Speaker 3: Welcome to a replay of the Armstrong and Getty Show.

6
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 3: We're off all week long. We give a lot of thanks,

7
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: we eat a lot, we watch a lot of football.

8
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 3: We'll come back refreshed. But I hope you enjoyed this stuff.

9
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: It's gonna be really good.

10
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: Some delicious leftovers if you will.

11
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,360

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 5: Central Valley is, without question, one of the most vital

15
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 5: agricultural regions in America, producing seventeen billion dollars worth of

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 5: crops twenty five percent of the nation's food supply, and

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 5: to help grow and harvest those crops, many farmers here

18
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 5: rely on undocumented workers. The Department of Agriculture estimates that

19
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 5: about half of the hired crop workers do not have

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 5: legal status. That is estimated to be more than three

21
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 5: hundred and thirty thousand workers in the Central Valley alone.

22
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: Three hundred thousand workers in the Central Valley alone, that

23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: if you followed what recent poling says, sixty percent of

24
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: America wants would all be booted out of the country.

25
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: And that would be obviously, if he did that all

26
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: at once, would be quite the wrecking of the whole

27
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,639
Speaker 3: agricultural system. Doesn't mean it's not a good idea, though,

28
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: because you got to have a system of some sort

29
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: for having workers. It's the job of Congress to come

30
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: up with and be implied and follow through. I don't

31
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: know if they're going to or not, but Jo and

32
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: I have been talking about illegal immigration in farm workers

33
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: for geez, twenty five years or whatever being on the air,

34
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: and this very part of the a California in the

35
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: country that they're talking about on ABC this week, and

36
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: we used to talk about it all the time when

37
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: we were only on in the Sacramento area. People had

38
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 3: always talk do you want tomatoes to be five dollars? Well,

39
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: then you know it's gonna pick the lettuce.

40
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

41
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: It was always the conversation, and our answer was always

42
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: somebody or nobody or a machine, Well, let's hear from

43
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: a couple of farmers in the Central Valley and their

44
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: theories on why you need to have illegals picking. Here's

45
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: more from ABC this week.

46
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 6: We can't afford a labor shortage. Back during Obama, we

47
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 6: had a labor shortage and there were a time where

48
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 6: we actually lost some crop.

49
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 5: I think people will look at say, but wait a minute,

50
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 5: they're Americans who are unemployed.

51
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: Why can't you just hire them?

52
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 6: They don't want to come out here and work in

53
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 6: this in this extreme conditions one hundred plus degree temperatures,

54
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 6: dust hard work. What if you paid them more, it

55
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 6: doesn't matter. You know, we pay some of the highest

56
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 6: wages for farm workers in the nation right here in California,

57
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 6: and they won't come out.

58
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: And just so before we have that conversation, here's a

59
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: different farmer, same question, same topic there.

60
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 7: I don't care what you pay them. I don't care

61
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 7: if you pay them twenty six dollars an hour. They

62
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 7: ain't going to happen. They're not going to get up

63
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 7: at four or five in the morning, drive to the

64
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 7: field and pick fruit.

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: So and that question was, why why don't you just

66
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: hire Americans? They won't do it. I don't care what

67
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: you pay them. They're not going to get up that

68
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: time of day and come out and do that job.

69
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: So I don't understand why that isn't a hold on pause,

70
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: let's have a conversation about that sort of revelation on

71
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: ABC this week, they just move on to E. They

72
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: you see, Americans won't do this work, so it makes

73
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: sense to have illegal brown people do it. What what

74
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: how do you craft a society like that? How about

75
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: why would people who are unemployed or underemployed take the

76
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: option of not doing a job even if it paid

77
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 3: really well?

78
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: Right? Right?

79
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: How could they do that? How does that work? How

80
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 3: does that fin How are they paying the rent? How

81
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: are they eating?

82
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 4: Can you imagine if you went to family counseling and

83
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: and you said, my children refuse to do their chores,

84
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 4: and the counselor said, well, let's talk about how you

85
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 4: can hire someone to do your children's right. No, that's

86
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: not the right question, right, Yeah, that's funny.

87
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: But we've been we've been talking about this very topic

88
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: for decades now. How have we just accepted that people

89
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: born in this country shouldn't have to do work that's

90
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: not I don't know, glamorous or kind of hard, or

91
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: it's outside or whatever. The reason is people don't want

92
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: to do it. I did that kind of work when

93
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 3: I was in high school.

94
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: Lots of us did. You can't do it in any

95
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: many Americans did? Yeah, but is everybody okay with that?

96
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: Creating a welfare state so lavish that people can choose

97
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: not to do jobs that they don't find like something

98
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 3: they want to do, even even if it pays twenty nine.

99
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: Dollars an hour and one more amusing irony, This is

100
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 4: amusing me for many, many years. Is the more quote

101
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 4: unquote progressive you are, the more in favor of white.

102
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: People, won't do this work. Let's bring in some of

103
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: those brown people.

104
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 4: I mean, that's the further left yard, the more you're

105
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: a hardcore, open up the borders and let them in person,

106
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 4: which I think is hilarious.

107
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: There's also the unspoken, unstated realization that if millions of

108
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: people come here and do those jobs they're getting by,

109
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: they must be able to live somewhere and have a

110
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 3: car and eat and you know, do all the things

111
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: you want to do with a job right by definition.

112
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just it's it boils down to a couple

113
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: of very very simple principles. Number one is the purpose

114
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: of getting the reins of government is to be able

115
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 4: to distribute money from the treasury. Doesn't matter what the

116
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 4: system is. They vary in how they do that, but

117
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: that's the point. And in our system, you've got to

118
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: get a little support from a.

119
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: Lot of people.

120
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 4: Kim Jong un just needs a hell of a lot

121
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 4: of support from a fairly small group of people. But

122
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: in a democracy, you need a little support from a

123
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: hell of a lot of people. How do you do

124
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: that by handing out money? Government benefits? You know, three

125
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 4: and a half dozen different social programs that make sure

126
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: nobody's going to starve. And so the second, very broad

127
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 4: and easy to understand principle is people go for their

128
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: best alternative. They will do their best option. And for

129
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 4: Americans working in a field in the heat, in the dust,

130
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 4: bent over is not nearly their best option. For some

131
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 4: Guatemalan it is.

132
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: I just I don't understand how we got to where

133
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 3: we're okay with that or think that that's a workable

134
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: plan going forward that doesn't end up with like I've

135
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: been taking in a lot of French Revolution stuff over

136
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: the weekend, you know, that sort of society falling apart.

137
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 4: I believe the French Revolution is your Roman Empire, although

138
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: you are quite interested in the Roman Empire as well.

139
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: It is so the answer of how we get there

140
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 4: is because nobody asks the question, the moral question there,

141
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 4: the one that we keep harping on is it's not

142
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 4: part of.

143
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: The conversation at all. No, it wasn't.

144
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: ABC this week did a long segment on this topic

145
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: and not a word of Does it seem a little

146
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: weird to have a society where you've declared certain jobs

147
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: off limits for your citizens, Like, no, that's too grungy

148
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 3: a job even at twenty dollars an hour you just

149
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: don't want to have to do.

150
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: I mean, would you do that with your own kids.

151
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: I'll keep supporting you, you know, until you're thirty or

152
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: a past rather than you go do that job.

153
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: What? Yeah, who would live their lives like that?

154
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 4: Democracy's end when they realize they can vote themselves money

155
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: from the treasury. Can you imagine running on the platform

156
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 4: I'm going to get you off of your couch and

157
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: into the field.

158
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: Good luck? What at right? We're a soft, decadent country.

159
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: That's just that's it.

160
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: We really are, which is what France was when they

161
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 3: fell apart. Not to get back to the revolution. But

162
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 3: and then here they wrapped up the conversation with this portion.

163
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 5: Deporting undocumented workers in California is complicated. The state enacted

164
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 5: a measure in twenty seventeen that prevents state resources from

165
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 5: being used for federal immigration enforcement. And while that law

166
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 5: varies by city and county, California is the sanctuary city

167
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 5: capital of America, with dozens of cities and counties protecting

168
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 5: undocumented residents from a rest based solely on their immigration status.

169
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: So that's a problem. I mean, it all fits together

170
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: as part of a puzzle. I hate the whole thing.

171
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 3: But if you're going to accept I'm not. But apparently

172
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 3: we have accepted that our American born people shouldn't have

173
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: to do those jobs.

174
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 2: Well, then you're gonna have to have illegals here.

175
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: And then if you're going to have illegals here, you

176
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: can't have them being deported. So you got to be

177
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: a sanctuary county. I mean, it all fits together, or you.

178
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 4: Just admit all of the above and you design a

179
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 4: temporary worker program, which is.

180
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 3: What Congress should do. Also not a part of the

181
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: conversation where they said, well, if you want it to

182
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 3: be this way, and apparently people do well. Then Congress

183
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: needs to sit down and come up with a very

184
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: complex system for or workers or making these people citizens,

185
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: or whatever it is you're gonna do. But you got

186
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: to come up with a plan. The all the arguments

187
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: I seem to see on the Sunday talk shows, nobody

188
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 3: was offering anything other than continuing to just randomly let

189
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 3: people come in buy the millions, come and go, buy

190
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: the millions, not know who they are. Martha Radditt's even

191
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 3: admitted to whoever was pushing back on this story. There

192
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: are six hundred thousand known criminals, not the crime of

193
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 3: being illegal, but like other crimes from Mexico or Venezuela,

194
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 3: six hundred thousand criminals in the United States right now.

195
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: We don't know where they are, what kind of who

196
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 2: does that? Yeah? Yeah, that's nuts. Yeah it is. It's

197
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 2: self destructive.

198
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 4: It's it's horrible because we won't get to the root questions.

199
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 4: And the final annoying reality I'd like to trot out there.

200
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 4: Why I don't get many invitations to dinner parties? Oh

201
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 4: you invited, mister annoying reality? Oh good? Is the left

202
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 4: raises money from soft heads? In my opinion with their

203
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 4: no human being is illegal, bill bridges not walls, nonsense,

204
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 4: And the right raises money on boot them all out,

205
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 4: seal the borders, and to say we're going to craft

206
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 4: a guest worker program that's going to let one point

207
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 4: one million people in temporarily, we'll keep tracking them, blah

208
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 4: blah blah, we're gonna streamline the course.

209
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: That's just you can't raise money on that. It's too complicated.

210
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 4: The devil is in the details, and there's always plenty

211
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 4: to anger, you know, virtually everybody in the discussion.

212
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

213
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 4: I don't mean to be discouraging, but as long as

214
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 4: small money donations rule politics, it's going to be hard

215
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 4: to work out stuff like this.

216
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: I'm just appalled by the idea. I've always cringed when

217
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: anybody says those are jobs American won't do.

218
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: That makes me cringe. You cannot be a strong, functioning.

219
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: Successful society if you've decided certain jobs are off limits

220
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 3: to your citizens.

221
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: That's sickening.

222
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 4: As a notion, well, that's how empires fall back to Rome.

223
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: Or if you'd prefer, I assume, with your French Revolution passion,

224
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 4: you'd like to say see guillotines all over America cutting

225
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 4: off the heads of the disloyal or immigrants.

226
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're crazy world.

227
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 8: The Armstrong and Getty Show, or Jahn your show, podcasts

228
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 8: and our hot Lakes, The Armstrong and Getty Show.

229
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. It's an

230
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: absolute classic.

231
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 4: Frank, Senator Long, you said, it's probably a little long,

232
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 4: but what the heck, we always have time for it.

233
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 4: It's from Lord Woodhousily, also known as Alexander Fraser Tyler

234
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 4: from back in the seventeen hundreds. A democracy cannot exist

235
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 4: as a permanent form of government. Can only exist until

236
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 4: the voters discover they can vote themselves largest from the

237
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 4: public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes

238
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 4: for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury,

239
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 4: with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose

240
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

241
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: Then he goes into a bit of history.

242
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 4: These nations have progressed through the sequence from bondage to

243
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 4: spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage

244
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 4: to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness,

245
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,239
Speaker 4: from selfishness to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence

246
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 4: back into bondage.

247
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: So where are we right now? Somewhere between apathy and dependence. Uh, yes, yeah,

248
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 2: I would say so.

249
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've certainly progressed past selfishness to apathy.

250
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, apathy to dependence. I think you nailed it. Yep.

251
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 3: Baby boomers were the selfish and we moved into the apathy.

252
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: Now we're headed into the dependence. Yep.

253
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 2: There you go. That sounds it's pretty accurate. I think

254
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: that's absolutely right.

255
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: And I was thinking about this last night when I

256
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 3: went to bed for some reason, about how there's a

257
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: shelf life to these things, and there just is, always

258
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: has been, probably always will be. And it's depressing, really

259
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 3: freaking depressing, unless you consider the following. This is your

260
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: cheery you up note. During every one of those stages,

261
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: smart people, energetic people.

262
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: Well I'm not very energetic, so let's just go as smart.

263
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 4: Smart and semi energetic people have found ways to craft happy,

264
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 4: productive lives. It just gets a little tougher. In the

265
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 4: words of the old bluesman, what is you gonna do?

266
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: Right?

267
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: I understand if you're going to focus on you and yours,

268
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: but kind of like the whole thing to last for

269
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: a while.

270
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: I kind of wanted a pony for Christmas, all right,

271
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: Wake up, grow up nail bag. Jeez drops a nope

272
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 4: mail bag at Armstrong and Giddy dot com when convenient.

273
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 4: I I had a screed yesterday. I unleashed a screed

274
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 4: about how the Internet fertilizes stupidity. I never would have

275
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 4: thought of it again as long as I lived, except

276
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 4: several emailers have brought it up.

277
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: That is pretty good. I forgot it a horridy myself.

278
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, Rich says Joe's book about in the Internet fertilizing stupidity.

279
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 4: He says, true, but it's not fertilizing women, hence the

280
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: low birth rates. That could be an angle on my book. Rich,

281
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 4: I'll give you full credit, thanks, Bud.

282
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: The Internet fertilizes stupidity might be your best quote ever.

283
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: And I forgot I said it anyway.

284
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 4: Mark and Stanton writes gents regarding the MSNBC reporter and

285
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 4: the other media chuckleheads describing our Marjorie Taylor Green as

286
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 4: the most conservative Republican in the House whatever, which is

287
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 4: an absurd description. I think a better description was inadvertently

288
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 4: coined earlier in the show by Joe. You might say,

289
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 4: Marjorie Taylor Green is a grand standing moron quote fertilizing

290
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 4: stupidity in her caucus. Judging by the Republican Caucus actions lately,

291
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 4: this is producing a bumper crop of dysfunction and asininity.

292
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 4: The sun is a mighty powerful eat Mark and Stanton well,

293
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: and one of the reasons I love that is a

294
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 4: sign off, by the way Mark.

295
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: One of the reasons I hate the so much is

296
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 3: portraying a variety of things as conservative, is that it

297
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: comes from the liberal media. They want conservative to have

298
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: a stench to it. But there's nothing conservative about Marjorie

299
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: Taylor Green or Matt Gates. That that's not They're not

300
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 3: extra conservative as they're portrayed in the media.

301
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: That's not what they are.

302
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 4: I would have to work for a while to come

303
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 4: up with a term for exactly what they are.

304
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: More like, trumpy is not bad. Well, I don't think.

305
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: I don't think you would turn to political science for

306
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 3: a label for them, though, correct. Oh no, no, no,

307
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: you would turn to Marshall McCloughan. Is that the name

308
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: of the guy who coined the media as the message,

309
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: and just the modern postmodern world whipping up interest and

310
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 3: fervor and clicks and that sort of thing. We're out

311
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 3: of time already. I've got a lot of great stuff here, Michael,

312
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 3: got to believe a lot more of a.

313
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 7: Show to go.

322
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 4: Speaking of the recent electoral results in which the Democratic

323
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 4: Party took a hell of a drubbing, in particular the

324
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 4: more progressive side of it and anybody who was advocating

325
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 4: the wildest of the woke policies took it on the chin.

326
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: Thank god.

327
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 4: It seems like an odd moment for perhaps the most

328
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 4: progressive of America's governors to decide this is my moment,

329
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 4: But Gavin Newsom of California did just that with a

330
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 4: maneuver or two, which we will discuss with our guest,

331
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 4: Katie Grimes, the editor in chief of the California Globe,

332
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 4: who has been covering the California State Capitol for Ages

333
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 4: and Ages.

334
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 2: Katie. Welcome, How are you.

335
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 10: Good morning, Joe, Good morning Jack.

336
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: I'm well.

337
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 10: I'm especially well after the election.

338
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, i'd imagine.

339
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: So.

340
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 4: I love the headline your recent piece, Gavin Newsom is

341
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 4: attempting to play on a stage well above his pay grade.

342
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: Would you agree?

343
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 4: It seems like an odd moment for the woke Gavin

344
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 4: to decide this is my time.

345
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, he needs to learn to read the room, because

346
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 10: he's about as popular as Kamala Harris.

347
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 3: I understand the wanting to be the first in as

348
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 3: the leader of the resistance for the you know, the

349
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 3: nomination of a Democratic candidate for twenty twenty eight. He

350
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 3: wants to me the first name out there. But this

351
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: whole fighting on a couple of areas that seem to

352
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 3: be thoroughly beaten, at least in this most recent election.

353
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: What's he thinking?

354
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 10: You know, you ask a really good question, because I

355
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 10: don't have an answer to that. I don't think the

356
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 10: way he does, thankfully, because he's just a full blown narcissist.

357
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 10: And I think part of the problem is a he

358
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 10: has no interest in governing, and he has no clue

359
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 10: in governing, so his natural inclination is to pivot to

360
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 10: something that's going to get him some media headlines. And

361
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 10: so you know, claiming to fight Trump is going to

362
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 10: certainly provide him some headlines on our lefty media.

363
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 4: So you've made your career covering California and California politics.

364
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 4: For folks listening around the country, what has the trend

365
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 4: been in California? And you can pick whatever item you want,

366
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 4: but I'm struck by the illustration and your piece in

367
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 4: the California Globe of the presidential results by county from

368
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 4: twenty twenty to twenty twenty four for instance.

369
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, isn't that There's nothing like a good visual.

370
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 10: So it looks like in this election, Republicans slipped at

371
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 10: least eight states that we know of right now, and

372
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 10: that's only with seventy two percent of the votes counted county.

373
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 10: Some are saying it might yes, it might be as

374
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 10: many as ten counties flipping to the Red. And so

375
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 10: that's why that visual is so lovely. My point in

376
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 10: this is even Californians are set up with these ridiculous, horrible,

377
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 10: damaging policies that frankly, they're harming people in California, whether

378
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 10: it's the increase in crime or you know, withholding water

379
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 10: to our agriculture, or I mean you just the lousy schools.

380
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 10: Even lefties are tired of this because lefties, well they

381
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 10: might vote very left in California, they live like Republicans.

382
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 10: They're tight with a buck, they want their kids to

383
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 10: go to good schools. They do care about the roads

384
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 10: in which their rims are getting bent on. There's all

385
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 10: kinds of things, and of course the crime just is

386
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 10: in everybody's face.

387
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 3: It's funny you mentioned that my car's in the shop

388
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 3: for a week because I cracked my wheel on a

389
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 3: pothole because of our crappy, crappy roads so.

390
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 2: Ripped from real life.

391
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: So it is interesting to see that there is a

392
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 3: limit to how long people will put up with the

393
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 3: same party despite the results.

394
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, and I think what we're talking about are same people,

395
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 10: maybe people who don't pay a lot of attention to

396
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 10: politics day in and day out the way we do,

397
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 10: but they know what's happening right outside their front door.

398
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 10: And you know, in this case, it's a lot of crime,

399
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 10: it's really lousy maintenance in their cities and counties, you

400
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 10: know everything. Just in California. We're starting to look like

401
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 10: a third world country in many places. And this is

402
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 10: supposed to be, you know, the Golden State.

403
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 4: And Gavin's contention is that, and he's utterly a con man.

404
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 4: His contention is that we have all these challenges and

405
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 4: we're dealing with them courageously and creatively, as if these

406
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 4: challenges came out of nowhere. Is if they fell like

407
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 4: rain and all of a sudden you got to you know,

408
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 4: a million bums and junkies on the streets, as if

409
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 4: they're not a result of the very policies that he's

410
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 4: a spoused. But I mean, he took a hell of

411
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 4: us spanking recently, and the voter's overwhelmingly approving Proposition thirty six,

412
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 4: which overturned the disastrous Proposition forty seven. You'd think he'd

413
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 4: wake up and smell the discontent.

414
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has no.

415
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 10: Ability to do that, and I think that that shows

416
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 10: his unbridled narcissism. All he can see is got tunnel vision,

417
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 10: and he's focused on national politics next. That's where his

418
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 10: career was supposed to take him. So, by golly, you know,

419
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 10: he's going to show Josh Shapiro out of the way

420
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 10: as fast.

421
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: As he can, right.

422
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, he wants to jump ahead at Josh Shapiro and

423
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 3: a number of other people out there.

424
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris.

425
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: Well, does Kamala Harris have any future?

426
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: Or is she just done?

427
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 10: That's hilarious. I just published an article this morning and

428
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 10: I titled it, are you kidding? Berkeley poll reports California

429
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 10: voters want Kamala for governor. No, this is an absolute

430
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 10: last guest attempt by Berkeley and the Los Angeles Times

431
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 10: to try to see if her fledgling political career could

432
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 10: be saved.

433
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 4: I just that's that's that's that's be like, Yeah, hello,

434
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 4: I gotta take me real quick.

435
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 2: Are you skilled in the arts of karate or what

436
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: that shut out of me?

437
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 8: Yeah?

438
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 2: I can't even imagine that.

439
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 4: So, once again, for people who are listening around the

440
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 4: country who may not be familiar, can you give us

441
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 4: the nickel version of Gavin Newsom's energy policies and and

442
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 4: and just and as Katie talked, perhaps folks, you can

443
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 4: imagine this being implemented nationwide.

444
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

445
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 10: Actually, what Gavin Newsom is doing is imposing unbelievable regulations

446
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 10: on our oil and gas industry. We're not fracking for

447
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 10: natural gas in California, even though we sit on top

448
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 10: of the world's largest gas reserves. So he's trying to

449
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 10: restrict all this. He's forcing oil and gas companies to

450
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 10: withhold hold back some of their oil and gas, and

451
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 10: it's going to lead to even higher gas prices. His

452
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 10: California Air Sources Board, that's the regulatory agency for our

453
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 10: global warming policies, just passed amount to at least the

454
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 10: sixty five cent additional tax on top of our highest

455
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 10: gas prices in the entire country. So what he's doing

456
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 10: is creating shortages of everything, including water deliveries. I mean,

457
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 10: it's hard to make this stuff up. It's almost like

458
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 10: the un is running Gavin Newsom and California because nobody

459
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 10: in this state wants to live like this, and yet

460
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 10: these morons are still.

461
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: Voting for this. So is there any chance that he's

462
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 3: not actually angling to be the nominee in twenty twenty eight,

463
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 3: that he's trying to get some other really lucrative gig,

464
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 3: like an al Gore type lifestyle or something. I mean,

465
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 3: is it just a money grab that I don't quite

466
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 3: understand yet.

467
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 10: It's it's about power and money. I wrote right before

468
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 10: the election and article about how the only thing he

469
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 10: really has left to focus on is his climate change chops,

470
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 10: and so he's trying to pivot to become the next

471
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 10: al Gore on the net.

472
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 3: There's a lot of money in that. There's a lot

473
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 3: of freaking money at that. And you don't have the

474
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 3: scrutiny of politics exactly, and.

475
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 10: You don't have to you don't have to produce anything.

476
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 10: There's no results necessary. You will go around and blather

477
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 10: on about climate change this and that and carbon emissions,

478
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 10: and for some reason the media buy it, hook line

479
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 10: and sinker.

480
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 3: Oh boy.

481
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 4: Katie Grimes is the editor in chief of the California Globe.

482
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 4: Katie I picture Gavin announcing officially for president the presidency.

483
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 4: Within a couple of years, we will organize a march

484
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 4: of all forty million Californians from California to DC, Kansas.

485
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 4: You're gonna need to stuck up on avocado.

486
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: Toast, but we will march to DC.

487
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 3: And declare America. Please don't do this to yourselves, Please don't.

488
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 4: We've linked Katie's a couple of recent pieces up top

489
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 4: at the hot links at Armstrong in giddy dot com

490
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 4: if you want to take a read Katie, great to

491
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 4: talk to you is always keep fighting the good fight.

492
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 10: Thanks, great to be with you guys.

493
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 2: Always fun. Thanks. Yeah, just you know, I don't want

494
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 2: to embarrass Katie or.

495
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 4: Anything, but she is a fairly mainstream to left leaning

496
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 4: journalist who just prized old school journalism telling the truth.

497
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 4: And she has gone from you know, absolutely you know,

498
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 4: tolerant and sympathetic toward kind of the center left to

499
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 4: being aghast at what she's.

500
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: Seeing in her home state, as so many are. Yeah.

501
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 3: I think this is my current working theory that he's

502
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 3: not actually angling to be the twenty eight nominee, that

503
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 3: he's trying to raise his que fan, his name and

504
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 3: everything like that just in progressive circles and become something

505
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 3: that makes him a lot of money for a long

506
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 3: time al Gore style.

507
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's calculating enough that I still say he is absolutely,

508
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 4: fully turgid aroused for the idea of the White House.

509
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 2: I always say that, I think you are enjoying the imagery,

510
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 2: is what's going on.

511
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 4: Shakespeare had sexy stuff in his place too, and he's

512
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 4: worshiped so anyway, But you do make an interesting point.

513
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 4: He's calculating enough that that's his main goal, but he's

514
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 4: positioning himself in such a way that other goals are pursued.

515
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: At the same time. Yeah, he's really, in a word, evil,

516
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: an evil human being.

517
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 3: So doge coin, different than bitcoin but also a cryptocurrency,

518
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 3: has now as of today, jumped twenty percent since Trump

519
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 3: announced Elon and the Doge Group or whatever they're going

520
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 3: to call it, the Department of Government Efficiency. So because

521
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 3: it's named the same as their cryptocurrency, they're people invested

522
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 3: in the cryptocurrency.

523
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: Well, the general friendliness toward cryptocurrency, plus the branding wise

524
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 4: that helps. God, I got to figure out the timing

525
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 4: on this. Like yesterday, I thought it too late.

526
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 3: If I'd had invested in bitcoin yesterday, I'd be significantly

527
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 3: wealthier today.

528
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 9: Damn it.

529
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 4: Why do you keep your bitcoins under your bed or

530
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 4: something like that. I tell you what, whatever you have

531
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 4: that's worth protecting. Our friends and sponsors that simply say,

532
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 4: if home security, you're there to help you do it.

533
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 4: The home security system we trust in so many thousands

534
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 4: of others too. They'll offer you a big discount. Now

535
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 4: with a new system, we'll tell you about that in

536
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 4: a minute.

537
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I'm looking up at Biden and Trump together

538
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 3: in the Oval Office. We'll have some highlights from that

539
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: coming up for you in a little bit. Oh my god,

540
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 3: I can't imagine what they're saying. Simply say the active

541
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 3: guard outdoor protection is what I love. Changes the game,

542
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 3: preventing crime before it happens. With the agents being able

543
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: to see in real time, anybody look and breaking into

544
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: your house, you can actually talk to them directly.

545
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, someone's lurking around or acting suspiciously, like if Biden

546
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 4: tries to get back in the Oval Office office, for instance,

547
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 4: wanders off, the agents can set off your spotlights, tell

548
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 4: them to get the hell out, called the cops before

549
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 4: the breaking before it happens. No long term contracts, no

550
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 4: cancelation fees. Is around a dollar a day for all

551
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 4: this protection. Again you get a nice discount. Use the

552
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 4: code armstrong when you go to simplysafe dot com slash armstrong.

553
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 4: Once again, that's simplysafe dot com slash armstrong. It's about

554
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 4: a bucket day. Did we mention that no long term contracts,

555
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 4: no cancelation fees. They don't work like that. Simply safe

556
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 4: dot com slash Armstrong. There's no safe like simply safe.

557
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: So to paint the picture for you, it's Trump and Biden,

558
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 3: all smiles in blue suits and red ties, sitting there

559
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 3: in front of a roaring fireplace there in the Oval Office.

560
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 3: And Biden's good at that whole backslapping, we're pals thing

561
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: he's been doing for since before most of us were born.

562
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 3: And this is the only thing he's good. Yeah, it's

563
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: really his only uh. And and Trump, of course is

564
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: joining the fact that he has uh defeated that side

565
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 3: thoroughly first time they've been together since the debate that

566
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: ended Biden's career. Oh my god, Trump probably never been

567
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 3: this happy as life. Then, sitting next to this guy

568
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 3: that he's so thoroughly trounced having, he slaps Biden on

569
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 3: the back and says, remind Hunter to pay his taxes.

570
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 2: Huh.

571
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:31,000

00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: Katie, You're gonna have to explain to us what all

575
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: this is we're hearing here. So apparently there's this internet

576

Speaker 2: trend going on right an internet trend. You say it's

577
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: an internet trend.

578
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 11: And apparently if you exhale all the way, get all

579
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 11: the air completely out of your lungs, and then you

580
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 11: try to scream, you make some form.

581
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 3: Of annoy is like that. Okay, gotcha, the exhaling scream challenge.

582
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 3: I'll do that with my kids today for fun.

583
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: Take a video, let us know it goes.

584
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 3: I'll do it with one of my kids. My high

585
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 3: school kid is no longer interested in anything whimsical.

586
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: He is just gloom. Teenager? What the official uniform of teenager? Though?

587
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 11: The whole reason I discuss I wanted to see if

588
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 11: Michaelangelo could do it.

589
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 3: Michael, do that for us on Mike. Exhale completely, then

590
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 3: try to scream. Okay, here we go, Here we go.

591
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: Oh you took you in healed? You didn't. You didn't

592
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: exhale enough either, it completely exhaled. Okay, no, you healed again?

593
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 5: He can't in here.

594
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: He blew out. Then you took a breath. Okay, let

595
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 2: me blow. I'm gonna just do nothing but blow completely.

596
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: Don't take a breath in.

597
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 3: You took it.

598
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 2: You're held under never mind never I don't understand. I'm

Speaker 2: growing out that's the way excel.

600
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 3: What you want.

601
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: Do not take a breath. You are taking the fact

602
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: that you're not following these instructions is I'm just gonna

603
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: blow out, right, Okay, Katie, we gotta go.

Speaker 4: No, We're not gonna go through this again, Michael, Michael,

605
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 4: you blow out, you go and then you go and

606
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 4: then you scream.

607
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to. That's leave out the last try. Okay,

608
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: so just blow and scream, but but don't write.

609
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 12: Okay, all right, okay, all right, everywhere, so earlier, earlier,

610
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 12: all right, Katie for the podcast, you need to do

611
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 12: it because I want to hear you try to do it.

612
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 2: Okay, podcast, Okay.

613
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 4: You know, the only thing I took away from that

614
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 4: is how incredibly infectious laughter is listening to those numbskulls

615
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 4: try to do the numbskullish challenge of the day.

616
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: Right, But they're all laughing, so you just can't help.

617
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 2: But you know, giggle.

618
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 3: Here is a professor at the University of Kansas, where

619
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 3: I spent a year in grad school. Poorly, I don't

620
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: know what class he's teaching here, but somebody got out

621
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 3: their cell phone. He's doing this in the little lecture

622
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 3: room in front of a bunch of students.

623
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: I can't believe it, but here you go. That's what

624
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: frustrates me.

625
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 13: There are going to be some males in our society

626
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 13: that will refuse to vote for a potential female president

627
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 13: because they don't think females are smart enough to be president.

628
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 13: We can line all those guys up and shoot them,

629
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 13: and they clearly don't understand the way the world works.

630
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: Did I say that? It scratch that from the recording.

631
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 13: I don't want the deans hearing that I said that.

632
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 3: We missed the very first part of that where he's

633
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 3: in a conversation when somebody put starts their cell phone,

634
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 3: where he's saying, people who think that men are smarter

635
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 3: than women, So why is he having that conversation anyway?

636
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 3: Who thinks either way that either gender is as a

637
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 3: whole smarter than the other.

638
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 2: That's just a dumb premise to start with.

639
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 3: And then he goes into there are people that won't

640
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 3: vote for Kamala Errs because they don't believe women are

641
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 3: smart enough.

642
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: People who thinks that how many people do you know?

643
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: Thinks that what are you talking about? Katie?

644
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 4: Feel free to weigh in, but as a guy who

645
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 4: loves and cherishes women in every part of life. The

646
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 4: male who has to promier trait himself talking about women

647
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 4: are so much smarter.

648
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 2: Bet are so dumb. Women are smarter.

649
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 3: You are pathetic. You should turn in your genitals, sir,

650
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 3: And I use that term loosely.

651
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: That's pathetic.

652
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 11: Two points One. I hate nothing more than a male feminist.

653
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 11: That's awful. Second, this guy's name is Philip Locock.

654
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 2: Oh, no, it's not. It is no, yes it is.

655
00:34:58,920 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 2: How did that escape?

656
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 11: And he's a lecturer in the Department of Health, Sport

657
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 11: and Exercise Science.

658
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 4: You know, good year Alish just could probably help you

659
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 4: with your problem there, mistress.

660
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 3: Support garden. I mean, how low is it support garment

661
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 3: that gets that thing up where you need it to be.

662
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 3: You gotta change your name. You know you don't want

663
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 3: to down around your knees. You want to up here

664
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 3: waste level. I mean, maybe many generations of Locock settled

665
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 3: the West and made Kansas the fabulous states that it

666
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 3: is today.

667
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 2: You gotta change your name. I'm sorry.

668
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 14: Maybe I'm all due respect to great grandfather Locock in

669
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 14: the work he did in Prohibition, and Grandpa Locock and

670
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 14: it's how he, you know, opened the first bank of

671
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 14: Solona or whatever.

672
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 2: You gotta change your name.

673
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, maybe I should have more sympathy, but

674
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 3: he grew up with that name, probably many endless jokes

675
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 3: like we're doing now, and it drove him to being

676
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 3: a male feminist where he has to overreact the other

677
00:35:59,000 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 3: direction or something.

678
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 2: Low T.
