Speaker 2: Armstrong and Tecating and he arms wrong get live from

00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: the studio. Scene says, y'all.

5
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 3: We are in a dimly lit room, deep within the

6
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: bowels of the Armstrong and getting communications compounded. Today we're

7
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: under the tutelage of our general manager cloud flair.

8
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: All right, I don't know that term cloud flair. He

9
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: says it again loudly.

10
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 4: It's a web safety guidance cloud.

11
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 2: Based something another system that.

12
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 4: Is involved with like a lot of the biggest websites

13
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 4: on Earth, and is screwed up for some reason today

14
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 4: as we are speaking these words, really it's taken down

15
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 4: x formerly known as Twitter's what's the fullest, Katie, You

16
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 4: have a better grasp of it than I do.

17
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 5: X Chat gpt.

18
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 6: Ubers down right now, Spotify aol is kicking.

19
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you've got always.

20
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's always online, right, I can check my mail?

21
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: So yeah.

22
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: Is it a Chinese hackititag? That's the question I'm asking

23
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 4: because that seems exciting. If that Chinese hackitak ever does come,

24
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 4: it's going to be a hell of a day.

25
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: Well, it comes all the time, hundreds of times per day.

26
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: It's just you're talking about the big one. It happened

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: over the weekend, as we talked a lot about yesterday,

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: by using anthropics own AI to go after companies, the

29
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: first time that's ever really been done. And so who

30
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: knows what today is could be something like that absolutely

31
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: could be, and they might not tell us even if

32
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: it was, which is probably a good idea.

33
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they'll just say, you know, an error was

34
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: made during a software update. We apologize for any inconvenience,

35
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: which is fine again as long as our best and

36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: brightest are fighting the stuff as hard as they can.

37
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: But I was just thinking, Okay, so the whole web

38
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 4: goes down and number one, the announcement goes out over

39
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 4: I guess am radio or something what is happening and

40
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 4: that everybody should remain calm, And I would think, you know,

41
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 4: what the hell with the modern world?

42
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: Anyway?

43
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 4: I don't like it. I haven't enjoyed it. How many

44
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 4: times have I said that I'm just gonna go into

45
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: the woods that I'm going to realize, Wait a minute,

46
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 4: all of my money is accessible only via the web, right,

47
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: you know?

48
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do?

49
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: Go, you know, walk up to Charles Schwab or Fidelity

50
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: or do you have your money?

51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: Folks, you're gonna like it.

52
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 4: Walk in the bottom of their skyscraper in Manhattan, say

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: excuse me. My name is Joe Getty and you have

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 4: my money, and I would like it now, I wouldn't

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 4: know how to begin.

56
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: Isn't that long? Propanic?

57
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 3: You know that's true with all money, including crypto. You know,

58
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: crypto's scene is the great way around a lot of

59
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: a lot of modern problems. But you still got to

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: have online ability to get your crypto right. Oh yeah,

61
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 3: spilled and you can't even well. I suppose you could

62
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 3: turn it into cash, but I don't know where from.

63
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: Whom I spilled coffee. Give me just a second. Oh no,

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to see it not on my bright white shirt.

65
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: Thank goodness, that goes with my suit.

66
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: I won't belabor this right now, but I probably will

67
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: labor it and then belabor it afterwards. I started reading

68
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: last night because I was watching listening to a podcast.

69
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: The book came out a year or two ago by

70
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: one of your fathers of Internet of AI. If anyone

71
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: builds it, everyone dies.

72
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: Is the name of his book, Well, at least you

73
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: avoided alarmism.

74
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: Well, and he was one of the biggest proponents in

75
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: the world, leading the charge for decades about AI and

76
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: how important it was and how it was coming and

77
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: we need to be in front of it and everything

78
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: like that. Just the biggest cheerleader there was for AI.

79
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: One of your big names that most of you wouldn't known,

80
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: but just in case you would, it's Ellie. It's the

81
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: old British seller Elie Yodkowski.

82
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 2: No.

83
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: But then a few years back he decided, no, this

84
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: is going to destroy mankind in a whole bunch of

85
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: different ways, and we've got to stop this, and he

86
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 3: wrote that book. If anyone builds it, everyone dies. He

87
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 3: takes it as far as and he's got several chapters

88
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: where he runs through various scenarios on how it could

89
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: just destroy the planet or human human beings, or the

90
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: environment or all kinds of different things. But he goes

91
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 3: so far as it might be a situation where we

92
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: need to outline outlaw companies attempting to build AGI or

93
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 3: ASI super intelligence as opposed to just general intelligence. Anybody

94
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: trying to build super intelligence, make it against the law.

95
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: And if they continue to build it bomb their factories.

96
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: I mean, that's how big a deal it is.

97
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: He thinks, Holy cow, I don't know this guy is

98
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 4: whether he's you know, a bit of a crack pot

99
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 4: or prone to such you know, crazy rhetoric.

100
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: But that's that's a hell of an opinion. Yeah.

101
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: So there's AI artificial intelligence, and he got AGI artificial

102
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: general intelligences, maybe maybe a lot of you know, that's

103
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: basically when it's as smart as the smartest person in

104
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: the world and can program itself and everything like that.

105
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: They think the leap from AGI to ASI super intelligence,

106
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: which is beyond anything in the human beings have been

107
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: able to think. Our mind could be like two hours long.

108
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 3: Once AGI starts all of a sudden, when it can

109
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 3: program each other, it'll be to super intelligence like that.

110
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: I just had a thought. It'll say, yeah, yeah, okay,

111
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: So I was going to ask.

112
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 4: You to define for we the the half baked this

113
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 4: artificial super intelligence.

114
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: But nobody knows, is your point. Well, it will be

115
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: able to leap tall buildings in a single bounty.

116
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 3: It'll be able to think on a level that nobody's

117
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: ever even really been able to imagine. Right, But I'll

118
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: talk more about that later, because there's some really interesting

119
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 3: scenarios and all there. It's just good news. I have

120
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 3: cured all cancer.

121
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 4: Bad news, I suppose from your perspective, I'm going to

122
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 4: kill you all in three right, two, This is ironic.

123
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 5: One.

124
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 3: I just listened to a story of broadcast story about

125
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: one of the hot toys that are out this year

126
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: are AI toys that you have hooked up to the Internet,

127
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: and so little kids can play with a doll, for instance,

128
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 3: and ask it questions and it can answer, and it

129
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 3: gets to know your kid's name and gets to know

130
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 3: your kid's personality and interests in you know, it's like

131
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: the AI chat body, except for its little kids. But

132
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 3: there have been examples out there of the little AI

133
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: teddy Bear telling your four year old how to start

134
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: a fire, or where to get the knives in mom's drawer,

135
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 3: or various things like that.

136
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 4: Trying to think if I've ever heard a worse side

137
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: d nothing's popping to mind.

138
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: No kid, holy crap, Oh my god. If you buy

139
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 3: that for your well, it's because you don't know. People

140
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: who would buy that for their kid aren't paying attention

141
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: to the whole AI story.

142
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: The way some of us are.

143
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: Right, which is not a mortal sin exactly, but I

144
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 4: mean that is an incredible lack of judgment. And you've

145
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 4: already reproduced, So I can't say I hope you don't

146
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: reproduce if you're buying it for your child.

147
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can.

148
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: Bind to think if I get Is there a worst

149
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,119
Speaker 3: idea I've ever come across. No, that's the worst idea,

150
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: that one right there, putting AI chapbots in the hands

151
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: of the youngest among us.

152
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny.

153
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 4: There's there's a conceit among human beings, has been for

154
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 4: thousands of years, that these are the end times. It's

155
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 4: exciting to people. They feel it. It's like an ego trick.

156
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 4: Well they were all wrong in the past, Yes, well

157
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 4: exactly they would. They flattered themselves that these are the

158
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 4: critical times, as ordained in scriptures or whatever they're belief

159
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 4: system is. But then you know, they come and they go,

160
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 4: and life chugs on. I know it wasn't the end times.

161
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 4: You should have lightened up and enjoyed your life. Right,

162
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: I'm increasingly feeling like this might be getting toward it,

163
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 4: and as it's coming, as it's you know, it all's crumbling.

164
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 4: I don't think I'm gonna think, Wow, this is exciting.

165
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 4: I'm gonna think, damn, I.

166
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: Was on a roll. Thanks for going so well? What

167
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: money saved? I got a pretty nice house. I ah,

168
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: damn it.

169
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: One of my favorite I think it might even be

170
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: a chapter from the book. This gets into the there's

171
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: a crowd of people called accelerationists.

172
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: There's I'm like a.

173
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 3: Doomsday person or doom sayer, have different a doomer, people

174
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: that only see downside's day. I'm in that crowd, really,

175
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 3: but the accelerationists are people that it's split into two camps.

176
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 3: It's people that we either think this is gonna be

177
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: the greatest thing ever. You aren't gonna have to work,

178
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 3: and we're gonna cure all kinds of diseases, will live

179
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 3: longer than we ever have, nobody has to go to work,

180
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: blah blah blah, the greatest time in human history. Other

181
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 3: people are doomers, but they believe it's gonna happen to

182
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: whether I like it or not. And it's better us

183
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: than China. And the saying in the AI crowd is

184
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: you'll recognize this saying from those of us who are

185
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 3: fans of being able to own a gun legally, the

186
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: only way to stop a bad guy with AI with ASI. Really,

187
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: the only way to stop a bad guy with AI

188
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: is a good guy with AI is us getting it

189
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 3: first chat GBT or Grock or whoever, being ahead of

190
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: the Chinese.

191
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,479
Speaker 4: So it's basically that. Honestly, I don't see any alternative

192
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: to that point of view. Now that that makes a

193
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 4: lot of sense to me. I take a shred of

194
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 4: encouragement from the fact that in the wake of the

195
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 4: first half of the twentieth century, really the nineteenth century two,

196
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 4: which was never ending warfare practically for ending on every

197
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 4: continent everywhere, the development of the atomic bomb in the forties,

198
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 4: virtually everybody believed for a very long time this is

199
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 4: the genie. We have unleashed it. It will take us all.

200
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: This is that dark turn of history, and yet human

201
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 4: beings need for self preservation is sting. Put it so

202
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 4: movingly in the nineties, I hope the Russians love their

203
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: children too.

204
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: Turns out we all kind of do and nuclear doomsday

205
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: has not occurred.

206
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 4: This is a different beast for sure, right well, are

207
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 4: a dynamic similar enough that I can stop worrying and

208
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 4: get a little shut ey.

209
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 3: Well, what we think will cease to matter once the

210
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: superintelligence comes. It'll be whatever AI wants to do and

211
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: thinks best for the planet or best for it. Oh whoops, Yeah,

212
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 3: there's the up and it does not love its children

213
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: too for obvious reasons, I think. Anyway, let's start the

214
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this

216
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 3: or Armstrong and getting we approved of this program.

217
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 4: I just hope AI doesn't knock out the Scots distilleries

218
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 4: because I want to go hammered when I go.

219
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: All right, goodbye for the world.

220
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 4: Let's begin officially now according to f SEC rules, Rex,

221
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,120

222
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 4: the greatest, most admired, and most successful companies in the

223
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 4: history of the world.

224
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: Frankly, the one and only McDonald's. I've gone there a

225
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: couple of times.

226
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: And I'm honitor to stand before you as the very

227
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,800

Speaker 4: Cook ever to become President of.

229
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: The United States.

230
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: And it has been revealed his favorite McDonald's sen which

231
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: is the fileo fish and he likes extra tartar sauce.

232
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: Oh, Katie recoiled visibly.

233
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 5: I thought was for no reason. I've never tried one.

234
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: I don't you how. I was a Falia fishman as

235
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 2: a teenager.

236
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that fl fish is a good sandwich,

237
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: and I agree extra tarti sauce, it's perfectly good order.

238
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: Wow.

239
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: Wow, I might have one of those today in honor

240
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 3: of the president.

241
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: Well, the president the political narrative of the day, and

242
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 4: it is not wrong.

243
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: Is that Trump is.

244
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: Clearly losing his kung fu grip on the Republican Party.

245
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: He's losing his voice. Is he okay? Is he ill?

246
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 4: He said he'd ragged out his voice shouting at someone. Wow,

247
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 4: he said he was yelling at someone. He apologized as

248
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 4: he began that speech. I don't know if we have

249
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 4: that clip.

250
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: That's pretty funny. Sorry, I lost my voice. Not he

251
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 3: was yelling at someone?

252
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: Well? Who?

253
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 3: And how much right was it Baron for not having

254
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 3: his grades up? Or was it the attorney general or Putin?

255
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: I mean it matters who.

256
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. There are many choices.

257
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 4: As he's been in a couple of rhetorical wrestling matches

258
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 4: lately within his own party, hence that narrative.

259
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: Well, it's team day. I hope you got your loved

00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: and that's the only thing lots of news outlets are

262
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 3: talking about.

263
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 2: Oh, for God's sake.

264
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: Alprin said in his newsletter, it might be a unanimous

265
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: vote in the House, might be four thirty four, or

266
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 3: however many people are there nothing?

267
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 4: You know what come on in AI? I changed my mind.

268
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 4: Bringing on Jack just changed my mind, bringing on takeovers.

269
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: Terminate us. Whatever's the next planet of the Ants? Is that?

270
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 4: Is that? What's coming next day? They seem well organized

271
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 4: and hard working the Ants. Whatever's next got to be

272
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 4: better than this. Yeah, we got Katie's headlines on the

273
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 4: way stay here.

274
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 3: A lot to fit in with what Joe was just

275
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: saying about Trump losing his kung fu grip on Maga.

276
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 3: Really there's a group out there that's more Maga than

277
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: he is. And Marjorie Daylor Green's just made quite a statement.

278
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: You got this flyind bad built, butsch body that's her,

279
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: That's that's the gal.

280
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: And so we'll have that for you coming up a

281
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: little bit later. Interesting where this all goes?

282
00:13:59,000 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: Nobody know?

283
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 4: Is also the dean of I'm sorry, we don't have

284
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 4: time for this screen. It's fascinating, though. The dean of

285
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 4: Politico's political writers says, Gavin Newsom is in lying to

286
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 4: be the next president. Good low, wow, that story coming up.

287
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 4: But first, who's reporting what? It's lead story?

288
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 2: It's Katie Green Katie.

289
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: So of course somebody texted this to me. Okay, where

290
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: do bad rainbows get sent? Prism? Oh wow, wow, child.

291
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 5: I think how hard you're laughing at it is the

292
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 5: best part, all right. Epstein's the big story.

293
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 6: So here's the top three headlines on that House to

294
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 6: vote on full Epstein files release the move Speaker Mike

295
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 6: Johnson fought for months.

296
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 5: That's from ABC CNN.

297
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 6: The prospect of an embarrassing defeat convinced Trump to reverse

298
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 6: course on the Epstein files, and then MS now formerly

299
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 6: known as MSNBC. Trump faces his biggest house rebellion yet

300
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 6: and pretends it's his idea.

301
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 4: M I saw another headline that Trump's sure it'll fail

302
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 4: in the Senate, so he thought, what the hecklest go ahead?

303
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was gonna lose. I don't think they

304
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: know why I was fighting it.

305
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: I don't think knowing that anybody will remember any of

306
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: this in a week, the voting and who pushed what

307
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: and whatever.

308
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: I just don't think it's gonna matter.

309
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 6: From the Washington Times, Oh snap, one hundred and eighty

310
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 6: six thousand dead people got tax dollars for food?

311
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: Got tax?

312
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 5: What tax dollars?

313
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: Okay?

314
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 5: Hey, chant benefits?

315
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: Do you have the headline I sent you?

316
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: Because we're getting texts from you from wondering why we

317
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: haven't talked about it yet.

318
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 5: It's coming right now, gotcha?

319
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 6: New York Post Thomas Crooks used they them pronouns, had

320
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 6: an obsession with political violence.

321
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 5: And muscle mommies.

322
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: Miranda Devine at the New York Post, who's the one

323
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 3: who broke the hundred laptop story, so sometimes she's onto

324
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 3: big stories. She claims that the Biden Justice Department hit

325
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 3: a bunch of information about the would be assassin who

326
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: shot Trump in the hand that we should have known about,

327
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 3: and it's out now and it's pretty interesting and stuff,

328
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 3: and we get to talk about muscle mommies, which is.

329
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: Something I didn't know anything about, uh nor I muscle

330
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: mommies Okay USA.

331
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 6: Today cloud fare outage impacts Chat GPT, Spotify X and

332
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 6: other websites.

333
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: How are they all tied together like that?

334
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 3: That's what's interesting to me is that I don't know

335
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 3: anything about that world. It's like that outage a couple

336
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 3: of weeks ago, and it turned out it was all

337
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: Amazon's websites. And then that's what I found out. That

338
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 3: Amazon's biggest business isn't it set out me. Ser isn't

339
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: sending me packages, It's hosting various companies. So the way

340
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 3: that all these places are tied together is completely unknown

341
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: to most of us.

342
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: I think.

343
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 6: From Chat GPT per Chat GPT study finds Chat GPT's

344
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 6: hallucination problem study finds more than half of AI's references

345
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 6: are fabricated or contain errors.

346
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 3: I have a theory on that. I actually want to

347
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: talk to somebody in AI about it, but we'll get

348
00:16:59,080 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 3: to that later.

349
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 6: This cloud fair outage is affecting the Babylon Bee, so

350
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 6: I've moved over to the onion twirling Britney Spears unaware

351
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 6: phone died hours ago.

352
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 3: She was spinning around in her kitchen with her knives. Wait,

353
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 3: think of this thing isn't even on damn it. Oh,

354
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Green as she's broken officially with the President's

355
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: we'll see we got that and other.

356
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: Stuff on the way Armstrong and Geeddy.

357
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 3: I just came across something that for the first time

358
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: makes this whole Epstein saga somewhat interesting to me.

359
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 2: So we'll get to that.

360
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: Wow, maybe you've heard this that Larry Summers has stepped

361
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 3: back from public life. Really so Larry Summers, president Harvard

362
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 3: way back in the day, got fired for correctly saying

363
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: that dudes are better at engineering, math stuff as a

364
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 3: whole than women, because it's just a fact, just demographically,

365
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: demographically as a whole, it's just true. All kinds of

366
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: statistically true can be proven. He said it out loud.

367
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: He had to quit as a president of Harvard. Anyway,

368
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 3: He's still a very powerful strategist and thinker for the

369
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 3: Democrats for a long time. Is like a normal Democrat,

370
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 3: not a wacko. But he was center left guy, very

371
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 3: smart Secretary of the Treasury under Obama, and then you know,

372
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 3: shows up on shows all the time talking about this

373
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: or that. Well, some of the emails from the whole

374
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: Epstein thing that came out last week were pretty embarrassing

375
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 3: for him, and he says he is a horribly embarrassed

376
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 3: and he's resigning from public life. He will keep his

377
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 3: job as a professor at Harvard, but he's no longer

378
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 3: going to be, you know, going on TV shows, speaking

379
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 3: on boards, all that different sort of stuff. What are

380
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 3: the embarrassing emails? And this leads to the first interesting

381
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 3: thing that I've come across, really since the whole Epstein

382
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,959
Speaker 3: saga began. In one set of emails, Larry Summers confided

383
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 3: all back up just a second Summer's statement saying he

384
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 3: is embarrassed in resigning for public life after the release

385
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: of emails between the men as part of all the

386
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 3: blah blah blah we know from last week. Some of

387
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 3: the exchanges with Summers took place in twenty eighteen and

388
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, after the Miami Herald had published a lengthy

389
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 3: investigation into Epstein's abuse of young girls. A decade earlier,

390
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: Epstein had pleaded guilty to charges related to soliciting a

391
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 3: minor for prostitution.

392
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 2: So years after this was all.

393
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 3: Public knowledge that Epstein was a scumbag, you know, he

394
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: was a sexual purf, even if they were of age.

395
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: Not the kind of guy.

396
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: You're a Larry Summers that you should be hanging out

397
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: with and partying with even if they were girls of age.

398
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: The fact that they were underage.

399
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: Puts him in an absolute you shouldn't be going there category.

400
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: But he continued the emaility.

401
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: A quick quick reflection on the fact that the guy

402
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 4: gets tried and convicted. He got a sweetheart deal, but

403
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 4: he did time for trafficking underage girls for the purposes

404
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 4: of prostitution. Then he goes right back to it right

405
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 4: herve with a with a felony conviction on his record.

406
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 3: Eh, and or he understands the world of the powerful,

407
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 3: and he had no reason to think he couldn't continue,

408
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 3: which is going to get to my point here in

409
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 3: a second. But Larry Summers continue to email and with

410
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 3: his good friend it apparently seems to be Jeffrey Epstein.

411
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 3: After that and one set I've email, Summers confided in

412
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: Epstein about his efforts to pursue a romantic relationship with

413
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: a woman he described as a mentee.

414
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 2: You're a mentor and they're your mentees. Wow.

415
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 3: So he gets a hold of Epstein says, I'm mentoring

416
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 3: this girl. How do I go about you know, getting

417
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 3: her in the sack. Oh wow, you go to an expert,

418
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 3: right right. Epstein offered him advice and called himself Summers wingman.

419
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 3: I'll be your wingman. Ha ha ha. This is after

420
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 3: you knew what kind of guy he was. And other messages,

421
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: Summers quipped about women's intelligence that's the topic that led

422
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 3: to his resignation at Harvard, and complained about punishment of

423
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: men who hit on women in the workplace.

424
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: So blah blah, blah blah blah.

425
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 3: What I wanted to get to that I found really

426
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 3: really interesting was something Rich Lowry of National Review wrote

427
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 3: what he took from all these emails that came out

428
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: last week. So often journalists like myself attempt to demonstrate

429
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: to family members and voters in the far reaches of

430
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 3: the country, away from centers of power and money, that

431
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 3: their conspiracy theories are false. I end up in that

432
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: situation myself that politicians are flawed, but the corruption is

433
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: not the norm. A lot of these conspiracies aren't true.

434
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 3: Isn't how we all operate. But the Epstein emails suggest otherwise.

435
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 3: They suggest that in fact, there is a widespread code

436
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: among people with power and money who support one another.

437
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 3: They are pals no matter what side of the aisle

438
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: they're in a club, no matter the sins of their members,

439
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 3: transgressions that get contextualized, explained away, understood in quotes. That

440
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 3: does seem to be what we have learned, and that

441
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: includes Donald Trump.

442
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: I guess who.

443
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 3: You know, he was probably more angry about the fact

444
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 3: that Epstein was snatching girls from his club than the

445
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 3: lifestyle of Epstein, Right, yeah, I.

446
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: Suspect that's true.

447
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know if it's the same piece

448
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 4: or a different one Rich wrote, but he's writing about

449
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 4: the Epstein conspiracy and plain sight, this guy was an

450
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 4: unbelievable networker. He had rich and powerful friends, which tend

451
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 4: to attract rich and powerful friends. He appeared to be

452
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: wealthy or at least very very close to wealth, and

453
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 4: he was extremely helpful to people. And you know, it's funny.

454
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 4: I've run into people who are like that wouldn't be enough.

455
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 4: I actually know at least probably two people, one in

456
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 4: particular like that, unbelievably charming and outgoing, intelligent, funny, really helpful,

457
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 4: and actually enjoys introducing you would.

458
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 2: Really like this person, just a master networker, really nice,

459
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 2: person too.

460
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 4: By the way, for what it's worth, I can absolutely

461
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 4: buy that that's why he had so many rich and

462
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 4: powerful friends. He was just that kind of guy operating

463
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 4: in the upper reaches of Manhattan society.

464
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: I don't think that means.

465
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 4: Everybody who is nice to him was molesting sixteen year olds.

466
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 3: No, but it does mean apparently, or at least Rich

467
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: Lowry is writing that, it does mean that if you

468
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 3: find out he's that kind of guy.

469
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: You think, yeah, whatever.

470
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, people have their flaws and you don't,

471
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: and politics go out the window at that point. Who's

472
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: a Democrat, who's a Republican? Despite what you say on

473
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 3: talk shows about the other side being evil, y'all all

474
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: hang out together and keep your secrets from each other

475
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: or with each other from the public. Apparently, Yeah, oh yeah, yeah,

476
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 3: absolutely so, Rich writes, populists have a different narrative at

477
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 3: hand that is consistent with the known record, namely that

478
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: most of the privileged members of our society, at the

479
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 3: very top of the financial, academic, political, media, and social worlds,

480
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 3: had no standards or ethics and embraced Epstein as a

481
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 3: friend and can singly Epstein knew influential people so influential,

482
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 3: people felt that they should know him. They considered him

483
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 3: fun and useful for advice, for banter, for introductions, for information,

484
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 3: and for donations. Emails suggest and there are thousands of them,

485
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: that Epstein missed his calling as a high level SEEMI

486
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 3: advice columnist for the rich and powerful. Want to know

487
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 3: more about the reputation of the woman you're having an

488
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: affair with, seeking advice on how to gain political influence

489
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 3: in Europe, Wondering how you're handling your interactions with a

490
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 3: potential mistress, looking for insights about Donald Trump, trying to

491
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: survive sexual harassment allegations, need a reference for a gastro enterologist, Well,

492
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 3: then ask Jeffrey Epstein, what is the nature of the emails?

493
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: And rich points out emailed even with former Harvard president

494
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 3: Larry Summers just mentioned the linguist Gnome Chomsky, venture capitalists

495
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 3: I've never heard of, Emarati businessman Sultan Nahmad bid Salayam,

496
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 3: Trump activist Steve Bannon, the journalist Michael Wolfe, the artist

497
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 3: Andre Serrano, the department store sci on Jonathan fark Is,

498
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 3: former White House counsel Catherine Rumler, among many others.

499
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: That is something.

500
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 4: If Rolodex has still existed, he'd have like the best

501
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 4: rolodex in the world.

502
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 3: How about the fact that a guy like Larry Summers,

503
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: after it's known publicly known what kind of guy Epstein is,

504
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: is still going with him. Hey, I got this chick

505
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 3: I'm mentoring and I kind of want to get with her.

506
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 3: What do you suggest?

507
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: What?

508
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 4: I wonder what he was telling his friends about the

509
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 4: first conviction. I bet he said he's got he got railroaded.

510
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 4: I don't know, and they chose to believe it.

511
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 3: So the House is voting on the releasing of the

512
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: Epstein files today. A lot of mainstream media is still

513
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 3: treating this as the most important story in America. One

514
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: interesting caveat that doesn't get brought up that much is

515
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: Trump has the power to release all these files like

516
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 3: last week. Of course, so did Biden, by the way,

517
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: but Trump could skip all this voting and you know,

518
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 3: going out there and saying I want all the Republicans vote,

519
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 3: where he doesn't even need to have the voting.

520
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: He could just say let him lose. He's got that power.

521
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 3: Although it might be like you said earlier, he knows

522
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: it's going to die in the Senate so they're not

523
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 3: going to come out.

524
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: Regardless of that.

525
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 3: They're having a press conference right now Representative Massey, who've

526
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 3: played a lot of the Republican who wants everything to

527
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 3: come out along with the Rocanna Democrat. They're a co

528
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: chairs of whatever the Scumbag Committee I get. Apparently that's

529
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 3: the committee they're own to release the files. And they're

530
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 3: there with a whole bunch of the victims. These are

531
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 3: women that worked for Jeffrey Epstein and had to do

532
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 3: all these horrible things. Last night on MSNBC when I

533
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 3: was watching them or what's it called now ms ms now?

534
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 3: Last night on ms now, they said there are.

535
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 2: A thousand victims. A thousand. So doesn't that mean some

536
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 2: to you?

537
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 3: That there are a thousand women out there who have

538
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 3: come forward and not one of them is claiming that

539
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 3: she was in a room making out with Donald Trump?

540
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 2: Not one of them. Doesn't that mean something to you

541
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: in terms.

542
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 4: Of the whole this is going to get to Trump.

543
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 4: I need to know about the thousand quote unquote victims.

544
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 4: I need to know more about that. I don't even

545
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 4: know what that means.

546
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 2: But doesn't that seem odd? That not?

547
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: It's not odd because I don't think Trump was doing that,

548
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 3: but that you're running a theory that Trump is going

549
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 3: to get nailed on this. This is the big cover up.

550
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 3: You got a thousand women out there, not one of

551
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 3: them is saying and you know, you'd think there'd be

552
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 3: one of them saying and even to weren't true, just

553
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 3: because it'd be exciting and you'd get you a lot

554
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 3: of tension and you could get on all the shows

555
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 3: and maybe write a book. But nobody's saying.

556
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 4: That, right, Yeah, yeah, it's it's ridiculous. Honestly, I've thought

557
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 4: that most of this whole thing is ridiculous for a

558
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 4: long time, as I've tried to make clear. But so

559
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 4: we got well, the entire Democratic Party, in about a

560
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 4: third of the Republican Party was trying desperately to assassinate

561
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 4: his character for the last ten years, especially in the

562
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 4: run up to the last election, to the point of

563
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 4: twisting laws and engaging in some of the most egregious

564
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 4: and shameless lawfair ever seen in the history of the republic.

565
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 4: But they had these smoking guns of child rape and

566
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 4: they just what forgot well, and then it just lakers belief, well,

567
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 4: who are you applying the word? They too, because you

568
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 4: got the other angle of You had some of the

569
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 4: most prominent mega voices in America for the past many

570
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 4: years have been claiming there's this giant child predator conspiracy

571
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 4: trafficking thing going on, including Dan Bongino of the FBI.

572
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 4: That's another third of the GOP that would want to

573
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 4: dig that up if they had it right.

574
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 3: So you got that whole angle of it. And Marjorie

575
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 3: Taylor Green was in that crowd. She is about as

576
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: magga as anybody out there, very high profile.

577
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: Everyone knows that.

578
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 3: Georgia House member is you know, well she this is

579
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 3: this is days ago when Trump didn't want Republicans to

580
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: vote yesterday.

581
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: He now says vote yesterday.

582
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 3: But when he was saying, don't vote yesterday, and he

583
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,479
Speaker 3: went after a couple of people like Lauren Bobert and uh,

584
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Green.

585
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: And then she's Marjorie.

586
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 3: Trader, colderplond, bad built, but called her a trader and

587
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: a lunatic, which I like that term. He called her

588
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: a lunatic, and she is kind of broken with Trump.

589
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: And here she is a little more.

590
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: She said today I was called a trader by a

591
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: man that I fought for five, no, actually six years

592
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: for and I gave him my loyalty for free. I

593
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: won my first selection without his endorsement, beating eight men

594
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: in a primary. And I've never owed him anything, but

595
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: I fought for him, for the policies and for America first.

596
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: And he called me a trader for standing with these

597
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition.

598
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what a trader is. A trader

599
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: is a is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves.

600
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: A patriot is an American that serves the United States

601
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: of America and Americans like the women standing behind me.

602
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 3: That's a pretty definitive. I'm breaking with this guy. What's

603
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 3: that Taylor Swift song? We are never ever ever getting

604
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 3: back together?

605
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah?

606
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: So where is the MAGA movement now? One of the leaders,

607
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 3: one of the queens of MAGA has said, nah, I

608
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 3: don't know this guy anything, and I'm a patriot suggesting

609
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 3: he is not. Yeah, huh, he can't run again. That's

610
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: part of it. That's the whole lame duck thing, right.

611
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 4: Well, the only constant has changed, and the MAGA movement

612
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 4: is changing before our eyes.

613
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

614
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 3: Wow, that's wild. We got mail bag on the way.

615
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 3: We got a lot more. We've got to get to

616
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 3: the things now known about the guy that shot Trump

617
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: in the head and tried to kill him, that we

618
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: should have known.

619
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 2: What about muscle mommies.

620
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: And we're gonna learn about muscle mommies, which I didn't

621
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 3: know were a thing all coming up?

622
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: Stay here, Yeah, I just looked it up.

623
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 3: Larry Summers is married, so he had to explain to

624
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: his wife last week. So you were mentoring a woman

625
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 3: and you called Jeffrey Epstein for advice on how to

626
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: get her into bed. Okay, that's quite the public revelation.

627
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 2: That's not a good look. No it's not.

628
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 4: I mean it's not like anyone. Anybody's not heard of

629
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 4: old Jeffrey. Unbelievable. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day.

Speaker 4: I love this, sent to us by me. It's a

631
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 4: great article about the BBC and it's incredible bias.

632
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: And the writer points out.

633
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 4: On the day the uh oh, there's a big revelation,

634
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 4: the day they unveiled the statue of George Orwell outside

635
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 4: of the headquarters, and they point out that Orwell would

636
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 4: recognize better than anyone the ethos that controls his former workplace.

637
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 2: Quote.

638
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 4: At any given moment, there is an orthodoxy, a body

639
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 4: of ideas which it is assume that all right thinking

Speaker 2: Question or well if you need them, no kidding.

642
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 4: There's an incredible battle going on in the transgender madness,

643
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 4: specifically in the American medical community, in which that very

644
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 4: thing was going on in the most insane way. A

645
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 4: body of ideas which it is assumed that all right

646
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 4: thinking people will accept without question. That's one of the

647
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 4: scariest things about humanity. Mailbag, you guys are freaking me out,

Speaker 2: You guys are freaking me out.

651
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 4: After listening to your segment on the evils of AI

656
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 4: Jack asked what the robot you buy will do for you.

Speaker 4: maybe raise us as pets. Bryan and walla, walla.

665
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that kind of speaks to those toys I was

666
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 3: talking about earlier in the hour.

667
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: The very thing.

668
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 4: Guys, you decry the danger of AI companionship, then run

669
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 4: an ad for it. Ha ha. I know you don't

670
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 4: control the advertising on all your many platforms, but on

671
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 4: Monday Show you're saying you're coming back with a story

672
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 4: of how many lawsuits a against AI that befriended and

673
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 4: urged suicide as a kid. Then the podcast advertisement comes

674
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 4: on selling an AI companion book.

675
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: Hilarious.

676
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 4: Oh boy, Marina from San Diego. Guys, having men, young

677
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 4: men addicted to big text devices seems like a short

678
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 4: sighted goal for the tech industry. Why aren't they seeing

679
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 4: the long game? Eventually young men will be manic depressed,

680
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 4: won't be able to have jobs to pay for these devices,

681
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 4: that will be able to keep a roof over their heads,

682
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 4: and they won't procreate, so no new customers. Also, imagine

683
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 4: a war breaks out and they have to go fight

684
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 4: with no motivation or sweetheart back home. Well, they have

685
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 4: to fight for We're screamed.

686
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 3: Probably probably, yes, Yeah.

687
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: Let's see JT in Livermore. I know in politics, if

688
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: you're explaining, you're losing.

689
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 4: But when it comes to affordability, we really need to explain.

690
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 2: He says.

691
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 4: For example, one of the largest price increases over the

692
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 4: last few years been car and homeowners insurance. Both of

693
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 4: those things are set on the state level. Trump really

694
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 4: can't do much about that. Tariffs are no tariffs. Blue

695
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 4: states are the most expensive, driving up the costs. Another

696
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 4: big mover for decades the cost of college, again driven

697
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 4: by the states worst defenders being progressive colleges and states.

698
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 4: While Trump can deregulate energy production drill baby drill, and

699
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 4: thereby bring down some energy costs, he can't keep states

700
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 4: from shutting down the nuclear plants. Can't keep them from

701
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 4: throwing money away on solar panels and wind turbines, et cetera.

702
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: Again, the Blue States did over housing.

703
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 4: Trump is indirectly in control of mortgage race, or is

704
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 4: he able to impact the number of rental properties that

705
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 4: are built or not built. I would add housing regular

706
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 4: regulations et cetera. There's not all that much the poters

707
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 4: can do about affordability.

708
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 2: And we ought to be letting people know that.

709
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 3: His point, and he's right, yeah, and that's why he's

710
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 3: going for stuff he can have some effect on, like

711
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 3: coffee and bananas.

712
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 4: Interestingly, interestingly, though, he points out that potuses can drive

713
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 4: up prices with focus spending that drives inflation, like the

714
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 4: multi trillion dollar New Green Deal.

715
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do a lot.

716
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,920
