But one 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:37.480 interesting thing is that you ought to be aware of 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.120 if you haven't caught onto this. It's almost all Democrats 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:46.199 and lefty pundits that are beaten up on this Platiner guy, 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.840 Platiner guy now trying to drive him out of the race.

Yeah. 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.519 Yeah, Hey, back to Ukraine just for a second. I 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.680 thought it was super interesting his piece in the Washington 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.080 Post that pressure is mounting on Putin over how to 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.160 end the war because they're offensive, stall, they're running out 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.880 of guys, blah blah blah. Financial resources are dwindling in 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.880 the Russian officials have been issued increasingly shrill threats to 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.000 intensify bombings of Kiev and are making more and more 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:38.959 aggressive moves toward other countries in Europe. They're thinking Putin's 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.000 desperate and about to do something crazy. 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:42.720 I hope they're wrong. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.880 Wow, as we go back and forth, here we're doing 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:51.760 the weave like Trump does. Back to Platner, he's the 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.079 you know, oyster fisherman guy, hard working, regular dude who 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.840 went to a super super fancy boarding school as a kid. 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:06.240 Here's a black progressive pundit on CNN. We've lost the 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:10.639 plot on authenticity to think Graham Platner is costplaying working class. 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.400 He wears it like a Halloween costume that has been 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.119 placed on him by the same people who have run 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:17.680 a lot of progressive people out of. 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.200 The race and blah blah blah blah blah. 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.400 So yeah, he's getting attacked by his own crowd because 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.720 he's They know there's more bad stuff to come out 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.600 before before they do their voting, which I think is 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:33.520 next week. AnyWho saw this headline up on CBS this 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.680 morning didn't actually grab the story, but just saw some 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.600 of the details around it. 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.960 What's behind the to clean and to clean? 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.800 I guess it's kind of a word. You can clean 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.000 and declean. I guess messing something up would be decleaning it. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.720 The judges will allow it what's behind the decline in 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:57.280 teen summer jobs a very tight teen summer job market. 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:00.600 Okay, go ahead. 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.400 There's lots of things, including a whole bunch of you 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.680 who think it's awful for teens to get jobs and 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.920 have put all kinds of restrictions in place. Then we 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.240 got the whole liability law thing which has made it 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.680 very very hard, and all kinds of different jobs that 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.719 used to exist when we were kids, they all went. 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:26.880 Away artificially high minimum wages that one did it sixteen 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.840 year old with no work experience isn't worth What you've 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.920 said is the bottom wage that can be paid, so 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:34.240 they will be paid nothing. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:35.320 Thanks for helping. 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.799 My sixteen year old has applied for a couple of jobs, 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.720 including I'm hoping he gets one at a well known 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.200 coffee company that's not far from me, and it'd be 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:44.800 very easy for him to get to him back on 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:50.120 a regular basis. But yeah, that's a good point in theory. 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.040 They'll hire you with no experience whatsoever and all that. 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.039 But I don't know, do you? 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:55.359 What do you? 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.279 How much do you think it hurts him being a 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.719 white male applying to big corporations like that? 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.400 I don't know these days. I don't know either. 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.839 It doesn't help, certainly, but no, it's not a stroke 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:06.520 in your favor. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:07.320 No. 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:11.960 You know, the The New York Post slash California Post 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:16.160 the other day printed the story that you probably haven't heard. 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.960 I think we touched on it briefly here, but CARLS 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.120 Junior is shutting down nearly fifty California stores over the 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.080 states staggering minimum wage. 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:25.839 As they put. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.160 It, it just doesn't make sense to stay in business anymore, 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.720 so shutting down and all of those people are losing 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:32.240 their jobs. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.680 How many? Almost fifty? 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.839 Wow? 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.280 The biggest franchise e is leading the Chapter eleven action, 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.680 putting forty nine of its California restaurants up for sales 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:46.440 part of the proceedings. 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.240 Blah blah blah. How come they haven't gone with the 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:53.680 touch screen that they're doing at McDonald's. I don't know. 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:58.200 I mean, this is fifty restaurants, not three hundred and fifty. 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.040 But this French owner has had to declare bankruptcy. And 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.400 you know, I don't know the particulars of it, but 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.920 they go into the research done by UCLA and other 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:12.239 places that the minimum wage hike has cost the fast 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:16.279 food sector eighteen thousand jobs just since April twenty four 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.440 when it went into effect, representing a three and a 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.240 half ish percent decline in the sector compared to fast 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.320 food sectors in other parts of the country. 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:26.960 Eighteen thousand people out of work. 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:28.479 I don't know how old you have to be to 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.159 work it to like Burger King or Carls Junior or whatever. 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:36.279 But all the various things, including in the Minimu Waige, 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.279 You're definitely right about that one. That we've done to 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:43.320 stop teenagers from having jobs. It seems so opposite of 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.920 all that we talk about regular in the regularly in 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:50.800 the modern world about young people and their lack of 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.640 maturity and not understanding this or that, and then we've 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.200 made it impossible for them to get jobs, which is 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.640 one of the greatest schools you could ever go to, 0:06:58.800 --> 0:06:59.479 is having a job. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.159 That's well said. I think part of it is the whole. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.080 And I'd love to blame Obama for this, but I 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.480 think he was, you know, he was much as much 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.880 a reflector of this as a leader of it. But 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.960 the attitude that everybody has to go to college, the 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.720 only dignified path in life is to get an undergraduate 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.880 degree and then go sit in a cubicle. 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.120 Or whatever, and that. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:29.360 Working with your hands was somehow embarrassing. The trades were embarrassing. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.920 Kids getting summer jobs and flipping burgers was somehow exploitive 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:36.360 as opposed to a great blanking opportunity, which is how 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:36.960 I looked at. 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:37.440 It, trust me. 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:44.720 Yeah, and it just this demonization of anything but modern university, 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:51.679 shallow intellectualism. Anything else is invalid. It's an ugly embarrassing life. 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:51.920 Boy. 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.960 Both my kids had just been dying to reach the 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.600 age where they could go out and make some money, 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:56.840 have some money in their pocket. 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.760 Yeah. Yeah. 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:05.440 And I saw one of my nieces in particular, her 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.000 maturity over a year once she entered the work place 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:13.360 was absolutely amazing, not surprising, but amazing. 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:18.760 Can you break down maturity more for us, oh, boy, 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.160 in the way that I mean it? 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.720 Well, one went from like talking to a kid like 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.280 to talk into a grown up somehow through the experience 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.360 of dealing with other grownups all the time, I guess. 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:29.760 But just the. 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.160 Topics that would come up about money and all that sort, 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.920 you know, the understanding the value of money, How much 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.360 does that change when you get a job you know, 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.840 your parent's given you a fifty bucks or whatever they 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:45.439 need to go eat with your friends or something. It 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.720 takes on a whole new meaning when you realize how 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.520 long it takes you to make fifty. 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:53.560 Bucks, right, right, Yeah, money becomes a question of time. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.000 that's true. I'd imagine it makes well and I know 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.560 this from experience. It makes people more realist than idealist 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:01.480 than they were. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.400 My brother was talking were I was talking to my 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.959 brother the other day about how the first time his daughter, 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:11.120 who's now in her mid twenties, got a paycheck, and 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:12.959 it's like, wait a second, how come I'm only getting 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.240 this much? You know, because you've never had the whole 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.480 everything taken out before. Well, there's taxes, and then there's 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.240 this so security thing, and then there's this and that, 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:21.880 and there's a little for insurance, and then there's a 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:23.800 bunch of fees you don't know what they are paying 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.240 off the War of eighteen twelve or whatever, and they 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:28.240 took that out of your check too. 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:28.679 Yeah. 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.760 Yeah, well somebody's got to pay for it eventually. 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:32.480 Ah. 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:36.480 And I'm kind of just noodling through this thought. You've 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:43.320 got your entire practically education system, especially universities demonizing capitalism. 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.080 It's a force for evil. It's exploitive of workers. Do 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.520 you go into work for in and out burger, Carl's Junior. 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.160 I was a caddy, among other things, bus boy, half 0:09:54.200 --> 0:10:01.160 a dozen different things. That's not opportunity, that's exploitation. And we're, 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:05.480 you know, on the fifteenth topic of the month, seeing 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:10.040 the fruits of those attitudes being implanted in kids. We're 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.600 hearing them express them now as adults that no, this 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.600 is not an opportunity, it's exploitation. And so we've got 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:20.000 to raise the minimum wage at Carls Junior much much higher. 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.560 And they don't care what the outcome is. They just 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:27.360 care about how espousing that policy makes them look, if 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.520 it makes them look noble. Never mind the eighteen thousand 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.640 people who now don't have a job, or you know, 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.840 they don't even get into the number of folks who've 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:38.000 had their hours cut back. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:39.720 That just it makes me insane. 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.880 You know, the one thing I've never done is work 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.560 a retail or a restaurant or anything where you work 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.240 with we have the public, Oh, we never done that. 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.760 As the one thing you've never done, so you've fornicated 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:57.720 with beasts, you've sacrificed a human to your god or gods. 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.320 You've murdered a political figure. No, workwise, I get it. 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.040 That's funny. I've done that a lot. 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.360 Well, I know a lot most people have. 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.440 And well you've probably never built a fence on the 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.640 top of a hill in the middle of nowhere, all 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.440 day long in twenty degree below weather all alone, which 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.280 I don't know what value you get out of that, but. 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:15.800 I've done that. 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.640 Yeah, and working with the public would definitely be a 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.160 lesson that I'm sure would be helpful in a lot 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.720 of different ways. Yeah, this job has some of that, 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.600 coming through texting, emails and all that sort of stuff, 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:32.679 and every once in a while back in the day 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.319 doing events and meeting people. But I've never worked the 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:39.360 you know, constant customer customer is always right dealing with 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.760 that returning stuff to the store or not liking their meal, 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:44.280 or I've never done that before. 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.240 My son worked at TAJA for a couple of years anyway, 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.679 and he was in like customer service, and he it 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:57.520 was it was a master's degree in a how people 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:04.520 really are as opposed to the fanciful idea that you 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:08.040 have as a young idealistic person. You're always talking about 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.080 how the left always seems every seems to think everybody's 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.400 always trying as hard as they can and the only 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.600 reason somebody'd be down and out is because the system 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.520 was against them or blah blah blah, And my son declan. 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.679 He quickly realized, Oh, there are a lot of scumbags, 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.199 and they lie and they cheat and they steal. They'll 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.120 look you straight in the eye and lie to you. 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.719 They're not down and out. There's scumbag. That's a good 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:29.560 lesson right there. 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.880 Yeah. Do you do retail, Michael yep? I did the 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:35.880 fast food. I serve people yogurt. 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.960 I did restaurant work, all sorts of public stuff. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.320 I would like I did lots of different things at 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.080 this job, but I would uh. For instance, I would 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.280 get to work at like six in the morning. I 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.800 would load a whole bunch of rolls of wire in 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.520 the back of my truck and post hole digger and 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.680 posts and drive off into a field so far away 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.280 from anyone else that I wouldn't see I couldn't see 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:03.920 another human being looking any direction the entire day, and 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.360 at noon I would get out my sack lunch and 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.000 sit there on the ground and eat my sandwich by myself. 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:10.880 Then I would finish my sandwich and go back to 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.400 digging post holes and building my fence, not being able 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.760 to see or talk to And this is pretty smartphone. 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.960 Yeah, see another human being the entire day. At five o'clock, 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.839 I'd drive back and go home. Hell that was pre 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:22.880 brick phone. 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.720 Yeah, oh yeah, can the Mercedes was a Halloween Hollywood producer. 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.640 There's no way to communicate with another human except shouting, pratt, 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:30.240 How good was that? 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.480 Probably for my brain? That kind of solitude good or 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:35.040 ruin us? 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.040 I don't know, right in tell us what you say, 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.040 idiotsat to us mail bag at our stringing kidding hut, 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.000 I got a theory. 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.200 Okay, we got more on the way. Stay here. 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.960 Tracy Morgan, the comedian getting ready for one of his 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.560 biggest gigs, the NBA Finals, Sent to help the city 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.880 and get excited the time Knicks fan is lending his 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:03.640 iconic voice to the subway. 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.240 It's pert Settle Nick fans, It's Tracy Morgan. Game nine, 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:11.239 New York starts on a subway. Do city in arge blue, 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.320 rolling in together, arms and brue skies. Baby. 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.280 Okay, Tracy Morgan doing the voiceover for the subway headed 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.520 to the Knicks game the finals start tomorrow night. Reminding 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.960 you that Tracy Morgan, the comedian, when he was in 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.760 his limo when a Walmart truck hit him, he got 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:36.240 ninety million dollars. Out of that ninety million dollars, that's 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.320 why he's in the front row sitting next to John 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.120 Stewart and Timothy shallowmagy because he got that kind of money. 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:44.240 Yeah. 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:48.080 Wow, I've known somebody who got not nearly that high settlement. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.120 But man, you wouldn't want to go through what they No, no, no, no, no, no, 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.320 get it. No. Yeah, dang. Yeah. 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:59.240 He's a hilarious dude coming up sting and his thoughts 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:03.720 on toxic masculinity. Okay, right now. As a matter of fact, 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:05.120 I just thought it was such a good tease. I 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:06.560 wanted to tease it, even though I'm going to do 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.880 it right now. I actually I think this is really 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.640 interesting and he doesn't really talk about toxic masculinity per se, 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.720 but he says he believes the fact that men no 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:21.080 longer use their hands and physicality on a daily basis 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.200 may be driving a lot of the problems with men, 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.600 however you want to describe it, you know, lacking purpose, 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.200 drug abuse, porn and video games, you know, toxic masculinity 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:37.160 to the extent, it's really an issue. He's he's written 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.880 this musical about the last days of a shipyard in Britain, 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.280 and he says, I work with my hands every day 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.360 as a musician, and I'm lucky. It's a rare thing 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.320 for modern men to actually use their hands and use 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.920 their strength to do anything. We've lost something there. I 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.640 don't have any answers, but maybe the toxicity in society 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.120 at the moment is a result of the fact that 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.880 we've lost a direction for that energy, the male strength. 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:03.920 It's rare. We have to use it. Sure, our. 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.040 Forefathers did not work with their hands out of a 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.560 better character, though they had no choice. 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.400 That's going to be a problem for the entire existence 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:14.840 on earth. 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.880 Sure, but yeah, you gotta you have to go out 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.480 of your way to make yourself work with your hands, 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.520 because most people are not going to make a living 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:23.880 having to use their hands. 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.720 The other thing that's interesting is a what do you 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.720 call it an Anglo file, which I am is that 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:34.720 he blames Margaret Thatcher and her dream of a service economy. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.920 And I would say to Dare Stinger, first of all, 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.160 love the songs, love the songs, but I won't Gosh, 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.480 let's just be friends and hang out together a lot anyway. 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.520 And I would also say to him Margaret Thatcher didn't 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.960 have any effect on the United States, and we've got 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.360 a giant service economy where men can't channel their strengths 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:55.440 into building ships either. 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.680 All right, we kind of had this topic earlier on something, 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.800 but she saw the changes coming. This is what the 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.760 economy is going to be. This is what the modern 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.959 world's going to be. Get prepared for it. You couldn't 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:08.919 have said no to the service economy taking over and 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.040 say we're all gonna build ships or fences or rail 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.160 you know, rail lines or whatever what's gonna happen. 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:19.119 And you know, Roxanne, you shouldn't data prostitutes, think Armstrong 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:19.720 and Getty. 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.800 Finally, in a recent post on x US Ambassador de Grease, 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:30.040 Kimberly Guilfoyle celebrated a new McDonald's location in Athens and 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:34.480 called it a quote the most technologically advanced McDonald's in 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:38.080 all of Europe, which just means the ice cream machine works. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:46.640 Boy, old gilfoil boy. 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:48.720 What do you do when your ex's dad is the 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:52.960 president and says, look, nobody wants you in this country. Well, 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.520 we'll make it easy for you. How about an ambassadorship? 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:57.320 Oh to have that sort of. 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.080 Back Oh, no kidding. Oh, I'd love to do that 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:00.520 if your. 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:02.840 Worst case scenario you end up in Bastard to Greece. 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:05.840 Yeah. Wow wow. 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.560 So a couple of interesting notes from the world of science. 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.399 I'm very curious about science. I like hearing about it. 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.679 I'm not nearly smart enough to comprehend most of it. 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.879 But scientists number one have finally figured out how fast 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:18.560 the universe is expanding. 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:21.600 They've known for. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.679 A very long time, or they think they know that 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.080 there's a big bang in the universe has been expanding 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:31.560 from a single point ever since into what a bigger thing. 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:34.640 Call it creation, called it the Big Bang, whatever you want. 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:38.160 Even about fourteen billion years later, this expansion moves objects 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:41.040 like Galaxy's in it farther away from us, and they're 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:42.760 trying to figure out what the rate of expansion is, 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.119 because then you can extrapolate how old the universe is. 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.199 International gathering of experts last year in Switzerland confirmed that 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:54.320 objects received faster as they become more distant. All right, 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.399 now I'm starting to get glazed eyes, and you know 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.560 the look to once again quote the great on Henley 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:05.960 like cow at a passing train. Uncomprehendingly. For instance, a 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.400 galaxy three million light years away will move away from 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:12.119 us at forty six miles per second. The scientist calculated 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.600 a galaxy at twice that distance would be moving away 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:18.879 at about ninety miles per second. So I can't comprehend that, 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:22.800 but they do illustrate it in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.400 They say that rate is most precise ever calculated. It's 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:30.440 also mind bogglingly small. If you took an empty space 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:33.520 the size of a football field expanding at the rate 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.639 our universe is, it would take more than a million 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:39.720 years to expand by a single centimeter. When you look 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:42.000 at the size of the universe. 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:49.320 The universe is expanding into what the other place over there? 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:52.080 The void? 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:57.600 See that's where my mind gets blown yeah, really fast. 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:01.480 It's like the Book of Genesis. Before the creation, there 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:06.840 was nothing. Ooh wait a minute, nothing is something, well, 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:07.840 space is nothing. 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:13.920 I mean there's nothing, right, but that's something. But before 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:18.520 the big bang, there was just a whole lot of nothing. 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:22.600 It's hard to wrap your head around infinite nothing. 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:26.240 You can't, yes, you can't, or even a little nothing. 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.200 The calculation is called in a question of major scientific theory. 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.800 It's about ten percent faster than what the standard model 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:34.560 of cosmologism changes everything. 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:35.800 Why would they. 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:39.800 Ask cosmetologists anyway, it's essentially the theory of how everything 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:41.640 works in the universe says the rate should be. It's 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.359 about ten percent faster. Anyway, if you're in astrophysics, I 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:45.320 suggest you dig. 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:45.720 More into that. 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.800 I found this even more interesting though, and this is crazy. 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.439 Your son has got to read this. I don't think 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:57.440 I've passed it on to you yet. It's been assumed 0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:01.879 for a long time that humans haven't really changed, adapted, 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.720 evolved in like forty or fifty thousand years. A lot 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.480 of that belief, as they're writing in the Free Press, 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:12.159
