4
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 3: High school basketball coach in New York State was fired

5
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 3: Friday night for shocking behavior after his team lost a

6
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 3: state championship game, and NFHS Network livestream shows Northfield Girls

7
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 3: head coach Jim Zulo yanking the ponytail of one of

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 3: his players.

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: Zulo, who is eighty.

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: One years old, told our Albany station wtean the player

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: had cursed him after he told her to shake hands

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 3: with the other team. Police are now looking into whether

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 3: charges should be brought.

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 4: Not pro ponytail yanking, but that detail at the end

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 4: I was unaware of. So they lost the state championship

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 4: and one of his players wouldn't shake hands with the

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 4: other team. You don't get to yank her pullytail. But

18
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 4: that's not cool, No, no sportsmanship?

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah you have, if that's true, you have. Well she

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: cursed him when he said, hey, we got to shake

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: their hands.

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't curse the coach, especially

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: over that. Katie. You saw the video.

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 4: I saw the video. Oh you saw the video. I

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 4: knew somebody saw the video. How hard does he yank

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 4: the ponytail?

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: Hard? Hard enough to be wildly inappropriate? Yeah? Her whole

28
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: body jolted back when he did that.

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: So you have two people doing bad things. But as

30
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: a coach, a probably you know, half crazed old man

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: who's lost.

32
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: Control of himself. You need to be out of coaching.

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: Eighty two.

34
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: If indeed it's all true, the kid was way out

35
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: of line. Kids these days, modern children, blah blah blah,

36
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: very bad, and he needs to.

37
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: Be out of coaching. Both are true.

38
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: So it occurs to me, Michael, do we have like

39
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: a didn't we used to have a theme for like

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: a California update or something? I know we've got California's crumbling,

41
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: but didn't we have something like with the B Boys

42
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: or can't even remember? You just have metal guy in

43
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: California's crumbling. Ready, Well, we'll ease into it with this

44
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: clip of Bill Maher and Ezra Cline, the insufferably lefty

45
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: journalist behind vox.

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: Is that what he started up anyway? Yeah? But yeah,

47
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: he's a big columnist for the New York Times.

48
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: Now yeah, yeah, Okay, good for him, but that is

49
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: what he's doing these days.

50
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: I thought this was an interesting exchange California. Nicebeed rail.

51
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 5: It's a huge disaster, but nobody's ever done anything about it.

52
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 5: If you tried to build it again, it would go

53
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 5: the exact same way.

54
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 6: I think we first passed it in two thousand and eight.

55
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 6: I think they just voted about something about it again.

56
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 6: It's projective. Just give up just to just to just

57
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 6: to build I think from Bakersfield to Merced.

58
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: Who the hell wants to go from Bakersfield to me

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: when they couldn't do that, and.

60
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 5: The people building it were perfectly clear with me, Look,

61
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 5: this doesn't work if we don't do it La to

62
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 5: San Francisco, and they don't have the money to do

63
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 5: La de San Francisco, and they don't have the regulatory

64
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 5: structure to do it. They have been clearing They started

65
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: clearing the rail track through environmental review. The whole point

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 5: of high speed rails it's good for the environment, right.

67
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 5: They started clearing it through environmental review in twenty twelve.

68
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 5: By the end of twenty twenty four, it was almost done.

69
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 5: Their reviews were almost done. And the thing that bothers

70
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 5: me about it, and we didn't get high speed rail

71
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 5: is they didn't change it right, Okay, huge failure. Learn something,

72
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 5: make it so it won't happen again.

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: Wow.

74
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: When Ezra Kleine is saying this has gotten off the rails,

75
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: for your pardon expression, it is really off the rails.

76
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: There isn't a sane defense for it. I have not heard,

77
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: and I'm racking my memory because I want to be

78
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: I want to be accurate about this. I don't think

79
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: I have heard a single person advocating for the so

80
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: called high speed rail project who is not personally profiting

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: from it for a very very long time.

82
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 4: Well, I would like to say somebody mark this down

83
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: years from now, when it's still being built and billions

84
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 4: of dollars a taxpayer dollars are still being poured into it.

85
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 4: That we played this clip today where Bill mahern as recline,

86
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: we're mocking the idea that it continues. I'd be shocked

87
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 4: if two years from now, for instance, they're still not

88
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 4: pouring billions of dollars into it.

89
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. I'll give you a glimpse into

90
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: my psyche right now, not the scary part.

91
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.

92
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: The fairly normal part. And I'm talking to the good

93
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: folks now, I am. I'm feeling like it's almost silly

94
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: to be indicting the high speed rail because it's a

95
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: one inch pot. I mean, it's it doesn't need to

96
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: be indicted anymore. It is universally recognized as a boondoggle,

97
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: a failure, a rip off.

98
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: And a fraud. And it continues. See that's the weird

99
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: judgema position. It's also continuing to squander billions of dollars.

100
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: You at a very high rate of expenditure.

101
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 4: I would like to know where it ranks on a daily, monthly,

102
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 4: yearly basis on terms of things we spend money on

103
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 4: in the state.

104
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: It'd be pretty eye up there. It's gotta be right,

105
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: oh yeah yeah. And I said billions, it's tens of

106
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. It's just it shocks the conscience.

107
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: Anyway, there's no point in belaboring it.

108
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: Everybody listening agrees, we agree, as re client agrees, and

109
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: yet it continues. It's a good point, metal guy and

110
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: well said, So I got a little excited. I saw

111
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: this on the Twitter that there is now forty eight

112
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: percent of the California electorate open to a Republican governor

113
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six forty eight percent. But I mean

114
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: you would need every single one of those voters, you know,

115
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: if turnout is more or less normal, and you would

116
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: still lose because you only have forty eight percent that's

117
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: even open to Republicans. So I have put my excitement

118
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: back on the shelf.

119
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's your excitement should be on the shelf, and

120
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 4: like can be in front of the container of flour,

121
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: because it's going to be a while before we needed

122
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: your optimism again.

123
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean, because like way up high and back, like

124
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: that giant stock pot you only use to build to

125
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: make like chili for the opening.

126
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: Day of the football season once a year.

127
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: Ye, store it back there, your optimism, right, the little

128
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 4: metal things for punching out Christmas cookies you can put

129
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 4: back with those.

130
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 2: That's going to be a while before you need it.

131
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: Because if the generic candidate doesn't get to fifty percent,

132
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: because the generic candidate always does better than a real candidate,

133
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 4: because real candidates have flaws and personalities. If you're not

134
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 4: even out into a generic in your mind perfect situation.

135
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: Up to fifty percent, there's no chance.

136
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: Right, So I thought this was so interesting on a

137
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: similar theme, and who am I quoting here?

138
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: Credit where it's to?

139
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: Oh it's Wall Street Journal, Tale of two jobs and

140
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Tale of two states on job creation. Democrats

141
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: are slowly waking up to the fact that migration from

142
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: blue to red states could become a political problem for

143
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: winning the House of Representatives, which I thought was very

144
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: interesting because people are self segregating seems so negative. Many

145
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: people who can and that's an important caveat, are going

146
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: places they feel more welcomed and happy in living under

147
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: governance that they like. And it's going to get worse.

148
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: Judging about the Labor Department's latest state jobs report, excuse me,

149
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: which shows that California lost jobs in nearly every industry

150
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: in the year.

151
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: Before Trump took office.

152
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: The Bureau of Labor Statistics last week released annual revised

153
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: jobs numbers for states based on more complete data.

154
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: Did you hear about this at all?

155
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 6: No?

156
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: No, I didn't either anyway.

157
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: California gained a net twenty two four hundred jobs from

158
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: January twenty four to January twenty five. All of the

159
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: net new jobs were in government wow and healthcare, social assistance,

160
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: and private often higher education. Which relied to a large

161
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: extent on government funding, and there were big losses in construction, manufacturing,

162
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: information finance, professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, retail.

163
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: The growth was government and those other areas that I

164
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: was talking about. Private businesses shed jobs in the year,

165
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: including almost twenty nine thousand lesson construction UH thirty three

166
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: four fewer in manufacturing, and go on on tens of

167
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: thousands in various industries. Some job results are results of

168
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: small businesses closing because of high taxes and other costs.

169
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: These include California's sixteen to fifty an hour minimum wage

170
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: twenty dollars for some freaking reason. For fast food restaurants, well,

171
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: that's because the SEIU wanted to unionize them and the

172
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: state's private Attorneys General Act. Let's try lawyers extort small

173
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: businesses by filing dubious lawsuits for alleged labor violations. It's

174
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: just like the wheelchair Nazis thing, but it's labor violation Nazis.

175
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: Most businesses pay off the attorneys in settlements because defending

176
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: against the lawsuits, frivolous though they may be, would cost

177
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: even more. Then you've got large companies relocating workers to

178
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: lower and tax lower tax and cost states. Texas during

179
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: the same period added one hundred and eighty eight thousand

180
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: in a year, with gains spanning all industries, including twenty

181
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: thousand more in construction wow, forty two hundred more in manufacturing, information,

182
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: nineteen thousand more in finance, professional business services another twenty thousand,

183
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: leisure and hospitality eleven three, retail fourteen thousand.

184
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: So not Loan's government and healthcare.

185
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: No, the lone star state only added about a quarter

186
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: as many jobs in healthcare, social assistance, and private education

187
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: as California. Texas spent about fifty billion dollars on health

188
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: and human services compared to California's two hundred and twenty eight.

189
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 4: Oh my god, those statistics are unbelievable, Katie.

190
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: Can you come up with the populations of California and Texas?

191
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean, because Texas has less population, but that is

192
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: almost it's just over a fifth.

193
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 4: To guess, I'm gonna guess California is what thirty four

194
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 4: to go with? I think it's close to forty Okay.

195
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: But it's your guest. Look at me hoarding in on

196
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: your guests. What an idiot? Sorry? And then Texas, I'm

197
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: going with twenty seven. Okay, we thirty nine, and I

198
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 2: like your twenty seven. Okay, thirty nine point four. Okay,

199
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 2: you're definitely run in California. So we got forty million

200
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 2: people in California, holy cow, and Texas thirty one point two.

201
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, so three quarters as many people, roughly,

202
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: and again, Texas spent fifty billion dollars on health and

203
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: human services, California two hundred and twenty eight billion dollars.

204
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 4: Well, on the other numbers, though, jobs added, it works

205
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 4: in reverse. It's amazing that Texas, with three quarters of

206
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 4: the population, added that many more jobs than California did.

207
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed.

208
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: And and they mentioned in the Wall Street Journal a

209
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: point that I've been trying to hammer home for years.

210
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: But now let's do Rhode Island in Connecticut. Ah, that'll

211
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: be fun.

212
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: And this is wasted breath, and I shouldn't bother. But

213
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: California's economy, well, this is one preliminary point than to

214
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: the thing I ammer all the time. California's economy is

215
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: also becoming more dependent on government spending, including federal funds,

216
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: which total one hundred and sixty two billion dollars last year,

217
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: stock market corrections slow down federal funding could open big

218
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: gaping budget deficits that might force cuts and government spending layoffs.

219
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: And certainly the coming pension crisis will arrive all the sooner.

220
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 4: Right, So it's a perpetual motion machine if it weren't

221
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 4: for one thing, to where all the growth is in

222
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 4: government and government expenditures, and you just keep going. The

223
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 4: problem is the classic problem always with socialism. Pretty soon

224
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 4: you run out of other people's money. The people that

225
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 4: are paying for this are realizing I'm not paying for

226
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 4: this perpetual motion machine anymore.

227
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: I'm moving somewhere else.

228
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: And then here's the same old song you hear from me,

229
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: and I'll keep it brief. Wall Street Journal Editorial Board

230
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: points out that one problem for Democrats and Sacramento is

231
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: that the progressive tax regime, the effective top marginal rate

232
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: of fourteen and a half percent, has made the state

233
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: budget increasingly dependent on high earners, whose incomes are vulable volatile. Rather,

234
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: the top one percent of earners contribute about half of

235
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: the state's income tax revenue. Wow, And not only is

236
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: it incredibly volatile, so you can't count on studying numbers

237
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: for budgeting purposes. But as I've said many times, if

238
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: you narrow the tax base that much, those who pay

239
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: for the waste will never have enough votes to end

240
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: the graft and waste. And that is what Gavin Newsom

241
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: and the Democrats and the unions and the trial lawyers

242
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: are counting on. And it's a great scam. It's very successful.

243
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: I congratulate them on their evil and their cleverness.

244
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 4: Well, and every time that one percent that's paying half

245
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 4: decides to get a new zip code that's in a

246
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 4: different state, that's a huge blow.

247
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 2: We got a lot more on the waist here, car heyey.

248
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 4: Starting with on March twenty ninth, It's my birthday and

249
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 4: all I want to see happen on my birthday is

250
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 4: for ELI to.

251
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: Be taken down.

252
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 4: Yet that's a representative Jasmine Crockett. Apparently there's an attempt

253
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 4: to organize some sort of Tesla boycott for Fry.

254
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: What would that be.

255
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you don't buy a car very often, so

256
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: I've boycotted every car maker there is for the past.

257
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: Three years for instance.

258
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I'm sure they'll have exciting rallies where they

259
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: chant stuff and wave placards or something.

260
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: Wow.

261
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 4: I might be getting a different tesla. It'd be awesome

262
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: if it happened to coincide with that day. I would

263
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 4: love to drive it off the lot and day everybody's protesting.

264
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 4: I saw an op ed in a New York Times,

265
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 4: some ridiculous thing about, uh is it okay to buy

266
00:14:59,680 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 4: a test?

267
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 7: Now?

268
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: You know that sort of thing? Oh lord, that's whatever.

269
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: Anyway, people losing all the elections, you're noxious.

270
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: Attorney General BONDI said this about Crockett.

271
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 8: This is domestic terrorism and Maria. Now you have this

272
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 8: congresswoman Crockett who is calling for attacks on Elon Musk

273
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 8: on her birthday. Let's take him out on my birthday,

274
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 8: she says. Yet she turns and says, oh, I'm not

275
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 8: calling for violence. Well, she is an elected public official,

276
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 8: and so she needs to tread very carefully because nothing

277
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 8: will happen to Elon Musk.

278
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: Rocket it's almost an abbreviation for kroc oh it is.

279
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 4: I want to get this on. It's kind of funny.

280
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 4: This is from Donald Trump's Twitter feed. Came out today.

281
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 4: Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves. I've

282
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 4: never had a painting on myself, but the one in

283
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: Colorado in the state Capitol, put up by the governor

284
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 4: along with all the other presidents, was purposefully distorted to

285
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: a level that even I perhaps have never seen before.

286
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 4: The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful,

287
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 4: but the one on me is truly the worst. She

288
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 4: must have lost her talent as she got older. In

289
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 4: any event, I would much prefer not having a picture

290
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 4: than having this one.

291
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: Now, I haven't seen any of you.

292
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking at it and it's it's not uh,

293
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 4: it's just not It just doesn't look like him. I mean,

294
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: it's bad from the standpoint of it. Just he just

295
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: it looks like a heavier, younger hymn. It's not a

296
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 4: very good likeness.

297
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,239
Speaker 2: So it's not like cartoonishly, you know, insulting.

298
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 4: No, And he talked about how everybody's so unhappy with

299
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 4: it and they need to take of what a funny

300
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 4: thing with everything he's got going on domestically and around

301
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 4: the world, to put out a really long statement about

302
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 4: how he's really unhappy with the painting they have of

303
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 4: him in the.

304
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: Colorado State House.

305
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: He's the anti Churchill. He stops to throw rock exit

306
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: every dog that barks.

307
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: The terriphrase, great.

308
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: Brit Yeah, he's actually so, where where are we on

309
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: Venezuela and gang members getting heaved out of the country.

310
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: Tom Holman, he's going wild and we'll give you an

311
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: update on all of that stuff coming up in second stay.

312
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 4: With us Armstrong and Getty.

313
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 7: I don't care what that judges. Thank As far as

314
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 7: this case, we're going to continue to arrest public safety

315
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 7: threats and national security threats. We're going to continue to

316
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 7: deportum for the United States. As far as Evans and

317
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 7: one is that flight, every single one, according to the

318
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 7: information given me from the field, are members of the TDA,

319
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 7: and tda's been determined to be terrorist organizations. They are

320
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 7: not classified at terrorts. So that plane removed two hundred

321
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 7: and forty terrafts from the United States.

322
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 4: That's Tom Holman, who's been put in charge of kicking

323
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 4: out violent gang members or really anybody who's here illegally.

324
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 4: Our officials show stance seems to have landed on. Politically,

325
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 4: this is a win booting people out left and right.

326
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: Letter what they try to tell you on the news. Yeah,

327
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: politically it is a win.

328
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 4: Legally, constitutionally, we got to make sure there's due process

329
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 4: and all that sort of stuff, because that's.

330
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 2: What we do. Yeah, I would agree.

331
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: I think it is not at all implausible the Trump

332
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: administration's leaning on the Alien Enemies Act, which we can.

333
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: Get into in a moment or two. But yeah, we agree.

334
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: Look, if anything happens without due process, it starts to

335
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: make me nervous because you know, if by some horror

336
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: of happenstance, a Jdve, a JB. Pritzker of Illinois, or

337
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: a Gavin Newsom became president and they decided to unleash

338
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: whatever evil schemes they had, you know, I want due

339
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: process to stand in the way of them, you know,

340
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: screwing over innocent Americans. But anyway, we'll talk a little

341
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: bit more about the Alien Enemies Act.

342
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: If for no other reason, then it's got a great name.

343
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 4: In a moment, Well, there was a story floating around

344
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 4: social media over the weekend, and I think the New

345
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 4: York Times had it actually of some dude that was

346
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 4: absolutely not a gang member and got caught up in

347
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 4: this and was there being treated horribly back in his

348
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 4: home country and sought asylum and blah blah blah. I

349
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 4: didn't drill down on that, but I'm sure that will

350
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 4: work its way through the court system.

351
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, to whatever extent we can avoid that sort of thing.

352
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: I mean, who could be against that unless it paralyzes

353
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: the actual removal of all of the nasty, murderous, rapey

354
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: gang members.

355
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: Well that's the goal.

356
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: Certainly from some people, it's like it's like, you know,

357
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 4: the lawsuits over sodium pentathol, whatever it is you give

358
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: to execute people, your ultimate goal was to not have

359
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 4: any executions. This is just a particular individual way to

360
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 4: stop it legally. And I have a concern that that's

361
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 4: what the goal is for a lot of people.

362
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 2: Oh, I think you're right.

363
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I heard a lot of this alleged gang

364
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: member was a young father. He was liked by his neighbors,

365
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: and he blah blah blah.

366
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: Look if he was in trendy arragua, I don't care.

367
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: If he was the loving father of five in a

368
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 1: local volunteer softball coach, it doesn't matter.

369
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: It's immaterial.

370
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 4: So you know what I want to get him in,

371
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 4: Paul lang Wood show that even if you weren't in

372
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 4: a gang, but if you were here illegally, people want

373
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 4: you gone.

374
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: I don't rely on pulling I rely on what's right,

375
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 2: he says, without a hint.

376
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: Of self righteousness. I thought it was so interesting. A

377
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: couple of things about the Alien Enemies Act. First of all,

378
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: the news media is making a big deal about Trump

379
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: relying on a law from seventeen ninety eight. Oh, the

380
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: stupid ancient law and it's unconstitutional.

381
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 2: Well that was seventeen eighty nine. Idiots.

382
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: Are you in favor of like super old established presidents

383
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: or are you not?

384
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: You idiots?

385
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: But again, I don't think they're reading of the laws

386
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: at all implausible. Some folks have made a big deal

387
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: of fact that we haven't declared a war, and the

388
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: Act is for a state of war.

389
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: Let me read it to you.

390
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: Whenever there is a declared war between the United States

391
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: and any foreign nation or government, say there you have it.

392
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: Well, wait a minute, there's more comma.

393
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: Or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or

394
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: threatened against the territory of the United States by any

395
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: foreign nation or government. All natives, citizens, denizens I like

396
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: the word denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or

397
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: government who shall be within the United States not actually naturalized,

398
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and booted

399
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: the hell out, Well, it says, and removed as alien enemies.

400
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: So what is a predatory incursion? When Maduro of Venezuelan

401
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: knows full well who he's exporting, I'm going to.

402
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 4: Start calling my son at Denis and I usually go

403
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 4: with hoodlum or derelict. You wear those pants, you look

404
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 4: like a derelict, I'll say, Dennison. Well, now that just

405
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 4: means like person from anyway?

406
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: Uh does? Oh? So what is a predatory incursion?

407
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: I'm fine with letting the courts decide, or Congress can

408
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: step and say, hey, we got to womend the Act

409
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: and then now we here's some more specific wording.

410
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 2: That's fine. That's the way the legal system is supposed

411
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 2: to work. And if there's some.

412
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: Guy who's not actually a gang memory he's just a

413
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: humble Venezuelan who hates freaking communism and wanted to make

414
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: a start in the US, I don't like him being

415
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: booted out without due process. But again, there are going

416
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: to be mistakes made as you do the right thing.

417
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: There have been loads of mistakes and dead people when

418
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: we're doing the wrong thing. So hey, it's not a

419
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: good thing that maybe an innocent gets caught up in this,

420
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: and I know you yelling he's an illegal, boot him out.

421
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, How do you make an ama? You

422
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: gotta break some way boats. That's a good point. But anyway,

423
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 2: we got to work our way through this.

424
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: And honestly, you know, a single circuit court judge making

425
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: a stupid decision, I'm not threatened by that because we

426
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: have an appeal spot process and I don't know if

427
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: you've heard, We've got a really good Supreme Court sitting

428
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: right now. So anyway, if you've heard that in all

429
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: those are crazy, it's outrageous, it's illegal.

430
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 2: No, it ain't. Oh, that's right.

431
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to get to Tom Holman addressing the statement

432
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: by the media and people on the left. It a

433
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: lot of these people don't have criminal convictions. They're not

434
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: convicted of being gang members. How dare you clip fifty four?

435
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 7: Most terrors we arrest are identified yos camera are later

436
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 7: identified through a Title three investigation or through an undercover operation.

437
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 7: They're not in any terror screen in basket in screening database.

438
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 7: We know that many gamers don't have a criminal history.

439
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 7: We have a kind of social media. We have a

440
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 7: kind of surveillance technique. We had to count on Swarren

441
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 7: statements from other game memory, count on you know, wire

442
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 7: taps and title threes. Everything involved with the criminal investigations

443
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 7: come into play.

444
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: Putting aside the fact that Tom Homan sounds like a

445
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: punch drunk prize fighter and is difficult to understand at times,

446
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: he is absolutely crazy, knowledgeable and smart. It's funny, I

447
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: don't know what you need. Some speech shift there.

448
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 4: Is somebody has a little moush mouth like he's just

449
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 4: a few too many drinks, says, you know what, you

450
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 4: gotta do this, you gotta blue them.

451
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: But his point is no, you can figure out who's

452
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: a gang member without having them convicted. And they're foreign,

453
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: they're illegal, they're in the country. They're nasty. We're getting

454
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: rid of them.

455
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 4: No polls really well too. Again, politically, people don't like

456
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 4: illegals in the country.

457
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: If I'm asked to follow the laws and regulations of

458
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: the United States, I am just fine with everybody else

459
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: doing the same thing.

460
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 2: It's as simple as that they make me follow the rules.

461
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: Are they threatened me with fines and jail and all

462
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: sorts of other things, or loss of reputation. My boss

463
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: will get rid of me if I bring disrepute upon

464
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: the organization. And yet those people are allowed to be

465
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: completely lawless. People don't like that.

466
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: We will finish Strong next Armstrong.

467
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 6: I see confession signs are back in the news. John

468
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 6: Vetterman had one at home. I way Versachi Alec Baldwin.

469
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 6: I killed Jane Hackman.

470
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 2: Oh that's you gotta be on the edge. I'm sorry,

471
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 2: one of.

472
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 6: The rescued astronauts.

473
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: This sucks. I wish I was back in space.

474
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 6: Aaron when a random kid approcused me, I just assume

475
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 6: he's mine.

476
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with the concept of confession signs.

477
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: I'm not either, but I went with it anyway.

478
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 4: I don't know how many of you know who Adam

479
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 4: Frank is. If you ever listened to him or read

480
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 4: any of his books, He's apparently pretty well known.

481
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,239
Speaker 2: I don't think i'd ever heard of him before. He's

482
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: an American physicist.

483
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 4: Astronomer, and writer, written several books. And I took in

484
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 4: a long podcast he was on Friedman's Lex Friedman's podcast here.

485
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 4: They talked for like three and a half hours. It's

486
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 4: amazing that those.

487
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 2: Podcasts do as well as they do.

488
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 4: But anyway, there's some really interesting stuff on there that

489
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 4: I had never heard or thought about before. Particularly, they

490
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 4: got into the conversation of whether or not there is

491
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 4: any other life anywhere in the universe, which is one

492
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 4: of my favorite.

493
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 2: Topics, and.

494
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 4: He made the point, which is obviously true, but I've

495
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 4: never really thought of it, that if they ever discover

496
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 4: life anywhere or that it had existed, even if it

497
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 4: doesn't exist now, then it changes. It goes from we

498
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 4: might be the only life that is exepted in the universe.

499
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: Two, it's all over the place.

500
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 4: I mean, because just finding it anywhere else would lead

501
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 4: you to believe that, Okay, it can happen more than once.

502
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: This is the one off. Okay, now we're off to

503
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: the raisins. It's all over the universe.

504
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: And what does that mean, given them many billions of

505
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: possibilities where it could be sure?

506
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, first of all, he had this info. I didn't

507
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 2: know that. The recent info is this. I don't know

508
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 2: how many people know this.

509
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 4: There are at least as many stars in the universe

510
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 4: as there are grains of sand on planet Earth. They

511
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 4: use that as a rough number, just to give you

512
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 4: an idea of how many stars are.

513
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: Every star has at least one planet, so there's like

514
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: a thousand stars.

515
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: There are.

516
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 4: The numbers are amazing, But every one of those grains

517
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 4: of sand stars out there has at least one planet.

518
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 4: One out of five of them are in the habitable

519
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 4: zone at least the right distance from the star that

520
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 4: we believe life could occur. So the numbers on that

521
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 4: is there have been slash are ten billion trillion planets

522
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 4: that meet the criteria for life. Ten billion trillion, obviously's

523
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 4: an unimaginable number, and his argument.

524
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: Was, you have to believe.

525
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 4: It's either more likely than one in ten billion trillion

526
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 4: or less likely than one in ten billion trillion that

527
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 4: life could exist somewhere. And as long as you think

528
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 4: it's more likely than one in ten billion trillion, then.

529
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 2: There's life out there somewhere. Yeah, which is an interesting

530
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 2: mathematical way to look at it.

531
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: Hasn't the idea that no, no Earth is completely unique

532
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: been kind of hit in science.

533
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 4: Circles for a little while. Now lately, I feel like

534
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 4: there's a lot more scientists. I think this is why

535
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 4: he was out talking about this lately. I feel like

536
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 4: there's a lot more scientists thinking I don't think there's

537
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 4: any more life out there. And then there's the Fermi paradox,

538
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 4: which we talked about a couple of weeks ago, as

539
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 4: a famous scientists who once said, then where is everybody?

540
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 4: The idea if there was teeming life out there, have

541
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 4: we not heard from anybody, seen one bit of information

542
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 4: about it?

543
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: Ever?

544
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 4: Just seems odd, doesn't it now? This guy that I

545
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 4: was listening to, he said, the amount of the universe

546
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 4: that we have explored or reached out to, or could

547
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 4: have heard from is the equivalent of a bathtub full

548
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 4: of water out of the entire ocean on Earth.

549
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: So it's a very tidy amount that we've explored, right.

550
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: And then you have the problem of across time. I mean,

551
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: you had an intelligent civilization exist for one hundred million years,

552
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: but that was three hundred million years ago.

553
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 4: Right. I'm glad you brought that up, because that is

554
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 4: one of it, because one of the things, because it

555
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 4: could be that. And he made the point that you

556
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 4: could have had a civilization as sophisticated as ours.

557
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: On this planet Earth.

558
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 4: That lasted ten thousand years, but if it had been

559
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 4: one hundred million years ago, there'd be no sign of

560
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 4: it whatsoever. I mean because just the way things deteriorate,

561
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 4: there'd be no way of knowing if we had one

562
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 4: of those a ten thousand years civilization scic flying around

563
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 4: living their life, doing their things, whatever reason, destroyed itself,

564
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 4: that we'd have no way of knowing on our own planet.

565
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: So how the hell are you ever going to know

566
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: on some other planet? So this might be like the

567
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: second time we've developed the Internet and AI to destroy ourselves,

568
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: or the fifth or of what, who knows what.

569
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: But according to that guy, you're never going to see

570
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: the statue of liberty poking out of those sand that

571
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: realized it's.

572
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 4: The planet of the apes right the time aspect is

573
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 4: the crazy one. That's where it gets really weird because

574
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 4: human beings, we've had sophisticated civilization for a blink of

575
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 4: an eye, and so that that's when it gets weird,

576
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 4: because you look at some planet that's been there for

577
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 4: four billion years and at any point it could.

578
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: Have had a civilization and then it disappeared. How would

579
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: you ever know? Anyway brought me to this and I'm

580
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: gonna check this out.

581
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 4: Are you familiar with the TV series The Expanse I

582
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 4: haven't seen it him not, No, it's one of those

583
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 4: streaming series.

584
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: But the the idea of it is like Elon wants

585
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: to do.

586
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 4: Colonizing Mars, but but it colonizes a whole bunch of

587
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 4: different planets and it follows the how things would play

588
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 4: out from there, and it sounds pretty interesting, kind of

589
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 4: like politically human nature wise, where you'd have I mean,

590
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 4: like he asked the question, if Mars gets colonized, at

591
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 4: what point would the people of Mars say, Hey, you

592
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 4: don't get to tell us what to do anymore.

593
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: We're going to do our own thing. No colony would

594
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 2: ever do that.

595
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, none of your business how we decide to

596
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 4: live here, for instance.

597
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, we're kind of full up, so

598
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: stop sending rockets here because we'll shoot them down.

599
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: We're not accepting anymore. Yeah, at what point does that happen?

600
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 4: And then if you have multiple planets like I guess

601
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 4: this TV show is about, then you get into you

602
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 4: know that.

603
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 2: Planet over there has got more nits which we need.

604
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 4: How about we go take it. I think we can

605
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 4: take it and they can't stop us. Of course, me

606
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 4: sitting on a whole lot better Nicerisium. I'm gonna make

607
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 4: an alliance with that planet over there.

608
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: I say, you come over here, We're gonna whoop your ass. Yeah.

609
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 4: Obviously there's no reason to think human nature wouldn't just

610
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 4: expand to the very same situation.

611
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 2: Of course it would. Yeah, of course it wouldn't.

612
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: Strong, Strong, you're ready, And that's when I put on

613
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: a tri cornered and we have a demonstration where we

614
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: throw all the night Jurissium in the bay to make

615
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: the point right. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

616
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: So many people who think so little time. Wi's that's

617
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: a little premature. Let's get a final thought from everybody

618
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: on the team to wrap up the day. There is

619
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: Michaelangelowell lead us off there.

620
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 2: Happy birthday, Katie.

621
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 4: It is Katie's birthday, so on that day birthday, yes,

622
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 4: twenty nine forever.

623
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I love you for that.

624
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: Thank you.

625
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 2: Oh six, watching you grow Katie, very very you're thirty six.

626
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: I am god you do Wow, guys, thank you Katie.

627
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: A final thought on this year natal day. That's that's it.

628
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm I'm grateful to still be here. Yeah, amen to that. Jack.

629
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 4: A final thought you'd like to share like, for instance,

630
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 4: they colonize Mars. You get a population going there and

631
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 4: they decide, you know, we want to be a patriarchy

632
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 4: that only allows this religion. What are you gonna stop

633
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 4: them because we don't think that's right?

634
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: Or I mean, now's that all gonna work out?

635
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna send a space army up there to whoop

636
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 1: them back in a shade?

637
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 7: Right?

638
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 4: No?

639
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: My final thought is NCAA basketball tournament related in that

640
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: I was rooting for my alma water, the University of Illinois,

641
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: and they lost in a sloppy game against Kentucky. But

642
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of guys I'd never heard of before

643
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: in my life. They all transferred in through the transfer portal.

644
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: They'll all be gone probably next season. It'll be a

645
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: new collection of guys wearing the orange and blue. And

646
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: I'll probably still root for him. But how long will

647
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: the love affair with college sports last? Now that it's

648
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: completely different?

649
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 4: I wonder Armstrong and Getty rack I about other grueling

650
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 4: four hour workday.

651
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: Go to Armstrong Engeddy dot com. Many pleasures, Await see

Speaker 2: ponsis game of all time.

655
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 5: It's a huge disaster, but nobody's ever done anything about him.

656
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: No, no, that's not what I was told. And we

657
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 2: do not have to live like this. In fact, we

658
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 2: cannot live like this. I'm gonna call my lawyer.

659
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: Garnjee Dundeea's screaming stop it.

660
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 4: It is over.

661
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 2: It is over, and when it's over, it is over.

662

Speaker 2: It is over. Bye Bye Armstrong and getdy
