00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and

3
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: Joie and he.

4
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 2: Arms You get it. Have you been watching the four

5
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: X markets? The four X markets? You haven't been watching

6
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: the four x markets? You should be live from Studio C.

7
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: He dimly let room beg with in the bowels of

8
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: the Armstrong in any communications compound, they were under the tube.

9
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: Ledge of not talking about tariffs, that's our general manager.

10
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: Our general manager is the concept of not talking about tariffs.

11
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: As I immediately launch into just the tiniest bit of

12
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: talk to explain why we're not going to talk about Terrek.

13
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: I was just reading this thing about from some supposed

14
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: expert about the four X markets. It's all capitals FORI

15
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: ex a phrase, I've are a word the term I

16
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: guess it's an acronym I've never seen before in my life.

17
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: And how you need to understand those markets. And I mean,

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: I knew this weeks ago. I've known this my whole life.

19
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: I don't know much about this stuff. And just because

20
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: it's the number one story in the world right now,

21
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: I've decided, you know, I'm not going to try to

22
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: get my AA degree in this by reading up on it.

23
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: It'll come and go as a story. I'll repeat things

24
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: that other smart people say and you can sort it

25
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: out on your own or whatever. It's not my area

26
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,279
Speaker 2: of expertise or interest for that matter, but I became

27
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: aware of reading a couple of things today from smart people.

28
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: It's just it's so incredibly flipp and complicated. I gotta

29
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: believe the massed, the mass amount of people you hear

30
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: commenting on this don't know what they're talking about. That's

31
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: got to be the case anyway.

32
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: The other one thing that is worth mentioning that happened overnight. Oh,

34
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: Joe's at the Master's Golf Tournament, which is the biggest

35
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: golf tournament of the year. If you're not into golf,

36
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 2: it's a really really big deal, very very hard ticket

37
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 2: to get. He's there today only, but he's uh, he's

38
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: going to call in later, we think overnight. So Uh,

39
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: Trump announced yesterday, no made a miss. People are reporting

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: this wrong. Are tariffs on China are not one hundred

41
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: and twenty five percent, They're one hundred and forty five

42
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: percent or forty eight percent or whatever. It is, but

43
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: it's much higher. It's a lot, very very high. So

44
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: everything going into China, are coming in from China has

45
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: a one hundred and forty five percent tariff on it,

46
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: close to that. So China announced overnight while you were asleep,

47
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: everything going into their country from the United States now

48
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: has a one hundred and twenty five percent tariff on it.

49
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: So it is. It was already, but it is now

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: a full blown trade war between the two biggest economies

51
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: that have ever existed on playing earth full board trade war.

52
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: The analysis beyond that, I'm not capable of doing it.

53
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: I'm not smart enough, but it should be exciting to

54
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: watch and see what things start to cost to come

55
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: in from China. That is the end of my commentary

56
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: on the trade war. Spilled coffee all over myself driving

57
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 2: to work today, and I've yet to find a travel

58
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: mug sort of thing that I can drink out of successfully.

59
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: I just can't.

60
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: So, I mean, there are quite a few of them.

61
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: The lids on most of them are built in such

62
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: a way that you have to tilt your head back

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: to be able to get the liquid to come out,

64
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: and then you're staring up in the air and you

65
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: can't see the road if I drink out of a

66
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: regular cup, which is what I've always done, and Joe

67
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: has always said, why don't you have some sort of

68
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: travel mug with the lid. I just drink out of

69
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: a regular coffee cup because you can just tilt it

70
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: a little bit to drink. Okay, see look here, I'll

71
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: show you. See this lid only flips up this far. Yeah,

72
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: so it's against my nose already. Okay, so you can't

73
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: get any liquid to come out. It's almost vertical. Still.

74
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm problematic. I see that.

75
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: So to get liquid to come on, I've got to

76
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: get tilted at least this far. Uh.

77
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that doesn't work, in which case I'm staring straight

78
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: up in the air. Have you considered a straw hot coffee?

79
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: But maybe this is an official Starbucks mug too, and

80
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: it wasn't cheap thirty bucks.

81
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: This is this is quite the conundrum.

82
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: Thirty bucks thirty bucks. Yeah, because it's just Starbucks on it.

83
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 4: I'm disappointed in you.

84
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: I'm disappointed in me on a daily basis. The other

85
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: thing I wanted to talk about is a corporate training

86
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: that we all have to take. Because I spent a

87
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: good hour and a half yes day on some corporate training.

88
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: And I know every corporation does that. It is not

89
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: a complaint about my corporation that employs me, and I'm

90
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 2: very happy about it and the wage we agreed on

91
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: and everything. I have no complaints about that. I know

92
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: every corporation does this, so this is not unique. But

93
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: everybody I know also complains about it. And this is

94
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: the sort of thing I wish Doge could get rid of.

95
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 2: How many man hours are wasted every quarter or every

96
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: year on training for your various industry that, from what

97
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: I hear from y'all, is the same as it is

98
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: with ours. It's completely worthless. I mean, there's no there's

99
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 2: no real anything to it. I've always assumed it's just

100
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: it's a way to get straight with the lawyers, so

101
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: that if suddenly does sexually harass somebody or steal office

102
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: equipment or whatever, you can't come back and say, well,

103
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: I didn't know and sue the corporation. The corporation can say, yes,

104
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: we trained you in this, and you signed a little

105
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 2: certificate that says you were trained in it.

106
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: I don't understand the tactic of turning power points with

107
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: words that I can read into a video that I

108
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: have to sit through as the words scroll by, and

109
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: I listen to someone else read them to me.

110
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: I wonder, man, ours aren't as long as the governments.

111
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: I have a friend who works in almost of the

112
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: agency I shouldn't in one of the government agencies, and

113
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 2: there's a really long I wonder if lawyers said, no,

114
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: it's got to be at least forty minutes long for

115
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: courts to believe that you trained them. I wonder if

116
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: there's something like that, because it does seem, yeah, like

117
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: they go out of their way to drag it out

118
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: something you could read in ten minutes. They talk very

119
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: very slowly to make it last longer. Yes. Yeah, back

120
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: in the day, some of them you could actually fast

121
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: forward that. Not that I ever did that, but right,

122
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: you wouldn't do that, Oh, of course, not because he's conscientious. Yeah,

123
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: that's right. Early days of doing these online, you can

124
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 2: just click to the end. Now you got to let

125
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: them roll in real time. And I assume everybody does

126
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: them the same way I do. You Press play, you

127
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: go do your laundry, you come back. Okay, that one's

128
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: that made it to the end. Press play again, come back,

129
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: later until you're done. And everybody does that, and everybody

130
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: knows everybody does that, including the bosses at every company.

131
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: So what are we doing.

132
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: It's got to be legal, I know it is, but

133
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: even so it's a joke.

134
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: It's just it makes me angry on that level. It's

135
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: not the time it takes. I've hated this since I

136
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: was a kid. I don't like pretending. I don't like

137
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: everybody lying to themselves. It's like an orwell thing. I

138
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: just I don't like us all sitting around and pretending

139
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 2: this isn't silly. It makes me nuts. And everybody knows it's.

140
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 5: Ridiculous, and your boss knows it's ridiculous, and your boss's

141
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 5: boss knows it's ridiculous, and yet we all do it

142
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 5: in every corporation. I don't know how many times you

143
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 5: have to do it per year, with all the training

144
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: hours and hours of it.

145
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: It makes me crazy. This is the sort of thing

146
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: dods should be able to get rid of. You know,

147
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: they tally up every March madness. They say four point

148
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: three billion dollars worth of productivity will be lost this

149
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: year as people fill out their brackets at work. How

150
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: many billions of dollars are productivity are lost from these

151
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: training things that accomplish nothing. Actually, there are studies that

152
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: show that after sexual harassment training, sexual harassment goes up.

153
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: There have been multiple studies show that. I don't quite

154
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: understand why that would be, because it's like a how too,

155
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 2: you're looking hot because you can't say, oh, that's bad.

156
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: You see you guys say that and you think that's

157
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: a pretty good line. Is that what happens? I don't

158
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: quite understand.

159
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't tried that one yet.

160
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: Our main training in our industry first month, So I'm

161
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: sure this is true in whatever industry you are. It's

162
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: so like anachronistic or antiquated or whatever about things that

163
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: used to be true years ago or or never occurreding

164
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: Like luckily, Michael, Katie and I have been trained recently

165
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: this week not to go down to a dock and

166
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: bribe a dock worker as they unload a boat, which

167
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 2: I was really considering doing. Yeah, I was very close

168
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: until I saw that video and then I went, oh,

169
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: I can't do that. I'm not supposed to go down

170
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: to the dock where they unload giant containerships, bribe dock

171
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: workers and bring stuff to the radio stay.

172
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 4: I had to come up with something else. It's just awful.

173
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not complaining about my company. I'm happy with

174
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: my company. I just sang. Every corporation in America does this,

175
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: and it's a waste of time and money. Yes, Michael,

176
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: if bosses are listening, I find him joyful and I

177
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: really enjoy this stuff. You wish there were more? Yeah,

178
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 2: I do. Yes, it's hilarious. I mean it's It would

179
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: be hilarious if it didn't take up so much time.

180
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Anyway, if you have those, let me

181
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 2: know what you get trained in in your industry and

182
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,760

Speaker 2: been wanting to talk to Mikelines for a long time

187
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: because this is a bunch of military stuff going on.

188
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: We haven't talked to him in weeks. I can't wait

189
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: to do that official start of the show. I'm Jack Armstrong,

190
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: He's Joe Getty on this It is Friday, April the eleventh.

191

Speaker 2: Here twenty twenty five. We are Armstrong and Geeddy and

192
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,760

193
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 2: into the weekend at Mark.

194
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 6: Texas is investigating Kellogg's over his healthy products containing artificial

195
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 6: flavors and dies. Come on, please, you should know it's

196
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 6: not healthy when they have to spell fruit with two o's.

197
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: I mean, give me a smile. You're going to miss

198
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: the dies when they're gone. Maybe they're all killing us.

199
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: Maybe the dyes are giving us cancer and they should go.

200
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: But you get rid of the dies, and everything's just

201
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: kind of a gray or a brown, not appetizing. Yeah,

202
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 2: I don't think people are going to enjoy that. What

203
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: color would a pop tart be in its natural form

204
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: and all the ingredients so that it'd be some sort

205
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 2: of gray sludge instead of a brown crust. I think

206
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: same with your fruit loops. Some of the other guests,

207
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: we were going to talk to somebody about this giant

208
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 2: legislation bill that they're trying to get through. Possibly some

209
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: of this terrorist stuff is to hide the fact that

210
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: they're trying to renew the Trump tax cuts, which is

211
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: a really really big deal for everybody who pays taxes

212
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: and for the economy and the Democrats hate it. I

213
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: paid my tax bill yesterday for the year, wrote the

214
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: biggest check I've ever written in my life. And I

215
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 2: just gotta love taxes. Gotta love them. And then when

216
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: you come to work and talk about all the ways

217
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: that they waste your taxes.

218
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: MMMM.

219
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: Makes it even more enjoyable when you find out that

220
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: big chunk of money that you spent is being used unwisely.

221
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: M Doesn't that feel good? Warms your warms and cockles

222

225
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: Katie's headlines all the way stay with us. Just from

227
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: endorsement of President Trump's Secretary of the Interior. Wow, God

228
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: of world do we live in? Well? ARII is a

229
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: pretty uh hippie dippy store. I really like it, But

230
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 2: they couldn't handle Trump's Secretary of Interior. Whoever the heck?

231
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: That is? All right, let's find out what the headlines

232

Speaker 2: are with Katy Green.

233
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,120

Speaker 3: New York City helicopter crash.

236
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 2: Well, part of the reason, it's the top stories that

237
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: happened in New York, So things that happen in New

238
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: York always end up being the top story. It's a

239
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: terrible story, but it has no greater significance to anyone's life.

240
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 4: The video is awful.

241
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,480

Speaker 2: take for you right before you get on the helicopter

245
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: trip and then there are a few minutes later they

246
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: were dead. What a horrible, horrible deal. The road just

247
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 2: broke off you. That's the end of that.

248
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,559

Speaker 4: Salvador prison.

256
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: That's a heck of a deal. To their credit, the

257
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: Trump people announced that they had made a mistake. Once

258
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 2: they figured it out, they didn't claim that they didn't.

259
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: But now the Supreme Court is saying it's on them

Speaker 2: wouldn't want to be there in there for an hour,

264

Speaker 2: let alone weeks. No, geez, he's gonna and you know

284
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 3: I they didn't get into all that detail. They were

285
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: just talking about the events themselves.

286
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: Wow. Unless they go out of their way to rig

287
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: it is, aren't the dudes just gonna dominate that?

288
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,280

290

Speaker 2: boys can beat the best women in the world Olympic records.

292
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: It's just just a fact. I didn't know the Olympics

293
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: were in LA in twenty twenty eight.

294
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 4: That's kind of yeah.

295
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,960

Speaker 3: Biden and Butt Edge Edge.

302
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: Why would you meet with Joe Biden about anything? I

303
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: would think she would know better. I mean, I can

304
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: understand her meet with Hillary and other people, But as

305
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: she tries to decide whether she wants to run for

306
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: governor in California. Basically, her thinking is, probably, is it

307
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: one while I win, will I be embarrassed? Well, I

308
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: absolutely embarrassed. The embarrassed and the embarrassment would come in

309
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: not getting the nomination. I think other Democrats run in

310
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:01,120

Speaker 4: The Long Island iced tea.

326
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: Oh, because it's got so much booze in it.

327
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: They say, people drinking those are looking to black out.

328
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was aware of that back when

329
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: I used drink if I was with somebody who's drinking

330
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: Long Island iced teas, I realize you are going to

331
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: get wasted.

332
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,200

Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to talk about that. That gets a

336
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: lot of joking. But don't be messing with our water pressure,

337
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: you nanny staters. And that's so red. That's what the

338
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: founding fathers had in mind, is the federal government deciding

339
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: how much water pressure you should have in your shower. Okay,

340
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 2: we got clips of the week coming up in a

341
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:23,160

00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: mug I had and suggested, the yetti coffee mug is

344
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: the best. The way you'd turn it to the side,

345
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 2: you'd have to tip it up so much. There you go.

346
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 2: That might be my answer today. Those are expensive, though.

347
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 4: Not more expensive than your Starbucks got thirty.

348
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: Bucks probably not mm got this text. I don't know

349
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: if I agree with them, but it's a decent point.

350
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 2: I would gladly stay in an El Salvador in prison

351
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: for three weeks to earn the payout that he's gonna

352
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: get from this lawsuit. I hadn't thought about that. It

353
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: could be epic apic. He's he could be the one

354
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 2: of the bigger payouts ever. Yeah, I don't know. It

355
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: could be pretty awful. And that is Salvador in prison

356
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: if you get out alive. But yeah, he is gonna

357
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: get a ton of money. I hadn't even thought about that.

358
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,320

363
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,320

Speaker 2: weren't imploding last night.

400
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 9: Well, I thought that people were jumping a little bit

00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 9: out of line.

402
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,080

00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 3: Any of you in the media clearly missed the art

405
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 3: of the deal.

406
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 2: This was his strategy. Spacing off and daydreaming is incredibly

407
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 2: important as a sleep. Hope you are well or all no?

408

00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 2: that handy the Joe called that the worst moment in

411
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: thirty years of working together.

412
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 3: Hope you are well or all no? On the something

413
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 3: you were trying to say, Narwals.

414
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 2: Something happened with my mouth. I don't remember what I

415
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: was trying to say.

416
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 4: You're trying to say the word alternative.

417
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but for whatever reason, man, my tongue like swoll

418
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: to twice its normal size immediately, like I got stung

419
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: by a bee or something.

420
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 4: Are well or all no?

421
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 8: On the.

422
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 4: You know the we're here laughing at you?

423
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 3: And then the amountic concern that came in on like

424
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 3: Facebook and Twitter, like is Jack is Jack okay, you know,

425
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: you know all the signs of like a you know.

426
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 4: A medical emergency. I'm like, right, thank, he's fine.

427
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 3: Right.

428
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: Remember years ago that woman that started talking really funny

429
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: like that she was having a stroke on camera and

430
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 2: I was not. But it is a little disturbing. I mean,

431
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 2: when you when you talk for a living for whatever reason,

432
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: if you're born with a brain that that doesn't happen

433
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: very often. It's disturbing if it happens, because you know,

434
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 2: some people can't do that, like if you're a if

435
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 2: you're a you know, if I as a politician running

436
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: for all, if you're in a debate presidential debate and

437
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 2: you do what I did right there? Play that again.

438
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 2: I hope you are well or all now on the

439
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: men that happen with Joe Biden, right, but I mean

440
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 2: that would get put to music and they'd be talking

441
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 2: about it on Jimmy Kimmel. I hope you are well

442
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: or all? No, all, my god, it almost hurts for

443
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 2: me to hear it because I can like feel my

444
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: mouth just oh that was rough.

445
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 4: Well, it was funny.

446
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: Was Michael following you into the newsroom asking if you

447
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 3: wanted him to drive you home.

448
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 2: I was just concerned. Oh wow, yeah, I heard about

449
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: that yesterday from a few people. I'm okay, I think,

450
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: and although I've never done that before, if it happens

451
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: again today, I'll probably have to go see a doctor

452
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: of some sort. I hate to get into this on

453
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: a Friday, but I want to bring this up. Just see,

454
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 2: have your eyeballs out for it, and you can text,

455
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: emailert I was about to say, call, we haven't taken

456
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: a call in years. Text or email next week if

457
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: you come across this. So the Wall Street Journal pointing

458
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 2: out this is their editorial board. What investors know is

459
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 2: that the trade war China announced overnight they're up in

460
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: They're tariffs on American goods coming into one hundred and

461
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: twenty five percent. Now, so you know you're not paying that.

462
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: But if that causes all kinds of buyers in China

463
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: to think, well, I'm not going to buy the American

464
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: good anymore. I'll buy the same version from somewhere else,

465
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: then our companies are selling a lot stuff, so that

466
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 2: less stuff, so that will have an effect. Also. Anyway,

467
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 2: let me just read this. I keep interrupting myself. What

468
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: investors know is that the trade wars far from over,

469
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: and damage persists even with the ninety day pause. The

470
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 2: tariffs that continue are the largest tax increase in the

471
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: United States since nineteen eighty two. They're bigger than Bill

472
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: Clinton's ninety three tax increase and George HW Bush's nineteen

473
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 2: ninety tax increase. Taxes are antigrowth. The Wall Street Journal

474
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: is saying what a lot of people say is that

475
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 2: tariffs are taxes in effect, because when you say there

476
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 2: is a tariff of x percent on things coming from

477
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 2: a country, the company involved that has to pay this

478
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 2: tariff passes it along to the consumer because you have

479
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: no choice because you're already operating as leanly as you

480
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 2: possibly can if you've got any competition. So a good

481
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: chunk of it is going to be paid by us.

482
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: So the reason I wanted to throw that out there is,

483
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: you know, when when will you I start seeing these

484
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: things showing up in products that we buy, Like you

485
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: go to Amazon and pick something out and say, WHOA,

486
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 2: I don't remember that costing that much. Remember what inflation

487
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 2: was like every time you went to the grocery store

488
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: or McDonald's or whatever, and you go, WHOA, that's how

489
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: much is that going to start happening again here in

490
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks with everything from China every

491
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 2: time you go to Walmart or whatever. I I I

492
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: hope not. And if it does, what is that going

493
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 2: to do to Are people willing to hang with it?

494
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: Maybe we have the clip. I don't know if I

495
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: can find it quickly. It's blah blah blah blah blah.

496
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: Is him Hanson? What did he call the whole thing?

497
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: It wasn't growing pains, but it was a it was

498
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: a term sort of like that that we're going to

499
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: have to go through over the next couple of weeks.

500
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 2: I'll find it plane. But he had a term for

501
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 2: what we're gonna, what we're gonna, what this is, what

502
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 2: this period is going to be like. So we think

503
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: we're in very good shape. We think we're doing very

504
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 2: well again.

505
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 9: There'll be a transition cost, transition cost and transition problems,

506
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 9: but in the end it's going to be it's going

507
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,239
Speaker 9: to be a beautiful thing. We're doing again what we

508
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 9: should have done many years ago. We'll let it get

509
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 9: out of control, and we allowed some countries to get

510
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 9: very big and very rich at our expense.

511
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna can't let that happen, can't.

512
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 9: It's not a sustainable formula.

513
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 2: Uh, transition costs, that's what he's calling the extra what

514
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 2: we'll all be paying for a while, with the theory

515
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 2: being his theory being that China is gonna come around,

516
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 2: They're going to stop screwing what this the way they have,

517
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 2: and then everything will go back to the way it

518
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: was and we'll have won the battle. Wall Street Journal

519
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 2: editorial board getting back to that quickly says, by far,

520
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: the biggest problem in the global trading system is the

521
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 2: abuse of free trade rules by the authoritarian regime in China.

522
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 2: Mister Trump's scattershot tariff policy won't solve that problem so far.

523
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: He's hurting his own cause in country more than he's

524
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: hurting Chinese Communist Party. Well, I hope they're wrong and

525
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 2: Trump is right. Since this is the world that we

526
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: live in. We'll all go through this together and we'll

527
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 2: see if this transition phase gets us to a better

528
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 2: place and we all think it was worth it or not.

529
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: And I think it will be pretty obvious to everyone

530
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: which of those outcomes we get here. And I don't

531
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 2: know if this will take week, month, weeks, months or years.

532
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: It's not gonna take years, probably more like weeks or

533
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: months anyway. Corporate training seems to be a thing for

534
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: a lot of y'all. Some of these examples are hilarious.

535
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: They're all more or less stupid in a waste of time.

536
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: So we'll get to some of that coming up, and

537
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 2: some great guests an hour too. Hope you can stick

538
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 2: around today. Well, listen to this.

539
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 6: Trump just signs an executive to make America's showers great

540
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 6: again with more powerful shower heads that no longer restrict

541
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 6: water flow. Yeah, the goodness is more powerful shower heads.

542
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: Around the way. Bad news. They're home made in China.

543
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: So I mean, that's just that we can't win. I

544
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: don't mind the joke, but I don't understand why people

545
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: mock Trump for wanting to do away with that. The

546
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 2: federal government shouldn't be involved in how much water pressure

547
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: you have in your shower head. That's insane. Why do

548
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: you think that's funny that he wants to get rid

549
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 2: of those restrictions?

550
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 3: He should that they mocks They mock it because it

551
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 3: is Trump. That's the only reason this was Biden.

552
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: They'd be like, oh, yeah, there's plenty of people think

553
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: the federal government should be involved under every aspect of

554
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: your life all the time because they know better. But

555
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: it's so crazy anyway, I don't want to get a

556
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: hung up on that. I started the hour by talking

557
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: about the corporate training I had to do yesterday, once

558
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: again reiterating I love my company, h and I realize

559
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: this is something you have to do. All kinds of

560
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: speaking of federal laws and ridiculousness that they make companies do.

561
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 2: Every company does it, so I's just thrown it out

562
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: there to those of you who also have to do

563
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: corporate training. That is a complete waste of time and productivity.

564
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 2: And everyone knows it at every level. That's why it

565
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: makes me insane that goes on. The employee knows it,

566
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: your boss knows it, your boss's boss knows it. Yet

567
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: we all do it makes me crazy. Anyway, We got

568
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: a bunch of texts. I work in radiology in a hospital.

569
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: I have to take a basic radiation safety thing every

570
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: year just in case I forgot everything I was taught

571
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: in college, and use every single day. The module is

572
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: the equivalent of telling an orthopedic surgeon that humans have bones.

573
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: Grocery store employees have it the worst, redundant, long, silly

574
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: training programs that last at least an hour. Every industry

575
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: thinks theirs are the worst. I'm sure yours are bad,

576
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: just like ours are. They're a complete waste of time

577
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 2: and money, and everybody knows it, and yet we keep

578
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: doing them. A few days ago, our schoo district made

579
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: us spend thirty minutes at a faculty meeting watching a

580
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: video about the dangers of on the job indoor heat

581
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: exposure for teachers. I learned that when you're hot and thirsty,

582
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: you should drink some water. Yeah, but again, it's to

583
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: get the lawyers off your back, because if you got

584
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: woozy from being thirsty and fell and hit your head,

585
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 2: you could go in front of a jury full of

586
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: idiots and make the claim that I didn't know I

587
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: was supposed to drink. The school never told me. And

588
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 2: the school has to pay you, you know, five million dollars,

589
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: and so they have these kinds of trainings. That's what

590
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: drives it all. We've got to find our way out

591
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: of this. I'm a technician in a small shop for

592
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: a large corporation. I love this one. My manager actually

593
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 2: takes all the mandatory training for all of us so

594
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 2: that we don't lose actual production time. So the manager

595
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: probably sits at a computer and just keeps placking, clicking

596
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: play play, play play play on everybody's training, so it

597
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: will show up as having taken because he understands what

598
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 2: a complete waste of time it is.

599
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but at the end of the day, you're still

600
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 3: losing productivity because he's sitting there doing that.

601
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: True. I don't like this one. I hope this doesn't

602
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: come to us soon. I work for the City of

603
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: San Francisco. The mandatory videos we get now after each

604
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: segment ask you questions that if you miss just one,

605
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: you have to start the segment over because on our

606
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: all I did it again on all our tests, like

607
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,239
Speaker 2: if you get fifty percent, you pass. Yeah. So I mean,

608
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: I just guess. I don't listen to any of it.

609
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: I don't read it. I've never listened to or read

610
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 2: any of the training. I guess on all the multiple

611
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: choice questions, and I've always passed.

612
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

613
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: I work for a large municipal water district. Yes, the

614
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: corporate trainings can be extremely ridiculous. But really gets me

615
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: is by company, they always start off with the reminder

616
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: of the group that words can be weapons and the

617
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 2: interest of equity, be mindful of using patriarchal terms, gender neutral,

618
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. The speech is always used even

619
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 2: when the subject matter isn't controversial in any way. It's

620
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,719
Speaker 2: my numbingly idiotic and usually causes eye rolls and laughter

621
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: among the attendees. A large municipal water district and they

622
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 2: start their training with remember not to use patriarchal terms.

623
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: What the hell. I'm in low level data entry that

624
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: never travels, but I had to know how to not

625
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: mess with experiency reports or bribe people overseas. That's hilarious.

626
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: I like this one my corporate training. I work for

627
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: a Japanese manufacturer. I'm in the heating and air conditioning division,

628
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: but I have to take all the training about not

629
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 2: selling weapons to terrorists in foreign countries. It's hilarious.

630
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 4: I can see how I can get, you know, mixed

631
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 4: in there.

632
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's what I was talking about earlier, and

633
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 2: how we have to be trained every year to not

634
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: go down to the dock as they unload cargo ships

635
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: from other countries and pay off dock workers or something.

636
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: Hu And then you have to check. I understand not

637
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: to bribe dock workers, I promise. How does this happen

638
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: in every industry in the country. God, that's funny. How

639
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: much time I got, Michael depends on how you keep eating? Yeah,

640
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 2: good point. Yet two and a half do I do?

641
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: I want to get to this story and not. I'm

642
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: afraid it's going to sidetrack me. I just came across

643
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 2: this and I find it astounding. This is from the

644
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: New York Times. You'd think it was the New York

645
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 2: Post or some sort of rag that says stuff like

646
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 2: this is from the New York Times. The person who

647
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: died and boarded an R train subway at around eight pm.

648
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: According to law enforcement officials with knowledge of the matter,

649
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 2: it was unclear on Thursday win or how the person died,

650
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: So somebody got on the subway eight in the evening

651
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: and died. A man entered the same train car around

652
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: eleven at the White How South Ferry station. According to

653
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 2: the official, within forty five minutes, the man saw the

654
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: dead man and began to rummage through his pockets. Okay,

655
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: so you go over to a guy that appears to

656
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 2: be passed out or dead and you start rummaging through

657
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: his pockets, that's one thing. The man then began to

658
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: have sex with the body, according to officials and documents. Okay.

659
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: The episode occurred as New York City subways have become

660
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: a subject of national debate, with the Trump administration's Transportation

661
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: secretary pointing them out as examples of poor governance. They

662
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: have been on the site of several high profile random

663
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: attacks that have shocked the city, but crime dropped the

664
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 2: record blows in the first three months of the year,

665
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 2: they say. But anyway, as Byron new York The Washington

666
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 2: Examiner points out, sounds like the New York Times is

667
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 2: against subway necrophilia. How in the world are there enough

668
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 2: people willing to have sex with a corpse? Not only that,

669
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 2: you gotta be in the mood immediately and willing to

670
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: do it in public that if you come across a

671
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: dead body first, here's my chance.

672
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 4: I've been waiting for this my whole life found one, right.

673
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 2: How crazy is that? That is?

674
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 4: Ah?

675
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 2: Is that? What percentage of people that get on subways

676
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 2: want to have sex with a dead body? That's what

677
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 2: I would like to know. Thank you, Michael. Oh my god,

678
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,080
