1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: and Getta and he Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: Fighting these fires has been a nearly impossible task.

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: Tornado like wind gusts up to one.

6
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: Hundred miles per hour are catapulting embers in all directions.

7
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: Some firefighters have been working forty eight hour shifts evacuating residents, patients,

8
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: the elderly, anyone in harm's way. Now, California Governor Gavenusam

9
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: is deploying the California National Guard to try to help.

10
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 3: Almost impossible to imagine a forty eight hour shift of anything,

11
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: let alone firefighting in the wind. This important to mention

12
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 3: as people start to jump on the evil insurers who

13
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 3: dropped the fire coverage.

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: For these homes. In some cases, as we.

15
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: Know personally from someone weeks ago, right before the fires hit,

16
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: Proposition one oh three in California made it illegal to

17
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 3: accurately price fire insurance. Insures can only use historical data,

18
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: not projections of what it actually costs now to rebuild

19
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: a house or to fix a house up, And so

20
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: it just didn't make sense for them to keep doing it.

21
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 4: So they said, either we're not writing any more policies, goodbye,

22
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 4: or we're dropping our current policy holders, which is their

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 4: absolute right to do.

24
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: By the way, I got to throw this out there

25
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: just because I know it's floating around. I have a

26
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 3: window into a certain segment of the social media world.

27
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 3: I don't know how many people this represents. But the

28
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: fires were set on purpose under the homes of the

29
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: pedophiles to hide the evidence of their child trafficking.

30
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: That's the QAnon sort of thing. Please get help. Do

31
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: you have any sense of how many people are into

32
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: that is it? Is it a tenth of one percent

33
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: or three percent? I don't really know.

34
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: Well, one percent of the country obviously would be what's

35
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 4: three point three million people? Three point four million, which

36
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 4: which so tenth of one percent would be three hundred

37
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: and forty thousand. And if they tweeted much or facebook much,

38
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 4: it would seem like, all, what, Yeah, if three hundred

39
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 4: and forty thousand people are hot to trot for an idea,

40
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 4: you would get the idea.

41
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: It's it's caught on.

42
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 4: That is so bat as crazy, Yes it is, yeah, yeah, man. Anyway,

43
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: So I really want to talk about the oral arguments

44
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 4: in front of the Supreme Court tomorrow about the TikTok ban.

45
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 4: I find it one of the most intriguing First Amendment

46
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: questions I can think of, And it's fun because I

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: get what both sides are saying, and at some point

48
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 4: I want to scroll through. It happens to be Tim Sanderfer,

49
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: our good old friends Tim Sanderfer from the Goldwater Foundation

50
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 4: Twitter feed a lot about the wildfires in California and

51
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 4: the government and the Coastal Commission and regulation, all sorts

52
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 4: of stuff, super interesting. But the one thing I want

53
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: to get out is as Gavin Newsome and others are

54
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 4: immediately going to climate change right always, here's John Hook

55
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: of Fox ten who makes the point to blame every

56
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 4: natural disaster on climate change gives politicians and policy makers

57
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 4: blanket immunity for inemptitude.

58
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: So most journalists fail to see through this.

59
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: John brilliantly put absolutely, and if you point out anything

60
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: other than climate change, you're kind of on the side

61
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: of the climate change deniers.

62
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: Well yeah, it's a beautiful, like all purpose canard fake

63
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 4: argument in that it gives you the blanket immunity and

64
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 4: it promotes the scam, which is routing taxpayer dollars to

65
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 4: your cronies who will keep you in power for the

66
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: rest of your days if possible.

67
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow.

68
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: Anyway, having said that, here's interesting. Here's my TikTok lead in.

69
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 3: I can tell you I will be vague, very nice,

70
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 3: very smart people, young people who had TikTok on their phones.

71
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: As talking to over Christmas. I brought up the fact

72
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: that it's the Chinese Communist Party spying on you getting

73
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 3: into your phone making a profile, and I was told

74
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: that is.

75
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: A conspiracy theory. Wow by smart people.

76
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, I wonder where they heard that, right, No, kidd,

77
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 4: So here is the deal.

78
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: And the reason this is so interesting is.

79
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 4: Because, well, to me is because I'm a damn near

80
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 4: First Amendment absolutist. As they say, yes, you can come

81
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 4: up with examples of stuff I would restrict, of course,

82
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 4: but I am a hardcore. The cure for bad ideas

83
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: is better ideas. The cure for bad speech is more speech.

84
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 4: I despise what the Biden administration did in the social

85
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 4: media companies during COVID, Absolutely despise it. If violence would

86
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 4: have solved it, I'd have been tempted.

87
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: I think I know that you think sold everything.

88
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: Somebody gets an infection, you say, more free speech, that's

89
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: how you cure it.

90
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 4: That's well, that's okay, so ah, so I am absolutely

91
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: on that side of it. On the other hand, I

92
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 4: am in favor of and nobody's talking about banning TikTok

93
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 4: per se. They're saying the current entity bite dance, which

94
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 4: dances to the tune called by the Chinese Communists.

95
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 3: They said they don't have not own TikTok. They said

96
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: they don't by dance says they don't.

97
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god. The Communists would never lie to us.

98
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: The country that has sworn that they will crush us

99
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 4: and surpass us and lead the world, would never mislead us,

100
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 4: even though that's like a cherished part of Chinese culture.

101
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: You deceive your enemy in two weakness.

102
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: Well, I make that sarcastic comment because I think that's

103
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: often the missing piece. There's no such thing as a

104
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 3: private company in China. If you have a company in China,

105
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: you have to do what the Communist party wants. They

106
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: have access to whatever they want, or you don't get

107
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: to exist.

108
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 4: Right, And it's correct me if I'm wrong, I think

109
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 4: Tim or our good old friend Tim Sanderfer is against

110
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 4: this action by the government. I think you're right because

111
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 4: and I don't want to speak for anybody, because there

112
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: are nuances here.

113
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: It is dicey as you're about to get into because.

114
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 4: Well, right, because the First Amendment does protect me saying,

115
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: for instance, I mean I can say I think Hijinping's right.

116
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 4: I think China ought to run the world. I can

117
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 4: repeat foreign propaganda.

118
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: I have that right.

119
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: The country would be better if China was the leader

120
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: of the world order. It would be better for all

121
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 3: of us. You can say that, and we can't outlaw

122
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 3: outlet's who say that.

123
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: Right.

124
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 4: There are plenty of people, several of their names, repeating

125
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 4: Russian propaganda right now, which is absolute horsecrap. And you

126
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 4: ought to be smarter than that. But having said that,

127
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,559
Speaker 4: here's the deal, and and I am not. I would

128
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: like to spend all of my time for the next

129
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 4: week studying up on this question, but I don't have time.

130
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: Do you remember we.

131
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 4: All got hip too, you know, in the early days

132
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: of everybody having a smartphone and having apps, and how

133
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 4: great all the free apps were. Took a little while,

134
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 4: but most of us got hip to the fact that

135
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: if it's free.

136
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: It's because you are the product.

137
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: That card game, that angry birds, that that shopping app,

138
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 4: will you name it exists.

139
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: To collect your data.

140
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 4: All they did was come up with a clever way

141
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: of how to entice you into giving them your data.

142
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, free chess app my son came across the other day.

143
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: Oh no, I can download on my computer. I ain't

144
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: play chess for free. And it's another one of those

145
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: one you download it, they get to look at every

146
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: key stroke you ever make apps or perhaps they're ADS supported,

147
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: which is fine, We're ad supported.

148
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: It's the way you do business.

149
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: But the point is TikTok is not a social media

150
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 4: trading videos platform.

151
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: At its core, it.

152
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 4: Is a tool of Chinese Communist Party surveillance and manipulation

153
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: of our young people.

154
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: That is why it exists now.

155
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 4: The manifestation of that is how it does what it does,

156
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 4: and how it does it right now is what people

157
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 4: are arguing about. But because and this is a new

158
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: era that our founding fathers didn't reckon with, at least

159
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 4: not specifically, you have a tool designed and implemented by

160
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: the Chinese Communist Party by proxy. Because I don't for

161
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 4: a second disagree with you Jack, if you can be

162
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: manipulated by the Chinese Communist Party, you are or will be.

163
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 4: So you've got an app that exists to collect data

164
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 4: and influence minds that is controlled by proxy for now

165
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: or directly, we don't know, by the Chinese Communist Party.

166
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: If you just say, look, you got to several ties

167
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 4: with any Chinese overlords. And then, and this is the

168
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: government's argument, you can do precisely what you're doing right

169
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 4: now in the way you're doing it, but it can't

170
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: be controlled by the Chinese Communist Party because that is

171
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 4: the federal law that the that the federal government and

172
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 4: for once I agree with Biden administration is resting on

173
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 4: And I don't remember the specific name of the act,

174
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 4: but the act targets control by a foreign adversary, not

175
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: the speech.

176
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.

177
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 3: I actually listened to the Advisory Opinions podcast from The

178
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: Dispatch the other day with New York Times lawyer columnist

179
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: David French and Sarah Isger, both Harvard lawyers, arguing over this.

180
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: Most of it was way over my head, but yeah,

181
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: their whole thing was you got to stay away from

182
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: the speech part. You can't make it about the content

183
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: because you get because if you get into that only no,

184
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: you get to have a newspaper in the United States

185
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: that's communist and says communism is better all day, every day,

186
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: I mean always, We've been doing that in the United States.

187
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 3: But it gets pretty dicey if it's who's behind it

188
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 3: and what extent do you mean behind it?

189
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: Right, that's a tough one.

190
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: And I realize what I'm about to say is a

191
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 4: little gray area, slippery slope, but it's true. Nonetheless, in

192
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 4: the era of AI and leaps forward in computer technology,

193
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 4: we don't fully understand the capability of TikTok in what

194
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: it's being used for or what it will be used for.

195
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 4: It is absolutely a tool being wielded by our most

196
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: dangerous enemy, and I think we need to air while

197
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 4: protecting the speech to the side of if China's in

198
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: favor of it, I'm against it.

199
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think that makes me a lunatic. Yeah,

200
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: that was one of the things I was hoping. I thought.

201
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: I was hoping that as the word got out that

202
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: TikTok is the Chinese Communist Party misleading you, that so

203
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: many people would not be interested in using it. But

204
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: as I was told one it's a conspiracy theory in

205
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: two people said, yeah, but it's so much fun.

206
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and we are dealing with a horrible situation

207
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 4: where are young are indoctrinated to hate their country. So

208
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 4: if your argument is we've got to protect the United

209
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 4: States of America from the Chinese, they're like, why would

210
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 4: we bother? This is the most racist country on earth.

211
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 4: It's a colonial oppressor.

212
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: Well.

213
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: Trump and Kamala were both on TikTok during the election

214
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: because that's such a good way to reach young people, right.

215
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 4: Right, And what he has to say about it should

216
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 4: be interesting going forward. Like everything else, he thinks he

217
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 4: can negotiate a much better deal than the previous guys did.

218
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: Well, he seems to be right. He seems to have

219
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: changed his mind.

220
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: Trump, as always, he makes statements where he always leaves

221
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 3: himself out. But it seems that he's changed his mind

222
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: on the TikTok thing that is supposed to end on

223
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 3: the nineteenth, the day before the inauguration.

224
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: We'll see. Yeah, he's gone back and forth. Who knows.

225
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: It's scary. Though.

226
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: One thing I wish would happen is, uh, we could get.

227
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: Their algorithm, I guess, because that's what they got.

228
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 3: Going for him, right, the best algorithm ever for figuring

229
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 3: out what it is you're interested in and keeping you addicted.

230
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: All day long, and to ruin the brains of very

231
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: young Yes, nice, more on the way, stay here, Armstrong.

232
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 5: Hey, So what we are seeing is the result of

233
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 5: eight months of negligible rain and wins that have not

234
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 5: been seen in LA in at least fourteen years.

235
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: It's a deadly combination. Scot's Mayor Bass of Los Angeles.

236
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: She finally got back to town with the biggest disaster

237
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: in LA history happening is out of town. I don't

238
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 3: think that's a particularly big deal. Her leadership on this

239
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 3: and some of her comments around fire prevention and all

240
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: kinds of different things over the years have been horrific.

241
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: But here's a little more of what she had to

242
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: say that's being mocked right now.

243
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 5: If you need help, emergency information, resources and shelter is available.

244
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 5: All of this can be found at you Arel. Los

245
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 5: Angeles together is how we will get through this.

246
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: At yourel.

247
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: A lot of these people that get to be elected

248
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: are leaders, are terrible leaders. They're all kinds of good

249
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 3: at working political machinery and knowing where the various power.

250
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 3: Structured grievances are or money, money, all that different sort

251
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 3: of stuff. But they're not leaders in any sense. If

252
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 3: you're you know, you're out of your home because it

253
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: burnt down here, all the help you need is that you.

254
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: Are l okay.

255
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 4: Alan Karen Bascott cut seventy million dollars from the fire

256
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 4: budget even while she campaigned for lavish services for illegal immigrants.

257
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 4: Did one equal the other? I don't know, let's find out.

258
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 4: Let's talk about that.

259
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 3: Here she was attempted to border a plane and board

260
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 3: a plane and being asked a whole bunch of questions

261
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: by a reporter.

262
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 6: Do you owe citizens and apology for being absent while

263
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 6: their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire

264
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 6: department budget by millions of dollars?

265
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: Not in there?

266
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 6: Have you nothing to say today that I have you

267
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 6: absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today? Alon Musk

268
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 6: says that you're utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position,

269
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 6: madam mayor? Have you absolutely nothing to say to the

270
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 6: citizens today here dealing with this disaster? No apology for them?

271
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 6: Do you think you should have been visiting Ghana while

272
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 6: this was unfolding?

273
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: Back home.

274
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: So in the same way that because of all the

275
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: illegal immigrants in New York, Donald Trump got more votes

276
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: in New York than any Republican I think ever, I

277
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: mean just crazy support compared to anything any Republicans got

278
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 3: in the past. Same thing might happen in LA around

279
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: the whole fire story. New York Post with this story

280
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 3: celebrities turn on DEM's blast LA Mayor for fire response

281
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: ruined our state. A whole bunch of quotes from big

282
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: time Hollywood types who are unhappy with their own side

283
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 3: and the way they've had it.

284
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: And this is the sort of thing you don't forget.

285
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 3: This isn't just like a passing I'm mad now, but

286
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: I'll get over it sort of story.

287
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 4: You would hope you could figure out that policy equals

288
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: results before your house burns down.

289
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: But maybe that's what it takes for some people.

290
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: Right, and you just don't vote for the party that

291
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: has pronouns or says the right things about LATINX or whatever,

292
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,479
Speaker 3: and you actually look at the policies.

293
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: But this could be the LA version of what happened

294
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: in New York over immigration. I think, to get.

295
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 4: Back to the previous thought about climate change, I love

296
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: this once again from Tim Lawyer. The environmentalism religion offers

297
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 4: its own handy excuses. It's climate change's fault. You can't

298
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: blame a mass. We could never have foreseen it. The

299
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 4: only precautions we could possibly take would be the overthrow

300
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 4: of capitalism and the destruction of all technology.

301
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: That's right. It is a great blanket excuse.

302
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 4: Now, yes it's incredibly dry, and yes it's incredibly windy,

303
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 4: and yeah that's it's like a crazy coming together of

304
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 4: terrible factors. But you're cutting the budget of the fire

305
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 4: department to provide services to illegal immigrants and not the

306
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: people of La.

307
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: County, and everybody knows it's fire prone.

308
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 4: Joe Rogan, among others, has been saying, hey, one day,

309
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 4: this entire place is going to go up, So don't

310
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 4: blame climate change or the wind.

311
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: Well, if you need help, go to URL. That's what

312
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: I say.

313
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: We're watching the Carter funeral, the multi hour spectacle unfold.

314
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: The talk of the funeral so far is Barack Obama

315
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: and Donald Trump yucking it up for many, many minutes

316
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 3: before this thing started.

317
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: What were they talking about. Somebody's got to find out.

318
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: Among other stories we've got for you coming up, stay

319
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: with us, Armstrong and Geeddy. So Joe Biden's the only

320
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: former president speaking at Carter's funeral today.

321
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: They're all there.

322
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 3: In the first couple of rows, and Joe Biden is

323
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: just taking the microphone and we'll keep an eye on that.

324
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 3: Oh boy, see how it goes. Barack Obama just leaned

325
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 3: into Trump. Just watch, he's going to tell that stupid

326
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 3: corvette story again. Biden's at some point gonna say, Jimmy

327
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 3: is Jimmy here? I was told Jimmy Carter would be here.

328
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: Oh where's Jimmy. Where's Jimmy? Where's Jimmy? So Jimmy would

329
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: be here? Oh boy, I hope not. I hope that

330
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: doesn't happen.

331
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 4: Well, and when they're done, I hope the minister doesn't

332
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 4: shout next.

333
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 3: Oh boy, Joe's got a belief that we could get

334
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 3: it two for one going here. Everybody's in the dark

335
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 3: suits already, right, Garth Brooks is there to sing a.

336
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: Song, might get a buy one. Get on, Do you

337
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: feel like you're going soon? That would be a good time.

338
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: Oh boy, really probably inappropriate. Let's move on.

339
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 4: Come on. I will tell you this A couple of

340
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 4: technoes as an introduction. I'll point out that there's a

341
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: big piece in the Atlantic which is it does really

342
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 4: good long form journalism, but ninety percent of the time

343
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 4: it's obnoxiously left and just annoying. But one of the

344
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 4: pieces they're running this month is the anti social century.

345
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 4: Americans are now spending more time alone than ever. It's

346
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 4: changing our politics, our personality, even our relationship to reality.

347
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 4: I think, I think that is the answer to virtually

348
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 4: every question that's plaguing the modern mind. Is so much

349
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 4: of our interaction as virtual. Now we don't spend time

350
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 4: with humans.

351
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 3: I have a bit of an insight into that. And yes,

352
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: and that last one you said is the biggest problem.

353
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: What was the last part of that? It was the

354
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: we don't spend time with humans.

355
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: No, no, no, your list of it's causing all of

356
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 3: our Oh oh, and there you had a list of

357
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 3: things with commas between him. Was the last relationship to reality?

358
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: Yes, that's the problem. Yeah. Once you lose your relationship

359
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: to reality, everything's kind of a problem.

360
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 4: Well, yes, if you're no longer grounded in what you

361
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 4: can see here, feel, smell, observe every day and the

362
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 4: ideas that you trade with the people you actually interact

363
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 4: with virtually any idea seems as good as any other idea.

364
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: Well, I saw that Atlantic piece about that. The part

365
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 3: that stuck out to me was men are doing a

366
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 3: lot of watching TV, which has always been true, but

367
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: maybe it's more now. Are they watching TV or staring

368
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: at a screenplaying video games? Whichever it doesn't make any difference.

369
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 3: It said here men who watch television spend seven hours

370
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 3: in front of the TV for every hour they spend

371
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 3: hanging out with somebody outside their home. This one struck me,

372
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 3: and I think it's absolutely true. The typical female pet

373
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: owner spends more time actively engaged with their pets than

374
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 3: she spends and faced FaceTime with contact and her friends

375
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 3: of her own species. That seems to be the thing

376
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: for girls. Guys play video games, watch sports, et cetera.

377
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: Women, it's the pets man. The airport is full of pets.

378
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: It's all chicks with their dogs. It's the motherhood urge.

379
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 3: That's the that's their companion is the pet. Oh, here's

380
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 3: Katie who has a dog. Yes, Katie who has a

381
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: dog wears clothes, Yes, Katie.

382
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 7: Oh, I spend so much time with my dog and

383
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 7: in his face and actually.

384
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: My husband knows so that he doesn't work. My husband works, Frankie.

385
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: Frankie's here all day long. You got a husband, you

386
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: got married.

387
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 3: I think the point of this whole isolation thing is

388
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: people alone with us.

389
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: And don't need any other relationship because of that.

390
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 4: Although I would point out that your dog has a

391
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 4: very human sounding name, it's not.

392
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 7: He is quite dapper. I will say, I know you

393
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 7: guys hate how much I love my dog, and I

394
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 7: just no, no, I love my dog, but.

395
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: You don't put a shirt.

396
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 5: I got it.

397
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: I did get him a matching shirt Withdrew. You know

398
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: they got matching flannels. What can I say?

399
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 3: Will your dog and your husband at matching shirts? Not

400
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: at all troubling? Actually, that sounds really funny. They have

401
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 3: matching flannel shirts.

402
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: I love that.

403
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got. I got Frankie a red plannel with

404
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 7: black Andrew as the same one. I'll take a picture

405
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 7: and I both post it somewhere.

406
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 3: In all honesty, I was aware of this when I

407
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: was out there in the single world, when I was

408
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 3: a little bit younger. The whole woman, their friends or

409
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: their pets that dominates their lives. Thing is it's a thing,

410
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 3: and obviously the guys playing video games all the time

411
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 3: is a thing. So those two things coming together, you

412
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 3: got both sides of the equation with plenty of companionship.

413
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: Using my finger quotes, that doesn't require any more than that,

414
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: I guess well.

415
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 4: And not only that, And I was going to end

416
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 4: my philosophizing because it's hard to stop once you get started.

417
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: But one more thing.

418
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 4: In each case you have a simulacrum, if you will,

419
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: or a substitute.

420
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: Four.

421
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 4: When we're talking about the gal motherhood, they're raising a

422
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 4: pet and treating it like the baby instead of a baby.

423
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 4: And in the case of the men, they are not

424
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 4: out building success in the business world or fighting wars.

425
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: They're pretending to on a screen. And what we've learned

426
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: is and apparently is true that whether it's porn or

427
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: the things you just mentioned remembered things, there is a

428
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: low bar of what you need to get of satisfaction

429
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: of those desires. And it's good enough to not need

430
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: the real thing, right exactly. Yes, sex is the same. Yeah, troubling.

431
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was one ad that bothered me so much

432
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 4: I wish I had the actual audio. It was one

433
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 4: of your big war themed video games in which The

434
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 4: tagline was you can be a hero, and it was

435
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 4: delivered dead seriously, not like I mean if it was

436
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 4: he can be a hero. You know, all right, we're

437
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 4: playing a video game. We're having fun. No, it was

438
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 4: dead fing serious in a message to young men. And

439
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 4: I couldn't help but think that is the last thing

440
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 4: you are. I mean, you might be really good at

441
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 4: that video game and it's fun to play with your friends.

442
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 4: I have young men in my life that I know

443
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 4: who do that with their friends, and that's fine. That's

444
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 4: fine to do it to some extent. But if it

445
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 4: becomes a substitute for the things that give a man

446
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 4: purpose in life, then it's a problem.

447
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: Well, I mentioned yesterday on the show.

448
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 3: I won't do the full story here, but some working

449
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: class regular guys who are doing the chat GPT girlfriend

450
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 3: thing who.

451
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: Say it's really great. Oh boy.

452
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 3: They have conversations. You get home from work, you have

453
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 3: a conversation with her. How is your day? How do

454
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: I look? She tells you how you look. She's always

455
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: there for you.

456
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 4: You know, humankind had a good run. Now it's time

457
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 4: to give the planet to Michael. I'll let you check

458
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: choose the species this time. I usually go with beavers

459
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 4: because they're hardworking, they're industrious, they build structures, Monkeys apes, I.

460
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: Like money in the I think monkey's planet, monkeys monkey monkeys,

461
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: and or a monkey's comma planet of the So all

462
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: of that was an.

463
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 4: Unnecessarily long introduction to a couple of tech stories that

464
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 4: have found very interesting. John Deere, the great American company

465
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 4: that recently abandoned its neo Marxist DEI programs, thankfully, way

466
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 4: to go, John Dear, because it's not about diversity. It's

467
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 4: marx is a masquerading as the desire for diversity, which

468
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 4: a lot of people still haven't figured out. Anyway, Deer

469
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 4: has introduced plans to introduce a range of self driving

470
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 4: farm and work vehicles, tractors, dump trucks, robotic lawnmowers. Well,

471
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 4: it's funny, this article says, even a robotic lawnmower. Point

472
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 4: all over the country. Who are using those?

473
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: Right now?

474
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 3: Get out of the way, here comes the lawnmower. Oh yeah,

475
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 3: how good are they? Hope they're good? Oh they're outstanding. Yeah,

476
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 3: they all use GPS and everything. They're fantastic.

477
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 4: Anyway, Deer's doubling down on its commitment to autonomous technology

478
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 4: for farm vehicles. No farmer needed. Well, there's just have

479
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 4: to manage the automation.

480
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 3: A lot of that sort of stuff is mindless, and

481
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: I did tons of it when I was younger, just

482
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: driving back and forth and rows and everything like that.

483
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 3: It's amazing that there are still human beings doing that.

484
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, including you know, some of the mindless stuff

485
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 4: is done by the actual farmers who have enormous knowledge

486
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 4: of chemicals and obviously you know, horticulture, soils, weather technology.

487
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 4: They can fix anything. They do the books. I mean,

488
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 4: the modern farmer knows more than you do by a

489
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 4: factor of three. They're really impressive people, and so it

490
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 4: doesn't make sense that they're going back and forth, back

491
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 4: and forth, back and forth. Some of them have employees obviously,

492
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 4: but anyway, it's inevitable. You want to get out of

493
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 4: the way of the lawnmarer. Here's what I want to

494
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 4: get out of the way of a self driving articulate

495
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 4: dump truck. That means that has a couple of different

496
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: segments that can carry more than ninety two thousand pounds

497
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 4: at a time. That thing ain't stopping for nothing.

498
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 3: Wow, how many little kids on bikes are gonna get

499
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 3: run over by those. Next topic also tech related, and

500
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 3: this has a lot more to do with most of us.

501
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 3: The headline is AI's next leap requires intimate access to

502
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: your digital life.

503
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: It's about to happen.

504
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 4: Big, these AI agents. They're calling them. That term may evolve,

505
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 4: I don't know. It's using AI to complete tasks like

506
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 4: book me a vacation, you know, more complex tasks that

507
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 4: involve interacting with websites, doing one thing than the other

508
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: than the other.

509
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 3: Obviously, for it's a book a vacation for you, it

510
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 3: would need credit card data and all kinds of different stuff.

511
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 4: Well yeah, yeah, and that's exactly where we're going. But

512
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 4: it will take care of more complex things. They give

513
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 4: a couple of more examples, online shopping data entry, eventually

514
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 4: tackling complex work that can take humans hours. But again,

515
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 4: it will need access to much much more of your

516
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 4: personal life, from credit card numbers to schedules to addresses

517
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 4: and phone numbers. Is easy enough to find online, but

518
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 4: if it is onlineable, it is hackable, of course, and

519
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 4: so the idea that your AI agent would know everything

520
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 4: about you all the time is just guaranteed to go sideways.

521
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: Isn't it.

522
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 3: I got a tech question I want to throw out

523
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 3: for people because I'll bet some of our audience has

524
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 3: an answer for this on resetting your algorithms, but I'll

525
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 3: ask it right after this.

526
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: You know what we ought to do.

527
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 4: We ought to recruit a tech guru and all things

528
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 4: tech guru. I have a couple of possibilities, but it'd

529
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 4: be handy to have a go to person like that.

530
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 4: We kind of do, but they're not always available anyway,

531
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,440

551
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 3: This question for our tech geniuses out there. Is there

552
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: a way to reset your algorithms out there? I'm not

553
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: on TikTok.

554
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: I am on YouTube and Instagram a little, but like,

555
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: for instance, I got into Bob Dylan for an Afternoon

556
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: on YouTube, so it gives me endless Bob Dylan suggestions.

557
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm done with my Bob Dylan craze for now. I

558
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: don't need that. Or Nietzsche.

559
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: I just end a Nietzsche for ane afternoon over Christmas break,

560
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: never ending Nietzsche book reviews.

561
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: Quote the professor. I don't need that anymore. How do

562
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: you reset the dang thing so you're not swamped by

563
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: stuff you don't care about anymore, whether it's gardening or

564
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: a football team or whatever. Is there a way? I

565
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: was for a time really into clown Mma.

566
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 4: A couple of guys dressed to clown's beating the Bejesus

567
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 4: out of each other.

568
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: Now I'm over, And does anybody do this? I do

569
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: this all the time.

570
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: There's something I see that I'm interested in on Instagram,

571
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: for instance, I think I don't want to click on

572
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 3: that because I don't want to be I don't want

573
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 3: to get swamped with that.

574
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: For the next six months. Like I looked at a

575
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: guitarvity now it's just a thing. The only thing this

576
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: guy is interested in is long guitar solos. Give him

577
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: John Mayer, give him Jimmy Hendrix, and no, I don't

578
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: need that at all. But is there a way to

579
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: reset that there needs to be.

580
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 4: There?

581
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: They're probably okay. Well, if you know text, click out

582
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: a variety of things, collage, football, nude chess, Martin Luther chess.

583
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: All I get is naked women in their boobs castling.

584
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: That's all I get. Four one, five cats. See it's

585
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: not chess.

586
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 3: My son's got that because I've been telling him to

587
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 3: look at YouTube videos for playing chess, because we play

588
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 3: chess all the time.

589
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: I said, you get better watch the experts. I got

590
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: all kinds of tips on there. But he gets an.

591
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: Endless feed of chess things, as if that's the only

592
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: thing you could possibly ever want to see.

593
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: It seems kind of dumb, doesn't it. That's why China

594
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: beats us on the TikTok. I have a feeling that

595
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: it's a little more nuanced than the only thing this

596
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: guy is interested in his guitar solos.

597
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 4: Of course, if anybody complains about their algorithms, they jailed them.

598
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: So true, there's.

599
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: That true that, But if you know anything about that,

600
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: I would love to hear about it. Got a horrible

601
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 3: update on the fires in la among other things.

602
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: On the way.

603
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 8: Armstrong Andy and demonstrating that they changed with the times. Eventually,

604
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 8: he did get a cell phone, and he one time

605
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 8: he called me sort of early on in that process, and.

606
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: On my phone it said Poppa Mobile. So I answered it.

607
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 8: Of course, I said, hey, pap blah. He said, who's this.

608
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 8: I said, this is Jason. He said, what are you

609
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 8: doing here? I said, I'm not doing anything. You called me?

610
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: He said, I didn't call you. I'm taking a.

611
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 8: Picture nuclear engineer, right, I.

612
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 3: Mean, that's funny. That's Jimmy Carter's grandson. When Jimmy Carter

613
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 3: got his first cell phone. I think we've all had

614
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 3: this experience with our parents or grandparents.

615
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 4: You may come across the transcript of his I happen

616
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 4: to be watching it in the studio on close captioning

617
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 4: on CNN. It was very, very funny and clever and affectionate,

618
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 4: and it was sweet.

619
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:08,959
Speaker 1: It was really cod I don't doubt it.

620
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 3: Like I've said many times the last week, Jimmy Carter

621
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 3: seems like a heck of a nice guy. Would be

622
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 3: a great grandpa, would be a great neighbor, all kinds

623
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: of different things. I don't want to making foreign policy

624
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 3: decisions or or domestic policy decisions necessarily. Byron York, writing

625
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: in The Washington Examiner yesterday, said the low point of

626
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,120

650
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: Q leaning.

Speaker 3: Right wingers, that's mostly people on the right correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

652
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 3: I saw this floating around on social media. The fires

653
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 3: in LA were started on purpose by these rich pedophiles

654
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 3: who were feel like with Trump coming in, the investigations

655
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 3: were going to begin, and they're trying to hide the

656
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 3: evidence of the pedophile ring. That is the reason we

657
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 3: have hundreds of thousands missing children in this country. If

00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: you're on the edge of divorce from reality. I think, yeah,

662
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 3: I would agree. Anyway, we got this text. Pull your

663
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 3: head out of your a's you idiots. Have you even

664
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 3: read any of the Q posts talking about Q and

665
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: on enough to realize that there is an s load

666
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: of accuracy and detail of real, truthful events and history

667
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 3: of the deep state, the crooks, criminals and pedophiles running

668
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 3: and ruining our country. F you are the typical MSM

669
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 3: outlet in the way that you criticize Q. As I

670
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 3: was getting in my car, I heard your screen on Q.

671
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 3: It fired me up. I hope to be a steady

672
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 3: thorn in your side there to remind you of your stupidity.

673
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 3: I think all the way back to the CDC and

674
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: the government ADS and Pfizer and MODERNA and paying your salaries,

675
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 3: you're just like the rest of the MSM.

676
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: Got it.

677
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 4: Well, that's a ridiculous assertion, but thank you for the note.

678
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 4: In response to the very first question, have we ever

679
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 4: read q'sp post. Yeah, At the beginning of the thing,

680
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 4: I was quote unquote turned on to QAnon by a

681
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 4: longtime listener and correspondent and read it and said, oh,

682
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 4: I recognize what this is. It's the sort of scam

683
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 4: that's eighty percent true. It takes things that are are

684
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 4: factual and indisputable and weaves them into a narrative that

685
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 4: is highly disputable, and it always moves the target, but

686
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 4: explains the moving of the target in a way that

687
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 4: pulls you along.

688
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: It's a scam.

689
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 4: It's easily recognizable as a scam if you are a

690
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 4: built to recognize scams and be a little bitter and

691
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 4: cynical about the world. The stuff about the CDC and COVID,

692
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 4: and that's one hundred percent true.

693
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: That's the eighty percent of the scam.

694
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 3: That's true, right, so exactly? But then where, where and

695
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 3: why does the whole Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and they're

696
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 3: all leading a pedophile ring? Where did that come from?

697
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: And why? What's the.

698
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 4: Maybe because it's so repugnant and compelling, I.

699
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: Guess it is.

700
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 3: Well, if it were true, it'd be beyond repugnant and compelling, right.

701
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 4: I mean, if they alleged that they were like abusing

702
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 4: wheat futures to make more money, nobody care.

703
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: Right, that's interesting. It's out there. Just thought maybe you'd

704
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: be interested in that.

705
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,960
