Speaker 3: Before we talk about the wonderful Ma'm dummy, let me

18
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: ask you. Did you watch the Netflix special on the

Speaker 3: nineteen eighty Men's Hockey Olympic. You know, Gold medal team.

20
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: No, no, I did not.

21
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 4: I gotta do it.

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: I will.

23
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:23,279
Speaker 5: Yeah.

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 3: In fact, anybody, you don't even have to like sports

25
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: or be a hockey fan, you just have to be

26
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: an American. You're gonna get goosebumps throughout. It's so it

27
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: was so well done. And I must have been last

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: year or something. They brought the whole team up to

29
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: Lake Placid and they interviewed them, you know, as they

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: are now, you know, they're in their fifties and sixties,

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 3: and it was just an amazing Uh.

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: It really was great.

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: It really, it just was so good.

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: I remember the movie, and the movie was one of

35
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: the best sports movies ever made. But you know what,

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: I don't care what the how good the documentary is,

37
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: how good the movie was, It's never going to be

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: as good. Is the real thing that that was an

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: amazing moment in Olympic history. And now here we are

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: again both Yeah, the men's and the women might win.

41
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: It's it's an incredible moment. Not so much incredible moments,

42
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: even though we are also moving around on ice in

43
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: New York. Not so many great moments in this city

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: so far under.

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: But did you expect anything better?

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: I didn't expect this. I didn't expect well I did.

47
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: You know why commies do what commis do. And this guy,

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: just like the rest of his team around him, all

49
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 3: they want to do is pick your pocket because it's

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: so much easier to do that, to take and the

51
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: villain on it, you know, to make the rich the villains.

52
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: They don't pay their fair share. But don't you realize, folks,

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: it's always the middle class at pace because there's not

54
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: enough of those rich guys to go after, so it's

55
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 3: always the middle class. And look, his tactic is come

56
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: out with a large number, almost ten percent property tax

57
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 3: increase or an income tax increase, because it's you know.

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: I'm forced to do that. I love when he says

59
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: that I'm forced to do this.

60
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 3: No, you're not. Your Plan A and Plan B is

61
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: tax increase. Plan C. What you haven't mentioned is to

62
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: actually do what you're supposed to do as an executive

63
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: and look for savings, look for cuts. And that's the

64
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 3: way you need to do that. I mean, the New

65
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: York City budget is incredibly large, and the fact that

66
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: you know, the knee jerk reaction is property tax increase.

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: Here's what's gonna happen probably, so all Buty's gonna be

68
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: very scared because you know, Hocus got a run this year,

69
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: so she'll she already gave him the wink of the nod.

70
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: I'll do it right after reelection. But in the meantime,

71
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: he needs money for his budget, so he'll increase property taxes.

72
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: Not by nine and a half percent. That was a

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: scary number.

74
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: So I ended up doing it like five percent, and

75
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: everyone be like, oh good, it's only five percent, and

76
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: that's the way they do.

77
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: It, well, five percent. Why does it he cut all

78
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: the departments fought by five percent like they did under Bloomberg.

79
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: That worked when we stayed alive, the city continued to function.

80
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't understand this. I don't understand why he

81
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: keeps doubling down on stupid because he should learn. I mean,

82
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: wasn't there an awakening during the snowstorm and the cold

83
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: spell when his policies killed people. Don't you have some

84
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: self reflection at that point and say, hey, you know what,

85
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 2: maybe I'm wrong about all of this. But no, he

86
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: keeps pushing forward. He's now pushing ahead with not hiring

87
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: the five thousand cops he's supposed to hire with watching

88
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: as people retire and he's not replacing him. And he

89
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: comes in front of the press yesterday and says, oh,

90
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to replace them with social workers.

91
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 3: Remember he's a thirty four year old with no experience

92
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 3: in anything. So now all of a sudden he's in

93
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: charge of a municipal budget that's larger than almost every

94
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 3: state budget in the United States. And this this is

95
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: all he knows. When he was an assemblyman. You are

96
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: responsible for nothing.

97
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: It's like the scarecrow.

98
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: You know, we went that way and they point in

99
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: both different in both directions, because it's easy as a legislator,

100
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: you can blame everybody because you're never responsible for anything.

101
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: So now as the executive is like, everyone is looking

102
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: at him for direction and he doesn't know which way

103
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: to go because he has no experience. Look at this

104
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: imbecile in Seattle who also won. She's a socialist. She's

105
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: been living in her parents' house up until she won.

106
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: You know what her job is literally, and you know

107
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: what her job is as mayor to figure out problems. Right,

108
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: She's like, Ma'm dommy.

109
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: So they also have.

110
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: A need for more revenue in Seattle, of course, So

111
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: what is her number one choice. Seattle has a migration

112
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: businesses are lead Seattle just like a New York.

113
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 2: They're leaving Seattle.

114
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: So you got a high vacancy rate, high vacancy rate?

115
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 3: What is her? This is like crazy.

116
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 6: Her proposal is to tax vacant of his face. Oh,

117
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 6: I swear to God, you cannot make this up. Is

118
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 6: just it's like, hi, folks, raise your hand if you're

119
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 6: here for imbecil one on one class. Oh good, okay, good,

120
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 6: let's proceed.

121
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: I just don't understand, though, why they don't why they

122
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: don't get when they fail. I mean, they keep they

123
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: keep doing the same thing over and over. Well, it's

124
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: obvious when you kill over twenty people you failed. That

125
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: policy was wrong. Rather, and he's going back on that. No,

126
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: he's actually going back on that. He at least he

127
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: at least he learned from that one. But I can

128
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: say right now that if he starts sending social workers

129
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: and mental health workers on domestic violence calls, people are

130
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: gonna die. People people will die.

131
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and some of them will be social workers.

132
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I mean. That's who's gonna die.

133
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 6: Yep.

134
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not gonna be one or two.

135
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 3: No, no, No, absolutely no. And again you're dealing with

136
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 3: people who know nothing, who know nothing about real life

137
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 3: or executive experience or business, none of that. All they

138
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 3: know is like the nonprofit world where everything is given

139
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: to them and there's no expectations to be good at

140
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: it because there's going to get automatically. When the budget

141
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: comes the next year, you're gonna.

142
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 4: Get even more.

143
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: That's the world they live in.

144
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: One thing you said, You're really onto something here. These

145
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: are kids that grew up in mommy and daddy's world.

146
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: So did mom Donni. Mom Donnie didn't really ever have

147
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: to work. He didn't even work when he was an

148
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: assembly person. He wrote one bill and he didn't even

149
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: show up for the vote. So uh, these are people

150
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: that are just idealists with no practical experience. I love

151
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: that you said that. That was really brilliant. Thanks so much.

00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: The wor Saturday Morning Show and Larry Minte Welcome back.

159
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: The Reverend Jesse Jackson died this week from something called

160
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: supra nuclear palsy. Doctor Gregory Poland from the Mayo Clinic

161
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: is here to explain what that is, Doctor Poland, I

162
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: just found out that you were recently diagnosed with prostate

163
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: cancer and went through surgery.

164
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 7: Everything okay, yes, fortunately, I mean I do, of course

165
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 7: what the science shows and what we advise patients to have.

166
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 7: I've been followed very closely for about twelve years, and

167
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 7: finally the PSA went up a little bit and the

168
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 7: MRI just a little bit abnormal, had the prostate removed,

169
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 7: fortunately a very cheeny teeny focus of cancer. So had

170
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 7: a prostotectomy and cured and doing well.

171
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: So you're doing well. What happens when you have your

172
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: prostate removed? How does that affect you?

173
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 7: Well? The most common thing is that you have some

174
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 7: difficulty with urinary incontinence for a while. In my case,

175
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 7: of course, I went to an excellent institution to have

176
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 7: the surgery. It was really minimal and only for a

177
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 7: few weeks, and then recovered.

178
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: Wonderful. Oh that is wonderful, I guess because of what

179
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: you did and the fact that you were able to

180
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: catch this in time, you have a message to everyone else.

181
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 7: And that's exactly why I'm talking about it, you know, publicly,

182
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 7: is to encourage people. This This is something that's it's

183
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 7: something that you have to for men have to watch

184
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 7: for and be screened for. By the way, I should say,

185
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 7: because I myself sort of worried about what would the

186
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 7: biopsy be like. And I can tell you and promise

187
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 7: you done properly. I had not a millisecond discomfort really,

188
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 7: So don't be afraid of it. Get get screened, talk

189
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 7: with your doctor about it. Certainly if there's a family

190
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 7: history of prostate cancer. African American men have a much

191
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 7: higher incidence for unknown reasons of prostate cancer, so it's

192
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 7: really important for them to talk with their doctor and

193
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 7: figure out what kind of screening is best for them.

194
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: And the test are fairly easy, right except for the

195
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: biopsy part.

196
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 7: It's a blood test, right and then and the biopsy

197
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 7: they use consciousidation much like a colonoscopy, so you don't

198
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 7: feel anything, and they go through the perineum that area

199
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 7: between the rectum and the scrotum, and they put a

200
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 7: needle through there, they use ultrasound guidance. They take a

201
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 7: little piece of the abnormality and then pathologist looks at

202
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 7: it under the microscope and then you make a decision

203
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 7: about partial gland therapy, radiation therapy, or search removal, and

204
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 7: I opted for surgical removal.

205
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: So Jesse Jackson, I'm so glad to hear that. By

206
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: the way, I should point that that's wonderful. That is wonderful.

207
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: What is supernuclear polesy the disease that Jesse Jackson died of. Yeah, well,

208
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: the Reverend Jackson, from what we read, had been diagnosed

209
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: with Parkinson's disease in twenty seventeen. It probably was early

210
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: progressive super nuclear palsy. Life expectancy with that diagnosis is

211
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: around seven eight years, so that also fits. The basic

212
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: underlying cause of it is a protein we normally have

213
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: called the tau protein that becomes disregulated and misfolded so

214
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: that it actually destroys brain cells and you get these

215
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: tangles of these proteins, so a lot like what happens

216
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: in Alzheimer's disease, and what happens is they develop a stiffness,

217
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 2: difficulty walking, they have difficulty raising their eyes and they

218
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: have cognitive problems and tend to fall oddly enough, they

219
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: tend to fall backwards, not forwards. No known cure at

220
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: this point, so it's a very unfortunate diagnosis. But the

221
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: Reverend Jackson lived about as long as as anybody does

222
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 2: with this disease. Yeah, it's interesting, you said in twenty seventeen,

223
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: because I have interviewed Jesse Jackson several times, and in

224
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty at the Democratic National Convention, I interviewed him

225
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: and I really couldn't make out what he was saying.

226
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: It was unusable at that point, so he was still

227
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: doing interviews, but I don't think anybody was able to

228
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: use it.

229
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, so unfortunately it is.

230
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: And let's talk about one last thing because it's important.

231
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,359
Speaker 2: So you could have a higher possibility at dementia depending

232
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 2: on what you choose to drink.

233
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 7: Maybe I would say it a different way and that

234
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 7: the risk of dementia or cognitive decline was lower, about

235
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 7: eighteen fourteen percent lower. And people who drank caffeinated coffee

236
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 7: and caffeinated tea. Now that bothered me because I only

237
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 7: drink decaffeinated drinks because I carry a gene variant where

238
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 7: I don't metabolize caffeine very well. If I drank what

239
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 7: my wife drinks, She's Norwegian and drinks this black coffee.

240
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 7: If I drank that, I literally would be hospitalized. So

241
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 7: choose your poison just really quickly. Doctor birdflow was suspected

242
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 7: in the in dead geese found in New Jersey. Something

243
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 7: to be concerned about. Yes, you know, we continue to

244
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 7: have outbreaks. It's a significant outbreak of what's called high

245
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 7: pathogenicity avian flu. The US since twenty twenty four is

246
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 7: lost about ninety million birds, which is why he hate costs,

247
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 7: you know, go up and down. But importantly Larry, it

248
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 7: has affected mammals, dairy cows, and about seventy human cases

249
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 7: as of late twenty twenty five in the US. So

250
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 7: it's this disease primarily of birds of zoonosis that is

251
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 7: modifying slowly and the concern that many of us carry.

252
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 7: Would this ever mutate to be easily transmittable in humans

253
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,119
Speaker 7: that happens, we have a significant pandemic.

254
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: Let's pray that it doesn't. Doctor Gregory poland health and

255
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: medical expert who is a leader in vaccines and infectious

256
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: diseases at the Mayo Clinic. He's also president of the

257
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: Atria Research Institute in New York. President Obama recently said

258
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: aliens are real, reigniting a social media debate. Futurist and

259
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: podcast host Kevin Sirilli gets in on that debate. Mark Zuckerberg,

260
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: the CEO of Meta that owns Facebook and Instagram, was

261
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: grilled on the stand this week in a landmark case

262
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: on social media addiction. Rich de Muro from rich On

263
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: Tech tells us all about it. Coming up on Saturday Morning.

264
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: Here's Larry Minting with more of the WOOR Saturday Morning Show.

265
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: After former President Barack Obama said on a podcast that

266
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: aliens are real, President Trump said he's going to release

267
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: all government files on aliens and UFOs. A lot of

268
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: people are very interested to see those files, including iHeart

269
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: podcast host and futurist Kevin Sirilli. Let's get to the

270
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: President Obama and President Trump now having a back and

271
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: forth about aliens.

272
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 5: You personally, and I hope you would agree with me.

273
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 5: I actually am kind of ticked off of both of them.

274
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 5: What took so long? I mean seriously, because this has

275
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 5: been something that you know, I have been a huge,

276
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 5: huge supporter of transparency for a very long time. And

277
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 5: you know, for those of us who scientifically examine this question,

278
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 5: we've been called everything from crazy and kookie, and that's

279
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 5: just putting it mildly. I'm not sitting in the corner

280
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 5: where the tinfoil hat. But the fact of the matter

281
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 5: is because we are living at the start of the

282
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 5: Fifth Industrial Revolution and because of artificial intelligence, we are

283
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 5: making Galileo like discoveries every single day. I mean, it

284
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 5: was just a couple of decades ago where it would

285
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 5: be front page news if we discovered a new planet,

286
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 5: But now we're discovering hundreds and thousands of new solar

287
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 5: systems every single week because of these telescopes that we're

288
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 5: able to do. So, you know, I think for there's

289
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 5: a political lens through this, and it is kind of interesting.

290
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 5: And I go into this on the podcast in a

291
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 5: couple of episodes that are about to be released, because

292
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 5: I interview one of the most well respected executive director

293
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 5: of the Sole Foundation, doctor Peter Skayfish, total non partisan

294
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 5: guy who academically looks at this issue of aliens and UAPs.

295
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 5: And it actually used to be the Democrats who were

296
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 5: in front of the Republicans on this. If you remember

297
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 5: back in the nineteen nineties, former President Bill Clinton actually

298
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 5: wanted to send special agents to.

299
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: Roswell and one of.

300
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 5: His political topics that he would frequently draw on, not

301
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 5: all the time, but he would espouse on, was getting

302
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 5: to the bottom of Roswell in Area fifty one. Flash

303
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 5: forward to where we are today in twenty twenty six

304
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 5: with President Trump. President Trump, in the last campaign cycle

305
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 5: has said repeatedly that he was going to release these files.

306
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 5: His Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, introduced bipartiesan legislation with

307
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 5: Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat. I mean, they agree on

308
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 5: practically nothing, but when they were in the Senate together,

309
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 5: they agreed on introducing bipartisan legislation to uncover the transparency

310
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 5: of the Pentagon, which has a special program, has a

311
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 5: special program. This is fact. This is out there in

312
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 5: congressional hearings looking at this particular issue.

313
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 2: I get it. I want to back up a little bit.

314
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: So do you believe we've been visited by aliens?

315
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 5: I believe that. Listen, I don't have you know some

316
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 5: trust me. If I had the files, I'd release them immediately.

317
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 5: The public has a right to know. Plus respectfully, it

318
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 5: would be good for my journalism career. So I'm a capitalist.

319
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 5: Come on, so you know, once a bloomberg, always a bloomberg, right, So,

320
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 5: at least in the economic sense. So I think I

321
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 5: think I've lost my train of thought. No, do I

322
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 5: believe that we've been visiting. I believe that there are

323
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 5: ten The facts are.

324
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:55,239
Speaker 2: Here's what we know.

325
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 5: There are tens of thousands of incidents of people reporting.

326
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 5: I have personally heard in Washington, d C. At events

327
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 5: with diplomats and members of Congress. I've seen the hearings.

328
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 5: There are whistleblowers who believe that something is going on.

329
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 5: My argument is not to uncover everything, like what I

330
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 5: want to have happened, truthfully, is for there to be

331
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 5: a transparent system and accountability, and the public private partnership

332
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 5: and academia and the power of the US military and

333
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 5: the power of the government working together on this because

334
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 5: the alternative, if we're alone in the universe, is quite depressing.

335
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 5: So I would hope that we weren't alone in the union.

336
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: You're like our mayor. That's a lot of words for

337
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 2: a simple question. I asked it. If you believe it.

338
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: If you believe it, do you believe you do. I

339
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 2: can tell you. I can tell because you're so into this.

340
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: Do you believe we've been visited?

341
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 5: That's so I say, because I was just at the

342
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 5: National Press Club and there was an event where they

343
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 5: brought out like seven people who are talking about this

344
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 5: incident in Brazil, and they were they were very scared.

345
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 5: We'recalling this incident Vargenia and it's and there were members

346
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 5: of Congress there and like bipartisan representation. And do I

347
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 5: believe that they're lying. I don't believe they're lying. But

348
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 5: do I know for a fact that what they believe

349
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 5: they saw they actually saw. I don't know. But this

350
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 5: is what bothers me. I don't understand why we're not

351
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 5: pulling this. Like, as a Catholic and the Church and

352
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 5: Judaism are very well set up for the existence of

353
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 5: aliens because God created everything.

354
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: I believe that.

355
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 5: But what bothers me is that we're not all working

356
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 5: together in our country to understand our place in the universe.

357
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: So that's a difficult question. We are exploring our place

358
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: in the universe. We absolutely are as you said, there

359
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 2: are are miracles, there's discoveries that every day, as we're

360
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: going out further and further as we plan in our

361
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: own universe, but you are in our own solar system.

362
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: But what's fascinating to me is because I think you're

363
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: a really smart guy and and what you talk about

364
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 2: is fascinating. You talk about things that I don't know

365
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: at all, but the fact that it seems like at

366
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: the root of this, you believe that aliens were here,

367
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: and I think it seemed to be you seem to

368
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 2: think that the government's hiding something.

369
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 5: I think that it's possible that they have visited US.

370
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 5: I have not seen the evidence. If I did see

371
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 5: the evidence, I would gladly change my position. I definitely

372
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 5: think it's possible that I will say, but do I

373
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 5: think they're hiding something? I think that for I think

374
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 5: that there's reason for wanting the US to have an

375
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 5: edge in this information against bad actors like China and

376
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 5: Russia and Iran. But I think we're at the tipping point,

377
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 5: and we've been at a tipping point where the cats

378
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 5: out of the bag, you know, and you've got to

379
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 5: be transparent with people candidly, you know, And we go

380
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 5: into this on an upcoming episode, there would be I've

381
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 5: touched on the religious implications, which I think are fine.

382
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: We I this, Yeah, I know, I get it. We

383
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: have to have this discussion. The reason I the reason

384
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: I laughed, it wasn't at you. The reason I laughed

385
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: is I just thought, you're going to get a lot

386
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: of people come into your podcast right now. You got

387
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: a lot of people. You were saying a moment ago

388
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: you're a capitalist first, Well, you are going to get

389
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 2: a lot of people that want to hear what you

390
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 2: have to say on this issue. And let me tell

391
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: people how to get there. They go on the iHeartRadio app,

392
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: and your podcast is called Hello Future Futurist, Kevin Sirelli.

393
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Kevin, it was good to talk to you.

394
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: Coming up next, Rich DeMuro from rich On Tech on

395
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: an app that will perform and write a song about you.

396
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: Next on Saturday.

397
00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: Morning, Here again is Larry Manty with the Saturday Morning

398
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: Show Welcome Back.

399
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 2: This week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was grilled in a

400
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 2: Los Angeles courtroom about Instagram and charges that it's purposely

401
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: addictive for children. Rich de Muro from rich On Tech

402
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 2: is here to tell us how it went. Hey, Rich,

403
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: I want to start off with a little bit of

404
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: a news story. He got Mark Zuckerberg testifying in what

405
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 2: is going to be a landmark case out in out

406
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 2: in California. There are some groups that are charging him

407
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 2: and some of his social media platforms, especially Instagram, of

408
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: being so addictive that they are harmful to children. Can

409
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 2: you tell us what's happened so far?

410
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 5: Yeah?

411
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 4: I think the main part about this trial is did

412
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 4: Meta willingly try to make their app addictive? Especially for teens?

413
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 4: And I think that's what the trial is trying to

414
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 4: pinpoint here. You've got this girl who used the app

415
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 4: a lot during her youth. Now she's I believe in

416
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 4: her twenties, but she was very depressed, very sad, even suicidal.

417
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 4: Is that all from the app? That's really what we're

418
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 4: trying to figure out here. So Zuckerberg was on the

419
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 4: stand yesterday and he said that, you know, those under

420
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 4: thirteen are officially barred from using Instagram, but a lot

421
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 4: of people lie, and enforcing those rules are very tough.

422
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 4: They also asked him about, you know, does Meta try

423
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 4: to maximize the amount of time that people spend on

424
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 4: their platforms? And he suggested that they don't necessarily try

425
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 4: to do that. Then they looked at some internal documents

426
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 4: from back in the day that showed they wanted to

427
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 4: increase the time that people spent on the apps, and

428
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 4: he said that Meta no longer has those goals. So

429
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 4: this is going to be a back and forth. But

430
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 4: the reality is it really could drive many more similar

431
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 4: cases because there are currently over sixteen hundred similar social

432
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 4: addiction social media addiction law suit's pending and this one

433
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 4: was set a precedent. If they ruled in this woman's.

434
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 2: Favor, absolutely, it's something to watch. Let's talk about Google's

435
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 2: Gemini AI because I love these videos. I see them

436
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 2: all the time on social media, and I think, how

437
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: do you make them? This helps you make them?

438
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is now we've seen videos, now we

439
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 4: got music. And so this is their latest addition to

440
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 4: Gemini called Leria three. And this is something that Google

441
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 4: has been working on for a while, but now they've

442
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 4: built it into Gemini And basically anyone, anyone can make

443
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 4: music in seconds with the help of AI. All you

444
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 4: have to do is type something in. You can upload

445
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 4: a photo or even a video, and you'll get a

446
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 4: custom thirty second track.

447
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: So Larry I uploaded a photo of.

448
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 4: You and I said, hey, can you make a little

449
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 4: radio stinger for my tech segment here? But Larry, I

450
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 4: don't know about you, but this is quite impressive for

451
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 4: being like day one product that people anyone can access.

452
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can go through it and change it

453
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 2: over and over again. Did they all sound like that?

454
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 2: If you tried a couple, do they all come out

455
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 2: just like exactly like that?

456
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 4: No, that one I prompted to be more like a

457
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 4: radio kind of jingle. But I did one where I

458
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: uploaded a photo of my hike and it came up

459
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 4: with a country western song.

460
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 2: I uploaded another.

461
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 4: Video of some other folks that I work with, and

462
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 4: it came up with this night nice bright jingle. I mean,

463
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 4: it's really interesting how it thinks, but it's kind of

464
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 4: scary at the same time, because there are people that

465
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 4: spend a lot of time making these things for a living,

466
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 4: and the fact that you can just come up with

467
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 4: this stuff in seconds is.

468
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: Just going to get better.

469
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it just says. It's not meant to replace professionals,

470
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 4: but it's just more fun if you want to, you know,

471
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 4: make something for a friend or family member or whatever.

472
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 2: So did you also prompt them to say Larry Menti's

473
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: name once, but do Rick on Tech about four times?

474
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 2: Did you prompt that as well?

475
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 4: I did. I did not say that, but you know,

476
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 4: I guess I don't know what to say about that

477
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 4: part of it, but you know you can you can

478
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 4: tweak it.

479
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 5: I guess.

480
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, thank you so much. Hey, listen, I want

481
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: to I want to notice that you're going to talk

482
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 2: about Woofy, the AI puppy. Everybody's seen this ad. Everybody's

483
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 2: seen this ad, and I've heard so many people that

484
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: think it's adorable and want to get it. They're held

485
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: back because they think, Oh, it looks so much better

486
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 2: in the ad that it does in person. What have

487
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 2: you heard about it?

488
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, so I had. This is what I

489
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 4: love about my radio show. People email me every day saying, Rich,

490
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 4: you know, here's the latest scam.

491
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: Here's what I did.

492
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 4: I get so many emails, and I love it because

493
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 4: they often turn into a really good story. So with

494
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 4: this person, I actually said, he said he ordered this

495
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 4: wuffy robot dog for his grandson. And he said, Rich,

496
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 4: you can't believe what this thing looks like. I said,

497
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 4: I'm coming over, and so I ran over to his

498
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 4: place and I looked at this puppy. I'm not kidding, Larry.

499
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 4: Do you remember like KB toys back in the day.

500
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 4: They sure have this little robotic puppies like jumping and barking. Yeah,

501
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 4: that's what this thing looks like. There's nothing special about it.

502
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 4: There's no AI, there's no commands. The videos on the

503
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 4: website are completely bogus. There are so many websites popping

504
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 4: up with this Wuffy robotic dog that look amazing. I mean,

505
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 4: there's just so many. Just stay away. But here's my lesson.

506
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 4: There is a great website from the Better Business Bureau

507
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 4: called Scamtracker BBB dot com slash scam tracker. If this

508
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 4: guy would have typed Wuffy into that, he would have

509
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 4: seen one hundred reports of people who did order this

510
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 4: and got completely scammed by this thing. So that's the

511
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 4: bookmark today. I am so disappointed. It really does look cool.

512
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 4: It looks like a real dog in the ad. I

513
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 4: wonder if they used AI to create the ad and

514
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 4: men didn't use it in their own product. Absolutely, the

515
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 4: ads are so cute. You want one of these things.

516
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 4: But here's the other thing I noticed that they're doing, Larry.

517
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 4: They're making YouTube videos every day and uploading them to YouTube.

518
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 4: So when you search like Wuffy dog or Wuffy dog

519
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 4: review or Wuffy Robot, it's an ad from someone that

520
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 4: says like, Hi, I ordered the Wuffy Dog and it's amazing,

521
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 4: But they never show the dog in the review, and

522
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 4: so I'm trying to make sure that people realize that

523
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 4: this thing is not as advertised and just beat buyer beware.

524
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 2: Hey are you do you think the TikTok local feed

525
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 2: is good?

526
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, this is my new obsession. I never

527
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 4: went on TikTok until they introduced this. And what's cool

528
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 4: about it is that it shows you things near you.

529
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 4: So I've always loved this idea of local right, local radio,

530
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 4: local TV, local newspapers, you see what's happening near you.

531
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 4: With social media, everything has become nationalized, and so I

532
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 4: think it's really interesting to see a local feed of restaurants, shopping,

533
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 4: travel spots, local creators, and that's what this is doing.

534
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 3: Now.

535
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 4: The downside is you have to give TikTok your location,

536
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 4: and so of course they're collecting more data that they

537
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 4: can then sell ads against. But I will tell you

538
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 4: I was in Las Vegas over the weekend. I used

539
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 4: it there and every other thing I flipped through, I'm like,

540
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 4: I want to go there, I want to eat that,

541
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 4: I want to go to that hike. I mean, it's

542
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 4: it's really interesting stuff, and it's it's a whole new

543
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 4: way of discovering things around you.

544
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: Good news for all of us. Rich Demiro rich on

545
