I mean a six 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:33.199 pound show and a five pound bag. That's when we've 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.720 got crafted for you to kick off a brand new week. 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.519 It's gonna be really challenging to squeeze it all in. 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.760 We ought to talk about the giant bust of illegal immigrants, 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.760 including many many gang members, guns, drugs, etc. And charming 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:51.040 Colorado springs, the budding relationship between the US and India 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.480 that might be among our most important going you know, 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:55.880 through the next fifty years. 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.600 Joe doesn't want to talk about the two year old 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.120 who was booted out to the country with how do 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:02.520 process who has cancer? 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.160 That's that two year old was a gang member. I'm 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:06.880 fine with it. 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:10.000 That's the portrayal of mainstream media. Marco Rubio has a 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.640 different take on that story. We can get to later 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:13.080 this hour. 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.080 Yes, yes, but first a brand new feature at And 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.400 because I like to put names on feature atts, we 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.600 need to choose a name. And Michael, I'm going to 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:24.959 leave this up to you. You know how we have 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:29.600 a look in the China cabinet about stories about China. Yeah, 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.760 well these are all stories about Canada. I got it. 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.640 I got it already. Well you've got it. I have 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.240 three choices here, Oh okay, and my own, but go ahead. 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:44.080 Well let's let's hear your what's yours moose musines? Oh lord, 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.040 moose musings from Canada. 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:48.920 Wow. 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:53.840 Well let's you know what will take your consideration under 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.240 advisement and keep it on file. Here are your three choices. 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:03.559 Opening a can of Canada not good? Two Canada more 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:09.520 than snow and moose other moose friends? Or yes we Canada. 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.920 I like that. I do like that. Good welcome to 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:18.800 Yes we Canada. Look at our neighbor to the north. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.160 That's a very churchy version of the national anthem. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.640 Estanda does have a cool national anthem that I only 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.080 hear if the Toronto Blue Jays are in the World 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:32.280 Series or the. 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:34.959 You know, if you're a hockey fan, you hear it 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.600 all the time. Yeah, that's I hate to interrupt it 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.000 and cause more strength between our two countries. So hear 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:47.080 a couple of stories about Canada label obsession, grips Canada shoppers, 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.239 have shunned American products. You know, maybe I shouldn't have 0:02:50.320 --> 0:03:00.520 led with that one. The Trump unnecessarily humiliating Canada over 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.400 and over again, this is my opinion, in the name 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:08.960 of humiliating young mister Trudeau, Pennyways Trudeau there has turned 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:13.119 Canada staunchly against the United States. A lot of Canadians 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.960 because they are patriots and they're proud of their country 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.960 and there was just no reason to debate them like that. 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:25.520 But probably most significantly certain Marco Rubio doubled down on 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.560 that yesterday. What do you say on facination? 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.880 Well, he was asked about does Trump want to make 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.160 Canada the fifty first state? 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.640 And Marco said, well. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:40.320 The reason for this was Canada saying that they can't 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.040 support themselves with their current blah blah blah blah blah, 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.360 and so Donald Trump just made the point that, well, 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.960 if you can't support yourself financially on your own, maybe 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.200 you should become the fifty first state. And he said, 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.880 I haven't seen any indication that they are in better 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:55.960 financial shape now. 0:03:55.880 --> 0:04:00.040 So yeah, that is absolutely why he said that, But 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.000 he laid it on a bit thick. In my opinion, 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.320 one of our closest friends and trading partners has now 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.680 been turned against US. And old Pierre Pouliev, who I 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.000 liked very much, who looked like a shoe in to 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:15.040 be the next prime minister because he is somewhat associated 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.760 with trumpiness and the Left Labor Party has gone full 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.560 on anti Trump. It looks like they might win the 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:26.200 next election, which is this week actually, but we'll see. 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.080 We'll see. Polls are often misleading. 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.760 And this guy that if he won, the left guy won, 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.359 would he be to the left of Trudeau? 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.160 Hard to say. He's a much more practical guy. He's 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:42.240 a banker and diplomat and uh wear panti because we 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.680 wear panties, you know what. I there, He isn't a 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.839 pink time maybe Jerry's still out. Uh So we'll have 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:53.120 to see how that election goes. But evidently boycotting American 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:58.520 products has really taken hold in Canada. Canada has a 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.840 label fixation. As tensions with their neighbors rise, Canadians are 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.119 turning away from US made products to appeal increasingly anti 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.960 American shoppers. Brands and retailers are touting and in some cases, 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:13.240 embellishing their Canadian credentials. In a practice that's become known 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.920 as maple washing or maple glazing. Wow. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.799 I always wondered to what extent this stuff is actually happening. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.479 I remember, after France wouldn't help us in the Iraq War, 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.599 there was the whole freedom fries thing, which was more 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.320 which was more words than I don't know. I mean, 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.560 did you abandon French fries? 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.720 I don't know. No, no, I should, but I didn't. 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:43.520 Labels like designed in Canada, prepared for Canada, distilled in Canada, 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:48.440 and proudly serving Canadians are proliferating, puzzling shoppers looking for 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:52.760 a country of origin information anyway, So that's a thing. 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:54.560 How long it's a thing and how big a thing? 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:55.280 I don't know. 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.800 Let's see, we already did that. And then I thought 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.000 that this was interesting. Here's the headline from the Wall 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.960 Street Journal, why smart Canadians are fleeing for the US. 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.400 And this is to the truth behind what Trump said 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:15.080 and what Rubio was echoing. Although sometimes you can do 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.039 the right thing in the wrong way, and I still 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.000 say there's no reason the alienated or good buddies the Canadians. 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:25.240 But the subhead to this article is it started with 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:29.440 Justin Trudeau's father, Pierre, who destroyed accountability in Ottawa. And 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:34.000 this is the interesting part to me, and the quote, actually, Jack, 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.960 what you were describing When Justin Trudeau responded to Trump's 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.800 suggestion that the threat of tariffs might prompt Canada to 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.920 spend more on defense and border protection, Trudeau said Canada 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.560 cannot then survive as a nation state, and Trump said, well, 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.440 maybe Canada be better off as the fifty first state. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:54.640 I still find that funny. 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:55.960 It is. 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.479 Look, just because it's funny doesn't mean you should have 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.520 said it. Didn't your dad say that to me at 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:06.880 some time? Yeah? Yeah, as did mine. Anyway, and they 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.400 go into Canada, forty million people, enormous natural resources, vast 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.840 swallows of land, natural wealth, blah blah blah, and Trudeau 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.360 thought a tiff Reno negotiation could be the end of 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.960 his country. I mean, come on now. But this is 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.560 where it gets so interesting. Missing in debates about free 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.360 trading tariffs is discussion about the movement of people people 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.920 between US and Canada. The Census Bureau says one hundred 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.920 and twenty six thousand Canadians moved to the US in 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:36.040 twenty twenty two, which is up from seventy five twenty twelve. 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:40.880 It's that's almost double, it's two thirds more. Among those 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:46.360 headed south are Canada's top technical talents, attracted by high salaries, 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.840 wide varieties of work, and greater career options. You got 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:53.440 the University of Waterloo software engineering class, it's one of 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.480 the top ones up there. More than seventy percent accepted 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:03.080 jobs in the US. And a calculation puts the wealth 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.120 transfer from the exodus of so many smart young Canadians 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.480 at tens a billion dollars a year, if not hundreds 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.160 of billions. It's difficult to put a financial value on that. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.480 But if all of your best and bright to say, yeah, 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.120 thanks for the education, by I'm off to the States. Sure, 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.400 the numbers floating around the tariff debate are a rounding 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:27.120 error compared to the brain drain numbers. And the weakening 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.280 of Canada has a lot to do with the disastrous 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.480 fiscal and regulatory policies started by old Man Trudeau in 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.120 the seventies. And that's when Canada's brain drain began, and 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.800 accountability has never been restored. And here's the part that's 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:44.360 all about governance. If Canada wants stronger negotiation positions, on trade. 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.800 It should reform domestic fiscal and regulatory policies to retain 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.560 talent and attract more from the rest of the world. Instead, 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.320 Canada is trying to force people to stay. This week, 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.880 Quebec's provincial government passed a bill compelling new doctors to 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.160 spend their first five years of their careers working in 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:03.760 Quebec's public health network WOW, and doctors who take a 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.200 job in the private sector moved to another province before 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.000 the five years are over face fines of as much 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.720 as two daily finds of up to two hundred thousand 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.120 Canadian dollars per day. 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.880 When you're having to find or threaten people to get 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.240 people to stay in your country, that's a problem. 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:25.040 Yeah, I would say tariffs and taxes don't make societies 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.400 prosper retaining and attracting skilled discipline people who believe in 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:32.560 their countries future does Think of seventeenth century Amsterdam, post 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.760 war West Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, Israel, and the US 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:42.280 all experienced a massive in migration, drain of brains. All 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:46.920 had decentralized deep financial markets and decentralization, I should say, 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.640 and gradual access to welfare benefits not you move in 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.319 and you've got free welfare like Canada does it does 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.240 there even worse than us. Restricting the movement of people 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.680 only leads to more rose unstable societies that blame others 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.320 for the failures. I had never heard a word about 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.359 the brain drain from Canada. I found that very enlightening. 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:12.240 That's your Yes, we Canada. 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:12.720 I get. 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.839 A loose noise and then it ends, I don't know, 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:21.800 Michael's something else, a moose noise, the bellow of the 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:22.720 mighty moose. 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.320 So whenever I drive away from my house, my house, 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:28.080 that's funny. 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.040 Oh wow, it's like Canadian is infectious. 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.719 Right, we talk about Canada and that just slips into 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.040 my vocabulary. 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:36.640 It slipped out of you. 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.520 When I drive away from my house, I'm happy to 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.760 see my simply safe sign that alerts people that I've 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:46.880 got cameras, indoors, outdoors, active guard life protection there going on. 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.360 That keeps my house safe. And it costs about a 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.880 dollar a day, which is amazing. Oh, it's amazing, especially 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:55.360 given the technology that's behind their monitoring and FBI crime 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.880 data shows breakings are more likely during the day than 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.160 under the cloak and night, which is interesting. So you 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.480 got simply safe Active guard outdoor protection that helps prevent 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:07.240 breakings before they happen.

And they're 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.640 no long term contracts or cancellation fees, and as Jack 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.400 pointed out, monitoring plans to affordably around a bucket day 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.640 visit simply safe dot com slash armstrong.

There's 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:37.800 no safe like simply safe. 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.000 So we were my son and I were in San 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:46.600 Francisco Saturday night when the Warriors were playing in the 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.200 NBA playoffs in there, just down the street, and I 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:50.840 wish I had been popped into my head out I'd 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.920 gotten a ticket and gone to a game. I really 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.320 should have done that anyway. Steph Curry looked like he 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.440 was twenty five and not thirty five, and Warriors up 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.240 to one, but Lakers are three to one in their 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:05.160 first round series. That's bad news for the NBA if 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:11.960 their biggest stars get eliminated. AnyWho the NBA playoffs. The 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:17.040 NBA playoffs last two months. That's ridiculous. Uh, that's ridiculous. 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:21.160 That's like a season. Yes, and teams make the playoffs 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:22.920 who are way below five hundred. 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.880 Also, that's also to say, what is the word joke? 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.440 So we never got to Scott Pelly, who ended sixty 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:34.839 Minutes last night with a bit of a blast about. 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.080 You never got to Scott Pelly. 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.880 Independence and journalism and how important it is, which is 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.760 kind of funny on the heels of a few things. 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.280 Sixty minutes is done in the last couple of years. 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:49.200 But it's kind of funny on my heels. 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:51.840 And if you're gonna do a Scott Pelley, you gotta 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.200 wear a tight dress shirt with your big giant arms 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.760 so everybody knows giant arm. I'm not sure everybody can 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.040 see my bicep in this shirt. Can we tell her 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:02.840 this shirt. 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:07.959 A little tighter? What Scott, the fabric is straining to 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.559 contain your guns? Still that and other stuff on the 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.880 way stay here Art. 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.000 Maybe we should pump the brakes on the new trend 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.680 of selling pharmaceuticals by way of promotional tie ins with 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:22.960 movies for children. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:24.960 Yeah, that's right. 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:29.199 Snow White has partnered with Allegra because Allegra helps you 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:35.080 not be sleepy or sneezy. Get it, so kids, Remember, 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:44.520 if you're bashful, try riddling.

But yeah, 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.080 that that movie's got to partner with something, although we're 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:00.560 going to see it are as. 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:05.040 You pointed out some good dwarf jokes based on their nicknames. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:12.760 But am I bothered that major pharmaceutical company is joined 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.080 with a promotion of a movie. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:15.079 I don't. I don't think I am. 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.000 Of all the things I need to be worried about 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.280 in the world, that's not one of them. 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.600 It was an excuse to get to those jokes with 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:25.240 those dwarfs. They get their nickname, like Sneezy. What if 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.480 I have a cough, Hey, let's call him Kaufo for 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.040 the rest of his life. Whoa dude, I've got like 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:36.320 a respiratory thing for a week and now I'm Kaufo. Yes, Sneezy, please, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:37.440 I might be kaufo. 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:43.080 I've been sick for going on three weeks, same disease 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.200 for three weeks. Although I get sick easily, I'm weak. 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.000 The herd should kick me to the side and let 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:48.160 the lions eat me. 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.560 Yeah, we're having the final vote today. 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.680 That but anyway, so Bill Maher Friday Night HBOI has 0:14:54.760 --> 0:15:00.960 al Gore on who Al Gore was elected of vice 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.800 president thirty two years ago? 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:05.080 Is that right? 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:06.600 Wow? 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.120 And is still a year long younger than our current president. 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:15.960 That's quite chucking the math on that. AnyWho, he was 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.320 talking to Bill Maher about the Internet, and you really. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.760 Did You really were instrumental in the Internet. 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:27.400 I can never claim to have invented it, but actually 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.920 moving the what was a small network in the Defense 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:37.560 Department to public access that became the Internet was something 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.840 that I worked on with others when I was in 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:45.680 the House in the Senate, and then it really came 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.600 into fruition after I got into the White House. But 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.880 we passed the legislation putting a billion dollars a year 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.280 into it, and that's what really lifted it up. 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.800 As I say, you're the devil for doing that, Well, 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:03.520 they really after you for that yeah. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.080 And you know to the Internet. We all use it every. 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:11.840 Day, honest to God, not being jokey. Here are we 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:13.880 better off with the Internet or without it? 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.760 That is? Uh, I think we're better off without it. 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.440 If there were a way to achieve some of the 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.960 positives that avoided the negatives, I would be in favor 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.480 of him. Absolutely, willing to spend time and money to 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:31.960 pursue it. 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:38.520 Absolutely, there are tremendous benefits. But I don't give me. 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.400 You know, some youths that feel more connected thanks to 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:46.120 social media go to hell. Well, you didn't give that 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:47.040 person much time. 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:53.400 If it destroys society, which it's working on, I think. 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:58.600 I don't know. No positives outweigh that, do they not? Really? 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.640 No? If people stop having kids because of Internet porn 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.919 and human beings go away, you can't say, yeah, but 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:05.879 it was easier to read. 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.440 The New York Times. I mean, come on, right, right, 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:14.800 I get pictures of my grandchildren more quickly. Okay, wait, wait, 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.360 you don't have any grandchildren in this scenario. 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:18.520 Yeah? 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:22.280 What that might be among the most consequential decisions human 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.000 kind ever made, right up there with the split in 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:30.520 the atom, is deciding to fund taking that primarily military 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.639 academic thing and making it available to everyone. 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:40.320 Yeah, but you know, the ai'll kill us while the 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.640 Internet is still working at killing us. 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.800 So we would AI be the thing that it will 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.080 be without the Internet. I'm not I don't know if 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:50.080 you can separate. 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.239 Them like that. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.160 Well, Bill Mark clearly had the attitude of your you're 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:57.480 the devil for bringing us Internet. 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.440 I think a lot of people feel that way. One 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.159 of the wise things ever said is not all change 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:03.000 is progress? 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:08.720 Boy, the information landscape, the trouble your kids can get into. 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:13.240 Oh my god. Joe mentioned the new poll out about 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.199 the media. It is well earned. 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.000 More on the way Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:23.199 I just mistook a thumbs up for a point. Michael 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.920 gave me the thumbs up about something. I interpreted it 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.879 as a point and started talking when it was merely 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.439 a I've got the clip you wanted, so thumbs up 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.520 in point two. Very different hand gestures. 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:35.400 Right. 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:38.880 I would have taken off to steal second and they'd 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.040 been like, what are you doing? Get thrown out by 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.520 a mile. I thought you gave me the slide the 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:47.360 steel signal. No, what that's the stay there you did 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:53.800 on the bench, Armstrong. The White House Correspondence dinner was 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.280 over the weekend. I didn't even know what happened, and 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.920 it got no attention because Trump doesn't do them, remember, 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.720 and for good reason. I mean, it would just be 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.600 ridiculous because they all hate him so much and there's 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.040 so incredibly unfair. I mean, there'd be no fun in it. 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.800 It would just be vicious hatred show up to be abused. Yeah, 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:13.480 sounds great. 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:14.360 Of course. 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:16.679 The interesting thing about the White House Correspondents dinner is 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.440 that's what started the whole thing. Trump at one while 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.440 Obama was President Obama making fun of Trump because Obama 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.920 was pissed off about the whole birth certificate thing. Trump 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.520 sitting there stewing as everybody laughed at him, and there 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.440 grew the colonel of hatred that became his presidential run. 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:34.880 The rest is history. 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.000 Speaking of the media, so oh, we're gonna play a 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:43.440 little bit of the lead speaker was a guy from 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:48.399 Axios calling out the media for not doing a good job. 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:52.120 And I guess we have it. Let's listen to it now. 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:57.000 President Biden's decline and it's cover up by the people 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:01.440 around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:07.399 of party, is capable of deception. But being truth tellers 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:13.280 also means telling the truth about ourselves. We myself included, 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:17.720 missed a lot of this story, and some people trust. 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:18.399 Us less because of it. 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:24.199 Wow, we bear some responsibility for faith in the media 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:25.760 being at such lows. 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.520 I want to talk to these people. I think he's sincere. 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.399 Yeah, I want to talk to him and say, dude, 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.720 let me tell you how it looks to the rest 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.879 of us. It looks like you'd have to be mentally 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:42.320 retarded to not pick up on the fact that the 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.479 president was completely out of it. And you know what, 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:48.920 My proof is, eighty five percent of America agreed with 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:53.919 me and not you and your other media people. 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:58.200 How do you explain that. I mean, he's quite correct, 0:20:58.200 --> 0:20:59.840 but it feels like you walk into a room in 0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:02.679 the there's a guy clutching an axe, surrounded by dead bodies, 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.399 and he says, you know what, I need to admit 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:09.359 I think I have an anger problem. Well, it's true 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:13.879 as far as it goes, But come on, buddy, I 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:14.359 don't think. 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:18.359 There's any answer he could give other than we're so 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:23.159 married to the idea of pushing our political point of 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:29.680 view that we blind ourselves to obvious things. I've blind 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:31.639 oled myself to some obvious things in my life, so 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.479 I know it can happen. It's highly troubling when you 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:36.800 come to a realization. 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:37.919 Because you wonder a human condition. 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:40.240 Yeah, you wonder how many other things have I done 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:41.959 this with or am doing right now? 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:45.439 It's highly troubling. But if I might punch up your 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:47.520 script for a second, I would say, you need to 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:52.280 admit that you will miss stories that are so enormous 0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:57.840 historic and career making. They would be great for you 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.439 as a journalist to ignore them because they make you 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:03.879 uncomfortable politically. Well, I don't know if they would have. 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:06.160 I think if you'd have stuck your neck out, you'd 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:09.000 have been you'd had your head cut off, you'd lost 0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:09.480 your job. 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.480 Ah, you'd have gotten a gig hosting an evening show 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:16.480 on Fox News and become rich. That is wild. 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:21.000 Though we missed the story. Yeah, one of the biggest 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:26.400 stories in US history. Then again, everybody else saw. It's 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:28.400 not like it was a fifty to fifty issue out 0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:30.320 in the country or nobody knew and you should have 0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:31.840 uncovered it or something. 0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:38.440 Right, right. It was not the water keep breaking? Good lord? Yeah, 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:40.960 I know, how about that Batpur. 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:43.400 I think that fits in a little bit with what 0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:46.600 you're about to hear from Scott Pelly. So we mentioned 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:53.720 last week the guy runs sixty Minutes resigned or stepping down. 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:55.879
