The 12 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: Court of International Trade. Oh, only one major radio show, 13 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: Slide Podcast, told you about the Court of International Trade 14 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: a week or two ago. You probably tuned out because 15 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: it was a fairly dull segment buyers standards. But it 16 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: was necessary. It was dullassary, It was vegetable, dull, yet necessary, 17 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: dul dulassary. The Court of International Trade has said, no, 18 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: the President doesn't have emergency powers to levy all these tariffs. 19 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: That all is done. Whoa way to hang on the agreements, 20 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 1: does sum in progress some allegedly what all the tariff 21 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: stuff is off. First of all, we got to use 22 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: the term dolossary more often. We might even have to 23 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: set aside a segment a day now, the dolossary segment. 24 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: It's dull, but it's very important. As an American, you 25 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: should know this exactly. Let's consider that it's the eating 26 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: your vegetables. Finish that and then we can have a 27 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: cookie or something. Yeah, two things on that one. From 28 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 1: the very beginning, it's been astounding to me that one man, 29 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: not Trump, just any one man could rattle world economy 30 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: that way with his own personal decisions and then wake 31 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: up in the morning and think, nah, it should be 32 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and five percent or never mind. I mean, 33 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: one guy being able to do that just doesn't seem 34 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: like the right system periodically, given the fact that a 35 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: tariff is a tax, plain and simple. It's attacks on imports. 36 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:43,119 Speaker 1: And then secondly, Congress has the right to tax, though 37 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: they have like virtually all of their other rights and 38 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: duties given them over to the executive branch. Because they're 39 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: a bunch of cowards. They are cards. They don't want 40 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: to take a vote on anything. The other part being, hey, 41 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: international Trade Court, with your three judges, what were you 42 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: busy on the left the last two months? That was 43 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: more important than this? Why did it take care get 44 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: this long to get around to this? They were getting 45 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: their ducks in a row, good American made ducks, by 46 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: the way, not for it. You can't get parts for 47 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: them now. They stick to the bottom of the pond, 48 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: right exactly, their toxic Yeah. The Court of International Trade 49 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: blocked one of the Trump administration's most aud assertions of 50 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: executive power under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in 51 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven, and they said, in short, the Court 52 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: does not read the Emergency Act to confer such unbounded 53 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: authority and sets aside the challenge tariffs imposed there under. 54 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: That goes now to the circuit courts of appeals and 55 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: then the Supreme Court. This is not some sort of 56 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's the first and last Court of 57 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: International Trade. It can be appealed and certainly will be. 58 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: Of course, the media, mainstream media, and they're covering of 59 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: this is all about Trump didn't get what he wants, 60 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: So we're happy with this court ruling, even though the 61 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: mainstream media is left and lefties have been talking about 62 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: tariffs as they answer to everything my whole life. So 63 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,839 Speaker 1: it's kind of a reverse thingy they don't they care 64 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: more about Trump losing than the things that they generally 65 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: like or don't like. And then also the other end 66 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: of it is in case well and every time Biden 67 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: trampled on the Constitution, they celebrated it, right, And the 68 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: other end of it is, in case you didn't know this, 69 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: almost every conserve real conservative that I like didn't like 70 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: the idea of a president being able to have this 71 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: much power. Oh right, yeah, I mean, and y'all should agree. 72 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: Can you imagine, because there will be a Democrat in 73 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: the White House at some point or another party because 74 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is in terrible shape. But and if 75 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: they wield this sort of you know, crazy executive power 76 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: to tax and just throw economies into turmoil, I mean, 77 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: President AOC. Jack has brought up this example before. President 78 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: AOC could declare income inequality a national emergency in the 79 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: way that Trump has declared trade imbalances as a national emergency, 80 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: and then President AOC could dictate enormous changes to the 81 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: economy and trade practices and whatever in the name of 82 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: income equality, or all kinds of things you would hate 83 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: around a climate emergency. Yeah, you get a bad hurricane 84 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: claim that's proof of climate change and all kinds of 85 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: crazy rules and laws, or the school shooting and you 86 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: decide clearly a national emergency, all kinds of things we 87 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: got to do on taking away guns. You're right, don't 88 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: it right? There's lots of easy examples from the left 89 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: you could use if you're going to be okay with 90 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: presidents and executive orders and using emergencies for their justification. Yeah, 91 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: Trump's doing a lot of great stuff that I love. 92 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: I've tried to make that very very clear. But we 93 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: had a lot yesterday, a very long list yesterday if 94 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: you missed it, but Trump, I'm sorry. Oh, the founding 95 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: Papas were absolutely right. They knew you, not you necessarily, 96 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: but you know, people they want a king. They want 97 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: a king because they think, wow, a king could really 98 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: get the stuff done that I want them to do. 99 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: But here's the problem. And if I have to tell 100 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: you the problem, you should go back to I don't know, 101 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: fifth grade civics class that or read a little bit 102 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: of history or something. That sort of executive power is abused. 103 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: Let's see what percentage of the time one hundred. It's tempting, 104 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: but you don't want it again. I ask, hey, International 105 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: Court of Trade, Court of International Trade? How did this 106 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: not r I as I refer to it. How did 107 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: this not rise to the top of your to do 108 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: box above? Wait? No, no, we got to decide whether 109 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: Belgian yarn falls under the rules were American yarn? No? 110 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: Pass on all that stuff and get to the global 111 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: trade has been changed for all of history or not. 112 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: But anyway, you're just gonna pee all over Belgian yarn. 113 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: Let's see it. That's why you're not on the Court 114 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: of International Trade. I'm looking forward to it. Just came 115 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: across this. I just saw our friend Tim Sandifer retweeted it. 116 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: We have Tim Sanderfer, a great legal mind, on the 117 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: show later this morning to talk about a number of things, 118 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: including Supreme Court releases their most controversial rulings in June, 119 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: which starts here in a couple of days, and so 120 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: we got that to look forward to. Any who. He 121 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: retweeted a George Will column from today from Washington Post 122 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: that says the Trump administration is the most progressive in 123 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: US history in terms of its politics. So maybe We'll 124 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: take a look wi to see what that means. I 125 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: don't know what that means. From the headline, we should 126 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty 127 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: on this it is Thursday, May twenty ninth, year twenty 128 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: twenty five, or Armstrong and getting with this program. I 129 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: think he probably just means using aggressive executive power to 130 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: reshape the country in one particular, you know vision. All right, 131 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: let's speak in the show officially now. According to FCC 132 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: rules and regulations, lay in truth bombs on you one 133 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: after another.

Delightful, absolutely so. Tariff policy 143 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: and obscure court rulings and squirrels on baseball face. That's 144 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: the Armstrong and Getty show. Squirrel you know you got 145 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two damn games right based on 146 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: the field, It's right, exactly need more squirrels.

Will that thing can really move? Well, 149 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: it would be awesome in a boring late May game 150 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: that is meaningless a giraffe anything? Or or how about streakers? 151 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: Whatever happened to streakers? Streak? We're surrounded by porn in 152 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: the modern world. Whatever happened to drop and trow and 153 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: running around a base? You know what I think it is? 154 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: I remember from the seventies streakers they were always very fit. 155 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: I think we're all too fat. And what's the point. Oh, 156 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: there's a naked person porn everywhere. You're right, it's not shocking. 157 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: You're right about that. So we got to get to 158 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: some headlines coming up. We got mail bag this hour, 159 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: more news of the day. That is a giant story 160 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: that for the most part, the whole tariff thing is 161 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: over TFN. But I suspect the appeals and Supreme courts 162 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: will uphold the ruling of the he scrolls down, reminding 163 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: himself Court of International Trade. I am very unhappy be 164 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: with how much glee so much of the media is 165 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: taking in Elon Musk stepping away from his government role. 166 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: That's not good.

Simultaneously, and this shows the 168 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: depth of their stupidity and hypocrisy, Simultaneously they're thrilled to 169 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: report he has problems with the big beautiful bill. Right, 170 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: what are those problems, morons? It's that the government has 171 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: bloated and overspends, which you've been pushing your entire careers. 172 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: But no, now you're happy because it's criticizing Trump. Seriously, 173 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: these people have the intelligence of goldfish. I think. More importantly, 174 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: they have the integrity of goldfish. Well, goldfish might be 175 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: very high integrity. I don't actually know. I see your point, though, 176 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: they have little or no integrity compared to gold vis. 177 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: Guess whatever animal metaphor you prefer. Okay, so we got 178 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: lots of the ways. 179 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 3: Stay here, Hey, somebody's run out on the field, some 180 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 3: goofball and a half and a red shirt. Now he 181 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 3: takes off the shirt. He's running down the middle by 182 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 3: the fifty he's at the thirty. He's bear chested and 183 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 3: banging his chest. Now he runs the opposite away, he 184 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: runs with the fifty, he runs the forty. 185 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: The guy is drunk. But there he goes there twenty. 186 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: They're chasing him. They're not gonna get him. 187 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 3: Breathing his arms, bear chested, somebody's topping there. 188 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: Here comes the blue coke. Oh they got him. 189 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 3: Here comes the Oh they tackle him at the forty 190 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 3: yard line. 191 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: Oh, that was the most exciting thing that happened tonight. 192 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: I'd tell you what. That was a great call on 193 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: your pump. That was a great call. No, man, he 194 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: deserves a seat at the right hand of God for 195 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: that alone. Presidential Medal of Freedom. That's my suggestion. Great 196 00:11:47,000 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: stay here. The last living grandson of President John Tyler 197 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: has died, Yes he has. The reason that is significant 198 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: is that has often been used as an example of 199 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: how few generations you can go back in time, as 200 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 1: his grandfather was born in seventeen ninety, you know, at 201 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: the time of George Washington of the United States, was 202 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: born when George Washington was president, and his grandson, last 203 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: grandson just died. Doesn't take many generations to go really 204 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: far back in time, right, especially if you've got a 205 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: family that knocks out kids really really old, which is 206 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: what happened, and it has him a little bit later but 207 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: in life than normal. But yeah, you can jump back 208 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: pretty fast. It's interesting. Yeah, the point certainly remains. Although 209 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: in the case of the Tyler family, President Tyler himself 210 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: was sixty three when he had a son, and that 211 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: son was seventy five when he had a son. Really, Okay, 212 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: well this is an extreme example, then yes, because I 213 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: consider having a kid at seventy five damn near criminal. 214 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: Well that is seventy five's literally three generations. So dude 215 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: himself took up three generations, so we are still a 216 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: young country. The point remains, but it's not quite as 217 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: amazing as it sounds. That's a decent point. Taking the 218 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: magic out of things, that's what I do. No, that's 219 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: not interesting. And here's magic out of things. No, that's 220 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: not funny. And here's why. No, you shouldn't be happy. 221 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: And here's why I'm strong and getty. Taking the magic 222 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: out of things. He heard a headline that fills you 223 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: with joy or awe, here's why you're wrong, stomping the 224 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: magic out of life. I'm strong in Getty Show. Speaking 225 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: of Witch, here's your first headline. AI could wipe out 226 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: half of all entry level, white colored jobs and spy 227 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: unemployment by ten to twenty percent within five years. Warren's 228 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: the CEO of AI Giant Anthropic. Yeah, man, I didn't read. 229 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: There's a piece in the New Yorker where a leading 230 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: AI expert who's on the side of it's not gonna 231 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: be near as big a deal as you think writes 232 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: an essay, and then a leading AI expert who says 233 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: this is going to change everything. Hold on, buckle up, 234 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: writes an essay. And I haven't read it yet. I 235 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: guess it's it's it's pretty pretty well thought out on 236 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: both sides. But one point I heard the other day 237 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: is one out of ten workers does some sort of 238 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: driving job. One out of ten, So whether truck drivers, Uber, 239 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: you know, Amazon delivery, just all kinds of different things. Bus. Yeah. 240 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: I could go on and on, but you could probably 241 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: use your own imagination driving. I mean that alone, if 242 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: self driving comes along, you disrupt ten percent of jobs, 243 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: that would be huge, and it's going to be significantly 244 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: more than just driving. So this chap told Axios that 245 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: companies and the government must stop sugar coating the threat 246 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: and prepare for mass disruption and tech law and finance. 247 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: As my kid is halfway through law school, or a 248 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: third of the way, most people are unaware of this 249 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: is about to happen, he said. It sounds crazy. Another headline, 250 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, Secretary of State among other duties, announced last 251 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: evening that the US will begin revoking visas of Chinese students, 252 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party. You're 253 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: studying in critical fields. I know this is headlines and 254 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: we're not supposed to go deep on these, but back 255 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: to the AI thing briefly. It just was just thinking, 256 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: ruminating about it. If it's going to disrupt the entire world, yeah, 257 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: we can take a minute. It's just ruminating while you 258 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: were talking. So are people who have like school age 259 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: kids like I do. Ten years from now, are twenty 260 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: something kids going to be living in our house as 261 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: we all just try to figure out the way the 262 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: new world works and what they're gonna do or how 263 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna do it, or what government program is going 264 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: to pay them to stay home or oh my god, 265 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: there is a significant chance that that is indeed, we will. 266 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: Holy crap. And by significant, I don't mean and I'm 267 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: not an expert in the field obviously, but by significant, 268 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: I don't mean like ten percent. I mean like forty 269 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: re emphasizing that the actual experts differ in the timeline 270 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: on this, but there is a decent chunk of them 271 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: that think it's coming really soon. Yeah. Yeah. As we 272 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, if you're just tuning in the US Court 273 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: of International Trade, that is a thing blocked Trump from 274 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: imposing all of his more severe tariffs on imports from 275 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: countries like China and Mexico. Canada Justice Apartment says it'll peel. 276 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: It goes up to the circuit course and then the 277 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, But for now, all the big tariff stuff 278 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: is off. It is off. Another headline that I like 279 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: is it looks like Trump told net and Yahoo know, 280 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: we ain't going to help you bomb Iran, and don't 281 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: you bomb Iran because we're close to a piece deal 282 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: and he waved off Netan Yaho nuts. Whether or not 283 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: Israel acts alone, we don't know, And whether we are 284 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: indeed close to a piece deal, it's tough to say, 285 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: because Trump usually comes off very positive. Yeah. No, doubt 286 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: about that. We got a lot more. I hope you 287 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,719 Speaker 1: can stay here, Armstrong and Getty. 288 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 2: But the paper itself, she was citing real books, but 289 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 2: the quotes did not exist. The page numbers were the 290 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: citing page seven hundred in the book only had three 291 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: hundred pages. 292 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: So that's a professor on the lead with Jake Tapper 293 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: on CNN talking about a student who used a AI 294 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: on their paper. Well, that's that makes the news. I 295 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: have a feeling that here at the end of the 296 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: school year about eighty to ninety percent of papers have 297 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: at least used AI for something, if not a lot 298 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: of the paper. I would be shocked if that wasn't 299 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 1: the case. Well, I think he'd be a fool if 300 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: you didn't use it for a list of good sources 301 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: and or proposed structure for the paper. I'm in the 302 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: habit thanks to you bringing it up now, of I 303 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: go to it before I go to Google for most things, 304 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: and it is so good and thorough, it's just absolutely amazing. 305 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: I've got it on the front page of my phone 306 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: now because it's my go to if I got a 307 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: question about anything. It's just so good at getting there. 308 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: But to that point of cheating. You brought this up 309 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: last week, this hilarious story of this Harvard professor writing 310 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: a paper about dishonesty in which she stole and or 311 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: made up facts. She did both. I'm sorry, I must quittle. 312 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: She is one of the leading scholars in the field. 313 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: This is multiple major projects that have attracted huge attention 314 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: through the years she was making. This came out today. 315 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: She was making at Harvard Francesca Gino a million dollars 316 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: a year. She was one of their highest paid faculty. 317 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: She was a giant in the field. She was making 318 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: a million dollars a year as a behavioral scientist at 319 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: Harvard Business School, and she got fired for fabricating data 320 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: on her studies focused on dishonesty, which is just too much. 321 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: A million dollars a year, These freaking frauds. Yeah, yeah, well, 322 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: and she's she's counter student claiming all sorts of stuff. 323 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: But you've got these rogue rogues, is that the right word. 324 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: These crusading scholars who go through all sorts of scholarship, 325 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: and they use algorithmic analysis of the data to find 326 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: suspicious patterns, and when they find it, they dig into 327 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: it further and they've identified all sorts of fraudulent academia 328 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: or academic work. You know, you combine that with the 329 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: utter ridiculousness of the so called soft sciences, as James 330 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: Lindsay and Helen Pluckrowse and Peter Bogosien pointed out famously 331 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: a few years ago, how much well, okay, I'm sorry. 332 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: And then to finish the delicious stew of stupid, you 333 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: combine that with all the woke crap that's being taught 334 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: on campuses, the federal subsidies to higher education, which has 335 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: made it suffocatingly expensive. I mean, our university system could 336 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: not be more diseased. And it used to be the 337 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,959 Speaker 1: envy of the world. Man, Harvard is to fallen in 338 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: terms of the way people think about Harvard a lot 339 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: in the last five to ten years, for a whole 340 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: bunch of different reasons. This is the first professor that's 341 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: with tenure that's been fired since the forties. That alone 342 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: is probably a problem. You're gonna tell me there's not 343 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: one professor in the last eighty years that has deserved 344 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: to be fired. Okay. I think there's it's a great 345 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: truth there, and it's still forming in my head. Harvard 346 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: has gone from a place that achieved greatness because it 347 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: was so academically rigorous, to a place that has preserved 348 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: its greatness by pretending nothing's wrong. So I think in 349 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: the years that built Harvard, which is like the year 350 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: sixteen eighty on, they would have heaved professors out for 351 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: being fraudulent or dishonest right and left. That's how they 352 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 1: became great. But now that they are great, to protect 353 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: that greatness, it's another facet or it's like a tangent 354 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: to the iron law of bureaucracy. Harvard is now a 355 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: giant self protecting bureaucracy. The vast majority of people there 356 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: do not get up in the morning with the aim 357 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: of pursuing academic excellence. They get up in the morning 358 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: with the aim of protecting Harvard. I know this. First 359 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: of all, this is hurtful to sever of people. I 360 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: know I hope aren't listening, but and I know what 361 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: their response would be. I gotta believe the vast majority 362 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: of published papers are crap, useless crap that's only for 363 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: each other, and nobody reads we know statistically that's true. 364 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: Nobody ever cites or reads them. It's just it's like 365 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: a it's like an internal make it justify each other's 366 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: existence organization that they've built. Correct. Yeah, well, you're so 367 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: fond of good Heart's law, speaking of the great laws 368 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: that govern the universe, where if a measure becomes a standard, 369 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: it ceases to be it ceases to be valid as 370 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: a measure. Yeah. Well, if I've got to publish what 371 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: happened for papers a year? I have gone from a 372 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: guy who published papers because they ought to be published 373 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: because there's good research and data and people should know 374 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: this stuff too. Ah crap, I gotta do four papers, 375 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: all right? What am I gonna do this week? But 376 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: this particular paper that one launched her getting investigated and 377 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: losing her million dollar a year job. She had done 378 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: a study claiming that requiring people to sign an honesty 379 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: pledge at the beginning of a form, rather than the end, 380 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: boosted honest responses, which I actually think probably is true. 381 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: You made me say again, so have you ever I've 382 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: filled out tons of papers. I'm sure you have at 383 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: the end where you swear that everything you just said 384 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: was true. Oh yeah, okay, putting that at the beginning 385 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: of the of the form makes it more likely or honest. 386 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: I'll but that's true. That makes sense to me, makes 387 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: perfect sense. How doing you do it at the end 388 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: is kind of odd? Actually, yeah, yeah, she a number 389 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: of her studies were really interesting in thought provoking. They're 390 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: about dishonesty and and you know, I read the descriptions 391 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: of them and thought, wow, that's that's really disappointing that 392 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: she may have faked up the dad, because that's a 393 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: really important revelation about humankind. But also it's also kind 394 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: of funny though, as we were just saying, these papers 395 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: they disappear into the world of justifying each other's existences. 396 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything to the rest of the humanity. 397 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: So the fact that you get fired for you know, 398 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: copying somebody else's who cares. I mean, ultimately, it doesn't 399 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: make any difference unless you're gonna tear the whole thing down, 400 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: which I'd be all for. And to remake a point 401 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: have made before, the idea that occasionally these woke professors 402 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: in your fake fields of study, gender studies, you know, ethnics, whatever, 403 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: that they plagiarized. Of course they plagiarized. The entire field 404 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: is repeating the cult's talking points. That's how you become 405 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: a giant in the field. By repeating the doctrine of woke. 406 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: So of course they're plagiary. They're not supposed to innovate. 407 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: That's the last thing they're supposed to do and has 408 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: been well document And it also, if you go against 409 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: the prevailing narrative on whatever topic it is, you got 410 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: no chance. You got to go along with the prevailing narrative. 411 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: See climate change as an example. There's not a chance 412 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna get anywhere being a scientist who says, you know, 413 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure it is getting that warm that fast. 414 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: That's no money, No, there's not. That's not gonna get 415 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: you anywhere. I had one other thing to say about this. 416 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 1: I want to point out what was it? And I 417 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: publish the paper on truth and mine. I don't know. 418 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: I don't pop back in it. Iron Lobby got good 419 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: hearts long so on a completely different topic. I'm trying 420 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: to find the numbers I had the other day. It's 421 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,479 Speaker 1: probably more trouble. I I did want to point this, 422 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: that's such a progressive thing. Though the other people shouldn't lie. 423 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: It's very important people be honest. I, however, am so smart. 424 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: I can handle the you know, the fudging around the edges. 425 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: But only people like me can do that. That's the 426 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: exact you know, free speech. I can determine what speech 427 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: should be. Okay, not on because my vote, my motives 428 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: are so pure, My motives are pure, and my judgment 429 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: is so good. Yeah. Anybody who says that I immediately 430 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:14,239 Speaker 1: know their motives suck and their judgment is worse. On 431 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: a similar topic, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, that's one 432 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: of like four titles he has announced Wednesday evening that 433 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: the Trump administration would work to aggressively revoke visas of 434 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: Chinese students, including those with ties to the Chinese Communists Party, 435 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: are those who are studying in critical fields. He did 436 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: not nail down exactly what it meant to have quote 437 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: unquote ties to the Communist Party or what the critical 438 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: fields were, although I think we can guess well enough 439 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: at what those things mean. A couple of quick points. 440 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: Number one mentioned earlier. All right, I guess it was 441 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: yesterday that foreign students make up less than five percent 442 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: of American university students, but they pay twenty eight percent 443 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: of the tuition. They are a cash cow. No offense 444 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: to Indian students with sacred cows Hinduism, et cetera. But 445 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: you're our sacred cow. You're certainly our cash cow. There. 446 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: They are a huge cash grab and so many, many, 447 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of American students can't get into the 448 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: so called elite universities because they're busy sucking cash out 449 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: of the rich foreigners, including many many Chinese students. These 450 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: Chinese students are either Chinese agents or Chinese nationals who 451 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: are susceptible to being forced to become Chinese agents. If 452 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: Xi Jinping, the CCP, ever, decides that they would be useful, 453 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: that's second part is risk. Yeah, that second part is tough. 454 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if you're here as a spy 455 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: and that was your purpose to come here, obviously, if 456 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: we can boot you out, we ought to boot you out. 457 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: But if you're here and you're just seriously wanting to 458 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: study whatever and you like America, just fine. But the 459 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: Communist Party says, hey, your your mom is going to 460 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: lose her job unless you take a picture of these 461 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: forms that you have access to. I feel researcher with us. 462 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: I feel bad for that person. Well, feeling bad is 463 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 1: no basis on which to conduct foreign policy. Sir, Wow, 464 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: grow up. Wow, now I hear you. It's definitely. It's 465 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: a different situation, but one you have to be aware of. 466 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: I've told a story one hundred times FBI counter intelligence 467 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: going on to a major college campus. Tell them the 468 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: university president, your campus has Chinese agents all over the place, 469 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: and he said, get off of my campus, you racists. 470 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: That is the state of academia. It is an enormous, 471 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: glaring weak spot for US national security. I don't doubt 472 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: for a bit that that is true. But what are 473 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: you going to ban every Chinese born student in America 474 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: from a whole bunch of different academic fields. You're going 475 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: to aggressively revoke visas of Chinese students, including those with 476 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Here those who are 477 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: studying criminal in critical fields here's and listen, there are 478 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: subtleties to this, and I'm so yes, is the answer 479 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: based on that last phrase or studying in critical fields? 480 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: I'm making a bit of a maximalist argument here, partly, 481 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: you know, because of time limitations. But I don't recall 482 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: our educating young Nazis in rocketry program during the nineteen 483 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: thirties and forties. Perhaps I've forgotten about them. Now, our 484 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: relationship with or you know, young Russian students need to 485 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: understand nuclear arms in the fifties. Now, our relationship with 486 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: China is more complex. But there's a real grain of 487 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: truth to that description. Yeah, comparison, you're right, there is. 488 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: That's interesting. We got mail bag on the way, so 489 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: much to talk about today. I hope you can stay 490 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: hear in an hour or two. I want to talk 491 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: about Elon as he is exiting his role in the 492 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: White House. Remember early in the Trump administration, I said, 493 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: for the first time since Trump came on the scene, 494 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm hearing one name more than his and it's Elon. 495 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: Elon got mentioned more within earshot every day than Trump. 496 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: He's leaving now. But the way that's being treated by 497 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: most media drives me crazy. Anyway, hour two, pound on 498 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: their stupid heads. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. 499 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: To pound on their stupid head heads. But I'm the 500 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: man of peace and will not. Today's freedom loving quote 501 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,239 Speaker 1: of the day from John Philpot Current, who is an 502 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: Irish politician and orator back in the seventeen eighteen hundreds. 503 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: Really an amazing guy. Sometimes when I have a little time, 504 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: I'll figure out who the freedom loving quote of the 505 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: day quota exactly is, and read about them anyway. The quote, 506 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: and this will sound familiar, exists in several different forms. 507 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man 508 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: is eternal vigilance. Clearly unequivocally true. You want liberty, the 509 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: cost is eternal vigilance. Now he was an amazing man 510 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: of courage, great orator, crusader for freedom, et cetera. And 511 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: then in looking at his biography, I came across the 512 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: final part bitterness in his final years. His last days 513 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: were embittered by domestic troubles and by political disappointment and despair. Quote, 514 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: everything I see disgusts and depresses me. I look back 515 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: at the streaming of blood for so many years, and 516 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: everything else everywhere relapse into its former degradation. So that's 517 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: that he moved into the old man Yells a clouds 518 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: phase of his life. And how do you avoid that? 519 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: I was upset about something yesterday and I thought, I 520 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: can't live the rest of my life disappointed by mankind. 521 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: I can't let me do that. Let me finish the description. 522 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: So everything everywhere relapsed into its former degradation. France rechained 523 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: Spain again, saddled for the priests in Ireland like a 524 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: bisbastinadoed elephant, kneeling to receive the paltry rider, and a 525 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: few days before his death, at the mention of Irish politics, 526 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: he hung his head and burst into tears. So how 527 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: do you avoid that, because there is a I mean, 528 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: I could make the same arguments easily about the United 529 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: States and the direction we're headed and be miserable the 530 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: rest of my life. Oh yeah, to me, be miserable 531 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: that that doesn't help anybody. To me, that's I will 532 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: tell you the answer to that question, which I happen 533 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: to have. The battle for liberty is never ending, and 534 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: the front moves back and forth. And maybe John philpop Kerrant, 535 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: in the prime of his life, had moved the front 536 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: line further toward the goal of liberty, and late in 537 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: his life it had retreated. But he done his part. 538 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: He fought his battles, and now he has to trust 539 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: the next generations to fight theirs. That's just the way 540 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: it works. I know this has taking up all Mailbag's time, 541 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: but so I'm reading monocham Began's autobiography and then listening 542 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: to another book about him. He Prime Minister Israel, won 543 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: the Nobel Peace Prize blah blah blah blah blah. Anyway, 544 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: nineteen seventies primarily uh yeah, but he fought his whole 545 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: life for jewelry and the jew's not jewels, jewelry, jewelry rings. Anyway, 546 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: he spent the last many years of his life just 547 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: hold up in his house, depressed, miserable that he that 548 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: you know, it didn't matter failed. What are you going 549 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: to do? People don't listen to me. I just and 550 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: I thought, God, your whole life, but your last who 551 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: wants to spend like the last ten years of their 552 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: lives miserable about the state of mankind? And I thought, 553 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: if it could happen to him, towering intellect and men 554 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: brave as, how do you avoid that? And a lot 555 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: of old people. I mean, it's like the it's the cliche, right, 556 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: and old guy sitting there in his couch watching Fox News, 557 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: angry at the world. I don't want to spend all 558 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 1: day like that. How do you avoid that? I think 559 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: you you just and listen. I'm lecturing me, folks, not you. 560 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: I think you'd say what I just said. That things 561 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: EBB and flow. All you can do is do your best, 562 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: and you know it's the cruelty of high expectations. You 563 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: may progress and you're certain that that progress will remain 564 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: and the only thing in front of you is more progress, 565 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: and that's just not the nature of mankind. Yeah right, well, uh, 566 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: you know, speaking of the nature of mankind, obviously you 567 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: got two examples we've just mentioned of like very smart 568 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: driven people who couldn't avoid these sitting there watching Fox 569 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: News being angry syndrome. Yeah, as it were, Oh god, 570 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: dang it, it's just h If John Philpott Current had 571 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: seen Fox News, he would have said, why are demons 572 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: speaking to me from a box? Because it was the 573 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: eighteen I see your point. Yes, anyway, so maybe we'll 574 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: do mailbag next hour. It is quite amusing. There are 575 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: so many big stories. If you're just tuning in, you 576 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: haven't heard. The Court of International Trade has ruled, and 577 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: that's a US court, by the way, has said no 578 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: this tariff stuff. No, no, we're not letting it happen. 579 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: The tariff thing might be over what maybe So if 580 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,240 Speaker 1: you missed this segment with the podcast Armstrong and Getty 581 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:38,240 Speaker 1: on demand, Armstrong and Getty
