Speaker 2: No more cold weather. Yesterday was the last cold day.

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: It's in the forties today, and then from now on fifties, sixties,

Speaker 2: and they'll even hits seventy and winter is gone. We'll

00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: get you that all the latest. We give the latest

00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: details on the war, exactly where we stand. We'll get

Speaker 2: to Texas, what happened last night, we get to Epstein

Speaker 2: and those crazy hearings. We'll get to congestion pricing, We'll

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: get to We had lots to talk about today, So

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: let me just give you a war update. Now, you

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: got these crazy Democrats, Chuck Schumer and others. Schumer I

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: watched him yesterday. He said Donald Trump and his endless war.

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: It's four days yesterday, endless war. I don't think four

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: days is endless. But Schumer, you know, trying to. He's

19
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: an old, washed up Willie Lohman, old washed up, old

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: fossil old dinosaur, sad sort of a guy now in

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: the very end of his career, trying to look relevant.

22
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: You know, he got bigger glasses. He had these glasses.

23
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: Now he got the really big mister McGoo glasses. Maybe

24
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: that'll help. It's not helping, but every time people see him,

25
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: I think it really really helps Trump when you see

26
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: this old fossil try to attack things.

27
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 3: America wants this president to pay attention to the problems

28
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: at home, not the problems overseas, particularly when no one

29
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: has any idea of what the real rationale is. It

30
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: changes every hour.

31
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: Now, if Trump had launched some big thing at home,

32
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: Schumer would say, he's not paying attention to receives. It's

33
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: just a ridiculous guy.

34
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: Which one is it, Donald Trump? Regime change, nuclear weapons, missiles,

35
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 3: an imminent threat to the homeland, or a preemptive strike

36
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: to stop future attacks on the region.

37
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, the answer is yes, that's what it is. It's

38
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: all of those things. I don't think he realizes what

39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: he's doing. He's so old. He's like an old tired fighter.

40
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: You know, Boxer keeps missing every punch misses. He just

41
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: listed like nine reasons why you want to go do this.

42
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: Let me give you the latest down Iraq, though here

43
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: this is right from the Pentagon all the latest. We

44
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: are originally talking about one week. Now they're talking about

45
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: three weeks, four weeks, maybe even five weeks. But the

46
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: reason for the extension is we're doing much better than

47
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: we hoped. We didn't think it would be this easy. Now,

48
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: remember you got the this has never happened before. You

49
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: got the two best militaries in the world, the US

50
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: and Israel, and Israel is the most highly skilled military

51
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: in you could possibly have in the Middle East. Nobody

52
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: has better intelligence, better capabilities in a Middle East war.

53
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: So the two militaries combining, working side by side, it's

54
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: an unbelievable powerful combination. So not only we've not only

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: taken out all their weapons capability, we're now taking out

56
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: all their manufacturing capability, so they won't be able to

57
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: bring anything back. We've taken out all the leaders We've

58
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: got all the top leadership, and now what they're going

59
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: to do is go down the tiers each level, take

60
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: out each level of leadership all the way down. We've

61
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: taken out most of their weapons, ballistic missiles. They still

62
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: have some, but most of them have been taken out.

63
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: They still have some drones which are harder to get.

64
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, they were building them at a

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: very very fast pace. That was the problem. They were

66
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: building ballistic missiles drones at a very fast pace. We

67
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: have now taken out the factories that build them, so

68
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: they can't keep building. We've taken away seventy five percent

69
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: of their defensive capabilities. Two days ago, we took out

70
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: fifty percent of their defense and oh, actually offensive capabilities.

71
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: We've taken away seventy five percent of their offensive capabilities.

72
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: Defense is gone. Seventy five percent of their offensive capabilities gone.

73
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: Now when they fire those missiles, the reason one can

74
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: get through and hit Tel Aviv is they can send

75
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: so many at the same time. Now, what they want

76
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: to do when they send a salvo of missiles, to

77
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: send fifty fifty and one salvo. It's hard for that

78
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: iron dome to stop. Fifty at once. They were down

79
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: to thirty, and even at thirty one could get through.

80
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: So thirty at once it's very hard to stop. We've

81
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: taken out so much of their offensive capability. They're now

82
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: down to only two or three. That's all they can

83
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 2: send in one salvo. Two or three missiles, which is

84
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 2: pretty harmless. The drones are being taken down, they do

85
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: a little damage. Those are a little harder to take out.

86
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: But we're getting it done. And as the Pentagon points out,

87
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: we've lost six six of our military and we owe

88
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: it to them finished the job. It was a very

89
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: very very planned attack all of this. That's why it's

90
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: gone so well. That's they knew exactly what to hit.

91
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: The Israeli Air Force just struck a top Iranian meeting.

92
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: You know, at the beginning, they took out all of

93
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: Tehran's senior clerics. They did it again yesterday, hit another

94
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: group of senior clerics. In fact, the group that was

95
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: there to select a replacement for the Aetola senior officials.

96
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: They were there to do the vote and who to

97
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: replace the Ietola. Israel hit that building and took them out.

98
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: They called it the Assembly of Experts. It's a body

99
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: of eighty eight members who got together to do this voting.

100
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: The strike took them all out and wiped out the

101
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: building also in Iran. You know, you forget so busy

102
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 2: with all these other issues, the things Schumer just rattled off.

103
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: You forget the brutal oppression of women and other minorities.

104
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 2: In Iran, women not allowed to do anything. You have

105
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: to keep covered up at all times. Well, women were

106
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: seen yesterday in Iran taking off their hijabs and dancing

107
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: openly in the street. They would have been killed for

108
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: that a week ago, but now they're doing it. It's

109
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: a great thing to see. The Iatola's son, the son

110
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: of the Ayahtola, was selected to how to replace him.

111
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 2: He's fifty six. His name is Mujtaba ka Kama Nani.

112
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: He's the son of the Ayatola. They have selected him

113
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: to be the new leader. I would imagine his insurance

114
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: company immediately cancel his policy. How long would you give

115
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: this guy to live he's the new leader. I would

116
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: say one week tops that this guy will be alive.

117
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: He's known as being a staunch advocate of his father's lunatic,

118
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 2: hardline stuff. He has close ties to Iran's notoriously brutal

119
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,039
Speaker 2: Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Now, the thing is he had no

120
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: official role in his father's regime, but he was still

121
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 2: sanctioned by the US in twenty nineteen. The appointment is

122
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: actually unexpected. Again, he had no role. It's like Michael Corleon,

123
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: who was not part of the stuff, all of a

124
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: sudden getting the leadership. And in Iran, they've always looked

125
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: down on family succession. These Ayah Toolus. It's one thing

126
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: they were against, is this family succession, because that's what

127
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: happened with the Shaw of Iran and all that, and

128
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: that was the monarchy they toppled. Democrats are trying to

129
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: attack this thing like crazy, and they don't know what

130
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: to do, so they're actually resorting to this old thing

131
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: from one hundred years ago where they do this you

132
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: never served, you never served. For instance, that guy that

133
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: writes south Park that crazy whack up now demanding Baron

134
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: Trump be drafted to war. This is the They did

135
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: this in the Gulf War. Remember, this is like from

136
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: twenty years ago. If you didn't serve, you're not allowed

137
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: to go to war. And if you go to war,

138
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: you better have your family. It's ridiculous. First of all,

139
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: we don't have a draft anymore. Second of all, if

140
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: you talk to Pentagon officials from any of the last

141
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: four administrations, they'll tell you they do not want to

142
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: draft anybody. It's not like the old days. You know, Vietnam,

143
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: you were just looking for infantry guys to march around

144
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: with rifles. Today's armed forces are so high tech, so computerized,

145
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: that draftees are useless. You need people to go through

146
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: like a year or two of training. Drafting people doesn't

147
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: work anymore. That's why they don't do it. But you

148
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: got this stuff going on. Rachel Maddow last night going

149
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: after Trump for not serving. He didn't serve, called him

150
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: a bone spurs. Remember that was his thing about not serving,

151
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: that he had bone spurs. You know, for four years

152
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 2: we had President Joe Biden, who never served, who claimed

153
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: he had asthma and that's why he couldn't serve. If

154
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: you read his five hundred page biography of his old life,

155
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: there's not a word in there about asthma. Suddenly, when

156
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: it was draft time he had asthma. Joe Biden got

157
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: I think eight student defirm. It's more than Trump. But

158
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: they've gone in the attic and gotten this old old

159
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: argument out of the closet about he didn't serve, he

160
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: didn't serve. Remember the great election of two thousand and four,

161
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: it was John Kerry against George Bush, and Carrie had

162
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: been in the military. He had been in Vietnam, so

163
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: he used that as his campaign I served, he didn't serve.

164
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 2: I served. But as it got to close to the

165
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: election and people start to look at this as a

166
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: wit aim it. Carrie served twenty six years ago. Thirty

167
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: years ago, he was in the thirty years ago, he

168
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: was in the army or the navy for a couple

169
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: of months, and he commanded a boat with eight people

170
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: on it. And that's a service thirty years ago. And

171
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: then I looked at Bush. The guy's been the commander

172
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: in chief of the entire US military for the last

173
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: four years. I think that counts as more service than Carrie.

174
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: President Trump spoke yesterday about the war.

175
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 4: They no longer have air protection, they no longer have

176
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 4: any detection facilities at all left, and so they're gonna

177
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 4: they're going to be in for a lot of hurt.

178
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Their air force is gone, their navy is completely gone.

179
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 4: Most of the people we had in mind are dead.

180
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 5: So you know, we had some in mind from that.

181
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 4: Group that is is dead, and now we have another group.

182
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: They may be dead also based on reports. So I

183
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 4: guess you have a third wave coming in.

184
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, now who's going to take over.

185
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: With Amazingly, they're hitting countries that were.

186
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: No actually, and this was a big mistake from Iran.

187
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: From the beginning, they started attacking everybody in the Middle East,

188
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: Dubai and Saudi Arabia, these are their only possible allies

189
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: them immediately by attacking them.

190
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 4: Amazingly, they're hitting countries that were you know, let's call

191
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 4: them neutral, right, they lived together for.

192
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: A long time.

193
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: They I think they were surprised. I was surprised, I think.

194
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 5: And now those countries are all fighting against them, and

195
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 5: fighting strongly against them. Yeah, we were having negotiations with

196
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 5: these lunatics, and it was my opinion that they were

197
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 5: going to attack first. They were going to attack if

198
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 5: we didn't do it, they were going to attack first.

199
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 5: I fell strongly about that.

200
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 2: The keyword there is lunatics. You got to remember they

201
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 2: were a bunch of lunatics. The Ayatola a lunatic, his

202
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: son a lunatic. All those people run things a lunatic.

203
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: Now this was pretty interesting. He asked them, well, what

204
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: act this is all over? It'll be over soon. What's

205
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 2: the worst possible outcome?

206
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: I guess the worst case would be we do this

207
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 4: and then somebody takes over. Who's as bad as the

208
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 4: previous person, Right, that could happen.

209
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 5: We don't want that to happen.

210
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a pretty honest answer. Now you got to remember,

211
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: you know, Democrats do what they always do. If a

212
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: Republican does a bombing thing, they all start to yell

213
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: it's a violation, it's illegal. You violated this, You violated that.

214
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,599
Speaker 2: You got to get the war powers that. None of

215
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: this is true legally, constitutionally, none of that's true. It's

216
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: just nonsense. You got to remember Barack Obama was twenty eleven,

217
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: did the same thing in Libya. He wanted to take

218
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: out Kadafi. Rebels were rising up. We wanted to help

219
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 2: the rebels. So Obama launched the same sort of attack

220
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 2: bombing Libya. Every Democrat immediately put out a statement, thank

221
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: God for his device decisive action. Look at how great

222
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: he is. Decisive, he's acting, Look at him protecting the free.

223
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: There's just exact opposite of today. That's one thing about

224
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: these democrats they have they have no shame. They could

225
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: tell you one thing an hour later, if Trump does it,

226
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 2: they'll tell you how awful it is. It's the most

227
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: disgusting thing in the world. Yeah, but you were just

228
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: for it. For the last ten years. They couldn't care less.

229
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: They'll say anything everything Trump does, closing the border, deporting illegals,

230
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: getting rid of the show. This is everything the Democrats

231
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 2: have been promising to do for thirty years. All they

232
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: did was promise this stuff, and they're furious that somebody

233
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 2: actually did it now for two reasons, One because it's

234
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: Trump and they hate him. And two, if you get this,

235
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: if they don't have a campaign issue anymore. Now, Hey,

236
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: speaking of campaigns, Texas, Jasmine Crockett lost lost badly in

237
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: the runoff. There new guy, this is the new hot

238
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: shot Democrat, Tall Rico. He's only thirty six, wiped out

239
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: Jasmine crocket and a typical Democrat. You know, if you

240
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: say the election was rigged, you should immediately be arrested

241
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: and go to jail, just like Trump. Now she's saying

242
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 2: the election was rigged. It was rigged. However, she was

243
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: crying voter suppression. There was a court ruling about keeping

244
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: the polls open a little later voter suppression or closing

245
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 2: the polls early voter suppression. Although everybody's looking at the

246
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: number she got wiped out by a huge amount. There's

247
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: no amount of suppression or tamper, and there's no amount

248
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: that could have made up this gap. She was just

249
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: completely wiped out. Now the thing is Tall Rico. This

250
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: is the new hotshot Democrat. Remember this is the guy

251
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 2: Colbert wanted to have on and the Democrat said, you

252
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: you gotta have both on. You can't have just one on.

253
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: So Tall Rico one big with Hispanics. That's a big

254
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: thing is Democrats had completely lost Hispanic voters. So in

255
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: the general election. This is encouraging Democrats because he did

256
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: so well with Hispanics. Maybe maybe he's got a shot

257
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: in Texas. Anyway, we'll get back to the war, We'll

258
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: get to Epstein, We'll get to congestion pricing. Hey, big

00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: actually the oldest talk radio station in America. Actually talk

281
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: radio started here. This is the station that invented and

282
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: originated talk radio one hundred it's one hundred and three

283
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: hundred and four years ago, I think one hundred and

284
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: four years ago. One hundred and four years ago invented

285
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: talk radio here. Then in the nineteen forties, one of

286
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: the talk show hosts, a young guy named Barry Gray.

287
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: Nobody had ever done this for it before he put

288
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: a phone call on the area. It was very primitive

289
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: back then you almost had to hold the phone up

290
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: to the microphone you could barely hear the caller. But

291
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: he was the first one to put a caller on

292
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: the air, and I think it was nineteen forty seven,

293
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: so everything was invented here at wor Hey. We'll take

294

00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,080

Speaker 2: lasting too long. But thanks for calling. Glad you're happy

341
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: Curtis is coming. Hey, speaking a Wiener Anthony Wiener, he

342
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 2: was on the view acting like he wants to make

343
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: a comeback. Anthony Wiener, the whack job pervert was on

344
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: the view, and it looked like to me, it looked

345
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: like he's getting ready to run for something. Hey, remember,

346
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: Wiener is like a cross between Bill de Blasio and

347
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein, like a really left wing horrible, terrible, terrible

348
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: left wing kook politician and a total underage women pervert

349
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: kind of guy. Now, they did confront him about his past.

350
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 2: He went on with this whole speech about it was

351
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: because of addiction and he's a changed man, and he

352
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: was asking New Yorker's trust him at the ballot box,

353
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: saying he's taken accountability and moved on. So just a warning,

354
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: just a warning, this creepy pervert maybe trying to make

355
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: a comeback. Let's go to Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart,

356
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: how you doing.

357
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 8: Hey, Mark, carry you. I just want to mention that

358
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 8: Reagan hit Quadaffi in nineteen eighty six after that nightclub bombing. Yeah,

359
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 8: and after that, Kudaffi had been very quiet, very silent.

360
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 8: He wasn't really a threat after that. And when Obama

361
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 8: hit him and basically killed him, the Democrats didn't say anything.

362
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 8: But Kadaffi had had gone underground. He was afraid of

363
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 8: America after that, So so they hit on Kadaffi by

364
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 8: Obama really to me was kind of senseless.

365
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

366
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 8: And the other thing I want to mention was John

367
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 8: Kerry was actually in the service like fifty seven years ago.

368
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 8: Vietnam ended April.

369
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: Thirtieth, ve okay, but when he ran it was two

370
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 2: thousand and four, so that would have been yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

371
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 8: And his third Purple Heart got him out of Vietnam,

372
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 8: and that one as Vietnam vets pretty much know that

373
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 8: he did that to himself to get him out of there.

374
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 2: Well, it's the great John McCain said, Kerrie got three

375
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 2: purple hearts without ever spending a single minute in sick base.

376
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 8: Well that was not a John McCain fan, but.

377
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: That is actually yeah, McCain said.

378
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 8: He supposedly yeah, well, he supposedly said threw his medals

379
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 8: over the White House fence and we can't stand him

380
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 8: as much as we can't stand Hanoi. Jane.

381
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Stuart, thanks for call. Yeah, McCain said,

382
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: to carry was obviously just a metal chaser. And the

383
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: reason why that third one, when you got three, you

384
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: got to you got to go home. Let's go to

385
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: Jerry and Greenwich. Jerry, how you doing.

00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 9: millions of a Medican life saved in New York to Washington, Philadelphia, Boster.

00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 9: out of the earth.

393
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 2: No, yeah, that's why they got That's why Schumer got

394
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 2: so mad. You know, listen, this could be a big

395
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: thing politically. It could be great for Trump. It could

396
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: make them look good. That's why Schumer gets so upset.

397
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: They don't want Trump to succeed on anything. Ever, let's

398

422
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: mean anything to be on the View anymore. It doesn't

423
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,439

444
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: is underway. Yes, hey, let me ask you about this

445
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: crazy Chuck Schumer. Yesterday he said Trump and his endless war?

446
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: Can you really say endless war on day four?

447
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 11: Just sos they have their own definition of the calendar. Now,

448
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 11: the Republicans are having great glee and digging up that

449
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 11: twenty eleven thing from Nancy Pelosi when Barack Obama bombed

450
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 11: Libya and the reporter asked her, does that mean that

451
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 11: Congress doesn't need to approve this? And she said, that's right,

452
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 11: Congress doesn't need to approve it. Then they played it

453
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 11: for the Democrat leader yesterday and he just could smirk

454
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 11: and say, the circumstances are different. What a profound observation. Yes,

455
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 11: Libya is not your ant. Oh boy, he learned his

456
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 11: geography well, so, yes, four days is a forever war

457
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 11: ten years in nost Okay.

458
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: Now, what about all the all the media Democrats are

459
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: telling you her, Dana, this is it. Gas prices, oil prices,

460
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 2: energy will go crazy. We're going to be in terrible

461
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: trouble of the economy as a result. What's the truth.

462
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 11: The truth is, you could get a spike, but we've

463
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 11: had oil spikes bigger than the ones we've experienced now,

464
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 11: and the markets sort of know, which is why the

465
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 11: stock market always wobbly when you have these uncertainties, but

466
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 11: still holding up fairly well. Knows that won the war.

467
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 11: This war is not forever. It's a matter of weeks,

468
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 11: not years, and that disruptions there may be straight of Hormuz.

469
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 11: Who knows what will happen there, especially with insurance rates,

470
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 11: but these are temporary. These are not permanent. And the

471
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 11: real danger is not what's going to happen in the

472
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 11: next four or five weeks, that's going to be dicey,

473
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 11: but what the Federal Reserve might do, thinking oh, this

474
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 11: is going to raise the inflation rate of inflation and

475
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 11: do something dumb like not cut interest rates. So that's

476
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 11: that's what I worry about, is misinterpreting what's happening. This

477
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 11: war will not last more than four weeks, five weeks,

478
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 11: six weeks. And by the way, there's growing pressure not

479
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 11: to send US troops in, but to start arming militias

480
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 11: of Iranians so they can deal with this inside and

481
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 11: by bombing the police and the military, these CITs, armed

482
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 11: citizens can take over. You know, we had a citizen's

483
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 11: army in our revolution. These things can work.

484
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point. So Hey, these New York politicians, especially

485
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: the Assembly, now they're talking about a twenty five percent

486
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: surcharged tax on corporations and your mom, Donnie, was a

487
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 2: tax on corporations increase. Isn't that the same thing as

488
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: a tariff? I thought they hate tariffs. Well, it's a

489
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: matter what you call it, and.

490
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 11: So, but it is. It is a tax, and maybe

491
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 11: they should call it a tariff center But anyway, it's

492
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,239
Speaker 11: a dumb thing going to hurt the economy of a

493
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 11: New York economy. They're already sneaking in things like vastly

494
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 11: increasing their pension costs and the like.

495
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: And as we.

496
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 11: All know, New York City's budget alone, the city's budget

497
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 11: alone is bigger than the state of Florida. Even though

498
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 11: Florida has almost three times as many people.

499
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: As New York.

500
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 11: Florida gets by with a smaller budget than New York City.

501
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 11: And last I look, we don't have we're actually wandering

502
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 11: around Florida the way they do in New York City,

503
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 11: and people seem to be doing all right. We don't

504
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 11: have people dying in the streets or anything like that.

505
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 11: So yes, it's just another self destructive move. And I

506
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 11: just hope with this year's election that we finally get

507
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 11: a governor who realizes you want to have businesses grow,

508
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 11: not destroyed.

509
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me ask you an inflation question. Maybe it's

510
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: a stupid question, but you get inflation, the prices go up,

511
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: and then if you solve the problem, you stop the inflation.

512
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: But you never get the prices to go down.

513
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 11: Correct, Well, you can get when courts go up, Yeah,

514
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 11: they get embedded. But with the spikes that we see,

515
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 11: the spikes that we see now in oil, that is

516
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 11: very though. Gasoline prices and certain food prices are very sensitive,

517
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 11: so they can go up, but we also know they

518
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 11: can go down. Going back to a year, you know,

519
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 11: centuries ago and Joe Biden was allegedly president, we all

520
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 11: know what happened to gas prices and even though they're

521
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 11: spiking now, still way below than when Donald Trump took

522
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 11: office for a second term. So these things will sort

523
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 11: themselves out, and the key thing is not to panic.

524
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 11: See this thing through and the oil price the markets

525
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 11: will readjust and remember We're a big oil producer, We're

526
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 11: a big natural gas producer. So it's Venezuela and so

527
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 11: and Iran when it gets a new government, which eventually

528
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 11: will is also a major oil producer. And when the

529
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 11: things that a new Iranian government is not going to

530
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 11: do is so discounted oil to a country called China.

531
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: Now, if you get the right government there, you could

532
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 2: really increase the flow of oil we have. That would

533
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: really bring the prices down. But what about our relationship

534
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: with Saudi Do you think we have to make some

535
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: kind of agreement with them not to drop the price

536
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: too much.

537
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 11: Well, I think the Saudis wants stability and one of

538
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 11: the things that they've worked on is is to make

539
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 11: sure oil didn't spike. And also they want stability, so

540
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 11: they don't want it to go too low, but they

541
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 11: don't want it to go too high because then they

542
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 11: know that leads to all sorts of cheating and bring

543
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 11: a new supply on. So they want control. They don't

544
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 11: have the kind of control they had in the past by.

545
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 2: A long shot.

546
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 11: But the thing is in terms of the war, and

547
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 11: I think the markets recognize this. Again, these are temporary disruptions,

548
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 11: These are not four year, six year disruptions. These are

549
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 11: four weeks, six weeks, pick a number, but they're not

550
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 11: forever disruptions.

551
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, let me ask you one more question AI.

552
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: Five years from now, how are we going to feel

553
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: about AI? A We're going to think it's a wonderful

554
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: thing and it worked out perfectly. Or are we going

555
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: to be furious that hundreds of tens of millions of

556
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 2: people got laid off?

557
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 11: Well, I think we're well with AI. It's like anything

558
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 11: can be used for good or for evil. But I

559
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 11: think if we have the right kind of economy, I e.

560
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 11: Continue to reduce regulations in the like I hope President

561
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 11: Trump goes for another tax cut and so you get

562
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 11: a booming economy. We'll cope with the disruptions of AI.

563
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 11: You know, I live through it in the print industry.

564
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 11: You know, print industry is upended in the nineteen nineties

565
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 11: by the Internet and so huge adjustments there. But in

566
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 11: a free econom me, you go with it and we

567
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 11: all end up more prosperous. And I think I've mentioned

568
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 11: that with AI. Whoever invented that name artificial intelligence should

569
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 11: be shunned. We don't call we don't call cars artificial horses,

570
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 11: and we don't call airplanes artificial birds. My friend Mark

571
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 11: Mills made that observation. And by the way, and in

572
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 11: closing on that, over two hundred and twenty years ago,

573
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 11: there was great fears of this thing called electricity, and

574
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 11: you had medical students taking cadavers and you know, giving

575
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 11: them jolts of electricity and the bodies bounced around. Everyone's wondering,

576
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 11: good lord, can we create life with electricity jolts? That's

577
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 11: how we got the novel Frankenstein. Wow, well we didn't

578
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 11: get we didn't get we didn't get the body. The

579
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 11: Frankenstein's coming out of the labs. We've got great entertainments.

580
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 11: So yes, with any with humans, nothing is perfect. But

581
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 11: I think AI one of the big things in AI,

582
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 11: by the way, is going to be And then the

583
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 11: coming years, faster approval development approval of new medicines and

584
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 11: their new medical devices instead of ten or twelve years,

585
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 11: will be able to eventually do it in ten or

586
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 11: twelve months.

587
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: That'll be a great thing. Wow, that's an amazing point.

588
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: People were afraid of electricity when came along. Well, ste
