1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, Armstrong and 3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 1: Gatty and he Armstrong and Getty. 4 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: Any of you in the media clearly missed the art 5 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 2: of the deal. You clearly failed to see what President 6 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 2: Trump is doing here. You tried to say that the 7 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: rest of the world would be moved closer to China, 8 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 2: and in fact we've seen the opposite effect. 9 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: That's the White House press spokesman explaining yesterday why Trump 10 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: that was the plan all along. It was the art 11 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: of the deal, the pullback on the tariffs away he did. 12 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: And then but Trump shortly thereafter talking to a reporter 13 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: to markets that persuaded you to reverse. I was watching 14 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: the bottom market that the bond market is very tricky. 15 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: I was watching it. But if you look at it now, 16 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: it's beautiful. The bond market right now is beautiful. But yeah, 17 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: I saw last night where people were getting a little queasy. 18 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: I think everything had. 19 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 3: Well. 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: The big move wasn't what I did today. The big 21 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: move was what I did on Liberation Day. We had 22 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: Liberation Day in America. We liberated from all of the 23 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: horrible deals that were made, all of the horrible trade 24 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: deals that were made. So he basically came out and said, 25 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: I was watching the financial returns and people were getting scared. 26 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: So and the reporting is that the Secretary of the 27 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: Treasury was sitting there with him saying, dude, dude, just 28 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: getting too bad. And that's when Trump put out the 29 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: truth social yesterday, right right after we got off the air. 30 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: Thanks for the timing, mister Trump. Couldn't you have done 31 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: it a half hour earlier. It have been so exciting 32 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: to talk about in real time, as the stock market 33 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: skyrocketed immediately as soon as he said ninety day pause 34 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: on the tariffs, freaked out by the bond market. Jack 35 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: all about the bond market. No, I was not was 36 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: the art of a Neil? Was the plan all along? Oh? 37 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 4: Sorry, I stand corrected. So Scott Besant came out and 38 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 4: further explained the White House's policies. Why don't we just 39 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 4: start with number fifty, Michael, as. 40 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: I told everyone a week ago there in this very spot, 41 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: do not retaliate and you will be rewarded. So every 42 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: country in the world who wants to come and negotiate, 43 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: we are willing to hear you we're going to go 44 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 3: down to a ten percent baseline tariff for them, and 45 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 3: China will be raised to one five due to their 46 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 3: insistence on escalation. 47 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: Is Secretary think so? 48 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 4: And then the market skyrocketed and then they plunged. As 49 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 4: we speak on Thursday, they are down around five percent, 50 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 4: depending on which one you're looking at. 51 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: It's a huge drop. Wow, I see the Dow is 52 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: down trade war with China sixteen hundred as everybody. Yeah, 53 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: because the whole China thing, that's a big deal. What 54 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: is it, one hundred and twenty five percent tariff on China? 55 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: Now all those Chinese firts coming in. Whatever it is, 56 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five, three hundred percent, I don't know. 57 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: As we learned yesterday, it can all change pretty quickly. 58 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: It's funny in a way to have heard for ages, 59 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: if you're paying any attention, that we've got to couple 60 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: with China. 61 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 4: They've been exploiting us. They've been erecting barriers to our goods. 62 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 4: They've been stealing our intellectual property. They've been cheating in 63 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 4: a hundred different ways. They've been flooding the world with 64 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 4: cheap crap and predatory you know, exploiting of markets to 65 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: put their competition out of business. Blah blah blah. We've 66 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 4: got to decouple. And now that the decoupling is maybe beginning, 67 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 4: it's like. 68 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: What are we doing? Why is this? What a And 69 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: I'm not. 70 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 4: Saying it's good or it's going to be easy, but uh, 71 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 4: here we go, right, how does this play out? 72 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: Well? My characterization that I mean, because it looks to 73 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: me like from the reporting that Trump got some reactions 74 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: in the stock market that were beyond what he thought 75 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: would happen and he had to pull the plug on 76 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: this earlier than he thought. Or are you going with 77 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: the this was the plan all along? 78 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 4: No, I'm going with the bond market specifically, which is 79 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 4: different from the stock markets the markets in general. But yeah, 80 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 4: because the numbers in the bond market suggested people were 81 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 4: really taking a dim view of the United States economy 82 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 4: and debt in the long term. 83 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: But he was, and that's no good. But he wasn't 84 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: planning twenty four hours earlier to do that. 85 00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 4: No, as bessn said, Uh where does he say that 86 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 4: that they were talking about it on Sunday? 87 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: Anyway? 88 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 4: I can't find it, and it doesn't really matter. But 89 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 4: now they you know, Actually, I think this is a 90 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 4: really good account by Annie Lensky and a couple others 91 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 4: in the Wall Street Journal. 92 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: It was a classic Trump. 93 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 4: He took a drastic action, closely tracked the reaction, kept 94 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 4: advisors and allies guessing, and then changed course. 95 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: You're judged by the results, and we were. 96 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 4: Getting screwed by China, but it was such crack the 97 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 4: Chinese market, and they're cheap manufacturing. We just didn't want 98 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: to get off the crack, even though we knew it 99 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 4: was horrible. 100 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: And now maybe we're starting. 101 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: Well. 102 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: I have no problem with the result we've gotten. I 103 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: think it's kind of hilarious that the people that were, 104 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: you know, Trump hating crowd how how you know? Dogmatic 105 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 1: he is, and he's an idea law and he won't 106 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: bend and he refuses to face reality and he's crazy. 107 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: And and then when the bond market does whatever he 108 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: doesn't like and he changes course, then he's criticized for 109 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: going back on his what he had said before. Well, 110 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: which do you want? M You know, I don't know 111 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: if we have the clip yesterday where he was talking 112 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: about sometimes you gotta go, you know, you want to 113 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: be on the other side of that wall. You try 114 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: to go through the wall. You try to go through 115 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: the wall, it won't work, so you gotta try to. 116 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: Then you decide, well, maybe I got to go over 117 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: it or around it or under it, but I got 118 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: you know, got to you gotta change your plan. But 119 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: that's things. That's what he said yesterday for his you know, 120 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: dropping the tariffs. But it's a very sort of thing. 121 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: He was being criticized for that. He wouldn't do that 122 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: sort of thing, you know, an hour earlier. 123 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sorry that the quote I was looking for 124 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 4: is actually in print. Beson To explained the move to 125 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 4: pause some of the tariffs was discussed Sunday when the 126 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 4: two men met. He and I had a long talk. 127 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 4: This was his strategy all along. Now I can believe 128 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 4: that Trump said, yeah, I threw all that permanent trade 129 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 4: barriers talk out there because I wanted people to come 130 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 4: to the table in a serious way and we got 131 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 4: to restructure our international trade. 132 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: I can believe that was his plan all long. 133 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 4: I don't I don't necessarily think that technique is great 134 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: as the leader of the free world, but you know, 135 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 4: that's everybody can have their own opinion. 136 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: On it. 137 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: It would be technically true to say if you're playing 138 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: all along is if the bond market does this, I'll 139 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: have to end it. Yeah that he could have said 140 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: that out loud behind closed doors long time. Sure as possible. 141 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 4: About a little let's let's hear a little more Scott 142 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 4: Bess into fifty one. 143 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 3: Michael, your ponies fine bargle to China tradeing marble. Well, 144 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: I'm not sure what you mean by the word in 145 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 3: bargo one. 146 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: Isn't any always eighty four percent? 147 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 5: Is any? 148 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: Barber? Well, it's it's good. 149 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 3: It's China's decision that we have the deficit with them. 150 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 3: They sell us almost five times what we sell them. 151 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 3: So again, I think it's an. 152 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: Own goal by China, and he expands on that thought 153 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: in the next clip. But what I am certain of. 154 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 3: What I'm certain of is that what China is doing 155 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: will affect their economy much more than a will ours, 156 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 3: because they have an export driven flood the world with 157 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: cheap export models. And the rest of the world now 158 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 3: understands because when we put our barterre fall, those exports 159 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 3: are already flowing to the rest of the G seven 160 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 3: and to the global South. 161 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: Well, you know, you like March Madness or the NBA 162 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: playoffs are starting. You want to see two giant titans 163 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: going at it. The biggest economy in the world and 164 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: the second biggest economy in the world are now officially 165 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: in a trade war. That's pretty exciting. 166 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know both know's going to try out 167 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 4: in neither side is the sort of guy or in 168 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 4: the sort of situation where backing down is going to 169 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 4: be very easy. 170 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: I don't think Trump should back down. How it's thinness, 171 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: you know, there are a thousand opinions on that. 172 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 4: How do we decouple with China? How quickly? Where do 173 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 4: we start? How do we deal with the pain of it? 174 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 4: I mean, that's super crazy complex. But the fact that 175 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 4: it's happened, it has to happen. 176 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: He could end up taking the Trump could end up 177 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: taking the blame for something that was inevitable anyway that 178 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: was going to happen more in drips and drabs, I mean, 179 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: because the the the rupture had to happen at some 180 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: point between US and China. It just it can't continue. 181 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're your biggest business partner, Well, one of the 182 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 4: biggest is a evil regime bent on world domination. 183 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: That's right. That's not very convenient building up their military 184 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: every single day to try to take us over. Yeah, 185 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: I was gonna say that I put it too neutrally. No, 186 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: they're bent on crushing us as an economy, as a 187 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: political system, and a species. If they can. We want 188 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: to stamp out the American ideal as fast as they should, 189 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: they would actually ensla They would have no problem with that. 190 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 4: I understand because the racist too, that's often left out 191 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 4: of the discussion. 192 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: You're right, I don't understand why more people don't understand this. 193 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: It's it's it's it is a very very big deal. 194 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 4: It's like because because so many people were making so 195 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 4: much money, nobody had any interest in explaining it. 196 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: God. I was listening to the Tom Cotton podcast the 197 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: other day. His book out about Seven Things you Can't 198 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: Say about China, But he was talking about when China 199 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: finally decides to take Taiwan, and nobody has any idea 200 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: if that's going to be this afternoon or never, or 201 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: any time in between, and it's up to President she 202 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: because that's the way their system worked. But as Tom 203 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: Cotton pointed out, like the military exercise they did a 204 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: week or so ago. If they just announced this is 205 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: no longer an exercise, Taiwan is ours. What is anybody 206 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: gonna do about it? Right? Yeah? 207 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 4: At that point, right, Tom, we ought to talk to 208 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 4: Tom Cotton if since he's making the rounds, his book 209 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 4: sounds terrific and man, he is the finest and smartest 210 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 4: of the China Hawks. 211 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. And he makes the point that a lot of 212 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: the world said, no, no, Hong Kong is independent. You 213 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: can't take Hong Kong. Okay, you've taken Hong Kong. You 214 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: shouldn't have done that. And you know, time just goes by, 215 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: and Hong Kong belongs to China. Now it's just like 216 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: any other part of China. Yep. And I think that's 217 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: gonna happen with Taiwan too, which will really affect chipping 218 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah. This trade war is gonna 219 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: be fun to watch. Well. 220 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 4: And one final thought, the reason for his title seven 221 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 4: Things you Can't Say about China, it's just not like 222 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 4: a provocative title. He's making the point that China has 223 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 4: so much power, so much influence over various areas of business, 224 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 4: especially financial, for financial reasons that nobody's willing to call 225 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 4: them on some of the horrors of the way they 226 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 4: do business, the way they treat people, just a dozen 227 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 4: different things. And we've got to stop being afraid of 228 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 4: offending the Communist Chinese. 229 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: Starting with when we were kids, every scary international movie, 230 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: the bad guys were Russian Soviet Union. The spies were 231 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: from the Soviet Union. You know, World War three was 232 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: going to be Soviet Union. Never never Chinese spy, bad 233 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: guys from China in any movie ever. Right, And that's 234 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: what said. Isn't that odd? I wonder if that'll change. Ever, 235 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: we've got more in the way. I hope you can 236 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: stick around. I got something I think it's unintentionally hilarious. 237 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: It seems to be serious. It's from a website that 238 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: helps with careers Career Guide Career Development thirty alternatives to 239 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: hope all is well to use in work emails. I 240 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: need from the Indeed editorial team. I need the editorial 241 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: team of a website around business to help me with 242 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: things to say other than hope all is well. Anyway. 243 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: I'll get into those at the bottom of the ear. 244 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I lean on that phrase a little bit in 245 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 4: my correspondence. I need some alternatives excellent. 246 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: But don't we under well? I'll talk about it when 247 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: it's time to talk about it. 248 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, please Michael five. The Jimmy fallon bits sounds amusing? 249 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: Is it amusing? Let's hear that Trump's trying his best 250 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: to ease everyone's concerns about the economy. This morning he. 251 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 4: Posted be cool, Everything is going to work out well. 252 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: Be cool isn't what you say to fix the economy. 253 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: It's what you say when you and your friend are 254 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: trying to sneak outside food into a movie theater. So 255 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: you're walking weird? Dude, you're walking weird? Why are you 256 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: walking sideways? My mom is just sneaking like a two 257 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: liter bottle of soda and just open it slowly. It's 258 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: the longest. I just open it fast if we can 259 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: get it over with it. Sounds like you're grilling. Yeah. 260 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: When I would bring beers into the movie theater, you 261 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: gotta wait for like an explosion or something loud to happen, 262 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: then you can open your beer. Shameful. I thought this 263 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: was interesting. 264 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 4: According to new research, your mind wandering isn't always harmful 265 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 4: to learning. You know how it is you suddenly realize 266 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 4: you've spaced off and haven't heard. 267 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: A word for the last two minutes or something like that. 268 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: It's okay with like audiobooks and stuff like that podcast 269 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: because I can rewind them. But if it's your boss 270 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: or a professor, you can't rewind it. It's disparting. Yeah, 271 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: I will tell you this. 272 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 4: I'll jump to a bit of a caveat to the science, 273 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 4: which is really interesting but depends the setting and what's 274 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 4: being said and how boring are they But for decades, 275 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 4: whether it's an educator or employer, they've treated mind wandering 276 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 4: as the enemy of productivity and learning. But according to 277 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 4: new research published in the Jural journal, Hello, I need 278 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 4: to read the Journal of Saying the word correctly. New 279 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 4: research published in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests that minds 280 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 4: wandering isn't just harmless, it might actively boost our ability 281 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 4: to pick up on subtle patterns in the world around us. 282 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: It's your brain saying, give me a second. 283 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 4: I've got to shake all of that out, file it 284 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 4: and understand the relationship between those ideas. 285 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm good. 286 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 4: It's doing the making the connections that give you actual 287 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 4: knowledge and wisdom. 288 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: I'll bet that's true sometimes or maybe even most of 289 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: the time, but yes, not always. Yeah. 290 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 4: The study conducted by researchers found that when participants' minds 291 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 4: drifted during a computer task, they became better at detecting 292 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 4: hidden statistical patterns, even though they weren't consciously trying. 293 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: To find them. 294 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 4: Mind wandering, occupying thirty to fifty percent of our waking time, 295 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 4: remains an enigmatic phenomenon and cognitive neuroscience. The researchers noted, 296 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 4: given how much of our mental life around such wandering 297 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 4: thoughts involves such wondering thoughts, it seems unlikely they serve 298 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 4: no purpose. I would argue that that is also another 299 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 4: reason not to stare constantly at your phone and always 300 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 4: engage your mind with inputs. It needs time to not 301 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 4: be doing anything specific I both for your cognitive function 302 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: and your sanity. 303 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: I've always known I've been listening to audiobooks back to 304 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: when they were cassettes you got at the library. But 305 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: I've always noticed, like when i'd go on trips, I 306 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: couldn't get into it right away. I'd keep spacing off, 307 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: and I'd have to rewind, space off, rewind, But once 308 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: I got in a groove, then then I could focus 309 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: so I don't know what that is that it just 310 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: like had to train my brain a little bit to 311 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: be able to focus right. 312 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 4: And they point out that the mind wandering people missed 313 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 4: and made more errors overall during their periods of mind wandering, 314 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 4: but they became much better at detecting certain subtle things 315 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 4: that were below the surface. So spacing off and daydreaming 316 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 4: is incredibly important, as is sleep. 317 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: Hope you are well or on the Armstrong and Getty. 318 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: So we've got an internal thing to clean up here 319 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: on the Armstrong and Getty. 320 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 4: Show, I would say so to say the lace Joey 321 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 4: three years are working together. 322 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: This is the low moment, right, So at the end 323 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: of the last segment, you're about to hear it. I struggled. 324 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: Joe said it was off the air. He said during 325 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: the commercials, that is the worst moment. And thirty years 326 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: of doing this show this Katie's already laughing. She will 327 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: not soon be cleared. I can't wait to hear it again. 328 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: I'm not looking forward to hearing it again. I can 329 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: explain myself, I think, well, I can't really explain it, 330 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: but I know what happened anyway, This is how it 331 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: sounded what you're about to hear happened like six minutes ago. 332 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 4: Spacing off and daydreaming is incredibly important as a sleep. 333 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: Hope you are well or all no on the artrong 334 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 1: and Getty, Oh beautiful, beautiful again, Michael. 335 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 4: Spacing off and daydreaming is incredibly important as a sleep. 336 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: I hope you are well or all no on my 337 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 1: arm strong And so I was trying. I was in 338 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: my mind what I was going to say, and usually, 339 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: as a person who speaks for a living, what I 340 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: have in my mind can come out of my mouth 341 00:18:52,760 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: quite quickly eventually or an alternative version. And I've never 342 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: felt physically this. I've never felt this before. My tongue 343 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: it felt like it was three times its normal size, 344 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: and it just or all nor something happened with my 345 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: jaw in my tongue.

It's not a 396 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: if I use the same one five times in a row. 397 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: It's not a you're meaningless to me gesture. I don't think. 398 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 4: But yeah, that's funny because there's part of me that 399 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 4: thinks we're into the zone of, hey, how's it going. 400 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 1: You don't care how's it going. You're just doing that 401 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: as a traditional greeting. Yeah, that's that's the custom of 402 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: my people. Sorry, anyway, this business website, indeed dot com said, 403 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: here's some all alternatives. That's a tough word for me. 404 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: Other options I'll go with. I'll never say that word 405 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: again in my life. Here's some other options to hope 406 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: all is well as a professional email greeting so that 407 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: you don't look like you're it says a polite greeting. 408 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: That's a polite greeting. I don't care if it's trite. 409 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: I don't care if everyone I don't get anyway, the 410 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: recipient of an email might appreciate your interest in their 411 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 1: well being in the workplace. Here's some questions you can 412 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: use early in an email and stuff instead of hope 413 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: all as well. And they're all as stupid as you 414 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: would think, And I don't understand why they're better, your 415 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: jocketch is healed? No, how are things going with you? 416 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: Why is how are things going with you? Significantly better 417 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: than hope all as well? Just less trying. This is 418 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: from a serious publication. How is your family? How is 419 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: name of a specific pet? Okay? That shows your a 420 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: guess that you're thinking about them specifically and their lives. 421 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: But I don't know. Like I said, I don't feel 422 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: slighted when somebody says hope all is well, or have 423 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,239 Speaker 1: a good day or anything like that. But I mean, 424 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: I guess if I don't know. 425 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 4: I'm picturing the sort of person that I would say 426 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 4: hope all is well with you? Obviously I'm not in 427 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 4: very regular touch with them. Then saying how's Rex your cat? 428 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 4: That doesn't seem better than hope all. 429 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: Is well with you? It's just general good wishes. But 430 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: you would never says an expression of affection, would you ever? Well, 431 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: you probably don't email your wife. Do you ever email 432 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: Judy and say hope all is well? No? No, certainly 433 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: not no, because. 434 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 4: You know if things are well, because you're Yeah, she 435 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 4: was at a singing contest recently. I'd say, hey, how 436 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 4: are things going there so far? 437 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: You know? But I think this is a little picky, 438 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: but go on, So how is name of specific pet? Yes? 439 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 4: Rex as well, thanks for asking. How is how about 440 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 4: the million dollar deal we're working on?

How is weather in their location? 442 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: I appreciate you putting in their location as opposed to 443 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: just randomly somewhere else. How do you suppose the weather 444 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: is in Mumbai? Well, wait a minute, I can check 445 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: the weather every corner of the Earth. It's right at 446 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 1: my fingertips twenty four hours a day. That seems this 447 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: whole thing seems crazy. How is weather in their location? 448 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: Talking about the weather is a classic question to ask 449 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,479 Speaker 1: in a work email situation. This question shows that you're 450 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: familiar with the recipient's location. It also shows you're interested 451 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: in the details of their day to day life. See 452 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: I think this is a load to ass but yes, Katie. 453 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 4: Now, if you were to say something like, I mean, 454 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 4: for instance, you know Sacramento, California, where the show is based, 455 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 4: gets crazy hot in the summertime. If you were to say, hey, 456 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,479 Speaker 4: thing's gotten crazy hot yet they're okay, how is the 457 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 4: weather there? 458 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,239 Speaker 1: That doesn't seem like an improvement on anything. Yeah, but 459 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: hope you're well. 460 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 5: As a closer, asking someone if it's crazy hot is 461 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 5: opening for a second for the conversation to continue. 462 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't understand. Maybe maybe I'm just heartless. And again, 463 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: this is a touchy situation because I'm. 464 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 4: Critically do you have an opinion on that, whether Jack 465 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 4: is heartless or not you'd. 466 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: Like to address. I think he is because I'm currently 467 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: in a bit of a situation with somebody whose feelings 468 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: were very hurt by me using basically a whole ball 469 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: as well, or have a nice day or something like this. 470 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: Is this personally sensitive?

That's exactly what I was told. Okay, 565 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: but again again, I don't know what kind of day 566 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: you're having. 567 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 4: Smell IDEs is you run your own relationships.

I think 574 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 4: we've decided we're going to clean out the sound fridge today. 575 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 4: I got a bunch of really interesting, amusing, thought provoking 576 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 4: audio that we didn't get to during the radio show 577 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 4: and we'll play it for the One More Thing podcast 578 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 4: and talking about it. So anyway, this is not funny 579 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 4: in the least. It's rather heavy. A little comparing contrast 580 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 4: for you. For the third week in a row, hundreds 581 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 4: of Palestinians in northern Gaza are rallying against him Hamas, 582 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 4: chanting slogans labeling the group a terrorist organization and demanding 583 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 4: an end to its rule, even though the leader of 584 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 4: the last protest got tortured to death. 585 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: How many did you say? How many hundreds? Hundreds? Is 586 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: that one hundred and ten or nine hundred and eighty, 587 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: idn't either way, that's a small enough group that you 588 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: are being insanely brave. Well, I shouldn't say insanely, because 589 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: it's not insane at all. It's you are being incredibly patriotic, 590 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: is what you're doing. You're caring more about your people 591 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: and the future than yourself because you're likely to disappear 592 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: in a horrible way. And I see a crowd. 593 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 4: I can see at least fifty people in this photograph, 594 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 4: many of them like on other people's shoulders, out and proud. 595 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 4: Not a single mask. 596 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: You freaking college weenies, mask yourself when you're completely safe 597 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: on your college campus. These people are protesting HAMAS faces bear, 598 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: knowing they're likely to be ortuned to death, will probably 599 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: start hearing those stories like toy. 600 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 4: Meanwhile, here's a d c rally honoring one of the 601 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 4: leaders of HAMAS, and all the college dumb asses are 602 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 4: wearing masks and all it's too much. 603 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: Final.
