Jack Armstrong is Joe, Ketty Armstrong and 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:25.680 Jetty and he Armstrong and Yeddy Oh Foreman connected. I 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:30.320 think he hurt.

It is over in the second round. 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.760 George Foreman becoming heavyweight champion of the world back in 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.240 what year was that seventy three something like that, something 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:55.120 like that, Yeah, and Howard Cosell making the call. George 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.840 Foreman died over the weekend. The reason we're playing that 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.320 if you don't know boxing, you know him from the grill. 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.600 The George Foreman grill turned it into a gazillion dollar empire. 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.880 I was just gonna ask Michael to repeat his touching 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:11.080 and thorough What do you call it biography? No, it's 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:15.360 an autography. No, when you guys ulig, no, that's not 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:20.160 it either. Anyway, you're you're touching. Preview tribute to George Foreman, 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.959 Michael Great Boxer and a better grilled salesman. Yeah, he's 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:25.440 looking at me like, what are you talking at? What 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.560 you want to hear? Click twelve? Sure it's really good. Yeah. 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.280 A friend of mine, I said, jeege, you're making all 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.120 these other companies wealthy. Why don't you get your own product? 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.920 And we looked around and found the grill. No one 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:37.880 wanted to be bothered with it at all. They had 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.520 names for it, joked for it, and the grease really 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.520 rolled off, and they still tender. I hated it. I said, boy, 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.840 let's do it. But I never expected it to be 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.120 so successful. And then all of a sudden, the checks 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:52.160 just started rolling in. This thing sold over one hundred million. 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:58.360 He told obituary. That's the world is a hundred million. 0:01:58.840 --> 0:01:59.920 George Forman grills. 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:01.000 Wow. 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:06.080 You know, such an interesting guy making seventy six is 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.080 that right? Having made your living getting punched in the 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.320 head for a number of years is pretty impressive. But 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:18.680 he had such a cheerful attitude about life once he 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.960 made the Christian turn. Before that, he did not. 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.720 I don't know if you've ever watched the documentary When 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.600 We Were Kings, which won an Oscar Fantastic Movie. If 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.040 you like the whole thing. It's all about Foreman and 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.960 Ali and that particular fight. But George Foreman was a 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.440 bad person and an angry person with never a smile 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.760 on his face up until the point that he found 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.400 Jesus in a locker room and became a completely different 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.960 human being, which is its own amazing story. 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:51.040 Yeah, yeah, indeed. Yeah. Boy, if you're old enough to 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.440 remember the heyday of boxing in the early seventies, when 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:57.359 it was Foreman, Nali and Frasier trading the crown back 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:02.160 and forth and just great fights. Remember because when George 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.720 Foreman knocked up George Joe Fraser there to become the 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.480 heavyweight champion of the world, it was such a big 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.720 deal at that time. I remember asking my mom before 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.480 I left the house to get on the bus one 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.320 more time, what is the name? Because I needed to 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.120 know the name of who the new heavyweight champion of 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.639 the world was to be. You know, part of the 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.440 cool crowd is like an eight year old or whatever, 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.639 because that's just something you had to know. Can you 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.440 imagine that these no, no, no, my kids, you got 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:29.280 to know mister Beast's latest count just to giveaway, right, 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.519 A couple of Chris Foreman could have whooped mister Beast's ass, by. 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:38.160 The way, even in his forties, because George Foreman came 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.040 back and won the heavyweight title again when he was 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:44.600 forty four or something like fairly. 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.680 Sad fight, as I recall, and he took a lot 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:47.200 of punches. 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:50.600 So a couple of things I want to get to 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:52.920 later that have nothing to do with politics before I 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.960 launch into this political pulling. I listened to a podcast 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.760 about from an astrophysicist about life and space and that 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.120 sort of stuff that was so flippant interesting, and I 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:04.240 learned a bunch of things I didn't know. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.440 I want to talk about that later. And then this. 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:13.080 A person I know, Boy, I gotta be really vague. 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:14.880 I don't want to get them in trouble because this 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.239 is not particularly cool. I got a bunch of screen 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:27.039 captures of a group conversation online from women who are 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:35.520 using AI as therapists, and particularly advice on how to 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.320 talk to their husband about various things like in an 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.520 argument like, HEYI my husband said this, what should I say? 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:43.640 And then the AI lays it out for him, and 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.240 then they go tell their husband that now is. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:47.800 This a good thing or a bad thing? 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.000 Or a weird thing, because to me, obviously the weird 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.720 thing is what if your husband's asking AI it's powder 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.640 respond of this, and it's really just two computers talking 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.680 each other, and you're like barely. 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:04.279 Fall I don't know. It's like you're watching the show 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.240 or reading a column, an advice column, and you kind 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.560 of recognize yourself. Then it's all about the you know, 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:19.600 the output. How's the advice? Well, who knows? Who knows? Well? 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.800 You look at some of the hallucinations the AI has 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.200 these days, or inventing court cases. I guess that is 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.600 a hallucination or or my god, some of the stories 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:33.520 we've heard about teenagers who have had quote unquote relationships 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:37.080 with some AI somewhere that's like told them, you know, 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.920 some teams your age cut themselves to show people that 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.839 they're not happy. So, I mean the women terrible advice. 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.200 These women are talking about the great comfort they get, 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:47.440 you know, and they have had a rough day to 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.760 talk to their AI therapist and it just feels like, 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.800 you know, the AI really listens and. 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.039 And that's what they like talking. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:59.000 I think we're going down a really weird fricking road. Man, Yeah, 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.440 happened to an extent. I didn't realize that's what That's 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.000 what I got from reading all these messages. It's already 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.440 going on. It's I've been presenting it as you know, 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.080 in the future. People might no, no, no, it's already happening 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:15.120 way more than I realized. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, these 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.320 are like very regular assault of the earth, normal people 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:19.000 type people. 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.480 Not this isn't yeah weirdos and work at a university 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.520 or something. Yeah. I'm fully on board and pretty aware 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.280 of how sideways this sort of thing can go these days. 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.799 Especially at the same time though, I mean, I'm picturing 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.520 like I'll just use my wife, who's who's retired at 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:37.440 this point, but and and living off of my large 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:43.120 ass the way anyway, like a lifestyle to which she's 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.800 become accustomed. Do you think it's okay that she's living 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.800 off my large s ai? So anyway, But you know, 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:51.440 there may have been a time or two in her 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.479 past where she had a really challenging coworker, for instance, 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.000 I mean just kind of a pain in the arse, 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.919 and would come home and she'd ask her ai oh 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:07.040 ai advice column thingy counselor deally my coworkers, you know, 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.520 very bitchy and negative all the time, and blah blah blah. 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.800 How should I deal with it? I could see getting 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.720 some decent advice about how to navigate through that sort 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.360 of thing. I am not okay with this at all. 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.520 I'm surprised you are, and maybe you're right, but I 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.000 am not okay with this at all. Taking out the 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.040 human element. I just think it's awful. 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.280 Oh well, hang on now, hang on. I say, there 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:36.679 are books, there are magazine written by people. Well, AI 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:42.200 is written by people. It's just chaitterizing those people without 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.280 paying them. Well it can be. 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:50.600 I mean it's it's theoretically synthesizing everything it has read 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:52.240 into a coherent answer. 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.720 I'm not saying it's without danger. I just don't think 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.800 it's automatically bad. 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.560 So, well, this is what the AI told one person. 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.360 For instance, you're used to managing his emotions, and now 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.560 that he's upset or at least quiet, it's triggering your guilt. 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:10.520 But you're right. 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.040 You shouldn't feel guilty. You didn't do anything wrong. You 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.560 were thoughtful in your message, and it's okay to want 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.320 to date yourself after explaining to the AI what went on. 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.680 I just find this very weird. That's getting pretty specific. 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.200 If he chooses to be upset, that's on him. You're 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.280 allowed to take care of yourself, even if it doesn't 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:28.480 matches unspoken xps. 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.800 Oh, that's getting very very specific. Okay, it's not you know, 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.000 some people have negative energy and it's best to see 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:35.720 her around them. I mean, that's okay. 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.880 That's like, in this situation which you have described, you're 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:43.680 the good guy, he's the ahle oh boy, which is well, 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.160 it fits in with therapy. That's what therapists do almost always. 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.600 That's why, like ninety percent of therapy is worthless. That's 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.360 what a therapy does. They co sign your bs a therapist. 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.320 Most of the time, you're you're a write and down 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.400 trodden and they are awful human beings and need to 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:57.959 adjust to you. 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.440 That's that's what you get almost always from therapy. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.240 So it's not surprising that AI therapy would be feeding 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.840 people that. But it's just I don't know the companionship, 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:13.280 the the the leaning on the chat bought for these conversations, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.679 and at some point you're gonna stop talking to. 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:18.839 Your friends about it. You can only talk to the 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.400 computer about it. That's the problem. It's the as opposed 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.280 to talking to a friend, calling your mom, you know, 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:30.000 talking it out with your husband, trying to you know. Yeah, yeah, 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.120 you're right. I'm on board. It's evil. It's horrifying. We 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:34.040 should be terrified. 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.319 I don't know if evil's the right word. But and 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.080 like I said, it's already happening. I've got many, many 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:46.520 examples that I was given by someone who just wanted 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.240 to let me know, this is how much it's happening, 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:50.840 like in my friend group already. 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.640 Wow. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Evil implies intent. I just 0:09:54.640 --> 0:10:03.719 think it's corrosive. Oh so corrosive. Yeah, the tentacles of. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.640 Especially if AI is going to lean toward you know, 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:13.560 you're the victim. You definitely want that more than maybe 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.120 if you talk to a friend and says, I don't know, 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:16.439 it sounds like he's got a good point. 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:22.400 Yeah, yeah, I as you know, I think of myself 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:28.679 as an optimistic cynic. I don't I'm a cynical. I'm 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:32.400 a nihilist cynic. Wow. Wow, how pleasant to be around. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:38.600 I would I need to see a serious inflection point 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.079 or I do believe humanity is on the path to 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:48.120 giant drops in population, huge change in the trajectory of 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.720 human occupation of the earth. We are not getting together 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.880 with our friends, we are not getting together with lovers, 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.040 we are not making babies, we are not forming families. 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.160 AI could be about to put a zillion piece a 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.439 lot of work, or reduce, certainly the need for them 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.680 to be around. I just it. 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:09.320 Feels very, very funky to me. Very many teenage sea changes. 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.040 How many teenage girls. Teenage boys too, but girls more 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.200 prone to this than boys. I think are gonna type 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.079 into the AI chat. Bought it that my mom told 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:19.880 me I can't this, do this and that. What do 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:26.760 you think I think your mom is being overly protective? Yeah, yeah, 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:34.640 well ye eh. No country for old men, glad. I'm 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.200 i I wish I was eighty. I wish I was 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.160 on death's door. I don't think I can handle the 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:38.760 modern world. 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.600 Michael. When mankind dies out, what do you think I've 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.480 always tended to think it'll be a planet of the beavers, 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.400 the apes in second place, in spite of their better 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.079 pr A planet of the apes and maybe the ants. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.480 What's your your pick? I'm gonna go with the beavers. Well, 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.920 you like beavers. They're hardworking, they're industrious. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:03.000 A non fun, real life, cynical nihilist answer is who 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.720 will take over is the people that populate third world 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.280 countries who aren't doing all this crap and are having 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.160 kids like crazy and are probably fundamentalist Muslims. 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.680 Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly right. I never prefer the beavers, Frank, 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:15.840 I never got. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.320 The political polling, which is really really good, among other things. 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:25.200 On the way, stay here art the President of the 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.280 United States, Donald Trump in attendance tonight at the Wells 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:29.160 Fargo Center. 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:46.400 So that's at the NCAA wrestling finals that Donald Trump 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.400 showed up to watch and uh, crowd. 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.679 Pretty excited for him to be there. It would sing, 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.240 I would say, you know those those audio tapes you 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.439 sometimes hear the president was booed and you hear kind 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.000 of said boos and a lot of cheers. Is up. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:05.040 No, that was unequivocal in my lifetime in modern politics. 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.160 The only people that have ever gotten chance like that 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:13.200 Barack Obama, Bernie and Trump. No, never anything close to 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.400 that from anybody else. Bernie on the concert circuit right 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:17.560 now drawing huge crowds. 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.320 More on that to come for Nard Sanders. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.720 So this guy Bill mcinturf he's the head polster for 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.480 NBC in Wall Street Journal, which team up for whatever 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:26.280 reason for polling. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.120 I'm not exactly sure what that's all about. Anyway. 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.520 This is like his internal on polling that Mark Alprin 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.400 put out today. In less than twenty slides, we cover 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.360 the following major storylines. Bill mcinturf, Right, you don't see 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.679 this every day. What the first slides have in common 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.280 is how unique they are with the surgeon right direction. 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:48.320 It's the first time the right direction is over forty 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:53.000 percent and one hundred and forty seven months, So that's 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.760 fourteen one hundred and twenty would be ten years, and 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.640 then he got another twenty seven months for a couple 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.840 more years. So that's a long long time since right 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:03.440 direction has been over forty percent. 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.040 Wowow and. 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.520 Historic drop in the ratings of the Democratic Party. So 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:13.000 we had that last week in other polling. But NBC's 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:14.160 polling has the same thing. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.520 As Carl ro pointed out, the Republicans are not exactly 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.640 on Super Night ground polling wise either, but you know, 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:26.080 clearly have the edge over the beleaguered, hated Democrats. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:30.680 The survey finds President Trump matching or exceeding any previous 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:34.680 positive rating for his job approval, personal rating, and the 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.520 percentage of voters saying they identify as MAGA supporters. 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.440 He is still the high water mark in all of those. Well, no, no, 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.600 I know. I've heard that the tariffs are terrifying everybody, 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.640 and he just announced that he's tightened those up. By 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.240 the way, they're not going to be as brought. And 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.680 everybody's afraid of the economy. And these deportations are crazy, 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:57.000 and the doge is out of control. That's what I heard. Yeah, well, 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:58.320 I'll get to that in just a second. 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:03.040 These positive changes basically are because Trump enjoys exceptionally strong 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.760 ratings among Republicans and his political base. A majority of 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:10.480 voters approve of President Trump's job handling of water, security 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:15.720 and immigration, so he's above water on that. Conversely, President 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.720 Trump's job rating on the economy is the lowest he's 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.920 ever had, So it's interesting that his economic numbers are 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:27.800 so low, yet he has his highest approval personal popularity, 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.520 et cetera, et cetera he's ever had. It reminds me 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:34.720 of Barack Obama, you know, speaking of crowds cheering. When 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.440 you get into the whole culture personality thing. I mean, 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.800 after Obama had been president for a while, there were 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.120 a number issues that he did not pull very well on, 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.600 but his overall number stayed high, and I could see 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:46.520 Trump being like that. 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:51.400 Sure, Yeah, absolutely, And I've long maintained if he can 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:55.640 avoid being too quick and haphazard with the economic stuff, 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.480 that gives us a hell of a lot more time 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.600 in leeway to do the really important, you know, other 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:04.040 things that our priorities, including cleaning up the universities. More 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:04.520 to come on that. 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.120 Between a plurality and a majority of voters say President 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.360 Trump is making quote the right kind of change rather 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:16.040 than the wrong kind of change on seven different policy areas, 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.920 the consistent forty plus saying the right kind of change 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.640 once again represents a hardened Trump political base. 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:25.560 I think when you have one hundred and forty seven 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:30.080 consecutive months of wrong track and then somebody offers actual, 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:35.280 substantive change as opposed to lip service and no actual change, 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.800 which has made all of us very cynical about those promises, Yeah, 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.000 you're going to have a hell of a lot of 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.400 people say, hey, let's give it a try, let's see 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.840 what happens. That's what these pull numbers feel like to me. 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.080 And then on this since it's such a hot topic 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.520 and he gets covered negatively in the news all day 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.240 every day, a plurality of voters say Doge is a 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:56.960 good idea. More tellingly, more than sixty percent of voters 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:02.720 say Doge should continue either continue as is or slow down, 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:03.600 but continue. 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:08.199 So pretty solid ground on Doge. Still the epicenter of 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:12.200 the woke mind virus. Our universities are finally getting cleaned up. 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.600 The details coming up in a moment to stay with us, 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.800 Armstrong and Getty ribbling up, big step down the lane 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:27.040 runner for the win back in Maryland is won. Maryland 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:32.040 is going to the Sweet sixteen. That was an exciting game. 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:33.919 I didn't watch the game, but I just saw the 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.639 last three minutes on a YouTube video. It went it 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.560 was like the game winning shot like five times. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:42.879 In a row is one of those. 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.080 It was one of the it makes the three pointer 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.120 and you thought the game was over, but then there's 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.120 a couple seconds left and the other team makes it, 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:51.840 and then there's a foul on the time out, and 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.240 then another one, and it just kept going back and forth, 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.200 like five times in the last minute. 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.840 Very exciting. It's very gracious of me to call for 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.080 that clip. Jack is my fighting in a line. I 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:05.640 lost in a humiliating defeat to the hated Kentuckians last night. 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:09.040 Hated can't they turned the but oh Kentuckians with their 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:13.240 weird Kentucky ways. You know what turnovers equal? Jack, You 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.360 know what they equal? They equal a loss. You protect 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.840 the rock or you lose. They fail to and they 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.800 lost some good advice right now, I don't have that 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:28.360 stay up watching games anyway. So speaking of colleges, if 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.120 you're familiar with the show, you understand that we believe 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:35.200 firmly because it's one hundred percent correct that the real 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.080 I'm trying to steer clear of my infection metaphor because 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:46.200 it's disgusting. How about we say the where the rebel 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.679 alliance is strongest, the and not the good rebel alliance 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.120 from Star Wars, the bad ones, the evildoers, Where they're 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:56.480 clustered most densely, Where the power of the woke mind 0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:00.639 virus is strongest, and where it radiates outward from is 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:04.560 education in the country, especially the colleges and universities. But 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.880 elementary education is terrible to anyway. So if we are 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.240 going to get rid of, or at least weaken the 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:16.800 neo Marxism that the woke thing represents, because remember, friends, 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:20.840 it's all about overthrowing Western civilization. Has a dozen different 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:24.320 excuses of why you have to because the patriarchy, because 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:29.160 of transphobia, because of you know, racism, systemic racism, blah 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.639 blah blah blah blah blah. It's all about overthrowing Western civilization. 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.439 But anyway, so the Trump administration is coming hard for 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.000 that sort of thing. And you probably heard that they 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:41.000 threatened to yank four hundred million dollars of funding away 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.720 from Columbia, which might be the you know, the the 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.639 center of the center of this sort of thing, along 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:48.680 with Coavid. 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:52.040 And the fact that Columbia relented on a couple of things. 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.560 The coverage of this over the weekend has been from 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.399 like op eds in the New York Times of a 0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:01.000 dark day for freedom of speech and universities and how 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.240 a hilarious freedom has been attacked and how we all 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.639 should shudder of the chill wind that is blowing with 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.320 the evil Trump people putting their finger on the scale 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.760 in college kid versus. 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.639 Thanks for sharing your opinion, Thanks versus. 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:21.240 After the Biden administration allowing gazillions of taxpayer dollars to 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.760 go to these universities where they have Jews shouldn't be 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.080 allowed on campus festivals. 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.440 And saying nothing about it. For the preaching hatred of 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.200 the United States and its constitution. 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.320 If you can, finally somebody did something. So here's what happened. 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:39.000 First, I was going to lead with this the headline 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.919 Wall Street Journal University sprint from we will not cower 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:47.120 to appeasing Trump with much of their funding at stake 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:50.160 schools or quietly hiring lobbyists and reaching out to politicians 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.320 amid Washington's quest to reign in academia. And they give 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.760 a bunch of examples. University of Michigan presidents sat down 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.040 for breakfast with a group of lawmakers from his home state, 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:01.320 and the message was clear. The school was ready to 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.840 play ball with Trump's Washington. It's time for universities to 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:07.480 wake up and start addressing the reasons why they've lost 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:11.359 so much trust. President Ono told the bipartisan group at 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:15.480 a hotel conference room. Aha added that universities should listen 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:19.680 to their most vocal critics. Well, that is refreshing. Then 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:23.600 they mentioned Columbia university they named zech Stanford and Duke 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:28.000 and wake Forest and Harvard and Vanderbilt, who have all 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:31.800 hired lobbyists to put in a good word in Washington, 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:36.120 d C. So yeah, here's why coming up. Yeah, there is. 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:44.240 Some belief some people have written that this gave various 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.600 university administrations that covered they needed to do what they 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:50.600 wanted to do and blamed only where I was going, 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:53.479 blamed on Trump so that they don't get attacked by 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:55.879 their own students. I don't know how much I believe 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:59.200 that or not, or if a lot of those universities 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.560 they were in more agreement with the students than Trump. 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:04.320 So I don't know. I think it probably varies case 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:09.920 by case, president by president. As we were saying last week, 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:15.600 they have created a monster, I'd say universities collectively, they 0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:19.720 have created a monster of a faculty and student body 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:25.640 that is so wildly radical left that they are terrified 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.360 of them. University presidents, and I think some of them 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:30.879 are thinking, oh God, yes, thank you, you gave me 0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:32.960 covered to ring in these maniacs. 0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:35.280 It's like if you let your kids run the show 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:37.040 in your house. I mean, at some point when you 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:41.399
