Drug prices will come down bye much more. 7 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: Really, if you thinky this did not what it costs 8 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: us to go to Disney, clearly you've lost your mind. Michael. 9 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 3: Before we even got into the park, it cost me 10 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 3: thirty dollars just for parking, and even being a Florida resident, 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 3: tickets for a family of five with one child under 12 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 3: ten was still nine hundred and seventy four dollars. Right 13 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 3: after our first ride, we bought two waters and three 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 3: ice creams. This total twenty nine dollars and fifty cents. 15 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 3: After the second ride, they wanted a pretzel and I 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 3: wanted a beer. This was another nineteen dollars. After that, 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 3: it was time for lunch. We teached up with a 18 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 3: small pizza. Each had a side and a small drink, 19 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 3: totally forty four dollars and thirty five cents. 20 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: Once we got the Star Wars line. 21 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,639 Speaker 3: We've had to buy some blue milk for ten dollars 22 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 3: and twenty nine cents. It tasted like a slushy with 23 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 3: nerds on top. The kids then snuck away and bought 24 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 3: some Star Wars Coca cola. 25 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: This was six dollars and fifty cents. 26 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: After the next ride, we went and had a churo 27 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: a water and a margarite. 28 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: This was another thirty six dollars. 29 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 3: We ended up at the four monak Ussina for some 30 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 3: Mexican food, totaling two hundred and forty five dollars twenty 31 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 3: seven cents for dinner. The grand total for our day 32 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 3: was one thousand, three hundred and ninety one dollars ninety 33 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 3: one cents. 34 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: Fourteen hundred bucks for him and his kids day. Does 35 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: everybody in that family have a tapeworm? They are hungry? 36 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: Bastards are here amounta eating and drinking more than I 37 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: usually do. Come on, wait a minute, y'all took in 38 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: like five thousand calories each. I see your point. You're right, 39 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: it's incredibly expensive, Disney. I'm telling you, you know, I 40 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna get off on this tangent, but the idea 41 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: of UH have metal guy. Get ready, Michael, because we 42 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: got a California's crumbling update coming. But the idea that 43 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: Hollywood needs some sort of tax subsidy when a lot 44 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: of the problem is just it's so expensive and brutally 45 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: regulated in California. It's too expensive to do anything, including 46 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: making movies. Right, That's a good points. It is too expensive. 47 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: That's why so many companies have moved to Texas. It's 48 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: not you know, it's the same as the Hollywood industry. 49 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: It's just way harder and more expensive and more of 50 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: a pain in the ass to do it in California 51 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: than other places. Yeah. In a semi related story, there 52 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: are a bunch of quote unquote moderate Republicans who are 53 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: in purple districts but in the blue states that are 54 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: desperate to get the GOP to get in favor of 55 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: the state and local tax exemption on your federal income 56 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: taxes what's the nickname for that state and local the 57 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: salt deductions, And they want to raise it like thirty 58 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: grand so that the people of the other you know, 59 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: forty states or whatever it is. If you're in a 60 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: blue state that spends money like lunatics on I don't know, 61 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: fake bullet trains for instance, and drives businesses out and 62 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 1: the rest of it. Well, you know that's fine. You're 63 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: all those incredible taxes you're paying. We'll make those tax 64 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: deductible on your federal turns so the rest of the 65 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: country can subsidize it. It's insane. There's no justification for it. 66 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry to say it if it hurts you personally, 67 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: but there's just no justification. Oh, it hurts me personally 68 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: as a California it'd be way better be able to 69 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: deduct my state taxes. But it's incredibly unfair to like 70 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: my brothers who live in Kansas to pick up the 71 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: tab because our government's out of control. Yeah, you got 72 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: some disciplined whys with their money states subsidizing the lunatics. 73 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: It just doesn't make any sense. Speaking of which, California 74 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: is crumbling. Thanks metal guy. Tell you what what he 75 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: lacks in length, he makes up for an intensity. Played again, Michael. Yeah, Oh, 76 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: he's always right there when you need them. A handful 77 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: of stories about the Golden State and in particular the governor, 78 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: Gavi Newsom. Here's the adline for you. Gav Newsom Awards 79 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: Anti Terrorism Grant to the mosque linked to nine to 80 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: eleven hijackers and a pro Hamas cleric. Two hundred dollars 81 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: to the Islamic Center of San Diego two hundred about 82 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: a month ago. Two hundred thousand dollars. Oh ok, I'm sorry, 83 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 1: it's gonna say that's not much for grant. That's what well, 84 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: you want to go out to eat honey now? Two 85 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars to the Islamic Center San Diego and 86 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: MARSH part of the program to help religious institutions and 87 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: nonprofits beef ob security to protect against potential terrorist attacks. 88 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: Who blombers So. The Islamic Center of San Diego, led 89 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: by Imam Taja Hassein, has condoned anti Israeli violence over 90 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: the years. Sayin who's been around now for like twenty years, 91 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: defended Hamas's slaughter of Israeli civilians on October seventh, singing 92 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: a sermon weeks later that resistance against Israel has justified. 93 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: We can, like you someone who's fighting for his life 94 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: to be a terrorist. The terrorist is the one who 95 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: started the occupation, not the one who was defending himself. 96 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: But even without that, even if they're you know, peace, 97 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: love and Muslims. Why are me an a taxpayer given 98 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars of some mosque? Why? And the 99 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: Islamic centers of San Diego gained notoriety in the wake 100 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: of nine eleven after revelations the two of the Al 101 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: Kay operatives who flew the plane that hit the Pentagon 102 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: prayed regularly at the mosque and bye Golly, somebody at 103 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: the mosque also gave him thousands of dollars to get 104 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: by on while they were planning the brutal attack against 105 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: the infidel Americans. Absolutely lovely, but Gavey awarded the grant 106 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: even as California faces a steep budget shortfall. Speaking of 107 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: Gavy and policies and consequences, send Luis Obispo Da Dan 108 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: Dau just sent California Governor Gavin knew from an urgent 109 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: letter urging him to reverse the Board of Parole hearing 110 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,119 Speaker 1: to release Ali Brown formerly Herbert David Brown, the third 111 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: from prison. Herbert David now Miss Ali Brown, is a 112 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: baby murderer convicted of horrific crimes that killed a toddler. 113 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: He is saying he was sentenced to fifteen years to life. 114 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: He entered prison ten years ago. And the pro board said, ah, 115 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: turn her loose, this transgender baby murderer, and the victim's 116 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: family and the prosecutors and all are saying, what kind 117 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: of system is this. He's not even gonna serve his minimums, 118 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: so it's for baby murder. But what's the argument for 119 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: letting her out? He is a dude. It's it's just 120 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: the California the policies under Prop. Fifty seven. You got 121 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: to get people out of prison as soon as possible, 122 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: all right, it's just turning scumbags loose. Man, if something 123 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: like that happened in your life and they let the 124 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: personneut you would, man, you'd have to commit yourself to 125 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: meditation or God or something to deal with that be 126 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: so frustrating California's crumbling metal guide. Did I mention that 127 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: the National Review, writing with interest about Gavy Newsom's teachers union, 128 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: backed build that requires teachers to lie to parents, but 129 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: only on the matter of a school kid's gender identity. 130 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: If little Bobby wants to be Susie, wants to use 131 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: pronouns that don't match his biology, or wants to get 132 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: into the girl's locker room, Newsome's acron acronymically clever, support 133 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: academic futures and educators for today's youth. The Safety Act 134 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: bar schools employees from disclosing to parents their child's on 135 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: campus behavior, and the state recommends that schools keep secret 136 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: separate files to document the kid's sexual identity. The Safety 137 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: Act safety is hiding from the parents that their kids 138 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: are struggling at school. That's the same and struggling with 139 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: gender identity because the activist teachers and administrators have been 140 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: trying to tell the kids that you can be a 141 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: different sex if you want to be, and we will 142 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: get you hormones and surgery to mutilate you if you 143 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: want it. But the bills backers claim it's necessary because 144 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: parents might go ape upon learning that their own children 145 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: have gender dysphoria of some sort. The bill's backers, including 146 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: the majority of California news organizations, refer to the lost 147 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: critics as supporting forced outing. Three points. Number One, you 148 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: can't out a child to his or horn own parents, 149 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: because those parents, not government officials or employees, have the 150 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: ultimate authority for rearing their children. There's no such thing 151 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: as outing a child to their parents. Second, teachers are 152 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: mandated reporters under state law, if they think a child 153 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: faces abuse at home for any reason, they're required to 154 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: support to report their suspicions to child protective services or police. 155 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: And Third, the so called Safety Act violates the Federal 156 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: Education Rights and Privacy Act the FURPA Act nineteen seventy 157 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: two law that establish his parents' absolute right to access 158 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: their children's records. When can a judge please strike this down? 159 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: I can't believe Newsom's going to try to run for 160 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: president with this in his background. I know, I know. 161 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: I can't wait. I hope he does. I cannot wait. 162 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: Who are the most regulated states in the US? Jack, 163 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: This will shock you if you're an idiot. They are 164 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: New Jersey and New York and Illinois, but they all 165 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: fall the number one California. According to the Mercadis Center, 166 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: there are four hundred and twenty thousand some different business 167 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: regulations in California. Actually, the California Globe notes slightly snarkily 168 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: that California is listing ten ways California leads the nation. Well, 169 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: in business regulation, that's one of them. You have fiftieth 170 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: in the country for business regulation, or first, depending on 171 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: how you look at it. Once again this year, and 172 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: finally this, which is one of the more hilarious and 173 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: ridiculous cell phones I've ever seen. Gavy Newsom in his 174 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:25,599 Speaker 1: office just put out an online post mocking how advanced 175 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: California's plans were for a high speed rail system compared 176 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: to Texas's pathetic high speed rail line program. On Instagram, 177 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: Gavvy showed this. It's a big poster. It says California's 178 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: high speed rail leaves Texas in the dust. How many 179 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: miles four one hundred and ninety four San Francisco to 180 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: Los Angeles much longer than Texas's plan. Texas hasn't even started. 181 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: California's got one hundred and seventy one miles being developed, 182 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: one hundred whatever that means, one hundred nineteen miles being built, 183 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: fifty built structures. What Texas has no opening date and 184 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: no jobs created. California's early operating segment, Baker's Field to 185 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: Merced opens between twenty thirty and twenty thirty three. Sure 186 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: no freaking way will. Sure it does, and tooth benefit 187 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: if it did in ninety thirty three. In eight years, 188 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: In eight years, they're going to open up that little 189 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: Baker's Fit the Merced segment. They claim, Oh, that's tens 190 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: of billions of times, and that's a right point. So uh, 191 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: here's here's what the Mayor's the Governor's office said and 192 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: their big release last Wednesday. What's the difference between California 193 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: high speed Rail and Texas high speed Rail? California's system 194 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: is under construction, Texas is yet to break ground California's 195 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: transition from vision and ideas to active construction and tangible 196 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: economic benefits, while the Texas project remains a dream mostly 197 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: on paper. Despite the noise from Washington, that's right. The 198 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: only objection to the California quote unquote high speed rail 199 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: is noise from Washington. Despite the noise, California's high speed 200 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: rail is becoming real. It's another critical project, part of 201 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: the governor's Build More Faster agenda, delivering infrastructure upgrades than 202 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: thousands of jobs across the state. Despite the Trump administration's assaults, 203 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: both California and Texas are working to build high speed rail, 204 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: but only one state has built anything, California. All right, man, 205 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: good luck standing up on a debate stage against other 206 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: Democrats who want the nomination and them taking you apart 207 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: on that stuff. There will be raucous laughter, raucous gavy 208 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: as you try to defend your record. I mean, people 209 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: won't even bother like yelling at you angrily. They won't 210 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: need to. You'll be laughed out of the primaries. And I, 211 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: for one, just pray I live long enough to see it. 212 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: California is crumbling. So I just got a text from 213 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: a friend who said, I think I've got a sore throat. 214 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: I look forward to complaining to you about it for 215 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: the next six weeks. That is a shot at me 216 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: being sick for so long in my never any complain 217 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: about it. But I think I do have some news 218 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: you can use around this whole whooping cough thing, which 219 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: you do not want. And how have we let it 220 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: get into the country and in more or less have 221 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: been eradicated. It's kind of being hidden, the meedles and 222 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: the measles, the tuberculosis, the whooping cough that's come back 223 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: into the United States And why who would hide that? Why? Anyway? 224 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: More on that coming up. Stay here. 225 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 4: A new report list the happiest city in the US 226 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 4: as New York. Yeah, yeah, I don't know who I've 227 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 4: got survey the happiest city in the US was New York, 228 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 4: while the least happy dick splinter North Dakota. 229 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: All right, really, wow, So I'm asking a question here, 230 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: not making an assertion, because I don't know. Joe might 231 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: actually know. So we got a number of old timey 232 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: diseases that are making a comeback in the United States. Tuberculosis. 233 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: Remember last year we're talking about tuberculosis was setting records 234 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: that hadn't been around for like a century, measles, And 235 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: now because I've got it, I've been paying more attention 236 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: to it. Freaking whooping cough, which I didn't even know 237 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,119 Speaker 1: was actually a thing for adults anymore. We've been vaccinating 238 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: against it forever. It's part of the tea DAP you 239 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: get as a little kid. It's the p and the 240 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: tea DAP, And they came up with a vaccine for 241 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: it for for a long time ago because it's such 242 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: a horrible disease. It's terrible and it kills It's yeah, 243 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: if your baby, it can really kill you. But it's 244 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: a miserable disease. It's the worst thing I've ever had 245 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: besides cancer in my whole life. And the doctor told 246 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: me on Monday, he said, you might be halfway through. 247 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: You probably got a little You probably got a little 248 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: longer than that. So anyway, I'm on eight different medications. 249 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: It's insane. But so I was reading about whooping cough 250 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: and the statistics you get it having sex with a 251 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: whooping crane, right, that the stats from last year where 252 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: it was on the rise a lot from twenty three 253 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: to twenty four. Well, now this year we are we 254 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: have doubled the increase from last year to this year. 255 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: So twenty four is a big joke from twenty three 256 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: and now we've doubled it from twenty four? Is it 257 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: because we let in millions of people? The biggest migration 258 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: in world history? I say that every time because it's true. 259 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: The biggest migration in world history happened across our southern 260 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: border in a very short period of time. Did that 261 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: bring a whole bunch of unvaccinated people bringing diseases in 262 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: that we had kind of gotten rid of. Yes, plus 263 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: vectim of vaccine skepticism among Native born Americans. Yeah, the 264 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: two things in concert. Yeah, that's the explanation for the 265 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: explosion of all these old timy diseases that we thought 266 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: we'd gotten rid of. Yeah. One hundred percent. But like 267 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: the clearly the vaccine had worn off from me and 268 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: anybody over a certain age. It didn't matter before because 269 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna come in contact with whooping cough. Right. Yeah, 270 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: we don't really have time to explain that. I'm not 271 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: an expert anyway, But how herd immunity, if it's ninety 272 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: five percent or higher, it's weird. In effect, you don't 273 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: even need it as much because you're not going to 274 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: be exposed to it. But you've got to get to 275 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: that percentage to have that luxury. I think this should 276 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: get more attention. The vaccine hesitation in RFK junior bashing 277 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: is everywhere. The hey we let in a gazillion people 278 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: that aren't vaccinated, gets like no coverage whatsoever. Oh, I know, 279 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: we don't want to demonize migrants, jack or just looking 280 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: for a better life. The right wing might tend to 281 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: use that to escapegoat them, and we can't be a 282 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: part of that, so we'll just not report facts. I 283 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: feel like that aspect of the story should get more attention. 284 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: I hope you don't get wooing cough. Oh man, look 285 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: at these coffin now. Folks are strong and getty. In 286 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Miller was appointed to an independent watchdog committee 287 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: that tracked how COVID relief money was spent, so we 288 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: could tell right away it's like, oh, well that's all 289 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: going to get stolen. You saw it coming. Oh yeah, 290 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: I mean it was like they threw money in the 291 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: air and just let people run around and grab it. 292 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: That's from sixty minutes last night. This should be a 293 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: giant story. There should be hearings and you can get 294 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: so parches march, you can get people so fired up 295 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: about the latest Trump this or that. The story on 296 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: sixty minutes last night, Does that not have any halft 297 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: with the left and mainstream media? Freaking sixty minutes that 298 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: of just COVID relief money, a trillion dollars was stolen 299 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: A trillion. A trillion, Yes, and you can't you just 300 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: can't get anywhere with this. And that woman there says 301 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: that it's about three quarters of a trillion every year. Yeah, 302 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: and it's going to be approaching a trillion soon. That 303 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: gets stolen mostly by foreign governments because it's so easy 304 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: to rip off the government because they don't pay enough 305 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: attention to where money goes. But well they knew as 306 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: they were churning that money out that the safeguards were wildly, 307 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: almost hilariously insufficient. They knew that at the time. Well, yeah, 308 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: as you heard her say there, my first thought was, 309 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: oh wow, this is all gonna get stolen. That's what 310 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: she said. She works in the government, knows how it works. 311 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: It would get stolen. There's nothing you can do about it, 312 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: and people get on the higher taxes. We need the 313 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: rich to pay their fair share, and you can get 314 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: people so energized for like a news cycle over. I 315 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: don't know, a couple of hundred thousand here, there a 316 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: couple hundred million, or even tens of millions. It's nothing 317 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: compared to it trillion dollars, right, right, I don't know 318 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: what to say, I honestly don't. Uh it's worth Yeah, 319 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: sixty minutes was oddly, weirdly throwback ISHU yesterday with a 320 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: story that was honest, with one dopey exception, but with 321 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: a tone that would tend to be sympathetic to Doge 322 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: and Trump. The fact that it was true is reason 323 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,719 Speaker 1: enough to run it. But yeah, they ran that. Then 324 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: they ran a couple of other stories that were not 325 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: the least bit progressive. It was like it was fifteen 326 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah, it was very old timy. You had 327 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: the government fraud, a science story, and a celebrity profile. 328 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: That's way sixty minutes used to be every week. Yeah. So, 329 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: speaking of numbers, perhaps you've heard this already, the US 330 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: has agreed to lower base levels of tariffs on most 331 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: Chinese goods from one hundred and whatever it was, one 332 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: hundred and forty five percent down to thirty percent. Essentially 333 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: your kids getting thirty dollars again this year and each 334 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: one clutching a shiny new pencil. That's right. Meanwhile, China 335 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: will cut it to US levies down from one hundred 336 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: and twenty five points to ten percent. So the thirty 337 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: points thirty percent imposed by the US includes the ten 338 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: percent quote unquote reciprocal tariff, whatever that means at this point, 339 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: plus the twenty percent would you quit send in fentanyl 340 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: our way super bonus tariff. But the mostly toning down 341 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: of the trade war has reassured the world economy and 342 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 1: markets all over the world, and everybody's just joyful. And 343 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: check your four oh one k right now. In fact, 344 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: withdraw it all and quit your job. You're rich anyway. 345 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: So that's good news at least for the moment. And Jack, 346 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: your theory is the ninety day truce, Oh yeah, will 347 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: become semi permanent exactly with maybe a couple more tweaks. Yeah. 348 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: I think the big oh my god, this is going 349 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: to upend the world economy thing is over. So do 350 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: you remember last year or I think it was at 351 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: the very end of twenty twenty three, the International Criminal 352 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: Court whatever that is, announced that it was prosecuting Benjamin 353 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: not Netanyahu for war crimes. That was pretty controversial, and 354 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: the US was like, we're not going to extra item 355 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: if he comes to the country. We're not a signatory 356 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: to your wackadoodle court. Leave us alone. Well, it's gotten really, 357 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: really interesting. So two months after the October seventh attacks, 358 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: pressure was mounting on Kareem Khan, the chief prosecutor of 359 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: the ICC, to consider criminal charges against Israeli officials because 360 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: of the war and gossip pro Palestinian activists had labeled 361 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 1: him a genocide enabler, and a block of ICC members 362 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: in the developing world insisted that action was long overdue. 363 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: They pushed in blah blah blah. So Khan, who's a 364 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: hard charging British lawyer. He's in New York in early 365 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: December for the court's governing body meeting at the UN headquarters. 366 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: He's stung by the criticism. He's lashing out at his 367 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: team and one assistant, a woman in her thirties who 368 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: often traveled with him for her job, asked him to 369 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,959 Speaker 1: meet with asked to meet with him and to urge him, Hey, 370 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: you got to take it easy on staff. I realize 371 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: we're under a lot of pressure. Well, long story shorts. 372 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: She gets to his hotel suite and he touches her 373 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: sexually and rapes her. According to testimony, all right, this 374 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: is the guy again bringing charges against net and Yahoo 375 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: and there's the incident. Is one of multiple allegations, of course, 376 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: sexual intercourse that the woman has made against Khan. The woman, 377 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: who is married and has a child, alleges Khan performed 378 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: nonconcessual sex acts with her on missions to New York, Columbia, Congo, Chad, 379 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: in Paris and more. He's denying, and of course, but 380 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: the woman, who's a lawyer from Malaysia, stayed at the 381 00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: job because she didn't want to leave one of the 382 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: more most important offices in human rights law. She worried 383 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: she wouldn't be able to pay the medical bills of 384 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: her mother, who was dying of cancer, and she came 385 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: to a fear of retaliation from Khan. Also, as I recall, 386 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: she was like a super Palestinian activist and wanted to 387 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: be part of prosecuting the Israelis. Anyway, So the accusations, oh, 388 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. So just two and a half weeks after 389 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: Cohn learned of the allegations against him, he surprised Israeli 390 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: and US officials by announcing an arrest warrant for net Yahoo. 391 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: It was the first time in the history of the 392 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: court that they had sought a warrant for Western line 393 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: democratically elected leader, and Washington has been staunchly against this. 394 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: Both the partiscis you might guess. So. The timing of 395 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: the announcement has spurred questions about whether Cohn was aiming 396 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: to protect himself from the sexual assault allegations. The day 397 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: before announcing the warrant application, con abromptly canceled the try 398 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: to Israel and Gaza that he previously said was important 399 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: to make his decision. He says, there's no connection, but 400 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: anybody who might have testified against him, who is like 401 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: the ICC like super pro Palestinian has backed off on 402 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: the euro rapist stuff because they don't want to derail 403 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: the prosecution of the Israeli people. So this looks like 404 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: a serious, nasty, rapy political soap opera thing. It's amazing 405 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: how often these big international bodies are corrupt. I mean, 406 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: you would think, just statistically it wouldn't happen as often 407 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: as it does with the IOC, with the Olympics, the 408 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: WHO with health as we all saw around COVID and 409 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: everything else, the United Nations over and over and over 410 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: and over again. In this body here, you wouldn't think 411 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: it would happen this often, but it does. Yeah, it's 412 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: got to be. And I'll bet we have folks listening 413 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: who've worked with organizations like this who could really lay 414 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: it out for you. But it's got to be the power, 415 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: the international prestige. They're probably pretty damn decent budgets and 416 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: so you live, you know, in high style all over 417 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: the world, in the great capitals of the world. Plus 418 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: where's the accountability. Well, yeah, we're talking about you squander 419 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: or give away a trillion dollars of US taxpayer money, 420 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: and we have a system of accountability in this country. 421 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: Imagine being this vaguely understood international colossus that's funded I 422 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: guess by the UN or something. There's no accountability at all. 423 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: So this is getting into real Jordan Peterson territory. Here 424 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: are we all capable of this? I feel like you 425 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: could put me in charge of the IOC and I 426 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't be corrupt. I wouldn't take, you know, cash payments 427 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: to choose which city gets the next Olympics. And you 428 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: could put me in charge of the WHO and I'm 429 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: not gonna side with whichever country gives me the biggest 430 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: amount of money. And if you put me in charge 431 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: of this organization, I'm not going to rate the first 432 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: hot chick I come across because I think I can 433 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: get away with it. Well, look at you, polypure heart. 434 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: I'd be a monster. Oh my god, it'd be money 435 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: and prostitutes. I mean, you'd have to come across with 436 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: the hose as well. But how do you do up 437 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: with so many people in these positions who take advantage 438 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: of what you just explained. I mean, that's what I 439 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: don't get. I think. Well, first of all, I salute 440 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: you for your principles and your scruples. They are not 441 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: universally very high standards. I just threw out, Ah, well, 442 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: you're an earnest young man from the sticks in this country. Jack, 443 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: A big city boy like myself can educate you. I'll 444 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: tell you this. Some people are just corrupt and corruptible, 445 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: I think for a lot of people, and there are 446 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: all sorts of examples of this in life. It is 447 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: a step by step slide. And as you pass one 448 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: ethical milestone limits, I wouldn't do that, you know, I've 449 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: heard it described in dealing with addictions. Your list of 450 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: I would never's get shorter and shorter. And if you 451 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: are surrounded by a culture like the IOC, for instance, 452 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,719 Speaker 1: forever and probably now, let's not be naive. If you're 453 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: at the IOC and you're rising up through the organization 454 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: and you witness all the corruption and the luxury and 455 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: the just fawning that countries do you, Well, that's slide. 456 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: That'd be the easiest one for me to get on 457 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: board with, where I would think, who gives a crap? Yeah, 458 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: I would think you're gonna give me five million dollars. 459 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: Me and my family are set for life, and why 460 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: do I give a crap? Whether the Olympics are in 461 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: Paris or in London? Right, oh, Athens and then then 462 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: niece are fighting it out. Okay, what the hell do 463 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: I care? Right, who comes across with the most money 464 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: and hos. But that's a far cry from raping people. 465 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, although we've seen that affair amount too 466 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: among In fact, it came up in the context of 467 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: the Didty trial. Who is the diplomat? 468 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 5: Oh? 469 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: Was it?

Well, 477 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: you know, that's yet another argument for those of us 478 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: on the right who don't like the idea of international 479 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: bodies because they're you know, there are a step above 480 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: national bodies, which already have enough corruption in them, just 481 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: like you know, they have the answer to There are 482 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: a hell of a lot of really smart, well informed 483 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: people listening to the show right now also a fair 484 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: number of dunderheadsolute morons.

We would be held accountable, but they're not. 496 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's written into the law that they're not accountable. 497 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: I think I got something kind of interesting for you. 498 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: How come we're not working fifteen hours a week maximum 499 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: at this point? Came across me, so everybody, let's get started. 500 00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,479 Speaker 1: Came across this. Over the weekend, I say, eleven hours. 501 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: We'll finish strong. 502 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 4: Next A new report shows that there have been at 503 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 4: least nine incidents at Newark Airport where air traffic controllers 504 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 4: have lost contact with planes that were about to land. 505 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 4: But luckily it's Newark, so planes can just follow the smell. 506 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: So we talked a fair amount about AI last week. 507 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: Joe and I just both both got into chat GPT 508 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: and using that and have been pretty amazed by it, 509 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: and I'm fascinated by the whole topic. I got into 510 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: a couple of books over the weekend by Nick Bostrom. 511 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: He's written some of the most famous things about AI 512 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: and what the future could be. And this book that 513 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: came out last year called Deep Utopia was kind of predicting, like, 514 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: how is the world? I mean, if it illuminates all work, 515 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: what is that going to look like? Anyway, part of 516 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: what he was he started talking about in the book 517 00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: was keenes As in Kingsian Economics. Keens Wait back in 518 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: the thirties was writing how much he thought productivity was 519 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 1: going to explode over the coming decades, and then how 520 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: much less we were gonna have to work. And he 521 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: predicted that we would be able to produce somewhere between 522 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: four and five times as much by now, and so 523 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: therefore everybody'd be working a fifteen hour work week or less. 524 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: What he got wrong was one, he was way short. 525 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: We're more like eight times as productive as we were 526 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: in the thirties. What he got wrong was people wouldn't 527 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: be satisfied with the amount of stuff they had. People 528 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: would be willing to work as many hours or more 529 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: to have more stuff, which I find fascinating because that, 530 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: you know, why isn't that Why can't you extrapolate that 531 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: going forward with the whole AI thing. People aren't gonna 532 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: need to work. People aren't gonna be satisfied with a 533 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: medium sized house and the media, I mean, if you 534 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: less travel or whatever, they're gonna want more, more, more 535 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: and more and more, aren't they. So we'll all keep 536 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: working forty hours more or less, but we'll all have 537 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand square foot homes to carson a private jet 538 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: like that'll make us happy, or have visited every you 539 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: know city into the world. Yeah, eating all the rarest foods. Yeah, 540 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: we got to talk about this at greater length that 541 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: you know. It's funny as you were saying that, I thought, 542 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: you know, I have my entire life from when I 543 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: was quite financially strapped to now where I'm considerably more comfortable, 544 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: thank God. But I work more if I see a 545 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: reward for working more. I could have cut back at 546 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: various times in my life and had arguably enough, I suppose, 547 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: but I thought, well, if I bust my butt a 548 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: little bit more, I'll get more and have a little 549 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: more financial security. Or I can do this for my kids, 550 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: or you know, put this way for retirement or whatever. 551 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: I just isn't it interesting that he missed that? And 552 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: I could see how you would. You'd think everybody could 553 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: have that life they have now that they're pretty happy with, 554 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: and work fifteen hours a week and have all the 555 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: rest of the time to do what if they want. 556 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: People would rather work more and have more stuff. I 557 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: think we're just built to work and build and acquire. 558 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: I think you're right, Jack clas time stuff. 559 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 2: Jack and Joe live, goat Go, and if they don't 560 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 2: give cane, they'll be back tomorrow. 561 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: It's putting a bit of a fine point on it, 562 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: isn't it. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty. 563 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew 564 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: to wrap up the show for the day. Michaelangelo, our 565 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: technical director, We'll lead us off, Michael. 566 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just thinking, even if I could work less, 567 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 5: I think I'd still work a lot, just because you 568 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 5: got to have a purpose. You gotta have a reason 569 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 5: to get out of bed and do something, you know. Yeah, yeah, 570 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 5: it's so true. 571 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: Katie Greener steamed Newswoman as a final thought, Katie, I. 572 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 3: Was playing with chat gpt over the weekend and it 573 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 3: redesigned the entire. 574 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: Front walkway to my house and I'm going to go 575 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: with it. Yeah. Super cool boy. I've used it for 576 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: a handful things too. I just I'm a big fan. 577 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: Jack a final thought for us well, on that topic, 578 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: I was listening to a guy who said he used 579 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: chat GPT he needed to fix his grill, so he 580 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: took a picture of the grill. AI identified the model, 581 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: which parts were broken, where to find them on Amazon, 582 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: and ordered them for him. Yeah. Yeah, it's amazinging. My 583 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: final thought on the other end of the technological spectrum, 584 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: my kid's doing a study abroad thing for a month 585 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: in the UK for law school. One connection, with a 586 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 1: two hour layover, they lose the bag Temporari. Thank goodness. 587 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,280 Speaker 1: One connection, you got to take the bag from plane 588 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,240 Speaker 1: one to plane two. That's it, just one time, couldn't 589 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: get it right Major American airline, Armstrong can get wrapping 590 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: up another grueling four hour workday of whooping golf. So 591 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: many people think, so little time? See you tomorrow. Yep, 592 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: God bless America. I'm strong and gatty. What do we 593 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 1: want to be? Losers or winners? I won't win. We 594 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: smell like winning around here. I think your. 595 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 4: Star spangledosh, they are the true hero. 596 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 2: And you know what, everybody knows it. 597 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: So let's go out with a bang the boot edge Edge? 598 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: Are they drink tazel dout coffee?
