1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty.

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:20,159
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. So

4
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: nobody watched this but me. I wish I got more

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 2: attention across America. It was Friday night or whatever in

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: New York City the Al Smith Dinner, and it's something

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: they have on a regular basis, is a big fundraiser

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: for the Catholics, and traditionally both presidential camp candidates show

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: up and make jokes about each other.

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: That's the way it's always been for whatever reason, and

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: nobody's exactly sure. Kamala Harris didn't show up to this

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: one this year, first time anybody's skipped it in forty years.

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: And my theory is that she cannot pull off humor.

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: She can't like, she doesn't have control of her voice

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: and her facial expressions and her weird cackle.

16
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: I just I don't think she can do humor. I

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: don't know.

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: Jim Gaffigan, the comedian who's been doing Tim Walls and

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: Saturday Live, he was the MC and one of his

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: jokes at the beginning was, Hey, camelist, so you can

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: go on Howard Stern the View, he listened the podcast

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: Your Daddy. He listed all those things the comments did.

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: But you can't come here to raise money for the Catholics. Okay,

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean it wasn't really a joke. It was just

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: a criticism really. But one of the weird things about

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: is there's just lots of Democrats and Republicans there of

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: all different stripes. And Trump was up there doing his

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,919
Speaker 1: comedy bit, which was pretty damn funny, with Chuck Schumer

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: sitting right there with him. I mean, so to me,

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 1: if you're believing Trump is Hitler in an existential threat,

31
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: none of us should be in the same room with them. Shouldn't,

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: let alone sitting there laughing at his jokes. Yeah, picture

33
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: Churchill there at some fundraiser was Hitler. I don't know,

34
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Save the Way whatever, Carson. We also have disagreements. I

35
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: don't like his mustache. Right anyway. I got a bunch

36
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: of clips who are gonna sprinkle throughout the show today.

37
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: But here's a little bit of Trump when he first

38
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: started his routine.

39
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: May Adams, good luck with everything, and they went after you.

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: They went after your mayor.

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: Ah, boy, I do that.

42
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 4: Nine and a half months ago, I said, and he

43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 4: just said something about it, about the administration. He's going

44
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 4: to be indicted any moment, and guess what happened. But

45
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 4: you're gonna win. I think you're gonna win. I know

46
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 4: you're gonna win.

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: Said, good luck, good luck.

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 4: It's a tor pleasure to be with you this evening,

49
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: amazing pleasure, and these days it's brilliant pleasure anywhere in

50
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 4: New York without a subpoena for my appearance anytime I

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: don't get a subpoena. I'm very happy they've gone after me.

52
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: Mister Mayor. Your peanuts compared to what they've done today,

53
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 4: and you're gonna be okay.

54
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: The idea of joking about all that sort of stuff,

55
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: Mayor Adams, huh, good luck. Everybody laughs. He's corrup We

56
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: got a corrupt mayor's stealing tens of millions of dollars

57
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: in text. May Oh my god, that's hilarious. Ha ha ha.

58
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean, just me, he got accused of getting the

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: hotel upgrades in Turkey and the millions. It just seems

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: so weird to me. I know, Trump is more rambly

61
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: and tough to follow than ever. Sorry, I'm supposed to

62
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: be enjoying the jokes. But yeah, he just he leaves

63
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: out so many words, doesn't finish sentences. It just I

64
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: remember interviews he did in the nineties, in the early

65
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: two thousands where he was incisive. You knew precisely what

66
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: he was saying in his reasoning. But he's developed that.

67
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just a comedic style of his but trailing

68
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: off every sentence anyway, it doesn't matter. So the election

69
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: is tied, has been tied the entire time. I looked

70
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: at a chart, so somebody posted over the weekend the

71
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: line for Trump and the line for Kamala outside of

72
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: and this is the average of the best polls, outside

73
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: of the tiniest wobbles. They've just been a couple of

74
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: points apart the entire time. That has never happened in

75
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: any presidential election since polling began. And it's still just

76
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: in that tiny little margin, within the margin of error.

77
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: And that's where we are in the same with the

78
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: swing states. You got these seven states that are going

79
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: to decide it, and they're all within it, like a point.

80
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy, It is crazy. Yeah, So everybody's heard that.

81
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: Everybody knows where the.

82
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: Polls are But this is some analysis one amusing and

83
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: two really interesting that they came across that gets away

84
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: from the endless polls stuff. I love this. Richard Shinder

85
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: wrote a piece who says America is in a company,

86
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: but the current presidential race is reminiscent one. The race

87
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump boils down to a

88
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: choice between human resources and sales. Miss Harris's manner is

89
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: that of a typical head of human resources. A well

90
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: run HR team secures talent, gives employees important feedback, et cetera,

91
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: but employees often perceive it as officious and hectoring. They

92
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: associate the department with the delivery of bad news. Given

93
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: its regulatory responsibilities, HR often plays the surveillance and reporting role,

94
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: breeding employee resentment. HR departments can be inscrutable, fostering mistrust.

95
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 3: So she's the pr professional Trump.

96
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, as the arch archetypal head of sales, his department

97
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: brings in revenue and sures a company can sell its product.

98
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: The office is essential, but frequently seen as bombastic.

99
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes it lacks sufficient attention to detail and can be

100
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: undisciplined with respect to profitability. A single team's well, they

101
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: focus on the top line, ignoring profits and product holiday.

102
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: They just sell.

103
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: Mister Trump's rallies often seem like corporate retreats led by

104
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: an overcaffeinated sales manager. His messages are aspirational, shoot for

105
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: the moon, you'll get tired of winning, et cetera, et cetera.

106
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: And this guy's theory is that while voters can appreciate HR,

107
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: and certainly they understand the importance of sales, we don't

108
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: want the head of HR or the head of sales

109
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: to be running the company. A really good executive understands

110
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: how to meld both vibes and fields. I just thought

111
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: that was funny HR versus sales, But then this to

112
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: a topic we discussed last week. Unless you have any

113
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: comment on HR versus sales, I'm not sure I have

114
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: ever worked with an HR professional that I wasn't afraid

115
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: was going to stab me in the back somehow.

116
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: They have a certain mindset.

117
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, one who I thought was that way turned

118
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: out not to be. But it's the nature of their

119
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: work anyway. So arn A Miss is a consultant and

120
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: polster he is going to be.

121
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: He's being used.

122
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: As a consultant he's not a Fox News employee, but

123
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: he's the head of Fox News Decision Desk that's crunching

124
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: all the numbers, and on election Night is going to

125
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: be in charge of calling various states and analyzing the data.

126
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: We've all seen the coverage, right, and oh, Michael Lett

127
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: reminds you, we've got to find that fabulous parody. Oh yeah,

128
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: old great parody of the Decision desk. It's one of

129
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: my favorite things that we've ever heard.

130
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: We'll definitely be using that to tuesdays from now. Yeah, yeah, indeed.

131
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: But anyway, the man who may call the winner is

132
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: ready to make a prediction for at least when the

133
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: news will come. Tuesday is election deadline day, because if

134
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: you can vote early for a month, what does election

135
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: day mean? But Tuesday you have to vote, right, the

136
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: over under is Saturday, he says, that's probably about right.

137
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: There's zero chance you're going to find out on election day.

138
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: I mean, normally I would plan to stay up late,

139
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: but there's zero chance they're gonna know who won Pennsylvania,

140
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: North Carolina, probably Georgia, so you know, Wisconsin. So yeah,

141
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: we definitely won't know on Tuesday. Yeah, and they go

142
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: into the various various details of why with mail and

143
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: voting and everything so close and then deciding on signatures

144
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: and disputed.

145
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: Ballots and blah blah blah.

146
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, if we know within a week, that'll

147
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: be good, which is unsatisfying, and again there will be

148
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: just just oceans of bitterness, anger, controversy, false memes on

149
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: the internet, disinformation, misinformation, and it's evil cousin mal information

150
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: if a something to look forward to. Part of it

151
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: is because the election is so close, But part of

152
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: it is, you know, well, as you've been saying, the

153
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: whole extending it from election day to election week to

154
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: election month various places. And even if you like the

155
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: idea of making it easier for people to vote, the

156
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: damages it's done to people believing in the vote is

157
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: not worth it. There's no doubt. There's just something about

158
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: finding out days later that makes it feel less real.

159
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: It just it just does.

160
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it doesn't really matter why or or it doesn't.

161
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't do any good to try to talk people

162
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: out of that perception, because the democracy depends on not

163
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: only the fidelity of the vote, obviously, but the perception

164
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: of the fidelity of the vote, and Honestly, if you

165
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: protect the fidelity of the vote, but people perceive that

166
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: it's corrupt, you will lose your democracy. And so and

167
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: I think the rock to vote, get every you know,

168
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:57,239
Speaker 1: dead person and comatose person and the indigent and the ignorant,

169
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: get a ballot into their hands and have them scrawl

170
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: an X on the line. Movement that's mostly democratic is

171
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: a serious threat to the perception of the fidelity of

172
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: the vote.

173
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: It's difficult to make the case.

174
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: Though it's much easier for you know, I could make

175
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: the preceding rambling paragraph a little more eloquent, and they

176
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: would come back with.

177
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: You're trying to disenfranchise people, right You're trying to keep

178
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 3: certain groups from voting.

179
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: Right now, that falls disproportionately on minorities.

180
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 3: Joseph, Okay, here we go.

181
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's here's another clip Trump from the Al Smith dinner.

182
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: Dig this.

183
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 4: But the press is reporting the Democrats are starting to panic.

184
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 4: They're panicking. They are panicking because, you know, the votes

185
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: that are coming and are coming in very very strong

186
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 4: a certain way. I won't tell you what way that is.

187
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 4: But Chuck Schumer is here looking very lum It looks

188
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 4: it looks to love. But look on the bright side, Chuck,

189
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 4: considering how woke your party has become. If Kamala loses,

190
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: you used to have a chance to become the first

191
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 4: woman president.

192
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: And I actually said, do you mind if I do that?

193
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: He said, now you gotta do what you gotta do.

194
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: Is a pro he's a profession So I thought that

195
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: it's so the joke in the punchline or something the

196
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: Chuck would get, you know, gender transition surgery and become

197
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: the first woman president.

198
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: And then the I asked Chuck.

199
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: If I could do that, joke says this too much

200
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: for you, and he said, now you do what you

201
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: gotta do. So just again, is he Hitler? Is he

202
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: a threat to democracy? Is it the end of the

203
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: country if Trump's elected president or not? Yeah? I can't

204
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: decide if it's entirely that the phoniness, or if there's

205
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: an element of Chuck Schumer that's like, yes, please do

206
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: take a shot at the lunatic way out there, transit.

207
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: They're not doing me any good. Yeah, that's that's it.

208
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: That's a decent point there. The only person who never

209
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 3: democrats maniacs, the only.

210
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: Person who never laughed at all. It left one time

211
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: was Mayor Bloomberg, former mayor of New York who ran

212
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: for president.

213
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 3: Briefly he looked he was very glomp faced.

214
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: He doesn't strike me as much of a great guy

215
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: to have at a party, No kidding. Oh, we need

216
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: to talk about what is that the October thing we

217
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: mentioned because this is be Chober theory. This might change

218
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: your life, the October theory. It's a new thing the

219
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: young people started. Most stuff that the young people started

220
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: going to be around for one day. Probably this will too,

221
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: among other things. We got on the way, stay here.

222
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 3: Right head.

223
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 5: Hitter digs in trying it is ready, kicks the livers.

224
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 5: Rudder takes off, swinging a bouncer to the right side.

225
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 5: This should do a Taylor collects on the first and

226
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 5: it's over. The Dodgers have captured the National League pennant

227
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 5: and they're headed to the World Series. The Dodgers beat

228
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 5: the Mets at six and win it. Here did I

229
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 5: ten five?

230
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: So a Dodgers Yankees World Series. It doesn't start until

231
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: Friday for some reason. I don't know why they need

232
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: that many days off, but there you go with that.

233
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: And generally, I think having the biggest stars in the

234
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: game play in the championships of any sport is good.

235
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: And you got show here Tony and you got yeah,

236
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: what's his name for the Yankees that hits all the

237
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: home runs? And there you go, Aaron Judge, there you go.

238
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: Thank you're thinking of or come to Judge have fun

239
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: with that. Would like to be cynical about it, but yeah,

240
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: it sounds exciting. Yankees, Dodgers, bring it on. So we

241
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: have regularly talked about New Year's resolutions being a combination

242
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: of dumb and whyse depending on how you approach it,

243
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: like a specific I don't know, see how long you

244
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: can do a thing doesn't always work out, but kind

245
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: of a reset of maybe some of your worst inclinations.

246
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a great thing.

247
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: And you don't really have to do it obviously on

248
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve if you are eating too much or

249
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: drinking too much, or not going to the gym as

250
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: often or whatever you're such suation is you don't have

251
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: to wait till January first to address that.

252
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: May maybe you know when it becomes a need.

253
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: But so young people have decided in some meme that's

254
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: popular on TikTok and social media, the October theory of

255
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: changing your life, which is kind of like a long

256
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: version of the New Year's resolution, I guess from what

257
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: I understand from reading about it. Dubbed October theory, these

258
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: people are rethinking their approach to the last three months

259
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: of the year. The reprop their approach to their life

260
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: on the last three months of the year, using it

261
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: as a time to set goals, pick up new habits,

262
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: and reflect again, essentially taking on the role New Year's plays,

263
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: but for the last quarter of the year. While I

264
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: am perpetually annoyed by the request that we take seriously

265
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: every meme on TikTok or every trend that lasts for

266
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: a day and a half TikTok challenge, people are driving

267
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: nails into their ears. It's sweeping the nation, and several

268
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: kids have gone deaf well, right. And it's interesting because

269
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: back in the day before electronic media, social media ideas

270
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: would evolve fairly slowly. They would have to have a

271
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: certain amount of consensus, and then you'd have to communicate

272
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: them to other people and that sort of thing, and

273
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: I think there was a real vetting process. Now, the

274
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: most idiotic idea in the world, for instance, driving nails

275
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: into your ears, you know that could.

276
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: Sweep the globe in thirty six hours and be gone. Huh.

277
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: But I am remind this October theory. I'm reminded of.

278
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: You know, every year after Labor Day, when we come

279
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: back and do the show, at the beginning of the show,

280
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: usually say something to the effect of a summer's over.

281
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: Play time is over, it's time to get serious.

282
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 3: This is the.

283
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: Fall, blah blah blah. And it's that idea, the Okay,

284
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: the summer's over. What do I want my real life

285
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: to look like? How do I want to be? So

286
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: I don't hate this one. No, no, no, it's a

287
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: pretty good idea. It's a pretty good idea. And I

288
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: have gotten in. My son is really getting in the

289
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: habit of going to the gym, and I can tell

290
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: it to be coming a habit.

291
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: And as I was explaining to him the other.

292
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: Day about how habits work, good habits and bad habits

293
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: are hard to quit. So if you can make a

294
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: good habit, man, it's awesome. Like it's very difficult for

295
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: me to not exercise because I got in the habit

296
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: years and years and years ago, and I just feel uncomfortable.

297
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: And if I don't do it in any given day.

298
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: But that didn't come naturally. It's very easy to have

299
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: the opposite habit. I've got plenty of other bad habits

300
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: that are really really hard to quit. Yeah yeah, all right,

301
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: you're making me feel guilty, but yeah, yeah, exercise is good.

302
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll use the October theory because everything also has

303
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: to have a Jetsy nickname, you know, make the fall

304
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: by getting serious time. I like it, man. I'll tell

305
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: you what between the holidays you know you've got, and

306
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: everything in travel arrangements and buying presents and getting family

307
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: together and how are you going to do this and that?

308
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: And happiness slash disappointment depending on your situation, and an

309
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: election that could get drawn out for weeks or months. Whooah,

310
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: So you think we're all going to be drunk, get

311
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: some booze hands or something. Yeah, yeah whatever. Your takes

312
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: the edge off of choice. For me, it's Pie, Armstrong

313
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: and Getty.

314
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 3: You need you have Brett there and to clear the air.

315
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: Yes, I do look like someone made a businessman in minecraft.

316
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: I am speaking to Vice President Kamala Harris. Let's welcome

317
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 3: right now to Fox News. Thank you, Brett. The pleasure

318
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 3: is neither about it. Thank you about the Vice president.

319
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: Give me the exact number of murderers you let loose

320
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: in this country.

321
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 3: Brett, I'm glad you brought up the topic of immigrate

322
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: million two million.

323
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 6: Okay.

324
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 3: The first thing we did in office was to introduce

325
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 3: a bit ten million. Give me a number.

326
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: We came up with a.

327
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: Bipartisan but you didn't have a number, though, please finish.

328
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: I'm asking you to. Well, then you have to listen.

329
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 3: Well I can't because I'm talking.

330
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: Well maybe when I go to bed.

331
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 3: Okay.

332
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: So the portrayal of the interview on Saturday Night Live,

333
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: which was fairly even handed, despite that clip which leaned

334
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: more on Brettbaer interrupting her a lot. Yeah, the difficulty

335
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: of managing a filibustering politician impossible. As we talked a

336
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: lot about on Thursday to day after the interview. If

337
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: a politician doesn't want to talk, your choices are really

338
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: be a jerk or wasted the time of the interview.

339
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: Those are really your only two choices.

340
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, just give away the time or come off

341
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: as a jerk. And when there's as we discussed on Thursday,

342
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: if there's a male female dynamic in play, it's even worse.

343
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: So anyway, having said that, some non politics for you,

344
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: everything's politics. Eventually, anyway, crises at Boeing, an Intel or

345
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: a national emergency. According to greg Ip who writes about

346
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: this sort of thing, and he talks about how an

347
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: and this is part of globalism, which looks absolutely fantastic

348
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: on paper during times of peace. But we have given

349
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: away our manufacturing might to the point that I mean,

350
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: we're still great at designing stuff. But boy Boeing has

351
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: had serious engineering problems. It's one of the greatest American companies.

352
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: It's now looking at reorganization, maybe even bankruptcy down the

353
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: road a little bit. And they go into the challenges

354
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: Boeing has had, but hobbled by investigations into crashes in

355
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: mid air, mishaps, blah blah blah, and Intel, which passed

356
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: on making chips for the iPhone.

357
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 3: They didn't think it would catch on at all. That's

358
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: got to be that ought to be a people talk

359
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 3: about new Coke.

360
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: Who cares about new Coke. They spent a bunch of

361
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: money promoting it. People said, yeah, I kind of like

362
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: the old stuff, So they went back to selling the

363
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,479
Speaker 1: old stuff.

364
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: It was fine. Intel passing on the iPhone. Everybody ought

365
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: to know that story. Wow, no kidding, Yeah, But anyway.

366
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: And then they get into a couple other problems that

367
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: at Intel and how they'd made several miscalculations and can't

368
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: manufacture in the US like it used to do as

369
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: everybody offshored everything.

370
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 3: And you know, both the candidates.

371
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: They also make the point that both the candidates are saying, yeah,

372
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: we'll take care of this through tariffs and subsidies. Jack,

373
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: would you like to talk about a certain nineteen eighties

374
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: American car during the time of tariffs and subsidies? The

375
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: quality of it my horrible, horrible Ford Mustang. Oh my god,

376
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: it's amazing we ever made anything that horrible at some

377
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: of our big companies in America. And I'm a big

378
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: Ford Van right. Oh yeah, their products are fantastic. But

379
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: back in the day when all the American automakers were

380
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: protected by high tariffs to keep away Japanese specifically competition, the.

381
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 3: Quality was absolutely terrible, terrible.

382
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: So, anyway, we have a serious challenge going forward as

383
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: a country because we offshored so many of our manufacturing

384
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: needs to hostile regimes. And it saved money and it flooded,

385
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, the United States with cheap goods. Here's where

386
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: Jack usually goes onto a rant, into a rant about

387
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: cheap crap as opposed to, you know, a washing machine

388
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: that would last you twenty years and when you broke,

389
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: you were shocked when it broke, rather which anyway, so

390
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: true was everything is disposable, from washing machines to coffee

391
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: makers to whatever. Yeah, at the end of nineteen ninety nine,

392
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: which is not terribly long ago, four of the ten

393
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: most valuable US companies were manufacturers. Four of ten today

394
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: zero are Wow. Now Tesla is ranked eleventh, so that's

395
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: right outside the top ten.

396
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 3: But it's it's troubling. It's troubling.

397
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: And Tesla, which is now vilified for its politics. Where

398
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: did I read a good article about that, about how

399
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: all everything going after Elon Musk is is politics. It's

400
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: just they don't like the fact that he likes Trump.

401
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: I mean, so that's it's yeah, not good, right, But

402
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: then you get into the question of which manufacturing ought

403
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: to get public support, what kind of support you don't

404
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: want quote unquote industrial policy or central planning.

405
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 3: That's disastrous, it's.

406
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: Complicated, and so many the doctrines of twenty five years

407
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: ago are just not useful now the world has changed completely,

408
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: So you know, I guess we know to cite Boeing

409
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: once again designed the airplane while we're flying it. Speaking

410
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: of which, Jack, I knew you'd love this story. If

411
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: you haven't seen it yet, it's very right, Brothers. The Inn,

412
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: there was a giant contest essentially technology competition hosted by

413
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: the Canadian military saying asking how do.

414
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 3: We bring down drones?

415
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: What's the best way to fight unmanned aerial vehicles and

416
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: smaller drones in battle. I'm sure most of you are

417
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: already familiar with the fact that the war and Ukraine

418
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: has been like fifty years worth of progress in unmanned warfare.

419
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: They're everywhere doing everything from reconnaissance to de bombings to

420
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: shootings to whatever anyway, and then if you send a

421
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: whole bunch of drones at something, it's very difficult to stop.

422
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: So in this big contest, Boeing showcased a futuristic laser

423
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: weapon that can punch a hole straight through a hostile

424
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:31,239
Speaker 1: area threat aerial threat laser weapon. But they lost and

425
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: several other defense giants lost to four college students.

426
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 3: That's awesome. Oh yeah, straight out of the Right Brothers.

427
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: If you're not for would you like to give a

428
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: very brief overview of the situation.

429
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 3: When the Right Brothers were doing their work well, the federal.

430
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: Government was spending tons of money on various projects to

431
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: try to come up with manned flight and it surprisingly,

432
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: not surprisingly, didn't work at all. Lots of waste, lots

433
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: of very slow, lots of bad ideas, lots of bureaucracy,

434
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. Couple of guys who run a

435
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: bicycle shop without all the bureaucracy and the hang ups,

436
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: and using their ingenuity beat the federal government on a

437
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: shoestring budget compared to the what DC was spending trying

438
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: to get a plan out of the The euro governments

439
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: were working on that too, but it was plucky, you know, entrepreneurs.

440
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 1: So anyway, four college students won the damned contest. They

441
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: knocked the drones out of the sky using sound waves.

442
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 1: The rookies device was developed in the backyard of one

443
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 1: of the students parents using an old car speaker. If

444
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: you can believe that, let's see the four University of

445
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: Toronto engineering students spent around seventeen thousand dollars of their

446
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: own money to develop their anti drone technology. Their speaker

447
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: like device blasts ultrasound waves that destabilize the drones navigation systems,

448
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: sending them off course.

449
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 3: Or crashing to the ground. Well, that is very right,

450
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 3: brothers E.

451
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: And that they used bicycle parts and standing on the

452
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: beach observing the wings of birds to put this together

453
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: with not very much money, a car speaker and not

454
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: much money to bring down drones.

455
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 3: Pretty good, right, And.

456
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: This is such a brilliant example of free enterprise in

457
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: the free market, and how just what an incredible blessing

458
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: it is as opposed to you know, big elephantine central planning,

459
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, government controlled crap. Please look at China. I

460
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: could go on for days. I got all sorts of

461
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: interesting stories about China. But in Ukraine, for instance, there

462
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: are more than two hundred mainly small drone makers who

463
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: are innovating like crazy all the time. And that's the

464
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: way progress is made. Boy, this is going to move

465
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: so fast though that I mean, the drones came on

466
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: the scene so fast, and then the progress at shooting

467
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: them down, and then I'm sure some newer drone that

468
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: gets around that this is all going to happen at

469
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: a speed like nothing like happened with machine guns, tanks, planes,

470
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: et cetera. F twenty two's Yeah, how long does it

471
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: take to develop the next you know, with all in

472
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: all fairness, I mean, fighter plane's an incredibly complex set

473
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: of systems and technologies and the rest of it. But yeah,

474
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: do you see the article over the weekend about how

475
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: we're taking a whole bunch of old air strips that

476
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: we have on various islands over there by China and

477
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: getting them back up to speed again, No, I missed

478
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: that man.

479
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: That got my attention.

480
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: A bunch of airfields and territories that we have that

481
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even know we have. We have a lot

482
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: more land than I think most Americans are aware of,

483
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: but little islands that we had built no airports airbases

484
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: at during World War II and had been taken back

485
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: over by the jungle over the last seventy five years

486
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: because we didn't need them.

487
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 3: Well, we're getting prepared for war with China.

488
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: And that's what really got my attention is that we're

489
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: taking this seriously enough that a lot of these were

490
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: cutting down the trees and repaving the thing and getting

491
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: these different little air strips around that part of the

492
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: world back up to speed so we can land and

493
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: take off if we need to go to war with China. Oof.

494
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: That's a hellic thing. I'm glad we're doing it, but

495
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: it's very sobering to think about. As I said, I

496
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: missed that. But I'll bet some of the names would

497
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: sound familiar to World War two. Baff sure, absolutely, some

498
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: of those island battles and everything.

499
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 3: Okay.

500
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: And one final note, totally apolitical, although again, everything eventually

501
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: gets political in a way, doesn't it these days. I

502
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: love this headline happens to be from the Journal. Does

503
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: everything in your blue binet really get recycled? You would

504
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: be surprised.

505
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't. No, I wouldn't. We've been talking about

506
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 3: this for years.

507
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: But you know what, actually, you might be surprised at

508
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: how pathetic it is. It's the law in my town,

509
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: you get. If they find out you're not doing it,

510
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: you'll get fined. So that's why I tell the kids,

511
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 1: I know it's stupid. Let's put the plastic bottles here,

512
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: in the cardboard there and the other traction there, just

513
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: so I don't get a freaking fine. Wow, they forced

514
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: you to your knees to submit to their dictatorshipt or oppressions,

515
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna pay a fine. Why would I want

516
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: to do that? Even though would Alexi Navalny say, Jack

517
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: his memoirs out by the way, I really want to

518
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: read that.

519
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 3: It's supposed to be incredibly moving. That's completely fair. What

520
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 3: Alexi da voltis.

521
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: Your submission to the brutalities of a dictator. I tell

522
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: the kids, it's no more effort to put the bottles

523
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: in that trash can than that trash can, so let's

524
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: just do it. But it's dumb. There's no doubt it's dumb.

525
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: The fact that I have to pay for the trash

526
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: can is what makes me so angry. You have to

527
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: have it. It's like whatever it is, fifty bucks a

528
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: month or something like that. Michael, what's the old saying?

529
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: All that's required of good men for evil recyclers to

530
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: triumph is their silence. Man, if there's a hill I'm

531
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna die on, it ain't this one anyway. So plastic

532
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: containers and packaging, the plastic that goes in the blue

533
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: pin or whatever you have, guess what percentage actually gets recycled.

534
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: If it was half it would be horrible, It would

535
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: be mockable. Right, How do you feel about thirteen point

536
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: six percent?

537
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 3: Wow?

538
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: Thirteen point six friends, Again, if it was half, it

539
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: would be supermarkable, Like half of this stuff gets in

540
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: the regular trash anyway. No, it's so it's a significant

541
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: go ahead. Sorry, so it's eighty seven percent. Well, I

542
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: get the rest of the numbers. Another seventeen percent got incinerated. Okay,

543
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: so Burne significantly more got incinerated than recycled.

544
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 3: Nearly seventy percent went to the landfill. There you go.

545
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, unbelievable. Now paper paper, eighty one percent actually gets recycled.

546
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: Okay, So like cardboard and stuff, Yeah, yeah, exactly. Uh,

547
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 3: glass containers.

548
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: About thirty one percent aluminum, including cans and foil, it

549
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: was around thirty five percent. Quit saying that with the

550
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: tone of voice, like, that's good. Thirty percent of Oh

551
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: use whatever tone of voice. I want you on your knees,

552
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: submitting to the commune in your down lazio to lecture.

553
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: Thirty of the glass gets recycled.

554
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 3: Yes, and that's that's a wind.

555
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, why are we even doing this? Aluminum,

556
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:17,479
Speaker 1: which I'd assumed was like one hundred percent is thirty

557
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: five percent. Well, and everywhere I live anyway, you know

558
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: in California, you got at all stores the four different

559
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: kinds of trash cans everywhere you go, and yeah, it

560
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: all goes into the same lens, and they got different

561
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: kinds of holes and different kinds. Can't figure it out,

562
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: and it's always listed as like composts or this one.

563
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is. It's so hard. But

564
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: so it's all just going the same place anyway, the

565
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: bulk of it.

566
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 3: Anyway, I'll tell you what it is. It's bull crap.

567
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: It's fraud. It's virtue signaling fraud, and somebody's making a

568
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: lot of money off of it, which you can't forget.

569
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: All the time, there are people profiting greatly off of

570
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: this fraud. That's what keeps it going. It's not the

571
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: we're helping the environment a little bit. It's like, wait,

572
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: we got the special trucks, we got special cans, we

573
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: got all the people that work for this thing that

574
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: does nothing. Yeah, if that revenue stopped, our campaign contributions

575
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: might have to stop.

576
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 3: So maybe we stick with the blue bin. Huh.

577
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable. Thirteen percent of the plastic actually gets recycled. Unbelievable.

578
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal with a heck of an editorial piece

579
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: today that's getting a fair amount of attention. Who's the

580
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: actual fascist Trump or Biden. We'll get to that at

581
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: some point. Stay with us.

582
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 5: Are strong.

583
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 6: This guy, This is a guy that was all man.

584
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 6: This man was strong and tough. And I refused to

585
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 6: say it. But when he took showers with the other

586
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 6: pros they came out of there, they said, Oh my god,

587
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 6: that's unbelievable.

588
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 3: I had to say it, so we left.

589
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: It was But so that was Donald Trump and Latrobe, Pennsylvania,

590
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: hometown of Arnold Palmer, who was the most famous golfer

591
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: in the world for quite a while and the biggest

592
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: pitch man in the world for my whole life, and

593
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: endorsing oil or whatever. Anyway, Arnold Palmer and Trump is

594
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: old so as Arnold Palmer was a hero to him,

595
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: and talking about how apparently Arnold Palmer was blessed and

596
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: guys would notice in the locker room, and that is

597
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: if fire the last five list five things I wanted

598
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: to say about Arnold Palmer that would not have made

599
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: the list, but it made the crowd. Laugh, and it

600
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: made the media's head explode as he is, you know,

601
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: devolved into vulgar references to male genitalia at his is

602
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: it his rally? So all right, there is ten seconds

603
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: at an hour and a half rally and whatever. But

604
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal has got an interesting opinion in

605
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: Peace Today of who's the fascist Trump or Biden. They

606
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: go through some examples. We'll get to that next hour.

607
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that a little bit. So

608
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: I had a rare opportunity to do anything other than

609
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: parent over the weekend, and I went to San Francisco

610
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: for a night and I got to see my first

611
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: I've seen many drug casualties being a guy who lives

612
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: in California over the years, but I had not seen

613
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: any of the people that are on trank or whatever

614
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: the new stuff is where you're a zombie. And I

615
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: left the completely barren Union Square area of San Francisco

616
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: where there were just no people at all, tourists, shore

617
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: homeless people or anybody. Lots of cops, lots of armed guards,

618
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: but really no cars or people. And then I was

619
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: driving to another area to do some shopping and I

620
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: drove down Mission, which is kind of a famous, very

621
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: seedy street of San Francisco, and I was driving down

622
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: Mission and it was just a sea of humanity. All

623
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: sleep been on the street, whizzing on the street, leaning

624
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: up against buildings. But I saw some of the people

625
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: doing the lean where they just stand there and they

626
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: kind of hang like a zombie out of a movie.

627
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: It's like it was a bent over at the waist.

628
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: It was like it was a Halloween thing, like you know,

629
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: their mouths kind open their eyes and they just standing

630
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: there and they just sway.

631
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 3: A little bit.

632
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: Wow. I saw lots of people doing that. I'd never seen.

633
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: I'd never seen that with my own eyes. It's quite shocking.

634
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 3: Sentinel, the sentinel leaner, the trank lean whatever they're doing. Yeah.

635
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 3: And then I and it's something to witness. To think that.

636
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: You could allow society to devolve into that is amazing.

637
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: And then I saw this article in the New York

638
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: Times under an LA Freeway a psychiatric rescue mission. The

639
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: crisis of homelessness is pushing American psychiatry to places it

640
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: has not gone before, like sidewalk injections of antipsychotics. So

641
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: the headline mentioning homelessness and not the fact that these

642
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: are all drug addicts, that we have a rug addiction problem,

643
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: an explosion of the worst kind of drugs that I've

644
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: ever been developed are being used in the streets. Not

645
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: that it's it's homelessness, it's that that's the problem. You know.

646
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't have any problem with treating people with psychiatric problems,

647
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 1: because we've failed miserably dealing with mental illness and housing

648
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: prices are high. But why will you never talk about

649
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: the drug crisis, which is which is like the whole problem.

650
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: It's very very first, a lot

651
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 3: Of it Armstrong and getty
