And then 7 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 2: the separate topic is our clever ai ads, the future 8 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 2: of all politics, and now raising money to make ads 9 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 2: doesn't matter because anybody can make an ad anytime they want. 10 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: Those are all interesting questions, but this one has got 11 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 2: a lot of tension over the last couple of days. 12 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 2: The visual is Karen Bass walking through streets full of 13 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: drug addicts intents or parks full of drug addicts intents, 14 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: and burning. Everything's on fire, everything here, all the time. Anyway, 15 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: This is how it sounds. 16 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 3: I'm Karen Bass, and I'm running on my accomplishments. 17 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 2: Los Angeles on fire, nowhere to be found. 18 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 3: We were so prepared for wildfires, I didn't even have 19 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: to be in the country when the town burned. I've 20 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 3: addressed the homeless problem. Now most of them won't stab 21 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 3: you as long as you don't make eye contact. Our 22 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 3: climate change policy is so strong. We've brought down energy 23 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 3: use in the Palisades by ninety nine percent. 24 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 2: The burnt out neighborhood. 25 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 3: Almost none of the needles in children's playgrounds have aids 26 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 3: on them. If you like the last four years, you're 27 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 3: going to love the next four. Vote Bass. 28 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 2: Yet another clever ad from Spencer Pratt, and we'll get 29 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: back into the La mayoral race coming up a little 30 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: bit later, but that's to watch. 31 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: We're joined by Josh Rogan, global opinions columnist with the 32 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: Washington Post, author of a terrific book, Chaos under Heven 33 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: Trump She in the Battle for the twenty first century. 34 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: Speaking of Trump She and battles Josha, Welcome, how are you. 35 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. 36 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 4: Hey, guys, great to be back with you. 37 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: So let's talk about Taiwan and the stakes involved, because 38 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk, well for decades and 39 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: certainly more recently about does the US defend Taiwan, etc. 40 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 2: What's Chinese China's timetable? 41 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: Let's start with what would it look like to the 42 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: world economy if China made a serious military move on Taiwan? 43 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 4: Right, Well, it's in the news, of course, because President 44 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 4: Trump went to China, met with Jijingpang and then said 45 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 4: I'm not so sure I'm going to sell Taiwan the 46 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 4: arms that we promised we were going to sell them. 47 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 4: We sent a shockwave through the region, especially through Taiwan, 48 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 4: because without those US arms, the chance of deterring, much 49 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 4: less repelling any sort of Chinese invasion for the Taiwanese 50 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 4: goes way way down. So that's not great, okay. But 51 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 4: the question that you ask is the right one. What 52 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 4: happens if they actually try it? And you know, the 53 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 4: main quite determinant is whether or not we help them. 54 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 4: And you know, would that American president in that moment 55 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 4: press that button and send US troops or US ships 56 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 4: or US bombs to help the time when you stop 57 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 4: the Chinese invasion? And when I asked President Trump about 58 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 4: that when reporting for my book, he was very clear. 59 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 4: He said, We're nine thousand miles away, China's two feet away. 60 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 4: If they attack, there isn't an effing thing we can 61 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 4: do about it. That's what he said. Okay. So he's 62 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 4: not very enthused about the idea of intervening on Taiwanean, 63 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 4: and he doesn't say that, but that's the idea, and 64 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: what does that mean. That means essentially, if the Chinese attack, 65 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 4: the Taiwanese would get crushed in a second. Without our help, 66 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 4: they would get crushed in a second. And after that 67 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 4: a number of scenarios can play out, all of them bad. 68 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 4: You know, in the best case scenario, China controls not 69 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 4: only that the Taiwan Straight or fifty percent of the 70 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 4: world shipping goes through sooner or later. 71 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: Did you say, yes, fifty percent of the world shipping 72 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: goes through that when one. 73 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 4: Way or another needs that depends on the Taiwan Straight 74 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: and that's a lot. And then then ninety percent of 75 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 4: the world's most advanced semiconductors are made in Taiwan, all 76 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 4: the Nvidia stuff, all of it. It's actually manufacturing in Taiwan, 77 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 4: most of it. Anyway, that's pretty bad if China controls that, 78 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 4: And then think about the rest of the region. You've 79 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 4: got Japan, think or South Korea. All of those countries 80 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 4: would immediately realize that they have no choice but to 81 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: arm themselves to the tieth because America is not coming, 82 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 4: and the entire region just becomes a powder care forever 83 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 4: that's kind of like the best case scenario. The worst 84 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 4: case scenario is there's an actual war over Taiwan, and 85 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 4: that would immediately involve the Japanese, the North Koreans, maybe 86 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 4: now we're talking nuclear weapons, and then it just gets. 87 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 2: Worse and worse. Well, the best best case scenario, of course, 88 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 2: as you know, is China's too scared to try it 89 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: because they're so certain that that we and the rest 90 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: of the world would fight on Taiwan's behalf. But not 91 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: exactly sending that message right now. 92 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 4: Well, that's right. The whole idea of the policy has 93 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 4: been for many decades is that we make it so 94 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 4: hard that they don't try it that every day's Hugien 95 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 4: thing wakes up. He looks across this training he says, 96 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 4: not today, it's going to be too difficult today. And 97 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 4: the truth of the matter is that that balance of 98 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 4: power between China and Taiwan and his friends is moving 99 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 4: in the direction of China's advantage every single day. China's 100 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 4: building the largest military build up in the history of 101 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 4: the world. Hundreds of nuclear weapons silos were those for 102 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 4: you know, a massive landing, invasion, cyber warfare, internet warfare, 103 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 4: cognitive warfare. They're messing with Taiwani's politics, they're messing with 104 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 4: their elections, they're messing with their media, they're messing with 105 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 4: their minds on a constant basis all day along. And 106 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 4: that's not good. Okay, We're and so in order for 107 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 4: the United States and his friends and allies to keep 108 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 4: that balance up so that Taiwan teams like too tough 109 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 4: to eat, you know, like too difficult to swallow, you know, 110 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 4: whatever you want to call it, we would have to 111 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 4: do a lot more, and we're not doing a lot more. 112 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 4: So that's what that's really the most worrying thing is 113 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 4: not what would happen on the day of the attack, 114 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 4: but like every single day that China gains an advantage actually, 115 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 4: in my pain, makes the situation along more dangerous. 116 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: Interesting. Talking to Joshua A. Rogan Global Opinions Columns for 117 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: The Washington Post, Josha I've said that one thing restraining 118 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: she is that China is so entirely dependent on exports. 119 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: A gigantic shock to the world economy would be enormously 120 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: damaging to them too. That's at least helped delay, you know, 121 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: what might be inevitable. 122 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 2: Agreed, disagree. Expand on that your thoughts. 123 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's exactly right. The best scenario for 124 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,119 Speaker 4: Jugen thing is that he takes Taiwan without firing a shot. 125 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 4: You know, look at what happened in Hong Kong. They 126 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 4: never attacked Hong Kong. They suffocated it. They just messed 127 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 4: with it, messed with the people there, you know, clamped 128 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 4: down as much as they could and eventually strangled the 129 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 4: democracy and freedom out of Hong Kong. And it worked 130 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 4: and they never had to fire a shot. That's the idea. 131 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 4: I think that's what he's going to try to do. First, 132 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 4: I don't That's why I don't think a Chinese invasion 133 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 4: of Taiwan is coming in twenty twenty seven. I think 134 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 4: maybe they could be able to do it, but Chi 135 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 4: Jin Pin's going to try best he can to mess 136 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 4: with Taiwan so much that maybe the time when he 137 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 4: get so you know, battered down, that they fold, or 138 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 4: maybe they elect someone who's pro China because he messes 139 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 4: with the other people so much. He's definitely going to 140 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 4: try that. But I think in twenty twenty eight, when 141 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 4: the Taiwanese make their next presidential election, if they choose 142 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 4: someone like they have now, someone who doesn't want the 143 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 4: Chinese to take over Taiwan because because what most time, 144 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 4: when he don't want the Chinese to take over Taiwan, 145 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 4: I think that's when Chi Jinking might realize that the 146 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 4: military and economic risks might be worth it for him. 147 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad you're somewhat optimistic, very eory. I'm glad 148 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: you're someone optimistic it is not going to happen in 149 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: the next year. But are are we not dealing in reality? 150 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 2: At some point? I realize that if China takes Taiwan, 151 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 2: we live in a completely different world than all of 152 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 2: us have lived in our whole lives. But yeah, as 153 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: China grows into an economic superpower, military superpower and they 154 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: got on island right off their coast, is it realistic 155 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: to think that the world's not going to keep them 156 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: from taking it? 157 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's a good question. I think that 158 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 4: twenty three million times. When these people are not going 159 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 4: to want to be ruled by the Chinese Communist Party, 160 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 4: and if we let them just get swallowed up by 161 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 4: the Chinese Communist Party, that's really bad for any other 162 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 4: country in the world that lives next to a psychotic 163 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 4: dictatorship that wants to take it over. I mean, look 164 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,599 Speaker 4: around the world, you know, the cause of freedom and 165 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 4: de oox not really doing that well at the moment. 166 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 4: You know, the autocrats are on the Mars now, the 167 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 4: Ukrainians are fighting back. That's great. You know, hopefully someday 168 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 4: the Iranian people will get another chance to throw off 169 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 4: their government. That's great. But right now, yeah, a lot 170 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 4: of people around the country like, hey, it looks pretty 171 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 4: bleek for the Taiwanese. But here's the thing. You know, 172 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 4: people do not actually want to live on their knees, 173 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 4: and they don't actually subjugate themselves to that kind of 174 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 4: rule willingly, and they tend to resist. Now sometimes they lose, 175 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 4: but never discount the fact that people don't want to 176 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 4: live on their knees. And really the only thing that 177 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 4: we can do is to support those people who don't 178 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 4: want to live on their knees. And no, it's not 179 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 4: determined yet, China could win. And that country, I don't 180 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 4: know if you've ever been there, it's beautiful, the people 181 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 4: are lovely, the food's amazing. It would be a damn 182 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 4: shame if it fell into Beijing's arms, because that would 183 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 4: be a tragedy for all those people and for all 184 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 4: of the other people around the world who look at 185 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 4: some sort of evil dictatorship on their border and be like, Oh, 186 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 4: I really don't want to get swallowed up by those guys. 187 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 188 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: My response to what Jack said, which is one hundred 189 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: percent true, would be that you've just got to make 190 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: it as expensive or difficult as possible for as long 191 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: as possible and hope things change for the better on 192 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: one front or another. Which brings us to China's enormous 193 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: demographic and economic challenges that are going on right now. 194 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: We won't roll all of them out for you, but 195 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: they have some serious economic problems going on. How is 196 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: that going to factor in josh any idea. 197 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's important to talk about because China's not ten 198 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 4: feet tall. They do have a lot of problems. But 199 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 4: you know, at the same time, we have to realize 200 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 4: that it's going to be the largest country with the 201 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 4: largest economy and maybe even the largest military in the 202 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 4: region for the rest of our lives. So they're going 203 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 4: to continue to have problems. Their problems don't affect them 204 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 4: the same way our problems affect us, because they don't 205 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 4: have things like elections, you know what I mean. If 206 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 4: they have some sort of like crisis in the banking 207 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 4: or real estate sector, they just fudge it all because 208 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 4: it's all a corrupt economy anyway. So yeah, they have problems, 209 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 4: and we should, my view, try to maximize our advantages 210 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 4: and cause more problems for them, because they're out to 211 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 4: harm us. You know. In the end, China's goal is 212 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 4: not just to take Taiwan, but it's to become the 213 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 4: most powerful country in the world, and that means our disadvantage. 214 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 4: So it's not just about Taiwan. But yeah, they have 215 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 4: real vulnerabilities. To my mind, we should, you know, exploit 216 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 4: those vulnerabilities and then use that to slow their rise 217 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 4: so that we can maintain our leadership in the world 218 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 4: because that's better for us and better for the world. 219 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 4: But you know, it's just not going that well at 220 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 4: the moment. For being honest. 221 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 2: So President Trump met with President She last week. President 222 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: She's meeting with Vladimir Putin today. And I know you're 223 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: aware of this quote. The caught on a hot mic 224 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 2: quote from three years ago when President She was talking 225 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 2: to Vladimir Putin and said, and I think this is 226 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 2: one of the most important quotes of my lifetime. President. 227 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 2: She said, there are changes happening the likes of which 228 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: we haven't seen for one hundred years. Let's drive those 229 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 2: changes together. Putin said, I agree. What did that mean? 230 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: And do they still believe that? And what do you 231 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: think they're going to be talking about today? 232 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you. It's one of the most 233 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 4: important things that I've heard said in a very long time. 234 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 4: And what he's saying is something that I think is proved, 235 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 4: which is that you know, the international world order or 236 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 4: whatever you want to call it, that maintained relative peace 237 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 4: and security and in my opinion ushered in the greatest 238 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 4: period of prosperity for America and any country in the 239 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 4: world in history since World War Two is breaking down. 240 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 4: That's pretty obvious. Whatever it is, the multilateral institutions, people were, 241 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 4: you know, disadvantaged by the iniquities of globalization. All of 242 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 4: the grievances, some of which contributed to the rise of 243 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 4: Trump and some of which you know are just sort 244 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 4: of the baked into the corruption of the system. All 245 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 4: those grievances are real. But the question is, Okay, what 246 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 4: do we do now? And if we're not going to 247 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 4: have that whole system, which you know has some good 248 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 4: parts and some mistakes were made, for sure. And if 249 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 4: we're going to replace that, what are we going to 250 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 4: replace it with? The To my mind, whatever we replace 251 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 4: it with probably shouldn't be decided by Jusualping and Vladimir Putin. 252 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: That's my position. 253 00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 4: Cy call me old fashioned, you know, but are like 254 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 4: the New World System is, we're going to pick what 255 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 4: it is. I'm against that. I think the Americans should 256 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 4: pick what it is, and our allies maybe Japan and 257 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 4: the Europeans too, and you know, whoever else is on 258 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 4: board with us. But if they pick it, I don't 259 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 4: think it's would be good for us. 260 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 2: No, Oh my god, Amen to that, brother. 261 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: Josh Rogan, Global Opinions calumnists for The Washington Post and 262 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: again author of Chaos under Heaven Trumpshee in the Battle 263 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: for the twenty first Century.

You might 340 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 2: have been, you know, a little closer into the that's 341 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: even an f you b right going with the full 342 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 2: s my Yeah, that probably a lot. 343 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: But let's not pretend this is the biggest problem afflicting America. 344 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: Give him a little fun and ban her from the ballpark. 345 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 2: Though, because a problem inflicting America is whether or not 346 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 2: you're going to get the obolavirus. No, it's not, it's not. Sorry, 347 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 2: I forgot about that. We got a lot of stuff 348 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 2: on the way. If you miss it, get the podcast 349 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty on demand. Promise it'll be good. Stay 350 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 2: tuned Armstrong and Getty. 351 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 5: The central figure in the OJ Simpson case has died. 352 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 5: Former Los Angeles police detective Mark Furman has died. TMZ 353 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 5: now reporting Ferman died from throat cancer. The prosecution's case 354 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 5: unraveling in part over Firman's use of a racial slur. 355 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 2: Furman was seventy four years old. Did he die of 356 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 2: throat cancer? Where was OJ Simpson at the time. Duh. 357 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 2: Mark Furman is a great interview I will tell you 358 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 2: that we had him on a couple of times, I think. 359 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 2: But oh yeah, was the conclusion from you or whoever 360 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 2: most people that he framed the guy that did it 361 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: is what happened there? Yeah, he was in the middle 362 00:18:59,280 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: of it. 363 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard the bit of wisdom, the lapd frame 364 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: the guy who did it. 365 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 2: That was the problem with the OJ trial. They just 366 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 2: over egged the pudding. Yeah, any perhaps, anyway he did 367 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 2: it so quick for you, is having a nice butt 368 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: as a man the sign that you were healthy and 369 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 2: going to live a long time? New studies say, maybe, yes, 370 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 2: more on that coming up. Wow, that's intriguing. 371 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: I'll have to Michael, I'll have to have you take 372 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: a long look and give me an honest appraisal. 373 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: One to ten, all right, or maybe just pass fay 374 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 2: a lot of it. 375 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 4: All right. 376 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: So I just heard something that makes me hate the 377 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: modern world even more than I realized I did. And 378 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: we have several stories on that well kind of sort 379 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: of a topic, but found out it's a friend of 380 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: a friend got a six year old son, six years 381 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,959 Speaker 1: old plays baseball. That's way too young to play baseball. 382 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: It's too hard a game. 383 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 2: Play catch with your kid until they're at least eight 384 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 2: or probably nine, have them h over and over again. 385 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 2: Reps not standing on a field in a cute little uniform, 386 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: board to tears so we can pose for pictures that 387 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: the women like. And you're saying this as a baseball 388 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 2: player and coach, not. 389 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: Just yes and the son of a professional and college 390 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: baseball player, and blah blah blah. 391 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, the game is too hard. You're wasting the 392 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 2: kids time. 393 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm in the minority, which does not bother me 394 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: in the least. So this kid's six years old. He's 395 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: a good little ballplayer. They have an all star team 396 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: right there. What does what the f does that even 397 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: mean at age six? 398 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 2: Oh my god? 399 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: And they agreed, Yeah, okay, if you want to be 400 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: on this whatever the f thing this is? 401 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, two hour practice is four days a week. 402 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 2: Oh my god? Is a six year old? Oh? I 403 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 2: give up. That's crazy. I give up. 404 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: That's what you want him to have. Tommy John Surgery 405 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: is an eleven year old. Lord, were you people thinking? 406 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 2: Or just time? I mean, you only get so many 407 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 2: summers as a kid. Oh my god, Oh that's horrible. 408 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: I know, it's horror, it's child abuse. Moving along, how 409 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: did climate science get. 410 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 2: So screwed up? I maybe read the same article as 411 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 2: you last night, and I was laying there in bed 412 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 2: and I thought, how has it not become just a 413 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 2: common thing to refer to it as the climate hoax? Yeah, 414 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 2: a climate hoax? So the great great climate fraud that 415 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 2: we all lived through. Isn't there enough out now to 416 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 2: call it that? Oh? Yeah, oh yeah, completely al gor 417 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 2: What did al go? 418 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: Oh it's Pete crow Armstrong like anyway, Yeah, it's uh, 419 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: this analysis were written by a fellow with the musical 420 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: name of Quiko Toro, but uh, it's. 421 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 2: Super superior, gentlemen, Quako Toro world music and all with 422 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: two drummers and whatever. 423 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, So what he's writing about, Well, he mentions 424 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: that UN scientists finally announced last month what climate researchers 425 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: have known for years, That the most extreme climate change 426 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: pathway that they've been threatening us with. The whole Gretaitunberg 427 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: horror cult thing is utterly implausible and it really shouldn't 428 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: be part of the debate at all. 429 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 2: How dad, you it was based. 430 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: On something known as RCP eight point five to folks 431 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: who are really into this, the representative Concentration Pathway eight 432 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: point five, which was a particular study by like serious 433 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: climate scientists. For this reason, he explains that if you 434 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: are designing a highway bridge and you need to figure 435 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: out where your structure's weak points are what it would 436 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: take to cause it to break, you don't have, like 437 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: you know, you don't do computer studies on what would 438 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: happen if I don't know, there were a few more 439 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: trucks than usual because there's too much statistical noise, you 440 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't find the weak points that you're looking for. What 441 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: you'd do is whip up a computer simulation ask what 442 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: would happen if two hundred fully fully loaded, two hundred 443 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: and fifty ready rather fully loaded, and one Abram's battle 444 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: tanks drove onto the bridge at the same time, I 445 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: mean unbelievable stresses that your bridge would never face. But 446 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: that'll show you where the weaker points are and what 447 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 1: you might bolster up to deal with normal stuff. So 448 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: you like super catastrophize a computer model to get it 449 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: to show you what might happen if well climate like 450 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: legit climate scientists were doing this same thing in I 451 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: think it was fifteen years ago or so. You've stolen 452 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: your childhood, Joe. 453 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 2: You have stolen my dreams, my childhood with your empty words. 454 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 2: That's what I do. If you knew me, you'd know 455 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: that's kind of my act. Dreams wrong, dream stealing in 456 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 2: childhood crushing. That's what I'm known for, baby anyway. So 457 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 2: what these climate scientists did was all right, all right, 458 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 2: all right, what would happen if like the most extreme 459 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 2: crazy scenario word unfold and the eight point five has 460 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 2: to do with eight point five watts per square meter 461 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 2: of added solar energy, So it was like an extreme scenario, 462 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 2: what would that cause? What would the stress points be? 463 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah in the same way that the bridge 464 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 2: engineer does this. Well, the problem is all of the 465 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 2: activists and greed heads took hold of this study and 466 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 2: used it as a premise for not the two hundred 467 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 2: and fifty fully loaded Abrams tank scenario, extreme crazy scenario. 468 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 2: They took it as a prediction and ran with it 469 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 2: like crazy, and it dominated that what's its eight point 470 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 2: five thing dominated all the discussion for years and years 471 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 2: and years, and the original scientists are like, wait, no, 472 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: this isn't going to happen. It couldn't happen. We're just 473 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 2: trying to do math over here, but nobody wanted to 474 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: hear it. How many does anybody have a total on 475 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 2: how many trillions? It's got to be trillions could be 476 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 2: sure of dollars that were spent by the world to 477 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 2: try to combat this fanciful prediction. So right, and I 478 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 2: told including countries like Britain completely destroying their economy which 479 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 2: they may recover from. 480 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just a suicide based on bad data. And 481 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: you know I was talking about name checking a few 482 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: people and activists who embrace this stuff. That eight point 483 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: five thingy has been the default setting for thirty thousand 484 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: climate science papers since twenty eighteen alone. It was from 485 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: this kind of research, mister Torro writes that we get 486 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: lured papers like Future of the Human Climate. Knee, we're respectable. 487 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: Dutch climate scientists claimed that one in three human beings 488 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: live in regions that will be unlivable in the next 489 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: fifty years. It was this kind of research that gave 490 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: rise to countless breathless headlines about how outdoor labor was 491 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: about to become impossible across much of the tropical world, 492 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: alarmist documentaries claiming the ocean was about to end up 493 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 1: without any fish, or we'll all drown in it, or 494 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: whatever may. He named checks a bunch more best sellers 495 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: and documentaries and stuff like that. 496 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 2: Jes, that's crazy twenty eighteen because al Gore's Inconvenient Truth. 497 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 2: The movie came out in two thousand and six. Yeah, 498 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 2: twenty years. 499 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: Ago, right, right, And so these people said, wow, climate change, 500 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: let's look at the most extreme scenario possible. Well, I 501 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: think we've explained it to you. Here's another story from 502 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: our modern era. Can we tell you about it? Or 503 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: are you going into in cogny? Was that such a 504 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: clever transition?

And just 540 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 2: facelifts and ear tucks and just I want to be sexier? 541 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 2: Plastic surgery South Korea is so weird, even though they 542 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: aren't dating, marrying or having kids right right, it's all Instagram, 543 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 2: you know, motivated, You got to look sharp on, you 544 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 2: gotta look gorgeous online. I saw an ad for Instagram 545 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 2: the other day. 546 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: I was trying to get people I don't know, sign 547 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: up or beyond more and stuff like that, and it 548 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: was clear every single bit of it was I am 549 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: an attractive to okay, attractive woman or a girl, and 550 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: I want everybody to see how attractive I am. That 551 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: like is the entire engine behind it. And dip ass 552 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: guys who want to get a job, find a woman, 553 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: get off Instagram idiots. 554 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 2: All right, So here's the story I wanted to bring you. 555 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: This is a person by the name of John's Showshay 556 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: show shit, but something like that on the air. So 557 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: he was on a neighborhood board in New York City 558 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: and he came across this, this project to replace a 559 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: bunch of water fountains in Riverside Park. 560 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 2: If you know New York, you know what. If you don't, 561 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 2: you don't. 562 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: And and but it was going to cost three hundred 563 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: and seventy five thousand dollars to replace one broken and 564 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: one outdated water fountain. 565 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 2: And he's like, well, wait. 566 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: A minute, how is it costing the price of a 567 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: four bedroom house in suburban Kansas City to replace a 568 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: couple of water fountains? And he says, I spent enough 569 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: time in and around the public sector to understand how 570 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: he got there. He worked blah blah blah. So he 571 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: dug into it, and each rule governing the Riverside Park 572 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: drinking fountain project had its own logic. The backflow prevention 573 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: systems protect the public water supply and are mandated by 574 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: the Department of Environmental Protection. The dual bowl of fountains 575 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: one bowl up high, one lower, satisfy EIGHTA requirements under 576 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: current park directives. Water lines as old as the existing 577 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: ninety year old ones have to be replaced when any 578 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: new work is done. Because parks chose to rebuild a 579 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: fountain its existing location and there are no records showing 580 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: where the old water line ran, a new trench has 581 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: to be cut. A tree root survey is required because 582 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: digging that trench risks damaging root systems that took decades 583 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: to grow. The competitive bidding and procurement procedures were put 584 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: in place to prevent corruption. The park's project manager presenting 585 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: the slides was professional and thorough. Each box was checked 586 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: and the outcome was a third of a million dollars 587 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: for two drinking fountains. Wow, but it's actually worse than that. 588 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: The community, through the cities participatory budgeting process, had allocated 589 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: the three hundred and seventy five grand for five modern 590 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: hydration stations with bottle filling capability spread throughout the park. Now, 591 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: that's still a lot of money, but you got five 592 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: complete water fountain bottle filler handicap what's eight three hundred 593 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: and seventy five here in New York. But the plan 594 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: that emerged from the Parks Department had been whittled down 595 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: to replacing two existing fountains with code compliant versions of 596 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: what had been there for decades, No new locations, no 597 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: bottle fillers. Five hydration stations became two ordinary fountains, and 598 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: the replacement fountains won't even be installed until twenty twenty seven. 599 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. 600 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: And he makes the point that what went wrong with 601 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: this is what went wrong with virtually everything else. 602 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 2: This is why we can't build anything. Yeah, and an 603 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: advantage China actually has over us. Yeah, yeah, so true, 604 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 2: not getting bogged down in crap like that to accomplish 605 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 2: anything that everybody wants. And he says the villain isn't 606 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 2: a person, a party, or conspiracy. It's a system built 607 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 2: over decades by people making a series of individually rational 608 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 2: decisions that add up to something no one designed and 609 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 2: no one would build on purpose. I'm going to call 610 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 2: that system the machine. And he goes on for paragraphs 611 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 2: about it understudied and underappreciated bureaucracy. The importance of having 612 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 2: a good butt as a guy could be the healthiest 613 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 2: thing you do is having a good butt, among other things. 614 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 2: On the way, stay here, we'll get this. 615 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 3: The makers that spam just announced that they are now 616 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 3: selling HATA. 617 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. Even the mcgribbs like, I wouldn't eat that. Uh? 618 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 2: Makers are who are making out spam? Okay? Interesting? Was 619 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 2: this a dumb joke? Books already a mystery? 620 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 4: Me? 621 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 2: Do you suffer from gluteal amnesia? You may stay tuned. 622 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 2: This New York Times had line caught my attention over 623 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 2: the weekend. Is the secret to Men's longevity A great butt. 624 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 2: Famous and powerful men have discovered that the key to 625 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 2: a long, healthy life may be rock solid glutes. I 626 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 2: like this first paragraph because it left me mystified. Daniel 627 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 2: Rice is a personal trainer in Los Angeles, the job 628 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 2: that gives him a front row seat to the physique 629 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 2: coveted by today's American man. Rice recalls the washboard abs 630 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 2: craze of the nineties, the athletic build of the early 631 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 2: two thousand, and the twenty tens quest for tiny waists 632 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 2: and huge biceps. I was completely unaware of these trends, 633 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 2: and I'm not sure how they're not much different from 634 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 2: each other or anything. 635 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: Uh, okay, if you say so, you missed the obsession 636 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: with six pack apps. 637 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 2: What did that go away? Do you have sense that 638 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 2: it went away and changed into tiny waists and huge 639 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 2: bite steps? I don't. I think it's just all made 640 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 2: up anyway. Now all guys want thick thighs in bigger butts. 641 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 2: It's become a gluten dominant culture. I will say this 642 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 2: as a guy who goes to the gym nearly every 643 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 2: day in the best shape of my life. Physically, mentally 644 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 2: not so much, but physically it's amazing to me. And 645 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 2: I've been wondering this for quite a while. All the 646 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 2: guys that are doing the squats and stuff like that, 647 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 2: I think, really it's interesting that you're also focused on 648 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 2: that part of your body. 649 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: I remember a few years ago the joke was quit 650 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: skipping leg days, the giant upper bodies and the tiny 651 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: waists mentioned blah blah blah. 652 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 2: Maybe that is. But this article that came out over 653 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 2: the weekend is how important the biggest muscle you've got 654 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 2: in your body, which is your glutiast maxim is to 655 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 2: health all the way around and balance and not making 656 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 2: other muscles overwork to compensate for your weak glutes and 657 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 2: everything like that. So many even knee back and all 658 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 2: kinds of different problems come from you're letting your butt 659 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 2: muscle amnesia. Have the butt muscles get weaker and then 660 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 2: all these other muscles have to overcompensate. And it has 661 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 2: a lot to do with balance, which is we all 662 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 2: know when you get actually like old old, balance becomes 663 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:29,760 Speaker 2: a big problem. 664 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 1: I have suffered from this very thing. I can attest 665 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: to the truth of this. 666 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 2: Strong glutes help manage and even reduce lower back pain 667 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 2: and all kinds of other different things. I saw this 668 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 2: quote from I tell my clients, as long as you 669 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 2: can climb flights of stairs, you can have sex. Well, 670 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 2: that's an interesting thing to know, especially if she's upstairs. 671 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 2: So if I can't get up there again, I'm coming. 672 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 2: Hang on, I'm almost there. Five more steps. I just 673 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 2: gotta rest. I gotta rest for a minute.
