1
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong, and.

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: Jackie and he.

4
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: Armsdronget Yay, it's Brian in a dimly lit room even

5
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: in the bowels and the Armstrong and Getty communications compound.

6
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: Hey, y'all headed into the weekend. We're under the tutelage

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: of our general manager.

8
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 4: Well, our general manager is going to be the title

9
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 4: of the new movie I'm writing, and I haven't settled

10
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 4: on a title yet, Michael, I would like your opinion

11
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 4: on this place. In particular, it has to do with

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 4: the canceling of all those flights that could well screw

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 4: up everybody's holidays. The title's either going to be the

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 4: air Apocalypse, plane Pain, or my personal favorite, or what

15
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 4: the heck was it gonna be? Wait a minute, oh,

16
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 4: Departure to Hell.

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: I like plane Pain. Is Departure to Hell gonna be

18
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 2: like a horror movie?

19
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 4: Uh No, it's just a travel horror. Yeah, which is,

20
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 4: you know, pretty horrible horror when.

21
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: You're in the middle of it. So Air Apocalypse or whatever,

22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: I could see a star being attached to that. I

23
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: feel like Plane Pain is gonna have Jesse Smolette in

24
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: the lead. Mm yeah, straight to video. It's made for

25
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: TV movie air Apocalypse. Now, I'd probably get sued, which

26
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: could be good publicity.

27
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 4: Then we change it to Departure from Hell or to Hell,

28
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 4: not from Hell to Hell.

29
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: Departure from Hell would be a good thing. So, if

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: you haven't paid attention, we all woke up to the

31
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: you know, this is an ongoing story and they're making

32
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: this up as they go along. But so they announced

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: the ten percent airports yesterday and they've decided to roll

34
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: out what four percent today, So so far it's two

35
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty flights or something like that, and by

36
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: Tuesday it'll be eight percent, and then it'll ramp up

37
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: if the shutdown continues to hit ten percent by a

38
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: week from today, I believe, which would be your forty

39
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 2: five hundred flights canceled per day. Here'sn't a wrinkle. I

40
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: hadn't heard and I don't quite understand, but they had

41
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: somebody representing pilots for some reason. Doing this is going

42
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: to cause us to chew through all those extra hours

43
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: of availability pilots build up through the year so that

44
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: come holiday season they have pilots they can draw on

45
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: if the weather turns really bad, because otherwise you end

46
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: up in those situations where you know there are mandated

47
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: only be able to fly so many hours per day

48
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: or week or whatever it is, and you end up

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: with you got pilots hanging around, but they've reached their limit.

50
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: They can't fly. And that's why nobody can go on

51
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: a you know, bad weather Thanksgiving long weekend or whatever.

52
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: They build up hours of availability headed into the bad

53
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: weather holiday season to have pilots, and for some reason,

54
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: and I don't quite get it, they're gonna be chewing

55
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: through those starting today. I don't get why that is,

56
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: but I don't know that's what they claim is going

57
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: to happen. But if that's his point was, this will

58
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: even if the shutdown ends on Tuesday, it will take

59
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: weeks or beyond Thanksgiving to get caught back up and

60
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: the building up the pilot hours that you need to

61
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: have in case the weather turns bad.

62
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: Right right, Speaking as a guy who takes in an

63
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: enormous amount of news too much, it's made me a

64
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: bitter and miserable man. I have seen this story nowhere

65
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 4: except for the absolutely fabulous California Globe, californiaglobe dot com.

66
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: This ought to be leading every newscast in America, but

67
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: it's not because of their overt bias. Five hundred tourism

68
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: businesses warned of the Thanksgiving chaos and urged Congress to

69
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: pass a clean resolution, including the US Travel Association super heavyweights.

70
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: Five hundred of them have said pass a clean resolution and.

71
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: Stop this funny.

72
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 4: They didn't lead with that on any of the newscasts

73
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 4: because that is a directly at the Democrats, because the

74
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 4: Republicans have voted what is it seventeen eighteen thirty seven

75
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 4: times now to have a clean resolution and get on

76
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 4: with it, but the Democrats insist, no, we've got to

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 4: extend the super giant COVID Obamacare subsidies or we won't

78
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 4: let the government open.

79
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: Nobody's reporting honestly on this. It's outrageous. Yeah, And part

80
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: of that might be because they know that whole pilot thing,

81
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: for instance, that even if the shutdown ends two weeks

82
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: before Thanksgiving, like a week from now, they're going to

83
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: be ripple effects on flights for clear through Thanksgiving. I mean,

84
00:04:53,200 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 2: the tentacles of that with hotels and restaurants and just

85
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: everything else, not to mention the misery of not getting

86
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: to go where you wanted to go for Thanksgiving or

87
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: have the people show up at your house. But yeah, god,

88
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: the costs on that. That's probably all those businesses are saying, Hey,

89
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: let's end this nonsense. And one of the problems will

90
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: continue to shovel enormous mountains of money into Obamacare, which

91
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: goes to what the poor and down truck. No, it

92
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: goes to insurance companies. Craig, the healthcare guru, has been

93
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: telling us from the beginning, We're gonna get crazy ass

94
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: rich from this fixed system. I was just reading Mark

95
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: Alprin's analysis of the shutdown at this point, being that

96
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: both sides feel like they're gonna Both sides are desperately

97
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: afraid of being just getting killed by their base if

98
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: they are the ones that cave give in. Both sides

99
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: horrified by that. Look like if the Republicans would decide, okay,

100
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: we'll extend the Obamacare benefits, or if the Democrats come

101
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: in and say, okay, we'll sign the clean resolution, both

102
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: sides are horrified about how their side will perceive their

103
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: weakness over that and then themselves into a corner, painted themselves

104
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 2: into a corner. And what was the other thing? I

105
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 2: had another thing on that on why he thinks this

106
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: isn't going to end soon. There's no good will between

107
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 2: either side. But that's like not breaking news for anyone

108
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: that there's very little incentive for them right now. But

109
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: I heard of Washington Post columnists say, and I thought

110
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: this was pretty good. And I can't stand him, and

111
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 2: he's a lefty, right, but he might be right. He said,

112
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: the Democrats get to go out there saying this is

113
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: going to raise your healthcare costs, and Republicans are out

114
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 2: there saying we need a clean CR and people are like,

115
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: what the hell is a crred percent? And just in

116
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: terms of the argument, one is my healthcare is going

117
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: to go up, the other one is some congressional thing

118
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 2: I've never heard of.

119
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 4: Allegedly the two sides are getting together for some sort

120
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 4: of face saving solution resolution today.

121
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: Who knows. We'll see that happens. We'll tell you, yeah,

122
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: well that was all right. It's adjusting the thermostat. That's

123
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: what's where I go whenever I walk off microphone. If

124
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: you're ever wondering, I go over to the thermostat in

125
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: the morning, it's cold. Is the dark surface of the moon,

126
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: the dark side of the moon. I thought it was

127
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: just old age. You just were wandering on it, just

128
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: wandered off. It says we got to put them on

129
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: a leash, you forget them at work, and I just

130
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: water off. Katie. Yesterday morning, you were like, why am

131
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: I over here? The President got right out, understand what

132
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: was the saying? Oh, the other analysis was there are

133
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: no like, there's no gang of five or gang of

134
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 2: eight or whatever that used to exist all the time

135
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: that would make the news. According to Mark Alvilm's right,

136
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: there's no Joe Lieberman's and John McCain's, the people that

137
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: are friends across the aisle and they can be the

138
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: grown ups and get together and come up. But it

139
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: just doesn't exist anymore, right, And a lot of people

140
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: are screaming thank god, although I don't know what the

141
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: proof is that that's good at this point.

142
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 4: I heard the other day that the Problem Solvers Caucus

143
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 4: in the House had come up with some sort of

144
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: plan that they were trying to promote, and I thought, wow, okay,

145
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 4: all right, this is an interesting development. And then the

146
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: guy just mentioned like three people, maybe four. I don't

147
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: know what you know about the House of Representatives, but

148
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 4: there's hundreds of them running around, so I don't know

149
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 4: if there's more to that caucus or not.

150
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: But I'm like, what three or four people?

151
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 5: What? Eh?

152
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: This is no way to run a republic. Here is

153
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: the most interesting thing I've heard today. Trump claims that

154
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: this new deal he's got with the weight loss drugs

155
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: is going to take one of your most popular ones.

156
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: I don't remember which one. It doesn't make any difference.

157
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: It's gonna go from thirteen hundred and fifty dollars a

158
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: month to two hundred and fifty dollars a month. Oh mind.

159
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: That's a major change. That takes it from affordable to

160
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: only a few to affordable to quite a few, especially

161
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: if that's a high priority to you. Rearrange your life

162
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 2: to where you you know you can carve out that

163
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 2: two fifty a month.

164
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: That would be tempted to consult my physician, but I

165
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 4: so absolutely, and I was listened to a doctor go

166
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 4: on and on about this.

167
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 2: That's your opening dose of I've got to lose the weight.

168
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: First of all, they're talking about the one hundred sum

169
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: diseases that are mostly affected by obesity, that could taper

170
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: way back if the population, you know, make America thin again.

171
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: Was what doctor Oz said yesterday. If if just as

172
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: a whole we lose a bunch of weight, just hundreds

173
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 2: of diseases that would be affected. But the doctor has

174
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 2: listened to today said that that's the opening cost, in

175
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: the opening dose. The belief is that once you lose

176
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: the amount of weight you want to lose, you could

177
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: taper down to a maintaining dose. There would be lower

178
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: and cheaper and just stay on that right, right, So

179
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 2: this first, again, I've been saying this for a long time.

180
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: I really think it now. I think pretty soon practically

181
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: everybody you know is going to be on one of these. Yeah,

182
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: it would not surprise me at all, which could be awesome.

183
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: I mean, we could see the pictures throughout history, you know,

184
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: where you see a high school class from nineteen eighty

185
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: and you think, look than everybody is, and now you

186
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: see it in everybody's fat. We might see look at

187
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 2: the class of twenty and thirty five.

188
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 4: Everybody's then again, right, and it's entirely possible to be

189
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: able to tweak these drugs a little bit. As the uh,

190
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 4: you know, the tro the experience with them grows so

191
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: that some of the side effects are less and they're

192
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 4: even more effective.

193
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: Who knows. Yes, Michael means there's gonna be a lot

Speaker 4: That's always been one of our greatest strengths. I mean

00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:46,080

Speaker 4: and they crashed into a petroleum recycling center who had

263
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 4: giant tanks of fuel.

264
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 7: From the Wall Street Journal, Ford considers terminating the electric

265
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 7: version of its Ford F one fifty pickup, a move

266
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 7: that would make the money losing truck America's first major

267
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 7: EV casualty.

268
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,040

270
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: They tried to make an electric one. People don't like

271
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: electric cars. You can say whatever you want about them.

272
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: Joe Biden can have all the meetings on the White

273

Speaker 2: House lawn with electric cars out there and drive around

274
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: and talk about it all that, but most people like

275
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: by far, most people don't want an electric car. And

276
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 2: Ford was strong armed into doing that in the first Sure,

277
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: they didn't want because they know they're in the business

278
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 2: of knowing what people want. These big American car companies,

279
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: they knew people didn't want the electric cars. They were

280
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: forced into it by the government, and as soon as

281
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: you rolled back the mandates, they're like cool, cool. Can

282
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: I get rid of this? This is a money loser.

283
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: That's so maddening to me that the freaking democratic organization

284
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: of the whole thing is the Senate, and Biden and

285
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: everybody else tried to force America, one of our biggest

286
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: interest industries into doing something nobody wanted.

287
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:26,680

Speaker 2: Wow, it turns out he's a job in other ways. Right.

292
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 4: It's like that inmate we talked about the other day,

293
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 4: who a judge declared has to get a taxpayer sponsored

294
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 4: sex change. The PAS guy is a child molesting, child

295
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 4: porn manufacturing, sick piece of crap. And the newest twist

296
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 4: on his twistedness is I want to be a girl.

297
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 2: Now, No, we're not paying for that. What if we

298
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: become we're insane.

299
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 4: That a judge would say, yeah, you have to pay

300
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 4: for that because that's a medical condition, it's a psychological condition.

301
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: Put them in a padded room. That's what we need

302
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: to do.

303
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 7: From USA today, dating trends reached new lows this year.

327
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: the word of the next year, affordability. Last night, my

328
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 2: kids were with me. We had to go to a

329
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: CBS to get two things. It was forty dollars. My

330
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: son said, it was forty dollars to buy these two things.

331
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: I said yeah. And we went over to the grocery

332
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 2: store to buy our stuff for tacos, a couple other things.

333
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: It was one hundred and thirty bucks. Wow, my son said,

334
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 2: it was one hundred and thirty bucks for all that.

335
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: I said, yeah, we just spent one hundred and seventy dollars.

336
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 2: Like I'm living in some sort of South American Banana Republic.

337
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: I know, local currency is going to carry around a wheelbarrow.

338
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: And to that point, The New York Post with an

339
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: article out today which I'll get to in just a

340
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: moment about hey, Donald Trump, stop saying that you've whipped

341
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: inflation and goes through some of the numbers. We'll get

342
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 2: to those in just a minute. It's troubling.

343
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 4: Matthew Count and Eddy in the Free Press an absolutely

344
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 4: brilliant piece about how Republicans had better refocus on kitchen

345
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 4: table issues because a lot of the affordability stuff the

346
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 4: Democrats like Momdonni, you're selling our fantasies. I mean they

347
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 4: cannot happen economically. In fact, they'll achieve the opposite. But

348
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 4: the serious policy that tends to lower prices, or at

349
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 4: least not them let them go up as fast. They

350
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 4: need to focus on that or they will be screwed.

351
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 4: Because the elections yesterday, and we'll get to Cow in

352
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 4: just a second, but the election results that came out

353
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 4: this week, it's easy to dismiss them as few blue states,

354
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 4: but if you look at a bunch of different districts

355
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 4: in a bunch of different states, one thing that was

356
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 4: unmistakable is the gains among Hispanics vanished in a bunch

357
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 4: of different places.

358
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: The idea that Trump.

359
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 4: Has moved the Hispanics over to the Republican Party and

360
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 4: not so fast. So anyway, we're on that to come

361
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: right now, it's Friday tradition. Let's take a fond look back.

Speaker 2: a woman and every rights, and not one a man

376
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: in the restroom when I'm naked.

377
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 4: Mostly the undertones come across as transphobic and racist as well, because.

378
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 7: A lot of players in the league have messaged me

379
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 7: and reached out saying they do agree, but they're fearful

380
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 7: to speak of God.

381
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,399

382
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: goes wrong, get your boots on. Let school walking. It's

383
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 2: actually funny. It was December eighteenth. I remember because that's

384
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: an important date to me, and as Joseph Stalin's birthday.

385
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 2: I'm a fan character AI, a bot generating app that

386
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: connects users with fictional bought friends.

387
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: Ended up with the bots initiating romantic kiss.

388
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: We also have to work those sort of the dark side,

389
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 2: if you will.

390
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: When the day starts with Dick Cheney, you're being dead,

391
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: it ends with Mom Donnie winning.

392
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: Yes, so hear me.

393
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 3: President Trump when I say this, to get to any.

394
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 2: Of us, you will have to get through all of

395
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: us every couple of years or so. We need a conspicuous,

396
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: confined experiment with socialism so we can crack it up again.

397
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: I'm a democratic socialist who is also a democrat.

398
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 6: Nothing I just like more than the politician that has

399
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 6: sits there and lies to you.

400
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: It's just a vile creature, the worst thing along face

401
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: of the earth with Japanese trousers. And this is our

402
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: debut single Lampshade of the Sky, Clips of a Winch.

403
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 2: There's several things in there I'd like to comment on,

404
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 2: but we already have. Mostly I'm just and I'm often

405
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 2: awestruck by this. That was all this week. Yeah, stunning,

406
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: isn't it? No wonder we're all anxious. I was listening

407
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: to the National Review podcast yesterday and they were all

408
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: doing a little retrospective on Dick Cheney dying Vice President

409
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 2: Dick Cheney, and somebody bringing up just the idea. He

410
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: was serious. He was a serious man. He took all

411
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: this seriously and had serious conversations. And we just don't

412
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: do that anymore. Everything is performative and jokey and trolling,

413
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: and you just don't sit down and have no this

414
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: is a really serious conversation. Right.

415
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 4: This sounds elitist because it is whether you're running a

416
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 4: corporation or running for class president, or running for political office,

417
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 4: or discussing politics on a much bigger setting like the

418
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 4: US of A.

419
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: If you.

420
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 4: Restrict the discussions to the most serious, learned people, it's

421
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: going to be a very very different discussion, obviously than

422
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 4: if you go way down to the lowest common denominator,

423
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 4: because you have to craft the discussion to move the

424
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 4: most of those people and the whole rock the vote thing,

425
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 4: you know, trying to get more and more more and

426
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 4: more turnout sounds lovely in principle, but we need you know,

427
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 4: it'd be interesting and I don't know how to do

428
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 4: this in kind of a neutral way that didn't offend everybody.

429
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: But there ought to be a study, a thorough study

430
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 4: of how knowledgeable and what's.

431
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: The words I keep using, the words serious? We both

432
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 2: do knowledgeable and intent on getting to the truth people

433
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: are in this country and your bottom twenty five percent

434
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 2: would not vote, they should not participate in guiding the

435
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: ship of state. And I know that sounds elitist, but

436
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: why you know what it's not. It's antetized, a bunch

437
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: of people deciding who shouldn't participate. You see what he

438
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: did there, folks? Yeah?

439
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 4: Nice, Why don't you go right for the New York Times.

440
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 4: It's not elitist, it's anti ignoramus.

441
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 2: Oh, I agree, it's just hard to present it in

442
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: a way that is obviously sounding elitist. Those of us

443
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: who are smarter will make decisions for you that you

444
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: will live under eye. I don't want to sound elitist, but.

445
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 4: Well, and the interesting part is, of course you know,

446
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 4: and several of you are probably shouting right now at

447
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 4: your listening device, Hey dude, it was like the educated

448
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 4: elite that elected Mumdani. So you know it's the over

449
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: educated white women of America who keep voting for these

450
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 4: economic policies that can possibly work. So it's Friday week,

451
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 4: and limprist admit as well, we got a couple of

452
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 4: fun things. We got to get two since its Friday

453
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 4: Katie's gonna win an hour or two. We've got to

454
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 4: get to the dating trends of shrekking throning and whatever.

455
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 4: That other was one was that I've never heard of

456
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 4: bank saying banks seeing which is the artist Banksy. Anyway,

457
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 4: I've got something that's entertaining. I don't know if it's funny,

458
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 4: it's frightening as hell. The New York Times did a

459
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 4: profile on I think three different people. I read it

460
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 4: last night. I couldn't stop reading it. Three different people

461
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 4: that are in relationships with chatbots, romantic relationships.

462
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: Oh boy, And I mean it's one hundred percent serious. Wow.

463
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 2: And so yeah, I want to pass that along to you,

464
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: but I want to get to see it's not gonna

465
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: help me have any faith in humanity in the future.

466
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 2: Right after this, I want to tell you the numbers

467
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: of the New York Post wanted Donald Trump to see

468
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 2: so he doesn't go around claiming he's whipped inflation. Hit

469
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 2: hit with that in just a second.

470
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 4: And there's even greater significance, I think, to the fact

471
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 4: that the New York Post is out and proud with

472
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 4: that article. Yeah, yeah, After a quick word from our

473
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 4: friends that simply save home security.

474
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,200

Speaker 2: We love simply Safe because it can stop a crime

477
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: before it starts. These AI cameras identify a threat, they

478
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: alert the live agents at simply Safe. They immediately let

479
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 2: the creep no, they're on camera, and if they don't leave,

480
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 2: the cops will be dispatched before your windows get smashed. Yeah.

481
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 2: I like simply Safe. I love the fact that I've

482
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: got that sign out front letting people know that I

483
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 2: got the cameras, I got the censors, I got all

484
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 2: this tech. Simply Safe is simple to set up. You

485
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: can set it up yourself where they can get people

486
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: to help you up you want. It's easy to order.

487
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 2: And how about this the fact that there's no contract

488
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: you signed, so you're not locked in for a year

489
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 2: or two. Like a lot of security systems, you're not

490
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: locked in at all with simply Safe. Yeah. Absolutely fantastic.

Speaker 2: There's no safe like simply save. Yes, you picked up

497
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 2: on this. Maybe it was a little too subtle for

498
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: me to mention it was the New York Post. The

499
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 2: fact that the New York Post, which tends to love

500
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 2: many things that Donald Trump does, out today with a hey,

501
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: slow down, Donald Trump, with saying you whipped inflation. Here

502
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: are the numbers, with a social media post that said

503
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: stop lying about there being affordability crisis. President Trump claims

504
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: he's whipped inflation. Consumers are feeling the squeeze. Rights to

505
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 2: the New York Post, Targets prices are up five point

506
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: five percent nationwide this year. That's a noticeable amount. Walmart's

507
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 2: are up five point three percent, according to Riesi's recent analysis.

508
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: Amazon's prices have averaged more than twelve percent according to

509
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: a report, so after seven months under Trump's tariffs or

510
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: other economic factors that had been going on for quite

511
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: a while. In addition to that, Americans are paying more

512
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: for nearly everything from a cup of coffee to a

513
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: living room sofa, to children's toys to whatever you buy.

514
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 2: Five percent increase at Target and five point three at Walmart,

515
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: and twelve percent Amazon is a very noticeable amount. And

516
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: to your point about the whole the Hispanic photograph, we

517
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 2: probably misread the election, which is what happens like every

518
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: election is almost completely misread in retrospect, with the hindsight

519
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: you figured out, it was just plain affordable. People couldn't

520
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 2: stand how expensive they were, so they booted out the

521
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 2: current leader so that the new guy. I mean, it

522
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: wasn't deeper politics than that, philosophy or all these different

523
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: sort of things. Things are too expensive, just like I

524
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: was talking about last night, I made two stops at

525
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: the store and both of them are like what that cost?

526
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: What Both Times and people across America are saying that,

527
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: And they booted out the last person, and they might

528
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: boot up this group of people if things are still expensive.

529
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: I think it's only slightly more subtle than that, in

530
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 2: that it was the border and and prices, a border

531
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 2: and kitchen table affordability. Well, the borders fixed, so now

532
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: we're down to bread.

533
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 4: So although there are real signs that the hyper aggressive

534
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 4: deportation round up thing has gone too far for a

535
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 4: lot of even Trump supporters, you know, whether that's legit

536
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 4: or not or should be, we can argue about another time.

537
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 4: And so it's a yeah, we'll give it a minus.

538
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: On the immigration stuff, definitely an a, but an a minus.

539
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 4: And on the affordability stuff, not good at all. And

540
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 4: if you were to ask the average American working family,

541
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 4: all right, if you could only choose.

542
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: One of those things, oh yeah, they.

543
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 4: Would probably think, jeez, I really really want to see

544
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 4: the border close because this is absurd. It's obscene, But

545
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 4: I gotta feed my kids. I guess I'll take. You know,

546
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 4: a good economy and quashing inflation.

547
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,239
Speaker 2: Well, one of them is real, but theoretical, and you know,

548
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: in an argument to be had in a newspaper or whatever,

549
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: you get slapped in the face every se day, your

550
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: cup of coffee and your gas and your grocery store stopping.

551
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just insane and I don't know if

552
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: anything can be done about it. Of course tariffs didn't help, but.

553
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 4: We well know, and it was just way too much

554
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 4: that had to be really carefully done because you're coming

555
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 4: out of an era of terrible inflation which was brutal

556
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 4: to human beings. And keeping in mind now it's about

557
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 4: three percent. That's three percent on top of all the

558
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 4: inflation of the last several years. It compounds.

559
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: It's not three percent of the original total, it's three

560
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 2: percent of the brand new, bloated total. It's like compound

561
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: interest in reverse. And so if he was gonna do

562
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: the tariff thing and really get tough on trade deals

563
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 2: and on shore manufacturing, but we'll have to weather a

564
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: long period of significantly higher prices. That would have been

565
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: a red flag right there. Who whoa whoa whoa whoa

566
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: whoa whoa whoa.

567
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 4: Higher prices is the one thing we can't have. We've

568
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 4: got to be really, really careful about this. And instead

569
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 4: of really really careful, Trump went with extremely broad and

570
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 4: aggressive I think it was a misstep.

571
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think there's a hell of a lot

572
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: of people across the country that vote that would say,

573
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: I don't even know what a tariff is, but my

574
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: grocery bill's too high, and that's all they care. Fair enough,

575
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: And we got mail bag on the way. We got

576
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: into that dating stuff that's going to be so danged

577
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 2: interesting in an hour two including people in relationships with abots.

578
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 2: Oh my, so many things going on in the world.

579
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: At the same time. They I won't to do it.

580
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: I was about to do a bad economics thing that

581
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 2: came out today. But this New York Times story about

582
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 2: these three different people that are in serious relationships with

583
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 2: their AI chatbots. It's mind blowing. Oh boy, all right,

584
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: all right, I'll just stay tuned for that. I'm intrigued.

585
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 4: I was looking at today in history just for chuckles.

586
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 4: Today was the day the first woman was elected to

587
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 4: Congress in nineteen sixteen. Isn't that wonderful?

588
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 2: Going down? Oh what?

589
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 4: Now, come on, Now, here's your freedom loving one of

590
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 4: the day. We're taking a break against my better judgment.

591
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 2: I kid with her.

592
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 4: Oh with our series from John Stuart Mill who I

593
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 4: revere his book on liberty, just because this is so

594
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 4: timely sent along by Jeff honorary producer Jeff, who's just

595
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 4: a great contributor.

596
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: Your quote is from zoron Mumdani in twenty twenty five.

597
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: There is no problem too large for government to solve,

598
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: and no concern too small for it to care about.

599
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: And then he also quotes Benito Mussolini from nineteen twenty five.

600
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against

601
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: the state. I remember, as a college boy it struck

602
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: me that the horseshoe principal horseshoe theory. They're teaching us

603
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 2: about communism, fascism, and not like if effectively these are

604
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: the same system They just use slightly different rationales for

605
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: getting to their complete control of society.

606
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 4: And denial of individual liberty. Anyway, thank you, Jeff well

Speaker 4: the redistricting conundrum, and.

617
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,760

618
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: have sixty percent Democrats forty percent Republicans, there's an expectation

619
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 2: that we want sixty percent of the congressional representatives to

620
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: be Democrats and forty percent Republicans. Roughly but if Republicans

621
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 2: and Democrat voters were completely evenly distributed geographically, no matter

622
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: how the map partitions voters geographically, every district would contain

623
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 2: sixty forty and that would result in one hundred percent

624
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: congressional representatives being Democrats, which is.

625
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 4: A bit of a conundrum. It's a flawed system. No

626
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 4: gerrymandering requiring required. I came across a solution to that problem.

627
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 4: It would take a constitutional amendment, but I think it's

628
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 4: really really good and.

629
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 2: I want to hit that next hour. That's true, and

630
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 2: that would be a problem. But if you look at

631
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 2: maps at any state in California, the same way you've

632
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: seen the county maps, there's tons of red counties that

633
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,959
Speaker 2: are majority Republican. It's not yeah you know, yeah, indeed yep.

634
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 2: I got this from Jason listening to your conversation about

635
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: the dramatic increase in young children identifying as trans and

636
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 2: then the huge drop off.

637
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 4: More on that to come. Thought you'd appreciate this elementary

638
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 4: school near me. This was on their electronic billboard.

639
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 2: We celebrate our LGBTQ students. So they aren't accepting those

640
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 2: folks or supportive, No, they celebrate them. Wonder if they

641
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: celebrate the straight kids. Seems like the schools are pushing

642
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 2: kids toward being trans rather than simply accepting every child

643
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 2: as they are. That's true. Actually, that's a part of neomarxism.

644
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: If you can get people on the other side of

645
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: the powers that be, whether sexual reasons, racial reasons, you're colonized,

646
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 2: you're oppressed, whatever, that's all you want is to get

647
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: them to reject the current system. That's how you overthrow

648
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 2: the system. We just got Queer means I'm not answering

649
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: to the man. That's all it means. We just got

650
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 2: this text. This day in history was that Nancy Pelosi,

651
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: the first woman in Congress in nineteen sixteen. That's correct,

652
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: speaking which speaking of whom JK writes. No matter how

653
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: many accolades people try to lay on Pelosi, I say,

654
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 2: ding dong, the witch is dead. Her biggest accomplishment, and

655
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 2: that's a negative one, is she took away the ability

656
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: to think and act independently by any Democratic House members.

657
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: It was get in line with her be excommunicated.

658
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 4: That's still the case today, one solid, stupid block of

659
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 4: House stems. She was praised in politics for her ability

660
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 4: to discipline her caucus.

661
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and never bring a bill to the floor unless

662
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 2: you know it's going to pass.

663
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 4: And finally, Christo and Reno writes, Hey, guys, it's very

664
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 4: clear the Republicans have been missing the mark of who

665
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 4: to blame for the shutdown. AOC is to blame for this.

666
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 4: They need to call her out and make her promise

667
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 4: not to primary Chuck Schumer. If she did that, maybe

668
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 4: Chuck would feel better and instruct his colleagues to sign

669
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 4: the clean.

670
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 2: Cr Call her out. Are any of you people throning

671
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: this weekend in the dating world, whatever the hell that is.

672
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: We'll learn about that inn hour two. If you don't

673
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: get a good the podcast Armstrong and Getty
