1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: and Gattie and he Armstrong and Getty cipple fifteen seconds. 4 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: Look now it's flag. 5 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: Fits this move flat back hit flug short. 6 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: Got a great point. The best player, Well, he's gonna 7 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: be the number one pick in the NBA draft next year. 8 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: Playing for Duke. Missed the shot that could have sent 9 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: him to the finals, and that's not going to affect 10 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: his life really that much. But he is a freshman. 11 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: And back in the old days, like when I was 12 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: a kid, if you had the NCAA final going on, 13 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: you'd have a whole bunch of guys have been playing 14 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: for the team for four years. Maybe I mean Kareem 15 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: Abdul Jabbar four years. He's been playing for the same 16 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: team those regular Then it became sometimes you'd leave after 17 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: your sophomore junior year. Now it's a whole bunch of 18 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: freshmen out there all the time. I don't know about 19 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: the night's teams in the finals in six. 20 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 2: Year seniors whatever, those are right, because they're not going 21 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: to make the NBA, so they just stay playing college 22 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: basketball until they get booted out. 23 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: So there's a big judge ruling in California. That least 24 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: the Washington Post is saying, I don't know who they're 25 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: quoting here. Oh, they're quoting the PAC twelve commissioner. You 26 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: think of the evolution of the NCAA and all the 27 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: rules changes that have happened over the years, there's never 28 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: been anything as significant as this. Talking about today's ruling, 29 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: but I don't completely understand it. It's all about your 30 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: NIL market. What's NIL stand for again, name, image and likeness, right, 31 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: which became a thing a couple of year years ago, 32 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: And that's how you end up with a super hotty 33 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: gymnast chick making gazillions of dollars, which is fine. I 34 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: don't really have a problem. 35 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: With a bit and a quarterback just being paid millions 36 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: of dollars to come to your school. 37 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: Right, So they're gonna they're gonna have a cap on 38 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: how much money it can be. But it's a ton 39 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: of money. However, many millions of dollars per school you 40 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: can have and all that sort of stuff. So they're 41 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: trying to rain this in a little bit. Whether or 42 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: not that will get challenged at some point, because I 43 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: think most people who like sports, they liked you liked 44 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: it better in the old days professional sports and college sports. 45 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: But it wasn't fair to the players at all. Right, Yeah, 46 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: it was kind of silly. I don't know, so what 47 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: did this rule? Is silly is the right word or not? 48 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: They're going to put a cap at it at two 49 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: point eight million dollars per league or school. I don't 50 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: remember what it was in my closed and I don't 51 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: care enough to look it back again. It was very, very, 52 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: very complicated. I'll tell you that I read multiple paragraphs 53 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: and couldn't figure it out. But it's an attempt to 54 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: try to have some sort of control over this. They're 55 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: trying to take boosters out of it as much. Oh yeah, because. 56 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: That's a huge part of it, if you have a 57 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 2: big booster community that pours money into your nil fund. 58 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 2: I had a friend attempt to explain to me exactly 59 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: how it works, brilliant guy and a huge college sports fan. 60 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 2: About half of the way through, my eyes glased it, 61 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: and I realized I was thinking about something else, right, 62 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: And that's the way I. 63 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: Was reading this long Washington Boast article. It's very complicated 64 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't mention anything though about the players switching around 65 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: a schools thing. To me, that's what's killing it. The 66 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: transfer portal. Yeah, I mean you have a season and 67 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: then you get to the playoffs in football. I know 68 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: when I'm sitting there watching the games, the bowl games 69 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: with my family and my brothers were talking about, oh yeah, 70 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: guy played for K State all year long and now 71 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: he's with this team or whatever. That's ridiculous. 72 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, brand new squad every single year. I can't 73 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: even imagine what it's like to be a college coach, 74 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: to have like the laws of the universe, gravity and 75 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,559 Speaker 2: the theory of relativity, like change every two years. 76 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: All right, Well, the biggest coach in all of college football, 77 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: Nick Shaby, and he quit. He didn't he didn't want 78 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: to be part of this new world and try to 79 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: figure it out. Like I have a particular skill set. 80 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: I knew how to like get people and develop them 81 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: and build a team. But if they're all going to 82 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: move around every year, and that's that's not what I do. 83 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 2: And now he makes verbal commercials, right, what's virtu is 84 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: the VRBO location? 85 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: Rentald my owner? 86 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, ah, funny commercials. 87 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: There are roles in this house. 88 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: No fun, no running, no showers over five minutes, maximum 89 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 2: two flushes per visit. Oh, that'd be tough for me, 90 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: checking times three. Couple standing there, it's two fifty eight, 91 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 2: I know. 92 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: Trying to figure out Hostell, trying to figure out. There's 93 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: a couple of things I wanted to get on that 94 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: I hadn't gotten on yet. On the air, I'm going 95 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: to talk about the Minecraft movie coming up a little 96 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: bit later later, which is the biggest movie the year 97 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: so far, and some phenomenon around it that I found 98 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: very very interesting. Russell brand thing. No, not interested in that. 99 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: Like this headline podcaster Gavin Newsom launches methane satellites as 100 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 2: California borrows money for healthcare. 101 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: I guess well. Plus, Oh, here's the headline I mentioned 102 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 1: earlier that I wanted to get to. This kid named 103 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: Stanley's Zong. He's an adult, but he's trying to be 104 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: a college kid. Four point four to two GPA in 105 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: high school. That's significantly above four. I don't know how 106 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: that even works. 107 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: Near perfectes SAT Advanced placement classes you get bonus points. 108 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: Near perfect SAT best at adults and coding competitions across 109 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: the country, started his own electronic signing service while still 110 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: in high school. He was rejected by sixteen colleges because 111 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: they got too many Asians. How do you like that system? 112 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: Racial quotas in America? Brilliant? That's our university's folks. 113 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: Not unbelievable. I can't believe that has been going on 114 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: for so long. I don't like any of the discrimination whatsoever. 115 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: But I get how you can pull it off against 116 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: white people. I get how that works because you just say, well, 117 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: there's too many white people, we need less of those. 118 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 2: But how do you do how do you do it 119 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: behind the racism of the past, so now they got 120 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 2: to shut up and take whatever you give them. 121 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: How do you get away with keeping out really really 122 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: smart Asian kids? How do you politically justify that? 123 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: That's why the whole uh neo Marxist thing is so 124 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 2: full of lies. Because when it's handy for you, Asian 125 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: people are people of color are being oppressed by the 126 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: white devil. But when it's not handy for you, all 127 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 2: of a sudden, they're white enough. 128 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: Keep them out. It's people of color, color more color, 129 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: they're wheat, they're white enough. Wow, are you familiar with 130 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: the meme with the dominoes tipping over, the guy starting 131 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: a little domino and then the bigger and bigger dominoes. 132 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: Have you seen that meme? And then there's different things 133 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: apply to this one I thought was really good. I 134 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: saw over the weekend with the front little tiny domino 135 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: was Obama makes fun of Trump at the White House 136 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: Correspondent's dinner, and then the final domino was Nintendo switch 137 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: To never released in the United States. This was a 138 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: big deal for my kids. It was announced on Friday 139 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: outside of the Best Bie because I was at the 140 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: Best Bie the other day on Friday. I'm going to 141 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: talk about that later, trying to get a freaking computer fixed. 142 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: It's impossible. They had all these giant Nintendo displays outside, 143 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: big giant cardboard, like you know when something huge happens, 144 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: because they knew they were going to be lines outside 145 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: the best Buy people lined up to get the new 146 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: switch to. They announced on Friday, Nintendo did that they're 147 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: not going to release it in the United States currently 148 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: because they're made in Japan and they don't want to 149 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: deal with all the tariff stuff going forward with all 150 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: the Nintendo things, so they're going to hold onto it. 151 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: See how this shakes out. It's a big deal for 152 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: the video game industry. 153 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 2: Was that pressure from the Japanese government on Nintendo Corporation? 154 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: I don't know who pressured it, but they they pulled. 155 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: I mean, if you call best Buy, I don't know 156 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: about today, but but when I was calling on Friday, 157 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: the first thing it says, what if you're looking to 158 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: get in a Nintendo too and would like to get 159 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: on I mean, that's the first thing they say at 160 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: the entire company best Buy across the country. It was 161 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: gonna be their big, big draw seller, and Nintendo said, no, 162 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: not going to do it because of the tariffs. Wow. 163 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 2: I wonder if they just calculated this will all be 164 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 2: over in a couple of weeks and we won't have 165 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: to either a jack up or price in a way 166 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 2: that really punishes the hell out of our customers, or 167 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: be not make enough profit on it. 168 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: That's the way I guessed to delay. Yeah, that's the 169 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: way I took it. And I wonder how many products 170 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: are like that that aren't quite as high profile that 171 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: would make the news. As the Nintendo switch to being pulled. 172 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,719 Speaker 1: There are going to be so many ripple effects from 173 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: this tariff thing. It's just it's unimaginable. 174 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, including on exporters, American exporters and American manufacturers of 175 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: domestic goods who import like raw materials or little parts 176 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 2: or whatever. I mean, it's that's why those of us 177 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: who believe in free trade, and yes, I understand that 178 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: what was called free trade globally wasn't actually and I'm 179 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: in favor of reforming that. But you can't possibly centrally 180 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 2: plan an economy. It's far too complex. I mean, hell, 181 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 2: you can hardly centrally plan like one product if it's 182 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: at all complex the entire economy. That's ludicrous. 183 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: How long will it take for the positive ripples to hit? 184 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: Two to forty years depending on what you're talking about. 185 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: Two to forty years, it seems like a long time. Yeah, 186 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: that's why since we have elections, national elections every two years, 187 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: it seems problematic. 188 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say, strategically speaking, and then in the 189 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 2: seventeenth quarter of the football game, I will be no, no, no, 190 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: that's not the way your term works. 191 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't. 192 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: That's why I find it difficult to believe Trump actually 193 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 2: thinks we're going to become like a trade barrier isolated. 194 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 2: We'll make all of our stuff on our own place. 195 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: He's not going to be in power nearly long enough, 196 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 2: and Congress won't be on his side in the Senate, 197 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 2: and then I just that can't possibly work. 198 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: One more business thing to throw in before we take 199 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: a break, kind of a trivia question in case it 200 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: comes up. Olive Garden, I didn't know this was the 201 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: top us casual dining restaurant for the last seven years. 202 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: Olive Garden did not know that. I've not been to 203 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: the OG in a very long time, have you, Michael Og? No? Anybody? 204 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: Is there anybody good food like to find? Fifteen years minimum? 205 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: I think since I've been number one. Huh, maybe we're 206 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: bubbled number one casual dining restaurant in the country for 207 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: seven years. They just got replaced by now. This place 208 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: we do go to regularly because we like the cinnamon 209 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: bread and if it's a birthday, we like the fact 210 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: that they put you on a saddle there's a hint 211 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: and make you go woo ha as they all sing 212 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: around you. Texall Boy Gyms. Texas Roadhouse is now the 213 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: number one casual dining place in America, and we go there. 214 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, half dozen times last year. Probably. Wow, 215 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: I don't believe I've ever been there. Some good eating? 216 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: Right there? 217 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: Do they have white tablecloths and waiters and tuxedos? That's 218 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 2: the only smell establishment I have frequently? Absolutely not. 219 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: But every once in a while they play music and 220 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: all the waitresses a line dance, and the food's good too. Okay, 221 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: we got other stuff on the way. Stay here first, 222 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: a little breaking news. Don't need the donkey, I don't think. 223 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how serious he is, but Trump has 224 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: just threatened an additional fifty percent tariff on China if 225 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't withdraw its retaliatory tariff plan that had announced 226 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: Friday of thirty four percent. I think that's what it announced. 227 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: So we got we already? Have we added twenty? Aren't 228 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: we running out of percentages? Are we over one hundred percent? Now? 229 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: Are we like one hundred and forty percent? Like your 230 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: coach wanted you to give? Yes? 231 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: Where will it end? And will the courts end it? 232 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 2: Next segment? Interesting non partisan analysis? 233 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: How serious is Trump about an additional fifty percent tariff 234 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: on China? And how could he do it? At least 235 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: the way things are happening so far. He could announce 236 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: it a half hour from now, right, and that's the 237 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: law of the land. 238 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's not a democracy, republic, or whatever you 239 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: want to call it. Too much executive power is too 240 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 2: much power, no matter who's in the White House, because 241 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 2: if we do it, they'll do it different topic. 242 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: I found this so interesting. I watched it closely to 243 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: make sure it wasn't AI because if we played it before, 244 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: I didn't remember. This is Bernie Sanders talking about immigration 245 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, prior to Trump becoming president the first time, 246 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: open open box. That's a coke bund This proposal, the idea, 247 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: of course. 248 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 3: I mean, that's a right wing proposal which says, essentially, 249 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: there is no United States, kind of make everybody in 250 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: American port. Then you're doing away with the concept of 251 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 3: a nation state. And I don't think there's any country 252 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 3: in the world which believes in that. What right wing 253 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 3: people in this country would love is an open water policy, 254 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 3: bring in all kinds of people who work for two 255 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 3: or three dollars and no, that would be great for them. 256 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: I don't believe in that. Fornard Sanders, and it goes 257 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: on and on and on in that same vein that 258 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: it is a right wing Republican thing to want to 259 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: open the borders bring in all these this cheap labor. 260 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: And if you do that, you have no country. There's 261 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: no sovereignty. What's the point of even having a country. Yeah, 262 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: that's the argument a lot of us are making on 263 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: the right through the whole Biden uh ridiculousness of the 264 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: biggest movement of human beings in world history. 265 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, Bernie is consistent with Sesar Chavez and other you know, 266 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: labor leaders especially you said, no, we don't want millions 267 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: of people flooding in and cutting our bargaining ability by 268 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: flooding the market with you know, more laborers. That's the 269 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: last thing they want to make us all poorer. 270 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 271 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 2: Well, and Bernie understands also that if you, for instance, 272 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: I don't know, through the border open and millions of 273 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 2: people wash across all of a sudden, Americans are going 274 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 2: to say, no, we can't have a big welfare state 275 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 2: like Bernie Sanders wants socialism. In fact, we got to 276 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 2: cut the one we've got because we've got people coming 277 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: in from all over the globe to suck at the 278 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: delicious teat of the federal government. It happened though, and 279 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: already have executives having too much power. I've decided not 280 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: to enforce immigration law. Anybody wants to come into the 281 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 2: country can That's what Biden said. 282 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: Essentially, Wow, that's a heck of a back to back 283 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: Presidency's right there. Biden launches the biggest migration movement in 284 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: world history in peacetime, and then Trump reforms the entire 285 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: global economic order. Both individual decisions. That's something. 286 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's kind of disturbing. Not kind of it's disturbing. 287 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: Congress could have stood up to either one of them, though, 288 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: Uh yes, I mean, we have a system for it 289 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: if it wants to do its thing. That's one of 290 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: the problems with bipartisanship. 291 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: Die, I mean, if you know, Hunter Biden gets selected president, 292 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 2: how about that thought and at institutes, you know, some 293 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 2: sort of horrific eighty percent tax for all white people 294 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 2: or hookers or whatever, and you can't get a single 295 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: Democrat to cross the aisle to vote to you know, 296 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: limit his power or override it or whatever. I mean, 297 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 2: that's just not a healthy place to be. 298 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: What would Hunter Biden run on a baby mama and 299 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: every garage? Probably? Yeah, come line up every nose. 300 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 2: Alicia Finley in the Wall Street Journal makes a pretty 301 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 2: interesting point though, that employers, especially manufacturers, can't find reliable, 302 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: conscientious workers who can pass a drug test, and so 303 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 2: we've simultaneously got millions. 304 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: Of people flooding across the border. 305 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: What we did anyway cutting the wages of low wage Americans, 306 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 2: but manufacturers can't get people to show up. 307 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: The drug test thing. It's all around marijuana. I don't 308 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: probably we got to figure that out. If it's going 309 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: to be legal in almost every state, you can't continue 310 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: to drug test for it. I don't think Armstrong and Getty. 311 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 4: There's been some speculation, partly because of that video that 312 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 4: was posted on truth Social, that there was some sort 313 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 4: of deliberate effort on your heart to have the market 314 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 4: sell off. 315 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: Can you talk about that? 316 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 5: There's such a But I do want to solve the 317 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 5: deficit problem that we have with China, with the European 318 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 5: Union and other nations, and they're going to have to 319 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 5: do that, And if they want to talk about that, 320 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 5: I'm open to talking. But otherwise why would I want 321 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 5: to talk? 322 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: Well, there could be short term pain. It's going to 323 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: be consumers who bear. 324 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 2: The costs are a terrible mistake. 325 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: They don't work. They will lead to higher prices. Remember 326 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: what Mama Gump. 327 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 3: Said, stupid is a stupid does Let's don't. 328 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: I just don't have a trade war. I heard some 329 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: Republicans in there. That's all republicans, jack, four of them. 330 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: I haven't heard anybody explain to me sufficiently what he's 331 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: talking about regarding the trade deficit we've got between countries. 332 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I've heard some really smart, reasonable people say 333 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: they don't get why he thinks it's always a bad thing. 334 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: It just happens. 335 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 2: I mean, you're gonna have countries where you have a 336 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 2: huge trade surplus, and we do actually quite a few, 337 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 2: And then you're gonna have countries that you just want 338 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 2: more of their stuff than they can buy from you. 339 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 2: As I've said before, if you're a big, wealthy country, 340 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 2: you're gonna buy more from small, poor countries than they 341 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: could conceivably buy from you. So you're gonna run a 342 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 2: trade deficit, and it's fine. He seems obsessed with it 343 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: in a weird way, don't. I don't get it. Honestly, anyway, 344 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 2: I thought this was interesting. Oh, in just a moment 345 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 2: or two, what the courts might say about all this 346 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 2: because it's on pretty shaky constitutional ground the tariff regime. 347 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 2: But I thought this just interesting. A good worker can 348 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: be hard to find these days. Blame government, which showers 349 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 2: benefits on able bodied people who don't work, while at 350 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 2: the same time subsidizing college degrees that don't lead to 351 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 2: productive employments. 352 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's definitely going on. Great summary. 353 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 2: The result is millions of idle men and millions of 354 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 2: unfilled jobs, what an economist would call a dead weight 355 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 2: loss to society. I had a big study that we 356 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 2: touched on briefly, but and it was from NPR, interestingly enough, 357 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 2: about the many hundreds of thousands of people on disability 358 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 2: who aren't disabled. The plant just closed in their town 359 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 2: and it's easy enough to get disability that they went 360 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 2: ahead and did it. And they've got some candid quotes 361 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 2: from people who like run those programs or from the corporations. Hey, 362 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: we're just hiding you folks because they're not listed as unemployed. 363 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: Is there anything that kind of likes it too? Is 364 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,959 Speaker 1: there any way you'd get turned down from disability if 365 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: you claimed your back hurt because there's just no way 366 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: to prove your back, doesn't it. 367 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not effortless to get it, but it's easy anyway. 368 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 2: Forty percent of small business owners in March, forty percent 369 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 2: reported job openings they could not fill, with the share 370 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 2: in construction fifty six percent, No bueno. When was the 371 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: last time you passed a construction site and they were 372 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 2: not playing Mexican music? Never transportation fifty three percent they 373 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 2: can't fill their jobs. Manufacturing is forty seven percent. According 374 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 2: to last week's National Federation of Independent Business survey. Let's 375 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 2: see Labor Department's job openings and labor turnover survey tell 376 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: a similar story. There are twice as many job openings 377 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,959 Speaker 2: in manufacturing than in the mid two thousands. 378 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,239 Speaker 1: There's a shriff deployment. There's not a single twenty two 379 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: year old coming out of college with whatever degree that 380 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: wants any of those jobs you. 381 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 2: Just mentioned, right, labor force participation rate among working age 382 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: men is now five percent lower than in the early eighties. 383 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 2: As a result, there are about three point five million 384 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 2: fewer men between the ages of twenty five and fifty 385 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: four in the workplace even as the population has grown, 386 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 2: and one point three million between the ages of twenty 387 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 2: five and thirty four. Then there would have been were 388 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 2: it not for this decline. 389 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, but if they're working, they wouldn't be able to 390 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: play the new Nintendo switch to. So where have all 391 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: the good working men gone? 392 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 2: Some are subsisting on government benefits or living off their parents. 393 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: About seventeen percent of working age men are on Medicaid, 394 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 2: seven and a half percent on food stamps, and six 395 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 2: point three percent on Social Security, many claiming disability payouts, 396 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 2: according to the Census Bureau. Many spend their days playing 397 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: video games and day trading. 398 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: Day trading system is this? Friends say they're young? What 399 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: kind of system is this? Where I'm at work to 400 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: help pay for this? 401 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 2: As friends say they've seen young men on dating apps 402 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 2: claim to be working as self employed traders, financial bloggers, 403 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 2: and even retired financial engineer. Current euphemisms for Robin hood 404 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 2: bros who speculate on stocks and share tips on Reddit. 405 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: Ladies, if you come across, I don't care how good 406 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: looking he seems. If he claims he's a financial blogger, 407 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: he is going to be living off of you. Yeah, 408 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: and no blogger, that's my job. Part of it was that. 409 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: The stocks were doing nothing but going up for the 410 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 2: last several years, and so everybody started to think they're 411 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 2: a genius and quit their jobs. 412 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: I guess. 413 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 2: But on a different topic, somewhat related the tariff thing. 414 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: I'm a jigger. I've heard of it. 415 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: The Constitution make makes it Congress's job to levy taxes. 416 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 2: We all know that right from school, including tariffs and 417 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 2: regulate four or in commerce. 418 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 1: That's for Congress. 419 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 2: Starting in the nineteen thirties, Congress started shifting some of 420 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 2: that authority to the president. They passed laws that allowed 421 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 2: the president to impose tariffs in response to trade treaty violations, 422 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 2: unfair trade barriers, and other urgent situations. But Trump is 423 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 2: relying on another law that doesn't specifically mention tariffs, the 424 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 2: International Emergency Economic Powers Act, passed in nineteen seventy seven, 425 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 2: which gives the president broad emergency powers to regulate foreign 426 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 2: commerce to deal with quote unusual and extraordinary threats against 427 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 2: the national security or the economy. Presidents have invoked the 428 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 2: laws the law dozens of times, usually to impose economic 429 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 2: sanctions or freeze the property of foreign terrorists and other criminals. 430 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 2: Trump's used the law to sanctioned Venezuela's main state owned 431 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 2: oil company, but Trump is the first president to use 432 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 2: the law to set teriff rates, and he's done so 433 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 2: through emergency declarations, linking the higher export taxes to efforts 434 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 2: to combat fentanyl traffic, illegal immigration, and trade imbalances. This 435 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 2: is absolutely headed for the courts mounts. A trade imbalance, 436 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 2: a national emergency. 437 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: The fentanyl and the immigration thing, the fentyl ones a stretch, 438 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: the immigration things a stretch to call that an emergency 439 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: that you can do this, but the what was the 440 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: third one, that's the one that's really trade imbalances. That's 441 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: really ridiculous to call that an emergency. Yeah it is. 442 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't now as leverage in a negotiation. I 443 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 2: get the trafficking and illegal immigration and how that is 444 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 2: for the benefit of the American people. It's a it's 445 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 2: a righteous idea to try to kill the fentanyl trade 446 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 2: into llegal immigration to like sure and all trade imbalances. 447 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,239 Speaker 1: To me, that's just crazy. Yeah, using whatever tools you've 448 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: got your toolbox to deal with fentanyl or illegal immigration 449 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: is one thing, But I don't know. The whole emergency 450 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: thing always always concerns me for anybody at any level. Yeah, 451 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: please COVID, isn't that enough? 452 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 2: To convince conservatives and you know, maga folks that we 453 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: don't want the executive to have. 454 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: Sweeping emergency powers. 455 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 2: That tool gets handed to the next person, goodness sakes. 456 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: And they will you know, there's a school shooting and 457 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: they will say, this is a this is an emergency, 458 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: it's a health emergency. Shootings. That was brought up during Biden, 459 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: the idea of declaring some sort of health emergency or 460 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: safety emergency around shootings and then you can do all 461 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: kinds of gun things that are you couldn't do otherwise. Yeah. 462 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 2: One of their favorite tax is to say that, like 463 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 2: poverty or income inequality is a civil rights issue. If 464 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 2: they can show that there's a racial imbalance of any kind, 465 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 2: then it becomes you know, the Justice Department and it's 466 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 2: a civil rights violation to make more than your neighbor 467 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 2: if you have lighter skin than them. And god knows 468 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 2: what they might concoct President aoc. 469 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: Oh, here's the best one, the most the easiest one 470 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: probably for the right administration. A climate emergency, and they 471 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: could do all kinds of things with not letting you 472 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: drive a gas car or whatever they want to do. Right, Yeah, 473 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: that's highly troubling I want to talk about my son 474 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,959 Speaker 1: went to the Minecraft movie Friday night, so did like 475 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: every other young person in America. Interesting phenomena around that 476 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: I want to bring up, among other things. We'll finish strong, 477 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,479 Speaker 1: stay tuned Strong. I don't know how many of you 478 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: went to the Minecraft movie. You'd probably have to be 479 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: that you took younger kids to it, or you have 480 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: older kids that you know went to it, and that 481 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: could be from age thirteen till thirty five. Because Minecraft's 482 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: been the top video game in the world for a very, 483 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: very long time. 484 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 2: And you're just going to say, I hope the twenty 485 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: to thirty five year olds who loved Minecraft are going 486 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 2: on their own, not being brought by their parents. 487 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, So there, you know, you might be a 488 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: forty year old guy that Minecraft was huge for you 489 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: when you were younger, and you're kind of going out 490 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: in nostalgia or whatever. But the Minecraft Movie broke all 491 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 1: kinds of box office records, Biggest video game movie opening ever, 492 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: biggest movie of the year so far. It's a Jack 493 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: Black vehicle. He's pretty enjoying him on Saturday Night Live. 494 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: I wonder if he ever auditioned for SARAHNT Live he's 495 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: just one of those people that's he's like Keenan Thompson. 496 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: He's just one of those people that's funny. It doesn't 497 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: really even matter if the lines are good. He's just 498 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: funny saying them, and he made every skip better. But anyway, 499 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: here's an interesting thing about the Minecraft movie that is 500 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: a new phenomenon. Perhaps. First of all, it was my 501 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: son wanted to go with his friends, so I wanted 502 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: me to buy tickets online. And you now, at all 503 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: movie theaters, you buy your tickets like you do for 504 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: a concert. You have a specific seat. And I said, well, 505 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: you can sit wherever you want. He said, no, it's 506 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 1: going to be packed. And I don't know, okay, And it 507 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: turned out it was. He texted me when he got 508 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: there and there was a line three blocks long. And 509 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: they were playing the movie like every hour on different screens, 510 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: and there was still a line three blocks long on 511 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: opening day for this movie. And my youngest son, Henry, 512 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: who's thirteen, he'd mentioned at boy Scouts everybody was dropping 513 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: Minecraft lines. They said, well, the movie hasn't come out yet, right, 514 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: He said yeah, but everybody knows the lines from And 515 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: I said, well how and he said well, the trailers 516 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: that they run. So if you're on YouTube and you 517 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: don't know YouTube knows who's watching, they're not sending me 518 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: that trailer. I pay the premium on YouTube, so I 519 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: don't have to watch a hands. But they see all 520 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 1: these ads and they see the trailers, and so they 521 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: are catch phrases that caught on before the movie comes out. 522 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: Now start the clip here. So this is my high schooler. 523 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: He knew this was coming, and so did everybody else 524 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: in the theater, and they got He got his phone 525 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: out and recorded it in here, and then I'll fill 526 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: it in after you. This is Jack Black. Here we 527 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: go actually ended up talking over it, but everybody in 528 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: the theater said the line along with the character, and 529 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: then clapped at a movie they've never seen before. Wow, 530 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: I find that interesting. I remember we're talking at this standpoint. 531 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 2: When the Simpsons movie came out, everybody knew about Spider Pig, 532 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 2: for instance, and the Spider Pig song. All the best 533 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: punchlines are in the trailers. It's annoying. 534 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: Chicken jockey is what everybody said there, Chicken jockey. And 535 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: then they all clap for a movie they've never seen before. 536 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: So the height the promotional machine for these movies. That's 537 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: got to be its own industry where I'm sure you 538 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,959 Speaker 1: can make a ton of money of understanding how to 539 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: create this kind of buzz before the product's even been 540 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: out there, and then anybody even has a chance to 541 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: decide if they like it or not. 542 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and now the social media stuff, I'll bet that 543 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 2: is that the highest paid the position at a movie studio. 544 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: It damn well got it might be. And then so 545 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: then that's the commerce part of it. And then I 546 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: just thought the cultural part of it, how important it 547 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: was for both of my kids to know the catchphrases 548 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: and throw them around, and like the street credit gives 549 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: you to be able to know them and laugh at 550 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: them and everything like that. Like he did a boy 551 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: Scout camp two weeks ago, everybody was throwing a it 552 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: wasn't chicken, it was chicken jockey, and what was the 553 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: other one? It's coming in hot I guess it's a hotline. 554 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: And you say that to your friends that they all 555 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: laugh and it makes you cooler and they cooler, and 556 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: it's a bonding moment or something. Sure any anthropologists could 557 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: explain it to you. I feel like when I was younger. 558 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: The movie had to a movie had to come out 559 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: and catch on before there were catchphrases. I don't remember ever, 560 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: like the crowd chanting a catchphrase for a movie we've 561 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: never seen before. 562 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 2: All Right, you might giggle with recognition seeing that punchline 563 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 2: that was on the promo that annoyed me in the 564 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 2: ad or the trailer or whatever, but no, not so 565 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 2: omnipresent that people even know, you know when it's coming 566 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 2: and can say it. 567 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: And get out their phones to record it. So the 568 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: movie industry is dying, you know, they're just they're just 569 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,479 Speaker 1: really struggling to try to figure out how to get 570 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: people in theaters. But maybe creating this sort of a 571 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: yeah gotta be in the no phenomenon ahead of time 572 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: is the way to get people in there. Yeah, it's 573 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: more I need to be able. It's more of a 574 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: I need to say I've seen that because we're all 575 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: saying this catchphrase than it is about wanting to see 576 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: the movie. That's I guess That's what I'm getting at. Yeah. Yeah, interesting, 577 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: they've had to stand it on their head. 578 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 2: I know. 579 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: The seats are sure a lot more comfortable at the 580 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: movie theater than they used to be. That's an adventure 581 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: back to one some day. So expensive though. Oh see, 582 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: now I'm back to watching it home. Oh it's a 583 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: lot of money I sent him. I bought his ticket. 584 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: It was I think with the tax and buying it 585 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: on fandego, I might have spent close to twenty bucks 586 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: for a movie ticket. And then I give him twenty bucks. 587 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: I said, I'm only giving you. I wanted forty. I said, 588 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: I'll give you twenty bucks and that's it. You can 589 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: drink out of the water fountain or I don't know, 590 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: bring a snack bar or something. But but that's sixty 591 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: you know, that's forty dollars. I'm into this. 592 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 2: All of these numbers seem so high to me, don't they. 593 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 2: This is how you end up saying, I remember where 594 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 2: you could take your best girl Nickelodeon for a dime. 595 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: Yeah that that commentary. Your commentary right there made sense 596 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: prior to the inflation. But the inflation has everybody saying 597 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: these numbers seem high. 598 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well it's not. You know, eh, when I 599 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 2: was young man, it's like two years ago. 600 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, thank god, they don't serve eggs at the movie theater. 601 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: Imagine how expensive.

That's about 605 00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: say something else, but I'll save it from my final 606 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: But here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty. 607 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 2: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew 608 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 2: to wrap things up for the day.

It seems just so wrong 616 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: to get up and leave while it's still going. I know, 617 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: it seems great. 618 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 2: You gotta systematically dehydrate yourself over the course of two days, Michael, 619 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 2: Katie Green are esteemed Newswoman. 620 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: As a final thought, Katie, Oh, we talked earlier in 621 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: the show about that video of the liberals just unhinged 622 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,479 Speaker 1: at the protest, and you can see it by going 623 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: to Armstrong.
