1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: Armstrong, and Jettie and no he Armstrong and yetdy. So

4
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: this order will make it socially acceptable for a man

5
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: in his seventies to date a twenty four year olds.

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: That's right.

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: We're calling it the Belichick Law.

8
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: We're gonna make girlfriends young again. Okay, old men can

9
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: nowdate far younger women. We like that. It's hot, but

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: in reverse, it's quite disgusting.

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: Right, very dateline. You know that's funny. That's from Saturday

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: Night Live. The whole Belichick thing. He cannot be digging

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 3: that it's getting more attention than his book. His book

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: has kind of been obscured by the whole Oh wait,

15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: you're dating one of the former cheerleaders you met on

16
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: a to a game.

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah.

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: His whole persona is grumpy and proud, so being the

19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 1: object of ridicule is probably not great.

20
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: It doesn't sit real comfortably.

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 3: Or he's in love and having the time of his

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: life and he doesn't care, which might be his attitude, right,

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 3: which kind of fits in a little bit with uh this.

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: So hold on.

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: Hold on, I'll stand by everybody coughing fit. We have

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: a coughing fit.

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do a couple of days away from a

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: full month of being sick like this, which is crazy.

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: Hold on, I think I can do it.

30
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: You know, we got to be like a music radio

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: show that runs like groovy music in the background to

32
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: make it feel like there's forward momentum.

33
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: That's why they did that. Yeah, it's hard to imagine

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: listening to this radio program.

35
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I could jump in every time you

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: have to cough, but I don't necessarily have anything to

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: say because you're mid sentence.

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: Right, and I've got something planned. So our adult life,

39
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: Warren Buffett has been one of the richest people in

40
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: the world. He's an investor, and he's from my part

41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: of the country, the Oracle of Omaha. I'm from Kansas,

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: and so I just always liked his lives in a

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: little house in a small town, very basic, sort of

44
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: Midwest guy vibe. I've always liked his kind of conservative view,

45
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: like personally conservative view of of you know, long term

46
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: planning and not conspicuous consumption and all.

47
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: That sort of vibe. He also.

48
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: Has said some just freaking horrible things that have been

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 3: just completely out of line that have disrupted our political conversation.

50
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: His his bs my secretary pays lower taxes than I

51
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: do and doesn't write that's not right is one of

52
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: the most misleading and stupid conversations we've had in America.

53
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: So you've got that also. But anyway, he finally stepped

54
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: down over the weekend age ninety three. I think he

55
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: is at the end of the year, isn't he?

56
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 3: He announced HISSI he announced it over the weekend, and

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: he's handing it off to some guy from Iowa that

58
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: I constantly heard. The guy still lives in Des Moines,

59
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: Like it's just so shocking that this guy, who's also

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 3: really rich would stay there. As I was talking about

61
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 3: last week, I personally know people who would rather kill

62
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: themselves than live in New York. But everybody who lives

63
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 3: in New York thinks the only reason we don't live

64
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: in New York is because we haven't figured out how

65
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: to get there.

66
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: It's just I find that so frustrating.

67
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: Do we spend all day longing to live in Manhattan,

68
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: just dreaming of.

69
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: It every day?

70
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 3: We all the rest of us think in La is

71
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: the same way and a bunch of different places, but

72
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: that people are in the country every day get up

73
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 3: and think, I guess I'll go to work, even though

74
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: I don't live in New York or LA.

75
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: I guess there's still some reason to get up.

76
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: All right, fine, right, anyway, So warn Buff's warn Buffet's

77
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: speech on the way out the door. I thought it

78
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: was pretty interesting and will spark conversations. I'm sure he said,

79
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: why doesn't that old rich guy just retire already? He

80
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: must not have a purpose in life outside of money,

81
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: like a lot of people. I used to think that way,

82
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: but it's wrong. Fundamentally, there are two things humans do.

83
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: We produce and we consume.

84
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: That's it.

85
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: Most of us, throughout our lives produce and consume, roughly

86
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: in parody with each other. We make money, and over time,

87
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: even if invest some of it and don't spend it

88
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: immediately after earning it, we expend it.

89
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: All the work we do.

90
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: The economic value we create is offset by the house

91
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: in which we live, the food we eat, the medical

92
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: costs of keeping us alive, the vacations we take, and

93
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: all the myriad other things we consume each day and

94
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: over the course of the years, some of us consume

95
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 3: more than we produce. This requires some type of external subsidy,

96
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: be it a trust fund, charital support, or government benefits,

97
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: like the way he puts government benefits last, Like, that's

98
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: not the first thing.

99
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: That's Oh no, it happens in rare cases. The government

100
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: supports people.

101
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Back to his text, a small number of

102
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: us produce more than we consume, and an even smaller

103
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 3: number produce vastly more than they could ever hope of consuming.

104
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: These people have many different roles and titles. If you

105
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: respect these people and appreciate their contributions to our society, which,

106
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: by the way, I hope you do, because these are

107
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: the people that make it possible for you to eat food.

108
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: You didn't have to grow yourself, live an house.

109
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: You didn't have to build yourself and utilize countless technological innovations.

110
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: You didn't have to invent yourself.

111
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, when are they gonna pay their first share? That's

112
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: what I want to know.

113
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 3: You probably call them builders, creators or inventors, founders, entrepreneurs,

114
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: business leaders, titans of industry, pillars of community.

115
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: That's if you respect them, he said.

116
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 3: If you don't like them, you probably have other terms plutocrats, bourgeoisie, coulos, parasites, vultures,

117
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: hoarders of wealth.

118
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: Is this nineteen nineteen Russia or time.

119
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: It's kind of interesting that he's got this point of

120
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: view that I agree with, while at the same time

121
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: perpetuating that fraud tax statement that he put.

122
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 2: Out there, isn't it? Yeah, that is odd. I mean,

123
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: he'd has to know better. He's a financial genius.

124
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: Anyway, back to what he said, going back to the

125
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: old rich person at the start of this, that guy,

126
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: whether you respect him or not, attained his position in

127
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: society by virtue. Having been a net producer. He's produced

128
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: more than he's consumed. His outputs total more than the

129
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: sum of his inputs. Put simply, he's planted and harvested

130
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: more than he's eaten.

131
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: People who produce.

132
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: Like that over the course of their lives don't do

133
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: so because they want to one day start consuming more.

134
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: Men and women who spend each day as net producers

135
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: don't just switch it off one day and become a

136
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: net consumer. Vacations, rounds of golf, restaurant outings, and movies

137
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: showing simply aren't satisfying to someone whose mind not to

138
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: mention whose heart, whose animating spirit is wired for producing.

139
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: It simply doesn't work that way. You might not understand it.

140
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: You might not understand these people, and that's fine. For

141
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 3: much of my life I didn't either. But don't question

142
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 3: what drives them just because it's not what drives you.

143
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 3: Because these are the men and women who built our society,

144
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: explored new worlds, and vented the wondrous technologies we use

145
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 3: every day, and created the works of art and literature

146
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: we get to enjoy. And they're the ones who will

147
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: keep building, keep creating, and keep making it possible for

148
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: future generations to enjoy these things even greater.

149
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: He is simultaneously right and overstating his case. In my opinion,

150
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: I completely get his point, and it's eloquently put, and

151
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. At the same time, I've known plenty

152
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: I know right now, plenty of people who one hundred

153
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: percent answered to that description and then said, you know what,

154
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: that's enough producing, and now I am going to play

155
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: golf and go out to dinner and go to shows.

156
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: Oh and you know, support charities, and you know I will.

157
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: I will repurpose my life. I suppose you could argue

158
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: they're still producing in a way, but I think it's

159
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: a fairly extreme case or rare case that takes it

160
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: damn near to the foot of the grave. Like Warren

161
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: Buffett will I'm not criticizing, I'm just saying, you're out there.

162
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: That's sort of his point though, that it is a

163
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: small number who are so animated by that that's all

164
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: they want to do.

165
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, clear to the end, right right.

166
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: It sounded like to me he was being a bit

167
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: more broad that if you have that spirit, you never

168
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: lose it, and you work until you have one foot

169
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: in the grave.

170
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: And I'm just I'm not sure that's true. But I

171
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm closer to him than i'm not.

172
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: I just can't imagine enjoying at all, traveling, eating, I

173
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: don't golf, but whatever, I just can't even imagine enjoying

174
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: that at all. That sounds awful to me. Well, this

175
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 3: is why you're a titan of industry. Yeah, so what

176
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: that's the interesting thing? What if you are are are

177
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: not built to do those sorts of things, but you

178
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: don't produce much. I produce, you know, I half produced

179
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: four hours of frivolous talk every day.

180
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: Headaches, headaches, occasion. Yeah, I don't know where that leaves you.

181
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: Interesting question, you know, well to each in their own

182
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, degree whatever.

183
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought that was really interesting.

184
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 3: I liked him standing up for that crowd, you know,

185
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 3: and stop calling us plutocrats and all that other stuff. Well, right,

186
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 3: because we just want to produce as opposed to take. Yeah,

187
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 3: I think he could have been harder on the people

188
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: that only want to take. There's a big crowd out

189
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: of there that is the exact opposite, hundred percent every

190
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 3: It's a continuum obviously, from the produce to the day

191
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 3: you die to the never produce a thing. But there's

192
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 3: a lot of people perfectly happy with not producing a thing.

193
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: I think it makes you miserable, probably a drug eYIC,

194
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: can you die early? But there's a lot of people

195
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: willing to do that.

196
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: Well.

197
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, the actual aerial tables would suggest that you're right.

198
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: Yes.

199
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: On the other hand, many folks, even you, have asked

200
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: how much money do you need? Why do you keep working?

201
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: Why do you keep doing this? Why do you keep

202
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, whatever that person does to acquire more and

203
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: more wealth.

204
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, as he said, he.

205
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: A reasonable question, he asked, that's the answer. Yeah, as

206
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: he said, he asked that question his whole life. As

207
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: I get closer to the end, you know, I'm sick.

208
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: I might be dead by the end of the week.

209
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: As I get closer to the end, I understand where

210
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 3: he's coming from more than I did even two years ago,

211
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 3: I think, and I don't know why, but it's interesting

212
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: that he didn't get it a much of his I mean,

213
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: he's really old. It's not like he's, you know, just

214
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: turned sixty five retiring. He's pushing one hundred. Yeah, yeah,

215
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: thought provoking. Yeah, i'd say so. Elon's probably gonna be

216
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: one of those people. Elon's never gonna say, well, that's

217
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 3: enough of that.

218
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: No, No, I agree completely. My no is a yes,

219
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: but yes, I mean no vice versa. I've lost crack. Yeah, okay, interesting, Warren.

220
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: I wish you could have taken back that stupid, stupid

221
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: thing about your secretary paying lower taxes than you, because

222
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 3: it's stupid, and you know it's stupid.

223
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are situations where you can borrow against enormous

224
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: but unrealized gains and that quote unquote income is tax free.

225
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm familiar with that part of the tax code.

226
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just again, it's it's a myth one

227
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: the top one percent pay whatever. It is, forty seven

228
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: percent of the income tax in America.

229
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: Anyway.

230
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: Uh, much more to come, including the tragic birth rate situation.

231
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: Among human Oh we've got some breaking news. I wanted

232
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: to mention. Oh, okay. Trump is just.

233
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: Announced he'll give one thousand dollars to any illegal who

234
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: voluntarily leaves the country. What you heard me? He is

235
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: in full not a complicated says running a.

236
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: Game show you know mode right now? I bet it works.

237
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's I don't know where that

238
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: money would come from, and I don't know what the

239
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: mechanism would be for doing it or any of that stuff.

240
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 2: I am so mystified this. Where does this one ranking?

241
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: Let's reopen Alcatraz as a maximum security prison?

242
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: Is that above or below it in the what are

243
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 2: we doing here? Scale?

244
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: I'll bet it would work. I bet a bunch of people.

245
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 3: I'll bet you could get a couple million people to voluntarily.

246
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: Leave if they're going to get a thousand bucks.

247
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: Thinking short term and or thinking I'm going to have

248
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 3: to leave at some point anyway, so I might as

249
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 3: well get a thousand dollars and you can't get back in.

250
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole hot Christinome with her her ads that

251
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: are running now all the time. That let's say, if

252
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: you report yourself and leave, you can come back at

253
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: some point legally. But if we find you and you

254
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: haven't self reported, you're booted out for the rest of

255
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: your life.

256
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: If people are hearing that and thinking, wow, I wonder.

257
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: If they're serious, and you'll give me a grand just

258
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: to disappear, you know, my uncle rehire me back in

259
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: Guadalajara or whatever. I don't I don't know, but a grand,

260
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean that's if you're making well, for instance, fifty

261
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: two grand a year.

262
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 2: That's that's a week's wages.

263
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna leave the land of milk and honey for

264
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: a week's wages?

265
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: What if you think you're gonna get booted out at

266
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,479
Speaker 2: some point anyway.

267
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm stuck in Alcatraz probably right, it'll be our new

268
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant camp.

269
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 3: All right, this is just too whacked? All right, fine,

270
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: you didn't like it too whack? Can you just passing

271
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: along the news of the day. More on the way's

272
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: day here.

273
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: And as revolutionary as the pill was in.

274
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: The sixties, freezing eggs so now you can have motherhood

275
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: whenever you want it, not during your fun years. When

276
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: you're running around and don't want to have kids, you

277
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: can put it off to one you're much much older.

278
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 3: According to sixty minutes last night, we'll discuss that probably

279
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 3: an hour four man.

280
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: That's an interesting story.

281
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking about this if if forget that

282
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: were human beings, if we were deer, this is your

283
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: headline for deer. One would be leader. One buck would

284
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: be leader of the deer herd is criticized. The other

285
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: would be leader for having antlers too big. Also, young

286
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: bucks are now having fun scratching themselves against trees. In

287
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: nons of news, the herd is dying out. I mean,

288
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't that be the leads story? Our herd is dying out.

289
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: We're just importing deer from other forests to distract us

290
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: from that fact. So stay tuned for that.

291
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 3: Some of them have Ms. Thirteen tattooed on their hoops.

292
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 3: That was photoshopped.

293
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: So uh, it is so funny if you are a

294
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: savvy consumer of the news to watch the gyrations. A

295
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: lot of the lefty media, which is virtually everybody with

296
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: the obvious exceptions, The gymnastics they go through if they

297
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: come across something that makes them uncomfortable, and they'd prefer

298
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,119
Speaker 1: not to report it, whether it's the raging anti semitism

299
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: on college campuses or what have you. This is a

300
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: perfect example. Did you hear about the giant blackouts in

301
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: Europe last week? France and Portugal in particularly in particular,

302
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: in particularly.

303
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: Massive swaths of Europe had.

304
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: Like day long blackouts, no electric power, no flights, no trains,

305
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: no medical care, people milling around looking at each other.

306
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: What are we supposed to do now? And there's a

307
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: big mystery as to what was causing it.

308
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: And this was covered extensively on your mainstream media. Cyber attack,

309
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: Chinese something or other, the damn Ruskies, who knows. But

310
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: then as soon as it became clear what actually had happened,

311
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: we've moved on to other things.

312
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: Nothing to see. Oh, I have a guess, I didn't

313
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: follow this story. Go ahead, guess away. I'll bet it's

314
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: a good one.

315
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: Green energy didn't fill the role it's supposed to, one

316
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: hundred percent over reliance on utterly unreliable green energy.

317
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: And I came across a piece that was very, very

318
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: good by Emmett Penny in the Free Press that described

319
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: as I'll just touch on a little bit because we

320
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: don't have much time. But simply put the power grid

321
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: as like a giant game of tug of war. On

322
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: one side, there's demand, on the other, there's supply. Keeping

323
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: the lights on involves making sure the rope between supply

324
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: and demand remains taut. This tautness is called inertia in

325
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: the energy grid business. Healthy inertia means healthy grid frequency,

326
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: which in Europe means fifty hertz. None of this means

327
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: anything to any of us, and we'll forget it as

328
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: soon as we've heard it. But in the version of

329
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: events initially attributed to this other thing, something along one

330
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: of the power the lines disrupted the even flow of

331
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: power between generators on the grid, which messed with a

332
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: frequency which likely tripped off more wind and solar, which

333
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: slackened the rope, which probably caused the blackouts.

334
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: They are way way.

335
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: Overliant on unpredictable, unsustainable sources of energy. The sources that

336
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: made up eighty percent of the mix just before the

337
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: blackout can't supply the requisite inertia the grid needs. So

338
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: when these atmospheric ostellations they call them took place. The

339
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: Spanish grid was already in a precarious scot spot because

340
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: it's the dearth of dispatchable power made it much more

341
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: vulnerable to the sort of disturbances you're going to have.

342
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: In the real world.

343
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: It makes it rigid, inflexible, and undependable.

344
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: In the modern world. I've been in that whole life. Well,

345
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? Yeah? Yeah, So that's why

346
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: that story went away. Yep.

347
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: Interesting to see your folks keep moving. How many pencils

348
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 3: do you need to live? In America?

349
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 2: That question in others on the way Armstrong and Getty

350
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: get some eggs.

351
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 4: Go, Let's get some eggs.

352
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 5: More and more American women are freezing their eggs to

353
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 5: preserve their fertility.

354
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: Those of the eggs.

355
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 5: Could egg freezing offer what previous generations only dreamed of?

356
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 5: The chance to put the biological clock on ice.

357
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 4: There definitely is that TikTok clock, and I'm not ready

358
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 4: quite yet.

359
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 3: I think that egg freezing is as revolutionary as the

360
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 3: pill was in nineteen sixties and seventies.

361
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 5: It's as revolutionary as the pell.

362
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: Joe's favorite thing that sixty minutes does and does better

363
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 3: than anybody else. Restate what they just said, because your

364
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: audience is eighty five years old and you're afraid they

365
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 3: missed it. But the story about freezing eggs and freeing

366
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: you up to have kids whenever you want as a woman,

367
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 3: I don't think previous generations necessarily were dreaming of this

368
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: and the way you just stated. But let's hear a

369
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: couple more and then we'll discuss.

370
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 2: Here we go.

371
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 5: We spoke to a group of women about their decision

372
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 5: to freeze their eggs.

373
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 2: Why is it a good idea?

374
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 4: I one hundred percent know that I really would love

375
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 4: to have children.

376
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 5: Yeas been Higbee is twenty nine, works in consultings and

377
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 5: has a serious boyfriend.

378
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 4: I'll be able to enjoy these times with my partner

379
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 4: a bit more instead of rushing to have kids because

380
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 4: there definitely is that TikTok clock that started and I'm

381
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 4: not ready quite yet.

382
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: It's an insurance.

383
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: I know that you know I'm going to be an

384
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 4: older mother.

385
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 3: This whole thing hurts my heart. One more and then

386
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: we'll get into it the next one. They're mine, Oh,

387
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 3: you don't have any ethnikes?

388
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: Okay.

389
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 3: The next one was going to get into it about

390
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 3: enjoying life instead of rushing into having kids, rushing into

391
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 3: having kids before you're forty five.

392
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, that's.

393
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: What she was talking about. The one we skipped is

394
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: no difference in the health of babies.

395
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, gotcha. Yeah, uh yeah, I don't I

396
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 2: don't know.

397
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: I'm always uncomfortable with this judging other people's lifestyles. Oh no,

398
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: I love that. It's like I do that all day long.

399
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: Uh No, it's a couple of things. Number one, you know,

400
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: people make these decisions for all sorts of complicated reasons,

401
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: and it's very very personal. And second, my wife and

402
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: I full disclosure, had our children by today's standards young.

403
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: I was twenty seven when I became a dad for

404
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: the first time, which people say, wow, you know. Not

405
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: very long ago, they'd just said wow, why'd you wait

406
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: so long? Now it's wow, you're just a kid. And

407
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: Judy was just a little older than me. But and

408
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: I don't want to be guy who argues my life

409
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: choices over yours reflexively. On the other hand, and I

410
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: could list several examples where, especially in the twentieth century,

411
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: which was the era of almost the cult of scientific development,

412
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: in that we didn't only marvel at it and benefit

413
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: from it. We became convinced that if science could do it,

414
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: science should do it right. I think that was kind

415
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: of the dawn of people really thinking that, and the

416
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: infamous unforgivable so moronic. It makes me want to assault.

417
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: Somebody thought in the twentieth century that we have designed

418
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: this factory manufactured formula that is far superior to a

419
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: mother's milk. You're feeding your baby your milk, your mother's milk.

420
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: You're a bad parent in a monster feed it these

421
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: chemicals from our plant instead, which is monstrous in its

422
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: ignorance and belligerence. But generations of kids and moms got

423
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: that message.

424
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: My only quibble with the sixty minutes piece was they

425
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 3: didn't present really any of the possible other side in

426
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 3: the way that I think it could have been to

427
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 3: at great length. For instance, and I have no leg

428
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: to stand on in this conversation. I didn't have kids

429
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 3: till I was forty five years old, because I'm a guy,

430
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 3: and I can choose to do whatever I want, so I'll.

431
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate your full disclosure. But at the same time,

432
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: I have made a number of life choices that I

433
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: am not going to defend at all.

434
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 2: In fact, I would like to tell you why they're.

435
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: Stupid ideas, you know what I mean, or or I

436
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: was in that position. If I had it all to

437
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: do over again, I'd do it differently. That doesn't make

438
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: you a hypocriter.

439
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: I wish I had kids younger for all kinds of

440
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: different reasons. It will eliminate the whole grandparent relationship thing

441
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 3: to a great extent when everybody starts having kids, everybody

442
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 3: starts having kids at a much later age, because it

443
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 3: just does.

444
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 2: Your grandparents are in a.

445
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 3: Much different phase of their life if they're around at all,

446
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 3: and all that sort of stuff. I mean, it's I mean,

447
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 3: there's lots of downsides, or even if you don't call

448
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: them downsides, changes, and not all changes are positive, as

449
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: you say all the time.

450
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would just.

451
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: Say, there are a number of biological and that's a

452
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: very broad category, number of biological reasons why you are

453
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: better off having children when you are younger.

454
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: Some of those have been.

455
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: Made less significance significant by medical science, which is wonderful.

456
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean, for instance, one of the reasons you want

457
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: to have your kids ladies when you were young and

458
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: very strong and resilient. Is because frequently it went kind

459
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: of sideways, and maternal mortality was a serious problem for

460
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: human beings and any animal, I suppose, but particularly human

461
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: beings because we're born with these enormous brains and very

462
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: large heads, which can make the birthing process. I don't

463
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: need to tell this to folk. Ladies have given birth.

464
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: It can make it very difficult. As I've said more

465
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: than once, my first kid, Kate, would have probably died

466
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: in childbirth, taking Judy with her. But no, it was

467
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: the twentieth century, so thank god everybody survived. So and

468
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: so some of the reasons you want to have your

469
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: kids this is because of the getty head. Oh yeah,

470
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 1: I mean our heads among you know, normal folks who

471
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: have enormous heads we refer to as penheads. We have

472
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: college we have we have heads rather like college mascots. Anyway,

473
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: I have to wear my order my cowboy hats from

474
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: mascot stores Giant well. But anyway, but some of the

475
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: realities of giving birth to children, raising children cannot be

476
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: changed by you know, science, And there are more and

477
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: more studies that show that older eggs, older you know,

478
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: sperm whatever, are not quite as effective or more prone

479
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: to various problems, which is why they're freezing the eggs,

480
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: I guess, But so.

481
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: I do feel a little bit.

482
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: I know this is your thing, which we'll talk about next,

483
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 3: is we're on the Titanic talking about how great the

484
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 3: new ships are going to be in ten years as

485
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 3: we get heads straight toward the iceberg, and we are

486
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 3: doing that. In terms of the whole having babies thing,

487
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: we'll talk we'll explain what that means right after this.

488
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: From simply safe.

489
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,239
Speaker 3: If you don't leave your house every day looking at

490
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 3: the simply safe sign in your yard like I do,

491
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: then I don't know what kind of peace of mind

492
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 3: you have, Like I drive away knowing my house is

493
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 3: protected while I'm at work today with the cameras and

494
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 3: the sensors and everything else and the active guard protection.

495
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 2: And it's about a dollar a day, so you can

496
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 2: afford it.

497
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're picturing the old traditional security systems with

498
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: their extremely limited technology and their very high price, forget it.

499
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: Simply safe is so different simply safe to active gord.

500
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: Active guard outdoor protection can help prevent breakings before they happen.

501
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: A powered cameras backed by live professional monitoring agents monitor

502
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: your property and detect suspicious activity. If somebody's acting suspiciously

503
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: outside your home, agents see them, can talk to them

504
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: in real time, call the cops, activate spotlights before your

505
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 1: windows get smashed.

506
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 3: And again, this starts at around a dollar a day.

507
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: The no long term contract is because they believe in

508
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 3: the product.

513
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 3: So last week we had the New York Times story

514
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 3: about designer babies and being able to choose taller or

515
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: blue eyes or various things, and the horrors that could

516
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: go with that, boys or girls.

517
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 2: Now you got the whole freezing eggs.

518
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 3: The good news if you're worried about that, I guess

519
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 3: is people ain't gonna have babies period or aren't currently,

520
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 3: and there's no reason to think that's gonna turn around

521
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 3: anytime soon.

522
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about this more than once. You've probably

523
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: heard about it from other folks as well. But our

524
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: birth rates in the developed world are they rang from Oh,

525
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: my Lord to Great God, we're already dead. In the

526
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: United States, we're at one point six six. The conventional

527
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: wisdom being each mother needs to have two point one

528
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: children on average. I was just reading a genetic study

529
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: that said it's really closer to two point seven children

530
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: to avoid families dying out on a genetic ongoing basis.

531
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: But that gets a little complicated statistically, But anyway, it's

532
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: more than two children on average per mom just to

533
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: keep the population exactly the same. And we're at one

534
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: point six six or so in America, and Japan is

535
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: at one point three, and South Korea the poster child

536
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: for not having kids is whereas at point eighty seven.

537
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: Whoa greatoo. Canada's one point four to seven. It's less

538
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: than America. You're fifty first state only because it'll be

539
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: empty soon. So yeah, the birth rates are crazy. I

540
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: just and I say this every time.

541
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 3: I do not believe it's because, you know, like the

542
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 3: clips we just played from sixty minutes, I've just got

543
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 3: so many things I want to do now. Well, wasn't

544
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 3: that long ago the things people wanted to do was

545
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 3: have a kid?

546
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were, they weren't.

547
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 3: I guess I'll have the kid, I'm gonna have to

548
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: put off travel and all these other things I want

549
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 3: to do or social pressure.

550
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, my mom keeps bugging me, so we probably ought

551
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 1: to go ahead and get pregnant.

552
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 3: The thing you wanted to do more than anything in

553
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: the world was have a kid, and it wasn't just

554
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 3: because TikTok wasn't around. So you know, whatever he's driving

555
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 3: that I don't know.

556
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, uh.

557
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: And again I want to tread with light foot on

558
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: this stuff because people can make their own decisions.

559
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 2: And I'm going to cast dispersions.

560
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: If you can preserve your eggs and they're still in

561
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: great shape and some of the problems with older eggs

562
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: and older sperm or not resent, I suppose that's fine.

563
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: I just I will tell you as a young parent,

564
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: it's worked out fantastic.

565
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 2: It's been great.

566
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

567
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: We're we're pretty poor. I mean we were, you know. Famously,

568
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: I would occasionally go out for a beer with friends,

569
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: and as I've said through the years, I had the

570
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: budget for one ninety nine cent draft one. That was it,

571
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: and if nobody wanted to buy me a beer, I

572
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: went home afterward.

573
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 2: And it was fine.

574
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: I actually remember those days yeah, you know, I didn't

575
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: dig it at the time, but it's fine. And again,

576
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: you make the choices that work for you. Don't send

577
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: your indignant email saying, well, it's fine and good for

578
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: you to say, but this is my reality. That's fine

579
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: that I'm not talking about you. But I have God

580
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: willing a good long few decades that my grown kids

581
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: are my friends and I get to see them live

582
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: their life and someday I hope to have grandkids.

583
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: You know, we have our own family circumstances, but with.

584
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: Our individual kids, but there are wonderful, wonderful advantages to it.

585
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: I had tons of energy. I was working, you know,

586
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: obscene hours early in our career, and I was coaching

587
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: my kids teams and wrestling with him and running around

588
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: and playing catching the art.

589
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: But it was great in a lot of ways.

590
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: But you know, to each their own, so just and

591
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: the only reason I bring that up is not to

592
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: say it's better and you're a dope if you don't.

593
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: Because there's a right way, wrong way. I appreciate your rigidity.

594
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: It's it's just to say, if you all, if you've

595
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: been listening to those messages that oh you got to

596
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: wait until you can afford, you know, designer baby clothes.

597
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 2: And that's the dumbest. It's not true. That is the

598
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 2: absolute dumbest reason.

599
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 3: I had a neighbor who used to say, just throw

600
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 3: it out there because this was his addy, because he

601
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 3: had kids older before I had ever had kids. He'd

602
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 3: always say, I wouldn't trade your fifties for my twenties.

603
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 3: That was his big saying. And he had such a

604
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 3: good time in his twenties. He glad he didn't ruin

605
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 3: it by having kids. So I don't know if he

606
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 3: still feels that way. It's possibly he feels different now

607
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 3: that he's older, and.

608
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

609
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: I hope he's happy whatever I think.

610
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 3: Just to throw in my two cents on that having

611
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: kids older, I don't think I enjoyed all the free

612
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 3: time I had when I was younger, the way you

613
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 3: would if you raised your kids already. I just thought

614
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: that was life. No, I was on vacation the entire

615
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 3: time and didn't know it. Yeah, that's funny. I was

616
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 3: retired basically and didn't even know it. So it was

617
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 3: a lot of wasted time.

618
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: It would have been funny if you'd said, you know,

619
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: as a guy with full time job. Yeah, I'm semi retired.

620
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: And then I screw around all that.

621
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 3: I see people at the airport traveling without kids, and

622
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 3: I don't care what your business trip is or whatever

623
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 3: you're on vacation if you're not traveling with kids.

624
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So I wanted to get to this. It's

625
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: a somewhat different topic, but it is. Uh, why don't

626
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: I just go ahead and mention it. Then we'll take

627
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 2: a break.

628
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: You know, my joke about we've got all these health

629
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: problems as Homo sapiens and and my joke is one

630
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: scientist said, well, they're eating completely different things than they've

631
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: ever eaten before as a species. The other scientist said, nah,

632
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: that's not it. I mean, what the hell silly.

633
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: And knee jerk would that be? Oh, here's another one.

634
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: Scientists have made an alarming discovery inside human ovaries. Ladies,

635
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: you know what she got a bunch of in your ovaries? Microplastics?

636
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, new study shows what scientists have feared for

637
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: a long time, the effect of microplastics on human fertility.

638
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 3: Stay wit us, Okay, and then you're gonna go on

639
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: about seed oil. I know how you are, so stay right,

640
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 3: no one not. I don't care about oil.

641
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 4: There's Lark.

642
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 3: Wow, Logo had a little point afterwards.

643
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: That was Caitlin Clark yesterday.

644
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: So she returned to a University of Iowa court for

645
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: its exhibition game aim to play where she became famous

646
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 3: and took a shot from just inside the half court

647
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: line and nailed it and everybody went in berzerco to

648
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 3: her inner defense for taking that shot. They were up

649
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: fifty five at the time, so wow, the game was

650
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: fairly solidly put away.

651
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 2: Dominant performance.

652
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she was showboating hot dog and I don't appreciately.

653
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: So I don't know what to do with this information.

654
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: Recent study shows evidence what scientists have feared for long time,

655
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: the effects of microplastics on human fertility. And Jack and

656
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: I have a personal interest, not just a professional and

657
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: broad human interest in what seems to be a real

658
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: increase in the number of kids with various developmental problems

659
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 1: from autism to mental health issues to whatever. I mean,

660
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: it's just undeniable. I was doing a little mental just

661
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: kind of sensus of the people close to me, whether

662
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: personal life or actual family and the rest of it,

663
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: and the number of kids with autism or similar issues.

664
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: Is notable, I sure is just say that for the

665
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: first time, scientists have discovered microplastics in the follicular fluid

666
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: of human ovaries. According to a new peer reviewed study,

667
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: this fluid plays a crucial role in nourishing and developing

668
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: a woman's eggs, and researchers have alarmingly found plastic particles

669
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: in fourteen out of eighteen samples collected from patients undergoing

670
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: fertility treatment. It's not a huge study, obviously, but it's

671
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: peer reviewed and the research makes marks a major step

672
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: forward and understanding how deep plastic pollution runs, not just

673
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: in the environment but in our bodies. And then they

674
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: go into some of the function of this fluid in

675
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: the way ovaries do what they do. But the presence

676
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: of microplastics in this fluid raises the possibility that these

677
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: tiny particles are interfering with essential reproductive processes.

678
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can imagine. Yeah.

679
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: Well, and these people have been looking at virtually every

680
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: fluid human beings produce and secrete. They have found microplastics

681
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: in us and animals.

682
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, do.

683
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 3: Work if you can get it. I want to analyze

684
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 3: all your secretions. Any liquid that comes out of you.

685
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 3: I don't care where on the body. I'm going to

686
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 3: take a good look, hard look at it. I've made

687
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 3: a career of it.

688
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: It's more interesting than you'd think you But animal studies

689
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: have suggested that the plastics may disrupt O variant function

690
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: and reduce the ability to conceive. This does not speak

691
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: to child developmental stuff. So that connection I made in

692
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: my mind is there's no suggestion to that in this study.

693
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: But something is going on in reproduction and or you know,

694
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: there's absolutely microplastics and breast milk over again, where are

695
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: we get in most of the microplastics?

696
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: That is it? Because when you of us drink out

697
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 2: of plastic water bottles, Oh no, because plastic is everywhere.

698
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 2: I know it is.

699
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: It's everywhere all the time, and it gets thrown away

700
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: and broken up and dissolves.

701
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 3: But I don't know if there's that much more plastic

702
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 3: in my life than there was forty years ago, other

703
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 3: than the water bottles.

704
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, there's plastic in everything in

705
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: a way that you know forty years ago. Well, certainly

706
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: like fifty years ago. You remember the famous line from

707
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: the graduate one word Benjamin plastics, The omnipresence of I

708
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: wish I had some stats in front of me, But yeah,

709
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: plastic has gone from a rarity to everywhere all the

710
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: time in everything. Go by by one hundred bucks worth

711
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: of groceries and take a look at how much plastic

712
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: packaging there is. For instance, that was absolutely not the

713
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: case the generation two generations ago. And it breaks down,

714
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: whether by sunlight, by water, by being crushed up or whatever.

715
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: It's not like I mean, the water bottles might play

716
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: a role, but it's like microscopic, little tiny bits of

717
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: it that you breathe in.

718
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: You never have anything.

719
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 3: Wouldn't it be something if it turns out that's one

720
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 3: of the worst things mankind ever did was invent plastic.

721
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 2: Wouldn't shock me.

722
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 3: Wouldn't shock me either, Well, that'd be a revolution to

723
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 3: try to get rid of plastic in the world.

724
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're not some sort of environmental nut job

725
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: show here. We're just trying to understand what is.

726
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,719
