<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Jeckie and he arms Wrong yet to live from Studio C.

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:39.160
<v Speaker 2>See, we got a brand new month on our hands.

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Exciting as that. Here at the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound, we.

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Are under the tudler Jibber general manager, the great, the flawed.

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>He rolls to who's that greatest hitter of all time

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>in Major League?

0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 2>BEZ ball fan for life for betting on bzbell is past.

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh he died.

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he died at the age of eighty eight, I

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 2>think for somebody eighty three eighty three, which good news

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>for him is he bet one thousand dollars it outlive

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Chris Christofferson, so that's a good payoff.

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Wow, not appropriate. I just read a phrase I didn't

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 2>know it. Let's see, I like throwing around the Latin

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 2>when I can the mortuous, nil nissy bonum of the

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>dead say nothing but good Nah. I'm more of a

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Jerry Seinfeld view of has enough of him anyway? Who

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 2>are you to argue with latin? You know I have

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 2>said this before and it's true. The biggest bias that

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>occurs in the news industry is what you cover, and

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 2>that's the one most people, I don't think get. What

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>you decide to cover is the biggest bias, and so

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 2>I try to bounce around on news. I try to

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 2>be I think like a regular person might be, although

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how.

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Many regular people do that.

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>I think maybe most people are either I only want

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>to hear the democratic side of things, or I only

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 2>want to hear the conservative side of things, so they

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 2>just stick to their own news source. Anyway, if you

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 2>were watching MSNBC today, for instance, you are completely unaware

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>of this longshoreman strike, completely unaware it is even happening.

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 2>If you watch Fox, it is the biggest story in

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 2>the country. The biggest story in the country, Bigger than

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Israel going in on the ground, bigger than the debate tonight,

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 2>is the longshoreman strike. What would be your guess as

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 2>to why Fox made such a big deal out of

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>it and MSNBC made such a small deal out of it.

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 2>You have a guess Politically, well, not shockingly, I'm going

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>to come at this from a conservative point of view,

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 2>but I think it's universally agreed that this long shoreman strike,

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 2>should it stretch beyond a very short period, will cause

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>serious economic disruption.

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>So it is absolutely a legitimate news story.

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I think the eagerness or hesitancy to cut it is

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 2>all about your attitude toward organized labor. On MSNBC, the

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>narrative of powerful union with members who make a lot

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>of money, he's going to screw up everyday americans lives

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 2>is not super attractive. Yeah, well, that's kind of the

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 2>way I was wondering. If that's the case, it's unless

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>there are some details I haven't heard yet. It looks

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>like the dock workers, the long sherman are really on

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>the wrong side of history on this all the way around.

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Their biggest sticking issue is absolutely no automation, No automation

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>at all.

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>You're going to put it in writing. Give me our.

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Jobs are going to be protected from technology forever. Give

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 2>me a freaking break. Yeah, gitting up a lot of sympathy.

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Plus they're looking for something like a seventy seven percent raise. Yeah,

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>they were offered. They were offered a fifty percent raise

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 2>and turned it down. So I don't know how that

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>plays for most of America. Either, you turn down a

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 2>fifty percent raise. I'm making about twenty percent less because

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 2>of inflation with zero rays. So right, like I say,

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 2>jeitting up sympathy for that position is going to be

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>well impossible.

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>But the whole no automation.

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 2>I understand why you want to fight that, because your

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>job's going away. I know lots of people around here

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>in the radio industry have lost their jobs automation.

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Tons of them.

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:23.599
<v Speaker 2>It's a thing, and it's it can suck. But man,

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 2>this might be the first I don't know if it

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 2>is or not, but on the leading edge of this

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.720
<v Speaker 2>getting a lot of attention because AI is going to

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 2>be this all day long, all day long, every day,

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 2>for every industry you can think of. Well, right, and unfortunately,

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 2>the prairie dogs of Cubicle America don't have powerful unions

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 2>and can't choke off commerce for weeks at a time and

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 2>bring this country to its knees. I again, I get

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 2>if I were in if I were running the union,

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>I would do exactly the same thing. If I have

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 2>the ability to pret tech my members' jobs for a

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>little while longer, I think I'm gonna try to do it.

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 2>But it's impossible to make the argument that that's better

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.039
<v Speaker 2>for the economy, that's better for American general, that's better

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.679
<v Speaker 2>for consumers, the only people. It's better for those guys

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:15.840
<v Speaker 2>with those jobs.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 1>But they can. I sympathize. I would try to do

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the same thing.

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 2>But nobody is on your side, fellas no now trying

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 2>to hold on to an antiquated way of doing things. Sorry,

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>ain't gonna work. You're striking against cars as blacksmiths because

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.359
<v Speaker 2>you want to keep shoeing horses. I just it just

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.040
<v Speaker 2>ain't gonna happen. And we can't compete with China and

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 2>whoever else if we still got human beings unloading ships

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 2>with their unbelievably generous time off and healthcare packages and

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 2>four oh one k and everything like that. I was

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 2>just reading that in the Wall Street Journal. Good lord,

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>I wish I had that deal. I should have been

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 2>a longshoreman. But we can't compete against the rest of

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 2>the world. We still got human beings unloading ships and

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 2>everybody else's got it automated, right, Yeah, yeah, of course

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.719
<v Speaker 2>it could be argued that a lot of our automation

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.360
<v Speaker 2>was made in China and has spy wear and kill

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.359
<v Speaker 2>switches and god knows what else. Probably small pox spewing

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>tanks in the board ready to do their evil bidding.

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.839
<v Speaker 1>So they think it's last part was kind of made up.

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:16.679
<v Speaker 1>Don't panic size.

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.039
<v Speaker 2>They think it's going to cost the economy about five

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars a day while the strike's going on. But

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.039
<v Speaker 2>as you said, it's the After a few days, it

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>becomes a supply chain problem super fast. If we all

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 2>remember the pandemic, whence the supply chain gets messed up,

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 2>it takes a long time to straighten it back out.

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 2>There are already ships parked out in the ocean that

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>we're supposed to unload, and then they'll start backing up

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 2>and you'll start seeing things not on the shelves, and

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 2>we know how that goes if it lasts very long.

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they got any leverage. Thirty six ports

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>are closed. I just saw up on the television. Wow,

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 2>that that is seriously a problem. Though the whole no

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 2>automation ain't going to happen. Yeesh AI is going to

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 2>cause that for paralegals, not just doc workers, for for

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 2>for budges. You can't come up with enough names of

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 2>industries that AI is going to do this too. Sure, Yeah, yeah,

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 2>and it's going to be an uncomfortable future. I still

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 2>maintain and if this is self declownment, I will readily

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.679
<v Speaker 2>admit it on the air. If I am no longer

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 2>on the air, I will write a personal letter to

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 2>each and every one of you. Clown I am. I

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>am of the mind barely because this is so not me.

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 2>I think AI will be the technology that reduces employment,

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>doesn't grow it.

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I think so too.

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Famously, the lad Heights of the world have vowed that

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 2>about every development technology throughout the ages. But it's actually

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 2>grown economies and created more opportunity than it's taken away.

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>But AI, I wonder.

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, hum, So you think the reason it's not going

0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>to covered on the lefty channels is because they ain't

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 2>in a winning position.

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah.

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 2>It makes organized labor look well indefensible. Oh yeah, you

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 2>can'ty objective standard if you're gonna just do the top

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 2>line demands. They turned down a fifty percent raise and

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 2>are asking for it.

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh f them.

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Most people are gonna say, yeah, so yeah, I think

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>so that's the way that works. They got a debate tonight.

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if that topic will come up in the debate.

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Be interesting to see how that plays out, how Walls reacts.

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden is refused to enact the Taft Tartly Law,

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 2>where he can jump in if there's a big giant

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 2>national strike that's affecting commerce and safety and all kinds

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 2>of different things, he can jump in and tell him you.

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Got to go back to work. But he says he's

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 1>not going to go. He's a good old union Joe,

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.679
<v Speaker 1>old straightened Joe, not going to do it.

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I just hope the dock workers will remain polite and

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 2>well spoken and gentle as their reputation holds through the years.

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I believe we're working on getting some clips of some

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.839
<v Speaker 2>of those genteel folks, even if we speak. I did

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 2>hear a gentleman using foul language this morning, and I

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:04.080
<v Speaker 2>didn't improve what.

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>A dock worker.

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Uh, we should start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong,

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 2>He's Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday, October. First,

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 2>the rents do there.

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>It's too damn high.

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, they used to be kind of a joy,

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 2>but now it's just one hundred percent true. I saw

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>a political ad the other day. Uh, I don't know

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 2>if it was just for California or nationally. But it

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 2>was a whole string of regular people on the street

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 2>saying the rent is too damn high.

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>The rent is too damn high. I bring the rent

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.760
<v Speaker 1>too damn high. That was the whole ad. And it

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 1>is it's too damn high.

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 2>I know mine is. Anyway, it's October first, twenty twenty four.

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 2>We are armstrong and getty, and we approve of this program.

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.679
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's rock into October officially according to CC

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 2>rules and regulations, here we go A one two three

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 2>four mark two to.

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>One bit from Shall.

0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Rotop four thousand, one hundred and ninety.

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Two baseball's all time hit. Later, Pete Rose.

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 2>They had a quite a discussion on NPR today about

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Pete Rose, the baseball player whose heyday was in the seventies,

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:17.959
<v Speaker 2>so you got to be a certain age to have

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 2>actually experienced it, about how he was such an American icon,

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>represented America, became sort of the face of America for

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people sports wise.

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was interesting.

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I'd never really thought of that before because of the

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:37.439
<v Speaker 2>whole working class Charlie Hustle thangy yeah, which I thought

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 2>he also was a kid, Yeah he was. He worked

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 2>like a maniac and played harder than anybody else. He

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>was not a prima donna by any stretch. How come

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 2>nobody else has adopted the sprint to first when you

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 2>walk thing? Because I thought that was so cool as

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 2>a kid.

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't know.

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember. I don't think anybody else has ever

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 2>done it. If he walked, he would sprint to first

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 2>instead of which is the way he went. Well, they

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 2>call it a walk. You could argue he was a

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.439
<v Speaker 2>little nutty. In fact, it's inarguable that he was a

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 2>little nutty as part of what made him great, right,

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 2>and he enjoyed the challenge of prognosticating future baseball results.

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Does that make him a bad guy?

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get into that again, but I

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 2>think it's weird if you're going to have a Hall

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.200
<v Speaker 2>of Fame that talks about baseball records, but you don't

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.760
<v Speaker 2>have the guy that's gotten the most hits and the

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 2>guy that's hitting the most home runs in there. I

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 2>don't know exactly what you're doing, but fine, well he will.

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 2>He will go in the Hall of Fame. Now I

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 2>can practice.

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Now that he's dead. Well, he was banned for life. Well,

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and you're so.

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Your argument is he's no longer alive. Yeah, an clime

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 2>ban ends when you're no longer alive. It's right in

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.560
<v Speaker 2>there in lifetime. It's right in there lifetime. Well, yes, yes,

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 2>there's no joke to be made.

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>It was exactly what it means. They just didn't want

0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 1>to give him the satisfaction.

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 2>I should violated the inviolable law gambling on your own sport.

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I ever met Pete Rose or not.

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I should have though.

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 2>If I didn't, I should have gone to Vegas sometime

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 2>when he was just an old fat man sitting at

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 2>a card table outside of casino and you know, paid

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.719
<v Speaker 2>for a baseball, shook hands with him as Michael.

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>My nephew got his autograph two months ago.

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh cool, yeah, oh wow, there you go. I have

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 2>him claim it was Pete's last autograph. I got Pete's last.

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.319
<v Speaker 2>He keeled over internet. He just heat finished the e

0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.320
<v Speaker 2>and then he was just right there on the floor.

0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 2>How does mailbag look? That's fine, it's good clever. It's

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.560
<v Speaker 2>on the way and our text line is four one

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 2>five two nine five KFTC. For some reason it being uh,

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 2>October on my watch when I looked at it today

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 2>was striking just wow. So we got three months left

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 2>in twenty four and then it's twenty twenty five.

0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 1>What the hell? The math checks out.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.439
<v Speaker 2>Once in a while that happens, just just like, how

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 2>how are we a quarter of a century into this

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 2>century already? I know we need to recheck the numbers

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.720
<v Speaker 2>or tap on the glass to see if the machine

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 2>is working correctly.

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know.

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 2>And there's something about October. It's the final quarter of

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 2>the year. It's unquestionably the fall. Something about it feels

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 2>very transitional in a way. That's well, if you have

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.000
<v Speaker 2>kids in school, I guess September holiday season is looming

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 2>because you can feel Halloween, which leads into Thanksgiving in Christmas,

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, all.

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>That is sterness in the face.

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're celebrating Halloween if you're a Satan worshiper. I

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.719
<v Speaker 2>am not. Here's your freedom loving Court of the Day,

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 2>interrupting our series from Huxley because Jeff and hogs Nipple,

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:51.199
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee boy hit hard by the hurricane, passed along this

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 2>from Friedrich Hayek, which I absolutely love. Teachers, journalists and

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 2>other second hand dealers in ideas appoint themselves as representatives

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 2>of modern thought, as person superior in knowledge and moral

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 2>virtue to any who retain a high regard for traditional values.

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 2>There isn't much cachet in affirming traditional values. Challenging them

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 2>is much sexier. That's why every teenager does, which is fine.

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:26.040
<v Speaker 2>It's all right to passage when you got to numbskulld

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Adults doing it well into their thirties, forties, sixties, et cetera.

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty annoying. Mailbag Woo woo drops note mail bag

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 2>and armstrong you getty dot com loyal listen. Robert sent

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 2>along this note along with a helpful link. Is the

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 2>title of his email, speeking people in their forties and above.

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>You might recognize the joke. S'mod is that you?

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 2>It's me Roberts take off on a very famous piece

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.360
<v Speaker 2>of the youth literature of the past. He's talking about

0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 2>the sweeten year of death. There is We're going to

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 2>have a second moon for seven days on Earth.

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I heard that. It is a meteor. It's a

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 1>rock the size of a school bus.

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.400
<v Speaker 2>It's going to kind of connect and stay in orbit

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 2>for a couple of months and then you know, cut

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 2>loocive orbit because of various astrophysical mathematical realities, and then

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 2>go on, it's merry way. They had a joke about

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 2>that on Saturday Alive. I thought was hilarious. You didn't

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 2>think it was funny, Michael. Michael picks the funny jokes

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 2>from Sorry I Live. You didn't like the moon joke.

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 2>It's okay, all right, Hey, you never know, one of

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.240
<v Speaker 2>those NASA folks, Robert Wrights, might have been a DEEI higher.

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 2>They forgot to carry the one on a calculation. Blammo,

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 2>election day cancel because the rock the size of a

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 2>school bus slams into a swing state as Trump was saying,

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:44.320
<v Speaker 2>something nutty.

0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Could happen.

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Their joke was something like, the new slim moon is

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 2>going to make the old Moon really look like a

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 2>fat ass.

0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Wow. I didn't like it either, Michael. You're Jared

0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and Missouri.

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.280
<v Speaker 2>On the topic of the perils of AI, there's a

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 2>constant theme in literature of humanity destroying itself with its creations,

0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 2>from Frankenstein to the Matrix and hundreds of other stories.

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 2>You're quite right, good reason to fear AI, because, as

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 2>we know it's not the AI exactly, but the inputs

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 2>to AI that make it dangerous. I'm far more concerned

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 2>about some rogue idiot inserting white males are the anime

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 2>into the programming of Wardrones that I am about Skynet coming.

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 1>For boy, No kidding, that's a good point. Let's see

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 1>do we have time for this? Yeah?

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Great note from Bob n simple Jack, pork Shop and

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 2>the Gang. I was listening to the Boys Falling Behind

0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.360
<v Speaker 2>segment of Monday's show I'm a Dad to Two Boys

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 2>seventeen nineteen. I've seen the demoralization of boys over the years.

0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 2>In the late seventies, when I was in middle school,

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 2>we had metal shop, wood shop, auto shop. In our

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 2>high school, we have none of those classes. There's no

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 2>class to stimulate and attract our young men to use

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 2>their hands to create and build, and physical education classes

0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 2>not a requirement. Seems like the goal of high school

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>is to offer an easy path with easy classes to graduate.

0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 2>And they talked about every empowering TV commercial is about

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.600
<v Speaker 2>empowering women. Yeah, never dudes, and lots of classes that

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:11.800
<v Speaker 2>appeal to the feminine side, right, Yeah, that's rough, dang it.

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Come on in China, we're weak and effeminine, heartbreaking. We

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:16.680
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of news to catch you up on

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 2>it's debate day, among other things, so stay with us,

0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 2>armstrong and getty. Kamala Harris released an eighty one page

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:29.240
<v Speaker 2>book outlining her economic policy because you know how women.

0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Like to go on and on, and.

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Just wanted to bring that up because the eighty one

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:43.120
<v Speaker 2>page book that Kamala Harris put out explaining her economic

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 2>policy before she gave her speech had eighty three mentions

0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.360
<v Speaker 2>of Joe Biden in it, more mentions of Biden than

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:55.159
<v Speaker 2>there were pages, yet didn't mention his name once in

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 2>her address that day, which most people found pretty interesting.

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that was worthy of being on every page,

0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.119
<v Speaker 2>but not in the speech at all, with the assumption

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that nobody's ever going to read it. And

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:14.160
<v Speaker 2>she and she and her her running mate Tampon Trotzky

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:18.879
<v Speaker 2>tim are are just hammering the idea that she's the

0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.439
<v Speaker 2>candidate of changed. We can't have anymore. We can't take

0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.399
<v Speaker 2>another four years to this garbage. We need change, Kamala.

0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.800
<v Speaker 2>You know. So we are five weeks from today from

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 2>the presidential election, and we have a vice presidential debate tonight.

0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.040
<v Speaker 2>But I had forgotten this, which to me means the

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Trump people aren't doing a good enough job. The fact

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 2>that I forgot this, I was reaching reading Mark Calprin's

0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.840
<v Speaker 2>morning newsletter like I usually do, and and on his

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:48.439
<v Speaker 2>list of things for both sides was the Harris Wall's

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 2>ticket is the most liberal ticket the United States has

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.600
<v Speaker 2>ever had with a major party, which is clearly true.

0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 2>But I'd forgotten that, I think, and I think the

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:58.920
<v Speaker 2>fact that I've forgotten that is it's not being hammered enough.

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 2>That should be the like, the only thing most people

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:03.479
<v Speaker 2>know this is the most liberal ticket we've ever had

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.639
<v Speaker 2>in our nation's history, which is it's actually true.

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 1>That ought to be a never ending drum beat.

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.720
<v Speaker 2>You're right, but on Trump's improv comedy tour, he just

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:13.960
<v Speaker 2>see riffs on whatever he feels like at that moment.

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:15.600
<v Speaker 1>A little frustrating.

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Don't hit her for being dumb or mentally deranged or whatever.

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 2>It's the most liberal ticket in US history. It's out

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:27.240
<v Speaker 2>of the mainstream that will win you the election. It's

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.840
<v Speaker 2>just undeniable. Trump is running a terrible campaign. He may

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.359
<v Speaker 2>still win because he's up against a terrible candidate, but

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 2>it's a terrible campaign, awful. Jd Vance has been a

0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:40.240
<v Speaker 2>lot more disciplined. I've been reading various bits of analysis about.

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:41.320
<v Speaker 1>What now.

0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 2>You got cat ladies, you got cat eating, that's your discipline. Wow, Wow,

0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 2>the two cats as it's big called boy.

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:56.640
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point.

0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.680
<v Speaker 2>So a bunch of analysis about how Jad smart. He's

0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 2>a Wall Street guy who did a book tour. He

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 2>debated a moderate but a truly liberal Democrat for the

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.919
<v Speaker 2>senescee blah blah, and then Wallas's debating skills.

0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:12.960
<v Speaker 1>And it'll be fine.

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Bring it on, see if you can land any punches.

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll watch as long as I can stand it.

0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Ninety minutes.

0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 2>But the Wall Street Journal, in their big preview ninety minute,

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I know that's enough for anybody.

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>There won't be a single American watching that last half hour.

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I would have you didn't know, truer words never spake, sister, Yeah,

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:36.439
<v Speaker 2>I'd only have as the moderator, three prompts. All right,

0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.720
<v Speaker 2>you say something really mean about him? All right, your turn,

0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 2>you say something really mean about him? All right? Well,

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 2>all right now number two? Why is your candidate a

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:45.760
<v Speaker 2>good candidate?

0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:46.679
<v Speaker 1>All right?

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.399
<v Speaker 2>All right, now you all right, Number three, why is

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 2>the other candidate a crappy candidate? All right, We're through here,

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:54.960
<v Speaker 2>everybody go back to your lives. Thanks for tuning in

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:56.359
<v Speaker 2>fifteen minutes.

0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:56.879
<v Speaker 1>Max.

0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:02.280
<v Speaker 2>How about CBS announcing the candidates will be fact checking themselves. One,

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:06.440
<v Speaker 2>that's what a debate is, so thanks for that. And

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:10.520
<v Speaker 2>two isn't that an acknowledgment that that what ABC did

0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:11.200
<v Speaker 2>was a horror?

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have not come across anybody defending ABC and

0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 2>David Muhr.

0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:18.920
<v Speaker 1>What that woman is?

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:21.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you have to watch many debates,

0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.480
<v Speaker 2>it's not the job of the moderator to jump in

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and fact check people. Oh who That point they just

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.479
<v Speaker 2>tried to make was not a solid one and can

0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:29.919
<v Speaker 2>be refuted on this basis.

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:33.920
<v Speaker 1>No, that's not what the moderator does. Oh, I hate

0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 1>David Muir and that woman, but they aren't doing it tonight.

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 1>You have no name? She girl?

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:39.359
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, anyway, let me get to my point.

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 2>So there's all this analysis of the comparative skills and

0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:49.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, the possible tactics and blah blah. But then

0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:51.639
<v Speaker 2>I get to this in the Wall Street Journal, what

0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 2>might Walls be asked about his handling the Minneapolis riots

0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 2>following the George Floyd thing, his management of the COVID

0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 2>nine pandemic, his exit from the National Guard, and the

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:08.120
<v Speaker 2>leftward shift in Minnesota politics and policies, and I thought, Wow, okay,

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:09.200
<v Speaker 2>that sounds pretty legit.

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:11.160
<v Speaker 1>What might Advance be asked?

0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Vance will likely be asked about his twenty twenty one

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:17.320
<v Speaker 2>comment that the country is run by childless cat ladies

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:21.119
<v Speaker 2>and why he elevated a falsehood about Haitians in Ohio

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.159
<v Speaker 2>eating household pats the two.

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Cats doctrine Jack brought to our attention. Wow, so it's

0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:29.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna be both the cat questions.

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:31.360
<v Speaker 2>He also might be asked to explain why in twenty

0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.479
<v Speaker 2>sixteen he called Trump an idiot and compared him to Hitler,

0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 2>and why his late as twenty twenty he continued to be.

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Critical of him.

0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:43.800
<v Speaker 2>So very little of that is about what policy would

0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:47.560
<v Speaker 2>be when you're in office, and not a single damn

0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:50.359
<v Speaker 2>syllable of it would affect the lives of Americans. No

0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:55.240
<v Speaker 2>walls is like National Guard record or whatever. I get

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:57.320
<v Speaker 2>that being a story like when he first landed on

0:22:57.400 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 2>the scene a month ago or whatever, but god dang it,

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't care about that anymore. At all mind, I.

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:08.679
<v Speaker 1>Could see taking shots.

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 2>At him for being a serial resume patter, but no,

0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't particularly it's it's not a pivotal issue. But

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:18.639
<v Speaker 2>I do think it's interesting that in the Wall Street

0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Journals fantasy, perhaps most of the stuff about Walls is

0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 2>pretty relevant because it has to do with policy and

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:30.520
<v Speaker 2>track record, as opposed to the van stuff, none of

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:34.200
<v Speaker 2>which affects any Americans life in Iota unless you're I

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:37.600
<v Speaker 2>don't know, a pet store owner in Springfield, Ohio, and

0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:40.119
<v Speaker 2>sales have gone down because people figure they'll buy the

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:43.280
<v Speaker 2>cat and then just get eaten anyway, So what's the point.

0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Why why is this never a question in a debate?

0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:51.440
<v Speaker 2>What's the role of the federal government? Mister Walls? Oh wow,

0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:54.680
<v Speaker 2>how about that? Instead of digging into you said in

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one childless cat whatever, more Americans than ever

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:01.960
<v Speaker 2>and on the federal government for money?

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:03.679
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think that is? Is that a good

0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 1>thing or a bad thing? Just you know, that'd be interesting.

0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:09.720
<v Speaker 1>So the New York Times is trying to lower expectations.

0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:13.080
<v Speaker 2>They had an article yesterday about Tim Walls is so nervous,

0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:15.960
<v Speaker 2>he's chewing his fingernails. He's never been in a debate

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:18.400
<v Speaker 2>like this before. He's new to the game of politics,

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:22.320
<v Speaker 2>which is a bit of a made up story, as

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 2>he's been in politics for twenty years and debated a

0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:26.120
<v Speaker 2>whole bunch of times, and really good on his feet,

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 2>and I doubt he's the least bit nervous. A crock

0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:32.680
<v Speaker 2>of crap that is yea. But yeah, lowering expectations quick

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:34.000
<v Speaker 2>note that I wanted to get on to my main

0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:36.720
<v Speaker 2>point in bringing all of this to your attention. My habitations,

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:38.119
<v Speaker 2>my expectations are boredom.

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Ninety minutes.

0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, difficult to watch, continually reminding myself you have to

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:47.200
<v Speaker 2>pay attention, Joseph. You have to pay attention right scrolling

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:50.359
<v Speaker 2>through your phone checking out baseball scores. I kind of

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:53.240
<v Speaker 2>like this note from sideshow Bob. He's a speaker of truth.

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:55.639
<v Speaker 2>It's a seer of reality. It's funny seeing all the

0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 2>comments about Kamla not doing anything about the border is veep.

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 1>As a side note, no effing fan of hers. Veeeps

0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 1>never do anything.

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 2>In fact, the last one did exactly one thing I

0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 2>can remember, and y'all wanted to hang him for it.

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's good, Bob, That is a good point. Yet

0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:14.160
<v Speaker 1>that happens.

0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:17.479
<v Speaker 2>Vice president's regularly run usually not let this, but they

0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:19.639
<v Speaker 2>regularly run, and then they always have to all of

0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:21.919
<v Speaker 2>a sudden act like they were consequential when they were

0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 2>just hanging around waiting for an international funeral for four

0:25:25.160 --> 0:25:28.520
<v Speaker 2>years and well, and the reality of it is the

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:31.720
<v Speaker 2>job has no duties except breaking ties in the Senate

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:35.520
<v Speaker 2>and is famously just useless. It's a career killer. As

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 2>often as this it is a career launcher. But Kamala

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:44.320
<v Speaker 2>and Joe absolutely flogged the notion for the last four

0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:46.640
<v Speaker 2>years that she was the last person in the room.

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:49.600
<v Speaker 2>She was his closest advisor. She was the border zar

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:52.760
<v Speaker 2>or all right, the root causes zar. How's that going?

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 2>And now it's about face that. No, she's the candidate

0:25:56.840 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 2>to change, so it's all phony. But to have it

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 2>both ways is a little annoying, and you want to

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:06.479
<v Speaker 2>stick it to them anyway. Here is my action at

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:11.560
<v Speaker 2>my actual point, after asking about the National Guard and

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:17.159
<v Speaker 2>cat ladies and Hitler, not a single word will be asked,

0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:22.880
<v Speaker 2>probably about this Wall Street Journal opinion piece a Medicare

0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 2>election bribe for seniors. This story is admittedly complicated, but

0:26:29.119 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 2>it's the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services, touting in

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:35.240
<v Speaker 2>a press release that average Part D premiums will be

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:39.120
<v Speaker 2>declining by ninety dollars next year, while benefits will improve

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:41.960
<v Speaker 2>thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act and other new enhancements

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:47.800
<v Speaker 2>that actually cut funding for insurance companies who said they

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:53.920
<v Speaker 2>would raise premiums, which would depress benefits, which would cause

0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:58.560
<v Speaker 2>the pharmaceutic companies to declare war on the pharmacies and

0:26:58.760 --> 0:27:04.800
<v Speaker 2>something something, and our entitlement programs are utterly falling apart

0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:09.280
<v Speaker 2>and built on fraud, top to bottom. Fraud and dishonest

0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:11.480
<v Speaker 2>accounting is the part, is the point of this article.

0:27:11.560 --> 0:27:14.000
<v Speaker 2>It's actually quite interesting. It's just very difficult to explain.

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Not a word on that we'll hear about child ass

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:22.480
<v Speaker 2>cat ladies. Well, it's always been true to a certain extent,

0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:23.679
<v Speaker 2>and it's more true now than ever.

0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 1>We're more into.

0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Like in the personality of the person than their stance

0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:36.120
<v Speaker 2>on thorny issues things that affect our lives, right, yes, yeah,

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:40.520
<v Speaker 2>And for the record, having a cat or two does

0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:43.200
<v Speaker 2>not make one a cat lady in my world. I

0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:45.440
<v Speaker 2>thought we decided three was the over under three and

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:49.280
<v Speaker 2>a half. Yeah, three and yeah, three and a half

0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:51.880
<v Speaker 2>is the over under. If you have three cats, you're

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:56.119
<v Speaker 2>definitely under cat lady suspicion. You tell me you got

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:58.000
<v Speaker 2>three cats, I'm in your house. I'm like, that's a

0:27:58.480 --> 0:28:01.320
<v Speaker 2>that's a lot of cats. They're a fair number of cats.

0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 2>But four, yeah, what the hell cat lady? Now if

0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:15.400
<v Speaker 2>you are a child in cat Lady, or what about

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:16.720
<v Speaker 2>cat lady whose kids are grown?

0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 1>What does JD.

0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 2>Evans have to say about that? You raise your kids,

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:26.160
<v Speaker 2>they're they're fabulous, good citizens, nice folks, honest, hard working,

0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:27.520
<v Speaker 2>patriotic Americans.

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:29.760
<v Speaker 1>And now you have seventeen cats. I don't know you.

0:28:29.840 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Does Jdvans think you should not have a say you

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 2>got that many cats? Me and my Haitian friend Harvier

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:35.640
<v Speaker 2>are getting up the cookbook.

0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 1>They're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're

0:28:39.920 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 1>eating outs. They're eating I want to they're eating I

0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about live there.

0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:50.600
<v Speaker 2>About medicare, and you two clowns with it. Never mind,

0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 2>you clowns. That's gonna come up early in the debate tonight,

0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 2>you know it is. And I'm gonna roll my eyes

0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 2>so hard it might get kids.

0:29:00.960 --> 0:29:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Come help me. Dad's eyes are stuck again.

0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:08.040
<v Speaker 2>The Haitian cat eating thing will come up early in

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:11.560
<v Speaker 2>the debate, don't you think first Yeah, maybe first fifteen minutes.

0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe first question. It might be the two cat doctrine. Yesh, God,

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:20.040
<v Speaker 1>oh God help us. We got a couple of wars

0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:20.400
<v Speaker 1>going on.

0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:23.160
<v Speaker 2>I hope there's some questions about that, and you see

0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:29.720
<v Speaker 2>where everybody stands. And then the dock workers strike. I

0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:31.920
<v Speaker 2>think that'd be a good thing to hear their opinions on.

0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how Walls would handle that, because it

0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:36.920
<v Speaker 2>seems to me that the Left is trying to ignore

0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 2>this dock worker story, so maybe CBS won't even bring

0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 2>it up. Anyway, we got some more other news to

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 2>get into. You might not know about some of those things.

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:45.479
<v Speaker 2>We'll try to fill in the details. What did Joe

0:29:45.520 --> 0:29:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Biden say yesterday when he was asked about the strike?

0:29:49.000 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 2>What did you say yesterday when he was asking about

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Israel going in on the ground in Lebanon? Both of

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 2>his answers were troubling.

0:29:57.520 --> 0:29:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Bat care all on the way.

0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:13.080
<v Speaker 2>I've noticed that with parenting, I've got a almost thirteen

0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:16.800
<v Speaker 2>year old and a going on fifteen year old. You

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 2>only think about this sort of stuff constantly, the whole

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 2>parenting thing only constantly so, and not only for my

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 2>own kids, but just for society in general. As much

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 2>as we talk about it and it gets talked about,

0:30:36.720 --> 0:30:41.280
<v Speaker 2>I still think it's underappreciated. The great change that had

0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:46.360
<v Speaker 2>happened in the last twenty years of nobody walking around

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:49.479
<v Speaker 2>staring at the phone to everyone walking around staring at

0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the phone is underappreciated. It's so ubiquitous and there's so

0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:58.240
<v Speaker 2>little you can do about it that I guess, you know,

0:30:58.520 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 2>why even talk about it. But that is the biggest

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:07.680
<v Speaker 2>change to humanity, maybe ever in a short amount of time.

0:31:08.720 --> 0:31:12.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, the Industrial Revolution came on much slower than that,

0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:17.360
<v Speaker 2>or lots of other things. The I think about it,

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:18.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe I think about it too much, Maybe I got

0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:21.280
<v Speaker 2>a problem. Maybe I should see a therapist about this.

0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:23.640
<v Speaker 2>But like, drive him by a bus stop and everybody's

0:31:23.640 --> 0:31:25.479
<v Speaker 2>staring at their phone. I think then twenty years ago,

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:27.600
<v Speaker 2>they'd either been talking to each other or reading a

0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:31.280
<v Speaker 2>book or thinking or something, but they wouldn't.

0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Have been staring at their phones all the time.

0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 2>All the kids coming out of the high school and

0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I pick up my son, everybody walks out looking at

0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 2>their phone. Four people walking out of the school together,

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:42.719
<v Speaker 2>all looking at their phone instead of talking to each other.

0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 2>It's just what an amazing change leading to this. I

0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 2>think this fits in this guy, Yanni Applebaum, who I

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:51.960
<v Speaker 2>don't actually know. He writes for the Atlantic, and it

0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:54.280
<v Speaker 2>looks like his politics are not mine, but he's He's

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:59.480
<v Speaker 2>definitely right about this. Tweeted out and then got a

0:31:59.520 --> 0:32:02.080
<v Speaker 2>whole bunch of responses to educators. This is about the

0:32:02.240 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 2>incoming class of college freshmen all across America, and particularly

0:32:08.120 --> 0:32:10.840
<v Speaker 2>at elite universities, but I'm sure it's the same everywhere.

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Teacher in Illinois told me that, Okay, I'll start with

0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 2>his large numbers of students arriving at highly selective universities

0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 2>are unprepared to read a book cover to cover because

0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:24.800
<v Speaker 2>no teacher has ever asked them to do that before.

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:26.720
<v Speaker 2>That's his article in The Atlantic.

0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Good Lord.

0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:31.760
<v Speaker 2>And then the response is from teachers all across the

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:37.040
<v Speaker 2>country to this, saying, yeah, basically, here's a public high

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:40.520
<v Speaker 2>school teacher in Illinois who used to structure her classes

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:43.440
<v Speaker 2>around books, but now focuses on skills such as how

0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:47.360
<v Speaker 2>to make good decisions and about leadership. Students read parts

0:32:47.440 --> 0:32:51.200
<v Speaker 2>of the Odyssey and supplements with music articles and ted talks,

0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:52.160
<v Speaker 2>but do not read.

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:57.880
<v Speaker 1>The entire book. Here's another one.

0:32:59.440 --> 0:32:59.840
<v Speaker 2>That I like.

0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:01.400
<v Speaker 1>The blah blah blah blah.

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 2>During the fall twenty twenty two semester, when a first

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:06.960
<v Speaker 2>year student came to his office during office hours to

0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 2>share how challenging they had found the early assignments in

0:33:11.440 --> 0:33:15.320
<v Speaker 2>literature humanities class. It required students to read a book,

0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:17.160
<v Speaker 2>sometimes a very long and dense one, in just a

0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:20.120
<v Speaker 2>week or two. But the student told the advisor that

0:33:20.320 --> 0:33:22.480
<v Speaker 2>her public high schools she had never been required to

0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:24.800
<v Speaker 2>read an entire book. This is somebody who got into

0:33:24.800 --> 0:33:28.520
<v Speaker 2>an elite university. She had been assigned excerpts poetry and

0:33:28.600 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 2>news articles, but not a book cover to cover, and

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:34.920
<v Speaker 2>found it quite daunting. Here's a Melville scholar at one

0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:38.880
<v Speaker 2>of your fancy Pans universities who switched American literature on

0:33:39.880 --> 0:33:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Melville from Moby Dick. They dropped Moby Dick and now

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:45.760
<v Speaker 2>read the short stories. One has to adjust to the times.

0:33:46.120 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 2>The teacher said a number of professors told him for

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:54.560
<v Speaker 2>his Atlantic article that their students see reading books as

0:33:54.920 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 2>similar to listening to vinyl records, something that a small

0:33:57.640 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 2>subculture might still enjoy.

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>But that's most relic of an earlier time in the

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:09.800
<v Speaker 1>blink of an eye, as you were describing, right right, Yeah, wow.

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:14.440
<v Speaker 2>So kind of similar to what you were saying earlier

0:34:14.480 --> 0:34:17.759
<v Speaker 2>about AI might be the first time. I think it's

0:34:17.800 --> 0:34:21.520
<v Speaker 2>going to be the first time that the technology advancement

0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:23.520
<v Speaker 2>actually does away with a whole bunch of jobs and

0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:26.759
<v Speaker 2>doesn't replace them with new jobs. I think this is

0:34:28.239 --> 0:34:30.279
<v Speaker 2>one of these scares that is going to turn out

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:33.480
<v Speaker 2>to be true. The whole We did a thing a

0:34:33.560 --> 0:34:36.279
<v Speaker 2>while back on all the things jazz was blamed for

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 2>when jazz became popular music. Jazz was leading to promiscuous

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:43.520
<v Speaker 2>sex and economic problems and people couldn't read and blah

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:46.279
<v Speaker 2>blah blah. Everything was blamed on jazz. So all of

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.040
<v Speaker 2>the ideas to play in a jazz band, and I

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:50.040
<v Speaker 2>certainly hoped so, but my hopes were dashed.

0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 1>But lots of different changes in society. You're blamed for

0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of things.

0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:56.439
<v Speaker 2>This one the intention span staring at the phones, can't

0:34:56.440 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 2>read a book is not good.

0:34:58.200 --> 0:34:59.360
<v Speaker 1>This is not going to be okay.

0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the intellectual stuff bothers me, but I think it

0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:06.719
<v Speaker 2>bothers me less than the connectedness stuff, the emotionals, the

0:35:06.880 --> 0:35:10.320
<v Speaker 2>mental health stuff of not being connected to your peers,

0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:12.759
<v Speaker 2>not laughing and joking and poking fun at each other

0:35:12.920 --> 0:35:15.960
<v Speaker 2>and sharing your idle thoughts with each other.

0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:17.920
<v Speaker 1>That one really bothers me. Yeah, I don't think it's

0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:19.800
<v Speaker 1>going away. We have a lot more for you. I

0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:20.719
<v Speaker 1>hope you can stick around.

0:35:21.320 --> 0:35:25.160
