14
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: They do great stuff and make mistakes. Oh my god,

15
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 3: it's so complicated. How could you listen to this show,

16
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: the DoD stuff.

17
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 4: I am so fully on board. Holy cow, Now I

18
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 4: fully get it. We've got some great, great audio for

19
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 4: you of not Elon's fine, Elon's great. Elon's a bit

20
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 4: of a loose cannon.

21
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: But the geniuses who are trying to reform are floundering,

22
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: money squandering idiot of a federal government. Yeah, we do

23
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: have some really good clips for you, and it's kind

24
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: of a shame that the media hasn't done a better

25
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: job of talking to these people. I don't know, maybe

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: they wouldn't talk to anybody else but Fox, But I

27
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: was thinking last night I wished sixty Minutes had done

28
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: the same segment, because people that watch Fox tend to

29
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: already be on board, you know.

30
00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 5: I hear you.

31
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would like to see the sort of outreach

32
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: continue anyway, So it's the extent that anybody's interested in

33
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: hearing it. Tell me about the old lady who starved

34
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,559
Speaker 3: to death in Poughkeepsie.

35
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: Right, what right? Exactly? How y'all doing? You excited about

36
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: the weekend?

37
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: Huh?

38
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: My son's got a his first Boy Scout camping trip

39
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: overnight this weekend. He's very exciting. Oh well, I have

40
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: to buy some more stuff today, like plates and spoons

41
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: for the eating around the campfire and all that sort

42
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: of stuff. And he's he's just he can't wait.

43
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 3: So I'm guessing, because it's the Boy Scouts, it's not

44
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 3: going to be like paper plates and plastic stuff you

45
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 3: throw away.

46
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: It's going to be more responsible. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

47
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, he's really into the merit badges and wanting

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: to learn all this different stuff last night, and this

49
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: was something I encouraged. I thought it was interesting they

50
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: there's no merit badge for this, but there's a there's

51
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: a fair amount of paperwork to fill out, which I

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: would have just filled out like I've done for all

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: the school stuff. But the Boy Scouts recommended make this

54
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: a life lesson for your kid about filling out forms

55
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: and teach them to fill out forms, and also it

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: will help you in future forms that they can fill.

57
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: Them up themselves. And I thought, wow, wow, I've never

58
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: done that before. So we're seeing his bureaucracy badge right exactly,

59
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: which should be a merit badge.

60
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, your life is a pain in the ass merit

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: badge and filling out forms, which there is a certain

62
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: skill talent too, you get used to after doing it

63
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: your whole life.

64
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: You just have to deaden your soul for the twenty

65
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: minutes it takes to fill out the forms.

66
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: That's part of it. Like, for instance, why am I

67
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: writing my name and my birthday for the nineteenth time?

68
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: Why does that need to happen? It's already on six

69
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: other pages. But whatever, but all paperworkers like that. I'm

70
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: not beating up on the boy Scouts at all. It's

71
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: just I just always wonder that, you know, you go

72
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: to the doctor and okay, you had me check in

73
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: online and mark down all the medications I still take

74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: or don't take. Now, why am I doing it again

75
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: now that I'm here.

76
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: I'm just One of the things I found most compelling

77
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: and interesting about the Doge guy interviews in audio that

78
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: we're going to play for you is they made the

79
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: point that, Okay, you have Agency A who has all

80
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: this information. Agency B that's right across the street. Federal

81
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 3: government might even be an allied agency under the same

82
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: umbrella spends fifty million dollars trying to get the information

83
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: they have right next door, right exactly that, Yeah, these

84
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 3: two things actually tie together in that way. The one

85
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 3: billionaire dude that works for Doge, you know, had been

86
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: portrayed in the media's a bunch of nineteen year old losers,

87
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: a bunch of bros snapping towels and not business experts,

88
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 3: rocket scientists and billionaires who are sacrificing their cush lives

89
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: to take on this project. Anyway, one guy said we'd

90
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: like the government to be like the Apple Store experience. Well,

91
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 3: I don't think we'll ever get there, but that's that's

92
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: a fantastic goal.

93
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: Hell, let's make it.

94
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: Like the Target experience as a preliminary goal and go

95
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: for Apple store, you know down the road.

96
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know how many you ever buy stuff

97
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: the Apples store, but man, you walk in there and

98
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: they ask you what you want and the next thing

99
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, you're walking out with the bag and you

100
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: never saw a cash register or anything like that, and

101
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: it just it's amazing. And uh, it's all it's all

102
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: about streamlining things.

103
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: And I don't know why incorporating the technology of the

104
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: late eighties into the federal government, I mean, that would

105
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 3: be a huge step.

106
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: Forward, right, How do you explain that? Why Why does

107
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: the government end up running on ancient computer stuff like

108
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: floppy disks and whatnot if they're not just using paper

109
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: like it's because.

110
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: Fifties there's such a lack of, uh, you know, positive

111
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: reinforcement for innovation.

112
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: But they like spending money, So I'm just surprised that

113
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: they don't like jump on the opportunity to spend money

114
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: on the latest, coolest computer. Every time it comes out.

115
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get your point that just that doesn't benefit

116
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: the bureaucrats directly. They're much better off spending their money

117
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 3: on something that grows their turf.

118
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: For I wonder if every advancement would mean you'd need

119
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: one to one thousand fewer people, so you don't want

120
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: to do that. That's part of it too, I'm sure.

121
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: One of the other interesting themes among the Dotch geniuses

122
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: was the mind boggling redundancy that exists in the federal government.

123
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 3: You can have more people in the Department of turning

124
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 3: a screw to the right than there are screws to

125
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: turn to.

126
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: The right, but they just never get sacked.

127
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

128
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: Really interesting stuff, man. I hope they make a dent

129
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: or successful or able to change the culture. I'm I

130
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: don't want to see I'm pessimistic, but I think you're realistic.

131
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

132
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I hate to even say it out loud

133
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: because it just seems so can't do as an attitude.

134
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: But you know, the next administration comes along, quite possibly

135
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: a democratic administration, you know, we'll go full Roddell the

136
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: other direction.

137
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, which is the basis of my frustration with

138
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: for instance, the car tariffs that are about to start

139
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: that I think are gonna be seen as a huge misstep.

140
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: I hope I'm wrong, but I think it's a mistake.

141
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: It's gonna drive up prices. Trump's trying to browbeat the

142
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: carmakers into not raising their prices, and they're like, all

143
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: of our inputs are gonna increase in price, all of our.

144
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: Parts in twenty five percent.

145
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think this is going to be a

146
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: huge misstep, which decreases the chance that the vance or

147
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: descentis administration or whatever next in twenty twenty eight even exists.

148
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: I want that to exist very much.

149
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: I want another four years of momentum for the really,

150
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: really good stuff, and I think some of the not

151
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: so good stuff is going to well could derail it again.

152
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong.

153
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 3: I'm not rooting for you know, I hope the terifts

154
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: end up punishing consumers. Are they are so angry they

155
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: throw it out on his ear. No, that's the opposite

156
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: if I want of what I want, But Trump's.

157
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: A loose can. Breaking news King Charles, who's back out

158
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: of the hospital, will have full team coverage on that

159

00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong, Joe getting this Friday, March twenty eighth,

Speaker 1: year twenty twenty five. We're Armstrong and getting we approved

166
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: of this program. I hope they don't put me in

167
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: the Iron Maiden or something.

168
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: All right, here we go officially beginning according de FCC

169
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: rules and regulations, the show starts at mark.

170
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 7: The simple survey that was literally ten questions survey that

171
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 7: you could do with survey Monkey. Question about ten thousand dollars.

172
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 7: Was the government was being charged almost a billion dollars

173
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 7: for that for.

174
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: Just a survey.

175
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 7: A billion dollars for a simple online survey do you

176
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 7: like the National Park? And then there're phits me no

177
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 7: feedback loop for what would be done with that survey,

178
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 7: So the say we're just going to nothing.

179
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: As I can say, that's one of my favorite stories.

180
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: So they got to do a survey and then which

181
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the government needs to do to figure

182
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: out what people like and don't like and everything like

183
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: that with a variety of things. But if you're a

184
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: private company, you'd spend ten grand to get the survey done.

185
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: The government goes to the survey and somebody say, I'm sorry,

186
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: that'll be a billion dollars. And because it's the government

187
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: and somebody else's money, somebody apparently it's somewhere along lines

188
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: and sounds good to me, Where do I sign? And

189
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: then they don't do anything with it? He did the

190
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: information that goes into a black hole anyway, How often

191
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: does that happen? But what about the old lady who's

192
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: starving in Poughkeepsie thanks to the Elon must cuts.

193
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: The world's richest man slap the food out of the

194
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: old lady's mouth.

195
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: She'd be alive today, but he kidled her. And that's

196
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: why I set three cyber trucks on fire just on

197
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: the way to work, Oh boy, fighting back against Nazis.

198
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 3: Exactly want to make the government efficient four taxpayers, and

199
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: so is Elon and his cohort put it so many times. No,

200
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: we want people to get more from social Security, more smoothly,

201
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: more easily, not less.

202
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: So Katie's headlines on the way in a variety of

203
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: topics and a mail bag. We got more news of

204
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: the day. We'll play some of the Doge interview that

205
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: aired on Foxes Day. It was really damned interesting. Everybody

206
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: I know what watched it really loved it. So we

207
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: got all that hope you can figure around.

208
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 6: Maybe I'm stealing a headline again Katie right here, but

209
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 6: you know, the whole text chain scandal with Pete Hegseeth,

210
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 6: the Secretary of Defense, getting so much attention to the

211
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 6: fact that he's in the Philippines talking tough and China

212
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 6: is really upset about it is a much bigger story.

213
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: Long term for the planet and that's where he is

214
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: right now in this.

215
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it certainly makes you wonder about the narrative

216
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: that Trump is dividing up the world into fifetom's the

217
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: great Powers. Russia gets the Eastern Europe, China gets the

218
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: you know, South China, see whatever, and we get the

219
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: rest of it or whatever. No, he's talking crazy tough,

220
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 3: they're in their region. Wonder what it means. We'll dive

221
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 3: into it. Clips of the week coming up, have got mailbag,

222
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,599
Speaker 3: all sorts of interesting stuff and those clips from the

223
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: Doge guys just tremendous all of that to come, But

224
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 3: first let's figure out who's reporting what.

225
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: It's the lead story with Katie Green Katie, all right, guys,

226
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: starting with Reuters.

227
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 8: Ukraine's Zelenski says he wants America to be strong and

228
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 8: vows to counter Russian narratives.

229
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Trump and company just redrew the whole mineral rights

230
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: thing that they want Ukraine to pay, but they've added

231
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: in oil and other energy stuff and making more demands

232
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: on we get a cut of Ukraine's revenue going forward

233
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 3: in recompense for what was not alone. I can't stand

234
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: the policy.

235
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 8: Back to you from ABC Vice president Vance and wife

236
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 8: Usha head to Greenland amid us takeover controversy.

237
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: Oh the second lady. That's a powerful gesture, is it?

238
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 8: Why wherever CNBC US Health Department plans to slash ten

239
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 8: thousand jobs as RFK Junior up ends the agency.

240
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that. So I saw a couple of

241
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: interviews with RFK Junior yesterday. So they're going from eighty

242
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: some thousand employees to sixty eight or something like that,

243
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, over ten thousand jobs they are going to eliminate,

244
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: and he says they can do more with less. I

245
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: hope that's true. I don't doubt it. I mean, how

246
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: can you look at an organization of eighty thousand people

247
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: in the federal government that grew little by little over

248
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: time and think you couldn't eliminate a lot of jobs. Well,

249
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: and if somebody said to you, oh, no, we're all

250
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: eighty thousand of us are working at maximum efficiency given

251
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: the no overla, lack of incentives and disincentives and government work,

252
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: you'd laugh at them.

253
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 5: Sure.

254
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 8: From Breitbart, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says three hundred

255
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 8: foreign students have had visas revoked.

256
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to get to we got to play

257
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: some clips on Marco's He didn't like the idea of

258
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: college kids that in this country at our you know,

259
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: allowance bad mouth in the United States, even though when

260
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: we got this whole free speech thing you gotta deal with.

261
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that later. From Fox News.

262
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 8: Man arrested in molotov cocktail attack at Tesla's shop in

263
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 8: Las Vegas will also face federal charges.

264
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: Good get them because it's domestic terrorism. Do we know

265
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: anything about this guy?

266
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 3: Standard issue progressive nutjob weenie? Is he yet another There

267
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: was a trend of transgender people setting fire to to

268
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: Tesla's at one point, but.

269
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: He does not appear to be transgender. But of all

270
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: the things, he's just really good at it. Of all

271
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: the things you could be, even if you're going to

272
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: be an out there nut job on the edge of legality,

273
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: Doge is the thing that gets you fired up really well.

274
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: As Elon put it in the interviews that we're going

275
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: to feature, he doesn't blame the nut job so much

276
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: as those in positions of power who are disseminating this

277
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: incredibly fiery rhetoric about how Doge is slapping the food

278
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 3: out of ninety year old women's mouths when they're trying

279
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: to bring some sort of efficiency so that ninety year

280
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 3: old woman has an easier time getting what's coming to her.

281
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 8: From the Washington Post, North Korea claims to have made

282
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 8: suicide attack drones that use ai Great.

283
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: I saw that North Korea has pledged more troops to

284
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: the battle in Ukraine, quite alongside Russians. I wonder what

285
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: they've got.

286
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, China is developing their unmanned aerial vehicle drone programs,

287
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 3: specifically in reference to taking over Taiwan as fast as

288
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: they can. That is so obviously the wave of the

289
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 3: future of how people kill each other, which drives a

290
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: lot of technology, is that important?

291
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 8: Maybe Bill Gates says that within ten years, AI will

292
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 8: replace many doctors and teachers, and humans won't be needed

293
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 8: for most things human.

294
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: Now that's a statement, that's a phrase. There's a sentence.

295
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: Humans won't be needed for most things in ten years.

296
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: What sense is that a good thing? The timeline was

297
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: in ten years. Yep. So my kids are twenty five

298
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: and twenty three and humans aren't needed. Yeah. Again, like

299
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: Joe just said, don't you have to follow up sentence?

300
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: So I think perhaps we should look into.

301
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 5: How the hell we're going to structure society, right, just

302
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 5: like if I came on in a cherry bus and

303
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 5: said he technology exists that talk show hosts will soon

304
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 5: not be needed in other news, now, wait on.

305
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: Fing minutes, I'm one of those what was it humans

306
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: that you mentioned? Billy Boy won't be needed.

307
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 8: For most things from the This is an opinion piece

308
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 8: from the New York I'm useless.

309
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: For most things, but I'm good at some things. It's

310
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: those things I want to know more about. Anyway, back

311
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 3: to you, Katie, opinion piece from the New York Post.

312
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 8: I just like the headline free speech lessons from Jackass,

313
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 8: Jasmine Crockett and anti Israel foreign students.

314
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, she is a check ass. Oh that reminds me.

315
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 3: I want to talk about the Democrats news strategy for

316
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 3: regaining power, which is to swear a lot, and the

317
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: problems with that.

318
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: It's very funny, They're unintentionally hilarious.

319
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 8: And finally, the babylon Bee political neutrality of PBS questioned

320
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 8: after new footage of Elmo kying a cyber truck is released.

321
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: Air day. I could say this air day, but I

322
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: was listening to NPR on the drive in today and

323
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: they had a lawyer on there to give tips to

324
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: college kids on how to handle it if ice approaches you. Right, Yeah,

325
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: that's where most of America is on that topic. Are

326
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: you getting hers?

327
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: Is out there giving advice to pro Hamas folks about

328
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: having a burner phone and deleting any picture there synparathetic

329
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 3: word terrorist.

330
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: That doesn't surprise me. That's their job, that's their organization, NPR.

331
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: That shouldn't be their job as the supposed news for

332
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: all Americans.

333
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 3: They are Marxist. I want to tear down the America.

334
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: Got clips of the week coming up in a bunch

335
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: of other stuff.

336
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.

337
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 6: So on Friday's always driving to work listening to music

338
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 6: instead of news and now went hardcore Counting Crows today,

339
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 6: and I watched a.

340
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: Long interview with Adam Burritz, the guy that writes the

341
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: songs and lead singer from Counting Crows. Some things I

342
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: was going to talk about later in that that I

343
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: thought were really interesting. I didn't realize how mentally ill

344
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: he is, like really mentally ill, like disassociates from reality

345
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: on a regular basis, incapable of like functioning. Wow.

346
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just watched the first half of that interview.

347
00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 3: I didn't get there yet. Huh, that'd be wrong. Explained

348
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: some of the lyrics in the songs.

349
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if you dissociate from reality and you're kind

350
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: of floating around in some other dream world, yeah, you

351
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: might come up with some wacky lyrics.

352
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: Well yeah, which is why I have a high tolerance

353
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: for nuttiness in my creative artists.

354
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: I just it often goes along.

355
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 3: So if they have wacky doodle political views, I just

356
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: I don't worry about it much.

357
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: I just need them to not preach to me. I

358
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: just want a good beat that gets my fingers snapping.

359
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: That's all I want. Do you do love to dance? Hey,

360
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of great stuff to get to,

361
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: so let's get to it first. A fond look back

362
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: at the week that was. It's cow clips of the week.

363
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 7: This is how utterly ridiculous is just inexplicable to me.

364
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: It's a huge disaster. Whips of the week. What shape

365
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 1: is the US Pentagon Building? Isn't it just a square?

366
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 8: An NFHS Network livestream shows Northfield Girls head coach Jim

367
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 8: Zulo yanking the ponytail of one of his players, Honey Luplice.

368
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: A forty six year old Gerhard Koenik was hiking the

369
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: polytrail on O Wahoo with his wife when he struck

370
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: her in the head with the ronk and tried to

371
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: push her off the ledge. Don't goes, Crazia.

372
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 5: Don't goes Crazia's wig and he's whistling is way into

373
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 5: your heart.

374
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: I would like to be called Joseph, Joseph of Villinois.

375
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: Can I go with Jack the Great? Just call me

376
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: Jack the Great? And all I want to see happen

377
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: on my birthday is for Eli to be taken down. Yes,

378
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: and so she needs to tread very carefully. And if

379
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: you can't take the credits of it, get the hell

380
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: out of politics. Yeah, we're not provocation.

381
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 7: This is a friendliness and provocation a.

382
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: Group chat for the history books. It appears a journalist

383
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: was accidentally added to a text change, and so of

384
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: course I didn't see this loser in the group. Nobody

385
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: was texting war plans. No, that's a lie. He was

386
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: texting war plans. There was no classified material that was shared.

387
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: I take responsibility. I built the I built the group embarrassing. Yes,

388
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: if this was the case of a military officer, they

389
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: would be fired.

390
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 6: We're having a lot of problems with the courts because

391
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 6: the courts want to pretend that president.

392
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: What happens if one of the migrants you're working with

393
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: doesn't pay, took their held hostage until they pay up,

394
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: They eat, they bathe, they use the bathroom in front

395
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: of each other. Social Security is the biggest Ponzi scheme

396
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: of all time? Yes or no? Do you think it's

397
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 1: a ponzi scheme? That's a promise to pay. As I've

398
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved.

399
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: Do you think the white people should pay reparations? I

400
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: have never said that, sir, Yes you did. I think

401
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: there's just a reference to the idea that we all

402
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: owe much to the people who before us. That's a

403
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: bizarre way to frame what you tweeted, no kidding.

404
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 3: I actually went back to the original Yuri Berliner piece

405
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: about when he left NPR and was reminded of its

406
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: eloquence and power. Jim Jordan during that hearing yesterday, we

407
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 3: didn't play the whole clip, but I loved it. He

408
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: was talking about the eighty seven to nothing Democrats to

409
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 3: Republicans that the DC editorial officer or whatever it was,

410
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 3: and I love the way he illustrated it. He said,

411
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 3: it's not forty four to forty three, it's not fifty

412
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 3: to thirty.

413
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: It's eighty seven nothing. And you're not biased. I'm not

414
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: aware of any political minds. Deny, deny. It's a well

415
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: known road in Washington, DC. So Katie had this headline.

416
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: They arrested a dude in Vegas who had been sett

417
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: in Tesla's on fire Paul Yan Kim Korean Dude thirty six,

418
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: booked into the Clark County Detention Center, Korean national on

419
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: fifteen counts of Korean heritage. I don't know that he's national,

420
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: including felony charges of arson, destroying property and another blah

421
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, and domestic terrorism, which probably should

422
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: be floating around on your social media to young idiots.

423
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: That isn't like your normal getting in trouble sort of thing.

424
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: This is like you go to prison for a really

425
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: long time trouble. So maybe think this over right, new

426
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: sheriff in town.

427
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: And given the reality of the last several years, where

428
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: you could say torture, target or loose as many stores

429
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: as you wanted, as long as you're waiving a BLM batner,

430
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: the law would not touch you.

431
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: Or perhaps you're a college student.

432
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 3: You could occupy a building, you could beat down a janitor,

433
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 3: you could do whatever you wanted and nothing would ever

434
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: happen to you. And now you're getting charged with terrorism.

435
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 3: For terrorism, it's got to be shocking to them.

436
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: The high end of the charge would be twenty years,

437
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: and no nobody ever gets the high end. But even

438
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: if you got hat that, it's a long time to

439
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: be in prison. Well, and that's a hell of a

440
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 1: hammer to hold over somebody.

441
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 3: Probably a poor metaphor if there's a plea park in

442
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 3: a foot authorities said. The footage shows Kim shooting a

443
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: gun at security cameras, so he had thought this through,

444
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: and multiple teslas and setting three vehicles on fire using

445
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: molotov cocktails. Also spray painting resist across the facility, resist

446
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 3: cost cutting, antfort to.

447
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: Make the government more efficient. Yes, Kim had very loose

448
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 1: ties to social media groups such as the Communist Party USA,

449
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: Revolutionary Communist International, Hidden Palestine and Palestine Action, etc. So

450
00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: he's a communist, yeah, okay.

451
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 3: Deo Marxists everywhere they you know, it's it's the old strategy.

452
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: Take every tension point in the US and radicalize the

453
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 3: people who are annoyed, whether it's you know, transgender or

454
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 3: up with big governments or anything, or up with electric

455
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 3: cars and five minutes later, down with these electric cars.

456
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: Right, there's something weird going on with this. I just

457
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: can't quite put my finger on it. Like what you

458
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: get super upset about the United States prosecuting a war

459
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: you don't believe in. I can see getting pretty angry

460
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, I can't imagine. Or the abortion issue

461
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: if you believe it the way it's portrayed. I suppose

462
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: you could feel, you know, women, that your rights are

463
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: being taken away. This one, I just can't feel how

464
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: you could ever get.

465
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 3: Murderously angry over trying to cut costs in giant bureaucracies. Well,

466
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 3: that's this is the danger of doing what we do

467
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 3: the way we do it, being too hip for the

468
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: room in a way in that when your Chucks Schumer

469
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 3: or your a'soc Bernie, you're Bernie's Sanders exactly when they're

470
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: pitching the idea that the point of DOGE is to

471
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 3: take away old handicap people's last dollar. What you need

472
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: to remind yourself, because we spend all day reading and

473
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 3: researching and that sort of thing, but which you have

474
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 3: to remember is that people believe that there is a

475
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: significant number of people who hears that crazy ass rhetoric

476
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 3: and says, oh, that must be true, because they're telling

477
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: me it's true, and they actually believe it. And if

478
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 3: that they're being mobilized for the good of the government itself,

479
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 3: being the most important lobbyist of the government.

480
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: Well, if you're Elon Musk, if that old handicapped person

481
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: has a disabled kid, and better to take the money

482
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: out of their mouth. It feels even sweeter.

483
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, wow, a starving old person and a

484
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: handicapped kid. Let me add him, says Elon Musk. According

485
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: to the rhetoric of you know AOC, which is a

486
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 3: perfect setup for something we're gonna do. Twenty minutes from

487
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 3: now an hour two, we'll play some of the interview

488
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 3: with the Doge team that aired on Special Report on

489
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: Fox last night, talking to Elon and the people that

490
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: are working with him and why they're doing it and

491
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 3: what they've found and everything like that. And it's just

492
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 3: it's not that scary, like I said, I wish is

493
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 3: what aired on sixty minutes for the rest of the

494
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: country who isn't already on board.

495
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny.

496
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 3: It just occurred to me the irony of what is

497
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 3: so energizing and exciting about that interview, those interviews. It's

498
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 3: a bunch of people, Brett Paart talks to. What's incredibly

499
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 3: energizing is how calm, even handed and reasonable it is.

500
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 3: It's not a bunch of half cock tech bros running

501
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 3: around and you know, their shorts scort and scort guns

502
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 3: at each other and smoking pot No, it's some of

503
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 3: the best, smartest, most serious people in America, seriously dead,

504
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 3: seriously trying to figure out how to make the federal

505
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: government more efficient and effective for its citizens.

506
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. Imagine.

507
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: And now you can quibble about methods and some of

508
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 3: the details of what they're doing and how they're doing it,

509
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: and that's absolutely reasonable. We should quibble about everything in

510
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 3: this country. That's why our system of government.

511
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: Is what it is.

512
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 3: But can you imagine given that And I swear that

513
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 3: is true, and you will believe it if you can

514
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: stay tuned for next hour or perhaps grab it via

515
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 3: podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand later. But if you

516
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 3: accept it, it is true that these very very smart,

517
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 3: very very serious people are trying to make the federal

518
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 3: government more efficient, affordable, and defective for the citizens.

519
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: Picture the level of hypocrisy it takes to be agets that.

520
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 3: To be so in bed with the federal bureaucracy, because

521
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 3: that's how you get your power and influence. That you

522
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 3: are fighting against an effort to make the government more

523
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: efficient and responsive, that's evil.

524
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: That is selfishness on a level.

525
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 3: That's I mean, it's it's awesome it's it's awe inspiring,

526
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 3: how incredibly dishonest and deceitful these people.

527
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: Are kind of a side note to how they caught

528
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: this guy, which worries me this sort of thing, because

529
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: this is going to be used against you and I

530
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: at some point. So how they caught this guy vehicle

531
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: navigation records because so many cars have some sort of

532
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: GPS thing in there that feeds back to somewhere in

533
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: his store. And then also license plate readers, which I

534
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: don't remember ever voting for. So everywhere you park a car,

535
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: somebody of some organization by somebody for some reason drives

536
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: through and reads all the license plates in the parking lot,

537
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: keep track of where everybody is all the time. When

538
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: did we have a national discussion about this, I don't

539
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: remember anybody running on. This just kind of happened. So

540
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: between that and they're keeping track of where you're going

541
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: through the vehicle records that I don't know Toyota or

542
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: GM turns over or feeds the government or I don't

543
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: know how that works either. But anyway, between those two things,

544
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: they could finally got subpoena. Yeah, pretty easily. We're all

545
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: tracked constantly with information that the government has easy access to, don't.

546
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't understand why this isn't more of a thing.

547
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: And if this were a story about China, we'd be saying,

548
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 3: oh my god, I imagine right, I'm glad they caught

549
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 3: this scumpany too. Yeah, we need to take a serious

550
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: look at this as a people. And you know, what's

551
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: really as a conservative, really really frustrating angering to me

552
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 3: is that you tolerate this incredibly high level of lawlessness,

553
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 3: especially in your blue states. Then you say valing systems

554
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 3: are necessary because of you know, all the lawlessness right

555
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 3: how ntually forced the damn law, including like no shoplifting.

556
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: But then you won't need this. It wasn't that very

557
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: many years ago, though. I could have driven around all

558
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: weekend to work, back shopping, mall wherever. Nobody would have

559
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: had any data on that at all. Zero, Not a

560
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: human being would have known where I was. Now, it's

561
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: all keep track. I was having you followed, but technically

562
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: I see your point. We got mail bag on the

563
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: way stay here. I didn't see this. Hanson was just

564
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: telling me about ITCHI ro Suzuki coming out to throw

565
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: out a first pitch in full uniform as an old man,

566
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: older man now yesterday, take some mound full wind up,

567
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: full pitch eighty five mile hour fastball at the catcher,

568
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: how as opposed to the old jog out there and

569
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: your khakis and lob it in crowded wild That's so

570
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: awesome each rowe bringing it. What a great hitter.

571
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: Here's your freedom loving code of the day with great

572
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 3: Eric Hoffer, sent along by alert listener. I threw it away,

573
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 3: Sorry about that, but thank you for sending it, Eric Affer.

574
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 3: The aspiration toward freedom is the most essentially human of

575
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 3: all human manifestations.

576
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: Oh that's rough if you think about that, and how

577
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: how often that's been denied throughout human history. How many

578
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: people time, how many people have lived with any bit

579
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: of freedom throughout human history? Very few?

580
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 3: What the Chinese COVID drone say, Michael, silence your soul's

581
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 3: desire for freedom.

Speaker 3: and his daughter and that sort of thing. He was

608
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,719
Speaker 3: making reference to the home country of the picture at

00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 3: the humans is coming to an end, and we should

620
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,200

Speaker 3: of a logoed car. It's wrapped from the Belching Beaver Brewery.

623
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: Which I assume is in Ourgon. The beavers have already begun.

624
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: All right, That's what I'm gonna say at your funeral.

625
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: I assume i'll outlive you, as your ten days older

626
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: than me. They put you in the ground. I'll look

627
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: down at your casket and I'll say, anyway, owing to

628
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: why anyway? Ohing two?

629
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 3: That would if there is life after death, I will

630
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 3: crack up in well heaven or more.

631
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 1: Likely anyway, Yes, Michael, I got to like drop something

632
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: in the casket and then say that not a flowers.

633
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, exactly. I just want a day in there.

634
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: And then anyway, let's.

635
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 3: See how much time do we have, Michael, practically none too.

636
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 3: Let's see David writes to herd Jack, asking why the

637
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: government uses old computer systems. Can't speak for the government

638
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 3: in particular, in particularly, but I can relay this tale mcogg.

639
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 3: In one of the big railroads, we use dozens of

640
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 3: systems that all refer to a system with a copyright

641
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 3: date of nineteen eighty.

642
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: They tried to upgrade it all went completely sideways.

643
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 3: I've got to summarize here, full twenty four hours shutdown

644
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 3: of everything took place so the switchover could occur. Just

645
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 3: terrible was so we switched back to the old system

646
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 3: before the end of the twenty four hours. If we

647
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 3: had those kinds of problems and all we do is

648
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 3: move trains with thousands of employees, I can't imagine how

649
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 3: impossible the FED systems are.

650
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: I'll bet yeah, well, I'll bet Elon's got a pretty

651
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: good idea of how that's working right now, and they're

652
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: gonna try to make it better. Speaking of Elon, we're

653
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: gonna hear from Elon and the Doge Boys from an

654
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,959
Speaker 1: interview that they did on Fox. It's really interesting. That'll

655
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: be an hour two. I hope you can stick around

656
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,560
