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 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong Show, Katty, I'm strong and

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: Getty and he I'm strong and Getty.

4
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: I'm sick of your I'm tired of having to wait.

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: You guys are always effing late. This is effing ridiculous.

6
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: The newly obtained Charleston Airport investigation report says Republican congress

7
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: Member Nancy Mace repeatedly insulted security officers when her car

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: was not met and she was not immediately escorted to

9
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: her plane. In late October, Mace's office called a report

10
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: of full exoneration, even though it says she blew a

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: minor miscommunication into a spectacle.

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: That's what Hexa did the area. I'm gonna start doing that.

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: That's what Trump does.

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, something comes in and you know, says I'm guilty

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 3: or whatever. That completely cleared as I expected fully. Generation

16
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: Thank you, your honor. I just sentence you to eight years.

17
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: I'm totally innocent. We both agree, Thank you, sir. She's

18
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 3: half a job that, Nancy Mace. I'm sick of your ass.

19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 3: I wasn't planning none more of this. But how about

20
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: seventy two. I just want to hear her deny that

21
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: because there's a video of it, right, I haven't seen.

22
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 4: The video, but you are you saying that you never

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 4: said any of these quotes, that every single one is

24
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 4: a lie.

25
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 5: You have to read it to me again.

26
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 6: I think idiots.

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: I did not, I did representative.

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 5: I did not say that.

29
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: I did say I'm sick of your shoe.

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: I'm tired of having to wait.

31
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 6: I should not have to wait.

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: You guys are always fing late. This is efing ridiculous.

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 5: No, I mean no, I did. I've never called a

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 5: cop an idiot. That is a remarkably false.

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: But you're saying these police officers are lying, then who spoke.

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 5: To I am absolutely saying that that report was falsified,

37
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 5: one hundred percent fictitious, falsified.

38
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: Which is possible. I haven't seen the video or anything.

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 6: Seems an odd thing to do for a you know,

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 6: peace officer to think, you know what I'm gonna do,

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 6: I'm gonna make stuff up against make stuff up about

42
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 6: a congress woman.

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Well she didn't.

44
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: I'm sick of your ass. She was denying that she

45
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: called them idiots. She might have said I'm sick of

46
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: your ass. So I saw it reminded me for some reason.

47
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 3: I was thinking about this yesterday before the Nancy Mace

48
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: thing even came up.

49
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why this popped into my head. I

50
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: wonder why.

51
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: AnyWho, many many many years ago, gladys, you got your

52
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: heart many many years ago.

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: It's probably late eighties, so we're all gonna dang. Near

54
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: forty years ago I had as at a lake with

55
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people, and everybody was hammered.

56
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 3: We'd been drinking all day out of their mind, hammered. Anyway,

57
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: these two dudes that most of us were with, they

58
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: were like the leader of this beach party at this lake,

59
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: were fairly well known and very wealthy, and everybody knew that,

60
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: like their mom owned the big bar restaurant there at

61
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: the lake, and they both owned big night clubs themselves.

62
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: And anyway, the cops came by for some reason. I

63
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: don't remember how it started, but they didn't have the

64
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: proper stickers on their jet skis, whatever the regulations were.

65
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: Can't have that here in Hazard County.

66
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: Why the cops decided to make a thing of that,

67
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 3: and I don't know, but anyway they did, and man,

68
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: these two rich kids who at that time would have

69
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: been I mean young, pretty young, like twenty five and

70
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: twenty eight. Man, they were so brutal to the cop

71
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: who put up with it. I guess that's why it

72
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: stuck in my mind for a couple of reasons. First

73
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: of all, I'd never seen anybody talk to a cop

74
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: like that before. I would never talk to a cop

75
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: like that.

76
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: I didn't dig it. I didn't think it was cool

77
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: at all. I thought it was awful.

78
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: And then I was amazed that the cop put up

79
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: with it, and that was its own kind of lesson

80
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 3: in life that he feels like he's got to take

81
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 3: this a level of s from these two dudes because

82
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: their mom owns half the company.

83
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so he yeah, Okay, I don't know that.

84
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: I always just assumed that because there'd be no other

85
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: reason you would put up with that level of belligerent,

86
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 3: drunken calling you names and everything like that.

87
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 6: But it was just sort of a place where you

88
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 6: would know that who the rich people in the county.

89
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah, interest is small town American

90
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 3: and everything like that, And it was just it was

91
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: I'd never seen that sort of thing displayed before where

92
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 3: people of privilege and power don't feel like that they not.

93
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 3: I mean that's common, uh, privilege and power feeling like

94
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: that that the rules don't apply it to the but

95
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: the actually lighten up the cops when.

96
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: You're displeased with the way you're being treated. I had

97
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: never seen that before, and like I said, it was

98
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: it was a life lesson.

99
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: And I guess this can happen, and I guess cops

100
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 3: will put up with it if somebody is important enough

101
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: for whatever the way the world works, for whatever reasons.

102
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, be careful about playing that card though, Junior. Yeah,

103
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: no kidding.

104
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I got admit, and these were friends of mine,

105
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 3: but I was I was thinking this guy.

106
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: Should freaking arrest these dudes. I absolutely Oh interesting, Hey.

107
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: You effing moron, You show me where these stickers should

108
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: go effing more on piece of ass? You know, that's

109
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: sort of wowoo And I got just put up with it.

110
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: Wow wow. Huh.

111
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: And so anyway, a US representative or senate or senator

112
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: or whatever, police know who that is, they might take

113
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: a hell of a.

114
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: Lot of crap from one of those people.

115
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 6: For so, yeah, there are all sorts of examples of that,

116
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 6: the capital of people, bad mouth in the capitol, police

117
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 6: and that sort of thing, throwing them under the bus

118
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 6: for their own mistakes.

119
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: God, you're really an awful person if you're a well,

120
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: if you have talked to really anybody like that, ing,

121
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: let alone a cop.

122
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, speaking of the affluent, this is interesting reading more

123
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 6: about the It's become a cliche the K shaped economy,

124
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 6: a term I'd object to because A is a cliche

125
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 6: and B it ignores the vertical line in the K

126
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 6: completely got an important component of the K.

127
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: Yes, another thought popped in him out about my last

128
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: story that I go aheadship. That was an interesting.

129
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 3: Thing that I'd never seen before, and I don't know

130
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: if I've ever actually witnessed it ever or else in

131
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: my life.

132
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: These two dudes.

133
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: A lot of what they were doing because there was

134
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: probably twenty five of us, including lots of really hot

135
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 3: girls standing around watching this. Their enjoyment was talking to

136
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 3: the cop that way and everybody's seeing it, and just

137
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: the display of look, look at the way I can

138
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: talk talk to a policeman. Oh yeah, and nothing is

139
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: going to happen to me.

140
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 6: That's like seven hundred pounds silver back pounding on its chest.

141
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, look at this, Look at this. I

142
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: can say anything I want to this guy. Nothing's going

143
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: to happen to me. That's how freaking cool.

144
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: I am.

145
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: Interesting personality thing, very typical common human nature. It's just

146
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: like it's it's like the why the dictator claims they

147
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: shot a hole in one on every hole of the

148
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: golf course. She's like, I can say this and nobody's going.

149
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: To stop me. Right. Yeah, that's a good point. Wow,

150
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: that's it.

151
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's disturbing because that sort of pre person rarely

152
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 6: ends up spreading more joy and goodness in their lives

153
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 6: than pain and misery and abusing. Anyway, back to the

154
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 6: so called K shaped economy, which again ignores the vertical

155
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 6: line in the K which is really critical. Uh So,

156
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 6: retail sales on Black Friday of four percent, similar to

157
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 6: last year's jump, but the datascued by wealthier families spending

158
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 6: more while households at the bottom quintile spending notably less.

159
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: According to Moodies.

160
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 6: In the second quarter of the year, which has got

161
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 6: nothing to do with Black Friday, but the top ten

162
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 6: percent accounted for fifty percent of consumer spending forty nine

163
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 6: point two, but some argue this is somewhat misleading, but

164
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 6: we won't get into that consumption remains overall really robust.

165
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 6: According to this one economist, My question I first heard

166
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 6: that stat was what is it normally? I always feel

167
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 6: like you got to put that in there, right, that

168
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 6: would be handy. Nope, Nope, they don't have that in there.

169
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 6: Rather than a Black Friday rush to mid price retailers

170
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 6: like Banana Republic, holiday shopping is clustered among budget options.

171
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: They mentioned Ross and Nordstrom rack. Oh, so you want

172
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,359
Speaker 1: to sweater? The rack is more mid priced.

173
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: But he wanted a sweater from Banana Republic. I didn't

174
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: even get your gap.

175
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: I got you old. Maybe that's how bad it is oof.

176
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 6: But the holiday shopping is clustered among budget budget options

177
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 6: like Ross et cetera, and luxury choices like mister Porter.

178
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 6: I don't know, mister Porter, mister Porter very very cool stuff.

179
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 6: And Sachs Fifth Avenue, Sachs, I know, uh. And then

180
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 6: the K shape extends beyond consumer spending. We've talked about this.

181
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 6: A handful of companies dominate business investment in corporate earnings

182
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 6: up to half of the US's GDP growth in the

183
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 6: first half of twenty twenty five, which was not great

184
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 6: was by AI related spending. Bank of America predicts that Microsoft,

185
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 6: Amazon Meta platforms in alphabet. Well, I've collectively invested three

186
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 6: hundred and forty four billion dollars in capital expenditures during

187
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five.

188
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 3: Just during twenty five, three hundred and forty four billion

189
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: dollars on AI.

190
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: Wow.

191
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 6: And as of this printing, in the stock market, the

192
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 6: magnificent seven of the aforementioned companies plus Apple In, Nvidia

193
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 6: and Tesla, accounted for more than a third of the

194
00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 6: S and P five hundred's total market capitalization, not the growth,

195
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 6: both the total market capitalization those seven companies.

196
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: That is a bubble. Wild. If it is a bubble,

197
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: when it pops, it's going to be noticeable. Yeah. Yeah.

198
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 6: And the thing those of us who follow the market

199
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 6: like about the S and P is it's much much

200
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 6: broader and more relevant than the DOO. The Dow is

201
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 6: a ridiculous and antiquated measure of anything. But you got

202
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 6: seven companies accounting for more than a third. That's that's

203
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 6: out of whack. You gotta get it back in whack.

204
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: Bubble, it's a bubble.

205
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 6: He's afraid of that. Here's a shocking fact for you.

206
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 6: We'll pay this off in a minute. Colombia's anti Semitism

207
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 6: task for us Colembia University found that among its Middle

208
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 6: East faculty, zero of them were pro Israel. Nice faculty, Columbia,

209
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 6: What a joke that more to come stay with us.

210
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: Well, I'll talk about this later.

211
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 3: National Reviews got a story about about the Seattle school

212
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: district and all the questions that they're asking kids on surveys.

213
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: In the schools without.

214
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: The parents really knowing that it's happening about their sexual

215
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: orientation and all that sort of stuff.

216
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: Way too young an age.

217
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: I don't know why you need to ask it at

218
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: any age really, because you're indoctrinating them.

219
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: My god, I hate them.

220
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 6: Also, one of the most eloquent defenses of Zionism I've

221
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 6: run into coming up in a couple of minutes, and

222
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 6: the report from Columbia about how they have zero faculty

223
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 6: that have anything nice to say about Israel. That seems

224
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 6: perfectly reasonable and balanced for a public university anyway, or

225
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 6: private whatever it is. First though, my eye was caught

226
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 6: by this. They're talking about the Kensington Avenue open air

227
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 6: drug market in Philadelphia, which they call the country's most

228
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 6: notorious San Francisco.

229
00:11:58,800 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: I think had that.

230
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 6: Wrapped up for a while around the Civic center assists. Man,

231
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 6: you could get anything all the time. Junkies everywhere. Watch

232
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 6: out for the poop. So is it Salvadorans selling drugs openly?

233
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 6: Cops had walk by. It's amazing. But so they're talking

234
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 6: about this Kensington Avenue in Philly. For years, the street

235
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 6: ran on heroin. Then the gang started putting fentanyl or

236
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 6: fetti in the dope. I didn't know fentanyl had any nickname,

237
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 6: but it's fetti.

238
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: Sounds cute. Get a little fetti in with your heroin.

239
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 6: Then came the animal tranquilizer zylazine jack, known simply as

240
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 6: tank trank. That's right, it'll rot your flesh right off

241
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 6: your limbs.

242
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: That's the one that puts holes in your legs. Delightful.

243
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 6: But wait, just when you thought there can't be any

244
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 6: more new drugs, there's a new one. Medatomidine medaomidine you know,

245
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 6: or something like that delivers a shorter, more powerful high

246
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 6: than the varieties of dope that preceded it, and the

247
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 6: crash is faster and more brutal. By some estimates, it's

248
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 6: two hundred times stronger than the trunk.

249
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 3: I tried the trunk and it put holes in my legs.

250
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 3: I'm looking for something that burns my eyeballs out of

251
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 3: the sockets.

252
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: Do you have anything like that?

253
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 6: Junkie Tony, who they interview, says, there's no stages to

254
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 6: the high, you go straight to sleep.

255
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: Well, wait a minute, I don't understand that.

256
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: That's like the trunk with the lean where I've seen

257
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: him in San Francisco where they're just leaned over up

258
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 3: against a wall.

259
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: Well, what kind of party is that?

260
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know what the withdrawal is from these

261
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 6: various things. Either I don't know to make up a

262
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 6: hit or stamp. According to the junkies, the dealers mix

263
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 6: the let's just.

264
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: Call it med with fentanyl.

265
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 6: U have a jackhammer, which continues to be the leading

266
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 6: cause of overdose death in the US. The drugs are

267
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 6: then packed in small paper wraps, each stamped with a

268
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 6: Cruise brand.

269
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: Hot Sauce is one drug. Cruise brand Pringles.

270
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 6: I see that's I'm sorry, that's a copyright infringement, Blackjack

271
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 6: or Sunshine. They cost two to five dollars depending on

272
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 6: the size.

273
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 3: Wow, you can get asleep, apparently is what their goal is,

274
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: leaning up against the wall with sores in your legs

275
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: for two bucks.

276
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: Right.

277
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 6: Then they talk to uh Christine, a forty one year

278
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 6: old Philadelphian who doesn't look at day over seventy. She's

279
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 6: more got more scabs than I have eyelashes. You, if

280
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 6: I do a certain stamp, I have to have that stamp,

281
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 6: she says. I try to do other stamps, it won't

282
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 6: get me. Well, wow, she's at that point of addiction

283
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 6: where she takes drugs just to feel even close to

284
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 6: normal and not horribly sick.

285
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: But your physical addiction is you've got to have the

286
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: particular blend of that.

287
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah.

288
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 6: By the way, she's suffered a mere five heart attacks

289
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 6: triggered by the med withdrawal. She said, so far forty

290
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 6: one she had five heart attacks.

291
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: So I'm doing the sunshine, and that's the kind that

292
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: I need to continue to do. I get a sunshine,

293
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: I'm getting notes of caramel, and then it's got a

294
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 3: chocolatey finish.

295
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

296
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 6: I'd throw up my back twisting my screen so that

297
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 6: you can see this poor woman. But she's sirious if

298
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 6: you were. It's like a stock photo from Soviet era

299
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 6: Russia where the seventy year old Babushka struggles to gather potatoes.

300
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: You know she looks like that, right. Five heart attacks? Yeah, wow,

301
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: good party.

302
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 6: The effects of each stamp very slightly from block to

303
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 6: block due to a variety of other adulterants, but usually

304
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 6: a result in abrupt unconsciousness and extreme sedation. You do it,

305
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 6: you wake up, you're sick. You don't even know you're

306
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 6: passing out. But this isn't like nodding off long Kensington Avenue.

307
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 6: People shuffling near catatonic states, bent at right angles, some

308
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 6: frozen mid stride.

309
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: That's the lean I'm gonna gord. And you get.

310
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: Withdrawal symptoms within two hours, exponentially more punishing than heroin.

311
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: Withdrawal exponentially more punishing, And you gotta be on it

312
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 3: within one hundred and twenty minutes.

313
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: Here you get withdraws.

314
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you got to use the same kind you

315
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 3: were using again, the blend that's got notes of chocolate

316
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: and a raspberry finish hot sauce.

317
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

318
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 6: Christine describes brain zapps vomiting many seizures, paralysis and even

319
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 6: violent swings and heart rate and blood pressure, hence her

320
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 6: quintuple infections.

321
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: Good.

322
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 3: She didn't mention scrammeting, though that is unique to that

323
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 3: one marijuana. It makes you scream and vomit at the

324
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 3: same time.

325
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 6: Oh more and more teens with that. I want to

326
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 6: talk about that maybe tomorrow.

327
00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: But if she.

328
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 6: Doesn't hustle enough cash to stay off withdrawal, she'll inevitably

329
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 6: have a heart attack and collapse on the street.

330
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: And you need it every two hours. Of course, the

331
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: upside is it's only two bucks. Nice lifestyle, armstrong and getty.

332
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 3: We can't go around just shooting people who are unarmed

333
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 3: adrift in the ocean.

334
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: It's a terrible thing. It's illegal, and it's in the world.

335
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 3: Rand Paul doing lots of interviews making the rounds. He

336
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: really doesn't like our current policy of blasting people in

337
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 3: the water off of the coast of Venezuela, which is

338
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: a very random Paul thing to do. And he might

339
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 3: be right.

340
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

341
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 3: Some courts should make a decision. Just came across an

342
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: article about they may introduce those drugs, gop one drugs,

343
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 3: that's like ero zempic and your zip bound and your

344
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 3: what are some of the other brand names.

345
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 6: It's like one Wigovy, Wigovy and.

346
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: Panera. Is that one of them? Now that's a bread

347
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: it is, that's right.

348
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, they're coming up with one for pets. You

349
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: got a fat dog or a fat cat. But the

350
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: National Review has an article today for the people version,

351
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: the dangers of weight loss drugs going mainstream.

352
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: Wows just when it seemed like a great idea. I

353
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: think this is I guess it's just a journalism thing.

354
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: Something becomes popular. You write an article about how this

355
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: could be bad. All right, because I read the whole

356
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 3: article and it doesn't convince me. But it's some interesting

357
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: information in here. Because i'd forgotten some of this stuff.

358
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 3: I didn't remember that. Kate Moss, who was one of

359
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 3: your famous skinny models of like the eighties and nineties,

360
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 3: nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. She was famous

361
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 3: for saying, I guess even though I've never heard that before.

362
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 3: The mattra, popularized by bone thin celebrities and touted by

363
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 3: teenagers with eating disorders, colored the way an entire generation

364
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: thought about weight, food, and exercise. Katie, you lost a

365
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 3: ton of weight yourself throughout the years. But you you've

366
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 3: I don't think you've ever said anything about like going

367
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: too far, being too skinny, or were you ever.

368
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 4: There was a point where yeah, I was a little

369
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 4: too skinny, but that was because I was so obsessed

370
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 4: with staying skinny and working out that it wasn't something

371
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 4: that I could continue to do.

372
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: But you had been quite overweight and had health problems. Yeah,

373
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 3: so it's a pretty good reason to be pretty obsessed

374
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 3: with staying thin.

375
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: So that's the problem with all this. I mean, yeah, you.

376
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 3: Know, if you if you have a heart attack and

377
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: your doctor says you got to lose weight, being pretty

378
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 3: obsessed with losing weight is that doesn't make you Kate Moss.

379
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't make you k Yeah, it doesn't make you Kate Moss.

380
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 3: When models in the twenty tens eight calorie free cotton

381
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: balls dipped in juice or gelatin to make their slips

382
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 3: feel full, what I had missed this? What you take

383
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 3: a cotton ball and dip it in juice or jello

384
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: to make your stomach feel No?

385
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't wow that. How did I never hear about that?

386
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: Well? I don't know if lots of people were doing it.

387
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: See that's the thing you get. That's what I heard

388
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 3: about it. Yeah, yeah, you get six hipsters in the

389
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 3: New York or LA that are doing it.

390
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: And women all across America.

391
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: No, no, not Actually, if you just look around, people

392
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 3: all across America are not overwhelmingly obsessed with being thin.

393
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 3: Based on my trip to Walmart last week. Well, I

394
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 3: do enjoy a nice mouthful of cotton balls, though. When

395
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 3: celebrities embarked on the Master Cleanse in the early two thousand,

396
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 3: a detox diet that consisted only of lemon juice, maple syrup, water,

397
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 3: and cayenne pepper. Right, you remember that when our former

398
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 3: newswoman announced with great fans fair she was going to

399
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 3: do that and made it till eleven am.

400
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: I think it was she'd make it to lunch the

401
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: first day. I remember that. Yeah, Jamie, you're a good person.

402
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he ca bad diet.

403
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 4: I think Beyonce started that whole thing, the cleanse, the lemon, honey,

404
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 4: cayenne giasco.

405
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: None of these crazes I'm reading from the National Review

406
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: provided enough essential nutrients to make her keep a person healthy.

407
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 3: Girls who ate cotton balls lost their hair and developed

408
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 3: gastro intestinal problems.

409
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: Master.

410
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 3: That's surprising Master cleansers passed out in the middle.

411
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: Of the day. That's what Jamie had had going. She

412
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: was like, I can't do this.

413
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 3: It's like an hour after we got off the air

414
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 3: the first day. Good for her, though she recognized it

415
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 3: was a bad idea. And then it talks about the

416
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: TV show The Biggest Loser in which all the contestants

417
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 3: game back the weight, which ended up being really really

418
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 3: good for the world because the studies they did on

419
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 3: The Biggest Loser stuff is what alerted us all to

420
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 3: the sad, sad fact that we have where we end

421
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 3: up genetically programmed for a certain weight and your body

422
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 3: goes into all kinds of conniption fits to make sure

423
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: you stay it that weight. And it's some of the

424
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 3: most depressing news I've ever gotten in my life, but

425
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 3: it certainly seems to be true. Wow, gen Z has

426
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: inherited a weight obsessed culture, one that social media has

427
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: is exacerbated. Photos and videos of idyllic bodies are streamed

428
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 3: into our mind so often. I mean, they've been saying

429
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: this since as a little kid, when those magazines on

430
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: the rack at the store.

431
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: And now it's social media stuff.

432
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, to girls willing to starve themselves, those

433
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 3: bodies are, at least for a time, an achievable norm.

434
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 3: I've always had a problem with animy because everybody on

435
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 3: every magazine cover has always been better looking than me.

436
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 3: And I don't know, I never thought about it that much,

437
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 3: and I wish to If you ask me, would you

438
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: like to look like them? Yeah, I'd really like to

439
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 3: look like them. But that's kind of the end of it. Yeah, yeah,

440
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 3: And it is for most people. So the problem with

441
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 3: all these things is what percentage of people have to

442
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 3: go off the nutty deep end on something for it

443
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 3: to be something that the rest of society should.

444
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 6: React to, right, or that the rest of us have

445
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 6: to refrain from from now on, you know, because some

446
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 6: people go way too far. I don't know, stupid, should

447
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 6: hurt buy the T shirt, armstrong and getdy dot com.

448
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 6: It's bad behavior leads to negative outcomes.

449
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: Enter weightlaw. It must enter weight loss drugs.

450
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 3: Gop Ones, originally intended to treat type two diabetes and

451
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 3: now used for weight loss, seem to su like a boon,

452
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 3: a game changer for obese people who need medical intervention.

453
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 3: To others, gop ones seemed like the next overhyped miracle drug.

454
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: Which I think it actually is. Yeah, how do you

455
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: talk over.

456
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 3: Hyped miracle drug when you're just talking about people eating

457
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 3: cotton balls tipped and kai and peppers or whatever. That's

458
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 3: not exactly an apples to apples comparison, all right, and

459
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 3: just overhyped miracles?

460
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 6: What does that even mean? This eye of the behold,

461
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 6: I think you're right the first time. It's the whole

462
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 6: all right. We've put out six articles about how great

463
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 6: something is. Now we need to start the backlash. Jenny,

464
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 6: you write some backlashy articles, right, could we have gone

465
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 6: too far? Go ahead, we'll do that.

466
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 3: Which, if marketed to the wrong subset of people, could

467
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: perpetuate the myth that's skinny is better than healthy skinny.

468
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 6: So don't, yeah, so don't, And that's wrong. Read a book,

469
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 6: read a magazine, hell, read a tweet.

470
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: If you don't know that, if.

471
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 6: You need proper nutrition, even if you're losing weight, you

472
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 6: don't know that, you're dumb. There's nothing I can do.

473
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: To help you.

474
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 4: And speaking of Kate Moss, her sister actually overdosed on ozempic.

475
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: Overdosed on yeah she was.

476
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 4: She wasn't heavy and the dosage of ozempic was too

477
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 4: high and she ended up in the hospital because of it.

478
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 3: Ugh. Well, my question remains, and this is not just

479
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 3: for this weight loss thing, it's really for everything. It's

480
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 3: just what percentage of people that are either nuts or

481
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, an addictive person, whatever

482
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 3: your deal is, have poor judgment or stupid What percentage

483
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: of people with anything does it need to reach before

484
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: we should considered a problem for the masses who aren't going.

485
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: To do this.

486
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 3: The masses of us see attractive people on magazine covers

487
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: or TV shows and just think it'd be cool to

488
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: look like that.

489
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: But I don't.

490
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 3: You just don't really ever think about it. It doesn't

491
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 3: take over your life. Yeah, you might try to be

492
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: more good looking. Certainly everybody likes to present themselves the

493
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 3: best they can.

494
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 6: But yeah, yeah, I think all of that's overblown it

495
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 6: and it just to even hint it.

496
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 3: Therefore, these so called miracle drugs are really scourge or

497
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: I mean, they don't state that in the article, I'm sure,

498
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 3: but that's the hinting at it.

499
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: You know, It's just I'm just thinking out loud.

500
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 3: But wouldn't it make more sense to say America would

501
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 3: be better off if many, many, many more people looked

502
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 3: at magazine covers and became really interested in losing.

503
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 6: The right Because the vast majority of those people would

504
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 6: end up in a much better place and be healthy.

505
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 6: There would be a very small minority who went too far,

506
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 6: starved themselves or whatever.

507
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: But that's no reason not to have you know.

508
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 6: It's like saying, don't evacuate the building that's on fire

509
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 6: because a certain number of people might step on a

510
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 6: nail or trip and falls.

511
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: Better that we all remain in place. Now, that's just

512
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: dumb again, It's stupid, should hurt.

513
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 6: You cannot regulate ninety five percent of society based on

514
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 6: the needs of the five percent who were too dumb

515
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 6: to help or crazy, you know, And I'm not and

516
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 6: I'm trying to be dismissive of like the young girl's

517
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 6: adolescents with eating disorders. It's a terrible, heartbreaking problem.

518
00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: Oh, it is horrible.

519
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 3: I got a friend and who have both their daughters

520
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 3: had eating distories, really really, really really awful.

521
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: But what percentage of people die.

522
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: From obesiti related illnesses every year compared to die from anarexia.

523
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 6: It's roughly a million to one. Yeah, right, exactly right.

524
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 6: So I don't need some magazine guy telling me, Joe,

525
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 6: don't get too excited about these JLP ones because some

526
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 6: people might go too far. Well, I'm not going to,

527
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 6: so stop shouting at me.

528
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 3: And I don't think that you can take in no

529
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: nutrients and be perfectly okay.

530
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 6: If I'm gobbling cotton balls and I'm beyond help from.

531
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: The newspaper article or whatever.

532
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that thing has been around for

533
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: ever my entire.

534
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: Radio career, These unrealistic images we put on television, what

535
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: are you talking about?

536
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 3: The better people in the village got more attention to

537
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 3: and you wish you looked like them.

538
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,719
Speaker 6: That reminds me of the ancient discussion about weather, and

539
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 6: I remember it was at the time Playboy magazine. If

540
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 6: some women really didn't like it because they felt like

541
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 6: all men would compare them to the chairy brushed right,

542
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 6: that's a small percentage of dope dudes don't deserve the

543
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 6: love of a good woman anyway.

544
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I don't know is how much.

545
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 3: How many things like this were just invented for talk

546
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 3: radio fodder. Practically maybe we're the reason for it, turning

547
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 3: the way back talk radio something to talk about on

548
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 3: a you know, a Wednesday afternoon while people drive to work.

549
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, I'm.

550
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: Unrealistic images Okay, but so that was your first blowback

551
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 3: article thus far on the new weight loss drugs, which

552
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 3: and I love National Review.

553
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: That was freaking week. Oh that's try freaking week.

554
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 6: We're probably going to prevent six hundred and fifty thousand

555
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 6: heart attacks this year, but there's five young women across

556
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 6: America who will take too much, like Kate Moss's dopey sister.

557
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: Fine.

558
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 6: Great, so a big country. We'll be okay, we'll finish strong, next.

559
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 5: Strong.

560
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 7: Australia just launched the world's first social media band for

561
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 7: everyone under sixteen years old, which includes TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.

562
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 7: That's yeah, it's a big deal. Who knew there was

563
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 7: someone under sixteen using Facebook?

564
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: You know.

565
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 6: I had that same reaction when I saw that list.

566
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 6: Oh no, not my Facebook said, no fourteen year olds?

567
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: Right.

568
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 6: Speaking of kids' attitudes about thing things, a new Pew

569
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 6: research report came out comparing data from nineteen ninety three

570
00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 6: and twenty twenty three about kids attitudes towards marriage, and

571
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 6: last month they put it out twelfth grade boys are

572
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 6: more likely than twelfth grade girls to say they want

573
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 6: to get married someday, a serious flip from three decades ago.

574
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: Boys plans for marriage really haven't budged.

575
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 6: They went from seventy six to seventy four percent in

576
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 6: that thirty years, But the girls have gone from eighty

577
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 6: three percent to sixty one percent in that time. That's

578
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 6: a pretty big drop. Yeah, they're and the title of

579
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 6: this piece, written by Emily Joshinski's pretty cool, right. It's

580
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 6: a marriage gap is growing and a good spell disaster.

581
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 6: The war on boys could be resulting in some women

582
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 6: shunning marriage. And it gets into the whole college educated

583
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 6: women often don't want to marry non college educated men.

584
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 3: But what just in culturally, who's pushing in a positive

585
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 3: way for women the idea of getting married and having kids?

586
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 3: Where where does that pop up in TV shows or

587
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 3: movies or classrooms or anywhere.

588
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it's practically practically a mono culture in that

589
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 6: way that it's all about staying independent and footloose and

590
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 6: not tying yourself to any man or kids in the

591
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 6: city interfere with your lifestyle and the rest of it,

592
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 6: and she goes into she actually worked with Christina Hoff

593
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 6: Summers on the re release of her landmark book The

594
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 6: War Against Boys, which came out in two thousand and

595
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 6: I read it, made a huge impression on me, and

596
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 6: they updated it in twenty twelve.

597
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: One of the reasons we're gonna be talking about the

598
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: boy Scotts a lot like.

599
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 6: Next week, right right, and she says, is Christina's intern

600
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 6: I was a university student surrounded by less rudderless men

601
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 6: with bubbling anger.

602
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: Rudderless men with bubbling anger.

603
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Hughes finding should be considered alongside an NBC

604
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 6: News survey published in September that found lifestyle preferences falling

605
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 6: along partisan lines.

606
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: I remember this.

607
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 6: Gen Z men who voted for Trump rate having children

608
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 6: is the most important thing in their personal different definition

609
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 6: of success number one. Gen Z women who voted for

610
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 6: Harris ranked having children as the second least important thing

611
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 6: in their personal definition of success.

612
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: Wow.

613
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 6: Unsurprisingly, young women are also more likely to identify as liberal,

614
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 6: and the margin is widening.

615
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: Dang it. Hmm.

616
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 6: You know I came across this other thing in a

617
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 6: related story. It's around here somewhere. But the antidepressants do

618
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 6: to teen sexual development, and girls are many times more

619
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 6: likely to be on antidepressants than boys. I like how

620
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 6: it opens. For once I thought it was you know.

621
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 6: Usually I hate when articles that they just present the facts.

622
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 6: Please and help me understand the story of I don't

623
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 6: need a personal anecdote. Usually Louisa's a single mother who

624
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 6: drives his Chevy. No, this article is about the price

625
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 6: of beans or whatever. I don't need to hear about Louisa.

626
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 6: Just tell me about the beans anyway. But this one

627
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,959
Speaker 6: made an impression on me. Marie began taking a fluoxetine,

628
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,680
