WEBVTT - I Like "Rub Me" 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.720 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:17.239 and Jettie and He Armstrong and Jetty. 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:27.800 A friend of mine who's slightly overweight, to put it mildly, 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.479 went to a drug store in London and he was 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:31.960 able to. 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:33.120 Get one of the fat shots. 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.720 I caught the fat shots, said jamiad. 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.200 You lose weight. He knows exactly what I was talking about. 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.760 He called. He said that was interesting. He said he 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.839 was very concerned that I might use his name. I 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.680 might slip. Now he doesn't have to worry. But he 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.600 told me. He said, Hey, a strange thing happened. 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.880 I just bought the drug, same company, same plan, same everything. 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.800 Everything was the same in New York thirteen hundred dollars, 0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:59.680 and in London, I'm paying eighty eight dollars. 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.560 He said, what's going on? Now? He knew not that 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:02.880 he's a. 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.840 Very smart guy, He's a very rich guy. His big 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.240 problem is he's seriously overweight. But I don't think the 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.600 drug worked. Okay, to be honest with you, but it 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:11.959 makes him feel good anyway. 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.479 That's like day three of Trump's story about his fat friend, 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:18.520 his drugs. 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:24.640 He so workshops his comedy routine, tries it for different audiences. 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.120 I don't want to I'm gonna get into the foreign 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:28.880 policy speech he gave yesterday. I don't want to get 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.920 sidetracked by this whole drug prescription thing. It is so complicated, though. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:36.640 I've listened to a number of podcasts where they got 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.840 into the details, and it's so easily easy to be 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.520 misled by a lot of statistics. So a lot of 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:47.240 the now it sounds like they're his fat friend, very fat, 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.680 incredibly fat. A fat friend there was paying thirteen hundred 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.680 dollars in New York and paid eighty dollars in London. 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:54.320 Wanted to know why. 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.640 That's a perfectly reasonable question, like why am I paying 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.360 so much in the United States and so cheap here? 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.960 When we develop the reasonable question. But just in general, 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:04.960 a lot of the stuff you hear about drugs, the 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.720 statistics for costs, it's for the name brand, which practically 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.639 none of us are actually getting. We're getting the generic, 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.359 so it's the tiniest percentage of that, so it misleads 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.320 the statistics. There's all kinds of things going on in 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.079 that world that make it hard to nail down. 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.880 And the way money flows into and out of various entities, 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.160 from your insurance company to the pharmacies, to the drug 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.040 companies to the pharmacy benefit managers. An unholy group of 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.480 humans if there ever was. When yes, so complicated. 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.200 I'm on eight drugs for the swooping coth right now, 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.760 which is crazy. But like so, I went to the 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.960 doctor on Saturday after spending time there, and I think 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.760 it picked up four new drugs, just like everybody else 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.640 when they go to pharmacy. I had the slightest idea 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.640 what the little screen was going to say they cost, 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.320 had no idea. I wasn't very worried about it because 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.280 it probably wasn't gonna be very much. So like was 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.400 three cents, one them was a dollar five, one them 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.840 was forty four bucks, and then the other one was 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:07.040 like four and. 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.040 I just pressed okay and tapped my card and walked 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.000 out the door. And I don't have any imagine if 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:12.959 groceries are like that. 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.800 Let's see, this ham will be one hundred and seventy 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.200 five dollars, this bread is two cents, this cheese will 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:23.000 be a dollar one, And you think, okay, right. 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:23.760 And I don't have. 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.320 Well, it's way more complicated than even that example, because 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.560 like somebody may have been that one that cost eight cents, 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.880 my insurance company might have paid a five hundred dollars 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.320 for and I got spread around everybody else that's insured 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:37.640 by that company for some reason. 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:38.240 I don't know. 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:40.680 I don't know any idea what it actually cost the 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.080 insurance company. And then what are what are my options 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:50.080 anyway to not press Okay, I will not pay forty 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.240 four dollars for whatever that drug is. It should be 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:54.120 much less than that. 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.400 And incur the wrath of the already surly pharmacy employee. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:03.200 No way feel bad for those people. The other day 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.040 I got to the pharmacy. I've been there way too 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.440 much lately. I get there and some old guys walk 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.840 in my way and he says he said something old timey. 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.040 He says, like railroading. Me, it's train robbery or something 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.920 like that. I said, what's that and he said, it's 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.960 train robbery around here, that's what it is. I just 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:24.960 kind of said, like, the poor girl who's you know, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.160 at pharmacy school, has any role in it whatsoever? 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:29.240 What's she supposed to do? 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:30.760 I don't know. 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.920 It's your insurance. I work for CBS. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:37.719 They I don't know, what do you want such a mess? Okay, 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:42.960 different topic than Trump's fat fat friend. Who people who 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:44.680 know Trump and his friends are trying to figure out 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:45.520 which fat friend. 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:46.320 That he's talking about. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:52.480 So Donald Trump gave like a forty five minute speech 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:56.840 yesterday in Saudi Arabia. And this was Mark Halprin's ride 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.719 up of it today, in which he said Trump's Tuesday speech, 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.000 which shockingly gets almost zero coverage in the American media, 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.480 was one for the ages, with some observers not unreasonably 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.520 calling it extraordinary and some supporters saying it was one 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.479 of the best and most important addresses by a US 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.440 president in many, many years. It warn't your time to 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.040 watch it and full if you have not to understand 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.320 Trump's unusual distinctive worldview. Now I'm going to read a 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.880 little bit from you that will, you know, portray that worldview. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:27.600 But I also wonder, since Trump is a very interesting 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.400 guy who's primarily interested in economics and that sort of stuff, 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.000 although he was pretty hardcore anti the Iraq war back 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.440 in the day, like, how much of this speech did 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.560 he sit down with speech writers and explain to them 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.000 what he wanted to communicate. 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.080 Did Jade Vance write most of this? 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.400 And Trump is like, sure, fine, I don't care, or 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.400 what I don't I don't actually know, but let me 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.120 read some of it. Oh, and he's talking about the 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.520 success of all the people in that room, because he 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.120 had people from Saudi Arabia and Qatar and you know, 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.920 those rich areas of the Middle East that we see 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.760 with their gleaming buildings and more modern than anything we've 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.880 got in the United States. It's crucial for the wider 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.480 world to know this great transformation has not come from 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.240 Western interventionists or flying people in beautiful planes giving you 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.080 lectures on how to live and how to govern your 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.640 own affairs. In the end, the so called nation builders 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.279 racked far more nations than they built, and the interventionalists 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.760 were intervening in societies they did not understand themselves. No, 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.960 the gleaming marbles of Riad and Abu Dhabi were not 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.800 created by the so called nation builders, neo cons or 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.440 liberal nonprofits like those who spent trillions and trillions of 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.600 dollars failing to develop Bagdad and so many other cities. 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.640 That's a good point. Now, this is very JD. Vanside. 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.560 That's what I thought, solidly reasoned so far decent point. 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.440 Though we poured trillion I don't know about trillions, but 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.240 lots of money into Baghdad. It's till everything it's ever 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:06.200 been Abu Dhabi and ryodd that was ground up from 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:06.800 the inside. 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:07.479 Anyway, back to. 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.360 Every mind the zillions of dollars spent in Afghanistan. 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.800 Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.679 brought by the people of the region themselves, the people 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.040 that are right here, the people that have lived here 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.920 all their lives, Developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.920 own unique visions and charting your own destinies in your 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.240 own way. They told you how to do it, but 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.760 they had no idea how to do it themselves. Peace, prosperity, 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.720 and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.760 your heritage, but rather from embracing your national traditions and 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.800 embracing the same heritage that you loved so dearly. You 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.320 achieved a modern miracle, the Arabian way. 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:51.160 No wonder people respect you so much. I thought that 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:56.720 was really interesting. Yeah, agreed, it's really good outreach too. 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:02.240 I think it's savvy most gleaming modern. 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.120 Look like something from the jets and cities in the 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.960 world did come from those local societies. Whether you hate 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.080 their culture or politics or the way they treat women 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.800 or whatever, they were able to build these unbelievable cities. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.920 And we've tried so hard to turn. 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.520 Kabul and Bagdad and a whole bunch of other different 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.960 places in the Middle East into god, you know, anything 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.160 close to Cincinnati, and we haven't come within a million miles. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.400 Yeah, this it gets a little more complicated, but you know, 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.839 the broad outlines of your point I think are true. 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.439 It helps to have unlimited numbers of petro dollars. And 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.320 the whole modern gleaming thing is partly because there wasn't 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:48.160 anything there twenty years ago. So yeah, it's it's modern gleaming, 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:49.079 because what else would it be. 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.959 Yeah, but I think a certain amount of it has 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:52.520 to do with. 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.200 Taking off the restrictions of here's the way we feel 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.959 like you need to treat women, gay people, minorities, disentrenchised, 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.920 all this different sort of stuff, all these ties that 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.719 come with it, as opposed to Trump saying, hey, it's 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.840 your society, it's your customs, it's your heritage. 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.920 You know, you're building it the way you want, and hey, 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:10.640 look at your city. 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:16.120 And honestly, in spite of the lack of success with 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.280 China doing this, I think there's probably a fair amount 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.079 of Hey, let's get these guys up and involved in 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.880 world economics and international diplomacy and have them intertwined with 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.240 bunches of other countries and it'll drag them into the 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.840 modern era much more effectively than browbeating them will. 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.760 Anyway, Well, there's zero is there any Are there any 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.000 good examples of us trying to build from the ground 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.319 up one of these uh, turn one of these citters 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:43.480 around having it work. 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:47.040 Ceruly not in the Middle East? 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.400 Yeah, it depends, you know, how much involvement over what 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:55.120 period of time you're talking about. And interestingly enough, there 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.640 were some pretty good success stories in Africa, but those 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.880 of on completely to hell now and you could argue that, well, 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.000 that's because they didn't build up the infrastructure. It's like 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.600 we're watching the we're doing a bit of a remodel 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.840 on our house, and it's been super interesting to see 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.959 how they dig the hole for the footings and then 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.439 pour the foundation and all the rebar and the cinder 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.400 blocks and stuff like that. And we've made the point 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.880 many times that our system of government, our rights that 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:30.800 we enjoy, our constitution are built on the concrete and 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.320 rebar and cinder blocks of hundreds of years of English 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.679 common law, Judeo Christian principles, the rest of it. And 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.880 then if you try to build, at the risk of 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.319 belaboring the metaphor, if you try to build the house 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:49.160 of that sort of thing on sand, it's not going 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:53.280 to work. And so Trump is saying, y'all build your 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.680 foundations the way you want and then let's do business. 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:56.920 So you think JD. 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.920 Vance had a hand in that whole speech, both hands. 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:11.079 It was completely It's a complete rejection of George Bush's 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:17.559 ideas of nation building, and it's a rejection of democratic 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.280 presidents with their coming in there with we'll give you money, 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.079 but here's the way we think you should live. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.040 It's a complete rejection of that too. 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.599 Yeah, I'm still super for the record, I'm super uncomfortable 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.760 with the fact that Cutter, for instance, is trying to 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:36.720 buy influence in America hundreds of billions of dollars, perverting 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:42.440 our colleges, having them become just vipers nests of Islamism, 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.000 anti Israel rhetoric, the rest of it. There are huge 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.360 supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood on Islamist organization that would 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.079 like Sharia law to conquer the entire earth, and they're 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.600 not spending hundreds of billions of dollars backing that because 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.160 they don't believe it or don't. 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:57.400 Agree with it. 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.600 But there are those things we don't have to let 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.960 them do that. We can let them build their big, 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.559 gleaming city. We don't have to let them, you know, 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:05.840 influence our colleges. 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:11.120 Well right now, well right, yeah, for instance, that's not 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.600 gonna happen, but more on that later. Uh yeah, Well 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.080 the argument would be, well, we don't want to participate 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.040 in enriching them, so they have even more finances to 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:27.440 back terrorism. M But you know, I'm if JD. Vans 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.520 were to say to me, dude, that'll go away of 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.640 its own. That's what I think on a cord. It's 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.160 not a stupid argument. I'm not sure I agree with it, 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.000 but it's it's worth considering. 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.839 They play, they beat, They more than play footsie with 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.839 the terrorists, no doubt about it. But I don't think 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.920 MBS his goal in life is not to establish a 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:48.320 Muslim caliphate. 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:54.480 No, I don't think so. No, not to be starving 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.960 poor when the oil runs out. Yeah, exactly. 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:02.120 Anyway, I thought that was damned interesting and got zero attention, zero, 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:07.160 no coverage whatsoever. And he talked quite a bit about 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.160 becoming friends with a Ryan again and how we don't 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:13.080 have to be enemies and all that. Different topic, different name. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.720 As they screamed toward getting a bond a bomb. George 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.400 Biden did not recognize George Clooney. Breaking news among other things, 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:27.440 George Biden, Joe Biden, Let me read it again. Take 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:29.840 Joe Biden did not recognize George Clooney. 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.040 What breaking news? Among other things? Coming up? Stay toue. 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.760 I'm tired of dumb movies. I want to talk about 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:43.760 that later. Dumb movies. Not this is not a place 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.480 for them, but I'm tired of dumb movies. By the way, 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:49.920 breaking news, HBO max Max is changing its name back 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:51.040 to HBO Max. 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:56.280 Oh this changes everything, all right? 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.320 Fine, Speaking of stupid stories, This was sent along by 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.559 alert listener William. I think this has to do with 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.640 the UK. But if you're a pilot you may know this. 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:10.240 The world has two hundred and eighty thousand aviation GPS 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:16.080 waypoints that have a code assigned to them. It's part 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:20.000 of the navigation process. And apparently I think this is 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:25.080 in the UK, air traffic controllers are refusing to use 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:29.240 potentially offensive route names and are forcing the regulator to 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:34.720 rename them. These are random five letter codes that were 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:41.040 assigned and now in the twenty first century the air 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.880 twenty twenty five, some of them are seen as offensive 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.600 and the air traffic controllers just don't even want to 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:51.040 say them. This is so childish and stupid. Here are 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.280 the five most offensive ones that need to be renamed. 0:14:56.040 --> 0:15:03.320 Pik e y pike it's an offensive, uh racial slur 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:09.800 referring to roma gypsies so called Irish travelers. Others include 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:16.600 ak knob U t I t I, which I guess 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:21.720 is pronounced to you titty, and ratpoo r A t 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:26.400 p O, and also coxp CO x p E. 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.680 I don't particularly like that name. That second one, who's 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:34.560 out to rub me as an activity or a name 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.880 for a GPS thing. No, no, no, let's stick with 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.000 the topic here. These are way points, navigation waypoints. Yeare 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:41.320 are U B M I. 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.400 Pikey's going to be renamed Vaxima. Oh that's that's like 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:52.680 forcing vaccines. Donald throats COXP will now be far Joe. 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:57.680 Okay, seriously, you people got nothing more important to worry about. 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.360 All the problems in the world. All that is is 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.560 all the hunger, all everything, and this is your cost. 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.360 Right Somewhere in there is that whole narcissism of small 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:08.600 differences thing or something. 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:15.080 Yeah, or the princess and the pe idea that look, 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.320 look at me, how sensitive and enlightened I am. 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.880 I'm bothered by old COXP every time. I never every 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.680 time I try to fly through Britain, somebody says Coxpe 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:25.680 to me, and I'm tired of it. Obscene. 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.760 We do need a world We need a world war 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:29.320 or a great depression to get us out of this. 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.600 Although we thought the like a worldwide pandemic might fix it, 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.960 and it didn't know in certain some way that made 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:35.280 it worse. 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.720 Yeah, yeah, things worse. That's disappointing. 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.680 On the other hand, you got medical science forging ahead. 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.640 You need a kidney, you can't get one, borrow one 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:51.920 from your neighborhood. Pig pig kidneys. There's a pig borrowing 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.480 borrow one familiar with them, borrow. 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:55.840 One like you'll return it when you're done with it, 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:59.000 and from your neighborhood pig which is not exactly a thing, 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:00.000 depending on your neighborhood. 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:07.160 I was just trying to be I don't know lyrical anyway. 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.960 Yeah, but that is a major medical breakthrough, and we'll 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:11.720 have a little news on that, among other things on 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:12.040 the way. 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:16.560 Stay here, Armstrong and. 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.480 Getty observing this ultrasund that is an ultrasound at a 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.119 pig kidney inside Tim, Is there anything in there that 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:25.560 makes it clear that it's a pig kidney? 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.320 No, exactly like a humor one. 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:31.200 And not only does it look like one eight weeks postoperatively, 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:32.640 it's acting like one. 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.280 The level of kidney function is as good as we 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:38.320 would expect from a human kidney transplant. 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:43.119 Holy cow, nice job, pig kidney. 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.680 So, kidneys is one of the big ones, because why 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.000 do your kidneys go south on you? Just happens sometimes. 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.160 High blood pressure is one major cost because a liver. 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.320 Is often a drinking and drugs thing, right, But kidneys 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:59.520 can just fail on you. Yeah, are some drugs you 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.439 pross us through your kidneys. But I don't know much 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:01.760 about it. 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.040 Anyway, so you got two of those, you got one liver, 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.560 you got two kidneys, my right, so far. And then 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.920 if you need a new kidney, somebody who has a 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:12.800 is a match for you, you can have to take 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:14.359 one of their kidneys, because a person can get buy 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:18.399 on one kidney, right, right, But that's always been you 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.480 have no kidneys, that's a drag, right, and then you 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.239 got to find somebody of the kidney. And sometimes you're 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:24.560 on the list and thinking, man, if I don't get 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.399 a kidney, soon, I'm gonna be kidney lists, which you 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:30.040 can't be, and then you'll die. Nobody want to say, yes, Katie, 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:31.080 do you know something about kidneys? 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:31.680 Well? 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:35.240 Yeah, I have a kidney disease, and the transplant list 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.760 for kidneys is the longest out of all of the organs. 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:40.639 Do you still have both yours? I do? 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.719 They both work for the most part, yes, But if 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:47.639 there are cancers that affect the kidneys, there are all 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:49.080 sorts of things that can hurt them. 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.560 Yeah, how'd you ruin your kidneys? It's just a like 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:55.680 genetic thing, or it's a genetic thing, gotcha, m And 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:56.280 then but. 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.000 So we've been hearing about this our whole lives, and 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.000 now if they could use pig needs, that would eliminate 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:01.600 the whole problem. 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:05.119 I assume, Yeah, unless you're a pig, then it caused 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.600 a whole new set of problems. But the point remains, 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.560 it's an event. More of doctor Sanjay Gupta's report. 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:15.120 Now, there is one complication they're watching for very carefully, 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:17.880 something that has unique to zeno transplants. 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:19.439 And think we not only. 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:20.879 Tim maybe all of us. 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.320 If there is some sort of weird or strange virus 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.600 in the pig and it gets into the human population 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.760 through one of these transplants, might not only affect the patient, 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:31.760 but people around the patient as well. 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.400 In all the studies that we're doing, we're not only 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.680 monitoring the patient, but their close context. 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.320 You're right, these stories are always presented from the human 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:43.400 being point of view, and not from the pig's point 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.000 of view, in which he would say, Hey, I was 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:45.560 using this. 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:50.440 Whoa whoa, whoa whoa. You show me where I said 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:51.240 this was cool. 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.040 It is not cool, by the way, the idea of 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.399 some horrendous pig virus spreading to humans. 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:57.720 Doctor Fauci says, what. 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.640 It's probably doing experiments in North Korea right now it's 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:07.720 some leaky lab financing that good thing, Biden pardoned. I'll 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:10.760 never forget one more nugget from this story. 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:15.639 This is really the progress of several Nobel Prize winning discoveries, 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:20.359 everything from Crisper, which is gene editing technology actually taking 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.920 genes out of the pig genome adding other genes in 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.560 from humans into the pig genome. They also use cloning, 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:32.440 They use IVF, they use transplant immunology. These are just huge, 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:34.520 huge developments in the world of medicine that have all 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.080 sort of come together to make this work. But they 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:39.720 basically make the pig genome compatible with humans. 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:41.640 That's what they do. Two legs good, four legs bad. 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:42.480 That's where you end up. 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.840 Fall in love with her cute little snout, her hooves. 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:49.440 Let me stroke your hooves, my love. 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:51.960 That'd be cool if this becomes a thing of the past, 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:53.160 having to worry about kidneys. 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.920 Do they get to vote these half human, half big 0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:02.359 well not exactly half. Yes, yeah, I do have to 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:02.560 tell you. 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:04.520 During that report, when they were giving the guy the 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:07.399 ultrasound to show him the kidney, he he rubbed his 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.080 stomach and went, you can feel the little piggy, right, 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:12.520 there a little cringey. 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:17.200 That's very cringey. And do you every time you eat 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.000 like bacon, do you kind of just like not up 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:21.320
