Speaker 1: Of Wow Live's from Studio se. It has nothing to

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: do with the fact that the scale.

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: Laughed at me today.

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 3: I got on the scale that didn't give me a number,

00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 3: just to please please just get off if you don't care,

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: I don't care.

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: That's what the scale said to me. Wow, it gave

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: up on you. Tough love exactly.

26
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm one to talk anyway, Live et cetera, Studio

27
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 3: c or Bunker under the tutelage of our general manager,

28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,919
Speaker 3: the soo tack, what's the stack?

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: The big speech last night, the state of the ass

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: kicking address? Oooh yeah, mega, hell you like me? Now

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: I want you to define big for me.

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: Oh it was huge again? Define big. That was immense,

33
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: I mean just.

34
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: Really big in terms of my definitions of you know what,

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: in terms of entertainment, in terms of like enduring significance.

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: Please.

37
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: But as politics is our national pastime, now surpassing even

38
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: the mighty NFL, I tuned in to be entertained, and

39
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: by god, I was entertained.

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: I can only watch like ten minutes before I had

42
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: to take my son to Scouts, and then I watched

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: Echo Chamber afterwards.

44
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: But I remember you saying.

45
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: Priorities, you had it nailed down many years ago. And

46
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: this was before the internet the way it is now

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 3: and everything like that. It's just back in the day.

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: I can understand why these were a big deal. You

49
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: never heard from the president really, and so when they

50
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 3: gave a big speech, everybody gathered around the TV to

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: see what does this gentleman think about various things. But

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: ever since cable news, and then certainly since the Internet

53
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: and everything else, good God, you hear from whoever's president

54
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: all day, every day. You know exactly what they think

55
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 3: about everything. You've heard all the phrases about everything. Why

56
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 3: would you need to ever gather around for one more

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: instance of that. It's it's a relic of it's an anachronism.

58
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: To get a clearer picture of the president's policy priorities,

59
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: right if you.

60
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: Say so, No, it's just I'm trying to come up

61
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 2: with an answer.

62
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: I think it mostly exists because it's so pomp and circumstance. Yeah,

63
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: which is in the part that I'm the Washington power folks.

64
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely right, crave. You're right, that's what keeps it going.

65
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: Uh, old media that like doesn't know how to break

66
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: out of this old stuff and cover news the way,

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, faster, smarter, younger. You know, Joe Rogan's not

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: going to talk about the freaking this address on his

69
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: show and he gets gazillions more viewers than any of

70
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: the CNN shows that we'll talk endlessly, endlessly about it.

71
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: So dominant media is stuck in it. And then you're right,

72
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: the powerful in Washington, d C. This is there.

73
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: Look how important we are fast that they get to

74
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: do a couple of years and they're never gonna want

75
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: to let go of.

76
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: That, right right, Well, it's all durists fathering year children

77
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: stopped last night. I'm approaching it strictly from a point

78
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: of view of entertainment, and as I pointed out, it

79
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: was fine entertainment. Indeed, really certainly, as a snapshot of

80
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: the current state of party politics in the United States,

81
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: there was some significance to you just it was a

82
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: glimpse of the lay of the land, and it was

83
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: extremely favorable to Republicans. I know better than to think

84
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: that will last permanently or anything close to permanently, but

85
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: as a snapshot, it was further evidence of an utterly sapped, clueless,

86
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: and directionless Democratic party. Now well, britt Hume, Well, one

87
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: thing brit Hume said last night, it was in forty

88
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: years of covering, this is the most partisan one of

89
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: these he's ever seen. But that's just the direction. I'm

90
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: guessing the second most partisan was the last one. I mean,

91
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: we've just been annoying that direction for years and years

92
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: and year. It was a step in that direction virtually

93
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: exactly the same as the last four steps in that direction, right,

94
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: Just not surprising at all.

95
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 3: Which, yeah, my main takeaway from almost everything these days

96
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: is enough norm breaking?

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: Can we stop norm breaking for a while? Maybe not?

98
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Bid luck with Brit Hume also said, if you ever

99
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: doubted that Donald Trump is the political colossus of our

100
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: time and our nation, this night and this speech should

101
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: have put that to rest. Yeah, yeah, I can't imagine

102
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: still doubting that. Honestly, Yes, who did doubt that? That's

103
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: a good question, Brit. Nobody drove it home.

104
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

105
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: There are a number of moments that we'll we'll talk

106
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: about that were fun and interesting and revealing. Not about

107
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: the president's policy priority, because again you hear those twenty

108
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: seven times a day. But the big moment, being a

109
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: senile old he wishes it was still the civil rights movement,

110
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: half non compassmentous joke of a man shaking his cane

111
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: angrily at the president. I mean, as symbols go, that

112
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: was a really good one. Yeah, Richl Green and not

113
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: the brilliant vocalist.

114
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you didn't see it, and good for you

115
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: if you didn't, and you fit in with most Americans.

116
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 3: I'm sure when ratings come out that you didn't see it.

117
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: But an old Democrat shook his cane and wouldn't stop yelling,

118
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: and they actually, you know, got the cops and ushered

119
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: him out. But Rich Lowry of the National Review tweeted,

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: Democrats are the party of the future, and if you

121
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: don't believe them, they have a seventy seven year old

122
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: man shaking his cane to prove it.

123
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: Well said Rich well said.

124
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: And then the other visual aspect of it that I

125
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: think was telling was the Democrats, who'd been ordered to

126
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: have a dignified presence by Hakeem Jeffries mostly did. There

127
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: is hackling and shouting in a crazed old man shaking

128
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: his cane representing the future. But the other saying that

129
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: they decided on was they were gonna sit there stone

130
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: faced with these little signs that said elon steeles or

131
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: not true or a couple other things. And it looked

132
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: just like Wiley coyote on the old cartoons holding up

133
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: a little sign that says oopsy right exactly before a

134
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: rock falls on his header, he plumb us off a

135
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: cliff or something like that.

136
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: And so as as protests go, as the resistance goes,

137
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 4: it was beyond silly, just just terrible.

138
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: Well, you know, and they're refusing to stand for anything

139
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: no matter what it was, here's a kid, that kid

140
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: that didn't die of cancer. We're not going to stand

141
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: for that, which Trump indicted with great skill. And again,

142
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: the significance of the speech very little. The snapshot of

143
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: where we are politically though, where they are stone faced

144
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: over curing cancer. And he says, you know, you people

145
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: won't clap over anything good that happens.

146
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: You're just you're completely phony.

147
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: That's a trumpion calling them out for exactly what's going on.

148
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I took in Mark Halprin's video cast that he

149
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: did after the speech last night, and he has his

150
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: panel of Democrats and Republicans, and the mainstream Democrats he

151
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: had on his show were horrified that the Democratic Party

152
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: sat for some of that stuff.

153
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: Just horrified. The Democrat pundits were, They're like, this is

154
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: just not a good look. No average American tuning in,

155
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, was happy about that. I mean, if you're

156
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: tuning in, you know that to hate on Trump, you'd

157
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: be fine with it. But if you're just kind of

158
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: an average, middle of the road American you tune in,

159
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: He's like, what is that?

160
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: He can't clap for anything? Right? Right?

161
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm reminded of the clip of the day yesterday, which

162
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: surely you're aware of if you're into politics more than

163
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: you should be, which was a couple of dozen Democrats

164
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: all giving the same sounded like hip and I'm going

165
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: to drop an s bomb and tell you what's really

166
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: going on man about Trump. But they're reading all from

167
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: precisely the same script. And people were mocking that, and

168
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: it's of, you know, it's of a set of a

169
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: piece with what Jack was just describing, and that is

170
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: everything is premeditated.

171
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: Everything is top down.

172
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: And nothing reflects like real people and how they behave.

173
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 2: It's just so nakedly strategic.

174
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: Just it doesn't reflect Americans and how they feel and

175
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: the way they live.

176
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I got one more question about that. But

177
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 3: we should start the show officially first before the guy

178
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: who runs the FCC, one of his five things that

179
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: he has to tell Elani does every week is make

180
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: sure the Armstrong and Getty show starts on time.

181
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: So we need to start.

182
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this It is Wednesday,

183
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: March the fifth, the year twenty twenty five, or Armstronger

184
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: getting we approve of this program.

185
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: Let's begin then officially. According to f CC rules and regulations.

186
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: Here we go, at Mark.

187
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 5: This is my fifth such speech to Congress, And once

188
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 5: again I look at the Democrats in front of me,

189
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 5: and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say

190
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 5: to make them happy, or to make them stand or

191
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 5: a smile or applaud nothing I can do.

192
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: It's very sad, and it just shouldn't be this well.

193
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: Longest one of these anybody has ever given, even longer

194
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: than Bill Clinton's many decades mocked hour and a half

195
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: long address from back in ninety five or two thousand

196
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: or whatever it was. It's interesting that Trump being such

197
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: a this will make good TV sort of guy, understanding

198
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: TV and everything like that, drones on for.

199
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: So long, isn't it doesn't fit together?

200
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Strikes me a guy who's passed the point where anybody

201
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: who can, anybody can tell him anything.

202
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 2: I'm just surprised. It's terrible idea.

203
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm surprised at his own natural instincts as a guy

204
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: who put on TV shows. Isn't, No, we can't. We

205
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: can't talk for ninety minutes. Nobody will stick around.

206
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 2: I don't know.

207
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: Or maybe it's because he understands people aren't gonna watch this.

208
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna get clips and I'm gonna go on and

209
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: on and on. So there are lots of clips floating

210
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: around out there that match up with everybody's.

211
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 2: Needs and they see it. Maybe that's his thinking.

212
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how so he views it as like

213
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: a production session.

214
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: It's seven dimensions chests.

215
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's the way the late night hosts do

216
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: their shows now, like Jimmy Fallon.

217
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: They know not that many people tune in. It's the

218
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: it's the different segments on YouTube that that keep them afloat.

219
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 2: So maybe that's all.

220
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: But it's not four hours long, right, you know, they

221
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: still fashion it like you show. The normal performer of

222
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: any sort can feel when they're losing the room and

223
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: it feels like your life is being sucked from you

224
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: like some alien death ray.

225
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: It's the worst feeling in the world.

226
00:11:58,720 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: Right.

227
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: One question, though, is where do we go in terms

228
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: of divisive norm breaking? So you got the Trump giving

229
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: the most divisive speech ever. Again they've been going that

230
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: direction president after president. He didn't invent this, but and

231
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: then you got the other party not standing up for anything.

232
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: You know, we've been talking about that for decades.

233
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: It's always been kind of funny that whichever party's out

234
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: of power doesn't stand for various policy proposals.

235
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: But now you don't stand for anything. What's the next step?

236
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 2: I mean, how far does this go before we've reached the.

237
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: End of the pendulum swing? Or is there an end

238
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: before we just become a monarchy. Well, when I saw

239
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: the senile old fella shaking his cane, I thought we

240
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: might be heading for a rerun of the Brooks Sumner

241
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: affair back in eighteen fifty six, when pro slavery Democrat

242
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: Preston Brooks attacked Senator Charles Sumner with his cane and

243
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: beat him into unconsciousness.

244
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 2: That can't I think it's got to go that that way.

245
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: It can't happen.

246
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 6: Now.

247
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: You'd have to have someone under seventy five to the beating,

248
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: and everybody's so old, I don't think anybody could hurt

249
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: anybody else. Slow motion beating. You're right, we should take

250
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: a break. They've got Katie's headlines coming up and a

251
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: bunch of other stuff.

252
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: Stay here. We're into day two of the whole tariff thing.

253
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 3: That's the biggest story economically, maybe in the world.

254
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: I canceled my Guacamolean Medello Party just can't afford it.

255
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: I understand it's incredibly disappointing too. We're gonna eat, quawk

256
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: and drink.

257
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: Well. I guess that's self evident.

258
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: Let's figure out who's reporting what it's lead story with

259
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: the doge hat wearing Katie Green, Katie, you have a

260
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: hat that says don't I do?

261
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: Where'd you get bed?

262
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 6: It's from a website called Next Level Goods. It's got

263
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 6: a bunch of Trump and America stuff on it.

264
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: Cool.

265
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: Thank you, little Maggan nut you.

266
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 6: I am proud of it. NBC quote, we are just

267
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 6: getting started.

268
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: Trump touts his agenda to reshape America.

269
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: As the Wall Street Yes, huge speech, Thank you from

270
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal.

271
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 6: Trump's Canada Mexico tariffs take effect.

272
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Wall Street Journal with another editorial board, Are you

273
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 3: really going to do this?

274
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: What the hell editorial today?

275
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: As a student of economics since I was a wee lad,

276
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see how this plays out and

277
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: to what extent the fears of price bumps manifest themselves,

278
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: and you know, on a more political level, whether Trump's

279
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: going to hang in there on this and for how long.

280
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: But it's a complicated topic. Topic, no doubt.

281
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 6: From the New York Times, drones now rule the battlefield

282
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 6: in the Ukraine Russia war.

283
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. I talked about that last week.

284
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: Remember some Special Forces dude saying the introduction of cheap

285
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 3: anybody can get them drones onto the battlefield is the

286
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 3: biggest change since Genghis Khan puts stirrups on a horse

287
00:14:58,880 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 3: in warfare.

288
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: And as I mentioned at the time, I was heartened

289
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: to hear that Pete Hegseath is making startups and and

290
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: innovative companies relationships with the Pentagon a real priority going

291
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: forward and not just relying on the big heavy arms

292
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: guys as usual.

293
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 6: From Reuters, Israeli forces kill West Bank, Hama's commander good

294
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 6: CNN A forty day Target boycott starts today and it

295
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 6: couldn't come for a worse time for the company.

296
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: Is that like woke numb skulls because they ditch Dei? Okay,

297
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: Tar tar J. Yeah, I'm gonna go. I almost never

298
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: go to Target. It's just it's big, and it's crowded,

299
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: and plus my kids are grown, so I just don't

300
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: buy much. But I'm gonna go and I'm gonna find

301
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: stuff to buy. Whatever it takes you. Just you let

302
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: me know how much revenue they're losing, and I will

303
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: match it on the positive side every day. So the

304
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: woke side thinks they're going to attack target. Target's more

305
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: on their side than practically any other major retailer in America.

306
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: Maybe they just think they're more susceptible to their pressure

307
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: because they are woke. Yes, perhaps, and having gained way

308
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: more than is good and decent toward their progressive neo

309
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: Marxist goals, they're lows to give back any ground. Bring

310
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: it on, says I from.

311
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 6: The New York Post. Nine students found dismembered by side

312
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 6: of Mexico Highway after disappearing on vacation.

313
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: Oh, that's the sort of thing that happens in Mexico.

314
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: They found nine dismembered bodies and a bag of hands

315
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: for these college kids that were on vacation. Eoh, I

316
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: want to talk more about the Mexican government and the

317
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: cartels and their recent to PR campaigns, but we don't

318
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: have the time.

319
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: Boh No, keep moving.

320
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 6: From the Babylon b What was Canadian tariffs expected to

321
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 6: have devastating.

322
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: Impact on curling broom industry?

323
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: Yes, they get me every time Seth Dylan and his crew.

324
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: You guys are great.

325
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 3: We got some more news of the day. Came across

326
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 3: some damned interesting AI stuff yesterday. I definitely want to

327
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 3: get to on the show. Frightens the hell out of

328
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 3: me as a guy who's sending a couple of kids

329
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 3: into the world.

330
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: Someday.

331
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty proames first presidential address to Congress.

332
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: There was quite a night.

333
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: There are about four hundred people in attendance, three hundred

334
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: members of Congress and a hundred where Elon's kids.

335
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: We'll be talking more about the address and have some

336
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: clips for you an hour two so and we just

337
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 3: covered in the first half of this hour, and if

338
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 3: you didn't hear it, you should get the podcast Armstrong and.

339
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 2: Getty on demand. Excellent advice.

340
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: You know, an interesting thing I've learned just in the

341
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: last like two months about myself is I have some

342
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: sort of processing order in my brain that I've never

343
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: known I've had my entire life. That it's because I'm

344
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: about to read from a column by and I can't

345
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: look at it or I will say it wrong Ezracline

346
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: in the New York Times. If I look at the

347
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: word and read it I'll say, Erza, Wow, that's got

348
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: to be something, and I.

349
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 2: Have no idea.

350
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: And now I know why there's so many lames, particularly

351
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: that if I read them, I get them wrong.

352
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: You know, that's funny.

353
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: We've worked together for ages and ages, and yeah, I've

354
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: noticed that many years ago that for some reason, names

355
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: just perplex you completely. Is it because you can't I

356
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: mean you as somebody who reads a ton. I mean obviously,

357
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: if you come across a word that's jumbled from context,

358
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: your brain can sort that out. Again. Maybe if there's

359
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: no context for Ezra no no, I wonder anyway, I

360
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: don't know, but now that I know, and it explains

361
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: a lot of things that I've had trouble with in

362
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: my life. There's all kinds of weird processing disorders you

363
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: can have in your brain. I've learned that with my son.

364
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: That everybody knows about dyslection, but there's all kinds of

365
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: different things a minor or major, and lots of people

366
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 3: have some of them and you might not even know

367
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: you have them.

368
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 2: Really.

369
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was, for instance, comforted somewhat to learn probably

370
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: six months ago that there's like a what do they

371
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: call it, a continuum of a range of abilities to

372
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: recognize faces from the spectacular to the it's actually a

373
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: phasia problem or whatever they call it, and most people

374
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: are in between. And I've always thought, why do I

375
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: not recognize people? Well, I talked to them for like

376
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: two hours three weeks ago, and now I'm like, I've

377
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: met that person somewhere, but I have no context. And

378
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: that's just I'm not good at that, apparently.

379
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 6: So.

380
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 1: Ezra Kleine has an article opinion piece in The New

381
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: York Times about AI that I started reading last night

382
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: and found very fascinating. The headline out of it. Nate

383
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: Silver tweeted this out. Actually, really the headline out of

384
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: it is the lack of attention to AI. Progress will

385
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 1: look foolish in the future in that this is going

386
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: to be so big and hit us all so fast

387
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: and change so many things. The fact that we're not all,

388
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: like really talking about it all the time is really

389
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: quite amazing. But on the other hand, they kind of

390
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: make the point as I'm about to read, that nobody

391
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: exactly knows how you would prepare for it anyway.

392
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what to say. If you've been

393
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 2: telling yourself this isn't coming.

394
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 3: I really think you need to question that, he writes,

395
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 3: and this is after talking to a number of AI experts,

396
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 3: including Biden's AI expert, who's currently working somewhat with Trump's

397
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 3: AI expert, to try to get us all prepared for

398
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 3: that and try to stay ahead of China, which we're

399
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: about to get to.

400
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: I think we're on the.

401
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: Cusp of an era in human history that is unlike

402
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: any of the eras we have ever experienced before, and

403
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: we're not prepared, in part because it's not clear what

404
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 1: it would mean to prepare. We don't know what this

405
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: will look like, what it will feel like. We don't

406
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: know how labor markets will respond. We don't know which

407
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: country is going to get there first. We don't know

408
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: what it'll mean for war. We don't know what it'll

409
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: mean for peace. Well, okay, And while there's so much

410
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: else going on in the world to cover, there's a

411
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: good chance when we look back on this era, we'll

412
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: realize that this was the only thing that mattered. He

413
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: uses the example Klein does in The New York Times.

414
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: I work with producers on the show. I hire incredibly

415
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: talented people to do very demanding research work to help

416
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: me prepare for books and columns.

417
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: I asked AI one of the ais, I don't know

418
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 2: which one he was using to.

419
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: Do a report on the tensions between the Madisonian constitutional

420
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: system and the highly polarized nationalized parties we have now,

421
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: and what it produced in a matter of minutes I

422
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: would say was at least the media of what any

423
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: of the teams I've ever hired could have produced within days.

424
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: Wow. That's a pretty complex topic.

425
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: Wow, to spit out in minutes and do as good

426
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: a job as the you know, I'm sure highly educated,

427
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: as he says, very talented people that he hires to

428
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: do that sort of thing. Yeah, complex and at least

429
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: medium on the scale of.

430
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 2: Subtlety.

431
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like asking what vitamins are there

432
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: in Pineapple, where that's a very straightforward query, and you

433
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: would find many references to that that would be unmistakable,

434
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 1: unmistakably references to that. But you yeah, there's much more

435
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: subtlety in the question he asked. That's weirdly chilling. He

436
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: goes on, I've talked to a number of people at

437
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: firms that do high amounts of coding, and they tell

438
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: me by the end of this year, certainly by the

439
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: end of next year, they expect most code will not

440
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: be written by human beings. I do not see how

441
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: this cannot have a major impact on the labor market.

442
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: I would say, since for the past ten years, at

443
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: least the you know teacher, have your kids.

444
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: Learned the code? Learn to code, you know, and not

445
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: a coal miner anymore.

446
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 3: Go to college, learn to code, and that's going to

447
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 3: be a worthless skill by the end of the year,

448
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 3: certainly by the end of next year, because it'll all

449
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 3: be done by AI.

450
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's troubling.

451
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: And also, this AI researcher made this point which I

452
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: thought was really good.

453
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: He referenced John F.

454
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: Kennedy's famous speech in nineteen sixty two, his Moon Speech,

455
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: And everybody remembers the part where he talked about we're.

456
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 2: Going to go to the Moon by the end of

457
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: the decade.

458
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: Not because it's not because it's easy, but because it's hard.

459
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: And everybody remembers that part of the speech, but people

460
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: don't remember the ending of the speech where this guy writes,

461
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: I think he gives the better line for space science,

462
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: nuclear science, and all technology that has no conscience of

463
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: its own, whether it will become a force for good

464
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: or ill. This is Kennedy writing about space, but it's

465
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: true about AI. Whether it become a force for good

466
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: or ill depends on man. And only if the United

467
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: States occupies a position of pre eminence can we help

468
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of

469
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: peace or a new and terrifying fear of war. We

470
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: need to make sure we're the ones that get their first. So, yeah,

471
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that was in the Moon speech,

472
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: even though I knew what drove the space program was,

473
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, trying to stay ahead of the Soviets. And

474
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: that guy gets to the point that US beating the

475
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: Chinese is of the utmost importance.

476
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 3: He gets into the idea of cyber warfare. Whoever gets

477
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 3: to what they call general artificial intelligence AGI artificial general intelligence,

478
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: whoever gets there first is going to have such a

479
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 3: dominant role on the planet on hacking or stopping hacking.

480
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 3: And if for instance, China gets there first, they can

481
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 3: hack into everything we have and we probably won't be

482
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 3: able to stop it, like everything, and that could I

483
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: mean imagine, just try to imagine how disruptive.

484
00:24:59,440 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 2: That would be.

485
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: You can't, no, you no, you absolutely the greatest cyber

486
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: experts on Earth could probably give you a lovely speech

487
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: about it, but no, the average person can't even and

488
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: he extrapolates it from not only the ability to hack in,

489
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: but the fact that you don't need one thousand Chinese

490
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: experts in a room doing the hacking.

491
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 2: The AI will figure that out and get.

492
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: Into every tire shop or school or hospital or or

493
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, radio show, website or whatever it wants to

494
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: get into.

495
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: In the blink of an eye.

496
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: In a blink of an eye, don't mess with our

497
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: hot links, China, I'm coming in. You know. It strikes

498
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: me first of all that part of the Kennedy speech

499
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: you featured is really terrific and underappreciated. But it strikes me,

500
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: given the current state of things with China and other

501
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: countries sending probes to the Moon, that that it was

502
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: far from settled. We got there first, but we haven't

503
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: really defended it. Remember I have been in favor of

504
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: serious Moon defense, blowing anybody else's astronauts out the sky.

505
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 2: It's our moon.

506
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: Secondly, the other thing that with the obvious parallel is

507
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: that if the AI dominance a g I were first in,

508
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: but that's going to be a never ending battlefield.

509
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: Right.

510
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 3: For some reason, the couple expertise interviewed seem to think

511
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: that getting there first keeps you ahead.

512
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: Permanent. I'd rather try that than the other one.

513
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: In the catch up, Yeah, the main thrust of the

514
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 3: article at the beginning was this guy who was advising

515
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 3: the Biden White House and is working with Trump's AI

516
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 3: person also thinks this whole artificial general intelligence thing.

517
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: Is way overblown.

518
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 3: We don't need to get there to completely disrupt everything.

519
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 3: AI will get there someday where it is as smart

520
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 3: as an human being on earth and can learn on

521
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: its own, but it doesn't need to get all the

522
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 3: way there to be incredibly disruptive to the labor market

523
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 3: or hacking or everything like that.

524
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: And he says, we're going to be there in a

525
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: couple of years.

526
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: We're going to be at the part that can disrupt

527
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: everything everybody's talking about. We won't get to know artificial

528
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: general intelligence for ten years, fifteen years, a dozen year,

529
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: twenty years, whatever.

530
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: We don't need to get there. It can disrupt the

531
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 2: entire world by getting eighty.

532
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: Ninety percent of the way there, which we're going to

533
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: get in the next couple of years. As a guy

534
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: toward the end of a mediocre career, I am not

535
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: as personally invested in fear of the upset of the

536
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: labor market, even though I fear for my children. But

537
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: something just occurred to me that made me sick to

538
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: my stomach. And that is number one target of any

539
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: cyber attack would be the banking systems. And I don't

540
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: know about y'all. My accumulated wealth, such as it is,

541
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: is not in gold bars nor cash buried in my backyard.

542
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 3: Well, mine's all in NFTs, which I hope will hold

543
00:27:59,160 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: their value.

544
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,200

545
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,919

546
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: found very very interesting. Oh my gosh, it just knocked

547
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: something over in the studio.

548
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: Is anybody hurt? What did your coffee fall over?

549
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: Everybody's fine. That's this big board thing I've got over here. Anyway,

00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: Yup, and I'll tell you what.

560
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: They have specials every week like Taco Tuesday, where they

561
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: discount select player projections up to twenty five percent to

562

Speaker 1: The coat is Armstrong, Prize Picks run your game. The

570
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: good news out of that AI article, I guess is

571
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 1: since it's so unpredictable, there's nothing you can do to prepare.

572
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 2: So what is the point of that.

573
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: Just be afraid, be very afraid, or just well right,

574
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: or just realize whatever you've got planned for you or

575
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: your kids, it probably ain't gonna happen that way.

576
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the oof.

577
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, be like just a couple of quick notes and

578
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: then we'll go to break because we have mail bag

579
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: a couple of other things coming up. But the Wall

580
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: Street Journal featured this dude who left open AI last

581
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: year and said, I'm going to start my own company.

582
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: His company is already worth thirty billion dollars.

583
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: Because he's one of the leaders.

584
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: And that is where the smart money quote unquote in

585
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley, your capitalists that thinks it is best to

586
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: go again one year. Less than one year later, it's

587
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: worth thirty billion dollars. Second Story Bank loans two billion

588
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: dollars to build a one hundred acre AI data center

589
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,719
Speaker 1: in Utah. It is one of the biggest construction loans

590
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: in human history, and it is for a data center.

591
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: It highlights the booming demand for artificial intelligence.

592
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: Wow, and everybody, including me, understand so little about in

593
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 3: what way it's actually going to unfold in our lives.

594
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: And there are a couple of voices saying this reminds

595
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: me of the dot com bubble. I don't know, Yeah, truly,

596
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. So we'll just bring you the information

597
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: as we come across it.

598
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: Whatever.

599
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: The only thing I think every time I read about

600
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: is the thing? Is there any way we cannot? Is

601
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: there any way we cannot? Can we just at an

602
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: opt out button?

603
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? Just can? Can anybody decide let's just not go

604
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: down this road.

605
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: We don't need to get the mail bag next our

606
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.

607
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: If there was any news out last night's speech, it

608
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: was him reading Zelenski's latest letter.

609
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: So I guess we can talk about that now or

610
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: two maybe. Yeah.

611
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: And as I said earlier in the hour, perhaps you

612
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: missed it. It was entertaining his Heck, I want to

613
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: talk more about that in play some clips next hour.

614
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day.

615
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: Man, I'm enjoying the series from Teddy Roosevelt. Is he's

616
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 1: a quote machine like the late great Abraham Lincoln.

617
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: Because Trump wants to put it. Today's quote, to educate.

618
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: A man in mind and not morals is to educate

619
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: a menace to society.

620
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: Wow. That's pretty good.

621
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: That is pretty good.

622
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: We do none of that most in more the opposite.

623
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're right, educate him in perverse philosophy. Sick

624
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 1: mail bag, drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong

625
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: and getty dot Com fellas as someone who's initially not

626
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: a Trump guy, sat back and applauded his persuasion skill

627
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: set during the speech last night.

628
00:31:59,080 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: The speech was.

629
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: Short on the roadmap forward, long on curb stomping the

630
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: Dems stomping an unfortunate term. Some underestimate how important it

631
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: is to keep them on the ground. They were left

632
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: with shaking canes like old man yells at cloud style

633
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: true truly lame, high school level protest signs, dressing in

634
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: colors and steeped in their sour disposition to the point

635
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: that they couldn't show any heart for the victims of

636
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: violence and a.

637
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 2: Thirteen year old cancer survivor.

638
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: To emphasize the emphasize the absurdity the fake Indian folk.

639
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: Honess laughed at Hitler's joke, how can you be the

640
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: hit the h Man and Buddy Hackett at the same time.

641
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: I wasn't planning to watch, but OMG, Trump owns them.

642
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: That's Joe and Weymouth's mass JT and Livermore to the

643
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: other end of the country on the topic of friends

644
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: versus allies. To put it bluntly, this is on the

645
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: topic of Tariff's Trump is sick and tired of America

646
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: giving so many friends discounts to our allies.

647
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: That's a great way to put it, JT.

648
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: This is consistent with his first term, in which you

649
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: have bad mouthed NAFTA during his campaign negotiating to Madi,

650
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, a modified version before ending his first term.

651
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: It isn't just trade.

652
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: Trump is also tired of the US footing a disproportionates

653
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: sheriff costs for NATO, wto the WHO and the UN,

654
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: to say nothing of being the world's policeman, particularly on

655
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: the open seas. Yeah, there's more, and it's very good,

656
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: but I think we'll leave it there. For the longest time,

657
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: the US led World Order included, hey, we will give

658
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: you a friend's discount for you know, cooperating and because

659
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: we're way richer and mightier than you are, and that'll

660
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: lift you up and blah blah blah. And Trump's point

661
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: of view is that era needs to end. You know,

662
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: you might debate it, but it's not crazy. Moving along,

663
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: Tariffs go both ways. Nate points out, now we're in

664
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: the tariff discussion. From y'all, did I hear anything about

665
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: tariffs on goods from the USA, the countries like Canada

666
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: and Mexico have. Canada has insane tariffs on US items

667
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: for decades.

668
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: That's what needs to go away. Level the playing field

669
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 2: on tariffs.

670
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: That's the next step of reciprocal tariffs that Trump's talking about.

671
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: Nothing more interesting than tariff. You know I'm gonna do

672
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: this one.

673
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: This is going to effect every one of our lives.

674
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: Got a great note on the gender versus sex thing

675
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: coming up, But Charlotte sent along part of a homily

676
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: that's like a sermon for Catholics. It's ash Wednesday during Lent,

677
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: and his homily was about silence, and she included some

678
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: of the quotes which I am going to read you now.

679
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 2: I mean, just pause in this one for a second.

680
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: How can I ever know what I think if I'm

681
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: always putting someone else's thoughts in my mind? If I

682
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: always have to listen to a podcast, well, just listen

683
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: to ours, and you know call it good. Always have

684
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: to listen to someone else's song, someone else's music, someone

685
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: else's thoughts.

686
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 2: How can I ever know what I think if.

687
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: I'm constantly listening to someone else's thoughts. If I can't

688
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: be alone with my own thoughts, then how will I

689
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: ever know what I actually think? Again, the furnace reveals,

690
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: and the furnace trains. That's the reference to something earlier.

691
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: The tribulation reveals, and the tribulation trains. The speech reveals,

692
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: but the silence reveals too, and the silence trains.

693
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 2: So here's the invitation.

694
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: Saint jose Maria s Crevai in the book the way

695
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: he said it like that, he said, quote silence is

696
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: the doorkeeper of the interior life, which means I have

697
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: to actually walk through this doorway if I'm ever going

698
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: to know, if I'm ever going to become the person

699
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: I am. I wonder if that's why meditation is so

700
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: important to me. H makes sense because I've thought, how

701
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: did I live my whole life without it? Because now

702
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: if I skip it, it's just I can absolutely tell, Well,

703
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: I didn't used to occupy my brain with a podcast

704
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: or a screen every moment of the day, So maybe

705
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,959
Speaker 1: I didn't need it as bad. Now I at least

706
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: get that twenty minutes where I'm in silence. Yeah, I

707
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: believe in being quote unquote bored for a chunk of

708
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: every day. I think it's really important. Again, if you

709
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: were enjoying a three screen experience and didn't quite catch it.

710
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 2: Blah blah, blah blah blah. Here's your takeaway.

711
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 3: Silence is the doorkeeper of the interior life. Yeah, you

712
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 3: had your TV on, why you were listening to us

713
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 3: and you were checking your phone exactly so you might

714
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 3: have missed that.

715
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: Highlights from the speech last night? Ooh significant? Maybe entertaining? Definitely?

716
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: Can you believe a bear got in? How did they

717
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: let that happen?

718
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: It's amazing Armstrong and Getty
