Speaker 3: This is a look at the live camera of a

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 3: tornado which could be passing by our station right now.

7
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: Take shelter.

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 3: Everybody in the Fox tirty five building gets your safe space.

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: We're catching debris right now on the roof. We're hearing it.

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 3: You can see a debris flying there on the camera.

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: This is a tornado.

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 3: Seek shelter, immediately, get under your desks, guys, anchors, under

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: the desks. Okay, we got power flickering out.

14
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: This is a confirmed tornado. Okay.

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 3: I've been doing this for a very long time. That's

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: the first time with tornado. He's hit while I'm doing

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: the weather.

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 4: You're not the captain of the Titanic. You're a meteorologist

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 4: at a local TV station. You don't need to go

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 4: down with the ship, do.

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: You no, Although, as you know, I was the tornado

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: anchor at the Mighty KSA l and Solana, Kansas.

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 4: Straight toward the window. You feel like it's your duty

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 4: as a broadcaster stay on it, even if it risks

25
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 4: your life. No, I wouldn't pale.

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: I'd stay there on the mic, playing sadly on my

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: violin as the radio station blew away to OZ. He

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: makes several different movies together.

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: So I got a quick question before we get to

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 4: our latest word salad, which from Kamlos may or may

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 4: not include seed oil. So yes, seed oil is the

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 4: hitler of foods, as far as I can tell, according

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 4: to R. F. K. Junior, and people I know who

34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 4: swear that they've eliminated seed oil and now their joints

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: feel better, and I don't know, they dance better, and

36
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 4: all kinds of it was.

37
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: Wheat two years ago. It's just every couple of years.

38
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: Maybe it's everything, maybe eating, maybe being alive is fatal.

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. Are you Have you looked in I

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: haven't looked into it at all, So I get.

41
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: I did.

42
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: I did a little quick search on it a few

43
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago, I guess, and came away from it unsatisfied

44
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: and uninformed.

45
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: Sea oil is in practically everything. I understand. It's in

46
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. I guess. I don't know.

47
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's like you and climate change. I

48
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: looked into it, said all this stuff is conflicting. That

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: doesn't sound very scientific. I don't know what to think.

50
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: Click and I was done.

51
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: There you go. Ultra process foods have lots of seed oil.

52
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: I guess it's anyway.

53
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: And on that topic, I tell you what I came across,

54
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: something very very persuasive. We need to stop subsidizing our

55
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: junk food culture.

56
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that is interesting. Yeah, so we'll talk about

57
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: that in a little bit. But we have to get this.

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: We have all our agriculture subsidies and everything set up

59
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: to continue what we're doing.

60
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: I know, I know, And it's unholy.

61
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: And conservatives who including Trump, who yell about waste of

62
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: money and subsidies and handouts and the rest of it

63
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: for the farmers, that's fine. If there are good reasons

64
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: for that, just go ahead and tell us, and we'll

65
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: vote in favor of it, and Congress will too. But anyway,

66
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: if social security is the third rail of American politics,

67
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: farm subsidies are I don't know. Being pushed off of

68
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: the platform in front of the train. She'd have gotten

69
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: to this earlier in the day. It's so exciting. She

70
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: has gone, but not forgotten. Ladies and gentlemen, world class

71
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: lunghead almost the president. Good God help us Kamala Harris

72
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: at an AI conference. We'll play it then try to

73
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: figure out what the hell she's talking about.

74
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: Clip sixteen.

75
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 5: Michael, So, I was willing to give up whatever might

76
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 5: be the trackings of Kamala Harris's particular.

77
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 6: Fondness for Nacho.

78
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: She's Torito's for.

79
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 5: The sake of getting a big bag of Dorito's.

80
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: As I watched the oscars. That's the consumer behavior, and

81
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: that's right.

82
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 5: But here's the thing, at what point do we also

83
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 5: uplift and highlight the consumer's right to also expect And

84
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 5: you can.

85
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 2: Debate with me if it should be a right.

86
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 5: I think it should to expect that the innovation would

87
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 5: also be weighted in terms of solving their everyday problems,

88
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 5: which are beyond my craving for Dorito's.

89
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: She's a moron, I think is the key issue. I

90
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 4: think she's got a brain processing disorder. That first part

91
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: I'm going to assume made more sense in context, although

92
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 4: it might not have.

93
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: What would lead you toward that conclusion been.

94
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 4: But then when she launched into her and got I'd

95
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 4: forgotten it.

96
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: It was like.

97
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: Slipping into a comfortable old pair of shoes, remembering when

98
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 4: she changes her tone and she goes into that here

99
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 4: I go to lay on the real wisdom of things

100
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 4: that matter, and we cannot be unburdened by the.

101
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: Thing, you know, and she and I and I fall

102
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: for it.

103
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 4: Every time I think, Okay, here, here, here, Okay, I'm

104
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: not quite track, Okay, you've lost me.

105
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't even know what we're doing now.

106
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: Every time, yeah, yeah, we used to.

107
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: I can't remember. Can I still do?

108
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 4: But I seriously think she might have a brain processing

109
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: disorder where she can't organize thoughts, or she's an idiot.

110
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 5: It is time for us to do what we have

111
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 5: been doing in that time, as every day.

112
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: She's in the wrong line of work. Class a Laurn.

113
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: We worked with a guy years ago.

114
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: I won't use his real name because he was a

115
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: nice fella and doesn't deserve a kicking all these years

116
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: later if he's even still with us. But he was

117
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: a would be sportscaster.

118
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 2: Michael and I are both trying to guess, Oh, it's

119
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: somebody not here. No, no, no no.

120
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: We worked with him in Wichita years and years ago,

121
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: and again, could not have been a nicer fella.

122
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: And very bright.

123
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 4: We weren't the nicest to him in retrospect, well, mocking

124
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 4: in person. In person, we were, but mocking his name

125
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: on the air every single day probably wasn't the nicest

126
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 4: thing to do.

127
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: It was funny. It made me laugh. It makes me

128
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: laugh right now. I'm we all fall short sometimes.

129
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: Shut up Gavin speaking a lunkhead. No, he's not dumb,

130
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: he's just evil. Ah. And this is older, merciful, raised

131
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: three kids, seen pain and Joe, and I still think

132
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: it's funny. So anyway, but this guy, who again was

133
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: a terrific guy. He would be attempting to do a

134
00:06:54,520 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: sports report like ad lived and he would say, and

135
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: a fourth inning home run by Johnson, who, of course

136
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: just recently arrived at the Wranglers from Oklahoma where he

137
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: went to college.

138
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: The Sooners, who are soon to be the.

139
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: Number sevent team in the nation thanks to their coaching

140
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: change of Edwards taking the helm there after his briefront

141
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: at San Jose State. And then he'd be like nine

142
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: tangents down the line. You couldn't even remember.

143
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: What sport you're talking about, or what game or what happened.

144
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: The guy could not resist a tangent and actually, you

145
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: know what, there's somebody I know who is exceptionally bright

146
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: and not a moron who has that same problem. And

147
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: I keep wanting to say to him, Look, I know

148
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: you want to be an effective speaker. When you feel

149
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: yourself tempted to throw in that tangential thought, resist it.

150
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: Resist it. You can get to it later. I think

151
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: I found him on social media. No, yeah, well I'm

152
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: glad he's still around.

153
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: I might and it's him, and it looks like him

154
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: and his wife, and they looked very happy together all

155
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 4: the way.

156
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: He does have a BLM thing on his Oh no,

157
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: I'm turning on him again. That's funny. I was thinking

158
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: of maybe calling him. I'm apologizing years later making fun

159
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: of his name every day.

160
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: He's either a neo Marxist or the sort of fool

161
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: who doesn't understand he's being manipulated by them.

162
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: It was a running joke, it was a gag. Everyone

163
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: was in on it.

164
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: Everyone had fun except for him.

165
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: Well he needs to lighten up, huh.

166
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: It was just good sporting fun for everyone.

167
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: But the target is it often the case, Oh well,

168
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 4: what are you gonna do?

169
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: I do to know what's happened to you? It was fine.

170
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: Maybe I have low t It was silly.

171
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: It's not like we're calling him dumb ass Jones, true,

172
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: the world's worst.

173
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: It was a silly little nickname. You're right.

174
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: We called him Glaring Emo because it sounded kind of

175
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: like his name, But glaring Emu there was sports glaring Emu.

176
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 2: Right, It's as if his name was Gary.

177
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what the last name would

178
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: because I don't want to use his actual yes name,

179
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: but it sounded somewhat like glaring Emu.

180
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 4: Well, the look on his face every day when I

181
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 4: introduced him was not that he enjoyed it.

182
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that.

183
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: Well, he needed to lighten the hell in the entertainment business.

184
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: Glaring the new Canadian.

185
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 4: Prime Minister is talking talk, talking tough to the United States,

186
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 4: among other things.

187
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: On the way, stay here.

188
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 7: America is not Canada and Canada never ever will be

189
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 7: part of America in any way, shape or form.

190
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: We didn't ask for this fight. We didn't ask for

191
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: this fight.

192
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 7: The Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves,

193
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 7: so the Americans, they should make no mistake.

194
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: In trade.

195
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 7: As in hockey, Canada will win.

196
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 4: Mark Karney, new Prime Minister of Canada sounding a lot

197
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,479
Speaker 4: more alpha than the beta Justine Trudeau.

198
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 2: More like a babe than a babe.

199
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: I uh er, I'm not sure that's a great it's

200
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: a great tone for domestic politics. I mean, it could

201
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: not be better for Canadians. I'm not sure I would

202
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: like threaten trumpet that.

203
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 4: I was thinking that too. It just seems like a

204
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 4: much better angle. I mean, because you are You're still

205
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 4: Canada and we're still the United States, and it just

206
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 4: seems like it'd be a good idea to say we

207
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 4: look forward to working with the Trump administration and starting

208
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 4: a new or something like that.

209
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, do the tough stuff behind the scenes. Although

210
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: again I get it for domestic politics. I just the

211
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: whole we're out of nowhere dropping our gloves with Canada.

212
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: It's just it's crazy. I don't know.

213
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: I wish Trump would explain what he's trying to do,

214
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: although that's part of his thing is to get everybody

215
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: so off guard because they don't know what the hell's

216
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: going on that he gets what he's looking.

217
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 4: For well, and announced today he's doubling the tariffs on

218
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: Canada aluminum something else from twenty.

219
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: Five to fifty fifty tariff.

220
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 4: I mean, if that doesnan change your business model, holy cow.

221
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: Well, and that could cause I mean, if it's if

222
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: it's good for the United States, we need to talk

223
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: about why it is, especially because they're a close trading

224
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: partner and Trump signed the trading deal with them. And

225
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: I've heard it characterized as you are stupid to trust us. Oh,

226
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's entirely wrong.

227
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: No, And I mentioned this earlier. I was happy to.

228
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: See you, and I was gonna say, and this could

229
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: this could cause serious, serious economic pain in Canada and

230
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: cause wounds that would take generations to close for not

231
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: clear reasons.

232
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 4: Why do you want your sons and daughters boots on

233
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 4: the ground in Calgary at.

234
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: Some point the big war comes goodness sake? I mentioned

235
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 2: this earlier.

236
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 4: Happy to see the New York Posts say the same

237
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 4: thing because it makes me feel smarter. The Post editorial board,

238
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 4: as Wall Street panics, Trump should share his Main Street

239
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 4: long term vision, come out and give a speech explaining

240
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 4: why this is a good idea and why people should

241
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 4: put up with some maybe semi serious economic pain for

242
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 4: a long time to reshape the world the way Trump

243
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 4: things it needs to be maybe explaining it to people

244
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 4: would be a good idea. Also in the New York Post,

245
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 4: though Charles Gasparino would ignore the stock market Wall Street

246
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 4: dealing with painful detox from government spending addiction and making

247
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 4: the argument that, yeah, well, we kind of got our

248
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 4: whole economy used to a certain amount of government spending

249
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 4: in this and that, and it's going to be hard unwinded,

250
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: so I don't know.

251
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: And global free trade which served corporations and not workers.

252
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, it's going to be a detox from that too.

253
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: I understand that.

254
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm not blind to that, but you've got to do

255
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: the right thing in the right way.

256
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 4: So I don't I've never read much about economics. It's

257
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: not my preferred area of study like some other things are.

258
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 4: But so maybe this is obvious to a lot of people.

259
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 4: But I was reading Scott Linsekm in the Dispatch yesterday

260
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 4: talking about why one of the reasons lefties generally are

261
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 4: the people that really like tariffs to try to reshape

262
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 4: the world the big government crowd is because it always

263
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 4: ends up being a you do favors to certain companies

264
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 4: or certain aspects of the economy and don't include tariffs

265
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 4: for them, it's a better way for the government to

266
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 4: get really involved in the private sector. You announce the tariffs,

267
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 4: and then except for you, except for you, except for

268
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 4: you who donate to our party, blah blah blah, and

269
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: some accusation of that's already happened with Trump and the

270
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 4: car companies.

271
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: I think it has to some extent. And it's also

272
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: got an aspect of it'd be a shame of something

273
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: nasty happened to your sector of the economy.

274
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: Right, Maybe a little support in the next election, Yeah,

275
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: if one if one guy. So far we've only had

276
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: men presidents.

277
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 4: If some guy can immediately say tariffs are back on.

278
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 4: If you come out boldly against something.

279
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna keep your mouth shut.

280
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, Which doesn't mean it's not a good idea

281
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: to cut the government spending and reform trade in some ways,

282
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: so we're not dependent on China in particular. It's just,

283
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's one of those all of these things

284
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: are true at once situations, which makes it harder to

285
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: yell at each other online since.

286
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: There are subtleties here. But what are you gonna do?

287
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 4: Hey, one other complicated thing. They we had some Marco

288
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 4: Ruby's in Saudi Arabia, and they're still trying to renegotiate

289
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 4: or restart the Ukrainian Russia peace talks or were there ever.

290
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: Russia Ukraine peace talks? Have there been?

291
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: Does Russia have any interests going? Does Russia have any

292
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: interest in stopping?

293
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: Not if we're disarming Ukraine and holding back on intelligence.

294
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 4: No, they will keep grinding anyway. I keep saying, I'm

295
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 4: reading this book thirteen days in uh. It's about the

296
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 4: Middle East peace process back in nineteen seventy eight, Egypt Israel, Carter, Began,

297
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 4: Saddad any who. It's amazing behind the scenes stuff on

298
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 4: these sorts of deals. How much of it comes down

299
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 4: to individual personalities in their quirks. You can talk about

300
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: all kinds of giant tectonic plates and pieces and this

301
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 4: and that, but a lot of it is just Carter

302
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 4: trying to schmooth Saddad and then go over to Began's

303
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: little hut there at Camp David, and Began's mad about

304
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: something that happened thirty years ago.

305
00:15:59,520 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: And just.

306
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 4: There's a lot of that that you don't understand behind

307
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 4: the scenes. You don't understand as you're watching it unfold.

308
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: You don't find out for decades later that that was

309
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 4: the hold up.

310
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think we need an exception of the

311
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: First Amendment to outlaw titles like thirteen days because it's

312
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be intriguing. But to me, it's just I

313
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: have no idea what the books about. It might be

314
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: about the Green Bay Packers getting ready for Super Bowl

315
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: number one. It might have been about the last two

316
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: weeks of filming apocalypse now, I mean.

317
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: It could be leading up to someone's wedding, right right indeed.

318
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's got to be Carter's efforts to bring

319
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: Bagan and Sitat together in nineteen seventy six.

320
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: That needs to be the title.

321
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 4: So Dots, one of his main advisors, was a complete

322
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 4: crazy person, I mean completely freaking fruit loops and nuts

323
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 4: and couldn't.

324
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: Help and trying to figure out how to deal with that.

325
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 4: He claimed he could stop his heart beat with his

326
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 4: mind at one of the big at one of the

327
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 4: big get togethers where they're trying to talk about peace,

328
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 4: I can stop my herbie.

329
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeh, I've been able to do it for years. Like,

330
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: how do you deal with somebody like that?

331
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 4: Why are we subsidizing fast food junk food that more

332
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 4: to come, stay.

333
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 6: With us, are strong and any research suggest that men

334
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 6: with stronger sperm may live longer than men with weaker sperm.

335
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 6: So you know what that means, Dick Van Dyke buss rackets?

336
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what with the what that's the worst

337
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 2: term out?

338
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: Oh, Michael, we gotta we gotta approve these jokes before

339
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: they write the air.

340
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 2: Michael, I'm sorry about that. Wow, that is highly unfortunate.

341
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: Oh why are we subsidizing junk food and ruining people's

342
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: health at taxpayer expense?

343
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 2: Coming up in a moment or.

344
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: Two quickly, though, I would like to know from everybody,

345
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: and don't worry what I think the question is cosmic

346
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: significance or coincidence. Very brief story. Jack knows this story.

347
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: I texted him yesterday. Heard a song I haven't heard

348
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: a long time. Loved it back in the day, love

349
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: it even more now, listen to it twenty five times

350
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,239
Speaker 1: working on a cover version. I mean, I've fallen in

351
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: love with this song like I'm a teenager. So I

352
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: start to think, you know, I was aware of this band,

353
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to tell you who because it's

354
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: a distraction.

355
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. But I thought you know, I was

356
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 4: aware of them, but I wasn't exactly into a show.

357
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 2: It's Harry Styles.

358
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: It is Harry Styles, and I'm now wearing a skirt

359
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: as we speak.

360
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: But no. And so I thought I should listen to

361
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 2: some of their other music and dig into it. And

362
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: I didn't. I thought, oh my god, I love this.

363
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: This is great.

364
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: It's like I'm discovering a new band, except they're an

365
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: old band and just you know, really fun, accessible but

366
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 1: weird songs in a way, and the tune and full

367
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And so I started to think, because

368
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: I do this occasionally, I will reach out to people

369
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: whose careers have waned or are over, and I'll find

370
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: him online or whatever, and I'll just say, hey, I

371
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: want you to know I've discovered your music and sorry

372
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: I wasn't there originally, but people are still discovering it

373
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: and loving it, and you did some great work and

374
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: best wishes. And I thought that I should do it

375
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: to the guy who was essentially the entire band.

376
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: He wrote the songs, he was the band.

377
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: And I just clicked around online and found out he

378
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: had died precisely a year ago yesterday, at age sixty

379
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: six from a stroke, and I was I'd spent the

380
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: day full of admiration for the guy in wanting to

381
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: reach out to him before I figure that out. Coincidence

382
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: or cosmic significance, something to do with the universe and

383
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: life after death, or he's a psychic power, his musician

384
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: ghost spirit thing is out there floating around. Was aware

385
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: that Hey, somebody's really digging my music or would dig

386
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: my music, or I'm gonna I'm going to reignite his

387
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: muse to pursue his music or something like that. Or

388
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,239
Speaker 1: is it just you know, there's only three hundred and

389
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: sixty five days in the year, or it's a one

390
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: in three sixty five and he passed last year.

391
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

392
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: I had a feeling, Katie that you would you would

393
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: crush my joy.

394
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: Mike, I think, oh, that's right. I wasn't going to

395
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: rejudic itse the argument, what, Michael, coincidence? I think, yeah, yeah,

396
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 2: it's weird. Though it isn't weird. That's very strange.

397
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: I decide I'm going to reach out to a guy

398
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: who I haven't thought about really ever, died a year

399
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: ago today.

400
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 2: Wow coincidence? Yeah? Yeah, okay, all right, fair enough, Well,

401
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: I see, I got one of those. Here come the

402
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: angry emails. I got one of those, sort of similar.

403
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 4: I bought this mandolin many many years ago that I

404
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 4: really liked, and like, I started doing some research into

405
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 4: the dude who made it and everything like that. Oh cool,

406
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 4: he was killed by a drunk driver the day I

407
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 4: quit drinking. Oh well, I thought that's gotta be something.

408
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: Doesn't it. And now you cherish the instrument.

409
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, also a coincidence.

410
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 2: Yes, clearly mine was weird and cosmic? Heurious is I

411
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: don't know? Okay, your thoughts.

412
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,239
Speaker 1: Mail bag and armstrong in getty dot com or if

413
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: you'd prefer to text four one five nine five KFTC.

414
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 4: Well, it's kind of interesting because I absolutely one one

415
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 4: hundred percent a believer that there's something beyond our lives,

416
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 4: Like one hundred percent. I'm gonna be so disappointed if

417
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 4: I'm wrong, which is kind.

418
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 2: Of a funny phrase paradox.

419
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm one hundred percent, Like I don't have

420
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 4: any doubt whatsoever that there is something else. I don't

421
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 4: know what it is, but there's something else, And I

422
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 4: don't know why I don't have any doubt. But if

423
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 4: I do believe that. Then then why not there's something

424
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 4: you know, try to get in touch with us or

425
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 4: influences now, and why not?

426
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 2: But why would that Whatever that connection was, And as

427
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: a musician and.

428
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: Somebody obsessed with music, it was more powerful than oh

429
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: that's a nice tune because I was really appreciated. I

430
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 1: read all about the guy's careers and the ups and

431
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: downs and his health problems and stuff like that. That's

432
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: how I had to reach out to this guy. It

433
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: was like a human, you know, compassion connection thing. But

434
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: to assume that it's something cosmic would be also to

435
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: assume that like that sort of thing observes the Julian

436
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: calendar or you know, or like is big on anniversaries

437
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: like on March ninth, the cosmos didn't give a crap

438
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: whether I connected with this.

439
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 2: Guy nor today on the eleventh.

440
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 4: So I have no problem with attaching significance to these

441
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 4: sorts of things. At the same time, it is true

442
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 4: that like people overreact to running into somebody who's got

443
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 4: the same birthday as them. Yes, when just mathematically, if

444
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 4: you're in a room full of three, six and fifty people,

445
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 4: there are.

446
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: A lot of people in.

447
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 4: There with the same birthday as you just statistically right

448
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 4: and it shouldn't be that shocking.

449
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and you know, one final note and then

450
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: we can move on. Is that human beings. It's an adaptation.

451
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: We try to find patterns. Og crouched at the edge

452
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: of the pond and an alligator ate him. Oog crunch

453
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: crouched at the edge of the pond, and an alligator

454
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: ate him. I am starting to think crouching by the

455
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: edge of the pond is a bad idea. That's we

456
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: do that. Our brains are made to work with that

457
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: work like that. The problem is that explains all of superstition.

458
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: Every time, you know, somebody fails to to throw salt

459
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: in the air and chant to ooga booga, we have

460
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: a bad crop because people are looking for patterns.

461
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 4: Anyway, the name of this podcast hands and Joe doesn't

462
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 4: believe in God.

463
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: And or Joe is really high and wants to talk

464
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: about cosmic crap. Either way, your choice. I'm not, but

465
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,239
Speaker 1: so I thought this was so interesting. This is a

466
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: classic example of the government reality that you wonder how

467
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: the hell did this get going? And let's see John

468
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: Fund wrote this for what it's worth. A good policy

469
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: idea can languish for years, even decades, before it's suddenly

470
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: pushed forward with the right timing proposal to and federal

471
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: subsidies of unhealthy junk food is an idea whose time

472
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: has come. The most frequently purchased item by the forty

473
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: one a million Americans who benefit from the SNAP programs,

474
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: that's food stamps, essentially, the most frequently purchased item is

475
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: so depop Wow, end it today?

476
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 2: Sugary? Freaking end it today? God dang it.

477
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 4: So the endless ads about kids going hungry, how can

478
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 4: they learn when they're hungry? The number one purchase thing

479
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 4: is freaking pop well, And the obesity problem is especially

480
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 4: among the poor and food deserts, and the reason is

481
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 4: because they don't have grocery stores. You're you're using your

482
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 4: Snap money on pop primarily because you got plenty of food.

483
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: That's why you do that. And if you're starving, you

484
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 2: would be using on pop.

485
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: Almost a quarter of food stamp dollars are used to

486
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: buy foods such as sweetened beverages, candy, desserts, and salty

487
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: snacks okay, tater chips, et cetera. Not surprisingly, the adults

488
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: who are on Snap have a higher obesity rate than

489
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: those with similar incomes who are not. A stunning forty

490
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: two percent of American adults are obese, and much of

491
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: our gargantuan government spending aimed at battling diabetes, heart disease,

492
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: and chronic conditions is driven by the fact and we're

493
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: subsidizing the foods that do Did you.

494
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 4: Already say this, The snap is in the Department of Agriculture.

495
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: Uh? No, is it? I don't actually know that at all.

496
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: Better, Well, let's see two Cabinet secretaries r of k

497
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: Junior at the Department of Health and Human Services and

498
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: Brook Rollins at the Agriculture Department appear to be targeting

499
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: junk food. Yeah, I'm sure it is under the Agriculture Department.

500
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 4: Our most socialized portion of our government, and totally under

501
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 4: the radar. Nobody talks about her, nobody votes on it. Yeah, wow,

502
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 4: that's interesting.

503
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: Let's see Rollins, who's the agriculture guy. Girl whoops Brook

504
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: to what from lady driving the tractor of the government.

505
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 2: She's from small town, Wisconsin or something like that.

506
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: And and that was at Joe Clady's us whether wonders

507
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: whether we should quote be using tax dollars to feed

508
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: really bad food and sugary drinks to children who perhaps

509
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: need something more nutritious.

510
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

511
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: Jay Batticharia Stanford, one of the heroes of covid enslavement

512
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: resistance and about to be the head of the National

513
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: Institute's Health, was lead author of a paper that estimated

514
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: that cutting out sugary drinks from the food stamp program

515
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: would save one hundred and forty one thousand kids from

516
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: obesity and two hundred and eighty one thousand adults from

517
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: type two diabetes. I don't know what the timetable involved

518
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: there was, but Jay is a straight shooter, and I

519
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: admire the hell out of them.

520
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 4: The high cost of good intentions, that is something and

521
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 4: just the whole thing. The most worn out phrase from

522
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 4: people who talk about politics and government is if the

523
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 4: Founding Fathers were alive today. But seriously, I'd like to

524
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 4: have the Founding Fathers alive and on different sides of

525
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 4: the isle there, you know, Adam Z and Jefferson and whatever,

526
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 4: and tell them all the things the government is into.

527
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: And see how they react.

528
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 4: They'd have to be no, no, no, no, that'll never work,

529
00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 4: that'll never last.

530
00:27:59,160 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: You can't do the again.

531
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 4: We have the government involved in every aspect of your

532
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 4: life like this, and redistributing wealth like this, and deciding

533
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 4: who eats what.

534
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: And George Washington would slap you with the broad side

535
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: of his sword if you're lucky, or.

536
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 2: Maybe he'll reach out to you in your dreams. Ooga booga, booga. Wow.

537
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: I believe that was mockery.

538
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: So such estimates explain why at least ten states are

539
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: moving to ask Secretary Rawlins to let them end to

540
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: federal subsidies of unhealthy foods. You get the argument from

541
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: the left of oh my god, you're gonna micromanage what

542
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: people eat just because they're poor. It's insulting and humiliating

543
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: to the poor and making them jump through hoops and

544
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: blah blah blah.

545
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: Now, I don't even think it will be that. If

546
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: you're just cutting back on the food program from hungry children,

547
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: what could be more evil than that? Leaving out the

548
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: fact that the number one purchase thing is pop This.

549
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: Reminds me of the infamous example not too long ago

550
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: where the government was spending whatever it was, ten million

551
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: dollars to promoe people eating more cheese and simultaneously spending

552
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: ten million dollars to discourage people from eating cheese. This

553
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: is the same sort of thing, but with much higher

554
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: human consequence. We're subsidizing the foods that make them obese

555
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: and then desperately spend money to help them with their obesity.

556
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 4: Hey, we had an interesting Joe brought us some interesting

557
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 4: stuff about the legal pot business. Earlier, we got a

558
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 4: text from somebody who was in the legal pop business.

559
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 4: It's really interesting, that kind of counterintuitive. I think, similar

560
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 4: to the Snap program, mostly making sure poor people can

561
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 4: get fat drinking pop.

562
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: What.

563
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: We got a lot on the way. We'll finished strong.

564
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: Stay here.

565
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 4: I've got a couple of things jam in here at

566
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 4: the end. If I just come across all of them,

567
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 4: I find verdi are interesting. I just came across this

568
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: idea of getting a bathroom divorce. A bathroom divorce is

569
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 4: seems like a pretty good idea if you can ford

570
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 4: it depending on your lifestyle needs or whatever.

571
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: I mean, if you got multiple bathrooms.

572
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 4: Obviously, it's the idea of this is your bathroom, this

573
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 4: is my bathroom, and we don't use each other's bathrooms.

574
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 4: And there's just this article about how that's made some

575
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 4: married couples much happier.

576
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 2: The bathroom divorce.

577
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 4: What's the main bone of contention, man, Well, I think

578
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 4: it's fairly obvious that in generally speaking, men are not

579
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 4: as tidy as women. And one of the wife would

580
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,479
Speaker 4: like the bathroom to be cleaner, and the dude might

581
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 4: look like, I'm not cleaning this up because I care

582
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 4: about it.

583
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: I'm cleaning, but because I want to make sure she's happy.

584
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 4: If you have your own bathroom and just do your

585
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 4: own thing, I don't know, try the bathroom.

586
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 2: Divorce if you're having problems with that.

587
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 4: I mostly grew up in one bathroom homes, so everybody

588
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 4: just had to figure it out, I mentioned earlier in

589
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 4: the show. Then I was considering buying a cyberbeast, which

590
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 4: is the cyber truck that has three motors in it

591
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 4: so it's extra fast and you can drive over a

592
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 4: you know, priuses or whatever, and if you so choose,

593
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 4: because it's I was looking at this story. So Tesla

594
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 4: dealership in San Diego charging stations ELI is Elon is

595
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 4: Nazi scum.

596
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: They spray painted all over it.

597
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 4: Damages to Tesla dealerships and charging stations skyrocketing all around

598
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 4: the world, not just the United States. Why is the

599
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 4: rest of the globe taking on Tesla like that because

600
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 4: some of the things Elon's saying about Ukraine and Russia.

601
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: Don't know. I don't know either, but case by case,

602
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: who knows.

603
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 4: I was talking about getting a cyberbeast with a personalized

604
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 4: plate that says doge on it because it's becoming such

605
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 4: a statement.

606
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: I guess for a certain crowd.

607
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: I don't know how many people attach politics to their

608
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 4: cars like this, but this might actually become a thing,

609
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 4: like a significant thing with one of the most valuable

610
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 4: companies in the world. It's one of the what do

611
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 4: they call the seven Dwarves or the seven giants or

612
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 4: whatever that dominate the stock market over the last several years, Google, Apple, Facebook, right,

613
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 4: you know all them videos and Tesla is one of them.

614
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 4: And currently I was just looking at the market cap

615
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 4: as of today, Tesla is worth more than Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Honda, Ford,

616
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 4: and Chevy added together.

617
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: No, yes, it's so in say it'll be a thing,

618
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: you mean, attacks on Tesla and Tesla dealers and that

619
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: sort of thing.

620
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna really affect the sales.

621
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I it.

622
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 4: Was it was mostly a carp mostly purchased by lefties.

623
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to buy him anymore. At

624
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 4: some point. It's just anti Trump hatret.

625
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: This whatever it is. The stock's down fifty percent since December.

626
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is going to turn around.

627
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: Its final thought?

628
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 8: How bys so well your comments and tinas yess closure

00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 4: Costco that day.

638
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 2: It turns out he had to go to Costco as well.

639
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: Coincidence or universe.

640
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:52,560

Speaker 2: Excellent.

647
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 4: Jack a final thought for us, continuing my thought with

648
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 4: the old Tesla, saying, I don't know if normal past

649
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 4: economic ways of looking at stocks. You know, what's their

650
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 4: profit and expense and blah blah blah, like you'd have

651
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 4: done General Motors fifty years ago. Because now Republicans might

652
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 4: rush in and buy Tesla stock for their virtue signal

653
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 4: and keep it up or something.

654
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 2: In a way that I don't know. These are odd times.

655
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've noticed.

656
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: My final thought is, man, you go online. The propagandists

657
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: and disinformationers are as skilled as the people tell them

658
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: the truth. On some topics, it's nearly impossible to figure

659
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: out what's what way.

660
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 4: Which will lead to a lot of people checking out,

661
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 4: which is not good for the evil doers we will

662
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 4: see tomorrow.

663
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: God bless America. I'm strong and getty. So what's different

664
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 2: with you? Well, I would say this a mattoi. You

665
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 2: appends I'm not going to jump in. You made it right,

666
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 2: moders riding a long time?

667
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 6: Yep, absolutely, So let's go with the bingle.

668
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 2: He's a bit limp of wrist and delicate of panty

669
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 2: and feathery of hair. Does that make him a bad leader?

670
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 2: So he's a soy somewhat lace of undergarments. It's all

671
