Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: South Dakota Governor Christy Noan was sworn in on Saturday
Speaker 2: as the Homeland Security Secretary, and she hasn't been this
Speaker 2: happy since the end of Marley and Me.
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good joke.
Speaker 2: I disagree with the knocking of her for shooting those animals,
Speaker 2: but I thought that was a funny joke.
Speaker 1: I would agree.
Speaker 2: We have breaking Mona Lisa news, breaking Mona Lisa news.
Speaker 2: So the most visited and largest museum in the world
Speaker 2: is the Louver in Paris, France. I've never been there.
Speaker 2: I hope to attend to someday. I will not see
Speaker 2: the Mona Lise I've known for my entire adult life.
Speaker 2: I will never see the Mona Lise. And that's fine,
Speaker 2: because there ain't no frequent way. I'm standing in line
Speaker 2: for two hours for one painting with a bunch of
Speaker 2: numb nuts who want to get a selfie with it
Speaker 2: so they can put on their Instagram.
Speaker 3: I just wait in line for two days to see
Speaker 3: it because I've heard of it before, and I could
Speaker 3: then tell people I.
Speaker 1: Saw it right.
Speaker 2: Eighty percent of the people who go to the Louver
Speaker 2: and what did I just read? Three million people a
Speaker 2: year due again, the largest most attended museum in the world.
Speaker 1: Eighty percent of those go for the Mona Lise.
Speaker 2: Okay, wow, fine, fine, But so they've been talking about
Speaker 2: this for years and now they're going to do it,
Speaker 2: and Emmanuel mcrone made an announcement today standing in front
Speaker 2: of them Mona Lisa. I'm going to move it into
Speaker 2: a separate room. It's kind of adjacent to the Louver,
Speaker 2: its own room with its own entrance and its own
Speaker 2: line and its own ticket, and then the rest of
Speaker 2: us who want to go see the other gazillion things
Speaker 2: that are perfectly fantastic don't.
Speaker 1: Have to wade through that crowd to try to see it,
Speaker 1: which just seems like a good idea.
Speaker 3: I could see going on like a cold, rainy day,
Speaker 3: just because it's so iconic. I'd think, oh, wow, that's wild, that's.
Speaker 2: Not actually anti looking at it, But I ain't standing
Speaker 2: in the line for two hours for it. When you
Speaker 2: only have a limited time to look at every standards,
Speaker 2: it's just dumb. But I will say this which argues
Speaker 2: against me. I've seen two paintings in the last two
Speaker 2: years that are iconic that I'd never seen in person,
Speaker 2: and they looked much different person, strikingly impressive in person
Speaker 2: in a way that they never had in any photo
Speaker 2: I'd ever seen, the Irises from Van Go and then
Speaker 2: the one I saw in DC. Just recently, one of
Speaker 2: Monet's Impressionist paintings, one of his most famous ever, leaves France,
Speaker 2: but they made some sort of special deal with the
Speaker 2: National Gallery for an Impressionist exhibit, so it just was
Speaker 2: there briefly. It's already gone, and seeing that in person
Speaker 2: and seeing the way it was painted was like I'd
Speaker 2: never I would have never been able to pick that
Speaker 2: up from any picture. It's more impressive than it was.
Speaker 2: So maybe the Bona Lease would be that way. I
Speaker 2: don't know, But again, I'm not waiting in line with
Speaker 2: a bunch of numbnuts. It's like I was saying when
Speaker 2: I came back from Washington, DC, why are most of
Speaker 2: the people there. It seems pretty clear to me walking
Speaker 2: around museums and monuments, very few people want to be there.
Speaker 2: None of the kids want to be there, and very
Speaker 2: few of adults even seem to want to be there,
Speaker 2: So why.
Speaker 1: Are you there?
Speaker 2: Why did you do something else for those of us
Speaker 2: that want to be there so it could just be quieter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is an interesting phenomenon. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Or maybe it's that they just they don't enjoy it
Speaker 3: nearly as much as you do, and so they behave
Speaker 3: very different.
Speaker 2: I really think there's just a lot of I need
Speaker 2: to tell people I've seen this. I think I don't know.
Speaker 2: And my favorite example of being annoyed by crowds is
Speaker 2: being at the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican in Rome.
Speaker 2: You know, the big Michelangelo painting over your head with
Speaker 2: God reaching out to Adam or whatever, and they're trying
Speaker 2: to touch fingers of that whole thing over your head.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's absolutely amazing, but it was so packed
Speaker 2: in there and so loud, and every couple of minutes
Speaker 2: an announcement would come on.
Speaker 1: Please, this is a church, this is a place of worship.
Speaker 1: If you could be quiet, please please, this is a
Speaker 1: place of worship. And then the crowd would get down
Speaker 1: to fairly quiet, but then it would go cack cooffey again.
Speaker 1: Then the announcement.
Speaker 2: Come on, this is a church, this is a place
Speaker 2: of worship, please because and then it get a little quiet.
Speaker 2: But then within and I mean in seconds, not over
Speaker 2: a half an hour, in seconds, after people had heard that,
Speaker 2: listen to it. There's something important about what this is
Speaker 2: about mankind.
Speaker 3: I think I just wish God would reach his mighty
Speaker 3: hand down from the ceiling and do some smiting.
Speaker 1: Enough giving the spark of life? How about your whoop?
Speaker 1: Some mess?
Speaker 2: Two seconds, people say, oh, we probably should be quiet.
Speaker 2: This is a church and everything other people are talking.
Speaker 2: I guess if other people are talking, it's okay for
Speaker 2: me to talk.
Speaker 1: I don't carry more. I don't carry more. Oh, there's
Speaker 1: the announcement again. I guess I should be calling. I
Speaker 1: really don't like human beings making me insane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's why deface didn't ended up in a
Speaker 2: Roman prison for quite some time.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, you ever been in a Roman prison? Johnny?
Speaker 3: So this bears one more tip of the cap. Joe Biden, or,
Speaker 3: accordington Nelly Bowles of the Free Press, whoever was wearing
Speaker 3: his skin.
Speaker 1: Suit last week.
Speaker 3: That would be a week before whoever was running the
Speaker 3: White House, decided that he would simply unilaterally ratify an
Speaker 3: amendment to the United States Constitution. He would add an
Speaker 3: amendment via tweet, as outlined by the framers, and you
Speaker 3: do it right before he leaves office, no warning and
Speaker 3: no follow up. Today I'm quoting today, I'm affirming what
Speaker 3: I've long believed in what three fourths of the states
Speaker 3: have ratified, the twenty eighth Amendment is the law of
Speaker 3: the land, guaranteeing all Americans egal rights and protections under
Speaker 3: law regarding their regardless of their sex.
Speaker 2: So a number of people have speculated that those pardons
Speaker 2: that he pushed through not the ones of his family,
Speaker 2: but the pardons of all some of those horrifying worst
Speaker 2: people on earth, criminals that he let loose. People put
Speaker 2: that in front of him, like you were saying yesterday,
Speaker 2: people with people with an agenda they're Marxists or somebody
Speaker 2: bribed them or whatever, and he didn't really know what
Speaker 2: he was signing. Do you think that's the case with
Speaker 2: this thing. Some people that had esteem for the er
Speaker 2: Amendment just put it in front of him and convinced
Speaker 2: the doddering old man to tweet it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Joe Biden, even in his prime, had no
Speaker 3: principles and was just a backslapping and fairly verbal phony.
Speaker 1: But he generally.
Speaker 3: Didn't do Oh well, let's say he did say some
Speaker 3: crazy stuff. But this, I mean, to declare an amendment
Speaker 3: to the Constitution is hereby enacted. Is I mean, that's
Speaker 3: that's like mental illness stuff. That's like, you know, declaring
Speaker 3: yourself emperor and annexing the guy's house next door.
Speaker 2: It's almost crazier in that than fact that he didn't
Speaker 2: come out and give a speech or anything. I mean,
Speaker 2: that would have been right to make his argument. And
Speaker 2: here's why. No, he tweets it out, doesn't say a
Speaker 2: word about it, and then leaves office.
Speaker 3: And the twenty eighth Amendment in clace you're not aware
Speaker 3: of it is the so called Equal Rights Amendment, which
Speaker 3: makes men and women equal there can be no discrimination
Speaker 3: on the block at all, which is a terrible idea. Oh,
Speaker 3: it's it's it's a horrible idea because I mean, there
Speaker 3: are all sorts of laws that protect women and deal
Speaker 3: with you know, pregnancy and all sorts of things. And
Speaker 3: with all due respect none to the people who use
Speaker 3: terms like birthing people, what we're talking about is women.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it would be endless lawsuits at every level
Speaker 2: of life.
Speaker 3: But anyway, Nelly points out, but regardless, this amendment has
Speaker 3: not been ratified. The three fourths number is wrong. Some
Speaker 3: states ratified then rescind to the ratification. For example, it's
Speaker 3: not in any way the law of the land. But
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris also posted quote, the Equal Rights Amendment is
Speaker 3: the twenty eighth Amendment.
Speaker 1: And it is the law of the land.
Speaker 3: My thing, missus veep, Now let's get you back to
Speaker 3: the residence for your.
Speaker 1: Facial okay again, they tweeted it out.
Speaker 2: They didn't like do any They didn't have any press
Speaker 2: around to answer any questions, to explain what they were
Speaker 2: trying to do or whatever. They just tweeted it out
Speaker 2: and then never said a word about it. My favorite
Speaker 2: part was that within minutes the official archivists, who are
Speaker 2: actually the people that keep track of this sort of.
Speaker 1: Thing, they put the note on there right away. So
Speaker 1: I mean it got shot, got it right here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So to confirm that the twenty eighth Amendment is
Speaker 3: certainly not the law of the land, we turned to
Speaker 3: the archivist of the United States, doctor Colleen Shogun. Anyway,
Speaker 3: apparently this anyway they put out as Archivist and Deputy
Speaker 3: Archivist of the United States, and this is our responsibility
Speaker 3: to uphold the integrity of the constitutional amendment process and
Speaker 3: assure the changes to the Constitution are carried out in
Speaker 3: accordance with the law. At this time, the Equal Rights
Speaker 3: Amendment cannot be certified as part of the Constitution. In short,
Speaker 3: nothing has been done. It's not even within a million
Speaker 3: miles of being the law of land. So but here's
Speaker 3: where it gets even weirder. It's a weird moment, Nelly writes,
Speaker 3: because half the country is now pretending like this amendment
Speaker 3: is real when it's not at all real. Georgetown Law
Speaker 3: is taking a victory lap congratulating one of their professors
Speaker 3: for her work advocating for the era quote, which President
Speaker 3: Biden this morning said should be considered the law of land.
Speaker 3: The School Rights and the leftist Center for American Progress
Speaker 3: celebrated this is the most substantive advancement of women's rights
Speaker 3: in this country since the nineteenth Amendment, which gave women
Speaker 3: the constitutional right to vote in nineteen twenty? Is it?
Speaker 3: Did we just have a moment on par with getting
Speaker 3: the right to vote? Can I also pee?
Speaker 1: Standing? Nothing up?
Speaker 3: Now, Nelly writes, no one seems to mind the constitutional crisis.
Speaker 3: The response was basically, maybe we just ignore it and
Speaker 3: pretend Biden didn't do this, or let it slide. Now
Speaker 3: this one at the bottom reel small, like who cares
Speaker 3: to the Maybe we'll pencil it into the constitution real quick.
Speaker 2: Well, the first part is absolutely true, though everybody just
Speaker 2: pretended like the doddering old president didn't just tweet out
Speaker 2: a constitutional amendment because that would be nuts. And nobody's
Speaker 2: taking this seriously other than you know, activists, law professors
Speaker 2: are trying to score some points, but nobody's actually taking this.
Speaker 2: So that's a pretty Can you imagine if Trump did that?
Speaker 2: If Trump tweeted out an amendment to the Constitution, it
Speaker 2: would be endless jokes on the late night shows on
Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live about how crazy he.
Speaker 1: Is and stupid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, indeed, on that point, to quote Sarah Isger, imagine
Speaker 3: if Donald Trump just declared that he had amended the
Speaker 3: Constitute despite every court in the archive is denying its legitimacy.
Speaker 3: All right, of course, and Nelly finishes up instead, there
Speaker 3: was a collective shrug. So the twenty eighth Amendment can
Speaker 3: be real in your heart or not, whatever, it's not
Speaker 3: a big deal.
Speaker 1: Don't be weird about it. It's real in your heart.
Speaker 2: And there's also the fact that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who
Speaker 2: was a staunch supporter of that amendment, said, Nah, it
Speaker 2: didn't get ratified because the number of states didn't come
Speaker 2: through in time, and then since then it doesn't count
Speaker 2: if you do it afterwards. And then some of the
Speaker 2: ones that ratified it originally have gone backwards and unratified it.
Speaker 1: So it's just not a thing.
Speaker 2: Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg said it was ridiculous back when
Speaker 2: she was alive.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's the nuttiest thing.
Speaker 2: It's not the most important thing or the most evil
Speaker 2: thing Biden did, but it's the nuttiest thing he did.
Speaker 1: Right, crazy, just.
Speaker 2: Bat ass crazy, yes, and almost completely ignored. I remember
Speaker 2: I watched the news that night. It wasn't even on
Speaker 2: the evening newscats. We just added an amendment the Constitution.
Speaker 2: We almost never do that, it seems like unilaterally.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, in a day.
Speaker 2: If Trump did that, that would have been the lead
Speaker 2: story ever reware for days.
Speaker 3: Oh, would be the punchline of all the late night
Speaker 3: jokes and the rest of it. I think that's a
Speaker 3: measure of how clearly senile, useless, and spent Joe Biden was.
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, wow, that's weird.
Speaker 2: I about their business words, which is gonna judge.
Speaker 3: You, donnas.
Speaker 4: One of most significant contributions has been in bade by
Speaker 4: all of America.
Speaker 3: What I'll mark them, I can't understand them more on
Speaker 3: the way.
Speaker 2: I was just reading the article Many York Times about
Speaker 2: moving the Mona Lisa to its own room and how
Speaker 2: currently it's how miserable it is for people. The jostling
Speaker 2: and the anger and the hour's long wait to have
Speaker 2: like forty five seconds to glance from a distance sounds horrible.
Speaker 2: Oh makes me miserable just reading about it. Do you
Speaker 2: remember Jim Acosta If you're following the Trump thing in
Speaker 2: the news, he even if you don't want CNN, he
Speaker 2: would get a lot of attention because he would he
Speaker 2: would bait Trump into arguments and they both benefited from it.
Speaker 1: True.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was in the early days of the first
Speaker 3: Trump administration kind of your your lead candidate for I'm
Speaker 3: the resistance reporter who really mixes it up with him.
Speaker 2: Which I hate to give it away. I guess it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter now he got elected again. It helped Trump.
Speaker 2: You idiots, being an easy foil for him to call
Speaker 2: you the mainstream media and the enemy of the people,
Speaker 2: and you coming off as a jackass helped him get elected.
Speaker 2: You numb nuts. Anyway, Jimmy Cossa didn't care about that.
Speaker 2: He was a show voter, grand standard, just trying to
Speaker 2: become famous.
Speaker 1: Anyway, didn't become famous enough. CNN has no ratings this show.
Speaker 2: I had no ratings. They offered him a show at
Speaker 2: two in the morning. He said no, that's so he's leaving.
Speaker 2: But here he is with some of his goodbye speech.
Speaker 2: I guess that Hansen claims is going to be entertaining.
Speaker 4: Let's see, I've always believed it's the job of the
Speaker 4: press to hold power to account. I've always tried to
Speaker 4: do that here at CNN, and I plan on going
Speaker 4: doing all of that in the future. One final message,
Speaker 4: don't give into the lies. Don't give into the fear.
Speaker 4: Hold on to the truth and to hope, even if
Speaker 4: you have to get out your phone, record that message.
Speaker 4: I will not give into the lies. I will not
Speaker 4: give into the fear. Post it on your social media
Speaker 4: so people can hear from you too. I'll have more
Speaker 4: to say about my plans in the coming days, but
Speaker 4: until then, I want to thank all of you for
Speaker 4: tuning in. Has been an honor to be welcomed into
Speaker 4: your home for all these years. That's the news reporting
Speaker 4: from Washington.
Speaker 1: I'm Jim Acosta. You are welcomed into my home the
Speaker 1: way others are welcome to my home.
Speaker 3: Not yeah, unless you're literally stopping by my home. Your
Speaker 3: plans don't concerned made, don't bother.
Speaker 2: But I would just like to raise my hand when
Speaker 2: you're talking about the importance of speaking truth to power
Speaker 2: and how you continue to do it and other should
Speaker 2: How many shows did you do about Joe Biden's obvious
Speaker 2: mental decline over the last several years and how he
Speaker 2: clearly is not a person in position to be president again.
Speaker 2: You do a lot of spend a lot of time
Speaker 2: on that. A lot of panels were discussing that I'm.
Speaker 3: Sick and un American. It is just stifled dissent During
Speaker 3: COVID perhaps did that come up?
Speaker 2: You spend a lot of time on the eight million
Speaker 2: illegals that came across and how this is untenable and
Speaker 2: something needs to be done, and the laws being broken
Speaker 2: or any of that, and then you speak truth to
Speaker 2: the fifty one powerful intelligence guys who said Hunter's laptop
Speaker 2: was fake. No, I realized this happens on both sides,
Speaker 2: but the speaking truth to only the power on the
Speaker 2: other side is not exactly what that phrase is supposed
Speaker 2: to mean.
Speaker 4: Don't give into the lives, don't give into the fear,
Speaker 4: all right, hold on to the truth and to hope.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, all right, you know he's not even worth
Speaker 3: my breath. Correct, this is correct.
Speaker 2: John Stewart took on the whole Chinese AI thing last
Speaker 2: night on The Daily Show, which will be a good
Speaker 2: way to get back into the conversation about that.
Speaker 1: Does China have a better, cheaper, faster.
Speaker 2: AI than we do now, or at least one as
Speaker 2: good as ours that they built for a lot less
Speaker 2: money and don't need our super fast chips. If so,
Speaker 2: that's a little disturbing, And I hope it's not true.
Speaker 2: If they were able to build for five million dollars
Speaker 2: what it's taking us a couple hundred million dollars to build,
Speaker 2: I'd be bad.
Speaker 3: Well, that's why I stay away from those high flying
Speaker 3: tech stops. I own GM and IBM. If it was
Speaker 3: a good stock in nineteen seventy, it's a good stock now.
Speaker 1: That's my philosophy.
Speaker 2: IBM and the Standard Oil, yes, that's your other stock
Speaker 2: and Woolworth's. This new AI is the number one app
Speaker 2: being downloaded and bought on Apple's platform and Google's platform
Speaker 2: right now. So maybe some of you have tried it.
Speaker 2: If you have text line four one, five, two nine, five,
Speaker 2: k FTC, Armstrong.
Speaker 5: And Getty, you know those companies are singing billions of dollars,
Speaker 5: tons of years and lots.
Speaker 1: Of development into this space.
Speaker 6: Deep seekd it for cheaper in a matter of months.
Speaker 7: Who would have expected the Chinese to do it cheaper?
Speaker 7: I can't believe it. It's as though when you don't
Speaker 7: have labor laws or right by the way.
Speaker 1: I do know this is back to just financially.
Speaker 7: But is anyone else somewhat excited that AI had its
Speaker 7: job replaced by AI?
Speaker 1: Okay, well, go ahead, one more John's and then we'll
Speaker 1: make some points. I'm sure it's not going to be
Speaker 1: that bad.
Speaker 7: Has Chinese AI put American AI out of the job?
Speaker 7: I mean, I'll find out, Siri, how bad is it?
Speaker 1: Tom? Check out my only sends force send me a link.
Speaker 2: To go skank if we can be serious for a second.
Speaker 2: Mark Andresen, who's one of your top tech people around,
Speaker 2: an advisor to the Trump people, said this about China's
Speaker 2: new AI.
Speaker 8: App us investors realizing now that the AI race is
Speaker 8: on and China is hard at work. Silicon Valley advisor
Speaker 8: to President Trump, Mark Andreason said this on x deep
Speaker 8: seek R one is one of the most amazing and
Speaker 8: impressive breakthroughs I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: So the question I guess is did they actually do
Speaker 2: it as far as cheap as they did and using
Speaker 2: chips that aren't as whippy. We don't know that, but
Speaker 2: apparently the actual thing having used it because it's out
Speaker 2: there and you can buy it right now.
Speaker 1: It's the number one app.
Speaker 2: Who are all you people that immediately jump on some
Speaker 2: Chinese app that's going to steal all your information and
Speaker 2: don't care, But it's the number one selling app in
Speaker 2: Apple and Google.
Speaker 1: I didn't download TikTok. I'm not going to download this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think people are just curious to see how it works.
Speaker 3: And again, one of my tech guru friends said the
Speaker 3: fact that it's open source code makes it much less
Speaker 3: insidious Chinese spy wise.
Speaker 2: But I did see the agreement that includes they get
Speaker 2: to look at all your keystrokes. I don't download apps
Speaker 2: that get to do that, especially if it's going to China.
Speaker 2: All right, So actually, if it's going anywhere, but any who,
Speaker 2: if you download that particular app and enjoy it a
Speaker 2: textas because I'd be interested if you're impressed with it.
Speaker 2: Four one, five, nine FTC. Let's hear one more here,
Speaker 2: because I think this is seventy two there, Michael.
Speaker 5: So if this is all true, if is again the keyword.
Speaker 5: It's a major development that's making investors rethink their holdings
Speaker 5: of text docs and what it takes to be really
Speaker 5: competitive when it comes to artificial intelligence. The keyword again
Speaker 5: is if we're not one hundred percent sure if this
Speaker 5: was independently developed by a hedge fund, as the claims
Speaker 5: Arthur was really done in just two months, and if
Speaker 5: they really didn't have access to advanced and video.
Speaker 2: Ships and Mark Andresen yesterday said it is a spotnik moment.
Speaker 2: This is a oh my god, they're ahead of us,
Speaker 2: like happened with the Soviet Union back in the fifties
Speaker 2: in the space race. And Trump said yesterday this should,
Speaker 2: you know, cause us to be laser focused and wake
Speaker 2: us up out of our sleep and really get more aggressive.
Speaker 2: So maybe that'll be the ultimate what comes out of us. Sure,
Speaker 2: that'd be positive. I'm personally more worried about the South
Speaker 2: China Sea and the militarization of those islands and interfering
Speaker 2: with the you know, free navigation of the seas.
Speaker 1: But they're both biggies.
Speaker 2: Both back to the tech thing briefly different tech. I
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about buying the Apple Vision Pro VR headset
Speaker 2: for myself for my birthday.
Speaker 1: Because I came across you can buy them used for
Speaker 1: like half.
Speaker 2: What they calls it's a very expensive setup new it's
Speaker 2: like thirty five hundred to four thousand dollars. You can
Speaker 2: get like for half as much used, barely used it all,
Speaker 2: which says something about the VR thing. I remember when
Speaker 2: the Apple Vision Pro first came out, all the reviews
Speaker 2: were talking about the six month problem with VR. People
Speaker 2: that go out and buy these things six months later
Speaker 2: they're in a drawer. And apparently that is a case
Speaker 2: with a pheromen number of them, because it's easy to
Speaker 2: buy them used. AnyWho, I was really impressed with the
Speaker 2: damn thing. I thought it was amazing. Have you tried
Speaker 2: one out yet? No?
Speaker 1: I have not.
Speaker 2: Mean, you know, you should make an appointment at an
Speaker 2: Apple store near you just to go. It's mind blowing,
Speaker 2: and I mean it really opens your eyes to what
Speaker 2: things could be if they ever whenever they get this
Speaker 2: all dialed in. I mean, it's just it's unlike anything
Speaker 2: I've ever done in terms of technology.
Speaker 1: And what was the full retail of them?
Speaker 2: Or?
Speaker 1: Is about four grand? Yeah? No, it's super expensive.
Speaker 2: But it's also because you know, it's so far beyond
Speaker 2: anything else you've ever done. That's you know, I've done
Speaker 2: the my kids have the Oculus Zuckerberg's thing, and I've
Speaker 2: done various VR stuff various places. This is a completely
Speaker 2: different world of that. There's still the nausea problem. About
Speaker 2: a third of us get nauseous nauseous from VR A third.
Speaker 1: That's a lot, one out of three. I'm one of them.
Speaker 2: And so you know, if you're immediately wanting to throw up,
Speaker 2: it kind of takes the fun out of it. What
Speaker 2: sold me on want to maybe own it this time
Speaker 2: around is the update that Apple just did that I've
Speaker 2: been reading about so you can take VR three D
Speaker 2: spatial photos now with your phone, or you can take
Speaker 2: them with the VR, and then when you look at
Speaker 2: those photos, it's almost disturbing, as we all know that
Speaker 2: something goes on with a two D photo. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's nice to look at a picture of your kid's
Speaker 2: fifth birthday party and now they're you know, college kids.
Speaker 2: It's cool to have that picture, but there's something that's
Speaker 2: lost with the two D nous of it or something
Speaker 2: like that. The photos in the VR headset are as
Speaker 2: if you're sitting there and it screws with your head.
Speaker 1: Man, it really does.
Speaker 2: But I guess with the new technology, the latest technology,
Speaker 2: they do a pretty good job of that with all
Speaker 2: your old photos from your phone, of turning it into
Speaker 2: three D and having the feeling of you're actually there.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if I can handle it emotionally
Speaker 2: to look at some of those photos, to be back
Speaker 2: in the room when they're born, or their second birthday party,
Speaker 2: or the videos. Oh my god, I don't even know
Speaker 2: if I could handle it. I don't know if human
Speaker 2: beings can handle it. Can you handle being right back
Speaker 2: in that moment where it completely fools your brain, like
Speaker 2: you're there.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my kids are two again. I just just.
Speaker 2: Thinking about it gives me the gets me all excited.
Speaker 2: Is just so I'm going to try that out and
Speaker 2: see what that's like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really intriguing question though, because you know,
Speaker 3: something that left in my mind immediately was there were
Speaker 3: no photographs at all until fairly recently. And I mean
Speaker 3: a tenth of a blink of an eye on the
Speaker 3: evolutionary scale, how far back do you have to go? Really,
Speaker 3: anything that happened anything more recent than two hundred years
Speaker 3: ago is obviously clearly indisputably something we're not designed for.
Speaker 3: It might be harmless, or it might be good. I
Speaker 3: mean like antibiotics for instance, thumbs up ontic.
Speaker 1: Wow, you're not RFK Junior. But no, the.
Speaker 3: Idea of pictures of your kids so you can permanently
Speaker 3: remember how they looked at it at a certain age
Speaker 3: is something that was unknown on Earth until.
Speaker 1: Very very recently.
Speaker 2: How about if you can get it still kind of
Speaker 2: you can be there. I don't know, I don't know
Speaker 2: if we're built that way. I saw an example when
Speaker 2: I did the the demonstration at the Apple Store of
Speaker 2: a kid's birthday party, recorded on that device, and it
Speaker 2: was like I was sitting at that birthday party. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and man, ah, your your wedding, your your people who
Speaker 2: people who have passed, Mom and dad you know, no
Speaker 2: longer alive, and here you are sitting at the dinner
Speaker 2: table talk. You can't talk to them, obviously, but it's
Speaker 2: it's as if for your brain that it's real.
Speaker 3: All right, which sounds great in a way and utterly
Speaker 3: unnatural in a way.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I wonder if it's too much for us, But I
Speaker 2: don't want to run. Do you have something to say,
Speaker 2: Katie for a move on?
Speaker 6: Just for some fun and a funnier angle of this,
Speaker 6: if you go to Armstrong and Getty dot com. I
Speaker 6: just put an eight minute video up of VR fails,
Speaker 6: just to show you how real these things are. If
Speaker 6: people just running full force into their TV screens and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Some comic.
Speaker 2: Well, the thing that impacted me the most on the
Speaker 2: Apple Vision Pro when I tried it out because a
Speaker 2: friend of mine had it, was the full immersion sitting
Speaker 2: by a lake in the woods. Was I had the
Speaker 2: one feeling you get when you're standing by a lake
Speaker 2: in the woods, sitting there in their living room. Wow,
Speaker 2: not just oh that's a cool picture, just oh my god,
Speaker 2: all the relaxation that comes over you when you're doing that,
Speaker 2: because it's just, I don't know, it's hard to describe
Speaker 2: unless you've tried it.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to leave out time. I don't
Speaker 1: want to run out of time for this.
Speaker 2: So I was reading about the reviews before I drop
Speaker 2: a fair amount of money on this thing and everything
Speaker 2: like that, and there was there was a link on
Speaker 2: there about the advances they've made in what do you guess?
Speaker 2: Pophyg on the VR thing? And I had to click
Speaker 2: on that, and I almost wish I hadn't. Now I
Speaker 2: haven't seen what that would be like in a vision pro,
Speaker 2: and I won't because I'm not going to try that.
Speaker 2: I don't want it on my computer. I don't want
Speaker 2: to link to whatever site you get it. But I
Speaker 2: was looking at the videos, and since I've had the
Speaker 2: experience of the sitting at the kids' birthday party or
Speaker 2: sitting by the lake and knowing how real that was,
Speaker 2: looking at the VR video even in two D and thinking,
Speaker 2: oh my god, if that was in full three D,
Speaker 2: like I'm in the room, how would any man ever
Speaker 2: leave their house I mean, seriously, it's going to be.
Speaker 1: Take a break on Sunday afternoons to watch football. We
Speaker 1: already have a problem with internet porn.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm asking, is the human brain ready to you know,
Speaker 2: relive your kids to year old birthday party? Is a
Speaker 2: human brain ready to be completely fooled, completely fooled by
Speaker 2: a sexual interaction?
Speaker 1: No, No, is the answer to your question. No.
Speaker 3: It will decimate humankind or whatever part of it has that.
Speaker 1: God. Yeah, we have.
Speaker 3: Invented pleasures we are not meant to have as human
Speaker 3: beings that we can't handle. That a lot of people
Speaker 3: can't hand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it will do us
Speaker 3: in Yeah, we're in to bring new world territory there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Whether you know us on an individual level or as
Speaker 3: a civilization or as a species, it's it's, without a question,
Speaker 3: not good. Just because something can exist doesn't make it good.
Speaker 3: I mean, people need to get through that. Just because
Speaker 3: the society is doing something, just because your next door
Speaker 3: neighbors are doing something, just because on the Internet people
Speaker 3: say this is.
Speaker 1: Cool, does not in any way make any of it cool.
Speaker 3: You really, you know, I'm sure there's some brilliant philosopher
Speaker 3: who's been more eloquent on this than me. But you
Speaker 3: need to decide what sort of life you want to
Speaker 3: live independent of what you're being told by people making
Speaker 3: money or telling you what your lifestyle should be, or
Speaker 3: you will be swept up by people who do not
Speaker 3: have your best interest in mind, and you will crash
Speaker 3: on the rocks of pleasure.
Speaker 1: Crash on the rocks of pleasure.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people would sign up for that,
Speaker 2: even as described the way it was just described.
Speaker 1: That was a rough draft.
Speaker 3: I'd hate for the metaphor police to come and arrest
Speaker 3: me for mixing too many of them together.
Speaker 1: But if you have any thoughts, you can text us.
Speaker 2: We have some breaking RFK junior news because he is
Speaker 2: going to be grilled tomorrow in a congressional hearing. More
Speaker 2: of that coming up. We'll get to this RFK Junior
Speaker 2: breaking news.
Speaker 1: In a moment, I was just.
Speaker 3: Thinking about the incredibly effective Apple Vision pro is that
Speaker 3: what it's called where the immersive thing where you gave
Speaker 3: the example of sitting in a mountain lake and it
Speaker 3: was utterly convinced, Yeah, that sounds really really cool in
Speaker 3: a lot of ways. So I just quick off the
Speaker 3: top of my head thought all right, top three choices
Speaker 3: to be immersed in. Now, the lack of smellovision is
Speaker 3: a factor here. If they could get that in, you
Speaker 3: would fully freak out smells and tastes.
Speaker 1: If somehow they could get the it would be the
Speaker 1: end of humanity.
Speaker 2: The VR ride at Universal like the Simpsons VR Ride,
Speaker 2: you get smellovision, You smell popcorn, you smell you smell
Speaker 2: all kinds of different things.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Wow, all right, So, in no particular order, off the
Speaker 3: top of my head, Number one, be in the middle
Speaker 3: of the Battle of Gettysburg. I think you would have
Speaker 3: to reassure yourself over and over again, this is not real,
Speaker 3: This does not real. Do not be terrified, do not
Speaker 3: wet your pants. But just to experience the noise and
Speaker 3: chaos of the battle, I think would be important understanding.
Speaker 2: Or any battle that would be that would be good.
Speaker 2: Any like real warfare in that sort of setting would
Speaker 2: be good for people. I think you might lose your mud.
Speaker 3: But yeah, you and I both talked to combat veterans
Speaker 3: who often the first thing they say is you have
Speaker 3: no conception of how loud it is anyway, and how confusing.
Speaker 1: That would be. Number two just it popped into my head.
Speaker 3: I don't know why, sitting on like steps in a
Speaker 3: Harlem street in nineteen sixty one. Oh cool, have the
Speaker 3: people coming and going, smell the cooking from the windows,
Speaker 3: listening to the music coming from radios, and just listening
Speaker 3: to the folks talking. I don't know why, just popped
Speaker 3: into my head. And third, gotta go with the Apollo
Speaker 3: eleven capsule and take off.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: As a guy who's a little claustrophobic, I would again
Speaker 3: have to fight a freak out the whole time.
Speaker 1: But how incredible would that be?
Speaker 2: Applevision pro head said, If the only thing you try
Speaker 2: on it is the a Solar system.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's incredible.
Speaker 2: You're in the solar system and you can like move
Speaker 2: it around if you're hands, getting an idea of the
Speaker 2: space and the sides, and bring in a planet look
Speaker 2: at from different directions. It's Oh, it's so cool, the coolest.
Speaker 2: I hope that's in school soon. Anyway, here's your breaking
Speaker 2: RFK Junior News. He's supposed to start his confirmation hearings tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Caroline Kennedy, she's the one actually, uh that Neil Diamond
Speaker 2: wrote the song about right.
Speaker 1: I believe that.
Speaker 2: Sweet Caroline bo bo Bah came out today and blasted
Speaker 2: her brother.
Speaker 1: Is a nut job. So good, so good, so good.
Speaker 1: Oh boy.
Speaker 2: Caroline Kennedy today Warren senators about her brother, her cousin
Speaker 2: actually now Trump's pick to lead the HHS, as a
Speaker 2: predator whose victims have ranged from family members to parents
Speaker 2: of sick children. And a copy of a letter obtained
Speaker 2: by The Washington Post and sent to lawmakers ahead of
Speaker 2: the hearings tomorrow, she said her cousin is addicted to
Speaker 2: attention and power. Well, he's a Kennedy, isn't that what
Speaker 2: you all do is addicted to attention and power. Has
Speaker 2: given hypocritical, hypocritical advice by discouraging parents from vaccinating their
Speaker 2: children while vaccinating his own children. She alleged that his
Speaker 2: crusade against vaccination has also served to enrich him.
Speaker 1: I've known Bobby my whole life. We grew up together.
Speaker 2: It's no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as
Speaker 2: pets because he himself is a predator. She goes on
Speaker 2: to claim that through the strength of his personality, other
Speaker 2: family members have followed Kennedy Junior down the path of
Speaker 2: drug addiction. Not a whole bunch of other things she
Speaker 2: says about him that are not nice. So that's an
Speaker 2: attempt to derail him tomorrow by someone on the left.
Speaker 2: And I think there's gonna be plenty of Republicans enators
Speaker 2: attempting to derail him from the right tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Gently but yes, without question yep.
Speaker 7: Jack Clark, kiss Tom stop, Jack and Jose go.
Speaker 5: And if they don't give can they'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Here's your host, always a big gift. Here's your host
Speaker 2: for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 3: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew,
Speaker 3: wrap things up for the day. There is our technical director, Michaeligelow.
Speaker 3: Michael final thought.
Speaker 1: My final thought is very simple. VR porn will be
Speaker 1: the end of society. If it's good. Yeah, the birth
Speaker 1: rate will go down.
Speaker 2: You can't get much Lord, that might not be overstated
Speaker 2: at all, Michael.
Speaker 1: That might be the end mankind.
Speaker 3: And when the Third World armies sweep across our planes,
Speaker 3: we won't notice, never mind being able to fight back.
Speaker 3: Katie Green are Esteemed Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 6: Not interested in the porn, but I am interested in
Speaker 6: checking out the Apple VR because I tried the one
Speaker 6: from meta and it gives me a headache.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: See that's a problem.
Speaker 2: About a third of us get motion sickness from them,
Speaker 2: and they're almost unusable.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was sure that was going to happen to me
Speaker 3: when we tried one out years ago, but it didn't.
Speaker 1: Were lucky ones, Yeah, Jack. Final thought, if we could.
Speaker 2: Keep the Apple Vision pro out of the hands of
Speaker 2: our people, but drop them in some of the you know,
Speaker 2: drop them in afgame a Stanner, the Pashtoon.
Speaker 1: Area of Pakistan or whatever.
Speaker 2: Let all those young men with AK forty seven's get
Speaker 2: swallowed up into VR stupidity, and maybe that's the way
Speaker 2: to dominate the planet.
Speaker 3: My final thought, my fourth brilliant idea for how to
Speaker 3: use the VR set. I would be right here, right now.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't it be weird? Then you take it off and
Speaker 3: still right here right.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty repiga But other grueling four hour workday, so.
Speaker 3: Many people, thanks a little time, go to Armstrong and
Speaker 3: Getty dot com. We got some great links for you.
Speaker 3: You already have a bunch of great stuff to talk
Speaker 3: about tomorrow. Drop us a note which if there's something
Speaker 3: we ought to be jabbering about. Mail bag at Armstrong
Speaker 3: and Getty dot com. You got no opinion, Keep it shortest,
Speaker 3: but we'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 2: Cool and we'll have a lot tomorrow, the hearings and whatnot.
Speaker 2: See then, God bless America.
Speaker 1: I'm strong and Getty up the place in this world.
Speaker 1: Get out of here.
Speaker 4: One final message, don't give into the lies, don't give
Speaker 4: into the fear fecal, hold on to the truth and
Speaker 4: to hope.
Speaker 1: That was even dumber and more annoying than usual.
Speaker 3: So sorry, you made it right riding along the arm
Speaker 3: Strong and Getty
