WEBVTT - Beautiful Plumage! 

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Before we get to three. The stupidest things ever said.

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:03.600
<v Speaker 2>This is.

0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Could qualify if he had said it rather than posting it,

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:12.559
<v Speaker 1>So this could fit. So last night, a judge says, yeah,

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump could send the National Guard out in Los

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Angeles to protect federal buildings, but apparently also said he

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have unlimited ability to do that. So Gavin Newsom

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>has jumped on that with this statement, the court rightly

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>rejected Trump's claim that he can do whatever he wants

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.639
<v Speaker 1>with the National Guard and not have to explain himself

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to a court.

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 2>We will continue to take on the president.

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>So he lost, but he's struggling on a post to

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.480
<v Speaker 1>try to make it sound like he won, right, which

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 1>is pretty funny, you know what. I appreciate the effort.

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>It's plucky, you know what. It's ridiculous, but it's pretty clever.

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Just some spirit that's great. So yeah, it occurs to

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>me the bad take of the Week could be a

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>new feature at Going Forward and the Armstrong He getdy

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>sh I like the idea. We have three candidates today,

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Todd of Meet the Press fame who explained America

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>to Washington and Washington America, Oh my god, every time

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I hear that phrase, I want to vomit. An anonymous

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>Instagram woman who has clawed her way up to contend

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:24.759
<v Speaker 1>with celebrities due to the stupidity of her take, and

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>then really one of the all time greats in this category,

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Whoopee Goldberg, with a truly profoundly stupid take, And I

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>like how these are all so different. Yes, I think

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 1>like semi consequential from a media standpoint, probably nutpicking, but

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>still hilarious and amazing, and then means something is important

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>but dumb. Yeah, it's It's a lot like the Westminster

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Dog Show. How do you judge the Schnauzer against the

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Irish wolf?

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Found?

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>It is a task. It's very much like the wen

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Sminster Show. I am wearing a short skirt, a long

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>skirt down below the knees, with sensible shoes and hose,

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>so I can jog along next to these.

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Clips trotting along.

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's begin with the Caesar haircutted just so

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.679
<v Speaker 1>full of himself it hurts Chuck Todd for the stupidest

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>take of the week.

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 3>I will go to my grave believing that the debate

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 3>was intentional. Good for that, I neda done and general

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 3>Maley Dellan will deny it till they're blowing the faith.

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 3>They knew when the nomination was going to be and

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.359
<v Speaker 3>they knew they needed to deal with this with an

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to make a change if it was necessary.

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So Biden's inner circle intentionally trotted him out to

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>make a fool of himself in the debate to get

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>rid of him, even though they were, according to Chuck

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Todd's Jake Tapper's book, and everyone else, lying to everyone,

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>including good friends, about the president's mental abilities as they

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>desperately clung to power, knowing that even Kamala Harris would

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>heave them all out on their ears.

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 2>So they intentionally exploded. That's a dumb take.

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I yeah, I find that really hard to believe. And

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that's Chuck Todd. He's on some sort of podcast with

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>uh and his name flits out of my head. The

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>guy who wrote this down that we tend to like,

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Mark Lebovitch, Mark Lepovich, mark Levich.

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Is not in the long seeing yep, yep. So he agrees.

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, those guys know Washington DC insider stuff

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>better than you know practically anybody. It just it just

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't seem like it fits with the rest of

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the cover up. No, yeah, eah, just clank all right.

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Intrant number two, anonymous Instagram woman.

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 2>This is twenty one.

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 4>Michael, who voted for Trump and all these moments I

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 4>want the immigrants, Khan. They literally go on vacation to Mexico,

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 4>gang gun, they go take a break from their reality

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 4>and our reality and our land where we struggled for

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 4>a better future. And nobody calls zip aliens or terrorists

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 4>when they're on our land, right, we welcome them with

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 4>open arm. Let them explore our land peacefully. They enjoy

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 4>our beaches, our foods, our traditions, videotape everything that goes

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 4>on in our communities in our country, like we're exotic

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 4>animals to them. And yet where terrists aliens, criminal for

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 4>living on stolen land.

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>So when you go to Mexico to visit on vacation,

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:39.679
<v Speaker 1>nobody's calling you an illegal alien. Right.

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Wow? How old was she was? She eight?

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Because if she's eight, I'll give her a pass. If

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>she's older than eight, I won't. And then just when

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you think, wow, this is a really strong entry, she

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 1>just bam finishes with the whole stolen land Canard that's

0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>a pretty strong offering there, you m efforts. Nobody calls

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>you aliens when you're on the beach at Cancun. No,

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>you're you're literally tourists. Is why you haven't established them.

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>It's not even worth arguing about. That is a dumb take,

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>really dumb. And are you willing to give the land

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>back to the Mayans and the Aztecs that the Spanish stole?

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I like that idiotic argument we were talking about yesterday

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>on the show. Hey, look at all the cities in

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>California that had Spanish names.

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>It's proof that stole the land.

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because a bunch of lights, Bisku and Spaniards are

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the native peoples of Mexico?

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Are they the hell?

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.479
<v Speaker 1>Well, if you fall for that argument, well you haven't

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>studied history or you just dumb. All right, but those

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:46.119
<v Speaker 1>two entrant strong, they're up against again a legend Wollop

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>be Goldberg.

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 5>Let's just remember too, the Iranians literally throw gay people

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:51.600
<v Speaker 5>off of buildings.

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 6>They don't have to share the basic human Listen, let's

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 6>let's not do that. Let's not do that because if

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 6>we start with that, we have we have been known

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 6>in this country to tie gay folks to.

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>The wed Hey, I know, but where the Iran this.

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:09.119
<v Speaker 4>Nothing?

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Are just black people?

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 3>So is it not even the same?

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't step No, that's not what you mean to say.

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 2>It is the same.

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 4>No, it's not the year twenty twenty five.

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 5>The United States is nothing like if I stepped foot

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 5>wearing this, young.

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.679
<v Speaker 2>People, I'm sorry.

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I think it's very different to live in

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 5>the United States in twenty twenty five than it is

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 5>to live in a lot if you're.

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Black, for everybody, not if you're black, And if you

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>are black in America, it's like being a woman in Iran.

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's a bad take.

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm worried about how many people would buy that.

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Idea.

0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>And again setting this up, I thought, uh, interesting from

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>a journalistic standpoint, I don't agree with the second one,

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of nut picking, but hilarious that somebody believes that

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>third one important. I think this one is actually important.

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.119
<v Speaker 1>Noah Rothman of The National Review wrote a whole piece

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>on it. Moral relativism. Relativism is the watchword of the

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 1>day thanks to Senator Ted Kruz because he and Tucker

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Carlson got into it on that long video cast we

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't play that chunk of it. But Tucker said, all

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>leaders kill people, as if when we take out Solimani,

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>it's the same thing as putin bomb in a hospital

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>in Ukraine. All leaders kill people moral relativism, putting them

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>all in the same category. Back to Nora Rothman, he

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>made an example of one of the American rights more

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>prominent proponents of the notion that there are few ethical

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>distinctions between the United States and its allies and the

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>despotic criminal regimes that are devoted to remaking the US

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 1>led world order on their terms.

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>And all it took was.

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>For the view's co host, Whoopee Goldberg, to become visibly agitated,

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>was for her to be confronted with the fact that

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the Islamic Republican of Iran mercilessly abuses the minority groups

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 1>that enjoy protected status here in the West. She said,

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>as you heard there, let's not do that, because if

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>we start with that, we have been known in this

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>country to tie gay folks to car Listen, I'm sorry,

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>they used to just keep hanging black people. Horrible story

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>of you might remember from years ago gay people being

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 1>gay people.

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Have been abused, but it wasn't the government.

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Policy to hang to drag gay people behind cars.

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 2>It was a horrible, homophobic.

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Weirdo, nutjob, murderous lunatic who did that or lunatics.

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 2>That's not our government policy in Iran.

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 1>It's the government policy to hang gay people from cranes

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of Tehran, right to beat women down

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.120
<v Speaker 1>if they dare show their hair or talk back to

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:06.079
<v Speaker 1>the secret police. Yeah, it's just it's a profoundly evil

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 1>take on top of it being just stupid. Noah points

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.560
<v Speaker 1>out in The National Review. Iran executes women out of a

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>scene numbers, often for political offenses and sins against religious dogma.

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>It executes children in similar numbers. It ruthlessly black males

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>and courses families of women and children, intimidates, harasses in prison, tortures,

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and too many cases murders, so they will keep their

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>dissension to a minimum. The Islamic Republic allows girls to

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>be married in quotes off at thirteen, does not protect

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>them from violent and abusive husbands, and then sentence them

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to death after they commit desperate acts to escape the

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 1>crimes committed against them. This is all well known and

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 1>well documented. For Whoopi Goldberg to claim that it's worse

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 1>to be a black woman in America than to be

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>a woman in Iran is a horrific thing to say. Yeah,

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>and it bothers me that there might be a lot

0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:02.439
<v Speaker 1>of people who believe that well, and it undervalues it

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>spits on all the great good that's been done through

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the history of the country too, and all the progress.

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>It's yeah, it's horrible. That's winner to me.

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 1>It is obscene to try to portray the United States

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>is as as awful as Iran or worse. That's so

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>bad for our politics. Yeah, that was idiotic, just terrible.

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you think she believes that, You think she's just so.

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Separately.

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>No, she's desperately motivated to be the victim. That is

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 1>her status. She is so steeped in the victim culture,

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the oppressor of victim culture, and gains power from it

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>that she in the in the hierarchy. You know, they

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>actually teach it in universities, the whole intersectional thing in

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the hierarchy of grievance. Somebody suggested Iranian woman have it

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>really bad, worse than whoopy has it in America, and

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 1>she could not sit still for that. Well, Tucker's saying

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 1>all leaders kill people, so I don't pay any attention

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 1>to that is the same thing. Yeah, you got African

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>leaders torturing and murdering Christians. It's not the same thing

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:20.719
<v Speaker 1>as things we've done or France does or no, no.

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 2>No, we're running out of time.

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, that's that's a horrible suggestion, and that somebody

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>as smart as Tucker would go with so horrible an

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.839
<v Speaker 1>argument to say something any any response to that text

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>line four one five two nine five KFDC.

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Marstrong.

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 4>Well.

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 6>According to a new poll, more people are getting news

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 6>from AI bots like chat GPT, but it's not that reliable,

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 6>and there's so much news happening that AI is actually confusing.

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Stories in details. For instance, here's some real news headlines

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 2>this week.

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 6>Okay, one hundred and ten year old lobster released Megan

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 6>Marco responds to tworking video and ms McConnell's skull's red

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 6>faced Pete hagg sat on Russia, but AI reported one

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:03.720
<v Speaker 6>hundred and ten year old miss.

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 1>McConnell tworks in a Russian red loots.

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 2>That shouldn't that shouldn't.

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I feel like they had an idea for a joke

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.320
<v Speaker 1>and had to force a premise.

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, it's funny.

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what I was going to bring up, that

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 1>people are increasingly turning to AI chat bots like chat

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 1>GPT for day to day news, especially younger people.

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 2>And so I just did it.

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, and what way did you get news from a

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 1>chat gpt for instance?

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, I just asked what are the most important news

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 2>stories today? Okay?

0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 1>And it spat out a handful, and you know that

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.079
<v Speaker 1>they are indeed big news stories, but they are all

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>from liberal outlets, from the Guardian to Wikipedia to there's

0:12:53.400 --> 0:13:00.200
<v Speaker 1>the Guardian again, Reuters. Wow, there's a big headline from Australia.

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, and we had.

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:08.079
<v Speaker 1>So yesterday. I believe Joe used the course expression as

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 1>he has wont to do of when the S hits

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:17.199
<v Speaker 1>the fan, S being a letter denoting a really disgusting word.

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:18.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not.

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Familiar with these phrases that Joe traffics in, but apparently

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>it's common when the S hits the fan.

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 2>And so I chat GP why are you laughing.

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Katie because you are so full of what it's the fan?

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:30.719
<v Speaker 1>It's unbelievable.

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well said what she said. Huh.

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:37.200
<v Speaker 1>So I asked chat GPT where that phrase came from

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and it gave me a little history, and I thought, wow,

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>that is really really interesting. But then one of our

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 1>listeners looked up the explanation that chat GPT gave and

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 1>claims it's fake. The novel that they cited doesn't exist. Now,

0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I haven't had a chance to verify that, but I'm

0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.040
<v Speaker 1>going to assume it's true. If that's true, it's one

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.839
<v Speaker 1>of those hallucinations that we've all heard of where people

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 1>have gotten trouble in court, for instance, where you cite

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a court case that chet GPT gave you it's completely

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 1>made up. AI, for some reason, every once in a while,

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>completely fabricate something like my son used to do when

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>he was little, and I'd ask him a question and

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 1>he felt like he had to have an answer instead

0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 1>of just saying I don't know, he would make something up.

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Apparently AI does that for some reason, and nobody has

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the idea why or how to stop it.

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 2>But like, this is funny.

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I was just googling it to see if I could

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>find that novel and the first citation is a Reddit

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 1>comment from the very listener who dropped us a note.

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but if.

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>That's true, I mean that's that kind of takes the

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 1>fun out of the way.

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 2>I've been using.

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Chet GPT for the last couple of weeks. If every

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>once in a while it's completely made up, what is

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>your takeaway on that? I mean, I don't do I

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 1>continue to use chat GPT. That was pretty wounding to

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 1>find out that is.

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Just completely made up. Yeah, I can't. I can't find

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 2>any evidence that it exists. Wow.

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so it created a novel from the thirties that

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 1>uses the phrase as it's the fan to have an

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>answer for where that phrase comes from. I am as

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 1>mystified as Elon musk and the other tech gurus are

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 1>by this phenomenon. It's it's dizzying. I can't imagine how

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>that happens. Well, I don't know if I can still

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 1>go to to to these AI bots for information if

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be I don't know how often it

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 1>makes stuff up. Somebody needs to put their arm around

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>chat GPT and say it's okay to say I don't know, right. Wow,

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 1>that's troubling. I don't even know what to say to that.

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Elon musk Man, did he get what's the

0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.920
<v Speaker 1>opposite of a come up? And big sums? Up justified

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>big Elon story coming up next.

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Are strong and getty.

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't think you will hear any explicit criticism or

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 5>even attempts to persuade a President Trump to take a

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 5>more decisive and a quicker action. They have been very

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 5>clear though the Israelis that they are not remotely interested

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 5>in pursuing a diplomatic option, and they are even less

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 5>interested in trying to be persuaded, for example, to stop

0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 5>the bombs.

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Or stop the.

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 5>Strikes, while those diplomatic negotiations would would go on.

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 1>That's Clariss Award of She with CNN now. But Trump

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>is not interested in a diplomatic solution. I mean, I

0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 1>guess he is. If it's total surrender. That's what he's

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 1>calling for, complete surrender, Like we get to look everywhere,

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:52.000
<v Speaker 1>all nuclear facilities need to be completely destroyed. That's what

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 1>complete surrender would be. A couple of updates and then

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe an hour three we'll get into it more. The

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 1>big headline being Trump announced yesterday is going to take

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks to think this over. Could be

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 1>completely true, could be the best way to get your

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.080
<v Speaker 1>opponent to let down their guard and you attack today.

0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea.

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Whether Israel's okay with waiting a couple of weeks, I

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know, because they're running out of air defense.

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is kind of interesting.

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:23.159
<v Speaker 1>From open source Defender on Twitter, which has lots of

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 1>cool information, A whole bunch of stuff just showed up

0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Middle East from European US air bases, additional

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 1>air defense systems, munition support equipment, up, et cetera. So

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of air defense stuff is just shown

0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 1>up in.

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:38.520
<v Speaker 2>The Middle East.

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 1>That's ours that maybe we're gonna eat Israel or use

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 1>in case we go to war. I don't know, right,

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.679
<v Speaker 1>It's certainly possible that the defense planners told Trump that

0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 1>to get like the next layer of preparedness is going

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to take five to fourteen days, right President, and he said,

0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 1>all right, we'll do it within two weeks, which is

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the specific phrase he used. Also from open source so it,

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess used satellite images of our air base in Katar,

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.639
<v Speaker 1>one of the US Air Force's most important bases in

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the entire Middle East, appears to show the base completely empty,

0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 1>completely abandoned. Usually has dozens of military aircraft, many many people,

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.639
<v Speaker 1>air fueling tankers, et cetera, et cetera. It's completely empty

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 1>because it's within range of Iran shooting Matus and also

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.680
<v Speaker 1>an indication that we might be getting jiggy withitted.

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. See, yeah, indeed, yeah.

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 1>We will see a couple of Elon Musk related stories,

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.680
<v Speaker 1>one which dovetails nicely with our last segment about AI

0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.359
<v Speaker 1>Elon in the second one is much more impactful, by

0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the way, But the first story, Elon Musk lashed out

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 1>at his own AI chatbot Grock after it stated that

0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.720
<v Speaker 1>right wing violence has become quote more frequent and deadly

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:56.479
<v Speaker 1>than left wing attacks. How on that listener asked that question?

0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Pardon me, How the hell would you nail that down? Yeah,

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:04.400
<v Speaker 1>that'd be tough, but Groc tried. Since twenty sixteen, data

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:08.040
<v Speaker 1>suggests right wing political violence has become more frequent and deadly,

0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.520
<v Speaker 1>with incidents like the January sixth Capitol riot and mass shootings.

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.920
<v Speaker 1>He learned significant fatalities. Maybe this is where you're going,

0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 1>But we learned last week from documents obtained by Republicans

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 1>that those stats that were being put out by the government,

0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 1>they used each individual case on January sixth, when they

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:36.160
<v Speaker 1>would say we have ninety examples of right wing extremists violence.

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.919
<v Speaker 1>They were all the same riot January sixth, and they

0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:44.199
<v Speaker 1>use those like individual cases to pad the numbers. So

0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Elon lashed out at his own chatbot. He posted on

0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 1>xt quote major fail. This is objectively false. Groc is

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.000
<v Speaker 1>parroting legacy media working on it.

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:57.679
<v Speaker 1>That's the other problem with some of these systems is

0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:01.360
<v Speaker 1>they they are parrots. I mean, they're very sophisticated parrots.

0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 1>The Norwegian blue beautiful plumage in that ther your bigfoot

0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 1>media will call out the political ramific or the political

0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.080
<v Speaker 1>origin of right wing violence, but it will act like

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.240
<v Speaker 1>left wing violence is just violence. Well that's the problem

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 1>with the whole AI is is woke.

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Well if it takes.

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.639
<v Speaker 1>In information from the world, and so much of the

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.680
<v Speaker 1>world is woke, well then that's what it's gonna spit

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:29.080
<v Speaker 1>back out.

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what you do about that so much

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:31.920
<v Speaker 2>of the media world.

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, ask plumbers, not the New York Times.

0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I'd give you a more accurate response. Anyway. This story

0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:40.640
<v Speaker 2>about Elon is.

0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Much more important, and it illustrates the depths to which

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the UK specifically has sunk. Elon called out the Brits

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:58.200
<v Speaker 1>on the grooming gang's scandal not long ago. If you're

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.919
<v Speaker 1>not familiar with this, I'm actually going to quote a

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 1>fair amount from the Wall Street Journal editorial board from

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 1>earlier this week. Elite progressive conformity is a problem across

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the Western world, and a telling example.

0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Was exposed this week in the UK.

0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:14.399
<v Speaker 1>Had tiped Elon Musk for prodding the Brits to confront

0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the scandal is so called grooming gangs. These are men

0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:20.960
<v Speaker 1>who shower adolescents with attention and gifts before coercing them

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 1>into having sex and then worse from there. Louise Casey,

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 1>a member of the House of the Lords, released an

0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:30.760
<v Speaker 1>audit Monday that confirms with the public had long suspected,

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:34.720
<v Speaker 1>though the government denied it. The gangs are disproportionately Asian,

0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:38.440
<v Speaker 1>such as Pakistani mostly Pakistani, and the government has tried

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:43.160
<v Speaker 1>actively to obfuscate this fact. Prime Minister Keir Starmer commissioned

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the audit in February after Musk called attention of the scandal.

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Monday's report suggests that an appalling lack of data about

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:54.080
<v Speaker 1>the perpetrator's ethnicity is one major failing of the UK's efforts.

0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Starmer is now announced to nationwide probe. The audit says

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:03.160
<v Speaker 1>it is not to want to examine the ethnicity of offenders.

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Authorities need to understand who the perpetrators are or quote.

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.280
<v Speaker 1>It will be less easy to identify cultural and other

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 1>drivers behind particular patterns of offending. The report notes, Oh

0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 1>my god, somebody in the British government, and you know

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 1>it's fairly rare. In the United States government has said

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 1>there are cultural norms in different cultures that differ from

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:30.800
<v Speaker 1>ours in the West, and some.

0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Of them are repugnant. I'm paraphrasing.

0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:38.879
<v Speaker 1>The report cites many examples where authorities deliberately avoided looking

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 1>at ethnicity or culture quote for fear of appearing racist,

0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:51.399
<v Speaker 1>raising community tensions, or causing community cohesion problems. That is well,

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:56.119
<v Speaker 1>first of all, it's suicide as a culture to do

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:59.879
<v Speaker 1>that correct. Secondly, it's just disgusting. How do you get this,

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:03.720
<v Speaker 1>how do you get there logically? Well, we're talking about

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:07.080
<v Speaker 1>underage girls being raped here. It's not like shoplifting, which

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:08.879
<v Speaker 1>is bad enough that I don't want to look like

0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a racist or something or erase engines in the community. Yeah,

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.200
<v Speaker 1>because these are mostly poor and working class girls who

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 1>are being raped and and forced to turn tricks and

0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>once they're in the clutches of the gang. Uh so, yeah,

0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:29.000
<v Speaker 1>let's not raise community tensions. There's so much of Europe,

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:31.280
<v Speaker 1>not all of it, but so much of it that

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 1>is allowed in damnation upon the generational leaders that allowed

0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:42.399
<v Speaker 1>the rampant immigration from uh, you know, the Middle East

0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and Africa and the rest of it. I'm sorry, I

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 1>lost my train of thought. Well they oh, that's right.

0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:56.520
<v Speaker 1>And having done this and being confronted with a cultural bully,

0:23:57.840 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 1>their strategy has been don't make the bully man. Please,

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 1>don't make the bullymad. They have gangs raping girls, well,

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to make them mad. That is just shocking.

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Information about ethnicity was missing in two thirds of the

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 1>cases recorded in national data. Some local police departments had

0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:22.200
<v Speaker 1>complete demographic data, and the auditors also looked at convictions.

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:25.399
<v Speaker 1>They found that men Ofvasi ethnicity made up a larger

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:27.879
<v Speaker 1>share of the grooming gang perpetrators and suspects than the

0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:31.200
<v Speaker 1>local populations. The auditor's caution limited data may not be

0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:35.199
<v Speaker 1>nationally representative, but it merits broader investigation. The audit is

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 1>especially critical of a twenty twenty government report that suggested

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:43.960
<v Speaker 1>quote the majority of offenders in sexual grooming gangs were

0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:48.439
<v Speaker 1>likely white. That report was quoted and re quoted in

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:52.400
<v Speaker 1>official reports, the media and elsewhere as proof that claims

0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>made about Asian grooming gangs are sensationalized or untrue. How

0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:01.920
<v Speaker 1>similar is that to the whole you know, transgender youth

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:05.200
<v Speaker 1>will kill themselves and the w path study points out

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the gender affirming care helps kids completely fictional.

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Well that's highly troubling.

0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:16.359
<v Speaker 1>Way, and Elon got murdered by the British press and

0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the lefty politicians in UK for pointing out how the

0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:22.359
<v Speaker 1>grooming gang scandal has been covered up. But then the

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:27.399
<v Speaker 1>lefty Prime Minister's own audit said, uh yeah, it turns

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:30.359
<v Speaker 1>out it's right man. Good for Elon in that one,

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:32.399
<v Speaker 1>because the press wasn't going to do that story.

0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty heavy for a Friday.

0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, what would be fun is a lot of

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:41.359
<v Speaker 1>snark about one of the world's richest mens ridiculously over

0:25:41.400 --> 0:25:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the top wedding that he's planning for this month. Yes,

0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:51.120
<v Speaker 1>that's the fella. I'm still waiting for the invitation. It's

0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:55.440
<v Speaker 1>probably just stuck in the mail. The Bezos super wedding,

0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:59.639
<v Speaker 1>The details have leaked. If I get invited, do I

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 1>have to intend all of the many multi day events.

0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:06.080
<v Speaker 2>For like it'll cost you six figures? Probably? Yeah, I

0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:07.760
<v Speaker 2>couldn't handle it. I can't.

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't pretend to be excited about this every day,

0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:16.000
<v Speaker 1>day after day, same thing. Oh so much pomp, stay

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:16.440
<v Speaker 1>with us?

0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Will I get free shipping in my wedding gift? That's

0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:22.120
<v Speaker 2>a good question, right there? Wow, wow, two day prim Yes,

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:29.160
<v Speaker 2>stay tuned, getting a high screen from Turner dribble Alowie's gonna.

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:33.399
<v Speaker 1>Take a long three rising connecting third three pointer for

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Tyrese Halliburton playing less than one hundred percent, I'm giving

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Indiana seventeen.

0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Point leads Tyrese.

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:45.040
<v Speaker 1>That's a wild coincidence. Rising and Connecting is my new

0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:48.520
<v Speaker 1>self help book we're publishing early in August. I think

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:51.440
<v Speaker 1>it'll really help you achieve the goals you dream of.

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Pacers won by twenty So now we're gonna have a

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Game seven in the NBA Finals on Sunday, which will

0:26:57.920 --> 0:26:58.560
<v Speaker 1>be very exciting.

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm actually gonna watch. I think sounds sounds cool.

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Only four times has not the home team ever won

0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 1>in a Game seven, also.

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Known as the visiting team.

0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:20.399
<v Speaker 1>If you will, oh boy, next hour, if you didn't

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:24.440
<v Speaker 1>hear it to Jack arguing like Tucker Carlson, also a

0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:30.360
<v Speaker 1>comedian with a routine Tucker Carlson arguing.

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:31.040
<v Speaker 2>With Tucker Carlson.

0:27:31.920 --> 0:27:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's become more of a cultural touchstone. Speaking of culture,

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 1>this is something now I may have over promised a

0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:43.160
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Some of the details are leaking about the

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:47.400
<v Speaker 1>bezos super wedding, but just a few. It's if they're

0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 1>very tight lipped. It's going to happen on an island

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:55.040
<v Speaker 1>in Venice. Already, alright, already, I mean that's all righty okay,

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:58.320
<v Speaker 1>good for you. And it is said to be raising

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the bar significantly over some of the other recent super weddings.

0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 2>For instance, here's this sit you.

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Feel the need to compete at stuff like that. I

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 1>just find so incredibly off putting, says the pauper moving

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:18.560
<v Speaker 1>along today. The new normal is a super wedding for

0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 1>the wealthiest people on Earth, akin to a music festival

0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 1>in size, with costs running into the millions. And they

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:28.159
<v Speaker 1>mentioned this power couple in India. Their wedding included a

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 1>custom built glass palace and a performance by Rihanna. Then

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:36.920
<v Speaker 1>you got Lionel Richie's gal a daughter and The Atlantic

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Record chief executive Elliott Grange in twenty twenty three. Their

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:44.000
<v Speaker 1>weddings spend multiple days in Antibbi's France, featuring Hope culture,

0:28:44.640 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Chanelle gowns, and an after party headlined by rock band

0:28:47.400 --> 0:28:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Good Charlotte and again the Bezos. Sanchaz union is said

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 1>to be raising the bar, says one planner, a luxury

0:28:57.200 --> 0:28:59.800
<v Speaker 1>wedding planner. It used to be about fireworks, then it

0:28:59.920 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 1>was about drones. Now it's shooting fireworks from drones. She's

0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>done weddings for celembs like Jennifer Lopez. A multi day

0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:10.640
<v Speaker 1>luxury wedding with two hundred guests now carries a price

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 1>tag of about four million dollars, according to Jamie Simon,

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:18.000
<v Speaker 1>director of events at luxury planning firm Banana Split, which

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:22.600
<v Speaker 1>brought the Grange wedding to life. Cowie says, he's oh,

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that's another guy that was quoted earlier has worked on

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 1>weddings that cost eight figures, that would be ten million plus.

0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Why why don't.

0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:37.560
<v Speaker 1>You just print out your financial statement and hand it

0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:40.600
<v Speaker 1>around because that's what you're doing, isn't it showing people

0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:43.840
<v Speaker 1>how wealthy you are, well, yeah, but you are with

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:48.160
<v Speaker 1>those people having a really good time, and so it

0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:52.120
<v Speaker 1>gains you even more cachet and probably invites this similar thing.

0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I understand a good time, but there are diminishing returns

0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 1>after a certain amount of money, Like I don't I

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:02.840
<v Speaker 1>think anything past couple thousand dollars, And you can't get

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 1>that much more fun going, can you?

0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh you lack imagine?

0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:11.840
<v Speaker 1>It's you, simple, simple to the beautiful, simple little man.

0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen to some of this stuff.

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 1>The costs include upscale vendors for everything from cocktail our

0:30:17.800 --> 0:30:22.320
<v Speaker 1>caviar to seventy five thousand dollars hanging installations to nightclub

0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 1>worthy sound and lighting. Well, I guess it depends on

0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 1>who you are. I would get no enjoyment out of

0:30:27.680 --> 0:30:31.040
<v Speaker 1>your seventy five thousand dollars hanging something or others. You're

0:30:31.040 --> 0:30:36.000
<v Speaker 1>not invited a bartender's tap mixologist to craft bespoke cocktails.

0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 2>You have food stylists.

0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Florists are working with drapery artists who add huge swaths

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 1>of fabric for additional layers of drama. See I find this,

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I actually do. This is not jealousy. I find it disgusting.

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I find that sort of opulent, self indulgent, conspicuous consumption

0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:56.040
<v Speaker 1>disgusting and immoral.

0:30:56.160 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 2>I really do. I'm not a socialist.

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't want, you know, anybody to take their money

0:31:02.640 --> 0:31:05.320
<v Speaker 1>or for anything like that, but I find it immoral

0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:07.280
<v Speaker 1>to do that sort of thing. I think it's like

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:10.920
<v Speaker 1>gluttony or lust or anything else. It's just it's too much.

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry.

0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:14.280
<v Speaker 1>The bride has asked me to tell you to get

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 1>on your mule and go, Clem.

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 2>You're not welcome here, all right, Get on your mule, Clem.

0:31:20.760 --> 0:31:24.440
<v Speaker 1>A luxury destination wedding takes a village to produce. Heywood

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:26.720
<v Speaker 1>in London, works with teams as large as five hundred

0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 1>people for the event. She plans, We've got eighty thousand

0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 1>rose stems here. Can you imagine how many people it

0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:35.280
<v Speaker 1>takes to condition those flowers. I don't even know what

0:31:35.320 --> 0:31:39.080
<v Speaker 1>that means beyond manpower to set up hey What also

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:41.560
<v Speaker 1>maintains a twenty person team to assist some small details

0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 1>like steaming bridesmaid's dresses. They also look after family VIPs,

0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 1>make sure the grandparents have a drink at all times.

0:31:50.520 --> 0:31:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Ba ba bah.

0:31:52.400 --> 0:31:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, I remember we had this story a couple of

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:57.760
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago about how many days are involved. There's like

0:31:57.840 --> 0:32:01.479
<v Speaker 1>an all day some sort of reception, and then another

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.240
<v Speaker 1>whole day different kind of reception, and then an entire

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 1>day of that kind of reception. It's just like in

0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a dance party at night, And even if I was invited,

0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I think, how many of these freaking things do I

0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 1>have to get dressed up for? Actually, there was one

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 1>of those things dramatized beautifully in at What's the Star

0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Wars Show? I was so excited about Mandalorian and Or

0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 1>and Or and Or. Yeah, it was a multi day

0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:33.760
<v Speaker 1>upper krusty wedding, But this planner says typical clients typically

0:32:33.800 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>hope to show guests something they've never experienced before. She's

0:32:37.920 --> 0:32:42.080
<v Speaker 1>built six hundred thousand dollars structures for wedding, rented ten

0:32:42.120 --> 0:32:45.680
<v Speaker 1>foot candelabras, and ordered custom furniture from Egypt. This guy

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 1>typically works with silk Flowers for overhead installations, which can

0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:53.240
<v Speaker 1>cost twenty five to seventy five thousand dollars. I would

0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:59.480
<v Speaker 1>like to know first the ratio of dollars spent to

0:32:59.680 --> 0:33:04.560
<v Speaker 1>likely hood, marriage lasts, or or even just happiness, Like

0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you're happy together? Okay, here here are my favorite ones.

0:33:10.280 --> 0:33:13.120
<v Speaker 1>More wealthy couples are opting for video mapping, where lighting

0:33:13.160 --> 0:33:16.400
<v Speaker 1>artists project three D images throughout a venue, immersive like

0:33:16.440 --> 0:33:19.360
<v Speaker 1>you're in different parts of the world. And this planner

0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 1>recently commissioned a half million dollar holograph of the bride's

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 1>deceased grandfather to share well wishes to the couple. Maybe

0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Alkita is right, Maybe we are decadent in the list.

0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe al Qaeda's right.

0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 1>You can get Paul McCartney, John Rolling Stones, Lionel Richie, anybody,

0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:43.760
<v Speaker 1>but Adele. Adele won't do weddings good to humiliating, good

0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>for I would agree if I got enough money, I'm

0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 1>not gonna go be your dancing monkey. If I'm Riana

0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:51.200
<v Speaker 1>or whoever, I don't need more money, I'm not gonna

0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 1>go perform the way you want me to perform for

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:55.880
<v Speaker 1>your wedding. Oh, I didn't even get into the dancing monkeys.

0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:58.479
<v Speaker 1>They're fifteen hundred bucks a pop and it's a minimum

0:33:58.560 --> 0:34:03.560
<v Speaker 1>of ten. So anyway, well, I'm sure we'll see lots

0:34:03.560 --> 0:34:06.040
<v Speaker 1>of pictures and videos from the Big Bezos wedding. We

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:08.719
<v Speaker 1>got more to come in our three. If you miss it,

0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:12.640
<v Speaker 1>gets the podcast Armstrong and Getty
