WEBVTT - A What Hole?

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:19.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 3>The NBC and CBS pulling has the Democrat Party's fair

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:32.959
<v Speaker 3>abilities in the twenties. Chuck Schumer is fighting for his

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 3>job here on the hel and they're taking this nothing

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 3>story and trying to blow it out proportion. And every

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 3>time something like this happens, they call on the Republicans

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 3>to resign. But yet we heard nothing on them calling

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 3>on a vegetable that was ruling the country for four

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 3>years to resign.

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 4>Friend of the Armstrong and Getty Show, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen,

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 4>doing what you got to do for your team. This

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 4>nothing story, it's not a nothing story.

0:00:59.320 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 4>It's not watergnal scandal. That's right, it's not Watergate either,

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 4>but it's not a nothing story. And if you haven't

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 4>heard this, so Jeffrey Goldberg, not liking being challenged on

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 4>the whole what were they war plans or not?

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Thing? Has released and was it classified or not?

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, was released a whole bunch more of the signal

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:22.680
<v Speaker 4>chat showing that it is absolutely war plans. Now you know, again,

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 4>how long this scandal lasts, I don't know.

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>And number one did Mark Wayne Mullen just called the

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 1>former president of vegetable I believe so, Yes.

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 4>It's overstated it somewhat but close and had it Yeah,

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 4>non compassmentus definitely, but not quite a vegetable Anyway.

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Where were we?

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 4>Ah?

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes, So last hour we were criticizing the Trump administrations

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>handling of this crisis because they're they're fighting it and

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>calling Goldberg a crackpot and saying there was nothing classified.

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't battle plans. And the more it gets released,

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>the more they just they should have said, hey, it

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>was a mistake, miscalculation, We've learned from it.

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>It will not be repeated.

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Thank you to mister Goldberg for his restraint in not

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>publishing the particulars to protect our troops.

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 2>It would have been over over over.

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 4>I wonder if some of this is lawyer stuff where

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 4>we can't admit they were battle plans, because then we

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:20.359
<v Speaker 4>have committed a crime.

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>Wow, and we're in trouble. I'm looking up at CNN.

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 4>They've got more of this and says Intel chiefs testify

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 4>as group chat fallout grows.

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.239
<v Speaker 2>Do you think the group chat fallout is growing still? Uh? Yeah,

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 2>it is.

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Today just because of those details in the Atlantic. I

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.639
<v Speaker 1>mean that again, I don't think would have come out

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>most of them if they had just confessed to their

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>sins and mistakes and moved on. I mean, it was

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>a great strike, successful for a good reason, and you

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>know it certainly could have endangered our pilots what they

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>did and how they did it.

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>So, oh my god, really uncool.

0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 4>You talk a scandal if somehow because the one dude

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 4>was in Russia while was this going on anyway, if

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 4>they've been able.

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>To give it cough.

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, if somehow the Huthi's had gotten tipped off and

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 4>you could connect any dots that it made a difference.

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Wooh, then this would be really a scandal, right.

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I just if you live long enough, friends and a

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of you have. You know, sometimes you say I

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>screwed up, I'm sorry, it's on me, and.

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 2>That makes things go away in a way. Anyway.

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 1>So we got a little bit of a reaction this

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>from uh Paolo. It's clear that stupid concerning mistakes were made.

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Read them, Yeman strikes. Why aren't they trying to spend

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the particulars of the mistakes, and so unconcerned with making

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>it clear that they're lying to save face. Even if

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>you believe everything they're saying, they still look incompetent. Uh yeah,

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I agree. Obviously we got this from Kelly and Kansas.

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>The Trump administration has already confirmed the signal meeting. Why

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>do we need every detail of who's responsible? The Democrats

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.839
<v Speaker 1>have never admitted or taken responsibility for, or been held

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>to account for anything. Hillary's private emare tapes in clinton

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>sock drawer, Biden's unsecured classified documents, leaders of leakers of

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the Dobbs opinion, open Southern Border, et cetera, et cetera.

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>So Sparris, the fake outrage Democrats, Well, that's politics, fake outrage. Yeah,

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>and Kelly, I want my team to win. As we've

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>said before, I often liken it to sports talk. My

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.840
<v Speaker 1>quarter throw quarterback throws three consecutive interceptions. I'm gonna say, hey,

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>he needs to be more careful. That doesn't mean I

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>liked Kamala Harris or that I want the Trump administration

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>to fail.

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 2>They just have to do a better job. I don't

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.280
<v Speaker 2>even know if you need to go that far whose team?

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 5>What?

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 4>Just let me know. I don't even need to know

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 4>the team. All those things were bad, including this one.

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Right agreed? Yeah, you're right.

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Are they utterly inconsistent hypocrites? Yes, Kelly, Yes, they are

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>my friend one hundred percent. So moving along. You know

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs. I still haven't

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 1>seen that. Dang Nan old Timothy or Shallomey movie. Dylan movie.

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh you haven't. You'll like it? And I thought I

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>would hate it. I swear to god it.

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Every time I think of going to a theater, I think, no,

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>they showing the Joe Getty story, and I would think

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>people talk.

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 2>And they rattle their their rappers and stuff, and now.

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 4>Unknown recordings of childhood athletic heroics they put in a film,

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 4>and you think, nah.

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 1>No, what Getty hero to millions now in theaters? Ah wait,

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:34.159
<v Speaker 1>let's on Netflix. What keeps you out of the theater?

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, just the whole experience of getting there

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>and driving, parking, waiting and sitting and watching a bunch

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 1>of heads and then somebody's talking.

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.160
<v Speaker 2>It's funny you are with that the way I am

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>with flying. I hate flying. I hate it. I'm not

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 2>scared of it or anything like that.

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 4>Just the whole thing, the driving, the parking, the bag,

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 4>the security, just all of it.

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I hate, Yeah, I sympathize anyway.

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 2>So where were we?

0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Bob Dylan, that's right, I'm tempted to tell a story.

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Isn't a side, but I want one of my favorite

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Bob Dylan songs from his Christian phase. I can't remember

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 1>what album might have been, Slow Trained Coming Is, or

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's on Infidels, I don't know is Man of Peace,

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and the key line in it is sometimes Satan comes

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>as a man of peace.

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Did you know this?

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 4>Bob Dylan born a Jew, living a Jew all of

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 4>a sudden in the mid seventies. It happened in Albuquerque.

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.039
<v Speaker 4>I think I was reading about this the other day

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 4>in a hotel room. He gets struck by the by

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:37.599
<v Speaker 4>Jesus and he goes full hundred percent Christian for quite

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 4>a few years.

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 2>You got to save somebody.

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:42.559
<v Speaker 1>It may be the devil and it may be the Lord,

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>but you kind of have to save something.

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 4>You might be the heavyweight champion of the world. You

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 4>gotta serve somebody, that's right. Anyway, Sometimes Satan comes as

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 4>a man of peace. Sometimes Satan comes as a protector

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 4>of children. And I speak of the teachers' unions suing

0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 4>the Trump administration this week for trying to a ball

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 4>the Education Department, which is not a surprise because the

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 4>Department of Education, as we've been detailing in the recent days,

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 4>was created at the behest of the teachers unions by

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 4>Jimmy Carter, who knew at the time it was a

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 4>bad idea. He said, so Democratic Congress people we've quoted

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 4>saying this is not a good idea.

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>And the Department of Education has mainly served to advance

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the agenda of the teachers union for more spending and

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 1>less accountability through the years. They are perhaps have been

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>formed with honest aims of protecting teachers and making sure

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>teachers are paid adequately and not fired arbitrarily. I get that,

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 1>but they have absolutely become what Bob Dylan was talking about.

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>They have become a force for evil, and they would

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>feed children into the wood chipper, perhaps not literally, but

0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>damn close to profit. I speak of Randy Weingarten, not

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>your data day teachers, many of whom are very very

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 1>good people, but the unions have become unspeakably evil.

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 2>And if you don't know how it works.

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>So among the chief duties of the Education Department is

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to dole out federal money, which is somewhere around ten

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>percent of all education spunding funding. Rather spending funding spunding,

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I combine them. Ninety percent is state and local government.

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>But as ms McMahon, Linda McMahon, who's running and soon shutting,

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I hope the Education Department points out, quote, a lot

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 1>of the funding that goes into the states now goes

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.679
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of red tape, a lot of strings

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:41.319
<v Speaker 1>attached to it. And the Trump administration, and I want

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.319
<v Speaker 1>you to hear this loud and clear. If you have

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.959
<v Speaker 1>heard the local Teachers Union, which represents probably some of

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>your friends and neighbors, say, welssa's going to yank the

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>money away from the special needs kids and the poorer kids.

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:58.080
<v Speaker 1>You're going to have poor legless children starving because they

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>can't get lunch at school sort of thing. Here's the

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 1>evil aim of the Trump administration. They want to make

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 1>sure that quote the funding continues, but that the states

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.679
<v Speaker 1>are allowed to spend the money where they need to

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.400
<v Speaker 1>spend it, instead of where the federal government says they

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.199
<v Speaker 1>must spend now the federal government which is dancing to

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the tune of the teachers' unions.

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 2>I hadn't heard this. This is not being covered well.

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 1>And you know what's really interesting, this is some great perspective.

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.679
<v Speaker 1>The bigger problem may be that the federal funding program

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.000
<v Speaker 1>for disadvantage students has a near perfect record of being

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>ineffective in improving outcomes. It is absolutely shoving money down

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:37.679
<v Speaker 1>a rat.

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Hole whatever that means. What hole in nineteen sixty six?

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Rat hole? Rat hole?

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen sixty six, a year after Title one was

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to give you the history. It's federal

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 1>funding of education was created. A frustrated Robert F. Kennedy,

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>not the new super tanned buff one with the weird voice,

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the old or the original the og exclaimed, what happened

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>to the children? Do you mean you spent a billion

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 1>dollars and you don't know whether they can read or not?

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Thirty five years later, Rod Page, you served under George

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 1>W echoed that sentiment. Quote after spending one hundred and

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty five billion dollars of Title I money over twenty

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>five years, we have virtually nothing to show for it.

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 2>It' sect the War on poverty a similar situation.

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 1>He's spent gazillions of dollars and haven't moved the needle

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>poverty one. So as guardians of the status quo, quoting

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the Wall Street Journal, Now, teachers' unions want the government

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 1>to force children into the school's union's control, and the

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Education Department is currently constituted helps him advance that agenda.

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>The money continues to flow with little or no accounting

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.680
<v Speaker 1>whether it's being used responsibly, let alone effectively. Before you

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 1>buy the argument that mister Trump's effort to eliminate the

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Education Department will be detrimental to students, you need to

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:55.199
<v Speaker 1>buy the argument that.

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 2>The department's creation.

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Had anything to do with improving student outcomes.

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 2>That's a hard sell.

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>As usual, teachers' unions are acting in their own interests

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>while pretending to act in the interests of students and families.

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 2>It's highly frustrating.

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.439
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes Satan comes as a teachers union representative.

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:17.720
<v Speaker 2>End of screed.

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 4>So my new favorite band name is Belgrade Sound Cannon.

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you why that is coming up, among other things,

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.319
<v Speaker 4>stay tuned, Armstrong.

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 2>And these are not savings, they're schemes.

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 5>I would just buying toy paper the other day, and

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 5>it was a five dollars discount if you had the

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 5>digital coupon. Now, to get that coupon, I had to

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 5>first download an app for Vaughan's. Then I had to

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 5>sign up for an account. Then I had to scan

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 5>the proper code to get the digital coupon, And once

0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 5>I was at the cash register, she had to manipulate

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 5>my phone to figure out where the barcode was.

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 2>This is ridiculous.

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 4>Ah okay, that's what they're talking about. I've been in

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 4>line behind people this with it slows down the line.

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 4>San Diego who first city to ban these digital lonely coupons,

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 4>which that guy there says a scam. I would never

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 4>I've never done that. If you're gonna make me like

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 4>make an account and sign up, I just know I'm

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:11.679
<v Speaker 4>getting stolen from.

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 2>So San Diego is banning them.

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Why you can't ban that as a city and business

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.600
<v Speaker 1>can do what it wants if it says, look, you

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>jump off through all these hoops, we'll give you five

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 1>bucks on your toilet off your toilet paper.

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.680
<v Speaker 4>If you're willing to let us steal all your personal information,

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 4>we'll give you five bucks off. But that's a deal

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 4>you make with all kinds of websites. I feel like

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 4>I do like long, I feel like I do like

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.359
<v Speaker 4>one a day. Right, sound for another thing with another password,

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 4>and make the trade off of there's benefits to this

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 4>versus I know what the downsides are. NET sure a

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 4>bunch of emails from companies I've never heard of.

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Now, Well, and the nice lady there on Fox five

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>in San Diego. Her tone of voice implied that, well,

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>every American deserves that five dollars off, and I demand

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the right to not have to do that stuff for

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>my five dollars off.

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:03.319
<v Speaker 2>No, it's a quid pro quo.

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 1>They want access to you to promote their grocery store,

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and in return for you giving them that means they're

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>giving you five bucks off on your toilet paper. That's

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:20.559
<v Speaker 1>the oh Man meddlesome America. Now, now we're gonna outlaw

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 1>that because I don't like it. Then we're kind of

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:23.839
<v Speaker 1>outlawed that because I.

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Don't like it.

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Okay, I got a couple of stories for you

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 4>that don't need a whole bunch of time. Each Serbian

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 4>sound cannons. I like the sound of that better than Belgrade.

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:39.199
<v Speaker 4>Belgrade in Serbia, Serbian sound Belgrade but whatever, Okay, Bellground said,

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:40.960
<v Speaker 4>what happened to vaguely European.

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 2>It's got sound in it. Cannon implies power, So.

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 4>We won't get into the politics of Serbia. But they

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 4>got problem the president. Big protest they think is corrupt,

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.080
<v Speaker 4>trying to drive them out office. That had huge, just

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 4>absolutely huge demonstrations. Well thousands and thousands were gathered in

0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 4>Belgrade the other day to protest the president. Then all

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 4>of a sudden, something I've seen the video, something caused

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 4>the crowd to like part and run away, and you

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 4>can't really hear anything or seeing anything. And there are

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 4>kinds of reports that the government used one of those

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 4>weird sound wave things that maybe you've seen demonstrated online.

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 4>Sixty Minutes had it years ago where they showed it

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 4>like the Havana syndrome thing. I don't think so, it's

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 4>I remember when sixty Minutes demonstrated. It's like a it's

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 4>like a wave of sound.

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>That was heat.

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 4>But it's it's sure, yeah, it's just it's a sound

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 4>might be the wrong way to describe it. You hear something,

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 4>but that's not what makes you run away. You hear

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 4>loud noises all the time don't make you run.

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 1>And this is energy. It's some sort of energy. Yeah,

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 1>that makes you freak out and run away.

0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 4>This woman had never heard anything quite so alarming and

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 4>disturbing in a protest as a sound that broke a

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 4>commemorative silence during a huge anti government rally in Serbia's capital, Belgrade,

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 4>it was quiet and peace well, and then we heard

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 4>something we could not see, like a sound rolling Towrdoise.

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 4>People started rushing for safety toward the payment, feeling that

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 4>something was moving towardoise down the street. Wow, so that's

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 4>not just a sound. The perception that something's moving toward

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 4>you down the street wouldn't just be a sound. I mean,

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 4>I've heard a lot of really really loud.

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Sounds in my life, and you instinctively find it menacing.

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 4>Hundreds of others offered similar accounts, triggering accusations at the police, military,

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 4>or security services. Or somebody used an acoustic crowd control

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 4>weapon to target peaceful protesters. These weapons are illegal in

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 4>Serbia in most places. Well, they're illegal until you decide

0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 4>you need to use them. We'll probably use them on

0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 4>the battlefield, you know, against the Chinese. Someday and them

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 4>some weapon against us that we've never heard of anyway.

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 4>They can trigger sharp ear pain, disorientation, ear drum ruptures,

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 4>even irreversible hearing damage.

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Yikes.

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 4>And the president is denying it, saying if I use

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 4>something like that, I'd be driven out of office immediately. Okay,

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 4>Well that's what they're trying to do, is drive you

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 4>out office. Yeah huh right, said the protesters. I find

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 4>this interesting, Serbius. Police and government deny possessing the US

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:19.680
<v Speaker 4>made long range acoustic device l RAD when presented with

0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 4>photo blah blah blah blah blah. So they might have

0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 4>had this thing that we invented, and then one.

0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Other the drones and this and the laser beams and microwaves.

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 4>Well, the next war is going to be You'll constantly

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 4>in the next big war, you'll constantly be reading about

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 4>weapons you didn't even know existed. How much time I got,

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 4>Michael Oh wanted to jam this in. Okay, got another

0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 4>unpleasant story. Probably doesn't need much time. Former NFL running

0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 4>back just busted in a dog fighting ring.

0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Thing. One hundred and ninety pit bulls uh seized.

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 4>It's the biggest single bust of dog fighting in American

0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 4>history against one guy. Horrifying detail that I won't get into.

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 4>But what is it with NFL players and dog fighting?

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Who's the dude?

0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.199
<v Speaker 4>I'd never heard of him? He played six years in

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 4>the NFL with a bunch of different teams. Lashawn Johnson,

0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, wow, crutal.

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:15.959
<v Speaker 2>I'd say armstrong and getty.

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.840
<v Speaker 4>I tended to get sidetracked by our last story that

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:24.440
<v Speaker 4>he did wrote before the commercial break, but just so ahead,

0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 4>just say this underappreciated cultural differences among different segments of society.

0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 4>They busted this dog fighting ring. Former NFL player he

0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 4>had one hundred and ninety dog whose biggest single dog

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 4>fighting bust in US history? But just I mean, how

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.439
<v Speaker 4>many people had to be involved in the running of that,

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 4>and then how many people are involved to make it

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.160
<v Speaker 4>worthwhile to have one hundred ninety dogs? I mean, there's

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 4>gotta be thousands and thousands and thousands of people that

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:54.040
<v Speaker 4>are participating and attending and betting on for that to exist.

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Has to be quite a few people. Anyway, I don't

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.360
<v Speaker 1>know that it needs to be that many, but well,

0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 1>certainly hundreds and hundreds it have to be. Yeah, it

0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 1>would be beneficial.

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.879
<v Speaker 4>And who do you know that wouldn't just be absolutely

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:14.280
<v Speaker 4>shookingly horrified if they had to watch something like that,

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 4>let alone enthusiastically participate.

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Right, I mean, you talk about a cultural difference.

0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:23.639
<v Speaker 4>I know, I know way more people that would cry

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:28.919
<v Speaker 4>hearing this story than I've ever known that would enjoy watching.

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Right. Yeah. Yeah.

0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>One of the most useful and simple explanation of culture.

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Explanations of culture I've ever come across. Who the heck

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 1>wrote this name will pop it into my head. Culture

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 1>is how we do things around here. It's as simple

0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:51.719
<v Speaker 1>and complicated as that. What's a husband's relationship with his

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:55.920
<v Speaker 1>wife in our culture? What's our relationship with a police officer?

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.240
<v Speaker 1>That's our relationship with the government. How do we treat

0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.280
<v Speaker 1>each other when we pass a a stranger? How about

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:05.280
<v Speaker 1>a friend? How does one religious denomination interact with the other?

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:09.439
<v Speaker 1>That's all culture. Do you pet your dog and you

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:13.639
<v Speaker 1>love dogs and you like donate to rescue operations? Or

0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:15.880
<v Speaker 1>do you have animals fight each other to the death

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 1>for your entertainment and gambling?

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:19.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it's hilarious cultural difference.

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:22.920
<v Speaker 4>I gotta believe I don't know this, but I would

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:26.879
<v Speaker 4>assume that the crowd that can watch dog fights is

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:32.840
<v Speaker 4>also more okay with like domestic violence and violence in general. Shure,

0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:34.919
<v Speaker 4>non kids or what I gotta be, doesn't it?

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Sure? Yeah? I think so. Oh that's horrible anyway.

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 1>There are very few cultures around the world that have

0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:46.160
<v Speaker 1>horrifyingly violent entertainment of this sort that.

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Aren't more violent just in general.

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Right anyway, speaking of violence and horror, I know what

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.880
<v Speaker 1>you're thinking, same thing I've been thinking forever. When are

0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.239
<v Speaker 1>we going to get like a horror movie version of

0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Mickey Mouse? Okay, nobody's ever thought that, but Michael, I

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 1>guess apparently there's something like that out these days. Set

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:07.639
<v Speaker 1>sail for an adventure like no other meat Steamboat Willie.

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:12.359
<v Speaker 2>He's wacky, he's wicked, and he's whistling his way into

0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 2>your heart. Literally, O d.

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.400
<v Speaker 3>All aboard the Staton iveand ferry.

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 2>They're all going to die when their dream voyage turns

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:41.000
<v Speaker 2>into a nightmare. This is no fairy tam please please

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Steamer Screamboat. Screamboat.

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 4>So if you're not familiar, Mickey Mouse originally was Steamboat

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 4>Willie nineteen twenty eight. I just looked it up almost

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.720
<v Speaker 4>one hundred years ago. The first Disney cartoon with Mickey Mouse,

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 4>and they're calling it scream boat Michael.

0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Is that a parody because the voiceover doesn't fit with

0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:02.840
<v Speaker 2>like an actual attempt to And.

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 1>They're going to get sued for using steamboat Willy in

0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:06.240
<v Speaker 1>their advertisement.

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:10.920
<v Speaker 4>It might be public domain at this point, it's almost

0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 4>one hundred years old.

0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:13.199
<v Speaker 2>It's not a parody.

0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:18.439
<v Speaker 6>They're and they're calling him screamboat Willie.

0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Have you ever seen the stuff that becomes at the

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 4>first of the year. I always think this list is

0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:28.159
<v Speaker 4>interesting stuff that becomes public domain, and it's different limits

0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 4>for different things, but like songs, books, poems, videos, that's

0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.399
<v Speaker 4>the rules we have in the United States. After a

0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:37.560
<v Speaker 4>certain amount of time, it's just out there and anybody

0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 4>can use it for whatever they want to.

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Use it for. It's an interesting idea. Well, some people

0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>are against it, some people are for it.

0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 6>And the director of this is actually a pretty great

0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:48.639
<v Speaker 6>horror director. He did the Terrifier series, which if you're

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 6>a horror fan.

0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 2>You could have made that up. As far as I'm concerned,

0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't have the horror fans. No, I'm not making

0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:54.080
<v Speaker 2>it up.

0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:56.160
<v Speaker 6>It's a great it's a it's a series of horror

0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:58.040
<v Speaker 6>movies and they're fantastic.

0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Huh, okay, you could bond with my son.

0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 2>He's crazy into that sort of stuff.

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Encyclopediachnology writes, like serious treatises on those series and what

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.880
<v Speaker 1>they mean, and ei they're effective and it's crazy anyway,

0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 1>So moving along, at least somewhat thought this was interesting.

0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Joanna Stern writes a popular tech column and her headline

0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:26.719
<v Speaker 1>is I quit Google Search for AI and I'm not

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:31.000
<v Speaker 1>going back. Oh wow, I love this, And obviously she

0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:35.879
<v Speaker 1>goes into how ads and search optimized junkies made a

0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:36.760
<v Speaker 1>mess of Google.

0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's amazing.

0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 4>Like last night I was, I Googled a particular car dealer,

0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:45.680
<v Speaker 4>like the name of it, and I get eight other

0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:50.440
<v Speaker 4>options first, right, Yeah, that's ridiculous.

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:51.679
<v Speaker 2>That's not what Google used to be.

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and she goes into, you know, the history of

0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 1>it and how it got kind of gummed up in

0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the rest of it. I think we're all fairly familiar

0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 1>with that. At she says, with AI chatbots, it's really

0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 1>like having that personal search Butler Chat, GPT, Microsoft Copilot

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:10.520
<v Speaker 1>and Perplexity have real time web access, generating responses with

0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 1>citations to external websites.

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:13.120
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Last week Anthropics Claude joined the club and Google's testing

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.119
<v Speaker 1>in AI mode built into search.

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:26.920
<v Speaker 4>Woway, I need a smart person. Maybe I'll ask U

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:31.080
<v Speaker 4>my sitter house sitter. They're good with tech. I need

0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:32.680
<v Speaker 4>somebody to walk through how I get this on my

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:34.359
<v Speaker 4>phone so I can use it. I absolutely would use

0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:36.399
<v Speaker 4>this instead of Google. Uh.

0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's it's actually fairly easy because they have apps

0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:39.359
<v Speaker 1>in the app Store.

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:45.800
<v Speaker 2>But when is AI better? She says, I try to

0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:46.720
<v Speaker 2>list all the places.

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:53.479
<v Speaker 1>AI search beats old school search, shopping, people recipes, how tos,

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 1>movie recommendations, places to stream a recommended movie. The rundown

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:02.640
<v Speaker 1>was longer than a CVS receipt, she said, that's long.

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh so instance, who's streaming this movie?

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:11.399
<v Speaker 4>Google's only going to give you the places that paid

0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:13.399
<v Speaker 4>them to be at the top of the list. There

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:15.359
<v Speaker 4>might be other places that are cheaper or free.

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Sure, sure it doesn't sprize.

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.440
<v Speaker 1>It is AI search the death of the Blue Links.

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I'd say it's more a makeover than funeral. She writes.

0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Yes, these bots spar us from the click through marathons,

0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:27.480
<v Speaker 1>but if they are good at grabbing useful information from

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the web, you'll get links you actually want to click.

0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:32.120
<v Speaker 1>For instance, I asked all of the chatbots the same

0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:35.960
<v Speaker 1>crucial parenting question, what three D printer under five hundred

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:38.000
<v Speaker 1>dollars should I buy my seven year old?

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 2>And the results were very, very useful.

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Without a bunch of gummed up sales crap. Old school

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Google search was exactly what you'd expect, sponsored links, promoted products,

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:54.439
<v Speaker 1>links to best buy Amazon, YouTube videos, took several clicks

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to even get a baseline of credible options. And if

0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:00.080
<v Speaker 1>you think I'm picking on Google bing was just as bad.

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is the free market at worked.

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:03.880
<v Speaker 4>This is similar to the conversation we had last hour

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:06.680
<v Speaker 4>about the whole coupon thing that you were rent and

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:07.399
<v Speaker 4>raving about.

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:11.360
<v Speaker 2>This is fine. You know Google did that. They went

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:11.880
<v Speaker 2>too far.

0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 4>They have practically killed the golden goose, I think, and

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:18.200
<v Speaker 4>it's going to drive a lot of us to try

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:20.120
<v Speaker 4>something else, and then they'll probably have to back off

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.480
<v Speaker 4>their sponsorships if they want to keep people around.

0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I needed to read a sentence and make a confession.

0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 1>For some searches like when is the first day of

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:31.960
<v Speaker 1>spring or the airtime of the Severance finale, the first

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:34.040
<v Speaker 1>answer is all I need. I was griping, I think

0:25:34.040 --> 0:25:36.520
<v Speaker 1>it was yesterday about how I was watching Severance and

0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:39.359
<v Speaker 1>it seemed to have a story arc that might continue forever.

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, I could have.

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:43.879
<v Speaker 1>Just Googled it or aied it or something and realized that,

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 1>oh no, no, the season, the end of season two

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:48.800
<v Speaker 1>is the end of the series, and the finale's going

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:49.680
<v Speaker 1>to air tomorrow.

0:25:49.920 --> 0:25:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh it was decisive, It was.

0:25:55.040 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Wild, satisfying, great sci fi ish twist. No spoilers here,

0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:04.639
<v Speaker 1>but I apologize for questioning the creative geniuses behind the

0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:05.399
<v Speaker 1>behind this.

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:07.879
<v Speaker 4>They're in a booth at a pizza place and it

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:09.639
<v Speaker 4>just goes black and a journey song starts.

0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh you saw it anyway, So that's up with AI?

0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:17.800
<v Speaker 1>When is Google better? And she writes, here's an easier

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:21.040
<v Speaker 1>list to draw. What Google Search is still good for

0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:24.360
<v Speaker 1>for starters? Links to any web page you already know exists,

0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Adam Scott's IMDb page.

0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:29.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who Adam Scott is.

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Bob from Accounting's linked in a story you vaguely remember

0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 1>calling Bluie a juggernaut. Google's still your go, Tom. And

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:43.639
<v Speaker 1>while AI tools can recommend local restaurants and shopping, Google

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:47.160
<v Speaker 1>still excels at showing you accurate maps, addresses, and hours.

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Interesting. Yeah, huh, I do think Google. I'll get used

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:56.199
<v Speaker 2>to this as it comes on.

0:26:56.359 --> 0:26:58.119
<v Speaker 4>Google pushed it too far and they're gonna have to

0:26:58.160 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 4>pare it back if they don't want to lose everybody

0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 4>to to something else.

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Interestingly, now and smartly, Google has its own AI.

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so they get either way, they get you.

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:11.920
<v Speaker 4>Theoretically, Amazon has gone too far too But there's no

0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 4>competition for Amazon, which is what some people are arguing

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:15.680
<v Speaker 4>it's a monopoly or whatever.

0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:16.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so.

0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:19.679
<v Speaker 4>But man, you search on some specific thing and you

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:21.520
<v Speaker 4>get nineteen other.

0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Choices first, or your first twenty seven links are sponsored,

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:28.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, okay, there it is for less per

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:31.440
<v Speaker 1>item with free shipping four pages in. Yeah, it's gotten

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:35.919
<v Speaker 1>a little obnoxious than come on, Jeff, Jeff Zebasos.

0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:39.639
<v Speaker 4>Nobody had comments on the fact that the world's first

0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:42.840
<v Speaker 4>of all, how many times do I ever hear Elon

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 4>Musk's name without World's richest man attached to it in

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 4>the news?

0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:48.960
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't, and talked about it yesterday.

0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:51.960
<v Speaker 4>Elon Musk, the World's richest man, thinks we need to

0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:56.400
<v Speaker 4>cut back social security checks. It's either a good idea

0:27:56.520 --> 0:27:59.640
<v Speaker 4>or not. His personal wealth has nothing to do with it.

0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:04.359
<v Speaker 4>He ought to give away a couple hundred billion dollars.

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 4>So he's the world second richest man, because if you're

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:08.320
<v Speaker 4>the world second richest man, you can do whatever the

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:12.600
<v Speaker 4>hell you want Beizo seems to care mostly about looking

0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:15.800
<v Speaker 4>cool and yachts and hot chicks and stuff like that.

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:19.560
<v Speaker 4>He gets knocked never for being the world's second richest man.

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Right right.

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 1>He's tried to reform the Washington Post at least a

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit, which is going to fail, but I appreciate

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the effort. Oh. Speaking of which, we got an email

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:29.120
<v Speaker 1>from a guy the other day. I wish I could

0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.240
<v Speaker 1>give him credit. I don't remember the name, but pointing

0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:33.240
<v Speaker 1>out that, all right, you hear twenty times a day.

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk is the world's richest man. But MBS in

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Saudi Arabia has multiples of Elon's money, multiples. Vladimir Putin

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 1>is believed to be, if not the richest man on earth,

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:47.960
<v Speaker 1>among the richest men on earth. So Elon is the

0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:52.600
<v Speaker 1>richest guy whose income and wealth is disclosed earned.

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:54.960
<v Speaker 4>That's what I go with, and that's why we'll continue

0:28:55.000 --> 0:28:57.120
<v Speaker 4>to call him the world richest man. While that is

0:28:57.160 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 4>technically true and interesting, I'm giving no credit to people

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:02.200
<v Speaker 4>who are thugs and thieves.

0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:06.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, the world's my most financially successful man would

0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 2>be yeah, one way to put it, you know, and

0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:10.800
<v Speaker 2>he is.

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 4>I think he'd have to give away like I haven't

0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:15.200
<v Speaker 4>looked recently. I'll look it up, but like three hundred

0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 4>billion dollars to drop the second place. He has really

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:21.760
<v Speaker 4>got a lot of money. He's likely, he's only fifty

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:24.400
<v Speaker 4>two or something. He's likely to become the first trillionaire.

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 4>Weighty hits a trillion, you know how people like round numbers.

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that'll really be a big deal. Then he's super evil.

0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:35.160
<v Speaker 1>A trillionaire is trying to cut your government services.

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:37.920
<v Speaker 4>Right. I was listening to MSNBC this morning. They said,

0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 4>do you think Elon Musk, the world's richest man, has

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 4>any idea what it's like for a grandmother's three hundred

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 4>dollars social security check to matter?

0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 2>All right?

0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:53.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, right, unless I'm also poor, I can't imagine it'd

0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 4>be impossible. Right, we'll finish. No, we're not done yet.

0:29:56.920 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 4>I almost thought we were done.

0:29:58.040 --> 0:29:58.680
<v Speaker 2>How do you like that?

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:02.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh, it's like when you wake up and you think

0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:06.720
<v Speaker 4>it's Saturday and it turns out it's Tuesday. No more

0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 4>of the waste to hear.

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 7>So the task force is going to bring together all

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:19.560
<v Speaker 7>of the cases in attacks against Tesla facilities, vehicles for

0:30:19.720 --> 0:30:23.560
<v Speaker 7>charging stations across the country. So that'll be FBI agents

0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 7>working with ATF agents. Now ATF has the premier lab

0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:31.560
<v Speaker 7>when it comes to solving ARSON cases in the country,

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:37.400
<v Speaker 7>along with intelligence analysts, to develop a unified case intake

0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 7>system so that they can track the cases and use

0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:43.720
<v Speaker 7>those intelligence analysts and investigators to find out is there

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 7>a connection between the attacks, the attackers, or any particular network,

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:50.720
<v Speaker 7>and to make sure that they are gathering evidence and

0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:52.080
<v Speaker 7>driving towards prosecutions.

0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:55.520
<v Speaker 4>You can't claim CNN, for instance, isn't taking the attacks

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:58.920
<v Speaker 4>on Tesla seriously because they've been going pretty big on it.

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:01.680
<v Speaker 4>It's domestic terrors and it should get a lot of attention.

0:31:02.160 --> 0:31:04.520
<v Speaker 4>And we let this slide, you know, the other side

0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 4>will do it or other causes and it'll just grow

0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:07.960
<v Speaker 4>and grow and wrong and it will be happening all

0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:13.600
<v Speaker 4>the time. Absolutely undeniable. Yep, this stat yesterday bothered me.

0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:18.720
<v Speaker 4>Consumer confidence index was down seven point two points, biggest

0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:25.440
<v Speaker 4>drop in three years. So or go back to twenty one,

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 4>so that's four years middle of the pandemic. So didn't

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.520
<v Speaker 4>like seeing that several months in a row.

0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Two? Yeah, what's that based on the whole tar thing?

0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, and people have maxed out credit cards.

0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Uh, defaults are on their eyes.

0:31:40.400 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 1>There are just savings are at a low since you

0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 1>know several years ago. There are just a number of

0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:46.800
<v Speaker 1>not so great indicators.

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:51.840
<v Speaker 4>Colorado, their state houses agreed to remove the quote bad

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:55.000
<v Speaker 4>painting of Trump after he complained about it.

0:31:55.400 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what I think about this painting.

0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Painting deliberately painted to make him look fatter.

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:11.880
<v Speaker 2>It's gotta be it looks like a fat little baby.

0:32:11.960 --> 0:32:14.640
<v Speaker 4>But was that the person's best effort or you think

0:32:14.640 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 4>it was delivered? First of all, I'm amazed that anybody

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:22.160
<v Speaker 4>can ever sketch or paint someone and make it look

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:24.840
<v Speaker 4>enough like them that you would know what was them.

0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:27.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's just stunning to me. Stunning.

0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:31.280
<v Speaker 4>But if you're walking through that Hall of the Presidents,

0:32:31.280 --> 0:32:33.840
<v Speaker 4>there's not one person that would say, who's that?

0:32:34.360 --> 0:32:35.560
<v Speaker 2>You know it's Donald Trump.

0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 4>It's just an odd painting of him, and I just

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:41.720
<v Speaker 4>think of lots of paintings I've seen, or that MLK.

0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Memorial they've got in Washington, d C. It doesn't Oh,

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:46.440
<v Speaker 2>is that who that is?

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:49.920
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't look anything like MLKA that If you told

0:32:49.960 --> 0:32:53.720
<v Speaker 4>me who's this, I wouldn't have been able to guess.

0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:57.600
<v Speaker 4>So, And that wasn't on purpose to make MLK look bad.

0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:00.480
<v Speaker 4>It just was an artist rendering that didn't go. Oh well,

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 4>right anyway, I don't think Trump's out of line to say,

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:06.480
<v Speaker 4>can I get one that's not quite so roundheaded?

0:33:10.240 --> 0:33:14.520
<v Speaker 1>He really looks like a fat toddler Trump. It reminds

0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:16.800
<v Speaker 1>me of that big Trump and a diaper that was

0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 1>popular in Europe there for a while.

0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh right, a big balloon. Yeah.

0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Can I throw in one more quick note on

0:33:23.600 --> 0:33:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the AI thing we were talking about a minute or

0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>two ago. The journalist points out that while I'm in

0:33:28.600 --> 0:33:31.239
<v Speaker 1>favor of shifting the stale search paradigm, I do have

0:33:31.280 --> 0:33:34.920
<v Speaker 1>AI reservations. These systems hoover up answers from the Internet,

0:33:35.040 --> 0:33:38.920
<v Speaker 1>but rarely push you to the original source. Your trusted

0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:42.120
<v Speaker 1>sources of information, like her publication in the Wall Street Journal,

0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:45.560
<v Speaker 1>stand to lose visibility, subscribers, and traffic. If too many

0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:48.920
<v Speaker 1>online platforms suffer, will end up losing the open web

0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 1>in exchange for one big answer machine with zero citations

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:53.959
<v Speaker 1>or accountability.

0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:58.880
<v Speaker 2>It's an interesting way to look at it. Yeah, it is.

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:02.360
<v Speaker 4>And you said you're going to sign up for some

0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 4>AI and start dabbling. I think that great. I've been

0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:05.960
<v Speaker 4>promising to do it, but I haven't. I've let the

0:34:06.000 --> 0:34:07.720
<v Speaker 4>show down. I haven't done it yet.

0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, again, mostly for search purposes. I love the idea

0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:17.160
<v Speaker 1>of like playing around with image creation or video creation

0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:20.400
<v Speaker 1>with the prompts, or music creation, I suppose, but honestly

0:34:21.280 --> 0:34:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I should at least spend a day on it or something.

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I would rather make real music or watch the birds

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:29.280
<v Speaker 1>flying back and forth or whatever.

0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:32.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't need writing do that, but I would

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:35.320
<v Speaker 4>love to get into spend more time with various AI chatbots,

0:34:35.760 --> 0:34:39.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, asking it questions about historical facts or whatever,

0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:43.240
<v Speaker 4>and just seeing kind of answers. Again, I'm pretty interested

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:44.839
<v Speaker 4>in that, and I certainly read about it A lot

0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:49.239
<v Speaker 4>came across the shoesh today. I'm going to throw it out.

0:34:49.600 --> 0:34:51.319
<v Speaker 4>One of those sayings you see every now and then.

0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:52.080
<v Speaker 2>I really liked this.

0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:56.040
<v Speaker 4>If you're worried about the cost of going for it,

0:34:57.200 --> 0:34:59.799
<v Speaker 4>you should see the price of staying exactly where you are.

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Mm I like it. I thought that was fantastic, Speaking of.

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic, more intormation to come during our four. Wait what,

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't get our four? You've got to go somewhere.

0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 2>That's fine. Grab it later.
