1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: and now He Armstrong and Jetty Warner Brothers World.

4
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: Abu Dabi is officially developing Harry Potter themed land in

5
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: the United Arab Emirates, So hopefully they know the spell

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: for missalum deflect us.

7
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a good joke. I just thought of this

8
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 3: for some reason. If I was an executive at Taco Bell,

9
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: I would be running a promotion right now with commercials

10
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: where it says we've appointed a new Supreme burrito. Wow,

11
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: I think that we get lots of attention. Yeah, oh yes,

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: it would. We've appointed a new Supreme Chiloopah.

13
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we get attention from people with bomb vests strapped

14
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: to them. Good person.

15
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 4: Now, that's almost not even a joke.

16
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: So we will absolutely get back to covering the conflict

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: in the Middle East and bringing you various angles and

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: updates and that sort of thing. But we thought we'd

19
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: a stray from that momentarily. What what you gotta look

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: on your face? I thought you were gonna say soon,

21
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: all right, A handful of stories on different types. I

22
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: will tease this.

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 3: I embarrassed myself about as bad as I ever have

24
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 3: in my entire life.

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: Yesterday, which is quite a statement for me.

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 4: High bar.

27
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so among all of us, sure, so a handful

28
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: of stories on different topics that I found interesting. Human

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: beings are rotten. That's one thing that conservatives understand, and

30
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: so we have to have a system of incentives and

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: disincentives so that people don't do rotten stuff. Utopian progressives

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: believe that if you just educate people and badger them

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: long enough, they'll behave like angels, and we can, for instance,

34
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: have communism or socialism and it'll work. It'll never work,

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: it'll never affing anyway. Here's an example, the Medicaid autism fraud.

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 4: It is a huge.

37
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: Well of fraud now autism and speaking if you don't know,

38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: this is the father of an autistic child. It is

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: so difficult, given our current systems to monitor what's legit

40
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: and what's not. It's become the go to money spigot

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: for scammers. We're familiar with the mini soda case. It's

42
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: worth digging into it a little bit. You've got this

43
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: twenty seven year old and you know I despise this guy,

44
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: but I admire his entrepreneurial spirit.

45
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 4: A bid Najib Hassan Yousef. He set up a.

46
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: Fly by night autism center claiming to provide one on

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: one therapy for autistic children, allegedly worked with corrupt doctors

48
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: to have children diagnosed with autism, paid kickbacks to.

49
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: The parents to enroll them in his center.

50
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: He employed teenage relatives with no education or training, and

51
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: raked in more than six million dollars in Medicaid money,

52
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: some of which wired to Kenya before anybody caught on. Well,

53
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bad here.

54
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: I definitely hate the fake autism clinics where they're not

55
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: actually going to help a kid. But how about the

56
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: fake diagnosis man that doesn't do any kid any good?

57
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: No, And it makes it harder to figure out the

58
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: statistics these days. Is it actually on the increases in

59
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: environmental factors? Is it more awareness more diagnosis? I mean,

60
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: oh that's brutal. So you got a kid being told

61
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: they're autistic. I mean maybe the parents don't know that

62
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: this is a fake diagnosis. Maybe you do.

63
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: I don't know. Oh no, no, in this scam, they.

64
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: Okay, And I hate you and your kids should be

65
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: taken away from you. But no, these kids weren't getting

66
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: any counseling. They just play in a playground or whatever,

67
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: or do what kids are going to do. But the stupid,

68
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: stupid taxpayer paid for it. Let's see, nearly all providers.

69
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: Oh listen to this, would you?

70
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: Minnesota is far from alone, judging by audits by the

71
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: US Health and Human Services Departments Spectro General Medicaid blah

72
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: blah blah. An ig audit released last week estimated that

73
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: Colorado I'm looking at you, ninety nine percent of Colorado's

74
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Medicaid payments in twenty twenty two and twenty three for

75
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: autism treatment were improper or likely improper, totaling two hundred

76
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: and eighty five point two million dollars, virtually all of it. Wow,

77
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: you got autism centers billing Medicaid more than fifty dollars

78
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: an hour for autism treatment when children were playing games, napping,

79
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: or eating.

80
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 4: Oh my god, paid to nap. That is my dream career.

81
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: Part of the problem is I know enough about the

82
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: tests for autism that you can get different opinions from

83
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: different people, even if they're completely legit, straight up trying

84
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: to do their best, right, it's not.

85
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: It's not a blood test.

86
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: It's a complicated evaluation and different people interpret the results

87
00:04:59,080 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: in different ways.

88
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: That makes it tough. Absolutely true. Touch on this, at

89
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: least briefly. The headline is I'm a college student gen

90
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: Z sports betting is wrecking my friends' lives. And he

91
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: talks about he's football player at a North Greenville university,

92
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: which I believe is in South Carolina anyway. He says, right,

93
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: I had a girl friend for Greenville explained to me

94
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: how she had to say Greenville, Greenville, Greenville. If you

95
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: say Greenville, they're like, dangnky, we'll run you right out

96
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: of hounds.

97
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: That sounds right again.

98
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 1: Actually, you don't hear that much in Greenville these days anyway.

99
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: So he's talking about all of his friends and teammates

100
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: who've quickly become obsessed with sports gambling. I've had friends

101
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: have lost hundreds, lied to their families, pulled away from

102
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: the team, all while chasing the rush of winning a

103
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: bet that may never arrive. Sports gambling was a major

104
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: problem for many of my high school classmates.

105
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 4: But it's got even worse in college.

106
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: He sees it all over the place and one of

107
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: the most interesting things in this article. And if you

108
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: have a college student, warn them about this. Warn the

109
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: warm and warn they warn them is especially males with

110
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: a strong competitive drive. He says, Ah, why is betting

111
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: so popular among guys my age? It's partly how we

112
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: think our brains struggle to deal with the consequences of

113
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: a two hundred and four hundred dollars loss. But he

114
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: quotes this expert on problem gambling warns that younger brains

115
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: are not developed enough to handle the addictive nature of gambling.

116
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: This I did not know.

117
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: Quote near wins, your team just lost by a point,

118
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: or you just missed the over under or whatever. Exploit

119
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: the vulnerability by activating our brain's reward systems almost as

120
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: strongly as winning makes, making losses feel like progress, and

121
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: encouraging us to keep betting.

122
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,119
Speaker 3: I'm so glad I'm not susceptible of this. For whatever reason,

123
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: my brain is not susceptible to the gambling thing.

124
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love gambling, honestly, but whenever I do it,

125
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: I think this is a bad idea. And I said

126
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: doing it for whatever reason, I don't know, probably genetics.

127
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 4: I like this one. This is a completely different topic.

128
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: I'd noticed this the headline from the journal We got

129
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: hooked on fast free shipping. Now retailers are taking it

130
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: away ooh, as FedEx and ups charged more, companies are

131
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: trying options like no rush delivery and fees to make

132
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: a slow down.

133
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: This sprising.

134
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: Part is it's working. You know. That's a good idea.

135
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 3: There's a lot of stuff I don't need this afternoon

136
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: or overnight, so go ahead and charge me less and

137
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: ship it ground for a week.

138
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: I can wait that long. Yeah. I've ordered more coffee

139
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: pods because I've noticed I was getting loan.

140
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 4: No, I don't need them today, your time.

141
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: I am kind of addicted to the free tonight though

142
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: with Amazon, because I'm a prime member. Like I need

143
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: a battery for my motorcycle tomorrow.

144
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: That's too long. There's got to be an everyone. Here's

145
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: one I can get tonight. Wow, that's crazy. But if

146
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: you're willing to pay for it's fine. I've got to confess,

147
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: I am so fascinated by watching free markets work. I

148
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: get excited about it. I'm such a geek for this stuff,

149
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: and it's oh my god, it's such an illustration. Why

150
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: central planning is a horrific idea. You would have never

151
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: gotten to this with the postal service if we had

152
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: no competition. No, no, And can you imagine if Amazon

153
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: had to have bureaucrats approve the prime model where they

154
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: lost money for a very very long time. Jeff Bezos

155
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: was a joke in a lot of business communities for

156
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: a long time, but then he saw the way it

157
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: was going, and he knew if he stuck with it

158
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: long enough, he'd become an enormous profit making enterprise, retail

159
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: less than cloud computing.

160
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 4: I get that, don't bother writing the emails.

161
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: But now that shipping costs have risen substantially, that's at

162
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: the heart of the story. Now. Can you imagine if

163
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: you had to get Congress or the Department of Shipping

164
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: or whatever to approve all the different rate cuts. It

165
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: would take forever and there would be lobbying and big

166
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: checks being written in the system reverted. No, this is

167
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: the private economy working brilliantly. So you can find both

168
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: of your stories.

169
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 3: Remember from a couple of weeks ago, and I was

170
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: talking about the guy who started FedEx.

171
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: It was going under, it wasn't working. He went to

172
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: Vegas and wagered and one to keep it alive long

173
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: enough to take off. Yeah, yeah, that is funny and ironic.

174
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: So here's what's going on essentially. Uh and this is

175
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: a good lead esther Fung. Remember that package ordered last

176
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: week should be arriving any day now. After years of

177
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 1: priming us to expect speedy deliveries, the ever growing e

178
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: commerce economy is weaning us off of them, and no

179
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: one seems to mind. The great pioneer of san day

180
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: delivery and next day Amazon, whose deliveries are so quick

181
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: that the rest of the industry hustled to match them,

182
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: now offers some customers a seven percent discount if they

183
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: select a later arrival day. It's a great idea. Oh yeah,

184
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. Gap provides as many as five options,

185
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: including what it labels no rush shipping that its website

186
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: says can take up to nine business days.

187
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 4: Typically. The cheapest, obviously, are free depending on what you're buying.

188
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,599
Speaker 1: It's a pretty trendy at the GAP. It might be

189
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: out of style by the time he gets there. Birdie

190
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: Ball Golf, for retailer that sells putting mats and other

191
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: golf accessories, offers economy shipping with delivery dates that as

192
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: long as two weeks, You'll still suck as a golfer

193
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: in two weeks, trust me. And they give a bunch

194
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: more examples.

195
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, it came.

196
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: And it's still there, but it's going to cost you

197
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: a little more, and it's the free market to work.

198
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 4: I think it's brilliant.

199
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: Order my jeans of the gap they get here in

200
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 3: ten days. Nobody's wearing these anymore. That is really the

201
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: thrift story. That is really quite amazing. What a great idea.

202
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, well, let's see.

203
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: And they go into some of the reasons the shipping

204
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: costs have increased. You know, it's the same reasons as

205
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: everything else these days, but prices have climbed dramatically in

206
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: recent years. Since twenty twenty, the two leading carriers have

207
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: raised their base rates by five to seven percent annually.

208
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: In addition, they've increased their ancillary fees, including fuel, search charges,

209
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: address correction fees, and added charge for delivering the residences.

210
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: They've also imposed stricter rules on package sizes so that

211
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: dimensions get rounded up. The reason being, for the longest time,

212
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: the shipping industry depended on big shipments, either big items

213
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: that were fairly expensive or many many items shipped to

214
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 1: like the same place or similar place. The idea of

215
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: Joe gets one little package and Jack gets one little package,

216
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: and Katie gets two, and Michael gets one, and we'd

217
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: be living in different places. That's too costly. So prices

218
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: are going up anyway. Free market at work, God bless liberty.

219
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: I got a question economic as well as all other kinds.

220
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: I got a question before we take a break, and

221
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: then I'll tell my horribly embarrassing story from yesterday. An

222
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: I just saw this on TV. Has anybody on the

223
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: show ever made the heart symbol with.

224
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 3: Their hands where you do the thing where you put

225
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 3: your knuckles together and you put the thumbs and you

226
00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 3: make the heart.

227
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: Has anybody ever done that?

228
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 5: No?

229
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: Ironically, in a mocking sense, I have Katie and I

230
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: both ironically and have you ever done it? So nobody?

231
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 3: Has anybody done it? Non ironically? I feel like that's

232
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: a certain sort of person. You're either the sort of

233
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: person that would ever do that, or you're not. Yeah,

234
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 3: and I see it on TV a lot from people

235
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: who apparently are the sort of person that would do that,

236
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: and they're doing it sincerely for.

237
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: What it's Worthamson does it to me all the time.

238
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: That's sway.

239
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: You guys are cute, hilarious, Michael, Oh boy, that might

240
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 3: a good way to divide people.

241
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: Are you the sort of person that does the heart

242
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: thing with your hands? Okay, then I'm not interested. Yeah,

243
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: I got arthritis in my thumbs, so it looks more

244
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: like the head of the Grinch from the Grinch who

245
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: stole Christmas. Yeah, if you did that to me, I

246
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: wouldn't have any idea what you're trying to communicate. What

247
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: is that your kidney?

248
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 4: Is that your slean? That's hard, it's a heart.

249
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: I almost ruptured my spleen yesterday among all the things

250
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 3: we've got on the way.

251
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 6: Stay here, we bombed around and it's going on.

252
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: Now.

253
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 6: Have you expected me to say I hate it?

254
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't.

255
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: Sorry.

256
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 6: When he puts boots on the ground, Yeah, that I'll

257
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 6: hate it.

258
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: Now.

259
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 6: I know too many happy or Anian Americans.

260
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: Sorry, And.

261
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 6: You cannot name one horrible thing that has happened in

262
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 6: the Middle East in the last fifty years and not

263
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 6: connected to this fascist theocracy. But you know, when it

264
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 6: comes to the war, but comes to anything in this country,

265
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 6: everybody assesses everything by way of did my team do it,

266
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 6: then I love it. If their team did, I hate it.

267
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 6: I mean Kamala Harris made a statement, she said, this

268
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 6: is a war the American people don't want, and who

269
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 6: knows more about what the American people don't want?

270
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: That's pretty good joke.

271
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw some of the Democratic senators on various

272
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: shows yesterday.

273
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: This is a disaster from the beginning. Is it all right?

274
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 4: Clearly?

275
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 5: No.

276
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 3: We'll have a little more of the latest coverage coming

277
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: up in a bit. We're now a full week and

278
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 3: a couple of days into the war. So yesterday I

279
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: embarrassed myself horribly, as I often do. It was absolutely

280
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,599
Speaker 3: gorgeous weather where I live. Could not have been a

281
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: nicer day. So my son is at the skateboard park

282
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: on his little scooter, the little thing with the wheels

283
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: that you put your foot on and push yourself around.

284
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: He loves doing that, coming up, going down in the

285
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: bowl and coming out and doing flips and not flips,

286
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 3: spins and that sort of thing.

287
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: He's really good at it.

288
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 3: I go over there and I meet him and he

289
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 3: wants me to take his scooter because he's going to

290
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: go off with his friends. I say, sure, I'll see

291
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: you later at that. So I'm gonna take his scooter

292
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: and write it back to the truck, which I ride

293
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 3: his scooter fairly regularly around. But there are lots of

294
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: deep cracks in the bike path. It needs to be

295
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: like repaved or whatever.

296
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: Spending all the money on bums and junkies.

297
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 3: And I wracked, and there was a the park was

298
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: absolutely packed because of the nice day and Little League

299
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 3: games and everything like going on.

300
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: I so I get my front wheel into a crack.

301
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: I go over the handlebars kind of to a flip

302
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: and land on the pavement really hard and make a

303
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: moaning noise.

304
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: Oh no, bloodied my knee really good, same knee from

305
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: my motorcycle wreck. So that knee is just really unappealing.

306
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: I need to hide that knee from everyone. It really

307
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: looks disgusting.

308
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: But I wreck really really hard and in front of

309
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,239
Speaker 1: and I told my kids, and they said, are you exaggerating?

310
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: I said no, because there was a literally going on,

311
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: all these parents and everything like that. Where the bike

312
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: path was it It easily could be hundreds of people

313
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: saw me, certainly one hundred right in front of all

314
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: of them, And all of these younger people ran over

315
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: to me, like, look at the elderly person who just

316
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: had a fall.

317
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 4: Right, just took a sweet child scooter.

318
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god, everybody was so conto. Well, first of all,

319
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: I flip over and land. The whole crowd goes oh,

320
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: like it was just like it was like I was

321
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: performing it in a and I had, you know, seen

322
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: an elderly man have a fall.

323
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 3: It was like I was at a circus and I'd

324
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: fallen off the tightrope or something like that. Everybody goes oh.

325
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 3: And I hit the ground really hard and I get

326
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: up really really fast, as you do when you do

327
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: this sort of thing, to make it very clear that

328
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 3: you're fine.

329
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I hope that nobody saw. But anyway,

330
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: all these guys are to be okay, you're you okay,

331
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: want me to help you? And I'm fine. I'm fine.

332
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 3: I'm the most embarrassed I've ever been, but I'm fine.

333
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: My knee is throbbing. I can tell I've really hurt

334
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: my knee. And then I get home, I pull down

335
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: my jeans and I'm bleeding all over the inside of

336
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: my jeans. But yes, that was that was among the

337
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: more embarrassing things I've ever done. All these like thirty

338
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: five year old dads running over to me like I was,

339
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: you know, an eighty year old falling on the ice

340
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: was just so fine.

341
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: Off to watch it on YouTube and you're a you're

342
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: all cranky, No, I'm fine, Get away from me.

343
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: I wonder if anybody had their phone out to catch

344
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 3: their little girl in the in the game and accident

345
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: it got me, boy, if I like to see it myself,

346
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: it's probably quite spectacle.

347
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: The way the crowd grown, it must have been quite spectacle.

348
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: You say, I haven't gone off the edge of the

349
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon. Then having them fighting the mullus or something

350
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: and get crashing one hundred people, oh.

351
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 2: And getty.

352
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 7: So it was a big operation by itself to deceive

353
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 7: the Iranians and to h to make them feel everything

354
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 7: is fine like every day.

355
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 5: Israeli Brigadier General Fideffron telling me thousands of Israelis involved

356
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 5: in the attack went home the night before the planned

357
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 5: assault as part of a deception plan, leaving their cars

358
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 5: at home and secretly returning to work in the dead

359
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 5: of night.

360
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 7: You had a satellite last Friturday and you watch Israeli

361
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 7: bases and head quarters.

362
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: You wouldn't notice anything.

363
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 7: The parking clots were empty, everything was quiet, the phone

364
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 7: calls where as they were supposed to be.

365
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 4: And then it happened on Saturday morning.

366
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: How about that?

367
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: So similar to the whole pizza meter at the Pentagon

368
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: where somebody keeps track of how many pizzas are being

369
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 3: ordered from surrounding pizza places there in DC, they know

370
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: that something's up at the Pentagon. Iran probably certainly had

371
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: eyes on Israeli military bases, the planning centers. They all

372
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 3: went home then went back like through Uber or something

373
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: like that, left their cars at home.

374
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. That the level of planning.

375
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 4: That's amazing, isn't it.

376
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: I thought that parking lots empty, nothing going on today, Boss,

377
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: we can all go home. I thought that was quite

378
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: the story.

379
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: So got coming up this segment a couple of really

380
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: smart people I respect, and their view of why maybe

381
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: this isn't a good idea to jump ugly with Iran

382
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 3: right now, because I know a lot of you feel

383
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 3: that way about it.

384
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: I don't, but I know a lot of you do.

385
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: So we'll get to that coming up.

386
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 3: Also, our three sixty minutes story last night. They've been

387
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 3: the lead on this for a decade Vanis syndrome. Whoever

388
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: we now know it's Russia had that horrible weapon to

389
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: scramble diplomat's brains, and how that whole thing works, and

390
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 3: the CIA trying to cover it up and all this

391
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 3: different sort of stuff.

392
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: It's really interesting. We'll get into that in hour three.

393
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 4: We have miscommunicated. I thought you were going to do

394
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 4: skeptics here.

395
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: Well I can do it first. Yeah. Love to hear that. Yeah,

396
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: because I have a feeling I may be stealing some

397
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: of their thunder so LEI the way. I'll start with.

398
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated, as you'll remember last year. Horrifying,

399
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 3: but this was April of last year before he died,

400
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 3: long before we launched this war, but he saw it coming.

401
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 3: Apparently it's going unnoticed because so much other news is happening.

402
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 3: But the war drums are beating again in DC. The

403
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: warmongers worry this is their last chance to get the

404
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 3: white whale that they've been chasing for thirty years. An

405
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 3: all out regime change war against Iran, a new Middle

406
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 3: East war, would be a catastrophic mistake, said Charlie Kirk.

407
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: Our military stockpils are depleted from three years of backing Ukraine.

408
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: Our effort to reshore manufacturing is only just begun and

409
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: will take years to bear fruit. War would worse and

410
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: already are immense deficit. This is costing almost a billion

411
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 3: dollars a day, right, which is something this.

412
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: Far so far. You know, everything you said is certainly

413
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: pretty defensible, not necessarily true, but defensible. War would worse.

414
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 3: Are already amense deficit and national debt. Iran is larger

415
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 3: than a Raq, Syria and Afghanistan combined. I didn't realize

416
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 3: that ninety million people in just geographically huge a war

417
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 3: would not be easy and could easy easily become a calamity.

418
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 3: And then he thanks for President Trump for keeping us

419
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 3: out of wars at that point, so I thought that

420
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: was interesting. And then this from Tim Karney, who is

421
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: a conservative writer we used to have on the show

422
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: all the time. I thought this was really interesting from

423
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 3: a conservative standpoint. In general, dramatic changes to complex systems

424
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: always create unintended and unforeseen consequences, and those consequences are

425
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 3: often very bad. I mean, that is classic Burkian thinking

426
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 3: right there. This isn't merely a foreign policy view. This

427
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 3: is something that deeply conservative people believe so deeply that

428
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 3: you might not say it out loud. It's why a

429
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 3: conservatives is skeptical of grand new plans and revolutions, whether cultural, economic,

430
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: or otherwise. It's not that we live in the best

431
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: of all possible worlds. It's that we live in a

432
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 3: world more complex than we can imagine. Our power of

433
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 3: reason is awesome, but humans trying to rearrange civilization are

434
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: like amateurs tinkering with the home's electrical system. There's a

435
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: high risk of disaster.

436
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like in it if you like metaphors

437
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: to a complicated three dimensional Jenga game where you don't

438
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: realize that that stable thing over there is only stable

439
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: because of this kind of unrelated factor over here, and

440
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: you don't realize that until it falls apart, and in

441
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: retrospect you say, oh, man, I wish i'd known that.

442
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 3: I still am leaning toward whatever comes up out of

443
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 3: Iran will be better than what we had, since it

444
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 3: was so awful.

445
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, if it is merely the defanging of the regime,

446
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: that would be good enough. Although again, the you know,

447
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: the unforeseen secondary consequences are you know, that's the gamble,

448
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: and you hope you can handle them in a productive way.

449
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't.

450
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 3: In general, though it's one hundred percent correct, you start

451
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 3: having cultural revolutions like we've had in this country, with

452
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 3: all kinds of views of things, or actual revolutions different countries.

453
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: What comes out of it the fact that it's going

454
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 3: to be better rather than worse.

455
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: All right, Oh yeah, yeah, that's why angry young men

456
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: are generally to be restrained, because they always think it's

457
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: going to be better because they haven't been round the block.

458
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're constantly spouting off about major change and revolution.

459
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: It's absolutely undeniable and getting more undeniable by the day.

460
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: That there's a limit to what you can accomplish with

461
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 4: air power.

462
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: Never before of warplanes, missiles, and bombs been enough on

463
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: their own rights. One wag to remove one government and

464
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: replace it with another. The US military has upended governments

465
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: in the past, but all of those operations have required

466
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: troops or at least an indigenous force. You cannot get

467
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: rid of a government without troops. That's just the lesson

468
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: of history. Trump's made no secret of his desire for

469
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: regime change. He called on Iranians to rise up against

470
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: the government, saying quote, it will probably be your only

471
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: chance for generations. Just last Thursday, he said he must

472
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: be involved in picking Iran's next leader, and weird Beard Junior.

473
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 4: Ain't it, by the way, He's rejected.

474
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: That categorically, Weird Beard Junior. And he followed that up

475
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: on Friday, running on truth social that the US will

476
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: insist on an unconditional surrender that's all caps, and the

477
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: selection of a great an acceptable leader before making a

478
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: deal to bring Aron back from the brink of destruction.

479
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: But as Admiral Brad Cooper, who's the head of US

480
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: Central Command, if you're hip, you call it Sentcom, which

481
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: is overseeing the war TOLTD reporters Thursday, the ux strikes

482
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: could benefit Iron's opposition by targeting the headquarters and people

483
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: who target the protesters. But he urged the Iranian people

484
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: to stay in their homes and lay low at least

485
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: for a while. And as we mentioned yesterday, I'm sorry

486
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: earlier today, you look for cracks in the cohesion of

487
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: the regime. You got a military unit that starts refusing

488
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: orders to whatever fire on us, fire on their own people,

489
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. You're looking for the secretary of such

490
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: and such starts giving hints like, actually the president, who's

491
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: just a ceremonial guy. It's not like our president saying, hey,

492
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,479
Speaker 1: I'd like to apologize for the other statements the other

493
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: countries and I'm sorry I need to apologize for hitting

494
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: the other countries in the Gulf.

495
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 4: That was well, were we thinking?

496
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: And he got like dragged off the scene and told harshly,

497
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: you're not apologizing for anything. If that guy's still above ground,

498
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: I'd half surprised. I suppose they need all the leaders

499
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: they can get. But we haven't seen any of those

500
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: cracks appear. We haven't seen the governor of such and

501
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: such province say we seek peace with the United States

502
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: and are ready to disavow blah blah blah.

503
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 4: Nothing yet.

504
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 3: I thought we'd see the young people back out in

505
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: the street after Trump said that here's your chance. You know,

506
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: whatever it is, twenty thirty thousand of them got gunned down.

507
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 3: That'll make you hesitate. So here are some of the numbers.

508
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is established in the

509
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: infamous here of nineteen seventy nine to ensure the survival

510
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: of the revolutionary regime, so it's like they're security forces

511
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: regime security forces as opposed to an army army. It

512
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: includes one hundred and ninety thousand active duties. And these

513
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: guys are pretty hardcore. They know what their job is.

514
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: They're selected for their loyalty and fanaticism. One hundred and

515
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: ninety thousand. That's separate from the more than three hundred

516
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: thousand in Iran's conventional army. And you've heard of the

517
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: besiege militia that beats people down in the streets, the

518
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: plain clothes sweeps across the country, kills protesters, et cetera.

519
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: The besiege or the Besiege as they call them, did

520
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: most of that. About six hundred thousand of them that

521
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: can mobilize.

522
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 4: They're kind of a reserve force.

523
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: So that's a lot of hell of a lot of

524
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: bad Actors are saying, yeah, we with the status quo

525
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: is fine. Yeah, I know everything's getting bombed, but now

526
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: the status quo is staying. Anybody want to come out

527
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: of your house again?

528
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 4: Huh, it's tough not to crack.

529
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: Wow.

530
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 3: If I had to guess, maybe I'm just being led

531
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 3: by the pundits who this has been the chatter for

532
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 3: the last dozen hours or so. I think Trump at

533
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: some point declares victory and calls it off. Like late

534
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 3: in the week he said.

535
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: Something I think was today to the effect of this

536
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: will end when there's a mutual agreement to end it,

537
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: which is a little different from the rhetoric last week.

538
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: He's looking for a pipeline to come up with a

539
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: solution short of you know, just decimating her on and

540
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: having a regime change. Yeah, but I mean he does

541
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty percent on China tariff starts tomorrow,

542
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: and then you just say change my mind and that.

543
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean, there doesn't need to be an explanation, you

544
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: just do right. One more thought on this after award

545
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: from our friends at rough Greens. I mentioned earlier I'd

546
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: had a dream about Baxter, my dog, last night, in

547
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: which he was in trouble and I had to rescue

548
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: him and stuff like that. I just think it's you know,

549
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: you're worrying about your pets. You love your pets, especially

550
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: your dogs, and rough Greens is a way to rein

551
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: or your dog's diet with natural antioxidants and inflammatory compounds

552
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: that reduce oxidative stress, support the immune defense, and slow age.

553
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: Related decline. In other words, helping dogs day, active, mobile,

554
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: and alert as they age.

555
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so your dog's food is probably just okay health wise,

556
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,000

557

00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: What's that great saying Jack about how how life's not

570
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: like the movies, because you know, it's just a question

571
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: of when you yell cut or when the movie ends. Yeah,

572
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: there's no.

573
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: Such thing as a happy ending. It's all when you

574
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 3: roll the credits right exactly.

575
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: And I'm reminded of having married, or you could roll

576
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: the credits at the divorce, or he could roll the

577
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: credits at when one of them dies or whatever. Yeah, exactly,

578
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: I'll where you roll the credits. So as a guy

579
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: has been studying the Middle East since I was a

580
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: child and I'm getting tired of it, it could well

581
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: be Trump decides there's going to be no regime change.

582
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: We bomb for a little while, longer, we accept weird

583
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: Beard Junior, and everybody says I failed and blah blah blah,

584
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: didn't get regime changed. But the regime is defanged substantially

585
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: for a long time. And then a year and a

586
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: half from now, five years from now, a group that's

587
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: coalesced secretly exploits the weakness, kills a couple of major figures,

588
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: declares the or it could be, you know, a unit

589
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: or two of the Republican Guard decides, yeah, these guys

590
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: are jackasses, and.

591
00:29:59,040 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 4: It could be this.

592
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: You know, they roll the credits quote unquote in two

593
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: and a half, five ten years, and the face of

594
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: the Middle East changes completely. This is definitely yanked a

595
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: Jenga block. Who knows when it all tumbles or changes.

596
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: And you know, if you're a new listener, you might

597
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: be getting the sense, Wait a minute, these guys don't

598
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: worship Trump and say everything he does is perfect, and

599
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: yet they're not Trump deranged Lunatixie. Yeah, that's exactly right.

600
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: This could end very very well, could end very very badly,

601
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: or at some point in between.

602
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 3: And you know, I know, yeah, I still lean toward

603
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 3: you had the U leader and the forty people below him,

604
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 3: you knew exactly where he was going to be above ground.

605
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: Hit aile, you hit him. I don't know why you wouldn't,

606
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: But we'll see how it all turns out.

607
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 4: Me the new beard same as the old beard.

608
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: Is he still alive?

609
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 4: New beard?

610
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? How long? How long do you give him? I

611
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: give him till tomorrow. Boy, I gotta believe he is

612
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: hidden down deep some well somewhere.

613
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 3: Well at some point. It's like George Bush once said

614
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 3: about Osama bin Laden. He ain't leading any parades. I mean,

615
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 3: at some point you're so hidden. Are you accomplished? Are

616
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 3: you doing anything?

617
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

618
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 3: Sure enough, not accomplishing much. You have any thoughts on

619
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 3: this text? Line four one five two nine five kftc.

620
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: Are Hetty.

621
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: The prediction MarketSite Calshi is being sued for failing to

622
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: pay off fifty four million dollars to people who bet

623
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: that the Ayatola Kamane would leave office before March first,

624
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: because technically he never really left the office. Oh lot

625
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: of Iyatola fans here tonight.

626
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, yeah, that was more troubling than amusing.

627
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 4: Michael.

628
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 3: Hey, we'll get to this next hour. Maybe I didn't

629
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 3: dig into this. I saw the headline you us only

630
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: country in worldwide survey to say most fellow citizens are

631
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 3: bad people surveyed many many, many countries around the world

632
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 3: were the only country in the world where we say, yeah,

633
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 3: the rest of the people in this country are terrible.

634
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 3: That doesn't surprise me based on our current mood.

635
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 4: Huh No, No, that's interesting though. What is it about

636
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 4: this country?

637
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: Is it? Wow? I think the Marxist one in the schools.

638
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: I think it's that simple. Wow.

639
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably so, probably so.

640
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: On a completely different topic, although that is my favorite

641
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: topic in the world and will get me out of

642
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: bed until my dying day fighting those pieces of crap

643
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: we're trying to indoctrinate our children. I won't be able

644
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: to get out of bed unless they have a good

645
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: alarm clock. It's actually a pretty good transition. I'm pretty

646
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: proud of that. Some people have trouble waking up in

647
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: the morning, and there is a market now for more

648
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: extreme alarm clocks. Alarm clocks that shock you, make you

649
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: do math or make your money make free to I

650
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: understand being shocked. I don't understand an alarm clock that

651
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: makes me do math.

652
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 7: Yeah.

653
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll get into it a little bit. So

654
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: here's this gal who slept through a really important meeting.

655
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: She has trouble getting up in the morning, so both

656
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: she and her husband got the Pavlock shock clock, and

657
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: she gets hit with a shock of about three hundred

658
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: volts to her right wrist to wake her up in

659
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: the morning. Feels like someone pinching you, not softly either,

660
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: she says. Take it's a six or seven on the

661
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: pain scale. What I feel like? That would just launch

662
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: me into a horrible mood.

663
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: Well, and I'm gonna what the bed well and door

664
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 3: have a heart attack. I'm gonna lose my bladder, I mean,

665
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 3: not gonna clean that up, so I'm late for work anyway.

666
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: That's no way to wake up in shock, I mean,

667
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: like what and pain? Yeah, the Lord, that's gotta be

668
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: terrible for your system. But anyway, if you sold of

669
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: these and we need to track those people who buy

670
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 1: them because you're weird. You're made of sterner stuff than

671
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: I am. She sets hers to seventy five percent. Her

672
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: husband sets his to twenty five percent. He has very

673
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: low tolerance for pain, she says. Or you don't have

674
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: to like to set it with a cattle product.

675
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 4: Wakeme up.

676
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't turn it into like a negative character. It's

677
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: a character flaw that you don't want to get shocked

678
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: very hard in the morning when you wake up. She's

679
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: come on now, yeah, she's all. My husband's a sissy.

680
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: I want my eyes bugging out, ringing. I want scars left.

681
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

682
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 1: Christina Garrison, marketing director at Pavlock, says the shock quote

683
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: lasts for a fraction of a second and is not

684
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: meant to cause harm or lingering pain. Now, if you'll

685
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: excuse me, I've got to get back to George Orwell's

686
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four, where I'm enforcing Big Brothers will come

687
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: so a torture clock.

688
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 3: Lady, assuming I wear I don't know, plastic pants so

689
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 3: I can avoid the cleanup, or however I go about this,

690
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 3: is this like the idea you're gonna do this rest

691
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 3: of your life or is this a is there a

692
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 3: Pavlovian thing that eventually you will w but when you

693
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 3: hear the alarm clock, because you'll be wanting to avoid

694
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 3: the shock.

695
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: That's a really interesting question. They don't address that at all.

696
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: Here's a different market or a different method. Rather, I'm

697
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: trying to read as I talk. You hire a little person,

698
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: need to give him a ballpeen hammer. Why a little

699
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: person I don't like. I don't like the size of

700
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: a pool sized person with a hammer next to my bed.

701
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,959
Speaker 1: I've seen some brownny brownie little people anyway. So here's

702
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: a different sort of discomfort. Here's a dude who bought

703
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: an alarm system that's on your smartphone, and the alarm

704
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: goes off. Great, presumably you wake up, but you hit

705
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: snooze a bunch of times. If he hits snooze, I

706
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: think it's more than if he it's more than five

707
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: minutes or something. Until he gets to the shower and

708
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: scans a bar code on his shampoo bottle, which you

709
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: get from the company and you put it on your

710
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: shampoo bottle. Obviously he's got to scan that barcode within

711
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: five minutes or it finds him twenty five dollars and

712
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: donates that to charity. Is like that. I would sleep

713
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: through that one and say, oh, you know, the charity

714
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: needs it, the poor hungry kids. He started at five bucks,

715
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: but he's like five bucks, who cares, so he raised

716
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: it himself to twenty five bucks. Now it works, Armstrong

717
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: and getty
