WEBVTT - Finna Get A Sandwich

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:23.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 3>It's a really sad thing. But actually about eighty five

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 3>to ninety percent of psychologists identify as.

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Left of center.

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.239
<v Speaker 3>And so when we pair that with knowledge that, for example,

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 3>there's a study out of Rutgers showing that over half

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 3>of people who identify as left of center felt it

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 3>was somewhat justified potentially to murder President Trump. So I

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.879
<v Speaker 3>think that my own field psychology has a real blind

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.519
<v Speaker 3>spot to this assassination culture.

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting.

0:00:55.760 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about the polling that shows way too many

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>people are comfortable with political violence now.

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 2>As a way to get what you want.

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>And you got the Luigiani story with murdering the United

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Healthcare guy and people that are okay with that. But

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>but Luigiani, how you say his name? I forgot No,

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you're you're you're, that's a portmanteau. You're giving them a

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>single name like benefit. Stop doing that, Luigi Menngioni. And

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 1>actually I was going to vote for replaying some of

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>those unhinged CNN clips with the Taylor Lorenz but we

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>can get that in a minute. But he seems pretty crazy,

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Luigi seems pretty crazy. And and so we're about to

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>tell you about the guy who set Governor Shapiro's governor

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.680
<v Speaker 1>mansion on fire in Pennsylvania.

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>All these people are crazy. So I don't.

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Understand how that fits in with our acceptance of political viole.

0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do crazy people pick up in the wind

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>different differing attitudes towards political violence or what have I

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>think the way they relate to their overton window, which

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 1>is essentially just the list of things you could do,

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>is different than a sane person. But crazy, obviously is

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>a really imprecise term.

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 2>You can have somebody that's profoundly psychotic.

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>You can have somebody who's just stupid and alienated, alienated

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and neurotic.

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like the kid who took chunk of Trump's ear.

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean he wasn't like seriously mentally ill, he was

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>just really odd.

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this guy.

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Balmer, he's the guy that if he didn't hear this

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend, it was Saturday night. He got onto

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the property where Governor Shapiro lives in Pennsylvania, to the

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Governor's mansion, got in there, got to the house, had

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>a hammer, smashed the windows open, threw in Molotov cocktails,

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>and started one.

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Heck of a fire.

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you've seen the damage that was done,

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>but I mean it caught things on fire for real,

0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and I mean Balmer, in an interview with the police

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>have been caught afterwards, admitted to harboring hatred of Governor

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Shapiro and said that he would have beaten him with

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>his hammer had he run into him that night at

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>the mansion. According to an affidated file in the case,

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Balmer's social media suggested not a particular ideology so much

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 1>as deep cynicism, in some posts espousing a libertarian bent

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 1>bordering on anarchism, and others praising violence. His Facebook posts

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:29.639
<v Speaker 1>included rants about big pharma, women, and the government, while

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 1>several posts slammed former President Biden. There was little sign

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>of any loyalty to any party. Of course, they say

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that when he's you know, as we all know, the

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>mainstream media adjusts their sales on these things depending on who.

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 2>They're mad at.

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>But sure, anyway, this guy didn't have a particular ideology.

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>It seems pretty clear outside of sociomyture of him. Yes,

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>his ideology is lunatic. Outside of social media, mister Balmer's

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>life appeared to have been unraveling in recent days. A

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>man who picked up the phone at Balmer's parents' home

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>on Monday said that we tried.

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 2>This is troubling.

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>We tried to get him help and he wouldn't take

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:17.039
<v Speaker 1>his medicine, said probably dad, and refused to answer any

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:17.799
<v Speaker 1>more questions.

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me, I'm dying from an unknown ailment. So.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>Mister Balmer's mother told CBS News that her son was

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>mentally ill and that she had reached out to local

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 1>police departments last week to have him picked up, but

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get anybody to help. The district attorney said the

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>police officers had gone to the parents home on Thursday,

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>more than two days before the attack, but they'd left

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 1>without taking any action. He didn't make any threats, he

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.559
<v Speaker 1>wasn't violent or expressing any violent intention, so there's nothing

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>they could really do.

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 2>He's an adult.

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>This is a serious problem We've got everywhere in the

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 1>country with these school shooters, political assassins.

0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Whoever.

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>You talked to their friends and parents, they say, yeah,

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>he's crazy. We knew he was crazy. We've been trying

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 1>to get somebody to block him up, but we can't

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>get anybody to lock him up because they haven't done

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>anything yet.

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 2>This happens over and over and over again. Yeah.

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.279
<v Speaker 1>I would love to see our best and brightest get

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>together and have a you know, a week long confab

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.840
<v Speaker 1>where they come up with, okay, the idea that you

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>can just be loose until you murder somebody or come close.

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 1>He had bets not acceptable. He had beaten his wife

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 1>and kid, both kids, so he's violent. She went after him.

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>But you know, you don't go to prison for the

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>rest of your life for that sort of thing. But

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 1>if I can finish my thought, we agree that waiting

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>until somebody has been killed is not a very good standard.

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Can we come up with a standard short of.

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:53.359
<v Speaker 1>That, that somebody's so plainly fruit loops and clearly, according

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to any but a reasonable observer, dangerous, that we intercede

0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>before the.

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Blood is spilled? How can we not do that as

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 2>a society? How awful is that? As a parent?

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 2>It's heartbreaking.

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>And they were calling the police last week, So I

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>mean he went off the rails, like right, before Saturday

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:15.919
<v Speaker 1>night when he actually tried to kill the governor.

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 2>There were twenty five people in that place. By the way,

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 2>that could have been an awful situation. Obviously.

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>How many children, Yeah, last week or several children, siblings

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 1>and parents were calling the police saying.

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 2>You gotta lock this guy up. He's nuts. Yeah, get

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.039
<v Speaker 2>him out. But there's nothing you can do.

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.280
<v Speaker 1>The police in, the police go there, they interview him.

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>He didn't make any threats, So what are you gonna do?

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>And obviously, as civil libertarians, we all understand the downside

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>of moving the line. The other direction is that if

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>you're a vengeful ex husband, you can just call police saying,

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>my wife's saying crazy things.

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Lock her up. She gets locked up, you say, because

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 2>that needs to happened.

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Back in the day, Yeah, there was especially a presumption

0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>of nuttiness toward females.

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 2>But make your own jokes at home if you like.

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>But surely we.

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Can design a system that's got a fail safe for

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 1>two so that can't happen.

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>It's again, this is not insurmountable.

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>So that's one aspect of this which I find interesting

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>that almost all the time, the people that knew them

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>best knew this was gonna happen.

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The other part is a person's crazy. So is the.

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, over the top rhetoric from our house members

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 1>or the news channels or whatever.

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Is this causing this when the people are nuts? I

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Maybe again I don't I couldn't explain how Again, the

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>overton window of a crazy person is different from that

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 1>of a sane person or somebody who's just at their

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 1>wits end and loses their temper and loses perspective temporarily.

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but it would seem there are ebbs

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and flows to political.

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Violence in US history. Definitely, that's undeniable.

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>And the crazy and the saying seemed to take part

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>in it during the periods of time when there's a

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of it, most notably, you know, in our lifetimes

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the early seventies when there were what something like two

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred bombings in the US by mostly far left groups

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 1>in the early seventies, weather underground at all. So yeah,

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>it's just I don't know exactly how it works, but

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 1>it's undeniable.

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 2>It is.

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>But like, was this guy if Marjorie Taylor Green and

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>AOC tempered their rhetoric, would that have made any difference

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to this guy or the guy who shot Trumper. I

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>just don't know, different answers for different people. Yeah, hey,

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>run eighty two. This is embarrassment to journalism. Donnie O'Sullivan

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>on embarrassment to journalism, CNN with embarrassment to journalism.

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Lorenz, who was the it girl.

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.200
<v Speaker 1>At the New York Times in Washington Post for quite

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>some time eighty two.

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.439
<v Speaker 4>The women who got her outside coorsh in New York.

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 5>So you're gonna see women especially that feel like, oh

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 5>my god, right, Like, here's this man who who's revolutionary,

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:21.079
<v Speaker 5>who's famous, who's handsome, who's young, who's smart. He's a

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 5>person that seems this like this morally good man, which

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 5>is hard to find.

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 1>He murdered a young dad in gold Blood, but he's

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.560
<v Speaker 1>a morally good man. Agree and chuckle Taylor Lorenz and

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Donnio Sullivan on CNN. Now granted they're not, they don't

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:46.520
<v Speaker 1>have huge influence in America anymore. But their comfort expressing

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 1>that point of view that somebody you committed a heinous

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>act of political violence against somebody who had not wronged

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 1>them directly at all, well, Taylor Lorenz and Donnie Sullivan

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>not at all. But Luigi Mangioni, I mean, he didn't

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>deal with United Healthcare at all, He had no relationship

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>with him. He just thought, all right, healthcare insurance in

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>general is evil. I'm gonna gun down a young dad

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 1>on the streets of Manhattan, and they're chuckling about it

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and loving it and explaining how he's a revolutionary. He's young, smart,

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>he's a morally good man, which is hard to find.

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 1>That sort of tolerance of horrifying political violence seeps into

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.679
<v Speaker 1>brains both sane and insane. It has to, but it

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have anything to do with your political view either.

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 1>If somebody gunned down Randy Weingarten today, I would think

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>that was awful. Yeah, she's the one that locked up

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:43.440
<v Speaker 1>your kids in school for two years because she's.

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 2>An evil human being.

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>But you can't be going around shooting people to solve things.

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>You need to vote and organize, and you know, we

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>have a system for this, right or it all falls

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.320
<v Speaker 1>It all falls apart immediately when we use violence to

0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>solve things. Yeah, absolutely true. God, that is horrifying. That

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.680
<v Speaker 1>aired on CNN. It did, and there's quite a bit

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to it, and good solid learned commentators have joined us

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.239
<v Speaker 1>in saying that is one of the most sickening spectacles

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>they'd ever seen.

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 2>It really is.

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Holding him up is not only like cool, but like

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you can't find guys like this again where you know,

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>don't you wish all more guys were like this cute

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and morally brave mars to shoot a guy in the

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 1>back who's walking to work. And let's go ahead and

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:36.559
<v Speaker 1>play clip number eighty, in which Taylor Lorenz expresses, just

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.200
<v Speaker 1>just open contempt for anybody who's concerned about this.

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 5>Hilarious to see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 5>their pearls about someone standing a murderer when this is

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 5>this is the United States of America. As if we

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 5>don't lionize criminals, as if we don't have you know,

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 5>we don't stan murderers of all sorts, and we give

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 5>them Netflix shows. There's a huge disconnect between the narratives

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 5>and angles those are of mainstream media pushes and what

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 5>the American public feels. And you see that in moments

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 5>like this.

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Lots of men hold women down and forcibly rape them.

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>The question isn't whether it happens or how much it happens, Taylor.

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 1>The question is it morally repugnant or not? And the

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 1>answer is, in both of these cases, it's horrific. It's

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>repugnant millionaire pundits clutching their pearls.

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 2>She's a despicable human where she is? Oh my god, man.

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>It it one thing we've learned in the last couple

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>of years that I never understood my whole life.

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.199
<v Speaker 2>I didn't understand how.

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 1>The French Revolution could happen, how the Soviet Union could happen,

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:49.840
<v Speaker 1>how lots of things could.

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Happen over time. And I now understand.

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Because there are whotudes, slaughter institute, seasoned vice versa.

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I never understood how those things could happen, and now

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I fully get it. People can justify anything. Uh troubling.

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about that? Text line four one, five,

<v Speaker 6>Getty Star studied all female Blue Origin flight grew, including

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 6>Katie Perry and Gail King lasting off headed to the

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:19.959
<v Speaker 6>edge of space.

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh for crying at lift off? How would you describe it?

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 2>It's very difficult because you're you're floating.

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 7>But the best part was when we got back in

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:32.320
<v Speaker 7>our seats after zero G's Katie sang, what a wonderful world?

0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 2>She did that nice? She said, what a wonderful I

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 2>see dreams? Oh, yes, yes, yes, oh. Because we've been

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:41.080
<v Speaker 2>asking her.

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.439
<v Speaker 7>To sing all the time and she wouldn't and she wouldn't.

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 7>And then because everybody said sing roars, sing fire, and

0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 7>she said.

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.079
<v Speaker 2>It's not about me. I wanted to talk about the world. Wow,

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, is that nice? You got to ask her

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 2>about that?

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 1>And now the stoned girl you wish you hadn't started

0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 1>talking to at a party.

0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 2>You are officially an astra or not? How do you feel?

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I still can't accept that word.

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 6>I just feel a renewed connection to everything in life

0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 6>and where we are, and I can't wait to go

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 6>back out there.

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 1>It is the highest high, and it is surrender to

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the unknown.

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Trust God. We have played these that first clip about

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 2>the Katy Perry saying what a wonderful world? Oh my god,

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 2>she did.

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.600
<v Speaker 1>We've played this like fifteen times and we're all still

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 1>rolling our eyes and shaking our heads.

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, she did?

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 4>Did you cry?

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes? It must be.

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Would it be more enjoyable to go through life like

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 1>that or less? But you're you're you're more easily awe

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 1>stricken than I am.

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 4>I feel like more people would be funny, people would

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 4>be put off by you, right if you're constantly awe stricken.

0:14:55.080 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Oh my god, that's awesome. It's the

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 2>highest tie.

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 1>It's the rendered to the unknown. Susie Weiss writes for

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>The Free Press.

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I love this.

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 1>If you don't know what a bachelorette party is like,

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.080
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you. It's like being vacuum sealed in

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 1>a tin can with a bunch of girls you don't

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 1>know that well, that well, but with whom you have

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>to pretend to have a life changing experience for the

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.520
<v Speaker 1>sake of the bride, who invited everyone and.

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Who has a vision.

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 1>What happened on this this morning's historic American space flight.

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 4>H Truer words have never been written.

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Really, Katie, that's interesting.

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I never thought about the bachelorette party where there's like

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 1>it's got to be like a life changing experience, especially.

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 4>When it's like a group of friends and you're not

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 4>part of that group and you have to go in

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 4>and it's all ah.

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Going.

0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 1>The tagline of the trip was taking up space, and

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing smelled of a hen party, down to

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the custom flight patch and matching outfits. The women all

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>wore figure hugging blue bell bottom Flight who is custom

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>made by the brand Moms and delivered on Perry's promise

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Katie Perry that the six lady crew would put.

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 2>The ass in an astronaut. Well, I had no problem

0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 2>with that. That part I approved of. Let's see.

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 1>A few days ago, Perry told the AP she was

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 1>doing this to inspire the next generation. But watching all

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the coverage, it seems like this flight was more like

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the most publicized and most expensive bachelorette party ever, rather

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 1>than a generational watershed.

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to know where to start.

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Sometime in the days before the flight, the women were

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>recorded standing with their arms around each other, looking up

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 1>at the dock rocket, telling it we love you and

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.240
<v Speaker 1>bring us back safe, as though they were talking to

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 1>an uber driver charged with getting them to and from

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 1>a club in Las Vegas. Harry also inexplicably told the rocket,

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 1>thank you for helping us heal my God, and then

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 1>she mentions she talks about some of them ringing the bell,

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.480
<v Speaker 1>which is a tradition. There are always two kinds of

0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 1>women at a bachelorette party one usually the having the

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>absolute time of her life and the older girl, maybe

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.160
<v Speaker 1>a cousin or future sister in law, who is an

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.719
<v Speaker 1>abject hell, questioning why she even said yes in the

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:09.399
<v Speaker 1>first place.

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and getty, complete and utter joy and gratefulness. You

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.879
<v Speaker 2>can hear no dream is too wild.

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:23.040
<v Speaker 5>The moon was so beautiful, and that was like, I

0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:24.720
<v Speaker 5>felt like that was a special gift.

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Just for me.

0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.680
<v Speaker 7>You can't go through what we went through to look

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:29.480
<v Speaker 7>out for each other, to help each other.

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.760
<v Speaker 2>And not be changed by that. I will never be

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:37.880
<v Speaker 2>the same. This experience is right second to being a mom.

0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:42.359
<v Speaker 1>You can't go through what we went through together, the

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:44.080
<v Speaker 1>way we had to help each other and be there

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 1>for each other without being.

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 2>What did you do at all?

0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>You walked into a room, basically you sat down. They

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:54.680
<v Speaker 1>buckled your belts, They shot up, and he came back down.

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.199
<v Speaker 2>What the hell are you talking about? I've got to

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.120
<v Speaker 2>admit you're not we few?

0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:08.439
<v Speaker 1>We happy few. I mean, come on, yeah, exactly. It

0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 1>did not go to the moon on top of a

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 1>tin can. Nobody would. I was sure would work. So

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I've got to admit I so misread this. I was

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.680
<v Speaker 1>just rolling my eyes at this entire thing and paid

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 1>no attention to it, not realizing the enormous comedic potential

0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 1>that it would you know, well, never mind potential, the

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>yield from this mission, this ship of fools, if you will.

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 1>So I was we were quoting Susie Weiss earlier, who

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 1>writes for the Free Press, and it's just hilarious.

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I so want to hang out with her.

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 1>But so she's relating it to like the bachelorette party

0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 1>from Hell, and how all the dynamics are exactly the same.

0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 1>If you missed last segment, I suggest strongly you get

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.199
<v Speaker 1>it via the podcast Armstrong, you Getty on demand, But

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.879
<v Speaker 1>she says, and I missed all of this. When the

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.160
<v Speaker 1>group got up to space and started floating, everyone's perfectly

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.680
<v Speaker 1>coft hair flying everywhere. The group huddled to chant take

0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 1>up space, and then like when your pregate, when you pregram,

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 1>when you pregame too hard before hitting a bar, they

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:12.200
<v Speaker 1>all split up to do their own thing.

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 2>This is so freaking good, Katy Perry, too hard.

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Katie Perry held a daisy her daughter is named Daisy,

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.480
<v Speaker 1>for the camera and teared up. She also revealed a

0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:30.119
<v Speaker 1>set list for her upcoming Lifetime's tour on a cardboard

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:34.639
<v Speaker 1>butterfly before letting it float away. Oh my god, you

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 1>did the thing with your daughter and then publicized your

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:39.359
<v Speaker 1>tour in the same breath.

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Whoa boy? You held a daisy for your daughter named Daisy.

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm having trouble connecting dots here and then

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 1>I taking the spaceship in your how does this fit together?

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Elsewhere in the pod, Lauren Sanchez held up a plushy

0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:59.280
<v Speaker 1>of Flynn, the dyslexic fly character from her children's book

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.719
<v Speaker 1>The Fly Who Flew to Space, and like a drunk person,

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:07.080
<v Speaker 1>kissed it and said, proud of you, Flynn, look a droppers.

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Proud of you, Flynn, because you're on a space tourist

0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 1>flight that some of these people paid for. By the way,

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Katy Perry was a freebie, but anyway. Bo held up

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 1>an embroidered patch that said Bahamas with the Bahamian flag,

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.720
<v Speaker 1>while nun Shot gave a shout out to Vietnam. Apparently

0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.439
<v Speaker 1>at one point, Katy Perry sang, what a wonderful world,

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 1>which isn't my choice for karaoki, but a solid one nonetheless,

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Like the Maid of Honor who takes her job very seriously.

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Perry never sat still.

0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.240
<v Speaker 1>In another shot, she was upside down making a shape

0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 1>of a heart with her hands. Then, like any group

0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:45.440
<v Speaker 1>of girls who knows their horoscopes, someone screams.

0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Out look at the moon.

0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:52.600
<v Speaker 1>These spacecraft's descent had the same audio footprint cackling, screaming,

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>whooping as one of those eighteen person party bikes that

0:20:56.040 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 1>you see bachelorettes drinking on all over Nashville when they

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:04.960
<v Speaker 1>got out of the When they got out of the

0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:08.119
<v Speaker 1>vehicle back on Earth, like any exhausted bridal party member,

0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.080
<v Speaker 1>landing at LaGuardia at two am Monday morning, it was

0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:14.120
<v Speaker 1>as though they'd spent years up there. Perry and King

0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:16.840
<v Speaker 1>each kissed the air at ground once they disembarked the pod,

0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:21.640
<v Speaker 1>with King exclaiming thank you Jesus. Sanchez and Nuen both sobbed.

0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:24.160
<v Speaker 1>And I must point out that Bezos, the eager groom,

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.719
<v Speaker 1>fell on his face as he maneuvered to free his bride.

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he fell down.

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the whole kissing the ground after you get back

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.679
<v Speaker 1>eight minutes later, what the hell is that?

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 2>There's just a little more.

0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 1>In the postgame interview, Perry said the experience in space

0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 1>was up there with meditation or the Hoffman process, whatever

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:48.120
<v Speaker 1>that is. We're all looking around and saying, what that's

0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:51.399
<v Speaker 1>the uber expensive retreat where celebrities go to meditate and

0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:55.520
<v Speaker 1>exercise childhood traumas because quote, you're like really finding the

0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:58.240
<v Speaker 1>love for yourself, because you got to trust in yourself.

0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a quote from Katy Perry that she felt connected to,

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:06.400
<v Speaker 1>quote the divine feminine. The purpose of the trip wasn't

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.160
<v Speaker 1>to bring back any moon rocks or calculate the astronomical

0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:12.000
<v Speaker 1>unit between stars. The point was just to be literally

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to take up space up near the edge of Earth.

0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Much like The Bachelorette.

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 1>The concept was to look good, have a great time,

0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and do a lot of screaming and honestly, mission accomplished.

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Now come the instagrams.

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:25.199
<v Speaker 1>If you have a face full of makeup, had your

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 1>hair done, and schlept to West Texas for your friends

0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:30.440
<v Speaker 1>to blast through the sound barrier, you might as well

0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>get some likes out of it and sounding for all

0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:35.760
<v Speaker 1>the world like someone who narrowly survived Atlantic City and

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 1>who has a rehearsal dinner to plan. Sanchez told the

0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 1>on site Blue Origin interviewer, quote, I had to come back.

0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:51.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're getting married. Oh wow, that was women

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 1>really delicious. Hilarity in this is is well delicious. That

0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 1>is really brilliant to compare that to a bachelorette party,

0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 1>because it's it is spot on, it is it is

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 1>absolutely the same vibe. I can't wait to send this

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 1>to both my daughta from another mother, Katie, and my

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 1>actual youngest daughter, who has been party to many of

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 1>these exhausting spectacles and testaments to how much you love

0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:21.479
<v Speaker 1>the bride.

0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad some she truly does. Yeah, I'm glad that

0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Katie's here.

0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:28.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, so we got a woman who's mocking this

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:30.639
<v Speaker 1>and not just a couple of dudes, because.

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean you can. You can love the bride

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.920
<v Speaker 4>and the bachelorette party can still be hell on earth.

0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:40.119
<v Speaker 1>It's just you know, well, the thing I used to

0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I worked at a bar for many many years, a

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:46.120
<v Speaker 1>big country bar, like dance club sort of bar, really big,

0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:48.360
<v Speaker 1>and I would see this every Friday and Saturday night.

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:53.200
<v Speaker 1>So there'd be the couple of chicks that got there

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>at like nine and then they're one of their friends

0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:00.760
<v Speaker 1>from work would walk in it like fifteen, and they

0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 1>would all go and run over and hug each other,

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:06.880
<v Speaker 1>and I would think, I mean a lot of times

0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I knew these people and I thought, you just you just.

0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Left work at five o'clock.

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean like four hours ago, you worked all day today,

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:14.400
<v Speaker 1>and you are you seeing each other a few hours

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 1>later at the bar and you're acting like you haven't

0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:17.639
<v Speaker 1>seen each other in two years?

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, what is that?

0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 1>And they would do it every Friday and Saturday night,

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and I've never quite understood.

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:25.400
<v Speaker 2>And they run them and they hug each other.

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe you're here, even though we said when

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:29.920
<v Speaker 1>we left work four hours ago, see at the bar later.

0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:32.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I just I don't so I don't understand

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:36.200
<v Speaker 1>that whole thing. And then you saw the womanhood, yes, right,

0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.159
<v Speaker 1>you saw that whole thing on display kind of with

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:40.400
<v Speaker 1>the rocket yesterday.

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 2>It was basically the same thing. Told me, God, I

0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:45.360
<v Speaker 2>can't believe you're here. Yeah, we trained for this, for.

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:48.800
<v Speaker 4>What are you doing here?

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Exactly? Oh?

0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:55.400
<v Speaker 1>And it has to be so magical important and oh

0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>you can't just say, hey, that was really fun, that's great,

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>views amazing.

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:03.520
<v Speaker 2>No, it's got to be transcendent.

0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, I have a couple of I have a couple

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:10.400
<v Speaker 4>of friends that do that every time they see friends,

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:13.600
<v Speaker 4>and nothing makes you want to turn around and just

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:14.160
<v Speaker 4>walk out.

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.000
<v Speaker 1>You're either that kind of person you're not, And I

0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 1>have no I personally have known preeople that do that,

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:21.119
<v Speaker 1>and they're very nice people.

0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's very sweet, but boy, I just don't get it.

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:29.240
<v Speaker 1>So I didn't realize this till you mentioned it, Joe.

0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 1>So the space tourism you can pay to do that

0:25:32.640 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 1>thing has begun.

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, what does it cost currently? Do you know?

0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh gosh, I don't remember. I remember when it was

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:41.160
<v Speaker 2>like six figures.

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:45.119
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, Yeah, it's five six figures, fifty grand, one hundred

0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:46.159
<v Speaker 1>grand something like that.

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:47.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what price.

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 1>What would it have to get down to where you

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:54.399
<v Speaker 1>would even consider it, because I I wouldn't pay, And

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't even mean from a whether you can afford

0:25:56.600 --> 0:25:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it or not.

0:25:57.720 --> 0:25:59.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's worth ten thousand dollars.

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I think for ten thousand dollars, I could take a

0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:06.520
<v Speaker 1>better vacation that ought to have better memories of them

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:13.480
<v Speaker 1>doing that personally. Uh yeah, yeah, I haven't really thought

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 1>about it.

0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:19.080
<v Speaker 2>It would be pretty amazing, I think, but pretty I

0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 2>don't think.

0:26:19.560 --> 0:26:22.360
<v Speaker 1>It would like I would change my view of all

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:25.800
<v Speaker 1>humanity and what love means the way some of these

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 1>people seem.

0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:26.920
<v Speaker 2>To claim it.

0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like I already have an appreciation for

0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the fact that when you look at the planet, you think,

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 1>all right, the disputes of the people in that tiny

0:26:34.600 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 1>corner and those people right next to them are stupid,

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and they ought to drop it and figure out a

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:42.400
<v Speaker 1>way not to slaughter each other's children.

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I already think that. Actually.

0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 1>The one that made the most sense to me was

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 1>William Shatner when he went up last year sometime and

0:26:54.600 --> 0:27:01.640
<v Speaker 1>he was talking about everything being dead in space. There's

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:05.359
<v Speaker 1>just life is here on Earth. This is where all

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the life is happening in love and everything like that.

0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Everything outside of here is dead. It's just a barren rock,

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:13.879
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of interesting. Well, and I think it

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:18.120
<v Speaker 1>would be actually a transcendent experience if you got up

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:20.280
<v Speaker 1>high enough, and I'm not sure, I mean, they could

0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 1>absolutely see the curvature of the Earth and comprehend that

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:24.520
<v Speaker 1>it is indeed a sphere.

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Roughly. I think that.

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:30.399
<v Speaker 1>Would be really really cool and interesting. But again, I

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:33.120
<v Speaker 1>already know what I've seen the pictures. Yeah, I've seen

0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:36.280
<v Speaker 1>really good pictures like in a I've seen them in

0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the sphere in Las Vegas, surrounded by four k I mean, so.

0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:41.639
<v Speaker 2>How much better would it be than that?

0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm not trying to be too cynical, but no,

0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I just find it hard to believe.

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 2>I'd come back and say, I now understand what love means.

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think I would enjoy the feeling of weightlessness.

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I would love that that I would like to experience.

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:57.439
<v Speaker 1>How long do they get to do it? Like a minute?

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I've wanted to do that since I was little kid.

0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Get to float around like an astronaut. I think that

0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 1>would be That'd be the most amazing.

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:06.679
<v Speaker 2>Part to me to ever get to do that. You

0:28:06.720 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 2>know what the best part would be?

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 1>You know that my little yellow pad that I have

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:12.560
<v Speaker 1>in the bathroom where I write down my weight every day.

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:16.639
<v Speaker 1>That day I would write down to zero, and the

0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:20.280
<v Speaker 1>next day I'd go back to whatever happens to be. Yes,

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:26.720
<v Speaker 1>briefly today, I wait nothing. Then I had a bad day.

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:28.639
<v Speaker 1>I had more, but I knew I shouldn't have that

0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:30.879
<v Speaker 1>last piece of pizza, and I gained one hundred and

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:31.639
<v Speaker 1>ninety eight pounds of.

0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we'll finish strong.

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 6>Next, in a new interview, Rosie O'Donnell revealed her friendship

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 6>with Lyle Menendez, saying that he made her feel quote

0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 6>safe enough to trust and love a straight man. Upon

0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 6>hearing this, Menendez came out as gay and returned to

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 6>his prison cell.

0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 1>It's tax day, and I have a feeling many of

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:00.000
<v Speaker 1>you have heard this before.

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:03.040
<v Speaker 2>I hadn't. Somehow, it's pretty good.

0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:07.640
<v Speaker 1>It's a letter Donald Rumsfeld sent to the IRS back

0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:10.240
<v Speaker 1>in twenty fourteen on tax Day. Donald Rumsfeld, who was

0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the oldest Secretary of Defense we've ever had and the

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 1>youngest Secretary of Defense we've ever had under Ford and Bush.

0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:20.560
<v Speaker 2>You might remember him from the.

0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Go for anyway, he and his wife sent this letter

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to the IRS in twenty fourteen. Dear Sir Madam, I

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:30.680
<v Speaker 1>have sent in our federal income tax as in prioris.

0:29:30.800 --> 0:29:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Is important for you to know that I have absolutely

0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:36.040
<v Speaker 1>no idea whether our tax returns and our tax payments

0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 1>are accurate. I say this despite the fact that I

0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 1>am a college graduate and I try hard to make

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:43.040
<v Speaker 1>sure our tax returns are accurate. The tax code is

0:29:43.080 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 1>so complex and the forms are so complicated that I

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:48.760
<v Speaker 1>know I cannot have any confidence that I know what

0:29:48.840 --> 0:29:51.520
<v Speaker 1>is being requested, and therefore I cannot and do not know.

0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 1>And I suspect a great many Americans cannot know whether

0:29:54.680 --> 0:29:58.160
<v Speaker 1>or not their tax returns are accurate. As in past year,

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:00.560
<v Speaker 1>as I have spent more money than and I wanted

0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:02.920
<v Speaker 1>to spend to hire an accounting firm to prepare our

0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 1>tax returns, and believe they are well qualified. This note

0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 1>is to alert you that I know that I do

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>not know whether or not my tax returns are accurate.

0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Which is a sad commentary on governance in our nation's capital,

0:30:14.240 --> 0:30:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and it goes on. It's in other words, it is yes,

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:20.640
<v Speaker 1>how does the end? He says, I do hope that

0:30:20.680 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 1>at some point in my lifetime, and I am now

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 1>in my eighties, so there are not many years left,

0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the US government will simplify the US tax code so

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 1>that those citizens who sincerely want to pay what they

0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 1>should are able to do it right and know they

0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:34.680
<v Speaker 1>have done it right. I should add that my wife

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:37.920
<v Speaker 1>of fifty nine years, also a college graduate, has signed

0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 1>our joint return, but she also knows that this does

0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 1>not have any idea whether or not our tax payments

0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:44.480
<v Speaker 1>are accurate.

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Sincerely, Donald Rumsfeld, that's pretty funny. Wow, wow, yeah, no kidding. Well,

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I've been saying this for years. It's clearly true.

0:30:56.640 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 1>The government, at the point of a prison sentence makes

0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>you pay taxes. Okay, fine, but then you make it

0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:09.320
<v Speaker 1>so complicated that you have to hire somebody to figure

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 1>out how much you have to pay your own expense

0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to the government, and even then you can't be certain

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that you haven't violated any law. That's a ridiculous system. Yeah,

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:25.040
<v Speaker 1>it's abusive, it's absurd. It's the product of lobbyists and

0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:28.560
<v Speaker 1>social engineering and legitimate desires to shape society and the

0:31:28.560 --> 0:31:33.080
<v Speaker 1>rest of it. But you know, I just if someone

0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:37.240
<v Speaker 1>proposed this system, they would probably be fifty one fifty

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:41.120
<v Speaker 1>and held for their own safety and that of others, right,

0:31:41.200 --> 0:31:42.200
<v Speaker 1>because you'd have.

0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:44.480
<v Speaker 2>To be insane to propose our current system.

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>And always keep in mind, while the Democratic Party winds

0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and moans about taxes all the time, and they would

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:57.120
<v Speaker 1>like taxes to be higher in general, they don't attack

0:31:57.400 --> 0:32:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these regulations that help out them and

0:32:03.080 --> 0:32:06.680
<v Speaker 1>their friends and all kinds of different people that want

0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:07.920
<v Speaker 1>them to stay the same way.

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:08.840
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Right, when Hillary Clinton was running for president and going

0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:15.400
<v Speaker 1>on or whoever democratic president's going around running around complaining

0:32:15.400 --> 0:32:18.240
<v Speaker 1>about the Richard. They don't point out specific things that

0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 1>they want change in the textago.

0:32:19.680 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 2>They don't.

0:32:20.560 --> 0:32:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, if there were any reason for this conversation to

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:25.120
<v Speaker 1>take place, and I don't think there was, it would

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 1>have Hillary would have spouted about taxing the billionaires and

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:30.960
<v Speaker 1>their assets and blah blah blah. Jamie Diamond, some Wall

0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Street giant would call her and say you don't really

0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:35.680
<v Speaker 1>mean that stuff, and she's say, no, no, of course not.

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>And he said, okay, fine, I get it right here.

0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:44.200
<v Speaker 1>You're it's populism. Admit me quotus to this history. Who

0:32:44.800 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 1>prologue like your humble patients, prey gently to hear, kindly

0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to judge the final thoughts of Armstrong and Ditty. Yeah,

0:32:54.960 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 1>so I'd rather have people talk like that than say, Finna,

0:32:58.360 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 1>get a sandwich.

0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Finn to do final thoughts with our host Joe Geddy.

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.

0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Say how about our technical director Michael Angelo leading us off, Michael, Yeah,

0:33:10.320 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 1>next time I fly Southwest Airlines, I'm gonna kiss the

0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:14.040
<v Speaker 1>ground when we land.

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:16.040
<v Speaker 6>And hold up a daisy and tell everybody I now

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:17.040
<v Speaker 6>know what love is.

0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I think you should Katie Green or Esteemed to use

0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:23.400
<v Speaker 1>women as a final thought, Katie, Well, for.

0:33:23.360 --> 0:33:24.120
<v Speaker 2>The rest of the week.

0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:28.840
<v Speaker 4>Every time I see you guys, I'm gonna go show

0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:30.560
<v Speaker 4>my excitement and.

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:31.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll yell it back.

0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Jack. A final thought for us, Yeah, next time I

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:37.320
<v Speaker 1>do the fifty minute flight to Burbank and get off

0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the plane, which by the way, is five times longer

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:42.640
<v Speaker 1>than their flight, I will talk about how what love

0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:44.560
<v Speaker 1>means to me, and how we all pulled together and

0:33:44.600 --> 0:33:46.640
<v Speaker 1>had each other's backs and all that sort of stuff,

0:33:47.520 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 1>and how it was just trust and the highest high sir,

0:33:53.160 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 1>get off the flight.

0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:54.840
<v Speaker 2>There are people beyond you.

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:58.600
<v Speaker 1>My final thought is I've often said I would love

0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the federal government to show me the bridge I have

0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:04.920
<v Speaker 1>paid for or the battleship. But honestly, if that were

0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:07.840
<v Speaker 1>to happen, it would probably be a bunch of lazy

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:12.160
<v Speaker 1>bastards with the pot addictions who don't work and I've

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:15.239
<v Speaker 1>been paying for their Medicaid all along, or something like that.

0:34:15.480 --> 0:34:16.600
<v Speaker 2>How disappointing would that be?

0:34:16.760 --> 0:34:19.719
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong In and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.

0:34:20.040 --> 0:34:22.280
<v Speaker 1>So many people think so little time good to Armstrong

0:34:22.320 --> 0:34:25.160

<v Speaker 1>at Armstrong You getdy dot com so something we ought

0:34:34.400 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 1>to be talking about.

0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:36.160

<v Speaker 3>Because an extreme concentration of Armstrong.

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:50.920
<v Speaker 2>And Getty, it became a parent that what we have

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:54.000
<v Speaker 2>here is I feel like that was a special gift

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 2>just for me.

0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:56.280
<v Speaker 7>I still can't accept that word.

0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I will never be the same, are you sure? Oh

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 2>dead show one final message. You can't go through.

0:35:02.040 --> 0:35:03.960
<v Speaker 7>What we went through to look out for each other,

0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:07.720
<v Speaker 7>to help each other and not be changed by that moron.

0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Get the hell out of here. Bye bye, Armstrong and

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Getty
