1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong and Jetty 3 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: and He Armstrong and Ketty who live from Studio C 4 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: see signor. We are in a dimly lit room deep 5 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getting Communications Compound 6 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: and all its glitz and glory, and today to kick 7 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: off a brand new week we are under the tutelage 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: of our general manager, Erica Macintarfer. Okay, I don't know 9 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: who that is. She is the former Bureau of Labor 10 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: Statistics commissioner. That he's the lady responsible for the scam 11 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: job numbers according to Trump who's lost his mind and 12 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: is a dictator or something. Right, So, I don't know. 13 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 1: See there a story four here. It's not always one 14 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: what y'all pay attention to over the weekend. But you 15 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: know and what you don't know? You know, we have 16 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: to guess on that. I don't know how you know 17 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: it's your summer weekend. I hung around with a couple 18 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: of normal people over the weekend that I smart, smart 19 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: successful people that I guarantee you are completely unaware of 20 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: this story. Normies huh, like normal people would be. But 21 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,559 Speaker 1: if you're a news jackey, it was like the number 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: one story over the weekend, So right, it's always difficult 23 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: to know. It's kind of funny when you do what 24 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: we do for a living to hang around like like 25 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: I said, normal successful like and these are people that 26 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: like aren't checked out from politics. They vote, have strong opinions. 27 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: I know, I can. I know enough of how they 28 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: vote from the way they talk, but they don't pay 29 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: attention to stuff like this or are unaware of it 30 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: most of the time. So just I don't know, I 31 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: don't know. I know they're bad Americans. I have a 32 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: good hour and a half on the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 33 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: how they do what they do, and how it went 34 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: so terribly wrong. Stay with them. There are two stories that, uh, 35 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: there's another side to that ought to at least be presented, 36 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: which we can do on the show today. Two of them. 37 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: One is that firing that Labor stats woman. Every news 38 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: outlet I watched over the weekend all had the same 39 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: version of the story about how Trump is a budding authoritarian, 40 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: and Larry Summers said this is something Nixon never even 41 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: dreamed of doing, which I thought, is a crazy thing 42 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: to say. But then Scott Bessent, Trump's whatever he is, 43 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: a financial economic guy, was on one of the shows 44 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: yesterday explaining why, and I thought, oh, okay, that makes sense. 45 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: It's another example of the way Trump said. It makes 46 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: it sound crazy, But then somebody else explains what's actually 47 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: going on and it didn't sound crazy at all. So 48 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: we can play that for you and see if you agree. 49 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: The other story that's just like that is what's going 50 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: on in Texas. So Texas, if they get their way, 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: they're adding five new districts that will be Republican, which 52 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: will add five people, five Republicans to the House, correct 53 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: which given the fact that it's basically tied now, would 54 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: be a huge deal. Well, there's an outcry over that, 55 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: and how once again it's the magaite, it's cherrymandering, it's racist. 56 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: But I came across some information actually last week and 57 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: never got to it during the week. Last week. California 58 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: did this a long time ago, and I got you 59 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: the information on how California shouldn't be as heavy on 60 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: Democrat House members as it is given. If you ever 61 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: see the maps, how many chunks of California are read, 62 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: so Texas is just doing what California did a long 63 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: time ago. Right. Well, not only that, but as the 64 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty legal analysts since I nearly went to 65 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: law school, the state of the law on redistricting, specifically 66 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: as it applies to race is hilariously dopey. I mean, 67 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: it's very difficult to leave that we got to a 68 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: place this dumb and difficult to understand. But that's one 69 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: of the reasons the SCOTUS has recently said, yeah, we're 70 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: going to take a serious look at this in October. 71 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: So there are a couple of different laws and or 72 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: rulings that are almost directly contradictory to each other about 73 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: to what extent you can consider race when you're drawing 74 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: congressional districts, and you know, if you want to get 75 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: even more thirty thousand footish, it just illustrates for the 76 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: millionth time how idiotic, ugly, and unproductive identity politics is 77 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: just terrible. Trump shouldn't be going around nobody any good 78 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: except those who scam and profit from it. Back to you. 79 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: Trump shouldn't be going around saying this woman manipulated the 80 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: numbers to help Democrats because there's zero evidence of that, 81 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: but there is evidence that that department, their formula doesn't 82 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: work in the modern economy and has been wrong for 83 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: quite a while, needs to be redone. And if he 84 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: had come out and made that argument the way Scott 85 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: Bessont does, we'd have a different Although this might have 86 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: been his goal. You know what I didn't hear once 87 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: yesterday on the Sunday talk shows. Huh he killed Epstein again? Oh? Well, 88 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: said sir, Yeah, that was the point. But this obliterated Epstein. 89 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: Epstein's finally over is a story, thank god, and I 90 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,119 Speaker 1: don't want to bring it back the whole. Trump finds 91 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: it completely impossible to explain himself, but then sends smart 92 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: people out that make it all makes sense. Phenomenon is 93 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: It's interesting, it is And I wish you could have 94 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: listened to our pre show meeting. Yes, we have a 95 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: pre show meeting and the show still ends up like this. 96 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: I wish you could have heard our pre show meeting 97 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: in which we got into the how important is the 98 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: death of Lonnie Anderson conversation? Thanks got a little heated, 99 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: which frankly, Joe thinks she's not worth discussing, and Hanson 100 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: and I think she's a much bigger cultural touchstone. Oh 101 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: it turned ugly. I almost didn't come in. I understand 102 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,799 Speaker 1: I was getting lots of text yesterday for people because 103 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: she was a giant cultural touchtone. And it wasn't just 104 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: because she was on that show, you know whatever, giant stupid, 105 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: meaningless cultural touchdown. Because she had a bright smile and 106 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: big blond air and big boobs bears. I'm never gonn. 107 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: She was like, that kind of woman has never been 108 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: attractive to me, even as a teenager. It's like, what 109 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: are you talking about? I don't I've never too much. 110 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: I've never had a thing for that kind of woman 111 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: at all, even when I was thirteen or whenever she was. 112 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: But she was just I don't understand how you can 113 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: talk about this at all, what with the Bureau of 114 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: Labor Statistics in turmoil. Lannie Anderston was like Britney Spears, 115 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: Paris Hilton, and I don't know another one of those 116 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: people rolled into one for like a decade as a 117 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: tabloid representative of a certain thing person sure, sex symbol. 118 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: She's also a fine comedic actress, honestly fine. There's lots 119 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: of those, so sure, and every time one of the 120 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: old ones dies. We don't, you know, stop the show. 121 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: But she was she and then she married Burt Reynolds, 122 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: and then that became a huge deal. I remember when 123 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: Larry King would cover the Burt Reynolds Lonnie Anderson divorce 124 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: every night for like two years back when ce it 125 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: then mattered. Wow, wow, See, this is the sort of 126 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: thing you have to do to finance seven divorces or 127 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: how many did let you have? I have to get 128 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: down there and the monk who knows, maybe he was 129 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: really interested in it. But can you imagine if we 130 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: had to come in and talk about celebrity divorce every day? 131 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: Lonnie Lennie Anderson had four or five herself. I think 132 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: quite a few. Yeah, so her love life wasn't as 133 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: placid as her character on WKRP was. Okay, let's start 134 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: the show officially. We'll get We've got a full hour 135 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: retrospect on Lonnie Anderson later, so we'll get to that. 136 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: Actually I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on this. It 137 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: is Monday, August, good god, it's August, the fourth of 138 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: year twenty twenty five. Where I'm strong. You're getting approve 139 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: of this program let's leave in action then co According 140 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: to FCC rules of Regulations, the show starts at Mark. 141 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: In response to the American Eagle, ad Abra, Crombie and 142 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: Fitch launched a new Genes commercial with plus sized women, 143 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: which raised concerns among viewers who panicked that someone had 144 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: eaten Sydney Sweeney. 145 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: What's a joke? Bill Maher went pretty big on his 146 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,119 Speaker 1: show Friday night on the If the woke left keeps 147 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: doing this, We're never going to win any elections. We 148 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: him saying we He's a Democrat, Yes, I hope they 149 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: keep doing it because I love it. If the Democrats 150 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: never won any more elections, But he's saying, We're never 151 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: gonna win any elections. She's a beautiful, regular person, and 152 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: we attack her and call people Nazis who find her attractive, 153 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: whereas if she was some sort of weird looking transceno 154 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: under plus sized that doesn't represent much of America we 155 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: would be standing up for and we can't. What are 156 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: we doing here? Which is an excellent point. We'll get 157 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: to that later. Also, well, the Republican Party can just 158 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: be on vacation right now because the Democrats are undoing 159 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: themselves running Communists for the mayor of some of our 160 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: major cities, including Minneapolis. We haven't talked about this nightmare 161 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: of a guy who just got the endorsement of the 162 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: Democratic Party in that state. Good lord, we got volcanoes 163 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: erupting that haven't erupted in six hundred years, So that's trouble. 164 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: Got to watch out for that. We'll pair that with 165 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: the Lonnie Anderson story. I do want to oh, Japanese walking. 166 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: Are you doing Japanese walking?

To me, this is 171 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,599 Speaker 1: your last chance plan. This is your take it or 172 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: leave it. Okay, we'll get to that later too. Meanwhile, 173 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: decide that all the college kids love is putting out 174 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: videos of emaciated Israelis digging their own graves and tunnels, 175 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: So just lovelys Harmas put that out. Yeah, what did 176 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: they think they were accomplishing by showing hey, by the way, Yeah, 177 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: we still have hostages and we're starving them to death 178 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: and basically torturing them. Uh what were they hoping to 179 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: gain with that? Trying to make the Israeli public desperate 180 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: to rescue them. There's only a lot of way to 181 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: watch images of sadness and pathos and just desperation to 182 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: save these poor souls. Giant protests in the street in 183 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: Israel saying bring the hostages back. We're trying I think 184 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: YEAHO would say, how would you suggest we do it? Well, 185 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: a lot of folks in the streets would say, we're 186 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: not going to defeat Hamas. We just got to call 187 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: off the whole war and see what happens. But get 188 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: the hostages back. That is our number one priority. That's 189 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: what they would say. They believe we'll sort the rest 190 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: out later. They believe that if you pulled out of Gaza, 191 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: Hamas would give the hostages back. I don't know exactly 192 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: believe they're desolate. I don't believe that. No, it's their 193 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: only leverage. No, I think they will, at every single 194 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: step of the process give back or do the bare minimum, 195 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: including not fulfilling the obligations they made yesterday. You know, 196 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: if if you strike a deal with them today, they 197 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: will give you two thirds of what they agreed tomorrow 198 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: and then say, hey, that's the best we can do. Sorry, 199 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: you want your other hostages back, come to heal Israel. Okay, 200 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: Well hit our headlines.

I know Republicans have done it 221 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: various places, and Democrats have done it.

Yeah, 228 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: there's probably some case in American history where they came 229 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: to a compromise that was a little better than they 230 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: would have gotten otherwise.

Yeah, I don't think that's it. Well, 238 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: we'll play the explanation from Scott Bessen. It's their formula 239 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: is out of date for the modern economy, and they've 240 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: had to revise their numbers by so much so many times. 241 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: For me, clearly doesn't work anymore. Like the number they 242 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: put out on Friday, they downgraded the months from one 243 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: hundred and forty four thousand to nineteen thousand. Scotts, that's 244 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: not what a good survey. No, Scott Messen said when 245 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: they send him the numbers, he's he looked at it 246 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: and thought, did you get a decimal wrong? He had 247 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: to call him up. I mean, is this right? So 248 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,239 Speaker 1: it's just out of date and needs to be revised, 249 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: and so you could Well, we'll talk about it morning. 250 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 3: From the New York Post, Trump praises Sydney Sweeney after 251 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 3: learning she's a registered Republican as woke mob torches her 252 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 3: American Eagle jeans ad. 253 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: Trump, of course, weighing into the blue jeans commercial, knowing 254 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: there's he reached more people with that, I guarantee you 255 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: than people arguing about the firing of the Bureau of 256 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: Labor Statistics person.

Six months into office, Trump, 298 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 4: suggesting his patients with President Vladimir Putin. 299 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: Has waned, yeah, and he said a couple of things 300 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: over the weekend that showed that I didn't realize. So 301 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: Friday's the supposed deadline for the tariff's hitting the timeline 302 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: that Trump gave Russia. Okay, India made some statements over 303 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: the weekend. Hey, we're gonna keep buying oil from Russia. 304 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: We can't be one of the biggest, the biggest country 305 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: population wise on Earth and have other countries tell us 306 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: who we can and can't buy our oil from. Was 307 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: basically their statement fair enough. So we'll see how that 308 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: turns out. I mean, there's gonna be a fair amount 309 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: of pain if Trump follows through with what he's going 310 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: to follow through on, you know, punishing tariff sanctions on 311 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: any country that does business with Russia. So we'll see 312 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: how all that plays out. But the story that happened 313 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: in the resultant shocks to our economy, which are certainly 314 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: still possible. Yeah, oh of course. Wow. And there's so 315 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: many different things around that yet to come the economy. 316 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: But so the announcement on Friday, right as we went 317 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: off the air, the headlines and I heard it again 318 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: this morning on NPR. Trump has sent two nuclear submarines 319 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: to near Russia. And you believe there's an implication in 320 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: that headline that oh, yeah, misleads people. Yeah, because everybody 321 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: always says two nuclear submarines like that, And I could 322 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: give you a dozen examples of it because I kept 323 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: seeing it time after time, and I just happened to 324 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: tweet as longtime listeners to the show. No, my brother 325 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: was a career naval officer in submarine service, and so 326 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: as a result, I know a little more than the 327 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: average schmuck about the submarines. And it's funny. Everybody says 328 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: they've sent nuclear submarines hinting. I think that they mean 329 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: submarines armed in nuclear weapons. But all of our submarines 330 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: are nuclear submarines, so they're powered by nuclear power plants 331 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: they run. It's kind of cool. They're electric submarines, but 332 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: we create the electricity with nuclear power. Well, do they 333 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: have nuclear weapons on them or not? The boomers do 334 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 1: you have not to get overly technical. You have attack subs, 335 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: which are the smaller, faster moving ones, which generally have 336 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: a complement of Tomahawk cruise missiles which can lay a 337 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: hell of an ass wooman on you if you're looking 338 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: for one. But then you've got the boomers which are 339 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,719 Speaker 1: the big nuclear weapon platforms that lurk deep under the 340 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: sea and they don't maneuver nearly as much, and they're 341 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: essentially mobile. They're part of the nuclear triad of mobile 342 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: in two cases, launch platforms for nuclear weapons. Well did 343 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: we send those? Not clear to me was the was 344 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: Trump announcing we're sending nuclear submarines meant to indicate that 345 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: we're sending those sorts of submarines. I don't know it's 346 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: possible that because I saw a subsequent report that say, 347 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: he just said two submarines. Okay, So I didn't know 348 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: all the submarines were powered by nuclear. I knew just 349 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: because of being on this show. I wouldn't have known otherwise. 350 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: But just because you've been saying this for years, I 351 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: knew that nuclear meant powered by nuclear as opposed to 352 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: has nuclear weapons on it. But I thought that our 353 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: nuclear submarines, the ones powered by nuclear, were the big daddies. 354 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: But you're saying they're not. They're all nuclear. Yeah, they 355 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: all run a nuclear Okay, Well that would be a 356 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: pretty big distinction. That's like sending we sent like saying 357 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: we sent a boat to the Middle East. Well, did 358 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: we send two guys rowing a canoe or did we 359 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: send an aircraft carrier? We sent a diesel destroyer to 360 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: patrol the shore. Oh diesel. Yeah, it's the same thing. Well, 361 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: I need to nail that down. And I would like 362 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: to know if the Pentagon or whoever made the announcement 363 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: meant to indicate we sent two of our subs that 364 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: are part of the nuclear program or not nuclear weapon program. Yeah, 365 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know, well, right, And it was funny. 366 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: I was reading one piece and I'm never sure how 367 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: to how seriously to take this stuff. But the fact 368 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: that whether it was putin with his dark hinting or 369 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: his online troll Medydyev, who was actually threatening the use 370 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: of nuclear weapons in a more specific way, there's a 371 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: real taboo against saying and we might nukyah, and that's 372 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: it's like strictly adhered to in the capitals of the world, 373 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: those who have it. But so maybe they hesitated to 374 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: say we are sending two nuclear weapon armed submarines to 375 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: right off the coast there. Vlads so enjoy it, particularly 376 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: with Wednesday being the eightieth anniversary of the first time 377 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: anybody had ever used a nuclear weapon and nobody's used 378 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: a weapon since eighty years ago on Friday Saturday on 379 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: that date, So that'll be talked about more in the future. 380 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: The other couple are more very charming Russia Ukraine stories. 381 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: Russia is now indiscriminately continuing to bomb apartment complexes in 382 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: the Key of the capital and just killing people and 383 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: children as they go of out their lives, just to 384 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: surely to terrorize the population. But they're also selling off 385 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: the homes of all the folks in the places they 386 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: occupy to Russian people and having them move in, and 387 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 1: so they are literally ethnic cleansing and colonizing Ukraine, right, 388 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: they're ethnic cleansing. They are way closer to trying to 389 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: commit a genocide than israel Is. But it's all white people, 390 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: so the college kids can't get excited about it. Yes, 391 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: they're that's stupid. So I always mention this Telegraph podcast 392 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: that I check in on every day. It's the best 393 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: news on the whole Ukraine War you can find anywhere. 394 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: They mentioned the over the weekend. The disgusting attack on 395 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: Key was the deadliest of the year so far in 396 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: terms of people killed from Russian's drone strikes. And also 397 00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: they think it's tragically, criminally undercovered the number of children 398 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: that Russia has taken Ukrainian children that they've snatched up 399 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: and just taken across the border and having military schools 400 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: or schools to just retrain their minds onto who the 401 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: re education re education caps, but a whole bunch of 402 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: them they're putting into military schools and re educating them 403 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: and then are going to have them in the military 404 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: fighting on the Russian side. I mean, that's horrific. Tens 405 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: of thousands of kids. It is tragically undercovered. Okay, different 406 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: hotspot briefly, because this was the big story in the 407 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: New York Times yesterday. We and Israel are making one 408 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: giant all or nothing plea for peace that Trump and 409 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: net and Yahoo anyway are claiming. This is it take 410 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: it or leave it. I think it's interesting because it's 411 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: so basic and it's what we It's what lots of 412 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: us have been saying since October seventh. The all or 413 00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: nothing proposal is give back all the hostages and lay 414 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: down your arms, or we'll continue doing what we're doing. 415 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: I kind of felt like that was the under unspoken 416 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: case this entire time, right, Is that a new all 417 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: or nothing peace proposal. I don't know. It doesn't sound 418 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: like to me. I kind of thought that was what 419 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: the deal was the entire time. I wonder if there 420 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: are particulars behind the scenes we don't get to hear. 421 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: I don't The Times didn't have any. It was the 422 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: same reaction that you have. It was like one sentence long, 423 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: give back all the hostages and lay down your arms 424 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: or else we continue to when we're doing okay, wow, 425 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: Well we'll see how that plays out too. So there 426 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: are those two hotspots, which you know obviously have been 427 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: going on for quite some time, are really coming to 428 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: a what's gonna happen now point? I have no idea, no, no, 429 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: nor do I. That's very exciting. Okay, do you want 430 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: to hear about Japanese walking before we take a break? 431 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: All right? You don't sound exciting about it. If you're 432 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: not excited about it, all I don't know. I'll just 433 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: tell my friends at the coffee shop. Anybody who's been 434 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: to any tourist spot on the West Coast has seen 435 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: plenty of Japanese people walking, and they seem to walk 436 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: away very similar to the way I do. But go on, Katie, 437 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: is Katie busy? Or because Katie is our fitness go 438 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: to Katie's always at the gym and working out. Are 439 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: you familiar with the hot trend of Japanese walking? I 440 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: am not okay. Japanese walking is the fitness trend worth trying. 441 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 1: According to The New York Times, it's a very simple workout. 442 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: The health benefits are backed by decades of research. I'll 443 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: give you a quick headline, punchline. It's the latest in 444 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: many studies over the last couple of years about how, 445 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: for some reason, going really hard than going soft, going 446 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: really hard than going soft, with all kinds of exercising 447 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: has tremendous benefits. There's been a bunch of those studies 448 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: come out over the last couple of years. It seems 449 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: that that's just the way we're built, which kind of 450 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: makes sense because you can imagine through evolution that's what 451 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: we are doing all the time. Holy crap, the other 452 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: tribes after us, you'd run really hard and then you'd stop. 453 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: Oh there's a buffalow, let's go get it on. Hungry, 454 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: run really fast and stop. Anthropologist Jack Armstrong. This is 455 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: the way we're built. So all of those kind of 456 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: exercises have just incredible benefits for some reason, and that's 457 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: what Japanese walking is. That's the way the Japanese have 458 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: been exercising for a very very long time. And basically 459 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: what you do is you walk really hard for three minutes, 460 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: walk so fast that you can barely carry a conversation. 461 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: Then you slow down to a genterle stroll for three minutes. 462 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: Then you walk as fast as you can for three minutes, 463 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: then you and you do that for twenty to thirty minutes, 464 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: so you go through several cycles, and there are so 465 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: many more benefits from that than a continuous stroll or 466 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 1: a continuous hard walk. You're much better off doing this, 467 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: according to a fairly large research. Excellent, excellent walk. I 468 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: keep doing what I'm doing. Then on the elliptical, but 469 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: you know, as weather permits outside love it? Do you 470 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: go really hard then soft on your liptical? Oh y yeah? 471 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: Ups and downs? Yeah? And what's the uh? Two on 472 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: one off or three on one off? Do you call 473 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: that Scandinavian ellipical or do you have a name for it? 474 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: I die? You have not named it? To my discredit. Yeah, 475 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: that's why I have so few Instagram followers. I'm just 476 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: not good at branding. Uh huh, Okay, I might start 477 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: throwing the Japanese walking. I'll be just strolling along. People 478 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: be altering, and all of a sudden, I'm walking early 479 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: early fest my arm swinging and might stroll along. I 480 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: look like a crazy person. What are you gonna do? Okay, 481 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: So we got mail bag on the way and we'll 482 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: catch you up on uh the firing. This is like 483 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: the most boring tease I think we've ever done in 484 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: thirty years. Oh, you find dictators boring? You find totalitarianism boring? 485 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: Do you sorry? We'll try to jazz it up for you. 486 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: As Trump becomes the new you know who, we'll get 487 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: into the firing of the head of the Bureau of 488 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: Labor and Statistics. I mean, that's just not a good 489 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: that's of sexy tease. Well, she'd gotten to the she'd 490 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: reached the summit, the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Well, 491 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: little kid in America doesn't grow up dreaming of those glories. 492 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: I met a kid the other day, great kid motivated. 493 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: He's off to college, his first year in college, and 494 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: as a friend of my son's, and I asked him 495 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: what he's going to do? And he said, I'm going 496 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: to be an actuary. He's studying to be an actuary, 497 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: and I thought that is so interesting. There are people that, 498 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: as teenagers decide that's what they want to do. Did 499 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: a great job? Pay? Really well? It's every year, every 500 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: year it's on that list of the less least stressful 501 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: job in America. Every year it's the least stressful job 502 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: in America. There's openings already, but I just who knew. 503 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: So it's like this lady she said, it was a 504 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: dream of my life to be the head of the 505 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: Bureau of Labor. Really, there are people who lay in 506 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: bed at night dreaming someday they'll be the head of 507 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: the Bureau of Labor Statistics. I hope you're young friend 508 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: has heard of AI and has looked into it. Yeah, 509 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about what AI will do with that. 510 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: It seems like it would do a lot, but I 511 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: have no idea. We got mailbag on the way, stay here. 512 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: So three more hours left in the Armstrong Ingetty Show. 513 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: With Lonnie Anderson's death, We've got next hour will be 514 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: the WKRP years, then the post WKRP years, and then 515 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: the final area.

Yeah, yeah, 527 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: need to do more of that, mailbag. Feel free to 528 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: write rough us a note mail bag at Armstrong and 529 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: getdi dot com Scott in beautiful Hillsburg, California. Guys. Last week, 530 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: the topic of bots talking to bots on the Internet 531 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: came up a few times. Yeah. There's a theory called 532 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: the dead Internet theory that suggests the vast majority of 533 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: content on the Internet today is created by computers, and 534 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: the majority of interactions are computer to computer. The Internet 535 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: is considerably bigger than most people understand. Most of what 536 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: happens there happens quietly in the dark, so to speak, 537 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: the behind the scenes minute of daily life and the 538 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: Internet age AI like Chack, GBD and Grocker learning from 539 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: computers more than they're learning from people. It's painting a 540 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: massive feedback loop with as yet unknown consequences. Unplugged the 541 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: Internet before or it's too late. Excellent point. We didn't 542 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: get into all the statistics last week. From that, I 543 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: think Fortune magazine article that over half of the activity 544 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: on the Internet is bots. And then if you have 545 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: bots talking to bots, and then language learning models of 546 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: AI learning from that, there are no humans involved. Yeah, yeah, 547 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: heavy note from Alvin, but it's an interesting point. I've 548 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 1: been thinking that most government bureaucratic programs are rarely and 549 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: eliminated even though they're completely unsuccessful, largely wasteful and corrupt. 550 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: But I think there is one program supported by the 551 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: government which has been very successful, Planned parenthood. It's been 552 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: responsible for millions of US abortions and has particularly affected 553 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: African American families, and now the US has dropped below 554 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: the crucial reproduction or replacement weight rate of births per women. 555 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: It's a devastating outcome, but that was the ultimate goal. 556 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: I think there are probably many people who are pleased 557 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: by this. I say, good ridden staving taxpayers pay for 558 00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: this awful program. Interesting. Yeah, because even quoted Ruth Bader 559 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: Ginsburg last week from you know a number of years ago, 560 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: when she said she was surprised by a Supreme Court 561 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: ruling because she thought everybody agreed the population is too big, 562 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: particularly among certain folks, that we don't need too many of. 563 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: I don't, wow, I don't know how much abortion plays 564 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: into the declining number of kids we have. We've stopped 565 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: dating and reproducing, we're not trying, so both things are happening. Yeah. Indeed, Yeah, 566 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: it's complicated. Let's see Powell with a good point. Guys, 567 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,479 Speaker 1: Texas is attempting partisan congressional redistrict and call it jerryman 568 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: jerrymandering if you like. The left, with Gaviy Newsome endeavoring 569 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: to take the lead, is trying to fight fire with fire. 570 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: Newsom wants to jerrymander California. He sends the headline along 571 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: he has enthusiic, enthusiastic support Democratic governor's advises strong counter offensive, 572 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: but he points out what's funny is that the left's 573 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: rallying cry is that we're losing our democracy. This is oligarchy, 574 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: this is dictatorship what Texas is doing. So let's do it. 575 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: I've said a million times. They pretend to have principles, 576 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: They put them on and take them off like they're 577 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, a windbreaker on a spring day. Let's see. 578 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: Oh this is heavy, guys. I wonder when and if 579 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: the media will display the photo of the emaciated hostages 580 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: side by side with the hungry kids in Gaza. Where 581 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: is the outcry regarding them? That's pretty good, that's good question. 582 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: Jonah Goldberg asked a good question on their podcast the 583 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: other day. What is that? What the emaciated kids and 584 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: then their parents look normal? Are the parents eating the 585 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:51,719 Speaker 1: food or right? That's kind of an interesting situation. Well, 586 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: in a couple of notable cases, they are pictures of 587 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: children with terrible illnesses, and yeah they and and Fai 588 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: MISSILEI The New York Times and others cropped mom out 589 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: of the frame and cropped brother out of the frame, 590 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: both of whom look just fine, thin ish by American centers, 591 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: but fine because it lacks the dramatic impact. It's disgusting. God, 592 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: i'd say, don't quite have time to squeeze this in. 593 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: We will. But Oregon legislature reading Aloud a book that 594 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: was introduced into the school library and is now in 595 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: trouble for reading that book in front of the legislature 596 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: because it graphically describes sex between two teen characters, so 597 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: you couldn't read it in front of other adults. But 598 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: it was in a kid's library. No, in a discussion 599 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: in the legislature as to whether it ought to be 600 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: in the library.
