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

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

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: and Jack Kid and No Armstrong and Eddy.

4
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: The reality is it's the most complex supply chain in

5
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: the world and they're able to make him at one

6
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: thousand dollars is because of the supply chain that's really

7
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 2: been built over the last decade. You build that in

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: the US, there'll be thirty five.

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 3: Hundred dollar iPhones.

10
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: It will take Apple thirty billion dollars and three years

11
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: to move just ten percent of the supply chain to

12
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: the US.

13
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 4: Who is that giant tongue human dan ives tech head,

14
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 4: whatever that is. I had trouble understanding him.

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: Um okay.

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 4: That party through it at the end because I was

17
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 4: about to say, oh, well, yeah, if starting today you

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 4: had to make iPhones in the United States, they would

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 4: cost thirty five hundred dollars. This is not hard to believe.

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: But there'd be all kinds of adjustments.

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 4: Around a variety of things to make it as cheap

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 4: as possible that I'm sure Apple would come up with something.

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 4: No doubt they'd be more expensive than I don't know,

24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: child slave labor in China or whatever we're using to

25
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 4: get our BRANCT. You can't beat slave labor for cheap goods, folks,

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: there's just no denying that. Oh my god, our tech

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 4: industries have shown us the way it would be substantially

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 4: more expensive closer to the big number than the current

29
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 4: number from everything I've read. But yeah, well that is

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: take many years again, as he mentioned, so we got

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: some people that are going to some boosters for this

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 4: plan you'll hear from in just a second. Not a

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 4: booster David Sanger in the New York Times today. Of course,

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 4: he's a lefty, so he's going to be against this.

35
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 4: So are a lot of the conservative economics I've seen,

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 4: like practically all of them. But this whole Chinese tariff

37
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: thing that kicked in last night on China one hundred

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 4: and four percent tariff on Chinese goods coming into the

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 4: United States starting at midnight last night, And as David

40
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 4: Sanger points out in the New York Times today, that

41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: is everything from car parts to iPhones to practically everything

42
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 4: that's on the shelf at Walmart or on Amazon's app.

43
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: That's a lot of stuff.

44
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 4: And if he points out, if you remember how quickly

45
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 4: the supply chain problems showed up during COVID. You have

46
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: a little bit of knowledge of how short the turnaround

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 4: is on shelves. Shelves were empty at Target and Walmart,

48
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 4: like within days when the whole COVID thing hits. So

49
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 4: it's not going to take long before these tariff things

50
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 4: kicked in, or the tariff kicks in and you're paying more,

51
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 4: or there's just not stuff there. I think it'll be

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 4: pretty noticeable, like next week.

53
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 5: One of the great developments of the modern world, which

54
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 5: has saved all of us money is the just in

55
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 5: time delivery system, the computerized inventory systems. You don't need

56
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 5: gigantic warehouses full of say, paper towels. You know, in

57
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 5: case there's a problem, you've got six months worth of

58
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 5: paper towels. As a retailer, No, you just you order

59
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 5: them when you need them, they show up just before

60
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 5: you need them.

61
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 3: You put them on the shelves.

62
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 5: On the other hand, if there's a big disruption, obviously

63
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 5: there's a big disruption. I just I believe, as I

64
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: indicated last hour, with pretty good certainty, not great, that

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 5: with the exception of China, all the trade war stuff

66
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 5: is going to be very short lived. Now the China stuff,

67
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 5: which I admit is a huge issue in and of itself.

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: I have no idea how long this lasts.

69
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: Well wow, And.

70
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 4: If it lasts very long, I mean you talk about

71
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: the heart of Trump's voting base, that crowd that shops

72
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 4: at Walmart, and if they start seeing things much more

73
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 4: expensive or not there quickly, it'd be interesting to watch

74
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: how the politics plays out on this. So what people's

75
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: tolerance for pain is with the belief that it's worth

76
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: it for long term manufacturing coming back, we make this

77
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 4: stuff here in the long run.

78
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. We all know that.

79
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, Donald Jay is in the White House thinking China,

80
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 5: you need us more than we need you, and Shijin

81
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 5: Ping is saying you need.

82
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: Us more than we need you. Let's get it on.

83
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting. One thing that David Sanger mentions in

84
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 4: this piece.

85
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: Is that.

86
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 4: There were all this happened. I mean, this is a

87
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: pretty big deal because China has retaliated. That's breaking news

88
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: today if you haven't heard it. Eighty four percent tariff

89
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 4: on US goods going into China, whatever that's going to do.

90
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: All of this happened without by American and Chinese accounts.

91
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: According to The New York Times, there was no conversation

92
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 4: between Trump and Xi or engagement senior aides before the

93
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: country's plunged into this trade war, So there is no

94
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 4: conversation to try to derail this. They heard about it

95
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 4: in the news. We heard about it in the news.

96
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: We're not talking to each other over.

97
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: This, right right.

98
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 5: Well, Trump obviously decided to go with his playbook that

99
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 5: he's been using on all countries lately, well almost all countries,

100
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 5: in all instances of No, we're going to institute the

101
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 5: draconian tariffs and you're going to back down. We're not

102
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 5: going to talk about it to avoid it. No, I'm

103
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 5: going to enact them, and then you're going to back down,

104
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 5: and chess and things said.

105
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: No, I'm not where it ends. Nobody knows.

106
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: So here's Senator Tom Cotton, Republican hawk on China, talking

107
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: about this.

108
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 6: I think one of the best things President Trump has

109
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 6: done in the tariff announcement is what he's done with China,

110
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 6: not just starting with twenty percent, adding thirty four percent,

111
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 6: threatening them that if they retaliated, he would do more,

112
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 6: which they've done. He's moved it now to fit another

113
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 6: fifty percent, and he's closed the Domnimus loophole which allowed

114
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 6: companies like tim Timu and Shane to exploit American businesses

115
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 6: to ship goods here that are a cheap jump without

116
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 6: paying any tariff whatsoever. So I think that's part of

117
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 6: the most important thing President Trump has done in these tariffs.

118
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: Tom Cotton a smart guy. He's on the side of

119
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 4: this re China. So I'm happy to hear that. You

120
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 4: want to hear somebody else bringing the fire in support

121
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 4: of these ideas. Kevin O'Leary. Maybe you know him if

122
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: you ever watch Shark Tank. He's one of your big

123
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 4: venture capitalists of super rich, powerful dudes, and he was

124
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 4: on CNN saying this one.

125
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 7: Hundred and four percent tariffs in China are not enough.

126
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 7: I'm advocating four hundred percent. I do business in China.

127
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 7: They don't play by the rules. They've been in the

128
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 7: WHO for decades. They have never abided by any of

129
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 7: the rules they agreed to when they came in for decades.

130
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 7: They cheat, they steal, they steal ip I can't litigate

131
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 7: in their courts. They take product, technology, they steal it,

132
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 7: they manufacture.

133
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: And sell it back here.

134
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 7: Never has an administrator four. I want, like Chi on

135
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 7: an airplane to Washington to level the playing fielding.

136
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: Let's see a little more from him and then we'll

137
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: discuss it.

138
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 7: Says not about tariffs anymore. Nobody has taken on China yet,

139
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 7: not the Europeans, no administration.

140
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: For decades.

141
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 7: As someone who actually does business there, I've had enough.

142
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 7: I speak for millions of Americans who have ip that

143
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 7: have been stolen by the Chinese. I have nothing against

144
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 7: the Chinese people. They've brought great literacy, art, and tech

145
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 7: to the world. The government cheats and steals. And finally

146
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 7: an administration. You may not like Trump, you may not

147
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 7: like his style or his rhetoric. Finally an administration that

148
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 7: puts up and says enough four hundred percent tariffs tomorrow morning.

149
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: How about that.

150
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 5: I love that we are such a heroin junkie for

151
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 5: cheap Chinese crap and labor and the rest of it.

152
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 5: You know, the the argument that I could hear the

153
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 5: gall on CNN starting to make was that, well, you know,

154
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 5: if we give up this heroin, we're gonna pew can

155
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 5: sweat for days, and it's going to be really uncomfortable.

156
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 5: And what Kevin O'Leary's saying is this is way beyond overdue,

157
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 5: and he's right. We cannot be utterly dependent on an

158
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 5: overtly hostile regime that's also powerful enough to bring the hurt.

159
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: It's insane.

160
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 5: So putting aside the whole Britain in Canada and Mexico stuff,

161
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 5: which a lot of it I think is way more

162
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 5: damaging than it needed to be by Trump, I'm with

163
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 5: him one hundred percent on the Chinese stuff. We've been

164
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 5: talking about this for years. It's got to play out.

165
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 5: It's not optional whether we decouple to the greatest extent

166
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 5: possible with China. It is not optional. It's begun.

167
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 4: It's interesting that he talks about how much China breaks

168
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 4: the rules. You know, there are all kinds of trade,

169
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 4: international trade rules, and they break the rules all the time.

170
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: They pay no price work.

171
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 5: Anybody who's ever done business for an extended period can

172
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 5: think of, you know, a business relationship, maybe an employee

173
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 5: or employer or a client or whatever. It was a

174
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 5: scumbag and just you didn't like them personally, but you

175
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 5: did so much business with them it was a net positive,

176
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 5: so you just dealt with it. That's China China is

177
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 5: a scumbag as a trading partner, as a manufacturer, as

178
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 5: an everything. But it was so profitable and so attractive,

179
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 5: so cheap, you just thought, you know what, it's still

180
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 5: a net positive. But you know, you get farther far

181
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 5: enough down that road and you find yourself just all

182
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 5: sorts of vulnerable to the aforementioned scumbags.

183
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 3: China As important as all this is.

184
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 5: Jack, I think this might be more important to good

185
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 5: longtime friend of the Armstrong and Getty show just texted me.

186
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 5: I'm traveling and noticed dudes are now wearing yoga pants.

187
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: W A TF, I haven't seen that.

188
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: Men wearing yoga pants to fly? Come on in.

189
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 5: China, come on in the Axis Powers. We never would

190
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 5: have warred in World War Two? And yoga pants, Jack,

191
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 5: There's no arguing with that.

192
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 8: Yes, Katie, if I saw a dude wearing yoga pants,

193
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 8: my gadar would explode. H I could not think of

194
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 8: a straight man that would put on a pair of

195
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 8: yoga pants.

196
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 5: There are pants of various styles so comfortable and flexible

197
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 5: and light you don't even know you're wearing them without

198
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 5: donning the yoga pants.

199
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: How comfortable do you all need? To be.

200
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 4: I just don't understand the I have chafing issues, never

201
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 4: ending pursuit of maximum comfort, like you're laying in bed

202
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: for everything you do, work or travel.

203
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: I just I don't quite get it.

204
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 8: Okay, uncomfortable though, because yoga pants are tight well.

205
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 5: Right, and I don't know how much you know about

206
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 5: the male anatomy, but there are things that don't respond

207
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 5: well to tight, or maybe they're not there anymore. Maybe

208
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 5: these are, you know, mid transition fellas. Certainly the feeling

209
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 5: you're giving out if you are rocking the yoga pants boys, seriously,

210
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 5: one man to another, cut it out.

211
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 4: My son and his friends with there's some sort of

212
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 4: slip on shoe and like pajama pants, the big switch.

213
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 4: It's like everybody rolls out of bed and does their

214
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 4: life every day. I don't know if it's going to

215
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 4: last forever.

216
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 8: That was that was big in high school. A lot

217
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 8: of high schoolers where pajamas out.

218
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: It's like the Cottar high schools.

219
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 5: Katie back in the day, combat boots, double sick jeans.

220
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: Just in case, three piece suit with vest. Oh she stops.

221
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 5: Fighting, gloves, brass knuckles. That's the way we went to

222
00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 5: algebra class. Thank god, we can't go any further down

223
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 5: the comfort road. I mean, we're at the maximum end

224
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 5: of it, I think.

225
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

226
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 5: I mean I was gonna say other nakedness, but that

227
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 5: is distinctly uncomfortable in a variety of weather conditions and

228
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 5: or the presence of insects.

229
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: Park bench.

230
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 5: Well, that's another excellent point. So yeah, I think we

231
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 5: are at the height. So our Trump's tariffs legal What

232
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 5: are the the court fights that are about to start?

233
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 5: Trust me, what are they going to look like? We'll

234
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 5: hit that a little later in the show. Maybe this hour,

235
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: maybe next hour. If you don't get next hour, grab

236
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 5: it via podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. Idaho has

237
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 5: become the first state to legalize firing squads for convicted pedophiles.

238
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 3: Wow, stay with us for live team coverage.

239
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 4: And I just saw this breaking news. Defense Secretary Pete

240
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 4: Hegsath's top advisor is recommending the Defense department cut ties

241
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: with the boy Scouts for being too woken. I hate

242
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: to hear that.

243
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: I do too. I'm a grand a scout of that. Yeah,

244
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look into that anyway.

245
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 4: He got more on the waist to hear Armstrong, that

246
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 4: is a guy demonstrating how to fold a fitted sheet?

247
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 4: Is the crowd chance fold that sheet? And apparently he

248
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 4: can fold a fitted sheet? And how do you do that?

249
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: Because I've never been able to do anything other than

250
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 4: more or less watt it up in a ball and

251
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 4: shove it in a closet. To me, the operative question

252
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 4: is more, uh, why was there a crowd?

253
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 7: There?

254
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 5: Some decent questions. Well, I marvel at his skills. Indeed,

255
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 5: what was going on there?

256
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 3: Katie?

257
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I think that Michael was that you. Yeah,

258
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: he could fold the sheet though.

259
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a guy who used social media and got

260
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 8: seven hundred people to gather around and uh, but.

261
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 4: Does he have a skill for actually folding the sheep?

262
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: That's what we care about because it's one of the

263
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 4: great annoyances of life.

264
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 3: I assume.

265
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: So I just thought it was a good audio.

266
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: You know, you haven't seen it, okay. No, I haven't

267
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:16,599
Speaker 3: seen it.

268
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 4: No one's seen it, okay, So that takes the fun

269
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 4: out of it. I have question isn't whether he's good

270
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 4: at sheets.

271
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: The question is the pill hundreds of people doing that's.

272
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 4: There was a guy within an hour's drive that could

273
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: show me how to fold a fitted sheet.

274
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: I would drive there this afternoon.

275
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: Oh stop it.

276
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 8: I have seen a few women that actually lay it

277
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 8: out upside down and they lay down in the middle

278
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 8: of it and stick their hands in and then fold

279
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 8: their body together.

280
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: And I've seen that work, but I have not tried it.

281
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 4: And then do you have to stay in it like

282
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 4: a mummy or do you get to leave? You get

283
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 4: to leave after she does that?

284
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: Or what fighter out?

285
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: Wow?

286
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 5: Okay, did you have a story about the military? I

287
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 5: often have time.

288
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 4: I was gonna mention that, Yeah, this is breaking from

289
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 4: NBC News, and I don't know how big a deal

290
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 4: this is. I'll look into it more later, but it

291
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 4: just came out. Senior advisor to Pete Hagzet, who's the

292
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 4: Secretary of Events, is for the military to cut ties

293
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 4: with scouting America.

294
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: They're tied quite closely. I don't know if you know this.

295
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: My son just got into scouting.

296
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: And there is a fairly consistent line for a lot

297
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 4: of people, especially like Eagle Scouts, who end up in

298
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 4: the military and do well. And there are benefits to

299
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: getting into the military if you've got the scouting background

300
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 4: blah blah blah blah. But the second death is being

301
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 4: recommended to not give a speech he was supposed to

302
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 4: give to scouting, that it's been captured by the woke

303
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 4: and we'll look into this.

304
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: I had hate for that to be true.

305
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 4: I mean, then changing their name. That doesn't bother me

306
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 4: as much as does a lot of you. I realize

307
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 4: it's like giving into a certain sort of attitude. It's

308
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: the it's the inside, behind the scenes DEI stuff. I'm

309
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 4: more worried about than the changing of the name.

310
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would like to know more about why that

311
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 5: advisor that. My initial reaction is, Hey, Pete, go in

312
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 5: there and deliver a barn burner fire the boys up,

313
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 5: talk to them about patriotic values and service and the

314
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 5: rest of it.

315
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: Let's not leave scouting to the lunatics.

316
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 4: Well, I, my son is signed up for a day

317
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 4: long DEI training session, and I'm not just using the

318
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 4: term DEI like it looks like DEI to me. That's

319
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: what they're calling it. God help us as part of

320
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 4: the boy Scouts for some sort of badge you get.

321
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: So I'm a little concerned about it.

322
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: A little.

323
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 5: Well, I'm going to stay out of it because it's

324
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 5: you and your son. So I'll let you speak any

325
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 5: words that are spoken on the topic. Myself, I am

326
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 5: horrified by the idea.

327
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 4: But as I said last week, so many amazing volunteers

328
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 4: that make that whole thing work. I mean, just amazing

329
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 4: people dedicating their time. But let me say, build fires

330
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 4: and you know, float around in canoes and learn to

331
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 4: climb mountains and stuff.

332
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: No DEI.

333
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 3: Speaking of the Defense Department.

334
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 5: There have been a couple of headlines that have gotten

335
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 5: very little attention in recent days. In the news, a

336
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 5: judge has said, no, you can't ban transgender folks.

337
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: From various jobs.

338
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 5: Good news is pete hegseeth went away and said, or

339
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 5: went ahead rather and said men and women's same physical standards.

340
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 5: Of course, we'll talk about that coming up, Cool, Armstrong

341
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 5: and Getty.

342
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 4: When does the average person panic with their phone battery percentage?

343
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 4: And it's according to CBS Evening News, it's thirty four percent.

344
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 4: That's when the average person panics. Thirty four percent getting

345
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 4: kind of low. Can we talk about the word panic?

346
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 4: I don't know if panic is the feeling that I get.

347
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 4: I think it's more of a I should probably plug

348
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 4: this in soon, which.

349
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: Is I remember when a guy with a knife was

350
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 5: chasing me through city streets.

351
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 3: That was something like panic. My cell phone's down to

352
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 3: thirty percent. That is not much.

353
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 4: And the latest on the Chicken Jockey phenomenon, what is

354
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 4: it now? It's growing. I might actually go this weekend

355
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 4: and participate with my son.

356
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 5: I have an important story in just a moment, but

357
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 5: I can't resist this big day in college baseball yesterday

358
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 5: in Teaneck, New Jersey, where both of my parents grew up.

359
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: Layman College. Did they meet there.

360
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: In high school? Yep.

361
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 5: Layman College, with its forty two game losing streak, came

362
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 5: up against Yeshiva University and their one hundred game I'm

363
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 5: sorry at the time, ninety nine game losing streak.

364
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: Well, how many seasons is that? Combined?

365
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 5: One hundred and forty one straight losses between the two teams.

366
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 5: Here's the exciting part, Jack. They played a double header.

367
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 5: Layman won the opener, but Yeshiva stormed back in game two.

368
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: And captured the victory. They both have a win.

369
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 5: I tell you what you got, the two losing his

370
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 5: college teams in the country.

371
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 4: You've got to play. Wow, how many seasons is a

372
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 4: one hundred game losing streak? That's gonna be years.

373
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 3: It's gotta be a couple.

374
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, three tah.

375
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 4: That's tough on the kids, tough on the coach, tough

376
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 4: on the fans, the parents because my son's volleyball team

377
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 4: just went through a losing streak and it's got you know,

378
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 4: the players get down, parents start to think, what am

379
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 4: I doing here?

380
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 3: Yea, the all time losing streak two and twenty eight? Sick?

381
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 3: Can you give games?

382
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 5: The cal Tech Beavers lost from two thousand and three

383
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 5: to two thousand Tech has sports teams.

384
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: That's the first long conference. Why do you.

385
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 4: Have sports teams at Caltech? You're all a bunch of

386
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 4: Nobel Prize winning scientists.

387
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 5: Final note, Yeshiva alumnus and comic Ititon Levine called the

388
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 5: matchup quote statistically the worst baseball game of all time. Anyway,

389
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 5: congratulations to both the teams capturing a win. So this

390
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 5: is the sort of self evidently reasonable thing that should

391
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 5: be completely unremarkable. But we had gotten as a country

392
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 5: so far off track, the track being common sense and reasonableness,

393
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 5: that this seems notable. Pete Hegzeth the other day, I've

394
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 5: been wanting to get to this for several days. Signed

395
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 5: a memo ordering the military to adopt the same standards

396
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 5: for men and women serving in combat roles on Sunday,

397
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 5: which is again so self evidently reasonable.

398
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 3: I can't believe there's an argument over it.

399
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 4: If you can perform the same require whatever the requirements

400
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 4: are set by military people that know how many push

401
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 4: ups you need to be able to do, or how

402
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 4: fast you need to run a mile or whatever to

403
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 4: be fit to serve in battle. If you, as a

404
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 4: woman can do that, I don't care. If it's all

405
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 4: women army, don't make any difference to me. But you

406
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 4: all got to meet the same requirements.

407
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 5: You know, unless there's a disruption of troop cohesion because

408
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 5: of the sexual dynamics, which has been a part of

409
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 5: every military in the history of the world. Don't tell

410
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 5: me it doesn't matter, because it does. But I agree

411
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 5: with you in principle one hundred percent. And the argument

412
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 5: from the women should be in combat people all along

413
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 5: has been they're up to the task.

414
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: They're up to the task.

415
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, if there are standards for the task, which

416
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 5: is what those standards are, then they have to be

417
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 5: able to meet them. Anything any conclusion other than that

418
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 5: is bizarre. It's idiotic, it's unsupportable, and it's dangerous for

419
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 5: both the men and the women in question anyway, So

420
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 5: well done, Pete. A judge said, Now the transgender thing,

421
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 5: you can't do that. They try to ban transgender people

422
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: from serving in the US military. It's a preliminary injunction

423
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 5: that will be fought through the courts for a while,

424
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 5: I would imagine.

425
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 4: So there were two assassination attempts on Trump, as we remember,

426
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 4: the one where he actually got shot, the scary to one,

427
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 4: and then that other one at the golf course, which

428
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 4: anybody downplays that just doesn't even understand.

429
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: He had no.

430
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 4: Vision of the president yet well, in five minutes he

431
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 4: would have he need to put a bullet.

432
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he would have killed the president.

433
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 4: He was laying in the bushes with his gun pointing

434
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,479
Speaker 4: out and thank god a Secret Service agent's on. But

435
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 4: there's some new information on that dude that came out yesterday.

436
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 4: This is from ABC News Brian Ruth's apparent obsession with

437
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 4: assassinating President Trump before he allegedly stalked Trump on his

438
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 4: Florida golf course. Prosecutor say Ruth, a fierce supporter of

439
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 4: Ukraine who had visited the war torn country multiple times,

440
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 4: reached out to an associate there his request send me

441
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 4: an RPG, rocket propelled grenade or Stinger's surface to air missile.

442
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 4: Prosecutors claim Ruth desperately wanted to blow up then candidate

443
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 4: Trump's plane, writing I need equipment so that Trump cannot

444
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 4: get elected. And now the FBI says Ruth could have

445
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 4: had an even more powerful weapon after he first tried

446
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: to buy a fifty caliber rifle capable of piercing body

447
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 4: armor and slicing through car doors.

448
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: That would have been something.

449
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 4: I don't know how easy it is to mail an

450
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 4: RPG or a shoulder fired missile, whether that can get

451
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 4: through the mail or not, but you can get a

452
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 4: hold of fifty caliber.

453
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: Guns in the United States. And I'm glad he didn't,

454
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: and I'm.

455
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 4: Glad he got caught before he was able to pull

456
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 4: anything off, right right, this is.

457
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: A dumb story before we go to break.

458
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 4: As y'all know, Hooters has filed for bankruptcy and Hooters

459
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 4: is ditching bikini knights, which I didn't know they have.

460
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if the waitresses were bikinis or the customers.

461
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 4: The customers, I'm not feel pretty. Hooters is ditching bikini

462
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 4: knights in favor of charity, family friendly dining. Oh boy,

463
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 4: to some sort of charity night for families to come in.

464
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 4: I guess this is before you go before the bankruptcy judge,

465
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 4: you know, for better treatment or I don't know what

466
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 4: that is. I was gonna say, show hands, everybody who

467
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 4: thinks this will work.

468
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 3: Anybody, show of hands.

469
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 4: I think you hope the judge is a guy. And

470
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 4: you have the chicks and the weird nylons like it's

471
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 4: the seventies, and those weird shorts, and I don't know

472
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 4: whoever came up with those outfits in the first place.

473
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 5: Well, as you've pointed out many times through the years,

474
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 5: every damn sports bar, at least half of them in

475
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 5: America have attractive young women dressed in a provocative way,

476
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 5: serving the drinks and the wings.

477
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 3: I mean, Hooters is utterly not unique.

478
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: On an oracle of the genre.

479
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 4: One more thing I wanted to jam in before we

480
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 4: take a break, and then we'll learn more about chicken jockey,

481
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 4: and then something of substance.

482
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 1: I don't remember what it was.

483
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 4: Yes, it is true Chinese troops were caught fighting for Russia.

484
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: In Ukraine. That has been nailed down.

485
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 3: Now.

486
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 4: I remember when that was a red line for the

487
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 4: Biden administration. The idea of Chinese troops fighting. I don't

488
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 4: know if it's a red line for Trump or we're

489
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 4: all just going to kind of ignore.

490
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: This seems like kind of a big deal.

491
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 4: The China's actually providing soldiers right now.

492
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 5: The Chinese stance, the government's stance was, oh, we've warned

493
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 5: our people to stay far away from any war zones.

494
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 5: These are not our soldiers. These are misguided souls.

495
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 4: Getting a little less proxy in a little more war.

496
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 4: When you actually have Chinese soldiers fighting, when North Ausrians O, geez,

497
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 4: that's writing.

498
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 5: Because North Korea doesn't go to the grocery store for

499
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 5: milk without asking China whether it's okay. That's a bit

500
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 5: of an exaggeration. But yeah, the fact that there are

501
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 5: thousands and thousands of North Koreans there's that's not gone

502
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 5: unnoticed by China.

503
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 3: They permitted it.

504
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 4: So I got one kid that went to the Minecraft

505
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 4: movie in one that hasn't seen it. And if you're

506
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 4: a kid and you haven't seen the Minecraft, especially a boy,

507
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 4: if you're a boy and you haven't seen the Minecraft movie. Well,

508
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 4: you're on the outs socially. You just you got to

509
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 4: see it because it's the biggest phenomenon going. Well, if

510
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 4: you're planning to go to this weekend, you're gonna drop

511
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 4: your kid off, you might have to go in with

512
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 4: them because they're changing the rules that a lot of

513
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 4: movie theaters explain that coming up, stay here, Armstrong and Getty.

514
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 9: So what is a chicken jockey? The official definition a

515
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 9: child zombie who rides a chicken. Of course, this morning

516
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 9: that craze around chicken jockeys, causing one movie theater in

517
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 9: New Jersey to take matters into its own hands, instituting

518
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 9: a new policy. Miners will now have to have a

519
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 9: parent or responsible adult with them if they want to

520
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 9: watch the film. The Township Theater in Bergen County riding

521
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 9: in a statement that a group of boys engaged in

522
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 9: completely unacceptable behavior, including vandalism. They also received multiple complaints

523
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 9: from other moviegoers who are trying to enjoy the film

524
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 9: with their families.

525
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 3: The manager called us and said that the theater was

526
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 3: in badscame.

527
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's one theater, although there are theaters all

528
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 4: across the country where during the biggest movie of the

529
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 4: year so far, the Minecraft movie. During that particular scene,

530
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: people start throwing popcorn and stuff like that.

531
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: I think that's going to grow.

532
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 4: I anticipate this weekend to be coast to coast popcorn throwing.

533
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: Which I could feel like I could participate in myself.

534
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 4: Popcorn throwing is not the same as like throwing a

535
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 4: pop very different thing.

536
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: You sweep of the podcorn, you know.

537
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 5: So you don't think America's adolescent boys will heed the

538
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 5: call from Network News to calm down.

539
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: I just think it. I was thinking about this yesterday.

540
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 4: Uh, the most common thing in the world with teenagers,

541
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 4: and you just hope you have it at the right level.

542
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 4: I guess young people need to feel like rebels, and

543
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 4: most of the time they're rebeling is so minor and

544
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 4: nothing and really laughable.

545
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: But you know, you want to let them have their

546
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: moment of being a rebel.

547
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I've heard so many teenagers in my life

548
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 4: brag about the rebellious thing that did that was just

549
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 4: some nothing, it's just a nothing, big deal, but but

550
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 4: they have to do it. It's something the way we're

551
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 4: built human beings, and good if if this may if

552
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 4: this gets your I'm a rebel out of your system,

553
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 4: and as far as you go, that's fantastic throwing some

554
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 4: puzzles as.

555
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 5: A big fan of free range parenting and let them

556
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 5: grow that great organization and that sort of thing. Uh yeah,

557
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 5: I don't quash that rebel impulse, just help them channel

558
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 5: it into a way that's non destruct.

559
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: I think it's funny.

560
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's because the town I live

561
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 4: in or whatever, or maybe it was because you could

562
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 4: mostly hear my son and his friends who are all

563
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 4: very like, too cool for everything, But he whipped out

564
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 4: his phone at the movie the other night and recorded,

565
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 4: and it was more like chicken Jockey, Like.

566
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: They're already tired of it.

567
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 5: Oh that's so yesterday, yelling chicken Jockey night lame o.

568
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 4: Three days later, idiot, here today, gone today. A couple

569
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 4: things for you really quickly. I'm gonna read this whole

570
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 4: story because this could be huge. Dating apps mess with

571
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: your hormones, they think, and can even send libido levels plunging.

572
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 4: Wouldn't that be something If there's something about dating apps

573
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 4: that makes people not want to have sex and get together,

574
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 4: that kind of is counterproductive. Since you got on the

575
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 4: dating app. I assume originally to get together with someone

576
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 4: makes you not want to get together with someone.

577
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: Weir, Yeah, I can't imagine.

578
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 4: No, it's not impossible to believe that could be true though,

579
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 4: that there's some element of the I hate to use

580
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 4: word chase, toxic masculinity or something wrong, but some element

581
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: of the chase that gets lost.

582
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 5: There and or after the first rush of the thrill

583
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 5: of what you're doing, it starts to become soul deadening

584
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 5: and disgusting to you. I mean, because how many folks,

585
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 5: young folks have we heard saying, yeah, I'm done with

586
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 5: the the whole online dating thing. It's it's well, soul

587
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 5: deadening and disgusting.

588
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 4: I've heard so many people say that. Well, if it is,

589
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 4: you know, some sort of pheromones thing or whatever that

590
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 4: we've all long believed that causes the fall in love

591
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 4: and all this sort of stuff, well you're not getting

592
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 4: that online. So maybe you get the your human nature

593
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 4: to procreate drives you to get onto a dating app

594
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 4: and do all the thing, and then you match with something,

595
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 4: discuss a few things, and it's like you're not getting

596
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 4: in India pheromone stuff. So it's just like, eh, I

597
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 4: don't even feel like it right the end of that, right.

598
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: I don't know.

599
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 4: You tell me those of you of online dated and

600
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 4: this this is out from our Secretary of the Treasury, bessent'

601
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 4: Is that how you say his name? Wall Street has

602
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 4: grown wealthier for four decades. For the next four years,

603
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 4: it's main streets turned.

604
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 5: Oh god, the whole Wall Street main Street thing. Not

605
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 5: from either party, please, I'm not sure.

606
00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: I believe that it's mainstream.

607
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

608
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 5: Again, the idea that Trump is going to reshape global

609
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 5: trade for the next couple of decades, and that the

610
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 5: American economy will be restructured to reemphasize domestic assembly and

611
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 5: manufacturing and the rest of it. How is that going

612
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 5: to happen If his term ends in three and a

613
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 5: half years, Well JD Vance will win two terms and

614
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 5: blah blah blah. Well then it could happen conceivably. But

615
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 5: I think it's all just posturing to get better trade

616
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 5: deals done, which again, I would be in favor of.

617
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 4: A response to that comment from the Secretary of the

618
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 4: Treasury from the Dispatch, which admittedly is a Trump hating organization,

619
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 4: is best for real Main Street is about to get

620
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 4: a beating thanks to you geniuses. And wait until the

621
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 4: Wall Street crisis turns into a recession or a financial crisis,

622
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 4: higher interest rates.

623
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: And all won't be helping Main Street.

624
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 5: Well. To his credit, Trump has said, look, there's going

625
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 5: to be some tough times, but we've got a restructure.

626
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 5: And I honestly, I said earlier, I was two thirds

627
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 5: convinced that this is just posturing to get better trade deals,

628
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 5: and he has no intention of long term trade barriers,

629
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 5: you know, isolationist economics. But there's a third of me

630
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 5: that thinks, you know, Scott Besant is expressing what the

631
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 5: boss thinks.

632
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 3: I don't know. There's what's bothering Wall Street so much

633
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 3: nobody knows.

634
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 4: Maybe the biggest problem with this whole thing is it's

635
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 4: all discussed as a whole, the tariff thing, when China

636
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 4: is such a different situation than all these other countries.

637
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they should be completely separate.

638
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 5: Conversations and and very you know, customizable to various countries

639
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 5: with various realities.

640
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: Taylor, Taylor, Trump's going with tailored. These are not off

641
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 4: the rack.

642
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: They are tailored.

643
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 3: Good good.

644
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 5: Some impoverished African Republic, I'm fine if we treat them

645
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 5: a little differently than say, you know France, how.

646
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 4: About some island full of penguins? Have They've been sticking

647
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 4: it to us for decades?

648
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 5: Right, taking our mackerel and giving us nothing back in return. Oh,

649
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 5: that would be a trade surplus, never mind throwing their

650
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 5: mackerel at us and taking nothing in return.

651
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 4: You strut around in your little tuxedos. You own that

652
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: rock as if you can fly.

653
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 3: You can't.

654
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: You're fightless.

655
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 4: And the headline around that, in case you have heard,

656
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 4: is one hundred percent tariff on China kicked in midnight

657
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 4: last night.

658
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: Look for it soon on a Walmart shelf near you.

659
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 5: Gallup did a poll recently what do you think foreign

660
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 5: trade means for America? Do you see foreign trade more

661
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 5: as an opportunity for economic growth through increased US exports

662
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 5: or as a threat to the economy from foreign imports.

663
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty.

664
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 5: Fair way to ask the question, don't you? And interestingly,

665
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 5: it was like asking about what do you think of

666
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 5: boys playing in girls sports? Is eighty one percent say

667
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 5: I see foreign trade more as an opportunity for economic

668
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 5: growth to fourteen that see it as more of a

669
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 5: threat eighty one to fourteen. How populist is the idea

670
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 5: of seriously reigning in foreign trade.

671
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: Wow, we'll have to say.

672
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 4: May you live in interesting times. They say, here's one

673
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 4: thing you can be thankful for. Night clubs don't fall

674
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 4: on your head in the United States. You go out

675
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 4: to a nightclub at night, it's not just going to

676
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 4: fall on your head because there are no rules whatsoever

677
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 4: for building. You know, I'm a lower rules guy to

678
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 4: any regulations, but at least nightclubs don't fall in your head.

679
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've seen any of those videos

680
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 4: from the Dominican Republic, but that's brutal, just a nightmare. Yeah,

681
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 4: I'd say absolutely. Next hour, more protests in Gaza. These

682
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 4: people are brave against TAMAS and John Kennedy and Lindsey

683
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 4: Graham said some interesting things about Iran and AOC. So

684
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 4: we'll get into all that in our form.

685
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: Oh by Armstrong and Getty
