Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Gatty Key.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Armstrong and Hetty covid.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
AI revealed a new tool called deep Research at an
event over the weekend that can scan the Internet and
compile a report which can be used for important research
like is your ex doing better than you?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That's fantastic. Oh, I left one thing out yesterday when
I was talking about so I listened to one Alex
Friedman's three hour podcasts with some of the smartest AI
people in the world, and they were downplaying AI's threat
to mankind more than I had heard anybody around, and
(01:00):
how much energy it's gonna take and how much GPU
power it's going to be necessary to do the things.
The technology will exist, but it's hard to imagine that
we're gonna have the energy to pull off this major
world transformation. The money is the other thing. There's just
no way to make it profitable yet to where anybody
would actually want to do it. You could do it,
(01:22):
but you just couldn't make money on it. And you know,
if Google or Microsoft or whatever can't make money of it,
By the way, everybody's bet on Google. Everybody says Google
will win. He threw out the question, all these people,
who's going to win the race? Between Chat, GPT and
open ai and China Google, Google's going to be the winner.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Interesting?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, yeah, I'm somewhat that I don't know as much
about this topic as my dog knows about running an
NFL offense. But they laughed at Bezos for years and years. Ama,
suddenly money, It'll never make money.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, I used to laugh at it. So how these
things scale?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
No, but man, they lex Bringman made some good examples.
He said, how much money is the airline spending on
the best they can possibly do? All the airlines and
hotels for having the best possible you know, AI type
interaction with you, and it still is horrible, just freaking
(02:21):
horrible trying to book a room.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Through one of those things, right, I mean, that's where
we are currently. And he made the point earlier. What
was your example of how it's clearly not ready?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Oh yeah, I just googled when is the oscar voting?
Or I voice texted to Google when is the oscar voting?
And it said when is the Oscar voting. It's thought
I said voting. Now, you don't have to be very
smart to figure out I probably said voting. I mean,
that's not like, you know, very very high level of intelligence.
(02:51):
But they're not where they could immediately. I think about
that all the time when I'm googling stuff for voice
texting or where.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
And I think nobody would use this phrase, the phrase
everyone uses all the time. You didn't guess, so I
don't know if you're ready to take over the world yet.
And yet he says decisively, And yet you have things
like this, and this is so nuts. I'm gonna I
meant to ask Hanson and Michael to get this audio.
(03:17):
I'm gonna play it through my phone into the microphone,
then I'll explain it to you.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Hang on, there we go. That is a how long?
Is this like?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Three minute long North Korean propaganda song about Harry Potter
character who rises to become like the next Kim Jong
un with perfectly rendered AI animation of Harry Potter and
(03:59):
Ron and her Miyoni as little North Koreans waving magic wands.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I mean, it is almost perfect.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Now, first of all, you got what twenty five thousand
days on the earth.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Whatever the figure is, I don't know. I haven't done
the math lately.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
About thirty six they usually get it.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
There you go, lifespans are increasing, and you spend your
time putting together a North Korean propaganda film Harry Potter parody.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Anyway, credit for thinking of it.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
But and then this other example, and this, this hurts
my heart in a way. Somebody used AI typed in
the right prompts to redo the Beatles Revolver, which is,
you know, recognized by some as their greatest album, one
of the greatest albums in rock music pop music history,
(04:51):
as a motown album, complete with the cover art and all,
which is not that adventurous.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
But here, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Is AI, Hey do the Beatles Revolver album as a
motown Let's start with drive my car.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Asked the girl.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
But she wanted to be she said, Baby, can't you see.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I wanna be famous?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Stop scream, but you can do something in between.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Baby, you can do That's incredible. That was the entire prompt.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, I don't know what the entire prompt is, but baby,
you can tie.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
That's incredible, Michael.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Next clip, no human beings involved.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Michelle my belle. These are words that go together, well,
my Michelle, Michelle.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
And what I'd really like to do is some music
wise dig into this. Because the melodies are essentially the same,
some of the chords around them have changed to fit
a motown sound, which is like crazy. One more.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
There are please, says I remember. That's amazing my life,
though some have changed.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, and even if the guy had to do half
the page of prompts, then his computer just spit this out,
probably hell through the looking glass.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, but you know, I'm so first of all, this
I was just doing the math real quick. I don't remember.
There's a famous song about thirty six thousand days you have,
but that's obviously not right. I thought the math that
can't be. So that's if you live to be ninety eight.
You're not gonna live be ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
There's a moody blues song called twenty two thousand days,
which I enjoyed in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I think if you lived at what's seventy eighth roughly
life expectancy now, right, so that'd be about twenty nine
thousand days. Twenty nine thousand days, which I think is
an interesting number to keep in mind, on a regular basis,
I got twenty nine thousand days. Do I want to
spend one of them doing this? But anyway back to
the AI, I was believing a lot of the stuff.
(07:41):
You know, I believe the last podcast I heard from
the latest experts, but I was believing a lot of
the stuff that AI could do. A lot of the
experts I've listened to the other day think they're so
far away from solving a lot of the really difficult
things the human brain is capable of. It's amazing what
human brains do. It's just stunning. On things like I
(08:03):
always use the example of doing laundry, the whole laundry experience.
We're nowhere near where AI could do laundry, which you know,
is a menial task that if you're a certain sort
of person, you know, you can hire people for very
low wages to do for you. But it involves a
ton of decisions and knowledge about you know, the colors,
(08:26):
the whites in, which kids' room these go in, and
which drawer they go in. Oh, there's a stain on that,
I better put some sprain. I mean, there's just so
many decisions. Loading a dishwasher was the example, Lex Friedman
was using, Oh yeah, that's right. I let the spaghetti
sit out on the table. It's probably gonna be hardened.
I better scrape that first. I mean, just so many
things that AI.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Is not going to train a person of very very
modest intelligence to handle that job. Yeah, whereas something like
the song is so mathematical, complicated, but mathematical in terms
of figuring out you know this that there's things that
are putting them various together, and and like the they
were using the example on this podcast, I thought this
(09:05):
was a good one. Booking a trip, when will AI
be at the situation where it could book your trip
like really do it where you don't have to like
completely check the work to.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
The point that you might as well have done it yourself.
And there's a lot of complexity into that, which you know,
airline now, I don't want that airline. I flew at
them last time, and they tend to get delayed in
the winter in Denver, And is AI going to figure
that out? Or you know, I tend to like a
room on the second floor because the first floor the
(09:34):
lights are going to shine in my eyes or whatever
it is. There's just a gazillion different things that you
think of that I just I don't. I can't imagine
that AI is going to get there.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
And that's interesting because I've heard booking a trip mentioned
many many times as something AI can do for you now,
but those are the.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Subtle, not in a way that you wouldn't have to
double check all its decisions.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Right. Interesting?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Oh, speaking of interesting, this is I was skeptical at
the time. We had a bunch of hardcore tech people
send the same article the big news about Chinese startup
deep deep Seek, how they shocked the world with their
advanced AI model on six million dollars and only a
(10:17):
few GPUs. One of your most respective analyst firms reports
that the company behind deep Seek incurred one point six
billion dollars in hardware costs and as a fleet of
fifty thousand Nvidia Hopper GPUs of finding that undermines the
idea of the deep Seek reinvented AI training in inference
with dramatically low investment in the leaders of.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
The AH not five and a half million, right.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
No, No, no one point six billion, and not two
thousand chips, fifty thousand chips, and not the cheap o chips.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
They're really good.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Are you are you? Are you trying to tell me
that the Chinese lied?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Jack, I want you to brace yourself.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
They lied about every single aspect of this, about everything
all the time because they had the lowest COVID death
right of anyone in the world.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
By the way, one more quick thing on Ai. If
you ever feel bad about what you know or don't
know about a nobody knows nothing. I mean, there's the
specifics of stuff, but the how it's going to affect
the world and when it's going to be able to
do this or that. Everybody's freaking guessing. You can find
an expert who has dedicated their lives to this, who
agrees with every point of view.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
So I've got to admit, as you were describing listening
for that length of time, I was thinking, I'm not
sure I could hang in there because there's so much speculation.
But if the speculating is interesting, then that it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Well, yeah, I want to see the variety of speculation,
and it's all over the place. I mean all over
the place, from it'll take over the world in two
years to it'll never amount to anything, and everything in between.
So sit back and wait, I guess invest accordingly.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
So it's looking like RFK Junior and Telsea Gabbard might
be in as cabinet members. I just came across a
list of some of the crack pottery that RFK Junior
has spouted through the years.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I mean, it's impressive.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, that's that's that's not the thing though, I was
talking about somebody with this yesterday, educated person with an
educated wife. We brought this up the other day. Megan
McCain mentioned it. Women across America, lots of women. The
whole COVID thing, vaccine thing, kids health thing, that's the
whole story. They don't care about all this other stuff
(12:34):
that he's said over the years. That's where the MAHA
army comes from. I didn't like the government jam in
these vaccines on my kids. I didn't like the schools
shutting down around this. I don't like what my kids
are reading. I don't like the fact that every family
I know has an autistic kid. That's what's driving it.
I don't think he up with a thing because he
has said a lot of nutty things.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Well, let's let's touch on a couple of them.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
But why even if he is half a crack pot.
It was a good idea for Trump to appoint him.
According to one of my favorite commentators, I found insightful.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
That's a good one. Oh, we got to get back
to we're going to invade Gaza. Did you hear that?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Marines and Gaza invade it? We're going to own it
Marines being in a booking trips I'm on my way.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
So AI chat GPT book my trip to Rafa. Stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Bill Gates is responsible for Microsoft Office and the Xbox,
which means, thanks to him, we have some of the
most and least productive people on Earth.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I'm looking at the headline on CNN. Trump does away
with eighty years of Mid East policy in one day.
It hasn't worked very well, so it's an odd criticism. Yeah,
it is.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Us having Marines and RAFA taking over Gaza a non starter.
And he doesn't mean it and never did, and it's.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Not going to stay with us.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
But the fact that does away with eighty years of
many spells. Okay, good and fine? Yeah, wow, Oh that's
too bad.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
More of what Trump said on the way next segment.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yes, are we going to take over Rafa or Gaza
stay with us. So it is my opinion closely held
that JFK RFK Junior. Other is he's half a crack
pot and he is a trial lawyer who says a
lot of incendiary things to make money, always has been,
(14:27):
and a list of the things he said in the
fairly recent past famously, America's meat producers are greater threats
to the US and democracy than Osama bin Laden, et cetera.
That was less than a year after nine to eleven.
By the way, he was in the midst.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Of a class action.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
He was trying to get class action lawsuits going against
meat producers for their alleged environmental carelessness. He's a huge
super lefty environmentally. He accused climate deniers of being traders
and proposed that they should face criminal prosecution in global courts.
And he has praised censorship of misinformation. He praised the
(15:04):
benefits of COVID lockdowns at length. How it reduced it's
not just slowed COVID nineteen, it reduced lethal air pollution
and mortality.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
And blah blah blah. Let's see.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
He supported single pair, socialized medicine, and abortion until the
moment the child's head emerges. He has refused to take
side as sides on nine to eleven conspiracy theories, but
called the NRA a terrorist organization, said COVID was engineered
to attack black and Cautasian people, about to spare Ashkenazi
(15:38):
Jews that would be European type Jews, claim that no
vaccine is safe and effective, including others. He's walked all
of most of this back, wants all fossil fuel energy
shut down, also all nuclear energy. I could go on,
there's more. Well, I haven't even gotten to the fluoride
and the autism.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
In the rest.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Well, that's why Trump, for instance, specifically said I'm gonna
let him go nuts on the food, but I'm keeping
him away from energy. And I think what else?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
And everybody laughed because he doesn't agree with him on
that exactly. In the sixty seconds or so we have left,
one of my favorite thinkers made the point that he's
in favor of the appointment with some pretty good fencing
in for reasons of the coalition, the Make America Healthy
and Coalition, the anti lockdown, and very skeptical of vaccines people.
(16:27):
I'm not sure how the two of them have met,
but they have anyway, that's part of the coalition that
got them elected, and almost like in a parliamentary system,
it's just smart politics to pay some respect to that
part of your coalition.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
So it's savvy.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And as he's the big cheese and the Kennedy branch
of things. It's not the majority, but it's significant. He
has it both ways, smart politics. So we'll reset the
big story of the day. Trump talking about the United
States taking over Gaza and sending the Palestian somewhere else
they can come back after we've turned it into a
golf course or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
If you haven't heard the stuff, it's pretty dang good.
On the way.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Armstrong and Getty, I think that Gaza maybe is a
demolition site right now. If you look at Gaza, it's
all I mean, it's hardly a building standing, and the
ones that are are going to collapse. You can't live
in Gaza right now, and I think we need another location.
I think it should be a location that's going to
make people happy.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Mister President, given what you've said about Gaza to the
US and troops to help secure the security.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
Back as far as Gaza is concerned, we'll do what
is necessary.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Wow, quite a news day yesterday. If you take him
at his word, it's insane. I don't take him at
his word, but even just directionally, And I don't mean
he's lying, it's just that's the way he does things,
the overstate stuff. Then you know we fall somewhere in between.
It's the meaning he negotiates everything, but just directionally. It's
(18:03):
quite a news day. And here's a little back and forth.
Trump announcing yesterday that the United States would take control
of Gaza.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
You look over the decades, it's all death in Gaza.
This has been happening for years. It's all death. If
we can get a beautiful area to resettle people permanently
in nice homes, and whether they can be happy or
not be shot, not be killed, not be knife to death,
like what's happening in Gaza.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
And right now you have in Ghaza.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
A very dangerous situation in terms of explosives all over
the place, in terms of tunnels that nobody knows who's
in the tunnel.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
The whole thing is a mess.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Well that's true. I mean the place is just rubble.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
And twenty thousand unexploded ordinances ordinance or do you say
ordinances bombs? According to some estimates, I think, I really
I don't want to get ahead of the discussion here
because we have more audio to play.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
But whatever direction you want, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I would love to have heard what Trump and Netanyahu
said in private, because it had something to do with
we are going to clean out Gaza, clean it out,
Israel saying that or US saying yes, Israel saying that,
and Trump essentially saying, all right, how does it look?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
How do we help?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Because the situation is untenable, and this is this is
revolutionary talk. This is insane talk to like, you know,
eighty five percent of people who look at Israel's relationship
with the Palestinian people, because like all of the world
is assuming, no, we'll just keep doing what we've done,
(19:48):
uneasy piece spasms of horrific violence than a new accord
that's abandoned two years later, and then we'll just keep
going like that, and Reebe is saying no.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
We're not.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, it's possible. Benjamin Netanya, who the longest serving prime
minister in Israeli history, who's a very old man, could
be thinking this is going to be my legacy. I'm
going to end this problem once and for all. And
I don't care what political price I pay for it,
(20:21):
or any kind of price I pay for it. This
is what I'm going to do. Could be.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, their peace plan is they're going to completely defeat
and perhaps remove their enemy.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Play forty six, because I think it does have a
lot to do with some of the countries there on
the border.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Will you continue to press for this idea that Jordan
and egyptuate house chance from God?
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Yeah, I would like to see Jordan. I'd like to
see Egypt take some look. The Gaza thing has not worked.
It's never worked, and I feel very differently about Gaza
than a lot of people. I think they should get
a good, fresh, beautiful piece of land, and we get
some peopleeople to put up the money to build it
(21:02):
and make it nice, and make it habitable and enjoyable,
and make it.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
At somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
The guy tried to clarify that's what they're talking about.
They're talking about massive relocation. And in case you're not
hipped to this, Jordan and Egypt and every other country
in the region. Lebanon is saying, no freaking way we're taking.
These people are revolutionary Islamist lunatics. We don't want them
in our country, and those are the Arab Muslim countries
(21:32):
in the land.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
So where are they going to go? A couple of
million people.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I'm glad I'm not in charge of this.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I have no idea. The idea that they should have
nice houses, you know, in safe neighborhoods. Okay, sure, how
is that going to happen?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
The best I can guess is that I don't I
honestly don't know. I mean, even if you evict everybody
from Gaza and then let them in on a case
by case basis, that's what it looks like to me.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah. See, because I even though I'm really into quantum
physics and the whole complications around being in two places
at the same time and all this different sort of stuff,
it seems to me that the people need to be
somewhere in the interim. Million.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yes, just not here is the answer.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, that's easier, said the Broadinger's Palestine, saying.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Exactly, That's exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, this is, like I say, I think a decision
was made keeping in mind that Trump just gets forty
years and then maybe jdve answer, somebody takes over and
the policies can really take shape, and flower, I think
Trump and net Yahoo came to a gigantic pivotal agreement.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Well, so, ultimately it's about Iran. That's who funds amass
funded his Belah. That's the big country in the area
that wants Israel to disappear. So while he was sending
signing some executive orders in the middle of the day,
Trump off handedly remarked that he has standing orders that
(23:23):
he's already signed that if Israel is, if Iran assassinates him,
we will obliterate Iran. Said, I've got We've got orders,
I've signed them. This is what's gonna happen. We will
wipe Iran off the map if they assassinate me. Okay, fine,
And then he also said as part of that, it's
a very the reporters because he takes questions. I know
(23:46):
that Kamala Harris didn't and Joe Biden didn't, but Donald
Trump takes tons of questions from a hostile media every
single day. Every day they were asking him about the
bomb Iran. You know, there are reports the economists says
that Iran is just a couple of days away from
having what they need to make a bomb if they
decide to do break out as they call it, and
(24:06):
try to get a bomb. And Trump said, it's very
simple with me. We're not going to allow Iran to
have a bomb. And I think he means that. I
don't think it's like Joe Biden saying, don't I have
one word, don't that means go ahead? But I think
Trump means it. But then, after having said all that
stuff about wiping them off the map, they ain't getting
a bomb, no way. Then he tweets out or yeah,
(24:27):
tweet it out. I want a Ran to be a
great and successful country, but one that cannot have a
nuclear weapon. Reports that the United States, working in conjunction
with Israel, is going to blow Iran into psmith areens
are greatly exaggerated in all caps. I would much prefer
a verified nuclear peace agreement which let Uran peacefully grow
and prosper. We should start working on it immediately and
(24:48):
have a big Middle East celebration when it is signed
and completed. God bless the Middle East, he says, Wow, God,
God forsake the Middle East. God Bless the Middle East.
So after saying that tough talk about Iran, he puts this.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Amiga make the Middle East great again.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Okay, he puts this out that.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Rumors that were going to blow around the smith Reens
are greatly exaggerated.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
So well.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I remember I was watching live as he was signing
the executive order putting harsh new sanctions on Iran, I mean,
really really squeezing him, and.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
He went way down the road of this. Pains me.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I wasn't sure whether I even wanted to do this,
because I think we could have.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
An agreement and they could be great as a country.
But I guess I gotta do it.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I don't know. I mean, he's really really signaling to
any moderate faction in Iran now now now, so we'll.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Have to see.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
So of course, his announcement of Trump National Gaza golf
Resort eclipsed all of that news, so the very few
people are talking about.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Have you seen some of it? Because with AI you
can create this so easily. Show me Gazza with a
golf course on it. Have you seen some of those memes?
They look fantastic. Oh yes, absolutely, It's.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
A really nice part of the world that could I
could have, you know, some of the best real estate
on the planet.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Sorry, I was just gonna say I've seen a number
of pictures of Gaza pre Islamist revolution.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
It's freaking gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
It's Malibu. It's a little sandier than Malibu. The architecture
is a little different, but it's Malibu.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I mean, that guy with the winter coat over there
might have explosives underneath it. You gotta try to take
care of that. Soho, well there's that. Yeah, I had
another point back. Oh, so you kind of brought this
up earlier. Your timeline was longer than mine on this question.
In a week, is somebody going to say, hey, whatever
happened with that whole Gaza thing? I mean, I mean,
(26:45):
are we going to be saying that in a week?
You are wondering like in a couple of years and
in a week are we going to be saying that?
Is it just gonna disappear? Like a lot of things that.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I tell you what, this one is so interesting because
the idea of America taking over the Gaza strip is
just looning tunes, but often it's a directional indication of
where he wants to go, Like the Panama thing mentioned earlier.
We're going to take over the Panama Canal by military
force if we need to well. Marco Rubio went in
and talked and finalized some deals with the Panamanian leadership, saying, hey,
(27:15):
we're super concerned about the Chinese control at each end
of the canal. It really violates our agreements with you.
What can we do to make sure they can never
blah blah blah blah blah, And we very quickly came
to an absolutely terrific agreement. From what I've read with
the Panamanians. Likewise, I have no doubt that we will
get what we need from Greenland strategically and make it very,
(27:36):
very much worth the while of the folks in Greenland.
We're not invade freaking Greenland. But the problem is comparing
this Gaza thing to those is that the ultimate goal
and the ultimate solution was very easy to describe in
both of those cases. Here it's not, I don't know
(27:58):
what's the what we get with whoever succeeded Yah Yah
Sinwar when the drone sent them to go meet Alla,
what is he going to say? You know what, this
whole hate in the jewe thing it is so twenty
twenty four, I tell you what, There's a beautiful.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Spit of land. Like Donny Trump said.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Let's develop it and be reasonable to get that's not
going to happen.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
This whole hate in the Jews thing.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
You know, the one thing I wanted to get on
and forgot Michael forty eight, Benjamin Nett and Yahoo if
you need.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
Him taking it to a much higher level. He sees
a different he sees a different future for that piece
of land that has been the focus of so much terrorism,
so many attacks against US, so many so many trials,
and so many tribulations.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
You can tell he's had living like crazy. Oh yeah
going on there. I don't know. It's a hell of
a thing. So on one hand, as regularly say, you
can't blame the media for taking the President of the
United States seriously when he says things. On the other hand,
experience would show that that's not the way to play
Donald Trump exactly. That's why Mark Calprin says he's the
(29:08):
hardest to cover president ever, because all of that is true.
You should be able to take the president his words
We're going to take over Gaza and then write down
he's going to take over Gaza and then have some
experts on to discuss what that would be like. But
that's not going to happen and he doesn't mean it.
So that's why when I flip on Fox this morning,
they're all laughing about it. You said, what are you
(29:29):
supposed going to happen? They're all just chuckling about all
this sort of stuff. You flip on MSNBC and they've
got military experts and environmental experts and all these different
people actually looking at what Gaza would be like if
we tried to take it over, as if it's going
to happen, and it's not.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah, yeah, but what is going to happen? Okay, different topic.
Are you a racing fan? What's your favorite You like
the Daytona five hundred? Do you like the Kentucky Derby?
My favorite race is white people state? O. My lord,
that was a joke, ladies and gentlemen, although I know
a lot of nice white people, just saying my favorite
race is which US state will go bankrupt first? And
(30:08):
every time I think my adopted home state of California
was going to be first across the finish line, the
state where I grew up, Illinois says not so fast,
We're gonna go bankrupt first.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
A major headline, a major move on that front. Wow,
stay with us. Wow, what a what a fun race.
Stay with us, Armstrong, and that's a great honor.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Know I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
It says it's the biggest game of my life.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
You know, and having the president of parent or that's
the best country in the world.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
That's Taylor Swift's boyfriend. Being asked about the fact that
Donald Trump is going to attend the Super Bowl, first
time a sitting president has ever attended a game. He
made the wise decision to say, regardless of who are
is the president, it's an honor. I wonder why I called.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It the biggest game of his life because they could
win three in a row. Because he's played in four
Super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Now, yeah, maybe maybe he'll be his last one.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
No, he said the other day, because he's going to
get his Super Bowl ring and put it on Tata's
finger out. We don't have time for this foolishness, so
we dould not have time. It'd fit over her leg.
I think probably both of them. We need to get
to this instead the president clip fifteen, Michael and get
the next one ready.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
One of the.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
Things I want to investigate rapidly because I've never seen
anything to this extent. The train that's being built between
Los Angeles and San Francisco is the worst managed project
I think I've ever seen, and I've seen some of
the worst. Billions and billions, hundreds of billions of dollars
over budget. In fact, I read where you could take
(31:50):
every single person that was going to go on the
train and get the finest limousine service in the world
and take them back and forth with celibasines and you'd
have hundreds of millions of dollars left over.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
And he goes on to say, it is the.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
Worst thing, and we're going to start an investigation of that,
because it's not possible. I built for a living, and
I built on time on budget. It's impossible that something
could cost that much. And now it's not even going
to San Francisco, and it's not going to Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
They made it much shorter, so now.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
It's at little places way away from San Francisco and
way away from Los Angeles. No, we're going to start
a big investigation in that because it's I've never seen
anything like it, Nobody has ever seen anything like it.
The worst overruns that there have ever been in the
history of our country.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
And this is good lass, I laughed. It's getting well done, Michael.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
This is good news for cal Unicornians because if the
federal money drives up completely, then they've got to abandon
the giant fraud that is the bullspit train.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Oh and the rest of the country your tax dollars
going to this fraud. Wow.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
If you're not familiar with it, the bullet train from
LA to San Francisco is now kind of a regular
speed train from the outskirts of Merced to suburban Bakersfield
or something like that. Look at a map if you
don't know the geography of California, and why would you.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
But folks around the country, beware State of Illinois.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Major move now to get a bullet train going in.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
JB.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Pritzker, the big fat groomer communist, a bullet train scam
in his state.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Wow, good, good friend from Chicago.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Areas sent that they're trying to whip up the Blackhawk
Corridor bullet train to finally realize the dream of being
able to take a train from Chicago to I think Debuke. Okay,
there you go, but a warning, Dellinoian's you can you
can dream that beautiful dream, but you're gonna get a
train after seventy billion dollars and twenty five years that'll
(33:58):
get you from Freeport to Lean.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Look that up on a map. What a joke.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Although people don't vote for these you know what I
was gonna say. People don't vote for these things on
the merits. The unions and the goons who own Chicago
politics will vote for it because they can spread out
billions of dollars to their cronies. But the state of
cal Uniformity, cal Unicornia actually duped its citizens into voting
for a nine billion dollar bond for the bullet train
(34:27):
many many years ago, and now conservative estimates say it's
going to cost one hundred and twenty billion, and it's
going to be two hundred if it ever runs.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Then it won't. It would cost at least two hundred
billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Some of my great childhood memories are in buk Iowa,
but we got there by car, not to buy a
bullet train.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
And I'm looking at the ban right now. There seem
to be ample highways and many cars to drive them,
but they're not environmentally responsible like a bullet train that'll
take a million years and trillion dollars to build this. Please,
we do four hours of this nonsense every day. If
you don't get every segment or every hour, you should
look for our podcast, Armstrong and Getty on Demand. If
you subscribe, you'll just automatically get it, which is cool.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
AI revealed a new tool called deep Research at an
event over the weekend that can scan the Internet and
compile a report which can be used for important research
like is your ex doing better than you?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That's fantastic. Oh, I left one thing out yesterday when
I was talking about so I listened to one Alex
Friedman's three hour podcasts with some of the smartest AI
people in the world, and they were downplaying AI's threat
to mankind more than I had heard anybody around, and
(01:00):
how much energy it's gonna take and how much GPU
power it's going to be necessary to do the things.
The technology will exist, but it's hard to imagine that
we're gonna have the energy to pull off this major
world transformation. The money is the other thing. There's just
no way to make it profitable yet to where anybody
would actually want to do it. You could do it,
(01:22):
but you just couldn't make money on it. And you know,
if Google or Microsoft or whatever can't make money of it,
By the way, everybody's bet on Google. Everybody says Google
will win. He threw out the question, all these people,
who's going to win the race? Between Chat, GPT and
open ai and China Google, Google's going to be the winner.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Interesting?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, yeah, I'm somewhat that I don't know as much
about this topic as my dog knows about running an
NFL offense. But they laughed at Bezos for years and years. Ama,
suddenly money, It'll never make money.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, I used to laugh at it. So how these
things scale?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
No, but man, they lex Bringman made some good examples.
He said, how much money is the airline spending on
the best they can possibly do? All the airlines and
hotels for having the best possible you know, AI type
interaction with you, and it still is horrible, just freaking
(02:21):
horrible trying to book a room.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Through one of those things, right, I mean, that's where
we are currently. And he made the point earlier. What
was your example of how it's clearly not ready?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Oh yeah, I just googled when is the oscar voting?
Or I voice texted to Google when is the oscar voting?
And it said when is the Oscar voting. It's thought
I said voting. Now, you don't have to be very
smart to figure out I probably said voting. I mean,
that's not like, you know, very very high level of intelligence.
(02:51):
But they're not where they could immediately. I think about
that all the time when I'm googling stuff for voice
texting or where.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
And I think nobody would use this phrase, the phrase
everyone uses all the time. You didn't guess, so I
don't know if you're ready to take over the world yet.
And yet he says decisively, And yet you have things
like this, and this is so nuts. I'm gonna I
meant to ask Hanson and Michael to get this audio.
(03:17):
I'm gonna play it through my phone into the microphone,
then I'll explain it to you.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Hang on, there we go. That is a how long?
Is this like?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Three minute long North Korean propaganda song about Harry Potter
character who rises to become like the next Kim Jong
un with perfectly rendered AI animation of Harry Potter and
(03:59):
Ron and her Miyoni as little North Koreans waving magic wands.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I mean, it is almost perfect.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Now, first of all, you got what twenty five thousand
days on the earth.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Whatever the figure is, I don't know. I haven't done
the math lately.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
About thirty six they usually get it.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
There you go, lifespans are increasing, and you spend your
time putting together a North Korean propaganda film Harry Potter parody.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Anyway, credit for thinking of it.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
But and then this other example, and this, this hurts
my heart in a way. Somebody used AI typed in
the right prompts to redo the Beatles Revolver, which is,
you know, recognized by some as their greatest album, one
of the greatest albums in rock music pop music history,
(04:51):
as a motown album, complete with the cover art and all,
which is not that adventurous.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
But here, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Is AI, Hey do the Beatles Revolver album as a
motown Let's start with drive my car.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Asked the girl.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
But she wanted to be she said, Baby, can't you see.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I wanna be famous?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Stop scream, but you can do something in between.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Baby, you can do That's incredible. That was the entire prompt.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, I don't know what the entire prompt is, but baby,
you can tie.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
That's incredible, Michael.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Next clip, no human beings involved.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Michelle my belle. These are words that go together, well,
my Michelle, Michelle.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
And what I'd really like to do is some music
wise dig into this. Because the melodies are essentially the same,
some of the chords around them have changed to fit
a motown sound, which is like crazy. One more.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
There are please, says I remember. That's amazing my life,
though some have changed.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, and even if the guy had to do half
the page of prompts, then his computer just spit this out,
probably hell through the looking glass.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, but you know, I'm so first of all, this
I was just doing the math real quick. I don't remember.
There's a famous song about thirty six thousand days you have,
but that's obviously not right. I thought the math that
can't be. So that's if you live to be ninety eight.
You're not gonna live be ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
There's a moody blues song called twenty two thousand days,
which I enjoyed in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I think if you lived at what's seventy eighth roughly
life expectancy now, right, so that'd be about twenty nine
thousand days. Twenty nine thousand days, which I think is
an interesting number to keep in mind, on a regular basis,
I got twenty nine thousand days. Do I want to
spend one of them doing this? But anyway back to
the AI, I was believing a lot of the stuff.
(07:41):
You know, I believe the last podcast I heard from
the latest experts, but I was believing a lot of
the stuff that AI could do. A lot of the
experts I've listened to the other day think they're so
far away from solving a lot of the really difficult
things the human brain is capable of. It's amazing what
human brains do. It's just stunning. On things like I
(08:03):
always use the example of doing laundry, the whole laundry experience.
We're nowhere near where AI could do laundry, which you know,
is a menial task that if you're a certain sort
of person, you know, you can hire people for very
low wages to do for you. But it involves a
ton of decisions and knowledge about you know, the colors,
(08:26):
the whites in, which kids' room these go in, and
which drawer they go in. Oh, there's a stain on that,
I better put some sprain. I mean, there's just so
many decisions. Loading a dishwasher was the example, Lex Friedman
was using, Oh yeah, that's right. I let the spaghetti
sit out on the table. It's probably gonna be hardened.
I better scrape that first. I mean, just so many
things that AI.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Is not going to train a person of very very
modest intelligence to handle that job. Yeah, whereas something like
the song is so mathematical, complicated, but mathematical in terms
of figuring out you know this that there's things that
are putting them various together, and and like the they
were using the example on this podcast, I thought this
(09:05):
was a good one. Booking a trip, when will AI
be at the situation where it could book your trip
like really do it where you don't have to like
completely check the work to.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
The point that you might as well have done it yourself.
And there's a lot of complexity into that, which you know,
airline now, I don't want that airline. I flew at
them last time, and they tend to get delayed in
the winter in Denver, And is AI going to figure
that out? Or you know, I tend to like a
room on the second floor because the first floor the
(09:34):
lights are going to shine in my eyes or whatever
it is. There's just a gazillion different things that you
think of that I just I don't. I can't imagine
that AI is going to get there.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
And that's interesting because I've heard booking a trip mentioned
many many times as something AI can do for you now,
but those are the.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Subtle, not in a way that you wouldn't have to
double check all its decisions.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Right. Interesting?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Oh, speaking of interesting, this is I was skeptical at
the time. We had a bunch of hardcore tech people
send the same article the big news about Chinese startup
deep deep Seek, how they shocked the world with their
advanced AI model on six million dollars and only a
(10:17):
few GPUs. One of your most respective analyst firms reports
that the company behind deep Seek incurred one point six
billion dollars in hardware costs and as a fleet of
fifty thousand Nvidia Hopper GPUs of finding that undermines the
idea of the deep Seek reinvented AI training in inference
with dramatically low investment in the leaders of.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
The AH not five and a half million, right.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
No, No, no one point six billion, and not two
thousand chips, fifty thousand chips, and not the cheap o chips.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
They're really good.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Are you are you? Are you trying to tell me
that the Chinese lied?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Jack, I want you to brace yourself.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
They lied about every single aspect of this, about everything
all the time because they had the lowest COVID death
right of anyone in the world.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
By the way, one more quick thing on Ai. If
you ever feel bad about what you know or don't
know about a nobody knows nothing. I mean, there's the
specifics of stuff, but the how it's going to affect
the world and when it's going to be able to
do this or that. Everybody's freaking guessing. You can find
an expert who has dedicated their lives to this, who
agrees with every point of view.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
So I've got to admit, as you were describing listening
for that length of time, I was thinking, I'm not
sure I could hang in there because there's so much speculation.
But if the speculating is interesting, then that it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Well, yeah, I want to see the variety of speculation,
and it's all over the place. I mean all over
the place, from it'll take over the world in two
years to it'll never amount to anything, and everything in between.
So sit back and wait, I guess invest accordingly.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
So it's looking like RFK Junior and Telsea Gabbard might
be in as cabinet members. I just came across a
list of some of the crack pottery that RFK Junior
has spouted through the years.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I mean, it's impressive.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, that's that's that's not the thing though, I was
talking about somebody with this yesterday, educated person with an
educated wife. We brought this up the other day. Megan
McCain mentioned it. Women across America, lots of women. The
whole COVID thing, vaccine thing, kids health thing, that's the
whole story. They don't care about all this other stuff
(12:34):
that he's said over the years. That's where the MAHA
army comes from. I didn't like the government jam in
these vaccines on my kids. I didn't like the schools
shutting down around this. I don't like what my kids
are reading. I don't like the fact that every family
I know has an autistic kid. That's what's driving it.
I don't think he up with a thing because he
has said a lot of nutty things.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Well, let's let's touch on a couple of them.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
But why even if he is half a crack pot.
It was a good idea for Trump to appoint him.
According to one of my favorite commentators, I found insightful.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
That's a good one. Oh, we got to get back
to we're going to invade Gaza. Did you hear that?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Marines and Gaza invade it? We're going to own it
Marines being in a booking trips I'm on my way.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
So AI chat GPT book my trip to Rafa. Stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Bill Gates is responsible for Microsoft Office and the Xbox,
which means, thanks to him, we have some of the
most and least productive people on Earth.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I'm looking at the headline on CNN. Trump does away
with eighty years of Mid East policy in one day.
It hasn't worked very well, so it's an odd criticism. Yeah,
it is.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Us having Marines and RAFA taking over Gaza a non starter.
And he doesn't mean it and never did, and it's.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Not going to stay with us.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
But the fact that does away with eighty years of
many spells. Okay, good and fine? Yeah, wow, Oh that's
too bad.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
More of what Trump said on the way next segment.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yes, are we going to take over Rafa or Gaza
stay with us. So it is my opinion closely held
that JFK RFK Junior. Other is he's half a crack
pot and he is a trial lawyer who says a
lot of incendiary things to make money, always has been,
(14:27):
and a list of the things he said in the
fairly recent past famously, America's meat producers are greater threats
to the US and democracy than Osama bin Laden, et cetera.
That was less than a year after nine to eleven.
By the way, he was in the midst.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Of a class action.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
He was trying to get class action lawsuits going against
meat producers for their alleged environmental carelessness. He's a huge
super lefty environmentally. He accused climate deniers of being traders
and proposed that they should face criminal prosecution in global courts.
And he has praised censorship of misinformation. He praised the
(15:04):
benefits of COVID lockdowns at length. How it reduced it's
not just slowed COVID nineteen, it reduced lethal air pollution
and mortality.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
And blah blah blah. Let's see.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
He supported single pair, socialized medicine, and abortion until the
moment the child's head emerges. He has refused to take
side as sides on nine to eleven conspiracy theories, but
called the NRA a terrorist organization, said COVID was engineered
to attack black and Cautasian people, about to spare Ashkenazi
(15:38):
Jews that would be European type Jews, claim that no
vaccine is safe and effective, including others. He's walked all
of most of this back, wants all fossil fuel energy
shut down, also all nuclear energy. I could go on,
there's more. Well, I haven't even gotten to the fluoride
and the autism.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
In the rest.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Well, that's why Trump, for instance, specifically said I'm gonna
let him go nuts on the food, but I'm keeping
him away from energy. And I think what else?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
And everybody laughed because he doesn't agree with him on
that exactly. In the sixty seconds or so we have left,
one of my favorite thinkers made the point that he's
in favor of the appointment with some pretty good fencing
in for reasons of the coalition, the Make America Healthy
and Coalition, the anti lockdown, and very skeptical of vaccines people.
(16:27):
I'm not sure how the two of them have met,
but they have anyway, that's part of the coalition that
got them elected, and almost like in a parliamentary system,
it's just smart politics to pay some respect to that
part of your coalition.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
So it's savvy.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And as he's the big cheese and the Kennedy branch
of things. It's not the majority, but it's significant. He
has it both ways, smart politics. So we'll reset the
big story of the day. Trump talking about the United
States taking over Gaza and sending the Palestian somewhere else
they can come back after we've turned it into a
golf course or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
If you haven't heard the stuff, it's pretty dang good.
On the way.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Armstrong and Getty, I think that Gaza maybe is a
demolition site right now. If you look at Gaza, it's
all I mean, it's hardly a building standing, and the
ones that are are going to collapse. You can't live
in Gaza right now, and I think we need another location.
I think it should be a location that's going to
make people happy.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Mister President, given what you've said about Gaza to the
US and troops to help secure the security.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
Back as far as Gaza is concerned, we'll do what
is necessary.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Wow, quite a news day yesterday. If you take him
at his word, it's insane. I don't take him at
his word, but even just directionally, And I don't mean
he's lying, it's just that's the way he does things,
the overstate stuff. Then you know we fall somewhere in between.
It's the meaning he negotiates everything, but just directionally. It's
(18:03):
quite a news day. And here's a little back and forth.
Trump announcing yesterday that the United States would take control
of Gaza.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
You look over the decades, it's all death in Gaza.
This has been happening for years. It's all death. If
we can get a beautiful area to resettle people permanently
in nice homes, and whether they can be happy or
not be shot, not be killed, not be knife to death,
like what's happening in Gaza.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
And right now you have in Ghaza.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
A very dangerous situation in terms of explosives all over
the place, in terms of tunnels that nobody knows who's
in the tunnel.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
The whole thing is a mess.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Well that's true. I mean the place is just rubble.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
And twenty thousand unexploded ordinances ordinance or do you say
ordinances bombs? According to some estimates, I think, I really
I don't want to get ahead of the discussion here
because we have more audio to play.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
But whatever direction you want, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I would love to have heard what Trump and Netanyahu
said in private, because it had something to do with
we are going to clean out Gaza, clean it out,
Israel saying that or US saying yes, Israel saying that,
and Trump essentially saying, all right, how does it look?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
How do we help?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Because the situation is untenable, and this is this is
revolutionary talk. This is insane talk to like, you know,
eighty five percent of people who look at Israel's relationship
with the Palestinian people, because like all of the world
is assuming, no, we'll just keep doing what we've done,
(19:48):
uneasy piece spasms of horrific violence than a new accord
that's abandoned two years later, and then we'll just keep
going like that, and Reebe is saying no.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
We're not.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, it's possible. Benjamin Netanya, who the longest serving prime
minister in Israeli history, who's a very old man, could
be thinking this is going to be my legacy. I'm
going to end this problem once and for all. And
I don't care what political price I pay for it,
(20:21):
or any kind of price I pay for it. This
is what I'm going to do. Could be.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, their peace plan is they're going to completely defeat
and perhaps remove their enemy.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Play forty six, because I think it does have a
lot to do with some of the countries there on
the border.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Will you continue to press for this idea that Jordan
and egyptuate house chance from God?
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Yeah, I would like to see Jordan. I'd like to
see Egypt take some look. The Gaza thing has not worked.
It's never worked, and I feel very differently about Gaza
than a lot of people. I think they should get
a good, fresh, beautiful piece of land, and we get
some peopleeople to put up the money to build it
(21:02):
and make it nice, and make it habitable and enjoyable,
and make it.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
At somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
The guy tried to clarify that's what they're talking about.
They're talking about massive relocation. And in case you're not
hipped to this, Jordan and Egypt and every other country
in the region. Lebanon is saying, no freaking way we're taking.
These people are revolutionary Islamist lunatics. We don't want them
in our country, and those are the Arab Muslim countries
(21:32):
in the land.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
So where are they going to go? A couple of
million people.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I'm glad I'm not in charge of this.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I have no idea. The idea that they should have
nice houses, you know, in safe neighborhoods. Okay, sure, how
is that going to happen?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
The best I can guess is that I don't I
honestly don't know. I mean, even if you evict everybody
from Gaza and then let them in on a case
by case basis, that's what it looks like to me.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah. See, because I even though I'm really into quantum
physics and the whole complications around being in two places
at the same time and all this different sort of stuff,
it seems to me that the people need to be
somewhere in the interim. Million.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yes, just not here is the answer.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, that's easier, said the Broadinger's Palestine, saying.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Exactly, That's exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, this is, like I say, I think a decision
was made keeping in mind that Trump just gets forty
years and then maybe jdve answer, somebody takes over and
the policies can really take shape, and flower, I think
Trump and net Yahoo came to a gigantic pivotal agreement.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Well, so, ultimately it's about Iran. That's who funds amass
funded his Belah. That's the big country in the area
that wants Israel to disappear. So while he was sending
signing some executive orders in the middle of the day,
Trump off handedly remarked that he has standing orders that
(23:23):
he's already signed that if Israel is, if Iran assassinates him,
we will obliterate Iran. Said, I've got We've got orders,
I've signed them. This is what's gonna happen. We will
wipe Iran off the map if they assassinate me. Okay, fine,
And then he also said as part of that, it's
a very the reporters because he takes questions. I know
(23:46):
that Kamala Harris didn't and Joe Biden didn't, but Donald
Trump takes tons of questions from a hostile media every
single day. Every day they were asking him about the
bomb Iran. You know, there are reports the economists says
that Iran is just a couple of days away from
having what they need to make a bomb if they
decide to do break out as they call it, and
(24:06):
try to get a bomb. And Trump said, it's very
simple with me. We're not going to allow Iran to
have a bomb. And I think he means that. I
don't think it's like Joe Biden saying, don't I have
one word, don't that means go ahead? But I think
Trump means it. But then, after having said all that
stuff about wiping them off the map, they ain't getting
a bomb, no way. Then he tweets out or yeah,
(24:27):
tweet it out. I want a Ran to be a
great and successful country, but one that cannot have a
nuclear weapon. Reports that the United States, working in conjunction
with Israel, is going to blow Iran into psmith areens
are greatly exaggerated in all caps. I would much prefer
a verified nuclear peace agreement which let Uran peacefully grow
and prosper. We should start working on it immediately and
(24:48):
have a big Middle East celebration when it is signed
and completed. God bless the Middle East, he says, Wow, God,
God forsake the Middle East. God Bless the Middle East.
So after saying that tough talk about Iran, he puts this.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Amiga make the Middle East great again.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Okay, he puts this out that.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Rumors that were going to blow around the smith Reens
are greatly exaggerated.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
So well.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I remember I was watching live as he was signing
the executive order putting harsh new sanctions on Iran, I mean,
really really squeezing him, and.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
He went way down the road of this. Pains me.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I wasn't sure whether I even wanted to do this,
because I think we could have.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
An agreement and they could be great as a country.
But I guess I gotta do it.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I don't know. I mean, he's really really signaling to
any moderate faction in Iran now now now, so we'll.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Have to see.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
So of course, his announcement of Trump National Gaza golf
Resort eclipsed all of that news, so the very few
people are talking about.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Have you seen some of it? Because with AI you
can create this so easily. Show me Gazza with a
golf course on it. Have you seen some of those memes?
They look fantastic. Oh yes, absolutely, It's.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
A really nice part of the world that could I
could have, you know, some of the best real estate
on the planet.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Sorry, I was just gonna say I've seen a number
of pictures of Gaza pre Islamist revolution.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
It's freaking gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
It's Malibu. It's a little sandier than Malibu. The architecture
is a little different, but it's Malibu.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I mean, that guy with the winter coat over there
might have explosives underneath it. You gotta try to take
care of that. Soho, well there's that. Yeah, I had
another point back. Oh, so you kind of brought this
up earlier. Your timeline was longer than mine on this question.
In a week, is somebody going to say, hey, whatever
happened with that whole Gaza thing? I mean, I mean,
(26:45):
are we going to be saying that in a week?
You are wondering like in a couple of years and
in a week are we going to be saying that?
Is it just gonna disappear? Like a lot of things that.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I tell you what, this one is so interesting because
the idea of America taking over the Gaza strip is
just looning tunes, but often it's a directional indication of
where he wants to go, Like the Panama thing mentioned earlier.
We're going to take over the Panama Canal by military
force if we need to well. Marco Rubio went in
and talked and finalized some deals with the Panamanian leadership, saying, hey,
(27:15):
we're super concerned about the Chinese control at each end
of the canal. It really violates our agreements with you.
What can we do to make sure they can never
blah blah blah blah blah, And we very quickly came
to an absolutely terrific agreement. From what I've read with
the Panamanians. Likewise, I have no doubt that we will
get what we need from Greenland strategically and make it very,
(27:36):
very much worth the while of the folks in Greenland.
We're not invade freaking Greenland. But the problem is comparing
this Gaza thing to those is that the ultimate goal
and the ultimate solution was very easy to describe in
both of those cases. Here it's not, I don't know
(27:58):
what's the what we get with whoever succeeded Yah Yah
Sinwar when the drone sent them to go meet Alla,
what is he going to say? You know what, this
whole hate in the jewe thing it is so twenty
twenty four, I tell you what, There's a beautiful.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Spit of land. Like Donny Trump said.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Let's develop it and be reasonable to get that's not
going to happen.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
This whole hate in the Jews thing.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
You know, the one thing I wanted to get on
and forgot Michael forty eight, Benjamin Nett and Yahoo if
you need.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
Him taking it to a much higher level. He sees
a different he sees a different future for that piece
of land that has been the focus of so much terrorism,
so many attacks against US, so many so many trials,
and so many tribulations.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
You can tell he's had living like crazy. Oh yeah
going on there. I don't know. It's a hell of
a thing. So on one hand, as regularly say, you
can't blame the media for taking the President of the
United States seriously when he says things. On the other hand,
experience would show that that's not the way to play
Donald Trump exactly. That's why Mark Calprin says he's the
(29:08):
hardest to cover president ever, because all of that is true.
You should be able to take the president his words
We're going to take over Gaza and then write down
he's going to take over Gaza and then have some
experts on to discuss what that would be like. But
that's not going to happen and he doesn't mean it.
So that's why when I flip on Fox this morning,
they're all laughing about it. You said, what are you
(29:29):
supposed going to happen? They're all just chuckling about all
this sort of stuff. You flip on MSNBC and they've
got military experts and environmental experts and all these different
people actually looking at what Gaza would be like if
we tried to take it over, as if it's going
to happen, and it's not.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah, yeah, but what is going to happen? Okay, different topic.
Are you a racing fan? What's your favorite You like
the Daytona five hundred? Do you like the Kentucky Derby?
My favorite race is white people state? O. My lord,
that was a joke, ladies and gentlemen, although I know
a lot of nice white people, just saying my favorite
race is which US state will go bankrupt first? And
(30:08):
every time I think my adopted home state of California
was going to be first across the finish line, the
state where I grew up, Illinois says not so fast,
We're gonna go bankrupt first.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
A major headline, a major move on that front. Wow,
stay with us. Wow, what a what a fun race.
Stay with us, Armstrong, and that's a great honor.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Know I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
It says it's the biggest game of my life.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
You know, and having the president of parent or that's
the best country in the world.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
That's Taylor Swift's boyfriend. Being asked about the fact that
Donald Trump is going to attend the Super Bowl, first
time a sitting president has ever attended a game. He
made the wise decision to say, regardless of who are
is the president, it's an honor. I wonder why I called.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It the biggest game of his life because they could
win three in a row. Because he's played in four
Super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Now, yeah, maybe maybe he'll be his last one.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
No, he said the other day, because he's going to
get his Super Bowl ring and put it on Tata's
finger out. We don't have time for this foolishness, so
we dould not have time. It'd fit over her leg.
I think probably both of them. We need to get
to this instead the president clip fifteen, Michael and get
the next one ready.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
One of the.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
Things I want to investigate rapidly because I've never seen
anything to this extent. The train that's being built between
Los Angeles and San Francisco is the worst managed project
I think I've ever seen, and I've seen some of
the worst. Billions and billions, hundreds of billions of dollars
over budget. In fact, I read where you could take
(31:50):
every single person that was going to go on the
train and get the finest limousine service in the world
and take them back and forth with celibasines and you'd
have hundreds of millions of dollars left over.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
And he goes on to say, it is the.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
Worst thing, and we're going to start an investigation of that,
because it's not possible. I built for a living, and
I built on time on budget. It's impossible that something
could cost that much. And now it's not even going
to San Francisco, and it's not going to Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
They made it much shorter, so now.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
It's at little places way away from San Francisco and
way away from Los Angeles. No, we're going to start
a big investigation in that because it's I've never seen
anything like it, Nobody has ever seen anything like it.
The worst overruns that there have ever been in the
history of our country.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
And this is good lass, I laughed. It's getting well done, Michael.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
This is good news for cal Unicornians because if the
federal money drives up completely, then they've got to abandon
the giant fraud that is the bullspit train.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Oh and the rest of the country your tax dollars
going to this fraud. Wow.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
If you're not familiar with it, the bullet train from
LA to San Francisco is now kind of a regular
speed train from the outskirts of Merced to suburban Bakersfield
or something like that. Look at a map if you
don't know the geography of California, and why would you.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
But folks around the country, beware State of Illinois.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Major move now to get a bullet train going in.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
JB.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Pritzker, the big fat groomer communist, a bullet train scam
in his state.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Wow, good, good friend from Chicago.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Areas sent that they're trying to whip up the Blackhawk
Corridor bullet train to finally realize the dream of being
able to take a train from Chicago to I think Debuke. Okay,
there you go, but a warning, Dellinoian's you can you
can dream that beautiful dream, but you're gonna get a
train after seventy billion dollars and twenty five years that'll
(33:58):
get you from Freeport to Lean.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Look that up on a map. What a joke.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Although people don't vote for these you know what I
was gonna say. People don't vote for these things on
the merits. The unions and the goons who own Chicago
politics will vote for it because they can spread out
billions of dollars to their cronies. But the state of
cal Uniformity, cal Unicornia actually duped its citizens into voting
for a nine billion dollar bond for the bullet train
(34:27):
many many years ago, and now conservative estimates say it's
going to cost one hundred and twenty billion, and it's
going to be two hundred if it ever runs.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Then it won't. It would cost at least two hundred
billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Some of my great childhood memories are in buk Iowa,
but we got there by car, not to buy a
bullet train.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
And I'm looking at the ban right now. There seem
to be ample highways and many cars to drive them,
but they're not environmentally responsible like a bullet train that'll
take a million years and trillion dollars to build this. Please,
