WEBVTT - Coast To Coast Popcorn Throwing 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.720 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:17.240 and Jack Kid and No Armstrong and Eddy. 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.480 The reality is it's the most complex supply chain in 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.720 the world and they're able to make him at one 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:33.400 thousand dollars is because of the supply chain that's really 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.279 been built over the last decade. You build that in 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.080 the US, there'll be thirty five. 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:38.959 Hundred dollar iPhones. 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:44.360 It will take Apple thirty billion dollars and three years 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.479 to move just ten percent of the supply chain to 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:47.560 the US. 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:53.280 Who is that giant tongue human dan ives tech head, 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:57.160 whatever that is. I had trouble understanding him. 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:57.480 Um okay. 0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.000 That party through it at the end because I was 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.640 about to say, oh, well, yeah, if starting today you 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.000 had to make iPhones in the United States, they would 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.240 cost thirty five hundred dollars. This is not hard to believe. 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.039 But there'd be all kinds of adjustments. 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.440 Around a variety of things to make it as cheap 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.080 as possible that I'm sure Apple would come up with something. 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.119 No doubt they'd be more expensive than I don't know, 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.240 child slave labor in China or whatever we're using to 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:28.360 get our BRANCT. You can't beat slave labor for cheap goods, folks, 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.440 there's just no denying that. Oh my god, our tech 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.800 industries have shown us the way it would be substantially 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.399 more expensive closer to the big number than the current 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.480 number from everything I've read. But yeah, well that is 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.520 take many years again, as he mentioned, so we got 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.520 some people that are going to some boosters for this 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.840 plan you'll hear from in just a second. Not a 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.840 booster David Sanger in the New York Times today. Of course, 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.200 he's a lefty, so he's going to be against this. 0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.760 So are a lot of the conservative economics I've seen, 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.559 like practically all of them. But this whole Chinese tariff 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.760 thing that kicked in last night on China one hundred 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.519 and four percent tariff on Chinese goods coming into the 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.080 United States starting at midnight last night, And as David 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.960 Sanger points out in the New York Times today, that 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:19.480 is everything from car parts to iPhones to practically everything 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.320 that's on the shelf at Walmart or on Amazon's app. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:24.400 That's a lot of stuff. 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.920 And if he points out, if you remember how quickly 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:33.520 the supply chain problems showed up during COVID. You have 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.440 a little bit of knowledge of how short the turnaround 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.079 is on shelves. Shelves were empty at Target and Walmart, 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.959 like within days when the whole COVID thing hits. So 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.959 it's not going to take long before these tariff things 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.240 kicked in, or the tariff kicks in and you're paying more, 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.359 or there's just not stuff there. I think it'll be 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.240 pretty noticeable, like next week. 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.919 One of the great developments of the modern world, which 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.560 has saved all of us money is the just in 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:03.720 time delivery system, the computerized inventory systems. You don't need 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.720 gigantic warehouses full of say, paper towels. You know, in 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.720 case there's a problem, you've got six months worth of 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.280 paper towels. As a retailer, No, you just you order 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.400 them when you need them, they show up just before 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:14.960 you need them. 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:16.079 You put them on the shelves. 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.280 On the other hand, if there's a big disruption, obviously 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.280 there's a big disruption. I just I believe, as I 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:25.040 indicated last hour, with pretty good certainty, not great, that 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.799 with the exception of China, all the trade war stuff 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.280 is going to be very short lived. Now the China stuff, 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.600 which I admit is a huge issue in and of itself. 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.400 I have no idea how long this lasts. 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:39.360 Well wow, And. 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.760 If it lasts very long, I mean you talk about 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:47.160 the heart of Trump's voting base, that crowd that shops 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:52.920 at Walmart, and if they start seeing things much more 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:58.120 expensive or not there quickly, it'd be interesting to watch 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.760 how the politics plays out on this. So what people's 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.280 tolerance for pain is with the belief that it's worth 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.560 it for long term manufacturing coming back, we make this 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:08.920 stuff here in the long run. 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:10.720 Blah blah blah. We all know that. 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:16.040 Yeah, Donald Jay is in the White House thinking China, 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.599 you need us more than we need you, and Shijin 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.599 Ping is saying you need. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.000 Us more than we need you. Let's get it on. 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.719 Yeah, it's interesting. One thing that David Sanger mentions in 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:27.960 this piece. 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:29.920 Is that. 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.600 There were all this happened. I mean, this is a 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.960 pretty big deal because China has retaliated. That's breaking news 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.800 today if you haven't heard it. Eighty four percent tariff 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:44.280 on US goods going into China, whatever that's going to do. 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:53.080 All of this happened without by American and Chinese accounts. 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.640 According to The New York Times, there was no conversation 0:04:56.120 --> 0:05:01.400 between Trump and Xi or engagement senior aides before the 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.960 country's plunged into this trade war, So there is no 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:08.520 conversation to try to derail this. They heard about it 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:09.920 in the news. We heard about it in the news. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.400 We're not talking to each other over. 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.000 This, right right. 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.919 Well, Trump obviously decided to go with his playbook that 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.960 he's been using on all countries lately, well almost all countries, 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.720 in all instances of No, we're going to institute the 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.839 draconian tariffs and you're going to back down. We're not 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.600 going to talk about it to avoid it. No, I'm 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.560 going to enact them, and then you're going to back down, 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:30.960 and chess and things said. 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.880 No, I'm not where it ends. Nobody knows. 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:39.440 So here's Senator Tom Cotton, Republican hawk on China, talking 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:39.880 about this. 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.440 I think one of the best things President Trump has 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.000 done in the tariff announcement is what he's done with China, 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.200 not just starting with twenty percent, adding thirty four percent, 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.840 threatening them that if they retaliated, he would do more, 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.320 which they've done. He's moved it now to fit another 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:57.040 fifty percent, and he's closed the Domnimus loophole which allowed 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:01.640 companies like tim Timu and Shane to exploit American businesses 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.919 to ship goods here that are a cheap jump without 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.320 paying any tariff whatsoever. So I think that's part of 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.719 the most important thing President Trump has done in these tariffs. 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.640 Tom Cotton a smart guy. He's on the side of 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.159 this re China. So I'm happy to hear that. You 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.480 want to hear somebody else bringing the fire in support 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.040 of these ideas. Kevin O'Leary. Maybe you know him if 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.760 you ever watch Shark Tank. He's one of your big 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.719 venture capitalists of super rich, powerful dudes, and he was 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.800 on CNN saying this one. 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.559 Hundred and four percent tariffs in China are not enough. 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.920 I'm advocating four hundred percent. I do business in China. 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:37.720 They don't play by the rules. They've been in the 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.840 WHO for decades. They have never abided by any of 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.440 the rules they agreed to when they came in for decades. 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.520 They cheat, they steal, they steal ip I can't litigate 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:51.040 in their courts. They take product, technology, they steal it, 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.599 they manufacture. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:53.159 And sell it back here. 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.960 Never has an administrator four. I want, like Chi on 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:03.720 an airplane to Washington to level the playing fielding. 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.080 Let's see a little more from him and then we'll 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:07.160 discuss it. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:11.640 Says not about tariffs anymore. Nobody has taken on China yet, 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:13.920 not the Europeans, no administration. 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:14.800 For decades. 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.560 As someone who actually does business there, I've had enough. 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.320 I speak for millions of Americans who have ip that 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.520 have been stolen by the Chinese. I have nothing against 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:31.120 the Chinese people. They've brought great literacy, art, and tech 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:36.320 to the world. The government cheats and steals. And finally 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.000 an administration. You may not like Trump, you may not 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:43.160 like his style or his rhetoric. Finally an administration that 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:48.920 puts up and says enough four hundred percent tariffs tomorrow morning. 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:49.960 How about that. 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.960 I love that we are such a heroin junkie for 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.960 cheap Chinese crap and labor and the rest of it. 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.480 You know, the the argument that I could hear the 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.800 gall on CNN starting to make was that, well, you know, 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.160 if we give up this heroin, we're gonna pew can 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.640 sweat for days, and it's going to be really uncomfortable. 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:14.080 And what Kevin O'Leary's saying is this is way beyond overdue, 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:19.520 and he's right. We cannot be utterly dependent on an 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:25.000 overtly hostile regime that's also powerful enough to bring the hurt. 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:26.200 It's insane. 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.960 So putting aside the whole Britain in Canada and Mexico stuff, 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.120 which a lot of it I think is way more 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.760 damaging than it needed to be by Trump, I'm with 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.040 him one hundred percent on the Chinese stuff. We've been 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.440 talking about this for years. It's got to play out. 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:47.280 It's not optional whether we decouple to the greatest extent 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.680 possible with China. It is not optional. It's begun. 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:55.360 It's interesting that he talks about how much China breaks 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.480 the rules. You know, there are all kinds of trade, 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.679 international trade rules, and they break the rules all the time. 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:00.959 They pay no price work. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.959 Anybody who's ever done business for an extended period can 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:09.520 think of, you know, a business relationship, maybe an employee 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.480 or employer or a client or whatever. It was a 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:17.280 scumbag and just you didn't like them personally, but you 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.720 did so much business with them it was a net positive, 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.839 so you just dealt with it. That's China China is 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:28.720 a scumbag as a trading partner, as a manufacturer, as 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:33.920 an everything. But it was so profitable and so attractive, 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.760 so cheap, you just thought, you know what, it's still 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.600 a net positive. But you know, you get farther far 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.320 enough down that road and you find yourself just all 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.800 sorts of vulnerable to the aforementioned scumbags. 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.439 China As important as all this is. 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.520 Jack, I think this might be more important to good 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.280 longtime friend of the Armstrong and Getty show just texted me. 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:59.320 I'm traveling and noticed dudes are now wearing yoga pants. 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.720 W A TF, I haven't seen that. 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:08.720 Men wearing yoga pants to fly? Come on in. 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:14.120 China, come on in the Axis Powers. We never would 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.360 have warred in World War Two? And yoga pants, Jack, 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:17.360 There's no arguing with that. 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:21.720 Yes, Katie, if I saw a dude wearing yoga pants, 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:26.720 my gadar would explode. H I could not think of 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.200 a straight man that would put on a pair of 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:29.280 yoga pants. 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:36.319 There are pants of various styles so comfortable and flexible 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.760 and light you don't even know you're wearing them without 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.480 donning the yoga pants. 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.120 How comfortable do you all need? To be. 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.480 I just don't understand the I have chafing issues, never 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:51.280 ending pursuit of maximum comfort, like you're laying in bed 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.280 for everything you do, work or travel. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:54.440 I just I don't quite get it. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.960 Okay, uncomfortable though, because yoga pants are tight well. 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.960 Right, and I don't know how much you know about 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.280 the male anatomy, but there are things that don't respond 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:08.800 well to tight, or maybe they're not there anymore. Maybe 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:14.160 these are, you know, mid transition fellas. Certainly the feeling 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:19.160 you're giving out if you are rocking the yoga pants boys, seriously, 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.080 one man to another, cut it out. 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.480 My son and his friends with there's some sort of 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:29.920 slip on shoe and like pajama pants, the big switch. 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.800 It's like everybody rolls out of bed and does their 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.520 life every day. I don't know if it's going to 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:36.120 last forever. 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.640 That was that was big in high school. A lot 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.560 of high schoolers where pajamas out. 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:42.440 It's like the Cottar high schools. 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:46.959 Katie back in the day, combat boots, double sick jeans. 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:51.440 Just in case, three piece suit with vest. Oh she stops. 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.720 Fighting, gloves, brass knuckles. That's the way we went to 0:11:54.720 --> 0:12:00.280 algebra class. Thank god, we can't go any further down 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.760 the comfort road. I mean, we're at the maximum end 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:04.440 of it, I think. 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:07.360 Yeah. 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.240 I mean I was gonna say other nakedness, but that 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.880 is distinctly uncomfortable in a variety of weather conditions and 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:14.920 or the presence of insects. 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:16.160 Park bench. 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.320 Well, that's another excellent point. So yeah, I think we 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:23.680 are at the height. So our Trump's tariffs legal What 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.560 are the the court fights that are about to start? 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.600 Trust me, what are they going to look like? We'll 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:30.600 hit that a little later in the show. Maybe this hour, 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.800 maybe next hour. If you don't get next hour, grab 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:38.480 it via podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. Idaho has 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:43.360 become the first state to legalize firing squads for convicted pedophiles. 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.960 Wow, stay with us for live team coverage. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:52.000 And I just saw this breaking news. Defense Secretary Pete 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:57.120 Hegsath's top advisor is recommending the Defense department cut ties 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.600 with the boy Scouts for being too woken. I hate 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:02.120 to hear that. 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.560 I do too. I'm a grand a scout of that. Yeah, 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:07.040 I'm gonna look into that anyway. 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:26.160 He got more on the waist to hear Armstrong, that 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.959 is a guy demonstrating how to fold a fitted sheet? 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.880 Is the crowd chance fold that sheet? And apparently he 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.280 can fold a fitted sheet? And how do you do that? 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.160 Because I've never been able to do anything other than 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.480 more or less watt it up in a ball and 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.920 shove it in a closet. To me, the operative question 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.160 is more, uh, why was there a crowd? 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:45.480 There? 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.400 Some decent questions. Well, I marvel at his skills. Indeed, 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:50.240 what was going on there? 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:51.200 Katie? 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:55.280 I have no idea. I think that Michael was that you. Yeah, 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.160 he could fold the sheet though. 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.440 Yeah, it's a guy who used social media and got 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:04.319 seven hundred people to gather around and uh, but. 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.480 Does he have a skill for actually folding the sheep? 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.400 That's what we care about because it's one of the 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.199 great annoyances of life. 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:12.560 I assume. 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.200 So I just thought it was a good audio. 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.360 You know, you haven't seen it, okay. No, I haven't 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:16.599 seen it. 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.040 No one's seen it, okay, So that takes the fun 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.120 out of it. I have question isn't whether he's good 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:22.760 at sheets. 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.600 The question is the pill hundreds of people doing that's. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.240 There was a guy within an hour's drive that could 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.120 show me how to fold a fitted sheet. 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.040 I would drive there this afternoon. 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:35.360 Oh stop it. 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.440 I have seen a few women that actually lay it 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.680 out upside down and they lay down in the middle 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.520 of it and stick their hands in and then fold 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:43.480 their body together. 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.800 And I've seen that work, but I have not tried it. 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:47.080 And then do you have to stay in it like 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.840 a mummy or do you get to leave? You get 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.680 to leave after she does that? 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.720 Or what fighter out? 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:57.040 Wow? 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.120 Okay, did you have a story about the military? I 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:00.840 often have time. 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.320 I was gonna mention that, Yeah, this is breaking from 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.480 NBC News, and I don't know how big a deal 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.080 this is. I'll look into it more later, but it 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.160 just came out. Senior advisor to Pete Hagzet, who's the 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.800 Secretary of Events, is for the military to cut ties 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:13.840 with scouting America. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.840 They're tied quite closely. I don't know if you know this. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:18.320 My son just got into scouting. 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:22.840 And there is a fairly consistent line for a lot 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.440 of people, especially like Eagle Scouts, who end up in 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.600 the military and do well. And there are benefits to 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.600 getting into the military if you've got the scouting background 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.080 blah blah blah blah. But the second death is being 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.480 recommended to not give a speech he was supposed to 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.000 give to scouting, that it's been captured by the woke 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:39.120 and we'll look into this. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.120 I had hate for that to be true. 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.520 I mean, then changing their name. That doesn't bother me 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.120 as much as does a lot of you. I realize 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.240 it's like giving into a certain sort of attitude. It's 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.720 the it's the inside, behind the scenes DEI stuff. I'm 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:55.440 more worried about than the changing of the name. 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.880 Yeah, I would like to know more about why that 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:03.760 advisor that. My initial reaction is, Hey, Pete, go in 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.520 there and deliver a barn burner fire the boys up, 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.720 talk to them about patriotic values and service and the 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:11.120 rest of it. 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.800 Let's not leave scouting to the lunatics. 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:17.520 Well, I, my son is signed up for a day 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.680 long DEI training session, and I'm not just using the 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.400 term DEI like it looks like DEI to me. That's 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.400 what they're calling it. God help us as part of 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.320 the boy Scouts for some sort of badge you get. 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.000 So I'm a little concerned about it. 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:31.720 A little. 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:33.280 Well, I'm going to stay out of it because it's 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.160 you and your son. So I'll let you speak any 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.520 words that are spoken on the topic. Myself, I am 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:38.600 horrified by the idea. 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.640 But as I said last week, so many amazing volunteers 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.080 that make that whole thing work. I mean, just amazing 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.200 people dedicating their time. But let me say, build fires 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.720 and you know, float around in canoes and learn to 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:51.840 climb mountains and stuff. 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:53.040 No DEI. 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:55.440 Speaking of the Defense Department. 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.000 There have been a couple of headlines that have gotten 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:01.400 very little attention in recent days. In the news, a 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.000 judge has said, no, you can't ban transgender folks. 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:05.600 From various jobs. 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.439 Good news is pete hegseeth went away and said, or 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:11.600 went ahead rather and said men and women's same physical standards. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:16.440 Of course, we'll talk about that coming up, Cool, Armstrong 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:17.080 and Getty. 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:24.880 When does the average person panic with their phone battery percentage? 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.080 And it's according to CBS Evening News, it's thirty four percent. 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.760 That's when the average person panics. Thirty four percent getting 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.600 kind of low. Can we talk about the word panic? 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.120 I don't know if panic is the feeling that I get. 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.560 I think it's more of a I should probably plug 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.080 this in soon, which. 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.040 Is I remember when a guy with a knife was 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.000 chasing me through city streets. 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:51.480 That was something like panic. My cell phone's down to 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.400 thirty percent. That is not much. 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.840 And the latest on the Chicken Jockey phenomenon, what is 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:02.840 it now? It's growing. I might actually go this weekend 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:04.080 and participate with my son. 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:07.520 I have an important story in just a moment, but 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:12.160 I can't resist this big day in college baseball yesterday 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.360 in Teaneck, New Jersey, where both of my parents grew up. 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.560 Layman College. Did they meet there. 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:21.800 In high school? Yep. 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:28.280 Layman College, with its forty two game losing streak, came 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:35.200 up against Yeshiva University and their one hundred game I'm 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.679 sorry at the time, ninety nine game losing streak. 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.120 Well, how many seasons is that? Combined? 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:44.680 One hundred and forty one straight losses between the two teams. 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:49.520 Here's the exciting part, Jack. They played a double header. 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.680 Layman won the opener, but Yeshiva stormed back in game two. 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.600 And captured the victory. They both have a win. 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.280 I tell you what you got, the two losing his 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:02.640 college teams in the country. 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.760 You've got to play. Wow, how many seasons is a 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.440 one hundred game losing streak? That's gonna be years. 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:10.200 It's gotta be a couple. 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:12.320 Yeah, three tah. 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.400 That's tough on the kids, tough on the coach, tough 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.440 on the fans, the parents because my son's volleyball team 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:20.720 just went through a losing streak and it's got you know, 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.040 the players get down, parents start to think, what am 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:24.640 I doing here? 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:29.800 Yea, the all time losing streak two and twenty eight? Sick? 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:30.639 Can you give games? 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.720 The cal Tech Beavers lost from two thousand and three 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.280 to two thousand Tech has sports teams. 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.040 That's the first long conference. Why do you. 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:42.879 Have sports teams at Caltech? You're all a bunch of 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:44.600 Nobel Prize winning scientists. 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.960 Final note, Yeshiva alumnus and comic Ititon Levine called the 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:54.679 matchup quote statistically the worst baseball game of all time. Anyway, 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:59.639 congratulations to both the teams capturing a win. So this 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:06.639 is the sort of self evidently reasonable thing that should 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:10.720 be completely unremarkable. But we had gotten as a country 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:15.480 so far off track, the track being common sense and reasonableness, 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.760 that this seems notable. Pete Hegzeth the other day, I've 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:20.760 been wanting to get to this for several days. Signed 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:23.800 a memo ordering the military to adopt the same standards 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:28.640 for men and women serving in combat roles on Sunday, 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:31.560 which is again so self evidently reasonable. 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:33.000 I can't believe there's an argument over it. 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.440 If you can perform the same require whatever the requirements 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:38.920 are set by military people that know how many push 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:40.679
