Now on with the Infotainment. 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.400 I got started on this jag because it's happening at 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.840 a local skateboard park and it reminded me of something 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.040 that happened to me years ago in la and I 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.440 wanted to tell this story again because it drives me nuts. 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:07.520 It's a great example of the conflict of visions that 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:12.399 Thomas Soyl talks about between conservatives and progressives and just 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.600 different ways of seeing the world and stuff like that, 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.680 where I can't get in the mind. I can't even 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.560 understand the point of view of the people I'm about 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.440 to talk about, and they can't understand my point of view. 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.640 So we've got a local story here in Fulsome, California. 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.960 That's right, that Fulsome. I heard the training come and 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:33.600 coming around the bend. I shot a guy just for 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:39.679 fun whatever. That whole thing Fullsome skateboard park where for 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.319 a couple of reasons, they're talking about doing away with 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.640 the attendants at the skateboard park. The attendant's job is to, 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.960 it says, stop graffiti from happening, break up fights, and 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:55.480 to make sure skateboarders have helmets and pads on wouldn't 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.880 they skateboard? The city is saying they don't have enough 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.680 money for the attendant. A whole bunch of skateboarders showed 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.480 up to various meetings and said, nobody goes because nobody's 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:06.720 gonna wear all those pats. 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:07.760 So what's the point. 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:09.920 I just saw a video up on the TV and 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:14.880 it showed one kid in this giant, glorious looking skateboard park. 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:19.040 One kid's skateboarding, and it said on there it said 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.800 they've had five hundred and eighty people a month on 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.359 average during summertime. That's nobody's I did the math, that's 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.160 nineteen a day or something like that. That's nobody. You 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.720 should have two hundred kids a day there. I've had 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:36.079 this experience drives me nuts. When I went to Los Angeles, 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.720 my son was super into skateboarding. One time we went, 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.920 we went to LA just to do like a tour 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.360 of skateboard parks. He'd never been to different ones, and 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:44.959 I thought, in LA's probably got a lot of great 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.640 skateboard parks. We'd been to the one on Venice Beach 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.000 and checked that out. As we traveled around, almost every 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.760 skateboard park we went to, which was empty on a 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.119 beautiful day eighty degree like it always isn't a La 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:02.839 eighty degrees, slight breeze, This beautiful sunshine, empty skateboard park 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.600 in the summertime, but an attendant there saying, I'm sorry, 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.359 you can't skate here because you don't have the pads. 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:08.560 Because we didn't bring pads. 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:10.600 I always had him wear a helmet, but he didn't 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.280 have elbow pads and knee pads and all that sort 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.680 of stuff, so he couldn't skateboard there. And the first 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.200 one it was like annoying. The second one it was 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:22.040 like annoying times five. By the third one, actually, I 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.280 found a skateboard park that was packed full of people 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.160 skateboarding because they didn't have an attendant, got to skateboard 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.560 for a while, tried a different skateboard park, also empty, 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.160 with a person there with a clipboard attending it. And 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.839 that's when I started getting angry and lecturing people and saying, yes, 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.440 do you realize there's a skateboard park like a mile 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.160 from here that's packed full of people's skateboarding, kids baking. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.680 You have nobody here, So what are you accomplishing? 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:47.760 You? 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:49.760 Why did you build a skateboard park. 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.840 It's empty on a gorgeous date, nobody's using it. 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:54.880 Well, we need to make sure kids are safe. 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.160 Well, first of all, you don't, but you might as 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.480 well not have a skatebo either have one or don't. 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:07.480 But you're not stopping kids from wrecking on their skateboard 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.680 because they're not skateboarding, or they're traveling further away to 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.680 go to some place where they don't have to wear pads. 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.640 And every I said this at several skateboard parks, and 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:17.919 all they did was look at me like I'm an 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.599 angry lunatic, partially because I was an angry lunatic. 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:25.360 But I like, I can't get in the headspace. 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.559 Of anybody who could be an attendant, or the parents 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.840 who think that's a good idea. Better to have an 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:36.320 empty skateboard park than to let our kids skin their 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:37.599 knees or elbows. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:43.640 The paternalism probably a poor choice of words, since some 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:48.240 of these people are literally fathers, but the condescension, the 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:53.080 nannyism of it is disgusting to me. The idea that kids, 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.120 all of a sudden, for the first time in human history, 0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:01.920 can't within reasonable bounds a that's their own risk tolerance 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:07.839 and their own willingness to endure the negative consequences of 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.239 overdoing it. I mean, for the first time in human history, 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.120 kids must be protected from banging up their elbows and knees. 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.560 I do not get someone coming to that conclusion and 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.640 being so pleased with themselves. 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.120 I'm horrified by it. 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.880 I'm disgusted by it literally because I see what it's 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.520 doing the generation of kids, generations of kids. 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:29.560 Why do kids have so. 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.119 Much anxiety because they haven't been allowed in general, because 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:37.880 they haven't been allowed to develop a sense of risk 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.080 tolerance throughout their lives and confidence that they know. 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:46.040 What they're doing. They're veal caves. That's indisputable. It's been documented. 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.880 As we've talked about before, Europe has figured out that 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.479 they're doing away with like the super safe parts and 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.560 stuff like that. They're moving toward kids doing more dangerous stuff, 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.080 banging their heads and elbows and stuff more often. Because 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.880 it's good for you for all kinds of different emotional reasons. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.120 But I also wonder just what it does to children. 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.120 I know with my kids, part of it. What it 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.960 does to children to see all these stupid, freaking, they 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.400 don't make any sense laws. I know it's made my 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:19.440 kids less respectful of all laws, is what it's done. 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.320 And of course it would because when you're confronted with 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.880 stupid ones, it makes you think everybody who makes laws 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.279 is stupid? So why would I pay attention to this 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.080 one because that one's obviously dumb. 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.840 If Thomas Jefferson were here, he might say, first of all, 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.039 what are those metal things flying through this guy? But 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.920 he would also say, this reminds me of that discussion 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.520 you guys had about rent controls like twenty minutes ago. 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:41.960 This is the same thing. 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.760 You have a market of faith or respect for the law, 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.640 and your sons have seen more and more stupid. 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.080 Useless, paternalistic laws. 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.520 Their faith in the laws declining, they will behave politically 0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:58.760 in a way that. 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:00.960 Ends that as soon as they can. 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.920 If indeed, you can fight the nanty state and they 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:09.320 will be beaten back by your son's disgust with a paternalism. 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.800 I know a woman who is super nice and very 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.080 helpful to me, and just like the nicest person in 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:17.800 the world, have been very helpful to me in all 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.720 kinds of different ways of my life. But she told 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.480 me the story and I kept my mouth shut about 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.880 how when the skateboard park in my town opened up, 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.240 how she and another mom they would go there on 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.600 the weekends and set up and monitor to make sure 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.400 all the kids were wearing the proper pads and helmets 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.440 and everything like that. And she said she kept it 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.320 up for a summer or two, but they just couldn't 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:43.880 keep up the schedule. I did, I just like, were 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:47.400 you a kid ever once? And maybe a few girls didn't. 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.040 Did you notice the boys did bang their knees and 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.760 have bloody eb have s scabs on their elbows and 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.240 knees constantly as a child, And did you think that 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:57.720 that was. 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.280 Just awful, like Aschwitzer. 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.520 Or something like that, that they were having scabs on 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.000 their knees. It's like the most normal thing in the 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.360 world for a ten year old boy to have a 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:08.440 scab on his knee. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.040 Yeah, I can't hold back. I generally say something in 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.720 situations like that. It's probably why I have very few friends. 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.640 But uh, yeah. 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.520 Well I can't stop short of you're a psycho, because 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:19.880 I think you are. 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.160 I see that's your problem. 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.840 How do you not look around an empty skateboard park 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.560 and think, well, this is somehow self defeating If we 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.080 have nobody using the skateboard park, I'm not sure what 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.000 we're doing. 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.040 Here, right exactly? Yeah? 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:38.800 Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, you gotta develop going from emotional 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.080 gear one to five. You got to you gotta be 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.600 able to settle into two and three there and make 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.960 the argument. You know, I respectfully disagree. I think kids 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.320 need to take risks and get banged up and learn 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.800 that it won't kill them and decide how risky they 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.280 want to live their life. It's great the kids get 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.640 banged up. Were you not a kid once? Do you 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.680 think kids are built differently now? Are they're like bones 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:01.720 made of glass now and they didn't used to be? 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.240 Every time? What is your thought process? 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.720 I just think it makes me insane that sort of thing, 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:12.640 all right, My alternative to safety first, plus the greatest 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.800 quote ever on this topic from the Great C.

We're driving around all these 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:33.280 skateboard parts. 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.280 Finally, I was just getting Sam had been looking forward 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.280 to the skateboard parts so much. It was our vacation. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.840 We were there and we couldn't go anywhere. So I 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.480 finally found I had to go to like two stores. 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.200 Finally found a bike store where they sold knee pads 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.160 and elbow pads, stuff like that, just so we could 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.839 go skateboard. We went to one and they said they 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.160 weren't the right kind of elbow pads. And I don't 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.800 think I've ever been angrier in my life, and I 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.360 just couldn't let it go. It was like my head 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.240 was gonna pop off. I hate that feeling where I 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.120 just it's a cognitive dissonance I just can't make. I 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:08.600 couldn't make the empty skate park, skateboard park, beautiful day. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.160 There's nothing wrong with this, It doesn't hurt anything to 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.840 bang your knee. All fit into my head. It just 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.280 was making me crazy. 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:21.400 Right right, There is absolutely a vein of especially you know, 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.000 it clicked in my head when you got to that 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.400 example of oh yeah, he's got elbow pads, but they're 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:29.320 not the right cod right that That is absolutely the 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:33.040 intoxication of power aiding What I was going to talk 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.800 about here, just the great CS. Lewis quote, which we've 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.200 used many times on the show. But of all tyrannies, 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.959 a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.960 maybe the most oppressive. It may be better to live 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:51.920 under robber barons than under omniptent, moral, busybodies. The robber 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:56.040 baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity or greed may 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.840 at some point be satiated. But those who torment us 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.000 for our own good will torment men us without end, 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.000 for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:09.760 So true, I want to popular popularize the saying, maybe we. 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.679 Gotta get T shirts going safety. 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.959 Third, yeah, I and people would ask what Wait, Wait, 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.280 isn't the expression safety first and the safe. Maybe the 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.720 back of the safety third T shirt would have one 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:30.480 courage two curiosity three safety safety third. Right, I'll bet 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.560 I'm not talking about handing your four year old of 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.960 forty five letting them squeeze off a couple of shots. 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.160 We're talking about kids riding their bike at a parking 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:39.920 playing ball. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.960 I'm sure the one woman still tells stories about the 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.440 bald lunatic. Okay, because I remember walking away, have fun 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.920 monitoring your empty skateboard park. You're doing a lot of 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.480 good for the world. I was so mad. 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.920 Yeah, she cannot conceive of what you were trying to communicate. 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.800 Now she thinks that, thank god, if I hadn't been here, 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:08.360 that lunatic would have let his kids skateboard without me pads, 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:09.600 how many people would have died. 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.920 It's a it's a stereotype, and it's oversimplified because there 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.480 are many tough, smart, great women who have helped make 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.520 America great. But we have gone from maybe too much 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.160 of a daddy society to too much. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:20.520 Of a mommy. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.080 So, without a doubt, oh, we are clutching our children 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:28.360 to our aprons and not letting them risk a single thing. 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.240 Good Lord, The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:39.880 More Jack your Joe podcasts and our hot links Jack 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:44.080 Armstrong and Joe Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.040 I don't know what happened in the. 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.680 Keys honey or oh my god, I'm sorry, I'm sorry 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.200 that I don't know what to say to that. 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:59.599 I apologize.

Oh that's funny. What are 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.000 fridge cigarettes? I like to hip you, obviously to new 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.840 phrases and things like that, whether they're acronyms or two 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:45.400 words blended together or whatever, you know, staycations, whatever they are. 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.560 What kind of summer we're supposed to have? That's right? 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:52.040 What are we having? We had this last week? Who 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.640 was a therapy bro summer? That's what we're having? Oh goodness, 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.520 too many summers and moons? Fridge cigaretts. 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:05.879 It's your pop in the refrigerator, soda in the refrigerator, 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:08.680 you know, like sitting is the new smoking. 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.400 Somebody actually said that to me the other day and said, 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.960 I believe sitting is a new smoking, And I think 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:18.240 they weren't trying to be funny. I think they just act. 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.560 They were trying to pretend that they came up with 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.000 that on their own, and they were presenting it to 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:26.239 me anyway. I just let it rolls. Fridge cigarettes, you're 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:30.479 drinking soda. It's like smoking cigarettes taking years off your life. 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:31.680 That's a pretty good turn off. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:41.720 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.520 Why did spoke at a bipartisan event to encourage Democrats 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.800 or Republicans to work to protect social security together? Which 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.040 seems about as likely to happen as a reboot of 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:59.719 Fiddler on the Roof starring Kanye West. But social security 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:03.240 is number one for Joe Biden. Literally, his social Security 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.480 number is one. 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.240 That's kind of interesting as a lead into this Republicans 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.280 newark Ats not being able to work together. It would 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.960 seem that they could work together on cutting spending based 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.880 on this polling that just came out from the Cato Institute. 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:21.240 CATO is a serious think tank. It's a conservative think tank. 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.520 They worked with you GOV on this survey and it's 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:30.119 one of your really big, large number of people, wide 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.880 reaching lots of questions sort of survey that comes out 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:34.639 every once in a while from these think tanks. I 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.800 don't know which of these numbers is my favorite. There's 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.440 a lot of them that are just mind blowingly make 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:44.440 me happy, But I can't believe because public will is 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.080 a real big part of getting anything done in a democracy. 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.880 Obviously, if you got big. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.760 Majorities of people that want something to happen, you should 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.280 be able to get it to happen and run on it. 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.439 Here's my favorite of all the spending we've done in 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.320 the last ten years, and we've done a lot of 0:18:58.359 --> 0:18:59.800 spending in the last ten years. 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.399 Eighty five percent. Now that's a big number. 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.800 Whenever you get eighty five percent of people in agreement 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:07.360 on something, you'd think you could get. 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:08.400 Political will to do something. 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.040 Eighty five percent say that spending is either not helped 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.159 them or made their lives worse. 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:19.160 Eighty five percent. That's astounding. 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:21.840 You wouldn't get that from taking it in through the 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.920 mainstream media, who feels like all government programs are wonderful 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.000 and doges trying to cut back on any of them 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.359 as a horror. Eighty five percent of Americans say all 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.800 that spending has either not done anything for me or 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.200 actually made my life worth the worse forty two percent 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:38.959 no impact, forty three percent say it reduced to their 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:40.080 quality of life. 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:44.280 Wow, that's got to be inflation, which is the greatest 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.440 teacher of economic principles in the history of mankind. 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:51.320 Well, ors, just I regularly say, and this is true 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.480 for me in my own personal life. I believe the 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:57.439 government stops me from doing things more than it helps me. 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:03.119 Uh, yeah, I think so. I mean, And well, do 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.520 you drive on the roads? Yeah? We we know you're 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:10.760 an idiot. Courses. I'm not even gonna explain why you're mora. 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:11.560 I know, moron. 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:15.240 And by the way, this is a non partisan observation. 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:20.840 Eight and ten Democrats and nine and ten Republicans believe 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:23.680 that the increase in federal spending has either made their 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:24.920 lives not better or worse. 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.400 Boy, this is really heartening, I know, if the Republican 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.040 If the Republicans can keep between the ditches and not 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:35.040 roll the car of their messaging over, it seems to 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:37.680 me like the ground is super fertile for some good, 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:39.480 solid conservatism in the years to come. 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.920 Three quarters of Americans say the government spends too much. 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:47.720 Love that seventy six percent the government spends too much. 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.640 And again it's not a partisan thing at all. Majorities 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:54.800 of Democrats fifty nine percent of Democrats think the government 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:55.919 spends too much money. 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.360
