WEBVTT - I Got Flipped Off Good & Hard Yesterday 0:00:04.070 --> 0:00:38.550 THE END Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio 0:00:38.570 --> 0:00:42.990 at the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:43.210 --> 0:00:44.589 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:44.770 --> 0:00:55.220 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. Live, live, live from 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:59.720 Studio CCC. Si, senor. A dimly lit room deep in 0:00:59.740 --> 0:01:03.710 the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. And hey, y'all, 0:01:03.730 --> 0:01:05.470 kicking off a brand new week. 0:01:05.690 --> 0:01:07.050 Oh, this week. 0:01:07.090 --> 0:01:08.370 What's it going to be like, I wonder? 0:01:09.069 --> 0:01:09.169 Oh. 0:01:09.410 --> 0:01:10.950 Is this going to be the week all my dreams 0:01:10.990 --> 0:01:11.429 come true? 0:01:11.450 --> 0:01:12.810 Maybe. 0:01:13.170 --> 0:01:14.470 Win the lottery, meet Mrs. 0:01:14.550 --> 0:01:14.850 Wright. 0:01:15.050 --> 0:01:17.250 Or is this the week I march to my car 0:01:17.270 --> 0:01:21.030 with a cardboard box? And I get a letter from 0:01:21.069 --> 0:01:24.289 the IRS saying you completely missed like four years. You 0:01:24.310 --> 0:01:24.890 don't remember. 0:01:24.910 --> 0:01:27.630 Yeah, I just went on a prediction market and bet 0:01:27.690 --> 0:01:28.390 on the second one. 0:01:31.150 --> 0:01:35.770 Anyway, welcome to the show. And we're toiling under the 0:01:35.870 --> 0:01:36.830 title of the show today. 0:01:37.050 --> 0:01:40.950 Western liberal values under attack from everyone but space aliens. 0:01:42.060 --> 0:01:46.180 I mean, you think about it. Islamism, the left, the right, 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.440 the socialists, the apathy. 0:01:50.350 --> 0:01:50.650 Oh, boy. 0:01:51.270 --> 0:01:55.559 Or if you prefer, AI Uh-Oh Part 2 of 1000. 0:01:55.550 --> 0:02:00.070 Wow. This topic is not going away. No kidding. It 0:02:00.230 --> 0:02:03.720 definitely exploded over the weekend. Finally, as a guy who's 0:02:03.740 --> 0:02:05.940 been obsessed with this for a while and watching all 0:02:05.980 --> 0:02:08.700 the videos and reading all the books and listening to 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:13.320 all the podcasts, now everybody is talking about it. It's 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:18.350 pretty darned interesting. Man, over the weekend, I mean, Dario 0:02:18.389 --> 0:02:21.480 from Anthropic was all over the place on every show, 0:02:21.540 --> 0:02:24.240 wrote that big letter on Saturday, open letter that we'll 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:30.200 talk about later. And the Twitterverse was all excited with 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.459 all kinds of different comments from all the different people, 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.730 all the heavyweights in the AI industry weighing in. So 0:02:35.790 --> 0:02:40.430 it's definitely at peak people talking about it. Here's one 0:02:40.450 --> 0:02:43.070 of my favorite things I came across over the weekend. 0:02:43.470 --> 0:02:45.570 I don't know who this guy is who tweeted this out, 0:02:45.610 --> 0:02:48.070 but it's about the whole AI thing and the way 0:02:48.110 --> 0:02:53.280 that the guy runs Anthropic and the guy runs OpenAI 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.419 and Elon running that one and everything. We invented a 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:01.280 Roomba chainsaw combo that unexpectedly sliced through our neighbor's house 0:03:01.340 --> 0:03:03.980 and toddler. Who could have foreseen this? Who should be 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.359 held responsible? What should we do? Wow. 0:03:07.419 --> 0:03:07.619 Wow. 0:03:08.260 --> 0:03:08.690 Wow. 0:03:09.150 --> 0:03:10.260 All right. 0:03:10.330 --> 0:03:13.919 So here's my... That's hilarious. Horrible, but hilarious. Here's my 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:18.450 philosophical thought. Hang with me now. A rumor chainsaw combo. 0:03:18.510 --> 0:03:22.210 Who could have imagined that something would have gone wrong? 0:03:22.690 --> 0:03:23.910 That's a really good metaphor. 0:03:24.980 --> 0:03:27.620 So you remember back when we mocked a clip of 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:31.740 Wolf Blitzer, who his crutch. 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.910 Became good thing or bad thing? Good thing or bad thing? 0:03:35.340 --> 0:03:37.340 Everything had to be reduced to that. And it was 0:03:37.460 --> 0:03:39.460 so emblematic. 0:03:38.860 --> 0:03:41.710 Of the idiocy of most of the media. That's as 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.010 deep as they go. This might be the ultimate example 0:03:45.510 --> 0:03:51.970 of he's right. Those people contradicting him are right. Those 0:03:52.030 --> 0:03:54.890 people over there begging us to consider this are right. 0:03:55.310 --> 0:03:57.230 And the cynics who are saying none of it's as 0:03:57.290 --> 0:03:58.410 big as they're saying. 0:03:58.530 --> 0:03:59.910 They're right, too. 0:04:01.170 --> 0:04:06.410 It's a swirling mix of, yeah, they have a self-interest 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.220 in promoting regulation, and maybe there. 0:04:10.100 --> 0:04:11.119 Should be regulation. 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.320 And, you know, the doomers are right, but maybe they're 0:04:15.420 --> 0:04:17.020 not entirely pure of heart. 0:04:17.100 --> 0:04:19.300 And just to shout good. 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.100 Thing or bad thing at this, which is what mostly 0:04:22.140 --> 0:04:24.400 happens in the media, is just, I think it's missing 0:04:24.420 --> 0:04:24.839 the point. 0:04:24.860 --> 0:04:28.339 This is an enormous new challenge. Well, for the crowd 0:04:28.380 --> 0:04:32.669 who thinks this is only... regulatory capture to try to 0:04:32.710 --> 0:04:35.940 stay in the lead i think that's just nuts there 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:40.240 are way too many people that have been writing talking 0:04:40.300 --> 0:04:44.000 about ai their whole lives who have no financial gain 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.140 that i can see that they they get from this 0:04:46.420 --> 0:04:49.529 agree that we're on the verge of a catastrophe and 0:04:49.570 --> 0:04:52.270 something needs to be done right so it's what you 0:04:52.330 --> 0:04:56.150 said regulatory capture would help anthropic if they put in 0:04:56.170 --> 0:04:59.490 all these guardrails so you can't have any competition And 0:04:59.510 --> 0:05:01.830 he's completely right that it's about to go off the 0:05:01.870 --> 0:05:04.159 rails and we better wake up to it. 0:05:04.750 --> 0:05:07.950 And the insiders in this field, they're extremely important to 0:05:08.529 --> 0:05:12.320 look to for greater understanding of what we're talking about. 0:05:12.779 --> 0:05:14.740 On the other hand, I'll remind you, folks, and this 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.080 is a good this is. 0:05:16.060 --> 0:05:16.760 Not a good idea. 0:05:17.020 --> 0:05:21.830 This may be the best idea. We have civilian control 0:05:22.010 --> 0:05:23.430 of the military in the United States. 0:05:24.110 --> 0:05:25.370 Why is that? 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.360 Because maybe generals aren't the best people to decide whether 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.640 we go to war or not. Likewise, the AI superpowers, 0:05:35.100 --> 0:05:37.520 maybe they're not the ones who ought to be in 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:37.980 charge of. 0:05:37.940 --> 0:05:41.380 The big philosophical decisions. Oh, boy. Or the regulatory decisions. 0:05:41.620 --> 0:05:44.580 On that front, holy cow. Watching Dario on a couple 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.120 of the shows over the weekend talking about anthropic and 0:05:47.230 --> 0:05:51.109 AI and everything like that. He is probably some level 0:05:51.150 --> 0:05:54.050 of super genius with AI. And, you know, he is 0:05:54.110 --> 0:05:57.770 he's so much smarter than me. I can't comment on 0:05:57.810 --> 0:06:00.610 anything like that. But he ain't smarter than me when 0:06:00.670 --> 0:06:04.830 it comes to human nature and world geopolitics. He sounds 0:06:04.870 --> 0:06:09.150 like an idiot. I thought his answers on Face the 0:06:09.180 --> 0:06:16.580 Nation yesterday were like high school level embarrassing on the 0:06:16.620 --> 0:06:20.060 way he sees the competition of the globe or the 0:06:20.100 --> 0:06:23.419 way countries interact with each other. So, you know, and 0:06:23.460 --> 0:06:28.080 not surprising. It's the same reason we never want to 0:06:28.140 --> 0:06:31.600 quote actors or athletes. They've dedicated their whole lives to 0:06:31.700 --> 0:06:34.909 one specific thing. They don't know anything about the big picture. 0:06:35.270 --> 0:06:38.770 He doesn't understand the world at all. You know, we'll 0:06:38.810 --> 0:06:40.430 just work with China. I think if we get a 0:06:40.450 --> 0:06:43.350 whole bunch of different governments together, including China, and work together, 0:06:43.810 --> 0:06:49.619 give me a break. You child. You child. So you're right. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.310 I don't know who else you're going to put in charge, though, 0:06:53.550 --> 0:06:58.089 because who else is going to understand the product enough? Well, 0:06:58.110 --> 0:06:58.730 that's the thing. 0:06:58.890 --> 0:07:01.089 They absolutely have to be involved. But I don't know 0:07:01.130 --> 0:07:03.450 if you need another example of it. How did it 0:07:03.550 --> 0:07:09.380 go having your county health authority, some dude or chick 0:07:09.820 --> 0:07:13.360 who is just an expert, more or less, on like, 0:07:14.010 --> 0:07:18.030 Healthcare systems. How did it go having them in charge 0:07:18.070 --> 0:07:21.390 of all public policy during COVID? They knew nothing about 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.900 economics in general. They knew nothing about education, human psychology. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.520 They knew nothing but the very narrow field. 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:29.860 They were in. 0:07:30.260 --> 0:07:34.030 But we're going to trust the scientists was the practically 0:07:34.150 --> 0:07:37.670 religious chant at the time. This is a similar situation. 0:07:37.990 --> 0:07:39.370 We need a panel here. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.340 A panel of our best thinkers to, to assemble and 0:07:43.980 --> 0:07:44.940 deal with this challenge. 0:07:45.170 --> 0:07:45.250 Yeah. 0:07:45.260 --> 0:07:47.510 And you bringing up COVID, I felt that at some 0:07:47.550 --> 0:07:49.850 point over the weekend, taking in some of this, because 0:07:50.230 --> 0:07:51.950 if you haven't been following this, there's a lot of 0:07:52.010 --> 0:07:56.150 new information since last week when that guy came forward 0:07:56.170 --> 0:07:58.170 and a couple other people came forward and said, you know, 0:07:58.190 --> 0:08:00.920 behind the closed doors, they're talking about all of humanity 0:08:00.950 --> 0:08:05.280 being killed. Probably. I don't know that a fair amount 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.020 happened over the weekend, but what was my point? Oh, it, 0:08:08.810 --> 0:08:10.430 It felt like COVID at one point to me. It 0:08:10.450 --> 0:08:13.650 was like when the world woke up to how real 0:08:13.710 --> 0:08:15.760 this is and how big a deal this is going 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.200 to be, that's what it felt like over the weekend 0:08:18.220 --> 0:08:21.200 to me with the whole AI thing. Like, oh, holy crap, 0:08:21.340 --> 0:08:25.280 what's going on here? What happens next, I do not know. 0:08:25.300 --> 0:08:29.970 I know we both have some really good, interesting, comprehensible 0:08:30.090 --> 0:08:33.980 stuff on What has developed over the last several days 0:08:34.100 --> 0:08:36.920 and the growing understanding of how these systems may have 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.179 come to do the crazy stuff they did and the 0:08:40.260 --> 0:08:44.740 extent to which the the super brain of an AI 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.740 system functions very much like a human brain. But as 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:53.490 one thinker writer put it, we have no neurological science 0:08:53.650 --> 0:08:58.490 of these things. It's actually disturbingly similar to our lack 0:08:58.530 --> 0:09:01.670 of understanding about how the human brain actually works. I mean, 0:09:01.690 --> 0:09:04.050 we're getting better, but we're a long way from full understanding. 0:09:05.390 --> 0:09:11.210 It does stuff that we never expected. And we can't explain. 0:09:11.970 --> 0:09:16.090 And we can't even tell you how it happened. And 0:09:16.110 --> 0:09:16.890 yet it happened. 0:09:17.290 --> 0:09:17.490 Right. 0:09:17.530 --> 0:09:19.829 And the Wall Street Journal big, I think it's their 0:09:19.870 --> 0:09:24.020 editorial board piece today. Yeah, really good. about this and 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.439 this sentence stuck out to me. Again, if you haven't 0:09:27.460 --> 0:09:31.880 been following this, AI development is moving ahead at blazing speed, 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.890 much faster than expected, feeding a growing sense of dread 0:09:35.929 --> 0:09:38.110 within companies that it was in danger of spinning out 0:09:38.150 --> 0:09:42.290 of control. Yeah, the experts who had been predicting how 0:09:42.370 --> 0:09:44.590 fast this was all going to get to the point 0:09:44.650 --> 0:09:47.870 that they couldn't control it are shocked at how fast 0:09:48.010 --> 0:09:50.940 it has taken off in like the last six months. 0:09:51.700 --> 0:09:51.800 Right. 0:09:51.820 --> 0:09:51.940 Right. 0:09:53.090 --> 0:09:57.810 And if you thought you understood the hugging face hack, 0:09:58.390 --> 0:10:02.600 it is so much more interesting. and disturbing than we 0:10:02.660 --> 0:10:04.959 all thought it was now that people have had a 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.880 chance to go in and uh really look at how 0:10:08.940 --> 0:10:14.150 it unfolded it's just are these things alive or what 0:10:14.230 --> 0:10:17.760 the way they think they think We're constantly being cautioned 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:21.830 by listeners and experts to not anthropomorphize these things. They're 0:10:21.870 --> 0:10:25.150 not humans. They don't think like humans. They're just predictors. 0:10:25.170 --> 0:10:27.689 They predict the next word, et cetera, et cetera. I 0:10:27.710 --> 0:10:30.330 would suggest that you fellows give a good read to 0:10:30.350 --> 0:10:31.650 some of the stuff that's come out in the last 0:10:31.690 --> 0:10:33.310 few days because I'd love to have your perspective. 0:10:34.090 --> 0:10:36.330 But they behaved very. 0:10:36.330 --> 0:10:46.330 Much in ways human beings would behave in terms of. decisions, moral, practical, well, 0:10:46.429 --> 0:10:48.210 moral and immoral and practical. 0:10:49.030 --> 0:10:51.510 They seem to have the ability to get excited about 0:10:51.570 --> 0:10:56.929 things or scared about things or anxious or protective. They 0:10:56.970 --> 0:10:58.610 seem to have all of those qualities. 0:10:59.090 --> 0:11:01.830 And the AI agents, which is still a term most 0:11:01.890 --> 0:11:03.970 of us are trying to wrap our little heads around. 0:11:04.490 --> 0:11:08.000 would get into conflicts and shame each other into doing 0:11:08.020 --> 0:11:12.660 what the majority demanded of them, including throw themselves on 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.040 a live grenade, as it were. 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.270 So what is that? 0:11:17.290 --> 0:11:18.069 Yeah. 0:11:18.550 --> 0:11:20.770 So more on this later. A lot happened over the weekend. 0:11:20.809 --> 0:11:24.130 Interesting stuff. And a ton of other things to get to, too. 0:11:24.190 --> 0:11:26.580 The NFL season kicked off. A lot of excitement there. 0:11:27.929 --> 0:11:30.670 Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. 0:11:30.750 --> 0:11:33.260 On this, it is a Monday, September 14th. I have 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.240 jury duty. Am I going to end up on trial today? 0:11:35.260 --> 0:11:38.400 I'll find out. The year 2026, we are Armstrong and 0:11:38.420 --> 0:11:40.920 Getty and we approve of this program. On trial or 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:42.059 on a trial? A trial. 0:11:42.740 --> 0:11:45.960 Because I'd love to see justice finally brought down upon you. 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.100 That is going to be a plot twist if I 0:11:48.140 --> 0:11:50.460 walk into the room and I say, glad you're here. No, no, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.339 you don't sit there. You sit over here. 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:56.570 No, the judge says, this is a rare opportunity. We 0:11:56.610 --> 0:11:59.869 are going to exercise Clause 437C and put one of 0:11:59.890 --> 0:12:02.510 the jurors on trial for his sins instead of that 0:12:02.530 --> 0:12:03.070 guy over there. 0:12:04.890 --> 0:12:07.490 All right, let's begin officially according to FCC rules and regulations. 0:12:07.530 --> 0:12:08.410 Here we go at Mark. 0:12:08.830 --> 0:12:11.390 Everybody's been bugging me. They're saying, would you do me 0:12:11.410 --> 0:12:13.670 a favor? It's so unfair what's going on. 0:12:14.220 --> 0:12:19.660 Could you possibly take the tariffs off of Irish whiskey? 0:12:22.220 --> 0:12:24.920 On behalf of the United States of America, I am 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.820 going to take the tariffs off. 0:12:29.940 --> 0:12:33.540 That's Trump in Ireland at his golf course. Taking the 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:38.770 tariffs off Irish whiskey because it made the crowd happy. 0:12:39.410 --> 0:12:42.870 And illustrating to school kids and citizens alike, this is 0:12:42.910 --> 0:12:45.370 how we craft policy in the United States. 0:12:45.790 --> 0:12:52.660 This is how we pass laws. Oh, my God. 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.380 Oh, boy. 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.760 The crowd loved it, though. The crowd loved it. Great. 0:12:59.370 --> 0:13:01.890 So Katie has got her headlines on the way. We 0:13:01.910 --> 0:13:06.210 have some fun, frivolity, disturbing. Man, there's new stuff in 0:13:06.230 --> 0:13:10.380 the Clancy trial. Katie and Michael, because I doubt you've 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:11.780 seen it. Well, Katie may have. 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.760 What is the hottest sector in commercial real estate right now? 0:13:17.700 --> 0:13:22.500 Fastest growing, smartest place to put your money. Jack, you 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.630 got your confused face on, so you get to guess too. 0:13:25.850 --> 0:13:29.360 I have no idea. I'll give you 50 guesses. Shopping malls. 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.699 Shopping malls are staging a comeback. 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.120 Indoor malls are getting hot again. What kind of store? 0:13:36.140 --> 0:13:38.860 Counting them out, they're back, folks. What kind of store? 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:40.160 I want to hear about that. 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:41.160 Yeah, okay. 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.140 Yeah, we'll talk about that. Here comes Sears. Sears, right? 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:48.110 Bring back Sears. And why not Roebuck while we're at it? Exactly. 0:13:48.550 --> 0:13:51.150 If you're young, Google it. All of that on the way. 0:13:51.170 --> 0:13:51.569 Stay here. 0:13:53.030 --> 0:14:02.500 Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:14:05.700 --> 0:14:08.820 You see, if you invented a Roomba chainsaw combo, you 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.380 would know it's going to wreak havoc. So, you know, 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:16.280 you shouldn't be surprised is the comparison to AI. 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.180 Especially if you throw in and the Roomba decides that 0:14:20.230 --> 0:14:23.609 its geofencing is inconvenient and annoying. It's going to start 0:14:23.650 --> 0:14:26.250 ignoring it. All right, let's figure out who's reporting what. 0:14:26.290 --> 0:14:27.510 It's the lead story with Katie Green. 0:14:27.570 --> 0:14:27.910 Katie. 0:14:28.250 --> 0:14:32.910 All righty, the Alphabet Network's ABC. Oil prices rise after 0:14:32.970 --> 0:14:37.800 strikes in Saudi Arabia and the Strait of Hormuz. Hormuz, Houthis, 0:14:37.980 --> 0:14:41.480 and the pipeline strikes. Saudi Arabia's list of big problems 0:14:41.540 --> 0:14:42.080 is growing. 0:14:42.100 --> 0:14:44.520 That one's from NBC. And CBS. 0:14:44.780 --> 0:14:48.420 Iran-backed Houthis capture more territory in Yemen. 0:14:50.180 --> 0:14:56.180 Trump lectured Zelensky yesterday. Stop attacking refineries in Russia. You're 0:14:56.220 --> 0:14:57.920 causing the price of diesel to go up. 0:14:59.160 --> 0:14:59.400 Yikes. 0:14:59.460 --> 0:15:00.820 That makes me insane. 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:03.240 All right. 0:15:03.300 --> 0:15:04.440 Lots of tech from here. 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:09.800 NBC News. China dismisses AI slowdown calls and blasts fear 0:15:09.870 --> 0:15:12.070 mongering from the United States tech leaders. 0:15:12.630 --> 0:15:15.410 Here's where we run a little audio of Dario Amadei 0:15:15.470 --> 0:15:17.870 saying all the countries just need to work together. 0:15:17.890 --> 0:15:17.950 Oh. 0:15:19.870 --> 0:15:25.880 God new york times obama urges democrats to move ai 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.900 oversight to the center of their agenda. 0:15:28.900 --> 0:15:32.200 Yeah he told hakeem jeffries who very likely is going 0:15:32.220 --> 0:15:33.880 to be the speaker of the house in a year 0:15:33.900 --> 0:15:38.090 uh make this the center of democrats and anybody running 0:15:38.140 --> 0:15:41.010 for president in 2028 make this the center of their 0:15:41.110 --> 0:15:43.850 uh platform This is a great example of what I 0:15:43.850 --> 0:15:46.870 was talking about, how all these different points are, they 0:15:46.910 --> 0:15:50.030 have some validity to them. But like Barack Obama realizes 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.780 as a Democrat, one of their main strategies is scare 0:15:52.820 --> 0:15:55.600 people into giving us more power. Whether it's health care 0:15:55.660 --> 0:15:57.740 or global warming or now this. 0:15:58.100 --> 0:16:00.780 That's the strategy. Never let a crisis go to waste 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:01.970 over and over again. 0:16:02.310 --> 0:16:04.510 Well, and my fear, like I said last week, is 0:16:04.550 --> 0:16:08.630 that this becomes like masks or vaccines, an issue where 0:16:08.970 --> 0:16:12.390 one party is free. four worrying about this and the 0:16:12.410 --> 0:16:14.650 other party acts like it's no big deal and that 0:16:14.690 --> 0:16:17.610 would not be a good place to end up from 0:16:17.630 --> 0:16:18.330 the wall street. 0:16:18.130 --> 0:16:23.460 Journal at restaurants phones are becoming the new cigarettes. 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.480 Oh i hope so that'd be awesome yeah that would 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.700 be awesome if you see somebody on their phone or 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:30.520 talking on their phone in a restaurant it's like it's 0:16:30.540 --> 0:16:33.890 like they're smoking at their table Yeah, I was all 0:16:33.950 --> 0:16:36.150 excited about that article, but turns out they just cited 0:16:36.190 --> 0:16:40.250 a few examples like in hipster enclaves. But maybe it's 0:16:40.350 --> 0:16:42.730 green shoots, as they say, the beginning of something. I 0:16:44.210 --> 0:16:46.150 thought this one was bizarre from study finds. 0:16:46.970 --> 0:16:52.800 Seattle has nine times more coyotes per square mile than 0:16:52.900 --> 0:16:56.440 Washington's wildlands. Wow. 0:16:57.940 --> 0:16:58.120 Huh. 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.100 Where do they live? They're just roaming the streets. There's 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.880 just a bunch of pictures of coyotes roaming the streets. 0:17:04.220 --> 0:17:06.980 Are they on drugs? A lot of humans are. Probably. 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.399 And finally, from the Babylon Bee, man paying $ 5 a 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.240 gallon for gas sure is glad that he stuck it 0:17:14.270 --> 0:17:16.270 to Elon Musk by getting rid of his Tesla. 0:17:17.010 --> 0:17:21.689 Yeah, I got flipped off good and hard yesterday in 0:17:21.730 --> 0:17:26.730 my Tesla by somebody who hates Elon. Everything's got to 0:17:26.770 --> 0:17:29.790 be coded as something. That's what I'm saying about AI. 0:17:29.850 --> 0:17:32.290 If it becomes coded, then we're really doomed. 0:17:34.210 --> 0:17:40.900 Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.690 Elon with a very short tweet over the weekend. Dario 0:17:47.750 --> 0:17:51.139 is right about the essay that was put out. from 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.520 Anthropic about the dangers of AI, and we'll talk about 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.709 that a little bit later, the developments that happened over 0:17:55.750 --> 0:18:03.330 the last 72 hours. Man, this rant speech performance by 0:18:03.410 --> 0:18:06.010 Bill Maher from Friday night is getting a lot of 0:18:06.070 --> 0:18:11.340 attention in all circles, certainly a lot of positive attention 0:18:11.380 --> 0:18:15.660 among a lot of my favorite right-leaning people as he 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:21.959 took on the whole topic of Islamo-fascism in 9-11 and 0:18:21.980 --> 0:18:25.820 the way we look at it currently versus then. And 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:33.290 Bill Maher has been pretty consistently hardcore against any soft-peddling 0:18:34.090 --> 0:18:39.570 Muslim fundamentalism over the years. He did some of that 0:18:39.630 --> 0:18:40.889 on Friday night. Let's listen to it. 0:18:41.430 --> 0:18:44.660 So much has changed since 9-11. For example, back then, 0:18:44.940 --> 0:18:46.240 we were against the terrorists. 0:18:50.990 --> 0:18:51.879 Really, no cap. 0:18:54.300 --> 0:18:56.899 Now, a lot of media outlets don't even want you 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.440 to say the T word. On the 20th anniversary, four 0:19:00.540 --> 0:19:05.260 American journalism associations put out guidance that said that terrorism 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.600 should only be used in quotes because it's emotionally and 0:19:08.660 --> 0:19:12.800 politically loaded. We can't anymore just say out loud who 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:17.180 the bad guys were that morning, those 19 hijackers. They 0:19:17.220 --> 0:19:20.490 shared something. Oh, let's call it a worldview. and it 0:19:20.530 --> 0:19:25.970 wasn't astrology. But somehow over time, we've decided not to 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.840 harp on that, the whole business about who wanted us 0:19:28.940 --> 0:19:31.300 dead and why. Let's not put a name on it. 0:19:31.580 --> 0:19:34.260 When it comes to terrorist attacks, please, there are very 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:35.780 fine people on both sides. 0:19:39.460 --> 0:19:40.140 He goes on. 0:19:40.420 --> 0:19:44.290 Canadian state TV told its reporters, do not refer to 0:19:44.330 --> 0:19:49.390 the September 11th attacks as terrorist attacks. No, even though 0:19:49.410 --> 0:19:53.060 the very definition of terrorism is using violence against civilians 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.360 to pursue ideological goals? What should we call it then? 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:03.419 Unruly passengers? A wrong turn taken at the Chrysler building? 0:20:09.740 --> 0:20:11.880 Why not just say the planes and the towers got 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:17.440 into a fight? I mean, after all, as the BBC 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.619 advised its reporters, using the word terrorist can be a, quote, 0:20:21.770 --> 0:20:25.610 barrier rather than an aid to understanding. You know what's 0:20:25.670 --> 0:20:27.630 really a barrier to understanding? 0:20:28.070 --> 0:20:28.510 Lying. 0:20:32.869 --> 0:20:35.450 Yeah, I absolutely love that, and I love the attention 0:20:35.490 --> 0:20:37.609 it's getting. The only thing I worry about is people 0:20:37.630 --> 0:20:40.109 will think, well, we just have to explain to the 0:20:40.130 --> 0:20:42.270 young people that the bad guys were the terrorists. But 0:20:42.410 --> 0:20:45.730 what they don't understand is that the kids have picked up, 0:20:45.750 --> 0:20:49.600 the young people have picked up an entire worldview from 0:20:49.619 --> 0:20:53.500 their education that tells them that the U.S. is bad, 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.859 therefore anybody who attacks the U.S. can't be all that bad, 0:20:57.140 --> 0:21:00.139 and they probably have good reasons. They believe that about 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.900 a hundred different things. They believe that about Luigi Mangione, 0:21:04.380 --> 0:21:07.610 and even that poor young mom who got stabbed by 0:21:07.660 --> 0:21:10.520 a lunatic. Well, she's part of the power establishment, so 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:14.660 I know she's bad, so it's good she died. I mean, man, 0:21:14.780 --> 0:21:18.580 this is a tumor that is deep. 0:21:19.220 --> 0:21:22.160 How about the entities that make the journalism rules saying 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:24.200 you need to put terrorists in quote and should avoid 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.389 that word if possible because it's so loaded? 0:21:27.190 --> 0:21:27.470 What? 0:21:28.210 --> 0:21:28.970 Yeah, yeah. 0:21:29.850 --> 0:21:32.530 That's a very, very. 0:21:33.450 --> 0:21:37.109 Even-handed excuse for doing what they want to do for 0:21:37.150 --> 0:21:38.320 the reasons I've just explained. 0:21:39.170 --> 0:21:40.409 That is amazing. 0:21:40.910 --> 0:21:45.180 Yeah, it's a very honorable-sounding way to kind of defang 0:21:45.220 --> 0:21:45.880 what happened. 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.160 Yeah, I read a number of pieces over the weekend, 0:21:49.780 --> 0:21:54.899 one of them pointing out that on September 12th, the 0:21:54.940 --> 0:21:57.600 day after, if you'd have been told there wouldn't be 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:00.270 another major terrorist attack in the next quarter of a century, 0:22:00.290 --> 0:22:01.700 you wouldn't have believed it, I wouldn't have believed it, 0:22:02.910 --> 0:22:06.129 that we did a really good job of, you know. 0:22:08.260 --> 0:22:10.300 Both outside and inside the united states finding a way 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:12.560 to stop that but you also wouldn't have believed and 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:16.260 this would have been more shocking that 25 years later 0:22:17.510 --> 0:22:21.510 people wouldn't want to call it out as fundamentalist islam 0:22:21.630 --> 0:22:24.230 or use the word terrorist or all kinds of stuff 0:22:24.270 --> 0:22:28.770 you'd have thought well that's not possible i mean that's crazy. 0:22:28.369 --> 0:22:31.460 But that's what happened patently obvious right and even like 0:22:31.500 --> 0:22:36.070 the re-promoting of Osama bin Laden's letter to the American people. Now, 0:22:36.430 --> 0:22:39.520 it gets quoted all the time, very small sections of it, 0:22:39.570 --> 0:22:42.350 by the woke crowd to explain that it was just, 0:22:42.390 --> 0:22:46.250
