Airport Sunday afternoon slamming nose first into several vehicles. Guys, the planes on fire, planes on fire, such as game faces on, it struck a truck with your own patient on the ground. Firefighters using a ladder to climb through the cockpit window. Officials say five people were killed and five others were injured. The plane's pilot didn't radio for any sort of help. Now officials are trying to figure out how the plane overshot more than 9,000 feet of runway. You probably know this story by now. And so what if they determine it's just a screw up by the pilot? I mean, he obviously landed way too late. Yeah, I've just heard witnesses say he came in flat and fast and nobody's sure why because that's a huge no no flying a plane that big. Well, he landed a full quarter of a mile further down than he was supposed to touch down. So yeah, he ended up on top of people, but people that died were people on the ground. The plane just scorched them. There were beyond the runway over the grass through the fence on the road.

Yeah. And that airport's being criticized for not having this material at the end of the runway that's like a runway truck ramp. But you know, airports are recommended to have. You don't need it if the pilot lands on the runway. Which seems like a good idea. There a chance that incredibly complicated machine had a mechanical problem. Yes. Nobody's sure. They aren't. They have no idea. I just saw pilots blasting the pilot a weekend long on the cable news channels. Yeah, well, it may be. I don't know, but it's well, that's the cable news channels, but I don't I don't know. I freely confess. I do not know. So a bunch of different things that happened over the last four days, including today that we should tell you about, including this Wall Street Journal article that I want to talk about later. First good news article I've seen about Iran in a long time. Time is no longer on a rand side in the battle of the blockades, making the argument that things have flipped. And now the pressure is way more on them than us. So we can get into that in more details later. But I was happy to see a positive Iran war article. Yes, indeed. And speaking of positives,

there was a really good jobs report that came out just before the weekend, 162,000 new jobs in August. Those are always revised. But in a previous month, it got and revised upward to from what I understand. Good little bounce in manufacturing employment. Just as some of the big foot media was saying that Trump's tariffs have done nothing to spur manufacturing. According to the real clear markets manufacturing employment is up 58,000 jobs this year driven by a 94,000 job in durable goods. There's so much spin on either side. It's difficult to know exactly what's going on. But that was a good job number. And then this is interesting. Americans without college degrees are having one of the best job markets in years. It's the opposite story for college grads. I'm looking at the line graph from 2006 through 2026. And there's always a little space between

the lines. Sometimes they're a little worse for one college grad versus non college grad. But they track very much together. With just little gaps appearing now and again. Well, right now, the hiring for non college to, oh, this is unemployment actually. For college degrees is up significantly more than non college degree folks. Do we have any idea why that is? I, in the starting today, if you got somebody applying for a job and you tell me they've got a college degree, that means nothing to me. Right. Nothing. Uh-huh. In fact, maybe even, not even maybe, guaranteed more likely to be a pain in the ass employee. To my mind. It's yellow flag. Heck yeah, T yellow flag. If not flashing red, depending on what college you went to, that you're going to be a liability around here. Yeah. Yeah. Now, keep in mind that we are talking about

unemployment rates there on an absolute scale. It's still easier to find a job with a college degree. The unemployment rate for degree holders in their prime working years average 2.7 percent for the last 12 months. Uh, that's well below the 3.6 percent rate for workers with just some college education and 4.7 percent for people with a high school diploma only. Uh, but the trend is starting to turn in the other direction. What it means long term, nobody knows, but it is, uh, it is worth noticing. Coming up, the best popcorn you've ever had is at Walmart and it costs a dollar. Stay tuned for that story. We missed the big Walmart popcorn story. I'm luckily on top of it now before you've heard it from all your friends. Hmm. Get to that next segment. I was seriously contemplating launching a YouTube channel in which I review uh, gourmet potato chips as I have come to realize I am a serious connoisseur of fancy potato chips. Really? Oh yeah. Yeah. I'm willing to

try any flavor and I notice myself pontificating about them. To no one's delight. Uh, but I thought, you know, this is a passion of mine. This could be my next chapter. Joe the chip guy and I'm sure there are channels out there already, but mine will be uniquely me. There's room for another one. Sure. Sure. Man, if I walk into a store and they don't have the yellow lays, I'm like, what are we even doing here? Oh, that's what I want. Those are so good. Oh my God. Charlotteson potato chip wife child. You child. And I discovered an incredible new chip, but I can't remit this is not the infamous time when I refuse to what was it? Joe keeps it a secret because of the different potato chip. That's right. And he wouldn't tell anybody because it's something. I don't know. Well, I think we didn't know right at the time, but you're impugnating me. No, that wasn't it at all. No, I think we could handle it. Yeah. I thought it was a small regional brand as it turns out, but I will I will grab a bag and tell you the brand and the flavor as soon as I can remember. But

anyway, yes, I'm really into gourmet potato chips. What's funny is that as a kid, I didn't like potato chips. Isn't that weird? What? I know. It's a man. Yeah, man. I've got no interest in this. Unless there's a little onion dip handy, I am a slut-fronkin dip. I will absolutely admit that. But now I'm totally into chips here. So did you follow the story of Whitcoff and Kushner landing in Moscow and talking to Putin over the weekend? The brought out lines of it. Maybe we should play the audio. A lot of people got really angry at Whitcoff saying some very friendly things to Vladimir Putin. And I thought that was pretty ridiculous if you've read much history about diplomacy and all that sort of stuff. We're just getting to see it. You don't normally get to see what's going on here. Right. I don't get the persistent belief that if you butter Putin up a little bit, I don't get a better result. I know, bargaining with an alligator. I don't either. But

if you're thinking that throughout history, diplomats went and met with whatever bad leader around the world and sat there. None of the other thing I hate about you is the way they handled it. It's not a read some history that you got to go in and you got to be friendly. You got to be nice. And you hope to screw them in whatever they're trying to do. That's what you hope to do. But we can talk more about that later also. We'll play the audio for you and see it's repulsive to hear him flattering Putin, Putin being a guy who's murdering children and grandmas on a regular basis. Right. But such as the history diplomacy. The great Henry Kissinger did once say that diplomacy is the art of saying nice doggy with a heavy stick behind your back essentially. Got a great thing coming up here in about 15 minutes. A list of numb nuts and their criticisms of capitalism that well, they were educated somewhere. I guess our school or our public schools or colleges or whatever. But the number of things people blame on capitalism. It's both disturbing and hilarious.

So we'll get to that in about 10, 15 minutes. Absolutely. I love that. I will beat on socialists with both my rhetorical fists until my dying day and not get bored for a single second of it. Oh, speaking of political movements, we also need to talk about the victory of the AFD, the alternative for Germany party, the far right party and what it means, what it doesn't mean. And as always, I would like to thank our analysis will be a bit more than the drive by very surface level crap you hear elsewhere. Well, if you stay tuned for that, think you can allow endless immigration without a pushback. You're wrong. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. The point I've tried to make over and over again is if you ignore the will of the citizens and you pretend they're not dissatisfied, those who do recognize their dissatisfaction will get their loyalty, including in the case of the AFD, if you ask me, they have some abhorrent policies.

But they were the ones saying you're right about rampant immigration. You're absolutely right. We're losing Germany, who's with us and people thought, you know, I don't love all this stuff you're but yeah, yeah, okay, I'm with you. And the you main streamers, you got to understand that. Seat trumps to wins. Exactly. Absolutely true. So the football season is about here. So excited. I enjoyed some college ball over the weekend. Football is here and so is draft kings. You know, there are two games kicking off the NFL season this week. We have to talk about the one that's in Australia. It's because it's kind of interesting. Anyway, so the weight is over.

There's just too much stuff out there in terms of the whole socialism capitalism argument, but the socialists had their, well there, I don't know who put this together, but socialism 2026. Did you see any of the clips coming out of that

thing? Some of the speeches or whatever? I mean, it's unbelievable. The stuff these people believe that that being fit is fascist and white supremacy and we need to stop working out or just what all kinds of crazy nonsense, but we'll we'll get to some of that later too. Yeah, it is both nuts, but make sense if you understand the framework that they operate from. So can't wait to talk about that and clue you into how freaking fruit nuts these people are. So Germany, big election results over the weekend. The AFD, which is the alternative for Germany, Deutschland, they call it there. Nobody knows why, but it is a the farthest right party that's had significant electoral success in a very long time. And in fact, in one of the states of Germany, one of the former Eastern, East German states, they won about 44% of the vote in Sunday's big election. And that's sending an earthquake through German politics. All right, two things you need to understand. Number one, there's been like a wink and not agreement that the main quote-unquote

mainstream parties will never form a coalition with these right wingers. They remind us too much of the Nazis. So because they don't like outsiders, they're trying to stop immigration. So they must be Nazis. And the second thing you have to understand, it's a parliamentary system. So you've got to get a majority. You've got to join with another party to reach 50% plus one. And then you quote unquote form a government. So even in this one state, the AFD doesn't have a majority, but they are now far too big to ignore. And it's causing, like I said, an earthquake in German politics and European politics because Germany is the number one economy in Europe. Yeah, I saw the guest assay in the New York Times before the election when it was clear from the polling that this party was going to do so well. Something alarming is about to happen in Germany. I'm really worried about this. And my take after I read just a little bit about it is, yeah, I understand their argument. So it was all about the country changing right before their eyes with

practically open borders there for a while under Merkel. And yeah, people don't like that. I've been saying this forever. And I understand why it isn't obvious to everyone. People like their current, the town they grew up in, the country they grew up and they like their own language, their own food, their own music. All this talk about diversity is nice, but people like what they had nobody says, you know, I'd really wish the town I grew up and spoke a different language. We ate different food and listened to different music. Nobody says that. And then when that happens, people get really upset. That's funny. It just reminded me. I saw another great thread yesterday on the whole diversity thing. A little speech of Biden talking about diversity than how the neighborhood he lives in is 99% white. A little speech about Kamala Harris talking about diversity and then how she lives in the neighborhood is 99% white. So that works. Yeah, I would answer you with what you just said with it. Yeah, if it were merely that, that would be reason enough because you get to decide immigration policies for your own country. But if the population

that is coming in is specifically militantly anti-Western civilization in large numbers, anti-your culture and a militantly expansionist political system masquerading as a religion. Yeah, that's extra extra bad. And that's what Europe's dealing with. For what it's worth all those people including the Europeans, they desperately need young workers to prop up the welfare state. That and their idiotic, you know, up with diversity at all costs attitude. That's what's going on. It's I thought this part from the New York Times piece was interesting. What makes the AFD's rise especially shocking that it's much more extreme than other European far right parties that are either already in power like Georgia, Maloney's brothers of Italy or could be soon like Marine Le Pen's national rally. Well, it's just talking about how this has happened in several other countries. These movements driven a lot by the number of Muslim immigrants you're letting into

your country. And people ain't digging it. Yeah, my problem with the AFD is that they are like really cozy with Putin. They are being in East toward Russia as the great defender of something or other in their anti-helping Ukraine against the Russian onslaught. And I absolutely hate that. But that's what I was referring to last segment. If you essentially declare, all right, the only party that is going to give voice to the anguish of the people over this rampant immigration of a hostile culture, the only people who get to give voice to that is those lunatics on the right. Yes, the same ones who are pro-Putin. Everyone else will pretend it's not a problem. Well, then you're going to see what you get with the AFD. That's going to happen. If you in the mainstream Friedrich Merch you punk ass worthless German. I can't finish my insult. But if you had given voice to the people's unhappiness and fear legitimate fear, you wouldn't have this problem. Yeah, punk.

Now, this is the art times version of this. But whereas those parties in the other countries, I mentioned, have sought in some ways to moderate themselves, the AFD in Germany has become more radical over time, deepening its ties to neo-Nazis and promising to repatriate migrants. In other words, send people back as it is done so it has grown only more popular. Well, you got more extreme with your let everybody in. So the other side is going to get more extreme with the no you ain't. It's like the opposite of Bill Clinton and his famous triangulation where he'd be like, you know, a lot of people agree with the Republicans on this. I'm going to go that way. I'm going to clean up welfare and say, you know, we got to have limitations for the time there's work requirement and that sort of thing. In Europe, they did the opposite about rampant immigration. They pretended it wasn't a problem. And now they're eating the yummy, yummy bitter fruit. Promise this next segment is funny about the things people blame on capitalism. Tim Ryan here with your Bay Area team and four.

The Armstrong and getting sure. So the best popcorn in the world is circus time popcorn from Walmart. It's a dollar bag. They don't have it at every Walmart in a country yet. The places they have it it is sold out. And it's absolutely fantastic. I'm more on that later. It's best popcorn I've ever had. Also NFL two two games this week to kick off the season including tomorrow. A Wednesday night game but the Thursday night games in Australia with one team the 49ers deciding to go there early to adjust to the time change because it's like a complete flip on the time change. Oh yeah that's it's it's crazy going to Australia. Yeah. But then the their opponent the Rams decided to go completely the other direction. They're going to do this whirlwind 16 hour turn

around like so you don't have to adjust you know if you've ever done that yet you do a really quick trip so you don't adjust you don't have time to adjust right so it's two different philosophies we'll see how that works on Thursday night football. Well yeah because the Niners are going to have to adjust back. I think I think they made the wrong choice we'll find out games on Netflix. Oh it's on Netflix. What? Yep. Well I have Netflix but I'm knowing. Came across this this is pretty dang funny from the sky who calls himself Jeremiah Johnson. So it started with this thread I saw bouncing around over the weekend. This is some of this is not picking a lot of it is not a lot of these are PhDs. Well they're nuts but you know they're elites. So you're a PhD you're teaching kids in college that's not just a random loser and as apartment tweeting something out and then we all discuss it like it matters. Your PhDs are you written books or your columnists for newspapers or magazines or whatever. This I don't know who this was I think this is just a random nut but it started with this maybe it's out over the weekend.

I really really hate the concept of capitalism. I don't want to work my job every day I want to make art I want to be in my garden I want to feel something and of course I got a strong. Oh boy. From a lot of people but then this guy went on this thread of all kinds of different people and news organizations and everything like that blaming various things on capitalism for instance Reuters back in 2011 on how Hugo Chavez says capitalism may have ended life on Mars. Pretty funny little speech that the crazy Hugo Chavez gave that there was once life on Mars but capitalism and imperialism ended it so. Well, anything's true to me. Yeah. Why you don't have any friends? Why are you lonely? That is capitalism. This is from a PhD. Don't let anyone tell you that you're struggling with making friends as an adult isn't tied directly to capitalism and you know who's going to tell you it's not rich people who benefit from your constant labor and ignorance and it goes on and on and on. Why is meal prep annoying capitalism? This is also from some fancy pants

to journalists. I say that every time Judy asked me to help slice the onion. I'm not going to fall into your capitalist trap. I don't understand what people do about lunch at work either you spend 20 to $40 every day eating out if that's even an option or you spend tons of time making food to bring or you can bring microwave easy stuff which is 300 calories and you're starving an hour later. I'm spending so obviously with a lot of response. The idea that having to somehow provide yourself a lunch at work is awful and oppressive and unfair. So I'm supposed to spend an entire day making lunches for the way if that's what it takes. I don't think it's an outfancy a lunch you want. That's just funny funny funny funny. Would you like to have something to eat? Then get it. Why does food come in bowls capitalism? They are intended to add sophistication to the menu but bowls don't fill you up and show one

thing above all the triumph of capitalism. It is the idea that they're trying to keep you hungry or something like that. I don't know. I can't get bogged down on all these because there's so many of them. bowls as opposed to plates, saucers and even the humble platter. What? Why do most people prefer monogamy? That's capitalism from this PhD. Monogamy culture is consumed with ideas about possession and hoarding. It's romantic capitalism. Yes. Why you care whether or not your kid is genetically your kid is capitalism. The rise of capitalism changed the way we had sex as soon as we started passing money and titles down the male line making sure the kid was actually yours became very important. I think people probably men's, but they've always cared that the kid was actually theirs. There are a few societies that have existed on earth that aren't formed up that way and they always cite them as if proof that's the right way to go and it was just the

perversity of capitalism that made you care whether somebody was sweating on your wife. Well, you're working on capitalism. It's a good point. It's not if you've ever had that feeling of jealousy or whatever. That was capitalism. It wasn't just some natural emotion that we all have. I need to cast off my chains. Honey, get after it. Have fun. Yes, Michael. I know this is why we need an open marriage. Capitalism. Why don't you read as much as you want to capitalism? We really have to acknowledge that not enough time to read is part of the theft built into capitalism. Another PhD. Wow. I know. Why do we use solar time instead of lunar time, masculine capitalism? Lunar phases women on the internet are saying lately offer a way to structure time that's in opposition to the 24 hour solar clock, which undergirds are capitalism, capitalist masculine society and asks us to be the same person every day. God, that is classic

what you're always saying that you have to be an intellectual to buy this stuff. I mean, you would have to be a PhD to start talking about lunar phases and masculine capitalism in the 24-hour solar clock, forcing you to blah, blah, blah. Wow. I'm telling you. I thought I thought I was mentally prepared for this. I am wow. Why does frozen food exist capitalism? They hate disabled people so much. They're out here defending frozen food. It's a meal format. The game mainstream popularity as white women entered the workforce while at the same time, it became harder to support a family and one salary. So not having a cook met more time for doing capitalism. That's why frozen food exists. White women in the workforce. I think what they're trying to do is be funnel us into submission with some of these theories. I mean, I'm going to wait, wait, wait, you got to slow down. The women that you threw in white there. Why white? Just sit out and obey. All right. When I first came across this, I was doing like the deeper guy on each one of

them, but there was so many of my finally just gave up because it's all jargon nonsense that we've you know that James Linger talks about. It's just paragraphs that you read and you can't figure out what it said anyway. We've talked a lot about this one the whole being on time is capitalism or white supremacy. Why do you have hobbies? Capitalism. I really like this one. This is from the Atlantic. The way American culture glorifies and promotes hobbies also serves to reinforce the notion that idleness is wrong. What Gilbert in his book calls the folk wisdom of capitalism. He believes that hobbies reinforce the values of achievement productivity progress, which fits into the capitalist mindset. So hobbies are a way to perpetuate capitalism. And not just I also like to play the guitar when I get home at night. It brings me satisfaction. I'm happier while I'm doing it. No, you're not. You're a slave to capitalism. I'm getting the sense that it's like every pet peeve or dissatisfaction

in life can be attributed to capitalism. Get to t-shirts that don't fit right and are too tight. Surely I can blame that on capitalism. Following birth weights are capitalism for the obvious reason they're claiming that people are making a conscious decision not to have kids, which I don't believe. No, you're not. I like this. Why is weed illegal? Capitalism. Why is weed legal capitalism? There's a good piece on both sides. One of it is it was illegal back in the day because we have to work all day and profit the big companies and being high gets in the way of that. So that's why weed was illegal. Then when we became legal it was more of a cannabis salesman in suits for a product that the ruling class increasingly agrees is a valuable profit opportunity and keeps us passive or something. Oh boy. Why do you have to charge your phone? Capitalism being at the airport and wanting to listen to YouTube videos but also needing to charge my phone and not being able to do both. Well, that easy to lose air pods makes me want to destroy capital and capitalism

more than I already do. I'm sorry WTF. That one completely lost me. The fact that you have to charge your phone occasionally. You have to make a lot of lunch per work. But you can't you with it to charge it with the you TV with the air pods and the uh uh uh uh my air pods are white. The same color as the white supremacy. Hmm think it's a good stop and think. No. Why do in cells exist capitalism? This woman writing for the Guardian a broken idea of sexist flourishing blame capitalism. Why can't you fall asleep at night on an entire book 24 seven late capitalism in the ends of sleep. Why do people paint their homes beige capitalism. The beige conspiracy American interior design is a symbol of the quiet despair of capitalism and surmurbio. Well, they got that one right. Oh my god. That's funny. You got a good point

there. So much beige. Oh, that's funny. So many different shades. Why capitalism? Agge shell cottage white cream all capitalism. The beige conspiracy. The quiet despair of capitalism and surmurbio. Why did those who would parody these people have leaned down their pens? I know. I'll stop here soon, but why did no don't why do Taylor Swift marry Travis Kelsey? I know I know. Why do people break their leaves capitalism? A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapalist society occurs every year at this time across the country. That's right. That's what I say every time my dad used to make me rank him. You racist the suicidal knarkoaks and what? The suicidal absurdity of technocapalist society. That's why you why break my leaves. I knew it was something like that. Right. Finally, we again we can cast off

our chains together. Why do trans people exist? Two reasons capitalism and capitalism. Why capitalism loves transgenderism and why capitalism hates transgenderism? Transgenreism. So got both sides of that one. Why do you like astrology? That's a good one. Why are we so also hooked on astrology? Capitalism writes this. Oh yeah. Finally, I get it. All right.

Do you really recharge and be more productive the rest of the year? Do you make life changing experiences? Or is it just a well advertised industry that's great at taking your money and exquisite care at capitalism has invented? Oh, I'm sorry. No, I meant no. No, I don't take any pleasure from it playing beautiful golf courses with friends and my wife

and eating yummy food and looking at beautiful. I hate it. I hate it. I'm being exploited. I just know it. So is it make you feel better than that that justifies you're not wanting to go to work or their fact that your job sucks and you just assume everybody's job sucks because they know capital is. Yeah, yeah. I think I can explain this maybe after the break a little bit. What ties all this stuff together with some hilarious examples from our audio vault. If you can stay tuned.

One trip shows what the news doesn't. One trip connects people to history. One trip changes everything. The arms strong and getting sharp. The political deployment of GOP ones is fascistic. Not because individuals take them but because the conditions under which they become necessary are shaped by a world fixated on genociding fat people. This is a structural critique that asks what happens when the conditions produced by capitalism, by public health, by the state apparatus,

and by anti-black desire align around a single bodily ideal that leaves little to no room for diversions and punishes any body that does. Whereas earlier diet drugs were often associated with vanity or addiction, GOP ones are positioned as responsible medicine, promising relief rather than restrain. But to understand why the deployment of GOP ones as fascistic requires turning to front's unknowns account of black flesh under colonial surveillance. Exactly. Exactly. Just like Hitler. So that's at the Socialist 2026 gathering and of course he was wearing a mask and the various nut job white checks who got up to speak in similar fashion they were wearing masks because of course they were. And they throw around this jargon in serious tones. Like 99% of us don't think they're nut jobs. If anybody ever quotes front's phenomenon to you run. Anyway, so the commonality

between all these bizzaro takes on the ills of capitalism and all that it causes is it comes out of the Communist manifesto that the lazy jobless wished somebody else would pay for his stuff marks. Wrote, the communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things. And that's what this is. Every conceivable gripe they say, yeah, that's that's caused by capitalism. So like every pet peeve a human being has the communists, these neo-Marxists who are disciples of Phenon and his Mary Banda French commies. Anyway, every gripe you could possibly have is tied back to capitalism so you will be enlisted in the overthrow of it. It's like the whole queer thing. You know, transgender gay queer by gender non-conflict. Orming brawl, brawl to usvert. But queer, what does queer mean? It means in opposition to the

traditional. It's straight out of the Marxist Manifesto. Every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things. That's what we're seeing. So you know, I a lot of us grew up with communism kind of being distant and it was a loser. We won in 1989. It's gone away. No, it hasn't not even close. And they don't think that you can take it too far and at some point, most people are mocking you because that's ridiculous. I think that's yet another example of it used to be an idea that stupid would get you laughed out of everywhere you went physically. But now you go to the internet. And so there's no idea that so stupid you can't find 10,000 people who say, yeah, you're right. This fascistic deep frozen food or food, food bowls as opposed to plates. This is the fascist bowl with its concavities. Oh my god. Oh, you know what? I wish we had

a little more time for this. We've got a little bit great piece by Mark Penn and Andrew Stein, socialism in the dumbest generation. Young people embrace an ideology that goes against everything they actually believe. He's talking about a big Harvard Harris poll that just came out. You know, and he goes into Marxist theory, but 77% of registered voters under 25 believe their paycheck should be based on the merit and value of their work. And that's the smallest cohort. The young folks, 77% say, no, if I do better work and more work, I ought to earn more money. Dude, you're already not a socialist. 68% of these young voters say they want to own their own home. But you remember Zora and Mamdani's director in New York City blah blah blah has declared that private property and especially at home ownership as a weapon of light supremacy. And that housing

should be regarded as a collective good. And then there are a bunch of other 70% of them want to own their own business private enterprise. 63% see America as the land of opportunity and yet they're voting for socialists. The only reason you care about the fact that your kid is actually your kid is capitalism. True. Otherwise, you'd be perfectly fine raising some other guy that got with the light.
