We got this text. 4 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: I'm one hundred and fifty pounds and I eat six 5 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: prunes with my breakfast cereal every morning. Yeah, clearly I'm 6 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: not enough. I started at one. I've upped at one 7 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: per day to try to get to where I want 8 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: to be. I'll leave it unsaid, and I'm going to 9 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: get three yesterday no results, So I'll go to four today. 10 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: But I'm way one ninety, so it's probably gonna require 11 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: more than that. Yeah. 12 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 2: I'm not an expert in prunes and their curative powers, 13 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: but yeah, one seems like a paltry dosage. 14 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: They are so disgusting. No wonder they get mocked in sitcoms. 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: My Whole life Crazy tried prune juice? Would that work 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: the same?

I may have suggested earlier in the show 53 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: that the little boy should go to a baseball game 54 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: with a real man. 55 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: And dad can attend a fashion show.

It's a kid's birthday. Dad gets a 61 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: home run ball, gives his this ball on his birthday, 62 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: and they've. 63 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: Never gotten a ball at a ball game before. It 64 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: was the first. It was the miracle. 65 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: Crazy woman comes yells at him. He recoils with his 66 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: hands shaking from this woman yelling at him like a 67 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: sitcom character and just says, all right, take the ball, 68 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: leave us long. God, I don't know, I'd have to 69 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: move to a different country and change my name. I 70 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: feel like if this was me and that was a 71 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: viral video. 72 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: We played some cliffs of Fox News Bill Malugin talking 73 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: to the guy earlier, in which Mallugiin was very, very 74 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: gentle and understanding and granted this guy was not the 75 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: bad guy who initiated the ugliness. I just don't appreciate 76 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: his response, but I'm curious how CBS News approached it. 77 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: We'll start with the first clip there. 78 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 3: Michael Blincoln Feltwell has been a Philadelphia Phillies super fan 79 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 3: since he was bored. He's celebrating an unforgettable tenth birthday 80 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 3: for all the. 81 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: Right and wrong reasons. Sometimes you need that resimple. 82 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 3: Vader just on it's Friday night watching in the stance, 83 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 3: his now favorite player on his favorite teams had just 84 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 3: hit a hole and Andrew, his dad got that baseball. 85 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 4: When I put that ball on his glove, I felt 86 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 4: like I accomplished something great. 87 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 3: The magic lasted just a few seconds. A woman started 88 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 3: berating Feltwell cleaning the ball was hurt. 89 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 4: Just screaming in my face, like vulgar curse words in 90 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 4: front of my kids. So I just decided to give 91 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 4: her the ball and get it over with. 92 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: She's a lunatic. So not only was his birthday his 93 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: favorite player on his favorite team, Wow, Well. 94 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: And in the you know, I'll just let him speak 95 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 2: for himself. Let's skip to thirty four Michael, then we'll 96 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 2: go back to the clips in order. 97 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, you ultimately decided to give her that ball back. 98 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 5: And I've been reading some of the interviews you've done. 99 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 5: You want to, you know, teach your son a lesson 100 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 5: on de escalation, which I think is a great lesson 101 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 5: to teach these days. Do you have any regrets about 102 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 5: giving it back to word though, No, I think the 103 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 5: world could use a little extra de escalation. 104 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 4: Everything so tense. The world is pretty crazy, and I 105 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 4: didn't want to do anything like that in front of 106 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 4: my son or on camera. It was tough giving the 107 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 4: ball back, but it ended that situation. 108 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, go ahead, that's enough. So yanking the ball 109 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: out of your kids, mit and giving it to the bully, 110 00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: That's how you're going to make the world a better 111 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 2: place ethic, And it. 112 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: Did end it, Yes, if the bully says, give me 113 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: your lunch money and you give it to him, it 114 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: does end it. You're right until the next time, obviously. 115 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's let's get back to CBS because 116 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: it takes a nice turn. 117 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 3: It's what happened next that made a bad situation beautiful Lincoln. 118 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 3: Lincoln and his dad were invited to meet Harrison Bader, 119 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: who sunning. 120 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: The bat for him. What was it like for you 121 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: to get the bat? It was really really cool, just 122 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: even me and him. And then the final flip, Michael. 123 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 4: I kind of refuse to take any involvement in bashing her. 124 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 4: The internet is taking care of that situation by itself. 125 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 4: I don't want to be that person in front of 126 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 4: my kids. 127 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Yeah, that's an interesting thing. Uh. Like 128 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: I've said, I could see if I was by myself, 129 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: because I don't really give a crap if I got 130 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: a baseball or not. If I'm by myself, Hey, cool, 131 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: I got a ball and this crazy idiot comes over 132 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: and just keeps screaming. I hear go. I might do that, 133 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: but setting an example for my son, No way I 134 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: would be rolling around on the steps with her in 135 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: a fight before I'm gonna give her the ball back 136 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: just because she says I should. 137 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: What hell, I rarely go to a game. I don't 138 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: end up in a fight with a middle aged woman 139 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: and he's nothing to me. Yeah, I know, And you 140 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: know you could argue I'm trying to. I always like to, 141 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: you know, test my arguments. If I were gonna argue 142 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: against me, I would say Jesus probably would have told 143 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: him give her the ball. Then doctor Keith, who is 144 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: that what Jesus said? And docs her on the internet exactly, 145 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 2: call her employer no, and trust in. 146 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: The Lord. 147 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: And then the result of all this is the kid 148 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 2: gets to meet his favorite player, he gets the bat. 149 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 2: There's some company that's given the boy in Camping World 150 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 2: Impressed Dad. Camping Worlds has given the boy in his 151 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: quasi Dad World series tickets. 152 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: So you could make the argument, oh jeez, that that 153 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. 154 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 2: I feel like drop us a note mail bag at 155 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: Armstrong in giddy dot com.

That 160 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: was too far. I'll reconsider my words. Uh so the 161 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: internet has gone after her though, like the ruin in 162 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: her life, which good. She's a bad person or she's 163 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: probably nuts, but. 164 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, probably nuts and utterly unf familiar with the dynamics 165 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 2: of when a ball is in the stands well, the 166 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 2: first person to get a firm grasp. 167 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: On it owns it. Until then it's anybody's ball. Well, 168 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: and that aside. Again, I'm by myself. I might give 169 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: the ball, probably would to the ten year old on 170 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: his birthday, because I'm a grown up. I don't need 171 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: a ball. 172 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, actually, that's that's always my plan. I'm gonna 173 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 2: find some cute little kid near me and give them ball. 174 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: God, that's weak. So she's there yelling at dad in 175 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: front of his kids. I mean, she's a lunatic, a 176 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: complete lune, which I guess is part of his argument. 177 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: She is demonstrating that she's a loon. So I was 178 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: just trying to get it to go away. I would 179 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: not have done what he did. But all right, again, 180 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna test my argument. 181 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: If she had the eyes of the maniac, and it 182 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 2: would have been an ugly situation where dad is forced 183 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: to put a woman's lights out to protect himself and 184 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 2: his son. 185 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: Would that be traumatizing enough for the boy? Hmmm? Now, 186 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: I couldn't have made myself. I couldn't have made myself 187 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: give the ball back in front of my son. I 188 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: just couldn't have It's too emasculating. Take it out of 189 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: his mint, wow, and give it back to her. Wow. Again. 190 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna need your man card, Philly Karen. Sorry, she 191 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: might actually have to change your name all, but it's 192 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: been pretty rough for her. 193 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: I assume people have figured out who yes, yes, because 194 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: they've gone after employer and friends of it at all. 195 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: Yeah.

Podcast is going to be interesting today? 221 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: Will tell you about that among other things. On the 222 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: way stay here. 223 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 6: Actor Charlie Sheen has set to release his new memoir, 224 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 6: though there's a good chance that what you already know 225 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,479 Speaker 6: about Charlie Sheen is more than he remembers. 226 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, Charlie Sheen wrote a memoir And there's a Netflix 227 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: special documentary interview thingy. We've got some clips from an 228 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: interview he did with Good Morning America that we'll use 229 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: in the One More Thing podcast that I thought was 230 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: actually kind of interesting about how his dad intervened and 231 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: how off the rails he was, and EA sne pretty 232 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: off the rails. I thought, I distinctly remember a Friday 233 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,599 Speaker 1: where I predicted Charlie Sheen will be dead when we 234 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: come back on Monday, because I thought that's what was 235 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: gonna happen. If you don't remember that whole crazy period 236 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: CBS pull out about Trump's tariffs. It's all about how 237 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: you ask the question. I don't know exactly how they 238 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: worded the question, but I don't think it's probably far 239 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: off of this sixty one percent of people oppose new tariffs. 240 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: Of course, if you barely pay attention to you ha 241 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: to take in through mainstream media, it's all negative reporting, 242 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: So how would you come to any other conclusion. Seventy 243 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: one percent say tariffs increase prices. That's because they do, 244 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: and about two thirds say Trump's policy is increasing US 245 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: grocery prices. That's two thirds. Overall. It's only thirty one 246 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: percent of Republicans that say that, although that's a fairly 247 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: high number given the fact that he has a about 248 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: a ninety percent approval riting among Republicans. It'll be one 249 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: little indication, maybe today when Apple has their big always 250 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: in September unveiling of new products, the new iPhone seventeen. 251 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: If there's a big jumpin price because of tariffs, that 252 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: will be the new story out of the Apple thing. 253 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: That will that will obliterate anything about the new camera 254 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: or anything on the iPhone, if it's all about look 255 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: what the tariffs did to the cost of an iPhone. 256 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, groceries is interesting. I would think most of that 257 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 2: would be indirect costs rising, although I guess we import 258 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: the fair amount of produce from Mexico. But I think 259 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: it'll show itself in consumer goods more than groceries. 260 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: But I'd rather sick. 261 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 2: I've continued to predict that we will really feel this 262 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: in October and November. 263 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: Whatever is going to happen. It's right before Christmas. 264 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, well, and the soups are going to take 265 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 2: a look at it too. Amy Coney Barrett's making the 266 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 2: rounds these days, but she didn't even as I recall, 267 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 2: she's not even sure it's on the schedule yet. But 268 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: they'll be dealing with it at some point, speaking of 269 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: governments and finance and that sort of thing. 270 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: I was just we talked a great deal earlier. 271 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: About France, how the government is a parliamentary system, but 272 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: the government has collapsed and they're kicking out yet another 273 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: prime minister because the guy said, look, we're spending ourselves 274 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: to death. We've got to roll back programs. We've got 275 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: to cut our or just keep our spending at the 276 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: current level. We can't grow it anymore. We are going 277 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 2: to go completely broke. And for that he was heaved 278 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 2: out on his. 279 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: Ear and his speech he said, you can get rid 280 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: of me, but you can't. You can change me, but 281 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: you can't change reality, which is a great parting shot. Meanwhile, 282 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: in formerly socialist peronas to Argentina, where Javier and Milat 283 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: has been working such miracles by using the free market 284 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: all the people who are benefiting from the socialism, whether 285 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: it's the fat cats or just the people who'd gotten 286 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: used to the government handouts. In spite of the incredible 287 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: success of that, some. 288 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: There was a big like the off year election and 289 00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: the Kirchnerist Party, that's the old socialist guys, did really 290 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: well in some of their provincial elections, and the market 291 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: has gone into a free fall. In Argentina, the Argentine 292 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 2: currency collapsed against the dollar. Investors are panicking because they 293 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 2: fear the win means a return to heavy government spending, 294 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: money printing, less market friendly policies. Uh, the economy might 295 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: just plots because the economy and people who like our 296 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 2: free market guys see the return of the socialist guys 297 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 2: as just an utter disaster. It is so hard once 298 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: you get people addicted to the heroine of socialism. 299 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: Man, well, they shake and they sweat. 300 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: And they and they crap themselves and they puke a lot. 301 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: To get them off of the heroin of socialism. It's 302 00:16:52,360 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: amazing and troubling. Crap themselves, it happens. Maybe one less prune. Yeah, 303 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: don't do drugs, kids, and don't do socialism either. 304 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: But the kids slap it up. 305 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 2: When you know, Mamdani the Kami makes his lovely promises. 306 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: They got a focus group of Trump supporters going on 307 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: on CNN right now around the whole Epstein thing. Oh goodness, 308 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: what a couple of them said, are kind of interesting. 309 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: Among other things, on the way Armstrong and Getty, the 310 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: internet doesn't always get it right, but sometimes it does. 311 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: The karma on this Philadelphia Karen woman Woo, that is 312 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: a heap and helping dose of internet karma. I mean, 313 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: all of the mean goodness that can exist in the 314 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: world is directed at that woman, and she deserves it. 315 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: She's a horrible human being or nuts or something. She's 316 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: clearly crazy. So a couple updates on a few things 317 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: before we get to the latest polling on Mamdani the Kami, 318 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: which is soon per interesting just out like the last hour. So, 319 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: Israel targeted Hamasa's senior leadership in a strike in Katar. 320 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: In Doha, Qatar, a major modern city. They hit with 321 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: missiles in a residential building where they believed they took 322 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: out some of the leadership of a MAAS and NETANYAHUO 323 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: just put out a joint statement saying that he had 324 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: full support of the entire Israeli war cabinet. Everybody was 325 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: on board with this because of not only do the 326 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: leaders of a MOSS still say yeah, we were behind 327 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: October seventh, two years ago, and we hope to do 328 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: it again. They took responsibility yesterday from that attack two 329 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: days ago, and I put it. I thought that might 330 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: just be a nut job on his own. But they 331 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: took a responsibility for that and said, yeah, we're all 332 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: in favor and we hope there's more. And so Netanyah said, okay, 333 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: well that's enough of you. And those people who said 334 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: that might be dead now. 335 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 2: And it became infinitely clear that the so called peace 336 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: process doesn't exist. Saw this headline in the New York Times, 337 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 2: ridiculous Israeli strikes targets, strike targets Moss leadership in Qatar. 338 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 2: The e Gulf nation of Qatar has been trying to 339 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 2: negotiate a ceasefire in the conflict. The attack threatens to 340 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 2: destabilize those peace efforts. 341 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: How much? What a bunch of crap that is? Really? 342 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: You know, it's most destabilizing to the effort the fact 343 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: that Hamas is still attacking and refusing to give back 344 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: it hostages. Good lord, all right, there's that story. CNN 345 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: just had a little focused group of hardcore Trump supporters 346 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: talking about the Epstein thing, and I just saw a 347 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: woman up there saying the biggest disappointment to her of 348 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: Trump being reelected is that that he's helping covering up 349 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: the Epstein thing. This gets to what you're always talking about. 350 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: They are talking about CNN and the person asking the 351 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: question are talking about a completely different Epstein story than 352 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: that woman is that woman is talking about. I guarantee 353 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: I don't know this, but I guarantee you she's talking 354 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: about the child trafficking sex ring that she thinks is 355 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: in the Epstein files and that Trump isn't releasing because 356 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't exist. CNN is asking about the Epstein files 357 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: that are about who Epstein flew on the plane with 358 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff. They're talking about two different. 359 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 2: Things, right and some people are talking about, was Epstein 360 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 2: the only guy who is touching underage girls? 361 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: Let's see the list. 362 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 2: It says, you know, they're like eleven different variations, but 363 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 2: everybody just says the Epstein files or the Epstein thing. 364 00:20:54,240 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: Right now, This pulled just out on Zorn Mamdani, the 365 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: communist probably going to be mayor of New York City. 366 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:12,239 Speaker 1: Thank you for pronouncing it correctly, Mandani. He continues to 367 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 1: have a giant lead at forty six percent of New 368 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: York City likely voters, almost half in second place scumbag 369 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo at twenty four so roughly half the support, 370 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: and then it drops way down to single digits for 371 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: a bunch of people you probably don't know. But you 372 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: break it down by different demographics. Men and women fairly 373 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: evenly split. Age, not surprising. The communist has three quarters 374 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: of the young people wow, eighteen to twenty nine, but 375 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: he has a third of sixty five plus. You are 376 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: old enough to know better, and a third of sixty 377 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: five plus are willing to vote for the communist. Break 378 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: it down by race, it's about forty some percent of white, 379 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: forty some percent of black, forty percent of Hispanic, then 380 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: seventy percent of other. What do you have left after white, 381 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: Black and Hispanic, tion and whoever else? Russian? It's European. 382 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: Break down by education bothers me. Thirty percent of people 383 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: that no college degree thirty percent, that's his lowest number, 384 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: sixty percent of people that went to college. Wanna you 385 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: should be smart enough as a college graduate to not 386 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: vote for a communist. Of course, you had communist professors 387 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: who convince you that communism is a good idea. 388 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 2: Well, that's what college is now. It's like, you know, 389 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: school exists mostly to indoctrinate the kids into progressive thinking. 390 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 2: In colleges too, they will teach you engineering on the side. 391 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 2: If you're in that program, and you'll probably learn a 392 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 2: little something about whatever topic you're you know, studying, but 393 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 2: you're mostly there to be indoctrinated. 394 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: And you break it down by the Burroughs, because you're 395 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: a mayor of all of these areas. He gets thirty 396 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: six percent in Brooklyn, or fifty percent in Brooklyn, thirty 397 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: six percent in the Bronze thirty eight percent Queens, twenty 398 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: six percent of an island. None of that matters Manhattan. 399 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: It's almost sixty percent. Wow. The most monumental gleaming testament 400 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: to free market capitalism that exists on Earth. Really New 401 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: York City, where Wall Street is located, sixty percent of 402 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: the people who live there want a communist zort run 403 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: Mondnie right. 404 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 2: You know. For the millionth time, I'll make a reference 405 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 2: to the book The Myth of the Rational Voter, because 406 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 2: the premise of the book is that in economic issues, 407 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 2: topics like rent control is a good one, or greedy 408 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 2: corporations shouldn't make a profit, there wouldn't be crime if 409 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: there weren't cops, all right, But in economic discussions people 410 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 2: get it wrong in ways that are far beyond chance. 411 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 2: The misperception of what rent control would do, for instance, 412 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: is much more common among the average voter than the 413 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 2: correct perception of what it would do. Again, in a 414 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 2: way that's way beyond the numbers that are way beyond chance. 415 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: For some reason, the average person who hasn't thought about 416 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 2: it much, hasn't studied it, hasn't been taught, gets economics 417 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 2: wrong a lot. And that's what we're seeing with Mundani 418 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 2: when mam, dam me me Ni, Sorry, I got your 419 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 2: name wrong, so Ron, And it's troubling that that lie, 420 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 2: that scam can be sold over and over again to 421 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 2: each new generation and to that thirty percent of soft 422 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 2: heads who just never wise up. 423 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: In their zorn man Donie. Now, I did hear a 424 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: smart person say I remember it was one of your 425 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: smart like a David Axelrod or somebody smart Democrat who 426 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: understands this stuff. And he's not a Mum Danny fan. 427 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: But his thing was that it's kind of similar to Trump, 428 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: and that, like Trump was addressing the issues people cared about, 429 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: we gotta do something about the freaking border. And maybe 430 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: you thought as a Trump supporter then and now he 431 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: goes too far, he says things too strong, But at 432 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: least he does something about it that that might be 433 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: what's happening with Mom Donny. He's just saying the rent's 434 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: too high. Nobody can afford this rent. It's too damn 435 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: And he might not like his solutionary you think he 436 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: goes too far, but he's the only one that's like 437 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: really saying this can't continue. Oh, I would put it 438 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: more strongly. 439 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 2: He's offering solutions that are exactly the opposite of the solutions. 440 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 2: But I think Axelrode makes a great point. It's a 441 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: really good point. 442 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta grab people by the issues they 443 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: care about, and you know, convince them that you actually 444 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: care about them too. 445 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 2: It reminds me of that conspiracy silence in Europe that 446 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 2: we've been talking about on and off, where the major 447 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 2: parties literally in some cases agreed that we won't talk 448 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 2: about immigration, right, let's just pretend it's not at the 449 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 2: root of these problems, and it drove people into the 450 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 2: arms of like the AfD in Germany and Nigel Farag's 451 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 2: party in England and Marine La Penn and her handsome 452 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 2: protege in France. If you don't address people's actual concerns, yeah, 453 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 2: they will go elsewhere. 454 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: For their solutions. It's breaking news everywhere that Cracker Barrel 455 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: is not going to remodel their restaurants. Oh my god, 456 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: this story, I know it well. I don't were you 457 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: here or not.

Did you hear my crack stories? 459 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: I've heard some Cracker bears. I don't think you did 460 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: from my trip to Kansas and Iowa. Did you hear those? 461 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: I don't know if the takeo the key takeaway. I 462 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: think I did well. First of all, that we had 463 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: to wait so long to get in because clearly they 464 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: got like eight billion dollars worth of free advertising. But 465 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: none of the people in my group, all of us 466 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: who had eaten a Cracker Barrel so many times, could 467 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: have told you at all that there was some dude 468 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 1: on the logo. 469 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 2: None of us, right, Yeah, it's not like he was 470 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 2: a beloved character that meant so much to our childhoods. 471 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: None of us could have told you. 472 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 2: Oh, there's a guy removing this statue of Lincoln because 473 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 2: he wasn't woken off right. 474 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: All right, we'd all said, all said when we heard 475 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: it first. But there's a guy, I'm a logo I 476 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: don't know. I've never looked at the logo. It's just 477 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: kind of a hard to even tell what it was. 478 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: Something there next to the name Cracker bear right, yeah, money, 479 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: and it got turned into the you're taking called Jesse 480 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 1: or Harold or whatever his name is off a logo 481 00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: how dare you? 482 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 2: And well how it evolved is interesting, and you know, 483 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: I haven't spent a lot of time on it, but 484 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 2: the perception that it was some sort of woke, politically 485 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 2: correct thing, that they were remodeling the Cracker barrels and 486 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 2: changing the look of the restaurants and you know, the 487 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 2: logo and stuff, and I'm not sure that it was. 488 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: I'm not sure it was either.

You know we should 510 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: have redone the story about the nation's report card that 511 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: came out today and how our seniors can't read or 512 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: do math, and it's worse. It keeps getting worse, down 513 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: ten points since nineteen ninety two in terms of proficiency 514 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: for reading. I think it was, but that's just stunning. 515 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 2: COVID accelerated the decline, but it was declining before and 516 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 2: has continued to decline after. 517 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: I mean, look at the chart, and it doesn't look 518 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: like it didn't. Wasn't that far out of where we 519 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: were at it anyway. 520 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 2: Nope, And everybody knows why. Anybody who's paying attention knows why. 521 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 2: But people aren't willing to do anything about it. We 522 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 2: talked about that at fair length our two of the 523 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 2: show is that right, Yeah, our two. If you missed it, 524 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 2: subscribe you ought to subscribe to Armstrong and getting on demand. 525 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 2: It included a discussion of let's see where is that. 526 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 2: I think I may have closed the window already. Oh no, 527 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 2: there is absolutely brilliant work done by the economist Roland 528 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 2: Fryar literally came up with formula to turn around failing schools, 529 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 2: implemented it, and it was stunningly successful public schools in Houston. 530 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 2: It took a lot of getting rid of administrators and 531 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 2: teachers who were just union hacks, but it worked beautifully 532 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 2: and successfully, and nobody has any interest in it because 533 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 2: schools are now a jobs program. They're not an educational 534 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 2: institution anymore. They're a jobs program. 535 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: I want to touch on this before we get done. 536 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: Trump met with some of his European counterparts yesterday to 537 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: discuss the whole Russia Ukraine thing, and, according to reporting 538 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: from someone who was in the meeting and spoke on 539 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: condition of anonymity said that Trump is willing to exert 540 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: significant actions to end the war, but expects full cooperation 541 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: from the European partners in whatever actions are taken. The 542 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: meeting was only two hours long. Need for collective action 543 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: and whatever is determined on sanctions and how to manage 544 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: blah blah. But Trump seems to be all in as 545 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: long as you guys are doing it too, not buying oil. 546 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: You're gonna have the tariffs like we are. We're all 547 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,959 Speaker 1: gonna stick with this. I'm in. That's what this reporting is. 548 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: So that is not unreasonable. No, it's not absolutely not, 549 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: But man, the heavy hammer of economic samption sanctions might 550 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: be coming down soon. Yeah. Yeah, he's gonna call him out. 551 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: Is messed up. He's gonna call him out if they 552 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: don't stick with it too and not let him slide 553 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: back during when we'd put these heavy sanctions on SAT 554 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: and was saying before we went in, France would be 555 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: behind the back doing all kinds of stuff with a RAQ. 556 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: You're so called friend. That's why I call him freedom Fries. 557 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,959 Speaker 1: You know that's reasonable. I uh. 558 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 2: I had a conversation the other day with a friend 559 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 2: who we were talking about a mutual friend who speaks 560 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 2: pretty fluent French, and he really enjoyed being in France. 561 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 2: And we are talking the inevitable conversation about how Americans, 562 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 2: most of us are mono lingual and it's a shame. 563 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 2: And you know, look at the Europeans. They know multiple languages. 564 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 2: It's because they have to. And honestly, if Euros lived 565 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 2: in a giant, prosperous country that was surrounded by gigantic oceans, 566 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 2: you know, on both sides, they wouldn't know any languages either. Now, 567 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 2: and you know, it's true, because it's kind of cool 568 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 2: and fun to be able to speak multiple languages. But 569 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 2: the upsides of the Atlantic in the Pacific keeping all 570 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 2: those people away from us dwarf the downsides by about 571 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 2: fifty thousand to one. 572 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: All Right, that whole you know, multiple languages, good for you. 573 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it's necessity, the fact that it's an immediate 574 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: sign of sophistication and intelligence. 575 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 7: Whatever, Go away, admit me chorus to this history, Yes, prologue, 576 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 7: like your humble patients, prey gently to hear, kindly, to 577 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 7: judge the final thoughts of Armstrong and Getty. 578 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: Add some class craft there, here's your host for final thoughts, 579 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: Joe getting look at.
