1 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: Hello there, Happy Wednesday. Welcome to another episode of The 2 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: Chuck Podcast. The best thing that's happened in the last 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: twenty four hours since the University of Mind Me hasn't 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: lost a football game. Yes, I know it's the weekday, 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: but you know, these are baby steps in my coping 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,159 Speaker 1: mechanism when it comes when it comes to that, you know, 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of Look, the Trump presidency introduces all 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: sorts of ways to deal with him and to combat him. 9 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: You can try to treat him as a conventional candidate. 10 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: You can try to treat him as an outlier president. 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: You can try to treat him as an existential threat. 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: There have been various ways that different entities have tried 13 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: to deal with the shakeup that Donald Trump has brought 14 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: to American politics. Well, what's funny about all of the 15 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: shaking up that he does, all of the chaos that 16 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: he brings. He's actually falling into a trap that many 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: a president has fallen into, which almost is universally led 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: to bad outcomes for them in domestic elections. And what 19 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: I mean is being too consumed with international and to 20 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: think that Donald Trump, the guy who ran on an 21 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: American first platform, the guy who does not believe in 22 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: multilateral treaties, The guy who does not believe in collective 23 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: security is somehow finding himself so consumed with his own 24 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: legacy building, and most presidents get consumed with that, and 25 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: the only place to establish the legacy is in foreign affairs. 26 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: That he's taking his eye off the ball, the domestic 27 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 1: promises he's made, right. The Argentinian example is a perfect case. 28 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: So here he is trying desperately to help an ideological 29 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: ally in Javier Malayal, and he desperately needs his economy 30 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: essentially bailed out, so the United States has agreed to 31 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: do it. And then on top of that, Donald Trump, 32 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: out of nowhere says, hey, we'll buy Argentinian beef. At 33 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: a time when everything in our food industry has essentially 34 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: been hampered by Donald Trump's policies between his immigration deportations, 35 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: which has made hiring people to work and meat processing 36 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: plants almost impossible, just ask folks, and chicken processing plants, 37 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: places like Arkansas, beef processing plants and places like Nebraska, 38 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: and pork processing plants and places like Nebraska and Iowa, 39 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: things like that. You have that issue plus the tariffs. Right, 40 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: So it's been a double way. May imagine being a 41 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: cattle rancher who also grows soybeans. Man, and you voted 42 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump thinking that he was going to bring 43 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: you some good American first conservative policy, and all Donald 44 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: Trump is doing is literally making your life and making 45 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: your economic life a total nightmare. Right, You're going to 46 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: have the government buying beef from another country, undermining our 47 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: beef industry, and we're going to have soybean crops that 48 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: may eventually rot and go nowhere because China has found 49 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: other ways to buy soybeans from many other countries, including Argentina. 50 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: But it's not just Argentina that has been a universal 51 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: distraction to Donald Trump. Right, he's got to try to 52 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: do some trade deal with China. He's consumed with that. 53 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 1: He's obviously that he sees the peace steel potential peace 54 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: steel which may fall apart at any moment in Israel 55 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: between the between the Hamas and Israel, which I love 56 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: the term that somebody leaked out from the Trump administration 57 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: that they're sending people over there to go BBE sitting, 58 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: because it's pretty clear the right wing pressure BBE is 59 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: facing is all about pulling back from the agreement that 60 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: was made. But the fact this is a case, and 61 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: this was something I wasn't one hundred percent sure about. 62 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: You know, it's one thing to announced the agreement between 63 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: Israel and Amas, and it's another thing to make sure 64 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: it sticks. And I'll give this administration credit, they're trying 65 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: to make it stick, sending vans over there, sending what 66 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: coughback over there to do again what a Trump administration 67 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: official is calling bb sitting. But again, he is consumed 68 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: with an international legacy on foreign policy, this war with Venezuela, 69 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: where obviously I made that the focal point of my 70 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: podcast the other day, there's this policy. If it ever 71 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: gets any congressional scrutiny, you know, there's definitely being We're 72 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: being misled, right. There's no fentanyl at all having to 73 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: do with anything with Venezuela. This is clearly an attempt 74 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: to do regime change with Maduro. Ironically, I think he 75 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: would have more political support domestically if they would not 76 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: lie about what they're doing. But they're trying to do 77 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: this backhanded way, thinking that they because of his America 78 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: First proclamations, he doesn't want to just willy nilly get 79 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: into a war for regime change, so he's got to 80 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: somehow ground it in one of his campaign promises. What 81 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: did he ground it in? He's going to go after 82 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: these cartels that are bringing fentanyl killing Americans the United States. 83 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: The problem is whatever fentanyl issue that we have comes 84 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: from Mexico via China. That's the situation. And of course 85 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: he's afraid to get tough on China right now because 86 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: we're in an essentially mutual assured destruction when it comes 87 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: to each other's economy. And he certainly got getting some 88 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: cooperation with Mexico to limit the number of border crossings 89 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: that we've had. So he's trying to use this, you know, 90 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: it's sort of a pay no attention to what I 91 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: pay attention to what I said, but not where I 92 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,119 Speaker 1: was talking about. Instead focus over here and will use 93 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: this rubric of that. Obviously, they were sort of exposed 94 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: with their questionable legal strategy here because I think they 95 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: can't defend what they did on our be it using 96 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:22,119 Speaker 1: our constitution. So they've repatriated survivors of these bombings. Well, 97 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: what is Ecuador done? Well? On Tuesday evening, the Associated 98 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: Press reported that one of the survivors of a US 99 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: strike of that submersible Narco sub that was accused by 100 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: the Trump administration of transporting drugs in the Caribbean ended 101 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: up being released by authorities in Ecuador after prosecutor said 102 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: they had no evidence that he committed a crime in 103 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: their nation, which was part of the issue. Right, this 104 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: administration who presented no evidence to the public, no evidence 105 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: to allies, no evidence to Congress. They have presented no evidence. 106 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: Perhaps they've presented evidence to themselves, to various legal councils. 107 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: But given that we've had a resignation of the commander 108 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: of Southcom, I question whether they've been able to come 109 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: up with the legal rationale to do what they're doing. 110 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: There has been none of this. And again, we do 111 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: not have a functioning United States Congress. If we had 112 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: a functioning United States Congress, they would be focused on this. 113 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: And yet, sadly we don't have a function in Congress. 114 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: You know, I vacillate between we sit here, is this 115 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: sort of a we just have an incompetently run government 116 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: and will sort of muddle through this, or we have 117 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: a president who's intentionally trying to weaken every other a 118 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: political party that has decided to go all in with Trump, 119 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: weaken all of the guardrails of the functioning republic and 120 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: just concentrate all power within within one person in the 121 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: executive branch, which of course would be a dangerous precedent. 122 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: And that's the concerned that many people have here. It's 123 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: the precedents that are being set. The idea that Trump 124 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: will be the one and only president that tries to 125 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: execute power the way he's executed it, I think is 126 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: quite naive. And this is why I've been very disappointed 127 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: in the lack of oversight, the lack of concern by Congress, 128 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: a coequal branch of government where the executive is not 129 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: supposed to have any more authority over the legislative, and 130 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: yet they continue to do that. But I'm going on 131 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: a roundabout way to say Donald Trump is focused on 132 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: everything except domestic issues in the United States. This is 133 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: a man that is not focused on the economy. This 134 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: is a man that is not aware that inflation is up, 135 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: not down. This is a man that is not aware 136 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: that prices are going up, not down. Electricity has gone 137 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: price of energy has gone up, not down. We have 138 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: a continuing softening of an economy. And I will tell 139 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: you this. I remember My first professional campaign covering was 140 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two, and George H. W. Bush was he 141 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: was presiding over the fall of the entire Soviet side 142 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: of things, right, the entire Iron Curtain was falling. This 143 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: was essentially a victory lap for democracy, a victory for 144 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: the United States. And he was going all over the 145 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: world making new allies, creating a G eight at the time, 146 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to bring more of these 147 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: Soviet satellite countries into the free world. And as the 148 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: economy started getting soft, Democrats successfully said, hey, this guy 149 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: cares about all things overseas. He doesn't care about Americans here. 150 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: And you're already starting to see like the bailout. So 151 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: we're going to bail out Argentina's economy by their beef, 152 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: but raise prices on people's healthcare. Right, This is not 153 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: going to be a hard political message to sell. And 154 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: the irony is Donald Trump ran in America first meeting, 155 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: it's all about repairing the country, right, all about making 156 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: America great again. And instead he's so consumed with his 157 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: own legacy. He's consumed with these trade deals that he 158 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: has to make because he's decided tariffs or are a 159 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: better way to run an economy than how the economy's 160 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: gone over the last thirty years. He's in some ways 161 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: create the mess that he has to clean up in 162 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: one on one diplomacy is a mess that he created himself. 163 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: Needless to say, he's consumed with having summits with Kim 164 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: Jong un and summits with Vladimir Putin and summits with she. 165 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: But what's he doing for your grocery budget? You see 166 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: where this is going, and I think you're starting to 167 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: see some Republicans get very nervous that this administration is 168 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: taking its eye off the ball. They got elected for 169 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: one reason, to bring down costs. They think they got 170 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: elected for other reasons. But the amount of money they're 171 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: spending on themselves on essentially businesses, or helping to benefit 172 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: businesses that maybe their friends can get rich on, or 173 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: sort of enhancing their own politics. Take Christy Nome at 174 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security. Just in the last week, right, 175 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: we have learned that the largest expenditure for television ads 176 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: by any political entity is not by any actual campaign group, 177 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: but it's by a US government agency, the Department of 178 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: Homeland Security. Our friends at Axios reported that DHS has 179 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: so far. We're not even one year into this, this 180 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: new administration, but the Christie Nome laed DHS has been 181 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: at least fifty one million dollars on a wave of 182 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: direct to camera spots. And you've seen them. I watch 183 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: a lot of college football. She's her faces everywhere I travel. 184 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: She looks She's not the first Homeland Security secretary to 185 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: put her face on the TSA pre check screenings and 186 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: the security screening television cameras, but to be front and 187 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: center on the actual ad campaign around the country around 188 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 1: deportations and all of them. They're supposed to be public 189 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: service messages, but instead they appear to be campaign style 190 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: messages with President Trump as the you know, most mentioned 191 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: phrase and all of the creatives, and it really does 192 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: seem as it's Christy Nomes effort to say, hey, look 193 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: at me, I'm one of Donald Trump's right hand people 194 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: when it comes to immigration. Right. And you know, if 195 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: this were not a political ad, they wouldn't be tapping 196 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: a political ad agency, but they did. They taped the 197 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: conservative line political addgency called People Who Think and Safe 198 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: America Media and it's a contract with a ceiling of 199 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: up to two hundred million dollars. So they've spent fifty 200 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: one million in less than a year, which means that 201 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: their plan probably is to spend two hundred million, probably 202 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: over this year and next year before the midterm elections. 203 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: They've even done Spanish language versions of these they target. 204 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: Some of them are about telling people not to come 205 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: to the border, some of them are telling people to 206 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: self deport. So that's two hundred million dollars that's not 207 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: being used to bring down the cost of groceries or 208 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: bring down the cost of healthcare. Then what do we 209 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: learn over the weekend? Christinome has bought not one, but 210 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: two new planes. Somehow the Department of Homeland's security secretary 211 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: needs a fleet of planes. Okay, I'm not sure, you know, 212 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: we can decide how many planes she needs. So they're 213 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: buying two Gulf Tream G seven hundreds. It's about another 214 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars all in. This looks a lot 215 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: more like giving her as much easy transportation to travel 216 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: the country. She's got an ad budget to promote herself. 217 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, if you're the vice president of 218 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: the United States and you think you're the heir parent 219 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: to Maga and Donald Trump, all of a sudden, Jady 220 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: Vance has one plane, Christy Nom now has two. Marco 221 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: Rubio has one plane, Christy Noam now has two. Jad 222 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: Vance hasn't launched his ad campaign promoting various parts of 223 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: the of the agenda that he thinks or something he 224 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: should take credit for. Christy Nom has. Marco Rubio hasn't 225 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: done this. Christy Nom has even Pete Hegseth for all 226 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: of his obsessions over his own personal vanity, hasn't done 227 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: what Christy Noam has done. So I do wonder if 228 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: she's putting herself out there a bit too much for Magaworld. 229 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if if there is some sort 230 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: of because you're going to have, whether it's Vance, whether 231 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: it's Reba, whether it's other people who think she's trying, 232 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: you know, she's trying a little bit too hard to 233 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: essentially get something out of this. It's look, I will 234 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: say this, if she pulls it off and becomes a 235 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: viable presidential candidate, I'm skeptical, but I'm sitting I'm not 236 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: going to rule it up. She'll becomes She'll be the 237 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: first person to turn what I thought is the deadest 238 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: of debt in jobs for a politic for the politically ambitious, 239 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: which is DHS. Because ultimately, and this is this is 240 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: the piano that hangs over the head of every DHS 241 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: secretary Christy Noman included, which is, when something goes wrong, 242 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: You're going to be the first place people come to 243 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: go what went wrong, what happened, Whether it's disaster recovery, 244 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: or whether it's an actual problem at the border, or 245 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: whether it's something having to do with the Marshall Service. 246 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that come under her purview 247 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: or the Secret Service now right, anything that goes wrong 248 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: in security will be will be sort of She'll be 249 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: front and center having to deal with the response. You 250 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: don't necessarily get a positive. Now she's hoping to get 251 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: a positive out of this. She is the face of 252 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: the mass deportation that somehow this will make her politically 253 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: viable in a MAGA primary in twenty twenty eight. I'm 254 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: not going to say that that isn't possible. It is, 255 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: but I do feel like this is a lot of 256 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: wasted money for somebody where one unexpected event will likely 257 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: kneecap any any potential chances she has because let's just 258 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: say I'm not confident this is a department that's going 259 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: to be able to handle an extreme weather issue. So far, 260 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: they've gotten lucky. This hasn't been a very light hurricane 261 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: season for the United States. We haven't had had a 262 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: big event yet. It's October. Superstorm Sandy happened later at 263 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: this time, we've had November storms. Maybe we get through 264 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: this year that way. Are you sure we're going to 265 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: get through next year we've already had You know, DHS 266 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: should have taken a lot more blame for its lack 267 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: of coordination for those floods in Texas, But the Texas 268 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: first responders were a disaster on their own and they 269 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: didn't have the proper equipment down there, so they took 270 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: more of the brunt. But DHS was pretty slow to respond. 271 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure. I think that I have the 272 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: confidence that they've They've so concentrated all their resources on 273 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: deportation that the other parts of their job, namely disaster response. 274 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: Is feels like a ticking time bomb when it comes 275 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: to the competence issue of DHS. But again, this is 276 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: now four hundred million dollars essentially to promote a future 277 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: presidential candidate with two planes in an campaign that have 278 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: nothing to do with keeping you safer, nothing to do 279 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: with lowering the costs of groceries, and nothing nothing to 280 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: bring down the cost of energy or anything you've been 281 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: dealing with. So it's a it is this is this 282 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: is the material where you can get to independent voters. 283 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not convinced hitting him over redoing the 284 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: East Wing will be as impactful as wasting government money, 285 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: spending too much time overseas, essentially not committing to what 286 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: you promised to do, which is bring down costs. And 287 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: instead they seem to be worried about the Argentinian economy 288 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: more than they're worried about the American economy. They seem 289 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: to be worried about their own personal public image rather 290 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: than worried about bringing down the costs, which is why 291 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: they won that election. So I just point that out there. 292 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: I think he's there that the Republicans may be stuck 293 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: having to defend in the midterm elections. A Trump administration 294 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: that seems to be a lot more focused on their 295 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: personal legacy, political advancement, and not a personal enrichment and 296 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: vanity rather than on your problems, rather than on putting 297 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: America first, just something to think about. There there's a 298 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: reason results matter more than promises, just like there's a 299 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: reason Morgan and Morgan is America's largest injury law firm. 300 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: For the last thirty five years, they've recovered twenty five 301 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: billion dollars for more than half a million clients. It 302 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: includes cases where insurance companies offered next to nothing, just 303 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: hoping to get away with paying as little as possible. 304 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: Morgan and Morgan fought back ended up winning millions. In fact, 305 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, one client was awarded twenty six million dollars, 306 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: which was a staggering forty times the amount that the 307 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: insurance company originally offered. That original offer six hundred and 308 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars twenty six million, six hundred and fifty 309 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: thousand dollars.

Uh 319 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: it's pretty clear, right, there's not a single corner of 320 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: modern life, politics, sports, entertainment, business that has been untouched 321 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: by what is a growing anxiety over artificial intelligence. Right 322 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: everywhere you look, someone is pondering what happens when AI 323 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: comes for their industry. AI in sports, analytics, AI in journalism, 324 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: AI and jobs sort of the white collar database jobs, 325 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: AI and entertainment, AI and creativity itself. So you can 326 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: see the tension here and show up, you know, one 327 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: of the ways I've noticed. Have you notice in pharmaceutical 328 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: commercials you're starting to see all of a sudden there 329 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: a lot more of them are animated instead of live action. 330 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: Well it's not a coincidence, right, Ever, since sort of 331 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: AI matured to make video, you could put real people 332 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: in that, you know, it is if you use realistic 333 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: AI generated humans instead of real actors as a way 334 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: to save money, viewers might recoil. They're not going to 335 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: like that, even be sort of loud protests at these 336 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: companies who themselves already have been coming under siege for 337 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: high costs and things like that. Right, So by making 338 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: an animated you sort of you know, because look, it's 339 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: pretty unsettling, I think to watch a person who isn't one, right, 340 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: it's a subconscious reminder that somebody decided not to hire 341 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: a human being. And that is the real fear that's 342 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: out there, this idea that there's this group of tech 343 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: bros that want to essentially replace humankind. So that's why 344 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: you've seen animation. But it's sort of this brief step 345 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: that you see in AI. Right, So animation is safer 346 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: right now, it's sidesteps this sort of potential cultural backlash 347 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: that might come from making the replacement of actors too obvious. 348 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: So that's just one small esthetic thing. But there's something 349 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: else that's happening on here and why I believe a 350 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: coming culture war over AI is there. I was watching 351 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: this new announcement video from a candidate running for the 352 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: US Senate in Florida. His name is Hector Muhika. He's 353 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: a Venezuelan born former Google executive and he's exploring a 354 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: run as a Democrat. Well, in his ad, towards the end, 355 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: he started accused his opponent the Republican appointed Senator Ashley 356 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: Moody of quote AI making decisions over medicare pricing and 357 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: quote AI deciding what care that you get. So think 358 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 1: about that, right, this is what I think you're going 359 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: to start to see. AI in fear is going to 360 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: go hand in hand. One side of the argument's going 361 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: to be this, right, fear of a non human making 362 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: a decision. Fear than an algorithm, not a doctor or 363 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: a government official will decide whether your grandmother gets treatment, 364 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: a treatment for your grandmother gets approved, or a treatment 365 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: for yourself gets approved. This is a very potent emotional trigger. Right, 366 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: It'll be easy to weaponize because none of us want 367 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: to feel powerless to a machine. And let's be honest, 368 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: we know fear selves. Donald Trump has a successful political 369 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: career because he weaponized fear of immigrants. Fear of immigration. Right, 370 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 1: that was at the core of how he became a 371 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: political juggernaut. But fear also works the other way, right. 372 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: The drive to have an unregulated AI AI protocols to 373 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: hurry up and win the quote unquote race with China 374 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: to control AI is another type of fear. You know, 375 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: you don't want government getting involved because then we'll lose 376 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: the AI race. Do you want to be Do you 377 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: want artificial intelligence controlled by the Chinese? Right, that's another 378 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: type of fear. That's what the space race, right, It's 379 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: it's how frankly, politicians convinced Americans to throw a bunch 380 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: of tax dollars, tax dollars in this mission to the 381 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: moon because we couldn't have the Soviets getting to the 382 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: moon before us. That right, it's another way to use fear. 383 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: So no matter what with AI in campaign twenty twenty six, 384 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: and for sure by campaign twenty twenty eight, politicians are 385 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: going to have a fear argument about AI. Fear of 386 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: either losing the AI race is one way to pitch it, 387 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: or fear that AI is replacing human beings. And it 388 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: isn't just on job job losses. So I do think 389 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: if you're running for president in twenty twenty eight, you 390 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: better have an answer to this. You better have an 391 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: answer to AI anxiety. Bernie Sanders, of course, he's put 392 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: out a full you know, he wants to create the 393 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: thirty two hour workweek and put in some guarantees. Mark 394 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: Kelly another potential twenty twenty eight or he's been talking 395 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: about sort of almost like an AI tax. He's trying 396 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: to come up with a system that was similar to 397 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: what we saw during the age of automation and free 398 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: trade agreements in the late eighties and early nineties. These 399 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: these sort of you know, if you were if your 400 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: job was displaced by trade, there might be extra money 401 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: for you longer on unemployment benefits and maybe access to 402 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: free money to get retrained. Well, what's the reality of that. 403 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: That didn't really work, did it? How do we know 404 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: it didn't really work because we just look what happened 405 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: in the twenty tents, right, we had the entire Essentially, 406 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: you could argue the rise of Trump, Sanders, Breaks it 407 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: throw all that in together. That is essentially a rejection 408 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: that whatever soft landing politicians said was possible when it 409 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: came to the globalization, the voters who supported Trump and 410 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: Bernie and Breaks it didn't feel like they landed very softly. 411 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: So this is coming. Our politics are going to be 412 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: fought over a version of this culture war over AI. 413 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: But I do think the AI companies need to pay 414 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: attention to something as well, which is they better start 415 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: to value the human experience, because you know who is 416 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: going to value human beings, human beings. Where am I 417 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: going with this? I get right now, you look at 418 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: all this, and you know the dystopian nature of Trump's 419 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: presidency and where that's headed, the weird sort of authoritarian 420 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: the comfort level of some of these elected Republicans have 421 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: with this nonsense that Trump does, particularly with what he's 422 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, he's ruining the rule of law, all these 423 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: pardons of only his supporters. Right, we have totally undermined 424 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: the rule of law. Now he's trying to What's funny 425 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: is apparently Donald Trump, this is a quick society. He's 426 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: trying to shake down the Justice Department to for like 427 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: over two hundred and fifty million dollars what he claims 428 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: are damages over over the the various indictments that he 429 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: faced from the federal government, the various investigations. So he 430 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: is he started this process before he was president, but 431 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: now he's weirdly suing himself and his former personal lawyer, 432 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: Todd Blanche is going to be the guy that signs 433 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: off on this. So oh, by the way, when you're 434 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: thinking about all the money that this administration is spending 435 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: not helping you find lower cost health care or lower 436 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: the grocery bills. He's also going to take two hundred 437 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars of you of our tax dollars 438 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 1: and just pocket it money he didn't have to spend anyway. 439 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: He ripped off donors from the RNC to pay all 440 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: his legal bills. As it is, he never spent a 441 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 1: dollar of these things. So I don't know who's getting 442 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: their money back if he's claiming some sort of damage 443 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: to the US government. But I digress. I go back 444 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: to where we're headed with AIM. I do think that 445 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: there's going to be an undetended consequence that might actually 446 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: move us in an interesting direction at a time when 447 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: I think we've all felt suffocated by the tech world, 448 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: and that is the more things are not believed online. Right, 449 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: the launch of Sora has been is sort of the 450 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: exclamation point on the total destruction the tech companies have 451 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: done to the information ecosystem. You know, one of the 452 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: reasons why I'm very skeptical of the of of allowing 453 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: a allowing tech firms and AI to run a mock 454 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: here is we had the same attitude with social media 455 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: and and and look what they did, right, These tech 456 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: companies absolutely destroyed trust in all of our institutions. Social 457 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: media has been a total disaster for UH. It has 458 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: not made things better, It's made things pretty much on 459 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: everything worse. And now we're supposed to trust them to 460 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: make sure AI, make sure we quote win the race 461 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: for AI and it doesn't end up, uh in as 462 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: dystopian of a situation as we deal with now with 463 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: social media. So forgive my lack of confidence UH in 464 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: these in these companies, but they've already failed on social media. 465 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure we should be allowing them to run 466 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: without supervision when it comes to AI. And yet as 467 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: much as I have zero confidence in tech companies looking 468 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: out for humanity, zero confidence in this government looking out 469 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: for humanity, you know, I trust looking out for humanity. Humans. 470 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: And one of the many AHA moments I've had recently 471 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: is when I speak to large groups and I talk 472 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: about and I get asked about AI in general, and 473 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: where's this headed? Usually it has to do with a 474 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: on journalism. Sometimes it's in politics, you know. I note 475 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: that I do think we're going to see a premium 476 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: put on the human touch. And what do I mean 477 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: by this? I'll survey an audience that I'm speaking to 478 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: and I'll say, how many of you would pay extra 479 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: money in order to get a customer service agent that 480 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: was human rather than dealing with a bot, audition or 481 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: something similar. Two thirds of hands almost always go up. 482 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: In fact, I was at a tech conference and I 483 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: asked this question in two thirds of hands went up. 484 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: We value human interactions. We don't trust entities. Entities may 485 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: be more accurate, right, a computer maybe, or more accurate, 486 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: but the lack of humanity adds a layer of distrust. Right. 487 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: I've used to say that about you know, these entities. 488 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: When you talk about working at a major network. You know, 489 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: does the entity care about the employee? No, there is 490 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: no The entity is not human. Right. I used to say, 491 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: NBC does not care about its employees, but the employees 492 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: care about the reputation of NBC. But NBC is an entity. 493 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,239 Speaker 1: The people who are supervising it, they're just you know, 494 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: they're being counters. They're there, they have a feater share 495 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: responsibility their shareholders, but they don't really care about their 496 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: employees because they're not being judged by how their employees 497 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: feel about them. They're simply being judged by the bottom line. 498 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: And so entities. This is why I think we won't 499 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: care about an entity as much as we care about 500 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: a human and so the more we don't trust things online, 501 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: the more we're going to value the human experience. So 502 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: I've already you know, anecdotally we can you know, we 503 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: will pay more money to deal with a human being 504 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: on customer service. So that tells you something. If you 505 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: don't believe anything you see online and right now, thanks 506 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: to the launch of Sora, there's not a single piece 507 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: of video you can fully feel confident in his right 508 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: So what are you going to believe? Well, you're gonna 509 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: have to see things in person, the live experience. If 510 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: you're a journalist, you're gonna have to be fully transparent. 511 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: You probably should do more live streams, right I You know, 512 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: the future version of the Chuck Podcast may always be 513 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: that I record what I'm doing now fully live, so 514 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: everybody can see the good, the bad, the ugly, and 515 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: we maybe say here's the raw material and then here's 516 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: how we edited it. If you're going to want to 517 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: have trust, you're going to have to be fully transparent, 518 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: fully available to people in person and on products. You know, 519 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: it may be that stores come back stores might be 520 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: not where you actually buy things. Stores in the rest 521 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: of the twenty first century might be where you touch 522 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: and feel something to see if it is actually what 523 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:38,959 Speaker 1: they say it is online. So the more artificial everything 524 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: online becomes, the more we will put a premium on 525 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: the real the in real life, the in person experience, 526 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: the value of life, the value of human to human contact. 527 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: It may be that you have some weirdos in Silicon 528 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: Valley and there is an entire set of weirdos out 529 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: there that are very smart, but they're super weird who 530 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: do want to replace humans, right, or view sort of 531 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: humans as potential task rabbits for them. I think Bezos said, 532 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: you know, basically. I think at one point, supposedly he 533 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: was quoted as saying, there's going to be essentially the 534 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: super rich, and then a whole bunch of people that 535 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 1: service the super rich, and that will be the new 536 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,240 Speaker 1: middle class because everything else is automated with some weird, 537 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: sort of very let them eat cake type of observation. 538 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: But it was made by somebody who's who doesn't live 539 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: in the real world, right, doesn't live where ninety percent 540 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: of us live. I know this sounds pollyannish on this front, 541 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: but don't bet against humanity on this. We are not 542 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: going to marginalize ourselves as a species. So even at 543 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: these tech companies do create tools in an attempt to 544 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: marginalize the human experience, and if anything, even sort of 545 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 1: say no to know, this is smarter than a human being, 546 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: This is more thorough than a human being. We aren't 547 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: going to allow ourselves to be displaced, and that is 548 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: something tech companies. The more they keep us out of 549 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: this process and keep humans away from this, and the 550 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 1: more they keep elected officials away from regulating and trying 551 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: to put up early guardrails, the more they're actually going 552 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: to put their own companies in jeopardy, because if they 553 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: keep plowing forward sort of using all of us as 554 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: guinea pigs and using society as guinea pigs like they 555 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,280 Speaker 1: did with social media, the populist revolt that took place 556 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: on the right with Trump will look like small potatoes 557 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: compared to sort of a populist revolt from multiple parts 558 00:35:55,120 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: of the political spectrum. And you may see a demand 559 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: essentially the pitchforks come out for these tech overlords that 560 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: essentially tried to create a world that left out the 561 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 1: human touch. So I know that all of that sounds 562 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: a little science fiction y, but at the same time, 563 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: I do think this is you're going to see it 564 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: percolate more in political campaign So the fear of AI, 565 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: either fear of losing it to the Chinese or the 566 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: fear of it replacing us in jobs or in culture, 567 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: and all sorts of things. It's going to be a 568 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: big driver of American politics over the next two to 569 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: four years, So I do think people need to prepare 570 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: for Ultimately, I call myself short term pessimistic and all 571 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: this plays out, but long term optimistic because we will 572 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: react in the same way now we don't trust anything. 573 00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 1: What it will do is it'll motivate us to have 574 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: more in real life experiences. So for those that are 575 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: sort of pessimistic about all this, don't under sell the 576 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: human experience and do realize humans value humans a hell 577 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: of a lot more than they do some computer that 578 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: he has been powered by a data farm. All right, 579 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: with that, I got my top five lists coming up, 580 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: and this is a fun one. It has to do 581 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: with my favorite political TV shows of the last ten years, 582 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 1: because one of them is coming back with a new season. 583 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: So I thought it'd be a good time to talk 584 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 1: about that I'm going to be taking some questions. Let's 585 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: sneak in the break, all right. I want to have 586 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: a little fun with my top five list this week, 587 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: Top Top Top jest. One of my favorite shows is back. 588 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: And you know, often I get asked which political shows 589 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: TV shows do I like, And usually the question is 590 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: you must love west Wing, and I'm like, oh, here 591 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 1: we go, Aaron sork and stuff. I don't now. Part 592 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: of it is that west Wing is is a a 593 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: sort of a fever dream of of of what a 594 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: liberal utopia, utopian system would work. It's not, it doesn't. 595 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,720 Speaker 1: I guess what I look for in my political TV 596 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:46,720 Speaker 1: shows is a little bit of reality. I don't need 597 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: all of it to be reality based. I don't need 598 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,280 Speaker 1: to be like a you know, as if you're following 599 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: an historical book. But I wanted to be realistic, and 600 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: I will just say West Wing was never realistic, not 601 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 1: one iota. And actually most of what Sorkin does is 602 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: not realistic, even though it is incredibly moving, entertaining and 603 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: sometimes inspiring. I mean, trust me, I'm a guy who's 604 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: seen a few good men so many times, and yet 605 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: I don't think any jag officer has ever had an 606 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 1: experience like Kevin Bacon or Tom Cruise, the two stars 607 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 1: of that movie. So with that spirit, I'm going to 608 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: give you my five favorite political TV shows from the 609 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: last ten years, not going back. So basically, now, it 610 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: could be a show that started before twenty fifteen, but 611 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 1: it had to end after twenty fifteen to make my list. 612 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: So my top five lists. Number one, I'm putting it's 613 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: the show that just came back, and it's a show 614 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: that in its first season I wouldn't have put in 615 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,399 Speaker 1: my top five, but now going into season three, the 616 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:02,399 Speaker 1: Diplomat is really, I have to say, is really now. 617 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: I haven't watched a single episode yet of season three, 618 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: but I loved season two. I loved where they've taken this, 619 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: I do think, and you know, I had the showrunner 620 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: on the podcast, so if you guys are curious, she 621 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: gave it terrific a little bit of a tease at 622 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: the time about a new season is coming on that front, 623 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: so we got to sort of learn that during that 624 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: interview process. But look, are there some things that are unrealistic. 625 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 1: The idea that you would use the ambassadorship to the 626 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 1: UK as a launching pad for a potential way to 627 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 1: vet a potential vice president. All right, that's a little unrealistic, 628 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:47,399 Speaker 1: but the sort of the way diplomacy works when you 629 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: sort of you know, sort of the formal stuff, the 630 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: informal stuff, the back channeling, the role the CIA plays, 631 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: how the CIA really is in the State Department, work 632 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: much closely together than anybody wants to ever fully admit. 633 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 1: So I feel like when it comes to that stuff, 634 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: it's really good. And what I really admire about what 635 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: the Diplomat did last season is, you know, everybody's been 636 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,760 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to portray a Trump like figure. 637 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: I love that they made the British Prime Minister the 638 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 1: Trump like figure rather than trying to make it. You know, 639 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: they sort of with Michael McKeon, they turned the president. 640 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 1: They basically had a Joe Biden like president. Michael McKean 641 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: I felt like, was doing his version of Biden, and 642 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: then they had the Trump like character be the British 643 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,760 Speaker 1: Prime Minister. So I thought that was very clever as well. 644 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: So look, I'm a huge fan. It's number one on 645 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: my list of the last ten years. I really think 646 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:49,840 Speaker 1: it's carry Russell's terrific. But I'll be honest. The character 647 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 1: and the actor I love the most is a character 648 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: the hal Wiler character I do as we learned. I 649 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: think it's Richard Holbrook Chile. Is sort of the backstory 650 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 1: of that character. For those of you that are diplomatic 651 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: history junkies. The actor's name is rufus Sewell and I 652 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: first saw him in a TV show called Man in 653 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: the High Castle. Also another one of my favorite sort 654 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: of alternative history TV shows. Doesn't it isn't going to 655 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,760 Speaker 1: make my list. It what's sort of on my radar. 656 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: He played the American Nazi. He's just you know, he's 657 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: just one of these character actors that I think is 658 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,319 Speaker 1: much strong. I think he can be a lead. And 659 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: I will just say I really enjoy him. I enjoy 660 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 1: his character. I've enjoyed him in almost every show I've 661 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: seen him in anyway. Diplomat number one on my list. 662 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: Number two. Number two is one that I've also mentioned. 663 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: In fact, I mentioned it in the last episode. It's 664 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,879 Speaker 1: for All Mankind. This is another one that I are 665 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 1: because you know, it does alternative history. And the whole 666 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 1: premise of this show is the Soviets beat the Americans 667 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,839 Speaker 1: to the moon and then like Part two of it 668 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 1: is the Soviets land put the first woman on the 669 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: moon before the United States does, and how America would 670 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 1: have responded, how our political system would have responded, frankly, 671 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: how Richard Nixon would have responded. I think this show 672 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,320 Speaker 1: nailed it. You know, they do these really fun little 673 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,720 Speaker 1: news vignettes as in between episodes, so if you really 674 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,919 Speaker 1: focus in, you got to you got to go onto 675 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: the Apple TV episode website and there'll be these little 676 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: little vignettes that sort of tell you what's happening, you know, 677 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: in the in their alternative political timeline. The show itself 678 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: is not hugely political, although but they the timeline is, 679 00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: and the backstory helps at least explain certain decisions. I 680 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,359 Speaker 1: think they nailed the way their predictions and how each 681 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,879 Speaker 1: party would behave, how each candid would behave. They had 682 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: these incredible flourishes, like because in their version events, Nixon 683 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 1: only has one term, not two, so nobody ever discovers 684 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 1: the secret recording mechanism in the White House, and presidents 685 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 1: keep it all the way until they have a donas 686 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 1: don't tell situation in the nineties. So I just think 687 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 1: they I thought the writers did a great job of 688 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: correctly predicting how the two parties would behave, what kind 689 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 1: of candidates would win, which parties would win, which direction 690 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:49,359 Speaker 1: things would go anyway. I love it. I think it 691 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: was intellectually challenging. It's number two on my list from 692 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,760 Speaker 1: the last ten years, so one Diplomat too from Mankind. 693 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 1: Number three is the show that many of us will 694 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 1: tell you depicts Washington politicians better than any other. And 695 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: it's and it's veep. It's sort of what veep Catchers is, 696 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:14,240 Speaker 1: how unintended so many things are in Washington that become 697 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 1: big deals. You know, there's always this assumption of intentionality 698 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:22,360 Speaker 1: in political behavior, whether by president's vice president, senators, governors, 699 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 1: et cetera. I can't tell you how often it is 700 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 1: sort of accidental in nature, and most of this stuff 701 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 1: is more accidental than not on so many levels. You know, 702 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of butterfly effects or of accidents 703 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 1: of history, you know. You know, one of the one 704 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,799 Speaker 1: of the more interesting ones that I'll share with you 705 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 1: now has to do with Donald Trump complaining about Barack 706 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 1: Obama's first state dinner, and he calls up the White 707 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: House basically wanting to either talk to Obama. The White 708 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: House Social Secretary, David axelrod high up because he had 709 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,320 Speaker 1: some ideas of how to heyld. He has said this recently. 710 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 1: He's talked about trying to get a ball room. He 711 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 1: thought it was silly that they used tents on the 712 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 1: South lawn, and he has wanted to help design a 713 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 1: ballroom for the White House forever. Well. David axelrout a 714 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 1: minute to me, never return that call. Nobody wanted to 715 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,399 Speaker 1: be the one to have to return. All who wants 716 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: to call Donald Trump back? I don't want to do it. 717 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 1: I don't want to do it right. That was the mindset. 718 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 1: What if they had called Donald Trump back and had 719 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 1: humored him and let him come up with some blueprints 720 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 1: for how to do state dinners, maybe in a nicer 721 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 1: set of tents or something like that. Imagine where we 722 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 1: would have been. Well, then again, imagine if the NFL 723 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 1: had allowed the Buffalo Bills to sell the team to 724 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:51,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. But I digress. So one diplomat, two for 725 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: all mankind three veep. Number four on my list is succession. 726 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 1: Look the sort of the media, the nexus of media 727 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: and politics, which is more important today than it was 728 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 1: even thirty years ago, forty years ago, fifty years ago, 729 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 1: and frankly wouldn't have been as part of any political 730 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,880 Speaker 1: storyline even in the eighties and nineties, right, the press 731 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 1: wasn't as much of a star, for instance, even of 732 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:24,280 Speaker 1: the West Wing, you know, back then. These days, obviously 733 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,280 Speaker 1: there's there's much more of a nexus between communications between 734 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,839 Speaker 1: media and politics. And there's no doubt Succession, you know, 735 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: And obviously it seemed to hwe fairly closely to the 736 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 1: drama inside the Murdoch family when it comes to Fox News. 737 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: But you know, the small things, the sort of the 738 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 1: dufist nepo baby that decides he wants to run for 739 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,799 Speaker 1: president and gets his one percent right, they just they 740 00:47:53,840 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 1: had these nice little grace notes that felt realistic. Right 741 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: on one hand, it wasn't. On the other hand, the 742 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,280 Speaker 1: more we've learned and seen, you're like, oh my god, 743 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: maybe it was. But when you look at what's been 744 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 1: out there, boy did Succession it turned out to be 745 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 1: a really smart show about politics as well as sort 746 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,080 Speaker 1: of behind the scenes when it comes to media moguls. 747 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 1: And finally, number five on my list is going to 748 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 1: be one where it might surprise you where I'm going 749 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 1: and it's the walking Debt. Now. The Walking Dead, of 750 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 1: course started before twenty fifteen, but you know, one I 751 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 1: think we're still there's still some Walking Dead franchise out there. 752 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,520 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what I loved about the first 753 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 1: six or seven or eight or nine or whatever seasons 754 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 1: of Walking Dead. I did eventually give up on it. 755 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,799 Speaker 1: I've not seen all of it, but here's what I thought. 756 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 1: Why I put Walking Down on one of my favorite 757 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: political TV shows of all time and certainly in the 758 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 1: last ten years, is what I thought they did a 759 00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,360 Speaker 1: good job of is sort of understanding how the different 760 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 1: ways human beings would try to organize themselves, and the 761 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 1: sort of the basic ways right there would be, you know, 762 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:13,840 Speaker 1: the charismatic leader might run a benevolent dictatorship in one community, 763 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 1: the charismatic leader might run a malevolent dictatorship in another community. 764 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 1: One would be super egalitarian. There was another community that 765 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: was run by all women. There's another, you know, community 766 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,719 Speaker 1: that seemed to have a lot of democracy for those 767 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,759 Speaker 1: that had. And then some sort of stormtroopers, you know 768 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 1: that we were sort of let loose to do whatever 769 00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 1: they wanted. It just what I thought they that Walking 770 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:49,239 Speaker 1: Dead at its best would capture are how it in 771 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:57,320 Speaker 1: some ways help explain how certain certain communities fall under 772 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 1: the spell of a dictator, or fall under the spell 773 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,839 Speaker 1: of a cult leader, or fall you know, or end 774 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 1: up just or end up thriving as a commune, or 775 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 1: end up thriving as a democracy. That looked familiar to us, 776 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 1: but it was all What was great about different seasons 777 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 1: of Walking Dead is these different communities would showcase a 778 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:30,759 Speaker 1: certain different way, different political structures that these communities would 779 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 1: create in its sort of rost form. So I found it, 780 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 1: as you know, I like to call myself a political anthropologist. 781 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,440 Speaker 1: I think when you think about if that were a 782 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 1: if that actually were something you could major in political anthropology, 783 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:50,399 Speaker 1: I might make The Walking Dead mandatory viewing for those 784 00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: trying to major in this idea of political anthropology. So 785 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:58,840 Speaker 1: there it has it. My five Diplomat for all Mankind, 786 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 1: veep succession, and and those zombies. Look, my issue with 787 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 1: The Walking Dead usually were the zombies, Right, Every other 788 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,840 Speaker 1: part of the show was interesting, and then by the 789 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 1: you know, by season four or five, we're like, all right, 790 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:16,719 Speaker 1: what's what's the zombie scene going to be this week? Right? 791 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 1: That was always the Lafe and I think that that's 792 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,359 Speaker 1: probably why this show sort of hit a wall, if 793 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,799 Speaker 1: you will, right, you sort of got worn out by 794 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:29,480 Speaker 1: all the zombie by all the zombie stuff. But don't 795 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:33,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to undersell how smart of a show 796 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: Walking Dead was, particularly in those in those first eight 797 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 1: nine ten season. So there's my top five list for 798 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 1: the week. I hope you enjoyed it. So with that, 799 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:48,120 Speaker 1: let's move to some questions. Ask Chuck, all right, we're 800 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:49,919 Speaker 1: gonna try to I'm gonna try to get through four. 801 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 1: My son, ever the ever the what I would say 802 00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 1: a nice critic he thinks I don't answer enough questions. 803 00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:01,919 Speaker 1: He things two or three is not enough. I'm gonna 804 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: do four. But he's not wrong. I want to start 805 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 1: increasing my volume of questions that I answer, which means 806 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:09,919 Speaker 1: I got to keep my answers shorter. All right, here 807 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,320 Speaker 1: we go. First question Brian from Vero Beach, Dodgertown, Baby, 808 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 1: greetings from the Sunshine State. What do you make of 809 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 1: the reported plans to put President Trump on a dollar 810 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 1: coin next year or possibly construct an arc to Trump. 811 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 1: Supposedly both are to commemorate America's twenty fiftieth birthday when 812 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,439 Speaker 1: I first heard about them, I thought both were too 813 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: fantastical and way outside the boundaries of American tradition. But 814 00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 1: today Cruise are demolishing the facade of the East Wing 815 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,640 Speaker 1: to make room for the Trump Ballroom. So perhaps not. 816 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,520 Speaker 1: It seems like one would never go broke betting on 817 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,960 Speaker 1: Trump's narcissism. Someone who can watch rocket launches from my backyard. 818 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 1: I love the episode about Splace exploration. Thank you Brian 819 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:49,600 Speaker 1: from Vero Beach. Look, well, let me demystify the arc. Okay, 820 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 1: in fairness to the proponents of the arc, and I 821 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 1: know it's now being deemed the arc dat Trump. So 822 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,920 Speaker 1: the idea is this actually was proposed by this commission before 823 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,319 Speaker 1: Donald Trump took the oath the second time. You know, 824 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 1: there's been this two hundred and fiftieth Planning Commission for 825 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 1: quite some time. Multiple presidents have appointed members, I think, 826 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 1: to this committee, and this is a proposal that some 827 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,920 Speaker 1: people have loved and they figured Trump would like it. 828 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,560 Speaker 1: And it is not a crazy notion. You go to 829 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 1: other cities there are these arches. Basically, it's almost like 830 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 1: a like a gateway, a gate into the city. So 831 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,279 Speaker 1: the idea of this of this arc would be I 832 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 1: think it's for coming into Memorial Bridge between you know, 833 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,279 Speaker 1: Arlington Cemetery. It would be on your way to the 834 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,759 Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial and you'd have this grand arch and it 835 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 1: would be there to commemorate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. 836 00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 1: You know, that's you know, as a country, right and 837 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:54,840 Speaker 1: as states at certain significant anniversaries, you many a state, 838 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,760 Speaker 1: many a country has done these things to commemorate two hundred, 839 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:04,359 Speaker 1: two twenty five fifty things like that. So you know, 840 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:09,880 Speaker 1: the arc the arch idea of doing that to commemorate 841 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,240 Speaker 1: two hundred fifty, because this is something people have talked 842 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:16,400 Speaker 1: about before, and we've had other capital cities have arches, 843 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,840 Speaker 1: you know that essentially welcome you in as a gateway 844 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,360 Speaker 1: to the city. So as much as you know, sometimes 845 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,160 Speaker 1: I think everybody just because Trump proposed it doesn't mean 846 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,400 Speaker 1: it's a crazy Trump idea. This one emanated from the 847 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,600 Speaker 1: Commission itself, and this has been an idea that's percolated. Yes, 848 00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 1: it is gaudy enough and gold leafed enough to get 849 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:42,520 Speaker 1: Trump's attention, but now the coin, Okay, that is narcissism 850 00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 1: on another level. Now, we've done this temporary business before 851 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:50,279 Speaker 1: with Eisenhower. There was a quick commemoration of an Eisenhower coin. 852 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 1: I think that was what was done as a to 853 00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 1: mark in seventeen seventy six. I believe that was the 854 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,880 Speaker 1: choice of the bisentennial coin. But you know, we had this, 855 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,360 Speaker 1: you know, we've always had this law that says you 856 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:08,759 Speaker 1: don't put living people on on on stamps, coins, et cetera. Right, 857 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 1: you don't get a stamp until you die. That that's 858 00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 1: always been sort of that. So I think the coin, 859 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,040 Speaker 1: it sounds like they're gonna they're going to try to 860 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 1: make him a commemorative coin. Maybe the Franklin Mint will 861 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,399 Speaker 1: do it. There's so much garbage Trump stuff out there 862 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 1: as it is, it's it's sort of I think it 863 00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,160 Speaker 1: is unfortunate made anything that the that the US Treasury 864 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 1: does look like it's being part of the the Maga schlocky, 865 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, Franklin Mint garbage that gets gets marketed to people, 866 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 1: that has no value at all. My guess on this 867 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:52,720 Speaker 1: coin business and the the smarter way to get around 868 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 1: this would be putting out a presidential coin set and 869 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,240 Speaker 1: put all the president you know, give all the presidents 870 00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,680 Speaker 1: a coin, and you mint everybody a coin. If you 871 00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 1: want to do that, you know that would be to me, 872 00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:10,000 Speaker 1: the least of the bad ways to commemorate living people 873 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,200 Speaker 1: on coins, if you were really going to go down 874 00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:16,279 Speaker 1: this road, right, I will say this and every other 875 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,360 Speaker 1: the only places that have living people on their money 876 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 1: are usually dictatorships. I don't know why we would want 877 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:26,360 Speaker 1: to join the ranks of those countries, but I would 878 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 1: like I said, I'd separate out the arch from this 879 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 1: sort of this laundry list of narcissism charges on that 880 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,879 Speaker 1: one coin is fair game. His obsession with a ballroom, 881 00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,880 Speaker 1: to me, paving over the Rose Garden was just ridiculous. 882 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,239 Speaker 1: You could argue we could use that the White House 883 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,600 Speaker 1: needs a better ballroom. I'm not going to sit here 884 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 1: and say he's totally crazy about the notion of a ballroom. 885 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,640 Speaker 1: The problem is how he's gone, Like with a lot 886 00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,560 Speaker 1: of things, Donald Trump, he may be right about about 887 00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:04,480 Speaker 1: what about a result we should want, but his ideas 888 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 1: to get there are usually not the best ways to 889 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,759 Speaker 1: do it, and in this case, not going through the 890 00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:15,839 Speaker 1: White House Historical Association, not sort of making this. I mean, look, 891 00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,280 Speaker 1: Americans aren't going to be knee jerk against this stuff. 892 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,680 Speaker 1: If it feels like it's done for America. When it 893 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,680 Speaker 1: feels like it's being done for an individual, that's when 894 00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:29,440 Speaker 1: we recoil. And Trump has presented all of this through 895 00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,479 Speaker 1: the prism of his own personal narcissism. Rather look marking 896 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 1: the country's tent in fiftieth Look, I think there should 897 00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,200 Speaker 1: be some sort of marker in DC. I think the 898 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,520 Speaker 1: arches wouldn't be my first choice, but it's not the 899 00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 1: craziest idea. Right, This is America at two hundred and fifty. 900 00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 1: But it's sort of like with everything Trump does, how 901 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:54,720 Speaker 1: he goes about it is usually is usually what turns 902 00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,000 Speaker 1: people off. All right? Next question comes from Chase Little Rock, Arkansas. 903 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,120 Speaker 1: Let's go hogs. Hey, I really enjoyed your peace and 904 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,520 Speaker 1: the teapot Dome scandal. Speaking of corruption and scandal, I 905 00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 1: think Arkansas should just bite the bullet and make Bobby 906 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 1: Patrino the permanent head coach. After all, we went from 907 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,400 Speaker 1: losing to a group of five school like Memphis to 908 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,200 Speaker 1: taking the best team in the SEC, Texas A and 909 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 1: M down to the wire. All right, but you only 910 00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,120 Speaker 1: just covered you didn't beat them. But I take your point. 911 00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: Don't we all deserve it? Fifth or even six chance, 912 00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,720 Speaker 1: especially when it comes with winning. What say you make 913 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 1: the Hogs great again? I'll hang up and listen. You know, 914 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 1: it's funny about Patrino. I think he's got to start 915 00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:36,480 Speaker 1: winning number one too. If ore here's the here's the 916 00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:40,160 Speaker 1: only way. If I were an Arkansas donor, you know, 917 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 1: big donor, and I've been and I felt like I 918 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,600 Speaker 1: was let down before by Patrino, here's the reason to 919 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 1: hire him. He might be the best coast you can 920 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:54,560 Speaker 1: get on a bargain. Right who's going to hire him? 921 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,960 Speaker 1: In power? In the power for I don't think anybody 922 00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 1: serious but Arkansas right now, which means Arkansas is all 923 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 1: the leverage and if you can save money, but you 924 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:07,840 Speaker 1: might get a quality head coach, at least on the 925 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:13,000 Speaker 1: offensive side. But essentially he's on a short leash, like, look, 926 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 1: you don't get the ten year contract so that there's 927 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 1: some eighty million dollar buyout because sorry, buddy neck brace, 928 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 1: Bobby doesn't get that. That's about the only way, as 929 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:33,000 Speaker 1: a board of trustees person of how I could essentially 930 00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 1: swallow my morals and ethics that say, all right, we'll 931 00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 1: give him a six chance. But there's got to be 932 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 1: some upside for the university and for the donor community. 933 00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,919 Speaker 1: And the upside should be there's no buyout, one's transgression. 934 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,160 Speaker 1: You're out, and there's no eighty million dollar windfall, fifty 935 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:59,160 Speaker 1: million dollar windfall, whatever it is. So and look, if 936 00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,160 Speaker 1: you told me that that's I will tell you this. 937 01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,880 Speaker 1: If you're a Hogs fan, if if they go down, 938 01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 1: if they do go down the Patrino road, it means 939 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,760 Speaker 1: that they'd rather focus on basketball and baseball, and they're 940 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,800 Speaker 1: trying to do football on the cheap because Petrino is 941 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 1: probably the best coach you can get at a bargain price. 942 01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,840 Speaker 1: All right, I'll be curious what you think of that one, Chase. Thanks. 943 01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:26,440 Speaker 1: Next question comes from Josh B. He writes, do you 944 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,040 Speaker 1: think message or experienced background matters more? For example, could 945 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,080 Speaker 1: a Gavin Newsom with the right message play in the 946 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,080 Speaker 1: Midwest or South or will his coastal background drawn out 947 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:38,440 Speaker 1: that message? Thanks? So, I think what have we learned 948 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,720 Speaker 1: of the successful two term presidents? I do think message 949 01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 1: trumps everything. I think charisma Trump's everything you can overcome, 950 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, in theory, should a NEPO baby like George W. 951 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,360 Speaker 1: Bush been the obvious? You know? Answer? In two thousand. 952 01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:59,040 Speaker 1: Probably not, but he had his own way about him 953 01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,560 Speaker 1: that that work. He had a type of charisma, you know, 954 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:06,960 Speaker 1: Barack Hussein Obama on paper, a guy from Chicago is Chicago. 955 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,040 Speaker 1: The best place to run for national office from right, 956 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 1: is New York City for Donald Trump. So and I 957 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,160 Speaker 1: sit here and do I think a former mayor of 958 01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 1: San Francisco can carry the state of Michigan. No, right, 959 01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:22,280 Speaker 1: I don't. Do I think that a really good political 960 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:28,640 Speaker 1: athlete can overcome those things. The answers, yes, And so 961 01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:32,600 Speaker 1: I am. While I have like, I think there's you know, 962 01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:38,959 Speaker 1: there's so many pieces of Gavin Newsom's background that would 963 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 1: have been non starters in previous campaigns that I'd sometimes 964 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 1: fear I'm too dismissive of his chances because in some 965 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,720 Speaker 1: ways I'm holding him. I'm holding him to a criteria 966 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,200 Speaker 1: that mattered ten years ago, but it may not matter now, right, 967 01:01:56,040 --> 01:02:02,520 Speaker 1: And I also think that there is you know, the 968 01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:04,880 Speaker 1: Gaven Nusoms today is a lot different than the guy 969 01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:09,360 Speaker 1: who started issuing marriage licenses in San Francisco back in 970 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 1: the first decade of the twenty first century. You know, 971 01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,160 Speaker 1: it's funny. He's a fairly young guy for politics in 972 01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,480 Speaker 1: his late fifties, and it feels like he's been around forever, right, 973 01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:25,360 Speaker 1: because he kind of has. Right, He's basically been a 974 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:30,160 Speaker 1: major player in California park At politics for the entire 975 01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:38,160 Speaker 1: twenty first century. And so I think it's possible, but 976 01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:42,880 Speaker 1: you have to almost dominate the attention economy. I mean, 977 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,720 Speaker 1: I would go take a look at this crisses up 978 01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,160 Speaker 1: ed in the New York Times from a couple of 979 01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,920 Speaker 1: days ago that talked about that he thinks the next 980 01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:56,360 Speaker 1: successful Democrat will be successful essentially because they dominate the 981 01:02:56,400 --> 01:03:02,439 Speaker 1: attention economy. And I will say this, that's a skill 982 01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,520 Speaker 1: sket Gavin Newsom has that ten years ago wouldn't have 983 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,000 Speaker 1: been seen as an asset and today is seen as 984 01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,560 Speaker 1: an asset. R I don't want to sneak in one 985 01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:15,200 Speaker 1: more question here. This one comes from Chris k. Good 986 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,720 Speaker 1: morning from Greenville, South Carolina. My Hawkey's had a messy 987 01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:19,880 Speaker 1: win against Penn State, but hey, a win is a win. 988 01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,200 Speaker 1: I know. How about the fact that both Penn State, 989 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,440 Speaker 1: Florida State, Auburn, all three schools as of October twenty 990 01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:33,200 Speaker 1: second have no wins in their respective conferences. No winds 991 01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,960 Speaker 1: Penn State has not a single Big ten victory, Florida 992 01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 1: State not a single ACC victory, Auburn not a single 993 01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:43,200 Speaker 1: SEC victory. Anyway, But I digress back to Chris. I'm 994 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,520 Speaker 1: eagerly looking forward to your weekend review and what's to come, 995 01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,440 Speaker 1: and college football is tough weekend for Miami. But in 996 01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,640 Speaker 1: my opinion, this has been the most entertaining first half 997 01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 1: of college football in a long time. Question. My wife 998 01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,720 Speaker 1: is flying this weekend to visit family, and it's been 999 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 1: causing some stress and off the comments as she travels 1000 01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,800 Speaker 1: through Newark. Avoid Newark, You've got to try to avoid 1001 01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:03,320 Speaker 1: new work. Has privatizing air traffic controllers been discussed as 1002 01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,800 Speaker 1: an alternative to the current system. I understand that MESSI 1003 01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:07,960 Speaker 1: travel can lead to pressure to get Congress back to 1004 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 1: work and then the shutdown as a follow up. Is 1005 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: there a situation where both sides can say face and 1006 01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,040 Speaker 1: get back to business. Look, I do think we're there, 1007 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,400 Speaker 1: you know, I keep saying that that in some ways 1008 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,200 Speaker 1: there's acknowledgment. These healthcare subsidies need to be discussed. It's 1009 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:27,920 Speaker 1: more front and center now than that has been. You 1010 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 1: have Republicans ready to negotiate, but they can stick to 1011 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,880 Speaker 1: their guns saying open the government then will negotiate, and 1012 01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:36,880 Speaker 1: Democrats can say they've got what they want and then 1013 01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,920 Speaker 1: they can be I kind of you know, the Republicans 1014 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 1: in general are much better at figuring out how to 1015 01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,480 Speaker 1: take a small win and declare victory, you know, small 1016 01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:50,520 Speaker 1: progress and declare victory. Democrats sometimes get seventy five percent 1017 01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:53,640 Speaker 1: of what they want and then project as if they 1018 01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,040 Speaker 1: lost something, and you're like, no, you got you know. 1019 01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:58,960 Speaker 1: I remember during you know, the passage of Obamacare, because 1020 01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,360 Speaker 1: they didn't get the public ey option, they behaved as 1021 01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:05,840 Speaker 1: if they failed, and it's like, good grief, you didn't fail, 1022 01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:10,000 Speaker 1: you know. So it is so it is, you know. 1023 01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 1: I never, I never can underestimate the possibility that Democrats 1024 01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,680 Speaker 1: don't know how to, uh, how to take a small 1025 01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:22,919 Speaker 1: a small win and declare victory. But you're asking about 1026 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:27,760 Speaker 1: specific and air travel. Look, there's been talk of privatizing 1027 01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:37,920 Speaker 1: air traffic controllers before, it's been talk of privatizing TSA before. Uh. 1028 01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:42,160 Speaker 1: I just think that, let's put it this way, privatizing 1029 01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:48,400 Speaker 1: prison guards hasn't been great for the prison system. And 1030 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,600 Speaker 1: I think because that experiment has really been more of 1031 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,680 Speaker 1: a failure than a success. I think there's going to 1032 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:56,960 Speaker 1: be a lot of hesitation. We already have a lot 1033 01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,880 Speaker 1: of trust issues, you know, putting that in the hands 1034 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:05,000 Speaker 1: of the private sector, and who would get it it is, 1035 01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, at this point, I think I want to 1036 01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:11,000 Speaker 1: hold government officials accountable, not some corporation that we don't 1037 01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:20,200 Speaker 1: necessarily have the ability to hold accountable immediately, right But 1038 01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:26,360 Speaker 1: Newark specifically is just prone to all sorts of problems. 1039 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:30,760 Speaker 1: The way they're set up works for air traffic controllers 1040 01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:32,920 Speaker 1: that's sort of separated from the rest of the system 1041 01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,400 Speaker 1: in the tri state region, and they've been trying to 1042 01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:38,400 Speaker 1: fix this, but they have a lot of sick outs, 1043 01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,240 Speaker 1: they have a lot Anyway, if it's at all possible 1044 01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:45,360 Speaker 1: to avoid Newark, I have just done everything. I've had 1045 01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:49,040 Speaker 1: multiple nightmares going through Newark in the past. I simply 1046 01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:52,160 Speaker 1: make that an airport I try to avoid. Sometimes you can't, 1047 01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, particularly if you're flying United overseas. Almost ninety 1048 01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:57,480 Speaker 1: percent of those flights M and eight out of Newark, 1049 01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,040 Speaker 1: and you're sort of stuck doing that. But if you're 1050 01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 1: traveling domestically, there's usually an alternative to new work uh, 1051 01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:10,800 Speaker 1: And I'd highly recommend it, but I I I think 1052 01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:15,280 Speaker 1: privatizing TSA security makes more sense than doing air traffic 1053 01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:19,760 Speaker 1: controllers in the moment, especially since ultimately the systems that 1054 01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:23,040 Speaker 1: are in place, you know, with air traffic controllers are 1055 01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:27,200 Speaker 1: going to be always, you know, implemented by the by 1056 01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:32,400 Speaker 1: the by the government. Where TSA, you know, different airport 1057 01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,560 Speaker 1: authorities do different things different security. So you know, if 1058 01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 1: you if you wanted to go down that road, I 1059 01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:41,600 Speaker 1: probably would start with TSA security first. I would not 1060 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,200 Speaker 1: do that with the air traffic controllers right away. Maybe 1061 01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,120 Speaker 1: you see how that goes for a while before you 1062 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:51,280 Speaker 1: think about that. All right, I'll sneak in one more question. 1063 01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 1: This comes from Judar Hey. When the story about the 1064 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,200 Speaker 1: swastika on the American flag broke, it was first reported 1065 01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,520 Speaker 1: by The Rooster, an independent Ohio journalists known for covering 1066 01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:01,640 Speaker 1: local politics. Larger out let's like Politico later around the story, 1067 01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,680 Speaker 1: citing quote independent sources, but without crediting him. Wow, what 1068 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,400 Speaker 1: a BS thing to do. Come on, Politico, be better. 1069 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,080 Speaker 1: What does this say about the state of local journalism? 1070 01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:13,200 Speaker 1: How can independent reporters get recognition for breaking big stories 1071 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,200 Speaker 1: in an era when we need more of them? Thanks 1072 01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:23,160 Speaker 1: shaming politica, right. You know, in the sports world, there 1073 01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:25,880 Speaker 1: was It was interesting during the early days of the 1074 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:29,120 Speaker 1: Athletic when they were not owned by The New York Times, 1075 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,800 Speaker 1: that they were their own up and coming enterprise. They 1076 01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:35,040 Speaker 1: were in between that barstool. There were all these up 1077 01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:38,840 Speaker 1: and coming independent sports outlets that were constantly breaking news 1078 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:42,360 Speaker 1: before ESPN reported it, and ESPN would do like sources 1079 01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:46,120 Speaker 1: or generic and there was just this massive shame campaign 1080 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,000 Speaker 1: and you know what ESPN started to do, and they've 1081 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:52,000 Speaker 1: done it a lot now I think they've overcorrected. You know, 1082 01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,719 Speaker 1: they'll report, you know, to me, you know, your report 1083 01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,439 Speaker 1: about a signing. At some point, it's just a signing. 1084 01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 1: And if you weren't first, you know, if you ain't first, 1085 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,400 Speaker 1: your last, so it doesn't or anymore. But you know, 1086 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,080 Speaker 1: there's there's sort of commodity news and unique news. Right. 1087 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,799 Speaker 1: There's news you've been that simply you are the first. 1088 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,479 Speaker 1: It's news everybody would be reporting. You just happen to 1089 01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:13,599 Speaker 1: get it first. Then there's like news you unearth and 1090 01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,080 Speaker 1: you force to get reported that maybe wasn't planning to 1091 01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:19,880 Speaker 1: be reported. Right, that's a that's a super scoop. Right. 1092 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,080 Speaker 1: This falls into that category. That's a that's a that's 1093 01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 1: a story when they win a handout, right a lot 1094 01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 1: of times these football and baseball and basketball free agent 1095 01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:32,120 Speaker 1: signings or handout. But the shame campaign worked. I mean, 1096 01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,599 Speaker 1: if you watch the ESPN ticker, they'll be like, you know, 1097 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,160 Speaker 1: so and so, you know, Kevin Durant sign an extension. 1098 01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:41,320 Speaker 1: You know, story first reported by Yahoo Sports, and they 1099 01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 1: now do that regularly, and so shame, shame, shame. You know. Look, 1100 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:51,200 Speaker 1: I'm you know, hopefully, and this is why I'd like 1101 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:53,200 Speaker 1: to figure out a way to create an entity that 1102 01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:56,799 Speaker 1: can sort of network all of these great independent startups 1103 01:09:56,840 --> 01:10:00,000 Speaker 1: together because I think, you know, if if we can 1104 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,519 Speaker 1: have a lot of these small local outlets have a 1105 01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,800 Speaker 1: sort of a national spine to feed off of as 1106 01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:11,800 Speaker 1: a resource, then you have you Suddenly you have people 1107 01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,240 Speaker 1: that can help make sure you're getting proper credit for 1108 01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:19,080 Speaker 1: your scoops. But the best way to do it and 1109 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 1: what they successful what Yahoo Sports, the Athletic barstool all 1110 01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:29,519 Speaker 1: successfully pulled off with ESPN and their ticker was shame 1111 01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:35,920 Speaker 1: and it worked. So come on, Politico, give the rooster 1112 01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 1: it's cock a doodle? Do? Will you give the rooster 1113 01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,960 Speaker 1: its rights to prompt to prants around on this scoop. Sorry, 1114 01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:47,200 Speaker 1: I was trying some bad dad humor there, so Jude, 1115 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,720 Speaker 1: don't don't hold that against me.
