Speaking of weight loss and that sort of thing, 98 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: it is really really interesting the extent to which the 99 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: super effective weight loss drugs ozempic, Wigovi, Munjaro, and zep 100 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: bound have affected the economy in all sorts of ways. 101 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: It's turned around the obesity rate for the first time 102 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: in human history, certainly in the United States and companies 103 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: are trying to adjust to the new realities. I will 104 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: give you a list. Yeah, first of all, I can't 105 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: imagine one, so I'm interested in this. I can't like 106 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: even predict one. Maybe close sizes perhaps, But as we've 107 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: been saying for a while, this is a major cultural change, right, 108 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: that's gonna be very obvious very soon.

They're focused 130 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: on high protein items which support muscle mass or highly 131 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: set satiating and boost metabolism, as well as quick and 132 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: healthy frozen meals. I wonder what it's going to do 133 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: to close with if it'll go back to it it was, 134 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: you know, in the eighties and early nineties or whatever 135 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: before we all got fat, When you know, the bulk 136 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: of the sweatshirts at the Big five weren't all double 137 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: XL to five XL.

They're also spending more on items 160 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: like wearable electronics and exercise devices of all sorts. So 161 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: these drugs cause you to lose muscle mass. That's a problem. 162 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: I don't know how often that is.

But if soon, 171 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: you know, you're three hundred pounds and you really stand 172 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: out in a group because everybody else is on the ozepic, 173 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: it be a lot more noticeable. Yeah, I wonder. I 174 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: wonder Rascal sales will go way down. Oh yeah, absolutely, 175 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: sell your Rascal stock now. Or those grads they grabber 176 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: sticks where you pick stuff off off the floor because 177 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: you can't bend over anymore. Right, I washed myself with 178 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: a rag and a stick exactly. Yeah. Boy, I don't 179 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: want the hair loss or the muscle mass loss, or 180 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: the nausea really any of them. No. Well, and our people. 181 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: So if you're not super overweight, So originally all this 182 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: stuff was for people who are super overweight. If you're 183 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 1: just like fifteen or just diabetic, yeah, if you're twenty 184 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: pounds overweight, thirty pounds overweight, do you take a lower 185 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: dose or something. I think that's on the way that 186 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: they're working on more maintenance dose, just take the edge 187 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: off tys. Yeah, that's what they need, and then I 188 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: would assume the side effects will be lower. Also. Boy, 189 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: that's going to change the country. Well yeah, that's the point.

She's unhinged. Poor kid. Well it 246 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: was that whole because she's a child. That makes it 247 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: more true. Thing about climate change. There for a cup 248 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: of coffee. Soda fans, I say pop, so I'll say pop. 249 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: Pop fans are freaking out over the limited return of 250 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: the beloved, beloved Coca Cola flavor.

No, I consume that way back 253 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: in the day, but it sounds disgusting to me. Now. 254 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: You don't drink pop, Oh, you're better than us. I 255 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: don't drink pop either, correct, Yes, yes, Katie, do you 256 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: drink pop rarely? 257 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 2: But everything everything that cherry flavored tastes like cough syrup 258 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: to me. 259 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: That manufactured cherry flavor. I can't do it different red fruit. 260 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: But did you know this is my son set this 261 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: can't be true. He wanted a strawberry milkshake the other day. 262 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: We were at In and Out and he says, they 263 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: have the best strawberry milkshakes. And I said, you know, 264 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: I've never had a strawberry milkshake, which now added to 265 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: the list of things Jack is never which I couldn't believe. 266 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: And I'm know I've never had a story. It always 267 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: sounded gross to me, but you know, I'm starting to 268 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: think it might be delicious. This is this. I think 269 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: about this because my son, Henry, the thirteen year old, 270 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: had his first Ham sandwich the other day and loved it. 271 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: It's not because I haven't like allowed him. I've been 272 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: trying to encourage that for years, but he just thought 273 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: Ham sounded awful. For some reason. He finally tried Ham 274 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: and he said, Dad, Ham is fantastic. I said, yes, yes, yes, welcome. 275 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: So he loved the Ham sandwich, and I'll bet in 276 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: the last week I'm not exaggerating. I'd be shocked if 277 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: he hasn't had twenty ham sandwiches in the last week, 278 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: two or three a day. Wow. But you know, I'm 279 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: a guy. I had my first belt when I was 280 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: forty five, and I remember coming on the air the 281 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: next day and saying, the belt is amazing.

You can tell a progressive, can't you, 313 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: Because they hurl around the nomenclature, the terminology they learned 314 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: in college and in their marchist training classes. That's reporter 315 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: Brandy Cruz talking to Washington State Representative Sean Scott about 316 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: what was what's called a chilling warning from my Microsoft 317 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: new Washington state taxes trying to soak corporations in the 318 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: quote unquote rich are going to drive high paying jobs 319 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: right out of the state.

Democrats and newly elected Seattle mayor 332 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: Katie Wilson have campaigned on raising taxes on wealthy residents 333 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: and large companies. Tech has become the political punching bag 334 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: of choice. Cast is the villain in the region's affordability crisis, 335 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: even as the industry powers Washington's economy. I hate I 336 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: don't know what do you call them progressives. Mmmm is 337 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: that the right name? Or I don't even know? I 338 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: hate you? Oh you don't think you hate them? You're dumb. 339 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: Wait till I play that. You're completely ignorant of how 340 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,719 Speaker 1: the world works. You just think that, like multi billion 341 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: dollar corporations will just keep cranking out money for your 342 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: town or state or this country, regardless of how you 343 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: treat them. It's just what the millionaire has been, just 344 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: indoctrinated into this fantasy view of how humanity works by 345 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: smart but insidious people, and they swallow it whole, and 346 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: they spout it out. They repeat the mantras. There's no 347 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: original or critical thought here. You're just demand. It's just 348 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: demanded of you that you repeat the mantras. So anyway, 349 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: this Brandy Cruse, the reporter continues the conversation with the 350 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: state Repshawn Scott. Listen to this. 351 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 4: Would you would you like them to leave? Representative Scott? 352 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 4: Do you think that Amazon and Microsoft are a net 353 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 4: good for our state? 354 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 5: Say more about that? 355 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: When you say thatt good, what do you mean? 356 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: Do you think they contribute and add more value to 357 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 4: our state than they detract? 358 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 5: I think that workers, were they to collectivize, could come 359 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 5: up with something like Amazon on their own, but that 360 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 5: Amazon can't has a very difficult time providing the value 361 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 5: that you would like to see in reverse. In other words, 362 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 5: I think that working people getting together, forming unions, coming 363 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 5: out and lobbying for policies such as this could create 364 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 5: something that resembled that Amazon corporation without that added layer 365 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 5: of exploitation. But I don't know that Amazon's leadership, such 366 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 5: as it is, would be able to do something that 367 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 5: on its own. So I'm much more concerned with the 368 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 5: social good of people that are in Washington State, that 369 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 5: want to be here, that believe in Washington State enough 370 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 5: to fight for well funded public programs, and they can 371 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 5: speak for themselves through other channels that they would like 372 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 5: to those. 373 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: Too many words, the correct answer to that question was yes, yeah, yes, yes, 374 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: it is a net good that we have Amazon in 375 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: the state. How great was this idea that if workers 376 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: unionize and band together, they can come up with their 377 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: own socialist Amazon and get that going and have all 378 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,959 Speaker 1: the benefits without exploitation, Because creating one of the what 379 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: two or three most successful companies in the history of 380 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: the world is easy. Yeah, the workers can just band 381 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: together and do it instead of the evil capitalist. You're 382 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: an idiot. You're just these people are idiots. They're driving 383 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: me crazy because they're moronic. Seriously, go home and feed 384 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: fairy dust to your pet unicorns, or because you have 385 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: no connection with reality. Does people believe no understanding of 386 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: how the world actually works. I think he believes that. 387 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: S oh, he does one hundred percent. Yeah, that's my point. 388 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: He lives in a fantasy world. And he's, you know, 389 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: a popularly elected the government official in Washington State. Even 390 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: some Democrats are sounding alarms now. Of course, virtually everybody 391 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: gets office in except for Eastern Washington, is a Democrat. 392 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,959 Speaker 1: But the Commerce director Joe Nwinn, who himself is a 393 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: proud Progressive, He told Bloomberg that he has spent time 394 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: and this is smart. Mister Newinn, you are not a 395 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: unicorn writing jackass. You might be wrong about stuff, but 396 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: I congratulate you on your realism. He has spent his 397 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: time studying rust belt cities that collapsed after driving out employers, 398 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: and he has been telling lawmakers that punitive taxes risk 399 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: repeating that history says, quote, if you want to tax 400 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 1: the rich, you have to have rich people to tack. 401 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: If you want to protect workers. They have to have 402 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: jobs to work in. It's a good point, great coverage 403 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: as usual from our colleagues at Seattle read seven to 404 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: seventy Am Jalens tip my cap to whoever that reporter was. 405 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: What a great question to ask somebody like that, do 406 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: you think this company is a net plus? And then 407 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: just let them answer that, let them hang themselves by 408 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: their own nonsense, because any answer other than yes is moronic. 409 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: I mean, even if they were like relatively abusive, I mean, 410 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: like your worst version of capitalism you can possibly come 411 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: up with, it still would be a net positive for 412 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: the state because people are voluntarily working there, and the 413 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: amount of tax money you're getting, jobs and tax money 414 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 1: you're getting, it's just overwhelming. Right, Microsoft is not enslaving people, 415 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: all right. The Microsoft cavalry didn't come across the hills 416 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: conquer sat and has now enslaved the poor residence. They're 417 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: there voluntarily. You check ass, you know where to even 418 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: start with somebody that well, he's a cultist. He's been 419 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: convinced of reality that is not real, which reminds me. 420 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: I read a great piece I think it was in 421 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: It was in the Dispatch, talking about one of Friedrich 422 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: Hayek's books, which I haven't read, and I'm going to 423 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: buy it and add it to the stack of stuff, 424 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: and at some point which one I'm gonna go wild? 425 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: Reading The Use of Knowledge in Society, which came out 426 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: eighty years ago last month, it's not nearly as well 427 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: known as The Road to serf Them. I read that, 428 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: which is his all time, you know, great, it's his 429 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: stairway to Heaven. But the Use of Knowledge in Society 430 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: Hayek lays out society's fundamental e economic challenge quite clearly. 431 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: It's not merely a problem of how to allocate given resources, 432 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: in other words, settling the usual who gets what and 433 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: how debate. It's a knowledge problem. How can we make 434 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: the best, most efficient use of our limited resources when 435 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: no single entity, even like a vast government, can know 436 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: everything there is to know about a given economy. And 437 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: if you're familiar with the Great Sai Pencil, you know 438 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: what we're getting at here. Can But can a team 439 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: of the world's greatest economists come close to accounting for 440 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 1: what a factory will pay for steel, what it will 441 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: do next if it can't find that price, and what 442 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: every employee or steel using industry and those companies employees 443 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: will do once they are affected. The ripple effects are 444 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: endless and unknowable, as Pete bolt key rights in the dispatch, 445 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: and planners can't know what firms employees are willing to 446 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: pay for a sandwich outside the plant, or what the 447 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: sandwich maker, breadmaker, and meat supplier, each with their own 448 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: set of countless unknowable circumstances, are willing and able to 449 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: do to meet the worker's price. There's simply too much 450 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: information underlying even the simplest seeming economic transactions, and the 451 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: free market solves all of that and nearly instantaneously, over 452 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: and over and over again. It's a miracle of efficiency, 453 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: and yet we keep effing with it. The government does, 454 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: or the fools who believe in big government to try 455 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: to gain the utopia. Leave it alone? Can can you 456 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: play that last clip that we played again? We won't 457 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: play the whole thing, but I want to hear the 458 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: first thing. It's so good? 459 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 4: Would you like them to leave? Representative Scott do you 460 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 4: think that Amazon and Microsoft are a net good for 461 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 4: our state? 462 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: Say more about that. 463 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 5: When you say that good, what. 464 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: Do you mean? 465 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 4: Do you think they contribute and add more value to 466 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 4: our state than they detract. 467 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 5: I think that workers or they he goes off on 468 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 5: his rent. 469 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: So it's just if mind blowing to me. So you 470 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: think the state would be better off if AM and 471 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: Microsoft were somewhere else, Well, yes, because the workers could 472 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: develop a perfect socialist Amazon. Of course they would have, 473 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,719 Speaker 1: and they haven't just because they've been held back by 474 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: the evil capitalists. 475 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 4: That is so nuts. 476 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: There are arguments where you know, you're I'm right, but 477 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: they got a twenty percent decent point of where but 478 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: this one is just this one's open and shut. Oh yeah, yeah, 479 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: it's it's fanciful. It's ridiculous. I mean, if you said, well, yes, 480 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: of course, but if you look at their rate of 481 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: on the job accidents, they're mistreating workers. Okay, let's talk. 482 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: That's fine, let's talk. But no, we should build a 483 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: worker Amazon, and then a worker Apple, and then a 484 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: workers of the world unite open AI and to have 485 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: workers develop all the great medications that are saving so 486 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: many lives these days. But yeah, why start with a jack. 487 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: You don't need to go into all that. The answer is, yes, 488 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: is a net positive for the state to have Amazon 489 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: and Microsoft here? Yes, a freaking course it is right. 490 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: Every other state would crawl on their knees over broken 491 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: glass to have Amazon or Microsoft in their state. Is 492 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: it a good thing to saw off your hand with 493 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: a rusty saw? What do you mean by good thing? 494 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: Expound on that? Would you? Yeah, expound on that? But well, yeah, 495 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: that's that's uh, that's the person who has completely lost 496 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: their head. Wow, I would you know. I'd like to 497 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: ask a representative, Scott. I'm not going to threaten him 498 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: with a hammer or a sickle, but I'd like to 499 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: ask him, why do you think states, counties, countries compete 500 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: feverishly to get these companies to build a headquarters, build 501 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: a plant there? What do you suppose that is? Is 502 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: it possibly? Because yes? It's an effing that positive view, 503 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: jackass butt clown. Wow, there are some ideas so idiotic 504 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: only an intellectual could hold them, ye, Thomas Sowell. Ye. 505 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: And there are intellectuals who heard that answer and nodded 506 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: their head. It made sense to them. Collectivist Amazon, Yes, 507 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: let's get to work on that, you weirdo. It'd be 508 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: like a Soviet you know, tank factory. Every is efficient 509 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: and profitable. Jack Armstrong and Joe the Armstrong and Getty Show, 510 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: the arm Strong and Getty Show, the LATINX stuff that. 511 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 3: By the way, no one person ever in my office 512 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 3: has ever used the word LATINX. 513 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: So can we finally put that to bed? Yeah? But 514 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: where did that even? Know? More lax everybody? Well, I 515 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: just didn't even know where it came from, And like, 516 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: what are people talking about? 517 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 3: I hope we can really paint a picture in terms 518 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 3: of our consciousness of how impactful. 519 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: This has been on the LATINX community. About three quarters 520 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: of in the state that. 521 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 3: Have fallen behind and rent represented the Latino and African American. 522 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: Community, the LATINX and Black communities. 523 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 3: You've got politicians that are banning not assault rifles, but 524 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 3: the word latin X. 525 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: They're not even serious. Wow, that's even further so. That's 526 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom doing his bro podcasts that he's doing all 527 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: across the country now as he tries to be like 528 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: just a regular guy running for president, and he's doing 529 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: a pretty good job of it might work for him, 530 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: but claiming that LATINX whoever even heard of that before? 531 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: What does that even mean? And then a little montage 532 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: of him using the term in recent years, including one 533 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: in where he's fighting against, trying to take away the 534 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: word LATINX, blasting anybody who would dare disparage it. Oh boy, 535 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: but oh bet it works. People don't hear the you know, 536 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: like in newspapers or books, there's the big headline and 537 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: then there's a little sentence underneath. People don't hear the 538 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: sentence underneath. Ninety percent of people, they just get the 539 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: big headline of everything, of every story. And that's funny. Though. 540 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: He's got to run away from so much of that 541 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: stuff because it's so freaking crazy. Oh yeah, I mean yeah. 542 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: The least is long of policies that are abhorrent to 543 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: most Americans and or results that are abhorrent to Americans. 544 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,719 Speaker 1: For instance, as we outlined last our cal unicorney has 545 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: lost one hundred and a half hundred thousand private sector 546 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: jobs and added three hundred and sixty one thousand government 547 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: jobs since twenty twenty two. It's just astonishing. Well, let's 548 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: let's be happy about this stuff, though people. Rather than 549 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: condemning the hypocrisy, we should be happy. He understands that 550 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: he needs to run away from the nonsense like trans 551 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: boys in girls sports or the term LATINX, which is 552 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: one of the dumbest things that's ever happened in my lifetime. 553 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: He has to run away from it if he wants 554 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: to be president. He is determined, and he's right, and 555 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: that's good news, right it is. Although don't let down 556 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: your guard because we've received I don't know half a 557 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: dozen emails just in the last forty eight hours from 558 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: folks that are getting ready to get back in the 559 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: classroom as teachers in California and are going through their 560 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: state mandated DEI white supremacist woke doctrine right now. They're 561 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: getting educated in that quote unquote educated. So getting back 562 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: to Gavy, and we talked about this fairly recently. If 563 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: you're just tuning in, but the whole bed bath and 564 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: beyond thing, the head of bed bath and beyond. Do 565 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: you have that statement or I mean for people who 566 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: are not familiar, just real quickly, yes, I do. I'm sorry, 567 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: this is I got the other screen up about shreking, 568 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: a dating trend in which people are dating unattractive people 569 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: on purpose. That story we got to get to later 570 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: this hour. Yes, yes, yes, and different species of giraffes. Yes, 571 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: I already did the giraffes shreaking. We will do this 572 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: hour though it's an actual thing, and it's really quite 573 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: an entertaining way. So the CEO of Bed, Bath and 574 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: Beyond puts out a statement yesterday, we will not operate 575 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: or open retail stores in California. This decision isn't about politics, 576 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: It's about reality. California has created one of the most overregulated, 577 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: expensive and risky environments for business in America. It's a 578 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: system that makes it harder to employ people, harder to 579 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: keep doors open, and harder to deliver value to customers. 580 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: The result higher taxes, higher fees, higher wages that many 581 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: businesses simply cannot sustain. And then Gavin Newsom, in a 582 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: snarky social media post yesterday, replied. 583 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 2: The company that already went bankrupt and closed every store 584 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 2: across the country two years ago. 585 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so Gavin, here is my response to 586 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: your sarcasm anti rooms. Oh yeah, foyer window will get 587 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: me started, window treatments, that's all absolutely yes, although you 588 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: do have windows in beds and baths. Michael. So it's 589 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: a good point. Yeah, Okay, where were we? I'm sure 590 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: there was a thread? Oh yes, so Gavin's snark about 591 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: a ceo saying your state is so hostile to business 592 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: and so difficult to operate in we're not even gonna try. 593 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: And instead of addressing policy, he says, Oh, yeah, the 594 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,760 Speaker 1: same company that went bankrupt and closed all their stores 595 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 1: two years ago. Let me explain something to you, Gavin. 596 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: Because you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, 597 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: you've been successful in business because you've been bankrolled up 598 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: to your ears by all of your rich relatives. Uh. 599 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: But here's the way it works. Big companies sometimes failed 600 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: to adjust with the times. Something you know, changes whatever, 601 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,919 Speaker 1: they're unsuccessful, they declare bankruptcy and they reorganize. Bed Bath 602 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: and Beyond has a lot of fans. It's a cool store. 603 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: I'm a fan, Judy and I shop there for a 604 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: lot of stuff for years and years, and we're super 605 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: bummed to hear it was closing. Well, now they're reopening 606 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: with a little different concept that's going to be better 607 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 1: for consumers and more likely to be a successful business. 608 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: It's the very thing we treasure in America, Gavin, Innovation, adaptation, 609 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: creativity and sticking to it. And these people who are 610 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: doing that said, the one place we're not going to 611 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: bother is California because it's so hostile to business. Go ahead, Gavey, 612 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: give us some more of your clever, clever snark. Ah, 613 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: what a blank. That was the perfect way to end 614 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: my screed. The Armstrong and Getty Show
