And no matter 6 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: who wins, I hope that every one of those amazing 7 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: athletes find a good husband. 8 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: That was just mean spirited. That was a loud joke. 9 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 3: Coming up, a really cool, awe inspiring update from the 10 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: Artemis two mission. Both Asia and Europe are going to 11 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 3: be hurting for certain. The zecon with Iran continues and 12 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 3: we'll have some updates from iron. Also interesting every day 13 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: news about AI and its probable effects and what to 14 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 3: do about it, So stay with us. 15 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: So CNN says Trump is considering forty five day ceasefire plan. 16 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm really confused by the reporting on this, Like only 17 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,279 Speaker 1: a couple of outlets are talking about it at all, 18 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: so I can't tell if it's real or what. But 19 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: Trump is doing a Trump Trump is doing a full 20 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: press conference a little bit later today after we're done, 21 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: so we'll see what he says about it. Then we 22 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: have been I don't know where you are listening, but 23 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: we've been on the air in California for Jay's decades, 24 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: and it is people are tired of it. But Job, 25 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: we've been complaining about the bullet train in California for 26 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: a for a very long time. It's just it's one 27 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: of the all time feeving of taxpayer money. Just awful, fraudulent, 28 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: day one. Absolutely, so it was really happy to see 29 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: Sixty Minutes do a big piece on it and let 30 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: the country know what it's all about. Let's hear some 31 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: of that, Michael. Let's say from sixty Minutes last night. 32 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 4: Here outside Fresno, in California's Central Valley, one of the 33 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 4: few signs of concrete progress, literally structures like this. Locals 34 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 4: here jokingly refer to it as their own stonehenge. Ideally 35 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 4: these bridges and viaducts will one day be used to 36 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 4: support California high speed rail, but for now, these are 37 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 4: curiosities in a field, monuments to promises that haven't been 38 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 4: met and plants that haven't been executed. 39 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 5: I think that the Catholine High Speed Real Nightmare is 40 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 5: the public quintessential example of government waste of mismanagement. 41 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: You say this needs to stop is zop. Yeah, so 42 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: did Gavin Newsom about however, many years ago. Remember we 43 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: had that clip last week Gavin Knew some way back 44 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: in the day saying, this is what this has got 45 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: an end. 46 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 3: This is ridiculous. No aspect of this is realistic. We 47 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 3: need to end this, he said, And he was right. 48 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: But that was many, many, many, many billions of dollars ago. 49 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: And now that he's running for president, he's all on 50 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 1: board of high speed rail. That was Representative Vince Fong, 51 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: who's a Republican in California, And he goes. 52 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 4: On Congressman Vince Fong, a Republican from Bakersfield, sits on 53 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 4: the House Transportation Committee. He says that when California voters 54 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 4: first approved high speed rail, the promise and price tag 55 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 4: were more marketing campaign than realistic projection. 56 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 5: Where now in twenty twenty six, there are no trains, 57 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 5: there's no track laid. 58 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: There's a complete bait and switch. 59 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 4: If I vote for a mansion in Malibu by next 60 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 4: year and someone says, actually, you know what, in five years, 61 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 4: we're going to have a doghouse in Modesto. 62 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: How do things go so off the rails? 63 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 5: The business plan that was put out in two thousand 64 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 5: and eight, was very theoretical. 65 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: You know, this is what we think is. 66 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 5: Going to happen, and it became very clear that they 67 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 5: didn't have the specifics. 68 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: It worked, It worked out no offense. But that's not 69 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: a marketing plan. That's fraud. 70 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 3: There's a simple American word that people know the meaning 71 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 3: of fraud. Well, the Malibu mansion doghouse comparison was an 72 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: apt one. 73 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: This next clip, I forget what this guy's background was, 74 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: but his point is really good. There were mistakes made. 75 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 6: Some of the criticism on this project, I think are 76 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 6: very fair what happened. I don't think the voters fully 77 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 6: understood and neither did we in the public sector what 78 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 6: it was going to take to actually get this project delivered. 79 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: Now he's in favor of it because he's in Newsom's administration, 80 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: But what I think is a lot of this piece 81 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: was a real lesson in how the initiative thing doesn't 82 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: work states that have initiatives, like California, it doesn't work 83 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: because it's so easy to mislead voters get him to 84 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: vote for crap. Nobody understands what it is. Then it's 85 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: got the force of a law behind it, and it 86 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: just keeps going. Yeah, that's absolutely true. 87 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,039 Speaker 3: I disagree you, though, with your charitable view of this 88 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: bloke who was on there. He's the guy, one of 89 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: the guys running the project now who is saying, Yeah, 90 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 3: in the past, there were misleading things said and mistakes made, 91 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: and the boy a lot of money got spent. But 92 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: now that we're under the wise current leadership, it's it's. 93 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: Going to be a stunning success. 94 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 3: So they're just at the point of the fraud where 95 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 3: they have to say, oh my god, you're right. Terrible 96 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 3: things were done and you were lied to, but now 97 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 3: it's on track, you can keep squandering billions and billions 98 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 3: of dollars. 99 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: I wasn't attempting to indicate that I have a charitable 100 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: view of that guy. I do not. I couldn't believe 101 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: that the guy that they had representing this whole thing 102 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: on in the administration on sixty minutes. Dude, you want 103 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: to look like a guy who's not stealing my money, 104 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: don't sit there in a ten thousand dollars suit. I 105 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: thought that was not a good look. You are way 106 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: too mafioso looking for a guy who's stealing hundreds of 107 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: billions of dollars from taxpayers through lies. I thought that 108 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: was a hare hair poor. Yeah, you know, a ten 109 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: thousand dollars suit if it was on me. But you're king. 110 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 4: No, let's roll on to get the necessary political buy 111 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 4: in from the whole state. The plan called for the 112 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 4: train to run inland, threading the farmland of the Central Valley, 113 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 4: Yet the rail authority hadn't answered basic questions like precisely 114 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 4: where it could lay down its tracks. 115 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: What's known is right of way. 116 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 6: Three thousand parcels had to be negotiated just for the 117 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 6: segments that we're working on today in the Central Valley. 118 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 4: It seems to be one farmer doesn't want high speed 119 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 4: rail going through his field, and you've got a guy 120 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 4: that can come up the works for a long time. 121 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what happens sometimes in these processes. 122 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: It's interesting to me that they listed that right of 123 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 3: way or talked about that right of way issue in 124 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 3: all those lawsuits as if it was you know, one 125 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 3: challenge we've found is that no, that was like a 126 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 3: cannon ball to the chest if you don't know your 127 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 3: right of way and you realize, oh, we've got to 128 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 3: buy like individual parcels, tens of thousands of them. 129 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: No, that's a fatal flaw. You add in California's ridiculous 130 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: environmental rules and it just can't be done. I thought 131 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: part of the takeaway for me two things was just 132 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: the whole ballot initiative thing is a terrible idea. Just 133 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't work because voters don't pay enough attention. It 134 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: might work if voters paid attention. But and that I 135 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: feared that the United States can't do this sort of thing. 136 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: They kept pointing out on sixty minutes, how many other 137 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: countries around the world have high speed rail that works 138 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: pretty well for them, and we just can't do that 139 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: in the United States. Now they got the private guy, 140 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: which they talked about for a while, this private effort 141 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: to build some high speed rail between LA and Vegas. 142 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: I could see that working. They said it would be 143 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: two hours. You get back and forth between LA and 144 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: Vegas in two hours, and you know, you could sit 145 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: there and want that's a movie and read paper and 146 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: you don't have to get to the airport an hour early, 147 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: and you know deal with traffic. Blah blah blah blah blah. 148 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: Come on, I'm going to Vegas I'm getting my drink on. 149 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: It's the party tractically exactly, I could see that possibly working. 150 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: But I just I just wonder if the United States 151 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: is not able to do stuff like this anymore, the 152 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: way we built the umpire State Building during the Great Depression, 153 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: or the Golden State or the Golden gate Bridge or 154 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: stuff like that. 155 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that is a return to a theme 156 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: we've been wrestling with for many, many years. The fact 157 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 3: that and we're both small l libertarians believe in you know, 158 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 3: the Bill of Rights to my. 159 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: Core, etcetera. 160 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 3: But we have not we have lost a sense of 161 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 3: this is for the national good. It's a shame that 162 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 3: we're going to have to buy out a bunch of 163 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: you know, farmers or whatever because they've been there for years, 164 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 3: but the country needs this. 165 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: We don't do that anymore. 166 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: And I'm for very generous compensation if that happens. But 167 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: when Ike was building the Internet, well the Interstate Highway 168 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: Syste with the population was a lot less too. But 169 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 3: we just we don't say no, this is what's going 170 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: to happen, and we're doing it like I'm part certainly 171 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: not in Californa. 172 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: What of it might be you couldn't. How are you 173 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: going to make the argument the country needs the high 174 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: speed train between San Francisco and LA When you got 175 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines, it works pretty damned well. Just there never was, 176 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: as we know because we've been looking at this for 177 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: a long time, there were never any studies, real studies 178 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: showing that people wanted this or we're going to use it. 179 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: No, and all of the numbers were hilariously fictional from 180 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 3: the beginning that were used, like a price of gas 181 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 3: they had projected to be thirteen dollars a gallon by 182 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: now or whatever, and and airline tickets who had quadruple 183 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 3: because of the gas, and a million people would ride 184 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 3: this every day, every man, woman, child. 185 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: I mean, they were all hilarious. 186 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 3: But as you pointed out, but the drive by voter thought, wow, 187 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 3: a bullet train. 188 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: Cool and checked. Yes, it's the biggest thievery of American 189 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: taxpayer dollar in US history. And the hilarious part is 190 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: it continues, Yeah, we probably haven't even begun to spend 191 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: billions dollars of taxpayer money on something that will never happen. 192 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: And did you hear the current mobsters involved quote unquote 193 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: opinion editorial. Uh, they were admitting to Yeah, it'll be 194 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 3: a solid one hundred and twenty five million. 195 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Jet, that's just you know, the preliminary part. 196 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: It's just it's terrible. Yeah. I liked sixty minutes, continuing 197 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: to point out several times that it's not from LA 198 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: to San Francisco anymore. It's Baker's Bakersfield to Mercet is 199 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: what they're working on currently. 200 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: And yes, most of America, including most of California, has 201 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 3: to look at a map to figure out Wait a minute, Bakersfield. 202 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: I've heard of worse Mercet. Well, the current long term 203 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: plan is Gilroy to bake to Bakersfield. Oh that is exciting. Wow, 204 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: it's depressing that that could happen, that you could waste 205 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: that much money. And as I say, every single time 206 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: this topic comes up, why aren't lefties upset about this? 207 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you like to have that one hundred billion dollars 208 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: to spend on whatever you think is important, schools, the homeless, transsurgeries, 209 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: whatever it does you care about. I would think you'd 210 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 1: want that money rather than have it just be wasted. 211 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 3: Right, It's more proofs that lefties don't operate in a 212 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 3: world of logic and sound policy. They operate in a 213 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 3: world of emotion. I just they know they're supposed to 214 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 3: say that, you know, I'm in favor of this, and 215 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: makes them feel good and enlightened. So they say they're 216 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 3: in favor of it, and they don't get down to 217 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 3: the practicalities. You know, you use the word depressing, which 218 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 3: is absolutely a good one. It's also disturbing to me 219 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 3: that's a boondoggle of theft. I mean, because this is 220 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 3: fraud and theft, clearly to a route money to the 221 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 3: cronies of the folks in power and Sacramento. It's disturbing 222 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 3: that it could go on this long and be this 223 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: expensive and cannot be killed. We've called it a vampire 224 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 3: through the years, can't be killed. 225 00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is disturbing. I hope Gavin Newsom has to 226 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: answer for it some more if he's ends up running 227 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: for president. Of course, he's gonna be talking about his 228 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: wife a lot.

Right now, 234 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 4: there's simply isn't a path to get from Sacramento to 235 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 4: San Diego, let alone from San Francisco. 236 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: To la That's what he said quite a few years ago. 237 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: Now he's claiming that we're going to be able to 238 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: turn this around and actually make it happen. Now he's 239 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: getting his cut. Now, what are you gonna be able 240 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: to run for president on that? The bullet rain thing? 241 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 3: That's a great question.

And then some people beat me 303 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: up for being mean, because you know, people different, different 304 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: people of different life circumstances and everything like that.

How about you call it Thanksgiving 312 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: dinner to go? All right? It's to find a point 313 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: or even single serving, it sounds better than for one. Yeah, 314 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: that is sad. Anyway, yesterday Easter and I have had 315 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: a few in my life, uh fantastic Easter meals and 316 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: my family and various other families that have been attached 317 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: to or lots of people get together and Easter dinner's 318 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: a really really big deal, and they've been absolutely fabulous. 319 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: That is not what I had yesterday, as both my 320 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: kids are were ill and I was out and about 321 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: running some arrones, getting them some medicine and stuff like that, 322 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: and I was hungry, and I went to eye Hoop, 323 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: which was the only place that was open, and I 324 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: was the only person in there.

I gotta get this verse down before 340 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: I forget. 341 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 3: Dinner alone at the eye hoop, tears are in my eyes. 342 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,719 Speaker 1: They give here in my pancakes. They give you a 343 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: plastic egg with a coupon it. Oh so sad getty. 344 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 8: Artemis two just hours from the Moon, making final preparations 345 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 8: for that historic lunar flyby. When they swing around the Moon, 346 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 8: the astronauts will track more than a dozen lunar targets, 347 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 8: capturing images of craters, lava flows, and the far side 348 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 8: of the Moon, places never seen by the naked eye. 349 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 8: Mission control expecting a forty minute communication blackout as Orion 350 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 8: passes behind the Moon. 351 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: The crew will hit a new. 352 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 8: Milestone, officially surpassing Apollo thirteen to mark the farthest humans have. 353 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: Ever traveled from Earth. So there'll be a forty five 354 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: minute period where they're not in contact at all with us. 355 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: Interesting, Yeah, reminiscent of that wonderful movie Apollo thirteen about 356 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 3: that incredible, nearly disastrous mission. Yeah, they'll be out of 357 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 3: range or well, radio waves can't go through the Moon apparently, 358 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 3: And as we speak, as we record these words if 359 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 3: you're listening to the podcast in the future. Actually in 360 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 3: the midst of a really exciting period. They have just 361 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 3: entered the lunar sphere of influence, which sounds like the 362 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 3: part of the galaxy moonment Control, you know they charge 363 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 3: tolls to spaceships and that sort of thing. But no, 364 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: that's just where the pull of the Moon's gravity becomes 365 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 3: stronger than the Earth's. So and as we speak, they 366 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 3: are starting to speed up for the main event of 367 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 3: the ten day mission, which is swinging around the Moon 368 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 3: for a first close up look by astronauts in more 369 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 3: than fifty three years. It will be at one fifty 370 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 3: six pm. Unlike like catching a flight to Chicago or something. 371 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 3: They really have this dialed in right, They know exactly 372 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 3: when things are happening. At one fifty six pm Eastern, 373 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 3: the four astronaut including the Canadian, will have traveled farther 374 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 3: than any other human being, surpassing the Apollo thirteen record 375 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 3: by I think it's forty one hundred miles. To mean 376 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 3: the get these guys almost freaking died alone in space, 377 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 3: well with each other in space. You can have passed 378 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 3: them by just a couple of thousand miles out of 379 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 3: hundreds of thousands just to tap dance and you. 380 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: Know, do a touchdown to say you did. Yeah, I 381 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: don't know, that's kind of mean anyway. 382 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 3: So less than an hour later, the Artemis two crew 383 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 3: will begin hours of methodical observations of the Moon. They're 384 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 3: targeting thirty five specific features on the lunar surface. 385 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: And the commander of. 386 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 3: The mission actually was was talking to mission control the 387 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 3: other days. 388 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: So cool. 389 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 3: He said, you know, let's see u Wiseman is his 390 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 3: last name. You know, I'm not one for hyperbole, but 391 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 3: it's the only thing I could come up with. 392 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: He said. 393 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 3: Just seeing Tycho, there's mountains to the north, you can 394 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 3: see Copernicus, Rhine or Gammas. Just everything from the training 395 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 3: but in three dimensions and absolutely unbelievable. 396 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: This is incredible. Yeah, yeah, getting excited like a kid. 397 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 3: So then this evening, the Orion spacecraft, which the astronauts 398 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 3: get to name. Astronauts name their own, like a little 399 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 3: module there, and they've decided to name it Integrity. 400 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: Oh and I would have done with space space face. 401 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 6: But. 402 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 3: Integrity farms space capital. Anyway, it'll pass behind the Moon 403 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 3: and communications fall silent as we're discussing and its furthest 404 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 3: point Artemis will be two hundred and fifty seven and 405 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 3: sixty miles from the Earth, the farthest humans have ever gone. 406 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: Twenty minutes later or so, they'll. 407 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 3: Regain communications with mission control, and they're expected to get 408 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 3: mind blowing pictures not only of that far side of 409 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 3: the Moon, but of the phenomenon known as Earth rise. 410 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 3: When they come around and the Earth is seen emerging 411 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 3: from the edge of the Moon, then a total solar 412 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 3: eclipse actually as the Moon blocks the Sun for fifty 413 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 3: three minutes. In a couple hours after that, they'll start 414 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 3: sending images back to the Earth. 415 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: I would imagine that's going to be the furthest humans 416 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: have ever traveled from Earth for quite some time until 417 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 1: we finally launch a Mars mission. 418 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, probably so as far as I know. Anyway, 419 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 3: So they practiced putting on their spacesuits, I guess, including 420 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 3: two of them, like super accelerated in case of an emergency, 421 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 3: did a couple of other experiments. 422 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: Excuse me? Here on Earth, allergies are terrible. 423 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 3: Then Sunday night, Orion is scheduled to fire its thrusters 424 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 3: for fourteen seconds, precisely a small nudge to get on 425 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 3: the desired path and then more or less come home 426 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 3: to Earth. I knew there was one more thing I 427 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 3: wanted to throw in the toilet problem. 428 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: What how much free time they get up there? You 429 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: can't be concentrating all day long, No, you do worse work. 430 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: It's a good point. How much free time they get 431 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: to just like look out the window and daydream or. 432 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 3: Do your wordle or whatever it is. It depends on 433 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 3: the uh. I got it in four this morning. It's 434 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,959 Speaker 3: disappointed thought I had an industree. Anyway, I'll bet in 435 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 3: this mission there's a bit of time because the point 436 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: is going to a place and getting pictures and stuff. 437 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 3: They're not like, I don't think they're doing a ton 438 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 3: of experiments on like you know. 439 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: Tomato seeds or whatever. But I don't know. Good question anyway, 440 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: back to the toilet. 441 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 3: After experiencing intermittent problems the first few days, the astronauts 442 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 3: are able to use the toilet now without restrictions. Boy, 443 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 3: you can restrict all you want, but I mean, when 444 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 3: you gotta use it, you gotta use it. However, however, 445 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 3: engineers still do not understand why waste water is not 446 00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 3: quite flowing out into space. 447 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: It's designed. 448 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 3: It's kind of a complex engineering issue, said one of 449 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 3: the flight directors. When you expose a liquid to vacuum, 450 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 3: it's a pretty chaotic environment. 451 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: Did you suggest that? Are we. 452 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 6: Do? 453 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: You go and then it goes outside the capsule? Like 454 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: we should just shoot our. 455 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 3: Poop into space? That's correct? Is that tap dance? That's 456 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 3: exactly what we're doing. Yeah, it's like peeing off your 457 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 3: deck fellas in the backyard, but off the spaceship. 458 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: Really, so we're just putting. We're just like when you 459 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: go camping, you know, you know, leave nothing behind, but 460 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: we're camping in space and we're leaving defecate behind as 461 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: as Joe said last week, and ass deroid if you will, 462 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: putting the ass back in asteroid in phrased it. And 463 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: then because it's in a vacuum with no atmosphere, does 464 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: it decay or destroy or does it stay that way 465 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: forever or does the lack of pressure cause it to atomize? 466 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. 467 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 3: Gross, get over it, grob Let's see where were we? Oh, 468 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 3: this will bring a childier soul. The engineers trying to 469 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 3: fix the toilet, they also still do not know what 470 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 3: caused a burning odor reported by the astronauts on Saturday. 471 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 3: I hope that's not a sentence that comes back to 472 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 3: haunt all of our souls. 473 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: Right, Oh, that's troubling. Yeah, it smelled like a burning 474 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: electrical problem. Yeah, there's probably nothing anyway. I'm sure that's fine. Yeah. 475 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 3: I wouldn't think that was fine if it happened in 476 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 3: my car. Yeah, yeah, no kidding. Anyway, we certainly wish 477 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 3: them well and we'll be paying attention. I love this stuff, 478 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 3: you know. I don't want to turn this negative at all, 479 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 3: because I've got one more story that's super interesting on 480 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 3: this topic. But the negativity and defeatism that's consumed so 481 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 3: much of this country. I was thinking about it a 482 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 3: lot over the weekend, partly spurred by a great editorial 483 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 3: I came across about all the defeatists and defeatism. So 484 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 3: much of our perception of the world these days is 485 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 3: formed by the attention economy and the super giants in 486 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 3: that field that just want to keep you flipping and 487 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 3: scrolling and looking and listening. And psychologists, and we've talked 488 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 3: about this through the years, have realized people bond more 489 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 3: quickly over what they don't like than what they like. 490 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's Bill Burr's thing about a marriage. You got 491 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: to hate the same things. That's funny. 492 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 3: And then there's another kind of similar fact, and that 493 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 3: is the best clickbait in the world is you are 494 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 3: at risk, you are you are in danger, or something 495 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 3: bad is happening. So when you've got a giant economy 496 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 3: of the greatest mind's currently on the planet devoted to 497 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 3: scaring us and making us angry over and over and 498 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 3: over again, I don't think it's any mystery why there's 499 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 3: so much negativity and defeatism. Some of it's political, but 500 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 3: I just I don't know what to do about it 501 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 3: other than be aware of it. And you know, maybe 502 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 3: you can be aware of it too and become less miserable. 503 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 3: But here is the super bonus story I referred to, 504 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 3: and this is a blockbuster from the Journal. Elon Musk's 505 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 3: starship Heavy could revolutionize warfare. The US could keep powerful 506 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 3: munitions in orbit to be deployed quickly and without risk 507 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 3: to American troops. They point out striking Around's nuclear facilities 508 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 3: in June operation. What was that hammered Jesus out of 509 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 3: them Midnight hammer? Yeah, yeah, Jesus. 510 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: Out of them. 511 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 3: Oh that that reminds me. It's been a while since 512 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 3: we've used the clip of the day, Michael. Oh, come on, where. 513 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: Is it open? The flat of straight, you crazy bastards. 514 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 3: I like the Jake Tapper because he drops the F 515 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 3: bomb because it's cable. You can't on broadcast, but you 516 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 3: can on cable because the people's air waves are Oh. 517 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: Shut up, Oh so silly and antiquated and opened up straight, 518 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: you crazy bastards. Thank you, Jake Well said. 519 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 3: So they give the example that Operation Midnight Hammer a 520 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 3: fleet of b B twos rather each carried two thirty 521 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 3: thousand pound bombs. The round trip took thirty seven hours. 522 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 3: B twos cost around one hundred and thirty five grand 523 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 3: per travel hour. Oh now that's expensive flying private. Total 524 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 3: costs for the attack amounted to about five million dollars 525 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 3: for each airplane, and that's just the B twos. That 526 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 3: excludes tankers, fighters, and other components of the mission. If 527 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 3: Iran's air defenses had still been functioning, it would have 528 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 3: been even more risky and expensive, and the Defense Department 529 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 3: is exploring ways to reduce time and money required for 530 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 3: military strikes. It's spent billions over decades developing hypersonic weapons 531 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 3: to strike anywhere in the world within an hour, but 532 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 3: by decreasing the cost of place material into orbit, Starship 533 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 3: makes possible major new alternative military options that would be 534 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 3: at least as effective and a lot cheaper. The cheapest 535 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 3: launch platform in the world is Elon's Falcon Heavy, costs 536 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 3: about fifteen hundred dollars a kilo to reach Low Earth orbit, 537 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 3: which is about one seventh one sixth of what it 538 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 3: costs like the Delta four Heavy, and Elon with starshipp 539 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 3: intends to bring that cost down to about ten bucks 540 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 3: a kilogram, although even ten times that would be revolutionary, 541 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 3: so launch costs would no longer restrain the blasting of 542 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 3: cheap disposable equipment into space. 543 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: Sending equipment to. 544 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 3: Land anywhere on Earth will also become cheap and fast. 545 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 3: It takes about an hour in suborbital path to travel 546 00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 3: between any two points on the globe, so Starship will 547 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 3: make it possible to use low Earth orbit as a 548 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 3: parking lot for a giant space based arsenal that then 549 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 3: you could send anywhere within minutes. Wow blue modamn mind 550 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 3: reading this. 551 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: Wow. 552 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 3: For instance, tens of thousands of small munitions in orbit 553 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 3: would become cost effective at around one hundred bucks of kilogram. 554 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 3: Munitions could include bunker busters, kinetic weapons, anti personal incendiaries, 555 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 3: fuel air explosive cluster munitions, and anti tank, anti aircraft 556 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 3: and anti ship capabilities. With sophisticated terminal guidance, Starship's payload 557 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 3: capacity promises to be so great that it will enable 558 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 3: the deployment of much larger single munitions than today's biggest airplanes, 559 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 3: enabling conventional effects of a greater magnitude against even the 560 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 3: most deeply buried targets. 561 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 1: So we could have a bunker buster anywhere on the 562 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: planet within a couple of minutes. 563 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, or as wild or as this writer I should 564 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 3: credit because this is really well written, says, and new 565 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 3: kinds of strikes would become feasible. Imagine a strike package 566 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 3: of thousands of two hundred pound bombs, each landing precisely 567 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 3: at the same time on electric grid sites, government buildings, 568 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 3: railway crossings, border stations, and road intersections without putting. 569 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: Planes or any personnel at risk. 570 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 3: Hey, anybody's still laughing at Trump from the first term 571 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 3: developing the space Force? 572 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: You cynical, bitter jackasses. Boy, this has got to be 573 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: a message to China some serious deterrence about trying to 574 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: take Taiwan boy, and we had better be first in 575 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: this race, no kidding, and stay first for quite a while. Yes, please, Yeah, 576 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: that's really interesting. We got some Ai stuff for you 577 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: that we want to get to a little bit later. 578 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: We're going to talk to Mike Lions, our favorite military 579 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: analyst about everything that's going on in Iran and Trump's 580 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: deadline for tomorrow afternoon of when I'm going to start 581 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: taking everything out unless they agree to a peace plan, 582 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: with which I don't think they're going to. So stay 583 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: tuned for all that. 584 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 4: Open the expletive straight, you crazy bastards, Arms and Getty. 585 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 9: Candymaker Reese's announced it after complaints from its founder's grandson. 586 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 9: It will return to using chocolate instead of a chocolate 587 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 9: compound coding. Not to be outdone, the grandson of the 588 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 9: Peeps founder wants to go back to real skin. 589 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: I watched Sarah Live. The host the musical guest was 590 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: Jack White, which was very cool. The host was Jack Black. 591 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: Jack Black is a funny comic actor, but I have 592 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: never dug his whole music thing. Do you enjoy it? 593 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: I just don't. I just don't enjoy it. Okay, you're 594 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: a good singer and then you make funny words to 595 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: popular rock songs. I don't know. It just not always 596 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: leaves me cold. So it's okay. 597 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 3: I remember being impressed and being impressed by his duo. 598 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: Okay, yes, Katie huge tenacious dfan. Okay, I'm wrong, I'm wrong. 599 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,479 Speaker 1: People like that. I mean, he's always on Serta Live 600 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: and he always does it there. They're a lot of 601 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: fun live. I think the difference is Katie has a 602 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: capacity for joy. That's it. I've lost my capacity for joy. 603 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm taking some weird joy in this. So Trump, has 604 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: Trump made any comments about I ran with that Easter 605 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: bunny standing next to him, Michael Hanson because he's doing 606 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: he's doing the White House Easter thing, which they always 607 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: doing Monday for some reason, I guess because everybody's doing 608 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: their family Easter thing. 609 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 3: I don't care well in an Easter egg roll is 610 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 3: very secular, so it might be disrespectful to do it 611 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 3: on Easter Sunday. 612 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: Oh maybe that's it. That's interesting now that one of 613 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: the churches who I've taken the kids to they do 614 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: an Easter egg hunt after the church service, which is yeah, 615 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what the anyway, Trump's standing up there. 616 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: He's got Malania on one side and a guy and 617 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: it's a guy or a woman and a giant Easter 618 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: rabbit costume, so all right with a big smile on 619 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: its space, you know, because it's a mascot mask. 620 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 3: We will bomb their dams, we will bomb their power plants, 621 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 3: we will bomb. 622 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: And the Easter buddy's standing there. I don't know if 623 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: I have time to get thoroughly into this. I came 624 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: across this over the weekend. The number of law school 625 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: grads getting extra time for the bar is surging. For 626 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: the Bar exam in California, more than one in eight 627 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: test takers get some sort of special accommodation to take 628 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: extra time because of their ADHD or anxiety or whatever 629 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: their problem is. Allegedly, yeah, allegedly or really or somewhere 630 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: in between. 631 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 9: We have. 632 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: This is exploding in schools, as we all know, the 633 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: percentage of kids at some this is what's interesting though, 634 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: At affluent high schools the number is much higher than 635 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: like you're just a regular working class school now either. 636 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: That's because the affluent schools have the important diagnosisability that 637 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: maybe poor families don't have, or the rich kids are 638 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: a little more pampered. Then you come up with an 639 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: excuse for why they need extra time. I don't know well, 640 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: and their families are a little more calculating. We'd be 641 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: fools not to take advantage of this. At affluent high 642 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: schools today, more than thirty percent of students have disability 643 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: diagnosis thirty percent, one out of three. At affluent high schools, 644 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. By contrast, less than three percent of students 645 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: at Springfield Tech Community College had claimed any sort of disability. 646 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: So at the tech school three percent. At the super 647 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: fancy university you're getting whatever kind of degree thirty percent. Yeah, 648 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: that's quite a difference. Yeah. And while I. 649 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 3: Love the idea of people with actual disabilities sharing and 650 00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 3: education and getting a degree and that sort of thing, 651 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 3: it's such an artificial construct because once you get out 652 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 3: into the world to work, you can't tell your client, a, 653 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 3: it's going to take a lot of time because I 654 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 3: need special dispensation. 655 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 1: Right. How about the disparity between the tech school at 656 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: kind of a regular town and the super fancy school 657 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: at a super fancy down versus thirty percent. What does 658 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,760 Speaker 1: that mean? You tell us textus if you miss a segment, 659 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. We got 660 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: much more on the way I'm Strong and Getty
