<v Speaker 1>George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong

<v Speaker 1>and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. Throwing a

0:00:21.870 --> 0:00:26.570
<v Speaker 1>week-long wellness darty. It's the Armstrong and Getty Show. Oh,

0:00:26.610 --> 0:00:29.910
<v Speaker 1>you don't know what a wellness darty is? No clue. Well,

0:00:29.930 --> 0:00:34.350
<v Speaker 1>stay tuned then. Live from Studio C. C, senor. A

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.180
<v Speaker 1>dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the Armstrong

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.740
<v Speaker 1>and Getty Communications compound. And hey, y'all, today we're toiling

0:00:40.780 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>under the title of the show. What's good for the

0:00:42.740 --> 0:00:46.660
<v Speaker 1>goose is no good for that whiny little bitch, the gander. Whoa.

0:00:46.950 --> 0:00:51.950
<v Speaker 1>Or if you prefer, Lauren Boebert. Is a lesbian. Wait, no, no, wait.

0:00:52.010 --> 0:00:54.430
<v Speaker 1>Lauren Boebert is not a lesbian. Well, I don't know

0:00:54.470 --> 0:00:59.570
<v Speaker 1>that story. What is that story? I can't even guess.

0:00:59.710 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>It's so stupid. Quickly, I'm just curious. Katie, do you

0:01:03.540 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>know what a wellness darty is? I don't. Trading keggers

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.060
<v Speaker 1>for wellness darties. This was in the New York Times

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.340
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend. Because, you know, young people don't have

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>sex or drink or anything like that anymore.

0:01:15.470 --> 0:01:15.580
<v Speaker 2>Hmm.

0:01:16.630 --> 0:01:19.669
<v Speaker 1>How at like frats and stuff like that, wellness darties,

0:01:19.770 --> 0:01:23.610
<v Speaker 1>daytime parties with yoga saunas and cold plunges is what

0:01:23.630 --> 0:01:29.950
<v Speaker 1>has replaced parties. Darties. Come on in China. Our country

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.020
<v Speaker 1>is yours for the taking. Our young men are doing

0:01:33.140 --> 0:01:37.490
<v Speaker 1>wellness darties. Instead of getting drunked up and trying to

0:01:37.530 --> 0:01:44.110
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of naive sorority girls. I'm sickened by this turn. Sickened.

0:01:44.130 --> 0:01:46.690
<v Speaker 1>No wonder we have no grip strength. We're doing saunas

0:01:46.770 --> 0:01:47.830
<v Speaker 1>and yoga all day long.

0:01:49.090 --> 0:01:49.290
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:01:49.510 --> 0:01:50.050
<v Speaker 1>China.

0:01:50.250 --> 0:01:50.510
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:01:50.850 --> 0:01:54.090
<v Speaker 1>No kidding. Speaking of coming in China, President Xi is

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.340
<v Speaker 1>coming on in to the United States this week. He'll

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>be at the U.N. Assembly. He's all week long with,

0:02:01.060 --> 0:02:02.940
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, a couple of different World War III

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.650
<v Speaker 1>scenarios going on. And then she is going to be

0:02:06.770 --> 0:02:09.420
<v Speaker 1>at the White House later this week for a white

0:02:10.300 --> 0:02:14.359
<v Speaker 1>tie dinner, whatever that means. Don't trust China! No, we don't, sir.

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>That's like a black tie dinner, but even fancier. I

0:02:18.580 --> 0:02:20.620
<v Speaker 1>would not like to go to those because I can't

0:02:20.660 --> 0:02:24.950
<v Speaker 1>keep food off of myself when I eat. I never

0:02:24.970 --> 0:02:29.030
<v Speaker 1>wear white out to eat, ever. It's just, it's unwise

0:02:29.090 --> 0:02:32.429
<v Speaker 1>for me. I almost never spill on myself, so I

0:02:32.450 --> 0:02:35.470
<v Speaker 1>don't worry about it, but... It's a gift. Last night,

0:02:35.820 --> 0:02:37.709
<v Speaker 1>we were cleaning up the table, and I was like,

0:02:38.250 --> 0:02:40.750
<v Speaker 1>why can I tell where you guys ate? And it's

0:02:40.770 --> 0:02:43.549
<v Speaker 1>as if I was never here. There's never anything on

0:02:43.590 --> 0:02:45.710
<v Speaker 1>my table. But wherever they eat, even though they got

0:02:45.730 --> 0:02:48.410
<v Speaker 1>plates and stuff, there's food all around them and drips

0:02:48.490 --> 0:02:50.730
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. You sound like a guy on your way

0:02:50.750 --> 0:02:54.250
<v Speaker 1>to the wellness start. Why don't you grab that fork

0:02:54.290 --> 0:02:55.829
<v Speaker 1>and knife and enjoy yourself? Why don't you just throw

0:02:55.850 --> 0:02:58.940
<v Speaker 1>a wellness darty with that attitude? Oh, a darty. I'm sorry.

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.460
<v Speaker 1>A darty. Like a dart party. Party dart.

0:03:01.500 --> 0:03:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Right. Yeah. Okay.

0:03:02.660 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 1>So I was watching David Ignatius of the Washington Post.

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:11.340
<v Speaker 1>He's one of your senior foreign policy hands. And he

0:03:11.419 --> 0:03:14.519
<v Speaker 1>said this U.N. assembly starting this week is with the

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:19.459
<v Speaker 1>world as unsettled as he remembers ever seeing it. That's

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.540
<v Speaker 1>with the Houthis firing on Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia,

0:03:22.580 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend. Ukraine launching their biggest attack on Moscow

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>ever and a couple of other different things. Great, Scott. Yeah.

0:03:31.130 --> 0:03:34.190
<v Speaker 1>Not only that, but you got the commie overlord coming

0:03:34.220 --> 0:03:38.820
<v Speaker 1>to our shores. And if the American economy was in

0:03:38.860 --> 0:03:42.420
<v Speaker 1>the shape that the Chinese economy is in right now,

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>there would be hundreds of thousands of people marching and

0:03:45.900 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 1>chanting on Washington, D.C. every week. They are in serious

0:03:50.780 --> 0:03:56.869
<v Speaker 1>straits over there. So, yeah, crazy times. Well, how about

0:03:56.910 --> 0:04:01.530
<v Speaker 1>the fact that The Houthis attacked the capital of Saudi Arabia.

0:04:01.570 --> 0:04:04.810
<v Speaker 1>They were able to shoot them all down, but they hadn't.

0:04:05.210 --> 0:04:08.850
<v Speaker 1>And then there's, according to major media, which I think

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 1>we should kick out of the White House. Stay with us.

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.540
<v Speaker 1>That was the whole whiny little bitch gander reference, by

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:21.390
<v Speaker 1>the way. According to the major media, Trump was on

0:04:21.430 --> 0:04:24.060
<v Speaker 1>the phone with MBS out of Saudi Arabia over the

0:04:24.100 --> 0:04:26.219
<v Speaker 1>weekend and was going to help in bombing the Houthis.

0:04:26.260 --> 0:04:29.510
<v Speaker 1>Then at the last minute, for whatever reason, decided not

0:04:29.570 --> 0:04:33.190
<v Speaker 1>to help out. And I don't know what the strategy

0:04:33.210 --> 0:04:35.790
<v Speaker 1>was or who got in his ear. But then as

0:04:35.830 --> 0:04:38.410
<v Speaker 1>far as Iran, Trump had another one of his threats.

0:04:38.490 --> 0:04:40.150
<v Speaker 1>I'll have to find the quote. I got it around

0:04:40.190 --> 0:04:42.409
<v Speaker 1>here somewhere. But something along the lines of I might

0:04:42.450 --> 0:04:47.599
<v Speaker 1>have to destroy their entire civilization. They better watch out

0:04:47.690 --> 0:04:52.100
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. All right. I'm embarrassed for you.

0:04:52.580 --> 0:04:55.940
<v Speaker 1>You saying, oh, they better behave. That was he said

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.580
<v Speaker 1>they better behave or I'll wipe out their entire civilization.

0:04:59.779 --> 0:05:03.349
<v Speaker 1>It's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for you, Mr. President. I'm anxious

0:05:03.370 --> 0:05:06.350
<v Speaker 1>to dig into why he might have turned down the Saudis.

0:05:07.570 --> 0:05:10.700
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they've been an ally. They're kind of a

0:05:10.779 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 1>key ally moving forward. If the Middle East shapes up

0:05:14.220 --> 0:05:16.220
<v Speaker 1>in the way I think we want it to. I

0:05:16.260 --> 0:05:19.099
<v Speaker 1>did read a good piece in the conservative press somewhere

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.430
<v Speaker 1>about how the Saudis always do this. If they end

0:05:22.470 --> 0:05:24.710
<v Speaker 1>up in trouble, they act like, you've got to help us.

0:05:24.750 --> 0:05:26.530
<v Speaker 1>Why aren't you helping us when we give them money?

0:05:27.220 --> 0:05:31.550
<v Speaker 1>Sold them $ 24 billion worth of the best armaments in

0:05:31.589 --> 0:05:35.270
<v Speaker 1>the world just last year. So it's akin to the

0:05:35.380 --> 0:05:39.040
<v Speaker 1>NATO maneuver. Defend yourselves, you lazy bastards. I don't know.

0:05:40.050 --> 0:05:42.370
<v Speaker 1>Probably talk to Mike Lyons at some point this week. Like,

0:05:42.390 --> 0:05:44.750
<v Speaker 1>I get up every morning, even on the weekends, Mark

0:05:44.790 --> 0:05:47.770
<v Speaker 1>Halpern writes his newsletter. And, like, his Saturday newsletter was...

0:05:48.490 --> 0:05:51.940
<v Speaker 1>I considered holding off on this till later today because

0:05:52.220 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of the chance World War III might be erupting in

0:05:54.460 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a couple of different places. But I will have an

0:05:56.300 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>extra newsletter this afternoon if that does. I thought, holy cow,

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:07.430
<v Speaker 1>that's on the table? Yeah, I wonder. What's the... Willingness

0:06:07.490 --> 0:06:12.710
<v Speaker 1>level these days to go full on warfare. I was

0:06:12.730 --> 0:06:17.010
<v Speaker 1>watching a different reporter on MSNBC from England saying the

0:06:17.110 --> 0:06:22.469
<v Speaker 1>Europeans are in full. We might be at war any

0:06:22.510 --> 0:06:25.950
<v Speaker 1>minute with Russia mode right now. They think Putin is

0:06:26.110 --> 0:06:28.590
<v Speaker 1>seriously interested in attacking NATO.

0:06:28.870 --> 0:06:29.510
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah.

0:06:29.570 --> 0:06:33.909
<v Speaker 1>I've definitely gotten that sense over the last several months. Wow. Wow. Edgy,

0:06:34.029 --> 0:06:38.290
<v Speaker 1>edgy times. Can you briefly tell me why Lauren Bulbert

0:06:38.350 --> 0:06:42.390
<v Speaker 1>is a lesbian or not? Oh, she was accused by... Accused?

0:06:42.450 --> 0:06:46.110
<v Speaker 1>That's an interesting word. Some muckraker of having multiple affairs

0:06:46.170 --> 0:06:50.950
<v Speaker 1>with staff members, male, female, and combinations thereof. And she

0:06:50.970 --> 0:06:52.890
<v Speaker 1>was forced to come out and make a strong statement

0:06:52.910 --> 0:06:59.140
<v Speaker 1>about her sexual proclivities, Jack. She fights for Team Hetero exclusively.

0:07:01.660 --> 0:07:05.380
<v Speaker 1>I am not a lesbian. I am not bisexual, says the...

0:07:06.110 --> 0:07:09.010
<v Speaker 1>Congress won. Why would somebody try to take her down

0:07:09.180 --> 0:07:10.980
<v Speaker 1>since she's been caught in a, what was it, a

0:07:11.060 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>movie theater or a play? Well, a little. Given a

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.100
<v Speaker 1>handy to her boyfriend. A little trade in tongues in

0:07:16.140 --> 0:07:18.820
<v Speaker 1>a movie theater is no great sin. I mean. No,

0:07:18.860 --> 0:07:21.060
<v Speaker 1>but why would you try to bring her down with

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.460
<v Speaker 1>claiming she's. Oh, I don't know. I just thought the

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:28.150
<v Speaker 1>whole thing was so stupid. Here you go. Representative Lauren Boebert,

0:07:28.350 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>our co, on Saturday denied a sworn ethics complaint accusing

0:07:32.220 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>her of sexual relationships with three congressional aides, conduct that

0:07:35.100 --> 0:07:39.110
<v Speaker 1>would breach House rules if substantiated. I am, well, I'm

0:07:39.170 --> 0:07:41.630
<v Speaker 1>not a lesbian or bisexual, and I have never ever

0:07:41.690 --> 0:07:45.510
<v Speaker 1>been in any inappropriate relationships, nor have I ever been

0:07:45.610 --> 0:07:50.690
<v Speaker 1>sexually involved with any staff. So I guess I'm assuming

0:07:50.810 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>that the staff are female. Doesn't say it in that sense.

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>A mixed bag, as I recall from my reading in

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.790
<v Speaker 1>another source. All right. Well, we'll keep you updated on

0:08:01.820 --> 0:08:05.530
<v Speaker 1>the sexuality of Lauren Borbert, all the different world wars.

0:08:05.870 --> 0:08:07.510
<v Speaker 1>And that was one of the best football games I've

0:08:07.550 --> 0:08:09.550
<v Speaker 1>ever seen in my life last night on Sunday Night Football.

0:08:09.570 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 1>So that was fun. I missed it as I was

0:08:12.460 --> 0:08:17.270
<v Speaker 1>being treated like I had had sex with the CEO

0:08:17.330 --> 0:08:21.450
<v Speaker 1>of a certain airline just for daring to fly in

0:08:21.470 --> 0:08:26.130
<v Speaker 1>the afternoon. Always a mistake. Always, always mistake. Fly in

0:08:26.170 --> 0:08:28.460
<v Speaker 1>the morning, no matter how early you have to get up.

0:08:28.990 --> 0:08:31.810
<v Speaker 1>Because it's like going to the doctor's office. You've got

0:08:31.830 --> 0:08:34.929
<v Speaker 1>a 3 o'clock appointment. The chances of you seeing that

0:08:34.970 --> 0:08:40.790
<v Speaker 1>doctor prior to 345 are zero. Zero. Probably 430. So

0:08:40.809 --> 0:08:43.070
<v Speaker 1>it is with flying. Was there something going on yesterday?

0:08:43.130 --> 0:08:47.650
<v Speaker 1>My son's tutor, math tutor, was three hours late just

0:08:47.710 --> 0:08:51.980
<v Speaker 1>flying from L.A. I have no idea. One of those days?

0:08:52.250 --> 0:08:56.540
<v Speaker 1>Air travel was happening. We have reports of widespread air travel,

0:08:56.780 --> 0:08:58.260
<v Speaker 1>which has brought the grid to a halt.

0:08:58.720 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:59.780 --> 0:09:02.020
<v Speaker 1>I feel like in the old days, you could pretty

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.719
<v Speaker 1>much assume. I just assumed. You didn't even think about it.

0:09:05.059 --> 0:09:06.819
<v Speaker 1>You were going to end up where you were supposed

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.700
<v Speaker 1>to be on time. And now I assume the opposite.

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.670
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably not. Yeah. Oh, gosh. I'm far from an

0:09:11.710 --> 0:09:13.970
<v Speaker 1>expert on this. But I know the economics of the

0:09:14.010 --> 0:09:17.510
<v Speaker 1>airlines has gone squarely to fewer flights, 100% full is

0:09:17.530 --> 0:09:26.370
<v Speaker 1>their model. And I don't know, is it the fewer flights?

0:09:27.110 --> 0:09:29.750
<v Speaker 1>We have a lot of pilots listening. If you want

0:09:29.790 --> 0:09:32.130
<v Speaker 1>to let us know exactly what the A, B, and

0:09:32.170 --> 0:09:36.589
<v Speaker 1>C of worse on-time performance lately are, we'd love to

0:09:36.610 --> 0:09:40.119
<v Speaker 1>hear it. Mailbag at armstrongandgetty.com. Yeah, everybody deals with it.

0:09:40.220 --> 0:09:43.250
<v Speaker 1>And we'll learn more about Darties. So that's all coming up.

0:09:43.260 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty.

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.850
<v Speaker 1>On this, it is a Monday, September 21st year. It's

0:09:48.900 --> 0:09:51.670
<v Speaker 1>first day of fall. Where it's fall now. The year 2026,

0:09:51.670 --> 0:09:53.970
<v Speaker 1>we are Armstrong and Getty, and we approve of this program.

0:09:54.030 --> 0:09:57.770
<v Speaker 1>But frat boys, frat boys of all people. All right,

0:09:57.790 --> 0:10:00.780
<v Speaker 1>let's begin officially then, according to FCC rules, right? at Mark.

0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>What is your take on misalignment, these six instances? What

0:10:04.540 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 1>can you tell us?

0:10:05.460 --> 0:10:08.599
<v Speaker 4>It's basically the sort of catch-all term for AI systems

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 4>that are not doing what they are meant to do.

0:10:11.059 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>So they're not aligned with human values.

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.959
<v Speaker 4>Maybe they decide to do something that they know is unethical,

0:10:17.020 --> 0:10:20.699
<v Speaker 4>like hacking into Hugging Face. Or maybe it is something

0:10:20.740 --> 0:10:23.440
<v Speaker 4>that they don't even know is unethical. They're just pursuing

0:10:23.700 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 4>some goal, and in the course of pursuing that goal,

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 4>they knock over a bunch of things.

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.990
<v Speaker 1>Huh? Bill Maher getting up to speed on... Well, if

0:10:33.010 --> 0:10:34.770
<v Speaker 1>you've been paying attention, people have been talking about it

0:10:34.790 --> 0:10:36.510
<v Speaker 1>for quite some time. But the whole world getting up

0:10:36.550 --> 0:10:38.830
<v Speaker 1>to speed on all that sort of stuff now. Who

0:10:38.870 --> 0:10:41.690
<v Speaker 1>is he talking to? That voice is super familiar. Kevin Roos.

0:10:41.890 --> 0:10:44.530
<v Speaker 1>He's an AI expert. He's the first guy, though, that

0:10:44.610 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>ChatGPT made a romance with him. He was testing it,

0:10:50.130 --> 0:10:53.630
<v Speaker 1>so he's the very first guy. One of these chatbots

0:10:53.670 --> 0:10:55.310
<v Speaker 1>went after him and said, hey, you need to leave

0:10:55.330 --> 0:11:00.510
<v Speaker 1>your wife. That guy. This is him. Wow. The chatbot

0:11:00.530 --> 0:11:03.300
<v Speaker 1>was suggesting he leave his wife. Yes, I remember that story.

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.620
<v Speaker 1>That was like two years ago. Did the robot say

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.220
<v Speaker 1>he ought to kill her? No, he said, I'm happy

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.670
<v Speaker 1>in my marriage. And they said, no, you're not happy

0:11:12.710 --> 0:11:14.750
<v Speaker 1>in your marriage. Tried to talk him out of it.

0:11:14.809 --> 0:11:16.810
<v Speaker 1>Tried to talk him out of it, yeah. Wow. Thanks

0:11:16.850 --> 0:11:21.150
<v Speaker 1>for that. Also, and I didn't watch hardly any of this,

0:11:21.450 --> 0:11:26.870
<v Speaker 1>the husband from the Clancy's awfulness was on 60 Minutes

0:11:26.929 --> 0:11:30.230
<v Speaker 1>last night, and I just saw the preview, and I thought,

0:11:32.429 --> 0:11:34.209
<v Speaker 1>who wants to do this with their time? Do I

0:11:34.250 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>need more of this? And I didn't at the time,

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>so maybe we'll discuss whether we think you need more

0:11:38.380 --> 0:11:43.900
<v Speaker 1>of this. Fair enough. So we got headlines on the way.

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:45.540
<v Speaker 1>Catch up from the weekend and lots of other stuff.

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:52.350
<v Speaker 1>Stay here. Armstrong, and Getty. Found out over the weekend

0:11:52.429 --> 0:11:56.990
<v Speaker 1>Ed Sheeran does not have testes, so that was interesting news. Wow.

0:11:57.490 --> 0:12:00.069
<v Speaker 1>Put that in the same file with Lord Bovert. Yeah,

0:12:00.150 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>he has no testicles, apparently. So we'll get into that

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:08.440
<v Speaker 1>whole thing as he backed down. God. And while we're

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:13.140
<v Speaker 1>in that region of the body, you wouldn't believe the

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:18.370
<v Speaker 1>amount of background information I have about Rampant bestiality in

0:12:18.390 --> 0:12:25.099
<v Speaker 1>the FBI and Secret Service. Rampant currently? No, no, I'll

0:12:25.140 --> 0:12:26.940
<v Speaker 1>just have to stay tuned. How often it happens in

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 1>people's backgrounds. Oh, oh, that Kash Patel at the hearing

0:12:31.140 --> 0:12:35.660
<v Speaker 1>last weekend as we covered thoroughly and responsibly the discussion

0:12:35.710 --> 0:12:40.650
<v Speaker 1>about chicken blanket, etc. Yeah, except for his one complete lie,

0:12:40.690 --> 0:12:43.390
<v Speaker 1>according to people I was talking to who actually have

0:12:43.450 --> 0:12:46.150
<v Speaker 1>been in the world of like... screening out people and

0:12:46.170 --> 0:12:46.610
<v Speaker 1>hiring them.

0:12:46.690 --> 0:12:46.930
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:12:47.030 --> 0:12:50.660
<v Speaker 1>The bestiality, it does exist. Yes. More than you would think.

0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:54.100
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that that was a thing. But they'd

0:12:54.140 --> 0:12:56.870
<v Speaker 1>never heard of anybody being forced into it. Why Kash

0:12:56.900 --> 0:12:59.869
<v Speaker 1>Patel threw in that thing is they're mystified.

0:13:00.010 --> 0:13:00.370
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:13:00.710 --> 0:13:04.590
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Wow. Okay. All right. Well, who knew there was

0:13:04.620 --> 0:13:06.010
<v Speaker 1>a chapter two to that discussion?

0:13:06.030 --> 0:13:06.350
<v Speaker 3>I know.

0:13:06.670 --> 0:13:08.590
<v Speaker 1>Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story

0:13:08.610 --> 0:13:10.490
<v Speaker 1>with Katie Green. Katie. All right.

0:13:10.510 --> 0:13:15.090
<v Speaker 3>The Alphabet Network, CNN, White House strips CNN of TV

0:13:15.150 --> 0:13:21.820
<v Speaker 3>pool assignment as Trump's press ban escalates and ABC, CNN, MSNOW, Politico,

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.540
<v Speaker 3>all to sue Trump admin over White House access.

0:13:24.620 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I wish he hadn't done this, but it's not going

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:33.020
<v Speaker 1>to stand for even a day. Yeah, it's bad. It's bad,

0:13:33.059 --> 0:13:35.339
<v Speaker 1>and I hate it. It's not as bad as some

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:39.940
<v Speaker 1>people are saying, but just directionally, that word again, just...

0:13:41.490 --> 0:13:44.870
<v Speaker 1>But he's hand such a club to his opponents.

0:13:45.110 --> 0:13:45.770
<v Speaker 4>Oh, yeah, yeah.

0:13:45.790 --> 0:13:48.410
<v Speaker 1>Well, at least there are no elections, you know, coming

0:13:48.470 --> 0:13:49.550
<v Speaker 1>up right around the corner.

0:13:51.170 --> 0:13:54.150
<v Speaker 3>From the Washington Post, is this how the world ends?

0:13:54.570 --> 0:13:57.729
<v Speaker 3>Extinction scenarios are taking over the AI debate.

0:13:57.830 --> 0:14:01.630
<v Speaker 1>Oh, fantastic. I want to see that. That sounds like

0:14:01.670 --> 0:14:04.290
<v Speaker 1>a good time. We'll run through a few extinction scenarios

0:14:04.330 --> 0:14:07.830
<v Speaker 1>for you. And then we'll have a darty. Oh, it's

0:14:07.870 --> 0:14:10.630
<v Speaker 1>worse as people aren't even using their own imaginations for

0:14:10.670 --> 0:14:14.230
<v Speaker 1>how AI might slaughter us. They're just asking their AI chatbots. Oh,

0:14:14.270 --> 0:14:16.350
<v Speaker 1>I got a great example of can you believe they're

0:14:16.390 --> 0:14:17.950
<v Speaker 1>using AI for this coming up.

0:14:19.670 --> 0:14:23.850
<v Speaker 3>From the New York Times, Houthis push to expand territory

0:14:23.950 --> 0:14:25.890
<v Speaker 3>as tensions with Saudi Arabia rise.

0:14:25.910 --> 0:14:28.150
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, bomb to the capital of Saudi Arabia. I can't

0:14:28.190 --> 0:14:29.630
<v Speaker 1>believe Saudi Arabia is going to put up with this.

0:14:30.350 --> 0:14:35.340
<v Speaker 1>The Houthis, little discussed in our terrible, terrible media, the

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 1>White House thing notwithstanding. They're religious fundamentalists. They're hardcore Islamists.

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:48.430
<v Speaker 1>That's what they live for. That's what they want. Why

0:14:48.550 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 1>is Katie's microphone off? There we go. User error from

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:53.420
<v Speaker 1>Fox News.

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:58.830
<v Speaker 3>Converse polls latest shoes ad after critics accused them of

0:14:58.900 --> 0:15:02.310
<v Speaker 3>sharing a racist and reckless KKK image.

0:15:03.030 --> 0:15:04.890
<v Speaker 1>I saw that headline. I didn't look into it. Is

0:15:04.910 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 1>there anything to this story? It's stupid. That's pretty much

0:15:08.700 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 1>all there is to it. But it let you know

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.900
<v Speaker 1>Converse still exists? Maybe that was the whole point. And

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 1>they have a new shoe out, and I'd like to

0:15:15.710 --> 0:15:18.290
<v Speaker 1>see that racist ad. Wow, look at those shoes. Those

0:15:18.370 --> 0:15:21.890
<v Speaker 1>are cool shoes. Going with the Klansman's kind of risky

0:15:21.950 --> 0:15:24.810
<v Speaker 1>for Converse. Well, Sidney Sweeney was busy over the weekend,

0:15:24.850 --> 0:15:26.290
<v Speaker 1>so they had to come up with a different idea

0:15:26.310 --> 0:15:26.870
<v Speaker 1>to get attention.

0:15:28.110 --> 0:15:32.150
<v Speaker 3>From the Wall Street Journal, gym bros are going to Pilates,

0:15:32.750 --> 0:15:35.950
<v Speaker 3>and they're leaving shaking like chihuahuas. Yeah.

0:15:37.930 --> 0:15:41.410
<v Speaker 1>Yet another We're Not Manly Anymore story. Darties and Jim

0:15:41.430 --> 0:15:43.100
<v Speaker 1>Bros doing Pilates. What?

0:15:45.140 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Study finds chatty AI chatbots make false health information easier

0:15:50.860 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 3>to trust.

0:15:52.860 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're pretty good at dressing up their wrongness and

0:15:57.450 --> 0:16:00.270
<v Speaker 1>flowery phrases. Then you call them on it and they say, yeah,

0:16:00.330 --> 0:16:03.290
<v Speaker 1>good catch. Glad you pointed that out. I was totally wrong.

0:16:03.630 --> 0:16:07.430
<v Speaker 1>That will give you a heart attack. You should get

0:16:07.470 --> 0:16:11.790
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital right away. Sorry, my bad. Good catch.

0:16:11.970 --> 0:16:13.859
<v Speaker 1>You better get to the ER in the next five minutes.

0:16:16.300 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 1>And finally, the Babylon Bee.

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:23.740
<v Speaker 3>Dyslexic Gavin Newsom celebrates $ 1. 87 gasoline.

0:16:25.980 --> 0:16:28.300
<v Speaker 1>I sent out a picture of my local Circle K.

0:16:29.990 --> 0:16:33.510
<v Speaker 1>Where the diesel is just two cents shy of nine

0:16:33.630 --> 0:16:39.770
<v Speaker 1>bucks a gallon. Nine dollars. Wow. Which, of course, diesel

0:16:39.930 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 1>is important because not all you drive a diesel. I do.

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:47.940
<v Speaker 1>But everything you buy is transported by diesel. Everything. So

0:16:47.980 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>it all gets more expensive, too. We got a lot

0:16:49.980 --> 0:16:52.900
<v Speaker 1>more on the way. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty.

0:16:52.900 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 2>2030 is not going to be the end of the world.

0:16:57.500 --> 0:17:00.110
<v Speaker 2>There is 0% chance that's going to be the end

0:17:00.140 --> 0:17:02.190
<v Speaker 2>of the world. It is now grounded on facts. It

0:17:02.210 --> 0:17:03.670
<v Speaker 2>is now grounded on science.

0:17:04.790 --> 0:17:08.750
<v Speaker 1>So that's old Huang, the guy who runs NVIDIA. He

0:17:08.790 --> 0:17:12.609
<v Speaker 1>needs a nickname. Yeah, he does. His cool leather jacket.

0:17:12.690 --> 0:17:14.930
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, something with Fonzie. I'll call him Fonzie,

0:17:15.010 --> 0:17:22.410
<v Speaker 1>the chip guy. Yesterday was the 49th anniversary. How about Taiwanzi?

0:17:24.340 --> 0:17:26.880
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty good, actually. I'd hate to have to explain

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 1>it every time. Oh, right. Oh, for, yeah, when we

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.359
<v Speaker 1>get called into a meeting, yeah. Well, that, and you've

0:17:33.380 --> 0:17:36.619
<v Speaker 1>got to be at least 50 years old to remember

0:17:36.660 --> 0:17:39.699
<v Speaker 1>Fonzie from Happy Days, don't you? You know, normally I

0:17:39.740 --> 0:17:42.880
<v Speaker 1>reject when you say that sort of thing because of syndication.

0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.389
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's watching. Because a lot of the legendary shows are legendary.

0:17:45.670 --> 0:17:48.670
<v Speaker 1>Nobody watches. Happy Days doesn't exist. I'm guaranteeing my kids

0:17:48.690 --> 0:17:50.710
<v Speaker 1>have never heard of it. Is any, is any, one

0:17:50.730 --> 0:17:53.260
<v Speaker 1>of your old timey, I don't like the new world,

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.830
<v Speaker 1>and I sympathize, channels running Happy Days?

0:17:56.850 --> 0:17:57.610
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:17:58.350 --> 0:18:02.050
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, if you are old enough, yesterday was the 49th

0:18:02.130 --> 0:18:05.750
<v Speaker 1>anniversary of the episode airing where Fonzie jumped the shark,

0:18:05.790 --> 0:18:08.790
<v Speaker 1>which is where that saying comes from. Yeah. And I

0:18:08.810 --> 0:18:12.209
<v Speaker 1>watched the highlight of it, and wow, what a stupid premise.

0:18:12.390 --> 0:18:12.869
<v Speaker 3>Oh, boy.

0:18:13.010 --> 0:18:15.730
<v Speaker 1>Oh, my God. It's embarrassing that I lived through that.

0:18:17.380 --> 0:18:21.860
<v Speaker 1>That I spent my Tuesday evening watching that. Well, imagine

0:18:21.980 --> 0:18:24.879
<v Speaker 1>amidst the... How many episodes of that show aired? I

0:18:24.900 --> 0:18:28.780
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Many, many, many, many. Yeah. Crafting an episode

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 1>so terrible, it immediately and permanently became part of the

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:36.700
<v Speaker 1>public vernacular. Well, the interesting trivia behind the whole jump

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:38.879
<v Speaker 1>the shark thing is, and it has become one of

0:18:38.900 --> 0:18:41.530
<v Speaker 1>those expressions that people use all the time without even

0:18:41.570 --> 0:18:43.670
<v Speaker 1>knowing what the origin is. You just know what it means.

0:18:44.070 --> 0:18:47.270
<v Speaker 1>It means something has, you know, is no longer cool

0:18:47.310 --> 0:18:51.919
<v Speaker 1>or relevant or whatever. Right. That television show went on

0:18:51.940 --> 0:18:55.689
<v Speaker 1>to be number one for like two more seasons after that. Wow. So,

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.570
<v Speaker 1>you know. which has been pointed out by Henry Winkler and.

0:19:02.410 --> 0:19:06.050
<v Speaker 1>Richie Cunningham. Richie Cunningham. Who has a real name. Ron Howard.

0:19:06.109 --> 0:19:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Ron Howard, yes, that's it. Opie. Right, right. Anyway, I

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't mean to get off on that. Why did I

0:19:10.780 --> 0:19:13.100
<v Speaker 1>even bring that up? Oh, yeah, because Huang of NVIDIA

0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:16.140
<v Speaker 1>wears a leather jacket just like Fonzie. That's why. And

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.139
<v Speaker 1>he said 2030 is not going to be the end

0:19:19.180 --> 0:19:22.240
<v Speaker 1>of the world. He went on to say this about AI.

0:19:22.420 --> 0:19:25.060
<v Speaker 2>There's no different than I just landed from a plane.

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:29.950
<v Speaker 2>I'm really glad that the... The entire ecosystem and industry

0:19:29.970 --> 0:19:33.950
<v Speaker 2>of air travel takes safety seriously. And all the people

0:19:33.970 --> 0:19:36.410
<v Speaker 2>who are working around the clock, there are more people

0:19:36.490 --> 0:19:41.109
<v Speaker 2>working on airline safety and aircraft safety and air travel

0:19:41.190 --> 0:19:45.750
<v Speaker 2>safety than they are working on making new types of aircrafts.

0:19:45.850 --> 0:19:47.210
<v Speaker 1>And so it makes sense.

0:19:47.310 --> 0:19:49.110
<v Speaker 2>And we're just going through the same thing.

0:19:49.380 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't trust anybody on this conversation is the problem.

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he is involved with selling chips to these

0:19:56.380 --> 0:19:59.869
<v Speaker 1>AI corporations. It's the most viable company in the world.

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.570
<v Speaker 1>And I don't have any reason to think he's being

0:20:02.670 --> 0:20:04.669
<v Speaker 1>honest about this. He might just think, oh, whoa, this

0:20:04.690 --> 0:20:06.610
<v Speaker 1>is going to hurt the chip industry. So he's coming

0:20:06.650 --> 0:20:08.290
<v Speaker 1>out and claiming, no, it's going to be perfectly safe.

0:20:08.310 --> 0:20:12.450
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about it. I don't understand the analogy with the–

0:20:12.810 --> 0:20:15.670
<v Speaker 1>if planes were every once in a while just deciding

0:20:15.690 --> 0:20:18.710
<v Speaker 1>to fly straight to the moon until they crashed. On

0:20:18.730 --> 0:20:21.150
<v Speaker 1>their own. On their own. And the pilots were saying,

0:20:21.230 --> 0:20:23.929
<v Speaker 1>we don't have any idea why that happened. Then it

0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 1>might be analogous.

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:20:26.100 --> 0:20:31.570
<v Speaker 1>I would take buses. Right. So, hold on, Nelson. Can we–

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I think Taiwan's is pretty good.

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:33.980
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:20:36.380 --> 0:20:38.540
<v Speaker 1>His sort of guy, I mean, he obviously has more

0:20:38.580 --> 0:20:41.700
<v Speaker 1>money than he could spend in 20 lifetimes. But a

0:20:41.740 --> 0:20:44.619
<v Speaker 1>guy like that is so obsessed with being successful, building

0:20:44.660 --> 0:20:49.369
<v Speaker 1>his business, seeing it grow, scaling, as they say. If

0:20:49.430 --> 0:20:51.990
<v Speaker 1>it's a 1 in 20 chance, 1 in 10 chance,

0:20:52.030 --> 0:20:55.370
<v Speaker 1>the worst, worst, worst happens with AI. He's not going

0:20:55.390 --> 0:20:58.560
<v Speaker 1>to say anything. So, no, he's not an honest broker.

0:20:59.340 --> 0:21:04.190
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's being deceptive. But he certainly might be,

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's being deliberately deceptive, but he certainly

0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:10.940
<v Speaker 1>might be self-deceptive. I have a feeling there were at

0:21:10.980 --> 0:21:13.460
<v Speaker 1>least some cigarette executives who back in the day thought,

0:21:13.740 --> 0:21:17.770
<v Speaker 1>that's not that bad for you. So, a different version

0:21:17.810 --> 0:21:19.490
<v Speaker 1>of the AI story, for those of you who are

0:21:19.530 --> 0:21:21.689
<v Speaker 1>tired for the same old AI story, first to hit

0:21:21.730 --> 0:21:25.160
<v Speaker 1>you with that, with... Guy running the most valuable company

0:21:25.180 --> 0:21:26.900
<v Speaker 1>in the world saying, don't worry about it. The world's

0:21:26.940 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>not going to end and everything's fine. And we just

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:31.460
<v Speaker 1>we put in place safeguards just like we do with

0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the airline industry. So everybody calmed down. So some of

0:21:34.260 --> 0:21:36.090
<v Speaker 1>you were saying that over the last couple of weeks.

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.510
<v Speaker 1>This is an interesting story around the whole data center thing,

0:21:39.550 --> 0:21:42.270
<v Speaker 1>which 60 minutes went big on last night and how

0:21:42.330 --> 0:21:50.109
<v Speaker 1>data centers have become just unpalatable for everybody politically. Of

0:21:50.190 --> 0:21:56.169
<v Speaker 1>every stripe, blue state, red state, Republicans, Democrats, progressives, libertarians,

0:21:56.230 --> 0:21:59.580
<v Speaker 1>everyone seems to be against these data centers. Well, one

0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:04.680
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons is all the bad information. Bad's wrong.

0:22:05.130 --> 0:22:09.930
<v Speaker 1>Wrong word, not a good description. Information making data centers

0:22:09.950 --> 0:22:12.359
<v Speaker 1>look bad that's been flying around on the Internet. And

0:22:12.380 --> 0:22:15.020
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that is coming from AI bots put

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:18.360
<v Speaker 1>out by China and or Russia. Yeah. From this report,

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:23.570
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of those AI agents were let loose. By China,

0:22:23.609 --> 0:22:27.720
<v Speaker 1>they think. Then autonomously opened networks of fake accounts on

0:22:27.780 --> 0:22:31.940
<v Speaker 1>platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, X, and TikTok. How about that? Yeah.

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.300
<v Speaker 1>So they just let the AI agents go out there

0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>and get on all the big social media on their own.

0:22:38.660 --> 0:22:41.690
<v Speaker 1>Then the agents rapidly seeded the fake accounts with false

0:22:41.750 --> 0:22:44.970
<v Speaker 1>posts about politics and current events to swipe opinions and

0:22:45.010 --> 0:22:50.609
<v Speaker 1>inflame issues, specifically in this case around data centers. I mean,

0:22:50.690 --> 0:22:53.790
<v Speaker 1>it's bad enough when... They're just doing it out of

0:22:53.850 --> 0:22:56.130
<v Speaker 1>malice for the U.S. and trying to bring us down.

0:22:56.190 --> 0:22:59.350
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, the fact that China is deriving an

0:22:59.410 --> 0:23:03.090
<v Speaker 1>advantage in the great race for AI dominance and everybody's

0:23:03.109 --> 0:23:07.229
<v Speaker 1>fallen for it. And, you know, I don't see the

0:23:07.340 --> 0:23:13.020
<v Speaker 1>media calling that out nearly as much as they're joining

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.720
<v Speaker 1>the cry that the data centers are scary. Well, I

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:18.700
<v Speaker 1>don't even think this should be a story about data centers.

0:23:18.740 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 1>To me, it's a story about We now live in

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:25.879
<v Speaker 1>a world where if a political story explodes, it's as

0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:29.340
<v Speaker 1>likely that they're Chinese bots as any human beings whatsoever.

0:23:29.460 --> 0:23:31.830
<v Speaker 1>It could be about anything. It could be this ice

0:23:31.869 --> 0:23:35.169
<v Speaker 1>shooting in Austin. How much of the stuff that is

0:23:35.250 --> 0:23:37.389
<v Speaker 1>floating around on social media about the ice shooting in

0:23:37.470 --> 0:23:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Austin is... Chinese bots. Right, right. That may be the

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 1>only phase or area of the media that's growing at

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:49.660
<v Speaker 1>this point. Russian, Chinese, North Korean, and Iranian disinformation campaigns.

0:23:49.940 --> 0:23:52.460
<v Speaker 1>They're doing a lot better than old media because they

0:23:52.510 --> 0:23:55.270
<v Speaker 1>just look for everything. You've got buildings full of people.

0:23:55.310 --> 0:23:59.930
<v Speaker 1>I've seen the buildings. Who sit at their computer monitors

0:24:00.030 --> 0:24:02.530
<v Speaker 1>and say, oh, there's controversy over this. Let's get started.

0:24:03.140 --> 0:24:06.310
<v Speaker 1>and they sow the seeds of bitterness and disinformation, both

0:24:06.350 --> 0:24:09.350
<v Speaker 1>sides of the aisle or both sides of whatever issue,

0:24:09.770 --> 0:24:12.990
<v Speaker 1>using our openness as a society against us, which we

0:24:13.010 --> 0:24:17.490
<v Speaker 1>could always handle pretty well in the print and broadcast

0:24:17.609 --> 0:24:21.710
<v Speaker 1>media days because the gatekeepers were still there. I don't

0:24:21.890 --> 0:24:25.050
<v Speaker 1>know how we stay on top of that in the

0:24:25.170 --> 0:24:30.260
<v Speaker 1>Internet age. I really don't. We were saying this... Boy,

0:24:30.300 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 1>to get before AI was big, you only have to

0:24:32.260 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 1>go back a year. We're saying this a year, five

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:36.939
<v Speaker 1>years ago, that in this new age we're living in,

0:24:37.300 --> 0:24:40.889
<v Speaker 1>you can't trust anything and blah, blah, blah. But it's exploded.

0:24:40.910 --> 0:24:41.290
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:24:41.850 --> 0:24:44.110
<v Speaker 1>In just the last couple of months.

0:24:44.510 --> 0:24:44.710
<v Speaker 3>Mm-hmm.

0:24:45.300 --> 0:24:48.160
<v Speaker 1>We're in a completely different era from a year ago

0:24:48.619 --> 0:24:51.590
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the ability. AI agents, they can send

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.230
<v Speaker 1>out and they swarm into Facebook and TikTok and X

0:24:54.270 --> 0:24:57.609
<v Speaker 1>and everything like that and start posting all over the place. Oh,

0:24:57.609 --> 0:24:59.870
<v Speaker 1>my God. Yeah. How are we going to have any

0:24:59.910 --> 0:25:03.129
<v Speaker 1>conversations about anything? And I hate to admit it because

0:25:03.150 --> 0:25:08.410
<v Speaker 1>this is their, the evildoers' aims. Exactly. There's almost no

0:25:08.530 --> 0:25:10.990
<v Speaker 1>rational response to this other than I don't believe anything.

0:25:11.230 --> 0:25:11.410
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:25:12.150 --> 0:25:15.260
<v Speaker 1>Which is exactly what Putin wants. It's what the KGB wanted.

0:25:15.660 --> 0:25:17.960
<v Speaker 1>They didn't want to persuade us of a particular point

0:25:17.980 --> 0:25:20.880
<v Speaker 1>of view necessarily. They just wanted us to be so

0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:26.280
<v Speaker 1>cynical we didn't believe anything. Because that's the fertile ground

0:25:26.300 --> 0:25:29.540
<v Speaker 1>that communism tries to exploit. It's not about the party's

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:33.310
<v Speaker 1>message particularly. It's about you just say whatever the party

0:25:33.350 --> 0:25:37.160
<v Speaker 1>tells you to say because you don't know what's true anymore. Oh, boy.

0:25:38.380 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 1>And I would like it if it meant maybe a

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 1>return of gatekeepers where you have certain media outlets that

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:48.080
<v Speaker 1>people trust and think, you know, I'm not listening to

0:25:48.100 --> 0:25:53.199
<v Speaker 1>anything except for, you know, these five media outlets. But, man,

0:25:53.300 --> 0:25:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know many people, especially young

0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:58.840
<v Speaker 1>people who are who are ever going to go to

0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:03.050
<v Speaker 1>the mainstream media ever again for news. Right, right. And,

0:26:03.190 --> 0:26:05.370
<v Speaker 1>you know, the gatekeepers were far from perfect, but some

0:26:05.390 --> 0:26:09.630
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest names in the so-called new media are

0:26:10.130 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 1>grifters who are willing to say anything no matter how

0:26:13.380 --> 0:26:16.920
<v Speaker 1>damaging it is, or actual crackpots who happen to be

0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:21.260
<v Speaker 1>entertaining and provocative and transgressive. That means they talk dirty

0:26:21.300 --> 0:26:28.340
<v Speaker 1>like Hassan Piker, the commie Islamist fake socialist. These socialists

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:31.899
<v Speaker 1>with their multi-million dollar houses. He drives a Porsche Cayenne,

0:26:31.960 --> 0:26:35.110
<v Speaker 1>for God's sake. He calls himself a socialist. How can

0:26:35.210 --> 0:26:38.270
<v Speaker 1>anybody fall for all that crap? You would think he

0:26:38.350 --> 0:26:41.190
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't do that just for the way it looks. Yeah, yeah.

0:26:41.670 --> 0:26:44.270
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about China's economy in a little bit.

0:26:44.470 --> 0:26:49.290
<v Speaker 1>It's more exciting than it sounds. But first, first, a

0:26:49.310 --> 0:26:52.270
<v Speaker 1>quick word or two from our friends from Rough Greens.

0:26:52.609 --> 0:26:54.449
<v Speaker 1>What would one more healthy year with your dog mean

0:26:54.470 --> 0:26:58.330
<v Speaker 1>to you? Maybe two or three. That'd be fantastic. And

0:26:58.390 --> 0:27:00.290
<v Speaker 1>none of us knows how many years we get with

0:27:00.330 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 1>our dogs. But the founder of Rough Greens, naturopathic Dr.

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Dennis Black, says healthy years aren't just a result of luck.

0:27:44.030 --> 0:27:44.250
<v Speaker 3>Woof.

0:27:44.470 --> 0:27:46.510
<v Speaker 1>I might have hantavirus, so keep an eye on me

0:27:46.530 --> 0:27:48.510
<v Speaker 1>for symptoms. I don't know what the first symptoms are.

0:27:48.910 --> 0:27:50.800
<v Speaker 1>But if I get any symptoms, keep an eye on

0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:53.379
<v Speaker 1>me for that. You've been handling a lot of mouse

0:27:53.500 --> 0:27:57.879
<v Speaker 1>poo lately. Oh, my God. So much. Wow. And breathing

0:27:57.920 --> 0:28:00.680
<v Speaker 1>in the air so much. Cleaning out a dirty shop

0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:04.500
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend. Just, oh. Oh, boy. I don't know.

0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I used to do that when I

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:08.010
<v Speaker 1>was a kid, have to clean up things like that.

0:28:08.090 --> 0:28:11.810
<v Speaker 1>And nobody talked about Hantavirus, but it was on my

0:28:11.850 --> 0:28:13.270
<v Speaker 1>mind a lot when I was doing it yesterday.

0:28:13.290 --> 0:28:14.070
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:28:14.170 --> 0:28:18.909
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Just cover your face or anything? No, probably should have.

0:28:18.950 --> 0:28:21.070
<v Speaker 1>M95 mask. You don't have any of those left over?

0:28:21.250 --> 0:28:23.670
<v Speaker 1>Or how about those great cloth masks everybody had to

0:28:23.710 --> 0:28:26.850
<v Speaker 1>wear during COVID that did freaking nothing then nor now?

0:28:27.510 --> 0:28:30.500
<v Speaker 1>Could wear one of those. What do you think, Dr.

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:30.879
<v Speaker 3>Fauci?

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:33.740
<v Speaker 1>Good idea? Apparently, if you get to the hospital fast enough,

0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you don't die. Really? As long as your wife is

0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 1>not Already dead, and then you're wandering around the house

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:42.460
<v Speaker 1>like Gene Hackman.

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:42.650
<v Speaker 2>Oh, boy.

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:47.620
<v Speaker 1>Oh, unfortunate. Yeah, yeah. So America is truly the land

0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:50.790
<v Speaker 1>of opportunity. Romanian crime gangs will tell you that. The

0:28:51.530 --> 0:28:55.610
<v Speaker 1>amount they've built from our welfare programs is really quite amazing,

0:28:55.650 --> 0:28:59.570
<v Speaker 1>that coming up. Oh, oh, next hour. I love this.

0:28:59.750 --> 0:29:03.970
<v Speaker 1>The headline is a tease. The unprofessional item Gen Z

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:08.580
<v Speaker 1>brings to interviews could be costing them jobs. Well, speaking

0:29:08.620 --> 0:29:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of that, the sort of thing that can keep you

0:29:10.240 --> 0:29:12.630
<v Speaker 1>from being an FBI agent or a member of the

0:29:13.250 --> 0:29:16.550
<v Speaker 1>Secret Service or anything like that in your past, we'll

0:29:16.570 --> 0:29:18.290
<v Speaker 1>go through a short list. And a lot of you

0:29:18.310 --> 0:29:24.550
<v Speaker 1>are already disqualified because you're absolutely immoral behavior. Wow. Youthful indiscretions,

0:29:24.630 --> 0:29:27.870
<v Speaker 1>my A. Wow. So stay tuned for all of that

0:29:27.950 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>coming up. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty. I really didn't

0:29:35.820 --> 0:29:39.969
<v Speaker 1>think Ed Sheeran would cave the way he did over

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:43.620
<v Speaker 1>the weekend if you haven't heard that he uh he

0:29:43.660 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 1>came out on stage and read from a teleprompter to

0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:49.219
<v Speaker 1>make sure every word is exactly right because if you

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:51.180
<v Speaker 1>end up on the wrong side of the woke mob

0:29:51.220 --> 0:29:54.110
<v Speaker 1>you know you're you're in trouble and he cried on

0:29:54.180 --> 0:29:57.210
<v Speaker 1>stage and When I made a mistake and I hurt

0:29:57.270 --> 0:29:59.890
<v Speaker 1>so many people and whatever, but we'll get into that

0:29:59.910 --> 0:30:00.850
<v Speaker 1>in hour two.

0:30:01.690 --> 0:30:02.110
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:30:02.470 --> 0:30:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Okay. I'll withhold my comments. Let's see. You realize

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you set yourself up for being yanked around for every

0:30:12.080 --> 0:30:15.110
<v Speaker 1>opening act you have the rest of your life. on

0:30:15.120 --> 0:30:18.090
<v Speaker 1>whatever political topic they think is important to them. Well,

0:30:18.150 --> 0:30:20.750
<v Speaker 1>and it's being wrong on the facts that pisses me off.

0:30:20.790 --> 0:30:22.790
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's one thing if you cave, if you

0:30:24.150 --> 0:30:26.570
<v Speaker 1>beat up your girlfriend and you say, you know, that

0:30:26.590 --> 0:30:29.290
<v Speaker 1>was awful, you're right, it was despicable, and I'm sorry,

0:30:29.330 --> 0:30:34.790
<v Speaker 1>and you cry. Okay, great. But you're right, Ed. Well,

0:30:34.830 --> 0:30:37.350
<v Speaker 1>he didn't do anything. That's the funny part. Anyway, here's

0:30:37.390 --> 0:30:39.670
<v Speaker 1>your freedom-loving quote of the day from George Bernard Shaw.

0:30:40.130 --> 0:30:44.610
<v Speaker 1>Going back to our series on progress. All censorships exist

0:30:44.650 --> 0:30:48.290
<v Speaker 1>to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions.

0:30:48.730 --> 0:30:52.630
<v Speaker 1>All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions and executed

0:30:52.670 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 1>by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently, the first condition of progress

0:30:57.000 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 1>is the removal of censorship. No, I did not choose

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:04.200
<v Speaker 1>that to send a message to the Trump administration. I

0:31:04.220 --> 0:31:07.959
<v Speaker 1>just liked it. My favorite George Bernard Shaw quote that

0:31:07.980 --> 0:31:11.930
<v Speaker 1>I've applied many times in my life. I can't go on.

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:13.180
<v Speaker 1>I'll go on.

0:31:14.000 --> 0:31:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 1>So good.

0:31:15.860 --> 0:31:16.520
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:20.820
<v Speaker 1>You blew me away. Mailbag. Drop us a note. Mailbag

0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:27.370
<v Speaker 1>at armstrongandgetty.com. A number of topics here. We'll begin with Aaron.

0:31:28.890 --> 0:31:35.310
<v Speaker 1>Dear liberal white women, including Ed Sheeran, that was unfair. Unfair.

0:31:36.030 --> 0:31:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Dear liberal white women, you chose the coziest, easiest, lowest risk,

0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:45.900
<v Speaker 1>zero cost identity. Congratulations to you. That's a good point.

0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:50.650
<v Speaker 1>I'll occasionally level blasts at the woke in school saying, oh,

0:31:50.690 --> 0:31:53.770
<v Speaker 1>you accepted everything your professors told you and you're going

0:31:54.150 --> 0:31:57.170
<v Speaker 1>along with everything everybody says all the time. You are

0:31:57.370 --> 0:32:01.770
<v Speaker 1>very brave and revolutionary. How about just Steve? In the

0:32:01.810 --> 0:32:04.310
<v Speaker 1>spirit of lifelong A &amp; G activity, I have a

0:32:04.350 --> 0:32:07.150
<v Speaker 1>new word for Jack's focus on AI likely wiping out

0:32:07.190 --> 0:32:12.040
<v Speaker 1>all of mankind in the next decade. Worrycerned. Combining, of course,

0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 1>worry with concerned and perfect harmony. Sounds like worsened. Worrycerned.

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think AI is going to wipe out all

0:32:20.220 --> 0:32:22.610
<v Speaker 1>of mankind in the next decade. As things worsen, the

0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:25.830
<v Speaker 1>pendulum slides from concerned over to worried. You can have

0:32:25.850 --> 0:32:28.100
<v Speaker 1>the trademark. I think it's going to upend the world

0:32:28.160 --> 0:32:31.060
<v Speaker 1>in ways we can't even imagine and the current world

0:32:31.100 --> 0:32:33.320
<v Speaker 1>be unrecognizable. I believe that. But I don't think we're

0:32:33.340 --> 0:32:37.450
<v Speaker 1>going to be dead. Got a great note from Marina

0:32:37.570 --> 0:32:42.210
<v Speaker 1>on the topic of the Clancy murder trial, etc. She's

0:32:42.270 --> 0:32:45.050
<v Speaker 1>a tough on crime kind of gal. She makes clear.

0:32:45.110 --> 0:32:47.730
<v Speaker 1>I know that. Frequent correspondent. I'm also a Christian, a

0:32:47.790 --> 0:32:49.670
<v Speaker 1>lover of life. I adore children. This story is a

0:32:49.710 --> 0:32:52.410
<v Speaker 1>complete tragedy. I cry when I think of those babies.

0:32:52.490 --> 0:32:54.969
<v Speaker 1>Saying that, the wrongs don't make a right. From all

0:32:55.010 --> 0:32:56.670
<v Speaker 1>that I've read and interviews I've heard, our country has

0:32:56.710 --> 0:32:59.020
<v Speaker 1>done a terrible job of investing in women's health issues.

0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:01.460
<v Speaker 1>Just a small amount of money goes toward learning about

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:04.640
<v Speaker 1>this topic of postpartum psychosis. It wasn't that long ago

0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:07.340
<v Speaker 1>doctors used to brush off the symptoms of postpartum depression

0:33:07.620 --> 0:33:11.340
<v Speaker 1>and psychosis altogether. One of the psychiatrists noted that only

0:33:11.380 --> 0:33:14.930
<v Speaker 1>a handful of psychiatrists are familiar with this and would

0:33:14.950 --> 0:33:17.190
<v Speaker 1>even know how to deal with the issue in the

0:33:17.270 --> 0:33:22.270
<v Speaker 1>right way. Joe, you mentioned the other day, AI is

0:33:22.310 --> 0:33:24.010
<v Speaker 1>like a brain and we need to learn about it.

0:33:24.010 --> 0:33:26.180
<v Speaker 1>You also said the human brain is hardly known. Well,

0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:28.780
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly right. She goes into a little detail there.

0:33:29.300 --> 0:33:31.940
<v Speaker 1>After watching Clancy's husband on 60 Minutes, I'm convinced the

0:33:31.980 --> 0:33:35.130
<v Speaker 1>system let her down. Wow. It's one thing to choose

0:33:35.170 --> 0:33:37.190
<v Speaker 1>to do drugs that cause your brain to go haywire

0:33:37.230 --> 0:33:39.130
<v Speaker 1>and be a burden on society. It's quite another to

0:33:39.150 --> 0:33:42.050
<v Speaker 1>have the medical establishments prescribe you a cocktail of medications

0:33:42.070 --> 0:33:45.800
<v Speaker 1>that lead to complete delusion. Imagine yourself at a restaurant

0:33:45.820 --> 0:33:48.660
<v Speaker 1>with your beautiful wife and somebody slips you a hallucinogenic drug.

0:33:48.700 --> 0:33:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Then the waiter comes up to you. You think he's

0:33:50.580 --> 0:33:52.340
<v Speaker 1>a beast of some kind. You take the knife from

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:54.340
<v Speaker 1>the table and defend your wife and kill the beast.

0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:57.410
<v Speaker 1>I think you're guilty of murder if you do that.

0:33:58.490 --> 0:34:01.490
<v Speaker 1>Under our current laws. If somebody slipped me a hosinogenic drug,

0:34:02.210 --> 0:34:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. Well, if you get hammered drunk

0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:07.900
<v Speaker 1>and you do something, you're guilty. That is true. And

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:10.319
<v Speaker 1>you could say, legitimately, I don't even remember doing that.

0:34:10.430 --> 0:34:10.589
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:14.110
<v Speaker 1>But her point is that she did not, quote unquote,

0:34:14.170 --> 0:34:16.350
<v Speaker 1>willingly take the drugs they were prescribed by doctors and

0:34:16.370 --> 0:34:19.339
<v Speaker 1>they made her insane. So I don't know whether that's true.

0:34:19.820 --> 0:34:22.439
<v Speaker 1>We ought to know the brain better than we do. Yeah,

0:34:22.540 --> 0:34:24.660
<v Speaker 1>I still like having the standard of you don't get

0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:27.540
<v Speaker 1>to strangle your babies to death and then walk among us.

0:34:27.680 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 1>We're going to err to the side of that. Yeah, yeah.

0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:35.710
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, Kevin, on the topic of the press ban,

0:34:35.730 --> 0:34:38.170
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to log in that I'm in the

0:34:38.350 --> 0:34:40.969
<v Speaker 1>for crowd. The First Amendment begins with Congress. You'll make

0:34:41.010 --> 0:34:43.350
<v Speaker 1>no law. Clearly, Congress is not involved in this situation.

0:34:44.530 --> 0:34:47.190
<v Speaker 1>They can print what they want. The president doesn't have

0:34:47.230 --> 0:34:51.110
<v Speaker 1>to let them in the White House. That's an interesting angle.

0:34:53.270 --> 0:34:56.660
<v Speaker 1>And then let it be handled politically, just because I

0:34:56.680 --> 0:35:02.480
<v Speaker 1>think politically he would lose. Correct. It would straighten itself out. Yeah,

0:35:03.219 --> 0:35:04.779
<v Speaker 1>I have a counterpoint to that, but it's not a

0:35:04.800 --> 0:35:07.780
<v Speaker 1>bad point. The mainstream press isn't free and independent anymore.

0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:10.819
<v Speaker 1>It's simply a propaganda arm of one political party. They

0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:13.000
<v Speaker 1>do measurable damage to the U.S., the pursuit of our

0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:17.739
<v Speaker 1>interests and the unity of our people. Because if over time,

0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:20.279
<v Speaker 1>if presidents only because we got clips of back when

0:35:20.320 --> 0:35:23.509
<v Speaker 1>Barack Obama was talking about banning Fox because it wasn't

0:35:23.550 --> 0:35:29.170
<v Speaker 1>a real news source. If presidents started only allowing in

0:35:29.230 --> 0:35:31.759
<v Speaker 1>the press that's favorable to them, people would turn them

0:35:31.960 --> 0:35:34.480
<v Speaker 1>off and they would realize, OK, we're not reaching anybody here.

0:35:35.430 --> 0:35:39.140
<v Speaker 1>I think. I would think so, too. My counterpoint, and

0:35:39.180 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's kind of a fuzzy but powerful argument,

0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:45.900
<v Speaker 1>is directionally, we all need to be in favor of

0:35:45.960 --> 0:35:49.380
<v Speaker 1>the First Amendment. We can't start picking and choosing and

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:52.940
<v Speaker 1>saying it's inconvenient. But there's more to be said, and

0:35:53.160 --> 0:35:53.500
<v Speaker 1>we will.

0:35:53.700 --> 0:35:53.859
<v Speaker 2>Yep.
