1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jettie and he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 3: Nearly one third of Americans think they could pass themselves

5
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 3: off as British.

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: The other two thirds go to the dentist.

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: What all right, Hi, y'all do? And we're gonna talk

8
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: immigration a little bit here. There's some new pulling out

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: and I got an interesting story about how, in some

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: cases definitely going too far in booting people out. I

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: don't like hearing those stories because I feel like, to

12
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: a certain extent they cherry picked the worst examples out

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: there and blow them up to being the whole thing.

14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: We do have.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: Key facts out Yeah, we have millions and millions of

16
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: the people here illegally. What do you want to do

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: about it? Hey, Congress, do something, write a law or something.

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: And they keep going back to what other laws would

19
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: you like to ignore? I mean, if you're okay with

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: just letting it stay the way it is, I mean,

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: what kind of a system is that?

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: Any who.

23
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: Tom Holman, he's a guy that's been leading the charge

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: on this for the Trump administration. He got heckled by

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: somebody who he's given a speech the other day. He

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: said this, If.

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: ICE officers are racists for enforcing the law, what's that

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: make members of Congress?

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: They wrote the damn law.

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: If ICE members are racists, the person had screamed, the

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: ICE members are racists?

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 2: What the heckle was? Instead?

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: If ICE members are racist for enforcing the law, what

34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: is Congress for writing the law?

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: Again?

36
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: What is a government agency that is designed to enforce

37
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: that particular law? I don't know what they're supposed to do.

38
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: It is complicated. And then I just wanted to get

39
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: this on because it's kind of fun. We got Alligator

40
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: Alcatraz down there in Florida. They op it up while

41
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: I was while I was doing my long bike ride

42
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: in the Everglades down in Florida, they were opening up

43
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: just a couple of miles away. It even has a

44
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: sign outside of it says out Alligator Alcatraze. It's a

45
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: big chain link thing, and they're sending detainees illegals, some

46
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: of them probably criminal, bad guys, some of them just

47
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: a gardener who'd been here a long time. I don't know.

48
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: And now you're in a cage surrounded by alligators? Is

49
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: that what we want?

50
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 4: It's a facility, a cage. What are you aoc over here?

51
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: I saw the pictures and let's say when the pictures

52
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: I saw sure made it look very cage like.

53
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: It's protective to keep the alligators out. Do you want

54
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: these poor people eating in the night? No, you don't.

55
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: It's all about you know how you shade it. Like

56
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: I remember.

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Talking about when my kids were little and you put

58
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: them in a crib, it's a cage. When they're too

59
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: little to climb out, it might as well have a

60
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: lid on it because they're they're physical strength keeps them

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: from climbing over.

62
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: You put your kids in a cage at night?

63
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 4: Right, you do? It's absolutely true? And then I remember

64
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: as they grew to toddlerhood and could scramble out, you asked

65
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: whether it would be ethicalt to put a lid on.

66
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: It, and why wouldn't it be? And you know it

67
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: would not play well in the news. Jack Armstrong, known

68
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: Trump supporter, puts his kids in cages. Cages wouldn't be cool.

69
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: In fact, if you find a kid in a cage,

70
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: it's like a horrifying story. But if they couldn't get

71
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: out of their crib when they were lot, but now

72
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: they can, and you put a lid on it, so

73
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: they still can't get out.

74
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: I don't understand the difference. Anyway, I'm off track here.

75
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: People did send us pictures of old timey cribs, though

76
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 4: they had lids exactly.

77
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 1: So this president's got a top on it, so you know, see,

78
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: you don't get out. The top is chained link. Usually

79
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: it's a roof like you're looking like I'm looking at

80
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: it right now. I don't know what's the difference. AnyWho.

81
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: A bunch of Democrats went and looked at Alt Gator Alcatraz,

82
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: and they are horrified about it. Here's Debbie Wasserman Schultz,

83
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: who I've been annoyed by for decades.

84
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: Here she is, there are really disturbing, vile conditions. This

85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: place needs to be shut the hell down.

86
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: There you go because it's all right? Man? Is she

87
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: an annoying human being? She is utterly dishonest.

88
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: So some new polling came out that is getting a

89
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: fair amount of attention, the lead number being that the

90
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: biggest number ever recorded by Gallup. Think that immigration is

91
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: a good thing. It's now at seventy percent of Americans

92
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: think immigration or I'm sorry, it's a seventy nine percent,

93
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: seventy nine percent, let's call it eighty eighty percent. A

94
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: record high eighty percent of US adults say immigration is

95
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: a good thing for the country. This is being portrayed

96
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: as and it's up from like fifty five a couple

97
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: of years ago. I think what's going on there is

98
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: just people finally coming to the understanding of the difference

99
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: between immigration and illegal immigration.

100
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: We're fine, we took us this long to get here.

101
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think as it's become a big topic in society,

102
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 4: more people realize you're supposed to say, Look, I'm in

103
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: favor of immigration, right, it's not illegal immigration. So everybody's

104
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 4: making clear, yes, it's fine if good, smart, hardworking people

105
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 4: who we let in want to come here, of course, right.

106
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: And so the news media is trying to continue the

107
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: conflating of the terms by acting like, how could I

108
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: sert the Trump administration being wanting to remove illegals when

109
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: a record eighty percent of Americans.

110
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: Think immigration is a good thing.

111
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, legal immigration is a good thing. It's always been popular.

112
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: Legal immigration. The problem we have, I can't even finish

113
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: the sentence. I know, it's just so depressing that it

114
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: is even a topic.

115
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: What do you want to do?

116
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: Discouraging that a distinction that obvious and stupid would have

117
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 4: to be made over and over again.

118
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I thought it was interesting that a

119
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: Pew pole and this is in June. We're in July now,

120
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: but most recent Pew poll found Americans evenly split over

121
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: the administration's use of state and local law enforcement officers

122
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: and its deportation dragnet and all that sort of stuff,

123
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: evenly split as of mid June.

124
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: It might have gone down from there. I don't know, but.

125
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to get this story on the Oh, by

126
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: the way, I thought this number was pretty good.

127
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: A plurality of Hispanic adults.

128
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: Thirty nine percent said they wanted immigration levels to decrease,

129
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: only thirty percent of the general public. Significantly more Hispanics

130
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: want immigration to go down than the general public.

131
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: Because they're in the communities and have the jobs that

132
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 4: are being most affected by the flood of illegals, which

133
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 4: depress wages. It's amazing how much agreement there is on

134
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 4: this topic and how normal people are absolutely able to

135
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 4: make those distinctions that we're talking about. It's really just

136
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 4: the media and politicians who are trying to, you know,

137
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: get what they want to get, who smear these distinctions

138
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: as if the rest of us don't get it either.

139
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 4: It's a giant failure of democracy.

140
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: But somebody texts A person I'm friends with texted me

141
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: this story because it's somebody they actually know, and I

142
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: thought this was interesting and worth noting. They now have

143
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: a go fundme going for this, dude, Eric, let me

144
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: read their GoFundMe. Today, Eric was taken by ice. One

145
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: of our best friends, Desiree, and I assume I can

146
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: read this go fund me is are public?

147
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 4: Right?

148
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of our best friends, Desiree and Eric are

149
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: in an emergency. What happened today to her husband Eric

150
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: is not justice. It's a devastating failure of a broken

151
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: immigration system.

152
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: Boy. Anybody who denies our system is broken is full

153
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: of it.

154
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: Eric is thirty eight years old and has lived in

155
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: the United States since he was eleven, and he's spent

156
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: over two decades here working, building a life, paying taxes,

157
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: contributing to his community, and showing up every single time

158
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: for his scheduled immigration check ins. And yet during his

159
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: most recent routine check in with ICE, he was suddenly

160
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: taking into custody and is facing deportation because he is

161
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: not a citizen. He had been trying to obtain legal

162
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: citizenship all those decades, showing up till all the things

163
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: you're supposed to show up to, paying taxes, do and

164
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: everything you're supposed to do, and showed up for the

165
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 1: most recent check in, got apprehended, is now going to

166
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: be deported or at least that looks like the track

167
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: he's on it. And so they have a GoFundMe to

168
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: try to get legal fees to try to fight that.

169
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: But I don't see how you can possibly be think

170
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: that that's a good thing.

171
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 4: Right right, The only answer would be we're just rounding

172
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 4: everybody else, everybody up and shipping amount because it's just

173
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: it's too many, it's too complicated, These distinctions would take

174
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: too long, so we're just going blanket. We're just going

175
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 4: willy nilly. The problem is you'll lose political support in

176
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 4: a big hurry, and there's always a backlash to excess

177
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 4: if you go too far in deporting the erics of

178
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 4: the world. And again, we beat torture and take the

179
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 4: money from anybody who dares to try to follow the

180
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 4: rules in our immigration systems. You want to talk about

181
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 4: mistreatment of people, But anyway, if we go too far,

182
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 4: there will be a backlash. And this is my argument

183
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 4: to Magnation and our fellow pro enforcement crowds. If we

184
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 4: go too far, there will be a backlash and another

185
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: Joe Biden will come in and the border will be

186
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 4: open again. We've got to at least be semi smart

187
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 4: about who we deport and how Steven Miller doesn't have

188
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 4: a sense of that. I don't think I think he's

189
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 4: an extremist. I appreciate him being there. He's the gas pedal.

190
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 4: We need to make sure got somebody on the brakes.

191
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm quite sympathetic to the kick them out if they're illegal.

192
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 2: That's the law. As I've been saying, that's the law.

193
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: It's with a law you don't like it, change the law, right,

194
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: And I get that because an exception. For the erics

195
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: of the world, it's a it's another example of the

196
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: left did something they shouldn't have done, and then when

197
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: you try to get it back to normal, you're the

198
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: bad guy, right, And there's so many examples of it.

199
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: They put porn in your library, and then when you

200
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: try to get it out, you're the book banner.

201
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: Well, Joe Biden, let more.

202
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: A mass migration than has ever happened in human history,

203
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: happen almost entirely illegally, and then when you try to

204
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: fix it, you're the bad guy because how you're going

205
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: to fix it without examples like this guy.

206
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what. I honestly don't

207
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: know what the answer is.

208
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: I do think the one after the employers seems like

209
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: the best idea. Is that just a non starter, because

210
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, big companies control the Republican Party so much

211
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: and the Democratic Party.

212
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: Both parties. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Yeah, the super giants

213
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 4: who depend on that labor are going to quietly behind

214
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 4: the scenes say uh uh.

215
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much different that would be for

216
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: the guy like Eric, he's working somewhere as an illegal.

217
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: If all of a sudden the company said we got

218
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: to let you go, we can't have illegals here anymore,

219
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: they're cracking down, then Okay, I've been here, I've been

220
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: doing this for twenty years. Yeah, now I can't work anymore.

221
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 4: Well, And there have been solutions that sort of problem

222
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 4: before was it under the Bush administration? Or look, you've

223
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 4: been the country x amount of time, you've kept your

224
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 4: nose clean, you paid your taxes, pay a fine, pay

225
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 4: this fee, and here's your green card and your path

226
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 4: citizenship whatever. And and the problem on a lot of

227
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: right America is that every time we say, okay, that

228
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 4: seems reasonable, that seems fair. Now, let's enforce the security

229
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 4: at the border and anybody sneaks in illegally with kick

230
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: him out. Okay, okay, sign here, sign here. And then

231
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 4: a Joe Biden comes in and an Alejandro Mayorcis and

232
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 4: they lay the border open again with all the horrors

233
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 4: that have ensued. It's it is again a massive failure

234
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 4: of bureaucracy. Frustrating.

235
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 2: So we've been waiting for it to happen. It just did.

236
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: Trump is meeting with the NATO Secretary General and has

237
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: made his big announcement on.

238
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: Back in Ukraine. And we'll have the details next state.

239
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: So Trump was announced we are going to send weapons

240
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: systems to Ukraine. We're not paying for him. We'll figure

241
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: out what all that means when we hear from Trump.

242
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: Coming up next segment, speaking.

243
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 4: Of deals being made, the best deals in America right now,

244
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 4: used EVE price is a plunge. I don't borrow people

245
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 4: to Yeah, I especially want you're cooling electrical vehicle market.

246
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: I don't want.

247
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: To get in trouble for I don't know, can I

248
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: get in trouble for this? The I mean it's true

249
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: for all electric vehicles, but especially your non Tesla electric vehicles.

250
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: I just think it.

251
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: You know, the Rivian's supposed to be a really good car,

252
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: but what makes you think that's going to exist in

253
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: five years? And what's your car gonna be worth then

254
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: when that come? You know, if you want to get

255
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: a new whatever part or anything, right, I just can't

256
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: imagine how they will exist in a few years, any

257
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: of them, but certainly the non Tesla ones.

258
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 4: Used EV sales top to one hundred thousand for the

259
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 4: first time in the second quarter of this year, rare

260
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 4: bright spot for the EV industry, lackluster demand looming elimination

261
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 4: of federal tax credits. Sales for new evs fell in

262
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 4: each of the last three months, and used EV prices

263
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 4: fell nearly thirty two percent from twenty three, twenty twenty

264
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 4: three to twenty twenty four, nearly thirty two percent. That's

265
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 4: almost ten times the drop in gas powered car prices,

266
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 4: according to an automotive research I'm waiting.

267
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: For those lucids that cost a quarter of a million

268
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: dollars to get down to where I can afford one.

269
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: That's the car I want.

270
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 4: It might be soon.

271
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.

272
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 4: Last year the average TV cost around thirty nine hundred,

273
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: in line with the average used gas car, even though

274
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 4: new evs sell for seventeen thousand, three hundred dollars more

275
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: than a comparable gas model on average. One thing that's

276
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 4: interesting is they go into the which saves you more

277
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 4: money over the course of ownership or over the course

278
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 4: of a year.

279
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: I've never paid any attention to that. I didn't buy

280
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: an electric car for that, but I guess that was

281
00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: originally that was the selling point on electric cars, right, Yeah.

282
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 4: New electric vehicles cost about eight hundred dollars more a

283
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 4: year to own than gas powered cars when factoring in fuel, maintenance, insurance,

284
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 4: and fees, but removing the cost of depreciation results in

285
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 4: a savings of more than nine hundred annually versus a

286
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 4: gas car, according to Triple A Data. Huh, so do

287
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 4: you increde include depreciation? I suppose you should.

288
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: I I'm but serious, Like, if you own a car,

289
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: it could be any kind of car, but the electric

290
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: cars are much more likely to like go out of business.

291
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: If you own a car and that company's completely out

292
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: of business, what is your car worth? I wouldn't think

293
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: it'd be worth hardly anything, because who's going to buy

294
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,479
Speaker 1: a vehicle that that company no longer exists?

295
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 4: Nobody?

296
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: I would thereby, because where the hell would you take

297
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: it to get?

298
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: If you can have you can.

299
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 4: Have you know, ev specialists down the street. It's like,

300
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 4: you know, European car you know specialists doesn't exist yet

301
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: and I don't anticipate it. But the parts is going

302
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 4: to be the issue damned question. Yeah, yeah, i'd say.

303
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 4: And the everybody's got their own such.

304
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: Unique software situation.

305
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

306
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 4: I don't know. Speaking of modern products and other economic

307
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 4: story for you, Chinese vape companies are flooding the market,

308
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 4: avoiding billions of dollars in tariff duties the Chinese. Keeping

309
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 4: in mind every company in China is sworn by the

310
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 4: laws to answer to the Communist Party if they ever

311
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 4: pick up the phone. Chinese vape companies that manufacture disposable

312
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 4: e cigarettes are on pace to avoid more than two

313
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 4: billion dollars in tariffs on the goods this year alone.

314
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 4: The teriff of agent scheme is possible possible because China

315
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 4: effectively smuggles disposable vaping devices into the US by mislabeling

316
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: them as toys, electronics, and even shoes. Uh. China exported

317
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 4: about four billion dollars worth of e cigarettes to the

318
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 4: US last year. Wow.

319
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: So Trump says one hundred sent tariff on Russia in

320
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: however many days. We'll get to the details on this.

321
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: He's coming strong at Putin. He's tired of Putin jerking

322
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: him around. And we'll get the details coming.

323
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 4: Up, Neck Armstrong and Getty.

324
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: One of the reasons that you hear today is t

325
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 3: here that we are very unhappy I am with Russia.

326
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 3: But we'll discuss that maybe a different day. We're very

327
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 3: very unhappy with him, and we're going to be doing

328
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 3: very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal in

329
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: fifty days. A tariff said about one hundred percent, to

330
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 3: call him secondary tariffs.

331
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: You know what that means? No, Actually I don't.

332
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 3: So.

333
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: Trump's big announcement that he started teasing on Friday, and

334
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: he got teased by a number of people on the

335
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: talk shows yesterday. Lindsey Graham, he's gonna announce it tomorrow.

336
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be big. I don't want to get ahead

337
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: of it. Lindsey Graham kept saying, I'll let Trump announce this,

338
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be huge. I mean, it's gonna get

339
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: people's attention. And maybe it is huge. But men, Trump

340
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: laid it out in a very non showmany way for

341
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: a guy who's, you know, a showman. Nobody does show

342
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: biz better than him as a politician, but he just

343
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: kind of dripped and dripped it out in front of

344
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: the fireplace there in the Oval office. Let's hear one

345
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: more Trump clip then we can get into some of

346
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: the details.

347
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: And we've made a.

348
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: Deal today and I'm going to have Mark speak about it,

349
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 3: but we've made a deal today where we are going

350
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 3: to be sending them weapons and they're going to be

351
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 3: paying for them.

352
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 2: The United States will.

353
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: Not be having any payment made. We're not buying it,

354
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: but we will manufacture it and they're going to be

355
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 3: paying for it. Our last meeting of a month ago

356
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 3: is very successful in that they agreed to five percent,

357
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 3: which is more than a trillion dollars a year. So

358
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: they have a lot of money. And these are wealthy nations.

359
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: They have a lot of money, and they want to

360
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: do it. They feel very strongly about it.

361
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: So Trump promises giant tariffs in do you say fifty days, Yeah,

362
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: if they don't agree to a cease fire.

363
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 4: Scrolling through the breaking news coverage of this, Lindsey Graham

364
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 4: has co sponsored to bipartisan bill that would hit the

365
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 4: Russian economy hard in hopes of pressuring Moscow to end

366
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 4: the war.

367
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: All right, that's been going on for weeks now, and

368
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: there are eighty other senators signed onto it and they're

369
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: just waiting for Trump to push it.

370
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: But he didn't mention that.

371
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: I thought I kind of thought that that was going

372
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: to be his big announcement today. Yeah, Axios is reporting

373
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: yesterday that the weapons include offensive weapons like rockets or

374
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: missiles that could reach clear to Moscow. But that's a could.

375
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: Trump didn't say for certain, So I don't know. This

376
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: is not as clear cut an announcement as I was

377
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: expecting in the build up.

378
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, maybe there's more to come.

379
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't Maybe he's sitting there with the NATO Secretary

380
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: General and Okay, well, I guess that's that for now.

381
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: Did we have we discussed the gen Z stare? Did

382
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: we have that? Did we talk about that already?

383
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 4: I don't think so.

384
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: I don't remember where I came across this, apparently not

385
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: on this show, but they're just talking about it up

386
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: on ABC. So I thought I would bring this to

387
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: you if you haven't heard about the gen Z stare,

388
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: which I think I agree is a thing.

389
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 4: The gen some we're talking about a look you get,

390
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 4: as opposed to a stair that if you put them

391
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 4: together in a set, you can reach the top story

392
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 4: of your house.

393
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: A series of steps that allows you to get to

394
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: a higher elevation to a send.

395
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: It's not that kind of stare. S T A r

396
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 2: E okay.

397
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: The gen Z stair refers to a perceived blank, emotionless

398
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: gaze that some older generations me associate with young people,

399
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: particularly customer service interactions.

400
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: Oh wow, I didn't know it had a name.

401
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: I know, I know.

402
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: It's described as a middle, distant stare into the void,

403
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: often given when approached with a simple question or greeting.

404
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: This behavior is sparked debate, with older generations viewing it

405
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: as either rude or dismissive, while some gen Z individuals

406
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: and platforms like TikTok suggests it's a way to express

407
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: boredom or annoyance with overly friendly or repetitive customer service interactions.

408
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: My son, my high schooler, is always because I interact

409
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: with people a lot at stores.

410
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 2: It's something that I don't know.

411
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: When you turn sixty, it's like something clicks in your

412
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 1: genetics or something. I am an old person now in

413
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: a way that I never was when I was younger.

414
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 4: I just get a young homeowner turning into your parents. Yeah,

415
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 4: I just got to engage them. And my son always says, oh,

416
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 4: she hated that, dad, She hated that so much.

417
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: Want't you just buy your stuff and walk out?

418
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 4: That is funny.

419
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: The gen Z stare expresses boredom or annoyance with overly

420
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: friendly or repetitive customer service interactions.

421
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 4: All right, here's something that you on ther junior. You

422
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 4: have few interpersonal skills because you stare at your phone

423
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 4: all the time, and your parents put you into programmed activities,

424
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 4: and you did not develop many of the life's skills

425
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 4: necessary to become an adult. So how about you don't

426
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 4: lecture everybody else with your withering stare about what interpersonal

427
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 4: interactions are good ones and what are not. I don't

428
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 4: think you're an expert in the field. In fact, you

429
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 4: are the opposite r fault.

430
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: I have known a couple of times, not all the time,

431
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: but a couple of times it's because they got their

432
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: earbut in they're listening to something else.

433
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on there. Have you are you?

434
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with this? You've got a different age

435
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: group going with your kids, but the the oh, anybody

436
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: between the age of like thirteen and twenty, they got

437
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: an ear piece in all the time, and I make

438
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: my kids I don't know how many times I have

439
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: to say, take that out of your ear. I'm not

440
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: going to compete with whatever you're listening to. But right

441
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: the young crowd believes, no, no, I can listen to

442
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: this podcast or music or whatever I'm listening to and

443
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: pay attention at the same time. No you can't, It's

444
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: my response, No you can't.

445
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 2: You think you can, but you can't.

446
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 4: No. As science has learned, and as one of the

447
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 4: really valuable contributions scientists have ay to society lately, you

448
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: can't multitask. You just switch back and forth fairly rapidly,

449
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 4: doing a half assed job on both. Likewise, you're attention.

450
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 4: I've tried to do it so many times. Read news

451
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 4: while I'm say, watching a golf tournament, I'm doing one

452
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 4: or the other. The number of times I have to

453
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 4: zap backward or or or reread something, or if it's

454
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 4: vice versa, I'm reading something pleasant while cocking my ear

455
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 4: to the news in case something I need to hear. No,

456
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 4: you're not.

457
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: The gen z Stare, So what that?

458
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: So I got off on the whole earbuds thing, which

459
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: it drives me nuts, but and I probably should just

460
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: get used to because that's you know, we're gonna have

461
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: a president in twenty years that has an earbudd in

462
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: while they're giving the State of the Union address because

463
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: they're listening to music while they talk, and everybody will

464
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: accept it because people like me are dead by then.

465
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 2: But back to the gen z Stair. What is that?

466
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: What do you think is driving the gen z Stare.

467
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: This is a lot of discomfort with face to face interaction. Okay,

468
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: beginners at it certainly in terms of, like, you know,

469
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: not literally it's the first time, but like a pilot

470
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: if you don't have two one hundred hours of flight time.

471
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: You can't blah blah blah. They just have so little

472
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 4: flight time dealing with human beings face to face compared

473
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 4: to every single generation that's ever existed on planet Earth

474
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 4: since the dawn of time.

475
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: Some TikTok users suggest it's a way to cope with anxiety,

476
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: express frustration, with repetitive questions, or a general lack of

477
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: social engagement. They just don't want to engage with other

478
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: human beings at all. It's an interesting thing we're doing

479
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: as a beast. I hope I live to a very

480
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: old age because I'd kind of like to watch it

481
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: and unfold from my you know, senior apartment where I

482
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: have a bowl of jello every night and watch Fox News.

483
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: Just out watch people high volume hang out alone in

484
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: their apartments or even if they have roommates. They don't

485
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: talk to each other. They're staring at their phone and

486
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: they have an ear butt in, and they hate all

487
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: interactions with other human beings.

488
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, there are days I think this will be

489
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 4: interesting to unfold, watch unfold. There are days I think

490
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 4: it's too effings sad. I don't want to.

491
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope I cross the line at some point

492
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: into just accepting. You know, I don't control the world,

493
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: and this is the direction it's going, and no country

494
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: for old men.

495
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: My day is done. I'm not going to change it.

496
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 3: Right.

497
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 4: And if human beings got through the Dark Ages after

498
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 4: being tortured by the Pope for instance, uh, human beings

499
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 4: will get through this.

500
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 2: I don't know.

501
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 4: Or are we usher in the planet of the Beaver.

502
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I think this is more

503
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: irreversible than the Dark Ages. I'm just trying to comfort you. Well,

504
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: they're on your couch eating your jello, watching Fox News

505
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: that excessive volume. It's literally irreversible if people stop having children,

506
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, yeah.

507
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 2: The gen z stare.

508
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: If you've encountered this and have any explanation for it,

509
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: give us a text for.

510
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: KFTC.

511
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: There's an actual genocide happening on Earth, and the media

512
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 4: is completely ignoring it.

513
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: It's not is it a genocide against It's not Israel

514
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: and Gaza.

515
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 4: No, that's not a genocide, not even close. But there's

516
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 4: an actual one going on. Okay, that other stuff on

517
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 4: the way, stay.

518
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: Here, man.

519
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: Trump's big announcement massive tariffs in fifty days. If there's

520
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: not a new ceasefire deal. Zelenski and Ukrainians must be

521
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: thinking fifty days. You're gonna give them fifty.

522
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: More days of bombing the crap out of us.

523
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, I wasn't gonna talk about this, but

524
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 4: Trump persists in believing he can maneuver Putin into a deal.

525
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 4: Putin's response, through all of his actions is here's the deal.

526
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 4: I rebuild the great Empire I dream of. That's it. Anyway,

527
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 4: we're I got a remodel going on in the house.

528
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 4: And for instance, if I want to have lunch or whatever,

529
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 4: I got to remember, let's see some of the dishes

530
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 4: in the dining in the utensils of silverware in the

531
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 4: dining room, and then some other ones are in the

532
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 4: laundry room. Are refrigerators in the hallway outside the master

533
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 4: bedroom because that's where it would fit, And then the

534
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 4: coffee and everything is in the hallway on a table.

535
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,239
Speaker 4: But then the hot plate, like we're living in a

536
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 4: hobo hotel in our little college sized microwave. We just

537
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 4: got her back in the laundry room, and blah blah blah.

538
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 4: I get mildly vexed, but just mildly I've got a

539
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 4: sense of humor about it. Then I look at, for instance,

540
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 4: Nigeria where jihattists are rounding up Christians and slaughtering them

541
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 4: by the hundreds. What do you mean, Joe, I haven't

542
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 4: heard this story? Are you sure? And that's half of

543
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 4: my point?

544
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 2: If so?

545
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: Standing up for Christians is the Tucker Carlson lane. How

546
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: come I haven't heard this from back crowd?

547
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 4: Maybe Well, there are a couple of different explanations for that.

548
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 4: One of them might be that that's just an excuse

549
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 4: to advocate for certain things or against certain people. It's

550
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 4: a different sort of advocacy masquerading is standing up for Christians.

551
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 4: But in rural Nigeria, for instance, a few weeks ago,

552
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 4: jiehattists set fire to a temporary settlement housing hundreds of

553
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 4: Christians fleeing persecution as they slept, and those who fled

554
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 4: the fire were met with machetes and gunfire. The death

555
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: soul was probably over two hundred, making it the worst

556
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 4: attack in the region in recent memory. According to local clergymen,

557
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 4: they're begging the government to do something about it.

558
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: Is this specifically because they're Christians?

559
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, it is Boko Haram, you remember them.

560
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 4: In Nigeria, there are a series of attacks around Easter.

561
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 4: The targeted Christians there and in a similar region right

562
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 4: next door left that left more than two hundred dead

563
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 4: contributed to a staggering statistic in ben yuin Plateau, two

564
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 4: parts of Nigeria, more than ninety five hundred people have

565
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 4: been killed in similar attacks in the last two years.

566
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 4: According to Amnesty International. They have not been caught up

567
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 4: in fighting, they have not been combatants. They are sought

568
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 4: out and murdered for their religion. In this part of

569
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 4: the world. Boko Haram, whose name means Western education is forbidden,

570
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 4: started insurgency against the Nigerian government, but since then, both

571
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 4: Christians and Muslims who reject their radical Islamist views have

572
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 4: faced intense persecution, just absolutely insane. I guess half this

573
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: story is about the media in the US. Who if

574
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 4: there isn't a clear victim oppressor like situation, that's so

575
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 4: stupidly obvious anybody can follow it, like black people killing

576
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 4: black people, that's too complicated. Who's the colonial power there?

577
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 4: There isn't. It's been a country that's independent for a

578
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 4: very long time. It's a strong country, big economy, et cetera,

579
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 4: et cetera. They just won't report on it at all.

580
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 4: But yeah, Jihanis are slaughtering Christians as fast as they

581
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 4: can in various parts of the world. It's probably worth knowing.

582
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: Man.

583
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: I was watching a video out of Gaza yesterday. Boy,

584
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: there's a place you don't want to be whole.

585
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 4: Oh crap. Speaking of which, there's a headline in a

586
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 4: number of papers a US citizen was among two Palestinians

587
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 4: killed in an Israeli settler attack. This is in the

588
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 4: West Bank, not in Gaza. Apparently, this twenty year old

589
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 4: who is an American, he was visiting family on the

590
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 4: West Bank.

591
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: He participated.

592
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 4: In a demonstration against Israeli settlers who go into these

593
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 4: Palestinian run territories and like start towns because they want

594
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 4: the Jews to control that territory, not the Palestinians. Some

595
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 4: of them are militants, some of them are brutes and murderers,

596
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 4: some are not. It's very controversial in Israel as well

597
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 4: as anywhere else. But evidently rock throwing began by the

598
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 4: Palestinians escalated into a violent clash that included vandalism of

599
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 4: Palestinian property Arsen physical clashes and rock hurling, etc. And

600
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 4: this American kid was killed and it's a damn shame

601
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 4: these formed Port Charlotte, Florida. One interesting aspect of this

602
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 4: that tripped my trigger in reading it Israel captured the

603
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 4: West Bank from Jordan in the nineteen sixty seven war.

604
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 4: Palestinians and most of the world say the territory is

605
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 4: occupied by Israel and Israeli settlements that are illegal. Okay,

606
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 4: wait a minute, what just happened there? Did you catch that?

607
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 4: Did anybody catch that? Israel captured the West Bank from

608
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 4: Jordan in the nineteen sixty seven war, So presumably the

609
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 4: people there are Jordanians, not quote unquote Palestinians. Do they

610
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 4: just say Palestinians because they're not Jews or because they're

611
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 4: in that large plot of ground that the Brits had

612
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 4: temporarily designated as Palestine post World War One? Why are

613
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 4: they not Jordanians? Is it because that muddles the narrative?

614
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: Yes? That one?

615
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I just thought that was interesting.

616
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: Trying to get more out of this Trump announcement, But

617
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: there's just not as much there as I thought there

618
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: was going to be. I was misled by Lindsey Graham

619
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: watching the show yesterday, that this was going to be

620
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: a giant announcement that everybody's talking about.

621
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know if you've noticed. Occasionally Trump sends

622
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 4: his minions out to say things, particularly on the Sunday shows,

623
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 4: and then the next day they are contradicted by the

624
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 4: Big Man. It's happened many times. I wonder if Lindsey
