WEBVTT - How About Them Apples? 0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:06.360 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:10.480 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty. 0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:17.439 Armstrong and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.000 An urgent search in New York City for this man 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.840 who police say randomly murdered and set fire to an 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.400 elderly couple who let him into their queen's home to 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:32.600 charge his cell phone. 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.280 The nicest neighbors you could ever ask for. That's about 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.000 the worst story I've ever heard in my life. 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:42.160 Oh, I'm skipping a lot of the details because it's 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:43.840 just too horrible. 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.320 What this guy did to this poor older. 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:54.920 Couple is unspeakable, medieval, just gut wrenching. One more clip. 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.920 Police say the suspect is Jamel McGriff, an armed and 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.120 dangerous career criminal out on parole for robbery. 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:06.280 For the public, the message is clear, do not allow 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.640 anyone you don't know or who you are not expecting 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.319 into your home. You know, the message to the public 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.320 is clear. New York lets career criminals out, over and 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:18.600 over and over again. 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:20.119 Yeah, we Nelly Bowls. 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.319 Earlier in the show, Every murderous lunatic in America gets 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.680 one free murder because we won't put you in jail 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:27.600 for good until you murder somebody. 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:32.480 Yeah, it should be at least the co message. We 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.640 let people do bad things over and over and over again, 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.240 so there's a lot of them out there. So the 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.240 likelihood something something bad is going to happen to you 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:41.919 is risen in recent years. 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:42.880 That's the message. 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:49.640 Yeah, which leads fairly comfortably to a discussion about Zorn Mumdani. 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:51.760 How do you pronounce his name again? 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.320 Do we have that helpful Latitia James from New York 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.800 at that if it's handy Michael. But William Galston of 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.400 the Wall Street Journal is one of their opinion writers. 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.880 He's a longtime professor of public policy, is a Brookings 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:08.079 Institution guy. He's I would have definitely describe him as 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.000 kind of a cerebral moderate Republican as opposed to a 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:11.600 bomb checker. 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.600 And he writes about. 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.000 Just year and a half is going to be the mayor, 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.600 by the way, so might concentrate you on this conversation. 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.880 This isn't a theoretical he is aside from some like 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.760 meteor or it turns out he's got somebody buried in 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.320 his backyard. He is going to be the mayor based 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:35.560 on the polls that came out yesterday there Ron Monadni, right, 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:36.760 that's wrong anyway. 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:38.519 So it was about a year and a half ago 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:39.760 that he was a member of the New York State 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.800 of Assembly and he gave the keynote speech at the 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:46.760 Democratic Socialists of America's national convention in Chicago, and he 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.520 emphasized the significance of being part of the DSA. He 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.240 went on on about we are special because of our organization, 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.160 and our organization was different because it's of its sincerity, 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.920 unlike other political group. We mean what we say. We 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:07.239 have a socialist politic. Socialism is our theory and DSA 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:11.720 is our practice. He'll get hammered the point, Bernie, that 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.440 the Democratic Socialists of America should be taken at their word. 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.000 So okay, Galston writes that you know, from FDR on 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.200 people have you know, called various things socialism. A lot 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:27.119 of Democrats are thinking about democracy like the Scandinavian countries 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.280 with like a really generous safety net, and we've explained 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:34.840 why that wouldn't have work in the US. But the DSA, 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.680 though their official platform, is committed to the to socialism 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.680 in the classic sense. The textbook sense public ownership of 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.840 the means of production updated for the information age, and 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.000 I quote from their platform, our fight is to end 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:54.920 capitalist exploitation. In overcoming the old barbaric order of capitalism, 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.600 the working class will not only liberate itself from its 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.400 own shackles, but all of humanity from the paris cidic 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.040 death drive of capitalism. 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.240 Wow, you're you're actually socialists? Okay? 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.360 Oh yeah, well yeah and communist it's honest, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.000 that is wild. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:13.640 Oh yeah, oh, how do you look at all the 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.920 statistics about capitalism and what it's done for the world? 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.240 Free market is a better term, as you ways, like, yeah, 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:22.880 how do you look at all the stats of free 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.520 market and how many people it's lifted out of poverty 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.040 and all that sort of stuff, and defy that. 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:29.840 It's it's one of. 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:34.120 The riddles of human beings that they fall for the 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.520 scam of communism over and over again because it sounds 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.039 good to people who don't understand how it always works. 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.800 But so to end the exploitation achieve liberation, the DSA 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:51.719 calls for the nationalization of railroads, utilities, critical manufacturing technology companies, 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:56.359 institutions of monetary policy, insurance, real estate finance, all of 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.640 it nationalized. And if that wasn't sweeping enough, the DSA 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.919 calls public ownership of hospitals other healthcare providers. 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.520 It urges government control of food. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:09.239 Production with a call to socialize the agriculture system. Wow, 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.719 Stalin tried that, so did mal Finally, it calls for 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.440 social ownership of all the media and internet providers. 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.719 So be fair for a moment. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.640 What would they say when you if someone like you, 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.599 some belligerent like yourself said, yeah, Stalin tried that, so 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.000 did Mao, so did lots of other people in other 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.479 countries where people start, what would their honest response be 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:31.880 to that? 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.400 Well, well, and I'll tell you, and I've been hearing 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.960 it since I was a college kid, they would say 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.840 they didn't do it right, they made a mistakes. 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.839 So it's that old dodge. It's just nobody's actually ever 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:44.240 tried it in an honest way. 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.800 Right, We're going to do it pure socialism slash communism, okay, 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:50.720 and we're not going to let our fat cats get 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.480 too much control, and we're not going to allow people 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.800 to get rich. We're going to be pure hearted about it, 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:57.520 which is hilarious, but. 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:02.200 We're going to be able to tell from a a 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:06.000 single office how many acres of this or that you 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:06.680 should plant. 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.279 When how was that going to work? Right? Yeah, I 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:11.120 know it's a nightmare. 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.880 And just to reiterate my point in bringing this up 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.280 is that I don't want you to hear the DSA 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.719 and think, oh, they want to be slightly more like 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:24.080 Denmark and think, you know, that seems to work for 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:24.679 the Danes. 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.520 What's so bad about the DSA. I'm going to go on. 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:32.240 They don't stop with control of the economy to liberate society. 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.360 They demand that the US work toward collapsing the criminal 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.960 justice system. Among other measures, this means defunding the police, 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:44.760 freeing all prisoners and other incarcerated people from involuntary confinement. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.920 This is their words, friends, not mine, theirs, ending policing 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:50.440 of black and brown neighborhoods. 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.920 What do you black folks think of that idea? 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:58.160 Disarming all law enforcement officers and repealing any local ordinance 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.640 that criminalizes people involved in the sex and drug trades. 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.680 And there's more. They weigh in on a host of 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.640 social and cultural issues. It's immigration, plant calls for the 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.200 demilitarization of the border, and an end to all immigration 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:16.560 detention and deportation. Also the abolition of the US Immigration 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:21.560 Customs Enforcement, an immediate unconditional amnesty for all immigrants regardless 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.360 of legal status, so wide, open. 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:25.800 Border, and one hundred percent amnesty. 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.080 So the polar is referencing that shows that Mam Daanami, 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.760 with those views is going to be the mayor of 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:32.120 New York. 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:33.000 Came out yesterday. 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.280 He's leading Andrew Cuomo, who shouldn't be allowed to be 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:43.400 anything ever again forty six twenty four, wow, twenty points ahead. 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.520 And then when you break it down, it's so interesting. 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:51.360 Even a third of old people prefer mam Dami. I mean, 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.880 he's running away with the young and stupid. You can 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:55.480 give them a pass, I guess because they went to 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.880 college and their college professors told them all this stuff 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.600 was a good idea. But if you're old, if you're 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.480 over six, you've been around, you should know better. A 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:03.480 third of them support him. 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.640 You're an idiot. You are an idiot. 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.520 The more education you have, the more likely you are 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:14.440 to support mum Dami. No degree whatsoever, thirty percent, he 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.560 would still win, but you bachelor's degree are more at 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:18.760 sixty percent or better. 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.520 In climbs as you go up. That is really troubling. 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.880 And then Manhattan, where you got all these rich, smart 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:30.200 people in theory living in New York surrounded by reality. 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:34.760 Almost sixty percent of Manhattanite support mum dami. 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.200 Yeah. Good. So the idea that. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.440 The more educated you are, quote unquote, the more you 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:43.559 support the guy. Excuse me, I would point out, and 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.320 I could support this idea all day long. But when 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:53.080 you hear educated, think indoctrinated, because, as I've said, like 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.360 in most programs in universities right now, they're there to 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.240 indoctrinate you. You might learn a little accounting while you're there, 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.400 although like accounting programs are more you know, nuts and bolts, 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:07.160 like engineering, But in any of the liberal arts fields, 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.040 you're there to be indoctrinated, and they might teach you 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.720 some political science, for instance. So yeah, the more indoctrinated 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.079 the you are, the more you support Mundani. 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.319 I get that. A couple more things. 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:24.600 Their housing policy features universal rent control, universal all rents 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:25.600 decided by the government. 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:31.040 On health ed ah, okay, go ahead. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.880 Yeah, well go ahead, if you want put on healthcare. 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.720 It says miners should be able to obtain gender affirming 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:40.960 care without parental consent, and advocate such treatments, including hormone 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:45.120 replacement therapy and surgery for all prisoners who request it. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.840 So all children and all prisoners. 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:52.240 So where do you start. So your economic policies have 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:59.040 been tried and failed over and over again, But then again, 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:00.040 two hundreds. 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.240 Of million people have died. I mean, it's not like 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.840 it was mildly inconvenient and the trains ran late. 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:09.199 But you add into that you think little kids should 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.679 get to decide for themselves. I think I'm a boy, 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.800 and then the doctors go to operating on them without 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.080 the parents knowing, and the taxpayers pay for it. That's 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.560 what makes sense to you, you freaking nut jobs. 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.240 In my final note, and I'll encapsulate this, we haven't 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:28.319 even touched on their foreign and defense policies. Complete disarmament 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.640 of the United States, ending all military aid to any allies, 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:38.959 withdrawing from NATO. We should harshly condemn Israel, but normalize 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:43.679 relationships with Cuba, Iran, Venezuela and other countries targeted for 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.559 resisting US imperialism. 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.400 So let's go big picture politics on this. 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.079 And the same guy Joe As quoting Bill Galston, rights 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.840 this because this is what's gonna happen. If I'm a 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.280 regular Democrat. I hate the idea the mom Dammi's gonna win. 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.360 This is what Bill Galston rights and correct. If he's 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:05.160 elected mayor, as seems likely, he will become a leading 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.559 voice in the Democratic Party and will shape public perceptions 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.400 of the party's identity. You know how it was. Nancy 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.319 Pelosi was the face of the Democratic Party for so long. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.680 And she wasn't within ten miles. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.319 As a face of San Francisco as as crazy as 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:23.080 this guy is. 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.640 Oh no, Ronald Reagan is not even close. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.240 So regular Americans across the country are going to see 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.240 the Democratic Party and see this guy's face. Democrats who 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.120 endorse his candidacy are sending a message there's room in 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.480 the party for members of an organization many of whose 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:43.240 policies the electric the electorate rejected wholeheartedly in twenty twenty four, 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.600 and whose commitment to socialism is shared by only a 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:53.480 minority of the American people. Socialism polls very poorly, always has. 0:11:53.640 --> 0:12:01.880 Thank God, these people are radical communists in the United States, 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.760 openly operating and perhaps winning one of the most critical 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.160 elections in the most important city in America, right, and 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:15.280 worth mentioning his I got the nomination. I'm moderating part 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:19.480 of his campaign. Right, what he's doing now? Waitley, he's 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:24.800 in office and he's won. Oh my god, so crazy. 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.520 Go ahead, give it a whirl. Knock yourself. 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.520 I believe I'm watching this happen. I don't live in 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.800 New York, so it ain't gonna work. Tell you that. 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.240 We do have a new richest man in the world, 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:38.800 which is kind of big news. The why is the 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.000 biggest news, among other things to talk about, stay. 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:48.800 Here, Marv. 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.560 President Joe Biden has decided to build his presidential library 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.800 in Delaware, where it will compete with Delaware's other biggest attraction, 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:58.719 the border with Maryland. 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:04.280 Well, you know, that's a pretty decent joke from a 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:10.160 lefty politician. The Joe Biden Presidential Library will not be 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:19.400 well attended. Oh wow, the point we're just talking about socialists, 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:21.040 socialist countries. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:22.880 This is breaking news. 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:27.320 Cuba's electrical grid has collapsed, leaving the entire island without power, 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.360 according to the state run power company. 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:32.400 So there you go with that. 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.880 Category for a hurricane recently hit Cuba and caused one 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.160 hundred million dollars worth of improvements. 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.600 I mentioned bone conductive headphones earlier that I'm a big 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.679 fan of now. And in case you don't know what 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.960 they are, they're they're like they they lean against the 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:57.120 bone right behind your ear, and that's how the sound 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:57.680 is transferred. 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:58.320 I'll just read this. 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.640 They send sound vibration through your bones directly to your 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.320 inner ear. The ear drum isn't involved, so there are 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:09.720 a number of advantages to that from a you know, 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.200 blasting your ear drum with those little pod things that 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:14.679 that I have been using. 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.080 Your ear's crazy. You can hear without ear ear drums. Yeah. 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.520 Your ears stay open, so you can still hear traffic 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.960 conversations or other sounds around you. That's why runners and 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.000 cyclists often like them. I like them at the gym. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:27.080 Yeah. 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.240 I bought the Shocks brand, which is what the New 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:33.080 York Times wirecutter people recommended as the best one out there, 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.320 and it's awesome. I like it, so I'll never go 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.720 back to the buds ever. So just throwing that out 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:39.040 there in case you don't dig the buds. 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.400 Wow, you know, yeah, that'd be great to actually be 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.560 able to have conversations with people at the gym because 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:48.040 I see friends regularly. Plus, you know, have your ears 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:49.920 open for traffic or whatever if you're on the bike. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:50.760 I love that idea. 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.720 It's weird. Well, they can't the idea of it, but 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:55.920 pardon me. They can't fall out of the way they're 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:56.240 all built. 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:57.760 They got a little strap around the back of your 0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.800 neck and then they lean up against the bones behind 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:02.320 your They can't fall out. You can shake your head, 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:03.760 you can ride your bike, you can run, you can 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:04.840 lift weights, you can do whatever. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.240 Not gonna fall out of yours. That's what I like. 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.160 You can't And they're so light you can't even tell 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.080 you got them on. We got a text from somebody said, oh, 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:13.880 I love them. You guys haven't been on these yet, 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.640 he said, I leave them on all the time. I 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.320 think in the future people will probably wear some device 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.200 like this, he said. I forget them all the time. 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.200 Asked TSA that I've got them on. I wanted to 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:29.440 mention this. Larry Ellison is now the world's richest man. Yeah, 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:34.320 he blew past elon Musk yesterday. Because Larry Ellison's company, 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.720 his tech company, Oracle, had a one hundred and one 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:42.560 massive surge one hundred and one billion dollar surgeon one 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:47.200 day because of their stellar quarterly results all around their 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.680 AI cloud stuff. And they've got a whole bunch of 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.560 different AI stuff that's supposed to be great. It's way 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:58.080 beyond me. But in the market went nuts over the 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.520 results on this stuff. To me, well, there's a couple 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:05.960 of things here, But people with lots of money continue 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.800 to believe there's money to be made in AI. 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:12.000 Obviously, right, and it can be the gold mine of 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:12.800 all gold mine. 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.960 They're not dumb people, these people who are spending billions 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.440 and billions and billions of dollars and then often making 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.480 significantly more billions of dollars of if it pans out. 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.960 So woy keep an eye on this. Apparently he and 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.000 Elon are really good friends and they're both are big 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.440 believers in AI and UH and kind of share each 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.480 other's views of AI, so that that's cool. 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:34.800 It's not a rivalry. Really. 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.400 Yeah, plenty of really really smart people have been wrong 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.960 in the past about various bubbles, but I certainly don't 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:40.760 know that they are here. 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:41.840 I just enjoyed. 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.240 I kind of pep on the scenes as Jack was 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:48.600 discussing AI cloud services. I nodded like, oh, yes, aidoud, 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:54.280 this does must be very very helpful. Oh I don't 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:55.600 even I don't know what that is. 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:01.720 I heard of both of those things, but right, that 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:02.640 is pretty funny. 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.040 So Kamala Harris's book, which oh, speaking of really really 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.800 smart people, I came out like months ago. 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.960 We had excerpts. It's finally coming out or something, and 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.720 The Atlantic had a bunch of excerpts. Everybody's talking about them. 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.360 We will talk about them too, Stay. 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.080 Tuned, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.639 So Kamala Harris is who, Nobody's ever going to read it? 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.960 Book is coming out eventually. I assume I thought it 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.280 came out months ago. Remember we had excerpts a while back. 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:33.600 How many how many launches? 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:34.760 Does she? AnyWho? 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.760 The Atlantic has chunks of it and people are reading 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.119 it and talking about it. Here is a little Lansleon 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.480 Fox reading from the Kamala Harris book. 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.160 Many people want to spin up a narrative of some 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.480 big conspiracy at the White House to hide Joe Biden's infirmity. 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.440 Here's the truth as I lived it. Joe Biden was 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.840 a smart guy with long experience and deep conviction, able 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.960 to discharge the duties of president eighty one, Joe got tired. 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.200 That's when his age showed in physical and verbal stumbles. 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.480 I don't think it's any surprise that the debate debacle 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.080 happened right after two back to back trips to Europe 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.399 and a flight to the West Coast for a Hollywood fundraiser. 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.960 I don't believe it was incapacity. If I believe that, 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.400 I would have said so. As loyal as I am 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.640 to President Biden, I am more loyal. 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:23.600 To my country. 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:25.880 You know what I find ridiculous, Well, first of all, 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:30.160 she's in a position where she can't obviously say, oh, yeah, 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.480 I saw him like this all the time, so she's 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.399 got to pretend she didn't see him that way. But 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.760 that pushback that Hunter and others have used, he had 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.720 done back to back trips and this and that, and okay, 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.159 part of that was a choice. One of the trip 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.720 that you're talking about, he had an official presidential duty trip, 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:50.600 then he had to go to a fundraiser. Well, he 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.679 didn't have to go to a fundraiser. He chose to 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:55.840 go to a fundraiser in the midst of his schedule. 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.080 So that was a decision he made. And you know 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.040 what else could happen after a couple of trips and 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.040 a bunch of other stuff. A major world event could 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.439 occur where you've got to make a decision, and if 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:09.440 you're too tired from the life you live as. 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.480 President, then maybe you shouldn't be president. Too tired of 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:13.760 strength sentences together? 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:17.480 Yeah, yeah, well, and plus there was a week between 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:18.800 all of that and the debate. 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.560 So that's just again, it's just covering her ass. 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:23.600 Here's some other stuff the New York Times picked out, 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:27.800 and it's all pretty good. Former Vice presid Kamala Harri 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.680 said it was a mistake not to question Joe Biden's 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:35.240 insistence on running for reelection last year, despite his advanced age. 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.000 In a new book, she writes that it was recklessness 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.280 that led her and other Democrats to cede the choice 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:46.840 to an individual's ego. You say that now, during all 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.720 those months of growing panic, should should I have told 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.600 Joe to consider not running? Perhaps way to take a stand. 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:55.960 But after all this time of thinking of it, you're 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:57.760 still a I don't know person. 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.840 That's just now she's come out with a strong perhaps 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:03.560 for the record. 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.480 Maybe, but the American people had chosen him before. In 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.760 the same matchup maybe he was right to believe that 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:13.480 they would do so. Again, she described herself as being 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:15.480 in the worst position to make the case that he 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:20.040 should drop out. Obviously, for the vice president you could 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.200 be accused of of course, you want the guy ahead 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:24.200 of you to drop out so you could be president. 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.400 At the time, she and others extended grace in allowing 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:30.880 Joe and Jill the first lady, to make the decision 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:32.760 on their own. But now, she wrote, she had come 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:34.760 to believe it was a mistake not to speak up. 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.000 In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.560 simply too high. This wasn't a choice that should have 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:44.280 been left to an individual's ego, an individual's ambition. It 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:46.360 should have been more than a personal decision. 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:48.520 That's funny. 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:51.760 That sounds a lot like what seventy five percent of 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:53.359 America was saying at the time. 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:57.159 Well, the problem, I mean, she has a number of 0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:01.480 problems with laying this out. Like I said, she can't 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.280 admit that she saw him in you know, as a 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.840 daughtering old man a lot, or then she's a bad American. 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:12.040 She also can't fully embrace the oh much earlier. We 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:15.760 should have all asked him to not run again, because 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.159
