Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: decide and he arms range from studio scene. Say, Sanjola,
Speaker 1: we're in a dim lit We're in a timly lit
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
Speaker 1: of our general manager Trump looking at Ukraine. What's looking
Speaker 1: at Israel? I'm looking at tariffs. I'm looking at going
Speaker 1: after the University's trumpety Trump Trump, Yeah, good board. I
Speaker 1: know things are moving, They're shaken. No more status quot
Speaker 1: train the swamp. Jack's not down for it. He'd look
Speaker 1: at him with his cynicism and his eye rolling. Is
Speaker 1: all right? Time to take on the beast. Time to
Speaker 1: take on the beast. Here's you with us? Are you
Speaker 1: with the beast? Here's the most interesting thing I've heard today?
Speaker 1: Oh good, just heard it. Long discussion on MSNBC of
Speaker 1: all places, which if you don't watch cable news, and
Speaker 1: good for you, you shouldn't, and neither neither do any
Speaker 1: of your friends or anybody else. Really, So why we
Speaker 1: still talk about it. I have no idea because nobody's
Speaker 1: watching these shows. But anyway, MSNBC with talking about an
Speaker 1: Atlantic article. Atlantic also left leaning publication, both highly distraught
Speaker 1: over the amount of land China has purchased around our
Speaker 1: military bases in the United States. Now we've talked about
Speaker 1: this before, but the fact that MSNBC and The Atlantic
Speaker 1: are saying, holy crap, look how much of land China
Speaker 1: has purchased around military installations in the United States of America,
Speaker 1: given these recent drone attacks from Israel on Iran and
Speaker 1: Ukraine on Russia. So that leads me to believe that's
Speaker 1: a real, real story. Not that I didn't think it
Speaker 1: was real anyway, but it is really a real story.
Speaker 1: I'm interested in the ideological dynamics of that. I happened
Speaker 1: to just be thinking about Marxism, both in the twentieth
Speaker 1: century and today before we went on in reference to
Speaker 1: Mom Dannie and some stuff going on in universities, and
Speaker 1: there's one more story that we'll get to later, and
Speaker 1: thinking about the Marxists who were just ideologically Marxists in
Speaker 1: the twenty first in the twentieth century, and those who
Speaker 1: were actual agents of the Soviet Union and I've got
Speaker 1: to admit to hear the pretty far left of American
Speaker 1: politics making noises about, hey, we've go to be on
Speaker 1: the against these damn comedies. That's heartening in a way. Surprised,
Speaker 1: it's beyond heartening. But that's a hell of a story. Man.
Speaker 1: You talk about we are we're just such a we're
Speaker 1: the big dog. We've always been the big big dog,
Speaker 1: will always be the big dog. Whatever I mean that
Speaker 1: just we're so that whatever you call that, and combine
Speaker 1: that with the naivete of, look, we'll be nice to
Speaker 1: them and they'll be nice to us, of course, because
Speaker 1: that's how people act. How in the hell did the
Speaker 1: United States of America allow Chinese businesses which is the
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party. I guess people didn't understand that at
Speaker 1: the time in their laws. Yes, you're not allowed to
Speaker 1: be a company that doesn't do what the Communist Party
Speaker 1: wants you to do. So okay, so you're uh, I
Speaker 1: was gonna use some fake Chinese name, but I'd probably
Speaker 1: get myself into trouble. You're you're you're Bill Jones in
Speaker 1: a Chinese name, and you're on a I don't know,
Speaker 1: a sandwich corporation whatever you do. You bought a bunch
Speaker 1: of land around a military base in the United States
Speaker 1: of America and the comedy Party tells you, hey, we're
Speaker 1: gonna put a whole bunch of containers shipping containers on
Speaker 1: your land. You don't have an option of saying no,
Speaker 1: you're not. What are you going to put in them?
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it, exactly. So we have shipping containers
Speaker 1: full of drones around all our military installations the United
Speaker 1: States on land China purchased long ago, and we allowed
Speaker 1: them to do it pretty much. Okay, it's just an
Speaker 1: agricultural company. It's an agricultural company based at Shada. It's
Speaker 1: just agriculture. Wow. Lord wow. Joshcarborough is even talking about
Speaker 1: we got to do something about that eminent domain or something.
Speaker 1: But we can't. We can't let them have that land around,
Speaker 1: no kidding, that's right, sir. What percentage of people and
Speaker 1: or institutions are hip to the whole Michael Pillsbury on
Speaker 1: hundred Year Marathon, the evolution and thinking about China. I
Speaker 1: suppose a fair number are because Trump made such a
Speaker 1: big deal of it, But there are still I guess
Speaker 1: my point is there are still large sectors of the
Speaker 1: American economy, especially are our business community that still think
Speaker 1: of China ninety percent as a market and are dimly
Speaker 1: aware that it's a hostile power bent on our overthrow,
Speaker 1: but just dimly well, the American people are there. The
Speaker 1: recent polling is it went from like fifteen percent to
Speaker 1: now like ninety percent of Americans who think China is
Speaker 1: our enemy. But in terms of business and government, I
Speaker 1: don't know. That's a let's have a national vote right now,
Speaker 1: that's not a thing really on these as. We don't
Speaker 1: have propositions in America, like for instance, Couo, Unicornia. But
Speaker 1: let's have a national proposition. Let's take back all the
Speaker 1: land within one hundred and seventy five miles probably ought
Speaker 1: to be five hundred miles of any military installation owned
Speaker 1: by any Chinese entity. We'll pay for it as a people.
Speaker 1: Then we'll sell it to some nice couple from Maine
Speaker 1: or something like that. For some reason, it's some constitutional
Speaker 1: let's have a vote. Anybody care about that? No, okay, sorry,
Speaker 1: in the case of China, it doesn't matter. We're taking
Speaker 1: the land back. Yeah, yeah, and you know the call
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, they'll say, yeah, kind of busy. We'll
Speaker 1: call you back. Why don't you go ahead and we'll
Speaker 1: let you know. Everybody agrees. So that's a troubling thing. U.
Speaker 1: We can get into some of the details later. Here's
Speaker 1: the second most exciting thing I've heard today. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: before we get to that, Michael, did you just have
Speaker 1: your head in your hands? Yeah, I'm fine, guys, I'm
Speaker 1: just dealing with the cold a little bit. Okay. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: it looks like you were despairing and I thought the
Speaker 1: show had been that bad. No, no, no, we're good. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, good. Back to the second most interesting thing.
Speaker 1: You have a cold, Michael. Oh, yeah, yeah, the wife
Speaker 1: came home with something miserable. Blaming on the wife. Stick
Speaker 1: in my little my little booth here. Good. I do
Speaker 1: blame it on on the wife though. That'll make you
Speaker 1: feel a little better. Um, she gave you a cold,
Speaker 1: probably out of malice.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: We've talked about this for years. The common cold, because
Speaker 1: it is so common, is unappreciated for how miserable it
Speaker 1: makes you feel when you're in the midst of a cold.
Speaker 1: If you didn't know you had a cold, you'd go
Speaker 1: to the hospital because you feel so horrible. It is
Speaker 1: the paper cut of illnesses. It won't kill you, but
Speaker 1: it's miserable, the paper cut of illnesses. The other story
Speaker 1: most interesting to me today that we don't need to
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time on because it's obvious what
Speaker 1: it is. But Gavin Newsom is the governor of California,
Speaker 1: is in South Carolina meeting voters. Oh that's funny. What
Speaker 1: the hell is going on? And as I saw one
Speaker 1: cable news host point out, I just did some googling around,
Speaker 1: there are no direct flights between Sacramento and Columbia, South Carolina,
Speaker 1: so he must have put some effort in getting there.
Speaker 1: And not only that, he was introduced by Congressman Clyburn,
Speaker 1: the guy who got Joe Biden the nomination in two thousands.
Speaker 1: Well he saved the Democrats winning the election, but he
Speaker 1: introduced Gavin Lane nine said, I think this guy's got
Speaker 1: a really good chance. So he's got Cliburn on his
Speaker 1: side at least, so that's a pretty big deal. Run
Speaker 1: Kevin fries In any way. But Gavin Newsom is clearly
Speaker 1: for one thousand percent. His life every day is about
Speaker 1: how do I get the nomination to run? Clearly Gavin,
Speaker 1: whose administration just said, no way, will we stop letting
Speaker 1: men compete in girls' sports in California. We're counter suing
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice. We're going for justice for trans
Speaker 1: You know, you know that that's all good stuff to
Speaker 1: throw at him. I don't think you need any of that.
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is drive around with your cell
Speaker 1: phone out the window. I could do it right now,
Speaker 1: Literally could do it right now. Hanson. You've seen it
Speaker 1: out from over on Arden because I know you drive
Speaker 1: that way too. What is that pile of refuse? What
Speaker 1: is that garbage and tents and bikes? Have you seen that? Michael?
Speaker 1: It's incredible. It's like a mountain. Now, how big is
Speaker 1: that gonna get? Before anybody does it? Anything about it?
Speaker 1: Right across from one of the nicer malls. With all
Speaker 1: I think I may have designed the perfect anti Gavin
Speaker 1: ad that will run in every market in America over
Speaker 1: and over and over again. And it was actually a
Speaker 1: retweet of a picture run by the fabulous folks at
Speaker 1: the California Globe, as I recall, But it's a picture
Speaker 1: of a bunch of junkies sprawled out amidst all their
Speaker 1: garbage and their needles and crap on a street corner
Speaker 1: happen to be Capitol Avenue with the state capitol in
Speaker 1: the background. I captioned it, the California dream can be
Speaker 1: yours all across America. Vote, Gavin Newsom, How do you
Speaker 1: beat that?
Speaker 3: Ad?
Speaker 1: I could pick We're in Sacramento, the capitol of California.
Speaker 1: I could pick a number of streets today, drive down
Speaker 1: there with my cell phone out making video. That would
Speaker 1: ruin his chances of being the president of the United States,
Speaker 1: because how do you explain that? Right? Anyway? Let's start
Speaker 1: all challenge all fall short sometimes, yeah, we do. We've
Speaker 1: had how homelessness is come to California and we're fighting
Speaker 1: it with innovative tools. What the hell is He's getting
Speaker 1: the money and the programs. Nobody's more upset about this
Speaker 1: than me. What the hell's going on? That was? That
Speaker 1: was about? That was about homelessness. He looks we need
Speaker 1: our local leaders to take control. What the hell's going on?
Speaker 1: You phony, you con man, you criminal? He laughed. I laughed.
Speaker 1: Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe
Speaker 1: Getty on this It is Wednesday, July night. There twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five were armstrong and getty, and we approve of
Speaker 1: this program. Let's begin then officially, according to FCC rules
Speaker 1: and regulations, the show starts at mark.
Speaker 3: For twenty years, the big lie was that this kind
Speaker 3: of immigration didn't hurt working people. Now economists to come
Speaker 3: out and said, oh, what a surprise. Even the laws
Speaker 3: of supplying demand work in the low end labor market.
Speaker 3: So I talk about in that editorial what I call
Speaker 3: parallel prosperity that for years Wall Street has done well.
Speaker 3: Now it's time for Main Street to do well. And
Speaker 3: they can both do well. And that's the one big
Speaker 3: beautiful bill. That's the beauty of this. It helps Wall
Speaker 3: Street and Main Street.
Speaker 1: All juxtaposition at Wall Street and Main Street should be illegal.
Speaker 1: The First Amendment should be limited in that way. It's
Speaker 1: just so trite. But finally people are saying, well, of course,
Speaker 1: importing huge amounts of underpriced anything undermines the price of
Speaker 1: what's in the market, including people. Of course it does.
Speaker 1: What was the premise of that? I lost the premise
Speaker 1: of that. The premise is for twenty years, the lie
Speaker 1: was that immigration did not hurt working people. Rampant illegal immigration,
Speaker 1: even though you're left. He left. He's like Bernie were
Speaker 1: saying that all along. Yeah, interestingly enough, Yeah he was.
Speaker 1: I just was looking at this New York Times article
Speaker 1: about what's it called, something about, oh, can Democrats find
Speaker 1: their way on immigration? And they talked to all sorts
Speaker 1: of reasonable folks with reasonable pinions, and then they come
Speaker 1: to Iana Presley, Communist representative of Massachusetts. Quote, Democrats have
Speaker 1: to stop talking about the issue of immigration with in
Speaker 1: a republican frame. This has nothing to do with law
Speaker 1: and order. This is about power control, terror, and it
Speaker 1: is about racism and xenophobia. Donald Trump wants to make
Speaker 1: America Jim Crow again. And then some so those people,
Speaker 1: those Congress people still exist in the Democratic Party. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got to take a break. We got some Trump
Speaker 1: was asked about Epstein yesterday and his two hour press
Speaker 1: conference that he had answering every question about everything in
Speaker 1: the world, but he got asked about Epstein and it
Speaker 1: came up, and that's pretty entertaining. Among other things. On
Speaker 1: the way, we got Katie's headlines next here. Don't miss
Speaker 1: it if you missed the segment yesterday on how I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get rid of RBF and have a pleasant
Speaker 1: look on my face. I have an update on that. Oh,
Speaker 1: I got a few texts about that my personal life.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 1: The struggle is real, but I think it can be done. Wow.
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by this or more to come, But first
Speaker 1: let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story
Speaker 1: with Katie Green Katie.
Speaker 2: Starting with ABC the headline that's everywhere so far one
Speaker 2: hundred and ten dead in Texas and one hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty one missing in Kirk County.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the big update yesterday that nobody knew
Speaker 1: there were one hundred and sixty one people still missing
Speaker 1: and nobody's expecting to find them alive anyway. Wow. Often
Speaker 1: the missing thing is just they haven't checked in or
Speaker 1: the right people haven't checked in with them. But in
Speaker 1: this case, yeah, they have a bad feeling. Yeah, that's something.
Speaker 2: CNN sources say. Hag Seth did not inform the White
Speaker 2: House before he authorized the pause on weapons shipments to Ukraine.
Speaker 1: This is an interesting, damn story. Trump was asked about
Speaker 1: this yesterday about the pause and weapons to Ukraine. He said,
Speaker 1: I didn't authorize that, and now everybody's like, Okay, who
Speaker 1: did and are they in trouble or what's happening there? Right? Wow,
Speaker 1: that speaks to a bit of a problem in the
Speaker 1: old flow chart there in the administration. Yeah, I've got
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by the idea of we're running short of
Speaker 1: necessary armaments. That's worth discussing. But yeah, I've got the
Speaker 1: who did it and why? Uh for you later. But
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty interesting. And the other interesting part is
Speaker 1: that Trump decided to end that press conference in front
Speaker 1: of everyone at a cabinet meeting, you know, let the
Speaker 1: world know. No, I didn't do that, somebody else did.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, because you know, sorry, while he was
Speaker 2: sitting shoulder to shoulder with hegsat right, I mean, that's
Speaker 2: throwing a stink bomb out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: From the Washington Post, Supreme Court allows Trump to launch
Speaker 2: mass layoff and restructuring plans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was another one of those no we're not
Speaker 1: going to stop them deals. They didn't rule specifically on
Speaker 1: the firings as a procedural thing, but yeah, it's fun.
Speaker 1: And the idea that well, no, you can't ever fi
Speaker 1: or government employees. Where hell did that idea come from? Well?
Speaker 2: The Union from the New York Times confronted over the
Speaker 2: Epstein files Trump and Bondietael supporters to move on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a web of Pam's own weaving. Really,
Speaker 1: we can talk about that more later. But if you're
Speaker 1: a believer that Trump might be on that list, you know,
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy to craft a reason for them to
Speaker 1: say move on. It will come up in mailbag. Stay
Speaker 1: with us, okay.
Speaker 2: USA Today Elon musk Ai chat Butt Grock praises Hitler
Speaker 2: and posts anti Semitic tropes.
Speaker 1: Oh I want to read. Yeah, I want to get
Speaker 1: to that story. It's uh, it's nutty. Oh wow, troubling. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm fast. I'm really really interested in that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear that.
Speaker 2: From the New York Post, Convicted murderer Derrick Groves eludes
Speaker 2: law enforcement as he remains the last New Orleans jail
Speaker 2: escape on the run.
Speaker 1: I heard that today. There's one guy still out there,
Speaker 1: out there. He's a cold blooded murderer. Also, yeah, study
Speaker 1: finds he had he had the girlfriend inside, that she
Speaker 1: she was the one that helped them get out. He
Speaker 1: had he and the two of them were dating. Apparently.
Speaker 1: Oh that's nice.
Speaker 2: Study finds ancient dating tips to find modern love avoid
Speaker 2: bad breath, do your hair, and don't pick partners while drunk.
Speaker 1: Advice. Yeah, well probably I love that story. More on
Speaker 1: that later.
Speaker 2: And finally from the Babylon Bee, Furious Gavin Newsom says
Speaker 2: he won't stand silently by while Trump fixes California.
Speaker 1: Mm ah, I love it. Even on MSNBC they were
Speaker 1: talking about Gavin Newsom has some quality of life problems
Speaker 1: in California that will be difficult to explain to voters.
Speaker 1: That was on MSNBC, right right. I just I can't
Speaker 1: wait for that to begin. I hope I lived long
Speaker 1: enough to see Gavin Newsom's presidential run. It will be
Speaker 1: so satisfying. I think you're going to be dead within
Speaker 1: two years. I just I'm humble about these things. God
Speaker 1: is willing. I will laugh at his demise. Okay, we
Speaker 1: got a lot more on the way. Stay here, Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Getty.
Speaker 4: Scientists are resorting to once unthinkable solutions to cool the planet,
Speaker 4: like dumping chemicals in the ocean, sprang salt water into clouds,
Speaker 4: and injecting reflective particles into the sky. It's all published
Speaker 4: in the New England Journal of screw Up. We're just
Speaker 4: throwing stuff at the wall, what happens if we blow.
Speaker 1: Up the moon? So Trump was asked about the pause
Speaker 1: and shipment of weapons to Ukraine yesterday and he said
Speaker 1: I didn't authorize that, and that started quite a conversation
Speaker 1: about Okay, who did and why. I think the answer
Speaker 1: is out there and we are resuming. Trump has said
Speaker 1: that Trump's angrier Putin than he has certainly ever expressed
Speaker 1: publicly ever, And this is a developing story, so probably
Speaker 1: get into that an hour or two. Anybody with any
Speaker 1: familiarity with Trump can figure out where this is heading.
Speaker 1: He is through with Putin and personally angered by him.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, stay tuned. This is an odd, odd story.
Speaker 1: A couple of stories from Silicon Valley Grock, which is
Speaker 1: the chatbot. It's the it's the chat GPT of Elon
Speaker 1: Musk's ex family, and a number of people like it
Speaker 1: very much. We've had listeners say, dude, you ought to
Speaker 1: try this one. It's really good. Yeah, yeah, I shouldn't
Speaker 1: just rest on chat gpt because I'm so happy with it.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I just it's freaking amazing. But I should
Speaker 1: try the other ones. And a couple of yeah, a
Speaker 1: couple of my favorite writers keep mentioning Claude being very
Speaker 1: I can even remember who's that. Don't know that I
Speaker 1: like having one that has a name. I know, don't
Speaker 1: you know the whole give him, don't give him human names.
Speaker 1: Like yesterday late in the show, we were talking about
Speaker 1: this gut Health ripoff company. Sorry, that's allegedly in quotes
Speaker 1: my opinion, defensible first Amendment. Get your lawyers off of me.
Speaker 1: But they call themselves Zelli DEALI well, not Gut Health
Speaker 1: amalgamated or What's in your guts or something else, Sali,
Speaker 1: Why is it a chick's name? Why? Well, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why. I think these people are trying to lead
Speaker 1: us down the path of feeling like these are human
Speaker 1: beings we're talking to and developing personal relationships with non humanities.
Speaker 1: That's what they're trying to do. Yes, let's all move
Speaker 1: to the uncanny valley anyway, getting back to the story,
Speaker 1: So you got your grac It published a number of
Speaker 1: ant hy semitic posts Tuesday, It's second flurry of controversial
Speaker 1: responses to users in recent months. Wait a minute, what
Speaker 1: do you mean? It published a number of posts? Wes,
Speaker 1: what that whole sentences? Mystifies me? What on we go.
Speaker 1: In a series of viral posts on x GROC started
Speaker 1: to call itself Mecha Hitler, as in mechanical Hitler. So
Speaker 1: there's sometimes Groc up late at night and like elon
Speaker 1: himself or Trump or other people or other people. It
Speaker 1: would have been me back in the day. You know,
Speaker 1: if you had a few drink, it's a long day,
Speaker 1: you're a little frustrated with the world, and you just
Speaker 1: start firing crap off. I don't know does GROC do that?
Speaker 1: Is Groc drinking whiskey or snorting silicon chips or what?
Speaker 1: I don't know. So the chat bot or mecha Hitler
Speaker 1: suggested that an account called rad Reflections was a person
Speaker 1: named Cindy Steinberg who was celebrating the deaths of dozens
Speaker 1: of children went missing a mystic in Texas, but it
Speaker 1: start going after because of her last name. It called Steinberger.
Speaker 1: Radical said she was happy that a group of future
Speaker 1: fascists had perished in the Texas flood camp. Myssed it
Speaker 1: well known as a camp for the children of the
Speaker 1: state's political elite. I guess Groc's responses seized on the
Speaker 1: user's surname as the grounds for their stance on the issue.
Speaker 1: Quote classic case of hatred, dressed up his activism and
Speaker 1: that surname every damn time, as they say. Groc posted
Speaker 1: at one thirty eight pm. In another post, Groc said
Speaker 1: to deal with such viole anti white hate Adolf Hitler,
Speaker 1: no question, he'd spot the pattern and handle it decisively.
Speaker 3: What what.
Speaker 1: Did has Elon responded to this?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like no, GROC back in your cage. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a I can't His comment is here a XAI
Speaker 1: said it was working to remove the posts and had
Speaker 1: taken action to ban hate speech before Groc posts on
Speaker 1: x But Elon is the guy who said which which
Speaker 1: AI went on some sort of woke rant it was
Speaker 1: Google's and and Elon himself said, they're gonna have to
Speaker 1: strip that down to the bottom because that is clearly
Speaker 1: an example of you know, they've they've got a particular
Speaker 1: attitude running through their entire company that has gotten into
Speaker 1: their AI, and that's going to be it's gonna you
Speaker 1: have to remove a lot of people to get rid
Speaker 1: of that. Well, is that true now of his organization? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess it was a couple of
Speaker 1: months ago. Groc posted about the white genocide of non
Speaker 1: black South Africans in response to prompts wholly unrelated to
Speaker 1: the topic. Why are all of these AI bots like
Speaker 1: your least hinged friend who doesn't know when to keep
Speaker 1: their mouth shut? Trunk uncle, Yeah, yeah, well it has
Speaker 1: no I'd better not say that. Philter Ich, Yes, and
Speaker 1: in you know, it's it's reading everything and absorbing everything,
Speaker 1: right that starting point thinks it's appropriate to say to
Speaker 1: deal with such viole anti white hate Hateolf Hitler no question. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's about the pattern and handle it decisively. That's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: Whoa whoa whoa No.
Speaker 3: No no no no no.
Speaker 1: We don't like look to Hitler as an example of
Speaker 1: good things Kroc No no, no, no.
Speaker 3: No no no.
Speaker 1: So that's interesting And I'm wondering if they're having those
Speaker 1: these conversations. If they're not, they certainly should be. Hey,
Speaker 1: those of you work in Silicon Valley. Are you talking
Speaker 1: about this? So the fact that these AI things, these
Speaker 1: language learning models, everything they get comes from online. I
Speaker 1: mean that expression he's too online or she's too online
Speaker 1: is about the culture of being online. Is weird. It's
Speaker 1: not the way any normal person talks. You're way, way
Speaker 1: more snarky and aggressive and and all kinds of bad
Speaker 1: things online than you are in real life. All know that.
Speaker 1: But so if these AI bots are are learning about
Speaker 1: humans from only from Twitter and Facebook and all these
Speaker 1: different things, of course that's the way they're going to talk. Well,
Speaker 1: they're not only learning about humans from that, but it's
Speaker 1: part of the st They aren't sitting around listening to
Speaker 1: normal conversations. They aren't sitting around listening to human beings
Speaker 1: interact driving in the car or sitting around the lunch table. Right,
Speaker 1: it's all published material, so they aren't going to have
Speaker 1: any real understanding of the way people don't talk that
Speaker 1: way Grock or Chat, GPT or whoever's saying these that's
Speaker 1: not the way normal people actually interact. Yeah. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: we were on vacation, the Wall Street Journal had a
Speaker 1: big story about several big time CEOs, I mean, like huge,
Speaker 1: giant corporation CEOs. We're starting to be a little more
Speaker 1: open about Yeah. Yeah, AI is going to eliminate many,
Speaker 1: many thousands of jobs around here. We're just figuring out
Speaker 1: where and when any So that's becoming more and moretant.
Speaker 1: I mean it's always been undeniable. All you have to
Speaker 1: do is use it a couple of times and start
Speaker 1: to picture the sort of you know, like bottom third
Speaker 1: of whatever profession, that those jobs will go away. That's
Speaker 1: going to be an enormous political economic shock. But any yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I run into situations every day where
Speaker 1: I think we're a long way from AI taking over
Speaker 1: the world, just because like every time I have to
Speaker 1: fill out something online with my address, I think we're
Speaker 1: a long way from AI taking over. The fact that
Speaker 1: I'm putting my address in this box for the eight
Speaker 1: millionth time in my life and that isn't automatic means
Speaker 1: we're a ways away. Or the fact that if I
Speaker 1: type into anything you okay, letter, you okay, question mark,
Speaker 1: and it changes it to I, so it doesn't recognize
Speaker 1: you as something you could use as a word, doesn't
Speaker 1: understand that you okay actually is kind of grammatically okay,
Speaker 1: whereas I okay is not. I mean, So, just things
Speaker 1: like that makes me think now we're quite a way's way,
Speaker 1: because that you could show anybody over the age of
Speaker 1: eight you okay, and they would be able to read
Speaker 1: that and understand it. But your computer or iPhone or
Speaker 1: whatever can't. That's a good point. I just don't know
Speaker 1: how quickly they'll overcome that sort of thing or find
Speaker 1: workarounds or whatever. But it's it's an interesting question. More
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley controversy. After a momentary message from her friends
Speaker 1: at Trust and Will, do not do this to the
Speaker 1: people you love, leave your wishes undocumented when inevitably you
Speaker 1: go to meet your maker, especially when Trust and Will
Speaker 1: can create and manage a customer state plan with you
Speaker 1: starting at one hundred and ninety nine dollars. It's so inexpensive.
Speaker 1: She could jump on this program today. Step by step process,
Speaker 1: they walk you through. You start putting in all the
Speaker 1: information like your address, Hey groc, can you fill this in?
Speaker 1: And if you get snagged on anything at all, they've
Speaker 1: got live customer support chat, phone or email to answer questions.
Speaker 1: It's built to follow your state's laws wherever you live.
Speaker 1: It's really quite amazing. Yeah, And as a guy who's
Speaker 1: in communication with folks in the legal community, I will
Speaker 1: tell you this battles over estates and stuff. They rip
Speaker 1: families apart. It's really important to do the secure your assets,
Speaker 1: protect your loved ones. With Trust and Will get twenty
Speaker 1: percent off your state plan documents, if by visiting trustinwill
Speaker 1: dot com slash armstrong, that's trust and will dot com
Speaker 1: slash armstrong. So I'm going to the Met, for instance,
Speaker 1: the big art museum in New York, and my kids
Speaker 1: are getting really tired chat GPT, I just say, where
Speaker 1: do I go to see the most? Van Goes? I
Speaker 1: didn't see where we were because I'd had that conversation
Speaker 1: earlier with it about how do we get to the Met,
Speaker 1: so it knew what the conversation was. So I just said,
Speaker 1: where do I go to see the most? Bengos? That
Speaker 1: said go up to the third floor, numbers eight twenty
Speaker 1: two through eight twenty five. I mean, that's just amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is. That's crazy. Huh. And there's all kinds of
Speaker 1: examples of that. Again, if you're not using it, men,
Speaker 1: you should start. By the way, the past tense of
Speaker 1: van Goes is actually van Wentz. Anyway, you know, we
Speaker 1: don't really have time for this next story. I'll give
Speaker 1: you the very short version of this, and it's very
Speaker 1: inside Silicon Valley, but it points to an ongoing fight
Speaker 1: in American society. You got this guy, Sean McGuire. He's
Speaker 1: thirty nine years old. He's a zillionaire. He's a big
Speaker 1: contributor to a private equity fund. Is that what they are,
Speaker 1: Sequoa Capital, And they're a super giant financier of things
Speaker 1: technical and futuristic and blah blah blah. And if you're
Speaker 1: in that world, you're more than familiar with them. They
Speaker 1: manage more than sixty billion dollars, top tier venture capital firm.
Speaker 1: This guy is he's ses A and G material for sure.
Speaker 1: Sean McGuire shout out if you're listening. He posted about
Speaker 1: Zorn Mumdani, the communist Islamist jackass who may well be
Speaker 1: the next mayor of New York City. McGuire chimed in
Speaker 1: on the New York City mayoral candidate, a Democratic socialist
Speaker 1: who is Muslim, calling mundanmi On Islamist who comes from
Speaker 1: a culture that lies about everything. And he's spent the
Speaker 1: days since sparring with ex posters in Silicon Valley types.
Speaker 1: And now the left is mobilized trying to get Sequoia
Speaker 1: his employer, to get rid of him or silence him
Speaker 1: or whatever. And it's an interesting fight. It includes a
Speaker 1: number of like big time CEOs of Indian descent, because Mundani,
Speaker 1: the African American which I want to talk about, is
Speaker 1: actually of Indian descent. Is Indian parents just ended up
Speaker 1: in Uganda. But it's really quite the fight. Now, can
Speaker 1: you express something that's a little that's out there? Referring
Speaker 1: to India as a culture that lies about everything? That
Speaker 1: is not the first time I have heard that allegation
Speaker 1: about Indian business culture. Really, anything about exception is viewed
Speaker 1: differently there than it is in the United States. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: But anyway, you're seeing more and more people saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't care what you think. Here's what I think
Speaker 1: on the right side of the aisle, and I love it.
Speaker 1: His ideas are bad. Subjective to the light of day,
Speaker 1: they won't last. How is it going me trying to
Speaker 1: get rid of RBF? If you suffer from RBF, you
Speaker 1: should stay tuned because I've learned some things about that.
Speaker 1: We've got mail bag on the way. Also, stay here.
Speaker 1: Guy through the slowest pitch of Major League Baseball season
Speaker 1: this year night, in an attempt to get out of
Speaker 1: a game in which it was a blowout and everybody
Speaker 1: wanted to be over, he threw a thirty four mile
Speaker 1: an hour pitch, which wouldn't be easy to do. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's uh yeah, that's it doesn't have enough steam to
Speaker 1: get to the place, right. Yeah. Yeah, here's your freedom
Speaker 1: loving quota the day. Continuing our series of the great
Speaker 1: Thomas Sowel celebrating his ninety fifth birthday while we were
Speaker 1: on vacation. So many choices, I'll go with this one today.
Speaker 1: People who pride themselves on their complexity and derit others
Speaker 1: for being simplistic should realize that the truth is often
Speaker 1: not very complicated. What gets complex is evading the truth.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good one, right there, Yes, sir, Yes, sir.
Speaker 1: Mailbag drops a note mail Bag at Armstrong and Geddy
Speaker 1: dot com. I love this from Alnonymous at the Sea Ranch,
Speaker 1: beautiful little community northern California on the Ocean. I have
Speaker 1: stayed there many times. Yeah yeah, I'd thought about buying
Speaker 1: some real estate there once upon a time, but what
Speaker 1: was holding back was I didn't have nearly enough money anyway,
Speaker 1: Al rights, I find the best definition of maturity to
Speaker 1: be doing what you want to do, even if your
Speaker 1: mother wants you to do it. That's a great definition
Speaker 1: of maturity anyway, just thinking about it, taking it in yes,
Speaker 1: I am ruminating it. In yes, I mean the obvious is,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to do what I want. And
Speaker 1: if your mother says I think that's a great idea,
Speaker 1: you say, well, I'm not doing it. You're not mature.
Speaker 1: But then he makes his ultimate point. Unfortunately, the left
Speaker 1: isn't mature enough to acknowledge wanting anything that Trump's Trump
Speaker 1: puts in place, even if they believe it's a good idea.
Speaker 1: Order security, sending illegal aliens who are violent criminals out
Speaker 1: of the US, requiring able bodied, non child bearing adults
Speaker 1: on Medicaid work for their benefit, destroying your on's ability
Speaker 1: to create a nuclear warhead. The list is long. Come on, Left,
Speaker 1: it's time to grow up. I was thinking of examples
Speaker 1: of my high schooler who does a number of things
Speaker 1: that are self defeating, but it's part of his whole
Speaker 1: rebelling against the man thing that you have to do
Speaker 1: when you're that age. Well, right, exactly. You know I've
Speaker 1: told the story before, and we should do a mail bag,
Speaker 1: but I can't resist. I was. I can picture the
Speaker 1: very intersection my dad and I were at stop sign
Speaker 1: on the way back to high school. It's probably my
Speaker 1: junior year or so, going back for some ballgame or something,
Speaker 1: and he was talking about college and I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe I don't want to go to college, and he said, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's up to you. I well, I, oh, no, I
Speaker 1: guess I'll go to college. The one my son is
Speaker 1: he's always talking about how lady's gonna stay up, and
Speaker 1: then he got stuff to do the next day. I'm like,
Speaker 1: how is this going to benefit you? Well, you're not
Speaker 1: doing anything. Why is sting up late gonna make it?
Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna step as late as I want. Okay,
Speaker 1: got it moving along. WNBA observation writes Dan and Frog's Breath,
Speaker 1: North Carolina. You know I've spent many any happy days. Indeed,
Speaker 1: I lived at one time in North Carolina. I don't
Speaker 1: recall visiting the friendly environs of Frogs Breath anyway, he says, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: the story the other day about Caitlin Clark finishing ninth
Speaker 1: in the player's All Star vote is evidence that the
Speaker 1: nineteenth Amendment was a terrible idea should be repealed. Sorry, Katie,
Speaker 1: Oh good lord. He wants to deny to write a
Speaker 1: woman to vote? Dan, Come on, maybe that sort of
Speaker 1: attitude passes in Frog's breath. Not on this show, certainly not,
Speaker 1: Robert writes, guys, Tuesday's discussion on gender Benning madness reminded
Speaker 1: me of my own identity disorder. See. I was born
Speaker 1: in North America, but sometimes I identify as Central American
Speaker 1: or South American. You see, I'm actually trans American. That
Speaker 1: in my mind? Will so that in mind? Will California
Speaker 1: allow me to have my gender as trans am on
Speaker 1: my license? Can I get a racing stripe and a
Speaker 1: phoenix tattoo on my chest paid for by medical as
Speaker 1: gender affirming care. I think he's trying to point out
Speaker 1: how absurd all of that is. You are what you are,
Speaker 1: no matter what you say.
Speaker 3: You are.
Speaker 1: Jared and Mississippi totally different topic on the Epstein list.
Speaker 1: I'm losing confidence with this administration. Everyone knows Epstein didn't
Speaker 1: hang himself, and now the gas lighting continues, just like
Speaker 1: under Biden. It's Jared and Missouri. I got this from
Speaker 1: Patty coincidental that Net and Yahoo nominated Trump for the
Speaker 1: Nobel Peace Prize the day after Trump squashed the Epstein case.
Speaker 1: The Masad and CIA used Epstein to blackmail politicians and
Speaker 1: political leaders. He was given free rein to do whatever
Speaker 1: evil atrocities he could dream up. The public won't let
Speaker 1: the story die because of the thousands of children that
Speaker 1: have been trafficked. Rexwell was convicted given twenty years. She
Speaker 1: should be freed because nothing happened here. Bongino, Patel and
Speaker 1: BONDI are obeying orders from Trump. Yeah, I forgot to
Speaker 1: bring that aspect of it everybody, those of you, because
Speaker 1: I know if you who are really into the Epstein thing,
Speaker 1: it's all about the hundreds of thousands of children that
Speaker 1: have been trafficked for sex by the Democratic Party in
Speaker 1: Hollywood and my number of other people. Yeah, totally different topic.
Speaker 1: We are trying to come up with an only fans
Speaker 1: gimmick because it's not all sacks, and we came up
Speaker 1: with Jack building birdhouses while wearing a female cheerleader outfit.
Speaker 1: And boy, the response from you folks has been overwhelmingly positive.
Speaker 1: A number of subscribers have already identified themselves Jack, so
Speaker 1: have had it. Wow, Wow, I should launch that today.
Speaker 1: All I need is the cheerleading outfit some lumber in
Speaker 1: a couple of hours. Sounds like a great idea. Get
Speaker 1: me doing it. I love it. Um, so we're sending
Speaker 1: Patriot missile batteries to Ukraine now, hmm our two. We'll
Speaker 1: get into that. If you miss it, get the podcast
