WEBVTT - You're Really Steering Into The Hick Talk 0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:12.440 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:17.160 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:29.840 Jet Kid and he Armsrong get it from the studio, 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.800 s say, sire, we are in a dimly lit room 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:34.960 deep with them the bowels of the Armstrong and getting 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:39.240 communications compound. And today, on Little Wednesday, we are under 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.680 the tutelage of oh, this is the title of the 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:47.240 show today. Ogo offer of the day islam Munism, Buy one, 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:52.000 get one. The greatest threat to America right there is lommunism. 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:56.360 I will make the case powerfully alternate title, singing the 0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:01.840 choke point blues, Oh yesterday, non snooze on the streets 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:02.800 of horm moves. 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:05.039 Right. 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:08.240 So what's that first one? 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:09.760 That's Islam thing. 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:16.760 Yeah, it's a confluence of several different stories from the 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:21.520 isis inspired and trained young men in New York City 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:27.240 throwing explosive devices, and then Mumdani not identifying the cause 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.240 of their violence. And there was a demonstration over the 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:35.039 weekend in New York City in memory of the martyr 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.640 I had told ah Many and all the other victims 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.000 of American aggression right out there in the open in 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.039 the United States of America pretty well attended. Cops had 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.880 to break it up. There are hundreds of people chanting 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.360 death to America and that sort of thing. You are 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:55.840 freaking street, yes and wow. The final factor, which I 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.960 can tell you're already there, is the desperate soft pedaling 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.680 of all these stories by most of the American media. God, 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:07.640 I'd say they are terrified of this narrative. It goes 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.840 against all of their Vasser College Columbia grad school training 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:12.840 to say it out loud. 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:17.560 So those dudes who threw the bombs there over the weekend, 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.440 outside of them on Donnie's office, they were actually trained 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:21.079 by ISIS. 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:25.360 They both of them have an extremely suspicious history of 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.120 travel over the last couple of years, going to the 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:32.040 places you go to get trained up by ISIS, various 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.000 locations throughout the Middle Ages. One of the reasons I 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.000 find that surprising is those bombs were crap. I mean, 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.520 what kind of training did they get. Well, they didn't 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.360 go off. According to the authorities, it's a miracle nobody 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:43.280 was her or killed. 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.360 But they were hoping for something bigger than the Boston 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.560 bombing and their bombs didn't do nothing. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.720 So that's good, I guess. No. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.480 Occasionally prosecutors will overstate things, but yeah, they made clear 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.519 that it was a miracle. 0:02:58.200 --> 0:02:58.960 Nobody was killed. 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:03.840 Hm uh, it's possible these guys are morons. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.480 Yeah, I think they might be morons. Yeah. 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.600 I mean, if you've seen the video the one guy 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.360 throwing the bomb and then running and jumping over the 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:14.240 fence and like being tackled by the security guy like immediate, yes, Katie. 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.919 Uh yeah, there's also a. 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.600 Video there was a guy with a big megaphone and 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:24.040 he was yelling pro Islamic messaging and one of the 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.800 kids with the bomb jumped over his shoulder and threw 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:27.680 it into the crowd. 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:33.600 Yeah, they didn't seem sophisticated, but lots of people get 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:37.000 blown over shot by unsophisticated morons, all just as. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:37.800 Dead, right, Yeah. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:38.280 Yeah. 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.560 My main reaction is seeing the video of him chucking 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.480 the bomb and leaping over the barricades and trying to 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.680 elude the cops. Was I remember when I could do that. 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.520 I would just say, yeah, there's no point in me running. 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.200 I would just be tired, and you arrested me. So here, 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.360 what hands behind the back? Is that the way this works? 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.640 So imagine if those had gone off and even anybody 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.280 had been killed. What a story, though would be, What 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.280 that'd be doing to our politics. 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.000 And how hard journalists would have to work to obscure 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.160 what sort of person through the bombs for what reason? Yeah, 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.160 they would be exhausted by the effort. 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.200 Still, the coverage is a little unless you know the story. 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.520 It's a little confusing when you hear most of the 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.040 coverage when they talk about they don't talk about violence 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:25.000 broke out at an anti Islam right exactly, which is 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.839 technically true, which is the key to all to all 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.880 spin things that are technically true but designed to mislead, 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.000 and that misleads because it wasn't the anti Islam crowd 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.039 that brought bombs. It was the pro Islam crowd with 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.600 the counter protest that brought bombs. That's worth pointing out. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.480 And look, I would hope. 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.840 At this point, especially you know longtime listeners understand and 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.120 I'll speak for myself here that I'm not paranoid or 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:57.440 prone to like really fanciful ideas, kind of the opposite 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.520 and studying political systems how they rise and fall and 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:06.599 function since I was a teenager, Okay, and this is 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:12.120 a significant political movement inside the United States, the Red 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:16.360 Green Alliance, the melding of Marxism and Islamism. It's got 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.800 a long history both in or On, interestingly enough, and 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.400 in the United States. And they are really feeling their oats. 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.240 They're working hard together. They've energized the college campuses. This 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.640 is the sort of thing that you read any history 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:36.159 books about either the fall of a regime or the 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:40.479 coming of long periods of violence, or something that had 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.160 to be dealt with to ensure regime's survival. And I 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.200 hate to refer to the Constitution as the United States 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.360 of America as a regime, but you know what I'm 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.520 talking about, This is serious. I'm not trying to be hyperbolic. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.520 So I'm seeing some people criticizing CNN's headline on this 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.320 story today or the way they wrote the story. Two 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.880 Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.919 what could have been a normal day enjoying the city 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.560 during abnormally warm weather. But in less than an hour, 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.080 their lives would drastically change as the pair would be 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.120 arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of the Mayor's Ome. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:18.440 What the f Why are you drawing this? What like 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.160 kind of interesting? What an interesting story here? Why didn't 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.000 you say they could have gone to Central Park and 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.360 fed ducks but their day took a turn. No, it 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.640 didn't take a turn. They went to New York to 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.200 throw bombs at people in the name of Allah a 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.960 couple of charities. Low what are you? Oh, my lord, 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:38.880 I almost dropped an F bomb and I wish I had. 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:40.200 That's something. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.800 Holy crap, that's one of the most extraordinary things I've 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:48.640 ever heard. What the hell? Framing them as something like 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:53.039 it's something that happened to them. They're hoping to get 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:58.039 tickets to Hamilton, but instead their day took a turn. 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:00.840 A lot of common It's like, am I the only 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.760 one getting the feeling? CNN and somehow trying to romanticize 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:11.840 this story. Yeah, more more accurately to adult radicalized Islamic 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:16.600 terrorists who had previously trained with ISIS through bombs at 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.880 peaceful protesters. That's a better first sentence or two. Oh, 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:26.280 that's entirely accurate. Good lord, I mean this is you know, look, 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.440 CNN ain't very popular these days, although we got a 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.000 great note from one of our favorite emailers pointing out 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.880 that these like CNN and MSNBC, I refuse to call 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.360 it its stupid new name. That's a good stance. Die 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:44.400 on that hill. They are watched by the intelligentsia and 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:49.560 the capital, and so they have like echoe second effect importance. 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.000 Yeah, yeah, that's true. 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.640 So anyway, I'm sorry, So I buried my own point. 0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:01.600 So CNN working that hard to deny is in the 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:05.320 US and its effects and it's radicalization and how widespread 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.679 it's becoming. That is a serious issue. 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.520 Yeah, let's start to show officially because Pete Hegseath just 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.520 wrapped up a press conference and there's a couple of 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.040 interesting notes to make. 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.120 Before we go to break and get Katie's headlines. 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.240 I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this it is 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.400 it's Tuesday, it is March the tenth of your twenty 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.400 twenty six Armstrong and getting and we approve of this program. Okay, 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.040 here we go officially according to FCC rules and regulations, 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:30.560 leaping into action at mark. 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:31.240 No. 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.640 I don't want to brag, but you know they said 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:35.600 this about a lot of things. 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.480 No, as the president could do some of this shit. 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:38.040 I'm doing. 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:39.360 No. 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:41.360 No as a pressing that. 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:44.880 I don't want to brag. 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:46.920 It's a funny, funny thing from Donald Trump. 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:48.480 I'm gonna be ironic. 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.400 Yeah, so two things want to mention real quick. Iran 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:56.360 fired rockets or missiles at Turkey again, and they were 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.439 intercepted by NATO planes. But man, if they ever get 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:03.360 something through Turkey. And then Erdowan, the dictator of Turkey, 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.400 threatened Iran saying we are not the old Turkey, you 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.200 better knock it off. So and that was before these 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.960 rockets got sent today. So I don't know what that means. 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.000 If Turkey's gonna say, you know, send in their own planes, 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.040 they don't. They don't have to put up with that. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.960 There's no no obligation to put up with that outside 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.640 of NATO planes shooting that stuff down. Also, Pete Hegseath 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:29.200 just said, this is going to be the biggest day 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:30.160 of bombing yet. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.880 Today Today is going to be the biggest day of bombing. 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.560 Yeah, I know. The plan is to further dismantle the 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.080 security apparatus if they can. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.199 Well, uh, Iran basically has no military at this point 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.800 fifty According to Pete, just a few minutes ago, we've 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.040 sunk completely destroyed fifty plus of their ships and their 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.360 navy fifty. 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:56.040 Yeah, they still got guys with guns, which you know, 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.600 from our perspective, their military is gone. It's decimated mostly 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.079 from the perspective of regime change or the people of 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.320 the country, it's still plenty lethal. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:06.079 Yeah. 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.280 Decimated is actually it gets thrown around like it's not 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:10.120 a term. 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:11.080 Of arts, but it is. 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.960 It's or it originally was as a military term desi, 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:19.440 as in a tenth of or ten ten times. Once 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.560 you get the military down to a tenth of its strength, 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.199 no longer can do anything to you, So it's decimated, 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.840 but it can do something to its own people certainly, 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.760 Like you said, a tenth of an army can do 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.040 a lot of harm to unarmed civilians. 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:33.200 Oh hell yeah. 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:33.600 Yeah. 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:38.520 Ask the twenty thirty forty thousand who are in heaven 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.360 or hell right now wishing they'd waited a little while 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.920 this demonstrate But this is going to be the most 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.920 intense bombing today. Holy crap. Apparently they're not running out 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.320 of targets, said, they have many more targets to go. 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:51.240 Let's do it. 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:52.040 Yeah, let's do it. 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.120 Can we got Katy's headlines on the way, Stay here, 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.680 how could to day be the biggest day of bombing yet? 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.840 By the way, who knew there was a government shutdown 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.839 still going on? Raise your hands? I didn't. 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:09.560 But yeah, DHS of all departments is we've got terrorists 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:13.240 chucking bombs and a threat from Iran. Come on, now, 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.800 come on, all right, let's figure out who's reporting what. 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.560 It's the lead story with Katie Green and Katie all. 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:22.040 Right, Starting with Fox News, Hegzett says Russia should not 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.440 be involved in Iran, says Trump had a good call 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:29.520 with Putin. NBC. Trump says Iran warwell and soon, but 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.679 issues threats that could prolong it. And CNN Trump administration 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:38.160 starts to panic over rapidly rising oil costs due to 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:39.439 Iran conflict. 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.640 Yeah, which I think is why he went out yesterday 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.000 and said that's gonna We've we've mostly done everything we 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.880 need to do, and oil immediately dropped based on that. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.760 So I think that was the point of the press conference. Yeah, 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.240 I think panic might be a little bit strong. I mean, 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.679 everybody knew that this conflict would cause the rise and 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:56.400 oil prices. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.040 Benjamin Nett and Yahoo might be panicking over the idea 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.880 of you're just you're gonna call Okay. 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.160 I thought we were gonna you know what we talked about. No. 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:12.160 From the Washington Post spring Break travel may be chaos 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:14.800 due to what you guys were just talking about the 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.800 shutdown causing TSA shortages. 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:18.559 Yeah. 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.480 Yeah, did you see any of the coverage of the 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.120 lines at the airport. That's that's not good. That's gonna 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.480 hit people where they hurt. And old Chucky Schumer better recalculate, 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.480 but quick. I'm glad I ain't going nowhere. 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:35.120 From the New York Times, Anthropic sues the Pentagon over 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.960 quote supply chain risk label. 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:45.120 Oh yeah, that whole dispute rages on New York Post. 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.720 Yamaha pulling out of California after a half a century 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.280 headquarters headed to Georgia. 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.000 Yeah, following a lot of companies and people. 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.920 From the Wall Street Journal, Trump is obsessed with these 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.840 one hundred and forty five dollars shoes and won't let 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:04.680 anyone leave without a pair. 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.439 What are they?

He says, what are you 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.760 about a ten? Ten and a half I got some 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.160 shoes for you, and he'll order them for him.

Okay, But the funny thing 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:30.200 is everybody in the inner circle and like one circle 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.080 outside it is terrified to come to work not wearing 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.000 those shoes. Sure, because you'll notice, Oh you didn't like 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:37.960 the floor shims. Oh no, I loved him. I just 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.000 decided to go with some of the shoes.

Like the next day is 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.520 agent's got to say, dude, you're keeping your your gap 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.920 for a while, all right, that's your brand?

This one 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.200 from study fines taking a daily multi vitamin might help 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.440 slow how fast you age. 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.280 Well, that's what I'm trying to do the back and 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.680 forth on daily vitamins. It's like the back and forth 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.080 on coffee. I've just I take one, all right. I 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:37.600 don't care what you think. I don't care what the 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:39.400 latest udy says. Move on. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:45.160 And finally, this one from the Babylon Bee. Mom Donnie 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.240 condemns New Yorkers for making Muslims throw. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:48.920 Bombs at them. 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:53.880 Oh that's good. That is really good. That's pretty accurate. 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.800 That is often the tone of things. And you know, 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.400 among the other factors, I'd like to discuss. His wife, 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.120 who he it made loud noises the other day, is 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:07.040 not a public figure. His wife tweeted celebrating the October 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.920 seventh Pilgrim against the Jews in Israel. The rapes and 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.840 the murders and the baby killings and the tortures and 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.560 the sexual mutilation and the machine gunning of kids at 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:23.760 a music festival for peace. She celebrated all of that. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.280 His wife, Come on, you. 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.560 Know what I took from the headlines. Actually, I should 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.720 probably get a daily vitamin. I don't take a daily vitamin. 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:33.280 Oh don't you. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:34.160 Yeah, I always have. 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.400 I don't take nothing. So I like not taking nothing 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.880 because I ain't got nothing to remember. Hmmm, makes it 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.880 very easy. You know, did I take my stuff today? 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.000 I did, because I don't take nothing. 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:47.840 Wow. Wow, you really you're really steering into the hiictalk today, 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.960 since you're really feeling your inner roube very appreciation. It 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:56.040 makes it very easy to live my life. It's like 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.920 the bargain I can never remember, was it Pascal or 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.320 somebody who's who had I might as well believe in 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.360 God because if there's no God, it doesn't make any difference, 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.400 and if there is, I'm in his good grace. It's 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.800 the dumb theory, which i'd like to explain at length. 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.720 Oh this year, I'd be delighted to listen. Ah. But 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.600 I've always felt that way about daily vitamins because every 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.680 doctor I've ever known has said, you know, it won't 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.000 do any harm and it might help. 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.440 So super ambivalent, Pascal, you believe in a god that 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:25.080 is like all mowing, all believing, omniscient, but like wouldn't 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.240 catch on to your ruse, doesn't know you're doing it 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.160 on faking it? 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:29.320 Old God? 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:30.280 What done? 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:33.120 Yeah? 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.600 I know, I know it's famous. It's a famous idea. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.000 I am. The headlines are everywhere on the whole. This 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.080 is going to be the biggest day of bombing yet 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:43.600 in Iran. Holy crap. 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.240 Anyway, if that starts to unfold while we're doing this show, 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.960 we'll talk you more about it. Trump is vowing serious 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:53.120 consequences if Iran doesn't start letting the oil flow through. 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:57.280 Some French ships in US ships are saying they're going 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.440 to escort you know, oil tankers through the streets or 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:01.880 four moves you fire on those zone. 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.600 You got a real big mess going now. I despise 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.240 the regime in Tehran, but if I heard, if you 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.320 don't stop that, there'll be serious consequences. I'm looking around 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:14.959 and saying more serious than this, No kidding, this seems 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:18.520 pretty serious. That's a good point. Okay, we got more 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:19.240 on the way. 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:22.840 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.720 If I got this right, Yes, we're smart enough to 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.320 event AI, dumb enough to need it, and so stupid 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:32.920 we can't figure out if we did the right thing. 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.160 Which there's an interesting conundrum around the world of AI. 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.480 There from Jerry Seinfeld. You know what, Uh, this happens 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.480 to me almost every day with voice texting. Maybe this 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.520 is a real simpleton's view of it, but I feel like, 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.200 AI is not going to take everybody's job as long 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:51.199 as when I'm voice texting on grock or just you know, 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.920 a text or whatever, and I'll like, for instance, I'll 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.960 say it was really nice, I was riding my motorcycle, 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.719 and it will hear writing my motorcycle. Well, sence, nobody 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:04.120 ever says I was writing my motorcycle, and they can 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:07.000 make the history of mankind and it can't figure out 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.720 out of context that I meant writing not writing. 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.560 I feel like we're safe. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.480 but until you can fix that, well, and I'm at 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.440 the two hundredth incidents of connect correcting tea time as 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.600 if I'm going to have a crumpet to and a 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.600 nice cup to tee time since I'm gonna have a 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.639 golfer and it hasn't figured me out yet. On the 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:31.320 other hand, they would say, yeah, that's that's the consumer pity, Paddley. 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:35.199 Why haven't they fixed that? If AI is psycher character, 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.680 if it's so easily used to replace, I would think 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:44.840 you could fix that. You're not wrong. Funny cover on 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:49.040 The Atlantic this month, The Atlantic magazine, which I actually 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:54.320 subscribed to before Jeffrey Goldberg's at the editor in chief. 0:18:54.560 --> 0:19:00.719 He fired Kevin Williamson, the terrific, very intelligent Ordery Texas Conservative, 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:05.120 before he had written a word, because his readers were 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.520 so aghast that he would hire a conservative of any 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:09.920 sort to soil the pages of The Atlantic. So I'd 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.800 subscribed to it before that and got the print edition. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.720 I quickly. I chose not to renew it, but they've 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.879 been sending it to me for free now for several years. Cool, 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.240 which I think, Well, it'd be cool if it wasn't 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:26.280 an obnoxious liberal rag. But she looks sophisticated having that 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.880 on your coffee table. Well, I wear a tuxedo every day. 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.960 I don't need that, and spats no. But it's occasionally, 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.080 like once every other month it has a really really 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.879 good interesting thing piece. But anyway, the cover this month 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:43.080 is funny. It's a like a sci fi cartoon of 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:48.000 a robot shooting death lasers out of its eyes, burning 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:52.480 a city down, and the two cartoon people on the 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.560 front are looking at it, and the one says, on 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.439 the other hand, I'm more productive than I've ever been, right, 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.720 And the headline is how AI I will affect the 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.280 world of work or something like that. And I thought 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.400 that was a really good illustration of where we are. 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:07.840 And you know, as Jerry Seinfeld indicated with AI. 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:11.120 Yeah, to counter my own point, I did read a 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:15.640 blog piece last night by a guy who was a 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.840 software dude, made software, wrote code and said he had 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:24.200 spent ten years, so he must have been like, wait, twenties. 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.400 It'd spent ten years in the industry, you know, perfecting 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:30.600 his craft, getting good at it, thinking he was set 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.520 for life, and now he's not needed at all, and 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:34.480 we'll never be able to get a job doing that again. 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:36.360 Yeah, yeah, that's rough. 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:40.000 And that something came out of nowhere too. A couple 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.880 of other notes about AI, one of which is extremely 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:47.960 important and impactful and outlines or highlights are really sensitive 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:51.040 problem we have, and then the other one just OMFG, 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:54.320 so stay tuned for that one. The first one is 0:20:54.600 --> 0:21:01.000 that whole anthropic standoff with the Pentagon, and that's it 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:06.359 highlights an incredibly touchy question about fully autonomous systems used 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:11.680 for surveillance and or killing, and whether AI will respond 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:13.439 to the checks and balances we have built into our 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.359 system to protect our rights. And also did not become 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:20.400 a monstrous country that kills people willing nearly all over 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:22.840
