<v Speaker 1>of our general manager Trump looking at Ukraine. What's looking

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>at Israel? I'm looking at tariffs. I'm looking at going

0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>after the University's trumpety Trump Trump, Yeah, good board. I

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:06.559
<v Speaker 1>know things are moving, They're shaken. No more status quot

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>train the swamp. Jack's not down for it. He'd look

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>at him with his cynicism and his eye rolling. Is

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>all right? Time to take on the beast. Time to

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>take on the beast. Here's you with us? Are you

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.559
<v Speaker 1>with the beast? Here's the most interesting thing I've heard today?

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh good, just heard it. Long discussion on MSNBC of

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>all places, which if you don't watch cable news, and

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>good for you, you shouldn't, and neither neither do any

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>of your friends or anybody else. Really, So why we

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>still talk about it. I have no idea because nobody's

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>watching these shows. But anyway, MSNBC with talking about an

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Atlantic article. Atlantic also left leaning publication, both highly distraught

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>over the amount of land China has purchased around our

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>military bases in the United States. Now we've talked about

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>this before, but the fact that MSNBC and The Atlantic

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>are saying, holy crap, look how much of land China

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>has purchased around military installations in the United States of America,

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:16.079
<v Speaker 1>given these recent drone attacks from Israel on Iran and

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine on Russia. So that leads me to believe that's

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 1>a real, real story. Not that I didn't think it

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>was real anyway, but it is really a real story.

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm interested in the ideological dynamics of that. I happened

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>to just be thinking about Marxism, both in the twentieth

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>century and today before we went on in reference to

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Mom Dannie and some stuff going on in universities, and

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 1>there's one more story that we'll get to later, and

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>thinking about the Marxists who were just ideologically Marxists in

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>the twenty first in the twentieth century, and those who

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>were actual agents of the Soviet Union and I've got

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to admit to hear the pretty far left of American

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.519
<v Speaker 1>politics making noises about, hey, we've go to be on

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>the against these damn comedies. That's heartening in a way. Surprised,

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>it's beyond heartening. But that's a hell of a story. Man.

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>You talk about we are we're just such a we're

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.239
<v Speaker 1>the big dog. We've always been the big big dog,

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>will always be the big dog. Whatever I mean that

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 1>just we're so that whatever you call that, and combine

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>that with the naivete of, look, we'll be nice to

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>them and they'll be nice to us, of course, because

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>that's how people act. How in the hell did the

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 1>United States of America allow Chinese businesses which is the

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Chinese Communist Party. I guess people didn't understand that at

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>the time in their laws. Yes, you're not allowed to

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>be a company that doesn't do what the Communist Party

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 1>wants you to do. So okay, so you're uh, I

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>was gonna use some fake Chinese name, but I'd probably

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 1>get myself into trouble. You're you're you're Bill Jones in

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>a Chinese name, and you're on a I don't know,

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a sandwich corporation whatever you do. You bought a bunch

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>of land around a military base in the United States

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 1>of America and the comedy Party tells you, hey, we're

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna put a whole bunch of containers shipping containers on

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>your land. You don't have an option of saying no,

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>you're not. What are you going to put in them?

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about it, exactly. So we have shipping containers

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.840
<v Speaker 1>full of drones around all our military installations the United

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>States on land China purchased long ago, and we allowed

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.160
<v Speaker 1>them to do it pretty much. Okay, it's just an

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 1>agricultural company. It's an agricultural company based at Shada. It's

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 1>just agriculture. Wow. Lord wow. Joshcarborough is even talking about

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 1>we got to do something about that eminent domain or something.

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>But we can't. We can't let them have that land around,

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>no kidding, that's right, sir. What percentage of people and

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>or institutions are hip to the whole Michael Pillsbury on

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred Year Marathon, the evolution and thinking about China. I

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>suppose a fair number are because Trump made such a

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.839
<v Speaker 1>big deal of it, But there are still I guess

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>my point is there are still large sectors of the

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>American economy, especially are our business community that still think

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>of China ninety percent as a market and are dimly

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>aware that it's a hostile power bent on our overthrow,

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 1>but just dimly well, the American people are there. The

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>recent polling is it went from like fifteen percent to

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>now like ninety percent of Americans who think China is

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 1>our enemy. But in terms of business and government, I

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know. That's a let's have a national vote right now,

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:37.599
<v Speaker 1>that's not a thing really on these as. We don't

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 1>have propositions in America, like for instance, Couo, Unicornia. But

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.280
<v Speaker 1>let's have a national proposition. Let's take back all the

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>land within one hundred and seventy five miles probably ought

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>to be five hundred miles of any military installation owned

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 1>by any Chinese entity. We'll pay for it as a people.

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Then we'll sell it to some nice couple from Maine

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. For some reason, it's some constitutional

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>let's have a vote. Anybody care about that? No, okay, sorry,

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 1>in the case of China, it doesn't matter. We're taking

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the land back. Yeah, yeah, and you know the call

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court, they'll say, yeah, kind of busy. We'll

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 1>call you back. Why don't you go ahead and we'll

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>let you know. Everybody agrees. So that's a troubling thing. U.

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 1>We can get into some of the details later. Here's

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the second most exciting thing I've heard today. I'm sorry

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 1>before we get to that, Michael, did you just have

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>your head in your hands? Yeah, I'm fine, guys, I'm

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.799
<v Speaker 1>just dealing with the cold a little bit. Okay. Oh okay,

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>it looks like you were despairing and I thought the

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 1>show had been that bad. No, no, no, we're good. Okay,

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, good. Back to the second most interesting thing.

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 1>You have a cold, Michael. Oh, yeah, yeah, the wife

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 1>came home with something miserable. Blaming on the wife. Stick

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>in my little my little booth here. Good. I do

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>blame it on on the wife though. That'll make you

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.559
<v Speaker 1>feel a little better. Um, she gave you a cold,

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 1>probably out of malice.

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.600
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about this for years. The common cold, because

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>it is so common, is unappreciated for how miserable it

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 1>makes you feel when you're in the midst of a cold.

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 1>If you didn't know you had a cold, you'd go

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital because you feel so horrible. It is

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the paper cut of illnesses. It won't kill you, but

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 1>it's miserable, the paper cut of illnesses. The other story

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>most interesting to me today that we don't need to

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>spend a lot of time on because it's obvious what

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 1>it is. But Gavin Newsom is the governor of California,

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>is in South Carolina meeting voters. Oh that's funny. What

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>the hell is going on? And as I saw one

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>cable news host point out, I just did some googling around,

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 1>there are no direct flights between Sacramento and Columbia, South Carolina,

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>so he must have put some effort in getting there.

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>And not only that, he was introduced by Congressman Clyburn,

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the guy who got Joe Biden the nomination in two thousands.

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Well he saved the Democrats winning the election, but he

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>introduced Gavin Lane nine said, I think this guy's got

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a really good chance. So he's got Cliburn on his

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>side at least, so that's a pretty big deal. Run

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Kevin fries In any way. But Gavin Newsom is clearly

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 1>for one thousand percent. His life every day is about

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>how do I get the nomination to run? Clearly Gavin,

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>whose administration just said, no way, will we stop letting

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>men compete in girls' sports in California. We're counter suing

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Justice. We're going for justice for trans

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, you know that that's all good stuff to

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 1>throw at him. I don't think you need any of that.

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>All you gotta do is drive around with your cell

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>phone out the window. I could do it right now,

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.199
<v Speaker 1>Literally could do it right now. Hanson. You've seen it

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>out from over on Arden because I know you drive

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that way too. What is that pile of refuse? What

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.080
<v Speaker 1>is that garbage and tents and bikes? Have you seen that? Michael?

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>It's incredible. It's like a mountain. Now, how big is

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that gonna get? Before anybody does it? Anything about it?

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Right across from one of the nicer malls. With all

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I think I may have designed the perfect anti Gavin

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.199
<v Speaker 1>ad that will run in every market in America over

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and over and over again. And it was actually a

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>retweet of a picture run by the fabulous folks at

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the California Globe, as I recall, But it's a picture

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 1>of a bunch of junkies sprawled out amidst all their

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>garbage and their needles and crap on a street corner

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 1>happen to be Capitol Avenue with the state capitol in

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.679
<v Speaker 1>the background. I captioned it, the California dream can be

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 1>yours all across America. Vote, Gavin Newsom, How do you

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>beat that?

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Ad?

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I could pick We're in Sacramento, the capitol of California.

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I could pick a number of streets today, drive down

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 1>there with my cell phone out making video. That would

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.080
<v Speaker 1>ruin his chances of being the president of the United States,

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 1>because how do you explain that? Right? Anyway? Let's start

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>all challenge all fall short sometimes, yeah, we do. We've

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 1>had how homelessness is come to California and we're fighting

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>it with innovative tools. What the hell is He's getting

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the money and the programs. Nobody's more upset about this

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>than me. What the hell's going on? That was? That

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>was about? That was about homelessness. He looks we need

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.679
<v Speaker 1>our local leaders to take control. What the hell's going on?

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 1>You phony, you con man, you criminal? He laughed. I laughed.

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Getty on this It is Wednesday, July night. There twenty

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.079
<v Speaker 1>twenty five were armstrong and getty, and we approve of

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 1>this program. Let's begin then officially, according to FCC rules

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.440
<v Speaker 1>and regulations, the show starts at mark.

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:37.079
<v Speaker 3>For twenty years, the big lie was that this kind

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 3>of immigration didn't hurt working people. Now economists to come

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.079
<v Speaker 3>out and said, oh, what a surprise. Even the laws

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 3>of supplying demand work in the low end labor market.

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.440
<v Speaker 3>So I talk about in that editorial what I call

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 3>parallel prosperity that for years Wall Street has done well.

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.439
<v Speaker 3>Now it's time for Main Street to do well. And

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 3>they can both do well. And that's the one big

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 3>beautiful bill. That's the beauty of this. It helps Wall

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:05.959
<v Speaker 3>Street and Main Street.

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>All juxtaposition at Wall Street and Main Street should be illegal.

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.199
<v Speaker 1>The First Amendment should be limited in that way. It's

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 1>just so trite. But finally people are saying, well, of course,

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:26.559
<v Speaker 1>importing huge amounts of underpriced anything undermines the price of

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>what's in the market, including people. Of course it does.

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 1>What was the premise of that? I lost the premise

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>of that. The premise is for twenty years, the lie

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 1>was that immigration did not hurt working people. Rampant illegal immigration,

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>even though you're left. He left. He's like Bernie were

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 1>saying that all along. Yeah, interestingly enough, Yeah he was.

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I just was looking at this New York Times article

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 1>about what's it called, something about, oh, can Democrats find

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 1>their way on immigration? And they talked to all sorts

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 1>of reasonable folks with reasonable pinions, and then they come

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:10.079
<v Speaker 1>to Iana Presley, Communist representative of Massachusetts. Quote, Democrats have

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.319
<v Speaker 1>to stop talking about the issue of immigration with in

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.079
<v Speaker 1>a republican frame. This has nothing to do with law

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and order. This is about power control, terror, and it

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.439
<v Speaker 1>is about racism and xenophobia. Donald Trump wants to make

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>America Jim Crow again. And then some so those people,

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.319
<v Speaker 1>those Congress people still exist in the Democratic Party. Okay,

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:30.959
<v Speaker 1>we got to take a break. We got some Trump

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 1>was asked about Epstein yesterday and his two hour press

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 1>conference that he had answering every question about everything in

0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the world, but he got asked about Epstein and it

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.959
<v Speaker 1>came up, and that's pretty entertaining. Among other things. On

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>the way, we got Katie's headlines next here. Don't miss

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>it if you missed the segment yesterday on how I'm

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to get rid of RBF and have a pleasant

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>look on my face. I have an update on that. Oh,

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I got a few texts about that my personal life.

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 3>It is.

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 1>The struggle is real, but I think it can be done. Wow.

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm fascinated by this or more to come, But first

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 1>let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 1>with Katie Green Katie.

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Starting with ABC the headline that's everywhere so far one

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 2>hundred and ten dead in Texas and one hundred and

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 2>sixty one missing in Kirk County.

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was the big update yesterday that nobody knew

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:25.199
<v Speaker 1>there were one hundred and sixty one people still missing

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and nobody's expecting to find them alive anyway. Wow. Often

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.319
<v Speaker 1>the missing thing is just they haven't checked in or

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the right people haven't checked in with them. But in

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>this case, yeah, they have a bad feeling. Yeah, that's something.

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 2>CNN sources say. Hag Seth did not inform the White

0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 2>House before he authorized the pause on weapons shipments to Ukraine.

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 1>This is an interesting, damn story. Trump was asked about

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 1>this yesterday about the pause and weapons to Ukraine. He said,

0:13:56.320 --> 0:14:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't authorize that, and now everybody's like, Okay, who

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:05.840
<v Speaker 1>did and are they in trouble or what's happening there? Right? Wow,

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.679
<v Speaker 1>that speaks to a bit of a problem in the

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.200
<v Speaker 1>old flow chart there in the administration. Yeah, I've got

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm intrigued by the idea of we're running short of

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 1>necessary armaments. That's worth discussing. But yeah, I've got the

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>who did it and why? Uh for you later. But

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 1>it's it's pretty interesting. And the other interesting part is

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>that Trump decided to end that press conference in front

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>of everyone at a cabinet meeting, you know, let the

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>world know. No, I didn't do that, somebody else did.

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, well, because you know, sorry, while he was

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.240
<v Speaker 2>sitting shoulder to shoulder with hegsat right, I mean, that's

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 2>throwing a stink bomb out there.

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 2>From the Washington Post, Supreme Court allows Trump to launch

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.280
<v Speaker 2>mass layoff and restructuring plans.

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was another one of those no we're not

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 1>going to stop them deals. They didn't rule specifically on

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the firings as a procedural thing, but yeah, it's fun.

0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 1>And the idea that well, no, you can't ever fi

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 1>or government employees. Where hell did that idea come from? Well?

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 2>The Union from the New York Times confronted over the

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Epstein files Trump and Bondietael supporters to move on.

0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is a web of Pam's own weaving. Really,

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 1>we can talk about that more later. But if you're

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 1>a believer that Trump might be on that list, you know,

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty easy to craft a reason for them to

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 1>say move on. It will come up in mailbag. Stay

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>with us, okay.

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 2>USA Today Elon musk Ai chat Butt Grock praises Hitler

0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 2>and posts anti Semitic tropes.

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh I want to read. Yeah, I want to get

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>to that story. It's uh, it's nutty. Oh wow, troubling. Oh,

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm fast. I'm really really interested in that sort of stuff.

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to hear that.

0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 2>From the New York Post, Convicted murderer Derrick Groves eludes

0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 2>law enforcement as he remains the last New Orleans jail

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 2>escape on the run.

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I heard that today. There's one guy still out there,

0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:10.920
<v Speaker 1>out there. He's a cold blooded murderer. Also, yeah, study

0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 1>finds he had he had the girlfriend inside, that she

0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:16.160
<v Speaker 1>she was the one that helped them get out. He

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 1>had he and the two of them were dating. Apparently.

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's nice.

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Study finds ancient dating tips to find modern love avoid

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 2>bad breath, do your hair, and don't pick partners while drunk.

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Advice. Yeah, well probably I love that story. More on

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>that later.

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 2>And finally from the Babylon Bee, Furious Gavin Newsom says

0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 2>he won't stand silently by while Trump fixes California.

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Mm ah, I love it. Even on MSNBC they were

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 1>talking about Gavin Newsom has some quality of life problems

0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 1>in California that will be difficult to explain to voters.

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:06.200
<v Speaker 1>That was on MSNBC, right right. I just I can't

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.120
<v Speaker 1>wait for that to begin. I hope I lived long

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 1>enough to see Gavin Newsom's presidential run. It will be

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.760
<v Speaker 1>so satisfying. I think you're going to be dead within

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.400
<v Speaker 1>two years. I just I'm humble about these things. God

0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 1>is willing. I will laugh at his demise. Okay, we

0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.640
<v Speaker 1>got a lot more on the way. Stay here, Armstrong

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 1>and Getty.

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 4>Scientists are resorting to once unthinkable solutions to cool the planet,

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.440
<v Speaker 4>like dumping chemicals in the ocean, sprang salt water into clouds,

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 4>and injecting reflective particles into the sky. It's all published

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:41.760
<v Speaker 4>in the New England Journal of screw Up. We're just

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 4>throwing stuff at the wall, what happens if we blow.

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:51.719
<v Speaker 1>Up the moon? So Trump was asked about the pause

0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and shipment of weapons to Ukraine yesterday and he said

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't authorize that, and that started quite a conversation

0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:03.200
<v Speaker 1>about Okay, who did and why. I think the answer

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.600
<v Speaker 1>is out there and we are resuming. Trump has said

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 1>that Trump's angrier Putin than he has certainly ever expressed

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 1>publicly ever, And this is a developing story, so probably

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 1>get into that an hour or two. Anybody with any

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 1>familiarity with Trump can figure out where this is heading.

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 1>He is through with Putin and personally angered by him.

0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, yeah, stay tuned. This is an odd, odd story.

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:34.040
<v Speaker 1>A couple of stories from Silicon Valley Grock, which is

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:38.439
<v Speaker 1>the chatbot. It's the it's the chat GPT of Elon

0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Musk's ex family, and a number of people like it

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.879
<v Speaker 1>very much. We've had listeners say, dude, you ought to

0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.640
<v Speaker 1>try this one. It's really good. Yeah, yeah, I shouldn't

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>just rest on chat gpt because I'm so happy with it.

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing. I just it's freaking amazing. But I should

0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.000
<v Speaker 1>try the other ones. And a couple of yeah, a

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>couple of my favorite writers keep mentioning Claude being very

0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I can even remember who's that. Don't know that I

0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:06.480
<v Speaker 1>like having one that has a name. I know, don't

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.160
<v Speaker 1>you know the whole give him, don't give him human names.

0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Like yesterday late in the show, we were talking about

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:17.199
<v Speaker 1>this gut Health ripoff company. Sorry, that's allegedly in quotes

0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, defensible first Amendment. Get your lawyers off of me.

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:26.880
<v Speaker 1>But they call themselves Zelli DEALI well, not Gut Health

0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:31.119
<v Speaker 1>amalgamated or What's in your guts or something else, Sali,

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Why is it a chick's name? Why? Well, I'll tell

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you why. I think these people are trying to lead

0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 1>us down the path of feeling like these are human

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:47.760
<v Speaker 1>beings we're talking to and developing personal relationships with non humanities.

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.400
<v Speaker 1>That's what they're trying to do. Yes, let's all move

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>to the uncanny valley anyway, getting back to the story,

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:59.639
<v Speaker 1>So you got your grac It published a number of

0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:03.920
<v Speaker 1>ant hy semitic posts Tuesday, It's second flurry of controversial

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 1>responses to users in recent months. Wait a minute, what

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>do you mean? It published a number of posts? Wes,

0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 1>what that whole sentences? Mystifies me? What on we go.

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>In a series of viral posts on x GROC started

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 1>to call itself Mecha Hitler, as in mechanical Hitler. So

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 1>there's sometimes Groc up late at night and like elon

0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:29.720
<v Speaker 1>himself or Trump or other people or other people. It

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 1>would have been me back in the day. You know,

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:32.919
<v Speaker 1>if you had a few drink, it's a long day,

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>you're a little frustrated with the world, and you just

0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 1>start firing crap off. I don't know does GROC do that?

0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Is Groc drinking whiskey or snorting silicon chips or what?

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:46.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. So the chat bot or mecha Hitler

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 1>suggested that an account called rad Reflections was a person

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:54.000
<v Speaker 1>named Cindy Steinberg who was celebrating the deaths of dozens

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:57.080
<v Speaker 1>of children went missing a mystic in Texas, but it

0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 1>start going after because of her last name. It called Steinberger.

0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Radical said she was happy that a group of future

0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:07.159
<v Speaker 1>fascists had perished in the Texas flood camp. Myssed it

0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:09.359
<v Speaker 1>well known as a camp for the children of the

0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.399
<v Speaker 1>state's political elite. I guess Groc's responses seized on the

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 1>user's surname as the grounds for their stance on the issue.

0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Quote classic case of hatred, dressed up his activism and

0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 1>that surname every damn time, as they say. Groc posted

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:27.520
<v Speaker 1>at one thirty eight pm. In another post, Groc said

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 1>to deal with such viole anti white hate Adolf Hitler,

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 1>no question, he'd spot the pattern and handle it decisively.

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:36.280
<v Speaker 3>What what.

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:42.399
<v Speaker 1>Did has Elon responded to this?

0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:43.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like no, GROC back in your cage. Yeah, yeah,

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 1>it's a I can't His comment is here a XAI

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.239
<v Speaker 1>said it was working to remove the posts and had

0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 1>taken action to ban hate speech before Groc posts on

0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:05.680
<v Speaker 1>x But Elon is the guy who said which which

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.879
<v Speaker 1>AI went on some sort of woke rant it was

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Google's and and Elon himself said, they're gonna have to

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 1>strip that down to the bottom because that is clearly

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:20.880
<v Speaker 1>an example of you know, they've they've got a particular

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 1>attitude running through their entire company that has gotten into

0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 1>their AI, and that's going to be it's gonna you

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 1>have to remove a lot of people to get rid

0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:33.360
<v Speaker 1>of that. Well, is that true now of his organization? Yeah?

0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:35.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I guess it was a couple of

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.200
<v Speaker 1>months ago. Groc posted about the white genocide of non

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:42.720
<v Speaker 1>black South Africans in response to prompts wholly unrelated to

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 1>the topic. Why are all of these AI bots like

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:52.119
<v Speaker 1>your least hinged friend who doesn't know when to keep

0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 1>their mouth shut? Trunk uncle, Yeah, yeah, well it has

0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:00.359
<v Speaker 1>no I'd better not say that. Philter Ich, Yes, and

0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:05.360
<v Speaker 1>in you know, it's it's reading everything and absorbing everything,

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:09.440
<v Speaker 1>right that starting point thinks it's appropriate to say to

0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:13.720
<v Speaker 1>deal with such viole anti white hate Hateolf Hitler no question. Yeah,

0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:17.200
<v Speaker 1>he's about the pattern and handle it decisively. That's pretty interesting.

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:18.119
<v Speaker 1>Whoa whoa whoa No.

0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:18.800
<v Speaker 3>No no no no no.

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.159
<v Speaker 1>We don't like look to Hitler as an example of

0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:24.639
<v Speaker 1>good things Kroc No no, no, no.

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:24.920
<v Speaker 3>No no no.

0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 1>So that's interesting And I'm wondering if they're having those

0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 1>these conversations. If they're not, they certainly should be. Hey,

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:31.920
<v Speaker 1>those of you work in Silicon Valley. Are you talking

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 1>about this? So the fact that these AI things, these

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:41.960
<v Speaker 1>language learning models, everything they get comes from online. I

0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 1>mean that expression he's too online or she's too online

0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:50.120
<v Speaker 1>is about the culture of being online. Is weird. It's

0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:53.200
<v Speaker 1>not the way any normal person talks. You're way, way

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:57.440
<v Speaker 1>more snarky and aggressive and and all kinds of bad

0:23:57.520 --> 0:24:00.480
<v Speaker 1>things online than you are in real life. All know that.

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 1>But so if these AI bots are are learning about

0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:08.199
<v Speaker 1>humans from only from Twitter and Facebook and all these

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 1>different things, of course that's the way they're going to talk. Well,

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:13.439
<v Speaker 1>they're not only learning about humans from that, but it's

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:15.440
<v Speaker 1>part of the st They aren't sitting around listening to

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:19.400
<v Speaker 1>normal conversations. They aren't sitting around listening to human beings

0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:24.159
<v Speaker 1>interact driving in the car or sitting around the lunch table. Right,

0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:27.240
<v Speaker 1>it's all published material, so they aren't going to have

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:31.000
<v Speaker 1>any real understanding of the way people don't talk that

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:34.760
<v Speaker 1>way Grock or Chat, GPT or whoever's saying these that's

0:24:34.800 --> 0:24:38.680
<v Speaker 1>not the way normal people actually interact. Yeah. Yeah, when

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:40.399
<v Speaker 1>we were on vacation, the Wall Street Journal had a

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:44.240
<v Speaker 1>big story about several big time CEOs, I mean, like huge,

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.159
<v Speaker 1>giant corporation CEOs. We're starting to be a little more

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>open about Yeah. Yeah, AI is going to eliminate many,

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:53.680
<v Speaker 1>many thousands of jobs around here. We're just figuring out

0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 1>where and when any So that's becoming more and moretant.

0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:00.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's always been undeniable. All you have to

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>do is use it a couple of times and start

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>to picture the sort of you know, like bottom third

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 1>of whatever profession, that those jobs will go away. That's

0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 1>going to be an enormous political economic shock. But any yeah,

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I run into situations every day where

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:19.959
<v Speaker 1>I think we're a long way from AI taking over

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 1>the world, just because like every time I have to

0:25:22.640 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 1>fill out something online with my address, I think we're

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:28.240
<v Speaker 1>a long way from AI taking over. The fact that

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm putting my address in this box for the eight

0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 1>millionth time in my life and that isn't automatic means

0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:38.720
<v Speaker 1>we're a ways away. Or the fact that if I

0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:45.160
<v Speaker 1>type into anything you okay, letter, you okay, question mark,

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and it changes it to I, so it doesn't recognize

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 1>you as something you could use as a word, doesn't

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:57.919
<v Speaker 1>understand that you okay actually is kind of grammatically okay,

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:01.399
<v Speaker 1>whereas I okay is not. I mean, So, just things

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:04.080
<v Speaker 1>like that makes me think now we're quite a way's way,

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>because that you could show anybody over the age of

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 1>eight you okay, and they would be able to read

0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:15.040
<v Speaker 1>that and understand it. But your computer or iPhone or

0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:19.119
<v Speaker 1>whatever can't. That's a good point. I just don't know

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:21.400
<v Speaker 1>how quickly they'll overcome that sort of thing or find

0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:25.880
<v Speaker 1>workarounds or whatever. But it's it's an interesting question. More

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Silicon Valley controversy. After a momentary message from her friends

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:33.680
<v Speaker 1>at Trust and Will, do not do this to the

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:39.200
<v Speaker 1>people you love, leave your wishes undocumented when inevitably you

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:43.000
<v Speaker 1>go to meet your maker, especially when Trust and Will

0:26:43.400 --> 0:26:45.879
<v Speaker 1>can create and manage a customer state plan with you

0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:50.200
<v Speaker 1>starting at one hundred and ninety nine dollars. It's so inexpensive.

0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 1>She could jump on this program today. Step by step process,

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:55.879
<v Speaker 1>they walk you through. You start putting in all the

0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:58.879
<v Speaker 1>information like your address, Hey groc, can you fill this in?

0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:02.880
<v Speaker 1>And if you get snagged on anything at all, they've

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:06.399
<v Speaker 1>got live customer support chat, phone or email to answer questions.

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:10.200
<v Speaker 1>It's built to follow your state's laws wherever you live.

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 1>It's really quite amazing. Yeah, And as a guy who's

0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 1>in communication with folks in the legal community, I will

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 1>tell you this battles over estates and stuff. They rip

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:25.639
<v Speaker 1>families apart. It's really important to do the secure your assets,

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 1>protect your loved ones. With Trust and Will get twenty

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:31.520
<v Speaker 1>percent off your state plan documents, if by visiting trustinwill

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:34.960
<v Speaker 1>dot com slash armstrong, that's trust and will dot com

0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 1>slash armstrong. So I'm going to the Met, for instance,

0:27:38.600 --> 0:27:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the big art museum in New York, and my kids

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:48.200
<v Speaker 1>are getting really tired chat GPT, I just say, where

0:27:48.240 --> 0:27:51.639
<v Speaker 1>do I go to see the most? Van Goes? I

0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:54.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't see where we were because I'd had that conversation

0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:56.520
<v Speaker 1>earlier with it about how do we get to the Met,

0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:59.480
<v Speaker 1>so it knew what the conversation was. So I just said,

0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 1>where do I go to see the most? Bengos? That

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:04.600
<v Speaker 1>said go up to the third floor, numbers eight twenty

0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:08.800
<v Speaker 1>two through eight twenty five. I mean, that's just amazing. Yeah,

0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 1>that is. That's crazy. Huh. And there's all kinds of

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:14.760
<v Speaker 1>examples of that. Again, if you're not using it, men,

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:17.760
<v Speaker 1>you should start. By the way, the past tense of

0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:22.240
<v Speaker 1>van Goes is actually van Wentz. Anyway, you know, we

0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:25.000
<v Speaker 1>don't really have time for this next story. I'll give

0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you the very short version of this, and it's very

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:31.600
<v Speaker 1>inside Silicon Valley, but it points to an ongoing fight

0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:35.760
<v Speaker 1>in American society. You got this guy, Sean McGuire. He's

0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine years old. He's a zillionaire. He's a big

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:42.959
<v Speaker 1>contributor to a private equity fund. Is that what they are,

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Sequoa Capital, And they're a super giant financier of things

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:54.040
<v Speaker 1>technical and futuristic and blah blah blah. And if you're

0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:56.920
<v Speaker 1>in that world, you're more than familiar with them. They

0:28:57.000 --> 0:29:01.480
<v Speaker 1>manage more than sixty billion dollars, top tier venture capital firm.

0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:06.520
<v Speaker 1>This guy is he's ses A and G material for sure.

0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Sean McGuire shout out if you're listening. He posted about

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Zorn Mumdani, the communist Islamist jackass who may well be

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:21.840
<v Speaker 1>the next mayor of New York City. McGuire chimed in

0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:27.080
<v Speaker 1>on the New York City mayoral candidate, a Democratic socialist

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 1>who is Muslim, calling mundanmi On Islamist who comes from

0:29:30.360 --> 0:29:34.280
<v Speaker 1>a culture that lies about everything. And he's spent the

0:29:34.360 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 1>days since sparring with ex posters in Silicon Valley types.

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:41.280
<v Speaker 1>And now the left is mobilized trying to get Sequoia

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 1>his employer, to get rid of him or silence him

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:51.000
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. And it's an interesting fight. It includes a

0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 1>number of like big time CEOs of Indian descent, because Mundani,

0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the African American which I want to talk about, is

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:03.960
<v Speaker 1>actually of Indian descent. Is Indian parents just ended up

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 1>in Uganda. But it's really quite the fight. Now, can

0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you express something that's a little that's out there? Referring

0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:16.480
<v Speaker 1>to India as a culture that lies about everything? That

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 1>is not the first time I have heard that allegation

0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:25.120
<v Speaker 1>about Indian business culture. Really, anything about exception is viewed

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:30.320
<v Speaker 1>differently there than it is in the United States. Yeah, yeah,

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:33.480
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, you're seeing more and more people saying, yeah,

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what you think. Here's what I think

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 1>on the right side of the aisle, and I love it.

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 1>His ideas are bad. Subjective to the light of day,

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 1>they won't last. How is it going me trying to

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:46.720
<v Speaker 1>get rid of RBF? If you suffer from RBF, you

0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:48.760
<v Speaker 1>should stay tuned because I've learned some things about that.

0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:51.160
<v Speaker 1>We've got mail bag on the way. Also, stay here.

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Guy through the slowest pitch of Major League Baseball season

0:30:58.960 --> 0:31:01.840
<v Speaker 1>this year night, in an attempt to get out of

0:31:01.880 --> 0:31:03.680
<v Speaker 1>a game in which it was a blowout and everybody

0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:06.360
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be over, he threw a thirty four mile

0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:10.760
<v Speaker 1>an hour pitch, which wouldn't be easy to do. Yeah

0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:13.600
<v Speaker 1>that's uh yeah, that's it doesn't have enough steam to

0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:16.800
<v Speaker 1>get to the place, right. Yeah. Yeah, here's your freedom

0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:19.320
<v Speaker 1>loving quota the day. Continuing our series of the great

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Thomas Sowel celebrating his ninety fifth birthday while we were

0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:26.080
<v Speaker 1>on vacation. So many choices, I'll go with this one today.

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:29.920
<v Speaker 1>People who pride themselves on their complexity and derit others

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:33.040
<v Speaker 1>for being simplistic should realize that the truth is often

0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 1>not very complicated. What gets complex is evading the truth.

0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's a good one, right there, Yes, sir, Yes, sir.

0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Mailbag drops a note mail Bag at Armstrong and Geddy

0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:50.720
<v Speaker 1>dot com. I love this from Alnonymous at the Sea Ranch,

0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>beautiful little community northern California on the Ocean. I have

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 1>stayed there many times. Yeah yeah, I'd thought about buying

0:31:57.440 --> 0:31:59.440
<v Speaker 1>some real estate there once upon a time, but what

0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:03.000
<v Speaker 1>was holding back was I didn't have nearly enough money anyway,

0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Al rights, I find the best definition of maturity to

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:10.719
<v Speaker 1>be doing what you want to do, even if your

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:14.960
<v Speaker 1>mother wants you to do it. That's a great definition

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:21.920
<v Speaker 1>of maturity anyway, just thinking about it, taking it in yes,

0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I am ruminating it. In yes, I mean the obvious is,

0:32:26.000 --> 0:32:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm going to do what I want. And

0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:29.400
<v Speaker 1>if your mother says I think that's a great idea,

0:32:29.440 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 1>you say, well, I'm not doing it. You're not mature.

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 1>But then he makes his ultimate point. Unfortunately, the left

0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:39.520
<v Speaker 1>isn't mature enough to acknowledge wanting anything that Trump's Trump

0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:42.400
<v Speaker 1>puts in place, even if they believe it's a good idea.

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Order security, sending illegal aliens who are violent criminals out

0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:49.760
<v Speaker 1>of the US, requiring able bodied, non child bearing adults

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:53.080
<v Speaker 1>on Medicaid work for their benefit, destroying your on's ability

0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:56.480
<v Speaker 1>to create a nuclear warhead. The list is long. Come on, Left,

0:32:56.520 --> 0:32:59.520
<v Speaker 1>it's time to grow up. I was thinking of examples

0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 1>of my high schooler who does a number of things

0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:04.480
<v Speaker 1>that are self defeating, but it's part of his whole

0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:07.400
<v Speaker 1>rebelling against the man thing that you have to do

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:10.920
<v Speaker 1>when you're that age. Well, right, exactly. You know I've

0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 1>told the story before, and we should do a mail bag,

0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:15.120
<v Speaker 1>but I can't resist. I was. I can picture the

0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:18.160
<v Speaker 1>very intersection my dad and I were at stop sign

0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:20.160
<v Speaker 1>on the way back to high school. It's probably my

0:33:20.240 --> 0:33:23.480
<v Speaker 1>junior year or so, going back for some ballgame or something,

0:33:23.520 --> 0:33:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and he was talking about college and I said, yeah,

0:33:25.600 --> 0:33:28.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe I don't want to go to college, and he said, Okay,

0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 1>that's up to you. I well, I, oh, no, I

0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:34.280
<v Speaker 1>guess I'll go to college. The one my son is

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:36.200
<v Speaker 1>he's always talking about how lady's gonna stay up, and

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:37.800
<v Speaker 1>then he got stuff to do the next day. I'm like,

0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:39.360
<v Speaker 1>how is this going to benefit you? Well, you're not

0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 1>doing anything. Why is sting up late gonna make it?

0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm gonna step as late as I want. Okay,

0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 1>got it moving along. WNBA observation writes Dan and Frog's Breath,

0:33:53.280 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina. You know I've spent many any happy days. Indeed,

0:33:57.080 --> 0:33:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I lived at one time in North Carolina. I don't

0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:04.880
<v Speaker 1>recall visiting the friendly environs of Frogs Breath anyway, he says, gentlemen,

0:34:04.960 --> 0:34:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the story the other day about Caitlin Clark finishing ninth

0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:10.640
<v Speaker 1>in the player's All Star vote is evidence that the

0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:14.280
<v Speaker 1>nineteenth Amendment was a terrible idea should be repealed. Sorry, Katie,

0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh good lord. He wants to deny to write a

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:19.759
<v Speaker 1>woman to vote? Dan, Come on, maybe that sort of

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:25.239
<v Speaker 1>attitude passes in Frog's breath. Not on this show, certainly not,

0:34:26.560 --> 0:34:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Robert writes, guys, Tuesday's discussion on gender Benning madness reminded

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 1>me of my own identity disorder. See. I was born

0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:36.680
<v Speaker 1>in North America, but sometimes I identify as Central American

0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:40.120
<v Speaker 1>or South American. You see, I'm actually trans American. That

0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:43.400
<v Speaker 1>in my mind? Will so that in mind? Will California

0:34:43.440 --> 0:34:45.400
<v Speaker 1>allow me to have my gender as trans am on

0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:47.440
<v Speaker 1>my license? Can I get a racing stripe and a

0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:50.239
<v Speaker 1>phoenix tattoo on my chest paid for by medical as

0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:54.440
<v Speaker 1>gender affirming care. I think he's trying to point out

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:56.400
<v Speaker 1>how absurd all of that is. You are what you are,

0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:57.319
<v Speaker 1>no matter what you say.

0:34:57.360 --> 0:34:57.600
<v Speaker 3>You are.

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Jared and Mississippi totally different topic on the Epstein list.

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm losing confidence with this administration. Everyone knows Epstein didn't

0:35:07.239 --> 0:35:10.360
<v Speaker 1>hang himself, and now the gas lighting continues, just like

0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:14.640
<v Speaker 1>under Biden. It's Jared and Missouri. I got this from

0:35:14.800 --> 0:35:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Patty coincidental that Net and Yahoo nominated Trump for the

0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:22.439
<v Speaker 1>Nobel Peace Prize the day after Trump squashed the Epstein case.

0:35:22.840 --> 0:35:26.000
<v Speaker 1>The Masad and CIA used Epstein to blackmail politicians and

0:35:26.040 --> 0:35:28.319
<v Speaker 1>political leaders. He was given free rein to do whatever

0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:31.759
<v Speaker 1>evil atrocities he could dream up. The public won't let

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:34.200
<v Speaker 1>the story die because of the thousands of children that

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:38.120
<v Speaker 1>have been trafficked. Rexwell was convicted given twenty years. She

0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:41.200
<v Speaker 1>should be freed because nothing happened here. Bongino, Patel and

0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:45.840
<v Speaker 1>BONDI are obeying orders from Trump. Yeah, I forgot to

0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:48.839
<v Speaker 1>bring that aspect of it everybody, those of you, because

0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:50.799
<v Speaker 1>I know if you who are really into the Epstein thing,

0:35:50.840 --> 0:35:53.400
<v Speaker 1>it's all about the hundreds of thousands of children that

0:35:53.480 --> 0:35:56.480
<v Speaker 1>have been trafficked for sex by the Democratic Party in

0:35:56.600 --> 0:36:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood and my number of other people. Yeah, totally different topic.

0:36:02.400 --> 0:36:04.520
<v Speaker 1>We are trying to come up with an only fans

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:09.080
<v Speaker 1>gimmick because it's not all sacks, and we came up

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:13.520
<v Speaker 1>with Jack building birdhouses while wearing a female cheerleader outfit.

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:17.640
<v Speaker 1>And boy, the response from you folks has been overwhelmingly positive.

0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:21.320
<v Speaker 1>A number of subscribers have already identified themselves Jack, so

0:36:21.440 --> 0:36:24.240
<v Speaker 1>have had it. Wow, Wow, I should launch that today.

0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:26.880
<v Speaker 1>All I need is the cheerleading outfit some lumber in

0:36:26.960 --> 0:36:29.279
<v Speaker 1>a couple of hours. Sounds like a great idea. Get

0:36:29.320 --> 0:36:32.720
<v Speaker 1>me doing it. I love it. Um, so we're sending

0:36:32.800 --> 0:36:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Patriot missile batteries to Ukraine now, hmm our two. We'll

0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:38.280
<v Speaker 1>get into that. If you miss it, get the podcast

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty
