1
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong.

3
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: And Geckie and he arms wrong yet I'm from Studio

4
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: C C Signor.

5
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: It is a dimly lit room deeper than the bowels

6
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. And hey, y'all,

7
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: today we are toiling under the tutelage of our general.

8
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: Manager the economy.

9
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 3: I was gonna go with Chinese manufacturers because they're hurting

10
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: for certain holy calpa. Then the economic numbers for the

11
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: US came out and that was a bit of an

12
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: oof as well.

13
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: So here you go, ladies and gentlemen.

14
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: The first quarter of the United States GDP shrunk by

15
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: point three percent. We went negative, We went backwards point

16
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: three percent, barely, but we went backwards. And usually you're

17
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: hoping for like three four percent positive. So it's not

18
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: just so it's backwards, it's it's a good four percent

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: below where you'd.

20
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: Like to be. Yeah, it's solidly in reverse.

21
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 3: And that was before quote unquote Liberation Day in early

22
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,639
Speaker 3: this month.

23
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: Right, So I guess the analysis will be how much

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: this has anything to do with Trump? Since he took

25
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: over January twentieth, and this is the first quarter January,

26
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: February March.

27
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: But uh, yeah, that's it's not great. It's not great. Yeah.

28
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: Anybody who denies that there is rampant uncertainty in the

29
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: air around the globe is a liar. Now, whether this

30
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: is merely a period.

31
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: Of uncertainty followed by the greatest American century ever or

32
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: the Golden Age or what have you, or it's just

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: a mistake that needs to be rectified as quickly as possible.

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: It depends who you ask.

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: I believe though, that beats expectations, at least all the

36
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: expectations I had read, not my expectations, buddy. So yeah,

37
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 1: and then the whole anyway, more on that later. Hans

38
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: and I just got into a conversation about next door.

39
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Are you on next door.

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: For your neighborhood? Uh?

41
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: I used to pay that's funny, that's what he said.

42
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: That's what lots of people say. Oh yeah, people for

43
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: the same reasons.

44
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: Are you on next door? Michael? I know my wife

45
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: loves it, though, loves it.

46
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, she gets tips from you know, like we were

47
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 4: looking for an ac guy, so she'll asking around and

48
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 4: stuff like that Katie.

49
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: On it, You're on it.

50
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: It varies hood by hood, sure, according to the demographics

51
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: of the people involved in age.

52
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: Hanson's thing was, I don't want to know their political

53
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: opinions over there.

54
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: I like them, we get along well.

55
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear I don't want to read

56
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: their opinions on some issue.

57
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: And there is a lot of that.

58
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: It's like, is it because you don't have your own

59
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: talk show or something that you just feel like, you

60
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: know what I think of Trump's first hundred days? Why

61
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: are you putting this on next door? This is for

62
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: lost cats? And hey, I found a good you know,

63
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: air conditioner repairment.

64
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: Right exactly, And you know it's I always feel slightly

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: guilty pitching. The idea is that you know, you don't

66
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: need to tell everybody what you think, since I do

67
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: it for a living. But on the other hand, I don't,

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: you know, go around treating people's illnesses because I'm not

69
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: a doctor and nobody wants me touching them.

70
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: So stay in your lane.

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: You know, I get the urge, trust me, I do,

72
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: But you are alienating far more people than you are,

73
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, enlightening or or or impressing. In fact, and

74
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: this is the part that's often left out. People are

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: are often annoyed very much by people they agree with.

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: It's not just the people.

77
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: Who disagree with you that are annoyed, it's I don't

78
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: need people spouting off about politics in my like my

79
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: golf group.

80
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: What do you get out of it, Katie? What do

81
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: you like about next door?

82
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: Kind of the same thing that Michael's wife does. I

83
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: just you know, if I'm looking for tips for housework

84
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 4: or you know, lost pets and whatnot.

85
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of sadness, like tremendous sadness. Uh really,

86
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: I feel remember that there's there's just you know, I

87
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: don't know who they are, but there are a couple

88
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: of blocks over and they got you know, a nineteen

89
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: year old cat. It's dying leukemi and they can't afford it,

90
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: and they're not dying themselves.

91
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: It's just I want too much, too much sadness.

92
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: And finally drove me away was the does anybody know

93
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: who drives that red car?

94
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: It's very loud, yeah, because we were we were.

95
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: Adjacent to like a retirement community, and it was very

96
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: much if you're into classic TV, A forum for missus

97
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: Kravitz types, those who had just watched the neighborhood and

98
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: look for fault or missteps or violations of the HOA

99
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: rules or whatever, just never ending. Yeah, there is a

100
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: lot of to the high school kid who drove by

101
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: me today, you were way too close to the bike lane,

102
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, sort of like.

103
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, that's a legit concern. High school kid's not

104
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: reading it.

105
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: There's one video that got posted the other day from

106
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 4: a ring doorbell that somebody was outraged they got doorbell

107
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: ditched at about six pm and they were.

108
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: This is your kid, My.

109
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: God, if I catched them, I won't be held responsible

110
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: for what I do.

111
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: I found it interesting.

112
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Emotionally that, like, in general, if there is a you know,

113
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: a crime wave going through your neighborhood, you'd like to

114
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: know about that, because that happens sometimes where you know,

115
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: people come in from outside of town and they go

116
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: neighborhood by neighborhood, and if that's happening, it'd be good

117
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: to know about. But then, but then there's just apparently

118
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: general malfeasance that happens in in the middle of night,

119
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: always has, always will that you don't know about.

120
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: And I feel like I'm better off not knowing about it.

121
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: Being alerted to every tiny thing that happens overnight makes

122
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: you paranoid.

123
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: And I assume it's always been that way.

124
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: So why was there yelling at eleven thirty last night?

125
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: That's far past the time people should be yelling in public.

126
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: Somebody was messing with my trash cans at two am.

127
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: I could hear them. Oh right, I guess maybe it

128
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: was a cat. I don't know, really needs moderating. It

129
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: was right around speaking of cats. For that job, that'd

130
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 1: be a fun job, be the moderator for your local

131
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: next door.

132
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: Oh man, speaking of cats, there was a there were

133
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 3: several cat.

134
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: Fluffy was out in the backyard last night around sunset

135
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: and she's lost.

136
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: She's white and has a pink rib.

137
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: And there are several of these and I wanted to

138
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: write them all, ma'am a coyote eight Fluffy because he's dead.

139
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: Because that was absolutely You got people in the foothills

140
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: of this year and event in California with outdoor cats.

141
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: I wondered what happened to their cat. I'll tell you

142
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: what happened to your cat. A coyote ate.

143
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: It, ma'am, a coyote ate your cat. Your cat is

00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: dead dead, Yes it's Michael.

145
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we lost a cat or two to coyotes.

146
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I again, the political opinions just surprised me.

147
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: I just it's the maybe this is a public service

148
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: to those of you listening. You gotta tread really lightly

149
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: on sharing political opinions. It's just this, man, there's a

150
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: time and a place.

151
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and not everybody agrees with you.

152
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: So if you jump in with a if you care

153
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: about your school for your kids, then you need to

154
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: vote this way on H and and here's why. Okay,

155
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure you feel passionate about it, but man,

156
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna alienate more friends than good you do in

157
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: terms of convincing people to vote in my opp Although

158
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: the argument is you just put it, I could take

159
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: it's the argument that presumes everybody agrees with me, and

160
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: it's only some weird lunatics that I'm not familiar with

161
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: who could possibly disagree. You know, h if you love children, right,

162
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: you know that sort of thing. Yeah, what's the what's

163
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: the perfect comparison? He's dead, Fluffy is dead, ma'am.

164
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: You got two choices, get a new cat or not

165
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 2: have a cat. Fluffy is dead.

166
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 3: Here tell me this, and Katie Michael, please feel free

167
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: to weigh in. Political opinions are like medical symptoms. They're

168
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 3: not to be brought up in most settings.

169
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, as you would if you would not bring up

170
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: your medical symptom. I mean, if you would not say, boy,

171
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: my gums are bleeding a lot, look at this sore

172
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: com Yeah, if you would not post a picture of

173
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: your lesion. Don't you know, hit people with your political views.

174
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: I am staunchly in favor of political activism, political communication, involvement,

175
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: forming of groups.

176
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: That's being running for the school, all that stuff.

177
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: Sure, that is fine. You got to realize you're weighing

178
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: into it. I don't think most people realize they're weaying

179
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: into it in the way that they are. I think

180
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: they feel like there's a no cost to firing that

181
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: stuff off.

182
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: Uh, yes, I would agree. Yeah. Facebook is infamous for it.

183
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 3: How many people just roll their eyes and keep scrolling

184
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: at their old friends who just badger them with politics

185
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 3: all the time.

186
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe

187
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: Getty on this. It is Wednesday, April thirtieth, with a

188
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: shrinking economy, you're twenty twenty five, where arms and getting

Speaker 3: Let's begin officially then, according to SEC rules and regulations.

191
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 2: So much to talk about, we'll talk about it at Mark.

192
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: We've opened up.

193
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 5: Your faucets, and we've opened up especially me. I don't

194
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 5: like taking a shower where the water goes drip, drip,

195
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 5: drip onto.

196
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: My luxuriant air. I need a lot of water. I

197
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: need everything I can get.

198
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: Is this really happening or am I still asleep and

199
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm dreaming? So Trump I did a big rally last night.

200
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: We got a few headlines from that and more from

201
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: an interview. He did a big, long set down on

202
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: ABC News with Terry Moran, which you at one point

203
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: says I'd never heard of you and I can see why,

204
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: or something like oh no, oh god, that's funny. Anyway,

205
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: you got two choices, a new cat or no cat.

206
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: But those are your.

207
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: Two choices, according to Joe Fluffy's Soul Rest in Peace.

208
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: Katie's got her headlines, we got mail bag, We've got

209
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: more news of the day.

210
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: Stay here.

211
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: So we mentioned the GDP numbers are out and we're

212
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: the negative actually shrank and that's the first time since

213
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: COVID that we've shrank, and then it was quite a

214
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: while before that, so that doesn't happen very.

215
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 3: Often, No, indeed, and it depends what expectations you looked at,

216
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 3: whether this was significantly worse than expectations or not.

217
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: But it's not good. There's no.

218
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: Solid reason the economy should be shrinking, honestly.

219
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: And then that sets us up for the traditional definition

220
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: of a recession to shrinking quarters in a row. Yeah, yeah,

221
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: And again this was before Trump launched the confusing abortive,

222
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: chaotic mutual tariff thing with the charts and all. There

223
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: was some anticipatory uncertainty leading up to that hostility with China.

224
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: But we'll have to see how it all plays out.

225
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean, meanwhile, as we always point out, I am

226
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: not the economy.

227
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 3: I still have a paycheck. I am not in recession,

228
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: and neither is anybody else. So let's let's.

229
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: All keep cool here, all right, Let's figure out who's

230
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: reporting what.

231
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: It's the lead story. It's Katie Green.

232
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: Katie hit it all right, starting with ABC, Trump marks

233
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 4: one hundred days with campaign style rally.

234
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was reporting that he was really like restless

235
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: in the White House, and itching to get back out there.

236
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 2: He's almost freaking eighty years old.

237
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people who are almost eighty years

238
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: old are itching to sit on their chair all day long,

239
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: not getting up and stand in front of a crowd

240
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: for an hour and a half and riff ad lib.

241
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 4: From CNN a quote pissed Trump called Jeff Bezos after

242
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 4: learning Amazon considered breaking out a tariff charge.

243
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: Interesting story that played out while we were on the

244
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: are yesterday. The news broke that Amazon was going to

245
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: put a little blurb and when you paid for things,

246
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: this is how much was the tariffs. Trump got wind

247
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: of it, hated it, personally called Jeff Bezos, to which

248
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: it sounds like Jeff Bezos said, oh no, it's a misunderstanding.

249
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: We weren't planning on doing that at all, which either

250
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: is or isn't true.

251
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 3: But if I said it was one department's idea, it

252
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: was never going to be implemented. Please he's doney boy,

253
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 3: which again may or may not be true.

254
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: But you've got a hot trophy wife. I've got a

255
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 2: hot trophy wife.

256
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: Come on now, that's not fine.

257
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 4: From The New York Times, President Trump says he could

258
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: bring back wrongly deported man, but won't.

259
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we'll play that. Excerpt from the ABC interview

260
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: last night.

261
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 4: Now the important news, Jack from NBC Bill Belichick's girlfriend,

262
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 4: Jordan Hudson, Post's coach email about book promotion.

263
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had that yesterday, so exactly sure what a

264
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: point was there after the dust stuff over the weekend.

265
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: This this has the potential to be a great, little

266
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: good distraction soap opera to follow. Does this have the

267
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: potential land up in a homicide investigation?

268
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 2: No, no, No, it's not gonna be on.

269
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: There're weird dynamics at work here. Jack, It's not gonna

270
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: be on dateline. I don't think, is it. But and

271
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: the young hotty fifty year age difference.

272
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: That's it's a good story, which reminds me there might

273
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: be a new break in the crime of the century,

274
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: the kidnapping of the Lindenberg baby.

275
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: Read's right, the crime of last century.

276
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: Wow, I thought you're gonna go John Benet, but you

277
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: went way one hundred years before that.

278
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: Yes, stay tuned. From the Washington Post.

279
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 4: Ups set to lay off twenty thousand workers as it

280
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 4: reduces business with Amazon.

281
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: That's a lot.

282
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Amazon's delivery they're doing their own deliveries now

283
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: don trucks. Is that the big difference. Yep, they drive

284
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: too fast. All you Amazon drivers drive way to flip

285
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: and fast through the neighborhood.

286
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: Well, they would tell you, well, go ahead, Katie.

287
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, and quit parking in the middle.

288
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: Of the street, right man. That's the yeah.

289
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: And they just they just like to shut off their

290
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: vehicle wherever they want to. Yeah, they would respond to you, well,

291
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: we're giving an in We're given an insane a schedule,

292
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: and if we're not on time, we get yelled at

293
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: or fired or whatever, to which Amazon would then reply, no.

294
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: We don't.

295
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: It's a perfectly reasonable schedule, and you can walk to

296
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: and from your truck and still do your deliveries, to

297
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: which they would.

298
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: Reply again, bull crap. That's an interesting topic.

299
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: The most dangerous driver in my neighborhood on almost any

300
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: given day is either the ups or Amazon guy.

301
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: That shouldn't be m.

302
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: Are ups guys, very courteous. Your results may vary.

303
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: From Breitbart, Robert de Niro's son comes out as transgender

304
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 4: woman at age twenty nine.

305
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: I saw that pretty effeminate looking.

306
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: Dude from the New York You do you, sir.

Speaker 2: Wash them first.

313
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, this looks like shingles all over his face.

314
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: Oh fishing.

315
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:40,560

317
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 4: AI generating.

318
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't do underwear socks or T shirts.

319
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: Oh, thrifted underwear.

320
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: I know how much money you make. I hope you're

321
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: not buying used underwear. Be good to yourself, treat yourself.

322
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: You for I don't buy used under said I'm not

323
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: buying used underwear. I don't the the fact that you

324
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: would even bring it up, that the fact that it's

325
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: crossed your mind.

326
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: Apparently. How about the socks more news of the day.

327
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: No, not socks either, Oh wow, Armstrong and Getty.

328
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 5: I think maybe the border is the most significant because

329
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 5: our country was really going bad. They were allowing people

330
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 5: to come in from prisons, and now it's totally closed down.

331
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 5: And you've seen just yesterday the Ann's ninety nine. Nobody

332
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 5: thought that could happen.

333
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: So that is from the ABC interview that aired last

334
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: night in prime time. The question was what do you

335
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: think your biggest accomplishment in the first one hundred days,

336
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: and he said the border, which is almost certainly true

337
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: according to everyone. We've got more that coming up later,

338
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: including his exchange about Pete Hegseeth, which I thought was

339
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: really interesting and like classic, that's why Trump is who

340
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: he is, indifferent than other people, with a very honest,

341
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: I thought, relatable answer. But anyway, more on that later.

342
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to drill down a little bit into some

343
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: of the economic stuff. You need to separate China from

344
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 3: everywhere else if you're gonna be talking tariffs and the

345
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 3: wisdom or efficacy what Trump is doing. Those are two

346
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: completely different questions. Friends and allies, and then China. We

347
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 3: ought to be in a trade war with China, or

348
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 3: at least we ought to be, in my opinion, making

349
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 3: significant moves toward becoming much more independent from China in

350
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 3: all manufacturing, honestly, because we don't know when the bottom

351
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 3: is gonna drop out relations wise, Yeah, before the almost

352
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 3: inevitable probably war war.

353
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: Happens, Aikrambah, Yeah, you're not wrong not to mention. Well,

354
00:18:53,320 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: here's a special case within a special case, pharmaceuticals, computer chips,

355
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: other technologies that we need for our self defense that

356
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: we bizarrely are.

357
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: Dependent on China for. I mean, it's just a terrible idea.

358
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: So that's a no brainer, as they say, although apparently

359
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 3: we lost our brain for an extended period of time

360
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 3: because here we are dependent on them. But anyway, so

361
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 3: the high high tariffs against China, which are a precursor

362
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 3: to Trump I suspect fashioning a much more reasonable deal

363
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 3: that will accomplish some level of decoupling and yet not

364
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: you know, blow up the economy, is having a hell

365
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 3: of an effect on China. China's economy showed its first

366
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: big signs of damage from the trade wars. Steep US

367
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 3: tariffs pummeled export orders and production at the country's factories.

368
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 3: A gauge of new export orders fell this month to

369
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 3: its lowest reading since COVID nineteen was ravaging China in

370
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, while overall manufacturing activity in China was

371
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: the weakest in more than a year. So that's going

372
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 3: to add pressure on hijin Ping to reach a deal

373
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 3: with on trade with Trump, but for now they are

374
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 3: still making belligerent to chest beating noises over in Beijing.

375
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 2: So is this a who blinks first sort of situation?

376
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

377
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 3: I suspect very strongly that back channel negotiations are going on,

378
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: or lower level negotiations.

379
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: Says they are, and she says they absolutely are not.

380
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: So I don't know which is true. Yeah, very odd.

381
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: I can't figure that one out.

382
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 3: But in a social media post earlier this week, the

383
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: Chinese government urged other countries not to submit to US

384
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 3: pressure and said China will quote never kneel down before Washington. Still,

385
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: that's they're they're really hurting into China.

386
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: Glad to hear it.

387
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah good, they're dirty commis, they have slaves, they're they're

388
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: one of the most racist cultures on earth. They're bent

389
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: on world domination and then dominating every human being on

390
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: earth and enslaving them.

391
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: So boo, they're the bad guys.

392
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: Trade war uncertainty prompts wave of companies to yank forecasts.

393
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 3: Headline from the Wall Street Journal mentioned this yesterday. I

394
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: think we were just talking about GM that said it

395
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: might have been one other, but they said, you know,

396
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 3: that forecast we put out a few months ago that

397
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: we're going to have eight percent growth and profits around

398
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 3: this Well, we have no idea what they're going to

399
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 3: be now, so please chuck that in the garbage can.

400
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 2: New poll shows that more than eighty.

401
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 3: Percent of senior executives are worried about tariffs and other

402
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: policy shifts. So you got GM, Jet, Blue, Snap, Volvo,

403
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 3: all sorts of companies saying, yeah, forget our guidances, we

404
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 3: have no idea what's going to happen this year. UPS

405
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: did not update his outlook, though it predicted lower ship

406
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 3: and volumes and revenue. It also announced twenty thousand workers

407
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 3: would be laid off, as we discussed. And then Bill

408
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 3: Galston in the Wall Street Journal He's an editorialist, is

409
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 3: going through Trump's approval numbers. The headline is Trump's hemorrhages

410
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 3: support one hundred days in, and he's if you analyze

411
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 3: some of the polls, he is.

412
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: You know, the Democrats hate him.

413
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: They hatten him before most Democrat voters, a lot of

414
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: swing voters have turned negative, and indeed a small but

415
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: sizable chunk of Republican voters have swung negative and his

416
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: positives to negatives, which Jack you always point out, are

417
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: going to flip as soon as the honeymoon period ends

418
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: and events start to happen that sort of thing.

419
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: He was six points to the positive. He is now

420
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: seven points negative.

421
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: It's a total negative swing of thirteen point three points

422
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: since the beginning of his term.

423
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: It happened faster because he got involved in, you know,

424
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: trying to change America faster. But look at Obama's approval

425
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: ratings after he really got into pushing Obamacare, when he

426
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: had the most political capital to spend. How much he

427
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: dropped or Reagan after the first year or so doesn't

428
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: mean that this tariff fang couldn't be a disaster and

429
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: Trump ends up in the teens. I mean that is

430
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: still on the table. By the way, the economic news

431
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: it's out that the economy shrunk by zero point three percent.

432
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: Trump has responded to that in the last couple of minutes.

433
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: Here's his statement, this is Biden's stock market, not Trump's.

434
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: I didn't take over till January twentieth. Tariffs will students

435
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: start kicking in and companies are starting to move into

436
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: the USA and record numbers. Our country will boom. But

437
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: we have to get rid of the Biden overhang. This

438
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: will take a while, has nothing to do with tariff's

439
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: all caps, only that he left us with bad numbers.

440
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: But when the boom begins, it will be like no other.

441
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: Be patient. I hope he's I hope that's true. I

442
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: hope he's right now. I hope that's true. Yeah, me too,

443
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 2: I absolutely do.

444
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 3: I'm rooting for him to win on this for reasons

445
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: I was about to dive into. But you know, I'm

446
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: looking back at the history of foreign policy, for instance.

447
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: Well domestic policy too, for gonna sake. I mean, you

448
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: got a hundred examples of this.

449
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: Presidents who were good people mostly or you know, really

450
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: just good people surrounded by really smart advisors who got

451
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: policies through that they thought would work, and they did not.

452
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: It happens all the time history. I mean, you could

453
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: go in just the last twenty years of history, and

454
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: there are too many examples to go through during a

455
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: four hour program. Sometimes presidents are wrong because the world

456
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: is complicated and the economy has a way of It's

457
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: a lot like my hair, ladies, I suggest which direction

458
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: ought to go, but it listens only some of the time.

459
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: The economies like that too.

460
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: Do you think, well, on nudget that way, it'll go

461
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: that way, and it doesn't.

462
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: So it's possible Trump's just flat wrong. I hope he's not.

463
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 3: But I'm looking at some of these poll numbers and

464
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: and and thinking about, you know, the conduct of his

465
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 3: administration so far, and immigration has been a victory, so complete,

466
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 3: so swift, so inspiring, it's practically without precedent. It's like

467
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 3: if Lincoln won the Civil War in a month.

468
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: Having said that, his numbers on immigration have really declined

469
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: because and here's the Trump problem. You know the old

470
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: saying that if you want to make an omelet, you

471
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: gotta break a couple of eggs. You gotta break some eggs,

472
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: which is true. Have you ever tried to make an

473
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: omelet without breaking the eggs? They're they're horrible, very chewy.

474
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: For one thing, the shell so much shell. Anyway, the

475
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: problem with Trump is that if he's making a three

476
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: egg omelet, he breaks seven eggs. He breaks some of

477
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: the eggs that are in the carton. They're not part

478
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: of the Why.

479
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 2: Didn't you just not break those eggs?

480
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: Here's the problem, ay, here, right now here, Boomber, you're

481
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: a Reagan idiot. Rather I'll save you're writing your mark emails.

482
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: I like that accent whatever that was. Anyway, Uh, here's

483
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: the problem. Trump is doing magnificent stuff like this. This

484
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: this judge in Wisconsin who I want to talk about,

485
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: who's clearly guilty of obstructing justice and and she's gotten

486
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: busted for it. If you don't know, the story will

487
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: bring you up to speed.

488
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.

489
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: But so anyway, and the people on the left, that

490
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: press and the Democrats, oh, this is Trump's will talk

491
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: on the judiciary, bah bah bah, and the reforming education stuff,

492
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: the getting rid of the woke stuff.

493
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: It's great, it's so good. I can't believe it.

494
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: But if he breaks too many eggs that aren't going

495
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: into the omelets, Republicans get murdered at the midterms, murdered,

496
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 1: and all the good stuff stops. All that's left is

497
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: executive orders, and those are limited ineffectiveness, particularly as the

498
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: judiciary gets involved in it, and they should, so please

499
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: just break the three eggs. I want to tell you

500
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: the most interesting thing I heard yesterday about the first

501
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: one hundred days that has slipped by a lot of people.

502
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: But first tell you about price picks with the playoffs

503
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: going on. Especially, got a couple of big games tonight.

00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: Now I'm very excited about Warriors and Lakers both playing tonight.

Speaker 3: Visit prize picks dot Com for restrictions and details.

526
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: So Congress has been been becoming more and more irrelevant,

527
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: term by term my whole adult life, and it just

528
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: turbo speed this first one hundred days with Trump, and

529
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't know where this ends up. I mean, Congress

530
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: is you know, your Article one's supposed to be the

531
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: most powerful thing we got in our government and now

532
00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 1: they do nothing.

533
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: Really But so nothing happened with Congress in the first

534
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: one hundred days.

535
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: All this great stuff that you know you're just touting

536
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: is great, but sure wish would have been an attempt

537
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: to craft some legislation and run it through and vote

538
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: and turn it into law, so it would be very

539
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: difficult to overturn. They haven't even tried to approve a

540
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: single judge in the first one hundred days. No mine,

541
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: no major legislation.

542
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: Zero.

543
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: So when you talk about the one hundred day mark

544
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: comes from FDR. But his first one hundred days it

545
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: was tons of legislation. It was all passing these laws,

546
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: many of which we still unfortunately live with. But that's

547
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: the advantage of passing a law. They stick around for

548
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: a very long time, but just presidents don't do that anymore.

549
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: And it's been going that direction and Trump just amplified

550
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: that greatly.

551
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the engine of the country is supposed to be

552
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 3: Congress Article one branch. As Jack pointed out, And.

553
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this the other day, Congress has

554
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: become the kin to something like the Queen of England.

555
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: It has ceremonial duties, right, and it shows up to uh,

556
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, verious ceremonies and then and we we respect it,

557
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: and and they get together and and and do their

558
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: their traditional things, but nothing ever.

559
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: Comes of it. Yeah. It's not good.

560
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: No, it's it's horrible, And you know, it's mostly horrible

561
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 3: because someday, I'm told by historians, someday Democrats gonna win

562
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 3: again and have the White House, and they're gonna go

563
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 3: hog wild and pass all sorts of executive orders. In

564
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: Congress having completely forgotten how to do anything.

565
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 2: Is just gonna sit there and say, well.

566
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: They'll just give speeches and raise money on Instagram. Yeah,

567
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: we could be three years from all this stuff that

568
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: happened in the first hundred days being turned back the

569
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: other direction because it's be that easy to do mail

570
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: bags on the way, a bunch of other stuff.

571
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 2: Stay here breaking news. Maybe we'll get into more an

572
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: hour two.

573
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: Ukraine ready to sign landmark minerals deal with US today.

574
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's what Trump and Zelenski were talking

575
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: about privately in those chairs of the Vatican. Look get disagreement.

576
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: We're heavily invested. I think you know what that means.

577
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: I don't know.

578
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd love to talk about that, and

579
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: we wish we shall stay tuned.

580
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 3: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day, sent along

581
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: by Alert listener David. This is from none other than

582
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: so Crates Jack So pronounce his name Socrates. When the

583
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 3: debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.

584
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: You suck. Trump is hitler.

585
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: God, my son, my son demolished me three times in

586
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: a row in chess last night. Oh did you slander him?

587
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: And uh no?

588
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: But he is a uh what's a sore winner.

589
00:31:54,200 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 3: He's a show voter. Show voters get off his food supply.

590
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: That'd make the pay sanctions, son, I've announced sanctions against time.

591
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: You won't beating for a while for your show voting.

Speaker 3: Correspondents on a number of different topics, but we'll lead

596
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: with this one. Guys, why are we fighting to the

597
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: gorilla's strengths? This is on our topic of could one

598
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 3: hundred unarmed men defeat a gorilla in a fight, which

599
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 3: we spent most of the show on yesterday. Probably, but

600
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 3: it'd be a hell of a mess, is the answer.

601
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 3: According to all, you'd have to be You'd have to

602
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 3: find one hundred very motivated men, and I don't know

603
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 3: how you would do that.

604
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ta Trice. Humans are persistence hunters.

605
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: You wear the gorilla down by getting it to constantly

606
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: chase down different targets, goating it with the right timing

607
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: so it doesn't ever reach anyone.

608
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 2: Then it's exhausted. Bam.

609
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: Well wait a minute. Gorillas can charge it twenty five

610
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: miles per hour. I think, yeah, I think it would

611
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: charge It would rip the heads off five guys, and

612
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: then the.

613
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: Other ninety five guys would say, let us out this stuff?

614
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 2: What have we done?

615
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 3: And then he points out we'll need thirty to forty

616
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 3: sacrifices to determine the correct timing less if everyone's paying attention,

617
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 3: then he writes, well, make that fifty sacrifices.

618
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think people would be paying attention all right.

619
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: Moving along, Chris on the topic of I'm sorry, it's

620
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: a different email, burbank Luke writes on the topic of

621
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: the Amazon alleged idea of showing on your price how

622
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: much is a tariff charge?

623
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: Which that's it's I have problems with that idea.

624
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: I like it in spirit, but anyway, he says, I'd

625
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: love to see you break down at taxes, tariff's fees,

626
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: et cetera, at every point of sale, especially for gasoline.

627
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 2: Burbank Luke clearly a Californian.

628
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 3: I'm reminded of a convenience store owner in Cape Cod,

629
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 3: Massachusetts in the seventies. That's two fifty seven for the

630
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: comic books and thirteen cents for the governor.

631
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: He would say to all his customers. He did this

632
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: all day with every customer.

633
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 3: He's probably salty about Docacas raising the sales tax from

634
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 3: three to five percent. I was a kid and didn't

635
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 3: appreciate the business man like I do now. I just

636
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 3: came across another guy doing the same thing right here

637
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 3: in the people's republic.

638
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, portion out the taxes. I think that'd be great.

639
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 3: And fees and everything else. Help people understand where their

640
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 3: money is going.

641
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: Let's see on the topic of the UH thirty million,

642
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: sixty eighty million dollar air aircraft falling off the aircraft

643
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: carrier sixty to seventy depending on who the acts and

644
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: if you get the better stereo. Yeah, exactly, as you've had,

645
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: no doubt a zillion listeners inform you.

646
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 3: We actually haven't shown. But the nuclear carrier is extremely fast.

647
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: It is important to be able to swiftly generate a

648
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: headwind while launching fighters for the lift that provides. That's

649
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: a great point, show, But I did not know that,

650
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: but I believe it. But can it turn on such

651
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: a dime that it would cause a plane to fall.

652
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: Off the side?

653
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: Patience? My lad Robert writes, guys, I'm a retired O.

654
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: His topic is do everything turn turn turn? Well played,

655
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: my friend, I'm a retired marine. One of the most

656
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: spectacular things I've seen was watching the aircraft carrier making

657
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: an emergency turn. It had every appearance of a hard

658
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: ninety degree turn. You see a stunt driver perform in

659
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: a car now.

660
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 3: I was at some distance on the USS Bonholm Richard Richard,

661
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 3: which famously caught on fire in San Diego. Will it's

662
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: lit on fire by trees in a sailor. But the

663
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 3: agility of US aircraft carriers is a sight to see.

664
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 3: Could the loss of an aircraft be because of a

665
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 3: hard turn with other factors at play?

666
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 2: Maybe?

667
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 3: I don't know anybody serve on a carrier like to

668
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 3: that boy. We've got great notes on anger in Canada,

669
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 3: on kids' library books and the woke books being shut

670
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 3: down their throats, and much much more.

671
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: That's all good stuff, and if you miss an hour

672
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: or a segment, you can get the product podcast. It's

673
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty on demand. Economic numbers out. If you

674
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: haven't heard about that, I'm sure there'll be analysis throughout

675
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: the day. The economy is actually shrinking first quarter, first time.

676
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: I look great, Crazy Wisconsin Judge is going to be

677
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: behind bars and deserves it.

678
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 4: Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty
