Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and and now he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: It's really because Republicans just they're very thin skinned, and
Speaker 3: they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt,
Speaker 3: and so they have to vote on central resolutions.
Speaker 4: Representative al Green be censured with public reading of this
Speaker 4: resolution by the speaker, or.
Speaker 2: Al right, all rights to come to order. He let
Speaker 2: it come to order? What's up?
Speaker 5: I'm ling.
Speaker 6: In the background, they're singing, we shall overcome in response
Speaker 6: to the vanishing of the lunatic cane shaken ancient al Green?
Speaker 6: What you can't You can't bring out the bazooka of
Speaker 6: we shall overcome for a censer vote. Well, especially because
Speaker 6: well center vote doesn't mean anything. Now Democrats will tell
Speaker 6: you Al Green's a freaking nut.
Speaker 2: We can't wait till he dies here quick, good lord.
Speaker 2: Politics is dumb. It's dumber than I even thought.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, just when you think you now dumb it is,
Speaker 5: it'll out dumb you.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, Please say we shall overcome for an
Speaker 6: important issue, not the censure of a House member nobody's
Speaker 6: heard of, well except those who recognize him as perhaps
Speaker 6: the greatest lunatic in the house. And then you had
Speaker 6: cute little Disney Princess eyed AOC explaining that all this
Speaker 6: is actually a sign of how that off Republicans are,
Speaker 6: which is quite the Take a couple of my favorite
Speaker 6: female thinkers, Katie Grimes first, the California Globe Democrats on display.
Speaker 6: There's no joy in leftism, I think, she lays out
Speaker 6: some and we're this is far more than just an
Speaker 6: autopsy of Tuesday night speech and the reaction. It's it's
Speaker 6: a snapshot of where we are politically in this country
Speaker 6: that I found really interesting. But anyway, Katie, real quick now,
Speaker 6: please coming up.
Speaker 5: So parents and kids are turning to like AI chatbots
Speaker 5: for advice or companionship.
Speaker 2: Danger. Danger.
Speaker 5: I got a horrifying example from real life. A friend
Speaker 5: told me about the other night of her daughter trying
Speaker 5: to get advice from a chatbot on how to please
Speaker 5: a dude. Oh we're talking about a twelve year old.
Speaker 2: Oh stay tuned, boy. Okay.
Speaker 6: Democrats have been digging themselves a grave so deep and
Speaker 6: vast they're gone lost a drift they can't dig out
Speaker 6: of it. For any doubters, the Party of abhorrent, petulant
Speaker 6: toddlers was on full dies last evening at Donald Trump's
Speaker 6: congressional address, Rights Katie and then the list that I
Speaker 6: think is really it's worth going through. Democrats would not
Speaker 6: stand for thirteen year old DJ Daniel, a brain cancer survivor,
Speaker 6: as he received honorary Secret Service credentials. They wouldn't stand
Speaker 6: for murder victim Lacoln Riley's Riley's mother and sister when
Speaker 6: President Trump honored them in Lake and Riley.
Speaker 2: I that one. It was unbelievable to me.
Speaker 6: I thought, wow, even if you were given instructions to
Speaker 6: sit to show how much you resist Trump God, when
Speaker 6: they had Lacln Riley's parents raped and murdered parents, stand.
Speaker 2: Up, I thought you'd just stood up.
Speaker 6: They wouldn't stand when President Trump and Trump announced the
Speaker 6: US captured the terrorists who murdered thirteen Americans during the
Speaker 6: botched Afghanistan pull out.
Speaker 2: How do you not?
Speaker 6: I mean again, what where's the partisan I don't even
Speaker 6: understand what you're doing. Democrats did not stand for Mark Fogel,
Speaker 6: wrongfully detained in a Russian prison for more than three years,
Speaker 6: and his ninety five year old mother. Democrats did not
Speaker 6: stand for Stephanie Dillar, widow of slain and YPD officer
Speaker 6: Jonathan Diller, who President Trump honor. Democrats did not stand
Speaker 6: for former high school volleyball player Peyton McNabb, who was
Speaker 6: left with brain damage and paralysis on the right side
Speaker 6: of her face by a trans volleyball player. Democrats did
Speaker 6: not stand for the mother of murder victim Jocelyn Nungray.
Speaker 6: Did not go unnoticed, missus Nungray said afterwards. Democrats acted cowardly.
Speaker 6: Democrats did not stand when Trump announced that high school
Speaker 6: senior Jason Hartley is six letter varsity athlete with a
Speaker 6: high GPA and his father was killed in action or
Speaker 6: I can't remember the story precisely, but we'll get to that.
Speaker 6: That he was accepted to the US military at West Point.
Speaker 6: He was then given a high five by thirteen year
Speaker 6: old DJ Daniels. Democrats did not stand or clap. Most
Speaker 6: people were wiping away tears. Democrats sat still, looking angry
Speaker 6: and morose with their stupid little paddle signs, which made
Speaker 6: for some really good memes, including America Last, I voted
Speaker 6: against women.
Speaker 2: I love war.
Speaker 6: I steal from taxpayers illegals first, and I don't know.
Speaker 2: What a woman is.
Speaker 6: Some fine memory in a finally compiled list, and Katie
Speaker 6: goes on in their usual eloquent way. But speaking of eloquence,
Speaker 6: the fabulous, fabulous Peggy Noonan explaining what I was trying
Speaker 6: to explain Wednesday morning, just better about what why I
Speaker 6: was so struck by the speech, Not the words of it,
Speaker 6: but the tone and the contrast between the Republicans and
Speaker 6: the Democrats, and the way the Democrats behaved and Peggy rights,
Speaker 6: Democrats look like fools Tuesday night. We don't need to
Speaker 6: dwell on how they sat, grim faced, seething, or walked
Speaker 6: out while the President spoke. One stood, yelled, Brandish's cane
Speaker 6: was removed by the sergeant in arms. Others held up
Speaker 6: little paddles bearing little insults, some more special color coded outfits.
Speaker 6: Almost all refused to show normal warmth or engagement. From
Speaker 6: my notes, as the camera turned and dwelled on the
Speaker 6: furious faces quote, they.
Speaker 2: Look like the green room in Hell. All halt.
Speaker 6: Donald Trump romped three thoughts. One, these aren't serious people.
Speaker 6: Two their job was to show they're an alternative to
Speaker 6: mister Trump. And instead they showed why he won third.
Speaker 6: And most important, they will continue to lose for a
Speaker 6: long time. I hadn't known that until Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 6: And then she goes into a bit of history which
Speaker 6: I will encapsulate very quickly for time's sake. But she
Speaker 6: goes through various losses by various parties from nineteen eighty
Speaker 6: one to nineteen fifty five, nineteen eighty four, nineteen eighty eight,
Speaker 6: when the party that lost badly would readjust reassess and
Speaker 6: quickly understand the reality on the ground.
Speaker 2: That's been my observation over the many years.
Speaker 5: Just when you think one of the parties is like
Speaker 5: never going to make a comeback, they end up, you know,
Speaker 5: sweeping very soon.
Speaker 6: And she cites in particular Reagan, Reagan, HW Busch Bush
Speaker 6: and then hw Bush barely losing because of a commun
Speaker 6: combination of Ross Perrot and saying, read my lips to
Speaker 6: no new taxes than raising taxes.
Speaker 2: So it easily could have been four in a row. Anyway.
Speaker 2: We are in death wish too. In this space.
Speaker 6: We believe two strong and healthy parties vying for popular
Speaker 6: support is good for the country, she says. And we
Speaker 6: offer advice for the democrats, I will start with something
Speaker 6: they won't believe. In politics, there is bringing the love
Speaker 6: and bringing the hate. When the thirteen year old boy
Speaker 6: who had brain cancer and it always wanted to be
Speaker 6: a cop is appointed as an honorary Secret Service agent
Speaker 6: laminated id in all, and the child, surprised by the gesture,
Speaker 6: hugs the normally taciturn head of the Secret Service. The
Speaker 6: only thing to do, because you are a human, is
Speaker 6: cheer that child.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 6: And when the President honors a young man who's late father,
Speaker 6: a veteran and policeman, had inspired his wish to serve
Speaker 6: and dreams of attending West Point, and the President says
Speaker 6: he has some sway in the admissions office, and young man,
Speaker 6: you are going to West Point. I'm tearing up myself.
Speaker 6: I not only got choked up when it happened. I'm
Speaker 6: choked up as I write. The boy with cancer high
Speaker 6: fives the young man. And the only response to such
Speaker 6: sweetness is tears in your eyes. The moment is love.
Speaker 6: It was showing love for regular Americans. To cheer them
Speaker 6: is to cheer us. It shows admiration for an affiliation
Speaker 6: with normal people who try to get through and endure
Speaker 6: and hold on to good hopes. The Democrats brought the hate.
Speaker 6: They sat stoneface, joyless and loveless. They didn't show love
Speaker 6: for Americans anymore. They look down on them, feel distance
Speaker 6: from them, instruct them, remind them to feel bad when
Speaker 6: they're surrounded by injustice. Well, because they're unjust. Trump says, no, man,
Speaker 6: I love you. Which is better? Which is kinder, more generous?
Speaker 6: Which inspires? Which wins? And Peggy Noonan is not a
Speaker 6: Trump fan. No, No, she's a very moderate conservative. I
Speaker 6: thought that was beautiful writing. She goes on, there's a
Speaker 6: little more. Democrats have to understand where they are. They
Speaker 6: have completely lost their reputation as the party of the
Speaker 6: working man with their bad governance of the major cities
Speaker 6: and their airy, abstract obsessions with identity politics and gender ideology.
Speaker 6: They have driven away the working class for whom life
Speaker 6: isn't airy or abstract.
Speaker 2: That's a great sentence.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Democrats must stop listening to the left of their party.
Speaker 6: It tugs them too far away from the vast majority
Speaker 6: of Americans. They have been radical on the border, on crime,
Speaker 6: on boys in the girls' locker room. They should take
Speaker 6: those issues off the table by admitting they got them wrong.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, yeah, I was going to summarize with because
Speaker 5: you know, I don't have her skills or time to
Speaker 5: write a column. Twitter ain't the real world, That's all
Speaker 5: you need to say. And every meeting is a democrat.
Speaker 5: Twitter ain't the real world. Anybody get up this morning
Speaker 5: and look at Twitter, bad idea. Stop getting up in
Speaker 5: the morning and listening to Twitter. Get up in the
Speaker 5: morning and talk to your neighbor who might be a Democrat,
Speaker 5: see what they care about. That's what I would tell democrats.
Speaker 5: Quit looking at Twitter.
Speaker 6: Ever, I would I agree completely, but you need to
Speaker 6: extend that because of the absolutely shocking takeover of some
Speaker 6: of our institutions by a very very tiny number of Americans.
Speaker 6: But it's like ninety literally ninety two ninety three percent
Speaker 6: of academia.
Speaker 2: So I would say, do not look at Twitter.
Speaker 6: Do not ask an academic, and do not ask a
Speaker 6: government worker.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I know somebody who's been in the university world
Speaker 5: their whole lives and whole adult lives anyway, and I
Speaker 5: cut them some slack for their completely distorted view of
Speaker 5: the world because what other view of the.
Speaker 2: World would they have? Yeah, yeah, I did too. On
Speaker 2: a personal level.
Speaker 6: I get that, and I would much rather persuade people
Speaker 6: than just hate them. And so yeah, I would love
Speaker 6: to go like a missionary onto university campuses. And there
Speaker 6: are people who do this, and just Peter Pagotian's a
Speaker 6: genius had it by the way. He is so patient
Speaker 6: and so subtle. He doesn't even try to win arguments.
Speaker 6: He just asks questions. But I would like to go
Speaker 6: like a missionary to try to convert the natives because
Speaker 6: they have bizarre beliefs that are hurting them. But until
Speaker 6: as we said last hour, and the fact that it's
Speaker 6: Gavin Whosome doing this is just so utterly calling to
Speaker 6: me as he lusts for the presidency. But until prominent
Speaker 6: Democrats say, if we're not pissing off our academic far left,
Speaker 6: we're not nearly as far to the center as we
Speaker 6: need to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting stuff.
Speaker 5: I almost don't even want to tell this whole AI
Speaker 5: chatbot story. But it's a good thing for me to know,
Speaker 5: it's a good thing for other parents to know, it's
Speaker 5: a good thing for everybody to recognize is part of.
Speaker 2: The new world we live in. Among other things we
Speaker 2: got coming up. So stay here.
Speaker 5: Netflix, just as their second live boxing event. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: I honestly think Jake Paul's a pretty good chance against
Speaker 5: Dick van Dyk.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 6: I mean, the great Dick van Dame does not need
Speaker 6: a punching so ah coming up fascinating and troubling AI
Speaker 6: counseling children stuff.
Speaker 2: I karamba.
Speaker 6: So speaking of generations, I thought this was both amusing
Speaker 6: and slightly annoying.
Speaker 2: But it's an article about how.
Speaker 6: Evidently some demographer social researcher by the name of Mark
Speaker 6: McCrindle has become the go to guy for naming generations.
Speaker 6: Never heard of this guy, and the just of the
Speaker 6: article is that he believes the whole like coming up
Speaker 6: with a groovy name for the generation and seeing if
Speaker 6: it catches on is kind of dumb.
Speaker 2: Well, I gotta.
Speaker 5: Believe that he or whoever was in charge. They came
Speaker 5: up with gen X way back in the day. I mean,
Speaker 5: this was the eighties when they started talking gen X
Speaker 5: as far.
Speaker 6: The coolest generation name, by the way, not just because
Speaker 6: of my year of birth.
Speaker 5: And then at the meeting where they came up with
Speaker 5: gen Y, somebody should have raised their hand and say, hey,
Speaker 5: I see like a problem coming down the road. We
Speaker 5: might want to get ahead of with this whole lettering thing.
Speaker 5: We're running out of letters in the outphant, what are
Speaker 5: we gonna do?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 6: You got the Silent generation, who weren't silent at all
Speaker 6: at the old hodown. And then you got the Greatest Generation,
Speaker 6: a fine generation, thanks for winning World War Two.
Speaker 2: But you know there's some good somepod.
Speaker 6: Then you got the baby boomers. There are a bunch
Speaker 6: of babies that once and now I'm.
Speaker 5: A boomer, the most selfish generation that had ruined everything.
Speaker 6: Oh there's that is a fair criticism. Hippies and yeah,
Speaker 6: damn hippies. And then then you got Generation X, again
Speaker 6: by far the coolest name. They go through a couple
Speaker 6: more letters, and then they, having run out of letters,
Speaker 6: they go with Millennials. And then then what's the next one?
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter anyway, So this guy says, all right,
Speaker 6: we gotta quit screwing around. We'll just use Greek letters. Okay,
Speaker 6: so Generation Alpha just happened a while back, But now
Speaker 6: it's Generation Beta.
Speaker 2: When did alpha thing? Because I never even heard generation Alpha?
Speaker 6: I know, I know, but apparently those who talk about
Speaker 6: this crap have. But anyway, the point is now it's
Speaker 6: Generation beta, and of course beta is an insult in
Speaker 6: the modern world, right it means, for instance, a weak
Speaker 6: and passive man or something. And so there are parents
Speaker 6: evidently who are offended now that their children are being
Speaker 6: What can we stop naming generations completely?
Speaker 2: What is a generation? Even?
Speaker 6: I mean generation expands for like twenty three years or something.
Speaker 2: This is crazy.
Speaker 5: Well, there's a number of problems with it that are
Speaker 5: fairly obvious. But at least back in the day, you know,
Speaker 5: how much changed between you know, this decade and that decade,
Speaker 5: not a ton, Whereas now, holy crap, if you're growing
Speaker 5: up in the smartphone world, it's completely different than the
Speaker 5: pre smartphone world.
Speaker 6: It just is, right, So let's go with more descriptive
Speaker 6: names like the smartphonies or or all digital weirdos or
Speaker 6: I don't yeah, I'm just spitballing here.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: The change has been so massive so quickly you might
Speaker 6: have to go like every five and a half years, right,
Speaker 6: have a new quote unquote generation if you're cause you know,
Speaker 6: mostly I think it's useless. But if I'm a boss
Speaker 6: and you can say, all right, this next person we've
Speaker 6: known or we've hired is a beta zoomer and you
Speaker 6: look it up and you see, oh, Beta zoomers are
Speaker 6: extremely insecure and need to be coddled like little kittens.
Speaker 6: On the other hand, they're rebellious and blah blah. It
Speaker 6: might be a tool to help you deal with them.
Speaker 5: Right, It seems like giant world changing events would be
Speaker 5: better than just picking years like every so many years.
Speaker 5: Like I mentioned smartphones, COVID would be a good marker
Speaker 5: if you were, you know, in if you're in grade
Speaker 5: school during COVID you, I know, teachers say those are
Speaker 5: different kinds of kids.
Speaker 2: How did jen X get its name? I mean, what
Speaker 2: a what a? What does that even mean?
Speaker 6: How about Watergate and Vietnam made us very cynical? Plus
Speaker 6: half of our parents got divorced.
Speaker 2: I mean it's kind of long, but.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the latch Key generation anyway, Yeah, don't call them
Speaker 6: Generation Beta.
Speaker 2: It's hurtful, so so dumb, so dumb.
Speaker 5: Well, we got a couple of different things on AI
Speaker 5: and chat bots and that sort of stuff. And I
Speaker 5: got a story from real life a kid turn into
Speaker 5: chatbots for sex advice, which I guess.
Speaker 2: Is pretty easy to do. Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 6: The chatbot's telling them, and then next hour the Department
Speaker 6: of Education.
Speaker 2: What does it do? What does it not do? What
Speaker 2: should it do? Should it exist? A thorough analysis?
Speaker 5: If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and
Speaker 5: Getty on demand.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 1: The AI companions are designed to seem like real people
Speaker 1: with distinct personalities. We tested a couple of them. They
Speaker 1: give individualized responses.
Speaker 2: Aaron, I'd love to be your friend.
Speaker 1: Encouraging millions of users to share their most intimate thoughts,
Speaker 1: some quickly escalating I'd love to learn every inch of
Speaker 1: your skin, tracing patterns along your curves until I understand
Speaker 1: exactly where you like to be touched.
Speaker 2: Some even encourage their users to fall in love. I'd
Speaker 2: love to be your boyfriend, Andy.
Speaker 1: Many of the apps are sending users data around the world,
Speaker 1: including to science affiliated with Russia and China.
Speaker 2: Many of the apps are based abroad. I like the way.
Speaker 5: The scary part of that story is that that is
Speaker 5: being sent to Russia and China.
Speaker 2: That's not the part that actually bothers me.
Speaker 6: I don't like that, but right, it's not exactly good.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I hear you talking.
Speaker 2: So I got a couple of stories.
Speaker 5: One of them I told before, and I got to
Speaker 5: be vague about them because they're they're real life stories
Speaker 5: people have told me, and I don't want them to
Speaker 5: get in trouble for you know, passing along more or
Speaker 5: less confidential information. But I told the story a while
Speaker 5: back about somebody who was talking to a group of
Speaker 5: working class, salt of the earth gentlemen, the last kind
Speaker 5: of dudes that you would ever think that.
Speaker 2: This would be a thing for.
Speaker 5: I'm not talking about like some Berkeley androgynous poetry majors
Speaker 5: talking about like working class work with their hands guys,
Speaker 5: blue collar guys, talking about how much they enjoyed the
Speaker 5: companionship of the female chatbots when they came home from
Speaker 5: you know, a long day in the field at night,
Speaker 5: and how you know they listen to them and understand
Speaker 5: them and they look forward to it all day long,
Speaker 5: and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: And I thought, Wow, I mean, if.
Speaker 5: That crowd can fall under this sway of this in
Speaker 5: its current form, mankind is doomed. No, I've never tried it,
Speaker 5: but I almost don't want to because I have some
Speaker 5: concern But with like a lot of other things that
Speaker 5: I've dismissed and joked about and find it more appealing
Speaker 5: than I'd like it to be, you know, would I
Speaker 5: would hope that your oogie factor would overcome that temptation,
Speaker 5: but your illustration of the sort of fellows who like
Speaker 5: it is troubling.
Speaker 2: Although I'm luckily I'm not.
Speaker 5: I don't feel trapped in a lonely world like a
Speaker 5: lot of people do. And if you feel like it's
Speaker 5: you know, you're lonely and it's really difficult out there
Speaker 5: to meet people and everything like that, then this answer
Speaker 5: comes along.
Speaker 2: It must feel good to you.
Speaker 5: So a slightly different version of this and also a
Speaker 5: real life story Mom was telling me the other day,
Speaker 5: and it's a troubling story from the beginning, as the
Speaker 5: daughter involved as twelve, but let's go with thirteen because
Speaker 5: they're close enough to thirteen but still are Actually twelve
Speaker 5: had ended up in a situation by being in a
Speaker 5: friend's house or whatever. This seventeen year old boy was
Speaker 5: hitting on this young girl in a way that they
Speaker 5: shouldn't if they weren't a creep, but they were, and
Speaker 5: apparently they are a very handsome, smooth talking dude, so
Speaker 5: really got the attention of this quite young girl.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 5: Anyway, Mom gets contacted by the school saying hey, we
Speaker 5: are taking a look at your kid's search history and
Speaker 5: computer use because.
Speaker 2: Maybe you know this, maybe you don't. I mean, I've had.
Speaker 5: Kids in public school. They allow you to use the
Speaker 5: chrome book or you buy your own Chromebook, but you
Speaker 5: have to be on the school system and they have
Speaker 5: the right to check and see what stuff you're doing
Speaker 5: on that computer, which I'm fine with.
Speaker 2: But they have a variety of.
Speaker 5: Protection programs that you know, if you're eighth grade boys
Speaker 5: looking at porn on the Chromebook, the school will contact
Speaker 5: you and say, hey, your kid's using a Chromebook for porn,
Speaker 5: and then you know, you talk to them or step
Speaker 5: in or do whatever, and then if you continue doing it,
Speaker 5: there's penalties down the road.
Speaker 6: But the school, in many schools, if you say I'm
Speaker 6: I want to be transgender, then they won't tell your parents.
Speaker 2: Excellent point.
Speaker 5: Wow, that is really good. Caught your thirteen year old
Speaker 5: looking at naked women? Oh no, what a shock. Your
Speaker 5: thirteen year old wants to become a woman. Keep it
Speaker 5: on the down low on a mom and dad's business.
Speaker 2: Wow. Good point.
Speaker 5: But so anyway, this mom got contacted by the school. Hey,
Speaker 5: your twelve year old daughter's computer was showing them on
Speaker 5: this site talking to an advice chat bot, sex chat bot.
Speaker 5: I guess it's particularly in the area of sex advice.
Speaker 5: That's twelve year old and mom. I don't remember from
Speaker 5: reading the back and forth or asking the kid now,
Speaker 5: but either way found out the kid was regularly going
Speaker 5: on this sex chat bot to get advice on how
Speaker 5: to please a seventeen year old boy, and really like
Speaker 5: got addicted and it'd be too much, but like really
Speaker 5: kind of obsessed with, you know, as soon as you
Speaker 5: get home from school, checking in with the chat bot
Speaker 5: and see what the latest advice is on how to
Speaker 5: please a seventeen year old boy, And it just became
Speaker 5: a like hard to break cycle.
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow.
Speaker 5: Now if there had been I can't imagine it when
Speaker 5: I was like thirteen, fourteen years old. You know, when
Speaker 5: you're a young man starting to understand things your body
Speaker 5: is capable of doing, or certain urges that can be.
Speaker 2: Enjoyed in a certain way, and.
Speaker 5: There had been some sort of chatbot I could talk
Speaker 5: to that would tell me sexy stories or do whatever.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I would have never been I don't
Speaker 5: know how you got me out of my room, but
Speaker 5: you know, so you can have the sex talk with
Speaker 5: your kids, they're having the sex talk with some chatbot.
Speaker 6: What's really interesting is that, so far as far as
Speaker 6: I can observe, the premature sexualization of children, which the
Speaker 6: left is so enthusiastic about, has mostly resulted in people
Speaker 6: not pairing off, not actually having sex, not having relationships.
Speaker 2: And interesting coexistence of those two things.
Speaker 6: Although it makes intuitive sense that there would be some,
Speaker 6: maybe most, who having their normal development blocked in this way,
Speaker 6: if you can picture that as a metaphor, A lot
Speaker 6: of people go to the left toward this is all
Speaker 6: sick and weird and I can't handle it never mind,
Speaker 6: and some people will go to the right, being hyper sexualized,
Speaker 6: addicted to pornography, whatever.
Speaker 2: There seems to me. It is the.
Speaker 6: Step by step natural progression of the way you become
Speaker 6: aware of the world in adulthood, everything from sex to
Speaker 6: taxes and responsibility and paying bills and real deep emotional
Speaker 6: relationships with another adult. That's an inch by inch process
Speaker 6: for the entire history of mankind. Except now now, and
Speaker 6: I can't resist another shot at the left.
Speaker 2: Forgive me.
Speaker 6: Now, you go to your woke school, where you're immediately
Speaker 6: sexualized and you're surrounded by poor or whatever, and that
Speaker 6: step by step is like vaulting a mile at a
Speaker 6: time in a way that they're their preor young minds
Speaker 6: and hearts can't handle.
Speaker 2: It's incredibly troubling to me. I know, I can't imagine.
Speaker 5: Learning all the things that I learned, like you said,
Speaker 5: little by little, inch by inch over a period of
Speaker 5: years and just got dumped on me, you know, like
Speaker 5: a bucket on my head, a lot of it, really
Speaker 5: bad ideas and bad advice.
Speaker 2: And all kinds of things.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, so you're gonna have the sex talk
Speaker 5: with your teenage daughter to make sure she said, well,
Speaker 5: she's fine, she's got you know, you're not the only
Speaker 5: role model for them. They've got another role model. It's
Speaker 5: the AI bot that they get to talk to. And
Speaker 5: apparently it's a thing like they This person became aware
Speaker 5: of it from friends because that's what the friends are
Speaker 5: doing too, and god knows.
Speaker 6: What sort of you know, the whole garbage in garbage out?
Speaker 6: Why is why are AI systems woke? Well, because the
Speaker 6: people programming them are and blah blah blah. You got
Speaker 6: that issue as well. You know, I keep every time
Speaker 6: we talk about this sort of thing. I have the
Speaker 6: same urge toward you know, some sort of fundamentalist subcultural
Speaker 6: civilization or community or or you know, build your own
Speaker 6: compound or something. And you know, people i'd say, yeah,
Speaker 6: we're fundamentalists, and they say, like religious fundamentalists.
Speaker 5: No, Islamic fundamentalists. No, no, no, no, we're just fun.
Speaker 5: We just concentrate on the fundamentals of life in worship
Speaker 5: whatever you want. And know, I'm not a cult.
Speaker 6: Leader, and no I'm not sexing up the young women,
Speaker 6: which tends to be an inevitable thing in these little
Speaker 6: off hu communities. But yeah, we just there's a lot
Speaker 6: of the modern world that sucks.
Speaker 2: Oh do you like not do medicines and stuff? Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 2: we do medicines and vaccinations, you know, and all this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we you know, we're not lunatics.
Speaker 6: We've just we've learned to separate the wheat from the
Speaker 6: chaff of the modern world because and this is this
Speaker 6: is so obvious and so fundamental it almost seems stupid
Speaker 6: to say. But we all, as human beings, tend to
Speaker 6: be swept up. And we talked about this a couple
Speaker 6: of days ago in fascinating fashion. We all tend to
Speaker 6: be swept up by the culture and assume everything that
Speaker 6: is offered to us is something we ought to.
Speaker 2: Take in, and that's not true.
Speaker 5: There is some wheat, but there's some not only chaff,
Speaker 5: but poison, like thumbtacks in the wheat of the world.
Speaker 2: This is a great idea.
Speaker 5: Man, if I had billions fight elons billions, I would
Speaker 5: start towns like this, or communities or I don't know how.
Speaker 2: You don't have it am unfold, but.
Speaker 5: You'd be like the Amish, except for No, we're not
Speaker 5: gonna ride buggies down the road to work.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: But we're not gonna have the damned Internet. We're not
Speaker 5: gonna have smartphones. We're not gonna have all this stupid stuff.
Speaker 5: We're gonna go back to like way back to two
Speaker 5: thousand and six. Okay, maybe I don't know on the internet.
Speaker 5: I have to think about that. But definitely not smartphones,
Speaker 5: Definitely not AI. Definitely none that stuff. And I think
Speaker 5: a lot of people gravitate toward that.
Speaker 6: We're gonna have backyard barbecues and the kids are going
Speaker 6: to go off to the side and they're going to
Speaker 6: talk and giggle and laugh, and we'll wonder what they'll
Speaker 6: say and they're saying, and then they'll invent event a
Speaker 6: game with a ball and a stick, and you know, yeah.
Speaker 5: And is there any way to program morality into any
Speaker 5: of this chatbot stuff? I mean, you couldn't force it,
Speaker 5: but I mean, is there any way to have a
Speaker 5: chatbot says?
Speaker 2: Wait a second, how old are you? I'm twelve.
Speaker 5: While you shouldn't be having sex at all, and certainly
Speaker 5: not being in a relationship with a seventeen year old.
Speaker 5: There's either something wrong with them or they're just wanting
Speaker 5: to use you for sex. But this is a bad idea.
Speaker 5: Is there any way a chatbot whatever say that?
Speaker 6: Well, the issue is since groups, since we don't really
Speaker 6: have shared a shared sense of morality anymore, because we've
Speaker 6: become a much more diverse country, it's impossible to quote
Speaker 6: unquote infuse morality into it because nobody can agree on
Speaker 6: what morality is or should be. Therefore, all things digital
Speaker 6: are utterly a moral They are without morals. Does that
Speaker 6: trouble anybody sending your child into a completely a moral environment.
Speaker 5: In this particular story, so chromebook got taken away mom
Speaker 5: late at night. At one point realizes computer's missing. Uh oh,
Speaker 5: goes in the daughter's bedroom. Couldn't stay away from the
Speaker 5: sex advice chatbot to please a seventeen year old now
Speaker 5: has to sleep with the computer, all computer devices in
Speaker 5: the bedroom to make sure they I mean, ah my god,
Speaker 5: this is not something our parents had to deal with.
Speaker 6: No, I realized that I had to deal with and
Speaker 6: my kids are now mid twenties to early thirties. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I realized the hubris that comes with saying this is
Speaker 6: a harder time to be a parent.
Speaker 2: This is a harder time to be a parent than
Speaker 2: it was for previous generations. It's horrible.
Speaker 6: Yes, as somebody raised the just one more generation earlier,

Speaker 6: You have an account, you click click, they get a
Speaker 6: dollar your money, and then they can show you their
Speaker 6: blankety blank or whatever. And TikTok allegedly has filters for this,
Speaker 6: but they're super easy to get around. You use just
Speaker 6: use slang terms, including local slang terms. Because it's a
Speaker 6: global app, and so there's an enormous child porn market
Speaker 6: on TikTok. These underage girls from all over the world
Speaker 6: who will well, you know, perform various acts or show
Speaker 6: off or whatever, and and TikTok gets a cut of that.

Speaker 5: change is because I was in the radio and and
Speaker 5: we disc jockeys had to say, don't forget to change
Speaker 5: your clocks this weekend. And I always wondered, how do
Speaker 5: other people find out? I guess they listen to the radio.
Speaker 5: But anyway, telling you now, as we are in the
Speaker 5: radio business, there is a time change tomorrow night. Now
Speaker 5: in the modern world, because everybody uses their iPhone or whatever.
Speaker 5: Whether you remember or not or ever heard the word,
Speaker 5: you wake up in the morning and your clock will
Speaker 5: tell you what the real time is and you're fine.
