That 17 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 3: is blowing my mind? Hmm. That's why I got so 18 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 3: engrossed in it. 19 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: This new study that's out, Uh, that is contrary to 20 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: everything else we've heard about smartphones and kids. 21 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 3: Everything we believe about kids and phones might be wrong. 22 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: A new study says done by researchers at the University 23 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: of South Florida who had read The Anxious Generation, that 24 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: book we've talked about so much and we're expecting all 25 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,919 Speaker 2: kinds of negative results and believed all that sort of stuff, 26 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: and they found all kinds of things that run completely 27 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: opposite of that that kids who have questions. 28 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: I have questions too, I have a guess too. 29 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: But the groundbreak blah blah blah blah. Middle schoolers in 30 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: particularly socially benefit from having a phone. They tend to 31 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: be have more friends, more outgoing, spend more time away 32 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: from the house, blah blah blah, all these different things. 33 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 3: I think it's absolutely worth considering this. 34 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 2: I already have some contrarian thoughts coursing through my head. 35 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, my immediate My immediate first thought was, it's 36 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: a socioeconomic thing of the kind of people that kids 37 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: that don't have phones. Yeah, I don't think there's that 38 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: many people not getting their kid a phone because it's 39 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: bad for them. 40 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 3: It should be, but it's not. 41 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: I think the kids that don't have phones are from 42 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: families where they just can't afford a phone, and they 43 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: maybe tend to not have as many friends or as 44 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: good a life that's interesting. And I fully admit that 45 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: this is a very first blush, But my scathing indictment 46 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: of their conclusion based on practically no information, is that 47 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 2: I could see that on a very surface level, the 48 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: kids with smartphones, plugged in social media, et cetera, are 49 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: more popular and more plugged into the popular zeitgeist. You've 50 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: spoken about how the kids have to know the cash phrase. 51 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: You know, if you don't know chicken jockey, you're an outcast. 52 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah. So you are, on the surface, 53 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: in the short term, more popular, et cetera, in a culture, 54 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: a technical, technological culture that is ultimately terribly unhealthy for you. 55 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: It's like, if you're among the pot smokers in high school, 56 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: you will be well connected among the pot smokers. 57 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 3: You see what I'm saying. 58 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not buying this study at all, but I'm 59 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: just you know my other questions, who paid for it? 60 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: Transferring it to you? Yeah, it'd be worth knowing. Are 61 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: you measuring the rights? University of South Florida Justin Martin, 62 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: the studies least researcher who referred to social He's a 63 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: big fan of Jonathan Hyde's book The Anxious Generation. The 64 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: survey of fifteen one hundred to Floridians ages eleven to thirteen. 65 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: Kids with smartphones reported better mental health than those without 66 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 2: smartphones on a number of different measures, including higher self 67 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: esteem being less likely to feel depressed. Is finding held 68 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 2: across the socioeconomic differences of the children being surveyed. 69 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, challenges the. 70 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 2: Belief that kids with cell phones are more likely to 71 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: be shut ins who never leave their bedroom. In fact, 72 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: surveyed kids with smartphones were overall more likely to spend 73 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,799 Speaker 2: time with friends in person than kids without phones. 74 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: Interesting. Yeah, I have to dig into it again. 75 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: I have a number of contrarian thoughts immediately, but it's 76 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 2: an intriguing look at one of the most important topics 77 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: of our time. So I would say, yeah, it is 78 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: one of the most important topics of the times. Well, 79 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: and my biggest contrarian thing is just we all have 80 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: had I think most of us just intuitively know that 81 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: it's been bad for us, right, that it's bad for me. 82 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: You know, you're talking yesterday about being at the Master's 83 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: golf tournament. You had to put your phones away, and 84 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 2: everybody liking it. Everybody goes camping or ends up, you know, 85 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: in a mountain cabin where you don't have cell phone service. 86 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 2: Everybody loves it. So just intuitively, I think we know 87 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: that it's it's causing problems. So yeah, and I'm just 88 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: I'm reminded of what does a drunk want the other 89 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 2: guy to do? Drink get in here in the valley 90 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: of sin with me. I feel better about myself, and 91 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,799 Speaker 2: trust me, that's not coming from a place of sober 92 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 2: judgment of others. 93 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: Again, you know, I'd like to know more about it. 94 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 2: I am highly suspicious they're asking the wrong questions and 95 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 2: and short term happiness slash fitting in versus long term 96 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: mental health, et cetera. True, although as kid, as you know, 97 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: the short term fitting in is all that matters in 98 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 2: your life for the kid. So, my son was the 99 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: last in his group to get a phone, and he 100 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 2: it made him very unhappy. He missed, he missed out, 101 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 2: did miss out and felt like he was missing out 102 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: on things all the time, all these group conversations and 103 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: meetups and stuff like that that he just didn't know 104 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: about because he didn't he wasn't in on the conversation 105 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 2: and it made him sad and feel like an outcast. 106 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't doubt it. 107 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 2: The Internet we've discussed through the years is like a big, 108 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: busy straight and it has a number of the things 109 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 2: that are are lovely for kids, ability to connect services, 110 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: et cetera. And it also has the most dangerous scumbags 111 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: they will ever encounter in their lives and the opportunity 112 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: to develop terrible habits that makes them miserable. It is 113 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: a big, giant, busy city straight. I don't doubt for 114 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: a minute that there are positives to be found on 115 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 2: that street. Right, that's the problem. Like, so, my oldest 116 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 2: son has a smartphone, my youngest doesn't. So in my 117 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 2: oldest my youngest heads out on a bike ride, I 118 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: know that he can't purchase heroin, see a snuff film, 119 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: or interact with a murderous pedophile. 120 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 3: My older son when he leaves, you're a child abuser. 121 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 2: My older son, when he leaves the house, absolutely has 122 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: all of those at his fingertips. Yeah, because he has 123 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: a smartphone, which is pretty crazy. I never had those 124 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: at my fingertips when I left the house. Ah uugh, 125 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: thank god. Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, 126 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: He's Joe getting on it. Is Thursday, April seventeenth, here 127 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five for Armstrong in getting WI. 128 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 3: We approve this program. All right, then let's begin officially. 129 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: According to de FCC rules and regulations, the show starts 130 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: at mark. 131 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 5: The Democrats and the media in this room have continually 132 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,239 Speaker 5: and wrongly labeled Kilmar Abrago Garcia as a Maryland father. 133 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 5: There is no Maryland father. Let me reiterate. Abrigo Garcia 134 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 5: is an illegal alien MS thirteen gang member and foreign 135 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 5: terrorist who was deported back to his home country. 136 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 3: Well, this story is getting a lot of attention than 137 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 3: the media. I don't know. 138 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: I don't have a sense of how many of you 139 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: actual people are paying attention to it. But for instance, 140 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: I flipped on MSNBC, Fox and News Nation this morning. 141 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: All three of them led with this stuff. 142 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: Interesting, right, and the back and forth on whether he's 143 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 2: just a Maryland father enjoying his kid's litle league game 144 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: or if he's a wife beating a drug running gang member, 145 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: and which of those is true? Yeah, and doesn't make 146 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: any difference because if you're in the United States, you 147 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 2: get due process no matter what. Yes, but what processes 148 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 2: do One of the more interesting questions to arise from this, 149 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: having let in millions of illegals, do the old processes 150 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: live up to the moment or do we have to 151 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 2: reassign them. It wasn't an intentional overloading of the system 152 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: by the lunatics around the Senile Mummy Joe Biden in 153 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: the Cloward Piven strategy of overwhelming the system to break it. 154 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: Once you break it, your reform it to Marxist principles. 155 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: It sure looks like it, doesn't it. I don't know 156 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 2: if it was on purpose, but it did overwhelm the 157 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 2: system well given the politics, Given that the politics are 158 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 2: so horrible. 159 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 3: I mean, it's an eighty five fifteen issue. 160 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 2: To throw the borders open to murders and scumbags and 161 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 2: hardworking folks just trying to improve their lives, but to 162 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: let in millions and millions and millions of people. The 163 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: politics are miserable of it. And many times you asked, 164 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: I asked, what don't they see that? 165 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 3: I think the answer. 166 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: Might be there were actual radicals around Biden who talked 167 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: the senile old Fruit into keeping the borders open for 168 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: their own nefarious, radical purposes. If somebody has a better explanation, 169 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: I'm willing to entertain it.

For the time being, we are well positioned 343 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: to wait for greater clarity before considering any adjustments to 344 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: our policy stance. We continue to analyze the incoming data 345 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: the evolving outlook in the balance of risks. We understand 346 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: that elevated levels of unemployment or inflation can be damaging 347 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: and painful for communities, families, and businesses. We will continue 348 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: to do everything we can to achieve our maximum employment 349 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: and price debility goals. 350 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: That's great, Jerry, that's great, honey. I told you we 351 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 3: shouldn't invite him to the dinner party. 352 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 2: So now Trump wants him to go, right, So Trump didn't. 353 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 2: Trump didn't like Powell coming out and saying inflation's going 354 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: to go up. We don't know how this is going 355 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 2: to turn out. Trump's angry down wants him to go 356 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 2: There's too much uncertainty and the plan seems to be evolving, yes, 357 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 2: which is what virtually everyone is saying. But Trump is 358 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 2: lashed out at Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell in a 359 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 2: post on social media. Powell's termination cannot come fast enough. 360 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: The post read trump pointing of the guy Powell is 361 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 2: always too late and wrong. Many many capitals and exclamation points, etc. 362 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 2: Now a number of folks, and that number is like 363 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: a lot of people are a little concerned at the 364 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 2: idea that the chairman of the Federal Reserve would be. 365 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 3: A day by day. 366 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 2: Helper of the current administration to achieve their specific goals, 367 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 2: as opposed to the sober to the point of oh 368 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 2: Godwin's he going to be done, a. 369 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 3: Protector of the nation fiscal health. Wall Street Journal's view 370 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 3: of this. 371 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 2: Powell said that he saw a strong likelihood that consumers 372 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 2: would face higher prices and that the economy would see 373 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 2: higher unemployment as the result of tariffs in the short 374 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 2: room short runs, so higher prices and higher unemployment. This 375 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: would create a challenging scenario in quotes for the central 376 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 2: bank because anything it does with interest rates to address 377 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 2: inflationary pressures could worsen unemployment and vice versa. He said, 378 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 2: it's a difficult place for a central bank to be in. Yeah, 379 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: so we could end up in a bad spiral. Maybe 380 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: one of the reasons that I have not made this 381 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 2: sort of economics my area of interest and just never 382 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: have in my life. It's just it's amazing to me 383 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 2: that so the president, one guy has the ability to 384 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 2: unleash these tariffs on America and on the world. And 385 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 2: then I've always been amazed that the FED chairman, a guy, 386 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 2: I mean with input from other people, but still one 387 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 2: guy decides to raise her lower interest rates. It just 388 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 2: it seems so not democratic republic that issues. I guess 389 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 2: there's no other way to do it, but I would 390 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: I would quibble with the characterization that one guy can 391 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 2: raise the interest rates like that, because they there's a 392 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 2: board of governors of the FED from all over the 393 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 2: country that get together and they're all like super smart, 394 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: dry egg heads like Jerown Powell, and they cook up 395 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: the policy together. But that's not like a congress, right, 396 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 2: So you know, the truth is somewhere in between. 397 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 398 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 2: I am staunchly against anybody having the power to single 399 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 2: handedly reshape the economy in the way Trump is doing, 400 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: because I know that you will be on the other foot, 401 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: and I think the Democrats are capable of enacting some 402 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 2: of their most ludicrous you know, a borderline to full 403 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 2: fledged Marxist ideas and tanking the economy for a very 404 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 2: very long time. I just you know, I'm sorry if 405 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 2: my principles annoy you, because I just I fear if 406 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 2: this sort of power to manipulate the economy becomes routine, 407 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 2: we're gonna see wild, insane swings and the sort of 408 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 2: And this is what bothers me about the current ay, 409 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 2: the sort of crony capitalism that we should be working 410 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 2: to get rid of. Like Tim Cook is rich and 411 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 2: powerful and connected and Apple is super important, so they 412 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 2: can get carve outs for the tariffs that would hurt them. 413 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 2: The average schmuck, the small to medium businessman, does not 414 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 2: have that sort of connection. 415 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 3: They don't have lobbyists, and so they will get hammered 416 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 3: by the tariffs. 417 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 2: The guy that was a drummer in the band I 418 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 2: was playing in, he was a drum maker and his 419 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: drums were made in China. He was always traveling to China. 420 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 2: He made carbon fiber drums. Cool idea. I don't know 421 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: if it's still a thing or not, but anyway, they're 422 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: made in China. I'm sure he's not getting a carve 423 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 2: out as a tiny, tiny businessman with his drums stuff 424 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 2: coming in from China because you don't have the connections 425 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,479 Speaker 2: that Tim Cook has, which is your point. And I 426 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 2: know everybody's saying, Joe, bring up Humphreys executor. Okay, kids, 427 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 2: it's a Supreme Court president. It has to do with 428 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 2: can the president fire certain federal officials for purely political 429 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 2: reasons or should they be more independent and finish out 430 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 2: their terms. 431 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 3: It's a really interesting constitutional question. How long is a 432 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 3: FED term? Long? Right? 433 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 4: Ah? 434 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got several more years. I couldn't tell you 435 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 2: specifically outlook, but Trump wants him to go. 436 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 3: Yes. 437 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, If I may quote the potus, Powell's termination cannot 438 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 2: come fast enough. 439 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 3: Termination as in I'm going to fire him. 440 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 2: Yes, he's not gonna snuff him. I didn't think that, 441 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 2: certainly firing him. Oh wow, that's enough fed talk certainly 442 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: for a while. Yeah, but it's not enough. I mean 443 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 2: that there's plenty of worry talk. 444 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 3: I just I don't know. 445 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 2: Nobody knows how this is going to turn out. But 446 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: say two months from now, inflation's the highest it's been 447 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 2: since back when we hated inflation during COVID. You're noticing 448 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 2: every day prices being higher than you're expecting, like during COVID. 449 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 2: What's the political mood gonna be. Yeah, And that's my concern. 450 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 2: And nobody really has, for many, many many months, ever 451 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: accused us of being you know, never Trumpers or anything 452 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 2: like that, because that would be ridiculous. My official stance 453 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 2: is the only thing that can derail the great stuff 454 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 2: the Trump administration is doing is the silly stuff the 455 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: Trump administration is doing. And I just wish they could 456 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 2: be a little more disciplined and focused and prioritize. But 457 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 2: the scenario I just laid out though, that you can't 458 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 2: call that and never trump. 459 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 3: That's what Trump says is gonna happen, isn't it. 460 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 2: High prices there's gonna be what was the term he 461 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 2: used on Friday that we played over and over. There's 462 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: going to be a he had a term for it. 463 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, I can't remember transitory, but that sort 464 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 2: of thing. It's just you know it's gonna hurt for 465 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 2: a while. 466 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 3: Short term pay. 467 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's saying that's going to happen. So is Jerome Powell. 468 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: So so he must be fired. I just wonder what 469 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 2: the polling is going to be when that actually happens, 470 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 2: if people are going to be willing to ride it out, 471 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 2: or if people are it's easier to it's easy to 472 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 2: say when you're not paying it well. Right, And here's 473 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 2: my big objection, especially to the tariff thing, not only 474 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 2: that it's been kind of haphazard in his crony capitalism, 475 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 2: but the president's argument is if you put up with 476 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 2: the short term pain, we will have a long term 477 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 2: resurgence of manufacturing, fewer imports, fairer trade relationships. Now, the 478 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 2: fairer trade relationships part I believe. I think they can happen, 479 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 2: but there will be no long term restructuring of American manufacturing. 480 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 3: He doesn't have long enough. 481 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 2: If Jdvatt succeeds him for two terms, that's still that'll 482 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: be like scratching the surface getting started long enough. Maybe 483 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 2: so we're gonna have the short term pain without the 484 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: long term. I just don't see how the long term 485 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 2: payoff materializes. I looked it up from Friday. You weren't here. 486 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 2: It transition costs. That's what he called it in the 487 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: big cabinet meeting on Thursday. There will be transition costs 488 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 2: with some inflation and higher prices. 489 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 490 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 2: I've just read so many stories of various small to 491 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 2: medium sized businesses and what their supply chains actually look like, 492 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 2: and how the tariffs and everything will affect them, and 493 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 2: how long it would take for them to ensure their 494 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 2: supply chains, whether the whole thing or damn near the 495 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 2: whole thing, and what they would do to the prices 496 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 2: of their products. 497 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 3: And it's just it doesn't look to me like it 498 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 3: can work. 499 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 2: And again, I pray, either Trump adjustice sales or I'm 500 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 2: dead wrong. 501 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 3: I've never wanted to be wrong more in my life. 502 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 2: Oh, and I'm perfectly happy if this turns out great 503 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 2: a year from now. Oh. I also see stan Crow 504 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: on the air. No, I'll just be the praise. Trump 505 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 2: is brilliant. Wow, he is the only one that really 506 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 2: understood this and blah blah blah.

It's from Friedrich Bostiat, 533 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 2: his classic The Law, written in eighteen fifty, and it's 534 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 2: a little longish, but it's absolutely brilliant, and it dovetails 535 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 2: a little bit with our conversation. Last segment I quote 536 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 2: from Bossiat. God has given to men all that is 537 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 2: necessary for them to accomplish their destinies. He has provided 538 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 2: a social form as well as a human form. And 539 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: these social organs of persons are so constituted that they 540 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: will develop themselves harmoniously in the clean air of liberty. 541 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 2: Away then, with quacks and organizers, Away with their rings, chains, hooks, 542 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 2: and pincers, Away with their artificial systems. Away with the 543 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 2: whims of governmental administrators, their socialized projects, their centralization, their tariffs, 544 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 2: their government schools, their state religions, their free credit, their 545 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 2: bank monopolies, their regulations, their restrictions, their equalization by taxation, 546 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 2: and their pious moralizations. And now that the legislators and 547 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 2: do gooders have so feutally inflicted so many systems upon society, 548 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 2: may they finally end where they should have begun? May 549 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 2: they reject all systems and try liberty for liberty as 550 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: an acknowledgment of faith in God and his works. 551 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 3: Amen, that's pretty good. 552 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 2: That's good.
