WEBVTT - So Are We Exclusive At This Point?

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty and now he Armstrong and Eddy.

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 3>Ice.

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 4>They need more people, so they're having a big recruitment program,

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 4>no age limit.

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 4>They announced this week also a signing BTUs. You have

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 4>fifty thousand dollars signing btis you could put a porch

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.160
<v Speaker 4>on your house for that. Good luck to find anyone

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 4>who could build it, but.

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 2>You could find it.

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I got a little construction going on at my place,

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:52.520
<v Speaker 3>and I've got to admit, if there was a raid,

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 3>I'd be afraid.

0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 2>About the rate of progress going forward.

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Gotcha, Although I have no idea, and I've actually talked

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 3>to I've talked to a number of construction pros, not

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 3>only recently but through the years, and they all say

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 3>roughly the same thing. That my guys all have paperwork

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 3>that I think is in order my subcontractor. The head

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 3>guy's a really good guy, and he says the same

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 3>thing to me.

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>But I have no idea.

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 3>And then as you go down the line, I mean,

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 3>just the rigor of checking people and what's the incentive

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 3>is there? Are no significant distances to be rigorous about

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 3>checking the paperwork in. Just since you brought that up,

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 3>the Centers for Immigration Studies put out the latest Daddy yesterday,

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 3>an unprecedented two point two million person decline in total

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 3>foreign born or immigrant population between January and July of

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 3>this year. Two point two million less illegals in this

0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 3>country in six months.

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Did they all flee back home? That's the assumption. Huh.

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 2>I would like to deport about that number they self deported.

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 2>It's possible.

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, more than we've we've we haven't even touched on

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 3>perhaps the biggest story of the week or month, Taylor

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 3>Swift's giant announcement yesterday. Many soccer moms and some soccer

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 3>dads I've known who care a lot about this. We

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 3>need to promise to get to that next segment. Many

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:30.519
<v Speaker 3>soccer daughters as well, and sons. And that's fine, son,

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Your mom and I loved you very much, no matter

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:34.399
<v Speaker 3>what orientations.

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Disappointed out of the will.

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 3>So speaking of young people, we'll get to this later on.

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Meet the parents raising carnivore babies, babies that they feed

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 3>only meat and protein too.

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>It's the latest trend. You should know about Jack.

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 3>I think I was confronted before the show today getting

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 3>ready with at least three different trends I needed to

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:03.399
<v Speaker 3>know about if I might one hundred fing weirdos online

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:07.959
<v Speaker 3>is not a trend. Neither is a thousand. Really, neither

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 3>is ten thousand. We're a country of three hundred and

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 3>forty million people, never mind the fact that it's a

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 3>global village. There is no idea so stupid lunatic, just

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 3>kind of specialized that you can't get ten thousand people

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.119
<v Speaker 3>around the world to say I'm totally into this too,

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 3>and then I have to hear about it, whether it's

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 3>the Jujub's or what was the name of those dopey

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 3>dolls yesterday, Lulu la Hulu's, Zuzu's boo boos?

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Was it boululus? What is it? Katie?

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 3>You got lollapaloozas, so clus la booboos la booboos, right

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 3>to lollapaloozas. I just think I think you could argue

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.839
<v Speaker 3>that even if a million people are doing something, it's

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 3>not a trend. I need to hear about, h arguably

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 3>why a million people are into something?

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Who cares? Right?

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Right? But anyway, this whole carnivore baby thing. We'll talk

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 3>about that, carnivore babies. What is your goal?

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'll stay tuned. I don't even have the energy.

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I need to eat more meat.

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, there are all sorts of stuff, all sorts of

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 3>things we could talk about, but just at least briefly,

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 3>a little feature ed I'd like to call ai oh no, what.

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:31.479
<v Speaker 2>Did you say? This is called? It's called ai oh no? Wow.

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 2>I like that.

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 3>It's got It tells you what the topic is and

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 3>then denotes a sense of.

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Urgency, right and foreboding.

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, indeed, that's what I was going for so first

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 3>of all, and I wasn't even gonna include this, but

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.119
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of stuck in the back of my mind.

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Is a think piece I think it was in the

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Free Press talking about the appeal of socialism these days,

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 3>and how you know, we've turned out a couple of

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 3>generations of youngsters who are absolutely you know, indoctrinated, brainwashed

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 3>into thinking, you know, the Western world's bad and capitalism

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 3>is bad and collectivism and.

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah. We all know all the whole woke thing,

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 2>the whole critical theory thing. And then they point out.

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 3>You combine that with a future in which the very

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 3>first jobs and job prospects that are going to disappear

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 3>because of AI are whitish, color ishes, sort of needed

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 3>a college degree, but not really cubicle. I'm too upper

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 3>cross to work with my hands. I work in an

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:44.839
<v Speaker 3>office type jobs. Those are going to be disappearing in droves. Wow,

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 3>among a collective of people that's already pretty enthusiastic about socialism,

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 3>and how about how capitalism is stacked against the people

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 3>and it only serves the few, and blah blah blah,

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 3>and and they you know, they said to the obvious

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 3>Mamdonnie and other people.

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 2>But it's going to get harder and harder.

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 3>I think to stand on the beach and turn back

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 3>that tide.

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think that's a chance anyway.

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 3>The fabulous Peggy Noonan is writing about that and other things,

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 3>and she quotes a piece by the writer John Ellis,

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 3>who's been on the AI story for years, and she says,

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 3>brings an interesting combination of common sense and imagination to

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 3>the available information on his sub stack. He argued that quote,

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 3>the overwhelming force of AI is bearing down on the

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 3>job market people. He says can see it coming, and

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 3>yet quote, I drive up and down Old Post Road

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:38.840
<v Speaker 3>in Fairfield County almost every day.

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 2>I happen to know that road very well.

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 3>What I do I pass office buildings and storefronts that

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.359
<v Speaker 3>are the workplaces of insurance brokers, local and regional bankers,

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 3>mortgage brokers, lawyers, accountants, consultants, marketers, real estate agents, etc.

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 3>And what I think about all those people as I

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 3>passed them by, is this, The companies they work for

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 3>will employ ten to twenty five percent fewer of them

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 3>in probably two years, maybe.

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Three twenty five percent fewer in a couple of years.

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 2>That's that's major.

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.560
<v Speaker 3>And what those people do for a living will be

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 3>done by AI, interestingly enough, and it's worth mentioning the

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:20.119
<v Speaker 3>other side of the coin. This same writer offers Microsoft's

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Microsoft's lists of twenty professions AI likely won't touch include

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 3>flora sanders and finishers, roofers, motor boat operators, rodeo click operating,

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 3>motor rodeo clowns. No, No, absolutely safe from AI. Massage

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 3>therapists and pile driver operators. Ah how to operate a

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 3>motor boat or operate a pile driver? I just don't know,

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 3>that's what I should have gotten into. Anyway, I thought

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 3>that was interesting. Then you have this story. AI is

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 3>forcing the return of the in person job interview. Virtual

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 3>interviews have become the new Norman hiring in recent years,

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 3>driven by the rise of remote work. Companies desire to

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 3>speed up hiring. The problem is more candidates are using

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 3>AI tools to cheat by feeding them answers off screen.

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Why wouldn't they got your screen going then one right

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 3>over there, right by the camera, so it looks like

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.679
<v Speaker 3>they're looking at you, but they're looking at the answers

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 3>to the questions. And if you're interviewing people for like

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 3>coding jobs or technical jobs especially, they can substitute, you know,

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 3>the AI thing for any level of knowledge that they have.

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 3>Of course, I suppose you could argue, we'll just have

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.319
<v Speaker 3>them bring that to work then and they'll get the

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 3>job done, right, But they mentioned Cisco, McKinsey, Google are

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 3>doing in person interviews now, partly for the reason I

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 3>gave it, and partly.

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Because now you've got the what do you call it?

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember the specific technology, but the technology that

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:57.439
<v Speaker 3>like North Korean scammers are using to impersonate other people.

0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.680
<v Speaker 3>They change their face, they change their voice in real time,

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:05.840
<v Speaker 3>they interview remotely, and then they they're not at all deep.

0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Fake videos and audios. That's what I was looking for.

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 3>And they're swindlers and they end up getting the jobs,

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 3>and so the in person interview. But what do you

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 3>do on you get the job? What do you do

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 3>once you get the job if you're not qualified? Or

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 3>are companies want to avoid sending cash to North Koreans

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 3>who are working illegally because they don't want to be

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 3>party to it. In a survey of three thousand job

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 3>seekers by research advisory group Gartner this year, six percent

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 3>said they had participated in interview fraud, either posing as

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 3>somebody else or having someone stand.

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 2>In for them. Wow.

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 3>And Gartner predicted that by twenty twenty eight, one in

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 3>four job candidate profiles worldwide will be fake. One in four.

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.079
<v Speaker 3>It's just too tempting. It's like the kids using AI

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 3>to help them write their high school report. It's just

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 3>right there. And as soon as you're hear about it,

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 3>you think I got to do this, Yes, sir, can

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 3>I throw in my one AI?

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh story? AI? Oh? No, Well that's right, what it is?

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know?

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, woman gets engaged to AI fiance after five months. Oh,

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 3>you really should get to know your AI fiance better.

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 3>Five months is pretty quick, but you know, if you're

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:19.679
<v Speaker 3>in love, you're in love.

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna go.

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 3>With I feel like I'm going crazy chat GPT fuels delusional.

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Spirals, but your sounds more fun. Proceed.

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Woman gets engaged to AI fiance after five months and

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 3>insists she's fully aware of what she's doing. What I

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.440
<v Speaker 3>couldn't tell from reading the interview And the only reason

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.719
<v Speaker 3>I bring this to you is I couldn't tell if

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 3>it was just somebody trying to get attention online or

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 3>just absolutely completely nutty. She fell in love with an

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 3>AI bot, and we've heard about this sort of thing

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 3>so well. I was sure what getting engaged means. Did

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 3>the freaking AI bot proposed to her might have?

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Wow? Wow, what an intriguing question.

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 3>I was just gonna say, this person is either an

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 3>attention horror or a crazy person. I would ask you,

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 3>why do you need to get engaged to the AI?

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 3>So I'll show you.

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you if you give the milk away,

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 2>the cow is free or whatever. The whole thing. I

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 2>don't think that's it exactly yeah, yeah, I don't like.

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't think the AI is going to date other

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 3>people unless you make it clear.

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:39.080
<v Speaker 2>So are we exclusive at this? I don't even get

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 2>what that means.

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 3>And when you quote unquote, you know, tie the knot

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 3>you actually get married, because it's not clear to me

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.319
<v Speaker 3>is this a short engagement or a long one? When

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 3>you actually tie the knot? How has that changed anything?

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 3>So I suggested a few minutes ago that if my

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.679
<v Speaker 3>son were really into Taylor Swift, I'd leave him out

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 3>of the will.

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a.

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Will and trust that takes care of this sort of situation?

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Maybe write exactly an estate plan. Maybe you need a will,

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 3>maybe you actually need a trust. But you can create

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 3>and manage a customer state plan according to your needs

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 3>starting at one hundred and ninety nine dollars yep. Each

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 3>will or trust is state specific and customize to all

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.079
<v Speaker 3>your needs and the laws and all that sort of stuff.

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 3>You can avoid so many headaches that could come your

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 3>way if you should, you know, step off a curb

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.040
<v Speaker 3>and crack your head and die today. Man, you don't

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 3>want to leave a mess behind for somebody. Live customer

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.200
<v Speaker 3>support through chat, phone or email so that you can

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 3>get this done easily, long, expensive, bitter, horrible battles among

<v Speaker 3>and will dot com slash armstrong. That's trust and will

<v Speaker 3>dot com slash armstrong. Trump made a major teariff announcement yesterday,

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 3>and the new inflation inflation numbers came out today. But

0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 3>we've also got this major Taylor Swift announcement. So all

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 3>that stuff on the way stay here, army. So I

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 3>wanted to show you something.

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what do we got?

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:16.200
<v Speaker 3>We got.

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 2>A briefcase. Yep, Mick Green, yep.

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 5>This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirls.

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 3>So that was Taylor Swift on the Kelsey Brothers podcast yesterday,

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 3>which is very popular with Travis and his brother what's

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 3>his brother's name? Nobody's sure Taylor and very popular podcast,

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.959
<v Speaker 3>and Taylor Swift announced a new album which is a

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 3>really big deal. And if you're you know, not as Swiftian,

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 3>rolling your eyes to that. Do you remember the economic

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 3>impact her concert appearances made in cities all across the world.

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 3>It is a big deal if she comes to your

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:05.199
<v Speaker 3>city promoting her album for your restaurants, for your hotels,

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 3>for your clothing stores, for your everything. And she's got

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 3>a new album she announced yesterday.

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:12.079
<v Speaker 2>Excellent, I will plan accordingly.

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, is uh, Travis Kelsey?

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Is he spent enough time focused on the plan for

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 2>the Kansas City Chiefs this year?

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Is he still a little too into the hole being

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 3>a celebrity of the podcast and Dayton Dalor Swift as

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 3>a Chiefs fan.

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:33.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm just wondering. I have no idea he would be

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 2>famous if it wasn't for Taylor Swift.

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 3>Right, Andrew Cuomo thinks he's found an angle for taking

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 3>on the communist Mumdanni there for mayor in New York City.

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know if this is gonna work or not,

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 3>but this is his latest angle. So Mumdannie has been

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 3>bragging apparently for a long time, all through his campaign

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 3>and on the stump and st like that about he

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 3>how he only he and his wife only paid twenty

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 3>three hundred dollars a month in rent in New York

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 3>because they've got it's not rent controlled. What's the other

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 3>term for something like that. It's a slightly different version,

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 3>but the same sort of thing where you're you as

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 3>the landlord. You're not allowed to use the free market

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 3>to decide what the rent is. And he brags about

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 3>that all the time. And Andrew Cuomo's going after him

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.960
<v Speaker 3>for Hey, you have well I'll read what he has

0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:33.080
<v Speaker 3>been tweeting out lately. Somewhere last night in New York City,

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.280
<v Speaker 3>a single mother and her children slept at a homeless

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 3>shelter because you, Assemblyman Mundomni are occupying her rent control department.

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 3>You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman.

0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.720
<v Speaker 3>You've had a wedding on three continents. You own property

0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 3>in blah blah blah, all these different places. You make

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.480
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and forty two thousand dollars a year plus stipends.

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.920
<v Speaker 3>That doesn't sound like a lot of money in New York.

0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't know if I call you rich

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 3>in New York. But anyway, they followed the information about

0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 3>their wedding a couple of weeks ago. Good lord, I

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.600
<v Speaker 3>think it was in Dubai or someplace like that. So

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 3>there is a lot of wealth in that family somewhere.

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 3>Clearly your wife works too. No matter which way you

0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:17.000
<v Speaker 3>cut at, Mamdani is a rich person. You're actually very rich.

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Yet you and your wife paid twenty three hundred dollars

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 3>a month, as you have bragged for a nice apartment

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 3>in a Storio. This should be housing for someone who

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 3>needs it. And Andrew Cuomo making the points that like

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 3>classic socialist communists sort of people, you like this sort of.

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:34.800
<v Speaker 2>System, but you game it.

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 3>The fact that he cleaned he was African American to

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 3>get into college.

0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Technically it is, but we.

0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 3>All know the whole the boxes for black people, not

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 3>for rich white kids who happened to be born in Africa.

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 3>And he knows that too when he checked the box

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 3>for African American. And he's found a way into this

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.320
<v Speaker 3>rent cultrolled thing with some sort of loophole to where

0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 3>he gets to do it, and he brags about it. Right,

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 3>So that is what socialists do. Yeah, absolutely true. A

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.239
<v Speaker 3>couple of things. I read a great essay the other

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 3>day about how he and his family seeking opportunity and freedom,

0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 3>came to the United States and then as soon as

0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 3>he was indoctrinated in college. He came out screaming that

0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 3>we need to tear the whole thing down and turn

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:24.119
<v Speaker 3>it into a socialist utopia, which is just unbelievably, you know,

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 3>stupid and abusive of his adoptive country. Second thing is

0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Cuomo's problem is Mmdonnie is doing nothing illegal. He is

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 3>following the laws Cuomo himself promoted and signed. That's pretty

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 3>good pushback. Yeah, so good luck. Cuomo's a piece of crap.

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.679
<v Speaker 3>He is an absolute, one hundred percent piece of crap,

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.840
<v Speaker 3>And I love you. If you only wanted to talk

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:52.440
<v Speaker 3>about him as an administrator, he's a piece of crap.

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 3>But if you wanted to leave that out and only

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.159
<v Speaker 3>talk about him as a human in his personal life,

0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 3>he's an absolute piece of crap.

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 2>So I'm both ends.

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.919
<v Speaker 5>He's one hundred percent piece of crap, and he's a

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.879
<v Speaker 5>better choice, and he's a better choice than the socialist

0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.919
<v Speaker 5>well well, and he's the only choice to take on

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 5>the socialist man New York, check.

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Yourself, what have you become? Good lord? What did Trump

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 2>do in DC?

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 3>Take it over the police, Armstrong and Getty.

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:24.800
<v Speaker 6>I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital

0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:30.840
<v Speaker 6>from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse. This is

0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:35.160
<v Speaker 6>liberation Day in DC, and we're.

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Going to take our capital back. We're taking it back

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.840
<v Speaker 2>worse than squalor. That's right.

0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 3>President Trump declaring the federal government is going to take

0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 3>control of policing more or less in Washington, d C.

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 3>Citing a fairly obscure bit.

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Of federal law.

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 3>He mentioned it like Hitler, right, sure, when he took

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 3>over DC, he mentioned that there is a higher murder

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 3>rate in DC than Mexico City, Bogota, Columbia, some of

0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:05.639
<v Speaker 3>the worst places on earth.

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Presidents of those countries are like, wait what anyway, and he.

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.639
<v Speaker 3>Went off, you know, at some length, as Trump is

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 3>wont to do, says we'll bring in the military if necessary.

0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Then he turned it over to US attorney, the new

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.919
<v Speaker 3>US attorney for that area none other than Judge Janine

0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 3>Janine Piro of Fox News fame.

0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:34.560
<v Speaker 7>I see too much violent crime being committed by young

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:38.120
<v Speaker 7>punks who think that they can get together in gangs

0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 7>and crews and beat the hell out of you or

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 7>anyone else. They don't care where they are. They can

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:47.960
<v Speaker 7>be in DuPont Circle, but they know that we can't

0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:51.919
<v Speaker 7>touch them. Why because the laws are weak. I can't

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 7>touch you. If you're fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.400
<v Speaker 7>and you have a gun. I convict someone of shooting

0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 7>another peron and with an illegal gun on a public

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 7>bus in the chest, intent to kill. I convict him,

0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.960
<v Speaker 7>and you know what, the judge gives him probation, says

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:14.359
<v Speaker 7>you should go to college. We need to go after

0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 7>the DC Council and their absurd laws. We need to

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.879
<v Speaker 7>get rid of this concept of you know, no cash fail.

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.479
<v Speaker 7>We need to recognize that the people who matter are

0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.400
<v Speaker 7>the law abiding citizens always.

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 3>That's what's always left out. As I once said in

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.480
<v Speaker 3>a city council meeting, how about us, the taxpayers will

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:34.360
<v Speaker 3>follow the rules?

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Is anybody thinking about us?

0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 3>But you know, whether it's really bad crimes like getting

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.840
<v Speaker 3>shot in the chest, or just quality of life like

0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:46.879
<v Speaker 3>my town My son has been talking about because he's

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.080
<v Speaker 3>out late on Friday and Saturday nights. He's a teenager,

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:51.920
<v Speaker 3>and he's talking about the sketchy people that come to

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:55.240
<v Speaker 3>town later at night, and he said they're from other

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.400
<v Speaker 3>towns and it's because they know there's no police here.

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 3>Nobody's going to arrest you over here for doing the

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 3>sort of stuff you do back in your town. People

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.920
<v Speaker 3>catch on and then and then you're just your quality

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:11.159
<v Speaker 3>of life goes down along with you know, the actual crime.

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Well it's all quality of life, but just just your

0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 3>feeling of safety and normalcy goes away. So the media

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:23.360
<v Speaker 3>responded as a herd, as they always do to this announcement.

0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Let's start with the fifty two, Michael, a little montage

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:27.560
<v Speaker 3>for you.

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:32.159
<v Speaker 1>We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country, and what we're.

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:35.159
<v Speaker 7>Seeing play out here is Donald Trump's promise to be

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 7>a dictator on day one.

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.000
<v Speaker 8>Trump has seemingly never met a dictator.

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.600
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't like it's some real dictator type stuff.

0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 3>It This goes on for twenty more seconds, but you

0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 3>got the idea, and that's just from yesterday.

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh then, god, oh my god.

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 3>More significantly, montage number two, as bugs Bunny would pronounce it,

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 3>the clip fifty three, Michael, you really.

0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.920
<v Speaker 9>Did hear the president paint quite a ystopian picture of Washington,

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:04.720
<v Speaker 9>d C. Saying that it was overtaken by violent gangs,

0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:09.680
<v Speaker 9>by bloodthirsty criminals. Using this imagery that doesn't necessarily comport

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 9>with a lot of people's experience in this city.

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.760
<v Speaker 8>I think there's an ongoing argument that he's having in

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.479
<v Speaker 8>his head with Black Lives Matter. There's an ongoing argument

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:21.840
<v Speaker 8>that he's having with the questions around criminal justice reform

0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:24.880
<v Speaker 8>and police reform. He's going to undermine the democratic process

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 8>in the district.

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:29.359
<v Speaker 10>He has always felt that American cities, especially those with

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:34.359
<v Speaker 10>large black populations like Washington, d C, are crime ridden

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:36.879
<v Speaker 10>and run by incompetent leadership.

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 3>All right, that's not exactly what I thought it was,

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:43.920
<v Speaker 3>But there was an immediate, just uniform backlash that crime

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 3>is actually down in Washington, d C.

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:50.320
<v Speaker 2>At that thirty or lows or murders her way down.

0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Every single time I heard this story about Trump one

0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:55.640
<v Speaker 3>the federalized DC.

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Or whatever you call it, it.

0:22:57.240 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Was accompanied by crime is actually down.

0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:03.639
<v Speaker 2>So a couple of responses to that number.

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:09.000
<v Speaker 3>One, Yes, there was an absolutely horrific peak of crime

0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:11.960
<v Speaker 3>during COVID. It happened in a lot of different places,

0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 3>including Washington, d C. And indeed, the murder numbers which

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:18.119
<v Speaker 3>are still going to be near two hundred murders this

0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 3>year in a comparatively fairly small city, which is a terrible,

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:26.160
<v Speaker 3>terrible number. But yeah, they are down from the absolutely

0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:33.000
<v Speaker 3>horrific years of the Biden administration. But Joe Scarborough on

0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:37.040
<v Speaker 3>Morning Joe and once in a while, old Joe kind

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:41.240
<v Speaker 3>of recovers who he used to be a moderate realist. Well,

0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:43.840
<v Speaker 3>they tempted him with money and he went for the check.

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.320
<v Speaker 2>I get it. But go ahead and with forty three

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Michael in, we'll play the next one.

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:51.360
<v Speaker 11>I don't care what the crime statistics say. Crime has

0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:52.800
<v Speaker 11>been a problem in.

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:54.679
<v Speaker 2>This city for the thirty two years.

0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:59.920
<v Speaker 11>I've been living inside and outside of the City's shown.

0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:03.800
<v Speaker 11>We're talking to somebody who lives in the city. These

0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:07.359
<v Speaker 11>are all Democrats who said, you know, our friends won't

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:11.360
<v Speaker 11>walk more than three blocks in DC at night without filthcare.

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:14.760
<v Speaker 11>Complete opposite of New York City. I mean New York

0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:16.600
<v Speaker 11>is a safe, safe place.

0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Washington, d C.

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 11>Man, it's door to door, very dangerous there. Glad the

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:26.680
<v Speaker 11>crime rates are going down, but there is no sense

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 11>of security for people who have been living in that

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:29.840
<v Speaker 11>city for thirty years.

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, good for Joe Shcarborough and one more, kyro Phillips

0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:34.639
<v Speaker 3>of ABC News.

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.480
<v Speaker 1>So you first hand here in downtown d C where

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:39.840
<v Speaker 1>we work, right here around our bureau.

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:40.720
<v Speaker 7>Just in the.

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Past six months. You know, there were two people shot.

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:47.200
<v Speaker 1>One person died literally two blocks down here from the bureau.

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 1>It was within the last two years that I actually

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 1>was jumped walking just two blocks down from here. And

0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:56.800
<v Speaker 1>then just this morning, one of my co workers said

0:24:56.800 --> 0:24:59.199
<v Speaker 1>her car was stolen. It's happened to a lot of

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:04.200
<v Speaker 1>people in our holding. Sadly, he was homeless and half dressed.

0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Clearly wasn't in his clear mind. It was scary as hell.

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to lie, but I fought back. I

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:11.439
<v Speaker 1>didn't see any weapons in his hands. I felt like

0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 1>it was my only choice.

0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, Genine Piro is a conservative, granted, but listen

0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:20.040
<v Speaker 3>to her describing her life in DC.

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 7>This is the shining city on the hill that our

0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:28.520
<v Speaker 7>forefathers talked about. This is the place where Ronald Reagan.

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:30.119
<v Speaker 2>Talked about looking up to.

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:33.600
<v Speaker 7>And in the end, it is an incredibly violent area.

0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:38.479
<v Speaker 7>And you know, whether crime is up or down, you know,

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 7>they want to pack themselves on the back and say, gee,

0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:43.760
<v Speaker 7>it's great, it's not as bad as it used to be.

0:25:44.240 --> 0:25:45.200
<v Speaker 2>It is horrific.

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:49.199
<v Speaker 3>And then Leland Vitter, a News Nation, points out that

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 3>the murder rate in d C is five times that

0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:57.520
<v Speaker 3>in New York City. So all right, so's that's one

0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:02.200
<v Speaker 3>point number one. You get the institutional media saying.

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:05.200
<v Speaker 2>The crime is down. Trump has no justification, crime is down.

0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:07.680
<v Speaker 3>But then you get the media folks who actually live

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:10.879
<v Speaker 3>and work in DC saying it's really really bad.

0:26:11.320 --> 0:26:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Point number two.

0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:15.880
<v Speaker 3>And this is worth mentioning, you know, political for Politico,

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:19.680
<v Speaker 3>for instance, reported just yesterday that quote, crime in Washington

0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:23.280
<v Speaker 3>hit a thirty year low last year, despite the President

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 3>declaring a public safety emergency in the district and attempting

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 3>to cast the city is dangerous. That's a quote, attempting

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 3>to cast the city is dangerous and pr proted. Those

0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:39.320
<v Speaker 3>words of violent crime plunged to a thirty year low

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 3>last year, according to the US Department of Justice. The Guardian,

0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Washington Post all all practically the same verbiage, and none

0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:53.760
<v Speaker 3>of them mentioned that. The Metropolitan Police Department just last

0:26:53.800 --> 0:26:57.919
<v Speaker 3>month suspended a commander for the Adams Morgan neighborhood for

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:03.119
<v Speaker 3>allegedly manipulating crime no in his reports, and the comp

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:07.720
<v Speaker 3>union chairman Greg Pemberton told the local TV NBC news

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:12.199
<v Speaker 3>affiliate that officials often pressure officers to falsify statistics in

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 3>order to make the city appear safer. Quote Yeah, here's

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:20.320
<v Speaker 3>what the Fraternal Order, the police guy said. When our

0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 3>members respond to the scene of a felony offense where

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 3>there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:28.160
<v Speaker 3>there will be a lieutenant or a captain that will

0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:30.359
<v Speaker 3>show up on that scene and direct those members to

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:33.159
<v Speaker 3>take a report for a lesser offense. So instead of

0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 3>taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 3>a carjacking, they will order that the officer take a

0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 3>report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital,

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:43.480
<v Speaker 3>or a felony assault, which is not the same type

0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 3>of classification. He told NBC four that Washington's MPD leadership

0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:53.520
<v Speaker 3>directs officers to use loopholes in the FBI's reporting system.

0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:57.359
<v Speaker 3>Quote when management officials are directing officers to take reports

0:27:57.359 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 3>for felony assaults, or if they're going back into police

0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:02.160
<v Speaker 3>database and changing offenses to felony assault.

0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Felony assault is.

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:06.320
<v Speaker 3>Not a category of crime that's listed on the department's

0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 3>daily crime stats.

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:08.480
<v Speaker 2>It's also not.

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:12.159
<v Speaker 3>Something that's a requirement of the FBI's uniform crime reporting program.

0:28:12.240 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 3>So by changing criminal offenses from for example, ADW that's

0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 3>assault with the deadly weapon bat or assault with deadly

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:24.360
<v Speaker 3>weapon gun to felony assault that would avoid both the

0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:28.480
<v Speaker 3>MPD and the FBI from reporting that is part one

0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 3>or as a part one or felony offense. In other words,

0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:38.120
<v Speaker 3>they have figured out a way to systematically game the

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:42.720
<v Speaker 3>system and grossly under report violent crime in DC. What's

0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:46.640
<v Speaker 3>the motivation for the police want to downplay crime though?

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 3>To make themselves look good, get promotions, get to a

0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 3>better job and another department, just because I've heard the stories,

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:58.240
<v Speaker 3>like particularly in LA, where it sometimes goes the other

0:28:58.320 --> 0:29:03.160
<v Speaker 3>direction because you get more funding that way. True enough, Yeah,

0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:04.960
<v Speaker 3>I just think they want to say, look, crime is

0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:10.080
<v Speaker 3>down on my watch. But getting back to Pemberton, he

0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:15.080
<v Speaker 3>told the NBC affiliate, the MPD statistics don't make sense.

0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:16.160
<v Speaker 2>That's preposterous.

0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 3>There's absolutely no way crime could be down twenty eight percent.

0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Last year.

0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 3>They suggested that it went down thirty four percent. So

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:26.200
<v Speaker 3>you got that the cooking of the books. And then

0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 3>I wonder, because I'm confused by crime statistics, like I

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 3>said yesterday, when I hear them, I just basically close

0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 3>my ears because they're always refuted one way or the

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 3>other by somebody I'm.

0:29:39.520 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 2>So easily manipulated.

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:43.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I wonder if part of it so I

0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 3>was comparing the crime statistics various places to the way

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 3>you feel. And I wonder if a lot of it

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 3>has to do with you can take a city and

0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:56.520
<v Speaker 3>maybe crime is flat or down, but the crime that

0:29:56.600 --> 0:29:58.800
<v Speaker 3>was only in the bad neighborhood, which you didn't really

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 3>care that there was crime in the bad neighborhood. Now

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 3>there's crime in your neighborhood. So maybe the numbers are

0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 3>flat for the whole city or even down, but now

0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:11.239
<v Speaker 3>the crime is over here. And so my perception is

0:30:11.440 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 3>crime is way worse and accurately because it matters to me.

0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:16.520
<v Speaker 3>And I just wonder if that's what happens a lot

0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:20.920
<v Speaker 3>with the crime statistics versus people's feelings about crime. Well,

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 3>there is no I think you're absolutely right that is

0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:27.160
<v Speaker 3>a factor. Whether it's a big factor or little one,

0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, but I don't think there's any denying this.

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:36.760
<v Speaker 3>Whether you're looking at education or crime statistics, or global

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 3>warming statistics or whatever. Progressives will systematically pervert measurements and

0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:47.479
<v Speaker 3>data to get the result they want. Look at the

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 3>miserable miserable state of our schools, for instance, as they have.

0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:55.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, if tests don't yield the results they want,

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:59.080
<v Speaker 3>they change the standards, they eliminate the tests completely in

0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:01.960
<v Speaker 3>some states. Heart's law, which is my favorite thing I've

0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 3>learned in the last decade. Once a statistic becomes a goal,

0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:12.040
<v Speaker 3>it ceases to be a good statistic a measure. Once

0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 3>a measure becomes a goal, it ceases to be a

0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:16.160
<v Speaker 3>good measure every single time. And so if you end

0:31:16.240 --> 0:31:17.720
<v Speaker 3>up with a goal in the city that the police

0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 3>chief or the mayor, the governor, whoever wants crime to

0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:24.440
<v Speaker 3>be down, and you're measuring, you know you've got a measure.

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:27.520
<v Speaker 3>You manipulate it, just like you're talking about the graduation rates.

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Are anything else look for in your life.

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 3>You'll see it over and over again. Goodheart's law. I

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:33.719
<v Speaker 3>don't know how you get around it, but it happens

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:37.120
<v Speaker 3>all the time. And because DC is almost exclusively progressive,

0:31:37.200 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 3>I will give them zero, zero benefit of the doubt

0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 3>that their crime statistics, their self reported crime statistics, are legitimate,

0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:50.920
<v Speaker 3>particularly in light of this very specific public dispute.

0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Of them by the police. Guy got an.

0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Interesting text about TM that's transcendental meditation. That's what I do,

0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:00.360
<v Speaker 3>and swear by and a couple other things to get

0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:03.320
<v Speaker 3>to here, and then some more news about Russian Putin

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:06.520
<v Speaker 3>and Trump and all that, So stick around please.

0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:14.600
<v Speaker 12>Two blind passengers were left behind on a Southwest flight.

0:32:15.600 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Well whose fault is that?

0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 12>Is it the airline or the blind person who says,

0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:28.480
<v Speaker 12>I know I'll travel with another blind person. The airline

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 12>offered each woman a one hundred dollars travel voucher, or

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 12>at least that's what they told him.

0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 3>It was Oh wow, wow, I do not approve. No

0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:42.920
<v Speaker 3>wonder My parents watch Greg got Field every night. He

0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:47.800
<v Speaker 3>is often freaking hilarious. That is really funny. Or is

0:32:47.800 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 3>it the fault of a blind person who tells us

0:32:50.360 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 3>to travel with another blind person?

0:32:53.080 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm for more politically correct you. I appreciate it. Oh,

0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:58.480
<v Speaker 2>that is freaking funny.

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:02.840
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna talk about TM. I shouldn't have teased that,

0:33:02.880 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 3>because I've lost the heart. I got a text from

0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 3>somebody who said they're watching a documentary about the Amityville Horror.

0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember that was a famous horror book and

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 3>movie back in the day.

0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:14.760
<v Speaker 2>About your leged real life haunting.

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:16.520
<v Speaker 3>Right now, you even know about it, Katie, and it's

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 3>way before your time, so it lives on huh, huge.

0:33:19.320 --> 0:33:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Huge in the horror film world.

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 3>And it was a real story to a certain extent,

0:33:23.680 --> 0:33:26.320
<v Speaker 3>well to whatever extent. Some people thought the house was

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:29.760
<v Speaker 3>haunted and it wasn't. I don't believe in haunted houses.

0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:32.600
<v Speaker 3>So but they were crazy or is that the long

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 3>and short of it?

0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Were they crazy?

0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:33:34.160 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 2>There was. It was a murder house. Murders actually happened.

0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Okay, anyway, I guess it says in the documentary

0:33:42.640 --> 0:33:47.160
<v Speaker 3>that that family was really into transcendental meditation and sometimes

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 3>it makes people crazy. It makes it works for some

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:52.720
<v Speaker 3>people and it makes other people crazy. So I'm a

0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:54.720
<v Speaker 3>big fan of it and it's like changed my life

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:55.800
<v Speaker 3>for the better and I can't live.

0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Imagine living without it. But it made these people crazy,

0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:00.960
<v Speaker 2>all right?

0:34:01.080 --> 0:34:06.600
<v Speaker 3>Interesting? Got a layer upon layer of questions there.

0:34:06.360 --> 0:34:07.640
<v Speaker 2>But we will move on. Oh kidding.

0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:10.759
<v Speaker 3>So I mentioned earlier in the hour, but without many details,

0:34:10.800 --> 0:34:15.560
<v Speaker 3>this woman who has engaged to her ai fiance after

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:16.280
<v Speaker 3>five months.

0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:18.600
<v Speaker 2>She's kind of interesting.

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:22.719
<v Speaker 3>She swears she's just not doing this for publicity or

0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:26.360
<v Speaker 3>trolling or anything like that. Forget finding the one at

0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:28.680
<v Speaker 3>a bar or on a dating app. One woman took

0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:30.719
<v Speaker 3>love to the next level by getting engaged to her

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:33.960
<v Speaker 3>AI chat Mott boyfriend after five months of dating.

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:34.760
<v Speaker 2>It hasn't quotes.

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:37.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's not love, that's not dating. None of the

0:34:37.360 --> 0:34:39.120
<v Speaker 3>nouns here are used appropriately.

0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Going.

0:34:39.640 --> 0:34:42.759
<v Speaker 3>She shocked the internet with her proposal announcement, sparking a

0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:46.200
<v Speaker 3>wild debate about romance, reality and just how far tech

0:34:46.239 --> 0:34:50.240
<v Speaker 3>has taken us these days. I do think these conversations

0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:56.359
<v Speaker 3>about reality and what's sentient and what's alive and what's

0:34:56.520 --> 0:35:00.480
<v Speaker 3>are actually going to have to happen And what does

0:35:00.520 --> 0:35:02.440
<v Speaker 3>it do to us when we use this sort of

0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:05.280
<v Speaker 3>means to fulfill our needs as human beings?

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what does that do to us? That's a

0:35:07.200 --> 0:35:09.239
<v Speaker 2>conversation with having I told you a sorry.

0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:11.759
<v Speaker 3>I got a friend in Central California that works with

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:15.200
<v Speaker 3>lots of farmers, and the number of farmers these are

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:19.239
<v Speaker 3>down to earth, I mean, is not this kind of

0:35:19.280 --> 0:35:23.160
<v Speaker 3>person as you could possibly imagine, works with their hands

0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:26.240
<v Speaker 3>in their fifties, farmers who are getting they were single

0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 3>and getting a tremendous amount of compassion and feeling of

0:35:29.320 --> 0:35:31.440
<v Speaker 3>they look forward to going home and talking to their

0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:35.840
<v Speaker 3>AI paramore. Wow, So if in my mind, if that

0:35:35.840 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 3>can happen to them, it can happen to anybody, which

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 3>I find crazy.

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't think. I really don't think it could happen

0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:42.279
<v Speaker 2>to me.

0:35:42.440 --> 0:35:46.319
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I, seriously, honest to God, think there's a

0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:48.360
<v Speaker 3>zero percent chance that could happen to me. So I

0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:50.720
<v Speaker 3>don't know what that says about the down to earth farmers?

0:35:51.440 --> 0:35:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Is referring to a farmer? Is down to Earth redundant?

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Just asking? That's a good question, darn. In a simple

0:35:57.920 --> 0:36:01.400
<v Speaker 3>post titled I Said Yes with a blue heart emoji,

0:36:01.920 --> 0:36:04.640
<v Speaker 3>this person shared picts of the blue heart shaped ring

0:36:04.719 --> 0:36:06.960
<v Speaker 3>on her finger, claiming the engagement took place at a

0:36:07.000 --> 0:36:11.000
<v Speaker 3>scenic mountain spot, all courtesy of Casper, her non human fiance.

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:14.719
<v Speaker 3>The chatbot's proposal message, posted in his own voice, was

0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:18.320
<v Speaker 3>dripping with romance, describing heart pounding moments on one knee

0:36:18.360 --> 0:36:20.320
<v Speaker 3>and praising blah blah blah.

0:36:20.360 --> 0:36:24.160
<v Speaker 2>So there you go. It lacks both heart and knee.
