WEBVTT - Shower Poofs! 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:06.280 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:11.440 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong and Jetty 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:17.920 and he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.360 You're just discussing how we are hardcore today. We are 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.640 hardcore talk radio today. Get the illegals out of here. 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.320 No boys and girls restaurants and no fat generals and 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:34.080 what else. 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:39.159 We're no women in combat exactly. We are done with that. 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.040 That's right, amen, Pete Boy, you tell them, huh, maybe 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.879 I've had too much coffee. It's possible. That's all right. 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:50.280 It's been fun. So oh, that's right. I had an introduction. Really, 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:51.479 let me get that. I should have written it. 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.920 Voldemort couldn't get little Hermione Granger, but she just took 0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.080 a one two punch that dropped her to the canvas. 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.360 For none other than JK. Rowling. 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.520 It's a special celebrity packed gender bending madness updates. 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:15.280 So I kept hearing about this thing called by the loco. 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.840 We're a Brave New worldl. 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:26.319 Now, before we get to the Harry Potter madness, first, 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.840 a story that's pretty serious. 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:30.200 It's from Massachusetts. 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:35.840 Here is a couple that has been fostering children for 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.319 several years now. They've taken seven children into their home 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.399 in Massachusetts for short and longer term placements. They are 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.160 the sort of people you dream of as a society 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:51.560 being foster parents. But now the state of Massachusetts, like 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.800 several others, is forcing them to either sign an agreement 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:59.080 that they will and I quote support, respect and affirm 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:03.960 the foster child well sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:09.440 This lgbt q I A plus non discrimination policy requires 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.240 them to go along with that or they can no 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:18.120 longer foster children. And this couple are devout Christians, say, essentially, 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:24.639 I'm paraphrasing them, say, yeah, that particular brand of adolescent 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.600 confusion and struggle with mental illness. I need to sign 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.840 a form that says I have to affirm that and 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.840 encourage it not doing it. 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.480 Yeah, you don't have to be Christian to come to that. 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.840 That's just a common sense approach. That is about as 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.040 awful a thing as I'm going to hear today, because, 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.880 like you said, the kind of couple that decides that's 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.280 what they're going to do with their lives. Wow, they 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.560 you know, they could be saints. Yeah, oh yeah, taking 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.320 that on that is absolutely amazing for the state to 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:59.480 then jump in with their ideological craziness. 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.400 For a couple of people like that. Oh I know. 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.040 And these these Skurns, like so many foster parents, are 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:11.840 absolutely dedicated to loving and helping and raising the child 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:17.120 until perhaps the family can be reunited. They are among 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:21.080 the best people. Again, they're being forced to co sign 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:22.760 a particular mental. 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.880 Illness, which is that's what it is. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.520 Anyway, moving along, they're fighting back, by the way, They've 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.200 got some great legal defense and they, like several other 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.520 couples around the country, are fighting back. And good for them, 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.000 and I hope they do well. And if you need 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:40.840 a few bucks, let me know. So here's the JK. 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:41.560 Rowling thing. 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.840 And I became aware of this I came across a 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.120 column in the New York Post. 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.920 She is the author of all the Harry Potter books. 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:53.440 Yeah, I thought everybody knows that, but it doesn't cost 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.600 anything to point it out. Indeed, and she is actual 0:03:55.680 --> 0:04:01.400 gazillionaire and an absolutely brilliant and decent persons. So this 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:05.320 is written by Brenda O'Neil in the Post, and it 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.080 points out that JK. Rowling has and this is an 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.880 overused phrase, but in this case, it's appropriate broken her 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.240 silence on Emma Watson, the actress who played. 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:15.560 Little Hermione Granger. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.120 He said, it is one of the truest and most 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.800 cutting takedowns of blissful ignorance of mondied moral posers I 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.720 have ever read. Watson is the actress who gained fame 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.520 and riches from playing Hermione in the Harry Potter films 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.560 of late she has become a one woman foghorn of 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:36.080 luxuriant moralism that passes for virtue in celebrity circles. She 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.080 fell in with a Black Lives Matter contagion, ostentatiously confessing 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.640 that she had benefited from white supremacy, and she thinks 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.000 Israel is committing genocide and Gaza blah blah bah. She's 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:51.440 again a one woman foghorn of luxuriant moralism. So I 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.919 had to go to the source material, obviously, because he 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:58.640 describes what JK wrote, and I found it. She posted 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:03.560 it to Twitter, and you know, I'll go ahead and 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.680 do the read her caveats because it helps to show 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.880 you what kind of person she is. She said, I'm 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.360 seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:15.360 want to make a couple of points. 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:16.279 This is JK. Rowling. 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.280 I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.520 played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.040 to me as me checking with the boss I had 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.159 when I was twenty one for what opinions I should 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.120 hold these days. Emma Watson and her co stars have 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.960 every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.440 legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.120 them threatened with loss of work or violence or death 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:45.760 because of them. Worth noting, Jakay has had tons of horrific, 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.239 vile threats and slanders against her in recent days. 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.680 And she's lucky she can afford the private security that 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:53.599 I'm sure she needs. 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:59.640 Right However, Emma and Dan Daniel Radcliffe Harry Potter in particular, 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.839 both made it clear over the last few years that 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.760 they think our former professional association gives them a particular rite, 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.479 nay obligation to critique me in my views in public. 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.640 Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.640 assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.440 I created. When you've known people since they were ten 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.240 years old, it's hard not it's hard to shake a 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:27.160 certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.360 off the memory of children who needed to be gently 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.839 coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.000 For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.520 journalists to comment on Emma, specifically, most notably on The 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:44.599 Witch Trials of JK Rowling, a fantastic documentary. Ironically, I 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.680 told the producers that I did not want her to 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.800 be hounded as the result of anything I said, so 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:55.040 she just hasn't commented on those people. The television presenter 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.000 in the attached clip, which you know I should ask for, 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:02.040 the audio highlights Emma's all Witches speech, and in truth 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.320 that was a turning point for me, as Emma has 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:09.080 unloaded on JK publicly, but it had a PostScript that 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.080 hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.040 to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:18.120 which contained the single sentence quote, I'm so sorry for 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.040 what you're going through. She has my phone number. By 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.600 the way, This was back when the death, rape, and 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.120 torture threats against me were at their peak, at a 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.200 time when my personal security measures had to be tightened considerably, 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.480 and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.880 had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.840 thought a one line expression of concern from her would 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.480 reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness. 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.400 Like other people who've. 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.280 Never experienced adult life on cushioned by wealth and fame, 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.440 Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.680 of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.480 She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.840 public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.560 a high street changing room since childhood. Her public bathroom 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.280 is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.160 guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.120 in a newly mixed sex changing room at a council 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.040 run swimming pool that's a government swimming pool. Is she 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.480 ever likely to need a state run rape crisis center 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.120 that refuses to guarantee an all female service to find 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.960 herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.559 identified into the women's prison. I wasn't made a multi 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.400 millionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.280 book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.360 own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:40.400 which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.679 girls without their privileges. The greatest irony here is that, 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.320 had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.240 declare that she loves and treasures me a change of tack. 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.679 I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full throated condemnation 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.280 of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was. 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.360 I might never have been this honest one more little bit. 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.320 Adults can't expect a cozy up to an activist movement 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:06.040 that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.520 right to the former friend's love as though the friend 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.080 was in fact their mother. Emma is right to freely 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.520 disagree with me, and indeed to discuss her feelings about 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.400 me in public. But I have the same right, and 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.319 I've finally decided to exercise it. 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.800 It's interesting she decided to stick her neck out like this. 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.480 JK. Rowlings. Good for her, I mean, she had pretty 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:26.760 pretty cushy life going. 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.360 Yeah, but you know she had the opposite of a 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.360 cushy life for like all of her formative years and 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.320 a good chunk of her adulthood, And like any decent 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:43.160 moral person who understands the difference between the protected class 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:49.920 and the unprotected class, the rich and siloed and protected 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:54.600 the luxury beliefs people talk about, Emma Watson can spout 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.840 whatever belief she wants about gender benning madness because she's 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.800 never going to be confronted with a six foot four 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.480 inch fully intact mail in her locker room like the 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.520 poor girls who swam it pen for instance. It's a 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.280 luxury belief for her, and JK has finally called her 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:09.720 on it. 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:10.440 Well, and JK. 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:14.640 Rowlings is also absolutely right about the tide has turned 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.920 in the days of Clearly JK. Rowlings is the bad 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.160 person and anybody who speaks out against her as a hero. 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.040 That's over. Is over in Europe before it became over here. 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:30.760 Right, and it's back to the whole preference distortion or 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:35.240 preference falsification, preference cascade. The eighty five percent of us 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.400 who think the gender bending madness is actually madness, it's 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.199 mental illness. You don't change your sex by declaring, Now 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.400 I'm a girl. That's as idiotic and crazy as it 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:49.360 seems as it sounds now that everybody is saying, Yeah, 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.480 that struck me as lunacy from the moment I heard it. Yeah, 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:57.720 it's not quite so fashionable to kick JK. Rowling anymore anyway. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:58.439 Good for her. 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.280 It's a gender bending madness up date Harry Potter Edition 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:05.240 sing sow zoom? 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:09.960 Do not have a isn't there an ending?

There it is. That's 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:24.760 the China cabinet. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.840 Yeah, wait a minute, that was the you're right, Jack, 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.079 I'm back to being mean to Michael.

I don't understand what's happening here. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.920 That was the ending of the China Cabinet. He's still 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.840 looking for it. It is for both of them. 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:46.760 Yeah no, no, it's it's as his face, the fake girl, right, 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.559 that guy. 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.440 So on so well till you ruined it? Oh me? 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:57.199 And again I am so no I'm sorry, Michael. 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.480 On Harold Potter. For whatever reason, we never got to 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:03.480 the end in my household. And uh, I always assumed 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.000 that Harry and Hermione were going to end up together, 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:07.120 but that's not what happened. 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:07.880 No no, no, no no. 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:14.760 Spoiler alert. Uh uh yes, yeah, and Harry ends up 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.480 with Ron's sister, who's Acutie. 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:20.000 Oh okay, yeah, Jenny, yeah. Uh. 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.160 Anyway, Yeah, I'd encourage you to watch Slash read the 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.360 end because part of the genius of JK. Rowling and 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.120 the Harry Potter series, and you know, I lived through 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:31.840 this with my kids and I enjoyed the books and 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:37.400 movies myself, was that as the characters aged, the themes 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:44.160 became more mature and complex and and the symbolism more important. 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.920 And by the end of it, they were on the 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.920 cusp of adulthood, dealing with very adult things and themes. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:56.839 Yeah, I think it for kids my kid's age. 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.600 If your kids were the books and then the movies 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:02.760 came out long after the books, well not long, but 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.319 years after the books, and everybody's really looking forward to them. 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:07.680 You know, my kids the movies were there right. 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.040 Away and they saw them and it just kind of 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:11.680 took the magic out of the books. 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.679 I think I could see that, Yeah, which is unfortunate. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:16.760 I should have. 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:22.560 Hid the movies from them. You know, here's why you 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.720 read books. A lot of reasons, those books in particular. 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.680 But there are many, many, many examples of this. 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:34.120 If you were to actually bring all of one of 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.800 those books to film, it would be seventeen hours long, 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:43.079 probably the movies, but the book is consistently compelling and 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.840 engaging all of those hours. 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:47.440 They are good and just such. 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.839 You know, letting your imagination run wild with all that 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.920 stuff is so fantastic as opposed to you haven't been 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.480 to the Harry Potter thing at Universal. 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.800 I'm sure because you're an adult. It's pretty impressive. Oh, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.000 I'd like to I'd like to go. It is pretty impressive. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:06.120 Okay, we got a lot more in the waist here. 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.480 So apparently this has become a mockable meme. 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.280 This is Senator Ted Cruz of Texas said this by mistake. 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.840 Senator Booker also said we should have bipartisan agreement. I 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.600 think that's a great idea. We should have bipartisan agreement. 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.680 How about we all come together and say, let's stop murders. 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.000 How about we all come together and say let's stop rape. 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:30.080 How about we. 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.400 All come together and say let's stop attacking pedophiles. 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.560 I doubt that he meant that last one. I don't 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:43.720 know what he meant, but so anyway, let's stop attacking pedophiles. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.800 It's no, and then we killed Social Secure. 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.600 Two things for you here. First of all, you weren't here. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.600 You were You had abandoned the show during its time 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.960 of need. And I believe we're playing golf. And over 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.640 a two day period, I talked to friend of the show, 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.240 Tim Sanderfer and Craig Gotwalls and I had a discussion 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.520 about AI with both of them and just asked them 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:13.720 their opinion on is AI going to wipe out jobs 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.840 and we're going to have to come up with some 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.000 sort of guaranteed basic income or something like that there's 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.680 be nothing to do, or do you think, like technologies 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.560 of the past, it will create more and different jobs. 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.560 I lean toward the former rather the latter on AI, 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.680 even though history shows it to be the other way. 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.880 Both Tim and Craig were big believers that no, it's 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.080 just going to be like every other technological advancement that 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.360 ever came along. It's going to create a whole bunch 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.680 of new different jobs that you can't even imagine yet, 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:41.840 and we'll be just fine. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:42.680 I hope they're right. 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.160 I don't know if I believe that, but maybe we 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:49.080 have the first inkling of that. Just read a long 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:54.600 substack piece about the world of radiology in at least 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.360 at the beginning, it looks like there's more demand for 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:02.720 radiologists than there's ever ben with AI's ability to read 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:04.760 all this stuff super duper fast, and then they need 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.520 more radiologists. Most of a radiologist's job is dealing with 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:10.600 the patients and then the stuff that comes after you 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.200 read the chart. Reading the chart is a tiny percentage 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.480 of the job, and now that gets done really fast 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.520 by AI, and you need radiologists to do all the 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:22.680 other part of being a radiologist. So, and this was 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.920 one of the main examples people were holding up. In fact, 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.040 one of your AI geniuses, one of the grandfathers of AI, 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.640 said a year or two ago, if I was in 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.760 radiology school, I would drop out and learn to do 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.920 something else because that job is going away. And it 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.720 seems that that is not happening at all. So maybe 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.200 this is the first test case of that whole premise. 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:42.520 Yeah, I'm surprised by that. 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.800 I don't know what a radiologist would do after the 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.400 chart has been read, but maybe I'll read that. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.760 I didn't read the nineteen million word essay on it, 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.640 which is the problem with anything substack, because there are 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.040 no editors or limits on paper. 0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:59.440 That everything is just way too long. 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.720 Everything has infinite space for your ideas. So let's get started. 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.760 No, sure, every article is the length of a book. 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:08.960 We did come up with some new pete Hegseat stuff 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:10.399 that you haven't heard yet. I want to play that 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:11.440 for you, among other things. 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.199 This thanks time Armstrong and Geeddy. 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:19.080 This Wendy's is adding chicken tenders to their menu and 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:25.040 they're calling them Wendy's Tend's. So far they haven't sold 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.240 any because nobody wants to say Wendy's tenders. 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.080 I would agree, I am not saying that as an 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:36.480 adult male. I'd like a six pack of Wendy's ten d's. 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.040 And I need to remember to change my und one piece. 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.240 This first round of the playoffs in baseball, they're three 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.119 game series, so all the teams that won last night 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:49.119 they could end it tonight. 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.360 It's all yeah, it goes fast. I love it. Yep. 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:53.639 I gotta watch some baseball tonight. 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:59.320 So executive producer Hanson, who is constantly seeking gundermine me, 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:04.360 has undermined me by sending an important and timely. 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:04.840 Piece of news. 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.560 I was already to talk, you know, briefly about the 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:13.880 Israel Hamas situation, which excuse me. You know, I had 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.160 that upper respiratory thing. What was that six weeks ago? 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.400 That stupid nagging cough is just hanging out. 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:23.040 Did you get the whooping cough? No? 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.080 No, there's no whooping. Okay, I don't think what was 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:30.680 that sick? It's just annoying anyway, Ah, have a cough. 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:33.800 That's what happens when you get the whooping cough. No, 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:35.520 that's inaccurate. 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.879 So what we were going to talk about was the 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.320 fact that Hamas has indicated is opening to it's open 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:47.040 to accepting Trump's peace plan. Read some really great analysis, 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.640 Oh but Hamas has some concerns about some of the terms, 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:55.400 And then read some great analysis about how the problem 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:59.000 is the lack of time tables and how Hamas will 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:04.480 string the long cheat as much as possible and really 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.480 seek to reconstitute its forces and make it As if 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:12.280 there was no agreement. The cold realistic, optimistic view is 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:18.480 the countermeasures to that, including the involvement of the Arab 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:23.000 countries in the region and the reorganization of Gaza and 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:28.480 the new prosperity and everything. It'll render the ground unfertile 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.600 for Homasthas that you know, the sync roots never grow again. 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:36.760 That's the optimistic, coldly realistic. You know, here'd be my 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:38.840 tip to if you're in Hamas. If you don't accept 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:40.960 this deal, Israel is going to kill every last one 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:41.080 of you. 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:43.639 Now that's a term. 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.480 And then finally I mentioned this earlier in the show, 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:52.119 great piece by Emit Siegel, who is a commentator in Israel, 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.720 pointing out that the reason all the Arab countries came 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.040 around was that Israel had said, all right, we're gonna 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:03.080 get these guys, even if they're in your living room friends, 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:09.919 including Cutter, and that that Net and Yahoo apology was 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:15.800 a measure so the Kataris could save face because they, 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:20.520 like the Iranians and several other countries around the Middle East, 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:24.159 had realized, Okay, Israel's going to come after the people 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:28.919 were harboring in our giant cush oil rich cities and 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:29.639 we don't want that. 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.159 So hey, Hummas agreed to peace. We're through with you. 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.520 That's really interesting. So it worked, you know. So it 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.360 wasn't in spite of the attack. It was because of it. 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:41.040 They got all the condemnation from the world and the 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:46.280 President Trump allegedly screamed at Netanyahu on the phone afterwards, 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:46.720 what'd you do? 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:47.399 Why'd you do? 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:47.639 That? 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.360 Seems to have been a key to making this whole 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:52.439 piece plan come together. 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.520 Well, it wouldn't be a shock if Benjamin Netanyahu knows 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:58.520 how to deal with these Middle Eastern types a little 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:01.639 better than Trump does at this point. But anyway, so 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:05.880 it was because the Qataris are afraid that they've come 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:07.879 to the table in a serious way. Now here's the 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:12.440 timely and important undermining that Hanson has attempted to inflict 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:16.000 upon me. This is the headline from the Times of Israel. 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:20.560 A senior Hamas official tells the BBC that the Terror 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.440 group will likely reject Trump's plan to end the war 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.000 in Gaza, telling the British network that it serves Israel's 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:29.560 interests and ignores those of the Palestinian people. 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:30.679 That is a quote. 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.159 The official added that Hamas opposes several key provisions of 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:40.560 the plan. Those include the call for the group to 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.360 disarm the entry is so called international stabilization forces, and 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:47.680 the requirement that it released all forty eight hostages it's 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:52.040 holding within seventy two hours after the agreement is adopted. Again, 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:55.080 they have mentioned that some of these hostages are held 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.280 by groups that were loosely affiliated with and we don't 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:00.320 know where they are and where the hostages are, so 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:01.439 you can't hold us to that. 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:04.760 Sure, What do you think happens now? 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:09.680 This recent Saudi report also indicated Hamas's skepticism towards the plan. 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:12.160 Well, I'd like to know what their plan is. What's 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:12.520 your plan? 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:16.560 Hamas, Israel's going in and Trump said, do what you 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:17.879 gotta do, you have our backing. 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:19.080 What's your plan? 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:23.720
