WEBVTT - You're Yelling At Science!

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:10.319
<v Speaker 1>George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>The media has brought bought into this industry, canard this

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 2>mythology that we're Jesus anymore autism because we're noticing it more,

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 2>we're better recognizing it, or there's been changing diagnostic criteria.

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 2>There is study after study in the scientific literature going

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:41.480
<v Speaker 2>back decades it says that's not true.

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>In fact, California.

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Legislator in twenty thirteen asked the Mind Institute of you

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 2>See Davis to look exactly at that topic. They said,

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>is it real or we justn't noticing it more? And

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 2>the Mind Institute came back and said, absolutely, this is

0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>a real epidemic.

0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>This is something we've never seen before.

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 3>It occurs to me something I was saying the other

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 3>day about this to researchers I know who work at

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 3>the Mind to Institute that he was quoting right there

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 3>where people somebody brought it up.

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>We were at dinner.

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.119
<v Speaker 3>The idea, well, they just they just it's always been around,

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 3>just noticing more and they got like angry at that suggestion.

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 3>You know, I just feel like intuitively, I mean, I've

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 3>known lots of families my whole life, as you have,

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.839
<v Speaker 3>and they didn't all have one kid who has clearly.

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Had a certain thing. Right. Yeah, Yeah, it's undeniable that

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 1>diagnosis and awareness have increased. But as I said the

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>other day, is that five percent of their eyes fifty

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>percent of it? How much? I agree completely? And if

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>there were a shadow of a doubt as to whether

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>it's on the increased autism and related problems, yeah, it's

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a humanitarian crisis that ought to be an enormously

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>high priority in my opinion. Anyway, a couple of things

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>on the way this hour. We'll try to squeez him

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 1>in this hour. If not, we'll you know, do one

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>in hour four. Partly because it's Friday and night. Just

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>don't feel like substance all day long. Just let's have

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>a little fun. Number One, Science has come up with

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the formula for having the perfect day.

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 3>Okay, perfect, I'm gonna write this down.

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah. You don't need to think about it,

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>you don't need to meditate, pray.

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 3>Science will tell you how to have the perfect day

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 3>before you go to work or before you go to

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 3>bed somewhere.

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, well it's funny they don't touch on that. And

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 1>also a list of some of them fairly recently declassified

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:47.919
<v Speaker 1>unbelievable operations the CIA has carried out through the years

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>just for fun. You've heard of Castro's exploding cigar plays.

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>That's just the beginning. All sorts of good stuff. But first,

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>before your dessert, perhaps a delicious marshmallow peep. So we're

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>discussing last hour. You you it's a delicious treat and

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>it's Easter Jack. Anyway, Oh, I.

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 3>Heard that tone of voice, like I'm not being reverent

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 3>toward the Lord and Savior if I don't like beeps.

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 3>That makes sense?

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Is that what you took from my tone? I'm so sorry. Anyway,

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to get through this just because I found

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 1>it so enlightening and interesting, and I think you will too.

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Talking about Medicaid just just briefly, and I came across

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>this headline, the six hundred billion dollar Medicaid maneuver on

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the chopping block. Republican budget cutters are are looking at

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>cutting this and this is interesting in itself, but it

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>also points out how so many of these gigantic government

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>expenditures are built to be exploited in ways we and

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the public never hear about, or the super smart people

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 1>figure out how to exploit them in ways that were

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>never intended. Here you go. An obscure set of state

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>taxes on hospitals and other health providers is in the

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>crosshairs of congressional budget cutters because it can lead to

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 1>higher federal spending on Medicaid. It's they're known as provider taxes.

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>States impose them on hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>that provide healthcare. The taxes boost the state's budget for

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>funding Medicaid, and then they spend it on Medicaid, which

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>in turn attracts more matching federal dollars to fund the program,

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>money that is ultimately directed back to the hospitals and clinics.

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>So it's like this perpetual motion taxation and grant machine

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>so that they can artificially inflate spending so they can

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>spend more and the hospitals and clinics get it back anyway.

0:04:54.920 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>But it's the taxpayers who end up paying for this loaded,

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, steroid fed spending.

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 3>As I've said many times, I would like to run

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 3>an experiment where I lived my life over and starting it.

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 3>Like the age of eighteen out of high school. I

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 3>just dedicated my life to trying to figure out how

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 3>to gain the system to get tax payer mooney.

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Because there's a lot of people that do that.

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 3>There's so much money sloshing around, there's so many opportunities

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 3>to figure out a way to get chunks of that.

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and putting aside except for this brief mention, the

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>fact that our entire healthcare system is built on lies

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and fraud, in that the compensation rates for doctors and

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>hospitals and all for Medicaid patients and Medicare patients and

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>are artificially crazy low because politically they don't want to

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>raise taxes enough to actually pay for this, So people

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 1>with private insurance or paying cash pay exorbitant rates for

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>healthcare to support the government scam. Anyway, that's enough of that.

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>The state governors and legislators despise this idea because hospitals

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>often ten to get back more in payments than they

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 1>shelled out for the original tax, which shows up their

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:10.159
<v Speaker 1>ability to care for Medicaid patients who normally they'd say,

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>we're not seeing these people and getting paid eleven cents

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>on the dollar to treat their broken lag or whatever.

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 1>And then the governor say, well, wait, wait, wait, how

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>about this backchannel of funds will tax you and then

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>give you back a dollar thirty for every dollar in

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>tax you pay. So anyway, not to you know, borrior,

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 1>make your head spin. But all of this stuff is

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>just so so corrupt. Where there's money slashing around, there

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>is corruption. But that's kind of just lead up to

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:44.280
<v Speaker 1>this story. The moral case for reforming medicare. This is

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>from the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal. Republicans

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>in Congress are they passed the budget outline last week.

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>That's an ongoing fight, will be for a long time.

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>We haven't talked much about it, but I wanted to

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 1>mention this. It's a once in a generation chance to

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 1>reform the government, but it will be squandered if the

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>GOP shrinks from difficult policy fights. Exhibit A is Medicaid,

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the fast growing entitlement that now spends more than eight

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty billion dollars a year while delivering subpar

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>healthcare for the poor. And the left in the press

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 1>are trying to intimidate the GOP from addressing the program's failures,

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>saying that they're trying to cut it and get rid

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 1>of it, and people will die in the streets. Now,

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>medic I'm paraphrasing.

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Medicaid is the one that studies have shown you have

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 3>worse outcomes than if you didn't get involved at all.

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, some studies have showed that. Yeah, But Republicans can

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.360
<v Speaker 1>win the medicaid argument if they understand how the program

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>has gone wrong and make the case, make their case

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in the moral terms it deserves. Here's here's the important part.

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>New research and pulling on Medicaid work requirements help to

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>clarify the stakes. More than six in ten able bodied

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 1>adults on Medicaid reported no earned income, according to report

0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 1>from the Foundation for Government Accountability of think tank, and

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>six and ten able bodied adults on Medicaid get no income.

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Voters tend to think of Medicaid as a safety net

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>for low income, pregnant women and disabled Americans, which is

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>how it started.

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's not been that for so long, as our

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 3>friend Craig has pointed out over and over again. It's

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 3>amazing its reputation lives on for its original intended purpose.

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 1>But Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act expanded the program into

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>a permanent titlement for childless men in prime working age. Wow.

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 1>Also worth mention a news seeking loser.

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.560
<v Speaker 3>I want this message to reach those of you who

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.559
<v Speaker 3>are able bodied and don't work and live off the government.

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 1>You.

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:44.719
<v Speaker 3>I despise you. You're pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourself.

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 3>All your friends should be ashamed of you. Nobody should

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 3>be friends with you.

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Wow. That's very judgmental.

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Damn right it is. We need more shame. You should

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 3>be ashamed of the fact that you live off people

0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 3>that go to work. Can I get memen shame or

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 3>a shame? Yes, thank you, thank you shame bell lady.

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 3>Also worth mentioning that Gaviy Newsom of cal Unicorny is

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 3>desperately trying to borrow billions of dollars to pay for

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 3>the state's callicade or whatever it's called, because he has

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 3>extended so many billions of dollars of care to illegal immigrants.

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Remember Joe Wilson when Barack Obama said this will not

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.960
<v Speaker 3>go to pay for illegal immigrants. Wilson said, you lie,

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 3>which may have been inappropriate and rude at the time.

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 1>What was true. He was absolutely right. Anyway, Democrats claim

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 1>those on Medicaid or working, you'll hear statistics like this

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>one from the Kaiser Family Foundation. Ninety two percent of

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>able bodied medicaid adults under age sixty five worked fuller,

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 1>part time, or were indisposed for a good reason, such

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>as caring for a relative or attending school. But that

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 1>figure is derived from government survey data, which are self

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>reported and rely on sample sizes as small as a

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 1>few dozen people FGA. The think tank I studied earlier,

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 1>by contrast, obtained administrative records from state medicaid agencies in

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty three states a far more complete picture of earnings

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>for nearly twenty one million able bodied adults on Medicaid.

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.440
<v Speaker 1>It found that millions are declining to work at all,

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.079
<v Speaker 1>which of course is terrible for the country economically, culturally,

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 1>in all sorts of ways, Democrats invariably paint this ordering

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Americans back to work is indentured servitude unfair. But the

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 1>GOP's proposed Medicaid work requirements back in twenty twenty three

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 1>were extremely modest twenty hours a week, which could include

0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:47.079
<v Speaker 1>training for a job or volunteering at your local library.

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Just do something or and Democrats portray that as some

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 1>sort of you were sending them into the salt mines

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 1>to be whipped.

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.559
<v Speaker 3>Right, And you probably only need to claim that you're

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 3>volunteering at the library, don't need to actually show up

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 3>and doing you volunteering.

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.959
<v Speaker 1>So and and Republicans, by the way, and their cruel

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>plan offered exemptions for nearly anyone with applausible reason, pregnant,

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 1>have children, caring for an incapacitated relative, You're exempt. Got

0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>a doctor's note saying you're unfit for exempt, you're enrolled

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 1>in school, getting help for drug or alcohol abuse, Okay,

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 1>you're exempt. That was the cruel Draconian.

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Are so much more socialists than people realize. It reminds

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 3>me of when I couldn't couldn't get any childcare. None

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 3>of these people that I would, you know, contact on

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.720
<v Speaker 3>these various websites to try to connect you with people

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 3>who want to be sitters. They would never never call

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 3>me back or show up or whatever. And somebody explained

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.079
<v Speaker 3>to me, how, no, no, no, no, that those sites are

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 3>for you can show that you're making the effort to

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.720
<v Speaker 3>look for a job so you can stay on your

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.679
<v Speaker 3>government benefits because they actually are going to.

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Take the job. Yeah, oh wow. So coming up Science

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 1>tells you how to have the perfect day and wacky

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>CIA schemes through his I guarantee you will be amused

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and amazed.

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.319
<v Speaker 3>And one of my favorite headlines I've seen recently, do

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:09.679
<v Speaker 3>you know child star Hailey Joe Osmond? He was a

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 3>kid from six cents who said I See dead people.

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 3>He had a rough week, good headline for the New

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:15.199
<v Speaker 3>York Post.

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Stay tuned.

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.719
<v Speaker 4>Thanks to massive new proposed budget cuts and Health and

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 4>Human Services, the FDA may have to stop routine inspections

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 4>at food facilities, so look out for exciting new products

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 4>like Tyson's tangy buffalo beaks and thumbs. Yeah enough sauce,

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 4>you'll never.

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 3>Know bees and thumb thumbs chicken thumbs. Do you know

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 3>who Hailey Joel Osmond Is?

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:48.559
<v Speaker 1>I'd heard name.

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 3>I knew was somebody when I saw the picture. Oh yeah,

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.640
<v Speaker 3>so he was the kid in the sixth cent Sense

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 3>with Bruce Willis. He's a little kid says I See

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 3>dead people. So he's a child star. Child stars have

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.839
<v Speaker 3>a history of their lives not going that well. It's

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.719
<v Speaker 3>a shocking to Joe and I and always has been

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.960
<v Speaker 3>that people continue to try to get their kids to

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 3>become stars, even though like ninety five percent of the

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.439
<v Speaker 3>time they end up in jailer dead like at a

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:13.079
<v Speaker 3>young age, no.

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Matter no matter what is offered, no matter how it

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 1>gratifies your ego or the child's don't don't don't, which

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.439
<v Speaker 1>I used to think was primarily the whole.

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 3>Being rich and famous things such a you know, a

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 3>swirl of ugliness to get caught into. That was before

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Harvey Weinstein, and you know, we realize the underbelly of Hollywood.

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's worse than that. I mean, you don't

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.839
<v Speaker 3>need to just throw money and fame at a kid

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 3>to have their lives be ruined.

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 1>They're surrounded by awful, awful people their whole lives.

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 3>They're going to abuse them.

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Add some attention and flattery to that and becoming addicted

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 1>to the attention with even without the molesters and all.

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's a terrible idea.

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 3>Haley Joel Osmond I see Dead People's now thirty seven

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:01.960
<v Speaker 3>years old, and he had a rough goal of it

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 3>at the ski slopes Mammoth Lakes where I've been in California.

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.079
<v Speaker 3>The other day This is not a good headline, Haley.

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Joel Osmond hurls Jewish slurs at cops, almost loses pants

0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 3>and arrest video.

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I hate to almost lose your pants while hurling, you know,

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>anti Semitic slurs at law enforcement.

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Almost loses pants?

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>How does that happen?

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 3>He called an officer an anti Semitic slur and a

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Nazi while he was being arrested for public intoxication, which

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 3>I kind of assumed that. Yeah, anti Semitic slurt and Nazi.

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I just I don't know.

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:39.320
<v Speaker 3>You gotta pick one.

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, confusing, really confusing. You get you to have a

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 1>theme and you gotta stick with you gotta build a narrative.

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 1>You're not building a narrative here, although Jews across America

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 1>have kind of getten used to this. You're the Nazis

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 1>further Israel.

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 3>So you had assumed the intoxication, Yeah, yeah, I assume

0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 3>that was a factor.

0:14:58.400 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 3>He was taken into police custody at Lakes, California, after

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 3>law enforcement received a call shortly before two pm for

0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 3>an alleged intoxicated person at Mammoth Mountain Resort. Now, I'm

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 3>guessing you have to be pretty darn intoxicated for somebody

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 3>called the cops on you at a ski resort because

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 3>there are quite a few people there that are drunk, uh,

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, late late morning, early afternoon at a.

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Indoor stoned or whatever. Yes, that was the plan. That's

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 1>why we're here, That's.

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Why I went.

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 3>In body Cambridge bodycam footage, which The New York Post

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 3>has looked at, Osmond called a police officer an antivis

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Semitic slur and a Nazi. As we mentioned, at one

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 3>point he shouted, I've been kidnapped by an effing Nazi.

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.840
<v Speaker 3>He also claimed he was what a night merce scenario.

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, not only have you been abducted against your will,

0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:48.960
<v Speaker 1>but it turns out to be a member of the

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 1>National Socialist Party. He's perpetrated the crime.

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 3>What a nightmare scenario in a beautiful afternoon. He also

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 3>claimed he was being attacked and accused officers of torturing me.

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 3>In the video, Ozma was her telling police you're effing

0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 3>with my life. Is also caught on camera saying officers,

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 3>you'll wish you treated me nicer, which is a.

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Version of do you know who I am? I see

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:11.800
<v Speaker 1>people which.

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Were big fans of you're gonna see a lawyer soon,

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 3>so you'll wish you treated me nicer. I'm a former

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 3>child star, don't you know?

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>That? Is what he's sort of saying.

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 3>I was decent to you, and you're effing you're an

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:25.560
<v Speaker 3>effing kike.

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 1>It looks like is what he said. Yes, yes, terrible,

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm an old timey Jewish s Yeah, hard to imagine

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 1>thinking that was appropriate in this scenario. And calling him

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a Nazi again, but again, if you're being abducted by

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>national socialists, you're gonna be rattled. You're gonna say things

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you don't mean.

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, He's apologized and is embarrassed by his behavior, and

0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 3>he is looking at going to rehab and all the

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 3>things that these sorts of people always do to try

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 3>to get out of trouble with very expensive lawyers.

0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Probably well, I wish him well. I hope he gets

0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>clean and has a long, happy life. Again, almost lost

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.160
<v Speaker 1>his pants, didn't lose his pants? Almost lost his pants?

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.399
<v Speaker 1>How to have the perfect day, according to Science and

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.639
<v Speaker 1>the CIA's Wild History. Next half hour, don't miss it,

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.640
<v Speaker 3>What's the proper thing to say? I want to say?

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.399
<v Speaker 3>The proper thing do you say happy good Friday.

0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I do not. I never have.

0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:25.080
<v Speaker 3>I think, even like very solid Christians say happy good Friday.

0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Don't. Oh yeah I don't. I'm just saying I don't

0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and take you know, quite in contrast to the completely phony.

0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:37.679
<v Speaker 1>If I'm offended, I'm right culture of universities. I've always

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>believed in Hey, if somebody means it as a kind

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.680
<v Speaker 1>and friendly greeting, take it that way. Sure of course, Yeah,

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:46.840
<v Speaker 1>it was the day that Jesus was tortured to death

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:51.160
<v Speaker 1>on the cross and killed. But yeah, if somebody says

0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.119
<v Speaker 1>happy good Friday, take it in the spirit it's intended.

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.879
<v Speaker 1>I just tend not to. But anyway, best wishes and

0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a most respectful good Friday and Easter weekend to all

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>of our friends. So how to have a perfect day

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.960
<v Speaker 1>according to science? I just I wanted to mention this

0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>real quickly. Had a conversation yesterday, actually had a couple

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 1>in a row last couple of days with a young man.

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Brief bit of background, My sweet wife and I are

0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 1>expanding our back patio, so we have some screened in

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.480
<v Speaker 1>place to hang out when the bugs are bad and

0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 1>it's we're on a gentle slope and so it's kind

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.760
<v Speaker 1>of high off the ground and it's supported by bricks.

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a brick house anyway, and so there's got to

0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.159
<v Speaker 1>be a pretty substantial foundation poard to support all the

0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 1>bricks and cinder blocks and stuff to build up to

0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the level of the patio anyway. So the foundation people

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.399
<v Speaker 1>have been in our backyard now for several days doing

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.879
<v Speaker 1>what they do, which includes digging rather a deep ditch

0:18:54.359 --> 0:19:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and then this incredibly complex web of rebar bent to

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 1>custom shapes and then cinder blocks in a particular pattern.

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:10.160
<v Speaker 1>And I've been asking the guys the foreman because oddly enough, Jack,

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.000
<v Speaker 1>a number of the fellows involved don't speak English, but uh,

0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the foreman Yeah, I know, it's crazy, but the foreman do.

0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 1>And French exactly. They're all Frenchmen. They're all working like crazy,

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and they're berets, smoking their smelly cigarettes. It's wonderful to watch.

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:32.120
<v Speaker 3>And they're tight striped shirts like Pablo exactly.

0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Anyway. But No, in talking to these guys, it is

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:39.920
<v Speaker 1>absolutely striking a how much they like what they do,

0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 1>and b because I'm fascinated by it, and I think

0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.719
<v Speaker 1>they like that they're proud of what they do. Absolutely

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:55.320
<v Speaker 1>they're very bright, very conscientious, and and and actually kind

0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 1>of charming too because they're so you know, enthusiastic about

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 1>what they do and want to do a good job

0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:03.679
<v Speaker 1>and pick your own path in life. And everybody needs to.

0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:07.119
<v Speaker 1>And I don't judge anybody who does. You know, what

0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:08.520
<v Speaker 1>they think is right, as long as you know you

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 1>don't hurt anybody. But the idea that those guys are

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:18.439
<v Speaker 1>somehow lesser than somebody with some dopey degree who's in

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a cubicle doing something that makes them miserable is practically

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:29.160
<v Speaker 1>obscene to me. To look down on those guys, Well,

0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:35.120
<v Speaker 1>it's obscene and it's just flat wrong. Even even if

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.119
<v Speaker 1>that's not your thing. Different people like different things. It's

0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.280
<v Speaker 1>funny you bring this up. I got angry listening to

0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:42.400
<v Speaker 1>a podcast here day. I was listening to Jonah Goldberg

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:44.879
<v Speaker 1>of The Dispatch. Maybe you see him on CNN now

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.439
<v Speaker 1>and then, but he grew up in New York, so

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:49.399
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have this point of view. But he was.

0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 3>He was talking about manufacturing jobs coming back and everything

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:58.399
<v Speaker 3>like that, and it became very clear to me, as

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:00.640
<v Speaker 3>a guy who's lived the way he's lived, he doesn't

0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 3>know there are lots of people who would hang themselves

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 3>if they had to live in New York City. I

0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:11.880
<v Speaker 3>know tons of people who would rather be dead than

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.240
<v Speaker 3>live the rest of their lives in a place like

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 3>New York City. And he just didn't seem to grasp it. Now,

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:19.639
<v Speaker 3>there are a lot of people that want to live

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:24.960
<v Speaker 3>in a rural, cold place and work outside. They prefer that,

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:30.359
<v Speaker 3>Like everybody I grew up with prefers that. And you know,

0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 3>a lot of your elite can't imagine that that's true,

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.199
<v Speaker 3>and so they think it's just horrible that somebody is

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 3>doing certain kind of jobs in certain kind of places.

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:43.679
<v Speaker 1>That's meaning to me. Yeah, yeah, So anyway, tip of

0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:45.879
<v Speaker 1>the cap to all you fellows and gals who do

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 1>that sort of thing. And you're certainly respected around here.

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>So this is really an interesting story.

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:54.480
<v Speaker 3>So much better for the country if we could break

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:56.800
<v Speaker 3>out of that, so much better for the country.

0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The whole university mill of.

0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 3>And it gets more expensive, and then the kids come

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 3>out and they don't have anything to do anyway, and.

0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Just the whole thing it's like a scam designed to

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 1>make zillions of dollars. Huh. Anyway, and again the judgment

0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:16.199
<v Speaker 1>of good, hardworking people is what makes me angry anyway.

0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:19.919
<v Speaker 1>Ah so, how to have the perfect day? How what

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 1>if you could engineer the perfect day, not by luck

0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:27.960
<v Speaker 1>or with crystals, but actual science. That's exactly right. The

0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 1>University of British Columbia analyzed data from the American Time

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Use Survey, which recorded how thousands of people spent their

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.520
<v Speaker 1>time across more than one hundred activities. By comparing these

0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:42.440
<v Speaker 1>patterns with whether participants rated their day is better than typical,

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:45.240
<v Speaker 1>they were able to pinpoint the building blocks of an

0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:46.560
<v Speaker 1>exceptionally good day.

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:52.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay, now we're searching the I'm guessing most people are

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 3>like me. They're thinking right now, what would be my

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:59.000
<v Speaker 3>perfect day.

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:03.800
<v Speaker 1>This is not some sort of mountaintop. I'm with a

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 1>guru in a Paul sipping Margarita's and I have sex

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 1>with a supermodel. It's not that sort of thing. It's

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a formula for having a great day or the BD

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the best day ever. And I'm gonna get to the

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:18.879
<v Speaker 1>end of this and you're gonna yell at me saying

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I can't don't have time for that. You're yelling at science.

0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I represent science for the next two minutes.

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Are you gonna yell at science.

0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Right exactly, that would make you a maniac. Here it

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:34.560
<v Speaker 1>is the best day ever. And we will repost this

0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:38.680
<v Speaker 1>under hot links at armstrong and giddy dot com today

0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 1>so you can find it. Six hours with family plus

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:49.639
<v Speaker 1>two hours with friends, one and a half hours of

0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 1>extra socializing. Wow, so you start? Would you like to

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.600
<v Speaker 1>start yelling? Now? This is a lot of time with

0:23:56.680 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 1>other people? Keeping in mind these things can overlap. Two

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 1>hours of exercise to all it physical physical activity, one

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:12.200
<v Speaker 1>hour of eating and drinking, and less than six hours

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 1>of work, indulging in only one hour of screen time,

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:22.200
<v Speaker 1>and at most of fifteen minute commute.

0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 3>That is happiness right there, the commute, I buy.

0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 3>First of all, there aren't very many people who live

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 3>a day like that, right yeah, And just the exercise alone,

0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:39.760
<v Speaker 3>there are very many people who exercise.

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Two hours a day. Sure again, you know, I think

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:44.760
<v Speaker 1>they would include taking a walk with one of the

0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:49.159
<v Speaker 1>fforementioned friends or family members, that sort of thing. Catchyard.

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:51.479
<v Speaker 3>I'm more of a loner than the average person, so

0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:53.000
<v Speaker 3>that's too much time.

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:55.360
<v Speaker 1>With other people for me. But that doesn't mean that's right.

0:24:56.240 --> 0:24:59.000
<v Speaker 1>And the gall wrote the follow up article to this

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:02.560
<v Speaker 1>is a single gas without family in her city, and

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:05.520
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, obviously spending six hours of family, it's going

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:07.320
<v Speaker 1>to be difficult. But you know, if you boiled it

0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:08.760
<v Speaker 1>down and again, we'll post this so you can look

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:14.680
<v Speaker 1>at it again, it's about Pee Paul in the person.

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. I easily spend six

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:21.040
<v Speaker 3>hours with family every day, just the way my life

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:26.119
<v Speaker 3>is structured. So I'm thinking it would be cool if

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:29.199
<v Speaker 3>like a fit bit or an Apple Watch or something

0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 3>like that could give you, at the end of the

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:32.480
<v Speaker 3>day how you spent your day, as opposed to just

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:36.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, steps and an average heart rate or whatever. I'll

0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 3>bet it'd be pretty depressing if you got to the

0:25:38.560 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 3>end of like a month, do a whole month, and

0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:43.919
<v Speaker 3>like you spent an average of two hours a day

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 3>staring at your phone, you spent an hour watching TV

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:50.199
<v Speaker 3>that you weren't really that interested in, a sporting of

0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:51.960
<v Speaker 3>it you don't care about, or a TV show you

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:54.679
<v Speaker 3>don't even really like, you spent this many hours in

0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:57.639
<v Speaker 3>your car and traffic, you spent this many hours you

0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 3>know whatever. I'll bet it'd be pretty damn depressed.

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, the readout on me would be you

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:07.040
<v Speaker 1>spent X number of hours trying to motivate yourself to

0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:10.919
<v Speaker 1>do the things you really care about, right, which is sad.

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:14.359
<v Speaker 1>I remember one of the best things you've ever brought us,

0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it was you brought us this is the

0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:20.639
<v Speaker 1>idea that your priorities are what you do, not what

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you say they are. That's a good one. Yeah. Ooh, sobering,

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:27.679
<v Speaker 1>and it's Friday. I don't want to be sober. So

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 1>coming up unbelievable operations the CIA actually carried out since

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 1>its birth.

0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:41.159
<v Speaker 3>You spent four hours last month trying to get the

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 3>password to work that sort of thing.

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:49.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh, very depressed. Yeah, it's an angering and maybe, but

0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:54.160
<v Speaker 1>honestly it might make you reorder your life absolutely absolutely. Yeah,

0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:54.800
<v Speaker 1>that's good stuff.

0:26:54.840 --> 0:26:57.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay, how about you? What's your perfect day? Text line

0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 3>four one five, two nine five KFTC. Take on some

0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:05.199
<v Speaker 3>of your texts, son, what would be the perfect day?

0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:08.199
<v Speaker 3>Joe just ran down scientifically what the perfect day is

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:11.080
<v Speaker 3>and maybe we'll talk about that in our four. So

0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:14.360
<v Speaker 3>our text line four one, five, two nine five KFTC.

0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:16.920
<v Speaker 3>If you don't get our four, get the podcast Armstrong

0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:20.920
<v Speaker 3>and Getty on demand. I had maybe my least favorite

0:27:21.000 --> 0:27:23.120
<v Speaker 3>thing that can happen in any given day. Last night

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 3>is when you can't stop coughing and you're trying to

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 3>go to sleep, and you just got that never ending

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 3>like tickle on the back of your throat, just like

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:34.200
<v Speaker 3>you just feel like one more cough and you'll be done.

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:37.720
<v Speaker 3>But you just and it lasted to like two am miserable.

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh I hate that. You gotta have that that in medicine.

0:27:40.800 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I recommended to you that the has a cough suppressant

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:47.000
<v Speaker 1>in it. The only way I'd survived those things. Anyway,

0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I can't I can never remember the name of it anyway,

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 1>So this is absolutely crazy. Some of this stuff is

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:56.200
<v Speaker 1>fairly recently declassified. Some of it's been known for a while,

0:27:56.240 --> 0:27:59.920
<v Speaker 1>but it's examples of some of the CIA's most audation

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:06.119
<v Speaker 1>missions since it was formed in the twentieth century, in

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:09.199
<v Speaker 1>the fifties in particular, and you may have heard some

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of these. Some of them are new. This. You know,

0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:16.480
<v Speaker 1>you don't start the show with the show stopper, but this,

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:19.159
<v Speaker 1>this is probably better off as the punchline. In the

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:24.280
<v Speaker 1>nineteen fifties, the CIA dropped millions of anti communist pamphlets

0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:27.480
<v Speaker 1>from weather balloons flying over the Soviet controlled part of Europe,

0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:31.040
<v Speaker 1>but there was an idea that they worked to develop.

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:34.679
<v Speaker 1>They drew up a plan to also have packets of

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 1>extra large condoms dropped on Communist nations, but the extra

0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:45.680
<v Speaker 1>large condoms would be labeled small or medium. The strategy

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:48.840
<v Speaker 1>was to lower the morale of male citizens by suggesting

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:53.440
<v Speaker 1>that they were physically inferior to their well endowed Western counterpart.

0:28:53.560 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 3>This is not true. Those are somebody's idea and we

0:28:56.880 --> 0:29:00.479
<v Speaker 3>actually did it. No, it never came to fruition, but

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 3>it was game planned out.

0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 1>There are records.

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, wow, that seems dumb.

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I wish I had somehow found my way into that

0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:18.520
<v Speaker 1>line of work, dreaming up ridiculous plots for the CIA

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:21.920
<v Speaker 1>to consider. How about this one, much more recent, The

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:25.560
<v Speaker 1>CIA once hatched a plan to make an Osama Bin

0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 1>laden action figure to distribute to children in the Middle East.

0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 1>But here's the deal. When the action figure was exposed

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>to the sun, the face would peel off to reveal

0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:46.360
<v Speaker 1>a demon like character with red skin, green eyes, and

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 1>black markings, who accidentally bears an uncanny resemblance to Star

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Wars character Darth Maul, which is neither here nor there.

0:29:55.200 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>And they actually made several prototypes before it was reject

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:02.800
<v Speaker 1>did uh you know, to be implemented.

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:07.720
<v Speaker 3>So you're playing with your Osama bin Laden Kendall. You're

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 3>out in the sun and all of a sudden he

0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:12.480
<v Speaker 3>looks like a red skull from the Avengers movies.

0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Exactly. Yeah, and it freaks you out and you think

0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:18.320
<v Speaker 1>he's the devil, and you do something and then you're.

0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:21.240
<v Speaker 3>Up with invading Iraq or something something.

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 1>That's probably where the plant the plan went to side

0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:28.880
<v Speaker 1>base with. What then, Jim, what are the kids going

0:30:28.960 --> 0:30:29.240
<v Speaker 1>to do that?

0:30:29.440 --> 0:30:32.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to stay Osamas like us, play it out

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 3>for me here, and what happens that?

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, they like think Osama's the devil? Okay,

0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:44.960
<v Speaker 1>all right, so they actually created three they think three

0:30:45.120 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 1>individual action figures prototypes. Oh what, I'd love to have

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:56.120
<v Speaker 1>one of those. Yeah. Yeah, And honestly, it when his

0:30:56.200 --> 0:30:58.120
<v Speaker 1>face melts off. I'm looking at the picture right now.

0:30:58.160 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 1>It it pretty much just he looks like he's in

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:02.560
<v Speaker 1>some sort of death metal band or something like that.

0:31:02.640 --> 0:31:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how the average you know, I don't

0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:08.400
<v Speaker 1>know Iraqi kid would take that. Here, here's another good one.

0:31:08.560 --> 0:31:13.120
<v Speaker 1>We're back in between the sheets. From nineteen forty five

0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:16.480
<v Speaker 1>till approximately well sometime in the seventies, the CIA ran

0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:21.440
<v Speaker 1>covert operations targeting foreign leaders who were either openly with

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the Communists or leaning that way. There have been various viruses,

0:31:26.520 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 1>exploding cigars, other spry thriller type antics. President Akamed Sukarno

0:31:32.520 --> 0:31:35.400
<v Speaker 1>of Indonesia accused the US of trying to destroy him

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:39.920
<v Speaker 1>for a sympathy toward Communism with a CIA produced porno

0:31:40.360 --> 0:31:45.280
<v Speaker 1>film that was referred to as Happy Days, which purported

0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to show Sakarno in this is a quote ecstatic sexual

0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 1>congress with a woman, although the person involved was actually

0:31:51.920 --> 0:31:57.440
<v Speaker 1>an American performer in a mask. And as I read this,

0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I thought, what I bet everybody's thinking right now, How

0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 1>easy would that be to do right now? With Ai?

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:08.320
<v Speaker 1>It's effortless. Yeah. The CIA's plan was to circulate film

0:32:08.320 --> 0:32:12.440
<v Speaker 1>pretending it had been secretly made by the KGB in

0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:14.920
<v Speaker 1>the course of a visit by Sukarno to the Soviet Union.

0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Like the other stuff, I don't think it was implemented. Oh,

0:32:21.040 --> 0:32:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the plan backfired. So Kara was actually impressed with how

0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:27.520
<v Speaker 1>he was depicted in the film because it showed him

0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:32.200
<v Speaker 1>leaving his Russian girl partner a glow with fulfillment is

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the quote. And he reportedly ordered this distribution throughout Indonesia.

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Because it made him look good.

0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha, Yeah, yeah, all right, we have time for a

0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:44.800
<v Speaker 1>couple more. I like this one, if only because it's

0:32:44.800 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 1>a great name for a band. Remote controlled dogs. The

0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 1>CIA created remote control dogs by operating on their brains

0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:56.000
<v Speaker 1>during a bizarre nineteen sixty three mind control experiment. According

0:32:56.000 --> 0:33:00.040
<v Speaker 1>to recently declassified documents, researchers implanted a device in I

0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:02.800
<v Speaker 1>had six dogs skulls and used a remote control to

0:33:02.840 --> 0:33:06.120
<v Speaker 1>guide them through an open field. Oh wow, the pooches

0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:09.240
<v Speaker 1>could be made to run, turn, and stop for real

0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:12.400
<v Speaker 1>as the scientists, yeah, zap the reward centers of their

0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:15.240
<v Speaker 1>brains with electrical currents. According to CIA papers published in

0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:19.560
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixty five, I'm actually mildly surprised that we had

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:22.240
<v Speaker 1>that sort of capability to that extent in nineteen sixty five.

0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it did not do the dogs any good,

0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>but quote. The specific game of the research program was

0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:30.400
<v Speaker 1>to examine the feasibility of controlling the behavior of a

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:32.760
<v Speaker 1>dog in an open field by means of remotely stimulated

0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:36.720
<v Speaker 1>electrical stimulation, et cetera. They eventually abandoned those experiments.

0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to torture dogs, but some of these

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:40.520
<v Speaker 3>it'd be pretty fun to have that be your job,

0:33:40.560 --> 0:33:43.720
<v Speaker 3>coming up with wacky ideas and putting together protects and whatnot.

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, Now you've probably heard about the CIA's brainwashing

0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 1>experiments during the fifties and sixties, experimenting with techniques designed

0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:57.800
<v Speaker 1>to make a person kill someone then have no recollection afterward.

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Codinated mk ULTRA, the program involved some one hundred and

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:06.800
<v Speaker 1>forty nine separate experiments, many on unwitting Americans who had

0:34:06.840 --> 0:34:10.520
<v Speaker 1>not consented to being guinea pigs, including a Kentucky mental

0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:13.440
<v Speaker 1>patient who was dosed with LSD for one hundred and

0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:20.360
<v Speaker 1>seventy nine days straight. Wow. That's horrible, utterly, utterly unforgivable.

0:34:21.800 --> 0:34:25.280
<v Speaker 1>It was officially launched this program to develop better interrogation techniques,

0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:27.480
<v Speaker 1>as well as to explore the possibility of creating a

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:33.400
<v Speaker 1>programmable assassin. Let's see. Many of the documents pertaining to

0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 1>this mission mk ULTRA were destroyed in nineteen seventy three

0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:39.919
<v Speaker 1>on the CIA's order. Some survived and were revealed later

0:34:40.040 --> 0:34:40.880
<v Speaker 1>that decade.

0:34:41.200 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 3>That was leading up to the Church Commission. That's what

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:46.360
<v Speaker 3>they're trying to avoid there. If you know anything about that,

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:46.920
<v Speaker 3>google it.

0:34:47.960 --> 0:34:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Yikes. Yeah, And they go into a bunch of detail

0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:55.799
<v Speaker 1>on that one and experimentations with psychics and that.

0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 3>Flat out human guinea pigs. You're using human guinea pigs

0:34:58.640 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 3>against their will.

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yes, that's exactly what it was.

0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that is something I don't have to.

0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Really ended with the condoms, and not that this thing,

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the super giant condoms to make them.

0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:15.279
<v Speaker 3>I haven't a schmoll schwunstucka compared to the American

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm so depressed right Therefore, I'm gonna fund Armstrong and
