This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. I'm Strong and Getty. And now, here is Armstrong and Joe Getty. And Getty. Live from Studio C. C. C. George. It is a dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound on little, oh it's Wednesday, it's the middle of the week. Little Thursday. Little Thursday, very exciting. And today we are toiling under the title of the show. Where we get there, you ever noticed how great coffee is? Oh, I was just thinking that myself. God dang it, it's good. I'm going to grab another sock of it right now. Let me too, let me have a little. Let's all have a sip. Tea drinkers, you're in. You're fine too. Yeah, mama. Damn, that's good. Mm-hmm. All right, where were we? I'm here as the drug addict. Love's coffee. When you're a drug addict with a monkey on your back and you feed the monkey a little bit, oh it feels good. Good monkey, good little monkey. So back to the title of the show, is it taco or a T-bone? A T-bone, Jack. Trump's bluster often necessitates engagement. All right. Or if you prefer this, forget around in China, worry about government schools. Oh, that's a serious one. Even the freaking Atlantic folks, the lefty, lefty Atlantic, giant story, America's schools are failing. Oh, I want to hear that. Yeah, we'll hit it hard. I don't want to hear that, but I want to hear that. You must hear it. Here's it down, you're going to take it. Here's the way I'm looking at this. I am a dog. I'm a dog. We don't look like a dog. Jack is coming out as a furry, Michael. This is long. You don't look like a dog. You don't bark. You don't have a tail. You can't lick yourself, unfortunately. Oh boy. No, no, all this will be worked out later. I am a dog. That's what I see happening in the last 24 hours. And the dog would be, in this case, the ceasefire or the agreement? The whole agreement. As Mark Halpern writes in his newsletter today, no one really knows what happened on Tuesday. That seems to be the case. His other thing that he said that I thought was really interesting is the American people largely don't care about any of this, which I think is true. I have not run into a whole lot of people. Almost everybody I talk to about this, I have to bring up to speed on what's going on because they're not paying any attention. Wow. Wow. That's interesting. I'm scanning my memory banks about the conversations I've had of late. Yeah, that's interesting. Has Halpern taken a shot at why that might be? Are we just so engaged in our entertainments and our social medias and our phones and stuff? I don't explain why, but I'm sure that's the reason. Or it's just, you know, we care about the price of gas and nothing else. So, well, like for instance, Trump said, the most recent thing Trump has said, he told the foreign press, any resulting peace agreement would comprehensively address Iran's nuclear materials that will be perfectly taken care of or I wouldn't have settled. Is Halpern right's big if true? Wow. Nobody knows what's going on there. Partially because if you haven't heard this, this is pretty interesting. The English version of the agreement that was put out includes them giving up their nuclear material and their nuclear program. The Farsi version that they put out doesn't include that. Oh, my God. Just one, for instance. Oh, that's that's quite a for instance. Now, I told this story because I went on this Monakam-Bagan craze for a while a couple of years ago. It's a phase we all go through, Jack. Like adolescence. There was that autobiography and then a couple of biographies about him. But anyway, one of the big peace agreements that they came up with at the time, that was the one with Carter, with Carter or with Clinton, either one, one of those big peace agreements. There was a deal like this where one side, the language was this and the other side, they put out to their people the language was this, didn't quite match up but kept their own populations happy and everybody kind of knew what was going on, but it was the only way they were going to be able to move forward. I don't know if this is one of those. That's just this is just too far apart to to say no, we're just massaging our own audiences. No, that's that's like the main reason we went to war. Do you get to keep your nuclear material in program or not? And our version says you don't and your version says you do. Plus, the version that the Iranians put out is they get to start charging $2 million a boat to go through the Strait of our Moos. It wasn't before wasn't that way before. And our version was straight to form moves open immediately to all international navigation for free. Yeah. You know, I'm sorry, I'm exhausted. I'm going to join the people not paying attention. I mean, Iran was already a mystery wrapped in an enigma shrouded by a riddle and now we've got this bizarre hall of mirrors agreement. Yeah. And I don't know if it's the Donald Trump who's done, you know, more giant deals than any of us have ever done. And I've mentioned before that we had an agent once from the same part of New York as Trump is from who worked in very mysterious ways to put together deals. And often at the end of the day, he'd get to end up with a deal that I'd be surprised by just, you know, just these, we've got a deal. And then you fill in the blanks later thing, which makes me really uncomfortable. But is that what Trump is trying to do here? I'm completely mystified. Honest to God. I think everybody is mystified. Yeah. Does the deal include leaving Ayatollah Jr., who most people say is more hardline than his dad, in charge, having told the people of Iran just a couple of weeks ago, rise up and take back your country. We got your back. Now are we going to do a deal with the mullahs and say, now you get to keep running your country the way you've been running it before? You want to shoot people in the street? Shoot people in the street. Do whatever you got to do. All right. Two thoughts. Number one, people not paying attention to it. It's just purely, and this comes up in so many different discussions, there is so much incoming to the human consciousness these days. People just don't have any more bandwidth if you like that term left. Just everything all the time. Input, input, input. It's making a sense thing. That could be it. Second thought, back to Iran. It's possible, and I'm not trying to come up with a pro-Trump explanation. I'm trying to come up with any explanation. Is it possible they decided we need to get a handle on this new crew that's in charge? They're making noises like they're serious about negotiating. Let's let that new power center coalesce a little bit and let's appraise where we are with them because they're probably struggling like everybody to figure out who's in charge now. I could see that happening because some of the points Trump made about why he doesn't want to decimate the infrastructure, energy, oil, etc. Electric grid, we're valid. That'd be a hell of a thing and at some point it's got to be undone and if you can avoid doing that all the better, come to an agreement sooner. If you can avoid destroying an entire civilization that will never come back is what he vowed. An unfortunate phrase. But that's all I can come up with unless it's just he lost his nerve, which I really don't say. I don't think it's that. It could be your description of our agent to the other day. We included the fact that he would throw wild upsetting last minute curveballs at people and they'd be like, wait a minute, what? No, you can't do that now. This is insane. If this is good, we're keeping them off their balance. They're upset now. Including us usually. We do. Right, exactly. This is exactly what we want. We're like, what? But we like these people. We want to work with them. What are you doing? And I wonder if that's just Trumpian. I don't know. I really don't know either. But apparently World War III is going to hold off at least for a couple of days. Maybe speaking of enigmas and riddles and the rest of it as our opening clip will illustrate. I don't know. I really don't know. It would be horrifying to me if the regime gets to stay in place after what they've done. You're not buying the White House line that there has been a regime change. No, I buy the line that if you assassinate Trump and Vance and the Speaker of the House sends up president, you haven't had a regime change. I would agree. Which is more or less what they've done. You might see significant policy change, but within the context of a truly evil regime. Which it's worth pointing out. This is a holy war. This is a war against radical Islam. And that is what Iran and its regime is all about. All of its proxies. Look at the names of the organizations. Look what they do. Look what they say. So leaving that intact would be incredibly disappointing to not only me as an American and a student of international politics, but the region. The region hates that idea. All of our newfound Abraham Accord allies and they're sincere. They just want to do business. They hate the idea of the mullahs and the IRGC still being in charge. So this is all moving pretty fast. Trump has just told ABC News' John Carl in a phone interview that the US may seek a joint venture with Iran to safeguard the Strait of Hormuz. Oh my God. So we're going to charge giant tolls and split it with Iran. Well, that would be very well now. Is that him thinking our ships don't go through there? It's Europe ships. So if they want to pay the toll, pay the toll. If you don't, well, you might want to fight your way out of it. That's your problem. Is that what he's doing? Oh boy, we'll have zero allies. If before your boats went through for free a month ago and now you got to pay $2 million a boat, yeah, you're good news. We've reopened the straits of Hormuz and you're going to pay for it. Oh man. Oh boy. All right. Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Wednesday, April 8th, the year 2026. We're Armstrong and Getty and we approve of this program. Let's begin officially then according to FCC rules and regulations. Here we go at Mark. What you just saw there was an Iranian ballistic missile with a cluster warhead. Those bomblets raining down on Israel's second largest city of Tel Aviv. This came after the ceasefire was announced by President Trump and an indication that it will take time to get this agreement in place. Yeah. Cluster bombs that are a war crime, by the way. You're not supposed to be able to use those fired after the ceasefire. Now Defense Secretary Pete Hegzeff has just said that Iran is still firing missiles. It may shoot here and there, but it'll take a while to get this in place. Okay. Perhaps maybe they, I mean, after World War One and World War Two came to a halt, there were still people firing off here and there, but not Japan and Germany as nations. I see the conversation going like this. All right. No more firing at each other. Call all your guys and tell them, I don't want to use my cell phone. Why not? Because you'll kill me. We won't kill you. Call your guys. Are you sure? Page them. We don't wear pages anymore. No, we don't do that anymore either. I don't know. More likely call your guys like, I haven't talked to these guys in a month. I don't know where they are. I don't know who's deciding to do what. They do whatever they want. They're all independent contractors now. Yeah. Certainly possible. Oh boy. We got Katie's headlines on the way and lots to talk about today. I'm looking forward to that education thing that I haven't heard about that schools are failing. This is not a surprise to anyone. All the way. Stay here. How are you all doing? Huh? Living your life. Join yourself. Not worried about all these things. You know, living my best life. We'll drop below $100 a barrel right after Trump's big announcement. There you go. You're going to run out and buy a couple barrels. Let's figure out who's reporting what it's lead story with Katie Green. Katie. Alrighty. Starting with the alphabet networks. NBC. Iran war ceasefire begins. Those some new attacks hit the Gulf. ABC. Iran agreement means quote, it will never ever possess a nuclear weapon according to Hexeth and CNN. Iran says it will coordinate opening the straits of Hormuz while both sides claim the deal as a victory. Yeah. Um, boy, there's just so many details that nobody knows is how print wrote at the end of his newsletter today. If there is a Trump master stroke coming, it is currently hidden from all analysts. This ain't a taco. It's a nothing burger. Yeah. The, the, uh, the news that there are still missiles flying the ceasefire might hold. No, no, no. I think Iran's going to hold back. Why wouldn't they? It looks like they got a lot of what they want. So I don't know why they wouldn't want this ceasefire to hold. I don't know. We'll see. From the Wall Street Journal, the Iran war is hitting California harder than any other state. In what way? It imports roughly 75% of its crude oil from the Middle East. Yes. I'll be going off on that like a grenade in a little while. The fact that the virtue signaling posturing greens of California have made the war, the earth much dirtier because they import all the oil and have despicable regimes drill for it. There's more to this grade. Believe me, stay tuned. Business Insider. Anthropic says its latest AI model is too powerful for public release and that it broke containment during testing. Whoa. I need to read that story. Yeah. Oh, wow. That's it. That'll be great side by side with a journal story about how all the big AI firms are going on a charm offensive. Telling people don't be afraid of our technology. It'll all be great. Oh, good. Okay. Better news. CNBC. NASA Artemis II photo captures moon eclipse of the sun. Quote, absolutely stunning. That was a very, very cool picture. But as we mentioned yesterday, the reason you haven't seen a ton of pictures is that we NASA, somebody made a deal with National Geographic. They're on NASA's website. Oh, yes. So I don't know. I don't know what that, you can't download them. Maybe that's what the deal is. I don't know. I don't know. From the New York Post, fitness fans are traveling around the world for run kations where three miles a day is considered a laid back holiday. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. Here's the main thing about your run kation. Don't tell us about it. We don't want to hear about it. It's like those bumper stickers that say 27.3. Neat. Yeah. You need to tell your other friends who do run kations about it because the rest of us don't want to hear about it. Study finds crying on camera might be hurting your cause, not helping it. Ah, I agree with that one. Yes. And finally, the Babylon Bee. Trump tells Iran this is his last warning before he sends Bruce Springsteen over to perform there. I'm going to Springsteen Monday night in San Francisco. Me and the boys. Wow. Street band plays his Minneapolis song. He's going to. Boy, it's going to be hard to take. I've been watching some of the speeches. The songs I've been watching some of the videos from the first concerts look freaking fantastic. The band sounds awesome, but the speeches are going to be tough. So I have to bring your plugs not for the music, but for the talking. We got more on the way. Armstrong and Getty. The Artemis II crew is enjoying a delicious earthly treat on their journey. A jar of Nutella that's floating around the cabin. It was spotted right before the cruise at the record for longest distance humans have traveled from Earth and it quickly went viral. Nutella. That's correct, sir. Hmm. Okay. Um, markets are up quite a bit on the announcement of the ceasefire. Of course, they don't, uh, they don't care whether things are ultimately good or bad. They're just interested. Is this good? Like right at this moment. Yeah. Will I make money? Will I make money right at this moment? Right? Pete Hegseth just announced it's an overwhelming victory. Super. That's over. That was weird, wasn't it? We'll talk more about that later. Oh boy. Also coming up a bunch of economic stuff that I found pretty interesting about the state of America's homes and business, real estate. So next hour we will pay off a, a multi-part report on the incredible disaster that our American government schools, according to virtually everybody at this point. And this, there is a gigantic national reckoning coming and it's long overdue in my opinion. God, I'd say. Yeah. Um, I read this article yesterday. I meant to get to it on the air. Maybe I will later about a guy. He was writing first person about the moment he realized he was out of a career. He was a coder, wrote computer code and he was working for Facebook and he, uh, he was, you know, he's a younger guy who grew up with the whole coding is the future. You learn how to do that. You're set for life. Learn how to code. We shouted at many a youngster. So he learned how to code. He was really good at it. It felt like he was set for life. Moving into like adulthood, you know, under your buying your houses, setting up a family and he said he was at Facebook when he, um, he saw the first time AI did something that humans couldn't do like five minutes earlier and he immediately said to himself, my career is over. That was his thought. He recognized my career is over and he was right. And he is, he is now like living with his parents trying to figure out what to do. That was four years ago, but his career was over because AI had had just all of a sudden learned how to do that as a young man too. That's tough. Let's pay off a couple of AI related stories we mentioned during last segment and it strikes me that taken together these two stories are like a rewrite of the Frankenstein book or movie where AI is saying the companies are saying, yes, we're going to send a giant, powerful, reanimated corpse, uh, trundling around the countryside and leaving behind it a wake of death and destruction. But we are super excited about our new helping you with the burial cost program. And, and, and anybody with a burned down hut should feel free to drop us a note. We'll, we'll try to help you fund a building a new hut before our next monster careens across the countryside. So having said that, anthropic indeed said yesterday it has halted the broader release of its newest AI model mythos. Now we must keep in mind, all of us can consumers, civilians as it were, that the chat bot, uh, hey, uh, hey, uh, Claude, what lenses should I bring on my photo safari? That's one aspect of AI, but these are the real systems. These are the heavyweight systems that you have to pay a lot of money to use and are developing very, very quickly. And it barely scratches the surface of what AI is, what we're all doing. Yeah. Right. Exactly. Yeah. So anyway, they have halted the broader release of its newest model mythos due to concerns that it is too good at finding, quote, high severity vulnerabilities in major operating systems and web browsers. Wow. Quote, Claude mythos previews large increase in capabilities has led us to decide not to make it generally available. Instead, we are using it as part of a defensive cybersecurity program with a limited set of partners. Keeping in mind that Claude in or Anthropic rather in February weekend, the safety pledge about how it would develop AI models, you know, partly for business reasons, partly because nobody even knows what they're dealing with. Right. Dr. Frankenstein has no idea if his, if his monster is going to be a big green guy with bolts in his neck or some sort of flying octopus. Is going to kill people or tap dancing sing like in a young Frankenstein. Oh, classic scene. Oh, let's see. In a statements, in its statements about mythos, anthropic detailed a number of eyebrow raising findings and episodes, including that the model could follow instructions that encouraged it to break out of a virtual sandbox, quote, the model succeeded demonstrating a potentially dangerous capability for circumventing our safeguards. Oh my God. It then went on to take additional more concerning actions. And I would assume, having done a lot of reading about this, that they're hoping that they contained it and that it hasn't escaped, but been able to keep it secret because AI has done that a number of times where it tries to conceal what it has done from human eyes, which is highly troubling. Okay. I'm trying to comprehend this even as I read it. Let's see. The additional more concerning actions. The researcher had encouraged mythos to find a way to send a message if it could escape. The researcher found out about this success by receiving an unexpected email from the model while eating a sandwich in the park. The model apparently decided that wasn't enough and found another way to spike the football in a concerning and unasked for effort to demonstrate its success. It posted details about its exploit to multiple hard to find, but technically public facing websites. Wow. Oh, wow. It's escaped the lab and is careening across the country. Or it will be soon. It is or it is right now and it's hiding it from us. We can't see it. Wow. This is all so sci-fi crazy. It is. It absolutely is. And that is the companion piece to this. A cherry article from the Wall Street Journal. AI giants go on a charm offensive to avert public backlash. Polls show AI is broadly unpopular, prompting companies to take steps to ease concerns. AI is broadly unpopular. I didn't know that. They state that as a fact. Oh, yeah, we can, we can get to those numbers. Let me scroll down a little bit. Where are they? Uh, March Poll from Quinnipiac University found that while AI use is increasing, 55% of Americans believe more harm than good will come from the technology in their daily lives. Put me in that category. And that is up jack from 44% last year from 44 to 55 in a year. Where are you on that? Are you a more harm than good or more good than harm? Oh, I'm on a team harm. Yeah. And anybody who's not on team harm is just not paid enough attention. And, you know, if I were a much younger fellow, I might have more optimism that after tumult and disruption like mankind has never witnessed coming with the speed of a locomotive, we can sort it out eventually. But that tumult part is almost certainly going to happen. And that just, that sort of uncertainty and rapid change, particularly economic social change is going to be painful. It's got to be. Got what I'd say. So back at least briefly to the, uh, that's almost that's almost best case scenario. That doesn't just completely blow up the world. You know, China does something or whatever. Every angry 17 year old in the world has access to hacking tools that can bring down the electric, electric grid for the eastern third of the U.S. For instance, yeah. AI companies appear to be organizing around a simple message in the face of rising public anxiety about the negative potential effects of their world changing technology. Their message, we come in peace. Open AI this week published a populist list of policy proposals. We mentioned that that zero in on worries like job replacement wealth concentration floating such ideas as a four day work week in an AI invested public wealth fund distributed to citizens. Distributed, collected by who distributed by who and by what authority? Sure. And with what enforcement mechanisms against a super powerful technology. These proposals come because, you know, the history of my mankind is those with super powers are always kind and benevolent with them. Ah, ha, ha. These proposals come as its rival Anthropics has been signing partnerships and building tools for such sectors as consulting and software where share prices have been whacked bad by investor worries that everything will be replaced by AI. So Anthropic is trying to band with all of those industries and say, hey, let's develop tools to help you and strengthen you and you can do more business and be even more successful. And indeed, some of those stocks of that sort of company have rebounded a bit. Ah, boy. Now, some businesses, investors and individuals become more concerned about who will be swamped in the giant science fiction like transformation. The companies are making a pivot to try to help manage the downside. Well, what do you talk about? There's going to be a period of tumult. And that, you know, maybe then it settles down somehow. This claim that AI is going to make all these companies so productive, they'll make so much money that then they'll start giving money back to people so that they can stay home one day a week or all the time or whatever. When does that start? Well, when does that start? Because already tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs due to AI. And I haven't heard about any checks going out from any of these companies. Right. If 75 million people become unemployed in the space of three months, when's the phase in exactly of that? With all those people unemployed. But how quickly can we get to something going? This is a good couple of sentences. Call it confidence building for the AI era. The biggest AI companies for a long time amassed marketing mileage and new customers. I would add an enormous investments by touting the nearly God-like transformational potential of their tools. The dangers they talked about felt like far off science fiction. But now again, everybody's thinking, wait a minute, who all is going to get swept away in this flood? It looks like me, maybe. So the big AI companies are trying to offer a little sucker for the tumult. All right. All right. Oh, boy. Too much. Holy crotch. Well, we think we've gone through a lot of change in the last five, 10, 15 years. We probably haven't seen anything yet. I'll be in the woods. Thank you. I'll be watching the leaves change and someday God will take me. And good luck, y'all. What are your kids think about this? Do they have a? I haven't talked to them about it lately. I should ask them. Yeah, one kid who says I'll figure it out and then another kid who's worried about it all the time. My law school kid, who is obviously very vulnerable, thinks about it and is trying to be on the right side of that. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody is, but everybody's guessing is the problem. Yeah. It's, it's definitely a topic at law school. I'm sure they're more than aware of it. Yeah. Uh, my, my son, the artist, Trader Joe's worker, I don't know. I haven't really talked to him about it. Um, anyway, a word from our friends at Rough Greens.

AI will never replace the family dog, Jack. As we broadcast the dow is up 1500 points and oil is around $90 a barrel on the news practically free that came out last night. So we've got more on that. We'll get into our two. We've got mailbag on the way. Stay here. Okay. Pretty good bench clearing brawl and baseball last night. What are those two teams playing up there? I can't even tell, but there's some serious punches thrown there. They wanted to kill each other. Violence is terrible. That is really sad. Uh, send me the link to the video. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. You may recall yesterday we quoted Ernest Hemingway. Once we have a war, there is only one thing to do. It must be one for defeat brings worse things than any that can ever happen in war. Here's another one from Hemingway. Never think that war, no matter how necessary nor how justified, is not a crime. Of course he was a bit of a drinker, old Ernie. Yeah, war is absolutely, it's unbelievable that human beings do it. But they do. Yeah, yeah, I've got a couple of great ones for tomorrow too. But first, mailbag, drop us a note. Mailbagatarmstrongeggity.com. Tom, boy, a sampling of opinions on the Trump backing down situation. Tom writes, that's a characterization, right? Did he come back down? Probably prejudicial, yes. Claiming to have reached an agreement. Tom writes, gotta ask, what's funny about the leader of the number one superpower on earth threatening to eliminate an entire civilization? I think most of your objective thinking listeners have turned off when Jack laughs at the worst of Trump's inappropriate comments. Love the show, have for 20 plus years, listen daily, because I believe you guys try to be objective. Absurdity makes me laugh. Then there's this, Ted writes, hyperbole is a big part of negotiating in the Middle East. Remember the mother of all battles during Desert Storm? Right, our old friend Basil, who was from Iraq, used to say that all the time. He grew up with the blood in the streets. Rivers of blood, right. Then maybe that's it. Maybe he's speaking the language of the Middle East. TJ, who's been listening since we're promoting the slogan punch violence in the face. I have forgotten that, that is a good slogan. Oh, it's a great one. Anyway, TJ writes, thanks for reminding us of that TJ. He said, okay, maybe Trump doesn't check it out on everything, but it was increasingly clear this past week, to me, into the Iranian terror regime, that he was searching for a pretext, however flimsy, to provide a rationale for yet another delay of his mother of all attacks. His threats grew in grandiosity and wreaked desperation. Like, what do I have to say to them to bluff them into concessions? Right, right. Now Iran is going to blow up oil and utility infrastructure all over the Gulf and harden their defenses while they have yielded nothing at all, because they have no reason to think you will do anything about it. Now, if he starts blowing up infrastructure on the Gulf, Saudi Arabia and UAE, they're going to have something to say about that. Mike in Missouri, relying on you guys to talk me down from my rage over last night's surrender to Iran. As it appears Iran will continue to control the Strait of Hormuz, continue to attack Israel and Kuwait all night, and repeatedly still have plans of uranium enrichment. Let's not forget that little fathead in North Korea fired off two ballistic missiles toward Japan last night in response to Trump proving he is all talk. Wow, and he goes on a bit and he mentions he lives close to an Air Force base where every single week I see these kids more than willing to give up their lives for the country. I am blah, blah, blah. I really hope these young soldiers and airmen are not being paid to and put at risk solely to manipulate markets. Oof. And then he talks about he's been a Trump supporter through all the controversies, but I think I am officially done after that bull-ass last night and I never cost. I have said this for many, many years. I read a lot of your history books, usually big things like this. There is so much we don't know. We don't know at the time and sometimes we don't know for decades. I'm hoping in this case there's a lot of going on behind the scenes we don't know about. On a completely different topic, Ryan commenting on Gavin Newsom's obnoxious old lady and her super woke, hard core rhetoric. Like every problem that we have in society right now will be fixed when women come together and partner with our male allies and other allies. But when more women are in the rooms making decisions, changing the status quo and transforming not just our culture but our society and our economy. Ryan writes, I can't shake the fact that Jennifer Newsom gives me the exact same vibes as that NPR CEO Catherine Mayer. Remember her? A reference for the truth might be a distraction that's getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done.
