WEBVTT - The A&G Replay Monday Hour Three 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:14.280 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.320 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong. 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:25.880 Arm Strong and Jetty and he arm Strong and Getty Strong. 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:32.800 And here's a headline in the New York Times. Inflation 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:37.080 is basically back to normal. Why do voters still feel blah, wow, 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:42.519 that is just profoundly ignorant. I don't understand. I couldn't 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.239 believe that reporters didn't get this at the beginning of 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:47.000 the conversation. 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:49.839 I don't even know. 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:56.560 I'm nonplussed about how they can still not get this. 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.640 Let me read the opening paragraph from the New York Times. 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:04.679 Can person Grocery inflation has been cooling sharply, but Tamarra 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:06.040 Flamer twenty seven. 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.160 Says she hasn't noticed. 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.039 What she knows is that paper plates and meat remained 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:12.840 more expensive than they were a few years ago. 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.880 Yes, you freaking morons. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.759 You don't notice a decrease in the increase of prices. 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.440 It would be impossible. Nobody would do of the rate. 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:29.200 Yes, nobody would notice a slowing of the rate of inflation. 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:36.120 It's impossible to notice. It's just a it's a dumb concept. Yeah, 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:37.680 oh yeah. 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:42.080 It goes on the lingering. Pessimism is something of a puzzle, 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:43.680 says The New York Times. 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.440 Is it? Is it? Really? Do you know a single 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.320 normal human being? 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.200 You must not, or you would hear people say I 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.720 went to Wendy's last night and it cost sixty bucks 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.480 for me and the kids, or I. 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.559 Filled up with gas yesterday. I don't know how. 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:01.040 People do it. 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.800 Or let me stop you there, Jim, let me stop 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:04.240 you there. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.720 Now Wendy's went from fifty two dollars to sixty dollars 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.720 in the course of seventeen months. Now it's only gone 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.760 from sixty to sixty two. 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.239 Dollars in the course of the last nine months. 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.480 So as you can see, inflation is cooling a Janner 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:21.320 Hamburger right. 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.520 In your face if you tried that to somebody, what 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:24.600 did band these people? 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.680 Where do they live? Mars? I don't know. 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.640 And like I said, do you not have a single 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.080 normal friend? Not one in your circle? Whoever walks in 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:33.720 and say, you know, at a party and says, man, 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.480 I stop by the legerastore, I got this bottle of wine. 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.720 It used to be eight bucks, now it's fifteen. I 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:43.320 can't believe it. That's reality for everyone. But people who 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:44.840 write economics stuff. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.200 It's not. There's more on this. 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.080 The lingering pessimism is something of a puzzle, which makes 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:55.440 you a moron. The job market has been chugging along, 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.240 overall growth has been healthy, and inflation is back to normal. 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.840 It's here. How is that a puzzle? 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.639 Things cost more, way more than they did not very 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:07.160 long ago. 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.440 Period, you morons. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.640 And let me speak for thousands and thousands of people 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:14.520 listening right now. 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.520 The job market is hot. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.640 Okay, I've still got one job, or I used to 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.320 have one, I still have one, and my money, my 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.720 wages have not kept up with inflation, not even close. 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.880 So and then I'll shut up about this because it's 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.079 you know, I'm belaboring the. 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.800 Point, but I just it's I actually can't believe it. 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.160 I find it difficult to believe that the journalists who 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.440 cover the economy are still saying this crap five days. 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.480 Out from a presidential election that Trump. 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:47.720 Is set to win, maybe mainly because of the price 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:48.600 of stuff, and. 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:52.240 They don't get it. I don't understand. Inflation's back to normal. God, 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.080 you're so dumb. I don't even know where to start 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:55.080 with you here. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.760 You are belaboring the point, which points to arise in 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.840 the belaboring statistics like that the labor mark. 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:06.720 You just can't be stopped today with your word play anyway. 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.120 You're just a non stop fountain. 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:15.400 Of wordplay, like an ego Montoya over here of my words. 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.720 Yes, I don't know what you call the subheadline halfway 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:19.480 through an article that's in bold or what. 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:20.720 I don't know what do you call those things? 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.200 But anyway, it says here consumers may focus more on 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:35.239 price levels than price changes. Okay, all right, well that's 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.719 that's correct. Yes, yes, it is incorrect and obvious to 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.520 anyone over the age of five. Yes, good look, I 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.120 can't I'm reeling from that one. You know, I thought 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.159 it was the beating was about over, and you caught 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:51.599 me right in the gyms with that. I mean, consumers 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.760 worry more about fing prices than the rate of e 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.320 fing change, which they can't observe day to day because 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.640 they're busy with the real lives. 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.119 Oh, it's so funny. So I mentioned as a target. 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.719 The other day, I get my normal allotment of stuff 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.479 and it's two one hundred dollars. This is the first 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.839 time it's ever open over two hundred dollars, and I 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.080 said to the guy, two hundred dollars. 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:12.960 He said, yeah, I know everybody reacts that way. 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.080 And I should have said to the guy, Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.440 whoa whoa, back off, buddy. The rate of change is lower, 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.560 all right. The percentage increases lower than it was before, 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.159 so you take it down a notch. I guess I 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.960 should be happy that it's two hundred dollars because it's 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.120 totally gone up two percent in the last month as 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.320 opposed to the you know, between three and nine percent 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.440 for the previous three years. 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.920 I think that that that illustrates this case so beautifully. 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.080 I mean, that would be absurdest humor for you to 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.960 say that to the cashier. And yet that is essentially 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:47.920 the inverse of what they're claiming with straight facing The 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.920 New York Times. Oh, speaking of which, I'm so glad 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.640 you brought this up, because I've been sitting on this 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:57.159 for a while. Dave in Baltimore, I think, yeah, Dave 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.640 and Baltimore sent us this and the title of the 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.000 New York Times articles speaking of the old Gray Lady 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.920 is which appears to be a senilist Joe Biden when 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.799 it writes about economics is wages have been outpaced. I'm sorry, 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.400 let me do this again. The words are important. Wages 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.360 have outpaced inflation, but not for everyone. And here is 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.320 one of my favorite couple of sentences in the history 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:23.880 of my reading newspapers. The bottom line, most American workers 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.400 are probably making more money today adjusted for inflation than 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.280 they were in twenty nineteen, but not all have seen 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.120 their pay keep up with their own cost of living, 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.880 and many, perhaps most, are lagging behind where they would 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:42.200 be if pre pandemic trends had continued unabated. These complications 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.240 may help explain why so many Americans believe they have 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:46.040 fallen behind. 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:48.599 They have fallen behind. Wow. 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.040 The New York Times is saying most Americans are making 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:56.560 more money today adjusted for inflation than they were pre pandemic. 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:00.800 I have seen that statistic nowhere. I don't see how 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.880 that's impossible. They're wrong on the fact. But the second part, 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.440 which I've read a couple of times so I will 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.560 parse for you, is claiming that in spite of that 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:16.200 fact that y'all and we are making more money adjusted 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.280 for inflation, bacon is easier to buy for. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.480 Us than it was pre pandemic. We're going out to 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.480 eat and spending. 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.840 Less relative to our incomes than we were a while ago. 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:29.840 But in spite of that. 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.280 Because we have somehow projected in our heads where we 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:38.280 would be twenty nineteen to twenty twenty four if the 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.560 inflation hadn't been so high for several years, we're coming 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.880 up with some sort of fanciful Yes, bacon is easily 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:49.000 affordable right now, but it would be even more easily 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.120 affordable if not for the inflation of twenty twenty one 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:56.880 through twenty twenty four. And I'm thinking, well, back to 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:02.000 your question, do you know any human beings have. 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.400 You spoken with them? That is? 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:11.400 That is blindness that goes beyond galling and is absolutely 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.800 in the realm of amazing, And I would like to 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.200 hear scientists explain it. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.600 Here's a director of consumer surveys at the University of 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.880 Michigan in the same New York Times article. It's not 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.080 that consumers have lost touch with reality. It's just at 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:30.440 high prices continue to weigh down their personal finances. Thank 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.240 you for having you're a professor. I'm glad you're a 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.199 university professor because none of us regular people could figure 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:37.640 that out at all, and then they. 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.600 beIN of medicine at the University of Michigan said, don't 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.000 jam sharp objects into your eye. 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.560 Where was your article from your nonsensical article? New York Times, 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.240 New York Times. Yeah, so this says wages have climbed 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.920 faster than prices for many consumers. 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.360 Okay, how many? 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.160 Not very I don't know anybody who got enough of 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.680 a raise over the last several years to put them 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:04.680 even even, let alone ahead. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:05.880 I don't know anybody. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.640 Yeah, this is the first time I've ever heard anybody 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.400 claim that, and it's a couple of times in the 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.760 New York Times when you had to that's the narrative. 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.040 Wouldn't you had to have gotten like a twenty percent 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:19.000 raise since twenty nineteen to keep up with the overall 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:19.720 prices stuff? 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:22.920 That's crazy. 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.160 Yeah, I mean we could go on, because they quote 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.600 a couple of more Harvard economists who study how people 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.400 experience inflation. 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.000 You need you all, all of you, all, all y'all, 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.320 as they say in the South, all y'all need to 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:42.280 hang around any normal human beings, go down to your 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.320 corner bar and have a conversation with some people, or 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.360 turn to someone at a you know, a high school 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:51.000 basketball game. Talk to any normal human being. All right, 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.480 somebody who doesn't work for the New York Times live 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.600 in Manhattan is a childish catwoman with an advanced degree. 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.400 And see what think about prices? 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.559 I tell you what, If you can bag this rare game, 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.920 it would be rarer than having a panda head on 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:09.400 your wall. 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:13.360 Okay, wow, you find somebody to your house and you 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.760 got a panda head on your wall? Do I pretend 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.080 I don't see it? I say, hey, Jim, I can't help, 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:19.120 but notice. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.000 I'm I'm wondering what other as that person's up to me? 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.480 Was that they'll do anything? Was that pad live at 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.960 one point? This is rarer game. 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.240 Still, you go down to the corner bar to this 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.760 the soccer game, waiting for kids in line at school, 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:38.960 and you find the person who says, in response to 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.760 my god, prices are so high it's still shocking. They say, yes, 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.000 but the rate of increase has slowed, and that's what's important. 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.600 You bag that rare game, and I will salute you 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:50.960 a mighty hunter. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.040 In the Strong Congetti Show. 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:12.760 This is from a guy I don't know, journalist in Australia. Dude, 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.200 Nobody on the left knows how to speak to young 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.320 men because every five seconds this has had why so 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.160 many young men voted for Trump and are moving away 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.880 from the Democratic Party, where the younger people used to 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.880 all flock to the Democrats. Nobody on the left knows 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.199 how to speak to young men because every five seconds 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.520 at a leftist meeting, you have to either do a 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.280 land acknowledgment, or go around in a circle and pay 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.199 homage to the power of queer joy or some crap. 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.199 He actually says, yes, it's briefly. 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:42.600 I know this because I used to be a socialist, 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.600 and this is how all these organizations act. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.280 I saw all this with my own eyes. 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.680 You have to literally be self flagellating to be in 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.760 the left as a young man these days, and this 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.760 is probably the understanding and experience in perspective of ninety 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.000 percent of young men. The feeling is that you have 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.640 to always constantly apologize for effing existing and just the 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.880 crime of being born. And this is why the right 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.439 is so effective at hoovering all these people up, because 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.600 the experience of constant self flagellation and self criticism is 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.280 effing exhausting and annoying. And nobody wants to wake up 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.320 every day feeling like they are an a s person 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.080 just for the crime of being born. 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.679 I like that. Amen to that. 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.560 He also goes on, we have to fix this because 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.480 I hate watching young guys fall into the Andrew Tait masculinity, 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.800 and then he goes through a couple of examples of that. 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.120 Because they got nowhere to turn to, They're going to 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.760 these like super over the top extremist weirdos just to 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:39.839 find somebody that's you know, appealing to them and not criticize, Yeah, 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:44.199 not criticizing them for being a man. This is an 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.040 existential threat for the Left and even an existential threat 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.840 for humanity itself, because the end result if we don't 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.800 fix these gender warfare dynamics is South Korea style gender 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.760 hyper war and a total fertility rate of point four 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:01.120 and humanity just gets wiped out. That is absolutely I mean, 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.920 that is absolutely true. On the left, if you're going 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:09.199 to continue to make U males feel bad about even 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.679 being born, you're not gonna win a lot of elections. 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:13.320 Or ever get that crowd. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.840 My heart bleeds for the little boys in public schools 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:22.280 or continually treated as if their maleness is a defect. 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.000 I know, it's horrorbies. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:29.960 It's their energy, their boundless energy is a misbehavior. Oh, 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.880 I just you want to get me going. 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:33.480 God. 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.160 I came across some schoolwork the other day and my uh, 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:41.040 my son is homeschooled. But so much of the teaching 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:45.120 material out there is put out there by publishing companies 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:46.800 that are so left I mean, you really have to 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.199 work at getting the right stuff. But anyway, this particular 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.360 thing was all about how women can be doctors. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:54.920 You know, freaking kidding. 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.480 At this point in my life, when somebody says the 0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.280 doctor will see you, I assume. 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.640 It's going to be a woman. I'm surprised if it's 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.319 a man. So what do you what are you talking about? 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:05.760 You won? 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:11.560 Wow? That's just again a head scratcher. What wow? Wow. 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:19.560 I thought I would feel differently after the election. 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:21.440 I thought there would be. 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.440 At the very least fairly widespread recognition to some of 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.560 the simple realities of the thing, which is that Kamala 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.600 Harris was a weak candidate, always was weak candidate. Is 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.760 that putting it out before hapes? You all rejected her, 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.880 as I said, like a rabbit raccoon when she was 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:43.480 in the primary was that sexism and racism when you 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.880 did that, well, I haven't no. Okay, Well, then when 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:50.720 the same thing happened the presidential election, why is your 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:52.000 explanation completely different? 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.280 That is funny that that has never really been put 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.680 to anybody. Your party rejected her when she ran before, 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:02.880 not like right wing, your own party, like the most 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.800 active people in your party. Primary voters said no to 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:11.200 her before she even got to the first contest. So wow, 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.400 how is it shocking that she got rejected by a 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:15.320 larger group of people? 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:22.960 And it's become a so oft observed fact, it's a truism. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.400 It's working its way toward being a cliche that when 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:33.920 Kamala Harris on the View then Colbert? Was it Colbert 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:34.920 or Kimmel, it doesn't matter. 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:40.360 Could not say how she would be different than the 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.680 extremely unpopular Biden administration. That that was one of the 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.320 most pivotal political moments in any campaign. I mean, that 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.520 is so widely discussed right now, there's no point in 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:49.040 bringing it up. 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.560 Everybody knows it. But as I was reading the. 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:57.320 Long top tier editorial writer editorial writers of the Washington 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.240 Post dialogue about what happened, how did we get this 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.400 result that didn't come up. 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.360 I haven't seen any criticism of Kamala Harris as a 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.600 candidate from the left at all. Maybe that's coming. I 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.320 don't know. But I have seen more than I have 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:21.040 ever seen before, and more than I expected of people 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.880 saying we have Democrats have gone too far down the 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.080 road of progressiveness in the culture wars. I have seen 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:31.240 a fair amount of that. Yes, yeah, yeah, your. 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:35.440 Old school liberals are finally finding the courage or the 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.560 cover to stand up and say, hey, y'all, all that 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.560 stuff is madness. 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.600 Which, by the way, is the way you win the 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:47.200 political arguments. That's when you've won. That's a good Other 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.440 side of it would be on gay marriage, where you know, 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.880 if you're old enough to remember this whole battle and 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.400 discussion in America, it got to the point to where 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.960 Republicans realized we got to stop being anti gay marriage. 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:00.880 It's just a losing issue. I mean, we just can't 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.840 be and you stop talking about it. 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.160 And hopefully that's going to start on the left with 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:10.360 the you know, boys playing girls' sports or all kinds 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.879 of different things, where they realize this is we're gonna lose. 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:16.080 We nobody wants to hear this or not enough people 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:20.000 want to hear this right right, Our academic left wing 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.919 is just completely wildly out of touch with Americans. That 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.680 latinex and herstry Herkstreet and that sort of stuff is. 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.240 Insane, absolutely insane. 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:43.120 Are Strong the Armstrong and Getty show. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.240 President Elect Trump with Elon Musk in Texas there for 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.439 the sixth test launch of the SpaceX starship meant to 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.840 eventually take humans to the Moon and Mars. The launch 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.399 itself successful, the booster even detaching as it's supposed to, 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:06.280 but then SpaceX seeing some issue with the booster booster 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.639 offshore divert Unfortunately, that means that we are our no 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.000 go for the catch. It was supposed to land back 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:15.199 in Texas, but to save it from potentially destroying the 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:19.400 SpaceX launch facility or endangering lives on land, the booster's 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.920 shifting course and heading to the Gulf instead for a splashdack. 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.760 So they didn't catch this rocket with them. What does 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:26.159 he call it? 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:30.160 The megasuthan or other is what he calls the giant 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:31.960 arm that catches the rocket booster. 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:33.360 I still feel like. 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.760 The media has not caught on to the way Elon 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:37.800 looks at these things. 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:39.240 Oh yeah, agreed. 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:43.560 The whole fail fast theory or there's no fast and 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:45.040 learn faster, isn't that? 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:46.520 Yeah? 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.480 In this thing which you can apply to your own life, 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:50.240 I've tried to apply it to mine. Is just there's 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.840 no such thing as failure. It's just information. Okay, I 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.040 tried this, this is the result. There's information about so 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.760 now I'll try to try it this way right. 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:03.520 Failure will ever hold you back. Fear of failure is crippling. 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:05.360 Yeah. Interesting. 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:08.840 And Elon expressed again yesterday that he plans to have 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.960 a rocket reach Mars in twenty twenty six. Now he 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.280 promises a lot of things, it often comes up short. 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.679 I think that's part of his whole success thing. Is 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:23.760 he he hits he sets aggressive deadlines. 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:27.320 Yeahs over understrives. 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.600 No, But I mean if he's if he's off by 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.320 several years, that'd be quite amazing. I hope it happens 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.200 in my lifetime. What just a stunning thing to even 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:36.760 think about. 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:39.120 And this isn't aside and we'll dig into this more 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:43.000 thoroughly later on, but compare that idea of we're gonna 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.240 set a goal that's probably not reachable, but we're gonna 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.679 go nuts trying to get there. Who's in compared to 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:55.200 government right where I'd like to see that memo filled 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.000 out by the end of the months. 0:19:58.280 --> 0:19:59.760 There's seven of you working. 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.560 Have we run that through the Environmental Agency to make 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.440 sure we're not a foul of any this or that. 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:08.879 Have the application done by next March. 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:13.960 So speaking of mankind and the amazing thing that Homo 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.199 sapiens have been into outer space and are going to 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.400 go further and further versus many of the other humans 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:22.560 that have existed on planet Earth that didn't make it 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:24.440 out of the Stone Age? 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:26.399 Why is that? 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:29.320 So you might be familiar with the book Sapiens that 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:31.280 came out several years back. It was a big giant 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:34.440 hit and it's just a fascinating freaking book. But I'd 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:36.560 only read the first chapter before, and I'm into the 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:41.200 deeper chapters. At one time, there were six different kinds 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.800 of humans existing on the planet at the same time, 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:49.960 and it's still not completely known why Homo sapiens this 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.240 is what we are, emerged and all the other ones 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:57.439 didn't make it. But one of the genocide against my people, 0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:59.360 the Neanderthals. 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:04.160 Could be or all kinds of different things could happen. 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:06.880 But one of the beliefs is, and I've never heard 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:10.199 this before, is Homo sapiens are the only beast that 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:15.840 has ever existed on Earth that can believe fictions. And 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:20.240 uh and and fully embraced them. And I didn't quite 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.720 understand what he meant by fictions when he started in 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:23.080 on it. 0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.800 But he uses all different kinds of examples. 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:31.160 For instance, and if you're a religious person, you will 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:33.520 be bothered by him using the word fiction. But he 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:36.960
