<v Speaker 3>Arms My coffee maker was on the fritz at home,

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 3>so I'm about to take my first sip of coffee

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 3>of the day courtesy of the company's coffee machine.

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, very nice, this special feeling, isn't it. Man, That's

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 2>just as good as I remember from yesterday. That's just

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 2>as good. Live from studio scene. He said, your dilly

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>lit room deeper.

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Than the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. Today, Friday,

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>we're under the tutelige of our general manager co general

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>managers today Jack number one, Vladimir Putin number two, three

<v Speaker 1>et cetera. Pie It's National Pie Day. I always to

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>prefer to go with twenty two seventh, since it's easier

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>and shorter. One of the greatest inventions mankind ever came

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>up with figuring out a number that would allow you

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to figure out the area of a circle.

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Brilliant.

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.679
<v Speaker 1>The guy who came up with it had to think,

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 1>let me check that one more time. It's just too

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>good to be true. Yeah, and it's named after the

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:38.119
<v Speaker 1>most delicious of desserts or a Greek letter. If you don't, yeah,

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess you haven't caught on. So today is March fourteenth,

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>three one four, three one four the number we all

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>we're all on board here, Yes, sorry, I should have

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>explained ry clever easier, Thank you, Michael Easier in print.

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>The fact that it's called pie and it helps you

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>determine the area determine the area of a circle. It's

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>just it's it's serendipity, it's it's it's God's harmony.

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 2>It's it's something, you know.

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I was just thinking as I took my first sip

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>of coffee the day and it hit me like it

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it hit me like not all the way there,

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>but like a percentage of your baby being born, having sex,

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>being on vacation, I mean, and it made me think

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>that this is the only drug I'm addicted to that

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I take at this point in my life, a caffeine

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know, it's fairly mild. And we're gonna play

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>a clip later of a drug addict on the streets

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>of San Francisco and talk a little bit about these

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>people and why they can't get their lives together or whatever.

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>But a fentanyl is, you know, whatever, it is a

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>million times this in terms of you need it so

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 1>bad and when you finally get it.

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 2>It's just, oh, thank god.

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, I understand because like this, I am really,

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>really a lot happier now than I was five minutes

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>ago from this zip of coffee.

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I my minor drug addiction. I hear you talking.

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's just endorphins. So on the other hand, axation.

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>If drinking coffee was going to absolutely ruin my life,

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>kill me, ruin my life, ruin other people's lives, I'd.

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Work pretty hard to quit it.

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, sure you have to, or society will take care

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 1>of your every need.

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>No, wait a minute, that's all. We were a little

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.079
<v Speaker 2>off here. Exactly. You have to quit.

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>You better quit, or we'll provide you housing and food

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of your life, but make.

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:25.959
<v Speaker 2>It as easy as possible not to quit.

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>So there, Well, they'll give you all the perfermalion you

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.239
<v Speaker 1>need to take the drugs, so you don't have to

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>find it on your own, but we allow you to

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>be completely lawless. But we might even provide the drugs

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and look the other way when you stealed by other

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>stuff you want, but really thinking you need to quit.

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>That's not an exaggeration either. That that little fanciful comedy

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>skit you just heard is not even an exaggeration.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 2>It's the reality in some places. Yes, yeah it is.

0:03:54.240 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>That was serious political commentary masquerating as a clever little comedy,

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>an impromptu comedy skit. That reminds me at some point. Well,

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll give the example.

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 2>First.

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>There's a piece that appears in cal Matters. It's actually

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.839
<v Speaker 1>a letter to the editor from a so called queer

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>parent in Sacramento, California, the capital of the great state

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>of cal Unicornia. And this person, I don't have the

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>verbage in front of me, says essentially the Gavin Newsom saying, yeah,

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 1>it's unfair to have what he would call trans women,

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 1>trans girls dudes in girls sports. You know, when he

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>was talking to Charlie Kirk the other day on that podcast,

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>and this person reacted saying that this was a travesty.

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>He has abandoned the lgbt Q. I a barbecue over

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 1>the power of three community, and it's akin to I

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:59.359
<v Speaker 1>can't remember genocide or wiping them off the map or

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>killing them with his own hands. And at some point

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>don't we have to look at a disconnect from reality

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>that profound as a mental illness.

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you think you.

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 1>Guys saying yeah, it's probably not fair, is all of

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>those things. And again I'll get the specific verbage because

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 1>it's so over the top, it's cuckoo nuts. But that's

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>a person who is unwell in their brain. And were

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>you relating that to the attitude towards drug addiction or

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>we well, yeah, I'm sorry, Yeah, yeah, I guess I

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>assumed it was self evident. But you're right, it's not

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>failure to recognize the plainly obvious dynamics of what's happening

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>with drug addicts at this point. It's maybe not quite

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>as cuckoo nuts, but it's I don't understand if you're

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>at all familiar with any of the verbiage of addiction,

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>including being an enabler and the rest of it, and

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 1>tough love and all of it. How is how do

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>we as a society, and at enormous expense, ignore all

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>of that accumulated now just seems crazy?

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, we'll probably talk about that more later.

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.840
<v Speaker 1>We're going to play some clips of a one guy

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>interviewed on the street ventonl addic because.

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 2>He had one bill too many in housing.

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>He did talk about because rent is too high and

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>he had Yeah, well he became a ventyl addic on

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the street. Yeah, that's hilarious that that's even a thing.

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>We should start the show officially. Am I crazed being

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 1>the first person even bringing this up. But just the

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>government shutdown is not going to happen now, not that

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I care. I don't care. Shut it down, don't shut

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>it down, whatever, shutdown for two ours, whatever, that makes

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>no difference to me. I'll never remember it after it happens.

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>They'll figure it out tomorrow morning. But it's most likely

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 1>not going to happen now, I guess. I guesses.

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Whatever. That's enough of that. I'm still making preparations just

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 2>in case.

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Sorry Fox and Friends in MSNBC, who've spent their entire

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>three hours on it this morning.

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Uh, that's all I need of it. Michael.

0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:02.000

<v Speaker 1>Throng and Getty and we approve of this show.

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's begin.

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Then officially, according to FCC rules and regulations, here we

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 1>go leaping into action.

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 4>Mat Mark, the federal government has set to shut down

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 4>on Friday at midnight, so to make some quick cash,

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 4>it's now PEPSI presents the Gulf of America.

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 2>That's good.

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I just saw a headline. So today is Friday during Lent.

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>You're not supposed to eat meat on Friday as a Catholics,

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 1>particularly during Lent. But alligator meat is okay to eat,

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 1>does count, does not count as meat. A ruling has

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>come in from somebody. So if you're planning on, oh.

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Thanks signed alligators. When I was a kid, I don't know.

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 2>They probably don't do this anymore.

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 1>When I was a kid, even at our public school,

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>they always had fish sandwiches on Friday to accommodate the

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>people that didn't eat meat on Fridays. Yeah, yeah, which

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.119
<v Speaker 1>I didn't mind. I like a nice cod Sando didn't

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>matter to me. They're probably gonna have a fish sandwich

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 1>one of the days. The fact that he put it

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>on Friday.

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Whatever. Does McDonald's even still have the fleo fish?

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 2>I was just there the other day.

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I did not look. Maybe I'll have to go back

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 1>today do more research. That was my order for ages

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.839
<v Speaker 1>when i'd go to McDaniels. I was a fish guy.

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:33.439

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.079
<v Speaker 1>which is probably every bit is unhealthy for some chemical reason.

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.439

<v Speaker 2>January fifteenth.

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm still battling with some of that guilt and that

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 5>shame in that dysphoria that was projected onto me during

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 5>that time.

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>This is a tornado.

<v Speaker 7>Oh, I needed to cancel it before I got the

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:47.680
<v Speaker 7>service to get the discount.

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>You're only eligible for the discount if you're uninsured.

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 8>No president in modern American history has had a more

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 8>eventful and consequential first seven weeks.

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 7>Canada should honestly become our fifty first seed.

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 2>It makes a lot of sense.

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>The Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 8>President Trump has a clear message for those that are

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 8>in our country illegally.

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 4>Leave now.

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>The consumer Price Index shows annual inflation at two point

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 1>eight percent.

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Why are you expecting a reception this year? I hate

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 2>to predict things like that.

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 9>I'm not like a block.

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.960
<v Speaker 2>They just I won't delay. I have it's called flexibility.

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 2>If you look at China, they have one hundred year perspective.

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 2>We have a quarter. We go by quarters. And I

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 2>think he's right about that.

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 6>Our interest payments are higher than our defense department budget.

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 6>That's I think was the real wake up culp for me,

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 6>which is most of the federal spendings and titlements. That's

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 6>that's like the big one to eliminate.

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Tesla is a perfect example, what we're calling the Tesla

0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Chainsaw massacre.

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.079
<v Speaker 9>Musk says his social media platform acts or formerly on

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.320
<v Speaker 9>his Twitter, was hit by a cyber attack.

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 1>A woman was arrested for throwing molotov cocktails at the

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>dealership and spray painting the word Nazi on the cars.

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 2>He didn't have to do this, He didn't have to

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 2>go through this. Look on the right side. I mean,

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.559
<v Speaker 2>what you doing this?

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 6>Boys?

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Looked on the right side of life. Elon's a very

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:32.199
<v Speaker 2>special person. He is a trust around Trump's. Now, now

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 2>here's the bed news.

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 7>I'm not allowed to drive because if I haven't driven

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 7>a car in a long time.

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.680
<v Speaker 9>You've got to come down to White House, Tesla Auto Mall.

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I love Tesler.

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 9>You gotta come down to White House Tesla Auto Mall.

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 2>This is really amazing.

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 1>That fake Tesla ad is so funny and it's got

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>it's all computer, it's all computer. Let's bring that back.

0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's play it early in the show. I thought it

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 1>was late yesterday. Yeah, a little that next segment. If

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you haven't heard it, it's pretty good. Uh yeah, very

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 1>very funny. Here's a quick question for you before we

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 1>get into the headlines. The gal and other people who

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>have been arrested for painting graffiti, but throwing molotov cocktails

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 1>for a political reason. That is political terrorism by definition. Yeah,

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>by the very legal definition. Will she be charged with

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.959
<v Speaker 1>that or some pittily ass a little you know, the

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:29.960
<v Speaker 1>hurling a flaming bottle in a commercial zone. Mister Reiner, Right,

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I wonder, All right, let's figure out who's reporting what.

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 5>It's the lead story with Katie Green Katie, Hey, you guys,

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 5>let's start with ABC. Schumer announces he'll vote to keep

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 5>the government open, likely avoiding a shutdown.

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 2>And I guess some Democrats.

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:48.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm gonna call my children and tell them the

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>national nightmares over. Yeah, you all enjoy gathering around the

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 1>cable news station and listening to people talk about that.

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 5>NBC Nearly one hundred protesters arrested after sit in at

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.440
<v Speaker 5>Trump Tower to demand release of Khalil.

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.119
<v Speaker 2>We watched that happen yesterday. It was all so performative.

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.680
<v Speaker 2>They sang and danced and had snacks and then lined

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 2>up to be arrested by the police who were like

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 2>barely paying attention. Also, it was all just a dance.

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 1>You gotta send an eight foot barren with a big club,

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 1>and clearly that place out the old way.

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 2>This is why tower.

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 1>And if they're just arrested and not arrested and charged,

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 1>who cares. That's nothing, It's performative.

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>As you said from the.

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 5>Washington Post, Columbia expels the students over building takeover in

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 5>pro Palestinian protests.

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 1>So it looks like the Trump crowd pulled back four

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 1>hundred million dollars of federal funding to Columbia because you're

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 1>outside of our rules. And then Columbia expelled a whole

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 1>bunch of those students, had closed down stuff, finding various people,

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of the things that a lot of us

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 1>wanted to happen, and now they're going to get their

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>four hundred million backs.

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 2>So it looks like it worked.

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 1>There is a lot of progress on the trying to

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 1>bring sanity to the college's frontie. It's going to be long,

0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>long fight, as I've said many times, but yeah, this

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.320
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely progress.

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 2>And what a lot of.

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 1>These actions by the administration have done is they've empowered

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 1>the sane people, the few sane people on campus to say, hey,

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 1>he's right, this place is breaking down.

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Let's fix it. Love it. Love it. From USA Today.

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 5>Ukraine says that Putin's response to US ceasfire plan is

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 5>quote very predictable and manipulative.

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've seen so many headlines suggesting that it means something. Again,

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a joke, but it's real. He has

0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 1>agreed in principle to the ceasefire. It just depends on

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:41.240
<v Speaker 1>the details.

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Means nothing, It doesn't mean anything. From Fox News.

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 5>Hamas agrees to release a Don Alexander, the last living American.

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Hostage, and they're releasing five hostages for dead, one alive.

0:15:55.960 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 5>From The Wall Street Journal Generation Xanax, The dark side

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 5>of America's wonder drug.

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I read this. I was going to bring it

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to everybody's attention a little bit later. On America's near

0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.600
<v Speaker 1>automatic faith in turning to a pill. I'm on a

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.400
<v Speaker 1>variety at different topic. Makes valarian root look like a

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 1>flimstone vitium vitamin.

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I would have been good if I could have said it. Yeah, good, idea,

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 2>damn it? From page six.

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 5>Tiger Woods secretly dating Vanessa Trump?

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Do you hear this? They're a good match. Vanessa Trump

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 2>and Tiger Woods are a couple and have been for

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 2>quite a while. Which one's Vanessa. I don't know, I

0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I'm one of the hot ones. Yeah yeah.

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 5>And finally the Babylon b NBA to allow Lebron James

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 5>to play in Giant hamster Ball so other players can't

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:47.000
<v Speaker 5>touch him.

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.120
<v Speaker 2>That sounds about that. Oh wow, Yeah, I swear.

0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>The Trump family raises hot little girls like piglets.

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 2>They have big.

0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Barns full of them, and they bring them upright and

0:16:58.480 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>turn them loose on the world. First of all, if

0:16:59.960 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>you only procreate with supermodels, that helps the genetics. And

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 1>then secondly, if you're not quite perfect, you start getting

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 1>operations even in your teams to fixity flaws.

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>So that's the way that works.

0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:13.720
<v Speaker 1>We got a whole bunch of stuff on the way,

0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 1>including that fake Tesla ad which is pretty funny. Armstrong

0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>and Getty.

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 9>Going on now with the White House Tesla Auto Mall.

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.240
<v Speaker 9>It's the biggest sale of the year.

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Very safe, it's very strong, heavy, it's all steel. Staler's.

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.400
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, come on down to Pennsylvania Avenue just off Route

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 9>twenty nine to get our best deal ever on a

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:34.439
<v Speaker 9>brand new Tesla.

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.360
<v Speaker 7>I want to make a good deal here if they

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 7>have one, which is.

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Thirty five thousand dollars, which is pretty low.

0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.920
<v Speaker 9>Get a model one with a different panel, and everything's computer.

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 9>This is a different panel to Everything's computer. So don't

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.639
<v Speaker 9>waste your time going to those other Tesla dealerships with

0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.119
<v Speaker 9>riots and flaming cyber trucks. You gotta come down to

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 9>white House Tesla Auto Mall.

0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:56.959
<v Speaker 2>I love Tesler.

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 9>You gotta come down to white House Tesla Auto Mall.

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:07.439
<v Speaker 2>Everything's computer. That is funny.

0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I was on a Tesla Reddit thread last night doing

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 1>research on something, and the number of people that have

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.639
<v Speaker 1>to throw in a caveat apology for I bought my

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Tesla before and knew who Elon was, but I was

0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 1>wondering if you could you know that sort of thing

0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:27.080
<v Speaker 1>have to throw in a little disclaimer because they're so ashamed. Yeah,

0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what tribe you're in. I'm just asking

0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 1>about how to get more trouble out of the stereo,

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 1>you know exactly.

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:41.119
<v Speaker 2>It's so tiresome. Ah. Speaking of business, I am struggling.

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 1>To find someone of heft in the business community or

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.480
<v Speaker 1>an analyst who says, hey, this tariff thing, it's gonna

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 1>work out great. Everybody's gonna really appreciate it. I'm not

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.440
<v Speaker 1>saying there's nobody, but I'm struggling to find that. Well,

0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:00.480
<v Speaker 1>we got word jd Vance, He of the articulate tongue,

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.959
<v Speaker 1>has more or less explained from strategy, and we are

0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.159
<v Speaker 1>going to play that for you in a moment or two.

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 1>But first let's start with Jackie Heunrick in forty Michael.

0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I didn't say we're not concerned. I'm not concerned about

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:15.360
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of volatility.

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Over three weeks, another day of market turbulence.

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:23.320
<v Speaker 10>Investors unnerved as twenty five percent tariffs and foreign aluminum.

0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 1>And steel went into effect, prompting protest from the European Union.

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 2>We call them the US to immediately revoke.

0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 10>The terraces and retaliation, the EU imposing its own charges

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:35.880
<v Speaker 10>on American imports, including bourbon.

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Here's Senator and noted lawn debris scatterers, Rand Paul in

0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:44.320
<v Speaker 1>forty one.

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:46.640
<v Speaker 7>The tariff wars are a big mistake and not good

0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:51.640
<v Speaker 7>for my state. From bourbon distillers to car manufacturers, to

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:55.520
<v Speaker 7>the maker's of fences, to the builders of homes, to

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.160
<v Speaker 7>our farmers, Nobody in Kentucky's coming up to me and say,

0:19:58.160 --> 0:19:59.560
<v Speaker 7>please put tariffs on things.

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:04.399
<v Speaker 1>Horse meat, exporters in Kentucky. I'm assuming, right, But so

0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:08.240
<v Speaker 1>you've got it. As always with any issue, it's tough

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:14.359
<v Speaker 1>to find a a fair broker on their thoughts because

0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:18.159
<v Speaker 1>politicians have to show they're reacting to people's immediate needs.

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:24.439
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street or the stock market reacts to business's quarterly needs.

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:31.399
<v Speaker 1>And Trump's play is very long term, like decades. Maybe,

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.119
<v Speaker 1>so that's the way it needs to be discussed, but

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.440
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to find anybody wants to discuss it that way, right,

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.040
<v Speaker 1>And it's difficult to find a political analyst. And I'm

0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.920
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent open to this notion because I love

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.879
<v Speaker 1>the idea of thinking beyond the next election, actually planning

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:48.199
<v Speaker 1>for the future in a way that benefits America. But

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I can't find many, if any political analysts who say

0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>yes in spite of Trump's extremely short runway because it'll

0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 1>be out office in you know, three and a half

0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>years roughly. A super long term play will work for

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:06.399
<v Speaker 1>these reasons, because the problem is, as much as I

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 1>might want them to work, it won't bear enough fruit

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:13.159
<v Speaker 1>to gain public support in the time he has, or

0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:17.440
<v Speaker 1>perhaps even the time he and his successor have. But again,

0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I've got a completely open mind about this stuff. I'm

0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 1>just I'm not I'm not finding that answer. Well, and

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.159
<v Speaker 1>help if the Trump White House stopped saying things that

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 1>are completely ridiculous, like we're going to pay off the

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:30.720
<v Speaker 1>deficit with this or things.

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Like that that laughable.

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, Well, and then there's the circul circular logic

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.240
<v Speaker 1>of well, you've pointed out the fentanyl thing is just

0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 1>a pretext. This really doesn't have anything to do with

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 1>punishing people for fentanyl. It's country specifically. It's just about

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 1>restructuring trade. One more forty four. This is Vickynwinn on NBC.

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.639
<v Speaker 10>Between new steel and aluminum tariffs and twenty five percent

0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.680
<v Speaker 10>tariffs on auto imports from Mexico and Canada set to

0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:01.920
<v Speaker 10>start in April. One estimate says car prices could soon

0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.760
<v Speaker 10>increase by as much as twelve thousand dollars.

0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:08.120
<v Speaker 1>WHOA, that's a good example of how the media operates.

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 2>One estimate, right.

0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I estimate it'll pick them up by fourteen thousand dollars.

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Really quote me now, right, So they're going for the

0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 1>most exciting number they can. It's like weather forecasts. They

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:22.719
<v Speaker 1>never underestimate how bad storms are going to be. But

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:25.399
<v Speaker 1>there's a damn good chances you've been saying now for

0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks that these new prices set in

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>and everybody's like, holy crap.

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, well absolutely gone here.

0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:37.719
<v Speaker 1>Well and particularly if the trade war endoors for more

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:41.600
<v Speaker 1>than a couple of weeks, right, Yeah, exporters and manufacturers.

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Are going to get murdered in the short term.

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 1>But again Trump's saying long term, and I'm not pooh

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:50.760
<v Speaker 1>poohing the idea of a horizon price of car car

0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:54.399
<v Speaker 1>prices because aluminum steel are incredibly important to manufacturing cars,

0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and we get most of it from or a lot

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:59.440
<v Speaker 1>of it from over six cars there could wow wow,

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:02.640
<v Speaker 1>bring back it's the woodie surf in USA. Man, good

0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:06.680
<v Speaker 1>times anyway. Ah, but it will have an effect, no doubt.

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:10.560
<v Speaker 1>So setting the scene by describing all of the angst

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 1>here he is the eloquent, the educated, the articulate JD.

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Vans.

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:19.879
<v Speaker 8>First of all, I think the President's been very clear

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:22.920
<v Speaker 8>he wants to impose tariffs on foreign importers because he

0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:25.200
<v Speaker 8>wants to bring investment and jobs back to the United

0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:27.399
<v Speaker 8>States of America. So what I'd say to those business

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:29.480
<v Speaker 8>leaders is, I think the President has actually been quite

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:32.359
<v Speaker 8>clear about what he wants to accomplish. Build more in

0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:34.920
<v Speaker 8>the United States of America, invest more in the United

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.360
<v Speaker 8>States of America, raised wages for workers in the United

0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:39.280
<v Speaker 8>States of America, and you don't have to pay these

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:42.440
<v Speaker 8>tariffs at all. There is, as the President has said,

0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:45.359
<v Speaker 8>a recognition that we have to accept, which is that, Look,

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:48.760
<v Speaker 8>Joe Biden left this economy in a disaster. He ran

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:51.840
<v Speaker 8>the highest peacetime deficits we've ever had in this country.

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 8>He left us with a significant debt crisis. And the

0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 8>President has come in and said, look, we have to

0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 8>accomplish a lot of things simultaneously. We have to bring

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:01.439
<v Speaker 8>down inflation, which I think we're making some good progress on.

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:05.080
<v Speaker 8>We have to actually ensure critical government services like social

0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:08.359
<v Speaker 8>Security and the military function for the American people. And

0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:12.399
<v Speaker 8>we also have to force businesses to invest more, not overseas,

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.120
<v Speaker 8>not in Chinese workers, but in American workers.

0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:18.719
<v Speaker 1>So Mark Alpern wrote in his newsletter today that was

0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:22.120
<v Speaker 1>one of Vance's best moments as a vice president so far.

0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Trying to explain the tariffs to Maga, Wall Street and

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the suburbs. He doesn't, you know, maybe politically you just

0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:32.879
<v Speaker 1>can't get into the long term pain.

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:37.119
<v Speaker 2>It would take yeah, to accomplish this. Yeah, he threw in.

0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:40.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're doing a good job battling inflation. There

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:44.919
<v Speaker 1>is nobody, but nobody who doesn't say, even if this

0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:47.120
<v Speaker 1>is a good idea and it works, it will drive

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 1>up prices significantly for a very long time.

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Wow. You know, the.

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 1>The persuadables, as they call him, the chunk of the country.

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 1>However big it is that kind of goes by gas

0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:06.199
<v Speaker 1>prices and grocery prices and that sort of stuff, and

0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 1>that's how they vote. They don't have any other ideology. Man,

0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:13.879
<v Speaker 1>they could turn fast. Yeah, yeah, and again. As a

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:15.760
<v Speaker 1>guy with an open mind on this stuff, and I

0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:21.920
<v Speaker 1>understand how globalization has failed American workers, and you've gotten

0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 1>us intertwined with the evil Chinese in a way that

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:27.560
<v Speaker 1>is completely unhealthy. So I would like this stuff to

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:32.280
<v Speaker 1>work in a good way. But there's just no arguing

0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 1>with the idea that globalization as we knew it for

0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the last fifty years has brought us cheap goods, and

0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:43.360
<v Speaker 1>uncoupling from that, even in a smart way, even partially,

0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 1>will raise the price of goods. It will make life

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:49.480
<v Speaker 1>more expensive, It will raise inflation, it will cause some

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:53.879
<v Speaker 1>pain in the pocket book, and I just wonder. I

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 1>wonder a if it'll work at all, and b if

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:00.639
<v Speaker 1>the American people will put up with the it's like

0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 1>a version of an austerity plane that's necessary to get

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 1>it up and going.

0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:04.679
<v Speaker 2>I just don't know.

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:09.400
<v Speaker 1>And this is more this is still somewhat theoretical as

0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 1>opposed to like I was listening to a podcast yesterday,

0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:14.719
<v Speaker 1>were talking about Reagan gave a big speech in the

0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 1>early eighties when he came in and they just jacked

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:24.000
<v Speaker 1>up interest rates like crazy because inflation was so high.

0:26:24.080 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>And he gave a speech about how this is the

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>way to kill off inflation. It's going to be brutal

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:29.960
<v Speaker 1>for a while, you know, hang with it and it'll

0:26:29.960 --> 0:26:32.400
<v Speaker 1>bring down inflation. And his approval rating went way down

0:26:32.920 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 1>there in his first term, but it worked. It killed

0:26:34.920 --> 0:26:37.919
<v Speaker 1>off inflation, and then the economy roared, and you know,

0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 1>he won forty nine states a couple of years later.

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:46.120
<v Speaker 1>But killing off inflation you can do pretty fast raising

0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:50.600
<v Speaker 1>interest rates the way they did restructuring the global economy

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 1>versus China, Can you do it at all?

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:55.400
<v Speaker 2>And how long would it take? Is it well?

0:26:55.640 --> 0:27:02.359
<v Speaker 1>And versus Canada and Mexico and France and England. I mean,

0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:05.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not all the evildoers. It's a lot of our

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:09.439
<v Speaker 1>best buddies. And yeah, I just And if it's the

0:27:09.480 --> 0:27:16.680
<v Speaker 1>idea is moving toward reciprocal tariffs or no tariffs, which

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:20.560
<v Speaker 1>is sometimes the reasoning the White House gives, then we'd

0:27:20.600 --> 0:27:23.600
<v Speaker 1>be negotiating that as opposed to just putting huge tariffs

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.280
<v Speaker 1>on and explaining how that's going to balance the budget

0:27:26.520 --> 0:27:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and bring manufacturing back. Which of those goals is it?

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Because those are two very different goals. I need to

0:27:32.800 --> 0:27:34.760
<v Speaker 1>talk to my dad about this. He follows economics a

0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:36.200
<v Speaker 1>lot more than I do. Dad, I'm gonna call you

0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:38.359
<v Speaker 1>today and talk to you about tariffs, so be prepared.

0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:43.560
<v Speaker 1>That'll be you know, and the grandkids TIFFs are mostly tariffs.

0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:45.600
<v Speaker 6>Just you know.

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:49.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to figure out, are are there magas in

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the stock market who are willing to feel like, yeah,

0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:54.320
<v Speaker 1>this is a good long term play. I don't know

0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:56.359
<v Speaker 1>if you make long term plays when you're eighty seven, Dad,

0:27:56.720 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 1>but are there people out there, you know that are

0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 1>super maga that uh.

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Think I'm in? I'm in.

0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I understand the long term restructuring of the world economy.

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:10.760
<v Speaker 1>It's going to take a while, right right, right? Uh,

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:13.719
<v Speaker 1>you know it, man, I don't because I don't want

0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:15.840
<v Speaker 1>to be knee jerk negative for a number of reasons here,

0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:17.720
<v Speaker 1>because I like the idea of on shoring a lot

0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:21.160
<v Speaker 1>of critical industries, and we need to recognize the restructuring

0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:22.919
<v Speaker 1>of the world, because it's just happening, whether you like,

0:28:22.920 --> 0:28:24.399
<v Speaker 1>whether you recognize.

0:28:23.920 --> 0:28:26.040
<v Speaker 2>It or not. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 1>The concern I have, which I have not fully articulated

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:32.119
<v Speaker 1>until this moment, is that we will go through a

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 1>process of enduring the short term pain disruption and and

0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you know however bad that pain is, and then abandon

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 1>the plan and not get the long term benefit from it. Right,

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:54.760
<v Speaker 1>undergo the painful procedure and die anyway, right, I'm trying

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:58.760
<v Speaker 1>to think of some examples. Doesn't really need one, because

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 1>that that spells out pretty good. Because there's lots of

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:05.720
<v Speaker 1>things you do in life, like you you know, yeah,

0:29:05.760 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 1>you take maybe you're taking ozimpic and trying to lose

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 1>weight or something like that. But if you don't, you know,

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:15.640
<v Speaker 1>follow through on various things, it doesn't make any difference.

0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Thinking about people who take legal or illegal ways to

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 1>like grow muscle, but don't work out. So they take

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>this stuff, but they don't actually work out, and so

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:30.440
<v Speaker 1>you get all the way downside with this shrunken testicles.

0:29:30.480 --> 0:29:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you get all the downside with none of the upside.

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll see. It's gonna be fun to watch. And no, no,

0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna be fun to watch. You gonna be

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:43.920
<v Speaker 1>miserb No, on a strictly academic level. Yes, uh, if

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:49.200
<v Speaker 1>you're like crazy independently wealthy, yeah, it'll be interesting. Well

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:51.080
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of us, well, imagine the way the

0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 1>media is going to handle it. If cars go up

0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:56.800
<v Speaker 1>six thousand dollars a car on average or more, imagine

0:29:56.840 --> 0:29:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the way the media is gonna hammer that well. Yeah,

0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:01.920
<v Speaker 1>and that's why I'm so painstakingly trying to sound neutral

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:04.480
<v Speaker 1>on this, and I am neutral on this, is because

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:07.760
<v Speaker 1>they will stoke up fear they're already doing it as

0:30:07.880 --> 0:30:12.040
<v Speaker 1>fast and as hot as they can downplay any benefits completely,

0:30:12.080 --> 0:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>they'll be completely dishonest.

0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:17.880
<v Speaker 2>At every moment. March madness is in full sway.

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Brackets get to set up on Sunday just to came

0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:24.680
<v Speaker 1>across some information about legal gambling all across the country,

0:30:24.680 --> 0:30:26.760
<v Speaker 1>which is a fairly new thing in the gazillions of

0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:28.640
<v Speaker 1>dollars we all spend on it, and what all that means.

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we'll talk about that a little bit later as

0:30:31.040 --> 0:30:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you head into March Madness weekend.

0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:38.200
<v Speaker 2>We've got mail bag on the way. Stay here. So

0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:38.960
<v Speaker 2>it's Friday.

0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I drove to work on Friday, like I always do

0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 1>on Friday's jam and music instead of listening news. I

0:30:43.400 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 1>had Tom Petty blaston and was really enjoying myself everything

0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:48.840
<v Speaker 1>like that. So it's surprising to me that I'm saying this,

0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 1>but I just read an article in the Wall Street

0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:55.959
<v Speaker 1>Journal about a department in the US government that is

0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:58.760
<v Speaker 1>probably one you don't know anything about and I don't

0:30:58.760 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 1>know anything about, and it's probably what has made you

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:03.880
<v Speaker 1>miserable more than practically anything else in your life. And

0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the Trump the crowd is trying to reform. And it's

0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:10.680
<v Speaker 1>really interesting. We all, I mean, even those of us

0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:15.760
<v Speaker 1>who pay close attention, understand so little about what is

0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:20.200
<v Speaker 1>going on in our contrillion dollar government. I would agree.

0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I've got another example of that we can squeeze in

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Next Hour. I hope you can get next Hour if

0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:25.560
<v Speaker 1>you don't grab the podcast Armstrong and get on demand.

0:31:25.600 --> 0:31:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Here's your freedom love and quote.

<v Speaker 1>Of the day, taking a break from our series from

0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:32.480

<v Speaker 1>you Tim. A note from Zach here, Valerian sucks. We've

0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 1>been talking about Valerian root this week. Two of the

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 1>greatest nights of sleep I've ever had. But then it's

0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:48.200
<v Speaker 1>like being drugged all day long. Katie almost died her

0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 1>heart racing. We don't know if it's the Valarian root,

0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:55.160
<v Speaker 1>but we suspected. Yeah, let's see, he writes, and apologies

0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:57.440
<v Speaker 1>for the mild obscenities here. It gives you weird ass

0:33:57.520 --> 0:34:00.080
<v Speaker 1>dreams and can be liver toxic, and additionally all the

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:03.160
<v Speaker 1>weird side effects like giving Katie's heart a panic attack.

0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:07.680
<v Speaker 2>My recommenation works pretty well for me. Is a terrible sleeper?

0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:13.839
<v Speaker 1>Is magnesium, glysonate, kast and nine and melatonin. You can

0:34:13.840 --> 0:34:16.200
<v Speaker 1>find supplements that have all of them. Apparently I took

0:34:16.280 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 1>magniqium last time. But the melatonin I worry because then

0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:22.680
<v Speaker 1>then does your brain stop producing the amount of melatone

0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and he used to, and you end up always having

0:34:24.520 --> 0:34:25.280
<v Speaker 1>to take melatonin.

0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm concerned about. I do not know.

0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, do we have time for this? Oh, Okay,

0:34:31.360 --> 0:34:33.839
<v Speaker 1>Greg writes, guys about the guy who was shot by

0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:36.680
<v Speaker 1>his dog. Can't believe you haven't figured out the real story.

0:34:37.360 --> 0:34:39.960
<v Speaker 1>The girl in his bed shot him. Then they blamed

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 1>it on the dog, like people do after passing gas.

0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:44.560
<v Speaker 2>So why would he go along with that story?

0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, obviously because he is a guy, and I can't

0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:50.040
<v Speaker 1>read that because you know it's the girl in his bed.

0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:51.959
<v Speaker 1>He wants her to come back, even though she shot

0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 1>him in the leg.

0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:52.919
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, I kind of suspected that that there's something along

0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:57.960
<v Speaker 1>those lines at the beginning, and they they had to

0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:02.520
<v Speaker 1>avoid some sort of federal gun charges. Blame it on

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the dog. Yeah, then two great emails we don't have

0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:08.719
<v Speaker 1>time for. Have to squeeze them in next hour. I

0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:11.000
<v Speaker 1>lost my head, You lost your head, we'd been drinking.

0:35:11.000 --> 0:35:11.480
<v Speaker 2>You shot me.

0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's blame it on the dog, right exactly. Hey you're hot,

0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm kinda hot. Let's let's see if we can patch

0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:20.080
<v Speaker 1>this thing up, or at least someone willing to have

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 1>sex with meh. If you miss a segment of the podcast,
