And he 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.440 is engaged as long and as frequently as possible. 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.200 And I feel like they can count on desperation I 0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:59.960 hate to use that word, but you know, or desire 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.640 desires a better word. They can count on desire for 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:09.640 companionship or less to keep people around. But anyway, we've 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.120 got some interesting texts on that. We'll get to it 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:11.560 a little bit. 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.360 You know, I'm so a old and married that you 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:20.280 know all of this. It's it's just something I hear about. 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.520 I have no personal experience whatsoever. 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:24.960 I'm not married, but I have no personal experience with 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.880 the with it. It sounds it just seems awful to me, 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.200 But it might be because I grew up in a 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:30.160 world where nobody did that. 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.000 Yeah, I had This is a weird experience. 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.000 But I was on an airplane and the guy in 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:36.559 front of me to my left, so I could see, 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:40.039 like between the seats exactly what he was doing. And 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.440 he was a young guy, good looking guy is twenties, 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.320 flipping through one of the dating sites, swiping left, and 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:54.360 it struck me how utterly bored and listless he was 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.600 doing it. It was like he was a you know, 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.760 the accounting supervisor, just flipping through the reports of his 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.360 own nderlings to make sure there are no obvious mistakes. 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:07.880 There was zero joy, yeah, or like not even lust. 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.720 It was it was a weird juxtaposition of what he 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:13.760 was doing in his obvious body language. 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:14.120 Yeah. 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.639 I get that sense from some people I know who 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.480 do the online dating a lot, that it's there's there's 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.399 a certain amount of that. It's almost like out out 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.160 of boredom, I need something to do, as opposed to 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:32.040 you know, looking for the biggest connection and decision you're 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:33.120 ever going to make in your life. 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.519 Yeah, yeah, anyway, more on that, if we have time 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:40.600 to squeeze it in moron WHOOPI Goldberg's moronic statement that 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.800 being black in America is worse than being a woman 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.880 in Iran, or something to that effect. But first, it's 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:48.919 Friday tradition. Let's take a fond look back at the 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.239 week that was. It's cow clips of the week. 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.840 Squeezy feline way implying it. I just called it. I 0:02:54.840 --> 0:03:00.160 think a sleezy feline. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.360 The IC continues to monitor closely if Tehran decides to 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.200 reauthorize its nuclear weapons program. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:08.360 Paso yo. 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:18.120 Is our pilots will deal blows to the Aetoa regime 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.040 that they cannot even imagine. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.560 You're going to see some surprises that will make the 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.400 deeper almost seem simple. 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.920 The Israel identified a window to kill Ayatola Ali Hamoni. 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.320 The president says, we know exactly where the so called 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:34.400 Supreme Leader is hiding. 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.160 He is an easy target. 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:42.320 Two very simple words, a very simple unconditional surrender. Iran 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:46.160 Supreme Leader has said unconditional surrender is effectively out of. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:50.120 The question, and this isn't the generational moment. You and 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:51.800 I may do it. I may not do it. 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.480 I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. Based 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.760 on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.240 that may or may not take place with Iran in 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.320 the near future. I will make my decision whether or 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.040 not to go within the next two weeks. 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.040 But it's also going to end, I believe, Trump's presidency 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.240 and effectively end it. 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:13.280 Why are we so afraid of them? Why are they 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:14.840 the biggest threat of throw a week country that's on 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:15.520 its knees. 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.720 Because they're trying trying to keep track, they're trying to 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.600 develop that be a little less snarky. 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.560 I know you're right, that is a problem that I have. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.680 I'm sorry, No, it's all you're doing your threat. Well 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.080 you just said threat. Would you like to rewind the tape? 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.120 And by the way, why are you being so defensive? 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.000 All of a sudden, You've gotten very, very defensive, And 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.280 I just wonder it must have been working. I must 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.039 have hit a hot spot with you or something to 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.640 be so defensive. Here in Washington, it was a celebration 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.080 officially to mark the Army's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:49.640 Authority say a suspected gunman impersonating a police officer targeted 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.200 to Democratic lawmakers. 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:56.120 The Supreme Court's conservative majority upholding Tennessee's ban on some 0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.080 gender affirming medical care for the Panthers, we. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.240 Are back to back, stayed like top champions. Then I 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:08.800 tried popperman Our prescription helps your body secrete a special 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.200 pheromone that attracts puppies. 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.360 I think it's very different in the United States in 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:15.880 twenty twenty five than it is to live in. 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.760 A lot of you for everybody, not if your black 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.880 who watches those hags and it's both handcuffed. 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:31.520 And march down a hallway repeatedly asking why am I 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:32.560 being detained? 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.479 Thank you for your attention to this matter. 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.279 If you put that Alex Padilla a clip on a 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.440 loop and just played it over and over again, I 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.480 think it would take me a solid seven or eight 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.560 minutes to get tired of it, right, I would still 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:48.960 be giggling after five. 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.640 Here's a headline that helped me get rid of my 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.600 breakfast therapy. It's therapy bro Summer. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:01.120 Oh, for God's sake, can we stop naming our summers? Immediately? 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:07.600 Stop naming summers and moons Hot Girl Summer brat summer. 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:12.400 Whatever the hell in the moon's summer moon ro what 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:17.440 is there are? Summer summer? All right? So with some texts. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:18.640 We got this from last hour. 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.279 If you don't know what we're talking about it, grab 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.160 the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. Jack next time, 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.320 don't goose step as you walk to your car and 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:26.400 you won't have that problem. 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:28.880 It's a very good point. There's a good suggestion. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.600 It's how he keeps the sam strings loose. It's excellent 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.360 for flexibility on the whole online dating thing. Online dating 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:37.479 is fine, but it gets old. 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.800 I had good experiences, but some of my friends were 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.880 all men, had bad experiences. Because then I did read 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.279 this in one article. I was reading about this because 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:50.520 it's like ninety ninety to one women to men. You 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:59.160 can be way juicier. Obviously it's just math, right Anyway, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.119 this is the way it out. Average women all want 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:06.000 highly desirable men, whereas average men are perfectly happy with 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:15.640 average women. That's his take. Hmm, I don't know. Somebody 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.119 suggested a dating app, I'm not looking for one. After 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.800 my divorce at age thirty eight, I turned to Tinder 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.440 and tried dating for the first time in eighteen years. 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:29.680 I had some fun lots of fake profiles and actual prostitutes, 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.160 but you just have to filter through them. Every article 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:38.320 I've read about this said never ending bots in fake profiles. 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.920 So I think that is happens, like happens with anything 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:46.120 in the modern world. If a site is good and 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.560 successful and working for people, it will be taken over 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.480 by bots and then no longer be good, right until 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:54.520 a new one comes along. 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.040 Yeah, boy, that's really annoying. Yeah, what are the bots. 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.440 Trying to accomplish and dating sites? And what do they 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:01.840 look like? 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:06.280 Maybe you know, I'm sure it's scammers to a large extent, 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.520 but I actually have a handful of AI headlines that 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.760 are kind of interesting as it's taking over the world 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.760 in fits and starts. This person so hallucinating, as we 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.280 learned personally earlier. 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.440 Just to end this text, turned after my divorce age 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.400 thirty eight, turned to tender blah blah blah, did a 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.600 lot of dating, found a great gal and have had 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.920 an amazing relationship for two years, going strong. 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:28.400 Ps. 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:33.000 I'm fat, have kids and crazy hobbies. See he found 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.360 dates even being fat and having crazy hobbies. Whatever those 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:36.320 crazy hobbies are. 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:41.720 How crazy like killing neighborhood cats or human bird houses, 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:47.480 human taxidermy. That's crazy and she was willing to overlook 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:47.960 it apparently. 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:51.960 Wow, you know what, I've got a riff on that 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.040 going through my head right now, but it's probably too disgustingly, 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.560 so for once in my life, I'll restrain myself. So 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:05.199 some AI news really good commentary on Tucker Carlson's conversation 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:13.320 with Ted Cruz, which touches on his unfair style of 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:22.640 arguing and selective facts, among other things. Was that a 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:26.520 tease for later, let's tease for later? Oh, okay, gotcha, 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:28.280 and we will get to that. 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.240 Yeah, we probably ought to update you on where things 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.040 are with potential war with Iran since that has been 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.840 kind of put on the back burner, or maybe that's 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.959 a faint as they say, m Yeah, Trump said I'll 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.760 make a decision in two weeks because they're going to 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:43.400 do it today. 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:44.400 I don't know. 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.000 And where's the whole Israel's claim that we've got something 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.840 that will make the Beeper operation seem like nothing is 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:51.360 that coming? 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:52.880 I don't know. Stay tuned. 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.800 As an operator someone who's been a combatant commander of 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.720 the the United States. The first thing I think is 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.679 could this possibly be a ruse of some kind to 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.480 kind of blow the Iranians into a false sense of security. I, 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.400 for one, noted the President didn't say I'll make a. 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.800 Decision after two weeks. He said within two weeks. To me, 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:22.960 that's keeping open the possibilities. So point one, could this 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:27.040 be a way to sort of soothe the Iranians and 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.120 make them feel not as jumpy? 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.480 Yeah, former NATO commander there with that obvious point, I think, 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.600 but what is amazed when people break down phrases like that, 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.559 like it's a legal document. He said within two weeks, 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.800 not after two weeks, And so if he bombed after 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:45.439 two weeks, what are. 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:46.360 You going to sue him? 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:46.640 Or? 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.640 I mean, yeah, And I just don't know enough about 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:55.240 the jumpiness of Iran, as General Straveritez put it, and 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.320 how that affects their preparedness, say to shoot down one 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.200 of our P two stealth bombers or something. 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:01.920 So well, but my point is Trump could come out 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.000 today and say I've decided to never bomb Iran. It 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:05.600 was a terrible idea, I'm never doing it, and then 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.360 bomb a half hour later. He's allowed to do that. 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.679 So parsing his words seems weird to me. There is 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.720 a pull from you Gov that came out that's getting 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.360 a fair amount of attention because it's one of your 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:20.480 respected polling organizations. Where well, I'll hit you with the 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:25.760 exact phrasing of the question, which is important always uh 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:33.040 if I can find it. Should the US military get 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.640 involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran? Should the 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:41.040 US military get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran? 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:46.040 Only sixteen percent yes. Got to admit I thought it 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.720 was a lot higher than that sixteen percent yes. Now 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.839 they're twenty four percent unsure, but that's only brings you 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.760 up to forty percent. It's a sixty forty no. 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:55.840 Yeah. 0:11:55.840 --> 0:12:00.640 I have quibbles, quibbles that the question seems design to 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:04.559 suppress the yes vote because it is so open ended, 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:08.480 which is not completely unfair. I will grant you that 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:13.200 the US military becomes involved. I mean that covers an 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.240 enormous range of levels of involvement. 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:17.720 Yeah. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.679 I think it's more fair than, though, than saying, should 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.920 the United States help rand bomb the FORHDO nuclear site? 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.959 Because there's just such a big chance when you unleash 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.199 the dog's war of it becoming. 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.160 More than that, right, Although. 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.920 I think pointing that out in the question is prejudicial 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:44.280 as opposed to polling people's attitudes about bombing the photo site, 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.160 because that's what we're talking about, because a certain percentage 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.880 of people would essentially think what you just said an 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:55.040 answer Accordingly, if you hand them the excuse to say 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.080 no in the question, that's prejudicial to me. 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:58.600 You aren't surprised that even the. 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.440 Way it's worded, it's only sixteen percent yes, no, No, Yeah, 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:02.680 I am. 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.160 It's pretty low. It's very low and. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:11.840 A long party. You break it down by party, it 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.400 largely holds up across party line. Sixty five percent of 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:19.080 Democrats are a no, sixty one percent of independence are 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.920 a no, and even fifty three percent of Republicans are 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:23.120 a no. 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:27.839 So I don't know where that leaves you. 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.840 I mean, the president shouldn't be making this decision based 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:36.559 on polls, and you know, if it's successful, nobody will 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:37.600 care what this poll was. 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:43.960 Yeah, I'm looking at this Grayhouse polling poll. It's getting 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.439 so much attention because it had very different numbers, and 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.520 I don't believe I'd ever heard of this organization. I'm 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.240 looking at the way the poll's constructed seems perfectly legitimate, 0:13:55.280 --> 0:14:01.000 but it is such an outlier. Do you support or 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.600 oppose Israel's recent military strikes against Iron's nuclear facilities and 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.480 military targets strongly support is sixty seven percent. 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.080 I find that hard to believe. 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.000 I think it's sixteen shocked me for being so low, 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.520 but dang, near two thirds seems really high. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.760 Yeah, but that's a different question though. Yeah, you caught 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.880 that right, Yeah, uh yeah, yeah. Interesting. 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:24.440 I tell you what, it's a hell of a job 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:28.240 sorting through information data journalism. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:29.560 Well these days I. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.200 Come back often, which I hate to even mention it 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:33.800 on the air because it destroys like. 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.479 Half of our show. 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.400 But Sarah is ger of The Dispatch who has been 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.720 involved in polling for presidential campaigns and all kinds of 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.440 different stuff. Super smart person. She says, issue polling is 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.680 very close to worthless because because of the way you 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:54.320 can nudge people different directions, and because they're no or 0:14:54.480 --> 0:15:02.520 yes doesn't necessarily reflect where they are anyway. You have 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.520 a tendency to say no on things you could be 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.160 brought over to yes like that or vice versa. 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:12.280 Right, Yeah, that's what was usually, you know. 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.040 One example might be uh, you hated every time I 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.560 point out that during the election, two thirds of people 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.840 said they wanted every undocumented person in the country booted out. 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:28.400 Right, That was a directional statement, not a literal statement, right, yeah, yeah, 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.600 look at them and talking about them, though, because this 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.080 sort of thing is useful. I think the reverse of 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.560 that would be if it becomes a bigger news story 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:42.000 that the Trump administration is raiding farms and restaurants and 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.280 whatever and booting out people that have no other crime 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.560 other than being here here illegally. 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:52.440 That's going to pull very poorly. But people at the 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:53.680 end of the day are going to be happy that 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:57.960 it happened. I think as a majority that we really 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.440 stopped illegal immigration and finally did something about it. 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.320 If indeed that last part comes true, and this is 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.760 what I was trying to express poorly, I think this 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:12.840 sort of discussion about issues. Polling is useful because in 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.600 most other forms people just hear the number and say, oh, 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.480 how interesting, And you know, that is a nugget of information, 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.320 but it really needs to be interpreted. 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.760 So my gripe. 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.280 Against the point of view you just expressed this, I 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.400 don't a I don't think that's right. I think more 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:33.240 people than you think are soft hearted about the honest, 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:37.880 hard working illegal immigrant in America once they see the 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:43.040 reality the round up. I say, support continues to decline 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.720 the more people are confronted with the reality of it. 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.600 Man, I think you get to the next presidential election, 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.600 the party that stopped illegal immigration and did something about 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.640 it is going to be rewarded rather than. 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:56.720 Penalized. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:01.920 Don't make me drop another sea bomb? Does Congress even 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:03.400 know there it is? The sea bomb? 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.280 Does Congress even know they're supposed to pass laws? 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.439 At this point, I'd rather hear the actual sea bomb 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:10.920 than the word you just used. 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:16.880 That's how offensive I find it. Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.200 Driving to uh Dodgers game tonight, Me and my son 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:22.120 gonna be a lot of fun. 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:22.800 Can't wait. 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.600 Just received a little communic key from my wife. I 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.720 think we're caught up in a Kafka novel. I'm not 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:37.080 sure how it happened, but we are, or a Gulag archipelago. 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:42.000 It's some sort of bizarro bureaucratic nightmare. Well, maybe I'll 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:43.640 describe it before the show is over. 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.040 And what you got to give us a rough idea 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:48.600 of what category we're talking. 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:53.159 About well, my wife has been jailed for quadruple homicide 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.200 and as it turns it, no, I'm kicking h no. 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.200 So we're doing this remodel project that I've talked about 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:04.000 several times and to ease cash flow situations because we 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:08.400 have the money, but we're getting a home equity line 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.840 of credit. So if the contractor says, hey, we need 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.280 to X amount right now, and you know, we don't 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.280 have that much cash leaning around, we'll say, okay, great, 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.080 we'll just tap the line. So anyway, we've been we 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:26.040 actually switched banks because of it's boring. But so the 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.840 finances are completely fine. We're borrowing a tiny fraction of. 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:30.520 The value of the house. 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:36.160 Blah blah blah. The these have. 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:39.040 To send an appraiser out and he has to delay 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.160 a week because he's on vacation or something like that. 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.920 So he comes out and he looks around and he says, oh, 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:48.600 oh my, you've already taken down the railing on your 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:50.879 back patio because it's elevated a little bit. 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.080 And he says, that's okay. So that's uh. 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.600 I mean, this house is not technically up to code 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.679 now and because the work has begun blah, blah blah. 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.480 And the bank lady just talked to my wife, I guess, 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:07.640 and said, yeah, because the work it already begun, they're 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:09.800 not sure if they can underwrite you. 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.280 And and and I'm like, well, wait a second, wait 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:13.040 a say, wait a second. 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.680 So if the appraiser had shown up the previous day, 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:21.520 everything would be fine. Yes, even though we're doing the 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:26.680 same work in the same way, on the same schedule, 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.000 and we need the money for the same reason, and 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:33.240 it's the same house with the same value, it's just 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:37.479 the day of the week your guy showed up to 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:38.520 do the appraisal. 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:45.359 Now everything's been queered. What are you talking about? You know, 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:47.359 I learned one lesson one time. 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.639 I didn't know this, but if an elect if an 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:55.159 actual electrician lis this is a way it is in California. 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:59.320 Have an actual electrician. Once they open something up, when 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:00.760 they find stuf, it has to. 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:01.800 Be brought up to code. 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:06.800 So particularly on like rural properties like I'd been living 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:08.760 on for the last twenty years, where people tend to 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:12.160 do stuff themselves without permits and everything like that, which 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:13.760 is one of the things I love about living in 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.679 the country. But you get an actual electrician and they 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.159 open up the wall. They have to bring everything up 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.840 to code by law. And one time I had this, 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:24.760 like I was just trying to get an outlet working 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:25.520 and I didn't know this. 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:26.080 All the time. 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:27.800 All I want to do is get this outlet working, 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:32.120 and it ended up costing like eight thousand dollars. Wow. 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.159 They have to bring everything up to code. Wow. So 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.879 they become like ad hoc code enforcers. Yes, if they 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:43.000 see it's like a mandatory reporter of like childhood. Yes, yeah, 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:48.040 good example. Yeah, I just dude, do you think we 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:49.480 have plenty of money to pay you back? 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.240 Oh yeah? Do you think the value of the house 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.600 morton covers the loan? I mean, like by multiples? Oh 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.159 yeah yeah yeah yeah, So why can't we have the 0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:01.760 line of credit? Well, we don't underwrite already begun projects 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:03.720 buy a. 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:05.120 Day through that sort of thing. 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:08.280 Bureaucracy stuff makes me insane, Like I could, I could. 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.320 I could become violent over bureaucracy stuff anything. 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:13.240 Since I was a little kid, I've always been this way. 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:15.520 Well, because that's a rule, but it doesn't make any 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:16.919 sense in this situation. 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.080 It doesn't make any difference. So why don't we ignore 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:21.280 that rule? Well, it's the rule. 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.240 You know, if I had enough money, I would buy 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:27.720 the bank and walk in and fire all the employees 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:31.320 and say, if i'd come here yesterday, you'd still have 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:33.560 your jobs. But I'm coming today, so I'm going to 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:37.760 fire you all because I don't employ you know, people 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:38.960 I meet on Tuesdays. 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.919 So and that's a rule. So you know what the 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:44.800 blank and blank I'm telling you. 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.720
