<v Speaker 1>of dog Wow, that's right, all aboard the doad train.

<v Speaker 1>Yea hardly eight party.

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 3>There's good, there's bad. Imagine that saying that about it administration.

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 3>They do great stuff and make mistakes. Oh my god,

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.839
<v Speaker 3>it's so complicated. How could you listen to this show,

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 3>the DoD stuff.

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 4>I am so fully on board. Holy cow, Now I

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 4>fully get it. We've got some great, great audio for

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 4>you of not Elon's fine, Elon's great. Elon's a bit

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 4>of a loose cannon.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>But the geniuses who are trying to reform are floundering,

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>money squandering idiot of a federal government. Yeah, we do

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>have some really good clips for you, and it's kind

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.320
<v Speaker 1>of a shame that the media hasn't done a better

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>job of talking to these people. I don't know, maybe

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't talk to anybody else but Fox, But I

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 1>was thinking last night I wished sixty Minutes had done

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the same segment, because people that watch Fox tend to

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>already be on board, you know.

0:01:59.120 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 5>I hear you.

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I would like to see the sort of outreach

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 3>continue anyway, So it's the extent that anybody's interested in

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 3>hearing it. Tell me about the old lady who starved

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:10.559
<v Speaker 3>to death in Poughkeepsie.

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Right, what right? Exactly? How y'all doing? You excited about

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the weekend?

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 3>Huh?

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>My son's got a his first Boy Scout camping trip

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.239
<v Speaker 1>overnight this weekend. He's very exciting. Oh well, I have

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>to buy some more stuff today, like plates and spoons

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>for the eating around the campfire and all that sort

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. And he's he's just he can't wait.

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 3>So I'm guessing, because it's the Boy Scouts, it's not

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 3>going to be like paper plates and plastic stuff you

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:39.640
<v Speaker 3>throw away.

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be more responsible. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's really into the merit badges and wanting

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.239
<v Speaker 1>to learn all this different stuff last night, and this

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.359
<v Speaker 1>was something I encouraged. I thought it was interesting they

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.679
<v Speaker 1>there's no merit badge for this, but there's a there's

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.959
<v Speaker 1>a fair amount of paperwork to fill out, which I

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>would have just filled out like I've done for all

0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the school stuff. But the Boy Scouts recommended make this

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>a life lesson for your kid about filling out forms

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.959
<v Speaker 1>and teach them to fill out forms, and also it

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>will help you in future forms that they can fill.

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Them up themselves. And I thought, wow, wow, I've never

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 3>done that before. So we're seeing his bureaucracy badge right exactly,

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 3>which should be a merit badge.

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, your life is a pain in the ass merit

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>badge and filling out forms, which there is a certain

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>skill talent too, you get used to after doing it

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:26.959
<v Speaker 1>your whole life.

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 3>You just have to deaden your soul for the twenty

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 3>minutes it takes to fill out the forms.

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>That's part of it. Like, for instance, why am I

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>writing my name and my birthday for the nineteenth time?

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Why does that need to happen? It's already on six

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>other pages. But whatever, but all paperworkers like that. I'm

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>not beating up on the boy Scouts at all. It's

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>just I just always wonder that, you know, you go

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>to the doctor and okay, you had me check in

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>online and mark down all the medications I still take

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>or don't take. Now, why am I doing it again

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>now that I'm here.

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm just One of the things I found most compelling

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 3>and interesting about the Doge guy interviews in audio that

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 3>we're going to play for you is they made the

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 3>point that, Okay, you have Agency A who has all

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 3>this information. Agency B that's right across the street. Federal

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.279
<v Speaker 3>government might even be an allied agency under the same

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.719
<v Speaker 3>umbrella spends fifty million dollars trying to get the information

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 3>they have right next door, right exactly that, Yeah, these

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 3>two things actually tie together in that way. The one

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.479
<v Speaker 3>billionaire dude that works for Doge, you know, had been

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 3>portrayed in the media's a bunch of nineteen year old losers,

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of bros snapping towels and not business experts,

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:43.279
<v Speaker 3>rocket scientists and billionaires who are sacrificing their cush lives

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 3>to take on this project. Anyway, one guy said we'd

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 3>like the government to be like the Apple Store experience. Well,

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't think we'll ever get there, but that's that's

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 3>a fantastic goal.

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Hell, let's make it.

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Like the Target experience as a preliminary goal and go

0:04:58.080 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 3>for Apple store, you know down the road.

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I don't know how many you ever buy stuff

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the Apples store, but man, you walk in there and

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 1>they ask you what you want and the next thing

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're walking out with the bag and you

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 1>never saw a cash register or anything like that, and

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>it just it's amazing. And uh, it's all it's all

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>about streamlining things.

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know why incorporating the technology of the

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 3>late eighties into the federal government, I mean, that would

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 3>be a huge step.

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Forward, right, How do you explain that? Why Why does

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the government end up running on ancient computer stuff like

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>floppy disks and whatnot if they're not just using paper

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>like it's because.

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Fifties there's such a lack of, uh, you know, positive

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 3>reinforcement for innovation.

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 1>But they like spending money, So I'm just surprised that

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>they don't like jump on the opportunity to spend money

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>on the latest, coolest computer. Every time it comes out.

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I get your point that just that doesn't benefit

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 3>the bureaucrats directly. They're much better off spending their money

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.040
<v Speaker 3>on something that grows their turf.

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 1>For I wonder if every advancement would mean you'd need

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>one to one thousand fewer people, so you don't want

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to do that. That's part of it too, I'm sure.

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 3>One of the other interesting themes among the Dotch geniuses

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 3>was the mind boggling redundancy that exists in the federal government.

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.799
<v Speaker 3>You can have more people in the Department of turning

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 3>a screw to the right than there are screws to

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 3>turn to.

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>The right, but they just never get sacked.

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Really interesting stuff, man. I hope they make a dent

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 1>or successful or able to change the culture. I'm I

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 1>don't want to see I'm pessimistic, but I think you're realistic.

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I hate to even say it out loud

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 1>because it just seems so can't do as an attitude.

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 1>But you know, the next administration comes along, quite possibly

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>a democratic administration, you know, we'll go full Roddell the

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>other direction.

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, which is the basis of my frustration with

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 3>for instance, the car tariffs that are about to start

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 3>that I think are gonna be seen as a huge misstep.

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 3>I hope I'm wrong, but I think it's a mistake.

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna drive up prices. Trump's trying to browbeat the

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 3>carmakers into not raising their prices, and they're like, all

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 3>of our inputs are gonna increase in price, all of our.

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Parts in twenty five percent.

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I think this is going to be a

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 3>huge misstep, which decreases the chance that the vance or

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 3>descentis administration or whatever next in twenty twenty eight even exists.

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I want that to exist very much.

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 3>I want another four years of momentum for the really,

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 3>really good stuff, and I think some of the not

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 3>so good stuff is going to well could derail it again.

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I hope I'm wrong.

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm not rooting for you know, I hope the terifts

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 3>end up punishing consumers. Are they are so angry they

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 3>throw it out on his ear. No, that's the opposite

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 3>if I want of what I want, But Trump's.

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>A loose can. Breaking news King Charles, who's back out

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>of the hospital, will have full team coverage on that

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>royal medical mishap, thank god.

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 3>Later in the show would the world have done without

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 3>Prince Charles leading us king figuratively that this king got.

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh right, so the King of be promoted. Okay, YadA, YadA, YadA,

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the King of England. Yeah, let's start the show officially.

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jack Armstrong, Joe getting this Friday, March twenty eighth,

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 1>year twenty twenty five. We're Armstrong and getting we approved

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.079
<v Speaker 1>of this program. I hope they don't put me in

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the Iron Maiden or something.

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 3>All right, here we go officially beginning according de FCC

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 3>rules and regulations, the show starts at mark.

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 7>The simple survey that was literally ten questions survey that

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 7>you could do with survey Monkey. Question about ten thousand dollars.

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 7>Was the government was being charged almost a billion dollars

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 7>for that for.

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Just a survey.

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 7>A billion dollars for a simple online survey do you

0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.319
<v Speaker 7>like the National Park? And then there're phits me no

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 7>feedback loop for what would be done with that survey,

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 7>So the say we're just going to nothing.

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 1>As I can say, that's one of my favorite stories.

0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>So they got to do a survey and then which

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe the government needs to do to figure

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>out what people like and don't like and everything like

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>that with a variety of things. But if you're a

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 1>private company, you'd spend ten grand to get the survey done.

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>The government goes to the survey and somebody say, I'm sorry,

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>that'll be a billion dollars. And because it's the government

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and somebody else's money, somebody apparently it's somewhere along lines

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and sounds good to me, Where do I sign? And

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>then they don't do anything with it? He did the

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 1>information that goes into a black hole anyway, How often

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>does that happen? But what about the old lady who's

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 1>starving in Poughkeepsie thanks to the Elon must cuts.

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 3>The world's richest man slap the food out of the

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 3>old lady's mouth.

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 1>She'd be alive today, but he kidled her. And that's

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.079
<v Speaker 1>why I set three cyber trucks on fire just on

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>the way to work, Oh boy, fighting back against Nazis.

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.559
<v Speaker 3>Exactly want to make the government efficient four taxpayers, and

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 3>so is Elon and his cohort put it so many times. No,

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:03.320
<v Speaker 3>we want people to get more from social Security, more smoothly,

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 3>more easily, not less.

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 1>So Katie's headlines on the way in a variety of

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 1>topics and a mail bag. We got more news of

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the day. We'll play some of the Doge interview that

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.200
<v Speaker 1>aired on Foxes Day. It was really damned interesting. Everybody

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I know what watched it really loved it. So we

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>got all that hope you can figure around.

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.079
<v Speaker 6>Maybe I'm stealing a headline again Katie right here, but

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 6>you know, the whole text chain scandal with Pete Hegseeth,

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 6>the Secretary of Defense, getting so much attention to the

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 6>fact that he's in the Philippines talking tough and China

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.319
<v Speaker 6>is really upset about it is a much bigger story.

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Long term for the planet and that's where he is

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 1>right now in this.

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it certainly makes you wonder about the narrative

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 3>that Trump is dividing up the world into fifetom's the

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 3>great Powers. Russia gets the Eastern Europe, China gets the

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, South China, see whatever, and we get the

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 3>rest of it or whatever. No, he's talking crazy tough,

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.680
<v Speaker 3>they're in their region. Wonder what it means. We'll dive

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 3>into it. Clips of the week coming up, have got mailbag,

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.599
<v Speaker 3>all sorts of interesting stuff and those clips from the

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 3>Doge guys just tremendous all of that to come, But

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:14.599
<v Speaker 3>first let's figure out who's reporting what.

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>It's the lead story with Katie Green Katie, all right, guys,

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>starting with Reuters.

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 8>Ukraine's Zelenski says he wants America to be strong and

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 8>vows to counter Russian narratives.

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 3>Meanwhile, Trump and company just redrew the whole mineral rights

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 3>thing that they want Ukraine to pay, but they've added

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 3>in oil and other energy stuff and making more demands

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 3>on we get a cut of Ukraine's revenue going forward

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.960
<v Speaker 3>in recompense for what was not alone. I can't stand

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 3>the policy.

0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 8>Back to you from ABC Vice president Vance and wife

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 8>Usha head to Greenland amid us takeover controversy.

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh the second lady. That's a powerful gesture, is it?

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 8>Why wherever CNBC US Health Department plans to slash ten

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 8>thousand jobs as RFK Junior up ends the agency.

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I saw that. So I saw a couple of

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.839
<v Speaker 1>interviews with RFK Junior yesterday. So they're going from eighty

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>some thousand employees to sixty eight or something like that,

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, over ten thousand jobs they are going to eliminate,

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.839
<v Speaker 1>and he says they can do more with less. I

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.560
<v Speaker 1>hope that's true. I don't doubt it. I mean, how

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>can you look at an organization of eighty thousand people

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>in the federal government that grew little by little over

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:33.680
<v Speaker 1>time and think you couldn't eliminate a lot of jobs. Well,

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and if somebody said to you, oh, no, we're all

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 1>eighty thousand of us are working at maximum efficiency given

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.199
<v Speaker 1>the no overla, lack of incentives and disincentives and government work,

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you'd laugh at them.

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 5>Sure.

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 8>From Breitbart, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says three hundred

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 8>foreign students have had visas revoked.

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we got to get to we got to play

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 1>some clips on Marco's He didn't like the idea of

0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 1>college kids that in this country at our you know,

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 1>allowance bad mouth in the United States, even though when

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 1>we got this whole free speech thing you gotta deal with.

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.680
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about that later. From Fox News.

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 8>Man arrested in molotov cocktail attack at Tesla's shop in

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 8>Las Vegas will also face federal charges.

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:26.079
<v Speaker 1>Good get them because it's domestic terrorism. Do we know

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 1>anything about this guy?

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Standard issue progressive nutjob weenie? Is he yet another There

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 3>was a trend of transgender people setting fire to to

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Tesla's at one point, but.

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 1>He does not appear to be transgender. But of all

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.719
<v Speaker 1>the things, he's just really good at it. Of all

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the things you could be, even if you're going to

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 1>be an out there nut job on the edge of legality,

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Doge is the thing that gets you fired up really well.

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 3>As Elon put it in the interviews that we're going

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 3>to feature, he doesn't blame the nut job so much

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 3>as those in positions of power who are disseminating this

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.720
<v Speaker 3>incredibly fiery rhetoric about how Doge is slapping the food

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.640
<v Speaker 3>out of ninety year old women's mouths when they're trying

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:16.080
<v Speaker 3>to bring some sort of efficiency so that ninety year

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 3>old woman has an easier time getting what's coming to her.

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.840
<v Speaker 8>From the Washington Post, North Korea claims to have made

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 8>suicide attack drones that use ai Great.

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I saw that North Korea has pledged more troops to

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the battle in Ukraine, quite alongside Russians. I wonder what

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>they've got.

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Meanwhile, China is developing their unmanned aerial vehicle drone programs,

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 3>specifically in reference to taking over Taiwan as fast as

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 3>they can. That is so obviously the wave of the

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 3>future of how people kill each other, which drives a

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 3>lot of technology, is that important?

0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 8>Maybe Bill Gates says that within ten years, AI will

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.880
<v Speaker 8>replace many doctors and teachers, and humans won't be needed

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 8>for most things human.

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Now that's a statement, that's a phrase. There's a sentence.

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Humans won't be needed for most things in ten years.

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 1>What sense is that a good thing? The timeline was

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>in ten years. Yep. So my kids are twenty five

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 1>and twenty three and humans aren't needed. Yeah. Again, like

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Joe just said, don't you have to follow up sentence?

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>So I think perhaps we should look into.

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 5>How the hell we're going to structure society, right, just

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 5>like if I came on in a cherry bus and

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 5>said he technology exists that talk show hosts will soon

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 5>not be needed in other news, now, wait on.

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Fing minutes, I'm one of those what was it humans

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>that you mentioned? Billy Boy won't be needed.

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 8>For most things from the This is an opinion piece

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 8>from the New York I'm useless.

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 3>For most things, but I'm good at some things. It's

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 3>those things I want to know more about. Anyway, back

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 3>to you, Katie, opinion piece from the New York Post.

0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 8>I just like the headline free speech lessons from Jackass,

0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 8>Jasmine Crockett and anti Israel foreign students.

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she is a check ass. Oh that reminds me.

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.920
<v Speaker 3>I want to talk about the Democrats news strategy for

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 3>regaining power, which is to swear a lot, and the

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 3>problems with that.

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>It's very funny, They're unintentionally hilarious.

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:35.480
<v Speaker 8>And finally, the babylon Bee political neutrality of PBS questioned

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 8>after new footage of Elmo kying a cyber truck is released.

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Air day. I could say this air day, but I

0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 1>was listening to NPR on the drive in today and

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>they had a lawyer on there to give tips to

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 1>college kids on how to handle it if ice approaches you. Right, Yeah,

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 1>that's where most of America is on that topic. Are

0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 1>you getting hers?

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Is out there giving advice to pro Hamas folks about

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 3>having a burner phone and deleting any picture there synparathetic

0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:06.159
<v Speaker 3>word terrorist.

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't surprise me. That's their job, that's their organization, NPR.

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 1>That shouldn't be their job as the supposed news for

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:14.440
<v Speaker 1>all Americans.

0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:19.160
<v Speaker 3>They are Marxist. I want to tear down the America.

0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 3>Got clips of the week coming up in a bunch

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 3>of other stuff.

0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 6>So on Friday's always driving to work listening to music

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.639
<v Speaker 6>instead of news and now went hardcore Counting Crows today,

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 6>and I watched a.

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.119
<v Speaker 1>Long interview with Adam Burritz, the guy that writes the

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 1>songs and lead singer from Counting Crows. Some things I

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>was going to talk about later in that that I

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 1>thought were really interesting. I didn't realize how mentally ill

0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:47.920
<v Speaker 1>he is, like really mentally ill, like disassociates from reality

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:52.800
<v Speaker 1>on a regular basis, incapable of like functioning. Wow.

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:54.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just watched the first half of that interview.

0:17:54.960 --> 0:18:00.440
<v Speaker 3>I didn't get there yet. Huh, that'd be wrong. Explained

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 3>some of the lyrics in the songs.

0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you dissociate from reality and you're kind

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.560
<v Speaker 1>of floating around in some other dream world, yeah, you

0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:09.119
<v Speaker 1>might come up with some wacky lyrics.

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.720
<v Speaker 3>Well yeah, which is why I have a high tolerance

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 3>for nuttiness in my creative artists.

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I just it often goes along.

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 3>So if they have wacky doodle political views, I just

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:20.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't worry about it much.

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I just need them to not preach to me. I

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.320
<v Speaker 1>just want a good beat that gets my fingers snapping.

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 1>That's all I want. Do you do love to dance? Hey,

0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:29.600
<v Speaker 1>We've got a lot of great stuff to get to,

0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 1>so let's get to it first. A fond look back

0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 1>at the week that was. It's cow clips of the week.

0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.159
<v Speaker 7>This is how utterly ridiculous is just inexplicable to me.

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:49.119
<v Speaker 1>It's a huge disaster. Whips of the week. What shape

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.959
<v Speaker 1>is the US Pentagon Building? Isn't it just a square?

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 8>An NFHS Network livestream shows Northfield Girls head coach Jim

0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 8>Zulo yanking the ponytail of one of his players, Honey Luplice.

0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.399
<v Speaker 1>A forty six year old Gerhard Koenik was hiking the

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 1>polytrail on O Wahoo with his wife when he struck

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:08.399
<v Speaker 1>her in the head with the ronk and tried to

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:12.160
<v Speaker 1>push her off the ledge. Don't goes, Crazia.

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 5>Don't goes Crazia's wig and he's whistling is way into

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:18.800
<v Speaker 5>your heart.

0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I would like to be called Joseph, Joseph of Villinois.

0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Can I go with Jack the Great? Just call me

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Jack the Great? And all I want to see happen

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 1>on my birthday is for Eli to be taken down. Yes,

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:38.439
<v Speaker 1>and so she needs to tread very carefully. And if

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.560
<v Speaker 1>you can't take the credits of it, get the hell

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:45.160
<v Speaker 1>out of politics. Yeah, we're not provocation.

0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:49.280
<v Speaker 7>This is a friendliness and provocation a.

0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Group chat for the history books. It appears a journalist

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:57.000
<v Speaker 1>was accidentally added to a text change, and so of

0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.840
<v Speaker 1>course I didn't see this loser in the group. Nobody

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 1>was texting war plans. No, that's a lie. He was

0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:10.560
<v Speaker 1>texting war plans. There was no classified material that was shared.

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I take responsibility. I built the I built the group embarrassing. Yes,

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.880
<v Speaker 1>if this was the case of a military officer, they

0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:21.120
<v Speaker 1>would be fired.

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:24.080
<v Speaker 6>We're having a lot of problems with the courts because

0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 6>the courts want to pretend that president.

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.440
<v Speaker 1>What happens if one of the migrants you're working with

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.439
<v Speaker 1>doesn't pay, took their held hostage until they pay up,

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.880
<v Speaker 1>They eat, they bathe, they use the bathroom in front

0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 1>of each other. Social Security is the biggest Ponzi scheme

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:42.320
<v Speaker 1>of all time? Yes or no? Do you think it's

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:46.239
<v Speaker 1>a ponzi scheme? That's a promise to pay. As I've

0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 1>said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved.

0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you think the white people should pay reparations? I

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:56.360
<v Speaker 1>have never said that, sir, Yes you did. I think

0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.160
<v Speaker 1>there's just a reference to the idea that we all

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.639
<v Speaker 1>owe much to the people who before us. That's a

0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:08.320
<v Speaker 1>bizarre way to frame what you tweeted, no kidding.

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.639
<v Speaker 3>I actually went back to the original Yuri Berliner piece

0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 3>about when he left NPR and was reminded of its

0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.840
<v Speaker 3>eloquence and power. Jim Jordan during that hearing yesterday, we

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.119
<v Speaker 3>didn't play the whole clip, but I loved it. He

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 3>was talking about the eighty seven to nothing Democrats to

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:29.240
<v Speaker 3>Republicans that the DC editorial officer or whatever it was,

0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:31.880
<v Speaker 3>and I love the way he illustrated it. He said,

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 3>it's not forty four to forty three, it's not fifty

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 3>to thirty.

0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 1>It's eighty seven nothing. And you're not biased. I'm not

0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 1>aware of any political minds. Deny, deny. It's a well

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 1>known road in Washington, DC. So Katie had this headline.

0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.000
<v Speaker 1>They arrested a dude in Vegas who had been sett

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:59.359
<v Speaker 1>in Tesla's on fire Paul Yan Kim Korean Dude thirty six,

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:04.080
<v Speaker 1>booked into the Clark County Detention Center, Korean national on

0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 1>fifteen counts of Korean heritage. I don't know that he's national,

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.400
<v Speaker 1>including felony charges of arson, destroying property and another blah

0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:17.600
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah blah, and domestic terrorism, which probably should

0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:22.760
<v Speaker 1>be floating around on your social media to young idiots.

0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.919
<v Speaker 1>That isn't like your normal getting in trouble sort of thing.

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:27.640
<v Speaker 1>This is like you go to prison for a really

0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:31.320
<v Speaker 1>long time trouble. So maybe think this over right, new

0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:32.120
<v Speaker 1>sheriff in town.

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 3>And given the reality of the last several years, where

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 3>you could say torture, target or loose as many stores

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 3>as you wanted, as long as you're waiving a BLM batner,

0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:44.359
<v Speaker 3>the law would not touch you.

0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Or perhaps you're a college student.

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:48.840
<v Speaker 3>You could occupy a building, you could beat down a janitor,

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:51.720
<v Speaker 3>you could do whatever you wanted and nothing would ever

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 3>happen to you. And now you're getting charged with terrorism.

0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:57.439
<v Speaker 3>For terrorism, it's got to be shocking to them.

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.120
<v Speaker 1>The high end of the charge would be twenty years,

0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 1>and no nobody ever gets the high end. But even

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:04.720
<v Speaker 1>if you got hat that, it's a long time to

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:07.440
<v Speaker 1>be in prison. Well, and that's a hell of a

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:08.719
<v Speaker 1>hammer to hold over somebody.

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:12.720
<v Speaker 3>Probably a poor metaphor if there's a plea park in

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:17.119
<v Speaker 3>a foot authorities said. The footage shows Kim shooting a

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 3>gun at security cameras, so he had thought this through,

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 3>and multiple teslas and setting three vehicles on fire using

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 3>molotov cocktails. Also spray painting resist across the facility, resist

0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:33.439
<v Speaker 3>cost cutting, antfort to.

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Make the government more efficient. Yes, Kim had very loose

0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:45.719
<v Speaker 1>ties to social media groups such as the Communist Party USA,

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Revolutionary Communist International, Hidden Palestine and Palestine Action, etc. So

0:23:55.400 --> 0:24:01.879
<v Speaker 1>he's a communist, yeah, okay.

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Deo Marxists everywhere they you know, it's it's the old strategy.

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:12.240
<v Speaker 3>Take every tension point in the US and radicalize the

0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:17.480
<v Speaker 3>people who are annoyed, whether it's you know, transgender or

0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:22.199
<v Speaker 3>up with big governments or anything, or up with electric

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 3>cars and five minutes later, down with these electric cars.

0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Right, there's something weird going on with this. I just

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:29.879
<v Speaker 1>can't quite put my finger on it. Like what you

0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:33.400
<v Speaker 1>get super upset about the United States prosecuting a war

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.639
<v Speaker 1>you don't believe in. I can see getting pretty angry

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:41.840
<v Speaker 1>about that. Yeah, I can't imagine. Or the abortion issue

0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 1>if you believe it the way it's portrayed. I suppose

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you could feel, you know, women, that your rights are

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:50.520
<v Speaker 1>being taken away. This one, I just can't feel how

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you could ever get.

0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Murderously angry over trying to cut costs in giant bureaucracies. Well,

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:02.840
<v Speaker 3>that's this is the danger of doing what we do

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:06.359
<v Speaker 3>the way we do it, being too hip for the

0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 3>room in a way in that when your Chucks Schumer

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:19.240
<v Speaker 3>or your a'soc Bernie, you're Bernie's Sanders exactly when they're

0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 3>pitching the idea that the point of DOGE is to

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 3>take away old handicap people's last dollar. What you need

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:31.359
<v Speaker 3>to remind yourself, because we spend all day reading and

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:33.680
<v Speaker 3>researching and that sort of thing, but which you have

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 3>to remember is that people believe that there is a

0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 3>significant number of people who hears that crazy ass rhetoric

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:43.680
<v Speaker 3>and says, oh, that must be true, because they're telling

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 3>me it's true, and they actually believe it. And if

0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:52.399
<v Speaker 3>that they're being mobilized for the good of the government itself,

0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:55.159
<v Speaker 3>being the most important lobbyist of the government.

0:25:55.240 --> 0:25:58.439
<v Speaker 1>Well, if you're Elon Musk, if that old handicapped person

0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 1>has a disabled kid, and better to take the money

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>out of their mouth. It feels even sweeter.

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, wow, a starving old person and a

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:13.240
<v Speaker 3>handicapped kid. Let me add him, says Elon Musk. According

0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:16.119
<v Speaker 3>to the rhetoric of you know AOC, which is a

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:18.439
<v Speaker 3>perfect setup for something we're gonna do. Twenty minutes from

0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:20.679
<v Speaker 3>now an hour two, we'll play some of the interview

0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:23.200
<v Speaker 3>with the Doge team that aired on Special Report on

0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 3>Fox last night, talking to Elon and the people that

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 3>are working with him and why they're doing it and

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 3>what they've found and everything like that. And it's just

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 3>it's not that scary, like I said, I wish is

0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:35.639
<v Speaker 3>what aired on sixty minutes for the rest of the

0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 3>country who isn't already on board.

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:40.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's funny.

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:42.760
<v Speaker 3>It just occurred to me the irony of what is

0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:48.240
<v Speaker 3>so energizing and exciting about that interview, those interviews. It's

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of people, Brett Paart talks to. What's incredibly

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:55.440
<v Speaker 3>energizing is how calm, even handed and reasonable it is.

0:26:56.800 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 3>It's not a bunch of half cock tech bros running

0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:03.400
<v Speaker 3>around and you know, their shorts scort and scort guns

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:05.879
<v Speaker 3>at each other and smoking pot No, it's some of

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:11.120
<v Speaker 3>the best, smartest, most serious people in America, seriously dead,

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:15.240
<v Speaker 3>seriously trying to figure out how to make the federal

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 3>government more efficient and effective for its citizens.

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 1>That's what they're doing. Imagine.

0:27:23.240 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 3>And now you can quibble about methods and some of

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 3>the details of what they're doing and how they're doing it,

0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:31.840
<v Speaker 3>and that's absolutely reasonable. We should quibble about everything in

0:27:31.920 --> 0:27:33.920
<v Speaker 3>this country. That's why our system of government.

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Is what it is.

0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 3>But can you imagine given that And I swear that

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:41.199
<v Speaker 3>is true, and you will believe it if you can

0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:43.280
<v Speaker 3>stay tuned for next hour or perhaps grab it via

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 3>podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand later. But if you

0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:49.440
<v Speaker 3>accept it, it is true that these very very smart,

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:52.200
<v Speaker 3>very very serious people are trying to make the federal

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:57.359
<v Speaker 3>government more efficient, affordable, and defective for the citizens.

0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Picture the level of hypocrisy it takes to be agets that.

0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:10.480
<v Speaker 3>To be so in bed with the federal bureaucracy, because

0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:13.200
<v Speaker 3>that's how you get your power and influence. That you

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:16.400
<v Speaker 3>are fighting against an effort to make the government more

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 3>efficient and responsive, that's evil.

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>That is selfishness on a level.

0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 3>That's I mean, it's it's awesome it's it's awe inspiring,

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:29.680
<v Speaker 3>how incredibly dishonest and deceitful these people.

0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Are kind of a side note to how they caught

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:36.520
<v Speaker 1>this guy, which worries me this sort of thing, because

0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be used against you and I

0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 1>at some point. So how they caught this guy vehicle

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 1>navigation records because so many cars have some sort of

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:49.560
<v Speaker 1>GPS thing in there that feeds back to somewhere in

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 1>his store. And then also license plate readers, which I

0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:56.680
<v Speaker 1>don't remember ever voting for. So everywhere you park a car,

0:28:57.240 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody of some organization by somebody for some reason drives

0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:05.320
<v Speaker 1>through and reads all the license plates in the parking lot,

0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>keep track of where everybody is all the time. When

0:29:07.760 --> 0:29:09.800
<v Speaker 1>did we have a national discussion about this, I don't

0:29:09.800 --> 0:29:13.280
<v Speaker 1>remember anybody running on. This just kind of happened. So

0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:15.560
<v Speaker 1>between that and they're keeping track of where you're going

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:18.760
<v Speaker 1>through the vehicle records that I don't know Toyota or

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 1>GM turns over or feeds the government or I don't

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 1>know how that works either. But anyway, between those two things,

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:27.000
<v Speaker 1>they could finally got subpoena. Yeah, pretty easily. We're all

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:31.760
<v Speaker 1>tracked constantly with information that the government has easy access to, don't.

0:29:31.840 --> 0:29:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why this isn't more of a thing.

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 3>And if this were a story about China, we'd be saying,

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, I imagine right, I'm glad they caught

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:43.240
<v Speaker 3>this scumpany too. Yeah, we need to take a serious

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:46.320
<v Speaker 3>look at this as a people. And you know, what's

0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 3>really as a conservative, really really frustrating angering to me

0:29:52.360 --> 0:29:56.880
<v Speaker 3>is that you tolerate this incredibly high level of lawlessness,

0:29:57.080 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 3>especially in your blue states. Then you say valing systems

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 3>are necessary because of you know, all the lawlessness right

0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 3>how ntually forced the damn law, including like no shoplifting.

0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 1>But then you won't need this. It wasn't that very

0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:12.880
<v Speaker 1>many years ago, though. I could have driven around all

0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 1>weekend to work, back shopping, mall wherever. Nobody would have

0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 1>had any data on that at all. Zero, Not a

0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:24.960
<v Speaker 1>human being would have known where I was. Now, it's

0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 1>all keep track. I was having you followed, but technically

0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I see your point. We got mail bag on the

0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:36.960
<v Speaker 1>way stay here. I didn't see this. Hanson was just

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:39.440
<v Speaker 1>telling me about ITCHI ro Suzuki coming out to throw

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:42.640
<v Speaker 1>out a first pitch in full uniform as an old man,

0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:46.520
<v Speaker 1>older man now yesterday, take some mound full wind up,

0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 1>full pitch eighty five mile hour fastball at the catcher,

0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:53.000
<v Speaker 1>how as opposed to the old jog out there and

0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:56.960
<v Speaker 1>your khakis and lob it in crowded wild That's so

0:30:57.120 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>awesome each rowe bringing it. What a great hitter.

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Here's your freedom loving code of the day with great

0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Eric Hoffer, sent along by alert listener. I threw it away,

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Sorry about that, but thank you for sending it, Eric Affer.

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:13.040
<v Speaker 3>The aspiration toward freedom is the most essentially human of

0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:14.880
<v Speaker 3>all human manifestations.

0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's rough if you think about that, and how

0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:20.920
<v Speaker 1>how often that's been denied throughout human history. How many

0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 1>people time, how many people have lived with any bit

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:25.800
<v Speaker 1>of freedom throughout human history? Very few?

0:31:26.240 --> 0:31:31.360
<v Speaker 3>What the Chinese COVID drone say, Michael, silence your soul's

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 3>desire for freedom.

0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's correct, Yes, yes, Oh that hurts. Oh hey,

0:31:35.960 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 1>good advice.

0:31:36.560 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, we'll do mailbag, drop us a note mail bag

0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 3>at Armstrong and getty dot com. Best radio ever, writes

<v Speaker 3>Pat Shameless Plug Department. Today's One More Thing podcast that

0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:53.600
<v Speaker 3>was yesterday. This is the most hilarious gut busting segment

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:55.360
<v Speaker 3>I've heard in a decade. Okay, give me a second

0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:57.240
<v Speaker 3>to try to remember what it was about. I haven't

0:31:57.280 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 3>got the slightest idea.

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Now come on between Michael's trying to curse.

0:32:03.560 --> 0:32:07.240

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:16.680
<v Speaker 3>for polenta. I've never had so many laughs packed into

0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:19.080
<v Speaker 3>twelve minute podcasts. You guys are the best year two

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:23.120
<v Speaker 3>kind thanks path anyway, Yeah, so we do one more

0:32:23.840 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 3>segment after the radio show is done.

<v Speaker 1>It's the One More.

0:32:27.640 --> 0:32:32.240

<v Speaker 3>all of promoting I'm gonna do h Steve from Beautiful

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Beautiful Lake oswego Oregon, right, the full context of the

0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:45.400
<v Speaker 3>Vin Scully anyway zero and two audio, which we.

0:32:45.440 --> 0:32:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Love so much. Anyway, oh and two.

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Vin was talking about socialism in Venezuela and Hugo Chavez

0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:54.320
<v Speaker 3>and his daughter and that sort of thing. He was

0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:56.719
<v Speaker 3>making reference to the home country of the picture at

0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:59.400
<v Speaker 3>the time, who had gotten out of Venezuela to come

0:32:59.480 --> 0:33:01.960
<v Speaker 3>to the US. A play for the Dodgers great great,

0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:04.080
<v Speaker 3>So that's how he got started on that theme. And

0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:08.280
<v Speaker 3>who's the richest person in Venezuela? The daughter of Hugo Shabez.

0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:10.720
<v Speaker 1>And who do you think is the richest person in

0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Venezuela the daughter of Hugo choms? Hello, but what's the count? Anyway?

0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:21.520
<v Speaker 1>All in two? That's right, Sorry about economic structures, but

0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:25.360
<v Speaker 1>what's the freaking count? Love and sky? I know that

0:33:25.560 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 1>is so good? Oh? Anyway, all in two?

0:33:30.160 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 3>I Joe Getty have frequently said that the time of

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:34.920
<v Speaker 3>the humans is coming to an end, and we should

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 3>welcome a planet of the beavers. The beavers have begun,

0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:41.560
<v Speaker 3>writes John, and he shows. He sends us a picture

0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:47.640
<v Speaker 3>of a logoed car. It's wrapped from the Belching Beaver Brewery.

0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Which I assume is in Ourgon. The beavers have already begun.

0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, That's what I'm gonna say at your funeral.

0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I assume i'll outlive you, as your ten days older

0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:01.040
<v Speaker 1>than me. They put you in the ground. I'll look

0:34:01.120 --> 0:34:03.840
<v Speaker 1>down at your casket and I'll say, anyway, owing to

0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:05.880
<v Speaker 1>why anyway? Ohing two?

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:11.279
<v Speaker 3>That would if there is life after death, I will

0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:15.160
<v Speaker 3>crack up in well heaven or more.

0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Likely anyway, Yes, Michael, I got to like drop something

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.640
<v Speaker 1>in the casket and then say that not a flowers.

0:34:20.680 --> 0:34:24.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, exactly. I just want a day in there.

0:34:24.280 --> 0:34:27.319
<v Speaker 1>And then anyway, let's.

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:30.279
<v Speaker 3>See how much time do we have, Michael, practically none too.

0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Let's see David writes to herd Jack, asking why the

0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:38.040
<v Speaker 3>government uses old computer systems. Can't speak for the government

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 3>in particular, in particularly, but I can relay this tale mcogg.

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:44.880
<v Speaker 3>In one of the big railroads, we use dozens of

0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:47.480
<v Speaker 3>systems that all refer to a system with a copyright

0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:48.640
<v Speaker 3>date of nineteen eighty.

0:34:49.160 --> 0:34:52.400
<v Speaker 1>They tried to upgrade it all went completely sideways.

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 3>I've got to summarize here, full twenty four hours shutdown

0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:59.880
<v Speaker 3>of everything took place so the switchover could occur. Just

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:01.919
<v Speaker 3>terrible was so we switched back to the old system

0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:03.800
<v Speaker 3>before the end of the twenty four hours. If we

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 3>had those kinds of problems and all we do is

0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:08.480
<v Speaker 3>move trains with thousands of employees, I can't imagine how

0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:10.120
<v Speaker 3>impossible the FED systems are.

0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll bet yeah, well, I'll bet Elon's got a pretty

0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:15.600
<v Speaker 1>good idea of how that's working right now, and they're

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:17.839
<v Speaker 1>gonna try to make it better. Speaking of Elon, we're

0:35:17.840 --> 0:35:21.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna hear from Elon and the Doge Boys from an

0:35:21.360 --> 0:35:23.959
<v Speaker 1>interview that they did on Fox. It's really interesting. That'll

0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:25.279
<v Speaker 1>be an hour two. I hope you can stick around

0:35:25.320 --> 0:35:29.560
<v Speaker 1>or get it through the podcast Armstrong and Getty
