I'd stand up and say, look, AI is 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.080 going to take two thirds of your jobs. Look on 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.080 your right and left, all those people are going to 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.240 be gone.

I'd walk out. 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.440 I like you showing up to people's Christmas parties at 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.600 the end, helping them get the last guests out of 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.440 the house, as usually the last guest standing there in 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:52.200 the kitchen, not taking the hint, drinking your booze. You're 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.480 like Debbie Downer from the old Saturday Night Live thing? 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:55.600 What like that? 0:01:55.920 --> 0:02:00.560 Have you heard about the rise in feline leukemia? 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.800 Beautiful? All right, lots to squeeze in the final hour 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.600 of the week, But first let's take a fun look 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.440 back at the week it was. It's cow clips of 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:23.840 the week. Your word is affordability. I wonder what grade 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.880 you would give A plus A plus. 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.480 A plus plus plus plus plus. 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.160 This deal, if it is allowed to move forward, will 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.000 actually be the death of the theatrical movie business. 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.399 In Hollywood. We're sitting here today trying to save it. 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.919 We're the United States of America. That's who we are. 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.440 Lucia has cos we're back into Europe and if you 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.440 must be prepared for the skill of our grandparents and 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.040 great grandparents and Georgia. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.640 The binary Justice Department called it the largest COVID fraud 0:02:54.720 --> 0:03:01.720 scheme in the country. This also has an impact on smallies. 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.360 Do you think that the video should be released in 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.040 full to the American public? 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.639 Yeah, but whatever they have we certainly released. No problem. 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:16.000 This video was profoundly shaking. I didn't find it distressing 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:16.560 or disturbing. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.400 It looks like any number of dozens of strikes we've seen. Senator, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.880 have you seen the video? I have seen the video. 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.799 You have seen the classified video. No, I've not seen 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:27.600 the actual video. 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.440 Well, we keep it. I guess there have been cameras 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:38.840 all over me, analyzing my every move, analyzing my every smile, 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.920 my every tear. We deserve to have cameras in there. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.840 I would cause Eric will be careful what you wish for. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.400 You know, it could screw up the proceeding and the 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.920 results might not be what everybody thinks they should be. 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:58.720 I think as long as uniquely indigestible for a secular mindset. 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.560 Old women are annoying if you ever have sex. 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.440 No, absolutely not, Wow, says the god who's never got 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.920 like Charon war Overnight basically being fired and then detained 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.160 by police. Something about it excited me, and uh, it's 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:14.760 kind of one of those deals. The door opens and 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.880 you get to walk through it and find out if 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.960 you can do it or run from it. 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.200 A California woman recently gave birth in a self driving 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:28.000 Waymo taxi. Then, to even things out, the waimo ran 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.080 over a pedestrian. 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.599 So I wrote, it's not a terrible theory and text 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:40.360 to me back he killed my dad. My god, if 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:40.960 I had to say. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.880 Like, there's only one thing you can ever have for 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.080 the rest of time, which admittedly would be a bit monotonous, 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.640 but it would probably be a chooser there. 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:55.880 It's clips of the week, So serious first or CARDI 0:04:55.960 --> 0:05:00.760 b first. Oh, let's get serious out of the way. 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.480 So we were talking yesterday about the ridiculousness of various 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.320 privileged crap. What am I supposed to do? What you 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.520 want me to do? Feel bad all day long? And 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.280 that teacher we had who walks up to kids and 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.839 tells them they should feel bad. But anyway, as a 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:24.200 legislator on the Education Committee who thinks state policy ought 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.440 to be telling little white kids they should walk through 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.039 their day feeling bad sick anyway, So in general, I 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.080 don't believe in the whole privilege thing, one privileged thing 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:32.760 that we should all we don't need to feel bad, 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.080 but you should feel freaking fortunate every damn day of 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.440 your life that you live in the biggest, most powerful 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.200 country in the world. So you've gotten no threat, zero 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.960 threat of some country coming in and shooting your kids, 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.320 raping your wife. I mean, all of these horrible things 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:54.600 that happen all over the world, including Ukraine, and I've 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.919 always been it really gets to me really easy people 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:02.960 who are literally fighting for their lives and their family lives. Anyway, 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.800 President Zelensky just put out a video a couple hours ago, 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.120 and I'm sure the reason he did it was the 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.880 conversation that's being had between Trump and European leaders in 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:17.480 which Trump says Ukraine's losing and they need to sign on. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.440 To this peace deal. And then there's a piece in 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:20.320 the Wall Street. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.000 Journal they going back and forth about whether Ukraine's losing 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:27.039 President Zelensky broadcast a video from the front a town 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.680 that Russia had been claiming for weeks they took, and 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.520 Zelensky's standing in the middle of that town saying, well, 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.880 this is the town Russia says they took. They don't 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.920 have it anymore. We have it, and then he ends 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.760 it with keep fighting, lads, and I just oh wow, 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.960 it's me like, whoa, I mean, those are people seriously 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.480 laying it all on the line for their fans. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.320 Can we start calling the alleged piece plan a conditional 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:52.520 surrender plan since that's a much more accurate description of 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.159 what it is. And you can see the look on 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.640 Zelensky's face when he says keep fighting lads, I. 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:00.320 Mean you mean Neil, Yeah, mean it? 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.520 Yeah? AnyWho? That's heavy. 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:04.320 That is heavy. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.440 If we have a privilege in the United States, it's 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.440 that we don't have to worry about that at all. 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.000 Transition music, Michael, I wish. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.000 We had some Cardi B music. 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:18.640 I don't know if she has any music that's not 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.240 so filthy we couldn't play it. 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:25.480 Is she the lady? She's the lady. 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.160 When a time that she was home in the same 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:31.720 then maybe get to. 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:38.040 Come above time. I like this tells about. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.480 Isn't the same? What is that? 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.760 If I recall correctly, this was the Italian pop star 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:54.320 put out a single in fake English, making fun of 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:58.480 the way Europeans single along to American pop songs, not 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.120 having any idea what they're saying, so he just went 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.320 with nonsense. It's really funny music, though it sounds like 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.760 Joon Batist can time. 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:10.520 Away. 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:12.800 You're gonna make it stop now, Michael, it worked. I 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.520 don't remember what we were talking about, which is the 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.840 goal of transition music? Yeah? 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:17.480 So uh. 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:24.440 Nicki Minaj is blasting Gavvy Newsome for his being so 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.760 hot to trot for kids to have sex changes. 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.160 I get Cardi B and Nicki Minaj mixed up. They're 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:30.720 different people. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:37.280 They may be which one said coronavirus and which one 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.120 said it's which one sang the WAP song? 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.280 That's this nick this one Nicki MINAJH. 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:43.000 I don't know, are you? 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:46.880 They're both Cardi B? What Nicki minaje do that? 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:51.600 I should know anything somebody hits, she stays for something. 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.880 I'm pretty sure they've they've had a beef going on 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.440 for a while. They're very similar she got a big booty. 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:04.200 Yes, wow, Okay. So rap Bengas star Nicki Minaj is 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:08.560 blasting Gabby Newsom saying he wants to see trans kids. 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.559 That's an episode. That's an interview he did with Ezra 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.280 Kline in The New York Times in which he bragged 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.600 about the fact that California is the first and the 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:23.600 best and the biggest sanctuary state for confused adolescents who 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.079 want to get their bodies mutilated. He's very, very proud 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:32.240 of that. So she says she had a series of 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.760 X posts saying, it's the end of the road for you, Oh, 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.320 Gavy pooh, it only gets worse from here for you, buddy, 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.400 It's the end of the road for you, my love. 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.680 Get on the nearest jet ski and let that beautiful 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.760 hair blow in the wind.

Only difference is his mission 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.880 is impossible. He shouldn't get another leading role. Let's see, 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.720 imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.160 Ha ha. Not even a trans adult would run on that. 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.680 Normal adults wake up and think they want to see healthy, safe, 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.880 happy kids, not gav The gav knots gave out sending 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:25.080 the next guy, I'm bored, Wow, Cardi B.

Grok is known as the Queen 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:44.280 of Rap. 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:51.280 She sold in the modern era one hundred million records worldwide. 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:51.880 In the two thousands. 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:56.840 She is a big deal Nicki Minaje Yeah so anyway, 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.880 and has a large booty. Like so many Black Americans, 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:05.600 she has no patience for the convincing kids their trans sickness. 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.440 In twenty twenty three, the California governor became the first 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.960 sanctuary state for transgender identifying children who are seeking drugs 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:18.319 and surgeries to alter themselves. Anyway, way to go, whichever 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:26.800 rapper woman you are, because you're right on this one. Okay, huh. 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:31.000 Jd Vance actually brought Cardi b into this conversation for 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.679 reasons that I will not bother elaborating on because I 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.600 don't care, and I'm sure you don't either. All Right, 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:43.000 do you know if Kevin Hart and Michael Jordan actually 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:43.720 hate each other? 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.880 Have you heard about this story? 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:46.240 Oh? 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.720 Have you watched the most recent Kevin Hart Netflix special 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.120 that just got released? I think this week no very funny. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:58.559 I find Kevin Hart freaking hilarious. And he's forty five now, 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.560 so he's got a lot of stuff about ag in there. 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.000 That I think you might find relatable as an aging dead. 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.000 But he claims, I don't know, maybe they're friends, and 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.480 this is a joke that he and Michael Jordan hate 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.240 each other, and it all goes way back to something 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:12.040 many many years ago. 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.920 He's got some seriously funny, really edgy smack about Michael 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:20.480 Jordan's Really yeah, I thought it was quite funny. Anyway, 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:21.920 I'll try to figure out if that's real or not, 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:23.920 and then we'll get the real news of some sort 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:25.360 or commentary Stay tuned. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:33.240 A Norwegian metal detector enthusiasts recently discovered a gilded figuring 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.760 of Jesus Christ that is believed to be nine hundred 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.200 years old. He rushed home to tell his wife, but 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.079 then he remembered he was a metal detector enthusiast. 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.160 That's not nice, so I looked it up. 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.839 Yeah, the feud between Kevin Hart the comedian and Michael 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.760 Jordan the basketball player appears to be real, and the 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:56.479 full ten minutes of his special that Kevin Hart spends 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.840 making taking shots at Michael Jordan and quite a hilarious fashion. 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.040 I'll go back goes back to a fewd many many 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.199 years ago where Kevin Hart was the MC at a 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:10.120 celebrity something or other and Jordan showed up late, and 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.360 Kevin Hart didn't dig it, and then made some jokes 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:17.080 about Jordan was dressed, his pants were up too high, 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.319 and he dresses like a pregnant lesbian and very variety 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.520 of things, and he said, and Jordan sat there, glum 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.960 faced the whole time, never laughed anything, and then afterwards 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.800 shook his hand and squeezed really hard. So he still 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.480 makes big shots at Jordan being a loser of a 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.959 dad and pitching a dud with his kids who have failed. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.640 And I mean it's. 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.680 Pretty hard stuff, but it's also it's also hilarious. But 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.280 I mean it's it's the sort of thing that would 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:47.000 make a guy mad. Wow, I've gotten to that age 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:48.120 where I got no EPs to give. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:49.000 I just don't care. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:54.680 Right, he's a funny guy. So a little bonus mail 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.600 bag here. You can drop us note if you want 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.880 mail bag at Armstrong and Giddy dot com. A lot 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:03.880 of interesting stuff from this. Tony writs. The United States 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.200 season that Venezuela and oil tanker Gavin Newsom was quoted 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.239 as saying, my hair jails on that boat. 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:10.559 I get it. 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.320 It's kind of oily looking. Let's see, got this one. 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.960 My hair jails on that boat. That's funny. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:23.360 Yeah, it is Allnonymous says. I've heard Jack discussing these 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.920 conversations with AI for some time now. I've also heard 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.800 Jack talk about alcoholism. I'm an alcoholic, and I've admitted 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.000 it in a completely new way that was not possible 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.080 just a year ago. Yesterday, I started talking to Grok 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.240 about why I drink and how I ended up drinking 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.920 as much as I do, GROC has quite possibly given 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.000 me the advice I need to quit drinking. It's going 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:43.960 to be a long road, starting with some pill that 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.240 should help. But I may just make it heard so 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.720 much doom and gloom about AI while I have my 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.640 luddite hesitations, Groc may just have saved my lifetime. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:52.960 Will tell wow. That's something. 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.760 I was talking about doctor yesterday, and he said, I 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.320 wonder if I'm going to be, you know, replaced by AI. 0:14:58.360 --> 0:14:59.920 And I said, I don't know about medical doctors. But 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.560 and I said therapists. He was completely unaware of this. 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.080 I said, therapists better find a new line of work, 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.280 because the I is really good. 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.840 Yeah, yeah, I would detest. And then this from Drew 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:16.960 The Millennial Guys Ulysses by James Joyce sucks. Jack has 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.800 been discussing his slogging his way through that amazing classic 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:21.400 of literature. 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:22.240 I absolutely love it. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:31.160 You claim to, but you don't anyway, Drew writes, Let's 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:35.920 see it sucks with four s's. I hate that stupid book. 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.840 At a certain point, esoteric rhetorical creativity has no value. 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.880 It's just silly. I remember the chapter he referred to today, 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.920 nine months of gestation is an allegory for the development 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:50.480 of human language. Ooh, and I'll write some rambling incomprehensible 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.320 book about how the Creation of Christianity is a parable 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.160 for the West Coast offense, just so people who pretend 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.520 to understand it can prag to each other. It's a joke. 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.400 It's Andy Warhol's soup camp. Anyway, love the show that's 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.920 pretty good. Hates the book, loves the Show's that's some 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.360 good writing. The Creation of Christianity is a parable for 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:12.160 the West Coast offense. I would say it, that's good. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.440 I think it's interesting that I tried to read that 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:18.040 book many times throughout my life and couldn't, and then 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.520 after continuing to read very difficult stuff for the past 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.520 twenty five years or however long, I got to the 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.560 point where I could read it. So there's some like, 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:31.120 there's some like ability to appreciate it that I gained 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.160 by reading other difficult literature, Like I like I worked 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:38.600 myself up to it, and that I classical music like 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.080 in the way that I don't even understand. 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:45.560 Yeah, yeah, I don't know. That description reminds me of 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.480 some philosophy that I just can't get into. I know 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.640 a lot of people are into it, and I would 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.120 like to say that I am because it makes me 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.840 look smart, But I just I get a certain depth 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.080 into it. I think this is a complete waste of time. 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:00.760 This is just ruminating about stuff that doesn't matter. I 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:02.720 need to go make a living. Excuse me. 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.600 Yeah, I think Joyce is actually the exact opposite of 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.120 ruminating about something that doesn't matter. But maybe another time, 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:10.240 we've got some more news of the day. We ought 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:11.160 to get to some stuff. 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.000 That just happened Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.480 What would it look like if China tries to invade Taiwan. 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:20.760 Got some interesting stuff on that in just a second. 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.040 But I wanted to get back to this briefly, and 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:24.159 I promise it's brief. 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:29.080 If you're rolling your eyes at this. The why. 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.239 James Joyce's Ulysses is a big piece of art that 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:37.040 has lasted as long as it has, but I really 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.360 think is interesting. So it's the whole book is the day, 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.639 one day in the life of three people. It's just 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:46.639 it's one day, June sixteenth, nineteen oh four in Dublin Island. 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.920 But the idea one page is long. 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:54.040 It's like eight hundred pages long. But and it's it's 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:58.520 kind of based on the Odyssey. But his point is 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.800 all of literature up until that point, really and art 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.879 was all about kings and queens and soldiers and conquerors 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.560 and all these different sorts of things, and the Odyssey 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.920 is that sort of thing. His point is that we all, 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.040 as human beings with the most mundane of lives, live 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:24.720 all of the fear, love, success, envy, hate, everything lust 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.000 that mankind can have, that a human inspirations can have 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.360 on a near daily basis as just regular people. It's 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:35.760 not only something for kings, queens and people that have won. 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.600 And conquered in battles or whatever. 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:41.800 It's for every single individual to experience the full gamut 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:46.520 of human emotions, just in regular life, just raising kids, 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.919 dealing with your wife and coworkers and blah blah blah. 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:54.760 What supplemental material have you found most helpful in reading it. 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:58.359 I've actually been using the chatbots a lot. 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:00.320 There are all kinds of books out there, but it's 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:01.960 faster for me to just go to the chatbot and 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:03.320 ask a specific question. 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:04.280 It gives me the answer. 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:06.679 Give us some for instance, just to help me understand 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.160 what that process looks. 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:12.720 Like like the other day, I said, I am really 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:17.080 slogging getting the run down and trying to read chapter twelve, 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.040 which is called the Oxen's something or other, and I said, 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.480 what can you do for me here? And which is 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.240 one of the things I love about chatbots, as you 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.320 can talk to them like that. It says, yeah, lots 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.359 of people quit here, that's where most people quit. So 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.720 try to fight your way through it. Here's what's happening. 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:35.120 Here's a way to approach it. Don't get too caught 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.840 up and trying to figure out what's actually occurring. Just 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.200 keep moving forward. It'll have a payoff in the end. 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:42.680 Oh wow, wow, wow, that's great. 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.520 That's amazing. Now these chatbots are amazing for lots of 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:52.680 different stuff. Anyway, back to this v This is according 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:54.800 to an article on the Wall Street Journal, and they're writers, 0:19:54.800 --> 0:20:03.320 which I found really really interesting. The biggest geopolitical unknown 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:07.479 facing the entire planet with everything that's going on is 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:13.360 weather Beijing will try to conquer Taiwan in the near future. 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.359 The close second to that question is will the U 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:21.920 United States come to Taiwan's defense as a response. Those 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.679 are some major questions. They lay it out in this 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:27.280 very long article in the Wall Street Journal. If you're 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.400 interested in this topic, I highly recommend trying to figure 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.400 out how to read it. Wall Street Journal is pretty 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.679 good at paywalling people making you pay for their content. 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:36.400 Here's how it would start. 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:43.600 Five miles off Taiwan's coast ZTD, five amphibious vehicles from 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:47.600 China roll out of ships and zip over the water 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.679 amid a halo artillery fire. The Chinese soldiers inside have 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:54.480 their orders seize the beach or die trying. Close by, 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:58.760 China's airborne troops are taking losses. They arrived before dawn 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.080 in low flying aircraft have to seize the airport. Taiwanese 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.560 defenders down several planes of paratroopers that landed scattered, and 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.359 race to assault the airfield before Taiwan wrecks it. This 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:14.240 hypothetical battle scenario imagines a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Its militari's, 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.600 policy makers and war gamers are doing all over the 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:18.920 world to try to predict what would happen and when 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:21.800 it might happen. An amphibious invasion would be one of 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:25.040 the toughest military operations to execute, and an all out 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:29.119 war would be extremely bloody, devastate the global economy, and 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:31.320 change the course of the twenty first century. 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:32.359 That's all. 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:38.040 Yeah, yeah, worth noting speaking of literature and reading and 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.080 that sort of thing, the modern article and I have 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:42.639 to have read that one where you like scroll and 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:46.240 it gives you graphics and like moving maps and stuff 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:49.800 is so cool. Yeah, I still want to unplug the Internet. 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:51.520 I admit that's pretty cool. 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:53.879 It's roughly one hundred and ten miles from the Chinese 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:58.280 mainland to Taiwan. The Taiwan Strait is a daunting obstacle. 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.760
