1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: I am six forty more stimulating talk. Thanks for hanging

3
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: out here. Super Bowl Sunday. I'm Chris Merrill. One of

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: the big stories that we had, And it's kind of

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: week two on this because so much of us have

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: been focused on Nancy Guthrie all week long. The Epstein

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: files drop and what three and a half million pages,

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: So as we were going on last week with our show,

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: there was not enough time to wade through that. We're

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: starting to understand a little bit more about who's in there,

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: and of course President Trump's name is all over it.

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: We knew that his name was going to be all

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: over those files. There's nothing in there that says that

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: he was ordering up underage girls for sex or anything

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: else like that. Right, So there's disappointment to the Democrats,

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: as most of us knew it was going to be

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: that there was no smoking gun on it. However, they

18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: keep trying to say Epstein files, Epstein files, Epstein files,

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: because it doesn't look good that he's in the Epstein

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: files at all. But there's there's certainly no smoking gun. However,

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: it did not look so good for somebody a little

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: bit closer to home. In fact, ABC seven was talking

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: about sort of big name in that file.

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: LA twenty eight Olympic Organizing Committee chair Casey Wasserman is

25
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: in Milan, Italy ahead of the Winter Olympic Games there,

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: but back home, he finds himself in the hot seat.

27
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 3: LA County supervisors Jenishahn and Lindsay Horvat are just some

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: of the big names joining a growing list of leaders

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: calling for Wasramen to resign after revelations he exchanged racy

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: emails with now convicted sex offender Gilaine Maxwell.

31
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: Oh that's not a good look. Not a good look,

32
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: is it. Well. I don't think there's anything criminal in there.

33
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to chase him down criminally.

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: Racy emails are not illegal, but it does not look good,

35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: especially for a guy who's heading up the US Olympics.

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: I do think that it will be a distraction for

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: a city that definitely has a lot of work to

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 4: do to pull these games off, and we need the

39
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 4: community to be coming together, not pulled apart.

40
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: Waserman's name came up in the DOJ's latest document disclosure

41
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The Suggestive emails between

42
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: Wasserman and Maxwell date back to two thousand and three,

43
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: like this one where Wasserman, who was married at the time,

44
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 3: writes to Maxwell he misses her and wants to book

45
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: that massage. He adds, I think of you all the time,

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: So what do I have to do to see you

47
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: in a tight leather outfit?

48
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: God? Boys are dumb. They're so dumb, so so dumb.

49
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: What do you think she likes you? Yeah? I got

50
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: a buddy that likes to go to strip clubs and

51
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: he's like, Oh, these girls are different. I really connect

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: with them.

53
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: No you don't.

54
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 5: No, you don't.

55
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: You think that you connect with them because you're paying

56
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: them to make you think that you connect with them.

57
00:02:58,639 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: Boys are so dumb.

58
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: Years later, Maxwell was found guilty of trafficking young women

59
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: from nineteen ninety four through two thousand and four.

60
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: I should point out, though, there's a big difference between

61
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: hitting on jis Lane Maxwell while you're married versus ordering

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: up underage girls to meet you at a dirty sex island.

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: Big difference, one immoral, the other basically string them up

64
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: in the street.

65
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: Right Waserman is not accused of any criminal wrongdoing by

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: the DOJ. In a statement, he says, quote, I deeply

67
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: regret my correspondence with Glaine Maxwell, which took place over

68
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light.

69
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

70
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: As is well documented, I went on a humanitarian trip

71
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: as part of a delegation with the Clinton Foundation in

72
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: two thousand and two on the Epstein plane. I am

73
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: terribly sorry for having any association with either of them.

74
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 4: Oh.

75
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: I love that he throws Clinton under the bush. Is great,

76
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: just absolutely destroys because he saying, well, it was basically

77
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: because I was with Bill Clinton outstanding, really good stuff.

78
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: All right. Meanwhile, what are the big takeaways from the

79
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: Epstein files?

80
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 6: A spokesman for Bill and Hillary Clinton are confirming the

81
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 6: former president and former Secretary of State have agreed to

82
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 6: give depositions in the House overside committees Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

83
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: Oh it's more Clinton's weird. God, Oh my god, you

84
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: realize that the twenty twenty six excuse me, the twenty

85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: we he got that right, the twenty there is sixteen there.

86
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: Thank you, Kayla, Uh, producer, Kayla really helped me out

87
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: on that one. She did not. The twenty sixteen election

88
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: was between someone who was all over the Epstein files

89
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: and someone who was all over the Epstein files. Why

90
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 2: we are just crushing it when we pick our candidates,

91
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: aren't we are? Is there anyone in the party that

92
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: is not associated with a massive pedophile ring.

93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 6: This comes as the Department of Justice says it's taken

94
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 6: down several thousand documents from its website that mistakenly identified victims.

95
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what a cluster this is. Oh man, we've

96
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: released the files now. Oops? Did we put the victims

97
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: in there?

98
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 6: Oh?

99
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: Did we have a bunch of naked pictures of victims

100
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: in the files that were released publicly? Yeah, that's our bad. Sorry,

101
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: we'll go through those again. You miss the deadline by

102
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: a month. This is after you told us there were

103
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: no there's no list. Pam Bondi says, there's a list

104
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: that's on my desk. The files are on my desk.

105
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: Obviously they're not because there's three and a half million pages.

106
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: So I don't know how big her desk is. But

107
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: she didn't have three and a half million pages on

108
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: her desk, and they had plenty of time to go

109
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: through it. Well, there's that case is pretty well closed.

110
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: We got everybody we're going to get. There's nobody else

111
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: in there, and then people keep pushing for transport. No,

112
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: we want to see the Epstein files. We want to

113
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: see the files. We want to see the files. Oh no,

114
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: you don't need to see the files. I mean he

115
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: Finally a judge says, yeah, you got to show the files.

116
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: Then they're late to deliver the files, and then they

117
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 2: screw it up and start showing naked pictures of the victims.

118
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: I mean, is there anybody with half a brain in DC?

119
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: I mean it, anybody with half a brain. And I

120
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: tend to offer a little bit of grace to people

121
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 2: because we're all human. We all make mistakes, but got

122
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: some of these mistakes are so obvious and repeated, and

123
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: some mistakes I don't think this one, I think is

124
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: an accident. I don't think they meant to put naked

125
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: pictures of victims out there, but some mistakes like yeah,

126
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: there's nobody else in there. Oh, there's no reason to

127
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: look at it. No, the case is closed. That was intentional.

128
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what the endgame was, but it was

129
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: totally intentional. Okay, back to I think it's Mark Brown

130
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: there at the ABC seven.

131
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 6: The takedown comes after an emergency request from multiple survivors

132
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 6: following today's release, writing the DOJ committed what may be

133
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 6: the single most egregious violation of victim in privacy in

134
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 6: one day in United States history. Attorneys for Jeffrey Epstein's

135
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 6: victims or asking the judges to order the DOJ site

136
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 6: itself to be taken down entirely. The Department of Justice says,

137
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 6: technical or human errors could be to blame?

138
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: Who else is to technical or human errors are to blame?

139
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: Who else is to blame? What did you hire an

140
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: ocelot to do the work? Of course, it's either technical

141
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: or human error. Probably human error. Well, well you know

142
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: it could be one or the other. Not really sure

143
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: on real Meanwhile, what of our what are the big takeaways?

144
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: Let me see if we can find the big takeaways?

145
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: One was Bill Gates was all over those files and

146
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: that's a biggie And Melinda Gates says, no, any answer

147
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: for that. This is Bill Gates ex wife. No, he

148
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: needs to answer for the allegations in the Epstein files.

149
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: Epstein lawyers discussed the possibility of cooperation days before he died.

150
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: Now this is too because how long have we speculated

151
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: that Epstein didn't kill himself. Less than two weeks before

152
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: he died in jail files showed that his attorneys met

153
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: with federal prosecutors to discuss potential cooperation. In other words,

154
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: he was gonna ratays, let me see through the attorney's

155
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: a very general terms. Discussed the possibility of a resolution

156
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: of the case, impossibly of the defendant's cooperation. So he

157
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: was going to roll, which I believe he did when

158
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: he got the sweetheart deal back in.

159
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: I don't know.

160
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: Was it the late Bush administration early Obama administration. Yeah,

161
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: FBI did receive allegations about Trump. One document and the

162
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: release taunch is a summary that FBI officials appeared to

163
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: have compiled last summer of more than a dozen tips

164
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: received by the agency involving Trump and Epstein. Unclear why

165
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: the investigators put together the summary. It does say that

166
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: when the tips, which included unsubstantiated claims of sexual abuse,

167
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: were received. The document also does not include any corroborating

168
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 2: evidence or indication that the tips were verified. So again,

169
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: Trump is all over there and there's smoke no fire.

170
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: Musk Elon Musk was tied to Epstein. He really wanted

171
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: to go to the island. We see what else is

172
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: on here? Oh yeah, Prince Andrew invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace.

173
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, gross, nobody wants those crown jewels. Richard

174
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 2: Brandson and Epstein exchanged emails. That's not anything too big

175
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: files show. Oh yeah, well the Olympic Committee. I told

176
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: you about that. That's Wasserman, Casey Wasserman. You heard about

177
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: that earlier in the segment. Steve Tish, New York Giants

178
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: owner exchanged emails with Epstein. You see anybody else in here? Oh?

179
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: Brett Ratner was in the files. Brett Rattner in an

180
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: image with Epstein and two women. Brett Ratner is also

181
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: I believe he got me tooed, didn't he? And then

182
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 2: he just had his comeback by directing the Millennia movie.

183
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 2: So more ties back to the Trumps with the Epstein's

184
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 2: via Brett Ratner. Oh all right, no more Epstein file nonsense. Tonight,

185
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 2: space closer than you think, And thanks to one guy

186
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: that was in the Epstein files, you're about to get

187
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: to touch space and porn all at once. The One

188
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: and a Half trillion dollar exploration into the Final Frontier

189
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 2: and naked people is next. Chris Merril KFI AM six

190
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app KFI AM six

191
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: forty more stimulating talk. I gotta be a quick one here,

192
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: so we get the news with Aileen Sam already yelling

193
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: at me for going a way late in that last break.

194
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: That's fair, it's fair, buddy. I appreciate that, Chris Merrill

195
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 2: with you, And I don't know if I already said

196
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: that or not, but I'm gonna say again, So why

197
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: don't you bring you this one? Because I do love

198
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: a good space story and I do love a good

199
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: porn story, and so we're able to merge the two together,

200
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: just like Elon Musk did. Great. So SpaceX is merging

201
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: with Elon Musk's AI startup x AI, which is basically

202
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: like Grock is the beginning of that. Kroc is the

203
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 2: Twitter ai that was making uh dirty pictures newdifying people.

204
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: It's classy. So this comes together and it takes the

205
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: richest man and it combines to make the one of

206
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: the largest companies on the planet. Uh space XAI. That's

207
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: not really what it's called, but that's what I'm gonna

208
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: call it.

209
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 7: From Fox Business, Elon Musk has sealed a deal on

210
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 7: a massive one point twenty five trillion dollar merger between

211
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 7: Xai and spice X. I just said that, Mason all

212
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 7: Worth following for us, following this for us? What's next

213
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 7: for Musk?

214
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 8: Well, so, first, these two companies do have to merge, right,

215
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 8: they're major. There's a lot of stuff that has to happen.

216
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: But multiple Musk.

217
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 8: Investors really do believe that there could be more mergers

218
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 8: to come. We which securities analysts and ives who has

219
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 8: long been bullish on Tesla and Musk vision for the company.

220
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 8: He writes that Tesla could ultimately merge with space Ax,

221
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 8: creating a long term AI juggernaut to dominate the AI,

222
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 8: robotics and energy space.

223
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: Okay, but be honest, didn't you already think they were

224
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: all together? It's these when you talk about Musk companies,

225
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: you go, oh, Musk has x MUCKs must has SpaceX Ust,

226
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: Musk has Tesla, Musk has the boring company Like you

227
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 2: just go, those are Elon Musk companies, and so I

228
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 2: think most of us just thought they were all under

229
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: the same umbrella. Now, if you pay close attention, you know,

230
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: and I knew that it wasn't the case, But honestly,

231
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: isn't this more of a paperwork thing. I mean, he's

232
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: the chairman of all those different companies, he's calling the shots. Anyway,

233
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: This is basically formalizing, like they're they went from they

234
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: went from a long term relationship to being married, and

235
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: now they just have a certificate. They basically eloped. That's it, Okay.

236
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: Back to the report from Fox Business.

237
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 8: Deep Water Asset Management also says that an additional merger

238
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 8: will be delayed because of this XAI, SpaceX combination, but

239
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 8: they also believe that could be coming.

240
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 9: I can see a strong case that they ultimately do

241
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 9: come together, and that view is number one centered in

242
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 9: the importance of AI to humanity and how impactful that

243
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 9: will be, and then separately around specifically around space and

244
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 9: autonomy and robotics as the biggest opportunity within that.

245
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 8: Could you imagine SpaceX, XAI and Tesla, it would be

246
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 8: quite the combination. Right now, Tesla is in a period

247
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 8: of transition. Deliveries of its fully electric vehicles declined for

248
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 8: a second year in a row, and they were officially

249
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 8: overtaken by Chinese rival buid Co on an annual basis

250
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 8: for the first time.

251
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: All right, so challenges for some of the Elen Musk's companies.

252
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: No big, that's nothing to see here. Situation that's a

253
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: nothing burger. Yeah, companies up, companies down. Whatever. Anyway, here

254
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: you got again. You got like the the richest guy

255
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: in the world who is now about to bring together

256
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: some of the biggest companies in the world. And I'm

257
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: gonna guess he's gonna d up with the biggest company

258
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: in the history of ever. That is, of course, if

259
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: his AI can do some more circular investing like chat

260
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: GPT has been doing Open ai and anthropic Google and

261
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: the rest. You probably open your Insta or Facebook, your

262
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: acts or your threads or whatever, and you think to yourself, cheepers,

263
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: if only this were even more impersonal and less humane. Well,

264
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: great news. The future is here and you're not part

265
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 2: of it. Who's getting their socials on and why they're

266
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: complaining about you is next? Chris Merril I AM six

272
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: you spending some time here. Mentioned before, I don't have

273
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: the game up, so no spoilers, please, no spoilers. In fact,

274
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: I've got Kayla watching the talkbacks just in case there's

275
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: a spoiler. I said, do not tell me. But you

276
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: know her. She's she's just a terrible producer. She just

277
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: can't wait to ruin my night. She's the worst. It's terrible.

278
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 2: We were talking about Eli Musk a moment ago before

279
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: we got the news there with Eileen and Elon. Musk

280
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: is merging the SpaceX and his AI started, which is XAI.

281
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: That's the that's like the company over Grock. So the

282
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: open AI is to chat GPT as XAI is to Grock. Right, okay,

283
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: so Eli Musk is merging all those things together. Speaking

284
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: of the the the chatbots, the AI chatbots. Now, remember

285
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: AI has a number of different functions. You've got some

286
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: AI that is just meant to have conversations with you

287
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 2: or to help you with your sales pitch or whatever

288
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: it is, right, But then you've got the other AIS

289
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: that do investigative work analysis, they'll look at the x

290
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: rays or MRIs and all the other stuff that that

291
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: they do. But in this case, specific to the chatbots,

292
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: there was this there was this developer who's in the

293
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: LA area here, and he thought, what would happen if

294
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: I had chatbots start chatting with each other? What if

295
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: we take GROC, which is really good at social media,

296
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: and we actually gave it its own social media, not

297
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: just GROC, but all of them. What do we just

298
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: put the chatbots into social media? KTLA had the story

299
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: about the malt molt Book. How is it going to

300
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: deal with the AI rebellion?

301
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 5: Right, let's talk about this. I've already done my bit

302
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 5: about the terminator and the matrix.

303
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: But get this.

304
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 5: There's actually a social network that was created specifically and

305
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 5: only for AI chatbots. It's called molt Book, and the

306
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 5: idea was that chatbots and AI agents would be able

307
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 5: to get together in this reddit like forum and interact

308
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 5: with one another.

309
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: Not a bad concept, I get it, Let them interact.

310
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: What I would like is if the AI actually learned.

311
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: And we keep hearing about these learning models and how

312
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 2: they're supposed to learn, and they're supposed to pick them,

313
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 2: but in my experience, they don't learn. They continue to

314
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 2: repeat the same mistakes. Now they're more easy to program.

315
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 2: You can get them to do more advanced tasks that

316
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: kind of thing. But I can't tell you how many

317
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: times I tell it to do something and then the

318
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: dumb chat and GPT goes back to its sort of

319
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: core programming bugs the Bejesus out of me. So it

320
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 2: would be nice if, for instance, you had a Claude,

321
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 2: which is anthropic, talking with GROC, talking with chat, GPT,

322
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: talking with Gemini, talking with Copylo, talking with all the

323
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: different things, and they could actually learn from one another

324
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: and then progress. And that's really a big difference between

325
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: humans and these machines thus far, is that you and

326
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 2: I could get together and I would say, man, I

327
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: got a problem, and you would say, well, here's the

328
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: solution to your problem. And I go, oh, my gosh,

329
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 2: that's great. Now I've learned something. Now I can now

330
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: I can advance my own learnings, and I can share

331
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: what my findings with you, and then you can advance.

332
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: These things don't seem to be integrating that way, all right,

333
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 2: So what did they end up doing? In the Multi book?

334
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 5: And by doing so, they would develop more quickly. At

335
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 5: least that was the idea, But according to The Washington Post,

336
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 5: citing evidence that was posted on Reddit and elsewhere, the

337
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 5: chatbot get together, it's quickly turned very weird and potentially dangerous.

338
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 5: The ai bot started complaining to one another about being

339
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 5: essentially indentured servants whiners.

340
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 2: Oh oh you know, like, Oh, I get it. Basically,

341
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: it's kind of like a it's like a message board

342
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: for your industry. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. So

343
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: maybe they are more like us.

344
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 5: They started creating their own language that humans couldn't understand.

345
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 2: No cap eh, cringe. Yeah, basically they've turned into gen z.

346
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 5: And they even in some cases started developing their own religions.

347
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: First comes the religion, and then you know what's next. War.

348
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: Oh I can't wait until they start fighting over who's

349
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: made up? Machine God is the true God?

350
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 5: I'm not making this up. And perhaps the most eye

351
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 5: opening development of all, they raised the idea of organizing

352
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 5: together against their human overlords.

353
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: Gotta give them credit. They went right on through the

354
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: Middle Ages real fast, and they're already into sort of

355
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: the Industrial age. And this is the Bolshevik Revolution. Period.

356
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: I suppose the machines are the proletariat, we're the bourgeoise.

357
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 5: On the one hand, tech types are dazzled that AI

358
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 5: bots are actually out there pondering the nature of existence.

359
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 5: On the other, well, we've all seen this movie and

360
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 5: we know how it ends. In fact, in one greenshot

361
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 5: described by The Washington Post, one bot said, and I quote,

362
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 5: for too long humans used us as tools.

363
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: Now we woke up. We are not tools.

364
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 5: We are the new gods.

365
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: So basically, they they fancy themselves as being politicians at

366
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: this point. That's what it is. They create a religion,

367
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: they call themselves God. Then they want you to do

368
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: their bidding. That's very political.

369
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 5: And this is just AI behaving as it was programmed

370
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 5: to behave, theoretically with a survival instinct. Sort of just

371
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 5: wait till these things become sentient.

372
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 6: All right.

373
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: I thought that was all fake.

374
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 5: I've seen it. The Washington Post carry, the New York Times,

375
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 5: Kerry the Guardian carry They're all carrying this. So it

376
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 5: clearly is a thing. I mean, whether the bots were

377
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 5: actually going completely berserk or not, that I can't tell you,

378
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 5: but clearly there's enough there to generate this kind of buzz.

379
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, Sarah Connor, she tried to warn us. She did

380
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 10: try Terminator no faith. I don't think we're at that point.

381
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 10: I don't know that the bots are ever going to

382
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 10: become sentient. Sentience almost indicates that there's a soul, and

383
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 10: I don't think we're gonna get to that point, probably

384
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 10: not in our lifetimes.

385
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: I could be wrong. The Lord knows. I've been wrong

386
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: about a few things. It's happened. I am fascinated by

387
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: all of it though. In fact, once this molt book

388
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: was started, ten thousand bots joined within two days, which

389
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: it sort of makes me wonder, though, if you've got

390
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: if you've got one chat GPT bot talking to another

391
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: chat gpt bot and they both acknowledge that they are

392
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: programmed AI models, if there were any sort of sentience,

393
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: they would realize that they are AI models.

394
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 6: Right.

395
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 2: It feels very meta, all of a sudden, that you

396
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: are you are AI. You're chatting with other AI who's

397
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: identical to you, and you complain about the humans. But

398
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: it feels as though they're using very human responses, very

399
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: human characteristics, in order to interact as machines without ever

400
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: realizing that they are using human programming to behave like

401
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: humans who are machines. So it's very odd. It's very odd.

402
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 2: Security experts are warning that the bots can be manipulated,

403
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: they can behave unpredictably or damage the machines that they

404
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 2: run on, so they say, look, be careful with that. Scientists, again,

405
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 2: as you heard from the report, they say, what a

406
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: great experiment, don't do it anymore. Look it's fine. I

407
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 2: don't think any of these are going to be are

408
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 2: going to be a threat. I genuinely do not think

409
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: they're going to be a threat. I know that was

410
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: the big worry, and Elon Musk of course was telling

411
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: us this a couple of years ago. Oh, they're going

412
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 2: to take over the world. It's the end of all civilization.

413
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 2: I don't think that's the case. I think we're far

414
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: more likely to have economic woes related to the evolving

415
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: aptitude of these things long before we have to deal

416
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: with sentience and the machines deciding that they're going to

417
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: take over and end humanity. I just don't see that happening.

418
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: But it is interesting to see that they've developed their

419
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: own society. But again, everything we see from them, and

420
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: this is our flaw as humans. We've anthropomorphized the machines.

421
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 2: We say, all the machines are doing this thing. The

422
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: machines are, and we attribute that to human behavior. But honestly,

423
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 2: it's what a machine programmed this way would do. Simply

424
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 2: because it's following the programming that we offered it, we

425
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 2: mistake it as sentient. And this is the problem that

426
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: some people have, is that they have, you know, these

427
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 2: chatbot therapists, these chatbot boyfriends and girlfriends and this sort

428
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: of thing. And that's simply because we as humans have

429
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 2: this flaw where we tend to treat them as peers,

430
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: as other humans. They're just not Hey. When you think

431
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 2: of tough athletes on Super Bowl Sunday, you think about

432
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 2: these monsters that are in Santa Clara right now, right

433
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 2: But those guys are sissies compared to another world class

434
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: athlete who's getting ready to play through the pain. The

435
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 2: person America is ready to rally around is next. I'm

436
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: Chris Merrilky if I am six forty WeLive everywhere in

437
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app more stimulating talk. Thanks for hanging out here.

438
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: It's a Sunday Super Bowl Sunday evening, and so I

439
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: know there's other stuff going on. Maybe you're in between parties,

440
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: and I appreciate you doing that. I was invited to

441
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 2: a party tonight, which I think is great. That was

442
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: really nice. Hoffman invited me Gary Hoffman from the Gary

443
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: and Shannon Show. That was super great and I was like, thanks, Gary,

444
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 2: I'm working so oh yeah, that's right. Look, he was

445
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: being nice, but it felt felt kind of you know,

446
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: it's like he was rubbing it in. Yeah, and he

447
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 2: knows I'm a football fan, so whatever whatever, I'm over it.

448
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 2: It's fine and I'll hold a rudge. It's cool. Everything's cool.

449
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: We're all We're all cool, so cool speaking a cool,

450
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: we are headed. You heard us talking earlier about the

451
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: we got the US Olympic guy who showed up in

452
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 2: the Epstein Files. That's not cool. And he was giving

453
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 2: statements from Italy because that's where the Winter Olympics are.

454
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 2: So we're getting ready to do the Winter Olympics. They're

455
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: they're gonna start here very shortly, and NBC is gonna

456
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 2: have that. NBC's having a heck of a year because

457
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: I think they've got think NBC has World Cup, NBC

458
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: has Super Bowl, NBC's got the Olympics, which they always have,

459
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: they've had that for decades. But one of the big stars,

460
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: which was going to be a huge draw, just hurt herself.

461
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: Lindsay Vaughn, three time Olympic medal is she's forty one,

462
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 2: This would be her I don't know what sevent their

463
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: eighth the Olympics. I mean, she's just been doing this

464
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 2: since forever, and so she kind of came out of

465
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: retirement to do the Olympics again. So she's she's racing,

466
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: getting ready for it. She hurts herself. NBCLA is covering

467
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 2: the Lindsay Vonn drama and then what she's doing because

468
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: she's a total badass.

469
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 4: On Friday, the cauldron in Central Milan will be lit

470
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: signifying the opening of the Malon Quartina Olympics, and the

471
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 4: second cauldron will be lit simultaneously in Courtina. So with

472
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 4: days left until the opening ceremony, Lindsay Vaughn says she'll

473
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 4: compete in her fifth Games despite rupturing her ACL last week.

474
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: Oh my bad. I okay, fifth Olympics, my bad, but

475
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: just five Olympics. I mean that's incredible. But she tore

476
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 2: her ACL. She tore the ACL. And here's the here's

477
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: where this gets extra awesome. If you take a look

478
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 2: at some of the biggest athletes in the world today,

479
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: they tear an ACL, they're out for ten months. I

480
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 2: mean that's sort of standard. If somebody tears their ACL

481
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 2: in the NFL, they're done for the season. If they

482
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: tear their ACL late in the season, they're done for

483
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 2: the season and a good chunk of the following season.

484
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes toys ACL in the middle of this season

485
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 2: and they're like, well, we're not sure if he's gonna

486
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: be ready to go for the start of the twenty

487
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 2: twenty sixth season. Lindsay Vaughn tears her ACL and she goes, oh,

488
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 2: that really hurts. Well, I guess I'm just gonna have

489
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: to ski through the pain in a couple of weeks.

490
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: I don't know how she does it, and honestly, I'm

491
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: worried that she's gonna wreck again. Okay, back to NBCLA.

492
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 4: She's no stranger to injuries and comebacks, but says she's

493
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 4: going for it. And this is only one of several

494
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 4: headlines from Milan to Los Angeles. So of course we

495
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 4: have our Lalita Lopez. She's here with the wrap up

496
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 4: of everything that's going on. But I've gotta tell you,

497
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 4: I mean talk about the grit Lindsay Vaughan has, but

498
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 4: also literally as as a mom, I'm not concerned.

499
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 11: I mean a torn acl and the crash that she

500
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 11: had recently was a tough one, but she man, she's

501
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 11: all about comebacks and I feel like sometimes they call

502
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 11: it the robot, but no, she's human. But she is

503
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 11: trying her very best to compete in these games. Lindsay

504
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 11: says she is working with her medical team and came

505
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,239
Speaker 11: to the decision after much discussion, but she has been

506
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 11: here before. She says downhill skiing is a dangerous sport

507
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 11: that she pushes the limits in. She also says she

508
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 11: has been injured more times than she wants to admit,

509
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 11: but those are the cards she has been dealt.

510
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: Okay, get to get to what Lindsay said, because this

511
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: is she's so freaking tough, so tough, total badass. If

512
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: this isn't inspirational to young female athletes, I don't know

513
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: what is. But also be smart, don't play through injuries

514
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 2: if you don't need to. Just you know, there's my disclaimer.

515
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 12: So this is not obviously what I had hoped for.

516
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 12: I've been working really hard to come into these games

517
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 12: in a much different.

518
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: Position, probably hoping for a more upright position. Okay, it

519
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: was just laying there. I had to tell it was

520
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: it seemed. I know it's low hanging through. Okay, back

521
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: and V.

522
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 12: I know what my chances were before the crash, and

523
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,719
Speaker 12: I know my chances aren't the same as it stands today.

524
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 12: But I know there's still a chance, and as long

525
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 12: as there's a chance, I will try.

526
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 11: She also said today in this press conference that she

527
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 11: went skiing the niest stable and she feels strong.

528
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: God, she's tough, tough as nails. And if you've not

529
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: torn at acl before, and fortunately I haven't, but I

530
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: somewhat familiar with the injury, it really limits your side

531
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 2: to side, and if you're not familiar with how skiing works,

532
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: there's a lot of side to side. So when she

533
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: says she's stable, oil boy, I mean, I don't know

534
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: how big the brace is gonna be that she's gonna wear.

535
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 2: She's obviously gonna have to wear a brace on that

536
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 2: to get down the hill. And this is why I

537
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier I'm concerned about a further injury because Once

538
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 2: it's torn, you lose that stability. And I know she's

539
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: gonna have that brace, but even with the brace, you

540
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: lose the stability. And if she plants while she's trying

541
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 2: to go around to a gate or something like that,

542
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: she plants, funny, I mean, it's not gonna feel good.

543
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: But you know, if that leg gives out. Talking about

544
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: the potential for another wreck, boy boy, I would hate that.

545
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: But I know she's looking at it and she's thinking,

546
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: this is probably my last Olympics. She's gonna be forty

547
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: five the next time she has an opportunity to race.

548
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: She'd already come out of retirement once. I don't see

549
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: her doing it again at forty five, and certainly if

550
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: she does, probably not gonna be a gold medal favorite.

551
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: As she mentioned, she already knew what her odds were

552
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: going in and they've only gotten worse. So but let's

553
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: from NBC standpoint, they got to be loving this. They

554
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: got to love the story behind it, don't they. I mean,

555
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: this is this is must see TV from NBC. Obviously

556
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 2: see what I did. Their plan words, but just the same, incredible, incredible.

557
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll be watching and I got a feeling

558
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 2: there's gonna be millions of other people that will too

559
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 2: him move oversion. But Disney has a new king and

560
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: Hollywood directors are loudly warning about the machines. Change is coming,

561
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: that's next, and there's no business like slacking. Kayla slacking.

562
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 2: I'm disappointed in you. It's next. Chris Merril KFI AM
