Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio studio of the

00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: Little Friday or Lowell Friday Friday? Oh interesting? Today's general

00:00:53,240 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: manager lies damn lies and statistics Yester GDP report being

10
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: called the weirdest gd Report GDP Report Ever, Oh really,

11
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about this. Oh boy, howdy completely

12
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: changes the story. Oh really, Well, I want to hear

13
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: about that cruel good That's what I'm shooting for. I

14
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: like that sort of thing. I don't know that story

15
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: at all. I like it. You know what, there are

16
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: a couple of stories today that are incredibly important, significant

17
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: that people will not hear elsewhere because they take a

18
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: minute to explain. And by a minute, I mean like

19
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: sixty seconds. But so much of our media, whether broadcast

20
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: or even online, to a large extent, is so hit

21
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: and run if it takes more than twenty two seconds

22
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: or however long a damn TikTok video is. People don't

23
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: even pay attention to it. But you, my friends, you

24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: will be well informed. I like the fact that overnight

25
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: Trump called Jerome Powell stupid. That's my favorite thing. Ah

26
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: that entertaining. Jerome too late Powell. That's the guy that

27
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: runs a federal reserve and has a hand and whether

28
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: interest rates go up or not. And he didn't. He

29
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: didn't lower interest rates this week, like Trump is all

30
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: it's they. But yeah, go on, Jerome too late Powell.

31
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: That's why I said has a hand in. Jerome too

32
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: late Powell has done it again. He is too late

33
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: and actually too angry. This is all in caps. He's

34
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: actually too angry, too stupid, and too political to have

35
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: the job of FED chair. He's costing our country trillions

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: of dollars in addition to being one of the most incompetent,

37
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: corrupt renovations of a building in the history of construction.

38
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: Too stupid, You're too stupid to do your job. That's

39
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: an insult. I've never had that one. I've had bosses

40
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: yell at me for everything. Variety of things. But I've

41
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: never had anybody say, you know what your problem is,

42
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: you're too stupid to do your job. Oh that's a guy,

43
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, PhD in economics and a storied career. Yeah, okay,

44
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: it's just stupid. What a funny part of the personality

45
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: of the president. I'm glad you find it funny. Well,

46
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: today you're lucky some chuckling some days. I don't Today,

47
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: for whatever, I just think it's just so absurd. It

48
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: is so absurd. I mean, what do you think, I mean,

49
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: in any workplace set, in any setting whatsoever, with adults,

50
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: What do you think you're accomplishing by saying you're too stupid? Oh,

51
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're amused. What do you think he thinks

52
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: he's accomplishing. I have no idea. I think he's an

53
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: undisciplined child half the time. I mean, it was one

54
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: of your middle of the night tweets or truths or whatever.

55
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: You're a total loser. You know. There's a certain core

56
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: constituency is that loves that. It loves the brawling and

57
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: the tough talk and the insults and all well brawling, yes, may,

58
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: but I don't know some of the trumpiest people I

59
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: know at stuff like that, they roll their eyes and

60
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: say why I would agree, Yeah, that's my experience as well.

61
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: You asked, and so I attempted to come up with

62
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: an answer. It's just so amazing. I feel like if

63
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: I ever did that, I would like the next day

64
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: think I need to reevaluate my way I handle things.

65
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: Sorry for well, Ron is stupid in the middle of

66
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: the night, and if he weren't famously sober, I think

67
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: all of us would sink. Oh, for God's sake, Melanie

68
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: has got to take the phone out of his hand

69
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: after that second trying. Yeah. Yeah, if it wasn't that,

70
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: he's you know, no caffeine, no booze, no nothing ever

71
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: his whole life. Yeah, you'd automatically think, because this happens

72
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night so often, you'd absolutely

73
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 1: think he's drunk, because that is such a drunk post

74
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: all the capital letters, too angry, too stupid, and a

75
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: total loser. All right, all right, that's good. Maybe he's

76
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: on nicazines or kratom. There are not one, but two

77
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: stories about weird new drugs that are killing people by

78
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: the hundreds and soon to be the thousands. Oh, it's

79
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: just like a fentanyl thing, like people are getting high

80
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: on them. I thought you were talking about that's going

81
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: to mention a sleep drug or weight loss drug or something. No, No,

82
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: these are both getting high drugs, okay. And what do

83
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: they do to you? Like they leave holes in your

84
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: legs and like trank, you just don't have any brain

85
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: activity anymore, like you lean over. But there must be

86
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: some upside or you wouldn't take it right, right. Yeah,

87
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: In the case of the one, it's the cleverness of

88
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: Chinese scientists who keep coming up with synthetic opioids to

89
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: feed to the decadent Americans and we keep gobbling them up. Wow,

90
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: innovative fellas those Chinese. There were several truth socials overnight

91
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: announcing some big tariff deals that we can get to

92
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: a little bit later, as the deadline is tomorrow for

93
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of that stuff. Canada hasn't been worked

94
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: out yet, And Canada announced in the last couple of

95
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: hours that they are going to also recognize Palestine as

96
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: a state, breaking with the United States for the first time.

97
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: So that is starting to crumble. I hope it doesn't

98
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: end up just being US and Israel completely alone in

99
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: the UN. That would not be good. I don't think

100
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: for anybody. Somebody's got to explain to me what that

101
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:39,119
Speaker 1: means exactly to recognize as a state. Just a amorphous

102
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: mass of people've got some land, but nobody's sure what.

103
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: They don't have a functioning government because the last one

104
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: was run by a brutal terrorist organization. But we're going

105
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: to recognize them as a country. You gotta send an

106
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: ambassador Canada where to. I don't think it means anything concretely,

107
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: but I think it means a Lotreally countries are starting

108
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: to peel off, and it could end up just being

109
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean, because there's always been the United States and

110
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: a handful of like the important countries in the world

111
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: that stood by us in Israel and all these resolutions

112
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: and everything in the UN. And if that all falls away,

113
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you excuse me. Did a bug fly in

114
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: my throat? What happened there? I don't know. I have

115
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: to examine the footage, you know, for the crowd that

116
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: hates Jews and conspiracy theorists and everything like that, When

117
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: it's just the United States and Israel alone on all

118
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: this stuff, that's that's not going to be a good look.

119
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: I would agree yeah, it is not a good look.

120
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: One of my favorite writers said Hamas will never surrender.

121
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: It's time for a Plan B for Israel, which I

122
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: found intriguing. We can touch on that. What could that

123
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: possibly be? Well, the point is that you will never

124
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: actually defeat them. They will be a brutal gorilla force

125
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: for one hundred years. You have to come up with

126
00:07:54,200 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, you're too stupid. Yeah you're I'm gonna

127
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: try that with my wife. I don't know. Friend, if

128
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: I had a disagreement, whatever, kids, sure, every neighbors please

131
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: See for one? What number two? What? Let's start the

132
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this.

133
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, the last day of July thirty one.

134
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: You're twenty twenty five. We're Armstrong and getting We approve

135
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: of this program. All right, then, let's begin the show officially.

136
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: Now according to the FCC Rules of Regulations, here we

137
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: go at Mark High nun.

138
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: Is warning its customers that some of its vodka seltzers

139
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: were accidentally labeled as non alcoholic Celsius energy drinks. The

140
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 2: company says the high nun Beach variety packs, which have alcohol,

141
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: were mislabeled as the Celsiest astro Vibe energy drink. Those

142
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: packs were shipped recently to six states in the eastern

143
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: half of the country.

144
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: So the net result being if you if your energy

145
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: drink causes you to crash your car and or sleep

146
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: with someone you find unattractive. Uh, perhaps you got one

147
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: of those art to call your boss too stupid to

148
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: do his job. Perhaps Hey, I got energy and I

149
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: can't remember my problem. I don't know if I feel

150
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: more energetic, but I feel pretty good. I felt real

151
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: energetic for a while. Now I don't feel energetic at all.

152
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: If you hammered down a whole can of vodka, you'd

153
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: be feeling something. I guarantee you. Oh wow, Well, we

154
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: got Katie's headlines on the weekd we mail bag this hour.

155
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: We do have to get into some of the actual

156
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: announcements where it wasn't just calling people stupid for various

157
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: things that are going around the world. Made some strong

158
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: statements about Russia. Russia just hammered Kiev again last night.

159
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: So apparently Trump's new fifty days, schmifty days. I don't

160
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: trust you. Vladimir didn't hurt Vladimir's feelings because he went

161
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: after Kiev last night. Number of people killed, three hundred

162
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: drones all at the capitol, and Trump with some strong

163
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: words about that last night. So we'll see where that's going.

164
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: All on the way, here's our text line four one

165
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: five two nine five KFTC Trump, uh truths out. I

166
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: don't care what India does with Russia. They can take

167
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: their debt economies down together, for all I care. We

168
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: have done very little business with in the other tarifs

169
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: or two high among the highest in the world. Likewise,

170
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let's

171
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: keep it that way and tell med Vedev that the

172
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: failed former president of Russia who thinks he's still present

173
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: to watch his words. He's entering very dangerous territory. Wow,

174
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: so much for wooing India. They can take their debt

175
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: economies down together. I don't care. It's this interesting that

176
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: that's the way we're communicating our policy toward two some

177
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: of the biggest economies in the world. Right, And it's

178
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: worth throwing in that a number of things that Trump

179
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: has done and is doing, are are yielding very good result?

180
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: Sure.

181
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: On the other hand, I can see it in the

182
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: faces of the world leaders. This is so weird. We

183
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: just need to get through this. It's a few years

184
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: of our lives and they'll elect somebody else and it'll

185
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: purely be more normal. That's what they're thinking. You can

186
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: read it behind their eyes. It's just odd times, all right.

187
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: A lot to get to this hour, including the fact

188
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: that the gross domistic product report that got so much

189
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: attention yesterday is is probably wildly misleading or in the

190
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: right direction or wrong direction. You're not gonna love it.

191
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: But first let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the

192
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: lead story with Katie Green.

193
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: Katie all right, he's starting with MSNBC. Trump threatens trade

194
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: war with Canada over recognition of Palestinian state.

195
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. His response to what was, Wow, it's going to

196
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: be very difficult to get a trade deal now that

197
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: Canada's recognized Palestine.

198
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: From CNN, Trump says, quote fastest way to end humanitarian

199
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: crisis in Gaza is for Hamas to release remaining hostages.

200
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: Immediately left out of every story is Hamas has a

201
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: saying this too. They could stop declaring all Jews need

202
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: to die and let the hostages loose if they wanted to,

203
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: and that would change things quite a bit. If they

204
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: and the leadership before them, and the leadership before them

205
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: had seriously wanted peace with Israel, they would have had

206
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent of what they asked for. In a

207
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: Homeland to day, ask Bill Clinton, ask Jimmy Carter, asks

208
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: you know any successive president it's a jihadist maniac Middle

209
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: Ages organization.

210
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: From the Wall Street Journal, New York shooting puts Mandami

211
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: on the spot over his views on police.

212
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Well, so he backed off his uh anti police rhetoric yesterday.

213
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: He's a clever fella, no doubt, he's an articulate boy.

214
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, his his past is haunting him in terms

215
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: of crime and the police and the rest of it.

216
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: And it's really really interesting. I also read a perspective

217
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: about the percentage of young voters who think it was

218
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: justified to murder that young father who happen to work

219
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: for a healthcare company in cold blood on the streets,

220
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: who think all sorts of violence and horror is justified.

221
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: This is an odd generation coming up. Well, we let

222
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: them get miseducated in government schools.

223
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 3: I think kind of along with that from Fox News,

224
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: Cincinnati City councilwoman victims of mob attack quote begged for

225
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 3: that beat down.

226
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: Well, I still don't. I haven't looked into the story

227
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: because it sounds so horrible. Is any is anybody going

228
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: to pay a price, go to prison anything for this?

229
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: Or maybe? Yeah? Fox News is finally reporting that it

230
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 1: was all black people beating down two white people and

231
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: trying to kill them in the streets. And there is

232
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: talk of hate crime charges, and there absolutely should be

233
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: if the exist anywhere in the country, it's appropriate. Here

234
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: clearly had a racial component.

235
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: From the Washington Post, the federal government is paying more

236
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: than one hundred and fifty four thousand people to not work.

237
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: That's a lot of sub through early resignation offers and

238
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 3: other programs have reduced the workforce, but we're paying for it.

239
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: How do I get one of those deals? Seriously, sign

240
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: me up. I could kick ass at that job.

241
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: From USA Today, Kamala Harris leaves door open for potential

242
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight presidential run.

243
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: Yes, so she announced yesterday she's not running for governor

244
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: of California, And my first thought was, Okay, it's serious.

245
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: Then she is seriously considering running for president, which is

246
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on. I think she could

247
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: get elected governor of California because we're such a wacky

248
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: state she is, I don't think. I think same as

249
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: the last time she ran. She won't make it to

250
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: Iowa running for president. No, No, it'll be a joke.

251
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: How is she to be humiliated? How is she that deluded?

252
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, because she's dumb, or she's surrounded by

253
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: people that because she's too stupid, you're too stupid. She's

254
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: surrounded by people that get, you know, something out of

255
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: tell her you can win.

256
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: For maybec Brown University joins the list of colleges reaching

257
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: million dollar deals with the White House to unfreeze their funding.

258
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, the universities are clearly discriminating by race and religion

259
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: as well, just openly, or if it's not openly, behind

260
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: the scenes and there's huge paper trails available. We'll talk

261
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: about that more later too. But yeah, it's it's shameless.

262
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: This is one of the things that Trump administration that

263
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: is doing that is fantastic.

264
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: From the New York Post, Louisiana medicaid millionaire bought a

265
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: Lamborghini while claiming government benefits for years.

266
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: Yesterday was the the sixtieth anniversary of the signing of

267
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: Medicare and Medicaid. We should go through some of the

268
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: numbers over those decades of what has and hasn't been accomplished.

269
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: Bigger emphasis on what hasn't been accomplished other than spending

270
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: tax payer money that has been accomplished to a great.

271
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 3: Great level study fines and I apologize for this.

272
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: Guys.

273
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: Oh poop pee and perspiration and the deceptive smell of chlorine.

274
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: How jermy really.

275
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: Is a swimming pool? M Some of the details in

276
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 3: this are grim.

277
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would guess.

278
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 3: And finally the Babylon Bee, which is usually satire, but

279
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: maybe they're right here. Kamala announced that she will step

280
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: away from politics to spend more time with vodka.

281
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: Wow, I'll bet she never even runs for president. When

282
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: she starts trying to get people behind her to back her,

283
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: and the money people and everything like that, it just

284
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: ain't gonna happen. Maybe a little preliminary quiet polling comes

285
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: back dismally. Yeah, I could see her, although I'm holding

286
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: out hope because I would love to see that. It

287
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: would be hilarious. I would like it too. She was

288
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: at the top of the poles in California even though

289
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: it's very very early, and decided not to run Armstrong

290
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: and Geddy.

291
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 4: An earthquake struck off the coast of Russia yesterday that

292
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: measured an eight point eight magnitude on the Richter scale.

293
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 4: It was so powerful that Putin's associates were falling off

294
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 4: balconies by accident.

295
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: I like that, and he joke at the expense of

296
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: Putin being evil as good joke Here before Joe inexplicably

297
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: throws a wet blanket on a good news story from yesterday.

298
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why he wants to bring us down.

299
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: Apparently he wanted Kamla to win. But before mainenance malice.

300
00:17:54,040 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: Before Joe gets to that, two things. One got really

301
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: interesting news about Kamala Harris I hadn't come across since

302
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: yesterday's announcement. And two homework assignment for you, Katie, because

303
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: I assumed Joe hasn't looked into this. The orange thing

304
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: in the picture of Epstein's cell. They got all the

305
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: attention all day yesterday. Can you fill us in on

306
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: that story, Katie, coming.

307
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's it's they're calling it quote.

308
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: End plane site. Yeah, coming up. I want you to

309
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: nail that down for us, because that was Is that

310
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: related to the green thing seen on the court in

311
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: the WNBA game? No, it's not at all. Okay, there is.

312
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: What is that in Epstein's cell became a storied yesterday,

313
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: so I'll have that on the way too. Fascinating. So

314
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: yesterday the news was that the economy grew at a

315
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: three percent annualized basis, which is pretty good, and various

316
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: people were saying, this makes it clear that AB and C,

317
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: including that the tariff thing hasn't hurt the economy. I

318
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: don't know if i'd say that it didn't know that

319
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: we weren't official. People were saying that, yeah, it didn't

320
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: mean we are official. Weren't officially in a recession, which

321
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: would have been, like I said, thank god I avoided

322
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: that conversation. And a lot of Trump fans or conservatives

323
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: are touting the fact that a wasted bill Maher say,

324
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, I thought the tariff thing might cousinflation are

325
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: screwed up, but you got to give him credit. It

326
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: hasn't well. As I said yesterday and have said for

327
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: quite a while, many birds have not yet come home

328
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: to roost. And here's in defense of the people that

329
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: said the things you were just saying. A lot of

330
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: those people were saying they would have happened by now, yes,

331
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: although a lot of that talk was based on the

332
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: so called Liberation Day tariffs, which never happened. So that's

333
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: ancient pushback nailing down who meant what? At what point

334
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: is well, that's hidious and so moving along, This may

335
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: be the weirdest GDP report ever, according to the fellows

336
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: of the Walls Street Journal, who would know. The top

337
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: line growth number looks good in the White House touted

338
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: of course, and it reversed a zero point five percent

339
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: decline in the GDP in the first quarter, which was

340
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: largely explained by a huge surge of imports as businesses

341
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: tried to front run the anticipated tariff barrage. Remember the

342
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: quirk of the GDP accounting that it's essentially domestic production

343
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: minus imports. Okay, so growth in the first half of

344
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: the year turned out to be about one point two

345
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: percent annualized. Most striking are the second quarter reports wild

346
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: internal details. Net exports minus, which is exports minus imports,

347
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: added a remarkable five percent to GDP as imports fell

348
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: by more than thirty percent. That's a big number. Yeah,

349
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: that's an astonishing number. In one imports. Yes, imports subtract

350
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: from growth in the Nashal accounts because GDP measures domestic production,

351
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: imports are produced over CAS. But they point out imports

352
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: are still crucial to US economic well being because A

353
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: consumers buy them and B businesses use them as inputs

354
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: for what they produce, whether for domestic use or for export.

355
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: Often for export, we import you know, the simple stuff

356
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: or you know, or the raw materials, and we export

357
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: sophisticated stuff or you know. There are many, many variations

358
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: of it. But anyway, the crazy swing and imports shows

359
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: how much Trump's up and down trade policies have disrupted

360
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: business decisions and left companies scrambling to adapt. This seems

361
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: to have had a negative effect on private domestic investment,

362
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: which fell almost sixteen percent in the second quarter after

363
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: a surge in the first. So in short, everybody's flailing

364
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: in business at not sure or what the tariffs are

365
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: going to be, not sure what the situation is important

366
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: export wise, and the birds have not yet come home

367
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: to roost. Well, that doesn't make me happy. You didn't

368
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: need to tell me that. No, so you wish Kamalah

369
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: had won? Is your excellent labs? Exactly my point? Yeah,

370
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: before we go. Oh and the other giant story, which

371
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: we mentioned later in the show yesterday is that federal

372
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: appeals judges are considering the legality of the president's widespread

373
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: tariffs moves today. God that huge court case. Wouldn't that

374
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: be something if the courts decide he can't do that?

375
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: What what have we been talking about for five months? Right?

376
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: Redoing the entire world trade situation? Oh, he can do that? Okay,

377
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: never mind then, And I don't think he's helped his

378
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: case either. And I'll explain that in a second. The

379
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: deliberation day tariffs and all sorts of all the tariff

380
00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: thing has been based on or they use this rationale.

381
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: The Trump administration a nineteen seventies law, the International Emergency

382
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: Economic Powers Act. It lets the president do certain things.

383
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: And I could get into the verbiage of the law,

384
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: but it has to be a quote unquote international emergency.

385
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: And there is a serious disagreement over whether mild trade

386
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: deficits are an emergency. And the second thing, the reason

387
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: I say Trump hurt his case is that he just

388
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: raised tariffs on Brazil sky high because he doesn't like

389
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: how the government of Brazil is treating their ex president,

390
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: his friend Bolsonaro. Or he just threatened overnight to not

391
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: do a tariff deal with Canada because they're going to

392
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: recognize Palestine as a state. Yeah. Yeah, So if I

393
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: were a bettman, wait a min and I am a

394
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: betting man. I don't like his chances in court, but

395
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: I am far from a legal expert. Okay, before we

396
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: get to the hilarity of Kamala Harrison for president, is

397
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: there anything to yesterday's Epstein story? I will preface it

398
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: with this. Mark Halpern, who is in the top handful

399
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: of most trusted journalists I believe what he is reporting,

400
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: thinks the Epstein thing is a giant point of vulnerability.

401
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: Still for Trump, I don't quite get it. I don't

402
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: understand how or why, but he still thinks so. Anyway,

403
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: so yesterday, and I'm a little mystified by that too,

404
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Yesterday's story with and I don't

405
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: get this because these have been around forever. Some photo

406
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: of Epstein's jail cell and somebody noticed something in the

407
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: background Hey, what is that? And that became a story

408
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: for the day. Can you tell you? Can you explain

409
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: this to me, Katie?

410
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's it's actually it's the video of the

411
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 3: surveillance video that they had released.

412
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: Somebody caused it and said, what is that? Right?

413
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 3: Well, as frequent in jail in prison there, they have

414
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: orange jumpsuits, and so they're suspecting that it was an

415
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 3: inmates walking somewhere near Epstein's cell. And the big speculation

416
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 3: is that they said that the staircase was visible by

417
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: that camera, but that orange figure goes out of screen,

418
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: which means that the staircase obviously wasn't.

419
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: So that this is some of the evidence that somebody

420
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: was allowed in to kill him, or their speculation.

421
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 3: I mean, they can't really nail anything down, but they're

422
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 3: going back and forth as to whether this figure was

423
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 3: possibly an inmate headed towards Epstein.

424
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a stretched called the Epstein story

425
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: in industry, yeah, because there is a great deal of

426
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: money made around it and they need a new chapter.

427
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: They need to keep it juiced up. That sounds like

428
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: a good wrinkle. It's like watching a soap opera or

429
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: one of those you know long running series, We'll hit

00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: president someday. You need a will, I need to will.

455
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: annoyed by the dance of are you going to run

456
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: for president? I have no plans currently. He had no

457
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: plans currently. He didn't rule it out. That whole conversation

458
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: has made me tired my whole life. I just don't

459
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: understand it. Apparently we're not going to do that with Kamala, though,

460
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: because the information is out there. She announced yesterday she's

461
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: not running for governor of California, which the election is

462
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: next year. In twenty six the presidential election, forty million

463
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: people breathed a sigh of relief. I think she would

464
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: have won just because we're a stupid state, but presidency

465
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: is in twenty eight she announced he's not running for governor.

466
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: My first thought was, okay, I guess she is serious

467
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: about wanting to run for president. New York Times today.

468
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: Kamala is expected to form an organization shortly that would

469
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: allow her to raise funds and pay for travel and

470
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: political activities. A representative of California said yesterday that he

471
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: had spoken with miss Harris about traveling to competitive House

472
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: districts beginning this fall to assist Democratic candidates. She's going

473
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: to be all across the country for the twenty twenty

474
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: six mid terms. She wants to help us flip the House.

475
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: What democrat wants? Kamala Harris on stage with her. You know,

476
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: I loved the first sentence when I said, Dan, can

477
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: you read that again? Uh, she's got a form an organization. Yeah,

478
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: she's expected to form an organization shortly that would allow

479
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: her to raise funds and pay for travel and political

480
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: activities exactly, And Al Shopton responds, raise funds. We must,

481
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: we much be raising funds so we can live on

482
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: the hug Well pretending to be a politician. You can

483
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: pretend to run for office, get donations, and just travel

484
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: around flying first class or private jet. If you're getting

485
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: enough donations, staying in the best hotels, eating meals, having

486
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: a car, you can live quite the life's as a

487
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: pretend candidate. Finger. So I see Kamala Harris intervening and

488
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: maybe making a speech at the the toss up fourth

489
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: District of Hawaii and the very Purple Aspen District in Colorado.

490
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: Then in the winter time, perhaps assists that close close

491
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: race in Miami Beach. Okay, but here's the most important paragraph.

492
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: Because we got to take a break so she can

493
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: get the mailbag. This is the most important paragraph. This

494
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: is what's got me. I'm just I'm moist with excitement.

495
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: Oh boy. Miss Harris, who was widely criticized last year

496
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: for doing very few media interviews, is expected to beginning

497
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: talking with podcast hosts and journalists beginning after Labor Day.

498
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: According to a person who has spoken to her about

499
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: her plans, she thinks, you're right. It was a mistake.

500
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: I didn't do enough interviews. I'm gonna do lots of interviews.

501
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: Bring it on, Oh do it? Get ready for radio

502
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: gold laugh. I laughed finally about the passage of time.

503
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: There's so much meaning to the passage of time. Finally,

504
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: go on the Joe Rogan podcast, which I know she

505
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: feels like she has to do. I mean, that would

506
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: be hanging out there as a She still hasn't done

507
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan unless she goes on Joe Rogan. So much giggling. Oh,

508
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna be great. We got mail bag coming up

509
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: a look back at what Medicare and Medicaid haven't haven't

510
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: done on this sixtieth birthday Lyndon Johnson signing them into

511
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: laws sixty years ago this week. Costs trillions, many trillions

512
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: of dollars to taxpayers, and no indication really that it's

513
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: accomplished a single good thing, which is why it's being

514
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: canceled you soon. I mean, like any private enterprise would do,

515
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: or any family would do. How odd Anyway, I'm looking

516
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: forward to that. Here's your freedom loving cool of the day.

517
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: Continuing from Javier Milay, the new fabulous libertarian leader of Argentina,

518
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: that is, who is reviving that country. Echoing Milton Friedman,

519
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: by the way, he says, quote, socialism is always in

520
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: everywhere an impoverishing phenomenon that has failed in all countries

521
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: where it's been tried out. It's been a failure economically, socially, culturally,

522
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: and it has also murdered over one hundred million human beings. Yeah,

523
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: Hayek and Milton Friedman are his heroes. It's interesting that

524
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: he got elected. Things got so bad down there that

525
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: they turned to a guy like him. Yeah, And it's

526
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: also just fascinating as you look at human beings, that

527
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: such a miserable failure is so easily sold to people,

528
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: and generation after generation falls for it. Yeah, because if

529
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: you're a child, it makes sense. Maybe we'll talk about

530
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: that later. Indeed, mailbag drop's note mail bag at Armstrong

531
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: and Giddy dot com keep it to you know, reasonably brief.

532
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: Nice note here from Bill, who discovered the show in

533
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight after moving to northern California from

534
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: Southern California. For what that's worth, and he says some

535
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: very nice things and got a nasty diagnosis of cancer

536
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: in May of twenty four. Things are going well, but

537
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: the side effects of the treatment were not fun. I'm

538
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: getting better. I want to thank you for brightening my

539
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: spirits when I was feeling like crap. And he now

540
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: is back in southern California and listens three hours a

541
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: day on seven ninety KABC ABC. Yeah, Bill, thank you

542
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: for a very very nice note. And it's an honor

543
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: that our drivel would elevate any human being in any way.

544
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: Is a pleasant sit but it would make anybody's day

545
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: better rather than worse. Is I consider it and it

546
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: would improve anything. It is pretty sung. It is shot Michael.

547
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: But thank you Bill, that that touch me. Let's see

548
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: how about this? Oh, then you have Tim, who is

549
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: our most consistent email hater. You people are so stupid.

550
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: A hotter planet directly impacts the jet stream, causing global

551
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: climate patterns to change. Right now, the jet stream is

552
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: currently blocked or broken, causing major climate disruptions. So at

553
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: the ocean's a hotter and getting hotter ocean causes the

554
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: global circulation occurrence to slow down, thus causing fluckation fluctuations

555
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: in world tempts. Get it, doubt it anyway, You're wrong,

556
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: and that lunatic running the EPA into the ground should

557
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: hang for a stupid, stupid, stupid deregulation edict. But what

558
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: am I stupid about. I'm not doubting that. I'm saying

559
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: I don't care. That's what I'm saying. I have never

560
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: looked into it because it doesn't matter to me. I

561
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: tell you. That's some good punchy writing, though, I mean

562
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: it was very readable. It's just it was super easy

563
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: to follow. I thought the insults and facts were nicely balanced.

564
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: I would maybe he can respond to this, But what

565
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: is the hole? Why would we destroy our economy or

566
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: or or you know, or live with the tiny crappy

567
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: cars or whatever when we can't make a dent because

568
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: of China and Indian everybody else. What's your response to that,

569
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: I honestly would like to hear that. Yeah, I honestly

570
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: I would. I would leave the tiny crappy cars out

571
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: of it, just because you make an argument we don't

572
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: need bigger cars, and that's a distraction. But why would

573
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: be with the thousand of one hundred thousand effects of

574
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: a truly decimated economy for a meaningless gesture, why would

575
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: that be a good idea? But anyway, good note Tim

576
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: uh Andy and Sack hm Oh on the question of

577
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: earthquake sex scales, which we discussed on the Armstrong and

578
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: Getty One More Thing podcast yesterday. Fascinating and amusing. Joe,

579
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: you poor soul. I don't envy you the emails you'll

580
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: get about earthquake magnitude basics, so you can have AI

581
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: tell you any details you need to school rude chumps.

582
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: The Richter scale was logarhythmic, but we stopped using it.

583
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: We now use the more accurate moment magnitude scale. Now

584
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: when you get those emails, you can say, I know

585
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: you absolute douche pill. That is a term I do

586
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: not use. I can't imagine why a canoe would be

587
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: designed to do any canoe. Yes, you douche canoe. I'm

588
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: using that today. What a douche canoe? No, stop saying it.

589
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: Saying it once was terrible, and I apologize. Is it terrible?

590
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: It's just anyway, as we're about out of time, My

591
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: point was what was my point? Where were talking about? Oh,

592
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm the rector's I'm pretty sure that when I heard

593
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: about the earthquake, they kept mentioning everybody it was a

594
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: blankety blank on the Richter scale, in the same way

595
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: that the media constantly cites the Dow Industrial Average, which

596
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: is a horrifically useless thing to site to gauge the

597
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 1: overall health. O. So you're saying they're using the old

598
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: scale that people have heard of, even though it's not

599
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: as accurate. This guy's saying there's a new scale that

600
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: people in the no use. Yes, okay, okay, yeah, you

601
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: know it's got some more great email. I wish we

602
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: had time for him. Maybe we'll sprinkle it in next hour.

603
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: That's kind of interesting actually, And there they're gonna hang

604
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 1: on to the dumb old. Still happening. We're experiencing earthquake. Please,

605
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: that's what they were saying in Russian. Oh and interestingly,

606
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: well we don't have time for that either. We have

607
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: time for nothing. So little time. Yeah yeah, life is short,

608
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: goes by waste time or time will waste you muse

609
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: it's a good song. Listen to it. Someday we will
