Was 11 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: just reading about that where the stock market was took 12 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: quite a dump yesterday and might be an indication of 13 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: something huge. Who knows, Michael, where's our sound? Where's our 14 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: stock market sound? Remember Michael's very very busy. Yeah. So 15 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: our old producer Scott decided to no, no, no, no, no. Sean, 16 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: our old producer Sean decided he needed to get really 17 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: educated about the stock market, and he did, which was 18 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: an admirable He just likes a grown man. He decided, 19 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: here's something I'm going to get really interested in it, 20 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: and he did a lot of studying and everything like that, 21 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: but he pointed out, and I'd never noticed it before, 22 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: but once he pointed it out, I have never been 23 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: able to stop thinking about it. In that all your 24 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: economic report reporting says as, they don't say because they 25 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: just say as, So my first is appropriate, yeah, because 26 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: they don't have any idea what they're talking about, their guessing. 27 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: So my first as I had yesterday that I saw 28 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: was a stock market, big giant drop yesterday by the 29 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: nip by the nip, as uh investors realize AI ain't 30 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: going to turn out to be what they thought it was, 31 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: and I thought, oh, okay, it's the AI bubble crashing. 32 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: So that was just in my head. Then this morning 33 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: I saw stock market dropped a lot yesterday as the 34 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: FED announced they may not lower interest rates. No, that's it, okay, 35 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: when they said they were going to drag it the 36 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: mono cause I can't, So they don't have the this 37 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: happened because they can't say it is because of this, 38 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: because nobody knows. It's way too complex, so they always 39 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: throw it an ass. And then it kind of goes 40 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: into your head as because sure and once you catch causation, 41 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: et cetera. Yeah, once you catch on to that, you 42 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: notice they do it all the time, and they're just guessing. 43 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: They're absolutely guessing. Obviously, those are two very different stories, 44 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: whether AI is not all cracked what it's cracked up 45 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: to be, or the whole interest rate thing. But man, 46 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've studied the stock exchange, but 47 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: there are lots of different stocks and they respond to 48 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: different things at different times. So yeah, it's it's much 49 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: more complex and subtle than added ainstream media would have it. 50 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: Added in with the fact that it's mostly computers trading 51 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: now gazillions of decisions per half a second and reacting 52 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: to each other and everything like that, and it's really 53 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: hard to figure out what's going on. But in video, 54 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: the big AI chip maker has had quite a drop 55 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: from their high. Yeah, and who knows if that will 56 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 1: bounce back or not. And the whole is AI, the 57 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: AI thing gonna bul If that bubble breaks, there won't 58 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: be an ass as this happens or as that It'll 59 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: all be holy crap, the world has changed quite a 60 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: bit because the stock market is built on AI right now, 61 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: right there it is, there's our stock market sounds that's 62 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: the one I was looking for Ah, well, bubble, was 63 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: that a bubble? I think people are starting to reckon 64 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: with the spectacular obligations or commitments. I should say that 65 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: the various tech companies are making towards spending incomprehensible amounts 66 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: of money more and more each year over the next 67 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: several years, and people are starting to think, you know, 68 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: I make a lot of money on this stock already, 69 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: and that sounds crazy. It might be like crazy great, 70 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: but it's definitely crazy. So I think I'll unload these stocks. 71 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: The Trump administration huge push the last couple of days 72 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: to make it sound like they're super concerned about affordability. 73 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 1: I since everybody's decided that's the topic for the voting 74 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: populace is affordability. And JD. Vance's out giving speecheses yes 75 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: day and everything like that. And so I was just 76 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: reading a newsletter that was including a bunch of regular 77 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: people talking about how much more things cost and comparing 78 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: their grocery bill now to five years ago and all 79 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. But the one thing a couple 80 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: mentioned that they said they can't that really makes the difference. 81 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: That was interesting, like one person saying, Okay, we make 82 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: up for the groceries, like we've quit going to Starbucks, 83 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: and we canceled one of our streaming subscriptions, and you know, 84 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 1: kind of evens out. But the thing that is killing 85 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: them is homeowner's insurance going up. Car insurance going up 86 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: as much as it has. And that is true, man, 87 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: that is a chunk of money. Oh yeah, whoah, many 88 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: many times, well maybe not many times, but a hell 89 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: of a lot more than the rate of inflation, especially 90 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: over the last five years. Yeah, skyrocketing. And then add 91 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: to that medical costs, none of which are you know, 92 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,559 Speaker 1: your two be subscription whatever that is. It keeps jumping 93 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: up on my TV trying to get me to subscribe. 94 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: Those are obligations. You legally can't not have a couple 95 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: of those, Yeah, exactly. You can cut back, you can 96 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: change a way by groceries, you can eat different things, whatever, 97 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: But if you got to drive a car, your car 98 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: insurance going way up. Yeah, is a lot. And how 99 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: come I haven't heard any politicians bring that up. I 100 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: constantly hear about the price of eggs, but not the 101 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: price of insuring my twenty fifteen Honda Accord that is 102 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: tripled or whatever it has as in the last several years. Yeah, yeah, 103 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: I tell you what. I get tired and discouraged even 104 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: thinking about this because the insurance industry is a lot 105 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: like the medical field, as described by Stephen Brill in 106 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: his brilliant book Bitter Pill, which came out. Gosh, I 107 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: was at least a decade ago, now, wasn't it. Maybe 108 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: even more I think more than yeah. But he said, 109 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: the government is not involved where it's bitterly needed, and 110 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: is overly involved where it shouldn't be. If I had 111 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: to go back in time to when I was, you know, 112 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: we were early in our careers and I didn't make 113 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: that much money, my biggest the thing that would be 114 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: hardest to adjust to would be the insurance thing. And 115 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: I have to drive a completely different vehicle than I 116 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: drove at the time. You have to go older and 117 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: cheaper and less insurance to be able to afford it. Man, 118 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: that's a problem. I don't know what's going to be 119 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: done about that. The whole affordability thing, when you package 120 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: the whole all of it together, that's something. This is, 121 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: this is going to be the topic of the next 122 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: year leading up to the election, and both parties battling 123 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: to at least look like they're the party that cares 124 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: about it, right right, Well, and Trump with his misstep. 125 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: I keep hearing the quote from Laura Ingram. The only 126 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: time the mainstream media ever pays attention to Fox News 127 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: is when you know something bad happens for Republicans. But 128 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: when Trump's told the Laura that, no, that affordable ability 129 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: thing is a Democrat con job, everything's great. I'm just 130 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: not getting credit for it. Oh was that a misstep? Yeah, yeah, 131 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: I think that's why they've been out the last couple 132 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: of days. I don't know if I'm buying this new 133 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: argument that rents and housing prices are high because of 134 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: illegal immigration and Joe Biden letting all the illegals in. 135 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: That's what j D. Bance rolled out yesterday. Oh no, 136 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: it's not a non factor, but it's not the factor. 137 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: It's a good one though, if you want to completely 138 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: blame a different administration for something, though, all your rent 139 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: is too damn. I agree with you, sir, and and 140 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: point to something that you know your base is with 141 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: four square on right. But I've done something about clearly. Yeah, yeah, there. 142 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: You can fool some of the people some of the time, 143 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: but when it comes to their budgets, their dollars and cents, 144 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: putting food on their table, and you know, having enough 145 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: money to pay for medicine for their kids. People are 146 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: very realist and have very little patience for for spin. 147 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: I hope this all gets fixed when we go to 148 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: war with Venezuela. I think that's the answer to all 149 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: our problems. Freaking get into a war footing, give Venezuela 150 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: what they've been asking for. Tired of the way they act. Huh, 151 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: fifty first state Canada, and yet I can't remember fifty first, 152 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: fifty second. Whatever we're at now, we Streeland, we haven't 153 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: forgotten about you. We should start the show officially, because, 154 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: as Taylor Swift says, we're married to the hustle. We're 155 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: here to intorm you.

Here we go at Mark. 160 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 3: The US men yesterday ended production of the Penny after 161 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: two hundred and thirty two years. 162 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: Well, still not the worst thing that ever happened to Lincoln? 163 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: Huh he was murdered. Hey, you guys agree, right?

Goodbye Penny. You'll be missed. Nope, hated 167 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: carrying around my whole life and you're really worthless now, 168 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: So goodbye Penny. Yeah? How long?

No, 181 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: But just as a well, you're saying psychologically that we'll 182 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: just stay it with everything's something ninety OUs, Oh I 183 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: think so? Yeah, okay, and you don't think it'll immediately 184 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: go into our head.

Not for mine? Well, it's about 190 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: market value. I will not comment. Look forward to talking 191 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: about some of the news today, and I actually looking 192 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: forward to seeing what the stock market does. So Verizon 193 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: announced they're going to cut about fifteen thousand jobs. That's 194 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: with a couple other companies that have mention things like that, 195 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: and several last week as we talked about on the air, 196 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: and there were no none of your jobs numbers came 197 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: out over the last month because of the shutdown, which 198 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: I mocked a lot at the beginning of the shutdown, 199 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: right right, but after you know, didn't think the shutdown 200 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: was going to last almost a month and a half. 201 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: So there's a whole bunch of data that hasn't been 202 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: put out in the normal way during a time when 203 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 1: many major companies announced tens of thousands of layoffs, So 204 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: that next number that comes out next month could be 205 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: pretty shocking.

Well, turmoil at 337 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: Britain's premiere broadcaster with President Trump right in the middle. 338 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be 339 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: there with you and we fight. 340 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 3: We fight like hell any did ready, bunch of rassend 341 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 3: he says, excuse me, sir, so mister gendering me right away. 342 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: If you're not a woman, that's obvious. This is a 343 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: police matter. 344 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 3: No, they are not. 345 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: They are men, say optimist. Do you know where I 346 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: can get a coke? I can take you to the 347 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: kitchen if you want to check for a coke there. 348 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that'd be great. 349 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: Go yes, let's do that. This is a very big play. 350 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: Don't you think they have to get a touchdown. Let's 351 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: put it differently, they just got a touch out. I'm 352 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: reading this right like an actual real bull. Don't sleep 353 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: all in the wet sheets, Sleep all in the wet sheets. 354 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: If your name is Jack, don't sleep all the wet sheets. 355 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: It's clips of the week. Gotta say, sleeping on dry 356 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: sheets last night was a was a real treat. Enjoy 357 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: it a lot. I'm sure it was signed the rest 358 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: of humanity generally does signed non crazy people, so as always, 359 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: cow was just dizzying and confusing and tiring in a 360 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: good way. But all that stuff happened this week, including 361 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: that one clip. Anytime any place, punch of fascists in 362 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: the face, you're the young idiot shouting. And I want 363 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: to follow up on that ugly, ugly situation in Berkeley, 364 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: California as the turning point, USA tried to hold a 365 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: very reasonable, intelligent, thoughtful event and I'll describe that in 366 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: a second. But to get into that, I want to 367 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: point this out Hassan Piker, who you've probably never heard of, 368 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: and I hadn't really heard of until several people brought 369 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: up the fact that he was at Mumdonni's rally and 370 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: in a picture with him and other America hating type 371 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: neomarxists and stuff, and he's just come up in the 372 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 1: New again. He was in China. The dog abusing left 373 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: wing edge lord who identifies as swagged out White Boy 374 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: was in China with his sidekick who was like the 375 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: captain of the squash team at a seventy nine thousand 376 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: dollars a year of prep school. Okay, these guys hate 377 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: capitalism and they're preaching Marxi Marxism, typical Marxist actually, But 378 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: the Chinese authorities approached him because he had some meme 379 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: involving Chairman Mao on his phone that he was showing off. 380 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: And these two China loving Marxists coward and fears. The 381 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: Chinese authorities approached them then cut off their feet, and 382 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: Andrew Styles at the Free Beacon mocks them roundly for that. 383 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: But who is this guy who's such a an accepted 384 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: part of the American left now and he's big, I 385 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: guess he's he said on his live stream from China, 386 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: like life, I just don't like I'm not I don't 387 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: have any sort of patriotism in my heart from America. 388 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: And then he watched the ceremonial flag raising near Mao's 389 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: portrait at Tianmin Gate. He marveled at the pride of 390 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: the older Chinese subjects who were and this is a quote, 391 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: fortunate enough to experience a radical transformation in their lifetimes 392 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: unlike any other country. He's talking about Mao's cultural revolution 393 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: the resulted in tens of millions of deaths. Not only that, 394 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: but he said, what was the other thing? Oh? He 395 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: is an addition to loving red China and this authoritarian 396 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 1: speech police Piker is also a toxic ami anti semi 397 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: who's argued landlords should be mass slaughtered until the streets 398 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: soak in their red capitalist blood. He claimed that the 399 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: United States deserved to be attacked on nine to eleven, 400 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: and many other heinous remarks. He's been openly embraced by 401 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: like the pods Save America Pros, which is a huge 402 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: podcast on the left and other mainstream elements of the 403 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: Democratic Party. It is astonishing. And then you go to 404 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: Berkeley the reason I mentioned that event, Also, where's the 405 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 1: left calling that out the way the right has been 406 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: calling out the Nick Puentez Tucker Carlson thing right right, exactly, 407 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: they're nowhere to be seen. In fact, they're embracing this guy. 408 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: But anyway, Andrew Doyle is an author. He's written a 409 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: couple of great books, Free speech and why it matters 410 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: and the New Puritans. And he was at the Turning 411 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: Point USA event in Berkeley the other day, which was 412 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: even uglier than I'd realized because as I'd just seen 413 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: some of the footage that was on the news, and 414 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: he writes, the dark void of ideological thinking has really 415 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: been more evident than in the celebrations following the assassination 416 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk. Even committed leftists were horrified to witness 417 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: the sheer relish expressed online from those who seemed to 418 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: oddly eager to advertise their lack of basic humanity, and 419 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: that ugliness was still evident this week at the University 420 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: of California at Berkeley, Turning Point USA held an event 421 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: on campus in defiance of those who gloated over his 422 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: death on what would have been Charlie's final stop on 423 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: his college tour that was planned and he talks to 424 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: it was Rob Schneider was there, the comedian Peter Bagosian 425 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: great thinker friend of the Armstrong and Getty Show, and 426 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: the Christian apologist Frank Turrek, and they were fielding questions 427 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: from the audience discussing their shared commitment to liberty despite 428 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: their many differences of opinion. It was, as expected, a 429 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: jovial and good natured exchange of ideas. Outside, things were 430 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: not so serene. Protesters had gathered early, threatening attendees and 431 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 1: obstructing them as they tried to enter the building. There 432 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: were pyroateectics being ignited, grass I'm sorry, glass containers being thrown, 433 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,719 Speaker 1: attempts to break through barriers, attendees scattering as a car 434 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: was apparently made to backfire to create the illusion of gunshots. 435 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: Though the speakers inside unanimously emphasized a commitment to nonviolence 436 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: and open dialogue, the mob outside appeared set on menacing 437 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: anyone suspected of being a ticket holder. One woman's necklace 438 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: was snatched, people were bloodied, there were brawls. In a 439 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: video of the incident, you can hear someone gleefully calling out, 440 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: you're bleeding, white boy. Those assembled f you're dead Homeie 441 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: exalting in Kirk's death, and he compares them to the 442 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: Westboro Baptist church that would pick soldier's funerals to go 443 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: their grieving families. And so when you get you know, 444 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: you got this hassan piker guy who's embraced by the 445 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: center ish left and a super popular podcaster. Well, no 446 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: wonder people get the ideas the sick and are proudly 447 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: chanting in the street. Unbelievable. Also, it sounds like the 448 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: news coverage of that nationally was wanting as opposed to 449 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: if it had been some violence of that level trying 450 00:26:53,160 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: to stop some mainstream left thing. Yeah, all three IT 451 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: networks would be doing hour long specials about it. Yeah. Yeah, man, 452 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot of sick thinking on the left. Hey, 453 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: you mentioned the clips of the week and the cavalcade 454 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: of sounds that were on there, and there were a 455 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: lot of things on there. I could comment on all 456 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: of them. I guess I did comment on all of 457 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: them during the week. But the Tesla robot, we posted 458 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: that video at Twitter if you haven't seen it, the 459 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: optimist robot that Elon's rolling out, And that's Elon's new focus, right, 460 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: the robots and all that sort of stuff, as opposed 461 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: to the electric car. Yeah, I mean they gave him 462 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: a trillion dollar incentive package at Tesla to perfect this robot. 463 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: Do you think I'm picturing that like in five years, 464 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: maybe not even that long, it'll be very common for 465 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: everybody to have a robot in their house. Just like 466 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: when the dishwasher showed up or the microwave oven, people 467 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: will spring for that next appliance that is a robot 468 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: that either folds laundry or I don't know what it'll 469 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: be doing exactly. Yeah, I have follow up questions, but 470 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: why don't we deliver a quick word from simply Safe 471 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: home security. When you think of security, you probably think 472 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: of an alarm in a house that reacts after somebody 473 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: smashes your window. That's too little, too late. Simply Safe 474 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: is different. It's the only home security you can actually 475 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: call real security because simply Safe keeps watch outside your 476 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: house and takes action before a criminal breaks in. I 477 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: got to simply save myself. I love the cameras indoor 478 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: and outdoor, and the center's on the doors and the 479 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: windows and all that different sort of stuff. It is 480 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic, and it's not that expensive, about a dollar 481 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: a day. You can set it up yourself. It's simple 482 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: to use, and there are no long term contracts and 483 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: a money back guarantee, So why not try it? And 484 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: here's how it works. Before the break and if someone's 485 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: lurking or doing something they shouldn't be, simply saves live 486 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: agents immediately, let them know they're on camera and if 487 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: they don't believe, the cops will be dispatched. Simply Safe 488 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: is so much better. And right now go to simplysafe 489 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: dot com slash armstrong.

I could send 497 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: purpose robot. Yeah, had to be multi purpose in that. 498 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: But it's funny.

If you're old enough, you remember 501 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: when like the dishwasher showed up, or the microwave or whatever, 502 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: and it became affordable that most people and it was 503 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: an expensive item, but eventually you and all your friends 504 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: had one because it just became something that every family 505 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: wanted to have. Will the robot be like that? But 506 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: at the end of my sentence when I got to 507 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: that that can, I didn't have any real good examples. 508 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: What would it be doing? What would it do that 509 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: would be worth I don't know. I'm picturing it being 510 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars at least at first. It'll yeah, be 511 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: at least that, but as you pointed out, it'll get 512 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: cheaper and cheaper as mass production moves in. Uh wow, 513 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: I don't need it to load my dishwashers. Being of 514 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: the dishwasher, it's not that much trouble. No, neither is 515 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: folding launchy. Although if it did everything, if a loaded 516 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: a dishwasher and folded laundry and picked up around the house, 517 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, we just did a commercial 518 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: for Simply Safe, not to put them out of business, 519 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: but maybe it just, you know, kind of wanders around 520 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: the house at night keeping an eye on things with 521 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: a machine gun and metal teeth. Right. So well, I've 522 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: got to disagree with you, though, And I would love 523 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: folks input, whether if via text or email. Uh, if 524 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: you could dump a load of laundry straight out of 525 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: the dryer into a machine and it would fold everything 526 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: perfectly and neatly, they would sell out. I mean initially 527 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: to the rich, but that would be a popular item. 528 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: I think. I don't know. Maybe it's just because I 529 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: despise you must. I would not buy a five thousand 530 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: dollar robot, or even a two thousand dollars robot, just 531 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: to fold laundry. How about it be enough four hundred 532 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: dollars robot four hundred dollars. Yeah, that they'll never be 533 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: that cheap. It's going to be an expensive item. It 534 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: will have to because it's going to be have to 535 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: be so complex to be So I would like to 536 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: know what the end of Elon sentences. Okay, you've dedicated 537 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: your life to building these robots that can. Maybe he's 538 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: mostly thinking warehouses. It's going to stack stuff, get stuff, 539 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: down load trucks, pick up bales of hay, all kinds 540 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: of different stuff. The assembly line. Sure work the assembly line. 541 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: He's not thinking about it for home use, like I think. 542 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 3: So. 543 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but I think the future is probably, at 544 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: least in the near term, single use. You know, robotic equipment, 545 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: just like it is an industry. Most of those robots 546 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: have one job. But we'll say, if you haven't seen 547 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: the video of them rolling out the Russian version of 548 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: that and it falling off the The best part of 549 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: that to me is the Russian engineers walking behind it 550 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: like with their arms out ready to catch it, because 551 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: they knew it was going to fall over at some point. 552 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: Why did they even do that? Demonstrate that was a 553 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: bagby to post that at Armstrong and Giddy dot com. 554 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: Let's dig that up, guys and put it up on 555 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: their hotline. I like the guy grabbing the curtain and 556 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: he couldn't. They try to pull a curtain so people 557 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: can't see it, but he can't grab the curtain, and 558 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: it was classic Soviet Union nonsense. We've got mail bag 559 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: on the way, stay here, Hartrong. We got this text 560 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: from somebody who says, I have my own turing test 561 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: for robots. As soon as one can rake leaves, put 562 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: them in a pile out by the street for the 563 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: truck to come by. Then I'm in, Yeah. If you 564 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,959 Speaker 1: could add one that could do all those things, rake 565 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: the leaves, put them out, take the trash out, unload 566 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: the dish, all that stuff, that'd be pretty handy. That 567 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: had cut quite a bit of work. Here's your freedom 568 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: loving quota of the day. John Stuart Mill from on 569 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: Freedom continuing the series, neither one person nor any number 570 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: of persons is warranted and saying to another human creature 571 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: of right beers that he shall not do with his 572 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: life for his own benefit what he chooses to do 573 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: with it. Yeah. John Stuart Mill was unfamiliar with the 574 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: modern welfare state, in which you can do whatever you 575 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: want or do nothing at all, and taxpayers will be 576 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: asked to pay for your Nintendo system mailbagoo and your 577 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: useless grievance degree as well drop us note mailbag and 578 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: Armstrong and giddy dot com. Got this from Shock about 579 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: the Government shutdown, among other things, and government employee unions. Guys, 580 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: if the purpose of unions is to extract more money 581 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: from greedy shareholders, then who are the targets of public 582 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: sector unions? A questions seldom asked and never answered. Yeah, 583 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: let's see. Ben in Texas Rights is a longtime listener 584 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: twenty plus years. Thanks Ben. I've disagreed plenty, but this 585 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,959 Speaker 1: might be the first time I've ever been disgusted by 586 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: your take on something. I can't even imagine being one 587 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: of the many Epstein survivors who have publicly come out 588 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: and said there were other rich and powerful abusers who 589 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: have been named in police and FBI reports that for 590 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: some reason, to face zero consequences. We would like that 591 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: to change. Only to hear radio hosts call their please 592 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: domb and a nothing burner. I wouldn't say that's a 593 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: dumb plea at all. I've never said that about that 594 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: particular concern. You don't have to believe Israeli intelligence is 595 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: behind the whole plot to show some empathy for rape 596 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: victims who would just like some justice, do better. Please No, no, okay, 597 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: So we got a text similar to that that I 598 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: was happy to read a little bit later. But I 599 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: think the guilty parties have been caught. That's where we 600 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: differ Epstein and Maxwell, who are trafficking these people. I 601 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: don't think there's a giant group of rapists out there 602 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: that are getting away with it. If I believe that, 603 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: i'd be all I'd be with you. But I don't 604 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: believe that. What do we put a pin in that? 605 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: As they say, and we'll come back to it, let's see. 606 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: Because I have a response to Ben too, John writes, 607 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if false flag is the right term, 608 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: but maybe Trump fighting the Epstein files. As he knows 609 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: nothing is in there keeps democrats busy and they look 610 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: like fools when they find nothing. I don't know. Moving 611 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: on joyfully, let's see David with a really interesting point 612 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 1: of view about the unaffordability of housing, particularly for young people, 613 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: young families. I'm bemoaning the lack of starter homes that 614 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: allow younger people to get into the ownership game. And 615 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 1: almost every municipality I'm aware of the mandated affordable housing 616 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,240 Speaker 1: is almost exclusively reneral properties. Yeah, the culture of expecting 617 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: a home as nice as your parents who worked there 618 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: were way up over thirty years is a big problem. 619 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: But so is the crony capitalism of big developers getting 620 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: a new apartment complex improved, while small individual starter homes 621 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: almost never get approved. And he's been a general contractor 622 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: in the West Coast for twenty years. That's interesting. Our 623 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: first couple of houses were tiny, Judy and me and 624 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: kind of crappy, and we fixed them up. But yeah, 625 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: I think about all the new suburbs I see springing 626 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: up there and everywhere. They're all big houses. Yeah, yeah, 627 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: that's a good point. Interesting, And my Montana wants to 628 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 1: know about Katy Wilson, the new mayor of Seattle, who 629 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 1: pays forty thousand dollars a year in childcare, And he writes, hey, 630 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: Kitty Wilson has an unemployed husband. Can't he watched the 631 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: kiddo's family situation sounds sketchy. Let's give her nine billion 632 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: dollars to oversee. Yay, that's right. The new mayor of 633 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: Seattle is still on her parents payroll. We had a 634 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 1: lot on the way, a bunch of weight in on 635 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: how much your car insurance is, speaking of affordability and 636 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: other things to talk about Armstrong and Getty
