00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jettie and no Hee Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: Meta, which of course runs Instagram, announcing new default settings

5
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: designed to restrict the content that teens can actually view.

6
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 3: One on Instagram, anyone under eighteen will be put in

7
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 3: a restrictive teen account, allowing them only to see PG

8
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 3: thirteen content. The settings can't be changed without a parent's permission.

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 3: The company also adding an even stricter setting that parents

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: can set up for their younger children.

11
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 4: Darn it, I wish they wouldn't go that direction because

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 4: I have a thirteen year old and a fifteen year old,

13
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 4: and what I've found on like almost everything that I have,

14
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 4: I have taken off the child restriction on because it's

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 4: too restrictive. It's way too restrictive. They can't watch stuff

16
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 4: that is you know, by mine and most parents, I know,

17
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 4: standard okay for a teenager to see. I mean, they

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 4: they get relegated to you know, paw patrol cartoons and

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 4: just I mean stuff that's for little kids. So far,

20
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 4: that's been my experience with all these age LeMans and

21
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 4: him saying right there, thirteen year old on Instagram. Okay,

22
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 4: that's going to eliminate like ninety percent of the stuff

23
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 4: they want to see and bad stuff I don't want

24
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 4: them to see. Is there some way to have like

25
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 4: it be? I don't know, like R rated movies. I

26
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 4: guess where you get closer around. Yeah, I don't want

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: you watching this till you're a full on adult. As

28
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 4: opposed to it, you have to be a little kid

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 4: to enjoy this.

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: Come on, I don't think that technologies within a million

31
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: miles of being good enough, because I mean, like, you

32
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: get those warnings on TV shows and movies includes rough language, violence, smoking,

33
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: smoking right exactly?

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: Or Or what's the consumerism?

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, the common sense media thing that I check

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: all the time. It'll have some horrifying rating and I'll think, oh,

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: we can't watch this until I realize that it's mostly

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 4: because it's got smoking cigarettes and consumerism.

39
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not really that worried about that.

40
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about the bear arst blanking no, and the

41
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: trip to the toy store. Yes, that would be fine,

42
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: even if there's a guy smoking a cigar outside of it.

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: How about brightly lit two dudes raw dogging.

44
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: I don't want that.

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 4: But if somebody's drinking a Coca Cola and I can

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 4: clearly read the logo of the coke can, I'm not

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: so bothered.

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: I don't even know what raw dogging means, but I

49
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: don't want it on my screen.

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: But anyway, I've had that problem with a bunch of

51
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 4: stuff where I took the restrictions off, like Netflix or

52
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 4: Hulu so they can watch the Simpsons or something like

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 4: that right then. And then, what I was thinking about

54
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 4: is some of this is wanting to stay on the

55
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: right side of public opinion for Mark Zuckerberg since he's

56
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: gotten beaten up by some But.

57
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: Then there's also fietly, Yeah, there's also what's going to.

58
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: Make me the most Money's what's just flat out going

59
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 4: to be the most profitable. And I think that gets

60
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 4: to what Sam Altman announced yesterday, which we've talked about

61
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: a couple of times, where ease greenlit erotica for chat GPT,

62
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: and it's going to be a similar sort of thing

63
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: where it's going to be a.

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: What is he calling it the phrase right here.

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 4: We're going to go with treat adult users like adults.

66
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 4: That's going to be our principle from now on. And

67
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: so if you are an adult, we're going to treat

68
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 4: you like an adult, and all this different stuff is

69
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: going to be available to you, erotica and sexy stuff

70
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 4: and all that different sort of thing. How you keep

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: that out of the hands of underage people, I don't know,

72
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: but he, I'm guessing, for profit's sake, thinks he wants

73
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 4: to be first in for grown up content. I mentioned

74
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: I was making groc videos yesterday. Groc we couldn't make.

75
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 4: I couldn't make somebody in a picture flip somebody off,

76
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: couldn't make our dog say the F word, which.

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: We're trying to why is he religious? But anyway, couldn't

78
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: do that.

79
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: I'm like, how old does somebody need to be for

80
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: content that is your dog saying the F word, which

81
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: is pretty funny. I feel like thirteen's good enough, or

82
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 4: certainly fifteen, but uh.

83
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree.

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: Oh, speaking of the chat GPT sexiness though, I love

85
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: that idea because it could be like, oh yeah, just

86
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: like that. Oh yeah, and by the way, can you

87
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: help me troubleshoot my toaster oven?

88
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 2: It's not working right?

89
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: So you got like the most knowledgeable lover in the

90
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: world can help you through if you think, oh, yeah, yeah,

91
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: that's great what you're doing there. But don't let me forget.

92
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: I got to troubleshoot my toaster oven. It's not working right.

93
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 4: Right, So she can talk sexy to me, and I

94
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: can say, I've got a ninety two Chevy S ten,

95
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 4: the windows are leaking.

96
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: What's the most common cause of that? And she'll tell

97
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: me exactly.

98
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: What happened exactly right. Oh oh, speaking of technology, this

99
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: is stupid. But so I've got a silly technical thing

100
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: going on, and so I've had to go from a

101
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: touch screen for something I do all day long during

102
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: the show to a mouse screen. What's the over under

103
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: for the number of times I'm going to reach for

104
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: the screen to try to do it as a touch screen,

105
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: because I'm already at like six hundred and three.

106
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: Keep jabbing at it. Why doesn't this work? Not a touchscreen,

107
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: you idiot.

108
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 4: I've done that before, like at ATMs or gas stations

109
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 4: or whatever.

110
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: Or my wife's laptop. Yeah, oh, one more technical thing

111
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: or tech thing. It's going to take a couple of minutes,

112
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: but at some point, if not today, maybe tomorrow. The

113
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: People's Liberation Army. Some of their that's the Chinese Commingist

114
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 1: Army have some of their publications on psychological warfare against

115
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: the United States have been found in translated and it's

116
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: amazing and nobody's.

117
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: Talking about Now I haven't heard this. This is right

118
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: up my alley. I want to hear that, all right,

119
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: stay tuned.

120
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 4: So just a quick question, going back to the the

121
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: social media platforms and the ai I and all this

122
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: sort of stuff. Do you think Altman being first in

123
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: with adult content is going to make all the other

124
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 4: companies go more that direction?

125
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, because I feel like it is.

126
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: There are bunches of companies, but they're not like in

127
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: that top tier that we talk about all the time,

128
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: and they're already fully on board.

129
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: Right Yeah.

130
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: I just thought it was kind of precious and silly

131
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 4: that groc wasn't allowing my dog.

132
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: To say the F word. It's like, Okay, I mean,

133
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: I understand what you're trying to do, but let's live

134
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: in reality here. How about your dog doing the F work.

135
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 4: Well, they're like, like, you know, that's what I was thinking.

136
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 4: There are ninety other platforms I could go to right

137
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 4: now if I wanted to take the time and get

138
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 4: the dog to say that. So what are you accomplishing

139
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: here with your precious.

140
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: Little rule.

141
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 4: It's reputational, I think gotta be. Yeah, Elon's got enough

142
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 4: money though he can. He can be a lagging indicator

143
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 4: if he wants. I'm giving into that.

144
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well Elon has gone.

145
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 4: To have your pug sitting there saying give me my

146
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 4: effing food.

147
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: Kind of voice do you envision for the pug that

148
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: sort of cartoon. We didn't pick a voice, It just

149
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: picked a voice. I suppose we could have changed it.

150
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 4: It kind of looked like what you'd expect a pug

151
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: to sound like a pick a dog.

152
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: British accent would be funny. Oh, you're right. We got

153
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: that stuff Joe mentioned, and about a bunch of other

154
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: stuff on the way. Stay here.

155
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 5: Hi Kea has announced plans to build a small format

156
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 5: store in Manhattan that will be twenty five thousand square feet.

157
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 5: No word yet on when it'll open. It's got like

158
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: a jillion pieces and all Day Give You is like

159
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 5: one tiny Allen ranch.

160
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: I can get it, yeaps. Mocking the very product.

161
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: We are so fat and naive and trouble as a

162
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: country and individuals, but as a country specifically to the

163
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: threat of China. Talk about this a lot, but it's

164
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: so obvious and so troubling.

165
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do about it.

166
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I was thinking, you remember, and maybe I'll

167
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: dig it up again. We had that collection of all

168
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: the quotes from Chinese Communist Party high up officials and

169
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: intelligence agents and the military people talking about what an

170
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: incredible tool TikTok was and is for Chinese propaganda. And

171
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: that is known, it's a known known, And yet what

172
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: the hell's going on with the TikTok deal?

173
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: I haven't heard recently. I don't know.

174
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: We just let it happen, and then you have this

175
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: that nobody's really talking about, maybe because it takes a

176
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: little explanation and we're a very very short attention span people.

177
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: But the People's Liberation Army scholars have explained China's whole

178
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: of society cognitive warfare doc in a big report that

179
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: came out in twenty twenty two entitled Effectiveness, Mechanisms and

180
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: Strategic Selection in Cognitive Domain Operations and the name it's

181
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: been translating in English completely. This is kind of a

182
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: summary of it. It's written by a guy who is

183
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: in this world. So it's full of a lot of jargon,

184
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: which I'm going to skip around mostly, but it's authored

185
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: by a couple of scholars from the National Defense University's

186
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 1: Political Academy.

187
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: The piece which I just gave you the long name

188
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: of positions.

189
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: CDO or Cognitive Domain operations as a sophisticated evolution of

190
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: psychological warfare, drawing heavily from Konnman's theories, Tirsky's he heuristics

191
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: and biases, and research and information theoretic concepts like overload

192
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: and entropy not to build resilience but to weaponize cognitive vult.

193
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 4: Wow, you get the word heuristic say and entropy in

194
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 4: the same sentence.

195
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: I know, I know, it's it's a good day for

196
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: me anyway. But it emphasizes strategies like meme propagation, algorithmic manipulation,

197
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: and echo chambers to disrupt enemy decision making, foster cognitive biases,

198
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: and achieve strategic dominance without direct combat. And it goes

199
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: into without direct comity detail. That's what I was talking

200
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: about the other day.

201
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 4: What I thought was so clever from watching sixty minutes,

202
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: the way they're hacking into allar systems stuff like that

203
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: is to avoid the full on nuclear war with a

204
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: power that rivals you, and you know, take it down

205
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,359
Speaker 4: or defeat it in other ways.

206
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: Well yeah, well, said the authors situate China's approaches within

207
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: the context of Western doctrines blah blah blah, but with

208
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: a distinctly offensive bias exploiting focus rooted in sun sous

209
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: quote subduing the enemy without fighting. M They are pouring

210
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: as much energy and well maybe not as much, but

211
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: energy and a hell of a lot of money into

212
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: this style of attacking their enemy, the United States and

213
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: or just blissfully unaware, which astounds.

214
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 4: Because we've been counting on for so many decades now,

215
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 4: the fact that we can just obliterate anybody. We're the

216
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 4: opposite end of it. We don't need to whatever that is,

217
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 4: defeat you without going to battle. We want to go

218
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: to battle because we could beat anybody. And that has

219
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 4: worked for a very long time.

220
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: But wow, that's they're.

221
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: Not trying to win hearts and minds. They're trying to

222
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: twist hearts and minds just a little more. Because there's

223
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: a stunning amount of detail to this, and I'm kind

224
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: of skipping around but.

225
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: Two features of.

226
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: The source of what they're doing are especially valuable analytically

227
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,239
Speaker 1: and weren't foregrounding. That would be the five step sequence

228
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: figure that operationalizes how attention capture framing an algorithmic curation

229
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: lead to chamber driven bias, amplification and reinforcement, and the

230
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: chemical reaction model triad that maps content et cetera. And

231
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: roles both improved a bunch of technical stuff. But they

232
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: have their best scientists, their best cognitive scientists, working on

233
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: this stuff and are doing it through you know, social media,

234
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: including apps that the Chinese Communist Party itself controls, and

235
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: we're just letting them. I don't know what else to say.

236
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: I don't know how is every podcast in America not

237
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: talking about this well right?

238
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 4: I don't understand how that story from sixty Minutes or

239
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 4: first story Sunday Night isn't like the biggest story in

240
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 4: the country.

241
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: The President has already addressed it. Every town in America.

242
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: There have been people saying to their mayor, are we

243
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 2: prepared for this? But we're not.

244
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 4: Because we are what you said earlier, Yeah, fat lazy content.

245
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 4: We just been dominant for so long. We just don't

246
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: think anybody could actually touch us. We're going to find out.

247
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 4: I think maybe over confident is the best.

248
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: This confident is the best as the best.

249
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 4: We're uh, we're Mike Tyson thinking nobody could possibly possibly

250
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 4: be this. At some point we're gonna be crawling around

251
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 4: on the canvas looking for our.

252
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: Mouthpiece, which is unfortunately and our trainer is trying to

253
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: tell us. Our trainer being us in this case. Hey,

254
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: this guy's got a wicked left. You've got to watch

255
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: out for it. I'll be fine. And you haven't been

256
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: training me about his left. You haven't been training quite

257
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: the way you used to be.

258
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: I'll be fine. My pigtons been feeding my pigeons. I

259
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 2: don't know why I had.

260
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 4: To bring in his pigeons and use his lisp. I

261
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 4: don't know why I needed to do.

262
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: That, because he's such a colorful character he is.

263
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: Uh.

264
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, that story'll be around for the rest of

265
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: our lives.

266
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: Us versus China, it's all about the grass of OFV doctrine, Jack,

267
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: And just scroll down a little further. What the grass

268
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: and OFV doctrine that blends us so often hard power

269
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: to achieve victory without fighting Russia? The Soviet Union than

270
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: Russia has been trying to do this sort of thing

271
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: for ages, but China's way way better about it, way

272
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: more sophisticated.

273
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: Yipes.

274
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 4: Do you have any opinion on US giving Trump saying

275
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 4: he'll give twenty billion dollars to Argentina if they re

276
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 4: elect Malay, but won't give him the money if they

277
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 4: elect someone else.

278
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's really good because they would squander

279
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: it if he if it's not Malay in charge.

280
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 2: On the other hand, who's persuaded? Excuse me?

281
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 4: That's not us trying to affect an election in the

282
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 4: way we're not supposed to or something.

283
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: It clearly is. Yeah, yeah, we want that guy, not

284
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: the other guy. Yeah, yeah, I'm not worried about that.

285
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm more worried about the Argentinian people and the fact

286
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: that they could be a great and prosperous ally in

287
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: our hemisphere. And I was persuaded by an article I

288
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: read in the Wall Street Journal a monetary guy speaking

289
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: of technical jargon, but he was saying, no, you don't

290
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: do it this way. You've got to dollarize Argentina. You

291
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: got to get rid of their their local currency and

292
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: just do trade in dollars. That will stabilize the economy,

293
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: because Malay has got the the inflation down to I

294
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: think now thirty percent, which is a miraculously low number.

295
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: For urgent in the last decade. How do you live

296
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: in a society like that? How do things even work?

297
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: You take big bricks of cash to the store. It's ridiculous. Wow, in.

298
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 4: Unimportant news. Here's a book I won't read, but he'll

299
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 4: probably make the rounds Kevin Federline. Does that name ring

300
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 4: a bill bell for anyone? Britney Spears' ex husband and

301
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 4: baby daddy anyway, But we used to.

302
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: Make mild fun of But then in the infamous Britney

303
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: Spears some people may be ahead of us video, it

304
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: became clear that he was the bright one.

305
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 4: I think he is, and he is the one kind

306
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 4: of holding things together and trying to take care of

307
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 4: the kids. And he's got a new memoir out in

308
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 4: which he explains that the decision to release her from

309
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 4: her conservative conservatorship was a bad idea. He's a great

310
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 4: He's making the argument in his memoir that she's not

311
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 4: capable of being a mom or taking care of herself.

312
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: And but that's kind of interesting. I doubt I'm ever

313
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: going to read it. I might listen to a short

314
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: interview with him, though, Do we have a title?

315
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm thinking towing the fetter line or I'm trying to

316
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: come up with a Brittany a Brittany related title.

317
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: Oops, she did it again. My life with Britney spears

318
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: and go we have a winner.

319
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 4: I walk into the kitchen and there she is, half

320
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 4: naked dancing with knives, posting on Instagram while I'm trying

321
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 4: to get the kids to bed.

322
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: Oh honey, honey, again with the knives.

323
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 4: Oh oh boy. I want to get into some of

324
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 4: the antifa ice stuff. Those battles continue to go on

325
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 4: in cities all across America. That's a complicated issue too.

326
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 4: If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and

327
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 4: Getty on demand.

328
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty.

329
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 6: High Speed Chase ends on Chicago's Southeast Side. After Border

330
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 6: Patrol agents locate to Venezuelans they say are in the

331
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 6: US illegally. The suspect allegedly rammed a Border Patrol vehicle

332
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 6: and attempted to flee the scene. They were eventually stopped,

333
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 6: but as an angry mob formed and threw objects at agents,

334
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 6: crowd control measures like tear gas were deployed. Meantime, across

335
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 6: the border, DHS as Mexican criminal gangs are placing bouties

336
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 6: on the heads of federal law enforcement in coordination with

337
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 6: domestic extremist.

338
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: Groups, including Antifa, which we'll get to in a moment

339
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: or two. The chaos right there at the edge of

340
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: Chicago that's really emerged.

341
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: It's kind of the.

342
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: Hotbed of the crazy is Portland, Sorry, move aside, Chicago's

343
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: on stage now. Mike Tobin of Fox News continues his report.

344
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 6: Protests turn to riots almost every weekend in broadview, and

345
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 6: the Illinois governor threatens prosecution of ice in border patrol agents.

346
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: The tables will turn someday.

347
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 7: Maybe they're not going to get prosecuted today, although we're

348
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 7: looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after

349
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 7: the Trump administration.

350
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: You're getting prosecuted for what I miss that. Play that again, Michael.

351
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 6: Protests turn to riots almost every weekend in broadview, and

352
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 6: the Illinois governor threatens prosecution of ice in border patrol agents.

353
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: The tables will turn someday.

354
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 7: Maybe they're not going to get prosecuted today, although we're

355
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 7: looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the.

356
00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: Trump administration, you're going to bring state charges against federal

357
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: officers for doing their.

358
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 2: Jobs, doing their jobs in a way you don't approve of.

359
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 4: But I assume his goal was there to send a

360
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 4: chill wind through the halls of the Ice Agency to

361
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 4: where agents think.

362
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to deal with that. This sucks. Yeah,

363
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: it's possible.

364
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: I think more it's just him trying to out Gavin

365
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: Newsom Gavin Newsom and show himself to be the great

366
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: battler against Trump. I guess the next clip Michael seventy two.

367
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 6: Two hundred Texas National Guardsmen are now stuck in a

368
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 6: training facility southwest of the city as a federal appeals

369
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 6: court ruled they cannot patrol where the governor does not

370
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 6: want them, prompting President Trump to threaten using the Insurrection

371
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 6: Act to override both the court and Governor.

372
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: Pritchger, I think he should beg for help because he's

373
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: running a bad operation and whatever you mentioned insurrection.

374
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I could do that.

375
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm tired of that. It's I mean, the

376
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: left trying to make January sixth.

377
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: It was a riot.

378
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: It was ugly, it was bad, it was highly regrettable,

379
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: but calling everything an insurrection all the time on both sides.

380
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 2: Not every riot is an insurrection.

381
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 4: Well, and Trump threatens that stuff because he gets the

382
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 4: media to jump and talk about it on a panel

383
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 4: segment on cn N or MSNBC for eight hours every day,

384
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 4: and then he doesn't do it so far, so far

385
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 4: he is abided by whatever judge rulings come down.

386
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: Right. Indeed, so Pam Bondi was making the rounds.

387
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: She was talking to Hannity and addressed the situation seventy four.

388
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 8: Michael, you know how many missing children we found in Memphis?

389
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 8: Of forty four, finding one missing child makes it all worthwhile.

390
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 8: Abducted children who are on their own, all under the

391
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 8: age of eighteen, teenagers and younger. Forty four missing children.

392
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 8: Some have been taken by non custodial parents, but forty

393
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 8: four have been recovered.

394
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: And then you take that to Chicago.

395
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 8: They had five hundred and seventy one homicides last year.

396
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 8: Pritsker should be begging Donald Trump to come in. Pritzker's

397
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 8: lost his mind.

398
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: That's both Hannity and Pambondy tipping their caps to the

399
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 4: crowd out there, because I know some of you who

400
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 4: your number one issue is the three hundred thousand children

401
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 4: being trafficked by Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama's actually a man,

402
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 4: and Pizzagate and all that.

403
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: Sort of stuff. That's well, that was.

404
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: Interesting, interesting, well, and then she talks about why don't

405
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: we she talks about Antifa, but before we do that,

406
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: they played a little montage of Democrats.

407
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: Seventy six. Michael, there's no Antifa. This is an entirely

408
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: imaginary organization.

409
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: There is not an Antifa, and it's all in this

410
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 3: guise of going after Antifa, which is nothing. There's no

411
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: organization called Antifa.

412
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: I hope he can first define what Antifa is because

413
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: there is no Antifa organization.

414
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 7: There really is no and as an institution organization.

415
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: That is such an odd dodge. I heard a great comparison.

416
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: I can't remember what it was. Oh goodness, it was

417
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: so good. Another organization that doesn't have a great deal

418
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: of central control.

419
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 2: But to deny they exist is ludicrous. Anyway. Seventy five

420
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: is Pambondi talking about Antifa.

421
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 8: It would be organized crime, and that's what they're doing,

422
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 8: and you're watching it in Portland. Portland really is the

423
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 8: prime example. And President Trump just had so many of

424
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 8: the influencers whose lives were threatened, who were Caitlin, the

425
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 8: beautiful blonde woman who had the black eye from an

426
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 8: Antifa member. They're threatening them online with violent acts.

427
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 2: It's organized crime.

428
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 8: They're at all of these events, they're encouraging violence. They're

429
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 8: calling everyone fascist. But it's more than that. It's hurting

430
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 8: the American people. And that's why they're no different than

431
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 8: MS thirteen or any gang out there.

432
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: Well, are kind of different, but yeah, they absolutely exist.

433
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: And again that's such a weird dodge. They don't have

434
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: any central organization. They know they don't exist well.

435
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 4: And as I heard on NPR just a week ago,

436
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 4: and to the extent that they do exist, ANTIFA stands

437
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 4: for anti fascists.

438
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: They're anti fascists. Ah, it's like being an anti racist.

439
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 2: It must be good.

440
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: It can't possibly be just a mask that Marxists swear

441
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: to try to tear down civilization. Which seriously, if you

442
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: spend thirty seconds looking into it, it becomes obvious and clear.

443
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: But anyway, chaos, chaos, that's the way you wrap it up. Anyway, chaos, Right, Well,

444
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: what else are you going to say? The ongoing chaos

445
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: in multiple cities around the country. Is the immigration thing

446
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: is still a roiling Americans?

447
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: You know what I'm excited about.

448
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: Sorry, I wish we had a Congress because then they

449
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: could pass a law, but we don't.

450
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: Yess, Jack, what are you excited about?

451
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 4: I had been talking on the about my prune intake, yes,

452
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 4: as advised by my doctor, because I was all stove up.

453
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: My system wasn't.

454
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 4: Working right, and my doctor said, I have two prunes

455
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 4: every day and if that doesn't work at it, just

456
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 4: keep adding in a prune every day until you get

457
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 4: to the right amount. Anyway, I talked about that openly

458
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 4: on the air, and California Prunes heard us talking about that,

459
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 4: and we are I think, going to start working with

460
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 4: California Prunes and endorsing.

461
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: Their very product.

462
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 4: It is a fine fruit and I'm looking forward to it.

463
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 4: And I've had this conversation with my son and some

464
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 4: of the salespeople involved. I don't know where the prune,

465
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 4: the Humble Prune got the reputation it has. I was

466
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 4: talking with our sales girl, Michelle the other day. She

467
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 4: had the same experience as me, is that she grew

468
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 4: up her grandma always had prunes around and so you

469
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 4: get in your head that it's like some sort of

470
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 4: weird old person's food, but it's just it's just slightly

471
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 4: different than a raisin. Nobody has any like judgments about raisins.

472
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: Prunes are the same.

473
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 4: Thing, all right, And so I don't know where that

474
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 4: came from. Because it, in addition to being a fine fruit,

475
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 4: helps your you know, system work the way it's supposed to.

476
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 4: It got labeled as like, I don't know, like a

477
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 4: medicine fruit or something.

478
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: Well, when people say an apple a day keeps the

479
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: doctor away, that's specifically what that old saying refers to,

480
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: right digestive system.

481
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 4: But people don't turn away from apples because it's something

482
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 4: old people to take because they can poop the way

483
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 4: they do it prunes, And I'm not exactly sure, and

484
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 4: I want to bring back prunes. We're here to stand

485
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 4: up for prune exactly.

486
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: They're in the face of this fruitist criticism makes fruitism.

487
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 4: And California Prunes send us a bunch of stuff, a

488
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 4: hat and some stuff to just they they appreciated us

489
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 4: talking about it and trying to, you know, shine.

490
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: The light on the wonders of the humble prune it's

491
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: my go to dog walking hat now.

492
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 4: But we've been eating them at home and really and

493
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 4: John and I'll tell you what it works. And for again,

494
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 4: for me, the numbers between four and five daily. Yeah,

495
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: and then I'm regular. Is the is the trains?

496
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: Well, I you know, I I said at the time

497
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: when you were your doctor said start with two.

498
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: I'm like, they're not hand grenades, they're prunes. Have a

499
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: handful of them.

500
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't overshoot, and uh, it'll be fine, but

501
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 4: I do have a big book to read.

502
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 2: But well, do you mean it'll be fine. You'll spend

503
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: the day.

504
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 4: You'll you'll spend an entire day of your life staring

505
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 4: at the walls.

506
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: You won't no, no, and this is not that was

507
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: not a great angle to take some days if you

508
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: overdo it. You don't want to overdo anything, Jack moderation.

509
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 4: Well, four or five a day, that's quite a few

510
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 4: if everybody did that, Think how much money they would

511
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 4: break in there at California prune. If everybody is taken

512
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 4: four to five prudes a.

513
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: Day, and everybody would be happier, Yes, exactly, it would

514
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: be a happier, healthier country.

515
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 4: And again, as regular as Southwest Airlines. Sometimes there's a delay.

516
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: But you know what a brief delay exactly? Okay, well

517
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 2: make my connection. We will finish strong.

518
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 9: Next Arby's is releasing their new first of his kind

519
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 9: steak nuggets that they claim are an easy to eat

520
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 9: way to have steaks with no knife needed and forked optional.

521
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 9: Arby's has liberated us from the tyranny of utensils. We

522
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 9: are finally free to eat our meat as God intended

523
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 9: in big saucy hunks, with our bare hands hovering over

524
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 9: a trash can in the dark.

525
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll try those because I like Arby's, you know,

526
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: good imagery, but and funny mildly, but I like the

527
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: idea of a knife and fork free steak.

528
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, no kidding. So I started the program today with

529
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 4: my question was Who's we? President Trump said yesterday, and

530
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 4: it got a lot of a news attention. Hamas needs

531
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 4: to disarm. If they don't disarm, we will disarm them,

532
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 4: perhaps violently.

533
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Who's we? Still waiting to see what the answer

534
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: to that question? Is?

535
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still say it's Israel with our assistance and

536
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: or full permission to whoop ass.

537
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, where this road goes?

538
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: Nobody knows for sure, but the Free Press that we're

539
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: big fans of mentioned that many times. They One of

540
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: the things they do is they will have three or

541
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: four writers right on more or less the same topic,

542
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: just taking different looks at it. And it's more than

543
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: I think most people want to take in generally speaking.

544
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: But if you are into a topic, it's fantastic. And

545
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: I just wanted to hit you with a couple of

546
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 1: headlines about the peace deal. One by Michael Lauren, who

547
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: we've cited a handful of times, former ambassador.

548
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah to the United States.

549
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he fought a number of their wars. Very

550
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 4: decorated military guy.

551
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

552
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: So his article is entitled how three real estate moguls

553
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: ended the war in Gaza. The expert class believed that

554
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: peace depended on pressuring Israel and appeasing its enemies. Trump

555
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: and his allies succeeded in rejecting that myth. Specifically, they

556
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: didn't fall for the truism that, look, you can't even

557
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: begin to solve this until there's a Palestinian state, right,

558
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: And Trump and Witkoff and Kushner just said, you know, no,

559
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it a different way. And so far,

560
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 1: so good. I like this piece by who wrote this,

561
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: Aaron McLain. Donald Trump gave war a chance and it worked.

562
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: And he makes the obvious point that rejecting the piecemeal

563
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: week stupid Biden appeasement and and and Burah and uh

564
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: and and Barack Obama's you know, I'm slick and I

565
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: can negotiate anything crap. He brought the team delivered results

566
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: through pressure, principle and timing. It's a good piece and

567
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: really makes that point, the idea that it's somehow ugly

568
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: or untoward for a superpower to flex its muscles in

569
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: a righteous cause. And you know, I realized one person's

570
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: righteous cause is not necessarily another's. But the idea that

571
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: that's somehow shameful and shouldn't be done. Where how did

572
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: that notion come from? Show me in the history of superpowers?

573
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: Where one said, you know, we can do all sorts

574
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: of good stuff, but we're not going to because we

575
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: don't want to be mean. And then finally VDH Victor

576
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: Davis Hansen, the genius of Fresno. Fresno, right, Yeah, his

577
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: piece is Trump's ten moves that changed the Middle East

578
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: is Middle East policy defied every rule of diplomacy. It

579
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: also produced results we haven't seen in decades. Maybe we

580
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: can touch on this one tomorrow because it's so good.

581
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: He's so damn smart.

582
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 4: I wonder if maybe the lesson here is if you

583
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 4: end up with a really long, ongoing problem intractable is

584
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 4: the fancy word, Uh, then maybe that's when you blow

585
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 4: up the boxes and try something completely different. Look, this is,

586
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 4: you know, whatever your problem is life, This has been

587
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 4: going on exactly the same way for so long. Let's

588
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 4: try something completely freaking different, right, and or well, it's

589
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 4: kind of the same thing. But you know, everybody refers

590
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 4: to Gordian knots, you know, intractable problems. But do you

591
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 4: forget the end that the guy came along with a

592
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 4: sword and he chopped it in half. That's how he

593
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 4: untied the ununtiable knot. Sometimes you have to do that.

594
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to crack people's heads together to get

595
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: him to stop fighting.

596
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 4: You ever tried to make an omelet without breaking some eggs?

597
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 2: Something egg free omelet?

598
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: Idiot a shell in there, you're trying to chew the shell.

599
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: It's an excellent point. Let's see what's my favorite of

600
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: Vdh's points. He talks about Iranian oil income. How important

601
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: that was. Trump allowed Benjamin Nutt Yahoo to destroy Hamas

602
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: cripple Hasbola and retaliate it will against the houthis.

603
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: Uh.

604
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: Trump allowed note daylight between the US and Israel. Actually

605
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: there was a little bit, but not in a significant way.

606
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: He cites the UH. Well, that's not important. He used

607
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: the Abraham Accords, the tariffs. Trump and carrot and stick

608
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: fashion promised a defense protection packed with Qatar, the proverbial, destructive,

609
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: distrusted wild card of the Middle East. But then he

610
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: let Israel attack Hamas leadership in cutter and said, I

611
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: think we all get the point.

612
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 2: Are we gonna work together or no?

613
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 4: A number of people have pointed out that the pro Hamas,

614
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: it would seem college crowd that was so worked up

615
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 4: about the genocide and everything like that, don't seem to

616
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 4: be celebrating like you'd think they would be with the

617
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 4: end of the so called genocide.

618
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: They were calling for a ceasefire every day. Now there

619
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: is one, they got nothing to say. They're unhappy. The

620
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: Palestinian people have been forced to submit. There's no states.

621
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: Still we're still angry. All right, Yeah, there's such liars.

622
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: Let's get into that more tomorrow. Here's my favorite thought

623
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: from VDH. Trump dealt with enemies, allies and neutrals from

624
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,000
