Story seems to have gone away? 18 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 3: Is that story? 19 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: Over All? 20 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 3: Stories go away in like three days, no matter how 21 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: enormous they are, because there are so many stories, too 22 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 3: many stories, especially if a celebrity gets killed. Oh yeah, 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 3: apparently government needs to strictly limit how many things happen. 24 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 3: I'm interested in the whole Rob Reiner thing, just you know, 25 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 3: it's interesting, but it's amazing. 26 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: The news coverage. 27 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 3: It's getting last All the newscasts I took in last 28 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: night had the top three stories in the exact opposite 29 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: order of importance to the world. In my mind, yeah, 30 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 3: I would agree, but you know, you know, as you know, 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 3: I was born annoyed and will die annoyed. But I've 32 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 3: tried not to be annoyed by this. I've tried to 33 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 3: understand it. 34 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: What is it? What is it about the average human being? 35 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 3: Because all of us tend to assume that everybody else's 36 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 3: head works more or less like ours, But it's not true. 37 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 3: The longer you live, the more people you know, the 38 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: more experience is you have, the more you know that. 39 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: To be. 40 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 3: Evidently, the fondness for his work, the horror of a 41 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 3: murder within a family, of the feeling of a personal 42 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: connection because you laughed at some of his absolutely wonderful movies, don't. 43 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: I don't quite get it, but I'm working on it. Yeah. 44 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 3: Like you mentioned yesterday during the show, the New York 45 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 3: Post had eight stories going at the same time, and 46 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 3: that's similar today, all on the Rob Reiner thing and 47 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 3: his son. Yeah, the topic of I mean, because this 48 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: is an ongoing problem. This is probably the part of 49 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 3: the whole homeless street person thing, the ongoing conversation about 50 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: what you do with drug addicts that can't or won't 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: get their acts together. 52 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: We that, I mean that that's right there with that family. 53 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. 54 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean, you know, and that really gets 55 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: to the hole. Well, they need rehab. Okay, Well Rob 56 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 3: Reiner's got more money than but Jesus and the kid 57 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 3: went to rehab fifteen times, right, some people. 58 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: Is there an answer to that? I don't know that 59 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: there is, Yeah, other than lock people up. 60 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 3: The pope breaking keep locking them up. If they keep 61 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: breaking the law, keep locking them up. It's probably the 62 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: only hope a guy like that had for the repercussions 63 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: to become so severe that he thought, I can't live 64 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: like this, and and somehow something clicks. 65 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. 66 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 3: It's a tough one, but I mean, I'm thinking about 67 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 3: back to the greater theme, although I'm more than happy 68 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: to talk about that if well, I don't know, if 69 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 3: like Keith Richards's troubled kid killed him, or one of 70 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 3: my musical heroes who had brought me so much joy 71 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: through my life, I would think, oh my god, that's terrible. 72 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: But I wouldn't need to hear unending details about it. 73 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 3: I'd figure that's a family horror, a story of drug addiction, 74 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 3: blah blah blah. But people seem to have a great 75 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 3: thirst for it. I guess I don't know at the 76 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: angle of Trump's unbelievable truth social post. 77 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: Blaming Rob Reiner being stabbed. 78 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 3: To death on his politics, Yeah, yeah, it's horrible. 79 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: It's horrible. It's it's bizarre. I don't know. You can 80 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: go back ten years. 81 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 3: The first one Trump did, the very first time, he 82 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 3: went so far out of bounds of anything anybody'd ever seen, 83 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: and a lot of people thought, oh, okay, well he's done, 84 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 3: and he was the opposite of done obviously, when he 85 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: said about John McCain, I prefer people who don't get captured. 86 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that is so outrageously awful. 87 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 3: I mean that, and you can't really it's yeah, the 88 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: oturgeousness and the stupidity of it, you can't. You can't 89 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 3: really top that. So I feel like I've been in 90 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 3: that zone for a decade now. I mean, that's the 91 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 3: sort of thing the guy's gonna say, Yeah, it's it's inexplicable. Yeah, 92 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 3: it's it's a way to look at life. Man, if 93 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 3: you if you become an enemy of that guy, he 94 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 3: has no uh, there's no gray zone. You were just 95 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: an enemy, no matter what happens to you. Stupid and outrageous, stupid, agous. 96 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 3: A lot of my favorite columnists and politicians, including many 97 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 3: many Republicans and conservatives, condemning harshly the truth social post 98 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 3: from Donald Trump about the killing. 99 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: How could you not? I mean, I don't know what 100 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: do you even say about that? 101 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, his Justice Department is doing heroic work against dewokism, 102 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: for instance, in our corporations, our institutions. It's fantastic, It's wonderful. 103 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 3: People could call it paying the Trump tax. You just 104 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 3: have to put up with his doing crap like that. 105 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: I wish it weren't true, but I wish I had 106 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: a money. I had a minor Twitter spat before I 107 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 3: realized there's no point getting into Twitter spats with people 108 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 3: of you know that whole thing. Yeah, just incredible. Trump 109 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 3: does things that are just outrageously awful. I mean, no 110 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: human beings should do. He said, what kind of a 111 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 3: precedent to that? What sort of a what's the example? 112 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: What sort of example does that set for anyone to 113 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 3: act like that. On the other hand, I still am 114 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: so happy he's president as opposed to Kamala. It's not 115 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: even close. 116 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: It's not even close, which is an indictment of our system, 117 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: or our primary or our immortal souls or something. 118 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. I'm just glad it's 119 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: almost Christmas. The other two big stories that fall behind 120 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 3: the Rob Reiner murder, even though they're more important, the 121 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 3: Brown shooting Brown University, I don't think that's got any 122 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 3: greater significance at all, and it just gets lumped into 123 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 3: the whole angry, crazy people go out and shoot people thing. 124 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: I suspect, so we'll have to see what it was. 125 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: But I would bet you're right. 126 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 3: The thing in Australia is such a big deal. And 127 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 3: like I was listening to NPR today and they're still 128 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 3: making a gun story about what they can do with 129 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 3: the gun laws in Australia. Okay, you can tweak the 130 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 3: gun laws all you want, and we still have rampant 131 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 3: immigration among fundamentalist Muslims who want to change the countries 132 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 3: they're going to. 133 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: That's a pretty big deal. 134 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 3: And in Australia, like Britain, like France, like the United States. 135 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 3: The Jewish people are begging the authorities saying, listen, you 136 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 3: yourself are reporting on this skyrocketing increase in anti Semitic attacks. 137 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: It is building to something horrific. You need to be 138 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: aware of this. You need to be serious about it, you. 139 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 3: Need to condemn it, and you need to look hard 140 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 3: for where it's coming from and what these people are 141 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 3: trying to do. In Australia, they were crying out for 142 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 3: that for months and the authorities were like, we don't 143 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: want to inflame in conflicts here, so we're just going 144 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 3: to solt peddle it. And there's one brilliant, troubling piece 145 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 3: was entitled, now do you believe us? Yeah? And I 146 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: suppose you always got to throw in the caveat because 147 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 3: it's absolutely true, tons and tons and tons of Muslims 148 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: around the world don't believe in killing Jews like that. 149 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 3: The guy that bravely tackled one of the shooters, also 150 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 3: a Muslim from Syria or wherever, tackled the guy and 151 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: pointed the gun in his face. He didn't want to 152 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 3: kill Jews. He's horrified by the whole thing, right, But 153 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: there's a man of hero. But there's enough that do 154 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: want to kill Jews and want to want you to 155 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 3: not get free speech, and want your wife not to 156 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 3: be able to walk around uncovered, and et cetera, et cetera. 157 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 3: There's a lot of people like that. I wish I 158 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: had kept a great piece of thinking. I'm trying to 159 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 3: remember who it even was who was explaining and this 160 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 3: was Gosh post nine to eleven, that the never ending 161 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 3: caveats and disclaimers, and we make them too about you know, 162 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 3: there are plenty of Muslims who are fine folks, and 163 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: we're not talking about them, he said. The moderate Muslim 164 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 3: is irrelevant to the discussion because everybody knows it. And 165 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 3: so let's focus on those who hold the attitudes we're 166 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: talking about. We're talking about Islamists.

I was thinking about that with tech 341 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 3: this morning because I was having trouble with my Tesla, 342 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 3: and like the reason I like Tesla and Apple is 343 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 3: it almost always does what it's supposed to do and 344 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 3: I don't have to like figuring out thing out. I 345 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 3: don't want any tech where I gotta figure something out. 346 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 3: If I have to figure something out, it ain't worth 347 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 3: it to me. I just wanted to work the way 348 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 3: it's supposed to work, and very few tech things do. 349 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: Uh No, Rumbo is that way for me. It's like, Okay, 350 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 3: if I pick up absolutely everything and set everything in 351 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 3: exactly the right spot, it can do its job. 352 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: I ain't gonna do that, So yeah, it's it's. 353 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 3: I haven't used the new new ones and that sort 354 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 3: of technology is just leapt forward. Like I know in 355 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 3: the world the golf automated moors are huge, absolutely huge. 356 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 3: I don't doubt that it'll get there. I'm sure. I'm 357 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 3: absolutely certain it will, but I don't know if it's 358 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 3: there yet. Yeah, rooms with a lot going on, chairs 359 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 3: and toys of everything. 360 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: You got kids and dogs. 361 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 3: It's just I haven't speaking of tech is at best Buy. 362 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 3: I tweeted out a picture this yesterday. I tried on 363 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 3: the latest generation of the ray band glasses that have 364 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 3: the tech in them, although I haven't tried the ones 365 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 3: that have the screen in them yet. You have to 366 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: set up an appointment to do that. They won't let 367 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 3: you just try that out on your own. You have 368 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: to make an appointment and do like a twenty minute 369 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 3: they show you how they work. 370 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: Thing. So there's the glasses we've talked about before. 371 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 3: Our agent uses them all the time, and there's a 372 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 3: new generation out that supposed to be better. You can 373 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 3: answer the phone that, you can listen to music, you 374 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 3: can variety of things with your glasses on, your sunglasses on, 375 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 3: or your eyeglasses on. 376 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: If you get the prescription. 377 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 3: But then there's the new one that's got the got 378 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 3: a little screen in there that people looking at you 379 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 3: can't see. But you can see it's in one of 380 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 3: the lenses, and like you can read your texts, and 381 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 3: you can have directions on there, like if you're walking 382 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 3: down the street, and various things like that. 383 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: It's supposed to be pretty cool. 384 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 3: Based on the reviews that I've seen, they're eight hundred 385 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 3: bucks just kind of pricey. But I'll bet the idea 386 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 3: with these smart glasses is that you won't carry your phone. 387 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 3: It's going to be the getting away from the phone. 388 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 3: You don't carry it anymore. Nobody says we're there yet 389 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 3: on those, but I'll bet that is where we're headed. 390 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 3: You're gonna wear some sort of glasses. You're not going 391 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 3: to carry a phone. It's all gonna be in your glasses. 392 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 3: And that'll be within a couple of years. Yeah, I'm 393 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 3: hoping to leave tech behind and move to the woods. 394 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 3: Like even stuff to make face of old with Walden 395 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 3: Pond and such. 396 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: Even stuff that makes your life easier. 397 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 3: I don't want to if it, like I said, if 398 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: it doesn't work to way it's supposed to work, first try, 399 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 3: I ain't doing it. I don't want harder. I don't 400 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 3: want my life to get more complicated. I don't want 401 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 3: to get into a manual. I don't have to be 402 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 3: on the line. 403 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: With the with the it. 404 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 3: It's just got to work immediately, like most Apple stuff does, 405 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 3: like the TESTA stuff does. But but if it makes 406 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 3: your life easier, I'm pro you know. Yeah, I'm not exactly, 407 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 3: but I have the luxury of being in the part 408 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 3: of my life since my kids are grown, of seeking simplicity, 409 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 3: whereas you don't really have that luxury with your kids 410 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 3: and their lives and the rest of it. 411 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: So I know, your life is pretty simple. 412 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 3: If you're sitting there with your glasses on and a 413 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 3: text comes in and you tap your fingers together and say, 414 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 3: and you just read it, then you respond to it, 415 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 3: don't have to get out your phone, don't have to 416 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 3: do anything. 417 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: It seems pretty simple. You're dancing to the tune of 418 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: your screen. 419 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 3: Yeah wow. Are you going to give it out texting? 420 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 3: Are you going to go full Walden Pond? No, I'm 421 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 3: just going to give up being plugged in all the time. 422 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 3: I'm going to be doing what I'm doing and not 423 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 3: dividing my attention with technology. But this would be the 424 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 3: same amount of texting you're doing now in an easier 425 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 3: manner without getting in my doing. 426 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: Okay, am I doing a bad job of explaining myself, Katie? 427 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: Do you think or what? No? No, I think you're fine. 428 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 4: I think that the point of trying this, trying to 429 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 4: get you away from your phone is crap because you're 430 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 4: just putting your phone on your face. 431 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 3: Well right, And my point is all of that s 432 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 3: is going to be over there and I'm not going 433 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 3: to be paying any attention to it. 434 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, mountain man, more or less, and you'll be. 435 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 3: I'm absolutely convinced that is the route to better mental 436 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 3: health and happiness. 437 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: Whittling and writing poetry would be the end. 438 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, a poetry about whittling. Yes, the once was a 439 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 3: man who could whittle. 440 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: Right, don't don't get me started. 441 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 3: Let's see spittle George Kittle, little little theos. 442 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'm trying to avoid the obvious. 443 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 3: H oh oh, breaking breaking not exactly news. This is 444 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 3: what everybody's going to be talking about. It just broke 445 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 3: in the New York Times minutes ago. Susie Wiles, the 446 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 3: White House Chief of Staff, evidently sat down for eleven 447 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 3: interviews with either Peter Baker or the New York Times 448 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 3: or him and his team and the quote unquote highlights. 449 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 3: The things she went ahead and said are unfreaking believable 450 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 3: given the fact that she's still in the gig. This 451 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 3: is like they've been out of office two years and 452 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 3: she writes her book, mister Trump has an alcoholics personality. 453 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: Didn't I say that just a week ago? You did? 454 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 3: He's an untreated alcoholic. I've thought that for years. Ah, 455 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 3: could he give the nickel version for folks who because 456 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 3: he doesn't drink, he's never drank, his brother drank himself 457 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 3: to death. Those of us in the world of alcoholism, 458 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 3: most of us don't believe the drinking has very little 459 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,959 Speaker 3: to do with being an alcoholic. It's a it's one 460 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 3: of the many symptoms of being an alcoholic. 461 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: You're either are or you aren't. 462 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 3: And it's got to do with the way your brain works, 463 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 3: in the way you look at the world and your 464 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 3: relationship to it. Fair Enough, Okay, And he and since 465 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 3: he's got since he's got it in his family and 466 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 3: his brother drank himself to death, it makes it fairly 467 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 3: likely he certainly has an obsessive Well, I don't know 468 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 3: how you and I don't know much about that concept, 469 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 3: so I'll let you choose the words, but anyway, so 470 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 3: she said that Vice President J. D. Vans has quote 471 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 3: been a conspiracy theorist for a decade, and his conversion 472 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 3: from Trump critic ally was based not on principle, but 473 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 3: was sort of political because as he's running for the Senate. 474 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 3: Elon Musk is quote an avowed ketamine user who's an odd, 475 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 3: odd duck whose actions were not always rational and left 476 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 3: her aghast Russell t Vaught, the budget director is a 477 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 3: right wing absolute zealot. Attorney General Pam Bondi completely whiffed 478 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 3: in handling the Epstein files, among other quotes. 479 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 1: This is very, very long, but. 480 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 3: This is like when one of those tell all books 481 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 3: comes out and everybody goes to the index immediately to 482 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 3: see if they're mentioned in it, and then Washington goes 483 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 3: wild over it for a couple of. 484 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: Weeks or whatever. So far, she's in the gig right now. 485 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 3: So far those all sound incredibly accurate. Most of them 486 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 3: are negative, except I don't think the one on Elon 487 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 3: is negative. Yes, he's an on duck. I'm glad he's 488 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 3: an on duck. He's doing all kinds of things because 489 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 3: he's a nod duck. Yeah, let's see sheerage mister Trump 490 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 3: not to pardon the most violent riders from jan six, 491 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 3: but which he did. Anyway, I agree with her on 492 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 3: that she unsuccessfully tried to get him to delay his 493 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 3: major tariffs because of huge disagreements among his advisors. She 494 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 3: said the administration needs to quote look harder at deportations 495 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 3: to prevent mistakes. But she did not complain about being overruled, 496 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 3: and at various points she got on board with the 497 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 3: eventual decisions. There have been a couple of times where 498 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 3: I've been out voted, she said. And if there's a tie, 499 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 3: he wins. Sounds like the you know, description of the 500 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 3: job she has.

Lensky 555 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 3: doesn't want to give up some chunks of land. Trump says, look, 556 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 3: they're going to take the land eventually. Anyway, you should 557 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,239 Speaker 3: give it up. I don't know how they're gonna work 558 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 3: that out, But to me, the bigger thing is we're 559 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 3: involved in a security guarantee, like we'll go to war 560 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 3: with Russia. 561 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: If they invade again. We're just gonna have that on 562 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: paper at something that's got to be a Senate ratified treaty, 563 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: doesn't it. 564 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 3: The United States, Ukraine, and Europe have agreed on a 565 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 3: NATO lak. I have no idea. I don't know enough 566 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 3: about that. But many European countries have said they will 567 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 3: put troops in there. 568 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: I don't know that we're going to put troops in there. 569 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 3: But if we're before signed on to some sort of 570 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 3: agreement that if Russia comes back again, we're in Wow. 571 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 3: Where does an agreement end and a treaty begin and 572 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 3: Senate ratification become necessary? 573 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea. 574 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 3: President's Lensky, I'd want to look into that, make sure 575 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 3: it's an agreement that holds. Yeah, agreed, of course we 576 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 3: might be you know, true, the Euros might be saying 577 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 3: we'll throw troops in and we're just saying, yeah, well, absolutely, 578 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 3: give you all the arms and whatever. 579 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: But I suppose it could be. 580 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 3: For instance, France, Germany and Great Britain are going to 581 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 3: have troops in Ukraine, and if they were attacked, I 582 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 3: suppose our NATO guarantee kicks in at that point. Maybe 583 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 3: I mean German NAT lots of NATO troops are being attacked. Yeah, yeah, 584 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 3: well yeah, it's funny. I don't think I printed it, 585 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 3: but one of our beloved listeners, one of you clever folks, said, 586 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 3: NATO just needs to invade Ukraine under some idiotic pretext 587 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 3: with the Zelenski's permission, have troops all over the place 588 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 3: and then say yeah, yeah, we invaded better you did, 589 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 3: it's ours now and wait for. 590 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: The dust to settle. Wow, what an interesting idea. 591 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 3: NATO invades Ukraine, takes Kiev using my finger quotes right, 592 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 3: but lets them just operate as they've been operating. But 593 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 3: and instead of fighting tooth and nail, the Ukrainians would say, yeah, 594 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 3: you need to go to the stop sign and take 595 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 3: a left, and that's where they would help. And Naty 596 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 3: would just say, this is NATO territory, well right, or 597 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 3: our troops are here. Attack on one is an attack 598 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 3: on all, so you got to stop attacking. Wow, I 599 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 3: don't know where this is going. Pretty interesting though. We 600 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 3: got mail bag coming up and lots of stuff stay here. 601 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 3: So raising money for the Scouts this week.

NATO, EU 627 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 3: then refuses to remove whatever military stuff they brought into Ukraine. 628 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: You're a thing.

You're a real hero. 670 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 3: JB and Florida says, I don't know how you can 671 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 3: do what you do day after day, five days a week. 672 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 3: If I get overwhelmed by any of the topics you're discussing, 673 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 3: I can just turn off the radio. But you guys 674 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 3: have to keep trudging through the never ending bad news 675 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 3: from around the world. He goes into the older you get, 676 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 3: the less tolerance you have for the daily drama, and 677 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 3: then he suggests that we just do Monday through Thursday 678 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 3: and have Michael play best of shows on Friday. I'm 679 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 3: sure your listeners would rather have you four days a 680 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 3: week than not at all due to burnout. 681 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: You're a very perceptive person. JB. 682 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 3: That's the old nineteen eighties Johnny Carson schedule that he 683 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 3: did later in his career. I think actually he took 684 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 3: a Monday's end, Fridays off. He worked at the grueling 685 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 3: three day work week. Yeah, I don't mind telling people. 686 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 3: I lobbied that this contract that we're working on right now, 687 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 3: we do a three hour show and not a four 688 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 3: hour show. It's a lot, and burnout is not a well, 689 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 3: it's a real thing. But I was persuaded we don't 690 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 3: have to talk about all the nastiness of the world 691 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 3: though nobody makes sense. 692 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: No, no, it's just no. 693 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 3: It's well. As David Letterman said many many, many years ago, 694 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 3: and it made an impression on both of us. He 695 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,919 Speaker 3: set I've been doing this for fourteen years. You can 696 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 3: do that math. And I still feel like there's a 697 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 3: page of the directions missing. Anyway I can relate. We 698 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 3: don't have time for this. But Tom, who was a 699 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 3: National Guardsman, was extremely offended by our conversation about the 700 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 3: National guard. I think there may have been a bit 701 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 3: of a misinterpretation. 702 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 1: Tom. 703 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 3: What we were trying to say is we don't think 704 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 3: most people think of the National Guard in terms of 705 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:43,879 Speaker 3: foreign deployment. 706 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,919 Speaker 1: Well, my brother was in the Guard for years. 707 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 3: Tell me what the guy was angry about, because I'm 708 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,439 Speaker 3: more than willing to stand up for the Guard, having 709 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 3: had a family member who did it for a long time. Yeah, 710 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 3: and we don't have time in thirty seconds to lay 711 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 3: it out then respond. 712 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: To it, but we can. We absolutely can because it's 713 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: a good topic. Let's see. 714 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 3: And then Mike from Petaluma, interviewing a bunch of folks 715 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 3: for the company Company hiring manager Season Eagle Scout says, Oh, interesting, 716 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 3: guy got the job. Tell your boys this story for 717 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 3: what it's worth. Yeah, that's a good one. We are 718 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 3: raising money for scouting. We'll explain that in hour two. 719 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 3: If you don't get our two or miss a second, 720 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 3: get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. 721 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: It's easy to find 722 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty.
