WEBVTT - D.E.I. Ain't It Great? 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.240 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Ketty. 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:17.280 Armstrong and Getty and no He Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:27.920 South Korean President Lee J. Meng hosted President Trump Today 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:32.440 for lunch, which included seafood salad tossed in thousand island dressing, 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.320 and long story short. Now there's a four hundred percent 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.760 tariff on Korea? 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:40.000 Is this? 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:44.600 So? 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:48.080 Trump met with President she for two hours. How did 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.760 it go? Here's his assessment. I guess on the scale, 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.400 I'm from zero to ten, with ten being the best. 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.320 I would say the meeting was in twelve. There you go. 0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:58.640 I think it was in twelve. 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.400 It's like given a hundred, it's it's it's a fanciful 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:06.480 number beyond even what the top limit was for assessment. 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:11.560 It's like turning your ampractical eleven. Yes, right, yeah, on 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.280 a scale of ten, it was a twelve. Well, we 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.440 will see where the tariffs end up. It's they kind 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.800 of put a pause on the one hundred percent tariffs 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.040 that were supposed to kick in on Saturday, which obviously 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.120 would have royaled the world of economy in a way 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.720 that you can't even imagine, and we're never intended to 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.440 actually happen, and they're they're gonna work out the details 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:38.399 later and we'll discuss that whenever it happens. There's so 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:42.080 many things going on in the world right now, as 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:47.280 you know that, it's just it's mind boggling if whether 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.720 it's the tariffs, or the rise of China or Russian Ukraine, 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.760 global economy, AI. 0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:01.320 Wow Ei Mundani, socialism, Marxism, Islamism. 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.800 So Zuckerberg got beat up pretty good the other day 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:10.119 by stockholders. I guess that we're not seeing the payoff 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.000 on all this AI investment, and so he gave a 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.960 big speech trying to convince them to calm down and 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:22.400 it will pay off. Bloomberg the Business website, had an 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:26.200 article out today saying AI is all that matters now. 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.720 For all the headlines today about the FED and interest 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.160 rates and all that sort of stuff, the only thing 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.000 that really matters is AI. It's either going to pay 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.200 off the way people think it's going to, or it's not. 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.520 And it gets into the details on that. This is 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:44.200 absolutely amazing, with Nvidia becoming the first five trillion dollar company, 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.840 Tesla getting close to an all time high. So the 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:55.119 Magnificent seven are your seven tech stocks. That's in Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:59.680 some Facebook, Google Meta Google. Yeah, that pretty much covers it. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:05.880 Those seven stocks are the main reason we set records 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.320 on a near daily basis in the stock market. They're 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:12.800 up twenty seven percent this year. That's a good return 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:20.000 for a year. That's after jumping sixty seven percent last year. Wow, 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:24.080 if I or you, if I or you or anybody 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.320 had taken every cent we had and like taking a 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.560 taking money out of our house and sold plasma or 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.240 done whatever we could have done to get more money 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:38.840 into those seven stocks. They they went up sixty seven, 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.360 twenty four and twenty seven percent so far this year. 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.120 I mean, that's just unbelievable. And it's either a bubble 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:49.520 or it's not. The vast majority of people think it 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.000 is a bubble, according to Bloomberg. 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.480 But that's not a reason to get out. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.640 As they quote some genius, the best way to make 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.960 money in Marcus is to spot a bubble early, hop 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.480 on board as it inflates, and then get out in time. Well, 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:05.440 of course that's. 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:10.000 A that's the problem. That last part. Oh oh do 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:10.440 you hear that? 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:13.960 Oh my god, but if you want to be burished, 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:15.600 and you must have a good reason why the bubble 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.440 is about to burst, and I'm not seeing any good 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:21.039 reason for the bubble to burst yet. Yeah, here's my experience, 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.440 and I'm no expert, but generally you don't see the 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.960 reason for the bubble to burst ahead of time, and 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.680 retrospect you think, oh, that's why. 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.039 Should have seen that coman or the explanation that you 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.800 hear in advance is one of seven that are vying 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:41.080 for acceptance, you know, in society. So yeah, I did 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.720 hear that guy saying that, but there are a bunch 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.160 of other guys saying the opposite. 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.320 Not to mention to further complicate. 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.760 It, it might be a bubble for half of those 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.960 companies and the other companies. 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:56.760 Bring it home, isn't so blurmberg. It's pretty expensive to 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.279 subscribe to it. It's like forty dollars a month to 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.560 get access to their information, and it's all. 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.320 Written in economic ease. 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.800 That makes me think they believe their audience is pretty 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:11.760 well educated and pretty serious about this sort of stuff. Okay, then, 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:16.080 isn't that a pretty childish explanation of investing the best 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.240 way to make money? Is to recognize a bubble, get 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.720 in early, and then get out right before it bursts. 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:23.839 Seems like the sort of thing you say to someone 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.200 like me, not to someone who's like an expert investor, 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.880 to win at poker, get really really good hands in 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.240 bed a lot of money. 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.599 Yeah, yeah, I know you're right. 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.599 So, I mean, if it's up twenty seven percent this 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.600 year after going up sixty seven percent this year, seems 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.280 like a lot of smart people would have thought, well, 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.360 this is now, it's the time to get up. I mean, 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.080 we wit a two thirds rise in this stock this year. 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.080 Last year, let's get out now, you know, missed out 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:53.240 on a twenty seven percentras. 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.000 Anyway, I know this is this I hate this discussion. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.760 It makes me so uncomfortable because I just I've got 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.440 this bad feeling that I ought to just convert everything 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.960 into gold bury it in the backyard or cash or 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.560 I don't know, something wamp them trade with the Indians side. 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.479 Just it feels so bubbly to me, and I'm gonna 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.039 kick the hell out of myself that i didn't listen 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.560 to my own good judgment. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.719 Well, I you know, if we're gonna play the what 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.400 if I wish I would have diverse, diversify, because that's 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.560 what all the experts tell me to do for long 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.120 term brilliance. I wish i'd have taken everything and put 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.200 it into the Big seven two years ago, when it 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.320 had doubled the year before, right. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:39.120 And you know, rode that wave. 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.360 I'd be in a much different position. Oh well, whatever, 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.240 you can't do that different. AI story, which I thought 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.960 was interesting, chat GPT is being sued by the parents 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.920 of this kid who killed himself. The sixteen year old 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.719 kid had killed himself, who they say, going back and 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:57.240 looking at his conversations with the chat GBT bought, the 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.320 chat GPT bought explained to the kid how to kill himself, 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.040 why he should kill himself, and how to write the 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:03.800 suicide note. 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.920 It came around to his way of thinking way too quickly. 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.800 Chat GPT says more than a million people a week 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:21.800 show suicidal ideation on their site, ideation being explicit indicators 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.640 of the potential planning or intentive suicide, like you're you're 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.160 more than just contemplating, which I was told by a 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.760 college professor is completely normal for all human beings to 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.840 contemplate it. Occasionally the actually coming up with a plan 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.920 and a timeline is a step further. Chat GPT says 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.720 a million people a week or indicating they're doing that. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.840 Now that might be part of their trying not to 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.000 be sued to death. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.080 Yeah, it's clearly defense. Yeah, this is a society not 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.000 an US problem. Yeah it might be true. 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.480 Also, Yeah, and then what are these AI companies supposed 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:57.960 to do with that? 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.640 If there's just a lots. 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.200 And lots of people are gonna go on GROC or 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.360 Claude or Chat GPT or whatever I'm saying. You know, 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.440 life sucks. I want to kill myself, and Groc is 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:12.760 gonna say, good idea. Here's the Locus local. Uh, it's 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.240 like the Norm McDonald joke. Here's the rope store. And 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.600 right next is the Creaky stool store. It's just down 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:18.000 the street. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.840 Well right, But you know, if I my buddy comes 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.120 and says I'm thinking and ending and all, and I say, 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:25.720 you know, I got a good sturdy rope in the 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.600 back of the garage here, let me give me a second, 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.680 I'll find it. I can't as a defense say lots 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:35.439 of people have suicidal ideation. I mean, come on, it's 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.160 Chat GPT do better. I know you're you've designed yourself 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:44.200 to kiss my ass. Like, great question. Perfect, I'll tell 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:48.040 you great follow up. Okay, I know that's part of 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.760 your thing you're trying to appeal. But if I say 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.040 I'm really depressed, I don't have a lot of friends, 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:54.880 I have no friends, and I think I want to 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:59.000 kill myself, terrific. Great idea. Here's how to get a rope. 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:04.600 You know, No, don't program it to do that. There 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.200 are a few keywords involved, although those can be gotten 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:08.199 around too, I realized. 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.839 But it's like when I was asking Groc questions about 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.680 theology and the Bible and God and stuff the other day, 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.520 and then I asked Groc, I said, do you believe 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.360 in God? And she said, oh, yeah, there's got to 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.240 be something more to life than just what we see here. 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.360 And I thought, there's no way you would say that 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.439 if I was asking you questions about Christopher Hitchens and 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.120 Richard Dawkins and atheism. 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.240 Right right, Yeah, you don't have any beliefs in anything. 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.000 You're a collection of circuits. Of course, sow's the human brain, 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.680 Jack Ba, I'm Joe Getty. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.960 Yeah, but we don't we are a collection of circuits 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.200 and all that sort of stuff, and we want friends 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:48.880 to like us. But if our friend comes to us 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.760 and says I'm thinking to kill myself, we don't say 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:51.840 I got a gun upstairs. 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:52.319 Hold on a. 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:57.280 Second, right, exactly, No, our algorithm says, oh, that's out 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:01.280 of the effing question. Or if your friend says, hey, 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.920 you know, I'm really turned on by like young girls, 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.600 I mean, like really really young girls, let's talk about that, 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:13.320 you would say, no, you're sick, We're not friends anymore. 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.959 GROC would say, here are the directions to the grade. 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:20.199 School, yeah, or something similar, or engage in one of 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:25.240 those quasi erotic chat sessions that are now who. 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.120 Is Elon Musk? Well, that's right. 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.120 There are a couple of different big companies, including chat 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.320 GPT that are or open AI I should say that 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:36.760 are now like, hey, everybody wants these damn erotic chat 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:42.520 bot things with you know, semi to full on porn 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.000 pictures generated, So I'm in that business. 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:55.280 Now, Wow, we didn't need more internet pornography for society. No, No, 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.240 you know it's funny. Uh. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.560 For some reason, I clicked in my head that in 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.760 the early days, especially the very very early days, Christianity 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:11.400 was a very small sect, and then it grew and 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.320 it grew, and it grew to being an enormously important 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:18.920 religion around the world. Still is it could go back 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:25.120 to being something like a fairly you know, a small 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:29.880 sect of people who reject the sin of the world 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.600 and live a very, very different life than the masses 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:33.160 of people. 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:39.360 Speaking of that, I've been reading Charles Murray's new book, 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:44.200 Taking Religion Seriously. It is fantastic if you're the sort 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:48.080 of person that like, well, this is what he said. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:52.240 He said, it's for the intellectual that feels weird about 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:56.280 believing in religion, because he's an intellectual and he went 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.679 off to Harvard and he said, I was taught very 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.960 early that smart people don't believe this stuff, and I 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.760 never really look back. But then he decided in his 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.360 fifties he wanted to take a closer look at it. 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.560 And the amount of research he's done on a whole 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:14.440 bunch of different topics around God and Christianity it's freaking fascinating. 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.960 And it's a four hour listen. I'm listening to the book, 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.080 so it's very accessible. It's not fick theology, but if 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:21.880 you like that sort of thing, it's among the best 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.800 I've ever come across Chryl. Charles Murray's a heck of 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.160 an interesting dude. Anyway, back to the before we take 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.200 a break. So you got the stocks rising the way 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.720 they are all around AI. Yet you've got this problem 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.640 of AI encouraging people to kill themselves or whatever. 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.000 Is that a fixable thing? I don't know. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.880 I mean, maybe the bubble bursts around. We can't fix hallucinations, 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.679 we can't fix it giving bad advice. There's just no 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.760 way around this. Maybe that's where the bubble bursts. I 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:49.120 don't know. 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:55.040 Yeah, well, yeah, I mean it's already a really great 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.040 tool and a profitable one day's pouring money into it 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.880 like it's going to be the world changer of all time, 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.160 way out of proportion to the quality of the product 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.439 at this point or the significance of the product. 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.680 The Nvidia CEO, where's the cool tom Ford leather jackets 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:12.320 all the time? He said the other day, people aren't 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.960 gonna lose their jobs to AI. They're gonna lose their 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.920 jobs to people who don't know how to use AI. Now, 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.280 of course he's got a you know, a real stake 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.560 in the game. But his suggestion was, you know, get involved, 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.920 start messing with this stuff and learning it and how 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.560 you can apply it in your job. Don't think I'm 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.000 getting on that train. That's how you end up losing 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:33.479 your job. That's what he says. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:40.000 We get a lot more on the waystair. We get this. 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.360 The woman is suing Sea Worlds for fifteen thousand dollars, 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.880 claiming she was on one of the roller coasters and 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.480 a duck hit her in the face, and for everyone 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.880 else it was the most entertaining thing they saw at SeaWorld. 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:57.720 Why the shot at Sea World? I don't know. 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:02.880 So KJP was the White House Press secretary for Joe 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:07.000 Biden during that weird administration. She's got a book out, 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:08.880 she's doing a book tour, and even the New York 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.720 Times says it is an absolute train wreck of a disaster, 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.680 and lefty publications are taking it apart. I don't know 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.000 if that's just mainstream Democrats turning on the whole Biden thing, 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.040 while at the same time, Gavin Newsom comes out yesterday 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.280 and says Joe Biden's the greatest president of law the 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:25.200 last century. 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.720 That's weird, but anyway, more on that later. 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.480 It's ridiculous, is what it is, so I found this 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:34.480 a really good reasoning by Abigail Anthony. She's writing in 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.120 the National Review about penn America. This is the organization 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.960 that comes out with their report every year about that 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.000 claims that there have been a certain number of banned books. 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:50.520 They're big against banned books, and she describes their methodology 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.800 and why it so scures the results. It's just an 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.200 excuse for the left to have ammunition against Republican legislatures. 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.920 For instance, America's new report for the twenty twenty four 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.120 to twenty twenty five school year, titled the Normalization of 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:09.880 Book Banning, records thousands of instances of book bans affecting 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.560 nearly four thousand unique titles across the country. But again 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:17.880 the numbers are wildly inflated. The main issue, she writes, 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.960 is that the following definitions are employed. Pet America defines 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.800 a school book ban is any tation and I'm sorry, 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.760 any action taken against a book based on its content 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:32.160 and as a result of parent or community challenges, administrative decisions, 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.080 or in response to director threatened action by government officials 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.640 that leads to a book being either completely removed from 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:42.440 availability students, or where access to a book is restricted. 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:46.320 Or diminished, diminished, right, right? 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.080 And then the school book bans take varied forms, including prohibitions, 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.360 as well as a range of other restrictions, which may 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:53.119 be temporary. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.440 So, because that number is really large, four thousand, there's 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:57.400 no way that it's that big. 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:02.360 It's actually it's some closer to oh, seven thousand instances, 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:06.000 four thousand unique titles, one more sentence, real quick. For example, 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.040 if a book that was previously available to all now 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.560 requires parental permission or is restricted to a higher grade 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.000 level than the educators initially determined, that is a ban. 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.680 Right, Okay, So there are four thousand books that have 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:24.320 been banned or diminished. Okay, well, how many of them 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.360 were diminished? And what the hell do you mean by diminished? 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.480 You went from saying fifth graders in below could read 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.400 this to saying seventh graders in below. 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:32.080 Big freaking deal. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:38.120 Well, right, and Abigail points out age appropriateness. 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.400 Is not a ban of a book. 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:41.640 Third graders shouldn't be reading this. Let's put it in 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:46.000 the middle school library. That's a book ban. Not to mention, 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.560 she points out, you can get all of these books 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:52.720 in less than twenty four hours on Amazon, so it's 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:58.080 banned in what sense free to children in school libraries 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.760 when it's inappropriate. Yeah, this is not exactly Nazi book 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:03.400 burning here, folks. 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.600 Phony if you're a Democrat in the New York Times 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.960 thinks your book tour sucks, you are not doing well. 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.160 We'll get to that a little bit, among other things. 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.880 Stay here, armstrong and getdy. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.960 The three one swing in a line drive and that's 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.600 a base hit in the right field. There comes a 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:26.120 menues around thirty's coming into score, Guerrero to third. It's 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:30.639 an RBI single for Bobasht and it's five one Blue 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:32.520 Jays here in Game. 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:38.080 Five, quieting the Dodgers crowd. Uh, this is a story. Sorry, 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:39.159 Star Wars geeks. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:43.960 Every time I hear Boba Shet, I think Boba Fett a. 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.240 Wacky minor character. Anyway, back to you, I'm really digging 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:47.040 the World Series. 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.640 I've watched pretty much every pitch, and it turns out 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.480 a lot more people are than having quite a while 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:54.280 for whatever reason, because it's a Dodgers and show aotani 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.960 and I don't know what are people are, so it 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.400 could be a little people are so sick of everything else. 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.560 Like I mentioned, the other day, I was wearing a 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:03.720 Dodgers hat and the number of people that came up 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.480 to me say, oh, you see that game last night. 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.439 The first shared experience I've had with random people, and 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:10.760 I don't know how long. 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:15.119 And a shared I was gonna say, non adversarial experience. 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:19.520 Even though sports is adversarial, the enjoyment of it isn't. Yeah, 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.399 you know, if I got some friends who were big 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.760 Eagles fans, we can talk about football and kid each 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.560 other about our rivalries, but we have that shared enjoyment 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:29.840 of it. 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:31.679 And man, we don't have enough of that in this 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:32.480 country anymore. 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.840 Up in Toronto, a full third of the humans that 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.120 live in Canada had watched the two home games. 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.440 I'll bet those number. Half of the Moses, Well, I'll bet. 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:43.840 Those numbers are gonna go up. They'll have half the 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.840 country watching when they have a chance to win a 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:47.560 World series. 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:49.399 Tomorrow night, I guess. 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:54.120 Joe's gonna tell us a story about their pitcher, which 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:55.280 is something coming up. 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:59.440 But oh, he's a unique bird man, unbelievable. He's set 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:03.680 records that go back to Fort Host McGillicuddy back. 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.520 In the nineteen aughts. It's unbelievable. 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.360 So we got another stupid political book out. I don't 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.560 know who buys these things. I think you buy him 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.200 to set them on your coffee table. I don't believe 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:18.399 anybody ever reads them, or they only get printed to 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:20.760 be put in the front of the news stand at 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:22.280 the airport to get you to come in and buy 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:22.800 some gum. 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:26.280 I've never understood these political books. I think a lot of. 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:31.439 The purchases are bulk purchases by various packs could be 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:32.960 and political supporters. 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:34.400 It's kind of end around bribes. 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:39.639 The White House press spokeswoman for Joe Biden, Kreem Jean Pierre, 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.560 known as KJP, has got a book out and it's 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.240 been a mess, according to the New York Times. 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:45.800 And this is a. 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.320 Unless the title of the book was I was Awful 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:49.159 at my job. 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:50.280 It's misleading. 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.000 This is from a New York Times news story. This 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:58.080 isn't an opinion piece. This is the politics reporter just 0:19:58.119 --> 0:19:59.879 commenting on how the book tour is going for k 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:05.600 The name of the book is Independent because she switched 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.280 her affiliation from Democrat to Independent. 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:09.120 After she left office. 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:13.280 Oh bold, But the subtitle is A Look Inside a 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:17.200 Broken White House, which I find interesting because apparently toward 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:20.760 the end of one of her interviews recently, they because 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.000 they ask her about Joe Biden and all these different things, 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.800 and she didn't see any signs of him faltering in 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.240 any way whatsoever, And she didn't see any signs of 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.200 this or that, or she wasn't around for this or that. 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.640 And then the interviewer asked. 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.800 Her at some point, so, in what way was it 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:37.760 a broken white House? 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:40.360 I mean, that's the subtitle, but you've not given any 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:43.199 indication of And she said, well, I'm referring to the 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:44.000 Trump White House. 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:49.040 I live in the present. What wait? What you were 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:53.480 the press secretary for a foreign administration. 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:55.520 You write a book that says a look inside a 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:58.200 Broken White House. You don't have anything to say about 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.520 a broken white House? And then when you're ask about it, 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:02.520 you claim, oh, I'm talking about the Trump White House. 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:06.200 What but you're not in that white house? 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:06.359 Right? 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.320 Heah, you don't have any You don't have any insight 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:12.560 more than I do watching television about That's why childlike claim, 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.800 isn't it. Well, that's what's That's why they're calling it 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:18.200 a train wreck. They go through a whole bunch of 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:24.679
