WEBVTT - The Smell Of Algebra... Ugh! 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:07.920 Washington Broadcast. 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:11.719 Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty and 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:17.840 no Hee Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.040 I got a report from the USDR last night that 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:28.200 more than fifty countries have reached out to the President 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.160 to begin a negotiation. But they're doing that because they 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.680 understand that they bear a lot of the tariff. And 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:35.559 so I don't think that you're going to see a 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.479 big effect on the consumer in the US, because I 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:40.879 do think that the reason why we have a persistent 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.240 long run trade deficit is these people have very inelastic supply. 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.519 They've been dumping goods into the country in order to 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:47.880 create job, say in China. 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.239 One of the many Trump people that went on the 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.200 Sunday talk shows yesterday to it try to explain why 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.600 this isn't as bad as it might look, or the 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.320 long term plan, et cetera, et cetera. 0:00:58.360 --> 0:00:58.920 I do know this. 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.440 When we came on the air today, I took a 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.520 look at the old Dow just as the uh, you know, 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.920 kind of a national meter avowed the mood or whatever, 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.360 and it was down I think sixteen hundred. Now like 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.160 a minute ago it was down one hundred, so I 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:17.200 don't know, you know, what's going on there. I wonder 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.640 if did somebody make a phone call and say, hey, look, 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.520 we're going to end this in like a week, so 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:22.280 don't freak out. 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.199 I don't know. I wonder if somebody whispered something. 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:26.840 Let's see what happened where it is at the end 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:30.040 of the day though, because it was a very rough 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:31.440 start very early on. 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:33.000 Yeah, the S and P. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.160 While the nastac's actually up a little bit. The S 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.400 and P is down about a quarter a point having 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:39.680 rebounded so well. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.360 But imagine if at the end of the day the 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.160 Dow ends up flatter up, what are the talking points 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.720 going to be from the tariff haters at that point. 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:56.200 One other thing, though, the Trump guy there saying people 0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:00.400 in America haven't seen any of these prices yet. One 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.960 of my favorite commentators, who's a straight shooter, over the 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:07.120 weekend said they he the way he does his Amazon 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.680 basket is he regularly put stuff in the basket and 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.520 like he'll get to buying it later. And he had 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.480 ten things in his basket from like a week or 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.160 so ago, and then over the weekend, all ten of 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:21.240 them had gone up various amounts in price. Wow, which 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.440 was surprising to me. I haven't been keeping an eye 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.600 on it that closely. I don't know if you're feeling 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.160 any of this or not. Do you put stuff in 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.839 the basket then buy it all at once? I don't 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.120 either click any click when I need it, because otherwise 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.600 I'd forget, I would think. But that's not the operative 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:38.480 question here, Katie. 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.960 Oh, My save for a later list is embarrassingly long. 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.320 Oh really? Oh yeah, Because I'll see. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.920 Something I'm like, oh, that's cool, and I'll put it 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:48.240 in there, and then I checked the other day. 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.720 And I'm like, wow, I need to stop yesterday. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.200 Do you ever look at it and think what was 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.600 I thinking when I put that in the basket? 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:58.799 All the time. There's a couple of tequila ideas in there. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.840 I'm like, oh, yeah, golf clubs. I'm not going to 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:02.400 play golf. 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.359 What's a tequila idea? I'm going to drink some. That's 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:07.600 the only idea I've ever read. 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.720 Where I've had some tequila and I think things are 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:10.280 a good idea. 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.440 And then later and I'm like, ah, drunk purchases. 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.400 Yeah, well, hey, at least I put them in the 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:17.000 basket and I. 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.560 Don't make them right yeah, man, if I if I 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:20.320 still all right? 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.280 Yeah, my wife is texting me right now, don't bother, honey. 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.600 I know if I still drink, i'd want a breathalyzer 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.959 attached to my Amazon account. You got to blow into 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:30.840 it before I can put anything in the cart. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:32.360 That is such a good idea. 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.520 Well, that's been proposed for your phone too, so you 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.520 don't you know, booty call your ex and advisedly and 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:38.240 that sort of thing. 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:43.600 Drunk texting in general. Right, oh oh so uh. 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:48.400 Much more importantly, perhaps a couple of our favorite historians 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.320 and thinkers, Neil Ferguson it looks like Nile. It's Neil, 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:56.880 he's a skulk, and Victor Davis Hanson taking something like 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.760 opposite sides on whether this Trump tariff thing is a 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.440 good idea or not. Here's the difficulty for us and 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:09.200 everybody on this. Nobody's really quite sure if Trump is 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:15.560 seriously going long term isolationist because he gives he certainly 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.360 says he is at times, or if that's just a posturing, 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:23.720 a posture, a bargaining position in order to truly get 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:28.160 more reciprocal lower tariffs in place to help US exports. 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.279 Now that's the goal. It's hard to argue against. Honestly, 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:36.839 I mean and honestly, Neil Ferguson and VDH would probably 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.360 agree with each other. But I'll just give you a 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.599 little of their thinking. This is Neil Ferguson. Depending on 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.320 your worldview, you probably think Trump's tariff blitz is one 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.039 of two things. Either, a committed protectionist is trying to 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.679 make America great again by killing globalism, ending forever wars, 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:57.000 and bringing manufacturing jobs to the US. Alternatively, an unhinged 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.799 demagogue is crashing both the world economy and the liberal 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:06.159 national order, mainly to the advantage of authoritarian regimes, mostly China. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:07.679 Here's what is actually happening. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.920 The American Empire that came into existence after the chaos 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.640 of the thirties is being broken up after eighty years. 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:19.799 Despite Trump's imperial impulses Greenland to Canada, Panama. He's engaged 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:25.000 right now in a kind of wild decolonization project. Like 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.279 the post nineteen forty five British labor governments. He wants 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.920 to shelter domestic manufacturing in the working class behind tariffs 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.520 while reducing overseas commitments, but the net result will be 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.599 both economically damaging and geopolitically weakening. Americans will come to 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.360 miss globalism and policing the world. They will belatedly realize 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.440 that there is no portal through which the US can 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.719 return to the nineteen fifties, much less than nineteen hundreds. 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.120 And the principal beneficiary of this project will not be 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:53.119 Russia but China. 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:54.039 Yeah. 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:55.719 I don't know about the globalism part. 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.280 I do think will come to miss policing the world, 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.040 which I didn't believe your. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:05.880 Go why briefly if you'd like. I think we just. 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.560 Benefited so much from being the one that calls the shots, 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.080 way more than we realize. And when we think, when 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.440 we think, oh, we need to stop you know this, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.080 who's with me? And they all say, we're not really 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:18.359 with you. 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:19.680 Yeah. 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:26.520 Anybody who's ever gone from CEO to vice president of 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.800 something or other and exactly actually like fifth on the 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.839 flow chart will tell you that it's a hell of 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.880 a lot better to be the CEO in a lot 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:36.279 of ways. 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.359 And we're the CEO of the world for a long time. 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:42.200 Anyway, that says cool, You might be right, but we 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.080 just can't afford to do it anymore. 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:45.280 You might be right. 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.960 It's certainly an argument worth discussing. Yeah, we can't, you know, 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.640 run the treasury dry, although the way we slather money 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.000 around on domestic stuff, that's what's killing the treasury anyway. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.200 It's a very very long piece, Neil Ferguson wrote, it's 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:04.159 just the very like introduction touch on it. Victor Davis Hanson, 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.880 on the other hand, who has in recent days been 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.080 fairly critical of Trump at times when he thinks it's appropriate. 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:14.080 VDH is very much an independent thinker. He frequently agrees 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.720 with Trump. He says, what is the logic behind the 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.520 Trump tariffs? Why are they incurring such infactive Why is 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.720 he willing to take such political risks in a fashion 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.040 that no prior Republican administration had dared? 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.560 Let me explain, He. 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.840 Says, the US has not run a trade surplus since 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.920 nineteen seventy five, which is, to my horror, half a 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.360 century ago. America is now nearing a one trillion dollar 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.160 annual trade deficit with an ossified trade policy unchanged from 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.160 a bygone era. This is something I brought up many times. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.400 But after World War Two, the US was the only 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.760 major industrial power that emerged from the war not just 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.000 intact and capable of settling its wartime deficits and debts, 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:54.520 but also far stronger, both relatively and absolutely than when 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.960 it had entered the war. In December nineteen forty one, 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.880 recovering Europe and Asian needed massive inputs of goods and services. 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:04.480 They were on their knees, right, yeah, I did, and 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.960 so we went there. We let them go ahead and 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.520 erect some tariffs so they could raise some money and 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.000 also so they could get their industries up and running, 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.160 because we would have just crushed them competitively for a 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:15.760 long time. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:20.040 Pointing to various statistics from the early fifties right after 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.400 World War Two and using those as the standard we 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:27.080 need to get back to is just not helpful. It's 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.320 it's using your honeymoon as the standard for the happiness 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:31.920 of your relationship. 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.960 Right thirty years into your marriage. Yeah, it's just wildly unrealistic. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.120 The world was decimated except for US, so, yeah, the 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:45.040 numbers were crazy, and then quite intelligently the US. And 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.720 I'm really summering summarizing once again vdh's point of view. 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.960 You know, we can post the link to these you 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.000 may get paywalled I love the free press. They put 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.080 out a lot of great stuff. Maybe you want to subscribe. 0:08:55.760 --> 0:09:02.760 But he points out that the idea ida of helping 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.560 all of these countries back on their feet so they 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.240 would become thriving economies on their own and then become 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:12.400 our customers was a very good idea, and it was 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.800 very very successful, witness the rise in the standard of 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.600 living of Americans over the last seventy five eighty years. 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.760 But that it's, as he said, earlier policies of a 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.280 bygone era you want to talk about. You can't return 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:32.560 to nineteen fifty. Well, the tariffs of nineteen fifty or 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.200 seventy or eighty shouldn't be the tariffs of today either, 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.800 especially when you look at Asia they've gone from. And 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.800 this is, you know, an overly broad characterization. But squatting 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.720 in huts, as Jack often says in China to an 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.679 economic superpower in the last fifty years. 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.760 That's not very inaccurate. That's a perfectly reasonable as summary. 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:59.200 Oh yes, subsistence farming has turned into just cities of 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.480 unimaginable size and wealth. And I think it's all going 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.120 to collapse before too long because comings doesn't work, and 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.680 they have terrible, terrible problems. But anyway, yeah, we need 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:09.719 a restructuring. 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:13.560 Well. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.280 On the other hand, and if EDH is right about 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:20.120 all this, that's fine. If it's actually a long term 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:24.760 isolationist policy high tariffs all the time will make everything 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.000 in the US, that's never going to work. 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:28.720 I just don't think it can work. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.599 It sucks if you're planning to retire. Your date for 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.120 retiring was April fifth, as when I plan to retire, 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.080 start pulling because you're not pulling all your money out 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.320 of your forum one kay, and the day you retire obviously. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.960 Anyways, no, no ah. So a word from our friends 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.560 at prize Picks. It's the best place to get real 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.520 money sports action.

You see the sketch of the 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:03.240 first play. 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:07.719 I thought that was so clever. I have none of 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.600 it ever. Play You should watch that one. It's pretty funny. 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.480 Yeah, it's just the idea that people are sitting there 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:14.800 and They don't have any idea what's going on. 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:15.920 They don't know what a play is. 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.720 This is like ancient Greek or something like that, and 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.559 people are out there doing their things. 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.640 Like, Hey, Jim, how are you doing. You're not supposed 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:23.160 to talk to them. 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:28.840 Why my name is mar No, you're not, You're Jim. 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.640 You're my neighbor. Why are you acting like this? That's funny. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.840 If you've never seen a play before, you would be 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:39.840 very confused. But I want to talk about the Minecraft movie, 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:44.720 which my son saw, and I definitely want to do this. 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.320 I think Joe's absolutely going to agree with this. What 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.480 Michelle Obama is said about their marriage, clearing up some 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.920 of the whispers that have been out there about the 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:54.920 Obama marriage. 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:59.520 She is a man, as it turns out. Oh my god, wow, 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.679 I pulled him over there, folks. He didn't see that. 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.640 I'm coming right to the bread basket. I've seen the 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.760 videos where they slow it down and you can see, oh, 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:07.640 stop it now, he's doing it. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:11.600 Okay, stay with us on the way. 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.800 Betty web But, one of the last surviving World War 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.559 two codebreakers, has died at the age of one hundred 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:23.760 and one. Web first deciphered Nazi communications after Hitler accidentally 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.199 added her to a group chat. 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:31.360 Okay, fair enough. 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:35.960 Got a couple of things about marriages here, which I 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.240 think very interesting. First, this one, this is not good. 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:45.000 A married Alabama high school lunch lady had been bringing 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:49.440 a teen student home for sex. So she's forty one. 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:54.280 She looks like every single one of these women who 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.400 have sex with high school students. Why they all look 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.440 exactly alike and are like above average cute? I don't know, 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.319 or kind of know. I guess they're reliving their popular 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:04.760 years or whatever well going on. 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:09.120 And they feel their beauty and their sexual power fading anyway, 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:10.520 so they want to exercise. 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.520 Two things on this I thought were kind of interesting. 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.600 One the fact that she was Nobody ever talks about 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.680 the poor husband. I mean, your wife cheats on you. Brutal, 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.760 absolutely brutal, no matter what. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.880 High school kid. Oh now we're in home. Now we're 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:32.680 but at. 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:36.880 Your own home. Oh my god, that's rough. I don't 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.080 know if you can survive that. By the way, they're 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:39.920 in Alabama. 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.120 First of all, honey, why do the sheet smell of 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:43.840 axe body spray. 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:55.320 Or or algebra? The smell of algebra she's a lunch lady. 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.240 There's two things here. There's two mitigating things here. One 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:02.000 she's not she's a lunch lady, not a feature. And 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.200 two the kid is thought to be a junior age 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.600 of consent in Alabama's sixteen so she may not have 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.520 broken any law. And she's the lunchuity. So does she 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:12.080 have to go? 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:18.720 You can't use schools as like sex hookups for anybody 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.240 in any circumstance if it's a students. 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.200 And all she's doing is putting out the schlop on the. 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:32.040 Tradition out more than schlop dishing out love. Anyway, Ah, yeah, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.480 I just know you can't. You can't run it as 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.360 your own personal law hook up. 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.480 And then there so there's been a lot of talk 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.840 about the Obama's marriage for some reason, I guess because 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:45.040 she didn't go to the funeral. Barack went alone and 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:46.880 there was like some other thing that. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.160 The Carter funeral. 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.160 Yeah, there's some other thing that they didn't show up 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:51.840 together at. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:56.680 And then people like auguration, right inauguration. 0:15:56.240 --> 0:16:01.040 That's it, and and then the pictures of him with 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.680 Jennifer Aniston. I don't know, but anyway, she said this, 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:10.200 she's got a podcast. Michelle Obama has a podcast, and 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.880 Barack Obama actually said this himself. He said, let me 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.600 just say this about marriage. It sure helps to be 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.600 out of the White House and have a little more 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:20.480 time with her. He said, she has been very forgiving 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.160 for those years where I was in the White House 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.600 and I was so you know, occupied, which I'm sure 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:25.080 is true. 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:26.040 Oh yeah. 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.640 She revealed in her podcast that there was a period 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.360 of time where she couldn't stand her husband. She said, 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:35.800 for a solid decade when their daughters were young, were little. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.840 It was very difficult. And then she talked about how 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.000 marriage is never fifty to fifty. There were times when 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.080 it was like seventy thirty him and then sixty forty meters. 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.720 Anyway, the only reason I was going to bring it 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:47.240 up is. 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.520 Like everybody I know, all my old friends have been 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.160 married forever, but they they all, they all point to 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.920 difficult times, like long periods of difficult times they went 0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:59.720 through in their marriages and they're still together. And I 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.520 just wish more people knew that the people that you 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:05.439 hit it mad time clearly got to blow it up. 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.359 Clearly got to blow it up. We don't. It just 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:07.960 doesn't work. 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.960 As opposed to it'll come back and just you know, yeah, 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.840 that's absolutely true. I'd love to see more more Hallmark 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:16.880 movies about that. 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:18.600 Oh, that's what they should do. 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.800 There should be more rom coms where you go through 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.320 a patch often when it is raising the kids, where 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.760 it's difficult and you know, there's no spark and everything 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.600 like that, and it seems like drudgery in a job, 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:31.960 and then it comes back. 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.360 That's what all the work and none of the fun 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.760 stuff for a while. That's what the Hallmark movies should 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:42.160 be about. That's a good one right there. Yeah, yeah, 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.760 I would definitely say hang in there. I have many 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:46.520 more thoughts on the topic, but we're up against a 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.760 heard break. She should get back to that. It might 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.119 be the most important topic of the day. Or we 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.080 can talk about tariffs. Tariffs is much more important. Trade 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:56.040 war jumps trade war. 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.800 Imagine when the kids were young and your husband's president 0:17:58.840 --> 0:17:59.679 of the United States. 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:04.439 It's a pretty one sided affair. I'm guessing. Oh yeah, 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.320 please your roommates at best. 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.600 Yeah, how difficult was that? If you missed a segment 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.880 of the podcast I'm Strong and Getty on demand. 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:14.880 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:21.000 We're introducing the new Tesla muggel V, the first electric 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:27.840 car in history to be fully self vandalizing, with features 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:35.399 like self smashing headlights, self slashing tires, and AI powered graffiti. 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:42.119 You can choose from penises or swastikas. 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.160 You know, well, my favorites. 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.320 Swastikas made out of penises. 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:53.520 Wow, swastikas the penises.

And 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.480 somebody gets the idea, by golly, he might be critical 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:31.879 of us, And this is how it sounded. 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.840 He's anti Trump and anti Elon.
