WEBVTT - I Can't Take Being Poor Again! 0:00:06.410 --> 0:00:10.250 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:10.270 --> 0:00:12.250 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:12.330 --> 0:00:14.510 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:14.710 --> 0:00:16.009 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:16.230 --> 0:00:21.750 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.940 Humanoid robots in China are breaking human records for speed, 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:38.159 running 100 meter faster than sprinter Usain Bolt. At the 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:42.480 humanoid games, machines big and small also compete in events 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.580 where they hit hard and jump high. 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.339 The event in its second. 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:50.170 Year being promoted heavily by China's government and shows how 0:00:50.229 --> 0:00:53.510 getting ahead in robotics is a national priority here. 0:00:54.630 --> 0:00:57.190 Well, at least they don't have AI brains. I'm sorry, 0:00:57.230 --> 0:01:00.990 the control room is talking to me. Oh, my God. 0:01:01.850 --> 0:01:04.350 China working as fast and as hard as they can 0:01:04.450 --> 0:01:10.970 to have AI-driven, guided superhuman robots. 0:01:11.130 --> 0:01:14.880 Well, for some reason, the most disturbing one recently I've 0:01:14.900 --> 0:01:16.480 heard is when they talked about, I think it was 0:01:16.500 --> 0:01:20.520 that same report, that they're testing them in extreme cold 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.959 and extreme heat. I mean, you ain't doing that just 0:01:24.020 --> 0:01:26.380 because you want to display how your robot can run 0:01:26.420 --> 0:01:29.119 really fast. No, no, no, no. You're building super soldiers. 0:01:29.740 --> 0:01:30.759 Yeah. 0:01:30.980 --> 0:01:33.880 And that's horrifying. Now we all, you've probably seen the 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.500 video of the sprinters then running into the wall and 0:01:36.580 --> 0:01:38.990 flipping over on their backs like turtles and their legs 0:01:39.050 --> 0:01:41.289 flailing around. But I'm sure they'll get that worked out. 0:01:41.850 --> 0:01:44.830 Well, and if they have 5,000 coming at you in 0:01:44.850 --> 0:01:46.929 your position, then, you know, the one that runs into 0:01:46.970 --> 0:01:51.740 a tree is briefly amusing. Let's continue on a couple 0:01:51.780 --> 0:01:55.580 of other accounts of where we are in this situation. 50, Michael. 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.700 China's made embodied AI, which is essentially AI in a 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.500 physical body, a national priority. And the government has backed research, 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.600 training centers and real world testing as so many Chinese 0:02:05.660 --> 0:02:08.620 universities and companies have raced to build better robot bodies 0:02:09.030 --> 0:02:10.890 and even smarter robot brains. 0:02:12.090 --> 0:02:15.030 To help build cars, right? Next clip. 0:02:15.470 --> 0:02:19.810 Engineer Yang Kun says this robot has other real-life capabilities. 0:02:20.340 --> 0:02:22.740 It can also do some combat and maybe go into 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.440 the military. How far away are we from having robot soldiers? 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.560 I think five to ten years. The fact that most 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:35.270 news reports never mention that is hilarious. Of course, we 0:02:35.290 --> 0:02:38.350 beat up David Muir of ABC last week. That should 0:02:38.370 --> 0:02:41.120 have been a scandal. That should have been the damn 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:45.060 scandal that David Muir actually goes to China to watch 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.690 the robots do their thing and talks up how amazing 0:02:48.730 --> 0:02:50.750 the robots are. Look how high this one can jump. 0:02:51.030 --> 0:02:55.079 And don't have anybody on to say... You know, there 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:59.139 are military capabilities or aspects to this whole story. And 0:02:59.180 --> 0:03:02.820 then the fact that this company, their IPO released the 0:03:02.860 --> 0:03:05.220 next day at a super high. So ABC did an 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.560 ad for a Chinese company, which means you're doing it 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.640 for the Chinese Communist Party because they're all tied together. 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.180 ABC did an ad for a Chinese company touting their 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.160 robots and didn't even brush up against the topic of 0:03:17.210 --> 0:03:18.030 the military use. 0:03:18.450 --> 0:03:21.180 Didn't even have a five second clip of some academic saying, 0:03:21.220 --> 0:03:23.400 on the other hand, this is clearly dual uses. It 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.500 could be employed by them. Didn't even bother. 0:03:26.220 --> 0:03:26.440 Yes. 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.880 That's the only reason they're doing what that and and 0:03:29.060 --> 0:03:33.239 and and factories, because there's that aspect, too. If if 0:03:33.540 --> 0:03:36.610 China beats us in the AI race or if they're 0:03:36.630 --> 0:03:42.390 better at it. There's no reason Elon claims our economy 0:03:42.470 --> 0:03:45.030 is going to be 30 times bigger in 20 years 0:03:45.090 --> 0:03:46.550 or whatever it is, and it will just be a 0:03:46.710 --> 0:03:49.650 wash in money. There's no reason China's can't do the 0:03:49.690 --> 0:03:50.390 same thing. 0:03:50.830 --> 0:03:54.830 Sure. Right. And to your point about the Chinese maker 0:03:54.850 --> 0:03:59.450 of humanoid robots and its stunning trading debut on their 0:03:59.490 --> 0:04:04.030 stock exchange to achieve the market value of $ 51 billion 0:04:04.090 --> 0:04:06.170 like day one, I haven't seen how it's done lately. 0:04:06.210 --> 0:04:09.570 But Unitree Robotics is the first humanoid maker to list 0:04:09.740 --> 0:04:12.070 in mainland China and stands at the forefront of the 0:04:12.130 --> 0:04:17.560 geopolitical competition between Washington and Beijing. Last month, the U.S. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.520 banned most imports of new humanoid robot models, citing an 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.700 immediate national security threat. It's funny that didn't make ABC News. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:30.719 You're a traitor to your country, David Muir. I'm not kidding. 0:04:31.580 --> 0:04:37.510 That is just outlandish. That you presented that as a 0:04:37.630 --> 0:04:41.190 feel-good kind of fun story, that China has these amazing 0:04:41.230 --> 0:04:44.850 robots that look like guys and can jump really high 0:04:44.870 --> 0:04:48.219 and run really fast and stand extreme temperatures and not 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.800 at all be a grown-up about the story. You're a traitor, 0:04:51.820 --> 0:04:53.780 David Muir. I hate you. I actually hate you. 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.540 Yep, indeed. I'm not even going to call him a 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.190 bent-nose jackass because these charges are much more serious, so 0:05:00.230 --> 0:05:02.610 I won't distract you. For what it's worth, and this 0:05:02.650 --> 0:05:04.530 story came out in the Wall Street Journal the day 0:05:04.730 --> 0:05:09.390 after that commercial for the communist robot maker. For its part, 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.920 the Chinese government has identified, quote, embodied artificial intelligence, meaning 0:05:13.980 --> 0:05:18.060 robots and other devices that apply AI to the physical world. 0:05:18.460 --> 0:05:21.640 That's one of their six future industries expected to drive 0:05:21.660 --> 0:05:24.279 the economy over the next five years. It is among 0:05:24.300 --> 0:05:25.820 their highest priorities. 0:05:28.620 --> 0:05:32.980 Last week, a payment company called Stripe that I'd never 0:05:33.020 --> 0:05:36.750 heard of in my life said that AI has achieved 0:05:36.810 --> 0:05:40.490 the long-awaited singularity, which is a term that gets thrown 0:05:40.529 --> 0:05:45.470 around by computer AI types, which is when you reach 0:05:45.529 --> 0:05:48.930 the point that AI can improve itself beyond what humans 0:05:49.010 --> 0:05:53.270 can contribute. It's improving itself. Lots of companies have declared 0:05:53.350 --> 0:05:56.370 that we're there or we're a week from there. And 0:05:56.390 --> 0:05:58.640 then some experts come along and say it'll never happen. 0:05:58.700 --> 0:06:03.380 But if it does happen, Katie barred the door. I 0:06:03.420 --> 0:06:06.060 can't believe I'm going to live through watching this unfold. 0:06:06.779 --> 0:06:09.080 It's kind of exciting while being terrifying. 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:14.349 Yeah, I, for one, welcome our Chinese communist robot overlords. 0:06:15.910 --> 0:06:20.599 Given the fact that they can be not only directed remotely, 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.520 which we're used to in drone warfare, but they can 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.660 be sent forth with, and we talked about this in 0:06:25.779 --> 0:06:32.250 aerial drones yesterday, specifically Russia, now sending entirely AI-driven drones 0:06:32.430 --> 0:06:36.110 into Ukraine. And they have specific targets, but they're told, hey, 0:06:36.250 --> 0:06:38.070 if you can identify a good target, go ahead and 0:06:38.110 --> 0:06:41.190 blow it up. You have thousands of these robots with 0:06:41.250 --> 0:06:45.810 similar programming. To say it'll change the face of warfare 0:06:45.890 --> 0:06:47.479 is a hilarious understatement. 0:06:48.220 --> 0:06:51.400 Well, and then if we actually hit the singularity at 0:06:51.460 --> 0:06:55.080 some point, change the face of warfare, change the face 0:06:55.240 --> 0:07:02.370 of absolutely everything on planet Earth so fast, you realize, 0:07:02.470 --> 0:07:04.550 and Elon's talked about this, lots of people have, if 0:07:04.589 --> 0:07:09.610 it actually happens, ASI, artificial superintelligence, where it can learn 0:07:09.650 --> 0:07:12.740 on its own, and the speed at which it will learn, 0:07:15.620 --> 0:07:21.400 everything will be different in a week. I mean, everything 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:28.300 you assumed about everything, investment, warfare, medicine, you know, throw 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.240 in some good stuff, education. I don't know if you 0:07:31.260 --> 0:07:32.680 have time to worry about the good stuff because all 0:07:32.700 --> 0:07:35.400 the bad stuff will be so scary. But we'll change 0:07:35.620 --> 0:07:40.700 so rapidly. It's just, it's unimaginable where this is going. 0:07:41.090 --> 0:07:43.890 I hope it can't happen. I hope that the singularity 0:07:44.010 --> 0:07:46.870 for real can't happen, but that wouldn't be my bet. 0:07:46.910 --> 0:07:47.010 Yeah. 0:07:49.980 --> 0:07:52.840 I can't take being poor again. I didn't like it 0:07:52.880 --> 0:08:00.320 the first time. I'm a hell of a lot less 0:08:00.430 --> 0:08:01.550 tough than I used to be. 0:08:01.770 --> 0:08:05.250 It's like the Louis C.K. thing that I've mentioned several times, 0:08:05.390 --> 0:08:08.850 the comedian, where he says, I'm in the rare situation 0:08:08.890 --> 0:08:12.670 where I've had my financial advisor tell me twice, you 0:08:12.690 --> 0:08:16.869 now have a million dollars. First time was awesome. 0:08:17.450 --> 0:08:17.930 Yeah. 0:08:17.950 --> 0:08:20.350 Second time, not so much. Yeah. 0:08:20.730 --> 0:08:23.170 Yeah. Oof. Yeah. 0:08:23.350 --> 0:08:24.170 Well, I'm sorry. 0:08:24.270 --> 0:08:26.990 Our AI overlords have shut down the entire banking system, 0:08:27.030 --> 0:08:29.370 and there's no way to access your investments. I mean, 0:08:29.430 --> 0:08:32.910 all they were were zeros and ones anyway. So, yeah, sorry, Joe. 0:08:33.830 --> 0:08:36.430 We got an opening down at the shoe store. Oh, no, 0:08:36.460 --> 0:08:37.979 we don't. There's a robot doing it. 0:08:38.380 --> 0:08:39.880 What the f * * * type of AI s * * * 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:40.340 is this? 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:41.880 That's what we're asking. 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.140 I was watching an interview with Elon. Well, I'll tell 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.620 you about what I saw with Elon right after this. 0:08:48.070 --> 0:08:52.130 You know, Jackie, even if Chinese communist robot overlords are 0:08:53.050 --> 0:08:57.050 cascading across the landscape, we can still enjoy the companionship 0:08:57.070 --> 0:08:57.670 of our dogs. 0:08:57.850 --> 0:08:59.710 I was just watching on TV. So if I have 0:08:59.750 --> 0:09:02.330 a robot dog, those really cool robot dogs like I 0:09:02.370 --> 0:09:04.050 saw the United States has, do I need to feed 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:05.660 them rough greens or are they OK without it? 0:09:06.300 --> 0:09:09.000 I would guess no. You probably have to like change 0:09:09.059 --> 0:09:13.200 its oil. 10,000 barks or something. I don't know. 0:09:15.980 --> 0:09:20.439 But your actual dog needs nutrients, of course, like live probiotics, 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.179 digestive enzymes, omega oils, over 20 vitamins and minerals, all natural, 0:09:24.220 --> 0:09:26.460 made right here in the USA from Rough Greens that 0:09:26.490 --> 0:09:28.750 you sprinkle on your dog's food.

It makes it better. 0:09:58.870 --> 0:10:02.520 So while we're talking... CBS has the highlights and lowlights 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:07.119 of the robot games, which were way more to it 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.300 than I realized. It was like the Olympic Games. They 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.719 had all these different sports. They had a march in 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:13.819 like the teams do. 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:14.980 Oh, boy. 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.900 It's really extraordinary. I'm watching boxing now. 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:19.000 Oh, boy. 0:10:20.300 --> 0:10:25.140 Gymnastics, wow, tumbling, doing, you know, jumps in the air 0:10:25.210 --> 0:10:28.630 like you're Simone Biles and landing on your feet, weightlifting, 0:10:28.770 --> 0:10:32.530 all the different stuff these robots are doing today. And, 0:10:32.809 --> 0:10:35.790 you know, we're not even to the super amazing AI 0:10:35.830 --> 0:10:36.829 that's coming any day. 0:10:37.150 --> 0:10:37.420 Just.. 0:10:37.910 --> 0:10:41.130 Anyway, the video that made me laugh was the sprint 0:10:41.450 --> 0:10:44.070 that everybody's talked about so much outran Usain Bolt. And 0:10:44.110 --> 0:10:46.380 so they don't stop. They run into the wall. They 0:10:46.410 --> 0:10:48.339 flip over. Their legs are flailing. And then a bunch 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.420 of people run out with hoses and fire extinguishers and 0:10:51.460 --> 0:10:53.840 start spraying them because I guess they thought they were 0:10:53.860 --> 0:10:55.840 going to burst into flames or something. I don't know 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:56.660 what's going on there. 0:10:57.260 --> 0:11:00.950 Wow. Wow. I missed that part. That's kind of funny. 0:11:00.970 --> 0:11:03.069 I know. I had not seen that. Who cut off 0:11:03.110 --> 0:11:05.610 the video so we didn't see that part? Who's behind 0:11:05.650 --> 0:11:06.670 the robot games? 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:09.079 The Chinese Communist Party. 0:11:11.179 --> 0:11:17.020 You're right. China's humanoid robot dominance is the headline on CBS. 0:11:18.990 --> 0:11:20.470 And I wonder, I'm going to have to go back 0:11:20.510 --> 0:11:23.170 and watch this report that's on there right now, Hanson. 0:11:23.190 --> 0:11:27.890 They even have robot cheerleaders with bomb bombs. Part of 0:11:27.910 --> 0:11:31.650 the robot games was showing robots like in a factory setting, 0:11:31.809 --> 0:11:33.930 filling bottles with the liquid and putting a lid on 0:11:33.970 --> 0:11:35.710 it and moving it down the line, which is its 0:11:35.770 --> 0:11:36.589 own interesting thing. 0:11:37.410 --> 0:11:42.870 Right, right. There shouldn't be two practically unimaginable horrors weighing 0:11:42.970 --> 0:11:45.370 on us in a given day. But you got your 0:11:45.450 --> 0:11:49.640 artificial general intelligence. Even if we don't hit that, I'm 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:58.000 picturing war, conquest. Let's let's use conquest with no human cost, 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:02.429 just financial cost. sending armies of robots, you know, they 0:12:02.450 --> 0:12:04.429 got a lot of oil over there. Never mind U.S. 0:12:05.100 --> 0:12:08.179 sanctions and buying Iran's oil. We'll just send a robot 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.260 army in, terrorize them until they give in, say, all right, 0:12:11.300 --> 0:12:14.859 you're in charge now. How much conquest will there be 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:18.540 around the world when there's no cost in soldiers or 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:20.360 vanishingly small? 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.060 The rules will be the same they've been since the 0:12:23.100 --> 0:12:26.050 dawn of man and will be forever. It's the saying 0:12:26.090 --> 0:12:28.910 you always have, the strong do what they can and 0:12:28.929 --> 0:12:31.130 the weak do what they must, or whatever it is. 0:12:31.150 --> 0:12:33.229 Not close enough, yeah. 0:12:36.460 --> 0:12:39.020 The only thing you can do is be rich enough 0:12:39.059 --> 0:12:41.640 and powerful enough that you can stop the evildoers from 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.020 taking you over, I guess. But anyway, my question is 0:12:44.059 --> 0:12:48.330 going to be, did CBS News touch on the military 0:12:48.429 --> 0:12:51.300 likelihood of this stuff? Or did they pretend that this 0:12:51.370 --> 0:12:53.210 is all just kind of fun and games and look, 0:12:53.250 --> 0:12:56.829 the the robots can box. Let's screw up, people. Let's 0:12:56.990 --> 0:12:59.610 quit pretending that that's what China or we are doing 0:12:59.630 --> 0:13:02.550 with robots. They were just trying to like just it's 0:13:02.570 --> 0:13:06.349 like a sophomore high school science experiment. Oh, my God, 0:13:06.390 --> 0:13:09.490 this robot can jump this high. No, it's about creating 0:13:09.570 --> 0:13:11.370 super soldiers. And, you know, it is. 0:13:11.950 --> 0:13:12.170 Yeah. 0:13:13.330 --> 0:13:14.949 So let's not pretend that it's not. 0:13:15.330 --> 0:13:17.700 Is ABC Disney trying to make inroads in China and 0:13:17.740 --> 0:13:19.880 they agreed to run that two minute commercial? 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:21.460 I don't know. 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:23.280 There's got to be an explanation. 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:24.380 Hey, news organizations. 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.920 They couldn't possibly be that stupid and incompetent. 0:13:27.220 --> 0:13:29.460 No, you wouldn't think so. Hey, news organizations, if you 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:33.330 don't at least have a think tank guy who says 0:13:33.490 --> 0:13:40.790 now the military capabilities or applications of these robots are 0:13:40.850 --> 0:13:44.910 terrifying and here's how, then you're either a bad journalist 0:13:44.950 --> 0:13:47.870 or you are not a patriot because that's what's going 0:13:48.110 --> 0:13:51.870 on here. Let's not fool ourselves. China is asshole. Well, 0:13:51.890 --> 0:13:52.250 there's that too. 0:13:52.270 --> 0:13:53.070 So is David Muir. 0:13:53.570 --> 0:13:54.310 Wow. 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.160 That was devastating. Text line, if you have any comments 0:13:58.220 --> 0:14:12.179 on that, 415-295-KFTC. Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:14:13.770 --> 0:14:16.569 President Trump threatening Canadian leaders to fall in line as 0:14:16.610 --> 0:14:19.710 he threatens to impose new 50% tariffs on car parts, 0:14:19.790 --> 0:14:22.510 cars and steel. On top of the steep tariffs he's 0:14:22.550 --> 0:14:27.820 already imposed on furniture, textiles, building supplies and alcohol. Canada responding, 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:31.100 vowing to impose a dollar for dollar tariff on their own. 0:14:31.500 --> 0:14:34.480 The president brushing that off, writing on social media, we 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:35.380 don't need Canada. 0:14:35.580 --> 0:14:36.260 They need us. 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:36.880 Yeah. 0:14:37.180 --> 0:14:41.120 Truth social post today from Donald Trump saying something like 0:14:41.180 --> 0:14:42.760 I don't have in front of me, but something like 0:14:43.260 --> 0:14:46.600 Canada took 60 billion dollars from us last year. That 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.690 ends now. That sort of thing. So you have some 0:14:49.710 --> 0:14:51.240 breaking news. Is that going to ruin the fun of 0:14:51.270 --> 0:14:52.920 this or is it fit in with this or what? 0:14:52.940 --> 0:14:55.480 Should we do the fun first and then what do 0:14:55.500 --> 0:14:55.840 you want to do? 0:14:56.260 --> 0:15:00.900 Well, Canada's, as promised, announced retaliatory tariffs of up to 0:15:00.900 --> 0:15:05.500 50 percent on roughly 700 products as the acrimony between 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.120 Ottawa and Washington escalates. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:11.120 So the tariffs on the really serious stuff like cars 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.800 and aluminum and steel don't start till January. My guess 0:15:14.820 --> 0:15:18.800 would be that never happens. So who's Doug Ford now? 0:15:18.820 --> 0:15:21.320 We used to enjoy his brother so much. 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.640 Yeah, his brother has passed, unfortunately. Doug Ford is the 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:28.110 head guy in the province of Ontario, a highly populous 0:15:28.150 --> 0:15:30.370 and important trade partner of the United States. 0:15:30.410 --> 0:15:32.990 His brother was a big-time politician who was so fun, 0:15:33.030 --> 0:15:34.750 but then became a drug addict and went off the 0:15:34.770 --> 0:15:37.590 rails and died. Anyway, here's what Doug Ford had to 0:15:37.630 --> 0:15:38.550 say about all this yesterday. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.140 Well, he can kiss my ass as far as I'm concerned. 0:15:41.180 --> 0:15:44.000 We're going to go at him full steam. We need 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.640 to throw everything in the kitchen sink at him. He's arrogant. 0:15:47.740 --> 0:15:51.359 He's cocky. And, you know, as Ronald Reagan said, if 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.480 you come to a draw with a bully, what stops 0:15:53.500 --> 0:15:55.940 that bully from coming after you the next day and 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.590 the next day? And that's all Donald Trump is, is 0:15:58.650 --> 0:15:59.010 a bully. 0:16:00.110 --> 0:16:02.550 Are we going to let politicians in Canada say kiss 0:16:02.590 --> 0:16:04.630 my ass to the president of the United States? A 0:16:04.690 --> 0:16:07.890 reporter asked Doug Ford about his controversial comments. 0:16:08.290 --> 0:16:10.230 You sound a little more subdued than you did this 0:16:10.290 --> 0:16:12.830 morning on the radio when you said, Donald Trump could 0:16:12.870 --> 0:16:15.670 kiss your ass, did the Prime Minister ask you to 0:16:15.710 --> 0:16:16.570 tone it down a bit? 0:16:16.870 --> 0:16:20.690 No, he didn't. I'm not going to comment, but he 0:16:20.710 --> 0:16:22.870 wasn't against that. And I have a lot of real 0:16:22.930 --> 0:16:24.940 estate on my ass, so he has a lot of 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:25.920 room to kiss my ass. 0:16:29.660 --> 0:16:32.160 I just do. I'm a big dude. 0:16:32.180 --> 0:16:32.740 What can I say? 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:36.620 That's Doug Ford mentioning how many centimeters across his ass 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.710 is as they use the metric system up there. Use inches, 0:16:40.750 --> 0:16:45.430 you furrner. One more clip from Doug Ford. 0:16:45.810 --> 0:16:47.950 You know, I'm not going to, I'm just not going 0:16:47.970 --> 0:16:51.090 to take the bait. This guy's a loser. He's going 0:16:51.110 --> 0:16:53.610 to be a loser. And simple as that. We're going 0:16:53.630 --> 0:16:56.770 to fight with everything we have. And, uh, you know, 0:16:56.790 --> 0:16:59.380 something I have more courage, more brains in my baby 0:16:59.430 --> 0:17:02.420 toe than he has in his whole body. So there 0:17:02.460 --> 0:17:02.700 you go. 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:04.180 That's not helping. 0:17:04.380 --> 0:17:05.160 No, it's not. 0:17:05.260 --> 0:17:05.640 It's not. 0:17:05.700 --> 0:17:07.560 You're you're you're. Yeah. I don't like that. 0:17:08.500 --> 0:17:12.100 Hey, you know, it's a whole trade deficit thing. Number one. 0:17:12.970 --> 0:17:15.700 having a trade deficit with somebody isn't getting ripped off. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:17.840 It just has to do with who has more wealth 0:17:18.020 --> 0:17:21.000 and who has what somebody wants to buy. Secondly, we 0:17:21.020 --> 0:17:24.340 would have a trade surplus with Canada, except that we 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.899 buy so much of its crude oil, which is particularly 0:17:27.940 --> 0:17:32.140 well suited to our refineries. So I just, I don't know. 0:17:34.150 --> 0:17:37.210 The whole tariff thing, especially because it's raising prices at 0:17:37.609 --> 0:17:40.169 precisely the wrong moment to hang on to the Senate 0:17:40.210 --> 0:17:42.670 and the House and And God help us if Democrats 0:17:42.710 --> 0:17:46.590 get control of government. The woke thing will be resurgent. 0:17:46.910 --> 0:17:49.859 How about the whole rhetoric thing, though? Well, could we 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.840 get to like Doug Ford? Of course, you don't get 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.080 near as much attention in politics as politics all around 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:57.859 the world. You want to get attention. You want to 0:17:57.900 --> 0:18:00.780 look like a fighter. You want to get donations. But 0:18:00.900 --> 0:18:05.650 could you just make solid economic arguments for why what 0:18:05.730 --> 0:18:07.109 Trump is doing is a bad idea? 0:18:07.980 --> 0:18:12.659 As opposed to kiss my ass, kiss my extra fat ass. Well, 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.000 because then you get supporters on both sides. They want 0:18:15.020 --> 0:18:17.760 the ass kickings as opposed to the policies. My ass is. 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:18.980 So giant, kiss it. 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:21.600 Wow. 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:22.300 Wow. 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:27.600 He said it in English. We don't need you to translate, Jack. Okay. 0:18:27.859 --> 0:18:29.260 So we'll get into some of the other stories of 0:18:29.300 --> 0:18:30.460 the day that we have to touch on also. 0:18:32.740 --> 0:18:33.820 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:37.740 --> 0:18:43.730 The Armstrong and Getty Show. South Carolina is going to 0:18:43.750 --> 0:18:47.250 decide today whether or not Lindsey Graham's sister should be 0:18:47.270 --> 0:18:52.470 the Republican nominee for the Senate. I'm a no on that. 0:18:52.910 --> 0:18:54.230 We got a little more on that coming up. 0:18:54.260 --> 0:18:59.639 Yeah. Yeah. And whoever the Republican is, is most likely 0:18:59.940 --> 0:19:04.720 almost entirely certain to be the senator. So impactful indeed. 0:19:05.260 --> 0:19:05.859 Jesse Waters. 0:19:06.420 --> 0:19:14.629 Jesse Waters had. Abdul Al-Said, the Michigander Islamist candidate for 0:19:14.650 --> 0:19:17.869 the Senate on last night on Fox News. And they 0:19:17.910 --> 0:19:20.030 talked about a number of different topics. We're just going 0:19:20.050 --> 0:19:23.770 to touch on a couple of them. First of all, Al-Said, 0:19:23.810 --> 0:19:26.730 who I believe to be an Islamist masquerading as a 0:19:26.750 --> 0:19:30.359 Marxist in the time-honored Red-Green Alliance. 0:19:30.619 --> 0:19:34.760 Because he thinks there are lots of votes to be 0:19:34.820 --> 0:19:37.880 had by the young socialist crowd? Yeah, exactly. 0:19:39.100 --> 0:19:41.990 Yeah, certainly far more votes because he knows how to 0:19:42.050 --> 0:19:45.250 speak in code to the Muslim audience. And I've got 0:19:45.270 --> 0:19:47.690 a hundred examples of him speaking in code to them, 0:19:47.890 --> 0:19:51.139 telling them, don't worry, I am developed. I'm hardcore. I 0:19:51.220 --> 0:19:54.080 am with you that the American press either doesn't pick 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:55.679 up on or has no desire to pick up on. 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:57.899 So yeah, he, he signals he's a man of the 0:19:57.940 --> 0:20:01.640 left and tries to get the youthful lefty vote. Anyway, 0:20:01.660 --> 0:20:03.660 they talked about socialized healthcare here. 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.590 You say you want socialized healthcare. 0:20:07.390 --> 0:20:09.050 Abdul, how much is that going to cost? 0:20:09.070 --> 0:20:11.830 Well, It's gonna cost the average Michigander a whole lot 0:20:11.850 --> 0:20:13.830 less than they pay right now. But I'm just gonna 0:20:14.250 --> 0:20:16.629 tell you, I'm up against a guy who voted to 0:20:16.670 --> 0:20:21.550 raise prescription drug prices 19 times, 19 times, right? And 0:20:21.570 --> 0:20:23.669 so I'm just saying, I wanna bring your costs down. 0:20:24.190 --> 0:20:27.149 The price of the program is gonna be substantially less 0:20:27.290 --> 0:20:29.990 for an everyday person who's out here who can't afford 0:20:30.030 --> 0:20:31.990 their healthcare and worried about losing their healthcare. 0:20:31.710 --> 0:20:33.820 With their job. Give me the total number. 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:35.700 While you're out here trying to talk about the broader 0:20:35.740 --> 0:20:38.340 national budget, I'm a lot more interested in the everyday 0:20:38.380 --> 0:20:40.720 budgets that Michiganders are thinking about. And that's exactly the 0:20:40.740 --> 0:20:43.260 budget that Donald Trump and Mike Rogers are blowing up 0:20:43.300 --> 0:20:43.580 right now. 0:20:43.859 --> 0:20:46.500 And they got into, I think Jesse hit him with, 0:20:46.660 --> 0:20:50.609 it costs $ 17 trillion or whatever it would be to 0:20:50.650 --> 0:20:53.690 have Medicare for 10 years. But I hate that whole 0:20:53.770 --> 0:20:57.070 argument because it's a difficult one to win. The cost 0:20:57.150 --> 0:20:59.470 for your crowd that's standing in front of you and 0:20:59.510 --> 0:21:04.600 cheering is going to go They think down the taxes 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:07.360 are going to cover it. But you're like what you 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.240 what you pay at the doctor and all that will 0:21:10.260 --> 0:21:12.120 be much, much cheaper. And that's all people care about. 0:21:12.940 --> 0:21:16.699 Yeah, indeed. It's actually a pretty winning political argument. As 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:20.219
