1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty Armstrong and

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: Getty and he.

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty. I am horrified at this story about

5
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: the illegal immigrant who killed all those people down in

6
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: Florida by making a U turn in the middle of

7
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: the highway. How he ended up having a commercial driver's

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 2: license because of sanctuary cities and state policies is absolutely outrageous.

9
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: And we'll talk more about it later this hour.

10
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gabby Newso, I'm gonna have yet another just ninety

11
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: ten issue hung around his neck if he decides to

12
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: run for president.

13
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: So, as a precursor to what we're about to discuss,

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you can understand the world really until

16
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: you understand what a weird country we are. In a

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: lot of ways. We have been so safe and prosperous

18
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: and have such a great system and such a great

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: bill of rights that we are like by far the

20
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: most optimistic people on Earth, and Americans are uncalculating in

21
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: a way that and this is my main point. We

22
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: don't understand that the rest of the world is not

23
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: nearly as carefree as we are. I mean we are.

24
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Let's do a little dance and make a little love.

25
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: Get down tonight, you know, make a little money. Everybody's fine,

26
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: everybody's most people are nice and blah blah blah. The

27
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: rest of the world is much more grim and calculating.

28
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: And in that spirit, let's take a look inside the

29
00:01:48,560 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: China cabin. It's my masquerading as clever name for several

30
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: stories about China. China, we don't China's.

31
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: Salty another good point, and salty, that's right.

32
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: Yes, we brought this up before, but there is a

33
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: congressional report out now in a demand of Harvard University

34
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: that they stop educating the elites of the Chinese Communist

35
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: Party and how to be more effective communists. The elite

36
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: of our universities, including Harvard, are, through the Kennedy School

37
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: and other places, educating uh, the the well the elite. Again,

38
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: the most powerful people within the most powerful bodies of

39
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: the CCP. The collaboration between the Harvard Kennedy School and

40
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: the Chinese Executive Leadership Academy at Pudong. That institution is

41
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: controlled by the Central Organization Department, one of the most

42
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: powerful bodies within the CCP. It oversees shijin Ping thought

43
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: training programs for party elites and controls placement in key

44
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: communist party roles, and high ranking members of the Chinese

45
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: Academy of Social Sciences. And these people are sent to

46
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: the Harvard Kennedy School as part of the Organization Department's

47
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: education and training. And these Congress people are sending a

48
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: letter to the head guy at Harvard, President Alan Garber,

49
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: saying what are you doing? And it's a reasonable question

50
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: to cite some obvious, probably too obvious, historical parallels. Harvard

51
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: wasn't in nineteen thirty eight, you know, getting Joseph Goebbels

52
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: to be better at propaganda, you know, in exchange for

53
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: a full ride, you know, tuition.

54
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to think of this.

55
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: It's insane. Yeah, well, you know what, it's not insane.

56
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: It is a hangover, a holdover from that few decades

57
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: long period where we got duped into thinking China wanted

58
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: to reform and it wanted to become, you know, a

59
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: happy free market, to participant in the Community of Nations.

60
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: But like everybody knows, that's not true now except academia.

61
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: But helping communists be better in the Communist Party. It's

62
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: right there in the name Communist. We used to be

63
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: really against.

64
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: That, right. And Mike Gallagher has a piece in the

65
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal's opinion section today.

66
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: Which might get you. There's like five of them.

67
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. This is the former very sane, very

68
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: serious congressman from Wisconsin, chairman of the Select Committee on

69
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party, distinguished fellow at the Hodgson Institute. Anyway,

70
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: his piece is entitled, Send Harvard's Chinese students home. It

71
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: makes no sense for the U to be educating the

72
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: scientific and leadership clash of a future adversary. For decades,

73
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats agreed our universities were crowned jewels of

74
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: American exceptionalism, and Harvard shown brightest of all. Mister Trump, however,

75
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: has an uncanny knack for exposing rotten shibboliths. In recent

76
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: years have seen top universities unmasked as global far left

77
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: patronage networks, using research as a smoke screen to prevent

78
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: scrutiny of campus hate as they aid adversaries like China.

79
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: Roughly thirty percent of Harvard's student body is foreign. At Columbia,

80
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: it's almost forty percent, and America's top universities benefit from

81
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: billions of dollars in government grants and tax breaks while

82
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: admitting fewer Americans every year.

83
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: I'd like to know what it is in my local

84
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: college town, because it's pretty high.

85
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Oh. Meta's chief AI officer, Alexander Wang has

86
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 1: argued that the rate of AI progress maybe such the quote,

87
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: you need to prevent all of our secrets from going

88
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: over to our adversaries, and you need to lock down

89
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: the labs. Thousands of Chinese citizens. Chinese citizens are working

90
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: and studying in such labs. The US hosted one point

91
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: one million international students last year. Of those, twenty five

92
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: percent came from China, more than a quarter million.

93
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 2: I know somebody in academia who worked in a lab

94
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: with Chinese citizens who were there in the lab also,

95
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: and they would never talk about anything because they were

96
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: worried about if you brought up anything political. They would

97
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 2: never say anything. With the assumption from this person, I

98
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: know that they were scared to say anything because it

99
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: would get reported back.

100
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, foreign nationals, many of them Chinese,

101
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: accounted for almost forty percent of science doctorates in the

102
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: United states almost forty percent. Wow, that is incredible.

103
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: We are educating our number one global enemy for the

104
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 2: next you know, for the foreseeable future. China will be

105
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: our number one enemy on planet Earth, and we're educating

106
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: their scientists.

107
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: And Beijing is aggressively cultivating American educated and American employed

108
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: researchers by the Thousand Talents program. That's part of their

109
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: whole of society. Everybody has to be bent on China

110
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: being a sendant and squashing the US Blindly embracing academic

111
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: cooperation with geopolitical rivals is absurd. Nobody suggests we should

112
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: train i Iranian nuclear physicists or Russian ballistics engineers. The

113
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: US wouldn't have been better off collaborating more with Nazi

114
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: Germany in the thirties or with the Soviet during the

115
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: Soviets during the Cold War. Why make an exception for

116
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: a nation dedicated to surpassing the US in emerging technologies?

117
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: Then he mentions that universities loved the Chinese students because

118
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: they generally pay full freight, often subsidized by the Chinese

119
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: Communist Party. What the hell are we doing? And then

120
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: finally this speaking of money, and I mentioned this once

121
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: but it is absolutely worth digging into. There is a

122
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: nonprofit called the Energy Foundation China. It is based in

123
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: San Francisco and according to its website, EFC has disbursed

124
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: over half a billion dollars to more than four thousand

125
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: climate related projects, many of them in the US. Well,

126
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: wait a minute, since the Chinese Communist Party controls everything,

127
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: why is a Chinese Chinese? Excuse me? The Communist Party

128
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: run foundation financing thousands of climate related projects. Uh, it's

129
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: Ceoba the Way is based in Beijing and has a

130
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: background of strong CCP affiliations. Well, here's the deal, and

131
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz has dug into this. China has realized that

132
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: a if they can shove us away from steady sources

133
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: of energy, it hurts our economy. As they're building, they're

134
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: burning and building coal plants as fast as they can.

135
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: Plus they're pushing us as hard as they can toward

136
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: renewable energy. Who has cornered the market on the critical

137
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: rare earth minerals for instance, batteries, etc. Who has cornered

138
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: the market on all that stuff in renewable energy? China?

139
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: So they are financing all of these Americans so called

140
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: environmental groups screaming for us to give up fossil fuels

141
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: and embrace technologies that China controls.

142
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 2: They must, they're at Communist party headquarters. Parties just throw

143
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: back their heads and laughter sometimes at.

144
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: The things they're able to pull up.

145
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: Hey, guess what I bought another one hundred acres next

146
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: to a military base?

147
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: You did, yeah, right next to it? Or did you

148
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: claim to be? I just said who I was? Yeah,

149
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: they just let you.

150
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: Or this we're financing that giant rally. You's on TV

151
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: the other day where they're saying, you know, down.

152
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: With fossil fuels.

153
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: We paid for that, And then the hippies push for

154
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 2: all these programs that then we sell them the stuff.

155
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. Their largest state, California, has given up producing the safest, cleanest,

156
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: best policies for workers oil that is produced anywhere on Earth,

157
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: and instead has instead outsourced it to despicable regimes that

158
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: don't give a crap about the environment or their workers.

159
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: That's enlightened California. And when they're not doing that, they're

160
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: doubling down on technologies that we control and can get them.

161
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: We can threaten to choke that stuff off, and Donald

162
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: Trump will let Nvidia sell their most advanced chips or

163
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: damn near to the Chinese Communist Party because we've gotten

164
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: them to buy the green energy scam. We are a

165
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: stupid people, all right. See, certainly our leaders are. That's

166
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: your look inside the China cabinet up, sir.

167
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: You know there's a decent I was about to say

168
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 2: there's a decent chance. There's not.

169
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: There is a chance you drop dead today. Do you

170
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,800

180
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: and legal fees and court battles and the government involved

181
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: in your stuff. Don't do that. Get yourself an estate

191
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: clarified her sexuality. Finally.

192
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: I don't know who that is, so I just thought

193
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: that was a funny headline. She's an actress of some sort.

194
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: She has clarified her sexuality for anybody who was wondering.

195
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: Having come out as a lesbian a year ago, she

196
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: now says she could be attracted to anyone or anything,

197
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: any anything, a bowl of soup, a dog, a door knob, anyway.

198
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: Surely you have limits.

199
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: I find headlines like that funny.

200
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: Are we starting to talk like chat bots?

201
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: Doubt it, but it's kind of an interesting thought among

202
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: other things we have on the way.

203
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: Stay here, verdict, we the jury find that Finnit guilty

204
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 3: as to all six countil deep dell of indictment.

205
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 4: I'm chureful you please hand us to its council couldn't

206
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 4: pass it over to I say not sorry, we the

207
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 4: jury find that Finnan not guilty on all six counts.

208
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 4: I apologize for my mispreciation.

209
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,119
Speaker 2: No, that's not a mispronunciation. That's that's declaring the opposite

210
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: of the result. It was just one word off. You're quibbling.

211
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the defendant fell over of a heart attack. Oh yeah, Oh,

212
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

213
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,479
Speaker 2: Did I say guilty? I meant not guilty?

214
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: What? Wow? And the laughing at the end of it, Yeah,

215
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: rubbed me the wrong way.

216
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

217
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: I think it's the laughter of people who are horrified.

218
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: Do you marry the bride? No, not a chance. I

219
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: mean I mean yes, I do.

220
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm sorry I misspoke. Well better that direction than

221
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: the other one, though, I find you not guilty. You

222
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: can go free and embrace your family. Oh what's that? No,

223
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: I'm sorry guilty. No, you're in jail for the rest

224
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: of your life, Fanny. Sorry, but sorry for mispronouncing that.

225
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: Again. I don't know if I buy this story in

226
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: the Washington Post today. It's happening. People are starting to

227
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: talk like talk like chat GPT. Actually I don't believe

228
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: this at all, and I use chat GPT, probably more

229
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: than the average person. It says, here, if you use

230
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: chat GPT, claude, Gemini or other AI powered chat bots,

231
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: So claude which one's claude that it's a big one.

232
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: I can't remember whose that is, but I always it's

233
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: always on the line. I need to try that. I try,

234
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: I try chat GPT, and I do grow, but I

235
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: haven't done the other ones anyway, It says, you're probably

236
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: I'm operating under the assumption that you're both speaking the

237
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: same language. You input English, it outputs English, except that's

238
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: a misconception. You've actually been speaking different languages. I find

239
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: this fascinating. Rather than processing text like a human, the

240
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: chatbot turns your prompt into an embedding, a group of

241
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: numbers represented in a vector space, kind of like coordinates

242
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: on a map. But just as a map is a

243
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: representation of representation of territory, this embedding is a flattened

244
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: representation of language.

245
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: The chatbot then formulates a reply.

246
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: Making a word by word prediction based on how it

247
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: was trained to answer past inputs. It sounds like it's

248
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: thinking and talking, but it's not. So this prediction chat

249
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: the chatbot is making draws on biased training data, the

250
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: specific texts it learns from biased reinforcement learning, the feedback

251
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: it receives. Ultimately, what looks like English to you is

252
00:15:55,160 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: really just you know, trying to take human speech and

253
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: make it sound real. But it's using the predictions based

254
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: on all the inputs that can be flawed, which we

255
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: all need to recognize, like immediately, I think it's too

256
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 2: late already. But the examples they give in here about

257
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: how we're starting to talk like chat GPT, which again

258
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: I don't think is happening. Chat GPT uses the word

259
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: delve at higher rates than people use when writing or

260
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: speaking English, according to a study.

261
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: And well we should examine, come a further study, come

262
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: a look more into that. But now people.

263
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: Are starting to use it more often, according to this

264
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: researcher in articles and speech, because chat GPT used it

265
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: more often. So it's pushing the way we talk more

266
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: towards the way it talks. And the checkers say that

267
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: delve has become more common in speech since chat GPT launched,

268
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: and delve is just one example of words that he uses.

269
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: Do you buy that at all? I just don't buy

270
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: this at all.

271
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I read the same piece, and it

272
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: says that part of it is that the people who

273
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: look over these systems that are like the employees of

274
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: the large language model companies, are often low wage workers

275
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: from like Nigerian Kenya, where delve is used at a

276
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: higher rate than in American or British English. I don't know.

277
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't think how intricate, commendable and meticulous. But I

278
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: don't think I've.

279
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: Picked up any sayings or words from the chatbots that

280
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: I just find that impossible to believe. I do think

281
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: that we all need to recognize that it's all about

282
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 2: it predicts the next word based on all the inputs

283
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: it's been getting from all these different sources, and it's

284
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 2: not actually thinking, right but right, you know, especially if

285
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: you're using the audio one. It sounds like a person

286
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: and it calls me buddy, so.

287
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: Well, and if it predicts the answer that I'm looking for, great, right,

288
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: all right, it's not thinking. It's not intelligence at all.

289
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: It's just a glorified madlib. I'm going to get very

290
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: angry next segment, so stay tuned.

291
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.

292
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: Tragedy on a Florida Turnpike.

293
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 5: Terrifying video shows an illegal immigrant from India, a truck

294
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 5: driver allegedly making a reckless U turn that caused a crash,

295
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 5: killing three people. That driver now facing potential deportation.

296
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: So that's sort He got a fair amount of attention

297
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: over the weekend early in the week, but as more

298
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: details come forward on this illegal who had a commercial

299
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 2: truck driving license, it gets more outrageous. Here's another report

300
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: from Fox News.

301
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 6: Following the wreck, investigators with the US DOT gave sing

302
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 6: an English language proficiency test. According to a DOT press release,

303
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 6: the driver failed the assessment, providing correct responses to just

304
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 6: two of twelve verbal questions and only accurately identifying one

305
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 6: of four highway traffic signs. Because Singh, who entered the

306
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 6: US from Mexico in twenty eighteen, is an asylum seeker

307
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 6: from India, the DOT says Washington State violated federal guidelines

308
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 6: by issuing him a full term commercial driver's license in

309
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three, and they believe New Mexico State police

310
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 6: may have failed to assess his English skills during a

311
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 6: roadside inspection. Additionally, the DOT says it's investigating whether California

312
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 6: acted within federal guidelines when it issued sing a limited

313
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 6: term CDL in twenty twenty four.

314
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: So he had three states that pride themselves on being

315
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: up with illegals and sanctuaries and all that sort of

316
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: stuff that helped this guy have a commercial driver's license

317
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: be behind the wheel of a giant semi truck when

318
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: he can't not only can he not read or speak English,

319
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: but he can't even identify me. Because traffic signs are

320
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: shapes and colors that you don't even need to be

321
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 2: able to read that they're usually pictures. He couldn't identify those.

322
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: He couldn't. He got one out of four.

323
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 2: There are no standards, no, no yet. Well clearly, yeah,

324
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: just pretty much anybody who could fog a mirror, who

325
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 2: wanted to drive a semi truck could in California, Washington,

326
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: and then you could hang onto your license in New Mexico.

327
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: Let's hear from the Attorney General of Florida as he's

328
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: been The crash happened in Florida, so they've been looking

329
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 2: into this guy's background.

330
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a horrific situation.

331
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 7: California should not have provided this person the driver's license

332
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 7: and a permit not just for a car, but to

333
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 7: drive large scale trucks to then drive into Florida, engage

334
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 7: in this dangerous behavior and take the lives of three

335
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 7: others as really a tragedy. We're not going to deport

336
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 7: or let this guy out of our sights until we

337
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 7: have convicted him and ensured that he is behind bars

338
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 7: for as long as possible, likely the rest of his

339
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 7: life life. Only then will we hand him over to

340
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 7: Ice for deportation. But he's going to serve his time.

341
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, whatever the penalty is for killing

342
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: those people the way he did is you know, that's

343
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: that part of the story. But the important part of

344
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: the story for us, obviously is what what the hell

345
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: is the ideology behind we're going to give illegals licenses

346
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: to drive semi trucks without them having the skills.

347
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what is that ideology? What do you think

348
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: you're accomplishing. I just think it's the sanctuary ideology, which

349
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: is insane and just counter to all, you know, reasonableness.

350
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: We're just going to ignore laws and let people into

351
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: the country of willy nilly combined with desperate need for truckers.

352
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: I think Gavy Knewsome probably had you know, various companies

353
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: saying look, we really need guys. You got to just

354
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: let these people get their licenses. I got this note

355
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: from Aleen anonymous.

356
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: Well, and then he got the whole problem. We need

357
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 2: guys at the wage we're willing to pay because there

358
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: are legals we're willing to hire, which drives down wages.

359
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: So you wouldn't be hiring people who can speak English

360
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: and read traffic signs.

361
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I wasn't defending it by any stretch, but

362
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: that's an excellent point. Got this note from Alien Anymous

363
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: worked on the Santa Rosa, California wildfire cleanup. Talked to

364
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of truckers, and these guys are haul and

365
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: logs on mountain roads, and they said the young drivers frequently.

366
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: They all had stories about the dangers of the young

367
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: truck drivers on these mountain roads because they're bad. And

368
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: they said the young drivers frequently spoke little to no

369
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: English and had limited to no training. That's crazy. Yeah,

370
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: And this is just this one, you know, unintentionally murderous

371
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: jackass in Florida.

372
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: This reminds me of the homeless situation. And we talk

373
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 2: about a lot where like homest people can do all

374
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 2: kinds of things that you can't do They can have

375
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: an open container in the park, you can't. They can

376
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: let their dogs run around off leash, you can't. You

377
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: need to have your dog on leash and then show

378
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: your you know that, make sure your dog is registered

379
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: or you're gonna get a ticket.

380
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: Sure. And it's the same with like, if you're.

381
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 2: A citizen following the law, you have to do all

382
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: kinds of things to get this license or that license,

383
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: and if you get caught without it, you're gonna be

384
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 2: in all kinds of trouble.

385
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: But if you're illegal, everything goes. You can do anything

386
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: you want.

387
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an insane way nutty way to craft society.

388
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: And it's yet another example of and we've talked about this.

389
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: I think it was our two of the show, The

390
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: Democratic Party is hemorrhaging voters. The New York Times with

391
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: a big couple of features today on how people are

392
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: leaving the Democratic Party in drove in droves, and part

393
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: of that is what we've been talking about lately, the

394
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: preference cascade, where people are realizing, Yeah, I thought all

395
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: this stuff was crazy, but nobody was saying anything, so

396
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: I thought maybe I was the crazy one, but no,

397
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have people sneaking into the country and driving

398
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: trucks without any sort of training. That's insane. And so

399
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: I think those who promote and defend these policies, which

400
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: are insane, are increasingly isolated, and thank goodness for it.

401
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out because I haven't seen this

402
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: story anywhere but Fox and the New York Post?

403
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 5: Have you.

404
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: Not that I recall.

405
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 2: So that's part of the problem is that sure, people

406
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 2: who already think the sanctuary thing is ridiculous, people who

407
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: watch Fox and read the New York Post, Uh, you

408
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 2: don't need to convince them. And then the rest of

409
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: the country won't hear the story because it's not convenient,

410
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 2: or it will seem race science or something right.

411
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: And you know, there are a couple other stories that

412
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: are fairly similar to the Denver Gang investigation nine month

413
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: operation targeting Trendy ar Agua. These guys are involved in

414
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: drugs and human trafficking and murder for hire and all

415
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: sorts of different stuff, and the progressive powers that be

416
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: was it?

417
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 5: J D. E.

418
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: Vance was talking to Martha Raddits was it about this

419
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: apartment complex being taken over? And what she says something

420
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: the effective, Well, it's just one apartment complex taken over

421
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: by a dangerous foreign gang. You got. The mayor of

422
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: Boston yesterday was out and proud talking about, you know,

423
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: how how proud they are to be a sanctuary city

424
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: and they're not changing a damn thing. And I guess

425
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: she's got good poll numbers on that in Boston. But man,

426
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: that philosophy is people are fleeing from it because it's nuts.

427
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: How can you have truck drivers who don't speak a

428
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 2: word of English? How does that work with in the

429
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: way stations and loading and unloading and everything else. You

430
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: have to have people you're less than fifty to fifty

431
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 2: on knowing what road signs are. So Gavin Newsom's pushback

432
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 2: was that this guy had obtained a work work permit

433
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: while Trump was president. Okay, well, when or where or

434
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: if he got a work permit is not as important

435
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 2: to me as how the hell did you give him

436
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 2: a commercial driver's license when he can't read the signs?

437
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 1: Well, and then the Trump administration shot back, no, we didn't.

438
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: We turned him down. He got it the next year

439
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: when Biden was in office. So nice, ploy Gavy.

440
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 2: So he got three sanctuary states New Mexico, California, Washington

441
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: involved in this story. That is just the most insane policy.

442
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can think of one that

443
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: could beat that. The whole sanctuary thing is flat crazy.

444
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: Of course, I also don't understand how our system hasn't

445
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: taken care of this yet, how it hasn't reached the

446
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: Supreme Court in some version where they finally shut it

447
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: down and say no, the sanctuary thing is, that's not

448
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: a thing.

449
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: You can't do that, just like you can't do it

450
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: with gun laws or anything else. Well, ending our roundup

451
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: of progressive states, Oregon is just proudly announced it's thirty

452
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: seventh LAFT suit of the Trump administration this week. They've

453
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: already filed thirty six. They added a thirty seventh. Now

454
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: it's nearly six times as many as the state filed

455
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: during his first year of his initial term of twenty seventeen.

456
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: Let's see. This one would challenge its threat to hold

457
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: withhold federal funds to support victims and survivors of crime

458
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: from states that refuse to assist with federal immigration enforcement efforts.

459
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: Ah okay, so if you're a sanctuary state, you don't

460
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: get crime money.

461
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: Keep riding that Democratic Party, keep fighting the good fight.

462
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: Thirty seven lawsuits, that's plenty.

463
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 2: As such a frustrating story. And you know, I don't

464
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 2: even have a imagine the relatives of the family killed

465
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 2: in the mini van when this guy made his I

466
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 2: legal return. You're telling me that guy that great big

467
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: semi truck can't read road signs, and he's here illegally.

468
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: And two different states give him licenses, and.

469
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: Then when he gets caught in another state and they

470
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 2: find out, wait a second, you got a license.

471
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: With the kind of license you got, you need to

472
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: be able to read.

473
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: English, and you can't.

474
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: They didn't do anything well, and you know, not to

475
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: turn everybody bitter and angry, but this really it's even

476
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: more insidious than it seems, because the rest of us

477
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: are told, but you have to follow the law, and

478
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: you have to pay your taxes, and we will bust

479
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: you or find you, or take away your business license

480
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: or whatever if we find you in the slightest violation

481
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: of our zillions of different rules. But these people know

482
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: it's fine. They can do whatever they want. It makes

483
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: people cynical and angry.

484
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: Before we take a break, I finally have my sailing

485
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: lessons this weekend.

486
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: Oh good, A.

487
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: Phrase I never thought I would say. It is a tiny,

488
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 2: little man made lake in my neighborhood with these little,

489
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: tiny sailboats, and I'm probably gonna be out there with children.

490
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

491
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: I don't know who else is going to be taking lessons.

492
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be.

493
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: Pretty funny, though.

494
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kind of jealous. Though I've never really sailed.

495
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: I have a friend who's been crazy into it since

496
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: he was a kid. Now his kids do it.

497
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: I don't know that I'll be able to say that

498
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 2: I have sailed even after I've take these lessons. I mean,

499
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: I suppose I can say it, but I get a certificate.

500
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 2: It's two hours on Saturday from noon to two, and

501
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: then two hours on Sunday from noon to two, and

502
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 2: then I get a certificate, and I don't know what

503
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: the certificates is going to say or what it qualifies.

504
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: So the state of California to get you a commercial

505
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: boat captain's license.

506
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: Probably I can probably drive one of those great big

507
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 2: tankers to China full of cargo containers.

508
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: Or a ferry with hundreds of souls aboard around San

509
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: Francisco Bay, for instance. But as I've said.

510
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't even taken the ridiculously short four

511
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: hour course on the tiny little sailboat and made lake yet,

512
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: but I've already started shopping for sailboats. I got my plans.

513
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm going big, of course I am. That's

514
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: the way you gotta do, right, got to get the

515
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: captain's hat. Well, you got to get the outfit. Of course,

516
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: I have to get the outfit. But then you know,

517
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: I'll be sailing around the world.

518
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: Say yeah, NonStop to Tokyo, you know something like that.

519
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: My biggest problem with the idea of actual boating is

520
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: I get see six so damn easy at this point

521
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: in my life. Motion sickness. Oh try uh dramamine or

522
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: something like that.

523
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: Boning, go with boning. Boning is better than boning. Yeah,

524
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: it makes you less drowsy. So we've been the Getty household.

525
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: We've sworn by it for years and years and years.

526
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: Many a whale watch and other aquatic voyage boning.

527
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 2: Yep, and you've never chundered.

528
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: Uh no, no. In fact, I took it a little

529
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: late for one whale watching trip with the kids years

530
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: and years ago, and we started out on some really

531
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: choppy seas, and I felt some nausea coming on strong,

532
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: and then the drug kicked in and it was like, nope,

533
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: you're fine. Oh wow, Yeah.

534
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: I read, I read. I read a whole bunch of

535
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: books about sailing around the world because I was obsessed

536
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: with it for a while. And uh. In one of

537
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 2: the books, this father and son they sailed around the

538
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: world just to them, which would be a really cool activity,

539
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: but they would talk about how when they would set

540
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: off from any port, it'd be several days of vomiting

541
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: before they got their sea legs as they call it,

542
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 2: and your body adjusts to it, and then the vomitings

543
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: are I can't imagine doing a couple of days of

544
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: leaning over the railing vomiting until your body adjusts.

545
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: That sounds I just don't can't imagine doing that, trying

546
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: to stay hydrated and everything. Is that what people really

547
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: did prior to boning coming on the market. Probably that's

548
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: what getting your sea legs means.

549
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 2: If you didn't know that, you just you throw up

550
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 2: until your body decides, Okay, I guess this is what

551
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: we're doing. It gives up.

552
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: Got that sounds horrific.

553
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: Wow, Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes. On Monday.

554
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna really talk a lot about you know, we

555
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: men of the sea.

556
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: So you'll be here. How about that one? I'm expecting

557
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: you like Churchill rum sodomy in the lash. That's what

558
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: keeps order above a board years sail boat.

559
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 2: My parents supposed to get here. I overnighted it from Amazon.

560
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: My parent's supposed to get here on Friday afternoon. So

561
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: have that on my shoulder. That will be a good start.

562
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: Mail order parrots.

563
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: More on the way.

564
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 2: Stay here, you're trustpassing.

565
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: We gotta leave now. Number one, you're not gonna arrest us.

566
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 3: Number two, we gotta go.

567
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm an aging. I'm an aging. Good for you.

568
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 2: Let's go.

569
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: Put your hands off. I'm a ag.

570
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 2: What's going on there?

571
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's a couple of drunk hot chicks,

572
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: one of whom is a special Assistant Attorney General in

573
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: the State of Rhode Island, at a restaurant that they

574
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: were asked to leave and they wouldn't and were mouthy

575
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: and and loud? How how how how honorably abusive?

576
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: How annoying do you have to be as hot chicks

577
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 2: to get kicked out of a restaurant because you're drunk pretty.

578
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: Damn and so the cops you can hear them. Look,

579
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: you gotta go all right now, you can't. You can't

580
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: arrest me. I'm an ag. And at one point, the

581
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: one chick says, uh, I want you to turn your

582
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: body cam off. Protocol is that you turn it off.

583
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: It's a citizen request that you turn it off. A

584
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: thing there. And you know what's funny is a great

585
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: deal is being made of her being or any an

586
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 1: AG or assistant AG or whatever she was. But it's drunk,

587
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: mouthy hot chicks who don't like being told what to do.

588
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: You gonna regret this. I'm an ag.

589
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 2: God, I'm glad I never did that. I think it's

590
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: got to be in your personality. Though I would never

591
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: it's just so not.

592
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: What I would do. And I like, Michael, run that

593
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: again real quickly because I want to draw attention to

594
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: my favorite exchange.

595
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 6: Your trustpassor we gotta leave now.

596
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 1: You go ahead, turn it off. You're trespassing. You need

597
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: to leave. You haven't noticified us that you were trespassing.

598
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: What did I just say to you? Shut your pie hole,

599
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: you mouthy wench.

600
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 2: So I want to get these uh this story on

601
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 2: while we're still on in uh Los.

602
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: Angeles and'sah And then of course you tried to kick

603
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: out the police car at least cart door while she

604
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: was inside the which is a great way to prove

605
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: that you were not in this sort of person that

606
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: needs to be arrested. Right, You're not the a hole

607
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: in this situation.

608
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: You're not out of control. I'll show you how not

609
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 2: out of control I am by kicking the windows out

610
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 2: of the car. I want to get this story on

611
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: for all of our California stations or the rest of

612
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 2: the country who might ever think about being like California,

613
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 2: Please don't. This is from the executive chairman of bed

614
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 2: Bath and Beyond put out a statement we are not

615
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 2: going to open or operate retail stores in California. This

616
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: is from bed Bath and Beyond. They have bed Bath beyonds.

617
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 2: Are they going to close them? Or I don't quite

618
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 2: get that. I guess some new ones. The decision isn't

619
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: about politics, it's about reality. California has created one of

620
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: the most overregulated, expensive and risky environments for businesses in America.

621
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: It's a system that makes it harder to employ people,

622
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 2: harder to keep doors open, and harder to deliver value

623
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,320
