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 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty and now he Armstrong and Eddy.

4
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 3: Ice.

5
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 4: They need more people, so they're having a big recruitment program,

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 4: no age limit.

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: Now.

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 4: They announced this week also a signing BTUs. You have

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars signing btis you could put a porch

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 4: on your house for that. Good luck to find anyone

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 4: who could build it, but.

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: You could find it.

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a little construction going on at my place,

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 3: and I've got to admit, if there was a raid,

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: I'd be afraid.

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: About the rate of progress going forward.

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: Gotcha, Although I have no idea, and I've actually talked

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: to I've talked to a number of construction pros, not

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: only recently but through the years, and they all say

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: roughly the same thing. That my guys all have paperwork

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: that I think is in order my subcontractor. The head

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: guy's a really good guy, and he says the same

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: thing to me.

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: But I have no idea.

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 3: And then as you go down the line, I mean,

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: just the rigor of checking people and what's the incentive

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: is there? Are no significant distances to be rigorous about

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: checking the paperwork in. Just since you brought that up,

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: the Centers for Immigration Studies put out the latest Daddy yesterday,

30
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: an unprecedented two point two million person decline in total

31
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: foreign born or immigrant population between January and July of

32
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: this year. Two point two million less illegals in this

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: country in six months.

34
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: Did they all flee back home? That's the assumption. Huh.

35
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: I would like to deport about that number they self deported.

36
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: It's possible.

37
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 3: Anyway, more than we've we've we haven't even touched on

38
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: perhaps the biggest story of the week or month, Taylor

39
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: Swift's giant announcement yesterday. Many soccer moms and some soccer

40
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: dads I've known who care a lot about this. We

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: need to promise to get to that next segment. Many

42
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 3: soccer daughters as well, and sons. And that's fine, son,

43
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 3: Your mom and I loved you very much, no matter

44
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 3: what orientations.

45
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: Disappointed out of the will.

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: So speaking of young people, we'll get to this later on.

47
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: Meet the parents raising carnivore babies, babies that they feed

48
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: only meat and protein too.

49
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: It's the latest trend. You should know about Jack.

50
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 3: I think I was confronted before the show today getting

51
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: ready with at least three different trends I needed to

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 3: know about if I might one hundred fing weirdos online

53
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 3: is not a trend. Neither is a thousand. Really, neither

54
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: is ten thousand. We're a country of three hundred and

55
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: forty million people, never mind the fact that it's a

56
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 3: global village. There is no idea so stupid lunatic, just

57
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: kind of specialized that you can't get ten thousand people

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 3: around the world to say I'm totally into this too,

59
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: and then I have to hear about it, whether it's

60
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: the Jujub's or what was the name of those dopey

61
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: dolls yesterday, Lulu la Hulu's, Zuzu's boo boos?

62
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: Was it boululus? What is it? Katie?

63
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: You got lollapaloozas, so clus la booboos la booboos, right

64
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: to lollapaloozas. I just think I think you could argue

65
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 3: that even if a million people are doing something, it's

66
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: not a trend. I need to hear about, h arguably

67
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: why a million people are into something?

68
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: Who cares? Right?

69
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: Right? But anyway, this whole carnivore baby thing. We'll talk

70
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: about that, carnivore babies. What is your goal?

71
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll stay tuned. I don't even have the energy.

72
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: Maybe I need to eat more meat.

73
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: Anyway, there are all sorts of stuff, all sorts of

74
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: things we could talk about, but just at least briefly,

75
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: a little feature ed I'd like to call ai oh no, what.

76
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 2: Did you say? This is called? It's called ai oh no? Wow.

77
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: I like that.

78
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: It's got It tells you what the topic is and

79
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: then denotes a sense of.

80
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: Urgency, right and foreboding.

81
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, that's what I was going for so first

82
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: of all, and I wasn't even gonna include this, but

83
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,119
Speaker 3: it's kind of stuck in the back of my mind.

84
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: Is a think piece I think it was in the

85
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: Free Press talking about the appeal of socialism these days,

86
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: and how you know, we've turned out a couple of

87
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: generations of youngsters who are absolutely you know, indoctrinated, brainwashed

88
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: into thinking, you know, the Western world's bad and capitalism

89
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: is bad and collectivism and.

90
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. We all know all the whole woke thing,

91
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: the whole critical theory thing. And then they point out.

92
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: You combine that with a future in which the very

93
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: first jobs and job prospects that are going to disappear

94
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 3: because of AI are whitish, color ishes, sort of needed

95
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: a college degree, but not really cubicle. I'm too upper

96
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: cross to work with my hands. I work in an

97
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 3: office type jobs. Those are going to be disappearing in droves. Wow,

98
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: among a collective of people that's already pretty enthusiastic about socialism,

99
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: and how about how capitalism is stacked against the people

100
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: and it only serves the few, and blah blah blah,

101
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: and and they you know, they said to the obvious

102
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: Mamdonnie and other people.

103
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: But it's going to get harder and harder.

104
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: I think to stand on the beach and turn back

105
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 3: that tide.

106
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that's a chance anyway.

107
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: The fabulous Peggy Noonan is writing about that and other things,

108
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 3: and she quotes a piece by the writer John Ellis,

109
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: who's been on the AI story for years, and she says,

110
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: brings an interesting combination of common sense and imagination to

111
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: the available information on his sub stack. He argued that quote,

112
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 3: the overwhelming force of AI is bearing down on the

113
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: job market people. He says can see it coming, and

114
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: yet quote, I drive up and down Old Post Road

115
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 3: in Fairfield County almost every day.

116
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: I happen to know that road very well.

117
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: What I do I pass office buildings and storefronts that

118
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 3: are the workplaces of insurance brokers, local and regional bankers,

119
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: mortgage brokers, lawyers, accountants, consultants, marketers, real estate agents, etc.

120
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 3: And what I think about all those people as I

121
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: passed them by, is this, The companies they work for

122
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: will employ ten to twenty five percent fewer of them

123
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 3: in probably two years, maybe.

124
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: Three twenty five percent fewer in a couple of years.

125
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: That's that's major.

126
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: And what those people do for a living will be

127
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 3: done by AI, interestingly enough, and it's worth mentioning the

128
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,119
Speaker 3: other side of the coin. This same writer offers Microsoft's

129
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: Microsoft's lists of twenty professions AI likely won't touch include

130
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: flora sanders and finishers, roofers, motor boat operators, rodeo click operating,

131
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: motor rodeo clowns. No, No, absolutely safe from AI. Massage

132
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: therapists and pile driver operators. Ah how to operate a

133
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: motor boat or operate a pile driver? I just don't know,

134
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: that's what I should have gotten into. Anyway, I thought

135
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: that was interesting. Then you have this story. AI is

136
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: forcing the return of the in person job interview. Virtual

137
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 3: interviews have become the new Norman hiring in recent years,

138
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: driven by the rise of remote work. Companies desire to

139
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: speed up hiring. The problem is more candidates are using

140
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: AI tools to cheat by feeding them answers off screen.

141
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't they got your screen going then one right

142
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: over there, right by the camera, so it looks like

143
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 3: they're looking at you, but they're looking at the answers

144
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: to the questions. And if you're interviewing people for like

145
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: coding jobs or technical jobs especially, they can substitute, you know,

146
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: the AI thing for any level of knowledge that they have.

147
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 3: Of course, I suppose you could argue, we'll just have

148
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 3: them bring that to work then and they'll get the

149
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: job done, right, But they mentioned Cisco, McKinsey, Google are

150
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: doing in person interviews now, partly for the reason I

151
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: gave it, and partly.

152
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: Because now you've got the what do you call it?

153
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: I can't remember the specific technology, but the technology that

154
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 3: like North Korean scammers are using to impersonate other people.

155
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 3: They change their face, they change their voice in real time,

156
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 3: they interview remotely, and then they they're not at all deep.

157
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: Fake videos and audios. That's what I was looking for.

158
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: And they're swindlers and they end up getting the jobs,

159
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 3: and so the in person interview. But what do you

160
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 3: do on you get the job? What do you do

161
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: once you get the job if you're not qualified? Or

162
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 3: are companies want to avoid sending cash to North Koreans

163
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: who are working illegally because they don't want to be

164
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 3: party to it. In a survey of three thousand job

165
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 3: seekers by research advisory group Gartner this year, six percent

166
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: said they had participated in interview fraud, either posing as

167
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 3: somebody else or having someone stand.

168
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: In for them. Wow.

169
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: And Gartner predicted that by twenty twenty eight, one in

170
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: four job candidate profiles worldwide will be fake. One in four.

171
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 3: It's just too tempting. It's like the kids using AI

172
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: to help them write their high school report. It's just

173
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: right there. And as soon as you're hear about it,

174
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: you think I got to do this, Yes, sir, can

175
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: I throw in my one AI?

176
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: Oh story? AI? Oh? No, Well that's right, what it is?

177
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: I don't know?

178
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, woman gets engaged to AI fiance after five months. Oh,

179
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: you really should get to know your AI fiance better.

180
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: Five months is pretty quick, but you know, if you're

181
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 3: in love, you're in love.

182
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: I was gonna go.

183
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: With I feel like I'm going crazy chat GPT fuels delusional.

184
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: Spirals, but your sounds more fun. Proceed.

185
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: Woman gets engaged to AI fiance after five months and

186
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: insists she's fully aware of what she's doing. What I

187
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 3: couldn't tell from reading the interview And the only reason

188
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 3: I bring this to you is I couldn't tell if

189
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 3: it was just somebody trying to get attention online or

190
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 3: just absolutely completely nutty. She fell in love with an

191
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: AI bot, and we've heard about this sort of thing

192
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: so well. I was sure what getting engaged means. Did

193
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: the freaking AI bot proposed to her might have?

194
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: Wow? Wow, what an intriguing question.

195
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, this person is either an

196
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: attention horror or a crazy person. I would ask you,

197
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: why do you need to get engaged to the AI?

198
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: So I'll show you.

199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: You know, if you if you give the milk away,

200
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: the cow is free or whatever. The whole thing. I

201
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: don't think that's it exactly yeah, yeah, I don't like.

202
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: I don't think the AI is going to date other

203
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: people unless you make it clear.

204
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: So are we exclusive at this? I don't even get

205
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: what that means.

206
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 3: And when you quote unquote, you know, tie the knot

207
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: you actually get married, because it's not clear to me

208
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 3: is this a short engagement or a long one? When

209
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: you actually tie the knot? How has that changed anything?

210
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 3: So I suggested a few minutes ago that if my

211
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 3: son were really into Taylor Swift, I'd leave him out

212
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: of the will.

213
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 2: Do you have a.

214
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: Will and trust that takes care of this sort of situation?

215
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: Maybe write exactly an estate plan. Maybe you need a will,

216
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: maybe you actually need a trust. But you can create

217
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 3: and manage a customer state plan according to your needs

218
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 3: starting at one hundred and ninety nine dollars yep. Each

219
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: will or trust is state specific and customize to all

220
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 3: your needs and the laws and all that sort of stuff.

221
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: You can avoid so many headaches that could come your

00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,800

237
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: wanted to show you something.

238
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,240

Speaker 5: This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirls.

242
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 3: So that was Taylor Swift on the Kelsey Brothers podcast yesterday,

243
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: which is very popular with Travis and his brother what's

244
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: his brother's name? Nobody's sure Taylor and very popular podcast,

245
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 3: and Taylor Swift announced a new album which is a

246
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: really big deal. And if you're you know, not as Swiftian,

247
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: rolling your eyes to that. Do you remember the economic

248
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 3: impact her concert appearances made in cities all across the world.

249
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: It is a big deal if she comes to your

250
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 3: city promoting her album for your restaurants, for your hotels,

251
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: for your clothing stores, for your everything. And she's got

252
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: a new album she announced yesterday.

253
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 2: Excellent, I will plan accordingly.

254
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, is uh, Travis Kelsey?

255
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: Is he spent enough time focused on the plan for

256
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs this year?

257
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 3: Is he still a little too into the hole being

258
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 3: a celebrity of the podcast and Dayton Dalor Swift as

259
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: a Chiefs fan.

260
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering. I have no idea he would be

261
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: famous if it wasn't for Taylor Swift.

262
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 3: Right, Andrew Cuomo thinks he's found an angle for taking

263
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: on the communist Mumdanni there for mayor in New York City.

264
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: And I don't know if this is gonna work or not,

265
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 3: but this is his latest angle. So Mumdannie has been

266
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 3: bragging apparently for a long time, all through his campaign

267
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 3: and on the stump and st like that about he

268
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: how he only he and his wife only paid twenty

269
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: three hundred dollars a month in rent in New York

270
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: because they've got it's not rent controlled. What's the other

271
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 3: term for something like that. It's a slightly different version,

272
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 3: but the same sort of thing where you're you as

273
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 3: the landlord. You're not allowed to use the free market

274
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: to decide what the rent is. And he brags about

275
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: that all the time. And Andrew Cuomo's going after him

276
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 3: for Hey, you have well I'll read what he has

277
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 3: been tweeting out lately. Somewhere last night in New York City,

278
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: a single mother and her children slept at a homeless

279
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 3: shelter because you, Assemblyman Mundomni are occupying her rent control department.

280
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman.

281
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: You've had a wedding on three continents. You own property

282
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: in blah blah blah, all these different places. You make

283
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty two thousand dollars a year plus stipends.

284
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 3: That doesn't sound like a lot of money in New York.

285
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if I call you rich

286
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: in New York. But anyway, they followed the information about

287
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 3: their wedding a couple of weeks ago. Good lord, I

288
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: think it was in Dubai or someplace like that. So

289
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: there is a lot of wealth in that family somewhere.

290
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: Right.

291
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: Clearly your wife works too. No matter which way you

292
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 3: cut at, Mamdani is a rich person. You're actually very rich.

293
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 3: Yet you and your wife paid twenty three hundred dollars

294
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: a month, as you have bragged for a nice apartment

295
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: in a Storio. This should be housing for someone who

296
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 3: needs it. And Andrew Cuomo making the points that like

297
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 3: classic socialist communists sort of people, you like this sort of.

298
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: System, but you game it.

299
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: The fact that he cleaned he was African American to

300
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: get into college.

301
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: Technically it is, but we.

302
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: All know the whole the boxes for black people, not

303
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 3: for rich white kids who happened to be born in Africa.

304
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 3: And he knows that too when he checked the box

305
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: for African American. And he's found a way into this

306
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 3: rent cultrolled thing with some sort of loophole to where

307
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: he gets to do it, and he brags about it. Right,

308
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: So that is what socialists do. Yeah, absolutely true. A

309
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,239
Speaker 3: couple of things. I read a great essay the other

310
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 3: day about how he and his family seeking opportunity and freedom,

311
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 3: came to the United States and then as soon as

312
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: he was indoctrinated in college. He came out screaming that

313
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 3: we need to tear the whole thing down and turn

314
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: it into a socialist utopia, which is just unbelievably, you know,

315
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: stupid and abusive of his adoptive country. Second thing is

316
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: Cuomo's problem is Mmdonnie is doing nothing illegal. He is

317
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 3: following the laws Cuomo himself promoted and signed. That's pretty

318
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: good pushback. Yeah, so good luck. Cuomo's a piece of crap.

319
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 3: He is an absolute, one hundred percent piece of crap,

320
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: And I love you. If you only wanted to talk

321
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 3: about him as an administrator, he's a piece of crap.

322
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: But if you wanted to leave that out and only

323
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 3: talk about him as a human in his personal life,

324
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: he's an absolute piece of crap.

325
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: So I'm both ends.

326
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 5: He's one hundred percent piece of crap, and he's a

327
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 5: better choice, and he's a better choice than the socialist

328
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 5: well well, and he's the only choice to take on

329
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 5: the socialist man New York, check.

330
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: Yourself, what have you become? Good lord? What did Trump

331
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: do in DC?

332
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: Take it over the police, Armstrong and Getty.

333
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 6: I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital

334
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 6: from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse. This is

335
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 6: liberation Day in DC, and we're.

336
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: Going to take our capital back. We're taking it back

337
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: worse than squalor. That's right.

338
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: President Trump declaring the federal government is going to take

339
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: control of policing more or less in Washington, d C.

340
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 3: Citing a fairly obscure bit.

341
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: Of federal law.

342
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 3: He mentioned it like Hitler, right, sure, when he took

343
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 3: over DC, he mentioned that there is a higher murder

344
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 3: rate in DC than Mexico City, Bogota, Columbia, some of

345
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 3: the worst places on earth.

346
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 2: Presidents of those countries are like, wait what anyway, and he.

347
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 3: Went off, you know, at some length, as Trump is

348
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 3: wont to do, says we'll bring in the military if necessary.

349
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 3: Then he turned it over to US attorney, the new

350
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 3: US attorney for that area none other than Judge Janine

351
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: Janine Piro of Fox News fame.

352
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 7: I see too much violent crime being committed by young

353
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 7: punks who think that they can get together in gangs

354
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 7: and crews and beat the hell out of you or

355
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 7: anyone else. They don't care where they are. They can

356
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 7: be in DuPont Circle, but they know that we can't

357
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 7: touch them. Why because the laws are weak. I can't

358
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 7: touch you. If you're fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old

359
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 7: and you have a gun. I convict someone of shooting

360
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 7: another peron and with an illegal gun on a public

361
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 7: bus in the chest, intent to kill. I convict him,

362
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 7: and you know what, the judge gives him probation, says

363
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 7: you should go to college. We need to go after

364
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 7: the DC Council and their absurd laws. We need to

365
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 7: get rid of this concept of you know, no cash fail.

366
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 7: We need to recognize that the people who matter are

367
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 7: the law abiding citizens always.

368
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 3: That's what's always left out. As I once said in

369
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 3: a city council meeting, how about us, the taxpayers will

370
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 3: follow the rules?

371
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: Is anybody thinking about us?

372
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 3: But you know, whether it's really bad crimes like getting

373
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 3: shot in the chest, or just quality of life like

374
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 3: my town My son has been talking about because he's

375
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: out late on Friday and Saturday nights. He's a teenager,

376
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 3: and he's talking about the sketchy people that come to

377
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 3: town later at night, and he said they're from other

378
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 3: towns and it's because they know there's no police here.

379
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 3: Nobody's going to arrest you over here for doing the

380
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 3: sort of stuff you do back in your town. People

381
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 3: catch on and then and then you're just your quality

382
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 3: of life goes down along with you know, the actual crime.

383
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: Well it's all quality of life, but just just your

384
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 3: feeling of safety and normalcy goes away. So the media

385
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 3: responded as a herd, as they always do to this announcement.

386
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 3: Let's start with the fifty two, Michael, a little montage

387
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: for you.

388
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country, and what we're.

389
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 7: Seeing play out here is Donald Trump's promise to be

390
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 7: a dictator on day one.

391
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 8: Trump has seemingly never met a dictator.

392
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: He doesn't like it's some real dictator type stuff.

393
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: It This goes on for twenty more seconds, but you

394
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: got the idea, and that's just from yesterday.

395
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: Oh then, god, oh my god.

396
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: More significantly, montage number two, as bugs Bunny would pronounce it,

397
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 3: the clip fifty three, Michael, you really.

398
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 9: Did hear the president paint quite a ystopian picture of Washington,

399
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 9: d C. Saying that it was overtaken by violent gangs,

400
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 9: by bloodthirsty criminals. Using this imagery that doesn't necessarily comport

401
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 9: with a lot of people's experience in this city.

402
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 8: I think there's an ongoing argument that he's having in

403
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 8: his head with Black Lives Matter. There's an ongoing argument

404
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 8: that he's having with the questions around criminal justice reform

405
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 8: and police reform. He's going to undermine the democratic process

406
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 8: in the district.

407
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 10: He has always felt that American cities, especially those with

408
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 10: large black populations like Washington, d C, are crime ridden

409
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 10: and run by incompetent leadership.

410
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: All right, that's not exactly what I thought it was,

411
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 3: But there was an immediate, just uniform backlash that crime

412
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: is actually down in Washington, d C.

413
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: At that thirty or lows or murders her way down.

414
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 3: Every single time I heard this story about Trump one

415
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 3: the federalized DC.

416
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: Or whatever you call it, it.

417
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 3: Was accompanied by crime is actually down.

418
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 2: So a couple of responses to that number.

419
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 3: One, Yes, there was an absolutely horrific peak of crime

420
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 3: during COVID. It happened in a lot of different places,

421
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: including Washington, d C. And indeed, the murder numbers which

422
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 3: are still going to be near two hundred murders this

423
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: year in a comparatively fairly small city, which is a terrible,

424
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 3: terrible number. But yeah, they are down from the absolutely

425
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 3: horrific years of the Biden administration. But Joe Scarborough on

426
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: Morning Joe and once in a while, old Joe kind

427
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 3: of recovers who he used to be a moderate realist. Well,

428
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 3: they tempted him with money and he went for the check.

429
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: I get it. But go ahead and with forty three

430
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 2: Michael in, we'll play the next one.

431
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 11: I don't care what the crime statistics say. Crime has

432
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 11: been a problem in.

433
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 2: This city for the thirty two years.

434
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 11: I've been living inside and outside of the City's shown.

435
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 11: We're talking to somebody who lives in the city. These

436
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 11: are all Democrats who said, you know, our friends won't

437
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 11: walk more than three blocks in DC at night without filthcare.

438
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 11: Complete opposite of New York City. I mean New York

439
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 11: is a safe, safe place.

440
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: Washington, d C.

441
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 11: Man, it's door to door, very dangerous there. Glad the

442
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 11: crime rates are going down, but there is no sense

443
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 11: of security for people who have been living in that

444
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 11: city for thirty years.

445
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 3: Well, good for Joe Shcarborough and one more, kyro Phillips

446
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 3: of ABC News.

447
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: So you first hand here in downtown d C where

448
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: we work, right here around our bureau.

449
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 7: Just in the.

450
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: Past six months. You know, there were two people shot.

451
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: One person died literally two blocks down here from the bureau.

452
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: It was within the last two years that I actually

453
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: was jumped walking just two blocks down from here. And

454
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: then just this morning, one of my co workers said

455
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: her car was stolen. It's happened to a lot of

456
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: people in our holding. Sadly, he was homeless and half dressed.

457
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: Clearly wasn't in his clear mind. It was scary as hell.

458
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie, but I fought back. I

459
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: didn't see any weapons in his hands. I felt like

460
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: it was my only choice.

461
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 2: Wow.

462
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 3: You know, Genine Piro is a conservative, granted, but listen

463
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 3: to her describing her life in DC.

464
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 7: This is the shining city on the hill that our

465
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 7: forefathers talked about. This is the place where Ronald Reagan.

466
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 2: Talked about looking up to.

467
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 7: And in the end, it is an incredibly violent area.

468
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 7: And you know, whether crime is up or down, you know,

469
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 7: they want to pack themselves on the back and say, gee,

470
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 7: it's great, it's not as bad as it used to be.

471
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 2: It is horrific.

472
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 3: And then Leland Vitter, a News Nation, points out that

473
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 3: the murder rate in d C is five times that

474
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 3: in New York City. So all right, so's that's one

475
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 3: point number one. You get the institutional media saying.

476
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: The crime is down. Trump has no justification, crime is down.

477
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 3: But then you get the media folks who actually live

478
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 3: and work in DC saying it's really really bad.

479
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 2: Point number two.

480
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 3: And this is worth mentioning, you know, political for Politico,

481
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 3: for instance, reported just yesterday that quote, crime in Washington

482
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: hit a thirty year low last year, despite the President

483
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: declaring a public safety emergency in the district and attempting

484
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 3: to cast the city is dangerous. That's a quote, attempting

485
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: to cast the city is dangerous and pr proted. Those

486
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 3: words of violent crime plunged to a thirty year low

487
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: last year, according to the US Department of Justice. The Guardian,

488
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 3: Washington Post all all practically the same verbiage, and none

489
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: of them mentioned that. The Metropolitan Police Department just last

490
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 3: month suspended a commander for the Adams Morgan neighborhood for

491
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 3: allegedly manipulating crime no in his reports, and the comp

492
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 3: union chairman Greg Pemberton told the local TV NBC news

493
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 3: affiliate that officials often pressure officers to falsify statistics in

494
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: order to make the city appear safer. Quote Yeah, here's

495
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 3: what the Fraternal Order, the police guy said. When our

496
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 3: members respond to the scene of a felony offense where

497
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 3: there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably

498
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 3: there will be a lieutenant or a captain that will

499
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 3: show up on that scene and direct those members to

500
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 3: take a report for a lesser offense. So instead of

501
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 3: taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or

502
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 3: a carjacking, they will order that the officer take a

503
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 3: report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital,

504
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: or a felony assault, which is not the same type

505
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 3: of classification. He told NBC four that Washington's MPD leadership

506
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: directs officers to use loopholes in the FBI's reporting system.

507
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 3: Quote when management officials are directing officers to take reports

508
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: for felony assaults, or if they're going back into police

509
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 3: database and changing offenses to felony assault.

510
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 2: Felony assault is.

511
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 3: Not a category of crime that's listed on the department's

512
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 3: daily crime stats.

513
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: It's also not.

514
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 3: Something that's a requirement of the FBI's uniform crime reporting program.

515
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: So by changing criminal offenses from for example, ADW that's

516
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 3: assault with the deadly weapon bat or assault with deadly

517
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 3: weapon gun to felony assault that would avoid both the

518
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: MPD and the FBI from reporting that is part one

519
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: or as a part one or felony offense. In other words,

520
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 3: they have figured out a way to systematically game the

521
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 3: system and grossly under report violent crime in DC. What's

522
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 3: the motivation for the police want to downplay crime though?

523
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 3: To make themselves look good, get promotions, get to a

524
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 3: better job and another department, just because I've heard the stories,

525
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: like particularly in LA, where it sometimes goes the other

526
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 3: direction because you get more funding that way. True enough, Yeah,

527
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: I just think they want to say, look, crime is

528
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 3: down on my watch. But getting back to Pemberton, he

529
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 3: told the NBC affiliate, the MPD statistics don't make sense.

530
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: That's preposterous.

531
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: There's absolutely no way crime could be down twenty eight percent.

532
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: Last year.

533
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: They suggested that it went down thirty four percent. So

534
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 3: you got that the cooking of the books. And then

535
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 3: I wonder, because I'm confused by crime statistics, like I

536
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 3: said yesterday, when I hear them, I just basically close

537
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: my ears because they're always refuted one way or the

538
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: other by somebody I'm.

539
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 2: So easily manipulated.

540
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I wonder if part of it so I

541
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: was comparing the crime statistics various places to the way

542
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 3: you feel. And I wonder if a lot of it

543
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 3: has to do with you can take a city and

544
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: maybe crime is flat or down, but the crime that

545
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: was only in the bad neighborhood, which you didn't really

546
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 3: care that there was crime in the bad neighborhood. Now

547
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: there's crime in your neighborhood. So maybe the numbers are

548
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: flat for the whole city or even down, but now

549
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 3: the crime is over here. And so my perception is

550
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 3: crime is way worse and accurately because it matters to me.

551
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 3: And I just wonder if that's what happens a lot

552
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: with the crime statistics versus people's feelings about crime. Well,

553
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: there is no I think you're absolutely right that is

554
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 3: a factor. Whether it's a big factor or little one,

555
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I don't think there's any denying this.

556
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 3: Whether you're looking at education or crime statistics, or global

557
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: warming statistics or whatever. Progressives will systematically pervert measurements and

558
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 3: data to get the result they want. Look at the

559
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 3: miserable miserable state of our schools, for instance, as they have.

560
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 3: You know, if tests don't yield the results they want,

561
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: they change the standards, they eliminate the tests completely in

562
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 3: some states. Heart's law, which is my favorite thing I've

563
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: learned in the last decade. Once a statistic becomes a goal,

564
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: it ceases to be a good statistic a measure. Once

565
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 3: a measure becomes a goal, it ceases to be a

566
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 3: good measure every single time. And so if you end

567
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 3: up with a goal in the city that the police

568
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: chief or the mayor, the governor, whoever wants crime to

569
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 3: be down, and you're measuring, you know you've got a measure.

570
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 3: You manipulate it, just like you're talking about the graduation rates.

571
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: Are anything else look for in your life.

572
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 3: You'll see it over and over again. Goodheart's law. I

573
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 3: don't know how you get around it, but it happens

574
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: all the time. And because DC is almost exclusively progressive,

575
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 3: I will give them zero, zero benefit of the doubt

576
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 3: that their crime statistics, their self reported crime statistics, are legitimate,

577
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 3: particularly in light of this very specific public dispute.

578
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: Of them by the police. Guy got an.

579
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 3: Interesting text about TM that's transcendental meditation. That's what I do,

580
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 3: and swear by and a couple other things to get

581
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 3: to here, and then some more news about Russian Putin

582
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 3: and Trump and all that, So stick around please.

583
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 12: Two blind passengers were left behind on a Southwest flight.

584
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: Well whose fault is that?

585
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 12: Is it the airline or the blind person who says,

586
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 12: I know I'll travel with another blind person. The airline

587
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 12: offered each woman a one hundred dollars travel voucher, or

588
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 12: at least that's what they told him.

589
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 3: It was Oh wow, wow, I do not approve. No

590
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 3: wonder My parents watch Greg got Field every night. He

591
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 3: is often freaking hilarious. That is really funny. Or is

592
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 3: it the fault of a blind person who tells us

593
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 3: to travel with another blind person?

594
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: I'm for more politically correct you. I appreciate it. Oh,

595
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: that is freaking funny.

596
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 3: I was gonna talk about TM. I shouldn't have teased that,

597
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 3: because I've lost the heart. I got a text from

598
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 3: somebody who said they're watching a documentary about the Amityville Horror.

599
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 3: Do you remember that was a famous horror book and

600
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 3: movie back in the day.

601
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: About your leged real life haunting.

602
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: Right now, you even know about it, Katie, and it's

603
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 3: way before your time, so it lives on huh, huge.

604
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 2: Huge in the horror film world.

605
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 3: And it was a real story to a certain extent,

606
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 3: well to whatever extent. Some people thought the house was

607
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: haunted and it wasn't. I don't believe in haunted houses.

608
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 3: So but they were crazy or is that the long

609
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 3: and short of it?

610
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: Were they crazy?

611
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 6: Yeah?

612
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: There was. It was a murder house. Murders actually happened.

613
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, anyway, I guess it says in the documentary

614
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 3: that that family was really into transcendental meditation and sometimes

615
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 3: it makes people crazy. It makes it works for some

616
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 3: people and it makes other people crazy. So I'm a

617
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 3: big fan of it and it's like changed my life

618
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: for the better and I can't live.

619
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: Imagine living without it. But it made these people crazy,

620
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: all right?

621
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 3: Interesting? Got a layer upon layer of questions there.

622
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: But we will move on. Oh kidding.

623
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 3: So I mentioned earlier in the hour, but without many details,

624
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 3: this woman who has engaged to her ai fiance after

625
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 3: five months.

626
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,600

00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 3: lots of farmers, and the number of farmers these are

647
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 3: down to earth, I mean, is not this kind of

648
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 3: person as you could possibly imagine, works with their hands

649
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 3: in their fifties, farmers who are getting they were single

650
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 3: and getting a tremendous amount of compassion and feeling of

657
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 3: I mean, I, seriously, honest to God, think there's a

658
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 3: zero percent chance that could happen to me. So I

659
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 3: don't know what that says about the down to earth farmers?

660
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,160

Speaker 3: and praising blah blah blah.

669
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,160
