Should just play the clip. 47 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: Elena Hershey is her name. She's making the point and 48 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 3: I've never hear anybody say this before about how she 49 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 3: has no respect for pro bowlers because she, like most people, 50 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 3: goes bowling like once a year, and even then, being 51 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 3: no good at it. Going once a year, not paying attention, 52 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: she usually rolls a strike at some point, which is 53 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: the best thing you can do in bowling. Right, There's 54 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 3: no other sport where like, once a year you can 55 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 3: go out and accidentally, half drunk, not paying attention, do 56 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 3: the best thing you can do in that sport. You 57 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: don't once a year go to an ice skating rink, 58 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 3: because she said, and land a triple a. 59 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: Right, just randomly. 60 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: Have a beer, step into the batting cage and just 61 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: rip one hundred mile per hour fastball in the left center. Yeah, 62 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: that's not happening. No other sports like that, you know. Uh, 63 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: you know, I thought that was pretty funny. Back to reality. 64 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: So h. 65 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: This is from the Wall Street Journal today. Somehow I 66 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: missed this truth social from early in the week Donald 67 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: Trump just a couple of weeks ago. The guy that 68 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 3: runs in video that always wears the cool tom Ford 69 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: leather jacket, the most valuable company in the world. 70 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: I think. 71 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 3: He told Donald Trump that this patchwork of AI laws 72 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: across the country. Every you know, fifty states with a 73 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 3: gazillion different kind of laws is really going to slow 74 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: down our ability to maximize AI and stay ahead of China. 75 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: And that got Trump's attention a pairarent And it's a 76 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 3: decent argument. 77 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: I mean, it's beyond a decent argument. It makes perfectly 78 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: good sense. Yeah, that the. 79 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 3: US needs to avoid a collection of disparate state rules 80 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: for AI, setting off a month long frenzy that is 81 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: expected to culminate this week in the signing of an 82 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: executive order. 83 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: That will fix that somehow. 84 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: Trump truthed out, you can't expect a company to get 85 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 3: fifty approvals every time they want to do anything, Trump 86 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 3: posted Monday. 87 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: That will never work. 88 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 3: And he's expected to sign some executive order and I 89 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: don't know how they're gonna word it. 90 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 2: In such a way that that can't happen anymore. 91 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: But it's really going to unshackle these AI companies and 92 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: let him scream forward with whatever it is they're trying 93 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: to do, for. 94 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: Better or worse. 95 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm extremely skeptical about how successful an executive order 96 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: would be in preempting state laws. 97 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: Some general Hey, don't mess with AI. It sounds so. 98 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 3: That's funny Governor Ron DeSantis has said an executive order 99 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 3: doesn't can't preempt state legislative action. 100 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: Me and Ron high five, Ron. 101 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 3: Yeah. Others in the Republican Party seem open to supporting 102 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: Trump's approach, despite their opposition to a moratorium on state 103 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 3: AI laws. A spokesman for Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabe Sanders, 104 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: who's pretty darn Trumpey, who like DeSantis, has criticized state preemption, 105 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 3: said she backs Trump's AI strategy and looks forward to 106 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 3: working with him to win the AI rice while protecting Americans, 107 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 3: which is a nice phrase that doesn't get anywhere near 108 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 3: a solution for the problem. 109 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 110 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: I can see her chief staff saying, Governor Trump's made 111 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: an announcement, do you want to go with the standard 112 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: I'm with him gung ho statement because it doesn't matter. 113 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: And she said, yeah, that's perfect. Well, so what do 114 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 3: you think it's going to happen? I mean, it is true. 115 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 3: How in the world are we going to not get 116 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 3: surpassed by China if you have to deal with fifty 117 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 3: different states rules for everything you try to do? 118 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: Right? Yeah, I should have made my sentiments more clear. 119 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: They are as follows. He's right, He's absolutely right. It's true. 120 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: But the executive order won't accomplish much other than saying, hey, 121 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: let's look at it this way. 122 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: It's like one of his truths. 123 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: Could Congress pass a law, then, yeah, they could pass 124 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: a federal law, but I think the chances of that 125 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: happened in about zero. There are too many smart people 126 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: in Congress who would realize any law we passed today 127 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: would be outdated tomorrow. 128 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: We're wasting our time. 129 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: Republicans have been promoting the preempting of state AI rules 130 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: for years. The idea gained momentum in the last year 131 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: and a half when Democratic states such as Colorado, here 132 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: in California, and New York signed laws imposing. 133 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 2: Guardrails on tech companies. 134 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 3: And of course, these guardrails are being put in place 135 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: by people who have no idea what they're talking about, 136 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 3: because nobody really does, or they're just responding to people's 137 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,799 Speaker 3: concerns about in a way that won't do any good, 138 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 3: but they can portray themselves as hey, we're trying, we're 139 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: protecting you and your families. 140 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 141 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: An executive order is a clear signal of the administration's 142 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 3: robust commitment to a federal AI governance framework. 143 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: The question now is what that framework will be. 144 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: Well, I would say we better do it flipping fast, 145 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: like by next week. 146 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. 147 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: Oh. Speaking of tech stuff, I came across this the 148 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: other day. I thought it was super interesting. Now the 149 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: source is way Mo. 150 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: My only finally final comment I would throw in on 151 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: what we were just talking about, is China aint worried 152 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: about this at all? 153 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: No, at all, no, no, could not give a crap. 154 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: So we're going to try to break on time. I'll 155 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: squeeze this in very very quickly. Speaking of artificial intelligence 156 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: and that sort of thing, self driving cars are clearly 157 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: the future, according to Waymo, which is imperfect, absolutely funny. 158 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: Videos surface virtually every day of three way mo's looking 159 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: at each other. 160 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 2: At an intersection for an hour and a half. 161 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: But crashes in intersections come compaired to human drivers over 162 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: an equal number of miles driven, Crashes in intersections ninety 163 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: six percent lower, crashes with pedestrians ninety two percent lower, 164 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: crashes with cyclists or motorcyclists eighty three percent lower. Anybody 165 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: who rides a bike a motorcycle can tell you, because 166 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: we you all know if people are looking for cars, 167 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: they don't see motorcycles. Nobody can exactly explain it, but 168 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: people will turn left right in front of a motorcycle 169 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: that's got a blazing headlight and it's coming at them anyway, 170 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: lateral crashes. It's merely a seventy three percent decrease. And 171 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: as one writer commented after these statistics, challenge you to 172 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: go for a walk around in any American city. See 173 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: what the drivers are doing while they drive texting. They're 174 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: all texting. It's no longer texting while driving. People are 175 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: driving while texting. 176 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: Thee Armstrong and Getty Show, Mordia on Your Show, podcasts, 177 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 2: and our hot links. 178 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 3: France's government collapsed in a spectacular fashion yesterday after mccrone's 179 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: hand picked leader tried to reign in public debt. McCrone 180 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 3: understands that they're on a course of disaster, and he 181 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 3: has been choosing people to be in his government that 182 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: agree with him, and uh, not enough voters agree. I guess, 183 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 3: so France's government. I'm reading for the New York Post 184 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 3: some of it and from other publications. France's government was 185 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 3: toppled in a vote of no confidence yesterday, forcing Emmanuel 186 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 3: Macron to search for his fourth prime minister in the 187 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 3: last year and throwing EU's second largest economy into chaos. 188 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 3: The premiere was ousted overwhelmingly huge vote three sixty four 189 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 3: to one to ninety four, not even close against him 190 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: losing an apparent gamble the lawmakers would back his push 191 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 3: for France to slash public spending to repay its debts. 192 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 3: That's the crazy idea that he had. Let's cut our 193 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 3: spending so we can pay down our debts. And he 194 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 3: got overwhelmingly trounced. He was voted out, ending his short 195 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 3: lived minority government after being appointed by Macron just in December. 196 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, left wing and right wing joined together and said, yeah, 197 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: let's toss out the moderates and we'll fight for the scraps. 198 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: The former president now admitted Monday that his last speech 199 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: as prime minister was a gamble to tackle France's debt 200 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 3: crisis by standing by his unpopular economic plan, and it 201 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 3: didn't pay off. At the end of the first quarter 202 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty five, Francis public debt started three point 203 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 3: nine three trillion, hilarious number by US standards. Obviously about 204 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 3: four trillion dollars, but that's one hundred and fourteen percent 205 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 3: of gross domestic product. When you go over one hundred percent, 206 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 3: that's supposed to be like serious doomsday spiral. By the way, 207 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 3: just in case you were wondering, the US debt to 208 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 3: GDP ratio is one hundred and nineteen percent. France is 209 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 3: doing better than US at this point. 210 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: Wow wow wow. 211 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 3: The former president hoped to cut debt. Included a bid 212 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 3: to push a fifty one billion dollars savings plan that 213 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 3: called for scrapping two public holidays. They have a public 214 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 3: holiday a week practically in France. He wanted to get 215 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 3: rid of two of them. 216 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 2: No, you can't do it. 217 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 3: And freezing government spending at its current level, not cutting 218 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 3: like this is what happened with the Tea Party. You're 219 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 3: not even trying to cut, You're just trying to cut 220 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 3: the rate of growth, and you get killed for it. 221 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: They're doomed, they are, and so are we. True. 222 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: The greatest risk was not to take a chance, he said, 223 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 3: to let things go on without changing anything, to go 224 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 3: on doing politics as usual. He said in his final speech, 225 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 3: the nation is facing a silent, underground, invisible and unbearable 226 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 3: hemorrhage of excessive public borrowing. Submission to debt is like 227 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 3: submission through military force, dominated by weapons, dominated by our creditors, 228 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 3: because of a debt that is submerging us. In both cases, 229 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 3: we lose our freedom. That's what got voted against. 230 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 2: And the unions and the leftists said no, we want 231 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: to keep getting stuff. And here's my favorite thing, he 232 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: said in his final speech. 233 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 3: You have the power to overthrow my government, but you 234 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 3: do not have the power. 235 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 2: To erase reality. Wow. 236 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: That is some good ass right there. Wow, reality remains inexorable. 237 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,119 Speaker 3: Spending will continue to increase, and the debt burden, already unbearable, 238 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 3: will grow heavier and more costly. Good lord, how are 239 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 3: there so few grown ups in Western civilization willing to 240 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 3: stand up and say this? Well, they do, and you 241 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: get voted out immediately by by the left and the right. Yeah. 242 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: I was thinking about you know, the US obviously reading 243 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: about France, and we're just a couple of generations. I 244 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: guess away from politicians who would not vote for unsustainable debt, 245 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: they would consider that a horrible betrayal of the trust 246 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: placed in them. They would consider it personally immoral and 247 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: and and a crime against. 248 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 2: The kids and then the grandkids. You just you could 249 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 2: not get somebody to vote for what everybody votes for now, 250 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: and I find myself wondering whether a democracy with our 251 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: current you know, a moral view of overspending, can save itself. 252 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 3: By the way, just back to France briefly, that the 253 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 3: decision to boot boot him out created means there's no 254 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 3: dominant political block for the first time in France's modern 255 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 3: political history. I don't quite understand those systems, but they 256 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 3: are in a lot of turmoil over there. 257 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 2: But back to you've got. 258 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: To cobble together a multi party coalition that you can't 259 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: get anything done. 260 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 3: But back to his quote that I love so much. 261 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 3: You had the power to overthrow the government, you do 262 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 3: not have the power to erase reality. God dang it, 263 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 3: that's the whole reality. Bats last. 264 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 2: You can. 265 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 3: Ignore the growing debt and how it's unsustainable and all 266 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 3: these programs are going to go broke for a while, 267 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: but the pain only gets worse. The pain that you will, 268 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 3: not may will suffer at some point is only going 269 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 3: to be worse the longer you wait. 270 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 271 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, there's a new report out in France about their 272 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: educational system and how it's just failing miserably. 273 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 2: Sound familiar. 274 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: And for the first time now experts, educators. There's a 275 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: book out that's made a huge wave in France. It said, look, 276 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: we've had rampant immigration, just unfettered immigration, and now one 277 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: in five grade five actually students speak a language other 278 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: than French at home, and forty one percent of under 279 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: fours are immigrants or immigrants children's and they're transforming the schools. 280 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 2: That number on speaking French at home is astounding. 281 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, more than one in five year five pupils speak 282 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: a language other than French at home. And much like 283 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: in Britain, we've been discussing this and Germany, and Germany's 284 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: a little behind Britain, but they're heading in the same 285 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: direction in France too, where it was just agreed upon. 286 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: It was literally agreed upon. I think it was in Germany. 287 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: I've got that around here somewhere by all of the 288 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: major parties that we won't blame this on immigration, all right, 289 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: you don't bring it up, and we won't bring it up. 290 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: And they made a behind the scenes agreement. But now 291 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: the people in Britain and France and Germany, you're like, yeah, 292 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: we are talking about it. 293 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: We're going to talk about it. 294 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: Loudly and things are nutty in Europe right now, politically speaking, 295 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: where it goes nobody knows. 296 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: I mean, you combine. 297 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: Popular disgust with being betrayed by the elites, the immigration 298 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: thing especially, and the Islamization of European countries. They've allowed, 299 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, enormous numbers of people who despise their very 300 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: principles in their way of life. Anyway, you combine that 301 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: with the populist Once I get a benefit, I will 302 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: never accept you scaling anything back. 303 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 2: Where does that go? 304 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 3: Why is there such a small number of us who 305 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 3: are willing to accept the pain that has to happen 306 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: Right now? I realize my taxes are going to go up, 307 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 3: and I hate my taxes going up, and I'm not 308 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 3: on many government services, so I wouldn't notice those being cut. 309 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: But it's got to happen, So bring it on, like tomorrow. 310 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 2: Let's do it tomorrow. Yeah. 311 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: Well, because those who profit from the status quo are 312 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: very very good at spinning the politics. It is so 313 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: much easier to say, not only do you deserve it, 314 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: but I'm going to give. 315 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: It to you, and say we can't give it to 316 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: you anymore. 317 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: And here's why taxes or nails pitch is so easy to. 318 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 3: Me. The number one story around that whole thing was 319 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 3: the first story in sixty minutes last night. Did you 320 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 3: see that about how Germany's re arming and how serious 321 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 3: they are about it all because of the whole Ukraine 322 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 3: Russia thing, And I loved I want to get the 323 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 3: clip the Defense Minister of Germany.

But then they 339 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 3: also they figured out a way to steer cockroaches. They 340 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 3: put a little like backpack on cockroaches and then you 341 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 3: have a little steering wheel and you can steer them around. 342 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: And you found that funny.

They'll be crashing 427 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: into your lamps and stuff. 428 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 3: Like that, or it doesn't work in All you've done 429 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 3: is bring a bunch of cockroaches in your house, right, They. 430 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 2: Shake off their little packs and then go hide in 431 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 2: the shadows. 432 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: So you got these guys running around with really realistic 433 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: drone encounter drone exercises, trying all sorts of different systems. 434 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: And it also goes into how the military is really 435 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: changing its procurement protocols, which is something everybody says they 436 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: need to do so that you know, you're not signing 437 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: five year deals with one big, you know, defense company 438 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 1: and by two months from now their drones are out 439 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: of date. There they've been counter you know whatever, countered 440 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: by the enemy. And I came away from reading this 441 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: with a couple of impressions, and it's funny. I don't 442 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: think they mentioned him specifically. I have not heard a 443 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: single person say anything negative about Pete Hegzeth and his 444 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: leadership of the Pentagon, purely in terms of readiness to fight. 445 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: I've never heard anybody even question his seriousness on the 446 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: innovation and protecting our troops and being smart in warfare. 447 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: So far, it seems like he gets very high marks 448 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: in that. I don't know, I could be wrong, but again, 449 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: nobody's even questioned it. 450 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 2: Interesting. 451 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, they criticize him in general sense, or he's too 452 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: mouthy or whatever, he fires people too fast, I don't know. 453 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: But anyway, but the last aspect of this, I we're 454 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: talking about is having the technology is one thing. Being 455 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: able to build it really, really fast is the other thing. 456 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: Because Ukraine and Russia are making millions of drones a year, 457 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: China can outproduce them both, and so the armies hope 458 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: to spur domestic drone production over the next few years 459 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: by you know, hooking up with the best, most innovative 460 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: companies and saying, look, we're going to need you to 461 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: change with the technology. We'll change with the technology. Let's 462 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: let's get into bed. 463 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 464 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 3: When I read the other day how many drones China 465 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 3: is creating compared to us. 466 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 2: It was very troubling. Very well yeah, yeah. 467 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 3: And then the clip we started with is Zelenski saying, sure, 468 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 3: we'll give up the getting in NATO if we get 469 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 3: guarantees from the United States. Do you think we're going 470 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: to give them the sort of guarantees he's wanting. Where 471 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 3: we would come to I mean, we'll go to war 472 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 3: with Russia if he reinvades. I had to be a 473 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 3: hell of a thing. Yeah, I'm highly skeptical. Well, I 474 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 3: would think it would. I'm not exactly sure what I 475 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 3: think of it as a policy. I mean that basically 476 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 3: be the policy. If Ukraine joined NATO or if or today, 477 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 3: if Russia invades to NATO country, that's the business into NATO. 478 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: So in what sense are they not in NATO. They 479 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: don't get to come to the cocktail parties. We'll have 480 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: mutual defense treatings, but they're not in NATO. What does 481 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: that even mean? 482 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 3: And I know some of you feel like surrounding Russia 483 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 3: with NATO is what caused this, and we pushed Putin 484 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 3: into feeling like he had no choice but to evade 485 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 3: U crate that whole thing. But it would be an 486 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 3: interesting move given Trump's history. It would be the opposite 487 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 3: of what he's been saying running on for all these years. 488 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 489 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: One of the flaws in the United States as an ally, 490 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: especially when you make a promise like that that everybody's 491 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: looking at and saying, really, they're really going to do that, 492 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: is the next administration might not feel the same and 493 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: might not be ready to put their guns with their mouths. 494 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 3: O oh, Biden, endlessly, We're with you to the end, 495 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 3: to the end. The crowd cheers endlessly, okay or argently 496 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 3: kind of sort of or depends on public polling and 497 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 3: the next administration. 498 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, all that sort of stuff. 499 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: Well, Ukraine gave up their nukes because we said we 500 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: would protect their sovereignty and then we didn't. 501 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 2: I mean. 502 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 3: Former Charger star Philip Rivers. Because the Indianapolis Colts needed 503 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 3: a quarterback. They tapped him at age forty four, hadn't 504 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 3: played in years. It just shows you how few people 505 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 3: can do that job. 506 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, to some extent. Also, Rivers was good friends with 507 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: the head coach and he knew the offense.
