1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty Armstrong and 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: Jackie and now he Armstrong and Eddy. We've done Cold Turkey. 4 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: That means that we're not losing you know, we lost 5 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: a trillion dollars to China, a trillion dollars. That means 6 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: we're not losing a trillion dollars when we go Cold 7 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 2: Turkey because we're not doing business with him right now, 8 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: and they want to make a deal. They want to 9 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 2: make a deal very badly. We'll see how that all 10 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 2: turns out, but it's got to be a fair deal. 11 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: So well, what about my never ending lust for pencils? 12 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 3: So we got our trade war going on with China, 13 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 3: and Trump says, I meet the press yesterday. Your kids 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 3: have twenty dollars, you have too many pencils, which was 15 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 3: not thing to say. 16 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what that's all about. 17 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: And I think telling Americans they have too much stuff 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,319 Speaker 3: is not the best message in the world. We got 19 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 3: this text though, regarding the dolls and pencils. Don't you 20 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: think we need to buy fewer, nicer things that are 21 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 3: American made since wages are higher here. It's the trade 22 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 3: off of the coupling from China. Someone needs to be 23 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 3: the adult, and Trump is doing it. It's like giving 24 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: kids joke food. A responsible parent cuts it off and 25 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 3: gives them nourishing food because that's what is best. Trump's 26 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 3: right on this. American needs to do hard things. Yeah, 27 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 3: I'm fine with the idea that, you know, let's have 28 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 3: slightly higher quality stuff, or just make the message. You know, 29 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 3: whether you like it or not, we can't continue to 30 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: live off China manufacturing everything. But just flat out saying 31 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 3: you have too much is not a good statement. Nobody 32 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 3: wants to hear that. Ever, Well, you have too much 33 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: in your paying too little for it. Yeah, Now, to 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 3: completely restructure our trade relationship with China, not only is 35 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: that defensible, it's iron clad. 36 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 4: I mean we must. He's one hundred percent right about that. 37 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 3: What are you doing with all those pencils? Three hundred pencils? 38 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 3: A couple pencils is fine, you wear to your order exactly. 39 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 3: The presentation of the idea was was odd. I'll just 40 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 3: say that. 41 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 4: But yeah, the idea that the after effect of restructuring 42 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 4: our trade agreement with China is to some extent less 43 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 4: cheap stuff on shelves. Well, yeah, that's absolutely true. 44 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 3: On the other handy out of more than the pencils, 45 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 3: I find pencils funny because I just don't know a 46 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 3: whole lot of adults that use a lot of pencils. 47 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: But uh, just flat out saying your kids get too 48 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 3: many toys for Christmas? 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: Oh my god. Well, and just and to our our text, 50 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: I would just say. 51 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 4: The the vast, vast majority of the manufacturing that is 52 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 4: no longer going to be in China is not going 53 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 4: to be in the United States, going to be in 54 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 4: Vietnam and Malaysia and India and a number. 55 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: Of other places. 56 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 4: So the idea that we will on shore tremendous amounts 57 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 4: of manufacturing restructure the American economy, it's just not realistic. 58 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 4: It would that would take And this is this is 59 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 4: my objection to it as a lover of liberty and 60 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 4: mostly free markets. And as always, we're putting China the 61 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 4: dirty commis aside, and we're putting critical industries for defense 62 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 4: and pharmaceuticals and that sort of stuff aside. I'm just 63 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 4: talking about dolls and pencils. It used to be in 64 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 4: econ classes. You talk about guns and butter right, Well, 65 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 4: now it's dolls and pencils. 66 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: Evidently that's fine. 67 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 4: Uh. It would take to to like on shore as 68 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 4: much as he's talking about, and like completely regrow the 69 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 4: American manufacturing world of post w W two, which is 70 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 4: wildly unrealistic for a number of reasons. It would take 71 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 4: so much central planning and so much government power. It 72 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 4: would be like living in Venezuela. You would have to 73 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 4: dictate millions and millions of choices by millions and millions 74 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 4: of American economic actors every single day to get where 75 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 4: he's talking about every hour real Oh yeah, yeah, every second. 76 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: It's not realistic. 77 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 4: On the other hand, I keep going back to Howard 78 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 4: Lutnick wrote a piece in the Journal over the weekend, 79 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 4: and I'll quote some of it for you. Later hinted 80 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 4: rather strongly that this is all just restructuring trade agreements. 81 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: Is this is not a. 82 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 4: Bluff exactly, because if you don't come correct, if you 83 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 4: don't come to the bargaining table, the tariffs will stay 84 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 4: in place. But that's what it's all about, or so 85 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 4: Lutnik seemed to be hinting. Okay, so unless you have 86 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 4: more on that topic. That was one of them. 87 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 3: Get used to scrawling things with rocks or something, I 88 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: guess in a pencil less world. 89 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 4: Luckily, I've hoarded enough writing utensils of various descriptions. 90 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: I think I'll be fine. 91 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: So the other soup a controversial thing that Trump uh 92 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 4: said during the Meet the Press interview, and before we 93 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 4: get into it, is one more aside the fact that 94 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 4: the leader of the free world wades into an overtly hostile, 95 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 4: frequently unfair interview and interviewer and defends policies and argues points. Man, 96 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 4: that's beautiful. That is so American. George Washington would look 97 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,559 Speaker 4: at that and say, at a boy, you understand the job. 98 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 4: For all of Trump's faults and excesses, he is there 99 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 4: to talk to the American people, and I love them. 100 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 3: On Meet the Press for the third time in one 101 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 3: hundred days. 102 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: I know. Compare that to the Mummy. 103 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 3: Good lord, Hey Biden Obama, anybody do Fox three times 104 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 3: in your first under days? 105 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: Yeah? 106 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 4: Go Tototoe with Brett Bhaer, who is infinitely more fair 107 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 4: than kristin the She Wolf Welker now she Wolf Wolf, 108 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 4: that's what I call her. Free of first Amendment free speech. 109 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 4: Perhaps you've heard of it speaking of the Constitution. So 110 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 4: this little exchange caught to some ears and was troubling 111 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 4: to some folks. Let's go ahead and play it first. 112 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 4: Just the first clip, handsOn, if you be's a kind, your. 113 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 3: Secretary of State says, everyone who's here, citizens and non citizens, 114 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 3: deserved to process. 115 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: Do you agree, mister, I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. 116 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, the Fifth Amendment, I don't know. 117 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: It seems it might say that. But if you're talking 118 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: about that, then we'd have to have a million or 119 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: two million, or three million trials. We have thousands of 120 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: people that are some murderers and some drug dealers and 121 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: some of the worst people on earth. But it is 122 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: some of the worst, most dangerous people on earth. And 123 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 2: I was elected to get them the hell out of here, 124 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: and the courts are holding me from doing it. 125 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 4: Okay, So the Fifth Amendment clearly states something Trump either 126 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 4: doesn't know it or won't admit it. That is, you know, 127 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 4: the mainstream media is coverage. Then the next clip, But even. 128 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: Give in those numbers that you're talking about, don't you 129 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: need to uphold the Constitution of the United States' Press. 130 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. 131 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant 132 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: lawyers that work for me, and they are going to 133 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: obviously follow what the Supreme Court said. 134 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: What you said is not what I heard. 135 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: The Supreme Court said they have a different interpretation. 136 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 3: So I wish he would have said maybe he did 137 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: this on purpose because it gets people going crazy if 138 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 3: he just won't flat out say I'll uphold the Constitution, 139 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 3: and that might be what he wants. He wants, he 140 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: might want people to be going crazy with the headlines 141 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 3: that started yesterday morning. Trump refuses to say he would 142 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 3: will uphold the Constitution because he could have said, well, 143 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: I'll uphold the Constitution, but we need to figure out 144 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 3: what the interpretation is. And that's I mean, because that's 145 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 3: what he's saying. Yeah, that would have been much better messaging. 146 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 3: Just a quick aside. 147 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 4: I'm a little stressed this morning by proxy, because my 148 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 4: youngest kid, my daughter, is she has her constitutional law 149 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 4: final for a second semester of law school at a 150 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 4: You know, there are a lot of fake graduate degrees 151 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 4: out there. The law degree from where she's going eight fake. 152 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: She is working harder than she ever Hesner's life and 153 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 4: is very, very stressed and has no idea how she's 154 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 4: doing so. 155 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: Anyway, we were just going over. 156 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 4: Various due process, procedural and substantive due process stuff last night. 157 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 4: She was kind of running through it to make sure 158 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 4: it was fairly solid in her head. And again I 159 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 4: wish Trump had said precisely what Jack just said. But 160 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 4: the idea of who gets what due process in what way, 161 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 4: on under which circumstances is presented by Kristen Welker as 162 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 4: I mean, can you murder your spouse? I mean, as 163 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 4: if it's that simple a question, can you murder your 164 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 4: spouse because you're tired of them? She presents it as 165 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 4: if it is just a black and white yes or 166 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 4: no question, And at its very core, will you up 167 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 4: hold the constitution? Do people deserve due process? The question 168 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 4: is clearly yes, and I wish he had said yes. 169 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 4: But the question of what do process in what circumstances 170 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 4: and arrived at in what way is, especially to a layman, 171 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 4: enormously complicated, full of nuance, full of Supreme Court precedents 172 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 4: and interpretation. 173 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: It is far from a simple question. 174 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 4: And he knew she was trying to trap him into 175 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 4: either saying we got to turn loose to trendy Iragua 176 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 4: guys who have become this weird cause celeb on the left. 177 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: It's like trend de Iragua is the. 178 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 4: New like fugitive slaves or you know, Vietnamese refugees or 179 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 4: something like that. Suddenly you got like radical judges taking 180 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 4: them into their homes and raising the muon as their own. 181 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 4: What the hell are you people thinking? 182 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 3: Do you think he's just not good on a nuance 183 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 3: on an answer like that, or did he want the 184 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 3: big splashy headline of Trump refuses to say hill up 185 00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 3: old Constitution. 186 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 4: He didn't think it was deliberate because I've heard him 187 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 4: a struggle or or not want to engage on constitutional 188 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 4: questions like that a lot. 189 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 3: Because he could have so easily said, courts have been 190 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 3: interpreting what the founders meant by the Constitution since it 191 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 3: was signed. Yeah, and that's what we're going to do now. 192 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 3: I will uphold what the courts decide. But that's a 193 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 3: very open question. Would be a perfectly reasonable answer. 194 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 4: Right, yes, but well yeah, I know, And as always 195 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 4: I wish I could have stepped in and said, well, yes, 196 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 4: of course, we'll uphold the Constitution? But in what way 197 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 4: is the question? These questions are enormously complicated, kristin again 198 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 4: century resident differing interpretations, you witch, you know, so anyway, 199 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 4: everybody wants to jump down his throat over that. 200 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: But it's what the fact that the President won't answer 201 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 3: yes to we you'll uphold the Constitution? I mean, that's 202 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 3: a pretty good way to get people out. 203 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I know, I know it absolutely is, and 204 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 4: that is a fair point. But and I would hope 205 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 4: having criticized Trump a significant amount in the last forty 206 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 4: five minutes of the show, we've earned some credibility when 207 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 4: I say I could read Trump's mind and he knew 208 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 4: because Kristen Welker is evil and a witch, but she's calculating, 209 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 4: and he knew. She was asking will you uphold the 210 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 4: Constitution in the manner which I'm suggesting you should? Right, Yeah, 211 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 4: that was what that question actually meant. And I wish 212 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 4: he was a little more skilled at parrying it, because 213 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 4: I don't think it was deliberate, but it was a 214 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 4: gotcha question. I get why he answered the way he did, 215 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 4: and I can hear some of my friends and trusted 216 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 4: advisors who are constitutional scholars howling at the radio, saying, Joseph, 217 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 4: when you're asked if you're going to uphold the Constitution, 218 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 4: you say yes. 219 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: And fair enough. But I stand by my point of view. 220 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: As Mark Halpern writes, today, we're on day four of 221 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 3: Trump making a joke about being the next pope, so 222 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 3: he just continues to troll people. 223 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: Sorry. 224 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 3: Sean Comb's trial starts today, the criminal trial, which is 225 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: gonna be nothing compared to the civil trial. 226 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: When they go after his billions of dollars. 227 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 4: Although the criminal trial is going to be a pretty 228 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 4: good prelude. 229 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, might put him in jail the rest of 230 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 3: his life too, probably rightfully.

You were probably doing the worst 562 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 3: work out there to throw them at the front lines. 563 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 3: So yeah, who's going to. 564 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: Do those jobs? 565 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 4: So it's mostly hard work in jobs in Russia's East. 566 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 4: It's much more depopulated eastern parts. They're not in the 567 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 4: big cities or anything like that, but. 568 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: Enjoy the salt mines. 569 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 4: North Koreans officials have expressed a hope that more North 570 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 4: Korean workers could soon arrive in major cities.

In recent months, dozens of 579 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 4: adolescents as young as fourteen have been arrested across Europe 580 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 4: for allegedly plotting attacks against music venues, shopping centers, and 581 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 4: sites of worship.

It mainly targeted the LGBTQ community. The goal, 619 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 6: according to police, terror for fame on social media, but 620 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 6: the plan foiled just in time, keeping the more than 621 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 6: two million people that attended the free concert. 622 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 4: Safe Brazilian would be same seeking terrorists. 623 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: Is that? 624 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 3: What was the first story I saw on this yesterday? 625 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 3: They made know they think even no clarity as to 626 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 3: who it was behind it, And of course my first thought, 627 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 3: based on what you were talking about the last segment, 628 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 3: was okay, were these is lomists? Like has been the 629 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 3: case a whole bunch of times with attempts on various concerts, 630 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 3: it got caught, And this version in CNN has it 631 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 3: closer to what you're just talking about. They wanted to 632 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 3: gain notoriety on social media. 633 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a very odd Brazilian variation on the theme. 634 00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 3: I'm not sure they're super anti LGBTQ plus. 635 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: Or whatever reason. 636 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 4: All right, fine, I think just that, you know, it's fine. 637 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 4: I don't believe in killing anybody for any reason. No, 638 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 4: if they don't have a coming, it's just I think 639 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 4: this is a blip and a very weird in Brazil variation. 640 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 4: But getting back to Europe, at least momentarily, it's a 641 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 4: huge and growing problem teenage militant Islamist in Europe, and 642 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 4: as the journal puts it, young people are increasingly drawn 643 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 4: into online communities. I mean we could that could be 644 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 4: the opening sentence to a bunch of different discussions. Sure 645 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:41,720 Speaker 4: that propagate extremist views, conspiracy theories, hello and violence. Behind 646 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 4: the teen extremism lies a combination of factors. An unprecedented 647 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 4: spread of extremist propaganda accelerated partly by artificial intelligence and 648 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 4: the powerful hold on youth by social media such as 649 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 4: TikTok with increasingly sophisticated means of retaining user attention. And 650 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 4: then the Gazo War, which is really ramped up anger 651 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 4: and extremism. But two thirds of the sixty Islamic extremists 652 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 4: arrested on terrorism charges across Europe following the start of 653 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 4: the Gods War, two thirds of the more teenagers. And 654 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 4: then how is AI exascerbating it? 655 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,720 Speaker 1: Is it the bots? The fake accounts? 656 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 4: No No, it's the algorithms, oh, that keep you addicted 657 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 4: to TikTok or Instagram or YouTube or whatever, or feed 658 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 4: you the stuff you want exactly.

You're part of profits. 663 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awful. Armstrong and Getty
