1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Jett Tidy and now he Armstrong and Jetty.

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 4: It's a disgusting video, and we're going to continue to

6
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 4: make clear bigotry will get you nowhere. We are fighting

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 4: to protect the healthcare of the American people in the

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 4: face of an unprecedented Republican assault on all the things, Medicaid, Medicare,

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 4: the Affordable Care Act.

10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 5: Well, what disgusting video is Hakeem Jefferys talking about. He's

11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 5: the leader of the Democrats in the House. He may

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 5: be the Speaker of the House of the Democrats. Take

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 5: it back next year. And I'll say it's tough to

14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 5: see this sort of jocularity given the fact that my

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 5: kids and ies spent a lot of last evening praying, crying.

16
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 5: It was tough to get to the bed last night

17
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 5: with the looming government shutdown. I'm sure your kids are

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 5: upset too, as we all should be about a government shutdown.

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 5: Who freaking cares? But anyway, so Trump puts out this video.

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 5: Well I don't know who made the video, but he

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 5: posted it on his official site. So that's like giving

22
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 5: it the thumbs up. And we're gonna play the audio

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 5: here in a second. And it's AI generated, so it's

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 5: I don't know if you've seen Schumer and Jeffrey's standing

25
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 5: next to each other yesterday. They gave a little speech

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 5: about how the Republicans just wanted to burn things down,

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 5: you know that sort of thing, and uh, you.

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: To die of no healthcare for whatever reason.

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 5: This video has Schumer speaking and it's AI generated, This

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 5: isn't real, and Jeffries is standing next to him in

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 5: a sombrero with a big mustache.

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: I have no idea why that's odd. There's not really

33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: an explanation for.

34
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: A black man named Nakem Jeffries to.

35
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 5: Be wearing a sombrero with a black mustache. Anyway, this

36
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 5: is what the audio is.

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: Look guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all

39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: of our woke trans bolt. Not even black people want

40
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So

41
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: we need new voters. And if we give all these

42
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: illegal aliens free healthcare, we might be able to get

43
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: them on our side so they can.

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: Vote for us.

45
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 5: I guess they're leaning on the whole free healthcare for illegals,

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 5: which is part of the deal with the.

47
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: Black must wow anyway, Okay, now give me the outraged. Okay,

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: just the first vote again. Yeah, go ahead, play Jeffreys again.

49
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 4: It's a disgusting video. And we're going to continue to

50
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 4: make clear. Bigotree will get you nowhere.

51
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: Okay, there you go fight, So that's good enough.

52
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 5: And he said, if you think you're shut down as

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 5: a joke, it just proves what we all know that

54
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 5: you can't negotiate, you only throw tantrums. Bigotree will get

55
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 5: you nowhere.

56
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: The AI was right.

57
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: Nobody likes you because if you're woke bole bleep. And

58
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: I gotta say you look good with the mustache and

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: the sombrero. You might think of it as a look

60
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: if you can grow the thick, oh dark mustang.

61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 3: How do you not have it? If you can grow it,

62
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: I don't care who you are. You look good. I

63
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: would have that.

64
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: Ladies were not asking you, all right, Normally it's to

65
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: appeal to the gals. What we've straight males do not

66
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: in this case.

67
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 5: Well, as a single guy, I will wear whatever facial

68
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 5: hair is going to work the best.

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: That's all.

70
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: I didn't appreciate Sadam Hussein's politics. Man Oh, speaking of

71
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: woke bule bleep, Oh, a couple of things. Number One,

72
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: if you did not hear the excerpts of Pete Hegsath's

73
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: speech that we played last hour, we're going to reset

74
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: it an hour four of the show, so good. If

75
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: you don't get our four of the show, grab it

76
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: fed podcast Armstrong and getting on demand, you should probably

77
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: subscribe anyway, in which.

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 5: He said, among other things, we're moving away from a

79
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 5: woke military that s is over.

80
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: Yes, that is a heck of a statement.

81
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: So, speaking of woke bold Bleep, I thought this was

82
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: so interesting. The Wall Street Journal has an interview with

83
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: this CEO of American Eagle Outfitters. I'm ying those genes

84
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: right now. Oh, you're rocking him like crazy, please. And

85
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: this guy is I think he's seventy one years old,

86
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: but he famously surrounds himself with young people and hipsters

87
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: who know what young people want. He's super crazy about

88
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: what young people want to buy. That's his business and

89
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: good for him. But they talk about the terrible, terrible, controversy.

90
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: This one journalist lady who writes this, who wrote this article,

91
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: Suzanne Kaepner, talking about the big controversy with the Sydney

92
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: Sweeney jeans ads. The Sydney Sweeney has great genes.

93
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 5: I call these my Nazi gens. I put on the

94
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 5: Nazi gens today.

95
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: And of course this journalist lady takes it completely seriously

96
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: describes the ads and stuff. Then some people called the

97
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: double entendra racist. Others called the ads sexist. Even President

98
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: Trump weighed in blah blah blah sexist.

99
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 5: Wait a second, now, you can't have a hot chicken

100
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 5: jeans trying to sell jeans to women.

101
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: That's pretty crazy. Who want to be hot?

102
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: Checks?

103
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's ass way out of bounds. And then

104
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: of course the hint toward eugenics jack and nazis well.

105
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: And then the journalist lady writes this. Some marketing pundits

106
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: predicted the culture War uproar would drain American Eagles sales

107
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: and dent its reputation, as similar controversies had for companies

108
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: like Anheuser Busch and Target and Cracker Barrel. Oh no,

109
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: this is exactly the opposite. Cracker Barrel's a bit of

110
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 2: weird case because I think some people perceived something that

111
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: wasn't happening. But Anheuser Busch gave in to the woke

112
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: mind virus and offered perversity that the vast majority of

113
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: the American people aren't into Target exactly the same topple

114
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 2: down with the hey you should transition your child and

115
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: mutilate their body and feed them powerful chemicals.

116
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: Crowd.

117
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 5: Well, and you walked in the door at Target and

118
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 5: they had the trains display right in front.

119
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: The first thing.

120
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 2: Exactly American Eagle did the opposite. It's said to the

121
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: average normal Americans, hey, here's a hot chicken jeans, and

122
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: average Americans said, yeah, that's a hot chicken jeans. It

123
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: was the woke lunatics who were yelling, it's exactly the opposite.

124
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: Suzanne, can you miss that? I don't know.

125
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 5: Anyway, And the punchline is American Eagles as sales went up, right,

126
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they're just killing it. They're actually pretty good

127
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 5: Jens for the price the cheap. So did you know

128
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 5: in a coincidence.

129
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: He says, not believing it for a minute, they launched

130
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: their partnership with Travis Kelcey's TK True Colors clothing brand.

131
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: The symbol is TK, like Travis Kelce. They launched it

132
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: the day after Kelsey and Taylor Swift announced their engagement.

133
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: What a happy coincidence that is. He has a clothing brand.

134
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 3: I didn't know it.

135
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, session it's pretty cool looking. His style is

136
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: a little out there for me. Yeah, I haven't seen

137
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: his clothes that he's selling, but what he wears to

138
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: games and stuff, like, what the hell is that? You know?

139
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: What happened to me a couple of years ago when

140
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers were celebrating a playoff victory and

141
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: and there was news footage from their their party, the

142
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: team party, and I was reminded, Oh, these guys are

143
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: not like me. They're twenty six year old, hipster young males.

144
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: And yeah, they were all decked out in the I'm

145
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: a twenty six year old hipster male, you know, garb.

146
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: And it was not what I wear to the golf club.

147
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, Tk's out there a little bit for you.

148
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: But he looks like you know what he looks. He

149
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: looks confident, Yeah, which is extremely appealing.

150
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: Catch the ball. He did this last weekend. He's old,

151
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 3: he's what thirty now, thirty four and Taylor are both

152
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: thirty dog.

153
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway you go, American Eagle, keep stuffing hot chicks

Speaker 3: Everybody's fine with it.

156
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 5: Did you see the breakup news Nicole Kidman and Keith

157
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: Urban or splitting up after two years of marriage or

158
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 5: something like that? Had a pretty long Uh, you don't know.

159
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 5: You don't usually have marriages last that long in the

160
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 5: world to show biz. But it's fall It fell apart somehow.

161
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: I think because he's a girl. I think because he's

162
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 5: secretly a girl.

163
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 3: He is somewhat girl. He is a very effeminate dude.

164
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: He's pretty.

165
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: He can't help being pretty.

166
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, where's Eyeliner?

167
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of country music, my a couple of my kids

168
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: actually send me tracks out and listen to uh songs

169
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: we called them back in the old days, including Delaney.

170
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: My youngest insisted, I listened to Tyler Childer's song Biting List.

171
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 3: Are you familiar with that song? I'm not. I'm very

172
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 3: familiar with Tyler Childers, but I don't know that song.

173
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: I told her, Honey, I'll get to it. I've had

174
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 2: a rotten day, it's been very long. Blah blah blah,

175
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: she said, no perfect listen to it. The theme of

176
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: the theme of the song is I really don't like

177
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: you at all, And if I ever get rabies, you're

178
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: going to be on the top of my biting list.

179
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: I have a list of people I'm gonna run around

180
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: and bite. Now that's a funny theme and give them

181
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: the rabies. I know, how do you think of that?

182
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: That's a good that's a new ground. Sitting there, guitar

183
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: in hand, little G, little C, little D. That sounds

184
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: pretty good. I need some lyrics. Now let me think, honey,

185
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: I love you or I'm sorry your love is gone wrong? No,

186
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: how about this? What if I got rabies? Who would

187
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: I bite?

188
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: That is not moon June Spoon.

189
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:02,120

192
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,360

225
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 5: So Trump puts out a video with a King Jefferies

226
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 5: and a sombrero to drive home the point that the

227
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 5: Democrats plan will include free healthcare for illegals.

228
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it.

229
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: That's a I think that's abhorrent to buy.

230
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna guess, like eighty eighty percent of America,

231
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 5: if not more, I might be on the low side.

232
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: How many people want free health care for illegals?

233
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 6: Oh?

234
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: I thought you meant to the video itself? No, the

235
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: issue right right? Yeah? Nobody, nobody but soft heads and

236
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: their heads are soft. Don't worry about them.

237
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.

238
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: And how many people are actually offended when they see

239
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: that video. It's got to be a vanishingly small number

240
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: of people. This is the Internet age. We all see

241
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: crap every day that we can't believe that's true.

242
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: You're gonna like, oh my god, touching Jeffrey's say, somehow

243
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 3: technologically put a mustache on him.

244
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: This is racism, not like this is racism.

245
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,359
Speaker 5: After you were listening to Liati, Yeah, little probably comparison.

246
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 5: Are we going through a crisis of people stopping reading?

247
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 5: According to a couple of people who spent time looking

248
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 5: at it, yes, all the data would show yes, this

249
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 5: could be a major reversal for humankind. We'll get to

250
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 5: that later this hour. It's really interesting. Among other things,

251
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 5: stay here.

252
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 7: The government has different kinds of employees, for instance, national

253
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 7: park employees, non essential TSA agents, essential air traffic controllers,

254
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 7: kind of a gray area.

255
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the government shutdown. I guess it's gonna happen. I

256
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 3: don't know. I'm not paying any attention now.

257
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 5: You'll have to listen to somebody else if you wanted

258
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 5: to have an update on the government shutdown once it happens.

259
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: Though, if it happens, I will resume my militant stance

260
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: that if there's some national park or national seashore or

261
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: whatever you want to go to, go to it. If

262
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: you want to wander around in the woods, you don't

263
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: need a federal employee over there. Fifteen miles away sitting

264
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: in an office to do that, they try to barrow

265
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: you from the beach, go around the gate, or go

266
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 2: block down and sneak onto it.

267
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 5: I don't think they're going to from what I understand,

268
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 5: the Trump administration is going to try really hard to

269
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 5: not have people feel that ridiculous pain.

270
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: That's true because that was always the Democrats. Yeah, the

271
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: Democrats do that. It's the dumbest thing ever. You block

272
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: off national parks, well, this is your government shutdown. What So,

273
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: here's an interesting consumer story. It could soon ish be

274
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: as inexpensive or roughly at the same price to fly

275
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 2: private as it is to buy like a first class seat.

276
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: How is that even possible?

277
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny all the emphasis on flying cars

278
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: and that sort of thing. How about flying planes. Let's

279
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: make those better? Nice point? Nice point? Or is there room?

280
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: Maybe this is what you're getting to.

281
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: Is there room for people who are willing to spend

282
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: a couple extra bucks to have the seats not be

283
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: like the.

284
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: Seat in front of you right up against your nose

285
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: like some other option.

286
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: Terrible, But anyway, this story is all about a company

287
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: called Auto Aerospace. They have a new business jet that flies.

288
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: I think it's only like nine ten people. But among

289
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: other advances, it has no windows, which you'd think, how

290
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: big a difference does that make. It is so aerodynamic

291
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: partly because of no windows, and so much lighter that

292
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: it burns sixty percent less fuel.

293
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 5: Sixty percent less fuel. And I learned because I got

294
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 5: a buddy who's a private pilot. The whole deal is

295
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 5: the fuel. That's the whole thing. That's why it's so

296
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 5: expensive to fry private private or to have one. Even

297
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 5: if you could afford the plane, you couldn't afford to

298
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 5: fly it around because that's where the cost.

299
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: Is, right.

300
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I've always understood too. But so instead

301
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: of windows, because I've mentioned this before, I really like

302
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: looking out windows.

303
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: I like geography.

304
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: I like to see how suburbs spread, and I like

305
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: to look at golf courses from above. Anyway, I really

306
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: enjoy looking out the window. There are no windows. Instead,

307
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: the inside of this plane, if you want it, is

308
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: a panoramic virtual view of what you're over and what

309
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: you would be looking at, because it has teeny tiny

310
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: cameras looking out, like super advanced versions of your car's

311
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: backup cameras.

312
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like some cars, like a friend of mine's Escalade.

313
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 5: The rearview mirror is not real. It looks like you're

314
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 5: looking in the review mirror, but it's actually just a camera. Oh,

315
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 5: put in your review mirror and it looks exactly. It's

316
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 5: even better than if you so. Yeah, that's what it

317
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 5: would be.

318
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's really it's cool because it's like sitting

319
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: in some virtual reality something or other where the puffy

320
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: clouds are all around you and the sky is up

321
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: above with the stars and moon or whatever like surrounding you.

322
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: If you choose that.

323
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, much much less fuel expended here. And oh I

324
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: meant to say this. Early private jet company flex Jet,

325
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: which is one of the biggies, just signed a contract

326
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: to be to buy three hundred of them. Wow they

327
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: like them so much. Well, who knows. It's cool looking beasts,

328
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: no doubt. We'll post this at Armstrong and Getty dot com.

329
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you'll get paywald or not.

330
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 5: I fooled private one time my family for we had

331
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 5: a medical situation with my son and we wanted to

332
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 5: get to back to Kansas for a family thing.

333
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 3: I bit the bullet.

334
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 5: It was ridiculously expensive, But man, I can see the appeal.

335
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 3: Oh my god, just you just show.

336
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: Up, walk onto the plane the way the way, they're tree,

337
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: they have your food and drink there when you land,

338
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: you just walk. There's no no hustle, there's no bustle,

339
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 2: there's no security, there's no nothing. Oh yeah, it's if

340
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: you can't afford it, you do it.

341
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

342
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 2: It's amazing, but crazy expensive.

343
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, ridiculously expensive.

344
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 5: So people started reading, really the masses only about three

345
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 5: hundred years ago, and now we're stopping and is there

346
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 5: any chance of reversing that we might have had a

347
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 5: very brief period of time where people read. And well,

348
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,239
Speaker 5: I mean then maybe the question is that important or not.

349
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 5: I think it's very important, But the stats are troubling.

350
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 5: We'll get into that, coming up young people and not

351
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 5: wanting to read. And then more Pete Haggzet's speech in

352
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 5: front of all those generals and what you think of

353
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 5: that's getting a lot of.

354
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: Attention Armstrong and Getty.

355
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 8: A frightening moment on one of America's busiest runways. An

356
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 8: American Airlines jet packed with passengers Sunday night, headed for

357
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 8: Boston forced to slam on its brakes after a cargo

358
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 8: plane was crossing the same runway, a Boeing Triple seven

359
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 8: taxiing at lax. You can hear air traffic control directing

360
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 8: the cargo plane to cross this runway karm cars.

361
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 3: Heavy, Yes, and if you can do it, if you

362
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 3: can trap it sent a three mile final.

363
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 8: Those pilots instead making a right turn now directly in

364
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 8: front of that American Airlines jet speeding down the runway

365
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 8: at one hundred and fifty four miles per hour, seconds

366
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 8: from being airborne controllers telling the cargo plane to stop,

367
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 8: but it was too late.

368
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 3: Sherman Carlo's nine can heavy stop, We.

369
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 2: Are on the roadway, Joe, I'll just stay.

370
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: Let's got American three cancel pickoff planing.

371
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 8: The pilot's avoiding a near catastrophe, stopping the jet about

372
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 8: a mile down the runway.

373
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 5: Slamming on the brakes. Man, that would get your attention

374
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 5: on the plane. Oo, holy crap. Is this happening more

375
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 5: often or not? That's always the question.

376
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: Where is it just.

377
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 5: ABC News and everybody else figured out that it gets

378
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 5: people's attention.

379
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: Well, that's definitely true. But when was the last time

380
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: you heard anybody with lic a sense say tell you what.

381
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: Our air traffic control system is great. That's true.

382
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 2: It's modern, getting better, well manned, and the training is

383
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: good and getting better every day.

384
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 5: So this is not getting better. We've stopped reading. Came

385
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 5: across this on a substack yesterday and thought it was

386
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 5: damned interesting. Joe brings up a lot the what future

387
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 5: are we headed toward? The Orwell future or the Huxley

388
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 5: future that would be the nineteen eighty four future where

389
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 5: they banned books or the Thomas Huxley Brave New World

390
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 5: future where you don't need to ban books because there's

391
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 5: no one who wants to read them, as pointed out

392
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 5: by Neil Postman in Amusing Ourselves to Death, which I

393
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 5: can't believe I've never read. It's one of the classics

394
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 5: of all time. I've never read that book, and it's

395
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 5: a subject that is on my mind all the time.

396
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 3: It's clearly the latter.

397
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 5: You don't need to ban books because people aren't going

398
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 5: to read any books that are put out there.

399
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 3: And let me get into that with this piece.

400
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 5: One of the most important revolutions that happened in human

401
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 5: history happened about three hundred years ago. Now, the printing

402
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 5: press was invented around fifteen hundred, but it took a

403
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 5: couple hundred years before reading really caught on a thing,

404
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 5: partially because no one could read. I mean, you also

405
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 5: had the actual printing and distribution of reading material, and

406
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 5: somebody had to write it, but nobody could read.

407
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 3: Really.

408
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 5: But by seventeen hundred in Britain and France and Germany,

409
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 5: and then you know, growing in the United States, literacy

410
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 5: was just ex floating and people loved reading, absolutely couldn't

411
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 5: get enough of it, pamphlets, books, poetry, whatever to get

412
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 5: themselves more knowledge or having an idea what's going on

413
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 5: locally or around the world. Now I get to the

414
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 5: piece that I read yesterday that horrified me. More than

415
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 5: three hundred years after the reading revolution ushered in a

416
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 5: new era of human knowledge, books are dying. Numerous studies

417
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 5: showed that reading is in free fall. Even the most

418
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 5: pessimistic twentieth century critics of the screen age would have

419
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 5: struggled to predict the scale of the present crisis. In America,

420
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 5: reading for pleasure has fallen by forty percent in the

421
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 5: last twenty years. Since two thousand and five, reading for

422
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 5: pleasure has dropped forty percent.

423
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 2: That's incomprehensible and stunning.

424
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 5: In the UK, more than a third of adults say

425
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 5: they've given up reading entirely. The National Literacy Trust reports

426
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 5: shocking and dispariting falls in children's reading, which is now

427
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 5: at its lowest level since they've been keeping track. The

428
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 5: publishing industry is in crisis.

429
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 2: As has pointed out, books that once would have sold

430
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: in the tens even hundreds of thousands are now lucky

431
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: to sell in the mid four figures. So a book

432
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: that might have sold hundreds of thousands of copies just

433
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 2: a few years ago is going to sell five thousand copies.

434
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: Now, Wow, nation.

435
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: Talk about a different industry. Oh that you know, the

436
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: money changing part of it is the least of our problems, right.

437
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: But Tim Sanderfer, who's written a number of books, was

438
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 2: pointing this out to me, and we were texting the

439
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: other day about how he said, nobody reads anymore.

440
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: He can't sell books. Nobody reads. That's horrifying.

441
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 5: An article published in the Atlantic called the elite college

442
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 5: students who can't read Books.

443
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 3: And nobody read that article but back to you.

444
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 2: Cites the characteristic experience of one professor twenty years ago.

445
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 2: This professor's class has had no problem and engaging in

446
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 2: sophisticated discussions of pride and prejudice or crime and punishment,

447
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: some of the classic texts of all time. Now, as

448
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 2: students tell him upfront that the reading load feels impossible,

449
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 2: it's not just the phrenetic pace. They struggle to attend

450
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 2: to small details while keeping track of the overall plot.

451
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: Most of our students, according to the professor, are functionally illiterate. Oof.

452
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: The person that wrote this said, this chimes with everything

453
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 2: I've heard in my own conversations with teachers and academics.

454
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: One Oxbridge lecturer I spoke to described a collapse in

455
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 2: literacy among his students. And these are people at some

456
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 2: of your better universities. This isn't the average population. The

457
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: transmission of knowledge, the most ancient function of the university,

458
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: is breaking down in front of our eyes. Writers like Shakespeare, Milton,

459
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: and Jane Austen, whose works have been handed on, handed

460
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 2: out for centuries, can no longer reach the next generation

461
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 2: of readers. They're losing the ability to understand them.

462
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: Isn't that stunning?

463
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 5: This is happening before our eyes, but getting like no conversation.

464
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 2: This is the sort of thing that people have said

465
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 2: throughout history because it's kind of an egotism, but I

466
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 2: think it's right. Finally we witness the peak of mankind.

467
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 3: You are correct on both.

468
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 5: It is the sort of thing that people say because

469
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 5: of presentism and it's exciting to have your moment be

470
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 5: the most this or that.

471
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 3: But it's also true. Yeah.

472
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 2: Sometimes it takes the form of I can't bring a

473
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 2: child into this world because it's so terrible.

474
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 3: No, it's not.

475
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: It's one of the most comfortable, cushy worlds that's ever

476
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: existed in any universe.

477
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 3: You baby.

478
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 2: On the other hand, we have witnessed Mankind's peak and

479
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: are now witnessing the decline.

480
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 5: They point to one particular thing. I'll give you one

481
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 5: guess as to what it is that really caused the

482
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 5: super rapid decline. Anybody, do I even need to say

483
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 5: it now?

484
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 3: Not mine?

485
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 5: Porn, I won't even say it. The freaking smartphone, of course.

486
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 5: I mean it's made it hard for me to read, yes,

487
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 5: and we all know it. So that's a that's just

488
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 5: a fact. But what is what is a world where

489
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 5: there just aren't books.

490
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: We're practically there, we might already be there, where they're

491
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 2: just hard books. I mean, people write them and you

492
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: can print them, but nobody's buying them or reading them.

493
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 3: What is a world where there are no books? How

494
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 3: does it?

495
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 5: Because they point into this article is very very long

496
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 5: in the way that substack is, but it goes through

497
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 5: how it is tied into the rise of democracies and

498
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 5: capitalism and civil rights and all the different things that

499
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 5: have the good things that have happened for mankind humankind

500
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 5: in the last.

501
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: Three hundred years, not to mention technological advances and food

502
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: production and a thousand things. Yeah, these college professor as saying,

503
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: Shakespeare's just going to disappear from the scene. My students

504
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 2: can't read it. They can't understand it, and they won't

505
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: read it because they hate reading so much. Unfortunate so exactly,

506
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: my kids hate reading. They just hate it. And they've

507
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: grown up in a household with a dad who reads constantly,

508
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: but they just hate it, and so.

509
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: Do all her friends.

510
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 2: And I it's hard to be critical of it because

511
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 2: I know that feeling. It's work for me to read

512
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: in a way that it wasn't years ago, just because

513
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 2: of you know what, the dopamine addiction in the attention

514
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: span and everything has done to us. But I feel

515
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 2: like there's zero possibility that you can have progress with

516
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: humankind if reading disappears. Right, wrong, Am I just an

517
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 2: old person who claims that, you know, the invention of

518
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: the automobile is going to ruin society? Or well that's

519
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: true too, but oh yeah, no, you're right, You're absolutely right.

520
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 2: I've made an important life decision. I am going to

521
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 2: dedicate the rest of my life to deceiving and taking

522
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 2: the money of the ignorant. I mean, just because the

523
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 2: question before us is how do you have a happy

524
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 2: life in the world of the decline of humanity? And

525
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: that's exploiting the ignorance of others for your own wealth.

526
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: So ripping people off is the key to job. Well, yeah,

527
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: in words of a single syllable, yes, Michael, those harlance

528
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 2: of the common man.

529
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 5: Yes, those who do not read but have some money,

530
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 5: let's separate them from their coinage.

531
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,560

532
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 2: the firm handed spanking that they deserve.

533
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 5: That's wild and uh oh, I got one more chart

534

562
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 5: I'm trying not to have any judgment in this conversation

563
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 5: about the reading because I didn't read because I'm a

564
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 5: good person and I'm going to blah blah blah. Whatever

565
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 5: it was. There was a lot less to do. The

566
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 5: pace of life was slower, and I really enjoyed it.

567
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 5: And like I said, it's my enjoyment of reading. I

568
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 5: read much less than I used to spur, certainly long

569
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 5: form books stuff like that, because my attention span has

570
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 5: gotten so short. So we've created a world where our

571
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 5: brains are ruined and people don't read as much. But

572
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 5: the chart about a young people, people under the age

573
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 5: of eighteen, it was amazing the two lines crossing at

574
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 5: about two thousand and eight, right when the smartphone hit,

575
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 5: but it was already on the decline.

576
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 3: I wonder why that is just the Internet in general.

577
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: Maybe the Internet in general.

578
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: The omnipresence of media I think could be. But anyway, look,

579
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: when you've got when you've got two hundred channels, you're

580
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: more likely to find something you liked.

581
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: And when there were three but it is something.

582
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 5: Like seventy five percent of young people read nearly daily.

583
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 5: Back in the eighties, I did, Yeah, I did.

584
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: I read every day just for fun, not only just

585
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 2: stuff assigned i'd read before I went to bed, things

586
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: that I like to read. Now it's down to like

587
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: ten percent of people under eighteen that read for pleasure daily.

588
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: For a while there, I was reading Brave New World

589
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 2: like every other year in nineteen eighty four, like once

590
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: or twice a decade, just because it's long and a

591
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 2: little tar tougher. But yeah, one of the themes of

592
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: Brave New World is that you don't have to work

593
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: very hard to oppress people. You just keep them high

594
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 2: and amused, and they have no interest in opposing totalitarianism.

595
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

596
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: And the other aspect that I wanted to mention of

597
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: the people in the book was they were very shallow

598
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 2: ding you.

599
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 5: You're gonna, you know, take money from h dullards, you know,

600
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 5: exploit people. You're going to figure out a way to

601
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 5: steal from them. What do you think governments are going

602
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 5: to do or are doing when people don't read anymore.

603
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: Or they're milk and us like cows. Yeah, oh man,

604
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 2: they call the theft taxes. But it's the same process.

605
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: You know, I won't live long enough to be able

606
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: to win this bet, but you are right. We saw

607
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 2: the peak of mankind in our lifetime.

608
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 3: Right.

609
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: Wow, Planet of the Beavers, that's fine again. They're hard working,

610
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: they got the flat tail, they build stuff.

611
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 6: Uh.

612
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: Bees maybe can be their buzzy little assistance. Let the

613
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 2: bees have their shot at the world. Huh Uh? Anybody

614
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: argue with this at all? Text line four one KFTC

615
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: being human? I tell you what an easy.

616
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 6: So I think we'll get that done, But that's turned

617
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 6: out to be the toughest one. I'm so disappointed in

618
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 6: President Putin. I thought I thought he would get this

619
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 6: thing over with. He should have had that word done

620
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 6: in a week. And I said to him, you know,

621
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 6: you don't look good your four years fighting a war

622
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 6: that should have taken a week.

623
00:31:54,840 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 3: Are you a paper tiger? And uh, it's that's Trump today.

624
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 5: After Pete Hagath gave his big speech in front of

625
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 5: all the generals, which we're going to play a whole

626
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 5: bunch of in our four I often mention this podcast

627
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 5: that I listened to almost daily from the Telegraph newspaper

628
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 5: out of London, because they do a great Ukraine segment

629
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 5: every day. Their reporting seems to be that the military,

630
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 5: the Russian military is like close to collapse. Wow, they're

631
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 5: really really struggling. So I hope that that's true. And

632
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 5: I wonder if that maybe that that Trump doesn't have

633
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 5: that knowledge and that's what he's betting on.

634
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 2: Anyway, I have a great deal to say, but we're

635
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: pressed for time. Perhaps another time another day.

636
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: Trump went on to say this.

637
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 9: Of Russia, just to be careful, cause we can't let

638
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 9: people throw around that word.

639
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 3: I call it the N word.

640
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 9: There are two nd words, and you can't use either

641
00:32:54,400 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 9: of them. You can't use either of them. And frankly,

642
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 9: if it does get to use, we have more than

643
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 9: anybody else. We have better, we have newer, but is

644
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 9: something we don't ever want to even have to think about.

645
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: Ooof talking about those claims that believe are objectively false.

646
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: We don't have more, and I don't think we have newer.

647
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 5: We don't have more. Russia has more nuclear weapons than us,

648
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 5: but I guess we have better. Hopefully healthy that's true anyway, Okay,

649
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 5: we both have enough to destroy the planet like eight times,

650
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 5: so it doesn't make any difference different tomy, because we'll

651
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 5: get into that next hour. Came across this thought, this

652
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 5: was damned interesting. Do you know comedian David Cross, very

653
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 5: very funny guy. He was the Blueman group dude from

654
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 5: Arrested Development. If you remember that, he was in Mister

655
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 5: Show with Bob Owenkirk. He blasted a bunch of fellow comedians. Today,

656
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 5: some of the biggest comedians in America are going over

657
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 5: to Saudi Arabia to do a show for the Crown

658
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 5: Prints and all his friends, and David Cross said this,

659
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 5: and I thought it was really really interesting before his

660
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 5: friends go to Saudi Arabia's Rehod Comedy Festival. I am

661
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 5: disgusted and deeply disappointed in this whole gross thing that

662
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 5: people I admire with unarguable talent would condone this totalitarian

663
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 5: fifdom for what a fourth house, a boat, more sneakers.

664
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 5: We can never and this is the part that I

665
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 5: really like, we can never again take seriously anything these

666
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 5: comedians complain about, unless it's complaining that we don't support

667
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 5: enough torture or mass execution of journalists and LGBTQ peace

668
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 5: activists here in the States, or that we don't terrorize

669
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 5: enough Americans by flying planes into buildings.

670
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 3: I mean, that's it.

671
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: You have a funny bit about how you don't like

672
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 2: a Yankee candle or airport lounges. Oh, Craig, Okay, great,

673
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: But you're cool with murder and or the public caning

674
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: of women who are raped, and by having the audacity

675
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 2: to be raped, we're guilty of engaging in adultery.

676
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 3: Got any bits on that? These are some of my heroes.

677
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 2: Now, look, some of you folks don't stand for or anything,

678
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: so you don't have any credibility to lose.

679
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 5: But my god, Dave and Louie and Bill and Jim

680
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 5: all fill in the names if you don't know who

681
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 5: they are in a minute.

682
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: Clearly you guys don't give an s about what the

683
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 2: rest of us think. But how can any of us

684
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: take any of your seriously ever again? All of your

685
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 2: bitching about cancel culture and freedom of speech and all

686
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: that s done.

687
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 5: You don't get to talk about it ever again. By now,

688
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 5: we've all seen the contract you had to sign. I

689
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 5: guess it's floating around on the internet. How much money

690
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 5: they got paid. You're performing for literally the most oppressive

691
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 5: regime on earth. They have slaves for f's sake, he writes,

692
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 5: and that's pretty good. The comedians he was talking about

693
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 5: with those names, he was talking about.

694
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 3: Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, who's.

695
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 2: Going over there.

696
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's incredible.

697
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 5: Shane Gillis, by the way, one of my favorite comedians,

698
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 5: disavowed the festival, saying that he turned down an invitation

699
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 5: and a significant amount of money for an appearance fee.

700
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 5: Said I took a principal stand. You don't nine to

701
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 5: eleven your friends among the comedians that are going to

702
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 5: the re Hod Comedy Festival, Kevin Hart, Pete Davidson, Wayne Brady,

703
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 5: Jeff Ross, Tom Segura, but Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr,

704
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 5: who are always lecturing us about what's good and what's not.

705
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: Oh, heavily into politics. Yeah, isn't that something?

706
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sure David Ross didn't make any friends by

707
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 5: calling these people out, but he's one hundred percent right.

708
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 5: Don't lecture me about the you know, the various things

709
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 5: that are going on in this country and then go

710
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 5: take a giant paycheck from people who beat rape victims

711
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 5: and have slaves.

712
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and don't complain about the Sydney sweeneyad when you're

713
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 2: taking money from the Soudeast. Yeah wow.

714
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 3: Yes.

715
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 2: As a golf fan, this is kind of an old topic,

716
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 2: just because the live tour has been super controversial. But

717
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 2: others are those golfers constantly lecturing us, those comedians, Oh,

718
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: they hit golf balls for a living.

719
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 5: Those comedians, that's their whole act is lecturing us that

720
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 5: were not good enough people.

721
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 2: Well, truth telling, you know, in the way they would

722
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: describe it, probably yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a lot to

723
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: be said about this.

724
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 5: God, I can't believe Dave Chappelle's taking a paycheck from

725
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 5: Saudi Arabia. That's shocking to me. I would assume he's

726
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 5: going to respond to this and explain it.

727
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 2: Maybe he takes their money then comes back home and

728
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 2: bad mouths them, I don't know.

729
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 3: Or bad mouths them to their face. Maybe the cats.

730
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 3: That's great.

731

Speaker 2: Speech of the Pentagon will have highlights Next Hour. If
