1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong. 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 2: And Jetty and now he Armstrong and Eddy. 4 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 3: Florida police have arrested a woman on charges that she 5 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 3: left her twelve year old daughter at Universal CityWalk while 6 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 3: she went to a bar. So apparently it's a crime 7 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 3: to find that kid a father. 8 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: Wow, that's funny. It's dark, dark imagery. 9 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: So I'm looking and I'm scanning my selection of AI 10 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: oriented articles and it is so interesting, and there's so 11 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: many of them. From the first one we're going to feature, 12 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: which is provocatively entitled open AI's bid to allow X 13 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: rated Talk, is freaking out its own advisors to stories 14 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 1: about the data so far in terms of job displacement 15 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 1: and income displacement, that sort of thing. AI is making 16 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: some people obsolete and others much more valuable, which is 17 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: the classic new technology model. 18 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 2: For the way it affects economies. 19 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: But that deserves its own full blown discussion, So maybe 20 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: we'll hold off on that aspect. 21 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: Before we get to that. 22 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: Somebody brought up to me yesterday and I'd never used 23 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: AI for this before, partially because I don't really have 24 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: a need, but I guess if you want to. You know, 25 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: it's a common thing to like google somebody's name just 26 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: to like learn as much as you can about them 27 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: for whatever reason you're hiring them for a babysitter or 28 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: going to date them or whatever it is. 29 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: I'd never done that. I guess AI is really good 30 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: at that. 31 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: You pick one of your chatbots and just say, tell 32 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: me everything you can find about this person, and you 33 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: get pictures and you know, Reddit posts and just I mean, 34 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: it really really is good at bringing up everything that's 35 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: out there about a person. I've never thought about that, obviously. 36 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: It's true. I don't really have a need to do 37 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: that on a regular basis, but yipes, that's that's something 38 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: got to do yourself, right, I suppose I should. The 39 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: Internet knows everything about everybody. It's ridiculous. 40 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 41 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, So first sex and then why Apple sucks at AI? 42 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: According to one learned commentator, and I've reached out more 43 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: than once to ask just anybody at Apple what's going 44 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: on with that? Drop us a note and just they're 45 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: very tight linped anyway, open AI's bid to allow x 46 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: rayed talk is freaking out its own advisors in January 47 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: see open AI. That's your Sam Altman chatch EPT company, 48 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: and also much more advanced stuff. They have a council 49 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: of advisors on well being and AI. I might call 50 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: the group the Council on not turning this into a 51 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: monster that ruins humanity. But they met with the company's 52 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: representatives for an update about the controversial new feature called 53 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: adult Mode. Sam Altman said, when was this last year? 54 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 1: I guess we need to treat adult users like adults, 55 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: and he floated the idea of enabling Eurotic conversations and 56 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: its chat GPT chatbot and dropping its ban on X 57 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: rated content. The plan sparked vigorous debate internally over the 58 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: potential risks. Council members with backgrounds and feels like psychology 59 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: and cognitive neuroscience had also expressed strong reservations. Then openay 60 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: high dropped to bombshell. And here is the key sentence. 61 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: They assemble now this board of learned professionals and people 62 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: who understand the human mind, the human psyche, and despite 63 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: their concerns, it was forging ahead with its erotica plans. 64 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: In other words, go to hell. Now there's a lot 65 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: of profit here. 66 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: Yes, you're all howling your worries at us, but thank 67 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: you for coming. There's a gift bag by the door, 68 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: grab one on your way out. Can I have an 69 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: adult mode that doesn't include erotica? I mean and just 70 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: like you know, grown up versions of news stories or 71 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: things that are happening in the world that I can 72 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: handle as a grown up. But it doesn't have to 73 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: be sex right right. When they assembled for the January meeting, 74 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: the council members were unanimous and furious. They warned that 75 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: AI powered erotica could foster unhealthy emotional dependence on chat 76 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: GPT for users, that miners could find ways to access 77 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 1: sex chats, according to people at the meeting. The people 78 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: said the one council members, citing cases where chat gpt 79 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: have taken their own lives. I'm sorry, chat GPT users 80 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: have taken their own lives. Blah blah blah, claimed that 81 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: open ai risked creating a quote sexy suicide coach. Oh 82 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: my god, a sexy suicide coach for your lonely disturbed 83 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: teen boy. Fantastic quart girl, yeah yeah, yeah, oh boy. 84 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: In proposing to allow sexually explicit conversations with its popular chatbot, 85 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: Open AI exposed fractors over how to balance rapid user 86 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: growth and digital freedom with safety and child protection. 87 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. Let's see, there's one more part. 88 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: This reminds me as a Futurama clip we played a 89 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: week or two ago from that cartoon I Date Robot, 90 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: which was dead on about you know, young men particularly 91 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: never leaving their room in the future because of the 92 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: sexy robot companions. Good lord, okay here it is. One 93 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: issue of the company is tracking its new age prediction system, 94 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: aimed at keeping miners away, at one point, misclassified miners 95 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: as adults about twelve percent of the time. That err 96 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: rate could allow millions of the companies approximately one hundred 97 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: million eighteen under eighteen users a week into erotic chats. 98 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: The company is also rested with how to lift chat 99 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: GPTSS restrictions on erotica while still blocking scenarios the company 100 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: wants to keep off limits, like those featuring non consensual 101 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: behavior or child sexual abuse. 102 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: When the adult mode launches. 103 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: Open AI plans to allow text conversations but restrict chat 104 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: GPT's ability to generate erotic images, voice or video that 105 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: will not last for a second. 106 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: If there's profit in allowing it. 107 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: Wow, so at least at the beginning, they're only talking 108 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: about sexy texting no voice. But over on which one 109 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: is it that's got the grock? Over on Grock, you 110 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: can do the animated bot that'll talk is sexy to 111 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: you as you want, and it's weird. 112 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 4: Dult, dage robotis I agree? 113 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 2: I agree. We had to run that whole thing again. 114 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: It was so great and funny, all right, and then 115 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: that will soon be incorporated into a sex bot that 116 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: you will have in your home, so God help us home. 117 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: And finally, my second favorite sentence, Uh, there it is. 118 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 2: I lost it again. Oh that's so good. Hang on 119 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: now I know it's there on the screen. Oh. 120 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: An open ai spokeswoman described its plans as allowing chat 121 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: ept to generate textual chats with adult themes, describing it 122 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: as smut rather than pornography. Okay, oh okay, what so 123 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: it's interesting that Grok has the sexy cartoon character that 124 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: will talk dirty to you in her voice, but open 125 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: ai sees that as going too far, at least for now, 126 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: like you said, until there's profit in it. 127 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, oh boy, We're off the rounds. 128 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: And then this uh Mike from uh I won't tell 129 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: you where he's from, somewhere in America. He works in 130 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: the tech industry at a data center, a big one. 131 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: He says, I know firsthand why Apple's behind, and why 132 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: Syria and their AI or so far behind. I've watched 133 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: firsthand as the big players any names, the biggies are 134 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: racing to build in for structure faster than their competitors. 135 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: I'm watching hundreds of server racks priced at a million 136 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: and a half dollars apiece get delivered to data centers daily, 137 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: so that's hundreds of millions of dollars every day. Look 138 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: in the news, you see these big companies signing agreements 139 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: with Nvidia and AMD so they can get their chips 140 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: ahead of everyone else. But who do you not see 141 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: in the news building out more data centers and buying 142 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: up more equipment. 143 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: Apple. 144 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: I figured out why a couple of years ago. Tim 145 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: Cook is a cheap ass. He's not spending the money 146 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: on AI infrastructure. He's trying to make their phones do 147 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: the work and as good as the iPhone is not 148 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: going to compete with thousands of supercomputers, which is why 149 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: they're buying Google services going forward. But I guarantee I'm 150 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: not the only one that turns off Syrian Apple AI completely. 151 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: The only reason I stay is because their iOS is 152 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: better than Android, but even that is diminishing as Apple 153 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: eliminates major features with every update. Here's his main point, 154 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: I'll never forget. Early in my career, my company was 155 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: changing CEOs from a flashy, outgoing type of person to 156 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: a boring accountant slash numbers guy. Somebody I respect said 157 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: boards love boring CEOs. 158 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: That wisdom is stuck with me. Boards loved Tim Cooks. 159 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: They're predictable, but the Tim Cooks of the world don't 160 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: know how to innovate. They only know how to milk 161 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: ip for every penny it's worth. I called this a 162 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and it's only more clear as 163 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: Tim Cook looks to exit Apple. His period of time 164 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: at the helm of Apple, who will be studied at 165 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,599 Speaker 1: the university level is one of the greatest examples of 166 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: a company at the top of its game disappearing overnight. 167 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: What because they couldn't take the risks to stay ahead 168 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: of their competitors. Oh, when is it disappearing? I've got 169 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: some Apple stock I might want to well in this 170 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: era of enormous and rapid change. It's not impossible, he says. 171 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: At this point, how is Apple going to catch up? Well, 172 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: they're going to hire Google, but they're years behind in 173 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,599 Speaker 1: the arms race, and it is an arms race. The 174 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: chip makers are years out on their production contracts. Apple 175 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: hasn't made a new thing or had an innovative idea 176 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: in ten years. They're about to fall off a cliff. 177 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: Mark my words, that's interesting. Consider them, marked. 178 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: God, what would uh, what would Steve Jobs be doing 179 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: with the whole AI thing? 180 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: You'd be doing something. I guarantee you that, I think 181 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 2: you're absolutely right. 182 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, or any of you all familiar with more 183 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: examples like that from the World to business, where the 184 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: innovative guy gives way to the being counter CEO and 185 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: everything stagnates a mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. 186 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 2: Boy, it's so easy to picture how that would happen. 187 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: Though, once you once you uh, the the innovative creative, 188 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: you know, let's try this. Let's try that guy builds 189 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: a multi gazillion dollar company and there's all kinds of profit. 190 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 2: To be made. 191 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: Next stop, hold on to it as tight as you 192 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: can and don't risk anything yeah. I can picture of 193 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: the board saying we got twenty three percent margins here. 194 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: That's not mess with anything. Yeah, No, don't experiment, don't innovate, 195 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: got a new idea for a No, shut up, we 196 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: don't want any more new ideas. 197 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: What if it doesn't work right? Yeah? 198 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: Huh human beings? That is really interesting. Yeah, I gotta 199 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: think about that one. 200 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 2: I didn't know that. So with each update you lose 201 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 2: features is that I don't quite understand what that is. 202 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: So every time they put out a new big iOS update, 203 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: they're taking some stuff away. 204 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: And why I don't know. 205 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about that. I have to look 206 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: into it. But things are moving so fast. A name 207 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: I've never heard in my life could be the dominant 208 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: AI player two years from now, and the dinosaurs like Apple. 209 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: Are left behind or Google. 210 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: Maybe certainly in the realm of hardware, because it's gonna 211 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: be the software that drives your decision what device to 212 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: get soon. I mean it already is in a way, 213 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: but it's going to be even more true. Maybe next 214 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: hour we can get into the winners and losers. So 215 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: far in the AI replacing Human Beings game, I found 216 00:11:58,800 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: it really interesting. 217 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 2: I hope you will too. 218 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: So Iran is attacking its neighbors still, we're attacking the. 219 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: Hell out of strategy. 220 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: We're attacking the hell out of Iran as we speak. 221 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: And it's all about they're trying to keep the straight 222 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: of horror moves closed. We're trying to get it open. 223 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: We'll have more on that a little bit later. And 224 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: the price of gas is something right now, all on 225 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: the way. 226 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 2: Armstrong. 227 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 4: Yet there's a bunch of crowd noise. 228 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if I told you anyday. 229 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: That was the final pitch as the United States won 230 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: in the World Baseball Classic yesterday and move into the finals. 231 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: That last pitch was a horrible call, and that had 232 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: everybody very very upset. I wasn't watching the game, but 233 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: the announcers were like ooh, And then afterwards in all 234 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: the postgame it was ooh, that wasn't even close. And 235 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: then they used all the base the technology that they 236 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: have to look at that ball's not even close. So 237 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: United States getting a favorable call to move into the 238 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: next round, which is probably what they wanted if you 239 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: want eyeballs. Came to conspiracy theories again. I'm working with 240 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: QAnon over here here's a great go ahead. I was 241 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: gonna say, if we're gonna play what we're gonna play, 242 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: we probably. 243 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 2: Gotta get to it because the time is tight. So 244 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 2: here's a great tease for you. Coming up. 245 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: Trump has been briefed that Iran's new Supreme leader is 246 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: probably gay, and the President has a priceless reaction. So 247 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: that coming up, as you can possibly imagine, So we 248 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: were talking a little. 249 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 2: Bit of weird. Beard has a beard. 250 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: So we're talking a little bit ago about the new 251 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: sex bots and technology for porn and AI chatbots and 252 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: this thing from Futurama, which is a cartoon that was 253 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: on twenty five years ago. They predicted what life is 254 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,359 Speaker 1: going to be like when we get this technology. 255 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 5: Ordinary human dating, it's enjoyable and it serves an important purpose. 256 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 5: But when a human dates an artificial mate, there is 257 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 5: no purpose, only enjoyment, and that leads to tragedy. 258 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 4: Su Nito a Marilyn monrobot. 259 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: You're a real dream book, Billy, Everything harmless fun. 260 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 4: Let's see what happens next. Billy, do you want to 261 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 4: walk your dog? 262 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 3: No? 263 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 2: Thanks, Mom, I'd rather make out with my monrobot. Billy, 264 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: do you want to get a paper out and earn 265 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: some extra cash. 266 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 4: No, thanks, Dad, I'd rather make out with my monrobot Billy. 267 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 4: Do you want to come over tonight? 268 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 6: We can make out together. 269 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 2: Gee, Davis, your house is across that's the street. That's 270 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: an awfully long way to go for making out. 271 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 5: Did you notice what went wrong in that scene? Ordinarily, 272 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 5: Billy would work hard to make money with his paper route. 273 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 5: Then he'd use the money to buy dinner for Mavis, 274 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 5: thus earning a slim chance to perform the reproductive act. 275 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: How amazing is that? Okay, and it goes on. 276 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 5: But in a world where teens can date robots, why 277 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 5: should he bother? Why should anyone bother? Let's take a 278 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 5: look at Billy's planet a year later. Where are all 279 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 5: the football stars and where are the biochemists? They're trapped, 280 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 5: trapped in the soft vice like grip of robot lips. 281 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 5: All civilization was just an effort to impress the opposite sex, 282 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 5: and sometimes the same sex. Now let's skip forward eighty 283 00:15:53,040 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 5: years into the future. Where's Billy whoa? The next day, 284 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 5: Billy's planet was destroyed by aliens. Have you guessed the 285 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 5: name of Billy's planet? It was hers dage robots brought 286 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 5: to you by. 287 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: So a slim chance at the reproductive act. Yep, that 288 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: is so clearly true. Oh yeah, all those mouth sounds 289 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: are a lot. 290 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't. I didn't need that. 291 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: Look, my misphonia, that's the idea is not enjoying that part. 292 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: But it was, so do you want to want do 293 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: you want a paper route? 294 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 4: Do you want to make out? 295 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 2: Oh? Gee, you're clear across the street. I think I'll 296 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 2: just stay here. 297 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's hilarious, but it's it's being re enacted. 298 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, over and over again. 299 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: And that's just kind of with the physical stuff the 300 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: psychological part that AI is going to get in terms 301 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: of appealing to your ego or whatever to keep you entrapped. 302 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: Oh my god, we're doomed. Doom don't date robots. We've 303 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: got a lot more on the ways there, Armstrong and Getty. 304 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 7: Trump told me in a phone interview Saturday that Iran 305 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 7: has been defeated militarily. He also said Tehran is ready 306 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 7: to make a deal, but the terms aren't good enough yet, 307 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 7: declining to say. 308 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 4: What those terms are. 309 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 7: The President added that he is hearing the new Supreme 310 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 7: Leader is dead, but did not provide evidence. 311 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. So coming up have some info from 312 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: an expert security expert on how difficult it's going to 313 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: be to keep Weird Beard Junior alive in the modern world. 314 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: I've been reading about that. Yeah, super fascinating. And then 315 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: you've got the Benjamin netanyahuo over the weekend. So apparently 316 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: the internet exploded with the rumor that he had been 317 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: killed in one of the strikes. And then so he 318 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: shows up in a coffee shop ordering coffee, surrounded by 319 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: people in public and says, yeah, what people said, I'm what. 320 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: Which is the way you react when the world says 321 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: you're dead. You have to make a very public show 322 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: of the fact that you're not. See President Zelenski the 323 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: night after the initial bombing, when he's out in the street, 324 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: puts out a video and say I'm still here. You 325 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: gotta do that. The leader of Iran has not at all, 326 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: So who knows. Maybe it's because he's gay, according to 327 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: some reports. Now I know actual gay people and like 328 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: hiding isn't part of their act. 329 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: But anyway, back to you. 330 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 1: Trump was briefed over the weekend that Iran's new supreme 331 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: leader is probably gay and the President had a priceless reaction, 332 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: says The New York Post. His reaction was he threw 333 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: back his head with laughter. Apparently, according to people who 334 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: are familiar with the meeting, Trump couldn't contain his surprise 335 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: and laughed aloud and briefed on the intel. According to sources, 336 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: others in the room also found it hilarious and joined 337 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: in the president's reaction, while one senior intelligence official has 338 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: not stopped laughing about it for days. 339 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 2: Wow, I don't know if it's wow tickled his funny bob. 340 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 2: Although you know, you got a country that's. 341 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: Being run by extremists to murder gay people, and it 342 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: forced them to undergo surgeries. Yes, the guy that the 343 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: news the fact that the new Supreme leader might be 344 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: gay is something the shot. I don't want to steal 345 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: anybody's thunder. Did they get into the impotence thing. No, 346 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: but I'm sure that fits in someway. He doesn't have 347 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: a physical problem. He feels about having sex with a 348 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: woman the way I'd feel about having. 349 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 2: Sex with a dude.

That would be also. 352 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: The shocking claim was described to The New York Post 353 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: by two intelligence community officials and a third person close 354 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: to the White House. That's making quite a claim. The 355 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: New York Post does not make stuff like that up up. 356 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: All three sources say the implausible sounding allegation is viewed 357 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: as credible by US spy agencies rather than false information 358 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: intended to undermine him, because this is classic psyops. He 359 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: got a country with their culture and government and the 360 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: people who surround the guy to say, yeah, our intelligence 361 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: says he's gay, and then you hope the Iranian Revolutionary 362 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: Guard or somebody turns on him based on this information. 363 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: So it still could be that going on. 364 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: Two of the sources said the intelligence indicated that Weirdbird 365 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: Junior earned the nickname the Power behind the Robes while 366 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: serving as his aging dad's gatekeeper, had had a long 367 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor. The third source 368 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: said the intelligence indicated that the affair was a person 369 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: who formerly worked for the family. We believe that he 370 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: was wounded and maya lost a leg and could be 371 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: in bad shape. 372 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah. 373 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: US spy agencies do not have photographic evidence of him 374 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: being gay, but the sources insisted the tip is solid, 375 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: with one saying it's derived from one of the most 376 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: protected sources that the government has, which is probably we 377 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: got somebody close right, probably that hell yeah, oh there. 378 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: The Iranian regime is riddled with spies. 379 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 380 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: The fact that this was elevated to the highest levels 381 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: of the president shows that there's a lot of confidence 382 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: in this. The purported sexual orientation had been whispered about 383 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: inside Iran since at least May of twenty twenty four 384 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: and the helicopter crash that killed the then president who 385 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 1: was supposed to be in line to be the next 386 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: Supreme leader.

Terrorists are now often made 472 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: in the USA. Western counter terrorism operated for decades on 473 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: a simple premise threats came from somewhere else, they crossed borders, 474 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: but now they are among us. Gee, what's changed? So 475 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that analysis coming up. Also a little 476 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: campus madness next hour. That whole homegrown terrorist thing is 477 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: obviously highlight troubling. Well, we've allowed millions of people to 478 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: come into the country willy nilly from all sorts of lands, 479 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: including where they love Allah more than life, and the 480 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: coverage of that over the weekend continued to be very 481 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: disappointing as they ignore what is actually going on. But 482 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: since it came up, let me mention this real quick. 483 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: So this guy who's an expert in this, was talking 484 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: about how difficult it's going to be for the perhaps gay, 485 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: weird Beard Junior to stay alive. 486 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 2: This is what he tweeted out. 487 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: There's emerging conventionalism that Trump has bitten off more than 488 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: he can chew through his calls for unconditional surrender. Blah blah, 489 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: blah blah. The case for skepticism is reinforced by the 490 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: way to history. It's really hard to do regime change 491 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: through the air, but there's certainly this angle to it, 492 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: the fact that the military has the technological capacity to 493 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: find targets and kill them. That is light years of 494 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: light years ahead of where we even were ten years ago, 495 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: which is pretty interesting to think about. We're light years 496 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: ahead of where we were a decade ago in terms 497 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: of this technology, and the Israelis are similarly equipped. If 498 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: I were advising the newly appointed Supreme Leader, I'd suggest 499 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: that you avoid texting in the coming days, or really 500 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: any kind of personal tech tablets, laptops and so on. 501 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: Also using the refrigerator, keep an eye out for smart features. 502 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: Riding in a car, any car manufactured in the last 503 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: fifteen years very risky, especially in the vicinity of any 504 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: traffic cameras, or going outside at all, or being inside. 505 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: Really if the presence of anything that collects data is 506 00:27:59,080 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: around him. 507 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 2: Every exposure you're a smart TV, every. 508 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: Exposure to one of these anything that has sensors that 509 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: now saturate our world adds to the chances that his 510 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: specific location at any given time will be known to 511 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: Israeli or American targets and we can hit him full on. 512 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: Paranoia has never been more justified than for a RAN's 513 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: new hardline top man. I like got to fall back 514 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: to watching his VHS collection as a queer eye for 515 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: the strap. 516 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: VHS tapes. 517 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: All right, now, where hose puppies out, I like that, 518 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: do not go outside or stay inside. Don't use the 519 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: fridge if it's a smart fridge, right or any car 520 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: in the last fifteen years. Yeah, so maybe we will 521 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: blow his beard off one of these days. Okay, we 522 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: got more on the way. 523 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 2: Stay here, Art Strong at. 524 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 6: The guy who is accused of driving his vehicle through 525 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 6: that synagogue, which is also a school. Children were there. 526 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 6: There were one hundred and forty children and teachers who 527 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 6: were not injured. Now there are ties to what's happening 528 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 6: in Lebanon. We were wondering. We heard he lost his 529 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 6: niece and his nephew in Lebanon, and we were wondering, 530 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 6: is that why he did this? Well, now it's being 531 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 6: confirmed he lost his brother, who's a commander over there, 532 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 6: he lost another brother, he lost his niece and his 533 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 6: nephew on March fifth, and then he goes and does 534 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 6: this last Thursday. 535 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: All right, that was an unnecessarily rambling and ainsleish eclip 536 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: from Fox and Fiends. But yeah, the man who drove 537 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: into the Michigan synagogue intent on murdering as many little 538 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: Jewish kids as he possibly could is the brother of 539 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: a Hesbela command Well, it's being presented as his family 540 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: members died at the hands of the Israelis, so you 541 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: can understand why he'd be distraught enough to murder four 542 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: year olds. 543 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,479 Speaker 2: Which is kind of a weird way to look at 544 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 2: the world. 545 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: But the fact that his brother is a commander in Hesbla, 546 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: he might have had other reasons to want to kill Jews. 547 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, as a commander in the Iranian backed and 548 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: financed proxy militia that's seeking to wipe Jews off the map. Yes, 549 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: I think he came into the game with a bit 550 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: of a bias. The fact that we don't have a 551 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: handle on guys who are brothers of Hesbola commanders is 552 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: a failing of our intelligence. You'd think you might want 553 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: to know that. And again, this analysis in the Wall 554 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: Street Journal. You know it's informative enough, but it strikes 555 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: me as naive as people are just catching up. But 556 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: I'll read part of it for you then we can discuss. 557 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: But Western counter terrorism operating for decades on a simple 558 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,479 Speaker 1: premise threats came from somewhere else. They crossed borders, they 559 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: arrived with suspicious travel documents, fraudulent documents, histories are known, 560 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: affiliations stop them there, and the interior remain secure. That 561 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: premise is no longer holding. The days since the Iran 562 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: war began have seeing at least four apparent terrorist attacks 563 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: in the US, two of them on Thursday, and all 564 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: of them either by immigrants to our land who are 565 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: here legally or in the case of the UH would 566 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: be fire bombing near Gracie Mansion CNN, not of Mumdani 567 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: on behalf of Mumdani. Anyway, those guys were sons of immigrants. 568 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: Then there were the violence that unsettled Western societies throughout 569 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Looked nothing like earlier eras of clandestine 570 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: crossings and centrally directed terrorist cells. Increasingly, the danger emerges 571 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: inside societies that still treat admission as the end of 572 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: the security process. 573 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 2: Rather than the beginning of one. 574 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: Shift isn't simply about the number of taxes where the 575 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: failure occurs. So they're very, very beautifully written in a 576 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: tad wordy saying, yeah, yeah, there are a lot of 577 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: people Muslims specifically, who came into the country legally and 578 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: the process said, yes, they should be allowed to come in, 579 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: or Joe Biden just let them stream across the border. 580 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: But now that they're they're like, yeah, I'm on the 581 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: side of the Muslim fanatics, not the US, and that's 582 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: the new terrorism. 583 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, we know. 584 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: They take the point that some of it's driven by 585 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: like personal grievances and just being a loser, but that's 586 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,959 Speaker 1: been true throughout human history. Yeah, uh, you're right. I 587 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: hadn't thought about that. You would think we would have, 588 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: although maybe they he was on a watch list. This guy, 589 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: he was on some watch list, even if we're aware 590 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: of the fact that his brother's has been a commander. 591 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: What are you gonna do. 592 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 2: He's a former Army National Guard guy, right. 593 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, but well he tried to join the Guard but 594 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: then didn't end up serving. I think, Oh so I 595 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: wondered if maybe that was one of those infiltrate the 596 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: you know, the guard and then fire on your own 597 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: people thing that has been so popular around the world. 598 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: I don't know that, but that might have been his 599 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: plan at the time. 600 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 601 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: See, they share several threads. Presence, few warning signals, online radicalization, 602 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: and a tax carried out without the fingerprints of an 603 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: organized network. Well, it depends which one you're talking about, 604 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: but radicalization really follows a single path. For some ideology 605 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: comes first. For others, the trigger is grievance, isolation, or 606 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: personal instability, which gradually hardens inside online echo chambers where 607 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: resentments circulate freely. Social media has accelerated the process, allowing 608 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: extremist narratives to spread quickly and widely. One more reason 609 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: to unplug the Internet. 610 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 2: It is at least worth noting. 611 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: What we discussed in the wake of several different shootings 612 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: and assassination attempts that often it's just an angry person 613 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: who wants to be violent. They're looking for an excuse 614 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: for violence. They come across an ideology that they never 615 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: even thought about before, haven't worked for years on, haven't 616 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: tried to raise a word. No, they're brand new to 617 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,719 Speaker 1: it and think that's my excuse, I'm going to kill 618 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: somebody and they do it, And there could be some 619 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: of that. Absolutely in this. 620 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 2: Man is flying a mess right now. 621 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: Our executive producer is stuck somewhere else and not here 622 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: today because of weather. And you combine that with the 623 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 1: TSA shortage everywhere, and you're gonna have some real airport 624 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: messes around the country. Plus I mentioned to him that, yeah, 625 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: I'd heard that some airfares are doubled, and he said, 626 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: keep going up. Oh really, I'm not going anywhere for 627 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: a while, so I haven't looked into it. And then 628 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: that whole get to the airport three hours early thing, 629 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: three hours for a two hour flight. 630 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 2: I'm driving both ways. 631 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I keep forgetting there's a partial government shutdown going on, 632 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: so I guess they got to work that out. It's 633 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: a measure of how dysfunctional problem with the politics are 634 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: that the Democrats are sticking with a Department of Homeland 635 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: Security shut down. Now, I mean not just the war 636 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: with Iran and everything, but the air travel and such. 637 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 1: And absolutely nobody is blaming the Republicans to the extent 638 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: anybody's paying attention at all. Sure doesn't feel that way 639 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, but they still want to shut down ICE, 640 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: which is really last month's issue. Yeah, gosh, help you 641 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: if you are flying, I'm glad, I'm not. Hopefully it 642 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: will all be resolved soon. We got some other news 643 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: to catch you up on the economics of a whole 644 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: bunch of different things and lots of fun stuff, so 645 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,280 Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around. If you miss a segment, 646 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and 647 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: Getty
