WEBVTT - A Line Up Every Nose 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.720 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:26.040 and Gattie and he Armstrong and Getty cipple fifteen seconds. 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:27.400 Look now it's flag. 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:35.320 Fits this move flat back hit flug short. 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:41.520 Got a great point. The best player, Well, he's gonna 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.760 be the number one pick in the NBA draft next year. 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.919 Playing for Duke. Missed the shot that could have sent 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.479 him to the finals, and that's not going to affect 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.920 his life really that much. But he is a freshman. 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.440 And back in the old days, like when I was 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.560 a kid, if you had the NCAA final going on, 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:01.320 you'd have a whole bunch of guys have been playing 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.440 for the team for four years. Maybe I mean Kareem 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:08.320 Abdul Jabbar four years. He's been playing for the same 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:13.240 team those regular Then it became sometimes you'd leave after 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.360 your sophomore junior year. Now it's a whole bunch of 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.000 freshmen out there all the time. I don't know about 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.520 the night's teams in the finals in six. 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:26.399 Year seniors whatever, those are right, because they're not going 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.600 to make the NBA, so they just stay playing college 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:30.440 basketball until they get booted out. 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:34.720 So there's a big judge ruling in California. That least 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.000 the Washington Post is saying, I don't know who they're 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.640 quoting here. Oh, they're quoting the PAC twelve commissioner. You 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.160 think of the evolution of the NCAA and all the 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.360 rules changes that have happened over the years, there's never 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.320 been anything as significant as this. Talking about today's ruling, 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.000 but I don't completely understand it. It's all about your 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:56.280 NIL market. What's NIL stand for again, name, image and likeness, right, 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.360 which became a thing a couple of year years ago, 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.520 And that's how you end up with a super hotty 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:07.560 gymnast chick making gazillions of dollars, which is fine. I 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:08.799 don't really have a problem. 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:12.040 With a bit and a quarterback just being paid millions 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:13.520 of dollars to come to your school. 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.240 Right, So they're gonna they're gonna have a cap on 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.320 how much money it can be. But it's a ton 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:24.640 of money. However, many millions of dollars per school you 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.800 can have and all that sort of stuff. So they're 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.120 trying to rain this in a little bit. Whether or 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:37.360 not that will get challenged at some point, because I 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.680 think most people who like sports, they liked you liked 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.960 it better in the old days professional sports and college sports. 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.960 But it wasn't fair to the players at all. Right, Yeah, 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.200 it was kind of silly. I don't know, so what 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.480 did this rule? Is silly is the right word or not? 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.919 They're going to put a cap at it at two 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.919 point eight million dollars per league or school. I don't 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.960 remember what it was in my closed and I don't 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.360 care enough to look it back again. It was very, very, 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.679 very complicated. I'll tell you that I read multiple paragraphs 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:12.040 and couldn't figure it out. But it's an attempt to 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.480 try to have some sort of control over this. They're 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:20.760 trying to take boosters out of it as much. Oh yeah, because. 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:21.880 That's a huge part of it, if you have a 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.640 big booster community that pours money into your nil fund. 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.080 I had a friend attempt to explain to me exactly 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.560 how it works, brilliant guy and a huge college sports fan. 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.520 About half of the way through, my eyes glased it, 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.520 and I realized I was thinking about something else, right, 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:36.120 And that's the way I. 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.760 Was reading this long Washington Boast article. It's very complicated 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.280 It doesn't mention anything though about the players switching around 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:48.000 a schools thing. To me, that's what's killing it. The 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.240 transfer portal. Yeah, I mean you have a season and 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.320 then you get to the playoffs in football. I know 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.320 when I'm sitting there watching the games, the bowl games 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.000 with my family and my brothers were talking about, oh yeah, 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.000 guy played for K State all year long and now 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.120 he's with this team or whatever. That's ridiculous. 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.320 Yeah yeah, brand new squad every single year. I can't 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.800 even imagine what it's like to be a college coach, 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.760 to have like the laws of the universe, gravity and 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.559 the theory of relativity, like change every two years. 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.760 All right, Well, the biggest coach in all of college football, 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.840 Nick Shaby, and he quit. He didn't he didn't want 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.440 to be part of this new world and try to 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.200 figure it out. Like I have a particular skill set. 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.280 I knew how to like get people and develop them 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:32.920 and build a team. But if they're all going to 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.320 move around every year, and that's that's not what I do. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.480 And now he makes verbal commercials, right, what's virtu is 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.000 the VRBO location? 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:43.360 Rentald my owner? 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.719 Yeah, ah, funny commercials. 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:50.760 There are roles in this house. 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:55.680 No fun, no running, no showers over five minutes, maximum 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.599 two flushes per visit. Oh, that'd be tough for me, 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.360 checking times three. Couple standing there, it's two fifty eight, 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:05.160 I know. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.040 Trying to figure out Hostell, trying to figure out. There's 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.120 a couple of things I wanted to get on that 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:18.320 I hadn't gotten on yet. On the air, I'm going 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.720 to talk about the Minecraft movie coming up a little 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:22.680 bit later later, which is the biggest movie the year 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.680 so far, and some phenomenon around it that I found 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:30.400 very very interesting. Russell brand thing. No, not interested in that. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:39.440 Like this headline podcaster Gavin Newsom launches methane satellites as 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.479 California borrows money for healthcare. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.159 I guess well. Plus, Oh, here's the headline I mentioned 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.559 earlier that I wanted to get to. This kid named 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:51.000 Stanley's Zong. He's an adult, but he's trying to be 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:55.039 a college kid. Four point four to two GPA in 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:59.400 high school. That's significantly above four. I don't know how 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:00.000 that even works. 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:05.920 Near perfectes SAT Advanced placement classes you get bonus points. 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:10.480 Near perfect SAT best at adults and coding competitions across 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.480 the country, started his own electronic signing service while still 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:18.680 in high school. He was rejected by sixteen colleges because 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.640 they got too many Asians. How do you like that system? 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.760 Racial quotas in America? Brilliant? That's our university's folks. 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.279 Not unbelievable. I can't believe that has been going on 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:35.640 for so long. I don't like any of the discrimination whatsoever. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.240 But I get how you can pull it off against 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:42.600 white people. I get how that works because you just say, well, 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.480 there's too many white people, we need less of those. 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:46.520 But how do you do how do you do it 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.880 behind the racism of the past, so now they got 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:51.440 to shut up and take whatever you give them. 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.600 How do you get away with keeping out really really 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:57.520 smart Asian kids? How do you politically justify that? 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.120 That's why the whole uh neo Marxist thing is so 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.520 full of lies. Because when it's handy for you, Asian 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.320 people are people of color are being oppressed by the 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.080 white devil. But when it's not handy for you, all 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:11.640 of a sudden, they're white enough. 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.720 Keep them out. It's people of color, color more color, 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.720 they're wheat, they're white enough. Wow, are you familiar with 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:23.800 the meme with the dominoes tipping over, the guy starting 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.880 a little domino and then the bigger and bigger dominoes. 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:27.760 Have you seen that meme? And then there's different things 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.040 apply to this one I thought was really good. I 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.640 saw over the weekend with the front little tiny domino 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.960 was Obama makes fun of Trump at the White House 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:40.720 Correspondent's dinner, and then the final domino was Nintendo switch 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.880 To never released in the United States. This was a 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:48.200 big deal for my kids. It was announced on Friday 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.280 outside of the Best Bie because I was at the 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.040 Best Bie the other day on Friday. I'm going to 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.360 talk about that later, trying to get a freaking computer fixed. 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.640 It's impossible. They had all these giant Nintendo displays outside, 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:04.800 big giant cardboard, like you know when something huge happens, 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:06.880 because they knew they were going to be lines outside 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.040 the best Buy people lined up to get the new 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.120 switch to. They announced on Friday, Nintendo did that they're 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.200 not going to release it in the United States currently 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.640 because they're made in Japan and they don't want to 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.240 deal with all the tariff stuff going forward with all 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.400 the Nintendo things, so they're going to hold onto it. 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.640 See how this shakes out. It's a big deal for 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.680 the video game industry. 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:34.360 Was that pressure from the Japanese government on Nintendo Corporation? 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.000 I don't know who pressured it, but they they pulled. 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:39.920 I mean, if you call best Buy, I don't know 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.360 about today, but but when I was calling on Friday, 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.520 the first thing it says, what if you're looking to 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.480 get in a Nintendo too and would like to get 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.400 on I mean, that's the first thing they say at 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.439 the entire company best Buy across the country. It was 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.400 gonna be their big, big draw seller, and Nintendo said, no, 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.960 not going to do it because of the tariffs. Wow. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.040 I wonder if they just calculated this will all be 0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:59.720 over in a couple of weeks and we won't have 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:01.880 to either a jack up or price in a way 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.320 that really punishes the hell out of our customers, or 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.640 be not make enough profit on it. 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.959 That's the way I guessed to delay. Yeah, that's the 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.160 way I took it. And I wonder how many products 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:16.000 are like that that aren't quite as high profile that 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.880 would make the news. As the Nintendo switch to being pulled. 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.719 There are going to be so many ripple effects from 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.120 this tariff thing. It's just it's unimaginable. 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:31.320 Yeah, including on exporters, American exporters and American manufacturers of 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.760 domestic goods who import like raw materials or little parts 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.760 or whatever. I mean, it's that's why those of us 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.240 who believe in free trade, and yes, I understand that 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.280 what was called free trade globally wasn't actually and I'm 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:49.640 in favor of reforming that. But you can't possibly centrally 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.439 plan an economy. It's far too complex. I mean, hell, 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.839 you can hardly centrally plan like one product if it's 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.800 at all complex the entire economy. That's ludicrous. 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.480 How long will it take for the positive ripples to hit? 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:10.880 Two to forty years depending on what you're talking about. 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.760 Two to forty years, it seems like a long time. Yeah, 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:18.680 that's why since we have elections, national elections every two years, 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:19.800 it seems problematic. 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.839 Yeah, I would say, strategically speaking, and then in the 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.719 seventeenth quarter of the football game, I will be no, no, no, 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:30.800 that's not the way your term works. 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:32.480 So yeah, I don't. 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.800 That's why I find it difficult to believe Trump actually 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:40.720 thinks we're going to become like a trade barrier isolated. 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.280 We'll make all of our stuff on our own place. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.280 He's not going to be in power nearly long enough, 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.559 and Congress won't be on his side in the Senate, 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.160 and then I just that can't possibly work. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.439 One more business thing to throw in before we take 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.840 a break, kind of a trivia question in case it 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.400 comes up. Olive Garden, I didn't know this was the 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.640 top us casual dining restaurant for the last seven years. 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.199 Olive Garden did not know that. I've not been to 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:12.160 the OG in a very long time, have you, Michael Og? No? Anybody? 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:16.360 Is there anybody good food like to find? Fifteen years minimum? 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.880 I think since I've been number one. Huh, maybe we're 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.600 bubbled number one casual dining restaurant in the country for 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.680 seven years. They just got replaced by now. This place 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.160 we do go to regularly because we like the cinnamon 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.240 bread and if it's a birthday, we like the fact 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.080 that they put you on a saddle there's a hint 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.080 and make you go woo ha as they all sing 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:41.000 around you. Texall Boy Gyms. Texas Roadhouse is now the 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.160 number one casual dining place in America, and we go there. 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.920 I don't know, half dozen times last year. Probably. Wow, 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.440 I don't believe I've ever been there. Some good eating? 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:51.080 Right there? 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.480 Do they have white tablecloths and waiters and tuxedos? That's 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.080 the only smell establishment I have frequently? Absolutely not. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:58.520 But every once in a while they play music and 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:02.960 all the waitresses a line dance, and the food's good too. Okay, 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:08.439 we got other stuff on the way. Stay here first, 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:13.880 a little breaking news. Don't need the donkey, I don't think. 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:18.640 I'm not sure how serious he is, but Trump has 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:23.760 just threatened an additional fifty percent tariff on China if 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:28.080 it doesn't withdraw its retaliatory tariff plan that had announced 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.920 Friday of thirty four percent. I think that's what it announced. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:37.000 So we got we already? Have we added twenty? Aren't 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.360 we running out of percentages? Are we over one hundred percent? Now? 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.520 Are we like one hundred and forty percent? Like your 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:46.840 coach wanted you to give? Yes? 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.480 Where will it end? And will the courts end it? 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:53.600 Next segment? Interesting non partisan analysis? 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.800 How serious is Trump about an additional fifty percent tariff 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:01.480 on China? And how could he do it? At least 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.319 the way things are happening so far. He could announce 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.960 it a half hour from now, right, and that's the 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:07.800 law of the land. 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:12.160 Yeah, that's that's not a democracy, republic, or whatever you 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.400 want to call it. Too much executive power is too 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.800 much power, no matter who's in the White House, because 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.680 if we do it, they'll do it different topic. 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.360 I found this so interesting. I watched it closely to 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:26.400 make sure it wasn't AI because if we played it before, 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:31.000 I didn't remember. This is Bernie Sanders talking about immigration 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:36.760 in twenty fifteen, prior to Trump becoming president the first time, 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.920 open open box. That's a coke bund This proposal, the idea, 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:42.760 of course. 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.400 I mean, that's a right wing proposal which says, essentially, 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.640 there is no United States, kind of make everybody in 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.480 American port. Then you're doing away with the concept of 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.840 a nation state. And I don't think there's any country 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.920 in the world which believes in that. What right wing 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.000 people in this country would love is an open water policy, 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.560 bring in all kinds of people who work for two 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.679 or three dollars and no, that would be great for them. 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.200 I don't believe in that. Fornard Sanders, and it goes 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.800 on and on and on in that same vein that 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.880 it is a right wing Republican thing to want to 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.120 open the borders bring in all these this cheap labor. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.600 And if you do that, you have no country. There's 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.360 no sovereignty. What's the point of even having a country. Yeah, 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.320 that's the argument a lot of us are making on 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:27.480 the right through the whole Biden uh ridiculousness of the 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.000 biggest movement of human beings in world history. 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.440 Yeah, Bernie is consistent with Sesar Chavez and other you know, 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.360 labor leaders especially you said, no, we don't want millions 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:41.160 of people flooding in and cutting our bargaining ability by 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.640 flooding the market with you know, more laborers. That's the 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:46.440 last thing they want to make us all poorer. 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:47.280 Yeah. 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.560 Well, and Bernie understands also that if you, for instance, 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.720 I don't know, through the border open and millions of 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:55.120 people wash across all of a sudden, Americans are going 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.840 to say, no, we can't have a big welfare state 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.960 like Bernie Sanders wants socialism. In fact, we got to 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.280 cut the one we've got because we've got people coming 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.920 in from all over the globe to suck at the 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:13.120 delicious teat of the federal government. It happened though, and 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.760 already have executives having too much power. I've decided not 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.480 to enforce immigration law. Anybody wants to come into the 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.320 country can That's what Biden said. 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.160 Essentially, Wow, that's a heck of a back to back 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:30.720 Presidency's right there. Biden launches the biggest migration movement in 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:35.960 world history in peacetime, and then Trump reforms the entire 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:40.080 global economic order. Both individual decisions. That's something. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:45.600 Yeah, Yeah, it's kind of disturbing. Not kind of it's disturbing. 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.080 Congress could have stood up to either one of them, though, 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.080 Uh yes, I mean, we have a system for it 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:58.160 if it wants to do its thing. That's one of 0:15:58.200 --> 0:15:59.680 the problems with bipartisanship. 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:04.160 Die, I mean, if you know, Hunter Biden gets selected president, 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.320 how about that thought and at institutes, you know, some 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.320 sort of horrific eighty percent tax for all white people 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:16.120 or hookers or whatever, and you can't get a single 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.320 Democrat to cross the aisle to vote to you know, 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.560 limit his power or override it or whatever. I mean, 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.720 that's just not a healthy place to be. 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.960 What would Hunter Biden run on a baby mama and 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:31.840 every garage? Probably? Yeah, come line up every nose. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.200 Alicia Finley in the Wall Street Journal makes a pretty 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:41.680 interesting point though, that employers, especially manufacturers, can't find reliable, 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:46.120 conscientious workers who can pass a drug test, and so 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.360 we've simultaneously got millions. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:49.520 Of people flooding across the border. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:54.120 What we did anyway cutting the wages of low wage Americans, 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.200 but manufacturers can't get people to show up. 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.880 The drug test thing. It's all around marijuana. I don't 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:03.640 probably we got to figure that out. If it's going 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.800 to be legal in almost every state, you can't continue 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:11.600 to drug test for it. I don't think Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.040 There's been some speculation, partly because of that video that 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.280 was posted on truth Social, that there was some sort 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.640 of deliberate effort on your heart to have the market 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:24.320 sell off. 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:25.840 Can you talk about that? 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.359 There's such a But I do want to solve the 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.879 deficit problem that we have with China, with the European 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.560 Union and other nations, and they're going to have to 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.760 do that, And if they want to talk about that, 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.960 I'm open to talking. But otherwise why would I want 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:41.320 to talk? 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:46.520 Well, there could be short term pain. It's going to 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.280 be consumers who bear. 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.240 The costs are a terrible mistake. 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.160 They don't work. They will lead to higher prices. Remember 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:57.160 what Mama Gump. 0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:01.000 Said, stupid is a stupid does Let's don't. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.280 I just don't have a trade war. I heard some 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:07.400 Republicans in there. That's all republicans, jack, four of them. 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:13.520 I haven't heard anybody explain to me sufficiently what he's 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:18.400 talking about regarding the trade deficit we've got between countries. 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:24.399 Yeah, yeah, I've heard some really smart, reasonable people say 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.760 they don't get why he thinks it's always a bad thing. 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.800 It just happens. 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:32.720 I mean, you're gonna have countries where you have a 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.480 huge trade surplus, and we do actually quite a few, 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.600 And then you're gonna have countries that you just want 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.320 more of their stuff than they can buy from you. 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:44.000 As I've said before, if you're a big, wealthy country, 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.199 you're gonna buy more from small, poor countries than they 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:50.560 could conceivably buy from you. So you're gonna run a 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:54.959 trade deficit, and it's fine. He seems obsessed with it 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.399 in a weird way, don't. I don't get it. Honestly, anyway, 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:00.960 I thought this was interesting. Oh, in just a moment 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:03.040 or two, what the courts might say about all this 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:07.920 because it's on pretty shaky constitutional ground the tariff regime. 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:13.320 But I thought this just interesting. A good worker can 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.560 be hard to find these days. Blame government, which showers 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.560 benefits on able bodied people who don't work, while at 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.879 the same time subsidizing college degrees that don't lead to 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:24.040 productive employments. 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.320 Yeah, that's definitely going on. Great summary. 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:31.000 The result is millions of idle men and millions of 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.040 unfilled jobs, what an economist would call a dead weight 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:37.359 loss to society. I had a big study that we 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:41.480 touched on briefly, but and it was from NPR, interestingly enough, 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:47.040 about the many hundreds of thousands of people on disability 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:50.520 who aren't disabled. The plant just closed in their town 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.440 and it's easy enough to get disability that they went 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.359 ahead and did it. And they've got some candid quotes 0:19:56.400 --> 0:20:00.119 from people who like run those programs or from the corporations. Hey, 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.320 we're just hiding you folks because they're not listed as unemployed. 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:06.560 Is there anything that kind of likes it too? Is 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:08.959 there any way you'd get turned down from disability if 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.359 you claimed your back hurt because there's just no way 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:12.720 to prove your back, doesn't it. 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:18.119 Yeah, it's not effortless to get it, but it's easy anyway. 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.800 Forty percent of small business owners in March, forty percent 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:25.440 reported job openings they could not fill, with the share 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:29.960 in construction fifty six percent, No bueno. When was the 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:32.200 last time you passed a construction site and they were 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:39.800 not playing Mexican music? Never transportation fifty three percent they 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:45.760 can't fill their jobs. Manufacturing is forty seven percent. According 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:51.000 to last week's National Federation of Independent Business survey. Let's 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:53.920 see Labor Department's job openings and labor turnover survey tell 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.080 a similar story. There are twice as many job openings 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.959 in manufacturing than in the mid two thousands. 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.239 There's a shriff deployment. There's not a single twenty two 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.280 year old coming out of college with whatever degree that 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:06.600 wants any of those jobs you. 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:11.480 Just mentioned, right, labor force participation rate among working age 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:15.000 men is now five percent lower than in the early eighties. 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.280 As a result, there are about three point five million 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:20.480 fewer men between the ages of twenty five and fifty 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:24.240 four in the workplace even as the population has grown, 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.200 and one point three million between the ages of twenty 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:29.359 five and thirty four. Then there would have been were 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:30.600 it not for this decline. 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:32.320 Yeah, but if they're working, they wouldn't be able to 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:36.760 play the new Nintendo switch to. So where have all 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:37.920 the good working men gone? 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:41.240 Some are subsisting on government benefits or living off their parents. 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.600 About seventeen percent of working age men are on Medicaid, 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.000 seven and a half percent on food stamps, and six 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:50.639 point three percent on Social Security, many claiming disability payouts, 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:53.639 according to the Census Bureau. Many spend their days playing 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:55.280 video games and day trading. 0:21:56.359 --> 0:22:03.119 Day trading system is this? Friends say they're young? What 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.720 kind of system is this? Where I'm at work to 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:06.399 help pay for this? 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:10.760
