1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: and Jettie and now he Armstrong and Jetty.

4
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think they're going to perspect too much.

5
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: So we have to have it. They have to have

6
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: this done.

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: They can't protect the Denmark. They're wonderful people, and I

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: know the leaders are very good people, but they don't

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 2: even go there. And you know, because the boat went

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: there five hundred years ago and then left, that doesn't

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: give you.

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: Titled the property.

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: So we'll be talking about it with the various people.

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: So that is an interesting angle that Trump's going with

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: because they a boat showed up there five hundred years ago,

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: they alway to get to keep it forever again on

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 3: that's crazy. And then basically just continuing to state that

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: people are gonna come around to his thinking just.

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 1: Because I guess.

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 3: And we talked earlier about the uh the back and

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: forth with the leader.

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: Of Norway.

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: When the leader of Norway and the leader of Finland

24
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: got together and wanted to do a three way phone

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: call and try to de escalate and calm things down,

26
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: and Trump responded with, well, you didn't give me the

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 3: Nobel Prize, so I no longer care about peace, to

28
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: which the response was, I don't control the Nobel Prize.

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: It's like a private commission. I mean they're from our country,

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: the Nobel Committee in Oslo, but I don't have any

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: and Trump said, that's not true. You control it. You

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: could have done it. You could, you could have made

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 3: the decision.

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's going on there.

35
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: This is gonna be a heck of a week. All

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: the world leaders are in Davos given speeches. McCrone just

37
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,639
Speaker 3: gave a speech about might not making right, except Macron

38
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: was wearing sunglasses while he gave the speech, like I'm

39
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: a cool guy sunglasses with his extra longside burns, and

40
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: it was hard.

41
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: To take him seriously.

42
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on in the world anymore.

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: He's in a Steve McQueen face. Let him go through it.

44
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: He's got to live it. I don't know what's going on.

45
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: Kevin Williamson, who is I think with the the the

46
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: Dispatch these days, terrific conservative, really smart guy. I don't

47
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: always agree with him, blah blah blah, but anyway, he

48
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: was saying that the Trump exhaustion is a strategy. He

49
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: floods the field, confuses people, exhausts them, makes them uncomfortable,

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: freaks them out with you didn't give me the Nobell,

51
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: So I'm stealing Greenland. I mean, everybody's like, wait, what

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: Kevin is saying? That's his strategy? And people get so

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: exhausted and confused, they're like, all right, all right, what

54
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: do we have to do to end this? What sort

55
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: of deal can we live with?

56
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: Well, so we got into the conversation last week. I

57
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: thought I had misunderstood something. Now I'm not so sure

58
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: that I misunderstood it. So the Danes said they were

59
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 3: sending troops to Greenland. Macrone said he was sending French

60
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: troops to Greenland. Now, when I first heard that, I thought, wow,

61
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 3: they're sending troops saying, hey, if the United States, if

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 3: Trump lands marines on Greenland, we're going to fight him.

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: Then on Friday, I thought.

64
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: I had become informed that no, no, no, no, they're

65
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: showing that we can protect Greenland against the Russians, and

66
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: the Chinese were admitted, we're committed to it. But then

67
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: I heard another report over the weekend suggesting that no, no, no, no.

68
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: They're sending the troops in case they have to fight

69
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: the US Marines. So I don't I don't know what

70
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 3: it's going on.

71
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: I think that last thing was the way Trump took it,

72
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: that it was intended originally because they said, so as

73
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: look we can protect it Greenland, We'll protect it. Fine.

74
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: Well, the problem is when they say we can protect Greenland,

75
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: you don't know if they mean from the Chinese or

76
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: the United States. And so some of us like me,

77
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: jumped to the conclusion that they met the United States.

78
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: But you're saying they met you and Trump. You think

79
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: they meant China and Russia.

80
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, like I said, they said, so NATO can

81
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: protect Greenland. It's fine. Look we'll go have a military exercise.

82
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: It's fine. The status quo is fine. Not from the

83
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: US from China. Nobody talks about protecting one NATO country

84
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: from another NATO country.

85
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 3: You and Trump. No, Fox is talking about it, NPR

86
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: is talking about it. Lots of people are talking about it.

87
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: They're maniacs too.

88
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: They might be wrong, but I'm not that I didn't

89
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: make maniacs is growing. I didn't make this up. There's

90
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: lots of people that interpreted it that way, so I

91
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: I yours. Yours makes more sense, and I hope it's right.

92
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: Here's what the Wall Street Journal is say. You know what,

93
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: it's a measure of the times we're in. There's ambiguity there,

94
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: which was my point in my my faux rant. I

95
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: mean what Wait a second, uh oh, Frances ordered anti

96
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 3: aircraft systems. I wonder if they're going to use them

97
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: against Germany. Wait a minute, who asked that?

98
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: Why are you asking that?

99
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: The fact that there could be any confusion, that it

100
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: has to be spelled out is a sign of the times.

101
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: This from the Wall Street Journal on the whole thing.

102
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: Senior administration officials have tried to reassure European allies that

103
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: there are currently no military plans to take over Greenland. Again,

104
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: just what we're saying. If senior administration officials have to

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: contact their counterparts in France and Germany and England to

106
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 3: shure them, look, we're not actually going to invade green.

107
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: How crazy is that? That? That's where we.

108
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: Are very crazy that they have to contact them and

109
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: reassure them, and that European leaders are working the phone

110
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 3: with Trump and his inner circle in a bid to

111
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: de escalate. One top diplomat said that, unlike in Trump's

112
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: first term, Europeans are taking his threats seriously. Now anyway,

113
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 3: that's in the Wall Street Journal, that European leaders are

114
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: taking it seriously, that Trump's talking about militarily taking agreement.

115
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: Maduro called Macrone said, trust me, take it seriously.

116
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: If Macron's going to show up in sunglasses like that,

117
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: I say we snatch him up, put him on a plane,

118
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: put him in the cool hoodie that everybody likes, and

119
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: send him to Gitmo.

120
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: You know who loves that plan? Missus mccron.

121
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: Well, I almost made a joke about his wife being

122
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: a dude. But if I say that, I get sued. No,

123
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 3: you can touch on it. I would touch on it

124
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: and move on.

125
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: She Maybe I wouldn't. I wouldn't dwell on it. So

126
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: Scott Besson's who is often the what he really meant

127
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: interpreter in sixty four, play that, Michael. Then we'll move

128
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: one back. They relax.

129
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 4: I am confident that the leaders will not escalate and

130
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 4: that this will work out in a manner that ends

131
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 4: up in a very good place for all, for national security,

132
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 4: for the US and for Europe.

133
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: So is that sort of grown up language gonna be

134
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 3: the speeches we hear this week, or is Trump gonna

135
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: go full on Greenland's hours The boats landed five hundred

136
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 3: years ago. They don't get to keep it. And if

137
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: you want to fight the Marines, knock yourself.

138
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: Out that one. That's the one that Trump's gonna be.

139
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: That's right. And Bessent, by the way, reminds me a

140
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: little bit, not coincidentally, of a proctologist with the you're

141
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: gonna feel little pressure, just relax, this will end up

142
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: in a good place for all of us. They relax. Yeah,

143
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: h is right. So they're in Davos amidst all the chaos.

144
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: You remember, Positive Sean taught us this from the Game

145
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: of Thrones with the dragons and the swords and everything

146
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: and the magicians and various stuff, that chaos is a ladder.

147
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: There are actors, and I think Donald j is one

148
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: of them who views chaos as an opportunity. Gavin Newsom

149
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: is another one. The tussle the aired reptile who runs

150
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: California into the ground currently is trying to shine up

151
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: his reputation as a statesman, and indeed has seized on

152
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: the idea that taking on Trump is the way to

153
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: really really raise his profile. Doubling down on that strategy,

154
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: Michael will start with sixty five Europeids think this is diplomacy,

155
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: and this will alter.

156
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 5: This diplomacy with Donald Trump. He's a t Rex. You

157
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: mate with him or he devours you, and one or

158
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 5: the other can You'll need to standon No, the Europeans

159
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 5: could be if they continue to put down this path,

160
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 5: then process. They need to stand tall, stand firm, stand united.

161
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 3: Well, you just said you got the option of mate

162
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: with them or get devoured. I figure you might as

163
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: well take the mate. I'd take the mating over the

164
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 3: being devoured.

165
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: Wow, that is that does not speak of consent to me.

166
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: That sounds more like ray Pine.

167
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 3: I know you got more gabon, but I wanted to

168
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: get this in. This is the only place I've seen.

169
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: Then You're post had this over the weekend about Greenland

170
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: because you've seen all the polling shows the people of

171
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 3: Greenland absolutely do not want to be controlled by the

172
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 3: United States. Well, the New York Post had some different interviews.

173
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 3: Green Litters speak out against Danish rule after decades of

174
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 3: forced sterilization, poor living conditions. They stole our future The

175
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: Danes don't see us as human, this person told the Post.

176
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 3: They think we're too expensive, too small a population. But

177
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 3: they take our land, our children, our lives and expect thanks.

178
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: So not everybody's happy with the Danish rule.

179
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: That's why you come on to them with a little

180
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: sweet talk, and you don't slap them around like Trump

181
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: is doing. He's like a t rex anyway, Morgavin Newsom, it's.

182
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 5: Time to buck up, thanks, time to get serious and

183
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 5: stop being complicit. It's time to stand tall and firm

184
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 5: and have a backbone.

185
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: You know, either that tape is slowed down or he's

186
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: got a little jet lag or something. His voice is

187
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: lowered a couple of you know, love and he sounds better.

188
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: He doesn't have that, you know, that's that horse raspiness

189
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: to him as much. One more.

190
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 5: I just I can't take this complicity people rolling over.

191
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 5: I should have brought up a bunch of knee pads

192
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 5: for all the world leaders. I mean handing out crowns

193
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 5: and handing out I mean, this is pathetic. The Nobel

194
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 5: prizes they are being given away. I mean it's just pathetic.

195
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 5: And I help people understand how pathetic they look on

196
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 5: the world stage. I mean, at least from an American perspective.

197
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: Did he do a b J joke with all the

198
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: more leaders. Yes, indeed, yes, that's where he was heading. Wow,

199
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: so there all the time he laughed, I laughed. Henry

200
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: Kissinger never said perhaps they should have pads on their knees.

201
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: We didn't talk like this back in the day. The

202
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: mayor of I'm sorry, the governor of a single American

203
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: state granted a gigantic one who is on that state

204
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: into the ground, into the ground, is now lecturing all

205
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: the world leaders on toughness.

206
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: This is gonna be This is gonna be quite a

207
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 3: week if everybody plays their script out the way they

208
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: have been. Trump's gonna give one hell of a speech tomorrow,

209
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: and Gavin's gonna give one hell of a counter speech

210
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 3: on Thursday, because he thinks this is really gonna.

211
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: Launch him on the world stage.

212
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if he and his handlers aren't

213
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: looking at this as the most important speech.

214
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: Of his life. Yeah. I wish I hadn't forgotten to

215
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: gas up my G six because I was gonna go

216
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: to Davos. But I you know, by the time I

217
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: got to the gas station in back. That'd have been late,

218
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: so I stayed home. G six better than a G five,

219
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: I assume, Oh, it's one better, but not quite as

220
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: good as a G seven. I don't want to get showy.

221
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: I mistaken with my six old.

222
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: You don't have to clean two bathrooms, so you go

223
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: with the G six.

224
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about this. The G seven I

225
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: made that up? How would I? That was very smooth fraud? Yes?

226
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: Uh, what's the likelihood things calm down and people start

227
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: talking like diplomats versus people talking like they're doing a

228
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: podcast this week?

229
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: Wow, that was great, By the way, I think it's

230
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: very good, just because the chaos, ugliness, threats thing is

231
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: not sustainable, and I think even even Trump will sense that.

232
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: All Right, that's enough of that. Now, let's move on

233
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: to the next phase. I hope I'm right. I don't

234
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence about it.

235
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: According to the Wall Street Journal, who claims that they've

236
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 3: been talking to world leaders, the world leaders are taking

237
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:44,119
Speaker 3: this threat seriously, a military threat. You're taking a military

238
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: threat from the United States seriously?

239
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: What would happen? Here's your your thoughts starter. What would

240
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: happen if Trump announced we are going to invade Greenland.

241
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: How many commanders would resign? Oh that's a good to

242
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: attack a NATO country.

243
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: Because I think if we put marines on the beaches

244
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: of Greenland, do they have beaches, nobody's gonna fire.

245
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: Surely they got some sort of land sea interface. Nobody's

246
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: going to fire a shot.

247
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: But the outcry would be insane from all of our

248
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 3: closest friends, and and and all the Democrats and half

249
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 3: the Republicans, maybe maybe three forced the Republicans, but one farmer.

250
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: Do they have farms or beach comber or something? Snowplow

251
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: driver might squeeze off a shot and get killed, and

252
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: then good God, right, but you're right.

253
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: It would a ton of commanders resign, and the second

254
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 3: deaf resign. Well, probably not Pete Hegzath. No, yeah, oh boy,

255
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 3: if you have a thought on this text line four

256
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 3: one five two nine five kftcro.

257
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 6: The most beautiful girl woman I had ever seen in

258
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 6: my life lived. We didn't go to town that much,

259
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 6: but when I would, I would go to see her

260
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 6: because she had these long red fingernails, she wore bright lipstick,

261
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 6: she had peroxide blonde hair, wore tight clothes short, and

262
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 6: I thought she is the most beautiful thing I had

263
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 6: ever seen. And my mother said, oh, she's just trash.

264
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 6: She's just a tramp. And I thought, that's.

265
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: What I want to be when I grow Dolly Parton

266
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 3: explaining where she came up with her look the hottest

267
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: woman in her little berg looked like that.

268
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: She thought, that's what I want to look like. She's

269
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: been married to the same blowathlet. Now, first, what fifty

270
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: sixty years he died.

271
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: If you remember, we spent time talking about how wonderful

272
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: their marriage was. They met at the Longermat and stayed

273
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 3: together all those years.

274
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: All right, right, right, yeah, handsome fella, Yeah yeah, interesting, huh,

275
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: how funny. Speaking of celebrities, I think I've never been

276
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: a great fan of Lebron James as a guy who

277
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: says stuff. I think he's a perfect example of hot

278
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: chick syndrome, where if you're a really good looking woman,

279
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: every guy laughs at you your jokes, every woman wants

280
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: to be your friend, and you start thinking, you know

281
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: you're right about everything or funny or whatever, and you're not.

282
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: And Lebron has just been such a superstar of sports

283
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: that you know, since starts to think fourteen years old right,

284
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: So don't blame him, but he's come up. This might

285
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: be his worst idea ever. I saw this the new

286
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: Honor the King edition of the Lebron basketball shoes. The

287
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: shoe has a color scheme nodding to the color of

288
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: the Lorraine Way.

289
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: You don't say color scheme. Colorway is the term all

290
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 3: the kids use. I really like the colorway. I'd never

291
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: heard it before until my son used it.

292
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: It's the word. I'll not say that. It's a nod

293
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: to the color of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee,

294
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: or Martin Luther King had his brains shot out in

295
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight. Excuse me a shoe commemorating where King

296
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: was assassinated. The hotel, which is now a museum, had

297
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: no idea this is coming out. The shoe doesn't pay

298
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: tribute to anything King did or said, but where he

299
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: was murdered. It's not a partnership with the museum. It's

300
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: just for profit. If the goal was to bring attention

301
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: to the museum, the idea misses the mark, and it's

302
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: just it's just troubling.

303
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 3: So their teal and they have a quality on the

304
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: heel and commemorates James once scoring fifty one points all

305
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: right at Memphis on MLK Day back in two thousand

306
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: and eight. But there's a there's a lot of different stuff.

307
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 3: There's a lot of different stuff that just does not

308
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: fit together in this shoe. The lebron is which number

309
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 3: is it? It's the twenty three, which is his number

310
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: on his jersey. Uh yeah, so by the shoe if

311
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 3: you want to wear it, I guess to commemorate MLK.

312
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what that's like, some sort of

313
00:16:54,640 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: Lincoln comfortable theater seat or you know, Abraham Lincoln bulletproof

314
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: hair piece. I don't even know. Oh my, this is terrible.

315
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: This is terrible, lebron. The world's gonna run out of people.

316
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: That's an interesting story.

317
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 3: Among other things, we've got coming upstairs, Armstrong and Getty.

318
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: Steps up down, Hell set God Domori Sack.

319
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: That's the pet.

320
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 5: The ball clets Indiana's first national tempo.

321
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: So that was from that was from last night.

322
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 3: And Indiana finishes off with a perfect season and win

323
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: college football championship. But that reminded me that like, you know,

324
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 3: practically hail Mary at the end to try to win

325
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 3: it by a Miami.

326
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: Did you see the end of the Chicago Bears game.

327
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they hadn't lost, that would be remembered as

328
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: the greatest play in the history of the National Football League.

329
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 3: I mean, there are a lot of great plays that

330
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: happen all the time. Like Chris Collinsworth said, there's never

331
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 3: been anything like that.

332
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: That touchdown from the Bears was just ridiculous. Yeah, yeah,

333
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: that was a great game. Super Although I was rooting

334
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: for the Bears, all my favorite teams have lost, so

335
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 1: now I'm bitter. How do I root? I think I'm

336
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: rotting for the Patriots.

337
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: I like that that Patriot quarterback dude.

338
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too in the New Coach and all and

339
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: how they took over a But gosh, the Patriots fans,

340
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean, how many Super Bowl wins do they deserve.

341
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 3: You're gonna basically your root on whether or not the

342
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 3: fans are too happy or getting.

343
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: Somebody else.

344
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: You're a socialist when it comes to happiness among fans.

345
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: That's right, spread give give the give the trophy to

346
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: Poory Houston.

347
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 3: How about Denver wins and their quarterback breaks his ankle

348
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 3: on the last play of the game. Wow, now they're

349
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: gonna have somebody play in the AFC Championship game who

350
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: hasn't thrown a pass in three years.

351
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: That's something.

352
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: We've talked about demographics a lot. A new report came

353
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: out of China. I guess Katie mentioned this earlier in headlines.

354
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: I just came across this. This is written by an

355
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 3: AI guy who's into demographics.

356
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: That's his wheelhouse.

357
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 3: This is what he tweeted out today with China's new

358
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 3: numbers having come out. I have been posting repeatedly on

359
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: x about the extraordinarily fast collapse of berths across the planet.

360
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 3: This is the part I didn't know.

361
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: He said.

362
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: It's happening in rich and poor countries, in fast growing

363
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: and slow growing economies, in religious and secular societies, under

364
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 3: right wing and left wing governments, the high taxes, the

365
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: low taxes. The pattern is universal around the world. Have

366
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 3: we stopped having kids? As for some I heard that.

367
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 3: I've been based a lot on like first world comfort

368
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 3: or whatever. But it doesn't matter. Everybody stopped. I knew

369
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 3: this trend would continue here right still. The figures release

370
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: this morning from China left me genuinely speechless. China's government

371
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 3: announced today that births in twenty twenty five fell to

372
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: under eight million, a staggering one point six two million

373
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: fewer than the year before. And the total foots declined,

374
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: you might say, and the total fertility rate has dropped

375
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: two point ninety three. To put this into perspective, if China, well,

376
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: I will give you that, because that's a too complicated,

377
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: he says. Best case scenario, in a generation, they'll have

378
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: six hundred million people. That's like high estimate if they

379
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 3: can keep on keeping on the way they've been doing.

380
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 3: But it's unlikely they will based on trends. So in

381
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: how many generations in one generation? So what it goes

382
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: really really fast? They have an old population.

383
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about this?

384
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 3: There were fewer births in China last year than in

385
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: seventeen seven six in China, you are.

386
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: I gotta come up with a good Chinese cliche. You

387
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: are Sweden, sour in my poor, grease in my walk?

388
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: You that's that's a good one. That's a good one.

389
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: I think we'll go with that. Are you greasing my walk?

390
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a little too right.

391
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: Uh, the guy said, I'm still trying to process these numbers.

392
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 3: This is the defining issue of our time.

393
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, Craig the healthcare guru, sent Jack and I a

394
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: piece of naturalist journalism a number of years ago, but

395
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: it stuck in my head. It was so amazing. It

396
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: was about coyotes across the American West and how if

397
00:21:54,440 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: you try to eradicate them, their reproductive numbers rise, like

398
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: in proportion to how many of them you killed.

399
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 3: Same with bees, is that right? As I learned with

400
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 3: wasps when I was trying to kill them. They go

401
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: into they're trying to get rid of us, and they

402
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: they have babies, like they've like way faster.

403
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: Than they were already having. Yeah. Wow, that is amazing.

404
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: And it's not lie hang with me now. It's not

405
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: like coyotes get online and look at Twitter and like, hey, honey,

406
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: did you say you know what I saw today? And

407
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: then they for a committee and then have a meeting

408
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: and then they offer tax incentives to the other coyotes

409
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: to have more children. Bah blah blah. No, it is

410
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: entirely instinctive and through a mechanism. I can only guess

411
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: that because I'm not a naturalist. Is it pheromones? Is

412
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: it when they mark their territory, they're they're they're very

413
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: urine puts out the message that hey, we gotta have

414
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: more cats now, and everybody's like, oh, more kids. Okay, uh,

415
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: it's it's entirely instinctive and natural. It's not much of

416
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: a stretch at all. In fact, now it sounds kind

417
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: of obvious to say it possible human beings have something

418
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: similar to when it was right around where we hit

419
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: eight billion or so that we all got the unconscious

420
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: natural pheromones or whatever messages. That's throttle or back a

421
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: little bit.

422
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 3: Well, can we get away from the conversation then? Given

423
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 3: what that guy just said about doesn't matter. The religion,

424
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 3: the economy, the climate, nothing matters. People have stopped having kids,

425
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 3: So can we get away from the hole. It's porn

426
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 3: or smartphones or whatever conversation or people are too selfish

427
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 3: or microplastics, or women are too liberal or whatever whatever.

428
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 3: True Anyway, a lot of those things are true, but

429
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: that's not the reason. It's what you said. There's something

430
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: going on. We decided as a species we had more

431
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 3: than enough of us, and then we went into retracted gear.

432
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: There are pretty serious scientists who still can't explain, or

433
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: can't adequately explain, the drop in sperm production and testosterone

434
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: among young men. I have my theories, but they're crackpot

435
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: probably true, but crackpot nonetheless. Could it be the coyote factor. Oh,

436
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: that's such a good title for a science fiction novel

437
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: about this very time. Now could it be one hundred percent?

438
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: It is? It clearly is? Now? Why?

439
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: I mean, because there's all kinds of reasons the species

440
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 3: would go into we need to have more babies mode

441
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 3: under threat.

442
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: Why a species decides there's too many of them and restricts.

443
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's known well, especially because there.

444
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: If you've ever driven across Nevada, you know there's plenty

445
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: of room if we need more room. Yeah. In fact, hell,

446
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: drive from Kansas City to San Francisco. Sometimes it's actually

447
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: beautiful and fascinating because you realize how big this country is.

448
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: But you also realize, holy crap, we got nothing butt room.

449
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: So it's not that it's not a lack of food resources.

450
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: Look around, everybody's fat, and even in the Third world

451
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: these days, what would it be if not geographic or

452
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: food resources. Because if I'm picturing coyotes and deer, I

453
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't I don't know. I'm mystified by this.

454
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 3: Well everyone's mystified by it. So you know, if you

455
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: figured out you'll win a Nobel Prize, I mean it's.

456
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: I'd give it to Trump because he got screwed by

457
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: those damn Norwegians.

458
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 3: Well the Prime Minister of Norway didn't give it to him.

459
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: Oh for the love of God. Ah wow, okay, all right.

460
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, we'll move on from this, but

461
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 3: it feels funny to move on from the populations dying

462
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: off worldwide. I was about to say, uh, I we

463
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 3: say this is the biggest story in the world about

464
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 3: you know, eight things a week, eight different things a week,

465
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 3: because there are a lot of big things going on.

466
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: AI and what it's going to do to the world.

467
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: Sure, you know, the smartphone age and nobody trusting any

468
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 3: news source and all that sort of stuff.

469
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: That's a big, big deal.

470
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: And I don't know how we're ever going to recover Bennings.

471
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 3: But there is nothing bigger. You can't make an argument

472
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: that there's anything bigger than human beings decided to stop

473
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 3: having kids.

474
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: Here's your fascinating follow on question, how does that affect

475
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: the utterly practical and brutal chesion ping's plans. We've peaked.

476
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: We're declining fast. If we're going to do X, Y

477
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: or Z, it's got to be now. And both X

478
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: and Y and probably Z are taking over Taiwan. He

479
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: can't afford to have a million soldiers die in a conflict.

480
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: While he can, but not for long because they're not

481
00:26:52,359 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: having babies. I don't know. It's stunning. And how how low?

482
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: How long will this last? How low will it go?

483
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: Are we just going to recede back to like seven

484
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: billion people and then for whatever reason we decided that's okay?

485
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 3: Or are we just going to keep shrinking and be

486
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 3: you know, eighty million people spread across the world here

487
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 3: by the end of the century.

488
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, if you accept my coyote theory at some point, yeah,

489
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: as you as you're hinting at, we would say, no,

490
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: that's that's a low enough population. Now let's start getting

491
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: it again. And then you know, I'll be disappointed. I'm

492
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: as old as I am because I'd be more than

493
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: happy to join in on that. Well, you're not going

494
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: to have any kids? Well, I know that's what I'm saying.

495
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: It's too bad, because I really enjoy the approcreative act.

496
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was too good at it. I was able

497
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 3: to cause the pregnancy at one tribe both times. Wow,

498
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: I just got my seemen are amazing.

499
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god. It just keeps getting supermaitives or Michael.

500
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yes, kiddie.

501
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 7: Wondering when Michael was just wondering when Michael was going

502
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 7: to use his powers and cut you off.

503
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: I know I'm at the switch. I know I'm not asleep.

504
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm just stunned.

505
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 3: Well, we've all suffered for your rosado. You said you

506
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 3: put out a picture of your baby bump over the weekend.

507
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 3: Where I did.

508
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 7: I put it on Twitter and a lot of the

509
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 7: feedback very sweet, some of it.

510
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't read the comments. It entertains me.

511
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: Okay, if you're thick skinned enough for it.

512
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 7: Yeah.

513
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 3: There are plenty of people in the world that can

514
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: come up with something negative to say about someone happy

515
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 3: about being pregnant.

516
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I hate the Internet partly because a lot

517
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: of what shapes the Internet, virtually everything that shapes social

518
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: media in the Internet is either a people who are

519
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: profiting from it and don't give us single crap about

520
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: the cost of people's souls, or b evildoers who profit

521
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: by us being at each other's throats. Those two things

522
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: together shape I don't know, pigger number seventy eight percent

523
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: of online culture, those two malevolent forces. So I'm checking out,

524
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: heading into the woods.

525
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: Well, all the people will be gone soon, so it

526
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 3: won't make any difference.

527
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: It's a good point.

528
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 3: If you got a theory why we all stopped having babies.

529
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: I hadn't read that that it's poor countries, rich countries,

530
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 3: doesn't matter the climate.

531
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: I had assumed they were knocking out kids like crazy,

532
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: and you know that that's what I thought. Whatever, that's

533
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: what I thought too.

534
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 3: Economy grown, economy slowing, war torn, peaceful, doesn't make any difference.

535
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 3: Everybody just decided, eh, kids, there's kind of a pain

536
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 3: in the ass. I mean, I look at my brother

537
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 3: in law, looks like a lot of work.

538
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: I think I won't do it. I guess that's what

539
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: people decide. Yes.

540
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 7: I went into a baby store over the weekend and this.

541
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: Sweet oh my god, they're selling babies and stores now

542
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: that's all bad.

543
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 7: It's around little cushiony cages. It was pretty cute, no wow,

544
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 7: but wild wild plade. The woman who was working there

545
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 7: was darling, and she asked you know, Oh what is

546
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 7: it a boy or girl? And I was talking to

547
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 7: her and she goes, oh, you did IVF. She's like,

548
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 7: I've been thinking about doing that because I just can't

549
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 7: find a real man anywhere.

550
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: Oh again, I wish I was younger. Sorry, honey, is

551
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: let me freelance a little bit? That's all I'm asking.

552
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 7: But yeah, we got onto the topic of like she's like,

553
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 7: they're all the men now just are weak, and I

554
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 7: don't want anything to do with them. So she's considering

555
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 7: doing IVF to just have a kid on her own.

556
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: I've heard that from people. Yeah. Interesting.

557
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 3: And then final note on this, we'll get the chance

558
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: to talk about this a lot in the coming years,

559
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 3: probably is how do the politics change as childlessness becomes

560
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 3: the norm? Oh, it could really really change the politics

561
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 3: of things.

562
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: We will have a very even more live for today

563
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: style of policy as opposed to look, we've got to

564
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: invest in the future, we got to be responsible, and

565
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: then it won't be good.

566
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 3: How do people look at schools and all kinds of

567
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 3: different things. Anyway, we'll finish strong.

568
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: Backs they relax, okay, and have a child, all right,

569
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: get pregnant. We'll finish strong. Next we probably didn't spend

570
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: enough time today.

571
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 3: And how the anti Ie nut jobs went into that

572
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 3: church in Minneapolis and disrupted a service absolutely unbelievable and

573
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 3: clearly a violation of the first miniment rights to peacefully.

574
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: Worship well and of every measure of decency, yeah and

575
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: convenors and political discourse. It was just utterly aberrant. They

576
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: should get their asses beat. And I don't care whether

577
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: their cause is anti ice or up with socialism or

578
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: the designated hitter rule. That is just horrific and disease

579
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: Don Lemon, he doesn't have a disease. He is a disease.

580
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: He is an affected sore on the height of mankind.

581
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: In my opinion, he was leading, encouraging, happened to be

582
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: there him embedded with some I see, here's what it

583
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: sounded like thirty four where Don is attempting to talk

584
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: to the poor pastor of the church. What do you

585
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: think of this? I mean, this is unacceptable, It's shameful.

586
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: It's shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship.

587
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: But there were posts wars. I have to take care

588
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: of my flow.

589
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 4: Listen, we live in there's a constitution in the first

590
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 4: Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble a protest.

591
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: We're here to worship.

592
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 3: We're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of

593
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 3: these cities.

594
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: That's the hope of the world is Jesus Christ. That's

595
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: very respectful, but please don't push me there. We're here.

596
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: We're here to worship Jesus. That's why we're here. Okay,

597
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: that's why we're here. That's what we're about. Do you

598
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: think Jesus would be understanding we're about this. We're aboulustrade

599
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: and the love of Jesus. And you try to talk

600
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: to them as as everyone is willing to talk.

601
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: Okay, I have to take care of my church and

602
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: my family, so I asked this, you actually would also

603
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 3: leave for this woman?

604
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 4: You don't want to.

605
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm always worse. I'm a Christians. We're here, Well, we're

606
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: here to worship.

607
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: We're here to worship.

608
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: Okay, thank your speech for you. I hate don Lemon,

609
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: You dick. He's evil. What a dick is? Right? First

610
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: of all, he goes with a horrifically stupid First Amendment

611
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: take and then wouldn't Jesus look at listen to these

612
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: people and I'm just here chronicling it. You're just here

613
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: trying to create jazzy content. So you're cream crappy podcast,

614
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: get some hits. You are a piece of garbage. Don Lemon.

615
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 3: Almost had a January s bomb. Here's your host for

616
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 3: final thoughts, Joe Getty.

617
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: He's got a final thought from everybody on the crew.

618
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,600

Speaker 1: That's why you gotta find a different way than violence.

640
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,520
