1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: Jetty and he are strong and Yetty.

4
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: The authorities at the CDC.

5
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: You're trying to explain what's behind new numbers showing that

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: one out of every thirty one children in America was

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: diagnosed with some measure of autism in twenty twenty two,

8
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: the latest figures available, and the report shows that autism

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 3: was much more common in boys than girls. Other health

10
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 3: officials are explaining that the larger numbers are because parents

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: and doctors are now much more aware of the disease

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 3: and are now correctly identifying more symptoms.

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I might.

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 4: Be biased in this, just because I've known a couple

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 4: of people that were in that world of researching that

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 4: who really react like angrily to that notion that that

17
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 4: is just just a distraction. Autism is so overwhelmingly a

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 4: bigger deal now than it used to be. Maybe around

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: the edges it's because of diagnosis, but it's not a

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 4: factor in the whole thing at all. And it just

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 4: it just you know, it just clouds, It just takes

22
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 4: away the momentum you've got in the conversation and you.

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 5: Definitely thought that was righteous fervor as opposed. So they

24
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 5: didn't want their funding cut.

25
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,639
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, absolutely that's what they believe.

26
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, well that's interesting and good to know. You know,

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 5: my kid we were told she was not autistic back

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 5: in the prehistory of knowing a damn thing about this,

29
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 5: which was roughly the year nineteen ninety eight or so,

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 5: and now she absolutely is considered autistic. So there has

31
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 5: been an evolution and recognition, and that's in distagnosis. But

32
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 5: is that ten percent of the rise? Is it fifty percent?

33
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 5: Is it one hundred percent? That's what does make so

34
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 5: many of these discussions in the media especially so annoying

35
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 5: to me, is people, Oh, it's a rise in awareness, okay.

36
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: Ten or one hundred percent.

37
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. I believe autism is the thing. I believe it exists,

38
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: and I believe it is.

39
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: Way worse.

40
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 4: Maybe it never existed in the past or at such

41
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 4: small levels we didn't notice it. I think it's, you know,

42
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: a big giant concern. But I do know for a fact,

43
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: because I'm in this world also that there are parents

44
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 4: who work hard to find a doctor who will say,

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 4: your kids on the spectrum because it gives you an

46
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 4: opportunity to get involved in all kinds.

47
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: Of public school stuff.

48
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 5: Wow, once you get that modern world, modern world, one

49
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 5: star cannot recommend. So Alexis mccadams on Fox News doing

50
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 5: an extended report on autism research and politics and that

51
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 5: sort of thing.

52
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: Let's start with ninety en roll from there, Michael.

53
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 6: This week, this CDC is expected to release data showing

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 6: that the rate of autism spectrum disorder among children is

55
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 6: now one in thirty one from one in thirty six

56
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 6: and twenty twenty three and one in one hundred and

57
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 6: fifty in two thousand. It's an increase met with a

58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 6: bold promise.

59
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 5: By September, we will know what has caused the autism

60
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 5: into hapidemic and we'll be able to eliminate those exposures.

61
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 6: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior says an effort to

62
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 6: pinpoint the cause of autism and its rise is now

63
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 6: being led by the National Institutes of Health and will

64
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 6: involve hundreds of scientists worldwide.

65
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad we're giving it that kind of attention,

66
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: because we've been saying for a long time, it should

67
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: get that sort of tension. But what did he claim

68
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 4: by September. By September will know the cause of autism.

69
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 4: I find that normally eliminate exposure to it. Well, that

70
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: suggests something that might not be the case, Mungo.

71
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, that is. I think that's fairly easy to explain.

72
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 5: He and people who think like him are going to

73
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 5: present quote unquote research that says it's vaccines, and therefore

74
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 5: we can stop autism by stopping the vaccines. It's a

75
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 5: preordained outcome. That's what it sounds like to me.

76
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: I've been around to school.

77
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: You have to.

78
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: I've been around schools a lot with Mike. I have

79
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 4: fifteen year old and a thirteen year old, and I

80
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 4: mean I was there up until a couple of years ago.

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 4: I was there every day picking one of them up,

82
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 4: and then at the playground with all the kids every

83
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 4: single day. And blah blah blah. That number sounds easily

84
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 4: right to me. One out of thirty. Interesting based on

85
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 4: looking at classrooms and that sort of stuff, that is

86
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 4: not shocking to me at all.

87
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're around youngsters much more than I am these days.

88
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 5: I mean, my info is out of date again. As

89
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 5: you know, referencing my kid something that happened twenty five

90
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 5: years ago is just pleace prehistory.

91
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Let's roll on with Alexis.

92
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 6: Existing research, including studies done on twins, show us that

93
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 6: there's a huge genetic component contributor to Doctor Nicole Saffire

94
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 6: adds that the NIH has also identified potential environmental risk

95
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 6: factors for autism. Kennedy believes a singular toxin could be

96
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 6: found responsible.

97
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 5: Everything is on the table, our food system, our water,

98
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 5: our air, different ways of parenting.

99
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: Epidemics are not caused by genes.

100
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 6: Kennedy says vaccines are on the table as well, despite

101
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 6: widespread scientific evidence showing no link to.

102
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 7: Autism, claims that autism is solely caused by environmental exposures

103
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 7: parenting style or vaccines is not only lacking scientific evidence,

104
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 7: but it's also incredibly irresponsible.

105
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 4: Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard parenting styles

106
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 4: thrown out there for the whole autism thing.

107
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: What yeah, yeah, what.

108
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 4: I loved him saying everything's on the table, food, environment, vaccines,

109
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 4: everything that sounds good.

110
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: Parenting styles. What parenting style?

111
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 4: Maybe he had to say that to satisfied some group

112
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 4: that thinks it's that, and he doesn't think it's that.

113
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: But he's just saying, we're gonna look at everything. But

114
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: have you have you heard that before?

115
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 5: No, no, no, that's out of left field. And him

116
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 5: saying genetics doesn't cause epidemics, that's that's an interesting point. No,

117
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 5: it doesn't, but it absolutely plays role in autism. That's indisputable.

118
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 5: And sometimes it's epigenetics, which means if you have a

119
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 5: particular gene and it is exposed to a particular environmental factor,

120
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 5: that will it's a genetic issue, but it's it's epigenetic.

121
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: It means it's one step removed.

122
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 4: I never heard that word before, but that makes sense

123
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 4: that you know, if you're you could have this particular

124
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: genetic makeup all throughout human history. But now that particular

125
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 4: genetic makeup comes in contact with certain amount of plastics

126
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: or cell phone powers or whatever we decided it is right,

127
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 4: you have this thing called autism.

128
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. Uh, just for instance, it is absolutely indisputable.

129
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 5: At my kid's grandfather, my wife's dad was autistic.

130
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that is interesting.

131
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: Did not know that. Okay, that's really interesting.

132
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, and yeah, on my side of the family, there's

133
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 5: definitely evidence of it as well.

134
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: H huh.

135
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 5: It could be a certain combination of jeans. It's like,

136
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 5: you know, a husband A and wife A together might

137
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 5: have a kid who has a genetic syndrome, but if

138
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 5: they're not, if they married somebody else, the kid wouldn't

139
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 5: have anyway.

140
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far if you would.

141
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 4: Genetics probably worth throwing this out there because my son

142
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 4: has a variety of things that I've talked about a

143
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: lot on the air, and I talk about him less

144
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: as he's getting older, but always every time we're with

145
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 4: a psychiatrist, psychologist, doctor, whatever dealing with this stuff through

146
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: his life, somebody throws out, you know, has he been

147
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: tested for autism or have they looked at autism or

148
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 4: whatever I've.

149
00:07:58,960 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: Had I don't know.

150
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 4: Fifteen to twenty I mean that's not an exaggeration. Fifteen

151
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: to twenty different medical professionals look into it and all

152
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 4: say no, he's not autistic. So they will say no

153
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 4: with similar characteristics, at least that has been my experience.

154
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 4: So they're not like using that as a easy blanket

155
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 4: catch all for anything they can't figure out, at.

156
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 5: Least not wrong kid or like ADHD for every restless

157
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 5: little boy.

158
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: You know.

159
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, finally, This from Alexis McAdams on Fox News.

160
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 6: Doctor Peter Marx, the FDA's former top vaccine official forced

161
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 6: to resign last month, spoke out yesterday against Kennedy's September promise,

162
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 6: saying autism is just too complex.

163
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: You can be incredibly supportive of people, but giving them

164
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: false hope is wrong.

165
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 6: The cause of autism and the rise in the number

166
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 6: of cases are largely seen as two separate issues. Most

167
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 6: experts feel the rate increases due to greater awareness and

168
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 6: expanded criteria.

169
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 4: Expanded criteria is a different thing. That's a that's a problem.

170
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 4: And then see that that's why. And you said the

171
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: modern world, the modern world is a problem. There is

172
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 4: so much benefit to expand the criteria for money that

173
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 4: you get for either your research institution or your school,

174
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 4: your classroom, whatever. Then, like I said, if you can

175
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 4: get your kid diagnosed by somebody on some level of

176
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 4: the spectrum, then you qualify for all these different things.

177
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 4: All these things have the unfortunate, you know, ability to

178
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: like mislead us on actually trying to figure out how

179
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 4: many autistic kids we have and how do we fix it.

180
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: We're swimming in a miasthma.

181
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 5: Of ulterior motives. Wow, a my asthma? Was that flowery

182
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 5: enough for you? If you came for flowery, boy, you

183
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 5: got it there. What is a miasthma? It's like something

184
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 5: you can swim in confusing mix. It's where you can't

185
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 5: breathe right exactly. No, that's that's just regular asthma happened.

186
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: So finally, this I want is throw this in that whole.

187
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 5: The origin of the its vaccines thing is from a

188
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 5: since retracted nineteen ninety eight study which was based on

189
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 5: fraudulent data from twelve children that gave rise to the

190
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 5: vaccine autism theory continues to fuel conspiracy theories. Here's the

191
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 5: director of the Center for Autism Research Excellence at Boston University,

192
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 5: who I have a feeling is sincere in wanting to

193
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 5: figure out.

194
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: What's going on.

195
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 5: We will learn absolutely nothing with another study about vaccines.

196
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: We've ruled it out.

197
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: That's interesting.

198
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 4: I don't really mind anything RFK Junior said there, other

199
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: than the fact that we will figure out what's causing

200
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 4: this by September and maybe it's parenting styles and not

201
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 4: from a false hope standpoint, because well, I don't know,

202
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 4: but most parents I know who have taught testing kids

203
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 4: would roll the rise that they're not going to think,

204
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 4: Oh good, we're gonna have it cured by September.

205
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: No, no, no, you're not.

206
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's ridiculous.

207
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 5: Unless they're on the verse you have some mind blowing breakthrough.

208
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 5: Having been in the position now for what two months,

209
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 5: seems unlikely anyway.

210
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, I am glad that it's being treated like

211
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 4: a crisis, because it is a freaking crisis.

212
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, amen to that.

213
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 5: Wherever the road leads, let's get there as fast as possible, please,

214
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 5: can we You know what?

215
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: And here you go.

216
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 5: Here's the same old song. Here's my freebird, here's my

217
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 5: stairway to Avon. You came to hear this, you're gonna

218
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 5: hear it. If we would quit wasting money as a

219
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 5: government on stupid crap or buying votes and spending far

220
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 5: more than we take in, we would have plenty of

221
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 5: money to do important scientific research.

222
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: End of screed.

223
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 4: Speaking of wasting money, there is a survey done by

224
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 4: the Cato Institute about people's attitudes. Shocking results to me

225
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 4: happy about happy to be shocked about how many people

226
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 4: think government waste money.

227
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: There's something they can do about it. We got to

228
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: do something about it. Happy to hear that. We'll get

229
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: to that, la. It's really good stuff. Stay here.

230
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 4: So Cato ne're a think tank, we like. They did

231
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 4: a survey along with you Gov, asking all kinds of

232
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 4: questions about tax cuts and spending in the federal government

233
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 4: and that sort of stuff. I'll hit you with one

234
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: number and then get to a whole bunch more next segment.

235
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 4: Only fifteen percent of Americans think the massive increase in

236
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 4: federal spending over the last decade has improved their quality

237
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 4: of life. Huh fifteen percent, with the headline being vast majorities,

238
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,599
Speaker 4: including Democrats, think we spend too much. We got to

239
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 4: spend less. They want the tax cuts permanent. That the

240
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 4: government is ripping us off, We're not getting any bang

241
00:12:59,400 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: for our buck.

242
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: It's like it's it's a settled issue.

243
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 4: You wouldn't grasp that from taking in politics through mainstream media,

244
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: but it is a settled issue.

245
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: But we get more of that coming up.

246
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, boy, I have thoughts on that, but we'll delve

247
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 5: into them later. For no particular reason other than we

248
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 5: enjoy it. Now, let's continue our series of neighbors screaming

249
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 5: at each other like lunatics. Apparently the guy started taping

250
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 5: the guy with his phone, and here we go.

251
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come up to it right now and I'm

252
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna fucking stuff that thing up. Your's the most.

253
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: Disrespectful sort of coo yourself, stuffy you. I find it

254
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 4: on YouTube, and it's gonna go right up your coop

255
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 4: your's set it again, goop your's up.

256
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: I'll say to my face, goods.

257
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 4: Next time I see you face to face, you're the

258
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 4: one that's gonna go fuck yourself.

259
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow.

260
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 4: We have any idea what their argument is about what

261
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 4: their beef is or the plural beabs, maybe they have

262
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 4: multiple beabs.

263
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: I just don't think they get along. Jack.

264
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 5: That that didn't have quite the manic delightfulness of mashed

265
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 5: potato on Tesla.

266
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: No, but the the accents in the speaking styles, in

267
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 4: the mild speech impediments, I thought made it very charming. Uh.

268
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're reach on YouTube. I'm gonna shove it right up, y'all.

269
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 5: All right, yeah, we get it.

270
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: I think we need to use more ie statements, less

271
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 4: you statements, tell.

272
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: Him how you feel, don't accuse, Okay.

273
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 5: I feel like I would like to put your phone

274
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 5: up your rs.

275
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 4: I feel like, if I see this on YouTube, I

276
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 4: am going to kill you.

277
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: Ah Now I understand beautiful still like the other one better.

278
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 4: You sit here, you drive in and you drive out.

279
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: You have jump cars all you drive and you drive out.

280
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: That's what people do in their driveways. You more.

281
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 5: That's one of the funniest things ever. And now, Michael,

282
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 5: you've derailed a segment. I was going to get to

283
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 5: a trio fascinating baseball stories, only one of which has

284
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: anything to do with baseball.

285
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: Do we have any time? Yeah? Time? We got about

286
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: a minute forty.

287
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 5: All right, play. This is a clip number sixteen. This

288
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 5: is a Red Sox game.

289
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: A little buzz in the ballpark, and it's not the fans.

290
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: They've halted play, but there's a whistling effect in the

291
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: sound system. There we go.

292
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 3: Whatever they had.

293
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: To do, they did it. That was so weird. That

294
00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: sound was giving me nausea, Katie. It just did the

295
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: exact same thing to me.

296
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 5: That's weird. I felt like I was gonna throw up. Yeah,

297
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 5: I'm sorry if that If it actually made anybody recurgitate.

298
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if that was because it was like

299
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 4: directly because the headphones or what. But wow, that was

300
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 4: and I bet it was a lot louder for the

301
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 4: people in the stands there.

302
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

303
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 5: Wow, Okay, do we have time for this? This is

304
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 5: from the Atlanta Braves game.

305
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 3: Who do we got?

306
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: You wish?

307
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: Your name?

308
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: My name is Lauren and I'm kayla. You guys hang

309
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: out the rooftop lounge often.

310
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: Once a year.

311
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: I come out to visit. Okay, Wiley got more innings

312
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: to get the numbers? Come on, come all right, So

313
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: they want me to get your number? They want you

314
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: to get that. I'm dead serious.

315
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 5: So the best part of this right now is that

316
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 5: Wiley could totally be faking and this might be the

317
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 5: new move. I just walk around with a fan dueled

318
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 5: microphone and an earpiece in and convince fans that they're

319
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 5: actually on TV.

320
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: I should have thought of this years ago.

321
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: I got the number. We're good and what that is?

322
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: Toxic masculinity.

323
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: It was masodynty Jack.

324
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 5: I can't believe a young man would want to be

325
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 5: with a young woman and ask her to be with him.

326
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: It's sickening.

327
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 5: There's actually a third baseball story that's about baseball. Could

328
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 5: be a major change in pitching. Most of America agrees

329
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 5: with you.

330
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: Taxes and spending arstrong and getty.

331
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 8: Joe Biden made his first appearance in public since he

332
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 8: left office. Biden spoke at a bipartisan an event to

333
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 8: encourage Democrats or Republicans to work to protect social security together,

334
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 8: which seems about as likely to happen as a reboot

335
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 8: of Fiddler on the Roof starring Kanye West. But social

336
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 8: security is number one for Joe Biden. Literally, his social

337
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 8: Security number is one.

338
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: That's kind of interesting as a lead into this.

339
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 4: Republicans and Democrats not being able to work together, it

340
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 4: would seem that they could work together on cutting spending

341
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 4: based on this polling that just came out from the

342
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 4: Cato Institute.

343
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 2: Cato is a serious think tank. It's a conservative thing tank.

344
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 4: They worked with yougo on this survey and it's one

345
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 4: of your really big, large number of people, wide reaching,

346
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 4: lots of questions sort of survey that comes out every

347
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 4: once in a while from these think tanks. I don't

348
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 4: know which of these numbers is my favorite. There's a

349
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 4: lot of them that are just mind blowingly.

350
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: Make me happy.

351
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 4: But I can't believe because public will is a real

352
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 4: big part of getting anything done in a democracy. Obviously,

353
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 4: if you got big majorities of people that want something

354
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 4: to happen, you should be able to get it to

355
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 4: happen and run on it. Here's my favorite of all

356
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 4: the spending we've done in the last ten years, and

357
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 4: we've done a lot of spending in the last ten years,

358
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 4: eighty five percent. Now that's a big number. Whenever you

359
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 4: get eighty five percent of people in agreement on something,

360
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 4: you'd think.

361
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 2: You could get political will to do something.

362
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 4: Eighty five percent say that spending is either not helped

363
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 4: them or made their lives worse.

364
00:18:54,840 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: Eighty five percent. That's astounding. You wouldn't get that.

365
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 4: From taking it in through the mainstream media, who feels

366
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: like all government programs are wonderful and doges trying to

367
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 4: cut back on any of them as a horror. Eighty

368
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 4: five percent of Americans say all that spending has either

369
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 4: not done anything.

370
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: For me or actually made my life worth the worse.

371
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 4: Forty two percent no impact, forty three percent say it

372
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: reduced to their quality of life.

373
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 5: Wow, that's got to be Inflation, which is the greatest

374
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 5: teacher of economic principles in the history of mankind.

375
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 4: Well, ors, just I regularly say, and this this is

376
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 4: true for me in my own personal life. I believe

377
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 4: the government stops me from doing things more than it

378
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 4: helps me.

379
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I think so. I mean, and well, do

380
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 5: you drive on the roads. Yeah, we we know you're

381
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 5: an idiot. Courses something else to listen to music you more.

382
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 5: I'm not even gonna explain why you're moro.

383
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: I know, moron.

384
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 4: And by the way, this is a non partisan observation.

385
00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 4: Eight and ten Democrats and nine and ten Republicans believe

386
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: that the increase in federal spending has either made their

387
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 4: lives not better or worse.

388
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: Boy, this is really heartening.

389
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 5: I know, if the Republican If the Republicans can keep

390
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 5: between the ditches and not roll the car of their

391
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 5: messaging over, it seems to me like the ground is

392
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 5: super fertile for some good, solid conservatism in the years

393
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 5: to come.

394
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 4: Three quarters of Americans say the government spends too much.

395
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 4: Love that seventy six percent the government spends too much.

396
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 4: And again, it's not a partisan thing at all. Majorities

397
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 4: of Democrats fifty nine percent of Democrats think the government

398
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 4: spends too much money. Well, you'd never get that from

399
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 4: the main from your mainstream media coverage.

400
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the question of what do you cut and

401
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 5: how and how much?

402
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: That's you know, the devil is in the details.

403
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 5: But we do have an enormous generalized agreement that, yeah,

404
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 5: we need.

405
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: To cut again two thirds.

406
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 5: You get the opposite message from all of the coverage

407
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 5: of doges for instance.

408
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 4: So almost everyone agrees there is waste, fraud and abuse

409
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 4: in the federal government. The number is ninety eight percent.

410
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 4: I out know if I've ever seen a poll that

411
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 4: reached ninety eight percent. Usually you have more than two percent.

412
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 4: They're like, no opinion, I don't know, refuse to answer.

413
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, but would you like me to stab you right now?

414
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 5: You might get ninety eight percent saying no, no opinion?

415
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: Ninety I'm not sure stab me as what?

416
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 4: Ninety eight percent broadly agree there is waste, fraudle abuse

417
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 4: in the federal government. Of course, just to say no,

418
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 4: you'd be a crazy person. About half say there is

419
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: a great deal. Oh yeah, and twenty percent a monitor amount.

420
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 4: If hundreds of millions of dollars isn't a great deal

421
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 4: to you, what are you elon musk or something?

422
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: Man?

423
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I said, there's so many good numbers here,

424
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 4: I don't even know which ones to pick out the

425
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 4: most this one. One of the reasons this got attention

426
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 4: was some of the tax stuff yesterday. Fifty five percent

427
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 4: of Americans think their taxes are too high, hm, which

428
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 4: I thought was really interesting.

429
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 5: Especially especially given what we were talking about yesterday on

430
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 5: Tax Day that the top forty percent or so of

431
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 5: income levels pay all of the income tax, but.

432
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: Fifty five percent of American seatter taxes are too high.

433
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 4: Fifty five percent same number believe they pay more than

434
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 4: their fair share in taxes. That obviously is interesting given

435
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 4: the fact that half the country does not pay federal

436
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 4: taxes federal income tax.

437
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 5: Although you do have to remember, you know, a property

438
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 5: tax hammers a lot of people.

439
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: Sales taxes.

440
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 4: Sales tax, I think is probably what gets a lot

441
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: of people sure. How about the controversial Trump tax cuts

442
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: from twenty seventeen and whether they should be extended or not.

443
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 4: According to this, eighty five percent of Americans support extending

444
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 4: the twenty seventeen tax cuts.

445
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: Eighty five percent.

446
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 5: It's a gift of million ass and billion as How

447
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 5: is this a controversial issue? If the mainstream media was

448
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 5: not what they are could Democrats win a single election

449
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 5: as they're currently constituted.

450
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

451
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 5: They need some of the best wordsmiths. Well, actually most

452
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 5: journalists are wordsmiths at all. Their parrots, but they need

453
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 5: the power of the media colossus to polish their their

454
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 5: their poop, if you will. I'm sorry, I just didn't

455
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 5: want to use that common expression polishing a turd.

456
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: Because it's disgusting. But that's essentially But it's good though.

457
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: It's illustrative, Jack, I mean, it really makes the point.

458
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: It's got to be a better one, is there? It

459
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 2: got to be that doesn't include the T word.

460
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 5: Thoroughly lipsticking the pig of their policies.

461
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't know.

462
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 4: So three quarters of people agree with the statement the

463
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 4: twenty seventeen tax cuts should be made permanent because businesses

464
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 4: and families need stability of the tax code to plan.

465
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 2: For the future. Three quarters agree with that.

466
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 4: Also, three quarters agree that tax cuts should be made

467
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 4: permanent because taxes are too high. Three quarters of Americans

468
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 4: think the Trump tax cuts should be made permanent because

469
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 4: taxes are too high.

470
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: Wow, did you hear the pot about the millionaires?

471
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: Oh?

472
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: You did? Oh, you're rejecting it. I gotta get to that.

473
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 4: Then, since you brought that up, do the spending, because

474
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 4: you'll that fits in perfect what you just said. A

475
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 4: majority of Americans admire the rich sixty five. Two thirds

476
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 4: disagree with the statement wealth should be taken from the

477
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 4: rich and given to the poor.

478
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: Two thirds of Americans disagree with that.

479
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 5: Wow, this is a different country than the media would

480
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 5: have you believed.

481
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: I'd xastly different.

482
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 4: Three out of five Americans strongly agree ninety percent strongly

483
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 4: or somewhat agree that quote. There is nothing wrong with

484
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 4: trying to make as much money as you can. Ninety

485
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 4: percent strongly or somewhat agree with that.

486
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

487
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 4: When I asked specifically about billionaires, seventy one percent disagree

488
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 4: that it's immoral for society to allow people to become billionaires.

489
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 4: Seventy one percent don't agree with that statement. You hear

490
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 4: it all the time from the AOC Bernie crowd, Elizabeth

491
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 4: Warren crowd, and they put it on the news like

492
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 4: that's you know, representing half.

493
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 5: Of America, right right, Yeah, And anybody who does think

494
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 5: we should make it impossible to you know, become a billionaire,

495
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 5: you just you're so dumb.

496
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: You are so dumb. We just need you to get

497
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: out of the way. Please.

498
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 5: As if you come up with a great idea that

499
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 5: one person likes and it makes you a dollar, that's fine.

500
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 5: If a million people like that idea and give you

501
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 5: a dollar, that's fine.

502
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: But if a billion.

503
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 5: People like that idea and give you a dollar, that's

504
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 5: wrong or a borrow Again, you're just so dumb you

505
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 5: need to get out of the way.

506
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: Well, not near as many people agree with that as

507
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 4: I thought, And I've been misled myself. And you know,

508
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 4: we're in the industry and taking lots of media and

509
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 4: read lots of polls, but I've been misled to think

510
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 4: they're that in modern America there were way more people

511
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 4: that hate the rich and think something's wrong there.

512
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: That seems to be true.

513
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 4: Two thirds think wealth should not be taken from the

514
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 4: rich and given.

515
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: To the poor. I'm sorry, I just didn't know.

516
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 5: So I think part of the reason that our perception

517
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 5: might be a little warped is that even some of

518
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 5: my favorite conservative journalists are of.

519
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: The coastal elites.

520
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 5: Variety, and they're nice fellas and they have great principles,

521
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 5: but I don't think they know America and listen to

522
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 5: say sound absolutely do not. This is going to sound

523
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 5: awfully like a self backpadding. But I think it's a

524
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 5: couple of guys from you know, fairly average families in

525
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 5: the Midwest. I don't feel like an elite anything. I've

526
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 5: never hung out with those people. I wouldn't be comfortable there.

527
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 5: I would much rather, you know, a drink beer with

528
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 5: my neighbor, Larry the truck driver. I just and I

529
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 5: think maybe we have that advantage and we, all of

530
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 5: us friends, have to trust our own perceptions instead of

531
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 5: that of the bizarro funhouse mirror of the media.

532
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you already believe that.

533
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 4: The fact that eighty five percent of people say all

534
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 4: that government spending has done nothing for them or made

535
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 4: their lives worse is amazing something. Yeah, and you know

536
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 4: over half of people say my taxes are too high.

537
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 4: All that fitting together, how do we not get a

538
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 4: government that spends less and keeps taxes low?

539
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 5: Well, I think you know, part of the answer would

540
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 5: be the swamp, which includes many Republicans and Democrats who

541
00:27:55,040 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 5: have a absolutely enormous financial interest in keeping government huge.

542
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 4: Right, there are solid majorities, and I could do more

543
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 4: than numbers. But I don't want to bore you to death,

544
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 4: but the solid majorities of people that thinks it's the spending,

545
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 4: it's not the taxing. I mean that is that is

546
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 4: a settled issue in this country. It's the spending, not

547
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 4: the taxing, and we need to deal with it from

548
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 4: a spending standpoint. So we're not getting the government we

549
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 4: deserve on this front.

550
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so true. It's encouraging people believe that in

551
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 5: the numbers that they do. It is discouraging that we

552
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 5: are fighting to make any progress in reigning in the insanity.

553
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 5: But right, yeah, because it's our duty, is citizens, So

554
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 5: I guess we keep trying.

555
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's barely uh, you're barely able to believe that

556
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 4: democracy works.

557
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, look at the border issue. That's

558
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: what I've been saying for years.

559
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 4: It's not controversial at all either, Like ninety percent of

560
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 4: people want to secure border, but we haven't been able

561
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 4: to do it in my.

562
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: Entire adult lifetime, right right, Very frustrating.

563
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it is ove nice job of those you

564
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 4: out there who agree that all this spending does make

565
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 4: your life worse of anything, that's amazing.

566
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: You know what else is amazing?

567
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 5: Jack Gail King's belief that she needs to fight back

568
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 5: against the mockery of Vaders all Girl Spaceflight, and has

569
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 5: decided it would be better for her to continue this topic.

570
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,479
Speaker 1: In the public arena. But continue it, we will, Gale,

571
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: my darling, stay with us. We have that coming up.

572
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 2: That's awesome to stay here.

573
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 4: Strange, you are officially an astronaut.

574
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: How do you feel? I still can't accept that word.

575
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 4: I just feel a renew connection to everything in life

576
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 4: and where we are, and I can't wait to go

577
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 4: back out there. It is the highest high and it

578
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 4: is surrender to the unknown.

579
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: Trust.

580
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 4: I just like my main goal in life is to

581
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 4: be self aware. Just I guess that's part of the whole,

582
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 4: to your self be true or whatever.

583
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean.

584
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 4: I am having trouble accepting the word astronaut. Yeah, so

585
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 4: is everybody else in America watching you?

586
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: All right?

587
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 5: Calling you an astronaut is an incredible insult to astronauts.

588
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, nobody thinks you're an astronaut. Nobody's like impressed by

589
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 4: what you just did. They think you went on a

590
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 4: really cool, like amusement park ride.

591
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: All right, so take it easy.

592
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, you observed a surgery and Now it's not your

593
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 5: fault because the nice lady from Blue Origin just declared

594
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 5: you an astronaut. But observing a surgery doesn't make you

595
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 5: a surgeon, right, good lord. So the mockery of the Galstronauts,

596
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 5: the ch extronauts and their pronouncements of their wonder in

597
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 5: awe about counting on each other and being there for

598
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 5: each other, and Katie Perry said it's second to being

599
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 5: a mom.

600
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 1: The rest of it.

601
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 5: Gail King has unwisely decided to clap back at people

602
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 5: making fun of the whole deal.

603
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: Here she is.

604
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 9: I really resent that people are calling it a rye.

605
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 9: We duplicated the trajectory of Alan Shepherd's flight back in

606
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 9: the day.

607
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: No one called that a ride.

608
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 9: A ride sounds frivolous, it sounds insignificant. This was a

609
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 9: bona fide flight. So you know, I say, have you

610
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 9: been to space? Have you seen what Blue Origin does

611
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 9: to get these machines up, get them up and get

612
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 9: them down with the precision that they do.

613
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, there are haters. There's always going to be heres.

614
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: It's a whole for your role in it is silly.

615
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: And first, yeah, yeah, yeah.

616
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, we get the whole having a rocket that

617
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 4: goes into space and back and school you. What you

618
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 4: did is one hundred percent frivolous and insignificant.

619
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: That is a perfect description of what you just did.

620
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 4: Indeed, that's not being a hater, that's just describing accurately

621
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 4: what you did.

622
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: Yes, Katie, uh.

623
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 4: Big shout out to listener Danny who just sent me

624
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 4: he's calling them the broadstronauts.

625
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: All right for many variations.

626
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 4: I I just again to being self aware. How do

627
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 4: you not take how do you not say? Look, all

628
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 4: I did was go parride. It was really cool. I'm

629
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 4: honored that I got to be on the list. It's

630
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 4: one of the coolest things I've ever got to do.

631
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 4: But I mean, I'm not an astronaut.

632
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: How do you not say that?

633
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,240
