WEBVTT - Take a Zester To That Lemon 0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:07.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:12.239 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong. 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:18.239 And Getty, and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:27.600 President Zelensky Ukraine, including taunts and his request to meet 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.360 with Vladimir Putin, hoping that I guess that that would 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.040 get under his skin and make him want to meet 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.240 face to face. But he wants a face to face meeting. 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.120 That got more on the whole Ukraine Russia war a 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:41.000 little bit later this hour, plus Hitler loving Maine lobsterman. 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.200 I guess he's not a lobsterman. He's an oysterman. 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.720 Allegedly he's a trust fund brat, rude to women, et cetera. 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:48.400 Graham Platner is now done. 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.960 This is an official announcement, an official announcement. 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:54.240 I'm very drunk. 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:04.280 But anyway, he's been ahead solidly of Susan Collins, the 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:09.919 very moderate Republican woman who's the Senator, and so Democrats. 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.080 I mean, if he was Hitler's. 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.880 Grandson and had vowed in his diaries to carry out 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.200 the old man's work, they'd stick with him if he 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.280 was going to win. But there's a new pull out 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.759 that shows Collins has pulled into a tie with him, 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.520 and so if that tide truly is turned, they will 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:26.640 abandon him. 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.760 Like you know last week's left over. 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.800 Well that argument Democrats have been making, some Democrats about it. 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:34.640 We've got to stop the tide of maga craziness and 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.240 everything like that by eliminating Susan Collins, one of only 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.440 seven senators in US history to a vote to remove 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:46.880 a president of their own party, right right, a moderate woman. Yes, Yes, 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.440 that's how dedicated they are to women's rights. Anyway, they'd 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.600 rather have a guy who's tough on women or mean 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.000 to women or whatever. Anyway, enough of that, I wanted 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.720 to move to this story is Mike Tobin. You remember 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.480 the frankis in the church in Minneapolis that's starting to 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.680 during the craziness the immigration. 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:03.440 Rights with Don Lemon. 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.040 Don Lemon did feature the bitter bitter taste of Don 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.600 Lemon is lingering around this story. 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:11.119 We'll get to that in a moment. This week. 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.320 We'll take a zest to the Don Lemon angle. I'll 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.840 actually like to do that to Don Lemon. But here's 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:17.360 Mike Tobin. 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.080 The city of Saint Paul, Minnesota will not charge the 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.600 anti ICE protesters who stormed the church last January. That 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.519 happened of the peak of Operation Metro Surge, the enhanced 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.560 immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.120 The demonstrators learned that. 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.320 A pastor with the city's church was affiliated with ICE. 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:41.239 All these pretend Christians, all these comfortable white people who 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:45.200 are living lavish, comfortable lives while children are dragged in 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:46.600 a concentration camp. 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.160 The protests halting Sunday services. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:55.040 The safety and the peace and the joy that we 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.079 were feeling. 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.240 In the church in our worship of Jesus Christ. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.919 Going out and seeing people who are like spewing hatred 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:06.800 towards us, it made me feel sad for them. 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:07.520 God. 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.519 Now, the fact that you can use comfortable white people 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.080 as a pejorative, as it so often is, is disgusting. 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:20.640 Well, it's the voice of revolutionaries. Yeah. So I could 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:21.240 make a. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.959 Legal argument that the charges that ought to be brought 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:29.200 are federal civil rights charges, but the city not bringing 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:34.080 any charges. Listen to the reasoning in this next chunk 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:34.920 of the report. 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.280 But the city attorney says protesters didn't break any property 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.880 and there's not enough evidence for a conviction. Irene cow writes, 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.760 the right to peacefully protest is protected, as is the 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:49.200 right to one's religious beliefs. Reverend Jonathan Parnell responding, According 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.640 to the city attorney's logic, it is perfectly fine for 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.800 agitators to invade a mosque, a cathedral, or a temple, 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.640 shout in people's faces, terrorize their children, and shut down 0:03:58.680 --> 0:03:59.800 their religious gathering. 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:01.640 Just call it a protest. 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.880 And Parnell question, Minnesota leadership, do. 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.240 You only care about those you agree with? 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.320 Yeah, Reverend Parnell, First of all, two excellent points there. 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.800 The idea that we can, with impunity, get a mob 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.160 together and interrupt the church service of whatever faith and 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.719 frighten the people into leaving and make it impossible to 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.000 conduct that service, and civic leaders just look on and say, well, 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:28.520 they didn't break anything. 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.840 That's disgusting, and obviously you open the door to that. 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.360 You could. You can always come up with something to protest. 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.920 I don't like the new raising the price of stamps, 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:41.440 so we're gonna bust into the mosque and interrupt their praying. 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:47.000 Right right, Don Lemon still does face federal charges for 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.360 interfering with these douche to exercise their free right. Well, 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.080 in short, yeah, as it's colloquially known. 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:53.880 So that's not the last one. 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.960 Douche iss so the highest level, oh my god, yeah, yeah, 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.480 whatever the highest level is, he's guilty of it. A 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.200 completely different topic, although there's a common thread that runs 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.440 through it. We haven't really talked about the case of 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:11.640 Henry Noak in Britain. It's getting a lot of attention 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.320 in the blogisphere and online and that sort of Thing's 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:15.960 huge on it. 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:17.880 Yeah, Elon Musk is huge on it. 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.640 He tweeted the other day that The New York Times 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.039 has had zero stories on Henry Noak, while they've had 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.400 sixty four hundred on George Floyd. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.560 Whoa sixty four hundred different George Floyd stories. 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:36.000 Correct, just and both stories are about a death in 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:40.359 police custody. And indeed, there is no evidence, there has 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:44.560 never been any evidence that George Floyd's death, unfortunate as 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.719 it was and mostly I believe caused by his drug abuse, 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.520 had anything to do with race whatsoever. There's never been 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:56.560 any evidence of that. Henry Noak, white young man eighteen 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.479 years old, attacked and stabbed by a couple of seek 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.040 youngsters or young adults. Actually they're all over twenty one 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.240 two of them in Britain, and one of the guys 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.279 took out a ceremonial knife and stabbed him right through 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:16.280 the chest. The cops get there. The bodycam footage is 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.920 very hard to watch. Henry is saying I've been stabbed, 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.080 and the cops says, I don't think you have mate, 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:23.840 and Henry says. 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:27.200 I can't breathe, I can't breathe. You remember that phrase. 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.000 The New York Times probably wrote three thousand and eight 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.560 hundred articles about that phrase, zero about Henry Noak. And 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:38.000 the cops said, yeah, you're fine, shut up and immediately 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:43.480 assumed because the minority fellows had called the cops and said, hey, 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.880 we just got attacked by a white guy, and so 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:46.760 they showed up. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:47.960 They believed it. 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.839 They didn't do any investigation of who was the victim 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.240 and who was the perpetrator, and just let this guy 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.960 bleed out while handcuffed. They handcuffed him as he was 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.960 saying I've been stabbed. I can't breathe, I can't that's rough, 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.600 and let them sit there and bleed out. Then immediately said, okay, 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:05.479 to the other guys, you. 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.240 Got injuries, what do you do to you? What happened here. 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.160 Well, not to mention that as a as a cop, 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.560 you're supposed to help the person, even if they were 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.440 even if they're horrible people, even if they're they instigated 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.040 it or whatever, you're not supposed to. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:22.840 Let them die on the street. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.800 You might be a person of good conscience and you're 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:32.320 thinking now as we speak, well, okay, so there is 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:36.800 kind of an ethnic curacial component to this, but maybe 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.840 it was just one bad, stupid cop wasn't very good 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:46.080 at assessing the situation, and it's incredibly unfortunate. But you 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:50.000 have to understand, and I don't like, you know, playing 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.960 the victim card unnecessarily as a conservative or a white 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.280 person or whatever. I think it's pathetic, But you have 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.840 to understand the atmosphere in Britain. There's already widespread, huge 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:04.560 demonstrations going on against their two tiered policing system where 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.800 and most of this has to do with Muslims, and 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:11.640 Seeks are not Muslims aware of that. But the most 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.960 infamous case was a fellow said he was going to 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:18.280 burn a Koran and started to and he was stabbed 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.360 by an offended Muslim and the burning got a more 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:28.400 stiff penalty than the stabbing, and there is a terrified, woke, 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:34.160 self hating two tiered policing going on Britain. You may 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:38.199 recall the absolutely horrific this should be one of the 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.280 most famous stories in the world over the last twenty years, 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:46.280 where the British police, the authorities state, local, and federal, 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.959 or whatever they call them, they're covered up the Pakistani 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:54.240 rape gangs who were grooming and raping young white girls 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.160 because they really didn't want to anger the Muslim community 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.800 or look like racists, and so they let young girls 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.160 get victimized over and over and over again out of 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.400 gosh what used to be called political correctness, I guess 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.480 absolutely nightmares. So that's the ground that the seed of 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:14.400 the Henry Noak killing was planted in and the cops 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:19.400 utter disregard for poor mister Noak, who is entirely a victim. 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:23.760 The stabber just got sentenced to life in prison, which 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.160 could be as short as twenty one years in British law, 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.360 and all of the evidence now in the body cam 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.520 footage is out. That's why this is so hot now again. 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.360 But it's it's horrible, and you know, some right wingy 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.240 folks who I don't like their methods or what they say, 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.080 are seizing on this to really whip people up. So 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.839 if you hear the name Henry Noak, that's what's going 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.160 on with him. 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:50.880 Speaking of right. 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.000 Wing people, I want to hear what you know about 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:58.120 Candace and Russia. Candace OANs is in Russia. I hadn't 0:09:58.200 --> 0:09:59.960 caught that. I don't follow her much. 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.480 Yeah, she's in Russia to kiss up to Putin and 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:08.199 appear to conference praising Russia and denigrating the United States. 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.520 Russian security forces are going to be there. It's something. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:14.559 Disgusting. 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.520 Yeah, she and Tucker are traders to the United States. 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.600 You get to because we have free speech, but you know, 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.040 I also get to call them traders. 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.760 You would hope that you can't become a gazillionaire being 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.959 a trader to your own country, though, yeah you can 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:30.280 these days apparently. Do you want to talk about the 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:34.680 whole war with Ukraine thing? Speaking of Russia? But also 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.320 jobs numbers out kind of interesting? 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:37.040 What does this mean? 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:42.800 Lots of jobs, unemployment low. People have a horrible view of. 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.840 The economy though because of inflation any lots of stuff 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:57.440 on the ways to hear Daro Modi is either going 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:02.280 to save humankind from the ravages of AI, or he's 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:03.360 a fraud and. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:04.640 I don't actually know which. 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.600 He runs in Tropic, which is emerged recently as the 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:16.920 top AI power in the world, surpassing Altman's chat GBT. 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:21.040 He's the one EMODI is the one that's most loudly 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.240 calling for regulations and everything like that. Now, our friend 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.720 Tim Sanderfer would point out that whether you're a moving 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.560 company or a drug maker or maybe an AI company, 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.120 if you're the leader, you always are a regulations because 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.360 it makes it very difficult for your competitors to catch 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.480 up to you or surpass you, or compete against you. 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.079 The more complex and expensive, the better. That's right. 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.000 On the other hand, I've watched a lot of interviews 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.040 with the guy, and he seems very very sincere that 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.160 he's worried that AI is going to destroy the world, 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.360 and hey, somebody ought to do something about this. Anyway, 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:56.040 he's out again and Tropic urges global pause and AI 0:11:56.160 --> 0:12:02.720 development flags self improvement risk. He says that AI models 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.080 are nearing the capability to start improving on their own 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.160 with human intervention, and what they do when they start 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.640 programming themselves is anybody's guests unless we try to put 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.960 some guidelines in place, which is an open question on 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:17.600 its own whether that's even possible. 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:22.840 So he's calling for a pause in AI development. 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:24.440 You want to pause one? 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.040 Ye're in the lead, so that would be like you're 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.440 the who's currently the Detroit Tigers, I think is the 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.719 best team in the baseball They say, I think we 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.920 should pause the Major League Baseball season and the crown 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.760 and winner. Now, I just say, it'll be good for 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.160 the fans, it'd be good for the game. 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.840 I too, am torn between the more cynical view of 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:50.040 mister Emodi and and taking him at his word. I 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:51.719 just want to ask, do I even have to say 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:52.360 it out loud? 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:58.280 Dario? What about China? Right? What you can? He said? 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:02.000 And it's written by several heavyweights in the industry, but yeah, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:02.360 go ahead. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.000 He wants a global pause, which would include shot up. 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:08.800 Yeah, I want a little. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:13.240 To peace, Dario, Seriously, I sincerely want world peace. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.400 What about China, North Korea, Russia? 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.600 So your belief is you could not make China go 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.680 along with a pause or yeah? 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.320 I believe that because it's so obvious I could explain 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:32.680 it to a dog. But apparently amodi, no offense, Dario. 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.120 You're a fine fellow and very clever. But seriously, dude, 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.600 we believe doers are not going to pause. 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:42.960 We believe it would be good for the world to 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.280 have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.800 while we're currently in the lead. I slipped that part 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:53.480 in AI development to enable societal structures and alignment research 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:57.520 to keep up with the advance of the technology. Now 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.480 that we're in first place, you added that again. 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:01.160 I caught you. 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:06.600 Yeah, uh, it proposes a global agreement. 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:09.560 Oh seriously, are you children? 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.520 Recursive self improvement is the fancy term that they use 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.000 now for what they used to just refer to as 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:23.120 AGI or ASI. That's when that can start just improving 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.600 itself on its own, and then that will that improved 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.680 thing will improve itself, and it could what Elon always 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:33.320 talks about. It could start just like exponentially start improving 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:37.000 itself to where what you have by eight o'clock tonight 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:40.360 is significantly different than what you had this morning. I mean, 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.880 it could just exponentially explode like that. 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.560 And that which boggles the mind. It does. It does 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:46.360 boggle the mind. 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.960 And a lot of these guys think We're going to 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.920 reach that day one of these days, and the AI 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.400 from Friday morning is not going to be the AI 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.520 that is doing all kinds of things to the world 0:14:56.520 --> 0:15:00.760 by Monday afternoon, m which it does boggle the mind. 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.080 And I don't want to be just knee jerk cynical, 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.520 because Dario and his crew have, like from the beginning 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.800 of their company Anthropic, they've been talking about AI safety 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.320 in a way that they've been real leaders in that. 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:20.400 I just nobody ever answers the China question, or in short, 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:21.720 the evildoer's question. 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.600 Others have suggested to the other side of it here. 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.840 Others have suggested that anthropics warnings about the dangerous potential 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.560 of its own tools could be considered a marketing ploy. 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.840 Such skeptics point to anthropics decision to limit release of 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:41.280 the powerful Mythos cybersecurity model capable of finding buzzing problems, 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.040 as a handy way to tout the capabilities of product. 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.520 Our product is so powerful, we can't release it to 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:47.960 the public. 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:49.400 It's that good. 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.760 It reminds me of like those fifties horror movies and 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.520 sci fi movies. Do not view this movie if you 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.040 have a heart condition or are prone to palpitations. This 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:00.960 movie is too terrifying. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.080 I thought this was pretty good from this professor at 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.640 Wharton's School of Business where Trump got his degree. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.680 That's where I got my degree. Oh wait, no I didn't. 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.240 He said, I'm gonna pad my resume. Yes I did, 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:15.119 By God. 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:15.480 He said. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.040 Anthropic is full of true believers all the way around. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:23.360 AI labs are a mix of things, said the expert. 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.000 There is a trillion dollar company, which is hard to 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.600 wrap your head around on its own. There's a trillion 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:33.000 dollar company with all the normal trillion dollar company stuff 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.720 like marketing teams and lawyers. Then there's a core of 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.320 researchers who are just building the next models. And then 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.040 there's a set of people who are philosopher kings who 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.120 are concerned about the future and what comes next, and 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.560 they're all in confidt with each other at all times, 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.560 which of course is true. Yeah, I'm sure you have 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:54.960 people in the philosopher king crowd, which is who I'd 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.040 be hanging out with. Who are in there in these 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.720 companies thinking this is just a disaster. It's just a 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:01.720 matter of when. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:08.919 Nuclear weapon anti proliferation efforts are child's play compared to 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.240 software anti proliferation? 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:12.119 Are you kidding me? 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:17.240 Might even be impossible, regardless of any efforts might be yikes, yeah, yikes. 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.800 Is I can get my organ's robot over lords if 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.840 you can use them. They're pretty worn out. 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.119 Always the harvesting organs. It's always where you go. 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.240 Yep, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.320 Goss despair first. 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:35.080 Storms, critics. 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:39.360 Likes the crowd, You like to quiet the critics. Oh, 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:43.440 I love shut up critics. My beloved Carolina Hurricanes. Gosh, 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.720 I've been a fan for how many years now? One 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:52.480 equaling the Stanley Cup Finals had won. Hey, Amazon, two 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.680 day Prime, two day Prime. 0:17:56.119 --> 0:18:00.000 It's taking me five days to get my Carolinas Hurricanes taste. 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:02.720 And I want to jump on the bandwagon now. 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.560 If he gets it after the ambastard they win or lose, 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:06.640 that'll take all the fun. 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.280 Out of it, I know, I know. 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:11.480 Speaking of sports, Game two of the NBA Finals tonight, 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.399 Trump says he's gonna go to one of the home 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.200 games when the Knicks get to town, because they start 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.080 in San Antonio where they're playing tonight for Game two. 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.120 But that'll be quite the something. 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.359 It'll be something if Trump goes to Madison Court Square 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:26.480 Garden for one of the games. 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.040 I was just gonna say, speaking of the Connector Bockers, 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.479 the journalists got this story. It starts with this, this 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.120 guy who is a celebrity watch consultant for. 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:36.840 Jay Z's Rock Nation. 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.960 A celebrity watch consultant, like watching celebrities or the wristwatch, 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:43.639 I believe, the risk watches. 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:48.080 Okay, yeah, yeah, that's some gig. But he's got access 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.800 to all sorts of people and sources in New York City, 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.240 and he knows a couple of like high level ticket 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.360 brokers and stuff. And he's a big, big, big Knicks fan, 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:01.560 and he was looking into tickets and the nosebleeds were 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:02.800 running eight thousand. 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:03.920 Dollars as of yesterday. 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.960 The get ins to get in right exactly, just to 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.439 say you were in the building. You're squinting, you see 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.399 tiny figures running around on the court. You're mostly watching 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.560 the jumbo tron that'll cost you eight thousand dollars, but 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:19.639 the good seats. You're now competing against Wall Street titans 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:24.000 and hedge fund guys for whom money is no object, 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:28.639 right Wall Street, big law, real estate, big wigs, celebrities, 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.199 and nobody knows how high. These tickets are going to go. 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:32.840 But Jack, you brought us the news the other day 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.119 on the floor seats my co for seven figures. 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:40.520 You know, I had the worst seats you could have. 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.840 When the La Lakers played the Sacramento Kings Game seven 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:49.440 of the Western Conference Finals many years ago, and after. 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:50.440 Game six was fixed. 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.240 Never forget it was a Game seven with the Lakers 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:54.639 and Shack and Kobe and everything I got. It was 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.280 a big and it was awesome, even though they were 0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.160 the worst seats you could have in the internet. Being 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:04.119 there the inner it was it was so freaking cool. Yeah, 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.159 so there's an advantage to be in there. Yeah, I 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:08.440 would agree. I would agree. 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.439 And it's a warm memory and you tell the story 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:11.240 for the rest of your life. 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:12.600 What does that worth? I don't know. It's up to 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:13.240 the individual. 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:15.600 But I love this part, getting close to the action 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.560 that such live events confers status. We've been discussing this 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.399 for I mean, you're Tim Shallomey, You're sitting in a 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.800 row behind Tracy Morgan's humiliating. 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.040 I'd put a bag over my head anyway. 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:33.880 This woman is the founder of a concierge agency, and 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:38.280 she says these tickets are like Taylor Swift madness for 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:39.440 finance bros. 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:42.680 I'm sure, but there's gotta be and nobody explains this. 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:44.600 There's got to be some sort of mechanism to get 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.399 celebrities in the front rows. Otherwise, if it were just 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:49.800 who's got the most money, wouldn't it be all hedge 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:52.800 funds managers sitting in the front two rows, or wouldn't 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:56.040 be a celebrity to be seen as opposed to always 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.720 John Stewart and Ben Stiller and Michael J. Fox and 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:02.320 Timothy Shallomey and Tracy Morgan all in that row. 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:05.679 Interestingly enough, And this is what really intrigued me. So 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:10.600 this woman's concierge agency arranges travel and experiences for dozens 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.720 of members, most of them in private equity. Okay with 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:18.159 networks slow down, with net worths ranging from tens of 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:21.760 millions of dollars to billions of dollars. And it's the 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.960 lower end of that spectrum that tends to shell out 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:27.960 more because she says, they have the most to prove 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:32.479 they care about. If they are seen, you've got billions 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.040 of dollars, you don't care about anything. 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.000 Right, some of the guys with more money, you're thinking 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.280
