WEBVTT - Human Beings Suck! 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:06.240 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.800 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe. 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:24.400 Getty Armstrong and Gatty and now he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.760 If anyone builds It, Everyone Dies is a book that 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.720 I really been into during the break about AI, and 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.000 I want to talk about that later because I think 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.000 that is absolutely true. 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:37.400 Says that title again. 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:39.960 Surely making a lot of noise in the AI world. 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.800 If anyone builds It, Everyone Dies by one of the 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:47.320 leading proponents of AI for the last several decades who 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.800 has changed his mind and decided this is not good 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.440 and wants to try to get government policies put in 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.360 place to stop an him from run from building super intelligence. 0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.880 But we'll talk more about that later. And if that 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.960 doesn't give you nightmares, maybe this will. They reconnected with 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:08.120 family through twenty three and meters and got sued stay 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:12.600 with us. Oh my god, I'm trying to imagine what 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.480 would be the situation here. Okay, I can look forward 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:16.160 to hearing this story. 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:26.160 Oh boy, Human Beings Suck, Welcome back from vacation ready 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:30.200 for the Christmas season. Armstrong and a Human Beings Suck. 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:32.479 Tell you what as a general rule. 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:33.000 That's true. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.800 If you can find something, don't I suggest you surround 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:37.640 yourself with them and live a happy life. 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:42.959 Well, we're sort of designed to suck and then culturally 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:47.160 you have to push the suckiness out of us. That's 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.840 kind of the conservative principle, right, uh yeah. 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.440 Yeah, but yeah, yeah, indeed, well stated, I happen to 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.880 come across a really really interesting read about a different 0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.360 sort of feminism. 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.520 It's more than that, but it. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:08.120 Talks about how we are not units as human beings. 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:14.040 We are we are our connections, and it makes an 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.640 argument for a much more traditional view of womanhood. But 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.920 it's just it's an intriguing thought that we it's you 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:25.239 don't self actualize through you know, your Thomas Paine like 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:30.240 fierce independent individualism entirely. But anyway, more to come on that, 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:35.320 it's a it's a definitely a uh a chin rubbing sinkathon. 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:43.480 A chin rubbing thinkthon. That's a fantastic phrase. So this 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.680 is a horrifying story. You probably heard about this, even 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.320 if you weren't trying to pay attention to the news. 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:51.840 A couple of Guards National Guards members being shot, one dead, 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.240 one clinging to life by a guy who helped us 0:02:55.280 --> 0:03:01.519 in Afghanistan, then we allowed him into this country and somehow, 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.720 at least according to Secretary of State Christinomi, got radicalized 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:09.600 since then, and sounds like you went pretty damn nuts. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:11.440 AnyWho. 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.400 Among the things that Trump has said in a reaction 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.080 to it is We're going to cut way down on 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.880 immigration to this country. Here's a little bit for meet 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.360 the press, and then a reaction from a US senator 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:24.800 about it. 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:30.680 President Trump is escalating his immigration crackdown, vowing to permanently 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.760 pause migration from what he calls third world countries. 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:39.240 When I heard the Secretary say that they're going to 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:44.440 pause immigration from third world countries, I mean I take 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.800 that as a message that they don't want brown people 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:48.320 coming to the United States. 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:54.920 That's Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona. So one of the 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.480 reasons I wanted to get into that. So even before 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.520 that incident happened, This happened at the very beginning of 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:06.200 Thanksgiving week, didn't get near enough attention, but Marco Rubio 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:12.160 announced that the a US State Department directive declaring mass 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:17.000 migration and existential threat to Western civilization Wow, and gave 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.799 a big speech about it. Didn't get near the attention 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.160 it should have. Now, I don't know if they gave 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.359 that speech. This doesn't make sense, But I was about 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.120 to say, I don't know if they gave that speech, 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.440 like knowing it was Thanksgiving week and it would kind 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.400 of get buried. But why would you even why would 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.120 you want to do that, Why would you want to hide? 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:36.440 You just wouldn't make this feast at all? 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.280 Any who had got a fair amount of attention by 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.840 a lot of world thinkers that you know, because a 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.320 lot of countries are having similar problems. That's why he 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.960 said Western civilization and not the United States. See France, 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:51.440 see Britain, see Germany, see lots of countries. The new 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:55.160 US State Department directive declaring mass migration and an existential 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.680 threat to Western civilization isn't just an American policy ship. 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.839 That's a geopolitical earth quake, and the tremors are heading 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.359 right down Downing Street and other streets of power around 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.760 the world, according to this thinker, Jim Ferguson, who I 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.400 follow sometimes on Twitter. But that's interesting, and I wonder 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.919 what the repercussions are going to be of that, or 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.120 what the policies are going to be going forward. But 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:20.120 I think what Trump said about no more migration from 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:21.520 third world countries. 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.320 Fits in with that, right. 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.480 I think it's refreshing, honestly that somebody's going ahead and 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:30.080 stated the obvious because all of the people in Germany 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.520 know this to be true, all the people in France, 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:33.679 or most of them anyway. 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.400 Great Britain is acutely aware. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.680 Of this, that the mass migration, especially from cultures that 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:44.800 hate the Western values, was suicidal. It was a terrible idea, 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.640 and now Rubio is going ahead and saying it out loud. 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:49.360 I'm glad. I think that's great. 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:54.440 I'm pro, I'm quote unquote pro immigration under certain circumstances. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:55.680 But I mean, think about just. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:03.280 Inviting four random strangers to your Thanksgiving table and then 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:07.159 being shocked when maybe it didn't turn out great. I 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.479 mean totally unvetted. In fact, some of them, you should 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.400 have presumed that they would hate you and. 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.160 Your culture because they've that's where they came. That's a 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.160 pretty good suicit. 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.440 That's a pretty good metaphor analogy sort of thing, because yeah, 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.680 so you invite a couple of people in from who 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.760 knows where, it doesn't matter, and then they sit down 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:25.440 and say what is this? 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:26.240 I don't like turkey? 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.200 And what is that brown stuff? Well, that's stuffing I 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.320 don't ever had that I want? And why are the 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.760 women talking at this table? Or I should shut off? 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:37.280 Even a better example, and how come we haven't you know, 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.760 done this amount of praying before we eat or whatever 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.560 the situation is. You're like, well, that's not our tradition here. Well, 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.680 it's our tradition and we're here now and we're demanding it. 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:46.680 You wouldn't react. 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.400 Positively to that, No, unless you were a soft headed, 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.000 soft hearted, suicidal lefty. 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.200 I get confused about this a lot because some of 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:59.800 my favorite thinkers I won't name one because I don't 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:04.480 want to get into a battle with him, but conservative 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:08.800 talking about people have been and he's very right. Conservative 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.600 people have been claiming that immigration was going to ruin 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.840 this country since you know, the very beginning, and whether 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.040 it was the Irish or people from. 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.800 Italy or whatever it was, blah blah blah blah blah. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:20.480 And it's true. 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:26.320 But you got to admit, don't you, that at some point, 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:31.520 too many people, too fast, from a culture that doesn't 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.600 agree with our values is going to be a problem. 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.520 Don't yet. It seems to me to be denying the 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.200 obvious to claim that we can just absorb any amount 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.000 at any speed and be fine. 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.040 Right what. I have two reactions to that. 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.760 Number One, I think the fact that people have always 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.560 expressed that sort of concern is proof that it is 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.680 an innate human tendency. It's not stupid bigotry. It's a 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:03.360 very very very reasonable instinct that if we let people 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.560 flood into the tribe, not knowing who they are, or 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:10.000 not knowing them they're from a different tribe with different values, 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.640 that's going to weaken the cohesiveness of the tribe. Now, 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.520 it turns out in a country like ours, as people assimilate, 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.680 we could handle immigration and still. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:20.040 Do our thing. 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:24.280 But the fact that people were saying, hey, let's cover 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.360 the break, if not tap it a little bit, that 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.360 doesn't make them wrong. That just makes them part of 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.120 an equilibrium. You hear what I'm saying. I mean you've 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.760 got the gas pedal people, then you got the brakes people. 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:41.600 That makes sense. Second response to that, and you touched 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:48.080 on it is it is so fundamentally different importing Irish 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:53.280 people or Italians who were talking about in previous rounds 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.880 of immigration, massive immigration. They come from countries that are 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:03.040 based in Judeo Christian principles, an English common law or 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:07.040 something close to it, at least in Italy, whereas people 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:11.720 from Africa the Middle East. No, the very fundamentals of 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.439 their understandings of law and culture and religion everything else 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.160 are in some cases diametrically opposed to what we believe 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:23.520 in the West. You cannot compare Irishmen from Somalians. 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:29.160 Sorry, Yeah, since the declaration from the State Department in 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.920 Mario Marco Rubio's speech was declaring mass immigration and an 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:40.280 exis essential threat to Western civilization. You know, so throughout 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.920 history countries that are part of Western civilization came here 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.880 and we were able to absorb it. That's not proof 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:52.400 that countries not from Western civilization. Lots of people we 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:53.040 could absorb. 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.320 Well, And how about we tapped the break until we 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:57.480 see how it's going. 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.240 And the more I think about it, so what are 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.760 you assuming then, and people that are going to come 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.600 here from other countries where they do think completely different 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.000 in terms of the separation of church and state, or 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:12.360 the women's rights or whatever rights just in general, Yeah, 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.600 they're just going to give up everything they've ever believed. 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.560 Just automatically. They just think you know everything I've ever believed, 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.600 what my parents believe, what my grandparents believed. Screw all that, 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.920 I'm just going to adopt your way. It seems a 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:26.080 little unlikely. 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:27.800 To say the least. 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.240 More after a word from our friends at Webroot, holiday 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.360 shopping is here.

That's just playing the game rangeaiting 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:12.240 to get clicks and donations from the diversity crowd. 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:14.200 That's weak. 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.880 It'll be interesting to see how long this ban that 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:24.120 Trump announced lasts, what court challenges will occur, and then 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.839 bigger picture based on what Marco Rubio said, what that 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:28.360 means for other countries. 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:30.760 Hey, we got to get the opening clip from Meet 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.240 the Press where somebody asked him about the vetting of 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:39.760 the Afghan guy and he immediately went to insulting the reporter. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.920 It was a pretty seasoned reporting. Yeah, are you Trump? 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.560 Is? Are you stupid? Or your stupid person? 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.920 They let them in completely ignoring the question, which was 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:51.079 a reasonable one. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.440 Trump is not getting more reason? 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.040 Okay? Any thoughts on any of this? Text Line four? 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.440 Is there an older gentleman out that lives here? 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:05.760 Yes? 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:07.040 He fell down the road? 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:08.480 There he face plateed. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.320 I I was just on my regular route. 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.520 I came across the guy I saw in my rearview mirror. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.320 I saw that involved and did he you turn? 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.600 I got to him as quick as I can, making 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:17.600 sure he was okay. 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.480 Helped us get him into the car. 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.960 Daughter reached out on Facebook so we could somehow thank him, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.520 and we got his name and got to meet him 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.320 and we connected and I said, your family, what are 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.880 you doing for Thanksgiving? Things could have gone so much worse. 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:34.240 Oh that's nice. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:39.640 Mail carrier sees old dad face plant get injured, wheels around, 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.679 aids him, helps get him into the car to the hospital. 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.160 Family invites him to Thanksgiving dinner. 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.840 Did the mail carrier not have his own family or 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:49.120 did he? 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:49.520 Did he? 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:50.959 Did he do a bang bang? Did he do a 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.360 Thanksgiving bang bang? Did his own family then went over 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:53.840 to their house. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.560 Well, if the time is right, yes, you can pull 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:57.559 that off. That'd be great. 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:02.560 Ah. Yeah, do know where that happened, Michael, I don't. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:07.160 Actually those sounded like upper Midwestern accents to me. Good 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:11.240 people there in northern Indiana, southern Michigan. Oh, the best 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.960 people anyway. That's a beautiful family drama, Jack, So is 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:15.800 this until. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.680 It takes a dark turn? Stay tuned till right now. 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.720 When Carmen Thomas was growing up in Boston, her mom 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.840 told her that her absent dad's name was Joe Brown. 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.600 So when she sent us saliva sample to twenty three 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.440 and meter in her twenties and got a match with 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.720 the Brown family, she was excited. Turned out, the man 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.320 she believed to be her father had passed away five 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.120 years earlier, Jack, Which is too bad, but. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.560 Not the dark turn, not yet, Stay tuned. 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:49.160 But she connected with two likely half sisters. They went 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.880 out for a Boba tea, had a sleep over at 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.040 their grandmother's. She looked through family albums and held a 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:59.440 pillow with his photo printed on it. A year later, 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.160 she was it's doing the Brown sisters and their mother. 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:05.880 That's your dark turn? For what? 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:11.560 Thomas wanted a share of a multimillion dollar medical malpractice 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:15.720 award they had won after Joe Brown died of an aneurysm. 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.520 After all, she was his daughter too, she said in 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.280 a court complaint early last year. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:29.200 Well, biologically, but that not anymore, right, you're not legally 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:30.360 the daughter of that person. 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:32.400 Oh yeah, one hundred percent you are. 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:37.000 In many states, genetics determine who can claim, make you 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.680 claim on inheritances in the absence of a will or trust. 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.000 Wow, so you can. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.840 You can inherit from your biological father, even if you 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.280 never knew of them, knew their name, They didn't. They 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.440 may not have known you. Your mom was even pregnant 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:53.480 with me. Wait, that's that. 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.040 I don't know what I think about that, because I 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.760 know something about the law around certain things around parenting. 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.320 For instance, in California, you are not required to parent. 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.000 It isn't You don't have to if you don't want 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:07.240 to be a parent. You don't have to be a 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:08.880 parent just because you had a kid. But then the 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.880 law would be But if you are rich, the kid 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.000 gets the money. 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.240 Wow, that's worth pointing out. So they're sitting is the 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:17.880 important part, not the biology? 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:19.920 Oh yeah, absolutely, true. 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.040 Yeah, and I'm not at all shocked that cal Unicornia 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.480 has such a bizarre law. Other states consider factors such 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.760 as if there was a relationship with the deceased. Yeah, 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:33.320 there should have to be some sort of relationship. By 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.760 the way, going back to this gold digging woman and 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.400 the Brown family, as it turns out, she fouled her 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.440 suit too long after the guy died, so there was 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:44.400 a settlement that was very favorable for the Brown family. 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.200 I know somebody personally who did that whole thing. Found 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.840 out they had a sister and now are in touch 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:53.120 with them, like well into their forties and they hang 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.000 out right, And it turned out the sister lived in 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.640 the same town, so they get together. And Yeah, there 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.720 are a lot of beautiful stories can to this sort 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.760 of stuff too, even if there is a will or trust, 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.280 though common phrases such as to my descendants or to 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.480 my children can open the door for a surprise relative 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:13.119 to make a claim. Affairs have been going on forever, 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.640 but now they're getting discovered, said an estate planning lawyer 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.040 in DC with the experience in this sort of thing. Wow, 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.240 here's a story in Utah brother and sister fighting over 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.520 their late father's estate when the brother reached out to 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.119 a man he thought might be their half brother. 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:28.840 Their DNA match hooray. 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.560 The man's mother apparently had an affair with dad when 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.080 she worked for him, but the old man didn't have 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.160 a will, and the man argued his claim in part 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.119 by noting that the dad had sent him birthday cards 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.199 with one hundred dollars for years, and the Utah Supreme 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.080 Court ruled the man was entitled to a third. 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:44.399 Of the estate. 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.199 Hmmm, see that one. I feel like you're sending a 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:48.320 birthday card every year. 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:49.440 Yeah, you are. 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.239 You're a little closer to being dad there. Yeah than 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:57.200 the not check your local listing with the laws man. 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:58.760 That makes it very, very complicated. 0:17:58.840 --> 0:17:59.640 We get a lot on the wafe. 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.720 He missed segment of the podcast Armstrong and Getty on 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.240 demand Armstrong and Geddy. 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:10.280 High Stakes Talks in Florida, the Trump administration's top negotiators 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:14.000 meeting with the Ukrainian delegation to discuss the peace plan 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.080 being pushed by the presidents. For While both sides calling 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.919 the talks positive, crucial sticking points remain. 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:21.680 The Russians are not willing to. 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.480 Agree to a sea spar in any form, while Ukraine 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:26.480 is unwilling to conceive territory. 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:30.200 Well, that seems like a problem in terms of coming 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.159 together on a peace deal. Let's hear the rest of 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:35.880 Ian Pannell's report on CBS News and then we'll discuss. 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:37.199 The battle raging on. 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:41.680 Russia launching more devastating drone and missile attacks against Ukraine 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:45.200 this weekend and these four killed and dozens wounded in Key, 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:51.359 but Ukraine fighting back. Ukraine's intelligence service releasing dramatic video 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.480 showing sea drones hitting two Russian tankers of Turkey's coast, 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.320 suspected of smuggling sanctioned Russian oil. 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.440 Yeah, they are trying to sneak so oil in because 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.920 you know the world has tried to stop Russia from 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:09.320 being able to benefit from any oil production. And a 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:13.080 couple of tankers got blown up by Ukraine probably. Meanwhile, 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.720 Russia continues to bomb Ukraine. This is in the midst 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:19.400 of the peace talks, which Mark Hawprin says the closest 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.160 we've come yet. I didn't follow this over the last week. 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.159 I didn't follow anything closely over the last week, but 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:28.320 when we went on vacation it was announced by Trump 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.520 Ukraine needs to say yes to this or we're going 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:34.280 to cut off all support. Then Marco Rubio came out, 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:35.960 I know, a couple of days later. I saw the 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.960 headline and said, hey, that was not our peace plan. 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.560 The Russians leaked that out, which I thought was confusing 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:46.040 because then why did Trump say you got to agree 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:46.320 to it? 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:51.480 Or I think like the first term, there's a fair 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.639 amount of Trump shoots off his mouth, and then his 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:58.280 cabinet his people have to, you know, clean up the mess. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.919 Anyway, so they came up with a slightly different piece plan, 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:08.280 which all depends on whether or not Putin has any 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.480 interest in quitting, and nobody knows that or not. I 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:17.520 don't exactly understand why he would outside of such I would. 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.680 Be surprised if he would. If he does. 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.639 Seems like it seems like you need some sort of 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.920 threat from the United States and or Europe that we're 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.280 going to really support Ukraine if you don't agree to 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:29.920 this one, and you're going to be in a heck 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.760 of a battle. But that is not what's happening. So anyway, 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.200 we'll follow that over the next couple of days. Some 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:38.960 people on the text line unhappy with me for not 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:43.320 getting more credit or not being more optimistic about the 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.760 Trump economy based on the numbers that came out on Friday, 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:50.760 because they were way up, like nine percent over the 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:54.600 year before for Black Friday spending, And I went on 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.240 about how I don't know, some people spend their money 0:20:57.240 --> 0:20:59.280 at the beginning of the holiday season. Sometimes they spend 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:00.880 it to the end. It's kind of hard to predict 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:05.040 where you end up, which is true. But I wasn't 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:10.000 trying to downplay the Trump economy. Once again, quoting Mark 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.159 Alpern never Farmed his newsletter today, he said this was 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.160 the this is the most confusing economy he's ever seen. 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:19.560 I would agree if if it ends up, if the 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:23.359 Christmas season ends up being up nearly double digits like 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:26.880 it was on Black Friday, What the hell, everybody, Why 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:30.560
