WEBVTT - The Extent To Which We're Bubbled 0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:06.760 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:11.680 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong. 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:21.640 And Getty and now He arms Strong and Yeddy. 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.960 The trials centered around a track meet in a Dallas 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:30.600 suburb last year, when Anthony walked under a tent belonging 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.880 to Metcalf's team. After Anthony was repeatedly asked to leave 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:37.120 police a Metcalf pushed him, and then Anthony pulled out 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:40.159 a knife, stabbing him in the chest. Metcalf died in 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.400 the arms of his twin brother. Defense attorneys argued Anthony 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:47.040 acted in self defense, but prosecutors called it murder, plane 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.920 and simple, saying you can meet a shove with a shove, 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.320 but you don't get to meet a shove with a stab. 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:56.920 Well, prosecutors and jurors yesterday said it was murder, plane 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:57.440 and simple. 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:03.360 Yeah, incredibly unfortunate trial, seven long, three hours of deliberation. Murder, 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:05.199 you know, clearly murder. 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.880 So you go to a track meet and you're gonna 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:14.600 go into the other team's tent to like try to 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.760 be uh intimidating or whatever. You bring a knife with you, 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.120 my knife with the out of track meet his inte. 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.960 Well, yeah, the first part, maybe he was just looking 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:27.960 for a place to sit and decided I'm gonna sit 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.880 under this team's tent and they asked him to leave. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.200 But yeah, he had a deadly weapon with him at 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.800 a track meet, and then as soon as he was 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.080 asked to leave, he said, you touch me, you're gonna 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.080 find out, and he reached into his bag, which meant 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.319 that was like his go too when guys were saying, 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.040 you gotta get out of here. And then finally the 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.160 guy shoved him and he did find out with a 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:52.400 stab wound to the heart. 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:53.800 And the idea that that. 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.800 Was legitimate self defense is just it's it's self evidently ridiculous. Wow, 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.280 it was very sad because this is a teenage Drew 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.400 who I have a feeling thought he was being a 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.320 tough guy, thought he was going to be a gangster 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.680 or whatever, and by god, his life is over. 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.320 Well, certainly the victim's life is over, so as the 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:17.440 kid that got stabbed uh to death. We haven't mentioned 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.000 that there's a race issue to this, a racial component, 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.800 which makes the whole thing as jazzy as it got. 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.720 You got a black kid and a white kid, and 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:33.079 immediately the families turned it racial. A lot of immediate 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.600 turned it racial, and there are family and the lawyers 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.960 raised a tremendous amount of money by making it racialized. 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:46.480 Carmelo Anthony's mom shouts racist as riles up crowd as 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:55.040 she leaves the court after the verdict. Jasmine Crockett, as 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.840 we mentioned last hour, black congress person from Texas, suggests 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.440 she would have stabbed Austin Metcalf in stunning defense of 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:06.560 Carmelo Anthony. I would have also stabbed him because he 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.320 said get out, you didn't and then shoved you. 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.760 She's a racist and a monstrous human being somebody to death. 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:19.160 There were the yeah, yeah, absolutely ugly. So it was 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.720 so discouraging watching the news last night. I was you 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:26.880 had the reaction outside the courthouse, rival groups screaming at 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:31.880 each other's faces. Most, if not all, of the conviction 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.920 was righteous folks being white, and all the people angry 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:36.520 about the conviction were black. 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.720 Twenty three Michael, I'm sick. 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:40.280 I'm sick. 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.800 As a jury considered punishment for nineteen year old Carmelo Anthony, 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.600 who claimed he killed seventeen year old Austin Metcalf in 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.520 self defense emotions flared on the courthouse steps. 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.960 I just feel like there was so much that wasn't 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:53.400 taken into a consideration. 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.880 It was so fast a sad outcome. 0:03:55.960 --> 0:04:00.440 But Justice Weser Anthony is black, Metcalf was white. Last 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.520 night handed Carmelo Anthony a thirty five year prison term. 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:09.320 Thirty five years well, first degree murder oughtibi. Yeah, yeah, 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.360 a lot of those people. I looked at them and 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.840 I think you or I listened to them, and I 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.240 think you lack the capacity for rational thoughts. So I'm 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.160 not going to stand on a courthouse lawn and yell 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:20.880 at you and try to convince you of something that 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:22.880 just don't have the capacity of for rational thought. 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:23.560 What are you going to do? 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.240 Yeah, I don't know. I don't get it. I don't 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:35.599 understand why why you can't overcome whatever racial feelings you 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:40.799 have and think, well, this would have been a shoving 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.720 match except for one guy had a knife and stab 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:45.600 the other guy to death. 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.320 You can't do that when you're asked over and over 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:53.440 and over again to leave somewhere, leave, but you know 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:55.960 that doesn't enter into the crime. Who is polite or 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:57.760 impolite or had a right to be under a tent 0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.800 or not. That's not the way the law works. 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:05.320 Right man, What an ugly story. I don't know if 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:06.400 there's anything more to say on that. 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.920 That well, the only thing I'll say is that there 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.839 was an absolutely horrific crime in which a Somali man 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:18.160 tried to be had an irishman in the street and. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:24.000 Didn't they determine it's not Somalia. Oh I think it 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:29.279 was oh Sudan. My apologies, Yeah, an s named Africa country. 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.440 But anyway, there was a second night of great. 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:36.920 Violence in Britain as the rampant open immigration, particularly from 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:41.280 Muslim lands, which has so twisted British society. 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:46.320 Is the true meaning of that. 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.560 The impact of that is becoming more and more clear 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.760 to more and more Brits, and so they're acting out 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:57.120 and rioting and breaking stuff which I never condone. But 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.520 I have said this many many times and will continue 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:04.919 to say it. If only extremist quote unquote groups talk 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:10.040 about the real problems the people are feeling, people will 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:15.200 gravitate to those groups. If your mainstream in British politics 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.560 isn't ready to say, you know, this has caused enymous, 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.840 enormous problems and disruptions people are going to act in 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.400 ways you don't like. And you caused it center right 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.400 in Britain. You caused a lot of it. More on 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:29.120 that another time. 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.280 I want to talk to this about some stuff that's 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.480 a little less serious. Jeff, did you see the Uh, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:42.440 I've got all the details on this that Seattle Mayor 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.000 that we like making fun. 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:48.320 Of the Katie Wilson socialists, Katie Wilson woman child socialist. Yes, 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.239 her latest thing with all those tiny homes that she built, 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:52.360 well not near as many as. 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.360 They're supposed to build. But what a disaster this is 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.520 turning into and going to turn into a pretty funny 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.840 story actually that we'll have to get to. And uh. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.520 And then I got a question for you. Does this 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.720 ever happen in your life? That got from a Robbie 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.960 suave of reason? But does this ever happen in your life? 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.360 He asks that question, We asked that question. That's a 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:16.640 good one too. A lot of stuff on the way. 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:27.840 I hope you can stay here. Okay, that sounds like 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.880 you got faulting in. Joe is going to tell us 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.120 before we play the clip before what that is? What 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:34.520 is it? 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.560 There's a couple of dip asses who go out at 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.200 night and hit golf balls into oncoming trafficking it the 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.520 windows of buildings. 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:46.000 Then they they. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.560 Tape it and they post the clips to Instagram. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.120 Did the police immediately show up and say you're under 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.000 arrest and you have to pay for the damage you've done, 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.480 and that's illegal and you've committed these crimes. 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.320 Surprisingly, yes, they're not hiding their faces. They've got over 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.800 followers peared to be doing this nightly across LA, joking 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:05.800 in the comments about never getting caught. 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.360 Wow, all right, and they quickly were. 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:14.120 Caught, speaking of idiots. Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is being 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.840 criticized for her tiny homes likened to porta potty drug dens. 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.640 So one of the many people in blue cities that 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.600 have decided, you know what we need to do for 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.840 the homeless, the unhoused drug addicts, is building these tiny 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.800 homes so they have some place to live. These things 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.560 are tiny. They are about the size of a big 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.840 porta potty. She had promised of a jail cell. She 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.280 had promised a thousand of them in time for the 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.840 World Cup. Since they're moving the draw it at drug 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.000 addicts out of the way. I don't know why you 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:48.600 have to put up with it if you're a citizen 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.160 of the city and you live there all the time. 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.640 But if TV cameras are going to be there and 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.040 foreigners are going to spend money watching soccer, then they 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:57.480 move the drug addicts out of the way. I don't 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:58.240 quite sure. 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:02.320 That citizens, no f you Romanian soccer fans will do 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:03.240 anything for you. 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:08.840 They're supposed to build a thousand, and they got fifty 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:13.120 so far. You're supposed to build a thousand before the 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.840 soccer match started, they got fifty. There's seventy square feet, 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:20.920 which isn't very many, and equipped with just a single 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.520 bed and a desk. I thought a desk. I suppose 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.480 it so well, so you can fill out your resumes, 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.600 applying for your jobs and all the stuff, you know, 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.240 so they can go out because all they need is 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:32.880 just a little help to get back on their feet. 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.920 Write your memoir on the desk, right, your memoir. And 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:38.720 the first thought you might think is there was a 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.719 toilet in there, though there's not a toilet in there. 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.520 They're sharing toilets and other facilities, showers and that sort 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.360 of stuff. So it's just a bed and a desk. 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:53.120 In this tiny little place and homeless advocates. I think 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.080 it's just awful that we're giving the taxpayers are giving 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.360 them these tiny little places. People on the other side 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.280 of it are saying, what a waste of money. They're 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.840 just gonna pee and poop in them and do drugs 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.920 in them, and they're gonna get destroyed and nothing will 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.480 get accomplished, which is true, by the way, because they're 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.160 drug addicts, they're irresponsible. 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:11.120 It kind of goes with it. 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.760 Yeah, So anyway, we'll see how that turns out. Yet 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.080 another experiment and dumb blue ideas. I wanted to get 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:18.360 this on. I thought it was really good. I came 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.199 across it online yesterday. Robbie Suave didn't We used to 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.719 have him on regularly. I feel like we used to 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.480 talk to him from Reason magazine. He said, I'll read 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.079 what he said before I get to what Ezra Cline wrote. 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.360 Robbie Sabe said, I have never once in my life 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.760 encountered someone expressing this sentiment, either I live in a 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:41.560 bubble or as Recline does. And I thought, well, I 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.080 guess we all do. And it's really interesting. None of 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.480 us know the extent to which we are bubbled. But 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.440 we're all bubbled a little bait. I try really hard 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.240 not to be because of this job. If I didn't 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.240 have this job, I probably wouldn't try near as hard. 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.960 But but no, I think that the time Hownard argue, 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:04.040 it still stands. Conservatives cannot help, but it's hardering. The 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.680 arguments of progressives thought harder growing up. 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:08.040 Yeah. 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.040 Yeah. The only way you could do it is if 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:14.400 like you didn't watch TV, go to movies, listen to music. 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.960 Go to concerts, newspapers. 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:21.160 Yeah, taking any media, go to concerts, anything. Ezra Kline wrote, 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.240 he's the Opinion college and opinion columnists for the New 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.679 York Times. Over the past few years, I've been asked 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.600 one question more than any other. It comes up at speeches, 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.640 at dinners and conversation. It's the most popular query. When 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.320 I opened my podcast to suggestions time and again, and 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.920 I thought, Okay, I'm interested in this. No matter what 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.600 he's doing, this is the most popular question. It comes 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.040 in two forms. The first, should I have kids given 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.440 the climate crisis they will face? Oh? My lord? And 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.520 the second should I have kids knowing they will contribute 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.280 to the climate crisis the world faces? Holy? 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:54.480 Yes? I know. 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.640 I know, so if Ezra Klent is being on honest, 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.920 that the one I don't question more than any other 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:08.360 speeches Dinners his podcast and Robbie Swabe. He says, like me, 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:12.880 I have never once in my life encountered somewhat expressing 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:18.199 this sentiment. So I mean, that's quite quite a difference. Yes, 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.600 I have never heard that in my life either ever, 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.240 And as recline, it's the number one question no matter 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:29.240 what he does. Wow, And again I don't actually know. 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.439 He might be telling the truth, which means he runs 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.000 in very different circles than the rest of us. 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.880 It's like you're describing, you know, some native culture with 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.960 plates in their lips and then no motor cars or whatever, 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.719 and talking about how they drink ox blood for their 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:51.560 religious rituals. I mean, it so foreign, it's crazy. I 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.720 saw there was an advice column in the New York 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.400 Times I hang. I hung on to it for a while, 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.439 but never brought it up on the show where this 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.520 person says, I'm really feeling guilty about some of the 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:07.280 things I do. Is it more environmentally irresponsible irresponsible of 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.640 me to use an AI chat bot or to eat 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:16.800 red meat? They broke it down, and I'm like, shut 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.360 up and give me a hamburger. I'm talking to Claude. 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.480 If you weren't an atheist, which you probably are, you 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.720 should get down on your knees and thank God that 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:29.319 your life is so pleasant and easy that you can 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.480 worry about whether or not you should eat red meat 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.880 or use a chatbot, because your life must be pretty great. 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:40.440 Should get down to that concern. Yeah, good God on 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.920 the whole. The number one question everywhere I go, no 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.240 matter what I do, over many years, Ezra Clin says, 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:52.040 your answer, I hope your answer is you're a moron. 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:53.520 Man up your. 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.440 Baby, even the women man up. Should I have kids? 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.920 Given the climate crisis they will face? Oh? 0:13:59.000 --> 0:13:59.400 For God? 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.920 If Ezra is not, is that a real question, then 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.280 you're doing it wrong. Should I have kids knowing they'll 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:10.560 contribute to the climate crisis? What in the hell. 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:16.480 There is such a quas eye religious thing going on there? Yeah, 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:21.040 articles of faith, sacred doctrines. You dare not question it, 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.560 lest do you be labeled. 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.960 In an apostate. It's just an infidel. 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.520 How much time? How much time you got here, Michael 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:33.880 three minutes We played it earlier talking about it, Trump 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.720 just answered some questions about the whole war in Iran 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.720 and specifically the last forty eight hours where Iran shot 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:44.880 down one of our Apache helicopters, and Trump, to my mind, 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:51.160 very tepily replied verbally and tepidly replied militarily. Although it 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.400 may be, according to David Ignatius of The Washington Post, 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:58.440 a shaping operation. It's when you take out various things 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.440 before you do the big hit. I hope that's what 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.160 it is. But anyway, the story that we now know 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:10.880 that the rocket, the drone lodged into the helicopter and 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:16.120 didn't explode right, and they landed the helicopter in the 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:17.960 water and got out of the helicopter, the whole time 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.880 thinking this is going to explode any second, We're gonna 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:20.240 be dead. 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:21.920 Oh yeah, yep, yep. 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.120 They had already pably come to terms with their own 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.200 debts and survived miraculously. 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:28.280 Wow. 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:34.200 Yeah, that'd make you religious. I get so tired of 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:35.840 saying this, But I guess we'll have to give it 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.240 a day or two to see if the the repercussions 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:43.960 are appropriate. There is there is reporting that Hegzeth had 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.000 to convince Trump, hey, we got to respond to this. Wow. 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:48.760 This Trump didn't want to Hey. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:49.040 Wow. 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.360 So there have been a lot of graduation speeches over 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.320 the last couple of weeks, and we've played some good ones, 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.000 some great ones, and some horrible ones. But there's a 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.280 good one we got coming up. I can't wait to 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.440 play that I really liked, and I'm going to think 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.560 about a lot in my life from a tennis player, 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.360 maybe the greatest tennis player of all time, Roger Federer, 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.640 but he spoke at a graduation yesterday and his little 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:09.320 spiel was really really good. 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:10.200 Hmmm. 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:11.880 So we'll play a little left for you. Hopefully it'll 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.000 be inspiring and like something you can take from this 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.480 show that is not, you know, misery and depression. What's 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.200 the advice, Get to the net as fast as you 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:26.600 can be born tall and strong and handsome and handsome. 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:30.360 Then apply it to tennis, and if you're not, try harder. 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.400 I was playing pickleball the other day. We actually read 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.440 the rules. We actually read the rules, and we're trying 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.320 to play it by the rules. Yeah, that's that's quite 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:38.760 the game. 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:41.400 It's incredibly popular. 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.000 Yeah it is. I don't quite get it myself, but 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.480 we prefer tennis anyway. Feature own. 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:47.200 Look at you. 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.600 You're purest that's why you're wearing your whites today. And 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:51.400 your head band doesn't look good. 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.280 Can't wear a visor when you're blonde or bald, not 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.760 blonde bald doesn't do you any good. Roger Federer with 0:16:56.880 --> 0:17:02.800 some advice for life coming up. It's really good basketball 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.120 game the other night was the most expensive NBA game 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:09.119 for a ticket in history, the fourth most expensive sporting 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.960 event of all time in terms of tickets. Who went 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:16.080 to the game pays that kind of money. Got kind 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.600 of a funny thing on that. I see that nutjob 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:23.600 Nancy Mace one and are lost in South Carolina and 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:25.480 is probably done with their political career. 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.640 Yeah she was a distant third or fourth or something 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:34.040 like that. Yeah what a kook. Yeah yeah, yeah. 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:35.800 I feel like I had one other thing I was 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.600 gonna mention, but I'm sure it'll pop it into my head. 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.760 Came across this yesterday, one of the many graduation speeches 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:46.800 making the round. Some of them are insufferably dreamy liberal 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:48.840 crap that people say up there. 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.000 Or like gripped from today's headlines. 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:55.400 Politically, oh right, right, just like the politics of the day. Anyway, 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.760 this is Roger Federer. I don't know if I ever 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.360 watched a single point of him playing tennis. I used 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:06.560 to love watching tennis back in the day. But Roger 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.719 Feeder maybe the greatest tennis player of all time. Speaking 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.840 to some group at a graduation, I thought this was 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:11.359 really good. 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:13.160 Perfection is impossible. 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:16.320 In the one thousand and five and twenty six singles 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:21.080 matches I played in my career, I won almost eighty 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.480 percent of those matches. Now I have a question for you. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.680 What percentage of points do you think I wanted those matches? 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.800 Only fifty four percent? In other words, even top ranked 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.880 tennis players when barely more than half of the points 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.120 they play. When you lose every second point on average, 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.800 you learn not to dwell on every shot. You teach 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:50.200 yourself to think, Okay, I double faulted, it's only a point. Okay, 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.280 I came to the net, then I got past again. 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:53.760 It's only a point. 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.399 Even a great shot, an overhead back and smash that 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:01.080 ends up on ESPN's top ten playlist, that too, is 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.679 just a point. So here's why I'm telling you this. 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.639 When you're playing at point, it has to be the 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.800 most important thing in the world that it is, but 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.560 when it's behind you, it's behind you. This mindset is 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:16.040 really crucial because it frees you to fully commit to 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:21.160 the next point at the next point after that, with intensity, clarity, 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:23.080 and focus. 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.119 I really like that. And I'm something I've been terrible 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:28.720 at my whole life, and I hope I can get 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.520 better at in the last quarter of my life, assuming 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.680 I don't get run over by a bus or murdered. 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:40.840 That happened you anything to learn from that? Maybe? Yes? No, whatever, Okay, 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.239 let's move on to the next thing. The end of 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.760 that thing is over. That thing happened. Oh, I'm done 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:49.480 with it. I thought you meant on the show we're 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:51.160 going to move on to the next thing. I was like, no, 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:52.879 I want to talk about this. No, no, no, no, the 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.600 event that I'm just whatever happened in my life, big 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:57.680 or small, or like he said, and if it went 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:02.119 really really well, anything need to learn from that? I remember? Okay, 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.800 now let's go forward. It's over. Yeah. 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:05.080 Yeah. 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.600 They call it having the memory of a goldfish in golf. 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.480 Uh don't don't. Don't dwell on your past failures. They 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:14.440 don't help you learn from them quickly and then move along. 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:19.440 Can you can I apply it to life? Though? God, 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.720 what's amazing. How much of the of what we do 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:26.800 is our brain was wired that way in the womb 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:30.960 and we have marginal control over and how much of 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.560 it is a personality tendency that we developed for And 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:37.560 nobody knows actually on all these things. But god, dang it. 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:42.320 The the dwelling on something bad that happened is pointless 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:46.200 once you've you know, squeezed any knowledge you can out 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:52.080 of it. But that happens pretty quickly, true enough, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.479 fair enough. I was just thinking about to what extent 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:56.840 is that metaphor useful for life? 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:57.360 And it is? 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:01.600 It definitely is. I mean, if you like, spend your 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:06.040 entire life savings on three magic beans, well that's that's 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:07.439 more than a point Roger. 0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:09.760 That's the match, that's your career. 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:15.120 But in general, yeah, I mean, the future happens while 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:16.320 you're doing about the past. 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:18.040 That's good. That ought to be on a poster or 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:19.080 a T shirt or something. 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:20.800 Yeah, I don't know if I agree with you. Even 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.320 if you spent your life savings on three magic beans. 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.360 There is one Well that was really stupid, stupidest thing 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.119 I ever did, But there's no point in dwelling on 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.399 it anymore. There's just no point. 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:35.760
