WEBVTT - A Very Impressive 'Stache!  

0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty arms Strong

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:12.719
<v Speaker 1>and Gatty.

0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I know he.

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Yetty.

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Is very much intent. They want very much to make

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 2>a deal. So far, they haven't gotten that. We're not

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 2>satisfied with it, but now we will be.

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 3>We will be either that or we'll have to just

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:36.880
<v Speaker 3>finish the job.

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 2>But the navy is gone, as they've said a thousand times,

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 2>the navy is gone, their air force is gone. Everything's gone.

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 2>And they're negotiating on fumes. So we'll see what happens.

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we have to go back and finish it, maybe

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 2>we don't.

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 4>I hope they are negotiating on fumes. I hope the

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Trump's right. I hope the Wall Street Journal is right

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 4>about how bad the economic situation is in Iran right now,

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 4>and that they cave it so point and realize we can't,

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 4>we can't, we can't hold out any longer.

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I hope that happens.

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 4>I did hear somebody make the point though about the

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 4>Iranian navy, which I hadn't thought about, because they hexast

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 4>mentions that a lot. Trump mentions us look, their navy

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.559
<v Speaker 4>is at the bottom of the sea. Who was ever

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 4>thinking about the Iranian navy prior to this war as

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 4>a threat to the world. I mean, it wasn't exactly,

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, I wasn't.

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 5>I've been hearing about those little what do they call them,

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 5>the fast boats, the whatever they've got that. But you know,

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 5>say you got a bunch of you know, reasonably powerful

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 5>motor boats and guys with guns on them, how many

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 5>of those could we mobilize if we needed to? Well?

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 4>Right, and the crisis over the many decades I've been

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 4>following Iran has never been really the focus has never

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 4>been the Iranian navy. But right since we sunk it,

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 4>we always mentioned how devastated their navy is. I'm still

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 4>in favor of what we've done so far, but could

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 4>change my mind if it doesn't, if we don't get

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 4>the right result.

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Here's a little more of.

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 4>Trump yesterday from the Cabinet meeting.

0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 3>Nobody's going to.

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Control this internationals and Oman will behave just like everybody

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 2>else that will have to blow them up.

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 3>They understand that they'll be fine.

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 4>So that was all the report that came out yesterday

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 4>that Iran has presented a deal in which they and

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 4>Oman will control the Strait if we end the blockade,

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 4>and Trump saying, well, we'll bomble nobody's controlling the Straight

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 4>and will bomblemn if they try.

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 5>To Oman an ally and friend of ours will blow

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 5>them up.

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>And they know that. Oh boy, oh spicy.

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 4>And here's another one from the cabinet meeting.

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 3>And one of the.

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Things that will happen is the Straight will open immediately, immediately.

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 3>But it's got to be perfect. I'm not going to

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 3>do this. I didn't do this to get that Crummey agreement.

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 2>The worst agreement ever signed was by Barakhusain Obama.

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.239
<v Speaker 3>What a horrible agreement that was. That is a setback

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 3>for this country, for the whole world. The Middle East

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 3>would have blown itself up.

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 4>No, so the panels on CNN and MSNBC and a

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 4>certain amount of mainstream media are all about what Trump's

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 4>gonna get as an agreement that's really no better, maybe

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 4>even weaker than the Obama JCPO blah blah blah blah blah.

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 4>You know, we don't know what the agreement is yet,

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:18.799
<v Speaker 4>so I know this is crazy. Am reserving comment until

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 4>the agreement comes out.

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:22.959
<v Speaker 1>You'd be bad at cable news.

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 4>I would be bad at cable news because they go

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.399
<v Speaker 4>to me and say, I don't have any comment, because

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't have any idea what the agreement is.

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, from the roundtable, we're here to talk

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>about what a bad.

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 4>Decision this was for Trump to go to war, because

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 4>look at this horrible agreement.

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.119
<v Speaker 1>We don't know what the agreement is yet.

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 4>If it's a horrible agreement, I am happy to be

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 4>first in line to say it was a horrible agreement

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 4>because I think Iran getting a nuclear weapon would be well,

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 4>we said last hour, maybe the worst thing that's ever

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 4>happened to the world could good be definitely end up

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 4>being that. I think Trump believes that too. I don't

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 4>think he's going to make any agreement that allows Iran

0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 4>to get a nuclear weapon anytime soon.

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I hope that's true.

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 5>He has been extremely consistent on that point, and he's

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 5>not consistent.

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Done much. No, no, he is not.

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 4>Okay, here's something that MSNBC put together to bash Trump,

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 4>but we thought it was kind of entertaining and at

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 4>least an interesting glimpse into the Trump government. So this

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 4>is edited in such a way that you know, I

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 4>don't know how many hours they met yesterday. These comments

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 4>were probably spread out over many hours, but it would

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 4>seem that in the cabinet media, it would seem that

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 4>in the cabinet meeting there where Trump is surrounded by

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 4>all his secretaries, that they feel they need to flatter

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 4>him at some point during the meeting. Here's a montage

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 4>of that.

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 5>The fact that we have dedicated presidential leadership is really

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 5>what's made as possible.

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 1>That speaks to the strength of your leadership. It has

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>never been a better time to be an American.

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 6>Just a reminder of another war you helped settle, mister President.

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 3>It's exciting to see how your vision for leading us

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 3>to the greatest economy that the world has ever known.

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 6>And that's why they tell you to tell me to

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 6>tell you, mister president, thank you and they love you.

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.599
<v Speaker 3>Just like you talked about with the reflecting pool, we

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 3>didn't do the.

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 7>Same old thing the way we've done in the past,

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 7>after you know, Iraq and Afghanistan, the way we waged wars.

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Instead, you said we're going to do this smart.

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 4>I particularly thought Marco Rubio saying and not to mention

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 4>another war you settled in bringing up Oh.

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 5>God, yeah, who's the gal there? Ice Barbie's gone, Pam

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 5>Bondi is gone. Don't recognize her either.

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.039
<v Speaker 4>She's saying that her constituents just I just want to

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 4>jump in and say, my constituents tell me I need

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 4>to remind you that they love you.

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:53.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I was actually looking at a new poll out

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 5>fifty four percent of white voters without a college degree

0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 5>now disapprove of Trump's performance see Yes News poll this month,

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 5>up from thirty two percent in February. That's a twenty

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.599
<v Speaker 5>two percent drop and forty five percent in February of

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 5>this year.

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>So it's heading down, down, down.

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.720
<v Speaker 4>So much of that, I think those around the price.

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 5>Of gas and groceries and other inflation in general.

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, with the.

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 4>Caveat that, the administration has not done a good job

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 4>of a explain or asking for you to stand up

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 4>there and ask and say, I'm asking that you.

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Go through some pain.

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 4>I realize this is going to be painful and gas

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 4>is high, and it's you're gonna have to make life

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 4>adjustments to deal with it.

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>But here's why it's worth it. They haven't done that.

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 4>But man disapproving of this war because of the price

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 4>of gas makes no sense to me.

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.280
<v Speaker 5>Right right, because and again a lot of the faults

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 5>with the White House for not framing this correctly.

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 4>But do you want expensive gas Iran with a nuclear

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 4>weapon getting to threaten all kinds of different things, or

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 4>starting a nuclear holocaust, which obviously would make things very.

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Expensive, right right? Yeah, absolutely true.

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 5>And the fact that that's not constantly part of the

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 5>the discussion is the fault of a media and to

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 5>some extent and also.

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Just the White House.

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 5>The other thing is and and people don't like to

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 5>talk about this, but we might as well. That's what

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:26.679
<v Speaker 5>we do here, say uncomfortable things. There is an idea

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 5>among a lot of Trump voters, I don't know how many,

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 5>but a pretty fair number that when he said we

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't get entangled in forever wars or you know, never

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 5>ending conflicts like Afghanistan, some people went a little farther

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 5>than that and said, we're gonna get out of these

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 5>foreign wars. As if the greatest superpower in the history

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 5>of the world, which has managed the modern system of

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 5>free navigation of the seas and relative peace and stability

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 5>in Europe, for instance, and on and on and on.

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 5>The idea that we could just stop doing that is

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 5>that's the sort of thing an unsophisticated voter might think,

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 5>because if we did that, there would be near instantaneous chaos, warfare,

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 5>unbelievable economic disruptions.

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 1>It would be a nightmare.

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 5>The very people who think Trump could have done that

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 5>would be affected the most severely and the most quickly.

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 5>That's part of what's happening here too. I have heard

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 5>it many many times somebody sincere but again, I'll just

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 5>use the term unsophisticated, saying Trump said he was going

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.439
<v Speaker 5>to get us out of these foreign wars, and now look,

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 5>and then somebody comes to them and says, yeah, it's

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 5>because the Jews control him, and then yeah, God, then

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 5>you go down that road.

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 4>Iran with a nuclear weapon would be incredibly.

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Disruptive to the world. Oh man, starting with this is

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of funny. I don't know if I've heard anybody

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>make this.

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 4>Point on me, Like the first thing they might do

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 4>before they even get around to flexing there, we have

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 4>a nuclear bomb. Muscles is we now control the straight

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 4>of horm moose. Step one, so this high gas price

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 4>guaranteed in perpetuity for after they get a nuclear weapon.

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 4>Luckily we can pump our own gas, so the world

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 4>has to deal with it. But we could, we could

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 4>come up with enough gas we can. We're energy independent

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 4>if we'd allow ourselves to be, we really really would be.

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 4>But in terms of the straight of horror moose, that'd

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 4>be the first thing around. Does the idea that that's

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.319
<v Speaker 4>a free waterway give me a break?

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 1>We have a nuclear weapon now.

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 5>And we're dead end or extremist religious fanatics. So yeah, yeah,

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 5>well we'll go ahead and nucas back. We don't care.

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 5>We'll be with ala. There's no mutual deterrence. Completely different topic,

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 5>at least for a moment. A word from our friends

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 5>that incognate every spam call you get, every scam text,

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 5>every sketchy email with your name, over and over, day

0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 5>after day, starts the same way. Somebody found you on

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 5>a d at a broker site. All of it's searchable

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 5>and for sale. Everything about you, your name, address, email,

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 5>even the names of your kids. For God's sake, scammers

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 5>don't need to be hackers to get it. They just

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 5>need Google in five minutes.

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.440
<v Speaker 4>But it's against the law for them to keep that

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 4>information on their data service. Well unless somebody forces the issue.

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.080
<v Speaker 4>They just hang on to your information, continue to sell it,

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 4>continue to allow you to get spam calls, emails and

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 4>texts and cognate uses. The law goes to the data

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 4>centers and says, hey, you got to get that information

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 4>on and they keep doing it.

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>You got to get the information off there.

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they contact hundreds of data brokers and legally force

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 5>them to move the info and keep after them.

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Right now, get sixty.

<v Speaker 5>gets sixty percent off.

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 4>So I wasn't ever worried about the hauntavirus really or

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 4>the ebola yet. But there's a new one going around

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 4>that apparently I got rotavirus that I'm a roto virus.

0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.679
<v Speaker 1>I think r O t a virus. Oh it's t

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>A Yeah, interesting, I was misinformed.

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.559
<v Speaker 4>Huh, the rotavirus. I'll tell you about that when it

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 4>come back. Because it's spreading across the country, particularly in

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 4>northern California. I don't know about the rest of the country.

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.559
<v Speaker 4>I know in my town. It's it's bag and that's

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 4>what I had.

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 1>You don't want it. I'd avoid it if you can't.

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 4>Among other things we can tell you about State Tuned Armstrong.

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.559
<v Speaker 8>Today we stand on the threshold of the new beginning.

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.200
<v Speaker 8>Each of you have traveled the unique paths to get here,

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 8>filled with challenges, triumphs, and moments of doubt. Sounds kind

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 8>of cliched, right, sounds like you've heard it before, right,

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:48.079
<v Speaker 8>it's because it's Ai.

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 4>Yes, you don't really want.

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 8>You don't want to hear what AI has to tell

0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 8>you to feel or to think.

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 5>Well, that's a commencement speaker reading an aid, this cliched thing,

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 5>and then he ripped it up in front of the

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 5>grads and they cheered him.

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.439
<v Speaker 1>Right. So there is there just.

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 4>A automatic hostility toward AI among the young.

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 5>I think so, yeah, in the margin measure, because they

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 5>think I'm not going to have a career.

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>What am I gonna do?

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 5>I told the fellows off the air, I'll give you

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 5>the very short version. I was working on a little

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.839
<v Speaker 5>project and I said, I need this information and the

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 5>source that you're getting it from make sure I know that.

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 5>And it said, essentially chat GPT said, Oh, I can

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.840
<v Speaker 5>just do the whole thing for you, I mean, like

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 5>the project, and I was like, yeah, okay, go ahead,

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.360
<v Speaker 5>show me what you got. It was shocking, and I've

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.839
<v Speaker 5>read about this sort of thing before. It was shocking

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 5>how fast and pretty good and complete it was. And

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 5>now I know why there are you know, forty percent

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 5>more books on the market this year than two years ago.

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 5>You just did wind the thing up and it goes

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.720
<v Speaker 5>and if you want to tweak you can, but it's ridiculous.

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 5>So I mean, if you're good at that sort of thing,

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.200
<v Speaker 5>we don't need you anymore. And if you're hearing that

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:13.199
<v Speaker 5>at age twenty two, you're freaked out.

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 1>The politics of that are going to be really interesting.

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I'd say I wasn't feeling I.

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.119
<v Speaker 4>Don't feel great today, but I was feeling really poorly yesterday,

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.079
<v Speaker 4>and I think we nailed down what it was, and

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 4>it's cropping up all around the United States.

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 1>So I just wanted to hit you with it. Wrote

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to a virus, Rota virus.

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 4>It's a stomach thing. One thing people notice is how

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 4>violently fast it can hit.

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:36.559
<v Speaker 1>It says here.

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'd say I went from perfectly fine too miserable

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.719
<v Speaker 4>in like a second, like, what the hell is this?

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it hits you really hard.

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.839
<v Speaker 4>Some adults describe it as much worse than an a

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 4>normal stomach bug because of the combination of vomiting, NonStop diarrhea,

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:50.559
<v Speaker 4>and weakness.

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>That sounds unpleasant.

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I thought all three of those were gonna happen

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 4>to me. And it was a long twenty four hours. Anyway,

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 4>it's traveling across the country, and so if.

0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:00.920
<v Speaker 1>You get hit with that, maybe that's what it is.

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>And it's typically just a day or so, a day

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 1>or two of suffering. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, well of

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 1>the bad part.

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, anyway, So I was really interested in some of

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.839
<v Speaker 4>the information as always that comes along with this. Whenever

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.839
<v Speaker 4>you look up any health problem or whatever, you should

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 4>get medical attention. If you have blood in your.

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Stool or fainting.

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 4>Really really, I'm fainting and bleeding out of various parts

0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 4>of me, I should go.

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Ahead and see a doctor.

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 4>That's good advice, sound advice. Oh you jack have fainting

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 4>and bleeding. But you know what are you gonna do?

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 5>Part of life, right, You're gonna tough it out, That's

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:40.440
<v Speaker 5>what I'm saying.

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Walk it off.

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 4>That's it's like, did I say this on the air?

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 4>I think I did. It's like, because of liability, it's

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 4>really hard to get any good information about anything. And

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 4>so I was at the emergency room and the guy

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 4>basically said with one of my kids, said why you're here,

0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 4>and I said, well, the advice nurse said, I got

0:14:58.720 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 4>to come in.

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 1>He said, let me tell you something.

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 4>In the year twenty twenty six, calling an advice nurse

0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 4>is useless. It's useless because they have to tell you

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 4>to go to the emergency room with anything because they're

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 4>worried about being sued.

0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 1>So there's no point.

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 4>And I thought, well, you're the only person that's told

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 4>me that, but thank you. And at the end of

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 4>our little stay there, I said, I really like your

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 4>style and he said, well, that makes one out of

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 4>ten people I talked to.

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, I want to be friends with this guy. But yeah,

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 1>so all websites are that way too.

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.480
<v Speaker 4>They got every tiny little thing you ask about that.

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 1>You call it.

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, loo's like every time you call the doctor if

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 4>you're suffering from sybillella, call nine one one. All right,

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 4>So we just wasted thirty seconds and I'm not an idiot.

0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 4>I would have called nine one one if I had

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 4>any of those things you just mentioned, right.

0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 1>But because a liability, they have to do that. Yeah,

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 1>so it's hard to.

0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 4>Get any It makes it a lot harder to get

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 4>any good information.

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:54.840
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 5>This is a bit of a tangent, but I was

0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 5>reading more about old Ken Paxton, who's on the primary

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 5>in Texas, Texas after Trump endors damn and not John Cornyn.

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 1>We talked about it. You're probably familiar with it.

0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 5>This guy's whole thing is his firm and his partners

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 5>launch all those lawsuits against candy companies for having deadly

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:20.600
<v Speaker 5>dies in the line and just gigantic settlements over just

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 5>bull crap.

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 1>That's his whole thing. Wow.

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 5>Nice, Yeah, the list is really really discouraging where it's

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 5>around here, So I'd like to hear that.

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 5>Oh, you know, we got to get to how the

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 5>battle for the governor of California has turned into a

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 5>battle over facial hair.

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>That's a serious and important story for sure.

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.000
<v Speaker 4>Katie Porter is gonna grow mustache.

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's see.

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.880
<v Speaker 5>Whereas I can't find it, I'll find it soon any minute.

0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 6>Now.

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 4>Suing candy companies over various ingredients Yeah, that's a for

0:16:56.120 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 4>instance about this all the time, the liability thing, because

0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.639
<v Speaker 4>I was dealing with it over the weekend with a

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.000
<v Speaker 4>with a big scouting event, and there's all kinds of liability.

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Stuff that they have to do.

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.879
<v Speaker 4>That's just so so many forms to feel out and

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 4>this and that because we're worried about getting sued, and

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 4>it's just it's so it so comes up the works

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 4>of anything you try to do or makes it impossible

0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:24.239
<v Speaker 4>to do.

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it's absolutely paralyzing.

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.400
<v Speaker 5>You add to that the various environmental suits and everything

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.880
<v Speaker 5>that are a scam for attorneys. Again, that impede any

0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 5>sort of development.

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.200
<v Speaker 4>You like, if you're a big organization that has any

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.680
<v Speaker 4>kind of pockets at all, let alone Deep you can't

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:39.679
<v Speaker 4>have a bake sale.

0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>You just can't do it.

0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 4>Even though it's like a charming part of Americana, you

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 4>just can't do it because of liability.

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 5>Probably kill somebody with their Yeah there it is, Okay, Sorry,

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 5>we got thirty seconds.

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Michael.

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, let's see, he's in bed with the bar has

0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:02.399
<v Speaker 5>been for years. Uh sued Meta, the Facebook parent, for

0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.720
<v Speaker 5>one point four billion dollars. See and his buddies billed

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 5>ninety seven million dollars for litigating the claim. His partners

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 5>have gone after Tailanol, Colgate for fluoride, and toothpaste, Google, Mars, Candies,

0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:14.240
<v Speaker 5>et cetera.

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I hope he can beat the Democrat, That's what I hope, Yep,

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty. You know.

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 6>So I was up there around the time when legislative

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:28.639
<v Speaker 6>leaders were all, you know, discussing what the options were,

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:30.040
<v Speaker 6>and so I've been thinking a lot about it in

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 6>my fly back, and one thing that I think we're

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.880
<v Speaker 6>gonna try to do with your support is tax one

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 6>hundred percent anyone from California that receives any of those funds.

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 6>We want to tax one hundred percent of those proceeds.

0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 6>And that's an action the state of California can take.

0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:49.160
<v Speaker 6>It's an action we look forward to taking.

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:55.159
<v Speaker 4>Gavin Newsom, who I'm praising lately for fully understanding the

0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 4>moment we're in and being good at taking advantage of it.

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.280
<v Speaker 4>Coming out yesterday that so Trump's got that fund, the

0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:07.760
<v Speaker 4>seventeen seventy six fund one point seven one hundred and

0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 4>seventy six million dollars billion billion, one billion, seven hundred

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:17.920
<v Speaker 4>and seventy six million dollars yes, because he wanted to

0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.920
<v Speaker 4>be seventeen seventy six, which is that makes it worse,

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.639
<v Speaker 4>not better, in terms of trying to make it seem

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:25.840
<v Speaker 4>like it's a legitimate fund that you came up with

0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:31.239
<v Speaker 4>that number, not randomly, to fight back against the way

0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 4>the Biden administration had screwed conservatives during their term. It's

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 4>it's interesting, complicated, nobody's ever seen anything like it before maneuver.

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:47.160
<v Speaker 4>So the concern is, now this gets back to it's

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.800
<v Speaker 4>kind of like what I was talking about, people sitting

0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 4>around and having conversations about how bad the Trump Iran

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:55.119
<v Speaker 4>peace deal is.

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:56.359
<v Speaker 1>When you don't know the details.

0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of how off it'll be, how awful

0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.280
<v Speaker 4>it will be if he gives giant checks to January

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 4>six protesters. But it hasn't happened yet, so until it happens,

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:08.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm not really ready to criticize it.

0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:09.480
<v Speaker 1>If it starts.

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 4>Happening, and then it will be something to talk about,

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:11.480
<v Speaker 4>no doubt about it.

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:12.160
<v Speaker 1>AnyWho.

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 4>Gavin Newsom's idea to come to combat that is, well,

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:19.640
<v Speaker 4>we'll make one hundred percent tax on that. If you're

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.240
<v Speaker 4>a Californian and you storm to the Capitol and Trump

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:23.920
<v Speaker 4>decides to give you a million dollars, we're going to

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:25.960
<v Speaker 4>tax that at one hundred percent, although he.

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:29.120
<v Speaker 5>Said anybody who receives funds, so it could be for anything.

0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:33.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, Yeah, it's ridiculous.

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 4>Isn't that a uh, there's a name for that. Isn't

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 4>it if you have a law that goes after a

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 4>particular like one person's, that's against law. Isn't this practically

0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:44.680
<v Speaker 4>a bill of a tender going after a very.

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:49.440
<v Speaker 5>Specific well to confiscate the entirety of someone's income because

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:53.679
<v Speaker 5>you don't like the sources? Hilariously impossible to him? Anyway,

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:55.840
<v Speaker 5>It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.200
<v Speaker 4>If it would work, be workable or not. Getting back

0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.480
<v Speaker 4>to Gavin Newsom understands the home we're in. It just

0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:04.920
<v Speaker 4>does to sound good and clever and like you're fighting

0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 4>and said.

0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.159
<v Speaker 1>That guy's on my side. Where do I send money?

0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:12.440
<v Speaker 1>That's all you valuable? Yes, that's what it is. Yeah,

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.200
<v Speaker 1>look out, why anti Trump? I am? I'm gonna confiscate

0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:19.120
<v Speaker 1>every time? Look at him? He's anti Trump? Yeah, boy,

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, but.

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:21.840
<v Speaker 4>He's not gonna be governor for long. And it all

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 4>depends on what kind of facial hair you have According

0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 4>to Joe, Well, it's certainly a factor shack. For the

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:29.440
<v Speaker 4>first time since the Great Depression, the state of cal

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Unicornia could elect a governor with facial hair. And if

0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.760
<v Speaker 4>this sounds stupid to you, congratulations it is.

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 1>You read that perfectly. It is stupid.

0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:45.520
<v Speaker 5>Apparently the whiskers are playing an outsized role in the election.

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:49.160
<v Speaker 5>According to Zusha Ellenson, I wish my name was Zusha

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 5>uh Man. Woman doesn't matter anyway. Fans of Chad Bionco,

0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.600
<v Speaker 5>who is a top Republican candidate, a very serious man,

0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 5>a law man. I like a lot of his attitude,

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:05.200
<v Speaker 5>UDEs and then policies, but fans readily admit that his

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 5>thick salt and pepper cop mustache is a major draw.

0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:12.399
<v Speaker 5>One man named Charlie you had driven ninety minutes to

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:15.200
<v Speaker 5>a Pedaloma gun store to see Bianco, said, I think

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 5>it shows strength. So he think is a really good

0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:26.320
<v Speaker 5>mustache quote unquote shows strength. Come on, it shows he's

0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 5>got a good facial hair or he hates shaving. So

0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:33.560
<v Speaker 5>Hilton winning as governor would be our first governor with

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:39.560
<v Speaker 5>a beard since eighteen Any facial hair, any facial hair.

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:43.679
<v Speaker 5>Chad Bianco too, Now enough.

0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:45.920
<v Speaker 4>Of beard I'm okay with. I don't know if I

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:48.480
<v Speaker 4>could vote for a guy who's just got the porn stash.

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:52.240
<v Speaker 5>Well, he's got a copstash, he's got a great mustache.

0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean just I mean you're a racist.

0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean talking about them, I mean just in general,

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:00.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm okay with bearded president and governors.

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, just the mustache I'm talking about, Chad Bianco.

0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:06.680
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what I'm saying. I know you are.

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying in general, Oh, I can see us having

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:13.119
<v Speaker 4>a bearded president or governor, But I just don't know

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:16.440
<v Speaker 4>if I can see us having a mustache ode only governor.

0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:20.119
<v Speaker 4>You got the Burt Reynolds mustache. That doesn't look like governor.

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 5>Now that I know exactly what you're saying, that's effing ridiculous.

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.000
<v Speaker 4>What you'd vote for a guy with the Burt Reynolds mustache,

0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:31.159
<v Speaker 4>the right guy with the right policies.

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:34.080
<v Speaker 5>I might secretly hope he'd grow a beard to match it,

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:39.720
<v Speaker 5>but all he's speaking of beards with a full beard,

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:41.680
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god.

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Not to be outgrown.

0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:48.080
<v Speaker 5>Bianco's GOP rival, Steve Hilton sprouted a salt and pepper

0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:52.879
<v Speaker 5>beard that his supporters gushing uh. Donald Trump, for instance,

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:56.479
<v Speaker 5>hailed it as a maga beard, but Bianco and his

0:23:56.640 --> 0:24:00.840
<v Speaker 5>backers aren't impressed. They questioned Hilton's motives for growing the beard.

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:03.720
<v Speaker 5>You gotta be kidding me, and says all it does

0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:08.120
<v Speaker 5>is expose his deficiencies in comparison to Bianco's lush upper lip.

0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Is that what he was calling it?

0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 5>Charlie said of Hilton's beard, I thought he'd been on

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:13.360
<v Speaker 5>the road and hadn't shaved.

0:24:13.520 --> 0:24:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:18.679
<v Speaker 4>They questioned his motives behind having a beard. Is one

0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:20.760
<v Speaker 4>of the dumbest sentences I've ever heard.

0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:25.880
<v Speaker 5>Zorn Mumdani, a Democratic socialist, who said his beard began

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:30.240
<v Speaker 5>as a symbolic middle finger to stereotypes of Muslims as terrorists.

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:34.480
<v Speaker 5>Ah see, I think you support terrorists. Zorn as the

0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:36.440
<v Speaker 5>first New York City mayor with a beard in over

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:40.639
<v Speaker 5>a century. Pete boot Edge Edge is spouting a new beard,

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 5>sporting a new beard that the online publication Queerity declared

0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:51.400
<v Speaker 5>has secured him the thirst vote. Oh lord, oh wow,

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 5>All right, here's the line of work you never thought

0:24:57.040 --> 0:25:04.120
<v Speaker 5>you'd hear of. Sean trainor a facial hair historian. Wow,

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 5>whose dissertation Groomed for Power examined the underpinnings of the

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:14.040
<v Speaker 5>Golden age of political beards in the nineteenth century, says,

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:18.360
<v Speaker 5>we're re emerging in this kind of new bearded age.

0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:21.359
<v Speaker 4>I believe AI should take your line of work.

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 5>Can't you imagine writing this article with a straight face

0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:28.240
<v Speaker 5>and all these quotes?

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:31.600
<v Speaker 1>What's interesting to me?

0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:34.159
<v Speaker 4>It's all fashion, right, So in the way fashion works

0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:38.879
<v Speaker 4>and always has, there's early adopters that seems kind of crazy.

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 4>If your mainstream that they're doing that, whatever it is,

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 4>and then it grows in popularity till it hits the

0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 4>mainstream and everybody's doing it. That's where we are now

0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:50.919
<v Speaker 4>that politicians can get elected with beards. It's no longer

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 4>hipster cool. It's the guy in a band or works

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 4>at the Trader Joe's grocery store. It's your governor. Then

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:00.399
<v Speaker 4>they're gonna start being clean shaven. That's right around the corner.

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:02.880
<v Speaker 1>It's in, it's out because of.

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 4>For instance, the Beatles, they came along and they had beards,

0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 4>actually copying the band who had beards. But it was

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:11.160
<v Speaker 4>after years and years and years of rock and roll

0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:13.840
<v Speaker 4>stars being clean shaven, they all got beards to show

0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:17.359
<v Speaker 4>just how different we are. Well, that lasted so long

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:20.800
<v Speaker 4>and became so mainstream. Bono talks about this in his

0:26:20.880 --> 0:26:24.080
<v Speaker 4>memoir We Had to Be Bono talked about how we

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:26.159
<v Speaker 4>had to be clean shaven because we're part of the

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:28.920
<v Speaker 4>punk movement, and all the whole punk scene was clean

0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:32.320
<v Speaker 4>shaven because your your dad is a beard. We're a

0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:35.840
<v Speaker 4>different thing. We're clean shaven, and then that lasts until

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:38.960
<v Speaker 4>whenever it was fifteen years ago when it became cool to.

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Have facial hair again.

0:26:40.480 --> 0:26:43.960
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty funny. The need to be the rebellious. I'm

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:46.359
<v Speaker 4>not doing it like they used to do. Now governors

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:48.800
<v Speaker 4>and presidents are gonna have beards. That's when you know

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:49.360
<v Speaker 4>it's out.

0:26:50.560 --> 0:26:52.720
<v Speaker 5>Uh. I don't know why you're wasting our time talking

0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:56.720
<v Speaker 5>about music when this is important. For instance, as he

0:26:56.840 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 5>posed for pictures at the gun counter, Bianco accused Hilton,

0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 5>a political commentator, of growing a beard to compete with

0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:08.280
<v Speaker 5>the mustache Bianco first grew as a teenager. He changed

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:10.399
<v Speaker 5>his appearance and grew a beard because he had to

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 5>look tough.

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:12.880
<v Speaker 1>His own facial share.

0:27:13.680 --> 0:27:16.399
<v Speaker 5>Facial hair shows he can grow a mustache and most

0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:18.640
<v Speaker 5>people can't, said the sheriff.

0:27:18.800 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 1>That is an odd thing to say.

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 4>That's weak man. That makes me like you less. And

0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 4>I liked all light less. I liked Chad the uncle

0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:27.440
<v Speaker 4>before he said that. That's a weak thing to say.

0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:30.160
<v Speaker 4>The right answer is, we're talking about facial here here.

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:32.480
<v Speaker 4>How about we talk about taxes. How about we talk

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.360
<v Speaker 4>about the bullet train. We're talking about beards and mustaches.

0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:36.440
<v Speaker 4>That's the answer.

0:27:37.359 --> 0:27:40.440
<v Speaker 5>Let's take one more step down the road to stupid Ville.

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:45.200
<v Speaker 5>Hilton countered that his beard was a happy accident. He

0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 5>didn't bother shaving on a week long vacation, and several

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:49.159
<v Speaker 5>people said to him, Hey.

0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 1>The beard looks pretty good on you, So he thought,

0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:52.320
<v Speaker 1>he I'll keep it.

0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:55.879
<v Speaker 4>That sounds more accurate. And let me tell you, I

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:57.480
<v Speaker 4>think he looks better with the beard. And let me

0:27:57.480 --> 0:27:59.719
<v Speaker 4>tell you, as a guy with no hair himself, if

0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 4>you got no hair and no beard and no glasses,

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:04.600
<v Speaker 4>you just got too much sameness going on here.

0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 1>It's just too much.

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 4>You look in the mirror and it's just one big

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 4>kind of tannish pale. Everything molds together. You gotta get

0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:13.120
<v Speaker 4>some facial hair and or glasses.

0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:18.520
<v Speaker 5>Facial hair historian Jack Armstrong, there uh, yeah, he says,

0:28:18.680 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 5>ninety five percent positive on the beard. The problem is

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:23.560
<v Speaker 5>the five percent anti includes my wife and kids who

0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:26.639
<v Speaker 5>keep asking me when I'm gonna shave it. Yeah, comfortable

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.399
<v Speaker 5>in your own skin, guy, Mister he's jealous of my

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:33.000
<v Speaker 5>mustache or no, I grew it on vacation.

0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought it looked good.

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:37.760
<v Speaker 4>M My wife hates it. Yeah, so that's a much

0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 4>better answer. Yeah, you can't be going with that.

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:42.920
<v Speaker 1>He's trying to show he's tough. I've had I've had

0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 1>a mustache ince high school.

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:50.200
<v Speaker 5>All right, Oh boy, that is a weak response. Oh boy,

0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:56.200
<v Speaker 5>oh boy, that brought me down. I'm embarrassed too. I've

0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 5>got a zoron Mamdani. Note that is a brilliant, brilliant

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:01.840
<v Speaker 5>takedown on maybe after the break, certainly by the end

0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 5>of the show.

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 1>We do it another hour after this.

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 5>If you don't get it, or you gotta go somewhere,

0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 5>they grab the podcast subscribed Armstrong and Getty on demand.

<v Speaker 5>You get the un demanded podcast, but also automatically you

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:15.760

<v Speaker 5>is spicy.

<v Speaker 4>Do we have something to tell people here? Michael Good? Okay,

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:20.320
<v Speaker 4>so I got.

0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Time for this.

0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:23.800
<v Speaker 4>Uh, do you have the quote of the day, handy,

0:29:23.840 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 4>because I was all excited about this from earlier in

0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:28.640
<v Speaker 4>the show. The freedom loving quote of the day was

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 4>that the winning the.

0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Pooth Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you have that, handy because

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I've got right here. Yeah, bad news on that. Uh

0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 1>oh oh no?

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 5>Should I read it? And then you're gonna humiliate me.

0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 5>Now see if I'm some sort of a mustache lists

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 5>fool a eunuch. Practically, what day is it? Asked poo,

0:29:47.880 --> 0:29:52.280
<v Speaker 5>It's today, squeaked Piglet. My favorite day, said Pooh.

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:55.200
<v Speaker 4>Now, I love that, And I said, at the time,

0:29:55.240 --> 0:29:57.000
<v Speaker 4>I thought I want to get a poster that framed,

0:29:57.000 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 4>and I meant that, so I went online to look

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:02.880
<v Speaker 4>into getting a and there are lots of posters that

0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:04.760
<v Speaker 4>and I thought, I want a big I'm gonna spend

0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 4>the money, get this frame looking nice and put it

0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:08.280
<v Speaker 4>in my damn living room. I mean, that is a

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:11.080
<v Speaker 4>fantastic But then I did the research in that there's

0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 4>no aa Mill never put that in any book or anything.

0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 4>That's just something that caught on and somebody drew and

0:30:18.600 --> 0:30:21.760
<v Speaker 4>pooh and pickling, and it's great, and it seems like

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 4>the sort of thing that they would say, but it's

0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 4>not from actual any That kind of takes the fun

0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 4>out of.

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:27.120
<v Speaker 1>It for me.

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 4>I like the question, Well, the wisdom is still there,

0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:32.480
<v Speaker 4>the wisdom is still good there, but I don't want

0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 4>to have Winnie the Pooh and piglet they're saying it

0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:35.479
<v Speaker 4>if they never actually said it.

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:38.480
<v Speaker 5>How about Mickey Mouse and Goofy. I don't know, Homer,

0:30:38.560 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 5>Simpson and Bart.

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:45.120
<v Speaker 5>Sal about the wisdom. No, I know what you mean,

0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:50.720
<v Speaker 5>Chief Wigham and his son. That'd be good, nice wisdom. Boy.

0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we got them.

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:57.360
<v Speaker 4>Nannie explaining how socialists can take over and acquire all

0:30:57.560 --> 0:30:58.920
<v Speaker 4>stuff along with what Joe's got.

0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh, what a piece a crap he is, among other things.

0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:12.720
<v Speaker 4>On the way, stay here, oh man, can I do

0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:13.800
<v Speaker 4>a quick breaking news?

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Share breaking news.

0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 4>Michael Trump administration officials have asked the Bureau of Engraving

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:26.080
<v Speaker 4>and Printing to design a two hundred and fifty dollars

0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:28.640
<v Speaker 4>bill featuring the president's portrait, which would be the first

0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:30.880
<v Speaker 4>appearance of a living president on US currency in more

0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:31.200
<v Speaker 4>than one.

0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Hundred and fifty years. Oh boy, from the Washington Post.

0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:35.680
<v Speaker 1>It's breaking news.

0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:37.840
<v Speaker 4>So a two hundred and fifty dollars bill, which makes

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:41.240
<v Speaker 4>sense because of inflation, all of our money should get adjusted.

0:31:41.560 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 4>A dollar is practically nothing now, so a two hundred

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:46.920
<v Speaker 4>and fifty dollars bill kind of makes sense.

0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:52.000
<v Speaker 1>But Trump's picture anyhow? Oh boy? All right?

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:58.000
<v Speaker 5>Meanwhile, here is America's favorite Islammunist, mayor Mamdanni's or on

0:31:58.120 --> 0:32:01.680
<v Speaker 5>Mumdanie of New York City, talking about how we're going

0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:03.960
<v Speaker 5>to end private property bit by bit.

0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:07.920
<v Speaker 7>Through our new citywide campaign Fix the City. We will

0:32:07.920 --> 0:32:14.959
<v Speaker 7>focus on the worst landlords in New York City. When necessary,

0:32:15.080 --> 0:32:18.440
<v Speaker 7>we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners

0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:25.640
<v Speaker 7>and property managers, and for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect,

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 7>we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:45.320
<v Speaker 7>that include community land trusts, nonprofits, nonprofits, or even the

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:46.480
<v Speaker 7>tenants themselves.

0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, here's how this works.

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:54.200
<v Speaker 5>You pass a regulation on executive order saying you're not

0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:56.280
<v Speaker 5>allowed to raise any of your rents, and you're like,

0:32:56.480 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 5>my costs of skyrocketed. I can't maintain these apartments if

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:02.400
<v Speaker 5>I don't don't raise the rents as the landlord. And

0:33:02.440 --> 0:33:05.320
<v Speaker 5>they say, well, you didn't maintain them, so we're taking

0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 5>them away from you and confiscating your private property. It's

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:12.080
<v Speaker 5>happened over and over in Marxist regimes. I can give

0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 5>you half a dozen examples.

0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:16.640
<v Speaker 4>And now they'll be under the control of a nonprofit

0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:19.760
<v Speaker 4>which probably gets all kinds of government money as a

0:33:19.840 --> 0:33:20.520
<v Speaker 4>non profit.

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:23.800
<v Speaker 5>Well, and it'll be built like the nonprofits that deal

0:33:23.840 --> 0:33:26.120
<v Speaker 5>with the bums and junkies on the streets.

0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Please, it'll just be a theft string.

0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:31.120
<v Speaker 5>So I thought this was great writing, great common sense

0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:34.840
<v Speaker 5>by Austin Berg. He's writing about how old Zorn just

0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:39.920
<v Speaker 5>released a video touting his closing a twelve billion dollar

0:33:40.040 --> 0:33:42.480
<v Speaker 5>budget deficit without cutting.

0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Essential city services.

0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:47.320
<v Speaker 5>The official video has generated six point nine million views

0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:50.040
<v Speaker 5>on Instagram and five and a half million on TikTok,

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:54.280
<v Speaker 5>leaning into his sewer socialism narrative that far left municipal

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:58.400
<v Speaker 5>leaders can transcend mere rhetoric and deliver on good government basics.

0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:00.479
<v Speaker 1>But here's what you need to know.

0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:04.959
<v Speaker 5>The mayor's viral budget video highlights three keys to closing

0:34:04.960 --> 0:34:07.959
<v Speaker 5>that twelve billion dollar gap. The first is more support

0:34:08.000 --> 0:34:11.040
<v Speaker 5>from state, including an additional one point two billion dollars.

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:13.319
<v Speaker 1>For childcare assistant assistance. The second is.

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:16.399
<v Speaker 5>Finding about one in three quarter billion savings from efficiencies.

0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:20.239
<v Speaker 5>The third is taxing the rich, citing hey, I'm sorry,

0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 5>authorization of a new tax on second homes blah blah blah.

0:34:23.960 --> 0:34:26.360
<v Speaker 5>The mayor's video makes no mention of what appears to

0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:29.359
<v Speaker 5>be the single largest line item in its deficit reduction plan.

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:33.319
<v Speaker 5>That's cutting the city's payment to its pension funds by

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:36.360
<v Speaker 5>two point three billion dollars over the next two years,

0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:41.120
<v Speaker 5>which obviously is a very short sighted thing to do

0:34:41.920 --> 0:34:44.719
<v Speaker 5>because you're still going to owe those funds down the road.

0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:46.880
<v Speaker 1>But here's the punchline.

0:34:47.000 --> 0:34:49.920
<v Speaker 5>The reason they can even consider doing this is that

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:53.279
<v Speaker 5>investments held by New York City's five pension systems have

0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:57.799
<v Speaker 5>exceeded the gains. The profits have exceeded expectations for ten

0:34:57.920 --> 0:35:01.000
<v Speaker 5>years running because the stock mar has done so well,

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:05.000
<v Speaker 5>earning seven point seven percent over the past decade, compared

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:07.440
<v Speaker 5>with what they were hoping for, which was seven percent.

0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:12.280
<v Speaker 5>So what produced that boom to free up that money?

0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:18.160
<v Speaker 5>That's right, socialism? Oh no, sorry, whoops, capitalism, the free

0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:22.520
<v Speaker 5>market did. The only reason mom Donnie has the money

0:35:22.560 --> 0:35:27.279
<v Speaker 5>to do is socialism is capitalism, and anybody with a

0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:32.600
<v Speaker 5>lick of sense knows it. It's just outrageous that youngsters,

0:35:32.719 --> 0:35:38.239
<v Speaker 5>especially fall for this crap. Yeah, so now we ought

0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:41.840
<v Speaker 5>to get into that idiot Katie Wilson in Seattle, maybe

0:35:41.960 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 5>next hour with her. You know, the businesses and billionaires

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:51.560
<v Speaker 5>may leave the spot the state well, like by she

0:35:51.760 --> 0:35:55.160
<v Speaker 5>said before she apologized for a Starbucks campaign and then

0:35:55.200 --> 0:35:59.400
<v Speaker 5>scrambled backward as fast as she can stop electing communists

0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:00.560
<v Speaker 5>and children that would help.

0:36:01.040 --> 0:36:03.400
<v Speaker 4>I got my latest four to oh one k recently,

0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:05.960
<v Speaker 4>like a lot of you probably did, and thought, wow,

0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:09.920
<v Speaker 4>it's really doing well. But the thing that is troubling,

0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:14.040
<v Speaker 4>of course, is that it's just like half a dozen

0:36:14.600 --> 0:36:18.080
<v Speaker 4>AI companies that are really driving practically the whole thing.

0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:22.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's a little scredably heavily weighted over there.

0:36:22.440 --> 0:36:24.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, And who knows if that's going to turn

0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:26.400
<v Speaker 4>out to be what they think it's going to be.

0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:29.040
<v Speaker 1>We'll see and.
