<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Getty.

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Arm Strong and Getty and He.

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Yetty. Hey are you thanks tun In'm glad

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>you're here. Happy Friday friends. Coming up later in the show,

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:39.519
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to a discussion of the idea of abundance,

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>meaning here in the US we have all sorts of

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>wonderful imports choose from, and therefore the average working person

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>has an incredibly high standard of living and we're living

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty high on the hog, you know, as human beings go.

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, we've offshored a lot of our manufacturing and

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>that leaves us vulnerable to certain things. Where's the balance point?

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>And are we happy with the idea of as Trump

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>said the other day, Look, you're not gonna have thirty

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>dollars on the shelves.

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 3>You'll have a couple.

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>It might be a few bucks more expensive, but we'll

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>have more good manufacturing jobs in the country. You know,

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.960
<v Speaker 1>what's the Where's the proper balance point? So stay tuned

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>for that if you can. If not, grab it by

<v Speaker 1>podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand, subscribe wherever you get podcasts.

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 1>But first, it's a gender bending madness update.

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 3>So I kept hearing about this thing called.

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>By the loco We're a brave world. We have a

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 1>number of headlines to share with you today, working up

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to what I think is the most important story. But

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>predictively and horrifyingly, California Democrats have killed a state senator's

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>bill that would secure women's prisons from predatory trans women

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>also known as men. Some of the stories, there's just unbelievable.

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 3>There is.

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Rampant rape of women in women's prisons, not by guards

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>or wardens or anything, but by these so called transgender people,

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>to the point that the guards in some of these

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>women's prisons are making condoms available and handing them out

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>to the women inmates, saying, hey, you might need this.

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>If somebody forces themselves upon you, maybe you can get

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:34.519
<v Speaker 1>them to put it on. And yet, because the radical

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>transgender movement is so powerful in cal Unicornia, they can't

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>even get a law passed that says, if you're a transgender,

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>you're a dude, but you're claiming to be a woman.

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.359
<v Speaker 1>All right, you're in the woman's prison, but you got

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to be over here a specific place that doesn't interact

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>with the women. That bill got crushed crushed by the

0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Democrats and the legislation. It's unbelievable. In case, it's not obvious,

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>even if you're not a would be rapist, the women's

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>prisons are less secure and less dangerous, and so guys

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>would just rather be there, so they declare, Hey, I'm

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>a girl, and the idiot state of California.

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 3>That lets them in there.

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Another headline for you, A number of big time sponsors

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>are rethinking their Pride marketing MasterCard not renewing its corporate

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>sponsorship for the New York City Pride March, the city's

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>annual march for LGBTQ plus rights for twenty twenty five.

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>They had been sponsoring the events for around a decade.

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Decision puts it among a group of NYC Pride sponsors

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>that are not returning this year. Others include sod snack

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>maker Pepsi Coo automaker, Nissan, banking Giant, City Group, and

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>consulting firm Price Waterhouse Coopers, among others. What's interesting about

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>this article, and it's in the Wall Street Journal is

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>in various quotes and in just the journalists writing, they

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>refer to LGBTQ or lgbt QI A plus, depending on

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>who they're quoting. And I'm reminded of the old saying

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't leave the party of the party left me

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>when it was lgb when it was gay rights. All

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>of these corporations are like, yeah, you know, there's plenty

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>of gay folks, and then we're up for them having rights,

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and so we'll sponsor. They're the big party in the march,

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>but the party left them. It's now lgbt q I

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 1>A plus, which includes cruel experiments, gender bending experiments on

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>confused adolescents, which you've talked about a lot, whether it's

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the hormones or the surgeries or whatever. And saying I'm

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 1>in favor of gay rights does not mean I'm in

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>favor of taking a confused fourteen year old girl in

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>feedner full of hormones and changing her body in her

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>life forever. That's different the whole TEA thing. You know,

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you can comment on that whichever you want. But now

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the l g b t q I A plus community

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:17.279
<v Speaker 1>is actually and I'm not making this up, the fairly

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>low level but increasing in volume messages about minor attracted

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>individuals m AI's you can probably guess what that means.

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>It means pedophiles, people might have sex with children, or

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:39.040
<v Speaker 1>at the very least sex with teenagers, underage people. And

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 1>so if i'm City Bank MasterCard, virtually everybody but you know, well.

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 3>That's not fair.

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not everybody but target is hanging in there, Anheuser

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Bush gay rights. Yeah, okay, experiments on children and yay

0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>for pedophiles.

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm out. Of course you're out. You should be out.

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>And I feel bad for you know, good reasonable gay

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 1>lesbian people or like, I am not down with all

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>of this madness, and I wish I wasn't grouped with them,

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>but unfortunately you are to some extent, which brings us

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>to this headline Gaze Against Groomers, which is an organization

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:27.359
<v Speaker 1>with an online presence, and they're you know what I've described,

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.479
<v Speaker 1>they're they're gay people who think all of the T

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>plus q I A minus over the power of three

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:37.799
<v Speaker 1>stuff is madness. And they just came across a White

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>House briefing for l g B t q I plus

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 1>leaders back in the Biden administration that branded Gaze Against

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Groomers as a hate group on an and an extremist organization.

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>And as they commented online. Our crime believing children are

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:03.600
<v Speaker 1>perfect ex exactly as they are, no drugs or surgeries required.

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna repeat that. This is this gaze against Groomer's group.

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>We believe children are perfect exactly as they are, no

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>drugs or surgeries required, And for that stance, the Biden

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 1>administration laid them, labeled them as extremists in.

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 3>A hate group.

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Man, we've gone down the so far down the road

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to Crazyville. It's hard to believe, isn't it. A couple

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>more stories, a man who identifies as a woman is

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>set to become the first transgender individual, and I appreciate

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>there are a handful of publications of a slightly more

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 1>conservative bent than the liberal mainstream media who use quotes

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 1>around transgender because the left in academia would have you

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>believe that that is it's a solid term with a

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>solid definition. Everybody knows what it means, and you dare

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>not question. No, no, that's not true. It's a concept.

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>The very concept of it is very, very controversial, but

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 1>they act as if it's universally understood and accepted.

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Don't fall for that. It's not anyway.

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>So again, transgenders and quotes and This happens to be Breitbarton.

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>A man who identifies as a woman is set to

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>become the first transgender individual to compete in the Miss

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.920

<v Speaker 1>year old Isabella Saint Sarah of Munson of one among

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 1>several other biological males, just males.

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 3>It's fine to just say males.

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>See only kind of male there is biological It's redundant

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to say biological male and silly. It's redundant and silly

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>to say biological woman or female female. That's enough, you've

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>explained yourself anyway. One among several men who have been

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>competing in beauty pageants across the nation and around the world.

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>And this person is very happy with this. As you

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>might guess. During an interview with the local paper, this

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 1>man said he'd always wanted to compete in pageants. Out

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>The outlet noted the farm owner, a farmer. That's interesting,

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 1>began transitioning while he was in high school, started the

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>medical transition when he was twenty. Okay, that's fine, but

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't get to be in a girl's beauty pageant

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>nor a girls sports henry Ford Health, Detroit based healthcare

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:03.320

<v Speaker 1>henry Ford pediatrician doctor Maureen Connelly radical lunatic said, we've

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>latched onto this idea that gender is fixed, but we

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.080
<v Speaker 1>know now in medicine that exploring your identity as it

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>relates to gender as a normal part of growing up. Well, yeah,

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:24.959
<v Speaker 1>how masculine?

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:26.079
<v Speaker 3>Am I? How feminine?

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Am I?

<v Speaker 3>Sensitive? Poet? Guy? Yes?

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.679
<v Speaker 1>That is a normal part of growing up. Having activists

<v Speaker 1>lunatics pump you full of chemicals and remove healthy body

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:44.880

<v Speaker 3>is it?

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we really ought to take a break, But there's

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:53.560
<v Speaker 1>a terrific editorial in the National Review. At the beginning

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 1>of the year, President Trump announced in an executive order

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 1>that directed the Secretary of Health and Human Services to

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 1>publish a review of the egg existing literature on best

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>practices for promoting the health of children who assert gender

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>dysphoria rapid onset gender dysphoria, which I could talk about

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>for a week, but I mean, the classic example of

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 1>gender dysphoria is a grown man who says, I've always

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>felt like a girl. I've always known I was a girl.

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:20.959
<v Speaker 1>I want to present as a woman and get surgery.

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.319
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's one thing. If you're a grown person,

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you get to do what you want. In my country, certainly,

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>But this rapid onset youth gender dysphoria thing is a

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>wildly different proposition. And it turns out that the best

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.680
<v Speaker 1>practices quote unquote for so called gender firm and care

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>are simply to not do it at all. If you

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.319
<v Speaker 1>take activism out of this and actually look at the science.

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 1>The conclusions are clear. The AHHS review was published a

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 1>couple of days ago, and the results should not be surprising.

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 1>The researchers found that the available studies on gender firm

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and care quote unquote for minors are poorly conducted, and

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>there is not evidence to show that such interventions effectively

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 1>treat gender dysfort or improve mental health. More importantly, the

0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>researchers note what has not been published in the scientific literature.

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 1>The studies largely fail to appropriately consider the possible harms

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 1>of these medical interventions. And since we're about out of town,

0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>time will cut this short for now. We'll come back

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.439
<v Speaker 1>to it later. But the other thing that they never

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 1>consider is that, yeah, if you have a delusion and

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 1>the people around you confirm that delusion as an impressional adolescent,

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.199
<v Speaker 1>that will for the short term make you feel better

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 1>about everything. But in the long term the results are

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>horrifying and devastating. So these studies have been absolute bunk. Anyway,

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>that's your gender bending madness update.

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:52.320
<v Speaker 3>The loco. We're in a brave new world. Much more to.

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Come, stay with us. Brett Phar had an interesting interview

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.680
<v Speaker 1>with JDV. Yesterday on special report in which they talked

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>about a handful of different things, including the situation with

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the Houthis bombing shipping and the US, unlike under the Mummy,

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Biden lashing back and pounding them for their trouble many many,

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>many strikes over a period of months. We'll let Breton

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>JD continue the conversation. First clip, Michael, the Hoothy campaign.

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think you know, we're already seeing signs

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 4>that the Houthis are saying no moss. They've been bombed,

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 4>They've recognized that there are serious consequences to firing on.

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.360
<v Speaker 3>American and other ships.

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 5>And I actually think we're in a good place for

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 5>the Houthis to stop attacking civilian vessels, to go back

0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:46.400
<v Speaker 5>to doing whatever it is they were doing before they

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 5>were attacking civilian vessels. And I think that if fat

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 5>were happening, then this bombing campaign would be over the

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 5>next day.

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Pete Hegseeth also sent a strong message, excuse me to

0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Iran and the Hoothies. You know very well what the

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>US military is capable of. You will pay warning that

0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Iran would pay consequences for its lethal support of the

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Houthis terrorist organization. We know exactly what you are doing,

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 1>you know very well with the US military is capable

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 1>of and you were warned you will pay the consequence

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>at the time in place of your choosing. Let's press

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 1>on with Brett Bearen VP Vans.

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 6>Do you hear the criticism though from libertarians from the

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 6>left that this is the new Vietnam? This is forty

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 6>eight days of bombing. People are in the middle of

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 6>the country. May not know that we're in the middle

0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 6>of a hot war with Yemen.

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.680
<v Speaker 4>What do you say, Well, not with Yemen with a

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 4>terrorist organization inside yet has been firing on American ships.

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 4>And I think that people, you know, we want to

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:52.160
<v Speaker 4>compare this to Vietnam, and come on. I think that

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.400
<v Speaker 4>the President has made it very clear that one of

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 4>his core national security priorities is that if you load

0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 4>stuff onto a ship and you send it to the

0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 4>United States, we want to make sure that it shows

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 4>up without the sailors getting killed, without the ship being destroyed.

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:09.280
<v Speaker 4>That is an objective that we're going to pursue forcefully if.

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 3>We have to.

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's an account in Fox News of the USS

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Harry Truman aircraft carrier that was the same that the

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 1>F eighteen super Hornet fell off of It's possible it

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 1>was making an emergency turn to avoid Hoothy attack. It's

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 1>all classified and should be. And that's fine and recent

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 1>and thanks to listeners who sent us video of giant

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>aircraft carriers making those emergency turns. It's quite astounding to

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>witness how quickly and with what energy they can turn.

0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, the aircraft carrier has been operating in the

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Red season September where it has launched strikes against the Houthis,

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and they have claimed it is they have attacked the

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Harry Truman and the accompanying warships in recent weeks, so

0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.960
<v Speaker 1>that may well be what happened. Meanwhile, Marco Ruby from

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:04.400
<v Speaker 1>thirty thousand feet talking more generally about Iran and its

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:05.679
<v Speaker 1>recent actions, and.

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:06.919
<v Speaker 3>Look, there's a win here for Iran.

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 7>Okay, they can actually have real economic development, Okay, real

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 7>investment in their country. But they have to walk away

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 7>from sponsoring terrorists, they have to walk away from helping

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 7>the Houthies, they have to walk away from building long

0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 7>range missiles that have no purpose to exist other than

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.200
<v Speaker 7>having nuclear weapons, and they have to walk away from enrichment.

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 3>These are not unreasonable requests.

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:26.959
<v Speaker 7>There are countries all over the world that have nuclear

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 7>energy and don't enrich and don't have long range missiles

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 7>and don't sponsor terrorism. That path is there for them.

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.439
<v Speaker 7>It's the path of peace. And frankly, I pray and

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.520
<v Speaker 7>hope and we'll do everything we can to hope convince

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 7>them that they should take it.

0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Marco Rubio there, it will be so interesting to see

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>the next six months or so unfold. According to the reports,

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 1>which may or may not be accurate. You never know

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.440
<v Speaker 1>who floats what and for what reason. But Israel was

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.640
<v Speaker 1>ready to go ahead and strike Iran and take their

0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.119
<v Speaker 1>nuclear program down to whatever extent is possible, and we

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 1>told them to wait, wait, wait, to hold it back.

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Their negotiations allegedly happening. Soon It's going to turn one

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 1>way or the other, and in dramatic fashion.

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Soon. Much more to come.

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Stay with us if you can't grab the podcast Armstrong and.

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Getty, onto me Armstrong and Getty.

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.080
<v Speaker 8>According to a new study, drinking champagne could reduce the

0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:21.720
<v Speaker 8>risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, it increases the risk

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 8>of hitting wasted at brunch and spending your Sunday afternoon

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 8>passed out on one of the IKEA sample beds.

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 3>There you go.

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've never enjoyed the mimosa or the the brunch drink.

0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:38.120
<v Speaker 9>It only if I'm planning to keep her going all day.

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:40.560
<v Speaker 9>And that's, you know, a rare occurrence.

0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 1>You're always a much better distance athlete than I was.

0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 3>I can't do it two times. So I had a

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.080
<v Speaker 3>doctor's appointment. I wasn't hear the last hour.

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.199
<v Speaker 9>You probably didn't even notice me missing, which makes you

0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:53.439
<v Speaker 9>wonder why I get paid to do this.

0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 3>But so I noticed, Jack, I noticed, all right.

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:04.960
<v Speaker 9>So I've had this cough thing for three weeks long

0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 9>outside of cancer, longest time I've been sick with the

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.119
<v Speaker 9>same thing ever in my wife. I just went to

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 9>the doctor and apparently there's a whole bunch of these

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 9>or one I don't know, flying around the country. So

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:18.960
<v Speaker 9>if you got something where it just keeps hanging on,

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.199
<v Speaker 9>it's a thing. Right now, three to five weeks of

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.400
<v Speaker 9>the same cough before it goes away, which.

0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 3>Is abow five weeks. Is that's too much what I

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:29.679
<v Speaker 3>would like to know?

0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.160
<v Speaker 9>Well, three weeks sure feels like a long time. It's

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 9>been three weeks in two days. But what I'd like

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 9>to know if this has anything to do with covid.

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.359
<v Speaker 3>Did covid do anything to our immune system?

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 9>Or is this some sort of merged with a cold

0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:47.000
<v Speaker 9>variant something I don't know, No problem, and.

0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:50.159
<v Speaker 1>It is doctor Fauci behind it all. Yeah, no kidding,

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Never forget two things. First of all, I always asked

0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:55.879
<v Speaker 1>this question of doctors.

0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:57.679
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why. I just am fascinated by this.

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:00.920
<v Speaker 9>I said, So, if I'd got and this because they're

0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:03.919
<v Speaker 9>putting me on pregnizone to try to knock out the

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:05.120
<v Speaker 9>end of it because I got.

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:07.359
<v Speaker 3>Fluid in my lungs or whatever.

0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:13.400
<v Speaker 9>I said, if this is going on one hundred years ago,

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 9>what would happen? And she said, you'd probably get deemonia

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.199
<v Speaker 9>and die most likely. That's just amazing to me that

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:22.720
<v Speaker 9>how many things. You know, That's why life expectancy was

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.919
<v Speaker 9>like thirty eight not that long ago, because there are

0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.240
<v Speaker 9>just so many things that would come along and kill.

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:30.920
<v Speaker 3>You right right.

0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, I find myself wondering and I'm completely unqualified

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to even consider this question, So this should be fun.

0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Would we well, I think I know the answer.

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Would we have developed the population density that we have

0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:54.639
<v Speaker 1>now as modern humans in the absence of modern medicine. Uh,

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, because a lot of people would be dropping

0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.159
<v Speaker 1>dead like crazy of these respiratory diseases that we all

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 1>trade back and forth because we're you know, in buildings

0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:03.160
<v Speaker 1>and offices and schools all the time.

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.600
<v Speaker 9>London was pretty dense long before antibotics came along.

0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and people lived to thirty eight if they were lucky.

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we would have a lot different population, no doubt.

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.800
<v Speaker 9>But so some of you heard when we brought this

0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.560
<v Speaker 9>up the other day. So I was talking to somebody

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:23.120
<v Speaker 9>I know in my personal life and about being sick,

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 9>and they said, you get sick a lot. And I said, no,

0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.159
<v Speaker 9>not really, And they said, and for whatever reason they

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.440
<v Speaker 9>had in their mind when I've been sick, they said, yeah,

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 9>well you had this and then like a month ago

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.000
<v Speaker 9>you had and you missed work and blahlah blah. And

0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:37.520
<v Speaker 9>I and for the first time in my life, which

0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.639
<v Speaker 9>is absolutely amazing, that I've been able to live in

0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:44.159
<v Speaker 9>denial all this time. It's shocking. What else am I

0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:47.640
<v Speaker 9>in denial about or anybody I had to admit? Yeah,

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 9>I get sick a lot. I get sick more than

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.359
<v Speaker 9>the average person. I've never admitted that out loud, but

0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 9>it's clearly statistically true, and I've never seen myself that way.

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:02.440
<v Speaker 9>So now I've I've got to realize, like my parents

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:05.480
<v Speaker 9>eighty two and eighty.

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Seven eighty eight.

0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:13.800
<v Speaker 9>Almost never get sick, like ever, my whole life, including

0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 9>now I, on the other hand, would be I would die.

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.160
<v Speaker 3>I would have already been dead a long time ago.

0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 9>I'm a person who gets sick, and without modern medicine,

0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 9>I would have been dead a long time ago. I'm

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 9>not cut out for, you know, life, apparently probably lack

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 9>of character.

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Is that what the doctor say or you know? Because

0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:34.080
<v Speaker 3>that's why I've.

0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:36.600
<v Speaker 9>Been That's why I've wanted to deny getting sick a lot,

0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:38.520
<v Speaker 9>because I do feel like it's people who get sick

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 9>a lot I've just always.

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Looked down on. You're just like a weak person. You

0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 3>get sick of Wow.

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I know I'm not proud of it, but that's cruelty

0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:49.520
<v Speaker 1>on one end of your personality and delusion on the other.

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:53.720
<v Speaker 1>This is troubling people who get sick a lot.

0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:55.159
<v Speaker 9>I don't want them around me. I don't want to

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:57.159
<v Speaker 9>work with them. I don't I just yeah, you're just

0:22:57.240 --> 0:23:00.119
<v Speaker 9>you're weak. You're a weak person. I've always felt that way.

0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 9>Maybe that's where the denial comes from because I had

0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:06.520
<v Speaker 9>that aks. But I get sick a lot, and I would.

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Have been a compensating one hundred years ago, I would

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:09.480
<v Speaker 1>have been dead.

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:11.440
<v Speaker 3>Huh.

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:14.400
<v Speaker 9>So what do you do with that information? Nothing, that's

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 9>just your deal. Like some people have better eyesight or taller.

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh about not the psychological part, but the reality of

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 1>getting sick.

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:24.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. You try to take care of yourself.

0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:25.200
<v Speaker 3>I suppose I don't do.

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:28.320
<v Speaker 1>You're quit acting like the precautions to prevent illness are

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:31.800
<v Speaker 1>stupid and only practiced by weak people.

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:33.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I suppose.

0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:36.720
<v Speaker 9>Okay, I'm going to go on the pregni zone, which

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:39.119
<v Speaker 9>is a steroid, so I'm going to get swoll. So

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:41.399
<v Speaker 9>look forward to me. Just I'm gonna be RFK Junior

0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:44.120
<v Speaker 9>ripped by the way. He just announced he's getting feetest

0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:45.520
<v Speaker 9>parts out of all the vaccines.

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.639
<v Speaker 3>So that's something to be excited about. Next vaccine, you

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:52.639
<v Speaker 3>got no feetest parts in it? Wait, what I know?

0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:54.680
<v Speaker 3>I thought the same thing. What the hell does that mean?

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:56.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, we'll dig into that and figure out how

0:23:56.520 --> 0:24:00.919
<v Speaker 1>significant it is. So you have probably had this same conversation,

0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 1>at least internally, as I have watching traffic go by.

0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Everybody is driving little SUVs. Now every damn car is

0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:13.240
<v Speaker 1>a crossover suv.

0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:14.200
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of them.

0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 1>And I remember back when this phenomenon was first beginning,

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I would always be a little i don't know, perturbed, intrigued, confused,

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:30.040
<v Speaker 1>because I would say, so you got a little hatchback,

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>whatever happened to the trunk, the great American trunk you

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:38.280
<v Speaker 1>could stole, like, you know, a couch in three bodies

0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:41.120
<v Speaker 1>in a trunk I have, And now you've got this

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:41.919
<v Speaker 1>little space.

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 3>Why are people preferring these things now?

0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Of course I've been driving one mostly for the last

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:48.960
<v Speaker 1>several years, a kind of mid sized suv.

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Interestingly, in the National Review, Chad Hagen observed first that

0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:58.439
<v Speaker 1>the American car market has undergone a huge shift in

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:01.120
<v Speaker 1>recent years. It used to be Sedan after Sedan after

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Stan on American roads, two to four doors and a trunk.

0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 3>Great.

0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:07.639
<v Speaker 9>I don't know why they went away, but anyway back

0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:09.120
<v Speaker 9>to your statistics, Yeah.

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:11.679
<v Speaker 1>They practically vanished and replaced by an endless parade of

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:13.359
<v Speaker 1>oversized SUVs and crossovers.

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 3>He wrote, what happened.

0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 1>It was not consumer demand alone that drove this transformation.

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Although I do kind of like sitting up high.

0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 3>Sitting up hi, you start doing.

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 9>It, it it, I don't know, you just feel more

0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 9>protected or the view or whatever. But yeah, when I

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:35.400
<v Speaker 9>got my sedan, it had been a long time since

0:25:35.400 --> 0:25:36.440
<v Speaker 9>i'd sat down low.

0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:38.639
<v Speaker 3>You have a different view of the world down there.

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I went with like what you might call a

0:25:40.880 --> 0:25:43.600
<v Speaker 1>sports sedan for a while, and I really liked the car.

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:48.680
<v Speaker 1>But in a land of SUVs and pickup trucks, you constantly,

0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:52.920
<v Speaker 1>you constantly got their headlights directly into your eyeball right,

0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 1>because of the way they're focused anyway.

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:58.439
<v Speaker 3>But it was not consumer demand alone that drove the transfer. Transformation.

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Policy played a pivot, an ironic role, how well, under

0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:08.600
<v Speaker 1>the revised corporate average fuel economy those are the Cafe standards.

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps you've heard of. Fuel efficiency targets were tied to

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:15.920
<v Speaker 1>a vehicle's physical footprint. The larger the vehicle, the easier

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the target began it became to meet. Right so called

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 1>light trucks, a category that miraculously expanded to include nearly

0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 1>anything with four wheels and a squarish back end. Were

0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:32.720
<v Speaker 1>given significantly lower efficiency requirements than passenger cars. As a result,

0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:39.600
<v Speaker 1>automakers responded exactly as rational actors do under irrational government regulations.

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:43.840
<v Speaker 1>They made everything bigger. Traditional sedans were bulked up into crossovers,

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:47.120
<v Speaker 1>ground clearance was raised, carbon go space was squared off,

0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and the vehicles were quietly reclassified as trucks to game

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the system that Washington had so thoughtfully built for them.

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 9>That is funny on a number of ends. So first

0:26:56.920 --> 0:27:02.639
<v Speaker 9>of all, government trying to force us to live certain

0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:05.400
<v Speaker 9>ways almost never works. Almost never works.

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:07.600
<v Speaker 1>To find relate the free market one.

0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 3>We find our way around it.

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:11.760
<v Speaker 9>We do what we want to do, So we figure

0:27:11.760 --> 0:27:14.800
<v Speaker 9>out a way around it. Our business figures out a

0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:17.719
<v Speaker 9>way around it. And then you got the other end

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:20.359
<v Speaker 9>of it. And I've talked about this a million times.

0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:23.639
<v Speaker 9>I know it annoys, it hurts some people's feelings. But

0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:26.439
<v Speaker 9>the whole truck thing is so much image, and I

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:30.160
<v Speaker 9>have I have many many trucks, But it's an image

0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:31.639
<v Speaker 9>they sell you that we all like.

0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:33.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm perfectly fine with that. I like the image.

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 9>I know they're selling me in an image, but almost

0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:39.560
<v Speaker 9>nobody statistically ever puts their four wheel drive in four

0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 9>wheel drive and all the towing capacity stuff that they

0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:44.399
<v Speaker 9>put in, all the ads to make you feel a

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:48.159
<v Speaker 9>certain way. Almost nobody ever pulls anything with their truck.

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:51.000
<v Speaker 9>I know plenty of you do, and you're listening right now,

0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:54.200
<v Speaker 9>and you feel offended that I said that, But just statistically,

0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 9>it's true. Not talking about you, right right. You work

0:27:57.840 --> 0:27:59.440
<v Speaker 9>on a farm and you pull a big truck, fine,

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 9>you need a certain or a big wagon or whatever,

0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:03.920
<v Speaker 9>you need a certain kind of truck, but most people don't.

0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:06.720
<v Speaker 9>Most people are picking up their kids from school in

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:09.920
<v Speaker 9>their truck that can pull fifteen thousand pounds up a hill,

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 9>but they never ever do.

0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 3>But so you know, it fits in with what you

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:15.080
<v Speaker 3>were just talking about.

0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 9>So you come up with an image to sell this

0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:18.919
<v Speaker 9>kind of vehicle that gets around the cafe standards, and

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:21.119
<v Speaker 9>then everybody's driving this.

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:24.280
<v Speaker 1>This is an unfair characterization, which is why I enjoy

0:28:24.320 --> 0:28:30.960
<v Speaker 1>it so much. But in general, progressive types, liberals in general,

0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 1>including you know, fairly moderate liberals back in the day,

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:40.880
<v Speaker 1>they pass policies and a praise them on how they

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:43.720
<v Speaker 1>make them feel and whether they make them look enlightened,

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 1>whether they get social payoff from it. Do you praise

0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:54.720
<v Speaker 1>me for passing these policies. That is the standard. If

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you're a good, smart conservative and you understand the way

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the world really works works, you propose policies, but then

0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:08.840
<v Speaker 1>you think hard about, Okay, how will people's behaviors change

0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>because of this policy, how will people try to get

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:14.280
<v Speaker 1>around it?

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Is this worth the trouble?

0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Are we, for instance, helping the poor single mother. Yes,

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:24.440
<v Speaker 1>but we're also encouraging people not to get married in

0:29:24.480 --> 0:29:28.479
<v Speaker 1>the first place. For instance, that taken from the LBJ

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>is so called great society and the sixties that decimated

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the black family. If you're a good conservative, you think

0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 1>hard about the way the world and humans really work,

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and you take a much lighter hand in trying to

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:47.080
<v Speaker 1>manipulate the levers of life and love in the economy,

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:49.960
<v Speaker 1>because it never works out the way you think it will.

0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 1>People adjust, they change, they do different things, or companies say, oh,

0:29:57.200 --> 0:30:01.240
<v Speaker 1>bigger vehicles have lower standards. Let's make bigger vehicle. And literally,

0:30:01.320 --> 0:30:04.640
<v Speaker 1>that's how long the conversation was. Right to get around

0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:07.080
<v Speaker 1>your brilliant regulations.

0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:12.000
<v Speaker 9>And while you and your friends in Brooklyn who never

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:14.640
<v Speaker 9>drive at you don't even own cars.

0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:17.480
<v Speaker 1>And can totally not understand how anybody would want to

0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 1>own a car.

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 9>I think we're all gonna start driving some sort of

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:23.680
<v Speaker 9>tiny little thing because we care about the environment. No,

0:30:23.920 --> 0:30:26.120
<v Speaker 9>we went out and bought the great, big giant SUVs

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 9>because we like big vehicles.

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 3>Yep, the end. Yeah, that's funny.

0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 9>And then Katie had this story earlier about how the

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:39.600
<v Speaker 9>federal government's proposing some sort of tax for electric cars

0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 9>that will start happening, and you said it's to make

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:45.320
<v Speaker 9>up for the gas taxes. That's another perfect example of

0:30:45.320 --> 0:30:47.080
<v Speaker 9>how it makes you feel versus reality.

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:50.680
<v Speaker 3>Everybody starts driving electric cars, all that gas.

0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:54.800
<v Speaker 9>Tax that you used to fund tons of big blue

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:58.400
<v Speaker 9>projects in your state are gonna go away. How are

0:30:58.440 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 9>you gonna fix it? You gotta make up for that,

0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:03.040
<v Speaker 9>So where you gotta have an answer for that somewhere.

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:04.920
<v Speaker 9>You can't just ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist.

0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 1>You try mightily to limit the miles people drive, and

0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 1>then you profit from those miles, and then when those

0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:14.560
<v Speaker 1>miles actually drop, you go into a panic and you

0:31:14.600 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 1>have to tax something else.

0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:18.440
<v Speaker 9>Lovely, I'm gonna go to a movie tonight, very excited

0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 9>about a movie that hits the theaters tonight. I'll tell

0:31:20.560 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 9>you about, among other things, on the ways to hear Armstrong.

0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:33.760
<v Speaker 2>And yet we can't starting alone, no one can, and

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:37.080
<v Speaker 2>we can find a way together.

0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Marvel Studios, Thunderballs, oh man I Hanson.

0:31:46.760 --> 0:31:49.520
<v Speaker 9>I asked Canton to grab a trailer from Thunderbolts, which

0:31:49.560 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 9>comes out tonight, new Marvel movie, which I'm very excited about.

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 9>It's hilarious. Many of the trailers are freaking hilarious. That

0:31:57.400 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 9>was not one of them, but it is a it's

0:31:59.640 --> 0:32:04.040
<v Speaker 9>a like Avengers type movie, and it looks really really good,

0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 9>and it's got a bunch of the stars. If you've

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:09.080
<v Speaker 9>watched these or watch them with your kids or whatever. Bucky,

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 9>you know, Captain America's friend who died during World War Two.

0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:15.880
<v Speaker 9>Bucky's back. And this guy David Harbor. Do you know

0:32:15.960 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 9>David Harbor by name Joe. He's spend so many things.

0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 9>He was a sheriff in Stranger Things. But he plays

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:26.520
<v Speaker 9>this Russian super soldier that he's been in the Marvel series.

0:32:27.160 --> 0:32:30.640
<v Speaker 9>Really badass, very cool. I mean, just a great character

0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:33.480
<v Speaker 9>actor and he's great in this role. But anyway, now

0:32:33.520 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 9>he's in this that's kind of a half a comedy.

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:37.120
<v Speaker 3>And Henry and are going to go tonight.

0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:38.280
<v Speaker 9>I'll let you know what I think of it. They're

0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:40.720
<v Speaker 9>hoping it's going to revitalize the Marvel thing. Interesting that

0:32:40.720 --> 0:32:42.600
<v Speaker 9>they're going to try to go with a comedy bent

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:46.280
<v Speaker 9>to bring it back after it kind of dying off

0:32:46.400 --> 0:32:47.680
<v Speaker 9>over the last several years.

0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Interesting, by the way.

0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I was going to tout and Door, which is one

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:56.320
<v Speaker 1>of your Star Wars spinoffs on Disney Plus, and I

0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:57.600
<v Speaker 1>read an article the other day.

0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:00.000
<v Speaker 3>I kind of heard of it, but I never tuned in.

0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:02.880
<v Speaker 1>But the article was talking about Tony Gilroy, who's the

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:06.200
<v Speaker 1>guy who like is behind it, the showrunner, the writer,

0:33:07.160 --> 0:33:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and how disappointed he was that it wasn't a bigger hit.

0:33:10.640 --> 0:33:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Uh and and the critic was saying, and it should be,

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:14.440
<v Speaker 1>because it's so good.

0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 3>He's the guy.

0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Who wrote like all of the Bourne Identity movies and

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:23.120
<v Speaker 1>directed several of them. And and the point of the

0:33:23.200 --> 0:33:25.640
<v Speaker 1>article was that it's not very Star Wars y. It's

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:32.560
<v Speaker 1>a political espionage thriller and and with really interesting deep

0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:34.280
<v Speaker 1>characters and twists and stuff like that.

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:35.760
<v Speaker 3>And I thought, oh, okay, I'll give it a try.

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 3>I've been binging it. Oh I love it. It is

0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:38.760
<v Speaker 3>so good.

0:33:38.960 --> 0:33:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh really, check door on Disney Plus if you get that.

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:43.480
<v Speaker 3>He loves that sort of thing.

0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 9>On Thunderbolts, there's one of the trailers where he say,

0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:49.239
<v Speaker 9>I think we should call ourselves thunderbolts if we If

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:56.040
<v Speaker 9>you're gonna call thunderbolts, I quit. So this is some

0:33:56.120 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 9>breaking news and kind of interesting of things that are

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:06.640
<v Speaker 9>happening right now. So the jobs numbers came out today.

0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:08.680
<v Speaker 9>So we had the GDP number that came out a

0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:10.880
<v Speaker 9>couple of days ago in the economy shrank, and then

0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:14.759
<v Speaker 9>Joe explained how that that's misleading, like a lot misleading.

0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:15.840
<v Speaker 3>But then the jobs.

0:34:15.680 --> 0:34:18.440
<v Speaker 9>Numbers out today, which exceeding expectations.

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:20.400
<v Speaker 3>So the Financial Times headline.

0:34:20.040 --> 0:34:24.839
<v Speaker 9>Is US stocks wipe out losses from Liberation Day. US

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 9>stocks rallied today on the news of one hundred and

0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 9>seventy seven thousand jobs and that was enough to cause

0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:36.280
<v Speaker 9>the S and P at least to gain back everything

0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:37.920
<v Speaker 9>that has been lost since Liberation Day.

0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 3>And so there you go.

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Check.

0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:41.719
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead and check your four oh one k as

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:42.040
<v Speaker 3>they say.

0:34:42.280 --> 0:34:46.120
<v Speaker 9>That's why that whole thing is so stupid every single time, and.

0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:47.640
<v Speaker 3>People are worried about their foreum case.

0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:50.759
<v Speaker 9>First of all, unless you're like retiring tomorrow and even then,

0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:53.279
<v Speaker 9>Like my dad always talks about how many times he's

0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:56.120
<v Speaker 9>lost half of what he's got since he's been retired.

0:34:55.880 --> 0:34:57.879
<v Speaker 3>It comes back unless you're right.

0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 9>I don't know, planning to buy a house to with

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:02.359
<v Speaker 9>your four oh one k, which would be a bad plan.

0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you act like all of the talking hands

0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:10.320
<v Speaker 1>on the news, think you act, you're doing it wrong.

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Get a financial advisor, read a book or something.

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:17.839
<v Speaker 9>Read a book or something, but like all that stuff,

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:21.360
<v Speaker 9>or this is the worst stock market decline since April

0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:22.439
<v Speaker 9>of twenty twenty three.

0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:24.560
<v Speaker 3>That's two years ago, and I don't even remember it.

0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:25.799
<v Speaker 3>I mean, why are you acting like this?

0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:28.239
<v Speaker 1>You don't remember twenty twenty three? The blood running in

0:35:28.239 --> 0:35:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the streets, the cannibalism, parents eating their own children.

0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Is there? Oh wow?

0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 9>You'd have thought that had stuck in my mind, right?

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:37.439
<v Speaker 3>I didn't see this. Maybe you talked about it while

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:38.200
<v Speaker 3>I was at the doctor.

0:35:38.719 --> 0:35:42.080
<v Speaker 9>The U United States announced yesterday we're stepping back from

0:35:42.120 --> 0:35:44.360
<v Speaker 9>the peace talks, and you brought Russia and Ukraine.

0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:46.479
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know that. I missed this story.

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:50.759
<v Speaker 9>Yesterday We're no longer going to be involved in the

0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:55.280
<v Speaker 9>peace talks. It's up to them. The White House announced yesterday. Okay,

0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:59.239
<v Speaker 9>I'd missed that too. Yeah, seems like big news. Well

0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:00.920
<v Speaker 9>what peace talks?

0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:04.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean maybe maybe that's the ye. We do four
