In Stephen Green’s latest episode of Right Angle Lightning Round, he ambushes Scott Ott and Bill Whittle with some of the weirder stories of the week, including…
— A high-speed crack up underground.
— How Trump chased New Yorkers to Miami.
— What a GOP group should have done after referring to Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘jihad squad’.
— Corey Booker’s raging hormones drive him to do this to President Trump.
— And the word you should avoid when recruiting new socialists.

Bill, (in regards to the hyper loop) check out NASA’s “Low-Boom Flight Demonstration” that they’re doing with Lockheed Martin who’s building the plane. I saw a presentation last week at AirVenture on the windshield-less design that uses forward looking cameras for the pilot. Yeah, it’s not happening in outer space, but if they can figure out the hypothetical “low boom” supersonic travel, that could be cool. NASA.gov/lowboom
As someone who lives in the beltway I’m having fun mocking the hypocrite Lefties who are crying about losing their SALT deductions. Don’t like it? Call our beloved Governor and get him to wipe off his blackface long enough to reform our taxes
Wonder what Ulysses Grant might have said to Corey ‘Spartacus?’
That graphic looks expensive.
Nearly broke us.
I read somewhere that during WW2, the soviet army’s political officers gave all soldiers an hour of indoctrination every day. They were instructed not to use the word “nazi” when talking about the enemy as having to explain what it meant – what the acronym stood for – meant they’d have to also use the word “socialist” and that would confuse the “frontniks” (or whatever the term was) because they’d be fighting people who had the same system of government.
When I first heard the Cory Booker line, it reminded me of this bit by Richard Pryor about Jim Brown.
It’s the last part.
And, this is Richard Pryor. If you can’t handle “naughty” words, don’t click.

I hope that an unintended consequence of the Trump tax reform is not that New Yorkers bring their liberal practices to Miami with them like in CA to TX, MD to VA, etc.
Also, if punching 73 year old Donald Trump would make 50 year old Cory Booker feel like a man, I say go for it Cory. And make sure to do it on camera so the entire world can see what a pussy, uh, I mean, man, you are (you pathetic little creep).
Hyperloop doesn’t operate pneumatically with relatively high pressure behind and low ahead. That’s not even proposed and it’s wildly unlikely if it’s even possible. You’d either need a tight seal against the walls, good luck getting anything to hold up to friction at 700+ mph or you’d need a tremendous amount of vacuum pumping capacity.
Everything works in CGI. Never trust anything demonstrated with CGI. I’ve watched a lot of them, the tricky bits are always just magicked away, unfortunately actual machines don’t work by magic.
There are just so many questions to be answered with the hyperloop. Unfortunately, the reporting is all of the “That Elon, he’s sooo dreamy {sigh}.” variety.
How does it (would it) actually work, RG?
What they’re demonstrating appear to run on batteries and be driven by electric motors attached to wheels.
It’s hard to know how much to allow for it being a proof of concept but the pods they’ve developed are so radically different than anything pneumatically driven that they’d be pretty pointless if pneumatics are the intended final operating mode.
I’ve got oodles of questions about the whole thing. Like:
1. The pods they’ve designed are tiny, far too small for a passenger. Is it going to be possible to scale them up to be economic?
2. What was the limitation of the pod that won the contest? Tube not long enough, not enough battery power, design limitation, or a failure of some kind?
3. What are the wheels made of? It’d need to be something pretty hard to not fly apart or rapidly wear out at 700mph.
4. How hard is the vacuum? How how much time and power does it take to achieve? If it’s hard, how are they going to keep the electronics from overheating? How much air are you going to have to carry for passengers in the event your pod fails halfway to it’s destination?
5. Musk has said the next iteration of the tube will be longer and have a curve. Why has the vacuum tube got a flat floor? You’re not going to hold any but the gentlest of curves at hundreds of miles an hour. Particularly if your tires are something low friction to hold up at speed. If it was a smooth circle inside you could bank up the side. How sharp can a turn be before your passengers need a g-suit to avoid passing out?
Another fine show gentlemen! A smile on my face was just what I needed to start off my week, Thanks!
Any discussion that includes a quote from Mark Twain is automatically an AWESOME discussion!!
Depending on my mood, if asked to apologize for offending someone with the truth, I say something like “Sorry you feel that way. I did not realize how badly the truth hurts you.” Of course, that just makes them more offended, but that is part of the fun.
