WEBVTT - Rolling & Trolling 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:15.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:19.960 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:36.639 Jackie Enough he arms the drum studio. C say on 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.320 what I like to call a little Wednesday in a 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.080 dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the Armstrong 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.960 and Getty Communications Compound. And today we're under the tutelage 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:55.880 of our general manager, Tariffs, recession, dahn a pe root angst. 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.400 You know what I think I might do. I might 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:06.039 led Dogs of the Apocalypse. Yes, I might get a 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:10.520 I might get a cyberbeast and get a personalized license 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:14.880 plate that says doge. And then just get ready to 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.920 repair all the keying of my car and ilp to 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:22.240 carry extra tires in the back because they're constantly being slashed. 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:29.440 You'll be rolling and trolling in your monsters, rolling and trolling. Yes, 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.840 I had heard. Uh Hannity said he's gonna buy a 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.479 couple of tesla'sn't given to friends. Trump said he's gonna 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.560 get one. So it's really becoming a statement sort of thing. 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.800 Well I always was. It always was a statement thing, 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.600 way more than a practical thing. For a lot of people, 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.319 and so now it's just gone the other direction, but 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:51.040 a wildly different statement. Yeah, I like this maneuver better 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.520 when you're a little younger and you're fighting days, weren't 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.720 you know, maybe he as far behind you. I don't 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.240 think fighting of these. He's just gonna stand there some 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:06.200 slashing your tie, hail eaten, probiotic taken, limp wristed lefties. 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:12.200 But they might slash my tires. So you're thinking they're 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.240 they're gonna have their little Linguini arms on away at 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.200 your tires and you're gonna walk up and discover it. 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.560 And just whoof aasses? You gotta admit though, the biggest, 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:27.640 most ridiculous Tesla they make with a Doge license plate 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.320 would be pretty good. From a distance, you could you 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.560 can mistake one of the Tesla models for you know, 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.320 a Toyota or so who knows what else? Not the 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:40.400 cyber truck, No, no, no, no, definitely not. And and 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.400 if it becomes like a rolling middle finger to the 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:48.000 idea of big government, that might be my car, and 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.200 that might be where it's going. Man. I watched the 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.639 interview with Elon yesterday, and we're gonna have a whole 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.240 bunch of clips of that. But first of all, my 0:02:55.240 --> 0:03:03.359 phone ding me tornetto please silence your devices. He was 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.600 talking about the number of death threats he gets now 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.720 and just how difficult it is to travel around and 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.640 everything like that. And one of the reasons he's posting 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:17.079 everything online is he wants people to say, Okay, you're 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.000 so angry at me, you're hearing him a Nazi. You're 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.560 hearing all these things. Go to the website and then 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.560 tell me which of these things that I say we 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.760 ought to cut that you disagree with and we'll argue 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.320 about it. You know, which of these things do you 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.359 think I'm wrong about, and then we can have a 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.000 conversation about it. That's what I'm trying to do. He said, 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.360 I'm concerned somebody out there who doesn't pay attention to 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:42.800 this is gonna hear I'm a Nazi and kill me. Right. Yeah, 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.920 it's another great example. And this is so troubling. It 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:47.560 makes me just want to vanish into the woods and 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:51.280 watch the squirrels cowort as usual. But the idea of 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.400 we choose a narrative and then we choose our facts 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:59.360 based on our choice of narrative is so true in 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.600 so many of the big topics going on right now, 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.880 including the Doge thing, are the Ukraine thing, or the 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:08.920 pro or the Israel Hamas thing, or even the tariff thing, 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.280 which lefties usually are in favor of, but now all 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.960 of a sudden, it's definitely awful, right right? Yeah, what 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:20.040 an interesting topic that is? That the whole tariffs and protectionism, 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.200 if you want to call it that, or responding to 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:28.080 the terrible disservice disservice globalism did to a lot of 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:35.040 American workers. It's it's definitely a complex weave of predictions 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:40.200 and economic principles which are imperfect at best. Hence the 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:47.320 nickname for economics is the dismal science is and it 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.000 has everything to do with the huge pivot in history 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:56.160 that the globe might be taking, right right? Can you 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.280 think of anything more provocative than Doge as a personalized 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:03.760 license plate on the cyberbeast? That's pretty good. That's good. Yeah, 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:07.400 it's pretty good, especially where I live. How about t 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:13.159 r MP Oh wow, four k n G or is 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:19.719 that too many lotters? Trump for king? Oh my god? Yeah, 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.400 that would be just being provocative. I couldn't back that 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:26.320 up with my own rhetoric. I mean, I believe in Doge. 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.880 I do not believe Trump should be king. Okay, well, 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.919 all right, you've got to be more specific in your instructions. 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:36.600 All right, let's see now. Oh my god, yeah, that 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:41.400 would be horrible if something uh how about something that's 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:48.760 spelled out lib tears where you live, big college town? 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.560 Oh jeez, sorry, back to back to a sense. Yeah, 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.600 I'm gonna say something dark. We don't want something dark. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.720 Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.479 Getty on this it is Tuesday. We're already into March eleventh, 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.159 the year twenty twenty five, where I'm strong in getting 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.080 we approved of this program. Let's begin then, officially, according 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.080 to FCC rules and regulations, the show starts at Mark 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:11.720 and I guess we're going to find out who was right. 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:11.960 Right. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.320 If Donald Trump is right, then over the course of 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.800 the next couple of years, this thing will end up 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.760 paying off. And if he's wrong, then voters are going 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.599 to say, I elected you to bring down prices. You're 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.240 clearly fixing the border. That's good, but you're not bringing 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.560 down prices. You're making my life harder. And I'm upset 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.800 with that. And there's an election coming out next year, 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.720 and that's when people can register their disagreement. 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.800 So that was on MSNBC last night. Our old friend 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.600 David Drucker, who's now with the Dispatch we used to 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.800 have on all the time. They weren't really digging some 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.240 of the things he was saying, because he was giving 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:50.599 out the possibility that this might work and be a 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.680 good idea, And of course they were not digging that 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.440 on MSNBC, but in the way that David Drunker always 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.200 did on this show, he laid it out pretty plainly. Well, 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.719 if Trump is right, in a couple of years we 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.480 see that this works, it's going to be really great, 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.520 right right. I was actually quite pleasantly surprised on a 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.320 similar topic. I was listening to NPR briefly to punish 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.520 myself for the terrible things I've done, and they had 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:19.800 a surprisingly frank, non partisan guest on who explained, you know, 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:26.240 in similar fashion, that look, this may well be a 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.840 very successful strategy, but we need to find what we're 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.120 seeking is a new equilibrium, which I thought was a 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.320 good term to throw around in that we're going to 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.280 restructure the nature of imports and exports domestic production and 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.400 consumer spending in a way that does not you know, 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:51.760 necessitate being dependent on China, and it will absolutely be disruptive, 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.680 but eventually we'll come to a new equilibrium. And the 0:07:54.800 --> 0:08:00.040 trick is to convince people that that investments and the 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.720 you know, chaos too strong a word, but well, you know, 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.200 the upheaval that comes with it will pay off in 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.600 the long term and we'll all be better off and 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.640 hang in there. The problem being the timetable though, you know, 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.720 I said a couple of years. Can that even conceive it? 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:21.600 I don't. I doubt it. I doubt it. And I 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.640 think Trump's argument would be, or the people that are 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.400 backing this would be, this is going to happen anyway, 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.760 just in a different way. We're going to be forced 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.800 into it suddenly at some point when the big dust 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:37.840 up with China comes, or we can kind of do 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.400 it on our own and have more control over it, 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.720 I think would be the argument. Having said that, just briefly, 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.559 I don't know why we're jacking Canada around, Like, yeah, 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.520 that's hard. That's one that one's a little hard to agree. 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:52.080 That's that's that's his trade agreement that he's saying is 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.559 wildly crazy and we've got to punish Canada and whipsaw 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.640 and ally back and forth. Trump he did that agreement. 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.360 Oh do we have that new guy that it's gonna 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.600 be prime minister? Man, he's us. He's way better spokesman 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:08.640 for Canada than Justine Trudeau was crazy smart guy. Yeah. Well, 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.720 and just he just sounds like a man. I mean, 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.000 I hate to be just that base, but he sounds 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.480 like a man. He said, Canada stands up for Canada. 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.640 Nobody's gonna push us around. When Justin Trudeau says that 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.400 sort of thing, he's like, yeah, whatever, I can't call 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.880 you a homophobic because Trudeau is is straight allegedly, you're 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:30.040 a whatsophobic. I am wassophobic, especially for national leaders man, 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.120 for leader of a country. Yeah, so he's a bit 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:38.640 limp of wrist and delicate of pante and feathery off hair. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.520 Does that make him a bad leader? So he's so 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:49.400 he's somewhat laced of undergarments. So I got headlines on 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.120 the way from Katie. You got mail bag this hour, 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.800 and we'll hear from some of Elon and his interview, 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:59.679 which is pretty interesting stuff. There's so many big the 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.679 crane thing they're they're meeting and where are they meet? 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.400 In Saudi Arabia or some place to try to work 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.600 on that. So many big things going on right now, 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.240 and who knows how they're gonna turn out, But anyway, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.400 stick around. Our text line is four one five two 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:19.440 nine five kftc Armstrong, on recommendation from I don't remember who. 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.400 I've been having the worst sleep of my life. Just 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.880 can't sleep at all. I can sleep, get to sleep, 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.440 but I wake up and then I'm wake for hours 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.040 and hours an hours, sometimes all the way till morning. 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:30.839 And it's been driving me absolutely not that dreg going 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:34.520 a bit anyway. On the suggestion, I'd ordered some Valerian root, 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.559 which is a popular thing to take in magnesium, which 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.719 is a pipler thing to take anyway. I don't know 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.719 which of those are both in combination, but two nights 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.160 in a row, I've slept the entire night with just that. 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:50.000 No no, no doctor prescribed drugs, no, you know, giant 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:54.520 pharmacy company something or other. What is this called valerian root? 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.920 Is it valarium or valerian vlarium? I think with im 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.680 am anyway, they smell my My son has been taking 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.400 him for a while. It's funny. He's been taking him 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.000 for sleeping and I never thought maybe I should try it, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.599 because it is. I do have an anti hippie bias. 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.400 It's weird. I'm way more likely to take something that 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:14.440 comes from some big pharmacy company then Sackler family. Then 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.440 I am, yeah than I am for something that you know, 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.240 hippies recommend me that you can get it to G 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.680 and C. Anyway, So is the other one magnesium magnesium, 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:24.880 But my son calls it stinky feet the vlarium root 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.319 because it smells awful. You open up the bottle and 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:28.480 you think, I don't even know if I can take 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.680 this bill. You're gonna get it down fast. But I've 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.840 slept all night long. It's been awesome. Good. Oh okay, 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.719 Well I am. I hope that's today. Yeah, I hope 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.199 it's news you can use. I hope it doesn't cause, 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:45.040 you know, brain bleed or anything to mention that I'm 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.800 bleeding out a number of orifices. God, I was just 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.920 going to ignore that side effect. I woke up. 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:51.560 Twice last night, once in the middle of the night 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.040 and the second time fifteen minutes before the alarm was. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.280 Supposed to go off. That's so maddening. Oh no, you 0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:01.760 feel like you're cheated. Yeah, yeah, damn it. Hey, let's 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.800 figure out who's reporting what it's the lead story with 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.400 Katie Green. Katie, Well, we'll start with NBC. 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.240 The White House is using tariffs to restore manufacturing, and 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.680 data suggests it will take some time. 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:19.199 I yeah, Trump is both the greatest political messenger of 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.760 all time and then sometimes the worst. I wish he 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.640 would in a maybe you should have somebody else do it, 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.640 give a speech like really explaining the plan, how long 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.120 it's going to take, you know, don't be frightened off 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.040 by the you know, the six month longer year long 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.240 or whatever, disruption of the stock market or something. I 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:44.040 wish he'd give a speech like that. Yeah, exactly, Well, yeah, 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.920 and why it's worth it, Just what this great endeavor 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.080 is that we're doing. I've read an interesting account of 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.839 a couple of builders, like small time builders, court just 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.960 get whip sawed by the tariffs and there they come. 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:58.840 So they buy up a bunch of lumber and have 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.040 to store it. Then the terriff are pulled back again. 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.959 And these are small business people who are just you know, 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.920 they're not at despair at this point. But they're highly 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:12.040 discouraged and confused what Trump's doing or why he's doing it. 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.199 It sticking with tariffs from bright bart dot com. Ontario 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.960 imposes twenty five percent tariffs on electricity exports to United 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.760 States in response to trump planned tariffs. 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.319 Yeah, like I was saying that incoming new prime ministers 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.520 to talking tough. You want to fight, whether it's he said, 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.839 you want to fight, whether it's hockey or tariffs. We're 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.360 gonna win. And everybody cheered like grade o oh gloating 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:36.200 from Fox News. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:41.360 Ukraine launches biggest drone attack on Moscow, killing two as 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:42.360 US talks begin. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:45.960 From CNN. 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:51.120 Iran, China and Russia launch annual joint naval drills as 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.680 Trump up ends Western alliances. 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.120 Wait, I ran, god, like half a dozen you know 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:04.480 speedboats headline from CNN up ends Western alliances. God, that 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:08.560 makes me so mad. So they haven't participated in NATO 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.640 in decades. And then when you call him out on it, 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.840 you've up indoed the alliance. Whatever? Yeah? Yeah. From The 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:16.520 Free Beacon. 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:23.280 Columbia University professors cancel classes in solidarity with pro hamas 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.120 activist in Ice custody. 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.080 That's an interesting one. I saw a good deep dive 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.680 on the whole you know, free speech on campus versus 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.880 what this guy's been saying thing yesterday. It's to me, 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.880 it's not one clear cut what do you think though, No, 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.840 it's not. Actually you've anticipated one of the conversations. I 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.680 wanted to have our friends that fire the Foundation for 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:51.000 Individual Rights and Expression are protecting this guy saying what 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:55.000 he said does not cross the line. Interesting, I think, 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.640 and it's funny. This is always presented as zero sum. 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:02.800 It's a battle in the media. I think asking the 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:08.160 question when do people on visas cross the line into 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:12.000 advocating for terrorist organizations and can we boot their ass out? 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.000 This is part of the process of answering that question. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.560 So it's not necessarily about this guy. Let's work through 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.320 it then start booting people out. That takes a couple 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.400 of hearings or court rulings or whatever. That's fine. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:29.400 From The New York Post, Dylan Mulvaney's shallow, narcissistic, nauseatingly 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.840 pink memoir is an insult to women. 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:36.480 Yeah, I read that review. I'm surprised. I would think 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.640 if Dylan mulvaney wrote a memoir, it would be like 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.920 a tree falling in the forest, you know, knock yourself out, 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:45.120 have a good time with your garage full of unsold books. 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:49.200 But CBS gave him five and a half him her 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.760 whatever em she was a dude. Now as a girl, 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.640 I am this is a time to become a girl. 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.680 It's impossible. This in the time change. I can't remember 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:02.920 which you do not have a uterus. But the CBS 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.880 gave the book full coverage like it was a major 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:13.680 literary moment. Dylan Mulaney's memoir. There is nobody who is 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.720 honestly motivated to read that book because they want to 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.840 know about that person's life. It is all tribal signaling. Sure, Katie, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:26.000 how do you feel about the term uterine? Uterine can 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.480 describe what you are? You're a uterine. Just shove it. No, 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.320 it's not sexy. I'm trying. 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.920 For the Wall Street Journal. The hologram doctor will see 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.800 you now, this is a story about a Tennessee cancer 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.760 clinic that is beaming doctors out to rural areas using holograms. 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:45.280 Wow. Cool. 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:49.880 Yeah, And finally the Babylon b quote. 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:51.680 Ladies and gentlemen, we. 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.440 Got him RFK Junior announces Seal Team six is neutralized. 0:16:55.480 --> 0:17:01.360 The kool Aid man wow like double tap right above 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:08.960 his big black eye. Oh wow, Oh that's horrible. We've 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.239 got some more news of the day. Stock market had 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.479 a bumpy, bumpy day yesterday. We'll see how to day starts. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:18.080 It wasn't fumpy, it was just straight down. Much more 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:21.080 to come, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:27.160 They're setting fire to various Tesla charging stations near Boston. 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:34.400 Shots were fired at a Tesla dealership in Oregon. Various 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.040 non violences. 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.200 Fired, not a metaphor. Shots fired. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:44.920 Yes, downtown New York marching, marching against the Tesla's showroom. 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:48.760 You're a stock is way down. You've been criticized left 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:49.200 and right. 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:55.720 Look on the right side. I mean what, it's just 0:17:55.760 --> 0:18:02.320 funny for me personally as a guy who drives a Tesla. Uh, 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.119 I got so much crap from all my right wing 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:09.240 you know, friends and family members, and now it's gonna 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:15.560 flip completely all politically. Just it's interesting, yeah, I mean political, 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:19.400 and now the they hatred on the other side is political, 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:23.320 and the love's gonna remember people taking like really mean 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:28.560 public shots at you, and now those very people are 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:30.840 rushing out to buy them to show they're loyal and 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:32.800 you just wanted to really fast talk. They had a 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:37.600 good stereo and it was super fast. How dare you 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:42.800 don't you know? That cause them from political signaling strange times. So, 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:47.080 speaking of uh transportation, a handful of stories from the 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:51.040 domestic scene that I thought were interesting. Bags no longer 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:54.280 fly free on Southwest Airlines. Very soon they will start 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:58.480 charging passengers for check luggage, sell basic economy tickets as 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:02.920 Southwest is becoming much much more like it's competitor airlines 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.080 and just wasn't making money. Yeah, and I wonder if 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.560 that's going to work for them. I have no idea. 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:14.720 So well, the one thing they aren't like other airlines 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:17.640 is there's no you know, business class, first class, anything 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:23.000 like that. So what you could do prior, if you're 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.359 rich or a business person or whatever you know, is 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.520 get some sort of get on the plane first thing. 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:29.960 But if that goes out the window, I don't I 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:34.119 don't know, I don't know. There was still loyalty status 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:38.240 and if you're in whatever tier, you can get one 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.840 bag free, or if you buy the priceist tickets, you'll 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:44.000 get two bags free. But that's if you're a child 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.639 or a fool, if you don't understand the flaw in 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.840 that sentence, Yes, if you buy our priceier ticket, you 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:57.600 can have bags for free. Now anyway, moving along completely 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:06.560 different topic, Baseball has a fastball problem. Namely, it's become 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:10.720 infinitely clear statistically speaking. And if you're a longtime baseball fan, 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:15.360 you know baseball is utterly fascinated and fixated on statistics, 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.879 always has been for whatever reason. It's one of the 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:22.400 rembatting average is figured to a thousandth of a percentage 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:23.720 or whatever. That's one of the reasons. A lot of 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:27.560 people really like it. Yes, but so they've decided that 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:30.320 absolutely throwing very very hard is the most effective way 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:34.640 to pitch. You know, I just worshiped guys like Greg Maddox, 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.679 who baseball fans remember, who didn't throw terribly hard, but 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:42.040 he is a master of deception and breaking pitches and 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.919 hitting his spots and that sort of thing is his 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.080 sort of pitching is a rarity these days. They just 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:50.440 want guys who are who can just bring fire to 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:54.560 a problem with that is, the human arm has limits, 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.120 and so these young hard throwers are just ruining their 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:03.239 arms one after the other and they're not sure what 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:07.600 to do about it. Also, batting averages are dropping enough 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.600 that the offense is going out at the game because 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:15.280 I mean, for instance, well they point out that, yeah, 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:17.159 that's getting too much into the weeds. I'll just go 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:22.920 with these stats. At the Perfect Game National Showcase, which 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.480 is America's biggest gathering of high school talent, it's like 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:32.399 where all the scouts are. Okay, In twenty fifteen, there 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.640 were five guys who could throw even a single pitch 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:38.640 at ninety five miles per or five guys, and I 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:41.720 guarantee you in nineteen ninety it was zero anyway, or 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:46.639 maybe one freak five guys. Last year was thirty six. 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:53.320 And pitchers are getting hurt at an alarming rate. So 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:58.879 are you saying that, dudes? So when people weren't throwing 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:06.600 that hard, they just weren't trying putting fitness technique and 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:09.560 just you know, more or less throwing as hard as 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:14.120 you possibly can, which feet always do. Just throw as 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:16.600 you don't swing a golf club, just as hard as 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.000 you can, or you know, because it's hard to keep 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:22.800 it under control. Well right, yeah, and there's something to 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:25.720 be said for having, you know, one little more gear 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:29.479 in case you need overpower somebody. But the problem is 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:31.800 if you did that all the time, you ruin your 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:33.840 arm and everybody knew it. Well, like did you see 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:35.480 And again that if you're not a baseball fan, you 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:37.639 don't of this means. But Garrett Cole, who the Yankee 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.560 spent a gazillion dollars on, he threw like five pitches 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:44.960 the other day in uh, you know, before Baseball League 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:47.320 whatever they call it, the Grapefruit League. And he's out 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:49.960 out for the year. Tommy John surgery, may never pitch again. 0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:52.560 That is the lead of this story. Yeah. As a 0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:55.199 matter of fact, Yeah, the total number of pitches recorded 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.120 at one hundred miles per hour or more has gone 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:00.760 from two hundred and fourteen in two thousand and eight 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:04.280 to thirty three hundred last season. Oh wow, that's a 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:06.439 major change in the game. And I remember when it 0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:08.960 was a really big deal if anybody could throw one hundred. Ever, 0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:13.280 so that's going on thirty times as many. Yeah, so, 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:15.800 and it's changed the game, and not necessarily for the better, 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.320 you know what they do about always wanted I've always 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:20.560 wanted to be able to see one hundred mile an 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:22.080 hour pitch but it's got to be some sort of 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:24.720 machine that I can guarantee isn't going to hit me. 0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:26.920 But I would love to stand there in the plate 0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:28.560 and see a hundred mile in hour pitch, just see 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:31.080 what it looks like. Yeah, yeah, I don't seem like 0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:35.280 ninety three ninety four and as like an eighteen year old. 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:38.560 And I was like, oh lord, I mean it was 0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:42.600 terrifying and Nihon unhittable. Well, the idea of being able 0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:45.560 to pick up the spin of the ball and make 0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:47.800 a decision whether I'm going to swing or not, it 0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:51.680 just seems crazy. Yeah, it's an instantaneous judgment that one 0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:55.320 one hundredth of percent of the population can do effectively. 0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:59.080 It's a hitting a major league pitch is way harder 0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:02.640 than it looks. Anyway of more significance, perhaps to us 0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:07.919 in our real lives. The new weight loss drugsure ozimpics 0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:12.400
