WEBVTT - The A&G Replay Tuesday Hour Three 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:01.200 Not live. 0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:03.680 It's from Studio C Armstrong in Getty and. 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:06.560 We're off for a couple of weeks. We're taking a break. 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:08.880 Come on, you get a break, We get a break. 0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:11.559 We'll be back live for twenty five. Enjoy this carefully 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.720 curated Armstrong and Getty replayed and as long as we're 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:17.360 off traps you'd like to catch up on podcasts, subscribe 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:20.200 to Armstrong in Getty on demand or one more thing. 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:22.840 We think you'll enjoy it. Certain it's essentially a buzzer 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:24.200 that they're employing. 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:26.720 This is especially important at American Airlines because it's the 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:30.040 biggest airline in the US. They have nine different boarding groups, 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.519 which makes it sort of especially confusing for folks. The 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:34.720 problem is people who are jumping the line. It's known 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.400 as gate lice. That is there called gate lines, and 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.800 that is the term that the airline uses in some cases. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.680 It's primarily something that bloggers have come up with, people 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:45.559 who hang around the front of the human eye. It 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:47.440 is kind of yes, I don't want to be allowed 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.400 to either. But the big thing here is that if 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.640 you scan your boarding pass that American is trying this 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.920 new technology on, it'll sound an alarm and make it 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:57.120 so that you go to the back of the line 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:58.200 and they can come back in when. 0:00:58.040 --> 0:00:58.680 Your group is called. 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.760 Okay, this is you're already through security, you're you're up 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.279 there at your plane and they say it's time to board, 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:07.720 but you're group three and you try to get up 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.440 there with group one and they call you gate lice, 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:15.440 and Jake Tapper ridiculously says, sort of dehumanizing whatever, Jake 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:21.160 who worries about crap like that, that's just whatever, Okay, 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.040 I just call you jerks or a holes. 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.160 It's the same thing. Get in when your group is. 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.160 If you want a better group, buy your tickets earlier 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.560 or pay more or whatever. The way it works on 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:35.600 gate lices, I'm referred to them as airport apes chairs. 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.720 It's it's bored annoyed employees who deal with the public 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.920 all day long. Came up with a semi amusing nickname 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.800 to help, you know, cut into the drudgery of their 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:47.560 day a little bit. 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.840 Jake, It'll be okay, right, you know, it's the people. 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:56.160 There's you know, the amount of jyvness in media has 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:57.640 has changed a little bit. 0:01:58.320 --> 0:01:58.440 Uh. 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.920 You know, back in the day, you were utter dignified 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.360 and besuited and and and you know, obviously very clean 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.400 language and stuff like that like that, but it's besuited. 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:09.120 It's it's fine. 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.840 But like a Jake Tapper, what is it in him 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.440 that makes him think, Well, because of the nature of 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.320 my job and the people looking in the dignity of 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.320 the profession, I need to say, well, that's somewhat just 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:20.440 do humanizing. 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.320 Who's worried about that? Seriously? 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:28.640 Anyway, back to the lousy, lousy gait, who's worried about 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.680 this is another question? With Thanksgiving coming up, That's why 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.480 we're talking about all the travel. Hey, let me let 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.360 me just make a say a word in support of 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:42.880 the American Airlines. We who are in group two don't 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:48.560 wish to rub elbows with you Group three paupers, all right, know. 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:53.919 Your place Group three, four and five? All right? 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.280 And I've said, oh boy, comfort plus doesn't refer to plus. 0:02:58.320 --> 0:02:59.960 You stay back in your group. 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.160 So I'm flying on Tuesday now, lok Port. But the 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.839 point is we're going to Grandma and Grandpa's for Thanksgiving 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.080 and going to have turkey. Well, maybe you think that 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:16.360 is a horror or notes essay opinion piece in the 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.799 New York Times today what a lame duck president could 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.680 do for lame turkeys. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:23.040 Good start. 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.200 We've wondered about the presidential partning of the turkey for years. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.440 Boy, how's Biden going to pull that off? All right? 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.800 Anyway, he writes somewhat at the National Turkey Federation once 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.000 had an idea, let's send a live turkey to Harry 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:42.120 Truman for a presidential holiday feast. They thought, we'll promote 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.920 the turkey. Yeah, but was he stunt? We'll send a 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:50.440 live turkey to President Truman. Previously, some individual turkey producers 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.640 had sent their products to the president to promote them, 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.080 but the greater resources at the National Turkey Federation meant 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.000 that the story could be promoted more effectively. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.920 The turkey that was sent to Truman was killed and eaten. 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.360 Uda, Go Harry, give him hell, Harry, huh make America 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.720 great again? Back when presidents would get a life turkey 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.640 and just say cool and kill it and need it 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:18.640 barbaric and then turkeys were subsequently sent to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:22.000 who also killed and ate them. But in nineteen sixty three, 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.440 in one of us A last official acts before his assassination, 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.359 all right, god it would have been days before he 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:28.520 got his head blown apart. 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:29.599 Right ooh. 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.560 November sixty three, President John F. Kennedy, when face to 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.800 face with his live turkey, disregarded the sign hung around 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:44.520 the bird's neck that read good eating. Mister President, How 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:50.080 different is the country now than then? That they would 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.279 send a live turkey that was gonna get killed and eating, 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.000 and they put signor his neck, you know, happy eating? 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.000 There more realistic people, Yes, we were. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.240 Now you have essays in the New York Times decrying 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.000 the horror that people eat turkeys at all. 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:06.720 Anyway, John F. 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.280 Kennedy, and face to face with a live turkey, disregarded 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.680 the sign hung around his neck and said, let's keep 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.880 him going. Kennedy didn't say anything about pardoning the turkey. 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:20.760 If you excuse me, I'm gonna go stuffing intown. Right. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.600 He didn't say anything about pardoning the turkey, but the 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.880 media referred to his act as a pardon or reprieve. 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:30.800 President George H. W. 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.279 Bush was the first to pretend that a turkey was 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:34.720 receiving an official part. 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.120 And we've been doing it for the last forty years. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:41.320 Where the president comes out and. 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.280 Bestows it really is pretty gruesome if you think about it, 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:51.520 cause it's I don't mean gruesome from a Turkey standpoint, 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.960 but just the idea of a pardon of something being 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.920 put to death. There are people on death throw. There 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.240 is a big one this week where they appeal to 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.240 the governors or the president to try not to be 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.320 executed as a human being, and the governor or president 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.200 makes a decision whether or not to do that to 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.279 kind of enjoy they don't get the partner right to 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:14.320 kind of joke about that activity. I officially pardon you Turkey, 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:16.840 not that other guy earlier in the week, which they 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.000 probably didn't deserve a pardon. 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:19.239 But you're not wrong. 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.560 But to me, the pardoning the Turkey shows weakness. This 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:26.280 is why Putin invaded Ukraine, because we're not even tough 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:30.040 enough to execute our guilty. Turkey is guilty of delicious. 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:30.520 I agree. 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.119 This is where the essay in the New York Times 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.640 turns really stupid. We pardon people for crimes they have committed. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.600 Modern law has long abandoned the view that animals can 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.719 commit crimes. That makes it impossible to take seriously the 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.360 idea that turkeys need to be pardoned no matter what 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.080 they have done. But the annual is it just me? 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.640 Or are you waiting for a punchline too? This can't 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:54.760 possibly be serious. Yeah me, I'm waiting for it. But 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.000 the annual presidential pardon is doubly absurd because no one 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.039 has ever claimed the turkeys said to the president have 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.680 done anything wrong, not even in the sense that your 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.000 cat does something wrong when she punishes you for going 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.880 on vacation by using your bed as her litter box. Now, 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.000 this is very dry humor, very very dry. How to 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.440 avoid dry turkey breasts at the table coming up next? 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:17.040 Stay with us? 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.280 And then it goes into how about these turkey producers 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.160 have received millions of dollars as a subsidy for something 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.760 or other after sending the turkeys to It's. 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.440 Just it's all connonvoluted. I guess I'm supposed to be 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.080 upset about this in some way. 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.680 Oh boy, let me pencil that in in my list 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.080 of things to be worried about. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.080 Right after I don't even know. 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.840 And then it gets into the good reasons some people 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.640 choose not to eat turkeys. Turkeys eaten by Americans today 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.280 are nothing like wild turkeys eaten by the early European settlers. 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.880 And how turkeys are not treated well, and there are 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.440 other things you could eat. Remember our old newsman Marshall 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.880 used to go to a tofur tofu turkey thing. That's 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.000 some toe turkey tofurky. That's some vegetarian friend of is 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:06.880 put together. I don't doubt that the turkeys are not 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.080 treated in the best way. 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:10.280 It doesn't surprise me. 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.760 Okay, I've penciled in concern about this right below. The 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.960 laces in my golf shoes get dirty and I have 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.440 to take them out to launder them. Well, I'll read 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.520 you the last paragraph of this serious thing. If we 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.120 insist on sticking with the idea of pardoning someone for Thanksgiving, 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.080 it's the heads of the giant corporations profiting from the 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.400 industrial production of turkeys who are in need of a pardon. 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.520 But to deserve it, they would first have to show 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:41.439 remorse for what they have done. Okay, well, you're fun 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:48.880 at a party. How hilarious is that they're bothered by 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:55.680 the pardoning of the turkeys fun at a gathering? I 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.280 was reading this piece. It's actually a decent piece about 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:03.240 how more and more people seem to be a semi sober. 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:07.280 They're like drinking more mindfully or less frequently, as the 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.320 medical establishment has said, you know, even one glass of wine, 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.480 it's not good for you. Alcohol is just not good 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.160 for you. And people are being more mindful. And this 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.640 woman is talking about you know, I've actually enjoyed it 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.559 more and blah blah blah. 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.800 And I was thinking of the person who's just a 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.120 drag at a party, like, if that guy shows up, 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:26.559 I'm leaving. Sorry, Grandma. 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.120 I know you've only got a week to live, but 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.080 I'm not hanging out with that idiot. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.080 Sorry. Wow, if you're an. 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:38.880 Introvert, a little nip or two, that's how I get 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:39.280 through it. 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.559 So is the Is it like sweeping the nation that 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.760 being concerned about drinking or is it just a no? 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:50.640 I think it's absolutely on the increase. Young people are 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.960 drinking less than all the generations before them, partly because 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.880 they're giving themselves psychosist with the pot. Not universally. But 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.040 I think attitudes on alcohol evolving. 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:01.800 No doubt. Interesting. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:07.160 Well, it is after what a couple decades, certainly a 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.760 decade of being told oh wow, by if you aren't 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.000 drinking red wine, you're being awful to your children because 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.320 it's gonna make your heart so much healthier than they 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:16.760 decided what a couple of years ago. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.439 Ah, we were wrong about all that. Sorry, sorry, we're 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.880 not gonna not gonna hurt you the red wine, but 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.040 any alcohol is bad. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:27.160 Yeah, that's that was yet another reason why I ignore 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.559 most studies about any sort of. 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:33.079 Hell thing anything. They changed their mind so many times 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:33.600 in my life. 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.680 How do you not roll your eyes at any study 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:40.959 about this food or diet or drink or whatever based 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.960 on wait and see, wait a long time and see. 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.120 Speaking of which fruit loops are going to be the 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.920 center of the great controversy of next year, the humble 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.400 fruit loop, No damn fruit anywhere near him, by the way, 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.240 as RFK Junior is really hammering on processed foods and 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:00.920 artificial die and that sort of thing. 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:02.160 Got some details on that. 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.680 Plus the armstrung and getty Court of Justice, we'll swing 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:10.199 into action and rejudge. Juicy smolet hey Anson CBS has 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:16.439 an interview with the first transgender congresswoman. Uh be kind 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.720 of interested to hear what she's talking about. If they 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:23.160 get into that whole bathroom. Her fluffel that you can't 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.439 become a woman by taking hormones and getting surgeries. That's 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.840 a medical impossibility. Well, she's got long hair and female 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:34.360 clothes on. I'm looking at her up there. I've not 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:39.000 personally looked under her skirt. Again, you can do anything 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.280 you want under the skirt. It does not change the 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:45.960 sex of the person involved. How recently did she transition? 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.000 Do we know this? Uh? 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.400 No, she didn't like run as a dude and is 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.960 now a chick or anything like that, right, isn't that reason? 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.680 Well? No, if she was ever a dude, she's not 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:57.120 a chick. 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:57.319 Now. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:58.560 I think you're missing the point. 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:04.160 I think I get your the journalist writing about their 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.440 little kid playing with chat GPT, and I wonder if 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.400 this is going to be the future of parenting for 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.880 some people. Just watched my five year old son chat 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.640 with chat GPT advanced voice mode for over forty five minutes. 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.360 It started with a question about how cars were made. 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.960 It explained it in a way that he could understand. 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.560 He started peppering it with questions, and he told it 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.840 about his teacher and that he was learning to count. 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.080 Chat GPT started quizzing him on counting and egging on 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.240 and making it into a game. He was laughing and 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:36.000 having a blast and obviously never lost patience with him. 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.760 I think this is going to be revolutionary, the essentially free, 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:45.320 infinitely patient, super genius teacher slash parent that calibrates itself 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.160 perfectly to your kids learning style and pace. I'm excited 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.400 about the future. The slash parent part bothered me. 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:52.960 I don't know what to thing about that. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:58.079 It's an interactive book, like a really really good interactive book. 0:12:58.160 --> 0:12:59.760 If you look at it that way, it's not as 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.599 dis disturbing. If you look at it as a substitute 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:09.120 for a human that makes us all weird, then it 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:13.360 bothers me. If it's a substitute for all a human relationship, 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:16.960 that's the feeling it takes on. Yet, if there's no 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.240 human involved, that weirds me out. But if you look 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.200 at it as an interactive book, then it's fine. Teacher 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.959 student is a human relationship. I'm just sure trying to 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.440 figure out where exactly I stand on this. I'm not 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.160 exactly sure where I was. That's why I brought it. 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.480 I thought this might be cool, this might be awful, 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.040 this might be the end of society. It might be 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.280 great for kids. I have no idea which well, if 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.439 the kid who likes to count, grows up, puts this 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.440 thing's voice in a sex doll, and marries it. And 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:45.440 then then it's disturbing if it's just an interactive learning tool, 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:54.680 for instance. Yeah, yeah, you know, I've got this. You know, 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.320 I love being alive, and I'm having a lot of fun, 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:58.319 even on my bad days. 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:03.959 But I kind of I picture like my last day 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:08.360 on Earth, looking around and thinking, good luck, y'all you kidding, Yeah, 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.280 you know, no country for old men, man, Yeah, good luck. 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:13.480 Although I'd sure like to see how some of this 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.720 plays out, just purely out of curiosity. 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:16.720 Yes, I think that a lot. 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:18.200 I hope I live long enough to see how this 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:19.920 turns out or that turns out, or this turns out, 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:21.160 no doubt about it. 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.760 Huh. Okay, we'll see what happens. 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.440 I think you'll have I think as many kids will 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:33.360 have this interactive book. That's fantastic. There might be more. 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:36.600 See that was a five year old. There might be 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:41.400 more twenty five year olds that have a GPT girlfriend 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.359 rather than a real relationship. 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.760 And uh and then that, yeah, the other end of it. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:49.960 Maybe then there'll be no more humans except in the 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.400 Third world, and they'll overrun the Western world. That's just 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:53.520 the way things go. Yah. 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.600 Do you want to hear a really disturbing note on 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:57.920 that topic? Who doesn't? 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.960 And this is uh? And this I think is undeniable 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:06.800 as I look at the Internet and all given well, 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.000 assuming that there are evil people and will always be 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:16.880 evil people, the more effective and advanced modes of communication get, 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:22.160 the more effective evildoers are and indoctrinating people into evil. 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.080 Now you would the obvious counter to that as well, 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.040 what about good people helping people understand what is good? 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:30.800 Yeah? True? 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:36.200 Maybe it's just that we the reasonable insane if I'm 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:42.520 and sane or insane and sane, And also saying denunciation 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:46.720 is so important, Jack, we both agree on that that 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:53.600 we let the educational complex become radical and radicalize the students, 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.080 and the internet's a big part of that. I just 0:15:56.360 --> 0:16:00.960 I think the more advanced communication gets, the more the 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:05.280 evil doers will use those advances to indoctrinate, like. 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:06.640 That little kid who likes to count. 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.840 I mean, when he's in high school and and he's 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:15.240 now he's into physics. Actually, will the teachers are involved 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.280 programming that stuff? Slip them a little intersectionality and a 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.840 little you know, Johnny, do you ever feel like a girl. 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.960 You know, I just Trump had thirty seven felonies. Let's 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:28.640 count to thirty seven, that sort of thing. Yeah, it's 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.200 it goes back to my hole. The tree of knowledge 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:38.040 is technology, no truth, the Internet or AI or something. Yeah, 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.840 I don't know the fruit of the tree of knowledge, 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.720 I should say from the from Genesis, the Carmaker, the 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:45.680 Biblical book. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:55.880 I'm done now, I think, do you have so much 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.240 to squeeze in this hour and the whole show? Hoping 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:02.360 stay tuned. But we ran this clip once and. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.600 Got so much reactions, so many requests to hear it again, 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.800 we thought, all right, why not. Jared Bernstein is the 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.119 voice you're going to hear responding to question. He is 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:15.959 the chairman of the of the President's Economic Advisory Council. 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.399 He is the Chief Economic Advisor to the President of 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:20.720 the United States, Joseph R. 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.159 Biden, d Delaware. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.280 And it's amazing, Michael, like you said, they print the dollars, 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:29.520 so why does the government even. 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.160 Borrow well. 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:38.320 The so the I mean again, some of this stuff 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:42.480 gets some of the language that the some of the 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.880 language and concepts are just confusing. I mean, the government 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.920 definitely prints money and it definitely lends that money, which 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.040 is why the government definitely prints money, and then it 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.320 lends that money by selling bonds. 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:56.560 Is that what they do? 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:05.360 They they Yeah, they they sell bonds. Yeah, they sell bonds, right, 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.359 since they sell bonds and people buy the bonds and 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:08.119 lend them the money. 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:08.720 Yeah. 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:12.240 So a lot of times, a lot of times, at 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:14.760 least to my year with MMT, the language and the 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:18.680 concepts can be unnecessarily confusing, But there is no question 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.639 that the government prints money and then it uses that 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:30.960 money to So yeah, I guess I'm just I don't 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:32.879 I can't really talk it, don't. I don't get it. 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:35.560 I don't know what they're talking about, like, because it's like, 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.320 the government clearly prints money, it does it all the time, 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.520 and it clearly borrows. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.800 debt and deafist conversation. So I don't think there's anything 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:47.520 confusing there. 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:50.640 And what's this position again, he's the chairman of the 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:52.199 Council of Economic Advisors. 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:53.840 Does anybody have any questions? 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:57.320 So when we first played that, and when I first 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.000 heard the first part of it, I thought, Okay, this 0:18:59.040 --> 0:18:59.600 is a guy. 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.280 That's just so in the weeds and so knowledgeable. He's 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:03.360 trying to figure out how to. 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.480 Dumb it down is to coarse, but you know, just 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:09.359 to present it in a way that a layman can 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.800 understand it. But then it becomes completely clear when he 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:12.560 starts saying. 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:12.840 Is that right? 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.760 I don't know that's a good That he actually doesn't know? 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.800 That was just bizarre. He makes reference to MMT, which, 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.840 if you're not familiar with it, it's a modern monetary theory. 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:29.399 It is a fringe left AOC theory that governments can 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:31.720 go into as much debt as they want to just 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.679 keep spending and spending because you can always grow the 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:39.120 economy faster than your interest payments, and that gets everybody employed. 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.560 It's super popular with green new dealers. But man, it 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:43.440 is a fringe way of looking at But how is 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:48.359 that going? An economic advisor of any kind who answers 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:52.000 a question like that. The only answer I can come 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:53.520 up with, and I'm not sure it's a great one, 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:58.440 but is that he didn't want to say, plainly, we 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:02.480 spend more than we take and borrow the balance because 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:06.840 that's how we buy votes. We're just we're just spending 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.320 money to stay in power and we'll have. 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:10.240 To pay it back eventually. 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:11.920 But as long as it doesn't happen on our watch, 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:15.320 as long as the disaster, the foreclosure doesn't happen on 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.920 our watch, we don't care. I don't know if you're 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:20.440 right or if you're giving him too much credit. It's 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.960 possible that he just had the right politics and so 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.359 they put him in that position and he's actually not 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:28.520 good at his job, like he's a major donor or 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:30.639 something I don't know, or tied to the right people. 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:32.840 I don't know. Yeah, that was that was crazy. It is. 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:34.960 It's amazing. That's the second time I heard it, and 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:35.920 it's just as amazing. 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:44.840 Yeah, are an expert in this? That's your answer? Where 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:46.919 are the adults? All right? 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:48.600 I gotta move on. I don't say about that. I 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:50.280 got I want to tease this because I'm gonna get 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:50.600
