Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Getty and He Armstrong and Eddy not speaking that Sweet,
Speaker 1: I'm making from Republican.
Speaker 2: Who was.
Speaker 1: Very she's a registered Republican. Oh now, I love her head?
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 2: As Sidney Sweet, you'd be surprised at how many people
Speaker 2: are Republicans. That's what I wouldn't have known. But I'm
Speaker 2: glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a
Speaker 2: registered Republican, I think her head is fantastic.
Speaker 1: Trump understands that better than anybody.
Speaker 3: He understands sound bites, so he'll like, he gets information
Speaker 3: like that and he thinks, Okay, here's the sound bite
Speaker 3: Sydney's Sweeney being a ra I.
Speaker 1: Mean he repeats.
Speaker 3: That's one of the reasons he repeats things, so that
Speaker 3: there is the sound bite for everybody to grab on
Speaker 3: whatever topic.
Speaker 1: It's very clever.
Speaker 3: But yeah, well, it's surprising any young actresses is a Republican.
Speaker 3: Surprising a young person really is, But she is? And
Speaker 3: when when whatever the name of this Jean's American Eagle
Speaker 3: or whatever they are, Jeans contacted her agent and said,
Speaker 3: would she like to do a Gene ad? We'll pay her.
Speaker 3: What do you suppose she made doing that? Just a
Speaker 3: guess half million dollars too much, probably less at least,
Speaker 3: oh at least that. Oh really, I don't have any
Speaker 3: I don't have any idea, but okay, So the Jeans
Speaker 3: people call her up and say, we'll give you two
Speaker 3: million dollars to be a represented for the gene school.
Speaker 1: Where do we sign?
Speaker 3: And she goes and she does the shoot probably took
Speaker 3: two hours, with.
Speaker 1: Makeup, the whole thing.
Speaker 3: She had no idea that this is going to turn
Speaker 3: her life upside down maybe forever. She might not get
Speaker 3: roles in TV shows and movies because of this, because
Speaker 3: it's too controversial now, especially now that she's it's known
Speaker 3: that she's a registered Republican. Uh in fact, not probably guaranteed.
Speaker 3: There are shows that she would have liked to have
Speaker 3: been on Netflix, series or whatever that she won't get
Speaker 3: because it's not worth stepping in it.
Speaker 1: For the liberal left. I wonder she has no idea.
Speaker 3: That that that was going to happen when she decided
Speaker 3: to do a Genes commercial, which generally you never hear
Speaker 3: about well, you.
Speaker 4: Know, this is an interesting question that I want to
Speaker 4: consider for just a second. The reaction among like every
Speaker 4: sane person in America has been this so called backlash
Speaker 4: is stupid and nobody thinks like that, and the left
Speaker 4: or just be clowning themselves better than ever. But you
Speaker 4: think that the hardcore left in Hollywood will still think, Yeah,
Speaker 4: but she's tainted now by your association.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, they just said, just be a We've got two
Speaker 3: attractive blonds could do this role roughly the same.
Speaker 1: Why the headache? Why take on the headache? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I don't think so. I think she's bigger than that.
Speaker 4: I think it comes the other it comes out the
Speaker 4: other way.
Speaker 3: But I hope so, because it would suck for her
Speaker 3: to have her career affected by this in any way.
Speaker 1: It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 3: I mean, the controversy is ridiculous to start with, but
Speaker 3: then like attaching.
Speaker 1: It to her is even dumber.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, anyway, So a number of people made comparisons
Speaker 3: last week to an appearance jd Vance made on a
Speaker 3: podcast and the appearance that Kamala Harris made on The
Speaker 3: Colbert Show. I was watching Mark Alprin's video cast over
Speaker 3: the weekend in which they thought he is nonpartisan and
Speaker 3: then he has a Republican and a Democrat as sidekicks.
Speaker 3: All three of them thought Kamala was horrible on Colbert
Speaker 3: in a way that I didn't quite pick up on
Speaker 3: the time. Specifically, she's had six months to figure out
Speaker 3: how to answer a couple of things, and she still
Speaker 3: seemed to be like you could see your wheels spinning
Speaker 3: figuring out how.
Speaker 1: To answer what what?
Speaker 3: You don't have a practice to answer for politics today,
Speaker 3: or you're rolling in or whatever.
Speaker 1: It seemed like.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Jad, that was like, you know, back on the view,
Speaker 4: what would you do differently than Biden? Oh h gosh,
Speaker 4: well you really pinned me down on the die.
Speaker 1: I hadn't anticipated that question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was like that on Colbert after six months
Speaker 3: of probably thinking about running for president anyway, j d
Speaker 3: vance completely different level of talent, and by the way,
Speaker 3: on Mark Alpert's podcast with the Republican Democrat and Halpern
Speaker 3: all think he is far and away the most likely
Speaker 3: nominee for the Republicans and likely the next president that
Speaker 3: because he is so good in getting better. Here's him
Speaker 3: talking about to Sidney Sweeney situation on a podcast over
Speaker 3: the weekend.
Speaker 5: My political advice to the Democrats is continue to tell
Speaker 5: everybody who thinks Sidney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi.
Speaker 1: That appears to be their actual strategy.
Speaker 5: And I mean it actually reveals something pretty interesting about
Speaker 5: the Dems, though, which is that you have like a normal,
Speaker 5: all American, beautiful girl during doing like a normal genes ad. Right,
Speaker 5: they're trying to sell, you know, sell jeans to kids
Speaker 5: in America, and they have managed to so unhinge themselves
Speaker 5: over this thing. And it's like, you, guys, did you
Speaker 5: learn nothing from the November twenty twenty four election. Like
Speaker 5: I actually thought that one of the lessons they might
Speaker 5: take is we're going to be less crazy. The lesson
Speaker 5: they have apparently taken is we're going to attack people
Speaker 5: as Nazis for thinking Sidney Sweeney is beautiful.
Speaker 1: Great strategy, guys, That's how you're going to learn the
Speaker 1: mid terms.
Speaker 3: How much more comfortable is he in his own skin?
Speaker 3: The person who is most comfortable in their own skin
Speaker 3: is a person who genly wins elections. I don't think
Speaker 3: his opponent's going to be Kamala Harris. I don't think
Speaker 3: you'll even get to Iowa. But he is he is
Speaker 3: pretty good. I was thinking about.
Speaker 1: This the other day.
Speaker 4: I was listening to some fellows discuss Kamala Harris's prospects
Speaker 4: going forward, and they are miserable. They don't exist, they're
Speaker 4: they're terrible. Nobody is impressed by her. She's a loser
Speaker 4: and a dope, But you're a dope.
Speaker 1: That's talk.
Speaker 4: She is continually cited as a favorite. She topped the
Speaker 4: recent completely meaningless name recognition Democrat poll. And it occurred
Speaker 4: to me, as I was strolling along listening to this,
Speaker 4: that there is there, and nobody ever talked about this.
Speaker 4: There is a designation in the political world of a
Speaker 4: person who must be taken seriously. And it doesn't matter
Speaker 4: if in Kamala Harris's case, for instance, if she was
Speaker 4: an appointed this Willie Brown's girlfriend anointed the attorney general
Speaker 4: in a one party state, a DEI higher for vice
Speaker 4: president after she washed out completely of the primaries. I mean,
Speaker 4: it was a humiliating defeat. But in spite of all
Speaker 4: that losing, because Joe Biden plucked her to be the veep,
Speaker 4: she is a person who should be taken seriously. In
Speaker 4: the defiance of all logic, she's nothing, she will do nothing.
Speaker 4: She has gone forget her back.
Speaker 3: To the Blue gene ad and what Jade Vance was
Speaker 3: talking about, their lesson seems to have been that they
Speaker 3: learned is let's go further in wolkness.
Speaker 1: I would put it. Meanwhile, back at the third Reich.
Speaker 3: Bill Maher on his show Friday Night said, and an
Speaker 3: other uncomfortable racial news, sad news. We found out this
Speaker 3: week that Sidney Sweeney is a Nazi, and of course
Speaker 3: everybody laughed, No, she's not. But if you've seen the
Speaker 3: ad we're showing it now, she's dressed like Jay Leno.
Speaker 3: That's just a good point, which I thought was funny.
Speaker 3: And then he recites the line about the blue eyes
Speaker 3: and I have good jeens and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: He said.
Speaker 3: It also doesn't help that her bras Eyze is thirty
Speaker 3: six KKK.
Speaker 1: That's a funny lie.
Speaker 3: And that the name that she gave her boo is
Speaker 3: the Proud Boys.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's some good riffing, he said.
Speaker 3: It's also like, it's pretty funny that all the online
Speaker 3: social justice girls are like, it's racist, there's no such
Speaker 3: thing as good jeans. And then you go on Tinder
Speaker 3: and swipe left on every bald guy, which is hurtful
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 1: Of course that's true.
Speaker 3: So any comment on jeans as white supremacy, bad jeans,
Speaker 3: bad jeans, bad jeans, as he swiped through all the guys,
Speaker 3: that is pretty funny. By the way, American Eagle stock
Speaker 3: rose more than ten percent last week.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 3: Sidney Sweeney has not made a comment at all, although
Speaker 3: somebody did get out that voting information, which I don't
Speaker 3: think does her life any favors. Joe doesn't think it'll
Speaker 3: hurt her. I hope it doesn't. How she votes shouldn't
Speaker 3: make any difference anybody. And Donald Trump has another truth
Speaker 3: out today about this topic. Sidney Sweeney, a registered Republican,
Speaker 3: has the hottest in all caps add out there. It's
Speaker 3: for American Eagle and the jeans are flying off the
Speaker 3: shelves in all caps. Go get them, Sidney. On the
Speaker 3: other side of the Ledger, jaguared in a stupid and
Speaker 3: seriously woke advertisement that is a disaster. The CEO just
Speaker 3: resigned and the companies in turmoil. And he goes through
Speaker 3: a number of other examples with bud Light and that
Speaker 3: sort of stuff. So right, Trump, recognizing where you know,
Speaker 3: there's a little fire that he can jump into and
Speaker 3: make some hay with.
Speaker 4: All right, here's my favorite comment comes from this journalist
Speaker 4: by the name of Charlie Wartzell, who was writing in
Speaker 4: the Atlantic. And just as a little background, Warzel used
Speaker 4: to work at the New York Times, where he sobbed
Speaker 4: like a little girl during the emergency staff meeting, remember
Speaker 4: the mallet excuse me, maoist struggle session over whether the
Speaker 4: paper should publish that op ed by Tom Cotton.
Speaker 1: You remember how that caused that.
Speaker 4: Just a uproar within the paper that a sitting US
Speaker 4: senator would write an editorial in which he turned out
Speaker 4: to be completely correct, But it just tore their woke
Speaker 4: newsroom apart. But anyway, during the meeting over that, Wartzell
Speaker 4: is crying like a baby.
Speaker 1: Baby.
Speaker 4: Wartzell was upset because quote, none of my friends want
Speaker 4: to talk to me anymore because I worked for this horrible,
Speaker 4: evil newspaper. So anyway, here's this, this you need new friends,
Speaker 4: This half a man child now writing for the Atlantic.
Speaker 4: Let's see, he was attempting to write, I'm going to
Speaker 4: quote Andrew Styles now of the Free Beacon. He was
Speaker 4: attempting to write a cerebral lamentation about how quote the
Speaker 4: discourse is broken or whatever, while insisting the criticism of
Speaker 4: the ad campaign makes sense because of, you know, all
Speaker 4: the racism out there. Wartzel's rhetoric really shines when analyzing
Speaker 4: the political implications of hiring Swedey to sell jeans.
Speaker 1: Quote.
Speaker 4: Her image has been co opted by the right, accurately
Speaker 4: or not, in part because of where she's from, the
Speaker 4: Mountain West, and some of her hobbies fixing cars.
Speaker 1: Even her knew any of this, none of it, and
Speaker 1: don't care.
Speaker 4: Even her figure has become a cultural stand in for
Speaker 4: the idea published and pushed by conservative commentators that Americans
Speaker 4: should be free to love boobs.
Speaker 1: What I know.
Speaker 4: I know, even her figure has become a cultural stand
Speaker 4: in for the idea pushed by conservative commentators that Americans
Speaker 4: should be free to love boobs.
Speaker 3: So that's kind of interesting that to kind of go
Speaker 3: with like being curvy as a right wing thing. Because
Speaker 3: the New York Times had an op ed piece I
Speaker 3: was going to get to later why the right is
Speaker 3: obsessed with thinness when diet culture meets conservative morality. That
Speaker 3: is one of the dumbest things I've ever read.
Speaker 1: In my life.
Speaker 4: It's as if they're using some sort of AI powered
Speaker 4: random fake aggrievement headline generator.
Speaker 1: Are you people serious?
Speaker 4: I know what's it like to live your life like that,
Speaker 4: constantly looking for some excuse to bellow about somebody else
Speaker 4: being you know, unenlightened.
Speaker 1: We will get to that later.
Speaker 3: How the right is obsessed with thinness and it's somehow
Speaker 3: white supremacy or awful or something when Obestie's one of
Speaker 3: the biggest problems we've got in America. But what did
Speaker 3: you say we're doing? We got something.
Speaker 4: This campus madness update coming, oh so much madness, oh goodness.
Speaker 1: And a bunch of other stuff. Stay here, armstrong.
Speaker 6: The World Swimming Championships, the US saved it's best for last.
Speaker 6: The women's four by one hundred med League team broke
Speaker 6: its own world record in today's final race in Singapore.
Speaker 6: Reagan Smith, Kate Douglas, Gretchen Walsh and Tory Husk bested
Speaker 6: the old mark by twenty nine hundredths of a second.
Speaker 3: And getting ready for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles
Speaker 3: next summer, I think, so, sach right, Yeah, maybe I'll
Speaker 3: look at that number, dear, I'll look that that's why Americans.
Speaker 1: Don't care about global warming. If the oceans cover of
Speaker 1: the Earth, we're the best swimmers. It's fine.
Speaker 4: Speaking of the world of sports, maybe an hour four
Speaker 4: we'll get to a lawyer believes Caitlin Clark has a
Speaker 4: serious civil rights case against the WNBA if she wants
Speaker 4: to make it.
Speaker 1: I doubt she does.
Speaker 4: But that's interesting because she's getting the hell beat out
Speaker 4: of her night after night, and they hit us with
Speaker 4: some of the statistics, and it's undeniable and it's almost
Speaker 4: never called. And it's because of race, and if not race,
Speaker 4: sexuality or both.
Speaker 3: So anyway, Summer Olympics in Los Angeles are in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty eight. Oh, we got a compangners the Summer Olympics.
Speaker 3: I peaked too.
Speaker 1: Early in my training. I thought it was next year.
Speaker 1: Dang it.
Speaker 4: So speaking of swimming, Oh, we don't have much time.
Speaker 4: We're talking about this sort of person who actually tries
Speaker 4: to get offended by the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad and
Speaker 4: talks about eugenics and the rest of it and what
Speaker 4: they're like. Katie had this headline like a week ago.
Speaker 4: I was intrigued enough that I dug into it. Yes,
Speaker 4: ful World, Mermaiding gains popularity in DC area.
Speaker 1: And it's all about these.
Speaker 4: Gals mostly and a couple of guys who get together
Speaker 4: once a week or more.
Speaker 1: And they like in the don mermaid tales.
Speaker 4: Some of them like really expensive dotted with sequins, lined
Speaker 4: with seashells and waddle into the water and splash around
Speaker 4: and pretend to be mermaids.
Speaker 3: I like the headline in stressful Times mermaiding a new
Speaker 3: verb helps calm people down.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, living here is fast. Everything is fast. There's traffic.
Speaker 1: There's so many people that feel suffocating sometimes.
Speaker 3: Children. You all need to have children. You'd be busy
Speaker 3: raising your kids. You wouldn't have time for this crap.
Speaker 3: Have a job in children takes care of so many problems.
Speaker 3: You don't worry about all these extraneous bs things if
Speaker 3: you have.
Speaker 1: A job in children.
Speaker 4: Wow, says the fascist Mermaiding is luring attract is attracting
Speaker 4: murfolk who are either looking for a unique form of exercise,
Speaker 4: a deep sense of community, or something to take them
Speaker 4: out of their everyday live.
Speaker 1: Did you say murpholk. That's correct. Yes.
Speaker 4: Although there is no official census, the Mermaids of the
Speaker 4: Washington area estimate, they have the second highest population in
Speaker 4: the country beyond Florida.
Speaker 1: In fact, jack two years ago.
Speaker 4: Their community was featured heavily in the Netflix docuseries Myrrh People,
Speaker 4: which focused on several aspiring mermaids volatile journeys to earn
Speaker 4: admittance into elite pods, such as the circin Circus Siren
Speaker 4: Mermaid Pod in Laurel, Maryland, which is one of the
Speaker 4: most exclusive mermaid pods.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot here. We could do a whole
Speaker 1: podcast on this.
Speaker 4: It's just creating a safe space for people to have fun.
Speaker 4: A lot of people who need a place to feel accepted.
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah. Is there a single person doing this
Speaker 4: who is ever in their life voted Republican?
Speaker 1: Of course?
Speaker 4: Not Pretending to be a mermaid in your free time
Speaker 4: is a certain sort of person.
Speaker 1: You meet a woman.
Speaker 3: I'm from Ohio, I like wine tasting, I have two sisters.
Speaker 3: I dress as a mermaid on weekends. You what, now,
Speaker 3: what was that last part?
Speaker 4: For a few hours a week they slip on their
Speaker 4: mirsna take some shelfies with friends.
Speaker 3: So it seems like one of the main parts of
Speaker 3: dressing as a Mermaid is puns that seems to be.
Speaker 4: Might be more important than the water. It's certainly an
Speaker 4: important part of it. But these people are very normal Jack.
Speaker 4: For instance, this dance costume designer who changed your name
Speaker 4: to Targarian after the family from the Game of Thrones
Speaker 4: and has purple hair and more piercings than a pin cushion,
Speaker 4: get a job having a kid. She goes by the
Speaker 4: name Mermaid Montara. Oh my god, Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 4: It takes all kinds.
Speaker 1: I guess Mark Zuckerberg's willing to pay somebody a billion
Speaker 1: dollars if he can put him in first place with AI.
Speaker 3: That's a pretty good job. Among other things on the way.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty's mom the American Eagle website.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get me some of them Nazi jeans before
Speaker 3: they sell out. Coming up, chat, GPT lied to me
Speaker 3: for the first time ever, like really misled me. It
Speaker 3: damaged It damaged our relationship. I'm not pretty gunshy. Wow,
Speaker 3: So that coming up. And also Zuckerbird's willing to throw
Speaker 3: a billion dollar salary at somebody if they can put
Speaker 3: him in first place. Throwing around money for a half
Speaker 3: that yeah, okay, big AI update. First though, it's a
Speaker 3: campus madness update.
Speaker 1: Oh what madness? Oh that's the madness part. He's not
Speaker 1: digging it. I can't remember. Is there more of that? Okay, here.
Speaker 4: Handful of headlines for you, Jack, And we could really
Speaker 4: spend a significant amount of time on any one of these,
Speaker 4: but it definitely goes to the fact that crusaders against
Speaker 4: the rot on our college campuses and actually our primary
Speaker 4: and secondary educational systems too. We are not cherry picking.
Speaker 4: It's more like we're standing in the midst of a
Speaker 4: cherry orchard and you're accusing us of cherry picking. That's
Speaker 4: I mean, we're surrounded by cherries. Anyway, I'm going to
Speaker 4: start with this, which is a little different than the
Speaker 4: other headlines. But it was The New York Times doing
Speaker 4: a story on how the federal policy changes changed on
Speaker 4: pell grants and the Big Beautiful Bill and higher education
Speaker 4: grants and federal loan caps and the rest of it.
Speaker 4: And what was interesting to me about this, and I'm
Speaker 4: sure you'll appreciate this too, Jack, is that they mentioned
Speaker 4: that the reason this discussion is so important is that
Speaker 4: the average cost of public higher education in the the
Speaker 4: United States has adjusted for inflation more than doubled since
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty, and they don't spend a single word no less,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, certainly not a sentence or a paragraph in
Speaker 4: asking why doubles that.
Speaker 3: Right, doubled since nineteen eighty sounds low to me by
Speaker 3: a lot. The only thing they.
Speaker 4: Talk about is why government is not doing more to
Speaker 4: hand people money to pay for it because it's more
Speaker 4: than doubled.
Speaker 1: It's way more than doubled.
Speaker 4: Absolutely nuts, Yeah, yeah, this is public colleges who right anyway.
Speaker 1: But like I know a couple of specific examples of
Speaker 1: it's doubled since people I know went in the nineties.
Speaker 1: Well right, right.
Speaker 4: But the point obviously is that the New York Times
Speaker 4: doesn't even have the question, just a question of government
Speaker 4: grants to talk about a different mindset.
Speaker 1: A bunch of headlines here, this is something else.
Speaker 4: As it reloads three to one and we're back. The
Speaker 4: largest teachers union in America is pushing Holocaust education that
Speaker 4: erases Jews. The NEA now describes the Holocaust as having
Speaker 4: twelve million victims from different faiths, without mentioning the attempted
Speaker 4: extermination of the Jewish.
Speaker 3: Pele wow as mostly Jews, as we all know as
Speaker 3: a chunk of Catholics and Gypsies and other people too,
Speaker 3: but it's mostly Jews.
Speaker 4: But so they're just going with different faiths. Okay, Yes,
Speaker 4: in fact, that was the plan all along. You may
Speaker 4: have heard of Hitler. He wrote a book about it
Speaker 4: in which he expelled he spelled out exactly what he's
Speaker 4: going to do, but not to the NEA. Speaking of
Speaker 4: the NEA, they just scrubbed their twenty twenty five handbook
Speaker 4: from their website. But the internet is forever, and various
Speaker 4: school choice advocates have preserved all of it for all
Speaker 4: of us, and the ENEA this is this year's handbook
Speaker 4: says educators must acknowledge the existence of white supremacy culture
Speaker 4: as a primary root cause of institutional racism, structural racism,
Speaker 4: and white privilege. And educators must work to prohibit institutionally
Speaker 4: racist systems and to bring them down. And it's a
Speaker 4: chapter in verse of the whole DEI critical race theory stuff.
Speaker 4: But the biggest teachers union in America says that needs
Speaker 4: to be the top priority of teachers is to dismantle
Speaker 4: white supremacy in our schools and our country.
Speaker 3: Our public school system is completely broken. Yeah, Its long
Speaker 3: is how long will it take? Can it be fixed?
Speaker 3: Will just so many people have to pull out and
Speaker 3: home school or private school I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and school choice that Republicans are pushing right now.
Speaker 1: Will so many people will.
Speaker 4: Leave the government schools in favor of these schools that
Speaker 4: educate children, that the system will collapse and ensure it
Speaker 4: has to Your number.
Speaker 3: One priority should have been the entire time and should
Speaker 3: always be for all eternity teaching, math, science, and reading.
Speaker 4: The end, the NEEA will push strategies fostering the eradication
Speaker 4: of institutional racism and white privilege perpetuated by white supremacy.
Speaker 4: Culture and school districts must provide training and cultural competence,
Speaker 4: implicit bias, restorative practices and techniques, and racial justice. More
Speaker 4: on this another time, but let's click on a few
Speaker 4: more headlines. We didn't mention this and it was an oversight.
Speaker 4: We just got really busy that UCLA, who were absolutely
Speaker 4: himmering for their treatment of Jewish students, including the establishment
Speaker 4: of a jew exclusion zone. UCLA agreed last week to
Speaker 4: pay more than six million dollars to settle a lawsuit
Speaker 4: brought by Jewish students who said, the university a lot
Speaker 4: of antisemitic demonstrations. I'm sorry discrimination during the Spring twenty
Speaker 4: twenty four encampments, the anti Israel encampments, good for them,
Speaker 4: just absolutely hammered UCLA, which is deserving of everything it
Speaker 4: gets George Mason University. On the other side of the country,
Speaker 4: the president, facing an array of federal discrimination probes, is
Speaker 4: tapped the ex Maryland Attorney General as his personal attorney
Speaker 4: as an act of self preservation. This guy, Gregory Washington,
Speaker 4: is adi woke crusader and has sanctioned and demanded racial
Speaker 4: discrimination in practically everything George Mason University does. And if
Speaker 4: you're not familiar with George Mason, it is an enormous
Speaker 4: university in the Washington, DC area. It is the biggest
Speaker 4: university in the University of Virginia system, so coast to coast,
Speaker 4: all over the place, medical schools quietly maintain affirmative action.
Speaker 4: According to Jason Riley in The Wall Street Journal, some
Speaker 4: still use race to make admissions decisions, even though the Supreme.
Speaker 1: Court said it's illegal.
Speaker 3: I just heard a story yesterday of somebody who's apparently
Speaker 3: some sort of medical school star who has a whole
Speaker 3: bunch of options to go to different colleges for medical school,
Speaker 3: and interview has interviewed it's a couple where the first
Speaker 3: question was what's your pronouns? And this person does not
Speaker 3: swing that way politically, and thought, I'm not going to
Speaker 3: this school.
Speaker 1: Question number one to decide.
Speaker 3: If you want this star student to be in your
Speaker 3: medical school, what are your pronouns?
Speaker 1: How crazy is that?
Speaker 3: Prioritizing that a higher the prioritizing that at all, having
Speaker 3: it be part of it at all is crazy.
Speaker 1: But making that like the top thing.
Speaker 3: Are you are kind of people? Rather than whether or
Speaker 3: not you'd be a good doctor, right?
Speaker 4: I mean if it was like some sort of plumbers college,
Speaker 4: I would be thinking, well, that's stupid, because like there'll
Speaker 4: be leaks and bad plumbing if you make that a priority.
Speaker 1: This is like heart surgeons. Yeah, oh my god, it's obscene.
Speaker 4: Do No Harm, A watchdog group that opposes racial preferences
Speaker 4: analyze the last year's admissions data from twenty three public
Speaker 4: medical schools. It found that at twenty two of the
Speaker 4: twenty three Asian and white applicants who were accepted had
Speaker 4: higher medical college admission test scores than their black peers,
Speaker 4: and the data showed that at more than half of
Speaker 4: the schools, the average MCAT that's the big test score
Speaker 4: of Asian and white applicants who were rejected was higher
Speaker 4: than that of the mcat's score of black applicants who
Speaker 4: were accepted. And that there's a name for it, racism. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 4: The Trump administration has launched a probe of the Duke
Speaker 4: Law Journal and warns their medical school is up next,
Speaker 4: as they are promoting racial preferences and racial standards for
Speaker 4: who gets to publish, who gets to be on the staff,
Speaker 4: who gets to earn the accolades. No white people need apply,
Speaker 4: honest to God, this is Duke University, but the law
Speaker 4: and medical schools. And then finally, that's a story in
Speaker 4: the Wall Street Journal by a film by the name
Speaker 4: of Colin Wright who was excluded at Cornell University from
Speaker 4: a job for which he was eminently qualified, maybe the
Speaker 4: most qualified guy in the country. They eliminated purely because
Speaker 4: he was a white man. And behind the scenes memos
Speaker 4: which were issued or found during the discovery process for
Speaker 4: this suit said yeah, no, we're not going to hire
Speaker 4: a white guy. Absolutely overt racism. Ricka's Universities coast to coast,
Speaker 4: Minnesota to Miami. It's unbelievable. It needs to take it apart,
Speaker 4: be taken apart. It's campus madness.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what happened? Then? I love that little
Speaker 1: exclamation for he stepped on a nail or something. Oh
Speaker 1: she saw the madness around here, you fool? Okay, wake
Speaker 1: up man.
Speaker 3: If you got the AI skills, Elon Zuckerberg what's his name?
Speaker 1: At Google?
Speaker 3: Those people want you and they're willing to throw crazy
Speaker 3: money at you. Got that in the fact that Chad
Speaker 3: GBT lied to me for the first time. We're uh,
Speaker 3: we're estranged right now on the way, stay.
Speaker 1: Here, armstrong, he Getty, Morning Jennifer, morning her? He calls,
Speaker 1: no messages, no bail. How about lunch, no lunch, busy? Okay,
Speaker 1: how about later in my place? You are married her.
Speaker 1: I'm Mandy Travis, the new Programmed record. Sorry, got a meeting.
Speaker 1: We'll talk later. Did you last that long? One of
Speaker 1: the best? Would you like to see? The big guy,
Speaker 1: the big guy, the skipper, the chief, the head, han choke,
Speaker 1: the jerk who runs his place.
Speaker 3: Lonnie Anderson died yesterday and she was a big deal
Speaker 3: for ten fifteen years. As a hatty tabloid star. So
Speaker 3: there you are a toxic max masculinity on display there
Speaker 3: in a way that would not be accepted in the
Speaker 3: modern world.
Speaker 1: Oh, indeed, disgusting. Is anyone worth a billion dollars?
Speaker 3: Well, Mark Zuckerberg thinks this woman, Mira Murretti, is worth
Speaker 3: a billion dollars if she take the job, but she's
Speaker 3: not going to it looks like because she's got other
Speaker 3: offers or wants to start her own thing.
Speaker 1: She's one of your top AI experts. And right now.
Speaker 3: The leaders in AI that'd be open Ai, that's Chad
Speaker 3: gp tis Anthropic, which I'm not as familiar with. Google
Speaker 3: and Zuckerberg are all in competition for the best AI
Speaker 3: researchers in the world. And it's like being a star
Speaker 3: quarterback or a power forward or you know, a long
Speaker 3: hitting third basement. You can make that kind of money,
Speaker 3: well more than that kind of money. No, Yeah, nobody's
Speaker 3: gotten a billion dollars before. Miretti is the former top
Speaker 3: person in open AI, and she has a startup that's
Speaker 3: worth a whole bunch of money and all kinds of
Speaker 3: stuff like that. But anyway, according to The Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 3: Zuckerberg tried to hire other people from that company. They
Speaker 3: all declined to jump ship. He went after the top person,
Speaker 3: offered more than a billion dollar pay package.
Speaker 1: That's a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say others have found Zuckerberg's offers too big
Speaker 3: to pass up. A twenty four year old researcher named
Speaker 3: Matt Deepkey said yes to a salary of two one
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty million over four years. WHOA, and I
Speaker 3: assume that's guaranteed money. It's not like you know some
Speaker 3: of your sports contracts. And again, this is not the
Speaker 3: number for the acquisition of a company. It's the acquisition
Speaker 3: for a single employee. There are rumors out there, according
Speaker 3: to the Wall Street Journal, of much higher salary offers that.
Speaker 1: Have been thrown out there. Wow for these people.
Speaker 3: So you're saying a lot correctly that some of the
Speaker 3: hype here around AI is coming from companies that stand
Speaker 3: to benefit from it. True, But Zuckerberg and Elon and
Speaker 3: Google aren't throwing these kind of salaries at people just
Speaker 3: out of trying to pump up the look of AI.
Speaker 4: Oh no, that's straight out of the don't worry about
Speaker 4: what they say, watch what they do department. What they're
Speaker 4: doing is offering a gal a billion dollars to come
Speaker 4: work for them instead of her own company.
Speaker 1: That's a pretty strong statement.
Speaker 4: I was reading that the percentage of the growth in
Speaker 4: our economy that's like just AI is a little shock. Yes,
Speaker 4: it is, because there are zillions of dollars being poured
Speaker 4: into that right now. But this looks like in five years.
Speaker 4: I wish I knew. I hope to be around to
Speaker 4: find out.
Speaker 3: Like I use chat GPT all the time, as I
Speaker 3: have said now, I don't google, I chat GPT, but
Speaker 3: I didn't get lied to over the weekend, which was troubling,
Speaker 3: really troubling. As I've mentioned, I'm attempting for the twentieth
Speaker 3: time into my life to read Ulysses by James Joyce,
Speaker 3: and I'm sticking with it this time, and I'm well
Speaker 3: through chapter two, which is further than I've ever gotten
Speaker 3: in my life. But I had a question about something,
Speaker 3: and I've been going to chat GPT and it's been very,
Speaker 3: very helpful. But it gave me an answer on one
Speaker 3: of the characters, and I thought, wow, I am really lost.
Speaker 3: I thought we were reading the inner dialogue of a
Speaker 3: completely different person. How did I miss that? I went
Speaker 3: back through the to the first chapter and try to
Speaker 3: pick up where I got lost, Like, this is a
Speaker 3: major point. I can't I can't read the book and
Speaker 3: be this far off of reading an entire chapter of
Speaker 3: inner dialogue.
Speaker 1: And I got the wrong character. I was right, it
Speaker 1: was wrong. It just got it wrong, and very confidently
Speaker 1: got it wrong. Leopold Bloom. The main character was not
Speaker 1: who was being discussed at this point. It was someone else.
Speaker 3: And I thought, Okay, how often has this happened already
Speaker 3: when I didn't catch it, or how often would it
Speaker 3: happen the future where I don't catch it? That's troubling.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, man, how did it make a mistake
Speaker 3: that big?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, reminds me the whole when they write about your
Speaker 4: industry and the newspaper, you realize, wow, that's totally inaccurate.
Speaker 4: But I'm sure everything else they write about is accurate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I should have argued with it, like smart people do.
Speaker 3: Maybe I can go back and still do that, pick
Speaker 3: up in the conversation and say, hey, hey, hey, chat
Speaker 3: GPT or Fred or whatever I'm supposed to call it.
Speaker 1: You realize you got that completely wrong? Right? That character
Speaker 1: doesn't show up until chapter two, and see how it reacts.
Speaker 3: If it argues with me, it says my bad, Or
Speaker 3: do it now? What did this information cost you? Is
Speaker 3: what I would say to chat GPT. He paid nothing
Speaker 3: for this? What do you expect?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no kidding, what are you on for nothing?
Speaker 3: But you know, we've talked about the law cases where
Speaker 3: a lawyer's cruising along getting great info from chat GPT,
Speaker 3: You use a piece and then in court somebody challenges
Speaker 3: it and turns out to be completely funny.
Speaker 1: It's a problem case that never existed. Ye yeah.
Speaker 4: Indeed, another thing I was writing about AI the big
Speaker 4: consulting companies are they're getting ready for a massive earthquake
Speaker 4: under them. This article is about McKinsey, which is a
Speaker 4: legendary business consulting group. But as they point out, the
Speaker 4: elite armies, the alert firms, armies of consultant have helped
Speaker 4: generations of CEOs blah blah blah. Artificial intelligence can increasingly
Speaker 4: do the work done by the firm's highly paid consultants,
Speaker 4: often within minutes. So it can like analyze all of
Speaker 4: the business data the structure of your business, churn out
Speaker 4: a power point and a deck of suggestions, and all
Speaker 4: in seconds.
Speaker 1: So what do they do anymore?
Speaker 4: And interestingly the answer was, well, they're now rapidly deploying
Speaker 4: thousands of AI agents. Those bots now assist consultants in
Speaker 4: building PowerPoint texts.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, attacks an AI agent.
Speaker 4: And so I had to click on that link and
Speaker 4: go read about what an AI agent is exactly, And
Speaker 4: as far as they can tell, it's kind of like
Speaker 4: an app, but I need to keep reading.
Speaker 3: You would think there'd be more people that have the skills,
Speaker 3: that it wouldn't be a one human worth a billion dollars,
Speaker 3: but you know, apparently that's the case at least currently.
Speaker 1: Get into an openhe Oppenheimer or you know, Thomas Edison. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're young man, learn how to do AI or not.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
