WEBVTT - Like A Bruise! 0:00:01.870 --> 0:00:05.729 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:05.769 --> 0:00:10.030 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.170 --> 0:00:23.020 Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. So 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:27.600 if this were the Armstrong and Getty show from 25 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:29.540 years ago, we've been doing this a very long time. 0:00:30.290 --> 0:00:31.910 Back when we took phone calls and it was all 0:00:31.980 --> 0:00:36.479 about setting the table, polarizing the issue, and then letting 0:00:36.500 --> 0:00:39.699 you callers battle it out. This would have been a 0:00:39.940 --> 0:00:43.159 great one right here. 0:00:43.190 --> 0:00:46.610 50-year-old Irene Miller was taken into custody. She's charged with 0:00:46.710 --> 0:00:49.870 multiple counts of child neglect after police say she left 0:00:49.909 --> 0:00:52.470 her four children home alone in Florida while she went 0:00:52.490 --> 0:00:55.410 to Las Vegas for a five-day work trip. The oldest 0:00:55.450 --> 0:00:59.720 child is 14, the youngest just nine. Police learned the 0:00:59.740 --> 0:01:02.280 kids were left alone when one called 911 to say 0:01:02.300 --> 0:01:05.140 the nine-year-old had dropped a dumbbell on his head. He 0:01:05.170 --> 0:01:08.770 was treated and released from the hospital. Miller told officers 0:01:08.830 --> 0:01:11.950 she'd hired a babysitter from Tampa, about 70 miles away 0:01:11.990 --> 0:01:14.530 from their Kissimmee home, to visit in the morning and 0:01:14.660 --> 0:01:16.680 after school, but not overnight. 0:01:16.980 --> 0:01:21.060 No, I hadn't heard those last details. Hey, Jay, long 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.640 time listener, first time caller. I think they ought to 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.670 take the kids away from that woman. That's just unbelievably selfish. 0:01:27.209 --> 0:01:28.830 Think of it, what if there was a fire or something? 0:01:28.850 --> 0:01:29.530 They could have died. 0:01:29.610 --> 0:01:33.250 Click. This is Brendan Carmichael. Not all of us are 0:01:33.350 --> 0:01:34.209 rich like you. 0:01:34.890 --> 0:01:36.069 We can't afford centers. 0:01:36.110 --> 0:01:36.810 We got to work. 0:01:37.290 --> 0:01:37.850 I hate you. 0:01:45.930 --> 0:01:50.090 See, this is why we don't take calls anymore. Anyway, 0:01:50.540 --> 0:01:54.040 I'm sorry. I lost my train of thought. The 14-year-olds 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:55.600 are old enough to take care of those kids. I 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:56.980 think it's fine. 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.820 One more phone call. This is Basil. Saddam Hussein is 0:01:59.860 --> 0:02:00.400 a monster. 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.940 That is unfortunate. 0:02:03.970 --> 0:02:06.410 That is for longtime local listeners. 0:02:06.630 --> 0:02:07.270 Oh, my God. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:14.040 I amused myself with that one. I hadn't paid attention 0:02:14.060 --> 0:02:14.579 to this story. 0:02:15.790 --> 0:02:16.250 That much. 0:02:16.930 --> 0:02:20.050 Five days is a long time. I know in the 0:02:20.070 --> 0:02:23.740 state of California, because I had to look into this 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.679 as a single parent with two kids. At what point 0:02:26.820 --> 0:02:29.079 are you allowed by law to leave your kids home alone? 0:02:29.900 --> 0:02:32.359 After the age of 11, it's parents' discretion in California. 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.210 I don't know what it is. 14 is definitely getting 0:02:36.250 --> 0:02:38.030 to the age where they can be home by themselves. 0:02:38.030 --> 0:02:41.890 14 to 9? And you had a sitter coming in 0:02:41.930 --> 0:02:47.060 the morning and the afternoon? I don't know. I'd have 0:02:47.070 --> 0:02:50.160 to know the kids. Again, in California, it's a judgment 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.900 call on whether you got a kid or kids that 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.739 are responsible enough to handle whatever situation. I don't know 0:02:56.860 --> 0:02:58.540 what all the sitter was doing when they came in 0:02:58.560 --> 0:02:59.669 the morning or in the afternoon. 0:03:00.290 --> 0:03:00.650 Right. 0:03:00.710 --> 0:03:02.650 I'd be a little nervous about the dark of night. 0:03:02.910 --> 0:03:05.389 It's a long time. Something goes wrong in the middle. 0:03:06.290 --> 0:03:06.770 Of the night. 0:03:06.770 --> 0:03:06.830 14. 0:03:06.810 --> 0:03:07.950 It depends on the 14-year-old. 0:03:08.610 --> 0:03:09.630 Right. Right. 0:03:10.910 --> 0:03:13.910 I know very well 14-year-olds would be perfectly capable of 0:03:13.970 --> 0:03:17.260 taking care of most situations. And 14-year-olds should never be 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:25.560 left alone for yet. Anyway, yeah, I wish we could 0:03:25.580 --> 0:03:27.200 have taken calls, all those great calls. 0:03:26.980 --> 0:03:28.850 That we missed out on. Oh, that would have been wonderful. 0:03:28.889 --> 0:03:35.770 Yeah, those were good times. Weren't they? So good that 0:03:35.790 --> 0:03:39.060 we stopped doing it a long time ago. This is 0:03:39.100 --> 0:03:41.980 an interesting story you may not have heard from the UN. 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:48.110 We'll give you the news breakdown. That's clip 60. We'll 0:03:48.130 --> 0:03:49.810 give you a news breakdown and then the full version 0:03:49.830 --> 0:03:50.930 of what actually happened there. 0:03:51.810 --> 0:03:54.310 A fiery turn on the floor of the United Nations 0:03:54.390 --> 0:03:55.470 General Assembly. 0:03:55.490 --> 0:03:57.180 Back up, Ambassador. 0:03:57.470 --> 0:03:58.160 Back away. 0:03:58.380 --> 0:03:59.300 This isn't Havana. 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.680 The latest spat between Cuba and Washington. As the US 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.900 ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, was speaking and detailing 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.650 alleged corruption by the Cuban government, Cuba's foreign minister and 0:04:09.690 --> 0:04:12.290 delegation advanced toward the podium. 0:04:12.670 --> 0:04:15.570 This individual needs to back away from this podium. He's 0:04:15.630 --> 0:04:18.670 not going to intimidate me in the United States of. 0:04:18.650 --> 0:04:21.469 America like he tries to intimidate political prisoners. 0:04:21.950 --> 0:04:28.310 The exchange quickly intensifying. Amid the shocking shouting match, the U.N. 0:04:28.350 --> 0:04:31.640 General Assembly president even called to suspend the meeting. 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.460 So, yeah, it seemed to be a walking to the 0:04:35.500 --> 0:04:37.940 podium like we're going to take over now. Like, you know, 0:04:38.060 --> 0:04:42.740 and Mike Walls, ambassador, is a former Green Beret. and 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.080 college boxing champion. Mike, he was not having that ass. 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.140 He was not having that ass, let alone the fact 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:49.280 that they're a bunch of communists. 0:04:49.620 --> 0:04:50.360 Way to go, Mike. 0:04:50.700 --> 0:04:53.310 So here's the long version of Mike Walls and what 0:04:53.330 --> 0:04:55.350 he said. Your ex would say, I know you don't 0:04:55.430 --> 0:04:59.150 like to hear this. This is America, my friend. This 0:04:59.250 --> 0:05:03.110 is the United Nations. This isn't your communist dictatorship. You 0:05:03.130 --> 0:05:07.270 cannot silence me or you cannot silence my colleagues. I 0:05:07.330 --> 0:05:09.909 hear you at the beginning of this session. 0:05:10.450 --> 0:05:10.750 Mr. 0:05:10.790 --> 0:05:13.730 President, Rule 71 is crystal clear. I'll read it for 0:05:13.810 --> 0:05:17.370 our colleagues here. It says, quote, a representative rising to 0:05:17.410 --> 0:05:21.390 a point of order may not speak on the substance 0:05:21.450 --> 0:05:24.220 of the matter. The reality is he doesn't like the 0:05:24.260 --> 0:05:27.380 substance of what he's hearing. He doesn't like the hard truths. 0:05:27.779 --> 0:05:30.700 And you can come and intimidate all you want. Excellencies, 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.120 I ask everybody to respectfully. 0:05:34.300 --> 0:05:34.440 Mr. 0:05:34.460 --> 0:05:37.970 President, this individual needs to back away from this podium. 0:05:38.170 --> 0:05:41.330 He's not going to intimidate me in the United States 0:05:41.350 --> 0:05:42.210 of America like. 0:05:42.150 --> 0:05:46.430 He tries to intimidate political prisoners. And I'll ask everybody 0:05:46.490 --> 0:05:48.510 to go back to their delegation. And I'm the representative 0:05:48.540 --> 0:05:50.180 of the United States of America. 0:05:50.260 --> 0:05:50.700 Back up. 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:51.000 Okay. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:53.620 Back up, Ambassador. 0:05:53.940 --> 0:05:54.640 Back away. 0:05:54.860 --> 0:05:58.080 This isn't Havana. I'm suspending the meeting. You're not going 0:05:58.100 --> 0:06:00.339 to intimidate me. I'm suspending this meeting. Do you understand 0:06:00.380 --> 0:06:01.200 who you're dealing with? 0:06:01.660 --> 0:06:02.840 This is America. 0:06:03.140 --> 0:06:03.599 Back up. 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.040 The rule is clear. 0:06:05.580 --> 0:06:09.620 This is the substance of the speech. There are no procedural... The. 0:06:09.140 --> 0:06:11.779 Meeting is suspended. Please sit down. 0:06:12.300 --> 0:06:16.000 Sit down. I wish that half-witted ferner who was interrupting 0:06:16.050 --> 0:06:18.500 him would have let him speak. The president trying to 0:06:18.550 --> 0:06:22.050 restore order. Way to go, Mike Waltz. Way to go, bud. 0:06:22.850 --> 0:06:26.190 Nice job. I will whoop your commie ass. That was 0:06:26.230 --> 0:06:28.710 the only thing he didn't say that he should have. 0:06:30.350 --> 0:06:33.120 Take a step back or get some red, white, and 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:39.060 blue ass whooping. All right? You're going to be red, white, black, 0:06:39.100 --> 0:06:42.740 and blue when I'm through with you, commie. Like a bruise. Hell, 0:06:42.820 --> 0:06:43.640 that's what I meant. 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:44.040 Yes. 0:06:44.660 --> 0:06:49.120 And particularly. That's right. Mike Waltz, if you need him 0:06:49.260 --> 0:06:51.320 for the win for America. 0:06:52.500 --> 0:06:55.390 Meanwhile, speaking of Cuba and the communist country, do we 0:06:55.430 --> 0:06:58.220 have our opening clip? So this is the woman. running 0:06:58.300 --> 0:07:02.190 for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat, asked about Cuba 0:07:02.230 --> 0:07:05.589 and her positive statements about Cuba there in Florida, shows 0:07:05.630 --> 0:07:08.250 you what she knows about Cuba. Do you consider that 0:07:08.490 --> 0:07:10.250 Cuba is a dictatorship? 0:07:10.650 --> 0:07:13.290 You know, that is what people have told me. I 0:07:13.330 --> 0:07:15.070 have never been to Cuba, and so I will have 0:07:15.090 --> 0:07:17.610 to take their word for it. I have talked to 0:07:17.690 --> 0:07:20.510 Cuban Americans here in the state of Florida who have 0:07:20.590 --> 0:07:23.050 family members that are still over in Cuba. And they 0:07:23.090 --> 0:07:25.550 told me that they are hurting even more now because 0:07:25.570 --> 0:07:26.670 of this failed embargo. 0:07:26.910 --> 0:07:29.570 She's going around making the argument that our embargo on 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.320 Cuba is, you know, bad for Cuba. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:39.420 She is a thieving, hypocritical, half-witted socialist. The fact that 0:07:39.500 --> 0:07:42.360 she is the nominee for the Senate of the United 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.890 States from the great state of Florida is incredibly disappointing. 0:07:46.110 --> 0:07:47.190 She doesn't know what Cuba is. 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.980 Well, she won't admit what Cuba is. Or she doesn't know. 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.020 I'm not sure which is worse. 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.670 I think she sounds like she doesn't actually know. I 0:07:55.700 --> 0:08:01.370 don't know. I haven't been there. But you live in Florida. 0:08:01.390 --> 0:08:05.210 For crying out loud. It's 80 miles off your coast. 0:08:05.430 --> 0:08:07.070 You haven't met enough Cubans to have a pretty good 0:08:07.110 --> 0:08:10.290 idea of what Cuba is all about? You never watched 0:08:10.370 --> 0:08:13.230 a movie or a documentary or anything about that? Remember, 0:08:13.250 --> 0:08:15.270 she ended up the nominee for the Democrats because she 0:08:15.310 --> 0:08:16.170 beat Vindman. 0:08:17.390 --> 0:08:21.820 Oh, that's right. Right, Vindman from Impeachment One. We're talking 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.260 about whether you should vote for a crappy candidate or 0:08:24.380 --> 0:08:27.020 send your party a message by not voting for them, 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.360 and then they'll give you better candidates. And we poo-pooed 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:34.570 that notion. We've successfully prosecuted it and put it to 0:08:34.610 --> 0:08:37.910 bed during hour three of the show, right at the 0:08:37.929 --> 0:08:39.580 beginning of the hour, as I recall. If you missed it, 0:08:39.590 --> 0:08:41.670 grab the podcast. You ought to be subscribed to Armstrong 0:08:41.710 --> 0:08:43.250 and Getty On Demand. You'll also get the One More 0:08:43.270 --> 0:08:49.580 Thing podcast automatically. Anyway, I would vote for... Virtually anybody 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.940 over her. The idea of that woman being in the 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.960 United States Senate is just awful. 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.829 It could be, depending on, she's behind by, I think, six, 0:09:04.850 --> 0:09:06.630 seven points. So she's probably not going to be a U.S. 0:09:06.650 --> 0:09:06.970 Senator. 0:09:07.750 --> 0:09:10.190 But as you know, we got several of them out 0:09:10.230 --> 0:09:14.950 there that they win. It's going to be some group 0:09:14.990 --> 0:09:18.020 of 100 there. In the U.S. Senate for. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:19.900 Either the. 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:23.179 I was about to say Chuck Schumer to wrangle or 0:09:23.220 --> 0:09:26.900 if the Republicans hang on. Won't be Chuck Schumer. I 0:09:26.940 --> 0:09:29.300 guess I should mention this. This might be some good 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:38.510 news for you. Mark Halperin. Who isn't in the predicting business. 0:09:38.550 --> 0:09:42.890 That's one of his main things that he. Doesn't do. 0:09:42.929 --> 0:09:45.370 He doesn't predict how things are going to turn out. 0:09:45.740 --> 0:09:46.050 And he. 0:09:46.750 --> 0:09:50.180 Definitely says he's not rooting for either side, but he 0:09:50.220 --> 0:09:55.000 said today in his show, raising the possibility that Democrat 0:09:55.100 --> 0:09:59.910 turnout could be dramatically different from the current midterm expectations. 0:10:00.010 --> 0:10:03.890 making the polls quite wrong. Despite tight races and narrow margins, 0:10:03.950 --> 0:10:07.630 Mark said his Republican sources remain confident they can ultimately 0:10:07.700 --> 0:10:11.440 secure a victory because they're not seeing a Democrat turnout 0:10:11.500 --> 0:10:12.980 that a lot of the pollsters are using. 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.160 Right. So I guess we'll see. Can I join in 0:10:17.220 --> 0:10:21.740 that chorus? I thought this was interesting. Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens, 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:29.500 who lost to Abdul El-Sayed, the Islamist, has not campaigned 0:10:29.580 --> 0:10:34.420 with him. She, quote unquote, endorsed him, but asked whether 0:10:34.460 --> 0:10:37.280 she is fully behind El-Sayed. She said, look, I'm on 0:10:37.300 --> 0:10:39.900 the Democratic ticket. I can't say I agree with everything 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.380 that's gone on. I'm looking to be on the team 0:10:42.420 --> 0:10:46.540 to support my next governor, Jocelyn Benson. Then when Dana 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.270 Bash pointed out that Stevens didn't mention Elsa Edna in 0:10:49.290 --> 0:10:51.910 her answer, Stevens said, well, look, I would just say 0:10:52.090 --> 0:10:54.110 you had to ask me if I'm still on the team. 0:10:54.450 --> 0:10:59.150 I'm on the team. That was her answer. Wow. There 0:10:59.390 --> 0:11:04.630 is a sizable contingent of just don't vote or I 0:11:04.770 --> 0:11:07.640 can't stand this guy so much. I can't vote for him. 0:11:07.650 --> 0:11:10.210 Maybe I won't turn out in Michigan. I can't wait 0:11:10.250 --> 0:11:13.550 to see the result. Although, again, if he were elected 0:11:13.570 --> 0:11:18.330 to the United States Senate, that would be when your 0:11:18.370 --> 0:11:21.449 doctor says, I need you to brace yourself. I've got 0:11:21.470 --> 0:11:22.929 some really bad news. I mean, that would be a 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.000 serious problem for the United States of America. 0:11:27.940 --> 0:11:30.480 All the pundits who I trust, to be honest about 0:11:30.500 --> 0:11:34.559 this sort of thing, feel that he definitely peaked like 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.360 a month ago. God, I hope they're right. And has 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:38.480 been sliding since then. 0:11:40.100 --> 0:11:40.700 I hope they're right. 0:11:40.740 --> 0:11:43.520 Certainly feels that way. Like I was talking about last week, 0:11:43.580 --> 0:11:48.300 it just seems like his act is worn on the whole. 0:11:49.540 --> 0:11:54.020 That tone, everybody, I've talked to my kids about that. 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.689 That tone of, I know everything and I'm smarter than you, 0:11:58.210 --> 0:12:01.550 only lasts for a little while before people just automatically 0:12:01.590 --> 0:12:03.010 reject it no matter what you're talking about. 0:12:03.330 --> 0:12:04.850 Yeah, it's impressive for a minute. 0:12:05.270 --> 0:12:05.569 Yeah. 0:12:06.150 --> 0:12:08.429 And then, hmm. But we'll see. 0:12:09.270 --> 0:12:09.449 Yeah. 0:12:09.820 --> 0:12:10.020 Yeah. 0:12:10.540 --> 0:12:16.600 Chimpanzees are thieves, but they steal a lot less from 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:21.040 their friends. What does that say about relationships and friendships 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:25.459 and primates and humans? And chimpanzees, thieves and bastards. 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.319 So Joe with the chip news, which you can always 0:12:27.340 --> 0:12:30.420 count on him for. Also, Houdini is having a moment again, 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:35.380 a hundred years this Saturday from his death with a 0:12:35.420 --> 0:12:37.330 couple of different events all along the way. 0:12:37.350 --> 0:12:37.670 Stay here. 0:12:39.190 --> 0:12:43.750 Armstrong and Getty. 0:12:43.770 --> 0:12:47.210 After 75,000 folds, if you'd fold this 50 times a day, 0:12:47.370 --> 0:12:51.390 that would be four years, a bit more than four years. 0:12:51.770 --> 0:12:54.860 Because many years ago on this channel, we did this 0:12:54.890 --> 0:12:58.380 experiment with a Samsung Flip 3 at first, and then 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:03.860 a Samsung Flip 5, and it survived more than 400,000 folds. 0:13:07.990 --> 0:13:09.330 Okay, that was a little hard to figure out what 0:13:09.350 --> 0:13:11.610 was going on there. Anyway, there's a tech guy. Apparently, 0:13:11.750 --> 0:13:14.290 some people have had their iPhone duos crack in the middle, 0:13:14.410 --> 0:13:16.910 which has been the worry about the folding phone since 0:13:16.990 --> 0:13:21.270 it first came out years ago. I had read that 0:13:21.530 --> 0:13:24.410 Apple had put a tremendous amount of engineering and time 0:13:24.470 --> 0:13:26.390 into making sure they wouldn't have that problem. So whether 0:13:26.450 --> 0:13:30.170 it's a, I mean, if you sell a gazillion phones, 0:13:30.230 --> 0:13:32.670 some of them are going to break. So whether it's 0:13:32.770 --> 0:13:34.740 just one of those deals or it's actual a flaw, 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.600 who knows? It'll take a while to figure that out. 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.260 He was saying it would last about four years. And 0:13:40.300 --> 0:13:42.740 so apparently the Samsungs will last a lot longer. Well, 0:13:42.780 --> 0:13:44.900 that guy's saying that, but that doesn't mean that's true. 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.800 So we'll see. Well, are you calling him a liar? 0:13:48.660 --> 0:13:51.040 You know, I was going to get to chimps, thieving chimps. 0:13:51.420 --> 0:13:53.179 Maybe we can squeeze it in the next segment. I 0:13:53.230 --> 0:13:56.429 had a weird flashback because that guy was talking, got 0:13:56.470 --> 0:13:58.150 a bit of an accent, which is fine. I'm sure 0:13:58.170 --> 0:14:00.350 he's a lovely fellow. He speaks English quite well. He's 0:14:00.370 --> 0:14:03.530 probably smarter than me. But when he said folds, it 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.040 sounded like falls. It sounded like falls. Oh, I thought 0:14:06.059 --> 0:14:10.340 he did say falls. No, I think it was folds, right? Yeah, 0:14:10.460 --> 0:14:13.040 and I had a flashback to the one calculus class 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.440 I took in college. where the guy, again, I'm sure 0:14:15.460 --> 0:14:17.520 he was a terrific fella, but he had enough of 0:14:17.580 --> 0:14:21.320 an Indian accent. I couldn't distinguish when he was saying X, 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:26.140 or H or A, because it all sounds accent to 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.470 the H, to the H, to the A, to the H, 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:29.960 to the A. And I'd be like, I don't know 0:14:29.980 --> 0:14:33.070 what freaking variable you're saying. And it made me insane. 0:14:33.090 --> 0:14:34.290 I finally dropped the class. 0:14:34.550 --> 0:14:38.310 I had the exact same experience, graduate level accounting class 0:14:38.470 --> 0:14:40.310 with a guy from, I don't know where he's from, 0:14:40.330 --> 0:14:42.670 but man, it's his accent. And as fast as he talked, 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.380 I could not follow him at all. 0:14:45.900 --> 0:14:46.840 I just couldn't understand. 0:14:46.860 --> 0:14:48.800 And within a couple of weeks, I thought, this isn't 0:14:48.820 --> 0:14:50.220 going to get better. I'm not going to all of 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.500 a sudden be able to understand what he's saying. And 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:53.540 I had to drop that class. 0:14:53.980 --> 0:14:56.780 It was really frustrating, too, because I'm not a math guy. 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:01.260 I was good at math and algebra and geometry. I 0:15:01.300 --> 0:15:03.750 really enjoyed. But getting into advanced math just blew my mind. 0:15:03.790 --> 0:15:05.450 My brain is made for it. So it was like 0:15:05.490 --> 0:15:09.170 a huge personal challenge for me. I'm going to take 0:15:09.250 --> 0:15:13.470 this on. But I couldn't understand the guy. Anyway, again, 0:15:13.510 --> 0:15:15.640 I'm sure he was a lovely guy, but So, Thief 0:15:15.660 --> 0:15:17.980 and Chimp's coming up in a moment or two. 0:15:18.060 --> 0:15:20.990 What do you do when you can't understand somebody? Because 0:15:21.010 --> 0:15:22.450 some people get really. 0:15:26.050 --> 0:15:29.090 React with great horror at the idea of you pointing 0:15:29.150 --> 0:15:31.910 out their accent. Like that's some sort of. 0:15:34.190 --> 0:15:37.380 You know, anti-immigrant something or other because you can't... because 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:38.540 they have an accent. 0:15:39.340 --> 0:15:39.480 And. 0:15:39.500 --> 0:15:43.640 a lot of times, I just can't understand you. 0:15:44.220 --> 0:15:44.340 Yeah. 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:44.460 Yeah. 0:15:45.090 --> 0:15:47.970 Because I am my mother's child, I always try to 0:15:48.350 --> 0:15:53.220 be courteous and kind, believe it or not. But yeah, 0:15:53.300 --> 0:15:55.080 I will say, I'm sorry, I didn't understand that. Can 0:15:55.100 --> 0:15:58.920 you repeat it? I'm sorry, I still don't understand what 0:15:58.980 --> 0:16:02.310 you are saying. I'll just tell them that. 0:16:02.370 --> 0:16:05.310 Yeah, I think I do roughly the same thing. But 0:16:05.350 --> 0:16:07.110 at some point, if it continues, I have to say, 0:16:08.030 --> 0:16:10.130 I can't understand with your accent what you're saying. I 0:16:10.150 --> 0:16:12.800 just can't. And I suppose a lot of people take 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.020 that as, and then I know definitely people that feel 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.370 like saying that is clearly all out of bounds. 0:16:19.750 --> 0:16:20.570 Well, they should shut up. 0:16:21.650 --> 0:16:23.810 I had this problem with the school. I had to 0:16:23.850 --> 0:16:25.530 call the school for some sort of thing. And the 0:16:25.590 --> 0:16:29.510 person in charge of this department was, I couldn't understand 0:16:29.550 --> 0:16:32.710 them at all. I just, I can't understand you. I'm sorry. 0:16:32.730 --> 0:16:35.030 I have no idea what you're saying. I have, and 0:16:35.090 --> 0:16:39.290 will again, occasionally speak German to people in Germany and 0:16:39.370 --> 0:16:42.720 Austria and And if they say, I'm sorry I didn't 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.320 get that, I don't think you bigot. You effing bigot. 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.240 I think, oh, my pronunciation isn't good enough. I need 0:16:49.260 --> 0:16:50.120 to work on that one. 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:50.360 Right. 0:16:50.380 --> 0:16:52.760 This isn't the language I grew up with. Right. 0:16:55.110 --> 0:16:56.270 Armstrong and Getty. 0:16:57.990 --> 0:17:00.490 Starbucks announced yesterday it will hold its annual Red Cup 0:17:00.530 --> 0:17:03.750 Day next month and will give customers a free reusable 0:17:03.810 --> 0:17:06.110 cup with the purchase of a holiday drink, which will 0:17:06.130 --> 0:17:09.270 come in handy because they won't give you the bathroom key. 0:17:10.410 --> 0:17:12.790 No freaking kidding. 0:17:13.290 --> 0:17:13.540 Oh, wow. 0:17:13.550 --> 0:17:14.780 A little commentary there. 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.360 God, I hate that. Hate that, hate that, hate that. 0:17:20.420 --> 0:17:22.239 Yeah, I'm tempted to go off on a rant, but 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:29.590 I won't. It is the bottom 1% that plagues us, friends. 0:17:29.970 --> 0:17:33.310 Not the top 1%. That's envy. I don't want them 0:17:33.330 --> 0:17:36.040 stealing from me. But that's not the problem in our 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.800 day-to-day lives, is it? It's the bottom 1%. 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:43.300 And we either turn this around in the next 10 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:47.000 years or then it's too late. Because as I said 0:17:47.060 --> 0:17:49.830 over and over again, everybody who remembers the olden times 0:17:49.850 --> 0:17:52.640 will be gone and dead. And all the younger people 0:17:52.660 --> 0:17:54.220 will think, well, of course you have to have the 0:17:54.260 --> 0:17:57.460 bathrooms locked up. I assume bathrooms have always been locked 0:17:57.580 --> 0:18:00.890 up at restaurants and coffee shops. And of course you 0:18:00.910 --> 0:18:03.090 have to have all the deodorant and toothpaste locked up. 0:18:03.170 --> 0:18:05.570 I assume it's always been that way. As opposed to, 0:18:05.790 --> 0:18:09.110 you know, we lived fine for many, many, many, many, many, 0:18:09.130 --> 0:18:12.170 many years with bathrooms where you just opened the door 0:18:12.190 --> 0:18:12.770 and walked in. 0:18:12.790 --> 0:18:14.449 It was fine everywhere. 0:18:14.470 --> 0:18:18.280 But we allowed civilization to fall apart. 0:18:20.340 --> 0:18:25.680 Yeah, we gave away common values in the name of diversity. Whoops. 0:18:26.420 --> 0:18:29.340 And lawsuits. That's why Starbucks does it. They had that 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.379 one problem with that dude in Philadelphia or whatever. You're 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.080 going to get sued. So we'll just lock them all 0:18:35.380 --> 0:18:37.040 and not have bathrooms. How about that? 0:18:38.660 --> 0:18:41.440 Yeah. Here's my foundation I'm going to start. Not to 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.980 educate little kids who need to learn to read. Not 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:48.139 to medicate the poor. Help out sub-Saharan Africa. No, my 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.600 foundation is going to be this. If anybody has a 0:18:51.780 --> 0:18:56.580 sane policy to keep the 1%, the bottom 1%, the 0:18:56.660 --> 0:18:59.760 hell out so the taxpaying, law-abiding people of the world 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.379 can enjoy their lives and they get sued for it, 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.090 we'll leap to your aid. We'll pay for your lawyers 0:19:05.770 --> 0:19:07.550 for keeping junkies out of your bathroom. 0:19:08.090 --> 0:19:10.550 No kidding. I had to do it. Did you ever 0:19:10.590 --> 0:19:12.149 do a time capsule thing in school? 0:19:13.350 --> 0:19:13.689 Yes. 0:19:13.790 --> 0:19:17.050 We did one. They put up a new flagpole or 0:19:17.070 --> 0:19:20.369 something like that anyway. And around the cement for the flagpole, 0:19:20.410 --> 0:19:22.189 they dug a hole and they put a time capsule 0:19:22.230 --> 0:19:24.210 in there. I think it was 1976 for the centennial. 0:19:24.230 --> 0:19:26.050 I think so, yeah. That was big, yeah. 0:19:26.090 --> 0:19:27.409 And so they're going to open it up in 2076, 0:19:27.390 --> 0:19:31.900 I guess. But if you do a time capsule now, 0:19:31.940 --> 0:19:34.550 it's got to be some sort of picture of a 0:19:34.630 --> 0:19:39.790 bathroom without a lock on it or a shelf without 0:19:39.810 --> 0:19:42.630 the stuff locked up for a time capsule to remind people. Yeah, 0:19:42.630 --> 0:19:44.119 the world used to be like this. 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:44.790 Wait a second. 0:19:44.790 --> 0:19:48.370 Didn't people just come in and steal everything? No, they didn't, actually, 0:19:48.369 --> 0:19:50.660 because it was against the law. and you'd get arrested. 0:19:50.740 --> 0:19:52.379 So you could just have stuff on the shelf. 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.400 It was crazy. Slight change of topic. You'd also have 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:58.300 a video of young people together in a group laughing 0:19:58.320 --> 0:19:59.440 and talking to each other. 0:19:59.820 --> 0:20:01.580 That's getting better with the cell phones out of schools, 0:20:01.619 --> 0:20:02.080 thank God. 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:02.820
