Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jetty and Key Armstrong and Hetty.
Speaker 2: The NFL using high tech research to design helmets for
Speaker 2: each position. Helmets designed for where players line up.
Speaker 3: A quarterback and a linebacker are not necessarily playing the
Speaker 3: same sport on every play, and the frequency of their
Speaker 3: head impacts demonstrates.
Speaker 2: That researchers first analyzed game footage from some fifteen hundred
Speaker 2: on field concussions, who was involved, what position were they playing,
Speaker 2: then reconstructed each one, gathering data from those tests and
Speaker 2: sensors in the helmets to build a superior product.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I just don't quite understand why you wouldn't
Speaker 1: want the maximum protection helmet no matter what position you're in.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've noticed recently there are a handful of guys
Speaker 4: on the field that have kind of bigger, puffier looking
Speaker 4: helmets on. And I haven't heard about there being any
Speaker 4: downside to that design, right, Guys just think they look
Speaker 4: goofy or what because if there's no they do. If
Speaker 4: there's no downside's I realize I'm the punter and I
Speaker 4: get tackled once a year, but I might as well
Speaker 4: have the keep my brain from slashing around.
Speaker 1: Helmet kind of fond of my brain. Yeah, exactly, unless
Speaker 1: it's a different kind of helmet for repeated small impacts linemen,
Speaker 1: which almost never are going to get the big slam
Speaker 1: to the ground one hundred mile an hour right, right,
Speaker 1: is a different sort of thing than I don't know.
Speaker 4: Well, it's good they're they're moving forward though. It's great sport.
Speaker 4: America loves it. But the rates of the chronic u
Speaker 4: cte is terrible. It's it's nightmarish. So yeah, glad to
Speaker 4: see it. Speaking of the world of science, this is
Speaker 4: an emerging field in art law first Amendment. Something a
Speaker 4: synthetic media artist is appealing.
Speaker 1: Well, you can't just throw around phrases. I have no
Speaker 1: idea what they mean. It isn't quotes.
Speaker 4: What is that This guy creates art with ai synthetic
Speaker 4: media artist. Yeah, and actually we both have seen this
Speaker 4: piece of art.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what language this is.
Speaker 4: It might be French, Theatra, the opera special.
Speaker 1: The opera, theater spatial.
Speaker 4: It won a big like State Fair art contest or
Speaker 4: something like that, and then the guy revealed that it
Speaker 4: was AI creator.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, he won the contest.
Speaker 4: It's like an opera in a spaceport and you can
Speaker 4: see out into space. That rings a bell for anybody anyway.
Speaker 4: So the US Copyright Office denied him copyright registration, claiming that.
Speaker 1: He used machines.
Speaker 4: He didn't create it like an artist would, and I
Speaker 4: think that's going to get flipped that decision.
Speaker 1: It was creating using the AI tool mid journey.
Speaker 4: They rejected his application, stating that the work lacked sufficient
Speaker 4: human authorship as it was primarily generated by a I
Speaker 4: oh coming up, one of the godfathers of AI says,
Speaker 4: it's stumberding a cat.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it anyway. He dumber than a cat
Speaker 1: stumberting a cat. Okay, we'll see.
Speaker 4: So in his appeal, mister Allen, the artist argues that
Speaker 4: the decision was influenced by negative media attention public backlash,
Speaker 4: which led to bias. He asserts that the examiner of
Speaker 4: the Copyright Office failed to recognize the extensive human effort
Speaker 4: and careful direction he put into creating the image. Well, no,
Speaker 4: I don't doubt that which have been involved. Hang on
Speaker 4: now or don't hang on?
Speaker 1: Go ahead, and I'm just gonna see you have different categories.
Speaker 1: There's the I created it with my mind and the
Speaker 1: computer made it, or I did it with a brush
Speaker 1: and in paints.
Speaker 4: You know what, You're right, that's the simple wisdom of
Speaker 4: Jack Armstrong, folks, the homespun wisdom. Ah, Judy and I
Speaker 4: have frequent art galleries, and we fell in love with
Speaker 4: this one artist who does this very thing. She creates
Speaker 4: the art with artificial intelligence, and some of it is
Speaker 4: very clever and funny and thought provoking, like every picture
Speaker 4: tells a story. That sort of thing anyway, which is
Speaker 4: also a fine Rod Stewart effort from the seventies. So,
Speaker 4: but this dude created this image involving refining prompts through
Speaker 4: an iterative process that took over one hundred hours and
Speaker 4: six hundred prompts.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think he gets a copyright on that one hundred
Speaker 4: hours worth of work on a single image.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. But somebody will be able to
Speaker 1: do something very very similar with just a tiny tweak,
Speaker 1: won't they.
Speaker 4: I think you would need to know his first five
Speaker 4: and ninety nine prompts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll it'll be like the whole thing around music.
Speaker 1: I heard the Sam Smith song stay with Me on
Speaker 1: the radio the other day. Uh, the fact that he
Speaker 1: got sued successfully by Tom Petty fort back Down is nuts.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, nuts.
Speaker 4: I was in a store the other day, purveyor of
Speaker 4: fine sippables, I think, yeah. And I don't know what
Speaker 4: their playlist was, but if you know one of your
Speaker 4: satellite radio platforms has derivative pop with zero attempted originality, that's.
Speaker 1: What this was.
Speaker 4: I mean, every song was like from Cookie Cutter, predictable,
Speaker 4: the lyrics, the females sing, just all of it.
Speaker 1: It was sick and sure and that's without AI, right,
Speaker 1: So I don't understand how they'll come up with a
Speaker 1: ferentiation for a copyright purposes on that. But my son
Speaker 1: was messing around with photoshop. He wanted to get photoshop
Speaker 1: on his computer and learn about it, and so I
Speaker 1: did that. We got the free trial just in case
Speaker 1: he didn't like it. And he was doing all kinds
Speaker 1: of AI stuff on Photoshop, which I didn't even know
Speaker 1: was a thing. He would he would he would grab
Speaker 1: a picture of a valley from a Google image and
Speaker 1: then he'd say, you know, put a unicorn over there,
Speaker 1: and put a spaceship over there, and they'll make the
Speaker 1: spaceship bigger. No, make the spaceship red and bigger. Make
Speaker 1: the unicorn, you know, breathing fire or whatever, and it
Speaker 1: would it would make it all immediately, and you could
Speaker 1: tweak it a little bit here and there and everything
Speaker 1: like that. It was cool. But anybody can do it.
Speaker 1: I mean it takes zero skill.
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, yeah, what a wild time to be alive
Speaker 4: fire breathing unicorns hard.
Speaker 1: Yes on that by the way, interesting side note to
Speaker 1: you heard of them? Please? Is he every time he
Speaker 1: did it he got so anxious, he was miserable, and
Speaker 1: so he finally decided he couldn't do it and we
Speaker 1: deleted it from his computer. I mean he has anxiety
Speaker 1: problems anyway, but huh, using photoshop made his anxiety go
Speaker 1: through the roof. No idea? Why hum? Did he try
Speaker 1: to explain why? He doesn't know why? Okay? Interesting? Huh?
Speaker 4: So AI thinks sir, one of the AI Pioneers thinks
Speaker 4: AI is dumbred and a cat that after a quick
Speaker 4: word from our friends true Prize picks, I was busy
Speaker 4: and forgot to do picks for the Football Action this weekend,
Speaker 4: and I'm annoyed because it's fun. Prize Picks is the

Speaker 1: Run your game. But I was thinking if my twelve
Speaker 1: year old, having used the photoshop program for a total
Speaker 1: of ten minutes, could do some of the stuff that
Speaker 1: he did, I thought, how's any sort of graphic designer
Speaker 1: person ever gonna make a living ever again? In the
Speaker 1: history of the world. I don't know how you never
Speaker 1: make a dime.
Speaker 4: And I really like taking pictures, and I have a
Speaker 4: bunch of them on the wall and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: But how long is it going to be before people see,
Speaker 4: you know, the picture I'm so proud of, I mean,
Speaker 4: got the perfect shot at the perfect second, an eagle
Speaker 4: flying overhead or whatever, And they're like, eh, I'll just
Speaker 4: assume everything's ai.
Speaker 1: That's true. Why would it? Yeah, why would it strike
Speaker 1: you as worth staring at it? All? Right? Yeah? Yeah, huh.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll uh. I've always considered.
Speaker 4: Wildlife photography to be my equivalent of hunting, because I
Speaker 4: have no desire to kill anything. If you do, go ahead,
Speaker 4: I don't care. I'm not anti hunting at all, but
Speaker 4: I just I've never felt the draw. Really, maybe I'll
Speaker 4: go back to shooting animals. I mean because getting a
Speaker 4: picture of them isn't satisfying anymore.
Speaker 1: Because AI is not doing that at least correctly. So
Speaker 1: maybe I'll murder them. Yeah, I don't know. So Yan lecuon,
Speaker 1: you and some of your Haitian friends going a cat hunting?
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's uh.
Speaker 4: That's the misinformation and or disin information or mal information,
Speaker 4: which is the new one they've invented over there on
Speaker 4: the left where.
Speaker 1: They're trying to strike. Actually they're eating. They're eating of
Speaker 1: the people that live there.
Speaker 4: Does seem to be solid basis to believe the folks
Speaker 4: are snatching ducks and geese out of the park.
Speaker 1: Fine, yeah, I get woken up every night right now
Speaker 1: by the geese flying south.
Speaker 6: Ah.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Canada geese are a scourge. They are poop machines.
Speaker 4: They ruin golf courses.
Speaker 1: American geese's jobs, exactly the threat from the north.
Speaker 4: I call them, Where were we? Ah yon Lecoon? I
Speaker 4: hope I'm pronouncing mister Lecun's name correctly. He helped give
Speaker 4: birth to today's AI boom. He's one of the godfathers
Speaker 4: of AI. But he thinks many experts are exaggerating its
Speaker 4: power in peril, and he wants people to know it.
Speaker 4: Who's the old British chap won the Nobel Prize. Who
Speaker 4: who's really Jeff free Hinton, hasn't it?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, who's really leading the Hey robot overlords. They're going
Speaker 4: to drain your vital juices and take over humanaged.
Speaker 1: And so so what's his name from Google? And you
Speaker 1: know lots of people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, Lacun disagrees completely.
Speaker 1: I kind of hope he's right. There's a lot more
Speaker 1: people that On the other side of it.
Speaker 4: He says, you're gonna have to partner my French But
Speaker 4: that's complete bs. He actually sounds like a really charming
Speaker 4: and likable guy. He's won every computing award that's ever existed. Well,
Speaker 4: I'm going to scroll down to the part that's git.
Speaker 4: That's interesting. He got into a nasty argument with Elon
Speaker 4: Musk on x this spring or the nature of scientific research.
Speaker 4: You might have seen that, But he and his buddies,
Speaker 4: who he is very much in contact with and works with,
Speaker 4: still diverge over whether companies can be trusted with making
Speaker 4: sure that futures superhuman ais aren't used maliciously or developed
Speaker 4: malicious intent.
Speaker 1: On their own they will be, and they are.
Speaker 4: He says that the current AI systems, the large language
Speaker 4: model things, they have their own severe limitations, and we'll
Speaker 4: never get to artificial general intelligence. It's got to be
Speaker 4: approached completely differently. He says, it might get to be
Speaker 4: about as smart.
Speaker 1: As a cat. I'd be fine with me if he's right.
Speaker 1: I doubt that he is. There are a lot of
Speaker 1: people throwing many, many, many billions of dollars at this
Speaker 1: because they don't agree with him right.
Speaker 4: There's a huge amount of hype to get those dollars flowing.
Speaker 4: But those dollars are indeed flowing. Two more very quick
Speaker 4: notes on this. The felines, he says, have a mental
Speaker 4: model of the physical world. They have persistent memory, some
Speaker 4: reasoning ability and capacity for planning, and are also delicious
Speaker 4: of my right haitians, and none of these qualities are
Speaker 4: present in today's frontier AIS. Then the final note, I
Speaker 4: want to say about this guy because he is what
Speaker 4: I want very much to be.
Speaker 1: Not a computer genius.
Speaker 4: Lord knows that ain't happening, But a guy who's worked
Speaker 4: with him since nineteen eighty six and disagrees with him
Speaker 4: said he is stubborn.
Speaker 1: In a good way.
Speaker 4: He is always willing to listen to others' views, but
Speaker 4: he is confident in his I.
Speaker 1: Hope he's right. That'd be awesome. I'm rooting for him
Speaker 1: being right. I doubt that he is, and my going
Speaker 1: the other direction of like not understanding at all what
Speaker 1: the Internet was going to do to the world, or
Speaker 1: even texting or smartphones right turned everything upside down. Jeez,
Speaker 1: all right, be terrified of cats. That's fine. I hope
Speaker 1: that guy's right. Stay with us.
Speaker 7: Riverside County Sheriff's office says they stopped a black SUV
Speaker 7: outside a rally for former President Trump in southern California.
Speaker 7: Driver was found to be illegally in possession of two
Speaker 7: guys and a high capacity magazine. Authority has identified that
Speaker 7: driver as forty nine year old VEM. Miller, a Las
Speaker 7: Vegas resident. They took him into custody Riverside County Sheriff
Speaker 7: Chad Bianco.
Speaker 6: The deputy noticed that the interior of the vehicle was
Speaker 6: in quite disarray. The vehicle had a an obviously fake
Speaker 6: license plate, and that prompted further investigation from our deputy.
Speaker 1: So the interestingman, you get pulled over for being a slob.
Speaker 4: Hey, I throw the the McDonald's bags in the back
Speaker 4: and clean them out and out again.
Speaker 1: So boy, I'm not that way my kids there where.
Speaker 1: I'm so big on this. Every time we get out
Speaker 1: of the car, all the trash goes with us, every
Speaker 1: single time. Excellent policy. But so this guy gets stopped
Speaker 1: on the way into the Coachella thing where Trump was
Speaker 1: speaking and all the stuff you just heard there, and
Speaker 1: he's all kinds of not Jason Bourne brilliant. I mean,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a driver's license with him, he's got
Speaker 1: all kinds of obviously fake stuff and guns that aren't
Speaker 1: registered and expired tags. I mean, just like nineteen different
Speaker 1: reasons you're not going to get in there. The shaff
Speaker 1: One of the reasons this made so much news is
Speaker 1: the sheriff all day yesterday was saying, I consider this
Speaker 1: a third assassination attempt. The FBI is saying we don't
Speaker 1: think it's assassination attempt. And today I heard a Trump
Speaker 1: spokesman say we're not considering this an assassination attempt. Wow,
Speaker 1: Trump person. And they got every reason to build it up.
Speaker 4: So this was just a loser passing through town and
Speaker 4: the guy's out on five thousand dollars bond or bail
Speaker 4: or wherever you go, and which we got a number
Speaker 4: of text people say, can you believe they let another
Speaker 4: assassin out on He has been interviewed and I've seen
Speaker 4: it saying I'm one hundred percent of Trump supporter.
Speaker 1: You can't find a bigger Trump supporter than I am.
Speaker 1: And apparently they've looked into his background and he determined
Speaker 1: that's true. Oh so he's just passing through. He is
Speaker 1: a I'm a Trump supporter because I believe Venezuelan Muslim,
Speaker 1: Russian something or others are trying to take over the country.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is going to let him. But he's all
Speaker 1: kinds of like, you know, armed to the teeth because
Speaker 1: we're about to lose our democracy and everything like that.
Speaker 1: Oh but that's why he's on Trump's side. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: So he might be a danger to society or a
Speaker 1: little off his rocker, but he is not there to
Speaker 1: kill her. Danger to Trump? Yeah, yeah, okay. Interesting. A
Speaker 1: couple of texts we got tangentially related to the presidential election.
Speaker 1: As we have been saying, Kamala Harris, it seems like
Speaker 1: maybe her closing argument is going to be Trump's got
Speaker 1: dementia and needs to release his medical records. She is
Speaker 1: big on that at her rallies over the weekend. She
Speaker 1: released her medical records on Friday. She's fine, she's fifty
Speaker 1: nine years old, and she's going after Trump. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a very good closing argument.
Speaker 1: But anyway, we got a couple of texts. The only
Speaker 1: test I want to see Kamala take as a breathalyzer.
Speaker 1: And also Trump should take a releases medical records if
Speaker 1: she'll take an IQ test. Okay, that's not helpful. Okay,
Speaker 1: another different tomy that I can fit into the final minute.
Speaker 4: The setting guy is seen now and he released to
Speaker 4: his records and the doctor said, yeah, he's fine.
Speaker 1: So come on, had those hurricanes anytime you saw a
Speaker 1: story about the hurricanes, they always mentioned climate change, any
Speaker 1: mainstream media story all the time. Saw some more articles
Speaker 1: over the weekend proving that nothing has changed for hurricane wise.
Speaker 1: There's no way you can look at a chart of
Speaker 1: hurricanes over the last however many years and determine that
Speaker 1: there are more now or they're worse. It's just not true.
Speaker 1: And learned this nugget that I'd forgotten. The Miami Hurricanes
Speaker 1: football team, which is ranked fourth in the country or
Speaker 1: something like that. They were named that in nineteen twenty
Speaker 1: after the biggest hurricane that ever hit the state. Wow,
Speaker 1: And why do you explain that particular hurricane or lots
Speaker 1: of hurricanes they've had over the last one hundred years
Speaker 1: that were stronger than weaker, than stronger than weaker.
Speaker 4: And nobody has found that name triggering for a century. Either,
Speaker 4: it's fine, what happens?
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getdy Live, go over to Tim Walls. Okay,
Speaker 1: something that's keep me a glove apupp it.
Speaker 3: This is right in my wheelhouse, in my glovebox. I
Speaker 3: got hot hands napkins from Ronza, and gotta have tombs
Speaker 3: in case I eat something spicy like tomato.
Speaker 1: If you say so, sell me some white moss. It's sorry,
Speaker 1: not up there. So that's from the open of Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Live, in which they the Harris people were playing
Speaker 1: family feud against the Trump people, and it was pretty
Speaker 1: dang funny, it was, and not flattering to either side,
Speaker 1: which is the way that sort of satirical political comedy
Speaker 1: should be. Yes, indeed, and you used to be and
Speaker 1: maybe again, I don't know. Anyway, Here's just when Trump
Speaker 1: was asked, the question was, uh, name something you find
Speaker 1: in your glove compartment? All right, President Trump.
Speaker 8: What you got? Well, Steve, I've never ridden in front
Speaker 8: seat of cars, so this question is very unfair. So
Speaker 8: to answer this, I'm gonna do one of my signature weaves.
Speaker 1: Right, It's called the weave where I say lots.
Speaker 8: Of different things, but it all comes together so beautifully,
Speaker 8: like an episode of Seinfeld Seinfeld. You know Jerry was
Speaker 8: always wearing mom jeans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bad jeans.
Speaker 8: Just like the immigrants who are ruining this country.
Speaker 1: They're eating the pets, they're eating mood dang.
Speaker 8: But it's so so we are getting an assets kid.
Speaker 8: I mean you look at Korea, you look at Japan, America,
Speaker 8: it's not even include.
Speaker 1: There's no room. So it's like glunk compartment, right, there's
Speaker 1: no room.
Speaker 8: You see what I did this stear.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know exactly what you did.
Speaker 5: Tell me. Dementia eating the pets, they're eating mood dang,
Speaker 5: which I did. Remember that's the baby hippo that everybody
Speaker 5: was oh oh oh.
Speaker 1: I didn't catch that reference. No, I didn't get it.
Speaker 1: Henry laughed really hard. By twelve year old. I said,
Speaker 1: what he said, that's that hippo, that cute little hippop
Speaker 1: Pigmy hippo America fellon. They're reading the pets, they're eating mood. Dang,
Speaker 1: that's funny. So watching the talk shows yesterday, like three
Speaker 1: or four major polls came out over the weekend in
Speaker 1: New York Times, your NBC or CBS, you're Wall Street General,
Speaker 1: all these big poles came out. They all are in
Speaker 1: agreement that the race is incredibly tight. And it wasn't
Speaker 1: like a month ago Kamala had opened up a little
Speaker 1: bit of a lead. All that has gone away. Are
Speaker 1: we talking national polls or swing state all of them? Okay,
Speaker 1: so any we literally just accidentally reenacted what poles all
Speaker 1: of them? And I said, okay, wow, but uh yeah,
Speaker 1: So nationally and in the battleground states are all back
Speaker 1: to tide. So there's a couple interesting things about that.
Speaker 1: And this has got to be why the Democrats behind
Speaker 1: the scenes are really frightened, because she had the greatest rollout,
Speaker 1: all the combination of things, the not having to go
Speaker 1: through a primary where you get torn down. The one
Speaker 1: hundred percent media is behind you. The just everything on
Speaker 1: your side, and she got a couple of points, and
Speaker 1: a dissipated has got to I mean, because it's not
Speaker 1: going to get better from here, right, There's zero chance
Speaker 1: it gets better from here. Right.
Speaker 4: You're running against such a known quantity. It's not like
Speaker 4: they're going to come out with some you know, October
Speaker 4: surprise that says Trump is an ego maniac who's had
Speaker 4: a handful of wives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or hit on women or the name or name
Speaker 1: something that anybody'll be surprised by. So, yeah, it's only
Speaker 1: going to get worse from there. So I thought that
Speaker 1: was damned interesting. One more thing about the polls after
Speaker 1: I read this, Vice President Kamala Harris. This is from
Speaker 1: the New York Times, particular aspect about Hispanic voting. Vice
Speaker 1: President Kamala Harris's support among Hispanic voters is in dangerously
Speaker 1: low territory for Democrats, according to the New New York
Speaker 1: Times poll, While her rival, former President Donald J. Trump
Speaker 1: has maintained his strength with the fast growing group poised
Speaker 1: to play a key role in deciding control of the
Speaker 1: White House, Kamala's underperforming the last three Democratic candidates for
Speaker 1: the White House on a slate of top issues including
Speaker 1: the economy, immigration, in crime. So she's way under performing
Speaker 1: with Hispanics previous Democrats and also on the economy, immigration,
Speaker 1: and crime. So a couple of things on that. One
Speaker 1: the biggest knock on Trump through the twenty sixteen election
Speaker 1: in a lot of the twenty twenty election was he's
Speaker 1: a racist, particularly against brown people, right, And he's doing
Speaker 1: better than any Republican has ever done, and she's doing
Speaker 1: worse than any Democrats. We're done. How is that not
Speaker 1: more interesting to people? It's inconvenient? The murder that is fascinating, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 4: I wonder if and I hate to even generalize about
Speaker 4: why this is happening, because then I have to generalize
Speaker 4: about Hispanic people or black people or whatever. And that's
Speaker 4: kind of the point of this show is that that's
Speaker 4: not a good idea. The real white privileges. We get
Speaker 4: to think for ourselves and vote however the hell we want.
Speaker 4: Anyway to suggests you do the same. But if I
Speaker 4: was going to generalize or guess, is it that.
Speaker 1: She is the.
Speaker 4: At least middle class, if not comfortably middle class, daughter
Speaker 4: of two Marxist professors who spent her teenage years in Montreal,
Speaker 4: you go where your parents take you. I don't falter
Speaker 4: for that. Really, you're trying to make a big deal
Speaker 4: of it exactly. Well, did you read the Washington Post
Speaker 4: story about that. I read something about that that there's
Speaker 4: like four words of her entire time in Montreal in
Speaker 4: her autobiography.
Speaker 1: That's the interesting thing. Yes, it is she's trying to
Speaker 1: hide is that she never talks about and it was
Speaker 1: all of high school plus a year. It's not like
Speaker 1: those are minor years of your life in terms of
Speaker 1: shaping you. And she had like a paragraph about it
Speaker 1: in her book about her life, and the Washington Post
Speaker 1: contacted her and had questions about it, and they didn't
Speaker 1: want to talk to them. She wouldn't talk to the
Speaker 1: Washington Post about her MONTREALI years. So I do falter
Speaker 1: for the fact that she's hiding right a chunk of
Speaker 1: her life. There's obviously a reason for that. It doesn't
Speaker 1: fit her personal narrative. But I wonder if the reason
Speaker 1: that she's, you know, fallen so flat with some of
Speaker 1: those ethnic groups is that she's trying to pretend to
Speaker 1: be straight. She's inauthentic. Well, that that might be with
Speaker 1: the black consulting, I feel really uncomfortable even trying to guess.
Speaker 1: I mean, why would I guess? No? But with the
Speaker 1: Hispanic vote, I think it's Hispanics tend to be conservative,
Speaker 1: and all of this crap about pronouns and transition, this
Speaker 1: and that and all.
Speaker 5: Those different things.
Speaker 1: It's spending. Crowd isn't into that, right right, yep.
Speaker 4: They hate the complete lefty neo Marxist woke stuff, even
Speaker 4: if they don't recognize that as neo Marxism, they just
Speaker 4: don't like it.
Speaker 1: But on the polling in general, I was thinking yesterday,
Speaker 1: this is what I'm going to say on election morning.
Speaker 1: I think, unless something changes, this is probably what I'm
Speaker 1: going to say in election morning, which is three weeks
Speaker 1: from tomorrow. Nobody has any idea who's going to win.
Speaker 1: Because there's the biggest question hanging out there is are
Speaker 1: the models they're using for polling correct in that is
Speaker 1: everything the same as it was the last two cycles,
Speaker 1: because they're using that same model from sixteen to twenty,
Speaker 1: Who will actually turn out? Who's actually going to turn
Speaker 1: out the way that they try to get voters and
Speaker 1: everything like that. If those are if nothing's changed, Trump
Speaker 1: is absolutely going to win absolut freaking lutely. He outperforms
Speaker 1: the polls by quite a bit, and he's he's winning
Speaker 1: just straight up right now, most likely in the way
Speaker 1: he outperforms the polls, He's easily going to win. The
Speaker 1: only question is, and again, nobody knows this, and anybody
Speaker 1: who claims they don't is really full of I mean,
Speaker 1: do is full of crape. Nobody knows if it's if
Speaker 1: everything is changed, Trump could be he could be polling
Speaker 1: better than his actual performance. Now, I mean, you don't know.
Speaker 1: Things can change a lot in eight years, right, So
Speaker 1: it's all about whether or not the polling models are
Speaker 1: right or not. But if they're right, he's absolutely going
Speaker 1: to win. There's some people arguing out there that things
Speaker 1: have flipped the way it used to be for Democrats,
Speaker 1: that when you see a big number nationally, it's because
Speaker 1: there's so many California voters. Yes, well, that doesn't do
Speaker 1: you any good, because only you get the same number
Speaker 1: of electoral votes, whether you win all of them, are
Speaker 1: fifty one percent of them.
Speaker 4: Then add in New York and Massachusetts and your other
Speaker 4: populous Eastern states.
Speaker 1: But there are a number of people arguing, including Nate
Speaker 1: ConA The New York Times and Old Nate Silver, the
Speaker 1: two Nates that Trump is now kind of in that category.
Speaker 1: He's dominating so much in places like Florida, for instance,
Speaker 1: that that is exaggerating that number. And the same thing
Speaker 1: applies that even if you get one hundred percent of
Speaker 1: the Republicans in Florida doesn't change the number of electoral
Speaker 1: votes you.
Speaker 4: Get, right, which is why please swing state poles.
Speaker 1: As states are getting insive, redder and bluer. It's working
Speaker 1: both ways. You know, you get all of the red
Speaker 1: votes in the red states. But right so, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's all about whether the polling models are right or not.
Speaker 1: But if they're if they are correct the way they
Speaker 1: have been, Trump's as a freaking colutely gonna win and
Speaker 1: it's gonna be so fun to watch.
Speaker 4: On a slightly different topic, headline a story that has
Speaker 4: gratified my soul. Again, we're not winning or just at
Speaker 4: the end of the beginning where we realize we're in
Speaker 4: a fight more and more people against the neo Marxists.
Speaker 4: Transgender sports is a sleeper issue. You in a number
Speaker 4: of very very close Senate races. Speaking of Hispanic vote,
Speaker 4: and black voting.
Speaker 1: Exactly how many male black voters like the idea of
Speaker 1: dudes participating in girls' sports? Right? Right? Is what a
Speaker 1: crazy notion?
Speaker 4: Or Dad's there, They're little boy being talked into becoming
Speaker 4: a little girl. Anyway, you know, I think the editorial
Speaker 4: board of the Journal made a good point that every
Speaker 4: election issue you have, or every election rather, you have
Speaker 4: issues that are predictable. Abortion, in the economy, it's just immigration.
Speaker 4: But then there are also some that surprised the political class.
Speaker 4: And this year one sleeper issue is progressive transgender coercion,
Speaker 4: as they put it, which is playing against Democrats and
Speaker 4: races across the country. And you know what's kind of
Speaker 4: a tangent to this is, for instance, Shared Brown is
Speaker 4: running in Ohio and there's an ad running against him
Speaker 4: in which a narrator says, mister Brown is too liberal
Speaker 4: for Ohio. He voted to let trendsgender by a logical
Speaker 4: men participate in women's sports, and one of the big
Speaker 4: news stations fact checked it and declared it false, even though,
Speaker 4: as the editorial board points out, it's completely true.
Speaker 1: And they really torture the argument.
Speaker 4: It has to do with funding for schools and you
Speaker 4: can't have funding if you do this, And they said, well,
Speaker 4: he voted against a funding bill.
Speaker 1: Not transgender anyway. Tortured logic.
Speaker 4: But they go into several different races in several different
Speaker 4: states Wisconsin, Montana, and the poll numbers are terrible for transgender,
Speaker 4: for men competing in women's sports. And it's funny they
Speaker 4: use the term declared male at birth. No, you're either
Speaker 4: male or female. You can declare me a wombat. I'm
Speaker 4: still a male human being. Declaring got nothing to do
Speaker 4: with it. I declare Mars a sack of groceries. No,
Speaker 4: it's still the planet Mars, or was I. Last year,
Speaker 4: sixty nine percent of Americans told Gallup that quote, transgender
Speaker 4: athletes should only be allowed to compete on sports teams
Speaker 4: that confirm with their birth gender. Again, don't even use
Speaker 4: the term birth gender, because that they're pulling you into it.
Speaker 4: It's not bigotry for most Americans. It's a matter of fairness,
Speaker 4: Title nine, et cetera. Not long ago, most Democrats believed
Speaker 4: in that principle, But these days, the hard edge of
Speaker 4: the transgender movement has dictated that its view of gender
Speaker 4: must be imposed nationwide. Senate Democrats have towed that line.
Speaker 1: So it's so easy to explain this, As the New
Speaker 1: York Times said, the Republicans are going to take back
Speaker 1: the Senate. They just splait out stated that last week.
Speaker 1: Republicans already have the House and are probably going to
Speaker 1: keep it, and then Trump's going to Trump's likely to win,
Speaker 1: So they're going to have all three branches and you know,
Speaker 1: the spring everything, and they've got a governor.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Right, But it'd be so easy to explain it. All
Speaker 1: this crazy crap most people don't like. It's not hard
Speaker 1: to explain. Yes, people don't like open porters, they don't
Speaker 1: like all this pronoun stuff. Then it's not difficult. It's nice.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a political science major, like
Speaker 1: to really dig into the numbers to figure this out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all this crazy stuff you're pushing in the mainstream media,
Speaker 1: most people think that's nuts.
Speaker 4: And if Trump wasn't so disliked, if it was a
Speaker 4: fairly likable average Republican, they would win forty three states.
Speaker 1: Right, and if Kamala Harris wins, it's the guy he
Speaker 1: encouraged people to storm the Capitol. He watched and was
Speaker 1: happy about it. Yeah the end. Yeah, so either way.
Speaker 1: It's pretty easy to explain. The strange time. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna win. Willing to bet on it? No, God,
Speaker 1: anybody who would bet based on this polling is be crazy, right,
Speaker 1: that's uh we we this is not for now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh that's it. I got confused, right right.
Speaker 4: Hanson filling in for Michaelangelo is sending us mixed signals
Speaker 4: through our it's it's mixed signals Michael through our ears.
Speaker 4: Do we know where he went? Did he say where
Speaker 4: he went?
Speaker 1: No? No, No, he's a famous celebrity. You can't say that.
Speaker 1: Do you think Michael Angel anniversary trip? He and his
Speaker 1: wife are four year anniversary and they're doing something. My god,
Speaker 1: it's four furry convention. No he isn't, Hanson. I think
Speaker 1: he's in Fresno. Doesn't he go to Fresno? There a
Speaker 1: lot of the Paris, of the planes, exactly of the planes.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to break all right, more of
Speaker 1: the ways stay here. I like that music, Hansen, whatever
Speaker 1: it is, that's kirvy. I don't know much about this.
Speaker 1: One hundred troops were sending to Israel and new equipment
Speaker 1: for shooting down missiles. I have to up on that I.
Speaker 4: Think it's probably closely related those two things. I'll bet
Speaker 4: they help run and trust.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I assume that, But why now?
Speaker 4: And I always assume we have troops and spooks and
Speaker 4: trainers and oh yeah, military folks in Israel.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I mentioned this like practically every day. But
Speaker 1: I'm still reading the David Sanger book New Cold Wars
Speaker 1: and talking about early in the war in Ukraine, where
Speaker 1: we're trying to make it so clear that the United
Speaker 1: States isn't involved. You're not a war with US, You're
Speaker 1: a war with NATO or Ukraine or whatever. You're not
Speaker 1: a war with NATO, You're not worth with the United States. Anyway.
Speaker 1: We got some of our top people meeting on the border,
Speaker 1: like standing on the other side of the border in Poland,
Speaker 1: so we can talk to Ukrainian leaders and tell them
Speaker 1: what they need to do, but won't step foot across
Speaker 1: the border. What Ukraine thought was hilarious, but they made
Speaker 1: it clear that Joe Biden says, absolutely no, we can't
Speaker 1: be seen being involved in any way. Wow. They actually
Speaker 1: meet on the border so they can tell them, Look,
Speaker 1: this is all the information we've got. You didn't hear
Speaker 1: from us. Wow.
Speaker 4: Nuts so the media wouldn't wed its pants about boots
Speaker 4: on the ground. Although I suppose, you know, it's a
Speaker 4: legitimate concern, I shouldn't have said with our pants. I
Speaker 4: just like I say, we have special forces all over
Speaker 4: the world in incredibly dangerous places right now. In fact,
Speaker 4: Next Hour got a feature ed on what's going on
Speaker 4: in Africa?
Speaker 1: What's up with Africa?
Speaker 4: If you don't get Next Hour, grab it via podcasts,
Speaker 4: subscribe Armstrong and Getty on demand. But anyway, so I
Speaker 4: don't I just if they're infantrymen sent to fight, that's
Speaker 4: boots on the ground. Some general meeting on strategy in
Speaker 4: some town I've never heard of, you know, one hundred
Speaker 4: miles outside of Kiev.
Speaker 1: Not that worried about it. No, and no normal person
Speaker 1: being we shouldn't equivocate the two.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 1: And one of the things was so we have so
Speaker 1: much more capability than I hope anybody else in the world,
Speaker 1: certainly than Ukraine did to just bring in all kinds
Speaker 1: of information from satellites and hacking into things and all
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. Anyway, we're helping out Ukraine there
Speaker 1: in the beginning, and trying to hint like they would
Speaker 1: hint at things. We can't say where, but it might
Speaker 1: be a good idea if a place by a river
Speaker 1: got a little more scrutiny. I mean, it's just dump heap.
Speaker 1: I know, it's just dumb that we play this game.
Speaker 1: But anyway, at one point one of the Ukraine people said,
Speaker 1: why don't you just join our side? Why don't you
Speaker 1: just fight on our side? Russia is an evil country,
Speaker 1: just like you know, what's with all this kind of
Speaker 1: happen us A little bit hinting whatever. I mean, you
Speaker 1: have the ability to stop this. Why don't you just
Speaker 1: stop it? It would be very frustrated. Sure, but the
Speaker 1: whole chapter about modern warfare was so fascinating to me.
Speaker 1: So I like the Twitter feed. We mentioned a lot
Speaker 1: the open source intelligence. There is so much stuff floating
Speaker 1: around in the world that anybody can grab, but you
Speaker 1: have to be smart enough to know which stuff to
Speaker 1: grab and how to put it together. And we're better
Speaker 1: at that than anybody else in the world. Interesting. Yeah, So,
Speaker 1: in addition to.
Speaker 4: The African thing, next Hour one final kicking of CBS
Speaker 4: News for the recent politically correct bias, woke garbage and
Speaker 4: the incredible, incredible hypocrisy of Gavin Newsom outlawing legacy admissions
Speaker 4: to colleges.
Speaker 1: They were armstrong and getty
