Those are two very different direction 13 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: to go. How y'all do it? 14 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 4: I do both speak to the stupidity of so much 15 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 4: of the discourse these days. I don't know if you've 16 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 4: noticed our politics, our media are social media. All's really 17 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 4: really stupid. Yeah, I gotta say, I find it harder 18 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 4: to do this job really then probably ever would have 19 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 4: done it, because just so many of the stories are 20 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 4: stupid and uh, I don't know, I don't know how 21 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 4: to approach them. 22 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 2: They're just dumb. They mean the way to being reported 23 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: it's dumb. I don't know. 24 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 4: I don't know what there is to say about it 25 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 4: other than keep repeating that this isn't true, This isn't true. 26 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 4: That isn't true, This isn't true, right, and it's all 27 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,199 Speaker 4: that's dumb. This is true even if you hate Trump, 28 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 4: this is true, even if you love Trump, right, all 29 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 4: that stuff. 30 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many layers of like clouding. 31 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 4: Over you know, what's what's true, what's good, what's important 32 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 4: in life? And so much of what we see and 33 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,639 Speaker 4: gets thrust at us is not leading us to truth 34 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 4: or happiness or anything else. 35 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: Just clickbait and crap. 36 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, which is somebody's goal, in Russia's goal or whoever, 37 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 4: to just get us so inundated with crap that we 38 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 4: just kind of tune out and then we'll between our 39 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 4: adversaries and our own greed heads. Yeah, then what happens 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 4: when we all just tune out? Or I don't suppose 41 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 4: there's any difference between tuning out or tuning into stuff 42 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 4: that's not true. I don't suppose there's a lot of difference. 43 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 4: And in terms of functioning discourse. Got an example that 44 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 4: coming up later. I want to get to that sooner 45 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 4: rather than later, because it's something I was asked yesterday 46 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 4: about by someone who was completely serious. Did you see 47 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 4: the Epstein file about George HW Bush and how he 48 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 4: was participating. Now, prepare yourself for this. Okay, this is 49 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 4: our stuff. 50 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: George H. W. 51 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 4: Bush was participating in the rapes and dismemberments of babies. 52 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: Heeorge HW. Bush. Yes, not that that would be any 53 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: more likely if his George W. 54 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 4: Bush or Barack Obama or really anybody else other than 55 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 4: like Hannibal Lecter, I mean, just nobody does this sort 56 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 4: of thing. But so there's a document in the Epstein files. 57 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 4: Actually in the Epstein files, somebody had reported to a 58 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 4: hotline that George H. W. Bush had been seen at 59 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 4: some sort of gathering, you know, weird elite Satan Cato 60 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 4: file cult org thing, raping children and dismembering babies. Yes, yes, 61 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 4: for his jolly's and those of his fellow party goers. Yes, yeah, 62 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 4: And people were witnessed to this sort of thing. Now, 63 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 4: that document is in the Epstein files because some crank 64 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 4: or crazy person did call the hotline and report that. 65 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 4: So they put that in the file. But they followed 66 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: up on it briefly. They couldn't figure out who this 67 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 4: person was. They couldn't come up with any corroboration of 68 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 4: any kind, like even in the slightest anywhere, And they 69 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 4: had no belief at all that it was true, and 70 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 4: and of course not, of course they didn't, you know, 71 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 4: But I was talking to somebody yesterday and then I 72 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 4: went online and saw there's lots of people who believe 73 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 4: that and are horrified, absolutely horrified that the Clintons and 74 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: the Obamas, and the Bushes and the Hollywood elite and 75 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 4: the Jews, because the Jews are in charge of it all, 76 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 4: are are, you know, raping babies and dismembering them at parties? 77 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: Right? I mean, how freaking crazy is that? 78 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 4: You know, stepping back from the specifics just briefly, that's 79 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: sort of crazy. As always existed, it just has not 80 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 4: had a fuel line connected to it, namely a you know, 81 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 4: the Internet and social media and every other crank in 82 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 4: the world, but be a situation where the powers that 83 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 4: be decide, you know, we never release the raw you know, 84 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 4: un what to us, the proper word assessed, you know, 85 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 4: everything from an investigation, including crank tips. We never do 86 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 4: that because it would bring it, you know, a shame, 87 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 4: disreputor at least suspicion on people who don't deserve it. 88 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 2: So we just don't do that. 89 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 4: But now we do, yeah, which is partly because of 90 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 4: the aforementioned crazy people, or fueled by the whole online thing. 91 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, two things. 92 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,559 Speaker 4: One, do you have the slightest guess whether there's five 93 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 4: thousand people that believe that in the United States or 94 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 4: five million people that believe it. I don't really have 95 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 4: the slightest idea, and it's hard to tell online. I 96 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 4: was checking out some of the responses. You know, some 97 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 4: of them are your classic like Twitter, seem made up 98 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 4: because they have two followers or whatever. 99 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: But there's quite a few people that sure look like 100 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 2: real people. 101 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 5: Yeah. 102 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 4: Well, you've highlighted the difficulty in even making a guess 103 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 4: as to how many people it is. There's probably somewhere 104 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 4: between five thousand and five million, although according to the 105 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 4: late figures, if you're one in a million in America, 106 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 4: there are three hundred. 107 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: And forty two of you. 108 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I sure hope it's closer to five thousand, but 109 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 4: either way, there's that angle of it. And then two, Yeah, 110 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 4: like you said, I'm sure this if you released every 111 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 4: shred of information about nine to eleven investigation, I don't 112 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 4: know it ran contra Reagan being shot. I'm sure there's 113 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 4: all kinds of crazy crap. In there that went nowhere 114 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 4: from some anonymous tip line somebody or a drunk person 115 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 4: at a hotel or whatever. Right, that never turned out 116 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 4: to be anything, and shouldn't you know, see the light 117 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: of day. Right, But now we live in a word 118 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 4: where that world where that can be disseminated and like 119 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 4: somebody put a narrative together around it and it becomes 120 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 4: a thing. And then not not to indulge in self 121 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 4: pity or anything like that, because you know, we've got 122 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 4: a great job and it's it's where we're lucky fellers. 123 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 2: But how much of that stuff do you then respond to? 124 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 4: I don't know, because some days I think, oh my god, 125 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 4: we've got to respond to this, because it seems to be, 126 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 4: you know, everybody's hearing it, everybody's seeing it, So we 127 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 4: probably ought to address this particular you know, nut jobbery, 128 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 4: But I don't know. Meanwhile, over here, there are half 129 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 4: a dozen ways Donald J. Trump is challenging convention, and 130 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 4: not in a good way. There's certainly half a dozen 131 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 4: worries challenging it in a very very good way. There's 132 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 4: half a dozen others where it's like, why are you 133 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 4: doing this? You're creating way too much chaos and angst 134 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 4: on top of everything else that's going on. So I 135 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 4: don't know, I don't know, the world just feels like 136 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 4: it is on fire. 137 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: But is it? 138 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 4: Is it the ruminations of a small percentage of people 139 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 4: that's mostly that will not completely because there are a 140 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 4: lot of real things happen. Russia had one of their 141 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 4: biggest attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure last night of the 142 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 4: entire war, right while they're supposed to be close to 143 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 4: making a deal, so whatever the hell that means making 144 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 4: a deal, and you know, and all kinds of different 145 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 4: things that are real, but then you throw on all 146 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 4: this other stuff. 147 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: And I don't know how much, but it's even real. 148 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 4: So it's very frustrating, but it can give you the 149 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 4: sense that everything's coming apart. All right, we need to 150 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 4: have a consortium of our smartest listeners, all of you. 151 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 2: Certainly, what standard you looking at you now? 152 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 6: You? 153 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 4: What standard should everybody use for what they pay attention to? 154 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 4: Is it will this impact my life directly? I mean, 155 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 4: just to throw out an obvious one. People's particular fantasies 156 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 4: about George H. W. Bush, for instance, And I would 157 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 4: be curious to know if I were to put together. 158 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 4: You know something even more lurid and horrifying than that. 159 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 4: We had a couple of well, I've had a couple 160 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 4: of ideas flashed into my head, but I don't want 161 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 4: to say him out loud, because number one, it will 162 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 4: sicken you, good people, And number two, I will probably 163 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 4: be committed to a mental hospital for even saying them 164 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 4: out loud. But would you believe that if I went 165 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 4: a step beyond like he? How about a step beyond that, 166 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 4: like after he dismembered the babies having raped them, he 167 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 4: got into a spaceship and went back to his home planet. 168 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 4: Well yeah, or just you know even more horrifying in 169 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 4: lurid scenarios involving humans and dog fighting and wild animals 170 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 4: and witchcraft.

How fast is 345 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 4: leacoln first it what's it leacoln onto. Wait a minute, 346 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 4: Well they're putting it off for a whole month, so 347 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 4: it'll be the first week of March before we launch. 348 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 2: Now, So Katie, I'm Katy Perry. Let's got a spat. 349 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 4: Unfortunately it's not astronaut Katie Perry that is ahead of NASA, 350 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 4: Katy Perry. 351 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 2: Yes, our Katie. 352 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 4: Katie Green had a headline in her news about China 353 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 4: having a new flying aircraft carrier, which is a little troubling. 354 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 4: So I don't know how much y'all know about aircraft carriers, 355 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 4: but like we really were the only country in the 356 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 4: world that had them at all until about a decade ago, 357 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 4: and then China built their first real aircraft carrier and 358 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 4: now they have a handful. But we still dominate the 359 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 4: world with aircraft carriers because they're a really big deal. 360 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 4: If we send an aircraft carrier somewhere off your coast, 361 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 4: well see Venezuela, see maybe perhaps ran soon it, the 362 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 4: amount of military force that we can project out of 363 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 4: that is just absolutely amazing, especially. 364 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: Because they're surrounded by other ships that carrier group. 365 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, anyway, we got eleven active aircraft carriers. China currently 366 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 4: has three. But now China is building this. They just 367 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 4: unveiled plans to build a Star Wars style warship capable 368 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 4: of deploying unmanned fighter jets and firing missiles from space. Oh, 369 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 4: the Communist Party released a concept to video yesterday showing 370 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 4: I don't know how to pronounce it, which would be 371 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 4: the world's largest aircraft carrier period. And then this one 372 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 4: flies speeding through the Earth's atmosphere of va all current air. 373 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 2: Defense systems, which is somewhat troubling. Yeah. 374 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 4: The terrifying machine, according to the Sun, will be a 375 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 4: massive gray, triangular behemoth measuring nearly eight hundred feet long 376 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 4: and two thousand feet wide. It's touted to have a 377 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 4: takeoff weight of one hundred and twenty thousand tons, dwarfing 378 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 4: any other similar carrier in use today. It would surpass 379 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 4: the largest existing aircraft aircraft carrier, which is the USS 380 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 4: Gerald are Ford, by twenty percent, so twenty percent bigger 381 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 4: than the Gerald or Ford, our biggest aircraft carrier. But 382 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 4: I'm not even sure why we're continuing to compare it 383 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 4: to aircraft. 384 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 2: It's an aircraft since it will be flying. It couldn't 385 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 2: it won't be. 386 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 4: They expect that to hit the skies in about twenty years. 387 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 4: Skeptics have branded it a stunt and designed to inspire 388 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 4: the Chinese public, although maybe it's not. 389 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 2: Anyway I could see some sort of drone ship. 390 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 4: Well, it might not look quite as Star WARSI and 391 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 4: one of the great shots in cinematic history. By the way, 392 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 4: that opening shot in Star Wars. For Star Wars, I've 393 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 4: been saying for a while, we all need to get 394 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 4: prepared for the maybe coming like in the next couple months, 395 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 4: the militarization of the sky in a way that you 396 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 4: know was just nobody was thinking about not that long ago, 397 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 4: because you know, space is just we all worked together 398 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 4: and the Soviet cosmonauts in the United States shaking hands 399 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 4: in the space station because there are no conflicts in space. 400 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 2: We somehow came to believe when I was a child. 401 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 2: That's hilarious. It is hilarious. 402 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 4: It's ridiculous, And it's going to be exactly like you know, 403 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 4: any new piece of land discovered on Earth. It's going 404 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 4: to be a battle among the powers for who gets 405 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 4: to control it and what the resources are. 406 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 2: And it's going to be ugly. 407 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 4: And I hope our technology wins out, but that's gonna 408 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 4: happen real dam soon. That's one of the reasons we're 409 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 4: going around the moon. Hey, China, get away from our moon. 410 00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 2: Night. 411 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 4: Suddenly had a mental picture invade my brain of Billie 412 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 4: Eilish floating around in an astronaut costume saying. 413 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: No one is illegal in stolen space. No one is 414 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 2: illegal on stolen land. You're at child, be quiet. The 415 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 2: grown ups are talking. 416 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 4: Well, speaking of futuristic and militaristic endeavors. I thought, this 417 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 4: is interesting anthropic. That's your open AI people. No, that's 418 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 4: the claud people. I'm sorry, indeed, Claude. They got a 419 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 4: two hundred million dollar contract from the Defense Department last 420 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 4: summer and everybody said, ooh, good for Anthropic man, they're 421 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 4: doing good stuff. But now apparently their their relationship with 422 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 4: a Pentagon is on the rocks. They're at odds over 423 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 4: certain contractual terms. According to the Anthropics terms and conditions, 424 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 4: they dictate that Claude cannot be used for any actions 425 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 4: related to domestic surveillance, and so that would affect like 426 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 4: ICE and FBI and stuff and how they could use it. 427 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 4: And also their other issue was that it would it 428 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 4: cannot be used for any fully autonomous killing systems, and Thropic. 429 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 2: Won't let it be used for that. All right, that 430 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 2: helps you sleep at night? 431 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 4: I don't you know, it's funny you're reacting the same 432 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 4: way I was. I'm like, that's that's kind of what 433 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,239 Speaker 4: it's for. But you know, what's the what's the name 434 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 4: of a guy that runs on Thropic. I should know it 435 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 4: because he was featured on sixty minutes earlier this year. 436 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 4: He's an interesting dude. But I was taken in a 437 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 4: podcast the other day. And so there's about to be 438 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,719 Speaker 4: some acquisitions going on that's going to like blow up 439 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 4: the whole AI world, Like some of your big companies 440 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 4: are gonna get like Grock's gonna get swallowed up by 441 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 4: somebody or you know, chat chat GPT. 442 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 2: Go ahead, Katie runs it as Dario Emodi.

But it's like Alexander Graham Bell's hanging. 460 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 4: You know, one thing I insist upon. Here's my invention, 461 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 4: never be used by any spy agencies or militaries to 462 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 4: make telephonic calls about killing people. It's like, Okay, sure, Alex, 463 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 4: sure we won't use it for that. I had a 464 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 4: friend who was a super genius computer programmer. This is 465 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 4: twenty years ago, but he was being courted by all 466 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 4: the big schools in the country. Ended up going to 467 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 4: Cornell because they wanted him in the their PhD programs 468 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 4: and that sort of stuff like teaching. But his main 469 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 4: thing was he didn't want to be associated with any 470 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 4: program that had any ties with DARPA. 471 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 2: Or anything like that, you know, our Pentagon stuff. 472 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 4: And I just just so stupid. I mean, you're the 473 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 4: best and brightest in this country. They got the best 474 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 4: and brightest in China trying to figure out a way 475 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 4: to subjugate you. You don't have any interest in trying 476 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 4: to combat that you think you're doing. Pacifism is the 477 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 4: ideology of the moron. That might be insulting to some 478 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 4: of you, but it's an ideology for morons well as. 479 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 2: It is an insult. 480 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 4: It will be insultant to some People's wrong or you're 481 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 4: doing it wrong. 482 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 2: You know, you need to fly. 483 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 4: This is your great this is your saying that gets 484 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 4: recorded bytree.

Oh my god, use the pacifists as 500 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 4: human shields, which is just interesting. It is interesting, Kevin, 501 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 4: And we got to get back into that Vogue piece 502 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 4: because I dug out some more of the amazing Florid's 503 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 4: statements from the Vogue piece about Gavin Newsom that we 504 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 4: got into some yesterday. Oh, the near sexual servicing of 505 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom in Vogue. 506 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: Hilarious. Absolutely, he laughed. I laughed. 507 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mentioned this already since we were talking about war, 508 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 4: that Russia launched one of their biggest attacks ever on 509 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 4: Ukraine's energy grid during one of the coldest winters Ukraine 510 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 4: has had in decades, and so then people not being 511 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 4: able to heat their homes, which is, you know, a 512 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 4: war crime. You know, add it on, you know, stack 513 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,479 Speaker 4: it on with the other war crimes that have been 514 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 4: committed all at the time when they're supposed to be 515 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 4: the closest they've been yet to a peace deal. A 516 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 4: guy launching one of his biggest attacks as a war 517 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 4: crime while you're supposedly close to a deal to me 518 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 4: as a signal maybe I'm reading too much between the 519 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 4: lines that he's not actually interested in. 520 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: A peace deal? Or is it? 521 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 4: Could it be he just like one more really rough 522 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 4: hit to let him know, to make him agreed to 523 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,239 Speaker 4: some tough terms. That one you think it's that one 524 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 4: hundred percent yeah, or he has no intention of of 525 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 4: agreeing to anything. The one thing that only a fantasist 526 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 4: would indulge themselves in right now is thinking that we're 527 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 4: close to a peace deal, says who not Putent and 528 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 4: not Zelensky. 529 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 530 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 4: Zelensky put out a statement today basically saying, aym, he's 531 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 4: got to be careful how he words this so he 532 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 4: doesn't insult his American counterparts, who are claiming every day 533 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 4: that we're close to a peace deal. But saying, you know, 534 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 4: a guy who does this is not really interested in peace, 535 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 4: he said in a very kind way. Yeah, yeah, gently 536 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 4: being schooled in the art of trump whispering. 537 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 2: Yeah that is something, isn't it. So you think it 538 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 2: might be. 539 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 4: Uh making them so despondent and desperate in Ukraine that 540 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 4: they agree to some stuff that they might not have 541 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 4: agreed to before. Oh yeah, yeah, he would be Putin 542 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 4: would be a fool to stop his aggressions on the battlefield. 543 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 4: He's got to make it as unpleasant as possible. That 544 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 4: increases the chances of Ukrainian agreement to unpleasant settlements. Well, 545 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 4: in the last week, it's been a passenger train out 546 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 4: in the country that he blew up, a maternity ward 547 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 4: in one city, and then the energy grid, all war crimes, 548 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 4: but in the span of like five days. So maybe 549 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 4: that's an indication that they were as close to a 550 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 4: piece deal as they've been. The fact that he launched 551 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 4: these three really over the top attacks. Yeah, I've always 552 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 4: been very cynical about the concept of international law and 553 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 4: the idea of a war crime is very much like 554 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 4: the tree that falls in the forest and no one 555 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 4: hears it. If a war crime is committed and no 556 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 4: one is outraged enough to do anything about it, does 557 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 4: that war crime exist? 558 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: Does that even mean? 559 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 4: Well, I guess only that he doesn't give a crap clearly, 560 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,959 Speaker 4: and that people should understand his evil. 561 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: I'm not saying it shouldn't be called a war crime, but. 562 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I understand it's a little childish to start throwing 563 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 4: those terms around. Well, I know it's right, and yet 564 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 4: if nobody has the motivation to do anything about it, 565 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 4: it takes a lot of the all. Well, it takes 566 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 4: all of the power out of the term. 567 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 2: Right. 568 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 4: And if they come to some sort of agreement, you 569 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 4: get to keep this land and Ukraine gets to keep 570 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 4: this big of an army, blah blah blah, None of 571 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 4: that agreement's going to be and you'll stand trial for 572 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 4: your war crimes. 573 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 2: That is not going to be part of the agreement. 574 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 4: So no, it's like theft in California. It used to 575 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 4: be a crime. It isn't anymore, and so people do it. 576 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 4: We've got mail bag on the way. 577 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 2: So much to get to today.

On Acquaintance of Mind was heavily 612 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 4: in a QAnon. She was convinced that Hillary Clinton was 613 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 4: the one with satanic rituals killing babies on Epstein Island. 614 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 4: I guess it won't went both ways. That's the bipartisanship 615 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 4: we're looking for. 616 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh boy. 617 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 4: On the topic of no one is illegal on stolen land, 618 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 4: yours Ryan, no one. 619 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 2: Is illegal on stolen land. Ah, that is so far, 620 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 2: so profound. 621 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 4: Dear illegal warrior and old illegal Jack, the brave billy 622 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 4: Eiler standing against the howling mobs, spoke bravely, no one 623 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 4: is illegal on stolen land. I have to ask, since 624 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 4: the Grammys were on stolen Lane, would she be coold 625 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 4: with letting me in since no one is illegal? When 626 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 4: she has a concert on stolen land, do I need 627 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 4: a ticket? I'm assuming she would call the police or 628 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 4: get her security to give me the wood shampoo. But 629 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 4: her house is on stolen land, Like when the Pope 630 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 4: asks for bridges not walls while standing behind walls, and 631 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 4: they never get the question, why is it okay for 632 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 4: you but not for us? 633 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see she for that. 634 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 4: But I'll bet that in her circles she's, you know, 635 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 4: she feels like she really you know, landed that one. Oh, 636 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 4: being hailed as a heroine, a woman of great courage, 637 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 4: for saying that, in spite of everything she was risking 638 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 4: there in an audio story of full of people who 639 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 4: all agreeing with her. Steve writes, if you speak Spanish 640 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 4: in the Americas, aren't you living on stolen land? 641 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely, of course. Oh thing you think across the border? 642 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 2: The border crossed us. 643 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 4: Now the Conquista doors crossed the ocean, and you people 644 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 4: are idiots. 645 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 2: Let's see. Uh. 646 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 4: Kathy went to see the Millenniam movie Cool. She says, 647 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 4: I went a Trump supporter who doesn't agree with everything, 648 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 4: but I'm thankful. My biggest takeaway was that Malania loves 649 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 4: this country, the constitution, and the importance of America. She 650 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 4: also loves and respects her parents and misses her mother. 651 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 4: She also loves Donald J. Trump, being a mom and 652 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,280 Speaker 4: helping kids. 653 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 2: Also, ha oh boy. 654 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,919 Speaker 4: Well, I guess the movie is entertaining on different levels 655 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 4: for different people. You look like you're poised to say something. 656 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 4: This thing I came across the Washington Post. This was 657 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 4: the Washington Post. TV critics about the Grammys try to 658 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 4: believe that they actually wrote this. 659 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 2: Oh boy. 660 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 4: Politics are often treated like radioactive material on Grammy Night, 661 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 4: But on Sunday something changed. The world outside had finally 662 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 4: become too loud to ignore. How many moons are there 663 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 4: in your world? 664 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 2: Do you have like two or three of them? 665 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 4: What colors the sky? So you're telling me what do 666 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 4: you call the Atlantic Ocean. Politics have been out of 667 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 4: bounds at awards shows throughout history, but Sunday Night this 668 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 4: was just such a true doubling situation that the stars 669 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 4: had to finally speak their minds.
