1 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong Show, Getty Armstrong and Jett 3 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: and he. 4 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,479 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty. 5 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 3: What we should note is the reality on the ground, 6 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 3: and that is that Iran still has the ability to 7 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 3: launch missiles and drones at Israel and Golf countries. And 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 3: I spoke with a senior Israeli military official a few 9 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 3: days ago who indicated the incoming ballistic missile fire toward 10 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 3: Israel is expected to last for a few more weeks, 11 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 3: and so this is not anywhere close to over. And 12 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 3: Iran showed yesterday by targeting the energy infrastructure in the 13 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 3: Golf that they are willing to escalate this conflict and 14 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 3: target countries that have not previously targeted them. 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: That's ranks the Fox saying this is not anywhere close 16 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: to over. Yeah, that a little surprising to me. So 17 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: we've we and Israel have pounded the crap out of 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: Iran now for two and a half weeks, and they 19 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: still had plenty of power left to attack that gas 20 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: field in Qatar yesterday for instance, right right, And I 21 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 2: find myself uneasy, partly because, as usual, I have complaints 22 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 2: about Donald Jay and the way he communicates that back 23 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: and forth. We're about over, it's about done any minute now, 24 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 2: and then you know, the next day or ten minutes later, 25 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: it's well, there's a lot still to be done. That's 26 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 2: going to take some time. So I have no idea 27 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: what the plan was. Maybe this is precisely the plan. 28 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's going to be at least six weeks 29 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: of extensive bombing, and we expect it for tag attacks 30 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: and all. This is all a surprise. I'm not sure 31 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: this is precisely the plan. Applies to any war in 32 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: the history of war once you're a couple of weeks in, 33 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: because fair point, it's the whole everybody's got a plan 34 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: until they get punched in the face scenario. That seems 35 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 2: to be true about who's calling the shots though, who's 36 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: fed Okay, time for us to attack the gas fields? 37 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 2: Who made that call? Treyank's reports on the who's in 38 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: charge part of this. 39 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 3: We don't know who is in charge of Iran right now. 40 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: We've not yet seen any proof of life from Mushtaba 41 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: kham And II. 42 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: The current Supreme leader of Iran. 43 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 3: Last night, through state media, he reportedly released a statement 44 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: calling for the avenging of the death of Ali Larajani, 45 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: the top official who was killed just about forty eight 46 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: hours ago. But we are seeing a concerted effort by 47 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 3: the Israelis and the Americans to take out what remains 48 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 3: of the leadership structure there, not just Larajani, but also 49 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: yesterday we reported the intelligence minister of Iran and also 50 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 3: a top besieged commander. We expect these types of strikes 51 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: to continue, but the Iranians are filling the shoes of 52 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 3: these leaders, and they are still firing on a variety 53 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: of different locations across the Middle East. 54 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 2: So I'm like an Iranian general or a Republican guard guy, 55 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 2: and I hear you need to take vengeance in the 56 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: name of Lauren Johnny, I'm thinking, m already at war 57 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 2: with everything we've got. We've attacked all our neighbors. We're 58 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: sending drones like everywhere they can. What would that look 59 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: like exactly, mister Ayatola. I'm just still work shopping here. 60 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: Don't cut my head off. But uh man, when you 61 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: say don't cut my head off and r on, you 62 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: mean it. Yeah. So, but it's so interesting to know 63 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: how much communication do they have. Did word get around. 64 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: Are there people in charge of what? I'm in charge 65 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: of this militia, You're in charge of the Republican Guard, 66 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: You're in charge of the I don't know, the Mullah's 67 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 2: Secret Defense Force or whatever. There's like so many different entities. 68 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: And did somebody here yesterday we attacked the gas field? 69 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: What whose idea was that? I mean almost certainly is 70 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: that the way it's going down? Who's eye? Who made 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: that decision? I don't know. So we're not trying to 72 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 2: line up support in the region now, we're trying to 73 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: alienate native everybody. Yeah, yeah, Well, I'm told that the 74 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: military and the Republican Guard has gone to a much 75 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: more decentralized command structure because it has to. You got 76 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: no choice. As to what Pete Hegsat said a couple 77 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: hours ago. 78 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 4: The last job anyone in the world wants right now, 79 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 4: senior leader for the IRGC or besiege temp jobs, all 80 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 4: of them. And to borrow a page from Admiral Ernest 81 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: King in World War Two, we've decided to share the 82 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 4: ocean with Iran. We've given them the bottom half. We've 83 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 4: damaged or sunk over one hundred and twenty of their 84 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 4: Navy ships with battle damage assessments pending for many more. 85 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 2: Man, that's some vintage wise assery there, that line from 86 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 2: WW two. I don't know. I don't know what I think. 87 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: Sometimes I like the Wise astery, sometimes I don't. I 88 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: don't know. We're sharing the ocean with them. We'll give 89 00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 2: them the bottom half. That's hilarious. Although I was thinking 90 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: as I listened to Secretary Pete, who in a lot 91 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 2: of ways I think is doing a bang up job. 92 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: But if this were a movie and he was a 93 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: character in it, I'd be like, you should have gotten 94 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 2: a better actor. This guy's just there's no subtlety to 95 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 2: this performance. You know. All he's got is I'm a 96 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: fast talking, hard ass. So yesterday was the biggest escalation 97 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: of the war since it's began. Iran attacked the world's 98 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: largest oil field, which is partially in their country in Qatar. 99 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 2: Qatar attacked or Israel first attack to the largest oil 100 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: field in Iran. Then Iran attacked to the world's largest 101 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 2: oil field that they share in Qatar, and so it's 102 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 2: on there. So Pete Hegzath said this Today. 103 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 4: We've struck over seven thousand targets across Iran. And its 104 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 4: military infrastructure that is not incremental, that is overwhelming force 105 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 4: applied with precision. And again today will be the largest 106 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: strike package yet, just like yesterday was. As I've said 107 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 4: from day one, our capabilities continue to build, Iran's continue 108 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 4: to degrade. We're hunting and striking death and destruction from above. 109 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 2: Well, that's interesting. It's going to be the biggest strike 110 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: package so far in the war, and it increases every day. 111 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 2: And is Iran still has the ability to you know, 112 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 2: work their mayhem like they did yesterday. Right, So what 113 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: happens now is reading from Mark Alprin's newsletter and he's 114 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 2: talking to lots of people inside the Pentagon, in inside 115 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: the White House with the plans are mentioned earlier. The 116 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 2: Pentagon is reportedly preparing to request another two hundred billion 117 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: dollars for the effort. And that's where Congress could get involved, obviously, 118 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: if they wanted to slow this down by by not 119 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 2: allowing that or having some serious debate about it. We'll 120 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: see if that happens or not. Among the options now 121 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 2: being according to Halprin's sources, are the seizure of carg 122 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 2: Island that's a strategic nerve center for Iran's oil exports. 123 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: There's also the prospect of deploying ground forces along segments 124 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: of the Iranian coast to secure freedom of navigation through 125 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: the Strait of Horror Moves. It is a scenario that 126 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: would make naval historians nod grimly mark Alperrin Wrights. Yeah, 127 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 2: so we've got twenty five hundred marines that are going 128 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 2: to be there like today or tomorrow, and we're sending 129 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: another twenty five hundred marines they announced today for a 130 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: total of five thousand. If you had announced at the 131 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 2: beginning of the war, we're going to have five thousand 132 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 2: or who knows how many thousand marines on the ground 133 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 2: securing the Strait of Horror Moves. I don't know how 134 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: that would upold on that topic, and I found this 135 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: very interesting. The latest deployment is the thirty first Marine 136 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: Expeditionary Unit, a rapid response force of about twenty two 137 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 2: hundred marines to the Middle East. The US could use 138 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: the unit to seize one or more of the islands 139 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: off the southern coast of Iran, to use it as 140 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 2: leverage or as a base to counter Iranian attacks on 141 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: commercial shipping. In short, to help secure the Strait. The 142 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: unit is slated to arrive in the Middle East from 143 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 2: Japan in just over a week. It's amazing how slowly 144 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: things move when you're moving this much gear. But here's 145 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 2: the really interesting part. A marine expeditionary unit is a 146 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 2: self sustained unit that operates off ships, using them as 147 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: a mobile base. It is composed of four elements. A 148 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 2: ground combat unit of marine infantry equipped with armored vehicles 149 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: and artillery. I think we all kind of pictured that 150 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: when we heard two hundred twenty five hundred marines. Also 151 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: an aviation unit of MV twenty two ospre rotor aircraft, 152 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: helicopters and jet fighters such as the F thirty five B. 153 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: A command team that coordinates the unit's movement, and a 154 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 2: logistics battalion that provides essential support, supply and equipment maintenance. 155 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: It specializes in conducting raids by sea and by air. 156 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: So when you hear that the marine expeditionary unit is 157 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: twenty two hundred marines, it's a hell of a lot 158 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: more than that. It is a coordinated attack a juggernaut, 159 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: and now we're gonna have two of those, it would 160 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: seem that are going to be there. Yeah, that is 161 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: really something. The other proposal being advanced by Richard Haas, 162 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: who's always on MSNBC, used to run the some foreign 163 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 2: policy think tank. This is an interesting idea. It involves 164 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: constructing an international coalition to effectively shut down the Strait 165 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 2: to Iranian traffic, so rather than put in forces to 166 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 2: try to open it up for everybody else, shut it 167 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: down so the Iranians can't get their ships out of there. 168 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: Because as Wall Street Journal and we've repeated it over 169 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: and over, Iran's actually exporting more oil than they did 170 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 2: before the war. But it'd be a lot easier to 171 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: stop that probably that it would be to open it up. 172 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: So okay, now you can't get any through, So what 173 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: do you want to do. Yeah, that's not a bad plan. No, no, 174 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 2: unless they are at the true caged beast point and 175 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: are not caged but a cornered beast point in the war, 176 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 2: and then they're like, we don't have the people in 177 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 2: infrastructure left to cash the checks we're getting for the oil. 178 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 2: This is complete chaos, and then you'll see them in 179 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: their death throes and what that looks like could be ugly. 180 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: And the other thing, thank god, they don't have a nuke, 181 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: no kidding. And the other thing being bandied about in 182 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: the White House and the Pentagon apparently is the possibility 183 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: of just expanding the scope of the US Israeli strikes, 184 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 2: more targets, more drones, more missiles, and the strategic objective 185 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 2: shifting significantly toward regime change, which has just kind of 186 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 2: been all along. Fine, if the regime changes, if you 187 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: just get like a more reasonable Mullah in charge, who 188 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: stops trying to get a nuclear weapon, we'd be fine 189 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: with that. Maybe we move toward not they gotta go, 190 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 2: which might be where we end up if they continue 191 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: to fight like this, although again it gets back to 192 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: the original question of who's in charge. The mullos might 193 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 2: not have anything to do with what's going on right now. 194 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 2: I would love to know the level of chaos. I mean, 195 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 2: it's got to be pretty high, I would think so. 196 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 2: And then just one more thing to look forward to, 197 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 2: quote unquote one topic that hasn't got a lot of 198 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: discussion yet is at some point we e somebody needs 199 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: to seize or destroy the highly refined nuclear material that 200 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: everybody believes is stored deep under a mountain in Isfahan. 201 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: That would as described by the Wallster, I'm sorry. By 202 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: the New York Times, it would, by any measure, be 203 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 2: one of the boldest and riskiest to military operations in 204 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: modern American history, far more complex and dangerous than the 205 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 2: effort to kill Osama bin Laden in twenty eleven, or 206 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 2: sees Nicholas Maduro from his bed in early January. Nobody's 207 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: certain where all the fuel is. If the canisters holding 208 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: it are pierced, the escaping gas would be both toxic 209 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 2: and radioactive. The canisters come too close together, there is 210 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 2: the risk of an accelerating nuclear reaction. Wow, I know 211 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: nothing about the physics of that. I can only assume 212 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 2: that's accurate and not good. I can only assume that's 213 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 2: not good. Fraught, as they say. And then at what 214 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: point do gas prices natural gas prices like really get 215 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: people's attention, Like it's the only thing people are talking about. 216 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 2: If we end up with i'd say, ten dollars and 217 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: count what you Yeah, are we talking about the rest 218 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 2: of the country or California, Because we live with five 219 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: dollars gas regularly in California. That would be extraordinarily shocking 220 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: for much of the country to have five dollars gas. Yeah, 221 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: particularly given the fact that the rest of the country 222 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: has lower wages mostly than your higher cost to coastal states. 223 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 2: But that I think I think that's the most likely 224 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 2: scenario that I see happening, is that we we have 225 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 2: gas prices that is like the only topic in the 226 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 2: country for a while. No, I don't want kind of 227 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: political pressure that causes Honestly, I would be shocked to 228 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: avoid that, right shocked if we can avoid that. Final note, 229 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 2: one of my friends text that I share this with 230 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 2: Jack off the air, that hey, great to see my 231 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 2: four to oh one k get murdered by stuff happening 232 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 2: nine thousand miles away. It really don't give an s out. 233 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 2: And I assured him all this little tiff will be 234 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 2: over in the matter of days and then wealth for everyone. Yeah, 235 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: I was, I was kind of kidding. Uh, it could 236 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 2: be a while. The markets are concerned. Yeah, you know, 237 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. This is analysis so obvious and everybody's saying it, 238 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: but I feel like I have to Donald J is 239 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 2: one hundred percent got his legacy on the line right now. Oh, 240 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 2: I'd say this was this very well could be the sentence. 241 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 2: The first sentence in his biography obituary however you want 242 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: to look at it. Yep, this whole Oran thing. Wow, 243 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 2: A lot more on the way. Stay here. 244 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 4: I've never felt older in my life than when I've 245 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 4: taxed a gen Z person and they only use lowercase letters. 246 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: And then I bring up, like, why do you not 247 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 2: use capital letters? And as I said it, I felt 248 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: myself developed osteoporosis, like from how old I was. She's like, 249 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,599 Speaker 2: oh yeah, I turn it off on my phone, so 250 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: nothing capitalizes because it just feels so like formal. And 251 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 2: it's like, well, older people do. And I'm like, why 252 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 2: does it make me old to use capital letters? I 253 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 2: don't use capital letters either. Gen Z thinks capital letters 254 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: are just too intense, and a linguist agrees. I don't 255 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: know if that's it. I think it's just young people 256 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 2: separating themselves from their parents. They got to wear a 257 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: different hat than their dad was there does and just 258 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. I see I see the conversations my 259 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: son has with his friends, and it's almost like a 260 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: foreign language. I mean, And that's not all I mean, 261 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 2: that's just it's just I don't know what they get. 262 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: Why you got to do this as a young person. 263 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: We should bring back that art curator describing the masterpiece 264 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: with gen Z slang that was that was really amusing. 265 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: I have two completely conflicting thoughts on this. Number. One 266 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: of the beginning of this article talks about how gen 267 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 2: Z has developed many quirks that have come to define 268 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: the generation, from work minimalism to soft social blah blah blah. 269 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: And I'm like, you know, up until like the late 270 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 2: sixties when some of the big national news organization started 271 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: writing about youth culture, the adult world just kind of 272 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 2: chuckled and ignored youth culture. But now it's like such 273 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 2: a constant topic of conversation. It's irrelevant to me. It 274 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. I don't need to know it. I'm a 275 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 2: grown up, I have a job, I have payment bills, 276 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: blah blah blah. And I think that was better. We're 277 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: constantly focusing on it. Of course, it was second conflicting thought, 278 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 2: as this linguist explains it, the way we speak, the 279 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: way it sounds, the way we use inflection and rises 280 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 2: and falls and pitch, and everything I'm doing right now 281 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: changes in context constantly, from a formal presentation to meeting 282 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 2: someone new, to being with your good friends to being 283 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 2: with your spouse blah blah blah, and the lack of 284 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: capitals is the equivalent of the utterly comfortable tone of 285 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 2: voice you use with your friend's exactly why I do 286 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: it capitals at this point, they just they seem too 287 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: formal to me a lot. For a lot of phrases 288 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: that I throw at people, it just looks weird. It'd 289 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 2: be like I'm saying, how are you doing today? Which 290 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 2: you don't do. See, I'd rather lose a finger than 291 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 2: send the grammatically incorrect text. But I understand what you're saying, 292 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: and I understand what you're saying. Oh man. Yeah, Plus 293 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: what young people do for each other, doesn't that they 294 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: don't they stop when they grow up usually. Uh so 295 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: it'll be fine, It will be fine. Yeah, it was 296 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: interesting the Jeffrey Epstein crowd us like no punctuation or 297 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 2: capitals and bad spelling, and it's kind of odd some 298 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: of the elite of the planet, right, major banking news 299 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 2: that just came across, which is either good news or 300 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 2: disastrous news, which but that among other things on the way. 301 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 2: I hope you can stay here. If you don't get it. 302 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: Get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. 303 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty got two kind of breaking news things 304 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: for you coming up in a minute. 305 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: Which jobs are most and least vulnerable to being replaced 306 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: by AI. The latest highly scientific wild Guests started with 307 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 2: us no kidding everything with AI as a wild guest. 308 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: So first this. So we've been asking other countries to 309 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 2: help us with opening the straight of the horror moves, 310 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: and they've been giving us a stiff armold. They just 311 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 2: put out a joint statement the UK, France, Germany, Italy, 312 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 2: Netherlands and Japan, and Trump is sitting down with the 313 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 2: leader of Japan today in the Oval Office. All put 314 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 2: out a joint statement expressing readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts. 315 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 2: There are some vague words for you. Readiness to contribute 316 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 2: it to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the 317 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 2: Straight of Horror moves, welcoming nations and engaging in prep 318 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 2: planning and coordinating as ways to increase output, and called 319 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 2: for a RAN to cease immediately it's threats, laying of minds, 320 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 2: drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the 321 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 2: straight commercial shipping and to comply with you in Security 322 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: Cancel Resolution twenty eight to seventeen, where it goes. Nobody knows, 323 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: but I think Marco Rubio might end up being one 324 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 2: of the great secretaries of State in the history of America. 325 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 2: I've been been a big fan of his for a 326 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,239 Speaker 2: long time. You see his tiny little fingerprints all over this. 327 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: Oh that was unnecessary, but yes, I suspect he was 328 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 2: central to this agreement. Yes, Okay, here's your other breaking 329 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: news thing that's either a good news or horrible news. 330 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 2: So you remember how after a bunch of big financial 331 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: institutions broke the world economy, having no I don't remember. 332 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 2: That cost me several one hundred thousand dollars in my home, 333 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 2: and nobody went to jail, even though they were giving 334 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 2: loans to people who were crack heads with no job 335 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 2: and no credit, partly because the government made them so. 336 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: Right after that, we put all these strict rules in 337 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 2: place for banks. I mean, you have to have so 338 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 2: much money held back in case something goes wrong that 339 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 2: we never need to bail you out again. Well, we've 340 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 2: lifted that. US regulators proposed more lenient capital rules for 341 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 2: big banks. Officials say, simplifying the rules and the requirements 342 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 2: intended originally to help banks survive a financial strain, we'll 343 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 2: get banks back to lending and boost the economy. So 344 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 2: this is either great news and that you're gonna be 345 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 2: able to go to your big financial institutions and they're 346 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: thrown around money like crazy, or we're gonna have another 347 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: crash someday and all the banks you're going to say, well, 348 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 2: we're gonna go under and bring down bring a world 349 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: depression on unless you bail us out. Too big to fail. 350 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 2: Sorry again, why don't we go ask ten economists whether 351 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 2: this is a good idea or not and get ten 352 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 2: different answers. America's biggest banks will be allowed to hold 353 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 2: billions of dollars less in capital on their books under 354 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 2: this new proposal that's expected to be voted on by 355 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve later today and pass. So again, it's 356 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 2: either good news or bad news. Wow, I'm leaning bad news. 357 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 2: I mean is individuals you're attitude, it'll be easier to 358 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: get loans, but it's gonna we're gonna end up in 359 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: the same situation one of these days. These big financial 360 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 2: institutions are gonna get into trouble and you say, hey, like, 361 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 2: either bail us out or bring down the world economy. 362 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 2: Your choice. Because we got no savings here. That's a 363 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 2: feeling of precariousness that I've had for a while. It's 364 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 2: not getting better, no kidding, And I'm way too old 365 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: and lazy to like learn a new skill. Oh well, 366 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: that's not that's not on the table, live off the land. 367 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: I mean selling pencils and a cup on the corners. 368 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 2: More on the table than that. Anybody want to buy 369 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 2: a pencil. I'm not loving my chances as a pencil 370 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 2: salesman either. Oh my god, what's my profit per unit? 371 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 2: Unless there's some sort of international crossword puzzle craze, I'm 372 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 2: gonna go broke? Wow. Oh so I need to buy 373 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 2: the pencils in bulk and then sell them individually for 374 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 2: enough of a profit to be able to make my 375 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: rent and feed my family. Let's say I've done the math. 376 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 2: I need to sell per day eight point six million pencils, 377 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 2: and you walk out your door and everybody's got like 378 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 2: a tray of pencils walking out. I was the only 379 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 2: one that thought of this. Wow, I hate to even 380 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 2: go into this out of that because that feeling of 381 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 2: precariousness I'm talking about that I think we all have, right, 382 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 2: How do you not. 383 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: Well. 384 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 2: If you don't, you're not paying attention, or I don't know, 385 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 2: you've got to you know, five million dollars in gold 386 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 2: bars buried in your backyard. Because I've got to admit 387 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 2: I must stay in the market. Ride it up, ride 388 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 2: it down guy has always done well. If you miss 389 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 2: the upturn by a day and the turn by one day, 390 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 2: you'll lose something like twenty five percent of the games 391 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: you would have made. So I'm a ride it out guy. 392 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 2: But I've got to admit this current period has got 393 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 2: me slightly concerned. But we'll see rank you spinning by 394 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 2: the dip, thank you. I think the dip may be 395 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 2: around for a while, so no need to rush anyway. 396 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 2: The Washington Post with an interesting infographic article here see 397 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 2: which jobs are most threatened by AI and who may 398 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 2: be able to adapt. It's one of the most urgent 399 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: questions about artificial intelligence and one of the hardest to answer. 400 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 2: We'll start with the something fairly obvious, but to informative. 401 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: Some jobs may remain in demand while other's decline. Obviously, 402 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,959 Speaker 2: web designers and secretaries are at high risk, janitors not 403 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 2: so much. According to one recent study, AI can't do 404 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 2: janitorial work until the janebots come along. I guess interestingly, 405 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 2: this big study, I can't remember who the thin thing was, 406 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter. But there's another dimension of the picture. 407 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: Some workers will find it easier to adapt. The researchers 408 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: argue based on factors like their savings, age, and transferable skills. 409 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 2: Like most web designers will be completely out of work, 410 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 2: but they're young, reasonably well off, and pretty bright, and 411 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: so they will have better prospect than say, secretaries that 412 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 2: are largely held by women, and often of a more 413 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 2: advanced age than say, you're average a web designer, coder, 414 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 2: that sort of thing. Hey, executive producer Hanson just said 415 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 2: in my ear that he saw a janitor robot at 416 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 2: the airport the other day. The clean bought four thousand. 417 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 2: It's an excellent, excellent unit. Yeah, yeah, I'm not surprised. 418 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 2: In fact, that was one of the first things I 419 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: thought when I saw this. I'm like, wait a minute, 420 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 2: just basic cleaning. I mean the turtlet cleaning. The turtlet's 421 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 2: fairly complex work. You got the contours, you got the seat, 422 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 2: you at the top, you got the Liz home. But 423 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:31,959 Speaker 2: a floor though, is like, yeah, nothing clearly robot work. Yeah, yeah, anyway, 424 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 2: Some of your least exposed professions include fire fighters and 425 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 2: uh boy, this chart is really hard to read. Physical 426 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: stuff or messy stuff where you try in ten lines 427 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 2: to explain what this person should do to accomplish their job. 428 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: If it's what they call a messy job, that calls 429 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 2: for a lot of creativity and a lot of interpreting 430 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 2: things as you go, AI will take a very very 431 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 2: long time to replace it, if it ever happens. But 432 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 2: the most exposed include public relations specialists, writers and authors, 433 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 2: customer service reps, interpreters, translators, secretaries, that sort of stuff, 434 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 2: legal assistance I've heard mentioned over and over again. But 435 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 2: they concluded that again the many people at most at 436 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 2: risk are best place to find new jobs. So the 437 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 2: effects are a guess at best. And when is the 438 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: other thing that's a guess too? How soon does this 439 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 2: happen three o'cllect this afternoon. Does this happen like in 440 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 2: the next year or is this ten years out? It's 441 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 2: a great, great question. One interesting aspect of this research, 442 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 2: which again is about as thorough as it can get, 443 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 2: but still concedes that you know, we're doing our best, 444 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 2: but it's you know, take this seriously but not literally, 445 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 2: was what they actually said. Women make up about eighty 446 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 2: six percent of the most vulnerable workers, the researchers said, 447 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 2: suggesting the negative effects of automation will not be born 448 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 2: equally across society. Of course I won't. I thought that 449 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 2: was really interesting. And again this is a visual chart, 450 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 2: so it's hard to explain, but I find the premise 451 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: just dummed even throw out there like it insults your intelligence, 452 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 2: all right, and why is that even? Why did you 453 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 2: right there? Right right? That's what I'm saying the young 454 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,479 Speaker 2: person in the leftist person's view, that that's an important 455 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 2: look at with everything that AI doesn't affect everybody equally young, 456 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: old men, women, education level, socioeconomic background. It needs to 457 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 2: affect everybody exactly equally, or what the universe is wrong? 458 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 2: What the hell are you even talking about? Do you 459 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,719 Speaker 2: remember how hard they worked during COVID to spin various 460 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 2: narratives like it's hitting women more harder than men, and 461 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 2: then it turned out to be the opposite. Black people 462 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 2: are bearing the bread, the underprivileged seemed to be. Yeah, 463 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 2: come on, everything is such a guess around AI. No 464 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 2: doubt about that. Yeah, I'm currently in a stance of 465 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 2: less concern than I was a couple of months ago. 466 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 2: Not exactly sure why. It might just be because of 467 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 2: my day to day dealing with electronics and how often 468 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: it still fails on a very very basic level. And 469 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 2: I think, well, if they haven't fixed this yet. Yeah, 470 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: and the folks touting the positives are desperate for investments, 471 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 2: so you got to take their prognostications with a grain 472 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 2: of salt. That's true. At the same time, if I 473 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 2: was thirty years old with a couple of kids, oh man, 474 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 2: I would be Uh. I'm in that situation. I got 475 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 2: a fourteen year old and the sixteen year old, and 476 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 2: I haven't got the slightest idea how to prepare them 477 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 2: or what I should be telling them to prepare to 478 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 2: go out into the world. No idea. Have a smile 479 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 2: on your face and treat people well. Allo than that, 480 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 2: I can't tell you anything, and look into pencil sales, 481 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 2: have a good firm handshake. That's about all I got 482 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 2: for you. I have no idea what you're gonna be 483 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 2: doing for a living or whether you should learn you know. 484 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 2: Just a couple of years ago, it was like, have 485 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: your kid learned to code, Now, that would be an 486 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 2: awful idea. It's like telling your kid to become a blacksmith, 487 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 2: right and learn to shoe horses. Yeah, in fact, that 488 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: might be more valuable than coding at this point. At 489 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 2: least you can you find some hipsters in some state 490 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 2: where they want to have horseshoes? Yeah, yeah, I just 491 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 2: I think, and I don't know this. I would like 492 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: to see some reasonably good polling on this. How do 493 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: most people feel about this? My own feeling again, but 494 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 2: I you know, I don't have mouths to feed really 495 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 2: at this point, and a family to take care of. 496 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: I have a feeling. Most people look at it like 497 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,479 Speaker 2: I can't do anything about it, And that's where I am. 498 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 2: I have no idea what's going to happen. It's not 499 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 2: like my lack of effort is the problem. Nobody has 500 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 2: any idea what's going to happen? So right, So I'm 501 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 2: just gonna, you know, keep my eyes and ears open 502 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 2: and adapt as it comes. I guess what's the option? 503 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 2: There isn't one cry cry yourself to sleep. Still, long 504 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 2: lines at a lot of your airports TSA shortages continue 505 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: to be a problem. There's no end in sight of 506 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 2: this government. Did you even know there was a government 507 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: shut down? That's what the problem is. And we got 508 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 2: that story we can dip into, among other things. Stick 509 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 2: around well for those not familiar with her act the 510 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 2: First Partner of California, the would be First Lady of 511 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 2: the United States, although she'll call herself First Partner. Jennifer 512 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 2: Siebel Newsom is a hardcore leftist graft merchant who promoting Newsome. 513 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: She's married to Gavin Yes, indeed, indeed, and she is 514 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 2: a hardcore promoter of the gender bending madness and transitioning 515 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 2: kids and teaching sex changes in schools and stuff like that. 516 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 2: And then she makes documentary films that then the state 517 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 2: buys and pays her for and many, many many dollars 518 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 2: change hands. It's unbelievable. So she's a force for both 519 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 2: graft and evil. Anyway, can you imagine this woman as 520 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 2: the first Lady? She gave a little speech the other day. 521 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 2: We'll start with one hundred, Michael, there's so much. 522 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 5: To learn from same sex couples who have learned to 523 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 5: communicate and who also are like, well, look, you know, 524 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 5: someone's got to do the care work in a same 525 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 5: sex mail couple. 526 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 2: Someone's got to do that. 527 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,479 Speaker 5: So I'm just going to do it. And this is 528 00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 5: like and not be afraid or ashamed because it's part 529 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 5: of being you. We're all on a spectrum, right, It's 530 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 5: just how society kind of pushes us and pressures us 531 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 5: into these limiting gender roles. 532 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 2: What she's one of those people, a full on well 533 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 2: Gavin seems so practical to me to that's interesting. There's more. 534 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 5: But again, the folks on the fire right they're missing 535 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 5: is just this they're they're living in this silo, this 536 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 5: evangelical conservative silo that ultimately is it's it's just pulling 537 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 5: us back as a country to a time and a 538 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 5: place where we don't deserve to be, and we're not 539 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 5: going to be because honestly, young women and fathers of 540 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 5: daughters are awake now and they're woke and they're not 541 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 5: going to let us go back. And so I have 542 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 5: so much hope because of that. And obviously California has 543 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 5: a huge responsibility going back. 544 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 2: To what what is she talking about. She's pro sex 545 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 2: change for children, that's all you need to know. But 546 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 2: she's talking about, you know, the woman in four into 547 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 2: the caregiver role, a housekeeper. Where is trying to drag 548 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 2: us back? Where's this happening? Fathers of daughters? Wait, I 549 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 2: am w are woke? Now they've come around, so all 550 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 2: we're all on a spectrum. Wow, that's straight out of 551 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 2: the neo Marxist stuff. There's that's that's a bigger issue. 552 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, boy, what a whacked We don't live in 553 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 2: that universe every day. It sounds seems terry, very uh tiring. 554 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, although you get a lot of positive reinforcement 555 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 2: from your fellow Marxist, Good for you. Yeah. So here's 556 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 2: a bit of a philosophical question. We're both on record 557 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 2: many times the saying we don't give a damn about 558 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 2: the first lady is a concept that smacks of royalty. 559 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 2: It's silly. I don't care if a president's wife, if 560 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 2: he has one, is completely a political it just keeps 561 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 2: to herself or knows whatever, runs an ad agency or 562 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 2: knits all day. I don't care. I don't need them 563 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 2: to have a cause. I don't care what they wear. 564 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 2: It's irrelevant. On the other hand, if that first lady, 565 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 2: first partner person is a political activist and very very 566 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 2: active and also making zillions of dollars. That's a fair 567 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 2: target to me. Well, that obviously scatty boy ran for president. 568 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 2: If you've been following East Coast media, that's been a 569 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 2: topic with mom Donnie because his wife is very out 570 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 2: there with a lot of controversial comments, particularly around Israel, 571 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 2: and he well, she's she's retweeted celebrations of October seventh 572 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 2: and also retweeted denials that any Israeli women were raped 573 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 2: on that day, right, And then his pushback a couple 574 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 2: of weeks ago when that story burst forth was that, hey, hey, 575 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 2: she's off limits. I'm the ran one, I ran for office, 576 00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 2: I'm the mayor. She's just you know, she's just my wife. 577 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 2: Than this conversation was had, Well, if you're gonna be 578 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 2: out there making political statements and be on the cover 579 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 2: of lots of magazines doing interviews, well then your fair game. Yeah, yeah, 580 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 2: I'd say so. And the idea that if you know, 581 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 2: some Republican politician's wife was in the Klan Lady Auxiliary 582 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 2: or something or some sort of you know, women to 583 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 2: return black people to Africa or something like that, the 584 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 2: idea that nobody would comment on that, it's beyond hilarious. 585 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 2: It's ludicrous, so uh. Senator Mullen, who was up for 586 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 2: DHS secretary and had a hearing yesterday, got into it 587 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 2: a lot with Rand. Paul. We played some of it yesterday. 588 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 2: We're gonna have some more of it in our three 589 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,919 Speaker 2: as an interesting conversation between two Republicans that I think 590 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,760 Speaker 2: you'll find entertaining now. They just did have their vote, 591 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 2: and because John Fetterman was a yes, he said we 592 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 2: need a DHS secretary. We can't pause, and he voted yes, 593 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 2: it does advance and Senator de Mullen looks like we'll 594 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 2: end up being the DHS secretary, so Fetterman canceled out 595 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 2: Rand's no vote in effect. Interesting. Speaking of hearings, the 596 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 2: Worldwide Threats hearing was yesterday and Tulsy Gabbard was in 597 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 2: the hot seat Man. She said some interesting things that 598 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 2: contrasted a bit with her boss. We'll get to that 599 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 2: as well, right. I don't think he listens to her, 600 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 2: but it is still interesting. So if you miss a segment, 601 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 2: get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and 602 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 2: Getty
