1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. 2 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 2: Michael Arry's show is on the air. 3 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 3: It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoke. 4 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 2: I can feel a good one coming on. 5 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 4: It's the Michael Berry Show. 6 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 5: Any attempt to restrict drinking and driving here is viewed 7 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 5: by some as downright undemocratics. 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 6: Two six packs shinnered not a nanci it pu tell. 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 4: That one must has described himself on multiple occasions in 10 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 4: a manner that if you know anything about this, you 11 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 4: would have noted yourself. It's just his willingness to embrace 12 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 4: it and discuss it openly, is his social awkwardness, and 13 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 4: that he is somewhere, as we say, on the spectrum. 14 00:00:54,120 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 4: This spectrum of it would include autism or a form 15 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 4: of autism, and it goes out to Asperger's And if 16 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 4: you know anything about that, I think there are a 17 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 4: number of people, to varying degrees who walk among us 18 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 4: who can seem emotionally disconnected, or can seem almost dead inside, 19 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 4: or can seem to not understand when they say something 20 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 4: why it's bothersome to other people. And it could be 21 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 4: something that is offensive, or it could be a lack 22 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 4: of empathy. And I think that this is endemic to 23 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 4: the human condition. We're all different. Some of us run faster, 24 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 4: and some of us can lift more, and some of 25 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 4: us can climb better, and some of us can process 26 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 4: certain types of problems better than others. 27 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: Some of us have a facility for language. 28 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: Some of us. 29 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 4: We have varying degrees of energy levels. And some of 30 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 4: that is we're born with it, and some of it's 31 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 4: what we eat in nature versus nurture. But Elon has 32 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 4: a very analytical mind, and yet he also has in 33 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 4: that analytical mind an incredible ability to communicate, which is 34 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 4: not typical of people who have a brain processor like 35 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 4: he does. His CPU sitting up above his shoulders is 36 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 4: on a different scale. The fact that he has created 37 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 4: the companies he had, He didn't found Test that already existed, 38 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 4: but he took it to the next level. And with SpaceX, 39 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 4: either one of those alone would be a mammoth accomplishment. 40 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: His ability to buy Tests, to. 41 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 4: Buy Twitter and quickly understand the coding challenges and fire 42 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 4: all those people and figure it out and keep it 43 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 4: running and now it's profitable again, despite the ad industry 44 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 4: trying to break him. His political calculations for a guy 45 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 4: who had no real political experience. Oh, by the way, 46 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 4: did I mention the boring company and that they're boring 47 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 4: underground and doing some pretty amazing things. And I didn't 48 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 4: happen to mention what would have been for most people 49 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 4: a full time job. His neuralink, which is attempting and 50 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 4: he claims, is going to be able to go from 51 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 4: you think it to it happens without any steps in between, 52 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 4: on a level that we've never seen before. And I 53 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 4: say all that to say, now, let's have Elon be 54 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 4: And Elon's fallible like everyone else. He puts his pants 55 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 4: on one leg at a time, I presume. But his 56 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 4: ability to describe what has gone wrong in this country 57 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: is incredible for a guy who did not study debate, 58 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 4: or who did not study constitutional systems political science, and 59 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 4: doesn't have the years of experience that someone who has 60 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 4: studied that would have. And I don't know that they 61 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 4: could have explained this social phenomena the way he has. 62 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 4: This is him describing the unelected fourth branch of government, 63 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 4: and that is unconstitutional. 64 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: That's the constitutional crisis at. 65 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 3: A high level. 66 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: If you say, what is the goal of dose or 67 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: And I think a significant part of the presidency is 68 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: to restore. 69 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: Democracy. 70 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: Lets may say it seems like, well, are we in 71 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: a democracy, Well, if you don't have a feedback with EPX, 72 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: we would have to if you, sorry until you gravitas 73 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: can be difficult sometimes. So if there's not a good 74 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: feedback loop from the people to the government, and if 75 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: you have rule of the bureaucrat, if the bureaucracy is 76 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: in charge, and what meaning does democracy actually have If 77 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: the people cannot vote and have they will be decided 78 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: by their elected representatives in the form of the President 79 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: and the Senate in the House, then we. 80 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 3: Don't live in a democracy. We live in a bureaucracy. 81 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: So it's incredibly important that we close that feedback we 82 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: fix that feedback group, and that the public, the public's 83 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,239 Speaker 1: elected representatives, the President of the House and the Senate, 84 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: decide what happens as opposed to a large unelected bureaucracy. 85 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: This is not to say that there aren't some good 86 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: There are good people who are in the federal bureaucracy. 87 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: But you can't have an autonomous federal bureaucracy. You have 88 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: to have one that is responsive to the people. That's 89 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: the whole point of a democracy and so and if 90 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: if you looked at this, if you look the powders 91 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: today and said, what do you think of the way 92 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: things have turned out? Or we have this unelected, fourth 93 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: unconstitutional branch of government, which is the bureaucracy, which has 94 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways currently more power than any 95 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: elected representative, and this is there's not something that people want, 96 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 1: and it's not it does not match the will of people. 97 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: So it's just something we've got to we've got to fix. 98 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: And they've also going to address the deficit. So we've 99 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: got a futullion dollar deficit. And if this, if we 100 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: don't do something about this deficit, the country is going bankrupt. 101 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's really astounding that the the interest 102 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: payments alone on the national debt exceed the defense department budget, 103 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: which is shocking because we've got a lot of we 104 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: spend a lot of money on defense, and if that 105 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: just keeps going, we're essentially going to bankrupt the country. 106 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: So what I really going to say is like, it's 107 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: not optional for us to reduce the federal expenses. 108 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: It's essential. 109 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: It's essential for America to remain solvent as a country, 110 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: and it's essential for America to have the resources necessary 111 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: to provide things to its citizens. 112 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 3: And not simply be so. I was saying vast amounts 113 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: of dad that. 114 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 4: It's not a very charismatic speaker necessarily. He's also, as 115 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: he said, Gravitasi's heart. He's standing next to President Trump 116 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 4: in the White House, in the Oval Room, in the 117 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 4: Oval Office. There's a lot of history there, and that's 118 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 4: not lost on him. But I really feel this is 119 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: a golden era in America where it's like spring. They 120 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 4: out of the cold, seemingly dead ground, out of this 121 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 4: earth is blossoming our new Republic, and it just feels right. 122 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 4: It just feels good, and I know you feel it. 123 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 4: I have people who come up to me and say 124 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 4: to me or email me, and they tell me. I 125 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 4: wake up in the morning and I can't wait to 126 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 4: see the news. What exciting new thing is happening that 127 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 4: we never believed could happen. Will it be Will it 128 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 4: be an America hostage who's released from Russia. Will it 129 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 4: be a department that was wasteful that's been exposed and 130 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 4: shut down. 131 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: Will it be dollars return to the taxpayers? 132 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 3: What will it be? 133 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: Today? 134 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 4: These are good, good times and it's I'm just glad 135 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 4: to be here to get to enjoy it from. 136 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 3: A duck king of Ding and this other guy, Michael Barry. 137 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 3: These are the kind of guy you like to smacking ass. 138 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 4: The thing is that AI has allowed Elon's doge team 139 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 4: to do and it's it's a tool, right, It's an instrument. 140 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 4: They just know how to use it well, is to 141 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 4: go into these clunky computer systems in our government and 142 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 4: with the proper code they send this spider I think 143 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 4: it's called through the system and they pick out things 144 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 4: that are basically cancers. So here he is talking about 145 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 4: the fact that social security checks are going out to 146 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 4: people who are, for instance, one hundred and fifty years old. Well, 147 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 4: of course there's nobody alive that's one hundred and fifty, 148 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 4: So that means that social Security checks are being sent 149 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 4: to someone who's cashing them and not alive. So who 150 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 4: is the person who's cashing them. You've got multiple there's 151 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 4: no d duplication, so you've got the same social Security 152 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 4: number being used multiple times. And he's pointing out we 153 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 4: don't know how much fraud there is in there, but 154 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 4: just a d duplication or the fact that duplication is allowed, 155 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 4: and we can. 156 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 2: Spot how many times there are. 157 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 4: AI is exposing the amount of waste in just one 158 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 4: little piece of all of this. 159 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 2: Folks. 160 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 4: We shouldn't be running a deficit in this country. We 161 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 4: shouldn't have a multi trillion dollar debt, and we shouldn't 162 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 4: even be running a deficit per year, which is just crazy. 163 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 2: This is absolutely insane. Anyway, here he is saying it. 164 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: If money is spent badly, if your tax payer dollars 165 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: are not spent in a sensible approval manner, then that's 166 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: not okay. Your tax dollars need to be spent wisely, 167 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: not the things that matter to the people. I mean 168 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: these things like it's just common sense. It's not it's 169 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: not Cryconian or or radical. I think it's it's really 170 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: just saying this, look at each of the expenditures and 171 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: say is this actually in the best interest of the people, 172 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: And if it is, it's proved, but if it's not, 173 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: we should think about it. So, you know, there's crazy 174 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: things like just crossory examination of social Security. 175 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 3: And we've got people in there at one hundred and 176 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 3: fifty years old. Now do you know anyone there's one 177 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty. 178 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: I don't, okay, they should be on the Guinness Bok 179 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: the world records. They're messing out, so you know that's 180 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: the case, where like I think they're probably dead it's 181 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,599 Speaker 1: my guess, or they should be very famous, one of 182 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: the two. And then that a whole bunch of soci 183 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: security payments with is no identified identifying information. 184 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 3: Well why is there no identifying information? 185 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: Obviously we want to make we want to make sure 186 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: that people who deserve to receive social security, do you 187 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: receive it, and then to receive it quickly and accurately. 188 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,479 Speaker 4: I have referred several times this week to its springtime 189 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 4: in America. It's like the cold, harsh earth is yielding 190 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 4: its bounty of a new season flowers, color, beauty, life, hope, optimism. 191 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 4: Mark Fogel was an American school teacher who in twenty 192 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 4: twenty one with a trace amount of marijuana which had 193 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 4: been prescribed to him by a doctor or chronic pain. 194 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 4: And he had diplomatic community as a teacher, but when 195 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 4: Biden came in, that immunity was stripped away. And this 196 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 4: was Putin's way of telling America that Biden is jacking 197 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 4: with me, and I'm going to jack with you. And 198 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 4: this is the reason that now Putin has released Fogel 199 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 4: because Trump is president. And by the way, they're trying 200 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 4: to say, it's a criticism of Trump that he has 201 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 4: great relations with Vladimir Putin. Shouldn't we want our leader 202 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 4: to have great relations with Vladimir Putin? Have you ever 203 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 4: watched two neighbors get into a spat, try to drag 204 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 4: you into it, and they're getting into a spat over 205 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 4: the dumbest things, and you go, do you over lost? 206 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 4: How much time and energy you're wasting? That's what we 207 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 4: were doing. That's what we were doing. And Trump has 208 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 4: brought that none. Trump is a deal maker. 209 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 7: You know. 210 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 2: We can each go our separate ways. 211 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 4: And you've got more potatoes than you need, and you're 212 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 4: tired of eating potatoes, and I've got more corn than 213 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 4: I need eat and I'm tired of eating corn. And 214 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 4: we can go our separate ways because we argued over 215 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 4: exactly how much corn would be traded for potatoes, or 216 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 4: we can figure it out and get it done. And 217 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 4: now I got potatoes to put with my corn, and 218 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 4: you got corn to put with your potatoes. 219 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 2: And now we got a deal. 220 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 4: And everybody's happy, right. No, Ramon, there's no meat in 221 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 4: this analogy. There's no meat in this analogy. Please stay focused. 222 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 4: It's no and there's no bread. No, you got you 223 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 4: got potatoes and you got corn. That's that's the transaction. 224 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 4: It's a very simple transaction. We got to keep it 225 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 4: simple for the sake of the analogy. Here is Mark Fogel, 226 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 4: and I want you to hear who he says, the 227 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 4: hero in all this is. This is what we should 228 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 4: demand of our leaders. We should demand every leader be Trump. 229 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 4: Trump's not a religion, He's a human. The problem is 230 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 4: our baseline was so low, our expectation was so low 231 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 4: that Trump looks like a god. We should demand more Trumps. 232 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 4: We should accept nothing less than Trump's. This should be 233 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 4: our anyway. Here's Mark Fogel, Thank you, Donald Trump. 234 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: I want you to know that I am not a 235 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 2: hero in this at all. And President Trump is a hero. 236 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 8: These men that came from the diplomatic service are heroes. 237 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 8: The senators and representatives of past legislation in my honor 238 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 8: to get me home are the heroes. I am in 239 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 8: awe of what they all did. My family has been 240 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 8: a force. I think my ninety five year old mother 241 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 8: is probably the most dynamic ninety five year old on 242 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 8: earth right now. And I am so indebted to so 243 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 8: many people. I think I remember a Churchill quote that 244 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 8: he said when the RAF was fighting to lift off it. 245 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 3: He said that never have so many owed so much 246 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 3: to so few. 247 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 8: And I put myself, fortunately and unfortunately into that category, 248 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 8: and I said, never has won owed so much to 249 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 8: so many. That this super organism of people that came 250 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 8: to my support. 251 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: And the love that I was given. 252 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 9: Sustained me for three and a half years. 253 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 8: In prison, that had me in hospitals for more than 254 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 8: one hundred days. I was given more than four hundred 255 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 8: injections in that time, and knowing I had the support 256 00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 8: of my fellow Pennsylvanians, my family, my friends, it was 257 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 8: so overwhelming that it brought me to my knees and 258 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 8: it brought me to tears. 259 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 7: But it was. 260 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 9: It was my energy, it was my being that kept 261 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 9: me going that whole time. 262 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 3: And I will forever be indebted President Trump. 263 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 8: To Steve over there, what a dynamic man as gay is. 264 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 2: It's morning in America. 265 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 3: Listen to the Michael Berry Show podcast if you dare, But. 266 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 2: This morning I was talking about. 267 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 4: You know, women love to tell men that they need 268 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 4: to emote more and talk more, and listen more and 269 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 4: pay attention to the silly little drama between the girl 270 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 4: who are arguing over who's going to host the party 271 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 4: at the end of the little league season, and they 272 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 4: want their husband to care after he drove an hour 273 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 4: and a half to work this morning so that the 274 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 4: kid could be in a good school district and not 275 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 4: have to be in an inner city school district, and 276 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 4: an hour and a half home, and his job is 277 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 4: tough and he's exhausted, and she wants him to get 278 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 4: home and be another one of her girlfriends where she 279 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 4: can talk and he'll say, well, get me some rose 280 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 4: girl and we'll just chat away. Well, that's not who 281 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 4: he is, and that's not what you married, and frankly, 282 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 4: you'd be bored of him if he was. So stop 283 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 4: telling your man what he needs to be and love 284 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 4: him for who and what he is, and be grateful 285 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 4: for the things that he does and doesn't say, be 286 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 4: grateful for the actions he takes. 287 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 2: You know, that goes two ways. He's trying, he's. 288 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 4: Trying to dress up and you know, be a little 289 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 4: more expressive, But how about you be grateful for the 290 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 4: man he is, the things he fixes, the things he 291 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 4: does for you, the protection he provides. 292 00:17:58,840 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite lists. 293 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 4: Or husband's the CEO of a big company in Houston, 294 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 4: and she said, send me a message after the show 295 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 4: this morning. She said, when you were talking about wives 296 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 4: noticing how our husbands love us and the actions they take. 297 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 4: I turned to him and said, honey, I see how 298 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 4: you love me every day. I was met with silence 299 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 4: for about a minute. Then he looked at me and said, 300 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 4: I'm waiting for the butt. She said, cyh. It truly 301 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 4: was a complete sentence. 302 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 2: Isn't that funny? 303 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 4: We talked about Elon Musk and how Doze was used 304 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 4: to quickly identify waste, fraud, and abuse. So I wanted 305 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 4: to share a portion of Vice President Vance's speech on 306 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 4: AI while in France. During his speech, he made it 307 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 4: very clear that Trump administration will ensure that America will lead. 308 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 6: The field in this endeavor Number one, This administration will 309 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 6: ensure that American AI technology continues to be the gold 310 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 6: standard worldwide, and we are the partner of choice for others, 311 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 6: foreign countries and certainly businesses. 312 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 9: As they expand their own use of AI. 313 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 6: Number two, we believe that excessive regulation of the AI 314 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 6: sector could kill a transformative industry just. 315 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 9: As it's taking off, and will make every. 316 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 6: Effort to encourage pro growth AI policies. And I like 317 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 6: to see that deregulatory slaver making its way into a 318 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 6: lot of the conversations this conference. Number three, we feel 319 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 6: very strongly that AI must remain free from ideological bias 320 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 6: and that America AI will not be co opted into 321 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 6: a tool for authoritarian censorship. And finally, number four, the 322 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 6: Trump administration will maintain a pro worker growth path for 323 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 6: AI so it can be a potent tool for job 324 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 6: creation in the United States. 325 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 9: And I appreciate Prime Minister Modi's point. 326 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 6: AI I really believe will facilitate and make people more productive. 327 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 6: It is not going to replace human beings. It will 328 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 6: never replace human beings. And I think too many of 329 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 6: the leaders in the AI industry when they talk about 330 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 6: this fear of replacing workers, I think they really miss 331 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 6: the point. AI we believe is going to make us 332 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 6: more productive, more prosperous, and more free. The United States 333 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 6: of America is the leader in AI, and our administration plans. 334 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 3: To keep it that way. 335 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 6: The US possesses all components across the full AI stack, 336 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 6: including advanced semiconductor design, frontier algorithms, and of course, transformational applications. Now, 337 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 6: the computing power this stack requires is integral to advancing 338 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 6: AI technology. 339 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 9: The safeguard America's advantage. 340 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 6: The Trump administration will ensure that the most powerful AI 341 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 6: systems are built in the US with American designed and 342 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 6: manufactured chips. Now, just because where the leader doesn't mean 343 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 6: we want to or need to go to alone, of course, 344 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 6: and let me be emphatic about this point. 345 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 9: America wants to partner with all of you, and. 346 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 6: We want to embark on the AI revolution before us 347 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 6: with the spirit of openness and collaboration. But to create 348 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 6: that kind of trust, we need international regulatory regimes that 349 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 6: fosters the creation of AI technology rather than strangles it. 350 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 6: And we need our European friends in particular to look 351 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 6: to this new frontier with optimism rather than trepidation. Now, 352 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 6: the development of cutting edge AI in the US is 353 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 6: no accident. By preserving an open regulatory environment, we've encouraged 354 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 6: American innovators to experiment and to make unparalleled R and 355 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 6: D investments of these seven hundred billion dollars, give or take, 356 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 6: that's estimated to be spent on AI in twenty twenty eight, 357 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 6: over half of it will likely be invested in the 358 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 6: United States of America. 359 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 3: Now, this has fustration. 360 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 9: Will not be the one to snuff out. 361 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 6: The startups and the grad students producing some of the 362 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 6: most groundbreaking applications of artificial intelligence. 363 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 9: Instead, our laws will keep big. 364 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 6: Tech, little tech, and all other developers. 365 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 9: On a level playing field. 366 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 6: Now, the President's recent executive order on AI, we're developing 367 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 6: an AI action plan that avoids an overly precautionary area 368 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 6: regulatory regime while ensuring that all Americans benefit from the 369 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 6: technology and it's transformative potential. Now, we invite your countries 370 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 6: to work with US and to follow that model if 371 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 6: it makes sense for your nations. However, the Trump administration 372 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 6: is troubled by reports that some foreign governments are considering 373 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 6: tightening the screws on US tech companies with international footprints. 374 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 6: Now America cannot and will not accept that, and we 375 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 6: think it's a terrible mistake, not just for the United 376 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 6: States of America, but for your own countries. The US 377 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 6: innovators of all sizes already know what it's like to 378 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 6: deal with onerous international rules. Many of our most productive 379 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 6: tech companies are forced to deal with the EUS Digital 380 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 6: Services Act and the massive regulations it created about taking 381 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 6: down content and policing so called misinformation. 382 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 9: And of course we want to ensure the Internet is 383 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 9: a safe place. 384 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 6: But it is one thing to prevent a predator from 385 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 6: praying on a child on the Internet, and it is 386 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 6: something quite different to prevent a grown man or woman 387 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 6: from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation. Meanwhile, 388 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 6: for smaller firms, navigating the GDPR means paying endless legal 389 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 6: compliance costs or otherwise risking massive fines. Now, for some 390 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 6: easiest way to avoid the dilemma has been to simply 391 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 6: block EU users in the first place. Is this really 392 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 6: the future that we want, ladies and gentlemen. 393 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 9: I think the answer for all of us should be known. 394 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 4: That's a far crowd from Kamala Harris, the former Vice president, 395 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 4: on the same subject. 396 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 10: First part of this issue that should be articulated is 397 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 10: AI is kind of a fancy things for Swell's two letters. 398 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 10: It means artificial intelligence, but ultimately what it is is 399 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 10: it's about machine learning, and so the machine is taught. 400 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 10: And part of the issue here is what information is 401 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 10: going into the machine that will then determine and we 402 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 10: can predict then if we think about what machine, what 403 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 10: information is going in, what then will be produced in terms. 404 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 2: Of I'll bet you we've got ten thousands sweet little ladies. 405 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 4: Of seventy or more that would make a pound case 406 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 4: that you could eat cold and enjoy. 407 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 2: Michael Veryshue. 408 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 4: Over the course of three days last week, a senior 409 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 4: at the University of Massachusetts UMass. 410 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 2: It's called. 411 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 4: Named Noah Lee, won ten thousand dollars, then lost ten 412 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 4: thousand dollars, and then something else happened. 413 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 2: So what happened was what happened was. 414 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 4: This student, you know, at the at the games, they'll 415 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 4: have you know, if you if you make a layup, 416 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 4: then a free throw, then a three pointer. 417 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 2: And then a halftime shot, you know, you win all 418 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 2: this money. So what happens is. 419 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 4: Whoever is hosting that event buys an insurance policy that says, 420 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 4: if in fact that happens, you pay for it. So 421 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 4: that way they you know, let's say it's the insurance 422 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 4: policy is ten dollars per game. The insurance company has 423 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 4: an actuarial table says, what is it likelihood a general 424 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 4: member of the public would be able to do all 425 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 4: these things under these rules and restrictions and difficulties. 426 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 2: And then it becomes a financial instrument. You pay to 427 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 2: manage the risk. 428 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 4: They assume the risk in exchange for the money they 429 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 4: make by putting your premium to investment. That's the same 430 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 4: thing as life insurance and everything else. When you buy 431 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 4: a life insurance policy, you're saying, I'm going to pay 432 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 4: this betting that I'm going to die very soon, and 433 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 4: they say we'll take your payment betting that you're not 434 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 4: going to die for a long time. And then you're 435 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 4: both in a pitched battle for who's going to win. 436 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 4: And in this odd setup, you win by dying quickly, 437 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 4: at least in terms of you get over on the 438 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 4: insurance company. Because if you only pay in a couple 439 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 4: hundred dollars in a premium and you get you know, 440 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 4: a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars payout, you or 441 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 4: at least your family wins. 442 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 2: And that's how this thing works out right. You can 443 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 2: think of it as gambling if you like. 444 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 4: So this is the CBS Boston story where he hits 445 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 4: the shot, but the insurance company said, well, your foot. 446 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 2: Was kind of on the line. Oh man, how awful 447 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 2: do you have to be? But here's the story. 448 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 3: That half court shot. 449 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 7: When I put it out, I knew it kind of 450 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 7: had a chance, never expected to go in. 451 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 5: The crowd inside the Mullen Center erupted Wednesday when that 452 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 5: half court shot. 453 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 9: Did go in. 454 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 11: Noah Lee a UMAs Ammer senior from Whalen was as 455 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 11: stunned as everyone else after being randomly picked for a 456 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 11: series shootout for ten grand during the women's halftime and I. 457 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 2: Was told to take one dribble. 458 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 9: That's when the clock would start. 459 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 7: I would have to hit a layup, a free throw, 460 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 7: a three pointer, and a half court shot all within 461 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 7: thirty seconds. 462 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 12: There's no way it's going to go in. And then 463 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 12: it kind of looked good and then it went in. 464 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 12: I just was like struck. People kept coming up to 465 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 12: him as they were like walking up like that was incredible. 466 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 2: That was incredible. 467 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 5: But Noah's victory lop was cut short by a block 468 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 5: from the promo company. His foot was on the line, 469 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 5: forcing a turnover of the big prize. 470 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 7: I was getting text from people were like, oh my god, 471 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 7: that's incredible, like congrats, and then now them all texting 472 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,479 Speaker 7: me like, oh my gosh, like that sucks. 473 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 3: I'm really sorry you. 474 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 5: Mass Athletics came back with a consolation prize, a four 475 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 5: person suite for a men's game, court side seats to 476 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 5: cheer the women, food, and a swag bag. 477 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 11: But it's no ten grand, which Noah had planned to. 478 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 5: Put towards school loans and fund Are. 479 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 2: You going to be practicing your half court shots now? 480 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 3: In case? They're like okay to case, maybe in case. Yeah. 481 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 4: So what happened was a third party company called Odds 482 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 4: On Promotions was hired to put this on. It's the 483 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 4: same thing as hiring somebody to come and sing it 484 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 4: at halftime. So these are part of the entertainment package 485 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 4: of a basketball game, and so University of Massachusetts, the 486 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 4: host of the event, they pay odds On Promotions and 487 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 4: odds On Promotions as part of putting this thing on, 488 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 4: would be responsible for paying and Odds On Promotions. 489 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 2: Then gets an insurance policy. 490 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 4: Probably doesn't cost very much because the numbers will show 491 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 4: that out of ten thousand times of doing this, nobody's 492 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 4: ever won, So the policy's probably pretty cheap now, Odds 493 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 4: On Promotion says, So it was up to them to 494 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 4: award the ten thousand dollars and they said, no, we're 495 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 4: not doing it. 496 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 2: After you know, this thing is broadcast, it went. 497 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 4: Viral, great moment, and then they said no, we have 498 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 4: to check with our insurance company to make sure they'll 499 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 4: pay out on it. So they're blaming the insurance company. 500 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 4: I don't know if that's true or not.

Every 517 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 4: year in Baton Rouge. I would m see an event 518 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 4: called the Louisiana Pediatric Cardiology Associates or Cardiology Association. I 519 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 4: would m see their event and there would be and 520 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 4: part of that was that we do an auction and 521 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 4: then raise a lot of money for these children in 522 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 4: Baton Rouge with heart problems. 523 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 2: And the guy that got me involved, Michael Hudson. 524 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 4: His daughter was born with a hole in her heart, Charlie, 525 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 4: and so he had a heart pun intended for this organization. 526 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 2: And I grew to as well over the years. 527 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 4: And one of the things I noticed in doing this 528 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 4: is that there were people there who had a public 529 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 4: image Planet's attorneys. Vaton Rouge has a lot of Planets attorneys, 530 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 4: and they would they would spend an insane amount of 531 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 4: money on buying a puppy for their wife, or a 532 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 4: trip that they didn't need, or any number of other things. 533 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 4: And you begin to understand that part of the reason 534 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 4: to do that is ego, because there's other Planets attorneys 535 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 4: in the room, and another reason to do that is 536 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 4: people notice your name and they think fondly, oh, you 537 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 4: know he's given he's buying that auction item. But in 538 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 4: so doing he's actually contributing for children with pediatric heart conditions. 539 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 2: And that's a good thing. 540 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 4: With ten thousand dollars at play, If the University of 541 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 4: Massachusetts took a hickey on that and chose to let 542 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 4: the kid get screwed over, the negative energy directed toward 543 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 4: them would be far in excess of ten thousand dollars. 544 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 4: You can find ten thousand dollars somewhere, and the right 545 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 4: thing to do would have been immediately just set forward 546 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 4: and say we're gonna fight with the insurance company because 547 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 4: they're supposed to pay. 548 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 2: Him, and that's the right thing to do. 549 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 4: But if they don't, let it be known that UMass 550 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 4: unlike the insurance company, recognizes the spirit of the game 551 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 4: was upheld. 552 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 2: He hit the shot, and no one should have his money. 553 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 2: Just do the right thing. 554 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 4: You don't have to make up excuses until the story 555 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 4: has a happy end. 556 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 2: The gentlemen held us has us, Let good kill me, 557 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 2: thank you, and good night.
