1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Katty and he 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty. 5 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: And so. 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 3: A Texas man accused of swallowing diamonds he stole from 7 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 3: Tiffany's has. 8 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 4: Decided to represent himself in court. 9 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 3: But said he should be able to afford a lawyer 10 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 3: once the Prunes kick in. 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: Boy, we did hate it, we did. 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 4: We did that story the other day and it's a 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 4: it's a pretty good story, oh boy. The most interesting 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 4: part being they found two rings also, two earrings that 15 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 4: wearrings that he said he never stole, well, that were 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 4: unconnected to the other heights. 17 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: So does the guy just like eating jewelry? 18 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 4: Who knows what's going on there? What was the thing 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 4: I wanted to get to later? I don't even remember. 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 4: There's a number of things I want to get to later. 21 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 4: I am looking up at the television and consumer inflation 22 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 4: is what they're talking about on CBS. Inflation is up, 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 4: as we talked about yesterday, and it might be the 24 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 4: only story the whole summer long if the war continues. 25 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that among other factors and most economists, including 26 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: ones that are not you know, Trump deranged or saying, yeah, 27 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: the tariffs really are starting to be a fuel for inflation. 28 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: You may have heard the latest numbers were an annualized 29 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: basis the three point eight percent inflation, which is almost 30 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: double the FEDS target. We're usually amused by these stories. 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: Last month, consumer prices rose at their fastest rate since 32 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. 33 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: It's a couple of years ago. Who cares, But well, the. 34 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 4: Reason those matter more is we were still you know, 35 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 4: we're still in that whole COVID hangover thing. 36 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: And the Biden administration was pumping trillions of dollars into 37 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: the economy. Yes, yeah, so fuel oil is up fifty 38 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: four percent year over here, gasoline all types twenty eight 39 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: point four percent, airline fares twenty one percent, fruits and 40 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: veggies up six percent, hospital services five and a half. 41 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: Rent of primary residence up about three percent. Then you 42 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: get into smaller numbers. Obviously, the only thing down appears 43 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: to be used cars and trucks. 44 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 2: And gets surprising. 45 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 4: You combine the fact that inflation is a big story 46 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 4: and everybody talks about it and we all hate it 47 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 4: with the media's love of blaming Trump for this. This 48 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 4: is going to be the dominant story. 49 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, it's funny they didn't have nearly as 50 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: much interest in this few years ago. 51 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: I wonder what happened. 52 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: The only only thing that well, there's a hell of 53 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: a lot that bothers me about inflation. If you've ever 54 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: heard my inflation is theft by the government rant, you know, well, 55 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: I don't need to repeat it. They cause inflation to 56 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: make their debt that they've accumulated to spread out the 57 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: money their cronies and buy votes. 58 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 2: Make the debt less expensive. 59 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 4: Which also makes your savings for one k, everything you've 60 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 4: got less valuable. 61 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: Cuts your pay and steals your savings exactly, which is 62 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: just horrifying. 63 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: Anyway, that was a rather long parenthetical thought. Here's what 64 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: really bothered me was investors in US treasury bonds the 65 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: regular kind and tips. They're called Treasury inflation protected securities 66 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: or tips. There's a difference in the rate between them, 67 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: and I'm not going to get into it, but it's 68 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: known the gap between those two is known as the 69 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: break even rate. It recently hit its highest level since 70 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: October of twenty two, suggesting that investors expect annual inflation 71 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: to average around two point seven percent over the next 72 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: five years. It's not awful, but it's a little high, 73 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: and we'll put pressure on the Fed not to lower rates. 74 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: So that's what the smart money on Wall Street is thinking. 75 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: You know that they're wrong sometimes, but it's not great. 76 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 4: That Holand so I was thinking about this yesterday and 77 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 4: seeing some of the polling up the way people feel 78 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 4: about Trump's handling in the economy. New number out today. 79 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 4: I think NBC Polley's at thirty percent. He's going to 80 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,799 Speaker 4: be in the twenty soon. On that whole thing. Talk 81 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 4: radio hosts, political science professors, pundits all over the freaking place, 82 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 4: writing long, complicated columns about politicians and races and policies 83 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 4: and how you handled this debate or or this whatever, 84 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: all these complicated issues when elections may just probably do 85 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 4: just get decided by the millions of people who go 86 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 4: just with things are more expensive. Now, I'm voting for 87 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 4: the other guy without any more thought than that. 88 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: Right, even if the other guys have caten policies that'll 89 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: they don't cost me. 90 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: They don't know about that, they don't think about that. 91 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 4: It's there are enough people that vote on just things 92 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 4: are too expensive right now, or I'm afraid of whatever, 93 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,799 Speaker 4: could be afraid of foreign country COVID or inflation. Yeah, 94 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 4: without any more knowledge, those millions of people sway the 95 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 4: elections back and forth, and all of us talk about 96 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 4: it in really complicated terms, and it's not complicated. It's 97 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 4: just things. I thought things were going to be cheaper 98 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 4: than not. I'm voting for the other guy. 99 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: Here's a shiny object. Whoop woop, shiny object. Here's a 100 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: shiny object. I like shiny object. Click cast the vote. Well, 101 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: inflation is not a shiny object. It's a real damn problem, 102 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: right Yeah. But if if you don't and I'd love 103 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: one of those men on the street interview Internet the 104 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: guys to do this. Should people who don't know anything 105 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: about government policy vote because if you're wow inflation time, 106 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to vote for the other side and their 107 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: policies again are even worse. 108 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: I mean, that's just a ridiculous voter. 109 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: But it could be argued that, well, decide that got 110 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: voted out gets the message and when they do regain power, 111 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: they'll not make the same mistake again. 112 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: I suppose you could argue that that's what one would hope. 113 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: I would argue that two hundred and fifty years is 114 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: a good run, but it's falling apart. 115 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: Oh, that reminds me at some point. 116 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: I want to squeeze this in because I know you 117 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: want to talk about rats in LA but the elites 118 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: who want to burn it down. Peter Berkowitz, whose work 119 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: I don't think, I know, talking about professors on the 120 00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: radical left and the radical right, folks who are super comfortable, bourgeois, 121 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: wealthy even but they're constantly declaring there's a crisis that 122 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: demands a revolution or a counter revolution. Upper class twits 123 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: advocating revolution, like Matt TYEBI said. It's super super in 124 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: fashion right now, is it? Because we live in the 125 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: age of hyperbole and that's the only way to bust 126 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: through and get clicks and likes and stuff. 127 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: I don't know. 128 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 4: I wanted to talk a little bit about some of 129 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 4: the things that people have been saying about that redistricting 130 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 4: ruling that came out of the Virginia Supreme Court. 131 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh my god, horrifying what they're. 132 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: Saying about it. Yes, yeah, agreed. I'll tell you about that, Arlie. 133 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 4: Dishonestly, we tell you about in Cogny man, we can 134 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 4: help you in a variety of ways because we get 135 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 4: involved with clients that we think are really good for you. 136 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: This one's so easy and so good for you. 137 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 4: And Cogney can cause your spam tech, spam emails, spam 138 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 4: calls to go way way down. Have your data protected 139 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 4: that's floating out there on the internet. 140 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: This is so good. Yeah. All the data broker sites 141 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: have all your info. 142 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: You've probably learned that already, and they're all sorts of 143 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: hidden databases you probably don't even know exist. But in 144 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: Cogni is busy removing our names and info from hundreds 145 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: of databases, and not once, they keep sending follow up 146 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: requests so your data stays removed, protecting you from spam, scams, 147 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: and real digital threats. Remember, they can't scam you if 148 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: they can't find you. 149 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 4: There are all kinds of laws on our side, but 150 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 4: you don't have the time or the knowledge to deal 151 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 4: with this. 152 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: And Cogny uses these laws. 153 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 4: They legally force these data brokers to remove your information 154 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 4: and they stay on top of it. You're gonna notice 155 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 4: a drop in the spam calls, emails, and texts. Take 156 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 4: your personal data back within Cogni i n cog ni 157 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 4: is how it's spelled, gets sixty percent off the regular 158 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 4: price when you use the code Armstrong and Cogniti dot 159 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 4: com slash Armstrong sixty percent off in Cogniti dot com 160 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 4: slash Armstrong. Yeah, we didn't talk as much about this 161 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 4: as we probably should have. So they tried to do 162 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 4: a redistricting thing in Virginia similar to what they did 163 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 4: in California or Texas to a certain extent. 164 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 2: But it's just. 165 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 4: Horrifying the way they were going to redraw the districts 166 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 4: and cut out most of the Republicans who vote there. 167 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 4: Just nobody's in favor of that sort of thing. It 168 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 4: polls very, very poorly, right among it should all people. Yeah, 169 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 4: this sort of Jerrymanning is awful. Anyway, they did it 170 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 4: there in Virginia. The voters voted to do that, and 171 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 4: then the Virginia Supreme Court stepped in and said, no, 172 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 4: that violates our state constitution. 173 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 2: You're not allowed to do that. Right. The way you 174 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: did that was wrong. 175 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 4: And now you've got so many prominent Democrats out there 176 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 4: saying this is worse than many of the court decisions 177 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 4: in American history. You know that that allowed you to 178 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 4: abuse slaves, or kept black people from voting, or just 179 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 4: some of the worst stuff that's. 180 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: Ever happened in our country's history. They're comparing to this, and. 181 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 2: It's just a why, it's a flat out lie. 182 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: The guy, the justice, the head justice who wrote the 183 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: opinion was appointed by Mark Warner, the Democrat, when he 184 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: was governor. This guy's like a moderate Democrat, and he said, no, 185 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: you didn't follow the rules for mending the constitution. Doesn't 186 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: This is not good and the dishonesty is just so blatant. 187 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: At some point there was conversation of the judges reviewing 188 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: the constitutionality of the measure before the campaign and the voting, 189 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: and the Democrats said, no, no, no, you can't do that. 190 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: Don't do that, and they petitioned the judges to wait 191 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: till after the vote. Well after the vote. Then the 192 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: judges said, all right, now we're going to take a 193 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: look at it. And now the Democrats are screaming, why 194 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: didn't the. 195 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 2: Judges tell us before the vote? 196 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: The very same people, and the Internet lives forever, we 197 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: have the receipts, the very same people who are telling 198 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: the justices no, it would be improper for you to 199 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: rule before the people are allowed to vote. Are now 200 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 1: screaming that the justices should have interceded. It will fire 201 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: people up, they will donate money, they will show up 202 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: to vote. The fact that they are setting fire to 203 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: their own Democrat dominated Supreme Court, they don't care. This 204 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: is why if you are willing to torch our beloved 205 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: republic for momentary gain for your state legislature. 206 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 2: I don't know that the Republican endure. 207 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 4: Well, it was a four to three ruling by the 208 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 4: Virginia Supreme Court, which is horrifying. It should not have 209 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 4: been close at all because it was just flat out 210 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 4: illegal to do what they did under their current constitution. 211 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 4: All of these various I mean some of your high 212 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 4: ranking ranking people in the Democratic Party coming out and 213 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 4: just saying this is racist and all these horrible things. 214 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 4: My concern is not just that you know, it's a 215 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 4: good way to raise money. It's another justifies violence thing. 216 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 4: If you think this is as bad as Jim Crow 217 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 4: era laws, you can justify all kinds of things. I 218 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 4: don't know how we stop doing this, Yeah, I don't know. 219 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 4: Each side has to call out. The only way it 220 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 4: ever stops is that if you start calling out your 221 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 4: own side, and nobody's willing to do that yet. Anyway, 222 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 4: if you had some prominent Democrat come out and say, no, 223 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 4: come on, that's ridiculous. This is not Jim Crow on steroids, 224 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 4: like Biden said about what went on in Georgia that 225 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 4: one time, or any. 226 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 2: Of those things. We just nobody will call out their 227 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 2: own side. 228 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 5: Ever. 229 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: No, I don't see it coming. But you know, sometimes 230 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: these currents of a culture change and you don't see 231 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: them coming. But I don't know what would change it 232 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: at this point. To suggest that the Trump Supreme Court 233 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: so called, is an out of control fascist, blah blah 234 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: blah court that just rubber stams Trump when the vast 235 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: majority of his decisions are you know, are eight to two, 236 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: nine to nothing, you know whatever, eight to one. Rather, 237 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: people are willing to say anything to gain momentary political advantage, 238 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: no matter the damage does, including Trump. 239 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: I don't know how we bounce back from this. 240 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 4: Honestly, excuse me, waiter, I didn't ask for raisins on 241 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 4: my salad. 242 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,359 Speaker 2: Oh, let me take that back.

Yeah, 343 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 4: it's that the consensus feeling of young people. 344 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 2: I think it's the feeling. 345 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: It's the feeling, not necessarily the intellectual attitude. 346 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 2: If I'm a young college. 347 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: Grad, I got a white collar on and I'm you know, 348 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm looking for one of them college grad jobs.

Oh my god, that's interesting. 350 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 4: I just assumed, like every new technological thing, internet, phone, TikTok, whatever, 351 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 4: the young people love it, dig it And she mentions 352 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 4: AI and everybody booze. 353 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's interesting. Which reminds me. We have some 354 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: really interesting stories from the world of education, mostly college, 355 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: but not exclusively, including Brace Yourselves. Some good news coming 356 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: up later, so stay with us. That could have some 357 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: serious political implications. I mean, if you have the older 358 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: crowd hating non AI, I mean, I'd love if it 359 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: just never happened. 360 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any stopping it. Can I keep 361 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: my chat bot? 362 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 4: But if young people hate it too, you could get 363 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 4: some sort of political movement for all kinds of regulation. 364 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 4: Probably not that I think that would do any good. Anyway, 365 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 4: different story. I wanted to hit this, how did this 366 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 4: get started? To oh AOC and others who have talked 367 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 4: about how billionaires shouldn't exist and every billionaire cheated the 368 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 4: world and all that sort of stuff has been real 369 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 4: And the billionaire at tax in California, which is going 370 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 4: to pass and end up being a by far a 371 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 4: net loss for any state that starts punishing rich people 372 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 4: almost immediately, almost immediately. 373 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 2: Anyway, I don't know if you know who Robert Reich is. 374 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 4: It's four foot eleven, so if you've seen him on 375 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 4: TV's they're really short guy. And he was the Secretary 376 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 4: of Labor under Bill Clinton, but he was an advisor 377 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 4: for Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter. 378 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 2: He's one of your lefty left at Trotsky. 379 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 4: Intellectual economic people who's usually passed off on TV's mainstream. 380 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 4: Though a Democrat, he's a professor at the University of 381 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 4: California at Berkeley. Anyway, he put out this post yesterday 382 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 4: about that whole billionaire thing because AOC had said, any 383 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 4: billionaire you know got it through its ill gotten goods. 384 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 4: He said, there are basically five ways to accumulate a 385 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 4: billion dollars. Here's a guy who's dedicated his life to 386 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 4: understanding economics. Yeah, there are five ways to accumulate a 387 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 4: billion dollars. One profiting from a monopoly, two insider trading, 388 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 4: three political payoffs, four fraud, five inheritance. Those are the 389 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 4: only five ways. Don't believe the self made myth, he said. 390 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 2: That is bizarre. It's utterly unsquarebable with the fact. Do 391 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 2: you think he believes that. He doesn't think that? 392 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I can give you the actual 393 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 4: research shows most billionaires accumulated wealth by founding and building 394 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 4: successful companies. A University of Chicago study found that seventy 395 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 4: percent of the twenty eleven Forbes, four hundred billionaires started 396 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 4: their own businesses. 397 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: Do you think he believes that it's possible? It's practically 398 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: a coin flip? Go ahead, I'm sorry, was there more 399 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: to your sentence? Marxists lie a lot constantly. It's part 400 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: of their strategy because they count on you thinking, well, 401 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: he wouldn't lie about something that important, but he would. 402 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: On the other hand, you're dedicated, you know, radical theorists. 403 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: They truly believe all sorts of stuff that's unsquareable with reality. 404 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: So whether he believes it or not, I don't know, 405 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: it's dangerous either way. 406 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 4: Well, as a bunch of people pointed out, what if 407 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 4: you invented something that you know, one hundred million people 408 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 4: wanted to buy and it costs you know, a little bit. Yeah, 409 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 4: there's a billion. Why does that seem so crazy to you? 410 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: Global supply chains, there's you know, several billion people in 411 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: the developed world who are consumers and they really like 412 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: your product. 413 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 2: How about that? Robert aoc The first person. 414 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 4: Who comes up with an electric car that actually, you know, 415 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 4: is viable shouldn't. 416 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: End up a billionaire. How about Taylor Swift? 417 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 4: There's a good example. Although I heard the pushback the 418 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 4: other day. I think it was might have been Robert 419 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 4: Reisia that people always go to Taylor Swift or right, 420 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 4: I'll stop, or jay z Yes to make their point. 421 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 2: Those are exceptions. The rule is these other five things. 422 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 2: Lion Commie, I thought that was extraordinary. 423 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: He was supposed to be like a mainstream Democrat advisor 424 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: to mainstream Democrat presidents, and he doesn't believe you can 425 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: become a billionaire without stealing it. I'll tell you what, 426 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: in politics, it is a one inch putt trying to 427 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: convince people who are envious to believe in the politics 428 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: of envy. It's the easiest thing in the world. Wow, 429 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: that's just so unhealthy and so on. American Really, for 430 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: most of our history we admired those who came up 431 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: with great ideas and became wealthy. 432 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought that was mind boy. 433 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: Well, oddly enough, this next topic includes a billionaire. He 434 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: might be America's wackiest man. Do you remember when we 435 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: were talking about Eric Swallwell and his sexcapades and the 436 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: fact that he was living with a billionaire donor who's 437 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: like his biggest fan. Stephen Klubec was his name, And 438 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: when the Swalwell.
