Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 3: When I see that scene that I saw in today
Speaker 3: with people coming out of helicopters and airplanes that are emaciated,
Speaker 3: that look like they haven't had a meal in a month,
Speaker 3: no reason for that.
Speaker 2: And I don't know how much longer we can take it.
Speaker 4: You want to recast, I don't know how.
Speaker 2: Long we can take it.
Speaker 3: When I watch people that were healthy people a reasonably
Speaker 3: short number of years.
Speaker 2: Ago and you look at them today, they look like
Speaker 2: they've aged twenty five years.
Speaker 3: They literally look like the old pictures of holocausts.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing, I mean, the same thing.
Speaker 2: And I don't know how long we're gonna take that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was Donald Trump on Air Force One where
Speaker 1: he's doing something that other presidents haven't done, where he's
Speaker 1: been having people come back in his little cabin where
Speaker 1: he's basically got his I'm the President desk in Air
Speaker 1: Force One and the press doesn't usually go in there,
Speaker 1: but he's been taking questions. And then when he got
Speaker 1: to the Oval Office, he was asked about, Well, I
Speaker 1: guess we should bring you up to speed on this.
Speaker 1: So maybe you saw the videos over the weekend of
Speaker 1: Jummas releasing some hostages while they taunted them and made
Speaker 1: them thank them.
Speaker 2: Thank their captors.
Speaker 1: Before they turned them over to the Israelis, and the hostages,
Speaker 1: as Trump just said, there looked like they were Holocaust victims.
Speaker 1: They weren't treated very well. You got all kinds of
Speaker 1: health problems or anything like that. Then, yes, the abused
Speaker 1: denied medical care. And it's shocking to me.
Speaker 5: Started to interrupt the soft peddling of the fact that
Speaker 5: Hamas has murdered or allowed to die of their wounds
Speaker 5: or beat to death or whatever. A bunch of the hostages.
Speaker 5: They were alive. Now they're dead. Well, I hope we
Speaker 5: can get their bodies back. Wait a minute, how do
Speaker 5: you jump to that. I'm on the treatment of all
Speaker 5: the women. I mean, good lord, but yesterday Hamas announced
Speaker 5: they were.
Speaker 1: Backing out of the ceasefire agreement, claiming Israel wasn't giving
Speaker 1: enough aid or something like that. This is the way
Speaker 1: they jerk things around all the time, Always have, always
Speaker 1: will until they're all dead, which hopefully will be soon.
Speaker 1: But Trump was asked about this sort of threat in
Speaker 1: the Oval Office, and he clarified a bit.
Speaker 6: Well, I would say this, and I'm going to let
Speaker 6: that because that's Israel's decision. But as far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 6: if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday at
Speaker 6: twelve o'clock, I think it's an appropriate time. I would say,
Speaker 6: cancel it, and all bets are off, let hell break out.
Speaker 3: I'd say they ought to be returned by twelve o'clock
Speaker 3: on Saturday. And if they're not returned, all of them,
Speaker 3: not in drips and drafts, not two and one and
Speaker 3: three and four and two through Saturday at twelve o'clock,
Speaker 3: and after that, I would say, all hell is going
Speaker 3: to break out.
Speaker 1: So I came across this. Practically nobody hates Trump more
Speaker 1: than our friend Tim Sanderford. But Tim retweeted somebody saying
Speaker 1: this about Trump's statements yesterday on that I'm so inured
Speaker 1: to four years of the democrats tolerance of, and often
Speaker 1: admiration for, Palestinian sadism and savagery that hearing someone makes simple,
Speaker 1: normal moral observations about gods of fields shocking and it
Speaker 1: shouldn't right no kidding.
Speaker 2: The Biden administration would.
Speaker 1: Never just say out loud, hey, those hostages were horrible,
Speaker 1: look like they've been tortured, What the hell right?
Speaker 2: Or you're bad guys or anything like that.
Speaker 1: There would have been no statement, or if there had
Speaker 1: been a statement, anything slightly condemning a Homas would have
Speaker 1: had to accompany something condemning of Israel, because you know,
Speaker 1: you got to balance it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, and it's weird. It's disturbing to me.
Speaker 5: I've been studying propaganda since I was a teenager, and
Speaker 5: it's almost anti propaganda the way the Biden administration pretended
Speaker 5: things were not a problem, and the rest of us
Speaker 5: would look at things and say, oh my god, that's outrageous,
Speaker 5: that's horrifying. But they would either pretend it doesn't happen
Speaker 5: or say, well, we need to reach a ceasefire with
Speaker 5: these people. And their view was so wildly different than
Speaker 5: mine and probably yours. I'm guessing that you started to
Speaker 5: think out, am I out of line here or something?
Speaker 5: It was like propaganda by silence, if you know what
Speaker 5: I mean, the systematic soft pedaling of something till you
Speaker 5: saw it.
Speaker 2: I think this is horrific and outrageous, but nobody else
Speaker 2: seems to him. I nuts.
Speaker 1: I unfortunately think that was so driven by they think
Speaker 1: Twitter is the world and Columbia college campuses. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: college kids in Columbia. You know, boy, how if we
Speaker 1: say something mean about Hamas or point out how these
Speaker 1: hostages appear to be have been tortured, Well, that's going
Speaker 1: to make the college kids really angry.
Speaker 2: I really think that drove their messaging, which is the Currens.
Speaker 2: Yeah it is. Yeah.
Speaker 5: The other aspect of this, to me that's just remains
Speaker 5: utterly mystifying. Is as the Wall Street Journal points out,
Speaker 5: that the two sides were supposed to have begun talks
Speaker 5: about the second phase agreement that would really lead to
Speaker 5: the release of all remaining hostages and the many many
Speaker 5: bodies of those were killed in captivity or died on
Speaker 5: October seventh, and an end to hostilities in Gaza. And
Speaker 5: I'm thinking, wait a minute, negotiations to end the hostilities
Speaker 5: in Gaza, which either call for the complete removal of
Speaker 5: Hamas like it's a tumor, or they are almost hilariously
Speaker 5: doomed to fail. There can be no successful negotiation did
Speaker 5: include Moss. There's zero goodwill October seventh is like, what's
Speaker 5: the opposite of good will? People who continue to talk
Speaker 5: about negotiations for an end to hostilities?
Speaker 2: I seriously don't understand you at all.
Speaker 1: Well, like I said yesterday, making those hostages who you've
Speaker 1: kept for a year and a half and tortured and
Speaker 1: killed a whole bunch of their friends in front of them,
Speaker 1: thank you for your captivity before you hand them over
Speaker 1: a few people. Screw y'all. The hell is coming noon
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Kill them all, every single one of them.
Speaker 5: And nobody has said this out loud, but we have,
Speaker 5: and I will again. The Israelis figured all right, let's
Speaker 5: see how how many hostages we can get back will
Speaker 5: participate in this farcical negotiation. We'll trade them hundreds of
Speaker 5: fighters and terrorists and murders for a few of our
Speaker 5: innocence and a handful of our soldiers. For as long
Speaker 5: as we can hold this shaky bastard together, it's going
Speaker 5: to break down, and when it does again, the wolf
Speaker 5: ass commences.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine how different the messinging would be on
Speaker 1: this If Kamala had won, it might actually have been
Speaker 1: the most consequential election of my lifetime.
Speaker 2: The way things have played out over the last three weeks.
Speaker 2: You're right, You're absolutely right. Oh my god, Well it's
Speaker 2: going to be something to see what happens. What do
Speaker 2: you guess?
Speaker 1: So I was watching Richard Haas this morning on MSNBC.
Speaker 1: He's their go to foreign policy expert because he ran
Speaker 1: the Council on Four Relations. Forever he thinks it's over,
Speaker 1: there's not going to be a Stage two violence will return.
Speaker 5: Like I said, I find the whole stage two thing
Speaker 5: utterly fanciful, just completely nuts. And nobody wants to say
Speaker 5: that out loud because that makes you sound like, well,
Speaker 5: I don't know what, like you don't value peace or
Speaker 5: your progenocide.
Speaker 2: Or something like that. No, I'm just looking at the
Speaker 2: forces aligned.
Speaker 5: It's like what I was saying, with utter confidence that
Speaker 5: Joe Biden couldn't possibly run for president again.
Speaker 2: Just it doesn't.
Speaker 5: Those dynamics here can't possibly yield what you are talking about.
Speaker 5: If you are talking about a negotiated, long term piece,
Speaker 5: Hamas is utterly uninterested in it.
Speaker 2: How do you not see that? I don't know.
Speaker 1: They say it over and over. Why don't you listen
Speaker 1: to them? Why don't you ask them they'll tell you.
Speaker 1: It's like anybody who talks about a two state solution,
Speaker 1: please leave the room. I do not want to talk
Speaker 1: to you if you're going to bring up that, because
Speaker 1: it shows me that you're not paying attention. Hamas doesn't
Speaker 1: want a two state solution.
Speaker 5: All right, this is realism versus what is the opposite
Speaker 5: or real There are some people who hear.
Speaker 2: The next stages are.
Speaker 5: Going to be horrible and very difficult to take as
Speaker 5: a human being, and they say, well, there's got to
Speaker 5: be a better way, and you point out, no, there's
Speaker 5: no solution here. And they say, but there's got to
Speaker 5: be a better way, and you say, what is it.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but there's got to be a better way.
Speaker 5: And then there are people who say this is miserable
Speaker 5: and it sucks, but we've got to do it. Those
Speaker 5: are the realists, and it's too bad, but the grown
Speaker 5: ups have got to be in charge. Or you know
Speaker 5: what you get. You get more killing and more death
Speaker 5: and more misery and no future for the Palestinian people.
Speaker 5: That's what you get by pretending reality. The wolf of
Speaker 5: reality is not outside your door, you fools.
Speaker 1: Well, so sometimes there's a good guy and a bad
Speaker 1: guy or an evil guy that can't be changed, and
Speaker 1: the whole moral relativism trying to make both sides well
Speaker 1: they both have blame in this. It just ain't gonna work.
Speaker 5: I hate to resort to cliches. One more and then
Speaker 5: I'll let you wrap it up. But if Isra, if
Speaker 5: Hamas laid down its arms, there would be no more war.
Speaker 5: If Israel laid down its arms, there would be no
Speaker 5: more Israel.
Speaker 2: That's it. Yea.
Speaker 1: Somebody try to argue that that's not true, but that's not,
Speaker 1: just very simply true. I didn't expect Vince Neil of
Speaker 1: Motley Crue to be in the news today, but he is.
Speaker 1: I also want to talk about the big AI conference
Speaker 1: in Paris and a bunch of other stuff on the way.
Speaker 1: Stay here, I feel like I want the crew to
Speaker 1: go on for a little bit here before I get
Speaker 1: to the news item.
Speaker 2: I need to hear some singing Motley Crue ladies and Gemen.
Speaker 2: But fell differently, what's a little glout? It should be
Speaker 2: over a hardcore which one is? This is doctor Field,
Speaker 2: Doctor feels good.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, here's a little of the story, which is a
Speaker 1: very serious story that.
Speaker 7: Is registered to a company owned by Motley Crue lead
Speaker 7: singer Vince Neil. The rock star was not on the plane,
Speaker 7: but TMZ reports his girlfriend and their dogs were. She
Speaker 7: reported five broken ribs and is now recovering in the
Speaker 7: hospital along with a friend. She was traveling with a
Speaker 7: lawyer for Neil, saying mister Neil's thoughts and prayers go
Speaker 7: out to everyone involved.
Speaker 1: So lead singer for Motley Crue lying and his girlfriend
Speaker 1: and they're and some dogs, and they were involved in
Speaker 1: a plane crash. She got hurt and a person did die.
Speaker 1: So planes crashed into each other on the runway. They
Speaker 1: ran into each other, yes, Scottsdale, right, yeah, yeah, So anyway,
Speaker 1: I don't think you.
Speaker 5: Should have your lawyer say mister Neil's thoughts. Some prayers
Speaker 5: go out to the victims. I don't think Kate.
Speaker 2: Likes that this. Don't hire a lawyer to pray for you.
Speaker 1: It's it's just it's interesting how news works because it's
Speaker 1: a deadly plane crash, but it would not make the news.
Speaker 1: Runway lear jet bumps into another plane, I don't think.
Speaker 1: But and he wasn't there or anything but a well
Speaker 1: known rock star to the target. Demo of the news
Speaker 1: world owns the plane, so it's a news story. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just interesting how news works. It hasn't affected my
Speaker 1: life much, and they got to and they got to
Speaker 1: put up on ABC or every other newscast. I've seen
Speaker 1: pictures of Vince Neil or Motley Crue when they had
Speaker 1: long hair back in the eighties and everything like that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Motley Crue. It's just you know, you got
Speaker 1: to have a hook for your stories.
Speaker 2: Is interesting the eighties.
Speaker 1: I guess if you unfortunately or injured or have a
Speaker 1: family member killed, hope it's done by a celebrity so
Speaker 1: it gets any attention.
Speaker 2: Otherwise it won't. I'm not sure I need any attention,
Speaker 2: but I see your point.
Speaker 5: So we were talking earlier about the miserable state of
Speaker 5: government schools and the bloat and the waist, and how
Speaker 5: weirdly in this society you have the left it's calling
Speaker 5: for wild radical change, like there's no such thing as
Speaker 5: a man and a woman.
Speaker 2: Nothing could be more fundamental.
Speaker 5: I mean, given the fact that the entire animal kingdom
Speaker 5: where there is sexual reproduction, has males and females, and
Speaker 5: everybody knows it, and don't bring up some damn starfish
Speaker 5: to me, unless you're a starfish anyway. So while they're
Speaker 5: insisting on just bizarro radical change, they also act as if,
Speaker 5: and we've seen this.
Speaker 2: During the Doge period of recent days, you.
Speaker 5: Also see this just frantic screeching, clinging to the status
Speaker 5: quo which must never change.
Speaker 2: It's really kind of odd if you think about it.
Speaker 5: But specifically in terms of schools, we made a brief
Speaker 5: reference to this about Fairfax County schools, right outside of Washington,
Speaker 5: d C. One of my offspring happened to attend college
Speaker 5: in beautiful fair Facts, so I know it fairly well.
Speaker 5: It's very affluent and very woke, very blue. And Fairfax
Speaker 5: County schools have been involved in a number of super
Speaker 5: ultra woke controversies and lawsuits in recent years, including persecuting
Speaker 5: anybody who came to the school board meetings and said, hey,
Speaker 5: I don't think guys should be playing girls' sports. Oh
Speaker 5: my god, you would be hounded out of your job,
Speaker 5: your community. You could barely, you know, walk the streets
Speaker 5: of Fairfax without getting yelled at and screeched at. Anyway,
Speaker 5: that's Fairfax for me, Fairfax County Public schools. It turns
Speaker 5: out seventy nine year old's retired attorney in Fairfax County.
Speaker 5: You had the time and the intelligence and the connections
Speaker 5: to do this on earthed startling documents through a public
Speaker 5: records request detailing the price tag for salaries of fifty
Speaker 5: two employees in the chief Equity office of Fairfax Public Schools.
Speaker 2: No, boy, embracing myself, let's start there.
Speaker 5: They have fifty two employees in their chief equity office
Speaker 5: at one school, one school district, six point four million
Speaker 5: dollars a year, or enough to pay about one hundred
Speaker 5: and twenty five new teachers.
Speaker 1: Why would you possibly need fifty people to do that?
Speaker 1: And the job the program is why the.
Speaker 5: Chief equity officer makes two hundred and sixty thousand dollars
Speaker 5: annually highest salary in the department, more than the salary
Speaker 5: of the vice president and all the congresspeople and senators
Speaker 5: in that area.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: The highest salary goes to the person running the DEI
Speaker 1: department at your school district. Wow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it just And again the figure is you could
Speaker 5: hire one hundred and twenty five new teachers to tutor
Speaker 5: the kids startling struggling and reading and math. But no,
Speaker 5: instead you have this bloated fing DEI office that accomplishes
Speaker 5: nothing but pits people against each other by race. It
Speaker 5: is obscene. So I agree one hundred percent that culture wise,
Speaker 5: conservatism has had the best month.
Speaker 2: That we've had in fifty years. We have miles to
Speaker 2: go before we sleep.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it almost makes me shudder to think
Speaker 1: if we'd have been able to, had been forced to
Speaker 1: go another four years down that road where it would
Speaker 1: have been so entrenched.
Speaker 2: He might not ever get it out. I know it's
Speaker 2: chilling to even consider it.
Speaker 5: So Trump, for all his excesses, and again I say,
Speaker 5: our checks and balances and systems will rain in his excesses,
Speaker 5: and we're all gonna be fine, given how the powers
Speaker 5: of progressivism were all aligned, including the media and academy
Speaker 5: and the rest of it. Yeah, they could have dragged
Speaker 5: us so far down in the hole we never would
Speaker 5: have gotten out.
Speaker 1: Here's a new trend in the corporate world. Joe Company
Speaker 1: sanctioned sex days could be coming paid time off to
Speaker 1: get freaky boosts productivity and workplace loyalty research fines.
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: We got a bunch of interesting stuff on the way,
Speaker 1: including in New York Times with their It seems like
Speaker 1: once a week opinion piece on is now a good
Speaker 1: time to bring children into this world? Which I always
Speaker 1: find hilarious, among other things. On the Way on the
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Giddy Show, Armstrong and getdy.
Speaker 5: Kedrick Lamar's halftime show drew criticism from fans, who called
Speaker 5: it the worst halftime ever.
Speaker 1: It was so bad Jimmy Carter came back to life
Speaker 1: just to turn off the TV.
Speaker 2: What I kind of missed the setup? I How did
Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter end up in there?
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, Greg, fabulous ratings.
Speaker 2: I feel like that was a stretch. Lane's George h
Speaker 2: so oh oh oh. I need to mention this very briefly.
Speaker 5: Congresswoman Nancy Mace Cutie South Carolina, uh, just gave a
Speaker 5: speech last night on the House floor, very long, impassioned,
Speaker 5: explicit about her and other women's sexual assault and exploitation
Speaker 5: and abuse at the hands of her ex fiancee. She
Speaker 5: named names in Congress practically yes, a police report in Congress.
Speaker 5: Just shocking. We'll have the details for you coming up
Speaker 5: next segment. Why did she do it on the House floor?
Speaker 5: Don't know, Okay, stay tuned for that. I read a
Speaker 5: lot about AI. We talk a lot about AH.
Speaker 1: A lot of the smartest people in the world think
Speaker 1: it's going to be among the biggest things that's ever
Speaker 1: happened to human beings. I mean, if they're even half right,
Speaker 1: it's worth discussing. If they're right right, then it practically
Speaker 1: should be the only thing we're discussing. I mean, if
Speaker 1: it's going to be as big as fire or the Internet,
Speaker 1: as people have projected.
Speaker 2: So they're having a big conference in Paris.
Speaker 1: And all your big AI names are there, are many
Speaker 1: of them from Google and Open AI. And Elon's not
Speaker 1: there because he's busy trying to take over America and
Speaker 1: ruin it for all good people. Or he's unelected, but
Speaker 1: he's got a representative there because he's a big player
Speaker 1: in AI obviously, and President of India's there. Macrone was
Speaker 1: there for this speech a little bit you're about to hear.
Speaker 1: Trump didn't go because he's busy ruining America for all good,
Speaker 1: hard working government workers.
Speaker 2: He was elected. JD.
Speaker 1: Vance was there and this is what he said in
Speaker 1: front of all those people. Now this is another one
Speaker 1: of those I can picture what Vice President Harris would
Speaker 1: have said if she'd have been given a speech and
Speaker 1: for all these people, and about how it's all all
Speaker 1: of us working together to advance human beings in a
Speaker 1: safe and meaningful way.
Speaker 2: This is what Jade Vance says.
Speaker 8: We invite your countries to work with us and to
Speaker 8: follow that model if it makes sense for your nations. However,
Speaker 8: the Trump administration is trouble by reports that some foreign
Speaker 8: governments are considering tightening the screws on US tech companies
Speaker 8: with international footprints. Now America cannot and will not accept that.
Speaker 1: JD Van standing up there in front of everybody and
Speaker 1: saying we are not going to go along with your regulations,
Speaker 1: and we're the leaders in AI, you're gonna hamstring us,
Speaker 1: and without saying it out loud, with the obvious part
Speaker 1: being and Russia and China and North Koreina and some
Speaker 1: four hundred pound guy in his bed are.
Speaker 5: Gonna do whatever the hell they want, right right. Meanwhile
Speaker 5: we're dancing to the EUS tune.
Speaker 2: Why right?
Speaker 1: But that was not a go along to get along,
Speaker 1: and we and Great Britain have not signed on to
Speaker 1: some accord that promises what was the phrase, it's one
Speaker 1: of your common phrases, some sort of diversity thing, but
Speaker 1: it's not the word diversity, but something like that that promises,
Speaker 1: you know, to be sure that you have the right
Speaker 1: numb of this kind of person and that kind of
Speaker 1: person in every AI company whatever.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just ridiculous. That'd be like going to.
Speaker 1: Los Alamos in nineteen forty four in Tel n Oppenheimer.
Speaker 1: We got to have Sorry, we're shutting the whole thing down.
Speaker 1: No more race to get the bomb. We got way
Speaker 1: too many white guys here, we do. We need to bipoc,
Speaker 1: we need women, we need all these different people, and
Speaker 1: then you can start back up trying to get the
Speaker 1: atomic weapon before Hitler does. I mean, it's just nuts
Speaker 1: that people even think that sort of thing. Of course,
Speaker 1: the countries that sign on to it, they got practically
Speaker 1: no AI program whatsoever, and they're never going to be
Speaker 1: the leader of anything.
Speaker 5: But we are, Oh goodness sakes, and I've got I
Speaker 5: can't restrain myself in the same side that's insisting on
Speaker 5: shutting it down in the name of equity, and what
Speaker 5: you were just describing is making it completely impossible to
Speaker 5: reform America's public schools.
Speaker 2: Anyway, back to.
Speaker 1: You, here's what's interesting though, So I'm watching that, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: so that you know, minority kids of whatever stripe would
Speaker 1: be qualified to participate in all the great tech stuff
Speaker 1: of the future. So they did this story on MSNBC
Speaker 1: This Morning, Watching Morning, Joe and cute Mika and Willie
Speaker 1: Geist were clearly shaking their heads horrified. Jd Vance's America
Speaker 1: first belligerents around AI, and they turned to their foreign
Speaker 1: policy expert Richard Haas for his opinion on this.
Speaker 7: What do you make of the stance that the Vice
Speaker 7: President was putting out there, especially about the regulation of AI.
Speaker 2: I think he's onto something.
Speaker 9: I simply don't think AI lends itself to regulation. Let
Speaker 9: me give you one image. With the nuclear weapons United
Speaker 9: States and the Soviet Union had them. We had arms
Speaker 9: control because nuclear weapons were basically in two hands, very large,
Speaker 9: concentrated efforts to build them.
Speaker 2: AI is so different.
Speaker 9: Distributed, decentralized dozens of companies in the United States and
Speaker 9: around the world. So the idea of that work, and.
Speaker 4: It seemed like the one thing that really needs to
Speaker 4: be regulated given the potential.
Speaker 9: Well, the problem is, first of all, how do you
Speaker 9: regulate the bad sides and not the good sides? Two
Speaker 9: decides how do you somehow discriminate China's and others aren't
Speaker 9: going to want to do it. There's too much economic
Speaker 9: upside here in Meka, potentially too much strategic and military upside.
Speaker 9: You can't regulate things when they're in a stage of
Speaker 9: fast development. They have to reach plateaus.
Speaker 2: AI is not going to reach a plateau. It's going
Speaker 2: to keep moving.
Speaker 9: I simply don't think the nature of the beast lends
Speaker 9: itself to regulation.
Speaker 1: And then Willie Geist says on MSNBC, so, what is
Speaker 1: this just going to be the wild West where people do.
Speaker 2: Whatever they want? And we're Claus said, yes.
Speaker 1: Yes it is, because there's nothing you can do to
Speaker 1: regulate it.
Speaker 2: Let's all grow up here people. I do really, I
Speaker 2: do feel like I really really believe this.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just like getting so neurotic and paranoid as
Speaker 1: I get older.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think we are on the precipice of the world
Speaker 1: becoming so different we can't even hardly recognize it within
Speaker 1: ten years because of AI think that's entirely possible, and
Speaker 1: it's going to be swaths of the world, and it's
Speaker 1: going to be more downside than upside. But I don't
Speaker 1: think there's anything you can do about it. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: just going to be the wild West. Yes, it is.
Speaker 1: The wild West was the wild West because until there
Speaker 1: was enough law enforcement or order that you could put upon.
Speaker 2: It, that's the way it was gonna be. You didn't
Speaker 2: have any choice. And that's the way.
Speaker 5: I had time to watch the man who shot Liberty
Speaker 5: balance tonight, the greatest metaphor ever for the Taming of
Speaker 5: the West. Anyway, you know here, let me interpret that conversation,
Speaker 5: let me translate it for you. And this is continuing
Speaker 5: our theme throughout the day today thus far realists versus
Speaker 5: non realists. So Mika says, I wish they could regulate
Speaker 5: this in a way so it doesn't get bad, and
Speaker 5: Richard Hass says there's not a way, and Mika says,
Speaker 5: I wish there was.
Speaker 2: He says, but there's not.
Speaker 5: And Willie Geist says, you know, I really wish there was,
Speaker 5: and Has says there's not. That's what happened in that conversation.
Speaker 5: I wish you we could is not an argument. It's
Speaker 5: not an intelligent stance. I mean, it's fine to fel that,
Speaker 5: but it's not I feel their argument. I feel that
Speaker 5: great no, no, no, Mika, Mika, it's decentralized. There are
Speaker 5: dozens of players scattered across the globe. I wish we
Speaker 5: could regulate them. Oh, fee, I, you're a nice lady,
Speaker 5: but you and your you can't be in charge well.
Speaker 2: And then getting back to sort of the politics of it.
Speaker 5: Especially not a nice lady, she's mean as a snake
Speaker 5: called spade space.
Speaker 1: Getting back to the politics of it where you know,
Speaker 1: everybody wants to make Trump and JD vancel look evil,
Speaker 1: you know, saying yeah he's onto something.
Speaker 2: Him standing up there and saying, look.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna put regulations on us, because we know
Speaker 1: how that's gonna play out is a much better approach.
Speaker 1: And again, try to picture Kamala Harrison what she would
Speaker 1: have said, some sort of we're all in this together, global,
Speaker 1: one world thingy that.
Speaker 5: Would have been when we work together together, we can
Speaker 5: work together rice to leave behind what has been.
Speaker 1: And whatever she said might very well have got a
Speaker 1: standing ovation there, but it would have been crap.
Speaker 2: It would have been no reality. It would have been
Speaker 2: not what's gonna actually happen.
Speaker 1: So how abouts that up there and say, look, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna regulate us we're the leaders in this.
Speaker 2: We're gonna stay the leaders in this. Uh.
Speaker 5: Good, you people who hear the I wish and say
Speaker 5: I wish too. That was a great speech. We all
Speaker 5: wish and think you've offered humanity anything.
Speaker 2: I seriously don't get you. Trust me.
Speaker 1: I believe this to my bones too. You're better off
Speaker 1: with the United States being the leader in AI than
Speaker 1: China or Russia or North Korea or whoever.
Speaker 5: You are seriously standing by the roadside looking at a
Speaker 5: flat tire saying I wish the tire wasn't flat, and
Speaker 5: then the other side of the aisle is gonna change
Speaker 5: the tire, and you're gonna say, but you got your
Speaker 5: hands dirty, and that's a waste of a tire. I
Speaker 5: wish the tire wasn't flat.
Speaker 2: Your child Lord save me. So this is crazy.
Speaker 5: Nancy Mace, Republican congresswoman South Carolina stunning House floor speech
Speaker 5: last night alleging sexual abuse, rape, voyeurism, madness by a
Speaker 5: group of men in a highly personal and incredibly unusual
Speaker 5: speech will bring you some of the I hate to
Speaker 5: say highlights, but you'll get the shape of it's it's craziness.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out is there a greater significance
Speaker 1: to this and why you'd bring it to the floor
Speaker 1: of Congress or is it just a personal beef.
Speaker 2: We need to talk about that. Okay, that's on the way.
Speaker 2: Stay here.

Speaker 5: Subscribe to Armstrong and Getty on demand. So last night,
Speaker 5: Representative Nancy Mayce, Republican South Carolina got up to do
Speaker 5: a speech and to the shop in amazement of the
Speaker 5: chamber and now everybody hearing it. She began quoting a
Speaker 5: bunch of Bible verses and some philosophical talk, and then
Speaker 5: that led to her main point. And we're going to
Speaker 5: let her speak for herself and fill in blanks as
Speaker 5: we need to. But this is Nancy makes last night
Speaker 5: on the floor of the House.
Speaker 4: Today, I'm going to free myself from the monster who
Speaker 4: broke me. Today, I'm going to free other women who
Speaker 4: fell prey to the same man. Today I will free
Speaker 4: other women further from a group of men who committed
Speaker 4: the most evil acts against them. I want every woman
Speaker 4: and girl to know in the country you have a friend,
Speaker 4: and you have a sister and me and I will
Speaker 4: fight like hell for you every day of the week.
Speaker 2: She goes on.
Speaker 4: When I uncovered evidence of rape and the illegal filming
Speaker 4: of women and sex trafficking, I didn't just see victims.
Speaker 4: I saw a system that failed to protect them. I
Speaker 4: saw criminals who thought they could get away with it
Speaker 4: because no one had the guts, no one had the courage,
Speaker 4: no one had the bravery to hold them accountable. Because
Speaker 4: we are filled with cowards. I will burn this system
Speaker 4: to the ground if.
Speaker 2: I have to.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay, I'm I stayed out of you and
Speaker 1: Hanson talking about this right because I wanted to not
Speaker 1: know what's going on, so i'd be in a place
Speaker 1: of the listener here and you still don't when they.
Speaker 5: Say the very words in my mouth were you're asking yourself,
Speaker 5: what is she talking all?
Speaker 2: Specific's what I was going to ask.
Speaker 1: Did was there a lead up to that where the
Speaker 1: people sitting there know what the context is? Or is
Speaker 1: she like me where I'm thinking this is a very
Speaker 1: serious topic but what the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 5: Well, right, exactly, and I'm glad we're in the same place.
Speaker 5: I was just about to say, hang with it, because
Speaker 5: we're experiencing it like the House of Representatives experienced, and
Speaker 5: the context will come as.
Speaker 2: We go, which is a little odd, I get. But
Speaker 2: roll on, Michael.
Speaker 4: When you incapacitate women, it's against the law. When you
Speaker 4: sexually assault women, it's called rape. If you film women
Speaker 4: naked without their knowledge, without their permission, and without their consent,
Speaker 4: it's called voyeurism, and it makes you a peeping tom,
Speaker 4: and it is illegal. When you and your business partners
Speaker 4: like these all business partners, When you and your business
Speaker 4: partners pay each other and you sexually abuse women, it's
Speaker 4: called sex trafficking, and it is against the law, and
Speaker 4: by definition makes you a sex trafficker.
Speaker 5: Now here we go, it becomes clear she's talking about
Speaker 5: her ex fiancee and his business partners, and on the
Speaker 5: house of the floor of the house she names names to.
Speaker 4: Eric Bowman, Patrick Bryant, Brian Musgrave and John Osborne. You
Speaker 4: have bought yourself a one way ticket to hell. It
Speaker 4: is NonStop. There are no connections.
Speaker 5: So I.
Speaker 4: And all of your victims can watch you rot for
Speaker 4: an eternity.
Speaker 5: So in the next clip, which was very long and
Speaker 5: we had to shorten, she describes how somebody sent her
Speaker 5: a screen capture of her fiance profile on a dating site,
Speaker 5: and she demanded access to his phone. He put it
Speaker 5: in a safe. Then she somehow got legal access to
Speaker 5: his phone what is that? And found multiple pictures of
Speaker 5: and not like downloaded, but having been taken by that phone,
Speaker 5: of women, including what appeared to be at least one
Speaker 5: underaged girl, And then she describes finding videos of herself.
Speaker 4: I saw another video of another woman who was undressed,
Speaker 4: clearly on a camera, unaware she was being filmed. She
Speaker 4: was slender, and she had long brown hair. I turned
Speaker 4: up the volume to hear if there was audio. I
Speaker 4: heard my voice.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: I zoomed in on the video and that woman was me.
Speaker 4: My entire body was paralyzed and I couldn't move where
Speaker 4: my feet on the floor. Was I breathing? I have
Speaker 4: no idea. I could feel pain shooting out of my heart,
Speaker 4: out of my chest, dropped straight down to the floor
Speaker 4: like I was in a nose dive. The pain running
Speaker 4: through my veins wouldn't stop. Time was suspended for a moment.
Speaker 4: This monster stole my body. It felt like I had
Speaker 4: been raped.
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like she was.
Speaker 1: So she was drugged and raped by her own husband,
Speaker 1: fiance fiance, but and was completely unaware of it. Apparently
Speaker 1: well right, She made vague references to women being drugged
Speaker 1: and raped and and surveilled in videotapes without their knowledge,
Speaker 1: which she got specific is about she as far as
Speaker 1: I know, she wasn't specific about who got raped when exactly,
Speaker 1: although it was a very very long speech and we're
Speaker 1: just getting excerpts.
Speaker 2: Worth pointing out.
Speaker 5: That provision of the Constitution, which you may have heard of,
Speaker 5: known as the Speech and Debate Clause, gives members of
Speaker 5: Congress broad protection from prosecution for what they say while
Speaker 5: performing legislative duties. And her office put out a statement
Speaker 5: saying everything she said is protected. They are not conjecture,
Speaker 5: they are not allegations. They are facts based on information
Speaker 5: she uncovered and documents she accidentally discovered. But she also
Speaker 5: heavily criticized South Carolina Attorney general.
Speaker 1: But like, is this a full on? She's gone to
Speaker 1: the cops and pressed charges and all this stuff, and
Speaker 1: then she talks about it on the floor.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The South Carolina Department of Investigations, whatever the proper name is,
Speaker 5: you get the idea, says we have a substantial file
Speaker 5: on this case and will disclose the particulars when it's appropriate.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Wow, that would be something to check videos in the
Speaker 1: phone and then you finally figure out it's you.
Speaker 2: Wait a second, that's me.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Boy, this case is going to be heard about for
Speaker 5: a long time. I have a feeling.
