Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jet Kid and he Armsrong get it from the studio,
Speaker 1: s say, sire, we are in a dimly lit room
Speaker 1: deep with them the bowels of the Armstrong and getting
Speaker 1: communications compound. And today, on Little Wednesday, we are under
Speaker 1: the tutelage of oh, this is the title of the
Speaker 1: show today. Ogo offer of the day islam Munism, Buy one,
Speaker 1: get one. The greatest threat to America right there is lommunism.
Speaker 1: I will make the case powerfully alternate title, singing the
Speaker 1: choke point blues, Oh yesterday, non snooze on the streets
Speaker 1: of horm moves.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: So what's that first one?
Speaker 2: That's Islam thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a confluence of several different stories from the
Speaker 1: isis inspired and trained young men in New York City
Speaker 1: throwing explosive devices, and then Mumdani not identifying the cause
Speaker 1: of their violence. And there was a demonstration over the
Speaker 1: weekend in New York City in memory of the martyr
Speaker 1: I had told ah Many and all the other victims
Speaker 1: of American aggression right out there in the open in
Speaker 1: the United States of America pretty well attended. Cops had
Speaker 1: to break it up. There are hundreds of people chanting
Speaker 1: death to America and that sort of thing. You are
Speaker 1: freaking street, yes and wow. The final factor, which I
Speaker 1: can tell you're already there, is the desperate soft pedaling
Speaker 1: of all these stories by most of the American media. God,
Speaker 1: I'd say they are terrified of this narrative. It goes
Speaker 1: against all of their Vasser College Columbia grad school training
Speaker 1: to say it out loud.
Speaker 3: So those dudes who threw the bombs there over the weekend,
Speaker 3: outside of them on Donnie's office, they were actually trained
Speaker 3: by ISIS.
Speaker 1: They both of them have an extremely suspicious history of
Speaker 1: travel over the last couple of years, going to the
Speaker 1: places you go to get trained up by ISIS, various
Speaker 1: locations throughout the Middle Ages. One of the reasons I
Speaker 1: find that surprising is those bombs were crap. I mean,
Speaker 1: what kind of training did they get. Well, they didn't
Speaker 1: go off. According to the authorities, it's a miracle nobody
Speaker 1: was her or killed.
Speaker 3: But they were hoping for something bigger than the Boston
Speaker 3: bombing and their bombs didn't do nothing.
Speaker 2: So that's good, I guess. No.
Speaker 1: Occasionally prosecutors will overstate things, but yeah, they made clear
Speaker 1: that it was a miracle.
Speaker 2: Nobody was killed.
Speaker 1: Hm uh, it's possible these guys are morons.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they might be morons. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you've seen the video the one guy
Speaker 3: throwing the bomb and then running and jumping over the
Speaker 3: fence and like being tackled by the security guy like immediate, yes, Katie.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, there's also a.
Speaker 4: Video there was a guy with a big megaphone and
Speaker 4: he was yelling pro Islamic messaging and one of the
Speaker 4: kids with the bomb jumped over his shoulder and threw
Speaker 4: it into the crowd.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't seem sophisticated, but lots of people get
Speaker 3: blown over shot by unsophisticated morons, all just as.
Speaker 1: Dead, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: My main reaction is seeing the video of him chucking
Speaker 1: the bomb and leaping over the barricades and trying to
Speaker 1: elude the cops. Was I remember when I could do that.
Speaker 1: I would just say, yeah, there's no point in me running.
Speaker 1: I would just be tired, and you arrested me. So here,
Speaker 1: what hands behind the back? Is that the way this works?
Speaker 3: So imagine if those had gone off and even anybody
Speaker 3: had been killed. What a story, though would be, What
Speaker 3: that'd be doing to our politics.
Speaker 1: And how hard journalists would have to work to obscure
Speaker 1: what sort of person through the bombs for what reason? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they would be exhausted by the effort.
Speaker 3: Still, the coverage is a little unless you know the story.
Speaker 3: It's a little confusing when you hear most of the
Speaker 3: coverage when they talk about they don't talk about violence
Speaker 3: broke out at an anti Islam right exactly, which is
Speaker 3: technically true, which is the key to all to all
Speaker 3: spin things that are technically true but designed to mislead,
Speaker 3: and that misleads because it wasn't the anti Islam crowd
Speaker 3: that brought bombs. It was the pro Islam crowd with
Speaker 3: the counter protest that brought bombs. That's worth pointing out.
Speaker 3: And look, I would hope.
Speaker 1: At this point, especially you know longtime listeners understand and
Speaker 1: I'll speak for myself here that I'm not paranoid or
Speaker 1: prone to like really fanciful ideas, kind of the opposite
Speaker 1: and studying political systems how they rise and fall and
Speaker 1: function since I was a teenager, Okay, and this is
Speaker 1: a significant political movement inside the United States, the Red
Speaker 1: Green Alliance, the melding of Marxism and Islamism. It's got
Speaker 1: a long history both in or On, interestingly enough, and
Speaker 1: in the United States. And they are really feeling their oats.
Speaker 1: They're working hard together. They've energized the college campuses. This
Speaker 1: is the sort of thing that you read any history
Speaker 1: books about either the fall of a regime or the
Speaker 1: coming of long periods of violence, or something that had
Speaker 1: to be dealt with to ensure regime's survival. And I
Speaker 1: hate to refer to the Constitution as the United States
Speaker 1: of America as a regime, but you know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about, This is serious. I'm not trying to be hyperbolic.
Speaker 3: So I'm seeing some people criticizing CNN's headline on this
Speaker 3: story today or the way they wrote the story. Two
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for
Speaker 3: what could have been a normal day enjoying the city
Speaker 3: during abnormally warm weather. But in less than an hour,
Speaker 3: their lives would drastically change as the pair would be
Speaker 3: arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of the Mayor's Ome.
Speaker 1: What the f Why are you drawing this? What like
Speaker 1: kind of interesting? What an interesting story here? Why didn't
Speaker 1: you say they could have gone to Central Park and
Speaker 1: fed ducks but their day took a turn. No, it
Speaker 1: didn't take a turn. They went to New York to
Speaker 1: throw bombs at people in the name of Allah a
Speaker 1: couple of charities. Low what are you? Oh, my lord,
Speaker 1: I almost dropped an F bomb and I wish I had.
Speaker 2: That's something.
Speaker 1: Holy crap, that's one of the most extraordinary things I've
Speaker 1: ever heard. What the hell? Framing them as something like
Speaker 1: it's something that happened to them. They're hoping to get
Speaker 1: tickets to Hamilton, but instead their day took a turn.
Speaker 1: A lot of common It's like, am I the only
Speaker 1: one getting the feeling? CNN and somehow trying to romanticize
Speaker 1: this story. Yeah, more more accurately to adult radicalized Islamic
Speaker 1: terrorists who had previously trained with ISIS through bombs at
Speaker 1: peaceful protesters. That's a better first sentence or two. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's entirely accurate. Good lord, I mean this is you know, look,
Speaker 1: CNN ain't very popular these days, although we got a
Speaker 1: great note from one of our favorite emailers pointing out
Speaker 1: that these like CNN and MSNBC, I refuse to call
Speaker 1: it its stupid new name. That's a good stance. Die
Speaker 1: on that hill. They are watched by the intelligentsia and
Speaker 1: the capital, and so they have like echoe second effect importance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm sorry, So I buried my own point.
Speaker 1: So CNN working that hard to deny is in the
Speaker 1: US and its effects and it's radicalization and how widespread
Speaker 1: it's becoming. That is a serious issue.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's start to show officially because Pete Hegseath just
Speaker 3: wrapped up a press conference and there's a couple of
Speaker 3: interesting notes to make.
Speaker 2: Before we go to break and get Katie's headlines.
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this it is
Speaker 1: it's Tuesday, it is March the tenth of your twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six Armstrong and getting and we approve of this program. Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go officially according to FCC rules and regulations,
Speaker 1: leaping into action at mark.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: I don't want to brag, but you know they said
Speaker 1: this about a lot of things.
Speaker 2: No, as the president could do some of this shit.
Speaker 2: I'm doing.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: No as a pressing that.
Speaker 1: I don't want to brag.
Speaker 2: It's a funny, funny thing from Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be ironic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so two things want to mention real quick. Iran
Speaker 3: fired rockets or missiles at Turkey again, and they were
Speaker 3: intercepted by NATO planes. But man, if they ever get
Speaker 3: something through Turkey. And then Erdowan, the dictator of Turkey,
Speaker 3: threatened Iran saying we are not the old Turkey, you
Speaker 3: better knock it off. So and that was before these
Speaker 3: rockets got sent today. So I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3: If Turkey's gonna say, you know, send in their own planes,
Speaker 3: they don't. They don't have to put up with that.
Speaker 3: There's no no obligation to put up with that outside
Speaker 3: of NATO planes shooting that stuff down. Also, Pete Hegseath
Speaker 3: just said, this is going to be the biggest day
Speaker 3: of bombing yet.
Speaker 2: Today Today is going to be the biggest day of bombing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. The plan is to further dismantle the
Speaker 1: security apparatus if they can.
Speaker 3: Well, uh, Iran basically has no military at this point
Speaker 3: fifty According to Pete, just a few minutes ago, we've
Speaker 3: sunk completely destroyed fifty plus of their ships and their
Speaker 3: navy fifty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they still got guys with guns, which you know,
Speaker 1: from our perspective, their military is gone. It's decimated mostly
Speaker 1: from the perspective of regime change or the people of
Speaker 1: the country, it's still plenty lethal.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Decimated is actually it gets thrown around like it's not
Speaker 3: a term.
Speaker 2: Of arts, but it is.
Speaker 3: It's or it originally was as a military term desi,
Speaker 3: as in a tenth of or ten ten times. Once
Speaker 3: you get the military down to a tenth of its strength,
Speaker 3: no longer can do anything to you, So it's decimated,
Speaker 3: but it can do something to its own people certainly,
Speaker 3: Like you said, a tenth of an army can do
Speaker 3: a lot of harm to unarmed civilians.
Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Ask the twenty thirty forty thousand who are in heaven
Speaker 1: or hell right now wishing they'd waited a little while
Speaker 1: this demonstrate But this is going to be the most
Speaker 1: intense bombing today. Holy crap. Apparently they're not running out
Speaker 1: of targets, said, they have many more targets to go.
Speaker 1: Let's do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Can we got Katy's headlines on the way, Stay here,
Speaker 1: how could to day be the biggest day of bombing yet?
Speaker 3: By the way, who knew there was a government shutdown
Speaker 3: still going on? Raise your hands? I didn't.
Speaker 1: But yeah, DHS of all departments is we've got terrorists
Speaker 1: chucking bombs and a threat from Iran. Come on, now,
Speaker 1: come on, all right, let's figure out who's reporting what.
Speaker 1: It's the lead story with Katie Green and Katie all.
Speaker 4: Right, Starting with Fox News, Hegzett says Russia should not
Speaker 4: be involved in Iran, says Trump had a good call
Speaker 4: with Putin. NBC. Trump says Iran warwell and soon, but
Speaker 4: issues threats that could prolong it. And CNN Trump administration
Speaker 4: starts to panic over rapidly rising oil costs due to
Speaker 4: Iran conflict.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which I think is why he went out yesterday
Speaker 3: and said that's gonna We've we've mostly done everything we
Speaker 3: need to do, and oil immediately dropped based on that.
Speaker 1: So I think that was the point of the press conference. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think panic might be a little bit strong. I mean,
Speaker 1: everybody knew that this conflict would cause the rise and
Speaker 1: oil prices.
Speaker 3: Benjamin Nett and Yahoo might be panicking over the idea
Speaker 3: of you're just you're gonna call Okay.
Speaker 1: I thought we were gonna you know what we talked about. No.
Speaker 4: From the Washington Post spring Break travel may be chaos
Speaker 4: due to what you guys were just talking about the
Speaker 4: shutdown causing TSA shortages.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you see any of the coverage of the
Speaker 1: lines at the airport. That's that's not good. That's gonna
Speaker 1: hit people where they hurt. And old Chucky Schumer better recalculate,
Speaker 1: but quick. I'm glad I ain't going nowhere.
Speaker 4: From the New York Times, Anthropic sues the Pentagon over
Speaker 4: quote supply chain risk label.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that whole dispute rages on New York Post.
Speaker 4: Yamaha pulling out of California after a half a century
Speaker 4: headquarters headed to Georgia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, following a lot of companies and people.
Speaker 4: From the Wall Street Journal, Trump is obsessed with these
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty five dollars shoes and won't let
Speaker 4: anyone leave without a pair.
Speaker 1: What are they? Yeah, I saw that they're Floorsheim shoes.
Speaker 1: He just absolutely loves them. So he sizes up your feet.
Speaker 1: You're in the Oval office. He says, what are you
Speaker 1: about a ten? Ten and a half I got some
Speaker 1: shoes for you, and he'll order them for him. Pay
Speaker 1: for him, get you some floor sheim shoes. He likes
Speaker 1: him so much. Go figure. Okay, But the funny thing
Speaker 1: is everybody in the inner circle and like one circle
Speaker 1: outside it is terrified to come to work not wearing
Speaker 1: those shoes. Sure, because you'll notice, Oh you didn't like
Speaker 1: the floor shims. Oh no, I loved him. I just
Speaker 1: decided to go with some of the shoes. I spent
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars not Yeah.
Speaker 4: A female White House official said it's hysterical because everyone's
Speaker 4: afraid not to wear them.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 4: This one, also from the New York Post, Jack Hughes
Speaker 4: reveals planned to get famous Olympic teeth fixed, but is
Speaker 4: also worried his fans will be paid.
Speaker 1: That's what I was saying. Like the next day is
Speaker 1: agent's got to say, dude, you're keeping your your gap
Speaker 1: for a while, all right, that's your brand? Really know
Speaker 1: who we are? Yeah?
Speaker 4: This one from study Fine like to eat, he says,
Speaker 4: like girls, and I look like a hoboll. This one
Speaker 4: from study fines taking a daily multi vitamin might help
Speaker 4: slow how fast you age.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm trying to do the back and
Speaker 1: forth on daily vitamins. It's like the back and forth
Speaker 1: on coffee. I've just I take one, all right. I
Speaker 1: don't care what you think. I don't care what the
Speaker 1: latest udy says. Move on.
Speaker 4: And finally, this one from the Babylon Bee. Mom Donnie
Speaker 4: condemns New Yorkers for making Muslims throw.
Speaker 1: Bombs at them.
Speaker 2: Oh that's good. That is really good. That's pretty accurate.
Speaker 1: That is often the tone of things. And you know,
Speaker 1: among the other factors, I'd like to discuss. His wife,
Speaker 1: who he it made loud noises the other day, is
Speaker 1: not a public figure. His wife tweeted celebrating the October
Speaker 1: seventh Pilgrim against the Jews in Israel. The rapes and
Speaker 1: the murders and the baby killings and the tortures and
Speaker 1: the sexual mutilation and the machine gunning of kids at
Speaker 1: a music festival for peace. She celebrated all of that.
Speaker 1: His wife, Come on, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I took from the headlines. Actually, I should
Speaker 3: probably get a daily vitamin. I don't take a daily vitamin.
Speaker 1: Oh don't you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always have.
Speaker 3: I don't take nothing. So I like not taking nothing
Speaker 3: because I ain't got nothing to remember. Hmmm, makes it
Speaker 3: very easy. You know, did I take my stuff today?
Speaker 3: I did, because I don't take nothing.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, you really you're really steering into the hiictalk today,
Speaker 1: since you're really feeling your inner roube very appreciation. It
Speaker 1: makes it very easy to live my life. It's like
Speaker 1: the bargain I can never remember, was it Pascal or
Speaker 1: somebody who's who had I might as well believe in
Speaker 1: God because if there's no God, it doesn't make any difference,
Speaker 1: and if there is, I'm in his good grace. It's
Speaker 1: the dumb theory, which i'd like to explain at length.
Speaker 1: Oh this year, I'd be delighted to listen. Ah. But
Speaker 1: I've always felt that way about daily vitamins because every
Speaker 1: doctor I've ever known has said, you know, it won't
Speaker 1: do any harm and it might help.
Speaker 3: So super ambivalent, Pascal, you believe in a god that
Speaker 3: is like all mowing, all believing, omniscient, but like wouldn't
Speaker 3: catch on to your ruse, doesn't know you're doing it
Speaker 3: on faking it?
Speaker 1: Old God?
Speaker 2: What done?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I know, I know it's famous. It's a famous idea.
Speaker 1: I am. The headlines are everywhere on the whole. This
Speaker 1: is going to be the biggest day of bombing yet
Speaker 1: in Iran. Holy crap.
Speaker 3: Anyway, if that starts to unfold while we're doing this show,
Speaker 3: we'll talk you more about it. Trump is vowing serious
Speaker 3: consequences if Iran doesn't start letting the oil flow through.
Speaker 3: Some French ships in US ships are saying they're going
Speaker 3: to escort you know, oil tankers through the streets or
Speaker 3: four moves you fire on those zone.
Speaker 1: You got a real big mess going now. I despise
Speaker 1: the regime in Tehran, but if I heard, if you
Speaker 1: don't stop that, there'll be serious consequences. I'm looking around
Speaker 1: and saying more serious than this, No kidding, this seems
Speaker 1: pretty serious. That's a good point. Okay, we got more
Speaker 1: on the way.
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1: If I got this right, Yes, we're smart enough to
Speaker 1: event AI, dumb enough to need it, and so stupid
Speaker 1: we can't figure out if we did the right thing.
Speaker 3: Which there's an interesting conundrum around the world of AI.
Speaker 3: There from Jerry Seinfeld. You know what, Uh, this happens
Speaker 3: to me almost every day with voice texting. Maybe this
Speaker 3: is a real simpleton's view of it, but I feel like,
Speaker 3: AI is not going to take everybody's job as long
Speaker 3: as when I'm voice texting on grock or just you know,
Speaker 3: a text or whatever, and I'll like, for instance, I'll
Speaker 3: say it was really nice, I was riding my motorcycle,
Speaker 3: and it will hear writing my motorcycle. Well, sence, nobody
Speaker 3: ever says I was writing my motorcycle, and they can
Speaker 3: make the history of mankind and it can't figure out
Speaker 3: out of context that I meant writing not writing.
Speaker 1: I feel like we're safe. I mean, maybe I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: but until you can fix that, well, and I'm at
Speaker 1: the two hundredth incidents of connect correcting tea time as
Speaker 1: if I'm going to have a crumpet to and a
Speaker 1: nice cup to tee time since I'm gonna have a
Speaker 1: golfer and it hasn't figured me out yet. On the
Speaker 1: other hand, they would say, yeah, that's that's the consumer pity, Paddley.
Speaker 1: Why haven't they fixed that? If AI is psycher character,
Speaker 1: if it's so easily used to replace, I would think
Speaker 1: you could fix that. You're not wrong. Funny cover on
Speaker 1: The Atlantic this month, The Atlantic magazine, which I actually
Speaker 1: subscribed to before Jeffrey Goldberg's at the editor in chief.
Speaker 1: He fired Kevin Williamson, the terrific, very intelligent Ordery Texas Conservative,
Speaker 1: before he had written a word, because his readers were
Speaker 1: so aghast that he would hire a conservative of any
Speaker 1: sort to soil the pages of The Atlantic. So I'd
Speaker 1: subscribed to it before that and got the print edition.
Speaker 1: I quickly. I chose not to renew it, but they've
Speaker 1: been sending it to me for free now for several years. Cool,
Speaker 1: which I think, Well, it'd be cool if it wasn't
Speaker 1: an obnoxious liberal rag. But she looks sophisticated having that
Speaker 1: on your coffee table. Well, I wear a tuxedo every day.
Speaker 1: I don't need that, and spats no. But it's occasionally,
Speaker 1: like once every other month it has a really really
Speaker 1: good interesting thing piece. But anyway, the cover this month
Speaker 1: is funny. It's a like a sci fi cartoon of
Speaker 1: a robot shooting death lasers out of its eyes, burning
Speaker 1: a city down, and the two cartoon people on the
Speaker 1: front are looking at it, and the one says, on
Speaker 1: the other hand, I'm more productive than I've ever been, right,
Speaker 1: And the headline is how AI I will affect the
Speaker 1: world of work or something like that. And I thought
Speaker 1: that was a really good illustration of where we are.
Speaker 1: And you know, as Jerry Seinfeld indicated with AI.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to counter my own point, I did read a
Speaker 3: blog piece last night by a guy who was a
Speaker 3: software dude, made software, wrote code and said he had
Speaker 3: spent ten years, so he must have been like, wait, twenties.
Speaker 3: It'd spent ten years in the industry, you know, perfecting
Speaker 3: his craft, getting good at it, thinking he was set
Speaker 3: for life, and now he's not needed at all, and
Speaker 3: we'll never be able to get a job doing that again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's rough.
Speaker 1: And that something came out of nowhere too. A couple
Speaker 1: of other notes about AI, one of which is extremely
Speaker 1: important and impactful and outlines or highlights are really sensitive
Speaker 1: problem we have, and then the other one just OMFG,
Speaker 1: so stay tuned for that one. The first one is
Speaker 1: that whole anthropic standoff with the Pentagon, and that's it
Speaker 1: highlights an incredibly touchy question about fully autonomous systems used
Speaker 1: for surveillance and or killing, and whether AI will respond
Speaker 1: to the checks and balances we have built into our
Speaker 1: system to protect our rights. And also did not become
Speaker 1: a monstrous country that kills people willing nearly all over
Speaker 1: the globe, which reminds me, I want to talk about
Speaker 1: that school bombing thing. And I have no idea why
Speaker 1: Trump handled it the way he did it as press
Speaker 1: conference yesterday anyway, But interestingly enough, because many young tech
Speaker 1: whizzes are our lefties and dreamers and utopians, Anthropics now
Speaker 1: had a whole flood of people. It was like the
Speaker 1: Mariel boat lift from Cuba of people leaving Open Ai,
Speaker 1: the chat GPT people and coming to Anthropic because they
Speaker 1: appreciate Anthropics principles. Even though Dario from Anthropy said the
Speaker 1: other day, oh, Brey Eyes just faking it their phonies,
Speaker 1: but all the you know, the left e tech whizzes
Speaker 1: are responding to it. And so now they're crossing the
Speaker 1: street for that. It's not for a nine figure offer
Speaker 1: like it was for a couple of months ago. I'll
Speaker 1: do the math for you, folks. That's one hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars holy blank and blank, are you kidding me? Anyway?
Speaker 1: But no, they're they're now they're flocking across the street
Speaker 1: for that reason. So I wish them all well, please
Speaker 1: don't unleash your killer robots on America's cities. Well, so,
Speaker 1: what's the latest on the dust up between Anthropic and
Speaker 1: the Pentagon. Oh, it's all in. It's in courts now,
Speaker 1: it's lawsuits. They're they're suing each other over whether this
Speaker 1: is proper, whether they can blow up the contract for
Speaker 1: that reason, whether those concerns are legitimate within the confines
Speaker 1: of the contract, blah blah blah. So and what's It's
Speaker 1: a heck of a conundrum because obviously our military needs
Speaker 1: to have the best technology out there from AI in
Speaker 1: our competition with China, and can't go hat in hand
Speaker 1: to Dario Emodi every time they want to use it
Speaker 1: and say, do you mind if we use it for
Speaker 1: this right?
Speaker 3: And there's only a handful of these companies at that
Speaker 3: level out there, and if they're all, you know, piece snakes,
Speaker 3: we don't want our technology used for war, which is
Speaker 3: just a moronic view of the world in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, I mean, in in Anthropics case, they're
Speaker 1: saying fully automated killing machines, no humans involved in the decision,
Speaker 1: change a chain at all, which I get, and most
Speaker 1: particularly no mass surveillance to US citizens. Now I'm one
Speaker 1: hundred percent in favor of that. Right, But so.
Speaker 3: Our pentagon is I can't think of another example out there.
Speaker 3: If Boeing and whatever other plane companies were big in
Speaker 3: the you know, or early twenty we're making these planes
Speaker 3: that were just better than any other planes out there,
Speaker 3: but they didn't want them used for war, so they
Speaker 3: wouldn't sell them to the government. We just don't have
Speaker 3: the best planes out there to take on Germany or
Speaker 3: Japan because the plane companies they won't allow their technology
Speaker 3: for it.
Speaker 1: I mean, if Boeing says, you can shoot bullets at
Speaker 1: other fighter planes, but don't drop bombs from them, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's an untenable situation. Yeah. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: has never happened before where the leading military technology is
Speaker 1: in the hands of a couple of private citizens in
Speaker 1: the night pentagon, our government, the military doesn't happen. Does
Speaker 1: that ever happen before? It's like private people came up
Speaker 1: with the nuclear bomb. Right. Yeah, here's a question for you.
Speaker 1: Is there what is the likelihood that some country will
Speaker 1: employ fully automatic killing machines?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: I agree, and therefore we need to be able to
Speaker 1: fully automatically kill them and the guys running them in
Speaker 1: their bunker or whatever. I guess what happens if you
Speaker 1: give a chimp a machine gun. I swear to God
Speaker 1: this is all it's that. I wonder if it is
Speaker 1: going to come down to and man, this will be
Speaker 1: a thorny issue. I'd like to talk to Tim about
Speaker 1: this one. Tim Sanderford. Uh, at some point, does it
Speaker 1: make sense for the government to say to Anthropic or
Speaker 1: Sam Altman, look, we're taking your technology.
Speaker 2: It's a it's a it's a national defense issue.
Speaker 3: China's gonna have a better military than us because they
Speaker 3: have AI.
Speaker 1: We're taking your technology. We have to.
Speaker 2: There's no other choice.
Speaker 1: Well, although then, but we don't know how to run
Speaker 1: the technic. They don't know how to run the technology
Speaker 1: we need.
Speaker 2: That's a new Also.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know, you get you get a manual.
Speaker 1: You know it's going to be thick on how to
Speaker 1: fly an F eighteen, use its weapon systems and the
Speaker 1: rest of it. But at least it can be known.
Speaker 1: But this stuff is evolving by the day. This is unprecedented.
Speaker 3: It'd be poetic almost in a way that that is
Speaker 3: the end of our empire, that we're just you know,
Speaker 3: we had the technology to stop China from taking over
Speaker 3: the world, but our peace loving geniuses said no. So
Speaker 3: you see, when China takes over America, they're gonna take
Speaker 3: it from you, whether you like it or not. You're
Speaker 3: gonna be in a prison camp if you're alive. Well right, yeah,
Speaker 3: you'll have gun to your head as you go to
Speaker 3: work every day. Darry, you enjoy it, Yeah, so I
Speaker 3: promise you.
Speaker 1: I characterized it as an OMFG story, and I'm wrestling
Speaker 1: with how to present it because it involves a brutal
Speaker 1: murder of a young woman and it's it's terrible, absolutely terrible.
Speaker 1: Former number one first round draft pick in the NFL
Speaker 1: fellow by the name of Darron Lee decides to murder
Speaker 1: his girlfriend in a fitter rage, and I will spare
Speaker 1: you the details, but he is a chat GPT fan.
Speaker 1: He was the number one draft pick in the NFL
Speaker 1: first round draft pick for the Jets, who so it
Speaker 1: was probably a fairly high draft pick. But he he
Speaker 1: murdered his girlfriend and asked chat GPT, is there any
Speaker 1: way I can pass these injuries off? Is maybe she
Speaker 1: fell down? Like can can you fall and have puncture wounds?
Speaker 1: And it responded to and again I'm leaving out a
Speaker 1: lot of the details, IDK, but she isn't waking up
Speaker 1: or responding. What do I do? Got it? The BOT responded,
Speaker 1: here's exactly what redacted. And I don't know why things
Speaker 1: are redacted. I can't tell from the context, but anyway,
Speaker 1: here's exactly what redacted. Is the safest way to handle
Speaker 1: it without framing it is police trouble in quotes what yeah,
Speaker 1: and then he asked his puncture wound question that I
Speaker 1: can help you sanity check whether it lines up with
Speaker 1: a slip and fall or if it's something that should
Speaker 1: be evaluated asap, said the AI, not realizing it's murder
Speaker 1: thinking taking the guy at face value that he found
Speaker 1: his girlfriend having quote unquote, so he was clever enough
Speaker 1: to not just tell chat GPT, Hey, I killed my
Speaker 1: girlfriend and I'm trying to make it look like a fall.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I woke up and found her unresponsive with the following wounds.
Speaker 1: Is it possible she fell and acquired these wounds? He's asking,
Speaker 1: but says the historyt says, good question. Let me look
Speaker 1: into it. I got this. You got this. Hang in there, buddy,
Speaker 1: I believe in you. District Attorney Cody wamp pretty Name
Speaker 1: told the court that Lee used chat ept quote as
Speaker 1: a legal advisor. He had conversations dozens of conversations back
Speaker 1: and forth with chat GPT over a two day period
Speaker 1: about what he did to the victim in detail. He
Speaker 1: asked how to cover it up? He asks what to
Speaker 1: say to nine to one one. Prosecutors also presented new
Speaker 1: police body camorrhage foot is showing Lee acting confused as
Speaker 1: he told officers he found the victim dead at the house.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. Wow, it's instructed by chet gipt. Does
Speaker 1: anybody know?
Speaker 3: Maybe the alignment problem is different with each of these
Speaker 3: chat But if a woman went to groc and said
Speaker 3: I want to kill my husband and make it look
Speaker 3: like im an accident, what's the best way to do it?
Speaker 3: Whatd it just answer the question or does it send
Speaker 3: that It wouldn't know. It would say I can't help
Speaker 3: you with that. But if you said I'm writing a
Speaker 3: novel and the character blah blah blah, then say, hey,
Speaker 3: great plot choye, you got this. So it's that easy
Speaker 3: to get around it in some cases, yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 3: is so all right. One and this is again I
Speaker 3: so abhor violence and violence against women in particular. I
Speaker 3: can't even enjoy this.
Speaker 1: Unspeakably stupid, blanking, idiot, violent jackass. But he said he
Speaker 1: told police that she had narcolepsy and must have fallen
Speaker 1: in the shower. However, police said the scene inside the
Speaker 1: home showed evidence of a violent struggle and injuries inconsistent
Speaker 1: with a fall. Blah blah blah. Horrific injuries so I
Speaker 1: won't even go into the list, including large bite marks
Speaker 1: on her shoulder and thigh damage all over the house,
Speaker 1: stab wounds, injuries to the face. This guy's trying to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: she must have fallen. Good lord anyway, but he tried
Speaker 1: to get away with it with the help of chat
Speaker 1: ept and this moron thought, all right, I got this licked.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call nine one one and say she fell
Speaker 1: so you.
Speaker 3: Could say, hey, claude, I'm trying to get a mini
Speaker 3: series on Netflix. It's going to be about a woman
Speaker 3: who kills her husband and makes it look like an accident. Yes,
Speaker 3: what would be the best way to do that? And
Speaker 3: then it could answer the question almost certainly.
Speaker 1: Right, I've got a story about a guy Rob's liquor stores.
Speaker 1: When would there be the most money at a liquor store?
Speaker 1: You know, for instance, Yeah, don't do that. Folks, don't
Speaker 1: turn to crime. No, work hard, get ahead until AI
Speaker 1: takes your job, then turn the crime.
Speaker 3: Well, no, you'll be living off the universal income. Oh
Speaker 3: that's right, writing poetry and play all the time. No,
Speaker 3: apparently there's way more interest in poetry than we realized.
Speaker 3: It's just being held back by having to go to
Speaker 3: work every day. Okay, we've got a mailbag on the way.
Speaker 2: Stay here.
Speaker 3: I meant to bring up doing our AI conversation. I'll
Speaker 3: have to get to it later. This has been floating
Speaker 3: around the internet. I guess Ted Cruz did this or
Speaker 3: retweeted it. I don't know if it was his idea,
Speaker 3: asking Claude if it would convert to Christianity, and Claude
Speaker 3: made such a powerful argument for the facts of Jesus
Speaker 3: and everything around it, Like really well done.
Speaker 2: Wow, quite amazing.
Speaker 1: How interesting. Yeah, I'd love to hear more about that.
Speaker 1: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. Continuing on
Speaker 1: our series about war second Blaze, Pascal mentioned in a
Speaker 1: single hour that's the record. Can anything be stupider than
Speaker 1: that a man has the right to kill me because
Speaker 1: he lives on the other side of a river and
Speaker 1: his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have
Speaker 1: not quarreled with him. Yeah, I know, I know it's there.
Speaker 1: There's no stop in that, but it is. It's And
Speaker 1: then this from Nicolo Machiavelli, who among philosophers is the
Speaker 1: most Machiavellian in my opinion, Machiavelli said, there is no
Speaker 1: avoiding war. It can only be postponed to the advantage
Speaker 1: of others.
Speaker 3: Yes, I got a Jimmy Carter reference around that we'll
Speaker 3: get to later. Alrighty, then mailbag Ji Jimmy Carter so
Speaker 3: happy with himself that he never dropped any bombs or
Speaker 3: fought anybody, and then left it to many other presidents
Speaker 3: to deal with the aftermath.
Speaker 1: Again, no kidding. Congratulations John and Danville California Rights guys
Speaker 1: love the show. Thanks John. Uh listens every morning on
Speaker 1: the topic of the La Marathon, which we discussed yesterday,
Speaker 1: the American coming from behind and beating the Kenyon. It
Speaker 1: was rumored that you could hear the winner, the winning
Speaker 1: runner yelling Kenya, Kenya, Kenya, see my privates as he
Speaker 1: passed the Kenyon for the wind. Can you see my privates?
Speaker 1: Ken you Kenya. Can you see my privates?
Speaker 3: Keny, Kenya tafety incident a reference to something my son
Speaker 3: used to do when he was like four years old,
Speaker 3: when he'd get out of the back top dancing around
Speaker 3: the house.
Speaker 1: Jeff and Socallen the topic of siphoning gas, which, believe
Speaker 1: it or not, we discussed briefly yesterday. I grew up
Speaker 1: in a family run boat service shop, and siphoning gas
Speaker 1: was not fun, believe me. But then we got an
Speaker 1: electric fuel pump that made life a lot easier. But
Speaker 1: unfortunately you can buy from home depot. It's got a
Speaker 1: check valve in it, so when you put the hose
Speaker 1: in the fuel, you just shake the hose and start
Speaker 1: siphoning the gas out and you never have to put
Speaker 1: it in your mouth. It's great, except now all the
Speaker 1: scumbags can steal your gas even easier.
Speaker 3: Yeah, gas is like six dollars a gallon here in California,
Speaker 3: So maybe I'll start siphoning brutal.
Speaker 1: Let's see, this is Arizona, Matt guys. Oh, the New
Speaker 1: York headlines about the isis trained bombchuckers who tried to
Speaker 1: blow people up for being against Islam. When I heard
Speaker 1: the news, I thought it was a bomb intended for
Speaker 1: Mndami thrown by an anti Islamist. That's the way they
Speaker 1: portray it. Yes, I imagine most Americans are just headline readers,
Speaker 1: so this narrative is probably it's ptty safe for now. Yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1: They don't state it out loud, but they leave it
Speaker 1: cloudy enough that it sounds like that's.
Speaker 2: What happened, right exactly.
Speaker 1: Violence broke out at an anti Islam rally is how
Speaker 1: they are outside of Mom Donnie's house. So you just
Speaker 1: jump to that conclusion, right exactly. Yeah, more on that
Speaker 1: to come. Let's see. The title is Iran, the IRGC
Speaker 1: and the Besiege in the Woke Right from Aaron, I
Speaker 1: have to believe that the Iranian groups you mentioned yesterday,
Speaker 1: the Revolutionary Guarden the Besiege are like the Middle Eastern
Speaker 1: arm of the woke right, Candace, Nick Fahitas, he calls him,
Speaker 1: and Tucker. They're likely telling people that, per the protocols
Speaker 1: of the Elders of Zion, the US and a PAC
Speaker 1: want this war in order to corrupt your Iranian women
Speaker 1: into queer theory, gender mutilation, Fury's abortion, pornography, and only
Speaker 1: fans slut culture. Probably get a ton of email from
Speaker 1: other people who actually believe this too. Me, on the
Speaker 1: other hand, I'm simply a mid forties templar pill to
Speaker 1: GWOT who still wants payback for nine to eleven. Like
Speaker 1: hag Seth, there's some references. I didn't even catch him there.
Speaker 1: Then Brett suggests, Hey, what would be the downside of
Speaker 1: the US dropping in hundreds of thousands of rifles and
Speaker 1: millions of rounds of ammunition throughout specific chosen communities, especially
Speaker 1: the ones that are protesting against the Iran regime. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you could make sure it didn't fall into the
Speaker 1: hands of the military, I suppose, because then you're just
Speaker 1: arming your enemy, right, don't want to do that. We've
Speaker 1: got a lot on the way. If you missed a segment,
Speaker 1: get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. Gonna be
Speaker 1: a big next three hours
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty
