1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 2: Arm Strong and jet Tiki and he Armstrong and Yetti. 4 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 3: In addition to those twenty living Israeli hostages, we were 5 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 3: also expecting to see the remains of a further twenty 6 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 3: eight deceased Israeli hostages. Now we did see those four 7 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 3: coffins earlier that emerged from Gaza into Israel, so those 8 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 3: families can finally have some closure and grief. But that 9 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 3: clocked in hostages square and it has been taking count 10 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 3: of every minute, every hour, every day since those hostages 11 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 3: were first taken on October seven. That clock will continue 12 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 3: to tick until all of the bodies of all of 13 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 3: the hostages are finally home. 14 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's clearest award on seeing. And I don't 15 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: mind that people were using that kind of language because 16 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: I understand why. It's the this is as good as 17 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 2: it's gonna get given the circumstances. We want the life 18 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 2: people to get back blah blah blah. But it's since 19 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: we Joe and I can't you know, upend world peace 20 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: the way you know, some politicians are major news outlets. 21 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: Could I can say out loud to say that the 22 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: deceased will be returned as opposed to the murdered or 23 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 2: the torture to death or ex starved. Is you know, 24 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: really something Again, I understand why they're doing it, because 25 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: you don't want to cause any waves. I mean, this 26 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: is good for everybody. It's good for everybody to have 27 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: this happen. 28 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 4: Mm yeah, I would agree, but the point remains, Yeah, 29 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 4: these people did not die of old age. They were 30 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 4: either shot or starved to death or tortured or whatever, 31 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 4: or died of easily treatable diseases. And I would never 32 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 4: ever defend Hamas on any level. But they're saying, look, 33 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 4: we've lost track of where some of the bodies are. 34 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 4: Israel was bombing the bi Allah out of them, and 35 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 4: so I could see where perhaps when you're running for 36 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 4: your life, you don't bother, you know, bringing the remains 37 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 4: of some of your victims along side. And they certainly 38 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 4: don't care about the dead Jews, No, and the sensitivity 39 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 4: of those still alive who want to retrieve the body. 40 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 4: So yeah that I suspect the remains of a number 41 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 4: of the hostages will never be restored. You know, it 42 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 4: occurs to me in the midst of all this serious 43 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 4: discussion that it was Keir Starmer, wasn't it who unleashed 44 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 4: the worst bond, the worst gaff in the history of misspeaking. 45 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 2: You have that for us, Michael, here we go those 46 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 2: our clip of the year last year. I think no, 47 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: was it. I think it was cool again for the 48 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 2: media Ceasepy and Gaza, the return of the Sussigle the hostacle. 49 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 4: Because it's so tragic and terrible and serious. It's tough 50 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 4: to enjoy that idiotic gaff as much as I should also, 51 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 4: And Michael, I'm glad you played the longer version of that. 52 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 4: I'm reminded of the fact that Starmer and Biden and 53 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 4: Harris and Blinking and all those people prolonged this conflict 54 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 4: by telling Israel don't drive Hamas into a position in desperation. 55 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: That's the one thing you must not do. 56 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 4: Pull punches, stop, stop hitting them. It would have gone 57 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 4: on forever, it'd be going on five years from now 58 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 4: if those people were in charge. 59 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: Yep, no doubt. Anyway. On a cheerier note, this. 60 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 5: A two years of pent up anguish unleashed in an 61 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 5: instant one after another. Any newly freed hostages in their 62 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 5: families hug, cry, kiss, scream, and pray, did I say, 63 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 5: reveling in their new, almost unbelievable reality, Their nightmare is 64 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 5: finally over. 65 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 4: Those scenes of reuniting were if you didn't have a 66 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 4: tear in your eye, you're a hard hearted human. They 67 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 4: were amazing and I can't even imagine the anguish. And 68 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 4: then there's the families that will never know the joy 69 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 4: at the end of the anguish, unfortunately, but it was 70 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 4: an amazing achievement. Play Hillary Clinton fifty three, Michael Wija. 71 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 6: It's a really significant first step, and I really commend 72 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 6: President Trump and his administration, as well as Arab leaders 73 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 6: in the region. 74 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 4: We have a trio of David's, Jack Drucker, French and Ignacious. 75 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 4: I know I want to get to Ignacious, not Lee Roth, 76 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 4: Not David Lee Roth. He did not make the list today, 77 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 4: only the top three Davids. 78 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 2: Do we all know the rules? 79 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 4: I'm kind of curious to hear what Drucker has to say. Michael, 80 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 4: give us fifty. 81 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: Four, would you? What it was accomplished yesterday? 82 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 7: And what we saw yesterday was a really big deal. 83 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 7: All the while he had a lot of conventional standard 84 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 7: negotiating going on on multiple tracks. So rather than fighting 85 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 7: with an ally creating a trade war or a diplomatic war, 86 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 7: rather than insulting the Allies voters, he creates the space 87 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 7: to have the support and leverage to use in this instance. 88 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 7: And I think it's a good lesson for the President 89 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 7: as he looks. 90 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: At during nonsense. 91 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 4: Okay, he's trying to teach Trump how to do his job. 92 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 4: That's fine. I wondered if that was a misprint. Trump 93 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 4: acted conventionally. It says, wow, wow, I'd like to tell 94 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 4: talk to David about that. Let's try another David. That 95 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 4: one won't do. David Ignatius fifty six. 96 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 8: It's important to move quickly, as quickly as possible to 97 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 8: the second phase of this comprehensive peace deal, and what 98 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 8: that means is getting in place the countries that have 99 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 8: agreed to take part in an international security force and 100 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 8: quickly train up vetted Palestinian gossen police, people who can 101 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 8: keep order, who can replace hamas police wherever possible. This 102 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 8: is not going to be a bloodless process. The international 103 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 8: force and the new Palestinian security Force are going to 104 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 8: take casualties so that's going to be the test of 105 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 8: whether this is serious. This is going to be I 106 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 8: suspect for some months a low level insurgency. Hamas can't 107 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 8: threaten Israel itself anymore. That's over, but it can try 108 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 8: to hold onto the territory it has. 109 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 4: They're dead enders, They've always been dead enders. I doubt 110 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 4: they'll change their stripes. They need to be wiped out. 111 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: So's David Ignatius of The Washington Post. We haven't. So 112 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: we don't have Lee, Roth or Bowie or Beckham dead. 113 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: Claire David Bowie has passed letterman or swimmer. David David 114 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: Beckham was not a bad Attenborough. That's the battle of 115 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: the David Jumee, Foster Wallace, Sedaris, David Robinson, Michelangelo's David. 116 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 4: Michelangelo's David again he's not with us, Yeah, yeah, you know. 117 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 4: Walter Russell Mead, who's a great writer, he said he has, 118 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 4: you know, essentially the five big takeaways I guess from 119 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,559 Speaker 4: October thirteenth, the return of the hostages, and the second 120 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 4: he says is that only mister Trump could have made 121 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 4: this happen. No other living politician could have reassured Israel 122 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 4: threatened to Moss and hatched together a broad Arab coalition 123 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 4: the way he has done. Mister Trump has his shortcomings, 124 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 4: and even he wonders if he will get into heaven. 125 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 4: But he is a leader who bestrides the world scene 126 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 4: like no other. 127 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: He is he absolutely is this. I didn't know where 128 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: I wanted to put this, but this is interesting. So 129 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: Mark Halpern had this today in his newsletter. He didn't 130 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: say who it is, but it's from a well known 131 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 2: thinker who hates Donald Trump. Absolutely hates Donald Trump. But 132 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: I thought this was interesting what he wrote. As a 133 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 2: Trump hater, bbe plowed the field, wit Coffin, Kushner cultivated 134 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 2: the archerd. Donald insisted the peaches ripe, which is an 135 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: interesting phrase, and the time was now to make the 136 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: pie none conventional politicians. It took more than Trump, but 137 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 2: Trump embodying US power as no president since Lincoln was 138 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: uniquely essential. The hard part. And this is from a 139 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 2: Trump hater, but again I think this is interesting. Trump is, 140 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: by orientation, truly a bastard. How can such a sensibility 141 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: have done so much good? I can't get my head 142 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: around it. Nonetheless, I not only accept it, I delight 143 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 2: in the iron of it. It's funny. It's very funny. 144 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: Don't misunderstand me. I still hate Trump. He's despicable and 145 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 2: I can't abide by that. But somewhere deep inside I 146 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: feel I somehow am in danger of being like him. 147 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: I mean, civilization can't work on his moral compass, yet 148 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: it can't work without him. 149 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 4: There's too much to process here. Yeah, that's funny. I 150 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 4: think they're maybe overthinking it. It became incredibly unfashionable to 151 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 4: exercise US power after Vietnam and then Iraq, and they're 152 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 4: a kind of a weird moral code grew up around 153 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 4: that hesitation that it was distasteful and wrong. And Barack Obama, hell, 154 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 4: he's probably made a speech that says this, Essentially, the 155 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 4: only reason anybody would ever use the military or military 156 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 4: force is because they're not as skillful a negotiator as 157 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 4: I am. We can use incentives and negotiation and accomplish 158 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 4: everything war could could in the past, and we're far 159 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 4: more refined than that. 160 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: And Trump is a bastard. 161 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 4: But I would I would suggest, even if you're Barack 162 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 4: Obama or or you know anybody, if you're an American 163 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 4: president and you're not willing to be a brutal bastard 164 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 4: when it's necessary. You have no business being in charge 165 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 4: of a superpower. Well, you have to have complete credibility. 166 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 4: You can't pretend it. You can't say stop like Biden 167 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 4: and Harris did when nobody everybody knew they weren't going 168 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 4: to actually do anything.

She was so frustrated in 241 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 9: the situation, and that is why she has been now 242 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 9: charged with bullying, harassment, and intimidation for misgendering this person. 243 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: There you go, Washington State. 244 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 4: If is a fifth eighteen year old girl you object 245 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 4: to playing against a grown man and say that's a man, 246 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 4: you're charged with bullying, harassment, intimidation, and misgendering.

Let's end the update with 265 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 4: a note of absurdity. There was recently a college basketball 266 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 4: volleyball game match in Canada in which three men were 267 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 4: playing for one women's team and two men were on 268 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 4: the other. The team with more men ended up winning 269 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 4: the match. Both teams had multiple dudes on them. As 270 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 4: one person said, this is the reductio ad absurdism of 271 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 4: the woke mind virus. 272 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 2: That's incredible. 273 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, it is. It's a gender bending madness update. 274 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: Holy crap. I know, I know, and you know. 275 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 4: Some days I feel like we're making the progress, the 276 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 4: fact that these things are still happening. 277 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: Now we have miles to go before we sleep, and 278 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 2: people who need to protect the infrastructure of it because 279 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 2: they're scared to speak out. It's just wow, Armstrong. 280 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 4: Andy and Munsi Sky's won to center field hit well, 281 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 4: this one's got a chance. 282 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 2: Fail well, back to the wall, he leaves, it's. 283 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 10: In and out, his down going to caught it, and 284 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 10: now chaos on the basis might have a play at 285 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 10: the plate. The throw not in time come, he's out. 286 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 10: He's out. It's a force play at the plate and 287 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 10: he is out. That all of this is going to 288 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 10: be reviewed. 289 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 2: That is not your typical double plate. No, it is 290 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 2: going to be reviewed. 291 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 4: In fact, the Supreme Court has agreed to take on 292 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 4: that play this session as they should. Amazing play by 293 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 4: the Brewers against the Dodgers, although the Dodgers went on 294 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 4: to win against the best team in the regular season. 295 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 4: So Seattle's up to nothing, Dodgers up one nothing. Major 296 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 4: League Baseball and the networks a I'm sure, are hoping 297 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 4: not to have a Brewers Mariners or Brewers Toronto World Series, 298 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 4: which would not get very good ratings. 299 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:23,959 Speaker 2: Hoping the Dodgers are in there. I guess we went 300 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 2: to the big Hall of the you know the Halloweens, 301 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 2: the pop up Halloween stores that happened in every town 302 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 2: in America, you know those, And it's a good idea. 303 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: I don't know how the whole pop up thing works. 304 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 2: I should look into it. I'll bet it's pretty fascinating 305 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 2: from a business standpoint. The way that whole thing works. 306 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 2: You find a retail space that's empty, you make some deals, 307 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 2: and you decide two months this is going to be 308 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 2: our Valentine's Day store or our Halloween store or whatever 309 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 2: it is. And when we got one of those giant 310 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: halloween stores, and so they got all the stuff set 311 00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 2: up in there, and they usually have. They had the 312 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 2: scary stuff is set up, and they got it turned 313 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 2: on and you can go. There's a button you can 314 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 2: press with your foot to make them do their thing. 315 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 2: And they had some sort of witch character there that 316 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 2: I didn't know what it was gonna do. But you know, 317 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 2: it's not like I'm surprised, or you wouldn't think I 318 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 2: would be surprised, because I know it's going to do something. 319 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 2: So I walk up to the witch character thing they 320 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 2: got in the big Halloween store. I put my foot 321 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 2: on the thing and it looked far really fast with 322 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 2: its mouth thought and I poatly whipped about wet my pants. 323 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 2: It was very, very embarrassing, and children laughed at me, 324 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: and I did not like that at all. But anyway, 325 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 2: so every year I buy one more thing to add 326 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: to the yard. A couple of years ago it was 327 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 2: the giant inflatable pumpkin that I put in, and that's 328 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 2: twenty feet tall and that everybody loves that, including the 329 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 2: neighbors when they come over to my house and say, hey, 330 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 2: the wind took your pumpkin down the street and you 331 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: need to go get it. And I have to go 332 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 2: get the giant inflatable pumpkin from two blocks down the road. 333 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 2: But this year, my son thought the thing to buy 334 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 2: would be. It was it's called a dummy. I guess 335 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: it's basically a life size mannequin and then you can 336 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 2: dress it however you want. And I thought that, yeah, 337 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 2: I thought that'd be kind of cool, uh to have 338 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 2: around the house. But it's ended up everybody has scared 339 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: the crap out of themselves with it, and we're not 340 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: trying to do it. It's just having it. Sit around someplace, 341 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: and I did it again this morning. I come out 342 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 2: and it's sitting in the tight table just because there's 343 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 2: somebody there and you're not expecting him. It's got pants 344 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 2: and a shirt and a hat on, and it's happened 345 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 2: to everybody coming in the kitchen wall. It's pretty fun. 346 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 2: Of course. 347 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 4: The real classic is you've got one of those and 348 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 4: then you dressed just like it and you more at 349 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 4: the kid. 350 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 2: Oh that's a good idea. I've not done that. I 351 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 2: don't I live in a cul de sac. Last year, 352 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,239 Speaker 2: I think we got three kids, so I don't know 353 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:52,239 Speaker 2: to do that. But that's a good idea. So you 354 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 2: sit there next to the mannequin and people think they're 355 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: both mannequins. 356 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, or you use the mannequin one year than you 357 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 4: the next year. There are variation. 358 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 2: And well, you had the fog machine. See, you had 359 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 2: the whole thing going, you know, a bitter and lightning. 360 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 2: You went big. That's very very good. Yeah. Yeah, other 361 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 2: than scaring the crap out of myself, I gotta tell 362 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 2: my son, don't set it at the kitchen table where 363 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 2: I get up early in the morning and I go 364 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: flip on the light and or somebody's sitting there. 365 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 4: Prop it up in the doorway so I can see 366 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 4: it when I wake up. Put it at the foot 367 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 4: of my bed. 368 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 2: Leaning over me. All right, Oh my god, Oh you 369 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: have myself the Willy's even thinking about that. That's funny. 370 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 2: That's a good way to figure out your fight flight 371 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 2: or freeze response if there's an intruder in your house. 372 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 2: You know, we all often talk about you don't know 373 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 2: how you'd act until it happened. I guess the way 374 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 2: I would act if I flipped on the kitchen light 375 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 2: and there's somebody sitting at the tables, I'd go, ah, 376 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 2: because that's what I did this morning. Ah, what am 377 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 2: I supposed to do? I'm supposed to immediately go into 378 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 2: a crouch in a judo position, quietly ready to take 379 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 2: them on. And I screamed at the top of my 380 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 2: lungs and waved my hands like this. I'm glad you 381 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 2: didn't shoot it. That'd be something. Oh I have fire 382 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 2: off four or five shots center ass. Oh boy. So 383 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: do you want to get to Gavin Newsom coming up 384 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 2: before we get to the top of the hour next segment, 385 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 2: or what do you want to do? 386 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 4: You know, I'm taking a look at it. It might 387 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 4: work better as the one More Thing podcast. Honestly, I 388 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 4: like that because there's a lot there, and I'd hate 389 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 4: to be in such a hurry we have to rush 390 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 4: through it. None other than the Wall Street Journal has 391 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 4: written an article about the six seven phenomenon craze among children. 392 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I talked about that last week. That's right, 393 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 2: six seven. 394 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 4: Numbers six and seven are making life hell for math teachers, right, 395 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 4: and it comes from a rap song. 396 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 2: I mentioned it to my son and he said, Dad, 397 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 2: that is so old. Nobody does that anymore. Okay, Well, 398 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 2: I'm just learning about it now. And there's been several 399 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 2: articles about it and teachers who creatively come up with 400 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: a I'll give you six minutes to write a seven 401 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: sentence paragraph, and everybody likes it because it's six. 402 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 4: Seven right, right, And they quote a handful of math 403 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 4: teachers who say, we've just got to avoid it completely, 404 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 4: maybe maybe giving into it some better strategy, like you 405 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 4: pointed out. If you're like, hey, you need to do 406 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 4: a question six and seven, they just immediately start yelling 407 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 4: six seven and doing the weird seesaw hand gesture that 408 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 4: looks somewhere between juggling and melon handling. 409 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 2: Well, they're saying there's something bigger going on here, though 410 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 2: I think the like this probably makes no sense to 411 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: you whatsoever. There is a song where they mentioned six 412 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 2: seven and it just caught on what I think is 413 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,239 Speaker 2: going on here. And it's like with skimmity toilet from 414 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. It didn't it didn't mean anything. 415 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 2: Six seven doesn't mean anything. It's got to do with 416 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 2: our lack of shared experiences. I think we desire as 417 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 2: human beings shared experiences so much, and because of modern society, 418 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 2: we don't have it. Because when I was a kid, 419 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 2: we would come in on a Wednesday morning and talk 420 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 2: about Happy Days episode on television from last night because 421 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 2: we all watched it together. That doesn't exist anymore. So 422 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 2: you have to manufacture these shared experiences because we crave 423 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 2: them so much. And just somebody saying skippity toilet and 424 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 2: you know what it means, and they know what it means, 425 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: and you get to recognize that fills you with some 426 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 2: sort of needed emotion. Oh, that these completely manufactured common 427 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 2: experiences have been created. I wish i'd known you had 428 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 2: that screen ready. 429 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 4: I'd have asked you to hold off because the person 430 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 4: who writes this article and it's funny. It's masquerading as 431 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 4: a news article, but like a lot of news these days, 432 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 4: it's opinions, writes the memes meaning, and its whole point 433 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 4: is that it has no meaning. Yeah, maybe a French 434 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 4: philosopher Albert Camouf had TikTok could explain it. 435 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 2: The fact is six seven is not funny toilet. It 436 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 2: didn't mean anything other than I know it and you 437 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 2: know it right to. 438 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 4: Get into that, the meme is a prime example of 439 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 4: brain rot, the internet junk food consumed by people of 440 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 4: all ages to suck away time, productivity, and the living 441 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 4: of life. Kids have been saying six to seven for 442 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 4: about sorry, six or seven months since the spring, but 443 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 4: the recent return to school has supercharged the trend. 444 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 2: Then they mentioned skivity toilet. My god, you know it 445 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,719 Speaker 2: might be a prime example of brain rot. But I 446 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 2: think you're right. Yeah, I don't think it has to 447 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: be brain rot. I think it's our we're just trying 448 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 2: to grasp. Clearly, it's human nature and we're trying to 449 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 2: grasp some shared experience to feel a connection. That's what 450 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 2: it is. It doesn't have to be a negative. I 451 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 2: guess it's a negative overall that we don't we have 452 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 2: so few shared experiences anymore, that we have to resort 453 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 2: to things so stupid. It drove my son, my youngest son, nut. 454 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: He couldn't stand. One of the things he couldn't stand 455 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 2: about school briefly when he was in an actual school, 456 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 2: was uh, these memes that would crop up, And he said, 457 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 2: but it doesn't mean anything, and everybody says it and laughs, 458 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 2: and it's got no meaning. 459 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 4: It would drive him crazy, right, Yeah, Well, rapper Scrilla 460 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 4: Yeah song dut dute six seven includes the phrase six seven, 461 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 4: a reference to sixty seventh Street in Philadelphia, where many 462 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 4: of his friends grew up. 463 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 2: Yeah is now raking it in at concerts. I think adults, teachers, 464 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 2: everyone would be better off if they recognize you don't 465 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 2: need to go searching for what it means. Right. What 466 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: it means is we have some connectivity between us. That's 467 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 2: what it means. 468 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 4: One matth YouTuber says this is very close to middle 469 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 4: schooler's previous favorite number sixty nine. There's some relief for 470 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 4: teachers that this meme is not sexual.

Wow. Wow, 477 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 2: it's just a common experience. This isn't going away. This 478 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 2: is going to be the rest of our lives because 479 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 2: we don't have those common experiences anymore.

That's sixty percent off for a limited time, 505 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 4: but only when you go to webroot dot com slash armstrong. 506 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 2: So I guess what I should hope is that instead 507 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 2: of screaming and waving my arms I should have like 508 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 2: immediately gone into a crouch roundhouse kick to the head 509 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 2: of the dummy, knocking it to the floor and then 510 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 2: over it with like a death blow before I recognize 511 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 2: it's inanimate. 512 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 4: Right, well, then go ahead and administer that death blow 513 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 4: to the dummy, because you rarely get a chance to 514 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 4: practice it in real life. 515 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 2: Five finger death punch, if you will. How fast does 516 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 2: the human brain work? Has anybody ever measured that? From 517 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 2: the light comes on, my brain believes there's a person 518 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 2: sitting there. There's not supposed to be someone sitting there. 519 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 2: Fear kicks in then memory of the oh yeah, it's 520 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 2: the dummy. I mean, how long is that whole span 521 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 2: of time? Like a millionth of a second? Sure it 522 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 2: might be ass second, it's not very long, one one thousand, 523 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 2: it's about a second. I'll bet that's wild. It's a 524 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 2: bad feeling, i'd say. And then you got to get 525 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 2: new underwear on Could you weight yourself? We got more 526 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 2: on the way if you missed a seconde get the 527 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 2: podcast Armstrong and get you on demand. 528 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 11: We had driven for two hours and needed to stop. 529 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 11: For gasp. My husband gets out of the car and 530 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 11: it's like the cat is on the roof and we're like, 531 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 11: what what do we do? 532 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 5: We're already so far into the trip. 533 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 11: We have a long way to go to get to 534 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 11: New Hampshire. My husband says he's just gonna have to 535 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 11: come with us, and he had such a good time 536 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 11: and a great you know, adventure. So I actually did 537 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 11: videos and pictures everywhere we went of him. 538 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 2: So at what point did they realize the cat was 539 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 2: on the roof? One hundred miles? How did the cat? 540 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 2: Which point? 541 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 4: Dad said? Bad news, kids, We got to drive another 542 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 4: hundred miles. It's still up there. 543 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 2: Why what was it in a container? Or how did 544 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 2: enough fly off? It's just clinging to the roof, right, Michael, Yeah, 545 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 2: how I understand it, just clinging to the roof. Wow, 546 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 2: all right, thank you. I'm glad the cats are right, 547 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 2: doug in its claws, thank god. Yes, poor little pussy cats. Yes. 548 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 4: Uh, here's more about retirement and Germany than you ever 549 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:01,479 Speaker 4: wanted to know. 550 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 2: Free press reporting the government. 551 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 4: A government panel in Germany is proposed raising the country's 552 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 4: retirement age to seventy three to prevent the collapse of 553 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 4: their pension system. 554 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 2: Seventy three yeah. 555 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 4: Meanwhile in France they're retiring at what age twenty six 556 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 4: or whatever it is? 557 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 2: Seventy three yeah. 558 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 4: The authors of the report right quote, we will have 559 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 4: to work more if we want to maintain the scope 560 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 4: of the social security system without simultaneously leaving even larger 561 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 4: burdens for future generations. 562 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 2: You know what's interesting about that, while seventy three I 563 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 2: think makes most of us go ah, is when we 564 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 2: originally set up Social security, life expectancy was so much different. 565 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 2: It was basically the same thing. I mean, the idea 566 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 2: was most of you aren't going to make it that long, right, 567 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 2: so those of you that do at sixty five, you 568 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 2: can quit. 569 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 4: Well, right in fact, excellent, excellent observation. One of the 570 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 4: next things they mentioned is, quote the retirement age must 571 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 4: be linked to life expectancy. 572 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 2: So interesting the. 573 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 4: Gentleman's saying, we're not going to spend our kids and 574 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 4: grandkids into you know, crippling indebtedness, and we've got to 575 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 4: be realistic about how long people are living. 576 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 2: Now. 577 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 4: Whether this actually passes or not, I do not know, 578 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 4: but that's what the report says. 579 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, you're just being honest about it. You know 580 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 2: how mad I've been about this for so long. When 581 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: Barack Obama said everyone deserves a dignified retirement. Who came 582 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 2: up with this everyone deserves to retire idea? I mean, 583 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 2: that's completely a manufactured notion that you get to quit 584 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 2: working at some point and live off of something else. 585 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 2: That's not the way the animals are built. Human beings 586 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 2: are built. That we created this. 587 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 4: Concept, right, Societies have never been built around that idea. 588 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,239 Speaker 4: I mean, maybe you saved enough that you could and 589 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 4: that's great, or maybe your family took care of he 590 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 4: or whatever. Yeah, the assumption that well, the assumption of 591 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 4: the assumption is wrong. 592 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 2: Anyway. 593 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 4: Meanwhile, literally in your fifties, you can retire in France 594 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 4: and live the rest of your life sucking off the 595 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 4: government teat which doesn't sound bent. Also, one more thing 596 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 4: about Europe, the government. 597 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 2: This is so interesting. 598 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 4: In the Free Press, they're talking about why zero of 599 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 4: the top twenty five largest companies on Earth are in Europe, 600 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 4: not a single one of them, and they talk about 601 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 4: why that is partly you can never ever fire anyone. 602 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 4: The economist has a brutal analysis with a paragraph you 603 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 4: need to read, says, so I'll read it. There are 604 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 4: two ways for Western companies to sack lots of people. 605 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 4: The American one involves the boss inviting hundreds of unsuspecting 606 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 4: employees on a zoom call, offering them a few months 607 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 4: wages as severance, and insincerely wishing them luck in their 608 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 4: future endeavors. Oh and by the way, have your desk 609 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 4: cleared off by lunchtime. The European method is different. Companies 610 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,720 Speaker 4: waiting to enact mass layoffs typically start with consultations with unions, 611 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 4: representatives of which sit on companies boards. In Germany, a 612 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 4: social plan is drafted. Strikes inevitably ensue. Politicians get involved 613 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 4: in badger the employer into hiring fewer people than it 614 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 4: had originally planned. Firing fewer rather or to pay for 615 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 4: it soon to be ex staff to be retrained. The 616 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 4: full cost of downsizing is only known once labor courts 617 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 4: are called to rule on the matter years later. Meanwhile, 618 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,439 Speaker 4: the company in question often cannot hire more employees lest 619 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,439 Speaker 4: it be made to hire those who are just let 620 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 4: go who they don't need anymore. That's the creative destruction 621 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 4: of capitalism European style. 622 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 2: You just can't do it. It's not an accident that the 623 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 2: Steve Jobs and Elon Musks and whoever else of the 624 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 2: world almost are always in the United States or come 625 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 2: to the United States. 626 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 4: Right final note, I thought this was really encouraging. We 627 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 4: talked last week about the crime victimization. They said, yes, 628 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 4: crime is way up in American cities, and it's not 629 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 4: Trump fiction. The Department of Justice has launched a probe 630 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 4: into the DC Police Force, accusing them of manipulating crime 631 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 4: data to make it look like the city was safer. 632 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 4: And you got a bunch of cops now going to 633 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 4: the Justice Department and saying, yeah, this has been systematic. 634 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 4: It's been going on for a long time. Here are 635 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 4: a bunch of examples I've compiled. It's good stuff. They 636 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 4: mentioned that the Washington Post reported the story. They actually 637 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 4: used the term DC police officers are feeding information to 638 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 4: the Justice Department. The willing participation of officers in the 639 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 4: investigation could put senior DC police officials under a microscope 640 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 4: like they're mobsters that have gone State's evidence or something 641 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 4: like that. They're cops telling the truth. Why are you 642 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 4: saying they're feeding information to the Justice Department? 643 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,439 Speaker 2: WOWO, we need to get a handle on this whole 644 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 2: crime to sixth thing as a nation. It would benefit absolutely, 645 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 2: benefit absolutely everybody. Now, the lives are too useful. They'll 646 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 2: never let them go. So we do a lot of 647 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 2: segments a lot of hours every single week. If you 648 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 2: miss any or you just want to hear them and 649 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 2: get him played for your friends. Look for the podcast 650 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,919 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty on demand. You should subscribe. Then it'll 651 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 2: actually just show up there automatically. 652 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 4: Play it back half speed. We sound like we're drunk. 653 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 4: It's always amusing. Armstrong and Getty
