1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong and Jetty 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: and no He Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 2: Share mistakenly announced that the late Luther Vandrose had won 5 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 2: Record of the Year. Even more embarrassing, later that night, 6 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: she had sex with a guy who told her he 7 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 2: was Sonny Bono. 8 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 3: What so we never talked about the Share on the 9 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 3: Grammys the other night, and it doesn't require a lot 10 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 3: of conversation, but she received some sort of lifetime Achievement Grammy. 11 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 3: She'd never won a Grammy in her career. It was 12 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 3: the sixty eighth Grammys. She was nominated for a Grammy 13 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 3: at the eighth Grammys sixty years ago. 14 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 1: Wow, how about that? 15 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: She might be like my first notice of being heterosexual. 16 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 3: I mean, that's I'm an old person, but she's so 17 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: old that she was a hot twenty three year old 18 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 3: on television when I was a kid. 19 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: Right? Uh? Yes, enough of Share? Who was that for? 20 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: I think it's this weird compensation thing that entertainment industry 21 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: people do, where you've got to be young and sexy. 22 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: Once you're not young and young and sexy, nobody cares 23 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: about you, But when you're really old and kind of harmless, 24 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: they show great affection towards you. And I'll tell you 25 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: how much respect they have for you and everything like that. Well, 26 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: I think it's like you said the other day, and 27 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: this is stupid. 28 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: They try to have something for everybody, so they think 29 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 3: this three hour broadcast will throw out somebody that the 30 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 3: old audience will recognize and they'll watch this show, won't. 31 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: You're not gonna watch a three hour show about music 32 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 3: you've never heard of to see Share for two minutes. 33 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: In a two minute tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, all you 34 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: do is annoy The young people in the crowd are like, 35 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: who the hell is this? Why she told you to 36 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: ROBERTA Flak? Who's grandma is up here? Yeah? Exactly. 37 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 3: Anyway, Well, I mentioned I was at the bookstore the 38 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: other day and the Share autobiography is an autobiography or biography, 39 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: I don't know which. The Share book about her life 40 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 3: was there on the table where they put all the 41 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: hot books, and it said volume one. There's two volumes 42 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: to the Share story. Wow, you couldn't get it all 43 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: fit into one volume. Oh that's a shame. Woh, good 44 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: for you. And man, people don't read. If you're gonna read, 45 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: why what the hell would you read that? Oh? 46 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: I can't even imagine. It's sad. It makes me sad. 47 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: So we can't have any illegal immigrants shaking their asses 48 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: for tips. That story coming up in a moment. Another 49 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: note about AI, and this is stands for artificial intelligence. 50 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: It does, yes, And it's funny as I as I 51 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: look at the outline of this story that I've prepared, 52 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: we can't deal with current technology without it making us 53 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: insane as a species, right Epstein files Right, Yeah, for instance, 54 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: And this is all about how AI, swarms of bots 55 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: of social media accounts create the illusion of widespread agreement 56 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: by coordinating thousands of what appear to be human accounts 57 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: and human statements and comments and that sort of thing. 58 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: And then because human beings rely on social cues to 59 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: form opinions. And I'm not an expert in this by 60 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: any means, but I'm really intrigued by the question. There 61 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: are some people who are much more consensus oriented than others. 62 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: Some are more iconoclastic. You know, you're to Thomas Jefferson's 63 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: and your Mark Twain's that absolutely do not go along 64 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: with the herd, but some people are really made to 65 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: do that for whatever reason. But how that synthetic consensus 66 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: is really affecting people who tend toward consensus thinking, and 67 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: it's made it really easy to string along huge groups 68 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: of people just because they see an opinion expressed so 69 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: much by these bots, they start to think everybody thinks that, 70 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: therefore I should think it or never breaking out of 71 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: this were doomed. In other words, I saw a poll 72 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: about AI. 73 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 3: The question was, so far, has artificial intelligence mostly helped you, 74 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: mostly harmed you, mostly harmed you? Or no difference. I 75 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 3: would be an absolute mostly helped. 76 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: Where would you be same? Yeah? 77 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's only twenty six percent of people who 78 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: say mostly helped with A. I think it's just because 79 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 3: it's got to be a lot of people who haven't, 80 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: like interacted with it, like my parents. I don't think 81 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 3: they have the app or have ever used it twenty percent, 82 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 3: but no difference is the majority at fifty three percent, 83 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 3: So most people haven't interacted with AI at all, or they. 84 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: Don't know that they have. Yeah, I'm not surprised. I 85 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 1: mean we're not very far into I tell you. 86 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: Download the apps. They're free freaking amazing. It's sure better 87 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: than Googling. I assume you all google things on a 88 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 3: regular basis, or Wikipedia. 89 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: It's so much better than Google or Wikipedia. Yeah. Yeah, 90 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: So anyway back to this, just because I think those 91 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: of us who are saying need to understand what we're 92 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: dealing with, and they point out that unlike the clunky 93 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: Russian troll farms that tried to meddle in the twenty 94 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: sixteen election, we all remember that story, these AI systems 95 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: work around the clock. They learn from every interaction and 96 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: convincingly mimic real human conversation, and it's increasing quickly. You 97 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: got Taiwan, in Indonesia, the US all dealt with II 98 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: generated deep fakes and fake news outlets during the twenty 99 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: twenty four campaign. According to a paper published in Science 100 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: by a couple of day researchers from some of the 101 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: top universities, a single bad actor can now deploy thousands 102 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: of AI personas that don't just spam the same message. 103 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: They adopt their tone, They learn what resonates with different communities, 104 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: and they create the illusion that independent people across the 105 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: Internet all happen to share the same view so you 106 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: can see somebody posts something super provocative then respond to 107 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: a comment with a you know, a shading of the 108 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: idea or a saying, hey, I see your point of view, 109 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: but here's why blah blah blah. And it's all these 110 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: AI bots twenty four to seven. They never stop. Sure, Yeah, craziness. Craziness. 111 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: Another point about AI, you're talking about how much better 112 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: it is than Google. Companies are learning to what's the 113 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I had it handy. The search engine optimization 114 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: SEO that companies figured out how to show up at 115 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: the top of the listings. Well, now you just pay 116 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: Google and they put you up there. But anyway, there 117 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: are ways to optimize how often you come up. Well, 118 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: now there is what's being called AEO is in answer 119 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: engine optimization of people, and companies are figuring out how 120 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: to game the AI system. 121 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it uh is gonna matter Because 122 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: I was listening to this podcast here that day. I've 123 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 3: mentioned several times with these AI experts and they explain, 124 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: and I'll bet it's true. 125 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: We're in this. 126 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 3: Really like golden era of getting to use these chatbots 127 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 3: where they're not monetizing them. But that's gonna end any 128 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: day and somebody's good. They're all like, look at each other, 129 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 3: are you going to? I need to? 130 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: Do? You need to? I need to? But who's going 131 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,119 Speaker 1: to be first? 132 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 3: Who's going to be the first to do like Google 133 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 3: did and start placing ads or ranking sponsors first or 134 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 3: all that different sort of stuff. And it's inevitable because 135 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 3: they got to pay for this stuff. I mean, it's 136 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 3: got to make money at some point, and it's inevitable. 137 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 3: And then once somebody does it, they'll just be a 138 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: flood of them, So it will be more like what 139 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 3: Google does very soon, like next week. I mean, at 140 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 3: some point they're all going to jump on the you know, 141 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 3: we got a list the first ten paid for results 142 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 3: before we get to your stuff. 143 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm a big enough fan of two of them in particular, 144 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: I would pay for them, but I can afford to, so, 145 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: you know, if the mass market would adopt that or not, 146 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: I couldn't. Which two do you like best? Uh Chat, 147 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: GPT in Claude. I find myself using those most. You know, 148 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: it's I use Google Gemini for silly stuff that I 149 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: don't care if there's a record of, and I know 150 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: I'll never look for again. I use Claude and chat 151 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: GPT for stuff that I'm going to consult back to. 152 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: I try to keep those clean. It's probably silly because 153 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: I know you can edit your conversations, but that's one 154 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: more thing to learn how to do. Who wants to 155 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: do that? I am? I mean, I do need at 156 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: some point to pay off the You've got to be 157 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: carefully vetted before you shake your boob. He's in front 158 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: of paying customers at strip clubs. Story.

I don't follow her, but it bubbled up 188 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 3: on my Twitter. She's a singer, kind of a funny, 189 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: outrageous singer. But she said on the topic of voter ID, 190 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 3: she said, what sensible, forward thinking, cutting edge, leading nation 191 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 3: is having a debate in all caps on whether or 192 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 3: not there should be voter ID, Like they're actually fighting 193 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 3: not to have people present ID when voting for leaders. 194 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I know. 195 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: If you present it to somebody who's just like without 196 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 3: the politics, it's like. 197 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: What would you not? 198 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 3: But then if you've been following this issue over the 199 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 3: many years, it becomes a thing about, you know, some 200 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: people are poor and can't get driver's licenses in their 201 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 3: blah blah blah. 202 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: Minorities are less likely to have a photo ID. Here's 203 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: the latest polling on this from Pew by race. 204 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 3: Eighty five percent of white people think you should show 205 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 3: an ID to vote, eighty two percent of Hispanics and 206 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 3: seventy six percent of black people. Wow, so the lowest 207 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 3: group blacks, it's three quarters. Yeah, and yet we don't 208 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 3: have it. That might say everything you need to know 209 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 3: about the sway that certain crowds, an active, animated crowd 210 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 3: can have over things. 211 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: I happen to look this up, and we don't have 212 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: it on a national level because the states are in 213 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: charge of running elections. But thirty six states require voters 214 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: to present identification to vote at the polls. How about 215 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: is it not fifty? I know thirty six because of 216 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: what you said, How was. 217 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 3: It not every single tiny little you meet at the 218 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 3: local library in your County voting place. 219 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: Make you show your damn id. That's nuts, you know, 220 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: like child's sex change mutilation, and you know DEI programs, 221 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: which are just racism and Marxism. It's just another example 222 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: of the tiny vocal minority bullying everybody into complying because 223 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: they wave the flag of if you don't agree with me, 224 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: you're a racist, and so many people back down and say, oh, 225 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: I don't want you to call me a racist. So yeah, 226 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. Thirty six states. There are some exceptions, but 227 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: when you get into the weeds of the regulations, it's 228 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: way too long for our purposes. 229 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 3: But entertainment breaking news, Paul Simon just announced a new 230 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 3: summer tour. 231 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: I thought he retired. He did. 232 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 3: I listened to that whole I was fraud. I'm suing 233 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 3: for fraud. I listened to that entire audio book that 234 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 3: he did about his retirement and I was really really good. 235 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 3: But apparently he's unretired at the age of one hundred 236 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 3: and six. 237 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: Wow, that's surprising to me. Huh, Garfall sitting by the 238 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: phone sobbing. Yeah, oh poor art. So speaking of entertainment, 239 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: at least two Oklahoma lawmakers of file legislation that would 240 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: require strippers to be licensed by the state before they 241 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: can perform for everyone's safety. Yeah, okay, what is there? 242 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: Both bills also seek to increase the minimum age to 243 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: perform in strip clubs from eighteen to twenty one. This 244 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: is the Entertainer Safety and Verification Act. Not a joke. 245 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 3: What's their thin reasoning on? We're against almost all of 246 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 3: this sort of stuff. If you lean libertarian, almost all 247 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 3: of it is crap in any industry. 248 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: Well, if you outlaw booty shaking, only outlaws will shake 249 00:13:59,240 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: their booties. 250 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 3: And if you do need any sort of this thing, 251 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 3: a private company can do it. 252 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: You don't need the government to be involved. Let me 253 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: hit a couple more requirements then I'll get to their reasoning. 254 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: Those seeking a stripping license must be a US citizen 255 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: or legal resident. There you go everify for houci shakers 256 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: and have not committed certain felonies according to both measures. Well, 257 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: you can't have felons up there wagon their parts at you. 258 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: I mean what would that say? What about the kids? 259 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, you'd be getting all turned on 260 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 3: and and bothered in so many point. 261 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: You know, she hasn't filed taxes four years in a row. 262 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: Oh what, well, that's not sexy. I feel like I've 263 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: been cheated here as well as my government applicants. Applicants 264 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: must also provide proof of identity, unlike voters in twenty 265 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: four states or whatever it is, I'm sorry, fourteen stays 266 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: including a government issued identification document with a picture. They say, 267 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: these two Republicans in Oklahoma. The measures are needed to 268 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: reduce human trafficking. Okay, whether you agree with these places 269 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: or not, we should all agree. People participating should be 270 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: doing it of their own free will and not being 271 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: trafficked from another state or country. Once a person begins 272 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: working working as a stripper, it's hard to break free. 273 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 3: But why did they specifically go with only stripping when 274 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 3: there's all kinds of people working all kinds. 275 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: Of jobs as illegals and whatnot that you should stop. Yeah, 276 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: if I'm chopping up chickens in a plant. 277 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 3: So I was listening to the Dispatch podcast yesterday and 278 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 3: Kevin Williamson, who's the writer for the Dispatch, I really 279 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 3: like his angle on this, and I think it's true 280 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 3: you really care about illegal immigration and getting the people 281 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 3: out go after the companies that hire him. His number was, 282 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 3: and O don't know where he came up with it. 283 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 3: He thinks like seventy five percent of illegal immigration or 284 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 3: the people here would have to leave or figure out 285 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 3: a process to get workers permits because they are working 286 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: for somebody. And if you went after the people that 287 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 3: are hiring them, you wouldn't have ice agents and masks 288 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 3: and shootings and all these different sorts of things. You 289 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 3: just make it too damn expensive for somebody who's got 290 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 3: a chain of hotels to hire illegals because the fines 291 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: do I. 292 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: But the powers that be on both sides of the 293 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: aisle have no interest in that. Well, that's why you 294 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: get over and over gambling and casablanca. I guess that's 295 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: his point. 296 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 3: So you got all this mayhem on the streets of 297 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 3: Minneapolis when you could solve it by going after the 298 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 3: higher errors. 299 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: If you wanted to.

Uh, the one 488 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 3: who dreamed up the showman in the first place, the 489 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 3: one who's doing the work. 490 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. Oh, so he's both. 491 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: He's the suave khan Man looking guy, but he's also 492 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: the hard working soul of the outfit. He's the woman too. 493 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: It's so he's everything to all people. It's amazing. Impregnate me, please, 494 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: she says, crying bitter tears of love and longing. 495 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 3: As you often say, it's amazing Republicans win any elections. 496 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 3: I mean, when you running as a Democrat can get 497 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 3: that kind of a puff piece, you know, with the 498 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 3: best photographer in the world and everything like that written 499 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 3: about you, it's just amazing. I was thinking about that 500 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 3: one watching the Sunday talk shows, which are increasingly irrelevant, 501 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 3: and I don't know how much relevance they have at 502 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 3: all anymore. But I was watching George Stephanopolis do his 503 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 3: thing and one of the others doing the thing on 504 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 3: the show, and it's so transparently that when Republicans come 505 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 3: on there, they challenge them on every point, and they've 506 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 3: done the research and they grill them on all these 507 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 3: different what about this? What about that when Democrats come on, 508 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 3: they just allow them to explain their position, Explain why 509 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 3: what Ice is doing in Minneapolis is bad. You'll say 510 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 3: to Hakeem Jeffreys, and then he gets to lay out 511 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 3: his thing, and then you say thanks for coming on. 512 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 3: If a Republican come on and says comes on and 513 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 3: says no, it's good and has value, you challenge them 514 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 3: on every point, right, And it's so transparent. Do they 515 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 3: not know they're doing it themselves or they just don't care? 516 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking about that. In another context. It's 517 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: probably had something to do with a Billie Eilish foolishness 518 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: or whatever they or what was it. It was a 519 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: different thing. They don't see it as bias because they 520 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: think it's self evident to everybody with a soul, what 521 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: the right is and the wrong is right? Yeah? Why 522 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: would I challenge this guy? He's right? Yeah, and everybody 523 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: knows it. I mean, nobody disagrees with this. Yeah. It's 524 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: a willful blindness, I guess, and an emotionality about it. 525 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. And Gavin has a history of straying. 526 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: We're all human, we all fall short. 527 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 3: Sometimes in the presence of attractive women. He's admitted it himself. 528 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 3: If he and that woman didn't have sex, I'll be shocked. 529 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 3: I mean, if she didn't follow him around in his office, 530 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 3: to his home, in all these different places, writing like 531 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 3: that and getting to know him, and they didn't up. 532 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: I'll be pretty surprised. Wow, cause that sure sounds like 533 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: a woman that that's where it's going. Is that what 534 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: you call it? This is a salacious suggestion, mister Armstrong, 535 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: I rejected. I disavow it. 536 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 3: She doesn't sound hot for him at all, talking about 537 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 3: his molecular makeup. And he's a combination of Kennedy esque 538 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 3: and suave and artistic and just I mean, wow, which. 539 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: Is just interesting. 540 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 3: If a woman ever went that far with me, I think, 541 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 3: I think maybe you're a little delusional. 542 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: I better watch it. You're a little too much, Yeah, 543 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: you wanted a little too much. Yeah, or you're thinking 544 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: where and when. That's the only thing. Only question left, really. 545 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 3: Was that I got to come up with that one 546 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 3: thing because I gotta remember that for the future. The 547 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 3: molecular reality, his actual molecular reality immaculate. 548 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: Okay, he's immaculate down to the molecular level. Apparently, let's 549 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: get this out of the way. He's amazingly handsome. Oh god, 550 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: all right, we will finish strong. 551 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 4: Next investigator, say Nancy Guthrie. The eighty four year old 552 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 4: mother of Today's host Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her Tucson home, 553 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 4: leaving her cell phone behind the sheriff's office, telling ABC 554 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 4: News they now believe she may have been kidnapped while 555 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 4: she slept. 556 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 3: This is a wild story, and obviously you wouldn't know 557 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 3: anything about it if it weren't for Savannah Guthrie being 558 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 3: a big celebrity host of The Today Show and lots 559 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 3: of different stuff on NBC News for many years. But man, 560 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 3: her mom just disappeared in the middle of the night. 561 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: I suspect it wouldn't have happened if she wasn't the 562 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: most famous person. Really, she's a nice old gal. Well, like, 563 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: she's eighty four, is it. She lives in just like 564 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: a suburb of Tucson, in a nice suburban development, but 565 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people live in. 566 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 3: But why do you think somebody grabbed her because her 567 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 3: daughter's famous? You think it's them like her news. 568 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: Or something, or there's a ransom demand coming or something. 569 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: I don't better get it. I know it's so because 570 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: she has heart medication she really really needs. But why 571 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: would you snatch an eighty four year old woman of 572 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: no particular anything as she sleeps out of a suburban home. 573 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's past the you know, if it was younger, 574 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 3: you'd be thinking sex something. But so, I don't know. 575 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 3: That's a weird story. 576 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: Oh that's horrible. Oh, absolutely can't imagine the anguish of 577 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: the family.
