WEBVTT - Anyway... Chaos! 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.320 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:25.240 Arm Strong and Jettie and no Hee Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.680 Meta, which of course runs Instagram, announcing new default settings 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.440 designed to restrict the content that teens can actually view. 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.120 One on Instagram, anyone under eighteen will be put in 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.160 a restrictive teen account, allowing them only to see PG 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:38.800 thirteen content. The settings can't be changed without a parent's permission. 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.480 The company also adding an even stricter setting that parents 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.000 can set up for their younger children. 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.600 Darn it, I wish they wouldn't go that direction because 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.320 I have a thirteen year old and a fifteen year old, 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:53.240 and what I've found on like almost everything that I have, 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.840 I have taken off the child restriction on because it's 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:01.920 too restrictive. It's way too restrictive. They can't watch stuff 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.200 that is you know, by mine and most parents, I know, 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:10.760 standard okay for a teenager to see. I mean, they 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:16.480 they get relegated to you know, paw patrol cartoons and 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.040 just I mean stuff that's for little kids. So far, 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.399 that's been my experience with all these age LeMans and 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.119 him saying right there, thirteen year old on Instagram. Okay, 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.320 that's going to eliminate like ninety percent of the stuff 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.119 they want to see and bad stuff I don't want 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.600 them to see. Is there some way to have like 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.360 it be? I don't know, like R rated movies. I 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.039 guess where you get closer around. Yeah, I don't want 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.440 you watching this till you're a full on adult. As 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.280 opposed to it, you have to be a little kid 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:43.959 to enjoy this. 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.240 Come on, I don't think that technologies within a million 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.320 miles of being good enough, because I mean, like, you 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:54.560 get those warnings on TV shows and movies includes rough language, violence, smoking, 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:56.120 smoking right exactly? 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.920 Or Or what's the consumerism? 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.360 Yes, yes, the common sense media thing that I check 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.400 all the time. It'll have some horrifying rating and I'll think, oh, 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.000 we can't watch this until I realize that it's mostly 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.639 because it's got smoking cigarettes and consumerism. 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:13.640 Okay, I'm not really that worried about that. 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:18.600 Yeah, how about the bear arst blanking no, and the 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.560 trip to the toy store. Yes, that would be fine, 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.200 even if there's a guy smoking a cigar outside of it. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.400 How about brightly lit two dudes raw dogging. 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:28.320 I don't want that. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.760 But if somebody's drinking a Coca Cola and I can 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.720 clearly read the logo of the coke can, I'm not 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:35.480 so bothered. 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.440 I don't even know what raw dogging means, but I 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:39.800 don't want it on my screen. 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.480 But anyway, I've had that problem with a bunch of 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.079 stuff where I took the restrictions off, like Netflix or 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.240 Hulu so they can watch the Simpsons or something like 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.320 that right then. And then, what I was thinking about 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.320 is some of this is wanting to stay on the 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.480 right side of public opinion for Mark Zuckerberg since he's 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.720 gotten beaten up by some But. 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.720 Then there's also fietly, Yeah, there's also what's going to. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.080 Make me the most Money's what's just flat out going 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:08.839 to be the most profitable. And I think that gets 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.679 to what Sam Altman announced yesterday, which we've talked about 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:16.280 a couple of times, where ease greenlit erotica for chat GPT, 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.560 and it's going to be a similar sort of thing 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.120 where it's going to be a. 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.480 What is he calling it the phrase right here. 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.040 We're going to go with treat adult users like adults. 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.360 That's going to be our principle from now on. And 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.040 so if you are an adult, we're going to treat 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.240 you like an adult, and all this different stuff is 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.040 going to be available to you, erotica and sexy stuff 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.760 and all that different sort of thing. How you keep 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.520 that out of the hands of underage people, I don't know, 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:45.760 but he, I'm guessing, for profit's sake, thinks he wants 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.520 to be first in for grown up content. I mentioned 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.560 I was making groc videos yesterday. Groc we couldn't make. 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.760 I couldn't make somebody in a picture flip somebody off, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.440 couldn't make our dog say the F word, which. 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:05.720 We're trying to why is he religious? But anyway, couldn't 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:06.080 do that. 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.320 I'm like, how old does somebody need to be for 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.600 content that is your dog saying the F word, which 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.360 is pretty funny. I feel like thirteen's good enough, or 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.200 certainly fifteen, but uh. 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:17.120 Yeah, I would agree. 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.480 Oh, speaking of the chat GPT sexiness though, I love 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.800 that idea because it could be like, oh yeah, just 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.479 like that. Oh yeah, and by the way, can you 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.279 help me troubleshoot my toaster oven? 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:27.479 It's not working right? 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.760 So you got like the most knowledgeable lover in the 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.120 world can help you through if you think, oh, yeah, yeah, 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.920 that's great what you're doing there. But don't let me forget. 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.520 I got to troubleshoot my toaster oven. It's not working right. 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.479 Right, So she can talk sexy to me, and I 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.440 can say, I've got a ninety two Chevy S ten, 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:44.400 the windows are leaking. 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.760 What's the most common cause of that? And she'll tell 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:47.560 me exactly. 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:51.400 What happened exactly right. Oh oh, speaking of technology, this 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:55.640 is stupid. But so I've got a silly technical thing 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.400 going on, and so I've had to go from a 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:01.840 touch screen for something I do all day long during 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:06.159 the show to a mouse screen. What's the over under 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.120 for the number of times I'm going to reach for 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.839 the screen to try to do it as a touch screen, 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.160 because I'm already at like six hundred and three. 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:19.720 Keep jabbing at it. Why doesn't this work? Not a touchscreen, 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:20.200 you idiot. 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.600 I've done that before, like at ATMs or gas stations 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:24.320 or whatever. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.279 Or my wife's laptop. Yeah, oh, one more technical thing 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.720 or tech thing. It's going to take a couple of minutes, 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.400 but at some point, if not today, maybe tomorrow. The 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:39.120 People's Liberation Army. Some of their that's the Chinese Commingist 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:45.119 Army have some of their publications on psychological warfare against 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.560 the United States have been found in translated and it's 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.120 amazing and nobody's. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.640 Talking about Now I haven't heard this. This is right 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.280 up my alley. I want to hear that, all right, 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:57.880 stay tuned. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.600 So just a quick question, going back to the the 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.560 social media platforms and the ai I and all this 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:07.200 sort of stuff. Do you think Altman being first in 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.840 with adult content is going to make all the other 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.600 companies go more that direction? 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.160 Yeah? Yeah, because I feel like it is. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.640 There are bunches of companies, but they're not like in 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.839 that top tier that we talk about all the time, 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.000 and they're already fully on board. 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:23.120 Right Yeah. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.320 I just thought it was kind of precious and silly 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.080 that groc wasn't allowing my dog. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.080 To say the F word. It's like, Okay, I mean, 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.240 I understand what you're trying to do, but let's live 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.839 in reality here. How about your dog doing the F work. 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.799 Well, they're like, like, you know, that's what I was thinking. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.360 There are ninety other platforms I could go to right 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.440 now if I wanted to take the time and get 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.560 the dog to say that. So what are you accomplishing 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.240 here with your precious. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:49.120 Little rule. 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:54.640 It's reputational, I think gotta be. Yeah, Elon's got enough 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.919 money though he can. He can be a lagging indicator 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.080 if he wants. I'm giving into that. 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:06.080 Yeah, yeah, well Elon has gone. 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:10.120 To have your pug sitting there saying give me my 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:11.080 effing food. 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.560 Kind of voice do you envision for the pug that 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.600 sort of cartoon. We didn't pick a voice, It just 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.240 picked a voice. I suppose we could have changed it. 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:22.880 It kind of looked like what you'd expect a pug 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:23.920 to sound like a pick a dog. 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.440 British accent would be funny. Oh, you're right. We got 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.240 that stuff Joe mentioned, and about a bunch of other 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.640 stuff on the way. Stay here. 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.960 Hi Kea has announced plans to build a small format 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.720 store in Manhattan that will be twenty five thousand square feet. 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.400 No word yet on when it'll open. It's got like 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:46.000 a jillion pieces and all Day Give You is like 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:47.520 one tiny Allen ranch. 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.400 I can get it, yeaps. Mocking the very product. 0:07:56.240 --> 0:08:01.240 We are so fat and naive and trouble as a 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:07.600 country and individuals, but as a country specifically to the 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.480 threat of China. Talk about this a lot, but it's 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:12.040 so obvious and so troubling. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:13.200 I don't know what to do about it. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.400 I mean, I was thinking, you remember, and maybe I'll 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.800 dig it up again. We had that collection of all 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:25.560 the quotes from Chinese Communist Party high up officials and 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.480 intelligence agents and the military people talking about what an 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:33.880 incredible tool TikTok was and is for Chinese propaganda. And 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.280 that is known, it's a known known, And yet what 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:38.840 the hell's going on with the TikTok deal? 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.679 I haven't heard recently. I don't know. 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.439 We just let it happen, and then you have this 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:49.080 that nobody's really talking about, maybe because it takes a 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.520 little explanation and we're a very very short attention span people. 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:57.480 But the People's Liberation Army scholars have explained China's whole 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:03.560 of society cognitive warfare doc in a big report that 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:07.520 came out in twenty twenty two entitled Effectiveness, Mechanisms and 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:15.920 Strategic Selection in Cognitive Domain Operations and the name it's 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.360 been translating in English completely. This is kind of a 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.280 summary of it. It's written by a guy who is 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.680 in this world. So it's full of a lot of jargon, 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.640 which I'm going to skip around mostly, but it's authored 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.280 by a couple of scholars from the National Defense University's 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:32.719 Political Academy. 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:39.360 The piece which I just gave you the long name 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.120 of positions. 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:46.880 CDO or Cognitive Domain operations as a sophisticated evolution of 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:52.080 psychological warfare, drawing heavily from Konnman's theories, Tirsky's he heuristics 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:56.280 and biases, and research and information theoretic concepts like overload 0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:00.160 and entropy not to build resilience but to weaponize cognitive vult. 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.319 Wow, you get the word heuristic say and entropy in 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:04.080 the same sentence. 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.360 I know, I know, it's it's a good day for 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:14.200 me anyway. But it emphasizes strategies like meme propagation, algorithmic manipulation, 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:19.840 and echo chambers to disrupt enemy decision making, foster cognitive biases, 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:25.600 and achieve strategic dominance without direct combat. And it goes 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.240 into without direct comity detail. That's what I was talking 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:28.880 about the other day. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.319 What I thought was so clever from watching sixty minutes, 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.360 the way they're hacking into allar systems stuff like that 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:39.440 is to avoid the full on nuclear war with a 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.800 power that rivals you, and you know, take it down 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:45.359 or defeat it in other ways. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:50.160 Well yeah, well, said the authors situate China's approaches within 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:55.120 the context of Western doctrines blah blah blah, but with 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:59.960 a distinctly offensive bias exploiting focus rooted in sun sous 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:05.400 quote subduing the enemy without fighting. M They are pouring 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:09.000 as much energy and well maybe not as much, but 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:10.800 energy and a hell of a lot of money into 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:15.520 this style of attacking their enemy, the United States and 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.840 or just blissfully unaware, which astounds. 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.199 Because we've been counting on for so many decades now, 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.480 the fact that we can just obliterate anybody. We're the 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.480 opposite end of it. We don't need to whatever that is, 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.880 defeat you without going to battle. We want to go 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.520 to battle because we could beat anybody. And that has 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:34.679 worked for a very long time. 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.160 But wow, that's they're. 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:37.719 Not trying to win hearts and minds. They're trying to 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.840 twist hearts and minds just a little more. Because there's 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.640 a stunning amount of detail to this, and I'm kind 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:42.480 of skipping around but. 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.640 Two features of. 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.400 The source of what they're doing are especially valuable analytically 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:52.239 and weren't foregrounding. That would be the five step sequence 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:58.920 figure that operationalizes how attention capture framing an algorithmic curation 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:04.720 lead to chamber driven bias, amplification and reinforcement, and the 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:09.520 chemical reaction model triad that maps content et cetera. And 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.440 roles both improved a bunch of technical stuff. But they 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.679 have their best scientists, their best cognitive scientists, working on 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:22.600 this stuff and are doing it through you know, social media, 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.960 including apps that the Chinese Communist Party itself controls, and 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:32.600 we're just letting them. I don't know what else to say. 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.240 I don't know how is every podcast in America not 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.440 talking about this well right? 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.079 I don't understand how that story from sixty Minutes or 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.680 first story Sunday Night isn't like the biggest story in 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:43.240 the country. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.760 The President has already addressed it. Every town in America. 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.040 There have been people saying to their mayor, are we 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.959 prepared for this? But we're not. 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:56.560 Because we are what you said earlier, Yeah, fat lazy content. 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.080 We just been dominant for so long. We just don't 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.360 think anybody could actually touch us. We're going to find out. 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.079 I think maybe over confident is the best. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.480 This confident is the best as the best. 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:13.000 We're uh, we're Mike Tyson thinking nobody could possibly possibly 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:14.840 be this. At some point we're gonna be crawling around 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.080 on the canvas looking for our. 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.800 Mouthpiece, which is unfortunately and our trainer is trying to 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.280 tell us. Our trainer being us in this case. Hey, 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.720 this guy's got a wicked left. You've got to watch 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.840 out for it. I'll be fine. And you haven't been 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.440 training me about his left. You haven't been training quite 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:30.439 the way you used to be. 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:37.520 I'll be fine. My pigtons been feeding my pigeons. I 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:38.440 don't know why I had. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.480 To bring in his pigeons and use his lisp. I 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:43.800 don't know why I needed to do. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.000 That, because he's such a colorful character he is. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:48.280 Uh. 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.080 Yeah, Well, that story'll be around for the rest of 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:50.400 our lives. 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:54.600 Us versus China, it's all about the grass of OFV doctrine, Jack, 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.160 And just scroll down a little further. What the grass 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.880 and OFV doctrine that blends us so often hard power 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.800 to achieve victory without fighting Russia? The Soviet Union than 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.400 Russia has been trying to do this sort of thing 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:10.280 for ages, but China's way way better about it, way 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:11.200 more sophisticated. 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:13.040 Yipes. 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.600 Do you have any opinion on US giving Trump saying 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.400 he'll give twenty billion dollars to Argentina if they re 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.480 elect Malay, but won't give him the money if they 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:23.360 elect someone else. 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:29.680 Yeah, I think that's really good because they would squander 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.960 it if he if it's not Malay in charge. 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.520 On the other hand, who's persuaded? Excuse me? 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.600 That's not us trying to affect an election in the 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:38.840 way we're not supposed to or something. 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.160 It clearly is. Yeah, yeah, we want that guy, not 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.040 the other guy. Yeah, yeah, I'm not worried about that. 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:50.360 I'm more worried about the Argentinian people and the fact 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.960 that they could be a great and prosperous ally in 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.880 our hemisphere. And I was persuaded by an article I 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.960 read in the Wall Street Journal a monetary guy speaking 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.280 of technical jargon, but he was saying, no, you don't 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.720 do it this way. You've got to dollarize Argentina. You 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.320 got to get rid of their their local currency and 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.000 just do trade in dollars. That will stabilize the economy, 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.640 because Malay has got the the inflation down to I 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:22.520 think now thirty percent, which is a miraculously low number. 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.120 For urgent in the last decade. How do you live 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.920 in a society like that? How do things even work? 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:35.960 You take big bricks of cash to the store. It's ridiculous. Wow, in. 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.680 Unimportant news. Here's a book I won't read, but he'll 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.680 probably make the rounds Kevin Federline. Does that name ring 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:48.440 a bill bell for anyone? Britney Spears' ex husband and 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:52.040 baby daddy anyway, But we used to. 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.600 Make mild fun of But then in the infamous Britney 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.520 Spears some people may be ahead of us video, it 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.360 became clear that he was the bright one. 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:03.160 I think he is, and he is the one kind 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.680 of holding things together and trying to take care of 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.360 the kids. And he's got a new memoir out in 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.520 which he explains that the decision to release her from 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.640 her conservative conservatorship was a bad idea. He's a great 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.000 He's making the argument in his memoir that she's not 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.080 capable of being a mom or taking care of herself. 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.360 And but that's kind of interesting. I doubt I'm ever 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.080 going to read it. I might listen to a short 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:28.560 interview with him, though, Do we have a title? 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.520 I'm thinking towing the fetter line or I'm trying to 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:37.680 come up with a Brittany a Brittany related title. 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.240 Oops, she did it again. My life with Britney spears 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:43.960 and go we have a winner. 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.320 I walk into the kitchen and there she is, half 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:52.000 naked dancing with knives, posting on Instagram while I'm trying 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:52.920 to get the kids to bed. 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.640 Oh honey, honey, again with the knives. 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:02.680 Oh oh boy. I want to get into some of 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.919 the antifa ice stuff. Those battles continue to go on 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.640 in cities all across America. That's a complicated issue too. 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:11.720 If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.760 Getty on demand. 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:16.480 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.000 High Speed Chase ends on Chicago's Southeast Side. After Border 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:27.240 Patrol agents locate to Venezuelans they say are in the 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:31.080 US illegally. The suspect allegedly rammed a Border Patrol vehicle 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.440 and attempted to flee the scene. They were eventually stopped, 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.119 but as an angry mob formed and threw objects at agents, 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.879 crowd control measures like tear gas were deployed. Meantime, across 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.480 the border, DHS as Mexican criminal gangs are placing bouties 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:47.320 on the heads of federal law enforcement in coordination with 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.280 domestic extremist. 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:53.480 Groups, including Antifa, which we'll get to in a moment 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.840 or two. The chaos right there at the edge of 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.280 Chicago that's really emerged. 0:17:58.280 --> 0:17:58.760 It's kind of the. 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:03.040 Hotbed of the crazy is Portland, Sorry, move aside, Chicago's 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:09.080 on stage now. Mike Tobin of Fox News continues his report. 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.679 Protests turn to riots almost every weekend in broadview, and 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:17.160 the Illinois governor threatens prosecution of ice in border patrol agents. 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:18.800 The tables will turn someday. 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.840 Maybe they're not going to get prosecuted today, although we're 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:26.240 looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:27.360 the Trump administration. 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:35.639 You're getting prosecuted for what I miss that. Play that again, Michael. 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.919 Protests turn to riots almost every weekend in broadview, and 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:45.400 the Illinois governor threatens prosecution of ice in border patrol agents. 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.000 The tables will turn someday. 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:50.040 Maybe they're not going to get prosecuted today, although we're 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:54.680 looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the. 0:18:54.600 --> 0:19:02.160 Trump administration, you're going to bring state charges against federal 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.920 officers for doing their. 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.959 Jobs, doing their jobs in a way you don't approve of. 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:17.200 But I assume his goal was there to send a 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:21.639 chill wind through the halls of the Ice Agency to 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:22.560 where agents think. 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:26.240 I don't want to deal with that. This sucks. Yeah, 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:27.080 it's possible. 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.080 I think more it's just him trying to out Gavin 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:32.399 Newsom Gavin Newsom and show himself to be the great 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:37.840 battler against Trump. I guess the next clip Michael seventy two. 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.680 Two hundred Texas National Guardsmen are now stuck in a 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.920 training facility southwest of the city as a federal appeals 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.480 court ruled they cannot patrol where the governor does not 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:50.040 want them, prompting President Trump to threaten using the Insurrection 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.639 Act to override both the court and Governor. 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.280 Pritchger, I think he should beg for help because he's 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:59.760 running a bad operation and whatever you mentioned insurrection. 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:01.119 Yeah, I mean I could do that. 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.320 Yeah, and I'm tired of that. It's I mean, the 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:05.960 left trying to make January sixth. 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:06.760 It was a riot. 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:10.280 It was ugly, it was bad, it was highly regrettable, 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.240 but calling everything an insurrection all the time on both sides. 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:15.920 Not every riot is an insurrection. 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.040 Well, and Trump threatens that stuff because he gets the 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.520 media to jump and talk about it on a panel 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:23.680 segment on cn N or MSNBC for eight hours every day, 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.480 and then he doesn't do it so far, so far 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.840 he is abided by whatever judge rulings come down. 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.040 Right. Indeed, so Pam Bondi was making the rounds. 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:37.760 She was talking to Hannity and addressed the situation seventy four. 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:41.760 Michael, you know how many missing children we found in Memphis? 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:45.840 Of forty four, finding one missing child makes it all worthwhile. 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.439 Abducted children who are on their own, all under the 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:53.760 age of eighteen, teenagers and younger. Forty four missing children. 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:57.560 Some have been taken by non custodial parents, but forty 0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:58.720 four have been recovered. 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:00.520 And then you take that to Chicago. 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:03.160 They had five hundred and seventy one homicides last year. 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.440 Pritsker should be begging Donald Trump to come in. Pritzker's 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:07.280 lost his mind. 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:11.080 That's both Hannity and Pambondy tipping their caps to the 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:15.520 crowd out there, because I know some of you who 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:19.440 your number one issue is the three hundred thousand children 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:23.440
