1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 3: I always say you have to learn from every experience.

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 3: I think it was very unfair the way they attacked Michael.

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 3: He's a a big person. The main thing was nothing happened.

7
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: The attack was totally successful. It was I guess from

8
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 3: what I understand, took place during and it wasn't classified information.

9
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 3: So this was not classified.

10
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 4: Wasn't classified information that I don't know. What's classified and

11
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 4: what's not classified seems to be an ongoing question in

12
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 4: our country, depending on which parties on the wrong side

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 4: of having boxes in their garage next to their corvette

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 4: or in the batmarl lago or on a private server

15
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 4: in New York if you're Hillary or whatever. We keep

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 4: hearing different stories about what's classified and what's not. Were

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 4: they war plans or not? It seems pretty clear. But

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 4: before we get to that, based on today's news. But

19
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 4: here's a little more. Donald Trump, I.

20
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 3: Don't know anything about Sigma. I wasn't involved in this,

21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: but I just turned about it and I hear It's

22
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: used by a lot of groups. It's used by the

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: media a lot, it's used by a lot of the military,

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: and I think successfully.

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: But sometimes somebody.

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: Can get onto those things. That's one of the prices

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: you pay when you're not sitting in the situation room

28
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: with no phones on, which is always the best frantically.

29
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't understand why they don't do that

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 4: more often. I mean, I got to believe prior to

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: fifteen years ago, didn't they all have to get together

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: in a room more or less. Yeah, you wouldn't use

33
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 4: a landline for that.

34
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: From now, I wouldn't think.

35
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: So.

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 4: Was it just that I feel that kind of comes

37
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 4: with the job. If I'm CIA director or Secretary of State,

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 4: I get called in on Saturdays at two because we're

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 4: going to discuss the biggest military attack of the administration,

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: and you've got to be there in person. You can't

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 4: be your son's soccer game, jumping on the phone real

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: quick to text U.

43
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: I've worked in zero administrations. I would love to hear

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: the answer to this question. Putting aside partisanship and raw

46
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: for my side or boo for the other side, I

47
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: would just like to know the idea being Yeah, I'm

48
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: running around doing my job and my real life, but

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: the National Security Advisor wanted to update us and let

50
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: us know that the weather is clear and things.

51
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: Are looking good.

52
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to be called in to

53
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: a skiff for the you know, the situation room to

54
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: get that sort of update. I think it's appropriate that

55
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: I don't have any they have a way to communicate.

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: I'm both shocked and not shocked given our current political climate,

57
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 4: I guess it's not shocking, but how why can't we

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 4: get an answer on all of this stuff? What's classified?

59
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 4: What's not classified? What are the penalties for this? When

60
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 4: are you supposed to use this signal?

61
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: App or not?

62
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 4: To see how I hate directresses? Everybody uses it. Lots

63
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: of people say everybody use it, have then use it.

64
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: Other people say it's outrageous, it's ridiculous that anybody even

65
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 4: considered using it. Okay, Well, those are two very polar

66
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 4: opposite points of view, and one of them is true.

67
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: I assume or even the story that no, there was

68
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: an update in February that went out that said, no,

69
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: the Russians have figured out a way to hack signal,

70
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: don't use it.

71
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: Anymore. Well, clearly somebody didn't hear it.

72
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: I find it impossible to believe that Marco Rubio right

73
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: got that update and said, yeah, well I really like

74
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: signal though, so I'm gonna go ahead and take my chances.

75
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: I just don't buy that.

76
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 4: I'm surprised I haven't heard from Marco in this whole thing,

77
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 4: because he's a very serious guy. The fact that he

78
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 4: was on there as part of that makes me think

79
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: that it is done regularly, or he would have said, no,

80
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: what are we doing here?

81
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: I'm just guessing. I'm just guessing.

82
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: I have a feeling Marco, who is very serious and

83
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: very buttoned up, is horrified and pissed off at Mike

84
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: Walltz and or his staff for this misstep, and so

85
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: he wants to he doesn't. He does not want his

86
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: name to be anything but a name on the you know,

87
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: the list of people who are involved.

88
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 2: Wants to stay out of it, so exactly keep his distance.

89
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: So the way this.

90
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: Unraveled, uh. The Atlantic guy Jeffrey Goldberg puts out a

91
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: few of the messages in his article yesterday just to

92
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 4: like have receipts that I was actually on the thing,

93
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 4: and the White House confirmed those are real. He didn't

94
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: give much more than that. I think for reasons of

95
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 4: national security. He thought, you know, it wouldn't do us

96
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 4: any good to put out more of this stuff.

97
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 2: But then he was like what he.

98
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: Said, specifically, I didn't want any dange any troops or operations.

99
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: But then he was called a liar by a number

100
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: of people, Tulsea Gabbard and others, Walls and hags Eth.

101
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: You know, no war planning was mentioned in that text thread,

102
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: so gold nothing classified.

103
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 4: So Goldberg puts out more today and put this out,

104
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: for instance, in the Atlantic today, and I'll just read this.

105
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: Pete heggsth team update time now eleven forty four Eastern

106
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 4: weather is favorable. Just confirmed with Sentcom. We are a

107
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 4: go for mission launch twelve fifteen F eighteen's launch First

108
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: Strike Package thirteen forty five trigger based F eighteen first

109
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 4: Strike windows starts target terror is at his known location.

110
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: Show should be on time. Target terrorist. So you're announcing

111
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 4: that a particular person you're targeting to kill. Probably that

112
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 4: video we all saw the guy driving down the dirt

113
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 4: road that then disappeared, is just announced in this text

114
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 4: that we got to beat on him. And this is

115
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 4: when we're going to bomb him. That's probably not something

116
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: that should.

117
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: Be out there in any way, right, I'm yessing, yeah,

118
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: oh yeah, fourteen ten more F eighteen's launch second strike

119
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: package fourteen fifteen. This is when the first bombs will

120
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: definitely drop, et cetera, et cetera. Sure sounds like war.

121
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: Plans to me.

122
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: And I mean, if if this had even gotten out

123
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 4: a little, that guy that was on the car on

124
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: the dirt road probably wouldn't about out in the car

125
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 4: on a dirt road. He'd have thought, Hey, he gotta

126
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 4: get you know, heads down for the next however many

127
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 4: hours do we figure out what's going on? Yeah, well,

128
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: at least they had the restraint to just call him

129
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 4: terrorist target as opposed to you know, Mohammed Mohammad one

130
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 4: two three Houthy Street, you.

131
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: Know, right.

132
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, and and the fact that Steve Witkoff, Trump's

133
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: special envoy was in Moscow using this app that Moscow

134
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: has learned to hack when every single you know, blink

135
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: of his eye is being surveilled. Just it's it's it's

136
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: sloppy and it was a mistake, which they've said, Well,

137
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: I just as we were discussing earlier, I don't understand

138
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: why they went with Jeffrey Goldberg's liar and a cheat.

139
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: He is, by the way, he's a liar and a coward.

140
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 1: But there's no nothing classified. There are no war plans

141
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: when he had them. I just think the way you

142
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: defuel this is to say, hey, you know what, we

143
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: really messed up. We won't do this anymore. But it

144
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: was a successful strike against a righteous target.

145
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: I think they would be leave it, leave it. Yeah.

146
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: As a political matter, there's always the legal part. I

147
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: don't know about.

148
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: So if you admit there are war plans on there,

149
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 4: are you absolutely in violation of something to put you

150
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 4: in jail.

151
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: Although you don't have to say that. I think you

152
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: could make the statement as short as I did. It

153
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: was a mistake. The way we handle that communication. We

154
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: will not repeat that mistake. It was a successful strike.

155
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: We have learned and we'll move forward.

156
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,119
Speaker 2: That's it.

157
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 4: I don't know why you couldn't say, because this seems

158
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: to be the case. Look, we're all using signal all

159
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 4: the time. Maybe we decide, now, this is a bad idea.

160
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: Somebody figured that out. What's the best system for this,

161
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 4: and we'll start using that. Okay, I think you'd get

162
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 4: a pass for most of the public on that.

163
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too.

164
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't know why they went with the strategy. If

165
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: it's not calculated and premeditated, well that's a new scandal.

166
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: You got to be more disciplined and smart than that.

167
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: But I don't know the answer to that question. I

168
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: look forward to to finding out, just because I'm curious

169
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: about the way that an administration actually functions. I still

170
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: love Mike Waltz. I think he's a very smart guy.

171
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: I think his views on foreign policy is terrific. Marco

172
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: Rubio I could not be happier with a choice for

173
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: Secretary of State than Marco Pete hegseeth, Mmm, jury's still out.

174
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: I like a lot of his instincts. So hey, just

175
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: learn from your mistake and move forward. The denials are silly.

176
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 4: Here's a perfect place to put this so I don't

177
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 4: have to bring him back up again. I have talked

178
00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 4: about how I think I've changed my mind on really

179
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 4: hating that we've been footing the bill for Europe for

180
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 4: all these years, because I think we get the great

181
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 4: benefit on calling the shots and them going along more

182
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 4: or less with our worldview because they need us so much,

183
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 4: and that when Europe has its own military defense to

184
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 4: the extent that they can ignore us. We might be

185
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: pretty shocked how often they go along with China instead

186
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: of the United States on different things.

187
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: And we're used to all of Europe more or less

188
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 2: going along with us.

189
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 4: They might all of a sudden decide, you know what,

190
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 4: what's financially beneficial doest China.

191
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 5: And.

192
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 4: For stupid euro reasons, they'll think China is no world threat.

193
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: Let's do business with China anyway.

194
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we had to practically beat them over the

195
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: head to not install Huahwei right and all this sensitive

196
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: communications applications, which is so monumentally stupid.

197
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 2: I can't even believe it was happening.

198
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: Right in Germany signing on to the pipeline deal with

199
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 4: rushing all that sort of stuff. So we've already seen

200
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 4: what they're capable of doing, even when we are supplied

201
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 4: their security when we're not. God, who knows how many

202
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 4: bad deals they'll make that are bad for us AnyWho.

203
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 4: One other side of that is and I heard this

204
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: on a podcast yesterday, so I brought it up. In

205
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 4: nineteen sixty, United States had forty percent of the world economy,

206
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: GDP forty percent, pushing half of world GDP was US.

207
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 4: It's now twenty four percent, which is still crazy, which

208
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 4: is still amazing for one country. But maybe you can't

209
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: afford to protect five hundred million euros, not the dollar

210
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 4: dollar figure, but the population Europeans the way we used to.

211
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just math. Yeah, you know.

212
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: Gerard Baker, who's a terrific writer, has an editorial today

213
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: in the Journal about what we're talking about, essentially our

214
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: relationship with Europe, and he's spending a lot of time

215
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: in Europe these days for various personal and professional reasons.

216
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: But he points out that Europeans are to a man

217
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: or woman, alarmed.

218
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: And energized at the same time with the Trump things

219
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: he said and Don jd Vance's statement on the very

220
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: signal app we're talking about President Trump's shock treatment of

221
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: the sensitive parts of Europe's anatomy.

222
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: That's a hellovoid to put it.

223
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: Up again, they're alarmed and energized. The word you hear

224
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: from business and political leaders over there is that whatever

225
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: the effects of mister Trump's presidency on America, he has

226
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: provided the incentives for them to make Europe great again.

227
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: Convinced that the US is no longer a dependable ally

228
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: or you know, generous sugar datagy, depending on how you

229
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: look at it.

230
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 4: I don't like that terminology, the dependable ally terminology.

231
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: How about it's more we aren't gonna.

232
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 4: Be like like your twenty five year old who lives

233
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 4: in your basement, saying, I guess he's not a dependable

234
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: source of housing anymore, my parent.

235
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah he doesn't have to be right right exactly.

236
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: But putting that aside, Baker points out that, yeah, maybe

237
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: the US is no longer as dependable, but Russia is

238
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: an ever more dependable adversary. They are finally, decades late,

239
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: getting serious about developing the means for their own survival.

240
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: And he goes into a bunch of different examples, including Italy,

241
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: for God's sake, that's all energized, and saying, yeah, we

242
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: got to build up our armed forces, and do they

243
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: have any And as I've been saying all along, this

244
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: might be a rough period in which the relationship changes.

245
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: We've all had relationships in life that had to change,

246
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: and the period of them changing could be uncomfortable. But

247
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: putting aside your argument for the moment, because it's a

248
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: really interesting one that We're better off.

249
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: Being the sugar Daddy because we call all the shots Europe.

250
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: Could you know, over the course of the next ten

251
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: fifteen years, become an ally worth.

252
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: Friggin having Wow, if we have right now the fuzzy.

253
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: Little Pekinese dog that were saying beware of dog to

254
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: the Russians.

255
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: If you were of that dog, please.

256
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 4: You have any thoughts on this text line four one

257
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 4: five two nine five KFTC.

258
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 6: Well, guys, the White House just as that they are

259
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 6: now seeking corporate sponsors for this year's Easter egg roll. Seriously,

260
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 6: how bad is the price of eggs when the government

261
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 6: needs a sponsor? I went as if it's appropriate to

262
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 6: tell sponsorship about the White House. Trump said, it's actually

263
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 6: called the Papa John's White House.

264
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 4: Boy, I mentioned, yes, I heard a story in the

265
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 4: news about how they're stopping eggs at the border.

266
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: People are trying to smugle eggs in because they're worth

267
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: so much. Again, how many eggs do you wind go

268
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: ahead and smuggle them? I don't care.

269
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: I know mentioned this the other day, but it's worth

270
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: digging into just a little bit. They mentioned that March

271
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: twentieth is the inter National Day of Happiness, no.

272
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: It's not shut up what. You can declare it that

273
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: if you want.

274
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: But that's why that World Happiness Index always comes out

275
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: on March twenty. It's all right, the internationhold Day of Happiness,

276
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: so it was last Thursday.

277
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: I missed it, which makes me unhappy.

278
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: And Yasha Monk writes for Free Press, like a lot

279
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: of us reacts the same way. Every year, Finland is

280
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: ranked the happiest country in the world, while the US

281
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: falls to its lowest ever position. And this guy happens

282
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: to have spent a fair amount of time in Scandinavia,

283
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: and the Scandinavian countries are always the happiest, and he says,

284
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: I have to admit I've been skeptical since I first

285
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: came across it, because I had family in both Sweden

286
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: and Denmark.

287
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: I've spent a fair amount of time there.

288
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: And while Scandinavian countries have a lot of great things

289
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: going for them, they never struck me as pictures of joy.

290
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: For much of the year, they're cold and dark. Their

291
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: cultures are extremely reserved and socially disjointed. When you walk

292
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: around the admittedly beautiful centers of Copenhagen or Stockholm, you

293
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: rarely see anybody smile.

294
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 2: These really be the happiest places in the whole world.

295
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: I wish it got portrayed more as look, it's cold, dark,

296
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera.

297
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: But they have a culture of saying, yeah, I'm happy.

298
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: That's what I'm impressed by. Yeah.

299
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: They define happinesses I have enough. Yeah, which is different

300
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: than the American definition. Which is interesting and a really

301
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: interesting discussion to have. And we talked about this, I

302
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: think last year when it came out at length. Anyway,

303
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: but he says, to honor the release of this year's report,

304
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: I finally decided to follow my hunch and looked into

305
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: the research on this topic more deeply. What I found

306
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: was worse than i'd imagine. To put it politely, the

307
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: World Happiness Report is beset with methodological problems.

308
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: Oh, to put it bluntly, it's a sham. All of

309
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: these always are. I don't care whether it's the best

310
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: college or the best.

311
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: State or whatever the hell it is, they're always The

312
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 4: criteria are always stupid.

313
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: So it is a small sample size.

314
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: Turns out that that World Happiness Report is not based

315
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: on any major research effort. Far from measuring how happy

316
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: people are with some sophisticated mix of indicators. It simply

317
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: compiles answers to a single question as to comparatively small

318
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: samples of people in each country. Here is the one

319
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: and only question. Please imagine a ladder with steps numbered

320
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: from zero at the bottom to ten at the top.

321
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: The top of the ladder represents the best possible life

322
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: for you, and the bottom of the ladder represents the

323
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: worst possible life for you.

324
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: On which step of the.

325
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: Ladder would you say you feel personally you stand at

326
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: this time?

327
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: And the Ovimber problem.

328
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 4: I remember answering this question a couple of years ago,

329
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 4: and I think I was a three at the time.

330
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: BUYE.

331
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: The obvious problem with this question, commonly known as the

332
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: Chantral letter, is that it doesn't really ask about happiness

333
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: at all. We know from many surveys people tend to

334
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: give very different answers to questions about what makes them

335
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: satisfied with their lives and their questions about whether they're

336
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: feeling good in the moment.

337
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 4: Now, this is all about expectations. This has nothing to

338
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 4: do with happiness, and we're being told in expectations that

339
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 4: unless you have free healthcare or a giant house, or

340
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 4: all these different kinds of things. You're famous, your life sucks,

341
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 4: so yeah, you're gonna be further down the ladder than

342
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 4: the Finns, apparently.

343
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: The happy, cheerful, laughing fins Armstrong and Geddy.

344
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 5: A Kansas state trooper is being hailed a hero for

345
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 5: rescuing a six year old girl offish will say that

346
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 5: during a traffic stop, the trooper arrested a man who

347
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 5: had an outstanding warrant for allegedly kidnapping the child. A

348
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 5: trooper was then able to calm the girl and get

349
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 5: her to tell him her real name. Authority say the

350
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 5: girl had been with a man for over a month

351
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 5: while he was on the run.

352
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: Wow, I don't know all the details of that story,

353
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 4: but then got it played out that way?

354
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 2: H Yeah, no kidding.

355
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 4: I want you to restate, because everybody hears this every

356
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 4: freaking year, that Finland is happier than the United States,

357
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 4: and then a whole bunch of socialists try to explain

358
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: to us why skullcal socialism that they're so happy.

359
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: No, it's because that's international Happiness Index that comes out

360
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: once a year is completely bunk in terms of methodology,

361
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: and it asks a single question that really doesn't define happiness.

362
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: It's you know, where are you on the ladder of

363
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: possible lives you could have right now, right at the

364
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: top near the bottom.

365
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: Right, which I find interesting. So it's a scale of

366
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 4: one to ten, so ladder with ten ten steps and

367
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: ten is like the life you have always dreamed of.

368
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 4: And so where are you currently?

369
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, your best possible life or yeah, I don't.

370
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 4: Because I remember, I remember when we talked about this

371
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 4: kind aware but several years back, I was like a

372
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 4: three or something. I think it was like right after

373
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 4: I found out I was.

374
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: Getting divorced, and that was pretty accurate about where I

375
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: felt like I was, you know, and where I wanted

376
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: to be and everything like that. But first of all,

377
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: those things can well. And I remember we we all

378
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: decided as a staff that you were driving down America's

379
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: happiness ratings. So we berated you to be happier. We

380
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: screamed at you until you complied more happier. But then, yes, Michael,

381
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: I remember that time.

382
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: But and we were just talking a little bit ago

383
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 4: about how Finland or some of these countries or whatever,

384
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 4: maybe they just have different expectations. I mean, because expectations

385
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 4: is the whole ballgame, and I wanted to give this

386
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 4: stat before we got into more of that.

387
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: I just read this yesterday.

388
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 4: The median income for a full time mail worker in

389
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 4: nineteen sixty was fifty four hundred dollars.

390
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: Adjusted for inflation, it was forty five grand.

391
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 4: So the median full time mail worker in nineteen sixty

392
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 4: made forty five thousand dollars a year in.

393
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: Today's wow money.

394
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 4: But the average the median house was twelve hundred square feet,

395
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 4: one bathroom for five people, because I was the average

396
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 4: size and one car, which is the way I grew

397
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 4: up right, one car, one bathroom, small house, and we

398
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 4: would have described ourselves as happy. That group, I don't

399
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 4: know if they describe themselves as happy, but other people

400
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 4: looking at them would describe them as they shouldn't be

401
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 4: happy in a house that's small, with one bathroom in

402
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 4: one car, how could you possibly be happy.

403
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: So again, it's all about expectations. Yeah.

404
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: I think it was the New York Times, who, when

405
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: they're not being shameless liberal crap merchants, do some really

406
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: good journalism, went into the Finland thing, and that's exactly

407
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: what they said. No, it's a culture of I have

408
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: enough therefore, I am satisfied. You learn that from the

409
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: time of your little child. If you are, mister I've

410
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: got to have more and more and more in Finland,

411
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: that's just you're out of your mind culturally speaking. Anyway,

412
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting. The other side of the

413
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: coin as a monk, the journalists here in the Free

414
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: Press Rights two distinguished economists, David Blanchflower and Alex Bryce,

415
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: and we'll just call them B and B Jack like

416
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: they're at Bartig Radio show, set out in a recent

417
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: paper to discover what would happen to the world happiness

418
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: rankings if they looked at a more reasonable and broader

419
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: range of indicators, And what they found is not surprisingly

420
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: totally different picture. Instead of relying on the old Cantrell

421
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: ladder of life satisfaction, they asked the folks to consider

422
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: eight survey questions.

423
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 7: Uh.

424
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: The first four questions measured different dimensions of positive affect

425
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: meaning well, for instance, asking whether response and respondents experienced enjoyment,

426
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: smiled or laughed a lot, and felt well rested the

427
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: day before.

428
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: That's kind of interesting.

429
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if I put how often I smile

430
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 4: or laugh on my list of determining whether or not.

431
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 4: I'm content, I'm not sure are happy.

432
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: The next four questions measure different dimensions of negative effect.

433
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: They ask respondents whether they experienced sadness yesterday, whether they

434
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: worried during a lot of the day, whether they experienced anger,

435
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: whether they were in physical pain.

436
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: None of that for me. Scowl How many times did

437
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: I scowl yesterday?

438
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: M yeah, yeah, But I kind of liked them looking

439
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: both sides of the coin. I remember my sainted mother

440
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: famously was one of the hardest laughs in America to get.

441
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 2: All right.

442
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: We would be watching something hilarious and she would just

443
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: smile slightly. I'd say, Mom, that's hilarious. She'd say, that

444
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: was very funny.

445
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny. Some people, she would respond, she would say,

446
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I.

447
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: Maybe not smiled or laughed a lot, but was very

448
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: amused and pleased and happened.

449
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean they didn't enjoy it as much. I don't

450
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: think exactly so.

451
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: Anyway, But they used both sides of the coin. What

452
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: blanch flower, I'm s right. What B and B in

453
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: the Morning found is striking. Responses to the cantrel ladder

454
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: barely seemed to correlate with expressions of either positive or

455
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: negative feelings. Denmark, for example, came on the top of

456
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: the ranking in the Cantral Ladder, but like most other

457
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: Scandinavian countries, Denmark did much worse on both metrics and

458
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: positive effects, such as how likely respondents had been to

459
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: smile or laugh.

460
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: There are one hundred and eleventh out of one hundred

461
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: sixty four. You think you're a non men? Now where

462
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: do we take Greenland? Oh?

463
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 7: Come on, Michael, that is the co host joke of

464
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 7: the day, tie together relevant headlines and they were also

465
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 7: super high on negative measures whether they'd worried a lot,

466
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 7: they were ninety third out one hundred and sixty fourth.

467
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 7: As a result, the rankings presented by these guys looks

468
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 7: totally different than the more famous version published by the UN,

469
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 7: which is really almost enough to ruin it in my mind.

470
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 7: If I hear the UN is in charge of this,

471
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 7: I think, yeah, right, it's either a scammer a ripoff

472
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 7: for both. Where are you on the Cantrell's Ladder do

473
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 7: you think? Where would you put yourself?

474
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: Oh? Pretty high? I'm a I'm a seven or eight?

475
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: I think currently?

476
00:23:53,840 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, gosh, well I the cancer Ladder. Stupid but probably.

477
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 2: Ish nine ish.

478
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: I guess, but I like this other measure more. There

479
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: are many things I'm very very happy and satisfied with.

480
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: There are things that I worry about a lot, but

481
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: all right, so it's very very different. Finland, for example,

482
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: falls to fifty first place. Conversely, countries like Japan, Panama,

483
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: and Thailand Thailand, none of.

484
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 2: Which do especially well on the official rank.

485
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: Would you like to take a shot at Panama as

486
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: long as we're here, mister Trump.

487
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 2: Anyway, they suddenly appear a lot happier.

488
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: All of them are ranked above Finland and others supposed

489
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: top performers.

490
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

491
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 4: I find this pretty complicated to try to get into anyway,

492
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,959
Speaker 4: because I've talked about this a lot with my own personality,

493
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 4: and I was discussing this with somebody the other day

494
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 4: who has a similar personality to me, like kind of

495
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 4: cranky bitches a lot, but like in real life, I mean,

496
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 4: like in reality, Oh no, things are gonna be fine

497
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 4: for me. I always think things are gonna be fine

498
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 4: for me always, I have, always will. But I complain

499
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 4: a lot. I think everything's going to hell, but I

500
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: think things are gonna be fine for me. I think

501
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 4: I know people are the opposite who are just kind

502
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 4: of cheerful.

503
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 2: How are you? Everything like that? But just everything sucks,

504
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: so I'm not sure. I don't even know how to

505
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 2: rate those things.

506
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: I called myself the world's most cynical optimist. The other

507
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: day my son calls me the world's most conservative.

508
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: Hippie, which is probably.

509
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: There's a songwriter who have been really into lately, and

510
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: I think it's a color Carl Wallinger. He was with

511
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: a bank called Backrack. No, I'm over my backrack face,

512
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: so I've gotten rid of all my tuxedos. I bought

513
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: like twenty tuxedos. No, But I like him because he's

514
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: kind of a hippie and he's a ghasted at the

515
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: world as he observes it. He's passed now, but he's

516
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: got a sense of humor and he says, this really

517
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: sucks and then he laughs, which I think is important. Anyway,

518
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: how about the United States? Turns out that happiness varies

519
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: widely across America, which was just bleak in that stupid

520
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: Cantrell ladder pole, and some of the parts of the

521
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: country are seemingly the happiest in the world. Once you

522
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: break the United States into our states, it becomes clear

523
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: some are actually doing quite badly. West Virginia, for example,

524
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: if it was a country ranked one hundred and first

525
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: out of two hundred and fifty countries and states, it's

526
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: about as happy as much poorer places like Sri Lanka

527
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: and Mauritania. How come ran out of cigarettes well, rampant

528
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: unemployment and death from overdose. I think probably Jack, but

529
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: the cigarettes too. But some other US states are, according

530
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: to these guys, among the happiest in the world. Seven

531
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: of them Hawaii, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota.

532
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: Could you live in freaking paradise? That's part of it.

533
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, although you get the anesthesiologists chucking their wives off

534
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: cliffs lately and listening to the podcast, I think those

535
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: our two or three. But anyway, they're at the very

536
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: top of the list, meaning that their residents are happier

537
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: than those of the happiest country in the world world

538
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: so called, which turns out to be Taiwan, which is

539
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: East Age obviously not Northern Europe. All in all, the

540
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: residents of thirty four US states plus DC have higher

541
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: average levels of happiness than do the vaunted fins with

542
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: their quote unquote happiness.

543
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: The UN poll is stupid. This one is more interesting.

544
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 4: Well, it's driven by a couple of things. First of all,

545
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 4: the UN loves anything that could diminish the United States,

546
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 4: even though we fund the whole damn thing. And the

547
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 4: mainstream media loves anything that diminishes the United States. The

548
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 4: mainstream media every single year can say once again, in

549
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 4: the United States is not a very happy country, you know,

550
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 4: because income inequality, or we don't have enough trans bathrooms

551
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 4: or whatever the complaint is.

552
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: And to paraphrase, well, not Chevy Chase, but the guy

553
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: who wrote the original vacation article on National Lampoon in

554
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: the seventies. Everybody around you might be Whistland's zippity dudah

555
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: out their high end. But if you're experiencing really tough times,

556
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: what the hell does it matter you're living in a.

557
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: Happy, happy state or vice versa. So anyway.

558
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: Is start ignoring that stupid, stupid pole or better yet,

559
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: when it comes out next next March twentieth, which is

560
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: edit National habit As, they go ahead and pooh pull

561
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: it to your friends and neighbors.

562
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 4: Well, and I just wish there was more focus on

563
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 4: if if somebody's happy, because their expectations are reasonable, or

564
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 4: they emphasize the you know, correct things for being happy.

565
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about.

566
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 4: That as opposed to I mean, if somebody's unhappy because

567
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 4: they're not famous, I don't give a crap that you're unhappy.

568
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: There's someone who.

569
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: Cares how countries are ranked. What makes you happy in

570
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: a lasting way? And how do I attain that? I

571
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: mean that that is that is, that is Mount Everest,

572
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: next to the you know, dirt clod, that is that

573
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: idiot poll? What brings actual happiness? Why don't we talk

574
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: about that all the damn time? Well, because there's very

575
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: little money to be made in it, as opposed to

576
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, defrauding us, bamboosling us into thinking X, Y

577
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: and Z bring us happiness.

578
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 4: Well, you don't you buy a lot more stuff if

579
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 4: you're convinced that that will make you happy.

580
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that.

581
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 4: Again, I say ing and a lot of our cultural

582
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 4: influencers are not living the kind of lives that are

583
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: going to make you personally happy.

584
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: So how many Instagram influencers that are just smiling and

585
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: beautiful and happy all the time? I have to off

586
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: themselves before America gets the idea.

587
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, for all its attention for baby boomers when they

588
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 4: were twenty two, Sex, drugs and rock and roll is

589
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 4: not actually.

590
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: The best plan for long term happiness. It's good for

591
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: an afternoon. It's occupied several weekends in my life. But no,

592
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to make it a lifestyck uh wol

593
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: finish strong next. Jennifer Aniston was out to eat with

594
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: Pedro Pascal.

595
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: Last night in Hollywood. No, and bothers me for some reason.

596
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: I don't know.

597
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 4: I think of as Rachel and I kind of, you know,

598
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 4: have a crush on her, like lets of men have

599
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 4: throughout history. And I don't like him, So I just didn't.

600
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: Like seeing that.

601
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: So the Mandalorian and Rachel getting together, it's just it's

602
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: too much for you.

603
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it.

604
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 4: I saw one interview with him where I thought he

605
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 4: was a jerk, and just I can't stand even see

606
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: his face anymore, which I shouldn't see his face, he's

607
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 4: a Mandalorian. Wow, here's the media freaking out over the

608
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 4: whole story of the day yesterday.

609
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 8: It's obviously a very serious mistake on the part of

610
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 8: whoever included Goldberg in this highly classified chain of Command

611
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 8: messaging that went on that involved war plans.

612
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 4: The idea that instead all these Trump deputies were hanging

613
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 4: out chatting on signal instead, that is very noteworthy and

614
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 4: that's going to raise a lot of red flags.

615
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: All this information about a strike that happened was imminent.

616
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: I think about all.

617
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 5: The different ways that people's lives were in danger.

618
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 2: This is so utterly ridiculous. It's not only a national embarrassment.

619
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 4: This is a national enough to get the flavor of

620
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 4: at the national embarrassment and the US this signal and

621
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 4: everything like that. John Bolton, who was what was he

622
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 4: under Trump? Was he National Security advisor? That is correctzor

623
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 4: not a Trump fan now? And Trump's not a fan

624
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 4: of him anyway. He said yesterday, it's inconceivable that the

625
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 4: White House would not use the classified channels. We have

626
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 4: spent so much time and effort and money over decades

627
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 4: trying to make as secure as possible. This carelessness puts

628
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 4: American service members at risk. If that's true, I'm as

629
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 4: unhappy as him. Can we nail that down? People, Come on, somebody,

630
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 4: It should be fairly easy. The CIA director said, yeah.

631
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 4: As soon as I confirmed, they put this on my

632
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 4: computer and everybody uses it all the time.

633
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: So is that true or not? Yeah, can get that

634
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 2: figured out. No, how can we really know?

635
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 4: Bottom of this is the Is there no anybody that

636
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 4: we can count on account call balls and strikes anymore?

637
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 4: It says, yeah, it's very common. Maybe it shouldn't be.

638
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 4: Maybe Congress ought to write a law that this is

639
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 4: okay or not. But people have been using it for

640
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 4: for classified information now for several years, right, or say.

641
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: That update that said it was hackable was part of

642
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: a blizzard of information that all federal employees get and

643
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: many people missed it.

644
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: That's what happened.

645
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: I just I'm fine. I don't mind my own side

646
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: screwing up. That doesn't mean Aosia should be the next president.

647
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: It just means we need to do better. I'm not

648
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: threatened by that. Hey we made a mistake, Yeah.

649
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: Everybody does. It's cool, just trying not to make a

650
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 2: fatal one.

00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 4: we find out absolutely we're war plans discussed.
