WEBVTT - How Many French Fries Are Enough?! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:11.360 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong and Getty 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:17.280 and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:25.640 Chipotle has announced that it plans to open a restaurant 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.400 in Mexico next year. Meanwhile, the Olive Garden in Italy 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:36.320 was just burned to the ground. Is sonata basta? 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.720 I haven't eaten at the OG in a long time. 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.519 I should take the kids see what they think of it. 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.960 George w. Bush was striding the halls of the White House. 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.000 I believe last time I was in an olive garden, 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:55.240 you're still good of that level. Food is like anything else. 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.760 And what's the name of that those kind of restaurants 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:03.360 Olive Garden, Red Robin, Applebee's, What's Fast Casual maybe something 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.400 like that. They're all about the same but the same price, 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:07.880 but same taste no matter what. 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.720 It is a shocking number of calories for a surprisingly 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:17.080 reasonable price, right right, yeah, yeah, coming up. The House 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.840 actually did something yesterday, Jack, which is odd or this 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:25.120 week anyway, as the House of Representatives Congress, the Article 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.319 one branch of the Constitution does nothing anymore. As I 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.320 pointed out, last, or they're like the Queen of England. 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.480 They have purely ceremonial duties. Anyway, more on that to 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:40.360 come a shocking number of calories, is right. I was 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:45.640 thinking about the salad at someplace like that the other day, 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.880 Applebee's something like that. The salad was like twenty two 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:56.200 hundred calories. It's just insane. That's something, you know. It's 0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.480 partly age, I think, in partly a self recognition and 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.440 on my part that I have no self control. But 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.280 I've gone from really pleased that a restaurant gives me 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.679 ridiculous portions because I'm getting my money's worth, to being 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:12.080 really pleased when they don't. 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.639 Oh yeah, I don't think I've ever enjoyed the giant portion. 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.520 It's like, why is this so big? I think every 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.200 time they said it in front of me, I've gotten 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.040 better at especially if it's just Henry and me, we 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.600 order something and cut it in half. First of all, 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.600 it costs half as much to eat, and secondly we 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.680 both get stuffed eating is half of. 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.200 What they sent us. I am a fan of the 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.080 First Amendment, as anybody who listens to this show knows, 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.760 beyond a shadow of doubtfit I would like to see 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:42.440 government restrictions on the serving size of French fries. Oh 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.280 my god, how many French fries are enough? Like Red Robin, 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.320 which I think has the best French fries around. I 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.360 love their French fries. They're good, aren't they, Michael, They're delicious. 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.200 Oh my god, those are good French fries. But they 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.560 have bottomless French fries. So the consonant you, what do 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:56.919 you want more? You want us to bring you another 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:58.359 bucket of French fries? 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.880 Oh? The frea. Oh and I love him. I love 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:03.720 him so much. If you know I'm going to be 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.480 executed finally for all of my crimes, my last meal 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.720 might just be French fries. That's funny, Henry. 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:13.040 Henry and I had that penciple is a food. We 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.080 got into that last night walking home from the gym. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.000 For some reason. Henry hit me with if if you're 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.840 going to be executed, what would be last meal? And 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.840 of course I had to go with the caveat of well, 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.519 I think I'd be so remorseful over the horrifying crime 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.200 that committed. He said, you were unjustly accused, You're wrongfully accused. 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:34.920 Wow, that's a clever dodge by your boy. What a 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:39.200 fine lad he is. Anyway, did you settle on something? 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.240 Oh yeah, some sort of fried chicken, gravy mashed potato 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:43.960 sort of thing for me. 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.640 Wow, good call, very good call. Sorry about your unjust execution, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.240 but excellent choice that meal. So you may recall we 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:52.880 talked about this. 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.280 I'll just put the complete failure of the justicism aside 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.600 and enjoy this meal. And indeed the most urious an 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:05.480 irrevocable sanction a government can lay upon a citizen administered unjustly. 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:10.400 On the other hand, that meal was finger licking. So 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.120 anyway way, you win some, you lose some. 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.120 You may recall us discussing the wayward wisconstant judge who 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:22.000 aided and embedded the escape of a felon, Yes, a felon, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.760 I will explain in a moment or two. John Roberts 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.719 and Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, were discussing the case 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.840 on Fox News. And this is as good a play 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.599 by play as we've come across. So here it is. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.440 So let me read a little bit from the criminal 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:37.040 complaint here, and Judge Dugan says, despite having been advised 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.000 of the administrative warrant for the arrest of Flores Ruiz. 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.680 Judge Dugan then escorted Flores Ruiz and his counsel out 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.479 of the courtroom through the jury door, which leads to 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.200 a non public area of the courthouse. 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:49.719 A foot chase ensued. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.560 The agents pursued Flora's Ruiz for the entire link to 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.000 the courthouse, and ultimately apprehended him. According to this complaint, 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.599 Judge Jiggin was visibly angry that Ice was there to 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:03.040 arrest Flores Ruiz even tried to kick the deportation agents 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:03.920 out of the courthouse. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.960 Yeah, and to set the stage for you and Sandra 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.400 that this was truly horrific. This guy was in court 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:14.839 being prosecuted by a state prosecutor for domestic violence battery. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.960 He had beat up two people, a guy. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:18.240 And a girl. 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.240 Beat the guy, the hif guy thirty times, knocked him 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.919 to the ground, choked him, beat up a woman so 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.480 badly they both had to go to the hospital. And John, 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.200 you know, it's so rare for victims to want to cooperate. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.080 They wanted to cooperate. They were sitting in the courtroom 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.080 with the state prosecutor. The judge learns that Ice was 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.680 outside to get the guy because he had been deported 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.400 in twenty thirteen, came back in our country, commits these crimes. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.279 Charged with committing these crimes. Victims in court. Judge finds out. 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:50.200 She goes out in the hallway, screams at the immigration officers. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:54.520 She's furious, visibly shaken, upset, sends them off to talk 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.440 to the chief judge. She comes back in the courtroom. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.919 Here canna believe this, takes the defendant, the defense attorney 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.920 back in her chambers, takes him out of private exit, 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.040 and tells him to leave while a state prosecutor and 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.960 victims of domestic violence are sitting in the courtroom. 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.440 You know, we were talking last hour about how Trump 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.960 overreached on some of these kicking people out of the 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.919 country and you know, did more harm than good. The 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.440 Democrats are really overreaching, unsupporting this person. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.479 Oh yeah, and several others. Yeah, yeah, I know what 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.880 we'll do. We'll stand up for illegal alien gang member felons. 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:35.160 That's the ticket back to power. How about the judge 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:40.279 visibly shaken? Yeah, because I showed up. You're nut. You 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.560 should not be a judge. You have bad judgment. Yeah, 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.680 she's an ideological extremist. No, doubt Interestingly, I was reading 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.640 Andy McCarthy in the National Review. He's a legal expert 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.760 who we've talked to many times, but he says prosecuting 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.760 her could be tougher than you think for various constitutional reasons. 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.880 She has a pretty good defense. But from a strictly 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:05.200 politics running a society, how crazy are these people angle? 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.360 She is way overboard. 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.360 Here is a guy who is not only a gang member, 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:18.440 a woman beater, beat up BA Jesus out of a 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:24.240 fella over a stupid domestic concern. 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.480 He is an illegal immigrant who has and I don't 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:32.040 have the legal code in front of me, and it's 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:36.720 odd this article admits it. But he had the immediate 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:42.600 deportation without a hearing ruling on him having snuck in, 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.640 committed crimes, gotten booted out, snuck in again. He had 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.560 the if you see this guy put his ass on. 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.400 A plane and get rid of him, you don't have 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.640 to ask a judge ruling. And this guy's back in 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:59.880 court for victimizing more people, and this judge is so outraged, 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:05.320 maybe for reasons of state jurisdiction versus the federal government, 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.240 blah blah blah. I've been reading about it, but I've 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.360 filed a writ of circus Maximus Jack, and I don't 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.920 believe that defense is going to hold up. I'm still 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:15.640 waiting for the paperwork to come back. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:22.840 But the idea that you would usher this guy out 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:27.400 practically a fire escape. Not just tell the marshals, no, 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.960 we don't cooperate with the federal authorities. You can't use 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:35.640 the state's you know, mechanisms to do federal stuff. That's 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.040 not the way the constitution works. 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.800 No, she personally ushered this guy out, like into the 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.360 parking lot so we could make a run for it. 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:44.600 Holy cow. 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.880 Trumped arrangement syndrome is an actual thing on both sides, actually, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:50.199 but it's an actual thing. 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:54.720 It makes people crazy. Yeah yeah, and you know there's 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.320 a certain percentage of people who suffer from Trump I'm 0:08:58.360 --> 0:08:59.439 in love syndrome. 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.280 Yeah, that was applying the same term to both sides. 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:07.480 You're deranged, You're overlooking some obvious things either way, but 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:12.240 that's you're shaking. You're so upset that this guy's going 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:13.080 to get booted out. 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:18.319 Really yeah yeah, well, certainly this gal is going to 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.199 be booted out of the judge ship. There are a 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.840 couple of similar cases back in the day in various 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:28.000 very blue cities where judges did something similar. And again, 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:33.240 the proven the criminal charges is kind of fraught for 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.439 reasons I don't want to get into. It's a little complicated, 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:39.000 but they certainly ought not to be a judge. Absolutely 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:46.240 outrageous and idiotic. Yeah, that's probably enough Trump talk for now. 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.440 But the poll number. Can you imagine the poll numbers 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:56.680 if you're just a very simple and neutral description of 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.920 the facts of the case and then put it before Americans, 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.800 Oh please, it'd be ninety five to five. So that 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.360 five percent are probably trendy IRAGUA members. 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.400 So CNN's headline on one of the big stories of 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.360 the day, economic growth sharply declines. Is it sharply declined? 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:19.360 It's it's shrinking. Our GDP actually sharply shrunker point three percent. 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.080 I guess if we were cruising along at growth of whatever, 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.680 it was two and a half percent. That's a three 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.680 percent drop any good, almost three percent. 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.760 That's brutal. Ultra processed foods may be linked to early death. 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:37.160 Speaking of your dietary choices, I'm telling you I don't 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.760 go for food crazes, not pro not con I don't 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.120 have a pantry full of keen. 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.600 I don't meant anything smaller than my fist, or anything 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.840 that a caveman wouldn't beaten, or all kinds of different 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.079 rules I have because I follow every diet. 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.400 I don't really, but I'm telling you the the evidence 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.400 is really starting to pile up about ultra processed foods. 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:00.000 Stay with us. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.280 It's not hard to believe that if it's in a 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.679 sealed plastic sack and it could stay perfectly okay for 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.920 like nine years in that sack, it's not good for you. 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.040 It's not hard to worry. I pointed out the other day. 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:16.640 The health of this animal has changed completely, its body shape, 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.520 its function, everything. Well, it's eating something completely different than 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.480 it's eaten for its entire history on Earth. 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:27.880 No, that's not it, all right, Joe's become RFK Junior. Okay, 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:28.800 we got more on the ways. 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:33.000 Stay here. Every time we. 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.280 Hear a Hispanic name on TV, whether or not the 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.480 anchor is Hispanic, we suddenly have to shape shift into 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.400 a perfect Hispanic accent. 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.280 Police arrested twenty five year old elan Alain Sanchez. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.120 And I mean that, honestly. Why do we do that? 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:51.160 When I say Alejandra Myorcis. I just say Alejandra Myorcis, 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.240 but on CNN it's Alejandra Majorkis. 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:55.079 I'm Irish. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.120 When police arrests someone with an Irish name, I don't 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.959 say police just arrested twenty five year old Charlie mcglothin. 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:08.600 Stop that stop fabulous. That's pretty funny. I love that. 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.080 Yeah, it really stands out on NPR, does it over 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:19.720 the top? Everything was Wow, that's such a well do 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.600 it with Asian names? Come on now? 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:28.040 Wow? Right, Oh this is gonna be my let me 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:33.720 count one hundred and thirty third jihad this topic. Wow, 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:36.920 I'm really gonna have to use AI to schedule it? 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:42.120 Rantings and ravings? What did I come across with AI yesterday? 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:48.040 Something AI that was just phenomenal around video stuff Again, 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.560 that's where AI is clearly making a mark. I don't 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:55.480 know if it's going to take over the world in 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.440 a lot of the other ways that they've been claiming, 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.280 but man, the stuff it can do with video with 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.839 just you know, a couple of prompts is. 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:11.079 Stunning, mind blowing. My favorite amusing interesting piece of journalism 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:15.080 about AI next hour. There are various apps jack that 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:20.559 record everything you say for your own good what they 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.480 do with that information will jacque. Actually, it's it's thought. 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:29.559 Provoking records everything on my that my phone can hear. H. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.600 Well, it's a device you wear, but yeah, it works 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.640 through your phone. It works through your phone. Yeah essentially. Yeah. Wow, 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.280 So this is getting some mockery. Oh it was good. 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.040 There's an article in the New York Times, a hot 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:47.199 accessory at the intersection of faith and culture, seen on influencers, 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.439 pop stars and White House staff. Cross necklaces are popping 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.840 up everywhere, and it's getting mockery from the parts of 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.600 the country where people been wearing cross necklaces forever. Like 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.000 I think every girl I've ever dated in my life 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.520 life or across necklace. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:03.360 At some point. 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.920 So the idea that The New York Times is acting 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:10.160 like this is some interesting intersection of faith and culture 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.680 that has occurred is just an example of how out 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.960 of touch they are with the giant chunk of America that, 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:21.320 for instance, has voted for Trump twice. New York is 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.360 a fascinating place in so many ways. I am pro 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:31.400 New York, but New Yorker's self regard has annoyed me since. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:35.760 I was eleven years old, No kidding. The rest of 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.480 us are quite happy and fascinated by life and have 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:42.720 many opportunities for art, culture, the outdoors, et cetera. Whatever 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.080 we prefer, we're fine. We're not lesser being well. Right. 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.400 The thing that annoys me about New York and to 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.080 a certain extent, LA and lots of big cities really, 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.800 but in particular New York and LA is the people 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.120 who live there, their assumption that we all want to 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.080 be there. We just haven't figured out how to get 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.560 there yet trying, we just haven't been successful enough to 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:07.360 live there. And you know, they're and that's fine. I 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.000 love New York and Los Angeles. But everybody doesn't want 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.600 to live there. There are some people, I know, that's funny. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.360 I was listening to Jonah Goldberg the other day on 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.160 a podcast, and he grew up on the Upper West Side, 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.480 you know, right next to Central Park. That's the way 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.720 he grew up. And he was saying some things that 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:26.000 I and he was just so wrong about. I wish 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.240 I could have had a conversation, like a loving conversation 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.840 with him, saying, dude, you just and I don't blame 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.800 you for not knowing you grew up with a completely 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.440 different lifestyle than I did. But I know plenty of 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:39.000 people who might kill themselves if they had to live 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:43.240 in New York. They would contemplate suicide if they had 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:43.800 to live in New. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:50.160 York, right, right, I'll never forget. And it's universal. I mean, 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.960 we've talked about this, having moved around the country, Fairmount. 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.760 You live in Kansas, they talk about how stupid Missourians are, 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:59.880 sure whatever, and you're in France they say Belgians are 0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:03.040 more just everybody likes to you know, it's a human foible, 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.440 But I'll never forget. I was having a conversation with 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:07.680 a friend in the San Francisco Bay Area years ago, 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.280 and at the conclusion of a long conversation about his 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:17.640 brutal commute and his awful taxes and is incomprehensible mortgage 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.920 payments and the rest of it, a town outside the 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:26.080 Bay area came up, and he was like, oh, poor bastards, right, 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:30.640 if only they could live in the Bay Area. I'm like, wow, okay, 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.240 never mind, anyway. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.560 One thing about moving my whole life, and then as 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:40.800 an adult also is realizing that everybody loves where they're from, 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.400 and I wish just more people would understand you like 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:44.080 where you're from. 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.440 That's perfectly fine. You don't need to hate on other places. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.120 You like where you're from because it's what you're familiar with, 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:51.560 your people, your friends, your stuff. 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:52.800 That's perfectly all right. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.200 But you don't have to pretend that you have to 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.600 hate all the other places. But everybody does. 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.280 It's human nature, apparently, especially because we're all Americans. Except 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.880 for legal immigrants, you're not get out except for twenty 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.840 million illegal immigrants. I know what you're thinking. Did they 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:12.159 correctly solve the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby. Maybe you 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:15.520 weren't thinking that that case might get blown wide open. 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.919 State A lot of good stuff to come, I know. 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:19.879 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.959 The child at the museum scratching a fifty six million 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.920 dollar painting in Rotterdam. Museum workers having to remove the 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.960 famous painting by artist Mark Rothko. They say it was 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.320 scratched in several places. The museum believes it can be restored. 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:35.440 No word on whether the family will he be held 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.240 responsible in any sort of way. 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:41.280 How about if you're looking at a fifty six million 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.600 dollar painting, you don't let your kid go up and 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.600 have so much time alone with the painting that they 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.440 scratch it multiple times with their little fingers. 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.560 Yeah, yeah, I know. I looked at this painting, though, 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.280 and I like art. I'd buy art, not like expensive art, 0:17:56.320 --> 0:18:01.399 but and I like abstract art. I can't, for the 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:03.760 life of me, understand how this painting could be worth 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.400 tens of millions of dollars. It reminds me of some 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:13.320 of the what are the forkingness sakes, the electronic WHATSITs 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:17.560 that people bought for like a week and a half NFTs. Yeah, 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.760 reminds me of NFTs. The value of that painting is 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.960 that other people think it has value. There's nothing intrinsically 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:28.000 great about it. It's okay, I guess in general, I 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.280 said this after I got back from Washington, d C. 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:31.840 And going to a bunch of museums. 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:34.720 There's a lot of people take to their kids to 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.840 museums and places like that. The kids have zero interest 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.320 in being there zero. I guess you feel like you're 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:44.439 exposing them to culture or something, but they're paying no 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:46.679 attention and they have no interest. 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.960 So plenty of politics to talk about. I think a 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:52.719 lot of us are a little burned out after the 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:56.040 frenzy of Trump's first one hundred days blah blah blah, 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.480 never ending yelling at each other, so, at least for 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:04.280 one segment, some decidedly non political stuff. The evidence is 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:09.240 mounting both US researchers and European researchers saying that people 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:11.760 who eat lots of ultra processed foods may be at 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.440 greater risk of dyeing. A study in eight countries, including 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:17.240 the UK and the US, suggest. 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:20.000 Greater risk of dying. That's right up there on your 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:25.440 health concerns. Among things I'd like to avoid. Yeah, processed meats. 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:28.240 My wife and I talked about this. 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:35.520 She is like, by even American standards, a bacon enthusiast. Boy, 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.800 I am doing yeah, yeah, probably for it. 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.760 I probably have bacon half a day's Oh wow, it's 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:43.439 not good for you. 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.600 Why is it not good for you? It's processed, processed. 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:50.239 What does that mean? It's the salt and smoke and 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.919 all sorts of I don't remember what. Am I a chemist? 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.240 But yes, I consider it a process meat. 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.320 I get why I shouldn't eat cheese, its or all 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.320 kinds of things in plastic sacks, but bacon really? 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:05.160 So anyway? Processed meats, look it up, cookies, fizzy during 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:10.920 soft drinks, ice cream. Some breakfast cereals. Upfs, ultra processed 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.000 foods tend to contain more than five ingredients which are 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:18.119 not usually found in home cooking, such as additive sweeteners 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.240 and chemicals to improve the food's texture or appearance. 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.640 That's interesting some cereals, because like I eat grape nuts 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:29.000 and I think there's or cheerios. There's like two ingredients 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:35.280 on cheerios oats and I think that's it. Same with 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:37.720 grape nuts. So is that it's in a plastic sack. 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:39.400 There's something going on. 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:44.000 You know. The rule of thumb I always see cited 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.560 is look for ingredients you don't know what they are 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.760 or you don't have in your kitchen. That's that's a 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:53.240 pretty good standard. Now it's worth pointing out. Some experts 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:56.000 say it's not really clear why upfs are linked to 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:59.280 poor health. There's little evidence it's down to the processing itself. 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:02.760 Could be because the these foods contain high levels of fat, salt, 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:07.719 and sugar and are associated with poorer lifestyle choice. That's 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:09.480 what I was going to say. Whatever you call that. 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:14.240 Could it be people that eat the simplest to eat foods, 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:15.960 have all kinds of other things. 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:17.119 They most likely do. 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:21.240 You're more likely to not exercise, to smoke, to drink more, 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:22.760 to all kinds of things. 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:23.840 It's certainly possible. 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:28.159 It's not surprising that people like me, who you know, 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:32.320 go for the easy food in a plastic sack, have. 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:35.560 A bunch of other non healthy things going on. Yeah, 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:38.280 if you have a well designed study, you tease out 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:42.080 all of those other factors. But it's extremely difficult to do. 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:47.320 And you're talking about lifestyle, general lifestyle, overall, diet, exercise, 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:52.080 of health, wealth, you know all those habits. Anyway, but 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:59.719 they looked at people's diets and data on deaths from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Columbia, 0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:03.600 mech the UK, and the US. That's a pretty broad 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:08.120 swath or mortal enemy. Oh no, no, oh boy, don't 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:11.679 get me started anyway. Uh moving along, I thought this 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:19.040 was interesting. Speaking of diet, scientists have created three D 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:23.080 printed calamari with more protein than real squid. 0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:31.720 So many questions, Wow, no kidding, three D printed calamari, Yes, 0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:38.399 and using mung bean protein and what and microalgae? But 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:40.560 in what sense is it calamari couldn't you call it 0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:43.480 whatever you want? This is birthday cake, this is calamari, 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:45.720 this is steak, it's none of those things. 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:48.520 Well I was going to say, well, yeah, it was, 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:51.200 surely it would have the taste and texture of calamari. 0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.720 But then it says the uh blah blah blah, producing 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:58.240 calamari mimics that were softer, spring here and structurally similar 0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:01.600 to real calamari without relying on fished marine resources. 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:04.600 Three D printed calamari, I just I just don't see 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:05.240
