Speaker 1: room dealing with from the fowls the Armstrong and getting

Speaker 1: communications compound midwek home day and we're of the tutelage

7
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: of our general manager Trump looking at Ukraine. What's looking

8
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: at Israel? I'm looking at tariffs. I'm looking at going

9
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: after the University's trumpety Trump Trump, Yeah, good board. I

10
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: know things are moving, They're shaken. No more status quot

11
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: train the swamp. Jack's not down for it. He'd look

12
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: at him with his cynicism and his eye rolling. Is

13
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: all right? Time to take on the beast. Time to

14
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: take on the beast. Here's you with us? Are you

15
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: with the beast? Here's the most interesting thing I've heard today?

16
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: Oh good, just heard it. Long discussion on MSNBC of

17
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: all places, which if you don't watch cable news, and

18
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: good for you, you shouldn't, and neither neither do any

19
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: of your friends or anybody else. Really, So why we

20
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: still talk about it. I have no idea because nobody's

21
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: watching these shows. But anyway, MSNBC with talking about an

22
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: Atlantic article. Atlantic also left leaning publication, both highly distraught

23
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: over the amount of land China has purchased around our

24
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: military bases in the United States. Now we've talked about

25
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: this before, but the fact that MSNBC and The Atlantic

26
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: are saying, holy crap, look how much of land China

27
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: has purchased around military installations in the United States of America,

28
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: given these recent drone attacks from Israel on Iran and

29
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: Ukraine on Russia. So that leads me to believe that's

30
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: a real, real story. Not that I didn't think it

31
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: was real anyway, but it is really a real story.

32
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm interested in the ideological dynamics of that. I happened

33
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: to just be thinking about Marxism, both in the twentieth

34
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: century and today before we went on in reference to

35
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: Mom Dannie and some stuff going on in universities, and

36
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: there's one more story that we'll get to later, and

37
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: thinking about the Marxists who were just ideologically Marxists in

38
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: the twenty first in the twentieth century, and those who

39
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: were actual agents of the Soviet Union and I've got

40
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: to admit to hear the pretty far left of American

41
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: politics making noises about, hey, we've go to be on

42
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: the against these damn comedies. That's heartening in a way. Surprised,

43
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: it's beyond heartening. But that's a hell of a story. Man.

44
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: You talk about we are we're just such a we're

45
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: the big dog. We've always been the big big dog,

46
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: will always be the big dog. Whatever I mean that

47
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: just we're so that whatever you call that, and combine

48
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: that with the naivete of, look, we'll be nice to

49
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: them and they'll be nice to us, of course, because

50
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: that's how people act. How in the hell did the

51
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: United States of America allow Chinese businesses which is the

52
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party. I guess people didn't understand that at

53
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: the time in their laws. Yes, you're not allowed to

54
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: be a company that doesn't do what the Communist Party

55
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: wants you to do. So okay, so you're uh, I

56
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: was gonna use some fake Chinese name, but I'd probably

57
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: get myself into trouble. You're you're you're Bill Jones in

58
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: a Chinese name, and you're on a I don't know,

59
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: a sandwich corporation whatever you do. You bought a bunch

60
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: of land around a military base in the United States

61
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: of America and the comedy Party tells you, hey, we're

62
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: gonna put a whole bunch of containers shipping containers on

63
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: your land. You don't have an option of saying no,

64
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: you're not. What are you going to put in them?

65
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it, exactly. So we have shipping containers

66
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: full of drones around all our military installations the United

67
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: States on land China purchased long ago, and we allowed

68
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: them to do it pretty much. Okay, it's just an

69
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: agricultural company. It's an agricultural company based at Shada. It's

70
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: just agriculture. Wow. Lord wow. Joshcarborough is even talking about

71
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: we got to do something about that eminent domain or something.

72
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: But we can't. We can't let them have that land around,

73
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: no kidding, that's right, sir. What percentage of people and

74
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: or institutions are hip to the whole Michael Pillsbury on

75
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: hundred Year Marathon, the evolution and thinking about China. I

76
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: suppose a fair number are because Trump made such a

77
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: big deal of it, But there are still I guess

78
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: my point is there are still large sectors of the

79
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: American economy, especially are our business community that still think

80
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: of China ninety percent as a market and are dimly

81
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: aware that it's a hostile power bent on our overthrow,

82
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: but just dimly well, the American people are there. The

83
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: recent polling is it went from like fifteen percent to

84
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: now like ninety percent of Americans who think China is

85
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: our enemy. But in terms of business and government, I

86
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: don't know. That's a let's have a national vote right now,

87
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: that's not a thing really on these as. We don't

88
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: have propositions in America, like for instance, Couo, Unicornia. But

89
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: let's have a national proposition. Let's take back all the

90
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: land within one hundred and seventy five miles probably ought

91
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: to be five hundred miles of any military installation owned

92
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: by any Chinese entity. We'll pay for it as a people.

93
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: Then we'll sell it to some nice couple from Maine

94
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: or something like that. For some reason, it's some constitutional

95
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: let's have a vote. Anybody care about that? No, okay, sorry,

96
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: in the case of China, it doesn't matter. We're taking

97
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: the land back. Yeah, yeah, and you know the call

98
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, they'll say, yeah, kind of busy. We'll

99
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: call you back. Why don't you go ahead and we'll

100
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: let you know. Everybody agrees. So that's a troubling thing. U.

101
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: We can get into some of the details later. Here's

102
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: the second most exciting thing I've heard today. I'm sorry

103
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: before we get to that, Michael, did you just have

104
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: your head in your hands? Yeah, I'm fine, guys, I'm

105
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 1: just dealing with the cold a little bit. Okay. Oh okay,

106
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: it looks like you were despairing and I thought the

107
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: show had been that bad. No, no, no, we're good. Okay,

108
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: all right, good. Back to the second most interesting thing.

109
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: You have a cold, Michael. Oh, yeah, yeah, the wife

110
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: came home with something miserable. Blaming on the wife. Stick

111
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: in my little my little booth here. Good. I do

112
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: blame it on on the wife though. That'll make you

113
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,559
Speaker 1: feel a little better. Um, she gave you a cold,

114
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: probably out of malice.

115
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: Wow.

116
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: We've talked about this for years. The common cold, because

117
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: it is so common, is unappreciated for how miserable it

118
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: makes you feel when you're in the midst of a cold.

119
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: If you didn't know you had a cold, you'd go

120
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: to the hospital because you feel so horrible. It is

121
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: the paper cut of illnesses. It won't kill you, but

122
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: it's miserable, the paper cut of illnesses. The other story

123
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: most interesting to me today that we don't need to

124
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time on because it's obvious what

125
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: it is. But Gavin Newsom is the governor of California,

126
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: is in South Carolina meeting voters. Oh that's funny. What

127
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: the hell is going on? And as I saw one

128
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: cable news host point out, I just did some googling around,

129
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: there are no direct flights between Sacramento and Columbia, South Carolina,

130
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: so he must have put some effort in getting there.

131
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: And not only that, he was introduced by Congressman Clyburn,

132
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: the guy who got Joe Biden the nomination in two thousands.

133
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: Well he saved the Democrats winning the election, but he

134
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: introduced Gavin Lane nine said, I think this guy's got

135
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: a really good chance. So he's got Cliburn on his

136
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: side at least, so that's a pretty big deal. Run

137
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: Kevin fries In any way. But Gavin Newsom is clearly

138
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: for one thousand percent. His life every day is about

139
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: how do I get the nomination to run? Clearly Gavin,

140
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: whose administration just said, no way, will we stop letting

141
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: men compete in girls' sports in California. We're counter suing

142
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice. We're going for justice for trans

143
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: You know, you know that that's all good stuff to

144
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: throw at him. I don't think you need any of that.

145
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is drive around with your cell

146
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: phone out the window. I could do it right now,

147
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: Literally could do it right now. Hanson. You've seen it

148
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: out from over on Arden because I know you drive

149
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: that way too. What is that pile of refuse? What

150
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: is that garbage and tents and bikes? Have you seen that? Michael?

151
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: It's incredible. It's like a mountain. Now, how big is

152
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: that gonna get? Before anybody does it? Anything about it?

153
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: Right across from one of the nicer malls. With all

154
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: I think I may have designed the perfect anti Gavin

155
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: ad that will run in every market in America over

156
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: and over and over again. And it was actually a

157
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: retweet of a picture run by the fabulous folks at

158
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: the California Globe, as I recall, But it's a picture

159
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: of a bunch of junkies sprawled out amidst all their

160
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: garbage and their needles and crap on a street corner

161
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: happen to be Capitol Avenue with the state capitol in

162
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: the background. I captioned it, the California dream can be

163
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: yours all across America. Vote, Gavin Newsom, How do you

164
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: beat that?

165
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: Ad?

166
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: I could pick We're in Sacramento, the capitol of California.

167
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: I could pick a number of streets today, drive down

168
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: there with my cell phone out making video. That would

169
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: ruin his chances of being the president of the United States,

170
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: because how do you explain that? Right? Anyway? Let's start

171
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: all challenge all fall short sometimes, yeah, we do. We've

172
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: had how homelessness is come to California and we're fighting

173
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: it with innovative tools. What the hell is He's getting

174
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: the money and the programs. Nobody's more upset about this

175
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: than me. What the hell's going on? That was? That

176
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: was about? That was about homelessness. He looks we need

177
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: our local leaders to take control. What the hell's going on?

178
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: You phony, you con man, you criminal? He laughed. I laughed.

179
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe

180
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: Getty on this It is Wednesday, July night. There twenty

181
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: twenty five were armstrong and getty, and we approve of

182
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: this program. Let's begin then officially, according to FCC rules

183
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: and regulations, the show starts at mark.

184
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 3: For twenty years, the big lie was that this kind

185
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: of immigration didn't hurt working people. Now economists to come

186
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 3: out and said, oh, what a surprise. Even the laws

187
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: of supplying demand work in the low end labor market.

188
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 3: So I talk about in that editorial what I call

189
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: parallel prosperity that for years Wall Street has done well.

190
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 3: Now it's time for Main Street to do well. And

191
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: they can both do well. And that's the one big

192
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: beautiful bill. That's the beauty of this. It helps Wall

193
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 3: Street and Main Street.

194
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: All juxtaposition at Wall Street and Main Street should be illegal.

195
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: The First Amendment should be limited in that way. It's

196
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: just so trite. But finally people are saying, well, of course,

197
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: importing huge amounts of underpriced anything undermines the price of

198
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: what's in the market, including people. Of course it does.

199
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: What was the premise of that? I lost the premise

200
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: of that. The premise is for twenty years, the lie

201
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: was that immigration did not hurt working people. Rampant illegal immigration,

202
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: even though you're left. He left. He's like Bernie were

203
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: saying that all along. Yeah, interestingly enough, Yeah he was.

204
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: I just was looking at this New York Times article

205
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: about what's it called, something about, oh, can Democrats find

206
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: their way on immigration? And they talked to all sorts

207
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: of reasonable folks with reasonable pinions, and then they come

208
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: to Iana Presley, Communist representative of Massachusetts. Quote, Democrats have

209
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: to stop talking about the issue of immigration with in

210
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: a republican frame. This has nothing to do with law

211
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: and order. This is about power control, terror, and it

212
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: is about racism and xenophobia. Donald Trump wants to make

213
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: America Jim Crow again. And then some so those people,

214
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: those Congress people still exist in the Democratic Party. Okay,

215
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: we got to take a break. We got some Trump

216
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: was asked about Epstein yesterday and his two hour press

217
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: conference that he had answering every question about everything in

218
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: the world, but he got asked about Epstein and it

219
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: came up, and that's pretty entertaining. Among other things. On

220
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: the way, we got Katie's headlines next here. Don't miss

221
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: it if you missed the segment yesterday on how I'm

222
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: trying to get rid of RBF and have a pleasant

223
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: look on my face. I have an update on that. Oh,

224
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: I got a few texts about that my personal life.

225
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: It is.

226
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: The struggle is real, but I think it can be done. Wow.

227
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by this or more to come, But first

228
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story

229
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: with Katie Green Katie.

230
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: Starting with ABC the headline that's everywhere so far one

231
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: hundred and ten dead in Texas and one hundred and

232
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: sixty one missing in Kirk County.

233
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the big update yesterday that nobody knew

234
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: there were one hundred and sixty one people still missing

235
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: and nobody's expecting to find them alive anyway. Wow. Often

236
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: the missing thing is just they haven't checked in or

237
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: the right people haven't checked in with them. But in

238
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: this case, yeah, they have a bad feeling. Yeah, that's something.

239
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: CNN sources say. Hag Seth did not inform the White

240
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: House before he authorized the pause on weapons shipments to Ukraine.

241
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: This is an interesting, damn story. Trump was asked about

242
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: this yesterday about the pause and weapons to Ukraine. He said,

243
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: I didn't authorize that, and now everybody's like, Okay, who

244
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: did and are they in trouble or what's happening there? Right? Wow,

245
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: that speaks to a bit of a problem in the

246
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: old flow chart there in the administration. Yeah, I've got

247
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by the idea of we're running short of

248
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: necessary armaments. That's worth discussing. But yeah, I've got the

249
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: who did it and why? Uh for you later. But

250
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty interesting. And the other interesting part is

251
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: that Trump decided to end that press conference in front

252
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: of everyone at a cabinet meeting, you know, let the

253
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: world know. No, I didn't do that, somebody else did.

254
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: I mean, well, because you know, sorry, while he was

255
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: sitting shoulder to shoulder with hegsat right, I mean, that's

256
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: throwing a stink bomb out there.

257
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

258
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: From the Washington Post, Supreme Court allows Trump to launch

259
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: mass layoff and restructuring plans.

260
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was another one of those no we're not

261
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: going to stop them deals. They didn't rule specifically on

262
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: the firings as a procedural thing, but yeah, it's fun.

263
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: And the idea that well, no, you can't ever fi

264
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: or government employees. Where hell did that idea come from? Well?

265
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: The Union from the New York Times confronted over the

266
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: Epstein files Trump and Bondietael supporters to move on.

267
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a web of Pam's own weaving. Really,

268
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: we can talk about that more later. But if you're

269
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: a believer that Trump might be on that list, you know,

270
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy to craft a reason for them to

271
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: say move on. It will come up in mailbag. Stay

272
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: with us, okay.

273
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: USA Today Elon musk Ai chat Butt Grock praises Hitler

274
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: and posts anti Semitic tropes.

275
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: Oh I want to read. Yeah, I want to get

276
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: to that story. It's uh, it's nutty. Oh wow, troubling. Oh,

277
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm fast. I'm really really interested in that sort of stuff.

278
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear that.

279
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: From the New York Post, Convicted murderer Derrick Groves eludes

280
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: law enforcement as he remains the last New Orleans jail

00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: escape on the run.

282
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: I heard that today. There's one guy still out there,

283
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: out there. He's a cold blooded murderer. Also, yeah, study

284
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: finds he had he had the girlfriend inside, that she

285
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: she was the one that helped them get out. He

286
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: had he and the two of them were dating. Apparently.

287
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: Oh that's nice.

288
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: Study finds ancient dating tips to find modern love avoid

289
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: bad breath, do your hair, and don't pick partners while drunk.

290
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: Advice. Yeah, well probably I love that story. More on

291
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: that later.

292
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: And finally from the Babylon Bee, Furious Gavin Newsom says

293
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: he won't stand silently by while Trump fixes California.

294
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: Mm ah, I love it. Even on MSNBC they were

295
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: talking about Gavin Newsom has some quality of life problems

296
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: in California that will be difficult to explain to voters.

297
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: That was on MSNBC, right right. I just I can't

298
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: wait for that to begin. I hope I lived long

299
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: enough to see Gavin Newsom's presidential run. It will be

300
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: so satisfying. I think you're going to be dead within

301
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: two years. I just I'm humble about these things. God

302
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: is willing. I will laugh at his demise. Okay, we

303
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: got a lot more on the way. Stay here, Armstrong

304
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: and Getty.

305
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 4: Scientists are resorting to once unthinkable solutions to cool the planet,

306
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 4: like dumping chemicals in the ocean, sprang salt water into clouds,

307
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 4: and injecting reflective particles into the sky. It's all published

308
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 4: in the New England Journal of screw Up. We're just

309
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: throwing stuff at the wall, what happens if we blow.

310
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 1: Up the moon? So Trump was asked about the pause

311
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: and shipment of weapons to Ukraine yesterday and he said

312
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: I didn't authorize that, and that started quite a conversation

313
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: about Okay, who did and why. I think the answer

314
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: is out there and we are resuming. Trump has said

315
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: that Trump's angrier Putin than he has certainly ever expressed

316
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: publicly ever, And this is a developing story, so probably

317
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: get into that an hour or two. Anybody with any

318
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: familiarity with Trump can figure out where this is heading.

319
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: He is through with Putin and personally angered by him.

320
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, stay tuned. This is an odd, odd story.

321
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: A couple of stories from Silicon Valley Grock, which is

322
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: the chatbot. It's the it's the chat GPT of Elon

323
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: Musk's ex family, and a number of people like it

324
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: very much. We've had listeners say, dude, you ought to

325
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: try this one. It's really good. Yeah, yeah, I shouldn't

326
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: just rest on chat gpt because I'm so happy with it.

327
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I just it's freaking amazing. But I should

328
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: try the other ones. And a couple of yeah, a

329
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: couple of my favorite writers keep mentioning Claude being very

330
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: I can even remember who's that. Don't know that I

331
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: like having one that has a name. I know, don't

332
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: you know the whole give him, don't give him human names.

333
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: Like yesterday late in the show, we were talking about

334
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: this gut Health ripoff company. Sorry, that's allegedly in quotes

335
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: my opinion, defensible first Amendment. Get your lawyers off of me.

336
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: But they call themselves Zelli DEALI well, not Gut Health

337
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: amalgamated or What's in your guts or something else, Sali,

338
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: Why is it a chick's name? Why? Well, I'll tell

339
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: you why. I think these people are trying to lead

340
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: us down the path of feeling like these are human

341
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: beings we're talking to and developing personal relationships with non humanities.

342
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: That's what they're trying to do. Yes, let's all move

343
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: to the uncanny valley anyway, getting back to the story,

344
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: So you got your grac It published a number of

345
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: ant hy semitic posts Tuesday, It's second flurry of controversial

346
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: responses to users in recent months. Wait a minute, what

347
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: do you mean? It published a number of posts? Wes,

348
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: what that whole sentences? Mystifies me? What on we go.

349
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: In a series of viral posts on x GROC started

350
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: to call itself Mecha Hitler, as in mechanical Hitler. So

351
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: there's sometimes Groc up late at night and like elon

352
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: himself or Trump or other people or other people. It

353
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: would have been me back in the day. You know,

354
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: if you had a few drink, it's a long day,

355
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: you're a little frustrated with the world, and you just

356
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: start firing crap off. I don't know does GROC do that?

357
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: Is Groc drinking whiskey or snorting silicon chips or what?

358
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. So the chat bot or mecha Hitler

359
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: suggested that an account called rad Reflections was a person

360
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: named Cindy Steinberg who was celebrating the deaths of dozens

361
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: of children went missing a mystic in Texas, but it

362
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: start going after because of her last name. It called Steinberger.

363
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: Radical said she was happy that a group of future

364
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: fascists had perished in the Texas flood camp. Myssed it

365
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: well known as a camp for the children of the

366
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: state's political elite. I guess Groc's responses seized on the

367
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: user's surname as the grounds for their stance on the issue.

368
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: Quote classic case of hatred, dressed up his activism and

369
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: that surname every damn time, as they say. Groc posted

370
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: at one thirty eight pm. In another post, Groc said

371
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: to deal with such viole anti white hate Adolf Hitler,

372
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: no question, he'd spot the pattern and handle it decisively.

373
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: What what.

374
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: Did has Elon responded to this?

375
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: Oh?

376
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, like no, GROC back in your cage. Yeah, yeah,

377
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: it's a I can't His comment is here a XAI

378
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,239
Speaker 1: said it was working to remove the posts and had

379
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: taken action to ban hate speech before Groc posts on

380
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: x But Elon is the guy who said which which

381
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: AI went on some sort of woke rant it was

382
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: Google's and and Elon himself said, they're gonna have to

383
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: strip that down to the bottom because that is clearly

384
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: an example of you know, they've they've got a particular

385
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: attitude running through their entire company that has gotten into

386
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: their AI, and that's going to be it's gonna you

387
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: have to remove a lot of people to get rid

388
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 1: of that. Well, is that true now of his organization? Yeah?

389
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess it was a couple of

390
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: months ago. Groc posted about the white genocide of non

391
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: black South Africans in response to prompts wholly unrelated to

392
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: the topic. Why are all of these AI bots like

393
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: your least hinged friend who doesn't know when to keep

394
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: their mouth shut? Trunk uncle, Yeah, yeah, well it has

395
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: no I'd better not say that. Philter Ich, Yes, and

396
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: in you know, it's it's reading everything and absorbing everything,

397
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: right that starting point thinks it's appropriate to say to

398
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: deal with such viole anti white hate Hateolf Hitler no question. Yeah,

399
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: he's about the pattern and handle it decisively. That's pretty interesting.

400
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: Whoa whoa whoa No.

401
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: No no no no no.

402
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: We don't like look to Hitler as an example of

403
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: good things Kroc No no, no, no.

404
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 3: No no no.

405
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: So that's interesting And I'm wondering if they're having those

406
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: these conversations. If they're not, they certainly should be. Hey,

407
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: those of you work in Silicon Valley. Are you talking

408
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: about this? So the fact that these AI things, these

409
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: language learning models, everything they get comes from online. I

410
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: mean that expression he's too online or she's too online

411
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: is about the culture of being online. Is weird. It's

412
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: not the way any normal person talks. You're way, way

413
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: more snarky and aggressive and and all kinds of bad

414
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: things online than you are in real life. All know that.

415
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: But so if these AI bots are are learning about

416
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: humans from only from Twitter and Facebook and all these

417
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: different things, of course that's the way they're going to talk. Well,

418
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: they're not only learning about humans from that, but it's

419
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: part of the st They aren't sitting around listening to

420
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: normal conversations. They aren't sitting around listening to human beings

421
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: interact driving in the car or sitting around the lunch table. Right,

422
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: it's all published material, so they aren't going to have

423
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: any real understanding of the way people don't talk that

424
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: way Grock or Chat, GPT or whoever's saying these that's

425
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: not the way normal people actually interact. Yeah. Yeah, when

426
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: we were on vacation, the Wall Street Journal had a

427
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: big story about several big time CEOs, I mean, like huge,

428
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: giant corporation CEOs. We're starting to be a little more

429
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: open about Yeah. Yeah, AI is going to eliminate many,

430
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: many thousands of jobs around here. We're just figuring out

431
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: where and when any So that's becoming more and moretant.

432
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: I mean it's always been undeniable. All you have to

433
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: do is use it a couple of times and start

434
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: to picture the sort of you know, like bottom third

435
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: of whatever profession, that those jobs will go away. That's

436
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: going to be an enormous political economic shock. But any yeah,

437
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I run into situations every day where

438
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 1: I think we're a long way from AI taking over

439
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: the world, just because like every time I have to

440
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: fill out something online with my address, I think we're

441
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: a long way from AI taking over. The fact that

442
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm putting my address in this box for the eight

443
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: millionth time in my life and that isn't automatic means

444
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: we're a ways away. Or the fact that if I

445
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: type into anything you okay, letter, you okay, question mark,

446
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: and it changes it to I, so it doesn't recognize

447
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: you as something you could use as a word, doesn't

448
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: understand that you okay actually is kind of grammatically okay,

449
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: whereas I okay is not. I mean, So, just things

450
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: like that makes me think now we're quite a way's way,

451
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: because that you could show anybody over the age of

452
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: eight you okay, and they would be able to read

453
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: that and understand it. But your computer or iPhone or

454
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: whatever can't. That's a good point. I just don't know

455
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: how quickly they'll overcome that sort of thing or find

456
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: workarounds or whatever. But it's it's an interesting question. More

457
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley controversy. After a momentary message from her friends

458
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: at Trust and Will, do not do this to the

459
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:39,200

00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,800

00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: slash armstrong. So I'm going to the Met, for instance,

477
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: the big art museum in New York, and my kids

478
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: are getting really tired chat GPT, I just say, where

479
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: do I go to see the most? Van Goes? I

480
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: didn't see where we were because I'd had that conversation

481
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: earlier with it about how do we get to the Met,

482
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: so it knew what the conversation was. So I just said,

483
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: where do I go to see the most? Bengos? That

484
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: said go up to the third floor, numbers eight twenty

485
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: two through eight twenty five. I mean, that's just amazing. Yeah,

486
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: that is. That's crazy. Huh. And there's all kinds of

487
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: examples of that. Again, if you're not using it, men,

488
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: you should start. By the way, the past tense of

489
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: van Goes is actually van Wentz. Anyway, you know, we

490
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: don't really have time for this next story. I'll give

491
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: you the very short version of this, and it's very

492
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: inside Silicon Valley, but it points to an ongoing fight

493
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: in American society. You got this guy, Sean McGuire. He's

494
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: thirty nine years old. He's a zillionaire. He's a big

495
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 1: contributor to a private equity fund. Is that what they are,

496
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: Sequoa Capital, And they're a super giant financier of things

497
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: technical and futuristic and blah blah blah. And if you're

498
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: in that world, you're more than familiar with them. They

499
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: manage more than sixty billion dollars, top tier venture capital firm.

500
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: This guy is he's ses A and G material for sure.

501
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: Sean McGuire shout out if you're listening. He posted about

502
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: Zorn Mumdani, the communist Islamist jackass who may well be

503
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: the next mayor of New York City. McGuire chimed in

504
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: on the New York City mayoral candidate, a Democratic socialist

505
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: who is Muslim, calling mundanmi On Islamist who comes from

506
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: a culture that lies about everything. And he's spent the

507
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: days since sparring with ex posters in Silicon Valley types.

508
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: And now the left is mobilized trying to get Sequoia

509
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: his employer, to get rid of him or silence him

510
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: or whatever. And it's an interesting fight. It includes a

511
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: number of like big time CEOs of Indian descent, because Mundani,

512
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: the African American which I want to talk about, is

513
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: actually of Indian descent. Is Indian parents just ended up

514
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: in Uganda. But it's really quite the fight. Now, can

515
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: you express something that's a little that's out there? Referring

516
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: to India as a culture that lies about everything? That

517
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: is not the first time I have heard that allegation

518
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: about Indian business culture. Really, anything about exception is viewed

519
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: differently there than it is in the United States. Yeah, yeah,

520
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: But anyway, you're seeing more and more people saying, yeah,

521
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't care what you think. Here's what I think

522
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: on the right side of the aisle, and I love it.

523
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: His ideas are bad. Subjective to the light of day,

524
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: they won't last. How is it going me trying to

525
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: get rid of RBF? If you suffer from RBF, you

526
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: should stay tuned because I've learned some things about that.

527
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: We've got mail bag on the way. Also, stay here.

528
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: Guy through the slowest pitch of Major League Baseball season

529
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: this year night, in an attempt to get out of

530
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: a game in which it was a blowout and everybody

531
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: wanted to be over, he threw a thirty four mile

532
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: an hour pitch, which wouldn't be easy to do. Yeah

533
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: that's uh yeah, that's it doesn't have enough steam to

534
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: get to the place, right. Yeah. Yeah, here's your freedom

535
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: loving quota the day. Continuing our series of the great

536
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: Thomas Sowel celebrating his ninety fifth birthday while we were

537
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: on vacation. So many choices, I'll go with this one today.

538
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: People who pride themselves on their complexity and derit others

539
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: for being simplistic should realize that the truth is often

540
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: not very complicated. What gets complex is evading the truth.

541
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good one, right there, Yes, sir, Yes, sir.

542
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: Mailbag drops a note mail Bag at Armstrong and Geddy

543
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: dot com. I love this from Alnonymous at the Sea Ranch,

544
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: beautiful little community northern California on the Ocean. I have

545
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: stayed there many times. Yeah yeah, I'd thought about buying

546
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: some real estate there once upon a time, but what

547
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: was holding back was I didn't have nearly enough money anyway,

548
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: Al rights, I find the best definition of maturity to

549
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 1: be doing what you want to do, even if your

550
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: mother wants you to do it. That's a great definition

551
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: of maturity anyway, just thinking about it, taking it in yes,

552
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: I am ruminating it. In yes, I mean the obvious is,

553
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to do what I want. And

554
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: if your mother says I think that's a great idea,

555
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: you say, well, I'm not doing it. You're not mature.

556
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: But then he makes his ultimate point. Unfortunately, the left

557
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: isn't mature enough to acknowledge wanting anything that Trump's Trump

558
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: puts in place, even if they believe it's a good idea.

559
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: Order security, sending illegal aliens who are violent criminals out

560
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: of the US, requiring able bodied, non child bearing adults

561
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: on Medicaid work for their benefit, destroying your on's ability

562
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: to create a nuclear warhead. The list is long. Come on, Left,

563
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: it's time to grow up. I was thinking of examples

564
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: of my high schooler who does a number of things

565
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: that are self defeating, but it's part of his whole

566
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: rebelling against the man thing that you have to do

567
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: when you're that age. Well, right, exactly. You know I've

568
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: told the story before, and we should do a mail bag,

569
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: but I can't resist. I was. I can picture the

570
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: very intersection my dad and I were at stop sign

571
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: on the way back to high school. It's probably my

572
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: junior year or so, going back for some ballgame or something,

573
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: and he was talking about college and I said, yeah,

574
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: maybe I don't want to go to college, and he said, Okay,

575
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: that's up to you. I well, I, oh, no, I

576
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: guess I'll go to college. The one my son is

577
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: he's always talking about how lady's gonna stay up, and

578
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: then he got stuff to do the next day. I'm like,

579
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: how is this going to benefit you? Well, you're not

580
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: doing anything. Why is sting up late gonna make it?

581
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna step as late as I want. Okay,

582
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: got it moving along. WNBA observation writes Dan and Frog's Breath,

583
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: North Carolina. You know I've spent many any happy days. Indeed,

584
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: I lived at one time in North Carolina. I don't

585
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: recall visiting the friendly environs of Frogs Breath anyway, he says, gentlemen,

586
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: the story the other day about Caitlin Clark finishing ninth

587
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: in the player's All Star vote is evidence that the

588
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: nineteenth Amendment was a terrible idea should be repealed. Sorry, Katie,

589
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: Oh good lord. He wants to deny to write a

590
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: woman to vote? Dan, Come on, maybe that sort of

591
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: attitude passes in Frog's breath. Not on this show, certainly not,

592
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: Robert writes, guys, Tuesday's discussion on gender Benning madness reminded

593
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: me of my own identity disorder. See. I was born

594
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: in North America, but sometimes I identify as Central American

595
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: or South American. You see, I'm actually trans American. That

596
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: in my mind? Will so that in mind? Will California

597
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: allow me to have my gender as trans am on

598
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: my license? Can I get a racing stripe and a

599
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: phoenix tattoo on my chest paid for by medical as

600
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: gender affirming care. I think he's trying to point out

601
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: how absurd all of that is. You are what you are,

602
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: no matter what you say.

603
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 3: You are.

604
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: Jared and Mississippi totally different topic on the Epstein list.

605
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm losing confidence with this administration. Everyone knows Epstein didn't

606
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: hang himself, and now the gas lighting continues, just like

607
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: under Biden. It's Jared and Missouri. I got this from

608
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: Patty coincidental that Net and Yahoo nominated Trump for the

609
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: Nobel Peace Prize the day after Trump squashed the Epstein case.

610
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: The Masad and CIA used Epstein to blackmail politicians and

611
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: political leaders. He was given free rein to do whatever

612
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: evil atrocities he could dream up. The public won't let

613
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: the story die because of the thousands of children that

614

Speaker 1: bring that aspect of it everybody, those of you, because

618
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: I know if you who are really into the Epstein thing,

619
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: it's all about the hundreds of thousands of children that

620
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: have been trafficked for sex by the Democratic Party in
