It's a fun fact. Dylan 60 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 4: can share it with us. 61 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 6: Yes, shout out to Doug Bowser, chief operating officer of Nintendo. 62 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: No, yeah, okay, got it?

I mean, like, by the way, 64 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 5: this is a chicken or the egg question too, Like 65 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 5: dider get named after this guy? Or did they just 66 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 5: happen to share the same name. 67 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 4: Of the New York Bowsers. We have so much more 68 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 4: to explore today. We're we're probably not going to get 69 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 4: to all of it, which is part of the remit 70 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 4: of this show. But we are very interested in something 71 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 4: that happened quite recently that you may have heard of. 72 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 4: If you're in the US, but may not have been 73 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 4: fully reported or taking up as much ink as we 74 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 4: believe it should. As we're recording on Wednesday, September third 75 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 4: local time, half a world away, there has been a 76 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 4: victory Day. So what if we pause for a word 77 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 4: from our sponsors and find out more about that after 78 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 4: the break. 79 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 2: And we've returned, Guys, I think the best way to 80 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 2: start this off is to play a teeny tiny snippet 81 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: of the live feed that you can find on YouTube 82 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: of China's twenty twenty five Victory Day military parade, which 83 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 2: marks the eightieth anniversary of the end of World War Two. 84 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 3: And Japanese loss. 85 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: By the way, yes, yes, Japanese lost, And as we 86 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 2: mentioned briefly on another episode, is it's a piece of 87 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,559 Speaker 2: history that not all of us are taught, specifically about 88 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: the conflict between Japan and China and Korea and a 89 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 2: bunch of the other countries there in Asia that was 90 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 2: occurring way before World War Two was officially thought of, 91 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: beginning at least in the Western world, when Germany invaded 92 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: Poland and other you know, the things that were happening 93 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: in Germany were coinciding then with things happening in Italy. 94 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: And things happening in Japan. Again, we learn history that 95 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 2: way because it's easier for us to grasp it, right, 96 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: especially as kids going through school, Like, Okay, I understand this. 97 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: These are good guys, these are bad guys. Is the 98 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 2: thing that happened, And that's how kids learned. I know, 99 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 2: that's how I still learn the best, right when it's simplified, 100 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: when you've got the least common denominator stuff, and then 101 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: you can build details on top of that. Well, all 102 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: of the actual history that was occurring. Well, you know, 103 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: we're talking of what ten years more than ten years 104 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 2: before World War two officially started, And I'm doing that 105 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 2: in quotations according to you know, what you learn in 106 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: history books here in the US, China was evolved in 107 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: this kind of conflict with Japan. This Victory Day celebrates 108 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: the moment that it's over. The war is officially concluded 109 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: on September second. The next day the following day is 110 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: wake up, let's celebrate war is over kind of deal. 111 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: So let's begin by just listening to a little bit 112 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: of that. You'll hear what's happening as the opening ceremonies 113 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: of this Victory Day parade and guys, as we're watching 114 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 2: this because it is video. If you want to watch along. 115 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: I found it on CNA's Channel News Asia on YouTube. 116 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: They've gotten an entire broadcast, the entire live feed essentially 117 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: and over about two hours and nineteen minutes long. And 118 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: we are starting. If you want to fall along at 119 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: the twenty eight minute mark, just look at the scale. 120 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: Love it? 121 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: Okay, So we're gonna pause here. So the reason why 122 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: I'm sharing that, guys, is literally the scale of humans 123 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 2: and the uniformity of those humans and just what that 124 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: says visually. 125 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 5: It really puts that little little Washington, DC military parade 126 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 5: to shame. And I mean just stark contrast. Yeah, there 127 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 5: been there there were some rumors that people were like 128 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 5: in a silent act of protest, not marching in the 129 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 5: best formation. But but boy, boyd is a dwarf our 130 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 5: ability to put on a military parade. 131 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 4: Or the appetite for such right this This immediately reminds 132 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 4: me of the Aarong Mass Games in North Korea. That's 133 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 4: another instance of propagandai'ed display and of course the hearkening 134 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 4: back to Soviet era shows of force. Yes, I love 135 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 4: this stuff because it's the weirdest science fair ever, so objectively, 136 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 4: that's fascinating. Also, we see so much more we were 137 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 4: talking off Mike, We see so much more at play 138 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 4: here than a Dragon Con parade. 139 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 5: Right. 140 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: Oh, as you said, no, another parade in DC. 141 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 2: Well, in this instance, there again, there's as you're saying, 142 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: there's so many striking things, especially when you compare it 143 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 2: to the recent military parade that was held in the 144 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: United States in honor of Donald Trump, the president's birthday, 145 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: which if you imagine a celebration in honor of one 146 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 2: man's birthday versus celebration in honor of victory over a 147 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: World war where there's you know, an oppressor or a 148 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 2: country that's seen as an oppressor and you're and they've 149 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: been around for decades and decades and you finally defeat them. 150 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 2: That's what this celebration is about. You start to compare 151 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 2: the two things in your mind, and you just start 152 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 2: to see the vast chasm between what's on display here 153 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: and then what was on display earlier this year in 154 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: the United States. And you know, as you're saying, the 155 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 2: technology and the science favor of it is fascinating to see. 156 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 2: You know, as we'll get into the missiles and some 157 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: of the other things that were just shown off in 158 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: this parade. But ultimately, for me, it's that propaganda thing 159 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 2: that you mentioned, Ben, that's so strong here. It's so 160 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 2: so strong, the vast number of human beings that you 161 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 2: couldn't see that when we're listening to it here, but 162 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 2: it is. It is hundreds of people wearing the same 163 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 2: exact outfit, same exact hair style, same exact everything. 164 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 5: I mean, just each move decision yes, perfect. 165 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 2: Then you if you go a little bit further in 166 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: the live feed from the parade, you will see like 167 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 2: a single battalion or single group of soldiers marching slowly 168 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: like they're they're marching quickly at first, and then they 169 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 2: slow it down to about half pace, and when you 170 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 2: watch them move, it is it's showing the what would 171 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: you call that, guys, the ability the brutal uniformity of 172 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 2: as a single force. Right like this group of people 173 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: is a singular force. That is, you know, do you 174 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 2: threaten us in any way?

We've talked before on the show about 183 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: shan Yun, which is the kind of anti state China 184 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 2: state government. 185 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 3: Movement in a way establishment. 186 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, the thing that happens, You've seen flyers for it. 187 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 2: We guarantee it, especially I you've ever been through Georgia, 188 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: they're everywhere. 189 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 5: Yes. 190 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 2: But one of the striking things about that show, about 191 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 2: the concept is the uniform uniformity of movement, the uniformity 192 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: of the costumes, and just the fanfare, and and then 193 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 2: the propaganda of it all, because don't forget Sun is 194 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 2: a form of propaganda in a lot of ways. And 195 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 2: what is propaganda about? Hearts and minds, baby, Hearts and minds. 196 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 2: So and it make you feel a certain way, make 197 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: you think a certain way about a thing. 198 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like like that time I broke down weeping during 199 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 4: the Ford like a rock commercial. 200 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that was your feeling for that year. 201 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 3: That was one of the three for sure. 202 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 2: Speaking of rocks, the rock, Mister Johnson has a new 203 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: movie out there. 204 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 5: I cannot wait to see the boss dude, the smashing 205 00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 5: machine and he's pulling a Sandler. Yea, I'm excited. 206 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: But with those optics. Another piece of the optics going 207 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 2: on here are the people on the VIP list who 208 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: were invited and showed up. And so who do we 209 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 2: got on the roster here? 210 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 4: Well, we definitely don't have Western Europe. We definitely don't 211 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 4: have Australia, Japan, or the United States. We do have, 212 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 4: we do have a lot of world leaders from countries 213 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 4: that have historically been considered alternative players in the post 214 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 4: World War two world order right soon and part of 215 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 4: the redundancy in same world twice there. But we're looking 216 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 4: at about as far east as Slovakia, Serbia, Armenia, and 217 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 4: then tons of places in Oceania and in southeastern Asia. 218 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 4: We're also seeing a lot of world leaders from countries that, 219 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 4: to one degree or another are portrayed as hostile or 220 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 4: unfriendly to the existing Western order. Looking at you, Iran. 221 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, Iran was definitely present. 222 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 5: Well, and I mean Trump and some of his truths 223 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 5: or tweets or whatever they're called, uh, certainly did not 224 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 5: seem happy about a lot of this, and the kings 225 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 5: of them of conspiring against the United States during. 226 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: Well, well, he was, he was a little more. He 227 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 3: was unusually diplomatic that. 228 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 5: He did say conspiring against the United States, though he 229 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 5: literally used those words. But you're right, in general, he 230 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 5: kind of was. But then he couldn't help himself and 231 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 5: threw that one in there at the end the sign off. 232 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, but just to point out, there are like leaders 233 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 2: of countries where the United States have has had intense conflict. 234 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 2: We've got the Cuban president there, the Vietnamese president, the 235 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: King of Cambodia was there. The people. You know, countries 236 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 2: are represented there that are indirect opposition or have been 237 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: in direct opposition of the US in the past. 238 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 4: The stands came through. Shout out to you guys, stand 239 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 4: for the stands, right alo. We also saw, to your point, 240 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 4: we saw leaders of countries that just objectively have been 241 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 4: criticized for human rights abuses. Yeah, that's one common denominator here. 242 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 4: We also saw a you got to imagine what the 243 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 4: back rooms are like, but we saw a lot of 244 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 4: coordination between these folks. We saw even unto outfits right 245 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 4: to uniforms. This applied to the world leaders as well, oh. 246 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 5: You're mentioning something about some very interesting symbolism represented in 247 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 5: some of those outfit choices. 248 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, without reading too many tea leaves, Uncle Gee is 249 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 4: usually going to be wearing a Western style suit and 250 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 4: tie at a lot of these affairs, but this time 251 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 4: he's wearing more like a almost it looks almost like 252 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 4: a car heart onesie k outfit. Yeah, and that's typically 253 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 4: or historically that's what the Kim dynasty of dpr K 254 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 4: would be wearing. In this time it's flipped because now 255 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 4: Kim Jong un, the current patriarch of DPRK, is wearing 256 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 4: a Western style suit. So there's always a purpose to 257 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 4: these things, even if it seems small. 258 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: That's a very symbolic, right. And you see the president 259 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: who you know, gives a speech chimping, gives a large 260 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: speech in front of this mass of humans, and then 261 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 2: you see him get into a vehicle and stand basically 262 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 2: in the sun roof of that vehicle or you imagine 263 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: like the limo opening in a vehicle and. 264 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 5: Stand a state we yeah. Well, and you watch. 265 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 2: Him drive or being driven along this huge pathway where 266 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: he is greeting in individual battalions and they're greeting him back, 267 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: and it's just this the collective force of it or 268 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: representative force of it. 269 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 270 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: Again, it's brilliant propaganda. In a way, it makes me 271 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 2: super nervous, but it also makes me guys a little 272 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: jealous because it's it's the it's it's brilliant. It's really 273 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 2: really smart. 274 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, And we can argue a lot of analysts 275 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 4: are going to argue that this comes as necessity even 276 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 4: more like it's a flex, but it's a flex born 277 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 4: of having two flex in that moment. Because the post 278 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 4: World War two is a funny phrase, but you'll hear 279 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 4: it often. The bipolar world order of the Cold War, 280 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 4: defined by the USSR and the USA has eroded heavily. 281 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 4: And for a while the known world was what we 282 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 4: call unipolar, meaning there was one true superpower. His name 283 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 4: was Uncle Sam, and he was very weird about very 284 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 4: specific things. And that order. Given the domestic crises here 285 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 4: in the States, just to be honest, given the fact 286 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 4: that the US is internally fracturing, then this poses an 287 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 4: opportunity for what we will call the brick countries China 288 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 4: in particular, to move forward as an alternative solution to 289 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 4: that old power order. You know what I mean, Bring 290 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 4: me your tired, you're poor, your huddled masses yearning to 291 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 4: escape democracy. 292 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. And it comes as news drops about Russia 293 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 2: sending five hundred drones, you know, in Ukraine as an attack. 294 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 2: It comes as the United States announces that Chicago is 295 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 2: next on the list of places for our own soldiers 296 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 2: to go in and police. And just as all of 297 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 2: these things are happening in conjunction, and when all of those, 298 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 2: all of these are in a new speed right where 299 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 2: you can read them one after the other, you can 300 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 2: see all of this happening at the same time. It 301 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 2: paints a picture, oh very much does of a crumbling 302 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 2: place and a place that is unifying and strengthening. 303 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 4: Right, And the optics do matter? Are the technological capability matters? 304 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 4: These are That's what we call the science fair right, 305 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 4: whenever you see these things. Also the operational capability. That's 306 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 4: why everybody is making sure to step right and in lockstep. 307 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 4: Then we also we also have to note perhaps the 308 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 4: most worrying thing, even more than the technological stuff, The 309 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 4: most worrying thing for Western analysts is going to be 310 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 4: the implication of future collaborations. Right, what does it mean 311 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 4: of the current government of China turns the stands into 312 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 4: vassal states similar to Mongolia? What does that mean for 313 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 4: resource extraction? What does that mean for the reach? Why 314 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 4: are these guys this is what this is what I 315 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 4: think stood out to you, especially don't Why are these 316 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 4: guys hanging out and being so buddy buddy? Why didn't 317 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 4: I get invited to the parade? Says the current president 318 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 4: of the US. 319 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 5: Boy, he was, Yeah, what are they talking about?

Everybody loves hot mic moment. Putin Kim and 378 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 5: She caught plotting to live forever on hot mic.

We've got a 382 00:22:53,520 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 5: daily beast report on this by Lee Kimmins had this 383 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 5: to say. A hot mic caught Russian President Vladimir Putin 384 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 5: talking about immortality with China's Shijin Ping and North Korea's 385 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 5: Kim Jong un at a military parade in Beijing. Through 386 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 5: a series of translators and there, back and forth, we 387 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 5: got a real glimpse into what they were talking about. 388 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 5: Let's see, we've got first coming from Putin. With continuous 389 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 5: advances in biotechnology, he was caught saying human organs will 390 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 5: be increasingly transplanted, letting us live younger and younger and 391 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 5: perhaps can achieve immortality. She then responds to that with 392 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 5: a hearty chuckle, while Kim, looking on, smiles and ads. 393 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 5: In this century, it's anticipated that it may be possible 394 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 5: for people to live to one hundred and fifty years 395 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 5: old not a huge surprise. We know that the elite 396 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 5: at this level of hot on life extension technology. To 397 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 5: what degree that technology exists is you know, not entirely clear. 398 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 5: But the idea of continuously transplanting organs from what younger 399 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 5: younger hosts, Like, where are they getting these organ transplants? 400 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 5: I mean, we know organs are very difficult to get, 401 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 5: even for people that are in dire need of them. 402 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 5: So this notion of the elites and powerful just having 403 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 5: access to like fresh organs at all times something going 404 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 5: on there, y'all. What do you think? 405 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 2: I mean, well, isn't it interesting that this comes on 406 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 2: the heels of the rumor mill talking about about demise? 407 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 5: Yes, of course, this also seems to be very triggering 408 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,719 Speaker 5: for Trump in that respect, since he's been scrutinized, you know, 409 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 5: for signs of mental decline, and he's got these bruises, 410 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 5: and you know, people are always kind of ragging on 411 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,479 Speaker 5: him for his weight and things like that. And then 412 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 5: of course this disappearance from the public eye for a 413 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 5: handful of days, followed by all these rumors of his 414 00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 5: eminent demise, This must have rubbed him pretty wrong. 415 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 2: Guys, How great would it be if all these guys 416 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 2: in their seventies with hard ons for war would just 417 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 2: live forever and just lead us forever? 418 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 6: Matt, I said, some sarcasm in your tone. Well, I mean, yeah, 419 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 6: that's that's the thing, right, Like, how how is there 420 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 6: ever going to be a sea change or any kind 421 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 6: of ideological improvements or evolutions? 422 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 5: If you know, the folks holding on to power with 423 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 5: an iron grasp, just stay alive and indefinitely. I mean, 424 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 5: it sort of seems like rigging the game. It is 425 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 5: rigging the game. 426 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, yuck, Yeah, it's yuck. 427 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 5: Ben, What do you think life extension technology? Is this 428 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 5: the kind of the rich people talk about all the time. 429 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 5: Is this a glimpse into something more sinister and real? 430 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 5: Is this speculative? What are we what are we seeing 431 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 5: when we when we overhear these these candid. 432 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 4: Moments, this level of conversation often rehearsed in advanced to 433 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 4: some degree, there are always going to be multiple meanings 434 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 4: to stuff. That's the tricky thing about diplomacy. Everybody's joking 435 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 4: but not really joking. So the technology is on the way, 436 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 4: it is inevitable, and I want to hold to the 437 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 4: earlier point. We're talking about governments in AI right. Technology 438 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 4: is evolving at a gangbuster's bonkers rate. Society is not. 439 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 4: So we are at a point where civilization is or 440 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 4: governing structures are unequipped. Social structures are unequipped to handle 441 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 4: the new stuff coming out. The idea here is that 442 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 4: we the public were able to catch a glimpse of 443 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 4: a conversation, but that's an iceberg situation. The real conversations, 444 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 4: like the great nine tenths of it, occur under the water, 445 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 4: away from the public, and that's where that's where the 446 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 4: real heft is. You know, I got to identify with 447 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 4: the current president of the US. It stinks not to 448 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 4: get invited to parties. I think we can all understand that. 449 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 4: But there's a reason the US isn't invited. There's a 450 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 4: reason Western Europe, in Japan and Australia aren't invited. 451 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 5: What are some of those reasons? I mean, I think 452 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 5: I understand broadly speaking, but why is it such a 453 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,479 Speaker 5: line in the sands. 454 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 4: It's a line in the sand because the Anglo sphere 455 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 4: and plus Japan and plus a couple of South American 456 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 4: countries are considered the big boys of that old world 457 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 4: order with which China and Russia were, for their own reasons, 458 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 4: never satisfied. So the idea here is that having a 459 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 4: party without you guys, means that we're making our own 460 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 4: thing right. And this is a message that has been 461 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 4: signaled through bilateral agreements and resource extraction from decades ago. 462 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 4: Check out our episode on China and the trade empire 463 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 4: that it built on the African continent. Think about the 464 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 4: Silk Road two point zero. It hasn't really become what 465 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 4: they wanted it to be just yet, but there is 466 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 4: inescapably a fluidity to the world order that people once 467 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 4: thought was geopolitically sacrosanct got it. 468 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 2: Isn't it interesting that the US played such a critical 469 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 2: role in ending World War Two, specifically in the Pacific Front, 470 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 2: with what they did at Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and you know, 471 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 2: specifically all of the battles that occurred between US Navy 472 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 2: and Japanese forces during World War Two, only to have 473 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 2: the US in Japan become such close economic allies, you know, 474 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 2: over the course of all these years, and then to 475 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 2: have those two countries be so it viewed in such 476 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 2: an oppositional force because they are that old guard now somehow. 477 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 5: Well worth mentioning. I think the content of Trump's response 478 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 5: on truth Social where he references some of these things, 479 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 5: the big question specifically as to whether or not President 480 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 5: She of China this is quoting him, will mention the 481 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 5: massive amount of support and blood that the United States 482 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 5: of America gave to China in order to help it 483 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 5: secure its all caps freedom from a very unfriendly foreign invader. 484 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 5: Many Americans died in China's quest for victory and glory. 485 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 5: I hope that they are rightfully honored and remembered for 486 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 5: their bravery and sacrifice. Please give my warmest regards to 487 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 5: Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un as you conspire her 488 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 5: against the United States of America, who thank you for 489 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 5: your attention to this matter. Yeah yeah, Oh, did he 490 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 5: put that he's been he's been rocking that one lately. 491 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 4: Did I tell you guys a while back, I accidentally, 492 00:29:54,880 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 4: my girlfriend I accidentally went to a Trump themed hamburger 493 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 4: restaurant in Japan. 494 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was so. It was so. 495 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 4: It was called Munchies Munches. Excuse me, respect on the name. 496 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 4: But the the issues here, especially what you're describing Matt 497 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 4: regarding history, we have to exercise empathy, right and understand 498 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 4: the other perspective, Like, they're not seeing themselves as the 499 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 4: bad guys. They're seeing themselves as a new beacon of 500 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 4: forward progress. And where now we can throw out the 501 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 4: rules of all those other regimes that have been crappy 502 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 4: to us in the past, and the West has been 503 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 4: pretty crappy to China historically in the in the modern 504 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 4: era for sure. Opium War one, Opium War two, Opium 505 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 4: War three, humble farmer, rebel moon. 506 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 5: Well, maybe this is kind of pat but like I 507 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 5: heard somebody make this point recently and it resonated with me. 508 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 5: But I think the best way to exercise empathy, even 509 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 5: if this is a thought experiment, is to realize that 510 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 5: nobody thinks they're the villain. Like everybody in some respect, 511 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 5: there's some aspect of what they're doing that they believe 512 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 5: is the right thing to do. 513 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's I mean, it's a it's an old 514 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 4: idea that needs to be constantly brought up, you know. 515 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 4: Even that's why all the good villains in fiction, with 516 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 4: rare exception, don't think of themselves as a village, and. 517 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 5: They have complexity, they're they're trying to achieve something. 518 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 3: It's not. 519 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 5: It's just having pure evil personified is not particularly interesting. 520 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 4: No, yeah, it's it's got no depth. Like your entire 521 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 4: thing is that you're a humble farmer, or that you're 522 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 4: just mad at the universe. 523 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 5: That's weird, Ben, I'm an evil, humble farmer, ah ray 524 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 5: I only I only farm evil root to Vegas. 525 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 3: Thank you for your service. 526 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, you'll get yours evil rudas well. Yes, please. And 527 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 5: just to put a cap on this when Putin did 528 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 5: later confirm that he and she had discussed this subject 529 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 5: on Wednesday, saying to Russian television, I believe note reporters 530 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 5: in Beijing modern means of health improvement, he said, medical means, 531 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 5: even surgical ones related to organ replacement. They allow humanity 532 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 5: to hope that active life will continue differently than it 533 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 5: does today. An interesting walk back to sort of make 534 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 5: it more about the people, right as opposed to just 535 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 5: like a bunch of mega mega you know, powerful wealthy 536 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 5: individuals talking about it just for us. Didn't seem like 537 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 5: that was the context initially, but you know, points for 538 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 5: diplomacy there. I guess this Sworder's piece ends with China's 539 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 5: Ministry of Foreign Affairs and CCTV did not immediately respond 540 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 5: to requests for comment, So we're gonna move on really 541 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 5: quickly from that one, just to a quick mention, bring 542 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 5: back our boy, Luigi MANGIONI, free Luigi whatever. Depending on 543 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 5: where he staying on the issue, I am coming down 544 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 5: on either side of that one. I do think it's 545 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 5: we talked about it ad nauseum, but it is an 546 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 5: interesting moment in the public perception and the public outcry 547 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 5: against rapacious healthcare executives and insurance CEOs and all of 548 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 5: that stuff. I don't think anybody should be summarily executed 549 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 5: in the streets, but I do love a good fire 550 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 5: brand that kind of kicks off sort of a sea 551 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 5: change in discussion, at least within the public discourse. But 552 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 5: this isn't really about that. This is more about like 553 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 5: what a smoke show Luigi is and how I guess 554 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 5: the algorithms are just eating him up because his likeness 555 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 5: apparently appeared modeling a shirt in a fast fashion ad 556 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 5: campaign by a company called Shine, which I'm not familiar with. 557 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 5: BBC reports by Graham Fraser. Fast fashion giant Shine has 558 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 5: launched an investigation after an image of Luigi Mangioni, accused 559 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 5: of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson New York last year, 560 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 5: was used to model a shirt. An image with his likeness, 561 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 5: which appeared to show him wearing a white short sleeve shirt, 562 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 5: appeared on the Fast Fashion website until its removal. You 563 00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:59,959 Speaker 5: could buy that shirt. You too could have that sh 564 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 5: for just seven pound fifty or around ten American dollars. 565 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 5: Spokesperson from Shine told BBC News the image in question 566 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 5: was provided by a third party vendor and was removed 567 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 5: immediately upon discovery. We have stringent standards for all listings 568 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 5: on our platforms. 569 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 3: It would seem not. 570 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 5: We are conducting a thorough investigation, strengthening our monitoring process 571 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 5: and we will take appropriate action. Then, of course, the 572 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 5: conversation revolves around who this third party was and was 573 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 5: this an AI generated image. It would appear the answer 574 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 5: is clearly yes. Henry Adger, a generative AI expert who 575 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 5: was spoken to by the BBC, said the image is 576 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 5: low resolution, but there are a few signs that it 577 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 5: might be AI generated or manipulated. This includes the lighting 578 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 5: and texture of the image, particularly of the skin, as 579 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 5: well as the appearance of blob like artifacts above the 580 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 5: right forearm the hand. The right hand rather also doesn't 581 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 5: appear to show typical segmentation of the fingers. This, of course, 582 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:59,399 Speaker 5: is interesting surrounding the kind of you know, rampant fandom 583 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 5: of Louis who pleaded not guilty to all the federal 584 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 5: charges over the shooting of mister Thompson. He's a twenty 585 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 5: six year old young man, very attractive. A lot of 586 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 5: talk that he might be played by uh oh, who's 587 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 5: that guy in that movie together, that new body horror 588 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 5: movie Franco. Dave Franco looks just psycho. A lot of 589 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 5: talk about Dave Franco playing him in a movie just 590 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 5: another and a long line of ai whoopsies that we're 591 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 5: just gonna keep seeing. You guys have any thoughts about this? 592 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 5: When I thought it was worth mentioning it. It's nothing 593 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 5: super deep going on. It's pretty clear what happens. 594 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 2: Don't you think that's a crazy move by somebody, somebody 595 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 2: types Luigi Mangioni when they generated that image. 596 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 5: It doesn't just happen by mistake. 597 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, they were high off that cracker barrel. 598 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 5: Let me just I would okay, I just I said that, 599 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,720 Speaker 5: but I was actually implying earlier that like this idea 600 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 5: of the algorithm being partial to this guy's face, Like, 601 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 5: what if we know that these AI algorithms are just 602 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 5: diving and data scraping, and if you might just maybe 603 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 5: they just typed in good looking young man in a 604 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 5: shirt and because of the prevalence and popularity around Luigi's 605 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 5: you know, million dollar smile, maybe that's what came out 606 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 5: and nobody thought better of it. I think that's entirely possible. 607 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 2: I'm not discounting that, but it's pretty specific. 608 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 5: It's much more likely, though, that some jokester or fan 609 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 5: decided to slip this through. That's all I got, y'all. 610 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 5: Why don't we take a quick break here, a word 611 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 5: from our sponsor, and then we'll come back with one 612 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 5: more segment of some strange news stories for you. 613 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 4: And we have returned with the last act of our 614 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 4: weekly Strange Through segment.

I 666 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 4: think most people were unsurprised by the idea of the tech, 667 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 4: but they were surprised by the level of development it 668 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 4: has reached. Matt, you mentioned the ICBMs, you mentioned the 669 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,240 Speaker 4: anti ship missiles. We got to talk about the laser 670 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 4: stuff a little bit, and we've got to talk about 671 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 4: this tank. 672 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 3: It'es smartest tank. 673 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, the tank was at least highly impressive what I've 674 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 2: read about it, But to my mind, it was the 675 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,720 Speaker 2: optics of those giant ICBM missiles that they put on trucks, 676 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 2: you know. Oh yeah, but so you know, we just 677 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 2: got flatbeds with giant missiles with multiple nuclear warhead capabilities. 678 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 2: It's fine. 679 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 4: And by the way, we could put these on things 680 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 4: that are not this truck. 681 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I mean. 682 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 3: That's a little wink in a nod. How's your uncle? 683 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 3: But the. 684 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 4: Other stuff, and about this tank, it's it's just I 685 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 4: feel like we scooped ourselves because we were talking about 686 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 4: just this sort of stuff right before the Victory Day parade, 687 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 4: and I believe we even mentioned it somewhere in the 688 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 4: course of our exploration. Ah, everybody's working on this kind 689 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 4: of stuff and it's getting to the point where honestly, 690 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 4: the vague high fluting terms start to feel just cartoonishly. 691 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 3: Not genuine or insincere. 692 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 4: Well, you know, purposely, they the tank's highly intelligent, it 693 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,440 Speaker 4: performs coordinated combat. We can't tell you what that means. 694 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 2: Come on, well, yeah, and you look at the images 695 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 2: of these I don't know what type of vehicle you 696 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 2: would call these things. They're like transport vehicles. They're just huge, right, 697 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 2: And then on the top of the nukes, well no 698 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 2: for the for the laser tech where you've got you know, 699 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 2: they're fully camoed out huge vehicles. And then there's this 700 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 2: weird looking white turret kind of thing that has a 701 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 2: huge lens on the front of it. It looks like 702 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 2: prototypes maybe and they're specific or maybe they're just specifically 703 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 2: white to highlight them literally, and you're watching the parade, 704 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 2: but it just it it almost doesn't look real. It 705 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 2: looks like Star Wars stuff. You know, it looks like 706 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 2: props in a movie. 707 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 3: It sure does. 708 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, especially because it's got that blue that really pops 709 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,840 Speaker 4: for the big lands. It looks so sci fi. It 710 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 4: looks like it blowings in space. It's called the l 711 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 4: Y one l Y dash one. Everybody is saying, low key, 712 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 4: it's definitely a laser weapon. 713 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 3: And to your point, met. 714 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 4: The transports that are carrying this, they look a little 715 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 4: similar to like the S three hundred anti missile system 716 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 4: that Russia created, and a lot of the blueprints or 717 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 4: the DNA for Chinese developed stuff now is descended from 718 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 4: old Soviet designs, including what is supposed to be the 719 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 4: world's smartest tank. 720 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 3: I don't know. 721 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 4: The word on the street is that the l Y one, 722 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 4: this super duper laser system, is going to be on 723 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 4: aircraft carriers, which is interesting because the previous strategy was 724 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 4: asymmetric warfare. 725 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 3: Right, Why are we going to. 726 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 4: Boondoggle ourselves spending billions of billions on some big booty 727 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 4: boats when we could just build some big booty missiles 728 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 4: to destroy those boats. 729 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 3: Big booty is the term they use. 730 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 2: It's a fishing yeah, very common, very common. 731 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 3: War college, yeah, for sure. 732 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 2: But the other stuff is the future warfare unmanned things. Right, 733 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 2: so you got unmanned aircraft on their unmanned submarines like 734 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 2: drone submarines. Uh, and then those ICBMs that you can 735 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 2: launch from submarines just like the US can and you know, 736 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 2: and you put it all together in it it does 737 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 2: become a pretty effective show of force. 738 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, and it also shows a net. This is part 739 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:58,799 Speaker 4: of a multi functional gadget operationally, right, like, oh, check 740 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 4: out our sickles. Also like what you put in them, 741 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,799 Speaker 4: and you go, here's the thing. We can put a 742 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 4: lot of stuff in them. Man, we could launch them 743 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 4: from a lot of places. This is kind of like 744 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 4: if you if you run into your uncle who just 745 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,399 Speaker 4: got a ton of fireworks, and it's like, oh man, 746 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 4: look at this. Okay, don't know, seriously, that was the sparkler. 747 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 4: You want to see the big one, dude. 748 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 2: I remember watching those videos about the nuclear capable missiles 749 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 2: and warheads that you know are in the arsenals of 750 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 2: various countries, and the dunk Fang was one of them. 751 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 2: But the dun Fang five or DF five C is 752 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,479 Speaker 2: a brand new thing. It's just a potentially even more 753 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 2: deadly world killing machine. 754 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 4: And at the same time, we're showcasing defense against those missiles, 755 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 4: which is very interesting. 756 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 3: Right. 757 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 4: You're showing the carrot and the stick and you're dangling 758 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 4: them both and you're saying you're doing it in time 759 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 4: to that of me. The propagandistic soundtrack. I'm a sucker 760 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 4: for those soundtracks. 761 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:04,360 Speaker 5: You guys. 762 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:06,760 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we've. 763 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 4: Got like a choir of one hundred plus people talking 764 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 4: about the glory of the nation. 765 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 3: Dude. 766 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,800 Speaker 5: I mean just that clip that that played at the beginning, 767 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 5: was it made my hairs stand on end? 768 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 3: For sure? 769 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 2: Do you want to you want to see one more 770 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 2: clip just of the marching so you can really understand 771 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:31,319 Speaker 2: just for one second.

That's the 776 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 2: actual sound of them being fired right now. 777 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 3: Notice the precision of your crew as well, every. 778 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 5: Bit of it. 779 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,720 Speaker 2: All Right, Well, we gotta stop this, Okay, that's. 780 00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 5: What people are saying. 781 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 3: We're going to stop this. 782 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 4: We don't, but we're not the folks who get to 783 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:05,839 Speaker 4: make those decisions. 784 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 5: Uh. 785 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 4: There is a story that we that we should end with, 786 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 4: just because it's not being reported as efficiently or honestly 787 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 4: as it should. There is a outfit you could call it, 788 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 4: that's part of the US government. It does a lot 789 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,440 Speaker 4: of crazy work and flies under the radar pretty often 790 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 4: and is being taken apart. Before we get to the details, 791 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 4: we've all heard of the Foreign Malign Influence Center, right, Nope. 792 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 5: Foreign CEM No, I don't. 793 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 4: Does maybe go on tell us more so, our friends 794 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 4: at FEMIC are part of a recent, relatively recent thing 795 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,720 Speaker 4: that was created back in i want to say, twenty 796 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 4: twenty two, first proposed in twenty nineteen, and the idea 797 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,759 Speaker 4: as it's being pitched is that this is an organization 798 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 4: that will integrate intelligence in propaganda wars from foreign forces. 799 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 4: So you've got your Alexander Dugan over in Russia writing 800 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 4: foundations of geopolitics. You know, you got some other countries 801 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 4: version of whatever their project twenty twenty five is. Our 802 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:32,319 Speaker 4: buddies at the Foreign Malign Influence Center have for just 803 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,799 Speaker 4: a few years done a lot of work to try 804 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:41,800 Speaker 4: to counter those info war initiatives, while also, of course, 805 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 4: you know, helping with our own version of it abroad. 806 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 5: Yep. 807 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 2: But it's just going to get absorbed into other parts 808 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 2: of the government. 809 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:56,959 Speaker 4: Now, that's the arguments, that's the idea. So this under 810 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,720 Speaker 4: the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. We're throwing 811 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 4: a lot of initialisms at you. Odney and Odney is 812 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:09,360 Speaker 4: currently run by the National Intelligence Director Tulci Gabbard. You 813 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:15,359 Speaker 4: probably recognize her from see earlier from c SPAN from 814 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 4: SNL sketches per the director. Quite recently, on August twentieth, 815 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 4: twenty five, Gabbard said, we're going to take this thing 816 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:31,919 Speaker 4: that's supposed to stop foreign info wars, and we're going 817 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 4: to dissolve it because we are downsizing the entire national 818 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 4: intelligence thing. 819 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:44,360 Speaker 3: We're dumbing it down. Great, tight, great, ten no notes. 820 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,280 Speaker 2: It seems like a good move to me, especially considering 821 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 2: the clip we just want. 822 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's always saving this one. 823 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 4: Here the ideas as as you point out, Matt, if 824 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,240 Speaker 4: we go to a great source just Security by David Salvo, 825 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,959 Speaker 4: which was public August twenty eighth, twenty twenty five, we'll 826 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 4: see that Gabbert is saying this will be absorbed into 827 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 4: other parts of the intelligence apparatus. But this means the 828 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 4: United States is dismantling the last federal government body that 829 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 4: was dedicated to stopping election interference, to stopping the creation 830 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:30,320 Speaker 4: of false culture wars, or to stop you know, spoopy 831 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 4: doopy spyboy stuff. 832 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:37,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we we've become so xenophobic and in 833 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 2: inside focused.

That's really bold of you. Do 847 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 4: you want to treat it like a project? I can 848 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:04,800 Speaker 4: come up with some steps? 849 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 2: What if that's all? Is? Is this entire thing? There's 850 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 2: been an ongoing chat GBT discussion about how to make 851 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,279 Speaker 2: America great again? Well how do we do it well? 852 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 2: And it's just a list of ideas and it's like, 853 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 2: that's perfect. 854 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 4: And it was this model was fed entirely on foundations 855 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:29,400 Speaker 4: of geopolitans, which is the you know, the the Russian 856 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 4: boy Scout Manual for overthrowing the world order. So and 857 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:38,600 Speaker 4: it's working pretty well actually, But the idea then becomes like, okay, 858 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 4: an analogy, right, Let's imagine the five of us, you specifically, you. 859 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,799 Speaker 3: Were riding with us. We're in a road trip, right, 860 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:47,040 Speaker 3: and it's late. 861 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 4: At night and it's a moonless night and we're deep 862 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:54,240 Speaker 4: in the woods, and then dismantling. This is as if 863 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,360 Speaker 4: we all turned each other in the vehicle and said, 864 00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 4: you know, it'd be dope if we also turn off 865 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:00,880 Speaker 4: the headline. 866 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, take your seatbelts off, no lights, no music, put 867 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 2: a brick. 868 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 3: On the gas. 869 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:13,879 Speaker 4: You know what I mean, And that everybody texts while 870 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 4: we're trying to steer this is I know, this kind 871 00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 4: of stuff can be boring, and the news ends up 872 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:24,359 Speaker 4: being boring by design. Right, you and the US as 873 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,359 Speaker 4: a member of the public, you must consider that there 874 00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 4: are certain stories the power structure does not want you 875 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,520 Speaker 4: to think about too deeply, and election interference is one 876 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,920 Speaker 4: of those ideas. Right for an election interference is easier 877 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:44,759 Speaker 4: now than it was at any point since the late 878 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 4: seventeen hundreds, which is a hell of a claim but 879 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,919 Speaker 4: also very true. We also want to point out this 880 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 4: might be a little more pop culture. I hope our 881 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,400 Speaker 4: friends at Daily's Eye guys talk about it.
