1 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jetty and no he Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 3: As a fragilecy spire holds President Trump renewing his threats 5 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 3: to Iran, saying the clock is ticking. In a social 6 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 3: media post, Trump saying quote, they better get moving fast 7 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 3: or there won't be anything left of them. 8 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: What kind of journalist does that? 9 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: He didn't shout the all caps parts that sounded like 10 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: AI journalism? To me was that it really sounded like AI. 11 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 2: I think it was. I think that would he accused 12 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: that dude of being AI before. 13 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: Sorry, there's some woman. Every time we have her on 14 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: our air, we say, we say, that's AI. Clearly quit 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: blaming me for being AI. You're hurting my kids feeling. Hey, Donald, 16 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: you can't threaten like that over and over and over 17 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: and over again. 18 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: You just can't. 19 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: Unless he just thinks he's speaking the language of the 20 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: Middle East, because that's the way they all talk in 21 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: the Middle East too, rivers of blood and armageddon, of 22 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: all battles. 23 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: And blah blah blah. 24 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 4: I can I can forgive the second one of those 25 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 4: without carrying it out. 26 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: But this is at least the third vicaion. Oh, this 27 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: is like five or six right times. I'm gonna, I'm gonna. 28 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: What is the one he said last week? Maybe it 29 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: was when you're go, We're gone. There'll just be a 30 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: glowing hole there. 31 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 2: He said. 32 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: I was there for the glowing hole. Oh gosh, that 33 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: was Those were good times. So wipe them off the 34 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: face of the earth. Glowing hole. This removed their entire civilization. 35 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 36 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: So we'll catch up on where things are. But let's 37 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: turn first to tree yinst of Fox. 38 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 5: Reports indicate the Iranians have submitted it a revised proposal 39 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 5: to Pakistani mediators aimed at addressing some of the gaps 40 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 5: in their previous response, the President Trump described as a 41 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 5: piece of garbage. 42 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 6: Therefore, from the very day after we sent our points 43 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 6: to the American side via Pakistan, we were faced with 44 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 6: a series of proposals from the other side, which have 45 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 6: been reviewed over the past few days. As was announced yesterday, 46 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 6: our own views have in turn been conveyed to the 47 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 6: American side. 48 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: That's a pretty charitable way to put it. Filling in 49 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: the gaps from their proposal in which they demanded reparations 50 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: for all the attacks on their country. They get to 51 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: continue to control the straight of horror moves forever, and 52 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: they get to continue getting a nuclear weapon. I would say, 53 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: those are gaps. 54 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: That's a gap. It's a big gap. Oh my god, 55 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: that is hilarious. 56 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: And then you got the pakistanis involved still in the 57 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: peace negotiations, when we found out last week that they're 58 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: allowing RAND to park some of their best planes there 59 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: during the attack so that they wouldn't get destroyed. Thanks Pakistan, 60 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: a little more on where things stand before start reading 61 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: you stuff. 62 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 5: Well, diplomatic efforts play out. The economic situation in Iran 63 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 5: is getting worse each day due to the ongoing US 64 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 5: blockade of Iranian ports. Sentcom says more than eighty commercial 65 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 5: vessels have been redirected and four were disabled to enforce 66 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 5: the blockade. A senior Israeli official told Fox News that 67 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 5: early signs are developing of a fuel crisis in Iran, 68 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 5: with long lines at gas stations being observed. 69 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: It's getting exponentially worse. 70 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: The official added, yeah, and so it's the race. So 71 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: who's got more pressure on them? Trump and American consumers 72 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: or the Ranan Again, you can't say the Ranian people 73 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: because they don't give a crap about the pressure on 74 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: the Ranian people on the Ranian government. So here's Mark 75 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: Alprin's writing from today, as a guy who has lots 76 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: of sources and takes in all the information. The mood 77 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: music is certainly building up towards a massive US Israeli 78 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: u A strike. 79 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: Against Iran this week. 80 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: Okay, this is massive this week, and the UAA flying 81 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: alongside Israel in the United States, egged on by the 82 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: Lindsay Grahams and others of the administration. There are i 83 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: would say, egged on by the realities. But yeah, Lindsay's 84 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: on this. 85 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're about to get to that. 86 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: Their argument, echoing Ari Fleischer from last week, former press 87 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: spokesman for Bush, is simple, Iran's absurd negotiating stance, and 88 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: it was absurd, has proven that they will never give 89 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: up their nuclear program or open the strait, that they're 90 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: just stalling for time, and that an overwhelming force to 91 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: produce the regime change and a crippling of the nation 92 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: is the only solution at this point. This point of 93 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: view might be correct, but it minimizes concerns over the 94 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: prospects of Iranian counter strikes, of which Tehran must be 95 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: presumed still be capable of. 96 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 2: Don't forget. 97 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: During the ceasefire, Iran has had so much time to 98 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: rebuild and reload. And then we don't know if it's 99 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: true or not that New York Times report last week 100 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: week where they still have seventy percent of their missiles 101 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: and launchers and all that sort of stuff, if that 102 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: turns out to be true. Anyway, back to Halpern's writing, 103 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: trying to reopen the strait is arguably a less dangerous 104 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: step than full on breaking the ceasefire, but its twin problems. 105 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: It isn't easy to do without substantial risks, and it's 106 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: unlikely to get a rand to the negotiating table in 107 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: a real way. It is clear now that Donald Trump 108 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: can't rely on the cooperation of the Chinese, the charity 109 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: of Putin, the honest brokering of the pakistanis, the force 110 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: of the Israelis negotiating stills of Kushkov, or the sanity 111 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: of the Iranians. The President of the United States at 112 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: this point can only rely on himself, which is fitting 113 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: since he decided to start this epic project. So it's 114 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: down to Trump's decision on his own. Does he want 115 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: to use American mite to try to get what he wants? 116 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 1: I think that is where we've been for weeks. 117 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 4: Actually, my follow up question to Mark might be describe 118 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 4: opening up the strait without really violating the ceasefire. 119 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: What the hell would that look like? 120 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 1: I mean, if you have that key on your keychain, 121 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: please lend it to me. That's a tough nut to crack, right, 122 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: if we tried to open the straight and we could lose, 123 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: we could easily lose fifty guys doing that. Oh yeah, 124 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: how would America react to that? One day, were the 125 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: headline splash thirty Marines killed in amphibious assault. 126 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 4: So I read a piece by what's this guy's first name, 127 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 4: Seth Cropsey. He was a Creer naval officer, Deputy Undersecretary 128 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 4: of the Navy, the author of a couple of books 129 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 4: about naval warfareries. 130 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: Now the president of the Yorktown Institute. 131 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 4: But he described kind of lead up to what's going 132 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 4: on in that when the President called the cease fire 133 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 4: and then it was all going to hell. He had 134 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 4: two options, escalation or capitulation. He chose neither. Instead, he 135 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 4: sought a middle ground by blockading Iran's oil capacity. But 136 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 4: now we're back to the same choice a month later, 137 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 4: only now with less favorable macro economics. And then he 138 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 4: talked about how he's very, you know, skeptical about peace talks, 139 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 4: and he says that this time he needs to be 140 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 4: willing to follow through on the threat of catastrophic force. 141 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 4: That means preparing for a multi stage operation including boots 142 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 4: on the ground that forcibly reopens the strait of hormones 143 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 4: to accelerate the collapse of the Iranian state. 144 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: How about you think, So if that happens and we 145 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: lose guys, which we will, how do you think the 146 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: country's going to react to that. We've already got the 147 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: pulling out today New York Times Sheena poll only thirty 148 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: percent of Americans. I think it was a good idea 149 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: to go into Iran. Then you have a bunch of 150 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: marines die right. Here's the answer to that question is 151 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: kind of a two parter. I can cite so many 152 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: examples through history, whether civilian leaders or military leaders, who 153 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: delivered the brilliant message about there's going to be great sacrifice. 154 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: And here's why it's it, and people listen to that 155 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: and their hearts and minds removed and they realized. And 156 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: this goes down to the unit level in the military, 157 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: people realized, Okay, this is bigger than me. It's important, 158 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: it matters. There's going to be pain, there's going to 159 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: be blood, but we have to do this. 160 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 4: So the answer to the question, you know, how the 161 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 4: country reacts if we lose x number of guys depends 162 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 4: on the messaging and how persuasive it is and how 163 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 4: righteous the message is. 164 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 2: Man, you might be right. 165 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: My concern is that the average person doesn't believe Iran 166 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: getting a nuclear weapons a big deal. Who cares that 167 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: no amount of persuasion would or clever poetic rhetoric would 168 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: make any difference. I just don't care. 169 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 4: Uh yeah, well, that is practically an insurmountable problem. And 170 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 4: it's a good point though. It's a really good point. 171 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 4: If you make the most eloquent case ever made for 172 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 4: why this is important, and the person says, no, it's 173 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 4: not and then goes back to their TikTok videos. 174 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: What if you want a particularly damning view of the 175 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: average American, I'm gonna watch my TikTok videos. 176 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: I gotta watch my stupid TikTok video.

I didn't realize that was a thing, the 368 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: troubled teen industry. Do you know about that industry? It's 369 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: an industry. I intrigued. 370 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I am too. 371 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: But before I get to that, I was about to say, 372 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: speaking of troubled teens, but I'm. 373 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 2: Not going to nail down what I'm talking about here 374 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 2: does make any difference. This was just a. 375 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: Situation with another human being that I was using a 376 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: chat bot for suggestions on how to handle using a 377 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: chat bot like a therapist, which factors into this. And 378 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: so I was going around and around on a certain 379 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: couple of things and decisions or whatever with. 380 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 2: Claude, who I've. 381 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: Said this before in case you haven't never heard it. 382 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: I have spent between for me, marriages, kids, all kinds 383 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: of different stuff, way large amounts of money and time 384 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: on therapists, and I think ninety percent of it is 385 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: a waste of money. 386 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 2: I really do. 387 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: I've had a long enough track pride are going to 388 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: trying it out that I do. I'm not afraid of 389 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: being accused of, you know, being the sort of person 390 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: who doesn't believe in therapy. 391 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: I've done it. 392 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: Most of it's a freaking waste of time. Some of 393 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: it is life changingly good. That's the problem is that 394 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: there is a percentage of it out there that's really 395 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: really good, but finding that is not easy. And by 396 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: the way, I know many therapists who would say exactly 397 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: the same thing, yeah, because they know other therapists AnyWho 398 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: using Claude as a therapist. After going around and around 399 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: on a certain thing, I said, at one point I said. 400 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 2: To Claude, I said, I have a. 401 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: Feeling that if you were a person, they would have 402 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: said to me at this point, look, I can't talk 403 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: about this anymore. 404 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 2: Huh. That's funny, it is because it's true. 405 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, even with your close friends, family, members whatever. 406 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: At some point, whatever they're talking about, you think, look, 407 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: you just got to move on, or we can't keep 408 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: talking about this or whatever, the same conversation over and over, 409 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: especially if it's the same conversation over and over. Right, 410 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: And this is what Claude said back, and I thought 411 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: this was really interesting. 412 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 2: Huh yeah. 413 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: Probably a friend would have said three weeks ago, we 414 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: have got to talk about something else. A therapist would 415 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: be charging you and gently redirecting. I'll just keep going 416 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: as long as you want to, which is part of 417 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: the problem, part of why you noticed it. That's a 418 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: real thing. Here's the really interesting part from a chatbot. 419 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: That's a real thing to be aware of. With these tools, 420 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: I don't get tired of you. I don't have my 421 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: own evening to get to. That's useful sometimes, and it's 422 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: also exactly the kind of frictionalist availability that can become 423 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: another version of the infrastructure you just described of going 424 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: on and on and on about this because I never 425 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: get tired of it.

And I don't 433 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,959 Speaker 1: know if it's three percent or thirty percent or whatever. 434 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: But Claude pointing that out is I'm always there, I'm 435 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: always responsive.

Obviously the opportunity. 507 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: For abuse exists. 508 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: But I don't know. Do your research and hire a 509 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: good company, I guess would be my answer. 510 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think I'm just a quiverling wordsmith When 511 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 4: I say that the term illegal kidnapping is that's a 512 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 4: terrible term. 513 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 2: It's right, It doesn't describe the what's happening there? No, No, 514 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 2: it doesn't at all. 515 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 4: It is a transport without prior notice period. 516 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,239 Speaker 2: I'm the adult. I make the decisions. I know that 517 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 2: doesn't go. 518 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: In California, behavioral modification facilities frequently rely on tough love methodologies, 519 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: stripping teams of teams of basic privileges, forcing them into 520 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: intense physical labor or isolation. Also used correctly, sounds fantastic, 521 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: Probably exactly what those kids need. Like the way they 522 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: put tough love in quotes, because it's supposed to sound scary. 523 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: Lack of oversight. Unlike juvenile detention centers or state hospitals, 524 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: many of these private programs operate with little or no 525 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: federal oversight. Well, that's why I would get some reviews 526 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: and be careful about who you choose. 527 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 2: Targeting vulnerable groups. 528 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 1: The industry disproportionately targets adoptees, who account for twenty five 529 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: to forty percent of residential care youth, and heavily relies 530 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: on controversial diagnosis. 531 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: Is like reactive attachment disorder. I don't know what that is. 532 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, wait a minute, I don't like the way this 533 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 4: entire thing is written. I mean, I don't need to 534 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 4: be prejudicial or prejudicial in favor of these facilities. But 535 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 4: this is just wildly prejudicial against them. Targets adoptees, right, right, 536 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 4: what right does that mean? 537 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 2: Right? 538 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 1: Or do adoptees for whatever reasons of just you know 539 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: the reality of the way that. 540 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 4: Goes well, right, I've known some adoptive kids that have 541 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 4: had terrible, terrible emotional struggles in life. 542 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: Well, we've known some parents that adopted some kids that 543 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: it turned into a nightmare situation, whether it was because 544 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: of fetal alcohol syndrome or drug use of the mom, 545 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: blah blah blah, all. 546 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 2: Kinds of different things. Bring. 547 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a tough one. I don't like this when 548 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: trauma and abuse reports consistently document systemic abuse sleep deprivation. 549 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 1: So I'll let you sleep all day to make you 550 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: get up early. In some cases, I'll bet that's what 551 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: that is. You're getting up at six o'clock in the 552 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 1: morning and washing dishes at the breakfast instead of a 553 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: lane in bed till noon. 554 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 2: Uh. 555 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: Again, So it's all in the eye the beholder and 556 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: whether or not they're doing I didn't know that was 557 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: a thing though. The troubled teen industry, it is a 558 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: multi billion dollar industry. There are programs like this all 559 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: over the country. Again, my personal experience, I know, I 560 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: can think off the top of my head four different 561 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: instances of parents who say it was absolutely fantastic for 562 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: their troubled dean when you send them to a wildernness 563 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: camp or something. 564 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 4: And if somebody's abusive, you got to bust them and 565 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 4: put them out of business obviously. 566 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, a word from our friends at rough Greens. 567 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 4: The day you brought your pup home, you made a 568 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 4: silent promise to take care of them, to protect them, 569 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 4: give them the best life possible.

Look at us, the momentum carrying you forward. 608 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: That is coming up next. 609 00:30:48,520 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Ghetty turning good morning into good God. We 610 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 2: were complaining appropriately. 611 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: I think that Haunt of virus was the number one 612 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: story in the country for like two weeks for no 613 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: good reason. And now that that's over, they're building up 614 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: po Bola came across this old George Carlin bit. 615 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,239 Speaker 2: He was a comedian from way back in the day, 616 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 2: don't you know, Because. 617 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 8: That's what Americans do now. They're always willing to trade 618 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 8: away a little of their freedom in exchange for the 619 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 8: feeling the illusion of security. What we have now is 620 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 8: a completely neurotic population obsessed with security and safety and 621 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 8: crime and germs. That's another thing, germs. Where did the 622 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 8: sudden fear of germs come from in this country? 623 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 2: How do you notice this? 624 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 8: The media constantly running stories about all the latest infections Salmonella, 625 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 8: E coli, Hanka virus, bird flew and Americans are they 626 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 8: panic easily. So now everybody's running around scrubbing this, and 627 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 8: spraying that, and overcooking their food and re heatedly washing 628 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 8: their hands, trying to avoid all contact with germs. It's ridiculous, 629 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 8: and it goes to ridiculous links. In prisons, before they 630 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 8: give you a lethal injection, they swab your arm with alcohol. 631 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 2: That's true. That's true. You know one interesting thing about that. 632 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: I think about George Carlin, the comedian who's been dead 633 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,479 Speaker 1: for a long time. But he was like you know, 634 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: he was the hippiest of hippies, and it would have 635 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: been considered a progressive. I would think he'd be he'd 636 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: be more like Bill Maher. Now I really have to 637 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: think so, oh yeah, I can't guarantee the speech police 638 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: and all that different sort of stuff. 639 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 2: Oh No. 640 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 4: He was militant against dishonesty, for one thing, and so 641 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 4: much of that stuff is dishonest. So we were talking 642 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 4: about the troubled teen industry and an anonymous sources we have, Yes, 643 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 4: we have an acquaintance who sent their kid to one 644 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 4: of those camps. 645 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 2: So expensive. Some of them are just in like sending 646 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 2: your kid to Harvard expensive. Oh I was going to 647 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 2: get there. 648 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 6: Yeah. 649 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 4: Indeed, first of all, they when you're snatched they call 650 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 4: it being gooned because a couple of big goons throws 651 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 4: you in a van. 652 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got gooned. Did you get gooned or did 653 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 2: you come willingly? I got gooned? 654 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, apparently, And yes, I'm looking at a figure of 655 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 4: six figures. 656 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: And it doesn't always bear the great results you were describing. 657 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 2: Obviously, nothing's one hundred percent in life. 658 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 4: But I think you know folks who are in that situation, 659 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 4: the vast majority of them, you would do whatever it 660 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 4: took to save the life of your child. And if 661 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 4: they're heading down a very very bad road, that's what 662 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 4: a lot of folks think they're doing. 663 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I know, trying to do I know. 664 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: A fair amount of the pushback would be, well, they're 665 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: just doing this sort of disciplinary having rules thing that 666 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: you haven't been doing all these years, and that's why 667 00:33:58,840 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: you got. 668 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 2: A GID that's out of control. That's the pushback from 669 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 2: a lot of people. Hmmm. 670 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: In some cases, right, I don't know if you judged, 671 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've had kids, but they're all different. 672 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, and some of them are a hell 673 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 4: of a lot of trouble. 674 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 2: Well, the troubled teen industry.
