Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong Show, Getty Armstrong and Jett
Speaker 1: and he.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: What we should note is the reality on the ground,
Speaker 3: and that is that Iran still has the ability to
Speaker 3: launch missiles and drones at Israel and Golf countries. And
Speaker 3: I spoke with a senior Israeli military official a few
Speaker 3: days ago who indicated the incoming ballistic missile fire toward
Speaker 3: Israel is expected to last for a few more weeks,
Speaker 3: and so this is not anywhere close to over. And
Speaker 3: Iran showed yesterday by targeting the energy infrastructure in the
Speaker 3: Golf that they are willing to escalate this conflict and
Speaker 3: target countries that have not previously targeted them.
Speaker 2: That's ranks the Fox saying this is not anywhere close
Speaker 2: to over. Yeah, that a little surprising to me. So
Speaker 2: we've we and Israel have pounded the crap out of
Speaker 2: Iran now for two and a half weeks, and they
Speaker 2: still had plenty of power left to attack that gas
Speaker 2: field in Qatar yesterday for instance, right right, And I
Speaker 2: find myself uneasy, partly because, as usual, I have complaints
Speaker 2: about Donald Jay and the way he communicates that back
Speaker 2: and forth. We're about over, it's about done any minute now,
Speaker 2: and then you know, the next day or ten minutes later,
Speaker 2: it's well, there's a lot still to be done. That's
Speaker 2: going to take some time. So I have no idea
Speaker 2: what the plan was. Maybe this is precisely the plan.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's going to be at least six weeks
Speaker 2: of extensive bombing, and we expect it for tag attacks
Speaker 2: and all. This is all a surprise. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: this is precisely the plan. Applies to any war in
Speaker 2: the history of war once you're a couple of weeks in,
Speaker 2: because fair point, it's the whole everybody's got a plan
Speaker 2: until they get punched in the face scenario. That seems
Speaker 2: to be true about who's calling the shots though, who's
Speaker 2: fed Okay, time for us to attack the gas fields?
Speaker 2: Who made that call? Treyank's reports on the who's in
Speaker 2: charge part of this.
Speaker 3: We don't know who is in charge of Iran right now.
Speaker 3: We've not yet seen any proof of life from Mushtaba
Speaker 3: kham And II.
Speaker 2: The current Supreme leader of Iran.
Speaker 3: Last night, through state media, he reportedly released a statement
Speaker 3: calling for the avenging of the death of Ali Larajani,
Speaker 3: the top official who was killed just about forty eight
Speaker 3: hours ago. But we are seeing a concerted effort by
Speaker 3: the Israelis and the Americans to take out what remains
Speaker 3: of the leadership structure there, not just Larajani, but also
Speaker 3: yesterday we reported the intelligence minister of Iran and also
Speaker 3: a top besieged commander. We expect these types of strikes
Speaker 3: to continue, but the Iranians are filling the shoes of
Speaker 3: these leaders, and they are still firing on a variety
Speaker 3: of different locations across the Middle East.
Speaker 2: So I'm like an Iranian general or a Republican guard guy,
Speaker 2: and I hear you need to take vengeance in the
Speaker 2: name of Lauren Johnny, I'm thinking, m already at war
Speaker 2: with everything we've got. We've attacked all our neighbors. We're
Speaker 2: sending drones like everywhere they can. What would that look
Speaker 2: like exactly, mister Ayatola. I'm just still work shopping here.
Speaker 2: Don't cut my head off. But uh man, when you
Speaker 2: say don't cut my head off and r on, you
Speaker 2: mean it. Yeah. So, but it's so interesting to know
Speaker 2: how much communication do they have. Did word get around.
Speaker 2: Are there people in charge of what? I'm in charge
Speaker 2: of this militia, You're in charge of the Republican Guard,
Speaker 2: You're in charge of the I don't know, the Mullah's
Speaker 2: Secret Defense Force or whatever. There's like so many different entities.
Speaker 2: And did somebody here yesterday we attacked the gas field?
Speaker 2: What whose idea was that? I mean almost certainly is
Speaker 2: that the way it's going down? Who's eye? Who made
Speaker 2: that decision? I don't know. So we're not trying to
Speaker 2: line up support in the region now, we're trying to
Speaker 2: alienate native everybody. Yeah, yeah, Well, I'm told that the
Speaker 2: military and the Republican Guard has gone to a much
Speaker 2: more decentralized command structure because it has to. You got
Speaker 2: no choice. As to what Pete Hegsat said a couple
Speaker 2: hours ago.
Speaker 4: The last job anyone in the world wants right now,
Speaker 4: senior leader for the IRGC or besiege temp jobs, all
Speaker 4: of them. And to borrow a page from Admiral Ernest
Speaker 4: King in World War Two, we've decided to share the
Speaker 4: ocean with Iran. We've given them the bottom half. We've
Speaker 4: damaged or sunk over one hundred and twenty of their
Speaker 4: Navy ships with battle damage assessments pending for many more.
Speaker 2: Man, that's some vintage wise assery there, that line from
Speaker 2: WW two. I don't know. I don't know what I think.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I like the Wise astery, sometimes I don't. I
Speaker 2: don't know. We're sharing the ocean with them. We'll give
Speaker 2: them the bottom half. That's hilarious. Although I was thinking
Speaker 2: as I listened to Secretary Pete, who in a lot
Speaker 2: of ways I think is doing a bang up job.
Speaker 2: But if this were a movie and he was a
Speaker 2: character in it, I'd be like, you should have gotten
Speaker 2: a better actor. This guy's just there's no subtlety to
Speaker 2: this performance. You know. All he's got is I'm a
Speaker 2: fast talking, hard ass. So yesterday was the biggest escalation
Speaker 2: of the war since it's began. Iran attacked the world's
Speaker 2: largest oil field, which is partially in their country in Qatar.
Speaker 2: Qatar attacked or Israel first attack to the largest oil
Speaker 2: field in Iran. Then Iran attacked to the world's largest
Speaker 2: oil field that they share in Qatar, and so it's
Speaker 2: on there. So Pete Hegzath said this Today.
Speaker 4: We've struck over seven thousand targets across Iran. And its
Speaker 4: military infrastructure that is not incremental, that is overwhelming force
Speaker 4: applied with precision. And again today will be the largest
Speaker 4: strike package yet, just like yesterday was. As I've said
Speaker 4: from day one, our capabilities continue to build, Iran's continue
Speaker 4: to degrade. We're hunting and striking death and destruction from above.
Speaker 2: Well, that's interesting. It's going to be the biggest strike
Speaker 2: package so far in the war, and it increases every day.
Speaker 2: And is Iran still has the ability to you know,
Speaker 2: work their mayhem like they did yesterday. Right, So what
Speaker 2: happens now is reading from Mark Alprin's newsletter and he's
Speaker 2: talking to lots of people inside the Pentagon, in inside
Speaker 2: the White House with the plans are mentioned earlier. The
Speaker 2: Pentagon is reportedly preparing to request another two hundred billion
Speaker 2: dollars for the effort. And that's where Congress could get involved, obviously,
Speaker 2: if they wanted to slow this down by by not
Speaker 2: allowing that or having some serious debate about it. We'll
Speaker 2: see if that happens or not. Among the options now
Speaker 2: being according to Halprin's sources, are the seizure of carg
Speaker 2: Island that's a strategic nerve center for Iran's oil exports.
Speaker 2: There's also the prospect of deploying ground forces along segments
Speaker 2: of the Iranian coast to secure freedom of navigation through
Speaker 2: the Strait of Horror Moves. It is a scenario that
Speaker 2: would make naval historians nod grimly mark Alperrin Wrights. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so we've got twenty five hundred marines that are going
Speaker 2: to be there like today or tomorrow, and we're sending
Speaker 2: another twenty five hundred marines they announced today for a
Speaker 2: total of five thousand. If you had announced at the
Speaker 2: beginning of the war, we're going to have five thousand
Speaker 2: or who knows how many thousand marines on the ground
Speaker 2: securing the Strait of Horror Moves. I don't know how
Speaker 2: that would upold on that topic, and I found this
Speaker 2: very interesting. The latest deployment is the thirty first Marine
Speaker 2: Expeditionary Unit, a rapid response force of about twenty two
Speaker 2: hundred marines to the Middle East. The US could use
Speaker 2: the unit to seize one or more of the islands
Speaker 2: off the southern coast of Iran, to use it as
Speaker 2: leverage or as a base to counter Iranian attacks on
Speaker 2: commercial shipping. In short, to help secure the Strait. The
Speaker 2: unit is slated to arrive in the Middle East from
Speaker 2: Japan in just over a week. It's amazing how slowly
Speaker 2: things move when you're moving this much gear. But here's
Speaker 2: the really interesting part. A marine expeditionary unit is a
Speaker 2: self sustained unit that operates off ships, using them as
Speaker 2: a mobile base. It is composed of four elements. A
Speaker 2: ground combat unit of marine infantry equipped with armored vehicles
Speaker 2: and artillery. I think we all kind of pictured that
Speaker 2: when we heard two hundred twenty five hundred marines. Also
Speaker 2: an aviation unit of MV twenty two ospre rotor aircraft,
Speaker 2: helicopters and jet fighters such as the F thirty five B.
Speaker 2: A command team that coordinates the unit's movement, and a
Speaker 2: logistics battalion that provides essential support, supply and equipment maintenance.
Speaker 2: It specializes in conducting raids by sea and by air.
Speaker 2: So when you hear that the marine expeditionary unit is
Speaker 2: twenty two hundred marines, it's a hell of a lot
Speaker 2: more than that. It is a coordinated attack a juggernaut,
Speaker 2: and now we're gonna have two of those, it would
Speaker 2: seem that are going to be there. Yeah, that is
Speaker 2: really something. The other proposal being advanced by Richard Haas,
Speaker 2: who's always on MSNBC, used to run the some foreign
Speaker 2: policy think tank. This is an interesting idea. It involves
Speaker 2: constructing an international coalition to effectively shut down the Strait
Speaker 2: to Iranian traffic, so rather than put in forces to
Speaker 2: try to open it up for everybody else, shut it
Speaker 2: down so the Iranians can't get their ships out of there.
Speaker 2: Because as Wall Street Journal and we've repeated it over
Speaker 2: and over, Iran's actually exporting more oil than they did
Speaker 2: before the war. But it'd be a lot easier to
Speaker 2: stop that probably that it would be to open it up.
Speaker 2: So okay, now you can't get any through, So what
Speaker 2: do you want to do. Yeah, that's not a bad plan. No, no,
Speaker 2: unless they are at the true caged beast point and
Speaker 2: are not caged but a cornered beast point in the war,
Speaker 2: and then they're like, we don't have the people in
Speaker 2: infrastructure left to cash the checks we're getting for the oil.
Speaker 2: This is complete chaos, and then you'll see them in
Speaker 2: their death throes and what that looks like could be ugly.
Speaker 2: And the other thing, thank god, they don't have a nuke,
Speaker 2: no kidding. And the other thing being bandied about in
Speaker 2: the White House and the Pentagon apparently is the possibility
Speaker 2: of just expanding the scope of the US Israeli strikes,
Speaker 2: more targets, more drones, more missiles, and the strategic objective
Speaker 2: shifting significantly toward regime change, which has just kind of
Speaker 2: been all along. Fine, if the regime changes, if you
Speaker 2: just get like a more reasonable Mullah in charge, who
Speaker 2: stops trying to get a nuclear weapon, we'd be fine
Speaker 2: with that. Maybe we move toward not they gotta go,
Speaker 2: which might be where we end up if they continue
Speaker 2: to fight like this, although again it gets back to
Speaker 2: the original question of who's in charge. The mullos might
Speaker 2: not have anything to do with what's going on right now.
Speaker 2: I would love to know the level of chaos. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's got to be pretty high, I would think so.
Speaker 2: And then just one more thing to look forward to,
Speaker 2: quote unquote one topic that hasn't got a lot of
Speaker 2: discussion yet is at some point we e somebody needs
Speaker 2: to seize or destroy the highly refined nuclear material that
Speaker 2: everybody believes is stored deep under a mountain in Isfahan.
Speaker 2: That would as described by the Wallster, I'm sorry. By
Speaker 2: the New York Times, it would, by any measure, be
Speaker 2: one of the boldest and riskiest to military operations in
Speaker 2: modern American history, far more complex and dangerous than the
Speaker 2: effort to kill Osama bin Laden in twenty eleven, or
Speaker 2: sees Nicholas Maduro from his bed in early January. Nobody's
Speaker 2: certain where all the fuel is. If the canisters holding
Speaker 2: it are pierced, the escaping gas would be both toxic
Speaker 2: and radioactive. The canisters come too close together, there is
Speaker 2: the risk of an accelerating nuclear reaction. Wow, I know
Speaker 2: nothing about the physics of that. I can only assume
Speaker 2: that's accurate and not good. I can only assume that's
Speaker 2: not good. Fraught, as they say. And then at what
Speaker 2: point do gas prices natural gas prices like really get
Speaker 2: people's attention, Like it's the only thing people are talking about.
Speaker 2: If we end up with i'd say, ten dollars and
Speaker 2: count what you Yeah, are we talking about the rest
Speaker 2: of the country or California, Because we live with five
Speaker 2: dollars gas regularly in California. That would be extraordinarily shocking
Speaker 2: for much of the country to have five dollars gas. Yeah,
Speaker 2: particularly given the fact that the rest of the country
Speaker 2: has lower wages mostly than your higher cost to coastal states.
Speaker 2: But that I think I think that's the most likely
Speaker 2: scenario that I see happening, is that we we have
Speaker 2: gas prices that is like the only topic in the
Speaker 2: country for a while. No, I don't want kind of
Speaker 2: political pressure that causes Honestly, I would be shocked to
Speaker 2: avoid that, right shocked if we can avoid that. Final note,
Speaker 2: one of my friends text that I share this with
Speaker 2: Jack off the air, that hey, great to see my
Speaker 2: four to oh one k get murdered by stuff happening
Speaker 2: nine thousand miles away. It really don't give an s out.
Speaker 2: And I assured him all this little tiff will be
Speaker 2: over in the matter of days and then wealth for everyone. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was, I was kind of kidding. Uh, it could
Speaker 2: be a while. The markets are concerned. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. This is analysis so obvious and everybody's saying it,
Speaker 2: but I feel like I have to Donald J is
Speaker 2: one hundred percent got his legacy on the line right now. Oh,
Speaker 2: I'd say this was this very well could be the sentence.
Speaker 2: The first sentence in his biography obituary however you want
Speaker 2: to look at it. Yep, this whole Oran thing. Wow,
Speaker 2: A lot more on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 4: I've never felt older in my life than when I've
Speaker 4: taxed a gen Z person and they only use lowercase letters.
Speaker 2: And then I bring up, like, why do you not
Speaker 2: use capital letters? And as I said it, I felt
Speaker 2: myself developed osteoporosis, like from how old I was. She's like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I turn it off on my phone, so
Speaker 2: nothing capitalizes because it just feels so like formal. And
Speaker 2: it's like, well, older people do. And I'm like, why
Speaker 2: does it make me old to use capital letters? I
Speaker 2: don't use capital letters either. Gen Z thinks capital letters
Speaker 2: are just too intense, and a linguist agrees. I don't
Speaker 2: know if that's it. I think it's just young people
Speaker 2: separating themselves from their parents. They got to wear a
Speaker 2: different hat than their dad was there does and just
Speaker 2: I don't know. I see I see the conversations my
Speaker 2: son has with his friends, and it's almost like a
Speaker 2: foreign language. I mean, And that's not all I mean,
Speaker 2: that's just it's just I don't know what they get.
Speaker 2: Why you got to do this as a young person.
Speaker 2: We should bring back that art curator describing the masterpiece
Speaker 2: with gen Z slang that was that was really amusing.
Speaker 2: I have two completely conflicting thoughts on this. Number. One
Speaker 2: of the beginning of this article talks about how gen
Speaker 2: Z has developed many quirks that have come to define
Speaker 2: the generation, from work minimalism to soft social blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, you know, up until like the late
Speaker 2: sixties when some of the big national news organization started
Speaker 2: writing about youth culture, the adult world just kind of
Speaker 2: chuckled and ignored youth culture. But now it's like such
Speaker 2: a constant topic of conversation. It's irrelevant to me. It
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. I don't need to know it. I'm a
Speaker 2: grown up, I have a job, I have payment bills,
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. And I think that was better. We're
Speaker 2: constantly focusing on it. Of course, it was second conflicting thought,
Speaker 2: as this linguist explains it, the way we speak, the
Speaker 2: way it sounds, the way we use inflection and rises
Speaker 2: and falls and pitch, and everything I'm doing right now
Speaker 2: changes in context constantly, from a formal presentation to meeting
Speaker 2: someone new, to being with your good friends to being
Speaker 2: with your spouse blah blah blah, and the lack of
Speaker 2: capitals is the equivalent of the utterly comfortable tone of
Speaker 2: voice you use with your friend's exactly why I do
Speaker 2: it capitals at this point, they just they seem too
Speaker 2: formal to me a lot. For a lot of phrases
Speaker 2: that I throw at people, it just looks weird. It'd
Speaker 2: be like I'm saying, how are you doing today? Which
Speaker 2: you don't do. See, I'd rather lose a finger than
Speaker 2: send the grammatically incorrect text. But I understand what you're saying,
Speaker 2: and I understand what you're saying. Oh man. Yeah, Plus
Speaker 2: what young people do for each other, doesn't that they
Speaker 2: don't they stop when they grow up usually. Uh so
Speaker 2: it'll be fine, It will be fine. Yeah, it was
Speaker 2: interesting the Jeffrey Epstein crowd us like no punctuation or
Speaker 2: capitals and bad spelling, and it's kind of odd some
Speaker 2: of the elite of the planet, right, major banking news
Speaker 2: that just came across, which is either good news or
Speaker 2: disastrous news, which but that among other things on the way.
Speaker 2: I hope you can stay here. If you don't get it.
Speaker 2: Get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty got two kind of breaking news things
Speaker 1: for you coming up in a minute.
Speaker 2: Which jobs are most and least vulnerable to being replaced
Speaker 2: by AI. The latest highly scientific wild Guests started with
Speaker 2: us no kidding everything with AI as a wild guest.
Speaker 2: So first this. So we've been asking other countries to
Speaker 2: help us with opening the straight of the horror moves,
Speaker 2: and they've been giving us a stiff armold. They just
Speaker 2: put out a joint statement the UK, France, Germany, Italy,
Speaker 2: Netherlands and Japan, and Trump is sitting down with the
Speaker 2: leader of Japan today in the Oval Office. All put
Speaker 2: out a joint statement expressing readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts.
Speaker 2: There are some vague words for you. Readiness to contribute
Speaker 2: it to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the
Speaker 2: Straight of Horror moves, welcoming nations and engaging in prep
Speaker 2: planning and coordinating as ways to increase output, and called
Speaker 2: for a RAN to cease immediately it's threats, laying of minds,
Speaker 2: drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the
Speaker 2: straight commercial shipping and to comply with you in Security
Speaker 2: Cancel Resolution twenty eight to seventeen, where it goes. Nobody knows,
Speaker 2: but I think Marco Rubio might end up being one
Speaker 2: of the great secretaries of State in the history of America.
Speaker 2: I've been been a big fan of his for a
Speaker 2: long time. You see his tiny little fingerprints all over this.
Speaker 2: Oh that was unnecessary, but yes, I suspect he was
Speaker 2: central to this agreement. Yes, Okay, here's your other breaking
Speaker 2: news thing that's either a good news or horrible news.
Speaker 2: So you remember how after a bunch of big financial
Speaker 2: institutions broke the world economy, having no I don't remember.
Speaker 2: That cost me several one hundred thousand dollars in my home,
Speaker 2: and nobody went to jail, even though they were giving
Speaker 2: loans to people who were crack heads with no job
Speaker 2: and no credit, partly because the government made them so.
Speaker 2: Right after that, we put all these strict rules in
Speaker 2: place for banks. I mean, you have to have so
Speaker 2: much money held back in case something goes wrong that
Speaker 2: we never need to bail you out again. Well, we've
Speaker 2: lifted that. US regulators proposed more lenient capital rules for
Speaker 2: big banks. Officials say, simplifying the rules and the requirements
Speaker 2: intended originally to help banks survive a financial strain, we'll
Speaker 2: get banks back to lending and boost the economy. So
Speaker 2: this is either great news and that you're gonna be
Speaker 2: able to go to your big financial institutions and they're
Speaker 2: thrown around money like crazy, or we're gonna have another
Speaker 2: crash someday and all the banks you're going to say, well,
Speaker 2: we're gonna go under and bring down bring a world
Speaker 2: depression on unless you bail us out. Too big to fail.
Speaker 2: Sorry again, why don't we go ask ten economists whether
Speaker 2: this is a good idea or not and get ten
Speaker 2: different answers. America's biggest banks will be allowed to hold
Speaker 2: billions of dollars less in capital on their books under
Speaker 2: this new proposal that's expected to be voted on by
Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve later today and pass. So again, it's
Speaker 2: either good news or bad news. Wow, I'm leaning bad news.
Speaker 2: I mean is individuals you're attitude, it'll be easier to
Speaker 2: get loans, but it's gonna we're gonna end up in
Speaker 2: the same situation one of these days. These big financial
Speaker 2: institutions are gonna get into trouble and you say, hey, like,
Speaker 2: either bail us out or bring down the world economy.
Speaker 2: Your choice. Because we got no savings here. That's a
Speaker 2: feeling of precariousness that I've had for a while. It's
Speaker 2: not getting better, no kidding, And I'm way too old
Speaker 2: and lazy to like learn a new skill. Oh well,
Speaker 2: that's not that's not on the table, live off the land.
Speaker 2: I mean selling pencils and a cup on the corners.
Speaker 2: More on the table than that. Anybody want to buy
Speaker 2: a pencil. I'm not loving my chances as a pencil
Speaker 2: salesman either. Oh my god, what's my profit per unit?
Speaker 2: Unless there's some sort of international crossword puzzle craze, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go broke? Wow. Oh so I need to buy
Speaker 2: the pencils in bulk and then sell them individually for
Speaker 2: enough of a profit to be able to make my
Speaker 2: rent and feed my family. Let's say I've done the math.
Speaker 2: I need to sell per day eight point six million pencils,
Speaker 2: and you walk out your door and everybody's got like
Speaker 2: a tray of pencils walking out. I was the only
Speaker 2: one that thought of this. Wow, I hate to even
Speaker 2: go into this out of that because that feeling of
Speaker 2: precariousness I'm talking about that I think we all have, right,
Speaker 2: How do you not.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: If you don't, you're not paying attention, or I don't know,
Speaker 2: you've got to you know, five million dollars in gold
Speaker 2: bars buried in your backyard. Because I've got to admit
Speaker 2: I must stay in the market. Ride it up, ride
Speaker 2: it down guy has always done well. If you miss
Speaker 2: the upturn by a day and the turn by one day,
Speaker 2: you'll lose something like twenty five percent of the games
Speaker 2: you would have made. So I'm a ride it out guy.
Speaker 2: But I've got to admit this current period has got
Speaker 2: me slightly concerned. But we'll see rank you spinning by
Speaker 2: the dip, thank you. I think the dip may be
Speaker 2: around for a while, so no need to rush anyway.
Speaker 2: The Washington Post with an interesting infographic article here see
Speaker 2: which jobs are most threatened by AI and who may
Speaker 2: be able to adapt. It's one of the most urgent
Speaker 2: questions about artificial intelligence and one of the hardest to answer.
Speaker 2: We'll start with the something fairly obvious, but to informative.
Speaker 2: Some jobs may remain in demand while other's decline. Obviously,
Speaker 2: web designers and secretaries are at high risk, janitors not
Speaker 2: so much. According to one recent study, AI can't do
Speaker 2: janitorial work until the janebots come along. I guess interestingly,
Speaker 2: this big study, I can't remember who the thin thing was,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter. But there's another dimension of the picture.
Speaker 2: Some workers will find it easier to adapt. The researchers
Speaker 2: argue based on factors like their savings, age, and transferable skills.
Speaker 2: Like most web designers will be completely out of work,
Speaker 2: but they're young, reasonably well off, and pretty bright, and
Speaker 2: so they will have better prospect than say, secretaries that
Speaker 2: are largely held by women, and often of a more
Speaker 2: advanced age than say, you're average a web designer, coder,
Speaker 2: that sort of thing. Hey, executive producer Hanson just said
Speaker 2: in my ear that he saw a janitor robot at
Speaker 2: the airport the other day. The clean bought four thousand.
Speaker 2: It's an excellent, excellent unit. Yeah, yeah, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2: In fact, that was one of the first things I
Speaker 2: thought when I saw this. I'm like, wait a minute,
Speaker 2: just basic cleaning. I mean the turtlet cleaning. The turtlet's
Speaker 2: fairly complex work. You got the contours, you got the seat,
Speaker 2: you at the top, you got the Liz home. But
Speaker 2: a floor though, is like, yeah, nothing clearly robot work. Yeah, yeah, anyway,
Speaker 2: Some of your least exposed professions include fire fighters and
Speaker 2: uh boy, this chart is really hard to read. Physical
Speaker 2: stuff or messy stuff where you try in ten lines
Speaker 2: to explain what this person should do to accomplish their job.
Speaker 2: If it's what they call a messy job, that calls
Speaker 2: for a lot of creativity and a lot of interpreting
Speaker 2: things as you go, AI will take a very very
Speaker 2: long time to replace it, if it ever happens. But
Speaker 2: the most exposed include public relations specialists, writers and authors,
Speaker 2: customer service reps, interpreters, translators, secretaries, that sort of stuff,
Speaker 2: legal assistance I've heard mentioned over and over again. But
Speaker 2: they concluded that again the many people at most at
Speaker 2: risk are best place to find new jobs. So the
Speaker 2: effects are a guess at best. And when is the
Speaker 2: other thing that's a guess too? How soon does this
Speaker 2: happen three o'cllect this afternoon. Does this happen like in
Speaker 2: the next year or is this ten years out? It's
Speaker 2: a great, great question. One interesting aspect of this research,
Speaker 2: which again is about as thorough as it can get,
Speaker 2: but still concedes that you know, we're doing our best,
Speaker 2: but it's you know, take this seriously but not literally,
Speaker 2: was what they actually said. Women make up about eighty
Speaker 2: six percent of the most vulnerable workers, the researchers said,
Speaker 2: suggesting the negative effects of automation will not be born
Speaker 2: equally across society. Of course I won't. I thought that
Speaker 2: was really interesting. And again this is a visual chart,
Speaker 2: so it's hard to explain, but I find the premise
Speaker 2: just dummed even throw out there like it insults your intelligence,
Speaker 2: all right, and why is that even? Why did you
Speaker 2: right there? Right right? That's what I'm saying the young
Speaker 2: person in the leftist person's view, that that's an important
Speaker 2: look at with everything that AI doesn't affect everybody equally young,
Speaker 2: old men, women, education level, socioeconomic background. It needs to
Speaker 2: affect everybody exactly equally, or what the universe is wrong?
Speaker 2: What the hell are you even talking about? Do you
Speaker 2: remember how hard they worked during COVID to spin various
Speaker 2: narratives like it's hitting women more harder than men, and
Speaker 2: then it turned out to be the opposite. Black people
Speaker 2: are bearing the bread, the underprivileged seemed to be. Yeah,
Speaker 2: come on, everything is such a guess around AI. No
Speaker 2: doubt about that. Yeah, I'm currently in a stance of
Speaker 2: less concern than I was a couple of months ago.
Speaker 2: Not exactly sure why. It might just be because of
Speaker 2: my day to day dealing with electronics and how often
Speaker 2: it still fails on a very very basic level. And
Speaker 2: I think, well, if they haven't fixed this yet. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and the folks touting the positives are desperate for investments,
Speaker 2: so you got to take their prognostications with a grain
Speaker 2: of salt. That's true. At the same time, if I
Speaker 2: was thirty years old with a couple of kids, oh man,
Speaker 2: I would be Uh. I'm in that situation. I got
Speaker 2: a fourteen year old and the sixteen year old, and
Speaker 2: I haven't got the slightest idea how to prepare them
Speaker 2: or what I should be telling them to prepare to
Speaker 2: go out into the world. No idea. Have a smile
Speaker 2: on your face and treat people well. Allo than that,
Speaker 2: I can't tell you anything, and look into pencil sales,
Speaker 2: have a good firm handshake. That's about all I got
Speaker 2: for you. I have no idea what you're gonna be
Speaker 2: doing for a living or whether you should learn you know.
Speaker 2: Just a couple of years ago, it was like, have
Speaker 2: your kid learned to code, Now, that would be an
Speaker 2: awful idea. It's like telling your kid to become a blacksmith,
Speaker 2: right and learn to shoe horses. Yeah, in fact, that
Speaker 2: might be more valuable than coding at this point. At
Speaker 2: least you can you find some hipsters in some state
Speaker 2: where they want to have horseshoes? Yeah, yeah, I just
Speaker 2: I think, and I don't know this. I would like
Speaker 2: to see some reasonably good polling on this. How do
Speaker 2: most people feel about this? My own feeling again, but
Speaker 2: I you know, I don't have mouths to feed really
Speaker 2: at this point, and a family to take care of.
Speaker 2: I have a feeling. Most people look at it like
Speaker 2: I can't do anything about it, And that's where I am.
Speaker 2: I have no idea what's going to happen. It's not
Speaker 2: like my lack of effort is the problem. Nobody has
Speaker 2: any idea what's going to happen? So right, So I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna, you know, keep my eyes and ears open
Speaker 2: and adapt as it comes. I guess what's the option?
Speaker 2: There isn't one cry cry yourself to sleep. Still, long
Speaker 2: lines at a lot of your airports TSA shortages continue
Speaker 2: to be a problem. There's no end in sight of
Speaker 2: this government. Did you even know there was a government
Speaker 2: shut down? That's what the problem is. And we got
Speaker 2: that story we can dip into, among other things. Stick
Speaker 2: around well for those not familiar with her act the
Speaker 2: First Partner of California, the would be First Lady of
Speaker 2: the United States, although she'll call herself First Partner. Jennifer
Speaker 2: Siebel Newsom is a hardcore leftist graft merchant who promoting Newsome.
Speaker 2: She's married to Gavin Yes, indeed, indeed, and she is
Speaker 2: a hardcore promoter of the gender bending madness and transitioning
Speaker 2: kids and teaching sex changes in schools and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: And then she makes documentary films that then the state
Speaker 2: buys and pays her for and many, many many dollars
Speaker 2: change hands. It's unbelievable. So she's a force for both
Speaker 2: graft and evil. Anyway, can you imagine this woman as
Speaker 2: the first Lady? She gave a little speech the other day.
Speaker 2: We'll start with one hundred, Michael, there's so much.
Speaker 5: To learn from same sex couples who have learned to
Speaker 5: communicate and who also are like, well, look, you know,
Speaker 5: someone's got to do the care work in a same
Speaker 5: sex mail couple.
Speaker 2: Someone's got to do that.
Speaker 5: So I'm just going to do it. And this is
Speaker 5: like and not be afraid or ashamed because it's part
Speaker 5: of being you. We're all on a spectrum, right, It's
Speaker 5: just how society kind of pushes us and pressures us
Speaker 5: into these limiting gender roles.
Speaker 2: What she's one of those people, a full on well
Speaker 2: Gavin seems so practical to me to that's interesting. There's more.
Speaker 5: But again, the folks on the fire right they're missing
Speaker 5: is just this they're they're living in this silo, this
Speaker 5: evangelical conservative silo that ultimately is it's it's just pulling
Speaker 5: us back as a country to a time and a
Speaker 5: place where we don't deserve to be, and we're not
Speaker 5: going to be because honestly, young women and fathers of
Speaker 5: daughters are awake now and they're woke and they're not
Speaker 5: going to let us go back. And so I have
Speaker 5: so much hope because of that. And obviously California has
Speaker 5: a huge responsibility going back.
Speaker 2: To what what is she talking about. She's pro sex
Speaker 2: change for children, that's all you need to know. But
Speaker 2: she's talking about, you know, the woman in four into
Speaker 2: the caregiver role, a housekeeper. Where is trying to drag
Speaker 2: us back? Where's this happening? Fathers of daughters? Wait, I
Speaker 2: am w are woke? Now they've come around, so all
Speaker 2: we're all on a spectrum. Wow, that's straight out of
Speaker 2: the neo Marxist stuff. There's that's that's a bigger issue.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, boy, what a whacked We don't live in
Speaker 2: that universe every day. It sounds seems terry, very uh tiring.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, although you get a lot of positive reinforcement
Speaker 2: from your fellow Marxist, Good for you. Yeah. So here's
Speaker 2: a bit of a philosophical question. We're both on record
Speaker 2: many times the saying we don't give a damn about
Speaker 2: the first lady is a concept that smacks of royalty.
Speaker 2: It's silly. I don't care if a president's wife, if
Speaker 2: he has one, is completely a political it just keeps
Speaker 2: to herself or knows whatever, runs an ad agency or
Speaker 2: knits all day. I don't care. I don't need them
Speaker 2: to have a cause. I don't care what they wear.
Speaker 2: It's irrelevant. On the other hand, if that first lady,
Speaker 2: first partner person is a political activist and very very
Speaker 2: active and also making zillions of dollars. That's a fair
Speaker 2: target to me. Well, that obviously scatty boy ran for president.
Speaker 2: If you've been following East Coast media, that's been a
Speaker 2: topic with mom Donnie because his wife is very out
Speaker 2: there with a lot of controversial comments, particularly around Israel,
Speaker 2: and he well, she's she's retweeted celebrations of October seventh
Speaker 2: and also retweeted denials that any Israeli women were raped
Speaker 2: on that day, right, And then his pushback a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks ago when that story burst forth was that, hey, hey,
Speaker 2: she's off limits. I'm the ran one, I ran for office,
Speaker 2: I'm the mayor. She's just you know, she's just my wife.
Speaker 2: Than this conversation was had, Well, if you're gonna be
Speaker 2: out there making political statements and be on the cover
Speaker 2: of lots of magazines doing interviews, well then your fair game. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'd say so. And the idea that if you know,
Speaker 2: some Republican politician's wife was in the Klan Lady Auxiliary
Speaker 2: or something or some sort of you know, women to
Speaker 2: return black people to Africa or something like that, the
Speaker 2: idea that nobody would comment on that, it's beyond hilarious.
Speaker 2: It's ludicrous, so uh. Senator Mullen, who was up for
Speaker 2: DHS secretary and had a hearing yesterday, got into it
Speaker 2: a lot with Rand. Paul. We played some of it yesterday.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have some more of it in our three
Speaker 2: as an interesting conversation between two Republicans that I think
Speaker 2: you'll find entertaining now. They just did have their vote,
Speaker 2: and because John Fetterman was a yes, he said we
Speaker 2: need a DHS secretary. We can't pause, and he voted yes,
Speaker 2: it does advance and Senator de Mullen looks like we'll
Speaker 2: end up being the DHS secretary, so Fetterman canceled out
Speaker 2: Rand's no vote in effect. Interesting. Speaking of hearings, the
Speaker 2: Worldwide Threats hearing was yesterday and Tulsy Gabbard was in
Speaker 2: the hot seat Man. She said some interesting things that
Speaker 2: contrasted a bit with her boss. We'll get to that
Speaker 2: as well, right. I don't think he listens to her,
Speaker 2: but it is still interesting. So if you miss a segment,
