1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty Armstrong and Katy.

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: And now he Armstrong and Eddy.

4
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 3: Vice President JD Vance visited Disneyland over the weekend with

5
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: his family. Well that's a good start, but I for

6
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 3: one think he deserves even more punishment.

7
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 4: So that's a knock on Disneylands twist at the end there.

8
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 5: So what was the Gavin Newsome JD Vance Disneyland story?

9
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: Oh?

10
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, the internet figured out that JD Vance had brought

11
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: his wife and kids to Disneyland in the beautiful California,

12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: and Gaffy tweeted, hope you enjoy your family time, jdvans

13
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: the families you're tearing apart certainly won't and JD blast

14
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: it back, had a great time.

15
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 4: Thanks.

16
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: Oh that's one of my favorite verbal combat jiu jitsu moves.

17
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: Somebody blast you then waits for your response. You just

18
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: look at.

19
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 4: Him and go back to what you were doing.

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 5: Speaking of the governor of California, who was in South

21
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 5: Carolina talking to voters last week for some.

22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 4: Reason, I think I got over here.

23
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 5: That's like twenty eight hundred miles away from his state,

24
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 5: continuing to try to build his national cred and cross

25
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 5: into different voting groups. He was on the Sean Ryan

26
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 5: podcast over the weekend. I don't really know Sean Ryan's act.

27
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 5: I know a couple of very trumpy people, though, who

28
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 5: talk about Sean Ryan all the time. He's a big

29
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 5: deal for that crowd. Maybe you'd know who he is.

30
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: So Gavin was on there, and let's listen at that.

31
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 6: What separates our game from the game played elsewhere is innovation, entrepreneurialism.

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 6: More patents, more engineers, more researchers, more nobel laureates in

33
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 6: my state than any damned state, more fortune five hundred

34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 6: companies in my state than any other state. Look that up,

35
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 6: because I know people are rolling their eyes and say, no,

36
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 6: it's Texas.

37
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 4: You're wrong. It's true. I locked it up.

38
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 6: Well.

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: Number one, it's the most populous state, and number two,

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: silicon valleys in California. And you've done your best to

41
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: drive all businesses, including tech out. But the fact that

42
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: you haven't yet succeeded, isn't exactly praiseworthy.

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 5: You jump right. You inherited all those things you just said,

44
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 5: and it is diminished since you've been in power.

45
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you beat the hell out of it more. And we're,

46
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: by the way, a donor state.

47
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 6: We provided eighty three point one billion dollars more than

48
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 6: we received from the federal government. Texas took seventy one

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 6: point one billion dollars. I'm not saying that to bash Texas,

50
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 6: but you know what, pretty proud of my goddamn state.

51
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: Nine out of ten of the donor.

52
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 6: States are Trump states, and I don't mean that pejority Trump.

53
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 6: Seven of the ten are Republican states, but nine out

54
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 6: of the ten dependent states welfare states, are Trump states.

55
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 6: The donor states disproportionately in the Blue states. Seventy one

56
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 6: percent of the country's GDP comes from Blue counties, these

57
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 6: same crack up counties with all these crazy liberals that

58
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 6: can't get out of their own goddamn way, and the

59
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 6: world's come to an end. Wow, it's seventy one percent

60
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 6: of the economy the goddamn country.

61
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: Man three times, and that's what the gd bumps. That's

62
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: because they're enormously populous, you hack liar. Yeah yeah, New

63
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: York City has a bigger GDP than you know, Decatur, Illinois.

64
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, yeah, that one's pretty easily explained in that,

65
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 5: you know, cities are blue, and cities have a bigger

66
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 5: GDP than rural areas.

67
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: That doesn't really, I don't know, explain anything.

68
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 5: Now the whole blue states, Red states donor states versus

69
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 5: take more. I don't know the stats on that. Nothing

70
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 5: is more misleading than statistics. If somebody could explain what's

71
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 5: going on there, I would like to hear it. Well,

72
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 5: it has to do with the size of the state

73
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: GDP is that a thing? And how rural it is,

74
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 5: how poor it is are there Indian reservations. It's just

75
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 5: there are so many things that factor in. Plus, you know,

76
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 5: everybody gets interstate highway money. Wyoming's got no humans and

77
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 5: they get lots and lots of interstate highway money, for instance.

78
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 5: So that was a pretty good a little rift there

79
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 5: to distract from the fact that good luck running on

80
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 5: California's record when all people do is show videos of

81
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 5: homeless encampments all over the state and the fact that

82
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 5: California is losing human beings for the first time in

83
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 5: its history.

84
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: Well, now, don't you can get past those two things.

85
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: Don't let the vagrants and drug addicts have all of

86
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: the spot, like Jack, give some time to the people

87
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: sweeping products off the shelves at stores and the products

88
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: all being locked up, and you have to beg somebody

89
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: for a can of shaving cream because there's so much

90
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: crime everything's locked up.

91
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 4: Let's put that in the videos too.

92
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you live somewhere where they don't have the

93
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 5: legos locked up at target, it probably seems crazy to you.

94
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 5: But like, everything's locked up at my target, you have

95
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 5: to get some poy with a key to come let

96
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 5: you get your toothpaste because we allow so much crime here.

97
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 4: It's nuts. And maybe just as a kicker.

98
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: A shot of soiled underpants in the aisle where the

99
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: vagrant drug addicts have swapped out their dirty clothes for

100
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: new ones they've stolen because there's no repercussion or repercussion

101
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: for shoplifting. A tax expert front of the Armstrong and

102
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: Getty Show also weighs in, I absolutely hate the donor

103
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: state crap and quotes if you have military, bass, retired military,

104
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: more social security recipients, you will quote receive more federal funding.

105
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: But it has nothing to do with governors except to

106
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: the extent that they're driving old people and veterans to

107
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 1: other states.

108
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 5: I see. Okay, interesting, so as what perfect? This is perfect?

109
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 5: So there was a article came out yesterday and I

110
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 5: got it, but I got enough of it.

111
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 4: In my head.

112
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 5: The most expensive state to retire in in the entire

113
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 5: country is number one out of fifty is California. California

114
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 5: is more expensive than anywhere else to retire to. So

115
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 5: very few people who are going to be receiving Social

116
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 5: Security are going to be retiring in California, right, So

117
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 5: that it's that, your friend.

118
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 4: There's stats.

119
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 5: The least expensive state and the entire United States of

120
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 5: America retired to is Kansas. So they're going to receive

121
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 5: They're not going to receive there as much money. I mean, well, retirements,

122
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 5: retirees are gonna go there, and you're gonna receive money

123
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 5: as a red state, you know, sir, There you go.

124
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 5: So that does explain that. That's pretty interesting.

125
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: And keep in mind what percentage of federal budget, I mean,

126
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: the overall budget is entitlements.

127
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: It's most of it. So yeah, that's that's where the

128
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: weight is.

129
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm glad somebody explained that. I knew there was

130
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 5: going to be something behind that that made sense and

131
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 5: the gd bombs. Remember we all caught on there was

132
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 5: a memo that went around to Democrats. What it was

133
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 5: it four six months ago to cussmore, to sound like

134
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: you really care.

135
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: Trump and that stuff. It makes you sound more earthy

136
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: and authentic, I guess. And one more Gavvy clip. I

137
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: know he's the President of the States. Forgive me, I didn't. Yeah, yeah,

138
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: he calls me new scum?

139
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 4: You know.

140
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 6: Come on, how to explain that to my kid? Now

141
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 6: he's got I have my kids friends call him my

142
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 6: kid's new scum.

143
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 4: All right, I'm sorry about your kids.

144
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're lovely little children and they have no

145
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: role in politics. So we will never address anything to

146
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: do with your family except your wife who's on the take.

147
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: As we discussed yesterday, there are a number of examples,

148
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: some like up to a half a million dollars of

149
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: if you want Gavy and the state to do what

150
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: you want them to do, you we donate a huge

151
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: amount to his wife's quote unquote charity. So a bunch

152
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: of examples we outlined an hour four of yesterday's show.

153
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: Grab it via podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.

154
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 5: So a couple of my favorite right leaning leaning pundits

155
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 5: really like Gavin's chances forgetting the nomination and think he's

156
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 5: a force. And I can't tell if it's like they

157
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 5: know more than I do, or if it's because they

158
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 5: don't live in California.

159
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 4: And that often happens.

160
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 5: If you're looking at it from the East coast, you

161
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 5: don't quite have the same view as if you live

162
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: in the state of California.

163
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: You think you got the outlines of it, but you don't, right.

164
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: And when I remember the coverage of Arnold Horrible Arnold

165
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger's governorship, I would read stories in the major media,

166
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: the Bigfoot Press, Washington Post, New York Times, whatever, describing

167
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: how it's a post partisan world and Arnold's an example

168
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: of and how he's working with the Democrats.

169
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 4: And I'm like, that's the last stiffing thing.

170
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 5: That's happening, right, And I think, you know, as I

171
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 5: already said, when the full assault on Gavin from other

172
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 5: Democrats when he's trying to get the nomination of just

173
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 5: homelessness and crime and people leave in the state and

174
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 5: all that sort of stuff, I don't see how he

175
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 5: overcomes that.

176
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: Wow, you know you're right, because I was picturing Republicans

177
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: running those devastating ads. Just run on your record, gavey

178
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: good luck. But the Gretchen Whitmer's and Josh Shapiro's and

179
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: Andy Basher's of the world.

180
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: No, they're not going to roll over and let Gavin

181
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 4: be the nominee. No, no way.

182
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 5: Although I saw that that Basher person, I saw him

183
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 5: on Meet the Press the other day and he was

184
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 5: highly unimpressive.

185
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the whole You're you're a good enough triple

186
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: A player, but man, the majors is a whole nother world.

187
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 5: Well what just as all political athlete, as some people say,

188
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 5: how do you what do you think Gavin is?

189
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: Oh?

190
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: I as I've made the point before and would be

191
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: delighted to again. He is a player who has only

192
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: had in squad scrimmages. He has never played another team

193
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: because he is in a one party state. He was

194
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: anointed as the Great White Hope as a young man

195
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: by his rich, rich family in the pelosis that are

196
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: all related. Willie Brown took him under his wing. He's

197
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: never been in an actual game and his and so

198
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: just as a political athlete, he's not nearly as good

199
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: as he seems to be.

200
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 4: It's Rick Perry syndrome.

201
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: Rick Perry terrific, multi term governor of Texas, very popular,

202
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, not perfect, but good. Got on the national stage.

203
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: He did not have nearly the chops and neither's is Gavy.

204
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: You heard it in those clips. He just he has

205
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: too many trail off sentences where he kind of well anyway,

206
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: so at Sea's full of witches, you say, if.

207
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 4: You need to hire a witch, look to Etsy Jack.

208
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 5: Okay, I have annoyed you what this means, among other things?

209
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 5: All the waist there. I know he's the President of

210
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 5: the States. Forgive me, I didn't.

211
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he calls me new scum. You know, Come on,

212
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 6: how to explain that to my kid? Now he's got

213
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 6: I have my kid's friends call him my kid's new scum.

214
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: Well, everybody gets the nickname in school. I couldn't resist

215
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: one more kick at Gavin before we get to the

216
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: witches of Etsy.

217
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 5: Well, you called Trump hitler? How do you what is it?

218
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 5: How do you think his kids like being their dad

219
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 5: being called hitler?

220
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: Every kid in America named Enis is called Penis by

221
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: his schoolmates. It just it happens, Gavy, It's it's unfortunate.

222
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: I would agree, but your kids like us will be fine.

223
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call us anus. I think you'd call him Anis. No,

224
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: you call him yes, no, neither. It was an example.

225
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: I would never denigrate a youth like that.

226
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 4: Excellent point. I've never known an Enis. That's true too,

227
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 4: so uh.

228
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: Alicia Finley, who's one of my favorite writers. She does

229
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: opinions for the Wall Street Journal, among other things. She

230
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: was talking about gavyk Newsom the other day during that

231
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: big raid at the pot farm in southern California, they

232
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: rounded up three hundred allegedly illegal immigrants.

233
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah, and Gavy.

234
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: Got up and tried to, you know, mount the high

235
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: horse and make a speech and become the hero of

236
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: the left, as he does every half an excuse he gets.

237
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: And he made this statement instead of supporting the businesses

238
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: and workers that drive our economy and our way of life,

239
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: Steven Miller's tactics of chaos, fear, and terror within our

240
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: communities at every turn. Blah blah blah. Now you may

241
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: think Miller's a little excessive, I actually do. But Alicia writes,

242
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: is he really claiming that pot farms are integral to

243
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: California's economy in way of life. Mister Trump has phoned

244
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: the deportation pass for farmers, hotels, other businesses, But why

245
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: should pot farms get one? They profit from addicting vulnerable people,

246
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: all while doing grave damage to public health and society.

247
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: And the one part of this that I found really

248
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: interesting is an updated statistic. Uh, pot has been legalized

249
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: in California like more or less.

250
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 4: Completely now for quite a while.

251
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: Only thirty eight percent of cannabis consumed in California comes

252
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: from licensed growers in retail.

253
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: Wow.

254
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 4: Thirty eight percent.

255
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 5: Wow, So people are still willing to break the law

256
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 5: and risk everything that comes with that because it's so

257
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 5: expensive to buy the legal stuff.

258
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the taxes and regulations. But the other half

259
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: of it is law enforcement's been told Look, pot is

260
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: not a priority. If you smell pot, if you see

261
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: it being grown. What am I as a beat copper?

262
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: You know, even a mid level guy supposed to dig

263
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: into the state paperwork to figure out if that's illegal

264
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: or illegal grow?

265
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, half of it's legal, but they've exceeded their limit.

266
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 5: Or if somebody's smoking pot on the street corner, which

267
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 5: I see in my town. How are you going to

268
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 5: determine where they got it? Make them show her receipt

269
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 5: or something.

270
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 4: Well, right, it's just.

271
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: It's been deemphasized so much as law enforcement. You know,

272
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: priority that there are horrific illegal growths, but it's just

273
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: it's just.

274
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 5: Not the wow, not the priority use of it. So

275
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 5: you're not going to get arrested. It's almost impossible to

276
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 5: get arrested. So why would you buy the more expensive

277
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 5: and there was already infrastructure so well in place for

278
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 5: legal pod?

279
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I mean the difference between buying pot

280
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: pre legalization and post legalization in California is just where

281
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: you go. I mean, in terms of risk, there hardly

282
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: was any anyway. So under this, which I found very amusing,

283
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: this is my second act. This is my new hobby.

284
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: I just need to get together with like a brilliant marketer.

285
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: I'll handle the bs they handled, like the computer and

286
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: logistics stuff witches on Etsy.

287
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna.

288
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: Start with some of these accounts and Jack, feel free

289
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: to be you. Jan Pereira spent all spring looking for

290
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: a retail job, but had no luck, so the college

291
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: sophomore and queens did what many around her do when

292
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: a situation doesn't go their way. She paid a witch

293
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: on Etsy to cast a spell. The job market is terrible.

294
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm not getting any responses, so why not help myself out?

295
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 4: She asks?

296
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: And if it doesn't work out, then, oh well, it

297
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: was only fifteen dollars. The day the Etsy witch cast

298
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: the spell, she got a job offer from Whole Foods

299
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: and she's now a store shopper.

300
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 4: Was it magic?

301
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: Here's a guy, a creative director in Los Angeles. Uh.

302
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: He paid an Etsy witch eight dollars and forty eight

303
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: cents to cast a spell on the New York Knicks

304
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: ahead of Game five of the Eastern Conference Finals in May.

305
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: This is the dumbest one I've This is dumb. He

306
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: found a witch offering discount codes. He was only half

307
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: kidding about the transaction, but was amazed when the Knicks won.

308
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: Maybe there's something more cosmic out there, he said.

309
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 4: But he's a witch.

310
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: Wow, you want a second spell for a little over

311
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: twenty one dollars from the et Sea witch for Game six?

312
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 4: But the Knicks lost.

313
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't rule out the possibility that Pacers fans use

314
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: their devil magic, he haf joked.

315
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: I like the fact that the witches have coupons.

316
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Discount Witch is the name of my new Jampand

317
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: what's interesting about this is ETSI's rules are absolutely forbid

318
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: metaphysical services, including spell casting and items that had advertise

319
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: and metaphors like that.

320
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 4: That should be You allow that.

321
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 5: If people want to be separated from their money because

322
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 5: they're idiots, let them.

323
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: But they don't enforce it at all, well they shouldn't. Wow,

324
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 4: that is something man.

325
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: That's my next chapter, Etsy Witch, Katie, I wish we

326
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: had more time. I'd love to hear your comments.

327
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 5: Bargain Witch discount which tired of playing full witch prices.

328
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: Bogo Witch, buy one spell, get one free. Joe the

329
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: Witch doing business. Here's my website.

330
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: Are strong and getty.

331
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 7: The US is not going to be providing these systems

332
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 7: to Ukraine directly. Instead, President Trump says that he is

333
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 7: going to be selling these systems to NATO allies and

334
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 7: they are then going to backfill themselves and then send

335
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 7: the ones that they have to the Ukrainians.

336
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 5: Okay, we have breaking news around the whole US supplying

337
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 5: weapons to Ukraine. Trump's attitudes towards Russia. We were discussing

338
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 5: that some last hour Why are you giving him fifty days?

339
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 5: Did you really not understand who Putin was? Et cetera,

340
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 5: et cetera. Financial Times first reporting this. Now another news

341
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 5: outlets have picked it up. Can you hit Moscow? Trump

342
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 5: asked Zelinski to strike deep inside Ussia? According to a

343
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 5: new report, what am I hearing here?

344
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 4: Hello? Was that that's my phone? Sorry about that? Please

345
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 4: silence your devices.

346
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 5: I'm on a news site that has pop up ads,

347
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 5: so right, yeah, this.

348
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 4: Is big though.

349
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 5: In a dramatic shift from his earlier hands off rhetoric,

350
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 5: US President Donald Trump privately urged Ukrainian President Zelensky to

351
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 5: set up strikes inside Russian territory, even asking him directly

352
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 5: if Ukraine could hit Moscow and Saint Petersburg if given

353
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 5: the right weapons. I don't quite understand that question. They

354
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 5: have the actual audio. This is from the July fourth

355
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 5: call with Zelensky. If you were paying attention to that.

356
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 5: Over fourth, Joly awake and Trump talked to him on

357
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 5: the phone right after he talked to Putin. So the

358
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 5: key to this is he was on the phone with

359
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 5: Putin for a long time. Got off the pone was

360
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 5: the pone, got off the phone, was very unhappy with

361
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 5: Putin told reporters the call was horrible. That seems to

362
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 5: be like when he reached that finalist, guy's full of crap.

363
00:18:59,600 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 4: Stay.

364
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 5: He gets on the phone with Zelensky and says, and

365
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 5: they have the quote series. So somebody heard it. Vladimir,

366
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 5: can you hit Moscow? Can you hit Saint Petersburg too?

367
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 5: Trump asked during the July fourth call, citing two people

368
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 5: who heard the conversation. The provocative exchange followed a tense

369
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 5: call between Trump and Putin, as I said, which the

370
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 5: US president later described as bad. Now, it's possible this

371
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 5: is leaking out on purpose the day after. In fact,

372
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 5: it almost certainly is. It's leaking out on purpose the

373
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 5: day after. Trump announces the pause, the weapons, that all

374
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 5: the other stuff. This is part of the package. I'm

375
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 5: thinking This behind the scenes conversation highlights a growing frustration

376
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 5: within Trump with Moscow and blah blah blah blah blah.

377
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 5: Trump was asked just a few minutes ago does he

378
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 5: trust Putin? And Trump said, I basically don't trust anyone.

379
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 5: So that's interesting.

380
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: According to two individuals, he still resists, though, just bluntly

381
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: assessing Putent's you know, worthiness as a negotiating partner.

382
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 4: I guess I get that.

383
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 5: According to the two individuals familiar with the call, Trump

384
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 5: signal to support signaled support for Ukraine launching long rage strikes,

385
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 5: describing the approach as a way to make them feel

386
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 5: the pain and force the Kremlin to negotiate. This is big,

387
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 5: if it's true. I don't quite understand the question of

388
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 5: could you hit Moscow? Well, I could if you give

389
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 5: me weapons that reach that far.

390
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 4: I mean, if you had the right weapons, could you.

391
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 4: But that's what I just.

392
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 5: To what I've been asking for for three years now.

393
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 5: I'd be happy to hit Moscow. I'll do it today

394
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 5: if you give me the right stuff. And why am

395
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 5: I hearing this eleven days after the fact. I think

396
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 5: was it leaked by the Ukrainians?

397
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 4: Two people for nah.

398
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 5: I could be wrong, but I think it's a coordinated

399
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 5: yesterday's messaging and this is part of a look the

400
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 5: Vladimir we're serious. Or maybe it came out today because

401
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 5: of you know, Lavrov's response to the fifty day pause

402
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 5: where he said, yeah, twenty four hours, one hundred days,

403
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 5: we've heard it all. Whatever, Maybe we leaked it on

404
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 5: purpose for that. Okay, we're talking about giving them weapons

405
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 5: and hitting Moscow in Saint Petersburg.

406
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: Now, okay, right that I get now, okay, all right, yeah, oh.

407
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 5: That's big stuff though. You talk about a turnaround from

408
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 5: you don't have the cards? Why didn't you wear.

409
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 4: A suit to? Can you hit Moscow if I send

410
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 4: you the right stuff? Yeah?

411
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: Huh at fifty days of holding our breath, I guess

412
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: and waiting to see what develops.

413
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 5: Well, you don't have to hold to the fifty days.

414
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 5: There are no rules where you can't just fire missiles

415
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 5: into Saint Petersburg unless.

416
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: Well, right, right, yeah, but that might be part of

417
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: what happens during the fifty days, ratchet things up bit

418
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: by bet and I still maintain that. I think that's

419
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: mostly time for India in particular and a few other

420
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: countries to figure out where they're going to buy their

421
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: oil instead of Russia, since they're going to be hit

422
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: by gigantic secondary tariffs for trading with Russia if they continue.

423
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 5: Well, Russia's trying to kill every Ukrainian or at least

424
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 5: as many as they need to to take over the

425
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 5: country they hit.

426
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: The hundreds and hundreds of attacks or recently have had

427
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: no military value they're just killing civilians.

428
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 5: Just killing civilians, in fact, targeting civilians and apartments, hospitals, schools,

429
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 5: people waiting at bus stops, wherever they can find a

430
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 5: crowd of people, they'd try to kill them. So from

431
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 5: a justification standpoint, hell, yeah, you should hit Moscow or

432
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 5: Saint Petersburg or wherever you've got to. But if you

433
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 5: were ever concerned about it's starting World War three, which

434
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 5: I haven't really been, but this is certainly a step

435
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 5: closer to that. If you start fire into Moscow, that's

436
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 5: when you got to wonder if Putin would use a

437
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 5: tactical nuke just to send a message. The Biden administration

438
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 5: was concerned about that, and they had some belief that

439
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 5: Putin would. It's not inconceivable. No, it's not, absolutely not inconceivable.

440
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 5: It's going to get exciting fast.

441
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 4: Oh boy, that's one word for it. Let's see what.

442
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: I've had a couple of transitions run through my head,

443
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: but they seem very inappropriate. Next flight I take, can

444
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: I like, instead of choosing my seat or my meal,

445
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: if you're flying first class or something, can I choose

446
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: whether my pilot is mentally ill or not? Have you

447
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: heard this medical records for the Air India pilot killed

448
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: in last month's crash, that big Boeing Dreamliner that took

449
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: off and just did rise and crashed into the medical

450
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: school hostile whatever it was. Medical records for the Air

451
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: India pilot were reportedly turned over to investigators, and the

452
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: reports say he'd been suffering from depression and other mental

453
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: health issues. Captain Samit Sar Sabarwall age fifty six, was

454
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: the lead pilot. He'd taken medical leave in recent years

455
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: due to apparent mental health woes, heard from several of

456
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: This is a quote e leading Indian aviation safety expert.

457
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: Quote I've heard from several Air India pilots told me

458
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: he had some depression mental health issues. He'd taken time

459
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: off from flying in the last three to four years.

460
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: He'd taken medical leave for that. That's their rules. I

461
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: don't know if that that's our rules. I don't think

462
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: you could disclose mental health issues and continue to be

463
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: a commercial pilot in the United States.

464
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 4: No, I don't know. You can't.

465
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: But he must have been medically cleared by the Air

466
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: India doctors. They must have given the clearance Act forget,

467
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: said this expert. But if you remember we reported on

468
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: this a few days ago. The jet engine's fuel cutoff

469
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: switches right had been flipped just three seconds after taking off,

470
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: and the cockpit chatter included one of the pilots in

471
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: the cock that's saying, hey, why did you flip those

472
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: switches off, and the other guy saying I didn't flip

473
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: them off, And they were flipped back on again, supplying

474
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: the fuel flow to the jet engines, but it was

475
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: too late. That's a tough suicide by pilot, much like

476
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: that vanished Malaysian air flight of not too many years ago.

477
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 5: I don't think it's fair to call it suicide because

478
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 5: you killed a whole bunch of people. Well yeah, fair enough,

479
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 5: but yeah, that was his motivation. Why'd you decide to

480
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 5: kill a whole bunch of innocent people, you scumb back.

481
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 5: I can't imagine for a second, Come bag, you want

482
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 5: to kill yourself as a grown up adult, you know?

483
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 5: How about you don't? But you know your choice. You

484
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 5: don't get to take a whole bunch of people with you.

485
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 5: And there's no justifying that whatsoever. Yeah, that is that,

486
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 5: that's actually insane. That's a heck of a thing. If

487
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 5: it's true that in the United States. So you're you're

488
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 5: depressed as a commercial pilot, but you got to keep

489
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 5: it a secret because if you.

490
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,359

Speaker 5: about offensive weapons. No, that from a couple of different

530
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 5: books that have been published. That is true. Do nothing

531

540
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,560

541
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do. I'm gonna consult an Etsy Witch.

542
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 4: It's a good idea. I might do that.

00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 5: A spell for understanding. I might do that today. I

544
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,920

Speaker 5: Got a couple of people I wouldn't mid seen get

547
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 5: hit by a bus.

548
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,360

556
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 3: whose idea was this? We need an idea for the

557
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 3: next newness event. How about a sport where you bend

558
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,000

559
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,800

Speaker 5: I don't want to see it on your average I.

561

Speaker 1: over and over again. Good lord, people are nuts. Oh,

00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 4: You alerted us early in the hour. Is a thing.

566
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 5: You can go on Etsy and find a witual cast

567
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 5: a spell for you.

568
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 4: Yes, whether to find love or employment or whatever.

569
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 8: Yes, I had no idea this was even a thing,

570
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 8: and so I looked it up, and sure enough, Etsy

571
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 8: is not doing a damn thing about this, because there's

572
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 8: pages of.

573
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,400

00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 8: Hey, for six six bucks, you can get an obsession

575
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 8: love spell if you're ready to feel and experience a

576
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 8: love spell that's so intense and unforgettable.

577
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 4: Oh, that's the kind I'm looking for you. You have

578
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 4: a with them doing this.

579
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 5: I have zero problem with them being a conduit between

580
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 5: fraudsters and dumb people.

581
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 4: No, I don't have any objection. No I don't. I mean,

582
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 4: I don't buy it. But if somebody else wants to go, sure, you.

583
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: Got to decide. It's like you're going to be a

584
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: wine maker. Though, what market do you want? Do you

585
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: want to do five dollars spells or do you want

586
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: to be like Mariah Spells has over four thousand sales

587
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: logged four point nine stars rating. By the way, really

588
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: good spells, high quality spells. People must be happy with

589
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,719
Speaker 1: the results. She sells lesser spells, but also sells a

590
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: permanent protection spell for about two hundred dollars.

591
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 5: Wow, Okay, that's a good one because that one's not falsifiable.

592
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 4: That's a perfect spell.

593
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 5: Because if it's you know, I get this love interest

594
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 5: and you don't get them, then the spell didn't work.

595
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 5: But if it's just protection, as long as I'm still alive, Hey,

596
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 5: you're doing it.

597
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at some of these people, Katie, and

598
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: feel free to to pipe in there, just a little

599
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: bit of vaguely metaphysical. You know, ethereal got a crystal

600
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: over here in the background, you got some beads, you're

601
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: wearing a weird necklace and maybe a head dress of

602
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: some sort.

603
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 4: That's a here's to be all it takes. Beads are

604
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 4: beads are big. Don't forget the crystal ball. Yeah right,

605
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 4: So trying so hard? Like, what did you search on Okay?

606
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 8: She typed in I typed in witches on Etsy and

607
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 8: you got lots of results. There's a bad luck spell

608
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 8: for a wap in two dollars and forty seven cents.

609
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 4: You can't afford not to. I know you have to

610
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 4: try it. Now. Here's the sort of service side demand.

611
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: Emerald Bishop, a witch in Columbia, South Carolina, is averaging

612
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: about fifteen spells a week. She charges thirty five to

613
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty dollars for spells, does not offer refunds,

614
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: although she will recast a spell if you get no

615
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: movement within three months. Here's a woman calls herself a

616
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: reformed skeptic of witchcraft after she bought a twenty five

617
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 1: dollar Etsy spell that led to a boyfriend and a

618
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: tax refund.

619
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 4: I pray a good amount.

620
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: I grew up Episcopalian, the New Yorker said, but it's

621
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: definitely the witch. The timing is too suspect. Man, you

622
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: know it makes me sad on a way. Well it does,

623
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: but they're not sad.

624
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 5: No, they're happy, you know. Yeah, so they're buying happiness

625
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 5: and Joe wants to deny them that. Wow, Joe wants

626
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 5: to deny them happiness just because they're stupid people.

627
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 4: It must be on the list. No, I want it

628
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 4: both ways.

629
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: I want the freedom to sell somebody a spell, and

630
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: I want to then mock everybody involved.

631
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 5: I don't know how you do this. Uh, we've talked

632
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 5: about this for years. Did you ever do this when

633
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 5: you did radio Katie? We steps psychics on back a

634
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 5: day and we stopped doing it because it was just

635
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 5: so clearly taking advantage of sad, lonely people and Jewish.

636
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 4: She couldn't enjoy it anymore. Yeah.

637
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: So a couple of those quotes, actually, virtually every quote

638
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: in this article from somebody who went to a witch

639
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: and was pleased is somebody who has no concept, zero

640
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: concept of the difference between correlation and causation. They don't

641
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: even know there is a difference. I bought a spell

642
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: and I got a tax refund three months later, So

643
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean that's all you need to know. I mean,

644
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: they don't even comprehend that. Wait a minute, there's a

645
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: major logical flaw here. It's it's like the one percent

646
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: of people who eat pickles die, so pickles obviously are

647
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: a terrible idea. No, No, it relates directly to human

648
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: beings need to identify patterns even when they don't exist,

649
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: which brings me to something I want to talk about

650
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: next hour. That's right, we do yet another our grabit

651
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: via podcast subscribed Armstrong.

652
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 4: You Getty on demand wherever you get podcasts.

653
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: But it's about the appeal of conspiracy theories, and a

654
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 1: lot of it has to do with we as a beast,

655
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: are driven to find patterns so we can protect ourselves.

656
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Ogg wandered into a pond in Florida.

657
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: He was eaten by an alligator. Wandering into ponds in

658
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: Florida is dangerous. You've established a pattern there, but kind

659
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 1: of out of control. It leads to wild conspiracy theories.

660
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: The signs behind it really interesting. We'll do it next hour.

661
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 5: So what percentage of people do you think are susceptible

662
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 5: to an Etsy Witch? Off the top of your head?

663
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 5: Would you guess you think anybody Katie like? Do you

664
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 5: think it's one percent eight You think it's that high?

665
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 5: I think yeah, really, you think a one out of

666
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 5: five people might go for an Etsy Witch? Yeah, might

667
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 5: be a little less, but wow, Okay, I guarantee you

668
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 5: it's ten percent. Really high confidence. Now you know if

669
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 5: that's true. That explains a lot. Explains a lot.

670
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: Actually, do you miss any immigrants from various cultures that

671
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: have high tolerance for this?

672
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 4: You miss a segment or now, or get the podcast?
