Speaker 2: or one more thing we think you'll enjoy it, sir.

10
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: People that try to engage you in conversation, like the

11
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 3: person ringing you up at the grocery store and you know,

12
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 3: I'm buying some groceries. I'm buying a gallon of milk

13
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 3: and some carrots, So what are your plans for tonight?

14
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: And I realize you're gonna drink milk and eat carrots.

15
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: That is exactly how I answer, usually because I'm a

16
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 3: smart ass and annoyed by those questions, and I feel

17
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: bad because it's not their fault, I don't think. I

18
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: think many times you're told that that will make the

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: customers feel more welcome or something. And like I said

20
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: on the radio the other day. I wish there was

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: some sort of stamp I could get or thing I

22
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 3: could work around my knackers says, I'm not one of

23
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: those people. I don't feel more likely to come back.

24
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: If you engage me in conversation, I feel less likely

25
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: to come back. It's not your fault.

26
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: But although I do require the basics of polite society,

27
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: because occasionally you'll be in a place a grocery store

28
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: or maybe not so high end, or person's having a

29
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: bad day and they don't even acknowledge your presence.

30
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: They just start ringing stuff up. Did we talk about

31
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: this on the air or not? About the the person

32
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: ringing me up who had the ear piece in?

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: Do we talk about that on the air. I don't

34
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: think so. Yeah, I don't think so.

35
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 3: I'm at a dollar store and because I agree, Hey,

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: how you doing good?

37
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: How you fine? Got to have that? Find everything?

38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: Okay, yep, that's fine. I have no problem with that whatsoever.

39
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: The nothing is weird. And so I was checking out

40
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 3: the dollar strum with my two boys and checking out,

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: and I said, hey, how's it going. She says nothing

42
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: to me and rings me up, and I said, have

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: a good day. She said nothing to me, and I

44
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 3: walked down and I said that girl shouldn't be working there.

45
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: If I owned that store, I'd be so freaking pissed

46
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: off to know that I have somebody work in the

47
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: register that doesn't even say hello.

48
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: And he said that she had her earpiece in. She's

49
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: listening to music. I said, well to.

50
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: That, absolutely freaking firer And he said that in. My

51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: son was like really taken aback by my response to that, Like,

52
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: everybody has their earpiece in. It's okay, it's not a

53
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 3: big deal. She's listening to music. And my son always

54
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 3: has his their piece in, I mean always, and I

55
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: have to take it out. I want to talk to you.

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: I want to be able to talk to you. I

57
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: want to know when I talk to you you can

58
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 3: hear me. I mean if we're riding in the car

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: or whatever. And it's just part of that age group.

60
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: They have it in always with each other. Like if

61
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: there's four dudes sitting around talking, they each have an

62
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: ear piece in listen to music. I guess, wow, I

63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: don't know what that is, if it's just like a

64
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: fashion thing or if their brain actually desires it. But

65
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 3: I thought, when I'm dead and it won't be long.

66
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: I'm in the winter of my life. The next generation,

67
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: they'll all have your pieces in and they won't expect

68
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: any communication whatsoever because they're all listening to music or

69
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: a podcast, and so I guess they'll go.

70
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: Through the store checkout. Nobody will talk to each other.

71
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: You know, you ride together in a car somewhere, nobody

72
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: says a word to each other because you're all listening

73
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: to your own stuff in your head. It's just gonna happen.

74
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: There's no stopping it. But it makes me nuts.

75
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: But I didn't realize it'd gotten that bad.

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he couldn't believe that it bothered me

77
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: that she had an ear piece in and didn't respond

78
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: to me.

79
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: Because that's the way his generation does it. Yeah, it's

80
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: shocking to me. Yeah, I know, I know well, and

81
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 2: it's resulted in so much unmistakable misery and isolation. I

82
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: just if I'm casting my bets for who's in charge

83
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: of the world in two hundred years, it's the young

84
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: and hungry and backward civilizations right now, although they may

85
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: well as soon as they get hold of the technology

86
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: and the food. I mean that every country that goes

87
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: from like eleven cents per capita for GDP to like

88
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: over a dollar fifty. They immediately become obese, and they

89
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: adopt all of the modern stuff that's killing us. I

90
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: just think we've invented her own doom. We've invented too

91
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: many pleasures to resist. No country for old men, right,

92
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: But back to like people that aren't teenagers, where you

93
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: expect some sort of normal give and take with the

94
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: cashier or the dental hygh genius came up the other day.

95
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: Katie brought up she hates it.

96
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: When they ask her questions when they got their hands

97
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: in your mouth because you can't answer anyway. Katie's not

98
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: here today because she's sick. But we got this text

99
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: about that because we were wondering. I'm sure the dental

100
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: hygh genius is told to make conversation. It makes the

101
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: patients feel more comfortable or something like it.

102
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, helps distract them from things that

103
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: bother you or scary or whatever.

104
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: Sure, longtime listener, this person text lived in San Francisco

105
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: for twenty years.

106
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: I now live in Manhattan. Okay.

107
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 3: Wow, one of those people that there are only really

108
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: a couple places you can live in America, Los Angeles,

109
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: New York, maybe San Francisco or Chicago, but those are

110
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 3: your only options. I know a number of people like that.

111
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: The only places they've lived are those very big cities.

112
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: But anyway, as a long time dental hygienist, employers do

113
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 3: not tell you to engage in conversation with the patients.

114
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 3: Some patients absolutely want us to talk and tell them

115
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: stories to take their time off the process or their

116
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: mind off the process. Yeah, and a good one will

117
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: get a sense from the patient whether they want to

118
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 3: talk or be quiet, which I do appreciate that you

119
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: picked up on my hateful, hateful.

120
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: Murderous vibe that I don't want to talk. I appreciate that.

121
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: It is perfect perfectly polite to tell us how you

122
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 3: want to experience the appointment. It's your money, your time,

123
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 3: so tell them, please talk me through this, help distract me,

124
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 3: or say I'd prefer to sit here and just think

125
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: and stare at the ceiling or listen to a podcast

126
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 3: or something. You don't need to talk to me. That's

127
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: not a bad idea. Just tell them ahead of time.

128
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: I'm not a person that wants to talk, so don't

129
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 3: feel like you have to. I don't know, as I

130
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: come off as being a dick.

131
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: M I would guess among the folks that have bothered me.

132
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: And when I say bothered me, it's fine, it's really

133
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: oh yeah, it's a yeah. The first world problems, I

134
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: mean serious, yeah. Yeah. In the list of things that

135
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: actually bother me, that's way way way down. But the

136
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: gal who I've worked with at times in the past,

137
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: I'll just say that dental hygennis. I could write a

138
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: fairly brief but reasonably complete biography of this one, and

139
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: that is her Boswell to her Johnson, you could write

140
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: a biography of her, having just followed her around. Yeah,

141
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: And I just there's no need for that. But yeah,

142
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: it's fine. I just I'm not going to put on

143
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: They my old dentist. And I've been very fortunate to

144
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: have had two dentists in the last thirty years. They've

145
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: both been fantastic. My old dentists. They have to give

146
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: you twenty years, so we have that in common. Wow.

147
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: But they would give you headphones, but I would always

148
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: just wear one because they have to communicate with you.

149
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 2: Can you tell your head a little toward me great

150
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: or you know whatever, open a little less that's to

151
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: help them do their thing. And so I've never been

152
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: comfortable with and maybe it's my generation with being in communicata.

153
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: No, like you're gonna have to communicate with it, you know,

154
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: the one that I hate the most. And this is

155
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: a different topic, but the one I hate the most.

156
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: Blood draws. And I even if I tell first of all, yeah,

157
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: don't talk about it, and then even if I tell

158
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: them not to talk about it, most of the time

159
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: they do. Look, just I'm fine with this will be okay,

160
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: Just I don't want to don't talk about it at all.

161
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: Let's not talk about it.

162
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: Still, I'm gonna get a ooh, you got some juicy veins.

163
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: This will be easy. Or having trouble finding your veins

164
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: is gonna be hard to get the needle into your

165
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 3: veins because I need you to clench your down.

166
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: Stop talking about it. It's all right. I don't want

167
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: to hear word about it.

168
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: Let me just sit down, look at the wall, pretend

169
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 3: something else is going on.

170
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: You jab me. I'm fine. Some people, and this covers

171
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: every occupation known to mankind, be they a humble street

172
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: sweeper or a skilled brain surgeon, or something in between.

173
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: In every profession Jack. There are dumb asses or people

174
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: who are so emotionally not intelligent they can't take an

175
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: effing hint and see it from your perspective.

176
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: And it's it's annoying with me, but really annoying with

177
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: my son, who every time but once has thrown up

178
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: when he gets a blood dry and gets so anxious

179
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 3: and nervous and out of control and everything like that,

180
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: and we have multiple adults have to hold him down.

181
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a horrific experience every time we get there.

182
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: But I go in there ahead of time and say,

183
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 3: let's just not talk about it at all. He really

184
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: struggles with this. I say what I just said and

185
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: everything like that. And almost all the time they say,

186
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: the needle's not that big. Sea here, look at the needle.

187
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: It's not gonna no, no, you affing more on.

188
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 2: How do you not get this? Wow? Wow? I don't

189
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: think there's anything you can do for a person like that. Oh,

190
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 2: here I'm gonna do, got me the needle? How do

191
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: you like to hear? Suppose you're not? So probably not now,

192
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 2: But next podcast I will tell you this. Next One

00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 2: cool when we're turned to Jack's brutal and hateful dispatch

197
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: of innocent dogs and probably cats at a future date.

198
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: So more psychopathy on the next one. More thing. You

199
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: know what, my next dental appointment, I'm gonna look at

206
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. I decided,

207
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 2: since we were talking about war, to look for quotes

208
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: about war, and the Google AI overview gave me a

209
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: couple of dozen in three groups on the futil of war,

210
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: on the human cost of war, on the importance of peace.

211
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: I like this one, and then I hate it. There's

212
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: nothing that war has ever achieved that we cannot better

213
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: achieve without it. That's the dumbest thing. You are a moron.

214
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 3: If you say that out loud, I would just get

215
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 3: up and walk out of the room if an adult

216
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 3: said that a lot, because you can't engage with them.

217
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: No, No, that's a very dopey point of view. Oh

218
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 2: my god. John Kennedy.

219
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 3: On the other hand, so if the other side wants

220
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 3: to go to war, then what do you do?

221
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: We could have better achieved it with peace. Yeah, I

222
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 2: just that's that is greeting card rhetoric. I mean, he's

223
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: not wrong exactly, but that's that's the sort of sort

224
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: of thing people say because they don't want to engage

225
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: in the really difficult decisions of adulthood of reality. Right,

226
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: mail bag drove us a note mail bag at Armstrong

227
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: Andngetti dot com.

228
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 3: That's the kind of guy that's gonna watch Top Gun

229
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: in honor of Val Kilmer as opposed to Tombstone.

230
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 2: That guy right there, that's too harsh. Jack asides your

231
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: Bob Wrights on the topic of the Wisconsin Supreme Court thing.

232
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: I guess I'll just call my boss this morning and

233
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: tell him to f write off. The end of civilization

234
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: is near, according to Elon, and I'm not gonna spend

235
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: what a little time we have left working. Good point, Bob,

236
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: let's see Barry from Thailand, who's actually from the US,

237
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 2: but he's in Thailand, says for all the good Musk

238
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: is done, he really needs to stay under the radar

239
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: for a while. He's becoming like the brother who lives

240
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 2: in the White House. Keep doing good stuff, Elon, but quietly, Yeah, well.

241
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: The Democrat won there in Wisconsin, and how much it

242
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: had to do with Elon?

243
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: Who knows?

244
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 3: But the left then mainstream media is acting like it

245
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: was a referendum on Elon. Clearly that the whole election

246
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: was a referendum on Elon. None of us live in

247
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 3: Wisconsin and saw all the ads or have any idea

248
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 3: what either of the judges are like personnel wise or

249
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: anything like that. Right, it's just a referendum on Elon.

250
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: If the mainstream media can successfully make it a referendum

251
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: on Elon for the twenty twenty six midterms, Oh god,

252
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 3: dang it, you're.

253
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: Gonna get tired of hearing about Elon Musk. Oh too late, already.

254
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: I'm already tired of hearing about him. Not what he's doing,

255
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: just hearing about it. Yesterday was it Monday? I brought

256
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: up I read an email from a chap who said, Hey,

257
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: the illustration you gave of price controls and socialism by

258
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: telling a story about a dairy farmer, and you couldn't

259
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 2: find the right episode. By the way, it's not that

260
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: you have two cows and communism X and socialism. Why.

261
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: I know that that's very good and very funny, but

262
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: this is something different, So please stop writing those emails.

263
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: But Matt, why buy the cow if the milk is free?

264
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: Is that one? No, that's a different one too, Matt writes, Guys,

265
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: just use chat GPT. It'll tell you in three seconds.

266
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: Check out this interaction. How easy he was to find

267
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: the info. Here's what he did. What's the episode of

268
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Geddy where Joe explains socialism by telling a

269
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: story about a dairy farm? And in a fraction of

270
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 2: a second, it appears that Joe Getty discussed socialism using

271
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 2: a dairy farmer analogy and at least two episodes of

272
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: the Armstrong Getting on demand podcast Oh My God. The

273
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: first instance is in the episode titled Hell Yeah Say

274
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: That out Loud, published approximately seven months ago. Second occurrence

275
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: is in the ang replay Thursday Hour four, released about

276
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: three months ago. In both episodes, Joe uses the example

277
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: of a dairy farmer to illustrate economic principles relating to

278
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: price controls and government intervention. That's amazing, and then gives

279
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: the date of the episode so I can find it

280
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: on Armstrong and getting.

281
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,200

289
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: in her eye. How about this bridget and beautiful Hillsburg, California. Guys,

290
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: I'm one hundred percent with you on college needing a complete,

291
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: almost uber esque overhaul after completing my sociology degree. Sorry

292
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: Joe at Johns Hopkins. You know at least one of

293
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: my kids has a worthless degree. It's just what they

294
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: were really really into. Anyway. I had no idea what

295
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: I wanted to be when I grew up the best

296
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: thing that happened to me was joining a consumer products

297
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: division at a major company where I got to see

298
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: in real time, in the real world, what each department

299
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: of this vertically integrated business did. I got to see sales, operations, finance, production, HR, legal,

300
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: and marketing. After a year, I knew that my path

301
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: was marketing and never looked back. That's what college needs

302
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: to be, a place where students can be in different

303
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: work environments to identify their desired path. What was that

304
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: word in there? Though?

305
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 3: I think that word in there that that's where, that's

306
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: where the work. I'm not sure that how often that happened. Yeah, yeah,

307
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: there's that. Let's say I've learned more about sleep chronotypes.

308
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 3: We can talk about that in a little while. Ye've

309
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,119
Speaker 3: got we got a story today Katie dug up about

310
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: what was that screen time and going to sleep a

311
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: new study.

312
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Katie's probably a dolphin. Jack is a wolf or

313
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: a dolphin in terms of sleeping. I'd rather be a

314
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,479
Speaker 2: hammer than a nail. Let's see. And this is all anonymous.

315
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: I think the cold plunge sounds terrible, but his life

316
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: changing unheated pool works great. I thought about that the

317
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: other day.

318
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: I got to pool in the backyard that's freezing cold

319
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: right now.

320
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: He does it before bedtime? Oh god, four three, four

321
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: days a week.

322
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: Even if I could do it the first day, I

323
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: just don't think I could do it the next night

324
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: and stand there and think why am I doing this?

325
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: And then Scott brings up quite correctly that if you're

326
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: gonna paint a swastik on a car for being a

327
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: literal Nazi, there's a much better brand nominee. Okay that

328
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: Old Ah himself may have helped get going back in

329
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: the day in Germany, but they're not freaking nazzies, and

330
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: either is quit What the swastik is?

331
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: You?

332
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: Moron? So? What's the swastik in Tesla?

333
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 3: Is it all because of that wave they claim was

334
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 3: a Seeghile?

335
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 2: Is that the whole thing?

336
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: Oh?

337
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: No, it's it's that he's banding with Trump and having

338
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 2: federal workers fired. That proves he's a Nazi. He's on

339
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: Trump's side. Trump's a fascist, He's the new Hitler. Where

340
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: have you been?

341
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 3: Man?

342
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: Trying to make government smaller makes you a Nazi? Everybody

343
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 2: knows that. Are you a closeted Nazi yourself? I'm beginning

344
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: to wonder I'm gonna paid a swastik on him. Yeah. Now,

345
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 2: a quick word from our friends and sponsors that simply

346
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,520

Speaker 4: the door, I'm happy to see the Simply Safe sign.

352
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,119

Speaker 4: let people know, I got the cameras, I got the censors,

Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty Show, The Armstrong and Getty Show.

372
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 3: So the New York Times headline is FCC releases sixty

373
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 3: minutes interview with Kamala Harris. Remember she did a big

374
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 3: sit down in sixty minutes leading up to the election,

375
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 3: got a lot of a lot of scrutiny because while

376
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: she very rarely answered questions, and when she did, it

377
00:18:59,359 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: was nonsensical.

378
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 2: So it always got a lot of scrutiny.

379
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 3: And then we all found out, like the next day

380
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 3: or very soon thereafter that there was some editing and

381
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: the promos and this and that, and did they cut

382
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 3: one of our answers to make her seem less crazy?

383
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: And all that sort of stuff that was out there

384
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 3: in the world. But so this sixty minute this story

385
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: from The New York Times Today again FCC, the FCC

386
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: released this, not c I mean they made CBS get it.

387
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 3: FCC releases sixty Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. The complete interview,

388
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 3: which is at the center of a lawsuit filed by

389
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 3: President Trump, shows that sixty Minutes aired a concise version

390
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: of Miss Harris's answer on israel I. Thought it was

391
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: interesting that the New York Times what with that is

392
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: kind of the subheadline, because if all you look at

393
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 3: is that, you certainly come away with the Trump was right,

394
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 3: they were wrong. They were trying to screw him. I

395
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: think that's the way most people are gonna take that story.

396
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 3: This is the way CBS presented it.

397
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 5: We now have some news about CBS itself. Sixty Minutes

398
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 5: has posted on cbsnews dot com transcripts and videos from

399
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 5: it interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris that aired

400
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 5: back in October. The FCC had requested these materials as

401
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 5: part of an investigation into a complaint alleging quote intentional news.

402
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: Distortion close quote.

403
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 5: The issue concerns one question about whether Israeli Prime Minister

404
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 5: Benjamin at Yahoo was listening to the Biden administration. CBS

405
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 5: News broadcast a longer portion of Harris's answer on Faced

406
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 5: to Nation, and then a shorter excerpt of the same

407
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 5: answer on sixty minutes. In a statement, sixty Minutes said

408
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 5: the transcripts and video show quote the sixty minutes broadcast

409
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 5: was not doctored or deceitful close quote, adding that each

410
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 5: excerpt reflects the substance of the Vice president's answer.

411
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: Which is a better story, a better explanation of it

412
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: than They're probably not happy at CBS the way the

413
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: New York Times boiled it down to one sentence.

414
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I mean more concise is And it

415
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: doesn't strike me as that judgmental either way.

416
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: Honestly, New York Post version uncut. Now we're about to

417
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 3: play the actual clips, but uncut. Sixty minutes Kamala Harris

418
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 3: interview reveals word salad responses were heavily edited by sixty minutes.

419
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 3: Uh snipped Israel answer to just twenty words. Kamala Harris

420
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 3: gave a one hundred and seventy nine word meandering answer

421
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 3: on Israel that sixty minutes cut to twenty words, according

422
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 3: to the transcripts released yesterday.

423
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: Wow, that's the editing.

424
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: One hundred and seventy nine word answer to twenty words. Now,

425
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 3: as executive producer Hanson has been talking about as a

426
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 3: guy who's produced lots of different kinds of radio shows

427
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 3: and sports highlights and all kinds of different stuff.

428
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: That's what we do all the time the media business.

429
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you have to.

430
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 3: You have to for all kinds of reasons, time keeping

431
00:21:54,520 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 3: people's attention, jazzing it up, making it punchy. Theho really

432
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: seems to be to me that in this particular case,

433
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: the number one knock on the candidate was they couldn't

434
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: answer a question without going into word solid mode. I mean,

435
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: that was like one of the key questions with her

436
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: right a campaign issue. But what question are we asking here?

437
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you the reason I asked that. I mean,

438
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 3: CBS is wildly biased, wildly and I think most people

439
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 3: know it. This lawsuit is nuts. It'll be dismissed very

440
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 3: very quickly.

441
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 2: Well, so you're going to the legal thing. I don't

442
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: care about the legal thing.

443
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 3: I think politically it's going to be damaging, absolutely damaging

444
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 3: to the media. Slash sixty minutes and these I certainly

445
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 3: win for Trump, I think. And Trump doesn't think he's

446
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 3: going to win the lawsuit.

447
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 2: I don't think. Oh no, I think he just wants

448
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: to people to talk about it.

449
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: Although getting back to the New York Times article, right,

450
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 3: and we're talking about it in a way that suggests

451
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: that sixty minutes did edit the answer to make her look.

452
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: Better, which you know, I'm sure he's very happy with.

453
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 3: But farther down in the New York Times article about this,

454
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 3: sixty minutes argues that it did nothing wrong. It's common

455
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: practice for news organizations to edit for ah blah blah blah.

456
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 3: Getting into the legal.

457
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 2: Part of it, I want to get this because this

458
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: is really good, mister Troops.

459
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: Lawsuit has led to angst at CBS, where many staff

460
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 3: members believe that any settlement would be a symbolic concession

461
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 3: to the president and an acknowledgment of wrongdoing by sixty Minutes.

462
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: Bill Owens, the executive producer of sixty minutes, said Monday

463
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 3: in a meeting with staff that he would not apologize

464
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 3: to Trump as part of any settlement with the network.

465
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 3: But it looks like that's probably what going to happen.

466
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 3: CBS is going to pay something to get this over

467
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 3: with and wants to include an apology, but the guy

468
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: involves it, I'm not apologizing, and the staff that works there,

469
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 3: we've heard this over and over again right, New York

470
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 3: Times sixty minutes, all these different left leaning organizations. The

471
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 3: staff gets all upset. We can't have we can't give

472
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 3: an inch on any of these things. The people at

473
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 3: the top or the lawyers often have a different point

474
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 3: of view of we need to settle this. It's only

475
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 3: going to get more expensive. People settle these kind of

476
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 3: things all the time.

477
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. On the other hand, if they do, I'll be

478
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: really disappointed. You can't settle it. I'll be interested to

479
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: see if they do or not.

480
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 3: I'm having this conversation with my kids the other day

481
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 3: about why lawyers recommend settling things when you did nothing wrong.

482
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 2: It's just a dollars and cents question. Often. Yeah, if

483
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 2: I were a smarter lawyer than their lawyers, i'd say,

484
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: you're going to be handling one of these suits every

485
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: week and a half to I don't know, four days.

486
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 2: If you settle this, oh you edited it made me

487
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: look bad or made me unhappy. No, you can't settle

488
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: this suit.

489
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: Yeah I wonder. I wonder where it's going or how

490
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: it's going to turn out. But anyway, let's play the clips,

491
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: the actual clips.

492
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 2: So this is.

493
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: One version of the question and answer clip seventy one

494
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 3: there between Bill Whitaker and Kamala Harris.

495
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 2: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyah who is not listening.

496
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 6: Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted

497
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 6: in a number of movements in that region by Israel

498
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 6: that were very much prompted by or a result of

499
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 6: many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen

500
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 6: in the region.

501
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 2: I'm mostly reminded listening to that what a dope she is.

502
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: She was a dope. But here's the same question, different answer.

503
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyah who is not listening.

504
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 6: We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for

505
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 6: the United States to be clear about where we stand

506
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 6: on the need for this war to end.

507
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: Well, that's a tough one. I mean, not the legal part.

508
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 3: I'm not interested in that part. But that's a tough

509
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 3: one from a like even a news standpoint, I mean

510
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: because normally, yeah, you're interviewing.

511
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: Whether it's a politician or a coach or whoever you

512
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: tried it, you just try to get it down to

513
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: the answer.

514
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 3: You had a question and you want the answer, and

515
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 3: you want to give the answer to the people who

516
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 3: are watching her listening, and you want to be short

517
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 3: and interesting and easily understood.

518
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 2: But in the case of.

519
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, because she was such a meandering dope God,

520
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: the story is the long, meandering dopiness. That is the story.

521
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 3: What she she doesn't say anything? Ever, I don't know

522
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 3: from a like even a journalistic standpoint, would I think

523
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 3: how you should handle that? I mean, if you hadn't

524
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: unlike all other politicians, editing her at all was significant

525
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 3: to the interview. Yeah, yeah, I get it. I mean,

526
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: what was the total on the words there that I mentioned.

527
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 3: This is from the New York Posts counting of it.

528
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 3: She gave the total answer, which I don't think we

529
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 3: you can. The whole thing is out now. I started

530
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 3: watching yesterday. It's like an hour long. But the whole

531
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 3: thing is out there, and I'll have to watch us later.

532
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 3: They didn't er it in the sixty minutes interview, the

533
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: whole thing at all.

534
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 2: But Kamala Harris gave.

535
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 3: A one hundred and seventy nine word answer to that question,

536
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: and then sixty minutes cut it down to twenty words,

537
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 3: which still sounds dumb. She still sounds like she has

538
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 3: no idea what she's talking about, Well, that first version

539
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: was I was like, oh, that's right, Yeah, boy, she's

540
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 3: that dumb. But that's the Trump that's the twenty one

541
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 3: that's the twenty word version that they edited it down to.

542
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: I want to hear the whole herd seventy nine words?

543
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: The hell does she saying? Good Lord? Keeping in mind

544
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: she only lost because of misogyny and racism according to

545
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: the new head of the DNC.

546
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think what's going to come out

547
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 3: of this, And like, looking at that New York Times subhead,

548
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: people are gonna hear see Trump sues sixty minutes, turns

549
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: out sixty minutes did edit it. I think that's what's

550
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: going to be in the the ether of the conversation

551
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 3: about this. Yeah, if it becomes against the law to

552
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 3: edit answers at all, I don't know how we would

553
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 3: even move forward as a species, those of us who

554
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 3: play clips for a living.

555
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 2: And if you're not familiar with this, politicians, especially if

556
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: they're in an even semi hostile forum, we'll try to

557
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: filibuster you. Yeah, you'll ask them, are you going to

558
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: vote for the Jones Amendment? And five and a half

559
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 2: minutes of rambling. Later you'll finally finally be like, can

560
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: we redirect plays? And they do that intentionally, so you

561
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: have to edit.

562
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point right there. It's often to

563
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 3: not have to answer the question and BORI to death,

564
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 3: or knowing that you're gonna have to get to a

565
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: break at some point.

566
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of horror movies. I just

567
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: I don't take them. But if I want to be horrified,

568
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,719
Speaker 2: I'll sit around in daydream for five minutes about what

569
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 2: it would have been like if Kamala had won and

570
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: we were going one hundred miles per hour down the

571
00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 2: road of DEI and white guilt and men playing women

572
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 2: sports and squandering money in the ridiculous USAID programs, one

573
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: hundred different examples.

574
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 3: It's too terrible to contemplate. We you know, I believe

575
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: in the parallel universe thing. I want to I want

576
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: Elon to put me on a spaceship to go to

577
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: the parallel universe where she won and see how it's

578
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 3: playing out. Holy cow, no kidding, man. You talk about

579
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 3: a different next four years.

580
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 2: Well, in foreign policy wise, what are our adversaries going

581
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: to do with President Kamalaw in charge?

582
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty Show.

583
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: See Armstrong and Getty Show Joey three years are working together.

584
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 3: This is the low moment, right so, at the end

585
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: of the last segment, you're about to hear it. I'm

586
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 3: I struggled, Joe said, it was off the air. He

587
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 3: said during the commercials, that is the worst moment. And

588
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 3: thirty years of doing this show, listen to this. Katie's

589
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 3: already laughing. She will not soon be cleared.

590
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear it again. I'm not looking

591
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: forward to hearing it again.

592
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: I can explain myself, I think, well, I can't really

593
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: explain it, but I know what happened anyway. This is

594
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 3: how it sounded. What you're about to hear happen like

595
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 3: six minutes ago.

596
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: Spacing off and daydreaming is incredibly important, as is sleep,

597
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: hope you are well or on the strong, Oh beautiful,

598
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: beautiful again, Michael. Spacing off and daydreaming is incredibly important,

599
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: as is sleep, hope you are well or at So

600
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: I was trying.

601
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: I was in my mind what I was going to say,

602
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: and usually, as a person who speaks for a living,

603
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: what I have in my mind can come out of

604
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 3: my mouth quite quickly event or an alternative version. And

605
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 3: I've never felt physically this. I've never felt this before.

606
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 3: My tongue it felt like it was three times its

607
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 3: normal size, and it just or all nor some point

608
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 3: happened with my jaw on my tongue. I hope it's

609
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 3: not the beginning of a horrible disease or something that

610
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: I'm about to.

611
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: Find out that would be unfortunate, And I feel bad

612
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 2: about my giggling. Just all of a sudden, my mouth

613
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 2: would not.

614
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 3: Work or.

615
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: Well. See, I thought it was because if we're up

616
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 2: against a heard break, which means there's no flexibility, we

617
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: have to take it at that very second. Michael will

618
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 2: count us down last ten seconds. And I could see

619
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 2: you looking at your phone or notes or something like

620
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 2: that as Michael was counting down, and as he got

621
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: down a three to one, I could tell you weren't

622
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 2: aware of it, and you looked up mid sentence with

623
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 2: one second left, and I assume your brain just locked up.

624
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 3: Or all no on the I don't think that was

625
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 3: it all because I was I don't think that was

626
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 3: it because I was trying to read what it was alternative.

627
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 2: I was trying to read and it just hung for hours.

628
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 3: My words are hard exactly A hope you are well

629
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 3: or all no on the wow car.

630
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's what it is.

631
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 3: I have been making my car payment or house payment

632
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 3: as a broadcaster for forty one years, and that is

633
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 3: the worst moment I've ever heard.

634
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: It was a good run. That was my worst moment

635
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: right there. I just came across, not long ago, one

636
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: of the most beautiful and touching things that I've seen

637
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: in a very long time. And that is a farewell

638
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: message from me a love. Do you recognize that name?

639
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: She was the young black woman who's elected the Congress

640
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: in Utah. She'd been a mayor and stuff like that.

641
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: She was the first black woman Republican in the House

642
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 2: of Representatives and really interesting person. She died recently of

643
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: brain cancer, and she wrote what she said not a

644
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: good was not a goodbye message, but a thank you message.

645
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: And it is absolutely beautiful. And again I wish I

646
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: had time for more, but I'll give you a little

647
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: bit of it. Dear friends, fellow Americans in Utah. And

648
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: so I'm taking up my pen not to say goodbye,

649
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: but to say thank you and express my living wish

650
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 2: for you and the America I know, And then she

651
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 2: describes the end of the battle with brain cancer and

652
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 2: why she and her family have decided that now it's

653
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 2: time to just be with each other as posed more treatments.

654
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: Anybody who's gone through that terrible experience notes which she's

655
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 2: talking about. As mayor, member of Congress, and media commentator,

656
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 2: I've seen the worst of petty politics, devisive rhetoric, and

657
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 2: disappointing lapses of moral character by some. These same roles

658
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 2: also provided me a front row seat and a backstage

659
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 2: pass to be blessed and inspired by the courage, vision,

660
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 2: and hope of America's finest daughters, sons, and citizens. Couching

661
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: this column as a dying wish felt a little dramatic,

662
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 2: even for a drama person like me. We are not

663
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: certain how long the season of my battle will be,

664
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 2: and I do want to share and reshare some things

665
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: with the world that I passionately believe. I write all

666
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 2: of this as my living wish and hopefully enduring wish

667
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 2: for you. Let me tell you about the America I know.

668
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: My parents immigrated into the United States with ten dollars

669
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: in their pocket and a belief that the America they

670
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 2: heard about really did exist as the land of opportunity.

671
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: Through hard work and great sacrifice, they achieved success. So

672
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: the America I came to know growing up was filled

673
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: with all the excitement found in living the American dream.

674
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 2: I was taught to love this country warts and all,

675
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: and I understand I had a role to play in

676
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 2: our nation future. I learned to passionately believe in the

677
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: possibilities and promise of America. And she talks a lot

678
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 2: about watching her mom and dad work our odd jobs

679
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 2: to provide for the kids and the education that they got.

680
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 3: God, I hate to turn this negative, but that's what

681
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 3: I do. It makes me nuts that there are so

682
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 3: many children of privilege on college campuses. I mean, you

683
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 3: grew up an upper class lifestyle. Now you're at an

684
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 3: expensive university and you're down and sad in our anxiety

685
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 3: medicine and became angry because you believe the country so

686
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 3: off awful and you can't make it right. Oh right,

687
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: That just to me, You know, I dole hands are

688
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 3: the devil's playthings. That just shows the corrosive power of

689
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 3: lack of purpose. And anyway, and this part I love too,

690
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 3: Watching my mother and father work odd jobs in order

691
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 3: to provide for us and maintain their independence. Taught me

692
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 3: valuable lessons and personal responsibility. When tough times came, they

693
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 3: didn't look to Washington. They looked within, because the America

694
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 3: they knew was centered in self reliance. The America I

695
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 3: know is founded and the freedom self reliance always brings.

696
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 3: What makes America great is the idea that when government

697
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 3: is limited and decisions are made closest to the people

698
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 3: they impact. People are free, free to work, free to live,

699
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 3: free to choose, free to fail, and free to achieve.

700
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 3: The America I know provides everyone an equal opportunity to

701
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 3: be as unequal as they choose to be. We will

702
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 3: have a link to this entire essay at Armstrong and

703
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 3: getty dot com. I suggest you very strongly you read

704
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 3: it because there's a lot more to it. What said

705
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 3: saying of whether you think you can or you think

706
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 3: you can't, you're right, you're right. It reminds me of

707
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 3: that with the philosophy of you either believe this is

708
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 3: a country where you can work hard and make it,

709
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 3: or you don't. You believe that that's a lie that

710
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 3: people tell you. I've heard Bruce Springsteen say that they

711
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 3: push this lie that you work hard and you'll make it.

712
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 2: Nephew Bruce, Oh my god. Yeah.
