WEBVTT - Practical Things 0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:06.640 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:11.240 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Gatty arm Strong 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:18.079 and Katty and he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:25.760 Well some business news. 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:30.400 Yesterday was Tim Cook's final product announcement as Apple CEO. Yeah, 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:32.960 and his big reveal was an AI powered serie. 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:34.680 I'm not sure it's such a great idea. Take a 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:36.320 look at this, Hey. 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:37.720 Siri, text Lisa. 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.920 That's a great idea, Dan, Texting your girlfriend Lisa is 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:43.800 not just a smart way to get in touch with her, 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:45.919 it's also a brilliant way to reach her. 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.440 If you want, I can draft a message for you now. 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.000 Oh no, I don't need the whole AI spiel. 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:51.919 Just please just. 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.920 Text her totally. Hear you, Dan, you want to send 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:55.720 a text to Lisa. 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.040 It sounds like you're dialed in on the problem and 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.640 you're ready to execute. I'm ready to dive in on 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:02.400 the Lisa text whenever you're ready. 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.800 Yes, Yes, just dive in. 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.120 Sounds good. Say the word and I'll get to work. 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.000 Text text Lisa. 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.120 Text mexs Lisa is a Mexican restaurant in your area. 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:15.440 Would you like directions too? 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:15.760 Oh? 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:17.319 Oh, my god, just do it. 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:21.560 Just send the text to Lisa, let me know, forget it. 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:23.480 I don't need you undone. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.039 Texting Lisa, I don't need you. 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:26.920 Siri. 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:31.520 Yep, it worse. Oh what a great pun. Oh I 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:37.560 like the tag Siri. Yep, we made it worse. That 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:39.560 is true, though, that's the thing. I hate him out it. 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.080 Just quit with the fawning this and that. Just give 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.839 me the answer, or do what I ask you to do. Yeah, 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.200 it's the summer saying the new series underwhelming and apple 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:49.960 Stock dropped. I haven't tried it. I don't know. No, 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:51.960 I don't know either. Don't tend to trust those things. 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.360 Speaking of AI, at some point I had to pay 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:59.160 off my medical breakthrough thanks to a chatbot. Not that 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.240 you want to hear about my minor medical problems, but 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.720 it really is interesting. And yes, doctors who are listening, 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:09.880 I realize you can misdiagnose using chat pots, but I 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.080 thought this was super interesting. The Wall Street Journal got 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:17.280 together sixteen well known, respected economists to ask them how 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.760 AI will change the job market and how humans ought 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:25.040 to prepare and you know, the introduction? Do I even 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.320 need the introduction? It's one of the most pressing questions 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:31.119 facing the US economy today, Companies pouring unthinkable amounts some money, 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.800 and data centers ruling out AI tools, rethinking what workers 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.320 they need. Americans are anxious and excited about the developments. 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.320 Blah blah blah. So they asked a bunch of questions 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:48.680 to these folks, what AI. That's a poor start, the 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:53.760 first damn word? I mean, is there any point in continuing? 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.239 Let's go with will will AI lead to net job 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.840 losses or job growth across the economy? Job losses or 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:07.200 job growth? Eight response or obviously, no change was one 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.959 of the options. No change set eight of them out 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:15.320 of how many again sixteen sixteen? So half said no change. 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.600 That seems like a cop out answer. Well, I think 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.320 when you dig into the answers, it'll grow over here 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.160 and shrink over there, but not a significant change. But 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:28.000 I agree with you. I'm like, no change. What net 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.440 loss to net growth is five to two? So the 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.760 biggest thing that's ever happened happens and there's no change. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.080 If I had that hard to believe, yeah, yeah, But 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.000 those who were willing to hazard a guess it was 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.720 five to two loss over again. What does history suggest 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.000 will happen to workers displaced by a I, and you 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.880 had a nice variety of well they'll learn similar jobs, 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.840 or there'll actually be more productive and blah blah blah, 0:03:55.840 --> 0:04:00.000 they'll switch. But I liked this one from Rebecca Henderson 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.760 and who's a professor at Harvard Business School. I read 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.960 the history of suggesting that if this is as much 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.560 of a disruption as I expect, the workers end up 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.280 getting very, very angry and changing the politics. Of course, 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.240 I have no idea. I don't think we've ever really 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.800 seen anything moving with this scale and speed before. It's 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:21.840 going to be a wild ride. Yes, indeed, the scale end, 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.719 the speed is it's one hundred times faster than the 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:32.680 Industrial Revolution anyway, so nobody's really sure. It'll vary on 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:37.599 who you are. Will AI meaningfully bolster labor productivity? Fifteen 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.640 to zero? Yes, number sixteen apparently couldn't be bothered to 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:48.120 answer because reasonable question. But man, when the super rich 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.440 start talking about it, it will have more productivity. Okay, that's 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.279 not really The question I'm answering for my kids is 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.200 whether the country is going to be we're all ready 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.600 to the number one economic engine in the world, will 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.920 be more productive fantastic. How about will there be any 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.280 jobs for anybody? That's the question? And how will the 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.840 wealth be concentrated? Yeah, which is you know sometime we've 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.640 talked about at fair length, is AI already impacting the 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.839 labor market? And how about in five years? Really interesting 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.919 answer is too long to get into fully, But like 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.480 this fellow who's a University of Toronto School of Management professor, 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.200 we are currently in the between times. We see the 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.360 potential of AI, but our organizational systems haven't fully adjusted. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.280 Over the next five to ten years, at least one 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.720 leading company in each market will likely figure out how 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.039 to transition to a system solution that is much more productive. 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.000 For example, instead of an insurer simply paying out after 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.520 an accident to the extent that they do pastards, they 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.560 may shift their value proposition from repair and replace to 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.279 predict and prevent. The labor impact will shift from doing 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:53.120 things faster to doing different things, requiring a significant reorganization 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.200 of human roles. I think that's a good and a 0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:02.400 smart answer. A significant reorganization of human roles. Yyp yipes 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.800 is right and in the blank of an eye. Yeah, 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:06.680 Jason Furman, who you may know, he was on the 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.400 White House Council of Economic Advisors, I think in the 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.839 Obama years says we're currently seeing little or no impact 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.799 of AI on the labor market. You can't say no impact. 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:22.440 That's not true. But so far it's not much. Let's 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.160 get to these These guys are all smarter and women. 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.960 I assume there's women economists. They're all smarter than me. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:33.400 But to say no impact so far, so YadA, YadA, YadA. 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.920 Come on, it is absolutely worth every time you quote 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.400 a professor of any sort. It's worth mentioning the Ivory 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:45.839 Tower filter. How they think they perceive the real world 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:50.640 based on their studies and their surveys and their mathematicians skills. 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.520 But they don't live with us. I was going to 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.640 say at the beginning, but I want to take the 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.560 fun out of this is economists are often wrong. And 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:06.600 this is the most uh you have to guess sort 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.680 of story I can ever remember in talking about the economy. 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.800 The economy. This isn't oil or wheat or something where 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.400 we have decades of an idea of this or that, 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.880 we have no idea when or what none. So I 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.080 mean they are really really guessing and then for some 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.640 for purpose that we haven't seen much changer. Okay, well, 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:29.560 you know, maybe that's true, but so so so what 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.320 did you see any of those graduation speeches where anybody 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.520 mentioned AI and everyone boo. Yeah, so it's had some 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.680 effect on people, and not only as we've discussed. Are 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.560 we going to have to deal with the dizzying pace 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.000 of it? But nobody knows what it is? Yeah, exactly, 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.000 we don't. You mentioned developments and agriculture or the use 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.480 of internal combustion engines or stuff like that. You could 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.240 extrapolate their adoption across an industry pretty easily. This is 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:59.200 you don't even know what Frankenstein's monster looks like. Anyway, 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.760 I like this though. What kind of workers are most well, 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.160 I liked it and I hated it? What kind of 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.560 workers are most likely to benefit from or be hurt 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.160 by the spread of AI? And this one guy from 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.600 the University of Michigan says, I think of AI as 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.520 doing cognitive work. So this is a revolution coming squarely 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.240 at white collar workers. I now know what blue collar 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:23.440 workers felt like in the nineteen seventies. Wow, And several 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:27.280 of them hit things you've heard before. Routine information processing 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.720 rules like adjusting insurance claims, translating documents, writing standard ad 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:36.800 copy face genuine displacement risk. Let's see a couple more. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:41.920 Will AI widen or narrow income inequality between highly educated 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:47.920 and less educated workers? Widen one? Seven to five? Really 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:55.320 no change? Were two but only seven to five? I 0:08:55.360 --> 0:09:01.160 think I am on the widen side. Well, if it's 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.160 going to hit college graduates, white collar workers more and 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.320 they don't have jobs, why aren't why aren't their salaries 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:13.040 going to come back down closer to blue collar workers? Yeah, 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.199 because that's going to be the only kind of workers 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.839 there are except for the connected and involved in any 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.800 and Yeah, I don't know a quick order from our 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.920 friends that incognate. Speaking of things on the web and 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.640 computers and the rest of it, your personal information is valuable, 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.160 far more accessible than you might hope and realize. Every 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.400 time you shop online, your data is collected package sold 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:35.760 the data brokers. That's why you ought to use incognity. Yeah, 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.800 they work in the background to wipe your personal data 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.200 from people's search sites. Those people search sites. Wow, have 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.520 you ever used one of those data brokers and hidden 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.640 databases that you probably don't even know exist. They're removing 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.000 your name and info our names and info from hundreds 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.320 of databases, and they use the law because there's plenty 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.400 of laws on their side, and they keep sending follow 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.920 up requests so your data stays removed, protecting you from spam, scam, 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.880 and real digital threats. Remember, they can't scame you if 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:04.840 they can't find you. Take your personal data back within 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.200 cogni I ncog and I is how it's spelled. Gets 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.120 sixty percent off the regular price when you use the 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.080 code armstrong at incognity dot com slash armstrong. It's sixty 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.600 percent off when you use the code armstrong at incognit 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.880 dot com slash armstrong. That's in cognity dot com slash armstrong. 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:23.040 I love AI discussions like this, but I do know 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.120 for a fact because I've read it, I've listened to 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.680 the podcast. The smartest people in the world on AI 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.959 are often one hundred and eighty degrees apart on this 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:38.560 will doom the world, end humanity versus it is never 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:43.000 actually even gonna happen, and everything in between. So that's 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.880 quite a wide range. It will end humankind or it's 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:51.160 never gonna get going with AGI, that'll never happen, and 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.040 so at the risk of making you angry at me, 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.040 all of you. One of the reasons I've brought this 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.320 story to you is precisely what Jack just said. They 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:04.160 get to you. Remember our white collar job discussion of 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.920 roughly two and a half minutes ago. Here's the question, 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:11.120 will AI adoptions significantly reduce or expand demand for white 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:20.520 collar jobs? Reduce five? No change six expand three? No consensus, 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:25.440 nothing even approaching a consensus, leaning slightly toward reduce. And 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.440 they're guessing on their answers. Yeah, I mean everybody you 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.240 say guess when you're an economist, but I mean really guessing. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:36.160 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. How should people repair I'm not repair, prepair? 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.560 How should people prepare own stock in an AI company? Kidding, 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:47.199 says the Michigan guy. Canned goods weapons? Yeah, yeah, I 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:51.120 read absolutely no consensus on that. Either choose a field 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.160 you have genuine passion for and get ready for change. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.000 So SpaceX is about to go IPO, and so is 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:03.320 Chat and didn't Entropy announce it too, so open AIA. 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.120 I was reading some of the stuff that Elon's planning 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.000 to do with SpaceX, and I thought, God, I got 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.640 to invest in that. You know, I know lots and 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.960 lots and lots of people are thinking that. But man 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:18.280 his his plan to like very very soon put these 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:24.200 AI data centers in space that will be multiples more 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.680 powerful than anything on earth. For all kinds of reasons. 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.040 We can explain it. It just well, it's it is some 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.960 forward thinking man boy, and I wish I'd signed on 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.040 a SpaceX in the early days and not this dead 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:36.960 end job. Everybody who works there is going to become 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.000 super rich, and it's always been around for what a 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.480 dozen years. I saw the picture the other day of 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.240 him and like the ten people that started it in 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:49.960 twenty twelve, that's how old that company is. Ten people 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.720 in him standing in the hallway officially starting SpaceX today. 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.800 We got to build some rockets and it might make 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.560 him a trillionaire by next year. Talking to Steve Heilton 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.080 at the bottom of this hour, we got a lot 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:11.920 of other stuff coming up. To stay here. California election's 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.480 got a lot of national attention. I suppose that will 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.600 be true leading up to UH electing a new governor, 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.760 whether it's Steve Hilton or Hoavier. But Sarah, but we 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.880 have Steve Hilton on in about ten minutes or so. 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.720 To stay here and there can't be enough derision port 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:29.319 on California's ridiculous prone to fraud, and it's certainly the 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:34.240 perception of fraud voting systems. So I mentioned this briefly 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.280 with the following disclaimer blah blah blah. Consult your doctors 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.520 that a zoo. It may be wrong. Who cares. I've 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:49.800 got this physical problem right now. Whenever I undress, women 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.680 can't stay away from me. No, you can tell us 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.120 what it is or is Yeah, no, I will raid 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.760 you precisely what I told Claude. I have what I 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.640 would describe as a sore throat, but it's not a 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.200 typical sore throat. The pain is tenderness right above my 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.360 atoms apple. It's sensitive to pressure from the outside. My 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.440 throat is not inflamed. I get this semi regularly, have 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.920 for at least fifteen years, any ideas fifteen years, oh 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.240 at least. And you've seen doctors about this. I have, 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.440 and they have said, Wow, that's weird. Here's some antibiotics. 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.560 And it probably comes up that you talk four hours 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.200 for a living and stuff like that. It could I 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.600 have mentioned that, but they look at my vocal cords 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:29.560 and say, A little inflamed but not manchious biotic anyway, 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.840 get out of here. Hit the breaks. They got a 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:34.880 guy with a wet cough in the waiting room. We 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.920 got to get him out of there. He's sickening everybody. 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.240 But what you're describing, it answers is pretty distinctive and 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:46.120 describes what I described points toward a few more specific possibilities. 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:50.000 The most likely candidates are hyoid bone syndrome. The hyoid 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.760 is a small horseshoe shaped bone sitting right above the larynx. 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.520 It can develop procidis, or irritation of the surrounding tendons 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:00.120 and ligaments, causing exactly the kind of external point tenderness 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.120 you describe. It's often triggered by talking a lot, and 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.440 worth knowing because of my hobbies. When I'm not talking, 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:13.200 I'm singing, swallowing repeatedly, or next strain than thyro hyoid 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:18.240 muscle ligament strain, And that's almost certainly it. And it 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:23.240 says you really need to go to an E and 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:29.920 T that specializes in a laryngologist rather than general eant 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:36.040 who specializes in voice. They work with professional voice users routinely, 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.440 so after all these years and it look I'm not 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:44.680 a whiner. It hurts a lot, like it dominates my day. 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.400 It's hard to focus on every throat yeah wow, but 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:52.480 like externally, it's like I got punched in the throat, 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:58.600 which you're frequently threatening for various offenses for fifteen years. Yeah, 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.720 and I just after a while, I just thought, well, 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.680 nobody can do anything about it, so I'll just take 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.800 some tail and all and deal with it. It's really 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.360 bad this time. So anyway, again, you know, utilize some caution, 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.680 but if you can be very specific about your weird, 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:19.360 mysterious medical issue, these things are amazing and that the 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.160 claud is not under pressure to see twenty four patients, 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.280 you know after lunchtime, and you know, has the limitations 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.000 of human beings and the ability to do research. I 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.360 mean it did all the research of the medical world 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.480 has the capacity to do right in the space of 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:36.320 two and a half seconds. 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:36.600 Right. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.160 It didn't examine me. I understand that. I'm not a fool. 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.880 But it nailed it. I'm sure it nailed it. Yeah, 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.680 that's interesting. Specialists are a thing too. I learned that 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:50.080 with my cancer thing back in the day. Specialists can 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.520 you know, you see your doctor and that's a tough job, 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.480 that general practitioner, because you just got the whole body 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.840 and everything and all these different ages, different problems, different 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:03.000 all this sort of stuff. Spousialists obviously specialize in one tiny, 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.080 little specific thing. But first time I get to a specialist, 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.879 he's like, you don't have that at all, and within 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:13.399 five minutes told me, oh, oh sorry, I'm not supposed to. 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.720 He probably was a life saving decision, that seeing that specialist. 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.640 But yeah, they are good. Not easy to see though. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:22.480 That's the other thing that Claude doesn't have is a 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.719 whole insurance Who's paying for this? So we're not gonna, 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.000 you know, send you to the specialist because it costs 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.840 too much money. Thing going right, So I'm probably gonna 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.120 see somebody in nine months at the Mayo Clinic, which 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.119 is many miles away. But it's it's better than nothing. 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.960 Uh yeah, what was I gonna say? I had something else? 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:45.840 It probably doesn't matter, so oh oh, now I remember 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.080 what I was gonna say. You're absolutely right about general practitioners, 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.359 and I admire them so much. This our job, and 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:53.880 I appreciate the good ones. That's why I've always thought 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.000 veterinarians are amazing. Yeah, no, because they've got all that 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:00.200 in a bunch of different species that can't talk. He 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.640 can't ask it what brings in here today? You can't 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.639 send stuff the tail and give it the old how's 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:06.760 your uncle? You can't say to a horse, what brings 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.600 you in here today? Will my hoof is kind of soar? 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.159 Steve Hilton? Is he going to be the next governor? 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:19.560 The question is are Californians disgusted enough to try something different? 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:21.600 They tried it with Arnold, will they try it with Steve? 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.560 We're going to talk to him. Coming up next Armstrong 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.560 and Geeddy. 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:30.240 It's the same system that can't count votes, that can't 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.400 build a train after ten years, and billions of dollars, 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.440 that can't clear the homeless after twenty four billions of 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.800 dollars spent, that can't get anything right. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.240 God, that message should resonate that Steve Hilton, who The 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.600 California Post is very happy to see in the final 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:51.240 two for governor of California. Their editorial board backing Steve Hilton, 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.440 saying congratulations to the dynamic Steve Hilton for advancing to 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.920 the general election in November. The Hilton Besarah matchup gives 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.679 California voters the contest. They deserve a choice between change 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.240 and the status quo. Now, Xavier Bsara is going to 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:10.320 mention that his highest qualification was being the Secretary of 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.480 the HHS under Biden, and he was so well respected. 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:14.919 Joe Biden said. 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:20.280 This, Javier Bakaria, that's how highly he ranked in Joe 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:21.040 Biden's mind. 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:25.480 The mainstream media usually introduces our guest as former Fox 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:29.560 News host. I would prefer to announce him as aid 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:33.000 to David Cameron, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, a businessman, 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.320 a restaurant tour and a proud immigrant to the United 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:38.760 States of America who happened to have a great show 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.280 on Fox News for a little while. Steve Hilton, Steve, 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.600 how are you feeling great? 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:44.600 Good to be with you? Thank you. 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:45.359 I like that intro. 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.040 I'll take it. Thank you. Guys, you think he deal it? 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:48.480 Use it? 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.399 You think he can beat Javier Bakara, as Joe Biden called. 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.800 Him, I think I can beat the guy that I mean. 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.280 We don't really have the time to list all the 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.320 insults that were leveled at him during his time there 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:08.199 by his colleagues in the Biden administration. Well, you know, 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:12.400 they thought that these are actual quotes. He's an quote idiot, 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:16.760 He's a quote joke. It's like, oh, and on, this 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:20.960 is the guy who was rejected by the Biden cabinet 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:22.400 for being too incompetent. 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.120 I mean, what does that tell you. 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.919 I mean, you've got to work very hard to be 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.600 considered useless by that crew, and yet here we are. 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.320 This is the guy that the Democrat machine has finally 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.720 glimbed onto to give us another four years of their 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.720 disastrous rule that has given us the highest cost of 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:40.960 living in the country, the highest unemployment rate, the highest 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.600 poverty rate. Oh great, more of the same, please, we 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.720 love it. Let's keep going in that direction. No, thank you. 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:51.480 It's really amazing that the way that they assumed that 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.040 now that we're in this, you know, we got clarity 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:54.600 about the race. 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:56.080 It's me versus Versarah. 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.880 There's just this complete assumption that, well, that means he's 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.320 the governor, because of course that that's what happens in California. 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:04.800 I don't think they understand who they're dealing with here 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.040 and what they're going to get from me and my campaign, 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:11.720 not just in holding them accountable for their utter failure 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:15.520 on every front. For the fact that Bassara himself is this, 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:19.400 you know, perfectly amiable. I got to be honest, perfectly amiable, 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:26.480 but completely unaccomplished, establishment non entity who's got literally nothing 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:29.199 to offer California except more of the same, as well 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:32.479 as a positive plan to change. They're really practical things 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:34.760 that are going to help people your first hundred grand 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:38.240 tax free, three dollar gaffs, cut your electric bills in half, 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:40.840 a home you can afford to buy, cut your cost, 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:45.000 help your business, fix our schools. Just common sense, practical things. 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:47.600 We're crying out for that in California. And the last 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.840 point I'll make, there's a majority for that in California. 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:54.200 Fifty seven percent of Californians think that the state's going 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:56.640 in the wrong direction and needs change. And that's why 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:58.720 I'm confident we can win in November. 0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:02.760 Man calling him a perdu establishment non entity, that is 0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:06.919 very accurate. Yeah, back when people spoke more fancily, they 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:10.720 would refer to him as a mediocrity. So Steve, enough softball. 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:12.399 So I'm going to ask you the hard question. And 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:15.480 we know California and California politics pretty well at this point. 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:19.360 If you go up into the beautiful foothills and mountain areas. 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:22.159 The more rural areas of California, you see Trump flags 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:26.400 of flying when you go into the deep blue cities. 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:30.600 That name is anathema, and the left is trying desperately 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:34.000 to turn you into some sort of leading maga character. 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:36.520 How are you going to deal with that challenge having 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:38.320 received the president's endorsement. 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.240
