WEBVTT - Weird Young People 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.280 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:17.680 Armstrong and Jettie and no Hee Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:25.919 An etiquette expert, is saying that the proper way to 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.720 eat cereal is with a spoon in one hand and 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.840 a fork in the other. The fork is to attack 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.280 anyone that comes from me, lucky charms. 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:40.720 What that's a funny odd joke, wold funny ha ha 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:42.000 and funny strange. 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.120 I like the punchline, but I don't understand the setup. 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.320 So why would you eat your cereal with a knife? 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.400 And of what? I can't imagine? 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:54.560 I got a trio Iranian stories. One Terran just announced 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.200 that they have plenty of more surprises to come. I 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.960 don't think you do. I really for a war. I 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.280 don't think you do. I think you a bnymore surprises 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:05.720 to come. 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.520 Don't away, We'll be right back. 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:11.440 We decided to wait until everyone's dead and we're really 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.480 destroyed and we have no air defense before we unleash 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.560 our secret surprise, because that makes perfect sense that you 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.920 would do that. Another one Trump has said, are you 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.759 following the story with the Iranian national women's soccer team, 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.640 you know that story. So they apparently signaled in a picture, 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.160 please help us or something. I didn't quite understand, some 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.920 sort of hand signal in the picture rescue US. And 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.119 Trump has said he has spoken to the Australian Prime 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:44.559 Minister about giving the Iranian national women's soccer team asylum. 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.440 I guess they're in the country and like, don't ship 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:48.320 them back to Iran. 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:50.440 Yeah. I just saw that headline. 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.560 Hadn't been following it because they had spoken out against 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.400 the regime, which is a scary thing to do. I mean, 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:59.480 for real, they can't go back. No, no, absolutely, absolutely not. 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:05.480 And then the other Iranian story, Fox is reporting that 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:10.560 British Prime Minister Carr Starmer is facing weak and uncooperative 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.560 labels from both sides of the pond as the US 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:20.200 UK alliance is in tatters. One of the closest relationships 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.520 on planet Earth since the end of World War Two 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.560 that has helped keep the world order is in tatters 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.240 over this. He's gonna go soon. He's got he's barely 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.760 got a double digit approval rating in his own country 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.880 over things that hadn't you know started before this ward 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.520 and started then he's uncooperative. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.359 That week act Mark Carney? Is it Mark up in Canada? 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:47.400 Not thinking of the Germans? That's yeah, anyway, Carney, he 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.760 supported the strikes and now he's condemning them since he's 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:51.360 so bad. 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.840 Yeah, I was watching uh, I was listening to NPR 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.880 today and they were talking about the global order and 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.280 everything like that, and they were right in that it 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.480 is less set now than it has been in a 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.000 very very long time, all that sort of thing. But 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.320 I feel like every time the United States flexed its 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.239 muscles to try to restore global order or police the world, 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.720 that crowd would attack it, you know, for belligerance and 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.160 heegendomy or whatever the hell? And where do you get 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.640 off telling other countries how to live? But if you 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.280 don't do that, then the world order falls apart. It's 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.120 also our fault. It's our fault no matter what. That's 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.560 one of the problems with being the big dog. No 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.000 matter what happens, it's your fault. 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.960 I just came across the story of another progressive prosecutor 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:43.080 who refuses to prosecute gun crimes or gun enhancements. Aren't 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.560 the progressives the left constantly calling for more stricter gun laws, 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.360 and yet they won't enforce. 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:49.240 It as similar anyway. 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.360 So this is what was meant to be, just to 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.360 tease to what we're talking about later is taking a 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:55.640 chunk of the segment. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.480 But I think we still have time for this. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.480 It's funny that I should come across is because I 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.320 had a really interesting conversation about it with some business 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:09.840 people yesterday. It's a piece by a psychologist or a 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:16.039 professor of psychology who specializes in workplace psychology, productive psychology, 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:21.600 that sort of thing, and she writes, well, the headline 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.800 is I should tell you a new loss generation why 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.279 gen Z is unprepared for the workplace. Young employees don't 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:32.120 often don't make the skills they need to navigate organizations. 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.880 Leaders should first understand the problem and then figure out 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.040 how to fill the gaps. 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.120 Too much, and when they're not watching poor in they're 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:39.040 playing video games. 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:40.400 This is not helping. 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.120 This is just trying to understand it from the perspective 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.400 of an employer, because you got to preserve productivity, efficiency, 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.080 that sort of thing, and you got all these weird 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:50.880 kids coming in, you got to figure out how to 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:51.520 get them to work. 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:51.960 Anyway. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.479 I love this angle she starts with because I hadn't 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.320 I had underestimated. One aspect of human psychology says the 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.760 workplace can be a tricky place to navigate. Almost everything 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:07.240 we do at work, identifying the experts, managing tough feedback 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.799 from a boss, figuring out how to work in teams 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.920 made up of different personalities comes down to our ability 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.960 to manage relationships, and to do so, we need savvy 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:21.400 social skills. Most employees acquire those skills over time by 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.839 learning from their non work relationships, watching how colleagues behave 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:26.880 in the office, and by seeing what happens when they 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.880 stumble in their own workplace interactions. 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:29.520 You live and learn. 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.320 But the newest workplace generation gen Z is unlike anything 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.800 we've seen through a combination of having fewer real world 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:41.680 relationship experiences, spending their education years in remote environments, and 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:47.360 learning to communicate largely through asynchronous methods like you know, 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.320 texting or messaging or whatever. You're not a message, apply message, 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.039 apply message reply in real time. 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.280 Yeah, I don't know that you would your emotional intelligence 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.400 would improve through texting? Probably not. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.280 These twenty somethings have missed opportunities to develop the skills 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.159 needed to navigate the complex world of work. The result 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.400 is that many are woefully unprepared for surviving, let her 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:13.680 alone thriving in their jobs. And then she spells out 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:18.000 And because we've got a fairly tight team here, I 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.159 hadn't fully realized this, but it makes so much sense. 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.120 We can already see what this means for both employees 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.320 and the organizations that hire them. For one thing, young 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.240 employees are struggling to fit into these organizations. There's a 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:34.760 lot of turnover because new hires who don't acclimate don't last. 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.559 What's more, whether they're pushed out or leave willingly, younger 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.800 employees often go without a go without a clear sense 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:42.719 of what went wrong. 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.960 Oh wow, so they'll never get better. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.400 So they couldn't interpret the dynamics of the workplace, so 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.080 they sure as hell can't interpret why it didn't work. 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.880 And those who do stay often find the experience unfulfilling 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.720 and frustrating, while their bosses are at loss wondering why 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.080 the new workers just don't get it. 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.840 Yeah, and if something is just not working out, so 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.160 you get rid of somebody because it's you know, just 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:10.440 not working out. It's hard to nail down, you know, 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.440 explain to a person exactly why it didn't work out. Look, 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.720 you just you weird people out, nobody understands you, or 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.080 it's just not working out, whatever, and so it'd be 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:20.040 hard to grow from. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.000 That, right right. 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.760 Indeed, So this gal gets into a couple of factors 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.760 and I think she may overestimate them a little bit, 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.480 and she completely leaves out the big one. But a 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:36.840 couple of things. First of all, the percentage of gen 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:42.080 Z that reaches adulthood having had even one romantic relationship, 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:47.640 it's declined from seventy five percent pretty consistently for previous 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.920 generations to fifty six percent. So rounding it's it's a 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:56.360 twenty percent drop. And she points out and this made 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.760 me think back to my previous relationships. These experiences matter 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.560 in a lot of ways. Early relationships teach us basic 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:06.240 social competencies, how to express emotions, how to cooperate, how 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.200 to forgive, how and when to compete, all skills we 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.640 use at work and as adults. There's a direct link 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.400 between the ability to communicate well with the romantic partner 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.280 and the ability to do the same with a coworker 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.400 or boss, which is interesting. 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.720 Then she goes into online people. 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:27.800 That's the point on weird online education experiences and how 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.040 different that is from previous generations. I think we can 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.440 all understand that. You know, the one thing she leaves 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:36.960 out that I'm very very surprised by. And I had 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.080 a long, interesting conversation, as I mentioned with some business 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:48.560 leaders about this yesterday, the incredibly rich learning experience that 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:53.599 is free range childhood. And we were talking about specifically 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.680 when we'd be turned loose in the morning after we did, 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.640 you know, our chores or whatever we had to do, 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.640 especially on Youla wends and summer days or whatever, and 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.200 we would not go home until the dinner bell rang, 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.360 or until the street lights went on, or whatever it was. 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.280 Your queue you had to go home again, and your 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.480 parents might ask you a little bit where you were. 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.600 But I mean, you certainly didn't have to give an 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:19.439 hour by our accounting, no, And we were agreeing that 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:23.199 one of the richest experiences we had had in our 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:29.400 entire lives was playing specifically, and this is what has 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.040 been lost in the modern era. This is not the 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.000 first time we've talked about it, but I think it is. 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:37.320 It is so massively important. Everybody ought to be familiar 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.920 with this concept. You invent a game with one or 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.800 more friends. Maybe it's a bunch of you, maybe it's 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.040 you have variations of the rules of baseball, for instance, 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.760 because you've got a few people and you're playing in 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.360 a square backyard or whatever. You invent a game, You 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:58.959 invent the rules, You adjudicate all the disputes yourselves. You 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.560 learn about people who will work with you, those who 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.760 won't with you work with you. You learn about what 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.240 strategy works for convincing people you have a good idea 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:13.559 and which ones fail. If you had fifteen college educations, 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.679 you could not learn as much as you learned on 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:21.760 your summer days doing that. And we're denying kids the 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:26.400 opportunity to do that. It is neglect or well, like 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.000 I said, yes, neglect. It's like you're not feeding them 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.440 almost as terribly as if you did not feed them 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.719 food in my opinion, and kids are missing that when 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:38.560 they get to the workplace. 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.160 I think food is worse. But I see your point. 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:47.280 Yeah, yeah, I mean, obviously, if somebody starves to death, 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:51.400 really about play that card for about three days, right, right, 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:56.320 But when you look at the modern workplace, Okay, we've 0:10:56.320 --> 0:11:01.400 got to accomplish something together. He and I. I disagree, 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.319 but I value them. I've got to do it in 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.839 a diplomatic way. I don't feel real strongly about this, 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.240 but I do feel very strongly about that. And by 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:16.160 the way, I've negotiated that process one hundred and fifty 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:17.199 times by. 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:23.199 The time I'm sixteen, compared to the constantly supervised veal 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:23.800 Calf kids. 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.400 Well, here's the good news. Finally AI is going to 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.320 wipe out all the jobs, so nobody will ever have 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:29.720 to do that. 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.840 Oh, that reminds me. Got a great email and I 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:36.840 was hoping to get to it at some point. Don't 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.880 have time for it now, but maybe next segment. 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.840 I don't know. We'll talk about it from Ryan and Sacramento. 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:51.600 AI is going to take all the jobs I wish. 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.800 Why don't I pay this off after the break? 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:55.200 Okay, I love that topic. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.079 So yeah, yeah, work, I mean you talk about a 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:03.560 universal Yeah, until the warm embrace of collectivism takes over. 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.560 Oh, we got to talk about mom, Donnie and what 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.439 you said about his wife and then attack outside of 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.120 residence over the weekend. Was he's an Islamianist? Was it 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:16.160 isis inspired this attack? That's what they're saying now, Wow, 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:21.160 that'd be a pretty big deal. AnyWho stick around. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.640 What do you do if you're a progressive women's organization 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.000 in New York City on National Women's Day or International 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.319 Women's Day and you want to celebrate it by letting 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.920 out all your outrage at Trump in the modern world? 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:35.520 Do you do this? 0:12:53.480 --> 0:13:00.480 Why are the birth rates calling? I think, I know, God, 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:01.360 that's more than enough. 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.959 Are people that do therapeutic screams or that sort of thing, 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.200 and then there are people that like, have jobs and 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:09.160 raise kids. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:10.840 Right, there's very little overlap. 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:11.960 I'm very little overlap. 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.120 It's worth mentioning her dog is there and just freaking 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:24.880 out idiots. Got this note from Ryan in Sacramento. We 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.520 were talking about AI as we do a lot, and 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.000 how it's going to eliminate all the jobs, as jab 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.839 Jack mentioned, and we have gone on and on about 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.720 how if you deny people purpose and you know, a 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.520 reason to get up in the morning, they will actually 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.520 be miserable and become drunks and drug addicts and not 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:42.719 become happy poets or whatever. 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:43.959 Who's going to read your poetry? 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:50.840 Everybody's writing poetry anyway, Let's see, So Ryan writes, Joe 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.840 has joked that he's afraid he'll be the last human 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.040 to die right before humanity unlocks the key to immortality. 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:57.320 That's true, right, I. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.240 Haven't said that for a long time, but yeah, that's 0:13:59.280 --> 0:13:59.880 my greatest fear. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:00.840 Thanks for reminding me. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.199 My fear is that I will be the last human 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.240 or generation of humans obligating to work for a living. 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.720 You both have expressed the need for purpose we all 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.760 seem to share, and I agree on that point. Why 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.360 must that purpose be tied to a meaningless job. I 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.240 work in a blue collar environment of about fifteen hundred employees, 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.200 and there's something we all want to be anywhere else. 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.920 I don't know about their motivations, but for myself, the 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.760 obligation to show up and punch the clock for eight, 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.160 ten or twelve hours a day is what prevents my 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:30.480 pursuit of unprofitable fulfillments, you know, hobbies for psychopaths that 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:34.320 would be like to show up somewhere and do meaningless labor. Oh, 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.320 for psychopaths that would like to show up somewhere and 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.640 do meaningless labor for hours and days on end. I 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:43.480 wouldn't stand in their way to the suggestion of do 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.520 something else. There's not a job on this earth that 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.360 I want to be obligated to devote the majority of 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:48.840 my time in life too. I'd be shocked if that 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:52.320 was a minority opinion. Big However, for all the boasting 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.880 that day, I will provide the pathway to universal high income, 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.640 I don't really believe in it. Private businesses may become 0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.440 enriched by the use of AI and Jack You've made 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.880 this times, but they aren't going to become absurdly altruistic. 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.960 The idea of government's confiscating and distributing wealth is both 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.200 repugnant and historically catastrophic. 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:09.640 I guess I'll keep clocking in. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.200 Yeah, they always skip that part, but a. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.120 RTS keep returning those sausages. Thank you, Ryan. 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.400 To the whole we need a job to have a 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.360 sense of purpose thing that we talk about. I have 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:27.680 heard that described as you know you have job fulfillment privilege. Yes, 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.280 a lot of people, and I've worked jobs like this. 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.320 I've worked jobs that you lay there on a Sunday 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:34.440 night and think, I don't know if I can do 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.920 this another week because it is not only not fulfilling, 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.800 it's just awful. There's nothing you like about it. The 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:43.840 only thing you're getting out of it is a paycheck 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.000 and maybe insurance. The only thing everything I was about, 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.200 you hate it. So the idea that, oh no, AI's 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.120 going to take that away from me and I won't 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:52.880 have a purpose anymore. Yeah, shut up? 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:54.600 All right? 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.360 When I was standing there in an aisle of a store, 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.760 because if I was caught sitting, I'd be fired waiting 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.960 for a customer, any customer to need anything. 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.440 Yeah, that was not super fulfilling. 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.600 And the idea of that going away going to have 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.960 a negative effect on your life. Shut up? 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:16.640 Oh no, right, Yeah, that's a good point, Ryan, Thank 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:20.000 you for you know, I try really hard to think 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.880 about stuff like that as we're doing the show and 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:22.840 getting ready for the show. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:23.680 All right, in what. 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:28.280 Ways am I an outlier and not not have those 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.320 blind spots? But that's a you know what, that was 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.680 a bit of spanking, Ryan, and well administered. 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:40.440 So CBS at least is reporting they are investigating that 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.640 incident outside of Mayor Mumdanni's house as an ISIS aspired 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:45.680 inspired attack. 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.160 Yeah, I think, yeah, I've seen that more. 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.480 It would be a pretty big deal if there was 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:56.040 an anti Muslim demonstration completely peaceful and Isis said we 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.400 ain't having that and sent somebody, holy crap. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.440 Mom, Donne's and Islamist as well as a communist. He's 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.400 and Islammunist, and I'm sure I have a good idea 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.560 whereas sympathies lie, particularly by some of his statements. 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:10.280 Got a lot more on that and other stuff on 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:11.800 the way. If you missed a segment, get the podcast 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:12.920 arm Strong and Getty. 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:19.120 On demand Armstrong and Getty. The NYPD says this device, 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.040 about the size of a football, wrapped in black tape 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.480 with nuts, bolts, and screws along with the fuse, was 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:29.560 indeed an improvised explosive device world at New York City 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:34.000 Mayor Zorra Mandani's residence. The incident unfolding outside Gracie Mansion 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.680 Saturday during dueling protests, including one led by far right 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.040 anti immigration figure Jake Lang and a larger group of 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.320 counter protesters, and one of those suspects, Police say, an 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.200 eighteen year old lit and threw one of those devices 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:51.320 toward a police barrier. Two suspects, both from Pennsylvania, arrested 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.880 at the scene. They told investigators they watched ISIS videos 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.240 and confronted Jake Lang's protests in defensive Muslims. 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.600 I feel like that report and a lot of them, 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.240 really did not do a good job of making it 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.560 clear who was violent and who was not. A lot 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:10.359 of the reports over the weekend were anti Muslim protests, 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:15.760 sparks violence. Yeah, sparked violence by the people that showed 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:19.160 up on the side of the Muslim extremists and throw 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:23.280 a bomb, not the anti Muslim crowd, which you know, 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.320 I don't agree. I wouldn't go to an anti Muslim 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:29.840 protest probably either, but far right anti Muslim protest. Then 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.560 Abamba was not making it clear in that report who 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:37.680 exactly threw the bomb. It was the isis inspired crowd 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.360 that showed up and said you aren't going to protest 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.479 Islam in my town and had a bomb. 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:46.320 Well, right, the New York Post editorial board, actually I 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.760 know nothing about this Jake Lang, guy whose tiny band 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:54.400 of misfits were quote unquote demonstrating against Muslims. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.520 Well, he's a January sixth guy who got pardoned by Trump. 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.359 Oh okay, all right, Well, anyway, the harshness with which 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.040 the New York Post editorial board views him, I will 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:07.240 take their word for it. But even that being said, 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.199 the irony of guy comes out and says, you know, 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.919 Islam is a religion of violence and oppression, and somebody 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:16.679 throws firebombs at him for it. 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:17.879 There's a little iron. 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.080 Well, as he was being arrested, he was yelling to 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.719 media around it, and the cops notice who got violent? 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.840 It wasn't us who got violent. It wasn't us, which 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.560 I thought was a pretty decent point, right right to 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:34.879 yelling at achbar, likely inspired by ISIS isis. 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:35.399 Yeah, no kidding. 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:39.240 So New York Post writes, Oh, they're actually what they're 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:42.160 concerned about is Zora and Mumdani came out and condemned 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:47.920 violence at a protest, and the Post says, Madanni can't 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.360 just condemn violence at a protest. Now that the key 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.760 facts are out about Saturday's chaos near Gracie Mansion, the 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:57.119 Mayor's residence, he needs to call out where the threats 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.640 of violence come from and denounce them. 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:02.359 Well, I'll just finish. 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.600 We know that those were genuine explosive devices hurled by 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:09.200 Isis loving radicals, people seduced by evil that exists within 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:13.080 Gotham's own Muslim community, and the mayor should name the 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.399 poison plaguing his co religionists, and the madness among his 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:19.560 democratic socialist allies that mourns the killing of a monster 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:22.280 like Ali Kameini. We can get into that in a 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:26.600 little bit if we want. But yeah, if for instance, 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:32.520 it had gone the other way, that there was some 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:38.159 up with islam gathering encounter demonstrators showed up and hurled 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:42.760 bombs at the Muslims. Do you think their ideology would 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.680 be left out by mister Mumdani when he was condemning it. 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:48.159 Are you kidding me? 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:52.840 That is an oversight, oversight, That is an omission so 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.720 egregious it ought to make everybody stop and say, oh, 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.159 I see what's going on here? Can you imagine in 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:04.640 leaving out the ideology of clan members if they are 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:08.480 the ones chuck in bombs that's what Mumdani did. 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.920 Yikes, yeh. Then they make the point. 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.240 What can truly make a difference is calling out the 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.479 people who seem to be on your side but aren't. 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.920 The ones who claim that Islamic values support attacks on innocence, 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:24.680 who deny the mass rapes and other crimes of supposed 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:28.840 freedom fighters, who pretend that the anti imperialist cause requires 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:34.800 sympathy for terror promoting tyrants. And then they say, Mumdanni 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:37.240 ought to come out in favor of anti Semitism, protect 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.760 the rights of worship of all New Yorkers, side with 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.040 the vast Saints Center in New York City, mister mayor, 0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:45.520 and make it plain you recognize toxic eight on every extreme. 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:48.520 So one of the teen bomb chuckers put on the 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:53.240 ground by the cops and hauled off, gave a hand 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:57.720 gesture that some say is a isis hand gesture. I 0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:00.439
