Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: dedicating Cake Arms Wrong get live from the studio, c
Speaker 1: Says and a Gimli lit room bet with them the
Speaker 1: bowels of the arm Strong in Getty Communications Compound on
Speaker 1: Little Friday. It is Thursday, and today we're under the
Speaker 1: tutelage of our general manager. Which one would you prefer?
Speaker 1: Militant college students or how about eighty years ago today
Speaker 1: we saved the world by defeating Nazi Germany. What is this?
Speaker 1: The olden days? That is a good one. It's excellent,
Speaker 1: and you reminded me I have a freedom loving quote
Speaker 1: of the day on that very topic. It's indeed it's
Speaker 1: v e day, as they say, right, which was the
Speaker 1: bulk of the whole World War two thing for you know,
Speaker 1: a long time. So not to discount these fighting in
Speaker 1: the Pacific, certainly.
Speaker 2: So eighty years ago to day on that that's exciting.
Speaker 2: And then what were your other two options for a
Speaker 2: general manager? You've got Kanye's Kanye's new album with about Hitler.
Speaker 2: That's kind of a good timing. His he puts the
Speaker 2: hit back in Hitler. It's the new smash hit.
Speaker 1: Everybody's dancing too across the nation.
Speaker 2: Puts the hit back in Hitler. That's pretty funny. Oh
Speaker 2: and then terribly distasteful. And then the freaking I was
Speaker 2: watching this. I got into this yesterday afternoon and couldn't
Speaker 2: stop watching videos of the college kids or Marxists from
Speaker 2: other campuses, or who knows they're going to end up
Speaker 2: being that took over the library there at Columbia. Just
Speaker 2: ridiculous that this is going on, Absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Arrest everyone, kick every single one of those kids out
Speaker 1: of school, and it will end. It will go away.
Speaker 1: You won't have this problem anymore. It's easy to solve.
Speaker 1: It is so familiar, isn't it, This pattern. I remember
Speaker 1: it so distinctly when Antifa was ing terrorizing Portland night
Speaker 1: after night, week after week, month after month, and we said,
Speaker 1: don't you dare, Michael, don't you dare? He wants to
Speaker 1: play the night after Night clip. No, No, all right,
Speaker 1: but so, and I remember saying at the time to
Speaker 1: Ted Wheeler, the mayor, Ted, you cannot passive your way
Speaker 1: out of this. It will not end. They will keep
Speaker 1: pushing and pushing and pushing, and that was absolutely correct,
Speaker 1: and it finally had to be stamped down. You you
Speaker 1: get your bull horns, she cops. You say, you have
Speaker 1: sixty seconds to assemble at the exits and begin an
Speaker 1: orderly exit, or else you will be charged with criminal trespass.
Speaker 1: Any students found in violation to criminal trespass laws will
Speaker 1: be evicted from this college by order of the president
Speaker 1: of the university. And then you just line them up
Speaker 1: and you cuff them, and you check IDs, and you
Speaker 1: enforce that law. It will be over in the blink
Speaker 1: of an eye.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, absolutely, I'm the eighty some arrests, So they'd
Speaker 2: arrest quite a few people, But how many students are
Speaker 2: they going to kick out? Are they going to finally
Speaker 2: start kicking students out of freaking school?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Arrests are nothing.
Speaker 2: Arrests are promises which are cheap and charges and are
Speaker 2: something if vic or what do you call it, expulsions,
Speaker 2: that's something, right because it's obviously a badge of honor
Speaker 2: for a lot of those kids to get arrested and
Speaker 2: hauled off by demand. I mean they're chanting worldwide into
Speaker 2: fada and tearing up the library, defacing it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, consequence, that's right, ma'am. The timings everything, Michael.
Speaker 2: The consequence free arrest is the catnip. It's the porn
Speaker 2: for the self important, deluded little children. That's like the
Speaker 2: one thing they want more than anything else. Good lord,
Speaker 2: how do people not see that? And coincidentally, just like
Speaker 2: an hour earlier, there had been another one of those
Speaker 2: hearings in Congress where they're questioning various presidents at colleges
Speaker 2: about their anti Semitism and how they're dealing with their
Speaker 2: marksist students and whatnot, And some of the answers weren't
Speaker 2: similar to.
Speaker 1: The past, kind of wishy washi. We have strict policies,
Speaker 1: but have you ever punished anybody? Well, we have strict policies.
Speaker 1: Have you ever punished anybody? So the problem is the
Speaker 1: university agrees with them. That's the problem with all of
Speaker 1: these universities. The college president agrees with the students.
Speaker 2: If they had their way, they'd be thirty years younger
Speaker 2: and in the library spray painting a worldwide Indefada on
Speaker 2: the wall.
Speaker 1: Right right. You know, it strikes me that I think
Speaker 1: we may be talking about the symptom and not the disease.
Speaker 1: I came across an absolutely terrific analysis of college kids
Speaker 1: at some of the universities and how they all cheat
Speaker 1: with AI constantly, even on things like the assignment was
Speaker 1: tell me a little bit about yourself and what you
Speaker 1: hope to get out of this class. They use AI
Speaker 1: to cheat on that, and the reason is they think
Speaker 1: their classes are a joke. The school is a joke.
Speaker 1: It's a place to make connections. It's a place to
Speaker 1: meet checks or guys, to find the co founder of
Speaker 1: your company, to get the degree and go make those
Speaker 1: connections in more a real business world.
Speaker 2: Or we've eliminated the idea of even thinking about what
Speaker 2: you're going to do later.
Speaker 1: You just you're there for. Well, yeah, be in a
Speaker 1: pain in the asks. Well, the one thing you're not
Speaker 1: there for is an education, right exactly, which is just
Speaker 1: it really ought to make you stop and think, I
Speaker 1: don't how far can any human enterprise get off track
Speaker 1: this far?
Speaker 2: Apparently you know it's weird because on one hand, I
Speaker 2: don't care about the elite universities. Neither one of my
Speaker 2: kids are gonna go to them. Every time they embarrass
Speaker 2: themselves like this, I'm happy to hear it. I want
Speaker 2: them to be torn down more. I want people to
Speaker 2: have less respect for those places. So it's a positive
Speaker 2: every time I hear this stuff out of Harvard or
Speaker 2: Columbia or Princeton or wherever. But on the other hand,
Speaker 2: we can't let Marxist frum the world. No, and I
Speaker 2: don't think we will. I agree with you completely.
Speaker 1: I was struck in watching those videos that this is fabulous.
Speaker 1: This is going to force the university's hands. They have
Speaker 1: created their own little self righteous monsters. And again, the
Speaker 1: kids did not raise themselves. You've got to keep that
Speaker 1: in mind, even as I curse them. Yeah, they have
Speaker 1: been indoctrinated since they were very little kids at the
Speaker 1: government schools under our noses, folks, and you know, shame
Speaker 1: on us. But they have created their own little monsters,
Speaker 1: and now they are reaping the rewards of having done so.
Speaker 1: And the more monstrous the little monsters become, the closer
Speaker 1: I think we are to sanity and a solution. I mean,
Speaker 1: Lord knows, these little dip SS's aren't going to win
Speaker 1: the day and change the country, although we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to reckon with a couple generations of them filtering through
Speaker 1: the system. Some of them slowly coming to their senses
Speaker 1: and breaking through their doctrination to sense what reality actually
Speaker 1: looks and smells like some of them never will. They
Speaker 1: will be your Bill Ayre's nut job radicals until they're
Speaker 1: finally in the grave. But what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: I would think at some point, parents who are paying
Speaker 2: ridiculous amounts of money to send their kids there would
Speaker 2: be like, Hey, one, I need my kid to be
Speaker 2: able to go to the library and study for.
Speaker 1: Finals, because that's what was going on yesterday.
Speaker 2: And two this degree now comes along with a lot
Speaker 2: of scrutiny of I don't want to hire this kid
Speaker 2: unless they can prove they're not a Marxist. So I
Speaker 2: would think enough parent at some point, But that'll take
Speaker 2: a while, that'll be a slow result, that'd be a
Speaker 2: lagging indicator.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it hurts us that we're not Northeasterners,
Speaker 1: that we don't feel culturally that reverence for the IVS
Speaker 1: and that desperation to get your kids into them, because
Speaker 1: that way their ticket is punched. And so to a
Speaker 1: lot of parents, the idea of them actually getting an education,
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, is it's a kind of beside
Speaker 1: the point we're still living in a world without a pope.
Speaker 1: Ain't easy? Pless, hopeless. I got a comment, hopeless after
Speaker 1: all these years, I got a comment on it.
Speaker 2: But first we better start the show officially before we
Speaker 2: get in trouble with the Trump administration. I'm Jack Armstrong,
Speaker 2: He's Joe Getty, and I mean they send us orders
Speaker 2: as a lot of you text on a regular basis,
Speaker 2: and also what we can talk about, what views to take.
Speaker 2: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Jogetty on this. It is Thursday,
Speaker 2: May eighth, v E day, the year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: Or I'm strong in getting we approve of this program.
Speaker 2: Send the white smoke up the chimney, Michael. We have
Speaker 2: a show, and it begins precisely according to FCC rules
Speaker 2: or eggs at mark.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I'm trying to study for my bi POC
Speaker 1: Gender Queer Studies Final. I'm having trouble concentrating.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to study for my BIPOCK Queer Studies Genders
Speaker 2: Final gen.
Speaker 1: Well you almost got it. Well, I'm sure it doesn't
Speaker 1: make uch gos. You haven't been studying. Clearly, the drums
Speaker 1: are one thing. The tearing down the shelves and spray
Speaker 1: painting the walls with the Intifada starts here and that
Speaker 1: sort of thing cannot be tolerated. Unbelievable, night Stick.
Speaker 2: But so quickly before we take a break, so there's
Speaker 2: plenty of time for Katie's headlines.
Speaker 1: One of the gotta go Buddy Rich on him. Jack.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to be brutal, but it's Night's stick time,
Speaker 2: Buddy Rich. One of the famous drummers from like the
Speaker 2: forties and fifties, John Bonham, Neil Pierre.
Speaker 1: You pick your favorite Phil Collins, Phil Collins.
Speaker 2: Doom Poom poo doom, get their class. Hey, you do
Speaker 2: the famous Phil Collins riff on everybody's head?
Speaker 1: Now you all right? Oh there he goes, I'm dying still.
Speaker 1: We're all dying, Jack slowly from time. What uh.
Speaker 2: One of the main parts of the job Joe and
Speaker 2: I have is trying to figure out what we think
Speaker 2: is actually interesting to you, and it requires a number
Speaker 2: of uh things, And part of it is you take in,
Speaker 2: you know, a whole bunch of media from other places,
Speaker 2: and you know, sometimes they're they got the stuff that's interesting.
Speaker 2: Sometimes they really don't. I mean, our first boss Ken
Speaker 2: was pretty good about. You know, we get to decide
Speaker 2: what's the important story. Nobody else has to decide for
Speaker 2: here here. Well, like I flipped on Fox and Friends
Speaker 2: this morning and I actually kept fast forwarding and kept
Speaker 2: time twelve full minutes before they did anything other than
Speaker 2: Pope coverage. And I just don't believe. Maybe I'm wrong,
Speaker 2: but I just don't believe y'all are that interested. I
Speaker 2: don't believe y'all are hanging on second by second updates
Speaker 2: on the Pope where you need a quarter of an
Speaker 2: hour to start your day before you get into any
Speaker 2: other news story, and there's a lot of them right. Well, well,
Speaker 2: and if you would like that, you know, that's great,
Speaker 2: go go seek it out and enjoy it and we'll
Speaker 2: meet you later.
Speaker 1: That's fine. Look, yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 2: And I can't imagine it in as serious the tones
Speaker 2: as you can imagine. Yeah, still no Pope. As you
Speaker 2: can see, people are gathered. The black smoke came up,
Speaker 2: and at this moment, we do not have a Pope.
Speaker 2: Let's go live too, like what all right? India attacked
Speaker 2: Pakistan again last night, with the strongest attack in a
Speaker 2: half a century between two nuclear powers that have been
Speaker 2: bristling forever. Trump's because Pakistan attacked them. Huh Trump' announcing
Speaker 2: a big trade deal with Great Britain. Today you got
Speaker 2: she and Moscow where they've got their big celebration going on,
Speaker 2: while Ukraine's trying to at ac Moscow and has been
Speaker 2: very successful for several days. So that could be very
Speaker 2: exciting if if that goes down in the middle of it. AnyWho,
Speaker 2: or you can talk about black smoking the Pope. I mean,
Speaker 2: how many times did I see the new story yesterday
Speaker 2: if there was a pigeon up by the smokestack? All right, okay,
Speaker 2: fantastic again tweets their own Pulpe Pigeons, which is not
Speaker 2: a bad band name.
Speaker 1: So we got Katie's headlines. You mentioned a good one
Speaker 1: pension mail bag, get a bunch of other stuff. I'm
Speaker 1: dying at tuberculosis.
Speaker 2: All happening today our text line four one five, two
Speaker 2: nine five KFTC. So much grocery store yesterday, buying toilet paper.
Speaker 2: Somehow it'd run out of toilet paper. You should never
Speaker 2: let that happen too. He's down to the last roll.
Speaker 2: So I'm at the grocery store buying in toilet paper
Speaker 2: and I'd buy a big thing of the softest best
Speaker 2: stuff they have. You know what I didn't work with.
Speaker 2: I didn't work my whole life to use sandpaper, right, huh.
Speaker 2: He deserves this.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I get up there and I'm checking out,
Speaker 1: and he said, man, you want to buy a couple
Speaker 1: because we're really raising prices on a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: Next week, everything's gonna shoot up.
Speaker 2: And I said because of the tariffs, and the kid
Speaker 2: working there said, I don't know why, but I'm I
Speaker 2: have to go in and redo all the prices.
Speaker 1: Next week. It's going up a lot. So I thought, who,
Speaker 1: that's interesting.
Speaker 2: So that's about the time I'm gonna start noticing, kind
Speaker 2: of like during COVID when inflation hit.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, way to get to on the streets and
Speaker 1: do some first person reporting. Well done. I have a
Speaker 1: personal assistant who I tell what I need from the
Speaker 1: store and he sends his assistant, wellson, your personal assistant
Speaker 1: has to try eight different brands of toilet paper and
Speaker 1: then give a full report. Oh yeah, written, yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: And if he tries to use HEYI I'll detect it.
Speaker 1: I want a personal reports. All right, We've got a
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. Let's do it. Let's figure out
Speaker 1: who's supporting a lot. It's the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 3: Katie starting with NBC News Ahead, if he talks, Trump
Speaker 3: says he will not soften his China tariffs.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised when when he gives answers like that, will
Speaker 1: you consider lessening the tariffs on Chinna? No is a
Speaker 1: big newsmaker. How are you going to negotiate if you
Speaker 1: don't stand firm on your your side? I mean, what,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, a few announce going in. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'lldrop it at least twenty five percent.
Speaker 3: From the New York Post, Kilmar Obrego Garcia allegedly worked
Speaker 3: for a convicted human smuggler to transport illegal migrants.
Speaker 1: I have the Maryland Father, the league coach. This is
Speaker 1: shocking revelation. From Fox News.
Speaker 3: US air traffic control system overhaul to be unveiled mid
Speaker 3: major safety concerns.
Speaker 1: Love it. It's high time. Let's do it. Let's shake
Speaker 1: things up. Let's change things. We become hyde bound and
Speaker 1: paralyzed with our bureaucracies and our systems. Let's shake it up.
Speaker 3: From Breitbart dot Com, doje deactivates five hundred thousand unused
Speaker 3: or unneeded government issued credit cards.
Speaker 1: As audit expands, why half million government credit cards floating
Speaker 1: around out there because nobody keeps tracking nobody cares. It's
Speaker 1: not their money.
Speaker 3: From Bloomberg, FTC says Instagram suggested quote groomers connect with minors.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what did Instagram?
Speaker 3: Their algorithm is actually driving miners content in the direction
Speaker 3: of people who are showing signs and being pedophiles on there.
Speaker 1: Doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 2: I mean, they've showed an interest in a certain kind
Speaker 2: of video and the algorithm picks that up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, you know. Mark Zuckerberg said the other day
Speaker 1: we ought to talk about this. My vision is that
Speaker 1: most of your friends, if not all, will be AI
Speaker 1: and I swear.
Speaker 2: When it turns out he is Satan, and they go
Speaker 2: backward and connect the dots and explain it, you'll think, oh,
Speaker 2: how did I miss that?
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg said that the other day. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I've got some real life examples of that too that
Speaker 2: are shocking to me. Yeah, well, I'll talk about that later.
Speaker 3: From Daily Mail, warning as venomous insect imported from China
Speaker 3: invades nineteen US states.
Speaker 1: Oh what is it?
Speaker 3: It's called the Asian needle ant, good lord, and they
Speaker 3: are ugly.
Speaker 2: First COVID, then this thanks China, the Asian needle ant
Speaker 2: and what does it do?
Speaker 1: It jumps up and pokes up my eyes? So what's
Speaker 1: the do to me? Precisely, that's it. From USA Today, Pirates.
Speaker 3: Fan describes injuries sustained in twenty one foot fall at
Speaker 3: PNC Park. I've broken everything, but I'm all right.
Speaker 2: Have you seen the latest video of somebody released that
Speaker 2: was behind him? And this is the first really good
Speaker 2: video of how he went over. And then the picture
Speaker 2: that came out over the weekend of him laying on
Speaker 2: his back, spreadygeld in his little shorts.
Speaker 1: That's not a dignified look.
Speaker 3: And finally from the Babylon b Trump he renames San
Speaker 3: Francisco Bay the Gulf of Criminals.
Speaker 1: There you go, Yes, that's hilarious. Eh.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Yeah, we gotta talk about that Zuckerberg thing.
Speaker 2: You're all your friends are gonna be aih that's fantastic
Speaker 2: or not?
Speaker 1: Oh, go to heaven. I think he's closer to right
Speaker 1: than you are. He's Satan. You're worshiping Satan now? Huh?
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: Ford announces sticker prices increasing by two thousand dollars due
Speaker 2: to tariffs. Ford announced that yesterday two grand jump at
Speaker 2: once because of the tariffs is not minor. And I
Speaker 2: don't know if that was an attempt to get people's
Speaker 2: attention or just to alert people to what's happening or what.
Speaker 2: But as I mentioned with my charming toilet paper story
Speaker 2: from a few minutes ago, I think we're all about
Speaker 2: to start seeing some price changes and the political fallout
Speaker 2: from that will be exciting to watch.
Speaker 1: Oh, no doubt. Yeah, absolutely, just a question of when, where,
Speaker 1: and how much? But it ought to be beginning any
Speaker 1: second and more. You know what, why don't we go
Speaker 1: ahead and focus on that. I will just change around
Speaker 1: the order of what I was going to bring up.
Speaker 1: American importers are canceling orders and scrambling for alternatives. Chinese
Speaker 1: factories cut staff and offload guds. The Wall Street Journal
Speaker 1: reporting on a number of different companies, including your major
Speaker 1: toy importers, your bubble guns and super soakers and all
Speaker 1: sorts of that sort of thing. Rights, tons of pardon me,
Speaker 1: slipping slides. Yeah, well probably a classic fun now as
Speaker 1: in yesterdayar but yeah, it's it's all made in China
Speaker 1: or virtually. You know, so much of it's made in China,
Speaker 1: you might as well say that. And they're describing Trump's
Speaker 1: tariffs and the chaos that's creating for business people on
Speaker 1: both sides of the Pacific. One of the more notable
Speaker 1: parts of this article, I thought, is that Chinese factories
Speaker 1: halting production lines, furlowing workers sideline are piling up in storage.
Speaker 1: And Duke Galway, a thirty year old Chinese consultant who
Speaker 1: helps local exporters sell their goods on TikTok, which is
Speaker 1: still happening in the US even though there's a law
Speaker 1: that banned it. Trump, what are you doing? It's a
Speaker 1: Chinese intelligence agency spy tool. More on that. Later said
Speaker 1: many of his clients that sell cheaper customer goods are
Speaker 1: simply instructing shipping companies to get rid of goods on
Speaker 1: the voyage to the US. After the American customer said,
Speaker 1: we don't want them anymore. They're halfway across the Pacific.
Speaker 1: We don't care. We don't want them. So whether the
Speaker 1: goods are dumped into the sea or the sailors repossessed them,
Speaker 1: I don't know. He said, Wow, Well, so I say
Speaker 1: I've been saying for a couple of weeks there's going
Speaker 1: to be a day come where this is like the
Speaker 1: only story in the country practically. Do you still think
Speaker 1: that's possible. Uh? Yes, Trump is getting trade deal set
Speaker 1: up as quickly as possible. They are going to announce
Speaker 1: today the framework of a trade deal with Britain. The
Speaker 1: numbers yet to be filled in, which means badly a
Speaker 1: deal at all.
Speaker 2: At least of the numbers. I just looked at Britain's
Speaker 2: like three percent of our trading.
Speaker 1: They're very little bit right, We're very big for them,
Speaker 1: tom nuge for us. It's it's it's they're easy, friendly
Speaker 1: and cooperative and having defy Trump in any way, that's
Speaker 1: why they're first through the door.
Speaker 2: But again, great Britain. Spotted dick. I ordered that about
Speaker 2: once a year. Well, if you want spotted dick, get
Speaker 2: it from Britain, trust me.
Speaker 1: But look it up. It's a real thing. It's a
Speaker 1: dessert allegedly, and.
Speaker 2: An unfortunate thing that can happen to a sailor after
Speaker 2: a long night.
Speaker 1: See that's incorrect, That is not correct. What was I
Speaker 1: trying to say? Oh, so they're going to announce the
Speaker 1: framework of a deal, whatever that means. Any deal without
Speaker 1: the numbers filled in is no deal at all. Anyway.
Speaker 1: China is the source of seventy four percent of the
Speaker 1: US IS Important toys and games, eighty seven percent of
Speaker 1: our Christmas decorations, even though they're godless Christmas decorations made
Speaker 1: in China not surprising, but excluding natural Christmas trees obviously,
Speaker 1: ninety seven percent of our fireworks or with the fourth
Speaker 1: of July a mirror less than two months away, Americans
Speaker 1: Important a total of four hundred and forty billion dollars
Speaker 1: of goods from China last year, recording the Census Bureau. Anyway,
Speaker 1: and it goes from oil drilling, press vices, calipers, industrial
Speaker 1: metal working products, super soakers, fake Christmas trees. It's just
Speaker 1: it's so many things, as anybody who's tried to buy
Speaker 1: Americans discovered in examining tags. So when again, when it hits,
Speaker 1: where it hits and how hard it hits is anybody's guess.
Speaker 1: But it's about to hit.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, like you know, like I was told yesterday, Hey,
Speaker 2: you might want to buy two of those toilet papers
Speaker 2: because next week we're raising the price a lot. I
Speaker 2: think people are gonna notice. So I'm curious about that.
Speaker 2: I don't believe we import our TP from China. I
Speaker 2: would have to look. I thought we have head domestic
Speaker 2: or like Mexican paper mills and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: But I would have to check. But is that just
Speaker 2: a generalized raising of prices by the grocery store to
Speaker 2: see you know why?
Speaker 1: By doctor G's booty wipe? What is your brand? Wow,
Speaker 1: chairman cheese clean bottom. So moving along Zuckerberg's grand division,
Speaker 1: most of our friends will be AI. This is already happening.
Speaker 1: I don't think you understand how much this is happening.
Speaker 2: I luckily have a normal human being out there who
Speaker 2: has been like a reporter for me, sending me screen
Speaker 2: captions of their friends. They're horrified and amazed how many,
Speaker 2: like average, normal middle class people are turning to aa
Speaker 2: AI for companionship, Like people they would have never guessed
Speaker 2: are doing that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't doubt it. I've heard your reports
Speaker 1: and I believe them. Also, when I see them, I'm shocked.
Speaker 2: I'm like, really, really, You're coming home from work after
Speaker 2: a long, stressful day and you're having a conversation with
Speaker 2: a bot and it's comforting you, and you're excited about
Speaker 2: it and you can't wait till next time.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So if I were who would Satan's boss
Speaker 1: be depends on your interpretation of scriptures, I suppose, and
Speaker 1: your your view of God man. But if I were to,
Speaker 1: like maybe the old Satan quits, then I need a
Speaker 1: new one. And various demons come in to interview for
Speaker 1: the job, I'm gonna sit them down and I'm gonna say, understand,
Speaker 1: your job is to steal people's souls. Job one. Now
Speaker 1: you had one job. The job one is stealing people's souls.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of rigmarole, there's a lot of fire
Speaker 2: and brimstone, which there's a lot of stuff around the edges.
Speaker 2: But what we're here to do is steal people's souls.
Speaker 2: And the way you do that some you can seduce,
Speaker 2: but the best way is to deaden their souls. So
Speaker 2: let's talk about deadening souls.
Speaker 1: And you know, if you were to accept that description
Speaker 1: of the work of the evil one, I think Mark
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg is at the very least his most able imp
Speaker 1: his most able assistant. I don't doubt for a second
Speaker 1: what you're saying. And I get it. I've read some
Speaker 1: exchanges between real humans and AI quote unquote friends where
Speaker 1: the real human says, hey, I'm really frustrated at work.
Speaker 1: My boss does this, and the AI gives them, you know,
Speaker 1: some thoughts and approaches, the sympathetic ear and stuff. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it's insane. I'm saying it is as seductive
Speaker 1: as it is because it's not insane.
Speaker 2: Well right, I'm trying to accept it as it clearly
Speaker 2: seems to be human nature that we have to anthropomorphize.
Speaker 1: I never can say that word that was well done.
Speaker 2: This sort of conversation in our brain just does it,
Speaker 2: whether we want to or not, right, and gives us
Speaker 2: like an attachment to it as if it's a person.
Speaker 1: Right. Whether that's good or not, it's definitely not. It's
Speaker 1: a completely different question, which you have helpfully answered. So
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg wants you to have AI friends, an AI therapists,
Speaker 1: and AI business agent. In Zuckerberg's vision for new digital future,
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence friends outnumber human companions and chatbot experiences. Supplant therapists,
Speaker 1: ad agencies, and coders. AI will play a central role
Speaker 1: in the human experience. Facebook co founder said in a
Speaker 1: recent it's a series of intervutions.
Speaker 2: To think you through two very different things there that
Speaker 2: he kind of looked together as if they're similar.
Speaker 1: The AI will be the coders. Okay, fine, I can.
Speaker 2: See agencies, but your friends and companions, Okay, now we're
Speaker 2: into something completely different. Yes, yeah, I think people are
Speaker 2: going to a system that knows them well and that
Speaker 2: kind of understands them in a way that their feed
Speaker 2: algorithms do.
Speaker 1: God, he let me repeat that.
Speaker 2: He thinks people want a friend, computer friend that understands
Speaker 2: them the way our algorithms understand them.
Speaker 1: He said on a podcast last week. He thinks the
Speaker 1: average person wants to have more friends and connections with
Speaker 1: other people than they currently do, and that AI friends
Speaker 1: are the solution. No, they're not real friends, real interactions.
Speaker 1: There have been giant leaps forward in programs in various areas, schools, groups,
Speaker 1: et cetera, who institute guidelines and plans that young people
Speaker 1: in particular interact on a human level together, cell phone bands,
Speaker 1: outings to the woods, et cetera. People are rediscovering that
Speaker 1: and not surprisingly, friends, I'm sure you're not surprised. Not surprisingly,
Speaker 1: they're reporting wonderful results doing decisely the opposite of what Satan.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, mister Zuckerberg is suggesting. I'm horrified by this.
Speaker 2: Well, so I probably need to divorce it from Zuckerberg
Speaker 2: because it's gonna happen, whether he if he dropped dead today,
Speaker 2: is still going to go forward the fact that that
Speaker 2: this exists out there.
Speaker 1: But I am interested.
Speaker 2: Does he actually think that that's a positive or is
Speaker 2: he only thinking as a businessman, there's gonna be trillions
Speaker 2: of dollars in this, and I want to lead the
Speaker 2: way and make the money.
Speaker 1: He can't actually think.
Speaker 2: People having fake connections is a leap forward of some sort.
Speaker 2: Sure he could, He's just he lacks insights and them
Speaker 2: then he's a weird dude.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think there are a lot of
Speaker 1: people that came out there for what it's What was
Speaker 1: I going to say, Satan? Oh, he talks about like
Speaker 1: AI therapists, right.
Speaker 2: I know, I know secondhand because I've, like I've said,
Speaker 2: I've seen the screenshots from friends who probably shouldn't be
Speaker 2: sending friends screenshots. People who are leaning on the AI
Speaker 2: therapist thing or advice for their marriage, you're raising their kids,
Speaker 2: and all kinds of different things and like feeling really
Speaker 2: deep connections here, that's the the part that's weird, right,
Speaker 2: I would agree that is a little bit troubling, the
Speaker 2: deep connections as if it's a human being that that
Speaker 2: troubles me. Although the idea of an AI therapist, I
Speaker 2: think is a.
Speaker 1: Good one at least potentially speaking, because I just speaking
Speaker 1: for for instance, my daughter, Well, the real life suck, well,
Speaker 1: right exactly, if.
Speaker 2: You can get an appointment to find out they suck,
Speaker 2: you can't find out they suck.
Speaker 1: For one hundred and forty days, right, right. So Yeah,
Speaker 1: to have somebody a system that was you know, useful
Speaker 1: in say, aiding somebody in self guided behavioral cognitive behavioral
Speaker 1: therapy for instance, if you know what it is, if
Speaker 1: you don't, If you know, you do, if you don't,
Speaker 1: I would chat GPT it. Speaking of which I will
Speaker 1: never google any thing again. I've really gotten into chat GPT.
Speaker 1: There are other systems that are probably everybody's good. I
Speaker 1: just had to choose one. I chose that one so
Speaker 1: so so it's explain to me how that works. Do
Speaker 1: I have like an app that I go to and
Speaker 1: then I type in my question there instead Google? Yeah, okay, precisely.
Speaker 1: I mean you can do all sorts of other things
Speaker 1: with it, but yeah, just for search like ages ago.
Speaker 1: This is a silly example, but I had a I
Speaker 1: want me with a dog face? Can I do that?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Good Lord, Yes you can. You can if you would like, yes,
Speaker 1: But I used it. I've been trying to find a
Speaker 1: particular loft in a golf club, which is really hard
Speaker 1: because they don't make many of them. I had one
Speaker 1: years ago. I haven't found one since, and I have
Speaker 1: tried to Google it, and I get reams of useless
Speaker 1: ads and results from various golf club suppliers and salespeople
Speaker 1: and whatever, just utterly, utterly useless. I use chat GPT
Speaker 1: just for fun this morning, you see if I could
Speaker 1: find it, And they said that club is almost impossible
Speaker 1: to find because they're usually manufactured with these parameters. We've
Speaker 1: found you some stuff that's very close. Check this out. Wow.
Speaker 1: And it was night and day better than Google, which
Speaker 1: brings us to because we're running out of time. AI's
Speaker 1: threat to Google just got real drop in search traffic.
Speaker 1: Is reminder technical advancement technological can displace long established tech giants,
Speaker 1: and indeed, for the first time. Ever, Google searches have
Speaker 1: dropped significant. Okay, can you bring this up again later.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about it, have more time, because
Speaker 2: I think this is a really good topic, and I
Speaker 2: think there's a lot of people like me that haven't
Speaker 2: taken the step you've taken that will today after we
Speaker 2: hear you explain how it works and uh this sort
Speaker 2: of stuff that's that's really interesting.
Speaker 1: And Google stock plummeted upon this disclosure. I'd be a
Speaker 1: crying shame.
Speaker 2: I know it's sad Google could go the way of
Speaker 2: Yahoo dominant to all of a sudden.
Speaker 1: Not MySpace place a punchline.
Speaker 2: We've got mail bag on the way and a bunch
Speaker 2: of stuff. You have any thoughts on any of this
Speaker 2: text line four one five two nine five KFTC. I'm
Speaker 2: a giant World War two fan, as listeners know, but
Speaker 2: May eighth has never been in my head. Is a
Speaker 2: date that like I commemorate the way I do, like
Speaker 2: June sixth or a lot of other days December seventh.
Speaker 2: But Trump wants to change that, and he made another
Speaker 2: announcement about that today.
Speaker 1: He's dying, folks. We're talking about V Day, which actually
Speaker 1: is a local time. May seventh, or the declaration of victory. Anyway.
Speaker 2: Well, Trump just announced, like I'm ten minutes ago, that
Speaker 2: he wants to rename May eighth v Day in the
Speaker 2: United States.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's so we'll talk about it. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: the president auto unilaterally do that sort of thing. We
Speaker 1: have a Congress. But here's your freedom loving quote of
Speaker 1: the day with a little description. So when the complete
Speaker 1: surrender of the German forces was received, the officers around
Speaker 1: Eisenhower tried out several grand statements, rough drafts for him
Speaker 1: to look at, hoping to come up with words worthy
Speaker 1: of the momentous occasion. But the Supreme Commander took a
Speaker 1: look at him, didn't like him, and he issued this
Speaker 1: statement instead. And here's your freedom loving quote of the day.
Speaker 1: The mission of this Allied force was fulfilled at two
Speaker 1: forty one local time May seventh, nineteen forty five. There
Speaker 1: you go, we did our job. I love that. I
Speaker 1: love that. Speeches and grand eloquent you know, mission made later. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we set out to do it. It's done. That's what
Speaker 1: I sometimes say in the bedroom. Good lord, mail bag,
Speaker 1: worst thing you've ever said, I don't know, drop us
Speaker 1: a note, mail bag, no, say no long list, say
Speaker 1: no more. Please, I'm begging you. Drop us a note
Speaker 1: mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Jeff Wrights
Speaker 1: on the topic of the Columbia University madness. More on
Speaker 1: that to come. Could you imagine spending seventy thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a year to send you your kid to that school
Speaker 1: and having to deal with this chaos unmasked Antifa, that's
Speaker 1: the thing. They shut down the library and said, if
Speaker 1: you're coming out, you're taking off your mask or rescue
Speaker 1: arresting you or identifying everybody in this library. All those
Speaker 1: the start.
Speaker 2: Idiots in there in their kafas wrapped around their face.
Speaker 2: I don't some of them are Marxists. I think a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of them are the classic useful idiots. They
Speaker 2: don't know what they're doing. Sure, yeah, let's see star rights.
Speaker 1: Hey guys, looks like my alma mater grew a pair
Speaker 1: and then the heart of Red Seattle, Blue Seattle, you
Speaker 1: mean bravo? University of Washington, Bravo, and deport any foreign
Speaker 1: students on visas. The headline is University of Washington suspends
Speaker 1: twenty one students after occupation of engineering building. They were
Speaker 1: occupying in protest of the school's ties to Boeing. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it's a pro Palestinian thing. Who knows what stupid garbage
Speaker 1: it is. On the topic of sins, celibacy and priests, you, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: writes KP mentioned the horrors of child sexual abuse in
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church with little reference to the sixteenth century
Speaker 1: Protestant Reformation. In case you were wondering, we Protestants have
Speaker 1: been calling out the Catholic Church on the issue for
Speaker 1: over five hundred years. Follow the links below you can
Speaker 1: read some quotes from the great reformer Martin Luther on
Speaker 1: the subject of clerical celibacy and all the harm it
Speaker 1: causes the church. Interesting. If you've never read Luthor, I
Speaker 1: recommend it highly. You'll be surprised as sharp wit and
Speaker 1: irreverent sense of humor. I actually read some of it
Speaker 1: and it's really really interesting. Wow. I'll check that out.
Speaker 1: I'm unaware of that. I will send you the links
Speaker 1: signor we will post them at Armstrong Ageeddy dot com.
Speaker 1: Papa Jonathan in Fort Scott, Kansas right send. Anyone ever
Speaker 1: mentioned that birth rates are falling just because there are
Speaker 1: a few babies around. Babies are so cute it makes
Speaker 1: others want them. Without that driver, it's a negative feedback loop. There,
Speaker 1: there's less baby fever with fewer babies around us. Both
Speaker 1: makes sense, good point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you miss a segment at the podcast Armstrong
