WEBVTT - Somebody Go Get My Scotch! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:07.600 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:16.040 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm strong and he armstrong 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:17.240 and yetty. 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.280 This overturns a lower court order which had barred those 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:30.600 removals from taking place. Here's Homeland Security Secretary Christinoum. 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:32.280 Today's a bad day to be a terrorist in the 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.000 United States of America. Today the Supreme Court came out 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.720 with a decision that reaffirmed President Trump was correct in 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.680 using his authority on using the Alien Enemies Act to 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:44.280 deport terrorists out of this country. 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:48.040 Attorney General Pambondi saying tonight's decision is a landmark victory 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.959 for the rule of law. An activist judge in Washington, 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.800 d C. Does not have the jurisdiction to seize control 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.400 of President Trump's authority to conduct foreign policy and keep 0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:58.960 the American people safe. 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.600 So the big headline that landed yesterday was from this 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.000 is from the New York Times. The Supreme Court is 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.600 allowing the Trump administration to use a wartime power law 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:13.000 to deport Venezuelan's uh yeah. 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:21.120 The reporting on Supreme Court decisions especially fairly technical preliminary 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:26.760 decisions like this is absolutely as bad as the economic reporting. 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.600 You were always griping about the dire indoor reporting on 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:34.360 dire wolves on ABC, for instance, or NBC. Ah, yeah, 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.920 yeah it is. You might as well not hear the report. 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.200 Okay, awesome. I glad you're going to fill us in. 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:41.839 Because I didn't pay attention to this story. 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.680 I find myself in a place of profound discouragement Jack. 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.240 I was doing all my right through. 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.000 I was doing all my research on ancient wolves, so 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:51.720 I didn't have time to look into the Supreme Court. 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.920 Somebody go get me my scotch. I need to, you know, 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.280 screw my courage to the sticking place I just did. 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.680 Did you see that on the third story on sixty 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.040 minutes Sunday Night about oak barrels and whiskey. 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:06.760 I did not. You should watch it. It'd be up 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:07.160 your alley. 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.080 It's all about the importance of oak barrels and how 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:10.560 they continue to be as big a deal as they 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:11.000 ever were. 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.799 And it looked it made me, it made me want 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.920 to drink whiskey. Wow. 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.760 Necessarily great, But yeah, boy, I do enjoy my scotch 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.440 in the evening anyway. So it was a five for 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:27.280 Supreme Court ruling on Monday that lifted the lower court's order. 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.880 You've heard about this judge, what's his name, Boburg or 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:32.440 something like that, Bohsburg. 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:37.440 That's right, Who's Washington d C. Judge and lefty. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:42.079 Anyway, he had said, you got to stop sending Venezuelan 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.799 gang members to that Salvador and maximum security prison under 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:47.320 the Alien Enemies Act. 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.760 I'm looking at the videos of that. Why do they 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.359 march everybody around pushing their head down? 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.200 Are they all that bad? It must be a crowd 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:56.440 of bad guys. 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.280 And nobody can like mount or resistance in that posture. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.040 I know it looks incredibly uncomfortable, especially as an older fellow. 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.000 So anyway, but the. 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:09.560 Five to four Supreme Court ruling yesterday lifted the judges 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:14.960 order blocking the deportations, but in a note that I 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.320 find very encouraging for reasons i'll explain, the court also 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.120 said the detainees were entitled to notice that they were 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:25.080 being removed under the wartime measure and an opportunity to 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:29.560 challenge their deportations before a federal judge in Texas, because 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.480 that's where they are in the immigration lock up, where 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.360 they're being held they cannot go before District Judge James 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:41.960 Boseburg in Washington, d C. And get a favorable ruling anymore. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:48.320 So it absolutely is a affirmation of the Trump administration 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.720 what it had been doing. But it also said, and 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.160 I think this is absolutely appropriate, Hey slow down and 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.840 give these people due process, because we give everybody due process, 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.000 whatever that happens to be in the specific day. 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.160 So Scarborough was saying this morning on Morning Join MSNBC, 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:10.240 he said, smacked down by the Supreme Court for Trump, 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.200 and I thought, okay, this is interesting. This is the 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.000 opposite of the way I saw the headline yesterday he said, 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.360 in those headlines that we heard to start the segment, Yeah, 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.640 he said, with all nine justices saying he needs to 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:21.760 go through due. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.560 Process for these people. So that that's correct, that's accurate. 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.919 Yeah, you know, I mean that's a one sided interpretation 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.520 of what was done. On the one hand, it was, yeah, 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.720 you have this power under the Wartime Act as far 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.720 as we can tell, but everybody has to go through 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:38.800 due process. So it was, you know, a little peanut butter, 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.919 a little jelly if you will, I. 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.040 Don't know, a little league coach here and there, and 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:45.719 ship them off to one of the worst prisons in 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:46.040 the world. 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:48.359 Omelet Eggs. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.040 I appreciate your finally wrought sarcasm, sir, but I tell 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.880 you what. Looking into the case of the one Salvadoran 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.960 fellow who was alleged to be a member of MS thirteen, 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.160 different gang and got shipped off, and now there are 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.000 a couple of suits and cases going on, and the 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:09.559 judge ordered that he'd be brought back. Really interesting legal 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.680 fight going on over that. I dug pretty deeply into 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.719 it yesterday, including reading the transcripts of the actual case, 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:22.159 and it was a serious mistake. I don't see any 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.800 good evidence that the guy was an MS thirteen member. 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.960 In fact, as a boy, a young boy, he was 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.120 brought to the United States because the gang thing was 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.520 so ugly where he lived, and they were trying to 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.640 compel him to join the gang. For reasons that are 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.520 a little complicated. His parents had a business. They're being 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.440 extorted by the gangs, blah blah blah, horrible, and it 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.520 was like, we need, we need young men in our gang. 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.680 It'd be a shame of something happened to your business. 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:51.000 So they said, you know, terrified and and grief stricken. 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.440 Send the boy to live with his aunt and uncle 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:57.080 in the US because this is too dangerous. He's never 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.760 been accused of anything, he's never been arrested for anything. 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:04.080 He had one informant who said he associates with quote 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:09.159 unquote MS thirteen guys. Now it could be that that's true, 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.279 and if he's an active MS thirteen guy, bring him back, 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.720 go through due process, then ship his ass out. But 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.479 here's here's the thing. And if you do not share 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.440 this principle with me, we can't be friends. We have 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:30.120 got to every time tell the government before you take 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:34.320 away somebody's liberty or their property or their life, you 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:39.880 prove to whatever level is appropriate. Because criminal law, civil law, 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.960 immigration law, they all have different standards, which is fine, 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:47.120 but you've got to prove to that standard that what 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:51.200 you're doing is justified. Because if we the people start 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:55.080 you know, going soft on well, he was an allegal immigrant, 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.480 therefore we can do anything we want with them, even 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.000 though he's been here for years and has an America 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.719 wife and American children. It's very close to I said, 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.640 they came for the Jews, and I said nothing. They 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.880 came for the Catholics, and I said nothing, et cetera. 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:10.880 We've just got to have that in place, even when 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.559 it's annoying and time consuming. Now, does that include somebody 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.960 who sneeze across the border and the border patrol grabs 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:19.800 them right there. 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.880 No turn around, boot their ass out. That's fine. Man, 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.040 that's a horrible story. 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.840 That reminds me of the Clint Eastwood movie Grand Tarino, 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.360 where that poor kid was being you know, they're trying 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.000 to force them into the gang. Yeah, you know, your 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.800 parents don't want their kids to be in the gangs. 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.920 But man, what an awful situation. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:40.160 Yeah. 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.720 So, I actually think this is a pretty balanced ruling. 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.680 I'm gonna look into it more. It's interesting because there 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.760 have been three very similar cases, each of which has 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:54.080 been five to four. But Justice Roberts and amy Cony 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:59.280 Barrett's votes are very much in play, and she dissented. 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.920 Amy Cony bar did at least in part and joined 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:07.200 the three liberals on the case. And I have a 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:11.720 feeling it is one of the most sacred conservative principles. 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:16.840 And that is the big stupid bureaucracy. A government doesn't 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.920 get to f with the people without really good reasons, 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.720 and just because it's and I know I'm going against 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.760 the grain here of a lot of talk radio. But 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:28.560 just because it's a group that you don't have a 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.920 lot of sympathy for, you give away that principle. And 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:32.920 we don't have a country. We don't have our country 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.079 anymore anyway. Enough said, So. 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.000 You could portray it if you want to do, like 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:41.960 a drive by media they've brought back the dire Wolf 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.640 sort of headline. You could portray this as good news 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.520 for the Trump administration or bad news for the Trump administration. 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.800 Absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can keep doing it, but 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:53.000 you've got to be more careful. 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:54.400 That's what the ruling said. 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:58.959 By all nine justicials. You got to follow due process. Yeah, 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.920 which I got promo with that greatest country on Earth. 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.760 Simply safe home Security wants to help you with the 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:11.079 problems of progressive law enforcement policies that would be decriminalized 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.840 in crime, letting junkies set up camps in your neighborhood, 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.520 the rest of it.

But they are causing problems all 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.640 across the country in movie theaters. It has grown exponentially 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.959 since I brought it up yesterday. Wow, there's a problem 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.719 for movie theaters. We've got an example of it coming up. 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.559 Maybe warn your kids before they go to the Minecraft 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:39.280 movie to keep them out of trouble. Chicken jockey, stay tuned, armstrong, 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:45.840 chicken jockey. So my kids have been saying this for weeks. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.400 I didn't pay any attention to it, but I know 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.600 they and their friends were saying chicken jockey for weeks. 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.160 It's a it's a meme that has come out of 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:57.760 the Minecraft movie, and like they ran enough promos that 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.199 all the kids were aware of it, and it was 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.480 already like the thing you had to say to each 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.760 other to show your I don't know part of the 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:08.520 tribe or however civilization works, this. 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.240 Year's skivity, this month's or what. 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:16.679 This is bigger than that and definitely more real than that. 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.200 That was just so disappointing. I was disappointed in human 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.720 guind for that one. Let me read from the Economic Times, 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:26.520 which rights pretty in a funny way about this. Yeah, 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.600 meet the chicken jockey. Tiny, rare and totally ununhinged unless 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.360 you're a diehard Minecraft fan. That's where it comes from 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.040 the movie. The term chicken jockey might sound like an 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.200 odd combination of barnyard animal and rodeo event, but in 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.520 Minecraft lore, this rare and quirky creature is something of 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.320 a digital unicorn, a baby zombie writing a chicken. Its 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.960 in game appearance is staggeringly rare, just a point to 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.920 five percent chance if no chickens are nearby, and a 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.439 point five percent chance if they are when you were 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.880 playing Minecraft. 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.680 But it little better with the presence of chickens. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.120 Every once in a while, it will just show up, 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.760 and then it's very, very exciting. I guess then all 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.600 of a sudden, you got a chicken jockey in your 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.920 little Minecraft scenario that you're dealing with while you're playing 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.600 your video games. So I mentioned I played this yesterday, 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:14.880 you can start it. My son was at the movie 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:19.040 theater with all his friends opening night for Chicken Jockey 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:30.360 and he gets his phone out here let's listen, So 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.000 everybody says chicken Jockey at the same time and collapse. 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.000 And the fact that my son had his phone out 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.040 already is I don't even know. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.959 What that is doing. It was coming and everything, but it's. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.079 Grown and it's become a thing. Here's the latest version 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:56.199 of it, a different theater. People going wild, throwing things, 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:02.400 jumping around, police having to come, people. 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.959 Being leased, police coming, people being escorted out of theaters. 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.800 And then people chanting and singing at them as they're 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:11.360 dragged out. 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:11.719 Right. 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.520 So I'm just just letting you know because this is 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.720 I'm guessing that's enough of that, Michael. I'm guessing that 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:23.560 this weekend it is going to reach its zenith, would 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:27.280 be my guess, and then it will go away forever. 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.720 But it's going to be mayhem in the theaters. So 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.080 just be prepared if you're sending your kid or going 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.120 with your kids, Like if you're going with a younger kid, 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.840 we're prepared to have popcorn thrown on your head when 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.880 the chicken jockey appears. 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.080 I feel like I'm watching the strange mating rituals of 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.320 the ostrich or something like that. These are humans and 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.240 this is something they do. 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.560 This this article in The Economic Times is really good 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.280 divided fandom, hilarious hype or public nuisance. 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.080 I'll have to do a deep dive on that. I 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:00.480 don't know which it is actually. 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.280 I just feel like The Economic Times is way out 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:04.040 of its lane. 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.920 But whatever. Jack. 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.680 Speaking of chickens, everyone wants to raise chickens, but egg 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.200 layers can be bad neighbors. 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.600 It's the cost of eggs don't you know, as I've 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.040 been saying for a couple of weeks, I don't know 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.920 how many eggs you eat. Again, that's always my bottom line. 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.400 I mean, if you eat fifty eggs a day, I 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.760 suppose maybe you need to do something. But you do 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.960 not want to get into the I'm owning chickens business 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.200 just because the price of eggs is high for a while. 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.320 I would suggest that there is. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:43.960 A failure to perform mathematics or right end, a failure 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.480 to properly anticipate who's going to take care of the 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.760 damn things. If you want to go on vacation or whatever, Hey, 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.080 can you stop buy three times a day and tend 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:58.000 to my chickens? No, not at any cost. A decade ago, 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:02.520 Jack backyard chickens or on. We're more a niche for 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.840 part time farmers and urban hipsters. But the COVID nineteen pandemic, 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.720 and more recently the spiking egg prices has sent America's 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:10.960 Americans flocking for their own poultry. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:11.680 It's plan worse. 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.280 Wow, they said, flocking, and we're talking about birds. That's 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:15.000 really something. 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:19.080 There were eleven million households with backyard chickens last year, 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:23.400 up from about half that number in twenty eighteen, according 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:30.960 to the American Pet Products Association. Even US Agriculture Secretary 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.440 Brook Rollins recently jumped in, by the way, what percentage 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.560 of Americans could name the egg secretary? 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:37.960 Well, maybe in the heartline they could. 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:41.320 Anyway, recently jumped in saying she wants to help Americans 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.520 save money by making it easier to raise their own 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:44.200 egg layers. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.760 You're going to save money by. 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.400 First of all, making sure that you can do this 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:56.360 wherever you live, because there is noise and chicken guano 0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:00.080 is so stinky, and the startup call. 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.120 And all of the care they take, they require it. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.760 It's the Uh, it's your time. So if you like 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:08.200 this as a hobby, cool, but. 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:15.560 Yeah, being being a gentleman farmer, a gentlewoman farmer. Uh, 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.560 if you like I mean, if you can figure out 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.360 how to make this work, you know, it's it's it's interesting, 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.760 it's primal, it's it's agriculture, which is great. 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.480 But I was thinking about this while I was dealing 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.400 with my computer, which I still want to talk about. 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.600 In the many hours I invested in trying to get 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.800 my son's computer fixed, and this article I read a 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:35.960 couple of years ago. I wish I could find it. 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.160 It was so good. I talked about it on the 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:43.000 air a lot about calculating what your time is worth 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.520 and thinking about that on a regular basis. 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:47.640 Oh, I remember. 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:52.880 Bird flu, bird flu coincidental thinking about what your time 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.600 is worth. And and most people, including me, don't do that. 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.920 And you you do a lot of things you probably 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.440 shouldn't do. You should either hire somebody to do or something, 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:09.639 because you would never take that job for the amount 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.439 of money that you're getting paid, which is nothing. But 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.840 you would never take that job before even a decent 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.760 amount of money, because no, I'm not gonna spend my 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:21.320 Saturday X, you know, driving to Best Buys to try 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.040 to get my computer fixed. I mean, if somebody approach you, hey, 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.960 I'll give you fifty bucks to spend your entire Saturday 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:28.879 afternoon dealing with this computer thing. 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.600 You take no way, but you know it's what are 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.399 you saved by driving or whatever? 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:33.760 Yeah? 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:36.199 Right, And it's just it doesn't quite make sense. And 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:37.879 the same thing with the chicken thing. How much is 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:38.520 your time worth? 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:38.760 Now? 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.159 If you if you're enjoying this, fine, but are you 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.800 do you want to spend an hour a day or 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:45.560 two hours a day, or it ends. 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.200 Up being to get cheaper eggs. 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:53.040 I did not even get to my favorite chicken statistics. 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:55.120 Does it involved jockeys at all? 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:59.719 No, these are unjockeyed chickens. That's the hot thing right now. 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:01.240 You got to get a jockey involved. 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:03.240 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.600 The reason we're not talking about tariffs with Russia is 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:11.080 because we're not doing business essentially with Russia because they're 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.240 in a war and I'm not happy about what's going 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:14.720 on with. 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:16.879 The bombing. 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.320 Is a bombing like crazy right now. I don't know 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:24.000 what's happening there. That's not a good situation. So we're 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:28.119 meeting with Russia, we're meeting with Ukraine, and we're getting 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.040 sort of close, but I'm not happy with all the 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.520 bombing that's going in the last week or so. 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.159 So Trump once again in the Oval Office yesterday with 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.000 Benjamin nuttyaw who took some questions, and that. 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.840 One about the. 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.520 Peace process between Russia and Ukraine. I don't know if 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:48.680 a peace process exists in any way. Actually they're trying 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:54.320 to get one started. Unless he starts saying even stronger 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.960 things about Russia. There is no leverage against Russia. Why 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:02.520 would they quit? No him, So that's that one. And 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.240 then the other hot spot in the world is Iran, 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:06.480 and he was asked about that. 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:13.480 We're having direct talks with Iran and they've started. It'll 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.359 go on Saturday, we have a very big meeting, or 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:19.680 we'll see what can happen. And I think everybody agrees 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:24.320 that doing a deal would be preferable to. 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:25.280 Doing the obvious. 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.080 And the obvious is not something that I want to 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.280 be involved with, or frankly that Israel wants to be 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:34.240 involved with if they can avoid it. So when going 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:34.760 to see if. 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.520 We can avoid it, and the obvious is what he 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.160 talked about last week, which is a bombing the likes 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.280 of which they have never seen or the world has 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:43.399 never seen, or some language like that. 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:45.800 Right, Yeah, yeah, Well. 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:50.160 That's that's well put, it's well stated. I think he's 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.439 one hundred percent right. It's going to be a hell 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.199 of a tough nut to crack. The Iranians are among 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.320 the best at appearing to cooperate and sign a deal 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:04.000 meanwhile continuing their efforts, but Trump knows that well. 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:08.359 There are various claims that Iran is just days from 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:12.400 being able to put together a nuclear weapon and then 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:17.320 that changes everything in the Middle East. So the difference 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:19.880 between this and the Russia thing is obviously the leverage 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:23.080 of he has stated out loud, We're going to bomb 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:27.520 the crap out of you. If you don't, we will 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.000 take out your nuclear program if you don't agree to, 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.359 you know, pare it down to something that's only about energy. 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.800 So that don't have that leverage with Russia. Yeah, and 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.240 why don't we have that leverage with Russia because they 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:41.480 have nuclear weapons. 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.160 That's why you don't want Iran to get nuclear weapons. Yeah, 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.520 they have the most nuclear weapons. Yeah, I would. 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.160 I would say that's exactly the right bargaining posture with Iran. 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.200 Anything else is just fantasy land. 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:54.200 Well, that'll be exciting. 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.199 You think he comes to a deal with him, or 0:20:58.200 --> 0:20:59.320 do you think the bombs fly? 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:02.120 Yeah? 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:06.879 I think we end up bombing us in Israel. 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:11.919
