1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong is Joe Ketty Armstrong and Katty and now 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 2: he Armstrong and Yetty. 5 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: So a friend of the Armstrong I was just talking 6 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: about Serena Williams did an ad during a Super Bowl. 7 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: It was for a GLP one thing, and I thought 8 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: Serena Williams gained that much weight. I mean, she's a 9 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: professional athlete and she just retired like a year or 10 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: so ago, and I was just kind of surprised all 11 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: the way around about it. But I didn't pay that 12 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: much attention. We got a text Kirvy girl though, Kirvy girl, 13 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: this will be interesting for the moms out there. Serena Williams, 14 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: she's on a GOLP one medication to manage stubborn postpartum 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: weight gain that did not respond to intense daily exercise. 16 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: She adopted the medication to improve her We're all helped 17 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: specifically to reduce joint pain, lower cholesterol, stabilized blood sugar, 18 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: et cetera. So she's a brand ambassador for women who 19 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: exercise like crazy and eat clean but can't lose weight 20 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: after after having a baby. So that's a good subsection 21 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: of America right there, and great thing to add advertise to, 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: especially during the Super Bowl. Yeah, it's got to be 23 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: so frustrating to be in that category. You gain weight, 24 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: you have a baby, and just you're exercising like crazy 25 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: and nothing's happening. Uh. 26 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, And it happens in the middle and older age too. 27 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: I'm familiar with people who work out like fiends and 28 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: can't lose weight. Yeah. Interesting. I hope that GLP one 29 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: works for and she can still take in enough nutrition. 30 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: But we'll say, or. 31 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna end up with the scurvy, or we're gonna 32 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: see a Serena Williams with scurvy is what we're gonna see. 33 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: Oh, that'd be terrible. That in on that Yeah, great. 34 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: So speaking of health, he says, barely bridging the two topics, 35 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: there's a big giant announcement going on right now from 36 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 2: the Trump administration that's getting a tremendous amount of attention 37 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: on the left and less so on the right. But 38 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: the Trump administration plans to repeal the twenty nine endangerment 39 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: finding that it was the legal basis for federal greenhouse 40 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: gas regulation, that being the idea that climate change is 41 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: a threat to public health and therefore not just like 42 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: you know you're spraying DDT in the air or you know, 43 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: pumping out you know, the danger's chemicals out of the 44 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: tailpipe of a car. No, the global warming. I'm sorry, 45 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: not the global warming. Because remember two winters ago, when 46 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: it was so warm in New York, the New York 47 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: Times published a story about how it's climate change. This year, 48 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: it's super cold in New York, and they're publishing stories 49 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: about how it's climate change. So climate change can be anything, 50 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: but the climate change itself is a threat to your health. 51 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: So anything that might help push climate change is regulatable 52 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: by the EPA, and the Trump administration is planning to 53 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: repeal the Obama era scientific finding it serves as the 54 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: legal basis for federal greenhouse gas regulation. According to the 55 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: US officials, in the most far reaching rollback of US 56 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: climate policy to date. 57 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: Interesting which it'll swing the other direction of a Democrat 58 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: if Gavin Newsom ends a president. 59 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: Uh Yeah. EPA administrator Lee z Elden, who's doing a 60 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 2: good job, said this amounts to the largest act of 61 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: deregulation in the history of the United States. Wow. It 62 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: could really help free up the economy significantly. Wow, that's exciting. Hey. 63 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: By the way, we know why the streaker ran on 64 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: the field at the super Bowl had a plan, so 65 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: we'll get to that coming up. 66 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: He likes to show off his physique. Whoo booge ad boogetad. No, 67 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: not the race Stevens explanation. Wow, that's an old time 68 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: you reference there. Oh, that's a silly old time You 69 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: almost have to be sixty to get that, or a 70 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: fan of classic novelty hits jack perhaps all right, all right, 71 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: I didn't see Bill Haley in the comics, but I 72 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: know how groovy they were. That's another really old timey reference. 73 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: So that's that's a huge, huge story, and I think 74 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 2: a good one. I thought this was interesting also from 75 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: the Financial Pages analysis by the Greg Hipp of the 76 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal, the big money in today's economy is 77 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: going to capital, not labor. The share of So you 78 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: got company X, they make a million dollars in gross revenue. 79 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: In the past, they would have a certain percentage of 80 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: it go to labor, obviously, because you needed people to 81 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 2: run your business. That percentage is significantly lower than it 82 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: used to be and it's more toward computers and software 83 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: and you know, the power plant to run your AI 84 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 2: or whatever. And there's no sign that that will change 85 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: in any significan way. 86 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: Well, the most optimistic of the AI crowd would say 87 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: it's going to be almost entirely go to goes to 88 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: capital as opposed to labor soon, right for almost every company. 89 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, wow. Image that the shift to capital from 90 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 2: labor has been underway for about forty years. Labor received 91 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: fifty eight percent of the total proceeds of economic output 92 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty, fifty eight percent. By the third quarter 93 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,119 Speaker 2: last year it was fifty one percent. Profit to share, 94 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 2: by the way, rose from seven to eleven point seven percent, 95 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: almost twelve percent. That's a lot of profit. But they 96 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: just don't need workers, and so the money's not going 97 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: out as pay, which is why some of the AI 98 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 2: guys are making noises about like a super super progressive 99 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 2: tax code, because the wealth is going to be concentrated 100 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: in so few hands. It's a societal problem no matter 101 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 2: how you look at it, no doubt. I was at 102 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 2: the McDonald's the other day, my my local McDonald's that 103 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: doesn't have any employees that you talk to it's now 104 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 2: all touch screen stuff. 105 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: Now. I don't know if that's has that happened all 106 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: across the country, or is it just in California where 107 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: they raised the minimum wage for fast food to twenty 108 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: dollars and the fast food companies decided, well, okay, at 109 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: that price I can afford to put in this. I'm 110 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: not going to pay so many twenty dollars an hour 111 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: to take your order. 112 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: So I think AVENUSOM would say California is leading the way, 113 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 2: leading the way to where teenagers and old people and 114 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 2: immigrants can't get a job because we've artificially increased the 115 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 2: minimum awage. So yeah, I think California is the leader 116 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 2: in it. 117 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because I'm an old man, but it sure 118 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: seemed like it took me longer to order on the 119 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: touch screen for the three of us than when we 120 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: would walk up to somebody and say two quarter pounders, chease, 121 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: no onions, medium fry, and then my son would say 122 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: whatever he wants, when we had to go through the 123 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: screen and gazillion options and take the onions off and 124 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: figure out where you do that kind of slow. But 125 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: the thing that I had never thought of before, the 126 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: touch screen didn't. I just touch fingers with every single 127 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: person who. 128 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: Ate there that day. 129 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: Gross, every single person who ate at McDonald's that day. 130 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 2: Imn there at seven o'clock at night. 131 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: I just touched hands with them, and I got the 132 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: latest COVID and tuberculosis and a couple of STDs, all 133 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: of the. 134 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 2: Fetal matter, certain particularly oh in particular. So that's kind 135 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: of gross. 136 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: Should I be bringing rubber gloves with me or one 137 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: of those special pencils you can buy with the rubber 138 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: end that work on touch screens. I don't want to 139 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: touch everybody that's been to McDonald's that day. 140 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: I have to touch a. 141 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: Single person when I used to go in an order 142 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: not gonna touch. Oh, you certainly shouldn't I in theory, Well, 143 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: I didn't have to touch anybody when I went, but 144 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: I would touch people, of course, because I just like 145 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: walking up and touching people. 146 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 2: But that that that that's pretty great. What are you 147 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: going to order? 148 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: I was looking at that screen from an angle where 149 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: you get the light. 150 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 2: It's just all kinds of stuff smeared. This is ain't good, 151 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 2: which is just interesting? It is interesting. Gavin a couple 152 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: more stories very quickly. This headline also from the Journal 153 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 2: job hunters are so desperate they're paying to get recruited. 154 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: It's flipped on its head. The companies aren't paying recruiters 155 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: to find them a good candidate. There's so many white 156 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: collar workers out there looking for jobs. They're paying recruiters 157 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 2: to say, hey, put my resume on top, would you 158 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: not surprising? And then this I thought this was a 159 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: really good point of view from Phil Graham. Remember Phil Graham, 160 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 2: the Graham Rudman Act, the attempt. Phil Graham was a 161 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: voice of bipartisan sanity to balance the budget, have fair 162 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: tax codes, and run the government with well fiscal sanity. 163 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: That's why you don't know his name right. He was 164 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 2: beaten to death by a mom and buried in a 165 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 2: shallow grave in Washington, DC. No, he's actually still alive. 166 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 2: He's the former chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. Uh 167 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: and and he co wrote a piece with Michael Solon. 168 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 2: I think it is senior fellow at the Hudston Institution. 169 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: Their points and I don't know, maybe we'll go into 170 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 2: this at length at some point, because I have a 171 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: feeling you good folks would dig it. But the headline 172 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: is government won't help the AI job transition. These safety 173 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: nets have failed in the past and have the potential 174 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 2: to idle millions of workers, and they go into the 175 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 2: history of from the New Deal on these things are 176 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 2: rapidly changing. We need a government job training program or 177 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: the nineteen sixty two Trade Adjustment Assistance program or the 178 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy eight what's its program? And how they never 179 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 2: do any good. They're always enormously expensive, and they actually 180 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 2: interfere with people adapting to the new realities and get jobs. Remember, 181 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: pretty interesting, Like a cycle ago, they were going to 182 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 2: have some sort of program to teach coal miners how 183 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: to code computers in transition, and of course then AI 184 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 2: came along, and nobody needs to know how to code now. 185 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, A feel good expansion of our existing programs 186 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 2: to address AI transitions could idle tens of millions of workers, 187 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 2: squander much of the economic benefit we hope to drive 188 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 2: from AI and foster a dangerous bread and circus's political 189 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: system in which those who've chosen to remain outside the 190 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: labor force demanded an increasing share of the benefits created 191 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: by those who've chosen to work. Well, that's practically inevitable. 192 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 2: The brave New World Jack, brace yourself, and you're gonna 193 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 2: tell us why the Washington Post deserved to go out 194 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 2: of business because they suck. There's actually more to it 195 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: than that. 196 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: But yes, we also have the Streaker's plan. He wasn't 197 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: just this would be cool. 198 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 2: He had a plan. I wanted to show my nipples. Now, 199 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: there's more to it than that. 200 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: He had a clever plan, which is so you know 201 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, stay tuned for all that. Castrone O'Hara 202 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: died the other day. It's seventy one, which is not 203 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: very old. You know who she was, even if you 204 00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: don't know the name. 205 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 2: Hilarious.

Here's a little 211 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: bit of her in s Creek. 212 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: Next step is to fold in the cheese. 213 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: What does that mean? What is fold in the cheese mean? 214 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 2: He folds it in. I understand that, but how how 215 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 2: do you fold it? 216 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 3: Do you fold it in half like a piece of 217 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 3: paper and drop it in the pot. Or what do 218 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 3: you do, David, I cannot show you everything. 219 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: Okay, well can you show me one thing? 220 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 3: You just that's what you do? 221 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 2: You just fold it in.

That's one of the best ensemble 234 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: casts of dry humor in the history of anything. I 235 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 2: heard Second City TV called the best sketch comedy show 236 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: in the history of television, which might be a stretch, 237 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 2: but it's worthy of mention. Absolutely. The stars that came 238 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 2: out of there, Eugene Levy who was also in s Creek, 239 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 2: and John Candy and Martin Short and so many of them, 240 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 2: Annie who she passed. 241 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: An odd thing about that is the people putting flowers 242 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: cards teddy Bears. Why always teddy bears in front of 243 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 1: the home alone house there in Chicago, the suburb of 244 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: Chicago where the house for home alones and all that 245 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: all they did was an established shot of the front 246 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: of the house. 247 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a quick exterior shot, right, yeah, exactly, 248 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 2: And that's all it is. 249 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: And she was in that movie and died, and now 250 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: you're putting teddy bears and cards there. I just don't 251 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: understand the emotions of that's I'm gonna turn to scams. 252 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: That's it. I've got to take money from foolish people 253 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: and spend it on luxuries. I mean, that is the 254 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 2: only if I were a lion and I saw a 255 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 2: bunch of fat three legged in palace leaping around, what 256 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 2: would I think?

What am I hearing? 270 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: This is my aut you know what it is. It's 271 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: an ad I can't turn off on my phone. 272 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: Let me turn on the VOYT. What's outrageous? It's a 273 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: semi streaker. Yeah he was. He had pants on and 274 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 2: no shirt and he's in really good shape, so he 275 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 2: didn't mind showing off. The fat show off. Not a streaker, right, 276 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: and then he writes something on his chest which he's 277 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: trying to get going. But here's an interesting twist to this. Now. 278 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: Of course the video is available because everybody in the 279 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: damn stadium has a phone with him and recorded him 280 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: running around. And to me, the best part is as 281 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: soon as he saw a wide receiver from the Patriots 282 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: was about to tackle him, he. 283 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 2: Hit the ground fast because that would hurt. 284 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: And he is out running these old fat security guards 285 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: having to wear all their you know, micro they got 286 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: their walkie talkies and everything they got. 287 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 2: I mean, they can't run fast. But the wide receiver 288 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: for the Patriots can and he caught up to him 289 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 2: really fast anyway, guys. 290 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: So the guy slides to the ground and says, Okay, 291 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: you got me. Haha, guys, you caught me. He was 292 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: wearing some of those metaglasses where you can record stuff, 293 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: and he recorded the whole thing and at his Instagram page, 294 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: Oh boy, you can go see the video of him 295 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: jumping off in the stands. They had a pretty clever plan. 296 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: They had a decoy. He had a buddy who jumped 297 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: onto the field over there. Immediately security swarms that guy. 298 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: They were all distracted. Then he jumps and gets to 299 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: run clear across the field. It shouldn't be that easy, 300 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: but it was and plan. And then he recorded the 301 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: whole thing and he posted it as Instagram page, in 302 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: which I'm sure he's going to get a gazillion views 303 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: and make some money off of it, and he's trying 304 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: to become some sort of influencer. I'm sure, as everybody 305 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: in America is. 306 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: I was watching the Olympics last night and enjoying it thoroughly, 307 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: and I was watching the speed skating. He came on 308 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: the Gallas thousand meter. I think it was. It was 309 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: on and and he was in the stands rooting on 310 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: his extremely athletic and attractive Dutch well Netherland skater girlfriend. Yeah, 311 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: so he was up there crying tears of joy when 312 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: she did well and the rest of it. Jake Paul, 313 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: who like punches old men in the head on the 314 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 2: Internet for views, was there with tears in his eyes 315 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: because the scared girlfriend from the Netherlands was doing great. 316 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: Interesting back to the half a streaker and not the 317 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: half that really counts as striking. I mean it's the 318 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: bottom half being nude that really gets the attention for streaking. 319 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: That's the business. After this guy named Gonzales on his 320 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 2: Instagram posts, he explained why he jumped onto the field 321 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 2: at the Super. 322 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: Bowl, claiming he got tired of quote unprofitable traders being unprofitable, 323 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: so I had to let them know that profitability is 324 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: in the blind spot whatever that means.

It was only that 417 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: summer that most of America began to behave this way, 418 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: calling out compelling language, ceding more and more public space 419 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: to mob rule. If you live elsewhere in America, you'll 420 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: recognize the spirit of twenty twenty in the confrontation. Let's 421 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: hear it, Delaney, loud and proud, baby, you want to 422 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: say it, let's affing say it.

Washington Post had something like thirty 492 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: seven climate reporters or something. I mean, just an obscene 493 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: number of people on climate. 494 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 2: And now they're gonna only have like five just to 495 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 2: report their climate coverage. I mean, that's how nutty it was. 496 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: They had so many reporters dedicated to DEI issues and 497 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: just stuff like that. That means it's like when people 498 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: claim that that the NPR is not by a story 499 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: is news for everybody or whatever? Every day when I 500 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: get into my car, it's, uh, today we're focusing on 501 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: trans illegals. So or you know, what's something that is 502 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 1: so not mainstream? Right, But they don't. You're so in 503 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: your own little world. You don't know that the average 504 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: person in Oklahoma it's talking about this issue, let alone 505 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: even California or New York. 506 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 2: People are so out of touch, right. Gerard Baker for 507 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 2: The Journal wrote a great piece, the Biggest Threat to 508 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 2: Journalism Journalists, and he gets into a number of different 509 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 2: topics and he mentions President Trump's attacks on the media 510 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: are out of line and too much, but it never 511 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: seems to occur to his targets. That's the primary reason 512 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 2: he gets away with them the attacks is that faith 513 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 2: in the honesty of these institutions has already been devastated 514 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 2: by their own indentious work. The list of recent media distortions, 515 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: from the russiaclusion hoax to COVID and Black Lives Matter 516 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 2: is long. But the most important form of bias, more 517 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 2: insidious because it's necessarily hard to measure, isn't what the 518 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 2: news reports, it's what it chooses not to report on 519 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 2: point You've made many times through the years. Investigative reporting 520 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 2: is vital for accountability, But for most journalists, the people 521 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 2: in institutions that need to be held accountable are only 522 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: those that fit into their selective demonology corporations and their leaders. 523 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: They're rich, right wing politicians, labor unions, bureaucracies, and academic institutions. No, 524 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 2: not really take example. To take a topical example of 525 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 2: such elective support reporting, consider how immigration has been covered 526 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 2: of late. Like most people, I've been appalled by some 527 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 2: of the scenes I've witnessed on America's streets in the 528 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: past year. News organizations have been right to expose the 529 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 2: excesses of immigration and customs of enforcement. Slow down, shoe 530 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 2: and kudos to them if they have helped force a 531 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 2: change of tactics by the administration and the sign sidelining 532 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 2: of the inept Christynoman her military cause playing sidekicks. Okay, 533 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 2: so he's good and critical of some of the excesses. 534 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 2: But how many news organizations over the past ten years 535 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 2: have reported on how that mass immigration affected America's communities 536 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 2: noun how many covered the pressure they were placing on 537 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 2: schools and medical services. This is like reading our show 538 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 2: being written back to me, written saying this. For so 539 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 2: many years they wrote extensively about the valuable contribution these 540 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 2: migrants made to the US economy, But how many even 541 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 2: consider the cost. Thousands of illegal immigrants are in prison 542 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,959 Speaker 2: or jail for crimes unrelated to their immigration status. How 543 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 2: many newspapers did length these stories on the crimes or 544 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 2: they're victims. 545 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: I was talking about this just last week with watching 546 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: CBSABC news coverage of the whole Minnesota thing. They never 547 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: once tipped their cap toward you know this, many hardcore 548 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: criminals have been taken off the streets, no mention of that. 549 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: You can do all the ice overreach you want, but 550 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,959 Speaker 1: you ought to at least throw in. And they're getting 551 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: some hardcore criminals off the streets right. And I've been 552 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: willing to sell myself as the ombudsman for any network 553 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: or publication that will have me, but I couldn't take 554 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: the cut and pay. But I mean, for instance, here's 555 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: an easy one. While seventy eight percent of Americans believe 556 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: we need to crack down on illegal immigration, many Americans 557 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: view the current tactics as excessive. 558 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: See how easy that was, See how effortless. That was 559 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 2: to present the full story as opposed to just your 560 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 2: activist point of view. But again, and I can't remember 561 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 2: when I was talking about this in the show yesterday, 562 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: the very nature of what journalism is has changed completely 563 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 2: in the last thirty years, thirty forty fifty years, certainly, 564 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 2: But it used to be a working class profession where 565 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 2: nobody even heard your opinion on anything until you had 566 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 2: spent years and years and years grounded in reality. You 567 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 2: were the most reality grounded people in America because you 568 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 2: were read, reported on the beat. You'd reported on the 569 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 2: city council meeting, you'd reported on your state legislature, you'd 570 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 2: reported on corruption scandals. You were so steeped in reality 571 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 2: you were a cynic. Now it's twenty four year old 572 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 2: Columbia School of Journalism graduates who are the least in 573 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 2: touch human beings in America. The children of privilege are 574 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 2: filled with their professor's Marxist ideas. That's the change from 575 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 2: the journalists we knew to the quote unquote journalists of today. 576 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 2: Of course, things are different. 577 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, And when people talk about I'm fine with saying 578 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: the country's doomed without a you know, a good New 579 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: York Times, A good Washington Post, a good whatever. That's 580 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: all true, But the current sucked. We're better off without 581 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: the current. Yeah, if you want to bring back something 582 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: from twenty thirty forty years ago, we can have that discussion. 583 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: But the keeping the Washington Post as it was going, 584 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: that wasn't helping anybody. No, and it was never gonna happen. No, no, yeah. 585 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 2: The thirty some climate change reporters. How nuts is that? Wow? 586 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 2: I know, wow. We got more on the waist Air 587 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Yetti. 588 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 6: A dramatic scene in Georgia. Small plane makes an emergency 589 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 6: landing in the middle of a street that was full 590 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 6: of traffic. It came to a complete hauled after striking 591 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 6: at least two cars, the pilot keeping his cool as 592 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 6: he was forced to improvise. 593 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 2: We lost our engine. Taken off out of Gainsville, and 594 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 2: I realized, tried to glide back, did everything about the book, 595 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 2: but realized we weren't going to make it back with 596 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 2: how far out we were, so. 597 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 6: Came down the road and thankfully only minor injuries were reported. 598 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen that video, it is really something. 599 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: It's just luck that the timing wasn't such that a 600 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: car got crunched and people died. 601 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And he was very matter of fact there. 602 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 2: But he do you say we went down the road 603 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 2: after calling air traffic control and say saying we're going down, 604 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 2: Tell my wife I love her. Oh I didn't hear 605 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 2: that part. Yeah, So he was sure he was going 606 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 2: to make it. Let alone the people that he was 607 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 2: going to land on on the highway. Well, and I 608 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 2: saw that video on the news last night and his 609 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 2: propeller was still going as he hit a car, and 610 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, no, I don't want to see that. 611 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 2: He's a heart of a human being. But no, it 612 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 2: was fine, everybody's all right. Wow, yeah, miracle. 613 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: So the social media trial began yesterday in Los Angeles. 614 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 2: We've talked some about that. The opening statements were yesterday. 615 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 2: It's a couple of plaintives saying that uh, Google and YouTube, 616 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 2: Facebook meta are addictive on purpose. They try to they 617 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 2: try to addict you to the product, and then it's 618 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 2: all kinds of bad stuff, particularly for kids. And so 619 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 2: Snapchat and who is the other one that settled already 620 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 2: A couple of them settled the gram that's a meta property. Yeah, 621 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 2: I know the So anyway, here you're opening, and I'm 622 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 2: worried about this case because. 623 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: I hate those companies. I hate Google, Meta. I think 624 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: they're probably all kinds of evil. But the idea that 625 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: a product can't try to be as addictive as positive, 626 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: I mean, every product's trying to be addictive, whether it's 627 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: potato chips or this show or NFL football or whatever. 628 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: You're trying to keep people engaged and can't live without 629 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: it as much as you can. And I don't know 630 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: where you cross the line. 631 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 2: I really I wouldn't freeze it like that, but yeah, yeah, 632 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 2: you're not wrong. 633 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: I mean when when when American Idol used to say, 634 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: and we'll let you know who wins after this, I mean, 635 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: it's just okay, yeah, you're trying. You're trying to keep 636 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: me engaged longer and longer and longer. We got something 637 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: great coming up, and it just keeps not happening until 638 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: later in the hour. That's keeping you engaged the whole hour. 639 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: What's the difference. But I could really see I'd never 640 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: noticed that before, is that in purpose? I could really 641 00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: see a jury hating Google and Zuckerberg not thinking this 642 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: through awarding billions of dollars and I don't know what 643 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: that's going to do. 644 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 2: To everything AnyWho. 645 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,240 Speaker 1: In the opening statements yesterday, the plaintiff's attorney, Mark Lanier, 646 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: went first. He dramatically argued the cases as easy as ABC. 647 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: ABC stands for addicting the brains of. 648 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 2: Children, and he accused Meta and Google devastating because that 649 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 2: does its spell out ABC well and listen to this 650 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 2: because he knows a deep pocket payday when he sees it. 651 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: He accused Meta and Google of being quote, two of 652 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: the richest corporations in history that should have nothing to 653 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: do with it at all, at all, that shouldn't play 654 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: a role in anything. How much money Google or Facebook has. 655 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: But but the attorney knows it does.
