I didn't get a cake for the 20 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: kids or anything. 21 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: Spherical Earth shaped cake. That'd be very cool, and you'd 22 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 3: have to hold it up on some sort of I 23 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 3: don't know, prop spindle perhaps, I don't know. 24 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: The Revolutionary Guard vowed today to deliver crushing blows beyond 25 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: the enemy's imagination. 26 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 3: So that's where that I can imagine. It's a pretty 27 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 3: crushing blows, so that'd be crazy, and it's beyond your imagination, 28 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 3: so super extra crushing. 29 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: Yeh, damn it. 30 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: I'll a tack to you and then you drop the 31 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: boulder on them or something. Oh my god, I can imagine. 32 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: Unthinkable. Meanwhile, the uh, the hammer blow that we were 33 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: going to administer has been held off again, having talks 34 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 3: to consider talks about having talks. 35 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: I uh, I don't know if I can keep talking 36 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: about this. 37 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 3: I just said what I said and I'll leave it there. 38 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 3: This is odd, very odd. The pakistanis asked Trump to 39 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 3: hold off, which we're still working. We're trying to get 40 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: like a coherent group of Iranians to negotiate with, and 41 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: it just let's give it a minute, huh. 42 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: And he said yeah, So I feel like it looks weak. 43 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: But Trump claims Pakistan contact him and said, look, they're 44 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: not sending anybody. We need more time to figure out 45 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: who's coming and if they're coming. And Trump said, okay, 46 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: we'll extend it, which. 47 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: Might be reasonable. 48 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 3: Or pending on what he knows about what's happening. Beyond 49 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 3: the scenes, true, and he had. I think it's back 50 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: to your frequently stated principle that there are things going 51 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: on we will not know about free years. Of course, 52 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 3: the idea that the cable news panels sitting around a 53 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: desk are working with all the information when they make 54 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: their strong statements is hilarious. 55 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: That's a silly conceit. 56 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: So we have no idea what's going on behind the scenes, 57 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: what the intelligence agencies are telling the president about the 58 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 2: state of Iran. He did truth out and we'll read 59 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: it later that they're weeks from collapse, which there are 60 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 2: news reports out there. And if that's the case, why 61 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: bomb all their infrastructure to dust? If they're weeks from collapse, 62 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 2: there's a legitimate question. 63 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: I think so, because we'll have to participate in the 64 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: rebuilding it enormous expense. 65 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: Yeah right, I think it makes a freaking angle. 66 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: I think it makes it more likely of some sort 67 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: of crazy civil war or something like that if you 68 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: have a society with no water and electricity and everything else. 69 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 70 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 3: The whole Trump pattern of constantly making threats than walking 71 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: them back, making promises than walking them back, giving time tables, 72 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 3: and ignoring his own timetables. It is frustrating and annoying, 73 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: and it does not look good at all. At the 74 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: same time, I could believe that it's almost like, you know, 75 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 3: you got to figure out who you're playing in the 76 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 3: next round of the playoffs. There's a play in game, 77 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 3: except in Iran, there's like a three or four team 78 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: play in tournament to figure out who you're even playing 79 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: with slash negotiating with. They've got to settle that before 80 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 3: we get onto the next step. But all that, oh 81 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 3: my gosh, chaotic ham. 82 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 2: We're sending another aircraft carrier which is going to be 83 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 2: there soon, which probably not doing that for. 84 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: No reason, I would think not. Who knows. 85 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: So Virginia voted to redistrict, so that's where we are now. 86 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: So we're pretty soon every state's. 87 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: Going to decide. 88 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: Well, I guess this is just what we do now, 89 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: and whichever party controls the legislature in that state, you 90 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 2: jerry manner out pretty much in the entirety of the opposition, 91 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 2: even if it's by California, is what a sixty forty 92 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: state seventy thirty I mean of your population, that's a 93 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 2: landslide win. If you're sixty forty sure, but that's millions 94 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 2: of people that deserve to have representation that aren't gonna 95 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: get it in California, aren't gonna get in Virginia, aren't 96 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,119 Speaker 2: gonna get it to the extent they should in Texas 97 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 2: because Republicans have done it too, and now and now 98 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: we've just decided to, uh that that's what we're gonna do. 99 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: Just to drive home the point. 100 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: In Virginia, which is a six to five state in 101 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 3: terms of voting, it is very very purple. It's currently 102 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 3: slightly more Democrat than Republican. Look at it as a 103 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 3: six to five state. It's now ten to one Democrat 104 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: district to Republican district based on barely fifty percent of 105 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 3: the citizens voting for that redistricting. It's it's an absolute horror. 106 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: It's a race to the bottom of Trump is at fault, 107 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: Texas is at fault. The Democrats are more than happy 108 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 3: to jump in on the you know, the hog trough 109 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 3: of Jerry Manderin, you know, just garbage assist. It's deeply discouraging. Sorry, 110 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 3: sorry to discourage you deeply friends. It's going to be 111 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 3: challenged in the courts in Virginia, I guess. 112 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: But can't. 113 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 2: Can't somebody at some point make an argument of taxation 114 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: without representation? 115 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: Gosh, i'd have to dig into that. Maybe, I don't know. 116 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: I've heard that berbal up in arguments before, but that 117 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 2: seems like that that's what's happening. 118 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: At some point. 119 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 3: You could absolutely make the case that they have been 120 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 3: deliberately denied that representation. I mean specifically they had the 121 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 3: representative taken away. You know, I once read a lot 122 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 3: about this and realized it's a little more complicated and 123 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 3: difficult than it seems. But the Supreme Court almost has 124 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 3: to come down with an eight hundred pound gorilla of 125 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 3: a ruling, or I don't know, order Congress at gunpoint. 126 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: Can they do that? 127 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 3: The Supreme Court, I don't know, to draw up an 128 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: ironclad statute, maybe even amend the constitution. 129 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: All right, here's how we draw districts. Period. 130 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 3: We are all juvenile delinquents who can't be trusted with 131 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 3: good things. 132 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: We can't run our own affairs. 133 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: We're two partisan and sell fish and unpatriotic these days, 134 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: something's got to be done or they just are completely ridiculous. 135 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: We are teenagers. The parents can't leave it home for enough. 136 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, as a people. That hasn't been the case, 137 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: but now we are that. Yeah, and it would be 138 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 3: pretty clear. 139 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: I would think just to you're drawing the lines for 140 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: a representatives has to match up with the demographics the end. 141 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: I realized there'd be more details than that, but it's 142 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: got to get close to that. And right now there's 143 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of states that aren't even within a 144 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: mile of. 145 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: That, right, And we can't let perfect be the enemy 146 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 3: of good enough. I think we need to start with 147 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: bedrock principles, like you're, you know, trying to lay out 148 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: two or three of them, just bedrock principles. Then if 149 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 3: we have to get a little more detailed because of 150 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: oh what about this, all right, great, we'll get a 151 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 3: little more detail, But by god, we've got to start 152 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 3: with those bedrock principles because. 153 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. At six to. 154 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: Five state becomes a ten to one state when barely 155 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 3: fifty percent of the population votes for the horrors of 156 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 3: it to come on, well. 157 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: That's what California is doing. It was already unfairly drawn, 158 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: and then they. 159 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: Decided to go further, take it to the extreme with 160 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 3: the excuse of but Trump, Yeah, right, A friend of 161 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 3: mine texts yesterday said this race to the bottom. 162 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: It was after Virginia the voting came in and it 163 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: was a close vote, but. 164 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: The race to the bottom, he said, the Democrats are 165 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: going to at the federal level, are going to end 166 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: the filibuster as soon as they get in charge. 167 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: For the Republicans might as well do it. 168 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 2: And I'm not in favor of participating in races to 169 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,359 Speaker 2: the bottom, but I understand. 170 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: I understand. 171 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, if he's right, I get the point.

I like you too, 337 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 2: but I still thought that was really funny. 338 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty. 339 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: It sounds like this US blockade is giving the US 340 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 2: tremendous leverage. 341 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 6: Right now, we're not hearing about this, but the economic 342 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 6: damage to Iran is four hundred and thirty five million 343 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 6: dollars a day, according to a American researcher in Miat 344 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 6: Nataki who's written about this in Foreign Affairs. 345 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: And this is something that we need to keep in mind. 346 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 6: As much as Iran has leverage over the Strait, it 347 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 6: is a self afflicted wound that is actually working against 348 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 6: Iran's own interests. 349 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 2: Appreciate that from CNN. That is an analyst from UCLA 350 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 2: saying basically what Trump truthed out today, that Iran is 351 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 2: losing a half a billion dollars a day by having 352 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 2: the straight closed, and that's putting a tremendous amount of 353 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 2: pressure on them. Again, that was on CNN, not Fox. 354 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 2: Here's another CNN Middle East expert. 355 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 7: I think this campaign was designed to have a lot 356 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 7: of off ramps on the part of the United States 357 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 7: so that Donald Trump can offer diplomacy and he can 358 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 7: also reclaim that leverage when he wants to. And I 359 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 7: think this pause is exactly that we are stacking our 360 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 7: leverage against Iran's regime right now, even though there is 361 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 7: a pause. Right now, we're out of the ceasefire, but 362 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,719 Speaker 7: now we've extended he said he wouldn't extend, but at 363 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 7: the same time, maritime pressure, sanctions remain. Our boot is 364 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 7: still on the neck of the Iran regime. They know 365 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 7: that our fingers on the trigger will we will start 366 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 7: the war again if we have to, and that has 367 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 7: been communicated well to them. 368 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: Now. 369 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 2: I picked on purpose some analysts yesterday that thought we're 370 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 2: in a decent position or good position right now, because 371 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 2: there are plenty of analysts that say the other, but 372 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 2: just because you don't hear a lot of the positive talk. 373 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 2: There was a couple on CNN yesterday that we are 374 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,959 Speaker 2: stacking up pressure on them. Iran's losing a ton of 375 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 2: money every single day. They can't do this forever, right. 376 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 3: I think it helps to view war not as the 377 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 3: alternative to diplomacy, but part of it. It's all negotiating. 378 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 3: It's all incentives and disincentives for various behaviors. And the 379 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 3: fact that the economic damage is being done behind the 380 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 3: scenes that you just refer to. That's like an enormous 381 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 3: pressure point. So can we hold off on bombs because 382 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 3: they certainly have negatives to them while that. 383 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: Pressure is being applied. Yeah, that makes sense. 384 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 2: And I like when Trump decides not to bomb the 385 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,479 Speaker 2: but Jesus out of the country, which the left hates. 386 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 2: They attack him for not following through on his promise 387 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 2: to bomb the but Jesus out. 388 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: Of the country. Exactly. 389 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, So David Ignatius in the Washington Post, I thought 390 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: this was an interesting phrase. That Donald Trump has decided 391 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 2: to treat his adversary as a real nation and find 392 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 2: out if it's ready. 393 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: To act like ones. So that's kind of interesting. 394 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 2: Can you guys actually show up with some sort of 395 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 2: delegation and negotiate or not. 396 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 3: The most interesting clip I think we've played this week, 397 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 3: and I've repeated it to a couple of friends who 398 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 3: found it interesting indeed, is the one where they're talking 399 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 3: about the Pakistani intermediate areas. We're spending as much time 400 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 3: trying to get the Iranian factions to come to an 401 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 3: agreement as they were to get Iran in the United 402 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 3: States to come to an agreement. I mean, that's really revealing. 403 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 2: Here's Mark Halprin's analysis based on all the other pieces 404 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 2: that are out there today from different people. American Optimists 405 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 2: believe that time now favors the US because Iran needs 406 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 2: to move oil to keep its infrastructure working and for 407 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 2: the revenue. As Trump truthed out today, cops aren't getting 408 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: paid and all kinds of things are going bad in 409 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: our right now, and that can only last so long, 410 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: right before cops decide I ain't going to work because 411 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: I ain't getting paid, and I don't have any reason 412 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 2: to think I'm ever gonna get paid or anybody. 413 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: Else who gets a paycheck. The Iranians are not acting 414 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: like they need the money. 415 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: Halper and rites, I believe now that the Iranians divided 416 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 2: are incapable of acting in a decisive manner. That's almost 417 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 2: the worst case scenario, because I don't know what happens. 418 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 2: Then if they're incapable of being a real country. If 419 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 2: Trump's going to treat them like a real country and 420 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: they can act like a real country, I don't know 421 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 2: what happens then, So that. 422 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 3: Should be really tough to deal with, right, Yeah, for 423 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 3: a variety of reasons. I mean, because bomb them back 424 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 3: to the Stone age in terms of their weapons capability. Okay, 425 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 3: that's good, But then the factions that remain will continue 426 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 3: to you know, hold the straight afoord, Moose hostage and 427 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 3: the rest of it. 428 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: That they're doing right now. 429 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 3: So yeah, that's a hornet's nest you can't quite kill. 430 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: The next meaningful step is likely one of three things. 431 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: I think this seems pretty obvious. 432 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 2: The resumption of peace talks in Islamabad a major put 433 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 2: this one. I hadn't thought of a major push by 434 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 2: the Chinese on Tearan to end the war, where China 435 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 2: really leans on the Iranian says okay. 436 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: It's over, you got to end this. 437 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got more information on China's involvement in this 438 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 3: and the effect it's having on them and others later on. 439 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: Or in a renewal of the attacks, which of course 440 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: is always on the table, and nobody hopes that that's 441 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 2: what's going to happen. 442 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 3: I would summarize what I've learned about China with this. 443 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 3: Any analysis of what's going on without a at least 444 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 3: tip of the cap to what about China is an 445 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 3: incomplete analysis because they absolutely are a player. 446 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: So this came out yesterday. 447 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 2: This is a reportant and Noah Rockman of the National 448 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 2: Review retweeted this. 449 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: He is super into. 450 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 2: This topic and would not retweet it if he didn't 451 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 2: think this was accurate. Approximate estimates of percentage of US 452 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 2: munitions expended in the Iran war so far fifty percent 453 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 2: of our THAD interceptors, fifty percent of our Patriot interceptors, 454 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 2: forty five percent of our precision strike missiles, thirty percent 455 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 2: of our Tomahawk missiles, twenty percent of our joint air 456 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 2: to surface standoff missiles, twenty percent of our SM three 457 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: and SM six, also those kind of missiles. The US 458 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 2: military has significantly depleted its stockpile of key missiles during 459 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 2: the war with Iran and created near term risk of 460 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 2: running out of ammunition in a future conflict. 461 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: Should want a rise in the next few years. 462 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 2: According to three experts and three people familiar with recent 463 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 2: internal Pentagon assessments. I'm not sure that's the sort of 464 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 2: thing that should be leaked out to our adversaries, but 465 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 2: somebody leaked it out. Maybe they laked it out because 466 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 2: they wanted political pressure to Hey, lou got to rebuild 467 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: their stockpile, right, Yeah, Yeah, both both sides are right 468 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: the whole. 469 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 3: Hey, we're running through a lot of this and we're 470 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 3: very very slow to replenish. Or that's true as part 471 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 3: of our post two or post Cold War, really fat 472 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 3: and lazy period. 473 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, we got armaments. What what are we going to 474 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: need them for? Yeah, that's over. 475 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 2: That is a that's pretty scary that we got half 476 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 2: of a lot of our important stuff if we were 477 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 2: to end up in a real war. 478 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 3: With somebody, especially given Iran's enthusiasm for and all the 479 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 3: developments in the Ukraine, for the whole flood the zone 480 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 3: with cheap drones and cheap armaments, the whole. I'm gonna 481 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 3: throw a five thousand dollar arma them in.

I asked him about it? I 657 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: missed that one. I asked him about a basketball game. 658 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 2: Says that game did not happen, and then I say, yes, 659 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 2: it did, it happened. 660 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: I watched it. Oh, you're right, my bad. Wasn't that 661 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: a great game? 662 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 3: No? 663 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no no no. 664 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 3: Actually, if we have time, I'll get to that in 665 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 3: a second. But Tommy from New Braunfels, Texas rights on 666 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 3: AI and universal high income, I think you're forgetting about 667 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 3: human nature. 668 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: Well, we never forget about human nature. But I'll read on. 669 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 3: You're thinking that all these people living on this high 670 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 3: basic income will be living in some modest government housing, 671 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 3: when in reality it will be some shole apartment in 672 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 3: another government project. They may be happy getting stoned all day, 673 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 3: but that won't last. When the people want more money 674 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 3: to go to work and buy more things and live 675 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 3: in a nice private home. That people on welfare will 676 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 3: get jealous and want what the workers are getting, than 677 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 3: vote to steal that from the workers. Is that starting 678 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 3: to sound familiar? Thank you for your attention to this matter, Tommy. 679 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if I. 680 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 2: Believe in the whole forcing the government to put guardrails 681 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 2: on this stuff thing or not. But if these masters 682 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 2: of the universe Altman and Elon and everybody are gonna 683 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 2: go around talking about this plan, I think we should 684 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 2: as a population force them to sit down at a 685 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 2: round table and explain exactly how this is gonna work. 686 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: Because there's a bunch of details missing. 687 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, like one of your Senate hearings that aren't a SoundBite, 688 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 3: you know, just to show boat fest. Yeah, a serious 689 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 3: discussion of it. I would love that. 690 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 2: There'll be an abundance of giant homes that doesn't make 691 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 2: any sense. 692 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 3: It really doesn't. Yeah, how's that gonna work. Let's get specific, 693 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 3: so g the engineer says, I want to Chaman on 694 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 3: something briefly AI related. There have been a number of 695 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 3: times on the show that Jack has complained about AI 696 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 3: being clueless, whether it was looking for Marty Supreme or 697 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 3: the basketball game. The reality is that this is not 698 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,439 Speaker 3: an issue or failing on the part of the AI. 699 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: It's actually part of its design. 700 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,439 Speaker 3: Keep in mind that today's AI is more specifically put 701 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 3: in LLLM or large language model. These models are trained 702 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 3: using large troves of textual data, be it written works, transcripts, 703 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 3: or what have you. All this information is commonly referred 704 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 3: to as training data. Now, to Jack's complain, the frustration 705 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 3: that he is feeling stems from what is known as 706 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 3: the knowledge cutoff. Basically, the LLLM is being asked about 707 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 3: specific subjects or events that are outside or simply post. 708 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 1: Date they're training data. 709 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 3: In other words, the LLLM doesn't know anything about Marty 710 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 3: Supreme because there was no data about the movie included 711 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 3: in its training data, or more simply, the movie came 712 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 3: out after the LM's knowledge cutoff. The same reason it 713 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,879 Speaker 3: doesn't know about last night's basketball game. 714 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 2: But so like reading James Joyce's Ulysses, I can hit 715 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 2: chat GPT with a sentence. I don't even need to 716 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 2: say what the book is from. I can say what 717 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 2: does this sentence mean, and it'll just jump in and 718 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 2: say that's from James Joyce, page blah blah, blah blah blah, 719 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:10,760 Speaker 2: and I'm. 720 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: In an instant and I'm like, how in the hell 721 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: did you figure that out? But then you don't know 722 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 1: the basketball games? I don't. 723 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 3: I don't, Well because of what she just explained. Yeah, 724 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 3: I still think it's limited. 725 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:25,439 Speaker 1: We google it, have a way to google it. Yeah. 726 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 3: He points out some llms have more access to the 727 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 3: web than others, which is interesting. 728 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: Maybe we can discuss that later on Armstrong and Getty
