Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. We're taking him out by the thousands. We're being obstructed. It's very unfair what's happening because the court system is being, it's very unfair. So we're getting them out. It's a very difficult thing with the courts because the courts have all of a sudd. Out of nowhere. They said maybe you have to have trials. Trials. We're going to have 5 million trials. Doesn't work. Doesn't work. You wouldn't have a country left. But hopefully the Supreme Court will save it. But what they've done is a very, very serious thing. So how was, how was the deporter in chief, Barack Obama, who deported so many people, how did he get them out without having a trial for everybody? The due process that we're talking about now, what was it? A lot of that was they were apprehended at the border. Okay. He did like the immediate quickie deportation, which is, which is different for reasons. I mean, we could argue about whether it ought to be or not. But, but so those differences, part of it. Biden opened up the border, let gazillions of biggest migration in human history happen. People got well deep into the country for years. Then it's a different thing. Yeah, yeah. So within a certain geographic distance from the border, the rules change because you're not apprehended. Then you're living here. It's again, we could argue about whether that's appropriate or not, but that's the way it is. So. Yeah. And you qualify as a person in the United States, as the Constitution calls it. Right, Exactly. You're not just caught sneaking across the border. You're a person living here under the jurisdiction, blah, blah, blah. So anyway, Trump was explaining why they've gone with various alternative plans to get people out of the country, including self deportation. Next clip here. Michael. So we're going to have a self deportation where they deport themselves out of our country and we'll work with them and we're going to try. And if, if we think they're good, they have, you know, the people we want in our country, they're going to come back into our country. We'll give them a little easier route. And then the world's most glam Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem explaining further, we spend about $17,000 arresting, detaining and deporting an illegal alien right now, today, if we have the opportunity to purchase a plane ticket and send someone home with a stipend like this, it saves us thousands and thousands of dollars. And it also is a much safer situation for officers and for those in communities. Yeah, somebody said it cost like $4,500 to send them out on average. This is Stephen Miller, and I thought that was part of that same clip, but it doesn't matter. Stephen Miller pointed out that over the course of a lifetime or multiple years with public benefits and education and the rest of it could easily cost the American taxpayer a million dollars. Oh, yes, no doubt. No, I don't have any quibble about that. But why does it even cost $4,500 on average? I could fly first class to anywhere in the world for $4,500. You have to, you know, arrest them and hold them and feed them and get them to the airport and blah, blah, blah. It's just labor costs, among other things, facilities costs. I think it's the process of getting them out, not just the physical, you know, transportation of getting them from here to there. Yeah. So I thought that was, that was interesting. And the Supreme Court will rule on this. But the whole look, we'll buy a plane ticket, we'll give you a thousand dollars, fill out the paperwork, maybe you can come back someday. It's not going to get everybody out, but if it helps, it helps. Well, on the Fox interview I saw her with this morning looking fantastic. Probably shouldn't comment on that. That probably makes me misogynist. But yeah, I think that was wildly inappropriate. Although on the other hand, she didn't put all that time and effort into that long hair to make it look like that, to not have it be noticed. That's not an accident. So me noticing lip gloss. Yes. So me noticing it makes me a bad person. That's correct, yes. Anyway, I think she said one person so far has taken us up on this. So one total of one. Hey, longest journey, single step, look it up. Huh? I kind of like this because the quote's from Trump 41, please. From ABC News, Michael. The Trump administration says they've deported 150,000 people since January, far short of the pace needed to remove the tens of millions the President promised Trump today, blaming required immigration hearings for slowing down his plan. The courts have all of a sudden, out of nowhere, they said, maybe you have to have trials. Trials. We're going to have 5 million trials. Doesn't work. Doesn't work. So this is a beautiful. Oh, it is. It's a beautiful example. It's like the best one ever of the cloud piven strategy that was 60s radicals, you know, adhere to. The idea is you make the other side live up to their own rules. You insist, even as you are breaking every rule you can think of, you constantly make the other side live up to their own rules and principles. And then you overload the system to the point that it breaks. This is the absolute classic example of that. Biden, for whatever bizarro reasons or, you know, he was so incoherent, maybe it was his progressive aides were pushing him to do this, but they let in so many people so quickly. The systems that exist to get people out again are completely overwhelmed. It's like, you know, after the, the, the tsunami in Japan, that giant flood that ruined the Fukushima reactor, that flood of immigrants is just, it's. We're drowning in it. And so then the left is saying, no, no, no, no. You have these principles. You have these procedures. You have to follow your principles. Having drowned the system. Yeah, that's a tough one. It is completely undoable. 5 million trials. More like 15 million to try to get people out. So, yeah, it's. I don't know what the answer is this. Well, there is an answer, and National Review has written about it and it's been talked about for decades. It's been talked about our entire radio career. If you had E Verify where people couldn't hire you unless you could prove you've got the paperwork in your hair, people would leave because you wouldn't be able to have a job. Somebody pointed out via email the other day that, well, you have to have employers that are willing to use the E Verify. Oh, yeah. I tell you what, if they don't to enforce it, we enforce the law on them, too. Absolutely. Hammer them. You're running some sort of chicken killing plant in the middle of Iowa and you're not filling the. Filling out your paperwork, mine in your P's and Q's, huh? We'll shut you down. What do you do for a living? I work at a chicken killing plant. I murder chickens and hack them apart. Barbarians. That's what they do. It is. I work at a meat processing facility. You murder chickens and hack them apart. It's okay. I like chicken. Yeah. I'm a carnivore. Speaking of getting back to the questions and overwhelming the system and that sort of thing. Murder chickens and act them apart. Eric Tracksuit C from Astoria, Oregon, frequent correspondent writes Dear Joe, kudos for your herculean and fair minded analysis of what Trump said in response to Kristen Welker's question over the weekend. But even given those numbers that you're talking about, don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president? And he says the presidential oath reads as follows. Eric says, I do solemnly swear or affirm that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and I will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Not to put too fine a point on it, I might suggest that having given this oath twice, President Trump could have come up with a better answer than I don't know. Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't know if he was trolling. It worked. I mean, because it got lots of headlines because he could have so easily said, I'll uphold the Constitution. But as always, it needs to be interpreted as to what the Constitution means. It's always been that way. It is today. And I think it means something different than you do. Eric, you're 100% right. He could have come up with a better explanation. But that, that's Trump. It makes me insane because he does such a poor job of explaining what he's talking about so frequently. And as a guy who has criticized Trump, in fact, my last sentence criticized Trump. He meant exactly what Jack was saying. He meant, you are trying to, in the fashion of the cloud pivot strategy, which I was just talking about, trying to hold me to your concept of the rules to prevent me from solving the problem you have caused. That is what he meant in his answer to the evil and disingenuous and horrific. Kristen Welker Horrific. I'm being charitable. I murdered chickens and I hacked them into pieces. That's what I do. And I'm a wordsmith. And so he's trying to say, no, you're not going to trap me into agreeing with your premise that I have to adhere to the Constitution in the ways you have just set forth. Forth. But he's not a good enough litigator of his own point of view to express it like that. So he goes without it. No, we'll have to see. We'll follow the Supreme Court, which is saying, yes, but we've got great lawyers looking at it. So that answer was only unsatisfactory if A, you're a stickler for Trump, you know, being a better communicator, or B, you're willfully misinterpreting what he was saying. I believe that. Amen. Hallelujah. So what do you think is going to happen with the millions and millions of people that got in illegally? That the vast majority of people in this country, including Democrats, won't boot it out? They're going to stay, most of them. A lot of them are, yeah. I think the question is how many can we get out and by what procedures? And I don't know the answer to that question that. That's one of the reasons that the radicals use the strategy I was describing, because it works real well. How about the majority end up staying? You end up, for instance, getting millions and millions and millions of people in the city of Chicago, where I grew up, right outside the city, but dependent on the government. You've overloaded the system now. All of those people will not eat or be able to medicate themselves. They. They don't even feed their own damn children. How are you going to reform the government now? They've overwhelmed the system to break it. It works. It's evil and insidious and un American, but it works. So, yeah, we're in a hell of a spot right now. What the answer is, I don't know, but Trump and company are working on it pretty hard. That's interesting. This story is not over. I think they are doing great, if somewhat controversial work. I hope they can stay on the right side of the law. On the other hand, the whole tariffs on movies is ludicrous. It's practically hilarious. It's impossible. I mean, it's intellectual property with no set value. If I made a movie in Ireland today and Francis Scorsese made a movie in Ireland today, what are you gonna tariff them the same? Nobody's gonna see my damn movie. It'd be garbage. Trust me. I don't know the first thing about me. Well, I think you need a story. So it's just. It's utterly unworkable. It's silly. Well, you'd have to tax the profits after. Oh, Lord, you know nothing about Hollywood accounting. I could write, direct, star in and film a movie and own 98 of it. And the studio that owned 2% would find a way to get all of the profits. That is what makes Hollywood go round. So, yeah, it's utterly unworkable. The Alcatraz thing is hilarious. It's just trolling. Yeah, that's 100% trolling. Yeah. Yeah. But the immigration stuff, they're doing the work that needs to be done, and they're. They're working against some real odds. Tough odds. Yeah. AI coming for a lot of people's jobs, as we've talked about. AI coming for our jobs, it looks like. Got a good example of that, among other things. Stay here. Armstrong and Gettysburg. Wasn't that delicious? So good. Your bill, ladies. I got it. No, I got it. Seriously, I insist. I insisted first. Don't be silly. You don't be silly.

Trump just shocked Hollywood by announcing a 100% tariff on all movies and TV shows made in foreign lands. Gonna be fun seeing the next Lord of the Rings filmed in Bayonne, New Jersey. Hey look at Bilbo over here. What kind of ring you got on my Brigitte? So you mentioned this last segment but the the hundred percent tariff on foreign movies because we're going to make a movies American again and Jon Voight the One of the few conservative Hollywood types came out yesterday and said, yeah, he's going to help lead the charge to make movies American again. This is, is this is everybody know this is trolling or I mean, because this isn't going to do anything. Not exactly. Voight, by the way, who's 86 years old, I didn't realize that he's almost my dad's age. Okay. Yeah. So the problem is there are a bunch of foreign countries that offer huge tax incentives to make the movies in their country instead of the United States. And so Trump says, well, we'll see about that. We'll put huge tariffs on them. And the movie business is saying, like, thanks for your concern, but how about tax incentives here in the US Wouldn't that be easier? And so that's probably the direction it's going. Okay. Okay. Well, I get that. Different topic also the entertainment world, where I don't know why you'd offer tax incentives to movies and not your local plumbing contractor. But we can discuss that another time. That's a good point. Yesterday we were talking about AI AI me continuing after I die from this cold that I've had for going on a month now, where you can just take my voice and all the many words I've said over 30 years and AI can fashion it together and whatever it needs to say, well, that is actually happening. So I was watching the NBA last night. I'm a big NBA fan. Great first round games last night, two upsets. Fantastic stuff. But one of the most famous announcers in all of modern NBA history, Jim Fagan of NBC, he no longer is with us, but the NBA is using clips of him to create voiceovers to continue to have the voice of the 90s. NBA Today. Here's a, here's a clip. Now the NBA on NBC is back. See you this October for the NBA season. Tip off. That wasn't much of that. I don't know if AI had to play any role, surely he said that like 8 million times. So. But either way that's gonna be fairly common, I think. Yeah, I'm sure they could craft him saying the Lakers, well, the Lakers aren't taking on anybody except that the local golf course. But you know, whatever the Nets take on the Nuggets Tuesday night, winner take all. Sure. Even though he's with God now. I was thinking of the great Don Pardo of Saturday Night Live who did the voice of that for like the first 47 years of their 50 year history or whatever. They could have him continue and you know, with Whatever new hosts are on there, that. That'll probably become a thing. Yeah, big deal. It'll eliminate a handful of announcer jobs, but why not? Yeah, well, they're talking in movieland about having no actors eventually. And just a CGI generated AI generated folks. Right. Actors on the screen. I don't know. We'll have to see it in action to see if we like it or not. I don't know. You're gonna tell us why Medicaid sucks at some point. That's. That's a bit of a oversimplification, but although it's accurate. Yes, it does. It's a scam. It's a giant scam. It goes around wearing the clothes of. This is just a little government help for the poor to get the medical care they need. Poor pregnant women so their babies are healthy. That's all we're doing here. It's become this giant, like, money trading scam where the states exploit this, you know, sub law of sub rule of Medicaid and get this much money in exchange. And if they use that money for this, they get even more money. And it turns out healthy, lazy grown men are getting way more than poor pregnant ladies. Really? Oh, I don't like that story.

They make a point. I think he's talking about me. Horrible, strong, miserable week. And everyone knows it. Thank you very much. How you doing today? Good. Glad to hear it. So there's a lot here trying to figure out exactly how to corral all this information. I should have figured this out earlier, but I just came across something really interesting. But how to explain the current Battle over Medicaid reform. Maybe I'll just start here a couple of folks, I want to make sure everybody understands it, what's going on here. So when you turn 65, you get government health care. At that point you get medic care, Medicare. 65. Medicaid is for the super poor. Down and out, right? Yeah. Originally like 1% of the population, now much, much, much, much more. So let me just lay this out and, and, and we'll, we'll stick with this through the weeks that I promise won't be boring and wonky. But it's such an enormous problem. The Wall Street Journal is at the editorial board. Yeah. Is talking about how the Republicans are trying to reform Medicaid and they haven't even rolled out a draft Medicaid bill. But Democrats and the media allies are already pounding on them for snatching health care from millions of poor people. Which just goes to show you, and you'll understand at the end of this how incredibly dishonest politics is. And Republicans would be making a terrible blunder to let that intimidate them from fixing the program, especially winding down free federal money for able bodied men on Medicaid, which is a huge part of it. So here's how, here's the one idea that they're working with is imposing sanity on the way federal Medicaid money flows to the states. Here's the core dysfunction, writes the editorial board. The feds pick up roughly 50 to 77% of the tab depending on the state for pregnant women, the disabled and other low income populations. So between half and three quarters. But the feds pay 90% for prime age adults eligible under the Affordable Care Act. Obamacare's Medicaid expansion. You remember all the talk about the Medicaid expansion and the money to states and most of us scratched our heads and weren't sure what to make of it. And blue state said yes and red state said no and were accused of neglecting their citizens for saying that. And critics said this was just an attempt to get universal health care going. Which is what it looks like. Yeah, exactly. So again, the feds paid 90%. If I'm a 32 year old male smoking pot, living in my parents basement, porn, watching porn, refusing to work, collecting fake disability, whatever. Probably got a bun. Man bun of some sort. Probably man bund. They pay 90% for my Medicaid expansion. The federal government does. The enhanced funding was a Democratic bribe debate states into expanding their programs under Obamacare that it also contradicted the founding purpose of Medicaid. Which was to help the poor. Now you, you can't find voters who think the federal government should be giving their scarce health resources to working age men over poor children and pregnant women. Nobody wants that. But that's where we are because that's what the perverse financing formula encourages. The states can grab more federal dollars if they sign up more prime age adults. But if you try to reform this, Chuck Schumer is going to get on the steps of the Capitol and with crocodile tears in his eyes, talk about how you're trying to starve poor babies. Right? 2022 study from the Mercatus center looked at the spending growth patterns in states that took the expansion money compared with those that didn't. It found, quote, strong evidence in Medicaid expansion states of a shift of financial resources away from certain vulnerable enrollee populations, the most notable being from low income children. And the GOP can make a really strong argument that fixing this bias in federal payments is shoring up the program to serve the vulnerable much better. It's not trying to take it away from them. It's the opposite about it, opposite of that. But you know how politics works. It's easy to scare people. It's way easier to scare them than to explain to them. There are 10 states, including Florida and Texas, that have declined the federal government's Medicaid expansion bait, but just 10. And some are talking about part time work requirements if you're on Medicaid, to go after improper payments and call it good. But you really have to restructure the entire thing. Obamacare was everything its critics said it was. But it's so galling. And I know it is for a lot of you. It's just, you know, you get up and you go to work and the idea that there's somebody out there sucking off your tax money with a smile on their face, it's just so galling. Yeah, I know, I know. I've got some more figures on, on Medicaid's expansion, but I can't find them. It has to do with watching your pot, smoking your porn. No, no, no, no, we're past that part. It has to do with. Oh, damn it. I thought I had it handy. The extent to which Social Security is self supporting and how much it's grown beyond the self supporting part. Self supporting meaning we're all kicking in money. Right? We all know that. Right? But it does get subsidies from the federal government because we don't have enough workers for the old people, blah, blah, blah. And then you have Medicare, which has Grown much, much, much more in relation to how self supporting it is. And then you have Medicaid, which is exploded as a drag on the federal budget way beyond any, you know, support, self supporting nature. It has. I will find those numbers for you. They're astonishing. But if you're talking about entitlement reform, you've got to start with Medicaid, then move on to Medicare. But that's a, that's a different kettle of fish. So just, you know, if there's a takeaway, enjoy the absolute dishonest demagoguery of the Democratic Party as they're claiming Republicans are trying to snatch, you know, infant formula out of the mouths of babes. Right. The whole healthcare thing, as we all know, it's just so. Because I've been going to the doctor a fair amount being sick right now and you know, I'm going to get a bill for next week. I'll get a bill and it'll be 80 bucks or it'll be 800 bucks. I don't have any idea and I don't have any idea if I actually have to pay it or not. And maybe I'll pay it or maybe I won't pay it and hope it goes away. And maybe it does go away because sometimes they do. Or maybe then you get a letter saying we're going to turn it over to collections because you don't have any idea if you're supposed to pay it or not. Just the whole thing is so random. And I never have any. I never know. Yeah, yeah, it's absolutely terrible.

I like the NBA, but it is amazing how many. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you slanderous bastard. I just don't care. Well, yeah, same thing. I don't know, but it's amazing how many games come down to like the last minute. I mean, you know, you watch for three hours and then so many games. It's just. Who can do their thing in the last minute, like all the time. And it works. I was a kid and my dad said to me, there's no point in watching the first three quarters, Joe. You have. You have to enjoy the play of it. Otherwise it's Right. Yeah. It's the reason I don't get soccer, because I don't. I've never played soccer. I don't understand. I don't understand the play. So because there's no scoring, I get nothing out of it. You have to enjoy the playing of the NBA game because if you just want the result, well, you might as well just watch the last minute like your dad said. By the way, for the record, this will be a minority opinion, but I am a courageous man, Jack, and do not fear being in the minority. A playoff hockey makes playoff basketball look like middle school chess tournaments. Hockey is great about the hockey. Hockey. The few times I've ever gotten into hockey, it is fantastic. Why is that not caught on more? Is it because it just doesn't translate to television as well? That's the half of it. The second half of it is enough. People don't understand like the rules of it and. And the rules are really super easy to understand. Give me five minutes. You'll enjoy hockey. Puck in the net. Well, that's a lot. One of the. That's really the key role. Yes. There are some minor rules though, that confuse people. Why'd they just whistle the puck and why are they stopping and going down to that end now? People get confused, they get discouraged. And yes, if you don't know the game, it's a little harder to follow on tv live in a stadium. Hockey is Spectacular. I'm not a hockey fan, and I would say that in person, hockey is the best. It's absolutely fantastic. And the crowds are fantastic, too. All right, we got a lot more of. I was up late at the Met Gala. That's why I've got this cough. And, I mean, I wore my Statue of Liberty outfit, and I was really something. More on the way. Stay here. Strong and getty. Wasn't that delicious? So good. Your bill, ladies. I got it. No, I got it. Seriously, I insist. I insisted first. Don't be silly. You know me, silly.

A wave flipped a suspected human smuggling boat carrying at least 16 people off the California coast. The boat washing ashore around 6:30 this morning on Torrey Pine State beach near San Diego. Authorities say at least three people were were killed. Four more rushed to the hospital. First responders searching for at least nine missing. The 12 foot vessel is called a Ponga boat. It's designed for fishing but commonly used by smugglers slipping people past the border. Wow. Lots of different ways to try to get people in. That's how badly people want to come into the United States. Yet we have people marching in the streets about how awful it is to be here. Yes, I suggest a change of location perhaps. I'm looking at our Twitter feed. A couple of things I wanted to mention. I retweeted the great James Lindsay yesterday who had a happy birthday shout out to Karl Marx with this funny meme. A quote from Karl Marx, who I guess it was his birthday yesterday. A quote from Karl Marx. I don't know if I'd ever heard this before. My object in life is to dethrone God and destroy capitalism. Lindsay's response was don't care. Get a job. No kidding. Speaking of memes and communists in California, this was one of my favorite the French have given up on high speed rail in California. The French because there's too much bureaucracy yeah, that should hurt. That should make us. That should make us. They're going to help build one in North Africa instead, saying the region was, quote, less politically dysfunctional. That is a quote. But my favorite thing I tweeted out over the weekend was the footage. Have you seen the footage of the humanoid robot losing its s there in the factory? Oh, you got to go to our Twitter feed and look that out. I tweeted, whoa, here's the future. A robot losing its ass. But the thing starts flailing around with its arms and legs, kicking and throwing, and everybody's running away from it. I mean, it would have taken your head off, off if it hit you. And, and some of the responses to the tweet were pretty funny and things that you have said very, very many times. It obviously was wanting to get our vital human juices, among other things, keep a baseball hat handy when working with a robot. So this is the future. Thank God I'm old. You deal with it. It have a baseball hat handy. Baseball bat. Oh, I'm sorry if I said hat. Oh, wow, it's flailing like a lunatic. Oh, yeah, it just lost its mind. It's human sized and like built of hard plastic. Or the scientists are trying desperately to corral it. That robot's request was denied for getting their birthday off. So it begins. Many people retweeted, which I agree. Yeah, yeah. Oh, and then this, this was a common theme. Now the debate. How about 100 men versus a berserk robot? Well, the thing seemed to be restrained on some sort of robot gallows, which helps, but for now, but did the next. Exactly. Yeah. If it was turned loose, please, we'd all be chopped up like little things that are chopped up. And it kind of reminds me, Elon did an interview the other day, I meant to play the audio of it where he said, said this year they're going to release the fully self driving Tesla update where it can drive, you know, autonomously without you in it or not. And so we're getting closer and closer to a lot of these cars, robots, whatever, completely being on their own. And I just, I just, I think there's going to be. I don't understand how it gets through lawsuit, America. That's what I want to watch. I don't understand how you get past the first time one of those rough bots swings its arm, hits somebody in the head and the company gets sued for $5 billion and so nobody can even try it anymore. Right. How are we going to fix that? So literally, the Tesla self driving if you're not in it, so it can come pick you up. That's what Elon said the other day. I don't believe it's going to happen for a variety of reasons, including wedge. I mean, how can we have a world where kids can't run on the playground if it ran yesterday because of the liability. But we're going to have, have, you know, fully automated robots or cars driving around. And the risks that come with, I just don't see how the math works on that unless we redo our, our tort system or something. Yeah, boy, that is absolutely true. Does tech have good enough lobbyists to redo our horrific tort system here in the country? I don't know, Jack. If you take, get that update on your Tesla, you got to sit in the back seat and just wave to people as you go down the highway and. Well, I would love it if it worked. I just don't think it's ready yet. The newer Teslas, like Most, my, my 24 cyberbeast, they moved to sonar, a sonar like thing from just the video cameras that they, that I have on my 21 Tesla. And I don't know if it was a step forward or backwards. A lot of people think it was a step backwards. It's weird looking at the screen, it looks like the sort of sorno sonar thing you've seen in movies with the wiggly lines and everything like that. Yeah, yeah. Supposed to be a step toward autonomous vehicles, but it's just, it's just never gonna work. The first one crashes, you know, runs over an eight year old girl in a crosswalk and I just feel like it's over and it'll never come back. Yeah, I don't know. They have lobbyists, they have lawyers. Sir, there have been. I hate the specificity of your example. I get why you did it but. Your honor, there have been 304 eight year old girls run over by human beings this year. So this, we're saving many, many little girls. Sorry about this one. You know, they'll, they'll make that argument. Okay. I think that's the most interesting angle of the whole thing. I don't understand how it works in modern. I just read a great piece on, on Twitter, a breakdown of how that whole thing works with juries and judges and corporations and then corporations have to go extra safe to try to protect themselves and then you can't have this and you can't have that and the reactions, I mean it's such a mess, as we all know. Yeah, yeah, it's one of the great challenges to our economy. If we were to, and this is, you know, pipe dreaming, if we were to get serious tort reform in this country, just make it much more reasonable like it was, I don't know, 30 years ago, the explosion in economic activity would stun you. You, it would take place in ways, in places you never would have imagined. But you can't have a real playground in your park because of the liability. But we're gonna have cars and robots going around on their own. It just, I don't see how it fits together. Yeah. And probably worthwhile to mention once again, German insurance companies insisted to the German government. Moron. Ze Germans next hour. By the way, they've got a crazy situation going on politically right now, a couple of different crazy situations. But their insurance companies actually went to the government and said, look, you've made life so safe for German children. They have no idea what risk is. They know have no idea how to figure out how much risk to take or how to manage it. And so they're getting in all sorts of crazy accidents and injuries because they're veal calves. You've got to let kids be kids. The insurance company said that. On the other hand, if I'm working at some sort of factory and my boss says, we got this new robot robot, it's fantastic and it swings its arm and takes my eye out. I want a little compensation for it. Oh yeah, granted, yeah, I removing robots is very different from overly safe playgrounds. Jack, you can't just say, well, robots being robots, what are you gonna do if frank whining well, we'll see. And maybe that's the future. We'll be surrounded by flailing robots losing their s.
