We 39 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: can't get to all of it. But I love this. 40 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 2: I'm gonna hit you with part of it and then 41 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: we'll move on. We got a bunch of stuff. 42 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 4: But this is written by a guy named Jeff Goldstein, 43 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 4: who is a writer I really like, and he has 44 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 4: this redeclaration of independence, and you'll know what he's driving 45 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 4: at immediately. Be it so understood. This is my vow 46 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 4: for the new year too.

I refuse to grant determined interpretive communities 50 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: authority over my being, my meaning is mine. It's what 51 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: makes me me. 52 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 4: I'm not taking any journey to discover the impact of 53 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 4: my privilege on black and brown people. I will not 54 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 4: become anti racist or anti fascist to satisfy your demands. 55 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 4: I reject cultural Marxism. I am an individual. I'm not 56 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 4: divined by my color, my lorige, and my sex. I'm 57 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 4: jeff good to meet you. I will not respect your 58 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 4: pronouns or celebrate your queerness. I am hostile to your 59 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 4: sexualization of children. I reject your triggers and your desire 60 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 4: to control my speech. 61 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: I know who and what you are. 62 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 4: You are my presumptive master, or else the useful idiot 63 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 4: who empowers him. But I will grant you and your 64 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 4: ideology no power over me. There's more you want to 65 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 4: hear a little more sure. I reject equity because it 66 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 4: is collectivism disguised as virtue. I reject inclusivity because it 67 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 4: is inorganic, superficial, and contrived. 68 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: I reject mandated diversity. 69 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 4: I will not surrender to the crayon box mafia, nor 70 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 4: do the gender changelings who pretend I am construct answerable 71 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 4: to the whims. 72 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: Cultural appropriation is merely culture. 73 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 4: It expands to include and it makes up the very 74 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 4: fabric of a pluralistic society. No such thing as digital blackface. 75 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 4: My whiteness is not violent, my sex is not oppressive. 76 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 4: My religion doesn't concern you, and my children are not 77 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 4: yours to mold. 78 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 2: Your beliefs will not be imposed on me. 79 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 4: The state will not parent my Sonsy Yes. 80 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 2: Digital blackface, I'd forgotten that term. 81 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and again if you've lost a thread, This 82 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 4: is a re declaration of independence. 83 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 2: Queer theory is critical. Race theory is critical. 84 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 4: Consciousness is the Marxist rejection of the individual as individual. 85 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 4: I have some stats on how many states queer theory 86 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 4: is being taught in schools to little children as truth 87 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 4: and is as shocking. Well, one more time. Queer theory 88 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 4: is critical. Race theory is critical. Consciousness is the Marxist 89 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 4: rejection of the individual as individual. Cultural Marxism is determined 90 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 4: to raise norms so chaos, tear families asunder, and reduce 91 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 4: being to collective conformity. I reject its premises is fully 92 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 4: as I reject its adherents. I will not comply. I 93 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 4: will not mouth your slogans. I will not denounce on command. 94 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 4: I am not your tool and you are not my minder, 95 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 4: and he has a little more about my speech is 96 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 4: my own. I reject each of your excuses to silence me. 97 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 4: I don't ask for your protections. I can filter information 98 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 4: without your interference, Mark Zuckerberg, and I despise your presumption 99 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 4: to protect me from myself. I am your sworn enemy, 100 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 4: and you are mine. I will not perform for you. 101 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 4: I will not read from your script or dancing your follies. 102 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 4: Oh my brother, we'll post this at armstrong igedti dot com. 103 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 2: It is brilliant and he goes on. But that's the main. 104 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: Party, and it fits in with that Wall Street Journal 105 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: article I was reading from last hour. The progressive moment 106 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: in global politics is over. That moment existed mostly online 107 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: and with the high level university set. It was a 108 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: much smaller group than we all fought were feared, thank god. 109 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: But it was. 110 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: Misleading because it was so prevalent in TV, newspapers and 111 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: Twitter in places like that. But it was not near 112 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: as big as we all thought. And the best thing 113 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: that could happen to people that are on the right 114 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: side of that, and you could be a lifelong Democrat 115 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: and be to the right of all that stuff by 116 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: a law shirt like Bill Maherr and lots of people. 117 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: The best thing that could happen for us is if 118 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: they continue to believe that they have the numbers they 119 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: think they have as opposed to the tiny fraction that 120 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: actually agrees with them. 121 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: Right. I'm reminded of something great you've brought to us. 122 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 4: I think it was last year about how it only 123 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 4: takes fifteen percent of a population that's dedicated to a 124 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 4: revolution to make it successful. Because you want to give 125 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 4: us the nickel version of that. 126 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to have the fifteen percent really really 127 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: active group that wants to overthrow the current regime. But 128 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: you get a big enough chunk of people who mostly 129 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: agree with you. They're not going to really do much, 130 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: but they're not going to get in the way. And 131 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: then you have the crowd that's scared of you, and 132 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: you can easily get over fifty percent. 133 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 4: Right, right, And that's how you went. And imagine if 134 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 4: you were in that hardcore fifteen percent that wanted to, 135 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 4: I don't know, for the sake of the argument overthrow 136 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 4: Western society in the name of neo Marxism. Imagine if 137 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: your first step was to capture media and education. I mean, 138 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 4: that would be an enormous coupe because you could, and 139 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 4: I'm stating the obvious here, you could project the idea 140 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 4: that you have way way more mass than you do 141 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 4: for your radical ideas like radical gender theory, which I will. 142 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: Give you a clue. 143 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 4: It's like over a third of American states are teaching 144 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 4: radical gender theory. There's no such thing as a man 145 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 4: or a woman. You get to choose to little kids 146 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 4: in schools. So man, these scumbags, And I'm sorry for 147 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 4: the for the you know, I'm a wardsmith. I can 148 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 4: do better than that. I apologize these monsters. At least 149 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 4: it's more adult. The fact that these monsters have gotten 150 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 4: as far as they have is really really troubling. But 151 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 4: you know, on we go with the fight Trudeau resigning 152 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 4: in Canada is a lot of what sparked, For instance, 153 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 4: the Ulstreet Journal article one on the list of Western 154 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 4: leaders or parties that have really suffered defeats, trying to 155 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 4: ride the whole pronouns LATINEX, you should be ashamed of 156 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 4: yourself for being a white male thang. 157 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, he was huge into that. 158 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 4: And what's really troubling about this, and we've had a 159 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 4: bunch of conversations as you got to year. Well, just 160 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 4: you keep calling it fifteen percent for the sake of 161 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 4: the argument, you get your hardcore fifteen percent that are activists. Well, 162 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 4: the genius of neo Marxism developed in the intellectual salons 163 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 4: of Europe in the forties and fifties, nineteen forties and 164 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 4: nineteen fifties. They wrote books, they signed their name, they 165 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 4: told us precisely what they wanted to do. The genius 166 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 4: of it is they have crafted, and it's an evil genius, 167 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 4: these moral sounding arguments that convince a certain sort of 168 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 4: person that they are doing the right thing morally by 169 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 4: becoming an adherent to Neo Marxism. And it's particularly effective 170 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 4: among women who want to seek agreement and groups and 171 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 4: acceptance of that sort of thing. And it's particularly successful 172 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 4: among your university crowd who want to be on the 173 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 4: cutting edge of thought. That's how they gratify their egos 174 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,479 Speaker 4: by being the innovator, the new person, the revolutionary. It's 175 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 4: incredibly I mean, they take practically sexual glee for being 176 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 4: innovators in the universities, because how are you going to 177 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 4: justify your big salary if you in any level of education, 178 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 4: say you know that stuff we've been doing, it's perfect. 179 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 4: I wouldn't change it at all. Sure you've wasted your PhD. 180 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 4: So anyway, man, you have heard a lot of gunsh uns. 181 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 4: If your reaction to a gun shot in a room 182 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 4: is this. 183 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 3: And choices we got in life? Those were your choices? 184 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: Who? 185 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 2: Who could be calmer than that shot? Who did somebody 186 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 2: get shot? 187 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 5: Huh what? 188 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: It would be the. 189 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: Most amazing thing that ever happened in my life if 190 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: a gun went off in a room. 191 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: We're sitting there interviewing, I don't know. 192 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 4: Rich Lowry from the National Review of rich says who 193 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 4: shot who? 194 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: Who? 195 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 2: Somebody gets shot? And choices we got in life? Those 196 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 2: were your choices? 197 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: Who? 198 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 4: It actually pretty interesting conversation before you know, the gun 199 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 4: went on. So the other thing I wanted to squeeze 200 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 4: in a couple more kind of wrapping up the year, 201 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 4: looking forward to the year things, because I I'll rant 202 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 4: and rave about the previous story. 203 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 2: For the rest of my life. 204 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 4: But uh, Jan Crawford was on CBS's face the Nation Sunday. 205 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 4: I saw that, and she brought the thunder that the 206 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 4: most uncovered and underreported topic last year was clearly she said, 207 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 4: quote that to me, Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline, they 208 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 4: became undeniable in the televised debate, unquestioned that that's the 209 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 4: most underreported story of the year. 210 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely true, but will be lost to history. 211 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: It's amazing that there isn't more introspection over that. 212 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,119 Speaker 4: Well, here's the really interesting part, she says, still incredibly, 213 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 4: we read in the Washington Post that his advisers are 214 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 4: saying that he regrets that he dropped out of the race, 215 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 4: that he thinks he could have beaten Trump. And I 216 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 4: think that is either delusional or the gaslighting the American people. 217 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: But CBS's chief Election. 218 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 4: And campaign correspondent Robert Costa jumped up and said, well, 219 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 4: President Biden has repeatedly said he was sick during the 220 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 4: debate in Atlanta, and he's always been fine, and he 221 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 4: leaves fine. That is his position, the position of many 222 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 4: of his top stadents as well, is even though there 223 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 4: is that reporting that Jan was talking to reduce the obvious, 224 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 4: accepted by everyone reality of Joe Biden's cogg Gold decline, 225 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 4: as there is that reporting, but he has now Jan 226 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 4: he has said repeatedly ad a cold Costa's lost to me, 227 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 4: he's he's lost his mind. 228 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: I don't know who that's for. Eighty five percent of 229 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: America before that debate thought he shouldn't serve again. So 230 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: I don't know who you're serving with that, But enjoy 231 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: your bubble bob. Why haven't I invested in an Invidios stock? 232 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because I can't say it pronounce it correctly. 233 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: It was fine. They made a big announcement. Today's jumping again. 234 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: Damn it, damn it late. 235 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: Don't get in now.

The only thing that slowed me 257 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: down is they don't remember to download the app, and 258 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta download the app and put in 259 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: a credit card and blah blah blah that sort of stuff. 260 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: As soon as I remember to do that, I will 261 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: ride one of those Waymouth cars. They're all over the place. 262 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: Say look really cool, And every once in a while 263 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: you have a story like this where a guy is 264 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: trapped inside and it's going in circles? 265 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: Are they they? 266 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: You know, they come to something in the road and 267 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: they don't know what to do, But they're driving constantly 268 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: all over the city, so most of the time it 269 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: must work pretty well. 270 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, And they're expanding to I can't remember. I'm trying 271 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 4: to find the article in front of me. It's a 272 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 4: bunch of different cities in Texas and that sort of thing. 273 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 4: This is the year that not nationwise certainly, but in 274 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 4: spots across the country, the self driving cab becomes a reality. 275 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that leads me into this story. What is 276 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: the most valuable company in the world. If you're in 277 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: stocks at all, you probably know that it's Nvidia, Nvdia. 278 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: They need another vowel in there. It's surprising that they've 279 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: been as successful as they have. Three and a half 280 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: trillion dollars, outstrips the previous number one, which had been 281 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: for decades, Apple by a lot. And it's ninety percent 282 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: of their businesses these computer chips, well the consumer some 283 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: were An electronic show in Las Vegas is going on 284 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: right now.

But anyway, the guy that runs in Vidia, 290 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: Jensen Wang. 291 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: Is that how you say his name? I don't know. 292 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: I should know, since he's one of the most powerful 293 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: people in the world. Unveiled their next family of gaming 294 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: chips that he says, is going to make robotics technology 295 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: just explode. These new chips are twice as fast as 296 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: the previous chips, not a marginal increase, ten percent faster, 297 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: twenty percent, fifty percent, twice as fast, wow, as the 298 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: previous chips. 299 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 2: And what it's going to do about Yeah. 300 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: And he says that in the next couple years, robots 301 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: will be training robots, because that's one of the things 302 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: that's really slowing things down is having people have to 303 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: program all these robots one at a time and it's 304 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: just a laboring ten some slow et cetera. 305 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 2: Robots. 306 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 4: So you say goodbye to your internal organs, as they'll 307 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 4: be ripping them out when they come for you. 308 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: I don't know why they would come and rip out 309 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: my internal organs, but you're a fool. 310 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 2: But I guess that's the real hold up. 311 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: So when the robots can train the robots, then you'll 312 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: have just an exponential doubling every time explosion of robots everywhere. 313 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: We'll see how that goes. Wow. 314 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 4: But gaming robots, I mean, that's that's what I need 315 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 4: to I would like a robot sparring partner, because you 316 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 4: know how much I love to box.

More specifically, we're going to get rid of 354 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 6: fact checkers and replace them with community notes similar to 355 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 6: X starting in the US. 356 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 4: If you're making big changes, does that mean you were 357 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 4: doing something wrong before? 358 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: Look, this is a great opportunity for us to reset 359 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 2: the balance in favor of free expression. As Mark says 360 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: in that video, what we're doing today is we're getting 361 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 2: back to our roots and free expression. 362 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: That is pretty damned interesting. I think it's really good news. 363 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: But it's first of all, it's interesting that He's okay 364 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: with flat out saying in his announcement, We're going to 365 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: do it like Twitter's doing it. 366 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, just basically Elon's right and I was wrong. 367 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 4: I think it's at least my interesting that that second 368 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 4: voice you heard was Joel Kaplan, who's this spokeshole for 369 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 4: Meta as opposed to Mark Zuckerberg, because in a very 370 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 4: politician y way, he refused to acknowledge any mistake. 371 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 2: You just well, who are going to get back to 372 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 2: our roots of blah blah blah. 373 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 4: Because Zuckerberg has said not unfactioned friends, I think that 374 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 4: was he on tape, doesn't matter. He said it's gone 375 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 4: too far quote We've reached a point where it's just 376 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 4: too many mistakes and too much censorship. The recent elections 377 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 4: also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again 378 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 4: prioritizing speech, and he also said the fact checkers have 379 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 4: become too politically biased. 380 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg is the dumbest sounding billionaire in the world. 381 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: Now he I assume he's smarter, and I think he's 382 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: just socially awkward. Is that his problem could be just 383 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: comes off as anyway. This is unmistakably good news as 384 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: the whole fact check thing is well, it's we all 385 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: know what it is. 386 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 2: And has been for a long time. 387 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no kidding, it's it's just dressing up my opinion, man, 388 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 4: is a fact and telling you to be quiet. 389 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 2: You don't get an opinion because mine is a fact. 390 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 2: But isn't. 391 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: Wikipedia's model is basically community notes, right, And a lot 392 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: of you feel like it's not. 393 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: Well up and no, no, I would say, no, that's 394 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 2: not true. It used to be. 395 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 4: Now it is run top down by a the Wikipedia Foundation, 396 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 4: which is an extremely progressive organization, and it no longer 397 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 4: operates the way it grew up. 398 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 2: That's interesting. 399 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: I don't I never I don't Wikipedia stuff that could 400 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: be controversial very much. And I don't know if it 401 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: seeps into the stuff that I look at, you know, 402 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: like I look up Baye Brute's pitching. 403 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 2: Record, that sort of stuff. I don't know. 404 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm being misled by that sort 405 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: of stuff on Wikipedia. 406 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 2: Wikipedia. No, No, I know what you mean. 407 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 4: I will occasionally, I'll use it for something quote unquote controversial, 408 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 4: but I. 409 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 2: Know what I'm looking at. 410 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, looking at NBC News' version story, 411 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: it's pretty transparent. I feel like, yeah, yeah, but yeah, 412 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: Wikipedia has gone way left from what it was ten 413 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: years ago. 414 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 2: I've been sitting on that story for a while. Just 415 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 2: trust me, it's crazy. 416 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 4: It used to be left leaning in the way that 417 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 4: virtually anything involved people who love words and like to 418 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 4: write and talk and want to change the world, they 419 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 4: practically all lean left. So in Wikipedia was that. Now 420 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 4: it's wildly like Marxist. 421 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: So, for instance, if I didn't know much about the 422 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: October seventh massacre in Israel, and I thought a good 423 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: place to learn about it would be Wikipedia, you're saying, no, 424 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: it wouldn't. 425 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 2: Beware, gotcha. Yeah, yeah, it would probably not. 426 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 4: You know what, I might during the commercial break, actually 427 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 4: take a look at that very thing. It's an interesting 428 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 4: question speaking of the progressive end of the scale, and 429 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 4: good for Zuckerberg. I mean, it's too late, and I'm 430 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 4: sure in plenty of progressive places, I'm sorry, in conservative places, 431 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 4: he's getting a hell kicked out of him for doing 432 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 4: all the damage they did during COVID, for instance, and 433 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 4: all under pressure from the Biden administration. And now he's 434 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 4: as much as admitting, well, Trump's down now, so we're 435 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 4: gonna we're going to be a little more neutral about stuff, 436 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 4: and it is despicable on one hand. 437 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 2: On the other hand, they're doing the right thing finally, so. 438 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: Well, speaking of your social media platforms and all that 439 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: sort of stuff. Big ruling while we were off for 440 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: two weeks, they court shot down that whole rule two 441 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: thirty or section two thirty. 442 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 2: Or whatever, whatever the heck it was in nine from 443 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 2: outer space. 444 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was supposed to deal with that, and don't 445 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: I don't even remember if I was supposed to be 446 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: happy about that or sad about that. But anyway, they're 447 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: not going to change the way the relationship between the 448 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: government and those platforms. 449 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: Right right. Yeah. 450 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 4: There were a couple of cases over break that I thought, 451 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 4: you know, I probably ought to look into that, but 452 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 4: it was one of those like a mid level court 453 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 4: rejected the appeal of the rejection of the action by 454 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 4: the administration. I'm like, it's going to take me too 455 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 4: long to figure out what's going on. Let me know 456 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 4: when the final ruling comes in. Anyway, a couple of 457 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 4: things really quickly. The folks at the National Review have 458 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 4: collected a what they call the Wild Blue State Laws 459 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 4: of twenty twenty four. This is progressive state laws that 460 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 4: passed at the end of last year while everybody was 461 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 4: heading off to get drunk on eggnog and exchange gifts 462 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 4: and that sort of thing. 463 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: Or honor the birth of Jesus.

It's 513 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 4: a shout that there are people that would. 514 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: Write that sort of language knowing what they're doing. 515 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 2: Wow.

Oh well, 524 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 4: I hope the Supreme Court hits this one. In an 525 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 4: outer space. It is obscene, it is horrifying, and It 526 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 4: is a shocking just a failure of the media to 527 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 4: not be digging into how horrific this is. But they're 528 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 4: so biased they don't I don't know. We could spend 529 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 4: the entire rest of our careers talking about this. 530 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,479 Speaker 1: That's the most troubling thing I've heard this year. I 531 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: was troubled by the law, but that wording of it, yeah, 532 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: like I'm too stupid to know what you're doing, really 533 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: bothers me. 534 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. 535 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 4: I I don't know what to suggest to the folks 536 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 4: other than vote, go to school board meetings, talk to 537 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 4: your kids teachers and tell them. 538 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: Please tell me and I. 539 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 4: But if their careers are ended, or if they're prosecuted, 540 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 4: what are they going to do?

You are a dangerous human being that I. 546 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 4: Agree to that I would agree one more from California. 547 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 4: Last March, Hunting Beach, California gave the thumbs up to 548 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 4: a ballot measure that said you got to show voter 549 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 4: ID like most American states, and anybody who's a black 550 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 4: person who you tell, well, you black people, you have 551 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 4: trouble getting ideas, would say, who the hell are you 552 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 4: to insult me? 553 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 2: It's it's again. 554 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 4: It's a tiny percentage of Americans who believe voter ida 555 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 4: is somehow racist. But anyway, Huntington Beach said, no, you 556 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 4: got to show ideas. The state is suing, claiming the 557 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 4: voter ID requirement is unlawful. They are trying to prosecute 558 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 4: Huntington Beach. It's unlawful, right, oh my god, to prevent 559 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 4: anybody in California for asking for it. Illinois criminals, they said, 560 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 4: let's move on to the great state of Illinois where 561 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 4: I grew up. A part of House Bill forty nine 562 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 4: forty four oh nine, which Governor J. B. Gender Bending 563 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 4: Pritzker signed in August, a person convicted of a crime 564 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 4: who participates in an adult reab program will no longer 565 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 4: be officially referred to as an offender, but rather as 566 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 4: a justice impacted individual. 567 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 2: You gotta be kidding. 568 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 4: The terminology was ridiculed on social media, blasted by Illinois Republicans, 569 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 4: called a new terminology gift wrapped for Republicans language Orwellian 570 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 4: and gobbledegook. Noting that justice impacted individuals sounds is more 571 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 4: like a description of a crime victim than an offender. 572 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 2: No kidding, unbelievable. 573 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 4: Colorados have the waiting period for life ending drugs to 574 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 4: commit suicide, completely ignoring and this is typical of progressive policies. 575 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 4: The experience in Canada, where assisted suicide is exploded now 576 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 4: includes people who are just depressed or under financial pressure. Anyway, 577 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 4: they've cut the waiting period from fifteen days to seven. 578 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 4: Certainly a week is long enough to decide whether you're 579 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 4: going to end your life or not. Vermont has approved 580 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 4: injection sites for deadly drugs, ignoring the models of California 581 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 4: and Oregon. If it sounds good, pass it, never mind 582 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 4: that it's been proved a miserable failure. This is good. 583 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 4: Oregon has forced home care workers to pay SEIU duties. 584 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 4: That's the Service Employees' International Union, the super powerful mostly 585 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 4: West Coast union. I don't know that that's true, but 586 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 4: they're hugely powerful on the West Coast. 587 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 2: I could explain why. 588 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 4: But even though they're not members of the union, they've 589 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 4: found a way in Oregon to force them to pay 590 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 4: union dues. 591 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 2: That one's just silly. Oh, this is my favorite. 592 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 4: Minnesota Democrats took advantage of holding a rare trifect in 593 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 4: state government. They had the governor in both houses and 594 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 4: got busy trying to turn their stateue into a frozen 595 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 4: progressive parasite. They got busy. They've curbed the consumption of 596 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 4: nuisance beaver meat. Nuisance beaver's my new band, uh for 597 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 4: reasons that are not yet clear. 598 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 2: In the National Review, what is nuisance beaver meat? 599 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: Is the Oh it's okay, the beaver was a nuisance Okay, 600 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: it's not describing the meat. 601 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 2: It's describing the beaver. Okay, of a nuisance beaver might 602 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 2: be a more clear way to put that. But I 603 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 2: love this writing. 604 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 4: For reasons that are not yet clear, Twin Cities Democrats 605 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 4: added a provision to state statues barring people who killed 606 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 4: nuisance beavers on their property from then eating the dead rodents. 607 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:37,719 Speaker 4: According to a report in the Minnesota Star Tribune, Wow Wow, 608 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 4: a leader with state's Natural Resource Department department, told the 609 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 4: paper he had not yet received a solid answer about 610 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 4: the law's purpose.
