WEBVTT - I Will Bang This Gong Until My Banging Days Are Done 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:15.320 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:20.280 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong, and get 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:22.000 and Key. 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:37.360 Arm Why from the studio say signor a dimly lit 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:39.960 room deep with them the bowels of the Armstrong and 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:41.519 Getty Communications Compound. 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.199 We've made it to Wednesday. Thank god. Today we're under 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.800 the tutelage of our general manager. It's a Sepcom classic. 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.760 Jack, those wacky next door neighbors, India and Pakistan. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.640 That's our general manager. That's right. 0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:01.240 And why Indian Pakistan, Well, they're never ending simmering conflict 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.680 has grown a good deal hotter in the. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:04.759 Last couple of weeks. 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.640 And indeed, India bombed a bunch of sites in Pakistan 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.800 in response to a terrorist attack that the Indians believe, 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:18.520 with good reason was at least at least there was 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:22.840 sympathy in the Pakistani government to the terrorists who perpetrated 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:27.480 the attack. What are they fighting about, Oh, gosh, religion, 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.880 mostly religion and power. 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:38.479 It's not a cricket thing, No, not in this case cricket. 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.479 There's some fourteen year old cricket phenom who's just set 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.399 the world a cricket on fire, really Indian fella. He 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.880 had thirty battings in his last inning and in a 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:50.800 quarter of the tea time. 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.080 There are enough Indian people in the town I live 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.360 in that every Saturday afternoon they have an all day 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.760 cricket match at the park and they wear all the 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.160 white and everything, and there's a crowd and everything. And 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.040 I've watched that for a long time, trying to figure 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.800 out even the slightest what they're doing. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:07.480 But I can't, can't grasp it. 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.119 I get to the guy hurling the ball doesn't want 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:11.880 the guy with the whacker to whack it, and the 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:13.359 whacking guy wants to whack it. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.919 But once he whacks it, I don't know what happens. Then, well, right, but. 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.560 See he's whacking it because the guy hurling it is 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.839 trying to knock down his sticks. And evidently the guy 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.280 with the whacker is really fond of those sticks and 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.600 really resents it when the hurler whacks his sticks, and 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.240 so he's trying to protect his sticks. And when he 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.919 does whack the ball away from the hurler, he runs 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:33.959 back and forth. 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:38.079 Like he's completely confused. And I think that scores points. 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.800 And we all work in a kitchen and a fancy 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.960 restaurant right afterwards. So that's why we're dressing this with exactly. 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:44.800 And it's very hot. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.240 Yeah, so we're in all the way I'm told actually, 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.840 and this will be my final thought on cricket, having 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:52.120 you know, should have stopped. 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:53.760 Probably one thought earlier. 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.400 Is I had not realized there is a new, souped up, 0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:01.080 twenty first century version of cricket that so compresses the 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.960 all day affair where you break for tea and lunch 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.960 and crumpets and what have you, into much a much 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:13.160 more conventional professional sports, you know framework, and that's gotten very, 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:13.800 very popular. 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.000 I'm told I would. 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.080 Fly to Kashmir and try to broke her a piece 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.480 between India and Pakistan, but I can no longer fly 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.280 for the first time in my life because I do 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.919 not have a real id. It turns out, though I've 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.640 got all the stats in front of me, I'm not 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.440 alone in the people across America who've decided, yeah, I'll 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:31.720 get he around to it when I get around to 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.240 it or something. So, uh, that's kind of funny. Got 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:39.400 a bunch of information on that for you. That's the 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:43.080 problem with phony deadlines. It's like if people catch on 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.200 to that meeting that starts at seven actually kind of 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.960 starts when everybody gets there, well, then people trickle in 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:50.840 at seven point thirty doomed. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:51.400 Doomed. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.520 I've known a couple of leaders in my life who 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:58.240 sting that second hand hits that time that's appointed they start, 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.280 and that takes at once right before everybody gets the 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.720 idea right, and it's a service to everyone, but it's 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:06.400 not popular. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.560 So like the first six times you delayed the real 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.720 ID thing in my life, people like me, you just 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.920 sent the message, Yeah, you're not serious, you don't mean it. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.560 And then I saw one report today on. 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:19.640 News Nation. 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.440 They were at any your East coast airports and they said, 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.000 we don't have the details, but they have a special 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.040 line for people that don't have the real i D. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.760 But you will get extra scrutiny, but you will probably fly. 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.200 And they're not telling us the story. So it makes 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.960 it sound to me like they're saying, you have to 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.400 have the real I D, but if you get there 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.480 without one, they'll still let you fly. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:40.800 Okay. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.520 Now you've just sent the message to the me of 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.160 the world that okay, so I don't even really have 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:46.320 to do it anyway, all right. 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.000 So if your name is Osama Ben Hitler, and you 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:56.120 went through the gymnastics of getting the real ID, which 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.880 were so minor and insignificant, I don't even remember doing it. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.800 There's not a lot too, then then by God you 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.000 can fly. But if you didn't, we can't have a 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.440 repeat of nine to eleven twenty four years later. So 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.919 you will sit in this line and we'll give you 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:17.839 extra scrutiny, right, but your steel still fly, Yes, eventually 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:22.320 after being cussed out by an hourly employee wearing a 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:29.080 blue uniform, right, belittled by somebody who and it's honest work. 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.760 And there are very fine folks are in the TSA. 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.880 Don't fault them for this. But I'm not sure you 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.480 need to be lecturing me. 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.480 Right, Yeah, I've been thinking about this a lot, This 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.599 lesson about how to live your life that I've learned 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.920 from the TSA. Remind me to talk about that, Michael, 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.800 What I've learned from the TSA. Okay, I've talked about 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.599 this before, but I've really nailed it down in my 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:51.440 head since then. 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.280 Oh, wisdom can come from anywhere. Clearly, I'm fascinated by 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:55.760 this faith. 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:57.719 The other thing that I can't do now that I 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.520 don't have a real idea, is I can't go into 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.200 a federal biding now. I was planning to visit the 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.560 Department of Interior because I had a few things I 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.240 wanted to tell them, But I can't get in there anymore. 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.120 I no longer can go into a federal building without 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:09.599 a reality. 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.280 You'll just have to pick at them. 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.960 Chu's back and forth outside with your placards decrying the 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:20.279 treatment of buffalo or mountains. 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.960 Or change from they do there. It's really changed my 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.320 summer plans. So I got to look into that we 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.080 should start the show officially before we get into more 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.239 than news the day. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty. 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:31.039 I think. 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.000 These are a cough button. There is a button. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.640 These are my final days, o buttons, These are my 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:42.320 last days. It is Wednesday, May the seventh, or twenty 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.359 twenty five. We are armstrung in getting and we approve 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:45.000 of this program. 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.080 All right, Let's begin then officially according to FCC rules 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:48.719 and regulations. 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:50.560 Here we go. We will. I mean, this is going 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.160 to be so good, and it starts at mark. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.800 Americans have been scrambling to motor vehicle departments to get 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.839 the ID that meets extra security standards, facing long lines 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.920 frustration before the federal deadline goes into effect Wednesday morning. 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.240 All right, because of the Vietnam War, I mean Watergate. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.720 I mean, oh, that's right, nine to eleven. Not to 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.120 minimize the horror of that day for many folks, but 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:15.840 come on. 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.640 I actually read a pretty good breakdown of all the 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.680 delays and how this all occurred in terms of something 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.559 last night while I was laying in bed coughing. 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.440 It's really pretty interesting, and really. 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.760 It just points out the way things work in the 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.920 world of government. I mean, you know, take that that 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:32.960 we've been working on for twenty years and really something 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:37.280 pretty minor, and turn that into you're gonna redo the 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.600 entire air traffic control system that you've been putting off 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:41.280 for decades. 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.720 How long will that take? I'll be long well, I'll 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:44.520 be dead by this weekend. 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.480 But like other people who are younger, you'll be long 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.559 dead before they actually rehab this system. I mean, based 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.560 on the way the relafe, the real idea doesn't even 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:53.920 require anything. 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:58.480 Right, right, And I wish I were more adept at 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:04.400 describing the two different approaches, but I probably don't need 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.840 to very accurately because people know what I'm talking about 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:12.880 when I say there is an incrementalist The bureaucracy is 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:18.360 our priority approach to government and government reform. You know, 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.960 call it the swamp if you want the permanent bureaucracy 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:25.200 whatever the turf protecting and budget protecting class in DC. 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:30.680 And then there are the disruptors, be the Doji types 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.040 from the World Attack or Donald J. For all of 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:37.160 his sins, he doesn't mind disrupting things. And to the 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.440 extent that we let the disruptors do their thing, I 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.800 think we win. And to the extent that we go 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.199 with the same old incrementalist bureaucracy. 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.559 First types, you get a result like this. 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.200 I can't wait to hear you describing the steps the 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.800 history of it, because it's unintentionally hilarious. 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.760 So Katie's back. We got our headlines. What's that radio 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.120 show you're listening to? Armstrong and Getty? 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:03.880 Oh? Is that the one with the guy with the 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.080 death rattle? Yeah? 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.640 Oh, I love that show. Is aren't that many radio 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.600 shows where the guy has a death rattle? Like I knew, 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.320 you know, you don't get that every day. So we've 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.439 got Katie's headlines on the way and more news of 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:19.800 the day. I hope you can stay here. One thing 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.920 about being under the weather. It makes me feel more 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.800 comfortable watching NBA action and man, there were some great 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:31.679 NBA games last night. Holy Cow's been fantastic playoffs. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.240 Super Oh. 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.880 Got a lot of great news to come, discussions ranging 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:39.360 from the very very practical to the philosophical and high minded. 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.240 The bidens are in between. The bidens are on the 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:46.000 View today. Joe and Jill are on the View today. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.640 Oh my well, we got to get plenty of audio 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.840 from that. He did an interview with the BBC the 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.199 other day and I read some of the transcript of it, 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:59.240 and it was incoherent, both syntactically, meaning his choice of 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.880 words and how he's strong ideas together and the ideas themselves. 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.079 But she was still she must still be running that train. 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.000 There must be evil, man, there must not evil and 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.360 nuts because anybody who had any sense would say, no, 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.280 no more interviews. You're done with interviews for the rest 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.080 of your life. It will only make your life. 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:22.320 Worse and further tarnish your legacy, such as it is.

Katie, great to 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:28.679 have you back.

The illegitimate Trump Court please. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.760 Yeah, it's going to wind its way through the lower course. 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:38.679 But between now and then, they say, all right, you 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.800 want to keep the I don't know if I'm here 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.600 or she's out of the military for a little while 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.040 ago ahead interesting, you. 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.800 Guys touched on this, but this was just sprawled across 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:53.400 the top of USA. Today, real idea requirement officially takes effect. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.240 Yeah, I will get into the hony. How many people 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.000 have actually done this in some states? The compliance is 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.600 so incredibly low it's amazing. 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.800 Yeah. Yeah. 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.880 From the New York Times, China agreed to US tariff 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.880 talks but is likely to play hardball. 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.559 I'm sure they are, as are we. 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:21.360 We have got huge, you know, practically intractable problems between us. 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.520 It's gonna be a hell of a slog in the 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:24.720 best circumstance. 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.360 Secretary Bess said today, we just want fair trade, not 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.200 to decouple, which is a pretty big statement. Oh, since 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.600 I think we're heading toward the coupling from. 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:39.600 The Washgic decoupling perhaps, but not dolls and pencils, right, 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.720 how many pencils? 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:42.920 From the Washington Post. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:48.280 Another Navy jet falls into the sea, marking fourth major 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:49.600 mishap in months. 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.600 I didn't know that. Where did that happen? 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.480 A Navy fighter jet failed to land on an aircraft 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.680 carrier and it went into the Red Sea yesterday. 0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:58.400 Wow. 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.000 Okay, well that's a little different and just tumbling off, 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:05.600 you know, at rest doing good though, just like the 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.840 captain of the boat, get insurance money if the plane 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:09.560 falls off. 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:10.720 What's going on? 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:17.920 From NBC, Saint Peter's Square fills with excitement ahead of 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:18.680 the conclave. 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.360 You whatever floats your boat. Jack's into the NBA playoffs. 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.600 I'm not. Some people are into the conclave. It's fun 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:28.680 the Pope playoffs if you will. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:33.400 Oh, later on, I want to get into the Vatican's 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:39.120 financial woes, which are extreme and I mean they make 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:43.920 like the federal budget deficit. Look, okay, time really, time 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:49.200 to sell Peter's bones. Ohh he's renting them out. 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.400 Oh please don't strike me down for that joke. Jack. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.160 It was Jack's fault. God, he jack led me into sin. 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.800 From the New York Post, pet raccoon with meth pipe 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.640 in his mouth found in driver's seat during traffic stop 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.000 that led to drug bust. 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.960 Well that's quite a headline there, so driving metht up raccoon. 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.280 Turn your back on a methed up raccoon. Man, it 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.840 was Ohio, damn, Ohio. Ohio is a meme among kids 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:23.800 for some reason. It's like the state you make fun 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.520 of My kids are always Ohio. 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.200 I don't know where it came from, but here you 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:29.720 got a met up driving raccoon. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:31.720 So here you that's not gonna help. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:37.160 No, And finally from the Babylon be Bill Belichick's girlfriend 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:38.000 leaves him. 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:45.080 For Lou Holtz. What an older. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:48.480 Yeah, wow, wow wow, So Florida man's got to be 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.280 wiping his brown thinking poo. Little focus on Ohio for 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.120 a couple of minutes. This is good. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.600 So here you go. Here's some of your compliance rates. 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.440 New Jersey. We'll start with the lowest. 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.520 New has the lowest compliance rate as of today on 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:10.800 the Real Idea at seventeen percent. Seventeen percent of people 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:12.320 got the Real Idea on time. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:13.680 In New Jersey, you. 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:17.280 Can't get one out of five, so you can obviously 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.240 that is that is a state, by the way, in 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.680 which many many folks saw the planes hit the World 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.400 Trade Center across the river, or lost people at Canter 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:31.280 Fitzgerald or or what have you. Since this is arguably 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.400 a post nine to eleven Thingam a jigger? You can't 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:35.440 get one in five? 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:40.560 Yeah, it's and obviously the enforcing it. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.320 You can't, I mean, because how many people who live 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:48.520 in New Jersey fly for work? Tens of thousands, sure, 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:50.520 And so you're not just gonna say no, you can't work. 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.040 You didn't get it on time? What this stupid id 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.560 for nine to eleven that does nothing? You're not gonna 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.440 let me fly. I got work to do. I mean, 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.120 it's just ridiculous that you would. You couldn't force that. 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:05.160 You just couldn't. There are other states doing better. But 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.760 let's so let's go to the next rung up. Uh, 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:13.080 who else is in the bottom quintile zero to twenty percent? 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.440 That's just twenty to forty percent. So it's kind of interesting. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.400 It looks to me at first glance, most of your 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.160 blue states have low compliance. Most of your red states 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.720 have high compliance. They're at damn near one hundred percent 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:32.200 in Nebraska, Wyoming, Georgia, like Kansas, New Mexico, Texas, states 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:36.360 like that are very high in compliance. You get to California, 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:40.360 it drops way down. Oregon, Washington, places like that, it 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.720 drops way down. I don't know if that Illinois, I 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:45.840 don't know if there's any you know, rhyme or reason 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:46.160 to that. 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.280 Yeah, I could hazard guesses that would tend to back 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.040 up my worldview. But I am curious to know why 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:54.600 that might be. 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.480 Yeah, but I I don't know if it makes me 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.520 feel better. That's kind of feeling like as one of 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:05.720 the least responsible adults in America. But me and the 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.960 other seven eighty three percent of New Jerseyans are in 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:09.560 the same boat. 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:11.960 You ought to consider a move to the Garden State. 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:13.600 Hoevulcan's beautiful this time of year. 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:14.080 Yeah. 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.920 So, I don't know what those of us without a 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.040 real ID will do. I guess we're gonna get the 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.040 body cavity search. We want to get on a plane. 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:22.600 Good. 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.320 So for all the big stories of the day coming 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:25.480 up in a moment or two, so. 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:26.960 Much to talk about. 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:30.920 Let's talk about the auto industry. This is an industry 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:34.720 that is probably the most interconnected between the US and Canada. 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:39.679 GM Ford and Stilantis, the big three US automakers nine 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:44.240 plants in Canada alone. These are final assembly plants and 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:48.600 parts plants. You have parts and vehicles crossing between the 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:52.720 US and Canada up to seven to nine times before 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:54.959 that vehicle is fully assembled. 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.600 That's something we learned from this whole pair of thing 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:02.080 who knew. It's hard for me to imagine that that 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.400 is efficient. Obviously it is, or they wouldn't be doing it, 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.040 But it's just it's amazing that the most efficient way 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.520 to do it is to have, you know, chunks of 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.640 or the whole car pass back and forth nine times 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:13.639 across the border. 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:18.119 I read an account the life story of a particular 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.639 component of transmissions that was like the classic eye pencil 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.080 in a way. If you've never read that, I'd recommend 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.320 it highly. Just google it, you'll find it. But they 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:28.879 were talking about how, you know, this little widget is 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.639 then fitted into that wadget, it crosses the border, and 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.600 then the motherboard is over there, so you just ship 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:37.119 it back and forth across the border to get the 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:38.840 mother board put on blah blah blah, And it does 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:40.960 indeed across the border a half dozen times or so, 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.520 that particular part of a car. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:47.240 The point of that story being, how do you work 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.280 out a tariff system with that going on? 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:50.359 That makes any sense? 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:54.960 You can straighten out trade deals that no longer make 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.040 any sense in the twenty first century, but no, you 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:00.439 cannot have a functioning twenty first century on me with 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.680 that sort of tariff, especially with your most important trading partners. 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:08.800 It's clearly a fantasy that you could ever make that work. 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:10.520 We got to play more of those clips of Trump 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:12.920 with the Canadian Prime Minister. That was something when you 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:14.520 had sitting there. He said, Olle, you look at the 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:16.920 line on the map. It's a straight line. Somebody drew 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:18.880 it with a ruler. I mean you just like I'm 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.560 a builder, I'm an artist. It's just so beautiful. The 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.040 whole thing together, it just would look so much better. 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.320 Yeah, and Carney, the new Canadian PM man, he is 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.439 the master of the poker face and diplomacy. Because it 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.960 was I'd heard some of the audio yesterday during the 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.800 show and had one impression. Then I saw the videos 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:41.399 and longer versions of the conversation. Oh, it's uncomfortable to watch. 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.679 But anyway, more on that to come. Speaking of the 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.600 auto parts and crossing the border and that sort of thing, 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:49.159 I came across this the other day and found it 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:54.440 really interesting. The F thirty five is our most advanced 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:57.959 fighter jet. It is known as the most expensive weapon 0:19:58.040 --> 0:19:59.640 in the history of the world. 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:01.679 It's worth I. 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.760 Don't know how many billions of dollars each that Unfortunately, 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:08.680 China has replicated almost perfectly by stealing all our technology. 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:13.280 They're among the most capable thieves ever. Oh. 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.600
