1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and 3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: Getty and he Armstrong and Getty. 4 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: Former Vice President Kamala Harris announcing she will not run 5 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: for governor of California next year. Harris says she gave 6 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: serious thought to running for governor of her home state. 7 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: She now says she will not run. Those close to 8 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 2: Harris tonight reportedly saying this decision does now leave open 9 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: the potential for another presidential run in twenty twenty eight. 10 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: That's hilarious. Before we get to that breaking news, we 11 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: have got a tariff deal done with Mexico, our biggest 12 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: trading partner by bo. Haven't seen the details, but there 13 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: you go. As August first, the deadline is hitting tomorrow. 14 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: You know, the one still l Diablo is in the details. Jack. 15 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: Back to you, congratulations on your fourth grade level knowledge 16 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 1: of Spanish at best. Anyway, back to the dunderpate Kamala Harris. Yes, 17 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: So the first thing I thought when I heard she's 18 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: not running for governor of California, which is a little 19 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: surprising to me because I think she could win or 20 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: she'd have been certainly a formidable force. 21 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's a brief discussion among the union goons 22 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 3: who they will annoint, who will be their most compliant prostitute. 23 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 3: In whoever answers that call, Gavin Will will be the 24 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,639 Speaker 3: appointed Democratic governor. 25 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, and she probably would have gotten that nod. Yeah, 26 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: And that's twenty six. Is the governor race for California, 27 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: twenty eighth to presidential race obviously, and there had been 28 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: talk that she's thinking about that. Now it seems completely clear. 29 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: This is from the New York Times today. She's expected 30 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: to form an organization shortly that would allow her to 31 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: raise funds and pay for travel and political political activities. 32 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: Once you do that, everything is paid for. So all 33 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: your flights, your hotels, your meals, your car, everything you 34 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: do is paid for by somebody else once you start 35 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: that progress podcast as her vodcast and the vodcast Yes, 36 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: as I said earlier, I will be campaigning in Maui 37 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: and Aspen and Manhattan, and in the winter time in Miami, 38 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: mostly Miami. I'll be campaigning in Miami. Representative Robert Garcia 39 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: of California said on Wednesday that he had spoken with 40 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: Ms Harris about traveling to competitive house districts, but beginning 41 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: this fall to assist Democratic candidates. She's going to be 42 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: all across the country for the twenty twenty six mid terms. 43 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: She wants to help us flip the House. Are there 44 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: Democrats out there that because there aren't very many competitive seats? 45 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: Do you know the Republicans and Democrats work together on 46 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: that to make sure there's only like a small number 47 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: of seats that are actually competitive. They battle on the 48 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: rest of them are solid. They draw the line so 49 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: that neither one of them could lose. But anyway, are 50 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: the Democrats out there in competitive seats that want Kamala 51 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: Harris on stage with them? Oh? 52 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 3: No, If I were a Democratic candidate, I barricade myself 53 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 3: in my house and threatened suicide instead of letting her 54 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: on the stage with me. 55 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: Are you kidding? It's the last thing I want anyway, Harris, 56 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: who is white. 57 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I was thinking, what would really help 58 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: me with my campaign is the stench of a loser? 59 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 3: Do you have any that I might hang around and 60 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: pick up their stench? 61 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: Particularly one that if she goes to speak, she rambles 62 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: on endlessly about nothing, h sucking all of the energy 63 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: out of my already on inspiring rallies. 64 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 4: It is time for us to do what we have 65 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 4: been doing in that time as every day. 66 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: And as we all know, that was not an outlier 67 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: that statement. She did that sort of thing all the 68 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: freaking time, which is the New York Times. Get to 69 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: that here. Miss Harris, who was widely criticized last year 70 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: for doing very few media interviews, is expected to begin 71 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: talking with podcast hosts and journalists beginning after Labor Day. 72 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: That's just a month away, according to a person she 73 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: has spoken with about her plans. So she thinks she 74 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: failed because she didn't do enough interviews, and now she's 75 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: going to do a bunch of interviews. You didn't do 76 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: interviews because you knew or your handlers knew that you 77 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: couldn't do them. You were terrible at them. Every time 78 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: you did them, they ended up being a meme or 79 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: a late night joke off. Try not to be a meme. Well, yes, 80 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: I said at the time. She didn't do Rogan because 81 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: she couldn't do Rogan. 82 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 3: She doesn't have. 83 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: The chops right. Well, she has tried to do it 84 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: with all kinds of qualifications on it. What he could 85 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: ask and all you know the time of the interview 86 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: and all this, and he didn't agree to it because 87 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: she needs boundaries. Trump, as you can see, will go 88 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,119 Speaker 1: out anywhere, talk for ninety minutes to anyone any time, 89 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: and answer any question he's got from any news source. 90 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: She's got a new book out called one hundred and 91 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: seven Days, which was the length of her campaign, and 92 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: I guess this is her talking about her book. Thirty 93 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: nine Michael, just over a. 94 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 4: Year ago, I launched my campaign for President of the 95 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 4: United States, one hundred and seven days, traveling the country, 96 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 4: fighting for our future, the shortest presidential campaign in modern history. 97 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 4: It was intense, high stakes, and deeply personal for me 98 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 4: and for so many of you. Since leaving office, I've 99 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 4: spent a lot of time reflecting on those days, talking 100 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 4: with my team, my family, my friends, and pulling my 101 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 4: thoughts together, in essence writing a journal that is this book, 102 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 4: One hundred and seven Days. With candor and reflection, I've 103 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 4: written a behind the scenes account of that journey. I 104 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 4: believe there's value in sharing what I saw, what I learned, 105 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 4: and what I know it will take to move forward. 106 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 4: In writing this book, one truth kept coming back to me. 107 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 4: Sometimes the fight takes a while, but I remain full 108 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 4: of hope and I remain clear eyed. I will never 109 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 4: stop fighting to make our country reflect the very best 110 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 4: of its ideals. Always on behalf of the people. So 111 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 4: thank you for being in this fight with me. I 112 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 4: am forever grateful and I cannot wait for you to 113 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 4: read this, and I'll see you out there. 114 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: Everybody writes a book if they're running for president because 115 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: it gives the interviewers a reason to have you on. 116 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris has a new book out, and then they 117 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: don't talk about your book. They ask you about all 118 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: these things. You don't talk about your book. You talk 119 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: about the things you want to talk about to run 120 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: for reelection. I doubt she wrote the book. That's not 121 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: really a knock on her, though. Most of the people 122 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: don't write their own books, including John f freaking Kennedy 123 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: who won a Pultzery Prize. He didn't even write his book, 124 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: so not write down for interviews. 125 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 3: And then yeah, now, sometimes the fight takes a very 126 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 3: long time. And when you think about the passage of time, 127 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 3: you can't help but think about the passage of time. 128 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: You know, I was just thinking how she uh. It 129 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: reminded about how about how how often she has nothing there? 130 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: So that like statement was there, I have a book. 131 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: But she didn't work in any anything about anything that 132 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: you could latch onto like Trump from the first moment. Okay, 133 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: he's hardcore anti immig illegal immigration, I mean that just 134 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: all the time. She she doesn't have one of those. 135 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: That's one of her problems. I mean, her thing is 136 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: just I'm for the American people. But you need a 137 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: you need a hook, like a specific topic, an issue, 138 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: I guess is what you call them. 139 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: She doesn't have an issue she does have, and she 140 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: has an IQ of eighty four. Those two things I 141 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 3: think conspire against her. 142 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: She maybe, as sid Rosenberg said on our show at 143 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: the convention, stupid might be the problem, but she still 144 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: has the same problem she had before. And I wonder 145 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: if she's figured that out. One of the reasons she 146 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: didn't do interviews is she doesn't have an answer for 147 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: you were four taxpayers paying for sex changes for illegal prisoners? 148 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: Are you still what changed? I mean, and there's a 149 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: bunch of those, and she never came up with an 150 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: answer for him, And I just wonder if she has now, 151 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: because she's still going to be asked that, right. I mean, 152 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: she still had those positions out there. 153 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 3: Her book One hundred and seven Days, a sequel to 154 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 3: her first book, which was about her first presidential run 155 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: after Iowa, which was entitled zero Again. 156 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: Right, I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't make it 157 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: to Iowa again. I'll bet she doesn't run. She falls 158 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: short of even run. She's not going to get the 159 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: financial backing. She's going to realize there's no people with 160 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: money out there that want to toss her enough coins 161 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: to make it a legitimate run. That might guess, absolutely right. 162 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: I can't imagine unless she's the least self aware person 163 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: on earth. She might be that whatever effect do they 164 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: call that, where incompetent people don't know they're incompetent. She 165 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: might actually be one of those is that Dunning Kruker efect? 166 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: She might be one of those people that don't because 167 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: she's she is unbelievably unseelf aware. If she doesn't realize 168 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: her drawbacks as a candidate, just one of the worst candidate. 169 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: It's maybe the single worst candidate to be the candidate 170 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: for a major party ever, just certainly in your top tier. Yeah. Now, 171 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: they did a pull a new poll that just came 172 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: out today potential twenty twenty eight Democratic candidates. They listened 173 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of names. Now undecided leads the field, 174 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: which tells you that it's wide flipping open, I mean, 175 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: and it should lead the field at this point of course. Yeah, 176 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: But usually there's a Rudy Giuliani, Hillary Clinton, a somebody 177 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: that like is really solid at first place. They often 178 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: end up not being the nominee. But there's some name 179 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: out there. Undecided leads the field by quite a bit 180 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: for the Democrats. So it's I mean, there's not a 181 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: single name out there that is like really getting numbers. 182 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: This latest poll is a little different than polls I've 183 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: seen before, but the numbers are Solow Pete boot Edge 184 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: Edge leads the pack at sixteen percent. 185 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 3: That's ridiculous, Oh sixteen percent, Okay, right, it's leading ridiculous 186 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:42,599 Speaker 3: that anybody would say that. 187 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: But leading the field is undecided at twenty three. So 188 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: you got Pete at sixteen, Kamala right behind him at thirteen, 189 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: which I'm sure is within the margin bearer, so it's 190 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: basically a tie. Gavin Newsom at twelve, so kind of 191 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: got a tie. A tie among that first tier, the 192 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: first tier being below undecided of Mayor, Pete Kamalin and 193 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: Gavin Then you drop down to AOC Josh Shapiro at seven. 194 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: Then everybody else is like insignificant numbers. Yeah, but it's 195 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: wid wide, wide, wide open, And if I had to bet, 196 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: I would bet it's not one of those names. It's 197 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: somebody you've never thought of ever in your life gonna 198 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: catch fire. 199 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, Bill Clinton s character a moderate, well spoken governor 200 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 3: of some state. 201 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: It's not a chance it's gonna be Kamala Harris. It 202 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: would be fantastic if she did end up with the nomination, 203 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: but I don't think there's a chance. 204 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would have to get odds of like five 205 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 3: hundred to one just for the amusement of having that 206 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 3: bet out there, because it's squandering money, it's throwing it away. 207 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: Well other Democratic candidates realize how weak she is. Oh yeah, Yeah, 208 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 1: it's gonna be an enormous field, at least in the 209 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: early going.

But he points 242 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 3: out the Democratic Party is and has always been racist, 243 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 3: from wanting to breed minorities out of existence, to pushing 244 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 3: gun controls so the KKK could threaten, harass and lynch 245 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 3: people without opposition, to wanting them to work below minimum 246 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 3: wage so they can have cheap weed and clean hotel rooms. 247 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 3: They've always hated minority If you doubt it, here's Justice 248 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 3: Ginsburg in an interview with the New York Times, and 249 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 3: he sets it up. But and I went and I 250 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 3: found it. They're talking about abortion rulings Roe v. Wade 251 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 3: and then the Hyde Amendment ruling Harris versus mccraye in 252 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty it upheld the High Amendment who said the 253 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 3: federal government cannot pay for abortions, and she explained why 254 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 3: that ruling surprised her. Frankly, I had thought at the 255 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 3: time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth, 256 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 3: and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to 257 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 3: have too many of whoa. 258 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: Ruth Bader Ginsburg said that out loud. 259 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 3: So that Roe is going to be then set up 260 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 3: for medicaid funding for abortion. She thought the momentum behind 261 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 3: it from the left was that there's a population increased, 262 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 3: particularly populations. 263 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: We don't want to have too many. That's a completely 264 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: different argument than it's my body, my choice. No, your 265 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: argument is this is population control and as of a 266 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: certain kind of person. 267 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then, interestingly, in a kind of a different topic, 268 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 3: but she's asked a different question. She said, well, the 269 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 3: basic thing is that the government has no business making 270 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 3: that choice for a woman. But then she extrapolates that 271 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 3: therefore the government ought to pay for it because some 272 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 3: women can't make that choice and afford it themselves. 273 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: Interesting stuff, but. 274 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 3: Anyway, Yeah, that's the nineteen Actually, this interview was in 275 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 3: two thousand and nine, and she's talking about the late sixties, 276 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 3: early seventies. So the eugenics thing apparently lived on. Let's 277 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 3: see yesterday during the Armstrong and Getty One More Thing podcast, 278 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 3: I made an offhand mention of songs referencing California and 279 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 3: the Big One or California plunging into the oath gne. 280 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 3: First email we get from somebody says, don't forget about 281 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 3: Steely Dan's My Old School, which was literally the first 282 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 3: song I mentioned in the discussion. 283 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: Okay. 284 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 3: Second email, Eric Eric in Beautiful Astoria, Oregon says he 285 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 3: resets it.

You point out 343 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 6: and say I want that, and ay, that's it, and it's. 344 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 3: More according to this medical study, estimates rate range as 345 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 3: high as sixteen million users, more than two billion dollars 346 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 3: in retail sales. 347 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: And you're addicted the first time you try it. That's horrifying. 348 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: How the hell is that still in stores? So you've 349 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: got that, and it should not be in stores. It 350 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: should absolutely not be in stores. It should be eliminated immediately. 351 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: And then it's interesting. I also ran into this story. 352 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: Stronger than fentanyl, a drug you've never heard of, is 353 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: killing hundreds every year. Fentanyl feel the worst drug crisis 354 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,719 Speaker 1: the West has ever seen. Now and even more dangerous 355 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: drug is wreaking havoc faster than authorities can keep up. 356 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: The looming danger is emerging wave of highly potent synthetic 357 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: opioids called nitazines, which you've already killed hundreds of people 358 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: in Europe and left law enforcement scientists scrambling to detect 359 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: them in the drug supply and curb their spread from China. 360 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: Of course, and they have a little graphic here comparative doses. 361 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,239 Speaker 1: Two hundred milligrams of morphine is equal to roughly one 362 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: hundred milligrams of heroin, and that's about the size of 363 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: a pencil eraser. That's the amount of heroin that it 364 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 1: takes equal two hundred milligrams of morphine. 365 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 3: Fentanyl is not one hundred milligrams, it's two milligrams and 366 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 3: is potentially fatable fatal. These protoonitazines are one milligram equals 367 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 3: two hundred milligrams of morphine, and these isotonoonitazines are four 368 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 3: tenths of one milligram packs the punch of a full 369 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 3: dose of heroin, meaning it's incredibly difficult to successfully mix 370 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 3: and cut other drugs with. 371 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: How in the hell is that available at the gas station. 372 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 3: Well, this stuff is not This is different than the 373 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 3: kraton it's yet a number. Look, here's the story. My 374 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 3: generation could do hard drugs. It was a terrible idea, 375 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 3: as Ret Miller of the old ninety sevens once saying, 376 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 3: there's been ocean's alcohol, mountains of weed, a handful of pills, 377 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 3: but none of the hard stuff that has kills. And 378 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 3: that was back in the day. 379 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: Hard drugs are death. 380 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 3: Now powder drugs is there's sometimes not Powder drugs are death. 381 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 3: And we've just got to let everybody know the cocaine 382 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 3: of Studio fifty four. 383 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: Or or whatever. 384 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 3: That's that's a model tea. It's a different world now horrifying. 385 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 3: It is horrifying. And the fact that some of this 386 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 3: crap can be sold over the counter. 387 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: I karamba. So different topic AI one of my favorite 388 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: topics to talk about. My cyber truck Tesla, had an 389 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: update yesterday. And it's an interesting thing if you drive 390 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: a Tesla, because an update might all of a sudden, 391 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: the sphoedometer's over here and the temperature and time is 392 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: over here. Your cycle year iPhone gets a new operating system. 393 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: Everything changes. Some of it you like, some of it 394 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 1: you hate. 395 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 3: Anyway, does it sometimes like turn into a motorcycle or 396 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 3: no windows? 397 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: Or the update from last night? So I looked at 398 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: it this morning and said, you now can talk to Groc. 399 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: So Groc is automatically installed, and the little microphone thing 400 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: on there where I normally might say, you know, play 401 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: Bob Dylan to my Spotify, I could say, hey, Groc, 402 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: who is the third baseman for the Cubs that hit 403 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: a lot of home runs or whatever? I'm going to 404 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: ask it, and it's in there. But I thought this 405 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: was kind of interesting. You can now talk to Groc 406 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: in your tesla, an intelligent assistant built in choose Groc's 407 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: voice and personality, ranging from storyteller to unhinged. What the 408 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: hell is unhinged? Wait a minute, that's an option. Yeah, 409 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: I'll have to check that out and let you know 410 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: what I think of it. The Dispatch, which we subscribe to, 411 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: is writing about AI today and came across a couple 412 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: of really interesting things. And April survey by the Pew 413 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: Research Center found that about two thirds of US adults 414 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: believe that AI will lead to fewer jobs over the 415 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: next two decades. Two thirds of adults their sense is 416 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: my sense is there are going to be fewer jobs. Well, 417 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: just five percent think it will lead to more jobs. 418 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: I don't know what people thought about technology the past, 419 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: because you know, people make that claim all the time. 420 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: That's what they said about the printing press or the 421 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: I don't know all the cotton jin or whatever, and 422 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: it actually led to more jobs. I don't think that's 423 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: going to be the case this time. But listen to 424 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: this dig this shizzle. So the idea is that AI 425 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: is going to come along and be so freaking productive 426 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: that our GDP will go way up, and we'll have 427 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: so much money in this country that we're just don't 428 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: let out checks to everybody to sit at home and 429 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: pursue your poetry career, play guitar or whatever it is, 430 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: and everybody will just be happy, won't they. That's a 431 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: hilariously stupid idea that people will be happy not working. 432 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: But to the economic activity AI optimists, and they talked 433 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: to a whole bunch of people in Silicon Valley, all 434 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 1: the best experts out there who are all guessing to 435 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: a certain extent and or profiting from the development of 436 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: AI good point say that AI is going to propel 437 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: the global economy into extreme levels of economic growth, believing 438 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: that GDP growth could explode to Yes, today we have 439 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: a three percent number three percent growth and we are 440 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: happy with that. You get five to seven to eight 441 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: percent growth. Insane, I mean, you know how great that 442 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: They think AI will lead to an unprecedented twenty to 443 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: thirty percent annual growth in the near future. Researchers at 444 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: epoch AI it's some global thing that studies the say 445 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: that if AAI is able to automate thirty percent of tasks, 446 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: GDP growth would be twenty percent their number is a 447 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: little lower than the thirty percent. There's a widely circulated 448 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: paper called AI twenty twenty seven that claims AI could 449 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: be super intelligent in the next few years and that 450 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: could lead to GDP growth in those numbers of thirty 451 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: percent or more. 452 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 3: I almost don't want to go down this road, although 453 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 3: I think it's a good one, and we need to 454 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 3: deal with eventually. 455 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: In what way? 456 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 3: By what means will all of that enormous economic activity 457 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 3: be funneled to me the jobless poet well suffocating levels 458 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 3: of taxation, and then the usual politics of who gets what. Well, 459 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 3: we'll have to money in class. The powerful class in 460 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 3: DC keeps their share. 461 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll have to completely restructure society, though. The 462 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: idea is that you're not even expected to work. Will 463 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: be what do they call that when you get a 464 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: check like they tried and stock the nherciates basic income, 465 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: guaranteed basic income. That will just become the norm for everybody. 466 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: You're born in this country and you're guaranteed basic income 467 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: kigs in of whatever amount. You're right about the rich 468 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: and powerful siphoning off their chunk, but not not everybody's 469 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: numbers are that high, but some people that are not 470 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: like AI honks necessarily. JP Morgan anticipates an eight to 471 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: nine percent boost to GDPA GDP over the next decade 472 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: because of AI. That would be enormous. I mean, you 473 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: don't need to throw around numbers like thirty percent. Eight 474 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: to night percent on top of whatever we're already doing, 475 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: would be world changing. Goldman Sachs is more bullish, estimating 476 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: a fifteen percent GDP increase over the next decade. 477 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 3: Wow, that would could crow us out of our suffocating 478 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 3: federal debt. True, unless the government keeps spending beyond its means, 479 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 3: which they will. 480 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: Sorry, I have no fun I have Yeah. They also 481 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: said that if you talk to Silicon Valley, there seems 482 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: to be a break between people that think the super 483 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: intelligent AI that's going to change the world is going 484 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: to happen in twenty twenty seven versus people who think 485 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen in twenty thirty five. Those those are 486 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: the two big groups. Leaven thirty fives awful, dang close, Yeah, 487 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: no kidding. A couple more AI notes. 488 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 3: Very briefly, I kind of into the last segment, yelling 489 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 3: at Mike in Arkansas for answering the question about songs 490 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 3: that reference California falling into the sea by using chat GPT, 491 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 3: because I'm a fan of just the conversation and brainstorming 492 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 3: and trying to remember it. 493 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: It's fun. 494 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 3: On the other hand, Mike, it is amazing. I mean 495 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 3: it's it's he just I see his prompt and it 496 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 3: just came back with, you know, a dozen or so 497 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 3: songs and others that kind of imply California'll come into 498 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 3: this fall into the sea. It's it's amazing, Mike. Thanks 499 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 3: for sending that along. I'm not actually mad. I just 500 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 3: want to make the point. 501 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: GPT probably eight times a day on average this point 502 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: in my life. Wow that much, Huh. I got a 503 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: couple of things I've been meaning to ask it. Uh. 504 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 3: And then this is from Noah Beautiful Loomis, California, longtime listener, 505 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 3: blah bah Bah. I thought i'd share my experience using 506 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 3: a chatbot out of boredom I felt a I fed 507 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 3: it a random scenario is mostly aimed around relationship conflicts, 508 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 3: just to see what it would do. After receiving multiple 509 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 3: affirmations for my side of the story. Remember, he made 510 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 3: up all this stuff. 511 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: That's what all therapists do, the firm your side, and. 512 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 3: The chatbot telling me how right I am and how 513 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 3: my hypothetical pathetical partner doesn't under stand. I decided to 514 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 3: attempt to call it out by saying, quote, it seems 515 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 3: like you're only taking things from my point of view, etc. 516 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: It then went down. 517 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 3: A weird rabbit hole of giving me random statistics. One 518 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 3: of them said, quote, out of the four million people 519 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 3: that have used said bot, I was one of fifteen 520 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,479 Speaker 3: hundred to ask that question. 521 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: I prompted it again, saying that's not possible. 522 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 3: It then began giving me a made up statistic after 523 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 3: made up statistic, telling me how I's one of the 524 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 3: select few to point this out. The longer this went on, 525 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 3: the more the bot would insist I was special and 526 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 3: no one else was asking the questions I was asking, which, 527 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 3: of course, I know cannot be true. Absolutely horrifying for 528 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 3: younger generations, as their biases and self importance seems to 529 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 3: be getting constantly confirmed by these bots. 530 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: Well like that one. I assume it's one of those 531 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: language learning models. Did it just pick up on the 532 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: fact that that's what most therapists do. They affirm your 533 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: side and say you're right, your mom is a monster 534 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: or your husband is a monster or whatever. It's never 535 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: you because you'd stop paying them. 536 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 3: Well, and then I read some tech guru talking about 537 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 3: the fact that they've realized that these language learning models, 538 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 3: these these you know, the massive hoovers of verbage and 539 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 3: information from the net, they're starting to hoover up each other's. 540 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: Bullets right right, could lead to the Internet being completely 541 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: full of crap, more full of crap, more full of 542 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: crap than it already. Yes, yes, hum, I don't think 543 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: human beings can handle this. There's also the AA problem 544 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: very briefly of and Google now does this to their 545 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: own detriment eventually, I think. But chat GPT or whatever, 546 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: So you ask, you know, what are the the top 547 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: ten movies of all time Oscar winners. There are sites 548 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: that used to have that stuff, that people compiled that 549 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: list for profit, lots of sites everything you can imagine. 550 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: And the idea is you would go to that site 551 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: to get the answer on whatever you're looking for, and 552 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: there'd be ads there and they would get clicks and 553 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: they would make money as soon. But now chad GBT 554 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: gives it to you or the AI thing at the 555 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: top of Google gives it to you without going to 556 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: the site. Well, then nobody's gonna create these sites anymore 557 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: because there's no clicks or money to be made. I mean, 558 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: that's gonna happen fast, isn't it, and not reproducing. So 559 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: Planet of the Beavers, I guess we'll finish strong. 560 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 7: Next start of the year, we are gonna go back 561 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 7: to the Moon. We're not gonna land, We're gonna go 562 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 7: around the Moon. And then about a year later, we're 563 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 7: gonna land back on the moon. Under Donald Trump's tenure, 564 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 7: back on the moon six days, and then after that. 565 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna set up a base camp. 566 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 7: We're gonna stand the moon, and what we learn on 567 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 7: the moon is what's gonna take us. 568 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: To Mars, and we're gonna plan a flag. I guess 569 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna land up there and make a little basin, 570 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: plan a flag. Start that under Trump's term. Yeah, I 571 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: want to hear that. Next clip? Can we play that, Michael, What. 572 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,239 Speaker 3: Makes you think free I atlists could actually be an 573 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 3: alien space? 574 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 7: No? 575 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 3: Sorry, I meant the next Sean Duffy clip thirty five. 576 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: The moon is a big place. 577 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 7: There are very specific areas of the Moon that are 578 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 7: critical that who gets their first guests to plant their flag. 579 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 7: That's critically important. We want to get there with their 580 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 7: international partners. We know the Chinese want to get there 581 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 7: as well, and so speed is of the essence. 582 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 3: Okay, So the Chinese who are ramming Filipino naval vessels 583 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 3: and building islands which they swear they won't militarize, then 584 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 3: militarizing those islands in the South Pacific or the South CHINNESSEEA, 585 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 3: they're going to respect a flag planting. 586 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: Well, first of all, that is the most forceful statement 587 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: I've ever heard of. This is going to be just 588 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: like conquest was on Planet Earth. M I mean, that's 589 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: settler colonials. We're the only ones that could do it forever. 590 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, obviously we're gonna see in our lifetime. Boy, 591 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna be something to watch the very first battles 592 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: over space. The it's always been kind of seen as like, well, 593 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: you know, it's a different world space. It won't be, 594 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: But it's gonna be exactly like Planet Earth was. You 595 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: got a chunk of resources, it's ours, it's ours unless 596 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: I can take it then it's mine. Yes, yes, true. 597 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: Since the dawn of man and it's not gonna be 598 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: any different because it's pristine space. It's exactly the same. 599 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: So at some point China will get to something on 600 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: will decide we want that or half of that, or 601 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: you don't get to have all of it, or vice versa, 602 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: and then it's. 603 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 3: All right, right, Moon Wars Star Wars, if you will. 604 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 3: I love Sean Duffy. I think he's doing all sorts 605 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 3: of great stuff. He's one of Trump's best appointees. But 606 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 3: I just don't get the whole planting the flag thing. 607 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 3: But are we going, oh, hey, chairman, she we can't 608 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 3: go there. They've planted their flag. What do you mean 609 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 3: you don't get it? I mean it's it's this. I 610 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 3: think it's clear what the statement is. We've planted our flag. 611 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 3: What are you going to do about it? Meaning and 612 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 3: militarized it. We planted our flag. It's ours. 613 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: So if they say no, it's not, well then it 614 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: goes from there. So it's the initial step in. It's 615 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: the initial step, and we'll just we're just going to 616 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: extend the Monroe doctrine to the moon. It's our moon. Yeah, clearly, 617 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: American move got there first, our freaking moon. 618 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. I guess my point is if they planted their flag, 619 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 3: we'd say, yeah, we don't care. 620 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: It's har moon. Yes, yes, yes, indeed, Jack Clark, GISs 621 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: time stop Jack and Joe. 622 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 5: They've got to go and if they don't give can 623 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 5: they'll be back tomorrow. 624 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: Wow, that'll be exciting to watch. I could be. Well, 625 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: I'll save that for my last thought. Here's your host 626 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: for last last thoughts, Joe getting it's final thoughts. 627 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 3: But let's get one of them from everybody on the 628 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 3: crew to wrap things up for the day. Why not 629 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 3: start with our technical director Michaelangelo? And Michael, do you 630 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 3: have an ultimate thoughts? 631 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 6: No, just thinking that if we go back to the moon, 632 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 6: we got to send celebrities like Gel King and Katy 633 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 6: Perry again obviously duh. 634 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: Do you have a far from the beginning thought, Katie Green? 635 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: I actually do. 636 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 6: My new plan is to print out a bunch of flags, 637 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 6: and when I want something, I'm going to stake my. 638 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: Flag in it and you claim it. 639 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 3: There you go mine, I've planted my flag jacket toward 640 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 3: the end thought for us, Yes, that would be a 641 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 3: national humiliation if we put a flag up there and 642 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 3: then China goes up and knocks it down and puts. 643 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: Up their flag. That'd be rough. I don't think we'd 644 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: stand for it. No, or have our astronaut just kick 645 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: theirs over. 646 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 3: Give a big white gloved middle finger to China space 647 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 3: because it'll be high death these days, folks. 648 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: No grainy Neil Armstrong for it now right? And then 649 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: he breaks the flag over his big padded knee, throws 650 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: whiter's ass with it. Huh, not too much, too far? 651 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 3: A flag turns around, pretends we're brainstorming here. 652 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 1: We don't want to escalate. Let's not escalate. Oh I 653 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: hope that does happen in my lifetime.
