Speaker 2: stocks plungey?

6
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: You know what are you gonna be saying that they have?

7
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: It's accurate, That's what it is. Way gotta be a downer.

8
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: Come up with.

9
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: Something more positive to say, live from studio. Scene says

10
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: in a dearly lit room deeper than the bowels of

Speaker 2: the Armstrong You getting communications compound.

Speaker 1: Starting a brand new week, Yes, new week, pregnant with possibilities.

13
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: This might be a week you can meet.

14
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: Mister Wright Niss's writer, get the big promotion. Or it

15
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: might be a week a global depression begins. You don't know,

16
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: Wait what now? You don't know at this point and

17
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: today we're under the tutelage of our general manager. The

18
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: Connecticut team. I'm not gonna say their names, it's inaccurate.

19
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: They call themselves the Lady Huskies. It's the proper term

20
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: as bitches. Bitches, if you will. Who beat the even

21
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: more ludicrously named girl Rooster from South Carolina really ought

22
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: to be the beaches.

23
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Versus the Hens.

24
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: The winner of the women's final four is our general

25
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: manager today?

26
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

27
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: Why not, ladies, But going at it hard, that's you

28
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: looking for man's achievements as opposed to going with global

29
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: stocks plunge. How about excellent opportunity. Excellent buying opportunity presents

30
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: itself exactly exactly, market correction avails many of buying opportunity.

31
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: That is the way to present this. There we go, Yes, by.

32
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: The nip so, I saw Goldman Sachs raise their chances

33
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: of a recession up to forty five percent. Well that's

34
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: still less than half, so it's more likely there's not

35
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: a recession. You're still saying, even after this, So come on,

36
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 2: what do you glasses a half full?

37
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: People? Let's let's be glasses half full people.

38
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: What's really interesting about the situation, clearly, is that number

39
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: rests on a desperate attempt to calculate the thinking of

40
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: one human being in a way it.

41
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: Never has before. Donald J. Trump, Donald J. Trump.

42
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Golden Sachs guys are saying, do you think

43
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: he's going to hang in there? Does he really want

44
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: to like restructure the world's economy or is this a

45
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: bargaining tactic for a little while.

46
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't know. Yeah.

47
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: Maybe the most interesting thing about this whole deal is

48
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: that he could at any point decide this is not

49
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: working out the way I thought and pull the plug

50
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: at any point. I think, I don't know how quickly

51
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: things would bounce back. Probably pretty quickly. I'll just I'll

52
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: go with this, And I'm not trying to be negative.

53
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: But Mark Alprin in his newsletter that I read every day,

54
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: he takes in a whole bunch of people with different

55
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: political points of view to try to get like, what

56
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: is the consensus thinking right now, here's this consensus thinking

57
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: in DC, which doesn't mean it's right, but he says,

58
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: most elites in the United States and around the world

59
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: believe we are witness sing an historically misguided plan, poorly

60
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: executed by incompetent people. Well that's a little negative. That's

61
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: what I thought. Again with the negative.

62
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so hopefully, hopefully that's not the case.

63
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, coming up later, and I look forward to this myself,

64
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: and I hope you good folks do too.

65
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: Uh.

66
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: The good people of the Free press have asked Neil Ferguson,

67
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: who thinks kind of what you just said. The great

68
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: brilliant conservative historian who thinks this is ill can see

69
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and Victor Davis Hanson, another fantastic conservative historian,

70
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 2: but thinks, now I see what he's doing, what Trump

71
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 2: is doing here, and we'll compare and contrast those two

72
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: points of view.

73
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, Well, I hope it works out. That's absolutely fantastic. Yeah,

74
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: I absolutely hope it works out.

75
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: You know, you know how many times you live? How

76
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: many times I've asked my son, yes, yesterday? How many

77
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 2: times do you live, Michael?

78
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: How many times? Scenario? No, you're not a Buddhist, you

79
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: just sor okay, Michael? How many times do you live? Three?

80
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 2: Well, I generally agreed upon number Yolo you only live once?

81
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: And do you want to spend your day worried about

82
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: this sort of thing?

83
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: No?

84
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: I don't, and I didn't, and I didn't spend worried

85
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 2: about it either. I did lots of other stuff. So

86
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: are you whistling past the graveyard?

87
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: There? You have it? Is this?

88
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: Everything will be fine. You're gonna wake up dead broke tomorrow?

89
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: Is it what broke? Homeless? But is I hope I'm

90
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: not homeless?

91
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: By tomorrow. That would be quite the turn of events. Wow,

92
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: my kids say Dad, and he'll change your turn.

93
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: Tune. Turn, you'll turn your tune.

94
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: No, I was actually talking to Hanson in the elevator

95
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: about this very thing. I can be calm about it.

96
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 2: I can think about it all day. I can I

97
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: can do lots of different things, and I have no

98
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: effect on it. So is it whistling past the graveyard

99
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: if you, if you have can have no effect on something?

100
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: Right?

101
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I'd like to think this is a maturity.

102
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: I had a travel nightmare over the weekend. It's about

103
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: a coin slip. Chance you'll have a travel nightmare if

104
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: you travel by air, Yes, And I just just refuse

105
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 2: to get stressed now.

106
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: It helps that.

107
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: For instance, if a flight is canceled as it was,

108
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: and I had to stay overnight in a hotel, it

109
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: doesn't really matter to me financially. If I was I

110
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: have to sleep in the terminal person, I think I

111
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: would have been a little less calm. But yeah, trying

112
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: to take this all in calmly. This too, show pass

113
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: saith the good book. I just hope it passeth faster

114
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: than noteth.

115
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: Right.

116
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting that because Neil Ferguson, who

117
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: you just mentioned, who thinks this is a huge catastrophe

118
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 2: of a mistake. He's been pretty big and back in

119
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: things Trump does. Oh yeah, so as Ted Cruz. As

120
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: we all know, Ted Cruz, even though Donald Trump had

121
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: said that his dad assassinated Kennedy and his wife was

122
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 2: ugly still head back to Trump pretty hard on a

123
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: lot of conversial things. Sure, and he said on his

124
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: podcast over the weekend, and the Republicans are going to

125
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: face a blood bath because of Trump's tariff gamble in

126
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: the MIDI because there are now seven Republican votes in

127
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: the Senate for a law that says this terror stuff's

128
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: got end. It will not get through the House, according

129
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: to all learned observers. But if that number grows substantially,

130
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: that'll be a pretty loud message. Well, and doesn't that

131
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: just seem like a good idea that one person can't

132
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: change the world economy this much?

133
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't care who you are, well.

134
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: Right, and this may horrify the hardcore Trump fans among you,

135
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: and that's fine. We horrify everybody sooner or later. But

136
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: power of this magnitude exercised by quote unquote our side

137
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: will be exercised and more by the other side. Right.

138
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: I heard a great example of this in a podcast

139
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: over the weekend. The idea of being able to declare

140
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: emergencies and use some of the powers the president has.

141
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: And as we learned during COVID, a lot of your governors,

142
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: a lot of your county health commissioners and who who

143
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,559
Speaker 2: the hell knew who they were, had the power wits,

144
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: with no wisdom or in some cases knowledge or expertise

145
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: about anything. They got to do all kinds of things.

146
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: They closed down schools, close down businesses, all these different

147
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: things governors, health commissioners and progress windsurfers and threat they pose.

148
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: And presidents have huge powers too. The idea of being

149
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: able to, uh, you know, throw in these tariffs by

150
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: one guy is to deal with wartime situations and all

151
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: kinds of different things similar similar to what we're doing

152
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 2: with immigration. That's that's an emergency situation. So they gotta

153
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: say that we've got a fentanyl emergency. So Trump can

154
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: do what he's doing. AnyWho, somebody used the example of

155
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: do you want the Democrats to be able to if

156
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: AOC is president, for instance, declare an emergency around income inequality.

157
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: This this has reached emergency levels. You could find plenty

158
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 2: of people that would back up that point of view,

159
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: you know, with PhDs or whatever. And so you've got

160
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: to do all kinds of nutty, crazy things that we

161
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: would hate because there's an income inequality emergency, right right,

162
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: great example or people have used the example many times,

163
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: particularly after George Floyd, perhaps that we have got a

164
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 2: police hunting black men emergency.

165
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of things we need to do around

166
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: guns or police.

167
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 2: I mean, you can come up with endless examples of

168
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: you don't want one person to be able to do

169
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: this sort of thing with emergency powers. And I heard

170
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: it argue that if Trump can justify what he's doing

171
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: with it's an economic emergency because we've been cheated by

172
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 2: our trading partners for a long time. You could absolutely

173
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: say we have a labor emergency. We don't have nearly

174
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 2: enough labor, and so we're going to throw the borders

175
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: open again. Joe Biden's style. I mean, that's a bit

176
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: of a stretch. But if there are two words and

177
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, you see what you think of Donald

178
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: j because there are a lot of things he's doing

179
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: that are I couldn't love them more. But if there

180
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: are two words that ought to frighten you as an American,

181
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: it's emergency powers no kidding, that would be oo. That

182
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: would be our system working the way it's supposed to work.

183
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: If the Congress said no, we're going to change the

184
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: rules here so somebody can't do this again in the.

185
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: Future, and quite probably the courts as well.

186
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, let's start to show officially I'm Jack Armstrong,

187
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: he's Joe Getty on this it is Monday, brand New Week,

188
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: April seventh of the year twenty twenty five, or Armstrong

189
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: and getting we approve of this program. Let's begin then

190
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 2: officially recording the FCC rules and regulations before we're tariffed.

191
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: Here we go at Mark Knipple fifteen seconds.

192
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: Lock.

193
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: Now it's fly fix this move flag pack, hit flag short.

194
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: Here's a power three point four. When they called the

195
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: found Houston storming back in the final moments.

196
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: That is the best player in college basketball is going

197
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: to be the number one pick in the NBA draft

198
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: next year, missing possible game winning shot, ending his career,

199
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: Fire him, get rid of him, Expel him as if

200
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: he's a Hummas protester.

201
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: So I didn't watch a lot game. You watch a

202
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: game that's the men's semi final.

203
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: I didn't watch the game, so I, but I did

204
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: see everywhere the horrible foul call over him reaching over

205
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: somebody's back or whatever in the final seconds, that it

206
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: was a terrible call, horrible way from Nando's career.

207
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: Yes or no, quickly, So I don't watch a game

208
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: because I didn't.

209
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: I think it was a good call, but not to

210
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: sort of call you make in the final seconds.

211
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: You gotta let him just play.

212
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I was thinking of the thing you

213
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: always say. Your dad said, you know where you point

214
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: the mistakes you made, so it doesn't come down to

215
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: one call. They didn't score. They scored one basket in

216
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: the final ten and a half minutes. If you score

217
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: one basket in the final ten and a half minutes,

218
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: you're supposed to That was a terrible call. You're supposed

219
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: to lose. How about you put yourself in a position

220
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: you're up eight points, then it doesn't matter. We've got

221
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: Katie's headlines on the way, we got some mail bag,

222
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: and we got some news of theday. We'll see where

223
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: the Stark market is and all that sort of stuff,

224
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: and we'll hear from you on the text line four

225
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: one two nine five Kftclay, I have.

226
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 4: A total of about six hours invested in trying to

227
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: get my son's computer to work with the help of

228
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 4: geek squad people I learned.

229
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 2: I learned a fair amount about that over the weekend

230
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: that I look forward to talking about from various computer experts.

231
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: I also want to talk about the Minecraft movie, which

232
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: is quite the phenomenon. Holy cow, my son went on

233
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 2: Friday night and lines around the block all day long. Oh,

234
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: we should have talked about it on Friday. I kicked

235
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: myself that we didn't. But anyway, and a bunch of

236
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: other stuff. In addition enough, Neil Ferguson, in his brilliant

237
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: essay about the Tariffs, begins with.

238
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: A Minecraft movie description.

239
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: Right, because he's got his finger on the pulse. We

240
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: gotta have our finger on the pulse. Well he's got

241
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: seven year old son anyway, Yeah, get your finger on

242
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: the pulse. Katie, who's the reporting what it's the lead

243
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 2: story with Katie green Jack?

244
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: You do what are you gonna interject there? Yeah? No,

245
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: the Minecraft movie. One of the reasons it's so huge.

246
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: It's huge with little kids who still play Minecraft.

247
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: Then it's it's popular with like my son's crowd who

248
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: remember fondly playing Minecraft when they're younger. Similar all the

249
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: way up to like thirties and forties. Yeah, my thirty

250
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: two year old daughter absolutely loved it as a kid,

251
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: the primitive version of it.

252
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.

253
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 5: Katie Green, starting with ABC, Trump's top economic advisor, says,

254
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 5: fifty countries have reached out to negotiate tariffs.

255
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 2: That's what they're leaning on on Fox is that all

256
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: these countries, hey, they're they're coming in saying what can

257
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: we do? Which hopefully that's the way it works out.

258
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 2: I am certainly not rooting for this to fail.

259
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that.

260
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 5: No.

261
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: I hope Trump is amenable to it. And but the

262
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: other thing is he said, no, I'm not. We're gonna

263
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: restructure world trade for the rest of all time. So

264
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: which I'm going to restructure world trade for all time,

265
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: which is the heck of a thing. One guy gets

266
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: to restructure world trade forever. Yeah.

267
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 5: From NBC, visas revoked for more than three dozen California

268
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 5: University students and alumni.

269
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: I saw that from the new York Times.

270
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: You know Andy McCarthy speaking, I've learned to commentators talking

271
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: about how he's in favor of a lot of this,

272
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: but there's got to be due process. We don't want

273
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: to unleash an era of the government just gets to

274
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: do stuff without saying here's why we're doing it.

275
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 5: From the New York Times, judge calls mistaken deportation of

276
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 5: Maryland man a quote grievous error.

277
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: Now, one judge had said that the guy was an

278
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: MS thirteen gang member, So we that's correct, right, that

279
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: the dude was an thirteen gang member, just not quite

280
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: the level we thought.

281
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: Is that the story?

282
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: It's the facts are slippery in this case, don't I

283
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: guess the point would be, if the facts are slippery,

284
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: don't send him to one of the most horrifying prisons

285
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: in the world. And now a judges said he's got

286
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: to come back. Well, do we have the ability to

287
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: reach into horrifying prisons in other countries and pluck people

288
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: out and bring them back. Well, oh yeah, we could

289
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: call the president of El Salvador and tell him, hey,

290
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 2: Joe Jones over there.

291
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: You got to send him back. We'll buy him.

292
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: The ticket, and you have to remember that the problem

293
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: was not whether he was an MS thirteen guy or not.

294
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: There was a specific order that he not be deported

295
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: because of danger back in his country, and they just

296
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: missed that. Evidently, there's more on that story to come to.

297
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 5: From CNN, Russian attack on Zelenski's home city kills nineteen people,

298
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 5: one of the deadliest strikes so far this year.

299
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: That's brutal. How is the ceasefire going? Oh?

300
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: Please, doesn't exist, even the energy stuff, the provisional We've

301
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: gotten them to quit attacking each other's in infrastructure.

302
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: That lasted like a day. From brightbart dot com.

303
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 5: Pregnant woman seriously injured by rock thrown through Tesla windshield.

304
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god, how you people are crazy? You are

305
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,239
Speaker 1: so crazy.

306
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: That video Katie sent us to the team. Maybe we'll

307
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: play some of it. These people are completely unhinged. They

308
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: don't make any sense. They're like wild animals.

309
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: From The New York Post.

310
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 5: Inside gen Z's obsession with quote tweakments the plastic surgery

311
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 5: trend to create a natural beauty.

312
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Look, why is it called tweakments? Like it's a little

313
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: bit at a time.

314
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 5: Because you can't tell you had anything done well.

315
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: The botox that. Yeah, you know, that's the.

316
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: Way all cosmetic things should be. You should barely be

317
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: able to tell. Yeah, they're like, crap, what happened to you?

318
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: Twenty five year olds?

319
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you don't want to have something you don't

320
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,359
Speaker 2: want to look twenty seven.

321
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 5: And finally, the Babylon Bee fair child dominates Pinata at

322
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 5: birthday party with torpedo bat.

323
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,719
Speaker 1: Yes, well that's on fire. He got all the candy.

324
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: He is the torpedo bat.

325
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 2: We had some more news coming up. I shaved over

326
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: the weekend and Yada's too violent. I shaved over the

327
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: weekend and learned something about myself. Also important, important life lesson.

328
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 3: So oh boy Armstrong and Geeddy, don't you think your

329
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 3: party needs to acknowledge that President Biden was not up

330
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 3: for the job of running for reelection and that this

331
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 3: was a major mistake.

332
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: But he made that.

333
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: Decision, I know, but you all went along with he

334
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: he was up for it and he wasn't, and everybody

335
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 3: saw it and the country rejected it.

336
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

337
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: Well, I look, history will tell us to go back

338
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: on that.

339
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: That very well could be the case, Jake.

340
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 2: What I'm concerned about is learning from those lessons.

341
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: I would hope we would never do it again.

342
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 6: For me to gauge what they're the closest advisors of

343
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 6: the president we're seeing at the time, I can only

344
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 6: speak to the interactions that I had with him, which were,

345
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 6: you know, in the months leading up to his getting

346
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 6: out of the race, largely ceremonial occasions.

347
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: So that's Schiff Senator from California.

348
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: Unfortunately Tim Walls, who was too close to being vice

349
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: president for my comfort. Oh, historytic on that? What does

350
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: what the hell does that mean? Your words don't even

351
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 2: make sense before we even get to the validity of

352
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: your opinion. I can't figure out what it is. You know,

353
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: he called the Republicans weird. He's got a real folksy charm.

354
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 2: Is what a great choice. I give it an a

355
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: plus for like a week. The guy's a numbskull. I

356
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: hope we learned from the experience and don't make the

357
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: mistake again. What running a senile ancient man and pretending

358
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: he's okay? You hope you hope you learn from that.

359
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 2: History learns from that. Okay, History will go back on that.

360
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 2: What found that funny?

361
00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 4: You know?

362
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: Becket Adams, who writes for the National Review, wrote a

363
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: great piece over the weekend about the opportunistic end of

364
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 2: the Biden cover up. Now everybody's gone from he's great.

365
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: In fact, he's better than ever. Oh he was so

366
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: senile now that there are book deals and profits to

367
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: me made, or putting yourself in a position like Adam

368
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: Shiff where my only interactions with him was were ceremonial.

369
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: So I didn't have any knowledge of Okay.

370
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right.

371
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: Everybody in America who doesn't live in Washington, d C.

372
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: Eighty five percent of us knew he wasn't okay. But

373
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: you living in DC and hearing all the rumors and stuff,

374
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: you thought he was fine. Because whatever, Adam Schiff is

375
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 2: one of the great liars of our generation.

376
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: You know any other This is a per the smallest

377
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: and his neck I've ever seen. Oh yeah, yeah, and

378
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: it's the neck too. I left that out.

379
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: I got highly annoyed yesterday. I could end I could

380
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: end the sentence there. I could end the sentence there.

381
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 2: I got highly annoyed yesterday. And you could fill in

382
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: any number of things that led to that. Over this,

383
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 2: a friend of mine sent me this, a long New

384
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: York Times article about Orwell and how we live in

385
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: such Orwellian times. And it was very long and interesting,

386
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: and I'm a huge Orwell fan, and it had a

387
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 2: lot of nuggets about his life in it and everything

388
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 2: like that. But every example they used in the New

389
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 2: York Times about how we live in Orwellian times came

390
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: from the Trump side of things.

391
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: It was uh.

392
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 2: And there there were some perfectly good examples of uh.

393
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: You know, Ukraine started the war, and you know, things

394
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: like that that were that are highly troubling to me,

395
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 2: but not even a mention of for instance, the biggest

396
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 2: spending spree in US history being called the Inflation Reduction Act.

397
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, what could be more Orwellian than that? You

398
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: gave it a name.

399
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: The opposite was or people walking around pretending that what

400
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: we're seeing with our own eyes is not true, that

401
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 2: the doddering old president was senile. That's highly Owellian because

402
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: they didn't have any samples of that. Only things that

403
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: Trump does, the rewriting of history, the redefining of common words,

404
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 2: the canceling people who did not use their new speak.

405
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not an Orwell authority, but I'm a

406
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 2: hell of a fan, and trust me, there's plenty to

407
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: despise on the left.

408
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: That's obscene. Just to throw this God, just just admit

409
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: what you are. That's all I ask of these people.

410
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 2: Just say, look, I advocate for leftist causes. That's what

411
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: I do. I am the New York Times. Fine, okay, great, let's.

412
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: Get it on.

413
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: I'll throw this line out there from the writer about

414
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: the oroil piece, just so you'll know it. It's similar

415
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: to how pointless the word fascist is at this point,

416
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: which I think Orwell actually said, the word fascism had

417
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: ceased to have any meaning. The word orwell has ceased

418
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: to have any meaning. This person said, Orwell fills a

419
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: hole for anyone who wants to establish any kind of

420
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: intellectual pedigree. So wherever you are on the political spectrum,

421
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: you can throw a little orwell which fits in. It's

422
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: not inappropriate, but it's just so easily used for so

423
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: many different things. I don't know what it means any more. Well,

424
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: I did that hints that one ought to refrain from it.

425
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 2: That would be to pass up on one of the

426
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: great arguments ever made in favor of liberty. So I

427
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: will not be acceding to that that author's request. I

428
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 2: think it indeed he can make love to himself.

429
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: Although I see his point, I only like when it

430
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: becomes hitler, you know.

431
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I mean. It becomes like calling people

432
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: a fascist or hitler. It's just everybody does it all

433
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 2: the time, and the problem is you need to accept

434
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: we live in our willion times on both sides of

435
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: the aisle. If you're going to go with its only

436
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: one side, then if you you're just come on, who

437
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: what are you trying to claim here?

438
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: Well and Orwell would hate.

439
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: You for it, Yes he would, And frankly, I would

440
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: rather earn the respect of Orwell in heaven than any

441
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 2: current commentators now. But that fitting perfectly with the Tim

442
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: Waltz thing there in the Adam ship there where you

443
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 2: know you're telling people to not believe what they're seeing

444
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 2: with their own eyes.

445
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: That's exactly what that was.

446
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: And to that point, I love this from Peckett Adams

447
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 2: on Morning Joe last week, where host Joe Scarborough boasted

448
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: not long before the disastrous debate performance, this version of Biden,

449
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 2: intellectually and analytically is the best Biden ever well. He

450
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: has had Jonathan Allen Namey Hill Barnes rather on to

451
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: discuss their new book, which details the lengths to which

452
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: the former presidents in her circle reportedly went to keep

453
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: his deterioration a secret from voters.

454
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: And then the cute part.

455
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 2: Scarborough and chirpy little Mika nodded along as if they

456
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: were mere spectators to the efforts to hide the president's condition,

457
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: not themselves active participants. You know, said Scarborough. We always

458
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 2: look back in retrospect and think things were a certain way,

459
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: but just because it's the way the media at the

460
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: time to find it.

461
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean there's more.

462
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: But and then Adams says, for the record, in the

463
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: years leading up to Biden's disgraceful exit from the White House,

464
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: even as everyone with working eyeballs could tell you something

465
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: was definitely wrong with the chief executive, Scarborough is sure

466
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 2: viewers that the president was fit as a fiddle and

467
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: more energetic and vital than men.

468
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: Half his age. It goes into detail.

469
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 2: You people, when somebody tries to tell you who they

470
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 2: are five thousand times, believe them. Start your tape right now,

471
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 2: because I'm about to tell you the truth, and that

472
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: you if you.

473
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: Can't handle the truth.

474
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically is the best Biden ever,

475
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 2: I'm embarrassed for him. I'm embarrassed for him. Well, Adams,

476
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: I'm honestly thinking, here, have I ever cheerleaded something that

477
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: badly where I was that far off of reality? I don't.

478
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 2: I sure don't think so. Gosh, I would hope that

479
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: if you think I have pointed out I hope not either.

480
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 2: I mean, because it's it's horrifying. I would if I

481
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: if I realized I had been I you know, I

482
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 2: still think like the the Iraq War, if anybody had

483
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: had any idea how half cock the implementation of the

484
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: occupation was going to be, I think it would have

485
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 2: changed perceptions immediately. But there was no way for me

486
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 2: to know that. Although you could say, well you trusted

487
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: government too much in George W. Bush and rumsfeldt okay,

488
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 2: fair enough, But that wasn't delusional.

489
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: It was just lacking information.

490
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: And Beckett Adams points out that if you can believe

491
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 2: that Scarborough's co host was somehow worse, insisting after the

492
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 2: debate that Biden still had what it would take to

493
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: win the election, quote, he's the man for this moment

494
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: that bat Care addressing directly the chorus of Biden Dowters.

495
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: Good lord anyway, and we beat medicare what okay?

496
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: Coming up?

497
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: The former president of Columbia getting grilled in a Justice

498
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 2: Department hearing and her sudden and catastrophic memory loss is

499
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: she can remember anything that happened in any circumstance, even

500
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: though she's said to be a brilliant scientist. Also, giant prostitution,

501
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 2: high end luxury brothel scandal shaking Boston, luxury brothel in Boston. Yeah,

502
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 2: well right outside. But yeah, the way the business was

503
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 2: run and the people caught up in it really interesting.

504
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Cool.

505
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: I also want to talk about it may be the

506
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 2: end of sports gambling. AI is way too good at it.

507
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute, Yeah, and it's pretty damned interesting.

508
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 2: I'll have to talk about that later. And it's already

509
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: way too good at it, and I wonder where it

510
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 2: might go, and you know, the obvious problems to go

511
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 2: with that. I had to go ahead. I was I'm

512
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 2: a half whit. How did that not occur to me?

513
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 2: And everybody writing about AI seems pretty obvious, like right

514
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: this moment, that was going to be a problem. Yeah, oh,

515
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: I don't know how they're going to handle that. And

516
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 2: then quickly before we go to break. I had grown

517
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 2: a winter beard to keep my face warm over the

518
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: last month and shaved it off over the weekend, but

519
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 2: left my sad fifteen year old freshman in high school

520
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 2: like mustache behind.

521
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: And it's just it's.

522
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: Really opened myself up to mockery, so I should shave

523
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 2: that off today. Some people just not built for facial hair,

524
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 2: and I'm one of them, right, Yeah, it's not a

525
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: matter of character.

526
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: It's fine. It might be.

527
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: It might be, oh, one of those thick Freddy Mercury

528
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: and Queen mustaches. Certain announcement you'd like to make. You

529
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 2: don't have to be okay to have a mustache. As

530
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: you know, in the nineties especially, I was desperate to

531
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 2: have the big guitar player sideburns, the big right down

532
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 2: to the jaw line, alt countryside burns.

533
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: Nope, Nope, couldn't do it. Yeah, dang it. You either

534
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: have it you don't. What are you gonna do? And

535
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: don't taking a shave?

536
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it gets me every time. So we

537
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: got Joe's mailbag on the way and we'll get in

538
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 2: some of those stories. Seriously, what's gonna happen with sports betting?

539
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: If AI is as good or better than the very

540
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: best humans, stay tuned if.

541
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 4: You're catching this live as opposed to later. Somehow, we

542
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 4: are officially in a bear market, which is when wild

543
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 4: bears run the streets of New York and people fear

544
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 4: for their lives.

545
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: I think that's what that means.

546
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: Appropriately, yes, but yeah, there's are released by the zoos by.

547
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: Decree of law.

548
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: Nasdak down five hundred some points, the dow down between

549
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: twelve hundred and sixteen hundred, depending on when you look

550
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: at it.

551
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: That's after a couple of really big down days already.

552
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: Wow, I wish I had a little more cache laying

553
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: around by the dip, by the might be buying it

554
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 2: on it's way down though, by the depression, by the depression.

555
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day, sent along

556
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: by Kevin in beautiful scenic Placerville, California. Hey, big freedom

557
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: and simple Jack. Here's a topical freedom loving quote of

558
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: the day candidate from Friedrich Hayek.

559
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: Always appropriate quote.

560
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 2: The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men

561
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: how little they really know about what they imagine they

562
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: can design. Yeah, and then he says, just by way

563
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: of comment, Kevin says, no person or group of persons

564
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: designed the modern globalized economy, and we should be very

565
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 2: skeptical when a small group of people attempt to radically

566
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: change it anyway. Owing to Yeah, I would agree with

567
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: that sentiment. More on that later on. Mail Bag, Would

568

Speaker 2: you like to communicate exchange views? Our email address is

Speaker 2: Mailbag at armstrong and getty dot com. You can also

570
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 2: text us four one five two nine five KFTC. Besides

571
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: show Bob Wright, I think Donald Trump is one hundred

572
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 2: percent right. Now is the time to buy up all

573
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: the stock you can and get filthy rich. And I

574
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: will as soon as I get my Doge check.

575
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I'm going to do.

576
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure the Doge checks have gone out yet. Let's see,

577
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: this is from Mark Interesting hearing you guys talking circles

578
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: about what drives Ezra Cline and that sort of person,

579
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 2: and if he believes what he says, especially after so

580
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: clearly recognizing what Katherine Mayer was doing, that's the NPRG wolf.

581
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: Ezra Kline is a communist and lies. Sure, he crafts

582
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 2: his outward image a little more intelligently than Mayor, but

583
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: he's the same thing same.

584
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: With all the das you guys are aware of.

585
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 2: He's only espousing those theories because they want useful idiots

586
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 2: and want to be intellectuals to believe it, and it's

587
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: all ideological subversion is odded by Yuri Besmanov in that

588
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 2: fabulous sentimental interview from the eighties that many of us

589
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 2: have watched online. We ought to just roll that and

590
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 2: comment on it as a podcast someday if people haven't

591
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 2: heard that. It's incredibly you know, just wise and informative.

592
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: Anyway.

593
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are activists who know precisely what they're doing.

594
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: Then they're useful idiots, and I'm just we're just sometimes

595
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: curious which one somebody is. Love this total change of

596
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: topic from Brian, Hi Joe, and he addresses me because

597
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: he says, I imagine an interesting conversation with your brother,

598
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 2: who is a career naval officer, would be asking him

599
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 2: what it takes to keep a ship operational in the fleet.

600
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: A marine environment is very harsh and it is a

601
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: complex and expensive endeavor to keep a ship operational. My

602
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: understanding is for every one day operational, it requires three

603
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: days in port for inspections, maintenance, refitting. The US Navy

604
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: has two hundred and fifty years of experience and the

605
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 2: Chinese Navy has maybe two decades at best. So the

606
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: Chinese can build as many ships as they want keeping

607
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: them operational. As a whole nother story, the ussr two

608
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: or three times as many subs as the US, but

609
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: couldn't put as many out to see as the US

610
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: Navy leaves one the thing the Chinese are in a

611
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: use it or lose its situation. Good excuse to call

612
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: your brother. Thank you for that family advice. That is

613
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: an interesting point of view. And I'm especially excited or

614
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: enthusiastic about that email because on the advice of a

615
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: respected colleague, I'm reading for the first time The Cane Mutiny,

616
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 2: which is about the Navy in World War Two and

617
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: is fantastic.

618
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: I've never read that. I've never seen the movie.

619
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 2: It did not become a classic, accidentally. It is just

620
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: brilliantly written and compelling, and it's a novel of bad

621
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: things happening, and I am constantly uneasy while I'm reading it.

622
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: It just sucks you in.

623
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 2: Anyway, let's see a couple of AI epic fails. You

624
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: remember last week, Jack, that I was trying to remember

625
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: on the behalf of a couple listeners when we'd talked

626
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: about an illustration of economics using a dairy farmer, not

627
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: the if you have two cows in communism as well,

628
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: it's something different. It was actually a conversation with Tim

629
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: Sanderfer we had and AI found it immediately and even

630
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: could site the day that we.

631
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: Talked about it. Amazing.

632
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: Well, here's a different Kevin who says I was trying

633
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: to find the specific discussion about the comic book guy

634
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: that got busted for posting ripped off comics on eBay,

635
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 2: and I tested the AI theory and he let me

636
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: down tragically. The answer was, you're likely referring to the

637
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 2: podcast Armstrong and Geddy in their discussion about a comic

638
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: book Seef. The podcast hosted by Joe Armstrong and Bob

639
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: Getty often covers various topics blob blah blah. Wow, that's

640
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 2: really interesting, and that was it. So Jack Armstrong and

641
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: Joe Gedty, not Joe and Bob. So we had the

642
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: example of somehow AI digging into the archive and coming

643
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 2: up with the correct answer in moments, and then you've

644
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: got that's full on hallucination, isn't it even better. Here

645
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: is alert listener Norman, who lives in beautiful Elk Grove, California.

646
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: There was a power outage. He used AI to see

647
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: what the answer for how it happened might be, and

648
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: I could how much time do we have? Michael Okay.

649
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 2: The power outage and Elk Grove last night was called

650
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: by a tree falling on power lines. According to reports,

651
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 2: the tree fell on power lines near Midway. Driving east,

652
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 2: Lessie rode around eight thirty.

653
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, bah blah.

654
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 2: He says, I thought this was awesome, such a detailed answer.

655
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: Why do I need to search for answers myself in

656
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: the future. Then it occurred to me that I had

657
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 2: never heard of either street in Elk Grove, So I

658
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: looked it up in Elk Grove, Elk nor any other

659
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 2: city in northern California has a combination of both street names.

660
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: Wow, so it made it up.

661
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what Norman figured, let's see And then then

662
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: he re tried and said, sorry, I didn't find any

663
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: news stories about the cause of the power outage and

664
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 2: Elk Grove. Frequently power outages occurred from trees downing, but

665
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: there was a specific story that he'd read, so not

666
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: quite ready for prime time, or it will always be

667
00:34:54,120 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: that way. Nobody's sure. Wow, that's that's pretty damned interesting. Huh.

668
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: The AI gurus don't know why the hallucinations occur, which

669
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 2: is going to make it tough to get rid of them.

670
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 2: So the dow down dang near six thousand points in

671
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 2: three days because of this new restructuring, which, as we.

672
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: Were talking about earlier.

673
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: Hey, when I when I did chemotherapy, it made me

674
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: sicker for a while before it made me healthy again.

675
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 2: Maybe the medicine of the tariffs is going to make

676
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: the market sick for a little while, or it's gonna kay.

677
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 1: Ya ya ya ye, yeah No, Getty

678
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty
