And then you had 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.880 cute little Disney Princess eyed AOC explaining that all this 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.280 is actually a sign of how that off Republicans are, 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.200 which is quite the Take a couple of my favorite 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:05.800 female thinkers, Katie Grimes first, the California Globe Democrats on display. 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.519 There's no joy in leftism, I think, she lays out 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.360 some and we're this is far more than just an 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.560 autopsy of Tuesday night speech and the reaction. It's it's 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.680 a snapshot of where we are politically in this country 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:22.160 that I found really interesting. But anyway, Katie, real quick now, 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:23.560 please coming up. 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:29.280 So parents and kids are turning to like AI chatbots 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:30.800 for advice or companionship. 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:32.080 Danger. Danger. 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.800 I got a horrifying example from real life. A friend 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.040 told me about the other night of her daughter trying 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.440 to get advice from a chatbot on how to please 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:46.160 a dude. Oh we're talking about a twelve year old. 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.320 Oh stay tuned, boy. Okay. 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.560 Democrats have been digging themselves a grave so deep and 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:55.960 vast they're gone lost a drift they can't dig out 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.560 of it. For any doubters, the Party of abhorrent, petulant 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.440 toddlers was on full dies last evening at Donald Trump's 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.360 congressional address, Rights Katie and then the list that I 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.360 think is really it's worth going through. Democrats would not 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.360 stand for thirteen year old DJ Daniel, a brain cancer survivor, 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.560 as he received honorary Secret Service credentials. They wouldn't stand 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.600 for murder victim Lacoln Riley's Riley's mother and sister when 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.160 President Trump honored them in Lake and Riley. 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.480 I that one. It was unbelievable to me. 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.400 I thought, wow, even if you were given instructions to 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:33.359 sit to show how much you resist Trump God, when 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:38.160 they had Lacln Riley's parents raped and murdered parents, stand. 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:39.560 Up, I thought you'd just stood up. 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.680 They wouldn't stand when President Trump and Trump announced the 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.120 US captured the terrorists who murdered thirteen Americans during the 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.839 botched Afghanistan pull out. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:48.800 How do you not? 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.600 I mean again, what where's the partisan I don't even 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.280 understand what you're doing. Democrats did not stand for Mark Fogel, 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.920 wrongfully detained in a Russian prison for more than three years, 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.480 and his ninety five year old mother. Democrats did not 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.600 stand for Stephanie Dillar, widow of slain and YPD officer 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.000 Jonathan Diller, who President Trump honor. Democrats did not stand 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.720 for former high school volleyball player Peyton McNabb, who was 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.920 left with brain damage and paralysis on the right side 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.200 of her face by a trans volleyball player. Democrats did 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.960 not stand for the mother of murder victim Jocelyn Nungray. 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:23.120 Did not go unnoticed, missus Nungray said afterwards. Democrats acted cowardly. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.000 Democrats did not stand when Trump announced that high school 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.839 senior Jason Hartley is six letter varsity athlete with a 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.840 high GPA and his father was killed in action or 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.480 I can't remember the story precisely, but we'll get to that. 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.960 That he was accepted to the US military at West Point. 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.360 He was then given a high five by thirteen year 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.640 old DJ Daniels. Democrats did not stand or clap. Most 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.479 people were wiping away tears. Democrats sat still, looking angry 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.240 and morose with their stupid little paddle signs, which made 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.359 for some really good memes, including America Last, I voted 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:56.000 against women. 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:56.880 I love war. 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.600 I steal from taxpayers illegals first, and I don't know. 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:01.360 What a woman is. 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:08.080 Some fine memory in a finally compiled list, and Katie 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.440 goes on in their usual eloquent way. But speaking of eloquence, 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:14.440 the fabulous, fabulous Peggy Noonan explaining what I was trying 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:20.760 to explain Wednesday morning, just better about what why I 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.680 was so struck by the speech, Not the words of it, 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.760 but the tone and the contrast between the Republicans and 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:32.239 the Democrats, and the way the Democrats behaved and Peggy rights, 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.880 Democrats look like fools Tuesday night. We don't need to 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.440 dwell on how they sat, grim faced, seething, or walked 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.839 out while the President spoke. One stood, yelled, Brandish's cane 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.120 was removed by the sergeant in arms. Others held up 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.040 little paddles bearing little insults, some more special color coded outfits. 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.240 Almost all refused to show normal warmth or engagement. From 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.200 my notes, as the camera turned and dwelled on the 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:53.920 furious faces quote, they. 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:57.599 Look like the green room in Hell. All halt. 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:02.880 Donald Trump romped three thoughts. One, these aren't serious people. 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.760 Two their job was to show they're an alternative to 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.240 mister Trump. And instead they showed why he won third. 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.520 And most important, they will continue to lose for a 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.680 long time. I hadn't known that until Tuesday. 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:15.400 Wow. 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.520 And then she goes into a bit of history which 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.839 I will encapsulate very quickly for time's sake. But she 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:28.880 goes through various losses by various parties from nineteen eighty 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:33.039 one to nineteen fifty five, nineteen eighty four, nineteen eighty eight, 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:38.360 when the party that lost badly would readjust reassess and 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.359 quickly understand the reality on the ground. 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:45.440 That's been my observation over the many years. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.279 Just when you think one of the parties is like 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.760 never going to make a comeback, they end up, you know, 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.039 sweeping very soon. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:56.560 And she cites in particular Reagan, Reagan, HW Busch Bush 0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.640 and then hw Bush barely losing because of a commun 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.120 combination of Ross Perrot and saying, read my lips to 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.000 no new taxes than raising taxes. 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.719 So it easily could have been four in a row. Anyway. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.960 We are in death wish too. In this space. 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.600 We believe two strong and healthy parties vying for popular 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.160 support is good for the country, she says. And we 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.640 offer advice for the democrats, I will start with something 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.680 they won't believe. In politics, there is bringing the love 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.200 and bringing the hate. When the thirteen year old boy 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.520 who had brain cancer and it always wanted to be 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.520 a cop is appointed as an honorary Secret Service agent 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:34.240 laminated id in all, and the child, surprised by the gesture, 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.840 hugs the normally taciturn head of the Secret Service. The 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.720 only thing to do, because you are a human, is 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:40.560 cheer that child. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:41.000 Wow. 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.920 And when the President honors a young man who's late father, 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.000 a veteran and policeman, had inspired his wish to serve 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.960 and dreams of attending West Point, and the President says 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.520 he has some sway in the admissions office, and young man, 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.080 you are going to West Point. I'm tearing up myself. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.160 I not only got choked up when it happened. I'm 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.360 choked up as I write. The boy with cancer high 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.160 fives the young man. And the only response to such 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.559 sweetness is tears in your eyes. The moment is love. 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.200 It was showing love for regular Americans. To cheer them 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.720 is to cheer us. It shows admiration for an affiliation 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.160 with normal people who try to get through and endure 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.800 and hold on to good hopes. The Democrats brought the hate. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.720 They sat stoneface, joyless and loveless. They didn't show love 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.040 for Americans anymore. They look down on them, feel distance 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.040 from them, instruct them, remind them to feel bad when 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:35.360 they're surrounded by injustice. Well, because they're unjust. Trump says, no, man, 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.520 I love you. Which is better? Which is kinder, more generous? 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.600 Which inspires? Which wins? And Peggy Noonan is not a 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:48.720 Trump fan. No, No, she's a very moderate conservative. I 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.920 thought that was beautiful writing. She goes on, there's a 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.559 little more. Democrats have to understand where they are. They 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.240 have completely lost their reputation as the party of the 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.160 working man with their bad governance of the major cities 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:04.199 and their airy, abstract obsessions with identity politics and gender ideology. 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.880 They have driven away the working class for whom life 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.720 isn't airy or abstract. 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:11.240 That's a great sentence. 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.840 Yeah, Democrats must stop listening to the left of their party. 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.559 It tugs them too far away from the vast majority 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.600 of Americans. They have been radical on the border, on crime, 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.160 on boys in the girls' locker room. They should take 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.160 those issues off the table by admitting they got them wrong. 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.960 Yeah, well, yeah, I was going to summarize with because 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.040 you know, I don't have her skills or time to 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:38.640 write a column. Twitter ain't the real world, That's all 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.800 you need to say. And every meeting is a democrat. 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.280 Twitter ain't the real world. Anybody get up this morning 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.000 and look at Twitter, bad idea. Stop getting up in 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:47.800 the morning and listening to Twitter. Get up in the 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.240 morning and talk to your neighbor who might be a Democrat, 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.440 see what they care about. That's what I would tell democrats. 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:55.560 Quit looking at Twitter. 0:09:55.920 --> 0:10:01.080 Ever, I would I agree completely, but you need to 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.680 extend that because of the absolutely shocking takeover of some 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:10.199 of our institutions by a very very tiny number of Americans. 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:16.400 But it's like ninety literally ninety two ninety three percent 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:17.679 of academia. 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.640 So I would say, do not look at Twitter. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.840 Do not ask an academic, and do not ask a 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:23.600 government worker. 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.880 Yeah. I know somebody who's been in the university world 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:30.240 their whole lives and whole adult lives anyway, and I 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.760 cut them some slack for their completely distorted view of 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.720 the world because what other view of the. 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.440 World would they have? Yeah, yeah, I did too. On 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:40.280 a personal level. 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:44.560 I get that, and I would much rather persuade people 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.559 than just hate them. And so yeah, I would love 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:52.280 to go like a missionary onto university campuses. And there 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.599 are people who do this, and just Peter Pagotian's a 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.559 genius had it by the way. He is so patient 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.120 and so subtle. He doesn't even try to win arguments. 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.400 He just asks questions. But I would like to go 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.120 like a missionary to try to convert the natives because 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.760 they have bizarre beliefs that are hurting them. But until 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.120 as we said last hour, and the fact that it's 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.040 Gavin Whosome doing this is just so utterly calling to 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:19.280 me as he lusts for the presidency. But until prominent 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:25.080 Democrats say, if we're not pissing off our academic far left, 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.040 we're not nearly as far to the center as we 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:28.560 need to be. 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:31.959 Yeah, that's interesting stuff. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.480 I almost don't even want to tell this whole AI 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.800 chatbot story. But it's a good thing for me to know, 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:42.320 it's a good thing for other parents to know, it's 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.360 a good thing for everybody to recognize is part of. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.280 The new world we live in. Among other things we 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:53.000 got coming up. So stay here. 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:56.839 Netflix, just as their second live boxing event. Yeah, and 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.000 I honestly think Jake Paul's a pretty good chance against 0:11:59.040 --> 0:11:59.680 Dick van Dyk. 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.760 Wow. 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.160 I mean, the great Dick van Dame does not need 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:16.680 a punching so ah coming up fascinating and troubling AI 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.240 counseling children stuff. 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:20.280 I karamba. 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.120 So speaking of generations, I thought this was both amusing 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:25.560 and slightly annoying. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.520 But it's an article about how. 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:36.640 Evidently some demographer social researcher by the name of Mark 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.359 McCrindle has become the go to guy for naming generations. 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.960 Never heard of this guy, and the just of the 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:49.120 article is that he believes the whole like coming up 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.400 with a groovy name for the generation and seeing if 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.640 it catches on is kind of dumb. 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:56.240 Well, I gotta. 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.679 Believe that he or whoever was in charge. They came 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.319 up with gen X way back in the day. I mean, 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.720 this was the eighties when they started talking gen X 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:05.720 as far. 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.080 The coolest generation name, by the way, not just because 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:09.959 of my year of birth. 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.040 And then at the meeting where they came up with 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.840 gen Y, somebody should have raised their hand and say, hey, 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.680 I see like a problem coming down the road. We 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.520 might want to get ahead of with this whole lettering thing. 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:22.800 We're running out of letters in the outphant, what are 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:23.240 we gonna do? 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:24.280 Well? 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.839 You got the Silent generation, who weren't silent at all 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:32.120 at the old hodown. And then you got the Greatest Generation, 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.600 a fine generation, thanks for winning World War Two. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.079 But you know there's some good somepod. 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.680 Then you got the baby boomers. There are a bunch 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.080 of babies that once and now I'm. 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.960 A boomer, the most selfish generation that had ruined everything. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:48.920 Oh there's that is a fair criticism. Hippies and yeah, 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.200 damn hippies. And then then you got Generation X, again 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.720 by far the coolest name. They go through a couple 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.839 more letters, and then they, having run out of letters, 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:01.040 they go with Millennials. And then then what's the next one? 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:06.280 It doesn't matter anyway, So this guy says, all right, 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:09.160 we gotta quit screwing around. We'll just use Greek letters. Okay, 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.640 so Generation Alpha just happened a while back, But now 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.160 it's Generation Beta. 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.080 When did alpha thing? Because I never even heard generation Alpha? 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.440 I know, I know, but apparently those who talk about 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.760 this crap have. But anyway, the point is now it's 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.360 Generation beta, and of course beta is an insult in 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.400 the modern world, right it means, for instance, a weak 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:36.400 and passive man or something. And so there are parents 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:40.120 evidently who are offended now that their children are being 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:44.800 What can we stop naming generations completely? 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.320 What is a generation? Even? 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:51.360 I mean generation expands for like twenty three years or something. 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:52.440 This is crazy. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.160 Well, there's a number of problems with it that are 0:14:55.320 --> 0:15:00.160 fairly obvious. But at least back in the day, you know, 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.520 how much changed between you know, this decade and that decade, 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:09.360 not a ton, Whereas now, holy crap, if you're growing 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.840 up in the smartphone world, it's completely different than the 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:13.880 pre smartphone world. 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.760 It just is, right, So let's go with more descriptive 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:22.640 names like the smartphonies or or all digital weirdos or 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.480 I don't yeah, I'm just spitballing here. 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.560 Uh yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.880 The change has been so massive so quickly you might 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.080 have to go like every five and a half years, right, 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.840 have a new quote unquote generation if you're cause you know, 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.560 mostly I think it's useless. But if I'm a boss 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.360 and you can say, all right, this next person we've 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.040 known or we've hired is a beta zoomer and you 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.400 look it up and you see, oh, Beta zoomers are 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.000 extremely insecure and need to be coddled like little kittens. 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.800 On the other hand, they're rebellious and blah blah. It 0:15:57.880 --> 0:15:59.520 might be a tool to help you deal with them. 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.920 Right, It seems like giant world changing events would be 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.640 better than just picking years like every so many years. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.920 Like I mentioned smartphones, COVID would be a good marker 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.640 if you were, you know, in if you're in grade 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.080 school during COVID you, I know, teachers say those are 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:17.400 different kinds of kids. 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.560 How did jen X get its name? I mean, what 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:22.920 a what a? What does that even mean? 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:27.520 How about Watergate and Vietnam made us very cynical? Plus 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.080 half of our parents got divorced. 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:31.800 I mean it's kind of long, but. 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:37.680 Yeah, the latch Key generation anyway, Yeah, don't call them 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:38.480 Generation Beta. 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:44.480 It's hurtful, so so dumb, so dumb. 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.760 Well, we got a couple of different things on AI 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.040 and chat bots and that sort of stuff. And I 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:55.600 got a story from real life a kid turn into 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.840 chatbots for sex advice, which I guess. 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.360 Is pretty easy to do. Yeah, you know what. 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.920 The chatbot's telling them, and then next hour the Department 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:04.480 of Education. 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.040 What does it do? What does it not do? What 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.199 should it do? Should it exist? A thorough analysis? 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.200 If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:15.680 Getty on demand. 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:15.119 Arm Strong and Getty. 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.679 The AI companions are designed to seem like real people 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.400 with distinct personalities.

I like the way. 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.439 The scary part of that story is that that is 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.040 being sent to Russia and China. 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.040 That's not the part that actually bothers me. 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:03.080 I don't like that, but right, it's not exactly good. 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:04.280 But yeah, I hear you talking. 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:05.680 So I got a couple of stories. 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.480 One of them I told before, and I got to 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.119 be vague about them because they're they're real life stories 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:13.679 people have told me, and I don't want them to 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:18.320 get in trouble for you know, passing along more or 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.640 less confidential information.
