WEBVTT - The Gulf Of Armstrong & Getty 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:06.280 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:07.760 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:10.400 Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty. 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:17.360 Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.320 We need greenland for national security purposes. 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:28.280 You look outside. 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:32.280 You have China ships all over the place. You have 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.000 Russian ships all over the place. 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:35.880 We're not letting that happen. 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.920 You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.080 take a look at what that looks like, and it 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.760 would also be much better for national security. We're spending 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.239 hundreds of billions a year to take care of Canada. 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.440 We lose in trade deficits. 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:54.000 We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:58.480 of Mexico to trump the Gulf of America. Mexico has 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.680 to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country. 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.560 Yeah, Gulf of America, Which, why why didn't we do 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.960 this a long time ago? That's the only thing I 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.319 thought when he said, Yeah, obviously we should call it 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:11.399 the Gulf of America. 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:15.480 We're going to plate the Bahamas in gold, gold plated islands. 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.440 There'll be a mini People are saying they'll be the 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:22.640 most beautiful islands. So just to summarize, we're annexing Greenland 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.240 and Canada and renaming the Gulf of Mexico. 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:26.520 And I'm in favor of all three. 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.360 So I heard a Greenland politician on NPR today talking about, Yeah, 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.080 we got Chinese ships right after our shore. They're surveilling, 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.280 it's on a daily basis, and he was all for 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.800 some sort of falling under the umbrella of the United States. 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:39.320 It's absolutely necessary. 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.280 We've talked about it a couple of times today, including 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.400 it length I think during our one. But yeah, Greenland 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.640 and the Arctic in general is going to be of 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:51.120 enormous I mean, you can't even comprehend how enormous strategic 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.440 significance in the next fifty years. And yeah, what is 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.840 Denmark going to defend the free trade around the world. 0:01:58.280 --> 0:01:59.880 No, we are, And so we've. 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.960 Got to reevaluate our relationship with Greenland in what form 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:03.360 that takes. 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.120 Who knows the deal with Grenmark. 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.240 Denmark is fairly recent, that's what this politician was talking 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.240 about on NPR. I didn't know about that, I think 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.280 fifty six or something like that. The hell did Denmark 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:15.200 end up Greenland? 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.680 Yeah, and we'd looked at buying it or something to 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.480 that effect a couple of times and it just didn't 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.480 go through. But it's not that crazy. I mean, it's 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.160 fifty six thousand people. It's an enormous mass of land 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:32.000 and frozen fresh water, mostly of again, an incredible strategic importance, 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.120 and it's not like we're gonna run rough shot in 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.120 there and burn it like Sherman on his way to 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:37.480 Atlanta or anything like that. 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.120 The c ATV Park, it'd be awesome. 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.359 Call Lord anyway. So more on that to come, I'm 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.639 sure in the days ahead. But as usual Trump he 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.800 left it vague enough. It sounded kind of loopy, but 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.600 when you dig into the details, pretty great. Canada is 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.880 not going to become part of the United States. He's 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.359 just dicking with them. Pardon me, he's trolling them as 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.680 part of going into trade negotiations. 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.080 The Gulf of America, though, you got me a hundred. 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:03.840 What the hell is it? 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.160 The Gulf of Mexico. Please, we surrounded as much as 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.440 they do. If there's oil drilling, we're doing it. 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:11.600 Maybe you're not fair of that. 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.120 But if something goes wrong in the Gulf of Mexico, 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.920 if there's a natural disaster, a hurricane, an oil spell, whatever, 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.960 who cleans it up? The car tells no, the United 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:22.920 States government. 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.560 As we said yesterday, when you change the name of 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.520 something like that, who do you call the map people? 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.440 Or I mean, what is the system for that? 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.440 Well? And what does that mean exactly? 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.200 I mean I could call it Jimmy the Golf or 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.200 the Gulf of Armstrong and Getty. 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:41.960 Or what significance does that have? 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:42.640 I don't know. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:50.000 Yeah, okay, anyway, So I don't like I'm against cynicism 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:54.320 in general, because often it is laziness. It's the I 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:58.720 reject everything. I'm smarter than everyone. Everything everybody says is stupid. 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:03.800 I mean, that's like adolescent intellectual laziness. Yeah, I'm skeptical. 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:04.800 You got to be a realist. 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.040 Yeah, but that was you portrayed that as like an 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:08.560 overall life philosophy. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.000 Obviously that would be bad. 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:14.560 I'm pretty I'm pretty cynical about government. I mean, I'm 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:21.080 past skeptical into My assumption is you're bad in a thief. 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.799 You're already in Greenland ahead of the hundred and first 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:25.799 airborne jack. 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.200 That's exactly what I was going. 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.200 To point out, and the oh my god, I gave 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.279 up the classified plans they briefed me. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.480 I swore I wouldn't say anything. So I'm so sorry. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.680 So got everyone. Ranger is going to land in Greenland. Say, 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.080 and now, what am I supposed to do? 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:39.560 There's nobody. 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.040 Oh yeah, they're sailing right now. Oh no, I did 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:46.160 it again. Oh I'm so sorry to fight. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:47.000 There's nobody here. 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.480 One of the most telling, devastating, sickening parts of Mark 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:57.240 Leivivich's brilliant book This Town. We've talked about this more 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.560 than once, but when uh, he is talking to a 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:07.800 couple of political consultants, avvyweight political guys, like campaign director 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.200 type guys, as they're gonna do an appearance on a 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.560 talk show and jaw with each other, argue with each 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.200 other and call each other names and the rest of it. 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.719 And they're good buddies. They're laughing and yucking it up 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.040 in the green room. Then they're going to go off 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.080 to the cocktail parties and the private schools and the 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.640 you know, rich parts of DC Metro that they all 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.279 live in. And one of them says, and this is 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.280 the classic definition of a gaff. 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.599 He says, accidentally says the truth out loud. 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.440 He says something the effect of somebody's not in on 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.960 the joke or they don't get the joke, and Leibovich 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.000 has to try a couple of times to get them 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.440 to admit what the joke is. And finally the guy says, 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.200 the joke is that we're patriots. 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.080 Okay, that is disturbing. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.240 That ought to disturb you. If it doesn't, well again, 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.800 you're already there. And I congratulate you for your realism 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.479 and so on. Of my missions. So one of my 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:07.240 mini jihads is to help people understand that while morality 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.279 and decency and patriotism and all those things are really 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.360 important and I'm not cynical about them at. 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:18.080 All, you've got to be aware that. 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:24.200 Evil, cynical people use moral arguments because they know you 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.520 are a moral person, and they use those to win 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.040 the day and then do evil things. And you've got 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:35.040 to be aware of when people are doing that. It's 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.359 like the old saying, and it's been used about Islam 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.400 around the world. When and you know, to paraphrase it, 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.279 when we're in the minority, we will shout about free 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.080 expression because we don't have the power. When we have 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:52.640 the power, because that's your principles. When we have the power, 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.640 we're gonna suppress free expression because that's our principles. You've 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.560 just got to understand that as people are hitting you 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:05.239 with arguments. For instance, Haakim Jeffries, very very bright guys, 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.560 the minority leader of the Senate of the House. Now 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:11.360 he took over from Nancy Pelosi, Liberal from New York. 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:17.080 But he was speaking on the House floor after the 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.000 election of Mike Johnson as a speaker a couple of 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:22.600 days ago, and he said, and I quote two months ago, 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.400 the American people elected Donald Trump as the forty seventh 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.320 President of the United States of America. And then they 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.160 the Republicans, clapped. He said, thank you for that very 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:32.960 generous applause, which is kind of funny. 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.200 Says, it's okay. There are no election deniers on our 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.040 side of the aisle. You see. 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.400 One should love America. One should love America when you 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.760 win and when you lose. That's the patriotic thing to do. 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.880 And that's the America that House Democrats will fight hard 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.120 to preserve because we love this country. 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:51.920 That sounds good. 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:57.240 I agree with every word he said. And it's such 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:02.080 an interesting to me moral dilemma, undrum, thought provoking situation. 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.400 When you've got a gun drawn on a serial killer 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:12.720 who's about to attack somebody, and he says, whoa murder 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:18.200 is wrong? He's right, but you probably ought to shoot him. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.520 Well, I don't know where are you going with this, 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:20.920 with the. 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:26.720 Well, you've got somebody completely immoral expressing a moral argument 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.840 that you agree with in order to get ahead. And 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.960 what do you do? What do I do? Since I 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.679 agree with every word Hakim Jeffrey said, but I know 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.960 what a hypocrite he is to wit March twenty two 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:42.400 to twenty seventeen, and I quote these happened to be tweets. 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.640 With legitimacy of Trump's presidential election in doubt, his lifetime 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:50.240 appointment of the Supreme Court can wait. Hashtag filibuster Gorsicic 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.559 stop gorsicch Febs sixteen, twenty eighteen. The more we learn 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.640 about the twenty sixteen election, the more illegitimate it becomes. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.480 America deserves to know whether we have a fake president 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.880 in the Oval office. Hashtag Russian interference September twenty eighth, 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.160 twenty eighteen lie more than any administration in the history 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:12.240 of the public Cheat twenty sixteen election. Russian interference steal 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.439 one or two Supreme Court seats. When will Republicans put 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.400 country ahead of party? August thirteen, twenty twenty, It's now 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.199 clear the effort to destroy the Post office is part 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.640 of a continuing conspiracy to steal the election for the 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.520 most corrupt administration in American history. Remember that the entire 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:34.000 crime family must be held accountable. And November twenty twenty, 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.920 history will never accept you as a legitimate president. Twenty fourteen. 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:39.280 I'm sorry, say. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.200 Funny twist on that if I could go back in time, 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:42.160 he wins again. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:44.800 Yeah. 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:49.079 September of twenty one, Republicans hijacked the judiciary by stealing 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.400 two Supreme Court seats, and now they want us to 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.520 respect illegitimate decisions from these people. October of twenty two, 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.000 right wing extremists are publicly plotting to steal the next 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:00.240 presidential election. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.800 And on and on. 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:08.160 He is an election denier extraordinay, he's one of the 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.760 kings of it, making the moral argument to us that 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:16.160 how dare you You should never ever do that. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.880 You can't be cynical enough about these people. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:21.720 No you can't, No, you can't. 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:26.680 And I took in a fair amount of information about 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.000 the founding and the Constitution and stuff over the break, 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.080 and I was having those thoughts. I mean, were they 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:40.559 just a better class of people than us. Did our 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.480 culture decay to an extent where we can't have people 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.680 that actually care more about the country than their party. 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.000 Politicians have always been politicians. 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:51.600 I don't know. 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.840 I mean, and the podcast I was listening to, for instance, 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.560 one example of how quickly things can turn. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.040 I mean, we had the Bill of Rights and. 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.480 Free speech being number one, and it was just a 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:08.160 couple of years later that the sitting president in Congress passed. 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.120 The law outlawing saying anything bad about the. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.160 Country, right, it was the Alien and Sedition Acts. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.160 One of the worst things that's ever passed in the 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.120 country was the Founding Generation themselves. 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.800 Yeah, so, I don't know. Maybe that's just the state 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.360 of humanity. It's the seduction of power. It's power makes 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.960 you do perverse things. I think part of the answer. 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.800 To your question, and that was the exception, but I 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.960 still think part of the answer is they were so 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.439 close to overcoming the crisis of oppression by Britain and 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.319 fighting for freedom than the articles of the Confederation falling apart. 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:49.599 Anybody who was like openly power hungry and damaging the country. 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.760 I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes from Lincoln 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.760 and one of the great Supreme Court justices said, Look, 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.280 if the Constitution doesn't live in the hearts of the people, 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.959 there's no army, there's no laws, there's nothing that can 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.720 save it. And if it does live in the hearts 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.439 of the people, there's nothing that can end it. And 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.280 we're at a point now where, especially in our political class, 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.520 we are so rich and so comfortable, and there's so 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.720 much power and money at stake, and we're so safe 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.160 that that impulsive you dare not threaten the health of 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.680 this country is given away to the opposite. Nobody cares 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.839 about the health of the country. We're great, will always 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:25.280 be great. 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.400 Grab what you can, right, there's going to be a 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.800 lot of money passed through my hands or my area. 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:32.839 I'm gonna get mine. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.880 Like the Biden family, they got rich, got their twenty 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.160 four LLC's going laundered, the money got away. What the 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:40.800 hell the guy got elected to the White House? 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:41.600 I am too. 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.160 If you have any thoughts on that, because I wonder 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.480 about that all the time. Is that just a different 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.480 breed of people, or has it always been this way 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.280 tax line four one KFTC. 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.000 A nutrition study analyzed the health benefits of various ultra 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.080 processed foods and drinks, and scientists have revealed that you 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.760 lose twelve minutes of your life every time you drink 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.120 a coke. What explains why Coca cola chants are slogan 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.120 from taste the feeling to get your affairs in order? 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.199 Wow, twelve minutes per coke, So four of them and 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:19.560 I've lost to you an hour. 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.600 Practically, I guess I. 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.000 Have five minutes per cigarettes. 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.960 So if I wash down my cancer stick with a coke, Wow, 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:28.040 that's rough. 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.360 I am trying to cut back on the ultra process 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.720 anything that comes in a plastic bag I am. I'm 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.040 making a definite effort to have lessen. Hey, Katie, I 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:37.640 need you to do something because it's going to factor 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.640 into the end of this little conversation. Will you get 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.000 the Google definition or the Dictionary definition of neurotic for me? 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.040 Because I think that's what I am. 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.200 I don't know if I'm neurotic or a missingthroat more 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.440 one of the two anyway, So I was gonna mention 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.440 this this is all leading to that didn't watch the 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.959 Golden Globes the other night, but one of the biggest 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.200 winners was the movie The Brutalist, which I don't even 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.520 know if I'd ever heard of, but I won a 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:01.920 whole bunch of dang awards. 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.240 Do you know about the Rutless or have you seen it? 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.320 Just the headline? Okay, I had exactly the same reaction. 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:11.040 Escaping post war Europe, a visionary architect comes to America 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.319 to rebuild his life, his career, and his marriage on 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.800 his own in a strange new country. He settles in Pennsylvania, 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.720 where a wealthy and prominent industrialist recognizes his talent. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.200 It's all in the execution, right. 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.760 So welcome to our country. Yeah, all that sort of stuff. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.920 So it sounds like it is really really good. Denzel 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.480 Washington ended up losing. He set some sort of record 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.800 by being nominated for a certain number of times for 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:36.400 his role in a Gladiator two, which I have seen 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.600 and I saw with my kids. Over the break, Henry 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.360 and I watched the first Gladiator, which I'd forgotten how 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.360 great it is, and it is now in my top 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.800 certainly my top five all time movies. What an amazing 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:52.560 movie that is. But Gladiator two not as good in 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.400 a whole bunch of different ways. Denzel Washington was fantastic. 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.560 The really great actors they like stand out against the 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.800 other pe and I don't even know what it is. 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:04.680 I would agree, and it's amazing. 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.680 Particularly that doesn't mean I want to hear their opinion 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.600 about anything other than acting. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.680 Although I would agree with most of what Denzel Washington 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:12.280 has to say. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.480 Yeah, yeah, Well a lot of movie acting is so 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.640 weird because it's just you and the camera and it's 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.440 just you're not reacting to people just anyway. 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:20.920 But it's an art form certainly. 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:25.400 Yeah, But here's what happened going to the theater. Well, 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.440 what's a neurotic? Tell me what a neurotic is. 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.600 Well, you would have something called neurosis, which is a 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.240 mental condition that is not caused by organic disease, involving 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.520 symptoms of stress, depression, or anxiety, but also not a 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.800 radical loss of touch with reality. 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.480 The way I always heard it described in psych class 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.280 was that if you're a psychotic, you do not perceive 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.480 reality as it is. If you're neurotic, you perceive it correctly, 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.640 but you come to the wrong conclusions. 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.040 And I don't think that's what I am I'm a missanthrope. 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.600 I hate all humanity. Maybe that's it. But anyway, so 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.600 for this movie theater, you had to, like I have 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.120 book your seats. 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:05.040 Ahead of time or whatever. 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.120 Okay, fine, we get to the movie theater and there's 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:12.280 nobody there. It's literally empty. We go in, we sit down. 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.080 Shortly before the movie starts. You know where I'm going here, 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.600 three people come in in an empty movie theater and 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:19.760 walk in and sit. 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:20.480 Right in front of us. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:22.320 Oh my lord. 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:27.960 So I wanted to ask the guy if we could 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.800 go outside, not to fight him, but to interview him, 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.160 because I want to know more about his life. I 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:34.720 want to know, what do you do for a living? 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.240 Are you married, do you pay taxes? What other views 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.320 do you have that makes you so freaking insane that 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.840 in an empty movie theater you would sit right in 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.600 front of the only people in there. 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.000 Right, Yeah, I'm the same. First, I would be just 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.680 insane with annoyance. Then I would think I want to 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:52.640 know more. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:59.760 Right, just what the hell goes on in your mind 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:01.400 that you did that? 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:05.680 And it makes me crazy. 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.360 I mean, it makes me more crazy that he exists 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.240 and wondering about him than the fact he was sitting 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:10.879 right in front of me. 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.240 I'll send spitballs in the back of the neck Cake 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:14.399 Cure and Getty. 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.400 The technology is head turning, allowing your car to come 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.600 to you from anywhere in the parking lot through Tesla's 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.920 phone app and the touch of a button. 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.120 No driver inside. But the National Highway Traffic. 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.800 Safety Administration is raising concerns about the actually smart sum 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.159 in feature in an estimated two and a half million Teslas, 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.280 saying it is launching a probe over reported problems of 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.320 failing to detect posts or parked vehicles resulting in a 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.760 crash and the operator not having enough time to react. 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.199 Well, that would suck if I press the button for 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.439 my Tesla to come to me and it backs into somebody. 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:54.480 Now that has changed my afternoon. First of all, they're 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.160 what do you say, two million Teslas in the whole country. 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:01.320 That's a tiny number at that being the most popular 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:05.040 electric car out there. The new software update on the 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:09.960 self driving really good, smoother than it's ever been. But 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.000 somehow I got it on an old lady setting. Today 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.560 it's coming to work. It's like, how slow were we 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:15.919 gonna go? 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:16.320 How much? 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.800 How many car links do we need? To leave here 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.000 the old lady I got to change it. Or it 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:24.240 was a student driver with the teacher with them, that's 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:25.320 what it was driving. 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.080 Like currently taking driving tech. 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.359 I need to set up for aggressive man on the 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.240 way to work, That's what it needs to be said up. 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.000 Well, it's a grudge against humidity exactly. 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.159 The car thing reminded me a term I heard yesterday. 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.840 You're gonna want to know this, you know how put 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.840 a pin in It has been big for a while. 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.600 If you're in your boardroom setting or whatever, you got 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.120 to talk the lingo. We're going to park the car 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.840 on that and come back to it later. I guess 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.160 that's a thing now park in the too many metaphors, 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.679 no longer putting a pennant. We're going to park that car. 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:56.440 We'll come back to it. So if you want to, 0:18:58.040 --> 0:18:58.840 I know, I don't want to. 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.880 I don't want to be in the meeting. I didn't 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:02.520 want any of it. 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:05.919 Hey, speaking of cars, though, I wanted to get this 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.959 on and this is getting no attention. I'm glad CBS 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:13.600 News touched on it. But the FBI, who has currently 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:18.359 covered itself in glory and others, had been telling the 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.960 City of New Orleans for years. You have got to 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:27.760 put up the ballards, those stout columns that stop people 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.159 from driving vehicles up on sidewalks. 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:32.439 Washington, DC is full of them. 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:34.040 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.920 We were riding those scooters around to go everywhere last week. 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:38.800 But you have to weave in and out of those 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.359 things because they're in a building in at least the 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:44.879 touristy part of Washington, DC that doesn't have those on 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:46.080 every sidewalk. 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.760 Right, But a twenty seventeen report by the City of 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:54.040 New Orleans identify Bourbon Street as a potential terrorism target, 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:59.480 citing FBI warning excuse me, and they installed some but 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.320 over an again they've been told you've got to do this, 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.240
