WEBVTT - We're Doomed...But Don't Worry About It! 0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:06.320 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:10.360 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and show Getty. 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:18.280 Armstrong and Gatty and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:25.919 Remember, as part of this deal there is this economic 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:28.200 leverage on the Iranian regime. They're not going to get 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:31.360 the sanctions relief that they so desperately want and need 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.640 if the United States doesn't get everything they want out 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:36.280 of these detailed negotiations. 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:41.400 So that's tree Yinks of Fox, who's got a completely 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:45.479 different take on what the deal that was struck with 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:49.520 Iran is than CNN and MSNBC have. And I don't 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.680 understand how any of them have the details since the 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.440 details aren't out. But is talking about this earlier. I 0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:00.400 don't have a take on this Trump announcer's deal. The 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.279 war is over, we have a deal, but. 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:03.720 The details haven't been released. 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.520 So I don't have an opinion whether it's a good 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.160 deal or not because I don't know what the details are. 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.959 But as I was bouncing around the cable channels yesterday 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:16.480 running errands endless commentary on CNN, m of MSNBC and CNN, 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.440 the lefty channels of how awful this deal is how 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.280 Trump got taken for a ride. Iran comes out of 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.520 this better than they started, et cetera, et cetera. 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.760 Fox was the opposite. We got what we wanted. 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.840 Iran really, you know, forced into a situation they didn't want, 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.080 et cetera. And I don't know how anybody is coming 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.200 to any of these conclusions based on the fact that 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:38.520 the details are still out. 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:39.000 Now. 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.280 That's Trey saying that Iran won't get what they want 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.759 until what we get what we want. I hope that's true, 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.640 but that's not out yet. As far as I knows. 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.080 He's got some sources nobody knows about anyway. So let's 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.040 let Tray lay it out here and then we can 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:55.840 talk about it. 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.720 When we look at this agreement, the Iridians didn't get 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.480 what they wanted. They wanted you US forces to leave 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.680 the Middle East completely and abandon all bases in the region, 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.040 and that's not going to happen. As part of this deal. 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.639 We know that US forces are going to remain at 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.040 the fifth Fleet location in Bahrain for the US Navy, 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.280 also the alluded base outside of the Katari capital of Doha. 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.080 There are thousands of US forces there, and so even 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.239 if there is an eventual drawdown of the US military 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.360 in the Middle East, there will still be thousands of 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:29.320 forces here prepared if the President has to use military 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:30.359 action in the future. 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:32.119 Yeah. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.120 See, the problem with that is the guy who makes 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.000 that decision is not willing to do it, I don't think, 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.960 and gets less willing every day that goes by. So 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.480 while that's true that Iran wanted US to pull all 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:52.320 our forces out, they can probably live with the forces 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.359 being there because Trump's not willing to do it. 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:56.720 Correct, what if I'm wrong? 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.480 Since this is not a deal and it's not a 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:08.119 peace agreement, it's a framework for negotiating on agreement over 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.280 the next sixty days. So in what way is this 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:18.760 not just another ceasefire but with a unalleged framework to negotiate, 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.120 which is fine. If it works, it'll be great. 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.320 So I was taking all this in in real time 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.280 yesterday because I was running around doing stuff and listening 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.880 to your news channels, and they announced Trump has just 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:33.840 posted the truth. Social gentlemen, start your motors. The strait 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.600 is open for shipping once again. And so that was 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.920 the conversation on all the cable news channels for twenty minutes. 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.440 The Strait is now open, so it's just a matter 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.280 of minutes or hours. Now, nobody exactly knows how this works, 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.280 but the strait is open, and the ships well, the 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:49.120 way we'll start flowing. 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:50.960 Blah blah blah. Twenty minutes later. 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.400 He puts out a different truth social post saying the 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.920 Strait will be open this Friday. So as soon as 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.160 we signed the deal, this Straight is open, not even 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.480 referencing the fact that he had twenty minutes earlier. 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:02.760 The Strait is now open. 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.280 And one more twist, Trump had said the deal meant 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.040 the Straight would be permanently toll free. That's a quote, 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:14.360 but Iran's Foreign Ministry immediately suggested today that Iran could 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:18.039 charge fees in exchange for the services that are provided 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.320 that shifts transmitting the Strait. 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.839 That gets to Lindsey Graham's complaint. Senator Lindsay Grahm that 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.520 I'm troubled by the fact that Iran is. 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:34.000 Saying different things than we're saying. Yes, let me RecA 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:35.480 the whole of fees. 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.880 It's navigation fees and we're not charging a toll, but 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:40.840 we're going to help you not to hit a mind. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.599 So you got to pay us up and be a 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.000 shame of something happened to that nice tanker of yours. 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:46.800 It's tolls. 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.000 Well, if they get to do that or start doing 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.159 that and nobody stops them, then that's a huge loss 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:57.480 because you know, that argument really holds water. The strait 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.720 was opened before the war started, so opening it is 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.200 not exactly a win. 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:04.480 No. 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.760 And then if it's not open in the same way 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.040 and they're charging tolls, that's it's definitely a step backwards. 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:10.560 Anyway. 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.960 This is what Mark Alpern wrote in his newsletter today 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.719 with all his sources. That leads to the central question 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.599 hanging over everything. The administration says economical relief will come 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:24.560 only after Iran destroys a timely enriched uranium, renounces any 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.840 pursuit of nuclear weapons, and submits to meaningful verification. 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.080 We get all that stuff. I think it's a clear win. 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.520 If that sequence holds, Trump will be able to argue 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.240 that he extracted major concessions before offering major rewards. But 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.719 if money starts flowing earlier through sanctions, relief, access to 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.960 frozen assets, or even direct payments, the politics and the 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:47.960 substance of the agreement look very different. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.279 The cliche is true. Here the devil is. 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.720 Always in the details, and at this moment, the most 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.120 important detail is also the simplest one. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.240 Who gives up what first? 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.120 Nobody knows, So I don't know how anybody is commenting 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:04.919 on whether this is a good deal or not. 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.159 Who gets what first? That is the question. It's not 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.960 a minor point either. Yes, if it's the answer is 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.200 the right one, then you start to think, yeah, right, 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.880 we might be able to strong arm them and agree 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.640 in what we need to have them agree to. But 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.440 if it's not, then this whole thing is ridiculous. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.159 Jd Vance on Iran. This is today. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.400 We're hearing from both the reigning hardliners and political leaders 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.880 that the past forty seven years of hostility with the 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.520 United States have been a mistake and it's time to 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:38.400 turn a new page. 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.280 Does Joe Getti believe that? I don't. 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.839 I do not believe that. I don't even believe they're 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.320 saying it. And if they say it, it. 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.040 Doesn't necessarily mean they mean it. 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.000 I don't even believe that. I don't even believe that 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:59.240 the Republican guard is saying this. The I think the 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.240 game that the Trump crowd has been playing all along 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.039 through this as they listened. Because there's lots of different 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.719 voices coming out of Iran. They listened to the voices 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.280 that they that they want to listen to, and ignore 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.600 the ones they don't want to listen to, regardless of 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.800 who actually holds the power at any point. 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.559 I wonder, I wonder from the Saturday Wall Street Journal, 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:22.720 the Iranian enforcer driving Tehran's hard bargaining with the US. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.440 The pugilistic new paramilitary commander is seen as a power broker, 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.320 asserting control over negotiations even as the two sides appear 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:36.680 near a deal. This guy, Ahmad Vahidi had overruled the moderates, 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:38.840 who said, hey, let's call off the dogs, let's not 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.880 fire missiles at Israel, all right, And he's like, the hell, 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.920 we're not more moderate voices one to hold off, But 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.320 Vhiti won the argument, persuading Around's top security council to 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.000 back the strikes and setting off the first exchange of 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.160 fire between Iran and Israel since ceasefire on April eighth. 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.880 And that was just a couple of days ago. And 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.680 he seems to be the alpha dog this point. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.559 So do you think this Bahiti dude? 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.600 Said the Port passed forty seven years of hostility with 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:07.480 the United States had been a mistake. 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:13.200 On absolutely not no, no, well, I think what he 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.160 his opinion seems to matter to me. 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.960 He has been sanctioned by the US for helping oversee 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.120 a crackdown on protests over women's rights in twenty twenty two. 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.320 So he headed up the beating, jailing, and raping of 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.360 the women who dared show their hair. He's wanted by 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.400 inter poll for a deadly attack on Jews in Argentina, 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:37.959 which was when was that two? The year two thousand 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.800 and seven, I'm sorry, that's when he was issued to 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:42.480 the arrest warrant. 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.280 Back in nineteen ninety four. 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.080 He headed up the bombing of a Jewish community center 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.680 in Buenos Aires that killed eighty five and injured hundreds more. 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.840 Heads up the Republican This guy is is hard. He 0:08:55.040 --> 0:09:00.920 is a brute and a monster as No, No, I 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:02.120 don't believe that for a second. 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.000 I don't know I wanted to say that. 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:08.640 So why did jd Vance say that? I think you 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.520 explained God, I can't even say. It's hard to get 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.200 these words to come out of my mouth. I think 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.920 you nailed it. They believe who they want to believe 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:17.760 and what they want to believe. 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.880 And hope that those people emerge as the leaders. And 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.679 Trump is trusting his gut or what. I don't know. 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:30.240 I really don't. For now, there is only one next step. 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:34.600 Mark Alpern writes Friday's signing ceremony could prove historic, or 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.040 it could prove merely ceremonial, or. 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:38.240 It might not happen at all. 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.719 I would bet money it doesn't happen. I'll challenge you 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:44.800 to a ten dollars bet. You didn't take me up 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:46.920 on that. You put more money where your mouth is. 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.319 Ten dollars right, son, ten dollars cash on the barrelid 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:57.320 Alex Hamilton, green money us Hamilton, give me pasos or anything? 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.080 Is he? I think he is. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.840 Kids and I were talking about the other day with 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.280 inflation and everything like that, why isn't the fifty becoming 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.920 a bigger thing? Why isn't the fifty like is prevalent 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.280 his twenties since it's what a twenty dollar bill was 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:13.120 in the nineties. 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.240 All I wont know why that is? Nobody uses cash 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:17.959 at all or not much? I don't know. 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.559 And I was explaining to now my kids, how you 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.720 just never saw a hundred dollars bill when I was 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:22.080 a kid. 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:23.280 Oh, we were watching I know what it was. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.160 We were watching a movie and I am No Country 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:30.080 for old Men, which was set in nineteen eighty. And 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.560 they're regularly given a hundred dollar bills to various people 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.360 to make get them to do things like here, keep 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:35.960 your mouth shut. Here's one hundred dollars. 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.280 And I was explaining to my kid's house that was 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:39.079 a lot of money. 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.080 I didn't actually go to the inflation calculator, but I 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:45.280 might have been like a thousand dollars in nineteen eighty. 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.080 It has been a lot compared to now. You see 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.440 hundred bill dollar bills now, well, you see signs at 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.920 convenience stores won't take a hundred dollar bills. There was 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.120 no chance anybody was going to the convenience store. What 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.880 one hundred dollar bill when I was a kid. But 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:58.960 I just wonder why fifties haven't become a thing and 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:00.520 ones are practically worthless. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.199 They're going to become the penny. 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.680 Soon, gallon of milk, loaf of bread, and I don't 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.480 know what else there a pair of work gloves. You 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:11.240 spend one hundred dollars these days thanks Biden easily. Yeah, yeah, 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.120 I will have to wait and see. So I've got 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.280 I want to make this clear. I am betting ten 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:19.160 dollars that they will have the signing ceremony on Friday, 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.880 not because I believe it, but because it's more fun 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:28.240 if we take opposite sides. I've got to admit, I 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:34.000 especially hearing about this Vahiti bloke, but I'm not optimistic 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:34.800 about this at all. 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.120 The thing that's going to blow it up I think 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:41.800 most likely is Hesibal and a rant and Israel getting 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:42.400 into it again. 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.120 Right Trump should I'm glad you brought that up, and 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.320 wish you hadn't in a way. Trump has got to 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.480 make that a separate issue. No, that has nothing to 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.160 do with what we're talking about. Totally different Isrel's problem. 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.559 But he was tough on net Yahoo over the weekend. 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.120 Not Yah, who is really good to deal tough to 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.000 deal with. I can't remember precisely what he said, but 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.240 implying that Netanya, who's really standing in the way of 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.160 me getting this master deal with Iran? 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:22.120 He said, Netanya who has no effing judgment. Wow. Yeah, 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:23.240 I would not buy stock. 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:27.000 I would not wade into this IPO the peace with 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:28.160 Iran IPO. 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:32.840 I wonder if that Yahu has said to Trump or 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.280 or any of the other presidents that he's ignored. Look, 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:41.559 everything you talk about is theoretical. We actually have rockets 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:46.160 raining down on our capital city. It's not theoretical for 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:46.720 us at all. 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.040 We're surrounded by people who want to slaughter us today 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.920 by noon if they can do it. So helping you 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.240 get your deal with Iran that's probably not worth the 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.760 paper it's working on written on now. 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.800 We're not going to go too far. Boy. 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.280 I saw a good thing on Twitter last night. Somebody 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.959 had put together about all the various land squabbles around 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.880 the world, whether it's China to bet or Turkey and 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.000 Cyprus all the and that college kids don't get worked 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:20.120 up about at oil yep? Is it because it's the Jews? 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:21.840 I mean, how else do you explain it? 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:26.719 No Jews, no news interestings. Try more in the way 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:27.199 stay here. 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.600 A seven year old in Pennsylvania recently said a Guinness 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.280 World record after putting on. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.760 Fifty sweaters because his dad made it very clear what 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:45.120 would happen if he touched the thermostaff. 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:53.840 What wow, white house versus anthropic We should get into 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.400 that at some point. We haven't talked AI at all today. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:58.160 We will a little bit later. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.559 Your viral video of the day, which I haven't seen 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:05.079 all of and don't really want to. We're talking about 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.760 how furners are coming to America for the World Cup 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.640 and loving it and having a wonderful time because in 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.360 spite of some of the bad stuff that goes on 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:17.240 in this country, it's mostly an amazing, beautiful, enormous place 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:18.720 and they're enjoying it. 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.520 Wealthy. Yeah, oh my god. 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.600 Yeah, if you are enjoying the pleasures of Brazil, perhaps 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:29.720 you should refrain from bungee jumping until you watch a 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.800 couple other folks go first. The video that was you 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.200 kicking around last night and on the news. You'll probably 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.280 see it whether you want it or not. Here's some 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.960 twenty one year old gal visiting the sow Polo area 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.200 and she jokingly wrote some on Instagram who was the 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.400 crazy person who let me jump off a bridge? Well, 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.840 the video is of the three guys with her up 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:57.000 above their head saying one, two, three, and you can't 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.120 help but notice there's no effing rope tied to her. 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.040 They just heaved her to her death. The rope is 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.840 coiled on the ground. The bungee, which is really one 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:13.600 of the fundamental parts of bungee jumping, lay. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:14.800 There on the well. 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.560 Yeah, I mean you can. Hey, no helmet, that's fine, 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.800 let's leave the helmet off. But by God, attached that bungee. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.520 Wouldn't you I mean, it's not on her, it's on them. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:28.280 But wouldn't you notice if they didn't attach the bungee 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:28.520 to you? 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:33.240 The wedding filming could then be heard shouting, guys the rope, 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.520 pointing to the crucial safety device laying on the ground. 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.720 I think I would be really aware of the connection 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.640 mechanism of the bungee to whatever harness I'm wearing or whatever. 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:49.160 And yeah, and here are the standards of Brazilian bungee jumping. 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.920 Six people have been interested following the incident, including three 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.880 people at the scene of the jump too. The suspects 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.120 tried to flee, but were ultimately tracked down by a 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.600 helicopter in the wooded area, according to military police. 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.440 So, I've never seen a bungee jumping where they pick 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.400 you up and throw you. So they throw her off 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:10.240 the bridge, Uh yeah, essentially, Yeah, like in a diving posture. 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.960 Uh huh yeah. 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:18.680 Yeah, America's overregulated, over you know, we desperately need tort reform, 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:23.000 et cetera. There's a sweet spot somewhere between our thing 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:23.760 and their thing. 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:24.680 Something between. 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.840 Kids can't play outside if it rained the day before 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:31.760 because they might slip on the grass and tossing people. 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.280 Off bridges without touching the bungee cord. 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.800 Bo I'm glad I got into the bungee jumping in industry. 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:42.520 Wait a minute, say that again. The bungee jumping industry 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:48.280 slaps forehead the bungee right, damn it? 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.600 How bad do those guys feel? 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:56.000 Her fiance was watching it all transpire to holy crap. 0:16:56.640 --> 0:17:01.680 Yeah, didn't he notice him not attack Rope? I don't 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.240 know where he was. He might have been, I don't 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:07.800 know where he was. Ask him, Oh my god. Yeah, 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:11.320 that's a bad day. Anyway, more to come, totally different topic. 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.800 Trust me, that's enough. 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.159 Of that, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.720 Sixty three people arrested, four stabbings, one shooting, and a 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:25.880 bus burnt to a crisp in New York City after 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.040 the Knicks won the NBA Finals on Saturday night. 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:30.920 So that's that's just reasonable. 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.119 You get to destroy people and stab people and do 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.800 all kinds of crazy stuff. If your team wins a championship. 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.919 For whatever reason, we decided as a culture that that 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:39.520 was okay. 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:40.800 I don't get it. 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:45.679 If you punished people strong enough, people would catch on 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:46.520 that you can't do that. 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.679 But so you reject my argument, and I'm not in 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:54.720 favor of it. I'm just saying the law enforcement presence 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:59.200 and action big enough to deal with that many people 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.480 going nuts be like a war, and cities just think 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:03.840 will absorb the loss. 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.679 At this point, since you've allowed it to grow and 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:11.240 grow year after year for decades. If you started from 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:16.880 if you started from scratch, would anybody think our team won, 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.399 So you get to burn down this building or this 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:21.040 boss or whatever the hell? 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.440 No, nobody would have anyway. 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.000 By the way, I wanted to hit NBA fans with this. 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:33.600 If you're thinking the key to fixing your bad team 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.879 is get the number one pick. Jalen Brunson, who's one 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.560 of the most impressive players I've seen in decades. The 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.480 star of the New York Knicks, was the thirty third 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:44.879 pick in the second round of the NBA Draft. 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.560 Wow, and he is a stud. He is really he 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:49.440 is quite the leader. 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:50.800 Wow. 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:52.080 Wow, that's amazing. 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:54.679 I want to get back into the whole question of 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.480 people who are acting like Elon Musk being on paper 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.560 a trillionaire is somehow take away from them or a 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.680 bad thing. I mean, the left the politicians are going 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:05.679 crazy over that. 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:07.760 Maybe a little bit later on. 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.840 Oh and speaking of Elon and the big IPO and SpaceX, 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.240 we've got a business expert who are going to talk 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.320 to help explain, you know, what happened, how it went, 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.560 what it means, and that sort of thing. 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:20.560 Next hour. 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:26.359 Speaking of the corporate world, it's interesting the never ending 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:30.480 discussion of remote work and where it's going in the 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.520 wake of COVID is continuing. There have been a number 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:41.400 of big splashy company announcements that they were requiring employee 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:47.040 excuse me, to spend more time in the office, home depot, Target, 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:52.840 Microsoft three, m Intel more recently. But across the broader economy, 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:56.560 evidence suggests that the return to the office is stalled out. 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:01.480 From May to May last May to this May, the 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:05.480 percentage of folks working, or the percentage of pay to 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:10.360 full days worked from home, went from twenty seven percent 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.480 oh two years ago to twenty six percent this year, 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:16.880 so in two years, last two years, it's only moved 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:22.080 by a percent. Before the pandemic, it was about seven 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:23.240 percent for a while. 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:28.520 Yeah, we were talking earlier about I was trying to 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.359 remember the phrase bare minimum mondays that came out of 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:39.800 the pandemic. It was a rejection of hustle culture that 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:43.960 have been forced on us, forced upon us by evil capitalists. 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:49.359 It was forced upon us by uh reality, That's what's 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:51.679 forced it upon us. The fact that if you hustle, 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.639 you will get ahead and have a better life, and 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:57.600 have a better life and beat out the people that 0:20:57.640 --> 0:20:59.600 want the higher paying job, et. 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:00.359 Cetera, et cetera. 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.280 Right, and when you're young and energetic, you apply that 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:07.080 energy to improving your life. So when you're old and 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:11.080 slow and apathetic, hello, you'll have a decent life. 0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:14.760 I saw the couple different articles over the weekend about 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:18.639 the federal government and Thropic once again, and Thropic the 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.639 AI company coming to a point of friction, and I 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:25.119
