1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and

3
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 1: Jackie Enough he arms the drum studio. C say on

4
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: what I like to call a little Wednesday in a

5
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the Armstrong

6
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: and Getty Communications Compound. And today we're under the tutelage

7
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: of our general manager, Tariffs, recession, dahn a pe root angst.

8
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: You know what I think I might do. I might

9
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: led Dogs of the Apocalypse. Yes, I might get a

10
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: I might get a cyberbeast and get a personalized license

11
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: plate that says doge. And then just get ready to

12
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: repair all the keying of my car and ilp to

13
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: carry extra tires in the back because they're constantly being slashed.

14
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: You'll be rolling and trolling in your monsters, rolling and trolling. Yes,

15
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: I had heard. Uh Hannity said he's gonna buy a

16
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: couple of tesla'sn't given to friends. Trump said he's gonna

17
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: get one. So it's really becoming a statement sort of thing.

18
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: Well I always was. It always was a statement thing,

19
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: way more than a practical thing. For a lot of people,

20
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: and so now it's just gone the other direction, but

21
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: a wildly different statement. Yeah, I like this maneuver better

22
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: when you're a little younger and you're fighting days, weren't

23
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he as far behind you. I don't

24
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: think fighting of these. He's just gonna stand there some

25
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: slashing your tie, hail eaten, probiotic taken, limp wristed lefties.

26
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: But they might slash my tires. So you're thinking they're

27
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna have their little Linguini arms on away at

28
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: your tires and you're gonna walk up and discover it.

29
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: And just whoof aasses? You gotta admit though, the biggest,

30
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: most ridiculous Tesla they make with a Doge license plate

31
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: would be pretty good. From a distance, you could you

32
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: can mistake one of the Tesla models for you know,

33
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: a Toyota or so who knows what else? Not the

34
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: cyber truck, No, no, no, no, definitely not. And and

35
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: if it becomes like a rolling middle finger to the

36
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: idea of big government, that might be my car, and

37
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: that might be where it's going. Man. I watched the

38
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: interview with Elon yesterday, and we're gonna have a whole

39
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: bunch of clips of that. But first of all, my

40
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: phone ding me tornetto please silence your devices. He was

41
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: talking about the number of death threats he gets now

42
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: and just how difficult it is to travel around and

43
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: everything like that. And one of the reasons he's posting

44
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: everything online is he wants people to say, Okay, you're

45
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: so angry at me, you're hearing him a Nazi. You're

46
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: hearing all these things. Go to the website and then

47
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: tell me which of these things that I say we

48
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: ought to cut that you disagree with and we'll argue

49
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: about it. You know, which of these things do you

50
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: think I'm wrong about, and then we can have a

51
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: conversation about it. That's what I'm trying to do. He said,

52
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm concerned somebody out there who doesn't pay attention to

53
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: this is gonna hear I'm a Nazi and kill me. Right. Yeah,

54
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: it's another great example. And this is so troubling. It

55
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: makes me just want to vanish into the woods and

56
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: watch the squirrels cowort as usual. But the idea of

57
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: we choose a narrative and then we choose our facts

58
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: based on our choice of narrative is so true in

59
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: so many of the big topics going on right now,

60
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: including the Doge thing, are the Ukraine thing, or the

61
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: pro or the Israel Hamas thing, or even the tariff thing,

62
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: which lefties usually are in favor of, but now all

63
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's definitely awful, right right? Yeah, what

64
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: an interesting topic that is? That the whole tariffs and protectionism,

65
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: if you want to call it that, or responding to

66
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: the terrible disservice disservice globalism did to a lot of

67
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: American workers. It's it's definitely a complex weave of predictions

68
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: and economic principles which are imperfect at best. Hence the

69
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: nickname for economics is the dismal science is and it

70
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: has everything to do with the huge pivot in history

71
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: that the globe might be taking, right right? Can you

72
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: think of anything more provocative than Doge as a personalized

73
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: license plate on the cyberbeast? That's pretty good. That's good. Yeah,

74
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: it's pretty good, especially where I live. How about t

75
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: r MP Oh wow, four k n G or is

76
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: that too many lotters? Trump for king? Oh my god? Yeah,

77
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: that would be just being provocative. I couldn't back that

78
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: up with my own rhetoric. I mean, I believe in Doge.

79
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: I do not believe Trump should be king. Okay, well,

80
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: all right, you've got to be more specific in your instructions.

81
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's see now. Oh my god, yeah, that

82
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: would be horrible if something uh how about something that's

83
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: spelled out lib tears where you live, big college town?

84
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Oh jeez, sorry, back to back to a sense. Yeah,

85
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something dark. We don't want something dark.

86
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe

87
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: Getty on this it is Tuesday. We're already into March eleventh,

88
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty five, where I'm strong in getting

89
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: we approved of this program. Let's begin then, officially, according

90
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: to FCC rules and regulations, the show starts at Mark

91
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: and I guess we're going to find out who was right.

92
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: Right.

93
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: If Donald Trump is right, then over the course of

94
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: the next couple of years, this thing will end up

95
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: paying off. And if he's wrong, then voters are going

96
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: to say, I elected you to bring down prices. You're

97
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: clearly fixing the border. That's good, but you're not bringing

98
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: down prices. You're making my life harder. And I'm upset

99
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: with that. And there's an election coming out next year,

100
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: and that's when people can register their disagreement.

101
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: So that was on MSNBC last night. Our old friend

102
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: David Drucker, who's now with the Dispatch we used to

103
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: have on all the time. They weren't really digging some

104
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: of the things he was saying, because he was giving

105
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: out the possibility that this might work and be a

106
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: good idea, And of course they were not digging that

107
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: on MSNBC, but in the way that David Drunker always

108
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: did on this show, he laid it out pretty plainly. Well,

109
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: if Trump is right, in a couple of years we

110
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: see that this works, it's going to be really great,

111
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: right right. I was actually quite pleasantly surprised on a

112
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: similar topic. I was listening to NPR briefly to punish

113
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: myself for the terrible things I've done, and they had

114
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: a surprisingly frank, non partisan guest on who explained, you know,

115
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: in similar fashion, that look, this may well be a

116
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: very successful strategy, but we need to find what we're

117
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: seeking is a new equilibrium, which I thought was a

118
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: good term to throw around in that we're going to

119
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: restructure the nature of imports and exports domestic production and

120
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: consumer spending in a way that does not you know,

121
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: necessitate being dependent on China, and it will absolutely be disruptive,

122
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: but eventually we'll come to a new equilibrium. And the

123
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: trick is to convince people that that investments and the

124
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: you know, chaos too strong a word, but well, you know,

125
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: the upheaval that comes with it will pay off in

126
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: the long term and we'll all be better off and

127
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: hang in there. The problem being the timetable though, you know,

128
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: I said a couple of years. Can that even conceive it?

129
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I doubt it. I doubt it. And I

130
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: think Trump's argument would be, or the people that are

131
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: backing this would be, this is going to happen anyway,

132
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: just in a different way. We're going to be forced

133
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: into it suddenly at some point when the big dust

134
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: up with China comes, or we can kind of do

135
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: it on our own and have more control over it,

136
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: I think would be the argument. Having said that, just briefly,

137
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: I don't know why we're jacking Canada around, Like, yeah,

138
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: that's hard. That's one that one's a little hard to agree.

139
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: That's that's that's his trade agreement that he's saying is

140
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: wildly crazy and we've got to punish Canada and whipsaw

141
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: and ally back and forth. Trump he did that agreement.

142
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: Oh do we have that new guy that it's gonna

143
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: be prime minister? Man, he's us. He's way better spokesman

144
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: for Canada than Justine Trudeau was crazy smart guy. Yeah. Well,

145
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: and just he just sounds like a man. I mean,

146
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: I hate to be just that base, but he sounds

147
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: like a man. He said, Canada stands up for Canada.

148
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna push us around. When Justin Trudeau says that

149
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: sort of thing, he's like, yeah, whatever, I can't call

150
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: you a homophobic because Trudeau is is straight allegedly, you're

151
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: a whatsophobic. I am wassophobic, especially for national leaders man,

152
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: for leader of a country. Yeah, so he's a bit

153
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: limp of wrist and delicate of pante and feathery off hair.

Speaker 1: and hours an hours, sometimes all the way till morning.

169
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: And it's been driving me absolutely not that dreg going

170
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: a bit anyway. On the suggestion, I'd ordered some Valerian root,

171
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: which is a popular thing to take in magnesium, which

172
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: is a pipler thing to take anyway. I don't know

173
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: which of those are both in combination, but two nights

174
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: in a row, I've slept the entire night with just that.

175
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: No no, no doctor prescribed drugs, no, you know, giant

Speaker 1: Is it valarium or valerian vlarium? I think with im

178
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: am anyway, they smell my My son has been taking

179
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: him for a while. It's funny. He's been taking him

180
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: for sleeping and I never thought maybe I should try it,

181
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 1: because it is. I do have an anti hippie bias.

182
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: It's weird. I'm way more likely to take something that

183
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: comes from some big pharmacy company then Sackler family. Then

184
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: I am, yeah than I am for something that you know,

185
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: hippies recommend me that you can get it to G

186
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: and C. Anyway, So is the other one magnesium magnesium,

187
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: But my son calls it stinky feet the vlarium root

188
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: because it smells awful. You open up the bottle and

189
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: you think, I don't even know if I can take

190
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: this bill. You're gonna get it down fast. But I've

191
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: slept all night long. It's been awesome. Good. Oh okay,

192
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: Well I am. I hope that's today. Yeah, I hope

193
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: it's news you can use. I hope it doesn't cause,

194
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, brain bleed or anything to mention that I'm

195
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: bleeding out a number of orifices. God, I was just

196
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: going to ignore that side effect. I woke up.

197
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: Twice last night, once in the middle of the night

198
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: and the second time fifteen minutes before the alarm was.

199
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: Supposed to go off. That's so maddening. Oh no, you

200
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: feel like you're cheated. Yeah, yeah, damn it. Hey, let's

201

Speaker 1: figure out who's reporting what it's the lead story with

202
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: Katie Green. Katie, Well, we'll start with NBC.

Speaker 2: The White House is using tariffs to restore manufacturing, and

204
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: data suggests it will take some time.

205
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: I yeah, Trump is both the greatest political messenger of

206
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: all time and then sometimes the worst. I wish he

207
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: would in a maybe you should have somebody else do it,

208
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: give a speech like really explaining the plan, how long

209
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: it's going to take, you know, don't be frightened off

210
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: by the you know, the six month longer year long

211
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: or whatever, disruption of the stock market or something. I

212
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: wish he'd give a speech like that. Yeah, exactly, Well, yeah,

213
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: and why it's worth it, Just what this great endeavor

214
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: is that we're doing. I've read an interesting account of

215
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: a couple of builders, like small time builders, court just

216
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: get whip sawed by the tariffs and there they come.

217
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: So they buy up a bunch of lumber and have

218
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: to store it. Then the terriff are pulled back again.

219
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: And these are small business people who are just you know,

220
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: they're not at despair at this point. But they're highly

221
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: discouraged and confused what Trump's doing or why he's doing it.

222

225
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I was saying that incoming new prime ministers

226
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: to talking tough. You want to fight, whether it's he said,

227
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: you want to fight, whether it's hockey or tariffs. We're

228
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,360

Speaker 2: Iran, China and Russia launch annual joint naval drills as

234
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 2: Trump up ends Western alliances.

235
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: Wait, I ran, god, like half a dozen you know

236
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: speedboats headline from CNN up ends Western alliances. God, that

237
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: makes me so mad. So they haven't participated in NATO

238
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: in decades. And then when you call him out on it,

239
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: you've up indoed the alliance. Whatever? Yeah? Yeah. From The

240
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,520

00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: Columbia University professors cancel classes in solidarity with pro hamas

242

Speaker 2: activist in Ice custody.

243
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: That's an interesting one. I saw a good deep dive

244
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: on the whole you know, free speech on campus versus

245
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: what this guy's been saying thing yesterday. It's to me,

246
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: it's not one clear cut what do you think though, No,

247
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: it's not. Actually you've anticipated one of the conversations. I

248
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: wanted to have our friends that fire the Foundation for

249
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: Individual Rights and Expression are protecting this guy saying what

250
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: he said does not cross the line. Interesting, I think,

251
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: and it's funny. This is always presented as zero sum.

252
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: It's a battle in the media. I think asking the

253
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: question when do people on visas cross the line into

254
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: advocating for terrorist organizations and can we boot their ass out?

255
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: This is part of the process of answering that question.

256
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: So it's not necessarily about this guy. Let's work through

257
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: it then start booting people out. That takes a couple

258
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: of hearings or court rulings or whatever. That's fine.

259
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: From The New York Post, Dylan Mulvaney's shallow, narcissistic, nauseatingly

260
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: pink memoir is an insult to women.

261
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I read that review. I'm surprised. I would think

262
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: if Dylan mulvaney wrote a memoir, it would be like

263
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: a tree falling in the forest, you know, knock yourself out,

264
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: have a good time with your garage full of unsold books.

265
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: But CBS gave him five and a half him her

266
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: whatever em she was a dude. Now as a girl,

267
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: I am this is a time to become a girl.

268
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: It's impossible. This in the time change. I can't remember

269
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: which you do not have a uterus. But the CBS

270
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: gave the book full coverage like it was a major

271
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: literary moment. Dylan Mulaney's memoir. There is nobody who is

272
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: honestly motivated to read that book because they want to

273
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: know about that person's life. It is all tribal signaling. Sure, Katie,

274
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: how do you feel about the term uterine? Uterine can

275
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: describe what you are? You're a uterine. Just shove it. No,

276
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: it's not sexy. I'm trying.

Speaker 1: you just wanted to really fast talk. They had a

307
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: good stereo and it was super fast. How dare you

308
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: don't you know? That cause them from political signaling strange times. So,

309
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: speaking of uh transportation, a handful of stories from the

310
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: domestic scene that I thought were interesting. Bags no longer

311
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: fly free on Southwest Airlines. Very soon they will start

312
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: charging passengers for check luggage, sell basic economy tickets as

313
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: Southwest is becoming much much more like it's competitor airlines

314
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: and just wasn't making money. Yeah, and I wonder if

315
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: that's going to work for them. I have no idea.

316
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: So well, the one thing they aren't like other airlines

317
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: is there's no you know, business class, first class, anything

318
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: like that. So what you could do prior, if you're

319
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: rich or a business person or whatever you know, is

320
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: get some sort of get on the plane first thing.

321
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: But if that goes out the window, I don't I

322
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. There was still loyalty status

323
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: and if you're in whatever tier, you can get one

324
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: bag free, or if you buy the priceist tickets, you'll

325
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: get two bags free. But that's if you're a child

326
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: or a fool, if you don't understand the flaw in

327
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: that sentence, Yes, if you buy our priceier ticket, you

328
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: can have bags for free. Now anyway, moving along completely

329
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: different topic, Baseball has a fastball problem. Namely, it's become

330
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: infinitely clear statistically speaking. And if you're a longtime baseball fan,

331
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: you know baseball is utterly fascinated and fixated on statistics,

332
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: always has been for whatever reason. It's one of the

333
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: rembatting average is figured to a thousandth of a percentage

334
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: or whatever. That's one of the reasons. A lot of

335
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: people really like it. Yes, but so they've decided that

336
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: absolutely throwing very very hard is the most effective way

337
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: to pitch. You know, I just worshiped guys like Greg Maddox,

338
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: who baseball fans remember, who didn't throw terribly hard, but

339
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: he is a master of deception and breaking pitches and

340
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: hitting his spots and that sort of thing is his

341
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: sort of pitching is a rarity these days. They just

342
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: want guys who are who can just bring fire to

343
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: a problem with that is, the human arm has limits,

344
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: and so these young hard throwers are just ruining their

345
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 1: arms one after the other and they're not sure what

346
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: to do about it. Also, batting averages are dropping enough

347
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: that the offense is going out at the game because

348
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: I mean, for instance, well they point out that, yeah,

349
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: that's getting too much into the weeds. I'll just go

350
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: with these stats. At the Perfect Game National Showcase, which

351
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: is America's biggest gathering of high school talent, it's like

352
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: where all the scouts are. Okay, In twenty fifteen, there

353
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: were five guys who could throw even a single pitch

354
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: at ninety five miles per or five guys, and I

355
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: guarantee you in nineteen ninety it was zero anyway, or

356
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: maybe one freak five guys. Last year was thirty six.

357
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: And pitchers are getting hurt at an alarming rate. So

358
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: are you saying that, dudes? So when people weren't throwing

359
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: that hard, they just weren't trying putting fitness technique and

360
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: just you know, more or less throwing as hard as

361
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: you possibly can, which feet always do. Just throw as

362
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: you don't swing a golf club, just as hard as

363
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: you can, or you know, because it's hard to keep

364
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: it under control. Well right, yeah, and there's something to

365
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: be said for having, you know, one little more gear

366
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 1: in case you need overpower somebody. But the problem is

367
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: if you did that all the time, you ruin your

368
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: arm and everybody knew it. Well, like did you see

369
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: And again that if you're not a baseball fan, you

370
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: don't of this means. But Garrett Cole, who the Yankee

371
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: spent a gazillion dollars on, he threw like five pitches

372
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: the other day in uh, you know, before Baseball League

373
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: whatever they call it, the Grapefruit League. And he's out

374
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: out for the year. Tommy John surgery, may never pitch again.

375
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: That is the lead of this story. Yeah. As a

376
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: matter of fact, Yeah, the total number of pitches recorded

377
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: at one hundred miles per hour or more has gone

378
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: from two hundred and fourteen in two thousand and eight

379
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: to thirty three hundred last season. Oh wow, that's a

380
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: major change in the game. And I remember when it

381
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: was a really big deal if anybody could throw one hundred. Ever,

382
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: so that's going on thirty times as many. Yeah, so,

383
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: and it's changed the game, and not necessarily for the better,

384
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: you know what they do about always wanted I've always

385
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: wanted to be able to see one hundred mile an

386
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: hour pitch but it's got to be some sort of

387
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: machine that I can guarantee isn't going to hit me.

388
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: But I would love to stand there in the plate

389
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: and see a hundred mile in hour pitch, just see

390
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: what it looks like. Yeah, yeah, I don't seem like

391
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: ninety three ninety four and as like an eighteen year old.

392
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh lord, I mean it was

393
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: terrifying and Nihon unhittable. Well, the idea of being able

394
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: to pick up the spin of the ball and make

395
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: a decision whether I'm going to swing or not, it

396
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: just seems crazy. Yeah, it's an instantaneous judgment that one

397
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: one hundredth of percent of the population can do effectively.

398
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: It's a hitting a major league pitch is way harder

399
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: than it looks. Anyway of more significance, perhaps to us

400
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 1: in our real lives. The new weight loss drugsure ozimpics

401
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: and Wigovi's, the glp ones semi glue tides, I think

402
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: they call them maybe something like a new wonder drug.

403
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: Oh wow, for weight loss or weight loss. It may

404
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: be like a I hate to overstate this, an amazingly effective.

405
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: I almost said magical, but I'm a grown ass man.

406
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: I deal with facts jacket. All right, this not some

407
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: sort of card game geeks play in her mom's basement. Okay,

408
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: this is serious talk about pharmaceuticals. And a strong pushback

409
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere here against myself. Yeah. So, a

410
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: fast growing body of research signals potential health benefits of

411
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: GLP ones. We all know what they are. That includes

412
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: age related conditions like Alzheimer's, osteoarthritis, certain cancers, and even mortality. Well,

413
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: as the words came out of my mouth, I realized

414
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: the flaw. And what I'm saying is that it's obviously

415
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: true because a gazillion horrible things happened to you if

416
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: you're overweight. So if you're not overweight, all of those

417
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: things improve, obviously, Yeah, including some kind of two step

418
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: not the lightful country dance, but you know, two steps

419
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: down the line effects. Because well, let me read the

420
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: sentence and then we'll fill in the blanks. Let's see

421
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: last year, will go v You won a new Food

422
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: and Drug Administration approval to reduce the risk of heart

423
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: attacks and other cardiovascular events, and Ozepic was recently improved

424
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: approved to help kidney disease patients. The most important part

425
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: of this is that and this is partly because it

426
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: helps with weight loss and eliminating obesity. Is that excess

427
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: weight can trigger chronic low grade inflammation, which has been

428
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: linked to increased risk for a host of conditions from

429
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: heart disease to dementia. Obesity drives aging, says one scientist

430
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: who is very fas in this film, how fat you

431
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: got to be to get on those in the insurance

432
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: covers that that's the problem, right, for insurance to cover it,

433
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: you have to be a certain level of obese, and

434
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: then if you just try and even then, I think

435
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: it's pretty expensive for a lot of you. We've we've

436
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: taken texts on this over the last year or so,

437
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: and and a lot of you are paying four figures

438
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: a month, which is a lot. Of course, if it

439
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, improves your life in the way that it could,

440
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: it might be worth it well, and decreases your illness

441
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: in the way that it could, which is directly to

442
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: the insurance company's bottom line. So the point they will

443
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: save money by paying. So there you go. That's the

444
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: good news for all of this on this is that

445
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: if they're paying less in the future for whether it's

446
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: a knee replacement or blood pressure medicine or whatever the

447
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: hell it is. It might be in their best interest

448
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: to have everybody not being overweight. That's fantastic. And then

449
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: I was also thinking four figures a month, who would

450
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: spend that Well, there's a lot of people with car

451
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: payments that high, are approaching that high. Would you rather

452
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: drive a nice car or be thin every day? I'd

453
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: drive a crappy car and go with the thinner. Well

454
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: and getting back to the you know, because it's much

455
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: more than being thin at this point. Researchers at Case

456
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: Western Reserve University, which sounds more like a wine than

457
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: the university, Case Western Reserve, they tried eighteen. I'll have

458
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: the case. This is a special evening. Let's have the

459
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: Case Western Reserve. They found it among older patients with

460
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: type two diabetes, semi glue tide, semi glue tide, these

461
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: drugs were was associated with a forty to seventy percent

462
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: lower risk of Alzheimer's diagnosis over three years than other

463
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: diabetes medications. You know, it's funny yesterday when we were

464
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: talking about kids and all their problems with you know,

465
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: what caused autism and all these different things and someday

466
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: throughout obesity, and I thought, yeah, it could be maybe

467
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: obesity is the Alzheimer's or anxiety and depression in kids,

468
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: or all these different bags. This is a new way

469
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: for the species to live and procreate. For what it's worth,

470
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: they quote a couple of scientists saying, hey, you know,

471
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: this has a drawback or two that are fairly significant,

472
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: so we need to study it in healthy populations and

473
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: get an idea. Can't hold your mud? Is that the drama? Wow?

474
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: Wow to the toilet humor? They don't say that specifically,

475
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: lean muscle mass loss, et cetera, but it's certainly a

476
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: promising area for research. You're much less likely to have

477
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: type two diabetes. On the other hand, you can't hold

478
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: your mud? Okay, g may get a cork or something. Wow,

479
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: what's the matter with you? This is find important medical

480
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: breakthrough talk? All right, but I find you're dressing me

481
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: down much more disgusting than my original comments. What I

482
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: will let the people be the judge of that, you

483
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: crack pot. And one more brief story the Department of

484
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: Homeland Security back to the whole doge thing and then

485
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: Trump and the rest of it. Some of it has

486
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: making me nuts, but a lot of it is making

487
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: me very happy. The DHS said, is it is ending

488
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: collective bargaining for TSA officers. In a release obtained by

489
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: Fox Business, DHS said the TSA has more people doing

490
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: full time union work rather than performing screening functions at

491
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: eighty six percent of US airports, so these because of

492
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: federal worker laws. And sixty minutes had an awful piece.

493
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't even watch it on Up with the Public

494
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: Employee Unions the other night. But these people are paid

495
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: by tax payers to work full time on union matters.

496
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 1: It's part of the collective bargaining agreement. And the department

497
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: cited a recent TSA employee survey which found that more

498
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: than sixty percent of poor performers are allowed to stay

499
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: employed and not surprisingly, continue to not perform. And a

500
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 1: lot of them just work on union stuff anyway at

501
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: taxpayer expense. And they're mean and surly, and it takes

502
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: forever to get through security, so they're working on it. Interesting.

503
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: We've got mail bag on the way, and of course

504
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: you can text anytime. I just have. I can feel

505
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: it in my bones. It's gonna be a good show today.

506
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: Stay here, talk a little of the reaction to stock

507
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: market punditry things. The new Prime Minister of Canada said

508
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: yesterday around all the tariffs and the stock market drop

509
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff. In hour two, there's

510
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting information out there. I'll give the

511
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: Canucks this man. They decide we need a new leader.

512
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: They got one like next week. It's amazing the way

513
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: you agonize it for a year. You got to have

514
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: a three year election. Oh here's your freedom loving quote

515
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 1: of the day, said along by DH. We're departing from

516
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt temporarily just because I like this from Tom

517
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: Soul so much. It would never occur to people with

518
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: academic degrees and professorships that they are both ignorant and

519
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: incompetent in vast areas of human life, much less that

520
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: they should keep that in mind before they vent their

521
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: emotions and wax self righteous. Man Ah, this hits me. Okay, Well,

522
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know a couple of people

523
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: actually with really prestigious degrees, and I mean this, how

524
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: do I not sound like could jerk saying this? But

525
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: they aren't near as smart about things as they think

526
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: they are, because they they because they're absolute top of

527
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: the world. Experts in a very specific thing that doesn't

528
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: give you any insight about anything else. I mean none,

529
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: maybe less, because you spend your whole life focused on

530
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: this other little thing. And indeed, since what ninety six

531
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: percent of the population maybe ninety nine it makes their

532
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: living not in academia and are lives are very, very

533
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: different from you in innumerable ways. Yeah, you just have

534
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: no idea what it's like out here. Mail bag, drop

535
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: us note mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com.

536
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: I thought this flowed beautifully from the freedom loving quote

537
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: of the day. Jeremy sent this along. I thought you'd

538
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: get a kick out of the events that you see

539
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: Berkeley these days. The School of Social Sciences, some of

540
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: the upcoming events decolonizing gender and sexualities, epistomes, subjects, rationalities, arctivisms, practices,

541
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: and movements. Oh good, I was afraid they'd have practices

542
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: but not movements. Yeah, man, some in you know, some

543
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: parent is paying for the kid to go to those classes,

544
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: thinking that prepares them for the world. Another of the lectures,

545
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: the Yellow Sparrow Memoir of a Transgender Then you have

546
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: my favorite theory of the theory of water uses unpronounceable

547
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: consciousness to dismantle and think beyond the present moment in

548
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: the face of ongoing genocides, extinct glaciers, police killings, children

549
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: alone in cages at borders, the resurgence of fascist states,

550
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: and a dying planet. Simson, that's the lecturer asks, what

551
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: does it mean? As Rebecca Belmore asks us in waves

552
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,479
Speaker 1: sound to listen to water? What does it mean? As

553
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: Dion Brand writes through a diaspora consciousness and by inventoring

554
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: the quotidian disasters of our time in a epic poem

555
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: Nomencletcher to quote believe in water. There's more that that's

556
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: like half of it. You know. The beauty of those

557
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: things is they invent all of their own terminology, then

558
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: define it, then make you memorize it all. And that

559
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: becomes the kind of the fences of the discussion. And

560
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: anybody who comes in like your parents and says, you know,

561
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: your spout and crap, I haven't learned anything useful. Well,

562
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: they're obviously a fascist or a neo colonializer or something

563
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: or other. Yeah, And then they have kind of a

564
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: pact with each other. The different professors and everything go

565
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: to each other's classes and lectures and put blurbs on

566
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: each other's books and that sort of stuff, and it's

567
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: all so incestuous. D and Sacramento Rits. Remember when Biden

568
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: said inflation is down. Here's the difference between Trump and Biden.

569
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: Trump said we might have to hurt for a while.

570
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: Can Trump at least get points for honesty. I'm Facebook

571
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: friends with several of my former high school teachers. They're

572
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: extremely liberal, so I like to see their online posts

573
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: for perspective. I've noticed that these teachers have really been

574
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: struggling with inflation for the past couple of months. Yet

575
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: I've been struggling with it for the past four years.

576
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: How bizarre. Yeah, all of a sudden they're worried about

577
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: it and think they're coming in how to do so?

578
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: Right about it? Right now? I love this. It's a

579
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: bit of a meme. Uh. I'm from Germany and I

580
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: want to make sure I understand Europe wants Germany to rearm,

581
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: march through Poland and attack Russia. I want to make

582
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: this clear so there are no understandings misunderstandings. Yeah, you

583
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: got a couple more great emails. Maybe we'll stuff them

584
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: in next hour. Yeah, that's funny. The tweet I saw

585
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 1: last week where you know, maybe the world didn't want

586
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: Germany rearming for a reason. Has anybody thought about that?

587
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: If you missed a segment at the podcast Armstrong and

588
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
