1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: and Jetty enough he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: Well.

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 3: I thought that people were jumping a little bit out

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 3: of line.

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 4: They were getting yippie, you know, they were getting a

8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 4: little bit yippy, a little bit afraid, unlike these champions,

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 4: because we have a big job to do.

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: No other president would have done what I did. No

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: other president I know the presidents, they wouldn't have done it,

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: and it had to be done.

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 5: I think we have a really big problem, which was

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 5: we have two strong guys, neither of which wants to

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 5: back down. And I was in China a couple of

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 5: weeks ago, and the Chinese have been preparing for this

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 5: for years. They may not have expected quite the scale

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 5: and speed with which this has become a full on

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 5: trade war with one hundred and twenty five percent times,

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 5: but they are ready for this, and they are in

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 5: no mood right now to back down and both so

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 5: practically it's very very difficult Fijijinping to lose face. That's

23
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 5: it's he cannot lose face. So for the moment, I

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 5: think quite how they unwind this becomes hard.

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 4: That is really interesting. I you know, I hadn't even

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 4: thought of the Chinese perspective, So they knew at some

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 4: point America was going to have to do this.

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course and over again. Of course they do.

29
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 4: It's so common to, you know, only think about your

30
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 4: side of the equation and not the fact that China knows.

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: Of course we're going to decouple from the United States.

32
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 4: We have They're going to have to decouple from us.

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 4: It's part of our whole taking over the world, and

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 4: you know we have a plan for that. Of course

35
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: they do. It's not like I'm surprised to them. So

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: the the US is fat.

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: And lazy, but we're not stupid, and just just very quickly.

38
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: The reason I paired those two pieces of audio together

39
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: was to point out that you have the rest of

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: the world world. We got our ninety day pause, they're

41
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: going to be negotiations. Everybody breathes a sigh relief, the

42
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: market skyrocket temporarily, and then you've got China, and we're

43
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: going to talk about China this segment.

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 4: So China's eighty four percent tariff on US goes intoffect

45
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: today as Trump's one hundred and twenty five percent tariff

46
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 4: goes on effect in effect on them. But as that

47
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 4: person just said, they knew this was coming someday. It's

48
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: not a shock to them. It's interesting.

49
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: So you have multiple layers of gristle in this one

50
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: as we try to chew it. Unnecessary, really, and I

51
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: think ye for them, But I would rather be the

52
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: United States than China ultimately in a whole bunch of

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: different ways. But you know, just on the face of

54
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: a lot of this, China's got to be thinking, yeah,

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: I'm sure glad we don't make all all of our

56
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: drugs in the United States, or all of our electronics,

57
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: or all of our a whole bunch of different things

58
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: in the country we're about to be at war with, right, So,

59
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: like I was saying, you have multiple layers going on here.

60
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: First of all, the ridiculous and idiotic trade imbalance between

61
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: the countries based on protectionism and flooding the market with

62
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: cheap Chinese goods and that sort of thing, the whole

63
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: misguided relationship with China. If we let them liberalize economically,

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: they'll become our buddies. Yeah, no, they never intended to.

65
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: We all know that stuff. Then you got two really

66
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: tough guys, Chesi and Ping, who rules with an iron fist.

67
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: And if you're an iron fisted ruler, rule number one

68
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: is don't back down ever unless you can claim it

69
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: was your idea and it was a victory. And Trump

70
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: is making it very difficult for Xijian Ping to back down.

71
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It just it is.

72
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: And Trump, on the other hand, having frankly back down

73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: on the rest of the world tariff stuff, or at

74
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: least changed his sales. I think it ends up in

75
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good place. But he definitely had to change

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: because everybody was getting yippie. We talked an hour two

77
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: was it or our one about the bond market? I

78
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: guess it was our one. How everybody who buys US

79
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: bonds and invests in the US started to send signals

80
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: via the bond market that maybe the US isn't such

81
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: a great place anymore, and it got everybody's attention in

82
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: a way that's a little difficult to explain. Maybe we'll

83
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: reset it later in the show. But anyway, so Trump

84
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: absolutely adjusted his sales, and so he really needs to

85
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: look tough against China. I mean there are great underlying

86
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: reasons to look tough on China anyway and be tough

87
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: on China, But for his own self image and his

88
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: image politically, he doesn't want to back down to Winnie

89
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: the Pooh. So this one will not unravel quickly or easily.

90
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: I don't think. No.

91
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 4: So all of this stuff that we were talking about

92
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 4: yesterday is still a fact. The shelves in Walmart full

93
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 4: of Chinese products, Amazon just full of Chinese products.

94
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: And how long does this last? And soon do we

95
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: notice it?

96
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 4: Remember what inflation was like and you go to the

97
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 4: grocery store, whatever you do, and you'd be shocked every

98
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 4: time you got the bill. How soon do we notice

99
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 4: that sort of thing? I wonder in weeks? And then

100
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: how does the working class America, which is the base

101
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 4: of the MAGA movement react to that is the reaction.

102
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 4: I knew it was going to cost more, but it's

103
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: it's good for the long term. Or does Trump's pull

104
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 4: numbers go in the toilet immediately?

105
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, anybody who's gotten a little older in life

106
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: understands that sometimes the things you have to do are painful, comfortable. Yeah,

107
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: most of the things you have to do are painful. Yeah. Yeah,

108
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: And here's here's the reality. Because the long term prospect

109
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: of like going back to manufacturing our own underpants and

110
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: T shirts in this country, it's conceivable, but it would

111
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: make them much more expensive than it would take a

112
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: while to gear up and do that. It's funny to

113
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: use the term underpants as opposed to what underwear underwear. Yeah,

114
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: just underpants. It seems so old timey. That's part of

115
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: my charm anyway. So the prices on a lot of

116
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: things that people do tend to buy fairly frequently are

117
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: going to go up, at least in the short term.

118
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons that's going to be painful

119
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: is a according to every economic survey I've seen, people

120
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 1: are already kind of at the end of their rope

121
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: financially because of the past inflation. That's interesting, so orrowing

122
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: credit card balances, the rest of it. I was about

123
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: to say, as soon as people catch wind to this,

124
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: and some people already have, you're going to buy your

125
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: underpants or your cheap electronics or whatever. Now, which is

126
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: what bloomers your braziers?

127
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 4: Yes, which here, of course it's which is what drives inflation,

128
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 4: is the fear of inflation. I mean, it helps drive it,

129
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 4: so everybody's going out buying it and then it just

130
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 4: keeps going and going. But maybe that won't happen if

131
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 4: everybody's maxed out their credit cards. You're just thinking, you

132
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 4: know what, I'm gonna have to wear holy underpants exactly.

133
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. And the other aspect of it,

134
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: that's interesting. And again this is absolutely not an argument

135
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: against doing it or an argument about the way Trump's

136
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: doing it, because we all knew something like this had

137
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: to come. As Jack was just describing China. Knew is

138
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: that there are so many Americans who are employed in retail,

139
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: in trucking, in you know, the various handling of the

140
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: goods that come from China, or build stuff with parts

141
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: that come from China. It's gonna hurt sectors of the

142
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: American economy where they're working. People work, So that's going

143
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: to be kind of difficult to work through. Not kind

144
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: of it's going to be difficult to work through, depending

145
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: on how this goes, of course, but man, it is

146
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: so layered and one sector and one you know aspect

147
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: of this is interwoven with the other ones in a

148
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: way that I mean, it would take forever to describe it,

149
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: even if I had the knowledge to nobody can. That's

150
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: the point of a free market. It does itself, you

151
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: don't need to guide it. But well, so, what were

152
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: you ben get ripped off for a long time? What

153
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: were the tariffs on China a week ago? Below fifties?

154
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, it's gonna.

155
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: Be about two and a half times the tariff on

156
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 4: all Chinese goods coming into this country.

157
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna notice that hard and fast, for

158
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: better or worse. So with the new US tariffs making

159
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: the American market all but closed to Chinese products, even

160
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: this is from the Wall Street Journal, even more Chinese

161
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: goods will be rerouted to countries in Europe and Asia,

162
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: where leaders are already concerned about a flood of Chinese

163
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: products that have jeopardized jobs, which leads me to clicking

164
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: over to this piece, also in the Journal, the rest

165
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: of the world is bracing for a flood of cheap

166
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: Chinese goods. Wow, so China sold a hell of a

167
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: lot of stuff to us. Sure, and it's funny. This

168
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: was written a couple of days ago when it was

169
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: tariffs for around seventy percent A lot of it crappy,

170
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: but a lot of it not Nikes aren't crappy. No,

171
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: and a lot of it was good enough. We've talked

172
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: for years about this experiment going on. If we gave

173
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: you something that was a third less good but costs

174
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: forty percent less, would you buy it, knowing you have

175
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: to replace it sooner? And Americans have answered yes, absolutely,

176
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: over and over again on cheap Chinese junk.

177
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: I was watching a guy at a shoe store sells

178
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 4: gymnasium shoes, and he said, this pair of and I

179
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 4: don't remember what he was holding up. It wasn't Nike's.

180
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: It was one of the other brands. And I don't

181
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: know which ones are made Ware, but AAIs or Adidas

182
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 4: or whatever they were, and he said, these are I'm

183
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 4: already have already marked him up from one eighty to

184
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: two hundred, and I might have to go up higher

185
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 4: already and prepare for now. You know, the media's going

186
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 4: out of their way to find people that are doing that,

187
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: to present this as scary and as bad for Trump

188
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 4: as you can. But I wonder what that will be.

189
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 4: What will appair of Nike shoes cost next week or

190
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 4: next month, and when people still want to buy them.

191
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 4: Of course, the idea is that you don't, right, isn't

192
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: that the whole point of what Trump wants to do.

193
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 4: As you won't buy the Nike shoes at that price,

194
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 4: You'll buy some shoes that were made somewhere else or

195
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 4: in the United States, and Nike will be forced to

196
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 4: move their factory.

197
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, ultimately indom the United States if you believe the

198
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: first argument that this is permanent, or you know, somebody

199
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: other than China, if you believe what I believe. This

200
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: is all mostly posturing to get better trade deals. But

201
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: so the rest of the world is not going to

202
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: love this either. Now. I don't particularly give a crap

203
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: how shoe stores in London are doing. But the towering

204
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: tariff wall also risks diverting some US bound Chinese exports

205
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: into a global market already swimming in China made goods,

206
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: orsening what is called a China shock that was already

207
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: facing pushback from countries around the world according to other

208
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: According to economists, other major exporters like Vietnam, South Korea,

209
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: Japan could also see barriers grow as US spending on

210
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: import falls in general. But so China's got to sell

211
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: their cheap craps somewhere, and so they're going to cause

212
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: just enormous economic shocks wherever they find they can dump

213
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: their goods.

214
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 4: Is there going to be a black market? Are people

215
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 4: going to be driving into Canada to buy Nikes?

216
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: I have no idea. That's an interesting question, But I'm

217
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: thinking more geopolitically, Jack, and I wonder whether more and

218
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: more countries and more and more peoples wake up to

219
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: the fact that if you're in bed with China, it's

220
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: for China's benefit. Don't believe don't trust China? Right China?

221
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: What do we have to tip you to play these

222
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: sounds now? Or what? And why am I yelling at MICHAELA.

223
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: I know it's the stress Jack from the tariffs, But anyway,

224
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: will this alert more and more countries around the world? Okay,

225
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: Trump's a little mercurial, but is just predatory.

226
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 4: I don't know if you're smart to know where this

227
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 4: is going or have an idea. Textas four one, five,

228
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 4: two nine five KFTC.

229
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: Shot the stunning volume of explicit images investigators say they've

230
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: seed from former University of Michigan coach Matt Weiss, the

231
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: Justice Department, emailing thousands of victims telling them. Wis gained

232
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 3: unauthorized access to their email, social media, and cloud storage

233
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 3: accounts and stole thousands of intimate photographs and videos. The

234
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 3: indictment says Weiss hacked into a third party vendor that

235
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 3: maintains student databases for more than one hundred colleges and

236
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: universities across the country, and even crack the encryption protecting

237
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: the passwords simply by doing research online.

238
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 4: What a weirdo so dedicated to the kink of being

239
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: able to see, like really not that sexy pictures of people,

240
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 4: but because you know them or you have the power

241
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 4: to see stuff you're not supposed to see. I guess

242
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: exactly that's the payoff for you. Because there's plenty of

243
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 4: pictures of naked women online. You can see anything you want,

244
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 4: doing anything you want if you want that. But the

245
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 4: fact that this girl is at your college, even though

246
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 4: it's like a blurry picture from across across the locker

247
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 4: room or something, it's.

248
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: Bad then it might be, but extremely explicit, it's that,

249
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: and it's one hundred different universities whatever. It's just it

250
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: was somebody who did not want to share that with me,

251
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: and I get to see it. Yeah, that's weird. And

252
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: you're that dedicated and that knowledgeable and skillful right in

253
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: the arts of computer hackery, and that's your goal. Yeah,

254
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: no kidding.

255
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: If you've got that kind of hacking ability and you're

256
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: willing to commit crimes, there's a lot of really lucrative

257
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 4: things you could do.

258
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, do something respectable like him doting people's bank accounts.

259
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: All right, yes, Katie.

260
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 2: Well, and that was one of the big things that

261
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: they came out with yesterday was the fact that he

262
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 2: didn't have big computer skills. He figured all of this

263
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: out just by doing simple searches online.

264
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: He figured out how to do it. Really, that's tabling,

265
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: so college encryption services, what are their algorithms there? It is? Okay,

266
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: I'll type that in. That's the Wait a minute, really.

267
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was what they were saying, is that he's

268
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 2: not some computer genius. He was just searching online how

269
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: to figure out to get into these files, and he

270
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: was able to do it.

271
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: That's the most interesting part of the whole story. I'm

272
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: not sure I've ever been dedicated to anything except perhaps

273
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: being a father, the way this guy was dedicated to

274
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: looking at pictures of unclothed women. Yeah, weird. Lord, They're

275
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: inventing a new kind of crazy every day.

276
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 4: So I was at the DMV for a couple hours yesterday.

277
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 4: I was tweeting about it a lot, got a lot

278
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: of responses, some of them I thought were interesting in

279
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 4: a variety of ways, including this one, because I asked, like,

280
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 4: why are there no normal people DMV?

281
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: At least my experience seemed to be life's losers.

282
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 4: My whole life, I've thought that, like this first time

283
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: I went to the It's like, there are no normal people here,

284
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 4: like the how many people here.

285
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: Have a job? Folks? I found that screen off putting

286
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: in the elitist.

287
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 4: Honest answer, the DMV is like a real life filter

288
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 4: that squeezes out every ounce of human dignity. It's where

289
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 4: time goes to die and ambition takes a smoke break,

290
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 4: dent and cars dead stairs and crushed dreams. It's basically

291
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 4: the lobby of government efficiency. But hey, maybe that is

292
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 4: the secret. The winners don't wait in line, they get

293
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: private plates, personal assistants, or just skip registration like half

294
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 4: of Congress does.

295
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: Like I've heard those stories years after years. They just

296
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: don't register the cars and stuff like that because nothing's

297
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: going to happen to them. I thought that was pretty good.

298
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 4: It's where time goes to die and ambition takes a

299
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 4: smoke break.

300
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: That's some good writing.

301
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 4: Well doneh I moved to North Idaho in twenty three.

302
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 4: If you want to know the difference between California and Idaho,

303
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: just go to the DMV. You get right in even

304
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 4: without an appointment. People are genuinely helpful and friendly. It's

305
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: a fraction of the cost. It's a delight Yeah, there

306
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 4: are so many.

307
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: Examples of this, because we've gotten emails from folks who

308
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: have like a delightful DMV in their corner of California,

309
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: for instance, whereas Jack's not so much population. Density changes

310
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: human beings. It changes how many rules and regulations and

311
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: laws they want. That's why cities are always blue. They

312
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: want lots and lots of rules, they want democrats in charge.

313
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: Rural areas northern Idaho not so much. And it extends

314
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: how nice people are.

315
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 4: I'm not the only person that's ever thought this about

316
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 4: the crowd at the DMV, like where the normal people.

317
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 4: Seinfeld used to have a whole bit about it way

318
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 4: back in the day. But anyway, somebody tweeted this line

319
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 4: is Seinfeld's once said about the people at the DMV undtable.

320
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 4: Where all these undateable people coming from that are at

321
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 4: the DMV.

322
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: I don't know.

323
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: Again, Like I said, the percentage of crutches and slings

324
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 4: was way out of proportion than the normal population. And

325
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 4: I can't imagine how those two things fit together.

326
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: The key is how did they get those injuries?

327
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 4: I should have gone around asking, excuse me, I see

328
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 4: and her sling, how did you hurt your arm?

329
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: Excuse me as you're on crutches? What did you do

330
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: to your Wow? So let me squeeze this in just

331
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: real quickly, Jack, You'll enjoy this ten seconds. There's not

332
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: even so okay. After the break an emails so devastating.

333
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 1: I was about to read it. I've got an hour

334
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: and a half. We got plenty of times Armstrong and

335
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: Getty sandwich change.

336
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 6: Subway is announced it'll be offering reward members free Dorito's

337
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 6: foot long nachos with the purchase of any sub And

338
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 6: you know you're in a good restaurant when the food

339
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 6: is sold by link.

340
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 4: I shouldn't think about that when I'm at Subway and

341
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 4: I'm buying a three foot turo or whatever it is

342
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 4: that we get sometimes pretty Oh, that's plenty of chio.

343
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: That's really good. Breaking news.

344
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 4: The House has passed the blueprint for President Trump's tax

345
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: and spending cuts after opposition from hard right Republicans.

346
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm reading from the New York Times and he, you know,

347
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: hard right goodness for the hard right Republican.

348
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 4: Opposition from hard right Republicans threatened to tank it and

349
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 4: wanted warned that it would add too much to the

350
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 4: nation's debt. Chip Roy and that crowd who are just

351
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 4: saying the math doesn't work. I mean, I'm all for

352
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 4: tax cuts, love it, but where are spending cuts?

353
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: Right? But as usual, spending cuts will not happen. Without them,

354
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: we would be careening toward the cliff even faster. Thank

355
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: goodness for Chip Roy. Pray for his health. What happens

356
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: if Chip has a heart attack and goes away.

357
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 4: So this story in the New York Times got my

358
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 4: attention and I read the whole thing, and there's a

359
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 4: lot of interesting stuff in it. The pandemic is not

360
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 4: the only reason US students are losing ground for the

361
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: country's lowest scoring students. Things have really gone off a

362
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 4: cliff since twenty thirteen. And they used the bottom quintile,

363
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 4: broke it down into fifths, and actually it looks like

364
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 4: both the bottom quintile and the second to the bottom,

365
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 4: so i'd be two quintiles, which would add up to

366
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 4: forty percent, are both going down quite a bit in

367
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 4: terms of reading and math for eighth graders and fourth graders,

368
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 4: and they're trying to figure out why that is. The

369
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 4: reason is not just the pandemic, although obviously that didn't

370
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 4: help anything, because yeah, but probably a lot of socioeconomic

371
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 4: things that factor in with that lower performing student crowd

372
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 4: that the pandemic really did not help.

373
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: No. Being honest, I have I have a couple of

374
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: suggestions of what's behind this, but i'll i'll hold off.

375
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 4: For the least the last decade. Starting around twenty thirteen,

376
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 4: students in the bottom quartile have been losing ground on

377
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 4: the National Assessment Tests. It's made up of students from

378
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 4: various backgrounds, but includes a higher proportion of students with disabilities.

379
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 4: Students learning English. You know, well, if you could be

380
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 4: hard as you want, but if you don't speak the

381
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 4: language the teachers speaking and don't read the language, they're

382
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 4: ending you the.

383
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: Test in.

384
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 4: Dot dot dot nuff said. Uh, and children from poor families.

385
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 4: Whatever happening to the lower performers is still happening, and

386
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 4: we've got to figure this out, said the American Enterprise

387
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 4: Institute of right leaning think tank. Of course, they don't

388
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 4: label think tanks. All the other think tanks is left leaning.

389
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 4: They're just regular think tanks. But anyway, that's it. But

390
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 4: I like this when you brought this up the other day.

391
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 4: Researchers point to a number of educational and societal changes

392
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 4: over the past decade, including well, retrenchment and school accountability.

393
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: How do you take that? What? What? What's retrenchment and

394
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: school accountability. They're saying that schools are less accountable for

395
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: their results. Well, all right, I can't stand it anymore.

396
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw mine out there, and then you can

397
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: go back to your your analysis from the old Gray Lady.

398
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: Number one, rampant immigration. Obviously we've covered that. Secondly, the teachers'

399
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: unions who have demanded less accountability and who have joined

400
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: hand in glove with the progressive er education establishment in

401
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: introducing the woke crap not only the genderbred person in

402
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: the rainbow boy or whatever the hell else, teaching the

403
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 1: kids about radical gender theory, but also undermining all of

404
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: the values that tend to make you a good student.

405
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: How many times have you heard showing up on time

406
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: and trying hard is white supremacy? Handing in assignments on time,

407
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: or thinking logically, is that's racism? That's white supremacy. You

408
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: send that message year after year after year after year

409
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: to kids, you gotta get better students or worse ones, ladies.

410
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: And I don't know, I don't know if these numbers

411
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 4: are big enough to make a difference. But we all

412
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 4: know the number of kids that are homeschooled or been

413
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 4: moved to private schools has exploded. Oh true, and so

414
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 4: most of those kids were probably above average performing and

415
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 4: sort of just.

416
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: Live in families that value education.

417
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 4: So just statistically, if you took those kids out of

418
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 4: the public school, that's going to give you a bigger

419
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: chunk of lower performing as a percentage, right, I mean,

420
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 4: it's just right.

421
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: That's just that's its.

422
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 4: Math, even if you are if nothing has changed, just

423
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 4: moving all those kids out of the school the public

424
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 4: school system. But I thought this was good because you

425
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 4: brought this up the other day, worsening cognitive abilities because

426
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 4: of smartphones, which has happened even among adults. And it

427
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 4: links to the story you talked about the other day

428
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 4: on how we may have reached peak brain power a

429
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 4: few years back, that our cognitive abilities are just getting worse,

430
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 4: dispit and that they think that that's a chunk of

431
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 4: it for kids also, which I don't doubt.

432
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: And I thought about that. Well.

433
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 4: I don't say where I was, but I was someplace

434
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 4: where I was watching kids just glue to their smartphones

435
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 4: and iPads in a situation where you could have been

436
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 4: interacting with you could have been doing something else, but

437
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 4: the parents were busy doing their own thing. Certain socioeconomic crowd,

438
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 4: their kids are going to spend way more time staring

439
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 4: in an iPad or iPhone or a phone than than

440
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 4: other kids are. And so you're gonna have worsening cognitive abilities.

441
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 4: More I look at my phone, the worse my brain works.

442
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: That's just a fact, right. Yeah. I don't know what

443
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: you can do about that. Is there more to this analysis,

444
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: Candy doesn't need to be that's up to you. This

445
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: was going to say, in spite of my public school

446
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: analysis or education, rather, I'm able to read. So I

447
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: would like to read this email from Ray that we received.

448
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: You guys need to quit pretending to be a conservative

449
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: show because you're not. You're probably paid by George Soros

450
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: or the Chinese. I will not listen to your show again. Actually,

451
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: we're paid by both George Soros and the Chinese. It's

452
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: like a timeshare. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We do the

453
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: bidding of George Soros. Tuesdays and Thursdays. The communist Chinese

454
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: have us. Then he says, it's obvious you're trying to

455
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: emulate another very popular radio show, but you're failing. One

456
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: is that I have no idea. I can't imagine. And

457
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: do you know what topic this was? Uh no, he

458
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: doesn't say. It's the usual blast of indignance without explanation

459
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: or whatever. I don't. I don't know. Ray feel fun Well,

460
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: I could write back to him, I suppose, just out

461
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: of curiosity. But I will get to this chunk an

462
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: odd email descent.

463
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 4: I will get to this chunk from the New York

464
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 4: Times way further down because this is a very long article,

465
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 4: and it's something that a long article is wanted needed.

466
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a bad thing. It's a heartbreaking. It

467
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: might be the most important issue in America. It's heartbreaking

468
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: you got that many kids that you got no shot.

469
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 4: At making a go of it in a world with

470
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 4: AI coming and anyway, the United States since the early

471
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 4: twenty tens has taken in more immigrants.

472
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: Says The New York Times. I've noticed, we noticed, which

473
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: means more students who don't speak English and knows that

474
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: too have entered public schools.

475
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 4: Yep, ding these demographic ships. Could ships could explain some

476
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 4: changes in scores?

477
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: You think so?

478
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 4: I like the way they act like it's not you

479
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 4: never hear anybody left of center even come close to

480
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 4: being honest about the reality of being.

481
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm a fourth grade history teacher.

482
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 4: I walk into class the first day, I got thirty students,

483
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 4: and six of them don't speak.

484
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: A word of English. That could explain some of the

485
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: change in your ability to teach? Oh, could it? Thanks?

486
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: Fred and Alice? How does that always completely left out

487
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: of any conversation, like what is supposed to happen right

488
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: there in that situation? That is a blanking dishonest That's

489
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: why it's left down.

490
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 4: I think it's because they feel like it'd be hurtful

491
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 4: to point out how difficult that is and it and

492
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 4: and any any remedy you have for that situation.

493
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: And I know what some of them are. I've seen

494
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: them with my own eyes.

495
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 4: Really nice guy, one of the best nicest people I've

496
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 4: ever met in my life. Teacher both my kids had.

497
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 4: But he would stand up there with his his phone

498
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 4: and his Google translation, and he would do everything twice.

499
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 4: Now and if you spoke English, you had to hear

500
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 4: it twice once in another language. You speak the other

501
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: language you hear you just slow but slows everything down.

502
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 4: What else is he supposed to do?

503
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: You just gave him a classroom with you know, a

504
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: percentage of kids that don't speak English. What are you

505
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: supposed to do?

506
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 4: And then when you have scores going down or whatever

507
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 4: your problems are, you completely ignore that, like it's like

508
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 4: it's a minor point. You throw it in a paragraph later.

509
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 4: We've had more immigration in the United States in the

510
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 4: last ten years.

511
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: Don't know if you noticed people who might not who

512
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: don't speak English, which might have an effect. You know,

513
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: I've said this a million times. I appreciate the poets

514
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: and songwriters and soft hearted people of the world. I

515
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: really do. They help make the world go round. But

516
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: I don't want them in charge if you cannot look

517
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: at the situation we're describing non English speaking kids in

518
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: American schools and recognize the difficulty of that, both for

519
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: the kids and the teachers and the schools and the parents,

520
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: and not speak honestly about it because you're afraid somebody's

521
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: feelings might be hurt. I don't want you in charge

522
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: of anything, but you're not an adult.

523
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 4: I don't know what the answer is, but ignoring the

524
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 4: question doesn't work. Somebody should at least raise their hand

525
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 4: for this point of view. And I don't know if

526
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 4: America would go forward or not. How about we say,

527
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 4: if you can't speak English or read English, you can't

528
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 4: go to school here. That's one option. Maybe you think

529
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 4: that's too hard hearted, but that's one option.

530
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: Charge at least talk about it.

531
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 4: At least it's a solution, because just putting them in

532
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 4: the classroom is not a solution for anyone.

533
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: Now, you could also say, okay, I'll go away. The

534
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: other direction.

535
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 4: We need to raise taxes x percent, and it's going

536
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 4: to be a pretty big chunk chunk to come up

537
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 4: with teachers that speak Spanish, Punjabi, you know, whatever it is.

538
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 4: So we can educate all these kids to the level

539
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 4: that we do other kids.

540
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: That's one option. It's probably somewhere in between those two

541
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: things that I mentioned, but nobody even discusses it.

542
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 4: I don't understand how more teachers don't just pull their

543
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 4: hair out or quit on day one or have a march.

544
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 4: I guess because they'd feel like they were racists.

545
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: Say what am I supposed to do with this? I

546
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: got called racist by their progressive overlords. Exactly. I got

547
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: six kids who don't speak English, and they don't even

548
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: speak the same language. So it's not even like I

549
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: have to learn one language, it's multiple languages. Yeah, Do

550
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: we have to open international academies in every town where

551
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: they have multi lingual teachers who divide up the kids

552
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: by the tongue they speak. I don't know, but you

553
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: know it's I hate to sound like a guess, victim

554
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: of Stockholm syndromeer a battered spouse or something. But the

555
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: fact that, like The New York Times, is at least admitting, Hey,

556
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: our government schools are miserably ineffective and the kids aren't learning.

557
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's at least slightly encouraging the fact that

558
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: they still aren't they are so delusional or lacking in

559
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: spine or adult character that they can't say Yes. An

560
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: enormous influx of non English speakers is tough on schools.

561
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean, for God's sakes, that's not asking much for

562
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: them to say that. The fact that they can't say

563
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: that yet, I fear for the state of the nation

564
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: if our schools continue to be the source of the infection.

565
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: He I don't know.

566
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 4: I don't know what the right outcome is, but you

567
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 4: could never get to the right outcome if you're not

568
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 4: willing to be honest about what the polls.

569
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: Oh oh, oh, I'm so sorry. Our Chinese overlord's just

570
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: texted we need to take a break that Thursday. The

571
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: Chinese are in charge. Ray, we need to take it right.

572
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 4: And I'm supposed to give George Soros a foot rub

573
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 4: during the commercials stay here.

574
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: Dotcha Chi side puts it up at a forty five

575
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: for doc and chis now sixteen or twenty eight from

576
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: the field.

577
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 4: Well, look at Doncik who got traded out of nowhere

578
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 4: from Dallas where he had made his home and become

579
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 4: a giant part of the community and started a big

580
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 4: charity and just loved it there and was a fan favorite,

581
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 4: beloved by the fans. He loved them, they loved him.

582
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 4: Everything like that got traded in the middle of the night.

583
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 4: No idea, why, no discussion. Wasn't just out of nowhere. Anyway,

584
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 4: playing for the Lakers last night, played back in Dallas,

585
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 4: scored forty five points and then got all teary eyed

586
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: and actually quiver lipped. I saw that at one point,

587
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 4: greeting the fans at the end of the game because

588
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 4: he loved it.

589
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: There so much.

590
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 4: You know, that's a problem with professional sports is even

591
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 4: if like one of your players really likes the community

592
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 4: and wants to be there and help you, you know,

593
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 4: build schools and all.

594
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: That sort of stuf. Yeah, that's not the way the

595
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: business works. Nope, it's rough. Yeah, pays pretty well, does

596
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: pay pretty well. Anyway. The Lakers are a three seed

597
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: in the playoffs start next week, and that's going to

598
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: be fun to watch. I'm rooting for him to do well.

599
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: The Dallas GM is hated by the Maverick Chans. Yeah, yeah,

600
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: all night long. They wanted a chance for him to

601
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: be fired. That's rough. Wow, does anybody still know why

602
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: he did that? No? I don't want to get two

603
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: sports because we don't do a sports talk show. But

604
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: when that trade was announced, I was playing golf with

605
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: a professional sports writer who is so astounded. He was

606
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: texting all of his friends and nobody had an explanation.

607
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: And I still haven't heard it. It's one of the

608
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: weirdest things in professional sports history. Speaking of sports, not really,

609
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: but of a sports guy, Stephen A. Smith, which might be.

610
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 4: The most famous voice in all of sports right now,

611
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 4: ESPN or whatever, has been for quite a while. He

612
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 4: has really strong opinions. He yells about everything, and he

613
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 4: yells about everything. His wife asks him, Hey, you need

614
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 4: anything from the grocery store.

615
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: He says, we need more yogurt. Is yell's about him.

616
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: He's considering a twenty twenty eight presidential run.

617
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 4: He has been approached by Capitol Hill officials and Electric

618
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 4: leaders who would.

619
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: Like him to run.

620
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 4: He says his lack of political record would be a

621
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 4: campaign advantage, and he exploratory committee is looking into it,

622
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 4: but he'll only run if he believed he had a

623
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 4: legitimate chance to win, and based on our recent politics,

624
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 4: I think he has a legitimate chance to certainly make

625
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 4: some noise.

626
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't know about when I could see Get in

627
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: the nomination. I assume he's gonna run as a Democrat. Yeah, well,

628
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: the Democratic field looks pretty clear to me. Could he

629
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: turn out a whole bunch of people that don't normally vote? Heck,

630
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: yeah he could. Yeah in a prime market guy, and

631
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, fine, go ahead. I assume he's running as

632
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: a Democrat.

633
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 4: Or would he didn't say, but I just yeah, based

634
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 4: on all the opinions he shouts on a regular basis,

635
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 4: he seems like a Democrat.

636
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: But that'll be exciting. There's another non political person getting involved.

637
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: It's funny. I was just listening to a little Gavy

638
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: Knewsome audio off the air from his conversation with Bill

639
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: Maher not long ago when he was on Bill Marshaw

640
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: and Bill hit him with the transgender kids in school

641
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: thing and Gavey's answer was terrible. It was indefensible, And

642
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: we're working on that audio for you. But so yeah, again, run, Gavin,

643
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: please run. I would be more amused than I have

644
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: been since the first time I saw Monty Python's flying circus.

645
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 4: And the New York Times has got a peace out

646
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 4: today about Kamala Harris saying that it's way more likely

647
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 4: that she runs for governor in California than ever runs

648
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 4: for president again, but that one of the things they

649
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 4: point out in the article in the New York Times

650
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 4: is that the Wisconsin Democrats told her to stay away

651
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 4: from Wisconsin leading up to the big judge election last week.

652
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 4: They thought she'd be a bigger they thought she'd be

653
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 4: a bigger negative than a positive as the Democratic presidential

654
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 4: nominey to come to her and try to, you know,

655
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 4: turn people out.

656
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, we played that professor. Was it?

657
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: Harvard guy? Just yesterday you said the only reason she

658
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: lost was America didn't want a black woman as president. Yeah,

659
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: it was his explanation. I don't want to talk about

660
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: this for a variety of reasons, but the fact that

661
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: she's going to be the next governor of California and

662
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: I think she will is horrifying to me, just horrifying.

663
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 5: It is.

664
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 4: It's the stuff of nightmares. Yeah, yeah, there's no limit.

665
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 4: She'll bey Governor. Adam Schiff will be one of the senators.

666
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, what is that horrifying? So the guy who

667
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: tried to assassinate Justice Kavanaughs pled guilty might go to

668
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: jail for good. As crazy as a nut? Oh really Yeah, yeah,

669
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that a little bit next time. I

670
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: didn't realize he was completely nuts. Well, I have some

671
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: sympathy for that. He seems to be. He's one brand

672
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: of nuts or another. Whether he's quote unquote completely nuts,

673
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: I guess it's in the eye of the beholder. Got
