<v Speaker 1>SEEZ and your It's a dimly lit room deep within

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. Is

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>it already Thursday? The short weeks hit fly by Today

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>we're under the tutelage of our general manager. I warned you,

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I warned you. I warned you. I warned you as

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>our general That's why wait, I've warned you. I'll tell

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you what I warned you about after I get done

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>saying I warned you, our general manager this morning. The

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Court of International Trade. Oh, only one major radio show,

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Slide Podcast, told you about the Court of International Trade

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>a week or two ago. You probably tuned out because

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>it was a fairly dull segment buyers standards. But it

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>was necessary. It was dullassary, It was vegetable, dull, yet necessary,

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:35.039
<v Speaker 1>dul dulassary. The Court of International Trade has said, no,

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the President doesn't have emergency powers to levy all these tariffs.

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>That all is done. Whoa way to hang on the agreements,

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.199
<v Speaker 1>does sum in progress some allegedly what all the tariff

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>stuff is off. First of all, we got to use

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the term dolossary more often. We might even have to

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>set aside a segment a day now, the dolossary segment.

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>It's dull, but it's very important. As an American, you

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>should know this exactly. Let's consider that it's the eating

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>your vegetables. Finish that and then we can have a

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 1>cookie or something. Yeah, two things on that one. From

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.119
<v Speaker 1>the very beginning, it's been astounding to me that one man,

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 1>not Trump, just any one man could rattle world economy

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that way with his own personal decisions and then wake

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 1>up in the morning and think, nah, it should be

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and five percent or never mind. I mean,

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>one guy being able to do that just doesn't seem

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>like the right system periodically, given the fact that a

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>tariff is a tax, plain and simple. It's attacks on imports.

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:43.119
<v Speaker 1>And then secondly, Congress has the right to tax, though

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>they have like virtually all of their other rights and

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>duties given them over to the executive branch. Because they're

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of cowards. They are cards. They don't want

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 1>to take a vote on anything. The other part being, hey,

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>international Trade Court, with your three judges, what were you

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>busy on the left the last two months? That was

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>more important than this? Why did it take care get

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>this long to get around to this? They were getting

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>their ducks in a row, good American made ducks, by

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the way, not for it. You can't get parts for

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>them now. They stick to the bottom of the pond,

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:24.239
<v Speaker 1>right exactly, their toxic Yeah. The Court of International Trade

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 1>blocked one of the Trump administration's most aud assertions of

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>executive power under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventy seven, and they said, in short, the Court

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>does not read the Emergency Act to confer such unbounded

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>authority and sets aside the challenge tariffs imposed there under.

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>That goes now to the circuit courts of appeals and

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>then the Supreme Court. This is not some sort of

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's it's the first and last Court of

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>International Trade. It can be appealed and certainly will be.

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Of course, the media, mainstream media, and they're covering of

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 1>this is all about Trump didn't get what he wants,

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>So we're happy with this court ruling, even though the

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>mainstream media is left and lefties have been talking about

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>tariffs as they answer to everything my whole life. So

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.839
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of a reverse thingy they don't they care

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 1>more about Trump losing than the things that they generally

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>like or don't like. And then also the other end

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>of it is in case well and every time Biden

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>trampled on the Constitution, they celebrated it, right, And the

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>other end of it is, in case you didn't know this,

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>almost every conserve real conservative that I like didn't like

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 1>the idea of a president being able to have this

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>much power. Oh right, yeah, I mean, and y'all should agree.

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine, because there will be a Democrat in

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the White House at some point or another party because

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party is in terrible shape. But and if

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 1>they wield this sort of you know, crazy executive power

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>to tax and just throw economies into turmoil, I mean,

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 1>President AOC. Jack has brought up this example before. President

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>AOC could declare income inequality a national emergency in the

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>way that Trump has declared trade imbalances as a national emergency,

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and then President AOC could dictate enormous changes to the

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>economy and trade practices and whatever in the name of

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>income equality, or all kinds of things you would hate

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>around a climate emergency. Yeah, you get a bad hurricane

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>claim that's proof of climate change and all kinds of

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 1>crazy rules and laws, or the school shooting and you

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>decide clearly a national emergency, all kinds of things we

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>got to do on taking away guns. You're right, don't

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it right? There's lots of easy examples from the left

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you could use if you're going to be okay with

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 1>presidents and executive orders and using emergencies for their justification. Yeah,

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Trump's doing a lot of great stuff that I love.

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I've tried to make that very very clear. But we

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>had a lot yesterday, a very long list yesterday if

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 1>you missed it, but Trump, I'm sorry. Oh, the founding

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Papas were absolutely right. They knew you, not you necessarily,

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>but you know, people they want a king. They want

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>a king because they think, wow, a king could really

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 1>get the stuff done that I want them to do.

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>But here's the problem. And if I have to tell

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 1>you the problem, you should go back to I don't know,

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>fifth grade civics class that or read a little bit

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of history or something. That sort of executive power is abused.

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what percentage of the time one hundred. It's tempting,

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>but you don't want it again. I ask, hey, International

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.919
<v Speaker 1>Court of Trade, Court of International Trade? How did this

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>not r I as I refer to it. How did

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>this not rise to the top of your to do

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>box above? Wait? No, no, we got to decide whether

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Belgian yarn falls under the rules were American yarn? No?

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Pass on all that stuff and get to the global

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 1>trade has been changed for all of history or not.

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, you're just gonna pee all over Belgian yarn.

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's see it. That's why you're not on the Court

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>of International Trade. I'm looking forward to it. Just came

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>across this. I just saw our friend Tim Sandifer retweeted it.

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>We have Tim Sanderfer, a great legal mind, on the

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>show later this morning to talk about a number of things,

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>including Supreme Court releases their most controversial rulings in June,

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>which starts here in a couple of days, and so

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>we got that to look forward to. Any who. He

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>retweeted a George Will column from today from Washington Post

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>that says the Trump administration is the most progressive in

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>US history in terms of its politics. So maybe We'll

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>take a look wi to see what that means. I

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know what that means. From the headline, we should

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>on this it is Thursday, May twenty ninth, year twenty

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, or Armstrong and getting with this program. I

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>think he probably just means using aggressive executive power to

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>reshape the country in one particular, you know vision. All right,

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>let's speak in the show officially now. According to FCC

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>rules and regulations, lay in truth bombs on you one

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>after another. Here we go at Mark, like to stay

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>on topic here, But squirrel? Squirrel? Where squirrel? Riley Green's like,

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>who invited Rocky? He can get in, he can get out,

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>he can go wherever he wants. Oh, look at that,

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.240
<v Speaker 1>he's in the bullpen with the guys down there. Yeah

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>he is, Well, what's Tyler halting? Come? Everybody?

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 2>All?

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Tyler gets left, He's and Wright he's out. But not

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 1>squirrels and a squirrel in the field at a baseball game.

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>That was our opening clip. Delightful, absolutely so. Tariff policy

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.199
<v Speaker 1>and obscure court rulings and squirrels on baseball face. That's

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 1>the Armstrong and Getty show. Squirrel you know you got

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and sixty two damn games right based on

0:08:55.559 --> 0:09:00.319
<v Speaker 1>the field, It's right, exactly need more squirrels. You know what,

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Chuck's beavers, whatever, any sort of and looks like a

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 1>giraffe is running across centerfield. Will that thing can really move? Well,

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.559
<v Speaker 1>it would be awesome in a boring late May game

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 1>that is meaningless a giraffe anything? Or or how about streakers?

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Whatever happened to streakers? Streak? We're surrounded by porn in

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 1>the modern world. Whatever happened to drop and trow and

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 1>running around a base? You know what I think it is?

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I remember from the seventies streakers they were always very fit.

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I think we're all too fat. And what's the point. Oh,

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>there's a naked person porn everywhere. You're right, it's not shocking.

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 1>You're right about that. So we got to get to

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 1>some headlines coming up. We got mail bag this hour,

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.959
<v Speaker 1>more news of the day. That is a giant story

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that for the most part, the whole tariff thing is

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 1>over TFN. But I suspect the appeals and Supreme courts

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 1>will uphold the ruling of the he scrolls down, reminding

0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 1>himself Court of International Trade. I am very unhappy be

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 1>with how much glee so much of the media is

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 1>taking in Elon Musk stepping away from his government role.

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 1>That's not good. It's not good. Yay, he failed. What

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:19.719
<v Speaker 1>why are you happy about? Simultaneously, and this shows the

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>depth of their stupidity and hypocrisy, Simultaneously they're thrilled to

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.319
<v Speaker 1>report he has problems with the big beautiful bill. Right,

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>what are those problems, morons? It's that the government has

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 1>bloated and overspends, which you've been pushing your entire careers.

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>But no, now you're happy because it's criticizing Trump. Seriously,

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>these people have the intelligence of goldfish. I think. More importantly,

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.560
<v Speaker 1>they have the integrity of goldfish. Well, goldfish might be

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>very high integrity. I don't actually know. I see your point, though,

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>they have little or no integrity compared to gold vis.

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Guess whatever animal metaphor you prefer. Okay, so we got

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 1>lots of the ways.

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 3>Stay here, Hey, somebody's run out on the field, some

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.839
<v Speaker 3>goofball and a half and a red shirt. Now he

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 3>takes off the shirt. He's running down the middle by

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.199
<v Speaker 3>the fifty he's at the thirty. He's bear chested and

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 3>banging his chest. Now he runs the opposite away, he

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 3>runs with the fifty, he runs the forty.

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>The guy is drunk. But there he goes there twenty.

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>They're chasing him. They're not gonna get him.

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Breathing his arms, bear chested, somebody's topping there.

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Here comes the blue coke. Oh they got him.

0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.959
<v Speaker 3>Here comes the Oh they tackle him at the forty

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 3>yard line.

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that was the most exciting thing that happened tonight.

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I'd tell you what. That was a great call on

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>your pump. That was a great call. No, man, he

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>deserves a seat at the right hand of God for

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.960
<v Speaker 1>that alone. Presidential Medal of Freedom. That's my suggestion. Great

0:11:47.000 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>stay here. The last living grandson of President John Tyler

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>has died, Yes he has. The reason that is significant

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.240
<v Speaker 1>is that has often been used as an example of

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>how few generations you can go back in time, as

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:17.719
<v Speaker 1>his grandfather was born in seventeen ninety, you know, at

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the time of George Washington of the United States, was

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:27.079
<v Speaker 1>born when George Washington was president, and his grandson, last

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.079
<v Speaker 1>grandson just died. Doesn't take many generations to go really

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.440
<v Speaker 1>far back in time, right, especially if you've got a

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 1>family that knocks out kids really really old, which is

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>what happened, and it has him a little bit later but

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>in life than normal. But yeah, you can jump back

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.960
<v Speaker 1>pretty fast. It's interesting. Yeah, the point certainly remains. Although

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 1>in the case of the Tyler family, President Tyler himself

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>was sixty three when he had a son, and that

0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.839
<v Speaker 1>son was seventy five when he had a son. Really, Okay,

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 1>well this is an extreme example, then yes, because I

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 1>consider having a kid at seventy five damn near criminal.

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Well that is seventy five's literally three generations. So dude

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 1>himself took up three generations, so we are still a

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>young country. The point remains, but it's not quite as

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 1>amazing as it sounds. That's a decent point. Taking the

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>magic out of things, that's what I do. No, that's

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>not interesting. And here's magic out of things. No, that's

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>not funny. And here's why. No, you shouldn't be happy.

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>And here's why I'm strong and getty. Taking the magic

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.320
<v Speaker 1>out of things. He heard a headline that fills you

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>with joy or awe, here's why you're wrong, stomping the

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>magic out of life. I'm strong in Getty Show. Speaking

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>of Witch, here's your first headline. AI could wipe out

0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 1>half of all entry level, white colored jobs and spy

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>unemployment by ten to twenty percent within five years. Warren's

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:10.079
<v Speaker 1>the CEO of AI Giant Anthropic. Yeah, man, I didn't read.

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 1>There's a piece in the New Yorker where a leading

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.960
<v Speaker 1>AI expert who's on the side of it's not gonna

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 1>be near as big a deal as you think writes

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 1>an essay, and then a leading AI expert who says

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 1>this is going to change everything. Hold on, buckle up,

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 1>writes an essay. And I haven't read it yet. I

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 1>guess it's it's it's pretty pretty well thought out on

0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>both sides. But one point I heard the other day

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 1>is one out of ten workers does some sort of

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>driving job. One out of ten, So whether truck drivers, Uber,

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, Amazon delivery, just all kinds of different things. Bus. Yeah.

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I could go on and on, but you could probably

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 1>use your own imagination driving. I mean that alone, if

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>self driving comes along, you disrupt ten percent of jobs,

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>that would be huge, and it's going to be significantly

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 1>more than just driving. So this chap told Axios that

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>companies and the government must stop sugar coating the threat

0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and prepare for mass disruption and tech law and finance.

0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 1>As my kid is halfway through law school, or a

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.360
<v Speaker 1>third of the way, most people are unaware of this

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>is about to happen, he said. It sounds crazy. Another headline,

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Marco Rubio, Secretary of State among other duties, announced last

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 1>evening that the US will begin revoking visas of Chinese students,

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 1>including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party. You're

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 1>studying in critical fields. I know this is headlines and

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 1>we're not supposed to go deep on these, but back

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>to the AI thing briefly. It just was just thinking,

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 1>ruminating about it. If it's going to disrupt the entire world, yeah,

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 1>we can take a minute. It's just ruminating while you

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 1>were talking. So are people who have like school age

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:54.440
<v Speaker 1>kids like I do. Ten years from now, are twenty

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 1>something kids going to be living in our house as

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.000
<v Speaker 1>we all just try to figure out the way the

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 1>new world works and what they're gonna do or how

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna do it, or what government program is going

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 1>to pay them to stay home or oh my god,

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 1>there is a significant chance that that is indeed, we will.

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Holy crap. And by significant, I don't mean and I'm

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.320
<v Speaker 1>not an expert in the field obviously, but by significant,

0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean like ten percent. I mean like forty

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.800
<v Speaker 1>re emphasizing that the actual experts differ in the timeline

0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 1>on this, but there is a decent chunk of them

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that think it's coming really soon. Yeah. Yeah. As we

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 1>mentioned earlier, if you're just tuning in the US Court

0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 1>of International Trade, that is a thing blocked Trump from

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 1>imposing all of his more severe tariffs on imports from

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 1>countries like China and Mexico. Canada Justice Apartment says it'll peel.

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.760
<v Speaker 1>It goes up to the circuit course and then the

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court, But for now, all the big tariff stuff

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.720
<v Speaker 1>is off. It is off. Another headline that I like

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 1>is it looks like Trump told net and Yahoo know,

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.760
<v Speaker 1>we ain't going to help you bomb Iran, and don't

0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>you bomb Iran because we're close to a piece deal

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.439
<v Speaker 1>and he waved off Netan Yaho nuts. Whether or not

0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Israel acts alone, we don't know, And whether we are

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 1>indeed close to a piece deal, it's tough to say,

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.280
<v Speaker 1>because Trump usually comes off very positive. Yeah. No, doubt

0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 1>about that. We got a lot more. I hope you

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.719
<v Speaker 1>can stay here, Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 2>But the paper itself, she was citing real books, but

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 2>the quotes did not exist. The page numbers were the

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 2>citing page seven hundred in the book only had three

0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 2>hundred pages.

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>So that's a professor on the lead with Jake Tapper

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 1>on CNN talking about a student who used a AI

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 1>on their paper. Well, that's that makes the news. I

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.159
<v Speaker 1>have a feeling that here at the end of the

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:51.800
<v Speaker 1>school year about eighty to ninety percent of papers have

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:56.640
<v Speaker 1>at least used AI for something, if not a lot

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 1>of the paper. I would be shocked if that wasn't

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:00.959
<v Speaker 1>the case. Well, I think he'd be a fool if

0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.679
<v Speaker 1>you didn't use it for a list of good sources

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and or proposed structure for the paper. I'm in the

0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 1>habit thanks to you bringing it up now, of I

0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.840
<v Speaker 1>go to it before I go to Google for most things,

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and it is so good and thorough, it's just absolutely amazing.

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I've got it on the front page of my phone

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:19.840
<v Speaker 1>now because it's my go to if I got a

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>question about anything. It's just so good at getting there.

0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.199
<v Speaker 1>But to that point of cheating. You brought this up

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:31.400
<v Speaker 1>last week, this hilarious story of this Harvard professor writing

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a paper about dishonesty in which she stole and or

0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:39.000
<v Speaker 1>made up facts. She did both. I'm sorry, I must quittle.

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.320
<v Speaker 1>She is one of the leading scholars in the field.

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 1>This is multiple major projects that have attracted huge attention

0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:51.400
<v Speaker 1>through the years she was making. This came out today.

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:58.400
<v Speaker 1>She was making at Harvard Francesca Gino a million dollars

0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.960
<v Speaker 1>a year. She was one of their highest paid faculty.

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.200
<v Speaker 1>She was a giant in the field. She was making

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:07.120
<v Speaker 1>a million dollars a year as a behavioral scientist at

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Harvard Business School, and she got fired for fabricating data

0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 1>on her studies focused on dishonesty, which is just too much.

0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:26.440
<v Speaker 1>A million dollars a year, These freaking frauds. Yeah, yeah, well,

0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 1>and she's she's counter student claiming all sorts of stuff.

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 1>But you've got these rogue rogues, is that the right word.

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 1>These crusading scholars who go through all sorts of scholarship,

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:44.119
<v Speaker 1>and they use algorithmic analysis of the data to find

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 1>suspicious patterns, and when they find it, they dig into

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 1>it further and they've identified all sorts of fraudulent academia

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 1>or academic work. You know, you combine that with the

0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:01.399
<v Speaker 1>utter ridiculousness of the so called soft sciences, as James

0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Lindsay and Helen Pluckrowse and Peter Bogosien pointed out famously

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 1>a few years ago, how much well, okay, I'm sorry.

0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>And then to finish the delicious stew of stupid, you

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:18.120
<v Speaker 1>combine that with all the woke crap that's being taught

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:23.160
<v Speaker 1>on campuses, the federal subsidies to higher education, which has

0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>made it suffocatingly expensive. I mean, our university system could

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 1>not be more diseased. And it used to be the

0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:33.959
<v Speaker 1>envy of the world. Man, Harvard is to fallen in

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 1>terms of the way people think about Harvard a lot

0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:41.080
<v Speaker 1>in the last five to ten years, for a whole

0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 1>bunch of different reasons. This is the first professor that's

0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 1>with tenure that's been fired since the forties. That alone

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:50.760
<v Speaker 1>is probably a problem. You're gonna tell me there's not

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:56.680
<v Speaker 1>one professor in the last eighty years that has deserved

0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:00.760
<v Speaker 1>to be fired. Okay. I think there's it's a great

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:06.640
<v Speaker 1>truth there, and it's still forming in my head. Harvard

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:10.520
<v Speaker 1>has gone from a place that achieved greatness because it

0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 1>was so academically rigorous, to a place that has preserved

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:19.359
<v Speaker 1>its greatness by pretending nothing's wrong. So I think in

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the years that built Harvard, which is like the year

0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:27.119
<v Speaker 1>sixteen eighty on, they would have heaved professors out for

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:31.400
<v Speaker 1>being fraudulent or dishonest right and left. That's how they

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:35.479
<v Speaker 1>became great. But now that they are great, to protect

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:39.760
<v Speaker 1>that greatness, it's another facet or it's like a tangent

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:43.840
<v Speaker 1>to the iron law of bureaucracy. Harvard is now a

0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>giant self protecting bureaucracy. The vast majority of people there

0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 1>do not get up in the morning with the aim

0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 1>of pursuing academic excellence. They get up in the morning

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 1>with the aim of protecting Harvard. I know this. First

0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:00.480
<v Speaker 1>of all, this is hurtful to sever of people. I

0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:03.919
<v Speaker 1>know I hope aren't listening, but and I know what

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 1>their response would be. I gotta believe the vast majority

0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:13.320
<v Speaker 1>of published papers are crap, useless crap that's only for

0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 1>each other, and nobody reads we know statistically that's true.

0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:20.439
<v Speaker 1>Nobody ever cites or reads them. It's just it's like

0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 1>a it's like an internal make it justify each other's

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:32.159
<v Speaker 1>existence organization that they've built. Correct. Yeah, well, you're so

0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:35.080
<v Speaker 1>fond of good Heart's law, speaking of the great laws

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:38.879
<v Speaker 1>that govern the universe, where if a measure becomes a standard,

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>it ceases to be it ceases to be valid as

0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>a measure. Yeah. Well, if I've got to publish what

0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 1>happened for papers a year? I have gone from a

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.639
<v Speaker 1>guy who published papers because they ought to be published

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:52.199
<v Speaker 1>because there's good research and data and people should know

0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 1>this stuff too. Ah crap, I gotta do four papers,

0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 1>all right? What am I gonna do this week? But

0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:01.439
<v Speaker 1>this particular paper that one launched her getting investigated and

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 1>losing her million dollar a year job. She had done

0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:12.360
<v Speaker 1>a study claiming that requiring people to sign an honesty

0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:15.920
<v Speaker 1>pledge at the beginning of a form, rather than the end,

0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:19.080
<v Speaker 1>boosted honest responses, which I actually think probably is true.

0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 1>You made me say again, so have you ever I've

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:25.800
<v Speaker 1>filled out tons of papers. I'm sure you have at

0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the end where you swear that everything you just said

0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 1>was true. Oh yeah, okay, putting that at the beginning

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 1>of the of the form makes it more likely or honest.

0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll but that's true. That makes sense to me, makes

0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 1>perfect sense. How doing you do it at the end

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 1>is kind of odd? Actually, yeah, yeah, she a number

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 1>of her studies were really interesting in thought provoking. They're

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:55.120
<v Speaker 1>about dishonesty and and you know, I read the descriptions

0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 1>of them and thought, wow, that's that's really disappointing that

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 1>she may have faked up the dad, because that's a

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 1>really important revelation about humankind. But also it's also kind

0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 1>of funny though, as we were just saying, these papers

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:14.040
<v Speaker 1>they disappear into the world of justifying each other's existences.

0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:16.359
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't mean anything to the rest of the humanity.

0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:18.880
<v Speaker 1>So the fact that you get fired for you know,

0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:22.920
<v Speaker 1>copying somebody else's who cares. I mean, ultimately, it doesn't

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:25.200
<v Speaker 1>make any difference unless you're gonna tear the whole thing down,

0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:27.720
<v Speaker 1>which I'd be all for. And to remake a point

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:32.400
<v Speaker 1>have made before, the idea that occasionally these woke professors

0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:37.159
<v Speaker 1>in your fake fields of study, gender studies, you know, ethnics, whatever,

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:41.840
<v Speaker 1>that they plagiarized. Of course they plagiarized. The entire field

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:47.640
<v Speaker 1>is repeating the cult's talking points. That's how you become

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:52.560
<v Speaker 1>a giant in the field. By repeating the doctrine of woke.

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 1>So of course they're plagiary. They're not supposed to innovate.

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:58.920
<v Speaker 1>That's the last thing they're supposed to do and has

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>been well document And it also, if you go against

0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the prevailing narrative on whatever topic it is, you got

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:09.000
<v Speaker 1>no chance. You got to go along with the prevailing narrative.

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 1>See climate change as an example. There's not a chance

0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get anywhere being a scientist who says, you know,

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:18.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm not exactly sure it is getting that warm that fast.

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:20.679
<v Speaker 1>That's no money, No, there's not. That's not gonna get

0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you anywhere. I had one other thing to say about this.

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to point out what was it? And I

0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:27.560
<v Speaker 1>publish the paper on truth and mine. I don't know.

0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't pop back in it. Iron Lobby got good

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 1>hearts long so on a completely different topic. I'm trying

0:25:34.040 --> 0:25:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to find the numbers I had the other day. It's

0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:39.479
<v Speaker 1>probably more trouble. I I did want to point this,

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 1>that's such a progressive thing. Though the other people shouldn't lie.

0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 1>It's very important people be honest. I, however, am so smart.

0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:53.439
<v Speaker 1>I can handle the you know, the fudging around the edges.

0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:56.199
<v Speaker 1>But only people like me can do that. That's the

0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:59.720
<v Speaker 1>exact you know, free speech. I can determine what speech

0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:02.439
<v Speaker 1>should be. Okay, not on because my vote, my motives

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:04.640
<v Speaker 1>are so pure, My motives are pure, and my judgment

0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:08.240
<v Speaker 1>is so good. Yeah. Anybody who says that I immediately

0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:14.239
<v Speaker 1>know their motives suck and their judgment is worse. On

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 1>a similar topic, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, that's one

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of like four titles he has announced Wednesday evening that

0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:24.399
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration would work to aggressively revoke visas of

0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Chinese students, including those with ties to the Chinese Communists Party,

0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:31.160
<v Speaker 1>are those who are studying in critical fields. He did

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:34.040
<v Speaker 1>not nail down exactly what it meant to have quote

0:26:34.119 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 1>unquote ties to the Communist Party or what the critical

0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:40.040
<v Speaker 1>fields were, although I think we can guess well enough

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:43.439
<v Speaker 1>at what those things mean. A couple of quick points.

0:26:43.520 --> 0:26:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Number one mentioned earlier. All right, I guess it was

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:53.400
<v Speaker 1>yesterday that foreign students make up less than five percent

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:58.880
<v Speaker 1>of American university students, but they pay twenty eight percent

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:04.040
<v Speaker 1>of the tuition. They are a cash cow. No offense

0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 1>to Indian students with sacred cows Hinduism, et cetera. But

0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:13.240
<v Speaker 1>you're our sacred cow. You're certainly our cash cow. There.

0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 1>They are a huge cash grab and so many, many,

0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:20.639
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of thousands of American students can't get into the

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:23.800
<v Speaker 1>so called elite universities because they're busy sucking cash out

0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:29.360
<v Speaker 1>of the rich foreigners, including many many Chinese students. These

0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Chinese students are either Chinese agents or Chinese nationals who

0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:41.520
<v Speaker 1>are susceptible to being forced to become Chinese agents. If

0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Xi Jinping, the CCP, ever, decides that they would be useful,

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:48.240
<v Speaker 1>that's second part is risk. Yeah, that second part is tough.

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, if you're here as a spy

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:52.639
<v Speaker 1>and that was your purpose to come here, obviously, if

0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 1>we can boot you out, we ought to boot you out.

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 1>But if you're here and you're just seriously wanting to

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:02.440
<v Speaker 1>study whatever and you like America, just fine. But the

0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:06.159
<v Speaker 1>Communist Party says, hey, your your mom is going to

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:08.920
<v Speaker 1>lose her job unless you take a picture of these

0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:14.560
<v Speaker 1>forms that you have access to. I feel researcher with us.

0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel bad for that person. Well, feeling bad is

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:22.120
<v Speaker 1>no basis on which to conduct foreign policy. Sir, Wow,

0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:25.920
<v Speaker 1>grow up. Wow, now I hear you. It's definitely. It's

0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 1>a different situation, but one you have to be aware of.

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I've told a story one hundred times FBI counter intelligence

0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:33.480
<v Speaker 1>going on to a major college campus. Tell them the

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:37.840
<v Speaker 1>university president, your campus has Chinese agents all over the place,

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and he said, get off of my campus, you racists.

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:44.560
<v Speaker 1>That is the state of academia. It is an enormous,

0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 1>glaring weak spot for US national security. I don't doubt

0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:50.960
<v Speaker 1>for a bit that that is true. But what are

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 1>you going to ban every Chinese born student in America

0:28:56.520 --> 0:29:00.520
<v Speaker 1>from a whole bunch of different academic fields. You're going

0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to aggressively revoke visas of Chinese students, including those with

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:06.120
<v Speaker 1>ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Here those who are

0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:10.160
<v Speaker 1>studying criminal in critical fields here's and listen, there are

0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 1>subtleties to this, and I'm so yes, is the answer

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:15.640
<v Speaker 1>based on that last phrase or studying in critical fields?

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm making a bit of a maximalist argument here, partly,

0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, because of time limitations. But I don't recall

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 1>our educating young Nazis in rocketry program during the nineteen

0:29:27.640 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 1>thirties and forties. Perhaps I've forgotten about them. Now, our

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 1>relationship with or you know, young Russian students need to

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 1>understand nuclear arms in the fifties. Now, our relationship with

0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 1>China is more complex. But there's a real grain of

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 1>truth to that description. Yeah, comparison, you're right, there is.

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>That's interesting. We got mail bag on the way, so

0:29:48.680 --> 0:29:50.120
<v Speaker 1>much to talk about today. I hope you can stay

0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:59.120
<v Speaker 1>hear in an hour or two. I want to talk

0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:02.800
<v Speaker 1>about Elon as he is exiting his role in the

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 1>White House. Remember early in the Trump administration, I said,

0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:09.080
<v Speaker 1>for the first time since Trump came on the scene,

0:30:09.120 --> 0:30:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm hearing one name more than his and it's Elon.

0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Elon got mentioned more within earshot every day than Trump.

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:20.960
<v Speaker 1>He's leaving now. But the way that's being treated by

0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:26.280
<v Speaker 1>most media drives me crazy. Anyway, hour two, pound on

0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:29.400
<v Speaker 1>their stupid heads. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day.

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:34.160
<v Speaker 1>To pound on their stupid head heads. But I'm the

0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:37.400
<v Speaker 1>man of peace and will not. Today's freedom loving quote

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:39.239
<v Speaker 1>of the day from John Philpot Current, who is an

0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Irish politician and orator back in the seventeen eighteen hundreds.

0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Really an amazing guy. Sometimes when I have a little time,

0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll figure out who the freedom loving quote of the

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:52.800
<v Speaker 1>day quota exactly is, and read about them anyway. The quote,

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and this will sound familiar, exists in several different forms.

0:30:56.360 --> 0:31:00.480
<v Speaker 1>The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man

0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:08.840
<v Speaker 1>is eternal vigilance. Clearly unequivocally true. You want liberty, the

0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 1>cost is eternal vigilance. Now he was an amazing man

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:19.480
<v Speaker 1>of courage, great orator, crusader for freedom, et cetera. And

0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 1>then in looking at his biography, I came across the

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:27.120
<v Speaker 1>final part bitterness in his final years. His last days

0:31:27.120 --> 0:31:32.000
<v Speaker 1>were embittered by domestic troubles and by political disappointment and despair. Quote,

0:31:32.120 --> 0:31:35.640
<v Speaker 1>everything I see disgusts and depresses me. I look back

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:37.680
<v Speaker 1>at the streaming of blood for so many years, and

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:42.080
<v Speaker 1>everything else everywhere relapse into its former degradation. So that's

0:31:42.800 --> 0:31:45.840
<v Speaker 1>that he moved into the old man Yells a clouds

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:49.600
<v Speaker 1>phase of his life. And how do you avoid that?

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I was upset about something yesterday and I thought, I

0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:56.840
<v Speaker 1>can't live the rest of my life disappointed by mankind.

0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't let me do that. Let me finish the description.

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 1>So everything everywhere relapsed into its former degradation. France rechained

0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Spain again, saddled for the priests in Ireland like a

0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:13.720
<v Speaker 1>bisbastinadoed elephant, kneeling to receive the paltry rider, and a

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:16.080
<v Speaker 1>few days before his death, at the mention of Irish politics,

0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:19.520
<v Speaker 1>he hung his head and burst into tears. So how

0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:21.560
<v Speaker 1>do you avoid that, because there is a I mean,

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I could make the same arguments easily about the United

0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:27.160
<v Speaker 1>States and the direction we're headed and be miserable the

0:32:27.200 --> 0:32:30.760
<v Speaker 1>rest of my life. Oh yeah, to me, be miserable

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:34.440
<v Speaker 1>that that doesn't help anybody. To me, that's I will

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:36.560
<v Speaker 1>tell you the answer to that question, which I happen

0:32:36.600 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 1>to have. The battle for liberty is never ending, and

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the front moves back and forth. And maybe John philpop Kerrant,

0:32:50.400 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 1>in the prime of his life, had moved the front

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 1>line further toward the goal of liberty, and late in

0:32:57.760 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 1>his life it had retreated. But he done his part.

0:33:01.360 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>He fought his battles, and now he has to trust

0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the next generations to fight theirs. That's just the way

0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:09.880
<v Speaker 1>it works. I know this has taking up all Mailbag's time,

0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:15.920
<v Speaker 1>but so I'm reading monocham Began's autobiography and then listening

0:33:15.960 --> 0:33:20.080
<v Speaker 1>to another book about him. He Prime Minister Israel, won

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the Nobel Peace Prize blah blah blah blah blah. Anyway,

0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventies primarily uh yeah, but he fought his whole

0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:36.080
<v Speaker 1>life for jewelry and the jew's not jewels, jewelry, jewelry rings. Anyway,

0:33:36.360 --> 0:33:38.640
<v Speaker 1>he spent the last many years of his life just

0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:41.520
<v Speaker 1>hold up in his house, depressed, miserable that he that

0:33:41.680 --> 0:33:44.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, it didn't matter failed. What are you going

0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:46.520
<v Speaker 1>to do? People don't listen to me. I just and

0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought, God, your whole life, but your last who

0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:51.280
<v Speaker 1>wants to spend like the last ten years of their

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:55.480
<v Speaker 1>lives miserable about the state of mankind? And I thought,

0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:58.560
<v Speaker 1>if it could happen to him, towering intellect and men

0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:02.480
<v Speaker 1>brave as, how do you avoid that? And a lot

0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 1>of old people. I mean, it's like the it's the cliche, right,

0:34:05.840 --> 0:34:08.200
<v Speaker 1>and old guy sitting there in his couch watching Fox News,

0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:10.200
<v Speaker 1>angry at the world. I don't want to spend all

0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:13.839
<v Speaker 1>day like that. How do you avoid that? I think

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:18.239
<v Speaker 1>you you just and listen. I'm lecturing me, folks, not you.

0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I think you'd say what I just said. That things

0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:25.880
<v Speaker 1>EBB and flow. All you can do is do your best,

0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know it's the cruelty of high expectations. You

0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:33.920
<v Speaker 1>may progress and you're certain that that progress will remain

0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:36.799
<v Speaker 1>and the only thing in front of you is more progress,

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and that's just not the nature of mankind. Yeah right, well, uh,

0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:43.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, speaking of the nature of mankind, obviously you

0:34:43.400 --> 0:34:47.080
<v Speaker 1>got two examples we've just mentioned of like very smart

0:34:47.880 --> 0:34:52.319
<v Speaker 1>driven people who couldn't avoid these sitting there watching Fox

0:34:52.480 --> 0:34:56.920
<v Speaker 1>News being angry syndrome. Yeah, as it were, Oh god,

0:34:57.600 --> 0:35:02.400
<v Speaker 1>dang it, it's just h If John Philpott Current had

0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:04.920
<v Speaker 1>seen Fox News, he would have said, why are demons

0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:08.319
<v Speaker 1>speaking to me from a box? Because it was the

0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 1>eighteen I see your point. Yes, anyway, so maybe we'll

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 1>do mailbag next hour. It is quite amusing. There are

0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:17.920
<v Speaker 1>so many big stories. If you're just tuning in, you

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:20.960
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard. The Court of International Trade has ruled, and

0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:23.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a US court, by the way, has said no

0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:26.120
<v Speaker 1>this tariff stuff. No, no, we're not letting it happen.

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:30.160
<v Speaker 1>The tariff thing might be over what maybe So if
