Speaker 1: I'm gonna seed to text. I'm see your Facebook messages, Dan, everything, Dan.

13
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: What have we got from Hunter to Biden's trial?

14
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: Well, it was day two today and basically both sides

15
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: are laying the groundwork for this case and they're trying

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: to decide whether or not Hunter Biden purchased this gun

17
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: while he was addicted to drugs. He's been charged with

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: several felonies here buying this cult revolver when he was

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: addicted to crack, and that's according to his memoir. He's

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: been accused of lying and having the gun for eleven days.

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: So really what the jury did today was listening to

22
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: these audio excerpts of his memoir of Hunter talking about

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: his book Beautiful Things, in which he narrates how he

24
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: went back to Delaware and he bought the gun and

25
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: is descended at drugs and his the death of his

26
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: brother back in twenty fifteen. So President was in Washington today,

27
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: so he wasn't there at the trial, and he's heading

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: over to France for that, but he's he's getting some

29
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: support from some of his family.

30
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: Interesting, how do you think this is going to play out.

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: I think he's going to get a little bit of

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: a slap on the wrist to find maybe he'll get

33
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 2: a little house arrest as well as in community service.

34
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: I'll be surprised if he gets any kind of jail time.

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: Maybe he'll have time spent, you know, time served already

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: for that. But that's that's what I can see happening

37
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: at this point in time.

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: I mean, politically, you almost need something to be done

39
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: to Hunt to Biden, given that something's been done to

40
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, right, Otherwise it's just going to seem the

41
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: conspiracy to.

42
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: Amedice Moirl exactly. That's what you've got Republicans already going

43
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: on about at this point.

44
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: Okay, now, why did Joe Biden? I mean, Joe Biden

45
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: is obviously right that Benjamin nittan Yah who was dragging

46
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: out the war and guys of a political game, But

47
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: why did he say it?

48
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, that's that's one of those questions. You

49
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: just don't know why Joe Biden says what Joe Biden says,

50
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: like you don't know why Donald Trump says what Donald

51
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: Trump really says. And I think if you look at

52
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: the things, I mean, you know, Netanyahu's popularity is plummeted

53
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 2: after the attack by Hamas. I think most political observers

54
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: agree that he would lose the elections if it was

55
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: hell today. And I think Biden was just the same,

56
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: basically what he felt. And then a White House spokesperson

57
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: later in the day kind of walk that back a

58
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: little bit, you might say. And Joe Biden even did

59
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: the same too, saying what he didn't think that When

60
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: he was asked whether nat Yah, who was playing politics

61
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: with the war, Biden said, I don't think so. He's

62
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: trying to work out a serious problem that he has.

63
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: So again, words are important especially when you're somebody at

64
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: Joe Biden's age, when you're accused of having some of

65
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: the cognitive issues that he has, when you're this close

66
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: to an election like we are over here.

67
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: Would you talk to an AI version of the deed?

68
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: You know? I don't know since I saw this story,

69
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: I mean, would you.

70
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I reckon? I would I reckon, I would do it,

71
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: But Dan, I reckon. I would do it, like with

72
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: an absolute check on myself, because if it started to

73
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: become like I was actually believing this really was my

74
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: dead granny, Like if I was starting to get weird

75
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: about it, I'd need to self regulate.

76
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you. Yeah, I think so. And basically, this man

77
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: found out, you know, when he was terminally ill with

78
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: colon cancer, spent a lot of time with his wife

79
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 2: and said, you know, what's going to happen after my death?

80
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: And she said she'd miss asking him questions. So he

81
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: came up with this idea to recreate his voice with

82
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: AI and teamed up with a friend here in the

83
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: US to start this AI legacy platform. And we're seeing

84
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: more of these here. There's a company in California called

85
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: story File that will allow you to interact with pre

86
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: recorded videos, and what that does is it uses algorithms

87
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: to kind of second guess what the questions are going

88
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: to be. And then there's another project that has you

89
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: fill out this questionnaire about you know, the person and

90
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: their traits, and then you pay ten dollars and it

91
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, simulates a text based conversation with

92
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: the character. So maybe it's good, maybe it helps you

93
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: feel better, but I think it's going to open up

94
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: a whole lot of ethical questions too well.

95
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: I think it's going to make a whole bunch of

96
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: people go crazy. Thank you, Dan, I appreciate it. Dan Mitchison,
