<v Speaker 1>and now he.

0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Arms live from Studio c Please any are we were

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 2>going to broadcast live from Cuba today but we couldn't

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 2>get a plane.

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Get fashion now plod deep within the bowels of.

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.279
<v Speaker 2>The Armstrong and Getty Communications compound, and today we are

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>toiling under the title of the show Amazon Ceo delivers

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:46.639
<v Speaker 2>Truth Bombs Overnight or Cuba Libre, You dirty cobbies. You're

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna free up Cuba next here we go. So yeah,

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 2>So I remember right after Venezuela and then there was

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 2>talk of as gonna be first, it's gonna be Iran,

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>then it's gonna be Cuba.

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Kind of when we were all thinking Iran.

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Would take like a week or something, I guess and uh,

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 2>but that didn't work out that way. So do we

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 2>still have really enough space in our enough bandwidth as

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 2>they say, to to regime change yet another country while

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 2>we're still kind of kind of locked down on Iran

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.639
<v Speaker 2>right now? I think we've put a pin in Cuba

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna circle back when we have more bandwidth

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 2>that's a good idea. So we announced the charged Raul

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Castro who used to run the place, and then are

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>we gonna snatch him in the middle of the night

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>like we did. There's really there's done a lot of

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 2>point in that he's not actually the leader anymore.

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>So no, that's unlikely to happen. I just it's funny.

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I've heard this reported, and I've read a number of

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>accounts to quite a few of them, and they all

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 2>say the same thing, designed to increase the pressure on Cuba,

0:01:56.440 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 2>but they never explained how exactly charging an ancient, you know,

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 2>senile revolutionary with crimes is going to increase any pressure

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 2>on anybody.

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't get it. That's really flying under the radar though.

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 2>The whole Cuba situation, whenever I see it brought up,

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>it's always like they're in about as bad as shape

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 2>as they have ever been in their country's history, right

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 2>in terms of ain't got no gas and all that

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 2>sort of stuff. Yeah, yeah, if they were leaning hard

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>on Venezuela you may have heard there's a bit of

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.679
<v Speaker 2>a change there and Iran as well, and they're occupied,

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.959
<v Speaker 2>as we were discussing, So yeah, tough times for the

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Cuban comedies. And that's just heartbreaking, isn't it. Well, it

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>sucks for the people. It ain't their fault, yeah, but

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it's it's you know, they've got to go

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.799
<v Speaker 2>through this to get that regime out of there.

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>But I tell you what, it's going to be a challenge.

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 2>There is no meaningful opposition to the Communist Party in Cuba.

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>They have an excellent police state. It's not a very

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 2>big place, as you may know. It's an island, and

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 2>cubas an island bak news as it turns out, And

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:06.639
<v Speaker 2>there's no Cuban Delsi. As folks within the administration have

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 2>been talking about Delsi what's her face? Who took over

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 2>for Fathead in Venezuela and is now evidently cow toowing

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 2>the Trump until he leaves office. Then she'll just go

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 2>back to being the female menduo who knows.

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I got that whole issue.

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Jeez. At the same time that we're all worried about

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>uh abola, that's really tough.

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>But I keep I keep seeing all these stories.

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Gotta be careful talking about this because people's mood about

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:33.519
<v Speaker 2>the economy is bad.

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>My my mood about the economy is bad, and the

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>price of gas. I hate the price of gas.

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 2>I filled up my diesel truck again, and it was

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>practically two hundred and fifty bucks.

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Two hundred and fifty bucks to fill up my truck,

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>which is absolutely amazing.

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>If I if I had to drive that all the

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 2>time and fill it up, you know, four times a

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 2>month or more, geez, that'd be a noticeable difference. Any who.

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Even with all that.

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Said, Oh and there's a new Fox poll out today,

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>seventy one percent of people disapprove. This is the disapproved

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 2>number because off of the approval number was low, but

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the disapproval number wasn't this high because people were kind

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 2>of in the I don't approve, but I don't know

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 2>where I am on this. Now, seventy one percent of

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>people disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy. That's that's

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 2>a high number, like record high number. Still, God, your

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>endless stories about Memorial Day weekend and how difficult it's

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna be for people to travel and they were doing

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 2>they're just doing it. And this this family is traveling

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>and it was ninety some miles okay each way. It's

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 2>get four to five gallons of gas. It's a dollar

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 2>higher than that last year. So total last year, the

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.039
<v Speaker 2>gas price alone is gonna be a ten spot more

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>for the weekend. Come on, now, let's let's not be ridiculous,

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>all right, people, Yeah, yeah, I know. Nobody should be

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 2>altering their life over ten dollars.

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you are. Given the economy.

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.919
<v Speaker 2>Ten dollars is like a venti coffee at Starbucks. And

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 2>there's a line at Starbucks every morning.

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I see it.

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 2>So come on now, tell your kids you're suspending the

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>allowance program. But they'll be paid back and full at

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 2>some point as soon as legislation has passed. It's like

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>the government shut down. Well, they'll be fine. My point

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 2>was that while the mood is bad and everything is

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 2>way too expensive, Uh, the media is catastrophizing this at

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 2>just at a ridiculous level and around stupid stuff.

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>It reminds me of I was just reading again.

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 2>About why kids aren't having kids and young people aren't

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 2>having kids, they're not coupling, they're not having sex, and

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 2>every article always mentions that, uh, what's the official term

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 2>you here?

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:53.799
<v Speaker 1>Used?

0:05:54.880 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Climate anxiety is a big part of it. Well, who

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.720
<v Speaker 2>caused this climate anxiety? You cranks. As we were trying

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 2>to tell you, look all these everything you're pitching that

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 2>the poor, little terrified children is wildly overstated. It's designed

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 2>by activists to turn them into little revolutionaries. And now

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 2>the very people are pitching that crap because it's click

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 2>bait and fear mongering are now saying, yeah, look at

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 2>all the damage that did.

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll be damned.

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that our spending matches the polling showing

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 2>how worried we are about the economy. It just they

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 2>don't seem to match up. So are people worried on

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>other people's behalf? Like, I'm gonna keep traveling and eating out,

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 2>but I know it's really bad for other people.

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Is it one of those things? I don't. I'm not

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>exactly sure. What's similar to that. Nobody knows.

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Wall Street Journal had a long article, but this last week,

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 2>nobody is exactly sure. Why with the war going on

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 2>and seventy five percent of people saying the country's going

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 2>the wrong direction, why we set a record in the

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 2>stock market every single day?

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.279
<v Speaker 1>So this is all a bit of a mystery.

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 2>But people are still eating out and traveling and all

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 2>that sort of stuff. At a pretty high level, even

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 2>though the numbers are so bad.

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, getting back to the fertility thing, because it's all related.

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I was reading a really long and interesting think piece

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>from a scientist about the low birth rates around the world,

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>and we'll talk about it later, but it struck me

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>in reading it, and I'm like, the only person I've

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 2>heard talking about this.

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>What came up over and over again.

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 2>And it relates to your questions about people's perception of

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 2>the economy, is that people take in their inputs of

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 2>the world. Their perceptions of the world are formed in

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 2>a way that they've never been formed in human history,

0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 2>just in the last twenty years or so, post smart own,

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 2>post never ending information input to humans. You ask somebody

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 2>even twenty five years ago their perception of the economy,

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be based on their paycheck, their expenses,

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 2>their vacations, how much they can save.

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be almost.

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>All personal, plus a little around the edges, talking to

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 2>friends and neighbors and co workers. Now people's perception of

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 2>reality is almost entirely what would you call a third

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 2>hand or electronic or cosmic, and virtually none of it's personal.

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>So you get all these results of I'm not a racist,

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 2>and nobody I know is a racist. But I believe

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 2>eighty percent of Americans are racist. You get that over

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.680
<v Speaker 2>and over again. My personal economy is fine. My friends

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 2>seem to be doing fine, but boy, I hear it's

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 2>just s out there. So yes, my perception of the

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 2>economy is it's terrible. I will grant you now, with

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the affordability stuff going on, it is stressful, but nobody

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 2>else talks about that. Maybe I'm a mad I'm convinced

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 2>that's like everything that explains vertually everything people wonder about

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:11.679
<v Speaker 2>in the year twenty twenty six. Yeah, psychologically, our perceptions

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 2>are in our external noun set of internal.

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're right.

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Not very many years ago, it had to be an

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 2>internal perspective, that's all you had. Yeah it picture life, Yeah,

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 2>picture an upside down pyramid. Well, I guess it would

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 2>be no, a regular pyramid, the bottom of which would

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 2>be personal experience. Then people very very close to you,

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.559
<v Speaker 2>and at the very top you'd have that little part

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.559
<v Speaker 2>that would say, you know, media and now it's inverted.

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it's yeah.

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 2>So you remind me to write that analysis. It'll put

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.959
<v Speaker 2>me on the map. Yeah, you get your opinion and

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 2>externally as opposed internally. Now it's really interesting. So I

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 2>noticed this the other day and I found it very

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 2>very troubling. I am, and I know most of you

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 2>are not on Twitter. Very few people are actual on Twitter,

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and us in the media talk about it all the

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 2>time because all the media people are on Twitter, but

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 2>we're all on Twitter AnyWho, the same would be true.

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I assume for Facebook, Yahoo or.

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Yah who Facebook? What was the other thing as the intergra.

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Instagram, a lot of the other stuff that y'all

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 2>are on. So on the Twitter feed, I have never

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 2>in the decades we've been on Twitter, I've always just

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 2>gone there and like searched out individuals, opinions, people that

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 2>I know and respect and stuff like that.

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I never just kind of randomly scrolled. Never did. For

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>whatever reason, I started doing that a couple of weeks ago.

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I open up my Twitter and then I just scroll

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the stuff the algorithm feeds me. Yes.

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 2>In other words, the algorithm didn't mean anything to me

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 2>in the past because I wasn't scrolling it. So who cares.

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 2>You can do whatever you ought with the algorithm. I'm

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 2>seeking out specific things. New York Times Ian Bremmer, whatever

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking for. But I started scrolling the algorithm and

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I noticed it making me.

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I noticed this last night. It making me like paranoid and.

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Crazy because it's so much more catastrophizing than when I

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 2>seek out specific information. It's just one after the other

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 2>of people I've never heard of, and some of my

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.320
<v Speaker 2>don't even urial people that might be Risian bots. But

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 2>it's one after another of this bad thing happened, and

0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 2>look how woke this person is. Just it just it

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 2>started to make me think, oh my god, I can't

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.560
<v Speaker 2>believe my kids are going onto this world. And if

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 2>most people are doing that, probably with Instagram or something else.

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 2>No wonder people feel that way. Yeah, to that point. See,

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I do the in the algorithm thing more than you do,

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 2>and I'll tell you why. I I feel like I

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 2>am trying to litigate a case to America, and that's

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>a good resource for evidence and you know, insights and

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 2>that sort of perspectives. I've got some great stuff in

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 2>front of me right now, but I liken it to

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 2>an investigator who looks into crimes against children, it will

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 2>gnaw away at your soul and turn you very dark

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 2>and angry. And negative. If you let it, you have

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 2>to be aware of what it is doing to you.

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 2>And I mean, god, what two? I mean, the real

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 2>advent of social media in my life is barely, you know,

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 2>ten years old, and I had fifty years of life

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 2>experience to give me a little perspective as I waded

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 2>into that unholy pool. But younger people without that experience,

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 2>who don't think, wow, okay, wait, I can feel myself

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 2>changing emotionally.

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 1>What's happening here? Right?

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's just so corrosive. Yeah, it's weird. I'd

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>never really done that. It was weird.

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 2>It started to turn me paranoid and dark and like

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:52.840
<v Speaker 2>really concerned.

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I thought, No, no.

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.199
<v Speaker 2>You're looking at the scroll of who are these people?

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 2>You're reading a whole bunch of them. Don't even know

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 2>what the hell they are. Okay, that great thing I

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that I gleaned from the Twitter machine, I refuse

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 2>to call it x elon. You don't get to take

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 2>a letter of the alphabet and make your company that letter.

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>That's a good hit, Yeah, bastard. I could absolutely prove

0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 2>the case that the left is far more bubbled than

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the right.

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's not even close. Yeah.

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 2>And that's not to indict the left, but if your

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 2>lefty friends don't seem to have a clue about how

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 2>the world really works.

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.559
<v Speaker 1>I think we can explain it. You know, I think

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>we actually used up all our time.

0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 2>We can't start to show officially. Let's start to show

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.960
<v Speaker 2>officially when we come back, just because the clip is

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 2>worth talking about.

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, we're going to FCC jail. I'm not tough.

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna make it in FCC jail.

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping we'll get a pardon. Well, it would be

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.680
<v Speaker 2>right back with a great opening.

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Clip right after this.

0:13:57.920 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 2>So I think, for the first time in the show's history,

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the first segment, we did not start the show officially.

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Joe's worried about going to f CC prison. Not tough enough.

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 2>You're cute and cuddley. They'll be loving you from dawn

0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.679
<v Speaker 2>till dusk. Oh wait, I'm looking at the pamphlet. They

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 2>have pickleball.

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute, and and otomy let's start the show officially.

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this.

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 2>It is Thursday, made the twenty first, the year twenty

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty six.

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong in getting and we approve of this program. All right,

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 1>here we go that officially according to FCC rules or

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:32.880
<v Speaker 1>like that mark.

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 4>The way you make a billion dollars or one hundred

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 4>million dollars or ten million dollars or anything is you

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 4>create a service that people love, and if millions of

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 4>people choose your service, you're gonna end up with a

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 4>billion dollars, right and you can, you know, just try

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 4>it with a chicken franchise.

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that your chicken has to be good?

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>But yeah.

0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Bezos of Amazon did a long interview with CNBC

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:03.600
<v Speaker 2>yesterday and dropped some fantastic truth bombs out there that

0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 2>we'll play portions of, pushing back on AOC and others

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 2>ridiculous claim that you can't become a billionaire and basically saying, look,

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 2>it's simple.

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>You open a say you open a Hamburger stand.

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 2>He just goes through the very simple nature of how

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 2>you could become a billionaire quite easily. Well, you'd have

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 2>to be very successful, but the math is easy to understand.

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Of without anybody doing anything illegal or that.

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 2>And he also made the point that if we were

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 2>as inefficient as New York City packages would, it would

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 2>cost one hundred dollars to lover every package and you'd

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 2>get it next week. He was talking particularly about Mundani's

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 2>in New York City. So it's really good stuff. I'm

0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 2>trying to come up with a quick acronym for the

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 2>politics of envy for stupid people, because that's what AOC

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 2>is trafficking in. She just packages up envy in ridiculous

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 2>and I use that term with the original meaning it

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 2>should be ridiculus old. She packaged that, and Jeff Bezos

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:08.040
<v Speaker 2>returned that package and said, sorry, it doesn't fit. Wow

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 2>from the department of trying way too hard. She packages

0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 2>envy with stupid slogans that a moment thought would explode,

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 2>but people are not capable of a moment's thought. Lap

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 2>it up like the sweet mother's milk of you. Sound there,

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I go, now I'm doing you. Sound like Robespierre as

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 2>he's being led to the guillotine, saying, but you all

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 2>don't understand that this is a stupid argument off with

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 2>his head, right, yeah, yeah, an angry mob cannot be reasoned.

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.000
<v Speaker 1>With no God dang it.

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Anyways, that's some good stuff from Jeff Bezos, and a

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:51.280
<v Speaker 2>bunch of other news including it. Several pieces out today

0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 2>about who's really running a rand. This is brand new information,

0:16:55.120 --> 0:17:01.320
<v Speaker 2>super interesting. Brigadier old General, Come on, Vahiti, he's the

0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 2>guy we got to convince or bomb or something.

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh Fahiti hate him so much.

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Plus how the comed dictatorship in Cuba works and why

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:14.159
<v Speaker 2>the bluest the progressives are so much more bubbled than

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 2>conservative It's all pretty damned interesting.

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I hope you can stay tuned.

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:18.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a lot of good stuff today. If he missus

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 2>segment gets the podcast Armstrong and Getty on.

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.439
<v Speaker 1>Demand Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is a stupid comment about Jeff Bezos,

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.400
<v Speaker 2>who I think is still the world's second richest man.

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 2>He came up with the Amazon idea, which lost money

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 2>for jeez, what a decade and a half. I remember

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.119
<v Speaker 2>that used to be a joke. Amazon, which still hasn't

0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 2>turned a profit, announced today that you know, it started

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.239
<v Speaker 2>as a place to buy used books AnyWho, and then

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.800
<v Speaker 2>it changed everyone's lives and took over the world.

0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey, that's the guy.

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Then hebody's the Washington Post and starts dating a woman

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.399
<v Speaker 2>who carves herself up to look like the joker anyway,

0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:01.399
<v Speaker 2>though those are all extraneous things, and he's letting his

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.320
<v Speaker 2>hair kind of grow back as a bald man, which

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 2>seems to be coming back in style. The whole I'm

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.879
<v Speaker 2>bald on top of got hair on sides things seems

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:09.160
<v Speaker 2>to be.

0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Making a comeback. So I got to keep that in mind.

0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Do I want to make that choice? At some point?

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.919
<v Speaker 1>Are we going to get to the truth bombs? I

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.880
<v Speaker 1>suppose so. Jeff Bezos did a long interview with cn

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.480
<v Speaker 1>on a very big boat. You left that out very

0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 1>large boat.

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Jeff Bezos on CNBC yesterday asking questions from Andrew

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Ross Sorkin, and they got into the whole billionaire thing.

0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Now we played the clip a week or so ago.

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I got a lot of traction on the well,

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 2>on the right end the left for different reasons. AOC

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 2>explaining how you can't become a billionaire in the United States.

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Nobody can become a billionaire without cheating. And I mentioned

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.679
<v Speaker 2>the other day Robert Reich, of all people, AOC's a dunce.

0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:52.640
<v Speaker 2>But Robert Reich was a major economic advisor for Bill Clinton,

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:56.639
<v Speaker 2>for Barack Obama, for Democrats. Professor at Berkeley gave their

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 2>commencement address the other day. He put out a statement

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 2>the other day there are five ways to become a

0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 2>billionaire profiting from a monopoly, insider trading, political payoffs, fraud,

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:09.520
<v Speaker 2>and inheritance. Don't believe the myth. So basically, there's no

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 2>way to become a billionaire. Well, he's a Marxist or

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:16.399
<v Speaker 2>a fool. Jeff Bezos pushing back on that yesterday.

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 5>AOC recently said in a podcast and mister curious how

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 5>you think about this? Says there's a certain level of

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:27.600
<v Speaker 5>wealth and accumulation that is unearned. She says, you can't

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:29.120
<v Speaker 5>earn a billion dollars.

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:30.920
<v Speaker 3>You just can't earn that.

0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 5>She says, you can get market power, you can break rules,

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 5>you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less

0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:41.199
<v Speaker 5>than what they're worth, but you can't earn that. Yeah,

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.720
<v Speaker 5>by the way, you are an extraordinary amount of money.

0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 3>You employ large employer. It's not one of them in

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 3>the whole country. When you read that, what do you think.

0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:55.760
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's not cracked on its face. Let let let's

0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.040
<v Speaker 4>give you. Let me give you a simple example. Let's

0:19:58.040 --> 0:19:59.920
<v Speaker 4>say you start a burger.

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.560
<v Speaker 3>Joint and you have ten.

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 4>Employees, and you make a little bit of money until

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.239
<v Speaker 4>you have this is this one one outlet and by

0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.680
<v Speaker 4>the way, these are the most delicious burgers in the world.

0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.240
<v Speaker 4>People love your burgers, Andrew. And so then you open

0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 4>a second outlet, and now you're making a little bit

0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 4>more money, and you have twenty employees, and you open

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.119
<v Speaker 4>a third outlet. By the time you've opened a thousand outlets,

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:27.160
<v Speaker 4>you are a billionaire.

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.160
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, this is a real life story.

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.119
<v Speaker 3>It happens all the time. It's in and out burger,

0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.119
<v Speaker 3>it's you know, raising canes chicken.

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.399
<v Speaker 4>At what point did that money all of a sudden

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:43.159
<v Speaker 4>become unethical or it didn't. There was one outlet, and

0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.399
<v Speaker 4>then there were two, and then there were three. What

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.159
<v Speaker 4>you're doing the way you make a billion dollars or

0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:50.760
<v Speaker 4>one hundred million dollars or ten million dollars or anything,

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 4>is you create a service that people love, and if

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:58.359
<v Speaker 4>millions of people choose your service, you're going to end

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.359
<v Speaker 4>up with a billion dollars. And you can, you know,

0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 4>just try it with a chicken franchise.

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:06.440
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that your chicken has to be good?

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:11.480
<v Speaker 2>But how can a person need to even be told that,

0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, we just need to accept that that's true,

0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.120
<v Speaker 2>because they're dunces who are easily captured by the politics

0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 2>of envy.

0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I think I don't know. I was about to say,

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I think AOC believes it.

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Why did they do that interview next to an industrial

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:27.680
<v Speaker 2>air conditioner?

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:29.879
<v Speaker 1>But they didn't. Yeah, I don't know.

0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:31.960
<v Speaker 2>They didn't want to hear one of the many Amazon

0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:35.480
<v Speaker 2>giant Amazon warehouses and oh okay, yeah, kind.

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Of trying to make the point.

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, well, Bezos makes the point earlier, and maybe

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 2>we'll play that clip because he said a lot of

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:42.480
<v Speaker 2>interesting stuff that I wish, you know, he should be

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:43.760
<v Speaker 2>on a debate stage with AOC.

0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Would be so good for the country. Oh yeah, I agreed.

0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:51.280
<v Speaker 2>I think she's a dunce and doesn't actually understand a

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:53.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of things. How Robert Wright gets to go around

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:57.239
<v Speaker 2>saying that as a guy who's definitely not a dunce, Well,

0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:00.600
<v Speaker 2>there are two possibilities, and one of them is one

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:01.400
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent true.

0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee it.

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 2>He is either one of many intellectuals who's blinded by

0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 2>these ideology and humans ability to blind themselves to further

0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.600
<v Speaker 2>their ideological goals has astounded me since I was.

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:14.120
<v Speaker 1>A little kid.

0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:17.320
<v Speaker 2>It's either that or he's just a dedicated Marxist and

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 2>he knows. Look, there are some arguments in favor of capitalism,

0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 2>but I can't concede them. I've got to keep my

0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:28.840
<v Speaker 2>ideological purity. So I'm going to pretend that, for instance,

0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:31.200
<v Speaker 2>this horse crap that I'm about to say is true.

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Those are the only two possibilities.

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:38.119
<v Speaker 2>But Bezos, at another point, and in your interview, talks

0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 2>about I can do more to help society by starting

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.440
<v Speaker 2>the successful business than I could ever do.

0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:46.240
<v Speaker 1>This is your point.

0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:49.440
<v Speaker 2>You're always making than I could ever do by donating

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 2>money to any charity or anything like that, which I

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:54.679
<v Speaker 2>know for a lot of people that just is a

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.240
<v Speaker 2>head slapping How the f could that be true?

0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Why they don't get the whole.

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 2>If I start a successful business that employs one hundred people.

0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 1>One hundred people have talents.

0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 2>The families, one hundred families are living their lives for decades,

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 2>owning a house, a car, sending their.

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Kids to school, blah blah blah blah blah, all because

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:20.280
<v Speaker 1>of this business I started.

0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:22.680
<v Speaker 2>There's no charity I could donate where I could help

0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:23.480
<v Speaker 2>that many people.

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:26.200
<v Speaker 1>And in the case of you know, really big companies.

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:30.520
<v Speaker 2>You're helping thousands and thousands and thousands of people every dime.

0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 2>They'll need cradle to grave. Imagine how vast a charity

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:38.560
<v Speaker 2>would need to be. Or you can just hire people

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and give them full time jobs with decent paying benefits.

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Period. Yeah.

0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:51.000
<v Speaker 2>The illiteracy of many Americans about economics. And I don't

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:53.439
<v Speaker 2>mean like the fancy stuff which is god and make

0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:56.000
<v Speaker 2>you want to throw yourself off a bridge. I'm just

0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:58.920
<v Speaker 2>talking about basic economics, how business works, how economies work.

0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:03.400
<v Speaker 2>It's really quite a amazing and discouraging. Yeah, I think

0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:07.120
<v Speaker 2>we might be I thought these arguments had been had

0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>in one and we could move on, But as we're

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:11.480
<v Speaker 2>all learning, we need to rehab these arguments like every

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:15.679
<v Speaker 2>twenty years. Apparently, like Ronald Reagan said, we really are

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:16.640
<v Speaker 2>at a place where we need.

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:19.640
<v Speaker 1>To have some big debates on stage with.

0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who you choose to have about like

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:25.640
<v Speaker 2>basic economic stuff like this, Can you become a billionaire

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:28.760
<v Speaker 2>without being a crook or a monopoly or insider trading?

0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Clearly yes, but half the country, maybe more, God help us,

0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:37.800
<v Speaker 2>believes you can't. So let's work this out. Yeah, they

0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:39.920
<v Speaker 2>have that sort of rebril debate.

0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it was.

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 2>The University of Toronto has them now and again we've

0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 2>referenced them through the years, but not enough people see him,

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:47.280
<v Speaker 2>not enough people.

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:48.679
<v Speaker 1>Are aware of them.

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:52.480
<v Speaker 2>If hereside Whoop's ass, it generally gets distributed to folks

0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:54.919
<v Speaker 2>who tend to agree, and they see it and hear

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:56.240
<v Speaker 2>about it, but nobody else does.

0:24:57.400 --> 0:25:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Once again, because of the algorithms. Envy is such a thing.

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 2>And then you got the human nature part of it.

0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Elon was talking about this the.

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Other day, that that concept of.

0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:10.400
<v Speaker 2>You could be perfectly fine with your house. You take

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:12.480
<v Speaker 2>your house and put it in a neighborhood where it's

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:14.880
<v Speaker 2>like the nicest house in the neighborhood, and you're perfectly fine.

0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:17.359
<v Speaker 2>You take that same house, put it in a neighborhood

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:19.560
<v Speaker 2>where all the other houses are nicer than yours, and

0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:22.560
<v Speaker 2>you're all of a sudden unhappy. It's just a terrible

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 2>aspect of human nature. I experienced that myself. I talked

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:27.399
<v Speaker 2>about it on the air. I wasn't proud of it,

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:29.879
<v Speaker 2>but I was shocked by it and honest enough to

0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:32.760
<v Speaker 2>be honest about it, like, what the hell's the matter

0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:37.719
<v Speaker 2>with you? It's just part of being a human. But

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:40.000
<v Speaker 2>we've you know, it's one of those urges that you

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:44.520
<v Speaker 2>just you've got to, you know, climb above your caveman's

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 2>self and try to be a little more evolved and

0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:50.320
<v Speaker 2>not let it drive your entire worldview.

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 1>For goodness sakes, you know, I'm always looking for the

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:55.199
<v Speaker 1>evolutionary reason. Is it just?

0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Is it so that we will continue to strive. But

0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:01.879
<v Speaker 2>somehow I got mixed up with the emotion of envy,

0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:03.640
<v Speaker 2>which is not a helpful emotion.

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Right, I think?

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:06.679
<v Speaker 2>You know, there I am with my caveman wife and

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:10.159
<v Speaker 2>my little caveman kids, cute little devils, and you know,

0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:13.760
<v Speaker 2>every other caveman dad is bringing home half an antelope

0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:16.000
<v Speaker 2>and me I got barely a quarter of an antelope.

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:21.359
<v Speaker 2>There should be discontent, I guess I don't know. Well,

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:24.479
<v Speaker 2>we are affluent enough these days that we have our

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.560
<v Speaker 2>pets are dogs that we love. Word from our friends

0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:31.200
<v Speaker 2>at rough Greens. You know, when they're puppies, they've got

0:26:31.280 --> 0:26:33.600
<v Speaker 2>energy to burn and they just seem like they live forever.

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Then they slow down, get older, and you I we

0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:39.760
<v Speaker 2>all spend our time wondering is there anything we can

0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:43.040
<v Speaker 2>do to slow down that aging process? Rough Greens could

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:46.000

<v Speaker 1>caveman thing.

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Nobody can get an antelope that can't happen. It was

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 2>either handed to them by a crook.

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Or something right.

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, nobody can get a master don honestly exactly.

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.440
<v Speaker 1>He's here's how people get those attitudes.

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:49.560
<v Speaker 2>And we'll get back to the Jeff Bezos interview because

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it's terrific. This is a study by a

0:27:56.840 --> 0:28:03.160
<v Speaker 2>lab of politics in political science looking at specifically campaign

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:11.400
<v Speaker 2>finance donations among various fields of professional fields, and the

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:16.600
<v Speaker 2>most republican fields run from.

0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Thirty three percent of.

0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Them donate to Democrats down to just ten percent of them.

0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:28.000
<v Speaker 2>But most of them, there are only a few that

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:31.320
<v Speaker 2>are that little, like oil workers and miners ten to

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:37.560
<v Speaker 2>eleven percent, they're extremely republican fields. But auctioneer, bank officer,

0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 2>plant manager, nurseryman, landscape contractor, insurance agent, truck driver, farmer, anesthesiologist,

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 2>dairy farmer, all those things are about thirty percent I

0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 2>donate to democrats. Thirty percent of that field goes against

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the grain. Maybe it's more like twenty percent when you

0:28:57.040 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 2>get down to ranchers and mechanical contracts. But the really

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:05.880
<v Speaker 2>the bulk of them, it's about two thirds one third, okay. Now,

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:10.719
<v Speaker 2>among the most democratic fields, those are the most republican fields.

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Among the most democratic fields, which range from union organizer

0:29:15.360 --> 0:29:20.880
<v Speaker 2>to arts administration administrator, professor of this that and the other, epidemiologists,

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:26.680
<v Speaker 2>psychotherapists to conservationists, yoga instructor, social worker, TV producer, screenwriter,

0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 2>professor of law, film director, all those things. They ranged

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:36.600
<v Speaker 2>from ninety one to ninety nine percent Democrat.

0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 1>So, just to summarize it, in the most.

0:29:41.280 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Republican fields, on average, a third of the people kicking

0:29:45.720 --> 0:29:49.680
<v Speaker 2>around are Democrats. You'll hear their point of view, you'll

0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 2>get to know them, you'll like them, You'll think, well,

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 2>their politics are wacky, but he's a good guy, she's

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 2>a good gal.

0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah.

0:29:56.720 --> 0:30:00.560
<v Speaker 2>In the most democratic fields it is ninety Well, the

0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 2>average is ninety five percent Democrat. So you self select

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:08.480
<v Speaker 2>where you live to be around people that think like you.

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Then you go to work with people that think like you,

0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:14.640
<v Speaker 2>and you never encounter anybody who who you could say, well,

0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:16.880
<v Speaker 2>they have different politics, but they seem to be nice.

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 1>They don't seem like they're hitler or anything.

0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Right, They're not a correct caricature of you know, evil

0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:24.680
<v Speaker 2>like I get from social media, for instance. And the

0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 2>case has been made many times that conservatives are subjected

0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 2>to more progressive points of view via the media and

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 2>popular culture, and you know, in academia it's unavoidable, so

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 2>you get used to it. It's fine. You consider those arguments.

0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 2>You don't like them, you walk away from them. Folks

0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:49.040
<v Speaker 2>in blue bubbles never hear a conservative express conservative ideas,

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:53.640
<v Speaker 2>or virtually never. It's why their ideas are so wacky,

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 2>or see one in the wild right exactly. So all

0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 2>they can picture is this cartoonish fangs dripping with blood,

0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Trump worshiping.

0:31:04.560 --> 0:31:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Lunatic speaking of speaking of fangs dripping with blood. Uh.

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:12.200
<v Speaker 1>They think they've nailed down who's running Iran.

0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we got a couple of publications talking about that today.

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:18.080
<v Speaker 1>We'll get into that an hour or two. Among other things.

0:31:18.080 --> 0:31:19.320
<v Speaker 2>We got mail bag on the way. I hope you

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:28.680
<v Speaker 2>can stay here. We never mentioned this the other day.

0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:31.160
<v Speaker 2>We should read some of it. The Washington Post editorial

0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 2>board last week pushed back hard on Kamala Harris, saying

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Democrats should not pack the Supreme Court. That would be

0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:41.920
<v Speaker 2>devastating to our country, and explained why maybe we'll do

0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:45.160
<v Speaker 2>that later. It's pretty interesting. Good, good, Yeah, I love

0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:47.719
<v Speaker 2>that idea. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day,

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:51.600
<v Speaker 2>just sent along by alert listener Patrick to our topic

0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 2>of only a couple of months ago. Charlie Munger, who's

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:56.400
<v Speaker 2>a good down to earth author. I've read some of

0:31:56.480 --> 0:31:59.320
<v Speaker 2>this stuff. He said, the world is not driven by

0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:04.200
<v Speaker 2>greed driven by envy. No, I think it's probably driven

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:09.120
<v Speaker 2>by both. Depends who you're talking about. That's going to

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:10.960
<v Speaker 2>go off on a tangent, but we don't really have time.

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Mailbag woo, yeah, yeah yah. Got this note for oh

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:20.360
<v Speaker 2>drop his note mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com.

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Got this note from Adam Thanks for bringing up the

0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:26.800
<v Speaker 2>IRS settlement story in the slush fund on today's show yesterday.

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I count on you guys giving it to me straight.

0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 2>And I was disturbed by yet another move by Trump

0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:35.280
<v Speaker 2>that feels gross, to say the least. Maybe our opinion's

0:32:35.280 --> 0:32:37.400
<v Speaker 2>part ways here, but he seems more and more interested

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:39.520
<v Speaker 2>in benefiting a smaller portion of the country.

0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't sit well with me. And I think he.

0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Owes more to a larger group of people, and including

0:32:44.200 --> 0:32:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the folks who voted for him.

0:32:46.640 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would agree.

0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I realized this sounds unbearably sincere in

0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:54.440
<v Speaker 2>the cynical age, but we're for the United States of

0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:58.600
<v Speaker 2>America and sanity around here, not for Trump per se,

0:32:58.720 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 2>except when he's right, not for a party when they suck.

0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 2>We'll call him out if you like it. Great thank

0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:10.000
<v Speaker 2>you for listening. If you don't go bye, good luck, La,

0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:12.720
<v Speaker 2>And he says, as we were finishing the segment, I

0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:15.400
<v Speaker 2>was thinking myself the recent leadership the d White House.

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:18.000
<v Speaker 2>In the White House, Oh yeah, several going back, several

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:22.680
<v Speaker 2>unacceptable commitment to serve the citizens of the country. Is

0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 2>there a chance it's saving what the forefathers fought so

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:27.560
<v Speaker 2>hard to achieve? Then Joe said, it's been a great

0:33:27.560 --> 0:33:29.720
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and fifty years. That's a wrap hard.

0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:31.560
<v Speaker 1>To disagree with. You finish the week.

0:33:31.400 --> 0:33:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Strong, boys, he urges us. All right, Adam, we'll do

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:34.800
<v Speaker 2>our best.

0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Love that.

0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Finish the week strong.

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Ah.

0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 1>That goes against her motto, though, start slow and taper off.

0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:44.440
<v Speaker 1>It's true that'd be a new leaf, Adam.

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:47.680
<v Speaker 2>But we'll try a number of folks weighing in on

0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google's commencement speech, and

0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:53.960
<v Speaker 2>how all the youngsters were booing him every time he

0:33:54.040 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 2>brought up AI now number one. I think they're probably

0:33:57.440 --> 0:34:00.680
<v Speaker 2>hitting the marguerite is pretty hard there at the University Arizona.

0:34:00.760 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 2>But who knows, Kevin writes, some morning guys, the tone

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:07.960
<v Speaker 2>deafness of mister Schmidt was striking but not surprising. What

0:34:08.000 --> 0:34:10.360
<v Speaker 2>was equally striking was the response of the grads of

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:12.440
<v Speaker 2>this generation. I would wager that there was not a

0:34:12.480 --> 0:34:14.839
<v Speaker 2>single one of them without a smartphone and at least

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 2>one AI chat app installed, and ninety nine percent probably

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.520
<v Speaker 2>had chatbot helping write their papers during the cap and

0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:23.600
<v Speaker 2>gown they were wearing. Yes, I received a text from

0:34:23.600 --> 0:34:26.440
<v Speaker 2>a good old friend who is a law school teacher

0:34:26.960 --> 0:34:30.480
<v Speaker 2>and said, are you kidding me? Most, if not all,

0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:32.800
<v Speaker 2>of my students use AI every day to get the

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:33.439
<v Speaker 2>work done.

0:34:34.320 --> 0:34:37.719
<v Speaker 1>So doesn't mean you don't boot wood and bullet, I

0:34:37.840 --> 0:34:40.840
<v Speaker 1>use Chat. I use AI ten times a day. I

0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:41.960
<v Speaker 1>would still boo.

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:44.240
<v Speaker 2>A speech where they talk about the future of AI

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:48.440
<v Speaker 2>is coming boo right right, It's it's a mixed bag

0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:49.080
<v Speaker 2>of course.

0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:49.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:54.320
<v Speaker 2>And then this from frequent correspondent Pallo, the visceral reaction

0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:56.840
<v Speaker 2>many people have AI reminds me of telling a toddler

0:34:56.880 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 2>they need an unpleasant medical procedure. The fear of the crying,

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.279
<v Speaker 2>the resistance are entirely real, and they matter, but it

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:05.160
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't stop. The procedure should signal to the parents that

0:35:05.200 --> 0:35:08.200
<v Speaker 2>the fear deserves to be acknowledged or addressed. You touched

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:10.799
<v Speaker 2>on that one. You played Eric Schmid's graduation speech. The

0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:13.080
<v Speaker 2>problem is the parents building AI don't seem to be

0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:17.000
<v Speaker 2>listening to the room. We must absolutely govern how AIS deployed,

0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:19.520
<v Speaker 2>but I don't think AI development canner should be slowed.

0:35:19.800 --> 0:35:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Humans are built to learn. It's our greatest strength. It's

0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:23.319
<v Speaker 1>what we do.

0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:26.480
<v Speaker 2>The danger has never been the acquisition of knowledge, but

0:35:26.520 --> 0:35:28.680
<v Speaker 2>the risk of failing to develop the wisdom to guide

0:35:28.680 --> 0:35:31.160
<v Speaker 2>its use. That's some good writing there. The difference this

0:35:31.200 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 2>time is that the stakes are higher than ever. Responding

0:35:36.000 --> 0:35:38.640
<v Speaker 2>the challenges brought by AI feels as daunting. Is storming

0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:42.120
<v Speaker 2>the beaches at Normandy overwhelming, terrifying, far bigger than any

0:35:42.120 --> 0:35:43.800
<v Speaker 2>one of us. We don't know what's going to happen,

0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:45.880
<v Speaker 2>but we go anyway because we have to.

0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 1>What's the alternative? That's a very grown up thing to say.

0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Somebody ought to get into the ear of all your

0:35:52.040 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 2>tech giants and there's only like eight of them control

0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:56.920
<v Speaker 2>in the whole AI world right now, and say.

0:35:57.520 --> 0:35:59.160
<v Speaker 1>People are scared to death of this.

0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:02.759
<v Speaker 2>You can't keep presenting it like it's obviously good for them,

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:06.399
<v Speaker 2>because they don't feel that way. Your toddler doesn't want

0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:08.640
<v Speaker 2>a shot, no matter how much good it does them

0:36:08.680 --> 0:36:11.279
<v Speaker 2>to get back to that metaphor. Ah, there's another really

0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:15.040
<v Speaker 2>good one here from Jerry and Fairbanks, but we don't

0:36:15.040 --> 0:36:19.120
<v Speaker 2>have time. Yeah, we'll get to that later. It's good

0:36:19.160 --> 0:36:21.279
<v Speaker 2>about this about AI as well. Yeah, And if you

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:23.000
<v Speaker 2>have any thoughts on it, you can text us of course,

0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:25.839
<v Speaker 2>the text line four one, five, two nine five KFTC.

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 2>We got a lot on the way, good stuff of

0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:30.560
