WEBVTT - Talented & Rich, Too!? I Hate Him! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.080 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.720 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:22.440 and get Jaky and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.080 The future for Wendy's. They call it Fresh AI. Here's 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.800 how it works. A customer drives up and talks into 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:30.400 this speaker. 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.479 Hi, welcome to Wendy's. Feel free to order whenever you 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:33.960 are ready. 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.800 The AI takes the order inside. Human workers watch a 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.160 monitor as the order comes, then they prepare the meal. 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.159 In twenty twenty three, wendy started offering AI drive throughs 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.960 now nearly one hundred across nineteen states, with more on 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.320 the way. Wendy's partnered with Google Cloud to create their tech. 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.520 It uses generative AI, which means it's always learning and 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.040 should improve over time. 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.160 I feel like they're stretching what people generally mean when 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:08.399 they're talking about AI, because the whole uh, what can 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.920 we help you with computer voice? And then you tell 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:17.440 them prescriptions has been around for ten years. So if 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.200 you're calling that AI, okay, fine, because it is artificial, 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.319 it's not human. They draw lines. Yeah, but that's I 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.080 don't think that's where we're Yeah, it's funny. 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.240 My comment was going to be, We're gonna raise the 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:34.040 wages of fast food workers until it's impossible to employ them, 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.360 to make sure they don't have a chance of keeping 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:37.120 their jobs. 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:44.759 Gavin Newsom with his idiotic, bizarre abuse of the economy. 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.920 My reaction is, I don't mind any of this stuff 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.320 as long as it works. But if it's like the 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.840 bank or the pharmacy or any other place I ever 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.120 call with those stupid systems, I'm gonna pull up and 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:55.680 say I'd like a cheeseburger. 0:01:55.840 --> 0:02:01.960 Did you say shake, no cheeseburger? Did you say chicken sandwich? Now? 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.680 Did you say you want it raw? A raw chicken sandwich? 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:10.279 Please pull up to the next window, right exactly. 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:16.040 And it makes me inside right human being agent press 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.000 zero something. I don't want any of the I like 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:20.960 when they give you three options and none of them 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.160 are your option. I don't want any of those three things. 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:29.079 Did you want checking savings or mortgages? None of those? 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:36.120 What am I supposed to do now, computer lady? Three choices? Anyway? 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:40.080 I only bring up the AI thing because ooh, video vidio, 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.600 which was a hot of stock in America over the 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.520 last couple of years. If you'd put or if I 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.120 to put a whole bunch of money in there, and 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.040 you know I'd be I'd be on a yacht somewhere 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.440 right now. That's how much. And part of the reason 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.760 they make computer chips, super fast computer chips, and the 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.200 reason it is skyrocketed so much is the idea that 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:02.120 AI is gonna be the biggest thing ever and it's 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.720 gonna need tons and tons of the fastest computer chips 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.320 out there to be able to do it. And that's 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:10.079 why this is the hottest stock going and only the 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.520 best chips will do anything less than the best chips, 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:17.040 and you don't have a chance of competing. Except for today. 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.800 We found out apparently that China has their own AI 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.440 thing called deep Seek, and it's really good and they 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.359 did it with slow chips, and Nvidia stock dropped twelve 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.639 percent and people are thinking, whoa, maybe you don't need 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.240 super fast chips to do AI. Just to skip to 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.880 some of the headlines on this, deep Seek is the 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:42.160 Chinese thing. We were told by experts to come up 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:47.400 with this level of AI, and the specialists say Deep 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.400 Seeks is still behind Open AI and Google, thank god, 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.640 are good American AIS, but it is a close rival, 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.360 despite using fewer and much less advanced chips and in 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.960 some cases skipping many steps the US TO developers thought 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.880 were essential to be able to do this sort of thing. 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.520 We were told by our experts it take between one 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.920 hundred million and a billion dollars to come up with 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.600 something like this. I mean, you got a the best 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.800 case scenario one hundred million, but probably somewhere, you know, 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.120 half billion to a billion dollars in the very fastest 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.279 ships that exist. Deep Seek did it with, or China 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.960 did it with much slower trips for about five and 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.680 a half million dollars. Wow, five and a half million dollars. 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.160 And another aspect of this worth mentioning is that we 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.400 were told that, don't worry, we'll keep the dirty commies 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:38.279 down with these export controls. But evidently they didn't control 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.240 nearly as much as it was claimed they would. 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.919 In terms of progress, the headline being Silicon Valley is 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.560 raving about a maid in China a eye model. Deep 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.240 Seek is being called amazing and impressive despite working with 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.839 less advanced chips, which is its own because that was 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:58.560 our big advantage. We got the super fast chips here 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.600 in America. You don't have them. We can make them. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.600 They're gonna get better and better and better. And if 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.760 for whatever reason, the Chinese can do it without the 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.080 super fast chips. Who knows where this goes? 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.920 Yeah, it was Marc Andreesen, the famed Silicon Valley venture capitalists, 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.720 who said, and he's been advising Trump. He has the 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.480 ear of the king, he said, quote deep SEEKR one 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.640 is one of the most amazing and impressive breakthroughs I've 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.240 ever seen, and he's seen some. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.280 Deep Seek's advances sparked to sell off, led by chip 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.960 SHARE's early Monday on concerns over where the US huge 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.160 spending by US tech giants on leading edge semiconductors and 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:37.599 AI infrastructure was even justified. Ew so maybe you didn't 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:44.280 need to do all that. Oh yipes, We'll see where 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.560 this goes. Why, it'd be pretty mortifying if. 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.719 The United States of America had its pants pulled down 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:58.120 in the world of fast moving, low budget entrepreneurialism by 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.160 the communist Chinese. 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.880 That'd be too much to take. It'd be interesting. 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.720 I could take a pair of bicycle repairmen in Ohio 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.599 beating the US government to the design of the first 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:14.360 functioning the airplane powered flight. But man, if it's the 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.520 rush of the communist Chinese. 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:24.480 Oof. Yeah, since in theory it's all about being nimble 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:31.040 and quick and having the best talent and all these 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.040 different things that supposedly we have just such an advantage 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.440 over China. If they were able to do it way 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.039 less money, I don't know. Well, the communist thumb on 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:42.760 them all the time, Yeah, that would be. That would 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:47.400 be troubling. Wonder what we missed. You hate to have 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.480 a communist thumb on you. I wonder what we missed. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.800 Did they just get lucky and have a you know, 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:57.359 their own Steve Jobs it's just super brilliant, or do 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.000 we have our own bureaucracies that have built up over time. 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.040 I'm in some of these tech worlds that are getting 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.120 thick and sludgy. 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.640 If you ask me to compare and contrast the Kansas 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:11.240 City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles offenses, I could do that 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.680 for a minute or two and not sound like an idiot. 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.000 You're asking me how the Chinese pull this off? I 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:18.880 will pass and defer to others. 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.560 All right, But I hope the smart people figure out 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:28.760 what maybe happened there. Yeah, that's disturbing though. You think 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:33.160 they have spies in the tech sector, Well, I guarantee you. 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.600 I mean they've stole the technology. I guarantee you they do. 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:38.840 But so you're like, is it maybe the way the 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.800 Soviets got the nuclear bomb, they had spies at Los Alamos, 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.440 Maybe that maybe they got our stuff and added to 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:45.040 their stuff. 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.040 I could be yeah, that's absolutely possible. In fact, I 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.040 think you can assume that there's an element of that. 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:55.840 But uh, heck, I mean, if our guys are tech gurus, 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:57.480 learned from this all the better. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:04.400 Competition. Competition makes you strong longer. Yeah, yeah, if nothing else, 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.360 it's going to light a fire under their hind ends 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.480 to want to They go, we ain't. We ain't the 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.840 king of the hill quite the way we thought we were. Well. 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:16.960 On the other hand, if communist overlord's design their army 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:21.600 of commi bots to sweep over the landscape and subjugate us, 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.360 now that'll be bad. That won't make us stronger. But 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.360 competition does generally speak. 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.640 And nobody wants to be under the old CT as 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:28.960 we know. 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:36.160 No, certainly not the old communist thumb commy bots. It's 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.480 a nightmarish scenario. You know what's another nightmare scenario and 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.800 much more likely to happen, is somebody break into your 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.160 house and steal your stuff, or threaten your loved ones, 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.200 or just remove that sense of security that you have. 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.280 And that's why I simply save home securities active door 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:51.600 take two, Active guard. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.600 Outdoor protection is so great it stops break ins before 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:59.640 they happen. Sorry, he's reading some good texts about the 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.520 the Chinese AI and stuff like that. I'll bring to 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.079 you in just a second. And of course they're using 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.960 AI with the Simply Safe to get an eye on 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.200 those people that are thinking about breaking in your house 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.320 and then live agency all that. And you'd think this 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.840 would be super expensive, but about a dollar a day, 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.760 sixty day satisfaction guarantee, So there's no risk whatsoever in 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.679 trying simply Safe.

Somebody texted a good point. 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.600 A Chinese AI doesn't have to worry about being woke. 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.440 They're not spending a second thinking about that. 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.960 Oh yeah, true enough, Although they are up for the 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.319 Communist Party's evils. They did some test searches on there 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.720 and you can't get it to say anything mean about 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:07.240 Shijin ting. 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.320 But ours are screwed up in that way too. In 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.000 a way, well, speaking of the evil Chinese Communist Party, 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.040 how about the news that came out over the weekend. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:20.800 CIA says the most likely way COVID came about is 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.520 a leak at the wool Wuhan lab. Now, they do 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:29.439 say their level of certainty is low, but it's the 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.200 most likely thing, which is the same thing the FBI said, 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.800 it's the most likely thing. We can't prove it, but 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.080 it's the most likely thing. What I was wondering, and 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.199 I was thinking, I had a certain person in mind 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.240 when I was thinking about this because I'd had an 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.280 argument with them after the FBI announced this a couple 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.920 of years ago, and they said, yeah, but that doesn't 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.560 prove it. Well, no, I realized that, but it's the 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.120 most likely thing. Yes, but that's not proof that it is. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.200 And I'm My reaction to that crowd and that person 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:03.920 would be what are you using for your guidance? Is 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.960 what's driving your pushback? Is there anything that drives the 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.800 pushback to this theory other than Trump blamed it on 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.040 the Chinese and so you don't want to be on 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:17.600 his side? Is there anything other than that? No? 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.400 No, certainly not among laymen. I mean, if you are 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.160 a microbiologist and you say, I do not find the 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.120 comparison of the spike proteins to natural proteins in bad 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:27.560 Standard to be compelling. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.839 Okay, fine, that's all right. I'll listen to you. I 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.439 think you're wrong, but I'll listen to you. But no, 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.320 if it's just a layman saying no, no, I think 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.280 it was naturally occurring because they've been taught to hate 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.360 everything Trump believes. No, you're a get out of the way, 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.200 you're a cultist. It's got to be especially now that 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.400 the FBI and CIA have come out and said it's 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.960 most likely thing. But the other part of that that 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:49.600 I want to make sure you heard because you might 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.880 not know this if I can find my particular text 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.199 around that. And we're going to get to the stuff 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.640 that came out over the weekend about how schools didn't 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.280 it didn't help anything to have the schools show down 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.200 the way we did, which is really really maddening. The 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.080 uh bla blah blah blah. No clear benefit from shutting 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:09.839 down the schools. Yeah, we're gonna get into that topic 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.360 a little bit later. Give myself two seconds to find this. 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.720 If I can, I'll just summarize it. I don't go ahead. 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:23.960 The CIA analysts supporting lab origin. Thing was completed and 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:29.120 published internally during the Biden administration. That came out during 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.920 the Bid Biden administration. You're only hearing about hearing about 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.400 it now because Trump is in office. It was held 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.240 from the public by the Biden administration in violation by 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.080 the way of the COVID Act, which mandated the release. 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:47.000 They didn't want. So you're so concerned about misinformation, Joe Biden. Oh, 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.480 these these social media platforms and they're not even gonna 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.840 fact check anymore. Jack, and I'm worried about misinformation. How 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:58.880 about the opposite of misinformation, hiding facts, which is its 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:02.000 own kind of lies bi omission, it's its own misinformation. 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.200 What do you think about, bat Well? 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.320 That was a thread that ran through virtually all of 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:10.840 the Biden administration's COVID policies, dishonesty and suppression of any descent, 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.640 even when that descent, the Great Barrington Declaration was one 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.080 hundred percent correct. 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.800 Oh, I'm getting way closer on board to the whole 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.040 Joe Biden is the worst president we've ever had, and 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.480 there's a whole bunch of reasons why around his pardons 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.120 and everything like that. We ought to talk about that, 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.760 among other things on the way stay with us, Armstrong 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:30.400 and Yetti. 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.720 The country's bird flu outbreak is creating egg shortages and 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.600 sending prices soaring. At least thirty six million egg laying 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.480 chickens have been killed in recent months to prevent the 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.240 spread of the virus. There has been no evidence of 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.520 person to person spread, but at least sixty seven people 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.320 have been infected and one person has died. 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:52.920 It spent a great week. I basically hit all my 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.839 campaign promises, except for the one people cared about. Price 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.360 of eggs all time high. Who would have thought it'd 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.520 be easier to get He's firing Gaza. They bring down 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.079 the price of eggs. You might have to take the 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:05.880 yl on that one. 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.960 You know, we're looking into some fabulous alternative egg options, 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.079 such as seagull or perhaps Catbury. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.480 One of the few laughs in the Saturday Night Live 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:24.640 cold Open. In my opinion, you know it's bad for 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.720 the birds. The bird flew, there's no doubt about that. 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.680 And it's certain the price of eggs. But can you 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.680 stop trying to convince me that I'm going to die 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:37.640 of it? We're clearly not anyway. Jack, Every year the 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.600 major industrialized countries of the year administer and I had 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:44.120 no idea of this. A global test of adult know how, 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.840 which measures job readiness and problem solving among workers in 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:49.120 industrialized countries. 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:50.880 What how do they test my know how? 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:51.880 Uh? 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:58.360 They're all sorts of questions that the grill workers between 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.600 the ages of sixteen sixty f five to do all 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.680 sorts of stuff, make inferences from sections of text, manipulate fractions, 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:12.160 apply spatial reasoning, create a complex travel itinerary read a thermometer, 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:21.560 read a thermometer, read a thermometer, and finding information from 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.200 a website, and American workers are falling behind those in 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.160 other rich countries. We have lost more ground after the 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:33.760 pandemic and have gained less of it back reading a thermometer. Anyway, 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.320 I could hit you with the statistics, but they are troubling. 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.280 I don't think you really do gain it back. Based 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:42.040 on my personal experience and talking to teachers, it's just lost. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:43.680 They're just going to be behind. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.720 I think if there were a carefully conceived and energetically 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.720 implemented plan to catch the kids up, I think you 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:53.400 could do it. 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.600 But we lack both of those things. Boy, I don't 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.920 know if that's possible unless you really redid things. Lots 0:15:59.920 --> 0:16:07.080 of public schools barely many don't reach the incredibly easy 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:11.120 proficiency standards that already exist. How are you gonna I mean, 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.640 if you weren't when you were going to school all 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.880 the time, how are you gonna catch people? I don't 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.760 understand how the current structure could do that. 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:21.800 And if you miss the window of a child, say 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.240 seven eight years old, when they their brains are just 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:30.240 astounding sponges, incredibly effective at picking up information processing it learning. 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.440 You know, you cannot get that back. I think the other. 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.800 But that ought to be true more or less uniformly 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:42.080 across the world. Although because of Trump derangement syndrome, our 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:45.160 schools were closed much longer than virtually any other countries. 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:50.000 And it's inexcusable and unforgivable. I also just think, and 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.520 there's no denying this. Our schools have gone from an 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:59.640 almost exclusive emphasis on learning reading, writing and arithmetic and 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:03.280 history and critical thinking to now half a dozen other 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:08.480 goals about learning about equity and gender bending, madness and 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.960 the gender bred person and the rest of it. You know, 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.800 especially in Blue States, the kids are just they're not 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.399 focused on excellence. Here's something else having the obvious and 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.879 inevitable outcome. Here's something I'm surprised I never thought of, 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.840 or don't know. Did other countries do Zoom school? Did 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.600 they do like the United States and pretend that Zoom 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.720 was accomplishing anything, or did they resort to other ways 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.000 to try to teach their kids, Because if Zoom school 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:35.080 didn't exist, you might have been way more likely to 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.000 come up with a way to educate your kid at home. 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:40.080 I don't know, varies country by country obviously, but and 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.480 I mean this quite seriously, it is so troubling and 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:47.119 interesting that this actually happened in my lifetime in ours. 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.560 In other countries, they didn't have Trump derangement syndrome. 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.720 So when they would get data or see what other 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.560 countries experience was, they would say, oh, that's interesting, we 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.439 need to adjust. They wouldn't particularly screeched that it was 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.960 wrong or evil or you were causing people to die 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.880 or be banned from Facebook. They just took the information 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:11.320 and processed it. Trump's J six pardons were bad. Biden's 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:15.760 pardons were so much worse than you know, Statue Armstrong 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:16.359 and getty. 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.960 Senator, do you think that President Biden pardoning his own 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.040 family members set a bad precedent? 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:27.040 Absolutely, he was wrong to give these pardons. And among 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.840 other things, what it says now to the Trump family 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.640 and to President Trump's kids they can engage in any 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:39.560 kind of malfeasan's criminality, craft, whatever, and they can expect 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.239 to pardon on the way out the door. That is 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:43.159 not a message you want to send to this family 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.840 or really any family occupy in the White House. 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.960 That's Senator Adam Schiff, who's so full of crap. I 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.520 don't know how he sees out his eyes. Senator from 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.879 California saying, no, Joe Biden shouldn't have pardoned his family. 0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:01.640 It's horrible, which partially knows you just how much the 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:05.600 Democratic establishment has turned on Joe Biden. At this point, you're. 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.480 Farther down the road of immorality than Adam Schiff and 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.720 he's calling you on it. Wow, pop calling I don't 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:13.640 know what a black hole black. 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:15.960 Yeah, they're not even gonna attempt to cover up for 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.520 but he was horrible, absolutely horrible. Just to make sure 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.520 we get both sides here, here's Lindsey Graham, who couldn't 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:26.320 be a bigger Trump supporter, saying this, but I fear 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:27.960 that you'll get more violence. 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.680 Parting the people who went into the cap and beat 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:34.960 up a police officer violently. I think was a mistake 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:38.400 because it seems to suggest that's an okay thing to do. 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:42.040 That's a bad day last week, the pardning of the 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.919 violent among the January sixth people, and then Joe Biden 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:49.440 pardoning his family preemptively. That's just not a good day 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.240 for the United States of America right there. 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:56.440 No, indeed, and also Biden's pardoning of the nearly fifteen 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:03.080 hundred quote unquote non violent drug offenders pardoning in commutations, 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.760 some of whom are absolute monsters. And that's the problem 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:10.159 with pardoning fifteen hundred people. It's taken quite a while 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.879 for independent journalists to say, Wow, who are all these people? 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:14.840 Is this justified? 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:18.199 And some of them the one guy who he was 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:24.400 pardoned because the charge that they sentenced him to several 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.840 decades in prison for was quote unquote nonviolent. He was 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:32.320 running a drug syndicate. This guy, on multiple occasions broke 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:38.920 into rivals houses or you know, disobedient dealer's houses, and 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:42.440 tortured their loved ones until they told them. 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.440 Where the drugs or the money was. He poured boiling 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:49.879 water on the wives and or girlfriends of various associates 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.360 until they screamed for mercy and revealed where the drugs were. 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:57.760 He tased the genitals of one woman until she revealed 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:00.919 where the money was. The Feds just hardly, because his 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:05.720 victims were so terrified, didn't get convictions on that because. 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:07.240 They could put them away for thirty five years on 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:10.879 running a giant drug syndicate. So they did, and Biden 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.040 turned this guy loose. Can you imagine the horror of 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.000 his victims, the guy's on the streets. 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:20.760 Yeah, the fact that some people are starting to pay 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:25.040 attention to all of these pardons that Joe Biden unleashed 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:29.400 there in the final days and hours. It won't reach 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:34.439 very many people, unfortunately, but just freaking horrible. The whole 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:38.680 people are in jail for a long time for nonviolent 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.159 drug offenses has always been, or at least for a 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:46.679 long long time, ridiculous. If somebody's in for what seems 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:50.640 like a really long charge, look closer at what they 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.800 were doing with their lives before you jump into the 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:56.000 they had a joint, Now they're in jail for ten years. 0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:59.199 That's not what's going on here. But so my question is, 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.240 so all these there's a couple of reasons what you 0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:05.040 just said. People are terrified to some of these violent people, 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.119 so they don't testify him, and then you against him, 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:10.080 and then you got the whole gang culture thing where 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:12.600 people tend not to testify against each other. And then 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:15.000 the Feds decide what do we need there for? We 0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:16.760 can put this guy in jail for thirty years on 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:23.480 the drug charges. So you do that, where where does 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:26.119 Joe Biden and his crowd come up with the we 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.320
