What a couple 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:03.040 this sing how Canada was gonna exact their revenge for 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:04.399 the tariffs, and this is it. 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:06.080 They're taking our women. 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.520 They're not just taking our women, they're taking our astronauts. 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:16.400 That's a good joan, He's not an obnoxious, politically leaning Kim. 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:20.720 It's pretty funny taking our astronauts. 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.200 Wow, good joke. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:27.119 Yes, So this is just yet more proof, as if 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:31.800 you needed it, that the whole green energy climate change 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.080 thing was a for profit scam. This is some great 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.640 writing Holman Jenkins, who I really enjoy. He's talking about, 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.600 you know, during the Obama years, they there was a 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.840 finding by the EPA. 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.120 I think it was that. 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:51.360 Carbon emissions that caused climate change threaten people's health, so 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.560 they could regulate it, like mercury in the rivers or 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.920 smog in the air. And he's writing about how thirty 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:03.080 nine scientists from various organizations just signed to find signed 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.520 a finding that in fact green greenhouse gases are in 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:10.120 fact a danger because the Trump administration EPA just said no, 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.240 they're not. So you got these thirty nine scientists anyway, 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.120 So to quote Jenkins, read on realize their book length 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.720 report is concocted for a bureaucratic and legalistic purpose, not 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.520 a scientific one. The finding in the Obama years came 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:27.400 to justify regulatory actions that have zero impact none on 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.240 climate change. Not only are US emissions too small a 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.040 share of the global total to matter in practice, EPA 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.520 actions mostly just drive US emissions off shore. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.119 Whatever they think. 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.359 The thirty nine scientists are part of a machine now 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.280 defending its own activity and privilege in one of the 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:44.600 biggest boondoggles in. 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.280 The history of policy making. 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.000 And then he points out and I was totally unaware 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:54.000 of this, Michael Moore, the fat progressive film directors. Why 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.040 would I take a shot at his body shape that 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:57.720 it helps us necessary? 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.440 I disagree. I think it wasn't this. I think it 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.600 helps describe who the person is for people who aren't sure. 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.560 Oh yeah, the fat progressive film documentary guy. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.639 Yeah, okay, the judges will permit it, it will stand, 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:10.600 objection overruled. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:11.600 Anyway. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.320 He had a movie come out in twenty nineteen, Planet 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.880 of the Humans, and he says, remember that, of course 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.360 you don't. It was shadow banned by the left and 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.680 film distributors, not because it wasn't climate apocalyptic y enough. 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.519 It was over the top on climate apocalyptics. It was 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.639 shadow band for pointing out that the US climate policy 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.120 was a fraud. Oh so, Michael, who actually believes this stuff? 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.320 Oh okay, so he actually believes climate change is a problem, 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:45.840 we need to worry about it, and that all the 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.800 stuff we're doing is fake and people need to know 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.000 that because you're not making a debt. Well, good for him, 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.920 I mean, you know, that's better than knowingly lying like 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.839 the al Gore crowd is doing right. 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.880 As Jenkins right, it consisted of colossal pork barrel spending 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.160 that was having no effect on the ellection problem. 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:06.640 That is amazing. 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:11.520 Michael Moore, one of the most revered documentary filmmakers of 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:18.040 the left ever, gets memory hold on eltros. 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:19.840 Yeah. Wow, that's interesting. 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.640 They have Richard York at the University of Oregon seen 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.240 marveling in the film at the self willed blindness of 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.200 the US policy community to a simple question to clean 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:33.520 energy subsidies result in fossil fuels being displaced, he says. 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.680 In a voice of wonder. No, they don't even know 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:36.920 that that's the question. 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.320 It reminds me of when Californians found out that not 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.280 only was there no measure of how effective the bums 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:48.040 and junkies billions of dollars spent had been, there wasn't 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.680 even a mechanism to look into the question. And that's 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.400 what this guy's saying about the climate change stuff. 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.919 I'm pretty optimistic that we're on the other side of 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.760 the whole trans issue and are going to go back 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.960 to it at its peak, you know, from a couple 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.279 of years ago where things were just off the rails. 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.120 But I don't. I don't have much faith that. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.200 We'll get on the other side of the climate change 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.520 thing where people will start being honest. Do you think 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.080 maybe we're actually are head in that direction. 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.480 It's going to be a tough one because a lot 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.000 of people are completely convinced that what they have been 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.200 told is correct. Well, I met, and the left is 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.320 dedicated to keeping that. Then, yeah, I met. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.640 More in terms of being honest about what things actually 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.359 are doing something and aren't doing something. I mean, to 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.640 Michael Moore's point, you need more people like him or 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.240 saying yeah, climate change is real, but the stuff we're 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:45.240 doing isn't doing anything. I'm not worried about climate change 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.200 the way he is, but none of these things are 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.520 doing any good. So what are we doing it for? 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.640 You combine people that don't believe in climate change with 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:59.239 people who are honest about it but realize this stuff 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.760 is phony, and maybe we could kill it most of. 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.400 It right, because we can't. 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:10.040 Actually we can't actually do anything about it. Reality bats last, 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.640 as we often say. I feel good that it's moving 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.640 in that direction. There are a bunch of headlines actually 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.919 that the entire world. Europe is now put its electric 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.480 car in backward in reverse. When it comes to electric vehicles, 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.080 the whole world is saying, you know, this wasn't quite 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.240 what everybody is saying it was, including even China, which 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.080 leads the world in electric vehicle use and sales and 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:31.840 manufacture and. 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:32.240 The rest of it. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.680 So I think, I think sanity is creeping into the issue. 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.159 But a couple of more stories real quickly, unless you 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.640 had more on that. I love the topic, But the 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:46.479 United Nations is about to tax you. If if you know, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.960 the other stuff we've talked to about today hasn't boiled 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:50.160 your frog already, this. 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.800 Will global government voters. 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.440 Voters are showing their opposition to the net zero climate 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:02.000 agenda whenever they get the chance in the US and 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:03.480 increasingly in Europe. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.640 It just doesn't make sense. People don't like it. 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.239 But that isn't stopping the United Nations, which this week 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.600 is poised to impose what amounts to a global tax 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.040 on carbon emissions. And yes, if you're wondering, this is 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:21.040 the definition of taxation without representation. Here's how they're doing it. 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:25.560 The International Maritime Organization, a UN body based in London, 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.240 hopes that it's meeting this week to secure final approval 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.840 for its net zero framework for shipping, and it would 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.200 impose charges per metric ton of carbon dioxide that ships 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.080 emit above certain levels, and the tax would be several 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.800 hundred dollars per metric ton, depending on various factors. That 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:44.240 could translate to an annual tax take of ten to 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:45.640 twelve billion dollars. 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.800 And then see how many of the people behind that 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.680 new rule somehow profit from that. 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.880 But that's horrifying. So I mentioned that I listened to 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:56.840 a podcast. 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.600 And all the money would go to the UN. By 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.800 the way, oh lovely right. 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.520 I mentioned I was listened to a podcast out of 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.880 Great Britain talking about what a disaster their net zero. 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.920 They really took net zero seriously and just destroyed their 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.160 economy a lot of Europe did. 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:14.920 In fact, I got a. 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.360 Stat on that that I wanted to bring that I 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:18.360 came across Pohl. 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.000 Seventy five percent of Brits agree with the statement Britain 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:26.320 is broken seventy five percent just in. 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.240 General, not just around climate change stuff. 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:33.120 Yeah, but I mean that selling out the economy to 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.920 that cult is one of the main drivers of unhappiness 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.240 and dissatisfaction of all of Europe. 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:45.280 Yesterday it was announced Ninvidia is worth more than the 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:50.040 entire German stock market. That one company, Mississippis. We had 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.680 this stat last week. Mississippi's per capita income is almost 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.520 the same as Germany's. So the most powerful economy in 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.360 Europe Germany is roughly the same is our poorest state 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:02.360 in the United States. 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.120 Yes, that is incredible. 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:11.000 Yeah, And one thing we don't have a near enough 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.600 understanding of in this country is why we have such 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.480 an engine of creativity and growth. 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.800 It's called liberty, for God's sake. 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.880 Yeah, we've been the richest country for a long time, 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:25.640 but not to this extent versus a relative to Europe, 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.040 and a lot of it is because of all that 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.000 climate change crap. They did so much climate change crap 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:31.359 to just destroy their economies. 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:33.080 That's amazing. 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:37.080 Though our poorest state is as powerful as Germany. 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.319 It's incredible. Yeah. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.520 It really is a final story that I wanted to 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.840 squeeze in because it's all kind of related. 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.920 Note to self by stock. In nuclear, here's the headline 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.200 for you. US Army plans to power bases with tiny 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:55.960 nuclear reactors. The Janus program fulfills Trump order to start 0:09:56.000 --> 0:10:00.000 powering military installations with state of the art nuclear technology. 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.600 This is such a great idea. 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.920 Dang right time to go nuke, hey hippies with your 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.040 no nuke crap and your climate change bull s. 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.360 And I wish I could use the word your day 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.000 is done. Man. I just pray that that jd. 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.760 Vance wins the next election or whomever there's I mean, 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.959 we got so far down the road to Crazyville. It's 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:24.560 going to take a minute or two to get our 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.880 way to find our way back to Sanity Town, or 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.520 at least Sanity Heights in the suburbs. 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:40.200 Jack Armstrong and Joe, the Armstrong and Getty Show, The 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.040 Armstrong and Getdy Show. 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.200 Just like hustling started, you know, just getting obsessed, you know, 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.319 sitting there with the you know, the wonderbread and five 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:51.720 stacks of a you know. 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.720 All right, So there was poor gavenwsome on a recent 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.400 podcast who knew he had grown up poor had to 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.000 hustle to stay alive, and the rest of it.

But Evan slept on 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.839 a couch and ate Wonder. Breton raised himself and he 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.240 opened a winery at the age of twenty five. Newsome 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:12.559 Man Investors. At the age of twenty five, Newsman Investors 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.240 created Plumpjack Associates LP with the help financial help of 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:17.240 Gordon Getty. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.959 In a two thousand and three article bringing up. 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:25.480 Baby Gavin in the SF Weekly magazine, it says Newsom's father, William, 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.760 was a judge and helped Gordon Getty get access to 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:31.240 the Getty family money. She writes, I've read the article 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.400 several times over the years, but it is no longer 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:38.360 available at SF Weekly. They took it down, but they 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:42.200 found an archive version posted it to Twitter. He even 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.720 helped Gordon Getty so his own father to get access 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.240 to the family trust. In return for these favors and 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.920 many others, Gordon Getty put him the father in charge 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.200 of managing a massive amount of money. Guess how Gavin 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.520 got the funds to start his fancy businesses at such 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.880 a young age. In ten of Gavin's first eleven businesses, 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.120 the primary money came from the Getty family, which is 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.199 intertwined with the Pelosi family by the way money. 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:09.720 I had read that while his dad did have access 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:14.119 to blah blah blah because his parents divorced, that Gavin, 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.040 you know, grew up with his poor single mom trying 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:18.520 to make ends meet, etc. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.240 No, No, the minute he was of age and again 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.760 he was a subject of Children of the Rich article, 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:25.920 and then he had all the money he could use 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.600 to finance all of his businesses the minute he was 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.360 an adult. So why lie about being a privileged kid? 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.480 Katie Grimes writes, because Gavin Newsom is inauthentic, phony and 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.840 specious to be polite, as well as a compulsive liar 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.880 to be a little harsh. Newtam's inauthenticity leads in but 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.280 compulsively lie to whomever he's speaking to a kind of pandering. 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:51.360 She mentions, when with Charlie Kirk, Newsom said he hinted 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.800 that he agreed with Kirk that biological men should not 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.920 playing women's sports, but then he did absolutely nothing about 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.520 it as the governor of the most egregious title on 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.600 via leading state in the country. 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.120 Maybe I don't speak Gavin well, but I didn't understand 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.120 what he said in that Charlie Kirk thing. I didn't 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.680 understand that clip we just played. I don't understand what 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.600 he was saying. He uses phrases the kind of hint 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.520 at something, but he never says anything. Well, you know, 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.360 I was out there running around, you know, and I 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.000 got the stacks of bread and what what are you 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:24.160 claiming here, I don't even know what you're saying. Rich 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.920 Lowry in the National Review, I asked, I'm sorry, it's 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:33.200 Jim Jim Garretty who's asking did Democrats really need a 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:34.960 white male version of Kamala Harris? 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.640 But it's worse than that. 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.160 How well do you envision Newsome connecting with all the 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.720 union voters in the Great Lake States? How about those 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.680 working class blue collar whites in North Carolina and Georgia 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:49.280 for that matter, Will Newsom, who banged his campaign manager's wife, 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.520 I had a nineteen year old girlfriend when he was 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.400 thirty nine, going to do better among women. When you 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.119 see that photo of Newsom on the rug with Kimberly Gilfoyle, 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.400 do you say, yes, this is the kind of Democrat 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:03.040 candidate who going to resonate with African Americans and Latinos. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:04.000 Yeah. 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:09.360 I always think that's a blind spot for Democrats, you know, 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.960 the coastal Democrats that they because I come from a 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:13.960 family of like everybody was a Democrat, but they were 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:18.200 all Firmer Democrats. They weren't Gavin Newsom sort of that 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:23.120 trans issues Democrats, and that's where Gavin's gonna really run. 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.480 Up rounds it, right, right, and then one final note 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.240 from Marcus Breton, who has been a columnist for the 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.880 Sacramento b I'm not sure he still is, and Marcos 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.600 always a decent guy, a man of good character. He's 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.800 a man of the left, and I frequently disagreed with 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.320 him vehemently, but he's a good man. He wrote this 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:47.440 in twenty eighteen, before Gavin was governor. If Gavin Newsom 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.960 elected governor of California without so much as a speed 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.920 bump on his political journey of entitlement, it may take 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.560 future social scientists to explain why current California voters were 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.560 so willing to give this guy a pass on all 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.040 of the things we know about him. 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.440 Can't you see this picture for what it really is. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:04.840 The fifty year old. 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.960 Lieutenant governor and former mayor of San Francisco is the 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.320 living embodiment of privilege, and people seem to be okay 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.720 with that. He has white male privilege, class privilege, wealth privilege, 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.000 the privilege of good looks. All creates a teflon exterior 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:21.480 protecting Newsome's horrendous lapses of judgment and character, excusing his 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.880 questionable background. It is simply accepted without a listening the 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:28.560 negative scrutiny that would dog or even derail lesser mortals. 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:33.160 Wow, and that's from a lefty journalist. Yeah yeah. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.400 And he talks about the connections to the rich, Geddy 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.200 and Pelosi families, how they pump money into everything he does, 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.000 and then his utter moral failings is he is. 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:48.080 The caricature hm, the sort of stereotype that people try 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:53.560 to plant on Republicans. Rich white, good looking guy connected, 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.400 you know, rose up through the ranks with no effort 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:01.880 whatsoever or talent. Right, But as a Democrat, he's gonna 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.480 try to pull off the I raised myself, you know, 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:06.720 stacks of bread. No, I don't know what do you 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.200 mean by the stacks of bread? What are you trying 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.159 to say back to Rich Lowry. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.119 Don't you think there's a good chance Republicans will be 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:16.560 able to portray the Marine County mansion owning luxury, sweet 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.439 partying wine sipping newsome who always looks like a villain 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.160 from a RoboCop movie. It is an out of touch elitist. 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.960 Never mind the whole NAPA dinner in the middle of COVID. 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.640 It was an early dinner. We all feel sometimes, Oh 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.920 that is Gavin Ron. 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:36.200 The Armstrong and Getty Show, Yea or Jack Orgeo podcasts 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:37.480 and our hot links. 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:42.640 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.280 I love Matt Tayebi, who is a man of the left. 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.200 He's a brilliant writer. You know, he's one of those 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.520 guys I disagree with him about twenty five percent of 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:55.360 the time, but his point of view is always intriguing. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:18:01.480 And he's writing about that up in Maine with the 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:09.560 Nazi tattoo, but more about Zoran Mumdami. Because Matt grew 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:14.879 up in a comfortable Northeastern household and was sent to 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:21.399 expensive boarding schools, and then he hits the job market 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.840 and he realizes he had no skills at all having 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:26.440 gone through that sort of education. 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.840 That's really and his dad was a famous reporter for 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.440 CBS News, one of the newscasts I watched as a kid. 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:36.119 His dad I'm whoever tivy. So he grew up with 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.480 that lifestyle. But then he got out of college and thought, 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:39.159 what am I going to do? 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:42.199 That's interesting, right, and he thought, yeah, I'd go with 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.320 the family business of journalism. But he hadn't really studied it, 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.120 so he had to start from the bottom. But here's 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:50.800 where it gets really interesting Across the next decade or 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.560 so of embarrassed residency abroad, because he went to live 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.399 in several foreign countries, I saw that real working class 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.560 people don't have the luxury to send their kids away 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:02.560 to whack themselves off in intellectual spas it's understood that 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.760 large percentages of young people will be needed to design 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.200 the next generation's roads, water treatment plants, refrigerators, etc. Living 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.919 in places like Mongolian who is Bekistan also introduced me 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:17.879 to the idea that less than extravagantly wealthy countries don't 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.640 have the luxury of sending class after class of their 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:25.240 best young minds through curricula devoted to deconstructing the core 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.280 premises of their society. In other words, in the rest 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:31.240 of the world, rational social planning not only results in 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.960 fewer kids studying pure theory, but the theorists those countries 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:38.119 do graduate are far less inclined to spend their lives 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.840 denouncing their home countries as forces of historical evil. 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.560 That's good. Yeah, it's a. 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:53.320 Luxury of the self ego grandizing rich to be self 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:56.600 hating and hate their countries. As I've said many times, 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.159 that's like the highest standard of showing how enlightened you 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:04.040 are spies, yourself, your country, your religion, the rest of it. 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:08.720 It's so you're you're so safe from attack from another country. 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:13.919 The water's so clean, the economy is so stable, the 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.479 government is so stable. Because the government and all of 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.800 that has allowed you to decide this is a horrible country. 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:24.439 That's right, an interesting turnaround. That's a luxury. Yeah. 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.639 He goes on in countries where the bulk of people 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.240 have to be concerned with survival, getting enough to eat, 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:33.040 not being conquered by rival nations or revolutionaries, and holding 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.719 crime and corruption to tolerable levels. Colleges don't teach kids 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:40.480 how they're citizens of oppressor nations that should probably be disbanded. 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:42.120 They certainly wouldn't do. 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:44.159 It if they lucked into the benefits of citizenship in 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:45.680 a country like the United States. 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.080 This country has problems, even serious ones. 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:50.880 But it's not like gangsters are setting up freelance toll 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:54.280 booths on I ninety five for West coasters. That's the 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:57.520 equivalent of I five on the East coast. Or the 0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:59.880 strip stake you ordered at Ponderosa has a good chance 0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:02.720 of being cat meat. The reference that amuse Jack a 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.040 great deal yesterday, and I'm not certain. 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.240 That that is a as solid as he. 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:12.160 Thinks, But they have atturneys moving along. 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:17.200 Citizens of countries that have known true suckage, including especially 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:20.719 the ones with Marxist or Maoist histories, laugh at the 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:22.520 things Americans call problems. 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:24.640 The only people who think the system that. 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:28.000 To produce the richest, safest empire in history is essentially 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:32.000
