Speaker 2: I do this. He said, you know what it is?

14
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: Climate change? So why is that to the general manager?

Speaker 1: It is absolutely hilariously clear nowt anybody with any sense

16
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: that climate change is the all purpose, vague, fuzzy goal

17
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: that gets you elected. Then when I become president or governor,

18
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to fight climate change.

19
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: Yay sae all the soft heads. And then once you're

20
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: in office, it's the all purpose excuse.

21
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: The economy tanked under my watch, Well, it's because of

22

Speaker 3: fires and everything like that. So we'll bring you a

29
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: little headlines on the news on that. But it ain't good.

30
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: No, no, it's the worst. It's an awful break. Yeah.

31
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: I was talking to some did not talking texting with

32
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: somebody yesterday. I know in the Pasadena area who uh

33
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 3: has been out of their house now for a week

34
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: and a half.

35
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: It hasn't burned down.

36
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: But so even that, even the the what is it,

37
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: hundreds of thousands of people that have had leave their spots.

38
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: So even if your house didn't burn down, you're in

39
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: a hotel or with friends or something somewhere all of

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: a sudden.

41
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, however many minutes to pack.

42
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: How amazingly disruptive would that be, especially if you have kids.

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: I really can't even imagine how I'd be dealing with that.

44
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: You gotta go to work, You still got bills to

45
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 3: pay and stuff.

46
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: We got to get the kids to school, presuming that

47
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: our schools are open as most are this week.

48
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: Last week nothing was open, right, so.

49
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: They got the pete Haggsith confirmation hearing going on today,

50
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 3: and that'll be a big hullaballoon Washington, DC. And if

51
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: anything exciting happens while we were on the air, we'll

52
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 3: bring you the fireworks. I imagine there will be some

53
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: grand standing e fireworks on one side or the other,

54
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: some of them maybe even true.

55
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: Sure, And they're a handful of swing votes as well,

56
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: decent to honorable senators who just want to get their

57
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: questions answered. To this, it's a very difficult to predict

58
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: the outcome of this one.

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 3: I am somewhat annoyed today with it was really exceptionally

60
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: obvious day where I took in ID taken a lot

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 3: of news from a lot of different sources, and if

62
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: I had only chosen one of the sources, any of them,

63
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: I would have a completely different view of some of

64
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: the major stories than if I had chosen only that

65
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: other one or that one. And I just that's just

66
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: no way to run a railroad. No, most people, I'm

67
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: doing this because it's my job. Must you don't have

68
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: time to check like four different sources every day on

69
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: every story and then do some research behind that to

70
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: try to figure out what's real or not It's amazing

71
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: how different a story can be.

72
00:03:59,320 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: No, no wonder.

73
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 3: Run into people all the time who have this view

74
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: of a story or this view of some issue, and

75
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: you're like, what because strongly held of course today they

76
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: took in information, they listened, they read that newspaper or

77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: watched that Gable news show or whatever, and it's completely

78
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: different than the one that you took in.

79
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: It means it's stunning.

80
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Well, I would like to think that that's why we

81
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: are performing something of a service to mankind here doing

82
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: what we do.

83
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: Welcome new listeners.

84
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: By the way, we're debuting on a handful of stations

85
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: around America. I think today we appreciate you being here.

86
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: We a beg of you have some patience. This is different.

87
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: This is different than what you are used to in

88
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: a number of regards, style, approach, perhaps the language we use.

89
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: The There is the question of quality that's different too.

90
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: But anyway, welcome to the Armstrong and Getty Show. Hope

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: you enjoy it.

92
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: First of all, where are we going on today? A

93
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: couple of fabulous stations in beautiful New Hampshire. It's just wonderful.

94
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: I love the Northeast. Yeah, dirt, So do you have

95
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: a particular example of a story that you saw through

96
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: several different windows today.

97
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: First of all, your taglines of serving mankind or something

98
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 3: doing a service for mankind, presenting a service for mankind,

99
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: the Armstrong in Giddy Show. I like that, yeah. And

100
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 3: then I also like when you have new customers saying

101
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: be patient. I feel like if I went to a

102
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: restaurant and they said, if you don't like the food,

103
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: be patient, I might say I need to go to

104
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 3: the bathroom. Then I'd walk to my car and leave.

105
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 3: I disagree subtly.

106
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: It's it's not oh no, it's it's we're offering, like

107
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, Asian, Indian, South African fusion food.

108
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: It's different than what you're used to. Gotcha for to try,

109
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, Okay, got you? Yes, Michael.

110
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 4: I was just thinking Joe describing the radio show as

111
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 4: different finger quotes.

112
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: It's not exactly appealing. Oh wow, everybody's a critic. How's

113
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: your new boyfriend? He's different? All right, Perhaps we should

114
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: just plunge on with the content.

115
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: I'm trying to be patient, all going to be so disagreeable.

116
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: See if I can come up with any qualities in him.

117
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: One that I enjoy, he says, I will if I

118
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: just am patient. Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong.

119
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: He's Joe Getty ONMOS. It is Tuesday, the fourteenth of January.

00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: the show officially.

125
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: Now according to FCC rules and regulations, I'd still like

126
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: to hear the example of the story that sparked your

127
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: interest there.

128
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: But anyway, here we go.

129
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 5: At Mark, we anticipated that this was going to happen,

130
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 5: and these are the criminals.

131
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: These are the.

132
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 5: People who are seeking to exploit this tragedy for their

133
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 5: own benefit. Today we're here to announce that the promise

134
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 5: that we made when we started this that these criminals

135
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 5: would be arrested, they would be prosecuted, and they will

136
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 5: be maximally punished, is a we are keeping.

137
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: I hope, So I hope.

138
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 3: So you know my teenage crush, Justine Bateman, who had

139
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: tweeted out she was the star of Family Ties back

140
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 3: in the day, and I thought she was so dankry.

141
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: She's Jason Bateman's sister. That is maybe yeah, yeah, they're

142
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: brother and sister child stars. Anyway, she has become this

143
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: like right wing Twitter person. But she said, you set

144
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: the culture for years in California. First of all, anybody

145
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: come here and if you're illegal, you can commit crimes

146
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: and we will.

147
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: But yet, and you can.

148
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: Steal and do whatever you want, and nobody's going to

149
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 3: prosecute you. And then you're surprised if there's looting.

150
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, well, I tell you what, this

151
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: is a good day, a good moment. That was the

152
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: new district Attorney, Nathan Hawkman, who replaced the utterly awful

153
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: Marxist George Gascone in La County. The people finally have

154
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 1: had had had enough of this guy's act. We cannot

155
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: prosecute our way out of the desperate that we have.

156
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: You know what we can do.

157
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: We can prosecute our way out of looting. A couple

158
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: of beatings wouldn't be a misplaced either.

159
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: Not to you, folks. Don't take a lot onto your

160
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: own hand.

161
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: You can prosecute your way out of lots of things,

162
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: lots and lots of crime. For one thing, you rotten

163
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: piece of garbage.

164
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: He's gone.

165
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 3: I hope they got the infrastructure to follow through on that.

166
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: Catch people, prosecute them, actually put them in jail. Word

167
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: gets around. Hey they're arresting people again. Oh really, Well

168
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed that whole not getting arrested thing when

169
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 3: I stole. But hopefully that's over. We should start We

170
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: started the show officially, we should move on. How's mail bag? Look,

171
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 3: it's coming together cool. And I can give you an

172
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 3: example of media coverage of the pete hegseeth hearing, for instance,

173
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 3: and the different sides of it, very different sides of

174
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: it depending on who you're reading or listening to, which

175
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: is frustrating. So we got all that coming up today.

176
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: Oh we're talking to Tom McClintock, are we not.

177
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, longtime California congressman and a guy on the Natural

178
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: Resources Committee in Congress. He knows everything about forests and

179
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: water and you name it.

180
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 2: Longtime friend of the show.

181
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 3: And you got this big fire in SoCal and he

182
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal. We're going

183
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 3: to talk about a little bit. Yeah, let's talk about

184
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 3: the road that got us here. All that stuff coming

185
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: up today. Text line four one KFTC.

186
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: I just checked out on my favorite political newsletter see

187
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: what they had to say about the exit hearings today.

188
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: And it is going to be lots of really long speeches,

189
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: like lots before they ever get to the questioning, which

190
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 3: is where the fire fiery stuff's going to happen. So

191
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 3: it could be a while. Who knows, might take a day.

192
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. Uh yeah, who knows.

193
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: Ah, here's your freedom loving quote of the dead.

194
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 2: Not cool because I love freedom. I'm gonna go with this, uh.

195
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: Sent along by alert listener Paul from vold Hair.

196
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: It is it is clear that the individual who person

197
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: can I have a second on that? Well, go ahead

198
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: this one at the last minute. I did in preread it.

199
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: It's very fine font and I'm an older man there.

200
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: It is.

201
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: It is clear that the individual who persecutes a man

202
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: his brother because he is not of the same opinion

203
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: is a monster.

204
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: Okay.

205
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: I would say yeah, to aggressively argue your position and

206
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: to perhaps point out aggressively the foolishness of another is

207
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: fair game. But the cancel culture trying to ruin their

208
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: career out of just resentment that they disagree with.

209
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: You that's cowardly. I hate it.

210
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: I think I've been ruined on that. I think I

211
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: hear somebody have spouse certain opinions, and I think, out

212
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: grade they're one of those, and then I just assume

213
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of other things about him based on

214
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: that one thing.

215
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 2: Well, that's not persecution. It's a time saver. Yeah. Well

216
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: that's true enough.

217
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: But but you're not like calling their employer and falsely

218
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: accusing them of terrible things to nobody. I might just

219
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: decide worth my time to speak to ever again. Oh

220
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: that's fine, that's perfectly and based on one opinion it

221
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: seems a little harsh. Fit's a time saver. You said

222
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: it yourself mail bag because I got this blah blah blah,

223
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong and get

224
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: you dot com Richard.

225
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: In San Diego, California. Right, So let me get this straight.

226
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg is now saying he was just following orders.

227
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: Where have I heard that before? Wow? Richard, are you

228
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: going with a Nazi Germany reference? Nazi Germany?

229
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 4: Uncle?

230
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: Come on, let's see this is frank, He says, best

231
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: show on the radio or streaming, et cetera. Thanks Frank,

232
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: this is very kind of you. As to the functional

233
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: stupidity of Biden. We were talking about a book yesterday

234
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: that positive the definition of stupid as somebody who does

235
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: things that damage other people and are of no gain themselves.

236
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: They just do damage. They're not like doing damage to

237
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: get gain.

238
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: They just do damage. And Biden there are a number

239
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: of examples about them. Heyway, frag Rights.

240
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: As to the functional stupidity of Biden, those decisions he

241
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: made that were catastrophic and offered no benefit to him,

242
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: you said they were even harmful to America. That is

243
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: the upside for Biden, and especially as handlers. These are

244
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: the woke globalist, critical theory pushers who want this country

245
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: burned down so they can rule over the ashes. They're

246
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: evil and dangerous people. They hate our freedom and they

247
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: hate us. I think that's true of a lot of

248
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: his activist far left advisors. I think Joe Biden is

249
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: just a career long mediocrity and a spent force, and

250
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: he was led by the nose by his younger you know,

251
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: advisors who are activists. But yeah, the neo Marxists don't

252
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: want to solve our problems. They want to overload the

253
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: system and break it. Moving along, we were talking about

254
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: these what are the rings called the health rings, the

255
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: Aura ring, Aura.

256
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: The brand.

257
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what those rings are called, but you

258
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: can wear them and they give you all kinds of

259
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: data about your health. A doctor friend of mine sent

260
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: me his data yesterday. He loves his he's a doctor,

261
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 3: and I thinks it's fantastic.

262
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. G first initial G. The engineer says, dear pork

263
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: Chop and cookie Monster. You know it's I think cookie monster. Anyway,

264
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: it's it's a longesst email. It's very good. It's it's

265
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: actually quite a great review. But he said it's most

266
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: handy for tracking sleep and figuring out what affects it.

267
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: He said, I'd wait to check the app until the

268
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: afternoon to see if the score aligned with how I

269
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: felt interesting for me, the scores were pretty spot on.

270
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: I felt if I felt like I was tired and

271
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: dragging you, I'd find that my sleep score of the

272
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: previous night had been low. On days where I felt energized,

273
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: my scores were high, so it seemed pretty accurate. Then

274
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: I started to make small changes to my lifestyle, try

275
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: to eat better. Go for a while, I get lunch,

276
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: cut out, afternoon coffee, minor stuff, bad news, pork chop.

277
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: Oh, evidently I am pork chop.

278
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: Anytime I drank our dear beloved Scotch before bed, my

279
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: scores would tank. On days I have stained, I slept

280
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: better and my scores were higher. Sorry, brother, the data

281
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: don't lie. I would like to see that on some

282
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: of my eating choices. That's really interesting.

283
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, as the doctor sent me his for a day

284
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: or whatever. Your total sleep versus your time in bed,

285
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: your deep sleep versus your total sleep, heart rate, sleep efficiency,

286
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 3: all these different things. I'd be kind of interested in that,

287
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 3: kind of like Katie said, though yesterday, I could see

288
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: myself doing that for a couple of weeks and thinking, Okay,

289
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 3: now I have.

290
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: The information, they don't need to wear this thing anymore. Yeah.

291
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll put up the text of this email at

292
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,239
Speaker 1: armstrong and getty dot com under hot links all anonymous,

293
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: of course, g I found it pretty interesting. I've got

294
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: to admit, having now been sober for a couple of weeks,

295
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: I still desperately need an alarm to wake up in

296
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: the morning, and I still feel sluggish and dopey.

297
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: F And how do you feel about your fellow man.

298
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't stand anything right exactly right, and Scotch

299
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: certainly helps with that.

300
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: Makes you all more interesting and better looking.

301
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: Let's see. Although the sleep stuff, I gotta admit I've

302
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: got that.

303
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: I don't want to know the truth.

304
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you use one of those or rings or

305
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: different brand and have an experience with a go ahead

306
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 3: and text your email us.

307
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: I would like to hear that. And then this from Jeff.

308
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna mention this partly to remind myself to go

309
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: into a little more detail later about TikTok and its

310
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: effect on young people in America.

311
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: Already.

312
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: It's not some sort of like a possible brainwashing tool

313
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: going forward. No, the brainwashing has been done anyway, Jeff Wrights.

314
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: Apparently TikTok users have made the Chinese app Red Note

315
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: the number one app in America, at least for now.

316
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: What they don't know is the app is actually called

317
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: the Little Red Book in China. Communist Chinese could not

318
00:15:59,040 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: be happier.

319
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: Man I took. The talk has been an enormous win

320
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: for China. Absolutely I took.

321
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: And yet another podcast on the legalities and the argument

322
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: around the TikTok thing. It is so complicated. I have

323
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: no idea where they're going to come down on this.

324
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: Is it Jack or is that communist trying to complicate it?

325
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: Simple to me? What's good for the red, white, and blue?

326
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: All right?

327
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 3: So maybe we'll get to that coming up a little

328
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 3: bit later. Also, I would like to know exactly how

329
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: many hours I sleep every night. I just have kind

330
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: of a vague guess I've been going with my whole life.

331
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: But maybe I'm way off and one of those contraptions

332
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: a watch or a ring would tell me. I might

333
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: buy one of those ring. People sleep as opposed to

334
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: being in bed, right.

335
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: I don't even really know how many hours I spend

336
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: in bed every now. I don't keep track of it.

337
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: So I'm fairly simple mathematics, isn't it.

338
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't pay attention. I might get one

339
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 3: of those at Target today and report back. That might

340
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: be my New Year's resolution.

341
00:16:59,280 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: By a ring.

342
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: How the Left turned California into a paradise lost. Beware, beware,

343
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: if you hear these policies advocated in your state, don't

344
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: do it.

345
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: Some more of the news of the day. If you

346
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,919

00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: on demand Armstrong and Getty.

348
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 5: President Biden on Wednesday is set to deliver his farewell

349
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 5: address from the Oval Office, though I think he already

350
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 5: did that during the first debate.

351
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, by Biden with a couple of speeches, announcing some

352
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: new monuments. That sort of stuff. We'll tell you about later.

353
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: Also coming up urgent warning warning.

354
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: A key economic indicator has hit his highest level since

355
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: the eight financial crisis.

356
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 2: Oh boy, and not a good one.

357
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 3: Well, they ask a little of what's going on in

358
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 3: the world today for you, But first I I.

359
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: Had a thought I don't usually have on what's going on.

360
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 3: There was a famous song year back in the nineties,

361
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 3: I guess called.

362
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: Where Sunscreen? Do you remember that? It was a talking song.

363
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: It was like a poem. It's like beat poetry.

364
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: It was based on a commencement address given by a

365
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: newspaper columnist.

366
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 2: It's brilliant. It was. But the lines in there that

367
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: Joe and I remember just because of where we lived.

368
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 4: Uh.

369
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 3: It said, live in New York, but leave before you

370
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: get too hard. Live in northern California, but leave before

371
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: you get too soft, which I think about sometimes when

372
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 3: I when I take on a point of view that

373
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 3: is way softer than I had most of my life. Anyhow,

374
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 3: I come around the corner early this morning in the

375
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 3: dark in my car and there's a possum scurrying across

376
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 3: the road, and I slow down and I let the

377
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: possum scurry across the road, And I thought that possum

378
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: is doing the same thing I'm doing up early out,

379
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 3: trying to figure out a way to help his family,

380
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 3: get a little food for his family, or you know,

381
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: just do what he's what. He's what he's designed to

382
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: do to help his species and his family go on.

383
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 3: So how would that day, foster you do? You do

384
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: your thing. I'm gonna do my thing, possum. I wish

385
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: you the best. On the other hand, of course, had

386
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: been near my trash, can id to probably smash it

387
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: with a shovel, because you can't have pests reproducing and

388
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: destroying your house the end of the end, right, But

389
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: I just I don't know. I thought that was interesting.

390
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 3: You know that there are hearings going on today, There's

391
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: lots of hearings going on this week. Lay it out

392
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 3: for you today you got the most profile. There's several

393
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 3: going on today and with different committees and everything like that.

394
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 3: But the most prominent nominees appearing before Congress are Pete Hegseeth,

395
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 3: the Defence Secretary. He's sitting there right now. I'm looking

396
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 3: on television. I don't know if great hair will get

397
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: you confirmed. He's a shoe in. That is some fantastic hair.

398
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 3: He's a handsome devil, no doubt. I would say to

399
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 3: also Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, and Pam Bondi, Attorney General,

400
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: both tomorrow. Those are a couple of heavyweights, I think,

401
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 3: because everybody expects us to fly through.

402
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rubio is going to be effortless. Bondie a little effort. Indeed,

403
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: she will get through with flying Collers.

404
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: Scott Bessint or Bessent who I don't know, Treasury secretary

405
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 3: on Thursday. I got a problem, yep, what's not a

406
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: problem knowing how to pronoun getting him through?

407
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 2: Oh, okay.

408
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 3: And then our appointment there will be an appointment of

409
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 3: a replacement for Vice President elect jd.

410
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: Vance by Ohio governor.

411
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 3: So we'll get a new Ohio governor and the GOP

412
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 3: will enjoy then a senator, your senators, rather the governor

413
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 3: will appoint a senator. That's the sentence, and the GOP

414
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 3: will then have a fifty three forty seven majority in

415
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 3: the confirmation battle ahead fifty three forty seven for the

416
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 3: Republican Senate at least for the next two years.

417
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a tight majority.

418
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't hate the idea of if a nominee can't

419
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 1: get a majority among the slim majority of Republicans, they

420
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: don't get in. I don't mind that the advice and

421
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: consent of the Senate exists for a reason. You see

422
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: some of the magna crowd arguing that absolutely everybody Trump

423
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: picks should get in because he has a mandate, et cetera,

424
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: et cetera. That's not what the Constitution says, and I say,

425
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: let it work.

426
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: Wildfires continue to burn in LA. We're now at forty

427
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 3: thousand acres and unimaginable size. The Palisades Fire the biggest

428
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 3: one fourteen percent contained at this moment, which is not

429
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 3: a lot. That other big fire at thirty three percent.

430
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 3: They're st getting handle on that. But that's before the

431
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: wind picks up today and it's supposed to be seventy

432
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 3: five mile hour gusts, and who knows how that will go.

433
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 3: The setup is as bad as it could get today

434
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 3: weatherwise for this fire, said one LA weather outlet, So

435
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 3: be prepared to evacuate.

436
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: Yiesh And yes, bad governance is not the entire story

437
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: of why La burnt and continues to burn, but it's

438
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: a significant part of it. We'll get into that next hour.

439
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: Hope you can stay tuned. Also, that economic indicator that's

440
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: a little worrisome in a moment or two, came across

441
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: this story, which is both amazing and charming and discouraging

442
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: all at once. Gotcha may be the only place on

443
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: earth where you can score a thirty six hundred dollars

444
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: hermeiz Piko tin bag. I don't know from expensive ladies

445
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: handbags for a variety of reasons, but you can get

446
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: this thirty six hundred dollars bag at the nine thousand

447
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: square foot arcade in Queens, New York. It's a grown

448
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 1: ups arcade where you can relive your youth. But the

449
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: prizes in the claw machine are like that thirty six

450
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: hundred dollars bag, or a six hundred dollars Chanel wallet

451
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: five hundred and forty nine dollars Apple AirPods max. I

452
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: think the whole inner child thing has gone far enough

453
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: in America, we're not having any babies because we're staying children.

454
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just going to point out I don't think

455
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 3: it's people reliving their childhood. It's people continuing their childhood.

456
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: They never left their childhood. People aren't becoming adults, entering

457
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 3: the world, doing adult things and then having a fun

458
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 3: little relived the childhood.

459
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: We're just staying in childhood now.

460
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: Well, right, right, If you are several years into your

461
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: career and you've been hustling after the kids, but you've

462
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: got the hall pass, you got the fella's night out

463
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: or the cown's night out or whatever, and you're doing this,

464
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: then you're reliving your childhood.

465
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: Right.

466
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: But if it's continued without a break, Jack is quite correct. So,

467
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: but I learned this, and I suspected all of this,

468
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: but now I know for sure. The owner of this

469
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: arcade said, the Hermes bag sat in the smash the

470
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: button machine for a month before somebody ultimately won it

471
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: in twelve attempts. They spent six hundred dollars fifty bucks

472
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: a throw, obviously to try to get this thing. But

473
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: the forty two hundred dollars Louis Vutan backpack was a flop,

474
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: attracting only a handful of players. I think our sweet

475
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: spot is around the two grand mark, he said. Of

476
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: the value of the fancy prizes, he estimates that eighty

477
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: percent of his patrons are over fourteen and spend forty

478
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: to fifty five dollars on average.

479
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 2: Wow.

480
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: So every US state has its own laws regulating amusement machines,

481
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: but rules can vary on municipal levels. A widely known

482
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: trade secret is that operators can program the claw machine.

483
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: Modern claw machines enable operators to manually set voltage, probability,

484
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: grip strength, and other settings. No way, if you're about

485
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: to tell me that tw of these games are rigged,

486
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: you should have said sit down first. Well, they are rigged,

487
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: but they're not like rigged to make you lose per se.

488
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: According to this owner of the sixteen hundred square foot

489
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: Gotcha Claw Arcade in Las Vegas, did you have it.

490
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: To go to that when you're in Vegas?

491
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 3: No?

492
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: I did not. He personally tests each.

493
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: Of his claw machines one hundred times to ensure it

494
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: takes between four and seven plays to win.

495
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

496
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: That is the balance that enables the arcade to be profitable.

497
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: Without frustrating losing customers. That's way more often winning than

498
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: I would have guessed. Yeah, yeah, me too, but that

499
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: makes sense. I mean, the the more useful version of this.

500
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: You know, for the kids, it's just a complete fix

501
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: and hardly anybody ever wins. And I wouldn't let my

502
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: kids play it at a quarter of throw right, or

503
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: it is a life lesson, or my kids figured it

504
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: out on their own very quickly.

505
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 3: My favorite one of those is when Steph Curry and

506
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 3: I think it was right after he won an NBA

507
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 3: championship years ago, went to one of those you shoot

508
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 3: baskets to win prizes things and he couldn't.

509
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so you.

510
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: Get the greatest basketball shooter who's ever walked the planet

511
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 3: can't come close to winning the stuffed doll on your

512
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: tiny little rim.

513
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 2: The ball doesn't fit through lesson learned. Okidding.

514
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have breaking news, Michael, breaking news.

515
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 2: According to CBS News and others. That's right when news breaks.

516
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: The doctor Grace, Arab, Us and Israeli officials all tell

517
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: CBS that the Dragon deal for a ceasefire and hostage

518
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: release has been agreed to in principle and will be

519
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: finalized by Israel and Hamas this week, Well, perhaps we

520
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: shall see. Yeah, I've been reading a lot about that

521
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: that this is a pretty serious one.

522
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: What's going on there?

523
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: Did Israel finally punish them to the point that they're

524
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 3: they're crying uncle.

525
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: More or less? Yes? And Donald J. Trump has made

526
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: it clear that the ear of Joe Biden that we

527
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: must have a ceasefire.

528
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: Hey, our ally is winning. Why would we have a

529
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: cease fire? Is giving way to Trump? And I will

530
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: unleash hell upon you if our hostages aren't released. Excuse

531
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: or at the very least, the knowledge that a sneeze,

532
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: pardon me, the knowledge that if Netanya, who unleashes holy

533
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: hell on Hamas, Trump isn't immediately going to go on

534
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: television and talk about what a bad guy Netanyahho.

535
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 2: Is right right exactly? The whole dynamic has changed. Anyway.

536
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: More on Biden's miserable and weak foreign policy coming up.

537
00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: So urgent warning.

538
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: Mayor Perkins Key economic indicator hits highest levels since the

539
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: eight financial crisis.

540
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: It is US.

541
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: Corporate bankruptcies as companies have been increasingly grappling with higher

542
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: debts driven by higher interest rates that cause borrowing costs

543
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: to spike.

544
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: In well bankruptcies.

545
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: Corporate bankruptcies rose eight percent from twenty twenty three.

546
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 2: It's not huge, but almost more.

547
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: Than twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two combined. The

548
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: whole you know, Honestly, I'll stop myself and interrupt my narrative.

549
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: The whole pandemic era cannot be compared with any other

550
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: you know of the period, of course not. It's just

551
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: bizarro time for companies large and small. Anyway. One of

552
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: the year's biggest bankruptcies came from Party City, which reminds

553
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: me the younger generation isn't drinking and it's nearly as much.

554
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 2: And it's not entirely a good thing. You tease that.

555
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 2: I want to hear the stats.

556
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's It's an interesting topic sociologically speaking.

557
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: Other major names like Tupperware, Red Lobster, and Spirit Airlines

558
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: also filed for bankruptcy. Even popular vodka Stolely filed for

559
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: bankruptcy in November.

560
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 3: Is that a good vodka? A cheap vod guy? I

561
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 3: was remember a vodka guy? Really, that's a pretty good one.

562
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 3: As I recall, I don't know me neither me neither.

563
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: I'll let's say a zabad Abadu said, chief economist at

564
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: who is this guy with?

565
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: Well, he's quoted.

566
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: The persistently elevated cost of goods and services is weighing

567
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: on consumer demands, hitting lower income families the most absolutely clear,

568
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, as I'm looking at some of the bankruptcies. Though,

569
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: the beautiful and painful thing about the free market some

570
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: call it capitalism. I prefer not to use that term.

571
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: It's Karl Marx's anyway. The beautiful thing about the free

572
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: market is it creates ideas, or it allows ideas to

573
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: become offitable and to grow until they are mismanaged or

574
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: they are no longer good ideas, and then they go away,

575
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: which is precisely what they should do. I'm gonna spend

576
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: a little time later in the show talking about Shijin

577
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 1: Ping's China, which is racing away from the free market

578
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: and towards central control, and it's yielded miserable.

579
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: Miserable results.

580
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: Chijin Ping is China's greatest adversary, not the United States.

581
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 2: But again, more on that later.

582
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 3: So if you watch MSNBC, perhaps CNN, I don't know,

583
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 3: I didn't catch them. They've got a narrative on the

584
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 3: Pete hegseath hearings today that I just want to point

585
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: out a flaw in because it's the big it's the

586
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: story on MSNBC Today on why these hearings are corrupt

587
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 3: and it's a travesty and everything, and they leave out

588
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 3: one particular part. So I just want to fill you

589
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 3: in on that to me or us doing the homework

590
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: for you on this on this story anyway, I know

591
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 3: we get Katie's headlines on the way.

592
00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: Also to stay here, man, you.

593
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 3: Hate to go fourteen and three during the regular season

594
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 3: and get defeated like that on Monday Night football in

595
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: the playoffs. The Vikings just got trounced by the Rams

596
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 3: last night.

597
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 2: Indeed, Yeah, that wasn't even close.

598
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: One of several blowouts that I wanted to watch and

599
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: was excited about and just nah, give up, bun Big.

600
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: Hour next hour. I hope you can stay tuned.

Speaker 2: We're not in the clear yet.

607
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 6: The high winds are returning and la is still facing

608
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 6: extreme fire danger.

609
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 3: All right, that's the ongoing day by day. But I'm

610
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: looking at the pictures up on the TV, you know,

611
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,960

Speaker 6: Multiple people charged with looting in the Palisades.

620
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the more I think about it, so

621
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 3: if your house is destroyed, everything is destroyed. No, your

622
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: cars are gone, your house has destroyed everything you own,

623
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: and it's gonna.

624
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 2: Be what would it be two years before you'll have

625
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: another house on that spot. That's kind of a wild

626
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: guess something like that. Yeah, what are you doing in

627
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 2: the meantime? Right?

628
