1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and he.

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: This is the largest state sponsor of terror that we're

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: dealing with. I think after Maduro, every adversary like the

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 3: Eyetolas should be in a little bit of a cheer

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 3: factor as to what this president may or may not

9
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: do the people of Iran. Ultimately, they're not prepared to

10
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 3: overthrow the eye Toola as we speak. President's pre positioned

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 3: military assets to deal with this issue. And I know

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: he has a lot of options on the table right now.

13
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he does have a lot of options on the

14
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: table right now. Is listen to a podcast last night

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: with Eli Lake. I don't know how many of the

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: all know who he is, really interesting report, but he

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: said one of the not reported on enough angles of

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: this attack on Iran is that, uh so, these protests

19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: emerge in the street and grow, and then there are

20
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: the threats and then Trump comes out with his red line.

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: If you start shooting protesters in the street, you know,

22
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: then I got their back, and then we don't do anything.

23
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: And that's because Trump was informed by uh, you know,

24
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: people in the Pentagon and other people that hey, we

25
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: we have used a lot of our air defense systems

26
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: and all kinds of stuff that we need if we're

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: going to go to war with Iran. A lot of

28
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: it's gone to Iraq, Ukraine and Israel, and you know

29
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: that sort of thing, and that this is you know,

30
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: not getting enough attention. That the thing that a lot

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: of people were complaining about with back in Ukraine and

32
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: Israel has come to a situation where we want to

33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: do something, but we got to wait because we don't

34
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: have as much stuff in our arsenal because we helped

35
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: out these other people.

36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 4: I remember talking about that a few years ago, at

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: the replacement rate for artillery and various weapons systems and

38
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: how we were burning through it at you know, five

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: hundred units a year when we can only produce.

40
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: Thirty four units per year. It's not difficult match to do. Yeah. Interesting.

41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: Well, Plus, so much of our offensive firepower was in

42
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 4: the Caribbean to snatch up Maduro.

43
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an interesting one.

44
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: So first of all, let us touch on the topic

45
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: of having assets in places coming up. By the way,

46
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 4: the the Light's list of insulting nicknames.

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: Trump is used for various people.

48
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 4: We have what it purports to be a complete list,

49
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 4: Stay with us, both hilarious and somewhat discouraging.

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Hit Oh.

51
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 4: This is from one of my favorite open source intelligence websites,

52
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: Twitter accounts, newsletters, et cetera. Satellite imagery of the oh.

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 4: Careful with pronouncing this moa FOWK Salty Air Base, yority.

54
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: It's their last show, Michael, thank you for support. Yeah,

55
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: We're done.

56
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 4: It was captured by various satellite imagery companies and obtained

57
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 4: by The Washington Post shows at least a apparently they

58
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 4: still have people who can receive you know, satellite imagery

59
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: at the Washington Post few remaining employees shows at least

60
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 4: a dozen F fifteen E Strike Eagles along with nine

61
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: AC ten Thunderbolt twos on the tarmac at the base.

62
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: As the ongoing built up of military aircraft in the

63
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: Middle East by the US Air Force continues directed at Iran.

64
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 4: This deployment represents classic strike staging. Forward positioning a ten

65
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 4: Thunderbolt twos and F fifteen Strike Eagles to Jordan is

66
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 4: not a routine rotation or show of force measure. These

67
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 4: platforms are optimized for short range, high intensity operations against

68
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: tardened or mobile ground targets in a pre scouted battle space.

69
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: The A ten is built for close air support and

70
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 4: battlefield interered adiction, not extended deterrence patrols. The F fifteen

71
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 4: E brings heavy precision guide munitions for deep strikes together.

72
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: Their presence points to preparations for rapid follow on kinetic

73
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: operations once the initial engagements begin. This setup reflects late

74
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 4: stage logistical preparation for offensive action.

75
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're gonna do, but I certainly

76
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: would not be shocked if we go full regime change,

77
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: like really big, loud, noisy show.

78
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: An attempt at regime change wouldn't shock me at all.

79
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: Now, I cannot answer to the expertise of the people

80
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 4: analyzing this, but they certainly certainly come off as knowledgeable.

81
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 4: The asset composition signals offensive intent. The A ten excels

82
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 4: at engaging armored or fortified ground forces in the aftermath

83
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 4: of opening moves. The F fifteen E provides standoff precision

84
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: against high value or time sensitive targets. This pairing is

85
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 4: characteristic of a plan to neutralize enemy defenses and mobile units.

86
00:04:53,760 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 4: Swiftly post initial contact. If Trump goes regime change in Iran,

87
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: that level of attack, that'll be the biggest thing he's

88
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 4: done in his presidency either term.

89
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, M that's a big deal.

90
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 4: Operational windows tightening, they say, concurrent patterns, heightened drone operations,

91
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 4: naval posturing and nearby waters, mounting diplomatic friction, and senior

92
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 4: statements referencing past operations like Midnight Hammer suggest the US

93
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 4: is moving to close out preparatory phases and establish a

94
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: defensible cossus belli. Each day without de escalation or concessions

95
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: incrementally raises the likelihood of execution. Okay, And then I

96
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: thought this was interesting. Axio supporting plans for the US

97
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 4: Iran nuclear talks for tomorrow, Friday.

98
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: The what it will that be? The sixth? What is today? Yeah?

99
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: Okay, Friday the sixth, after several Middle Eastern leaders urgently

100
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: lobbied the Trump administration on Wednesday afternoon not to follow

101
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 4: through on threats to walk away. According to TOW, US officials,

102
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: here just to give you a fee of how the

103
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 4: talks about the talks are going. The talks will be

104
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 4: held in Oman, as Iran insisted, despite the US initially

105
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 4: rejecting changes to the original plan to meet in Istanbul.

106
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 4: At least nine countries from the region reached out to

107
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 4: the White House at the highest level, strongly urging the

108
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 4: US not to cancel the meeting. They asked us to

109
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: keep the meeting listening to what the Iranians have to say.

110
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 4: We told the Arabs we will do the meeting if

111
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 4: they insist, but we are very skeptical. Second US officials

112
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 4: sad the Trump administration agreed to hold the meetings to

113
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: be respectful to US allies in the region and quote

114
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 4: in order to continue pursuing the diplomatic track.

115
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: But here's what happened.

116
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 4: The Iranians on Tuesday said they want to move the

117
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 4: talks to Oman and hold them in bilateral format to

118
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 4: ensure that they focused only on nuclear issues and not

119
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 4: other issues like missiles that are priorities for the US

120
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 4: and others in the region. US officials that first opened

121
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 4: a reques to the request to change the location then

122
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 4: rejected it before reversing course once again. Iranian foreign minister

123
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 4: confirmed the talks were scheduled.

124
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: Blah blah bah. So as they told them it was

125
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: this or nothing, they said, okay, nothing set a senior official.

126
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: Then they went back and forth and back and forth.

127
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: So this happened sometimes in negotiations is did Trump just

128
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: hit them with something that no, they know they're not

129
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: that Iran will.

130
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: Never agree to.

131
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you agree to, that'd be great, then

132
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: we could avoid this whole problem. But you're never going

133
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: to agree to this kind of like what what Putin's

134
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: doing with Ukraine.

135
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, sho all around the war.

136
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: You just got to give me all the land, including

137
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: stuff that I haven't grabbed. You need to get rid

138
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: of your military, and I put in a president.

139
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: And I'll, uh, you know, then don't quit. We'll quit.

140
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 4: In a much more morally defensible illustration, I think what

141
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: the administration is saying, all right, you will cease to

142
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 4: be a malign actor in the region.

143
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: For that you will do these.

144
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 4: Five things, and then you can say, look, we aggressively

145
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: pursued diplomacy as opposed to warfare to accomplish our aims.

146
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 4: We had this damn meeting, all right, Now leave us alone.

147
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 4: We got some poman to do. A final note from

148
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: a top official in the Trump administration, we are not

149
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: naive about the Iranians. If there is a real conversation

150
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: to have. We will have it, but we are not

151
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 4: going to waste our time.

152
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: So here's the interesting thing I learned from reporter Eli

153
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: Lake yesterday. And I don't know if i'd heard this

154
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: term before. Elite cohesion. I guess it's a term in

155
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: political science. But you need to have elite cohesion to

156
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: hold these sorts of things together, your authoritarian regimes. And

157
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: the belief is that Iran may have lost their elite

158
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: cohesion in that a lot of people at very high levels,

159
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: like families you know whose dad is a Revolutionary Guard

160
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: member or whatever, we're not cool with murdering twenty thousand

161
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: young people in the streets. That was too far and

162
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: sorry for different reasons, whether it's for moral reasons or

163
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: you think, hey, we got a pretty good gig going here,

164
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: I've got a really good life, We're making a lot

165
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: of money.

166
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 4: What the hell? And when the mob comes for people's heads,

167
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 4: my head's going to be one of them.

168
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: Right, So the elite cohesion, maybe it may have been

169
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: damaged a lot by that. Really really strong reaction is

170
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: you keep pointing out multiple is bigger than Tieneman Square,

171
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: which people still talk about forty years later, and so it's.

172
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: One of the biggest put downs of a revolt.

173
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: Ever, so if some of the elites are like the

174
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard are like, hey, hey, hey, talking amongst ourselves here,

175
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: how about we get to get to grabbled weird Beard,

176
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: get him out of here, talk to Trump and say

177
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: we don't need a nuclear weapon and we're fine with that, right,

178
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: We just want to run this country, continue to be wealthy.

179
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: Et cetera. Yeah, exactly.

180
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 4: Once again, you must understand that the Revolutionary Guard is

181
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: not just a military force. It is a giant corporation

182
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 4: for profit. They own businesses and factories and tracts of

183
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 4: lands and hotels and god knows what else.

184
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: Of course, arguing with myself, I would have thought that

185
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: would have happened years ago with Putin. More now, four

186
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: years in, you'd have thought their elite cohesion would have

187
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: gone out the window, with all those oligarchs thinking, what

188
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: the hell are we accomplishing at the world's greatest life.

Speaker 1: What are we even trying to do with Ukraine? But

193
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: I'd rather have eight mistresses and four houses.

Speaker 5: World War One and he just went in.

224
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,840

232
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: who am I to judge? But yes, that would appear

233
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 4: to be the scenario here. The doctor says he was

234
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 4: quote in a state of extreme discomfort.

235
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,920

Speaker 2: was not his goal ordinance.

237
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,560

Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see.

244
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,600

245
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,720

00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: illegal immigration.

317
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 7: So I think we got to have tough conditions. Tell

318
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 7: people to come out of the shadows. If they've committed

319
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 7: a crime, deport them, no questions asked, they're gone.

320
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: If they crowd cheers, if.

321
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 7: They've been working and are law abiding, we should say

322
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 7: here are the can for you staying. You have to

323
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 7: pay a stiff fine because you came here illegally. You

324
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 7: have to pay back taxes, and you have to try

325
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 7: to learn English and you have to wait in line.

326
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: Listen to the crowd cheer like crazy too. You need

327
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: to learn English and wait in line and pay a

328
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: high fine for the Democrat candidate. Yeah, that's what people

329
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: who are doing nothing wrong other than being here illegally. Right,

330
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: if you're illegal and you're a criminal, you go immediately that,

331
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: no questions.

332
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: Ask people cheer of course not.

333
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, how did we move from there to

334
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: where we are now? Of course most of America is

335
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: still where Haillary was in two thousand and eight.

336
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 2: It's just that the media has moved right.

337
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: The media's activist leftists.

338
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: And what amazes me is.

339
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 6: They get away with this is wrong, and it's always

340
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 6: been wrong, and this is racist, and you know there's

341
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 6: no illegal people on still Land and everything like that,

342
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 6: and you're like, well, like eight years ago your party

343
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 6: was saying something completely different.

344
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: At least give me the life road map of how

345
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: you got here. No, it's always been wrong. You're racist.

346
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: It's white supremacy. No, they don't even dress it. They

347
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: just try to outshout everybody and win the poor impressionable kids. No,

348
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: it's self evidently wrong. Doesn't even need explanation, right, except

349
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: for just a few years ago, you're leading candidate and

350
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of you had her book on your

351
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: coffee table to show how enlightened you were. You don't

352
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: agree with her anymore. Apparently, all right, that's enough of that.

353
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 4: Well, just try to away that other just absolutely fundamental

354
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 4: truths have now been overturned. Apparently, So I thought this

355
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 4: was interesting article in the Wall Street Journal, the American

356
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 4: and Chinese economies are hurting, hurtling toward a messy divorce,

357
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 4: and they give a couple examples right off the bat.

358
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 4: In China's northeastern grain belt, farmers are getting a windfall

359
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,479
Speaker 4: from the government more subsidies to grow soybeans. China has invested.

360
00:19:55,080 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: A trillion dollars a trill in their agriculture sector to

361
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: be able to declare economic independence from the United States

362
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: and not need to rely on us to buy a

363
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: single thing, not a single soybee. A trillion dollar effort,

364
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: and then, as it says to the Wall Street Journal,

365
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: seventy five hundred miles away in Milwaukee, for instance, this is.

366
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: One in many, many, many, many situations.

367
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: And industrial parts manufacturers scrambling to use non Chinese made

368
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: components in its US factories. As a Trump administration wields

369
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: tariffs to force people into that situation, and everybody realizes

370
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: the direction this is going. The forces underlying these two

371
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: trends are driven by a reality settling in across Washington

372
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: and Beijing. The two countries are starting to manage a

373
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: messy divorce on the most sensitive issues of trade, and

374
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: both view it as a matter of national security and

375
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: something that absolutely has to be done.

376
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 2: So it is going to be done.

377
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: Chinese leaders have determined that decoupling or de risking is inevitable.

378
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: The ship fulfills a long standing Chinese ambition to no

379
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: longer be a junior partner to the West. It's a

380
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: break with decades of Beijing's orthodoxy. The Chinese economic success

381
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: depended on selling low cost goods to American schoomers. And

382
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: we would buy the low cost goods that were just crap,

383
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: absolutely pieces of crap that are.

384
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: Worthless that we would go out and buy.

385
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,239
Speaker 1: But it helped fund China and building its technological might

386
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: with US money and know how. But now they're just

387
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: we're not buying Chinese stuff, they're not using American stuff.

388
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 2: And it's going to be a fight to try to.

389
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: Get other countries to come into our orbit or their orbit.

390
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: And we'll see who writes right.

391
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 4: Well, they've decided they are smart and rich and capable

392
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 4: enough now to separate from the mothership.

393
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish them.

394
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: Ill, as it says here, as over the past year,

395
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: China has started to see the US as a peer equal,

396
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: no longer a behemoth they need.

397
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 4: To rely upon. Right right, Well, the messy divorce has begun.

398
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 4: The good news is there's not going to be any

399
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 4: her friends my friend's problem, because all of China's friends

400
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 4: are a holes they've got like Russia in Iran, North Korea,

401
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 4: although they're certainly trying trying to lure people into their orbit.

402
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 4: Although that you know, I'm not gonna go into a

403
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 4: lot of detail. But that was working really well for

404
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 4: a while, but then more and more countries got burned

405
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 4: by China being.

406
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: Utterly a moral, greedy, exploitive cruel.

407
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: I hope this, for you know, just forces us to

408
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 1: weaness ourselves off of crap, just buying crap. Example, at

409
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: our house the other night, pencil sharpener, little plastic pencil

410
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: sharpener thing bought at the Dollar Store for like, I don't.

411
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: Know, it's like a nickel.

412
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean it was so cheap, probably a couple bucks

413
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: by today's standards, with inflation everything like that, that thing

414
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: was literally worthless, well certainly worthless as a pencil sharpener.

415
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could come up with something

416
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: else to do with it. But I mean, there's there's

417
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: just worthless Chinese crap. And why stuff like that even exists.

418
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: Somebody makes that in a factory in China, just and

419
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: there's so many things like that Dollar Walmart, all these

420
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 1: stores are full of stuff that's worthless and it and

421
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: it gets manufactured and shipped all on the other side

422
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: of the world and distributed across the country and then

423
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: we buy it for some reason and then recognize, well,

424
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: this sucks. This tool. But the screwdriver turns the whole

425
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: the whole head turns when you turn the handle. But

426
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: whatever it is, but it's been continuing for years, I'm sorry.

427
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 4: Tell me again, what do you call this device that's

428
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 4: a pencil sharpener? And I have applied it to my

429
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 4: pencil and my pencil has not been sharpened.

430
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: So let's try it again. What do you call this device?

431
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: It's crap.

432
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: I talked about this a couple of weeks ago. I

433
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: just think it's so darn interesting. So there's a company

434
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: in Germany. I read about this in the New York

435
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: Times that makes pencils the way pencils used to be

436
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: when we were kids, the way a number two pencil

437
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: was when we were a kid. Those were good pencils.

438
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you use the cheap pencils now,

439
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: they are just worthless. They are worthless. You can't sharpet them,

440
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: the lead breaks, the eraser is nothing. The eraser is

441
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: just like a rock that tears up your paper. So

442
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: I bought these China. I bought these German pencils that

443
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: are just made exactly like pencils used to be made.

444
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: They're like a dollar a piece.

445
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: They're like a dollar apiece as opposed to you know,

446
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: ten for a buck, like you get at the dollar

447
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: tree or whatever, which.

448
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 2: Is, by the way, what pencils used to cost when

449
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: we were kids.

450
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: They probably adjusted for inflation, were like a dollar apiece.

451
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: But they were good. And both my sons doing homework like, wow,

452
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: this eraser actually works, and then canterpret it. I can

453
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: write like, you know, a whole paper on it and

454
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 1: everything like that. And I bought the same thing. The

455
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: same company makes a pencil sharpener and it was like

456
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: fifteen bucks. But it works great like pencils sharpeners used

457
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: to work. And just there's a million examples of that.

458
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: I think we can manuf act your stuff. That'll still

459
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: be relatively cheap, but you buy it once in your

460
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: life and it actually works right.

461
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: Right.

462
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 4: You remember those pencil sharpeners we used to have in

463
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 4: school that would be screwed to the wall, those super

464
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 4: heavy dudes. I mean, like after the bombing of Dresden,

465
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 4: all of those pencil sharpeners were still intact in Germany.

466
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: I bought one of those top put them on the

467
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: wall in our last house. I had it on the

468
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: wall just like the school one.

469
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: It was a heavy duty steel and it actually sharpened

470
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: your pencil.

471
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 4: That may be the first time I ever felt wealthy.

472
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 4: Was Judy and I got one of those pencil sharpeners

473
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 4: and put it on our wall for our kids. Yeah, exactly,

474
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 4: so they could sharpen pencils and style.

475
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: By god, that thing was effective.

476
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 2: Man, that's some US steel right there.

477
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: They have an important question that Katie Green needs to

478
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: be part of right after we tell you about rough Greens.

479
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: Katie Green is not involved with rough Greens. I don't

480
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 2: think Katie Greens, although she does have a dog and

481
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: she's using the stuff. You put it on top of

482
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 2: your dog food. Rough Greens. You don't replace your dog

483
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 2: food or change your dog food. It's something you add

484
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: to your dog food.

499
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: Out to eat last night and my fourteen year old

500
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: hit me with this question. What's the loudest noise the

501
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: human body can make? Not including your mouth? It's pretty

502
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: obvious once you think about it, but it's a good

503
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: for some reason. It sends you bad directions when you

504
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: first think of it.

505
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 4: Obviously everybody goes to explosive flat shows.

506
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: But clapping clapping is yes, that's my answer, clear obvious answer.

507
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: But I just thought that was clever in that it

508
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: immediately Why does it immediately send your brain to something

509
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: untoward when the answer is perfectly toward.

510
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 4: Well, if any question posed by a fourteen year old

511
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 4: boy sends me toward, all right, what's the gross or

512
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 4: improper answer to this?

513
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: He says? I was one once.

514
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 2: I know their game. That's a good one. So please clap.

515
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jeb, Low energy, Jeb.

516
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: Charlie Pooth is singing the national anthem on Sunday at

517
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl?

518
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: Is that a misprint? Charlie Pooh? I don't know Charlie Poos.

519
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: I've heard of him, but I don't think I know

520
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: his act Anyway, I guess roughly what he's like that.

521
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 4: He's a first class warbler. If he's singing a super Bowl.

522
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: Probably is and you can bet on the link of

523
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. So the over under is one hundred

524
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: and nineteen and a half seconds, So just under two

525
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: minutes is a national anthem?

526
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 2: Yes?

527
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: The length of the national anthem? Yes, yes, you said

528
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: the length of the super Bowl. I'm going with four quarters.

529
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: But I think you can bet on that too, because

530
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: is it going to be three and a half hours

531
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: or four hours or how long? But the length is

532
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: not four place the length of the national anthem. The

533
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: over under is about two minutes because historically that's about

534
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: where you know it comes in, and you can bet

535
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: on that. So I've got The longest national anthem ever

536
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: was Alicia Keys, who I really really like. Hers was

537
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: two thirty six. She really stretched that thing out. I'm

538
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: back in twenty thirteen. The shortest national anthem was in

539
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: the eighties, Neil diamond Don's duning Light Uh one minute

540
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: two seconds. Man, he hurried through that thing. Oh say,

541
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: can you see he must have really got to it

542
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: in his tight polyester pants. One minute two seconds He

543
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: cut it in ass, Did you have a where did

544
00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: you get after it? Did he have a plane to

545
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: get you need to pee? Or I don't know what's

546
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: the headmaker? Man, don't borus?

547
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: Get to the chorus?

548
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: Get this right to the versus skipped a couple versus right?

549
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: You know what? You're right.

550
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: He's from the era where a hit record was two

551
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: and a half minutes long. Sure, he thought, I gotta

552
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: get gotta get to the hook. Let's get to the hook.

553
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 1: Donz early night. But you can bet on all those

554
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: kinds of things. What are the other things you can

555
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: bet on? You're probably wondering yourself, or maybe you're not

556
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,479
Speaker 1: wondering that. I'm going to tell you anyway. Coin toss result,

557
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: gatorade color that will be thrown on the winning coach.

558
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: You can bet on what color the gatorade will be

559
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: orange or green usually the leading contenders. All kinds of

560
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: different stuffs will score. What team will score first? Will

561
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: it be a defensive score and a offensive score through

562
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: touchdown or a field goal? Or do you want to

563
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: go really wild and go safety or something like that?

564
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: All kinds of things you can bet on that take six.

565
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: There's one more good one. I wanted to get to

566
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: your color options for Gatorade are purple, orange, a little

567
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: blue and clear?

568
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: I think yellow and orange. I think that's where your

569
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: money is. Those are my tough flavors. For sure. You

570
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: can bet on whether or not.

571
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 4: It depends what color golf shirt I'm wearing on a

572
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 4: golf course because I can't be trusted with liquids or foods,

573
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 4: so I generally match my meal and or beverage to

574
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 4: what I'm wearing.

575
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 1: Every time it happens, the coach in question has a

576
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: brief look of God and then he realized, Oh, I

577
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: just one of the most important thing in my life.

578
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: So I guess I'll let it go.

579
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: But their first like facial expression is who did that?

580
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: Because you know I hate also very Coldho the hell

Speaker 2: Nobody, no one, And when.

00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: It first happened, my first reaction i' about to punch.

584
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, I just won the Super Bowl. I

585
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: suppose I shouldn't be happy. I'll let it go this time.

586
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: I always just think of the sticky Yeah, oh me too.

587
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: I hate being sticky. And you probably do hours of

588
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: interviews and talking hugging your wife and your kids and

589
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: the play and your covered in sticky, freezing cold goo

590
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:03,640

00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: Weatin no not again?

592
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: Oh you can bet, for instance, on will the Seahawks

593
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: attempt to pass from the opponent's one yard line.

594
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: Do people just do this for fun or are there.

595
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: People that like really study this an attempt to make

596
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: some money on the deal?

597
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 4: Now, I would say both, but much more of the former,

598
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 4: much more of people just taking a fly er. Ten

599
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 4: bucks on this, ten bucks on that, ten bucks on that,

00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 4: and you hoot an dollar.

601
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny halftime wardrobe exposure props. Whether something unexpected happens

602
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: during the halftime show performance, I'd have to know the

603
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: details on what counts as unexpected or not. I expect

604
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: the unexpected halftime first song by green Day Green Days playing.

605
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: Also did not know that you know that Katie Kate

606
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: Green Days involved in the halftime show? I believe are

607
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: they part of the halftime show.

608
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: Or part of the three openings. But I'll tell you

609
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: that's bad Bunny.

610
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: I think he's going to keep his mouth shut freaking

611
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: midget Billy Joe Armstrong hating midget. He is absolutely gonna

612
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: say something.

613
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 2: Elderly angry us hating midget.

614
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: Please, he is absolutely going to say something that makes

615
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: it hard for me to enjoy their music ever again,

616
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: shut up, and he'll say it in an English accent

617
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: because he's from Berkeley.

618
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 2: Inexplasibly, idiots.

619
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: We got more on the ways stay here, So maybe

620
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: we'll get to this a little bit later. LA Times

621
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: got a story that the mayor, Karen Bass, alterned reports

622
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: about the fire and the damage and the response to

623
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: cover up things that made them look bad. Freaking mayor

624
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: altering reports, according to the La Times.

625
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 2: So we'll get to that maybe an hour three.

626
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely shocking. It's somewhat unsurprised. So I came across this.

627
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 4: I apologize, I have mislaid something. Do you want to

628
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 4: tell us what we're going to do next hour?

629
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about the whole

630
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie's mom thing. We got some new stuff. They

631
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: put out a video, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings put

632
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: out a video aimed at the kidnapper or kid nappers

633
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: in theory. But we can get into that an hour three. Also,

634
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,479
Speaker 1: So this may make you angry.

635
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 4: I hope it doesn't, but it should a little bit,

636
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 4: and I secretly hope it does. Taking a look at inflation,

637
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 4: which Jack mentioned in the previous segment. A couple of

638
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 4: different times, in an offhand way, came across what a

639
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 4: friend called the goat of charts. It's overall inflation over

640
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 4: the last twenty five years from two thousand and one,

641
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 4: and then specific sorts of products and services and that

642
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 4: sort of thing.

643
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: Are you about to depress me because every time I

644
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: get no anger, it'll be anger every time I see

645
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 1: these things and realize how the amount of you know,

646
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars bill or one thousand dollars in your

647
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 1: savings account isn't exactly what you remember it being if

648
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: you haven't been paying attention to inflation.

649
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and that is part of my point. While

650
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 4: some aspects of this are super interesting, like the fact

651
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 4: that TVs are ninety eight percent less expensive. They're so

652
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 4: cheap than they were back in two thousand, computer software

653
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 4: and toys likewise down seventy three, seventy four percent, cell

654
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 4: phone services, clothing, new cars are actually down adjusted for inflation,

655
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. And then the most interesting, super hyperinflationary

656
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 4: things are hospital services number one, up two hundred and

657
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 4: eighty one percent. That's almost quadrupled since the year two thousand.

658
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: Okay, that that would explain it, because I've had a

659
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: couple of situations me and one of my kids where

660
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: the bills I got hit with were like, WHOA, what

661
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: would it be like if we had a real problem?

662
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 4: Right, speaking of read head mobbed up monopolies. College tuition

663
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 4: and fees is up just under two hundred percent in

664
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 4: twenty five years. College textbook, to be fair, you get

665
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 4: less for it, so that's a good point. College textbooks

666
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 4: are up one hundred and seventy seven percent, childcare, nursery

667
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 4: school up one hundred and sixty percent, medical care services

668
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 4: of one hundred and forty seven percent.

669
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: Hourly wages.

670
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 4: Average hourly wages are actually up one hundred and thirty

671
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,959
Speaker 4: one percent, housings up one hundred and eleven percent, food

672
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 4: and beverage hundred and six percent. Here's the part I

673
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 4: wanted to get to, and we're not going to have

674
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 4: much time for my rant. But overall, inflation is up

675
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 4: ninety three percent since two thousand, so one hundred dollars

676
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 4: worth of buying power in two thousand it would take

677
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 4: you one hundred and ninety eight dollars right now. It's

678
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 4: almost been cut in half. Put another way, because of

679
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 4: government policy flooding the economy with currency to buy favors

680
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 4: and to get elected over and over again. A dollar

681
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 4: you saved in the year two thousand is now worth

682
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 4: roughly fifty three cents. They have cut your life savings

683
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: in half to promote their own power. Inflation is a tax,

684
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 4: an unholy one.

685
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: That is so depressing if you think about it for

686
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 1: very long. Your four to one day pressing angering.

687
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 4: You gotta be angry, Get up off the couch, shake

688
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 4: your fist, Tom Armstrong and Getty
