I don't want to 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.560 hear from you priests about international politics. I want to 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.720 hear everything you have to say about personal salvation and 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:07.200 Jesus No, that's sort of stuff. 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.160 Very interested.

Sorry, Pope, 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.080 that's a moronic position. 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:23.000 It is the. 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.120 Pacifist position that we're always talking about it. Lets the 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.800 grownups in the room handle the hard, dirty work of 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:30.520 keeping a nation or of people say oh. 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.360 We are against we are for peace, always for peace. 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.720 What if the other guy is trying to get a 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.600 nuclear weapon to kill y'all. I am for peace. That 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.319 doesn't make any sense. Be a grown up. I am 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.960 for peace. Okay, put on your fancy shoes and go 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.480 over there, talk about Jesus or something. Yeah, I appreciate 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.520 you being fired up about it. I just I hear it. 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.120 It's like, you know, a child's point of view on 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.520 what we she'd have for dinner. I mean, it's okay, 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:57.880 you know, we'll think about that. 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.720 And I'm pro pope, pro Catholic church. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:00.240 All. 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.800 That's the stuff. I just don't I I they were. 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.360 It was the feature story in sixty Minutes last night, 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.280 and nor Donald actually asked these bishops, what do you 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.920 say to people who don't want politics. 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:15.000 In there and their and their sermon on a Sunday morning. 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.880 And they had some gobbledygook about why it's important to 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.440 blah blah blah, And I thought, God, dang it, if 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.120 I'm going on a Sunday morning and I have to 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.440 listen to you rail against Trump and his policies. 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.560 No freaking away, I'm sitting there for that. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:32.040 No, oh my god, or ice, on and on about ice, 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.000 the evils of ice. Shut up, Read me a passage 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.760 from the Bible and explain to me what it means. 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:41.200 That's your job. It's just that old you know, progressivism. 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.040 Did you get to congratulate yourself for how enlightened you 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.520 are and ignore the fact that your policies, if they 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:50.760 were implemented, would be suicidal. But you do it smugly. 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.080 And I don't think Trump needs to take shots on 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.560 wine own the guy. But that's that's a problem we've 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.919 been dealing with time, the old lack of a filter 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.040 that's baked into the cake. But yes, exactly, he should 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:04.920 ignore it. That'd be the smart thing to do, just 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:09.359 because who cares what the pope says? But so blockade 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.359 the blockaders? Where did the blockade? Already starters has start 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.120 here in a couple hours, started less than an hour. Actually, 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:21.000 fans of blockades, this is very exciting. We're counting down 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:25.040 till the ten a m. Eastern time blockade of all 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:30.000 the Iranian ports, which was a suggestion brought up last 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.560 week I mentioned this think tank person that said, why 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.400 aren't we making sure no Iranian ships can come in 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.600 and out? They're making more money than they made before 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.920 the war started. It seems like somebody heated that advice 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.240 and thought, yeah, why are we letting their ships go 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:43.720 in and out? 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.400 How about yah ships go in and out. 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.880 What they're doing is almost precisely what you described last 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.800 week in the Wall Street Journal editorial board was talking 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.160 about it as well, Yeah, all right, ain't nobody making 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:52.680 any money? 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.200 Now, what are you going to do? It's an escalation. 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.520 Stick that in your turbine and smoke it. Call that 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:03.320 blockade like that would? I thought that was good. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.200 That was a good one. That was great. I don't know. 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.960 It didn't make any sense taking shots at all the religions. 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.160 That's not good. What's the matter? I know what I control? 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:12.680 I don't know. 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:13.200 I'm into it. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.320 I'm into it. I like it. 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.600 It's an interesting, uh information later on how many there 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.160 are of whoever and whatever religion that I just dug 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.479 up last night after I was listening to some of 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:23.960 the stuff. 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.240 If I think you'll find fascinating. We'll get to that later. 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.559 I'm dressed whoever whatever, that's a little vague, like pool 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.320 queues and motor cars or what. 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.120 Can you religion? 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.840 On the topic of religions, Oh like how many people 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.360 are in Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I see. I am 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.200 dressed for the Springsteen concert. I dressed the way he's 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.440 been dressing in the concerts. Black dress, shirt, black jeans, 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.120 red uh, Doc Martin's that's why he's been dressing. So 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.599 I'm dressed like Bruce Springsteen to go to the concert tonight. 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.120 Why have you decided to do that. I'm old, but 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:56.200 not near as old as him. 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.320 I don't know. I just I've always done that. 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.200 I'd dressed like David Lee Roth if I'm going Van 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:05.080 Haleen just whatever, seriously, No, I just I saw him. 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.839 I saw a video of him at in La, and 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:08.560 I thought, I have that same outfit. 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.680 I'll just wear the same thing. Wow. 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.680 Private meeting Katie seems a little fan boyish to me, 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.840 little little weird, a little. 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:16.360 Bit, man. 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.000 I'll tell you what, I've been watching some of the 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.520 When he about a third of the way through the concert, 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:21.920 he comes out and he sits down on the end 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.040 of the stage and he says, we're living through some 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.600 hard times, and then he starts in on what's wrong 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.680 with Trump and everything? And I think, oh, that's my 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.800 bathroom break. That's when I go get in line to 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:33.360 get a slice. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.240 Of pizza and use the restroom. I am not going 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:35.960 to sit through that. 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:42.640 Played fireside chat, fireside chat on politics with Bruce. 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:43.479 Oh lord, I. 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.760 Don't want him or the rock stars and popes just 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.120 shut up about the politics. 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:48.839 Do you think he'll do that before the lead end 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.320 of his Minneapolis song. 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.240 I think that's where he puts it. Yeah, okay, Oh 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.760 that's a rough ten minute period there. The other three 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:58.440 hours and I'll be I'll be okay. 0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:58.640 With the music. 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.960 That part will be a little rough. My kids are 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.719 going to be scrolling their phones. Everybody's going to be 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.160 the other. The part will be bars. Everybody around me 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.800 in San Francisco will be cheering like crazy, Yeah Trump, 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:12.840 I guess, I don't know. 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:16.600 Just also tiring. It is. 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.120 It is whether you're watching a baseball game or going 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.560 to church or a rock concert, you have to hear 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:23.359 about politics. 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.280 That's just the world we live in. We're scrolling through 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.320 really anything. I'd like to ask Bruce what. 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.599 Do he thinks he's accomplishing because I have a feeling. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.520 I've heard the answer many times from like your Hollywood stars, 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.719 and they say something to the effect of, well. 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.880 I have this platform and I just feel like I 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:40.520 have to use it. 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.400 And I'd say, well, okay, that's your end of it. 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:46.080 Do you think anybody's mind is changed? That's your screed. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:47.840 That's a good way to put it that. Do you 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.359 think anybody learns anything? 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.000 I understand your end of it. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:54.880 Is it just an opportunity for you to connect with 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.000 people who agree with you, essentially, and you just don't 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:02.039 give a flying whatever about the many millions of people 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.280 that don't agree with you. You just figure you don't need 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.240 cut their customers, or I would guess that most people 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.480 like him. They just can't even imagine there's more than 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.440 like three people in any arena that wouldn't agree with 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:19.280 what he's thinking. And they're angry, stupid bigots. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, exactly, Yeah, 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.880 I bet you're right. No communicating with them. They're the trolls, 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.120 hardly anybody and they're bad people anyway, So right right, 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:29.480 the go awesome, that's fantastic. Well, can we start to 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.600 show officially we should probably do that man, there's lots 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:32.960 of news of the day, and who knows how this 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:37.600 blockade's going to go. England's against it, China's against it, 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.440 lots of people are against our blockade that we're starting today. 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.160 I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. It is Monday, 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.840 April thirteenth, the year twenty twenty six, where Armstrong and 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.120 getting we approve of this year program. Let's leap in 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.160 action then officially, according to SEC rules regulations, here we 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:53.080 go at mark. 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.760 You want to see a stock market go down, let 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.200 a couple of nuclear bombs be dropped on us or frankly, 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.600 any place out and you'll then you'll see a stock 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.520 market that goes down. So the stock market has not 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.320 gone down very much at all, got down a little 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.720 bit much less than I thought. And the frankly, the 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.680 gas hasn't gone up as much as I thought. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.880 This ongoing conversation about whether or not they were trying 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.400 to get a nuke or how close they were to 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.440 a nuke is driving me nuts. And I got into 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:29.600 an argument with chat GPT yesterday afternoon over the JCPOA 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.160 that was the agreement the Obama administration put in place 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.040 with the Iranians. I got into an argument with chat 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.280 GPT because I thought it was wrong, and so I 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:40.079 actually went to Claude and Jim and I for more 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.720 information and kept coming back at chat GPT until it 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.199 basically agreed that I was right and it was wrong. 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:46.280 Wow. 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.560 Yeah, but it came out with the political position about 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.040 how the Obama agreement was perfect. It would have been 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.160 just fine if we'd left it in place. Only Trump 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.120 completely wrong. They were gonna talk about this later because 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.640 everybody should remember they were cheating on this agreement. They 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.880 were working to get in a clear weapon. They were 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:04.200 never gonna stop until. 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.680 They got one. Yeah. 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:11.360 The AI systems large language model learning model thingies garbage in, 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.440 garbage out. It's a perfect example of it. They mind 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.640 the mainstream media, so they get mainstream opinions which are inaccurate. 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:17.200 In this case. 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:18.840 You know what you gotta do. You got to like 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:23.560 gossip about chat GPT with Claude. That's a good Gemini, 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.720 that's a good idea. And I tell you who's not smart, 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.959 no intelligence, artificial or otherwise, that idiot Chat GPT. Huh, Hey, 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:32.800 could you give me this information about how they were 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.280 trying to get around the inspections because or at chat 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.160 GPT you won't believe this is actually telling me. And 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.120 then get him into a battle, yes, like like Trump 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.280 and the Pope. Just get them harp, you know, sniping 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:44.800 at each other. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:47.160 Be fantastic. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.160 We got some interesting stuff actually, AI wise about how 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.360 Joe brought this up some last week. There's more over 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:58.960 the weekend about how some of these ais are going 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.200 to go out into all our computers to harness our 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:07.200 prosperous processing power and memory storage because they don't have enough, 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.520 secretly without us knowing it, so they can build their 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:15.439 I don't know, their another world, right yeah, yeah, exploit 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.079 us while we sleep bastards, or turn us into zombies, 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:19.480 or I don't know what they're gonna do with I 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.720 had an email address, an email account hacked over the weekend, 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.480 my own stupidity. I should tell that story. I thought 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.160 I was immune to falling for anything like that. What'd 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.800 you fall for? Oh it was Ni and Prince. I 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.160 figured you were above that. Well, no, lottery. I won 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:35.600 the lottery, as it turns out, I just had to 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:40.040 pay the taxes and events. No, it was a phishing scam, 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.880 a party invitation from a guy who I'm going to 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:49.400 be very near. When I visited an old place I 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.400 used to live, and I thought, oh, yeah, okay, he 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:53.720 knows I'm going to be in town because a lot 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.840 of people do, and wanted to invite me to a party, 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:57.920 and so I had to sign invia. You could sign 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:02.480 in VIA and it was like a two step authentication thing, which. 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.200 In retrospect, I was half asleep when I did this. 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:05.240 It was first thing in the morning. 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.000 In retrospect, no, you never, you don't need to actually 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.720 sign into your account to like register through an account, 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.840 but I did, and I used my password and then 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.440 it did the thing. And so the interesting part of 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.080 this is and I got it all fixed, and then 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:20.560 when you came home from the story, you couldn't get 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.360 in your house, and your car's gone and your wife's with. 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:23.760 A different guy. No. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.559 No, That's why I don't believe in smart anything. Place dumb. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:30.319 I want a dumb thermostat, a dumb doorbell whatever. Anyway, 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.800 but the most interesting part of it was that when 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.560 they hack your account, they automatically, you know, they have 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.560 software that does this, put filters on your account so 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.480 that all of your incoming email goes to trash or 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.880 spam so that you won't see any of your friends asking, hey, Joe, 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.640 is this legit? Because it harnessed my email address to 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.320 send out a bunch more spam, and so it all 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.120 went straight to trash. The filters were any email that 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.760 contained the letter A or any email that contained the 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:00.360 letter C. But thanks to an AI system able to 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:01.840 figure out what to do and how to do it 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.320 and got my address back and got rid of all 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:06.360 those filters. 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.960 And stuff that sucks. 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:14.960 It was a stressful, wasteful hour and a quarter hour 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.000 and a half fixing it. 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.880 Yeah, you spend an hour and a half on it. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:23.520 Yeah, and I had like good assistance, unreasonably competent technically, 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.360 So yeah, I was actually as I was stressed and 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.840 pissed off and pissed off at myself. I was picture 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.760 of some poor eighty year old who's not particularly computer 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:32.199 sending me. 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.920 Didn't notice it happened. You just have to close the account, 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:35.960 I guess. I don't know. 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.560 Get your organ's harvested is probably what would happen. So 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.000 we've got Katie's headlines on the way. We've got more 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:45.000 news of the day while we're on the air.

So they 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:22.000 sent jd Vance to Islamabad, Pakistan, along with Jared and 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:26.119 Woodkoff to meet with some Iranian leaders. First face to 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.920 face meetings between the US and Iran since the Hole 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.040 taking our hostages thing back in seventy nine. 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:37.440 Pretty big deal.

So we're going on 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.639 and they actually all got on the plane and left, 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:53.879 while while the negotiators are the mediators there in Pakistan 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:57.360 were claiming for a while that they're ongoing and there'll 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.560 be another round of talks on Sunday and blah blah. 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:00.760 No, everybody got on the plane. 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.600 And left immediately, sending the signal that Okay, you're not 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:04.600 even serious about this. 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:05.720 We're going home. 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:12.880 I feel like maybe that was Trump taking the last ditch, 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:18.880 maybe so he'd feel good about himself effort to negotiate 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.640 before he unleashes the holy hell that he has promised. 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:22.840 I don't know. 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.400 But then you move toward today, and you've got the 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.960 blockade of the strait that the United States is going 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:32.360 to attempt to pull off so that Iran can't let 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.880 some ships go through that some ships have been paying 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:38.479 the tolls. Plus you got the stuff that benefits Iran 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.280 going through that they've been letting in and out. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:42.560 Of course, which seems ridiculous, they've. 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.840 Been making They Iran has made more money since the 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:46.800 war started off the straight of horror moves than they 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.520 did prior to the war starting, which is a stunning 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:53.760 stat So, getting back to the negotiation just briefly, it 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:58.920 strikes me that sending Jared and Witkoff and jd all 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.560
