WEBVTT - The Last Ten Pounds

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and Jetty and now he.

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Yeddy.

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 3>The airport duty free store has to come right out

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:32.239
<v Speaker 3>and say it.

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 4>You think we smell? What other explanation is there?

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Your store carries two things, cologne and liquor. Who buys

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 3>cologne at the airport? Why not just come home wearing

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 3>a sign that says, honey, I'm having an affair, and

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 3>if I'm going to spend fifty dollars on a bottle

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 3>of something at the airport, it's going to be water.

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty good joke.

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 2>So I was thinking while I was on vacation, the

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>idea of talking about things on the radio that are

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 2>actually relevant to people's lives as much as possible, which

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 2>has always been the goal. But I think it's easy

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 2>as a talk show host to get sucked into the

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 2>world of cable news or podcasts or whatever and think

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 2>that that's what people are talking about, and it's not

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 2>necessarily accurate, certainly not definitely not accurate when it comes

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>to cable news programs. Here is something that lots of

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 2>people are talking about statistically true, and just I know

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>in my everyday life is the GLP one drugs that

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 2>have exploded on the scene over the last couple of years.

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 2>And now I'm pretty sure I was trying to look

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 2>up the statistic again. Ian Bremer had them out. Almost

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 2>everybody in America has heard about the GOLP one drugs

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 2>and is aware of them and what they do, and

0:01:56.440 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 2>already one out of ten people are on them, and

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>they think within two years it's going to be like

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 2>thirty percent of people are on the drugs. So you've

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 2>you've obviously heard about them. A quick, easy drug not

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>too expensive that you can take and you lose weight

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>pretty easily. And I know, like, how many people do

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, Joe, that that that are on them? I

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 2>think I know six eight people in my own life

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 2>that have taken this part to me, but it's a handful, yeahah, Michael, No,

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Michael's yeah. So I thought I thought I was going

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 2>to look into it. I thought, I'm going to look

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>into it for me to take one of these gop

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.919
<v Speaker 2>one drugs and see if I could lose the last

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>ten pounds I want to lose. And I thought I'll

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 2>probably get shut down on this. How long do you

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 2>think it took me from the thought of I should

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>look into this to when I was injecting myself with

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 2>zep bound. How long do you think the time period

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>was between? And I mean the first glimmer was I

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 2>should look into that. Maybe I could lose that last

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>ten pounds too. I'm actually injecting myself with zep bound.

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 4>Wow, well you've closed the deal. Obviously. I have no idea.

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what I guess.

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I guess I haven't done the math completely. Fifteen hours.

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, that's how easy.

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 4>That's how easy it is to get on these drugs.

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 4>Did you message your doctor or something like that.

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Or I messaged a doctor. I didn't message my doctor.

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Similar to my story about you know, using testosterone. There's

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 2>all kinds of doctors out there, and I assume they're

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 2>actual doctors. I don't look at their diploma. I don't

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 2>have any reason to believe that they're not actual doctors.

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 2>But I'm amazed at how many people go to medical

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 2>school and everything that's involved. Then go work for one

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 2>of these companies where you do a you know, within

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 2>hours of somebody showing any interest zoom video call a

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 2>rubber stamp.

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 4>That's what you do for me?

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, yeah, yeah, that's my point? Is that why

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>you would go to medical school. It seems like you

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 2>had loftier goals when you first went to medical school

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>then to get well, every medical class has a bottom

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 2>ten percent jack and you just interacted with them.

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:20.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's hilarious.

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, So I I do a chat GPT about my

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>height and weight and age and physical level and you know,

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 2>do you think I could get one of these? And

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 2>I said, sure you could. And I said which one

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 2>do you think would be best? And I said this

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 2>one and so. And then I go to a website

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>I or chat. GPT recommended me a couple, so then

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I click on that. I go to it.

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 5>I got a little questionnaire like that's like five questions long.

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 5>Make an appointment for just a couple of hours later,

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm on a zoom call with a with a doctor,

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 5>and I thought they were going to be relatively more

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 5>skeptical as to why a guy.

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't need to really lose weight. I'm if I

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 2>actually lose the last ten pounds I've got, I think

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna look like a skeleton. But anyway, if I'm

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 2>not who the drug was developed for.

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 4>Originally, certainly anyway, whatsoever.

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, she asked me like two questions, the main

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 2>one being do you own a credit card?

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 4>And uh, that's a sign.

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 2>So and so I say share and they say, okay,

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 2>we'll start you on the lowest dose. Which pharmacy would

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.359
<v Speaker 2>you like to use? That's within like two minutes of

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>the phone call. Say okay, I tell you my pharmacy.

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I go back online, I put in my credit card information.

0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I get a ding on my phone. Like a couple

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 2>hours later, we got your order. Then a few hours later,

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.839
<v Speaker 2>I get the ding. It's filled. I drive to the

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>slowest part in this was me getting around to drive

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 2>into the pharmacy, Drive down to the pharmacy, pick up

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>the drug, come home, bingo bambo, read the instructions. I'm

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 2>on it, and I'll see how it goes today. And

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 2>it starts working right away, So it'll be interesting to

0:05:56.320 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 2>see today what that does to mine desire to eat.

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 4>Wow. Wow, Wow, I'm sorely tempted. Yeah, why wouldn't you.

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're worried about the explosive diary.

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, I already got that Oh my god, I

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 4>got the boopy lettuce, I said, but I like the

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 4>taste of it, so I keep eating it. No, it's

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 4>a it's a little complicated family dynamics. But yeah, wow interesting.

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 4>And like I said, I'm seeing my doc tomorrow, gonna

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 4>look at the book.

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna go to a real doctor that's gonna slow

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 2>you down.

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 4>They're gonna have all kinds of reasons why you shouldn't

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 4>have got an appointment.

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.679
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna have all kinds of reasons why you shouldn't

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>be doing experiments.

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 4>On your bodies.

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm all about the experiments on my body with kind

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>of doctors on zoom calls to talk to me.

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 4>Happen exactly? What's the worst that could happen?

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Right right?

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.039
<v Speaker 4>So that's why I'm happy to prescribe you magic mushrooms.

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 4>I was calling about the weight loss stuff. Oh yeah,

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 4>that's that's what I meant, the wait loss of stuff. Yes,

0:06:55.760 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 4>yes's interested in some viagra? No, I'm fine, all right, Okay.

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 2>So we'll get that testosterone ride out to you. No, no, no,

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 2>no no no. The weight loss yes, I'm sorry. I

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 2>keep getting you mixed up with any of my other

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 2>very important clients.

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 4>Order two questionable drugs and we'll give you twenty percent

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 4>off as long as I got my rubber stamp out.

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get the company in trouble because

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>you know whatever. But I know what I'm getting into.

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 2>But I find that hilarious. I mean, wasn't your thinking

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 2>on this that you had to have a certain amount

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 2>of weight you need to lose or some sort of

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>medical complications or or something before you qualified for this stuff,

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>as opposed to basically I want that, and them saying

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 2>can you pay for it? And me saying yeah, and

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 2>them saying, okay, that was the whole thing.

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 4>All right, mister Trump, here's your everyman question. So you're

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 4>paying for it? How expensive is it?

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Two hundred and eighty dollars a month?

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh that's way less than we heard it first, right.

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Those Trumps. That's either a lot to you or it's not,

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 2>depending on your life situation. There are times when my

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 2>life when that had been in no way. But you know,

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>with inflation where it is now, I honestly, if I

0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 2>ate much less could pay for it. Just don't eating less,

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 2>wow with what it costs you, because I eat out

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot anyway. Yeah, it's not very expensive. And if

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 2>you if you've been thinking about it and like, what

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>would it be like to look into it or how

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 2>hard would it be? I'm telling you, by tomorrow you

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 2>could be on the drug if you want to be.

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 4>It's effortless.

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Kind of hilarious, I think, or horrible for.

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 4>The country, although it's not like again, it's not like

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 4>you're you're taking something weird and experimental. I talked to

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.679
<v Speaker 4>my doctor once about it. He said, all my patients

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.200
<v Speaker 4>are tolerating it great, they're doing great. So if you

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 4>want it, let me.

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Know, right, But I just I thought it was for

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 2>more extreme cases or maybe we're all ready to the

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 2>point of, hey, if you want to lose that last

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 2>five pounds, go ahead try it.

0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, it was at first, but then increasingly, and any

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.200
<v Speaker 4>insurance company that's not hip to this at this point

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 4>is just bad at their business. But it's there's just

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 4>no downside. There's so much upside to losing weight and

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 4>being lighter and healthier unless fat in the belly and

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 4>blah blah blah. If you don't know this stuff already,

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm not gonna bother informing you because you gotta know.

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 4>But I just think there's no reason to hold back.

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 4>They haven't come up with any Oh, you know, half

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 4>of people who are left arm falls off, or you know,

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 4>they lose sight in their eyes. But other than that

0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 4>it works right now.

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.959
<v Speaker 2>A third of people go blind, painfully blind. Oh lord,

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 2>but anyway, I will I will report back tomorrow what

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 2>it's like, because it's supposed to really hit you hard

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 2>right away. So I'll be kind of interested today if

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I if I notice to a great extent, I haven't

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 2>thought about eating at all all day long or something.

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 4>Right now, When did you take your first jib?

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday afternoon?

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:56.199
<v Speaker 4>Okay, it should have started already, and you only jab?

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.559
<v Speaker 2>How often do you get once a month, same day,

0:09:58.559 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 2>every month?

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.439
<v Speaker 4>How was it? Did it hurt? Did bother you?

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:02.720
<v Speaker 6>No?

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 2>No, there was nothing to it whatever, Like Katie reported

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks ago. Was no feeling whatsoever. It

0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 2>was hard.

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 4>When I get out of a chair, it hurts. So yeah,

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm not that worried about it.

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.079
<v Speaker 2>It reminds me of the old guy who heard the

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 2>other day who said, I don't know sit ups anymore.

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 2>I do get ups, get out of my chair, get

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 2>up out of this chair.

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 4>That's good.

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we got a lot more on the way, including

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 2>that crazy, crazy Hassan Piker in some of the things

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 2>he said in case you haven't quite caught on to

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.960
<v Speaker 2>what his act is yet, among other things, stay.

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Here, Armstrong, the Armstrong and Getty shot.

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 7>It's a tragedy. It's a tragedy on so many levels,

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 7>but particularly just for everybody who knew Jason, his family, obviously,

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 7>his friends think of them today.

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 4>The Left is trying desperately not to draw the right

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:13.440
<v Speaker 4>lessons from the life, career and death a professor Jason

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.960
<v Speaker 4>Arday at Cambridge. Perhaps you heard over the weekend that

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.959
<v Speaker 4>this Youngish man who was of the Ibra mix Kindi

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 4>School of Racial Relations in Sociology killed himself. More or so,

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 4>it would seem. He built a completely fictional autobiography that

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:40.560
<v Speaker 4>was easily picked apart. Virtually every single aspect of his

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 4>amazing story was easily checkable, and nobody at Cambridge checked

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 4>because they were so desperate to have diversity and to

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 4>be able to tout this token on steroids, Jason R.

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 6>Day.

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 4>Because he was young and handsome and articulate, and he

0:11:59.920 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 4>was just he was a good bauble to shake out

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 4>there and to say, look, we're diverse, We're diverse, and

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 4>so his not only was his biography built on lies

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 4>and outlandish, ridiculous lies. Ridiculous lies that I mean, for instance,

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.320
<v Speaker 4>he claimed to have been autistic and didn't speak at

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 4>all till he was eleven, didn't read till he was eighteen,

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.959
<v Speaker 4>but then turned it all around, became a super genius

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.719
<v Speaker 4>and a PhD. And virtually everybody in the field of

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.319
<v Speaker 4>autism says, there's never been a case like that. That

0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.200
<v Speaker 4>just doesn't happen. I mean, for instance, and his claims

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 4>about dozens of marathons and the rest of it. There

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 4>are documents of this stuff, and Cambridge didn't even look

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 4>and then elevated him, lauded him, celebrated him, and turned

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 4>a blind eye to all of the truths that are

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 4>now so easily discerned. Here's a BBC report. Here is

0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 4>the head of the Faculty of Education at Cambridge, Professor

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:03.439
<v Speaker 4>Hillary cr Women, who was chatting with him on the

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 4>BEAB And in case it goes by you too quickly,

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 4>the late mister our day asks her, what do you

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 4>think about the accusations of tokenism, like you're just hiring

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 4>me as a token.

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 2>And now Jason is days away from achieving another ambition.

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Good to see you.

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Here's his new boss at Cambridge.

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 6>We do have a lot of work to do, but

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.200
<v Speaker 6>I feel really optimistic.

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 4>There will be doing. I think this is a tokenistic appointment.

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 2>What are your thoughts on this?

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:39.600
<v Speaker 6>The board of electors on your interview day were absolutely unanimous.

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:44.080
<v Speaker 6>We are so lucky to have you. You are the

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 6>best in the world in terms of the research that

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 6>you do.

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 2>An extraordinary journey. But for Jason, this is not an end,

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 2>it's a beginning.

0:13:53.160 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 4>The reaction has been amazing. The sequenusness of that administrator,

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:10.719
<v Speaker 4>it's just unbelievable. And then they built this guy up,

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 4>and then when it was nearly effortlessly discovered that his

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 4>so called research was almost entirely plagiarized and phony. And

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.320
<v Speaker 4>I've gott an account from one of his students who

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 4>says he never taught anything. His classes were the biggest

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 4>waste of time I've ever seen. She says he would

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 4>sit there at his desk and talk about racism, but

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 4>not cite any data or studies, or not ask us

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 4>to teach anything. And often he would show up late

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 4>and depart early. And it was the strangest, most useless

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 4>class I've ever taken in my life. And she says,

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 4>when I finally saw the headlines about this the firing,

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:52.400
<v Speaker 4>not the suicide, but the firing, she said, finally, it

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 4>was that obvious to anybody who spent a minute looking

0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 4>into this headline in the New York Times, which of

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 4>course must massage it's loyal progressive readers. The headline is

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 4>Professor's death leaves behind hard questions for Cambridge on race

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:17.400
<v Speaker 4>and hiring. They admit the school ignored a series of

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 4>warnings about his life, history and work. You know, it's

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 4>funny New York Times. I don't think it leaves behind

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 4>hard questions at all. It leaves behind serious questions, but

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 4>very very easy questions to answer. Here you have a

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 4>desperation to quote unquote diversify. You throw aside merit. And

0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 4>remember when the administrator Ms Kremen, who is just I mean,

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 4>she was doing everything but lifting up her skirt for

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 4>this guy, gushing about how the review committee was unanimous.

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 4>Your work is amazing. His work was crap. And there

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:58.080
<v Speaker 4>were three other scholars interviewed, all of whom have better credentials.

0:15:58.120 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 4>Two of them curiously were black women. I'm not sure

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 4>why it went the way it went. Maybe they weren't

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 4>as perfect a token as mister R. Day was, but

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 4>they gave him the gig at any rate, so they

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 4>threw away merit. They elevated a plagiarizing fabuloust who didn't teach,

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.480
<v Speaker 4>He didn't really do research. He was a complete fraud

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 4>and phony, and he became one of the most lauded

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 4>figures in academia in Great Britain and in the US,

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.760
<v Speaker 4>where people were acutely aware of him. We don't operate

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.480
<v Speaker 4>in those circles, so you might not be aware of that.

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 4>But so here's what another professor says, Professor K. Hindi

0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.720
<v Speaker 4>Andrews about the situation.

0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 2>This has been going on to him for three and

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 2>a half years. As soon as he became professor at Cambridge.

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 2>There were those people who didn't believe that they should

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 2>be a black person in that role.

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 4>You know what I meant to have in front of me,

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:52.240
<v Speaker 4>ibramex Kendy's quote. I mean that phony race baiting con man.

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:58.120
<v Speaker 4>But he tweeted, essentially, our day was sacrificed on the

0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:02.280
<v Speaker 4>altar of racism. Racists went after him from the minute

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 4>he was nominated because he was black, and now they've

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:10.399
<v Speaker 4>killed him. You are either mentally ill if you claim that,

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.880
<v Speaker 4>or you are a dedicated revolutionary and you can't ever

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:18.399
<v Speaker 4>admit when you get caught what you were up to

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.400
<v Speaker 4>and what you're doing, it's one thing or the other.

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 4>There are only those two choices for people who still

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.680
<v Speaker 4>defend this guy. You know, you can't get less racism

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.119
<v Speaker 4>with more racism. I say we cut it out completely.

0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 4>Stick around.

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty The Armstrong and Yetti Show.

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:54.560
<v Speaker 8>Lengthy Deployment Military families raise alarms over the well being

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.200
<v Speaker 8>of sailors on a Navy ship that has been at

0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 8>sea for nearly nine months.

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:05.199
<v Speaker 4>Martha rat It's there from ABC News. It's difficult to

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:09.560
<v Speaker 4>know whether all the attention being paid to the USS

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.320
<v Speaker 4>Link and the giant aircraft carrier there that's been deployed

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.439
<v Speaker 4>for a very, very long time. It's difficult to know

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 4>to what extent the concerns and complaints are sincere and

0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 4>actual problems, and to what extent its anti Trump media

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:32.399
<v Speaker 4>attempting to gin up whatever avenue of discontent there is

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.959
<v Speaker 4>over the situation in the Gulf. And if I knew

0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 4>it was one or the other entirely, I would say so,

0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:44.800
<v Speaker 4>but I don't deployment that long is an issue. As

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 4>we're about to hear.

0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.680
<v Speaker 8>The deployment, primarily in the Middle East includes a record

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:55.160
<v Speaker 8>length of consecutive days without a port call, more than

0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 8>two hundred.

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, let's hear that next clip. I haven't stepped

0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.480
<v Speaker 4>off the ship of the year twenty twenty six. I

0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 4>haven't been off there.

0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I haven't been off the ship.

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:07.880
<v Speaker 4>I haven't touched the land.

0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:11.959
<v Speaker 2>It's tough, is it? My first kid born in February,

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 2>so I'm very excited to get home.

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:18.359
<v Speaker 4>Meeter, Yeah, that is that is rough. The UH and

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.960
<v Speaker 4>the I think it was a Secretary Navy or the

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 4>scentcom commander visited the ship and checked in and said, yeah,

0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.880
<v Speaker 4>it's tough, and you guys wish they could go home

0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.119
<v Speaker 4>and have a port call on the rest of it,

0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.119
<v Speaker 4>but we can't. War as hell, which I think is

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 4>probably about the appropriate response. Here's Admiral Mike Mullen.

0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 9>Historically, we've been able to typically go to a go

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 9>to a port, take a break, do maintenance, and then

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 9>come back online, even back in Vietnam. The problem right

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.159
<v Speaker 9>now is in the aor the places we would do

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.200
<v Speaker 9>that pot Rain or in the United Air memorates, those

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:58.679
<v Speaker 9>are those are targeted right now. In fact, because of

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 9>that established a base on and Dave Garcia. But even

0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:05.200
<v Speaker 9>day of Garcia, the Rains are taken a shot at.

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 9>So the security and the safety and security obviously these

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:12.440
<v Speaker 9>assets is hugely concerning. So there just isn't an easy

0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.840
<v Speaker 9>place to go in terms of a port visit.

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.080
<v Speaker 4>And that's yet another factor that both the American and

0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 4>Iranian leadership are taking into account when they're contemplating how

0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 4>this game of chicken is going to go. And there

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.520
<v Speaker 4>are there are facts on each side that they're really

0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:36.119
<v Speaker 4>interesting and leave us unfortunately in the same spot, which

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:40.240
<v Speaker 4>is a bit of a standoff and nobody knowing how

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 4>long the other side can go. I mean, for instance,

0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:44.920
<v Speaker 4>Aron's economy is in the crapper. I mean, it's bad.

0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 4>Their inflation is huge, their currency is plunging in value

0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 4>of basic food prices are very very high. At the

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.639
<v Speaker 4>same time, though, the IRGC and the mall Is, the

0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:58.560
<v Speaker 4>powers that be, they they're fine, They're perfectly fine. They

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:00.760
<v Speaker 4>don't give a crap about the populace. Because the populace

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 4>can't really threaten them, and they have no moral problem

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 4>with letting the populace starve or descend into poverty or

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 4>what have you. In fact, a hardcore among them think, well,

0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:14.160
<v Speaker 4>there'll be martyrs and they'll have a higher status with Allah,

0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.639
<v Speaker 4>so we're actually doing them a favor. So it is

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:20.640
<v Speaker 4>difficult to squeeze somebody when that's going on, although it's

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:23.280
<v Speaker 4>absolutely true that they are being squeezed in their economy

0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 4>shrinking and their royal revenue is plunging. At the same time,

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 4>though we have political pressures here in the West, we

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 4>have the pressures on our troops and our ships that

0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 4>are there doing very little for a very long time.

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:39.760
<v Speaker 4>And does anybody who served an active duty can tell

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:43.359
<v Speaker 4>you that's one of the worst things, is marking time,

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 4>waiting for something to happen, standing by as it were.

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:56.919
<v Speaker 4>So who knows. The negotiations are ongoing. Jared Kushner is

0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:00.280
<v Speaker 4>negotiating directly with some of the leaders of Hamas right

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.639
<v Speaker 4>now to see if they can straighten out that agreement,

0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 4>because that is being cited by Iron as part of

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:11.680
<v Speaker 4>the Greater Agreement. I'm telling you, it's like watching three

0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 4>octopuses fighting. I can't even figure out who's you know,

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 4>doing what to whom? So where that ends? Nobody knows, Michael,

0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:22.240
<v Speaker 4>do you have transition music handy? This is a completely

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 4>different topic. Two three yea. So nowbody's quite sure what

0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:44.840
<v Speaker 4>to do about AI in a number of different industries

0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:48.560
<v Speaker 4>and realms, not only the big picture stuff we're talking about,

0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:51.800
<v Speaker 4>but as you bear down into, say, the publishing industry,

0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:57.119
<v Speaker 4>it's thrown the publishing industry into complete chaos. There's a

0:22:57.320 --> 0:23:02.399
<v Speaker 4>debut author whose book was just super crazy hot among

0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 4>the published users read it. There's a lot of competition

0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 4>for who had signed the author and put out the book.

0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:15.000
<v Speaker 4>And a debut author getting a multi million dollar book deal. Man,

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 4>that is coming out hot. That's like, you know, I

0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:20.200
<v Speaker 4>don't know. Is there a musical act in recent memory

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:22.880
<v Speaker 4>that's been that hot that when they're discovered, everybody wants

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:27.400
<v Speaker 4>them desperately. But shortly after scoring that multimillion dollar book deal,

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:30.040
<v Speaker 4>the novelist agents pulled the plug. They could no longer

0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 4>support the project because they couldn't verify that the book

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:37.040
<v Speaker 4>had been wholly written by their client. The agency told

0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:39.879
<v Speaker 4>the publishers in a July letter, and I quote, oh

0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:43.400
<v Speaker 4>after allegations of AI swirled around Call Me I'll Hide

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 4>the Body, a crime novel by Jerry Falad Faladi. They wrote,

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:51.560
<v Speaker 4>this raises so many questions about authorship and what AI

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:54.840
<v Speaker 4>means for this industry, but those are questions for another day.

0:23:56.040 --> 0:24:04.160
<v Speaker 4>Were out and the spectacular implosions over some big book

0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:06.640
<v Speaker 4>deals over suspected AI use, and there have been more

0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:09.639
<v Speaker 4>than a couple, and fears about who might be next

0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:14.879
<v Speaker 4>is forcing this reckoning over what is authorship, what's the

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 4>relationship between writers and publishers and the long term survival?

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:22.639
<v Speaker 4>Who's supposed to solve this problem? How much of a

0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:27.680
<v Speaker 4>problem is it? I mean? For instance, last year, seventy authors,

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:29.320
<v Speaker 4>including some of you may have heard of, signed an

0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:32.679
<v Speaker 4>open letter to publishers voicing concerns about generative AI and

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:35.240
<v Speaker 4>asking them to make quote a pledge that will never

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:39.359
<v Speaker 4>release books that were created by machines. Yet the Big

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:43.080
<v Speaker 4>five publishers, all of whom you've heard of, have largely

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:45.920
<v Speaker 4>been reluctant to make sweeping pronouncements about a technology that's

0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 4>both potentially lucrative and increasingly ubiquitous. Many of them are

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:53.160
<v Speaker 4>also involved in lawsuits against tech companies for training their

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 4>models on copyrighted books, essentially plagiarizing them, using them without

0:24:57.000 --> 0:25:01.399
<v Speaker 4>permission for profit. So holy, well, you know, in a

0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 4>weird way, this reminds me of when we were just

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:07.520
<v Speaker 4>talking about Iran and Hamas and Hezbala and Yemen and

0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 4>the US and the Strait of Horn moves, and just

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:13.639
<v Speaker 4>nobody even knows what we're supposed to be arguing about,

0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 4>much less you know where the arguments ought to end.

0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 4>So this young crime novelist has denied the accusations, calling,

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:29.400
<v Speaker 4>oh my god, he's a black guy's calling them racially motivated. Boy, well,

0:25:29.520 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 4>that removes any sympathy I might have. Dude, I had

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:37.200
<v Speaker 4>no idea what you look like until I scrolled down

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:39.440
<v Speaker 4>in this article and there he is, and I came

0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:44.120
<v Speaker 4>across that sentence. No, if I'm a publisher and somebody says, hey,

0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:47.679
<v Speaker 4>a bunch of this is ai slop, I'm bothered by.

0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:51.120
<v Speaker 4>It has nothing to do with your race. Wow? Wow? Wow?

0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:55.959
<v Speaker 4>Does he actually believe that he's a grad student at

0:25:56.200 --> 0:26:04.160
<v Speaker 4>SMU so you might actually believe that anyway. Last month,

0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:08.359
<v Speaker 4>The Atlantic wrote The dagger Mouth, a self published dystopian

0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:11.119
<v Speaker 4>romance whose rights were snapped up by Simon and Schuster,

0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 4>which is consistently top best seller list. I'll bet a

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 4>lot of you were aware of that contained hallmarks of

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:21.960
<v Speaker 4>AI use. They ran it through one of those filters,

0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 4>and I guess they're pretty good right now. But a

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:29.800
<v Speaker 4>spokesperson person for Simon and Schuster said, we don't believe

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:32.399
<v Speaker 4>the conclusions should be drawn from AI detection tools that

0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:36.119
<v Speaker 4>have been shown to produce false positives. Hm Wolf wrote Daggermouth,

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:41.560
<v Speaker 4>and we stand behind her and her work. Panagram CEO,

0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 4>co founder and self proclaimed slop janitor Max Sparrow said

0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:47.719
<v Speaker 4>the tool's high rate of accuracy has been validated by

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 4>multiple third party studies. Why would Shin Simon and Schuster

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:53.840
<v Speaker 4>drop it because apparently it had already a huge amount

0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:56.520
<v Speaker 4>of success, so people were liking it. There's this bigger

0:26:56.520 --> 0:27:00.119
<v Speaker 4>angle about the commercial aspect of generative AI fiction, and

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:04.200
<v Speaker 4>then do the organizations really care about holding to that standard? Well,

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 4>and that gets to the philosophical question, which we've knocked

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:09.520
<v Speaker 4>around a fair amount around here. If it's really good

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:14.399
<v Speaker 4>and people like it, who cares? That's not a rhetorical question,

0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:20.159
<v Speaker 4>because I know I care, and Jack cares. I despise

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:25.639
<v Speaker 4>the idea of AI generated music becoming the music everybody

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:30.119
<v Speaker 4>listens to because it's no longer an expression of creativity.

0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:34.440
<v Speaker 4>Although I will tell you this, visited friends not terribly

0:27:34.480 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 4>long ago who have a couple of teenage girls, and

0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:40.879
<v Speaker 4>they often have background music in the house. Almost always.

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:43.040
<v Speaker 4>There's almost always music going in the house, which is

0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:48.240
<v Speaker 4>interesting because I'm not a background music guy. Jack. How

0:27:48.240 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 4>often you have background music going in your house?

0:27:52.520 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Never?

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:56.040
<v Speaker 4>Never? Yeah, See, we're not background music people. Either I'm

0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 4>either listening to music or I'm not listening to music.

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:00.520
<v Speaker 4>But anyway, so these Fox News.

0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Really loud, and I have that on the background all

0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the time.

0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:05.399
<v Speaker 4>Of course. But these folks who had a couple of

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 4>teenage girls, for one big chunk of the day, it

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:13.480
<v Speaker 4>was the girl's choice of what you know, internet quote

0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:17.320
<v Speaker 4>unquote radio station is playing and it was pop music

0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 4>and it was making me murderous. I mean it was,

0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:25.000
<v Speaker 4>it was terrible. But so you're talking about AI music

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 4>and AI publishing as we just were, And some best

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:32.320
<v Speaker 4>sellers now have been found out to be partially AI generated.

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:37.000
<v Speaker 4>But the pop music here is so derivative, derivative, and

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:39.160
<v Speaker 4>countries if a popular.

0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Modern country song turns out to be partially AI written. Boy,

0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you what. I gotta really keep turning the

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 2>pages to get to the where on the list that

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 2>comes in of my priorities to be worried.

0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 4>About what we were just talking about, how the publishing

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 4>world is running around like chickens with their heads cut

0:28:58.760 --> 0:29:01.959
<v Speaker 4>off because several like super blockbusters that have been released

0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:04.840
<v Speaker 4>or about to be released lately have been disclosed to

0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 4>be AI generated, at least in part, and nobody knows

0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 4>what to do or what the right questions are, or

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:15.520
<v Speaker 4>if they should do anything at all, and it's just

0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 4>everybody's in and uproar.

0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I have an answer, but we'll tell you about it.

0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh good. This we want to talk to, specifically the

0:29:22.120 --> 0:29:24.680
<v Speaker 2>people who get up early, work hard all day long,

0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:27.480
<v Speaker 2>and you wonder what you should do with your money.

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:30.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's no way you're going to talk to you

0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:32.920
<v Speaker 4>about your money and your future with somebody who doesn't

0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 4>get that, some pretentious you know whatever. So we'd like

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:38.960
<v Speaker 4>to introduce you to Blue Collar Dollar because at Blue

0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:41.720
<v Speaker 4>Collar Dollar they do get it. They're building a place

0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:44.440
<v Speaker 4>where hardworking people like you can share values and financial

0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 4>dreams with advisors who talk with you, never at you if.

0:29:47.720 --> 0:29:50.960
<v Speaker 2>You've saved five hundred thousand dollars or more, we invite

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 2>you to call blue Collar Dollar for a no consult consultation.

0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 2>There is no obligation, no cost consultation. There's no obligation,

0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:41.080
<v Speaker 2>who's wondering about the AI stuff. Whether it's people are

0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:45.960
<v Speaker 2>grabbing images of a chicken worker in school and making

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 2>her naked or whatever whatever it is, or this music

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 2>stuff or whatever it is, there's nothing you can do

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:54.240
<v Speaker 2>about it. Stop acting like you can turn back the

0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:57.479
<v Speaker 2>hands of time or into a new world. There's nothing

0:30:57.520 --> 0:30:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you can do about it. Give up, that's my answer.

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Give up. There's nothing you can do about it. People

0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 2>are gonna make AI images, they're gonna make AI songs.

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 2>They're good, but there's just no stopping it. You're living

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:12.120
<v Speaker 2>in a dream land. If you think you can stop it.

0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:15.160
<v Speaker 4>Would you be more likely to read a book that

0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:18.720
<v Speaker 4>had some sort of certified written by a human seal

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 4>on it. I would, I'm sure I would. Whether I

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 4>should or not, I don't know, but I would.

0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Don't know. I usually choose books based on authors I

0:31:29.840 --> 0:31:32.840
<v Speaker 2>become aware of their reputation or hear about it.

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:33.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

0:31:33.320 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 2>If I heard a book was really good from people

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I respect their opinion, which is how I find out

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 2>about ninety nine percent of the books I read, specifically

0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:45.080
<v Speaker 2>nonfiction books, I'd still read it. If it's good, it's good.

0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:49.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Yeah. If I found out, for instance, I'm so

0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:52.680
<v Speaker 4>enjoying Tim Sanderfer's book Proclaiming Liberty, I'm just about done

0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:56.600
<v Speaker 4>with it. If I found out that his next book,

0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:02.320
<v Speaker 4>which makes the world's most devastating effective case against socialism,

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 4>that it's being talked about in capitals around the world.

0:32:05.800 --> 0:32:09.520
<v Speaker 4>I found out that it was partially it had used

0:32:09.560 --> 0:32:12.920
<v Speaker 4>AI tools to bring it into being. Some of the

0:32:12.960 --> 0:32:15.480
<v Speaker 4>writing was fleshed out by AI or something. I would

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:18.680
<v Speaker 4>still read it with enthusiasm because it's about the ideas

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:22.640
<v Speaker 4>more than anything. But there it depends on what sort

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:24.600
<v Speaker 4>of art you're talking about, because there is an art

0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 4>to writing. There's certainly an art to music. I don't know.

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:28.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm just novels.

0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I am not going to read an AI novel unless

0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I was reading specifically for the to see how far

0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:38.000
<v Speaker 2>AI has come along. I have no interest in AI art.

0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I find that appalling.

0:32:41.920 --> 0:32:48.440
<v Speaker 4>What that is the question before us? All right, well,

0:32:48.480 --> 0:32:50.880
<v Speaker 4>we're out of time. I got to talk about this

0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 4>before we were done.

0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I briefly have to talk about because I was just

0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:56.040
<v Speaker 2>gone for a few minutes to drop my son off

0:32:56.040 --> 0:32:57.800
<v Speaker 2>at school. I have to talk briefly about that, just

0:32:57.800 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 2>to get it out of my head. Yes, so we

0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:01.360
<v Speaker 2>can move on with the rest of the show. Among

0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:02.560
<v Speaker 2>other things on the way, stay.

0:33:02.360 --> 0:33:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Here see Armstrong and Getty show.

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Yo yo yo. I'm having a shot of espresso in

0:33:18.960 --> 0:33:21.040
<v Speaker 2>this little cup that I really like. I got at Target.

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 2>See what it says you rock, says you rock on

0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:25.480
<v Speaker 2>my little espresso cup.

0:33:25.880 --> 0:33:26.720
<v Speaker 4>That's so great.

0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 2>I still find it very difficult to not say espresso,

0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:33.440
<v Speaker 2>you rock. And every day when I grab this, I

0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:35.720
<v Speaker 2>tell my kids, I say, you see this cup. See

0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:37.080
<v Speaker 2>what it says there It says I rock.

0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:42.160
<v Speaker 4>Cups don't line. I would know as the world's greatest dad,

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:45.120
<v Speaker 4>So I rock.

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:48.080
<v Speaker 2>That's what my espresso cup says. And speaking of kids,

0:33:48.880 --> 0:33:52.440
<v Speaker 2>I just dropped my youngest off at high school for

0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:55.200
<v Speaker 2>his very first day of high school. And the reason

0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:56.680
<v Speaker 2>this is such a big deal and I will not

0:33:56.800 --> 0:33:59.960
<v Speaker 2>go into much detail, as I remember when Joe used

0:33:59.960 --> 0:34:02.880
<v Speaker 2>to talk about this when his kids got older. They're

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 2>at the age now where I have no business discussing

0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:09.440
<v Speaker 2>their lives on the radio. I probably didn't have any

0:34:09.480 --> 0:34:11.360
<v Speaker 2>business when they're little, but they weren't gonna know so.

0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:16.080
<v Speaker 2>But now that they're older, I definitely don't feel as

0:34:16.080 --> 0:34:21.359
<v Speaker 2>comfortable describing their lives on the radio. But people who

0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:23.239
<v Speaker 2>have been listening for a long time, no, with my

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:26.719
<v Speaker 2>youngest all kinds of medical situations and dropping him a

0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:28.520
<v Speaker 2>high school right now, I don't even know if you

0:34:28.560 --> 0:34:31.839
<v Speaker 2>know this story, Katie. He went to the first half

0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:34.799
<v Speaker 2>year of kindergarten. That's the last time he's been in

0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:39.560
<v Speaker 2>a regular class with kids is first half year of kindergarten.

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:42.520
<v Speaker 2>And ever since then it's been all kinds of medical

0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:46.680
<v Speaker 2>stuff and various kinds of special schools and private tutors

0:34:46.680 --> 0:34:48.720
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that. But got him up to speed,

0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:52.200
<v Speaker 2>and now he's in with the regular class, regular high

0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:56.200
<v Speaker 2>school first day. This is among the biggest things that's

0:34:56.200 --> 0:34:58.760
<v Speaker 2>ever happened in his life, which he's very very nervous about.

0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:01.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm nervous about and I hope it turns out well,

0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:04.759
<v Speaker 2>but it's a big deal. It's a really big deal.

0:35:05.280 --> 0:35:07.520
<v Speaker 4>Wow. Yeah, I can image.

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:09.040
<v Speaker 2>He'd ever be able to do this, So the fact

0:35:09.080 --> 0:35:11.680
<v Speaker 2>that he's in a position where he can even try

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:16.680
<v Speaker 2>is really a big deal. So it's awesome. And Uh,

0:35:16.880 --> 0:35:19.120
<v Speaker 2>as I've talked about many times, I never would have

0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:22.400
<v Speaker 2>guessed this as a parent, watching my kids play sports,

0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:24.760
<v Speaker 2>even though I was bad at sports and was nervous

0:35:24.800 --> 0:35:27.680
<v Speaker 2>all the time, watching my kids was no more nerve

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:31.720
<v Speaker 2>wracking than being me. With that, I would have never guessed.

0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:33.960
<v Speaker 2>And the same way with watching I was scared to

0:35:34.000 --> 0:35:36.319
<v Speaker 2>death walk I walked into new schools several times in

0:35:36.360 --> 0:35:38.359
<v Speaker 2>my life, and I was very, very nervous. But as

0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:41.839
<v Speaker 2>a parent, watching your kid do that is harder than

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:42.800
<v Speaker 2>being the kid.

0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:44.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I mean, if you screw up on the

0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:48.400
<v Speaker 4>field to play, you might have frustration or anger or whatever,

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:52.239
<v Speaker 4>but you're not like suffering, like in the same way

0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:55.080
<v Speaker 4>you do as your when your child is struggling. Oh

0:35:55.120 --> 0:35:56.799
<v Speaker 4>it's no, it's not even comparable.

0:35:57.160 --> 0:35:57.399
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:35:57.520 --> 0:36:00.239
<v Speaker 2>Please, that that was news to me, yes, Katie, No,

0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I was just I was thinking about my first day

0:36:02.200 --> 0:36:05.000
<v Speaker 2>of high school and how I remember being on campus

0:36:05.040 --> 0:36:06.560
<v Speaker 2>and thinking I have to do.

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:08.759
<v Speaker 4>This for four years. This is never.

0:36:08.880 --> 0:36:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Going to end. And that was like one of my

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:13.320
<v Speaker 2>bigger fears.

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:15.160
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I was never going to get out

0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:15.560
<v Speaker 4>of there.

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:17.880
<v Speaker 2>That's one of the things it's hard to remind yourself

0:36:18.239 --> 0:36:20.520
<v Speaker 2>is how long a year looks when you're that age,

0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:22.960
<v Speaker 2>or four years looks when you're that age. It just

0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:25.400
<v Speaker 2>seems like it's such a long time. It might as

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:28.080
<v Speaker 2>well be forever. Yeah, four years might as well be forever.

0:36:28.760 --> 0:36:32.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. And I was a fairly mature fourteen year old physically,

0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:36.480
<v Speaker 4>but I remember looking at the eighteen year old seniors

0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:38.960
<v Speaker 4>and thinking, why am I in the same story as that?

0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:43.400
<v Speaker 4>Yes, right, I'm a boy. That's a young man, but

0:36:43.440 --> 0:36:46.000
<v Speaker 4>that's a man over there. I uh, I'm just going

0:36:46.040 --> 0:36:47.839
<v Speaker 4>to be very quiet over here. That's funny.

0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:50.000
<v Speaker 2>We're just talking about this in the car. As a senior,

0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:52.760
<v Speaker 2>you're thinking, why am I in a school with children?

0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:53.480
<v Speaker 8>Right?

0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Because you're an adult?

0:36:55.680 --> 0:36:58.120
<v Speaker 4>Right? Yeah huh.

0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:00.799
<v Speaker 2>And I also STI doing wow this. Seniors think they

0:37:00.840 --> 0:37:03.240
<v Speaker 2>know everything. They don't, but they think they know everything,

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:05.719
<v Speaker 2>and you certainly do. All right, a lot more coming

0:37:05.800 --> 0:37:06.640
<v Speaker 2>up stay here

0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty
