WEBVTT - Witches & Trends

0:00:01.400 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty Armstrong and

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Jackie and now he Armstrong and Eddy. We've done Cold Turkey.

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 2>That means that we're not losing you know, we lost

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 2>a trillion dollars to China, a trillion dollars. That means

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 2>we're not losing a trillion dollars when we go Cold

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Turkey because we're not doing business with him right now,

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:38.199
<v Speaker 2>and they want to make a deal. They want to

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.200
<v Speaker 2>make a deal very badly. We'll see how that all

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:41.880
<v Speaker 2>turns out, but it's got to be a fair deal.

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>So well, what about my never ending lust for pencils?

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.520
<v Speaker 3>So we got our trade war going on with China,

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.520
<v Speaker 3>and Trump says, I meet the press yesterday. Your kids

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 3>have twenty dollars, you have too many pencils, which was

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 3>not thing to say.

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't know what that's all about.

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 3>And I think telling Americans they have too much stuff

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.319
<v Speaker 3>is not the best message in the world. We got

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 3>this text though, regarding the dolls and pencils. Don't you

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 3>think we need to buy fewer, nicer things that are

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 3>American made since wages are higher here. It's the trade

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 3>off of the coupling from China. Someone needs to be

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 3>the adult, and Trump is doing it. It's like giving

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 3>kids joke food. A responsible parent cuts it off and

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.759
<v Speaker 3>gives them nourishing food because that's what is best. Trump's

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 3>right on this. American needs to do hard things. Yeah,

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm fine with the idea that, you know, let's have

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 3>slightly higher quality stuff, or just make the message. You know,

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 3>whether you like it or not, we can't continue to

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 3>live off China manufacturing everything. But just flat out saying

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 3>you have too much is not a good statement. Nobody

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 3>wants to hear that. Ever, Well, you have too much

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 3>in your paying too little for it. Yeah, Now, to

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 3>completely restructure our trade relationship with China, not only is

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 3>that defensible, it's iron clad.

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 4>I mean we must. He's one hundred percent right about that.

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 3>What are you doing with all those pencils? Three hundred pencils?

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 3>A couple pencils is fine, you wear to your order exactly.

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 3>The presentation of the idea was was odd. I'll just

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 3>say that.

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, the idea that the after effect of restructuring

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 4>our trade agreement with China is to some extent less

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 4>cheap stuff on shelves. Well, yeah, that's absolutely true.

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 3>On the other handy out of more than the pencils,

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 3>I find pencils funny because I just don't know a

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 3>whole lot of adults that use a lot of pencils.

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 3>But uh, just flat out saying your kids get too

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 3>many toys for Christmas?

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. Well, and just and to our our text,

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I would just say.

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 4>The the vast, vast majority of the manufacturing that is

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 4>no longer going to be in China is not going

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 4>to be in the United States, going to be in

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 4>Vietnam and Malaysia and India and a number.

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:53.799
<v Speaker 1>Of other places.

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 4>So the idea that we will on shore tremendous amounts

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 4>of manufacturing restructure the American economy, it's just not realistic.

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.080
<v Speaker 4>It would that would take And this is this is

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.639
<v Speaker 4>my objection to it as a lover of liberty and

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 4>mostly free markets. And as always, we're putting China the

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 4>dirty commis aside, and we're putting critical industries for defense

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 4>and pharmaceuticals and that sort of stuff aside. I'm just

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.799
<v Speaker 4>talking about dolls and pencils. It used to be in

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 4>econ classes. You talk about guns and butter right, Well,

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:28.519
<v Speaker 4>now it's dolls and pencils.

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Evidently that's fine.

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 4>Uh. It would take to to like on shore as

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 4>much as he's talking about, and like completely regrow the

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 4>American manufacturing world of post w W two, which is

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 4>wildly unrealistic for a number of reasons. It would take

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 4>so much central planning and so much government power. It

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 4>would be like living in Venezuela. You would have to

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 4>dictate millions and millions of choices by millions and millions

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 4>of American economic actors every single day to get where

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 4>he's talking about every hour real Oh yeah, yeah, every second.

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>It's not realistic.

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 4>On the other hand, I keep going back to Howard

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 4>Lutnick wrote a piece in the Journal over the weekend,

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 4>and I'll quote some of it for you. Later hinted

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 4>rather strongly that this is all just restructuring trade agreements.

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Is this is not a.

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 4>Bluff exactly, because if you don't come correct, if you

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 4>don't come to the bargaining table, the tariffs will stay

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 4>in place. But that's what it's all about, or so

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 4>Lutnik seemed to be hinting. Okay, so unless you have

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 4>more on that topic. That was one of them.

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Get used to scrawling things with rocks or something, I

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 3>guess in a pencil less world.

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 4>Luckily, I've hoarded enough writing utensils of various descriptions.

0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I'll be fine.

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 4>So the other soup a controversial thing that Trump uh

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:07.919
<v Speaker 4>said during the Meet the Press interview, and before we

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 4>get into it, is one more aside the fact that

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:16.720
<v Speaker 4>the leader of the free world wades into an overtly hostile,

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 4>frequently unfair interview and interviewer and defends policies and argues points. Man,

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 4>that's beautiful. That is so American. George Washington would look

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.559
<v Speaker 4>at that and say, at a boy, you understand the job.

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 4>For all of Trump's faults and excesses, he is there

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 4>to talk to the American people, and I love them.

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 3>On Meet the Press for the third time in one

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:42.840
<v Speaker 3>hundred days.

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I know. Compare that to the Mummy.

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:49.839
<v Speaker 3>Good lord, Hey Biden Obama, anybody do Fox three times

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 3>in your first under days?

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:55.600
<v Speaker 4>Go Tototoe with Brett Bhaer, who is infinitely more fair

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.919
<v Speaker 4>than kristin the She Wolf Welker now she Wolf Wolf,

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 4>that's what I call her. Free of first Amendment free speech.

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Perhaps you've heard of it speaking of the Constitution. So

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 4>this little exchange caught to some ears and was troubling

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 4>to some folks. Let's go ahead and play it first.

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 4>Just the first clip, handsOn, if you be's a kind, your.

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.040
<v Speaker 3>Secretary of State says, everyone who's here, citizens and non citizens,

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:20.039
<v Speaker 3>deserved to process.

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you agree, mister, I don't know. I'm not a lawyer.

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Well, the Fifth Amendment, I don't know.

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 2>It seems it might say that. But if you're talking

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 2>about that, then we'd have to have a million or

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 2>two million, or three million trials. We have thousands of

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 2>people that are some murderers and some drug dealers and

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 2>some of the worst people on earth. But it is

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 2>some of the worst, most dangerous people on earth. And

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I was elected to get them the hell out of here,

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 2>and the courts are holding me from doing it.

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So the Fifth Amendment clearly states something Trump either

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.840
<v Speaker 4>doesn't know it or won't admit it. That is, you know,

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 4>the mainstream media is coverage. Then the next clip, But even.

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Give in those numbers that you're talking about, don't you

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>need to uphold the Constitution of the United States' Press.

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 2>I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>lawyers that work for me, and they are going to

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.440
<v Speaker 2>obviously follow what the Supreme Court said.

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>What you said is not what I heard.

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 2>The Supreme Court said they have a different interpretation.

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 3>So I wish he would have said maybe he did

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 3>this on purpose because it gets people going crazy if

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 3>he just won't flat out say I'll uphold the Constitution,

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 3>and that might be what he wants. He wants, he

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 3>might want people to be going crazy with the headlines

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 3>that started yesterday morning. Trump refuses to say he would

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 3>will uphold the Constitution because he could have said, well,

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 3>I'll uphold the Constitution, but we need to figure out

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 3>what the interpretation is. And that's I mean, because that's

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 3>what he's saying. Yeah, that would have been much better messaging.

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 3>Just a quick aside.

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm a little stressed this morning by proxy, because my

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 4>youngest kid, my daughter, is she has her constitutional law

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 4>final for a second semester of law school at a

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 4>You know, there are a lot of fake graduate degrees

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 4>out there. The law degree from where she's going eight fake.

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 4>She is working harder than she ever Hesner's life and

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 4>is very, very stressed and has no idea how she's

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 4>doing so.

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, we were just going over.

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Various due process, procedural and substantive due process stuff last night.

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 4>She was kind of running through it to make sure

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 4>it was fairly solid in her head. And again I

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 4>wish Trump had said precisely what Jack just said. But

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 4>the idea of who gets what due process in what way,

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 4>on under which circumstances is presented by Kristen Welker as

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean, can you murder your spouse? I mean, as

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 4>if it's that simple a question, can you murder your

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.959
<v Speaker 4>spouse because you're tired of them? She presents it as

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.560
<v Speaker 4>if it is just a black and white yes or

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 4>no question, And at its very core, will you up

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.839
<v Speaker 4>hold the constitution? Do people deserve due process? The question

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 4>is clearly yes, and I wish he had said yes.

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 4>But the question of what do process in what circumstances

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 4>and arrived at in what way is, especially to a layman,

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 4>enormously complicated, full of nuance, full of Supreme Court precedents

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 4>and interpretation.

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 1>It is far from a simple question.

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 4>And he knew she was trying to trap him into

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 4>either saying we got to turn loose to trendy Iragua

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 4>guys who have become this weird cause celeb on the left.

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like trend de Iragua is the.

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 4>New like fugitive slaves or you know, Vietnamese refugees or

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 4>something like that. Suddenly you got like radical judges taking

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.719
<v Speaker 4>them into their homes and raising the muon as their own.

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.080
<v Speaker 4>What the hell are you people thinking?

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.079
<v Speaker 3>Do you think he's just not good on a nuance

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 3>on an answer like that, or did he want the

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 3>big splashy headline of Trump refuses to say hill up

0:09:58.800 --> 0:09:59.559
<v Speaker 3>old Constitution.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.960
<v Speaker 4>He didn't think it was deliberate because I've heard him

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 4>a struggle or or not want to engage on constitutional

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 4>questions like that a lot.

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Because he could have so easily said, courts have been

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 3>interpreting what the founders meant by the Constitution since it

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.959
<v Speaker 3>was signed. Yeah, and that's what we're going to do now.

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 3>I will uphold what the courts decide. But that's a

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 3>very open question. Would be a perfectly reasonable answer.

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 4>Right, yes, but well yeah, I know, And as always

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 4>I wish I could have stepped in and said, well, yes,

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 4>of course, we'll uphold the Constitution? But in what way

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 4>is the question? These questions are enormously complicated, kristin again

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 4>century resident differing interpretations, you witch, you know, so anyway,

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 4>everybody wants to jump down his throat over that.

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 3>But it's what the fact that the President won't answer

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.199
<v Speaker 3>yes to we you'll uphold the Constitution? I mean, that's

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:55.680
<v Speaker 3>a pretty good way to get people out.

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I know, I know it absolutely is, and

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 4>that is a fair point. But and I would hope

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 4>having criticized Trump a significant amount in the last forty

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 4>five minutes of the show, we've earned some credibility when

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:16.400
<v Speaker 4>I say I could read Trump's mind and he knew

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 4>because Kristen Welker is evil and a witch, but she's calculating,

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:26.680
<v Speaker 4>and he knew. She was asking will you uphold the

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 4>Constitution in the manner which I'm suggesting you should? Right, Yeah,

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 4>that was what that question actually meant. And I wish

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.720
<v Speaker 4>he was a little more skilled at parrying it, because

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it was deliberate, but it was a

0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.199
<v Speaker 4>gotcha question. I get why he answered the way he did,

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 4>and I can hear some of my friends and trusted

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 4>advisors who are constitutional scholars howling at the radio, saying, Joseph,

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 4>when you're asked if you're going to uphold the Constitution,

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 4>you say yes.

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>And fair enough. But I stand by my point of view.

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 3>As Mark Halpern writes, today, we're on day four of

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Trump making a joke about being the next pope, so

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 3>he just continues to troll people.

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Sorry.

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 3>Sean Comb's trial starts today, the criminal trial, which is

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 3>gonna be nothing compared to the civil trial.

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.560
<v Speaker 1>When they go after his billions of dollars.

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 4>Although the criminal trial is going to be a pretty

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 4>good prelude.

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, might put him in jail the rest of

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 3>his life too, probably rightfully. So anyway, let's talk about today.

0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 3>I hope you can stick around.

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 1>This is what the doctor's coming to.

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 5>Stephan Curry rips the Cords, Vintage Curry, the Warriors sniffing

0:12:53.000 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 5>it out. Curry, buddy Heal, Hondy heel to three dugling

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.199
<v Speaker 5>has seen this team going a twelve run.

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 3>And the Warriors win Game seven against Houston, knock out

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 3>the two seed as the seventh seed, and there you go.

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 1>As I'm a Warriors fan, I was very excited with

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>that game.

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 4>H Bandwagon and my lifetime was on the road, and

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.439
<v Speaker 4>so the heroic play is created with all.

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Right, I'm dying, and it's just like, I feel like

0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 3>it's just a little gift for me as I, as

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.440
<v Speaker 3>I expire comfort on your dB in the old deathbed,

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 3>spend a lot of time in the old deathbed.

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 4>So, speaking of preventing your demise, I read with interest

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 4>a piece in the Journal over the weekend the Maha

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 4>friendly app that's driving food companies crazy. It's an app

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 4>called Yuca, and there are others like it that scan

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 4>the barcode of.

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 1>The food you're buying.

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 4>And because like everything we buy has bar codes these days,

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 4>it's weird. It used to be you'd go to a

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:55.440
<v Speaker 4>market and anyway and it will rate it for you.

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 4>It scores it on nutritional quality, the number of additives

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 4>like a process crap, organic status, which whatever. That's kind

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 4>of silly, but just because organic doesn't mean a specific

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.679
<v Speaker 4>thing really, but I thought, what the heck, I would

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 4>get it and see what it thought of. For instance,

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 4>my mid show snacks, because I always have a little

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 4>snack midway through the show, so I was going to

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 4>scan them live.

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Now, first of all, I'm not going to give bread.

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 3>You're talking a liquid snack like you carry around or

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 3>good lord, please let's see all right here this is

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:31.680
<v Speaker 3>I will tell you this.

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 4>This is like nuts and dried fruit snacks that I

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 4>really like these days.

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Let me scan it.

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, excellent, seventy eight out of one hundred. Oh wow,

0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 4>so that quickly you can scan anything and figure out. Oh,

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 4>Henry my son is gonna love this. He's on a

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 4>health food kick. Now Here is my blueberry almond bar

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 4>from a startup.

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Kind of boutiquey.

0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 3>These things are hard to tell any any breakfast bar

0:14:58.800 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 3>sort of thing.

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 4>The hardest thing protein or a probiotic protein bar. They

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 4>really emphasize their simplicity, non gmo, that sort of thing.

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm curious scanning scanning a good fifty four out of

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 4>one hundred. It's a green light, but it's it's not

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 4>as high as score as I expected because it's got

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 4>a very very simple ingredient list and the higher score

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 4>is better. Yeah, okay, now here is my major corporation,

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 4>uh protein bar.

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Nature Valley. I eat those all the time.

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh I can get a good brand being healthy, right exactly, Well, it's.

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Right in the name Nature Valley.

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 3>What can be better, and it's got a healthy color

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 3>on the rapper, so it's got to be healthy.

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 4>Right, and rather an impressive length list of ingredients.

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Me and my kids have eaten a million of those

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 3>with the idea that let's have a healthy snack.

0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh, thirty three out of one hundred poor. Yeah, that

0:15:58.360 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't sound like a very high score.

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, I should have intentionally brought something I

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 4>knew to be crap. I was just there's a rating

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 4>below poor called like forbidden or don't you dare or something.

0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 3>I was just thinking about how like you say, when

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 3>you drive through if you're driving somewhere and it's got

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 3>one of those electronic signs that show how fast you're going,

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.160
<v Speaker 3>you try to see how fast you can get on

0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 3>that thing against.

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 1>What its rules are.

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.440
<v Speaker 3>I want to do that with the food stuff, some

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 3>of the stuff I eat. I want to see how

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 3>low a score I can get on something that I

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 3>actually regularly eat.

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Wow, something, it's like a five. You should never eat

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>this underneath circumstances unless you're going to die otherwise, no

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>wonder you're on your dB anyway.

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.800
<v Speaker 4>So there is all sorts of really interesting compelling news

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.040
<v Speaker 4>today that has nothing to do.

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 1>With Trump's a hero, Trump's in an idiot.

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 4>Whether a domestic or globally that I'm looking forward to

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 4>getting to next segment if we can squeeze it in

0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 4>everything from a real victory for school choice to a

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 4>real victory for sanity and dealing with junkies.

0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 3>And one of the world's greatest investors stepped down over

0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 3>the weekend, Warren Buffett, finally releasing The Rains at age

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 3>ninety three or whatever he is. His outgoing speech I

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 3>found really interesting in Food for Thought. We can have

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.920
<v Speaker 3>a discussion about like the purpose of life and all

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:10.639
<v Speaker 3>that sort of stuff that I thought was really great.

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I have thoughts. Certainly. Hope you can stay tuned.

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 4>If you can't, just grab it via podcast later on

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.679
<v Speaker 4>Armstrong and Getty on demand. You ought to subscribe good

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Stuff to come stay with us Armstrong and Getty did.

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.159
<v Speaker 3>He's going to make the argument that hey, I was

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.720
<v Speaker 3>a swinger with a wild light sexual lifestyle, but it

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 3>was all consensual. And I mean, you know, we entertainers,

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:38.480
<v Speaker 3>we have kind of wild sex lives, so right right.

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:43.000
<v Speaker 4>And he's got a dream team OJSQUE, a legal dream

0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:47.120
<v Speaker 4>team that's pretty impressive. And he turned down a fairly

0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.120
<v Speaker 4>reasonable plea bargain, according to you know sources I've read

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 4>ten days ago and said, no, let's take this thing

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:52.760
<v Speaker 4>to trial.

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 3>He'd be in a lot better shape if he didn't

0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 3>have that video out there of him beating up that

0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 3>girl and dragging her down the hallway in her by

0:17:59.080 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 3>her ponytail.

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, since he is accused not of wild crazy sex,

0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:09.680
<v Speaker 4>which is not a crime, drug them, well, exactly, drugging people,

0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.400
<v Speaker 4>beating them, compelling them to do things against their will,

0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:16.479
<v Speaker 4>that sort of thing. And you know, bringing sex workers

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.080
<v Speaker 4>back and forth across state lines, which is still illegal

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 4>in certain places. Anyway, it's gonna be a hell of

0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.919
<v Speaker 4>a trial. The jury selection could take forever.

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, you got the whole Trying to find somebody

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:30.040
<v Speaker 3>who doesn't already have an opinion.

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 1>That'd be hard.

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:36.199
<v Speaker 4>And I've gone through many jury selection processes where not

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.200
<v Speaker 4>only do they ask you if you have a preset opinion,

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.760
<v Speaker 4>but the defense in particular wants to know, well, both

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.120
<v Speaker 4>sides really do you have certain sympathies? So I could

0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 4>see you're sitting there in the jury pool and the

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.840
<v Speaker 4>judge asks you, all right, how many of you've gotten

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.879
<v Speaker 4>all oiled up with friends and strangers in that group

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 4>sex and people are like well as a matter of fact,

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.720
<v Speaker 4>and everybody looks at them all.

0:18:58.119 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that could be wild.

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 3>About musically, They said that was going to be a

0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:06.159
<v Speaker 3>thing because some people have a bad attitude about like

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.800
<v Speaker 3>the whole rap hip hop world, you know, just automatically, yeah,

0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:14.680
<v Speaker 3>but some people have a very good, maybe forgiving attitude

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:15.880
<v Speaker 3>about the rap hip hop world.

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 1>That would work the other directions. So that's kind of weird.

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh right.

0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.880
<v Speaker 4>They these are their heroes, their musical heroes and cultural

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 4>heroes on those kind of trials.

0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Did you follow any of the Harvey Weinstein trial from Friday?

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Just reading about it a bit? Oh my god.

0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:31.879
<v Speaker 3>One of the women on the stand who Harvey Weinstein

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:36.800
<v Speaker 3>raped obviously several times. He's already been found guilty, I think,

0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.240
<v Speaker 3>but it doesn't matter to get into the particulars why

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:42.639
<v Speaker 3>they're going through this again. But I mean, his lawyer

0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.560
<v Speaker 3>went at her after her heart, and she started crying

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.440
<v Speaker 3>and you're not gonna you're not gonna make me look

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.320
<v Speaker 3>like I am lying or whatever.

0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I was raped and.

0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 3>They had to stop the proceedings and she had to

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.120
<v Speaker 3>leave for a wild But I mean, that's why people

0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 3>don't come forward, because you're gonna get up there and

0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:01.720
<v Speaker 3>get badgered like you're just some sort of sl bloody liar, right,

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 3>which sometimes you are, which is the problem.

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.000
<v Speaker 1>That's why you got to go through this whole process.

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.520
<v Speaker 3>But you know, if you're actually raped by this big,

0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 3>ugly monster dude and then you're getting that'd be tough.

0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:15.320
<v Speaker 1>That would be tough.

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, and the point's been made many times, but it's

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 4>worth making again that slutty liars get rape sure. Brutal, Yeah, yeah,

0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:30.440
<v Speaker 4>just just terrible. The like whack a dooodle rights embrace

0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 4>of Harvey Weinstein.

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we can talk about it somebody. I don't know

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:34.480
<v Speaker 1>about that. Is that a thing?

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, one hundred percent? Yeah really yeah. What what's

0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:42.400
<v Speaker 4>the overall theme there? Well, he was targeted by the

0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 4>left wing me too woke establishment, okay, and he's the

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 4>enemy of my enemy, therefore he is my friend. It

0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:54.480
<v Speaker 4>reminds of when we have mocked this brutally through the

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 4>years of If Dick, Flip and Cheney were to come

0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:01.879
<v Speaker 4>out and say I don't like Trump, he would be

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:06.639
<v Speaker 4>on MSNBC and Rachel Madow would be saying this seasoned leader,

0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 4>this man who guided America through the minut You criticize

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 4>the other side or whatever, or become the enemy of

0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 4>my enemy.

0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:17.240
<v Speaker 1>You're lyon I lit. Liz Cheney is the best example.

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:22.840
<v Speaker 4>She is the most conservative member of Congress statistically. Yeah,

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:26.760
<v Speaker 4>it was, but because she was on board with impeaching Trump,

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 4>she was a hero. So let's hit a couple of

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 4>headlines worthy of our consideration, a few domestic and a

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:37.640
<v Speaker 4>few international. Texas just to prove the country's largest school

0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:42.480
<v Speaker 4>choice bill it is something. It's a billion dollar measure

0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:46.640
<v Speaker 4>signed into law on Saturday, capping off a thirty year

0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 4>effort to bring universal.

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 1>School choice to Texas.

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 4>It launches at the start of next year, like next fall.

0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 4>It'll place a billion dollars toward education savings accounts over

0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:00.680
<v Speaker 4>the course of two years. Families can receive roughly ten

0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:04.399
<v Speaker 4>thousand dollars per year for each child. Children with disabilities

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 4>are eligible for significantly more, while homeschoolers could receive up

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:11.199
<v Speaker 4>to two thousand dollars a year for a curriculum and

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:13.480
<v Speaker 4>that sort of thing. Families could use the funds for

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 4>private school tuition and other school related expenses like textbooks, transportation,

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:22.159
<v Speaker 4>and therapy. Any almost any school age child who is

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:26.720
<v Speaker 4>a US citizen or lawfully gavin in the country would

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:30.960
<v Speaker 4>be eligible to receive funding under the program. Step one

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:37.000
<v Speaker 4>and a big one to undermining the stranglehold the evil

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 4>teachers unions have on government schools. So good for you, Texas.

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 4>We were talking Jack Friday, you had to step out

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:48.159
<v Speaker 4>for a minute. We were talking about Ohio passing a

0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:53.880
<v Speaker 4>significant school choice measure under the fairly moderate Mike Dwine,

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 4>and they've had some fantastic success in that, so that's good.

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:00.960
<v Speaker 4>This is believe it or not, from the New York Times.

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:06.440
<v Speaker 4>The headline is We've lost our way. San Francisco rethinks

0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:11.200
<v Speaker 4>drug paraphernalia handouts, and they're talking about Daniel Lurie, who's

0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:14.919
<v Speaker 4>the city's new thoroughly reasonable mayor, is scaling back a

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:18.719
<v Speaker 4>program that gave away clean foil pipes and plastic straws

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:19.800
<v Speaker 4>for fentanyl consumption.

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:21.720
<v Speaker 3>I saw a lot of that when I was in

0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:25.640
<v Speaker 3>San Francisco two weeks ago. I saw people because, as

0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:27.760
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned, I walked through the corner of the Tenderloin

0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 3>with my son just so you could see it, and

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:33.680
<v Speaker 3>I saw foil straws. I saw all that sort of stuff,

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 3>people doing it, like just sitting on the sidewalk or

0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:39.200
<v Speaker 3>on the railing, or pushing it around in their wheelchairs

0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:40.159
<v Speaker 3>or all kinds of stuff.

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:42.840
<v Speaker 1>And it's because it's so easy to get. The city

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 1>has been providing it. Yeah.

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:49.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm looking at this picture in New York Times,

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 4>and I know that corner well funny. Nonprofits will have

0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:55.640
<v Speaker 4>to direct people toward treatment. Wow, what a n oh,

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 4>so not being a junkie anymore, not making it easier

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:02.160
<v Speaker 4>to be They want them to not be a junkie anymore.

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:07.280
<v Speaker 4>I'll be damned. But consider this. This is Heather Knight,

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:11.639
<v Speaker 4>who's their San Francisco person. Dig these the lead couple

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:15.120
<v Speaker 4>of sentences from the New York Times, and you tell

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:18.920
<v Speaker 4>me whether than the tone of the national conversation is shifted.

0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:23.080
<v Speaker 4>Plastic straws are banned in San Francisco, at least if

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:27.440
<v Speaker 4>you want to drink a soda or lemonade. Those smoking fentanyl, however,

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:31.120
<v Speaker 4>have been able to get them for free at taxpayers expense. Wow,

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:34.760
<v Speaker 4>and that's not written by National Reviewer Fox, that's the

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:36.200
<v Speaker 4>New York Times.

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:40.359
<v Speaker 4>There was also a time five years ago when the

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:43.440
<v Speaker 4>city helped pay for a billboard that showed smiling, glittery

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:44.119
<v Speaker 4>party goers.

0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Quote do it with friends.

0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:49.920
<v Speaker 4>The public service message said, urging drug dealers, I'm sorry

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:52.680
<v Speaker 4>drug users to consume with others so they could treat

0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 4>a potential overdose. Wow, smiling glittery party goers because that's

0:24:58.080 --> 0:24:59.960
<v Speaker 4>what it looks like the whole fentanyl world.

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh lord.

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, take a walk down Eddie Street in San Francisco,

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 4>or you know, the street of your choice that has

0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 4>not been cleaned up for tourists and all, and to.

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:12.719
<v Speaker 1>See whether it strikes you as glittery now or if

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>you've se any smiles.

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:20.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, great, Scott, speaking of the decay of society.

0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Although let's be positive here.

0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:26.680
<v Speaker 4>If San Francisco is saying this is madness, there's hope

0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:30.159
<v Speaker 4>Target is pulling the plug on self checkout. There's just

0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 4>too much theft now. Jack and I are bitterly disagreed

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 4>over self checkout. I enjoy it, Jack hates it.

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:37.719
<v Speaker 1>I do hate it.

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:40.879
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, there are so many people willing to steal

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:44.000
<v Speaker 4>so much they can't do it anymore.

0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:45.399
<v Speaker 1>That's something.

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's well, it's a it's an indicator.

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:50.639
<v Speaker 3>What was I at the other day. What did I

0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:56.119
<v Speaker 3>want to buy something very bland? Oh, I was going

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:58.399
<v Speaker 3>to try to take a hot bath because of my

0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 3>whole lung situation and see if that would help me.

0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:02.919
<v Speaker 3>I very rarely take a bath. As I often say,

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:06.879
<v Speaker 3>men from Kansas don't take baths. But I got some

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:09.440
<v Speaker 3>bubble bath. I wanted to buy some bubble bath, and

0:26:09.600 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 3>it was all locked up. It was all locked up.

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:13.280
<v Speaker 3>I had to have somebody go get a key to

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 3>unlock the bubble bath.

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 1>At this the bubble.

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:20.040
<v Speaker 4>Bathing tails for thirty four ninety nine. I don't know

0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:23.720
<v Speaker 4>what it costs me six dollars. Uh, yeah, that's unbelievable.

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:26.560
<v Speaker 4>Now men from Kansas will take a bath. If I'm

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:28.440
<v Speaker 4>a woman, I don't date a guy who takes a bath.

0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:32.879
<v Speaker 4>You better say like a brass tub in an old

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:34.440
<v Speaker 4>timey western hotel.

0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:36.760
<v Speaker 1>To get with a hole, to get with a hoe,

0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and you.

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:40.200
<v Speaker 4>Got a scrub brush to get the accumulated grip of fact,

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:42.639
<v Speaker 4>six weeks on the prairie off of you having not

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:46.600
<v Speaker 4>had any bathing. We have a long cattle drive exactly exactly.

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:48.840
<v Speaker 4>You finally wrapped up to cattle drive, and you're gonna

0:26:48.880 --> 0:26:53.040
<v Speaker 4>get with an old timey frilly sex worker back in dot.

0:26:53.040 --> 0:26:55.920
<v Speaker 3>The only time you're allowed to take a bath, exactly, exactly.

0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Here's my favorite story of the weekend, my favorite political

0:26:58.760 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 3>story of the weekend. Anyway, Did you see the cover

0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:06.040
<v Speaker 3>of New York magazine John Fetterman's face on it? The

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 3>vulnerability of John Fetterman. They did a hit piece on

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.120
<v Speaker 3>John Fetterman in New York Magazine. Oh my, John Fetterman

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.919
<v Speaker 3>insists he's in good health, but staffer's pasted in presence

0:27:14.960 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 3>say they no longer recognized the man they once knew,

0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:20.320
<v Speaker 3>with a whole bunch of not on the record quotes

0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:22.639
<v Speaker 3>about his brain doesn't work and he really shouldn't be

0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:26.919
<v Speaker 3>a senator right now because he no longer agrees with

0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:29.960
<v Speaker 3>their point of view. When he was in really bad

0:27:30.040 --> 0:27:32.919
<v Speaker 3>shape and he said hello, good night to open that debate,

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:36.280
<v Speaker 3>everybody covered for him called you an able list if

0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:38.800
<v Speaker 3>you criticized the fact that, hey, the dude's brain doesn't work,

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:41.760
<v Speaker 3>he shouldn't be a senator, And they ignored all that

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 3>criticized you. Now that he's anti Hamas, now that he's

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:50.160
<v Speaker 3>one hundred percent anti Hamas and on the side of Israel.

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:52.600
<v Speaker 3>New York magazine does a hit piece on him with

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:56.040
<v Speaker 3>no name quotes about how he shouldn't be in the

0:27:56.040 --> 0:27:59.120
<v Speaker 3>Senate and staffers are worried about his mental health. Isn't

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 3>that unbelievable? I mean, that's just or completely believable.

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:10.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, it's pathetic, pathetic. Moving to the foreign scene,

0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 4>Kim Jong Owen's latest gift to Russia is migrant workers.

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:17.400
<v Speaker 4>Having supplied tens of thousands of guys for a machine

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:21.760
<v Speaker 4>gun fodder for Vladimir Putin, what is the dictator of

0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 4>a starving country do next? He gives thousands and thousands

0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 4>of cheap, hard working, starving North Koreans to Russia's labor ministry.

0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:37.520
<v Speaker 4>Lack of workers is among Putin's biggest problems.

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Number one.

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:42.000
<v Speaker 4>They have an absolutely pathetic birth rate.

0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:43.600
<v Speaker 1>More on that to come.

0:28:43.680 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 4>Birth rates, by the way, it's a hell of a

0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:50.400
<v Speaker 4>story and exacerbating by the war. Hundreds of thousands of

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:53.600
<v Speaker 4>Russians have died in the fighting, according to Western estimates,

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 4>and countless others have fled the country. They think they're

0:28:57.600 --> 0:29:00.760
<v Speaker 4>one point five million dollar I'm sorry, one point five

0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:05.320
<v Speaker 4>million workers short of filling openings right now, and it

0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:07.120
<v Speaker 4>could easily be two point.

0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Four million within the next few years.

0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, yeah, so North Korean laborers are pouring into Russia.

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, they've lost almost a million men from the field

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 3>who are either dead or can't fight anymore, so you

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 3>probably can't work either. And they're taking in many cases

0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 3>the dregs of society. You were probably doing the worst

0:29:25.800 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 3>work out there to throw them at the front lines.

0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:29.560
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, who's going to.

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Do those jobs?

0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 4>So it's mostly hard work in jobs in Russia's East.

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:39.240
<v Speaker 4>It's much more depopulated eastern parts. They're not in the

0:29:39.240 --> 0:29:41.560
<v Speaker 4>big cities or anything like that, but.

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Enjoy the salt mines.

0:29:42.760 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 4>North Koreans officials have expressed a hope that more North

0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:50.520
<v Speaker 4>Korean workers could soon arrive in major cities. North corp

0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:53.720
<v Speaker 4>about they're prized by local employers for their low wages

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 4>and willingness to work twelve hour days without complaint. Wow,

0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 4>and be glad you were born in America. Yeah, and

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 4>final story from the Foreign Beat. Teenage terrorists are a

0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 4>growing threat to Europe's security. Law enforcers are overwhelmed and

0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 4>warned that a new generation of extremists is being radicalized online.

0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:19.440
<v Speaker 4>Terrorists in Europe are getting younger and younger, and authorities

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:22.360
<v Speaker 4>are struggling to find them. In recent months, dozens of

0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 4>adolescents as young as fourteen have been arrested across Europe

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:29.640
<v Speaker 4>for allegedly plotting attacks against music venues, shopping centers, and

0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 4>sites of worship. Here's a fourteen year old. These are

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:38.600
<v Speaker 4>all Islamists, by the way. Fourteen year old girl from

0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:43.239
<v Speaker 4>Montenegro arrested in Austria last year for allegedly plotting an

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:48.720
<v Speaker 4>attack on non believers. Another fourteen year old arrested in

0:30:48.720 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 4>February for plotting to attack a train station. Three Taylor

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:56.480
<v Speaker 4>Swift concerts in Vienna canceled last year after three suspects

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:59.120
<v Speaker 4>aged seventeen and nineteen were arrested for conspiring on what

0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:02.080
<v Speaker 4>the CIA called a well developed plot that could have

0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:06.880
<v Speaker 4>killed hundreds. While the US has long had a problem

0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 4>with school shooters, kind of well, yeah, yeah, it's a terrible,

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:15.840
<v Speaker 4>terrible thing, the growing teenage threat to Europe comes primarily

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 4>primarily from Islamists. I'm glad to see that stated as

0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:23.920
<v Speaker 4>straightforwardly as it is in the Wall Street Journal.

0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:26.720
<v Speaker 3>Here's my favorite dumb story that we won't actually do,

0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 3>And in an exclusive interview, with Fox News, Paula Abdul opened

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:35.640
<v Speaker 3>up about the challenges she had to overcome being the

0:31:35.680 --> 0:31:39.520
<v Speaker 3>only female judge on American Idol in the early two thousands. Man,

0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot in that headline to take apart a

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 3>show no longer are you talking about a quarter century

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:50.920
<v Speaker 3>ago with somebody completely irrelevant then very irrelevant? Now her

0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:58.960
<v Speaker 3>challenge of being one of three people that right, that'd

0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:02.239
<v Speaker 3>be right, be my all time bread sandwich headline I've

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:02.960
<v Speaker 3>ever seen.

0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:06.800
<v Speaker 4>If somehow God Almighty were too because it would take

0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:10.720
<v Speaker 4>God Almighty put together a list of things to worry

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:14.320
<v Speaker 4>about or think about today, where would that rank?

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Imagine being given that assignment. You're an interviewer, I want

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:18.840
<v Speaker 3>you to ask Paula Abdul about the challenges. We're not

0:32:18.880 --> 0:32:20.400
<v Speaker 3>trying to o bring again a blah blah blah. Do

0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:23.520
<v Speaker 3>you mean like back in two thousand and two? Really

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:27.959
<v Speaker 3>we got more in the way. Stay here, armstrong, hey yedtie.

0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 6>Authorities in Brazil on high alert after a bomb threat

0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:40.480
<v Speaker 6>at Lady Gaugu's concert was a verdict, police calling it

0:32:40.600 --> 0:32:44.880
<v Speaker 6>Operation Fake Monster, saying this was a coordinated attempt at

0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 6>mass murder and tonight two suspects, including the alleged ring leader,

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 6>under arrest. Police saying this was a plan on digital

0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:57.800
<v Speaker 6>platforms to commit a bomb attack with homemade explosive artifacts

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:04.280
<v Speaker 6>and molotov cocktails. It mainly targeted the LGBTQ community. The goal,

0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:09.160
<v Speaker 6>according to police, terror for fame on social media, but

0:33:09.200 --> 0:33:12.640
<v Speaker 6>the plan foiled just in time, keeping the more than

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:16.320
<v Speaker 6>two million people that attended the free concert.

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Safe Brazilian would be same seeking terrorists.

0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that?

0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:26.920
<v Speaker 3>What was the first story I saw on this yesterday?

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:30.400
<v Speaker 3>They made know they think even no clarity as to

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:32.280
<v Speaker 3>who it was behind it, And of course my first thought,

0:33:32.320 --> 0:33:34.160
<v Speaker 3>based on what you were talking about the last segment,

0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:36.800
<v Speaker 3>was okay, were these is lomists? Like has been the

0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:41.000
<v Speaker 3>case a whole bunch of times with attempts on various concerts,

0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:46.040
<v Speaker 3>it got caught, And this version in CNN has it

0:33:46.120 --> 0:33:48.120
<v Speaker 3>closer to what you're just talking about. They wanted to

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:49.880
<v Speaker 3>gain notoriety on social media.

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:55.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this is a very odd Brazilian variation on the theme.

0:33:55.800 --> 0:34:00.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure they're super anti LGBTQ plus.

0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Or whatever reason.

0:34:01.080 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 4>All right, fine, I think just that, you know, it's fine.

0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:07.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't believe in killing anybody for any reason. No,

0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:09.879
<v Speaker 4>if they don't have a coming, it's just I think

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:12.800
<v Speaker 4>this is a blip and a very weird in Brazil variation.

0:34:13.000 --> 0:34:18.520
<v Speaker 4>But getting back to Europe, at least momentarily, it's a

0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:24.839
<v Speaker 4>huge and growing problem teenage militant Islamist in Europe, and

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:27.920
<v Speaker 4>as the journal puts it, young people are increasingly drawn

0:34:28.080 --> 0:34:32.040
<v Speaker 4>into online communities. I mean we could that could be

0:34:32.080 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 4>the opening sentence to a bunch of different discussions. Sure

0:34:35.840 --> 0:34:41.720
<v Speaker 4>that propagate extremist views, conspiracy theories, hello and violence. Behind

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:45.400
<v Speaker 4>the teen extremism lies a combination of factors. An unprecedented

0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:51.239
<v Speaker 4>spread of extremist propaganda accelerated partly by artificial intelligence and

0:34:51.280 --> 0:34:54.359
<v Speaker 4>the powerful hold on youth by social media such as

0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:59.080
<v Speaker 4>TikTok with increasingly sophisticated means of retaining user attention. And

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:02.120
<v Speaker 4>then the Gazo War, which is really ramped up anger

0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:06.560
<v Speaker 4>and extremism. But two thirds of the sixty Islamic extremists

0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:10.600
<v Speaker 4>arrested on terrorism charges across Europe following the start of

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 4>the Gods War, two thirds of the more teenagers. And

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:15.120
<v Speaker 4>then how is AI exascerbating it?

0:35:15.200 --> 0:35:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Is it the bots? The fake accounts?

0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:20.760
<v Speaker 4>No No, it's the algorithms, oh, that keep you addicted

0:35:20.800 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 4>to TikTok or Instagram or YouTube or whatever, or feed

0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:27.840
<v Speaker 4>you the stuff you want exactly. It keeps you addicted

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:30.279
<v Speaker 4>to we must kill the Jews and the Infidels in

0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:31.040
<v Speaker 4>the name of Allah.

0:35:31.200 --> 0:35:32.799
<v Speaker 3>It makes it feel like there's way more of you

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:34.560
<v Speaker 3>than there is. You're part of profits.

0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's awful. Armstrong and Getty
