WEBVTT - I Can't Take Being Poor Again! 0:00:01.850 --> 0:00:05.700 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:05.740 --> 0:00:10.770 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong 0:00:10.820 --> 0:00:17.250 and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.410 Humanoid robots in China are breaking human records for speed, 0:00:28.990 --> 0:00:31.050 running 100 meter faster than. 0:00:30.970 --> 0:00:32.350 Sprinter Usain Bolt. 0:00:33.430 --> 0:00:37.460 At the humanoid games, machines big and small also compete 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.340 in events where they hit hard and jump high. The 0:00:40.420 --> 0:00:44.060 event in its second year being promoted heavily by China's 0:00:44.100 --> 0:00:47.570 government and shows how getting ahead in robotics is a 0:00:47.630 --> 0:00:48.970 national priority here. 0:00:50.070 --> 0:00:52.650 Well, at least they don't have AI brains. I'm sorry, 0:00:52.690 --> 0:00:56.480 the control room is talking to me. Oh, my God. 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.820 China working as fast and as hard as they can 0:00:59.900 --> 0:01:06.450 to have AI-driven, guided superhuman robots. 0:01:06.590 --> 0:01:10.330 Well, for some reason, the most disturbing one recently I've 0:01:10.350 --> 0:01:11.950 heard is when they talked about, I think it was 0:01:11.970 --> 0:01:16.000 that same report, that they're testing them in extreme cold 0:01:16.030 --> 0:01:19.420 and extreme heat. I mean, you ain't doing that just 0:01:19.459 --> 0:01:21.840 because you want to display how your robot can run 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:22.440 really fast. 0:01:22.700 --> 0:01:26.610 No, no, no. You're building super soldiers. Yeah. 0:01:26.850 --> 0:01:29.350 And that's horrifying. Now we all, you've probably seen the 0:01:29.370 --> 0:01:31.950 video of the sprinters then running into the wall and 0:01:32.050 --> 0:01:34.450 flipping over on their backs like turtles and their legs 0:01:34.510 --> 0:01:35.090 flailing around. 0:01:35.130 --> 0:01:37.570 But I'm sure they'll get that worked out. Well, and 0:01:37.610 --> 0:01:41.270 if they have 5,000 coming at you in your position, then, 0:01:41.310 --> 0:01:42.890 you know, the one that runs into a tree is... 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.319 briefly amusing uh let's uh continue on a couple of 0:01:47.420 --> 0:01:51.200 other accounts of where we are in this situation 50. 0:01:50.780 --> 0:01:54.090 Michael china's made embodied ai which is essentially ai in 0:01:54.130 --> 0:01:56.850 a physical body a national priority and the government has 0:01:56.890 --> 0:02:00.550 backed research training centers and real world testing as so 0:02:00.590 --> 0:02:03.210 many chinese universities and companies have raced to build better 0:02:03.350 --> 0:02:06.720 robot bodies and even smarter robot brains. 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.720 To help build cars right next clip. 0:02:10.910 --> 0:02:15.260 Engineer Yang Kun says this robot has other real-life capabilities. 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.160 It can also do some combat and maybe go into 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:18.860 the military. 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.910 How far away are we from having robot soldiers? 0:02:22.450 --> 0:02:24.149 I think five to ten years. 0:02:25.030 --> 0:02:29.750 The fact that most news reports never mention that is hilarious. 0:02:30.270 --> 0:02:32.290 Of course, we did, we taught, we beat up David 0:02:32.330 --> 0:02:34.790 Muir of ABC last week. That should have been a scandal. 0:02:35.330 --> 0:02:35.510 Yes. 0:02:35.630 --> 0:02:38.180 That should have been the damn scandal that David Muir 0:02:38.300 --> 0:02:42.200 actually goes to China to watch the robots do their 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.060 thing and talks up how amazing the robots are. Look 0:02:45.100 --> 0:02:48.280 how high this one can jump. And don't have anybody 0:02:48.419 --> 0:02:52.440 on to say... You know, there are military capabilities or 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.580 aspects to this whole story. And then the fact that 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.060 this company, their IPO released the next day at a 0:02:59.100 --> 0:03:03.030 super high. So ABC did an ad for a Chinese company, 0:03:03.130 --> 0:03:05.210 which means you're doing it for the Chinese Communist Party 0:03:05.230 --> 0:03:07.630 because they're all tied together. ABC didn't add for a 0:03:07.710 --> 0:03:11.480 Chinese company touting their robots and didn't even brush up 0:03:11.540 --> 0:03:12.000 against the. 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.820 Topic of the military use. Didn't even have a five 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.260 second clip of some academic saying, on the other hand, 0:03:17.300 --> 0:03:19.720 this is clearly dual uses. It could be employed by them. 0:03:19.820 --> 0:03:21.900 Didn't even bother. Yes. 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.350 That's the only reason they're doing what that and and 0:03:24.530 --> 0:03:28.710 and and factories, because there's that aspect, too. If if 0:03:29.010 --> 0:03:32.070 China beats us in the AI race or if they're 0:03:32.090 --> 0:03:37.830 better at it. There's no reason Elon claims our economy 0:03:37.910 --> 0:03:40.470 is going to be 30 times bigger in 20 years 0:03:40.530 --> 0:03:42.070 or whatever it is. And there will just be a 0:03:42.150 --> 0:03:45.110 wash in money. There's no reason China's can't do the 0:03:45.150 --> 0:03:45.870 same thing. 0:03:46.290 --> 0:03:50.290 Sure. Right. And to your point about the Chinese maker 0:03:50.310 --> 0:03:54.920 of humanoid robots and its stunning trading debut on their 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:59.490 stock exchange. It achieved a market value of $ 51 billion 0:03:59.550 --> 0:04:01.630 like day one. I haven't seen how it's done lately. 0:04:01.670 --> 0:04:05.040 But Unitree Robotics is the first humanoid maker to list 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.540 in mainland China and stands at the forefront of the 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:13.040 geopolitical competition between Washington and Beijing. Last month, the U.S. 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:17.010 banned most imports of new humanoid robot models, citing an 0:04:17.050 --> 0:04:21.150 immediate national security threat. It's funny that didn't make ABC News. 0:04:21.820 --> 0:04:26.190 You're a traitor to your country, David Muir. I'm not kidding. 0:04:27.020 --> 0:04:29.950 That is just outlandish. 0:04:31.790 --> 0:04:34.330 That you presented that as a feel-good kind of fun 0:04:34.390 --> 0:04:38.230 story that China has these amazing robots that look like 0:04:38.370 --> 0:04:41.180 guys and can jump really high and run really fast 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:45.360 and stand extreme temperatures and not at all be a 0:04:45.420 --> 0:04:46.460 grown-up about the story. 0:04:46.500 --> 0:04:48.880 You're a traitor, David Muir. I hate you. I actually 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.780 hate Yeah, yep, indeed. I'm not even going to call 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.460 him a bent-nose jackass because these charges are much more serious, 0:04:55.500 --> 0:04:57.900 so I won't distract you. For what it's worth, and 0:04:57.940 --> 0:04:59.600 this story came out in the Wall Street Journal the 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:04.479 day after that commercial for the communist robot maker. For 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.779 its part, the Chinese government has identified, quote, embodied artificial intelligence, 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.560 meaning robots and other devices that apply AI to the 0:05:12.730 --> 0:05:16.729 physical world. That's one of their six future industries expected 0:05:16.750 --> 0:05:19.230 to drive the economy over the next five years. It 0:05:19.290 --> 0:05:21.290 is among their highest priorities. 0:05:24.089 --> 0:05:28.430 Last week, a payment company called Stripe that I'd never 0:05:28.470 --> 0:05:32.190 heard of in my life said that AI has achieved 0:05:32.250 --> 0:05:35.940 the long-awaited singularity, which is a term that gets thrown 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:40.940 around by computer AI types, which is when you reach 0:05:40.980 --> 0:05:44.400 the point that AI can improve itself beyond what humans 0:05:44.460 --> 0:05:45.159 can contribute. 0:05:45.580 --> 0:05:46.400 It's improving itself. 0:05:47.270 --> 0:05:50.729 Lots of companies have declared that we're there or we're 0:05:50.750 --> 0:05:53.110 a week from there. And then some experts come along 0:05:53.150 --> 0:05:56.190 and say it'll never happen. But if it does happen, 0:05:56.210 --> 0:05:59.710 Katie barred the door. I can't believe I'm going to 0:05:59.770 --> 0:06:03.729 live through watching this unfold. It's kind of exciting while 0:06:03.750 --> 0:06:04.539 being terrifying. 0:06:05.860 --> 0:06:09.799 Yeah, I, for one, welcome our Chinese communist robot overlords. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:16.060 Given the fact that they can be not only directed remotely, 0:06:16.220 --> 0:06:17.990 which we're used to in drone warfare, but they can 0:06:18.029 --> 0:06:21.130 be sent forth with, and we talked about this in 0:06:21.250 --> 0:06:27.710 aerial drones yesterday, specifically Russia, now sending entirely AI-driven drones 0:06:27.890 --> 0:06:31.560 into Ukraine. And they have specific targets, but they're told, hey, 0:06:31.700 --> 0:06:33.539 if you can identify a good target, go ahead and 0:06:33.580 --> 0:06:36.659 blow it up. You have thousands of these robots with 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:41.289 similar programming. To say it'll change the face of warfare 0:06:41.370 --> 0:06:42.950 is a hilarious understatement. 0:06:43.660 --> 0:06:46.859 Well, and then if we actually hit the singularity at 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.540 some point, change the face of warfare, change the face 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:57.830 of absolutely everything on planet Earth so fast, you realize, 0:06:57.930 --> 0:06:59.990 and Elon's talked about this, lots of people have, if 0:07:00.050 --> 0:07:05.070 it actually happens, ASI, artificial superintelligence, where it can learn 0:07:05.110 --> 0:07:08.190 on its own, and the speed at which it will learn, 0:07:11.050 --> 0:07:16.850 everything will be different in a week. I mean, everything 0:07:16.910 --> 0:07:23.750 you assumed about everything, investment, warfare, medicine, you know, throw 0:07:23.790 --> 0:07:26.650 in some good stuff, education. I don't know if you 0:07:26.710 --> 0:07:28.140 have time to worry about the good stuff because all 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.880 the bad stuff will be so scary. But we'll change 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:36.180 so rapidly. It's just, it's unimaginable where this is going. 0:07:36.540 --> 0:07:39.340 I hope it can't happen. I hope that the singularity 0:07:39.490 --> 0:07:42.730 for real can't happen, but that wouldn't be my bet. 0:07:43.650 --> 0:07:48.190 Yeah. I can't take being poor again. I didn't like 0:07:48.230 --> 0:07:55.530 it the first time. I'm a hell of a lot 0:07:55.590 --> 0:07:57.010 less tough than I used to be. 0:07:57.270 --> 0:08:00.710 It's like the Louis C.K. thing that I've mentioned several times, 0:08:00.850 --> 0:08:04.310 the comedian, where he says, I'm in the rare situation 0:08:04.350 --> 0:08:08.110 where I've had my financial advisor tell me twice, you 0:08:08.150 --> 0:08:09.240 now have a million dollars. 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.370 First time was awesome. Yeah. Second time, not so much. 0:08:15.570 --> 0:08:15.810 Yeah. 0:08:16.190 --> 0:08:20.890 Yeah. Oof. Yeah. Well, I'm sorry. Our AI overlords have 0:08:20.910 --> 0:08:23.120 shut down the entire banking system, and there's no way 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.580 to access your investments. I mean, all they were were 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.580 zeros and ones anyway. So, yeah, sorry, Joe. We got 0:08:29.620 --> 0:08:32.199 an opening down at the shoe store. Oh, no, we don't. 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.760 There's a robot doing it. What the f * * * 0:08:34.780 --> 0:08:36.190 type of AI s. 0:08:35.900 --> 0:08:36.190 * * ty? 0:08:36.610 --> 0:08:39.069 That's what we're asking. I was watching an interview with Elon. 0:08:39.090 --> 0:08:41.570 Well, I'll tell you about what I saw with Elon 0:08:41.610 --> 0:08:42.110 right after this. 0:08:43.540 --> 0:08:47.630 You know, Jackie, even if Chinese communist robot overlords are 0:08:48.530 --> 0:08:52.530 cascading across the landscape, we can still enjoy the companionship 0:08:52.570 --> 0:08:53.130 of our dogs. 0:08:53.150 --> 0:08:55.190 I was just watching on TV. So if I have 0:08:55.230 --> 0:08:57.820 a robot dog, those really cool robot dogs like I 0:08:57.860 --> 0:08:59.540 saw the United States has, do I need to feed 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.140 them rough greens or are they okay without it? 0:09:01.780 --> 0:09:04.699 I would guess no. You probably have to, like, change its. 0:09:06.660 --> 0:09:07.000 Oil. 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:08.679 10,000 barks or something. I don't know. 0:09:11.450 --> 0:09:15.910 But your actual dog needs nutrients, of course, like live probiotics, 0:09:15.970 --> 0:09:19.670 digestive enzymes, omega oils, over 20 vitamins and minerals, all natural, 0:09:19.710 --> 0:09:21.929 made right here in the USA from Rough Greens that 0:09:21.970 --> 0:09:24.210 you sprinkle on your dog's food, and you can try 0:09:24.250 --> 0:09:26.500 it out for free.

It was like the 0:10:04.780 --> 0:10:07.340 Olympic Games. They had all these different sports. They had 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.300 to march in like the teams do. 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:10.460 Oh, boy. 0:10:11.100 --> 0:10:16.689 It's really extraordinary. I'm watching boxing now. Gymnastics. 0:10:16.929 --> 0:10:17.309 Wow. 0:10:17.470 --> 0:10:18.110 Tumbling. 0:10:18.750 --> 0:10:21.330 Doing, you know, jumps in the air like you're Simone 0:10:21.370 --> 0:10:22.870 Biles and landing on your feet. 0:10:23.470 --> 0:10:24.110 Weightlifting. 0:10:24.250 --> 0:10:28.000 All the different stuff these robots are doing today. And, 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.260 you know, we're not even to the super amazing AI 0:10:31.300 --> 0:10:34.780 that's coming any day. Anyway, the video that made me 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.140 laugh was the sprint that everybody's talked about so much 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:39.110 outran Usain Bolt. 0:10:39.490 --> 0:10:41.709 And so they don't stop. They run into the wall. 0:10:41.730 --> 0:10:43.609 They flip over. Their legs are flailing. And then a 0:10:43.630 --> 0:10:46.750 bunch of people run out with hoses and fire extinguishers 0:10:46.790 --> 0:10:49.210 and start spraying them. Because I guess they thought they 0:10:49.230 --> 0:10:51.150 were going to burst into flames or something. I don't 0:10:51.170 --> 0:10:52.150 know what was going on there. 0:10:52.710 --> 0:10:53.120 Wow. 0:10:53.130 --> 0:10:53.200 Wow. 0:10:54.580 --> 0:10:56.790 Wow, I'd missed that part. That's kind of funny. I know. 0:10:56.890 --> 0:10:59.110 I had not seen that. Who cut off the video 0:10:59.150 --> 0:11:02.170 so we didn't see that part? Who's behind the robot games? 0:11:03.470 --> 0:11:07.059 The Chinese Communist Party. You're right. 0:11:07.140 --> 0:11:12.520 China's humanoid robot dominance is the headline on CBS. 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:13.300 Mm-hmm. 0:11:14.980 --> 0:11:16.380 And I'm going to have to go back and watch 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.680 this report that's on there right now, Hanson. They even 0:11:19.780 --> 0:11:23.800 have robot cheerleaders with bomb bombs. Part of the robot 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:27.579 games was showing robots, like in a factory setting, filling 0:11:27.660 --> 0:11:29.520 bottles with the liquid and putting a lid on it 0:11:29.570 --> 0:11:31.370 and moving it down the line, which is its own 0:11:31.420 --> 0:11:32.110 interesting thing. 0:11:32.890 --> 0:11:38.349 Right, right. There shouldn't be two practically unimaginable horrors weighing 0:11:38.450 --> 0:11:40.850 on us in a given day. But you got your 0:11:40.929 --> 0:11:45.100 artificial general intelligence. Even if we don't, hit that. I'm 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:53.459 picturing war, conquest. Let's use conquest with no human cost, 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:57.900 just financial cost. Sending armies of robots, you know, they 0:11:57.940 --> 0:11:59.920 got a lot of oil over there. Never mind U.S. 0:12:00.590 --> 0:12:03.670 sanctions and buying Iran's oil. We'll just send a robot 0:12:03.730 --> 0:12:06.510 army in, terrorize them until they give in and say, 0:12:06.570 --> 0:12:09.969 all right, you're in charge now. How much conquest will 0:12:09.990 --> 0:12:13.189 there be around the world when there's no cost in soldiers? 0:12:13.730 --> 0:12:17.160 Or vanishingly small. The rules will. 0:12:17.020 --> 0:12:19.160 Be the same they've been since the dawn of man 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.319 and will be forever. It's the saying you always have, 0:12:22.380 --> 0:12:24.900 the strong do what they can and the weak do 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:26.630 what they must, or whatever it is. 0:12:26.650 --> 0:12:28.650 Not close enough, yeah. 0:12:31.929 --> 0:12:34.489 The only thing you can do is be rich enough 0:12:34.530 --> 0:12:37.090 and powerful enough that you can stop the evildoers from 0:12:37.150 --> 0:12:39.490 taking you over, I guess. But anyway, my question is 0:12:39.530 --> 0:12:43.790 going to be, did CBS News touch on the military 0:12:43.890 --> 0:12:46.790 likelihood of this stuff? Or did they pretend that this 0:12:46.850 --> 0:12:48.870 is all just kind of fun and games and look, 0:12:49.230 --> 0:12:52.630 the robots can box? Let's screw up, people. Let's quit 0:12:52.690 --> 0:12:55.829 pretending that that's what China or we are doing with robots. 0:12:56.110 --> 0:12:59.569 They were just trying to, like, it's like a sophomore 0:12:59.630 --> 0:13:02.510 high school science experiment. Oh, my God, this robot can 0:13:02.590 --> 0:13:05.890 jump this high. No, it's about creating super soldiers, and 0:13:05.929 --> 0:13:06.829 you know it is. 0:13:07.410 --> 0:13:07.650 Yeah. 0:13:08.790 --> 0:13:11.770 So let's not pretend that it's not. Is ABC Disney 0:13:11.809 --> 0:13:13.750 trying to make inroads in China, and they agreed to 0:13:13.830 --> 0:13:15.350 run that two-minute commercial? 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:16.939 I don't know. 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.939 There's got to be an explanation. Hey, news organizations. It 0:13:19.980 --> 0:13:23.320 couldn't possibly be that stupid and incompetent. No, you wouldn't 0:13:23.340 --> 0:13:23.640 think so. 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.420 Hey, news organizations, if you don't at least have a 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:31.800 think tank guy who says now the military capabilities or 0:13:34.550 --> 0:13:37.970 applications of these robots are terrifying and here's how, then 0:13:38.030 --> 0:13:41.370 you're either a bad journalist or you are not a 0:13:41.410 --> 0:13:43.850 patriot because that's what's going on here. 0:13:43.890 --> 0:13:48.550 Let's not fool ourselves. China is asshole. So is David Muir. 0:13:49.050 --> 0:13:49.790 Wow. 0:13:49.809 --> 0:13:53.640 That was devastating. Text line if you have any comments 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:53.960 on that. 0:13:53.980 --> 0:13:54.240 415-295-KFTC. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:55.220 Armstrong and Getty. 0:14:00.740 --> 0:14:03.540 President Trump threatening Canadian leaders to fall in line as 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.660 he threatens to impose new 50% tariffs on car parts, 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.480 cars and steel. On top of the steep tariffs he's 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:14.800 already imposed on furniture, textiles, building supplies and alcohol. Canada responding, 0:14:14.900 --> 0:14:18.059 vowing to impose a dollar for dollar tariff on their own. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.460 The president brushing that off, writing on social media, we 0:14:21.500 --> 0:14:23.160 don't need Canada, they need us. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:23.840 Yeah. 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:28.090 Truth social post today from Donald Trump saying something like 0:14:28.150 --> 0:14:29.750 I don't have in front of me, but something like 0:14:30.250 --> 0:14:33.320 Canada took 60 billion dollars from us last year. 0:14:33.410 --> 0:14:35.140 That ends now. That sort of thing. 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:37.580 So you have some breaking news. Is that going to 0:14:37.620 --> 0:14:39.180 ruin the fun of this or is it fit in 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.540 with this or what? Should we do the fun first 0:14:41.590 --> 0:14:42.850 and then what do you want to do? 0:14:43.260 --> 0:14:47.860 Well, Canada's, as promised, announced retaliatory tariffs of up to 0:14:47.860 --> 0:14:52.490 50 percent on roughly 700 products as the acrimony between 0:14:52.590 --> 0:14:54.110 Ottawa and Washington escalates. 0:14:54.690 --> 0:14:58.090 So the tariffs on the really serious stuff like cars 0:14:58.170 --> 0:15:01.770 and aluminum and steel don't start till January. My guess 0:15:01.790 --> 0:15:05.770 would be that never happens. But so who's Doug Ford now? 0:15:05.790 --> 0:15:09.320 We used to enjoy his brother so much. Yeah, his 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.970 brother has passed, unfortunately. Doug Ford is the head guy 0:15:12.020 --> 0:15:15.690 in the province of Ontario, a highly populous and important 0:15:15.730 --> 0:15:17.830 trade partner of the United States. And his brother was 0:15:17.870 --> 0:15:20.570 a big-time politician who was so fun, but then became 0:15:20.590 --> 0:15:23.450 a drug addict and went off the rails and died. Anyway, 0:15:23.510 --> 0:15:25.510 here's what Doug Ford had to say about all this yesterday. 0:15:25.890 --> 0:15:28.090 Well, he can kiss my ass as far as I'm concerned. 0:15:28.130 --> 0:15:30.970 We're going to go at him full steam. We need 0:15:30.990 --> 0:15:34.590 to throw everything in the kitchen sink at him. He's arrogant. 0:15:34.690 --> 0:15:35.350 He's cocky. 0:15:35.910 --> 0:15:38.620 And, you know, as Ronald Reagan said, If you come 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.940 to a draw with a bully, what stops that bully 0:15:40.980 --> 0:15:43.480 from coming after you the next day and the next day? 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.960 And that's all Donald Trump is, is a bully. 0:15:47.070 --> 0:15:49.510 Are we going to let politicians in Canada say kiss 0:15:49.550 --> 0:15:51.590 my ass to the President of the United States? A 0:15:51.650 --> 0:15:54.850 reporter asked Doug Ford about his controversial comments. 0:15:55.250 --> 0:15:57.190 You sound a little more subdued than you did this 0:15:57.230 --> 0:15:59.790 morning on the radio when you said Donald Trump could 0:15:59.830 --> 0:16:01.880 kiss your ass. Did the Prime Minister tell you to 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:03.540 ask you to tone it down a bit? 0:16:03.820 --> 0:16:04.560 No, he didn't. 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.859 I'm not going to comment, but He wasn't against that. 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:10.760 And I have a lot of real estate on my ass, 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:12.859 so he has a lot of room to kiss my ass. 0:16:16.620 --> 0:16:17.140 I just do. 0:16:18.430 --> 0:16:19.729 I'm a big dude. What can I say? 0:16:19.750 --> 0:16:23.590 That's Doug Ford mentioning how many centimeters across his ass 0:16:23.870 --> 0:16:25.530 is as they use the metric system up there. 0:16:26.990 --> 0:16:32.420 Use inches, you furrner. Boy. One more clip from Doug Ford. 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.900 You know, I'm not going to. I'm just not going 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:38.050 to take the bait. This guy's a loser. He's going 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.580 to be a loser. And simple as that. We're going 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.080 to fight with everything we have. And you know something? 0:16:44.100 --> 0:16:46.660 I have more courage, more brains in my baby toe 0:16:46.700 --> 0:16:49.670 than he has in his whole body. So there you go. 0:16:49.690 --> 0:16:54.030 That's not helping. No, it's not. It's not. Yeah, I 0:16:54.050 --> 0:16:57.980 don't like that. You know, it's a whole trade deficit thing. 0:16:58.550 --> 0:17:01.990 Number one. Having a trade deficit with somebody isn't getting 0:17:02.090 --> 0:17:04.090 ripped off. It just has to do with who has 0:17:04.150 --> 0:17:07.580 more wealth and who has what somebody wants to buy. Secondly, 0:17:07.820 --> 0:17:11.139 we would have a trade surplus with Canada, except that 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.179 we'd buy so much of its crude oil, which is 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:18.670 particularly well-suited to our refineries. So I just, I don't know. 0:17:18.690 --> 0:17:22.810 I don't know. The whole tariff thing, especially because it's 0:17:22.930 --> 0:17:26.530 raising prices at precisely the wrong moment to hang on 0:17:26.550 --> 0:17:28.949 to the Senate and the House. And God help us 0:17:29.030 --> 0:17:32.370 if Democrats get control of government. The woke thing will 0:17:32.410 --> 0:17:36.290 be resurgent. Well, how about the whole rhetoric thing, though? Well, 0:17:36.530 --> 0:17:38.790 can we get to, like, Doug Ford? 0:17:38.810 --> 0:17:40.869 Of course, you don't get near as much attention in 0:17:40.930 --> 0:17:43.410 politics as politics all around the world. 0:17:43.770 --> 0:17:45.129 You want to get attention. You want to look like 0:17:45.170 --> 0:17:46.910 a fighter. You want to get donations. 0:17:47.609 --> 0:17:52.150 But could you just make solid economic arguments for why 0:17:52.450 --> 0:17:55.419 what Trump is doing is a bad idea? As opposed 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.040 to kiss my ass, kiss my extra fat ass. 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.780 Well, because then you get supporters on both sides. They 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.400 want the ass kickings as opposed to the policies. My 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:08.580 ass is so giant, kiss it. Wow. 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:09.280 Wow. 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:14.570 He said it in English. We don't need you to translate, Jack. Okay. 0:18:14.830 --> 0:18:16.230 So we'll get into some of the other stories of 0:18:16.270 --> 0:18:20.290 the day that we have to touch on also. Armstrong 0:18:20.410 --> 0:18:20.869 and Getty. 0:18:22.630 --> 0:18:25.130 South Carolina is going to decide today whether or not 0:18:25.210 --> 0:18:29.740 Lindsey Graham's sister should be the Republican nominee for the Senate. 0:18:31.180 --> 0:18:33.510 I'm a no on that. We got a little more 0:18:33.550 --> 0:18:38.469 on that coming up. Yeah, and whoever the Republican is, 0:18:38.580 --> 0:18:42.640 is most likely almost entirely certain to be the senator. 0:18:42.859 --> 0:18:52.960 So impactful indeed. Jesse Waters had Abdul Al-Said, the Michigander Islamunist. 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.020 candidate for the Senate on last night on Fox News, 0:18:57.580 --> 0:18:59.679 and they talked about a number of different topics. We're 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.610 just going to touch on a couple of them. First 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:05.330 of all, Al-Said, who I believe to be an Islamist 0:19:05.410 --> 0:19:11.129 masquerading as a Marxist in the time-honored Red-Green Alliance. Because 0:19:11.790 --> 0:19:14.990 he thinks there are lots of votes to be had 0:19:15.090 --> 0:19:17.750 by the young socialist crowd? Yeah, exactly. 0:19:17.770 --> 0:19:17.850 Okay. 0:19:19.060 --> 0:19:21.940 Yeah, certainly far more votes because he knows how to 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:25.200 speak in code to the Muslim audience. And I've got 0:19:25.220 --> 0:19:27.640 a hundred examples of him speaking in code to them, 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.109 telling them, don't worry, I am devout, I'm hardcore, I 0:19:31.170 --> 0:19:34.030 am with you. That the American press either doesn't pick 0:19:34.109 --> 0:19:35.629 up on or has no desire to pick up on. 0:19:35.990 --> 0:19:38.130 So yeah, he signals he's a man of the left 0:19:38.190 --> 0:19:41.739 and tries to get that youthful lefty vote. Anyway, they 0:19:41.780 --> 0:19:47.649 talked about socialized healthcare here. You say you want socialized healthcare. Abdul, 0:19:47.670 --> 0:19:48.990 how much is that going to cost? 0:19:49.900 --> 0:19:51.790 It's going to cost the average Michigander a whole lot 0:19:51.810 --> 0:19:53.670 less than they pay right now. But I'm just going 0:19:53.690 --> 0:19:56.510 to tell you, I'm up against a guy who voted 0:19:56.530 --> 0:20:01.110 to raise prescription drug prices 19 times, 19 times, right? 0:20:01.450 --> 0:20:02.770 And so I'm just saying I want to bring your 0:20:02.810 --> 0:20:05.480 costs down. The price of the program is going to 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:09.340 be substantially less for an everyday person who's out here 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.200 who can't afford their health care and worried about losing 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:12.140 their health care with their job. 0:20:12.619 --> 0:20:13.780 Give me the total number. 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:15.639 While you're out here trying to talk about the broader 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:18.290 national budget, I'm a lot more interested in the everyday 0:20:18.330 --> 0:20:20.669 budgets that Michiganders are thinking about. And that's exactly the 0:20:20.710 --> 0:20:23.230 budget that Donald Trump and Mike Rogers are blowing up 0:20:23.270 --> 0:20:23.550 right now. 0:20:23.830 --> 0:20:26.450 And they got into, I think Jesse hit him with, 0:20:26.609 --> 0:20:30.560 it costs $ 17 trillion or whatever it would be to 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.640 have Medicare for 10 years. But I hate that whole 0:20:33.740 --> 0:20:37.040 argument because it's a difficult one to win. The cost 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:39.439 for your crowd that's standing in front of you and 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:44.550 cheering is going to go They think down the taxes 0:20:44.990 --> 0:20:47.310 are going to cover it. But you're like what you 0:20:47.390 --> 0:20:48.810 what you pay. 0:20:48.470 --> 0:20:51.100 At the doctor and all that will be much, much cheaper. 0:20:51.140 --> 0:20:54.180
