Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Jetty.
Speaker 2: And now he.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4: The final cause of the terrifying in flight blowout on
Speaker 4: a Boeing seven thirty seven MAX has now been determined
Speaker 4: by the National Transportation Safety Board. Investigators previously focused on
Speaker 4: the door plug, but now investigators say definitively that Boeing
Speaker 4: workers were inexperienced, calling their work unstructured and undocumented. Investigators
Speaker 4: say the plane was a ticking time bomb, the door
Speaker 4: plug making invisible movements over one hundred and fifty four
Speaker 4: flights who The NTSB is now laying out nineteen new
Speaker 4: safety recommendations. The NTSB also wants Boeing to redesign how
Speaker 4: the door plug attaches to the airplane so the same
Speaker 4: failure cannot happen again.
Speaker 5: Okay, so we all remember this story. Do I remember
Speaker 5: correctly that a door plug is the door It's just
Speaker 5: a term we don't normally use.
Speaker 6: No, it's.
Speaker 2: For a part of the airplane that can be a door,
Speaker 2: or in certain models, it can just be a window
Speaker 2: with a plug in it.
Speaker 3: Okay, as I recall.
Speaker 5: Anyway, that thing had been moving around on one hundred
Speaker 5: and fifty flights because it wasn't secured, and then it
Speaker 5: just finally blew out.
Speaker 2: That do they make nineteen new regulations? How about tighten
Speaker 2: the damn nuts attach?
Speaker 3: It seems like a good idea. Have it attached, you know,
Speaker 3: that's funny.
Speaker 2: The explanation of it was just inexperienced employees who did
Speaker 2: a poor job.
Speaker 3: That reminds me.
Speaker 2: I was just reading in the journal about the RV
Speaker 2: industry recreational vehicles called thank you Clark, and I had
Speaker 2: no idea this. There are really three big ones in
Speaker 2: the United States manufacturers. I believe all three of them
Speaker 2: pay their employees per unit made. It's a peace rate,
Speaker 2: as they say, and not an hourly rate. And as
Speaker 2: soon as you're done with your quota, you can go home.
Speaker 3: Well, that would invite shoddy workmanship.
Speaker 2: Blanking obviously, people rushing through, not giving a crap whatever
Speaker 2: it takes to get it done.
Speaker 6: Then I get to go fishing or drinking or whatever.
Speaker 3: There's an old joke.
Speaker 5: I don't know if people say it anymore, but back
Speaker 5: in the day I used to hear old men say
Speaker 5: about that one must have been built on a Friday,
Speaker 5: you know, if a car something broke on a car
Speaker 5: or whatever.
Speaker 6: That's a good old time, he's saying.
Speaker 5: And that actually would apply here Friday before fourth of
Speaker 5: July weekend. I got to believe those RVs were made
Speaker 5: rather rapidly to get out the door at noon so
Speaker 5: you could start your fishing.
Speaker 3: Trip or whatever.
Speaker 6: Yeah, wow, that's interesting. Yeah it is, Huh.
Speaker 2: I didn't think they made seven thirty seven's that way
Speaker 2: right anyway, So, speaking of technology a different sort than
Speaker 2: an AI story, I am completely convinced that mankind has
Speaker 2: invented its doom. I'm just there's nothing I can do
Speaker 2: about it, so I try not to worry about it.
Speaker 2: I hope my kids are smart and savvy enough to,
Speaker 2: you know, to have happy lives in spite of the coming.
Speaker 6: AI apocalypse.
Speaker 5: If nothing else, the biggest change in the shortest amount
Speaker 5: of time that's probably ever happened, which would be whip sawing,
Speaker 5: even if it turns out okay.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: Alicia Finley, who writes for the journal opinion page, who
Speaker 2: I think is just terrific one of my favorite writers,
Speaker 2: has a piece today.
Speaker 6: I think it is or recently.
Speaker 2: Analyzing what people are saying so far, including the CEO
Speaker 2: of Amazon about AI with that employee memo that he
Speaker 2: sent out, the key line of which was, we will
Speaker 2: need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are
Speaker 2: being done today and more people doing other types of jobs,
Speaker 2: and that the people who will keep their jobs are
Speaker 2: people who learn how to use AI effectively. And he
Speaker 2: explained that AI advances me and employees will do less
Speaker 2: rote work and more thinking strategically, which sounds really super great,
Speaker 2: and all this will require a higher level of cognition
Speaker 2: than does the rote work many white collar employees now do.
Speaker 2: But as AI is getting smarter, I'll start quoting Alicia. Now,
Speaker 2: younger college grads may be getting dumber. Like early versions
Speaker 2: of chat GBT, they can regurgitate information and ideas, but
Speaker 2: struggle to come up with novel insights or analyze issues
Speaker 2: from different directions. And then she goes in an interesting direction,
Speaker 2: and this is the fruit of the tree of nonlge stuff.
Speaker 2: We don't know what we're doing to ourselves, she mentions.
Speaker 2: The brain continues to develop and mature into one's mid twenties,
Speaker 2: some of us longer than that, but like a muscle.
Speaker 2: It needs to be exercise, stimulated, and challenged to grow stronger.
Speaker 2: Technology and especially AI, can stunt this development by doing
Speaker 2: the mental work that builds the brain's version of a
Speaker 2: computer cloud, a phenomenon called cognitive offloading.
Speaker 6: Cool. Yeah, yeah, cool, But.
Speaker 2: Growing research shows and I remember we talked about this
Speaker 2: a while ago. We had a debate about cursive cursive writing,
Speaker 2: which seems silly and unnecessary in handwriting in general. But
Speaker 2: then these studies have come out that show that handwriting
Speaker 2: engages parts of your brain that play a crucial role
Speaker 2: in learning and help children with word and letter recognition.
Speaker 2: But more than that, taking notes by hand also promotes
Speaker 2: memory development by forcing you to synthesize and prioritize information.
Speaker 2: When you plunk away on a keyboard. On the other hand,
Speaker 2: information can go as it were, in one ear and
Speaker 2: out the other. And then they study the electrical activity
Speaker 2: of university students during the activities of handwriting and typing,
Speaker 2: and the way their brains worked were very, very different.
Speaker 2: Now that's just kind of a side point to the
Speaker 2: greater point, which is the dopey grunt work that now
Speaker 2: the computers do, can do, or the AI can do,
Speaker 2: is the very dopey grunt work that give builds the
Speaker 2: neural muscles it takes to do the more advanced stuff.
Speaker 2: You can't skip to bench pressing two hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: pounds having not bench pressed one hundred pounds ever, neurologically speaking.
Speaker 5: That's really interesting. I was just thinking, in my own life,
Speaker 5: I do some I hate the term journaling. I don't know,
Speaker 5: it sounds so woosy. My son would say gay and
Speaker 5: so at all his high school friends, including gay ones.
Speaker 6: But funny, isn't it. Uh?
Speaker 5: But anyway, writing about things that are, you know, difficult
Speaker 5: to try to get.
Speaker 3: Them out or figure them out.
Speaker 5: But I do it a lot, typing into my notes
Speaker 5: and my phone, and you're you're saying that doesn't count,
Speaker 5: that that doesn't work right interest the same way I
Speaker 5: might be completely wasting my time.
Speaker 2: I hate handwriting. I did say I'm left handed, I
Speaker 2: have short fingers. I just the physical act of handwriting.
Speaker 6: I hate. It's just physically.
Speaker 3: That's funny.
Speaker 5: My my my son who's left handed, is that way.
Speaker 5: He just he just he almost says it hurts. It's
Speaker 5: just like he hat it's physically awful for him to
Speaker 5: do it.
Speaker 2: Does get kind of crampy because you're taught that your
Speaker 2: letters ought to have a certain slam slant. And if
Speaker 2: you're left handed you have to like form a hook
Speaker 2: with your hand and rights sideways.
Speaker 3: You're some sort of degenerates. We all know it.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 2: You know, if you don't know this, you should. The
Speaker 2: word sinister is Latin for left handed for good reason, right,
Speaker 2: and what's the equivalent right hand? And it's like noble
Speaker 2: or something. Yeah, anyway, that's why I'm a Satanist. Anyway,
Speaker 2: moving along, then you get well, I kind of made
Speaker 2: the point already. But if you don't do the stuff
Speaker 2: to work up to the advanced stuff, you'll never be
Speaker 2: able to do the advanced stuff.
Speaker 6: And college and.
Speaker 2: High school students are increasingly using large language models like
Speaker 2: chat GPT to write papers, perform mathematical proofs, and create
Speaker 2: computer code. That means they don't learn to think through,
Speaker 2: express or defend ideas. And Aha moments occur spontaneously within
Speaker 2: your brain with a sudden burst of high frequency electrical activity.
Speaker 2: When the brain connects seemingly unrelated concept, it finds the
Speaker 2: connections and sees patterns, and then it says, oh wow,
Speaker 2: and we're denying ourselves all of the grunt work to
Speaker 2: get there.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's interesting.
Speaker 5: I've had that happen with music before, with after years
Speaker 5: of doing well. It's like learning scales and then something
Speaker 5: else and then somehow it all comes together at one point. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it makes sense so that it can happen with this
Speaker 5: other stuff. But we're slipping the first part. We're skipping
Speaker 5: the scale right as a quick.
Speaker 2: Aside, and I realized this sounds kind of silly and
Speaker 2: makes it clear that I'm an old bastard at this point.
Speaker 2: But Judy and I are really into doing crossword puzzles.
Speaker 2: We do like the hard New York Times like Friday
Speaker 2: through Sunday crossword puzzles, and I will and we do
Speaker 2: them as a team, which is fun and brings us together.
Speaker 2: But I will be utterly stumped. Saturday's the hardest one.
Speaker 2: Sunday's kind of a mind blank because often there's a
Speaker 2: trick within the puzzle. But Saturday is really hard, and
Speaker 2: often I will be completely stumped, and I will go
Speaker 2: away for an hour or two hours. I will come
Speaker 2: back and I will crush it. Yeah, what happened there?
Speaker 2: That's worth thinking about.
Speaker 5: How I've been utilizing that my whole life, like writing
Speaker 5: papers for school. I always knew that if I thought
Speaker 5: about it, thought about it, thought about it, couldn't come
Speaker 5: up with it. If I slept, I'd wake up and
Speaker 5: I'd have it.
Speaker 3: I would have it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, and I what does happen?
Speaker 5: What does happen? I'm reading this book right now to
Speaker 5: Graham Green. He's a fantastic author. I've never written his stuff,
Speaker 5: but he's in this novel I'm reading right now. It's
Speaker 5: about an author, so he's talking about himself basically. But
Speaker 5: how writing is something that happens while you're not thinking
Speaker 5: about it. He says, you're gathering all this information, coming
Speaker 5: up with plot ideas, and then the writing happens when
Speaker 5: you're not thinking about it, and then it comes out
Speaker 5: on the page. So it's just exactly what you're describing.
Speaker 5: It's your brain is doing something while you're asleep or
Speaker 5: occupied doing something else, synthesizes it and then it comes out.
Speaker 2: Or and this is a bit of a quibble, and
Speaker 2: this is what I was about to say. I'm not
Speaker 2: going to lecture you, but I now discipline myself harshly
Speaker 2: using a lash to be bored a certain amount of
Speaker 2: the day to be doing nothing, reading nothing, looking at
Speaker 2: nothing but the trees and the sky and my dog
Speaker 2: peeing over there. I am committed to being not occupied
Speaker 2: a certain chunk of the day.
Speaker 5: So you're like Putty Elaine's boyfriend sitting on the plane
Speaker 5: just staring at the seatback.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm fine.
Speaker 3: Do you want something to read? No, I'm a right now.
Speaker 3: Anything crossword puzzle.
Speaker 6: I'm fine. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I sat next to a lady like that a few
Speaker 2: months ago. I think I talked about it on the air,
Speaker 2: and it was freaking me out. It was weird me out.
Speaker 2: I was like, is she going to take over the
Speaker 2: plane or kill me or explode into a rage or
Speaker 2: this is not natural catch on fire? But take time
Speaker 2: to daydreams. Seriously, Now we waxed so philosophical about that.
Speaker 6: I didn't get the story. Number two I really wanted.
Speaker 2: To as a football fan, AI is coming to the
Speaker 2: NFL and it could transform the game.
Speaker 5: Oh wow, I can't even imagine what b And I've
Speaker 5: got a personal story from chat GPT that has happened
Speaker 5: in the last couple hours that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 3: All on the way Trump met with Zelensky. By the way,
Speaker 3: one on one at the NATO summit.
Speaker 5: A news still coming out about that, and do Zelensky
Speaker 5: wore a suit so he wouldn't get yelled at.
Speaker 3: And uh, we'll see what comes out of that.
Speaker 5: We were just talking about a bunch of different things AI. Earlier,
Speaker 5: we were talking about the new Tesla robotaxis.
Speaker 3: One of them.
Speaker 5: Paused in an intersection in Austin or something like that
Speaker 5: and made some news.
Speaker 3: But I would see the automated.
Speaker 5: Driving on the Tesla, which kind of fits into the
Speaker 5: AI stuff, is so much better than it was three
Speaker 5: years ago when I first started writing Tesla. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's night and day and it's so good now. And
Speaker 5: I never thought I would have any interest in using
Speaker 5: automated driving, similar to the first time I ever saw
Speaker 5: somebody texting and learned about it, and I thought, why
Speaker 5: would anybody do that? And then obviously we all text consotly.
Speaker 5: Now I use automated driving all the time. When I
Speaker 5: drive my vehicle that doesn't have it, it seems like, oh,
Speaker 5: this is kind of a pain in the ass. So
Speaker 5: you're a convert, don't well, don't pretend you know what
Speaker 5: things you'll like, and you don't.
Speaker 3: I know, in my own life. I've been proven wrong
Speaker 3: multiple times.
Speaker 2: So the NFL is about to change thanks to AI,
Speaker 2: and they in the Athletic they're talking about how coaches
Speaker 2: are already using AI to analyze tendencies of opponents and
Speaker 2: that sort of thing. They use the example of there's
Speaker 2: a wide gulf between the math used to optimize fourth
Speaker 2: down decisions and a voiced AI agent telling you to
Speaker 2: look out for the weak side linebacker while you're sitting
Speaker 2: alone in your office.
Speaker 6: On a Tuesday night.
Speaker 2: This assistant coach who's the offensive coordinator for the Falcon says,
Speaker 2: I'm getting a little scared.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I could see where this would go very quickly,
Speaker 5: can't you. I mean, and there are I mean without
Speaker 5: even thinking of reading with this or thinking about it.
Speaker 5: I just AI could crunch the last five years of
Speaker 5: all the plays. Say, look eighty seven percent of the time,
Speaker 5: the other team is going to do this in this situation,
Speaker 5: and you react to it, and then that will be
Speaker 5: cool up until the point that it's just AI against AI.
Speaker 5: You know, a season from now, Uh, when.
Speaker 2: York computer telling you what play to run in their
Speaker 2: computer are telling them how to counter it and having
Speaker 2: a pretty good idea what's coming and that they're talking
Speaker 2: about coaches being replaced entirely, but teams already have. This
Speaker 2: guy was hired by the Raiders as the head coach
Speaker 2: research specialist, but the job may be better understood as
Speaker 2: AI coordinator.
Speaker 6: He uses AI every single day.
Speaker 5: He's clearly going to happen. Don't know why I hadn't
Speaker 5: thought about this before. This is clearly going to happen.
Speaker 5: You got super smart people who study like like maniacs
Speaker 5: for this stuff to make decisions in the like forty
Speaker 5: five seconds you have before between plays.
Speaker 3: Or whatever it is, and now AI is going to
Speaker 3: be able to do it.
Speaker 6: Let me read you some of this.
Speaker 2: I feel pretty confident saying that some team is going
Speaker 2: to win a Super Bowl in the next few years
Speaker 2: utilizing AI at a very high rate, significantly higher than
Speaker 2: it's ever been used before.
Speaker 6: Said this coach.
Speaker 2: It's really an opportunity to differentiate your differentiate yourself from
Speaker 2: a team that might have a more talented roster.
Speaker 6: Better coaches or whatnot.
Speaker 2: Ruin there's going to be more and more separation with
Speaker 2: teams that are have bought in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they might have to outlaw that. I mean, because
Speaker 5: it's similar to when computers got better at chess than
Speaker 5: humans and people thought that'd be the end of chess
Speaker 5: or whatever. No, people still like watching the best humans
Speaker 5: play each other, even though they're a computer out there
Speaker 5: could beat either one of them.
Speaker 3: Who cares.
Speaker 5: You still want to know the best human is. I
Speaker 5: think knowing who the best humans are at guests in
Speaker 5: the plays is more fun than two computers battling it.
Speaker 6: Out right, You're right.
Speaker 2: It'll be so interesting to see how the league and
Speaker 2: the rules adapt to this and how people will then cheat.
Speaker 2: Because they're talking about there are systems that can watch
Speaker 2: game film, sure of multiple teams, multiple games, and analyze
Speaker 2: it come up with the probabilities. The next layer, they say,
Speaker 2: is understanding personnel as well, because, as they put it,
Speaker 2: fourth and one with Mike Vick and Algae Crumpler looks
Speaker 2: a lot different than Fourth and one with Kirk Cousins
Speaker 2: and Kyle Bitts.
Speaker 5: And figure that, Hey, I will figure that out because
Speaker 5: they can take it into much information. Give it a week,
Speaker 5: they ai, Yeah, so, okay, well that is very interesting.
Speaker 5: That will ruin the sport for a season or two
Speaker 5: before they have to get rid of it. Wow, had
Speaker 5: never even thought of that, but that's clearly going to happen.
Speaker 6: Are getting weird, and they're getting weird fast.
Speaker 5: God, I would say, so any comment on that, give
Speaker 5: us a text or an emails.
Speaker 3: That's fascinating Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5: I don't know if Fordoh is obliterated, but the news
Speaker 5: cycle was obliterated by the attempt to obliterate fourdoh and
Speaker 5: that nothing else has been covered very much except for
Speaker 5: war with Iran and Trump truth and out a gazillion
Speaker 5: things a day. He truthed this out yesterday to my
Speaker 5: friends in the Senate. Locked yourself in a room if
Speaker 5: you must, do not go home for fourth of July.
Speaker 5: Get the job done. In all caps, mister Trump wrote
Speaker 5: on social media, work with the House so they can
Speaker 5: pick it up and pass it immediately. So I don't
Speaker 5: know if that will happen or where it's going, but
Speaker 5: he said, this.
Speaker 6: Is the big, beautiful, horrible abomination.
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't go home for fourth of July and get
Speaker 5: this done, so I'll see that happens. So he's at
Speaker 5: the NATO summit right now and doing all kinds of
Speaker 5: stuff and saying all kinds of interesting things, and they'll
Speaker 5: be news throughout the day on that he did meet
Speaker 5: with President Zalinski, both of them saying they had a
Speaker 5: long and substance of talk, although I don't you know,
Speaker 5: we don't know yet exactly what that was about. A
Speaker 5: Ukrainian reporter did ask Trump a question though.
Speaker 1: BBC News Ukrainian, where are you from?
Speaker 3: I'm from Ukraine.
Speaker 1: So my question to you is whether or not the
Speaker 1: US is ready to sell anti air missile systems Patriot
Speaker 1: to Ukraine. We know that Russia has been pound in
Speaker 1: Ukraine really heavily.
Speaker 3: Right now, are you living yourself now?
Speaker 1: And you my husband is there, wow, and.
Speaker 3: I can see you very you know, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: And me with the kids, I mean actually because he
Speaker 1: wanted me to be.
Speaker 3: Your husband the soldier. Now he's there now.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well that's rough self, right, that stuff, And you're
Speaker 7: living here and you're a reporter.
Speaker 3: I am good. So let me just tell you.
Speaker 7: They do want to have the anti missiles, okay, as
Speaker 7: they call them, the Patriots, and we're going to see
Speaker 7: if we could make some available.
Speaker 3: You know, very hard to get. We need them to.
Speaker 7: We were supplying him to Israel and the very effective,
Speaker 7: one hundred percent effective, hard to believe, how effective, and
Speaker 7: they do want that more than any other thing, as
Speaker 7: you probably know. That's a very good question, and I
Speaker 7: wish you a lot of luck. I mean, I can
Speaker 7: see it's very upsetting to you. So say hello to
Speaker 7: your husband. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 5: Interesting. So our producer Hanson's take on it was he
Speaker 5: feels like Trump is softening on Ukraine a little bit.
Speaker 5: Trump is over the years, does seem to be amazingly
Speaker 5: affected by moments with individuals who have certain stories where
Speaker 5: it like leaves a mark with.
Speaker 3: Him and maybe that will be one there.
Speaker 2: In a way that you wouldn't think it'd be necessary sometimes.
Speaker 2: But yeah, right. I really liked his response when Putin
Speaker 2: offered help with the mediating with around, and Trump said,
Speaker 2: I don't need help with around, I need help with you.
Speaker 5: Right, And if you're I can't imagine how you deal
Speaker 5: with life as president Zelenski. But all the attention the
Speaker 5: various missile attacks on Tel Aviv have gotten, for instance,
Speaker 5: when he is suffering many multiples of that every single day,
Speaker 5: a barrage of missiles and ballistic missiles and drone attacks
Speaker 5: and everything like that, and people dying and buildings being
Speaker 5: crushed and all that sort of stuff every single day,
Speaker 5: and when a fraction of that happens in Tel Aviv,
Speaker 5: it makes all kinds of news in the United States.
Speaker 5: It's got to be very frustrating to me, to him.
Speaker 2: Well, and to my mind, virtually every story about Ukraine
Speaker 2: ought to include Remember they gave up their nukes because
Speaker 2: we and other countries assured their security, right, And since then,
Speaker 2: it's worth mentioning they have gotten more and more friendly
Speaker 2: towards the West and a better and better ally for
Speaker 2: the future. So there's more reason now than there was
Speaker 2: at the time to say, yeah, we've got your back.
Speaker 2: So if you want to see a half century of
Speaker 2: utter horror and chaos convinced the world that the United
Speaker 2: States doesn't keep its promises.
Speaker 5: You like horror, do that. Here's a burbling scandal. No
Speaker 5: idea if it's sure or not. But somebody suggested that
Speaker 5: I read was Tulsey Gabbard locked out of many the
Speaker 5: discussions about the attack on our an, the person who
Speaker 5: leaked the assessment that not that much damage was done.
Speaker 2: Hmm. I'd heard a pushback that no, she was involved
Speaker 2: in a lot of good, a lot of big stuff.
Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, she wasn't in those initial meanings, in at least
Speaker 5: according to the report. No, No, I'm just saying heard pushback.
Speaker 5: But yeah, does she seem like the sort of person
Speaker 5: that would do that.
Speaker 3: Hell's yes.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know what her agenda would.
Speaker 5: Be, because what's gonna happen. If it turns out we
Speaker 5: didn't destroy that much of the nuclear facility, then we're
Speaker 5: gonna bomb it again, or or help Israel'll.
Speaker 6: Do it all right.
Speaker 2: Well, the motivation I can come up with is if
Speaker 2: indeed she is not only inexplicably soft on Russia but
Speaker 2: an actual isolationist, an actual Hey, divide up to the
Speaker 2: world into these spheres of influence and we'll just mind
Speaker 2: our business. You mind your business, then she'd be pretty
Speaker 2: hardcore against this strike against Iron and would want to
Speaker 2: leak that Hey, it wasn't very successful anyway.
Speaker 6: I'm not saying I think she did it. It's an
Speaker 6: intriguing thought.
Speaker 5: I didn't get to this breaking news, which I should
Speaker 5: have earlier. Israel Events officials assess major long term damage
Speaker 5: to a RAN's nuclear program. Israel officials confirm most enriched
Speaker 5: uranium is trapped following the massive US strikes inside the
Speaker 5: underground Isfahan facility and possibly Ford, Oh after entrances were destroyed.
Speaker 5: These sites are monitored for any extraction attempt. That'd be
Speaker 5: an attempt by the Uranians to get it out.
Speaker 6: I guess yeah, Western drone with their name on it.
Speaker 8: Ye.
Speaker 5: Western intelligence services are still assessing whether additional and enriched
Speaker 5: uranium exists beyond the known nine hundred pounds in and elsewhere.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's interesting. How exactly do you assess that? I
Speaker 2: don't know whether there's stuff elsewhere? You got, guys, or
Speaker 2: do a phone call around noon today from Muhammad, he's
Speaker 2: at the research lab.
Speaker 6: You let us know.
Speaker 5: Well, we were told by a number of people that
Speaker 5: Israel certainly has somebody like on the inside. Not only
Speaker 5: people on the ground that are Massad agents or whatever
Speaker 5: they are commandos, but somebody who's turned on the Iranian
Speaker 5: regime and is working with Israel. So who knows what
Speaker 5: they know about where the uranium is?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: You see where they hanged three guys, Yeah, in Aaran,
Speaker 2: tried them, convicted them, hang them quickly.
Speaker 6: That's an efficient system they got there.
Speaker 5: Yikes, to send the message, hey, don't don't be spying
Speaker 5: for Israel or this is what will.
Speaker 2: Happen, right, and those guys might have been shopkeepers. Sure,
Speaker 2: they just had to hang somebody to terrify everybody into compliance.
Speaker 6: Nikes, I'm glad you're an American.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I don't have any idea, but my guess
Speaker 5: would be Israel knows where that uranium is, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: or will soon, because they had people in there a
Speaker 5: month and a half before this.
Speaker 3: Is that what the reporting was putting this all together?
Speaker 6: The strikes? Yeah, I don't know, because they've had people
Speaker 6: for years and years.
Speaker 5: Well yeah, oh yeah, obviously, but particularly on the whole
Speaker 5: stop in the nuclear actor program and everything. So I
Speaker 5: got assume they'd been keeping an eye on I mean,
Speaker 5: if they had, if we got pictures of trucks at
Speaker 5: FOD oh before the bombings that everybody suspects you drove
Speaker 5: off with the uranium. I can't believe that Israel wasn't
Speaker 5: tracking that like as hard as.
Speaker 2: They could, right, sure, yeah, yeah, I wonder. So we
Speaker 2: haven't talked about what we want to do next segment.
Speaker 2: Wait a second, what is that I knew I wanted
Speaker 2: to get to that. Oh, I want to get to
Speaker 2: this real quick. This is the Free Beacon, the Washington
Speaker 2: Free Beacon does really good journalism. Their conservative They do
Speaker 2: not have Trump arrangement syndrome, and they are taking completely seriously.
Speaker 2: The gray House poll, that's a political analytics firm that's
Speaker 2: well known. I guess seventy six percent of Trump voters
Speaker 2: strongly support the attack, compared with fourteen percent who somewhat
Speaker 2: support it. Eighty four percent of respondents agreed that the
Speaker 2: strikes were limited military actions, not war. Eighty two percent
Speaker 2: called the attack a smarter, more limited operation that can
Speaker 2: achieve US objectives without leading to a wider war.
Speaker 6: Blah blah bah.
Speaker 2: I've seen that published in several The Free Press actually
Speaker 2: took that poll seriously. Then I've got the Yugov who
Speaker 2: did two polls within twenty four hours of the attack,
Speaker 2: and among Republicans sixty eight percent strongly or somewhat approved
Speaker 2: and thirteen didn't. But Democrats were seventy to sixteen against
Speaker 2: all Americans, it was forty six thirty five against.
Speaker 5: Only sixteen percent of Democrats were for this. So is
Speaker 5: that I don't want anything that makes Trump look good?
Speaker 3: Or do you are you okay with Iran getting a
Speaker 3: nuclear weapon? Which is it?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 2: What I say that number was Democrats seventy to sixteen.
Speaker 2: If it was Obama, it would be sixty three twenty
Speaker 2: in the other direction. So it's who's president, I think.
Speaker 3: So, I hope I don't look at the world that way.
Speaker 5: I don't think I do. I sure try not to
Speaker 5: of it mattering that much. Who's the president. It's either
Speaker 5: a good idea to bomb this country or not bomb
Speaker 5: this country, or to take out this leader or not
Speaker 5: take out that leader. I don't do it based on
Speaker 5: who's the president, or support it or not.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, I know, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: It's it would be terrifying to spend five minutes in
Speaker 2: somebody else's brain. Well, I talked about several times the
Speaker 2: Joe Scarborough's himself when MSNBC said, those of us on
Speaker 2: our network doing the touchdown dance around not destroying Porto
Speaker 2: what you're Also, he recognized on air that it is
Speaker 2: wide spread that people were super happy when they heard
Speaker 2: maybe the strikes were not successful.
Speaker 3: Yes, holy crap, How freaking deranged is that.
Speaker 5: You are a trader to your country or you're so
Speaker 5: deranged by your hate for Trump, you're like you can't
Speaker 5: see the forest for the trees that's maybe the first
Speaker 5: time I've ever used the expression.
Speaker 2: Actually, God to take away the vote. Can't have those
Speaker 2: people voting. They're too stupid.
Speaker 5: You want our enemy to get a nuclear weapon because
Speaker 5: that would make Trump look bad. Your nuts, your nuts,
Speaker 5: We will finish strong.
Speaker 9: Next the criminal case again, Sean Colmes is nearing an end,
Speaker 9: and the man who made a living with lyrics said
Speaker 9: nothing in his own defense? Is if your decision not
Speaker 9: to testify in this case, Judge run Supermanian asked, and
Speaker 9: Colmes responded, that is solely my decision. Defense attorneys called
Speaker 9: no witnesses and rested their case. Moments after prosecuting rested theirs.
Speaker 9: Jury deliberations could be get as soon as late Friday.
Speaker 2: Wow, you're a court watcher, I am legal correspondent Joe getting.
Speaker 5: What does calling no witnesses as a defense mean? Does
Speaker 5: that mean you really really think the other side didn't
Speaker 5: do their job, like you could only do harm by
Speaker 5: What does that mean?
Speaker 2: Or do you think it's soul man, I had a
Speaker 2: slow building sneeze going terrible timing.
Speaker 5: Or does it mean we're so screwed? This guy's so guilty,
Speaker 5: there's no point in even trying I'm sick of this.
Speaker 5: I don't even want to sit next to him anymore. Ay,
Speaker 5: who made his living writing lyrics, had nothing to say.
Speaker 5: What the hell was that?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It probably And please, if you're a defense attorney, knock
Speaker 2: us off an email as quick as you can mail
Speaker 2: bag at Armstrong and Giddy dot com.
Speaker 6: I suspect strongly it has to.
Speaker 3: Do with you.
Speaker 2: Don't love your witnesses, not one hundred percent certain they're
Speaker 2: going to convince the jury of what you think they're
Speaker 2: going to and you don't think the prosecution brought it home,
Speaker 2: so you thought, at this point the jurors are probably
Speaker 2: not going to go unanimous.
Speaker 6: To convict our fella. So let's just call it good.
Speaker 3: It's not money. Huh. Interesting?

Speaker 2: looking at email. I'll stop now.
Speaker 5: But okay, so you hmm, So it doesn't necessarily mean
Speaker 5: they're super confident. It might just mean that they got
Speaker 5: no good witnesses to bring.
Speaker 2: So well, yeah, they look at what they were gonna
Speaker 2: try to communicate and how they're gonna try to communicate
Speaker 2: it and figure out whether at this point that would
Speaker 2: be a better strategy than just letting the sleeping dog lie.
Speaker 2: And interesting, you got a couple of jerrors on your side.
Speaker 5: And they must have convinced their client, Diddy who's paying them,
Speaker 5: that this is a good idea, or he would have
Speaker 5: revolted right.
