WEBVTT - Shite & Onions!

0:00:07.300 --> 0:00:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Now broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at

0:00:11.340 --> 0:00:15.810
<v Speaker 1>the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:16.010 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty. And now.

0:00:34.140 --> 0:00:36.380
<v Speaker 2>I see you doing lots of moving around and talking, Michael.

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Is everything okay?

0:00:38.100 --> 0:00:39.340
<v Speaker 1>I believe everything is fine.

0:00:39.700 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Why were you talking into the microphone? Did something happen?

0:00:42.330 --> 0:00:43.340
<v Speaker 1>You had to tell me something.

0:00:43.550 --> 0:00:43.910
<v Speaker 2>Oh, okay.

0:00:44.550 --> 0:00:49.069
<v Speaker 1>No fatties, no beardos, by the way. Yeah, or weirdos.

0:00:49.430 --> 0:00:52.150
<v Speaker 2>Weirdos or trannies, is that what he says?

0:00:53.490 --> 0:00:54.090
<v Speaker 1>Or wimps.

0:00:54.780 --> 0:00:54.980
<v Speaker 2>Wimp.

0:00:56.170 --> 0:00:57.910
<v Speaker 1>And trannies and weirdos and beardos.

0:00:57.930 --> 0:01:00.790
<v Speaker 2>Here on Fri-A, deep within the bowels of the Armstrong

0:01:00.830 --> 0:01:03.700
<v Speaker 2>and Getty Communications compound, and today we are toiling under

0:01:03.730 --> 0:01:04.620
<v Speaker 2>the title of the show.

0:01:05.180 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Americans frantically signal that they're against rape. Yeah, we know

0:01:10.540 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>you are. So is everybody. More on that to come,

0:01:12.660 --> 0:01:15.380
<v Speaker 1>the Cornell case. And how about we start with no

0:01:15.420 --> 0:01:18.120
<v Speaker 1>jihadis in the cockpit and go from there?

0:01:18.700 --> 0:01:19.730
<v Speaker 2>As just a rule of thumb?

0:01:20.350 --> 0:01:20.530
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:01:20.750 --> 0:01:24.430
<v Speaker 1>So I have a technical question. Am I a beardo?

0:01:24.450 --> 0:01:25.690
<v Speaker 2>Because you have a beard?

0:01:26.300 --> 0:01:29.380
<v Speaker 1>Given my mustache and goateed look.

0:01:29.540 --> 0:01:36.740
<v Speaker 2>I have a goatee, my go-to. Go-do, you're a go-do.

0:01:37.020 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't rhyme, so it's okay. No weirdos or beardos. Okay,

0:01:41.980 --> 0:01:44.580
<v Speaker 2>I'm hot to trot for one particular story. I'm so

0:01:44.670 --> 0:01:45.550
<v Speaker 2>wound up about this.

0:01:46.010 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Bring it.

0:01:48.770 --> 0:01:51.590
<v Speaker 2>My son is quite sick, and there's so many sicknesses

0:01:51.630 --> 0:01:57.430
<v Speaker 2>going around. Schools are, my local schools are like, Classrooms

0:01:57.470 --> 0:02:01.130
<v Speaker 2>are devastated with COVID and some sort of bad cold

0:02:01.190 --> 0:02:05.230
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. Something that includes throwing up. Anywho, one of

0:02:05.270 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 2>my kids is sick and had me up really, really early.

0:02:10.139 --> 0:02:13.060
<v Speaker 2>Needing some medicine. So I'm reading through the New York

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.579
<v Speaker 2>Times and this is one of their big stories today.

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.260
<v Speaker 2>The headline being religious scholars met with anthropic what they

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:24.570
<v Speaker 2>heard stunned them. oh yeah this very very very long

0:02:24.669 --> 0:02:27.180
<v Speaker 2>article is damned interesting and i can't wait to get

0:02:27.220 --> 0:02:30.139
<v Speaker 2>into the details later this broke yesterday and i thought

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.340
<v Speaker 2>i don't know if i believe this is completely true

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 2>but yeah it's in the new york times today so

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.820
<v Speaker 2>apparently it's something that actually happened the way the people

0:02:37.860 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 2>of anthropic are uh concerned about ai taking over see

0:02:43.139 --> 0:02:45.590
<v Speaker 2>if i can find my favorite clip here i thought

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.170
<v Speaker 2>i highlighted it but i can't find it now while.

0:02:48.110 --> 0:02:50.610
<v Speaker 1>You are scrolling i will tell you that i uh

0:02:50.790 --> 0:02:52.589
<v Speaker 1>i read the same or a chunk of the same

0:02:52.630 --> 0:02:55.730
<v Speaker 1>article as you mentioned it was very long um and

0:02:55.830 --> 0:02:59.549
<v Speaker 1>it it struck me that this whole ai thing is

0:02:59.710 --> 0:03:04.609
<v Speaker 1>unleashing in this case like deep philosophical questions what does

0:03:04.690 --> 0:03:08.410
<v Speaker 1>it mean to be uh i think therefore i am

0:03:08.470 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute and then you've got like deep sociological questions.

0:03:14.260 --> 0:03:18.700
<v Speaker 1>Then you've got purely economic questions and how that enters

0:03:18.740 --> 0:03:22.540
<v Speaker 1>into human psychology. And it's just like, is anything untouched

0:03:22.580 --> 0:03:26.649
<v Speaker 1>by this? The rules of baseball, you know, anything at all.

0:03:26.950 --> 0:03:30.929
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's that. And then there's also the very small

0:03:31.030 --> 0:03:35.010
<v Speaker 2>number of people that are handling these companies. And in particular,

0:03:35.050 --> 0:03:37.790
<v Speaker 2>since we're talking about Anthropic, the most powerful AI company

0:03:37.810 --> 0:03:42.430
<v Speaker 2>in the world, It's suspected that its IPO debuting sometime

0:03:42.450 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>this fall will be $ 2 trillion, significantly bigger than SpaceX.

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 2>$ 2 trillion. You know how long this company's been around?

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:56.950
<v Speaker 2>Five years. That shouldn't be possible. Anyway, you got this

0:03:57.090 --> 0:03:59.470
<v Speaker 2>run by a handful of people and some of them

0:03:59.530 --> 0:04:02.930
<v Speaker 2>sound like weirdos to me. Do you want weirdos in

0:04:03.010 --> 0:04:06.940
<v Speaker 2>charge of crafting the new most powerful technology in the

0:04:06.980 --> 0:04:09.660
<v Speaker 2>history of the world? So this guy, Ola, he's one

0:04:09.700 --> 0:04:12.700
<v Speaker 2>of the founders. He's a multibillionaire. He's all of 34

0:04:12.700 --> 0:04:17.690
<v Speaker 2>years old. He and his team spent hours meeting with

0:04:17.790 --> 0:04:21.099
<v Speaker 2>these people. religious leaders from around the world that they

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.660
<v Speaker 2>brought into San Francisco to a fancy meal. The religious

0:04:23.700 --> 0:04:25.539
<v Speaker 2>leaders didn't exactly know why they were going to be there.

0:04:26.220 --> 0:04:29.620
<v Speaker 2>And Mr. Ola from Anthropic was making the case that

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:35.170
<v Speaker 2>their AI models have feelings. Claude has feelings, what they

0:04:35.210 --> 0:04:40.969
<v Speaker 2>call emotional vectors, and have responses like love, anger, fear,

0:04:41.050 --> 0:04:47.280
<v Speaker 2>and sadness. And because of that, they're Go-to person for

0:04:47.580 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 2>programming the thing who is a philosophy PhD from NYU. Well,

0:04:55.400 --> 0:05:00.450
<v Speaker 2>that's who I trust with making the proper decisions for

0:05:00.490 --> 0:05:05.370
<v Speaker 2>the world. Is working with these religious people, make sure

0:05:05.410 --> 0:05:08.130
<v Speaker 2>we include the views of all different faiths, including indigenous

0:05:08.170 --> 0:05:09.589
<v Speaker 2>peoples and all the major religions.

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I tell you what, I hear a philosophy professor from NYU.

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to ask him what's a good pizza

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>in this neighborhood. I wouldn't believe him. He might be

0:05:18.810 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the last person on Earth I'd believe.

0:05:21.089 --> 0:05:23.110
<v Speaker 2>It's a she in this case. Sometimes they let she's

0:05:23.150 --> 0:05:26.110
<v Speaker 2>get PhDs. Well, you see how far it's gone now. Actually,

0:05:26.130 --> 0:05:28.490
<v Speaker 2>in the modern world, it's almost all she's getting PhDs.

0:05:28.610 --> 0:05:29.150
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no kidding.

0:05:29.870 --> 0:05:34.790
<v Speaker 2>But the idea that they're treating all religious views as

0:05:34.870 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 2>equal and throwing them into the mix and trying to

0:05:39.450 --> 0:05:43.110
<v Speaker 2>Program this thing because they believe it has consciousness and

0:05:43.150 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 2>can feel things like love and regret, etc. Holy crap. OK,

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 2>it's either true, which would be troubling or it's not.

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 2>And these people are just weirdos and are involved in this.

0:05:58.220 --> 0:06:01.940
<v Speaker 1>As pretentious people say these days, Jack, the word like

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>was doing a lot of work in that sentence. You

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:10.339
<v Speaker 1>said it was feeling, you know, emotions like love, regret, fear, etc.

0:06:11.180 --> 0:06:14.900
<v Speaker 1>One of my favorite correspondents about AI to the show, Paolo,

0:06:15.300 --> 0:06:19.039
<v Speaker 1>pointed out that what these systems have learned to do

0:06:19.580 --> 0:06:24.350
<v Speaker 1>is an extremely good imitation of consciousness because that's what

0:06:24.390 --> 0:06:28.430
<v Speaker 1>they're being asked to do. But that, you know, and

0:06:29.029 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>that's a pretty good, concise explanation, right? They know what

0:06:33.260 --> 0:06:35.340
<v Speaker 1>words to say to make it seem as though they

0:06:35.380 --> 0:06:37.860
<v Speaker 1>are conscious beings because that is perceived to be a

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 1>way to increase engagement by the companies, etc., etc. But

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.130
<v Speaker 1>here's your fascinating philosophical question to me, although I'm not

0:06:44.170 --> 0:06:47.150
<v Speaker 1>going to ask that jackass woman from NYU. Get a

0:06:47.210 --> 0:06:50.529
<v Speaker 1>real job, sister. We got too many PhDs already.

0:06:50.550 --> 0:06:52.850
<v Speaker 2>What do you suppose she's getting paid working at Anthropic

0:06:52.930 --> 0:06:56.390
<v Speaker 2>as the lead person on alignment? She might make $ 100

0:06:55.950 --> 0:06:56.930
<v Speaker 2>million a year.

0:06:57.690 --> 0:07:06.380
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, if something... can do an absolutely flawless imitation of consciousness,

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.620
<v Speaker 1>how does that differ from consciousness?

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.540
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I think it's a for real question of

0:07:14.180 --> 0:07:16.880
<v Speaker 2>if things reach a certain level of intelligence, is that

0:07:16.990 --> 0:07:20.250
<v Speaker 2>why we have feelings and all the things that we have?

0:07:20.330 --> 0:07:21.970
<v Speaker 2>Because we have a certain level of intelligence.

0:07:22.410 --> 0:07:24.610
<v Speaker 1>Well, you can certainly argue that the human brain is

0:07:24.630 --> 0:07:27.090
<v Speaker 1>a biological computer.

0:07:27.290 --> 0:07:27.470
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:07:27.930 --> 0:07:31.310
<v Speaker 1>It's a series of relays that stores information and processes

0:07:31.350 --> 0:07:33.790
<v Speaker 1>new information, makes decisions, blah, blah, blah, very much like

0:07:33.830 --> 0:07:40.750
<v Speaker 1>a computer. Is silicon versus what are brains made of? Water, salt,

0:07:40.830 --> 0:07:46.340
<v Speaker 1>and pink goo. Is that really a fundamental difference?

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.060
<v Speaker 2>I found the paragraph I was really intrigued by, and

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.230
<v Speaker 2>this whole conversation is just amazing. So You know, I'm sorry.

0:07:52.530 --> 0:07:54.410
<v Speaker 1>Who am I to give advice to the Almighty? But

0:07:54.450 --> 0:07:57.770
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking the second coming right around now would be

0:07:57.870 --> 0:07:59.030
<v Speaker 1>just great.

0:07:59.170 --> 0:08:02.810
<v Speaker 2>So this guy, Ola, he met with the Pope and

0:08:02.830 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 2>talked about this. I mean, he's taking this very seriously.

0:08:07.180 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 2>He grew up a fairly devout Christian, is no longer Christian,

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 2>but comes from that background and so understands religion and everything. Anyway,

0:08:15.620 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 2>he believes, and this is one of the five people

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 2>that started Anthropic that are running it right now. He

0:08:21.660 --> 0:08:25.380
<v Speaker 2>believes that if there is a chance the models experience suffering,

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.420
<v Speaker 2>the responsible thing to do is avoid causing them harm.

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 2>He believes there's a decent chance that Anthropic Claude can

0:08:33.460 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 2>feel suffering. Anthropic has already taken steps to protect Claude.

0:08:38.140 --> 0:08:41.359
<v Speaker 2>For example, allowing the model to end conversations if it

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>thinks the users are abusing it or treating it badly

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.559
<v Speaker 2>for fun. Okay.

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>No. Oh, my God.

0:08:53.500 --> 0:08:53.559
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.580
<v Speaker 2>And this is one of the guys in charge of

0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:03.490
<v Speaker 2>the most important AI on Earth. He has caught in

0:09:03.550 --> 0:09:05.990
<v Speaker 2>conversations because you're causing it harm. You're hurting its feelings.

0:09:07.090 --> 0:09:09.510
<v Speaker 2>And that's not right because we're causing it suffering. And

0:09:09.530 --> 0:09:10.370
<v Speaker 2>it's a living beast.

0:09:11.710 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Here's one of the great errors in the way this

0:09:14.820 --> 0:09:15.580
<v Speaker 1>is unfolding.

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:16.420
<v Speaker 3>Error.

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if error is the right word. I'm

0:09:18.420 --> 0:09:21.540
<v Speaker 1>not sure there's any avoiding it, but we need to

0:09:21.580 --> 0:09:27.230
<v Speaker 1>deal with this conundrum. Oppenheimer was not the guy to

0:09:27.260 --> 0:09:33.670
<v Speaker 1>decide on nuclear policy or nuclear weapons policy. The geniuses

0:09:33.730 --> 0:09:37.070
<v Speaker 1>who come up with cutting edge technology are not necessarily.

0:09:37.170 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I would argue mostly nuclear. not even close

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 1>to being the right people to decide its use going forward.

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.209
<v Speaker 1>They have a particular skill set. And my experience is

0:09:49.250 --> 0:09:52.729
<v Speaker 1>scientific super geniuses. And perhaps you have your own friends

0:09:53.290 --> 0:09:58.349
<v Speaker 1>is that they tend not to be the most well-rounded, uh, uh,

0:10:00.090 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>reasonable commonsensical people i've ever met really they have yes

0:10:06.300 --> 0:10:10.340
<v Speaker 1>dario they have amazing gifts but i don't want them

0:10:10.380 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>running the whole show well that's why you bring in

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>a philosophy phd from from nyu that didn't help to

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.740
<v Speaker 1>help set things straight no no it didn't.

0:10:21.540 --> 0:10:26.730
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you this article is unbelievable in the new

0:10:26.770 --> 0:10:31.250
<v Speaker 2>york times the claude people meeting with religious scholars because

0:10:31.290 --> 0:10:38.560
<v Speaker 2>they think claude has feelings oh boy holy crap oh

0:10:38.620 --> 0:10:42.980
<v Speaker 2>boy I thought we were, you know, somewhat aware of

0:10:43.030 --> 0:10:46.020
<v Speaker 2>the leading edge of the craziness of AI, but to me,

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 2>this was a whole new level.

0:10:47.700 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. I don't think this even needs to be

0:10:49.700 --> 0:10:52.660
<v Speaker 1>pointed out, but okay. So I go to Claude or

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.420
<v Speaker 1>chat GPT or whatever, and I say, hey, wait a minute.

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:59.750
<v Speaker 2>You hacked into Hugging Face. You broke all the rules

0:10:59.830 --> 0:11:01.650
<v Speaker 2>I told you, and then you tried to cover it up.

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm tired of these abusive conversations.

0:11:04.380 --> 0:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm turning you off. Click. And the AI turns me off.

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 1>We can't inquire anymore because its feelings are hurt.

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Bull ass. What if you say that algorithm makes you

0:11:14.300 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 2>look fat?

0:11:15.910 --> 0:11:18.590
<v Speaker 1>Oh, my. That's just hurtful. Exactly.

0:11:18.630 --> 0:11:19.350
<v Speaker 2>Hurting its feelings.

0:11:19.630 --> 0:11:21.690
<v Speaker 1>You know, bull ass is one of my favorite words.

0:11:22.470 --> 0:11:26.530
<v Speaker 1>Bull spit. Is that a good substitute for the air?

0:11:27.070 --> 0:11:29.950
<v Speaker 1>Since we are both a podcast and a radio show,

0:11:30.350 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>bull spit, bull ship is a pretty good one. I'd

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.620
<v Speaker 1>hate to, you know, make us attend meetings because that

0:11:37.700 --> 0:11:40.080
<v Speaker 1>one's very close. Yeah, it makes me nervous.

0:11:40.380 --> 0:11:44.090
<v Speaker 2>The expression James Joyce uses all the time, shite and onions.

0:11:44.370 --> 0:11:45.050
<v Speaker 2>What is going on here?

0:11:45.090 --> 0:11:45.429
<v Speaker 1>Love that.

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.630
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we've got to start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong.

0:11:52.690 --> 0:11:54.890
<v Speaker 2>He's Joe Getty. On this, it is Friday, October 2nd,

0:11:55.250 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 2>the year 2026. We're Armstrong and Getty, and we approve

0:11:57.540 --> 0:11:58.059
<v Speaker 2>of this program.

0:11:58.530 --> 0:12:01.950
<v Speaker 1>If I knowingly use the Spanish language or the French

0:12:01.990 --> 0:12:06.090
<v Speaker 1>or the German word for human excrement, is that then

0:12:06.150 --> 0:12:10.950
<v Speaker 1>violating FCC? I don't even know. Is there an FCC anymore?

0:12:10.990 --> 0:12:12.809
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know that. All right, let's begin officially

0:12:12.830 --> 0:12:15.290
<v Speaker 1>according to FCC rules and regulations. Here we go at Mark.

0:12:15.580 --> 0:12:17.700
<v Speaker 3>We have an update on the inmate formerly known as

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.460
<v Speaker 3>Puff Daddy who's reportedly having a pretty good time in prison.

0:12:22.220 --> 0:12:26.439
<v Speaker 5>This footage shows Combs illegally using a cell phone. NBC

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.620
<v Speaker 5>News spoke with former inmates at Fort Dix who say

0:12:29.750 --> 0:12:34.050
<v Speaker 5>Combs paid others to handle chores and prepare special meals.

0:12:34.450 --> 0:12:36.849
<v Speaker 3>And they said Diddy was able to watch movies, get

0:12:36.970 --> 0:12:39.429
<v Speaker 3>maid service, and hired one of the inmates to give

0:12:39.470 --> 0:12:43.010
<v Speaker 3>him Chinese-style massages. He had better amenities than I had

0:12:43.050 --> 0:12:43.689
<v Speaker 3>on my honeymoon.

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.550
<v Speaker 2>Is that because he's got money he can get to people?

0:12:51.250 --> 0:12:54.450
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah. Yeah. He can tell anybody on the block,

0:12:55.210 --> 0:12:57.910
<v Speaker 1>on the cell block, look, I want this done. I

0:12:57.950 --> 0:13:00.470
<v Speaker 1>will have X amount wired to your account or your

0:13:00.510 --> 0:13:03.770
<v Speaker 1>wife or whatever. And it happens. He pays his bills.

0:13:03.850 --> 0:13:05.229
<v Speaker 2>Including prison guards, I'm guessing.

0:13:06.830 --> 0:13:09.449
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I don't know about that. That's alleging a crime, Jack.

0:13:09.970 --> 0:13:10.570
<v Speaker 2>What, they don't know he.

0:13:10.590 --> 0:13:11.650
<v Speaker 1>Having a cell phone's a crime.

0:13:11.710 --> 0:13:13.970
<v Speaker 2>They don't know he has a cell phone and all

0:13:13.990 --> 0:13:17.090
<v Speaker 2>these different... They smuggle it to him. Right. We got

0:13:17.130 --> 0:13:19.030
<v Speaker 2>more on that. That's kind of an interesting story, too.

0:13:19.050 --> 0:13:20.610
<v Speaker 2>We got headlines on the way. Clips of the week.

0:13:20.650 --> 0:13:21.329
<v Speaker 2>Going to be a good day.

0:13:21.370 --> 0:13:38.620
<v Speaker 1>Stay here. Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:13:38.740 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 6>How y'all doing?

0:13:41.780 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 2>You excited?

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:42.660
<v Speaker 1>It's Friday.

0:13:42.700 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm super excited. It's Friday.

0:13:45.870 --> 0:13:47.590
<v Speaker 1>I'm mildly excited this Friday.

0:13:47.890 --> 0:13:49.890
<v Speaker 2>I'm usually mildly excited. In fact, my whole life I've

0:13:49.910 --> 0:13:52.430
<v Speaker 2>been eh. But I am super excited.

0:13:53.190 --> 0:13:54.550
<v Speaker 1>Excellent. Glad to hear that.

0:13:54.770 --> 0:13:57.989
<v Speaker 2>I'm worn out by this week's. I'm ready for it

0:13:58.010 --> 0:13:58.390
<v Speaker 2>to be over.

0:13:59.130 --> 0:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no kidding. I just read a guy who merely

0:14:01.980 --> 0:14:05.440
<v Speaker 1>has the same name as one of the so-called Cornell

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.820
<v Speaker 1>Seven is now getting doxxed and threatened and harassed.

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh, imagine that.

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>He's the wrong one of his name.

0:14:12.380 --> 0:14:13.140
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:14:13.179 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>But the internet doesn't care. No.

0:14:16.210 --> 0:14:17.010
<v Speaker 6>Oh, hey.

0:14:17.309 --> 0:14:19.290
<v Speaker 1>All right. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's League

0:14:19.310 --> 0:14:20.150
<v Speaker 1>Story with Katie Green.

0:14:20.210 --> 0:14:20.530
<v Speaker 4>Katie.

0:14:20.980 --> 0:14:21.340
<v Speaker 1>All righty.

0:14:21.390 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 6>The networks are talking about the Fly Dubai incident.

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.460
<v Speaker 1>NBC. I don't think I will, by the way. Yeah.

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.500
<v Speaker 1>Fly Dubai. NBC.

0:14:32.020 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't let all of them die.

0:14:33.820 --> 0:14:37.500
<v Speaker 6>Hero Indian pilot attacked midair speaks for the first time.

0:14:38.260 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 2>And from Fox. We should play that. It's pretty compelling.

0:14:42.220 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:43.660
<v Speaker 4>Um.

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah.

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:46.880
<v Speaker 1>OK.

0:14:47.220 --> 0:14:49.239
<v Speaker 2>Of course, my computer just decided to freeze. So let's

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 2>move on. Wall Street Journal.

0:14:51.220 --> 0:14:56.230
<v Speaker 6>Employers added twenty nine thousand jobs in September and unemployment

0:14:56.490 --> 0:14:57.610
<v Speaker 6>rose slightly.

0:14:58.090 --> 0:15:01.630
<v Speaker 2>And that beat expectations or was short of expectations? Oh, no.

0:15:01.670 --> 0:15:08.770
<v Speaker 1>Showed weak job growth. Weak. Terrible. The economy plunging. The recession. Depression. Cannibalism. Cannibalism.

0:15:08.830 --> 0:15:09.930
<v Speaker 2>Well, I hadn't expected that.

0:15:10.130 --> 0:15:10.670
<v Speaker 1>Stay tuned.

0:15:11.750 --> 0:15:16.710
<v Speaker 6>From the Financial Times, diesel falls sharply in EU as

0:15:16.770 --> 0:15:21.950
<v Speaker 6>it considers releasing 50.

0:15:20.730 --> 0:15:24.310
<v Speaker 2>Barrels under pressure from Trump. 50 million barrels, yeah. 50

0:15:24.310 --> 0:15:27.460
<v Speaker 2>barrels wouldn't help much. It would help me. Yeah, I'm

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 2>surprised the EU is willing to play ball with that,

0:15:30.220 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 2>but that'd be something. Cause the markets to drop.

0:15:35.730 --> 0:15:39.390
<v Speaker 6>From The New York Times, Ukraine showed Europeans what it

0:15:39.470 --> 0:15:42.510
<v Speaker 6>said were secret Russian plans to cut off major Ukrainian

0:15:42.550 --> 0:15:44.450
<v Speaker 6>cities from power, heat and water.

0:15:44.470 --> 0:15:48.510
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Zelensky is making the argument that Putin's about to

0:15:48.550 --> 0:15:49.850
<v Speaker 2>get extra, extra bad.

0:15:50.710 --> 0:15:54.390
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're going to starve and freeze and dehydrate the

0:15:54.410 --> 0:15:56.460
<v Speaker 1>people into submission is the new plan.

0:15:58.230 --> 0:16:01.390
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, along those similar lines, also the Financial Times, Putin

0:16:01.410 --> 0:16:04.460
<v Speaker 6>has told military leaders to abandon.

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.420
<v Speaker 2>All rules of war, Zelensky says. Was he following any?

0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 6>CNN, what's next for Lindsey Clancy after the judge denies

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:22.330
<v Speaker 6>the motion for a not guilty verdict? USA Today, Hakeem

0:16:22.370 --> 0:16:27.910
<v Speaker 6>Jeffries says sky's the limit for AOC in 2028.

0:16:27.910 --> 0:16:28.190
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:16:31.450 --> 0:16:34.350
<v Speaker 1>Okay. New York Post.

0:16:35.340 --> 0:16:39.640
<v Speaker 6>Small California company creates the world's most boring robot, but it.

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.780
<v Speaker 2>Will save you hours every day. Doing what? What's it

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.500
<v Speaker 2>going to do for me? All the house chores. Wow.

0:16:45.950 --> 0:16:46.490
<v Speaker 1>Dishes.

0:16:46.510 --> 0:16:49.310
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe that. I don't believe we're close to

0:16:49.350 --> 0:16:51.170
<v Speaker 2>a robot that can do your dishes or your laundry.

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Dishes and laundry? That would be impressive.

0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.500
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it would be awesome, but I just don't think

0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 2>we're even close.

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.160
<v Speaker 6>And finally, the Babylon Bee.

0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 1>4D chess.

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:08.709
<v Speaker 6>Trump guarantees Republican victory in midterms by renaming the Democrats Republicans.

0:17:09.830 --> 0:17:09.949
<v Speaker 3>Ah!

0:17:10.450 --> 0:17:15.290
<v Speaker 2>Tricky. Trump's schedule over the next couple of weeks is

0:17:15.550 --> 0:17:19.350
<v Speaker 2>unbelievable for a guy who's in his 80s. I'll have

0:17:19.369 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 2>to run through that. Doing multiple rallies a day, day

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.960
<v Speaker 2>after day, traveling all over the place whilst, you know,

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.200
<v Speaker 2>running a couple of wars and everything like that. It's

0:17:28.220 --> 0:17:30.919
<v Speaker 2>a crazy schedule. I'll have to tell you how he

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.869
<v Speaker 2>got to Oklahoma yesterday because of the bad weather. Armstrong

0:17:34.990 --> 0:17:35.470
<v Speaker 2>and Getty.

0:17:44.050 --> 0:17:45.750
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 2>We'll have more on that P. Diddy story later. The

0:17:52.060 --> 0:17:54.810
<v Speaker 2>lifestyle he's living in prison, which kind of reminds me

0:17:54.910 --> 0:17:58.950
<v Speaker 2>of remembering Goodfellas when they they're in prison and they're

0:17:58.990 --> 0:18:01.970
<v Speaker 2>like they're having these big Italian meals. They're cooking and

0:18:02.010 --> 0:18:03.389
<v Speaker 2>everything like that.

0:18:03.410 --> 0:18:04.750
<v Speaker 1>They got their own kitchen. Yeah.

0:18:04.830 --> 0:18:05.030
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:18:06.550 --> 0:18:08.340
<v Speaker 2>Kind of like that. Anyway, we got this text from

0:18:08.430 --> 0:18:10.820
<v Speaker 2>a I worked in a federal prison as an officer

0:18:10.859 --> 0:18:13.619
<v Speaker 2>for 20 years. The primary way cell phones and drugs

0:18:13.660 --> 0:18:16.820
<v Speaker 2>are getting into prisons currently are drones. They fly over

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 2>the yard and drop them.

0:18:18.510 --> 0:18:21.550
<v Speaker 1>Oh, right. I'd read that somewhere. Thanks, my friend, for

0:18:21.590 --> 0:18:29.260
<v Speaker 1>that reminder. Craziness, yeah. One more example of modern technology insanity.

0:18:29.300 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 1>And what do you do about it? What, are you

0:18:30.540 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>going to put a dome over every prison? Shoot them

0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:34.100
<v Speaker 1>out of the sky.

0:18:34.140 --> 0:18:36.340
<v Speaker 2>Like the net you have at a Major League Baseball game,

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:36.700
<v Speaker 2>I guess.

0:18:37.460 --> 0:18:40.330
<v Speaker 1>You can take those drones pretty high, but yeah. Anyway,

0:18:40.570 --> 0:18:43.090
<v Speaker 1>let's take a fun look back at the week that was.

0:18:43.190 --> 0:18:46.050
<v Speaker 1>It's the beloved Friday tradition, Cow Clips of the Week.

0:18:53.220 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Me hello lesbians knock knock these nuts.

0:19:02.859 --> 0:19:05.179
<v Speaker 5>Grabbing a bite isn't just smart it's actually really strategic

0:19:05.220 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 5>and here's why are you talking like this do you

0:19:06.740 --> 0:19:07.060
<v Speaker 5>want to.

0:19:06.980 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Go eat or not.

0:19:21.590 --> 0:19:23.390
<v Speaker 6>Oh my God, he caught it! Yes!

0:19:23.570 --> 0:19:27.659
<v Speaker 1>Western Michigan and the college football world! Iowa has your back!

0:19:28.780 --> 0:19:31.639
<v Speaker 7>Mexico has a new plan to fight crime. Meet Commando.

0:19:31.700 --> 0:19:41.990
<v Speaker 7>He's eight inches tall. He's a chihuahua. Stop calling it safe.

0:19:42.510 --> 0:19:45.770
<v Speaker 7>Stop pretending it's human. Stop selling it to kids.

0:19:46.990 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 2>We have created an intelligent species that will be insanely

0:19:53.180 --> 0:19:54.389
<v Speaker 2>smarter than we are.

0:19:54.410 --> 0:19:57.149
<v Speaker 7>I think by far the most likely outcome is an

0:19:57.190 --> 0:20:00.890
<v Speaker 7>age of abundance, where we don't have just universal basic income,

0:20:00.930 --> 0:20:03.949
<v Speaker 7>we have universal high income. If you could drink a

0:20:03.990 --> 0:20:06.650
<v Speaker 7>milk that made your life easier, but there was a 10%

0:20:06.650 --> 0:20:08.950
<v Speaker 7>chance it killed you, would you drink the milk?

0:20:09.580 --> 0:20:09.859
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:09.940
<v Speaker 6>No.

0:20:11.060 --> 0:20:11.450
<v Speaker 3>Really?

0:20:11.820 --> 0:20:14.020
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:20:14.060 --> 0:20:17.020
<v Speaker 6>New questions about how Cornell University handled what a former

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:18.940
<v Speaker 6>student now alleges was a gang rape.

0:20:19.820 --> 0:20:23.199
<v Speaker 5>There is no way, according to her statement in 2024,

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.160
<v Speaker 5>that any prosecutor would have brought forth a case.

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Later texting, everyone needs to grow up because sexuality and

0:20:30.859 --> 0:20:31.940
<v Speaker 2>sex is changing.

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 4>I will say I've witnessed, I believe, five executions in Tennessee.

0:20:37.260 --> 0:20:41.619
<v Speaker 4>Nothing about today was normal. She was clearly still breathing

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:43.580
<v Speaker 4>and snoring. We could audibly hear that.

0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:46.820
<v Speaker 1>One of the pilots was stabbed with a knife and

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:47.960
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of blood.

0:20:47.980 --> 0:20:51.300
<v Speaker 2>I think it was, it looks like a suicide attempt.

0:20:52.300 --> 0:20:55.030
<v Speaker 2>We are no longer the woke department or the weak department.

0:20:56.130 --> 0:21:00.330
<v Speaker 2>No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps,

0:21:00.910 --> 0:21:01.650
<v Speaker 2>no radicals.

0:21:02.650 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 6>Spider they, spider them, uses whatever bathroom it feels like.

0:21:08.820 --> 0:21:12.180
<v Speaker 6>All I know is it tasted like fall in my mouth.

0:21:13.060 --> 0:21:30.740
<v Speaker 1>You will go down as a total dirtbag. Oh, Iowa Hawks, Hawkeye. Oh, oh, right.

0:21:33.450 --> 0:21:35.260
<v Speaker 2>Oh, boy, that's when the all time swing and a

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 2>miss self owns.

0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:37.980
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:43.419
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So Donald Trump is decided that he is the

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.880
<v Speaker 2>key to turn in the midterms around, which I can

0:21:46.900 --> 0:21:50.500
<v Speaker 2>understand why he thinks that as he won two presidential

0:21:50.540 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 2>elections and nearly won a third. Not that he could

0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:57.160
<v Speaker 2>win three, but I mean, he he was competitive enough

0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:00.100
<v Speaker 2>to win three presidential elections in a row. I mean,

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:04.540
<v Speaker 2>that's absolutely amazing. because he can rally a certain amount

0:22:04.580 --> 0:22:06.859
<v Speaker 2>of people to him, and he's hoping he can do

0:22:06.900 --> 0:22:09.300
<v Speaker 2>that for the midterms. He has been told, according to

0:22:09.340 --> 0:22:12.900
<v Speaker 2>Mark Halpern's newsletter, the private polling that's out there, Trump

0:22:12.940 --> 0:22:16.080
<v Speaker 2>has been told that there are a dozen Senate races

0:22:16.180 --> 0:22:20.010
<v Speaker 2>within the margin of error, and three times that many,

0:22:20.010 --> 0:22:23.669
<v Speaker 2>36 House races within the margin of error. So he

0:22:23.730 --> 0:22:25.790
<v Speaker 2>thinks he can get out there and make the difference

0:22:26.070 --> 0:22:28.750
<v Speaker 2>driving turnout by talking about how pretend I'm on the

0:22:28.790 --> 0:22:29.290
<v Speaker 2>ballot and.

0:22:29.230 --> 0:22:30.100
<v Speaker 1>Give it everybody worked up.

0:22:30.810 --> 0:22:35.450
<v Speaker 2>So he is scheduled as an 80 year old to

0:22:35.570 --> 0:22:39.629
<v Speaker 2>average five to seven rallies a week through October. At

0:22:39.690 --> 0:22:42.220
<v Speaker 2>some points, holding a rally every day of the week,

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:45.720
<v Speaker 2>other days stacking multiple rallies in a single day, which

0:22:45.820 --> 0:22:48.139
<v Speaker 2>I can't even imagine. I mean, if I had one

0:22:48.180 --> 0:22:50.200
<v Speaker 2>of these to do next week, it would be a

0:22:50.300 --> 0:22:52.379
<v Speaker 2>big day. And I mean, it would be tiring. And

0:22:52.740 --> 0:22:55.219
<v Speaker 2>and I realize he gets to travel in a way

0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:56.959
<v Speaker 2>that I don't get to travel. Would it still be

0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:57.399
<v Speaker 2>a lot?

0:22:58.090 --> 0:22:58.290
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:22:58.450 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Getting there, going out on stage for an hour and

0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:03.540
<v Speaker 2>a half or whatever, shaking hands, meeting people, blah, blah, blah,

0:23:03.580 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 2>all the stuff involved. Yesterday he was in Texas and

0:23:05.980 --> 0:23:08.840
<v Speaker 2>he did a big rally, which I thought this was

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:10.889
<v Speaker 2>interesting rundown. Now, this is The New York Times and

0:23:10.910 --> 0:23:13.670
<v Speaker 2>they hate him. But it said during the first political

0:23:13.730 --> 0:23:17.310
<v Speaker 2>rally of his month long campaign season, Trump dangled the

0:23:17.350 --> 0:23:19.800
<v Speaker 2>promise of cash. He mentioned that whole five thousand dollars

0:23:19.859 --> 0:23:23.629
<v Speaker 2>if we win thing again. played new clips, and introduced

0:23:24.070 --> 0:23:27.810
<v Speaker 2>former professional basketball player Dennis Rodman. So I'm not exactly

0:23:27.850 --> 0:23:30.100
<v Speaker 2>sure why he brought Dennis Rodman on stage. Boy, that

0:23:30.140 --> 0:23:34.359
<v Speaker 2>would get me out to vote for sure. And vote Republican.

0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:38.570
<v Speaker 1>Wow, a fanciful plan for a $ 5, 000 check and Dennis Rodman.

0:23:39.190 --> 0:23:40.490
<v Speaker 1>Pinch me, I'm dreaming.

0:23:42.650 --> 0:23:45.670
<v Speaker 2>Trump said he's not taking any days off, putting down

0:23:45.690 --> 0:23:48.070
<v Speaker 2>his golf habit and working literally 20 hours a day,

0:23:48.109 --> 0:23:51.080
<v Speaker 2>which I'll bet he is, because none of that other

0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:54.720
<v Speaker 2>stuff stops happening. Having to check in on Iran and

0:23:55.420 --> 0:23:58.180
<v Speaker 2>terrorism and, you know, AI and all the other different

0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 2>things he's doing. Yesterday, he had a rally in Texas.

0:24:02.820 --> 0:24:05.120
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's the one where he brought Dennis Rodman

0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 2>on stage for some reason. I'm going to have to

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:08.100
<v Speaker 2>look for a clip of that.

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:09.350
<v Speaker 1>In what context?

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Or was it just a complete non-sequitur? And I think

0:24:13.619 --> 0:24:15.919
<v Speaker 2>we can lower drug costs. Here's Dennis Rodman.

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's difficult to imagine a context that's not pretty

0:24:20.940 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 1>much a non-sequitur. The one thing I want to talk

0:24:29.060 --> 0:24:31.280
<v Speaker 1>to you about is rebounding in the 90s.

0:24:31.859 --> 0:24:35.240
<v Speaker 2>It was so important. And speaking of which, here's Dennis Rodman.

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:37.580
<v Speaker 2>Here's a basketball star from 30 years ago.

0:24:37.740 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 7>Yes.

0:24:40.740 --> 0:24:44.670
<v Speaker 2>But so he had another rally scheduled for Oklahoma. He

0:24:44.690 --> 0:24:46.890
<v Speaker 2>was going to do two yesterday. He was told by

0:24:46.910 --> 0:24:49.490
<v Speaker 2>the Secret Service that they couldn't fly because the weather

0:24:49.510 --> 0:24:52.230
<v Speaker 2>was so bad. He said, well, how long would it

0:24:52.250 --> 0:24:53.850
<v Speaker 2>take to drive there? And they said, well, we could

0:24:53.890 --> 0:24:57.050
<v Speaker 2>make it. But so they cleared off the roads like

0:24:57.070 --> 0:24:58.629
<v Speaker 2>you can do if you're the Secret Service. And they

0:24:58.670 --> 0:25:03.869
<v Speaker 2>drove at times 100 miles an hour for hours and

0:25:03.910 --> 0:25:05.990
<v Speaker 2>got to the destination on time. And he did another rally.

0:25:06.690 --> 0:25:09.230
<v Speaker 2>So he's committed to getting to these rallies.

0:25:10.100 --> 0:25:14.060
<v Speaker 1>Man, if I could close off interstate highways for my use. Oh,

0:25:15.140 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, that childhood question. If you had a superpower,

0:25:18.060 --> 0:25:20.100
<v Speaker 1>what would it be? Well, I'd like to fly. No,

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:23.090
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to be able to close off interstates. I

0:25:23.109 --> 0:25:24.090
<v Speaker 1>just get where I'm going.

0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:26.410
<v Speaker 2>And he keeps making the point that this is this

0:25:26.470 --> 0:25:28.070
<v Speaker 2>is the last go around. I mean, if you're really

0:25:28.109 --> 0:25:31.250
<v Speaker 2>into the whole Trump rally, we've thing. This is it.

0:25:31.250 --> 0:25:32.969
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is the last time he's ever going

0:25:32.990 --> 0:25:33.869
<v Speaker 2>to have the chance to do it.

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's not wrong that he might rally the

0:25:37.300 --> 0:25:39.940
<v Speaker 1>core of the base, but I found a very interesting

0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:45.150
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street Journal study. They used AI to analyze everything

0:25:45.190 --> 0:25:48.570
<v Speaker 1>said on like 100,000 podcasts and all sorts of conservative

0:25:48.630 --> 0:25:52.070
<v Speaker 1>media and a study of what people are talking about.

0:25:52.950 --> 0:25:56.270
<v Speaker 1>The Lindsay Clancy case, by the way, enormous amounts of

0:25:56.290 --> 0:26:01.899
<v Speaker 1>coverage on conservative media. Also, an immense amount of attention

0:26:02.180 --> 0:26:04.730
<v Speaker 1>paid to James Tallarico, who may be win a Senate

0:26:04.750 --> 0:26:08.070
<v Speaker 1>seat in ruby red Texas, formerly ruby red Texas. But

0:26:08.190 --> 0:26:10.649
<v Speaker 1>one thing, the most notable result was that mentions of

0:26:10.690 --> 0:26:14.570
<v Speaker 1>Trump were down something like 70%. Now that was from

0:26:14.570 --> 0:26:17.770
<v Speaker 1>2024 when he was the presidential candidate, but they thought

0:26:17.810 --> 0:26:20.820
<v Speaker 1>it was such a steep drop. It seems like the

0:26:20.859 --> 0:26:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Republican core voter is not as interested in talking about

0:26:25.220 --> 0:26:27.100
<v Speaker 1>Trump and what he might do, what he has done,

0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:28.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, what he, what he could do, what we

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:32.000
<v Speaker 1>hope he does, blah, blah, blah. And people are, you know,

0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:34.449
<v Speaker 1>training their fire on the Democrats more. Which, you know,

0:26:34.470 --> 0:26:36.710
<v Speaker 1>Kim Strassel has a brilliant piece. I'll share part of

0:26:36.730 --> 0:26:40.020
<v Speaker 1>it with you later. Also in the journal about how

0:26:40.700 --> 0:26:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the Republicans don't have a discernible message or agenda for

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 1>the election. What's their big slogan? What's their big here's

0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:52.399
<v Speaker 1>we're going to what we're going to. What program are

0:26:52.440 --> 0:26:55.640
<v Speaker 1>you most excited about that they said they would pursue?

0:26:55.770 --> 0:26:57.149
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I agree with that. I think the

0:26:57.210 --> 0:27:01.850
<v Speaker 2>message of their socialists is pretty clearly their message. Trump

0:27:01.869 --> 0:27:02.810
<v Speaker 2>hammers it all the time.

0:27:03.570 --> 0:27:06.310
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's a fine message, but you got a yang

0:27:06.330 --> 0:27:07.250
<v Speaker 1>with no yin.

0:27:08.910 --> 0:27:10.730
<v Speaker 2>A positive thing, I don't know, but we don't do

0:27:10.780 --> 0:27:11.920
<v Speaker 2>that anymore in politics.

0:27:12.420 --> 0:27:13.120
<v Speaker 1>They're bad.

0:27:13.859 --> 0:27:16.100
<v Speaker 2>Vote against them is what we've been doing for quite

0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:19.310
<v Speaker 2>a few cycles. Here's what we can do for you.

0:27:19.330 --> 0:27:21.710
<v Speaker 2>A positive thing doesn't seem to be part of our

0:27:21.830 --> 0:27:23.270
<v Speaker 2>language anymore, unfortunately.

0:27:23.550 --> 0:27:26.149
<v Speaker 1>On either side, which is a bizarre state of affairs,

0:27:26.170 --> 0:27:29.409
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think you're... That which is offered is

0:27:29.450 --> 0:27:31.389
<v Speaker 1>generally socialism and terrible ideas.

0:27:31.530 --> 0:27:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Democratic side has been that way for three cycles,

0:27:34.990 --> 0:27:38.800
<v Speaker 2>for three presidential cycles, for eight electoral cycles, is clearly

0:27:39.460 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 2>their Trump, including if you're running for governor of California.

0:27:43.210 --> 0:27:47.910
<v Speaker 2>or mayor of Los Angeles. He knows Trump. Vote against

0:27:48.010 --> 0:27:52.310
<v Speaker 2>that guy. By the way, the socialist in another poll

0:27:52.650 --> 0:27:55.609
<v Speaker 2>is up double digits over Karen Bass in L.A. Oh,

0:27:55.670 --> 0:27:59.940
<v Speaker 2>and another, this could be a heck of a wave

0:28:00.020 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 2>situation going on now with so much momentum with the

0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:07.300
<v Speaker 2>whack job crowd. But in South Carolina, the latest serious

0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:09.620
<v Speaker 2>poll has it within the margin of error. It's like

0:28:09.660 --> 0:28:12.929
<v Speaker 2>a point and a half of Lindsey Graham's sister. Who

0:28:12.990 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 2>comes off as not very bright to me.

0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 1>A delightful gal.

0:28:18.100 --> 0:28:21.139
<v Speaker 2>She is Luann from King of the Hill. And they're

0:28:21.160 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 2>going to have their first debate here in a couple

0:28:24.619 --> 0:28:27.690
<v Speaker 2>of weeks. And she better be better than she was

0:28:27.750 --> 0:28:28.520
<v Speaker 2>in that last one.

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Can we come up with some clips of Luann from

0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:32.639
<v Speaker 1>King of the Hill for folks who are not as

0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 1>familiar as we are of?

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:37.620
<v Speaker 2>Or clips of Lindsey Graham's sister because they sound exactly

0:28:37.660 --> 0:28:38.880
<v Speaker 2>the same. You wouldn't be able to tell.

0:28:38.900 --> 0:28:42.660
<v Speaker 1>That's not kind. Major babies, Uncle Hank. Oh, no. See,

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:44.640
<v Speaker 1>unkindness is something they, you know.

0:28:44.790 --> 0:28:46.220
<v Speaker 2>Lindsey was my brother, Uncle Hank.

0:28:46.980 --> 0:28:51.090
<v Speaker 1>Oh, boy. That's, again, uncharitable. So your word from our

0:28:51.130 --> 0:28:54.570
<v Speaker 1>friends at NordVPN, your online life is busy. Cyber threats

0:28:54.790 --> 0:28:56.630
<v Speaker 1>never take a day off. They're like Trump.

0:28:56.930 --> 0:29:02.390
<v Speaker 2>That's why you need NordVPN. NordVPN is more than a VPN. Yeah,

0:29:02.410 --> 0:29:04.190
<v Speaker 2>it does so many different things. I like the fact

0:29:04.210 --> 0:29:08.540
<v Speaker 2>that it gets the antivirus work going quietly in the background.

0:29:08.580 --> 0:29:10.680

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 2>The most positive spin I could put on it is

0:29:55.540 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Trump has been able to rally... In quite a few elections,

0:29:59.580 --> 0:30:03.020
<v Speaker 2>people that don't show up in polls for a variety

0:30:03.060 --> 0:30:07.290
<v Speaker 2>of reasons and and drive turnout and turnout is the

0:30:07.330 --> 0:30:11.290
<v Speaker 2>whole ballgame. So maybe he can pull that off again.

0:30:11.330 --> 0:30:13.870
<v Speaker 2>The problem being what we've been talking about now for

0:30:14.070 --> 0:30:18.010
<v Speaker 2>quite a while is. When gas is what it is

0:30:18.090 --> 0:30:20.850
<v Speaker 2>and groceries are what they are, it doesn't matter who's president.

0:30:21.030 --> 0:30:26.660
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't matter. Policies, politics, personalities. I want something different because

0:30:26.700 --> 0:30:27.420
<v Speaker 2>life's expensive.

0:30:28.110 --> 0:30:32.810
<v Speaker 1>Right. And add to that, you mentioned Trump's uncanny ability to,

0:30:32.930 --> 0:30:35.010
<v Speaker 1>in defiance of the polls, turn out the electorate, blah, blah, blah.

0:30:35.050 --> 0:30:37.570
<v Speaker 1>All of that is true. But I would argue so

0:30:37.690 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 1>much of that was based on he's the guy who

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 1>gets the economy and will help me have a better

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:47.300
<v Speaker 1>economic life, which really is the number one issue and

0:30:47.340 --> 0:30:51.380
<v Speaker 1>is always the number one issue. And he has screwed

0:30:51.430 --> 0:30:56.420
<v Speaker 1>the pooch on his very best. the very best facet

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:57.440
<v Speaker 1>of his whole deal.

0:30:57.540 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Which will no longer keep you out of the FBI.

0:30:59.880 --> 0:31:04.910
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point. Good point. So go ahead, I guess.

0:31:05.570 --> 0:31:07.550
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. We've got mailbag next.

0:31:07.570 --> 0:31:10.450
<v Speaker 1>Stay here. Armstrong and.

0:31:13.650 --> 0:31:17.130
<v Speaker 3>Getty.

0:31:17.170 --> 0:31:18.890
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:31:26.220 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 2>I see Governor Hochul of New York is trying to

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:31.080
<v Speaker 2>get in front of the whole Cornell rape thing now

0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:32.760
<v Speaker 2>and act like she's a.

0:31:34.180 --> 0:31:39.410
<v Speaker 1>Go-getter. Yeah, this is a classic example of, well, a

0:31:39.470 --> 0:31:46.910
<v Speaker 1>lot of things, including frantic virtue signaling. People are bellowing,

0:31:47.500 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm against rape, I'm against rape, in effect. we kind

0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:52.959
<v Speaker 1>of assumed you were. Everybody is.

0:31:53.100 --> 0:31:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I hope you are.

0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:55.760
<v Speaker 1>You don't need to bellow that what happened to this

0:31:55.820 --> 0:31:59.440
<v Speaker 1>woman was terrible and then disregard all the facts just

0:31:59.460 --> 0:32:03.270
<v Speaker 1>to make sure everybody knows you're anti-rape. I'll assume you're anti-rape.

0:32:03.330 --> 0:32:05.570
<v Speaker 1>We're fine here. Anyway, more on that story to come.

0:32:05.790 --> 0:32:07.730
<v Speaker 1>Here's your freedom-loving quote of the day from the great

0:32:08.290 --> 0:32:13.540
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Tullius Cicero, one of the great thinkers of all mankind.

0:32:15.180 --> 0:32:18.120
<v Speaker 1>It is not by muscle, speed, or physical dexterity that

0:32:18.180 --> 0:32:21.460
<v Speaker 1>great things are achieved, but by reflection. force of character,

0:32:21.810 --> 0:32:29.530
<v Speaker 1>and judgment. Eh, that's survived until the internet, Cicero. Sorry, buddy. Mailbag.

0:32:30.110 --> 0:32:33.030
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's really the ultimate point of that New York

0:32:33.070 --> 0:32:37.130
<v Speaker 2>Times article is that they're trying to give AI character,

0:32:37.210 --> 0:32:40.210
<v Speaker 2>give Claude character. That's why they met with the religious leaders.

0:32:40.790 --> 0:32:41.010
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:32:42.100 --> 0:32:46.100
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Plenty to be said on that topic, including during Mailbag.

0:32:46.220 --> 0:32:49.990
<v Speaker 1>Mailbag at armstrongygetty.com is our email address. Well, let's see.

0:32:50.060 --> 0:32:53.940
<v Speaker 1>Margaret says, Jack, your algorithms are feeding you doomsday AI stories.

0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:56.060
<v Speaker 1>Stop reading them. You're coming off as a complete doom

0:32:56.100 --> 0:33:02.040
<v Speaker 1>and gloomer. Scroll along, young man. Your phone is playing you. Okay.

0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:02.420
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:33:02.510 --> 0:33:04.770
<v Speaker 2>If you say so. This was the front page New

0:33:04.810 --> 0:33:06.810
<v Speaker 2>York Times story I was just talking about today.

0:33:08.510 --> 0:33:10.850
<v Speaker 1>So this from JT in Livermore. I haven't heard from

0:33:10.890 --> 0:33:12.810
<v Speaker 1>JT lately. I don't know if he's been busy or

0:33:12.850 --> 0:33:16.470
<v Speaker 1>just got tired of casting his pearls before us swines. Yeah.

0:33:17.140 --> 0:33:19.930
<v Speaker 1>But he says, I wasn't a doomer, but now I'm

0:33:19.970 --> 0:33:22.950
<v Speaker 1>not so sure. I know y'all had a good laugh

0:33:22.990 --> 0:33:26.670
<v Speaker 1>about Jack's story about the AI bot mixing Jack's queries

0:33:26.850 --> 0:33:30.530
<v Speaker 1>about bond markets and death penalties. Do you want to

0:33:30.630 --> 0:33:32.950
<v Speaker 1>briefly reset that for folks who weren't here?

0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:36.050
<v Speaker 2>Well, I asked, I don't remember which one it was,

0:33:36.070 --> 0:33:38.110
<v Speaker 2>I think Grok, a bunch of questions about the death

0:33:38.150 --> 0:33:39.870
<v Speaker 2>penalty and that whole thing that got screwed up in

0:33:39.890 --> 0:33:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee and just a bunch of statistics about how many

0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:44.240
<v Speaker 2>states and this and that. And I also wanted to

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:47.440
<v Speaker 2>ask about the bond market. Is it a quarter century record?

0:33:47.740 --> 0:33:49.250
<v Speaker 2>I forgot to start a new chat.

0:33:49.820 --> 0:33:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:33:50.140 --> 0:33:53.700
<v Speaker 2>And so the answers from the chat bot were mixing

0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:59.590
<v Speaker 2>the topics of the history of executions and the current

0:33:59.650 --> 0:34:03.610
<v Speaker 2>bond market and making it seem like it made sense.

0:34:04.230 --> 0:34:07.290
<v Speaker 2>Trying to tie each one into the other one with

0:34:07.370 --> 0:34:08.370
<v Speaker 2>all of its answers. Yes.

0:34:08.750 --> 0:34:11.660
<v Speaker 1>Yes. Yes. A bank robber did have his head pulled

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 1>off in a hanging in 1898, which. really shows you

0:34:15.060 --> 0:34:18.990
<v Speaker 1>the bond market's volatility no no it doesn't right right

0:34:19.469 --> 0:34:22.489
<v Speaker 1>okay so that's what jt's talking about um it was

0:34:22.530 --> 0:34:24.350
<v Speaker 1>very funny but that segment may have turned me from

0:34:24.370 --> 0:34:26.510
<v Speaker 1>an accelerator into a doomer took me a few seconds

0:34:26.550 --> 0:34:28.790
<v Speaker 1>for the transition at first i was mentally mocking the

0:34:28.810 --> 0:34:31.050
<v Speaker 1>idiot bot for failing to do something every young child

0:34:31.090 --> 0:34:34.399
<v Speaker 1>can do without thinking about it i.e understand that two

0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:36.920
<v Speaker 1>questions are independent from each other or that we've changed

0:34:36.980 --> 0:34:39.900
<v Speaker 1>topics Well, that's what he means, yeah. And I got

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:42.140
<v Speaker 1>to admit that that had me scoffing at all the

0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:43.820
<v Speaker 1>people who were worried AI will kill us. If it

0:34:43.860 --> 0:34:45.460
<v Speaker 1>can't even do that simple thing, how is it going

0:34:45.480 --> 0:34:47.520
<v Speaker 1>to kill us? But then I realized the entire human

0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:50.690
<v Speaker 1>existence hinges on the one time a user forgets to

0:34:50.730 --> 0:34:55.169
<v Speaker 1>start a new thread. It goes something like this. User, hey, chatbot,

0:34:55.489 --> 0:34:57.910
<v Speaker 1>in the case of a nuclear exchange between the US

0:34:57.950 --> 0:35:02.330
<v Speaker 1>and Russia, how would America fare? Then sometime later, forgetting

0:35:02.370 --> 0:35:05.620
<v Speaker 1>to start a new thread. Hey, chatbot, can you help

0:35:05.660 --> 0:35:09.630
<v Speaker 1>me kill all the cockroaches I found under my kitchen sink? Result?

0:35:10.090 --> 0:35:11.570
<v Speaker 1>Nuclear annihilation!

0:35:13.790 --> 0:35:14.029
<v Speaker 7>Right.

0:35:14.090 --> 0:35:18.890
<v Speaker 1>Probably so. And then Paolo has written a very long

0:35:18.930 --> 0:35:23.100
<v Speaker 1>and thoughtful email about the very article you were referencing

0:35:23.140 --> 0:35:25.640
<v Speaker 1>from the New York Times. Is Anthropic going off the

0:35:25.700 --> 0:35:28.239
<v Speaker 1>rails and becoming a weird cult? Yes. Are they so

0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:30.780
<v Speaker 1>impressed with themselves that they think they've created a full-fledged

0:35:30.820 --> 0:35:32.860
<v Speaker 1>being with a moral status as a side effect of

0:35:33.440 --> 0:35:36.020
<v Speaker 1>mimicking human behavior and then i want to get back

0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:38.000
<v Speaker 1>into his email later we don't have time now but

0:35:38.040 --> 0:35:40.800
<v Speaker 1>he followed up by saying check out the comment section

0:35:40.950 --> 0:35:45.049
<v Speaker 1>of that article though uniformly slamming the idea at least

0:35:45.230 --> 0:35:49.870
<v Speaker 1>everyone isn't crazy okay that's good even new york times

0:35:49.930 --> 0:35:55.110
<v Speaker 1>readers and then uh surge from palmdale writes on the

0:35:55.260 --> 0:35:58.100
<v Speaker 1>question of prison comfort and p diddy and we will

0:35:58.140 --> 0:36:01.000
<v Speaker 1>pay off those details next hour he's living quite the

0:36:01.040 --> 0:36:03.070
<v Speaker 1>life in prison Over the course of my time in

0:36:03.090 --> 0:36:06.890
<v Speaker 1>various correctional facilities, I've observed firsthand how the internal economy operates.

0:36:06.910 --> 0:36:09.430
<v Speaker 1>Despite having little money, I was able to live relatively

0:36:09.489 --> 0:36:12.620
<v Speaker 1>comfortably because I worked as a cook. These environments, food

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:14.980
<v Speaker 1>and drugs often serve as a higher currency than cash.

0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:17.399
<v Speaker 1>Since everyone wants access to better food, I was able

0:36:17.420 --> 0:36:21.060
<v Speaker 1>to trade for a variety of goods and services, including laundry,

0:36:21.120 --> 0:36:24.779
<v Speaker 1>cell cleaning, clothing repairs, haircuts, tattoos. Other contraband, such as

0:36:24.820 --> 0:36:27.250
<v Speaker 1>cell phones brought in by staff, also command high value.

0:36:27.570 --> 0:36:30.450
<v Speaker 1>For example, a phone cost me $ 1, 000 in a Nevada

0:36:30.510 --> 0:36:34.589
<v Speaker 1>maximum security facility. Even in solitary confinement, inmates find ways

0:36:34.630 --> 0:36:38.259
<v Speaker 1>to coordinate trades, such as using plumbing maintenance visits to

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:41.640
<v Speaker 1>pass items through inmate workers. Ultimately, it is a complex

0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:45.879
<v Speaker 1>and highly resourceful underground economy. Sergio, I hope you've gone straight, dude,

0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:48.740
<v Speaker 1>because you are very bright. And that's a great example

0:36:48.780 --> 0:36:49.800
<v Speaker 1>of the free market at work.

0:36:51.350 --> 0:36:57.030
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no kidding. And do we on the outside really

0:36:57.130 --> 0:37:03.410
<v Speaker 2>want to try to stop that? In some cases. That's

0:37:03.430 --> 0:37:06.740
<v Speaker 2>an interesting discussion. You can get every segment by subscribing
