1 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and 3 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: jecating and he. 4 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: Arms Rong'm from studio scene, Say, Senor, I'm winded. 5 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 3: The constructioning people have the elevators blocked off, so I 6 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 3: had to jog up the five flights of stairs. And 7 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 3: yesterday was leg day at the gym, so my legs 8 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 3: are still all sore in yellow jelly life. 9 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: Oh no, that's really rough.

That's a message to 18 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 4: conservative America. You need to start calling out your colleagues, 19 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 4: your friends, your neighbors who are pitching this ridiculous moral relatism, relativism. 20 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 4: It's okay to steal, it's okay to hurt, it's okay 21 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 4: to kill. If you're righteous, or you're the down trodden, 22 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 4: or you're the right color or what have you. We 23 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 4: need to start calling that out loudly. 24 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: And you don't think, and you don't think people are 25 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: I think we are once again. It's the end of 26 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: the beginning. 27 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 4: I think people are realizing, Oh, it sounded like a 28 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 4: compelling moral argument that people are down trodden, really need 29 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 4: to be able to steal or hurt or kill or 30 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 4: rape or whatever because they're downtrodden, be they in Brooklyn 31 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 4: or Gaza. But people are realizing, oh wait, that leads 32 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 4: to a complete immoral free for all where anything goes 33 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 4: if you're the chosen few, and then we'll see society 34 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 4: crumble in front of us, from us stealing from the 35 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 4: whole foods and calling it micro looting to trying to 36 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 4: assassinate the president over and over again. 37 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 3: The thread is unbroken. It's the same rationale. Yeah, so 38 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: that's a good morning to talk more about that later. 39 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 3: Look forward to that conversation. There is a seems to 40 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 3: be quite a disparity out there between the New York 41 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: Times version, Wall Street version, New York Post version, and 42 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 3: maybe the White House's version of how long Iran can 43 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 3: hold out with this blockade, with the different guesses being 44 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: between like two days and several months, depending on which 45 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: expert you ask. 46 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 4: Right, right, which says something about Iran and oil and experts. 47 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. 48 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 3: So you never know if the experts giving their expert 49 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: opinion or it's the expert opinion of someone who wants 50 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 3: to show how much they hate Trump in the war. 51 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: So right, how much they love Trump in the war 52 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: can get at hard. 53 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 4: Right, I'm writing on an article about the big Supreme 54 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 4: Court case. I'm going to go to an expert. Do 55 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 4: I go to Tim Sandifer, right? Or do I go 56 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 4: with some freaking Marxist professor at my local community college 57 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 4: or local law school. 58 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: Please. 59 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 4: These journalists know exactly what they're going to get from 60 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 4: these so called experts. 61 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: That's why they go to them. 62 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 3: But there's a bunch of stuff in all those different 63 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: publications about how I'd heard people say this, but I'd 64 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 3: never heard. 65 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: It explained completely. Maybe we can do it later. The uh, 66 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: the problem with shutting down your. 67 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 3: Oil wells, it's brilliant shutting down your oil fields. You 68 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 3: can't shut down your oil fields and then start them 69 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: back up again. They start to cave in on themselves, 70 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 3: and all kinds of different problems happen, and they may 71 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: be ruined for for a very long time. It would 72 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 3: take many billions of dollars to get your oil operation 73 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 3: back up and going, and they're going to have to 74 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: shut it off in two days or two months, depending 75 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 3: on who you ask, because they're running out of places 76 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 3: to put the oil. They have several of the largest 77 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: tankers in the world they're sitting in the water and 78 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 3: those are almost full. And then once those are full, 79 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 3: there ain't no place for the oil to go. Then 80 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 3: the pipes fill up, and then pretty soon you got 81 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: to shut stuff down. And then the thing I just 82 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: described there that it causes billions and billions of dollars 83 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 3: of damage, so they don't want to do that. 84 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: And then I've got some stats to go through. I 85 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: think it was the New York Times. 86 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 3: It had under the unemployment rate, the current inflation situation, 87 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 3: which job sectors have been hit the hardest, millions of 88 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: people out of work. 89 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 4: It's really something talking domestically or around the world, in 90 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 4: Iran particular, just in Iran. 91 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: Oh oh okay, yeah, millions of people out of work, 92 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 3: sky high inflation, various sectors that have just shut down, 93 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 3: lots of industries that were bombed out of existence, mostly 94 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 3: by Israel because we weren't hitting civilian targets the way 95 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 3: Israel was, and uh, civilian targets use my finger quotes, 96 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: because they're sure businesses. It can be a dual use, 97 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: as most businesses can be, and every road and bridge 98 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 3: and airfield and the rest of it. 99 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: But they're definitely in trouble. Which is interesting. 100 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 5: Then. 101 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: So I'm listening to. 102 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 3: Some of your left wing media are talking about Iran 103 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 3: is clearly going to come out of this stronger than 104 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 3: they were going in, and I just don't I'd really 105 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 3: like to hear him explain how that's possible. 106 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: That's just not true. Oh my god. 107 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 4: Some of the I find myself stuck on Thomas Friedman, 108 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 4: who said it out loud. He said, I just can't 109 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 4: root for the win of American Israel because Trump and 110 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 4: net Yahoo are such terrible people. I just I can't 111 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: root for that win. He represents many, many people in 112 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 4: most of our media. 113 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 3: Well, part of it is the idea that the Iran 114 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: is going to control in one way or another, the 115 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 3: Strait of horn Moose forever do you think that that's 116 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: what's going to occur. 117 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: No, absolutely not. I don't think so either. I don't 118 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: think we in the world are going to allow that 119 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: to happen, or. 120 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 4: Or because the free market is a miracle of innovation, 121 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 4: if they do, we will render that question moot. 122 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: There will be new trade routes and pipelines, and. 123 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 4: Technology is employed, and the strait of horn Moves will 124 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 4: be a little backwater nobody wants to use anymore. I 125 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 4: realize you know that's overstating how easy the transition will be. 126 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 4: But no, no, they're not going to have some sort 127 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 4: of permanent chokehold on the world economy. The world would 128 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 4: never let that happen, and we sure wouldn't either. No, No, 129 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 4: this is there's a lot of story still to be told. 130 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: Here. 131 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 3: We're breaking news, probably taking one of Katie's headlines.

They think, well, political 236 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 4: movements don't get started and subvert a system. In our case, 237 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 4: because we're the United States of America, they don't erode 238 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 4: our institutions to the point that they break, and then 239 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 4: the next stage is horrible.

Yeah, it's funny 363 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 3: that that's true, but it absolutely is. Speaking of AI 364 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 3: and Groc, which is Elon's outfit, he started Grok after 365 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 3: he left open Ai, And here's a little el explaining 366 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 3: why he started AI. This is all going to be 367 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 3: part of the court case that starts today, the lawsuit 368 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 3: between Elon Musk and Sam Altman, who started open Ai together. 369 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 3: Elon was really the driving force behind it, as he 370 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 3: explains here. 371 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I was going back to Opening Air for 372 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 5: a second. 373 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 7: The reason I found it open a eye was because 374 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 7: I was concerned, based on my conversations with Larry Page, 375 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 7: he used to be a close friend of mine, that 376 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 7: he was not sufficient to be concerned about the dangers 377 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 7: of AI. This really came so ahead when at my 378 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 7: birthday party he in front of a large group of people, 379 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 7: called me a species. 380 00:19:50,960 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 5: For favoring humanity over computers. I can think, probably, Larry, 381 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 5: what side are you on? 382 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: It sounds like. 383 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 5: You're on excited the computers, but you really need to 384 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 5: be on team humanity here, you know. 385 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 7: So after that, I was like, okay, this is that 386 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 7: we've got to have some counterbalance to Google, because Larry 387 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 7: doesn't seem to cure a humans make it or not. 388 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,959 Speaker 3: And so he poured a whole bunch of money into 389 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 3: open AI and then, as you may or may not know, 390 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 3: you know, when got into a disagreement whether or not 391 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 3: to turn it into a profit business and that sort 392 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 3: of stuff. And that's a lot of what the lawsuits 393 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 3: about today. And I've recounted that story before because I 394 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 3: read it in a book about Elon's birthday party, in 395 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 3: which he had that conversation with Larry Page of Google. 396 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: I am still stunned by it. 397 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 3: The first of all, the fact that anybody could have 398 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 3: that point of view, that well, no, it's unfair to 399 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 3: prioritize human beings over computers, artificial intelligence, whatever, is so nuts. 400 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: They're a life foreman themselves. It's so nuts. 401 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 3: I can't even wrap my head around it. But the 402 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 3: fact that there are only a handful of people currently 403 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 3: on planet Earth making these decisions and some of them 404 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 3: have that point of view is beyond anyone's imagination. 405 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I could tell by the uneasy laughter of the audience. 406 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 4: They're like, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard. But 407 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 4: it reminds me in a way of our discussion during 408 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 4: the last segment about how these radical leftist organizations are 409 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 4: taking over institutions and trying to subvert others and having 410 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 4: huge influence in the US, and people laugh at the 411 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 4: idea that they could actually be successful or. 412 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: Do any real damage. 413 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 4: Some of the superheroes of tech have these beliefs, and 414 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 4: as you said, their influence is to say it's outsized 415 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 4: is to undersize it, right. 416 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: Anyway, I thought that was interesting. 417 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 3: I think we're gonna I think there's gonna be a 418 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 3: lot of valuable info come out of that trial. 419 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say, speaking of aiither a handful of 420 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 4: really interesting developments. First of all, Megan mccartial, who is 421 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 4: a writer for the Washington Post but she's also a 422 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 4: novelist and just writes all sorts of stuff, didn't experiment recently. 423 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 4: She's a libertarian. Yeah, yeah, very reasonable gal, smart and 424 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 4: politically speaking. I don't hate her beliefs. But she was 425 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 4: running an experiment to see how few words AI systems 426 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 4: could look at and correctly identify who the author is. 427 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: Wow. The idea being. 428 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 4: I think the title of the pieces will aid anonymity. 429 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: I tested it, okay. 430 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 4: Because if it can plow through you know, everything you've 431 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,239 Speaker 4: ever typed into well onto the internet, or certainly if 432 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 4: you've ever published anything. It's a little different, I think 433 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 4: from for everyday geeks like ourselves and quote unquote professional writers. 434 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: But if it can plow through every single thing you've. 435 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 4: Written and come up with characteristic phrase or punctuation or 436 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 4: whatever that you do, it can quickly say, oh, that's 437 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 4: Joe Getty, I know who posted that screed about the SPLC. 438 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 4: For instance, that's got to be Joe Eddy and it's 439 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 4: it's interesting. So you got your anonymous Twitter account right 440 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 4: where you chuck some bombs, you have a little fun there. 441 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 4: You got your you know whatever, your burner accounts where 442 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 4: you say the stuff you really want to say out loud. 443 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 4: It'll figure out who you are before long. 444 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 3: Well, at the founding of our country, anonymous pieces and 445 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 3: newspapers and pamphlets were very very important, the Federal's papers 446 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 3: and all kinds of different stuff. 447 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: People publishing under fake names because you might be. 448 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 3: Hung by someone if they figured out who you were. 449 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: And yeah, that's interesting. 450 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 4: So just to show you how it worked, because I 451 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 4: found this very interesting, and perhaps you will too, She says, 452 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 4: like many journal less, I have a bunch of unpublished 453 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 4: fiction lying about. So I tried claude on the first 454 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 4: chapter of a romance novel that I started almost twenty 455 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 4: years ago during the hysterical, mawkish phase of a particularly 456 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 4: bad breakup. Uh Megan mccartal said Opus four point seven. 457 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 4: After a few seconds, the thought fascinated. I kept feeding 458 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 4: it smaller and smaller passages to see how little pros 459 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 4: it needed for identification. The answer, apparently was just over 460 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 4: one thousand words, and so she gives it a fairly 461 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 4: short snippet from the novel, and it's and Claude replies. 462 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 4: The passage is a historical novel set in what appears 463 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 4: to be early America, New York, with references to ships, captains, 464 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 4: counting houses, the hudson of French widow, French named characters 465 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 4: like Jean Luke and Dobert, Dutch surnames like van Wagenen, 466 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 4: suggesting probably early to mid nineteenth century New York.

If her 471 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 4: temperament had been better, her appearance might have been overlooked. 472 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 4: One guest that comes to mind, given the Catholic sensibility, 473 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 4: the confident pastige voice, the sharp social observation, the recent 474 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 4: feeling pros Megan mccartial.
