1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: Getty and he Armstrong and Getty. 4 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 2: What we are looking at here that will be signed 5 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 2: tonight a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that will 6 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 2: implement a pause in fighting between the two sides for 7 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 2: forty two days. 8 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 1: This is a six week agreement that. 9 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: Will ultimately see thirty three hostages released from Hamas captivity 10 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 2: in Gaza. We are told by a number of sources 11 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: some of those hostages were killed and their bodies will 12 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: be returned to Israel, but at least twenty three of 13 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: them are believed to be alive. This is critical information 14 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 2: for the Israelis. They have been negotiating over the past 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: several weeks trying to get together the details of such 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 2: an agreement. 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty damned interesting. We'll be signed tonight. They're 18 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 3: reporting right there, and all news outlets are reporting this 19 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 3: as breaking news. Hamas and Israel agree to see Spire 20 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 3: hostage deal to be signed today. I can understand why 21 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 3: Hamas is doing it. I'm not exactly sure why why 22 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 3: Israel's doing it. Other than what I was talking about earlier. 23 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 3: I think they're ready to move on to their big 24 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 3: project as soon as Trump's in office, and that's attacking Iran. 25 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there's absolutely truth to that. I think the 26 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 4: other side of it is that they all along they 27 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 4: wanted to get the hostages back dead or alive, but 28 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 4: the leadership made the quite sane calculation that we're only 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 4: going to give Hamas what they want to get the 30 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 4: hostages back when it doesn't hurt our overall effort to 31 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 4: decimate them, because we've got to decimate them. And at 32 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 4: this point Hamas is so week in Israel thinks, okay, 33 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 4: we can do this. 34 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 3: Another interesting part of it, I mean, there would be 35 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 3: tremendous blowback on the international world stage against Israel, which 36 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: there always is no matter what they do. But if 37 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 3: a week from now Hamas wants to I mean, so, 38 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 3: if they give back to hostage, Hamas. 39 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: Can't start back up. Really, Israel can easily. 40 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, Hamas can regroup and improve their situation, but not 41 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 4: by leaps and bounds. You know, the media is going 42 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 4: crazy over this story, which is fine. It's a big 43 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 4: story and it could be a very very big story. 44 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 4: But I guess I'm a little cynical and a little 45 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 4: annoyed because they have been howling for a ceasefire since 46 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 4: October eighth of twenty three. 47 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: Israel must stop firing, they. 48 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 4: Must stand down, which is just absurd and obscene. You're 49 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 4: talking about a ceasefire with Islamist monsters, murderers, rapists, torturers, 50 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 4: and their word cannot be taken at any face value whatsoever. 51 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: So we'll see how it goes. 52 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: I don't know if Hamas or has will A can 53 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 3: ramp back up anymore the way they used to without 54 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: the help from Iran that they've been used to getting 55 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 3: for all these years. 56 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 4: Now, will you prevent that in the long term is 57 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 4: good governance, and that's a hell of a task. 58 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: Trump is going to portray this as a huge win 59 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 3: for him, and he might be completely accurate because that 60 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 3: has a lot to do with it. Hamas believes the 61 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: gloves to which to what extent gloves were still on, 62 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: would really be off when Trump is the president. Ain't 63 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: nobody gonna give net Yahoo a tongue lashing for bomb 64 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 3: and Hamas wants a Trump's. 65 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 4: At office right absolutely, and Biden and company are desperately 66 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 4: trying to portray it as a victory of theirs, but 67 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 4: I don't think anybody buys that. 68 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 3: Those Trump's ambassador to the UN was Nicki Haley last time. 69 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: Who is it this time? At least Stephonic Oh right, yeah, 70 00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: oh okay, cool. 71 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 4: Yes, you get approved pretty easily too, according to what 72 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 4: I see and hear and read. 73 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: According to all of the mainstream media, hegxeth is now 74 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: going to get approved. He's going to be the Secretary Defense. 75 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 3: Marco Rubio is never in doubt as Secretary of State. 76 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: Pam Bondi not in doubt according to NPR and others, 77 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 3: for being the Attorney General. So we're gonna get to 78 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 3: the dicey ones. Tomorrow is tomorrow? 79 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: Rfk jr. That one? 80 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 3: Is that what the Democrats are gonna hold out for 81 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 3: because they gotta they gotta make their voters excited by 82 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 3: really fighting somebody, right, Is it gonna be rfk JR. 83 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, probably so? Or's it gonna be U Tulsi. 84 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 4: Some of the anti Tulsi fire has been taken out 85 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 4: of the discussion. She's moderated various stances and come off 86 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 4: as reasonably saying you get your behind the scenes story 87 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 4: about she screwed up one question with one senator behind 88 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 4: the scenes, but then did better with a you know, 89 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 4: let's just let's get to the hearings and see how 90 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 4: it goes. 91 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: I think the RFK Junior hearings could be great. I 92 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: don't know. 93 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: He's a smart guy, he's a Kennedy. He's been in 94 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 3: you know, high profile his whole life. Maybe he's just 95 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: really good at moderating his answers. But sometimes he doesn't. 96 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 3: Sometimes he just says what he thinks, and it's very exciting. 97 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 4: Noted Bear corpse abuser Robert F. Kennedy Junior. I read 98 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 4: this morning that a couple of his advisors who are 99 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 4: a little more out there in terms of being anti vax, 100 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 4: have been quietly asked by the Trump team to pursue 101 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 4: other employment. They're trying to bring his team a little 102 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 4: closer to Trump's view, which is mainstream. 103 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, just not as anti vax. Now. Kennedy 104 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: himself says, I'm not anti vax. 105 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 4: I'm anti playing down the risks of some vaccination. 106 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: There are quite a few quotes out of there of 107 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 3: him being really anti vax. 108 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: But maybe it's correct. Maybe he just speaking to a 109 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: certain crowd. 110 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 3: The thing that to me, and we've talked about this, lady, 111 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 3: But the thing that's most amazing that he's got such 112 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: the embrace of the Republican Party on this is his 113 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 3: stance on abortion. He's a abortions for everybody up to 114 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 3: birth guy and always has been mm hm. And his 115 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 3: position would play a role in funding for various things 116 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 3: that you care about. 117 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: In the world of abortion right right now. 118 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 4: He will moderate those views because he serves at the 119 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 4: pleasure of the president. Although Trump's views on abortion or 120 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 4: you know, pick whatever word you want, they're they're considerably 121 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 4: more moderate than past Republican Oh sure, absolutely, he's he's 122 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 4: the most pro abortion Republican president ever. Not that he's 123 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 4: pro abortion, but he's closer to that side than any 124 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 4: Republican president. 125 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 126 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate you walking back your comments the gentleman 127 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 4: from Kansas the rest of my time. 128 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're right, and honestly, the pro life that's 129 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 3: a better way to say. He's at least pro life 130 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 3: Republican president we've ever had. 131 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 4: As reprehensible as I find the idea of casual abortion 132 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 4: on demand, I've also made it fairly clear through the 133 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 4: years that I think a more in line with America's 134 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 4: mainstream view of a mari of abortion would be good 135 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 4: for the Republican Party because A, we can get done 136 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 4: all the other stuff that we can't get done if 137 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 4: we lose elections, and B to me, I would like 138 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 4: to see it. While there are certain legal limitations that 139 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 4: I believe for one hundred percent justified in terms of 140 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 4: early term abortions, I would like to see it become 141 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 4: a moral issue that we talk about and spend less 142 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: time screaming at each other about elections and judges. 143 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: I just think it would be more useful. Trump's closer to. 144 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 3: Where the American people are than most Republican presidents have 145 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 3: been to that like two thirds of Americans that are 146 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: okay with it first trimester. 147 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: Anyway, I think the. 148 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: For a lot of the day, this ceasefire agreement is 149 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: going to obliterate any of the hearings coverage, which might 150 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 3: be good for the candidates. 151 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: So it's just the way that works. Yeah, I think so. 152 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 4: Because it's an innocent until proven guilty situation, isn't it. 153 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 4: The president nominated you, I got to show good cause 154 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 4: for not letting you in. So yeah, I think that's 155 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 4: probably true. 156 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: Just saw the Congressional Budget Office has shrunk its projections 157 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 3: for the US population over the next thirty years to 158 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: three hundred and seventy two million residents, a two point 159 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 3: eight percent dropped from last year, citing less expected immigration 160 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 3: change in policy, which I would hope given the highest 161 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 3: percentage of foreign born people in America we've ever had 162 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: a nation's history, and nobody voted for that. That was 163 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 3: not up for a vote anyway. Also lower birth rate, 164 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: declining birth rates. Talk about an under a reported story. 165 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 3: And what were we talking about earlier? Oh, we got 166 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 3: onto AI who put this on our feed Katie on 167 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 3: our own personal text feed.

That's a big part of it. 182 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 3: But you combine that with those sex robots they had 183 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 3: last week at the Computer Consumer Electronics Show, and AI's 184 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 3: ability to have the sex robots figure out what you're 185 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 3: interested in, like TikTok and Instagram does what are your interests? 186 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 3: You know, what's the best way to talk to you 187 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: to make you like me? Those sex robots are gonna 188 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 3: know that.

I almost guarantee it's 191 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 3: going to be a bad ending. But I just want 192 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 3: to see it. I want to see it happen. Yeah, 193 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: it will be troubling. I mean already. 194 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 4: The CBO forecast sharply lower population growth in the US 195 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 4: over the next three decades. They're reflecting lower rates of 196 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 4: immigration and fertility. As the results of the changes. Deaths 197 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 4: are expected to exceed births in twenty twenty three, first time, 198 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 4: eight years from now, twenty three years earlier than they 199 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 4: had projected just a year ago. 200 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 3: Were you really going backwards then when you got more 201 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 3: deads and birds? 202 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: Obviously? Oh yeah yeah. 203 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 4: And if we make immigration more sane, that means you know, 204 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 4: population loss at some point significant. 205 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: There's no turning that around either. I don't think, no. 206 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 4: No, And that would really be fine mostly were it 207 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 4: not for a social safety net system that relies entirely 208 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 4: on working youngsters significantly outnumbering ulsters getting the benefits. But 209 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: that's a big problem. That's you know, two thirds or 210 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 4: whatever it is of the federal budget. 211 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: Right. 212 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: It's a short turmish problem though, because I mean, guess, 213 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: if you're young, you got another sixty years to live 214 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 3: in this country, eighty seventy years depending on how old 215 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 3: you are, so I guess you know you're gonna. 216 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: Live in whatever that country is. 217 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 3: But after that there won't be anybody here, or they'll 218 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 3: be from other lands. 219 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: And we have a planet of the apes, or you know. 220 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 3: I guess my point is it's hard to be concerned 221 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 3: about people that will never exist. 222 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 4: Right, And you know, I'm concerned about the idea of 223 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 4: and this is inevitable, a third world people of whatever 224 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 4: belief and culture who are continuing to have babies eventually 225 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 4: will come north and take over the land mass that 226 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 4: is currently called the United States of America in the 227 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 4: way that you know, ten thousand years ago, the place 228 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 4: looks significantly different than it does now. 229 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: But our kids or our kids' kids won't your kids kids' 230 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 3: kids won't exist, So it's not like they have to put. 231 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: Up with it. They aren't gonna be here, and I 232 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: feel terrible. 233 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 3: It might be bad for humanity, but I mean, there's 234 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: nobody I'm related to that it's gonna be bothered because 235 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 3: they won't be here. 236 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: To not exist is the worst of faiths to me. Okay, 237 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: we got more on stay here. 238 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 5: President Biden will deliver his farewell address to the nation. 239 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 5: Biden will say goodbye to the nation. Well, the nation 240 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 5: will say, oh wow, you're still here, all right. 241 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 1: Yeah. 242 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 5: Biden's speech is expected to be twenty minutes long, but 243 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 5: forecasters say he feels like will be three hours. 244 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: That's a pretty good joke. 245 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 5: Along with his accomplishments as president, Biden will also reflect 246 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 5: on his years as Vice president, senator, and Thomas Jefferson's 247 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 5: chief of staff. 248 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: That should be interesting. Wow. 249 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 3: Even NPR was reporting on how Joe Biden leaves with 250 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 3: very low approval rating among Americans and in his own party, 251 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 3: and new polls NPR said, we've talked about this last week. 252 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 3: New polls show that Americans feel that Biden will be 253 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 3: seen as a failure of a president in historical terms. 254 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 3: So yeah, the old polls said that as well. Yeah, 255 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: everybody's just figuring it out for sure. Yeah, goodbye, mummy. 256 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 3: Slightly ironic. 257 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 4: I was ready to do a couple of pretty damned 258 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 4: interesting health notes here. We were, Judy and I were 259 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 4: scheduled to get together with some very good friends of 260 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 4: ours to do as what we often do, play some cards, 261 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 4: have a little dinner, a couple of glasses of wine 262 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 4: or something. And we got the call, hey, just so 263 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 4: you know, missus blank has a cold, and so it's 264 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 4: up to you and all and well we went back 265 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 4: and forth and we're like, yeah, you know, what are 266 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 4: we gonna do? Not live our lives, these are our 267 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 4: best friends. 268 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna go. So we went over and sure enough, 269 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: three four days later, I have a. 270 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 4: Cold, very mild, shouldn't very very I'll let that pass, 271 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 4: very mild symptoms. And I thought, this is not so bad, 272 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 4: it's not a big deal. I remember having colds, and 273 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 4: they made me all of a sudden about fifteen minutes ago, 274 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 4: my energy level just went whoo. 275 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: I just want to lie down? Can I? Can I 276 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: lie down? Michael? Do you have a blanket? 277 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 3: Having a cultural sucks just so tiring. Yeah, And I'm 278 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: surprised that more of us don't wear masks just to 279 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: avoid getting colds. Were around somebody of the cold and 280 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 3: now a lot of years so anti mask because of 281 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 3: the way they forced it, honest, and I was mad. 282 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: About it too, and everything like that. 283 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 3: But just in general, if somebody has a cold in 284 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 3: my house or around me, I don't want it. I 285 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 3: really don't want it. It makes like another week and 286 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: a half miserable. 287 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 4: As we learn though, or certainly should have, it's got 288 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 4: to be an incredibly advanced mask to prevent a virus 289 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 4: passing through. But if it has to be on a droplet, 290 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 4: that's a different case. And so I don't know if 291 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 4: any sort of mask would do any good for a colt. 292 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: That's a good point. That's a good point. Yeah. 293 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 4: Anyway, So the couple of really interesting health notes I 294 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 4: have for you Alzheimer's terrifying, heartbreaking situation. 295 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: As everybody knows. 296 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 4: There is a big news study this out on Alzheimer's, 297 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 4: and there is one group of people that has a 298 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 4: disproportionately low incidence of Alzheimer's disease, and that is taxi 299 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 4: drivers and uber drivers particular. You know your higher drivers, 300 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 4: particularly those who do not or did not when they 301 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 4: started use navigation systems using your brain to picture spatial relationships, 302 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 4: realize that street is closed. Here are my alternatives. I'll 303 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 4: go this way. For reasons they don't quite get yet, 304 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 4: are so good. That sort of activity is so good 305 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 4: for your brain. It actually seems to be to some 306 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 4: extent insulating these people from Alzheimer's. 307 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 3: Wow, you had another example of use it or lose 308 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: it when it comes to your brain. 309 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not a huge difference, but it's significant. It 310 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 4: is statistically significant. I thought that was interesting. I'd like 311 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 4: to get microplastics, which I think are causing a hell 312 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 4: of a lot of problems. 313 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: And I'm no paranoiac. 314 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 4: But maybe we can get into that later today or 315 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 4: a subsequent show. 316 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 3: RFK Junior will probably be talking about that in his hearing. Actually, 317 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 3: that's one of his big topics shows arm Strong and Getty. 318 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 5: Well, everyone's talking about the TikTok band that's going into 319 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 5: effect this weekend. Yeah, and I read that TikTok users 320 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 5: are now downloading a different Chinese social media app called 321 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 5: Red Note. People are downloading another Chinese app right now. 322 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 5: American tech company is like, hey, we also spy on you. 323 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 5: Come on, hey. Meanwhile, the red Note app is actually, 324 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 5: by the way, it's actually in Chinese. 325 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: Right, Americans would literally rather. 326 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 5: Learn Mandarin than use Instagram reels. 327 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: All right, that's a funny joke. 328 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, TikTok, as we knew, it comes to an end 329 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 3: midnight Sunday night. But I just learned recently, as we 330 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 3: talked about yesterday, it's not going away. Really, It's gonna 331 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 3: be a real slow go away because if you have 332 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 3: the app on your phone, it'll still be on your 333 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 3: phone and it'll still exist. It's just you won't be 334 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 3: able to update the app and it will start to 335 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: get bugs. And then, like when you get the new 336 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 3: Apple update on your iPhone, it won't work with the 337 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 3: old app, but there won't be a new app, And 338 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 3: that's the way it's gonna get phased out. I was 339 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 3: I had all along, were you all along? I'd been 340 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 3: picturing it like disappearing or I don't know. No, you 341 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 3: thought it was going to be phased out the whole time. 342 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. 343 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 4: I've been reading about it. Yeah, but I'm in a 344 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 4: tiny minority of Americans. I think most people, including young people, 345 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 4: think the big mean government is going to end my 346 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 4: amusing videos that I'm addicted to, and I hate the 347 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 4: government so much. I'm going to download a Chinese app 348 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 4: that's named after Chairman Mouse, Little Red Book, despite my government, 349 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 4: because the communist Chinese give me funny videos all day long. 350 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: Anyway, it's troubling development. But before we get. 351 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 4: Into the whole Red Note app, because it's both troubling 352 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 4: and annoying and kind of hilarious, why don't we dip 353 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 4: into Grady Trimble of Fox News reporting on the latest 354 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 4: with the quote unquote TikTok band twenty six. 355 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: Michael will go from there. 356 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 6: The Wall Street Journal reports Chinese officials discuss letting Elon 357 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 6: Musk invest in or take control of TikTok's US operations. 358 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 6: The Tesla and SpaceX founder has a good relationship with 359 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 6: President elect Trump, of course, and with top Chinese officials 360 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 6: because of the business he does in China. The app 361 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 6: must be sold to a US owner or face of 362 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 6: ban effective January nineteenth. Still, TikTok is throwing cold water 363 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 6: on the idea of a Musk takeover, telling Fox the 364 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 6: company quote can't be expected to comment on pure fiction. 365 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 6: Investor Kevin O'Leary, who's interested in buying the app alongside 366 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 6: billionaire Frank McCort, also says such a move would be 367 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 6: unlikely to get regulatory approval because Mosque already owns X. 368 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 7: The speculation when there's a void of information is like 369 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 7: a wildfire. It's just all I know. And Frank would 370 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 7: say the same thing. We're in a partnership where the 371 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 7: only syndicate that put a real bit in front of 372 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 7: the company, in front of the bankers, in front of 373 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 7: the shareholders, and in front of the Chinese government. 374 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 3: I'm surprised we haven't been able to steal that algorithm. 375 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 3: China's stolen everything from us, including our F thirty five. 376 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 3: They built a plane that looks exactly like it with 377 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 3: the same technology. How have we not stolen the algorithm 378 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 3: of TikTok so we can really have our own TikTok. 379 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 3: That's every bit is good because. 380 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 4: We don't indulge in industrial espionage, Jack, and we ought 381 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 4: to start soon. 382 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: So what was I gonna say? 383 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 4: Oh? Oh, the mention of Elon Musk and company reminded 384 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 4: me of something kind of amusing. A red in the 385 00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 4: Free Press yesterday, Jeff Bezos Space Company Blue or Origin 386 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 4: had to postpone the debut launch of its big three 387 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 4: hundred and twenty foot rocket due to some sort of 388 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 4: last minute technical issues. So it's a real setback for them. 389 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 4: And they point out, obviously the Amazon CEO is jealous 390 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,479 Speaker 4: of Elon Musk SpaceX, which has been doing this for years. 391 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 4: Then they point out, but go easy on yourself, Jeff, 392 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 4: Elon's never delivered me Q tips in under twenty four hours. 393 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 4: I go Amazon. I thought that was cute. One more 394 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 4: note from Grady Trimble. Next clip, Michael And. 395 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 6: With just five days until TikTok potentially goes dark in 396 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 6: the US, some of its users are flocking to a 397 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 6: Shanghai based social media platform known as Red Note to 398 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 6: protest the possible ban and show they don't care about 399 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 6: ties to China. It is the number one free app 400 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 6: in the United States right now on Apple's App Store 401 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 6: and the Google Play Store. 402 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 3: Well, in my misunderstanding, this still TikTok's not going dark 403 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 3: on Monday. It's gonna look exactly the same on your 404 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 3: phone and behave exactly the same for quite a while, maybe, 405 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 3: isn't it. 406 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, you just can't download the app and it won't update, 407 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 4: as we've been discussing, although it. 408 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: Be weeks or months before it really is a problem. 409 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 4: The ability of addicted teens to get around virtually every 410 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 4: safeguard put in their way is astounding. It's like, you know, 411 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 4: water seeking its own level. It's one of the laws 412 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 4: of the universe anyway. So they point out that these 413 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 4: people flocking to red note is odd. It seems to 414 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 4: just be an anti US government gesture. But this was 415 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 4: pretty amusing. Again the Free Press. Ever since Biden signed 416 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 4: the bill, zoomers have been sardonically bidding farewell to the 417 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 4: Chinese spies assigned to monitor their online activities. 418 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: Quote it's been real my Chinese friend. 419 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 4: I posted another imagined trote quote trying to reconnect with 420 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 4: my Chinese spy on the dark web after the band 421 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 4: because I never felt more seen and understood than I 422 00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 4: did with him. 423 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: That's funny, you know. 424 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 4: If snark, if you could put snark in your gas 425 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 4: tank in bern It America could power the universe. 426 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: It's our greatest resource. 427 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 4: So the joke is carried over to Red Note, with 428 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 4: some Americans posting that they're looking for a new Chinese spy. 429 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 4: But the Chinese users on Red notes seem bemused by 430 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 4: these TikTok refugees, asking questions like why are you here? 431 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: Is it because your TikTok has been banned? 432 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 4: But overall they're we welcoming the Americans posting videos with 433 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 4: titles like hello from your new Chinese spy. They only 434 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 4: have one demand, and this is so social media, this 435 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 4: is so Internet. Just go with it, folks. They have 436 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 4: only one demand, Americans, show me your cat. The origin 437 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 4: of this request is uncertain and it's not entirely clear 438 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 4: why they want to see our feline friends. But these 439 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 4: so called cat tax has become a ubiquitous refrain in 440 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 4: the comments, and so far Americans have complied. So the 441 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 4: Chinese people demand show me your cat, and they picture 442 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 4: pic They post pictures or videos of the cats, this 443 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 4: one wearing an FBI badge around its neck in compliance 444 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 4: with it anyway, and beyond our cats, that's that's right, sir. 445 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 4: Our new Chinese friends are also curious about our lives, 446 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 4: asking Americans questions on red note, like do US people 447 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 4: really have to sell their house to pay their hospital bills? 448 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 4: Because that's obviously the propaganda they've gotten, And it occurs 449 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 4: to me just now because I have a cold and 450 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 4: my mind is moving very slowly. That Hijin Ping will 451 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 4: shut this down as quickly as he can because it 452 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 4: appears to be unfiltered communication between Chinese and Americans. 453 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, keeping in mind that their TikTok in China is 454 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 3: like math lessons. 455 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 4: They will write right, but on red note they're asking, 456 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 4: I want to know if the National Guard is part 457 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 4: of the American Army? And does everyone have to pay 458 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 4: property tax to the Irs every year? They also want 459 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 4: help with their English homework. Americans are asking questions too. 460 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 4: One TikTok refuge asked what the Chinese people thought of 461 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 4: Americans and got a flurry of responses like we don't 462 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 4: like American politicians, but we welcome the friendly American people. 463 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 4: Free Luigi, good lord, that's that cold hearted murder of 464 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 4: the poor healthcare exect, Coca cola sometimes war what I 465 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 4: don't care, Give me your data and if you have 466 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 4: a cat, then we are friends. 467 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: Get back to the cat tax, Pat Herbert. 468 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 3: Have you seen the pictures of Iran musk floating around 469 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 3: on the internet. 470 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:47,719 Speaker 4: I have not. 471 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 3: I have not, So that's an unfortunate linguistic slur against 472 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: Asian languages in which some people portray ours as l's 473 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 3: and reverse. We do not find funny or agree with. 474 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 3: But there is an Asian dude who looks like an 475 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 3: Asian version of Elon Musk, and people take pictures of 476 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 3: him everywhere he goes. I don't even know what country 477 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 3: it is, and say, spotted Eroon Musk again, and I 478 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 3: don't think it's funny. I brought it to you because 479 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 3: I think it's so not funny that it should be 480 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 3: mentioned on the air. Here's Eroon Musk at a restaurant. 481 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 4: The internet is obviously fascinating. That's not much of a joke. No, 482 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 4: but it caught on exactly. Yeah, in times a million, 483 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 4: it starts to get kind of funny, right, show me 484 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 4: your cat is not funny until everybody's doing it. 485 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 3: Then it kind of is a formula that Lorne Michael's 486 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 3: invented or discovered. I don't know how many Saturday Night 487 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 3: Live skits I've seen in the last sixty years now 488 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 3: or is it fifty six that weren't the least bit funny. 489 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 3: But they do it ten and pretty people. Pretty soon 490 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 3: people are laughing at Oh, really, isn't that special? Why 491 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 3: is that funny? Because you've seen it ten times? I 492 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 3: guess he did the catchphrase. He did the catchphrase. So 493 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 3: how's this TikTok thing going to play out? 494 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: Do you see? I really don't know. 495 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 4: One interesting aspect of this is that the Bike Dance 496 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 4: has said, yeah, if you do this, we'll just shut 497 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 4: down TikTok.
