1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty.

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty.

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 4: We need greenland for national security purposes.

6
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: You look outside.

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 4: You have China ships all over the place. You have

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 4: Russian ships all over the place.

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: We're not letting that happen.

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 4: You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 4: take a look at what that looks like, and it

12
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 4: would also be much better for national security. We're spending

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 4: hundreds of billions a year to take care of Canada.

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: We lose in trade deficits.

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 4: We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 4: of Mexico to trump the Gulf of America. Mexico has

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 4: to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, Gulf of America, Which, why why didn't we do

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 5: this a long time ago? That's the only thing I

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 5: thought when he said, Yeah, obviously we should call it

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 5: the Gulf of America.

22
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: We're going to plate the Bahamas in gold, gold plated islands.

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: There'll be a mini People are saying they'll be the

24
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: most beautiful islands. So just to summarize, we're annexing Greenland

25
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: and Canada and renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: And I'm in favor of all three.

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 5: So I heard a Greenland politician on NPR today talking about, Yeah,

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 5: we got Chinese ships right after our shore. They're surveilling,

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 5: it's on a daily basis, and he was all for

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 5: some sort of falling under the umbrella of the United States.

31
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: It's absolutely necessary.

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: We've talked about it a couple of times today, including

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: it length I think during our one. But yeah, Greenland

34
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: and the Arctic in general is going to be of

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: enormous I mean, you can't even comprehend how enormous strategic

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: significance in the next fifty years. And yeah, what is

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: Denmark going to defend the free trade around the world.

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: No, we are, And so we've.

39
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Got to reevaluate our relationship with Greenland in what form

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: that takes.

41
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: Who knows the deal with Grenmark.

42
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 5: Denmark is fairly recent, that's what this politician was talking

43
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 5: about on NPR. I didn't know about that, I think

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 5: fifty six or something like that. The hell did Denmark

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 5: end up Greenland?

46
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'd looked at buying it or something to

47
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: that effect a couple of times and it just didn't

48
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: go through. But it's not that crazy. I mean, it's

49
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: fifty six thousand people. It's an enormous mass of land

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: and frozen fresh water, mostly of again, an incredible strategic importance,

51
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: and it's not like we're gonna run rough shot in

52
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: there and burn it like Sherman on his way to

53
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: Atlanta or anything like that.

54
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: The c ATV Park, it'd be awesome.

55
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: Call Lord anyway. So more on that to come, I'm

56
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: sure in the days ahead. But as usual Trump he

57
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: left it vague enough. It sounded kind of loopy, but

58
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: when you dig into the details, pretty great. Canada is

59
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: not going to become part of the United States. He's

60
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: just dicking with them. Pardon me, he's trolling them as

61
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: part of going into trade negotiations.

62
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: The Gulf of America, though, you got me a hundred.

63
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: What the hell is it?

64
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: The Gulf of Mexico. Please, we surrounded as much as

65
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: they do. If there's oil drilling, we're doing it.

66
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: Maybe you're not fair of that.

67
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: But if something goes wrong in the Gulf of Mexico,

68
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: if there's a natural disaster, a hurricane, an oil spell, whatever,

69
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: who cleans it up? The car tells no, the United

70
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: States government.

71
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 5: As we said yesterday, when you change the name of

72
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 5: something like that, who do you call the map people?

73
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: Or I mean, what is the system for that?

74
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: Well? And what does that mean exactly?

75
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean I could call it Jimmy the Golf or

76
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: the Gulf of Armstrong and Getty.

77
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: Or what significance does that have?

78
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

79
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, anyway, So I don't like I'm against cynicism

80
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: in general, because often it is laziness. It's the I

81
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: reject everything. I'm smarter than everyone. Everything everybody says is stupid.

82
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like adolescent intellectual laziness. Yeah, I'm skeptical.

83
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: You got to be a realist.

84
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that was you portrayed that as like an

85
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 5: overall life philosophy.

86
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: Obviously that would be bad.

87
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 5: I'm pretty I'm pretty cynical about government. I mean, I'm

88
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 5: past skeptical into My assumption is you're bad in a thief.

89
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 1: You're already in Greenland ahead of the hundred and first

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 1: airborne jack.

91
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: That's exactly what I was going.

92
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: To point out, and the oh my god, I gave

93
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: up the classified plans they briefed me.

94
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: I swore I wouldn't say anything. So I'm so sorry.

95
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 5: So got everyone. Ranger is going to land in Greenland. Say,

96
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 5: and now, what am I supposed to do?

97
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: There's nobody.

98
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're sailing right now. Oh no, I did

99
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: it again. Oh I'm so sorry to fight.

100
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: There's nobody here.

101
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: One of the most telling, devastating, sickening parts of Mark

102
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: Leivivich's brilliant book This Town. We've talked about this more

103
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: than once, but when uh, he is talking to a

104
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: couple of political consultants, avvyweight political guys, like campaign director

105
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: type guys, as they're gonna do an appearance on a

106
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: talk show and jaw with each other, argue with each

107
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: other and call each other names and the rest of it.

108
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: And they're good buddies. They're laughing and yucking it up

109
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: in the green room. Then they're going to go off

110
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: to the cocktail parties and the private schools and the

111
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, rich parts of DC Metro that they all

112
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: live in. And one of them says, and this is

113
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: the classic definition of a gaff.

114
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: He says, accidentally says the truth out loud.

115
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: He says something the effect of somebody's not in on

116
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: the joke or they don't get the joke, and Leibovich

117
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: has to try a couple of times to get them

118
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: to admit what the joke is. And finally the guy says,

119
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: the joke is that we're patriots.

120
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: Okay, that is disturbing.

121
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: That ought to disturb you. If it doesn't, well again,

122
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: you're already there. And I congratulate you for your realism

123
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: and so on. Of my missions. So one of my

124
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: mini jihads is to help people understand that while morality

125
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: and decency and patriotism and all those things are really

126
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: important and I'm not cynical about them at.

127
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: All, you've got to be aware that.

128
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: Evil, cynical people use moral arguments because they know you

129
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: are a moral person, and they use those to win

130
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: the day and then do evil things. And you've got

131
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: to be aware of when people are doing that. It's

132
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: like the old saying, and it's been used about Islam

133
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: around the world. When and you know, to paraphrase it,

134
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: when we're in the minority, we will shout about free

135
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: expression because we don't have the power. When we have

136
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: the power, because that's your principles. When we have the power,

137
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna suppress free expression because that's our principles. You've

138
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: just got to understand that as people are hitting you

139
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:05,239
Speaker 1: with arguments. For instance, Haakim Jeffries, very very bright guys,

140
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: the minority leader of the Senate of the House. Now

141
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: he took over from Nancy Pelosi, Liberal from New York.

142
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: But he was speaking on the House floor after the

143
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: election of Mike Johnson as a speaker a couple of

144
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: days ago, and he said, and I quote two months ago,

145
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: the American people elected Donald Trump as the forty seventh

146
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America. And then they

147
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: the Republicans, clapped. He said, thank you for that very

148
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: generous applause, which is kind of funny.

149
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: Says, it's okay. There are no election deniers on our

150
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: side of the aisle. You see.

151
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: One should love America. One should love America when you

152
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: win and when you lose. That's the patriotic thing to do.

153
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: And that's the America that House Democrats will fight hard

154
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: to preserve because we love this country.

155
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: That sounds good.

156
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: I agree with every word he said. And it's such

157
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: an interesting to me moral dilemma, undrum, thought provoking situation.

158
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: When you've got a gun drawn on a serial killer

159
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,720

164
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: that you agree with in order to get ahead. And

165
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: what do you do? What do I do? Since I

166
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,679

172
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: about the twenty sixteen election, the more illegitimate it becomes.

173
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: America deserves to know whether we have a fake president

174
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: in the Oval office. Hashtag Russian interference September twenty eighth,

Speaker 1: clear the effort to destroy the Post office is part

180
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: of a continuing conspiracy to steal the election for the

181
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: most corrupt administration in American history. Remember that the entire

182
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: crime family must be held accountable. And November twenty twenty,

183

Speaker 1: history will never accept you as a legitimate president. Twenty fourteen.

184
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, say.

185
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 3: Funny twist on that if I could go back in time,

186
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: he wins again.

187
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

188
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: September of twenty one, Republicans hijacked the judiciary by stealing

189
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: two Supreme Court seats, and now they want us to

190
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: respect illegitimate decisions from these people. October of twenty two,

191
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: right wing extremists are publicly plotting to steal the next

192
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: presidential election.

193
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: And on and on.

194
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: He is an election denier extraordinay, he's one of the

195
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: kings of it, making the moral argument to us that

196
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: how dare you You should never ever do that.

197
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: You can't be cynical enough about these people.

198
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: No you can't, No, you can't.

199
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 5: And I took in a fair amount of information about

200
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 5: the founding and the Constitution and stuff over the break,

201
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 5: and I was having those thoughts. I mean, were they

202
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 5: just a better class of people than us. Did our

203
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 5: culture decay to an extent where we can't have people

204
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 5: that actually care more about the country than their party.

205
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: Politicians have always been politicians.

206
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

207
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 5: I mean, and the podcast I was listening to, for instance,

208
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 5: one example of how quickly things can turn.

209
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: I mean, we had the Bill of Rights and.

210
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 5: Free speech being number one, and it was just a

211
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 5: couple of years later that the sitting president in Congress passed.

212
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 3: The law outlawing saying anything bad about the.

213
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: Country, right, it was the Alien and Sedition Acts.

214
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: One of the worst things that's ever passed in the

215
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: country was the Founding Generation themselves.

216
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, so, I don't know. Maybe that's just the state

217
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 5: of humanity. It's the seduction of power. It's power makes

218
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 5: you do perverse things. I think part of the answer.

219
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: To your question, and that was the exception, but I

220
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: still think part of the answer is they were so

221
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: close to overcoming the crisis of oppression by Britain and

222
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: fighting for freedom than the articles of the Confederation falling apart.

223
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 1: Anybody who was like openly power hungry and damaging the country.

224
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes from Lincoln

225
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: and one of the great Supreme Court justices said, Look,

226
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: if the Constitution doesn't live in the hearts of the people,

227
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: there's no army, there's no laws, there's nothing that can

228
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: save it. And if it does live in the hearts

229
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: of the people, there's nothing that can end it. And

230
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: we're at a point now where, especially in our political class,

231
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: we are so rich and so comfortable, and there's so

232
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: much power and money at stake, and we're so safe

233
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: that that impulsive you dare not threaten the health of

234
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: this country is given away to the opposite. Nobody cares

235
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: about the health of the country. We're great, will always

236
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: be great.

237
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 5: Grab what you can, right, there's going to be a

238
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 5: lot of money passed through my hands or my area.

239
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get mine.

240
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: Like the Biden family, they got rich, got their twenty

241
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: four LLC's going laundered, the money got away. What the

242
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: hell the guy got elected to the White House?

243
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: I am too.

244
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 5: If you have any thoughts on that, because I wonder

245
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 5: about that all the time. Is that just a different

246
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 5: breed of people, or has it always been this way

247
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 5: tax line four one KFTC.

248
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 6: A nutrition study analyzed the health benefits of various ultra

249
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 6: processed foods and drinks, and scientists have revealed that you

250
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 6: lose twelve minutes of your life every time you drink

251
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 6: a coke. What explains why Coca cola chants are slogan

252
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 6: from taste the feeling to get your affairs in order?

253
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 5: Wow, twelve minutes per coke, So four of them and

254
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 5: I've lost to you an hour.

255
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 3: Practically, I guess I.

256
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: Have five minutes per cigarettes.

257
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: So if I wash down my cancer stick with a coke, Wow,

258
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: that's rough.

259
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 5: I am trying to cut back on the ultra process

260
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 5: anything that comes in a plastic bag I am. I'm

261
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 5: making a definite effort to have lessen. Hey, Katie, I

262
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 5: need you to do something because it's going to factor

263
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 5: into the end of this little conversation. Will you get

264
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 5: the Google definition or the Dictionary definition of neurotic for me?

265
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 3: Because I think that's what I am.

266
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm neurotic or a missingthroat more

267
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 5: one of the two anyway, So I was gonna mention

268
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 5: this this is all leading to that didn't watch the

269
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 5: Golden Globes the other night, but one of the biggest

270
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 5: winners was the movie The Brutalist, which I don't even

271
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 5: know if I'd ever heard of, but I won a

272
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 5: whole bunch of dang awards.

273
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: Do you know about the Rutless or have you seen it?

274
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: Just the headline? Okay, I had exactly the same reaction.

275
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 5: Escaping post war Europe, a visionary architect comes to America

276
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 5: to rebuild his life, his career, and his marriage on

277
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 5: his own in a strange new country. He settles in Pennsylvania,

278
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 5: where a wealthy and prominent industrialist recognizes his talent.

279
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: It's all in the execution, right.

280
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 5: So welcome to our country. Yeah, all that sort of stuff.

281
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 5: So it sounds like it is really really good. Denzel

282
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 5: Washington ended up losing. He set some sort of record

283
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 5: by being nominated for a certain number of times for

284
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 5: his role in a Gladiator two, which I have seen

285
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 5: and I saw with my kids. Over the break, Henry

286
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 5: and I watched the first Gladiator, which I'd forgotten how

287
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 5: great it is, and it is now in my top

288
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 5: certainly my top five all time movies. What an amazing

289
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 5: movie that is. But Gladiator two not as good in

290
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 5: a whole bunch of different ways. Denzel Washington was fantastic.

291
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 5: The really great actors they like stand out against the

292
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 5: other pe and I don't even know what it is.

293
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: I would agree, and it's amazing.

294
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: Particularly that doesn't mean I want to hear their opinion

295
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: about anything other than acting.

296
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 5: Although I would agree with most of what Denzel Washington

297
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 5: has to say.

298
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well a lot of movie acting is so

299
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: weird because it's just you and the camera and it's

300
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: just you're not reacting to people just anyway.

301
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: But it's an art form certainly.

302
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, But here's what happened going to the theater. Well,

303
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 5: what's a neurotic? Tell me what a neurotic is.

304
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 7: Well, you would have something called neurosis, which is a

305
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 7: mental condition that is not caused by organic disease, involving

306
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 7: symptoms of stress, depression, or anxiety, but also not a

307
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 7: radical loss of touch with reality.

308
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: The way I always heard it described in psych class

309
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: was that if you're a psychotic, you do not perceive

310
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: reality as it is. If you're neurotic, you perceive it correctly,

311
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: but you come to the wrong conclusions.

312
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 5: And I don't think that's what I am I'm a missanthrope.

313
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 5: I hate all humanity. Maybe that's it. But anyway, so

314
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 5: for this movie theater, you had to, like I have

315
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 5: book your seats.

316
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: Ahead of time or whatever.

317
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 5: Okay, fine, we get to the movie theater and there's

318
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 5: nobody there. It's literally empty. We go in, we sit down.

319
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 5: Shortly before the movie starts. You know where I'm going here,

320
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 5: three people come in in an empty movie theater and

321
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 5: walk in and sit.

322
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: Right in front of us.

323
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: Oh my lord.

324
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 5: So I wanted to ask the guy if we could

325
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 5: go outside, not to fight him, but to interview him,

326
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 5: because I want to know more about his life. I

327
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 5: want to know, what do you do for a living?

328
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 5: Are you married, do you pay taxes? What other views

329
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 5: do you have that makes you so freaking insane that

330
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 5: in an empty movie theater you would sit right in

331
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 5: front of the only people in there.

332
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I'm the same. First, I would be just

333
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: insane with annoyance. Then I would think I want to

334
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: know more.

335
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 5: Right, just what the hell goes on in your mind

336
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 5: that you did that?

337
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 2: And it makes me crazy.

338
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 5: I mean, it makes me more crazy that he exists

339
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 5: and wondering about him than the fact he was sitting

340
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 5: right in front of me.

341
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: I'll send spitballs in the back of the neck Cake

342
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: Cure and Getty.

343
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 8: The technology is head turning, allowing your car to come

344
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 8: to you from anywhere in the parking lot through Tesla's

345
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 8: phone app and the touch of a button.

346
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 2: No driver inside. But the National Highway Traffic.

347
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 8: Safety Administration is raising concerns about the actually smart sum

348
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 8: in feature in an estimated two and a half million Teslas,

349
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 8: saying it is launching a probe over reported problems of

350
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 8: failing to detect posts or parked vehicles resulting in a

351
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 8: crash and the operator not having enough time to react.

352
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 5: Well, that would suck if I press the button for

353
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 5: my Tesla to come to me and it backs into somebody.

354
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 5: Now that has changed my afternoon. First of all, they're

355
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 5: what do you say, two million Teslas in the whole country.

356
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 5: That's a tiny number at that being the most popular

357
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 5: electric car out there. The new software update on the

358
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 5: self driving really good, smoother than it's ever been. But

359
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 5: somehow I got it on an old lady setting. Today

360
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 5: it's coming to work. It's like, how slow were we

361
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 5: gonna go?

362
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: How much?

363
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 5: How many car links do we need? To leave here

364
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 5: the old lady I got to change it. Or it

365
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 5: was a student driver with the teacher with them, that's

366
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 5: what it was driving.

367
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: Like currently taking driving tech.

368
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 5: I need to set up for aggressive man on the

369
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 5: way to work, That's what it needs to be said up.

370
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: Well, it's a grudge against humidity exactly.

371
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 5: The car thing reminded me a term I heard yesterday.

372
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 5: You're gonna want to know this, you know how put

373
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 5: a pin in It has been big for a while.

374
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 5: If you're in your boardroom setting or whatever, you got

375
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 5: to talk the lingo. We're going to park the car

376
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 5: on that and come back to it later. I guess

377
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 5: that's a thing now park in the too many metaphors,

378
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 5: no longer putting a pennant. We're going to park that car.

379
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 5: We'll come back to it. So if you want to,

380
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 5: I know, I don't want to.

381
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to be in the meeting. I didn't

382
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: want any of it.

383
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of cars, though, I wanted to get this

384
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,959
Speaker 1: on and this is getting no attention. I'm glad CBS

385
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: News touched on it. But the FBI, who has currently

386
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: covered itself in glory and others, had been telling the

387
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: City of New Orleans for years. You have got to

388
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: put up the ballards, those stout columns that stop people

389
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: from driving vehicles up on sidewalks.

390
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 2: Washington, DC is full of them.

391
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

392
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 5: We were riding those scooters around to go everywhere last week.

393
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 5: But you have to weave in and out of those

394
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 5: things because they're in a building in at least the

395
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 5: touristy part of Washington, DC that doesn't have those on

396
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 5: every sidewalk.

397
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Right, But a twenty seventeen report by the City of

398
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans identify Bourbon Street as a potential terrorism target,

399
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: citing FBI warning excuse me, and they installed some but

400
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: over an again they've been told you've got to do this,

401
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: and the local and state government really is. The city

402
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: and county that are in charge of it have been terribly,

403
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: terribly slow about it, have ignored the recommendations, have had

404
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: money not spent it. I haven't been that all those

405
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: people got run down. I haven't been to Bourbon Street

406
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 1: in years. One of the great party districts in the world.

407
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 5: But I had two people after that attack say yeah,

408
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 5: the last time I was at Bourbon Street, I.

409
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 3: Thought, wow, they don't have any of those polls here.

410
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I would have noticed that. It's not

411
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 3: the sort of thing that's on my radar.

412
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 5: But two different people said that they had been there

413
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 5: and thought, Wow, they don't have any of those polls here.

414
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: That's tony. I noticed that.

415
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: Either I don't think and it's a damned shame that

416
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: anybody ever does think that.

417
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 2: But we live in the world live well.

418
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 5: Going further down that conversation, as listened to a podcast

419
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 5: about this, and it's clearly true. And whenever you have

420
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 5: these conversations you get accused of giving terrorists ideas. But

421
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 5: I have a feeling there pretty good at it on

422
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 5: their own. If you're gonna start using cars as weapons, man.

423
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 3: No, there's no stop in that.

424
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 5: You could have a coordinated drive through school parking lots,

425
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 5: attack in twenty different cities this afternoon if you wanted to,

426
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 5: and there's nothing there's no way you could ever stop.

427
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 5: All the things are every local parade or fair or

428
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 5: wedding or I mean just there are endless gathered crowds.

429
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: Is my point.

430
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 5: That you could drive a car through anytime. There's no

431
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 5: stop in that. What stops it is, thank god, hardly

432
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 5: anybody is murderous.

433
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: Thank god, right, it's murderous intent.

434
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: That's what changed in society, not guns, although there are

435
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot of guns. But I got

436
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: this note from Todd that I enjoyed. I think you

437
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: will too.

438
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: Guys.

439
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right that the choice of vehicle for the

440
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: New Orleans terrorist attack was not random.

441
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: That's weird. The FBI said immediately after you attack. This

442
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 2: is not a terrace and intent incident. Oh on.

443
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: Anyway, the use of the vehicle is not random. It

444
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: was indeed no ordinary truck. It was a four to

445
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: f one to fifty lightning, a fully automatic electric assault

446
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: truck that delivers twice the kinetic force of an ordinary

447
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: civilian truck. It has as much mass and makes as

448
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: much power as military trucks designed for the battlefield. In

449
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: states like Texas, you can rent these trucks without any

450
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of background check or waiting period, just like the

451
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: terrorists did. I was surprised, said witness Dan mcpee. I

452
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 1: was surprised that vehicle was able to get as far

453
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: as it did. That's because he's thinking of ordinary vehicles,

454
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: not military grade assault trucks. Until we have common sense

455
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: truck control, until we prioritize people's safety instead of appeasing

456
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: the powerful truck lobby. We can expect more such deadly attacks, right,

457
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: I think, good sir.

458
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 3: I get the parody there.

459
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 5: It is something that these electric vehicles, like my Sedan

460
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 5: weighs as much as a big suv and has a

461
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 5: thousand horsepower. I mean, if you're gonna want to ram

462
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 5: a crowd from a short distance, that's a vehicle for it.

463
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 5: He made the right choice.

464
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: A couple other follow ups via email.

465
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: Polly went to the French laundry not long ago, and

466
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: the server came up and said, hey, there's a twenty

467
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: percent service charge already, so the tip is taken care of.

468
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: Because I had this discussion. I was at the Gordon

469
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: Ramsay restaurant in Washington, d C. It had the twenty

470
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: percent charge on there, and I asked the question, do

471
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: you tip on not I've gotten I've spent a fair

472
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: amount of time googling this. There is no agreement on

473
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: this whatsoever among people who work at restaurants. Don't work

474
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: at restaurants. People that are regular goers to nice restaurants. Now,

475
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: by law, if it says we've added to twenty percent gratuity,

476
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 1: they have to share that with the people. But if

477
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: it just says twenty percent service charge, I might just

478
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: go to the restaurant in some cases, and you got

479
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: a tip on top of that. Obviously, if that's going

480
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: to the restaurant and I tipped twenty percent on top

481
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: of it, you've added forty percent to my meal.

482
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: And I ain't eating here under any circumstances.

483
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: I don't care how big your food is, right unless

484
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: you're going to serve me a stake for eleven dollars

485
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: and go ahead and heep another forty percent on top

486
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: of that. But that is not happening right. On another topic,

487
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: the jack you were railing yesterday about Biden on a

488
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: week's notice giving the entire federal workforce Thursday off to

489
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: more in the passing of Jimmy Carter, who's God bless him,

490
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: been in Heavens waiting room for now several years.

491
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 5: I know he can't explain anything at this point, but

492
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 5: a younger Joe Biden explain to me why federal workers

493
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 5: get the day off and taxpayers go to work to

494
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 5: honor Jimmy Carter.

495
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: I mean, what's the theory behind that?

496
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

497
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: Two notes on that. Number One Kevin from Plasterville with

498
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: a great point. Hey, big freedom is simple, Jack. You

499
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: discussed Biden's right. My issue with it isn't the cost

500
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: is we will be paying for those workers, whether they're

501
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: at work or not. No, my issues My issue is

502
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: with what this action reveals about what those workers were

503
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: doing such that a pop up holity like this even

504
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: makes sense or is even possible. Imagine your local mom

505
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: and pop small business learning all their workers would be

506
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: out sick one day next week.

507
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 3: No way. Yeah, let be a.

508
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: Major financial hardship. Losing even one day's revenue in a

509
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: month could put them under Even for a larger business,

510
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: it would be an issue. Imagine the CEO of home

511
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: Depot announced they'll be closed next Thursday. Bet the CEO

512
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: is fired by the board before the end of the

513
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: day Friday. You see the point, and you won't be

514
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: able to make any You won't be able to see

515
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: any difference in all in what the federal government accomplishes.

516
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: Isn't that revealing? Doge can't come soon enough?

517
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 5: I got a Jimmy Carter nugget. I will park the

518
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 5: car and get back to here in a little bit.

519
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: Stop saying that, and then Rich in Groton, Connecticut says,

520
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: can you let Jack know that if he wants to

521
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: take Thursday off for morning the president, and he has

522
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: my permission last time I checked, you guys aren't hourly

523
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: and you're not going to get docked if you miss

524
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: Thursday from the radio ranch.

525
00:25:59,080 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 2: True.

526
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: Then he says, meanwhile, I'm going to let some members

527
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: of my crew off. But seeing how I work in

528
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: a field in which we rotate a third of the

529
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: crew to be on watch twenty four seven three sixty five,

530
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: I can only do so much. He is in a

531
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: military type profession. Then he says, and I don't this

532
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: is okay. I agree with you guys. The federal government's

533
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: too bloated. People get away with essentially doing nothing. When

534
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: you go on your rants about all the time off

535
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: we get. The military hears you. And for me, I'm

536
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: listening to two guys complaining about how cold or hot

537
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: it is in the studio hidden behind the veneer of

538
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: a microphone and ragging about how much time I get off.

539
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: I'll remember that next time I'm deployed over Christmas, or

540
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: I have to help my buddy because he just missed

541
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: the birth of his child overseas.

542
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 5: I don't think when we talk about federal employees working,

543
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 5: we're talking about the military.

544
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 3: That's not what's in my mind.

545
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, Rich, somebody sitting at a desk who's doing nothing

546
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 5: of any good whatsoever.

547
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rich, I will tell you this, my friend.

548
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: First of all, you're right, I mean in what you're saying,

549
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: certainly saying about the military. But if you think when

550
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: we rail against government workers we're talking about active duty military,

551
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: you don't know us very well.

552
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 3: That's not what anybody's talking about when they talk about.

553
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: Go No, Rich, come on, buddy.

554
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: And then I went to the trouble of looking it

555
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: up when you include state and county governments, and there

556
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: are twenty four million government workers in the United States,

557
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: twenty four million. There are one point three million active

558
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: duty military.

559
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 2: When we say.

560
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: Government workers, we're not talking about freaking active duty military.

561
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: Obviously, that is a category all its own.

562
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: And I will take off my glove and slap you

563
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: on both sides of your face for daring.

564
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 2: To suggest otherwise. I agree with you, But come on,

565
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 2: that's just hurtful, dude.

566
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 5: So I'm not a hater of Jimmy Carter. I didn't

567
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 5: like his policies, but seemed like a nice.

568
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: Guy, incredibly misguided, and he really interfered with American foreign

569
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: policy post office. Someday I'll bore you with the details,

570
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: but it was way out of line, way way.

571
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 2: Way out of line.

572
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 5: Really a low point for our country though that period,

573
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 5: having I would live through it as a child, just

574
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 5: so much about it. So you had Nixon and Watergate,

575
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 5: so that was, you know, obviously rough to find out

576
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 5: your president could do that sort of stuff. And then

577
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 5: whatever was going on in the nation that Jimmy Carter

578
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 5: kind of symbolized.

579
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: It was the beginning of men being wooses.

580
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 5: Became very popular for like your actors, singers to be

581
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 5: very woosy, androgynous, feminine types. And if you're not old enough,

582
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 5: you don't know that this is when it really started.

583
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: And traditional masculinity was shamed, which is the other side that.

584
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: Called singers actors. That sort of stuff got very feminine.

585
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 5: There's so much like soft rock that was like the

586
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 5: limpest must There's no way you could possibly ever get

587
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 5: an erection listen to those songs.

588
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: I mean, it was just it just sucked the man.

589
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: Listening to.

590
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 3: Their own our our our cars were awful.

591
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 5: I mean, just horrible pieces of crap, starting like in

592
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 5: the late seventies, and then Jimmy Carter gave his famous

593
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 5: Malaise speech they call it, even though he never used

594
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 5: the word malaise, but the country was in a malays

595
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 5: and he's he sat there and talked about turning your

596
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 5: thermostat up and sitting in a cold house in the

597
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 5: in the winter, in a hot house in the summer,

598
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 5: and pay Laura bills. And the actual term that he

599
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 5: used was the age of limits and how we all

600
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 5: need to have more limits on the various things that

601
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 5: we do. But it was really a hey, the good

602
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 5: times are over, you have we all have to live

603
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 5: kind of sad lives from here on out speech. Actually

604
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 5: watched the speech the day after he died, UH to

605
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 5: revisit it and just how how did we get that

606
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 5: far off track? Just in just in kind of just

607
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 5: we lost our mojo as a country. Oh yeah, did

608
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 5: that happen again under Biden? Is one of my questions,

609
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 5: UH might have.

610
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: Was heading in that direction, I would agree, I mean,

611
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: in the wake of Vietnam and then Watergate and race

612
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 1: riots and assassinations and crappy economy, the Arab boil and bargo,

613
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: the gas crisis, rampant inflation. We were down and out.

614
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: We were, you.

615
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: Know, we were sleeping outside the bus station, living rough

616
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: as a country.

617
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 5: I had one of the museums in DC, at the Smithsonian,

618
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 5: they had a picture of Carter with the fifty five

619
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 5: mile an hour sign. Harry was smiling the age of limits.

620
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 5: We're only going to drive fifty five miles an hour

621
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 5: on interstates. And they had one of the old speedometers

622
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 5: from cars back then. The speedometers back then only went

623
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 5: up to eighty five to try and encourage you to

624
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 5: drive slower.

625
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: I mean, just one federal mandated woosey ah. I hate

626
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: that whole thing.

627
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: Well, and again, Carter's leadership style, which Jack can attest

628
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: to having watched the speech, was yes, things are crappy,

629

650
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 5: men well apparently are single, talking about how much they

651
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 5: like the chat GPT female relationships in completely sincere tones.

652
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 5: I mean then this person was blown away, like they

658
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 5: and uh who were super into the chat GPT. Oh

Speaker 5: the voice is so soothing and you know they're always

660
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 5: there for me and we have conversations and and uh

Speaker 3: In in in.

669
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,040

00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 5: would latch onto.

671
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,680

678
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: not in twenty years, but in like a hundred years,

679
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: don't look at who's got bombs, look at who's making babies,

680
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: oh untos. People will run the world in terms of

681
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: the culture, well right, and just running the world. That's

682
