Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Petty and he arms get it.
Speaker 2: Who live from Studio C see signor It is a
Speaker 2: dimly lit room deeper in the bowels of the Armstrong
Speaker 2: and Getty Communications compound.
Speaker 1: You can smell the weekend from there.
Speaker 2: On Little Friday and today we are under the tutelage
Speaker 2: of our general manager.
Speaker 3: Your holiday travel plans, Oh boy, will they be this screwed?
Speaker 1: This is getting real up in here with the whole
Speaker 1: shut down. Now it's real, the shumor shut down.
Speaker 2: Jack, Okay, it took a month, but now it's real.
Speaker 2: Now it not matters like everybody, So.
Speaker 3: Any Republican messaging continues to be just miserably bad.
Speaker 1: But I won't harp on about that more.
Speaker 3: Almost, I need to meet what's his name, Tom Smith,
Speaker 3: Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, if that is
Speaker 3: his real name, John Doe, and tell him, dude, look,
Speaker 3: just call me in a ten minute phone call. Will
Speaker 3: agree on some good simple verbiage all your people can use.
Speaker 3: I know it's kind of insulting to the intelligence of
Speaker 3: people that they hear the same talking point.
Speaker 1: Over and over again.
Speaker 3: But in the modern world, in a country at three
Speaker 3: hundred and forty million people, you've got to.
Speaker 1: Have a concise message.
Speaker 2: And the reason it's getting real is they're gonna cancel
Speaker 2: tons of flights starting tomorrow to deal with the shortages
Speaker 2: at the airport. So we've got details on that coming
Speaker 2: up in a moment. But yeah, it's gonna start affecting everyone.
Speaker 3: I will be sel pissed if my family's giant Thanksgiving
Speaker 3: week plans get messed up.
Speaker 2: Start if it's this is happening over Thanksgiving, it can't.
Speaker 2: That's a pressure point. That's a pressure point of solving
Speaker 2: the problem. Thanksgiving no way, because I mean, you would
Speaker 2: have one very angry electorate because it would affect everybody's
Speaker 2: travel plans right right.
Speaker 3: And not to get into the specifics of it, because
Speaker 3: I'm not in the mood, but to play that fast
Speaker 3: and loose with abusing people and the things that matter
Speaker 3: to them most pursuit of happiness in the name of
Speaker 3: seeing who will be blamed and perhaps we can get
Speaker 3: a temporary and incremental advantage in the midterms.
Speaker 1: God, I'd like to put all their heads and vices. Ah,
Speaker 1: that sounds like political violence.
Speaker 3: Although I was thinking about this, I need to talk
Speaker 3: to Hanson about this. How's our f Yalliican Party March
Speaker 3: coming along? I demand an f Yalliican Party T shirt.
Speaker 3: This is my new political party I created.
Speaker 1: I'm tired of y'all.
Speaker 3: F y'all, and We've formed a political party, f Yallickans and.
Speaker 1: Our our our logo is where is It's around here? Somewhere?
Speaker 1: Is there? It is is a.
Speaker 3: Deemed eagle in front of a couple of stripes and
Speaker 3: a couple of stars. Very American, fantastic. What's that's the
Speaker 3: American spirit? Though, isn't it? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Come on? What's the most popular TV show in America? NFL? NFL?
Speaker 2: NFL Football? And I got a game tonight Raiders Broncos.
Speaker 2: I'm rooting for the Raiders. I'm a Chiefs fan and
Speaker 2: I need them to lose. But main the main thing
Speaker 2: I was going to bring it up for is I
Speaker 2: heard this somewhere else and just I looked it up
Speaker 2: a little bit because I wanted more information. Today is
Speaker 2: the anniversary of really the beginning of football. The first
Speaker 2: ever college football game was played today, and then that
Speaker 2: became popular, and then the NFL came out of that
Speaker 2: professional football. And then I heard them on the tea say,
Speaker 2: of course, in the first college football game, which was
Speaker 2: played on this day in eighteen sixty nine, I think
Speaker 2: holy counting that early. Well, they just threw out there
Speaker 2: and then moved on to the next story without any
Speaker 2: more explanation. Of course, in the first football game, they
Speaker 2: were not allowed to carry the football or throw it
Speaker 2: in other news, and I thought, what they.
Speaker 1: Were playing soccer? What now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's called soccer. So I looked it
Speaker 2: up and yeah, basically was soccer. It was basically soccer.
Speaker 2: Twenty five players on each team. You could not throw
Speaker 2: or carry the ball. You could only kick it into
Speaker 2: the other team's goal. And the final score Rutgers beat
Speaker 2: Princeton six to four. But yeah, so it started as soccer,
Speaker 2: and then somebody wisely because getting back to your American spirit,
Speaker 2: said well this is af we gotta do something. You
Speaker 2: get more scoring and going here, and then you start
Speaker 2: carrying it and throwing it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all good news. Yes, indeed, the f Yolican
Speaker 3: Party T shirts are available and very very sharp.
Speaker 1: Yes, Katie, I have your favorite.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Giddy fan as Christmas is rapidly approaching, Armstrong
Speaker 3: and Giddy dot com Katie, Sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 4: I have some breaking news. Nancy Pelosi has announced her
Speaker 4: retirement officially announced officially.
Speaker 3: She unofficially announced it the other day, Right, this is
Speaker 3: the official and we talked about it, yes, which will
Speaker 3: be followed by the congressional announcement and the national federal announcement.
Speaker 1: And she's what eighty three ish, I thought we already
Speaker 1: knew this, but all news is going crazy with this.
Speaker 1: Everybody in the world is reporting breaking news.
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi, rail blazing San Francisco Democrat who leveraged decades
Speaker 2: of power in the US House of Representatives to become
Speaker 2: one of the most influential political leaders per generation. No
Speaker 2: doubt about that, one of the most effective politicians of
Speaker 2: my lifetime. Will not run for reelection in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Why because she's a million years old man. She was
Speaker 2: good in her prime.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, good looking gal too, back before electricity.
Speaker 1: Wow wow. Why a shot on her way out the door.
Speaker 2: After a lifetime of public service, that was a compliment
Speaker 2: her giving the r whistled at her as she walked
Speaker 2: down the halls of the Capitol, a lifetime of public service, which,
Speaker 2: of course I'm saying sarcastically, in which she dedicated her
Speaker 2: life to serving the public.
Speaker 1: A mere salary of tens of millions of dollars.
Speaker 2: Somehow that she and her family made her husband's a
Speaker 2: good investor.
Speaker 1: He had good information. Not sure where he got it. Oh,
Speaker 1: all right, that seems to me.
Speaker 2: I mean, if there's ever a not a real revolution
Speaker 2: like guns, but like a real political revolution where a
Speaker 2: brand new party emerges, like Macrone in France, you know,
Speaker 2: where just everybody's so fed up with the two political
Speaker 2: parties you try something completely different.
Speaker 1: That might be one of the topics.
Speaker 2: How does everybody go off the government, we know what
Speaker 2: their salary is, and then leave wealthy?
Speaker 1: What is the story?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I have these weird fantasies now and again
Speaker 3: about no, don'try everything, it'll be fine, about the founding
Speaker 3: papas somehow via time machine or wormhole or something, being
Speaker 3: in the modern era and having a conversation with them.
Speaker 1: I know it's weird, but I enjoy it.
Speaker 3: And I think, you know, Madison and Jefferson and Washington
Speaker 3: and at all would be fascinated and horrified but fascinated
Speaker 3: by all of the ways a large and powerful government
Speaker 3: perverts our society. And I think they would have anticipated
Speaker 3: a lot of them, but not that one.
Speaker 1: Not that one exactly. But yeah, the reasons.
Speaker 3: You don't want and especially large and powerful government in
Speaker 3: charge of everything are there are many, many of them,
Speaker 3: and yet.
Speaker 1: Here we are.
Speaker 2: So let's start the show officially because our clip deals
Speaker 2: with the shutdown getting real for all of us. I'm
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday,
Speaker 2: November sixth, year, twenty twenty five. Were Armstrong and Getti
Speaker 2: and we approve of this program. Let's begin that officially.
Speaker 3: According to FCC rules and regulations, the show starts at mark.
Speaker 3: To put this simpling, the FIA is imposing a ten
Speaker 3: percent cut the flights at forty major airports across the country.
Speaker 1: Ten percent cut the flights forty airports.
Speaker 2: It's going to be thousands of flights canceled, thousands at
Speaker 2: ten percent. Frontier Airlines is announced, buy a backup ticket
Speaker 2: when you buy your ticket. United Airlines is announced they're
Speaker 2: going to refund because there's a there's a decent chance
Speaker 2: you're gonna loot. Miss your flight, and this is just
Speaker 2: the beginning. It's just starting, reel. I hadn't heard that.
Speaker 3: So which which airline is saying buy a backup ticket?
Speaker 1: Frontier?
Speaker 2: Not exactly in the most mainstream of airlines, but I
Speaker 2: think that's probably just a smart move.
Speaker 1: They do a lot of business.
Speaker 3: So in other words, yeah, mom, dad, I'll be flying
Speaker 3: in Tuesday, unless that's canceled. I have a ticket for
Speaker 3: Thursday at five am.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Wow, you have to be able, and you gotta be
Speaker 1: able to whim I over there.
Speaker 2: You gotta have to be You gotta have no idea,
Speaker 2: come back, come back. You gotta have enough money to
Speaker 2: be able to buy two tickets, which ain't you know,
Speaker 2: necessarily easy. I'll just throw out another eight hundred dollars
Speaker 2: to have a backup ticket.
Speaker 1: Good idea. Thanks. I'm telling you this and vices, and
Speaker 1: I think ten percent is the start. I think.
Speaker 2: I First of all, I wonder if Trump worked with
Speaker 2: his transportation secretary.
Speaker 1: He was out yesterday.
Speaker 2: We'll play the clips later saying the shutdown killed us
Speaker 2: and Republicans are getting killed on this and we got
Speaker 2: to end it.
Speaker 1: So he thinks the shutdown needs to come to an end.
Speaker 2: I wonder if he didn't tell the Transportation secretary here,
Speaker 2: we're gonna cause some pain, We're gonna make this thing end.
Speaker 2: Or maybe the Transportation Secretary is just on his own
Speaker 2: saying this has gotten to the point where it's gonna
Speaker 2: get dangerous and I'm gonna get blamed for it.
Speaker 1: So we got it. We gotta do something here.
Speaker 2: Either way, it and now has reached everyone because it's
Speaker 2: going to affect everyone.
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of Sean Duffy. I think he's
Speaker 3: the best transportation secretary we've had for a very, very
Speaker 3: long time. And I heard an interview he did in
Speaker 3: which he explained, look, if we wait until we are
Speaker 3: truly overstaffed and overworked in air traffic control and the
Speaker 3: unthinkable happens, are we gonna correct?
Speaker 1: Then no, we've got to get ahead of this.
Speaker 3: It was very compelling, and it's almost certain that with
Speaker 3: maybe an exception or two, that forty airports is going
Speaker 3: to be the big forty that everybody has to fly
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 2: Of course this is and the reason I say it's
Speaker 2: gona affet everybody. Then we gotta take a break. But
Speaker 2: you remember how this has been when there's been huge
Speaker 2: travel disruptions in the past. You can't find a rental
Speaker 2: car anywhere in the country. Airport hotels are all booked up.
Speaker 2: Everything gets crazy fast when people can't travel around like they're.
Speaker 3: Supposed to right right, cascades, Yeah, that's the that's the
Speaker 3: perfect year.
Speaker 1: That's the tracks together, or you're gonna find your head
Speaker 1: and you know what metaphorically speaking, elector release, imagine.
Speaker 2: Watching a foot watching watch the Broncos Raiders tonight and
Speaker 2: they announced no running or throwing, I mean no carrying
Speaker 2: the ball or throwing.
Speaker 1: I ain't watching. Wow, Oh I got some pain. I
Speaker 1: gotta watch it.
Speaker 2: Wait that Katie's headlines coming up next to they hear.
Speaker 2: Social media is as cesspool and you can't believe hardly
Speaker 2: anything do you see? But have you've seen the video
Speaker 2: going around where the claim is that Charlie Kirk's widow.
Speaker 1: Was caught squirting.
Speaker 2: Some liquid in her eyes so that she could have
Speaker 2: tears when she needed them to cry in front of
Speaker 2: a crowd. Oh boy, which I don't believe is what
Speaker 2: was happening in that video, But that is the claim.
Speaker 2: That is some pretty awful ass right there. It's plumbing
Speaker 2: the depths of the mass that is rough. Good lord,
Speaker 2: you're a mother of two little kids and your husband
Speaker 2: was murdered in front of you. That person, then that
Speaker 2: situation could cry pretty often, make it a little emotion,
Speaker 2: maybe for the rest of their lives.
Speaker 1: That's okay. That's monstrous.
Speaker 3: Somebody who would say that out loud is monstrous, either
Speaker 3: in their utter incapacity to understand human beings or their
Speaker 3: willingness to say it even though they.
Speaker 1: Know it's awful.
Speaker 3: That is amazing. Right, let's figure out who's supporting what.
Speaker 3: It's the lead's story with Katie Green. Katie take it
Speaker 3: away all right?
Speaker 1: He starting with ABC News.
Speaker 4: Supreme Court justices appear skeptical on Trump's tariffs, but some
Speaker 4: may give leeway.
Speaker 2: America is happy that Joe Getty, who almost went to
Speaker 2: law school, has been listening to the oral arguments and
Speaker 2: is going to let us know what he has learned.
Speaker 3: Hours of oral arguments yesterday, hours and it helped that
Speaker 3: My wife was out of town. So I wandered through
Speaker 3: the house, shirtless, bedraggled, unwashed, sad, confused, listening to oral
Speaker 3: arguments at Supreme Court, and I got a pretty good grasp.
Speaker 2: All I know is a grateful country awaits your assessment.
Speaker 1: Well, stay tuned, Katie NBC News.
Speaker 4: Trump official says partial snap benefits for November will be
Speaker 4: more than previously estimated.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, he's reading the election results from Tuesday as same
Speaker 2: way everybody else was reading them. That it's all about
Speaker 2: affordability all across America, and somebody gets blamed for the
Speaker 2: fact that everything is so expensive, usually the party in power,
Speaker 2: and so he's doubling down on that message.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Seriously, if you are watching an interview with a Democrat
Speaker 3: about the election or the upcoming mid terms or anything
Speaker 3: like that, Seriously, the minute they're introduced, take a deep
Speaker 3: breath and holds your breath. You will not even be
Speaker 3: lightheaded by the time they use the word affordability or affordable.
Speaker 1: It is their new mantra from the Hill, New York US.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you intended to sound I don't know,
Speaker 1: dismissive of that. It's like the No. One issue in
Speaker 1: the country for everyone, including me, So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it's astute.
Speaker 2: Indeed, I would hope that whatever politician sits down and
Speaker 2: has talked to they get to the word affordability pretty quick.
Speaker 3: There's one giant flaw in that argument, but it's going
Speaker 3: to be effective.
Speaker 1: I will reveal that flaw later. A grateful nation awaits.
Speaker 4: From the Hill, New York Fire commissioner resigns following Mom
Speaker 4: Donnie Wynn.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, first of many, I suspect. Now that's gonna
Speaker 1: be something to watch.
Speaker 4: From the Wall Street Journal, hundreds of Hamas fighters are
Speaker 4: stuck in tunnels and Israeli controlled Gaza.
Speaker 3: And am I supposed to be worried about that? Or
Speaker 3: heavily armed? And if the Israelis say, hey, you're not
Speaker 3: supposed to be down their arm, they shoot them and
Speaker 3: kill them. So, yeah, they have a cabal of armed
Speaker 3: fighters in the Israeli controlled part of it according to
Speaker 3: the peace Agreement. Ready to murder Israelis the moment they
Speaker 3: get a chance.
Speaker 2: They run out of food eventually, won't they, Oh you
Speaker 2: would think, lead them down in a hole.
Speaker 1: From Breitbart dot Com.
Speaker 4: Judge orders Bureau of Prisons to provide sex chains surgery
Speaker 4: to transgender pedophile inmate.
Speaker 1: Wow, and the taxpayer's fund that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll shows up in prison, decides they are
Speaker 2: different sex and the taxpayer gets to pay for the
Speaker 2: surgery because they're a sex pervert already and they decide
Speaker 2: they're going to explore a different.
Speaker 1: Avenue of that hobby's.
Speaker 4: Happening in North Carolina. Obscene From page six, Kim Kardashian
Speaker 4: blames chat GPT for failing law exams.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that story. Oh we got to go
Speaker 1: into that.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 1: I forgot she was going to law school.
Speaker 3: I would like to ask chip chat ChiPT what the
Speaker 3: right answer is for the exam, and it would give
Speaker 3: me the wrong one and I totally failed.
Speaker 2: But it would actually be interesting if the truth is
Speaker 2: she was studying and used chat GPT and it gave
Speaker 2: her a some wrong information that she memorized.
Speaker 1: Laying it.
Speaker 4: And finally this one from the Babylon b So run Mom,
Speaker 4: Donnie horrified to discover he now has a job, his
Speaker 4: first job as mayor of New York.
Speaker 1: City, that is going to screw up his lifestyle.
Speaker 2: We got to figure out this whole chat GPT. How
Speaker 2: often it gives you the wrong answer? I look up
Speaker 2: stuff every single day and assume as is probably right.
Speaker 2: I wonder how how often I'm completely misled?
Speaker 3: Well, and imagine twenty year old you without your accumulated
Speaker 3: knowledge and life experience.
Speaker 1: Yeah, imagine that with hair and everything.
Speaker 2: Wow, Joe's got all his wisdom for us coming up,
Speaker 2: grow strong and getty.
Speaker 1: Can you see this story?
Speaker 2: This is while Tom Brady just revealed that his dog
Speaker 2: is a clone of his family's old dog, then his
Speaker 2: second Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: Ran into the room and now don't listen to him.
Speaker 2: He's not the real Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: That's amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, many football teams, like the Jets, for instance, You're thinking,
Speaker 2: can we clone the owner of the dog? Is there
Speaker 2: any chance of that? That would actually be an interesting cloning,
Speaker 2: although I'm against cloning humans. To make the point about cloning,
Speaker 2: if you cloned Tom Brady, he would have the same genetics,
Speaker 2: but a different brain, probably a brain that doesn't decide
Speaker 2: to take a moderately athletic body at age twenty two
Speaker 2: and turn it into something completely different with an amount
Speaker 2: of work and dedication that has rarely been seen on
Speaker 2: planet Earth.
Speaker 3: Well, and that Tom Brady Junior would not interact with
Speaker 3: Tom Brady's parents in the way that Tom did, nor
Speaker 3: his friends, nor that girl who gave him an admiring
Speaker 3: look after he threw his first touchdown pass, or whatever
Speaker 3: that shapes a person anyway, had Tom Brady cloned his dog,
Speaker 3: but he's invested heavily in this company that does that.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Please, I understand. So there's lots
Speaker 1: of dogs, Tom your numskull.
Speaker 2: First of all, not all the reporting has been good
Speaker 2: over this major announcement by the Transportation Secretary that they're
Speaker 2: going to cut ten percent of flights at the forty
Speaker 2: airports that they haven't named, but as Joe said, the're
Speaker 2: probably gonn be the forty biggest airports. And I was
Speaker 2: listening to one newscaster they said it could be hundreds
Speaker 2: of flights.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, they.
Speaker 2: Say, oh, it's going to be more like forty five
Speaker 2: hundred flights canceled on Saturday, for instance, on Saturday, just Saturday,
Speaker 2: forty five hundred flights, not hundreds of flights. Five hundred
Speaker 2: flights on Saturday. So that is technically hundreds of flights, yes,
Speaker 2: forty five hundred, but it does not send the message
Speaker 2: that is what you need. Then we got this text
Speaker 2: because I said, man, it's really going to be there's
Speaker 2: no way they allow us to go through Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: We got this.
Speaker 2: There are millions of us working men and women who
Speaker 2: could give a gd about taking a flight over the holidays.
Speaker 2: It's just you whiny small men like Jack who care about.
Speaker 1: S like that.
Speaker 3: But wow, I pity you, my friend, to have a
Speaker 3: pinched heart full of dark hatred like that. You have
Speaker 3: that attitude about family who don't see each other nearly
Speaker 3: as often as they'd like getting together for the holidays.
Speaker 1: That's that's troubling.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a pinched heart that killed Dick Cheney.
Speaker 2: A pinched heart. I've never heard that term. That's a
Speaker 2: good one. I'm gonna start using it. You and your
Speaker 2: pinched heart, get out of here, your bad attitude.
Speaker 1: You got to pick your spots.
Speaker 2: But anyway, aside from just replying to that's gotta be.
Speaker 3: Trolling or somebody who's just profoundly unhappy. Seriously, sir, I
Speaker 3: will I will pray for you and hope for your
Speaker 3: finding joy someday.
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna get into.
Speaker 2: This, but let me turn the amateur therapist for a moment.
Speaker 2: My guess would be, you've got a family dynamic that
Speaker 2: you wish was different for all kinds of reasons that
Speaker 2: may or may not be any of your fault, and
Speaker 2: it makes you angry that other people put so much
Speaker 2: effort into getting together on Thanksgiving because we used to
Speaker 2: work with a guy whose dad left when he was
Speaker 2: a little kid, and his take on Father's Day that
Speaker 2: it was just a day to try to rub it
Speaker 2: in the face of people who don't have dads. It
Speaker 2: was like an angry, vengeful day, is what Father's Day was.
Speaker 2: And I thought, God, that's horrible. And you know, I
Speaker 2: can't really blame him. I didn't have that experience, thank God,
Speaker 2: of my dad walking out the door when I was
Speaker 2: two years old. But still, I mean, today's word is projection,
Speaker 2: projection or projecting, putting your psychology on somebody else.
Speaker 1: That's sad, that's too bad.
Speaker 2: Right, And I guess I'm guessing that's what's going on
Speaker 2: with this Thanksgiving thing here. But as I pointed out
Speaker 2: with Joe coming with the fantastic word cascading, if you'll
Speaker 2: remember from past holiday flubs with the airlines and everything
Speaker 2: like that, even if people are just driving, there won't
Speaker 2: be a rental car. The roads will be absolutely packed,
Speaker 2: and people won't be able to get anywhere or stay
Speaker 2: at a hotel while they're traveling or anything, because it
Speaker 2: all just it just all falls apart the whole travel thing,
Speaker 2: and it's the busiest travel weekend of the flipping year,
Speaker 2: whether you travel.
Speaker 1: Sirt or not. Right, So anyway, I like it. You
Speaker 1: can't interesting with somebody like that. I find it interesting though. Well.
Speaker 3: And while we're preoccupied trying to figure out what flight
Speaker 3: to take, the turkeys will flee into the woods not
Speaker 3: to be seen again. We'll be forced to eat I
Speaker 3: don't know what hamburgers are, something terrible awful.
Speaker 2: So the word of the year, if we're picking a
Speaker 2: word of the year based on the last thirty six hours,
Speaker 2: would be affordability. All of your pundits claiming that's why
Speaker 2: Democrats won, and the Republicans talking about we need to
Speaker 2: start talking more about that, and et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1: You know why, because it's true.
Speaker 2: It is one of the biggest problems we've got going
Speaker 2: in as COVID and then all these ridiculous bills we
Speaker 2: went and an inflation, and we've never adjusted emotionally to
Speaker 2: the new prices.
Speaker 1: I know I haven't.
Speaker 2: I'm still shocked every time I go to the grocery
Speaker 2: store or go to a restaurant, I'm still surprised.
Speaker 1: At the end by the bill, and and for isn't
Speaker 1: much more rapidly than wages.
Speaker 2: And everything is so expensive, like they were using an
Speaker 2: example I think is New Jersey. Their energy prices had
Speaker 2: gone up twenty percent in the last year. Yeah, well
Speaker 2: California were like, well, we'd love it if it were
Speaker 2: only twenty percent.
Speaker 1: So many things are so expensive.
Speaker 2: I think regularly, how would twenty five year old me
Speaker 2: have survived. I probably have a couple of roommates and
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe take the bus because I couldn't
Speaker 2: afford car insurance.
Speaker 1: It's just crazy.
Speaker 2: My son, my high school son, last night, was saying,
Speaker 2: I don't understand how I'm going to be able to
Speaker 2: move out when I'm eighteen. I just don't understand how
Speaker 2: I'm ever going to be able to afford it. And
Speaker 2: I said, well, you're fifteen, so we don't have to
Speaker 2: worry about that right now. But I wonder about that too.
Speaker 2: Car insurance is very same. Energy bills are insane, and
Speaker 2: of course rent and home prices are crazy. And one
Speaker 2: of the big numbers that came out yesterday that got
Speaker 2: so much attention that I wanted to talk about is
Speaker 2: the median age of a first time home buyer hit
Speaker 2: a record high forty years old in the most recent survey.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Comparing that fairly recently to it was thirty three in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, it was twenty Wait wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 2: it's moved seven years in four years.
Speaker 1: That's practically impossible. That's crazy. Yeah. What was an interest
Speaker 1: rate in twenty twenty one? Two percent? Yeah, granted, right.
Speaker 2: And again it hit forty average. The median age of
Speaker 2: first time home buyer hit forty. It was twenty nine
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty one. That's how much it has changed
Speaker 2: now and over the last year, first time home buyers
Speaker 2: made up just twenty one percent of purchases. That's the
Speaker 2: lowest it's ever been in terms of a percentage of
Speaker 2: people buying houses.
Speaker 1: First time home buyers.
Speaker 2: Now there is the not just can you afford it
Speaker 2: or not. I'm a renter. I can afford to buy
Speaker 2: a house. I just thought it was a bad idea.
Speaker 2: A lot of people are doing that. Uh, even younger.
Speaker 2: Where you you'd you know, you might have come to
Speaker 2: the legitimate conclusion that I'm better off renting right now
Speaker 2: than buying a house, even though I've got enough saved
Speaker 2: up I could buy a house or whatever.
Speaker 1: So that factors in somewhat, doesn't it.
Speaker 3: Ah, Sure, yeah, yeah, the housing market is in a
Speaker 3: very weird spot.
Speaker 1: As we've talked about many times. It's stuck.
Speaker 3: All the people who had crazy low interest rates on
Speaker 3: their mortgages can't give that up. They can't move up,
Speaker 3: they can't downsize, and that, you know, clogs everything up,
Speaker 3: as we've discussed.
Speaker 1: But major changes like this should get more attention.
Speaker 2: And I guess that's what's happening over the last thirty
Speaker 2: six hours with both parties realizing what's people's top issue.
Speaker 2: But you go from meeting home first time home buyer
Speaker 2: twenty nine when I was in high school to forty now,
Speaker 2: that's a pretty big change.
Speaker 1: In the structure of society, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: And there are sociological causes too, Sure, I'm quite confident
Speaker 3: of that. I mean, you just look at the prolonged
Speaker 3: adolescence of young adult porn. You do have porn. I
Speaker 3: hadn't thought of that. But and and also, and this
Speaker 3: is digging a bit deep, but I think we need
Speaker 3: to dig more to fundamental reasons than we do because
Speaker 3: I've been reading about this a lot and it's one
Speaker 3: of my top five or so g Hods Joe's top
Speaker 3: five ghods will do thatday at eight ought.
Speaker 1: To actually list them anyway.
Speaker 3: One of them is the idea of free range parenting
Speaker 3: and how just read a great, great think piece that
Speaker 3: I'll share with you at some point to parent better,
Speaker 3: parent less, and how the style of parenting that has
Speaker 3: removed all risk, all failure and learning to overcome failure,
Speaker 3: free play, decision making. Just the whole free range parenting
Speaker 3: thing or three free range child thing has contributed to
Speaker 3: people who do not do the things it takes to
Speaker 3: get ahead because they're still learning how to be an
Speaker 3: adult at a much later age.
Speaker 1: But it all factors in. You can't just cite one thing.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're much less likely to buy a house if
Speaker 2: you're not getting married and having kids. True, much less
Speaker 2: likely if your focus is I want to be a
Speaker 2: world traveler, so I want to have an apartment and
Speaker 2: travel around a lot, which is a lot of young people.
Speaker 2: You're putting your money into a backpacking through Europe. You're
Speaker 2: not putting your money into a down payment on a house.
Speaker 2: Just yeah, And you get to do that as long
Speaker 2: as as long as at some point you don't come
Speaker 2: to me and say I need some of your money, right, or.
Speaker 3: We need policies that will allow me to buy a
Speaker 3: house quickly in spite of my backpackings. So a couple
Speaker 3: of headlines really quickly to your point about affordability being
Speaker 3: a great message. And my one big caveat about this
Speaker 3: is that it is another perversion of how we ought
Speaker 3: to look at life and government that if the economy
Speaker 3: is good, we credit the president and his party, and
Speaker 3: if the economy.
Speaker 1: Is bad the opposite that's for the opposite president. What's that?
Speaker 1: That's dumba.
Speaker 3: It is dumba, and it's it's it's worse than dumba,
Speaker 3: because we don't believe in silent letters, because.
Speaker 1: That excuse me.
Speaker 3: First of all, the economy takes care of the economy.
Speaker 3: The government just screws it up with a handful of exceptions. Yes,
Speaker 3: I'm for reasonable regulations of the food industry and that
Speaker 3: sort of thing, reasonable ones. But once people get it
Speaker 3: into their head that if the economy is good, I
Speaker 3: will reward this party and if the economy is bad,
Speaker 3: I will reward the other party, they have made the
Speaker 3: assumption that the government ought to run the economy, which
Speaker 3: is an incredibly stupid and danger interest thing to do.
Speaker 3: You don't want that. Central planning sucks. In words of
Speaker 3: a single syllable anyway, a handful of headlines I've assembled
Speaker 3: over just a few days. The average cost of a
Speaker 3: family health insurance plan is now twenty seven thousand dollars
Speaker 3: a year. WHOA, maybe you don't you know pay it all,
Speaker 3: but somebody is.
Speaker 1: Maybe your employer does.
Speaker 2: Wow, we all know what our deductible is. If you're
Speaker 2: old enough, you can compare to what it used to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, indeed, I'm sorry, I've got so many tabs open.
Speaker 3: We'll get to it. Bear with me, stand with me.
Speaker 3: The average Oh, there it is. Run away insurance costs
Speaker 3: bring back talk of price caps. Increasingly insurers we're talking
Speaker 3: about homeowners and car insurance in both red and blue
Speaker 3: states are being told the cap prices as lawmakers come
Speaker 3: under pressure.
Speaker 1: Car insurance at least where I live is not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we get into Democrats keep shoveling money
Speaker 3: at Obamacare. But we can talk about that another time.
Speaker 3: Instead of shoveling money into government, how about this fabulous,
Speaker 3: fantastic cause Warrior Foundation Freedom Station. We've been supporting them

Speaker 2: nancy pelosi retirement, retiring and he, said, good she's evil and.
Speaker 1: Corrupt hell out of. Here here's your freedom loving quote.
Speaker 3: Today continuing our series From John Stuart mills On, liberty
Speaker 3: the best book you could possibly. Read yesterday's talked about
Speaker 3: how whether an opinion is right or, wrong to silence
Speaker 3: it is to rob the human race of the. Perspective,
Speaker 3: Anyway continuing that thought from the same chapter of the,
Speaker 3: Book The truth of an opinion is part of its.
Speaker 3: Utility if the opinion is compelled to, silence it may,
Speaker 3: be and often, is that the opinion is, true but
Speaker 3: it is not the whole. Truth very few facts are
Speaker 3: able to tell their whole story without the aid of
Speaker 3: connecting truth, Nuance and it is only by the collision
Speaker 3: of adverse opinions that the remainder of the truth has
Speaker 3: any chance of being. Supplied in other, words no single
Speaker 3: opinion contains the entire. Truth truth emerges fully through the
Speaker 3: conflict open conflict of ideas.
Speaker 2: Clearly, True but how do you factor that in with
Speaker 2: if you're, explaining you're, losing which seems to be a
Speaker 2: truism in.
Speaker 3: Politics, also uh, yeah which makes me very very, sad very.
Speaker 3: Sad saying good she was evil and corrupt is just
Speaker 3: one tiny bit short OF i hope she. Dies Maybe
