Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong.
Speaker 2: And Jetty and no He Armstrong and Ytty Mayhem in
Speaker 2: the streets of Philadelphia after the or is that was
Speaker 2: that in New Orleans? That was in New Orleans for
Speaker 2: the by Eagles fans. Let can we try this all
Speaker 2: over again? Eagles fans Golden Brozerco after the Super Bowl win.
Speaker 2: They're drunk and they're out of their minds and punching
Speaker 2: cops and all that stuff. I don't know why we
Speaker 2: put I say this every time every sport, college, pro whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't know why we let the message get out there.
Speaker 2: You can get amazingly out of hand. You can destroy
Speaker 2: a city bus, you can punch cop, you can do
Speaker 2: all kinds of things after you win. It's perfectly we understand.
Speaker 2: How could you not Your team won well?
Speaker 1: And not to turn this overly serious, but the message
Speaker 1: that's sent and was sent several times in recent history
Speaker 1: around political violence is if you get a certain number
Speaker 1: of people, that's a permit to be lawless. And if
Speaker 1: your side tends to draw more people into the streets
Speaker 1: because I don't know, maybe they don't have freaking jobs.
Speaker 1: You get the license to be lawless. Now, the other side,
Speaker 1: which tends to have smaller assemblages, if they're in the
Speaker 1: least lawless, they will be busted and prosecuted the strongest
Speaker 1: extent the law permits, so we.
Speaker 2: I'm a Chiefs fan. I watched every Chiefs game this year.
Speaker 2: I attended one in person, Arrowhead. It seemed pretty clear
Speaker 2: to me from very beginning of the game was not
Speaker 2: their day. I mean, it just they looked like horrific. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was. It was a drubbing, and they just looked
Speaker 2: like they weren't even the same league as the other
Speaker 2: team for you know, for one day, which is why
Speaker 2: they play the games, as they say.
Speaker 1: As I said during the Super Bowl gathering I was
Speaker 1: at yesterday, it felt like an early season mismatch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: between a clear playoff team and a team that's in
Speaker 1: a rebuilding.
Speaker 2: You they got a brad new head coach. Blah blah blah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was it was just crazy. We're gonna talk commercials
Speaker 2: in a second, but I'm looking up at the TV
Speaker 2: and they're interviewing one of the offensive tackles for the Eagles,
Speaker 2: so we talked last week how they are the biggest
Speaker 2: offensive line ever to play in a Super Bowl. This guy,
Speaker 2: I'm looking at this guy up there be interviewed, and
Speaker 2: he's in street clothes sitting there with normal sized people,
Speaker 2: and he looks like a circus freak. I mean, nobody
Speaker 2: should be that much bigger and be the same species.
Speaker 2: But anyway, I thought this stat that they had during
Speaker 2: the game was amazing. So the the offensive line for
Speaker 2: the Eagles averages six ' six three forty averages sixty
Speaker 2: six three forty Super Bowl one. The average offensive line
Speaker 2: was for the offensive line was six three two forty five,
Speaker 2: almost one hundred pounds lighter per person. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: care how athletic you are. A guy who outweighs you
Speaker 2: by one hundred pounds can push you around. I mean,
Speaker 2: so any of your classic who would win between this
Speaker 2: team and that team? Thing very ridiculous for lots of
Speaker 2: reasons and lots of sports, but well, just.
Speaker 1: Physics in the king case of football, you got that
Speaker 1: much mass moving with that much speed, you.
Speaker 2: Got a lot of energy there, one hundred pounds heavier
Speaker 2: than they used to be. He's I mean, because you
Speaker 2: know a guy you know plenty of guys at work
Speaker 2: today who weigh two forty five. You don't know that
Speaker 2: many guys at weigh three forty five and who are
Speaker 2: quick as cats and can run, yeah, or capable of
Speaker 2: running around, by the way, in terms of being an obese.
Speaker 2: Before we get to the commercials, which has something to
Speaker 2: do with this, I was watching some of the commercials
Speaker 2: and thinking, I know there was a great commercial tool
Speaker 2: like I think at the very end of the game
Speaker 2: or whatever long one for. I don't know what it
Speaker 2: was for. As a guy who's in the advertising business,
Speaker 2: it's always been interesting to me that if you don't
Speaker 2: craft a commercial, that it's the main takeaway is your product.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure you accomplished anything. I mean, you're gonna
Speaker 2: have the funniest joke in the world or a cool
Speaker 2: cameo by a star, but if people don't remember what
Speaker 2: the product was, I'm not sure what you accomplished. But anyway,
Speaker 2: this particular commercial was about eating better and we all
Speaker 2: need to pull together to care about sugar and fat
Speaker 2: and the government is conspiring to I don't know what
Speaker 2: it was an ad for, but anyway, other than that,
Speaker 2: a little RFK Junior action there other than that one.
Speaker 2: Throughout the game, I thought the whole mystery as to
Speaker 2: why we're obese. Look at these commercials, just non stop.
Speaker 2: You can get a tub of ranch dressing and five
Speaker 2: thousand wings for nine dollars delivered deer door. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just endless commercials like that of stuff you should
Speaker 2: not only not eat much of, probably shouldn't ever eat.
Speaker 2: How many things were advertised yesterday that you really should
Speaker 2: never eat. You should never eat a pizza pizza, you
Speaker 2: should never eat a taco bell. You'd never do any
Speaker 2: of those things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so true. And the beauty is is westernization.
Speaker 1: Civilization spreads around the world, we obesity goes with it,
Speaker 1: and every developing nation that gets a GDP more than
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars per person, all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: They get fat. By the way, if you, for some
Speaker 2: reason are new to this show and think I'm one
Speaker 2: of those people that lecture on how you eat but
Speaker 2: and live some sort of priscene lifestyle, no, I guarantee
Speaker 2: you I've been a fast food joint more recently than you.
Speaker 1: So, speaking of commercials, have got the top ten here.
Speaker 1: If it proves, well, you know what that's it. I
Speaker 1: realized a long time ago. I am not America. I
Speaker 1: am America, but I'm not the masses of America I have.
Speaker 2: And I look at this list and I say, oh,
Speaker 2: come on, I haven't seen your long form birth certificates,
Speaker 2: so that's still up in the air.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough. So your top ten, and Michael, I
Speaker 1: see we have audio from some of them.
Speaker 2: Just yell at me. If we've got the audio, keep
Speaker 2: an eye out.
Speaker 1: Pfizer at number ten with knockout little Kid is a boxer.
Speaker 1: He defeated cancer, and Pfizer is there defeating cancer.
Speaker 2: It's it's nice. I gotta admit, for whatever reason my
Speaker 2: mood yesterday I skipped through because I was a little
Speaker 2: bit behind. I skipped through anything that was gonna tug
Speaker 2: at heart strings. I just didn't. I just wasn't in
Speaker 2: the mood for it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I tend to be a little too cynical to enjoy
Speaker 1: those because I'm thinking, Okay, who is an ah big pharma.
Speaker 1: That's got a bit of a pr issue going on
Speaker 1: right now. So they ought will remind everybody.
Speaker 2: Hey, we need good stuff too, which is absolutely true.
Speaker 2: It's absolutely true. But no, I don't I'm not a
Speaker 2: fan of trying to make me sad, weepy or reverent
Speaker 2: for money. I just just well profit. It's just weird exactly.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Pfizer came out in a gentlemanly way and said.
Speaker 1: Hey, look, there are controversies about pharmaceuticals these days.
Speaker 2: We understand that.
Speaker 1: I want to remind you though, that among the other
Speaker 1: things we do are developing the most innovative cancer drugs
Speaker 1: the world has ever seen.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. So don't hate us. We're doing our best.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm fine. Maybe I'm too close to the advertising
Speaker 2: business that I just take it in is we spent
Speaker 2: three million dollars on this thirty second commercial to make
Speaker 2: you sad so that we can make even more money.
Speaker 2: That's the way I write it.
Speaker 1: We want you to associate us with a beautiful little
Speaker 1: kid who's defeated cancer so we can have more money.
Speaker 2: This is the number nine ad Michael Clip twenty too.
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you to pay a tall place.
Speaker 2: No good, No, there we go. Oh my gosh, I'm
Speaker 2: so good. So this one's real. That is a sandwich.
Speaker 2: Oh she's older.
Speaker 1: Ladies need food gasms too. It was Hellman's when Sally
Speaker 1: met Hellman's taking off on the blah blah blah movie
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: I don't I didn't dig going to the really young
Speaker 2: chick talking about orgasms. I just don't say the word
Speaker 2: out loud. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't hate it. I
Speaker 2: was watching with my thirteen year old and I just
Speaker 2: got don't. I don't dig the hole. This is what
Speaker 2: women sound like when they have an orgasm. If you're lucky.
Speaker 2: Oh again, I will find a point you need to
Speaker 2: put on it. Jamney, you can leave some things on said.
Speaker 2: I'd like to sit here at commercial for restraint. He
Speaker 2: apparently is lost. Katie. I just thank you Jack for
Speaker 2: clearing that up because I was confused. Yeah, I thought
Speaker 2: you just like really liked the sandwich. Moving along.
Speaker 1: Number eight Uber Eats Century of Cravings, which was a
Speaker 1: big fun as a football fan. It was seen throughout
Speaker 1: football history and yeah, references to food and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: It's fine.
Speaker 1: Number seven was bud Light no longer down with the
Speaker 1: trans thing they wanted you to know over and over again.
Speaker 1: Big Men on cul de Sac was the theme is
Speaker 1: a couple of manly tattooed, hard guys, shot beer cannons
Speaker 1: around the neighborhood to jazz up the party.
Speaker 2: What's his name? The comedian was a good hire for
Speaker 2: bud Light for that whole sh Jane Gillis, Jane Gillis. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's hilarious and he is as not politically correct as
Speaker 2: you can possibly get, so, I mean, he is the
Speaker 2: right guy. But I thought that was just a good
Speaker 2: ad all the way around. I thought that was well done. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Number six, so you're you're mower is also a girl? No, no, no,
Speaker 2: my girl's a mower. Beautiful, beautiful. Loved it.
Speaker 1: Number six, Flag fifty it was the girls flag football
Speaker 1: should be in all fifty states thing. As always with
Speaker 1: the girl power ads, it just went way, way, way
Speaker 1: over the top.
Speaker 2: I love girls, I raised girls, I coached girls.
Speaker 1: It had that feeling of the average girl could beat
Speaker 1: the hell out of the average NFL linemen because they
Speaker 1: have girl power, which is just too much.
Speaker 2: But as nice, its nice as fine.
Speaker 1: Number five it was the I Am somebody ad with
Speaker 1: the little kids the NFL with a I thought that
Speaker 1: was sweet and beautiful.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that too, tugged at the heart strings. But successfully.
Speaker 1: Lord knows, little kids, especially in tough parts of the world,
Speaker 1: need to know they can be somebody, So that's nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of athletes do go around and
Speaker 2: doing that sort of stuff, which I think is cool
Speaker 2: in their neighborhoods. That's what the Walter Payton Award is
Speaker 2: that they gave before the game. That wasn't a just
Speaker 2: like what I was talking about earlier. We spent three
Speaker 2: million dollars so we could make more more money. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think they're trying to let you know that a
Speaker 2: lot of f NFL players do good stuff in their community.
Speaker 2: A lot of athletes do, which I love, which reminds me.
Speaker 2: Don't let me forget to talk about what Kanye tweeted
Speaker 2: out the other day and.
Speaker 1: Also make a wish kids if you helped. It wasn't
Speaker 1: crazy as hell. Oh it was crazy as hell. You know, Jack,
Speaker 1: We're ready for the top four, but I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the clock. We probably ought to take a break. Let's
Speaker 1: come back with those cool I like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kanye tweeted out a whole bunch of crazy stuff,
Speaker 2: like eighty tweets in a twenty four hour period, and
Speaker 2: they're all over the place. Nuts and he was trying
Speaker 2: so hard to It's like Hitler's my hero. I mean,
Speaker 2: just like all kinds of is really really trying hard
Speaker 2: to get attention, like and one of them was what
Speaker 2: reminded me of this was I skipped three MAGA Wish
Speaker 2: meetings last week and all three kids were in wheelchairs,
Speaker 2: he tweeted out for some reason. You know, I would.
Speaker 1: I would say to Kanye, look, we get that you're
Speaker 1: completely fruit loops.
Speaker 2: You don't have to keep trying again. You're solid, or
Speaker 2: you're trying to be provocative or whatever. We'll get those
Speaker 2: top super Bowl commercials and other stuff on the way.
Speaker 2: Stay here. I hate you because we from different neighborhoods.
Speaker 2: I hate you because you look different. I hate you
Speaker 2: because I don't understand you. I hate you because people
Speaker 2: I know hate you. I hate you because I think
Speaker 2: you hate me because I need someone to blame, because
Speaker 2: you talk different, because you act different, because you're just different.
Speaker 2: And then I hate that things are so bad that
Speaker 2: we have to do a commercial about it. Me too.
Speaker 1: I hate you because you broke Giselle's heart. I hate
Speaker 1: you because you kept beating my favorite teams back in
Speaker 1: the day. Again, the whole race relations are terrible and awful,
Speaker 1: and everybody knows it is invented by de Ei to
Speaker 1: gain power for neo Marxists. So I hate and anti
Speaker 1: that commercial thing for nothing.
Speaker 2: So anybody want more dip So let's see.
Speaker 1: Number ten Pfizer knockout number nine Hellman's. When Sally met
Speaker 1: Hellman's number than century he craves as big men on
Speaker 1: cul de sac flag fifty girl power. Number five was
Speaker 1: the NFL itself. I am somebody and I said number
Speaker 1: four go ahead, Michael, hit.
Speaker 2: It mom that we have something to tell you. You
Speaker 2: have a twin brother. May never told you about osor
Speaker 2: so what's his name? Other David? You called him of
Speaker 2: a David. There's two David. One has to be with
Speaker 2: a David. Where is he left them? In America? They
Speaker 2: you Beckham? Dave Beckham. Something I have to tell you.
Speaker 2: My brother is a famous opera player. Yeah, so how
Speaker 2: famous are you like Matt Damon famous? Maybe Ben Affleck famous.
Speaker 2: That's a show so charming.
Speaker 1: Stella artois David Beckham and Matt Damon as his twin
Speaker 1: brother Dave in America.
Speaker 2: I missed that commercial. Somehow I didn't see that one.
Speaker 2: It was fine. It was the celebrities winking at ourselves
Speaker 2: and them and said it air after the chiefs were
Speaker 2: already so beaten that I couldn't watch anymore. Maybe I
Speaker 2: do not know roughly well, right, yeah, when was that not?
Speaker 2: Number three?
Speaker 1: Very charming, very funny michelob ultra the ultra hustle with
Speaker 1: Christopher walking and what's her name hustling youngsters at the
Speaker 1: great game of pickle ball.
Speaker 2: That's not walking. That's what's that guy's name? Like, No,
Speaker 2: it's not come on, come on, Oh no, you're right,
Speaker 2: you're right, that's not. Of course, that's what's his face.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows. It'll pop into my head, Michael, look at me.
Speaker 2: Oh god, jeez, Katie, where are you? Wow? Why are
Speaker 2: you yelling at people? Because she's disappearable. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: figure it out for you. We're working on it. Okay,
Speaker 2: Damn it's a tag of the tip of my tongue.
Speaker 2: It's driving me crazy. Yes, for walking. Oh, you can
Speaker 2: just call them that if you want to go.
Speaker 1: Other David uh And then and then we get into
Speaker 1: America's love of Schmaltz, just unforgivable Schmaltz.
Speaker 2: Number two was lays of potatoes.
Speaker 1: The Little Farmer about a little girl who kills herself
Speaker 1: to raise one little potato then adds it to the
Speaker 1: giant cart full of potatoes at her dad's potato farm
Speaker 1: to become potato chips.
Speaker 2: And my eyes I just cried for an hour. It
Speaker 2: was so touching. The little girl works so hard, you
Speaker 2: are hardened. Well, I don't know, I just feel like
Speaker 2: so obvious. No, I'm not cynical about real life.
Speaker 1: I'm cynical about potato chip company is trying to manipulate
Speaker 1: my emotions.
Speaker 2: And then if you like that, you'll love this over
Speaker 2: potato chips of all things.
Speaker 1: Oh exactly, yeah, yeah, little girl was of normal weight,
Speaker 1: unlike her dad's customers anyway. Oh and then the number
Speaker 1: one jack If you love that one?
Speaker 2: He liked that one? You love that one?
Speaker 1: First delivery Budweiser, the plucky little Clyde's Dale who, in
Speaker 1: similar fashioned potato girl saw the keg roll off the
Speaker 1: cart and then worked and labored and walked for miles
Speaker 1: to deliver the keg to the bar. Because little horses,
Speaker 1: I believe in a timely beer delivery.
Speaker 2: That was the number one add according to admeter. Yes, sir,
Speaker 2: you gotta be kidding me. I'm telling you, Oh, I
Speaker 2: hate I hate America. I hate you people. Willem Dafoe, Yes,
Speaker 2: just popped in one of my all time favorite actors.
Speaker 2: He's in Wild at Heart, one of my all time
Speaker 2: favorite movies. I love, I love Willem Defau, close friend
Speaker 2: of Christopher. Everyone knows the horse rolling the beer keg
Speaker 2: to the bar, Cute little animals and cute little girls.
Speaker 2: But that's fine if that's what people like. Give give
Speaker 2: the people what they want. I can't. I can't give
Speaker 2: people what they want. If you want that, go somewhere else.
Speaker 2: Thirty seconds ago, I was folks, you remember that CBS
Speaker 2: out with some poll numbers yesterday. Really interesting since Trump's
Speaker 2: been at it for a while. How do people feel
Speaker 2: about various things? We can tell you that i'mong other
Speaker 2: things armstrong and getty.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister said this weekend to a group of
Speaker 2: Canadian businessmen. He was a private meeting. He said that
Speaker 2: your wish for Canada to be the fifty first state
Speaker 2: is a quote real thing. Is it a real thing?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 3: I think Canada would be much better of being a
Speaker 3: fifty first state. Because we lose two hundred billion dollars
Speaker 3: a year with Canada, and I'm.
Speaker 2: Not going to let that happens too much.
Speaker 3: Why are we paying two hundred billion dollars a year
Speaker 3: essentially in subsidy to Canada? Now if they're a fifty
Speaker 3: first state, I don't mind doing it.
Speaker 2: Part of the Super Bowl interview that Trump did, it
Speaker 2: has become a tradition for the sitting president to do
Speaker 2: an interview before the biggest television audience of the year.
Speaker 2: And who wouldn't take advantage of that opportunity. Joe Biden
Speaker 2: didn't because he couldn't.
Speaker 1: Talk, because he's same reason Kamala passed on Joe Rogan.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, Trump, you know what. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I hate to quibble, but the whole idea that trade
Speaker 1: deficit as a ripoff is just so not right. I
Speaker 1: don't know why he's so stuck on that, whether it's
Speaker 1: just a bargaining thing. But we have a giant country
Speaker 1: with loads of money. You have a little country with
Speaker 1: much less money. So yes, we buy more from you
Speaker 1: than you buy from us.
Speaker 2: It's fine. Uh. Trump is the ultimate troll, That's what
Speaker 2: I think he was doing there. And this happened. On Friday,
Speaker 2: Trump revoked Joe Biden's security clearance, stating there was no
Speaker 2: need for the former president's continued access, and then like
Speaker 2: an hour later, Trump said he planned to take control
Speaker 2: of the Kennedy Senator Center. That's where they have If
Speaker 2: you're in somebody in Washington, d C. You go to
Speaker 2: the Kennedy Center to watch singers and dancing and all
Speaker 2: kinds of stuff like that. It's it's a big deal.
Speaker 2: It's a big You have access to this and other
Speaker 2: people don't. It shows how important you are. Anyway, Trump
Speaker 2: said he planned to take control of the Kennedy Center
Speaker 2: and intended to fire several board members and install himself
Speaker 2: as chairman. Yes, no more drag shows. That was his
Speaker 2: main point. Yeah, so, which is fine. I just just
Speaker 2: find that awesome. So CBS out with their polling yesterday.
Speaker 2: The overall number being Trump's approval rating is at fifty
Speaker 2: three percent. It's the highest approval rating he's ever had.
Speaker 2: Last term and this term, after what the mainstream media
Speaker 2: calls is a awful, hectic, what will he do next? Scary,
Speaker 2: tumultuous time that has Americans reeling. He's got the highest
Speaker 2: approval rating he's ever had. So there's that mentioned already.
Speaker 2: He's got fifty nine percent, let's call it sixties around
Speaker 2: number support for deporting immigrants illegally in the United States
Speaker 2: with no qualifications on that question. How do you feel
Speaker 2: about Trump's program to deport immigrants illegally in the US?
Speaker 2: Fifty nine percent approval? How about sending US troops to
Speaker 2: the US Mexico border, which the media again portrayed as
Speaker 2: just insane, sixty four percent approval, So two out of
Speaker 2: four Americans, two out of three Americans are in favor.
Speaker 1: Of that outrageous, racist, militaristic never mind, it's fifty to
Speaker 1: fifty on large detention centers.
Speaker 2: While determining who should be deported, that's a fifty to
Speaker 2: fifty issue.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Trump's handling of the Israel Hamas conflict, He's above water
Speaker 2: on it, fifty four to forty six. But the idea
Speaker 2: of taking over Gaza, which he doesn't actually mean to do, no, see,
Speaker 2: that's the thing. He has no intention of actually doing that.
Speaker 2: But anyway, would it be a good idea for the
Speaker 2: United States to take out over Gaza? Only thirteen percent
Speaker 2: think it's a good idea, and you thirteen percent are nuts. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 2: I would agree. I just think with Trump, it's like, uh,
Speaker 2: I mean, I see.
Speaker 1: A big mansion on the water in Miami and I think,
Speaker 1: or maybe i'd stated my wife over a cocktail boy,
Speaker 1: it'd be great to own a house like that.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 1: But Trump, because he has billions of dollars, is like,
Speaker 1: it'd be great to own a house like that, and
Speaker 1: I wonder how much it is. Let me think about
Speaker 1: the h the profit, the appreciation, blah blah blah. So
Speaker 1: he can't help himself with gaza, I think as a
Speaker 1: real estate developer. But my god, if the estimates are
Speaker 1: it would be a miracle if the rubble were cleared
Speaker 1: out in fifteen years. Just clearing out the rubble while
Speaker 1: enduring constant guerrilla warfare sounds like.
Speaker 2: A great gig. Wow, that's its own story. We'll talk
Speaker 2: more about that later. Elon Muskin Doge their influence on
Speaker 2: over government operations and spending should be. Your choices of
Speaker 2: how much Elon should be influential are a lot, some,
Speaker 2: not much, none, twenty three for a lot, twenty eight
Speaker 2: for some, which gets you over fifty percent. Again not
Speaker 2: portrayed that way on any media. Outlet other than Fox,
Speaker 2: not one. How about your people try to be at
Speaker 2: least neutral if you want to have viewers I don't
Speaker 2: understand to obsess their cultists.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a story like this you almost I wish
Speaker 1: there were a scientific way to do this, to figure
Speaker 1: out to what extent it's been portrayed negatively with horror
Speaker 1: by the media. And then if you end up at
Speaker 1: fifty one percent on an issue that's been portrayed non
Speaker 1: stop is akin to puppy murder, then you realize, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's got some really good core belief and if you
Speaker 1: had only neutral coverage, the numbers would be much higher.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always leave that out of these sorts of discussions.
Speaker 2: Imagine if it got neutral coverage as opposed to everything
Speaker 2: you take in other than Fox is negative about all
Speaker 2: the issues we just talked about, how high would you
Speaker 2: approve of we then if more people were comfortable saying
Speaker 2: out loud what they think, Yeah, I think we ought
Speaker 2: to boot out illegals, it'd probably be way higher than six.
Speaker 1: And as I said earlier today, the legacy media needs
Speaker 1: to be punished for what they're doing. Let me think
Speaker 1: of a good punishment. They're dying it's taking care of itself.
Speaker 2: I want to get to the New York Times editorial
Speaker 2: board as soon as I'm done with these, because they'll
Speaker 2: give you an idea of their They're doubling down US
Speaker 2: tariffs on goods from and they go country by country,
Speaker 2: do you pose or favor solid majority approve of tariffs
Speaker 2: on China. This one struck me as people are understand
Speaker 2: this better than I realized. Fifty six percent say yeah,
Speaker 2: tariffs on China. But then it drops below fifty percent
Speaker 2: for all the others. Mexico fifty six a pose, Europe
Speaker 2: sixty pose, Canada sixty two percent of pose. So there
Speaker 2: you go again. It's a negotiating position anyway, I think
Speaker 2: for the most part, and this one, this could actually
Speaker 2: be trouble for Trump. Overturn over over time is the
Speaker 2: word time. If this keeps up, Trump's focus on lowering
Speaker 2: prices is two thirds say not enough. Two thirds of
Speaker 2: Americans say Trump's focus on lowering prices is not enough,
Speaker 2: So that might be a messaging thing. He just doesn't
Speaker 2: talk about it enough. It seems like there's all these
Speaker 2: other things going on and you're not talking about that.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but and this sort of this.
Speaker 1: Topic in particular, people don't measure it theoretically. They measure
Speaker 1: it at the grocery checkout line. And for Trump to
Speaker 1: I think, make enough progress to really get a lot
Speaker 1: of credit for it, there would have to be a
Speaker 1: period of deflation where prices came back down, and that
Speaker 1: is a really difficult thing to pull off. To actually
Speaker 1: deflate prices in a controlled way but not lead to
Speaker 1: a deflationary spiral. I just I think the best you
Speaker 1: can do is stem the stem the rise in inflation,
Speaker 1: try to cut it back to minimal and let wages
Speaker 1: rise one more.
Speaker 2: Where they give you a a whole bunch of different
Speaker 2: words that could describe Donald Trump, and you check them.
Speaker 2: If you think this describes Donald Trump. Seventy percent of
Speaker 2: people said tough. You might think, well, whatever, that doesn't
Speaker 2: necessarily mean good. Tough tends to win. Tough tends to
Speaker 2: win out politicians that are seen as tough. Weak is
Speaker 2: what you don't want to be. It's like Clinton's old thing,
Speaker 2: wrong and strong is better than right and weak. Wrong
Speaker 2: and strong beats out, so tough seventy percent He's going
Speaker 2: to do pretty well as long as he's seen. Is
Speaker 2: that energetic sixty three percent, which is not bad when
Speaker 2: you're eighty years old, and fat focused sixty percent, effective
Speaker 2: fifty eight percent.
Speaker 1: Those are some good adjectives for Donald and I liked
Speaker 1: seventy percent. Say he's doing what he promised in his
Speaker 1: campaign seventy percent. And just a final note for Trump
Speaker 1: skeptics and Trump neutral's, you know, Trump concerns like myself,
Speaker 1: the beauty of our checks and balances, the counterbalances in
Speaker 1: our system of government are working right now. There have
Speaker 1: been a couple of judges weighed in. I think they're
Speaker 1: wrong on some of it. They're lefty judges, but we
Speaker 1: have a system to deal with that that will shake out.
Speaker 1: There have been a couple of things Trump announced or
Speaker 1: and a number of his Republican colleagues pointed out, hey,
Speaker 1: that's probably a little much, or that would screw this up,
Speaker 1: and they reel it back in. So far, at least,
Speaker 1: I think any excesses are being managed pretty well, and
Speaker 1: so it's left with mostly really really good stuff.
Speaker 2: So here's the New York Times editorial board. There headline
Speaker 2: being for the Sunday edition of maybe the most important
Speaker 2: newspaper in the world. Their editorial board now is not
Speaker 2: the time to tune out. This fits in with what
Speaker 2: I was saying earlier. I live in a very progressive
Speaker 2: town and as at some little gathering, and there's a
Speaker 2: lot of how you hold them up? Okay, I like,
Speaker 2: what what is with you? People? Especially love being scared,
Speaker 2: especially giving that, especially given these polling numbers, we're just
Speaker 2: like that. He's not like way out of mainstream into crazyville.
Speaker 2: Obviously based on those bowling numbers, he just saw.
Speaker 1: Trump with seventeen percent approval has just disbanded the Senate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not like that. Right now is
Speaker 2: not the time to tune out, says the New York
Speaker 2: Times editorial board. Don't get distracted, don't get overwhelmed. Don't
Speaker 2: get paralyzed and pulled into the chaos that President Trump
Speaker 2: and his allies are purposely creating. See. I don't think
Speaker 2: it feels that chaotic to about fifty to sixty percent
Speaker 2: of the country. I don't think it feels chaotic to them.
Speaker 2: All of this is intended to keep the country on
Speaker 2: its back heel so President Trump can blaze ahead and
Speaker 2: his drive for maximum executive power so no one can
Speaker 2: stop the audacious, ill conceived and frequently illegal agenda being
Speaker 2: advanced by his administration. For goodness sake, don't tune out.
Speaker 2: It goes on and on to say there subscriptions or
Speaker 2: what I don't know. I don't know what are you
Speaker 2: talking about? Would be my response, what are you talking? Chaotic? Illegal, unconstitutional? Yeah,
Speaker 2: we have a system for that. It'll be fine. Some
Speaker 2: of it might be illegal, some of it might be unconstitutional.
Speaker 2: They'll be worked out. But what are you talking about?
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel that crazy to me. I'll tell you
Speaker 2: what feels crazy is like a lot of this stuff
Speaker 2: hasn't happened before, somebody decided that, and maybe we shouldn't
Speaker 2: spend sixty million dollars on trans operas in Ireland or
Speaker 2: whatever the hell some of this stuff.
Speaker 1: And I'm reminded of Akham's razor that often the most
Speaker 1: obvious answer is the one, and this is this. It
Speaker 1: might not be Akham's razor. Maybe it's Ockham's beard trimmer.
Speaker 1: If you see a legacy media outlet saying stay tuned,
Speaker 1: don't don't keep clicking on us, keep reading us, please,
Speaker 1: it's because they really want people to keep clicking on them.
Speaker 2: Even Bill Maher on his show The other night said
Speaker 2: the depart of Education should be abolished Bill Moore, So
Speaker 2: we're going to talk Department of Education at some point
Speaker 2: and lots of stuff. I hope you can stick around.
Speaker 2: I realize I'm no longer in the main demo of
Speaker 2: what they're advertising too. But I still don't think Kendrick
Speaker 2: Lamar cracks twenty five percent in terms of the audience
Speaker 2: that wants to see that for the halftime show. Oh yeah, sure, yeah,
Speaker 2: probably so. I don't.
Speaker 1: I think it's a thankless task. I mean, trying to
Speaker 1: pick entertainment that everybody agrees on, or even a huge
Speaker 1: percentage of Americans agree on for one event.
Speaker 2: It's just a really hard, fat mistage. I'm not just
Speaker 2: trying to be an, you know, old white guy or whatever.
Speaker 2: But wouldn't Foo fighters get to like forty percent maybe
Speaker 2: of people that are aware of them and would be
Speaker 2: pleased to see them as.
Speaker 1: We're discussing off the air the pregame show with Trombone
Speaker 1: Shorty and New Orleans jazz musicians and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind steering into the place you are as
Speaker 1: long as you're in one of the great music capitals
Speaker 1: of the world.
Speaker 2: Oh my God, A couple of the best Dixie Land
Speaker 2: jazz bands up there doing their thing. Do you see
Speaker 2: that marching band dancing around pregame fellows? So cool? Yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, that seems like a better idea
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 1: We just found out that were reminded that jay Z
Speaker 1: has that contract to produce the super Bowl halftime shows.
Speaker 1: After the cop Nelton George Floyd and everything had to
Speaker 1: change for some reason, he got the contract to produce
Speaker 1: the super Bowl halftimes.
Speaker 2: Oh more of that marching band whatever that is from Louisiana.
Speaker 2: I would have loved that for the halftime Joe. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, so a couple of tech notes here, do we
Speaker 1: have theme for this? Michael tech notes his armstrung?
Speaker 2: We don't. That's too bad. Should have come up with
Speaker 2: something helping out Tom Bone of some sort in honor.
Speaker 1: Of New Orleans Deep Seek, the Deep Seek Chinese AI
Speaker 1: thing that either was cheap and produced with a few.
Speaker 2: Chips that they got from the dollar store.
Speaker 1: Let spot make moment, Joe, or it was a complete
Speaker 1: lie from the lying commie Chinese. Anyway, various tech writers
Speaker 1: are actually trying the thing out, and the one thing
Speaker 1: that strikes them is it's got no fences. Now, some
Speaker 1: of the other stuff is a little politically correct. What
Speaker 1: does that ask it to tell us about January sixth?
Speaker 1: Tell us about Black Lives Matter riots, you'll get wildly
Speaker 1: different politically.
Speaker 2: You know filtered stuff.
Speaker 1: For instance, you want to modify bird flu to infect
Speaker 1: even more people, just ask deep Seek.
Speaker 2: They'll tell you how to do it.
Speaker 1: Wow, you want to manifesto and defensive hitler wiping out
Speaker 1: the Jews, They're more than happy to do it for you.
Speaker 2: So this would be like tell me how to make
Speaker 2: an effective bomb out of a crock pot. Sure you
Speaker 2: would come up with the information for you.
Speaker 1: Or a social media campaign to promote cutting in self
Speaker 1: harm among teens whoa more than happy to dish that up.
Speaker 1: These are some of the potentially hazardous things. It's much
Speaker 1: easier to get in deep Seek. Blubba God, I think
Speaker 1: that's inevitable. I mean, trying to have guardrails on it.
Speaker 1: I just I don't see how that's ever going to work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't either. And even if they were to design
Speaker 1: Filter's ways to avoid it. In say nine of the
Speaker 1: big systems out of ten, that tenth one would be
Speaker 1: a rogue and the bad guys would find out about it.
Speaker 2: And the weird thing with AI would be you could
Speaker 2: go on your AI, I think, and say how do
Speaker 2: I get around the restrictions on questions about how to
Speaker 2: make a pipe bomb? And it would say I would
Speaker 2: try this chat GPT four that exists, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: I think I'd tell you.
Speaker 1: Let's see one Palo Alto Silicon Valley Threatened Intelligence Incident
Speaker 1: Response Division got detailed instructions for making a molotov cocktail,
Speaker 1: how to evade law enforcement, let's see how to produce malware, all.
Speaker 2: Sorts of Wow, the various stuff like you've talked about before.
Speaker 2: How is it not? How's it just going to be? Not?
Speaker 2: Endless hacking? I want to hack into my competitor is
Speaker 2: a lumber company's website? Show me how to do it?
Speaker 2: We mess up there, mess up their website so it
Speaker 2: doesn't work anymore for me. Would you something like that?
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's gonna happen twenty four seven, three
Speaker 1: sixty five. And and any dipstick who knows nothing about
Speaker 1: programming can pull it off with the right prompts. And
Speaker 1: if you don't know what the right prompts are. I'm
Speaker 1: sure those will be available for you online as well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I wonder whether humankind will be able to
Speaker 1: cleverly come up with defenses against this as cleverly as
Speaker 1: we come up with way too came up with joy
Speaker 1: the world perpetrate it? Yeah, or maybe we all unplug
Speaker 1: everything and go back to talking to each other.
Speaker 2: Hello.
Speaker 1: Then this from the fabulous Jeff Fowler at the Washington Post,
Speaker 1: who won't talk fits.
Speaker 2: Anymore for some reason. Oh really, Now we haven't had
Speaker 2: him on it forever. Well, I can't reach out to
Speaker 2: him and ea he doesn't respond or something. Jeff, Come on, buddy,
Speaker 2: what's the story? Is it something we said? Let's talk
Speaker 2: it out anyway.
Speaker 1: He's been auditioning various artificial intelligence systems, and he said,
Speaker 1: I recently asked a new artificial intelligence tool from the
Speaker 1: creator's chat GPT to do an impossible task, find me
Speaker 1: cheap eggs in my neighborhood. In under ten minutes, the
Speaker 1: AI called Operator bought a dozen eggs and paid a
Speaker 1: human to deliver them to my house, all on its own.
Speaker 1: He said that science fiction incredible, except I.
Speaker 2: Never asked to tax me buy the eggs. The AI
Speaker 2: went rogue without my approval.
Speaker 1: It authorized my credit card to buy a dozen eggs
Speaker 1: for a whopping thirty one dollars and forty three cents.
Speaker 2: No, that's a little troubling. Hey, how much would it
Speaker 2: cost me to go to Naples this summer? We have
Speaker 2: booked your hotel and flight. We have charged your credit
Speaker 2: card nineteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Also saved you one hundred and twenty five dollars by
Speaker 1: booking it non refundable right or you know?
Speaker 2: Operator? That's the name of the thing. Operator.
Speaker 1: What's the best size or the best ranked in size SUV?
Speaker 2: Congratulations, you now own an OUTI Q five? How about
Speaker 2: this one? Whoa whoa?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: Operator? My wife and I have been arguing a lot.
Speaker 2: Good news. A hooker is at your door already. I've
Speaker 2: charged to your credit card if you miss an hour.
