Is real overnight 15 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: bond and airporting Yemen after a Hoothy strike, you're tel. 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 4: Aviv, Okay. So that's kind of interesting. What I really 17 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 4: wanted to play is the way this played out there. 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 4: So this is Trump sitting in the Oval Office with 19 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 4: the Canadian Prime Minister sitting there wishing the whole thing 20 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 4: was over. Trump was taking questions about the Hoofy thing 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 4: because the story had just broken and this is the 22 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 4: way it went. 23 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 3: We had some very good news last night. The Hooties 24 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 3: have announced that they are not or they've announced to 25 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 3: us at least, that they don't want to fight anymore. 26 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 3: They just don't want to fight, and we will honor that, 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 3: and we will we will stop the bombings and they 28 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: have capitulated. But more importantly they we will take their word. 29 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 3: They say they will not be blowing up ships anymore. 30 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: And that's what the purpose of what we were doing. 31 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 4: So that's an interesting way to announce that, I thought. 32 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 4: And then this question from a reporter. 33 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: He talks a thing more about. 34 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 4: The deal if you fetch. 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: No, it's not a deal. 36 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: They've said, please don't bomb us anymore, and we're not 37 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 3: going to attack your ships. 38 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: Wait did you hear about that? 39 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter where I hear the very good source. 40 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 3: I could, very very good source. Would you say, Marco, 41 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 3: I would say pretty good, right, j D A very 42 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 3: good source. 43 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 2: Trump He's a he's unique. Yeah, I'd say, yeah. The 44 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: Huthis are going to continue to lob ordnance at Israel. 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: By the way, in Israeli ships. 46 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 4: I wonder what we told him, like, probably something along 47 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: the lines of look you can shoot at Israel. 48 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 2: That's what you do. I get it. You can't be 49 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: stopping shipping. We can't put up with that. Yeah, we 50 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 2: got fifty thousand more of those missiles we've sent your way, 51 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: So up to you. I'll bet, I'll bet that's close 52 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: to what we said. Yeah, essentially, Yeah, And I was 53 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: just reading. I hope it holds. I think if I'm 54 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: a HOUTHI. 55 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 4: I agree with Trump because I don't think he's gonna 56 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 4: let that go on. 57 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: You're not going to interrupt international shipping anymore. That's over now. 58 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: I just read a piece where this frees us up 59 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: for the whole attack in Iran, which is still coming. 60 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: One of these days. 61 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 4: One of these days, we're all going to wake up 62 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 4: in Israel with our help, is going to attack Iran 63 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 4: and it's going to be the biggest military thing we've 64 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 4: done in this country in a quarter century. 65 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: That's gonna happen one of these days. Right. Meanwhile, Israel 66 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: has the green light to lob ordinance back of the 67 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 2: hoothies if they want, with our support and the you know, encouragement. 68 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: So a different topic. 69 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 4: I wanted to get to this. This is the most 70 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 4: interesting thing I came across yesterday. I sent it to Joe. 71 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 4: I found it so interesting. So I don't have a 72 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 4: full handed grasp on woke right in what's going on there. 73 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 4: It's a little slippery for me, so I don't want 74 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 4: to like get into that argument completely. But James Lindsay, 75 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 4: who we like on this show, he gave a little 76 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 4: speech yesterday and a bunch of people were tweeting part 77 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 4: of it, saying this. 78 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: About our kids out there today. 79 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 4: Conservative parents all over the country, who, by the grace 80 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 4: of God didn't lose their daughters to trans because of 81 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 4: the woke left, are now seeing their sons lured toward 82 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 4: Nazism by. 83 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 2: The woke right. 84 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 4: You can leave woke right out of it if that 85 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 4: term bothers you, and the justifications are just as bad 86 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 4: in resentment and on the other side. And Jordan Peterson, 87 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 4: who either you know or don't, his response to that 88 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 4: was beware of any of these movements that are motivated 89 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 4: by resentment, And that really struck me as like a 90 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 4: measuring stick for all this stuff going forward. If the 91 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 4: motivation of the movement as you're so resentful of the 92 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 4: way you're being attacked, as opposed to a more. Even 93 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 4: if you are being attacked as opposed to a more 94 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 4: positive here's what we can accomplish, spin that tends to 95 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 4: drive you to do bad things. 96 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 2: Right, right if your motivation is the grievance as opposed 97 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 2: to a goal an ideal. Yeah, there's subtlety in this, 98 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 2: Yeah there is. 99 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 4: But I do think that we're maybe in the midst 100 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 4: of this, and it is a problem. The idea that 101 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 4: your daughters in high school and college they were They're 102 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 4: coming at them hard with the whole hayar trans and 103 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 4: men are evil and all the different things, and it's 104 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 4: so popular in college, and it worked on a lot 105 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 4: of people, unfortunately. 106 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: But now the. 107 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 4: Guys who have been attacked I kind of see this 108 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 4: in my own kids and they're friends. Guys who have 109 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 4: been attacked for so long as being you know, toxic 110 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 4: masculinity and all these different sort of stuff have built 111 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 4: up a pretty big head esteem of resentment themselves. 112 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 2: And are well earned, well earned. 113 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 4: But resentment politics or resentment movements aren't good for society, 114 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 4: and I don't know how we get ourselves. 115 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: They're not good for you as an individual either, No, 116 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 2: absolutely not. 117 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 4: I don't know how we get ourselves out of this, 118 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 4: but it is something to be on the watch for. 119 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 4: I know I'm going to It really struck a chord 120 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 4: with me because, like I said, I see this in 121 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 4: my kids and some of their friends, and how resentful 122 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 4: they are and a lot of that stuff that gets 123 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 4: pushed toward them. Yeah, which makes you susceptible to a 124 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 4: you know, some crazy ideas. 125 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 2: Right, It's happened over and over in history. We don't 126 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: need to point out the most obvious examples of it, 127 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 2: but yeah, and to watch the other side, whatever that 128 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 2: other side is, break the laws of God and man 129 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: and decency over and over again, and then be told 130 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 2: we don't break the laws of God, men decency. And 131 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 2: you're being told by your gurus, your recruiters that well, 132 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 2: you're just gonna lose. Then you're gonna lose and lose 133 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: like the oldsters do. Like the oldsters did, they got 134 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 2: their institutions taken over you.

You're 136 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 2: gonna lose. So hey, we're dropping the gloves and we're 137 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: gonna fight dirty, and all these old principles are out 138 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: the window. We're gonna beat the other side, you know, 139 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: the problem being the old, old old saying, be careful 140 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 2: when ye fight monsters, that ye do not become a 141 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: monster yourself, right, And it ends up definitely a race 142 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: to the bottom. Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, it's easy to understand. 143 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 2: And my god, if I were a college student right 144 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 2: now enduring what even moderately left to conservative young men, 145 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: particularly white young men, are having to put up with, 146 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: I could see myself being an angry militant. I really could, right. 147 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 4: And then there's plenty of people out there who make 148 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 4: a lot of money by the way, or power and 149 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 4: or money off of convincing you you need to go 150 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 4: scorched earth again to the other side after all these 151 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 4: years of them saying bad things about you, And I 152 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 4: am concerned about that as the future. I don't know 153 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 4: if there's any stopping this. 154 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,239 Speaker 2: There's perhaps tapping the brake and steering it a little 155 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: bit and just persisting in the message of again, you 156 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: don't want to become the very sort of monster that 157 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 2: you're decrying, because you will become that monster. You will 158 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: lose all sense of proportion, you will lose all sense 159 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: of decency, and you will not in any way accomplish 160 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 2: anything except defeat your enemies. But it'll be a new 161 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: horror and you will then be absolutely deserving of the decapitation, 162 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 2: not literally obviously that comes your way.

Yeah? 204 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 4: Right, it's a lot easier to be viciously angry at 205 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 4: that crowd than to have any sort of positive outlook 206 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 4: on trying to overcome it. I mean, I certainly understand 207 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 4: that it's human nature, agree completely, but we. 208 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 2: Got understanding something is not the same as condoning it. 209 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 2: I think it's important we do both. Yeah, it's like 210 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: I have worked very, very hard to actually understand the 211 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 2: process by which in the mindset in which confused adolescent 212 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: girls get swayed to the whole.

I want to understand it because 216 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: that's the only way to fight it effectively. So, yeah, 217 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: we have to understand that urge and which one is it. 218 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: Sympathize or empathize with it. Sympathize with it, I get it. 219 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: That doesn't mean I approve of it.

And it's funny 330 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: because at this point I'm torn between continuing to fight 331 00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 2: the unholy beast that is this theft from the taxpayers 332 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: and a feeling like it's such an old topic and 333 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 2: everything's been said, there's no point, and yet it continues. 334 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 6: Yeah. 335 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 2: The lesson is. 336 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 4: There are plenty of people in and out of government 337 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 4: that will continue something as long as you know money 338 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 4: is changing hands. The goal disappeared years ago, and we 339 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 4: should all be more aware of that. Yeah, are there 340 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 4: people that still pretend they're ever going to have a 341 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 4: bullet train? I mean, I'm they are pretending, but I 342 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 4: don't think anybody who actually believes it. 343 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 2: They just know this. 344 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 4: No, this is a never ending money spicgott. If I 345 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 4: can keep it going for like three more years, I 346 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 4: can pay off my house and put my kids to college. 347 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, essentially, and reward our cronies and win the next 348 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: couple of elections. Yeah exactly. I'll just give you a 349 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 2: bit of it. And twenty oh eight they got there, 350 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 2: not even fifty three percent of California voters to approve 351 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 2: a ten stupid dollars voters. I'm looking at you geez 352 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: you SAPs. Well, they got they got to had they 353 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 2: were had they were they were conned, they got less 354 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 2: than for fifty three percent of California voters to approve 355 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: a ten billion dollar bond issue to jump start the project, 356 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 2: which fromoters claimed would cost thirty three billion dollars, with 357 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 2: service LA to San Francisco starting in twenty twenty. That's 358 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: five years ago, folcus. And you know, the fastest trains 359 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 2: two hundred miles per hour finish the trip and no 360 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: more than two hours forty minutes tickets affordable. A full 361 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 2: seventeen years later, the project looks more like a con 362 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 2: artists stream than a futuristic transportation service. Boy, that is 363 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 2: a good sentence. Yeah. Last Sunday, even the New York 364 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 2: Times ran a lengthy piece about it, titled A Scenic 365 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 2: Tale of Red Tape, tracking the slowest high speed train 366 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: in the country. Construction is inching long on a third 367 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 2: of the route, a mere stub between the non metropolis 368 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 2: of Merced and Baker's feet. 369 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 4: The fact that there is somebody right now as we speak, 370 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 4: with a shovel working on something in theory to continue 371 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 4: this nonsense is really amazing. But yet dollars and trade hands. 372 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: Earlier today, I retweeted I think it was Bill Malugin 373 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 2: of Fox News who retweeted and commented sarcastically on the 374 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 2: high speed ripoff authority, saying, California high speed Rail, real progress, 375 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 2: real jobs, real results, fifty plus major structures complete, fifteen 376 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 2: thousand plus good paying jobs created, and the largest clean 377 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 2: energy transportation project in the nation. Here it is California 378 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 2: is proving that we can still build big things in America. 379 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 2: Hashtag build California, and Bill tweeted, not one piece of 380 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: track has been laid, not one, and I had an 381 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 2: on self declownment reaches new heights. So anyway, the project 382 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 2: is now projected to cost at least one hundred and 383 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 2: twenty eight billion dollars, and it'll be far far more. 384 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 4: Man's progressives, I realize, are in progressive probably listening to us. 385 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 2: But hey, progressives, why doesn't this make you mad? 386 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 4: Doesn't this make you mad that this money isn't going 387 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 4: to I don't know, transsurgeries are illegal something or other. 388 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 2: Don't you have other causes you care more about that? Well, 389 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 2: you could actually do something with you didn't exactly steal 390 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: man their argument, but yes, I see your point completely. 391 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 2: Government waste SAPs money from the programs you support. So 392 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 2: it'll cost two hundred billion if it ever exists, and 393 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 2: it will never exist. But officials no longer even bother 394 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 2: predicting when San Francisco and LA will be linked? Did 395 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 2: you know that? Friends? They won't even throw out a 396 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 2: fake number anymore. Meanwhile, the California High Speed Ripoff Authority 397 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 2: is virtually out of money. The funding shortfaut is nearly 398 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 2: one hundred billion. It was supposed to cost was it 399 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 2: supposed to cost? Total thirteen billion? I can't remember. 400 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 4: Thirty No, thirty three, thirty three billion, and then the 401 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 4: original thing was for ten billion, Yeah right, yeah, So 402 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 4: now that thirty three has become one hundred and twenty 403 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 4: eight and they lack one hundred billion of it, and 404 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 4: federal taxpayers have already chipped in seven billion dollars to 405 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 4: get trains boosts. The trains boosters are counting on more, 406 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 4: but within days of being sworn in, Donald J cut 407 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 4: off more federal funding. Good uh anyway, So now they're 408 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 4: trying to sucker the private sector into. 409 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 2: Investing in the Mad scheme. It's not gonna happen nobody's 410 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 2: that stupid. You'd have to be just so profoundly stupid. 411 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 4: Well, where are they're building using my finger quotes, where 412 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 4: they're laying the track right now? I mean puts a 413 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 4: light of the original plan anyway, So, as you've been 414 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 4: pointing out for years, even if they finished it under 415 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 4: its current plan, which god I hope they don't, it 416 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 4: would be a regular speed train that meanders through California. 417 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, exactly, at the cost of I mean unthinkable 418 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 2: amounts of money. 419 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 4: Nobody would ride it to commute from San Francisco to 420 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 4: La and back. You might ride it because you want 421 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 4: to ride a train through California. 422 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like Amtrak. I have a good friend who 423 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 2: recently took a fairly significant trek on Amtrak. Sounds awesome, 424 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 2: it is. It's a sight scene sure, no hurrying. Yeah, yeah, 425 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 2: it's like if you took a dinner cruise on San 426 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 2: Francisco Bay. It's not transportation per se. It's not efficient transportation. 427 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 2: It's a sight seeing thing. And that's about as good 428 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 2: as it gets. Honestly. You know, I wanted to get 429 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 2: into but I've misplaced there. Really interesting we. 430 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 4: Get stolen from such a it's amazing we don't have 431 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 4: revolutions in the street. 432 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 2: Of course, this is because the tax base is so narrow. 433 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: Most people don't pay much taxes, so they don't get 434 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 2: worked up about this. This is the only explanation. Yeah, 435 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: that's that's part of it, or or I think you know, 436 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 2: and I've advocated that point of view a lot. But 437 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 2: the more I think about it, I think it has 438 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 2: more to do with the fact that people are just 439 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 2: completely blindly unaware of the facts of what's happening and 440 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 2: the rip off nature of it. 441 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 4: Mean, I'm an anti violence, I don't want to, but 442 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 4: this is you should be in the streets throwing rocks 443 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 4: through windows sort of stuff. 444 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, yeah. If anything would justify that sort of 445 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 2: anger on the part of taxpayers, this would be it. 446 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 2: But people just don't notice or they don't get riled up. 447 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 2: I came across another study speaking of transportation, of how 448 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 2: ludicrous it is that NASA continues to waste enormous amounts 449 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 2: of money. They're still building like multi billion dollar per 450 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 2: launch permanent rocket one single use rockets, while SpaceX and 451 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 2: other companies are getting Katie Perry into spacem No no, no, 452 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 2: are developing these multi use rockets that are a fraction 453 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 2: of the cost and much more efficient, and blah blah blah, 454 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 2: and we. 455 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 4: Really need to This is like the bullet train. It's 456 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 4: the same sort of thing. It's just a people are 457 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 4: getting money. The spending is the point. The spending is 458 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 4: the pointing. 459 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: Well, and they make the point that there are things 460 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 2: that NASA does very well, but we really need to 461 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: embrace the public private partnership thing because the and I'd 462 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 2: like to go into detail maybe another time, but NASA 463 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 2: has been enormously slow, bound by reams of regulations, not innovative, 464 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 2: and once they get started down a long, slow, red 465 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 2: tape choked road, they find it nearly impossible to abandon it. 466 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 2: Ending something in government might be the hardest thing you 467 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 2: could possibly accomplish. Meanwhile, over at SpaceX, they say that 468 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 2: didn't work, Let's try this, and in about three days 469 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 2: they've caught NASSA past them and then vaulted far into 470 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 2: the future. So anyway, I don't know, probably preaching to 471 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 2: the choir, but. 472 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 5: I think you. 473 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 2: Oh he did, Yeah, I think he wrote my Girl. 474 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 2: Smokey Robinson wrote my Girl. It has a smoky sound. Yeah, 475 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: it does. Yeah, yeah, and what an astounding singer he was, 476 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 2: and uh what are the other hits? Perhaps a little 477 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 2: kidnappy in his older years. No, no, I will not 478 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 2: leap to that. I'd probably take it. I didn't Stil 479 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 2: proven guilty for once in my life. Uh no, I 480 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 2: have no idea. 481 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 4: I will tell you this being with You, which was 482 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 4: a hit like an eighty one, like long after his prime. 483 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 2: But I love that song. Yeah, it's a good song too. 484 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: What else? What else you got? You really got a 485 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 2: hold on me? Uh Prusian? Oh baby baby, good tune 486 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 2: tracks my tears? Oh that was? That was the one 487 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: I knew is yeah? 488 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 5: Right? 489 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 2: I second that emotion? Oh winner, Yeah, you know what 490 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 2: witness for the prosecution Jack Loose with his accusations Armstrong. 491 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 2: You know what I heard the other day because I 492 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: geek out on this stuff a lot. It was. I 493 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 2: wish I could remember what record it was. Was it 494 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 2: Superstition or what a Stevie Wonders Hits? It was Stevie 495 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: playing the bass guitar on that song, and it was 496 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 2: some of the best bass playing I've ever heard in 497 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: my many decades as being a bassist. It was crazy good. 498 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 2: I mean, like nuanced and fast and cool. You know 499 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 2: what he's like over celebrated in certain ways. So Stevie Wonder, 500 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 2: Stevie Wonder. I don't think people understand what a miraculous 501 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: musician he was. Is I wonder if there could be 502 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 2: a Smokey Robinson Diddy? Oh okay, I do you know what? 503 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 2: I'm checking out? Michael let let captain irresponsible here, babble 504 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: is nonsense? Is poor victimizing the ancient Smokey Robinson nonsense? 505 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 2: I'm checking out, all right, We'll finish strong next. That's 506 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: pretty good. And ye rarely mentioned among yacht rock classics, 507 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 2: are very politterally cruising in that song. 508 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 4: So we like Jason Riley around here, writes for the 509 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal mostly, and he's got a new book 510 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 4: out that I have a feeling we are going to 511 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 4: be interviewing him about at some point and somebody. A 512 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 4: number of reviewers have said this might be the definitive 513 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 4: book on this topic, the affirmative action myth why blacks 514 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 4: don't need racial preferences to succeed, And it's basically a 515 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 4: breakdown of how all of that legislation that got passed 516 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 4: in the mid sixties mostly to try to help the 517 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 4: black community has clearly hurt the black community, not help 518 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 4: the black community. And this might be the book that 519 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 4: really drives that home. But he's got all kinds of 520 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 4: statistics to back it up. I mean, a lot of you, 521 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 4: if you're into this topic, have been aware of it, 522 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 4: and you remember Patrick moynahan and when he put all 523 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,719 Speaker 4: this stuff together. It's a tough one for a lot 524 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 4: of people to swallow the idea that if you give 525 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 4: people a little government help, it can often lead to 526 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 4: the opposite outcomes that you want. But it just seems 527 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 4: statistically true. You know, whether you're doing it with your 528 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 4: own kids that won't leave the house, or whatever the 529 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 4: situation is. 530 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 2: It's just it just seems to be human nature. One 531 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 2: of the most intriguing and troubling bits of wisdom that 532 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 2: I think a lot of us ever learned is the 533 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 2: idea of that it is much easier to fool people 534 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 2: than to convince them they've been fooled. And one of 535 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 2: the hardest things, and I've seen this so many times, 536 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 2: and politics runs on this, especially progressive politics. It is 537 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 2: so difficult if somebody advocates something for the right reasons 538 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 2: with a I had the phrase in my mind a 539 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 2: second ago. But their motivations are good, and they advocate 540 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 2: something and they're wrong, and it doesn't work or it backfires. 541 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 2: It's so hard to get people to admit my heart 542 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 2: was in the right place, but that was wrong. 543 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 4: Well, Jason Riley, as a black man, is making this 544 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 4: about the black family and going back to the sixties. 545 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 4: I think it might get more traction if you included, 546 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 4: you know, white America now and seeing the exact same 547 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 4: thing happen in Appalachia or wherever you want to look, 548 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 4: and how government dependency is destroying those families and making 549 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 4: things worse not better. Riley rattles off statistics in his book. 550 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 4: Between nineteen forty and nineteen sixty, the black poverty rate 551 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 4: in the country fell forty points from eighty seven percent 552 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 4: to forty seven percent. 553 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 2: Nineteen sixty. 554 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 4: Is not only before any affirmative action started, It's during 555 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 4: Jim Crow. It's before any major civil rights acts of 556 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 4: the sixties had passed. 557 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 2: It's before the DEI programs. 558 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 4: And then they started with all the various handouts to 559 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 4: try to make things better, and it just turned around 560 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 4: and started going the other direction at a very fast rate. 561 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 2: And it's horrifying. It's horrifying what it does to families. 562 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 4: It's horrifying, waste of tax payer money because you get 563 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 4: the opposite of what you want, a better society. 564 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 2: It's I don't know. I hope this book gets some traction, right. Yeah, 565 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 2: and your point about black people and white people is 566 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 2: a good one, because there are way more poor white people. 567 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 2: But for whatever reason, if you're arguing about government programs 568 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 2: for poverty, any objection to them always gets hauled up 569 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 2: on the witness stand of your You're just racist against 570 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 2: black people and helping them or something. For some reason, 571 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 2: you're blaming them whatever. Right, you're ready with Katie Green 572 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 2: And yeah, here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty. 573 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 2: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew 574 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 2: to wrap things up for the day.

I watch an NBA 592 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 4: game and enjoy it instead of like some roundtable news show. 593 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 2: And I go to bed happier.
