Speaker 3: catch up on podcasts, subscribe to Armstrong and Getty on demand,

10
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: or one more thing we think you'll enjoy it. Sir,

11
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: I do want to talk more about the assassination of

12
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: that healthcare guy in the reaction to it online, but

13
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: also in terms of how much ignorance is being displayed.

14
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 3: And I excuse people for this because the media never

15
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: writes about this, or very very rarely does. The unholy

16
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 3: horrific interaction between government and specifically Obamacare and Congress and

17
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: private healthcare and insurance. It is an unholy relationship which

18
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: forces the private insurance companies to do things that they

19
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 3: would not normally do. So if you think, you know,

20
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 3: I got denied or whatever, and it sucks and I'm angry. Well, yeah,

21
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 3: you've got to look at Congress and people don't understand that.

22
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: So maybe we'll get Craig gott Wallace on to talk

23
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: about that later this week, or talk about ourselves.

24
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 4: But anyway, we're going to talk to a couple of

25
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 4: our favorite military analysts about what's going on in the

26
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: Middle East, because the United States is involved. Absolutely, we

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 4: have troops there and did a lot of bombing yesterday

28
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: in Syria, for instance. So that'll be at least an

29
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 4: hour two. I hope you can catch that. An economic

30
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: thing that I find interesting. Last week I was bemoaning

31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 4: the fact to that I did not buy bitcoin. Even

32
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 4: even if I had bought bitcoin after the first time

33
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 4: I bemoined bitcoin after the election, I still would have

34
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 4: done well. And then it hit one hundred thousand dollars

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 4: last week and whatever. But this article on the Wall

36
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 4: Street Journal young men are making risky bets on crypto

37
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 4: and politics and raking it in right now, I thought

38
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 4: was an more interesting sociological story than financial story about

39
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 4: the way young men feel in this country. And as

40
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 4: a guy who's raising a couple of young men, it

41
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 4: worries me a lot and did you know this if

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 4: you had a hypothetical portfolio.

43
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: Of course, nobody would have this, so it's a little unfair.

44
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: But if you had a hypothetical portfolio holding equal amounts

45
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: of bitcoin, gold, the meme stock, game stop, and the

46
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: sports betting stock draft kings, you would have returned sixty

47
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: two percent so far this year. That has tripled the

48
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: returns of a traditional portfolio that most of us have.

49
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: Sixty percent stocks, forty percent bonds, that sort of thing.

50
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: Sixty two percent. That'd be a pretty good year if

51
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 3: you had those days.

52
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's mostly young men that are doing this thing,

53
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 4: these things, these kind of stocks. Some forty two percent

54
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: of men's ages ages eighteen to twenty nine invested in

55
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 4: or used crypto, versus only seventeen percent.

56
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: Of women in that age group. A Pew Research.

57
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 4: Center said almost eleven percent of men say they are well,

58
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 4: I'll skip that, I'll get to this because I don't

59
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: want to. I want to use a part time. I

60
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 4: want to get to the part that I think is

61
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: actually most important. Some men say they have little choice

62
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 4: but to roll the dice in a world they believe

63
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: is stacked against them. Their participation in the labor force

64
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: is falling while it's growing for women in their age.

65
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 4: Young men are is less likely to enroll in college.

66
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: Men out earn women in the workplace and are more

67
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: likely to reach executive level positions. But some forty five

68
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: percent of young men said in twenty twenty three they

69
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: face gender discrimination. Only a third of men said that

70
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 4: in twenty nineteen. It's now almost half. That's how much

71
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: it's grown in just a few years, according to recent survey.

72
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 4: And then it goes through how many women are in

73
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: college campuses, and are this percentage of that and that

74
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 4: percentage of the I think the view that younger men

75
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 4: have of themselves in their role in society. Wow, that's

76
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 4: an underappreciated problem we have in the country, and I

77
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 4: don't know what we.

78
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: Do to fix it.

79
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:30,119
Speaker 3: I agree completely absolutely. You combine, you know, the things

80
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: you mentioned with people are not coupling, partly because so

81
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: many women are radical leftists who won't couple with anybody

82
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: who's not a radical leftist. You got to just the

83
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 3: value of the nuclear family being diminished in society, and

84
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 3: just all of the things that all of the like

85
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 3: most fundamental and primal things that drive men. I will

86
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: provide and I will protect have been taken away.

87
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: We've talked about this for a couple of years about

88
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 4: how the percentage of working age may bills that are

89
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: not in the workforce is as high as it was

90
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 4: during the Great Depression.

91
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: That's horrifying, Yeah it is and strange. Yes, it is

92
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 3: very strange in a society that's not, like, really focused

93
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 3: on what's going on. There is gonna pay price for

94
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: it at some point. No, because of the utterly moronic

95
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 3: whatever they say it was the second phase of feminism

96
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: or something where to be pro woman meant to be

97
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: anti man, which is just an idiotic notion. But that

98
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: doesn't mean it wasn't really popular.

99
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 4: But does this surprise anybody that more women come out

100
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 4: of high school thinking, oh, yeah, here are the many

101
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 4: opportunities for me in America of ways to make a

102
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 4: living and make a go of it in the world.

103
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: And it's much much less so for.

104
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: Young men to feel like, you know, college is for me,

105
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: welcoming for me, or this career path or whatever.

106
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 3: I have no data to prove this point, but I

107
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 3: suspect that it's true. I think a lot of young

108
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: men also emerge from their schooling beaten down right because

109
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: they have been systematically given the message there is something

110
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: wrong with you merely because you are male, but also

111
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: because like as a little boy.

112
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: You acted like a male.

113
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: Masculinity of any sort, including boyish energy, is pathologized in

114
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 3: our sick, sick communist government schools, combined with an attitude

115
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: that is changing things to Mike Row and lots of people,

116
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: but an attitude of the kind of jobs that a

117
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 3: lot of men would like to do are belittled, and

118
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: you know, paper pushing jobs that more women would be

119
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: more interested in are seen as fantastic. Well in just

120
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 3: the whole Obama era smugness about of course everything he

121
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 3: did had smugness about it. But the idea that college

122
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 3: is the only route for the respectable and those unwashed

123
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: idiot brutes who don't go to college and work their

124
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 3: menial jobs building HIVAC companies and being carpenters and whatever,

125
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: that's just.

126
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: Sad, so sad. Do they even have the power of speech,

127
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: those brutes? I mean, that was the attitude.

128
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 4: So if the takeaway from that article in the Wall

129
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 4: Street Journal was supposed to be that men feel like

130
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 4: they either do or just feel like they have no

131
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: route to success in America. They're going to take these

132
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: higher risk bets on crypto and some of these other stocks.

133
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: The Wall Street Journal of all publications shouldn't go with

134
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: if you had this imaginary portfolio.

135
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: Well nobody does so.

136
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 4: And even if you had that imaginary portfolio, you'd have

137
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: to get in at the right time and get out

138
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: at the right time to take advantage of that. So

139
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 4: I mean, again, the Wall Street Journal of all places

140
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 4: shouldn't shouldn't play that kind of game, right, right?

141
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 2: Exactly? Yeah?

142
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: I uh, well, I've had more to say on that,

143
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: but that's probably enough for now.

144
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 4: Well would you say, am I right or wrong about this?

145
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm just trying to assume my hurt feelings over

146
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: the fact that I don't understand cryptocurrency. Is it just

147
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: a very small percentage of people that are actually getting

148
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 4: in and getting out at the right times?

149
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 5: Too?

150
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I mean every time it goes up,

151
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: it goes down again, and those people take a bath.

152
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: But that's not very exciting to write or read about.

153
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: So it's like people who lose at Vegas. They don't

154
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: come home and tell their friends the other part of it,

155
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: And this is the part that I decided not to say,

156
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: but I'll go ahead. I lost four thousand dollars. Then

157
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: I got chlymydia. Nobody ever told me that. So I

158
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: used to play a fair amount of poker. I play

159
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 3: less now. And I think it's interesting that what is

160
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: one of the big financial places has all of their

161
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: new associates take one hundred hours of poker training and

162
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: playing and all so they start to understand risk and

163
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: levels of risk and that sort of thing. And I

164
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: don't get frustrated about missing these meme stocks and stuff

165
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: like that more than a little because and I hope

166
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 3: this makes sense to if you play poker, it certainly does.

167
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: You have a policy depending on where you are in

168
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: the game, how many chips you have, whatever. If I

169
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: have like a decent hand, I will roll the dice

170
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: and pay some to see, like in Texas, hold them

171
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: the flop. Those are the three community cards that come

172
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: out first. But if I have a crap hand, I

173
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 3: have a three and a seven, for instance, I'm not

174
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: going to pay anything to see that flop because it's

175
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: just unlikely as a percentage, it's not likely enough that

176
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: it would bear out for me.

177
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 2: And sometimes so you fold your hand. Then sometimes the

178
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: flop is three threes.

179
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: I'd have had quad threes and taken everybody's money, but

180
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 3: that doesn't matter. My policy is I do the math

181
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: in my head, and I don't gamble on things not

182
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: worth gambling on. So as long as you have like

183
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: a method to the madness of your investing in your

184
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: financial moves and don't beat an maybe it is. Maybe

185
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 3: you're young and untethered and you chase meme stocks and

186
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: bitcoin and stuff like that.

187
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: Good for you, but y fun. I'm kind of jealous.

188
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 4: But why does the Wall Street Journal crowd talk up

189
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 4: crypto like it is solid sound investment strategy. They don't

190
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 4: believe that. There's no way most of the people in

191
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: the Wall Street Journal believe that. No, it's almost just

192
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 4: purely speculation. So just it's exciting, It gets clicks, So

193
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: it's just like any other newspaper. It's just yeah, I

194
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: see those articles. I read them too, Yeah, yeah, and

195
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 4: I kicked myself right in the ass.

196
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

197
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 3: I try not to because that that whole foma thing. Oh,

198
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: it comes on strong, doesn't it. It's like you run

199
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: into a guy who says, yeah, I bought Apple in

200
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety one at four dollars.

201
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: Shut up. Nobody wants to hear that. Shut up, you're right.

202
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 4: Nobody ever says I got into bitcoin late, thought I

203
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 4: would jump on it. I lost a bunch of money

204
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 4: and I got chlmydia once again.

205
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: I don't know how this guy got clividio and my

206
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: stories everybody gets chlmydia.

207
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: Well, it's everywhere.

208
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: Careful the Armstrong and Getty Show, Yeah, or Jack your

209
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: Shoe podcasts and our hot Lakes.

210
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 5: The Armstrong and Getty Show.

211
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 4: One question I don't know the answer to, because we're

212
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 4: in this business so we are really not in touch

213
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 4: with the average person is how much regular people are

214
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: paying attention to this. I've heard a number of people

215
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: punditing around how normal people aren't paying attention to anything

216
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: that's going on politically right now. They kind of hear

217
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 4: about it and think Trump won't actually be the candidate.

218
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 4: Willie or Biden's too old, isn't he?

219
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 3: But they aren't paying any attention at all to any

220
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: of this stuff, and this will be their first introduction

221
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: to the thing where and that might be part of

222
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: Biden's strategy.

223
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: Hey, Trump's the candidate.

224
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 4: Did you all realize that he's running again, that a

225
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 4: lot of people haven't really grasped this yet.

226
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

227
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's true enough, Like I said,

228
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 4: because I'm in this business, it seems crazy to me.

229
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 4: But right, Yeah, it's difficult to put yourself in the

230
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 4: place of the non news junkie.

231
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 3: Yeah. I look back to my earlier life though, and

232
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have I wouldn't have been aware of any

233
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: of this stuff that we talk about every day, none

234
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 3: of it. I think vast majority of Americans don't buy

235
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: it's by v Trump. I'll it it's eighty plus anymore

236
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 3: on any of the issues.

237
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: I doubt it. Oh no, not really, Well, it depends

238
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: what issue.

239
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: I mean. I'm looking at an immigration story here that's

240
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: actually quite an interesting More than half of immigrants in

241
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 3: the US are unemployed.

242
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: So much for the whole weather boon to the economy,

243
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: they had to take jobs. Americas wop too.

244
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 4: I was switching around and I was on Fox this

245
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 4: morning and they had a live camera at the border

246
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 4: with a bunch of people running across, and Brian Kilmead said, hey,

247
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,359
Speaker 4: look some future lifeguards.

248
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: Has anybody explained that the bizarre and inexplicable Eric Adams

249
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 3: quote that why do.

250
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 2: We have all these migrants who are so skilled that

251
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: we need lifeguards?

252
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: So as long as I brought it up, more than

253
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: half of the foreign born immigrant population in the United

254
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: States under President Joe Biden's administration is I'm unemployed. According

255
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: to a recent report Center for Immigration Studies released apport

256
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: Monday that showed just forty six percent of migrants who

257
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: arrived in the US in the last two and a

258
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 3: half years were employed as the beginning of twenty four.

259
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 3: Well there their activists would argue, they need permits, they're

260
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: eating something.

261
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 2: Who's paying for the food? Taxpayers, the gunment, and the NGOs.

262
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 3: Yeah. Report found that also found that since Biden took

263
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 3: office in January twenty one, the migrant population why are

264
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: we using the term migrant in breight part, the immigrant

265
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: population in the United States increased by roughly six point

266
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 3: six million over the course of thirty nine months. Six

267
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: point six million in less than four years. See, I

268
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 3: ended up in the shower last night. This is what

269
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: I do for fun. This makes me a crazy person.

270
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 3: And the shower last night was like talking out loud

271
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: as if I were Donald Trump in the debate with

272
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: Joe Biden on how I would handle this whole thing,

273
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 3: I guess because I'd just taken in so much information

274
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: about it. But make some sort of speech about I

275
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 3: agreed to.

276
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: All your rules. You wanted all these different rules.

277
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: You picked the moderators, you picked the place, you said,

278
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: no audience, you want the mics. Fine, nothing is going

279
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: to get you to cover up the fact that the

280
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: three main issues, according to every poll in America for

281
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: months and months and months, the economy, immigration, and inflation,

282
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: you have failed on like nobody has ever failed before.

283
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 3: Then you lay out some statistics and you just hit

284
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: that like five times. Yeah, yeah, I would love to

285
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: see that. I get the idea Trump is listening a

286
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: bit more to his advisors, a bit more disciplined than

287
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 3: he's been in the past. But whether he will go

288
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: in loaded for bear in that way, I do not know.

289
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: I did never know with him.

290
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 4: He's got to have this stats at hand on the

291
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 4: immigration stuff. The numbers, percentages are the wraw numbers to

292
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 4: let people know, I mean, getting back to the course,

293
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 4: immigration is been the number one or two issue in

294
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 4: all the polling, So people are paying attention enough to know.

295
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: That right, I would agree. That's actually why I brought

296
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: it up.

297
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: I think people are acutely aware of that, even if

298
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 3: they're not terribly politically active, they're seeing it around them.

299
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: They're local towns and schools and emergency rooms and the

300
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: rest of it. My frustration with Trump is that he'll

301
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: probably come to the debate with like one statistic on immigration,

302
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: seven million immigrants, Joe, and then somebody will fact check

303
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 3: it and cast a little doubt on whether seven is

304
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: an accurate number or not. And since that's all he

305
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: leans on, it'll be easy to dismiss it.

306
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: But I don't know. We'll all find out together.

307
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 4: The inflation thing again, the news coverage of it yesterday.

308
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 4: Good news for consumers is they'll notice inflation slowing. Good

309
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 4: news when you go to the grocery store. Oh no,

310
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 4: that's not the way inflation works. You don't notice the

311
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 4: inflation rates slowing. That's not something you feel. People are

312
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 4: gonna continue to for a long time to feel shocked

313
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: by prices when we go and buy stuff, and the

314
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: fact that the Democrats don't get that, so he needs

315
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 4: to have some answer for that. I don't know if

316
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 4: Joe Biden is going to go with the it's the

317
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 4: corporation sticking it to you, gouging you.

318
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: But he's got to have some answer for inflation. Yeah right, Please.

319
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: At the very least, I'm putting my hands together in

320
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: traditional prayer.

321
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: Style praying to Donald Trump. Ooh, a cultist bibe.

322
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 3: One fact to at least be ready to rebut Donald,

323
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: is if Joe Biden comes out there and once again says, hey,

324
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: when I came into office, inflation was nine percent, thanks

325
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: to you.

326
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 4: Because he's said that in two interviews in two weeks now,

327
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 4: and it's just as wrong as wrong could be. Please, Donald,

328
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 4: be ready to rebut that.

329
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, they hit little KJP with that, Yes, sir in

330
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 3: the press room, and it was that job will cost

331
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: you a bit of your soul.

332
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: She had to say.

333
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 3: What the President is seeking to emphasize is that the

334
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: American people are feeling the effects of inflation.

335
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 2: So she didn't go there. Huh No, she just dodged it.

336
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 3: Of course, what's she gonna say, Well, he lied, he

337
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 3: made it up, or he's senile and doesn't know fact

338
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 3: from fiction anymore, or you repeat the easily checked lying

339
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: number again and embarrass yourself even more.

340
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 2: Right, so yeah, it's a tough situation to be in Armstrong.

341
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: And Jack, Armstrong and Shoe Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show.

342
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 3: Welcome to a replay of The Armstrong and Getty Show.

343
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 3: We are on vacation, but boy do we have some

344
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: good stuff for you.

345
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: Now on with the infotainment. Starbucks anounts this week.

346
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 3: It's doubled it's paid parental leave policy for baristas, while

347
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 3: Duncan employees are still insisting they're not the father.

348
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: How is that? What is that? That's some sort of

349
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 2: what coast thing? I don't get? Wow? What sort of

350
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: odd snobbery? The elite elite is out?

351
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 3: Speaking of the elite, you know, I know you wanted

352
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 3: to talk about something, and we will, By God, we will.

353
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: But you know I'm a big Brett Bear fan. It's

354
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: an article in the Wall Street Journal. The incoming Secretary

355
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 3: of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, just bought Brett Bear's home in

356
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 3: DC for twenty nine million dollars.

357
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 4: Brett Bear of Fox Yes is selling a home for

358
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 4: twenty nine million dollars.

359
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 3: That's because he bought one in Palm Springs a couple

360
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 3: of years ago, where he lives now. Apparently for thirty

361
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 3: seven million, so he owned Brett doing pretty well. So

362
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 3: he's been owning a thirty seven million dollar home home

363
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: while owning another thirty million dollar home least for a

364
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: little while, waiting for that to clear the market. Yeah, wow,

365
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 3: there are that many buyers at that level?

366
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: No, Jeck, wouldn't that. That's got to be something.

367
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 4: There's got to be like five people in the entire country,

368
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 4: maybe not even that many, because you'd have to be

369
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 4: conceivably able to afford.

370
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 2: It and then have any interest in buying a home

371
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: at that moment.

372
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 3: So it might be like two people in the nation

373
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 3: at any given moment that could and want to buy.

374
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 4: A home at that price range. I realize if you

375
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 4: have to ask, you can't afford it. But what the

376
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 4: hell are the property Texas on a house like that?

377
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

378
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: Hi karamba, yeahar bear. Thanks for that, Michael, A couple

379
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 3: things for you you can't overseell.

380
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 4: I don't think what a big deal it is. The

381
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal has this big piece on o'biden's brain

382
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 4: and how they've been hiding it forever. Here's an interesting thing.

383
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 4: Just teasing it because we're gonna talk about it. To

384
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: kick off hour two. We got to talk about it

385
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 4: every hour the whole show today because it's a big deal.

386
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 4: A couple of things that I've come across in terms

387
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 4: of just teasing the story for later is Matt Welch

388
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 4: pointing out PolitiFact said the lie of the year is

389
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 4: they're eating the dogs, They're eating the cats from Donald Trump,

390
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: that's the lie of the year, and links the Wall

391
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 4: Street Journal story saying White House meetings were frequently canceled

392
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 4: because Joe Biden's brain didn't work. Yeah, yeah, the dogs

393
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 4: and cats saying bigger lie than the hiding the fact

394
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 4: that they had to cancel meetings all the time because

395
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 4: the president's.

396
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: Of brain didn't act.

397
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 3: And where am I seeing most of the stuff the

398
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: little snippets of the Wall Street Journal piece from James

399
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 3: Holman of the Washington Post, who's retweeting all the most

400
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 3: juicy stuff from the Wall Street Journal story, probably because

401
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 3: he didn't like being lied to all this time, This

402
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: initial tweet being and again, we're gonna kick off our

403
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 3: two of this blockbuster reporting this morning from and he

404
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 3: lists all the reporters they have fifty sources detailing various

405
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: ways that Biden's inner circle was hiding his decline going

406
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: back to twenty nineteen, and that's going.

407
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 2: Back to the very beginning.

408
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 3: But that's a Washington Post guy saying that about the

409
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 3: Wall Street Journal article. I think that's notable. And Nate

410
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 3: Silver also retweeting that story and.

411
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 4: Saying, if you said any of this before June twenty

412
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 4: twenty four, you'd get accused of peddling misinformation, like there

413
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 4: was literally an entirely new category of misinformation invented cheap

414
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 4: fakes concerning videos of Biden's decline that they would accuse

415
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 4: you of. Now it's out in the open, and it's

416
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 4: interesting that all these other people are retweeting this stuff.

417
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 2: I find that unique.

418
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 3: Indeed, I will point out, at the risk of self congratulations,

419
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: if you've been listening to this show, you knew.

420
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 2: I mean, we didn't even I didn't take seriously the denials.

421
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: I thought they were hilarious, just idiotic. And it's all

422
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 3: been born out again, you know, final punchline, and then

423
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 3: we'll get to the story next hour in full, because

424
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 3: it's it's well worth hearing. There are still those within

425
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 3: the White House who were responding to this story and

426
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: the various accusations observations. Joe Biden seriously diminished noise. Not

427
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 3: you need to keep meetings short and simple with them.

428
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 2: No, you don't. He's very old men. No not.

429
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 4: There's still one hundred percent denying it. So again we'll

430
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 4: kick off hour two with that. And there's a lot

431
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 4: of interesting stuff in that.

432
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: I can't believe I'm talking about government shut down, debt

433
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 3: ceiling stuff.

434
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 4: But there are a couple of interesting things happening. As

435
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 4: we've already mentioned, Trump has come out and said he

436
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 4: wants to fully get rid of the debt ceiling, which

437
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 4: we have said many times before. Trump saying today the

438
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 4: Democrats have said they want to get rid of it.

439
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 4: If they want to get rid of it, I would

440
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 4: lead the charge. It's a fake thing. There's no real

441
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 4: value in terms of debt control, and we've been saying

442
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 4: that for years.

443
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: It doesn't actually do anything. It just puts us in

444
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: this weird bickering back and forth, weird political handcuff situation

445
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 3: every once in a while, but.

446
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 2: So far it's never accomplished anything. Right, Yeah, it's hilarious.

447
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: You could it's in first new clothes. Ish.

448
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 4: You could make the argument that at least once a

449
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 4: year twice a year. It makes you have the conversation

450
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 4: about debt, and without it, we won't. I don't know,

451
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 4: but so far it's never it's never helped, and it

452
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 4: is completely made up.

453
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: It's a man made thing. For what it's worth.

454
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: A newt Gingrich just tweeted President Trump and Republicans should

455
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 3: not be afraid of a government shutdown. The next election

456
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: is two years away. We had two shutdowns in nineteen

457
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 3: ninety five and became the first re elected GOP House

458
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: majority since nineteen twenty eight. It may take shock therapy

459
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 3: for Schumer and Democrats to learn President Trump is serious

460
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: about training the swamp. And a number of people pointed

461
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 3: out that during that time, when Bill Clinton was the president,

462
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 3: that was our last budget surpluses as a country.

463
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: They had a balanced budget multiple years to.

464
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 3: A ninety five. I was barely following politics at all.

465
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 3: I don't remember. I remember hearing stuff about Newton the shutdown.

466
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 3: That sad, but I didn't think about it. Ever, So

467
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 3: how much of the population would even be aware DC

468
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 3: goes nuts over this stuff. Oh, if you didn't have

469
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: the media acting like it's akin to the nationwide wild

470
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: fire or something screeching about it constantly.

471
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 2: No, you'd never notice, right, And it's always the thing

472
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 2: of this.

473
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: Many government ployees will miss a check, yeah, and then

474
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 3: they'll get the rest of it like three days later.

475
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no. They go with veterans.

476
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 3: It'll be veterans, disabled veterans, blind, disabled veterans will not

477
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 3: get their checks.

478
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god. And the old, the very old, the soul.

479
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 2: They can't even lift their hand to feed themselves. Trying

480
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: to figure out what sort of thing I want to

481
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: talk about today. Remind the mood for various things.

482
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, you mentioned Fox News and Brett

483
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 4: bher how much money he makes, yeah, or not how

484
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 4: much money makes, But he's selling one thirty million dollar

485
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 4: house since he moved into a thirty five.

486
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: Million dollars roughly. Yeah, which you mean you have both

487
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 2: at the same time, which is crazy.

488
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 4: Fox News dominated twenty twenty four so much it beat

489
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 4: easily CNN and MSNBC added together for the.

490
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: End of the year ratings.

491
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 3: That is something I'd like to know what News Nation

492
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 3: and OAN and some of the other ones are are,

493
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 3: what sort of traction they're getting? Yeah, so that I

494
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 3: don't want to bring that up. I can't I find

495
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 3: it interesting. Maybe I'll bring it up later. I just

496
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: can't make.

497
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: Myself talk about this. Wow, all right, it's a downer.

498
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 3: It's a conflicted man. We're listening to, folks, So do

499
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: you know anything about this.

500
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: Une?

501
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 4: The president of South Korea who's now gone because he

502
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 4: pulled that whole going to become emperor thing and martial

503
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 4: law and all that.

504
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: Luckily he suck, even suck.

505
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: Luckily they were able to get back in there and

506
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 4: vote him down and open the streets back up and

507
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 4: then impeach him.

508
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 2: Ian Bremmer tweeted this out yesterday, and I know nothing

509
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: about this.

510
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 4: Ewan's presidential campaign relied heavily on ai deep fake version

511
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 4: of him that was much more engaging and sociable than

512
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 4: the real him and got him elected. The real Yun's

513
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 4: capability turned out to be a rude awakening to people.

514
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 2: How did he? How did the world miss the story?

515
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: Did a guy get elected.

516
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 3: In a major economicly powerful country? Ian is implying through

517
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 3: deep fake videos portraying him in a way he's not

518
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: at all wow and misled people, And then when he

519
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: became president, people are like, who are you? You're you're

520
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: a weird.

521
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 2: Off putting angry. Exactly did that.

522
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 3: Think if Kamala had the videos out of her gliding

523
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 3: around the room merely throwing out clever bond Mo after

524
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 3: bond Mo making perfect sense, not giggling like a moron. Yeah,

525
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 3: it could have changed things, huh much. But they don't

526
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: have Hilary now Hillary. If they'd had deep fakes of

527
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 3: Hillary seeming useful and likable and whatever, that could.

528
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:20,479
Speaker 2: Have turned the tide of history.

529
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes they didn't have They don't have a

530
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 3: media there in South Korea where there are sources.

531
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 4: That could come out and say that never happened. Look,

532
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 4: I was in the room that night. That is not

533
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 4: what happened or something.

534
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 3: I have no idea. This is this story's brand new

535
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: to me. That's fascinating.

536
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 4: I saw it late last night and I thought I

537
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 4: got to dig into that because if that happened, that's

538
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 4: a major turning point in world history. I think, sure, Yeah,

539
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 4: they do have to figure out the AI. Some scientists

540
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 4: needs to figure out what percentage of perfect faces can

541
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 4: the brain handle and still think it's real or not.

542
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 4: Because the perfect symmetry, I feel like I can look

543
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 4: at the AI created people and me, that's ai. They're

544
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 4: too perfect. Nobody looks like that. Nobody's perfectly symmetrical. Even

545
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 4: really good looking people aren't perfectly symmetrical. But the ad

546
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 4: people are the chicks usually because they got them everywhere,

547
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 4: and it just they're they're obviously fake.

548
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

549
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 3: What's interesting is I know in digital recording, like music recording,

550
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 3: you can fix something to a grid so it's perfectly

551
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: in rhythm, and then you can instruct it to insert

552
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 3: fifteen percent variation. Interesting, and I I'll bet that sort

553
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 3: of thing's come into visual.

554
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: And you add and you would do that to what

555
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 2: mimic real humans.

556
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, essentially, it's like you fix something and then you

557
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: unfix it a little bit so it sounds more human.

558
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 4: Interesting. So I was a club DJ briefly when I

559
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 4: was younger. I knowed I like that Gladys.

560
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: Huh, And it was nineteen seventy seven.

561
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 2: Disco was king many decades after that.

562
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 4: But so I would have to mix songs together, and

563
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 4: like your rap or hip hop music or whatever, they

564
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 4: use what they call a click track. I mean it's

565
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 4: a computer dram. It's perfect, and so you can mix

566
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 4: beats together. But any rock and roll song if you'd

567
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 4: try to mix it there, like you know, back in

568
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 4: Black ACDC or whatever, you can't because the tempo varies,

569
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 4: rolling stones, any of the beat varies. They get a

570
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 4: little faster toward the end or slow down in the

571
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 4: middle or whatever, because it's human beings involved.

572
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: And I always thought that was really interesting.

573
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 4: Some of the most popular songs of all time, they

574
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 4: didn't keep a perfectly steady beat through it.

575
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 3: Of course you wouldn't, right, right, And I kind of

576
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: regret being mostly recording during the ear of click tracks,

577
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 3: because when you listen to those songs and it's pointed

578
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: out to you, you think that's why the last chorus

579
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: sounds more exciting. They picked up, they sped up a little,

580
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 3: they got excited, or they slowed down before it, just

581
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: because they were all looking at each other. And yeah,

582
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 3: there was human emotion involved, exactly. They got excited. Now

583
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 3: I'm excited, everybody's excited.

584
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 4: That'll be the difficult thing for AI to mimic, although

585
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 4: they'll figure soon enough. Also, looking at some of the

586
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 4: Elon headlines, he is a guy who is not concerned

587
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 4: what other people think about him. No, I don't think

588
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 4: it ever crosses his mind. I mean he is. He

589
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 4: is the all time king of I have no e

590
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 4: fs to give mine ego, wealth and autism. I think

591
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 4: there's plenty of people positioned, plenty of people with ego

592
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 4: and wealth, but they seem to be very concerned what

593
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 4: other people think.

594
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: He's not one.

595
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 4: And I said it yesterday you were gone somewhere that

596
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 4: I wonder how much of his ability. Oh, it was

597
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 4: the conversation we had about so Katie, you got the

598
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 4: name for me, some big business leader, gazillionaire also who

599
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 4: worked with Steve Jobs, and Elon Musk was talking about

600
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 4: the signal the noise.

601
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: Ratio thing that I'm kind of fascinated with, and he was.

602
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 4: He was talking about how Steve Jobs was ninety percent

603
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 4: signal ten percent noise, as in, ninety percent of everything

604
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 4: he did was focused on getting something accomplished with very

605
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 4: little extraneous whatever, and he worked twenty hours a day.

606
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 4: He said, Elon is one hundred percent signal. Wow, just

607
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 4: the way he's like twenty hours a day.

608
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 3: And I wondered how much of that is his Asperger's

609
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: just his ability to stay focused without like screw this,

610
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do something else. I'm gonna drink Margarita's and

611
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 3: flip through you know, porn or something.

612
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what.

613
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 3: I wish you could step on a scale or get

614
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: a scan or something and they can say, well, Joe,

615
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: you're twenty two percent signal.

616
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 2: I'd be like, what, yeah, no kidding. Do you remember

617
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: who that was? Katie? Yeah, Kevin O'Leary yea also big

618
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: on Shark Tank. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

619
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 3: Oh, you know it's funny on that topic. I've got

620
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 3: just a minor health thing on and everything's fine, but

621
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 3: they wanted to do an MRI of my brain to

622
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 3: make sure it wasn't a brain tumor.

623
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: And how do you say I got a health thing?

624
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 4: It's no big deal. They did an MRI to see

625
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 4: if I got a brain tumor. That seems like a

626
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 4: big deal.

627
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 3: I just the details of it aren't interesting, and we're

628
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 3: up against a break. It's it's a hearing thing, but

629
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 3: it's it's I think I know what it is, gonna

630
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: be fine. But anyway, I thought it was hilarious that

631
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 3: I got the results. I actually saw them at Getting

632
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 3: Ready with the show for the show today. Uh, and

633
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 3: it said please you share the patient and his MRI

634
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 3: looks normal and his brain showed nothing exceptional, and I thought, well,

635
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 3: that's pretty much confirmed by the trajectory of my life.

636
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 3: Exceptional the Joe Getty story. Yeah, that could be the

637
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: title of your book. We see nothing exceptional, The Joe Getty.

638
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 5: Story, Jack Armstrong and Joe, The Armstrong and Getty Show,

639
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 5: The Armstrong and Getty Show.

640
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 3: I dove into this article in The New York Post

641
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 3: by Joe Kanca, Democracy Dies in Bias blamed The Washington

642
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 3: Post's woes on its blatant political slant, and of course

643
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: I lapped that up like hungry dog because i hate

644
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 3: wildly biased progressive journalism and I'm glad the New York

645
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: or the Washington Post is getting kicked and it's heiny

646
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 3: and that they're changing course as well.

647
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: But I'm glad I.

648
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 3: Stuck with the article because this was even more interesting.

649
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 3: Multiple media outlets are struggling like crazy as Google, Facebook,

650
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 3: and to lesser extent x Twitter tweak their algorithms to

651
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 3: reduce the amount of news users view and their feeds

652
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 3: while keeping eyeballs and clicks for the tech behemoths themselves.

653
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 3: They're not sending you to news organizations they're producing the

654
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 3: content and trying to keep your eyeballs all day long.

655
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 3: Whi's just you know, one more reminder that big tech man,

656
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 3: anything that powerful has got to be watched really, really carefully.

657
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: But he makes the point that a steady.

658
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 3: Flow of traffic has come to a halt, diminishing a

659
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 3: critical stream of ad revenue, not only for the WAPO,

660
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 3: which has had a catastrophic, catastrophic loss in you know, clickers, readers,

661
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 3: to ad sales, all of it, but also for NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Time, BuzzFeed, NPR,

662
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 3: and many others. Some conservative publications are seeing a big

663
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 3: drop in readership for the same reason. Breitbart, for example,

664
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 3: has talied to seventy six percent decrease in traffic comparing

665
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 3: February twenty four to February twenty twenty. Wow, and February

666
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 3: twenty twenty the pandemic shutdowns hadn't really geared up yet,

667
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 3: So it's a pretty decent Apples Taples Frike Park does

668
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 3: a really good job, by the way, I think, Yeah,

669
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 3: that is amazing. At the Blaze, the drop is sixty

670
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 3: seven percent.

671
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't. I don't know if I have any point.

672
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 3: I just thought I had not realized that even your

673
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 3: really popular conservative websites, your liberal websites, just everything's down

674
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 3: as the voracious appetite of Zuckerberg, Pitch Eye and their

675
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 3: ilk just consume everything, right. And I feel like like

676
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 3: regular people that I talk to that aren't super news junkies,

677
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 3: they just kind of get it from the air. I mean,

678
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 3: it just kind of comes to them from It's not

679
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 3: the New York Times or CNN or Armstrong.

680
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 2: Anise, it's their feed on social media. It just kind

681
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 2: of gets to them well.

682
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 3: And the problem with that, obviously is from time immemorial,

683
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 3: independent media could support itself through ad sales, and that's

684
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 3: becoming harder and harder and harder. And I mean, at

685
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 3: the point that can you imagine Bright bar at the Blaze,

686
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 3: the Daily Caller, the Washington Times, you know, all of

687
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 3: the great conservatives, the National Review.

688
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 2: If all that stuff goes away and it's just Marcus

689
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 2: Zuckerberg giving you your news, ooh boy.

690
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 3: And his only interest in the news really is what

691
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 3: gets you to stay on Facebook.

692
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: Longer or Instagram longer.

693
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 3: Well, and to the extent that he has a news philosophy,

694
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 3: it is progressive.

695
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 2: Man. I hate that idea.

696
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 3: If I was a would be dictator of some sort,

697
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 3: I'd be licking my chops at that idea. Man no philosophy,

698
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 3: but a philosophy of clicks might be worse than a

699
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 3: liberal or conservative bent armstrong and
