1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm strong

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: and Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty. Crisis situations like this,

4
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: people tend to show you who they really are and

5
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: who the elite of Washington dc R is.

6
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: These partners, Washington insiders, who made sure in a life

7
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: or this situation to grab the things most dear to them.

8
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: The bottle service.

9
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: What if only, if only I had more time, I

10
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: could have saved the rose.

11
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: That's a John Stewart from last night on the Daily Show.

12
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: We got another bit of his comedy styling.

13
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: Of course, there was this guy. Check this video out

14
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: the last side of your screen.

15
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 4: This man, creative artist agent super agent Michael Glance has

16
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 4: gone viral for aiding food casually as people are crouched

17
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 4: down after this shooting at the White House. Correspond his dinner.

18
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: Excuse me, excuse me?

19
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: Waited when youg done incapacitating the assassin.

20
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: I would love some more ranch dressing. I'd be a doll.

21
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 4: If you could to refill some lady took my wine.

22
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: If you could.

23
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: Did we mention that yesterday the guy's explanation was he

24
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: has a bad back, and if you'd gotten down on

25
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: the floor, you wouldn't have been able to get back up.

26
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: Since I have to sit up here, I might as

27
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: well eat my food. Oh that's funny. I hadn't heard that.

28
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: I heard him say, Look, I'm a New Yorker. I

29
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: hear like crap and sirens and gunshots all the time. Yeah,

30
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: I've I don't react to noise as much, just because

31
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: there's so many noises that go on all the time

32
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: with construction and all that sort of stuff. So I

33
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: would have been closer to where Trump was than Malaney

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: with the wide eyed oh my god, what was that?

35
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: Just there's always crashes and crap going on when you're

36
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: in a crowd.

37
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: To that point. Susie Weiss, who also works at the

38
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: Free Press, co founded it with her sister. Barry was

39
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: there at the dinner and she wrote an absolutely great piece.

40
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: Here's the always the preamble and the fact that I

41
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: have to issue this, you know, preamble or disclaimer, just

42
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: shows how idiotic are conversations in America have become. The

43
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: conversations that believe, for instance, to be pro woman, you

44
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: must be anti man or. To be pro little girls,

45
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: you must be anti little boys. And there behavior it

46
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: is so evil and stupid. I can hardly talk about

47
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: it without getting pissed off. But Susie Wise, who was

48
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: there in the midst of the chaos and the gunshots

49
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: and the rest of it. The title of her article

50
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: is my takeaway from the White House Correspondence Dinner Dude's Rock,

51
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: and she describes how she was sitting with Elliot Ackerman,

52
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: the author and former Special Forces Guay.

53
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: That'd be a good guy to be sitting next to

54
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: if she starts. Yeah, but there's a lot more to it.

55
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: And they were talking about how grand the event was,

56
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: and they're having the conversation about when you became a dad,

57
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: did you go with Roman Empire World War Two? And

58
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: he said, oh, both, And then he told her a

59
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: story about Roman heroes coming back from war, how they

60
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: were celebrated and there would be chariots and parades and stuff,

61
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: but always a slave whispering in his ear over and

62
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: over again, sick transit Gloria, sick transit Gloria, which means roughly,

63
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: glory is fleeting. And then not one minute later, after

64
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: loud bangs sounded right outside the doors where we were

65
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: seated in the back of the room. Elliott was behind

66
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: me and his wife. We were huddled under the table,

67
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: clutching hands, whispering to each other about their friends and

68
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: where were they and do you have her? Elliott calmly

69
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: and quietly narraated and narrated what was going on. Okay,

70
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: now they're taking the administration officials out of the room.

71
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: Scott Besent is going to come around us right now,

72
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: he said, steadily, it's okay, it's okay. And one of

73
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: the other husbands kept standing up, and his wife kept saying,

74
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: get your head down. And then Susie writes, when I

75
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: got up soon I was shuffled to the front of

76
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: the room to get my sister by a security guard.

77
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. Everyone was reeling. But the men were

78
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: also another thing. They were activated. And I'm not talking

79
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: here about the obvious heroes of the Evening Law Enforcement

80
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: Secret Service, others with guns that they're ready, blah blah blah.

81
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: They acted nobly, but they weren't the only ones. The

82
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: lobbyist David Urban was nearly glowing telling us how we

83
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,799
Speaker 1: went to West Point served in the hundred and first,

84
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: and that he simply wasn't about to let anything bad

85
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: happen to us. I believed him, as did the other

86
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: women there. Aaron McLain who was caught on camera during

87
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: the pandemonium, looking about as shaken as a person who

88
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: really couldn't decide if they wanted chicken or fish, was

89
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: talking protocols, perimeters and numbers with these How many seconds

90
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: did it take for security to get Trump out of

91
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,119
Speaker 1: the building into the beast? How many yards away from

92
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: was the shooter from the doors? How long will it

93
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: take to figure out exactly what happened? Many of the

94
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: men had hands on hips, surveying the room and counting tables,

95
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: doors and exits, nodding along to a distinctly male tune.

96
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: Behind their eyes you could glimpse the multiplication of tables

97
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: for people by table division by minutes, then seconds, accounting

98
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: for escalator bottlenecks. Mclainan was a marine and among many

99
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: veterans in the room for whom it seemed a primal

100
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: stopwatch had been started. The second they saw literally that

101
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: the big guns had come out. Immediately they became situationally aware.

102
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: And she goes on describing many men's reactions, some veterans,

103
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: some not, and how very very different. It was then

104
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: host of the women's as it should be, because men

105
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: and women are very very different. The way we're made

106
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: and the two in combination is what makes the world

107
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: wonderful and go around.

108
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 2: Makes sex better. Gender is a construct, in.

109
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: My opinion, it does. Yeah, that's stupid and what's more,

110
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: utterly incorrect, utterly incorrect and provably so. Yeah. Yeah, many

111
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: actual veterans, not to mention, veteran journalists dude covered wars

112
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: sprung into action, whether pushing tushes under seats, recording what

113
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: was happening, or simply creating a sense with their mean

114
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: that things were totally under control. I lost count of

115
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: the number of times I heard about vehicles coming and going,

116
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: the security minded man's term of endearment for cars, et cetera,

117
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: et cetera. That's pretty interesting, not surprising. Yeah.

118
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, that Elliott akerm in the book

119
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: The Fifth Act, one of my favorite nonfiction books I've

120
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: ever read about war, maybe my favorite one I've ever

121
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 2: read about war, and couldn't recommend it more highly. Yeah,

122
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: I'd never thought about the people in the crowd. You

123
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: would have, you know, whether it's Pete Hegseeth or Elliot

124
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: Ackerman or who knows a whole bunch of names that

125
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: I probably don't know. If it had had turned into

126
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: a real battle of some port sort, you had a

127
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: lot of guys there who've had a lot of experience

128
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: with that sort of thing, and then obviously all the

129
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: Secret Service dudes.

130
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, But her greater point, I think is a

131
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: good one. Sure, I've probably made it. But and Jack,

132
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: I know you can relate to this having had threats

133
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: to your family, like direct violent threats, and it's been

134
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: a long time since anything ugly like this happened to me.

135
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: But again, and most of the women listening this show

136
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: would never denigrate masculinity. They don't use the term toxic masculinity.

137
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: They understand that some men are abusive and terrible, but

138
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: masculinity is not the issue.

139
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: All the women I know say where did it go?

140
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: If they say anything about it at all.

141
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I think any of us who have ever

142
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: had somebody we love to protect when things get ugly,

143
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: and it's not a choice. I don't even know that

144
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: you'd call it courage per se, right exactly. It's as

145
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: instinctual as exhaling. After inhaling, you react with not hiding,

146
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: but with what's happening and what needs to be done. Yeah,

147
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, it is not a choice.

148
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: It's a Humans that reacted that way survive and get

149
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: to have offspring, and humans that don't react that way

150
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: don't survive and get that offspring.

151
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: And so it's just a genetic thing. Yeah, well said.

152
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: So anyway, good for you Susie Weiss writing that piece.

153
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: It takes men and women to make the ideal world,

154
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: and to denigrate one sex to elevate the others is

155
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: the height of ugliness and stupidity. And if you do that,

156
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: I hate you. That's hate speech. Ah.

157
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to I'm trying to decide whether I'm

158
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: my goal is to not get arrested at a hospital

159
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: when I refuse to leave the room.

160
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: That's a low bar, but a good goal, ye, given the.

161
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 2: Circumstance since the and it's fairly new thing in California,

162
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: and I don't know how much of the rest of

163
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: the country where a lot of y'all live, where this

164
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: is true, where if you take your kid to the doctor,

165
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: and your kids over the age of twelve, it's the

166
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 2: kid and the doctor that are in charge you wait outside. No,

167
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: Now do I get arrested if I push that, or

168
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: what happens there? Or do I want to be the

169
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: rosa parks of this? I actually said that to a

170
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: lawyer friend yesterday. Maybe I want to be the rosa

171
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: parks of this. Have used my lawyer and turned this

172
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: into an issue. Although I'm worried about how many people

173
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: would agree with me in the state of California, since

174
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: it is part of laws we have passed in this state.

175
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: I'll explain this all to you coming up.

176
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: I gotta believe that in some parts of the country

177
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: you're gonna think this is crazy, but it's the way

178
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: we do it here.

179
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not an accident.

180
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: No, it's not. Anyway, I'll explain all that coming up.

181
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: I find it highly troubling.

182
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: Stay tuned.

183
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: I try to keep myself out of trouble here. It

184
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: ain't gonna be easy because I could get fired up

185
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: about this really fast. So a mom I know, I'll say,

186
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: was at the waiting room to see the doctor with

187
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 2: their sixteen year old sick kid who's been having a

188
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: choking regularly. I won't get into the details of that

189
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: because it's a distraction. But it's a fairly serious medical

190
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: problem that we're worried about. It's been going on for

191
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. They're worried about, not me. This

192
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: is not me and this mom in question. So when

193
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: they called the patient's name, Bill Johnson, that's the sick kid.

194
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: Mom and kids stood up to go in the room

195
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: like you would expect to do. And I have done

196
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: my whole life, and my parents did with me when

197
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: I was kids, and all that sort of stuff.

198
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: With a minor child according to every bit of the law.

199
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: Yes, right, the person that you're fully one hundred percent

200
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: legally responsible for. You both get up in your headed

201
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: toward the room to talk to the doctor. The nurse

202
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 2: lady puts a hand and says whoa stop patient only,

203
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: And the mom was like, I'm gonna fight you right now,

204
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: she thought to herself, but didn't know what to do,

205
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: and then sat down and the eventually got called in.

206
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 2: I think this is effing insane that they are separating

207
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 2: parents from children and talking to them alone about serious

208
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: medical problems. So I did a deep dive on this

209
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: with a lawyer because I'm actually worried about getting arrested.

210
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: I really, I seriously am where I'm gonna say. I'm

211
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: going in there now having read through the law, what

212
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: is most likely to happen is they're going to just say, well,

213
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: you can't get medical service here, because that's the way

214
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: we do it. Let me read a little bit of

215
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: this from you. This is explained by people who have

216
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: been having troubles with this California law that got passed,

217
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: the contrast between medical interviews and police interrogations. When parents

218
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: express vehement frustration like I have over being separated from

219
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: their children, they frequently use terminology associated with the criminal

220
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: justice system, describing the medical interview as an interrogation.

221
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: That's because it is do you have any guns at home?

222
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: This or that, or any of questions about your a

223
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: medical situation that you, as a child may or may

224
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: not know since you're a child. This underscores a critical

225
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 2: legal and psychological distinction between medical settings and law enforcement settings.

226
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: At California.

227
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: It goes through the law there where how cops can't

228
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: talk to a kid without their parents. There only extreme

229
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: situations can cops start interrogating a child without the parent there,

230
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: And we have that assumption kind of with when we

231
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 2: go to the doctor. Turns out that's not the case.

232
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: There are there have been laws that have been passed

233
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 2: in California. Now it all the original reason for it,

234
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: and I don't even agree with it. In the original

235
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: reason for it is that stuff like you know, sex

236
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: staff for drug stuff are like that that you might

237
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: not be comfortable talking about in front of your parents.

238
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: Whatever.

239
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: I'm still a thousand percent responsible for everything that my

240
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: child does. And let's not you know, throughout the baby

241
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: with the bathwater, as they say so because of those

242
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: certain circumstances, the patients talked to by a doctor on

243
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: their own a child all the time seems nuts to

244
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 2: be ah, But then I got further down in reading

245
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: about this. There are financial incentives now and this is recent.

246
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 2: This is why it seems like things have changed. They

247
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: get paid per kid that they talk to alone, and

248
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 2: then there are other bigger financial incentives that come to

249
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: the entire hospital. If they meet certain goals of the

250
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 2: number of kids that they talk to alone, they get

251
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 2: to write down on their chart we question the child

252
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 2: without the parent there, and that fulfills some goal by

253
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: the freaking Marxists, in my opinion, who want to talk

254
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: to the children alone without the parents. So when you

255
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: walk in the door of the hospital, the relationship at

256
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: that point is between the child and a corporation, which

257
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: is what a hospital is, and the parent is a sideline.

258
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: They'll let you in my law, They'll let you in

259
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: if they want to let you in. It's up to

260
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: the corporation and the child. That's the relationship, no longer

261
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: the child and the parent. I think that's freaking insane.

262
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: I think it's part of Marxism. I couldn't hate it more.

263
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: The only reason I'll ever put up with it is

264
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: because I'm there and my kid is sick and I

265
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: need help.

266
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: You're all a.

267
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: Bunch of Marxists if you're going along with this, whether

268
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: you realize it or not.

269
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't know they are. It's the classic, you know,

270
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: the ABC of you make a moral sounding argument for

271
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: a practice which happens to insert the state between the

272
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: parent and the child. Well, it's about abuse and neglect

273
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: or social abuse or whatever. We're not doing it because

274
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, Marx and Engels advocated for public, state run

275
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: education to free children from parental influence. It's right there

276
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: in the Communist Manifesto. They were proud of it. So

277
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: the well meaning people, the useful idiots, they think they're

278
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. But so you've got the schools saying, hey,

279
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: let's not try your mom and dad about this exactly.

280
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: You've got the university saying let's not tell your family

281
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: about this. You've got the medical institutions now saying you

282
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: don't have to tell your mom and dad about this,

283
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: or your mommy and daddy about this, because they'll do

284
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: it with really young kids. Do you think I'm being

285
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: paranoid thinking that's misplaced when Marxist theory calls for it specifically,

286
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't be more angry about this.

287
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: I may be more angry about this than practically anything

288
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: that's ever happened in my life. And I'm not exactly

289
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: sure I'm gonna handle it. So my son is going

290
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: to see a sixth different doctor today. Now my primary doctor,

291
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: this no I really like and trust and all that

292
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. I still don't agree that he talks

293
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: to them without me there.

294
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: But all these other doctors, I don't know them.

295
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're gonna talk about or ask

296
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: would it be crazy? In the town I live in,

297
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: in the state of California for a doctor to say,

298
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: do you ever feel like a girl? Or how many

299
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: guns do you have in your house? Or does your

300
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: dad recycle or any other bullss? You vote for Trump exactly?

301
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: I don't know.

302
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: And then you've just got the medical part of it.

303
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: They're a kid, they don't know how the system works.

304
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: It took me a long time to figure out what

305
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: you should say and shouldn't say to a doctor to

306
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: try to get the kind of care you want and

307
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: be able to advocate for yourself.

308
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: Your kid can't do that.

309
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's insane that you're putting your hand up

310
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: and saying no child, only parent. You stay out there

311
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: will tell you when you can talk. That is effing

312
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 2: a crazy.

313
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: Let's not tell your mommy and daddy. This will be

314
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: our secret. I couldn't hate this more.

315
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: I guess the other hospital is worse than the one

316
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 2: I currently go to, so I don't have a lot

317
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: of choices.

318
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: Okay, groomers, Armstrong and getty.

319
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 5: If what they mean by opening the straits is yes,

320
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 5: the straits are opened as long as you coordinate with Iran,

321
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 5: get our permission, or will blow you up and you

322
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 5: pay us. That's not opening the Straits. Those are international waterways.

323
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 5: They cannot normalize, nor can we tolerate them trying to

324
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 5: normalize a system in which the Iranians decide who gets

325
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 5: to use an international waterway and how much you have

326
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 5: to pay them to use it.

327
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm a big Marco Rubio fan.

328
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: Full disclosure, there's talk Helprin talks a lot that his

329
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: stock is really high right now compared to JD Vance's.

330
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: It should be.

331
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: We'll see where that goes. But Marco Rubio would be

332
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 2: an easy vote for president.

333
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah. And I also think he ought to

334
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: be the point person on the Arion conflict. Honestly, with

335
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: all due respect Donald Jay, I just think his explanations

336
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: and his knowledge of the whole thing, and well, his

337
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: ability to communicate it is it's better. It's just better.

338
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: You know. He had a great conversation with Trey yinst

339
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: If you're a news junkie, you know Trey. He's usually

340
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: wearing a flak jacket on a rooftop reporting from the

341
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: Middle East with a helmet with a helmet for Fox News,

342
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: and he's very, very good at that. But I think

343
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: he was in town for the White House Correspondence dinner

344
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: or something like that, and he's spending a little time

345
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. He's got a coat and tie

346
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: on and did a bang up interview with Marco on

347
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Special Report with Brett Behar last night in which Trey

348
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: was a serious, damn smart journalist and Rubio was a serious,

349
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: damn smart politician answering his questions. Let's start, he asks

350
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: if the Supreme leaders alive, and Marco says, yeah, maybe,

351
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: but we don't think he has a decision making power.

352
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: Then in forty two he goes on with the Q

353
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: and A.

354
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 3: Reports do indicate I Ron has offered to open the streets,

355
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 3: but they want to delay conversations about their nuclear program.

356
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 3: Would this be acceptable to the Trump administration?

357
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 5: Well, again, I'm not going to speculate about the President's

358
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 5: decision making on this matter. Suffice it to say that

359
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 5: the nuclear question is the reason why we're in this

360
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 5: in the first place. If Iran was just a radical

361
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 5: country run by radical people, but you know, it'd still

362
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 5: be problem. But they are revolutionary in essence. Did they

363
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 5: seek to expand and export their revolution? Not just what

364
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 5: they do in Iran. That's why they're with Hesbil and Lebanon.

365
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 5: That's why they've supported Hamas, That's why they've supported the.

366
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: Militias in Iraq.

367
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 5: They don't just seek to dominate Iran, they seek to

368
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 5: dominate the region. And imagine that with a nuclear weapon.

369
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 5: Look what they've done with the Straits, great example. The

370
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 5: Straits is basically the equivalent of an economic nuclear weapon

371
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 5: that they're trying to use against the world, and they're.

372
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: Bragging about it.

373
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 5: They're putting up billboards in Tehran bragging about how they

374
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 5: can hold twenty five percent or twenty percent of the

375
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 5: world's energy hostage. Imagine if those same people had access

376
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 5: to a nuclear weapon, they would hold the whole region hostage.

377
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: Oh, we need so much more Marco one hundred percent.

378
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: They would, if not just immediately wipe Tel Aviv off

379
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: the planet.

380
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: Right in service of their religion. Yeah, which they actually believe.

381
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: Next clip, do.

382
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 3: You believe the Iranians are serious about making a deal?

383
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: I think the Ionians are serious.

384
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 5: So we're getting themselves out of the mess that they're in.

385
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 5: All the problems iron had, they had riots a few

386
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 5: months ago, and these were economic riots.

387
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: All the problems that Iran had.

388
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 5: Before the start of this conflict are still in place,

389
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 5: and most of.

390
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: Them are worse.

391
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 5: And now they have half the missiles, none of the factories,

392
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 5: and no navy.

393
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: And then the final clip, the next one, Michael, if.

394
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 5: There is no deal, what comes next, Well, again, that's

395
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 5: the president's decision to make. I would start out by

396
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 5: reminding everybody that the level of sanctions on Iran are extraordinary.

397
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 5: The pressure on Iran is extraordinary, and I think more

398
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 5: can be brought to bear. But I hope that in

399
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 5: the aftermath of this conflict, the whole world's eyes have

400
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 5: been opened to the threat Iran poses.

401
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 2: The AP had a great article today about the damage

402
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 2: that has been done to Iran economy and you know,

403
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 2: getting to the how long can they survive before they collapse?

404
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 2: Iran has lost outright a million jobs. Ten to twelve

405
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: million jobs are at high risk. That's half of Iran's

406
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 2: labor force that is at high risk of going away

407
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: like now. For days now, news reports and government officials

408
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: have given radically different estimates of how long they can

409
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: keep their oil wells pumping. Nobody's exactly sure on that.

410
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: It's somewhere between two days and two months. Even if

411
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: it's two months, though, there will be an end time

412
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: for how long you can keep your oil wells pumping

413
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 2: before you got to shut them down. And that's a

414
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: really really big deal and cost many billions of dollars

415
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: to ever get up and running again, and they can't

416
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 2: risk that.

417
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't think surprisingly, neither Jack nor I have ever

418
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: run a giant oil field. And it turns out, yeah,

419
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: if you shut it down, it takes zillions of dollars

420
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: and months and months and months and months to start

421
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: it up again, for reasons that I barely comprehend.

422
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 2: Well, when you shut down production across an entire oil field,

423
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 2: you'll get water intrusion, chemical instability, which causes things like

424
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: clay swelling.

425
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: To regenerate that myself, the chemical instability, and.

426
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 2: To regenerate production, you'd have to spend a lot of

427
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 2: money to get those. I didn't know that at all.

428
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 2: And I come from a part of the world where

429
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: there's lots and lots of oil fields and oil oil

430
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: pump's going, especially.

431
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: We're in the eighties.

432
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: But so when you shut that down, the whole oil

433
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: field can collapse upon itself and water starts to leak

434
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 2: in and stuff like that.

435
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: Didn't know that's like not running your weed whacker for

436
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: a year with California Gas in Yeah, probably, it's probably similar, honestly.

437
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, So anyway, if they run out of places

438
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: to put the oil, they're gonna have to shut everything down,

439
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: and that would be that would be really, really bad

440
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: from the IRGC's perspective. So when do they give? When

441
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: do they cry uncle? Is it a couple of days,

442
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: a couple of months, or do they just pray for

443
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: the apocalypse according to their extremist religious beliefs. Nobody is

444
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: really sure.

445
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: Halprin's reporting today, based on his sources in the White House,

446
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 2: say that there is very very little appetite for restarting

447
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 2: like the Kinetic War, the hundreds of strikes per day

448
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: with planes and bombs. Nobody's really into that, including Trump,

449
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: according to his reporting, So the likelihood of that restoring

450
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: restarting anytime soon is very low. I don't think this

451
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 2: is a bad you know, it's easy for the our

452
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: short attention span and the media that hates Trump so

453
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 2: much to every day talk about it as an obvious

454
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: loss and like Trump's back is up against the wall.

455
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 2: I agree with Trump on this unless I'm missing something.

456
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: Why is his back against the wall as opposed to

457
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: the Iranian leadership's back against the.

458
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: Wall and at risk of overusing this metaphor. I was

459
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: so annoyed when the Wall Street Journal just called it

460
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: a standoff when their resources are dwindling fast and their

461
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: capacity to endure the standoff is going away very very quickly,

462
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: and ours is like I mean, the gases up a

463
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: little bit and people are annoyed, But you got two

464
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: parties trying to starve each other out. One lives in

465
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: a grocery store, the other it's down to that last

466
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: ham sandwich. That's not a standoff.

467
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: So if the leadership in Iran collapses, you could still

468
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 2: end up with a civil war and all cut all

469
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 2: kinds of hellacious outcomes.

470
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: Oh for twenty years, Yeah, it's possible. Still, it remains

471
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: interesting to see where this is going. And they couldn't

472
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: get a bomb period, There is no well what if

473
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: that could possibly pass muster which the media conveniently ignores,

474
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: but they suck at their jobs.

475
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: I hate that, As I've said been times before, I

476
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: hate the gas prices angle of it. I wish there'd

477
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 2: be a better response when a response is allowed to look,

478
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: you either think the war's worth it or not, and

479
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 2: you it's a legitimate conversation to say, I don't think

480
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: it was worth going to war with Iran to stop

481
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: them from having a nuclear weapon. Either I'm okay with

482
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,479
Speaker 2: their having a nuclear weapon, which makes you an idiot,

483
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: or I think there are other ways through sanctions to

484
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 2: stop them, which I think makes you naive. But you

485
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: can believe it. It's not you, Barack Obama. Yeah, but

486
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 2: it's not. It's not a but the whole I was

487
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 2: fine with getting rid of their stopping them from having

488
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon, but that was before I knew gas

489
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: is going to cost a dollar more.

490
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: What kind of argument is that? Yeah, I can't remember

491
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: how old I was when it was pointed out to me.

492
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: It might even have been my mom, who ended up

493
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: getting her Masters of Divinity ordained as minister in her fifties,

494
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: but that I hadn't realized that the Four Gospels were

495
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: written for different audiences, which is why they are somewhat

496
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: different in approach. It's one of the reasons some were

497
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: written for the Greeks, others for the Romans, etc. I

498
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: don't remember which is which because I'm sinful, But anyway,

499
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: Trump is incredibly gifted at communicating with people who are

500
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: already inclined to be with him or close to being

501
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: with him. He is remarkably terrible at changing anybody's mind

502
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: or bringing them along. And that's why I'd love to

503
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: see Rubio do a little more talking about this.

504
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: Rubio should be the one going out and doing press

505
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 2: conferences all the time and just hammering it over and

506
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 2: over again.

507
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: Yeah. I get why it's the commander in chief, but

508
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: the commander in chief is absolutely terrible at bringing along

509
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: the American people. If they're not sure they want to

510
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: go somewhere. It's too bad. But it is. It just

511
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 1: is what it is.

512
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: As they say, coming up, we will finish strong. Also,

513
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 2: I just wanted to point out a couple of things.

514
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: I think Elon is behind on the day that the

515
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: trial is starting, not a coincidence, but more on the

516
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: way stay here four wide there turns one and two,

517
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 2: and all the way down the back borrow and Bottles

518
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: is in the wall right after contact, right front of

519
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: pack Landi's around, Loocano's around.

520
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: They're all wrecking.

521
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 2: Ever, race is a big one, that's the whole field.

522
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: What was that? I was a twenty six car pile

523
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: up at Talladega, the biggest wreck in NASCAR history. Somebody

524
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: didn't somebody didn't signal yeah yeah, looking at their phone texting.

525
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: So if every car wrecked, what then what happened is

526
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: a race over? They go have a picnic in the infield.

527
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if it was literally

528
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: the whole field. It becomes a foot race exactly, get

529
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: out of your cars, go no insane. I got to

530
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: admit to some desire to check that out online, so

531
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 1: I smell something.

532
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: As the Elon Musk versus Sam Altman Open ai trial

533
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 2: begins today in Oakland opening statements, Ronan Pharoh, one of

534
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: the most high profile investigative journalists of the last decade

535
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: or so, has a piece about Sam Altman being a lying,

536
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: misleading scumbag that Elon retweeted today that just came out,

537
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: And The Wall Street Journal had an article come out

538
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: last night online and in today's paper about internal memos.

539
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: People familiar with finances and concerns about how a open

540
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: aiye is failing and not meeting any of their internal

541
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: goals with sources told The Wall Street Journal this all

542
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 2: landed today. Now it could just be that you know,

543
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: the trials in the news or the Wall Street Journal

544
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: thought they would do a piece coinciding with the trial.

545
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: Or it could be the world's richest man who's got

546
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifty billion dollars found a way to

547
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: get Ronan Faroh and so many journalists at the Wall

548
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: Street Journal to write some hit pieces that landed the

549
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: day of the trial.

550
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: At the very very least, Elon absolutely has it contacts

551
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: with so many people in the world attack he could say, Hey,

552
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: call Jim Schmidt and Jenny Jones, ask them about Sam Altman.

553
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: How honest he is. Here's their numbers, right, I mean,

554
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: at the very very least. Well, a guy has rich

555
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: and powerfos him. He's probably got tentacles upon tentacles upon

556
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: tentacles of various companies, individuals, whatever, that you could influence

557
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: one way or another with either with access or investing in.

558
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: Their company, or who knows what. Yeah, yeah, it seems

559
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 2: like a heck of a coincidence too. Two really bad

560
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: Sam Altman articles from high profile sources hit the day

561
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: of the.

562
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: Trial, right right, And I for some reason, my mind

563
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: is going back to various stories I've heard through the years,

564
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: which I believe to be true about you know, like

565
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: really great upstart car companies getting crushed by the Big

566
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: three back in the day, or the guy who invented

567
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: intermittent wipers getting screwed and blah blah blah, and they're

568
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: potentially so many dollars at stake here. It makes the

569
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: like war to be the biggest car manufacturer look quaint. Yeah.

570
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I have a hard time knowing what to believe.

571
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe for a second everybody's staying within the

572
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: lines of hyriethical conduct.

573
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: Ockham's Razor would lead you to believe that it'd be crazy,

574
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: super practically never seen before hardball when you've got trillions

575
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: of dollars at steak like this.

576
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't say this out loud, but I'm an

577
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: underachiever and I won't do it anyway. Could I start

578
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: a razor company called Akham's Razor the obvious way to

579
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: get a close shave? That would be her slogan. It's

580
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: like a Chinese restaurant called walk this way. I remember,

581
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: that's right. I forgot about that one too. Yeah, I

582
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: just need somebody to walk behind me and implement my

583
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: ideas and then just give me a cut. I don't

584
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: even need a big cut. Of course.

585
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: I have my nonprofit museum dedicated to letting people know

586
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: about the amazing thistle. The name of the museum is

587
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: this Will be Awesome, right, which is a good name

588
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: for a museum about thistles.

589
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: Yes, in particular, Yes, I appreciate your high minded public

590
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: service approach, but I'm all about profit. Yes, pure profit.

591
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: You're like Sam Altman, like maybe I don't know. Uh,

592
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: that reminds me. Maybe we'll get to this tomorrow. Read

593
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: a great substack entitled Everyone You Meet Online is a

594
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: freak an Internet for the obsessives, by the obsessives. There's

595
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: a lot of truth. Well, just that that you're not

596
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: seeing normal people with normal lives like influencing on the Internet.

597
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: It's people who've just become entirely Internet oriented who are

598
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: leading the Internet, and so it's become its own weird

599
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: little subculture with a distorted view of what the world is. Yeah.

600
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 2: So then I read an article the other day and

601
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: I never got around to it. Maybe I will about

602
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 2: how there's going to be a tipping point, especially with AI,

603
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: where the Internet will be real life because everything will

604
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: be there'll be more energy reflecting upon what is being

605
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 2: said on the Internet, than there will be anywhere else

606
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 2: that could happen at some point, then we're doomed.

607
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's really no way to summarize this quickly,

608
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: but it's no secret that Reddit monitors tend to be

609
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: moderators tend to be extremely weird, anti social losers. I'm

610
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: sure whether it's the autistic non binary part time dog

611
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: Walker went on Fox News to complain that work is slavery,

612
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: or the former head moderator of livestream Fail, who recorded

613
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: perhaps the most cringe open letter in human history. Reddit's

614
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: history is filled with moderators embarrassing themselves. That's the kind

615
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 1: of writing. I like, Well, that was something. Here's your

616
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: OS for final thoughts, Joe Getty. I liked it. Hey,

617
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: let's get a final tip from everybody on the crew

618
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: to wrap up the show. Why not Michaelangelow lead us

619
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: off Jack that they can the doctor can ask about

620
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: your recycling habits. I don't know that, but who knows

633
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 2: the thought for you. Here's my final thought today.

634
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: If you'd said to the leaders of the Soviet Union,

635
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: you can't subvert the United States. They're too successful, they're

636
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: too rich, they're too proud of their country, those leaders

637
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: would have said, yeah, it's probably going to take sixty

638
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: seventy years, but I think we can do it. They'd

639
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: be right.

640
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 2: I remembered my final thought since Reddit came up. If

641
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 2: you've never spent any time I'm on Reddit, you should.

642
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: If you want to have some idea about America, particularly

643
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 2: young people, particularly weird young people, just spend some time

644
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: bouncing around Reddit.

645
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: And then rethink your commitment to democracy exactly to self governance.
