WEBVTT - Making Progress, eh?!? 0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:06.760 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:10.880 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty. 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:13.080 Armstrong and Jettie and now he. 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:24.840 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:27.760 Hey, thanks for being here. I hope you're well. 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:32.320 Hope you had a good, fun, relaxing slash productive weekend. 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.760 Whatever your goals were, I hope you reached them at 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:40.440 least partially. Looking forward to talking to Gary Dietrich, longtime 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:42.520 friend of the Armstrong and Getty Show. Gary's a non 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:48.000 partisan CBS television and iHeartRadio political analyst, and Gary joins 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:49.239 us Now, Hello, Gary, how are you? 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:51.680 Hey? Joe, good to talk with you. 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:56.080 Trush your soldiering on towards another NFL season, my friend. 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.920 I am indeed, I am a Gary product of the 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:06.640 the auspicious Harvard Kennedy School of Government pre grade inflation. 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:07.199 As you problem. 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:09.360 I appreciate that notation. 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.240 Yeah, no, now, Gary. 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.680 Granted, I went to a pathetic state university where many 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.320 of the professors weren't even literate, they couldn't even read, 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.240 and we squatted in min huts on mud floors to study. 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.320 But back in the day, if I got an a 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.040 or a couple of them, I was fist pumping. 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.880 I would dance all the way home. It was. 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:33.960 It was hard back in the day. Probably understand certified genius. 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.760 But oh no, no, Harley, I understand that. You know, 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.360 I got enough Midwest and I think you know, Joe 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.680 from Kansas and Ohio roots that I always have to 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.640 tell me. Listen, were stuck in the back door. I 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.160 don't know what happened, but I got in. 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.200 Yeah, good man. So let's talk about the current scene. 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.680 I read with interest. I was reading the Washington Post 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.920 and they were talking about who's going to succeed Lindsey 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:59.400 Graham in South Carolina. And what was interesting to me 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:04.040 about the article was that the entire thing was who 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:08.480 hughes most closely to Trump, Who's Trump credentials are the best. 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.360 It was as if there are no other issues, like 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.799 there was no character. There was just the only thing 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.920 was how trumpy is this person? And I know that's 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:21.920 becoming a less and less comfortable dynamic in the Republican Party. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:22.880 What are you seeing? 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.480 Well, I think you're exactly right, Joe. I mean we 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.680 are right now. This midterm really will be the tipping 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.440 point Joe to you know, how do I say this 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:35.800 the movement towards a post Trump era. You know, as 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.359 he has already said himself, I'm not on the ballot 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.440 this fall. Well that's not really true because to your point, 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.560 many Republicans in the primaries want Trump to be their 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.360 buddy in this balloting in the primary. But as we 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.720 move towards a you know, absolute critical mid term election here, 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.600 that could determine a lot about the second half of 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.560 the final Trump Trump posts, I mean, Trump presidency. You know, 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.320 Democrats are still going to make the midterm a lot 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.520 about him and pulling numbers. They're pulling up, you know, 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.400 validate a lot of that, and he's down to like 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.360 thirty four percent approval that match just low of his 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.360 first term. He's up in about three quarters of voters 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.400 saying I'm not happy with things economically. 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:15.800 You know all the data, Joe. 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.919 So it sort of depends on what state you're in 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.840 and whether you're in the primary or a general, be 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.840 the midterm or heading towards twenty eight about whether affiliating 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.440 with Trump right now is a plus and a minus. 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.880 And then many of these swing states know the conundrum 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.840 for the GOP is it's both. 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.000 So I wonder whether We're going to see a lot 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.080 more armstrong and Getty esque statements of Hey, a lot 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.760 of the stuff the President's done is great. I support 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:43.440 it one hundred percent, but there's a lot of stuff 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.000 I don't like too. So I'm you know, I'm an 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:47.840 independent god. I'm gonna be with him money's right, and 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.600 I'm going to pose him money's wrong. You think more 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.680 like is standing on your own two feetish? 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:52.480 Perhaps? 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.360 Yeah, I think I think there's going to be a 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.360 lot more of that, especially in these very very purple states. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.680 As you know, though, that's a tough tightrope to walk. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.520 You know, it gets a little nuanced, and you have 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.720 to be careful, as you know, because all of a 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.880 sudden you could find yourself on the wrong end of 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.440 a true social post from the White House saying, you know, 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:16.479 this person's not trumpy enough, and I withdrawing my endorsement whatever. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.400 You know, It sort of like cuts cuts both ways. 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.320 Yeah, I would just suggest to the Republican candidates out there, 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.599 the way I just suggested it is the only way 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:29.080 to go. You just at some point you do you 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:34.479 and let the chips fall. If you're constantly reactive and 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.560 just trying to take the path of the East resistance. 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.839 It's just no, no, don't be that. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.000 But you know, nobody's going to listen to me anyway, 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.880 So we'll have to see how that evolves. Meanwhile, and 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.000 this is really I think the political headline in America, Garry, 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:52.560 the mainstream of the Democratic Party has got to be 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.960 freaking out a little bit about a little a lot 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.800 about the ascendants of the far far left, the DSA 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.680 and all that hearing from folks close to the party. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:03.599 Well, that's one hundred percent true. 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.600 I mean, you've got, you know, loud voices like a 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.039 James Grbel saying, look, I'm about ready to leave or 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.960 they need to get out of our party. Steve, You've 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.000 got that element out there. You got John Freederman saying 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.120 essentially the same thing, you know. And the challenge for 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.920 the Democrats. And this is the thing about this one 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.080 and why this is so juicies, you know, Joe, is 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.200 that this all happened in like six to nine months, right, 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.080 all of a sudden, Mom, Donnie wins Well maybe that 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.160 was a one off whatever, but no, all of a 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.040 sudden in the in the bluest most critical of swing 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.800 state's Michigan you have them guessed it was only about 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:39.040 one percentage point. But you have you know, a DSA 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:44.200 affiliated candidate, you have the you know, Democratic nominee for Wisconsin. 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.880 Governor and a formal part. 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.800 Of the Democratic Socialist So I mean, this is becoming 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.160 for Democrats a massive headache where they wanted to make 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.680 this solely about Trump and what they perceived to be 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.799 as weaknesses on Iran, on the economy, especially right now 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.359 they are on defense and Joe. This is going to 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.320 be so interesting to watch because Davin Newsom, for example, 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.880 California governor big time asprint for twenty eight. 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.000 Where was he this weekend in Michigan? 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.040 How close does the how do we say this mainstream 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.600 Democrat or somebody especially that wants to White House in 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.919 twenty eight, how close do they coose you up to 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.720 this new wing you could call out of the party 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.240 knowing that as they say, this is where the energy is, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:24.080 et cetera right now. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:25.800 But could it become. 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.760 A major albatross both in the midterms and especially as 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.039 we point towards twenty eight. 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.680 The Republicans, obviously Gary are going to try to make 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.400 it the biggest albatross ever seen. 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.480 And I think it will work to some extent. 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.760 I know you, like me, have been studying political movements 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.279 for a very long time. I came across a piece. 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.080 His name always escapes me, Brooks. He writes sort of 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.599 the Free Press. He's professor. He talks about happiness and 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.880 that sort of thing. And he was positing in a 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.919 column that I responded to. But he said that this 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.919 socialist thing, the DSA, it's just a fad. It's just 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.279 something the kids are trying on for a while, and 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.760 it'll go away like disco or you know, Neon colors 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.240 in the eighties or whatever. And I thought and wrote back, 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.920 I think he's completely wrong, partly because of the way 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:16.200 the American educational system has been taken over by the left. 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.640 In fact, the very very far left, the critical theory 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.400 crowd in a lot of ways. And I've seen, I've 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:25.600 studied plenty of mainstream political parties and movements that have 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:32.000 gotten taken over by the very energetic, small ish, but 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.960 absolutely hell bent, you know, left wing, for instance. 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.040 And I could easily. 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:42.600 See the democratic establishment thinking, oh, we can handle these people. 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:44.760 I tell you what, We'll take them in, we'll take 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.920 the energy, we'll get those votes. Then we'll co opt them. Well, 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.080 we'll choke them off, and we'll keep control of the party. 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.000 But we've both seen that sort of thing blow up 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:52.680 through history. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.320 Yeah, Joe, I think you're exactly right. I mean, I 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.320 side where you come down on this analysis. And it's 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:02.200 not just because a younger voters, who, by the way, 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.880 let's remind ourselves, were highly activated. 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.800 This isn't the first time around for this kind of 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:07.120 a deal. 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:11.600 Remember how close Bernie Sanders came to completely overthrowing the 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:16.280 Democratic establishment i e. Related to Hillary Clinton, and most 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.080 young and disaffected voters say, were it not for the 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.840 DNC sort of rigging the game and that election, Bernie 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.960 might have won that nomination. So this has been brewing 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.440 for a while. Add to that, Joe, which you also know, 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:34.440 and that is the incredible disaffection with the established, really 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.319 older part of the party. Okay, and I'm talking about Nancy. 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.200 Pelosi's just upset. 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:43.600 But Chuck Schumer, all these octagenarians that younger voters, even 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.079 without the DSA, were saying. 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.520 It is time for you to step aside. 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.760 So this is not going to go away. I don't 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:51.880 think this is going to be a real challenge, not 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.840 for just the cycle, certainly in twenty eight and maybe beyond. 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.720 And they're right. I mean, they've identified the disease just fine, 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.120 the old Garter hacks, but their cure for the disease 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.400 I think is completely wrong. Garry Dietrich on the line, Hey, Carrie, 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.400 speaking of the DNC. I know they're going to announce 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.559 soon the primary states and what order they're going to 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.480 happen in, and I hear there could be big changes. 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.160 What are they up to? What do you think the 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:19.920 strategy is? 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.160 Yeah, this is actually a really big deal. People say, oh, 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.200 this is a snoozer. No, not at all. 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:26.240 Here's the thing. 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:31.040 Remember that what saved Joe Biden's bacon last time around 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.880 when he got the nomination was this state that had 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:38.959 never been first in line, and people said, what South Carolina. Well, 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:43.360 it's happening again, and what's gonna happen formally? So people 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.120 know by the end of this week the DNC will 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.760 determine which states and where they go. Now, here's the 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.720 list we have right now, and this is almost certainly 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.400 reportedly going to be where they end up. South Carolina 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.480 is going to go again, followed by Nevada a little 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:02.120 bit later, and then New Hampshire, New Mexico, Michigan, and Virginia. 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.360 Real quick, here's how this breaks down. Joe putting South 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:10.079 Carolina first really enhances most people believe the block vote 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:14.480 recognizes that. Remember that that is really Joe Biden lost 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:18.120 the first two primaries. I will enhishi did that pulled 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.320 it out. So here's the thing people are now saying, 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.120 who does this benefit. Is this basically to rig the 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:29.480 party structure for the newly progressive, energized wing or is 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.280 it to you know, shore up the old guard? You 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.840 know what, There's no clear analysis on that right now. 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:36.160 But here's what we do know. 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.120 Putting South Carolina first and Joe, I know your proclivities 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.520 when it comes to the former vice president and her 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:46.719 aspirations potentially in twenty eight, most people are saying this 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.640 is a serious benefit to Kamala Harris should she run, 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.240 and by a way, all indications are right now that's 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.959 more likely than not. And maybe others maybe a Wes More, 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.719 maybe a Corey Booker, you know, not necessarily just black candidates, 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.280 but there's that, and also people who, let's just say, 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.320 are not in well, you might call it more of 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.959 a mainstream people looking at Kentucky's Andy Basher, the governor 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.400 or Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania. We'll see what this plays out, 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.760 but certainly it's going to begin to set the map 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.440 Joe for twenty eight in a way that is just 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.600 going to enhance the battle we were just talking about 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:26.720 between the so called new progressive DSA types and the establishment. 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.720 Right now, we've only got about a minute left, Gary 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.480 and I want to get a little into the weeds, 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.400 which means we'll have to check ourselves for tics. But 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.800 so South Carolina is the black vote, which tends to 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.800 be fairly and I'm grossly oversimplifying, but which tends to 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.480 be fairly mainstream Democrat. And then the idea of Nevada 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.360 going next is a lot of unions. They tend to 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.040 be fairly mainstream Democrat. But if I look at some 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.720 of the unions, like the SEIU in California, they're just communists. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:59.280 I mean, they are absolutely as far left as you 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:06.520 can get. Uh is are the is everything changing so 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.440 fast that even the best laid plans of the DNC 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:11.840 might not go the way they think they're gonna go. 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:16.440 They can't fix it like they did with Hillary and Bernie. 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.440 For instance, I think you're exactly right, Joe. And just 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.760 to put this real, real, succinctly, the union vote is 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.040 not going to be monolithic. It isn't even in the 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.320 SEIU in California. We don't have time to go into 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.920 the details. But you're gonna see you're gonna share a 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:33.079 lot of intra union battles. Even remember when when a 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.040 lot of the big unions change. There's another thing. Hey, 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.319 you know what we're thinking about getting behind Trump. You're 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:41.160 gonna see that battle within the Democratic Party. Which unions, 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.000 not all unions, Which unions go on this side, which 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.040 put their chips on the other side. 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:50.760 Gary Dietrich, CBS Television and iHeartRadio political analyst, Gary, it's 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.800 been too long, a great pleasure. Let's do it again soon. 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:54.960 Likewise, Buddy, thanks Bud. 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.480 All right, a word from our friends that simply save 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.360 home security. Think about what a home security is system 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:04.000 does as an intruder approaches your house, Uh, nothing until 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.160 the window breaks, Then the alarm goes off, then you 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.400 get a notification, then maybe the cops come. What if 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.320 the whole point was to stop the chain of events 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:11.400 before it even started. 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:12.840 That's the question. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:18.520 Simply Safe is answered, and most other companies haven't. Unlike 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.000 traditional security systems that only alert you after a break 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.400 in's already underway, simply Safe is designed to help stop 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.280 intruders before they get inside. So you got your smart 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.680 AI powered outdoor cameras detect suspicious activity at the perimeter, 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:34.640 alert the live US based agents to step in. Simply 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.720 Safe agents assess the threat intervened through the outdoor camera 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.959 to scare off the trespassers and call for a nine 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.240 to one dispatch. Yeah, they can talk to the scumbag 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.839 through the cameras and call the cops. And it's not like, hey, 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.679 there's some weird alarm going off at Joe's house. No, 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:52.000 they'll say, there's an intruder trying the windows at Joe's house. 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.560 You got to get there quick, so much better. Simply 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.559 Safe has been protecting our world for twenty years. Right now, 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.840 you can get fifty percent off a new simply Safe system. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.319 Go to simply safe dot com slash armstrong. It's simply 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.480 safe dot com slash armstrong for fifty percent off. There's 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:11.439 no safe like simply Safe Armstrong. 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:19.240 Hey man, there's so much great stuff to talk about. 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:20.280 Just not enough time. 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.760 Oh well, I want to get to Mark Zuckerberg's big 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.360 long piece about AI. Oh gosh, it's a little complicated 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.840 and a story about LA schools. Good lord, is the 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:34.480 LA school district falling apart. It's the world's most obvious 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.080 slow motion train wreck. 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.040 It's just oh well. 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.000 All I guess we can do is keep fighting for 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.200 you know, reasonableness and conservative principles and hope the world 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:50.720 smarts up. Speaking of Mark Zuckerberg, Akka Satan. The meta 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:55.600 smart glasses are now increasingly referred to as pervert glasses. 0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:00.000 The backlash against the glasses is growing online. Katie Green 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.360 joins us for a bit of reaction anyway, I hope. 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:04.800 I don't know, have you heard about any of this 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.480 in the real world yet, Katie, that there are lots 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.240 of people wearing these glasses which look like a regular 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:15.040 pair of glasses, and they can videotape or audio tape 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.480 with people for that matter, And I still use tape 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:22.200 because I'm old. They can video or audio record people 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.760 without those people knowing. Now, theoretically there's a little light 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.200 or something, but it can be you know, covered or whatever, 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.120 and what they're trying to do is like they try 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:34.920 to pick up a woman or hit them with a 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:39.520 line or say something objectionable, then get their reaction and 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:40.680 post it online. 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:41.400 Right. 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.200 Yeah, I haven't heard about this in my day to 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.080 day life, but I've been reading instances of it, and 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:48.920 there was a video that went up where a guy 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:50.800 tried to do this to a woman and she kind 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.760 of clued in. She went, wait, are you recording me? 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.440 Because you can see I mean, they're actually they're at 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.000 least on the ones that I've seen, there is not 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.080 a light. It's just you can if you hone in 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.160 on the outside of the frame, you can see the 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:03.000 actual camera. 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:05.120 I can. 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.080 I can see it happening. I don't know how how 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:09.400 popular that is. 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.920 Some businesses are banning them. Yeah, I've seen that. 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.400 Yeah, I've seen where you know, the you can't go 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.640 in with these things on, and I mean I'm looking 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.840 at their website right now. When I purchased mine, which 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.720 I'll we've talked about it before, I use mine to 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.760 videotape my newborn because I can go hands free, and 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.720 I've gotten some great footage of him using these. But 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.680 they've released at least twenty new styles from when I 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.920 purchased mine that don't look like they have cameras in them, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:41.560 but they do. 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.160 Wow. Wow yeah. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:45.880 Here yeah, here is a list of a couple of 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.800 businesses that have banned them. I can't wait to talk 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:55.120 to Anastasia Anastagia Boden about this topic. Excuse me in 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.800 I think she's gonna kick off our for Yeah, that's right, 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.840 because I'm sure she has some important, you know, liberty 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:07.760 constitutional case stuff to talk about. But and we talked 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:12.399 about the case. What was it in New York? I 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.520 can't even remember the particulars of it. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:16.280 Oh oh oh. 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.760 It was the couple that was smooching on the park 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:23.840 bench and some online provocateur videotape them then released it. 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:25.960 And it turns out the dude was a high powered 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:29.920 lawyer and the woman was as much younger underling at 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.440 the firm, and he's losing out on a job offer, 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.440 and blah blah blah, and and in this new era, 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:38.720 because the old doctrine is, if you're in public, you 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:40.399 have no expectations of privacy. 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.439 But what about somebody who exploits. 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:50.640 That for profit and deliberately provokes an embarrassing encounter so 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:51.159 they can. 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:55.000 Exploit that right. Where where are we now? 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.159 And so I want to talk to onastage about that, 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.600 But you know I was going to squeeze in discussion 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:03.040 of a a new scam going around, the jury duty scam. 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.359 Evin evidently is full in lots and lots of people. 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:10.200 Maybe we'll squeeze that into next half hour. Stay tuned 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.280 that and much much more. If you can't stay tuned, 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:14.520 just grabbed the podcast. You ought to subscribe to it 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.040 auto downloads Armstrong and Getty on demand. 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:18.120 Hang around, We'll be right back. 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:21.280 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:23.919 Are ron defiant. 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.280 The president is looking for a way out. 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:28.439 I'm involved in the negotiation. 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:29.680 I think we're doing fine. 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.720 But the Iranians say they will never reopen the strait 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.840 of arm moves unless the US corrects its behavior. 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.000 Uh wait a minute, Wait a minute. 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.560 It was end of last week, wasn't it that the 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.760 President told reporters he was prepared to launch the biggest 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.800 military military attacks since World War Two, but was then 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.919 was then talked down by US allies because. 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.240 The deal was imminent. 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.679 And on Friday, the president on social media suggested victory 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.600 was already in hand link to an article declaring Donald 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:08.399 Trump won the Iran War. Vice President Vance told Fox 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.159 News that the US would continue to pressure Iran to 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:15.880 make long term changes, but essentially the straight thing is settled. 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.600 That was on Friday. 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.240 I guess well, here's a little more information on the 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:20.959 latest twist. 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:22.040 Next clip, Michael. 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.919 Iranian leaders are again demanding more concessions from the US, 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.680 including the lifting of the naval blockade, removing sanctions, releasing 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:34.480 frozen assets, and providing compensation for the war before reopening 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.560 the straight Now it's increasingly clear Iran believes it has 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.199 the upper hand, betting the White House wants to end 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.280 this confrontation more than it does. 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:49.560 Okay, so the new deal, since the President said the 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:53.199 strait will be opened, is Iran says, you need to 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:57.359 permanently end the war, lift the naval blockade, withdraw all 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:01.239 your forces and all your sanctions, free all of our 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:05.840 frozen assets, pay US war reparations and all threats and 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:10.399 insults going forward, and stop military action against any of 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:17.080 Iran's militia allies around the region, from the she and 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:22.879 militias in the God forsaking parts of Iraq to Hasbolah 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:28.399 to the Hothies. Got to call off the dogs on 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:30.640 all those people, and then we'll open the straight. That's 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:35.480 the new deal, bitches, and I use that term advisedly. 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:41.960 That is Iran's attitude at this point. We're not coming 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.320 to you hat in hand asking you for terms. You're 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:49.720 coming to us Trump, and here's what it's going to take. 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.959
