We've got some carefully selected curated 10 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty segments. It's the Armstrong and Getty replay. 11 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: Let's all enjoy it together. 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: Time magazine announced today that it's person of the Year 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 2: are the quote individuals who imagined, designed, and built AI. 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: Just think thanks to them, next year we won't need 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 2: a Person of the Year. 16 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: That's pretty interesting. Yeah, what if the person of the 17 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: Year for ten years running is Ai chat bott Ephron, 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: who cured lung cancer. I think we got to shut 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: it down at that point. So, speaking of AI, Trump 20 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: with a big order yesterday to try to deregulate AI. 21 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: Why this year alone, twenty twenty five, which is coming 22 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: to a close. All fifty states and territories, even our territories, 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: you too, GWAM. All fifty states and territories introduced AI legislation. 24 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: Thirty eight states adopted about one hundred laws, and because 25 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: of that, Trump signed an executive order denuter state AI laws, 26 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: saying it's important for America to dominate AI. Any state 27 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: that does not overturn their laws or support the United State. 28 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: That this is in the quotes United States Global AI 29 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: Dominance Act, putting dozens of AI safety and consumer protection 30 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: laws at risk if states keep their laws in place 31 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: that they already passed. Trump said he's going to direct 32 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: regulators to withhold funds for broadband and other projects. That's 33 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: the way the federal government forces you to do things. 34 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: They withhold funds. All right? That what do you call 35 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: it act that you just referred to? The United States 36 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: Global AI Dominance? What status is that at? Does it exist? 37 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: Has it been written as well for Congress? We're about 38 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: to find out. No, it's not before Congress. It's a 39 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: president thing. The order yesterday, which has sparked broad bipartisan opposition. 40 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: Lots of people both parties don't like. It is likely 41 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: to be challenged in court by states and consumer groups 42 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: on the grounds that only Congress has the authority to 43 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: override state laws. Legal experts said, this is gonna be 44 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: damned interesting though, how much if we had done this 45 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: around and automobiles or the internet at the very beginning, 46 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: or whatever else, how much would have it have slowed 47 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: down us being the global leader on those things. Yes, 48 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: I think and I absolutely stand ready to be corrected 49 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: on this, but I think this is a great example 50 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: of you know, the situation is people are very, very 51 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: worried about AHI, and they are looking to government to 52 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: solve the problem, which in some cases is appropriate, often not, 53 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: but and their representative in the government are like, I 54 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: have no idea what to do, so we'll just do this. 55 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: Neither do they pass stuff that is half ridiculous, well right, 56 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: and is probably going to only handcuff us and actually 57 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: accomplish nothing in terms of making you safer, your money safer, 58 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: the internet safer. Well, however you want to look at it. 59 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: So I follow a lot of conversations between doomers, which 60 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: I'm one of an acceleration lists, who say we need 61 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: to go full speed ahead to make sure we stay 62 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: ahead of China, and just because it's going to be 63 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: so great for everybody. But one of the arguments of 64 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: the accelerations is accelerationists is there there are no laws 65 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: you can pass that doesn't that make any sense? Certainly 66 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: not yet. Nobody has any idea what we're even talking 67 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: about yet, right, yeah, well, plus you can pass every 68 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: law you want. I'm gonna ask night Chat GPT, Hey, 69 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: how do I get around this law? Great question, Joe, 70 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: you're so curious. Here's how you get around it. Just 71 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: rout you're saying through a blankety blanket, you know it is, 72 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: it's all performative. I think I think it is too. 73 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: I think the broad bipartisan opposition is mostly like you said, 74 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: it's scared voters who have no idea what they're even 75 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: scared of, or any the slightest inkling, and nobody does 76 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: how you would regulate it, right, which is not to 77 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: discount people's concern I'm a right, right, yeah, well, okay, 78 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: so you know it's funny. I just happened to read 79 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: a piece by the brilliant y've All Levin about why 80 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: Republicans lose every argument about health care costs, and it's 81 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: ironically convinced me that it's time to pull the plug 82 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: on the American democratic experiment while the patient is dead. Wow, 83 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna put a pill over the face of democracy. Oh, no, 84 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: need to, no need to. It's it's dead. It's just 85 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: being supported by machines. I'm sorry to break the news 86 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: to you, missus America. Yeah, yeah, you're your country is dead. 87 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: Not really, not really, who knows twists and turns keep 88 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: on coming. But he actually have stats on that, percentages 89 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: of people that think that we're like more or less 90 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: over versus dying, versus doing Okay, I have stats on 91 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: that coming up from a new pool. Yeah, I'll just 92 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: hit you with a couple of sentences from that piece 93 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: about healthcare, which is I was just reminded of confusing 94 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: and frightening but very important political discussions that end up 95 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: being really dumb. Is our theme. Uh, you've all writes 96 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: this is where politics gum things up talking about Well, anyway, 97 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: the fact is most of us don't actually want a 98 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: lot of choice when it comes to healthcare. We just 99 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: want to believe that everything is paid for. That creates 100 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: an incentive to hide costs by routing most payments through 101 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: insurers or government, which sustains the illusion that everything is 102 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: free to the consumer. This has yielded a healthcare system 103 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: without real prices, which is something we've talked about many times. 104 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: That sentence in there, I realize that's true. But if 105 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: people think stuff, anything you get is free, well then 106 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: we just have a dumb populace. Correct. You can't get 107 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: past that. That's the problem. How do you think anything 108 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: could be free if I was going to be more 109 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: charitable for once in my life. Yeah, well, I would 110 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: say the practically the entire political structure of our country 111 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: at this point. Both parties have convinced people that to 112 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: what comes from the government is free and that they 113 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: have a right to it. Where there are just enough 114 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: billionaires to fund all of this if they pay their 115 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: there but anyway, so back to Levin's point that this 116 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: sustains the illusion that everything is free to the consumer. 117 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: This has yielded a healthcare system without real prices and 118 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: therefore without enough pressure to restrain spending. In turn, that's 119 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: led to ever rising costs paid for by ever rising subsidies. 120 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: It's one of the main reasons we're so deep in 121 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: debt anyway, he writes for decades, this is meant that 122 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: health policy proposals that make economic sense do not make 123 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: political sense, and vice versa. And so Democrats have responded 124 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: to the problem by leaning into the political logic and 125 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: proposing endless subsidies. And it is much more appealing to 126 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: voters than saying whoa, whoa, Well, here are the problems 127 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: with this model. Here's why we need a reform at plumpt. 128 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: It just you can't get it through a democracy, which 129 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,559 Speaker 1: I realized is incredibly discouraging. Sometimes realism is discouraging. But yeah, 130 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: oof oof, where do we go from here? We do 131 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: need to get Craig, the healthcare guru on in the 132 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: new year to talk about the status things. I think 133 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: because it's it's intimidating and confusing and depressing and discouraging, 134 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: but it's something we all are involved in. It's not 135 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: like hearing some sort of legislation about oil rigs in 136 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: the Gulf of America. I mean, you think, yeah, I 137 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: get oil on them. No, everybody's fundamentally involved in healthcare. 138 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: So it's very very important to I have, like the 139 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: majority of Americans have healthcare through my employer and once 140 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: you get past the deductible, I'm pretty happy with it. 141 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: Like I picked up a whole bunch of prescriptions at 142 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: the pharmacy the other day and the total was like 143 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: two dollars and forty cents for like six things. I 144 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: always say, that's outrageous, and I get a laugh out 145 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: of the hilarious pharmacist girl. But it's amazed by that. 146 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: But here in a couple of weeks, it'll be January 147 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: first and we all get to experience that hole. You 148 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: go to the pharmacy or the first doctor appointment and 149 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: you get hit with this insane bill. It's like, oh, 150 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: that's right, my five thousand dollar deductible hasn't been met 151 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: yet for the year, right, And plenty of employers are 152 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,599 Speaker 1: out there saying, oh yeah, and I'm kicking in X 153 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: amount every single month on your healthcare. That that prescription 154 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: wasn't two and forty cents, those three hundred and seventy 155 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: five dollars, you idiot, like a slap stamps anyway, because 156 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: nobody sees the prices. It's crazy. I get surprised every 157 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: year when I go to pick up one prescription for 158 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: my son and it's like one hundred and eighty dollars. 159 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: What you haven't inture deductible yet? Right, So here's a 160 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: question for you on air meeting. I'm gonna phrase this 161 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: in one of the one of the ways I hate 162 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: the most, take the Joe Getty challenge. Do you have 163 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: the guts to take on these stories? Oh my god, 164 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: I know how annoying is that. It was adding, Yeah, 165 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: uh so headline from the Free Press the base is 166 00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: done with Maga. It wants America. First. She went to 167 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green's district in Georgia and talk to lots 168 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: and lots of voters and they are over Donald j. Yeah. 169 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: Well did you read or maybe you were about to 170 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: say that? Ah, Peggy Newman, Yeah yeah. Rum may be 171 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: losing his touch. At the end of his eleventh month. 172 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: He's surrounded by moodshifts, challenges, an ominous sign well, particularly 173 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: her talking about how Marjorie Taylor Green may have signaled 174 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: to everybody you can challenge the king and survive. She's 175 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: doing better for herself than she probably ever has. Got 176 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: the sixty minutes piece, She's getting lots of news coverage 177 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff. She hasn't been you know, ruined. 178 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, yeah, Peggy refers to it as a 179 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: jail break moment. Yeah, when everybody realized, oh my gosh, 180 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: you can defy the warden. Right, yeah, exactly, So why 181 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: don't we get into that next hour? And here's you know, 182 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: just in case that concerns you. We I are here 183 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: neither to lavish praise and lick the boots of Donald J. Trump, 184 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: nor automatically run down everything he does. It's it's life 185 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: is much more interesting if you just try to take 186 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: in reality and understand what's happening. In my opinion, and 187 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: I think his ship is headed for the shoals, I 188 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: really do. Is that only a figure of speech or 189 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: was there a point where you had to lick people's boots? 190 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: It's got to have come from something. I'd hate to 191 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: have to do that. Uh yeah, if you are ordered 192 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: to lick my boots clean, I would say that's a 193 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: bit of a statement of Donald's. That is a bit 194 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: of a humiliation. Yes, indeed, you it was right, Wake 195 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: up and smell the leather, Jack Armstrong and Joe Armstrong 196 00:11:54,679 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: and Getty show the Armstrong and getting shot. So my 197 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: thirteen year old, and it matters what his age is 198 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: apparently wanted to open a checking account at the bank 199 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: or an account at the bank because he's got enough 200 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: money built up from allowances and birthdays and Christmases, and 201 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't spend his money like his brother does. He 202 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: saves it because he wants to be able to put 203 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: it toward a car someday and that sort of thing. 204 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: So he's got a decent sized chunk of money added 205 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: up over the years, and he'd been keeping it in 206 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: his shoe box, and so he's going to open an account. 207 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: And I remember when I opened an account when I 208 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: was probably about his age. I started mowing lawns when 209 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: I was twelve thirteen and accumulating money and opening a 210 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: bank account. On the way to the bank, I did 211 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: say to him, I said, you know, I haven't been 212 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: around the idea of opening an account for a bank 213 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: in forty years something like that. So I don't know 214 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: if the rules have changed, but so in case something happens, 215 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: but anyway, we should we get it there sure enough. 216 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: And so we're trying to open this account and everything 217 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: like that. And first of all, many banks everything is 218 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because the government comes down 219 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: on them. So hard or something like that. They treat 220 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: everybody like you're a want to be terrorist. Like everything 221 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: you do it's like, jeez, lighten up. But anyway, he 222 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: needs to have two forms of ID. Is where we 223 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: ran into the roadblock. I said, what is a form 224 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: of ID for a thirteen year old? He said, and 225 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: they said, well, your Social Security card is birth certificate? Okay, great, 226 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: So I said, the fact that I'm his dad isn't 227 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: good enough. I can't vouch for the fact that he's 228 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: my son. And I have an account here and have 229 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: had for twenty five years and open an account for him. 230 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: I can't do that, and no, we need to. And 231 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: I said, is that a bank policy or a state 232 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: law or what is that? Because I was thinking if 233 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: it's a bank policy, I'll go to a different bank. 234 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: But it's a federal law. It's part of the patrioarch. 235 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: I said, oh, of course, and he said, well, it's 236 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: a federal I said, you don't need to explain the 237 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: federal government to me. And I hate the federal government, 238 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: I said. And then the guy looked at me like 239 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: I was Oh. He got wide eyed, like, oh, you're 240 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: one of those people. You're Timothy McVeigh. You're you're you're 241 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: one of those people. Yeah, clearly I've heard about them. 242 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: I said, I hate the federal government. The Patriot Act's ridiculous. 243 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. The fact that I can't open a 244 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: bank account for a thirteen year old, and as his parent, 245 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: I got I gotta prove who he is because you 246 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: can't take my word for the fact that he's my child, 247 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: makes me child money laundering, little mule for your militia, 248 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call him. The Patriot Act was 249 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: so much I was trying to explain it to Enry. 250 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: Was so much crap that they jammed through. It's all 251 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: because of nine to eleven. So you're gonna stop the 252 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: next nine to eleven by making sure thirteen year olds 253 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: don't open illegal bank accounts. I guess whatever, even though 254 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: their parent, who you know, is sitting right there. I 255 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: hate stuff like that and the and the but they 256 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: were there. Their eyes got so wide when I hate 257 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: said I hate the federal government. And I was thinking 258 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: if I was doing this same thing in my and 259 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: my where I went to college in Hayes, Kansas, and 260 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: I said I hate the federal government, the teller would 261 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: have said, yeah, me too. Don't you high five? Jock 262 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: came end of that. Brother, but that just being oh 263 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: my god, you shouldn't she said. Oh she gasped. The 264 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: woman gasped, and her boss just looked at me white. 265 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: I'd like, oh, were we about to have a fight? 266 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: Oh man, you have to have two pieces of id 267 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: even though he's my kid. I just found that amazing. 268 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: All right, here's here's the guy who retweets my quotes. 269 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: Get ready to jot this one down and get it right? 270 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: Would you? Anytime the government says there's an emergency, there 271 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: are two emergencies. Yeah, but actually exactly. And I actually 272 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: told my son because he was one, and he was relayed, like, 273 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: is that something you can't say out loud? I said, 274 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: I told him. The most revered Republican president of the 275 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: last maybe century, Ronald Reagan, ran on the scariest words 276 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: in the English language are I'm here from I'm from 277 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: the government, and I'm here to help you. I mean, 278 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: he ran on, I hate the government or I just 279 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: saw clip this morning. The government isn't the solution. Government 280 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: is the problem. And the woman who was typing furiously 281 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: after I said that, because she was so horrified that 282 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: anybody would say that. I said, you know, all the 283 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: money in my account. I made that by going on 284 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: the radio every day and saying I hate the government. 285 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: Living by the way, if the Justice Department is listening, 286 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: or the FDIC, right, the CIA, the NSA, if I'm 287 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: happy to testify against this monster, I'm sure I'm on 288 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: some sort of terrorist watch list now, yes, Michael, So 289 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: wonder they didn't hit the silent alarm on you and 290 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: then you know, cops show up or something. I would 291 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: be I would have loved to talk to people and 292 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: explain why it's okay for me to say I hate 293 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: the government. No, no, no, We've got to surveill him 294 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: for a while and go through his mail and monitor 295 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: his phone calls. We've got the NSA working on it already. 296 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: What I hate is the manager guy acting like it 297 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: makes sense that we have a law that I can't 298 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: vouch for my kid being my kid. That seems perfectly 299 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: reasonable to me. Two forms of ID for a child 300 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: right when their parents is there. I thought, he says 301 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: his name, then I say his name? Is that two 302 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: forms of ID? And it's not What the hell has 303 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: the world becau? I know, Jack Armstrong and Joe the 304 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty Show. 305 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 3: The irony of the message is pretty clear for everyone. 306 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 3: If President Trump was a king, the government would be 307 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 3: open right now. If President Trump was a king, they 308 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 3: would not have been able to engage in that free 309 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 3: speech exercise out on the mall by the way, which 310 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 3: was open, because President Trump hasn't closed it. So I 311 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 3: mean it's they needed a stunt, They needed a show. 312 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer has needs cover right now. He's closed the 313 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 3: government down because he needs political cover, and this was a. 314 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: Part of it. That's a pretty decent point. I'd forgotten 315 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: the shutdown was going on. I believe he forgot hell 316 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: yeah right. And if Trump was a king, he could 317 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: also do something pretty quickly about our vulnerability to China 318 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: in the whole world of rare earth materials. This is 319 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: really an interesting quandary for a free society and people 320 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: who prize the free markets. So as recently as nineteen 321 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: ninety one, the US led the world in the production 322 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: of rare earth minerals, partly because we had a giant 323 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: mine in California Mountain Pass. But when China faked out 324 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: the US and said we're just a poor developing country, 325 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe communism isn't so great, and 326 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: maybe we could be friends, and maybe if you help 327 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: us build our economy will become more like a democracy. 328 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: Completely duped us for decades. Read Michael Pillsbury's one hundred 329 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: Year Marathons brilliant really describes it. But one of the 330 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: things they did was they poured government money into their 331 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: rare earth mining and refining operations, and then when anybody 332 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: in the West, like the US, tried to compete, they 333 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: dumped their goods the supplies into the market, just crushed 334 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: the market, and so our companies went out of business 335 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: or sold themselves to Chinese entities, and then China consolidated. 336 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: There are hundreds of rare earth companies into a few 337 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: super giant powerhouses that could work with the communist Chinese. 338 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: And so even now as we're trying to resurrect our 339 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: domestic rare earth industry, China is doing. It's using all 340 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: the levers a dictatorship can to try to crush that. 341 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: And so the US is going to have to take 342 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: the US government, it's going to have to take probably 343 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: a more and more activist goal role rather in fulfilling 344 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: the goal of building up our domestic capabilities. And you know, 345 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: Trump's already got big investments in various companies whatever the 346 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: hell that means, and we might have to get into 347 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: these quasi public private partnerships that are really really unhealthy 348 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: for a system like ours. For reasons I could drone 349 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: on about, but the point is when you have the 350 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: government controlling billions and trillions of dollars worth of industry, 351 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: then you get a situation where it's just asking for 352 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: good governance that has anything to do with the needs 353 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: of the people. Forget it. There's too much money at stake. 354 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: But you can't let your number one enemy control the 355 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: entire supply klonamdium or whatever red metal is important. Oh yeah, 356 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up, because they could crash 357 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: the stock market in a day. Oh they could bring 358 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: all of our car companies and most of our tech 359 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: companies to their knees in a day if they were 360 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: to announce, Hey, by the way, you can't buy any 361 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: of this stuff fu which is why China enacted some 362 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: new restrictions. I'm not going to describe them because it's 363 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: kind of technical and boring, but they essentially said, yeah, 364 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: we're going to make it a lot hot for y'all 365 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: to get this stuff. And Trump that's when he responded 366 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: with one hundred percent tearoff on on bunches of Chinese 367 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: goods or all Chinese goods that I can't remember everything, 368 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: because that's I mean, they have us buy the you know, 369 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: use whatever descriptor you prefer. We are in a terribly 370 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: vulnerable spot. So what do we do. The sack that's 371 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 1: a good one. They got us buy the sack, the nerds, 372 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 1: the nagils. Sure, yeah, it's when I heard it come 373 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: out of my mouth. Yeah, yeah, perhaps a little restraint, 374 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh So, one of the aspects of 375 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: this that's so annoying to me, well two of them. 376 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: Every time we in the past, pre Trump and for 377 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: all my problems with Trump, he was the guy who said, 378 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: China's screwing us. Why are we letting them? Anyway? Every 379 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: time past administrations would go to China and say, hey, 380 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: y'all are dumping uh made a home and made up 381 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: Tonia into the market, and you're killing us, and they 382 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: would turn out their pockets and say, oh, we're a 383 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: poor developing economy. You've got to let us do this 384 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: for a while, just till we're up on our feet. 385 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,719 Speaker 1: Then we'll compete fairly. Oh okay, China, so long as 386 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: you promise us you're reforming. Oh, we're reforming, they would say. 387 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: And so we just got caught with our pants down, 388 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: and now we're again incredibly vulnerable. And oh the other 389 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: aspect of China that is a hole. You know what. 390 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: Our guy is asleep at the switch there he is. 391 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: He was taking a smoke break. He smokes a lot. 392 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: I'm worried about him. But one of the aspects of 393 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: it that bothers me so much is and the whole 394 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: woke environmental thing. And there's there's smart, reasonable environmentalism, then 395 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: there's the Gavin Newsome woke crap. And what annoys me. 396 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 4: So much is we still use every bit as much oil, 397 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 4: we still use every bit as much natural gas, and 398 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 4: every bit as much of these rare earth minerals, but 399 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 4: we have third world countries mine it and refine it 400 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 4: for us, so we can tiptoe around in our white 401 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 4: gloves and say, look how clean we are. We don't 402 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 4: rape the environment by mining these materials, No, we just 403 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 4: use them and let somebody who's way less concerned about 404 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 4: the environment, get them for us. That's the opposite of 405 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 4: being an environmentalist, you flame and blanket hypocrites. 406 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: So China, trust me. They know the hole they have 407 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: over us, and they're not going to let it go easily. 408 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: And so what do we do as a government? I 409 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: don't know, Jack, Do you have the answer? Do we 410 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: build up us? Did you say it's a condom conundrum? 411 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: Why would I say it's a condom? It sounded like condom. 412 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: It's your idiotic adolescent choe. No, well I didn't. I 413 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: said it's conundrum, which is a perfectly so you claim. 414 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: So you claim anyway, ter go to my doctor and 415 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: get my ears de waxed again. Where was I? Oh, 416 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: you know Uncle Sam's mining. Do we have a government 417 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: controlled giant mining apparatus? Or do we actually have the 418 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: government pick winners and losers and invest in giant companies 419 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: that can get us back to self sufficiency. It's it's 420 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: a tough one. Yeah. We painted ourselves into a strategic 421 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: corner through the naivete of the past. And Trump's supposed 422 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: to meet with the President Shee at some point here 423 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: and soon. I guess I don't know our frenemies the 424 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: Chinese you might be meeting with He might be meeting 425 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: with Putin soon. They announced that last week and they're 426 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: trying to put that together. Take going to turn the 427 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: screws on Putin? Trump? Yeah, if you can explain that 428 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: to me, I'm interested. I'm hoping there's something behind the 429 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: scenes we don't know about, because the stuff that's on 430 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: the face of it is he pressured the hell out 431 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: of Zelensky over the weekend. He talked about it last 432 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: night on the plane that Zolensky's got to give up 433 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: the don Bass region, that's the Denetsk basin don Bass, 434 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: big chunk of Ukraine that Russia has taken chunks of. 435 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: And uh and Trump really pressured Zelensky to give up 436 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: on that, saying no to the Tomahawk missiles. And when 437 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: does he ever pressure Putin? Does that happen? And why not? 438 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: He pressured Netan Yahoo? I mean, that's all the credit 439 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: everybody gave him for making this amazing Middle East piece 440 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: deals that he pressured both sides. Does he pressure Putin ever? Well? 441 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: He I think why not? Out of the point it's 442 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: much more, you know, the pressure on net and Yahoo existed, 443 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,719 Speaker 1: but he exercised well, he enacted the policy that all right, 444 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: you've gotten intransigent, you know, a party to these negotiations, 445 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: put maximum pressure on him. Take out Foordoh. Let the 446 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: Israelis drop a bomb in Dohar, you know, kill off Hesbala, 447 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: kill off Amas, go into god A city. Maximum pressure. 448 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: It's worked a couple of times now. But with Putin 449 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: it's kid gloves. And by the way, don't give me 450 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: well he has nukes, world War three, blah blah blah. 451 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: You lost the right to make that argument. What Tucker 452 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: Carlson said bombing the Fodoh plant would lead to World 453 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: War three? Please? It led to a whimpering and just 454 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: ballless Iran begging for mercy. I finished the Tucker Carlson 455 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,959 Speaker 1: fourth episode of the World Trade Center nine to eleven documentary. 456 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:34,719 Speaker 1: Oh oh boy, here's a hint. It's the Jews. But uh, 457 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: was I going to say about not the people who 458 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: are swearing for decades that they would kill us and 459 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: we know them by name and right, yes, had something 460 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: else I was going to say about Putin or whatever? 461 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: So the Financial Times was reporting that Trump and Zelensky 462 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: were shouting at each other in their Oval office meeting 463 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: on Friday, and when Trump finally decided nan not giving 464 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: tomahawks to you, why, I don't know. That seemed like 465 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: that was the direction is going. But anyway, Ran Paul 466 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: was on one of the talk shows yesterday and he said, 467 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: people keep talking about sticks, how about carrots? We're hitting 468 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: them with pretty hard sanctions right now. I don't what 469 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,239 Speaker 1: if we tell Russia will release all these sanctions if 470 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: you end the war, which of course will be criticized 471 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: by some as rewarding a completely illegal move of just 472 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: attacking the country next to you and taking their land. 473 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: But correct, it would end the war, could end the war? 474 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: M No, got it. I don't think it would. It 475 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: would not end Russian aggression in any way. Lost it 476 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: for appearances, you'd have to put some sort of peacekeeping 477 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: forces in there. Trigger Listen, would you take from that? 478 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: If you were putin I would get my ducks back 479 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: in a row and take more land, take Estonia. 480 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. 481 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: The message is you push hard enough, the West backs 482 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: down and gives you what you want. Yeah. Well, the 483 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: reason I wasn't gonna give you Johnny the candy, but 484 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: he threw a tantrum. I'm sure it won't happen again, 485 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: right exactly, So similar to the Middle East. Is this 486 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: the thing with Russia and Ukraine. Who's going to be 487 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: the international force that keeps things in place there in Gaza? 488 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: Who's gonna put troops on the ground or whatever? And 489 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: then that it would be the day after situation Russia Ukraine, 490 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,239 Speaker 1: if you come to some sort of agreement, who's going 491 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: to be the force that keeps the agreement. These questions 492 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: have not been answered. Yeah, it's still it seems like 493 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: it's thin ice to me. But we'll see. There are 494 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: twists in the road ahead. Everybody knew it. Brief version 495 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: is because I want to be I want to be 496 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: helping Ukraine. More very brief version is Trump was talking 497 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: really tough about sending tomahawks and all these different things, 498 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: spent two hours in the phone with Putin and then 499 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: seemed to flip completely back over to that side. Again. 500 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: That's what it looked like to me. So Putin may 501 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: be the greatest manipulator currently doing business on the planet, 502 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: or Trump just really likes being his friend or something, 503 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: And I'm not exactly sure what that is. I hope 504 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: that's it's not the case. I suspect it may be yikes, yeah, okay, 505 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: here we go. Tom Brady's cloned dog. 506 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 5: The revelation from Tom Brady about his family pet. The 507 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 5: former NFL star says his new dog, Juni, is a 508 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 5: clone of his previous dog, Lua, who died in twenty 509 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 5: twenty three. Brady says he worked with a biotech company 510 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 5: he has invested in to clone his beloved pit bull 511 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 5: mix using a blood sample collected while Lua was alive. 512 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: First of all, it's a publicity stunt for this company 513 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: he's invested in place. Your beloved family dog was a 514 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: pit bull mix. You're freaking Tom Brady. What are you 515 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: doing getting pit bull mixes for the family dog? An? 516 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: That was the last straw why Giselle dumped him. Could 517 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: be any who Katie, you love your dog, Joe loves 518 00:29:54,160 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: his dog. Michael's got cats? Yeah, hey, hey, what that 519 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: was speciesist? Michael. I'm standing up for you. I'm not 520 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: going to have this, this casual derision of your lifestyle choices. 521 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to say Michael has cats. It was 522 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: the way you said it. I didn't notice it. Michael 523 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: less cats. How do we feel about the need to 524 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: clone our dog because we like the current one so 525 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: much now, no beer than idiotic. I thought you might 526 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: be a yes on that, Katie, now because it's not 527 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: the same dog. Ah, you are well read enough on 528 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: this topic to realize, yes, it is not the same dog. 529 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: It will not behave the same It's well, it's not 530 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: the same dog, period. You don't even really need anything 531 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: after that. It's not the same dog. But it's a 532 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: particular source of self indulgent more money than sense madness. 533 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: And that's that's the one chink in the armor of 534 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: my hero Javier Milai. Didn't he clone his dog five 535 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: He's got the city, He had a favorite dog, and 536 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: he's got five of exactly this and no kids. So 537 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: that is weird thing about it. But anyway, I don't 538 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: want get hung up on that any port in a storm. 539 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, and Tom Brady's invested in this corporation that 540 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: will do it. And from what I understand, I have 541 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: no idea how true this is, particularly among the wealthy. 542 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: Cloning their beloved fufu who passed away is a thing 543 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: because you're stupid and think it's going to be the 544 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: same dog. It's a weird sort of conceit to think 545 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: that foofu was just so special. She was the most 546 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: special dog ever. I mean, I've got to say that. 547 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: Because I'm a rich person, I can't say, you know, 548 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: the dogs are great. The dog's a dog. The next 549 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: one will be as good as this one. From them, 550 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no, yeah, go save another dog. 551 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: Hit the shelter. That's a good way ball mix. There's 552 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: plenty of them, no kidding them, yeah, no kidding. Dog. 553 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: Do you serve a three hundred and fifty dollars bottle 554 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: of wine when there are plenty of seventy five dollars 555 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: bottles that Everybody's good. It's the same answer to a 556 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: different question to show showing how rich you are, don't you, 557 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: uh yeah, no kidding, Particularly in Tom Brady's case. You 558 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: need a pit bull mix, go to your local shelter, 559 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: maybe not where he lives, but drive a little further 560 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: outside of town from where you live and go to 561 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: a shelter. There are lots of pit bull mixes, oh 562 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: plenty to choose from. Yeah, but that's part of the 563 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: way I stay down on earth is though I am 564 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: fabulously wealthy, I generally drink prison toilet pruno.

It's not a multi 568 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: It keeps me connected to you common people. You know 569 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: that reminds me. You're a I'm choking.
