These numbers are going to 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.200 start to add up. To get people's attention, we got 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.160 more on the Warner Ran and where that's going after 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.040 a tenth straight night of bombing coming up a little 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:45.560 bit later this hour. So this next clip. We played 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.760 it yesterday and people loved it so much we thought 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.400 we ought to play it every hour. You ought to 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:54.840 hear it. This is This is definitely nut picking where 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.880 you pick one cuckola and hold them up as an 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.960 example of this is what they're all like. Ah, probably 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.200 too many of them are like this. This is yeah. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.400 I wouldn't play this down. 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.880 This definitely fits what we were talking about last week 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.560 about the appeal of the DSA. 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.280 This is a college kid trying to explain what socialism is. 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.600 I know, I saw statistic amazing for you guys. More 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:23.480 than half of young Americans now prefer socialism over capitalism. 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:24.960 So if you can look into the camera and give 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.039 a thirty second elevator pitch on why socialism is better 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:28.800 than capitalism. 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.560 Community, are you tired of sitting alone and being by 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.240 yourself and having no one to talk to? VI a socialist. 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.759 It's all about com me. It's about Terry sitting down 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.240 and having coffee of random stranger and talking to them 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.840 talking about the game. Hell I have hugged more strangers 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.080 in this past summer because of the Knixt game, because 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.240 of the World Cup. Because socialism works is the watch 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:49.720 parties at a zorround hosts. 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.520 It's about the parties that we allow. 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.840 But you don't have cops hoogging every single site and saying, oh, 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.000 you can't be here because there's too many people, instead 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.640 of allowing people just being in their nature at natural 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.520 element of talking each other, dude, bond over things we 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:07.120 love and shared. So that scary word ain't me taking 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.280 your house? Is about me making sure your house remains 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:10.240 in your hands. 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:16.480 Some million doesn't take it from you. That's it. Wo wow. 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:18.799 Whoa And his vote counts the same as. 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:24.280 Yours, which either motivates the hell out of you to 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:25.960 get out and vote to cancel his. 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.639 Or makes you stay at home shaking your head. All 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.919 these years of talking about this sort of stuff and 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.119 elections and everything like that, I still don't quite understand. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.440 And I've asked them before on the air, and they're 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:42.280 never honest about it. Political professionals, how much of your 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.120 job is appealing to the dumb people who have no 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.919 idea what's going on on all these cable news shows 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:53.760 and you know, articles in the New Yorker and think pieces. 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.519 You're right for the whatever you act like it's about policy, 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.959 Isn't it a fact that to get over the finish 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.280 line you need a whole bunch of people like that 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.680 guy or dumb people who are you know, on the 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.040 other side of the political out You really have no 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.359 idea what they're talking about. He just got them into 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.760 your tent by the millions, and that what's won year election. 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.760 And I've never gotten any political professional to ever admit 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.080 that that's part of the job. It has to be 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:21.840 part of the job. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.600 I know, we both like reading and talking to some 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:29.360 of the real thinkers and politics. You're you're Jonah's Goldberg 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:33.040 and your Tim's send a fur and all. But in 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.240 terms of actual electoral politics, be better off watching Inside Baseball, 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.320 or just about equal dancing with the start. 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:42.200 There you go. 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:48.560 It's about frightening and or enticing people who have no 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.040 idea what's going on to come. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:55.480 To your troth. I mean that guy clearly doesn't have 0:03:55.560 --> 0:04:00.200 the slightest idea. I mean even the slightest idea. What 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:05.800 socialism versus free market is a is a conversation. 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.920 Yeah, he he knows nothing about politics, although at the 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.280 very end he finally got to it, like, you get 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.720 to keep your home and a millionaire can't take it 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:18.159 from you. So at least he heard something from somebody 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:19.160 that's stuck in his head. 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.360 But here's the part of that. They've never made more 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.960 friends in aarium time in my life, all these watch 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.960 parties with the Knicks. That's socialism. 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.880 What you just said is one of the most insanely 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:36.440 idiotic things I've ever heard. Everyone in this room is 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.400 now dumber for having listened to it. 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.720 That is true. May God have mercy on your soul. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.680 Also, that's one of my favorite lines for many movie ever. 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.880 That was an Adam Sandler vehicle, wasn't it a water boy? 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:49.880 Maybe? I think that's from Citizen Kane. 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:54.960 Okay, so you know, politically speaking, obviously he's an idiot, 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.720 but I think from a marketing point of view and 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:05.320 of serving social interaction, not socialism, but anthropology whatever the 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:09.359 modern world. I have now come into this narrative multiple times, 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.599 including that great piece I shared from the Wall Street Journal. 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:12.360 I think it was Friday. 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:19.560 The DSA has realized young people are lonely, they are 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.880 craving in person interaction. 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.479 They're craving purpose. We're going to give it to them. 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.120 So, as I was pointing out last week, they have 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:32.640 game nights, they have fun runs, they have ice cream socials, 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.159 they have a hundred excuses for young people to be 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:40.599 in together in person, and oh, you know, it reminds me, 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:45.280 honestly of some of the youth things I did through 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.360 my church as a kid. A lot of it was 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.360 social and then there was the Christian aspect of it 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.920 that was part of it, but the draw for a 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.840 lot of kids was absolutely the social aspect of it. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:00.680 There are a lot of things we did that had 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:02.839 nothing to do with the New Testament. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.200 My old kids have both been to church camps that 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.640 they went to because of the social stuff, right exactly. 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.840 And that's what the DSAY is doing and they're doing 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.920 it effectively, and why it's a good example that half 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:20.120 wit was absolutely a half wit. I think we scoff 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:26.719 at that strategy at our apparel to our peril around our. 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.960 Exactly. Yeah, we should not do that because they're onto 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.120 something different. Thing I mentioned last hour, which I don't 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.839 know much about. Maybe i'll look more into this. Uh, 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:42.880 somebody who's writing about tech bros socialism, And I suppose 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.919 that's the right term of for it, because your Elon Musk, 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:50.599 you're Peter Thiel, You're Mark and Dreesen, your various people 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.200 who are always talking about the future under AI are 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:58.040 talking about a post work world with top down distribution 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:02.800 and equity. How is that not socialism? I mean, that's 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.479 clearly what it is. It's going to be some sort 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:08.440 of tech socialism. Elon, who's clearly a free market guy, 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:13.080 and you know he's trumpy and he's he's warning us 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.360 about the Wolkes and socialists all the time. I think 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.880 his argument would be, well, that's what we're going to 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:20.480 have to do because there's going to be no jobs 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.000 in AI is going to do everything. But there's still 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:29.080 no way to describe that other than a government run economy, right, 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:30.360 distribution of funds? 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.520 Uh yeah, yeah, And let's just all agree that the 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.360 textbook definition of socialism is not what we're talking about. 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:44.280 We're talking about widespread redistribution of wealth and in heavy 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:49.800 government industrial partnerships to keep people from revolting. That's what 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.640 they're talking about. And that's absolutely what they're talking about 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:53.320 one hundred percent. 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.200 Yeah, And I don't understand why they never have to 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:59.559 answer for that. Who's going to collect all this money 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:03.280 when A is this being so productive? Who's gonna decide 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:07.200 who gets how much? How is that? What's the structure 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.360 for that that will be any better than any other 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.280 system that's tried this in the past. 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:15.440 Right, Yeah, it's not like they're not admitting it. They're 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.720 just not explaining how it will work structurally because I 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:18.360 don't think it will. 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.880 Well, that's been talk about the devils in the details. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.520 Oh yeah, yeah, one dred percent the whole ballgame. Yeah yeah, 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.600 here here more on that after word from our friends 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.680 and in cogni. There are thousands of places on the 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.440 Internet that have a file with your name on it, 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.720 with your home address, your cell number, your email address, 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.760 maybe even your medical conditions, your age, how you vote 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.400 your kids' names, thousands of them. You do not have 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.959 time to contact all of them and tell them, hey, 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.000 get rid of my info, because that is your right. 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.360 But in COOGNI has time. Got a perfect example. A 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.439 friend of mine contacted me last night and said, Hey, 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.600 I wonder you know about this sort of stuff more 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.120 than I do. Just got contacted by an old friend 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.480 from a job years ago I haven't talked to, who 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.400 said they need money and if they could just venmo 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.600 me seven and a half dollars, they'd vendo me the 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:07.199 money back. And I said, that's absolutely a scam anytime 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.559 they want those small amounts of money. How did somebody 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.280 come up with an old college friend blah blah blah. 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.439 That's the sort of stuff we're talking about within cogny. 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.920 All that stuff is out there on data brokers, all 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.600 this different information flying around, and the only way you 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.360 can get it off is if you've got incogny going 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.960 to the data brokers and legally forcing them to remove it. 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.560 Go to in cognit dot com slash armstrong right now 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.959 for sixty percent off. That's in cognit dot com slash armstrong, 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.400 I n coog and I in cognity dot com slash 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.520 armstrong take your private life off the market within cognate. 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.600 That's one of the key tells, which I only know 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.520 just because we've talked about it in the mornings. Is 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.480 the whole small amount of money thing coming out of 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:49.679 your account or it's a test, it's a low resistance. 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.160 Is this the sort of person that it's worth pursuing 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.200 this a scam on? 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.360 Yeah? Wow, it's frightening. The frightening part is that in 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.880 this particular case, it was somebody they worked with years ago, 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.800 but they had their phone number and sent you a 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.960 text from their phone number like it was them saying, Hey, 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.120 I've got a financial problem and I need some help. Yeah. 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:14.280 Yeah, I got hit with the party invitation thing and 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.760 got suckered not too terribly long ago. 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.800 I undid it easily. That would be. That'd be that 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.640 I'd fall for that absolutely. I wouldn't think twice. Oh 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.120 that sucks, yeah, bastards. 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.560 Well, and I have a friend who's getting married coming 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:35.280 up in the fall, and his invitation it's all electronic, 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.320 and the events, the schedule and just all the information 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.640 you need is electronic like it is these days. But 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.600 you need to sign on to the little invite site 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.040 whatever it is to show that you're an actual guest. 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.840 Blah blah blah. It is so similar to the scam. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.520 I was tired and distracted one day. I should have 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.040 recognized the subtle difference. 0:10:56.120 --> 0:11:00.640 I didn't. But it's pretty good, it's pretty sophistic Yeah. 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.160 I got hit with a text yesterday that I'm two 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:10.720 months behind on my rent from the company that does 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.600 the stuff with the house that I rent, and I 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.280 know that I'm not. But it had the link to 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:21.400 their portal, which I stupidly clicked on, but it looked 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.760 like the real portal, and I think maybe it was, 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:25.520 so I don't know. I don't know if they got hacked. 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.320 I don't I'm trying to straighten that out today. But 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:28.960 I may have clicked on a bad link and like 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.280 ruined my life. In fact, I might be completely broke 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.720 as we speak. Oh yeah, and drained of my bodily fluids. 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.200 In fact, my kids might not even be at my 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.280 house right now. Who knows what's going on. Michael. 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.560 If he hits you up, just say I don't carry cash. 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.000 That usually makes them go away. 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:44.120 That's actually true. 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:48.199 Yeah, yeah, speaking of not having any cash back to 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:49.120 the socialism theme. 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.280 We'll be talking about this a little bit more later. 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.000 If you haven't heard the DSA's actual platform, I have 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.680 it in front of me, and it's efing fruit loops. 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.040 We touched on it some yesterday. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:06.200 And also absolutely true now that mainstream Democrats are recognizing, 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:11.240 Oh wait a minute, this is not a mildly annoying 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.480 part of our big tent party. These people are common 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:21.960 for us, so that war will be interesting to witness. God, 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.680 i'd say, from over here on the right side of 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.160 the aisle, all as fascists gathered. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.560 Together plotting our fascist plots. Why are the sales for 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:37.160 many alcohol bottles up when people are drinking less? A 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:41.600 little bit of a suspicion about that story. I don't know. 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.480 I can't imagine, as a guy who knows a lot 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:48.560 of alcoholics, what's going on there. It's gone there, among 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.120 other things we got on the West, Stay tuned. 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:02.440 Who's bigger isn't necessarily better? A number of alcohol companies 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.360 have noticed sales of smaller bottles on the rides. That's 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.880 filling a move for them to offer more many bottles. 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.920 Experts say consumers appear more willing to buy alcohol when 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.079 they don't have to drop as much money to do 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.200 so makes sense. And sometimes, especially with wine Carolina, you 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.000 just want the one serving. 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:30.400 Right, Okay, So no, wrong, I don't I that might be. 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:35.960 It's doesn't make much sense. Really, booze is too expensive, 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.880 so you're buying the tiny little bottles. I assume you're 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.000 drinking the same amount, so it's actually more expensive to 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.080 do it that way. So that doesn't really make any sense. 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:49.440 Way more. I was thinking it might be. I have 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:54.880 no proof of this, whatsoever. Most secret alcoholics I've known, 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.720 I've never I was never a booze guy. I'm a 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.440 beer drink. I was a beer drinker. I was never 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.720 boozed a guy. But most booze like alcoholics i've known, 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.120 they're all about the little mini bottles in Casina. You 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:06.800 buy them and you can like pour them into your 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:10.080 coffee at work or watching your kid play Little League 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.880 or whatever it is you're doing. And I just wondered 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.720 if all this people are drinking less at bars and 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:19.040 stuff like that thing people are, Yeah, I'm not drinking 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.520 anymore Either're pouring your little tiny bottle into your thing 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:22.440 at the little league game. 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:24.960 You know, I as a man who just dropped a 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.840 substantial amount of money at a liquor store yesterday. Whenever 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.600 there are people in front of me in line who 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.680 are buying a bunch of little bottles, they're not sophisticates. 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:35.360 Okay. 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:41.840 Oh, and alcoholics are come from all wats of life, obviously, absolutely, 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.440 but they definitely look like people who are trying to 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.640 get away with with like day drinking all day day. 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:51.720 Drinks bottles of alcohol. Well, here's I. 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.880 Gotta do, like alcoholic hacks. That'll be my new my 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.320 website that'll get lots of HiT's. Get the big bottle 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.160 that costs the a lot less and get the little 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.320 travel bottles at the drug store for like your shampoo 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:06.680 or whatever. 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.840 It's obvious. Of course, I haven't rotted my brain with you. 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.520 Would you like me to explain it to you from 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:20.240 an alcoholic standpoint? Yeah, in your own mind, you think 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.880 you're just gonna have this one or two, or you're 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.360 stopping today and you won't need them tomorrow. 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:26.400 Or what. 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:30.800 Oh, that's what happens. You have to see, I'm strictly 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.200 so I'm off. You have to constantly lie to yourself 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.720 about how much you're gonna drink otherwise. I mean, if 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.280 you took it all in, it was I'm going to 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.840 drink eight hundred beers this week, So the smart thing 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:42.720 to do would be to buy them in bulk at costco. 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.960 You know, you buy one six pack at a time, 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.480 thinking that this is all I need. I need one, 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.480 I need another one, I need one more six packs? 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.240 You know, today I need to buy more six packs. 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:57.080 That's that's the why that is interesting. I wanted to 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.320 talk about because, uh, well this is the fit in 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.080 we're doing China Cabinet coming up later. Yeah, look inside 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.200 the China cab I like you when you say that way. 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.280 I hope I'm old, and you know I'm in the 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.000 winter of my life and my time has passed. My 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.520 generation's time is past. I hope the young people figure 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.560 out what to do about this whole algorithm thing that 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:22.880 we're all living under in terms of our news flow. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.720 I don't like my algorithms that I've got on my Twitter, 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:31.280 that I've got on my YouTube. Can I get different ones? 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:35.080 Can I can? Should I start multiple accounts so I 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:39.080 can switch around with algorithms? And it just it locks 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:43.280 you into an information flow and it's almost always unhealthy 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:49.160 my Twitter feed is just depressing as s and I'm like, quit. 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:54.520 I mean, I've noticed it affecting me. We've been on 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.760 Twitter for many, many, many years. It's just recently that 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:00.920 I started looking at the for you suggestion Twitter. I 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.720 used to always go to sites, I never had them 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.840 fed to me. I don't know why I started doing this, 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.080 but now I look at the for you stuff and 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.440 it figured out kind of what I'm interested in. I'm 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.480 kind of a guy that likes, you know, the world's 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.840 going to hell stuff, and so it just feeds me 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.919 endless World's going to hell like it's the only news. 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.399 And I've noticed that having an effect on my mood. 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:25.720 And they don't call it joy scrolling, and I want to, Like, 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:27.720 I wish I could go in there and say, hey, 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:32.400 make the algorithm more optimistic. Send me good news, because 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.560 I know there's plenty of it out there right right. 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:37.560 Just saw a story in the New York Post the 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.400 Treasury Department stopped one hundred million dollars from going out 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.399 to dead people in social scaritay I think it was, 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:47.200 I'll bring you the details later. 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:48.640 I almost didn't click on. 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.520 It because it was good news, because it was something positive. 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:54.400 I thought, what the hell's the matter with you? But yeah, 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.320 it's about the algorithms. Neil Ferguson. We referenced this yesterday. 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.320 Co wrote a great article about how historians are now 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.399 helpless against algorithms trying to straighten people out about the 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.760 Holocaust or whatever. And I was reading about that. How 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:12.320 young men they go down that road, that the Nazish road, 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.800 and they just get flooded with the stuff. It's terrible. 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:18.240 Yeah, that needs to hey, young people, fix the algorithm problem, 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:24.679 Armstrong and Getty. So we played the clip earlier, we 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.960 played it yesterday. We'll play it a lot. Some part 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:29.480 of it will probably end up in the clips of 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.880 the year. I would, oh, I love that the college 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:36.360 kid explaining socialism and say socialism is great. I've never 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.679 made more friends watching Knicks games together and watching the 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.919 World Cup together. That's socialism. And somebody texted that idiot 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:48.399 child doesn't know the difference between socialism and socializing exactly. 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.440 It reminds me of the scene in Spinal Tap when 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:55.520 Bobby Feckman says the cover of Smell but Glove is 0:18:55.600 --> 0:19:00.640 sexist and Nigel Toughnell says, what's wrong with being sexy. Right, Yeah, 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:07.320 it's very much same. Yeah. No, socializing is awesome. No, no, no, no, 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.040 there's a political movement called socialism that killed one hundred 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.919 million people last century. It's got nothing to do with 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:16.480 watching basketball games together. I thought it was game nights 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:17.440 and fun runs. 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:23.720 Oh no, wow, Lord, yeah, yeah, So the mainstream Democratic 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:25.600 Party is waking up to the threat of the DSA. 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.800 We'll talk about that little more later on. Also, Jack, 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:30.680 I know this will warm your heart. There's a new 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:35.320 specialty in counseling. It's getting more and more folks going 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.120 to it. It's counseling to get you over the stupid, 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:40.680 counterproductive counseling you've had. 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:45.199 Oh wow, what do you call it? Meta counseling or 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.760 counter counseling. I like counter counseling. 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:52.560 Yeah, it's illiterative anyway, or assonance I guess anyway, it 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:53.080 doesn't matter. 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:54.440 What was I going to say? 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:59.760 Oh, in particular, a new trend among counselors to make 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:04.159 everything that's bad that's ever happened to your trauma. Yeah, 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:08.680 and say you should several relations with your family. Oh, 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.159 skyrocketing levels of people reporting Yeah, my councilor told them, 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:13.600 don't even talk to your mom anymore. 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.720 Yeah, that's common. Oh my god, I have I have 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:19.680 lived that. I can't talk about it, not in my family, 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:23.800 thank god. Yeah. But oh that is a bad one. 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:25.400 So so much to gum. 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:34.800 But first, let's take a look inside a China cabinet. 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:42.560 China don't trust China. 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:47.720 That's true, Sir. I apologize for interrupting christ to me. 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:49.680 You haven't done this for a. 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:53.080 While, and I was thinking about the fact that several 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:55.080 different presidents have said, you know, we really need to 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:57.480 pivot away from the Middle East, which is a quagmire 0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:59.399 and a pain in the ass, because China is the 0:20:59.440 --> 0:20:59.960 real threat. 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:03.040 I was thinking about this too. Freed Zakaria made it 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:06.440 the focus of his Sunday show, and I thought, you're right, 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:07.760 but I don't know how to get out of it. 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:12.560 China is such a big winner in this US being 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:16.359 distracted from the biggest threat on the planet being China, 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:18.560 the fact that we're using so many of our munitions 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.440 and everything like that. China doesn't worry about the Middle East. 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:24.200 Why have we always gotten sucked into the Middle East 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:26.320 and been the ones to try to fix the problems, 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:29.000 which I really a lot of you America firsters who 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.879 voted for Trump have been screaming that this whole time, 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.440 why why are we the world's policemen in the Middle East? 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.800 Let him sort it all out. But on the other hand, 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.280 nobody else don't, is the answer. Nobody else in the 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.600 world was going to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, right. 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:47.280 The fact that China isn't worried about Iran having a 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.720 nuclear weapon doesn't mean it's not a problem. Yeah. 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.399 In many cases, America is like the believied sheriff of 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:56.480 lawless to the western town, just trying to keep civilization together. 0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:00.199
