WEBVTT - That's Because You ARE Really Old 0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:10.799 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong and 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:17.200 Jet and Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:27.560 And in this nationwide war over redistricting, we've seen the 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.760 two biggest states go first, the biggest red state, Texas. 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.040 You mentioned those five additional seats red. Yeah, and there's 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.400 not a lot of blue. They're squeezing that big time. Now, 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:40.400 what we're seeing the opposite in California, where the Democrats 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.800 under Gavin Newsom are putting a map on the ballot 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:44.840 for voters this fall that could get them those five 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.880 seats back. So that would make sure only four Republican 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.080 seats forty eight for the Democrats. 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:54.880 So we're standing up. This is not about parties. It's 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:59.040 not about you know, redistricting lines. It's about holding the line. 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.680 It's about protecting all of us, regardless of political party. 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.000 It's about power at the end of the day. 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:09.880 Is it okay? So the math on that there are 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:17.479 fifty two congressional seats in California. If Gavin gets his way, 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.960 four of those will be Republican. So even though about 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:26.600 thirty eight percent of Californian's voted Republican last time around, 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.560 they would only have seven percent of the seats. So 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:35.040 nearly forty percent of the people who vote in California 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:39.000 vote Republican, but only seven percent of the representation in 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:44.280 the House. Well that sounds fair. Whatever. We welcome back 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.280 to the Armstrong and get his show. Our old friend 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.360 Gary Dietrie. How are you, Gary, Hey, Jack, good to 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:49.720 be with you. 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.040 And one thing we now for sure, this scientific study 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.640 has come out Joe Jack. There's been now more citations 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.920 of redistricting in the last three days than in all 0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:58.880 of human history. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.800 I think, no, getting not a hot topic, usually says here. 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:07.040 You are a CBS News political analyst. Now, congratulations, Well, thank. 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.120 You, my friend. Yeah, you know, I've been based in 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.480 the state capitol, California for some time. But you know, 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.120 as things continue to grow and all the rest of 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.000 the good stuff, you know, and I think they guess 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.760 that make sense to them. I'm now doing national TV 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.240 and radio for CBS as well. 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.000 That's awesome. Of course. The reason we have you on 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.560 today is to talk about the backlash against the cracker 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.760 barrel remodel has everybody very angry. 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.560 You know, I got to tell you that's so funny 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.320 you mentioned this, Jack, I was thinking over the weekend. 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.359 I have never in my lifetime seen a car brand 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.239 flip politically in six months, right, a bed, a beer 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.880 brand flip politically in thirty days, and a beloved pancake 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.280 house and I don't know, fried chicken whatever you know 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.200 do the same thing in about two hours. 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.560 It's undbelievable, it really is. That's a very good point. 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.280 We'll have to discuss that later. You got to really 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.680 watch your uh your pr currently is a big company. 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.239 But anyway, we're going to talk to you about redistricting, 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.760 among other things. First of all, what's the likelihood that 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.239 this passes? Have you seen any polling on this in California? 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.919 Yeah, in California. Here's the problem for Democrats that when 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.040 the polling was done a couple of weeks ago, just 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.440 on the concept would you like the Independent Citizens Commission 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.040 or do you want it to go the power to 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.799 go back to the legislature, Jack, This is quite remarkable 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.400 to me. Actually two thirds of voters said, now, don't 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.560 We don't want to go back to the legislature's control. 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.320 We wanted to stay in the hands and that, by 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:34.040 the way, wasn't just led by Republicans and a large 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:38.520 percentage almost twenty five percent independency in California, but a 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.280 vast majority, almost sixty percent of Democrats said that. So 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.960 that's a big headwind. Now when you start talking about 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.560 this measure in specifics, people are just beginning to get 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.400 pulled on it. But right now, the most recent numbers 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.360 I saw, Jack had about forty eight percent in support 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.760 of it. There's a general rule of thumb in California 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.280 about propositions. If you don't start your campaign, it's over 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.200 fifty percent of his support. You've got a big, big 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:03.880 road to hope. 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.680 Oh interesting, Well that that is uh, that's good to 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:11.120 know going forward with this. Not to READO. We just 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.200 had Congressman Tom McClintock on and he kind of went 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.440 through the history of jerry mandering, although he is the 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.600 correct pronunciation of Gary mandering. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:19.640 But yeah, I want you to know I had nothing 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.080 to do with that, though it's a different spelling Gary 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.000 than me his that's ge r r wise, So I 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.560 did not have anything to do with the start of 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:28.239 Gary mandarin. 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.880 I want you guys to know, gotcha. But so we 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.839 won't go through the history of that again. But like 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.920 people have been jerry mandering since the country started, there's 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.960 lots of blue states that are all jerry mandered the 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.120 heck as we all know. And now it's just But 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:45.680 isn't Gavin's main goal if this gets shot down? Doesn't 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.000 he want just to be the face of the resistance. 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.240 Isn't that his main goal? 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.360 Well? You know, you know, I never tried to get 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.839 inside a politician's head. But if you look at the 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.400 sort of factual evidence of that in the last twelve 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.280 to eighteen months, Jack, you know very well. I mean 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.719 he's been in red states all over the country, raised 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.479 ten million dollars in a pack to do that, took 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:10.560 up billboards in Florida and Texas, famously debated the governor 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.119 of Florida on the Sean Hannity Show of all things. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.280 I mean, he is you know, had their own podcast, 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.640 you know, the story with Bannon on it and Charlie Kirk. 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.760 I mean, he's been he's been auditioning for the White 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.920 House here officially unofficially for last year plus. 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:26.560 How do you like his chances? 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.680 Oh in twenty eight? Yeah, Well, well here's the deal. 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.240 We have some recent numbers on that this is really interesting. 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.279 In California, his own home state, he has now surged 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:41.080 a head of Kamala Harris as California Democrats twenty eight 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:42.760 choice hod. 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:46.200 But CALLI Kamala Harris. I can't believe anybody's even talking 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.600 about her. Still good lord, Well. 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:54.560 I'm just telling you the numbers, okay, And Califia, California Democrats, 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:59.200 California Democrats had her in the lead as their choice 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.839 and then just in the last thirty days Gavin surgery tohead. Now, nationally, 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.000 there hasn't been a lot of good national polling on 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.200 this in the last couple weeks. But what's interesting, Jack, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.360 is the movement on the so called odds. Okay, Now, 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.000 why are odds? Why would people care about that over polling? 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.919 Because odds take in and these are being watched by 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:21.120 the way, very carefully and reliably by many political sources 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.240 in the US these days. Why because polling is one measurement, 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.960 right if there's snapshot in time, it takes time to 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:28.479 get a poll out in the field and then you 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:32.800 get it back. Odds take into account other things. What 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.440 a recent news cycles there, et cetera, et cetera. What 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.280 is fundraising look like, and Gavin Newsom has moved into 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.360 the lead nationally in the odds for the twenty eight 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:43.800 race of the Democratic nomination. 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.440 Yeah, that's interesting, and that was his goal. He wants 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.160 to be as close to as a presumptive as he 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.880 can possibly get heading into the whole thing, obviously, And again, 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.040 the Democratic Party doesn't have a face, They don't have 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.640 a person that is like the go to resistance to 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.640 Trump and everything Trump and everything that's evil and Republican. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.679 And he wants to be that he and he's making 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.040 some pretty good progress on that. But so are you 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.400 still now you're working for CBS? How long we've been 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.080 doing this together? Gary? Twenty years, twenty five years? 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.400 Okay, let me let me remind you. I'll ask you 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.400 the question, Karris. Somebody asked me this was the weekend 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.280 about you guys? When did you start your local show? 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.280 And Sacrament of Us now ballooned into a galactic, you know, 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.440 superstar radio program. Well, when did you guys start? 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.760 Michael's usually on top of this. So our anniversary is 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.600 like in a week couple of days actually, and that 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.200 will be twenty eight years, twenty seven years, something like 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:38.960 twenty seven, twenty seven years. 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.640 Oh my gosh, Now you're making me feel really old. 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.680 You know why that are really old? And so am I. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.800 Oh geez, come on, man, I I started with you 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.880 guys the first year you were on air locally in 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.440 the state capitol of Calipa. 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.440 Lord, we've been talking to each other for almost three decades. 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:57.960 What are we doing the job? 0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:59.480 Okay, that's the end of that forgets. 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.320 Let's do something else with our lives. Okay. So anyway, 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.000 but since you're on right now for the last time, 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.720 so you've always been staunchly non partisan. That's always been 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:11.720 your thing, and I love that. That's one of the 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.880 reasons we always liked having you on. You're really into 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.640 just trying to relay the facts. I assume you're still 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.080 doing that for CBS. Absolutely. 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.520 That is a great question because people say, because remember, 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.560 this really blows people's minds. Prior to my contract with 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.920 CBS were started in what twenty eighteen or something, so 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.320 that was what seven years ago. I was with our 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.360 local Fox affiliate, Fox forty and Zacha Meto. So you know, 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.240 people say, did you flip loyalties? No, I've always been 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:39.960 the same, Gary Detrich, you know how it is, Jack 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.160 just like you said, I call them like I see him. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.200 I feel like that's very, very important role. That's why 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.360 they have me on. Nobody scripts me, nobody tells me 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.560 what bent to take. I guarantee you that. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.080 Well, so this is an opinion question. So I don't 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.040 know how you want to handle that. But I, Joe 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:59.360 and I take in a lot of national media and 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.160 podcast all that sort of stuff. Of course we do 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:05.760 for our line work. I feel like people pundits in 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.920 the rest of the country have a way higher opinion 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.880 of Gavin Newsom's talents than people who have known him 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.720 longer in California. Well, first of all, would you agree 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.079 with that about Well, I do think. 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:23.120 That that is how should we call it a bias 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.400 that happens with Jack? Literally almost every governor, right, almost 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.439 every governor this happened. You could and Republicans and Democrats. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.559 You can go down the list. You go way back 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:36.360 to Mike Ducaccus in Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Miracle. And 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:37.960 when I went to you know, I won't mention the 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:39.400 name of the school because you guys like to make 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:40.280 fun of my grad school. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.640 On the Gary went to Harvard. He went to Harvard? 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.080 Is the John F. Kennedy School of Government. We all know, 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.400 glad we mentioned that telling you this for thirty years. 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.000 Go ahead, Gary, Okay, I'm hoping people forget. The reason 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:52.599 I mentioned that is because when I was in that, 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.360 when I was in Massachusetts, people would say, what is 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:59.040 this fascination with our governor outside of our state? There's 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.000 this wrong, this wrong that happens all the time. 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.480 Yeah, I don't remember, you know, Rick Perry coming out 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.760 of Texas or whoever it is. They the local people 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.280 often say, I don't know if he's as good as 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:12.960 you think he is. But then sometimes you get a 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.240 Clinton or a Bush who perform, you know, at that 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:20.160 high level. But so, where do you think Gavin Newsom 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.920 is currently as a political athlete, Well. 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.600 I certainly think that. You know, you're onto the trend 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.520 line right now, which is the Democratic base has been 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.839 desperately seeking a true in their words, fighter, quote unquote. 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:35.920 They want somebody to take on, as they call him, 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.760 quote unquote, the bully in the White House, and Gavin 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.559 has stilled that role. Now, interestingly, there's been a huge transformation, 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.640 as you know, Jack, in the last eight months, because 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.680 when the President showed up on the tarmac of La 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:50.640 International Airport right after the fires down south. You know, 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.280 Gavin wanted to make nice and he needs forty billion dollars, 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.840 they say, to rebuild La et cetera, et cetera. But 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.040 things terms now are quickly, as you know, they've gone 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.560 from bad to worse. And I think Gavin is essentially 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.000 given up on trying to woot Trump in the White 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.040 House and now it's full on. I'm going to be 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:08.600 the face of the opposition. 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.800 I don't blame him, but man, these early projections Trump 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.319 has only been president for what nine months? In the 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:20.040 talk about twenty eight that is out there, Hillary Clinton 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.400 seemed like a lock for the nomination in two thousand 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.720 and eight. I remember when Rudy Giuliani seemed like who 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.880 could possibly beat him? You know, we've seen this so 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.559 many times. There's lots of names that I've never even 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.360 heard of. You've net, You've probably heard of them, but 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.320 that I've never even heard of that could emerge in 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:35.720 the next couple of years. 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.600 Correct, Oh yeah, I mean, look, a month is a 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.400 long time in politics. I mean, nobody's even talking about it. 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:45.160 Redissing special election on November fourth in California thirty days ago. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:46.120 Now it's a reality. 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:46.560 Good point. 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.880 So the point is, Jack, we have a long long 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.800 ways to go. But if you look at the national 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.679 odds maker Slats polling right now just for who's going 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.560 to win twenty eight, and this is so far out 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:01.440 as ridiculous, but JD. Vance is the lead, followed about 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.760 ten points behind, maybe more than that, twelve points by 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.840 now Gavin Newsom and then the list goes down from there, 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.320 so still Vance, and of course he's no lock for 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.680 his own nominations. Then we're a long ways away from 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:13.160 twenty eight. 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.640 Although Elon's saying he might throw one hundred to two 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.840 hundred million dollars behind in vance is certainly a big deal. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:21.640 Well, you know what, he's got those kind of checks. 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.560 He could decide he wants tomorrow to put in fifty 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.840 cents and the next week could might be five hundred million. Yeah, 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.000 but you know that proved, as you know, to be 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.679 significant last time around. I mean the battle for twenty 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:33.840 eight that it's going to make it really interesting, Jack, 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.840 is that it's wide open. There won't be an incumbent 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.800 on either side, and yes you have a sitting vice president, 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.199 but that's a real mixed bag of results for sitting 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:42.760 vice presidents over the years. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.960 Gary Dietrich's CBS News political analyst, let's do it for 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.439 thirty more years, Gary. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:49.959 Well, how about it we sell with thirty days. 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:50.360 And go from there. 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:51.839 All right, and talk to you soon. 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:52.959 Okay, buddy? 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.040 How the hell have we possibly been doing this for 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.720 thirty days? So the football season is back. We're done 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.280 with the preseason nonsense and ready to get going, are we? 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:06.360 Thank goodness?

Run your game, Okay, 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.520 I am going to tell the story about the old 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.120 man I wanted to push into the sea at my 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.600 sailing lesson next I even yelled at him. I yelled 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.600 at a guy, I yelled at an old man, and 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.040 even a small o. I yelled at a small old 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.480 man on my sailboat in my sailing lessons yesterday, and 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:13.880 he deserved it, among other things. O the way, stay tuned. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.600 So I take this beginner's sailing class at this little 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.600 local lake next to me, and it's two days, two 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.040 hours each day, and you get a certificate. That's not 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.480 a lot of sailing. I'll begin with the fact that 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.520 I'm terrible at it. I don't know if I have 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.760 the ability to ever get any good at it, or 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:31.840 if I'll ever even try it again. But it was fun, 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.520 but it's way way more complicated than I thought it was. 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:40.720 And there's five adults in the class. On the first day, 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.760 there's only five of us in the instructor. I'm the 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:47.000 youngest one there, and right away I had pegged this 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.320 one dude who appeared to be about eight thousand years 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.880 old as as a bit of a note at all. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.720 I live in a university town, and one thing I've 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.560 learned living in a university town is people who have 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.840 a really high education. I think this guy at a PhD. 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.880 People with PhDs think they know everything about everything. That 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.840 has just been my experience. Because you have a tremendous 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.600 amount of knowledge about a tiny subject that you got 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.960 your PhD in, you think you know everything about everything. 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.160 This guy apparently had sailed before or something. I don't know, 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.880 this one eight thousand year old man who was in 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.640 my class and beginner's class. But why are you in 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.080 the beginner's sailing class if you're okay? So when the 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.440 instructor was trying to teach us stuff before even got 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.040 on the boats, he's got the big chart up and 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.160 everything like that, and he's shown his parts of the boat. 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:34.760 The instructor would be showing you and you know, here's 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.560 and here's the halliard, and you do and the and 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:41.200 the the the old genius would have to shout out, 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:42.960 and that's what you're gonna want to watch the JYM 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.760 main line or throughout some terminal terminology, and the instructor 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.360 would say, yeah, we'll get to that in a second. 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.040 But he had just had to let the whole class 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.680 know that he knew some of the terms already. Okay, 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.080 so he's not on my boat. The first day we 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.160 just we have two boats. He's not on my boat. 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.360 I told some various people about this old man, know 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:02.840 it all, who's in my Classho was kind of an 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:04.920 annoying I was just trying to stay away from him. 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.200 Day two, only two of us return for the class. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.080 Only two of us, and it's me and the old 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.320 man are the only two. Course it is, of course 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.800 it is. And the instructor makes it clear that we're 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.920 going out on the boat alone, just me and the 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.080 old man. The instructor will be on a motor boat 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:26.560 kind of near us, shouting out instructions. And I thought, okay, 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.400 this is going to be a growth opportunity for me too. 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.440 I already got like kind of a beef against this 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.080 guy and uh a growth opportunity to just you know, 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.160 accept them for who he is or whatever. So we 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.440 get out on the water and he keeps telling me 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.680 what to do. He can't stop telling me what to 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.240 do with everything you need to a little further left 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.560 love for the pull that in. That's two loosens to type. 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:52.080 And the problem was the actual instructor, who has years 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:54.960 of experience of actual sailing, is telling me what to do. 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.880 But the old man doesn't know because his hearing's shot, 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.760 so he has no idea that the instructor is telling 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.120 me what to do. And at some point I was 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.320 getting so frustrated trying to hear the instructor tell me 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.840 what to do because I almost flipped the boat. Once 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:10.719 you make a mistaken you can end up. You can 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:12.879 end up in the water really easy. I'm trying to 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:14.639 listen to the extructor while the old man is in 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.440 my other ear telling me what to do. At one point, 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:21.200 I said, sir, I'm trying to listen to the instructor 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.240 right now. Why God him, why gout heroy thing you saying? 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.359 I mean, it was just exactly like that, And there 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.080 went Jack's growth exercise. 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:29.720 Oh, my god. 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.920 Yeah, and it got it only got worse from there. 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.199 I just I could not and I had to several 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:38.160 times a day. I'm trying to listen to the instructor, Sir. 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.040 I don't know what. I don't know why the serg 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:41.760 came out of my mouth like that. I'm not exactly 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.040 sure I'd have some form of respect. You were still 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.280 shocking was I was trying to have respect for an 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.399 eight thousand year old man telling me what to do. 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.120 I'm still with Michael. You should have just donkey kicked 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.399 him right off there. I could have so easily just 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.200 stood up hip checked him a tiny bit and he'd 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.879 have been in the sea. But I have more of 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:01.760 that story I have to get to later. Oh. I 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.120 was so annoying and so hot, and there's so much stress, 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.040 recessful enough if find have been with somebody I liked 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.360 alone with this guy. Oh my god, we got more 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.119 on the way. I hope you can stay with us 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.040 if you missed the sec week at the podcast Armstrong 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:16.400 and Getty on demand. 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:19.119 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.200 As you all know, Chicago's a killing fields right now, 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.960 and they don't acknowledge it, and they say, we. 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:27.439 Don't need them. 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:27.840 Freedom. 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.440 Freedom. He's a dictator. He's a dictator. A lot of 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.360 people are saying, maybe we like a dictator. I don't 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:36.760 like a dictator. I'm not a dictator. I'm a man 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:40.000 with great common sense and I'm a smart person. And 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:43.240 when I see what's happening to our cities and then 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.920 you send in troops, instead of being praised, they're saying, 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:48.680 you're trying to take over the republic. 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.680 These people are sick. The other thing, the old man 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.239 in the sea, the old man on my boat when 0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.439 we took our break from sailing, he's telling me all 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.600 the things he does like about Trump. It's one of 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.359 my favorite things as far as the personality goes. Just 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.480 lay into me with your political opinions. Anyway, that's Trump 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:10.480
