1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Eddy.

4
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 3: So last night was a little bit quieter than it

5
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 3: has been in recent days. The Iranians had been promising

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: a night of fire and brimstone. They said that Iran

7
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 3: was preparing the most intense bombardment by missiles against Israel

8
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 3: that this country has ever seen.

9
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: And it didn't really happen.

10
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 3: There were a few explosions, there were a few missiles

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: that were fired at this country.

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: The Israeli Air Force says it.

13
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 3: Now has complete freedom of operation over Tehran. But the

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: Iranians are still firing some missiles at Israel. But last

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: night on a relatively small scale, not this massive attack

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: that they had been threatening.

17
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: That has got to make the leaders in Iran. I

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: don't even what your calculation is. When you have no

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: defense and you're just at the mercy of some of

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: the best planes and bombs that exist, I feel like it.

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: I would suggest one thing you might do is after

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 2: canceling negotiations with the US that were supposed to happen,

23
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: I think over the weekend. H the ietolers are now

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: frantically sending signals via every channel that exists that let's negotiate,

25
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: let's negotiate. Lit's sen down, Kimoo. Where do you want

26
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: to meet? We'll meet there, We'll be there, we'll be

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: there early. So yeah, they understand the position they're in,

28
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: especially after tuning in the news last night. Did that

29
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: he took that hafern on everybody's TV or just mine? Oh?

30
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: Man, the TV news got blowed up before they did sports. Yeah,

31
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: who won the big soccerment?

32
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? So yeah, that's the scene in Tehran.

33
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Trump tweets out last night. Uh yeah, you know,

34
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: I warned you, I told you so. Uh it's gonna

35
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: be so much death. I suggest everyone gets out of Tehran.

36
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: And everybody thought, oh, it's about to happen, like any minute.

37
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: And then he leaves the G seven meeting up in

38
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: Canada with all the leaders who signed off, by the way,

39
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: and a proclamation Iran ain't getting a bomb.

40
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: Everybody signed off on that.

41
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy others ain't gonna ain't gonna

42
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: get a bump, and uh so Trump comes back early,

43
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: but some people have speculated it's because he doesn't like

44
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: meetings and it was a good excuse to get out

45
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: of there earlier.

46
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: I don't blame him for that at all.

47
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: He comes from the real world, where you try to

48
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: accomplish things, not the let's just sit around and talk

49
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: and have a bunch of photos taken and stuff for

50
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: days at a time, like you do in government work.

51
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: I don't blame him at all for getting out of that.

52
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially because there's a real element of trust fund

53
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: kid among the leadership of the European countries and the

54
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: Canadians in the G seven. They are kept by the

55
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: United States security blanket to a large extent, and our economy.

56
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: They are valuable trading partners blah blah blah, but they

57
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: get to indulge all sorts of high falutant, enlightened sounding

58
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: talk because they haven't until fairly recently, taken a real

59
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: active role in their own defense. And so I just

60
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: I get tired of there. We are culling. Well. For instance,

61
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: they tried to pass a resolution calling for a cease

62
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: fire and a de escalation between Israel and Iran, and

63
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: Trump's like, no, that's not the time.

64
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he wouldn't sign up. He wouldn't sign off on that,

65
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: so they had to change the wording. So Trump makes

66
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: that announcement, get out of tran time is up. So

67
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: many people are gonna die. It's too bad. Didn't have

68
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: to happen. Leaves the meeting, comes back early. Word breaks

69
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: that he has assembled the National security team. They need

70
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: to be at the White House ready for him when

71
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: he walks through the door. That had all the sounds

72
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: of it's about to go down like now. And then

73
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: administration officials started contacting all the news agencies who interpreted

74
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: it the way I interpreted it and said no, no, no, no,

75
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: we're not getting involved in the offensive like now or

76
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: anything like that.

77
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: Calm down.

78
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: So what was Trump trying to do? He had to

79
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: know how that was gonna land for the whole world.

80
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: Was that just a psych Was that that? I really

81
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: don't know. There are multiple layers of head fakes.

82
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: Going on right now, all successful from Israel's point of

83
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: view so far. Yeah, I don't know.

84
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: Is that a good idea and not for the most

85
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: powerful world person in the world to do the whole

86
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: We're gonna get you right now?

87
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe next time. I mean it. It means that

88
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: good or bell if the discussion was how do we

89
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: get as many civilians out of Tehran as possible, and

90
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: the answer is we make it seem like there's an

91
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: impending catastrophic attack. That way they won't wait and see,

92
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: they'll get the hell out of town. We can minimize casualty. Yeah.

93
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: From for all the people who are critical of Trump,

94
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: he does seem to really hate the loss of life

95
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: that occurs in wars.

96
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an interesting aspect of his person.

97
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: It is.

98
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 2: So for what it's worth, Saudi Arabia and the other

99
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: Persian Gulf nations worried about a possible regional war. I'm

100
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: quoting from the journal. Now, I've been lobbying Trump to

101
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: pressure the Israelis to halt their campaign. I'm not sure

102
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: if they mean it. Interestingly enough, as the Arab States

103
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: have condemned the Israeli attacks on Iran in carefully cloak languages,

104
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: heinous attacks, violations of international law, blah blah blah, they

105
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: don't mean it. Behind the scenes, they're saying, oh my god,

106
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: this is the best thing ever. Interestingly serious new government

107
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 2: led by President Ahmed al Sharra, who was tied to

108
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: al Qaeda, the affiliated organization not terribly long ago, hasn't

109
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: said a damn word. He is not condemned to Israel

110
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: at all. He is desperate to get support from Western

111
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: countries and also despises Iran, which provided military aid to

112
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: Bashar Ala Saide to fight rebel forces during their fourteen

113
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: year civil war, which he was on the other side of. So,

114
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: you know, just you got to be a geopolitics freak

115
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: to really be wondering what's going on in Syria and

116
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 2: what does this guy want and what's he going to

117
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: turn into. But he has not threatened Israel in any

118
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: way from Syria, and that's the first time that can

119
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: be said in a very, very long All these countries

120
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 2: in the Middle East are thrilled about the idea of

121
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: Iran being obliterated and maybe regime change happening.

122
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: David Ignatius, writing in The Washington Post, Daneman, he's one

123
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: of the people that DC insiders pay attention to the

124
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: most in terms of his foreign policy writing, and he

125
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: is pro regime change this point, which is something given

126
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: the last twenty five years of US history.

127
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a horrible, evil, sucky regime on every single level.

128
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: Human rights, economics, foreign relations, its priorities, while the Iranian

129
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: people were having crappy and declining standards of living the Mullahs.

130
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: Instead of you know, making a more conventional army, we're

131
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: farming out billions and billions of billions of dollars every

132
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: single year to hasblon Hamas and some other notable proxies.

133
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: It's a terrible way to run a country. Anyway, they

134
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: should go. But I found this very very interesting, putting

135
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: politics aside for a moment. The New York Times, who

136
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: I was just shaming because they're shamelessly biased. When they

137
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: get away from bias, they do really good reporting. For instance,

138
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: this how missile defense works and why it fails, talk

139
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: about Israel and Iran and even the world's best defenses

140
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: can't always stop them. And I just found this very interesting.

141
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: I hope you do too.

142
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, over the weekend, about fifteen percent of the missiles

143
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 1: and drones got through.

144
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, once a ballistic missile is fired into the air,

145
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: and that's ballistic, remember like a ballistic report in a

146
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: cop show, it's a bullet. It's a missile. Like a bullet,

147
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: it travels a very predictable parabolic path. It's not a

148
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: maneuverable weapon anyway. Once a ballistic missile is fired in

149
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: the air, the defender has only minutes to identify its

150
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: precise trajectory and try to shoot it down the target.

151
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: An enemy warhead is inside an object about the side

152
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: of a size of a car that typically flies through

153
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: the edge of space at many times the speed of sound.

154
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: I've heard it described as trying to hit a bullet

155
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: with another bullet. The world's most advanced missile defense systems

156
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: deployed by Israel in the US stop some of the

157
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: missiles missiles, as Jack pointed out, not all of them.

158
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: And here's why stopping a ballistic missile attack is so difficult.

159
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: Ballistic missiles like the ones being fired by Iron escape

160
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: the atmosphere and accelerate to great speeds as they fall

161
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 2: back down to Earth. It takes about twelve minutes start

162
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: to finish to fire them and get to their target

163
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: in Israel from around, it's far less time to make

164
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 2: critical decisions about how to stop them within seconds. And

165
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: how these systems interlock was so cool to me because

166
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: I think most of us think, all right, yeah, they

167
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: shoot a missile and we've got sensors and then we

168
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: send something up to shoot it down, which is essentially accurate,

169
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: but this is more specific. So within seconds of launch,

170
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: satellites must detect a heat signature given off by a missile.

171
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: Launch radars then find the missile and try to calculate

172
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: its exact course. A defensive missile called an interceptor must

173
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 2: be fired soon after that to reach the incoming missile

174
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: in time. That's all hard enough with one missile, but

175
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: Iran has been firing a large volley of them. The

176
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: goal appears to be to overwhelm Israeli defenses, partly because

177
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: radars can only track so many targets at once, and launchers,

178
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: once emptied, may need a half an hour or more

179
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: to reload. Didn't know that, Yeah, yeah, so there are

180
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: limits on quantity obviously. Beyond that, if they're concerned about

181
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: future attacks, targeted countries may also need to make critical

182
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: split second decisions to reserve valuable interceptors only for the

183
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: incoming missiles that appear likely to do the most damaging.

184
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: Right, you don't want to use your best stuff on

185
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: some flying object that isn't going to do that much

186
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: damage and miss the one that's going to wipe out

187
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: an entire apartment building.

188
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I'm you know, if I'm the aggressor and

189
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: I've got like class AB and C missile C being

190
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: the most devastating ones, I'm going to send up a

191
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: hell of a lot of a's and b's and try

192
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: to occupy their missile defense. So, Israel's best known defense system,

193
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: the Iron Dome, was built to stop short range rockets,

194
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: and is too slow and limited when it comes to

195
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: ballistic missiles. For that, Israel relies on several more advanced

196
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 2: layers of defense designed to counter ballistic missiles at different

197
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 2: stages of flight. The most advanced systems, long range interceptors

198
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: like the Arrow three, operate in space, where ballistic missiles

199
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: like those in Iran spend most of their time. They're

200
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: the first chance to stop a missile, but high above

201
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: the atmosphere there's room for error. Both an interceptor and

202
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: an enemy missile shed the boosters that power them into space,

203
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: and so they're just two smaller vehicles remain hurtling toward

204
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: each other. The interceptor seeks a direct hit to destroy

205
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: the warhead. It has sensors to track the enemy missile

206
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: and thrusters to move it toward it, but by the

207
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: time the interceptor senses a target a mile away, it

208
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 2: has only a split second to adjust.

209
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: It's amazingology here boggles the mine. Yeah, and it's amazing

210
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: they shoot down as many as they do. And keep

211
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: in mind to Ron's missiles.

212
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: The ones they're sending over right now, it's like the

213
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: best generation of them are only about three feet wide

214
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: at the base. By the time they get rid of

215
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: their booster and they're in space and they're traveling two

216
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 2: miles a second. Try to hit that. Good lord, if

217
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: that wasn't hard enough, some ballistic missiles carry decoys to

218
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: trick the interceptor to brie left over from the boosters

219
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: can also confuse it, and then you know, we can.

220
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: We'll post this at Armstrong and getty dot com if

221
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: you really want to dig into it, because there's even

222
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: more the various layers of systems that interlock. But good lord,

223
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: physics and science coming together in military applications, it's just

224
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: it's crazy sophisticating.

225
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: I mentioned this before we take a break. I was

226
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: listening to the Telegraphs Ukraine podcast yesterday I usually get

227
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: the update and they said, just would like to point

228
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: out this was a couple of days ago. While Iran

229
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: sent one hundred missiles toward tel Aviv, Russia just sent

230
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: four times that many missiles toward Kiev, and nobody's talking

231
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: about which is an interesting point, right because people are people,

232
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: very similar dynamics involved in terms of really bad guys.

233
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: Getting both conflicts could have huge pivotal effects on history.

234
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: Sure we got a lot more on the way. That

235
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: doctor involved with Matthew Perry is going to plead guilty

236
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: in court today, So he must have been up against

237
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: it to be willing to plead guilty to whatever he's

238
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: being charged with. I'll look into that, among other things.

239
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: You killed Chandler. You deserve to go to prison.

240
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: Stay tuned.

241
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 4: Singer Lee Greenwood perform God Bless the USA over the

242
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: weekend at President Trump's military parade.

243
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 2: Oh did he?

244
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: Did anyone think he was gonna go up there and

245
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 4: be like, here's one of the.

246
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 2: New album.

247
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: Lee's Dreams. Yes, here's here's one of my new songs.

248
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: I've never met someone like two, three, four, Okay, see, uh,

249
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: you get paid for that. I think most places he

250
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: probably does the Trump stuff for free to keep the

251
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: brand out. In the old days, you'd be willing to

252
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: do it just because you'd sell a lot of the records,

253
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: but you can't make money on that anymore. So uh, yeah,

254
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: you must be getting paid well where it helps his concerts.

255
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's a good question.

256
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: I think it's the latter, probably something like that.

257
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: So, uh, I don't know if you know this. I

258
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: speak Persian, so that's very handy.

259
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: Uh.

260
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: The newscaster in Iran who got blowed up while she

261
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: was doing the news last night, I should have translated

262
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: that when we ran it earlier. Go ahead, Michael, I'm

263
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: here's the charity. The Oklahoma City Thunder took a three

264
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: to two lead in the NBA playoffs last night, holding

265
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: off those dollars. She was doing sports. She was doing

266
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: sports when we missiled.

267
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: Her from downtown and goes the dynamite.

268
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: Literally, boy, coming up, what are the Because you got

269
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: a lot of cops graduates out there right now, you know,

270
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: dun dun, dun dud. As we look forward, while we

271
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: look back, they what majors pay the most or the least.

272
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: As you head out into the workplace, we'll hitch you

273
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: with that list. It's good. It's fun. Every single year well,

274
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: I hope gender Studies is toward the top counting on it.

275
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: FBI put out a warning yesterday, urgent warning to one

276
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million iPhone users. Why I'm an iPhone user? Wow,

277
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: delete this text as soon as you get it. The

278
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: most popular scam that seems to be working right now

279
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: is all kinds of stuff claiming to be from the DMV.

280
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: They look very legit.

281
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: They have your whatever state you're in, the logo and

282
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff telling you if you don't

283
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: pay your unpaid toll or fine, he'd be subjected to

284
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: having your driver privileges revoked, possible jail time, blah blah

285
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And so don't fall for that one,

286
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: which of course is a real drag because like I

287
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: had a situation not that long ago, like the toll

288
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: system around here, to drive on the tolls in the

289
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: Bay Area. I got some text saying you haven't paid

290
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: your tolls. Well, that was a big scam, like a

291
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: year ago, so I was ignoring those. It turned out

292
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: this one was real. It was behind on one of

293
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: my tolls, or my thing had run out or something.

294
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: The last time I drove through my electronic thing, and

295
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: I got in all kinds of trouble and it was

296
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: a pain in the ass to fix it.

297
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: What are you supposed to do?

298
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: I supposed to supposed to go to their website and

299
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: try to look it up or call somebody. That's a

300
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: lot of work every time he got spam, fake email

301
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: or text.

302
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: Somewhere in America, there's a guy who got a text

303
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: that he missed jury duty and he oa fine. He said,

304
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: I'm not paying that fine. This is a scam. And

305
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: then the cops came and he said, you're not cops.

306
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: This is a scam. Then they took him to jail,

307
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: and he's saying to the other inmate, say this is

308
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: all a scam.

309
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: You wait and say, but he actually missie duty, right,

310
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: oh man, that's a drag. Top paying college majors, least

311
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: paying college majors, among other things.

312
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: On the way, hope you can stay here, armstrong and getty.

313
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 4: Otani kicks and throws, and off we go with a

314
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 4: bouncing ball foul ninety eight on Otani's first pitch. Here's

315
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 4: this payoff popped into center field. Pahes coming on dive

316
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 4: in a Tempa can't get there and it's a blue

317
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 4: pit for Tatis that.

318
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: Things keep happening for Sati.

319
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: This jammed on the ninety nine.

320
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: Out for our fastball, but is able to dump it

321
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: right in front of PA has.

322
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: Eat off Man.

323
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: That's enough thought inside baseball for US general fans.

324
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: But show hey.

325
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: Otani returned to pitching for the first time as a Dodger,

326
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: pitched one inning through one hundred and point two mile

327
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: an hour pitch. At one point as just reading an

328
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: LA Times columnist who said that should not be possible

329
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: physical for a guy of his bill to throw one

330
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: hundred mile an hour pitch. And he's also one of

331
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: the greatest hitters out there, and so there you go.

332
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 2: We'll see how he You know, what's interesting is.

333
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: The NBA Finals going on right now between Indiana and

334
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. I realize, unless you're not an NBA fan,

335
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: you're not paying attention, and even a lot of NBA

336
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: fans aren't because they're tiny markets that don't have a

337
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: huge national following.

338
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: At least in the National League.

339
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: In baseball, right now, your three first place teams in

340
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: the three divisions Dodgers, Cubs, Mets. That's the exact opposite

341
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: the biggest markets with the biggest national following in the country.

342
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: So there you go. Boy, the Mets not sucking maybe

343
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 2: one of the signs of the apocalypse. You think, I'm

344
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: beginning to take it seriously.

345
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: Yankees and Detroit Tigers also in the American League, So yeah,

346
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: baseball's got the opposite situation with the biggest, you know,

347
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: splashest franchises at the top. Of course, it's very, very early,

348
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: and that's enough of that by far. Uh. Tucker Carlson

349
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: and Steve Bannon talking to each other on each other's podcast,

350
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: and we got some of the highlights of that.

351
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: It's a heck of a good thought starter.

352
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get to that in an hour three of

353
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty Show. But as we all know,

354
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: many college graduates are walking across the stage to get

355
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: their diploma and shake hands and bad mouth Israel and

356
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: hate America and a variety of other things that college

357
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: graduates do.

358
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: Ah good times.

359
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: And this list comes out every single year. What are

360
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: the highest paying majors in the lowest paying majors out there?

361
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: Do you want highest first or lowest first?

362
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: Come on, Queer Studies, Come on, Queer Studies, We'll count

363
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 2: up your top five majors. Yeah, there you go. Let's

364
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 2: start with the winners jack.

365
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: Highest paying majors. Now, this has been the same for

366
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: many years in my lifetime. They're all engineers of one

367
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: sort of another. All of the top five chemical engineer,

368
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: computer engineer, nuclear engineer, naval architecture, and marine engineer.

369
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 2: And at the top PATROLLI.

370
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: Engineer that will make an average one hundred and eight

371
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: thousand dollars straight out of school with a four year degree.

372
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of engineer my son's math

373
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: tutor was, but he was an engineering student. Super nice,

374
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: super sharp guy. But the thing with this is it's

375
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: not like it's funny to la Times and their story

376
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: about this, their opening paragraph was about this kid who

377
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: he'd been trying to decide between art history or something else,

378
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: but decided on biology because he heard that medical fields

379
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: pay well. Halfway through the year, though, he got bored

380
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: with some of his chemistry classes and thought, I don't

381
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: know if I want to spend ten years learning to

382
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: be a doctor. These aren't the kind of majors you

383
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: don't choose between art history and being a doctor. That's

384
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: not based on which is going to pay more. You

385
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: either have the brain for being an engineer or you don't.

386
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: It's not just you know, I could do a whole

387
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: bunch of different things. Maybe I'll be an engineer. I could,

388
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: God bless you. Yeah, I mean yeah, but a lot

389
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: of people don't. So it's not it's not just that

390
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: easy of a decision to become an engineer.

391
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: It's also idea of me taking engineering classes at my

392
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 2: alma mater. Hilarious.

393
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: I could have, I think, but I'd have been bored

394
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: to death.

395
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: Is a problem.

396
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: I just I couldn't. I couldn't have done that the

397
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: rest of my life. I've always heard I don't know

398
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: if this is still true. They've been saying forever that

399
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: those a lot of those majors that start with really

400
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: high salaries, they don't go up that much from there.

401
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true or not. Where a

402
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: lot of your lower paying majors there's a lot more

403
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: room for growth. I don't have any idea if that's

404
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: true or not anymore. Here's your bottom five, keeping well

405
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: the number one bottom one. That's a little unfair, But

406
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: so you're bottom five paying majors on average, number five

407
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: fine arts, music, drama, well, it depends on whether you're

408
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: good at.

409
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 2: It or not.

410
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 1: If you're good added enough and pursue a strategy of

411
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: trying to make a living at it because you have

412
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: to want to do that, well, you have.

413
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: A one in a million chance of making a living. Sorry,

414
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: that's that's the good ones witch. Sure, Yeah, but okay,

415
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: number four, Well, you either don't care whether you want

416
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 2: to be an educator or you're betting on hitting a

417
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: home run.

418
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: Most of the people I've known who did this don't

419
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: seem to care. I think you probably eventually care when

420
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: you're like forty or or something, but at the time

421
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: don't seem to care.

422
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: And I don't know.

423
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: I've always kind of wondered what you what you're assuming

424
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: is going to happen, But you know whatever. Fourth lowest

425
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: paying major education, early childhood, elementary special ed.

426
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: That's surprising to me.

427
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because I live in California and that sort

428
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: of stuff faced pretty well. Social sciences, general anthropology, history, psychology. Mmmm,

429
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: that's tough. My youngest I keep pushing him toward wanting

430
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: to be like an anthropology sort of, but that's social sciences.

431
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: He's more into the science science end of it. Forty

432
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: dollars a year on average, depending on where you live.

433
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: But you know you live in California, they ain't gonna

434
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: be a lot. Leisure and hospitality is a major. What

435
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: do you study when you major? Major in leisure and hospitality?

436
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: Rules of volleyball, a lot of that.

437
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: How to set up a banquet buffet so that people

438
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: get filled up on the potatoes before they get the

439
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 2: like crab legs at the end.

440
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: Making sure there's a lot of critical that.

441
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 2: You got to scout out the buffet, folks. You gotta

442
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 2: start at the end, see what your prospects are.

443
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: Then you go to the beginning. Don't load up BBC.

444
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: Do not load up your plate with rolls. You can

445
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: get rolls anywhere, right, you're freaking shrimp down there.

446
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 2: They know what they're doing. Oh but yeah, to scam

447
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 2: these buffets hotel well, it kind of is, but it's smart. Yeah,

448
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 2: all sorts of hotel management. That didn't you know how

449
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: to set up a banquet hall. You get your U

450
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: shaped table, you got your year round table. It's many

451
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: different tables.

452
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: Do they teach you ask them for a driver's license

453
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: and a credit card?

454
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 2: Did they teach you that? Well, I'll tell you this.

455
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 2: I got out of college and I worked for a

456
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: company that did convention planning, among other things, just for

457
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: a couple of years. And trust me when I say

458
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: there's very little you couldn't learn on the job. I

459
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: don't know that you need to invest in it. It's

460
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: like people who go to like broadcast college, radio college. Yeah.

461
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 2: I don't want to disparage anybody, but I do get

462
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: the very basics down, then go get a job. Trust

463
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 2: me on that.

464
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: I wanted to be in radio, So I don't know

465
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: why I went to college. Oh, they had a really

466
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: really good radio program at the community college I went to,

467
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: and they had a high percentage of people that got

468
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: hired into jobs, and so I took radio there and

469
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 1: within a couple of months I got a job, and

470
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: by the end of the first year, I had full

471
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: time job. So I was working in the radio industry

472
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: while people were at other places taking radio classes. And

473
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: it always seemed to me, I'm in the industry. I'm nineteen,

474
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm making a living, I have health insurance. I mean,

475
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: I'm working. This is this is what you want to do.

476
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: Why are you over there? What are you learning? I

477
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: think they get sold on an idea.

478
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: I know.

479
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: I felt so bad. I've told this story before. The

480
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: circle K near me where.

481
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 2: I start, where's my phone talking place? Silence here devices

482
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: I pressed the wrong button.

483
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: The CIRCLECA near me, where I would stop regularly to

484
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: get I don't know water, Philip with gasser.

485
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 5: Uh.

486
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: There was a guy there that worked every night, and

487
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: I would go in there and I kind of kind

488
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: of became to where like we'd chat a little bit

489
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: like that.

490
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 2: At some point he told me he.

491
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: Had a master's in radio from the University of San Francisco.

492
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 2: Is that a thing, I guess, do you know, Katie?

493
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: I mean masters and like broadcasting or something like that.

494
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's what he wanted to do. He wanted

495
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: to work in radio, and he got a master's degree.

496
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: He went again and got the four year degree, and

497
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: then and then stick around and got the masters. I

498
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: did not tell him what I did for a living,

499
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: because I thought that would just be a cool thing

500
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: to do.

501
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: Wow, do.

502
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: Dude, that's not the way somebody. It would be like

503
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: getting a master's degree. And I want to be a

504
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: blues guitar player, to me get in a band and

505
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: see how good you are and get better and try,

506
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: but getting a practice a lot, yeah, and getting an

507
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: advanced degree in this. I don't know what.

508
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're it's a scam, it is,

509
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 2: you know, I am selling a dream. It's just it's

510
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: the wrong route.

511
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: I had a buddy who was who taught radio classes,

512
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: who finally had to quit because as the industry changed,

513
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: it got like, way way way harder to get a job,

514
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: Like when when Joe and I got and you could

515
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: go get jobs because there were thousands of radio stations

516
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: across the country.

517
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: But that's not true anymore anyway. My buddy quit. Well

518
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: they're not They exist as signals, but they're not functioning

519
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 2: radio station.

520
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: No, they don't have you know, all the employees and

521
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: everything like that they used to. Thanks to the Telecommunications

522
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: Act of nineteen ninety six by Booklan, which they claimed

523
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: was going to make radio better for listeners across the country,

524
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: it has made it vastly worse.

525
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: I do agree. I think the current state is the

526
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 2: best ever.

527
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: And I wish I could talk to Congress about that,

528
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: but it's too late. My buddy quit. He couldn't handle

529
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: it because he felt like he was lying to people.

530
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: He was selling a scam like you were talking about,

531
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: is having these you know, these kids come here and

532
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: somebody who's paying for it, their parents or whoever, take

533
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: these classes to go out and get involved in an

534
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: industry that doesn't exist anymore. He just couldn't do it

535
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: with a clean conscience. Right, So I've always wondered that

536
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: about some of these majors. Do they tell fine arts, music, drama?

537
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Do they tell their graduates or the people in the class, Look,

538
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: you got like a one in a million chance. I'm

539
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: fine with you doing this, trying to discourage you, but

540
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: you got like a one in a million chance of

541
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: making a living.

542
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 2: Did they tell you that?

543
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: I don't know.

544
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: Ask my son who has a useless degree, what they

545
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: told him. That's what he wanted to do. I said,

546
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: go live your life leisure in hospitality.

547
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: Do they tell you, Look, you're gonna you're gonna be

548
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: h telling people where the elevators are down the hall,

549
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: and it ain't gonna pay much and it ain't gonna

550
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: get much better.

551
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 2: The last class you take is just watching the white lotus. Yeah,

552
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: just all right, Look, you're gonna be a balance and

553
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: scraping to a bunch of drunk obnoxious tourists develop a

554
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: taste for pills because you're gonna be throwing down your throat.

555
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: You're gonna be popping them like paths. All right, just

556
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: get used to it.

557
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: Second to lowest paying major that's out there performing arts.

558
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how that differs from fine arts, music

559
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: and drama. I have no idea how they make a

560
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: distinction there and the least paying major there is which

561
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: I could major in this, I would find it fascinating.

562
00:28:54,400 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: I still may do this in my life. Theology and religion, Ah.

563
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: The Bible.

564
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: That one's a little bit among other things, sir, Yes,

565
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: that one's a little different. That's a that's a vocation,

566
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: that's a life pursuit of a certain kind of knowledge

567
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: and whatever. I don't think you get into that thinking

568
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: this is my ticket to driving.

569
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: A Porsche, right, not unless you're you know, some sort

570
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: of a phony mega church fundraising the TV preacher something

571
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, gotta believe there's an extra warm room

572
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: in hell for people like that. No offense to people

573
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 2: who are into that.

574
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy Swaggert's about to die any moment now. I don't

575
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: know if you saw that one of the biggest televangelists

576
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: of the last Well ever, he I didn't know he

577
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: was still alive. But he's gonna die soon, and there

578
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: will probably be the conversation around that whole televangelist thing.

579
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're going strong today. They just have a

580
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: different act. The act is much more suburban. It's okay

581
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 2: to want to get rich. Let's all get together and

582
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: sing lame pop songs that mention Jesus a couple of times. Sorry,

583
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: I'm a little hostile to the whole mega church modern thing,

584
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: but teach there on me. Who am I do I

585
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: have a pipeline to God? Well? I kind of believe

586
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: I do, just like you?

587
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: But uh, okay, as much or as little you have,

588
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: as much or as little, Yes, Mike.

589
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: Right, exactly, you judge me as harshly as you want. Friends.

590
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: Finally, completely useless statistic. Would you like that?

591
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: Oh? Super?

592
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: It would take a long time to break down how

593
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: useless the statistic is? The average starting salary for a

594
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: college graduate this year will be about sixty eight thousand

595
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: dollars a year. What a useless statistic, so averaged among

596
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: all the majors, which doesn't make any difference to you

597
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: because you only care about your major right, and it

598
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: varies completely whether you're taking the job in the Miami, Florida,

599
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: New York City, Omaha, Nebraska, some tiny town, Idaho, or whever.

600
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: So that is a useless statistic. It's amazing anybody would

601
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: even ask the question, figure it out and then print

602
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: it anywhere, because it has no value to you.

603
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 2: Whatsoever on any level, croup, any level.

604
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: Yes, that is the correct answer if you had any

605
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: comments on any of those things. Our text line four one,

606
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: five two nine five KFTC bar Strong and.

607
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 5: Getty, the most visited museum in the world failing to

608
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 5: open due to a spontaneous strike by the Louver staff,

609
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 5: warning that the home of the Mona Lisa is buckling

610
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 5: under the weight of mass tourism. It comes just a

611
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 5: day after coordinated anti tourist protests swept across a dozen

612
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 5: European cities. As tourists in Barcelona sat down to enjoy

613
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 5: tapas or a cold beer on Sunday, they were instead

614
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 5: hit with water guns to cool down runaway tourism. Campaigners

615
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 5: argue mass tourism, and specifically the touristification of hotspots, forces

616
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 5: locals out of the city center and raises the cost

617
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 5: of living.

618
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: OOO was hitting people with water guns to try to

619
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: discourage the tourists. The city was doing the protesters. Where

620
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: does the protest you get a water gun?

621
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: I wish we had more time to talk about this

622
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 2: because it's an interesting phenomenon. It's yet another ruinous impact

623
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 2: of the Internet. But yeah, like Venice is, I can't

624
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 2: remember the figure, only like fifteen percent of dwellings now

625
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: in Venice are people who live there. They've all been

626
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: sold for airbnps and tourists. And you're like, going to

627
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 2: it's like going to Disneyland. It wouldn't exist if not

628
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: for the only thing around you is tourists, right, Yes, Katie.

629
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: It's funny just the video of this. All the locals

630
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: have these super soaker squirt guns and then you see

631
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: all these tourists dorks with their floppy hats sitting there

632
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: at the cafes and they're just walking by just spraying them.

633
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 2: That's it.

634
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, different strokes for different folks. But I

635
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: was watching a lot of the videos of this various

636
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: places that doesn't look enjoyable to me on any level.

637
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: On any level, I certain wouldn't certainly wouldn't pay thousands

638
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: of dollars for the experience, but.

639
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: You're like hyper crowded tourist locations. Yeah, and to be surrounded.

640
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: I well, you know the disneylandification of various places.

641
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: So what am I experiencing here?

642
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: You could almost literally go to Disneyland, or you know,

643
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: walking around the Venetian in Vegas is as much Venice

644
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: as Venice.

645
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: Or you go to the balcony that overlooks those colorful

646
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 2: buildings on the Greek Isles that you've seen in a

647
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 2: dozen ads, and the line to take your Instagram shop

648
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: there is an hour and a half long. Right, It's

649
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 2: too bad.

650
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: It sucks, and maybe if you can go an off

651
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: season it would be better. But man, I was looking

652
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: at the video up there at Paris. I thought, I've

653
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: always wanted to go to I've never been to Friends

654
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: and never been in Paris, but not that whatever that

655
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: was I just saw on TV. That looks horrible.

656
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it looks like a punishment. Yeah. Another economic topic,

657
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 2: some of the biggest merchants in America, like Walmart and

658
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: Amazon dot Com are exploring how to issue or use

659
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: stable coin. You know what stable coins are. They're like bitcoins,

660
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: They're like cryptocurrency, except they're tied to the value of

661
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 2: the dollar or other government you know, treasury bonds or

662
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 2: something like that, so they don't have like wildly fluctuating values.

663
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: It's like having a dollar in your pocket. It's just

664
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: a means of electronic purchasing and transferring of money. And

665
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 2: the significance of that is for these super giant businesses

666
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 2: it would save credit card fees and they would become

667
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 2: their own credit card company, and you could zap money

668
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 2: back and forth and make purchases effortlessly, so it could

669
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 2: really really shake up the world of big banks and

670
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 2: credit and that sort of thing. If you're in that business,

671
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: you probably know more about it than I do. But

672
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 2: moving along, I found this really interesting. Do we have

673
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 2: time for this? I don't think we do. We do not.

674
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 2: Thirty seconds. That is not enough time to do almost

675
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: anything I.

676
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: Can today, isn't it? Jim sure is hot? Tucker Carlson said, war.

677
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 2: With THEO do that in thirty seconds? Yes?

678
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson said, war with Iran would collapse the American Empire.

679
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: Steve Bannon agreed. Donald Trump responded and even gave Tucker

680
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: a nickname because Trump knows that a certain section of

681
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: MAGA is pretty into the whole Tucker Carlson thing.

682
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 2: And don't leave out Candice Owen's hating on the Jews.

683
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: Come on, we'll get to that in our three Armstrong

684
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: and Geddy
