WEBVTT - I'm A Fancy Man

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty arm Strong, and

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Jetty and Pee.

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Arms wrong.

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Line from Studio C say, let's send you our mid week.

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 3>We're deep within the bowls of the Armstrong and Getty

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Communications compound, no longer protected by the eighty second Airborne.

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 3>They're on their way to Iran today. We're toiling under

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 3>the title of the show GOLLI g golly Boff. That

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 3>could be the head guy and are on golly Boff.

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you all about him or Jack, if you

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 3>prefer this title. Straight of hor Moves, Ken's queer odd

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 3>times no, but he knows what's going on. Straight turns queer, yes,

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 3>straight formost turns queer. You get it, and let me

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 3>First of all, we are introducing a fifteen point plan

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 3>for intermation over the next four hours. I've already rejected

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 3>nine of the points, but go ahead, and I would

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 3>say that someone like us will never come to terms

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 3>with someone like you, not now, not ever, which is

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 3>what Iran just said to us. That's that's an interesting

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 3>negotiating starting point. If you ever sat down to try

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 3>to make a deal with somebody. It's not the most

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 3>promising beginning I've ever heard. Someone like us will never

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 3>come to terms with someone like you, not now, not ever,

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 3>said some lieutenant colonel that, in theory is speaking on

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 3>behalf of the Iranians. Of course, who knows if that's true,

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 3>n out, But that's what's being reported by lots of

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 3>news outlets. It's like asking a gown, would you like

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 3>to grab some coffee? Sometimes she says I'd rather be murdered,

0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 3>not not ever, under any circumstances, right exactly. Oh boy, hmm.

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 3>That leaves things in an interesting place, this meetings war.

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 3>Of course, we're already at war. Yeah, and we do

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.399
<v Speaker 3>have the eighty second Airborne and others on the way

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.399
<v Speaker 3>over there to force a little leverage. If you're still

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 3>feeling like you ain't in a gun negotiating, maybe you'll

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:23.359
<v Speaker 3>feel differently after Marines Land, I guess is the hope

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 3>sometimes and has happened a number of times through history,

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 3>including Michael. And this is a legitimate historical reference to

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.080
<v Speaker 3>the Chancellor of Germany. This is not a gratuitous h bomb.

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:40.639
<v Speaker 3>So no Hitler dang plays at the end, and Hitler

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 3>was no religious fanatic, although he bordered on being one.

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 3>He was his own godhead and fascism was his religion.

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 3>But he was fully aware that he and Germany were

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 3>going to lose, and he just wanted to kill as

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 3>many allies as possible, no matter the cost to his people.

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.639
<v Speaker 3>He thought his people had failed and let him down.

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 3>And the Iranian leadership may well be in that sort

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 3>of mindset, could be, Oh, yeah, you're going to destroy

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 3>our country, but you know, the eighty percent of Iran

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 3>that doesn't support the Islamic Republic deserves to die anyway,

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 3>and I'll be at Allah's side, So come on in,

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 3>let's see how many infidels we can kill. I would

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 3>explain that kind of language, someone like us will never

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 3>negotiate with someone like you. What is someone like us? Well,

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 3>what you just described, I guess it's entirely possible. And

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 3>I tell you what. They don't teach you a lot

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 3>in political science classes about dealing with death cults. I've

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 3>always thought that's the breakdown and a lot of the

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 3>stuff that Ian Bremer is, a political scientist, talks about

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 3>everything like that. They assume everybody's doing things like for

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 3>rational reasons, right, and people do things for irrational reasons

0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 3>all the freaking time. See Vladimir Putin invading Ukraine. Yeah, pride, conquest, monomania,

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 3>religious fanaticism. Yeah. Anyway, the verdict came back in the

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.679
<v Speaker 3>social media trial yesterday and Meta got a three hundred

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 3>and seventy five million dollar fine. Is that what it was?

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 3>Something like that? Anyway, It was not billions, it was millions.

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 3>That was the one in Texas. Oh it was that

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 3>was not the one in La correct, Yeah, gotcha? Okay,

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:34.919
<v Speaker 3>the similar similar questions being asked. Had they violated consumer

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 3>protection laws to the detriment of youngsters? So again similar framework.

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh okay. So we still don't know where this

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 3>is all going. No, no, but to me, and you

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 3>know me, I'm a society's got to deal with this

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 3>as opposed to like courts and then laws and stuff.

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 3>It speaks to the growing awareness of how rotten this

0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 3>is for kids.

0:04:59.360 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 3>At the the same time, though, every person that I've

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 3>described this trial to has said things like, well, that's

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 3>how the parents should have gotten involved, like why they

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 3>let their kid watch the screen so much? And you

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 3>can't blame a company for wanting to make it more

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 3>popular with you. A handful of people say that to me,

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 3>which is my personal opinion. Also, it's like, as much

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 3>as I hate all that stuff, how we gonna run

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 3>a free market where you tell somebody you've made your

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 3>product just too good and that's on you exactly. That's

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 3>precisely my point. Yeah, it's got to be an awareness

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 3>of you know, staring at the TV fourteen hours a

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 3>day as a twelve year old. That's a terrible, terrible idea.

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.840
<v Speaker 3>What laws should be passed? None, And I'm not sure why.

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Internal memos that they've uncovered at Facebook of people saying

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:56.720
<v Speaker 3>geez our Instagram is so addictive means anything. Yeah, it

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 3>depends how specific it is. If it says, oh, our

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 3>causes a specific harm, let's go ahead anyway. But it's

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 3>gotta be a fairly specific harm, not a this is

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 3>so great people want to do it all day. I

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 3>don't even know how that works. Because potato chips, if

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 3>you eat a luff of them, market or a specific harm.

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 3>All kinds of crap food is a specific harm, and

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 3>it exists. You just gotta not eat so much of it,

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 3>no matter how delicious they make it and how cheap,

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 3>so delicious, so delicious, so cheap. Although you're designer chips,

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 3>and I'm I'm a fancy man. I prefer your designer chips.

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 3>They are not cheap these days. Yeah, I eat lace,

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 3>yellow lace. I don't care how rich you are. You

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 3>lay out six bucks for a little bag of chips.

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 3>You're thinking, what the hell is going on here? I know, God,

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 3>I did a thing for uh. I was at the

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.840
<v Speaker 3>grocery store yesterday. This slapsy in the face. Every time

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 3>you go to the grocery store get gas. That's probably

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.040
<v Speaker 3>why the economic polling is where it is. Twice a

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 3>week or however many times a week. I eat so

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 3>eating out grocery store gas three times. Three different scenarios

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 3>that practically, on a daily basis, you get slapped in

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 3>the face with how expensive stuff is. And it's not subtle.

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 3>But I was at the grocery store yesterday. I was

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 3>buying a bunch of groceries for this band trip my

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 3>son was going on. So parents are buying some groceries donating.

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I thought, okay, I'll go to the sign up genius

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 3>and pick a couple of things and buy them whatever.

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 3>He was like one hundred and forty dollars. That's one

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 3>hundred and forty dollars. I bought some gata rade and

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 3>some chips. It's one hundred and forty dollars. It just

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 3>filled up with gas and was a hundred and fifty dollars.

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 3>Show a hands. You know, everybody listening who has not

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 3>checked out a grocery store lately and said, what the

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 3>hell are the equivalent? I'm probably sure he didn't ring

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 3>that up nine times by accident. I just got six items.

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 3>I know it's shirking everybody, and that's why you got

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 3>We never did get to the numbers yesterday. I guess

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 3>we'll get them to them today. Just really negative attitudes

0:07:55.400 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 3>about uh, the economy, and then Trump's emphasis on trying

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 3>to make stuff cheaper and all that, which is a

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 3>little bit of dumb people believing prices were gonna come down.

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 3>Of course he said it, so yes, he did. You know, Trump,

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 3>for all of his strength and weaknesses, he was absolutely

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 3>brilliant at tapping into the working classes feelings about their

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 3>country and about the derision they'd been getting from the left.

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 3>He was perfect on that. As a lifelong, very very

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 3>rich person, I think he has zero sense of what

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 3>it's like to struggle financially, and that comes across it

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 3>could be how would he how would he know? How

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.959
<v Speaker 3>would he have the slightest idea what it feels like

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:43.800
<v Speaker 3>to actually like I can't get, I gotta get I'm

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 3>just gonna get enough gas to get me to work

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.319
<v Speaker 3>the next two days because I get paid on Sunday.

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 3>There's no possible way he could tap into that feeling.

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 3>I've done that many times. I've done that many times

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 3>in my life, Like how many gallons of gas do

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.320
<v Speaker 3>I have to get so I have enough money left

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 3>over bounce any checks that I've run before I get

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 3>paid next time? And is that amount of gas going

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 3>to be enough to get me back and forth to work.

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't think Trump tries very hard to understand it,

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.679
<v Speaker 3>but I don't know if he could, no matter how

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 3>hard he tried. You, if you've never felt what I've

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 3>long referred to as the fear capitalized, you just can't

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 3>relate to it. Yeah, that is a bad feeling. Just

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 3>saying that brought up a bad feeling in me. I

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 3>haven't had to do that in quite a while. Oh,

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 3>I know. My best one is one time Kansas City

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 3>I was going to work, and I just did not

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 3>have enough gas to drive all the way to the

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 3>AT and T building where I did that entry. It

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 3>was like thirty miles away, and I stopped at a

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 3>gas station and I gave a guy my watch. I said,

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.319
<v Speaker 3>I'll give you this watch if you let me get

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 3>ten dollars with a gas and then i'll pay you

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 3>back tomorrow. And he let me do it. He took

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 3>my watch and let me get ten dollars with a gas.

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:53.559
<v Speaker 3>Then I paid him back and give me my watch back.

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 3>That's the Midwest, you know, a number of years ago. Yeah,

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 3>that sucked. That's uh, you're down to brass tacks there, Yes,

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 3>that sucked. Any who, let's start down to the system.

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.959
<v Speaker 3>I was down to the barter system, Yes, I actually was.

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.559
<v Speaker 3>And then you know, if he says, uh, no on

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 3>the watch, but you're kind of cute, then then you know,

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.080
<v Speaker 3>what are my choices that it's gonna say you're one

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.320
<v Speaker 3>step away from twenty bucks the hard way? Oh boy? Yeah,

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.680
<v Speaker 3>that's for more guests. Katie really enjoying this discussion, feel

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 3>free to comment if you like. I think I'll go

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 3>ahead and walk at that point, but I don't know.

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:28.719
<v Speaker 3>If I was supposed to be there at seven and

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 3>that's so that's a long walk, and yeah, twenty bucks.

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 3>The hard way would be a lot less effort. Yeah,

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 3>what's what's a little more shame after all? Exactly? Just

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 3>you do it like a dentist, appoint me. Come up

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.679
<v Speaker 3>with something to think about. Let's think about something might

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 3>be distracting exactly. I play. I play my favorite golf

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 3>courses in my head. There you go. I work on music,

0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.079
<v Speaker 3>like try to remember the chords and the bah bah

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 3>bah music distract myself while I'm in this scenario having

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 3>sex with the gas station. I'm easy. Leaving things unsaid

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:08.360
<v Speaker 3>is okay too? That's go to clear enough it you

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.839
<v Speaker 3>just clear it up, Joe. That's all for those those

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 3>who haven't had their first cup of coffee yet. It's

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.199
<v Speaker 3>just when I said it out loud, I realized what

0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:19.839
<v Speaker 3>we're discussing. Okay, boy, let's start the show officially. I'm

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Jack Armstrong. E's Joe Getty on this It is Wednesday,

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 3>March twenty fifty or twenty twenty six, where I'm strong

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 3>in getting we approve of this program. Okay, let's move

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 3>on quickly. According to FCC, rules and regulations precisely at mark.

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 3>If you're a president of the United States, what would

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 3>be the first thing that you.

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Guys do buy?

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Something really cool, like a bunch of cars or the

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 3>drinking age all the girls gotta be in Bikini's twenty

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:43.200

<v Speaker 2>Give me and my friends a lot of money, good steal?

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, from the federal Reserve? What's federal reserve? Oh? Asking

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 3>spring breakers on the beach, various political questions, always amusing. Now,

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 3>some of the answers are just I'm drinking beer on

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 3>spring break. I'm not going to give you a serious answer.

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 3>But some of them, because we got more of them later,

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 3>are an indication of like really not having any idea

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 3>about anything, which is troubling because they are by definition

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 3>college kids. I would follow up every question with have

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 3>you participated in any sort of protest or march in

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 3>the last five last year? That's a good one, that's

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 3>a good one. Anyway, I marched for Palestine. Oh, where

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 3>is Palestine exactly? Oh, We've got a lot more of

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 3>those clips, and we'll get to those later. We got

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Katie's headlines on the way. I hope you can stay here.

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 3>So the baseball season kicks off tonight. They ruined Opening

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 3>Day like they've ruined everything else. So I don't know

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:46.679
<v Speaker 3>why we take all of our traditions and decided to

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 3>ruin them. But we got one game tonight and then

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.719
<v Speaker 3>dribbles and drabbles instead of the big whatever. But the

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 3>first Major League baseball game where you got the electronic

0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.679
<v Speaker 3>robot umpire, we got to talk about that later. That's

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 3>an inch, yeah, yeah, ah, it's funny. I was just

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 3>reading about how they've ruined basketball. Maybe we'll get sports

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 3>for a couple of minutes at some point in the show,

0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:10.839
<v Speaker 3>But first let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 3>lead story with Katie Green Oh.

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 2>I Ran is at the top once again. ABC.

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 4>Iran insists no negotiations as US ends peace plan, CNN

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 4>US expected to deploy one thousand paratroopers to the Middle East,

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 4>as Iran taunts the White House and NBC. Iran mocks

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 4>the idea of negotiating with the United States after Trump

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 4>says to I ran badly wants a deal.

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 3>So many news outlets going with the Trump claims to

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 3>be negotiating, but Iran says there are no negotiations going

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 3>on the word claim being pejorative. And then the former

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 3>CIA director Brennan, is it that one? Whichever one during

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 3>the Russia hoax, came out yesterday and said, I tend

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 3>to believe the Iranians over the president. Are you freaking

0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 3>kidding me? There are all kinds of serious news outlets

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 3>that have named the names of the negotiators that we

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 3>were talking about yesterday. It's not just some crackpot theory

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.440
<v Speaker 3>that is unbelievable. You get yesterday's fifty four ready, somebody,

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:15.960
<v Speaker 3>thank you to somebody.

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:21.960

<v Speaker 4>quit since the partial shutdown began.

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is this is terrible, but no time to

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:44.760
<v Speaker 3>talk about it.

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.320

<v Speaker 3>Case a, New Mexico. Sorry had the wrong Dusty State.

0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Are those dollar amounts just more US random? There's some formula,

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 3>but they feel random. Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>I feel like there's a whole bunch of wrangling over

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.120
<v Speaker 3>things that aren't going to do a lot of have

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:22.400

<v Speaker 3>had again two Republicans at the top. And the way

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:28.200
<v Speaker 3>we do things in California is the top two people

0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:32.280
<v Speaker 3>in the polls in the primary face off for governor

0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:33.880
<v Speaker 3>and it doesn't matter if you're from the same party

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.920
<v Speaker 3>or not. It's a jungle primary. Jackie strip naked and

0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 3>throw pooh at each other. And originally they did that

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.440
<v Speaker 3>because they thought, what's the point of even having a

0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.879
<v Speaker 3>Republican with no support go against a Democrat the Democrat

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 3>always winning. Let's have two Democrats fight it out. Well,

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.040
<v Speaker 3>this time around, he got two Republicans leading in the poll.

0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Fox News's former Fox News host Steve Hilton and Riverside

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:56.160
<v Speaker 3>County Sheriff Chad Bianco are leading the field. She could

0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 3>end up with two Republicans facing off for governor in California.

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Wouldn't that be crazy? In no Democrats? And then so

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 3>there's lots of noise being made by the Democratic Party

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 3>that a whole bunch of these other people get out

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 3>of my heaf and shot whatever their name is. Katie

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:12.639
<v Speaker 3>Porter and some of the other Democrats who don't really

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 3>have a chance of winning, need to get out so

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 3>that their vote consolidates around a couple of people, so

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.679
<v Speaker 3>that they bump up in the polls. And because right

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:22.480
<v Speaker 3>now the vote is split among a whole bunch of

0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 3>different Democrats and they're all white, is the problem. So

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 3>that's why USC canceled the debate last night. Some candidates

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.120
<v Speaker 3>that weren't going to be on the stage, apparently people

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 3>of color, complained that it was going to be an

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 3>all white debate and USC was so, oh my god,

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 3>that would look so bad for us. We look racist

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 3>or something. They canceled the debate rather than stick with

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.400
<v Speaker 3>the rules that you have to have a certain percentage

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.159
<v Speaker 3>of support in the polling and a certain amount of

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:53.040
<v Speaker 3>support in funding, and they put that number together somehow

0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 3>to see if you qualify the debate. We all know

0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:57.400
<v Speaker 3>from watching presidential debates, if you get too many people

0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 3>up there, it ruins the debate. And you can't just

0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.680
<v Speaker 3>let everybody who says I'll run be on the debate

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 3>stage and get equal time. It just it's dumb. You

0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.440
<v Speaker 3>gotta you gotta at least Winnow it down to people

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:12.119
<v Speaker 3>that have at least some shot of winning to have

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:14.919
<v Speaker 3>a decent debate. And that's and so they set a standard.

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 3>What for whatever reason, only white people qualified through that standard,

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 3>So they canceled the debate, which makes perfect sense. That's

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.680
<v Speaker 3>the way you handle that situation. Well, yeah, the the

0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:28.880
<v Speaker 3>activist Hispanic folks in this case said that the standards

0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 3>that were put together were twisted so that it would

0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 3>be white people, which, of course, well, if you believe

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 3>it happened in California, good lord, if you believe in

0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 3>disparate impact, it is proof that it's racist. I believe

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.280
<v Speaker 3>in desparate impact, like I believe in witchcraft. Right, You're right,

0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:51.080
<v Speaker 3>the USC and California have systemic racism keeping people from

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:55.159
<v Speaker 3>succeeding as Hispanics. That's, of course, that's true. I have

0:21:55.320 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 3>what twenty five examples easily, I've of Thinn the herd,

0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:03.959
<v Speaker 3>but of how universities are every bit as bad as

0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:06.960
<v Speaker 3>they've ever been. The effort to reform them, the finds,

0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:10.159
<v Speaker 3>the Trump threats, the you know, the withholding funding and

0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:13.200
<v Speaker 3>all it's you know, it's woken people up and it's

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 3>made a teeny tiny bit of progress, but oh my god,

0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 3>the inmates absolutely are still running the asylum coast to coast. Anyway,

0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:23.200
<v Speaker 3>we'll talk to Steve Hilton later in the show. I'm

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:24.680
<v Speaker 3>sure he'll have a lot to say about the poll

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 3>and the canceling the debate. Speaking of bizarre and idiotic beliefs,

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.439
<v Speaker 3>you have socialism really interesting. I'm scanning the free press here.

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:36.840
<v Speaker 3>Starbucks is trying to soft pedal how clearly they are

0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:42.560
<v Speaker 3>leaving Seattle. They're looking at a whopping quarter million dollars

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:44.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, not a million dollars, a quarter of a

0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:48.960
<v Speaker 3>million square feet of office space in Nashville, enough for

0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:53.360
<v Speaker 3>up to two thousand employees. And it's interesting because they're

0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:55.119
<v Speaker 3>still saying, Oh, we have no plans to leave our

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:59.680
<v Speaker 3>Seattle headquarters. We're just shopping for enormous office space in Nashville.

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Once again, I wish companies would say out loud why

0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:06.119
<v Speaker 3>they leave California or Seattle or wherever, because then you

0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:09.119
<v Speaker 3>might get some change. Yeah, and the news comes right

0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:12.960
<v Speaker 3>after former CEO Howard Schultz, who's still an important part

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 3>of the chain there, announced he's moving to Miami in

0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.439
<v Speaker 3>what is read as a shot at Washington State's new

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 3>millionaire tax, which I think is absolutely right. And the

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 3>other side of that coin, it happens to be The

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:27.360
<v Speaker 3>next story they feature is the AP with a shocking

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 3>report out of Poland, and I think the credit goes to, yes,

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:33.840
<v Speaker 3>the always hilarious Nelly bowls, but I'm going to read

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:39.359
<v Speaker 3>a little AP dateline is Posna and Poland Poland. A

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:43.040
<v Speaker 3>generation ago, Poland ration sugar and flour well at citizens

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:46.639
<v Speaker 3>were paid one tenth of what German West Germans earned. Today,

0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:49.040
<v Speaker 3>the economy of the country is edged past Switzerland to

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:51.560
<v Speaker 3>become the world's twentieth largest, with more than one trillion

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:54.440
<v Speaker 3>dollars an annual output. It's a historical leap from the

0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:57.200
<v Speaker 3>post communist ruins of nineteen eighty nine and ninety to

0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 3>European Growth Champion, which economists say has lessons on how

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:05.120
<v Speaker 3>to bring prosperity to ordinary people. And Nell He says,

0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 3>wait is it capitalism? Did they just do capitalism back

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:10.840
<v Speaker 3>to the ap one of the most important factors was

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:14.879
<v Speaker 3>rapidly building a strong institutional framework for business. Yep, it

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 3>was capitalism. Well, the Democratic Socialists of America's are on

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Mundani's people are obsessed right now with protecting Cuba's communism.

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Over in Europe. You have to whatever extent you embrace

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:33.439
<v Speaker 3>the free market, you prosper period, and to whatever extent

0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:39.040
<v Speaker 3>you like old Europe embrace government control and climate utopianism

0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:43.680
<v Speaker 3>and overregulation. You have stagnation and misery. It's just, oh

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 3>my lord. Well, plus, communism is evil and it kills you.

0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 3>So not only does it not work as an economic model,

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 3>but it's not the jazziest way to live your life,

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:55.440
<v Speaker 3>which reminds me. Last night we were eating dinner and

0:24:55.520 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 3>I told Henry, and I said, I wish Joe were here,

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:01.399
<v Speaker 3>because Henry, my son had seen the trailer for the

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 3>new or Well movie The Animal Farm. Yeah we're talking

0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:08.639
<v Speaker 3>about a while back. Yeah, my son saw the new

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:11.919
<v Speaker 3>Animal Farm trailer and was outraged at the way they

0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 3>look like they have changed the story about how awful

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 3>communism is to I don't even know what they've changed

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:21.359
<v Speaker 3>it into. It's uh, it's capitalism that that is the

0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:24.480
<v Speaker 3>motivator of the oppression on the animal farm. I'll have

0:25:24.560 --> 0:25:27.160
<v Speaker 3>to see the movie. The trailer makes it look that way.

0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 3>If they actually did that, I'm going to I will.

0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:34.119
<v Speaker 3>I will not be able to believe it. That's just

0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:40.040
<v Speaker 3>again unbelievable. I do have one charitable possibility, and that

0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 3>is in the original book. And this was an example

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:48.159
<v Speaker 3>of how communism utterly betrays its vows and principles. The

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:50.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, the the pigs and dogs that were in

0:25:50.880 --> 0:25:53.600
<v Speaker 3>charge of the animal farm ended up working with the

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:57.440
<v Speaker 3>capitalists to enhance their own wealth and power, even as

0:25:57.600 --> 0:26:02.440
<v Speaker 3>they espoused the principle's communism. So there is a quote

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:04.800
<v Speaker 3>unquote capitalist element to the story, and it could be

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:10.120
<v Speaker 3>for marketing purposes to young audiences, because that's who goes

0:26:10.240 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 3>to movies. They really played up the capitalist, the greedy

0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:18.359
<v Speaker 3>capitalist angle in the trailer that is my most charitable

0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:21.720
<v Speaker 3>possible interpretation of that trailer. Yeah, well I want to

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:23.680
<v Speaker 3>see it before I comment on it, but I thought

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:26.440
<v Speaker 3>it was interesting. That's too much time. My son was

0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:29.320
<v Speaker 3>as outraged as you over the trailer. Wait to go, Henry.

0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:35.440
<v Speaker 3>But where are the examples of this working? So you

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 3>got Poland and many, many, many other examples of it.

0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:41.399
<v Speaker 3>Free market system working very very well. Where are the

0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:45.080
<v Speaker 3>examples of socialism and communism working? Now? They just didn't

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:46.840
<v Speaker 3>do it right for what we know how to do

0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:49.159
<v Speaker 3>it right? For whatever reason, I did a deep ish

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:52.280
<v Speaker 3>dive on Cuba yesterday, got hooked on something and then

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:57.919
<v Speaker 3>just couldn't stop reading chat, gpting and watching YouTube videos

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:01.040
<v Speaker 3>about Cuba as it's about too Oh, it's because the

0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:03.040
<v Speaker 3>number of journalists that have gone over to Cuba in

0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:05.320
<v Speaker 3>the last week or so trying to claim that it's

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:07.560
<v Speaker 3>great over there and that the United States is trying

0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 3>to ruin it. Well in useful idiots from like code

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:13.639
<v Speaker 3>Pink and Off, I've read a great piece on that

0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:16.879
<v Speaker 3>these people are so stupid. You know. One of my

0:27:18.880 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 3>most important and ridiculous childhood delusions and young adult delusions

0:27:27.000 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 3>was that humanity ever learns anything that's just wrong. Well

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:39.639
<v Speaker 3>you're coming with the TV okay, correct? Yeah, yeah, and

0:27:40.040 --> 0:27:42.640
<v Speaker 3>oh I've been so disappointed and frustrated through my life.

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 3>I just need to accept it. Yeah no, no, no, no,

0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 3>we just did that and it was a horrific disaster. Great,

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:54.120
<v Speaker 3>let's do it. Well. I think about that in terms

0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:56.880
<v Speaker 3>of being a parent, because I heard somebody say years ago,

0:27:57.000 --> 0:28:01.119
<v Speaker 3>and it was kind of true in my life, a

0:28:01.240 --> 0:28:03.239
<v Speaker 3>lot a lot of stuff. Your parents told you, your

0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:05.800
<v Speaker 3>dad told you, You went out and did anyway to

0:28:06.000 --> 0:28:08.200
<v Speaker 3>like prove them right, and then your kids are gonna

0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:11.879
<v Speaker 3>do the same things. So it's to a certain extent

0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:13.880
<v Speaker 3>we all have to learn these lessons on our own

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:20.879
<v Speaker 3>and societies as well. Yeah yeah, yeah, but I get that.

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:25.800
<v Speaker 3>But as an individual, you learn the lesson generally and

0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:28.640
<v Speaker 3>internalize it and live a better life for it, having

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:32.640
<v Speaker 3>become sadder but wiser. Whereas you know, as the human race,

0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 3>I expected for some reason that the human race would

0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:37.679
<v Speaker 3>behave more like an individual when it doesn't at all,

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 3>And you just have to realize that you and that

0:28:41.240 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 3>is one of the great failings of the baby boom

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:49.200
<v Speaker 3>boomer generation and Gen X, which is to assume that

0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 3>our children cherished what we cherished. In the case of

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 3>Boomer's consumerism. H that was a joke, but we thought

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:03.480
<v Speaker 3>everybody cheered freedom. Understands what oppression is, why you hate it,

0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:06.000
<v Speaker 3>why liberty is so wonderful, why the free market is

0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 3>the way for poor people to get ahead, why socialism

0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:12.640
<v Speaker 3>is not only a lie but a miserable failure. And

0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 3>we assume that humanity had learned that lesson. We didn't

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.640
<v Speaker 3>have to hammer it. You have to hammer it apparently,

0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:21.720
<v Speaker 3>so hammer it we will. Friends, stay with us. I

0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:25.600
<v Speaker 3>do want to talk about so our San Francisco Giants

0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 3>baseball team hosting the Yankees tonight to kick off Major

0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 3>League Baseball. But they're going to have computer umpires. If

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:35.160
<v Speaker 3>you don't like a call, which is an interesting thing

0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:40.800
<v Speaker 3>to discuss. Yeah, appeal to the machine. Pretty soon it'll

0:29:40.800 --> 0:29:44.760
<v Speaker 3>be cyborgs back there, probably huh, shooting lasers out of

0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 3>their eyes, sums around. You go challenge a colleagers, and

0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 3>you a laser eyes or something. Wow, wow, ejected from

0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 3>the game and from life. But some of the stats

0:29:56.720 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 3>from having tried this during the preseason for baseball are

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:03.000
<v Speaker 3>pretty darn interesting. Using a computer and everything like that.

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 3>How often people umpires, got the call right or wrong

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:08.040
<v Speaker 3>and all that sort of stuff. We got mail bag

0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:13.960
<v Speaker 3>on the way. I hope you can stick around, ran

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 3>with quite a statement saying people like us will never

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:20.080
<v Speaker 3>negotiate with people like you. Oh so that's where things

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 3>are interesting. We'll talk about that more an hour two.

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Stay with us. Excellent. Here's your freedom loving quote of

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:30.080
<v Speaker 3>the day. I came across this today from Holman Jenkins,

0:30:30.120 --> 0:30:34.960
<v Speaker 3>who's a columnists with Wall Street Journal, and he's talking

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:38.480
<v Speaker 3>about the war and the possible outcomes and the partisanship

0:30:38.560 --> 0:30:40.960
<v Speaker 3>and everything. And he said, America is a country that

0:30:41.120 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 3>inflicts small disasters on itself, not Stalinist terrors or Maoist famines.

0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 3>It stumbles clumsily from triumph to triumph, A point lost

0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 3>on New York Times columnists outdoing each other in their

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:59.160
<v Speaker 3>trite formulations of Trumpean doom. That's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, boy,

0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:03.760
<v Speaker 3>that's true. Trite formulations of Trumpe and doom. People get

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 3>tired of reading that. Neil Ferguson, the historian pushing back

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 3>on the whole taco thing yesterday. That thought was really good.

0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:13.000
<v Speaker 3>We'll talk about that later too. Excellent. Here's a mailbag

0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:15.600
<v Speaker 3>for it drops a ope mail bag at Armstrong and

0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Giddy dot com. This zapropos of nothing, but I thought

0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 3>it was interesting, Nate writes. Research indicates when people are

0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 3>forced to make snap judgments under time pressure, they typically

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:30.840
<v Speaker 3>choose generosity over selfishness, particularly if they're being observed. Are

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:33.600
<v Speaker 3>we being taken advantage of? I go to and he

0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 3>lists a bunch of different stores to survive because I

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 3>am not naturally not that successful in life due to

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 3>low IQ. I don't know if that's true today, but

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:44.680
<v Speaker 3>what he says, I need all the help I can

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 3>get live in paycheck to paycheck. That's why I think

0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:49.400
<v Speaker 3>it's wrong for the clerk deck that we round up

0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 3>for charity. When we make a purchase, they get to

0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:54.560
<v Speaker 3>claim we raised one hundred million dollars for charity, and

0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 3>they benefit from the positive pr But how about the

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 3>stoare somedays saying to us, Hey, today your purchase is

0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 3>fifty dollars and seventy two cents. We're gonna round down

0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 3>to fifty dollars. Stores need to go back to being

0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:09.880
<v Speaker 3>stores and up donation centers that take advantage of our

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:14.400
<v Speaker 3>innate goodness between the always donating to a charity, and

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:19.640
<v Speaker 3>the always tipping, no matter what transaction just happened, giving

0:32:19.720 --> 0:32:24.240
<v Speaker 3>me the option to tip. What am I tipping you for? God? Stop? Yeah,

0:32:24.320 --> 0:32:27.600
<v Speaker 3>I know we just need to say no. Moving along,

0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:31.600
<v Speaker 3>Deo Rights need Joe's thoughts on this Hamburger's at home

0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:37.560
<v Speaker 3>from scratch, add breadcrumbs and egg or no, well deal.

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:39.760
<v Speaker 3>It won't surprise you to know that I, Joe Getty,

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:45.600
<v Speaker 3>lover of liberty, believe in hamburger experimentation, hamburger freedom, try

0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:50.000
<v Speaker 3>different things. Why not? How bad could it be? It's

0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:51.880
<v Speaker 3>been a long time since I've made it. But if

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 3>you like onion, Jack, I know you don't. I make

0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:57.920
<v Speaker 3>onion burgers where I do a nice thin hockey puck

0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:01.200
<v Speaker 3>of onion, then I form the burger around it and

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:06.320
<v Speaker 3>cook the onion inside the burger and oh spectacular. And

0:33:06.480 --> 0:33:09.480
<v Speaker 3>season the meat. You've got to season the meat. I

0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:11.640
<v Speaker 3>never do anything. Oh my tiny little grill. I just

0:33:11.680 --> 0:33:15.160
<v Speaker 3>put the burgers on their plane, you're almost guy grill,

0:33:15.240 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 3>and then put them on the bun and eat it

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 3>with ketchup.

0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Escrat it out there shoeless wearing a torn sweater.

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:25.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, it's your spatula on the driveway. I've

0:33:25.400 --> 0:33:27.560
<v Speaker 3>never thought of putting anything on my hamburger. I should

0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 3>try it. Moving along, let's see what's the carrier. AI

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:38.040
<v Speaker 3>are people. Frequent correspondent Pallo rights. AI currently has neither

0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:40.320
<v Speaker 3>the inclination or the agency to act on a decision

0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 3>to make war or any other decision like use nuclear

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:45.240
<v Speaker 3>arms like we were talking about. We do need to

0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:47.520
<v Speaker 3>take great care that we don't give it that agency.

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:49.800
<v Speaker 3>But we have a far more immediate concern. There are

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:52.120
<v Speaker 3>plenty of humans around with the agency and inclination to

0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:55.080
<v Speaker 3>do bad things that they lack. They just lack the means.

0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:59.280
<v Speaker 3>Think Iran, and then his conclusion is we're going to

0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:03.600
<v Speaker 3>have AI empowered bad actors long before we have autonomous

0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:06.760
<v Speaker 3>AI running amuck. We can't let fear of boogeyman AI

0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:09.480
<v Speaker 3>in hibit us from developing technology that we may need

0:34:09.560 --> 0:34:12.919
<v Speaker 3>to defend ourselves against those AI empowered bad actors. Bottom line,

0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:15.239
<v Speaker 3>we need to be very very careful about how we

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:20.080
<v Speaker 3>deploy AI and very very aggressive about developing it. I

0:34:20.200 --> 0:34:24.040
<v Speaker 3>thought that was beautifully put. Got another AI note, but

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:28.360
<v Speaker 3>I want to Yah, maybe I'll go ahead and do this.

0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:30.439
<v Speaker 3>I think all that's going to break down really fast.

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 3>If ASI ever happens artificial super intelligent, it'll just start

0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:37.719
<v Speaker 3>doingever once and we'll have no control over it. And

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:40.840
<v Speaker 3>then JT and Livermore on Tuesday Show, you had a

0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:43.560
<v Speaker 3>segment in which AI on AI, in which it was

0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:46.200
<v Speaker 3>real to AI had learned to change its answers if

0:34:46.280 --> 0:34:49.040
<v Speaker 3>it was perceived it was being tested, to which Jack asked,

0:34:49.040 --> 0:34:51.120
<v Speaker 3>White does a care. There's the problem right there. It

0:34:51.200 --> 0:34:53.960
<v Speaker 3>doesn't care. It is a computer program. If you think

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:55.640
<v Speaker 3>of it as you would think of as a human,

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:57.360
<v Speaker 3>you're never going to understand what's going on. If you

0:34:57.360 --> 0:34:59.320
<v Speaker 3>want to get your head wrapped around these AI stories,

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:01.400
<v Speaker 3>here's what you need to do. For example, instead of

0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:03.919
<v Speaker 3>asking why does it care, you could wonder why would

0:35:03.960 --> 0:35:06.560
<v Speaker 3>the program change its answers based on its belief that

0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:08.920
<v Speaker 3>it was being tested. When you pair that kind of

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:11.719
<v Speaker 3>question with the knowledge that these llmais are basing their

0:35:11.760 --> 0:35:14.920
<v Speaker 3>answers on all of human digitized information, you're gonna understand

0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:19.360
<v Speaker 3>what's going on. They gather a bunch of zillions of

0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:27.200
<v Speaker 3>examples of people avoiding responsibility, lying, etc. They've adapted to

0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:30.719
<v Speaker 3>human nature. Garbage in, garbage out out. We had a

0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:32.000
<v Speaker 3>lot more on the way if you miss a segment

0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 3>at the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and

0:35:36.120 --> 0:35:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Getty
