1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Before we get to three. The stupidest things ever said.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 2: This is.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Could qualify if he had said it rather than posting it,

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: So this could fit. So last night, a judge says, yeah,

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: Donald Trump could send the National Guard out in Los

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: Angeles to protect federal buildings, but apparently also said he

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: doesn't have unlimited ability to do that. So Gavin Newsom

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: has jumped on that with this statement, the court rightly

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: rejected Trump's claim that he can do whatever he wants

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: with the National Guard and not have to explain himself

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: to a court.

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: We will continue to take on the president.

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: So he lost, but he's struggling on a post to

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: try to make it sound like he won, right, which

15
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: is pretty funny, you know what. I appreciate the effort.

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: It's plucky, you know what. It's ridiculous, but it's pretty clever.

17
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: Just some spirit that's great. So yeah, it occurs to

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: me the bad take of the Week could be a

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: new feature at Going Forward and the Armstrong He getdy

20
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: sh I like the idea. We have three candidates today,

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: Chuck Todd of Meet the Press fame who explained America

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: to Washington and Washington America, Oh my god, every time

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: I hear that phrase, I want to vomit. An anonymous

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: Instagram woman who has clawed her way up to contend

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: with celebrities due to the stupidity of her take, and

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: then really one of the all time greats in this category,

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: Whoopee Goldberg, with a truly profoundly stupid take, And I

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: like how these are all so different. Yes, I think

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: like semi consequential from a media standpoint, probably nutpicking, but

30
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: still hilarious and amazing, and then means something is important

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: but dumb. Yeah, it's It's a lot like the Westminster

32
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: Dog Show. How do you judge the Schnauzer against the

33
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: Irish wolf?

34
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: Found?

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: It is a task. It's very much like the wen

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: Sminster Show. I am wearing a short skirt, a long

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: skirt down below the knees, with sensible shoes and hose,

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: so I can jog along next to these.

39
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: Clips trotting along.

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: All right, let's begin with the Caesar haircutted just so

41
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: full of himself it hurts Chuck Todd for the stupidest

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: take of the week.

43
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: I will go to my grave believing that the debate

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: was intentional. Good for that, I neda done and general

45
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 3: Maley Dellan will deny it till they're blowing the faith.

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: They knew when the nomination was going to be and

47
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 3: they knew they needed to deal with this with an

48
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: opportunity to make a change if it was necessary.

49
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: Okay, So Biden's inner circle intentionally trotted him out to

50
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: make a fool of himself in the debate to get

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: rid of him, even though they were, according to Chuck

52
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: Todd's Jake Tapper's book, and everyone else, lying to everyone,

53
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: including good friends, about the president's mental abilities as they

54
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: desperately clung to power, knowing that even Kamala Harris would

55
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: heave them all out on their ears.

56
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: So they intentionally exploded. That's a dumb take.

57
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: I yeah, I find that really hard to believe. And

58
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: that's Chuck Todd. He's on some sort of podcast with

59
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: uh and his name flits out of my head. The

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: guy who wrote this down that we tend to like,

61
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,279
Speaker 1: Mark Lebovitch, Mark Lepovich, mark Levich.

62
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: Is not in the long seeing yep, yep. So he agrees.

63
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: And I mean, those guys know Washington DC insider stuff

64
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: better than you know practically anybody. It just it just

65
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like it fits with the rest of

66
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: the cover up. No, yeah, eah, just clank all right.

67
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: Intrant number two, anonymous Instagram woman.

68
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: This is twenty one.

69
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 4: Michael, who voted for Trump and all these moments I

70
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: want the immigrants, Khan. They literally go on vacation to Mexico,

71
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: gang gun, they go take a break from their reality

72
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 4: and our reality and our land where we struggled for

73
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: a better future. And nobody calls zip aliens or terrorists

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 4: when they're on our land, right, we welcome them with

75
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 4: open arm. Let them explore our land peacefully. They enjoy

76
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 4: our beaches, our foods, our traditions, videotape everything that goes

77
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: on in our communities in our country, like we're exotic

78
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: animals to them. And yet where terrists aliens, criminal for

79
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 4: living on stolen land.

80
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: So when you go to Mexico to visit on vacation,

81
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 1: nobody's calling you an illegal alien. Right.

82
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: Wow? How old was she was? She eight?

83
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: Because if she's eight, I'll give her a pass. If

84
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: she's older than eight, I won't. And then just when

85
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: you think, wow, this is a really strong entry, she

86
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: just bam finishes with the whole stolen land Canard that's

87
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: a pretty strong offering there, you m efforts. Nobody calls

88
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: you aliens when you're on the beach at Cancun. No,

89
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: you're you're literally tourists. Is why you haven't established them.

90
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: It's not even worth arguing about. That is a dumb take,

91
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: really dumb. And are you willing to give the land

92
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: back to the Mayans and the Aztecs that the Spanish stole?

93
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

94
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: I like that idiotic argument we were talking about yesterday

95
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: on the show. Hey, look at all the cities in

96
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: California that had Spanish names.

97
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: It's proof that stole the land.

98
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, because a bunch of lights, Bisku and Spaniards are

99
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: the native peoples of Mexico?

100
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: Are they the hell?

101
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: Well, if you fall for that argument, well you haven't

102
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: studied history or you just dumb. All right, but those

103
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,119
Speaker 1: two entrant strong, they're up against again a legend Wollop

104
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: be Goldberg.

105
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 5: Let's just remember too, the Iranians literally throw gay people

106
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 5: off of buildings.

107
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 6: They don't have to share the basic human Listen, let's

108
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 6: let's not do that. Let's not do that because if

109
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 6: we start with that, we have we have been known

110
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 6: in this country to tie gay folks to.

111
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: The wed Hey, I know, but where the Iran this.

112
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 4: Nothing?

113
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: Are just black people?

114
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: So is it not even the same?

115
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: I couldn't step No, that's not what you mean to say.

116
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: It is the same.

117
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 4: No, it's not the year twenty twenty five.

118
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 5: The United States is nothing like if I stepped foot

119
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 5: wearing this, young.

120
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 2: People, I'm sorry.

121
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's very different to live in

122
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 5: the United States in twenty twenty five than it is

123
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 5: to live in a lot if you're.

124
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: Black, for everybody, not if you're black, And if you

125
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: are black in America, it's like being a woman in Iran.

126
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a bad take.

127
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: Well, I'm worried about how many people would buy that.

128
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: Idea.

129
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: And again setting this up, I thought, uh, interesting from

130
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: a journalistic standpoint, I don't agree with the second one,

131
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: kind of nut picking, but hilarious that somebody believes that

132
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: third one important. I think this one is actually important.

133
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,119
Speaker 1: Noah Rothman of The National Review wrote a whole piece

134
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: on it. Moral relativism. Relativism is the watchword of the

135
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: day thanks to Senator Ted Kruz because he and Tucker

136
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Carlson got into it on that long video cast we

137
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: didn't play that chunk of it. But Tucker said, all

138
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: leaders kill people, as if when we take out Solimani,

139
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: it's the same thing as putin bomb in a hospital

140
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: in Ukraine. All leaders kill people moral relativism, putting them

141
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: all in the same category. Back to Nora Rothman, he

142
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: made an example of one of the American rights more

143
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: prominent proponents of the notion that there are few ethical

144
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: distinctions between the United States and its allies and the

145
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: despotic criminal regimes that are devoted to remaking the US

146
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: led world order on their terms.

147
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: And all it took was.

148
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: For the view's co host, Whoopee Goldberg, to become visibly agitated,

149
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: was for her to be confronted with the fact that

150
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: the Islamic Republican of Iran mercilessly abuses the minority groups

151
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: that enjoy protected status here in the West. She said,

152
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: as you heard there, let's not do that, because if

153
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: we start with that, we have been known in this

154
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: country to tie gay folks to car Listen, I'm sorry,

155
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: they used to just keep hanging black people. Horrible story

156
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: of you might remember from years ago gay people being

157
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: gay people.

158
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 2: Have been abused, but it wasn't the government.

159
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: Policy to hang to drag gay people behind cars.

160
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: It was a horrible, homophobic.

161
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: Weirdo, nutjob, murderous lunatic who did that or lunatics.

162
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: That's not our government policy in Iran.

163
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: It's the government policy to hang gay people from cranes

164
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: in the middle of Tehran, right to beat women down

165
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: if they dare show their hair or talk back to

166
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: the secret police. Yeah, it's just it's a profoundly evil

167
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: take on top of it being just stupid. Noah points

168
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: out in The National Review. Iran executes women out of a

169
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: scene numbers, often for political offenses and sins against religious dogma.

170
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: It executes children in similar numbers. It ruthlessly black males

171
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: and courses families of women and children, intimidates, harasses in prison, tortures,

172
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: and too many cases murders, so they will keep their

173
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: dissension to a minimum. The Islamic Republic allows girls to

174
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: be married in quotes off at thirteen, does not protect

175
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: them from violent and abusive husbands, and then sentence them

176
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: to death after they commit desperate acts to escape the

177
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: crimes committed against them. This is all well known and

178
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: well documented. For Whoopi Goldberg to claim that it's worse

179
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: to be a black woman in America than to be

180
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: a woman in Iran is a horrific thing to say. Yeah,

181
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: and it bothers me that there might be a lot

182
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: of people who believe that well, and it undervalues it

183
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: spits on all the great good that's been done through

184
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: the history of the country too, and all the progress.

185
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's horrible. That's winner to me.

186
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: It is obscene to try to portray the United States

187
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: is as as awful as Iran or worse. That's so

188
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: bad for our politics. Yeah, that was idiotic, just terrible.

189
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: Do you think she believes that, You think she's just so.

190
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: Separately.

191
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: No, she's desperately motivated to be the victim. That is

192
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: her status. She is so steeped in the victim culture,

193
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: the oppressor of victim culture, and gains power from it

194
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: that she in the in the hierarchy. You know, they

195
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: actually teach it in universities, the whole intersectional thing in

196
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: the hierarchy of grievance. Somebody suggested Iranian woman have it

197
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: really bad, worse than whoopy has it in America, and

198
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: she could not sit still for that. Well, Tucker's saying

199
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: all leaders kill people, so I don't pay any attention

200
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: to that is the same thing. Yeah, you got African

201
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: leaders torturing and murdering Christians. It's not the same thing

202
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: as things we've done or France does or no, no.

203
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: No, we're running out of time.

204
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's a horrible suggestion, and that somebody

205
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: as smart as Tucker would go with so horrible an

206
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: argument to say something any any response to that text

207
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: line four one five two nine five KFDC.

208
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: Marstrong.

209
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 4: Well.

210
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 6: According to a new poll, more people are getting news

211
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 6: from AI bots like chat GPT, but it's not that reliable,

212
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 6: and there's so much news happening that AI is actually confusing.

213
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: Stories in details. For instance, here's some real news headlines

214
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: this week.

215
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 6: Okay, one hundred and ten year old lobster released Megan

216
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 6: Marco responds to tworking video and ms McConnell's skull's red

217
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 6: faced Pete hagg sat on Russia, but AI reported one

218
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 6: hundred and ten year old miss.

219
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: McConnell tworks in a Russian red loots.

220
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: That shouldn't that shouldn't.

221
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: I feel like they had an idea for a joke

222
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: and had to force a premise.

223
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's funny.

224
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was going to bring up, that

225
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: people are increasingly turning to AI chat bots like chat

226
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: GPT for day to day news, especially younger people.

227
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 2: And so I just did it.

228
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: Well, and what way did you get news from a

229
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: chat gpt for instance?

230
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: Well, I just asked what are the most important news

231
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: stories today? Okay?

232
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: And it spat out a handful, and you know that

233
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: they are indeed big news stories, but they are all

234
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: from liberal outlets, from the Guardian to Wikipedia to there's

235
00:12:53,400 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: the Guardian again, Reuters. Wow, there's a big headline from Australia.

236
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: Well, and we had.

237
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: So yesterday. I believe Joe used the course expression as

238
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: he has wont to do of when the S hits

239
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: the fan, S being a letter denoting a really disgusting word.

240
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 2: And I'm not.

241
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: Familiar with these phrases that Joe traffics in, but apparently

242
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: it's common when the S hits the fan.

243
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: And so I chat GP why are you laughing.

244
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: Katie because you are so full of what it's the fan?

245
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.

246
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said what she said. Huh.

247
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: So I asked chat GPT where that phrase came from

248
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: and it gave me a little history, and I thought, wow,

249
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: that is really really interesting. But then one of our

250
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: listeners looked up the explanation that chat GPT gave and

251
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: claims it's fake. The novel that they cited doesn't exist. Now,

252
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to verify that, but I'm

253
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: going to assume it's true. If that's true, it's one

254
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: of those hallucinations that we've all heard of where people

255
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: have gotten trouble in court, for instance, where you cite

256
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: a court case that chet GPT gave you it's completely

257
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: made up. AI, for some reason, every once in a while,

258
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: completely fabricate something like my son used to do when

259
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: he was little, and I'd ask him a question and

260
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: he felt like he had to have an answer instead

261
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: of just saying I don't know, he would make something up.

262
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: Apparently AI does that for some reason, and nobody has

263
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: the idea why or how to stop it.

264
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: But like, this is funny.

265
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: I was just googling it to see if I could

266
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: find that novel and the first citation is a Reddit

267
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: comment from the very listener who dropped us a note.

268
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: Okay, but if.

269
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: That's true, I mean that's that kind of takes the

270
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: fun out of the way.

271
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: I've been using.

272
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: Chet GPT for the last couple of weeks. If every

273
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: once in a while it's completely made up, what is

274
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: your takeaway on that? I mean, I don't do I

275
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: continue to use chat GPT. That was pretty wounding to

276
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: find out that is.

277
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: Just completely made up. Yeah, I can't. I can't find

278
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: any evidence that it exists. Wow.

279
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it created a novel from the thirties that

280
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: uses the phrase as it's the fan to have an

281
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: answer for where that phrase comes from. I am as

282
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: mystified as Elon musk and the other tech gurus are

283
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: by this phenomenon. It's it's dizzying. I can't imagine how

284
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: that happens. Well, I don't know if I can still

285
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: go to to to these AI bots for information if

286
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: it's going to be I don't know how often it

287
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: makes stuff up. Somebody needs to put their arm around

288
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: chat GPT and say it's okay to say I don't know, right. Wow,

289
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: that's troubling. I don't even know what to say to that.

290
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of Elon musk Man, did he get what's the

291
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: opposite of a come up? And big sums? Up justified

292
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: big Elon story coming up next.

293
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: Are strong and getty.

294
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 5: I don't think you will hear any explicit criticism or

295
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 5: even attempts to persuade a President Trump to take a

296
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 5: more decisive and a quicker action. They have been very

297
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 5: clear though the Israelis that they are not remotely interested

298
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 5: in pursuing a diplomatic option, and they are even less

299
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 5: interested in trying to be persuaded, for example, to stop

300
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 5: the bombs.

301
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: Or stop the.

302
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 5: Strikes, while those diplomatic negotiations would would go on.

303
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: That's Clariss Award of She with CNN now. But Trump

304
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: is not interested in a diplomatic solution. I mean, I

305
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: guess he is. If it's total surrender. That's what he's

306
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: calling for, complete surrender, Like we get to look everywhere,

307
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: all nuclear facilities need to be completely destroyed. That's what

308
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: complete surrender would be. A couple of updates and then

309
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: maybe an hour three we'll get into it more. The

310
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: big headline being Trump announced yesterday is going to take

311
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks to think this over. Could be

312
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: completely true, could be the best way to get your

313
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: opponent to let down their guard and you attack today.

314
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: I have no idea.

315
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: Whether Israel's okay with waiting a couple of weeks, I

316
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 1: don't know, because they're running out of air defense.

317
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: Well, this is kind of interesting.

318
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: From open source Defender on Twitter, which has lots of

319
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: cool information, A whole bunch of stuff just showed up

320
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: in the Middle East from European US air bases, additional

321
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: air defense systems, munition support equipment, up, et cetera. So

322
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of air defense stuff is just shown

323
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: up in.

324
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: The Middle East.

325
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: That's ours that maybe we're gonna eat Israel or use

326
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: in case we go to war. I don't know, right,

327
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: It's certainly possible that the defense planners told Trump that

328
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: to get like the next layer of preparedness is going

329
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: to take five to fourteen days, right President, and he said,

330
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: all right, we'll do it within two weeks, which is

331
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: the specific phrase he used. Also from open source so it,

332
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: I guess used satellite images of our air base in Katar,

333
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: one of the US Air Force's most important bases in

334
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: the entire Middle East, appears to show the base completely empty,

335
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: completely abandoned. Usually has dozens of military aircraft, many many people,

336
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: air fueling tankers, et cetera, et cetera. It's completely empty

337
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: because it's within range of Iran shooting Matus and also

338
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: an indication that we might be getting jiggy withitted.

339
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. See, yeah, indeed, yeah.

340
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: We will see a couple of Elon Musk related stories,

341
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: one which dovetails nicely with our last segment about AI

342
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: Elon in the second one is much more impactful, by

343
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: the way, But the first story, Elon Musk lashed out

344
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: at his own AI chatbot Grock after it stated that

345
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: right wing violence has become quote more frequent and deadly

346
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,479
Speaker 1: than left wing attacks. How on that listener asked that question?

347
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: Pardon me, How the hell would you nail that down? Yeah,

348
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: that'd be tough, but Groc tried. Since twenty sixteen, data

349
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: suggests right wing political violence has become more frequent and deadly,

350
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: with incidents like the January sixth Capitol riot and mass shootings.

351
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: He learned significant fatalities. Maybe this is where you're going,

352
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: But we learned last week from documents obtained by Republicans

353
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: that those stats that were being put out by the government,

354
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: they used each individual case on January sixth, when they

355
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: would say we have ninety examples of right wing extremists violence.

356
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: They were all the same riot January sixth, and they

357
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: use those like individual cases to pad the numbers. So

358
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: Elon lashed out at his own chatbot. He posted on

359
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: xt quote major fail. This is objectively false. Groc is

360
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: parroting legacy media working on it.

361
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

362
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: That's the other problem with some of these systems is

363
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: they they are parrots. I mean, they're very sophisticated parrots.

364
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: The Norwegian blue beautiful plumage in that ther your bigfoot

365
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: media will call out the political ramific or the political

366
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: origin of right wing violence, but it will act like

367
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: left wing violence is just violence. Well that's the problem

368
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: with the whole AI is is woke.

369
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: Well if it takes.

370
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: In information from the world, and so much of the

371
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: world is woke, well then that's what it's gonna spit

372
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: back out.

373
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what you do about that so much

374
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 2: of the media world.

375
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, ask plumbers, not the New York Times.

376
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: I'd give you a more accurate response. Anyway. This story

377
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 2: about Elon is.

378
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: Much more important, and it illustrates the depths to which

379
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: the UK specifically has sunk. Elon called out the Brits

380
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: on the grooming gang's scandal not long ago. If you're

381
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: not familiar with this, I'm actually going to quote a

382
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: fair amount from the Wall Street Journal editorial board from

383
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: earlier this week. Elite progressive conformity is a problem across

384
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: the Western world, and a telling example.

385
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 2: Was exposed this week in the UK.

386
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: Had tiped Elon Musk for prodding the Brits to confront

387
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: the scandal is so called grooming gangs. These are men

388
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: who shower adolescents with attention and gifts before coercing them

389
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: into having sex and then worse from there. Louise Casey,

390
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: a member of the House of the Lords, released an

391
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: audit Monday that confirms with the public had long suspected,

392
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: though the government denied it. The gangs are disproportionately Asian,

393
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: such as Pakistani mostly Pakistani, and the government has tried

394
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: actively to obfuscate this fact. Prime Minister Keir Starmer commissioned

395
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: the audit in February after Musk called attention of the scandal.

396
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: Monday's report suggests that an appalling lack of data about

397
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: the perpetrator's ethnicity is one major failing of the UK's efforts.

398
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: Starmer is now announced to nationwide probe. The audit says

399
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: it is not to want to examine the ethnicity of offenders.

400
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: Authorities need to understand who the perpetrators are or quote.

401
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: It will be less easy to identify cultural and other

402
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: drivers behind particular patterns of offending. The report notes, Oh

403
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: my god, somebody in the British government, and you know

404
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: it's fairly rare. In the United States government has said

405
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: there are cultural norms in different cultures that differ from

406
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: ours in the West, and some.

407
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: Of them are repugnant. I'm paraphrasing.

408
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: The report cites many examples where authorities deliberately avoided looking

409
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: at ethnicity or culture quote for fear of appearing racist,

410
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: raising community tensions, or causing community cohesion problems. That is well,

411
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: first of all, it's suicide as a culture to do

412
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: that correct. Secondly, it's just disgusting. How do you get this,

413
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: how do you get there logically? Well, we're talking about

414
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: underage girls being raped here. It's not like shoplifting, which

415
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: is bad enough that I don't want to look like

416
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: a racist or something or erase engines in the community. Yeah,

417
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: because these are mostly poor and working class girls who

418
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: are being raped and and forced to turn tricks and

419
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: once they're in the clutches of the gang. Uh so, yeah,

420
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: let's not raise community tensions. There's so much of Europe,

421
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: not all of it, but so much of it that

422
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: is allowed in damnation upon the generational leaders that allowed

423
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: the rampant immigration from uh, you know, the Middle East

424
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: and Africa and the rest of it. I'm sorry, I

425
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: lost my train of thought. Well they oh, that's right.

426
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: And having done this and being confronted with a cultural bully,

427
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: their strategy has been don't make the bully man. Please,

428
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: don't make the bullymad. They have gangs raping girls, well,

429
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: we don't want to make them mad. That is just shocking.

430
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: Information about ethnicity was missing in two thirds of the

431
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: cases recorded in national data. Some local police departments had

432
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: complete demographic data, and the auditors also looked at convictions.

433
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: They found that men Ofvasi ethnicity made up a larger

434
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: share of the grooming gang perpetrators and suspects than the

435
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: local populations. The auditor's caution limited data may not be

436
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: nationally representative, but it merits broader investigation. The audit is

437
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: especially critical of a twenty twenty government report that suggested

438
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: quote the majority of offenders in sexual grooming gangs were

439
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: likely white. That report was quoted and re quoted in

440
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: official reports, the media and elsewhere as proof that claims

441
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: made about Asian grooming gangs are sensationalized or untrue. How

442
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: similar is that to the whole you know, transgender youth

443
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: will kill themselves and the w path study points out

444
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: the gender affirming care helps kids completely fictional.

445
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: Well that's highly troubling.

446
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: Way, and Elon got murdered by the British press and

447
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: the lefty politicians in UK for pointing out how the

448
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: grooming gang scandal has been covered up. But then the

449
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: lefty Prime Minister's own audit said, uh yeah, it turns

450
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: out it's right man. Good for Elon in that one,

451
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: because the press wasn't going to do that story.

452
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: That's pretty heavy for a Friday.

453
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: You know, what would be fun is a lot of

454
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: snark about one of the world's richest mens ridiculously over

455
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: the top wedding that he's planning for this month. Yes,

00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: that's the fella. I'm still waiting for the invitation. It's

457
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: probably just stuck in the mail. The Bezos super wedding,

458
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: The details have leaked. If I get invited, do I

459
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: have to intend all of the many multi day events.

460
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: For like it'll cost you six figures? Probably? Yeah, I

461
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: couldn't handle it. I can't.

462
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: I can't pretend to be excited about this every day,

463
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: day after day, same thing. Oh so much pomp, stay

Speaker 2: Will I get free shipping in my wedding gift? That's

466

Speaker 2: a good question, right there? Wow, wow, two day prim Yes,

Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm actually gonna watch. I think sounds sounds cool.

479

00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: Wow, that's become more of a cultural touchstone. Speaking of culture,

487
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: this is something now I may have over promised a

488
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: little bit. Some of the details are leaking about the

492
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: good for you. And it is said to be raising

493
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: the bar significantly over some of the other recent super weddings.

494
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: For instance, here's this sit you.

495
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: Feel the need to compete at stuff like that. I

496
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: just find so incredibly off putting, says the pauper moving

497
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: along today. The new normal is a super wedding for

498
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,280

00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: in size, with costs running into the millions. And they

500
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: mentioned this power couple in India. Their wedding included a

501
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: custom built glass palace and a performance by Rihanna. Then

Speaker 1: weddings spend multiple days in Antibbi's France, featuring Hope culture,

505
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: Chanelle gowns, and an after party headlined by rock band

Speaker 1: Good Charlotte and again the Bezos. Sanchaz union is said

507
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: to be raising the bar, says one planner, a luxury

508
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: wedding planner. It used to be about fireworks, then it

509
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: was about drones. Now it's shooting fireworks from drones. She's

510
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: done weddings for celembs like Jennifer Lopez. A multi day

511
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: luxury wedding with two hundred guests now carries a price

512
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: tag of about four million dollars, according to Jamie Simon,

513
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: director of events at luxury planning firm Banana Split, which

514
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: brought the Grange wedding to life. Cowie says, he's oh,

515
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: that's another guy that was quoted earlier has worked on

516
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: weddings that cost eight figures, that would be ten million plus.

517
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: Why why don't.

518
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: You just print out your financial statement and hand it

519
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: around because that's what you're doing, isn't it showing people

520
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: how wealthy you are, well, yeah, but you are with

521
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: those people having a really good time, and so it

522
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: gains you even more cachet and probably invites this similar thing.

523
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: I understand a good time, but there are diminishing returns

524
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: after a certain amount of money, Like I don't I

525
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: think anything past couple thousand dollars, And you can't get

526
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: that much more fun going, can you?

527
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: Oh you lack imagine?

528
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: It's you, simple, simple to the beautiful, simple little man.

529
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: Well, listen to some of this stuff.

530
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: The costs include upscale vendors for everything from cocktail our

531
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: caviar to seventy five thousand dollars hanging installations to nightclub

532
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: worthy sound and lighting. Well, I guess it depends on

533
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: who you are. I would get no enjoyment out of

534
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: your seventy five thousand dollars hanging something or others. You're

535
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: not invited a bartender's tap mixologist to craft bespoke cocktails.

536
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: You have food stylists.

537
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: Florists are working with drapery artists who add huge swaths

538
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: of fabric for additional layers of drama. See I find this,

539
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: I actually do. This is not jealousy. I find it disgusting.

540
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: I find that sort of opulent, self indulgent, conspicuous consumption

541
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: disgusting and immoral.

542
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 2: I really do. I'm not a socialist.

543
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: I don't want, you know, anybody to take their money

544
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: or for anything like that, but I find it immoral

545
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: to do that sort of thing. I think it's like

546
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: gluttony or lust or anything else. It's just it's too much.

547
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

548
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: The bride has asked me to tell you to get

549
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: on your mule and go, Clem.

550
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: You're not welcome here, all right, Get on your mule, Clem.

551
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: A luxury destination wedding takes a village to produce. Heywood

552
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: in London, works with teams as large as five hundred

553
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: people for the event. She plans, We've got eighty thousand

554
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: rose stems here. Can you imagine how many people it

555
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: takes to condition those flowers. I don't even know what

556
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: that means beyond manpower to set up hey What also

557
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: maintains a twenty person team to assist some small details

558
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: like steaming bridesmaid's dresses. They also look after family VIPs,

559
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: make sure the grandparents have a drink at all times.

560
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 2: Ba ba bah.

561
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: Well, I remember we had this story a couple of

562
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: weeks ago about how many days are involved. There's like

563
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,479
Speaker 1: an all day some sort of reception, and then another

564
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: whole day different kind of reception, and then an entire

565
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: day of that kind of reception. It's just like in

566
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: a dance party at night, And even if I was invited,

567
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: I think, how many of these freaking things do I

568
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: have to get dressed up for? Actually, there was one

569
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: of those things dramatized beautifully in at What's the Star

570
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: Wars Show? I was so excited about Mandalorian and Or

571
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: and Or and Or. Yeah, it was a multi day

572
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: upper krusty wedding, But this planner says typical clients typically

573
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: hope to show guests something they've never experienced before. She's

574
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: built six hundred thousand dollars structures for wedding, rented ten

575
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: foot candelabras, and ordered custom furniture from Egypt. This guy

576
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: typically works with silk Flowers for overhead installations, which can

577
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: cost twenty five to seventy five thousand dollars. I would

578
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: like to know first the ratio of dollars spent to

579
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: likely hood, marriage lasts, or or even just happiness, Like

580
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: you're happy together? Okay, here here are my favorite ones.

581
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: More wealthy couples are opting for video mapping, where lighting

582
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: artists project three D images throughout a venue, immersive like

583
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: you're in different parts of the world. And this planner

584
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: recently commissioned a half million dollar holograph of the bride's

585
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: deceased grandfather to share well wishes to the couple. Maybe

586
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: Alkita is right, Maybe we are decadent in the list.

587
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: Maybe al Qaeda's right.

588
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: You can get Paul McCartney, John Rolling Stones, Lionel Richie, anybody,

589
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: but Adele. Adele won't do weddings good to humiliating, good

590
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: for I would agree if I got enough money, I'm

591
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: not gonna go be your dancing monkey. If I'm Riana

592
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: or whoever, I don't need more money, I'm not gonna

593
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: go perform the way you want me to perform for

594
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: your wedding. Oh, I didn't even get into the dancing monkeys.

595
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 1: They're fifteen hundred bucks a pop and it's a minimum

596
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: of ten. So anyway, well, I'm sure we'll see lots

597
