WEBVTT - Particles & Secretions 0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:10.160 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty. 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:23.680 Armstrong, and Jettie and no he Armstrong and yetdy. So 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:27.160 this order will make it socially acceptable for a man 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:30.240 in his seventies to date a twenty four year olds. 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:31.320 That's right. 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:33.080 We're calling it the Belichick Law. 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:38.240 We're gonna make girlfriends young again. Okay, old men can 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:42.199 nowdate far younger women. We like that. It's hot, but 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.040 in reverse, it's quite disgusting. 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:48.720 Right, very dateline. You know that's funny. That's from Saturday 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.280 Night Live. The whole Belichick thing. He cannot be digging 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.640 that it's getting more attention than his book. His book 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.560 has kind of been obscured by the whole Oh wait, 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.680 you're dating one of the former cheerleaders you met on 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:01.360 a to a game. 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.280 Okay, yeah. 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:07.640 His whole persona is grumpy and proud, so being the 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.199 object of ridicule is probably not great. 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:11.800 It doesn't sit real comfortably. 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:13.400 Or he's in love and having the time of his 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.160 life and he doesn't care, which might be his attitude, right, 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.759 which kind of fits in a little bit with uh this. 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:21.480 So hold on. 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.240 Hold on, I'll stand by everybody coughing fit. We have 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:26.039 a coughing fit. 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.440 Yeah, we do a couple of days away from a 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.920 full month of being sick like this, which is crazy. 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.000 Hold on, I think I can do it. 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:40.440 You know, we got to be like a music radio 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.679 show that runs like groovy music in the background to 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.680 make it feel like there's forward momentum. 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.040 That's why they did that. Yeah, it's hard to imagine 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:49.320 listening to this radio program. 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.360 Well, you know, I could jump in every time you 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.760 have to cough, but I don't necessarily have anything to 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.560 say because you're mid sentence. 0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.680 Right, and I've got something planned. So our adult life, 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.400 Warren Buffett has been one of the richest people in 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.040 the world. He's an investor, and he's from my part 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.160 of the country, the Oracle of Omaha. I'm from Kansas, 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.320 and so I just always liked his lives in a 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.480 little house in a small town, very basic, sort of 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.160 Midwest guy vibe. I've always liked his kind of conservative view, 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:22.560 like personally conservative view of of you know, long term 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.320 planning and not conspicuous consumption and all. 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.240 That sort of vibe. He also. 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.240 Has said some just freaking horrible things that have been 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:35.519 just completely out of line that have disrupted our political conversation. 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.880 His his bs my secretary pays lower taxes than I 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.480 do and doesn't write that's not right is one of 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.840 the most misleading and stupid conversations we've had in America. 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.680 So you've got that also. But anyway, he finally stepped 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.160 down over the weekend age ninety three. I think he 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:52.560 is at the end of the year, isn't he? 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.519 He announced HISSI he announced it over the weekend, and 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.840 he's handing it off to some guy from Iowa that 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.400 I constantly heard. The guy still lives in Des Moines, 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.120 Like it's just so shocking that this guy, who's also 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.359 really rich would stay there. As I was talking about 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.919 last week, I personally know people who would rather kill 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.160 themselves than live in New York. But everybody who lives 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:14.960 in New York thinks the only reason we don't live 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.520 in New York is because we haven't figured out how 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:16.960 to get there. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:18.760 It's just I find that so frustrating. 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:22.440 Do we spend all day longing to live in Manhattan, 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:23.480 just dreaming of. 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:24.280 It every day? 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.519 We all the rest of us think in La is 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.320 the same way and a bunch of different places, but 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.000 that people are in the country every day get up 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.359 and think, I guess I'll go to work, even though 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:33.600 I don't live in New York or LA. 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.520 I guess there's still some reason to get up. 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:40.400 All right, fine, right, anyway, So warn Buff's warn Buffet's 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:41.600 speech on the way out the door. I thought it 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.840 was pretty interesting and will spark conversations. I'm sure he said, 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.920 why doesn't that old rich guy just retire already? He 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.360 must not have a purpose in life outside of money, 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.640 like a lot of people. I used to think that way, 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.960 but it's wrong. Fundamentally, there are two things humans do. 0:03:58.240 --> 0:03:59.880 We produce and we consume. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:00.880 That's it. 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.880 Most of us, throughout our lives produce and consume, roughly 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.320 in parody with each other. We make money, and over time, 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.640 even if invest some of it and don't spend it 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.400 immediately after earning it, we expend it. 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:12.200 All the work we do. 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.480 The economic value we create is offset by the house 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.440 in which we live, the food we eat, the medical 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.000 costs of keeping us alive, the vacations we take, and 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.440 all the myriad other things we consume each day and 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.960 over the course of the years, some of us consume 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.840 more than we produce. This requires some type of external subsidy, 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.680 be it a trust fund, charital support, or government benefits, 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.560 like the way he puts government benefits last, Like, that's 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:34.880 not the first thing. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.839 That's Oh no, it happens in rare cases. The government 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:38.600 supports people. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.279 Yes, yes, Back to his text, a small number of 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.839 us produce more than we consume, and an even smaller 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.040 number produce vastly more than they could ever hope of consuming. 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.200 These people have many different roles and titles. If you 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.760 respect these people and appreciate their contributions to our society, which, 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.000 by the way, I hope you do, because these are 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.080 the people that make it possible for you to eat food. 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.360 You didn't have to grow yourself, live an house. 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.719 You didn't have to build yourself and utilize countless technological innovations. 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.120 You didn't have to invent yourself. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.440 Yeah, when are they gonna pay their first share? That's 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:08.039 what I want to know. 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:12.840 You probably call them builders, creators or inventors, founders, entrepreneurs, 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.760 business leaders, titans of industry, pillars of community. 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:17.720 That's if you respect them, he said. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:25.400 If you don't like them, you probably have other terms plutocrats, bourgeoisie, coulos, parasites, vultures, 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:26.320 hoarders of wealth. 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.640 Is this nineteen nineteen Russia or time. 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.880 It's kind of interesting that he's got this point of 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.120 view that I agree with, while at the same time 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.520 perpetuating that fraud tax statement that he put. 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.160 Out there, isn't it? Yeah, that is odd. I mean, 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.440 he'd has to know better. He's a financial genius. 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.200 Anyway, back to what he said, going back to the 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.480 old rich person at the start of this, that guy, 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.440 whether you respect him or not, attained his position in 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.159 society by virtue. Having been a net producer. He's produced 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.400 more than he's consumed. His outputs total more than the 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.560 sum of his inputs. Put simply, he's planted and harvested 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:02.520 more than he's eaten. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:04.440 People who produce. 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.200 Like that over the course of their lives don't do 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.000 so because they want to one day start consuming more. 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.760 Men and women who spend each day as net producers 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.520 don't just switch it off one day and become a 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:18.000 net consumer. Vacations, rounds of golf, restaurant outings, and movies 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.279 showing simply aren't satisfying to someone whose mind not to 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.560 mention whose heart, whose animating spirit is wired for producing. 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.440 It simply doesn't work that way. You might not understand it. 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.760 You might not understand these people, and that's fine. For 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.480 much of my life I didn't either. But don't question 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.839 what drives them just because it's not what drives you. 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.039 Because these are the men and women who built our society, 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.000 explored new worlds, and vented the wondrous technologies we use 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.440 every day, and created the works of art and literature 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.320 we get to enjoy. And they're the ones who will 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.640 keep building, keep creating, and keep making it possible for 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.240 future generations to enjoy these things even greater. 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:56.919 He is simultaneously right and overstating his case. In my opinion, 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:02.039 I completely get his point, and it's eloquently put, and 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.679 I appreciate it. At the same time, I've known plenty 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.600 I know right now, plenty of people who one hundred 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:14.120 percent answered to that description and then said, you know what, 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.440 that's enough producing, and now I am going to play 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.600 golf and go out to dinner and go to shows. 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.200 Oh and you know, support charities, and you know I will. 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.640 I will repurpose my life. I suppose you could argue 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.720 they're still producing in a way, but I think it's 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.920 a fairly extreme case or rare case that takes it 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.920 damn near to the foot of the grave. Like Warren 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:41.560 Buffett will I'm not criticizing, I'm just saying, you're out there. 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.400 That's sort of his point though, that it is a 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:47.040 small number who are so animated by that that's all 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:47.800 they want to do. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.640 Yeah, clear to the end, right right. 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.760 It sounded like to me he was being a bit 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.080 more broad that if you have that spirit, you never 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.320 lose it, and you work until you have one foot 0:07:58.320 --> 0:07:58.760 in the grave. 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.040 And I'm just I'm not sure that's true. But I 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.520 don't know. I'm closer to him than i'm not. 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:08.480 I just can't imagine enjoying at all, traveling, eating, I 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.000 don't golf, but whatever, I just can't even imagine enjoying 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:15.840 that at all. That sounds awful to me. Well, this 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.680 is why you're a titan of industry. Yeah, so what 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.640 that's the interesting thing? What if you are are are 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.520 not built to do those sorts of things, but you 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:30.840 don't produce much. I produce, you know, I half produced 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.520 four hours of frivolous talk every day. 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:38.320 Headaches, headaches, occasion. Yeah, I don't know where that leaves you. 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.440 Interesting question, you know, well to each in their own 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:42.880 you know, degree whatever. 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:44.440 Yeah, I thought that was really interesting. 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.320 I liked him standing up for that crowd, you know, 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:53.200 and stop calling us plutocrats and all that other stuff. Well, right, 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.200 because we just want to produce as opposed to take. Yeah, 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:58.640 I think he could have been harder on the people 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.679 that only want to take. There's a big crowd out 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.160 of there that is the exact opposite, hundred percent every 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.319 It's a continuum obviously, from the produce to the day 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.680 you die to the never produce a thing. But there's 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.079 a lot of people perfectly happy with not producing a thing. 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:13.880 I think it makes you miserable, probably a drug eYIC, 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.400 can you die early? But there's a lot of people 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:17.040 willing to do that. 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:18.040 Well. 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.959 Yeah, the actual aerial tables would suggest that you're right. 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:21.400 Yes. 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.720 On the other hand, many folks, even you, have asked 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.040 how much money do you need? Why do you keep working? 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.040 Why do you keep doing this? Why do you keep 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.240 you know, whatever that person does to acquire more and 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:35.880 more wealth. 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:37.000 Yeah, as he said, he. 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.360 A reasonable question, he asked, that's the answer. Yeah, as 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.240 he said, he asked that question his whole life. As 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.360 I get closer to the end, you know, I'm sick. 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:44.680 I might be dead by the end of the week. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.120 As I get closer to the end, I understand where 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.520 he's coming from more than I did even two years ago, 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.040 I think, and I don't know why, but it's interesting 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.240 that he didn't get it a much of his I mean, 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:59.040 he's really old. It's not like he's, you know, just 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:04.120 turned sixty five retiring. He's pushing one hundred. Yeah, yeah, 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.120 thought provoking. Yeah, i'd say so. Elon's probably gonna be 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.280 one of those people. Elon's never gonna say, well, that's 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:09.680 enough of that. 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.000 No, No, I agree completely. My no is a yes, 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:19.080 but yes, I mean no vice versa. I've lost crack. Yeah, okay, interesting, Warren. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.360 I wish you could have taken back that stupid, stupid 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.600 thing about your secretary paying lower taxes than you, because 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.320 it's stupid, and you know it's stupid. 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.640 Yeah, there are situations where you can borrow against enormous 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:37.760 but unrealized gains and that quote unquote income is tax free. 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.360 Yes, I'm familiar with that part of the tax code. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.160 But yeah, it's just again, it's it's a myth one 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.760 the top one percent pay whatever. It is, forty seven 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.160 percent of the income tax in America. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:51.040 Anyway. 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:58.160 Uh, much more to come, including the tragic birth rate situation. 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.880 Among human Oh we've got some breaking news. I wanted 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.040 to mention. Oh, okay. Trump is just. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.440 Announced he'll give one thousand dollars to any illegal who 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:14.120 voluntarily leaves the country. What you heard me? He is 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.800 in full not a complicated says running a. 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:20.640 Game show you know mode right now? I bet it works. 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:23.160 I don't know if he's I don't know where that 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:24.720 money would come from, and I don't know what the 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.480 mechanism would be for doing it or any of that stuff. 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.439 I am so mystified this. Where does this one ranking? 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:34.040 Let's reopen Alcatraz as a maximum security prison? 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.840 Is that above or below it in the what are 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.319 we doing here? Scale? 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.560 I'll bet it would work. I bet a bunch of people. 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.680 I'll bet you could get a couple million people to voluntarily. 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:47.920 Leave if they're going to get a thousand bucks. 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.000 Thinking short term and or thinking I'm going to have 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:52.440 to leave at some point anyway, so I might as 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.960 well get a thousand dollars and you can't get back in. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.800 Yeah, the whole hot Christinome with her her ads that 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.679 are running now all the time. That let's say, if 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.719 you report yourself and leave, you can come back at 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.600 some point legally. But if we find you and you 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.800 haven't self reported, you're booted out for the rest of 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:14.360 your life. 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.680 If people are hearing that and thinking, wow, I wonder. 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.600 If they're serious, and you'll give me a grand just 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.840 to disappear, you know, my uncle rehire me back in 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.360 Guadalajara or whatever. I don't I don't know, but a grand, 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.440 I mean that's if you're making well, for instance, fifty 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:30.440 two grand a year. 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.319 That's that's a week's wages. 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.400 You're gonna leave the land of milk and honey for 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:39.440 a week's wages? 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.240 What if you think you're gonna get booted out at 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:42.479 some point anyway. 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.960 I'm stuck in Alcatraz probably right, it'll be our new 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.040 illegal immigrant camp. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.320 All right, this is just too whacked? All right, fine, 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.400 you didn't like it too whack? Can you just passing 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:52.760 along the news of the day. More on the way's 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:53.280 day here. 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.120 And as revolutionary as the pill was in. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.440 The sixties, freezing eggs so now you can have motherhood 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.880 whenever you want it, not during your fun years. When 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.320 you're running around and don't want to have kids, you 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.080 can put it off to one you're much much older. 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.559 According to sixty minutes last night, we'll discuss that probably 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:17.559 an hour four man. 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:18.800 That's an interesting story. 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.439 Yeah, I was thinking about this if if forget that 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:26.240 were human beings, if we were deer, this is your 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:32.600 headline for deer. One would be leader. One buck would 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.199 be leader of the deer herd is criticized. The other 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.920 would be leader for having antlers too big. Also, young 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.960 bucks are now having fun scratching themselves against trees. In 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.200 nons of news, the herd is dying out. I mean, 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:53.240 shouldn't that be the leads story? Our herd is dying out. 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.840 We're just importing deer from other forests to distract us 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.480 from that fact. So stay tuned for that. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.480 Some of them have Ms. Thirteen tattooed on their hoops. 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:04.880 That was photoshopped. 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:10.880 So uh, it is so funny if you are a 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:15.760 savvy consumer of the news to watch the gyrations. A 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.240 lot of the lefty media, which is virtually everybody with 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:25.040 the obvious exceptions, The gymnastics they go through if they 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.680 come across something that makes them uncomfortable, and they'd prefer 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:32.119 not to report it, whether it's the raging anti semitism 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.360 on college campuses or what have you. This is a 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:38.600 perfect example. Did you hear about the giant blackouts in 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:44.040 Europe last week? France and Portugal in particularly in particular, 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.240 in particularly. 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.480 Massive swaths of Europe had. 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:55.040 Like day long blackouts, no electric power, no flights, no trains, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.400 no medical care, people milling around looking at each other. 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.040 What are we supposed to do now? And there's a 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.240 big mystery as to what was causing it. 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:08.800 And this was covered extensively on your mainstream media. Cyber attack, 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:14.160 Chinese something or other, the damn Ruskies, who knows. But 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.400 then as soon as it became clear what actually had happened, 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.040 we've moved on to other things. 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.600 Nothing to see. Oh, I have a guess, I didn't 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.880 follow this story. Go ahead, guess away. I'll bet it's 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:25.320 a good one. 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.920 Green energy didn't fill the role it's supposed to, one 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:35.760 hundred percent over reliance on utterly unreliable green energy. 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.480 And I came across a piece that was very, very 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.360 good by Emmett Penny in the Free Press that described 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:44.880 as I'll just touch on a little bit because we 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.560 don't have much time. But simply put the power grid 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.800 as like a giant game of tug of war. On 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.640 one side, there's demand, on the other, there's supply. Keeping 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.600 the lights on involves making sure the rope between supply 0:15:55.680 --> 0:16:00.600 and demand remains taut. This tautness is called inertia in 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:05.320 the energy grid business. Healthy inertia means healthy grid frequency, 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.360 which in Europe means fifty hertz. None of this means 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.320 anything to any of us, and we'll forget it as 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:15.280 soon as we've heard it. But in the version of 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.680 events initially attributed to this other thing, something along one 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.600 of the power the lines disrupted the even flow of 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.120 power between generators on the grid, which messed with a 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.480 frequency which likely tripped off more wind and solar, which 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.880 slackened the rope, which probably caused the blackouts. 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.080 They are way way. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:38.960 Overliant on unpredictable, unsustainable sources of energy. The sources that 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.880 made up eighty percent of the mix just before the 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:47.480 blackout can't supply the requisite inertia the grid needs. So 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.080 when these atmospheric ostellations they call them took place. The 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:54.040 Spanish grid was already in a precarious scot spot because 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.360 it's the dearth of dispatchable power made it much more 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.520 vulnerable to the sort of disturbances you're going to have. 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:01.280 In the real world. 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:06.320 It makes it rigid, inflexible, and undependable. 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.800 In the modern world. I've been in that whole life. Well, 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.880 what are you gonna do? Yeah? Yeah, So that's why 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.639 that story went away. Yep. 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.000 Interesting to see your folks keep moving. How many pencils 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:19.240 do you need to live? In America? 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.879 That question in others on the way Armstrong and Getty 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:24.800 get some eggs. 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:26.160 Go, Let's get some eggs. 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.919 More and more American women are freezing their eggs to 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.160 preserve their fertility. 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:32.639 Those of the eggs. 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.919 Could egg freezing offer what previous generations only dreamed of? 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:41.159 The chance to put the biological clock on ice. 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.840 There definitely is that TikTok clock, and I'm not ready 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:46.600 quite yet. 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.119 I think that egg freezing is as revolutionary as the 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.160 pill was in nineteen sixties and seventies. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.359 It's as revolutionary as the pell. 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.240 Joe's favorite thing that sixty minutes does and does better 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:00.879 than anybody else. Restate what they just said, because your 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.840 audience is eighty five years old and you're afraid they 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:07.480 missed it. But the story about freezing eggs and freeing 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.800 you up to have kids whenever you want as a woman, 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.840 I don't think previous generations necessarily were dreaming of this 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.240 and the way you just stated. But let's hear a 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:17.480 couple more and then we'll discuss. 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:17.919 Here we go. 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.360 We spoke to a group of women about their decision 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:22.880 to freeze their eggs. 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:24.439 Why is it a good idea? 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.640 I one hundred percent know that I really would love 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:28.480 to have children. 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:32.919 Yeas been Higbee is twenty nine, works in consultings and 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:34.520 has a serious boyfriend. 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:38.280 I'll be able to enjoy these times with my partner 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:42.040 a bit more instead of rushing to have kids because 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:46.720 there definitely is that TikTok clock that started and I'm 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:47.960 not ready quite yet. 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:49.520 It's an insurance. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:53.000 I know that you know I'm going to be an 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:53.720 older mother. 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.640 This whole thing hurts my heart. One more and then 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:00.280 we'll get into it the next one. They're mine, Oh, 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:01.520 you don't have any ethnikes? 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:02.040 Okay. 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.080 The next one was going to get into it about 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:10.000 enjoying life instead of rushing into having kids, rushing into 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:11.480 having kids before you're forty five. 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:13.160 Yeah, that's yeah, that's. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.040 What she was talking about. The one we skipped is 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:16.359 no difference in the health of babies. 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:20.119 Oh okay, okay, gotcha. Yeah, uh yeah, I don't I 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:20.439 don't know. 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.639 I'm always uncomfortable with this judging other people's lifestyles. Oh no, 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.120 I love that. It's like I do that all day long. 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:29.879 Uh No, it's a couple of things. Number one, you know, 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:32.840 people make these decisions for all sorts of complicated reasons, 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:37.520
