1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arms Strong

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: and Jetty and he Armstrong and Eddy.

4
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: You have the moderates and you have the lunatics. And

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: I think the moderates are more respected. The lunatics want

6
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: to fight till the end. You know, there will be

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: a very it will be a very quick fight.

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: But I call them you have just like our country.

9
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: We have lunatics too.

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 3: We have.

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: I call them lunatics.

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: I call them stupid people too.

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: But in around they have the moderates and dying to

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: make a deal, and then you have the lunatics. And

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: I guess they're a little bit afraid of the lunatics.

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: But uh, and why not the the level of ferocity

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: for protests. You know, the people are watching that they

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: want to go out on the streets. They have no weapons,

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: they have no guns.

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: Trump has such a unique speaking style. Uh the uh

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: sometimes known as rambling.

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 4: But they are, yeah, they are lunatics, and they are

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 4: very very violent lunatics. Anyway, Trump, and this is all

24
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 4: just in the last few minutes. Trump's taking questions in

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 4: the Oval office. He does this all the time. So

26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 4: he's got a bunch of women standing around behind him

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: and it's probably like you know, National Women at Work

28
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: Day or something like that. And they come into the

29
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: office and he signs some declaration. Then he takes questions

30
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: for reporters, and they got to stand there with smiles

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: on it on their faces. Well, he takes all kinds

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 4: of complicated questions, it says, crazy as.

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: The best one was last week when he had all

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: the little kids in for the presidential fitness thing and

35
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: he went on and on about in like a really blatant,

36
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: you know, graphic, hardcore way about the war with Iran. Yeah,

37
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: and in front of the kids who are standing their

38
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: wide eyed.

39
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: Anyway, more from Trump. You know, I'm willing to. I'm

40
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: willing to. It's a terrible expression. Take a bullet.

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: It's a terrible expression, especially when it's used by me.

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: I'm willing to take a bullet for the country. And

43
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: I said, look, this acquark is going to go down,

44
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: but we're going to have a threat of lunatics having

45
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 2: a lunatics having a nuclear weapon.

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: I deal with them. I deal with them.

47
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: I say it to them, I say, you people are crazy.

48
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: I deal with them, they talk differently.

49
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: I say, you're crazy, you're crazy people, you're nuts. You're

50
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: not having a nuclear weapon. They think they can totally

51
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: into it, and they don't do very well with it.

52
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: But well, they know how I feel. They can't have

53
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon.

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: They would use it within an hour after getting it.

55
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: You know, I wish he'd mix in a little religious fanatic.

56
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: Maybe he wants to stay away from that, but I'm

57
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: glad to hear his resolve is apparently unflinching as it is.

58
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 4: Sure seems to be on the whole they can't have

59
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 4: a nuclear weapon thing. Sure seems to be good, and yeah,

60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 4: he needs to be solid on that. But if you

61
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 4: didn't follow it over the weekend, the brief version is,

62
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 4: you know, we sent them our one page memorandum that included,

63
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: you don't get a nuke, We're gonna grab the UH

64
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 4: enriched uranium the straightens to be open. Their response was

65
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 4: we control the straight and we still get a nuke,

66
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 4: and Trump said, that's ridiculous.

67
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 3: I rejected wholeheartedly. So we'll see where it goes from here.

68
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: What do you think is happening behind the scenes. I

69
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: gotta believe.

70
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: It's a constantly changing, evolving situation where the players involved

71
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: don't even know who's got the power at any given moment.

72
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: Okay, behind the scenes there and iron I was. I meant, like,

73
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: among us and our allies, do you think we're getting

74
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: all our ducks in a row for a new round

75
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: of ass weapons?

76
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I mean.

77
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: Because anybody who sees a glimmer of hope in these

78
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: negotiations has better vision than I do. I mean, it's

79
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: just ridiculous. It's practically a parody of negotiations. I mean,

80
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: you just laid out quite accurately, folks, I'm here to

81
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 3: back jack. You laid out quite accurately the exchange of

82
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: proposals over the weekend. That sounds like a parody.

83
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really does of something you would call a negotiation.

84
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, I'd like to buy your car for

85
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: one dollar.

86
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm not selling my car for a dollar. Negotiations are ongoing, yeah,

87
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: or you.

88
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: Know, I'll offer you one dollar and you have to

89
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: throw in your wife. Well, the car costs fifty million

90
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: dollars and you have to cut off your hand, So

91
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: let's go st are ongoing exactly what Hey, different topic,

92
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: same theme though, I mean the same backdrop the war

93
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: in Iran. We've talked about this some. It's gotten a

94
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 3: lot of news coverage.

95
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: People who somehow are getting info and then being able

96
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: to trade stocks, particularly around oil, and making lots of

97
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: money having information the rest of us don't have.

98
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: ABC News took a look at this last night.

99
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 5: Sources tell ABC News the Justice Department is investigating two

100
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 5: point six billion dollars of suspiciously timed oil trades tied

101
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 5: to the Iran war. In at least four cases, oil

102
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: traders bet prices would drop right before they actually did.

103
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 5: Investigators now probing whether they'd received inside information.

104
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: So hint they did.

105
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 4: That's Trump's Justice Department that's looking into this. They go

106
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 4: on with the examples of people making trades right before

107
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 4: Trump comes out and makes an announcement.

108
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 5: On March twenty third, just fifteen minutes before President Trump

109
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 5: announced he would postpone attacks on Iron's power grid, traders

110
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 5: bet more than five hundred million dollars oil prices would

111
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 5: fall after the president's announcement.

112
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened.

113
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 5: Same story on April seventh, hours before Trump announced the ceasefire,

114
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 5: nearly one billion dollars in bets that oil would drop,

115
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 5: and it did. Twenty minutes before Iran announced the Strait

116
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 5: of Horror Moves would reopen, traders bet seven hundred and

117
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 5: sixty million dollars that oil would fall. It happened, And

118
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 5: on April twenty first, fifteen minutes before Trump extended the ceasefire,

119
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 5: four hundred thirty million dollars in bets came in and

120
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 5: paid off.

121
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: So this is not like.

122
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 4: All the nuclear scientists have disappeared in the last three years.

123
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 4: Here's Jim Jones is sixty two years old and died,

124
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 4: And no, this is not one of those you take

125
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 4: some random, random, danned data points and build a narrative

126
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 4: around that's just completely bs.

127
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 3: These people are actual psychics or we're getting inside information. Obviously,

128
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes here, twenty minutes. There are you that please

129
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: ease stop it. There was consensus or research or trends

130
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: or whatever, you'd have lots and lots of bets of

131
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: that sort kind of ramping up as you get within

132
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 3: a couple of days. Blah blah blah plays fifteen minutes

133
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: before the announcement.

134
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: Stop him.

135
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 4: Even if it was people who think Trump always tacos,

136
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 4: I'm willing to bet money on he always tacos. He

137
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: wouldn't wait until fifteen minutes before he comes out to

138
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 4: make his announcement.

139
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: Well right, And a lot of those announcements are not

140
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: even like promoted. Yeah, yeah, they're not scheduled per se. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

141
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 4: It's not a at nine o'clock today, Trump will announce

142
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: whether or not we're going to proceed with the war.

143
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: That's not the way they unfold, right right, Yeah, he

144
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: just out.

145
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: Of nowhere when the deadline was five o'clock tonight, all

146
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 4: of a sudden, he will in the Oval office like

147
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: he is right now. He'd say I'm going to extend

148
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 4: it for another two days, and people bet on that

149
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes before he said that. So, I mean that

150
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 4: is a hundred percent somebody got the heads up. The

151
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: only thing I don't get is if it's if Trump's involved,

152
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: why would he spread it around to wouldn't he keep

153
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: it tighter to people he knows family?

154
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: Maybe he is. I don't know. How many people do

155
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: they think are in I don't know. I don't know.

156
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: Man, that's a lot of money, Yes it is. Well,

157
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: there's something really really uncool.

158
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: Going on here.

159
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, clearly well, it's I'm sure folks are yelling at

160
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: their radio right now that that's become Well, here's a question.

161
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 3: I'm going to present this as a question of the

162
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 3: net worth of all of the rich people. To find

163
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: that how you want? Within twenty five miles of Washington, DC.

164
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 3: What percentage of that net worth is generated by insider

165
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: information about the functioning of government? Lots of it. It's significant. Yeah,

166
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: it's like oil is to Texas. I mean it's a chunk,

167
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: that's that's yeah.

168
00:08:59,559 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't know.

169
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 3: Hey, two hundred and fifty years is a good run.

170
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 3: There's no reason to be ashamed. It's like Tom Brady

171
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: retiring in his forties. It's disappointing, but let's be realistic.

172
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 3: We got two hundred and fifty good years.

173
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: I got a question for you, see if I can

174
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: find it here? So many texts today? Is this insider

175
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: trading question? The other day.

176
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: I wish I knew anything worth trading on. Boy, would I?

177
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 3: I would insider trade like a sumbitch.

178
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: See if I can find this they overheard something?

179
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: Are there any prediction markets on whether we will use

180
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: a certain word because I will sell out? I mean,

181
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: you come quant you name it probably the funniest.

182
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: Word in the English language. Come quant So somebody texted

183
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: me this the other day.

184
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: Hey, if I overheard the VP of a big oil

185
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 4: company telling a politician about a stock that may or

186
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 4: may not make money, is it insider trading? If I

187
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 4: buy the stock or just let eavesdropping? What if you

188
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 4: just they're not in the industry at all. Oh no,

189
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 4: they were just at a at a social.

190
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: Thing and apparently have good ears.

191
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any such thing as secondhand insider

192
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: trading because you are not. You know, they did not

193
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: intentionally share that information with you for the purpose of trading.

194
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: You just heard it.

195
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 4: That's what I said too, and I was hoping my

196
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 4: advice was correct and they don't end up in prison.

197
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 4: Sorry about that, I was wrong. You should have asked

198
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: Chad GBT instead of me a disc jockey.

199
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 3: If I'm outside an oil refinery and a guy runs

200
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: out saying it's a fire, it's gonna burn the whole

201
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: place down, and I trade on that, that's not insider trading.

202
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: That's observation, just keeping your ear to the ground exactly. Yeah,

203
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: trade away.

204
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: But if I.

205
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: Trade tens of millions of dollars with an oil stock

206
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes before Trump announces he's like stending a ceasefire

207
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: or something like that.

208
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: Uh, something's going on.

209
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 3: You know, I should I probably shouldn't admit to this

210
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: hanging end up in a cell next to Martha Stewart

211
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 3: many years ago a friend as usual, every story told

212
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 3: on the Armstrong and Yetty Show is entirely fictional.

213
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: This is an entertainment program.

214
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 3: A friend who is in why don't I say, Uh,

215
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: the automotive business said, take a look at my company's

216
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: stock now, it's a really good time to buy. We've

217
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 3: broken through on the blankety blank. Except it was more

218
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: vague than that. But you know, I'm.

219
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: Reasonable pretty insidery trading to me. I took.

220
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: I took the message. He essentially said, look, my company

221
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 3: stock is about to go away up.

222
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: And did you? And did it? I did some.

223
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 3: I didn't go heavily into it because I didn't have

224
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 3: very much money, but uh, it went up a very

225
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: little bit for a while. Then it went down again,

226
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 3: and I think was below the level had been when

227
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 3: I bought it. Taken out of insider trading. Ever, thanks

228
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: for nothing, no if with my insider trading guy ended

229
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: up with less money. That's no good. Maybe he was

230
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 3: selling the stock short. It was a pump and dull

231
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: was the jump.

232
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: He's going around talking out of the side of his mouth.

233
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: Everybody can find he's at the bagel place.

234
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: So I work for ACME Industry, and I'm just just

235
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: just letting you know.

236
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: We gotta pick up truck. It's four hundred miles per gallon.

237
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: Bye bye, pumping nump jump. That's right, that's how it goes.

238
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: Anything.

239
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 4: Well, he told me out of the side of his mouth,

240
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 4: so it must be pretty uh pretty secret.

241
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: Stuff coming up.

242
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: Mentioned this a couple of times, finally going to clear

243
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 3: away a little time for it. The unbelievable, well unbelievable

244
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 3: that we're is used to incorrectly, or at least I did,

245
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: the utterly predictable and perfectly believable flow of taxpayer revenue

246
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: from blue states to red states.

247
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: Who would have predicted that, Oh we did, We got

248
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: lots on the way. Stay there.

249
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 4: Tina Charles, the WNBA's all time leading rebound announced that

250
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 4: she is retiring. Charles credits her rebounding success to w

251
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 4: NBA players missing a lot.

252
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: I thought that was funny. Wow, it's bad basketball.

253
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: Was that punchline sorted talking about eating challenges because my

254
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: son wants to do one this summer, something on vacation

255
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 4: where you go where you get a T shirt or

256
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 4: your picture on the wall or something like that. Wow,

257
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 4: this is one of those that nobody's ever done, so

258
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 4: but I just thought it was still interesting. It's it's

259
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 4: a It's at a place called That Bar in Danville, California,

260
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: which isn't that far from me. I like the name

261
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 4: of the bar, That Bar, and they have a that burger.

262
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 4: It's roughly a foot in diameter with two angus patties,

263
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 4: one of which has a hole in the middle holding

264
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 4: a grilled cheese sandwich.

265
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I like that as a touch.

266
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 4: Drill a hole in the middle of one of the

267
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 4: patties and fill it with the grilled cheese.

268
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: Who thought of that?

269
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 4: I don't know, topped with four cheeses, cheddar American pepper

270
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 4: jack and Swiss and a woven bacon patty.

271
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: I've got a picture of it if you would like

272
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: to see it. There's a lot there. Yeah, I mean,

273
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, just the description.

274
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 4: Well, here's a picture of it, and you got to

275
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 4: notice the guy behind him for behind the burger for

276
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 4: a little perspective.

277
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: That is a large burger. No, that's a big but

278
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: so another option. Did you say nobody's eating that though? Yeah, exactly.

279
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. Kind of takes the fun out of it.

280
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 3: I mean it's huge, obviously, but if somebody ate the

281
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: what was the steak with the legendary steak from Texas?

282
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 4: I mean ninety six it was completely undoable and somebody

283
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 4: did it. Twelve percent of people do it.

284
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: Wow.

285
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 4: There's a place called the Kitchen Sink San Francisco Creamer.

286
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: It's an ice cream place and it's in Walnut Creek.

287
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 4: Actually eight extra large scoops of ice cream, three bananas, Wow,

288
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 4: toasted almonds, cherries, and a mountain of whip cream. The

289
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 4: whipped cream it actually be the hardest part from me. Oh,

290
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: served in an actual sink style bowl. You finish it

291
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 4: in thirty minutes. You get the meal free and a

292
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 4: commemorative T shirt on the wall of fame. And people

293
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 4: do it semi regularly. So the last person to do

294
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 4: it the fastest did it in nineteen minutes. But it looks,

295
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 4: it looks doable, but you would feel horrible. So I

296
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 4: think that might be our best bet to early early opportunity.

297
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, something one in tennish strikes me is the real

298
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: sweet spot for a can.

299
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: You eat it you get a T shirt?

300
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: I agree, Probably doable, but really hard because if half

301
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 4: of people do it, it's not that. If nobody does it,

302
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 4: there's just no point.

303
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the old ninety six er.

304
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: You've probably heard about the quadruple bypassed Burger. This's got

305
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 4: a lot of attention when it first came out. If

306
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 4: the heart attack Grill in Las Vegas, everybody thought it

307
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: was just so politically.

308
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: It was brought to you by a chick dressed as

309
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 3: a nurse, right, Yeah, four half pound patties cooked in lard,

310
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 3: topped with eight slices of cheese and piles of caramelized onions.

311
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 4: Challengers wear a hospital gown, and finishers get wheeled out

312
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 4: in a wheelchair.

313
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: And the yeah, the waitresses are dressed as nurse is

314
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: so Vegas. It's perfect. It's perfectly horrifically American.

315
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 4: And perfectly fine. Sure, if you want to do that

316
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: sort of thing.

317
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: Heart disease actually claims one hundred thousand lions a blah

318
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 3: blah by it'll be fine. We joke about the things

319
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: we fear, and we eat giant burgers.

320
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 4: I like the idea of drilling a hole in one

321
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 4: patty and putting a grilled cheese seandwhich are there for

322
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 4: no reason whatsoever.

323
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: A grilled cheese sandwich. That's odd.

324
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: So they're calling it the biggest wealth transfer in American history,

325
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 3: and it's not the usual one. I'm talking about thieving

326
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 3: from our children by overspending our tax dollars and accumulating

327
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 3: horrific debts. It's not happening on Wall Street. It's happening

328
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: in U hauls. We'll tell you about the tax dollars

329
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 3: and leaving the Blue States and heading to the Red ones.

330
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty. So the things we've learned.

331
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 4: Don't run onto tarmacs in the middle of the night

332
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 4: at major airports.

333
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 3: Well, if you run onto it, don't stay there. Don't

334
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 3: bird watch in landfills in Argentina. These are all things

335
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 3: we've learned.

336
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: Wow, if you.

337
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 3: Missed our rant about how mind bogglingly inexplicably stupid the

338
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 3: media is fixation on hantaviruses, it was in an earlier hour.

339
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: Grab it the.

340
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 3: Podcast Armstrong and gettyon demand, Michael, get the price is

341
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: right clip ready for us for a little A couple

342
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 3: of moments from now, I'm gonna be talking about money,

343
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 3: and this is you know, I was trying to describe

344
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 3: or trying to figure out how to present this, and

345
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 3: it occurred to me as I'm walking back to the

346
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: studio that.

347
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: This is either so obvious.

348
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: To you you can't understand why it would have to

349
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 3: be explained, or you can't accept it at all.

350
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: To me, explaining how.

351
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 3: A lot of blue states had made it so difficult

352
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 3: to conduct business and taxed people of high earning levels

353
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 3: so aggressively that they're leaving and they're losing revenue, It's

354
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: like somebody said to me, you know, I had a

355
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: friend and I like to punch it on the face randomly,

356
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,719
Speaker 3: and sometimes i'd poke his eyes and I really enjoyed that,

357
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 3: and now he won't call me back. It's like, well,

358
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 3: of course, well, here's a financial guru cominging. This is

359
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 3: the biggest wealth transfer in American history. Not happening on

360
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: Wall Street. It's happening on U hauls. Over two trillion

361
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: dollars in income fled high tax Blue states for low

362
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: tax red states in just the last eleven years, essentially

363
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 3: the Trump and Biden years, and the Blue states solution,

364
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 3: he points out, is to raise taxes again.

365
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: But it's really quite stunning. The thirty one Trump.

366
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 3: States have gained two point two billion dollars in earner revenue,

367
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: just earnings, and the Harris states including d C, have

368
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: lost just short of two billion dollars. In fairness, there

369
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: are a few Blue states like Colorado, Washington, Oregon that

370
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 3: have gained a little bit of income, partly because a

371
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 3: lot of folks are fleeing California to those states because

372
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: they like the West coast or the West in general,

373
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 3: and they think, well, it's probably less bad. But yeah,

374
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got the five worst. Maryland the lost

375
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty billion this small print, and I'm

376
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 3: old New Jersey lost two hundred and twelve billion, Illinois

377
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: left three hundred and ninety nine billion in earnings, California

378
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 3: five hundred and three billion, and New York New York, Mom, Donnie,

379
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: six hundred and sixty billion dollars. And a lot of

380
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: that is backloaded toward more recently.

381
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 4: And that's why you got the governor, I guess talking

382
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 4: about how it's unpatriotic to not stay and pay your taxes,

383
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 4: which is one.

384
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: Of the craziest theories I've ever heard.

385
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 3: And her one Bizarro statement that you ought to you

386
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 3: want to help a country in the New York go

387
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: down to Palm Beach and drag people back.

388
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: How would that work? Exactly?

389
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: But a couple at least, well just a billionaire big wigs.

390
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: If you're in the finance you probably know the names

391
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: Ken Griffin, Mark Rowan. They're taking thousands of jobs out

392
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 3: of the Big Apple and moving out, as quote a

393
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: direct consequence of Mayormon Donnie's tax the rich antics, and

394
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 3: there are serious fears in New York that a big

395
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: money exodus is on the way. Mamdonnie poked Griffin. You

396
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 3: may recall this. He did a video outside Griffin's place

397
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: in New York in Midtown. He used it as a

398
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 3: backdrop to drum up support for a proposed tax on

399
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 3: luxury second homes in the city and actually named Griffin

400
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: and everything. An appalled Griffin first threatened to scrap a

401
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: big giant development on Park Avenue, then told CNBC on

402
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 3: Tuesday that the creepy video spurred him to expand his

403
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 3: firm's hub in Florida. Quote, we will add far more

404
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 3: jobs in Miami over the next decade as an immediate

405
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 3: and direct consequence of the mayor's poor decision here with

406
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 3: respect to his posting of that video.

407
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: And is blah blah blah.

408
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: It's many New York leaders, including Governor hoekle Of publicly

409
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 3: and privately warned Mundani's rabble rousing is going to cause

410
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: even more and more of this, So I won't bother

411
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 3: with the other guy's story. But it's thousands of jobs

412
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: and billions of dollars in revenue which can be taxed there.

413
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 4: So we've all heard the joke, proposition, thought experiment, whatever

414
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 4: it is. Where how about we divide into two countries,

415
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 4: you know, the conservatives and the socialists of the people

416
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 4: on the left, and we'll see how we're all do

417
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 4: it in ten years.

418
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: It looks like we're maybe kind of trying that. Yeah, yeah,

419
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: because the Blue States people are leaving.

420
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 4: Not only are they high tax, they're high services, And

421
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 4: how are you going to pay for those right.

422
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: And enormous pension liabilities? And when those evil birds come

423
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 3: home to roost, what are they going to do? Raise

424
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 3: taxes again? I'm the quote unquote rich. You need to

425
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 3: pay their fair share. Finally, you can find anybody. A

426
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: couple of interesting stats. Texas and Florida continue to draw

427
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 3: the largest number of new residents, but South Carolina, where

428
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 3: I spend a great deal of my time, is growing

429
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 3: faster than any other state as a percentage as more

430
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 3: Americans continue to relocate across the country. This is all,

431
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: according to IRS data, broad shift towards the South. You've

432
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: heard about that, as Americans say they're making the move

433
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: for lower taxes, more jobs, higher quality of life. South

434
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 3: Carolina saw the biggest influx per capita, equal to just

435
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: over one percent of its population.

436
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: In what's the time period of that. Surely that can't

437
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: be a year.

438
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 4: And the worst thing is if you I want to

439
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: discover someplace that doesn't ever catch on, because I've been

440
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 4: places before they catch on.

441
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then everybody comes and rootins it. Yeah, yeah,

442
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: that does.

443
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 4: Californians come and want to change the laws for some

444
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 4: weird reason.

445
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 3: I don't remember the Idaho Oh my god, yeah, don't California.

446
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 3: My eye ho slash Colorado slash Texas.

447
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: For what it's worth.

448
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: Back to that first, that first chart a South Cakilac,

449
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 3: which is not a huge state, but with the influx

450
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 3: of residents, they gain more than twenty nine thousand new

451
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 3: tax filers and roughly four point one billion dollars in

452
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 3: income for a smallish state, and they mentioned this shift

453
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: is likely to boost local economies in the state as

454
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 3: new residents bring spending power and help fill open jobs

455
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 3: and growing industry. Not to mention tax revenue. Texas and

456
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: Florida are big, so they're much so they're the number

457
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 3: one terms of sheer people. But Texas led with oh

458
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: these are twenty twenty three, which is last numbers that

459
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: the IRS has ready fifty six thousand, four hundred and

460
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 3: seventy three new residents, followed by Florida with fifty five

461
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 3: thousand or so. The gains come with some of the

462
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 3: nation's most expensive states, which are run by Democrats, are

463
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 3: seeing the Biggs losses. California is down more than one

464
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 3: hundred thousand tax filers, not people.

465
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: Tax filers.

466
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good way to count tax fire filers

467
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 4: as opposed to if you're growing through illegal immigration or

468
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 4: whatever else.

469
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: In New York, by nearly seventy two thousand tax filers

470
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: as South Carolina, for instance, gained twenty nine thousand.

471
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: You know what topic I haven't heard anybody bring up.

472
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 4: So we thought when COVID hit and a lot of

473
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 4: people went zoom, and there was some belief there for

474
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 4: a while that that might be permanent, that people would be.

475
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: Able to.

476
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 4: Move wherever they wanted, at least out of urban centers,

477
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 4: and that sort of stuff might restructure everything. That didn't

478
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 4: work out because so many places have decided, nah, we

479
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 4: like it better when you're here at work and all.

480
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: That sort of stuff.

481
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 4: But if AI happens the way they predict it, and

482
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 4: nobody's working and everybody's got you know, universal high income

483
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 4: or whatever, and you just don't have a job flat

484
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 4: at all, wonder what that will do to the distribution

485
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 4: of people around the country. I mean, if you not

486
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: only do you not have a zoom job, you don't

487
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 4: have a job at all, you really could live wherever

488
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 4: the hell you want.

489
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, wonder what that will do to society.

490
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, this gets back to our thought experiment of

491
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago about what would a an

492
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: economy look like if there's no scarcity. But of course

493
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 3: they're not making more land as they say, maybe you

494
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 3: can develop plan, but I mean, so everybody would want

495
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 3: to live in San Diego, right, I mean, because it

496
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 3: would probably come down to climate and scenery and recreation

497
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 3: and that sort of thing.

498
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't know when people choose different stuff.

499
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 3: I guess true enough, But if it gets too crowded,

500
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 3: the pleasure drops, right, and if it gets too expensive,

501
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 3: I mean, you just scarcity will always exist when it

502
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 3: comes to you know, only one guy can live in

503
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: the penthouse at the top of a building.

504
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 4: Right, So I just I've never heard anybody even brush

505
00:26:58,880 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 4: up against this topic.

506
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 3: But if everybody, you know, maybe I should hit my

507
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 3: AI with this instead of the other thing I asked it,

508
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 3: which was what would an economy with no scarcity look like?

509
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: And the things like, dude, you're blowing my mind. If

510
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 3: everybody made grossed a million dollars a year, you'd have

511
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 3: to make two million to gross a million, roughly. But

512
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 3: if everybody just got a million dollars a year, where

513
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 3: would you live?

514
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: What would the housing market look like?

515
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 4: Wouldn't they start charging one hundred and fifty thousand dollars

516
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 4: for a car though, because everybody has.

517
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: So much money, and who's going to build it.

518
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 3: Dude's like if you I'm not building your house, I

519
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: got a million dollars a year. Well, right, working robots, Oh, robots, Yes,

520
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 3: But I mean okay, So I don't know. Maybe you

521
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 3: know we were talking about South Carolina or like, we

522
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 3: love this Sierra Nevada, the beautiful mountains of northern California.

523
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 3: We had a place for a long time in the

524
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: Gray Eagle area, which is beautiful. It's up in It's

525
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: sparsely populated Uba County if you want to google it.

526
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 3: But if everybody could afford to build like a home

527
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 3: with an unbelievable view there, it would no longer be

528
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: it correct. It would be a completely different place. So,

529
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 3: I mean choked with traffic, the idea of some of

530
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 3: those little mountain towns being you know, like, yeah, don't go, honey,

531
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 3: it's rush hour. It'll take an hour to get across town.

532
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: What does that look like? I don't know. I don't

533
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: understand how this works.

534
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, neither does anybody else. But we got to beat China,

535
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 3: It's all I know.

536
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: Damn Chinese.

537
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: Has there ever been less certainty about what five years

538
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: will look like the middle of World War Two?

539
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't even think then, uh, how don't you know

540
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: what fascist regimes look like.

541
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're a Jew in the middle of

542
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 3: world or too, you might be pretty nervous about it.

543
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 4: But Dan, we and we, you know, the free world

544
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 4: recognized pretty early on we're gonna win.

545
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: It's just gonna take a long time, and it's gonactly.

546
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 4: So now, I don't think there's ever been a period

547
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 4: of history where and not like completely restructure society right

548
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 4: in a way you can't even imagine where you're having

549
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 4: these kind of stoner conversations.

550
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 3: I just well, right, because yeah, my idiotic grasping for

551
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 3: an example, you had an idea what housing would be,

552
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: what middle of World War two?

553
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 4: I got a fourteen year old and a sixteen year old.

554
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 4: My fourteen year old five years will be nineteen. We

555
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 4: have no idea what the world's gonna look like.

556
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: What do you tell a kid to do? Study your

557
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: uh something.

558
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 4: Something or it might be a complete waste of time,

559
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 4: and I mean a complete waste of time. Does you

560
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 4: know value whatsoever to learn the things you're learning?

561
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 3: Work on your foot speed and gun fighting skills might

562
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 3: be right for the coming utopia, the mad Max utopia,

563
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 3: my or it's gonna be valhallan. Everybody's gonna be happy

564
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 3: just sitting around, strumming guitars and rowing the poetry for

565
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 3: whom nobody wants to hear it. Everybody's writing poetry. If

566
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: everybody's a poet, no one's a poet. My youngest has

567
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 3: interest and wants to do stuff. But my oldest said,

568
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna party all the time. It's gonna be awesome.

569
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: Mmm. So he's just looking forward to it. He's gonna

570
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: he's hoping.

571
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 4: He's going to get out of high school and be

572
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: a year or two away from me.

573
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,719
Speaker 1: Everybody gets a check. Can you just hang out with

574
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: your friends? What are you doing today? Going to the

575
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: beach or the forest or wherever you live mountains.

576
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 4: To the bar every day for the rest of your life.

577
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 3: Maybe that Hennessy sounds great? Signed Jimmy Hendrix. Say that

578
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 3: to him, he'll be like, what who Wow? How about

579
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: sounds great? Jimmy Buffett, who did it his whole life?

580
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 3: Oh no, Jimmy Buffett worked like a fiend. He is

581
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 3: walking around barefoot, drinking margerita. He pretended to be that.

582
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 3: It was all why.

583
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 4: Okay, we will finish strong next.

584
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 6: I know how to pay the bills as a Democrat

585
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 6: right now, and my colleagues and people that are running

586
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 6: whether for the Senator, the House, they are literally running

587
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 6: on Trump and it's absurd, and we were getting to

588
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 6: that point and I refuse to engage in that extreme

589
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 6: those terms. We have to find a better way forward.

590
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 4: That's Fetterman, Senator Fetterman of Pennsylvania, him of the hoodie

591
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 4: who we couldn't have hated more when he ran for office,

592
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 4: and he said thought.

593
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: John Fetterman would be the adult in the room.

594
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: And he ends up being every Republican's favorite Democrat. He's

595
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 4: almost certainly either not going to run or if he is,

596
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 4: he's going to lose in Pennsylvania as a Democrat. And

597
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 4: he has said specifically he will not become a Republican

598
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 4: because he's not a Republican. So, I mean he votes

599
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 4: with the Democrats like ninety percent of the time or

600
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 4: something like that, but he doesn't have the same views

601
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 4: on Israel and all kinds of different things.

602
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: He's not woke. He's just the liberal.

603
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly here he is talking about communism getting more popular.

604
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 7: But the idea that communist is not a dirty word

605
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 7: I think we need to pause here and say, Okay,

606
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 7: this is a water mark. This is a watershed mark,

607
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 7: a moment in American history where we should pay attention.

608
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 7: And my guess is communism is only going to get

609
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 7: more popular.

610
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 6: I sure hope not, because bad ideas refused to die

611
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 6: and now that's coming back, and a lot of this,

612
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 6: the Trump and the backlash is making more and more

613
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 6: things possible in the Democratic Party. And I'm consistently going

614
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 6: to resist that kind of extremes and those extremes that

615
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 6: cost us in twenty twenty four. We all have to

616
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 6: remember that we need to have an election against both sides.

617
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 6: We're accountable for both sides.

618
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 4: The fact that communism has gotten more popular, and Bill

619
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 4: Maher and Senator Fetterman both agree it's probably going to

620
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 4: continue to get more popular is horrifying.

621
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, the politics of envy, which is you know, your socialism,

622
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 3: democratic socialism, blah blah blah, that's what animates.

623
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: All of it. Super popular right now.

624
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 3: It just always leads to the same place, which has

625
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 3: shared Miseryes Churchill and Thatcher and Soul and anybody with

626
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,960
