Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty arm Strong
and Getty and Key Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
All of it a sudden shift from Usk, who enthusiastically
campaigned for Trump, the president, suggesting he would have won
in twenty twenty four without the support of the world's
richest man.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I think I would have won, Susie would say, I
would have won Pennsylvania easily anyway.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Minutes later, Musk firing back, writing without me, Trump would
have lost the election.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Such ingratitude, So that's part of it. I'm looking at
the news feeds. Every outlet is leading with this story.
There's a couple of reasons. They are two of the
most powerful men in the world arguing in a hilarious fashion.
But they also, like any sort of high school like
(01:03):
drama about DC.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
The media does often in a way that doesn't matter
to you at all.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
We've got breaking news, but let's hear a little more
on what happened yesterday before we get to the breaking
news on the rift.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
The war words escalating even further, President Trump posting Elon
was wearing thin. I asked him to leave. I took
away his ev mandate and he just went crazy. And
that the easiest way to save money in our budget,
billions and billions of dollars, is to terminate Elon's governmental
subsidies in contracts. Musk then riding time to drop the
really big bomb Trump is in the Epstein files. That
(01:39):
is the real reason they've not been made public. Musk
offered no evidence to back up his accusation, and nothing
made public has implicated Trump, who's denied any involvement in
Epstein's criminal behavior.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, that was a troll.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
That was just that's when you're in an argument and
you're just looking at the closest insult at hand. That
will hurt the other person, right, one of those deals.
So I'll go with this in order. Politico reported really
early this morning breaking White House schedules Friday call for
Elon and Trump. Political had that like in the middle
of the night. Trump and Elon are signaling a more
(02:13):
measured tone after their recent debate over the Big Beautiful Bill.
In an interview with Politico, Trump projected calm, saying it's
going very well. Never been better, in emphasizing his strong
poll numbers, which we mentioned last hour, tariffs, everything else
that's going on. Poll numbers are up for Trump and
a couple of your big major polls. White House aides
have encouraged the President to focus on the bill's passage
(02:35):
and avoid any escalating disagreements with Elon. A call is
scheduled between Trump and Elon to discuss their views further.
Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman urged both men to work
together for the country's benefit. A sentiment Elon, A sentiment
Elon echoed on X Okay. I thought, okay, so even
these two guys calmed down today, they're going to talk
(02:56):
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
D Trump went on Dana Bash's show on CNN. We're
grabbing some vomit it.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Do you have it? Okay, here you go.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
And then I went back to the question about Elon Musk.
Will you be able to focus on that and bury
the hatchet with Elon. I'm not even thinking about Elon,
is how the President responded. And then he said he's
got a problem. The poor guy's got a problem. And
then I said, no call with Elon right now. No,
I won't be speaking to him for a while, I guess,
(03:26):
but I wish him well.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So she didn't have him on, but she interviewed him
or talked to him on the phone. But so he
told Political, I mean the way that reads his Political
heard from him, and he told Political they're going to
have a phone call. Well Political is reporting there was
a phone call scheduled. I don't know who started that rumor.
CNN's saying, you know, we just talked to him.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
He said, I want to be talking to Elon for
a while.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
The New York Post is reporting that Trump is going
to get rid of his red Tesla s that Elon
gave him on the lawn. I don't think it was
a plaid if Elon really liked me to give him
the plat not just the base model, but I kind
of hurt.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
It's the super fast one, not literally plaid.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, it's from the movie space Balls, which I've never seen,
which is a very Elon thing to do. So Trump's
giving back the Tesla. And so I woke up to
this just going through some of my news sources. It
was all about calmed down, reconciliation and everything like that.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
But then I got into some of the later.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Tweets from from Elon on his own platform. Late last night,
he retweeted the relationship between Trump and Epstein is well established,
with a couple of links and then a video Elon
with a I don't know what that emoji is a grimace. Oh,
it's an eyebrow raised Elon with an eyebrow raised emoji
(04:47):
at a nineteen ninety two Trump dancing with a bunch
of young women at an Epstein party. So that was
late last night. I don't know where any of this
talk of it calming down. Were other people hoping that
and if they claimed it was calming down, that Trump
and Elon would go along with that narrative or what.
I definitely think there were a lot of people who
(05:07):
had that sentiment.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, including me. I've got to admit I'm having trouble.
This is a confession.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
This is we used to have theme music for this,
or announcer saying straight from Joe's ticker, this is straight
for my ticker. I'm having a lot of trouble enjoying
this because to have.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Even at the beginning yesterday, at the beginning, you know,
I enjoyed that thoroughly.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Oh yeah, completely, Yeah, I gotta admit I was on
one level. But it is disturbing that again, we can
have mercurial manchild magnates running various companies. It's odd. The
shareholders are probably freaked out. There are jobs and dollars
(05:51):
at stake, but we'll all be okay. I've got to
admit I'm having trouble having fun with this because the
president is.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So mercurial and undisciplined.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
I just I don't think it's going to lead to
good things for the country I saw, so I'm having
trouble enjoying it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I saw an historian Mark Halpern's podcast yesterday who said
that Henry Ford went to visit Woodrow Wilson in the
White House and they had an argument and Woodrow Wilson
kicked him out of the White House, very similar sort
of thing, and then Henry Pork turned on him hard and.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Said all kinds of things.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
But I think, well, let's if I recall correctly, Lyndon
Baines Johnson got into it hardcore with Betty Crocker as well, screaming,
match throwing dishes. It's terrible, terrible, So where's this matters part?
Can you play out how this matters as opposed to
(06:47):
its just kind of interesting soap opera stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Yeah, everybody's gone hardcore, all the mainstream media into who's risky,
who could lose what in this race? And you know,
in terms of dollars and and well financial concerns, Elon
is very, very vulnerable given the government policies, whether subsidies
contract well, if Trump regulations, etc. That if Trump decided
(07:13):
to pull those levers, that could be enormously damaging for
Elon and his companies.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
At a shareholder, that would be huge. Would that be historic?
If the president what is that called? It wouldn't be
a law, I would be an executive action or something
like that? Was it? When you when you're a bill
of attainer when you go after one person in particular,
I mean Trump trying to hurt one person because he's
mad at them.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Yeah, altering US policy, US expenditures, regulations, the rest of
it out of but heardedness or a personal conflict.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, I think that would be terrible.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Now, all these articles I'm talking about say, on the
downside for Trump, Elon Musk and his wealth and his
media influence and X and his millions of followers, that
could make it harder in the midterms. He could primary people.
It's all like political downside.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I don't know how much Elon cares about some of
I don't think he cares that much about his person
personal wealth. I honestly he does either because it's ginormous.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
It is so large.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
As long as he stays in reasonably good health, he'll
continue to come up with ideas and companies and press forward.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Well, he's got pinned at the top Elon does of
his Twitter feed, which has two hundred and twenty one
million followers.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
That's a stunning number.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Is it time to create a new political party in
America that actually represents the eighty percent in the middle? Yes,
eighty one percent? No, nineteen percent. Now that's on his
own Twitter feed. Although I'll bet there's a lot of
people that don't particularly dig Elon or going to his
Twitter feed to see what he has to say, I
would think sure.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
And for the record, by the way, I've been critical
of Trump in this because he is the president of
the United States of America. For what it's worth, Elon
has been a childish and idiotic and unfocused.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
He ought to just focus on the debt thing.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
If he had just said, look my gripe with the
beautiful bill.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The uh the what do you call it?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Why can't I the discossation part disgusting? The problem with
the disgusting abomination is that it continues to spend us
into financial oblivion.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I can't back it.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
If he had just hung with that message, right, But
Trump went personal on and Elon, Elon had to go
personal with Trump, and again it's it's just a big
diaper blowout.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Well, speaking of the loathesome pos.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Bill, like a lot of the stuff that Elon has
been retweeting overnight in this morning.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Do any of these people sleep ever? Oh yeah, I know.
I was thinking the same thing.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
But Elon tweeted out another like think tank guy talking
about how we now pay one point two billion dollars
in just interest on the debt and this is not
the sort of thing that peacetime countries do.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
This is wartime level deficits. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So he care I think, I think he belie leaves
as a business guy.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
This is unsustainable.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Why don't we grow up and recognize that something needs
to happen. He's one hundred percent right about that, right, Yeah, yeah,
I got a little more on that after this, You know,
that moment at night when you're locking up, turning off
the lights and you just want to feel completely safe
before heading to bed, you and your loved ones.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's what Simon Safe gives you.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I'm in my footy pajamas, I got a glass of
warm milk and a cookie.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
That's just fantastic. Brush your teeth or you're to have
them decaytering the night. Most security systems only take action
after someone breaks in.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
That's too late.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Simply Safe new Active Guard Outdoor protection helps stop the
break ins before they happen.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Hey, by the way, I didn't see this named best
Home security system of twenty twenty five by CNET.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's cool.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Four million Americans already trust Simply Safe. I'm one of them.
I like driving away from my home knowing that the
live guard protection and the cameras and the sensors and
all that sort of stuff, you're.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Going to catch the bad guys. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
The Active Guard Outdoor Protection is amazing. AI powered cameras,
live monitoring agents detect suspicious activity around your property. If
somebody's lurking oooching about, agents can talk to them, turn
on the spotlights, call the cops before the crime occurs.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
It's amazing.

There's no safe like simply safe. Elan did retweet this.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
It was Jesse Waters on Fox yesterday saying the media
said that Musk was co president. Remember that period, the
media said Trump was doing favors for Elon and it's
all just to that's why it's an oligarchy. Well, if
you look at the big, beautiful build, there's no favors
in it for Elon Musk at all.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
So so much for that.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Before the falling out, right, Yeah, it's as if they're
lying dopes in the mainstream media.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Elon did state to the Trump tariffs will cause a
recession in the second half of the year and then
it's a terrible idea, and then re tweeted somebody talking
about how stupid the tariffs are.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
And this was late last night.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I don't know where did the I need to go
back and find where did the headlines come from? Elon Reconciliation,
both of them calming down, it doesn't sound like it
to me.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Well, I think that's because every single tweet or truth
or whatever the hell spawned a new round of headlines,
and so there was a bit of a hey, let's
lower the temperature moment, and they rushed a bunch of
headlines out. Then they were contradicted three minutes later. For
what it's worth, Trump aid. Stephen Miller backed his boss's
bill on a post today on x Twitter. The Reconciliation
(12:38):
bill cuts taxes, seals the border, and reforms welfare.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It is not a spending bill. There is no pork.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
It is the campaign agenda codified Steven Miller claiming there's
no pork in the bill.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Good lord, Umm, well, we got to take a break.
I got some other commentary around this we'll get to later.
And I have a feeling more is going to happen.
And while we're on the air, I mean Trump is
getting rid of the Tesla. I can see Trump out
on the lawn with a sledgehammer bashing the tesla for
the cameras, right.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Go ahead, And.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Then I could see Elon hiring the guy who plays
Trump on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Live and doing his skitt in his office. Now you
got my attention. More on the way stay here.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
I will be unabashedly proud that we aim to eliminate
every menial, mundane, and repetitive job out there. We want
to eliminate that, and if it's repetitive, we want to
automate that because we will never run out of things
to do for our employees. We want them to focus
on higher level tasks. People are amazing at using common
sense and reasoning and understanding complex problems like.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Why would you not use that?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
That's Amazon saying they are full steam ahead on automating
and robots and all that sort of stuff, and hey,
we got other things employees could do. And I was
listening to a podcast the other day where commentator is
says that's what all employers are going to say. We
will be eliminating jobs. We'll find if they'll be eliminating
jobs like crazy.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with the way Amazon operates in
their distribution centers.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
That's hilarious that he would say that, but it's going
to be true for anybody. I mean, if robots can
replace you, they're going to replace you. And if they
don't need you, they don't need you. And of course
they're not going to announce that ahead of time. Oh yeah,
thousands of people are going to lose their jobs here,
oh tons a couple of months.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Now, go back to work and work hard and don't
steal anything.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I thought it was interesting. ABC News has this headline today.
Artificial intelligence could up end entry level work as recent
college graduates enter the job market, eliminating many positions at
the bottom of the white collar career ladder, or at
least reshaping them. Experts told ABC News, this is an
ongoing story, the fact that it's going to be white
collar jobs. This is one of the big changes in
(14:50):
the technology of AI because everything else that has come
along technologically has eliminated like the bottom end of well,
it's not fair to say bottom, but.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It was the latest, very latest, terrible.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Oftentimes bottom end of the salary spectrum, but also the
you know, the things you do with your hands and
all that sort of stuff. But this is this is
going to be more people that went to college and
wanted to sit in a cubicle and type into a
computer for a living.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Yeah, it's gone from labor saving devices to thinking saving devices,
as simple as that, good.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Way to look at it. We did get one text
I wanted to get on. I'm with Joe fud. This
whole feud with Elon is sad, ridiculous and beyond childish.
I'm disappointed and disgust disgusted by the whole thing. You
and Joe can sit around and be above it all
if you want. I got no other plans this weekend.
I plan to enjoy it as a spectacle and laugh
(15:45):
aloud as it continues to happen.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Yeah, I wish I had the capacity to do that.
I just feel like we're heading toward disaster.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Oh we are.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I'm not claiming we aren't. Yeah, I'm just going to
laugh as we head toward disaster, while you're going to
arch and eyebrow and contemplate it and brood brood away.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Don't leave out the brooding.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
We'll see you the think. Oh, I got another breaking
news thing on this. I suppose I'll hit it just
because it just happened. Robert Costa of the Washington Post
also talked to Trump in a phone conversation.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Just like minutes ago and.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
So high school, both but hurt parties are like talking
to as many people as possible to try to get
them on their side.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I talked to Caitlin and she talked to.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
What's another name, Madison Madison, who's the head cheerleader, and
she is still mad At Alison.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
So that's my report. It is a lot like that.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
In a phone conversation, President Trump told Robert Costa the
Washington Post he's moving forward with his presidency today and
totally focused on policy matters not Musk shrugged off the feud,
brought up the economy, which he cast in a positive light.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
That's all I focus on. No mention of a phone call.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I don't know where you got that political I think
you pulled it out of your buttocks.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Hmmmmm, fascinating. Don't pull stories out of your buttocks.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I think technically speaking, you well, anyway, you can figure
out the rest.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
All right, all right, what do we got coming up?
I'm looking forward to this. I don't have it. I
don't want to ruin it.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
I will say this the aforementioned, probably too often. Elon
Musk at a Twitter poll asking whether Americans thought we
need a new political party for the eighty percent in
the middle. The result was it overwhelming? Yes, I Joe
Getty have begun forming that political party. It is called
the f Y'allickins, and a significant progress has been made.
(17:44):
That's a good name organizing the party. Yeah, and the
y'all and and y'all get this, y'all.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
The other y'all.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
The y'alls that were effing is those who profit from
government and pretend their public servants.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Do we have We're cut the crap. We're not falling
for your scam anymore. Do we have a T shirt
for the the Olicans working on because I will end
jack an anthem, I will oh, I will wear the
T shirt.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I will sing the anthem. So all that all the way,
stay tuned, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Okay, this is moments ago Steve Bannon, who helped get
Trump elected the first time around, on how he should
handle the Elon thing.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
President Trump tonight should sign an executive order calling for
the Defensive Production Act to be called in SpaceX and
seize SpaceX tonight before midnight.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Trump should seize SpaceX before midnight tonight.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
If anybody, first of all, had any doubt whatsoever as
to what Steve Bannon is right, all right, Okay, so
what we're done with that? Yes, Jack, Jack is attempting
to jab me with sharp stick through the cage like
some sort of I don't know. The cruelly displayed ape
in nineteen ten to get me to rage in front
(19:05):
of the people paying a dime each to see me
rage is a poke, poke, exactly exactly as I am
trying to get started our new political party, the f Yoliicans,
because I just you know, the longer I do this job,
the closer I look at Washington, d C.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
The more I have, the less I have any hope
that either party is going to do what's they need
to do. So ef y'all, the f Yoliican Party, the
People's Party.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Well if that sounded kind of communists, can I have
a second take on it? Anyway? So we are working
very hard.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
The reaction to the idea of the f Yoliican Party
has been fantastic, and we are busily designing the T shirts.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
They may be available by the end of the day today.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
I will be wearing them proudly immediately, and Jack two
has pledged to do some absolutely And I don't wear
political t shirts, mostly because I talk about politics for
a living. I generally avoid it in my real life
unless somebody really wants to. But I will wear that
T shirt and importantly enough and this is this is
a major step forward. That would have taken weeks and
(20:17):
many dollars effort, but now it took twenty seconds. Let's see,
this is from Jared. Guys, if you're going to start
a political movement, you need a catchy theme song. I
hired a team of thirteen people to get this put together.
The first time I ever heard you say f Yollickin.
This totally isn't AI. Oh, and I've included album cover
(20:37):
art as well, which also is not AI at all.
That's Jared the actor stuntman who will soon be replaced
by AI. And we have a couple of options. This
one is entitled f Yollickin's Rise.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Up Llilliki Galla break.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Gallic gall.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Why close? But no, no, why not? It doesn't work?
Why is Weezer so mad at our current state of government?
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Yeah, it's now there's too much like dissonance in there.
Now it's gotta be uplifting, uplifting. Let's try this. This
one's entitled The Third Way.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
It's kind of an island feeling like that we're on
side of the same old game.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
They play red team, blue team, same lines every day.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
They promise change, but nothing never.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Moves while we keep picking sides like we got some
to prove the smoke.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
See the show. They run the whole.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Flow, different movement of people who know how to be
gent to the cars Yalli cans we're making free from the.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Stains on what beds tell us we should be Yalli cans?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Which is away not.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Then not by we make got on the Yalli CANSO.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Okay, never mind, We're still looking for an anthem.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
It originally had a bit of a YA feel forgot
to mention that Kanye did tweet out last night, bros.
Please no, we love you both so much. Thank you
Ya for weighing in.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
So Yay, having moved on from jew baiting and wearing
client robes, is now trying to heal the wounds of
our country. Well okay, right in the hood probably, oh,
which reminds me, at the risk of turning this very
very serious, we got another note from somebody who who
saw the report that the Egyptian Jihati Islamo supremacist scumbag
(22:55):
who tried to set fire to a.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Bunch of Jews.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Yes, his attorney is making the rounds saying trying to
deport the family is really reminiscent in Nazi Germany.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Right, No, your clients set fire to Jews. That's the
intent of Nazi you know. Okay, you don't follow.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Maybe we do need to take a second look at
the First Amendment just for saying something.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
That egregiously, horrifically stupid Nazi germanidation.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
So I would, well, uh, I would wear a T
shirt with your party name on it because it's kind
of funny. But the whole political T shirt thing, as
you mentioned, I don't normally wear.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
But I'm all for see.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I don't know what would be an example of a
political T shirt that I might wear or I think
is okay, But a lot of them, I see. You're
basically walking around challenging people. Are you going to say
something about it? Are you going to say something about it?
Or are you just gonna keep your mouth shut?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Who wants to do that with their lives? It's I
want to fight, I want to convince. Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah,
which I get we're all in that mood sometimes I
just I don't think you ought to go around in
that mood all the time, because you know, if you
drop that pretense a little bit and you actually talk
to people and ask them questions, you might be able
to change their mind, I would say, and I said
this with great confidence. I understand. You know, it's funny.
(24:13):
Something just popped into my hand. Long time ago, Jack
and I were talking to a radio executive and this
was I think we were just on one station. This
is years and years and years ago, and we said,
we're looking for a deal where you syndicate us. And
he said, everybody thinks they should be syndicated, and we
both sat there thinking, yeah, but we're right. Well, it's funny.
(24:35):
This is exactly the same sort of thing. Everybody sits
around thinking their political ideas are good. But I'm telling
you fiscal responsibility, protecting individual rights, protecting our borders, understanding
that the United States is a force for good not evil,
those are better ideas.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And so if you.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Maybe take a little less light in putting your thumb
in a lib's eye and drinking their delicious tears, just
being a little bit patient, we have truths on our
side well on a lot of important issues in.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
The particular point of we're going broke.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
That's not even just a good that's a good idea,
like breathing's a good idea. You can't spend more than
you take in. There's an end to that. If you
stop breathing, eventually you turn blue and parish.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Right right, Yeah, I would agree anyway, the Faolikins will
be in favor of all the things I just said.
And the singer boy said not left, not right, or no,
that's not the idea at all. It's and I used
to say this all the time, the great animating battle
of our time is not our versus D. It's P
(25:50):
versus G. It's the people versus the government. And I'm
not talking about forming some milician drilling in the woods.
I'm talking about the people recognizing that every single warning
I hope somebody's transcribing this, this could be one of
my greatest hips. Every single warning the founding fathers gave
us about how power would grow and be abused, and
(26:13):
that the people would end up serving the government instead
of vice versa, all of that is coming true, and
it's getting damn.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Close to the tipping point where there's nothing we can.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Do about it. Less power for the federal government.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
In the screen I retweeted this from some funny person.
The funniest possible outcome is definitely Trump deporting him.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
That would be something sending him back to I checked
his papers.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I only got three hours sleep last night, so I've
got the opportunity to go off on a rant that
makes Elon and Trump seem like Adams and Jefferson. Yes,
in terms of conversation. So I'm hoping for that at
some point when I crack. But we do have more
on the way. I hope you can stay here.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
And finally, two hikers in New York's Adirondack Mountains were
rescued recently after they allegedly called nine to one one
to report that.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Their friend died on the hike.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
But we're actually on hallucinogenic mushrooms and did not have
a third hiker.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
They also didn't.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Have a phone, but we're able to borrow one from
a talking bear.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Is that first part true? It sounded true? Is that really?
Oh God, good dick, you got a dig for that story.
That's fantastic. Wow, that's fantastic. Nuts you took too many shrooms?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Is this fantastic? If you're a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. It
looks like Aaron Rodgers has signed a one year deal
with the Steelers to go take his what take his
old body over there, and surely not to play quarterback.
Be an MVP presence in the locker room or something.
Maybe make sure everybody gets their COVID vaccinations. I don't
know what he's doing there.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I kind of doubt that.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Oh, as long as we're talking about sports, give me
a minute here, because in defending my love of playoff hockey,
I disparaged the NBA and yesterday and I would like to,
by way of apology, play clip fifteen.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
This is the end of a game one of the
NBA Finals last night.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
An upset Pacers, little chance to win it, final seconds,
no fouls to Halliburton, looking, Halliburton driving, holds up jump shot,
bitska quick three cuts with a second roverating time out. Okay,
see Tyres Halliburton does it again.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, just Indiana is ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
They can be down seventy five points and they're still
in the game, upsetting Oklahoma City in Oklahoma City. So
and I was graping about how in basketball you might
as well not even watch the first three quarters, and
because the entire game's fourth quarter blah blah blah, whereas hockey,
you know, the entire game could turn at any moment
in the game.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
So it's very much an edge of your seat experience.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
But I was thinking about Indiana and comebacks because I
used to be a huge basketball fan, including college basketball,
and the thing.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
About basketball is.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Tension builds and can subside and then builds again, and
it builds and builds and builds as comebacks happen. It's
a game of runs, yeah, exactly, and it's I would
actually like to see brain scans of basketball fans and
hockey fans as the game unfolds. It's a different sort
(29:29):
of plot in basketball, but it is very enjoyable. Yeah,
you have to be into the plot to enjoy. It's
like yeah and yeah, yeah, anyway, I agree with you.
So how do you pronounce the guy who runs Google
Sundar Pakai pitchai?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Anyway?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I listened to a long podcast with him. He is
on Lex Friedman's podcast for like three hours yesterday talking
about all kinds of different things, including Ai. So I
got one thing that they brought up. But first, this
from someone who texted me They were in a meeting
yesterday where there was a a University of California student
(30:06):
there talking about how they all use AI to finish
their papers and said specifically, they do a rough draft
then run it through AI to polish it up because
and this is what the person said in the meeting,
Otherwise they would have to look things up and do
multiple drafts and check the sentences were well written.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
And this just saves time. So you do.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Everybody does a rough draft, runs it through AI to
do the hard part. The rough drafts the easy part.
You run it through AI to do the hard part
because you know it would take a lot of time,
and that's just what everybody does.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah, so that doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
No, No, And in a weird way, totally understandable.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
It's probably not great, but it's understandable. In a weird way.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
It might be preparing you for the workplace, because that's
what everything's going to be. I think, Yeah, we're watching
this unfold in real time anyway, Sundar and Lax. If
you've never listened to Lex Friedman's podcast, he has all
these brainiacs on all the time because he's a brainiac
MIT guy, and they always talk for four hours whatever
they do. Pe doom, which I've come across a couple
(31:13):
of times, and he asked, what is your pe doom?
That is the percentage of doom? Where are you on
the doom scale of this technology is going to destroy mankind?
And some people are like ten percent, and there's a
lot of people that are at one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
I'm not sure I'm going to trust Sundar pitch Eie's answer,
but I'm curious to hear it.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Well.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
What I found more most interesting is that he brought
up the pe doom around a number of other things.
It is possible that AI destroys mankind in a number
of different ways, but it's also very possible, in fact likely,
that it stops us from destroying ourselves in some other ways.
(31:57):
And he used the example of like, h a COVID
that could kill off.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
The planet AI.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
The p doom on that on a COVID, but it's
got the death rate of Obola.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
The p doom on that is one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
But AI could figure out the vaccine or how to
contain it right away in the way that human beings
never could.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
That's some really.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Good spin slash logic, Sundar, he didn't get to where
he is accidentally.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That's a great point.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
No, he got into the lowers the pea doom on
maybe fans.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Sorry, before we move on.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
We're helped on the COVID thing by the fact that
Anthony Fauci is increasingly elderly, so he's.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Unlikely real do his greatest hits. Sorry back to you, A.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I will lower the P doom on famines by being
able to come up with, you know, genetically modified crops
and that sort of thing, that this, that and that whatever.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Sure, whatever blight attacks the wheat in Bulgaria, they'll come
up with an.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Antident and maybe even on nuclear spreading, the spreading of
nuclear weapons in a variety way of being able to
keep tracking that.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
So I thought that's kind of interesting.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
While it might kill us off on its own, it
lowers the chances of the P doom, the percentage of
doom on a number of other things.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
I think it's safe to assume that there's already a
rapper named P Doom, and that name has been copyrighted
because it's really really good. Interesting, you should bring this up.
I just saw that Google is throwing millions and millions.
What's the figure. I like to give specific and just
set instead of saying a zillion billion. I think particular
(33:31):
numbers are more interesting. Can't find it, But Google is
investing many millions of dollars in movies Hollywood, movies that
show AI in a more positive vein, show the possibilities
of it, how it can help people find love and happiness.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
That ain't no accident rock.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
No, that's not sunder Pitchi's particular artistic tastes at work.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Yeah, that's something. Uh huh, there's another point. I wonder
what was that just and it was in my mouth.
I was going to say it next and it flitted
out because I'm old and I slept three hours last night.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
That's the other part.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yes, that's bad for your AI ending the world? Is
it going to Google? Little pop back into my head
at some of that? Okay, I already apologize for bad mouthing.
Basket Paul Oh.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Oh Oh, Next Hour a group of stories about Islamism
on the March. It's funny how human beings can is
the is whistled past the graveyard the correct expression they
can or ignore the elephant in the room. This enormous
(34:45):
challenge to modernity, to individual freedom, to Western civilization, that
is Islamic supremism.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It's moved. They are moving forward. Yeah, I want to
talk about that.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yep, I remembered what it was Sundar regular, he says
to himself when things aren't quite what he thought they
would be yet on a number of things, and he
says to other people, I always got to remember that
whatever you're doing with AI, this is the worst it
will ever be right now. It's only going to get better,
which is an interesting way to look at it.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, yeah, that is.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
And it has exponentially gotten better faster than he and
almost anybody predicted. They thought things that were ten years
out have turned out to be one year out so far.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
On a lot of you know, the stuff that we
use to make songs or anything else. So who knows.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Nobody really knows at what point there might be that
might hit a wall of it. It doesn't keep increasing
at the current exponential rate, Nobody knows.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Couldn't AI figure out why it isn't progressing at an
exponential rate and fix it?
Speaker 6 (35:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Ask it?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
And I just think that since interesting juxtaposition talking about
AI in the future and all these complicated things well.
At the same time, an ancient religion wants to take
over the earth and make us live like it's the
year seven hundred and.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Only one religion, only one opinion, only one thought on
government will be permitted under pain of torture or death.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Doesn't sound great to me. I'd like to fight against it.
You read a lot on the way.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
You should grab the podcast if you miss a segment,
subscribe Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty arm Strong

Speaker 2 (00:23):
All of it a sudden shift from Usk, who enthusiastically
campaigned for Trump, the president, suggesting he would have won
in twenty twenty four without the support of the world's
richest man.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I think I would have won, Susie would say, I
would have won Pennsylvania easily anyway.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Minutes later, Musk firing back, writing without me, Trump would
have lost the election.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Such ingratitude, So that's part of it. I'm looking at
the news feeds. Every outlet is leading with this story.
There's a couple of reasons. They are two of the
most powerful men in the world arguing in a hilarious fashion.
But they also, like any sort of high school like
(01:03):
drama about DC.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
The media does often in a way that doesn't matter
to you at all.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
We've got breaking news, but let's hear a little more
on what happened yesterday before we get to the breaking
news on the rift.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
The war words escalating even further, President Trump posting Elon
was wearing thin. I asked him to leave. I took
away his ev mandate and he just went crazy. And
that the easiest way to save money in our budget,
billions and billions of dollars, is to terminate Elon's governmental
subsidies in contracts. Musk then riding time to drop the
really big bomb Trump is in the Epstein files. That
(01:39):
is the real reason they've not been made public. Musk
offered no evidence to back up his accusation, and nothing
made public has implicated Trump, who's denied any involvement in
Epstein's criminal behavior.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, that was a troll.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
That was just that's when you're in an argument and
you're just looking at the closest insult at hand. That
will hurt the other person, right, one of those deals.
So I'll go with this in order. Politico reported really
early this morning breaking White House schedules Friday call for
Elon and Trump. Political had that like in the middle
of the night. Trump and Elon are signaling a more
(02:13):
measured tone after their recent debate over the Big Beautiful Bill.
In an interview with Politico, Trump projected calm, saying it's
going very well. Never been better, in emphasizing his strong
poll numbers, which we mentioned last hour, tariffs, everything else
that's going on. Poll numbers are up for Trump and
a couple of your big major polls. White House aides
have encouraged the President to focus on the bill's passage
(02:35):
and avoid any escalating disagreements with Elon. A call is
scheduled between Trump and Elon to discuss their views further.
Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman urged both men to work
together for the country's benefit. A sentiment Elon, A sentiment
Elon echoed on X Okay. I thought, okay, so even
these two guys calmed down today, they're going to talk
(02:56):
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
D Trump went on Dana Bash's show on CNN. We're
grabbing some vomit it.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Do you have it? Okay, here you go.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
And then I went back to the question about Elon Musk.
Will you be able to focus on that and bury
the hatchet with Elon. I'm not even thinking about Elon,
is how the President responded. And then he said he's
got a problem. The poor guy's got a problem. And
then I said, no call with Elon right now. No,
I won't be speaking to him for a while, I guess,
(03:26):
but I wish him well.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So she didn't have him on, but she interviewed him
or talked to him on the phone. But so he
told Political, I mean the way that reads his Political
heard from him, and he told Political they're going to
have a phone call. Well Political is reporting there was
a phone call scheduled. I don't know who started that rumor.
CNN's saying, you know, we just talked to him.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
He said, I want to be talking to Elon for
a while.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
The New York Post is reporting that Trump is going
to get rid of his red Tesla s that Elon
gave him on the lawn. I don't think it was
a plaid if Elon really liked me to give him
the plat not just the base model, but I kind
of hurt.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
It's the super fast one, not literally plaid.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, it's from the movie space Balls, which I've never seen,
which is a very Elon thing to do. So Trump's
giving back the Tesla. And so I woke up to
this just going through some of my news sources. It
was all about calmed down, reconciliation and everything like that.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
But then I got into some of the later.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Tweets from from Elon on his own platform. Late last night,
he retweeted the relationship between Trump and Epstein is well established,
with a couple of links and then a video Elon
with a I don't know what that emoji is a grimace. Oh,
it's an eyebrow raised Elon with an eyebrow raised emoji
(04:47):
at a nineteen ninety two Trump dancing with a bunch
of young women at an Epstein party. So that was
late last night. I don't know where any of this
talk of it calming down. Were other people hoping that
and if they claimed it was calming down, that Trump
and Elon would go along with that narrative or what.
I definitely think there were a lot of people who
(05:07):
had that sentiment.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, including me. I've got to admit I'm having trouble.
This is a confession.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
This is we used to have theme music for this,
or announcer saying straight from Joe's ticker, this is straight
for my ticker. I'm having a lot of trouble enjoying
this because to have.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Even at the beginning yesterday, at the beginning, you know,
I enjoyed that thoroughly.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Oh yeah, completely, Yeah, I gotta admit I was on
one level. But it is disturbing that again, we can
have mercurial manchild magnates running various companies. It's odd. The
shareholders are probably freaked out. There are jobs and dollars
(05:51):
at stake, but we'll all be okay. I've got to
admit I'm having trouble having fun with this because the
president is.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So mercurial and undisciplined.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
I just I don't think it's going to lead to
good things for the country I saw, so I'm having
trouble enjoying it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I saw an historian Mark Halpern's podcast yesterday who said
that Henry Ford went to visit Woodrow Wilson in the
White House and they had an argument and Woodrow Wilson
kicked him out of the White House, very similar sort
of thing, and then Henry Pork turned on him hard and.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Said all kinds of things.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
But I think, well, let's if I recall correctly, Lyndon
Baines Johnson got into it hardcore with Betty Crocker as well, screaming,
match throwing dishes. It's terrible, terrible, So where's this matters part?
Can you play out how this matters as opposed to
(06:47):
its just kind of interesting soap opera stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Yeah, everybody's gone hardcore, all the mainstream media into who's risky,
who could lose what in this race? And you know,
in terms of dollars and and well financial concerns, Elon
is very, very vulnerable given the government policies, whether subsidies
contract well, if Trump regulations, etc. That if Trump decided
(07:13):
to pull those levers, that could be enormously damaging for
Elon and his companies.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
At a shareholder, that would be huge. Would that be historic?
If the president what is that called? It wouldn't be
a law, I would be an executive action or something
like that? Was it? When you when you're a bill
of attainer when you go after one person in particular,
I mean Trump trying to hurt one person because he's
mad at them.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Yeah, altering US policy, US expenditures, regulations, the rest of
it out of but heardedness or a personal conflict.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, I think that would be terrible.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Now, all these articles I'm talking about say, on the
downside for Trump, Elon Musk and his wealth and his
media influence and X and his millions of followers, that
could make it harder in the midterms. He could primary people.
It's all like political downside.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I don't know how much Elon cares about some of
I don't think he cares that much about his person
personal wealth. I honestly he does either because it's ginormous.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
It is so large.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
As long as he stays in reasonably good health, he'll
continue to come up with ideas and companies and press forward.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Well, he's got pinned at the top Elon does of
his Twitter feed, which has two hundred and twenty one
million followers.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
That's a stunning number.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Is it time to create a new political party in
America that actually represents the eighty percent in the middle? Yes,
eighty one percent? No, nineteen percent. Now that's on his
own Twitter feed. Although I'll bet there's a lot of
people that don't particularly dig Elon or going to his
Twitter feed to see what he has to say, I
would think sure.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
And for the record, by the way, I've been critical
of Trump in this because he is the president of
the United States of America. For what it's worth, Elon
has been a childish and idiotic and unfocused.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
He ought to just focus on the debt thing.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
If he had just said, look my gripe with the
beautiful bill.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The uh the what do you call it?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Why can't I the discossation part disgusting? The problem with
the disgusting abomination is that it continues to spend us
into financial oblivion.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I can't back it.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
If he had just hung with that message, right, But
Trump went personal on and Elon, Elon had to go
personal with Trump, and again it's it's just a big
diaper blowout.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Well, speaking of the loathesome pos.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Bill, like a lot of the stuff that Elon has
been retweeting overnight in this morning.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Do any of these people sleep ever? Oh yeah, I know.
I was thinking the same thing.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
But Elon tweeted out another like think tank guy talking
about how we now pay one point two billion dollars
in just interest on the debt and this is not
the sort of thing that peacetime countries do.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
This is wartime level deficits. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So he care I think, I think he belie leaves
as a business guy.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
This is unsustainable.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Why don't we grow up and recognize that something needs
to happen. He's one hundred percent right about that, right, Yeah, yeah,
I got a little more on that after this, You know,
that moment at night when you're locking up, turning off
the lights and you just want to feel completely safe
before heading to bed, you and your loved ones.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's what Simon Safe gives you.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I'm in my footy pajamas, I got a glass of
warm milk and a cookie.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
That's just fantastic. Brush your teeth or you're to have
them decaytering the night. Most security systems only take action
after someone breaks in.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
That's too late.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Simply Safe new Active Guard Outdoor protection helps stop the
break ins before they happen.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Hey, by the way, I didn't see this named best
Home security system of twenty twenty five by CNET.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's cool.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Four million Americans already trust Simply Safe. I'm one of them.
I like driving away from my home knowing that the
live guard protection and the cameras and the sensors and
all that sort of stuff, you're.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Going to catch the bad guys. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
The Active Guard Outdoor Protection is amazing. AI powered cameras,
live monitoring agents detect suspicious activity around your property. If
somebody's lurking oooching about, agents can talk to them, turn
on the spotlights, call the cops before the crime occurs.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
It's amazing.
Speaker 5 (11:10):

Speaker 3 (11:29):
It was Jesse Waters on Fox yesterday saying the media
said that Musk was co president. Remember that period, the
media said Trump was doing favors for Elon and it's
all just to that's why it's an oligarchy. Well, if
you look at the big, beautiful build, there's no favors
in it for Elon Musk at all.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
So so much for that.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Before the falling out, right, Yeah, it's as if they're
lying dopes in the mainstream media.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Elon did state to the Trump tariffs will cause a
recession in the second half of the year and then
it's a terrible idea, and then re tweeted somebody talking
about how stupid the tariffs are.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
And this was late last night.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I don't know where did the I need to go
back and find where did the headlines come from? Elon Reconciliation,
both of them calming down, it doesn't sound like it
to me.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Well, I think that's because every single tweet or truth
or whatever the hell spawned a new round of headlines,
and so there was a bit of a hey, let's
lower the temperature moment, and they rushed a bunch of
headlines out. Then they were contradicted three minutes later. For
what it's worth, Trump aid. Stephen Miller backed his boss's
bill on a post today on x Twitter. The Reconciliation
(12:38):
bill cuts taxes, seals the border, and reforms welfare.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It is not a spending bill. There is no pork.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
It is the campaign agenda codified Steven Miller claiming there's
no pork in the bill.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Good lord, Umm, well, we got to take a break.
I got some other commentary around this we'll get to later.
And I have a feeling more is going to happen.
And while we're on the air, I mean Trump is
getting rid of the Tesla. I can see Trump out
on the lawn with a sledgehammer bashing the tesla for
the cameras, right.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Go ahead, And.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Then I could see Elon hiring the guy who plays
Trump on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Live and doing his skitt in his office. Now you
got my attention. More on the way stay here.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
I will be unabashedly proud that we aim to eliminate
every menial, mundane, and repetitive job out there. We want
to eliminate that, and if it's repetitive, we want to
automate that because we will never run out of things
to do for our employees. We want them to focus
on higher level tasks. People are amazing at using common
sense and reasoning and understanding complex problems like.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Why would you not use that?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
That's Amazon saying they are full steam ahead on automating
and robots and all that sort of stuff, and hey,
we got other things employees could do. And I was
listening to a podcast the other day where commentator is
says that's what all employers are going to say. We
will be eliminating jobs. We'll find if they'll be eliminating
jobs like crazy.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with the way Amazon operates in
their distribution centers.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
That's hilarious that he would say that, but it's going
to be true for anybody. I mean, if robots can
replace you, they're going to replace you. And if they
don't need you, they don't need you. And of course
they're not going to announce that ahead of time. Oh yeah,
thousands of people are going to lose their jobs here,
oh tons a couple of months.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Now, go back to work and work hard and don't
steal anything.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I thought it was interesting. ABC News has this headline today.
Artificial intelligence could up end entry level work as recent
college graduates enter the job market, eliminating many positions at
the bottom of the white collar career ladder, or at
least reshaping them. Experts told ABC News, this is an
ongoing story, the fact that it's going to be white
collar jobs. This is one of the big changes in
(14:50):
the technology of AI because everything else that has come
along technologically has eliminated like the bottom end of well,
it's not fair to say bottom, but.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It was the latest, very latest, terrible.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Oftentimes bottom end of the salary spectrum, but also the
you know, the things you do with your hands and
all that sort of stuff. But this is this is
going to be more people that went to college and
wanted to sit in a cubicle and type into a
computer for a living.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Yeah, it's gone from labor saving devices to thinking saving devices,
as simple as that, good.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Way to look at it. We did get one text
I wanted to get on. I'm with Joe fud. This
whole feud with Elon is sad, ridiculous and beyond childish.
I'm disappointed and disgust disgusted by the whole thing. You
and Joe can sit around and be above it all
if you want. I got no other plans this weekend.
I plan to enjoy it as a spectacle and laugh
(15:45):
aloud as it continues to happen.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Yeah, I wish I had the capacity to do that.
I just feel like we're heading toward disaster.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Oh we are.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I'm not claiming we aren't. Yeah, I'm just going to
laugh as we head toward disaster, while you're going to
arch and eyebrow and contemplate it and brood brood away.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Don't leave out the brooding.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
We'll see you the think. Oh, I got another breaking
news thing on this. I suppose I'll hit it just
because it just happened. Robert Costa of the Washington Post
also talked to Trump in a phone conversation.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Just like minutes ago and.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
So high school, both but hurt parties are like talking
to as many people as possible to try to get
them on their side.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I talked to Caitlin and she talked to.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
What's another name, Madison Madison, who's the head cheerleader, and
she is still mad At Alison.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
So that's my report. It is a lot like that.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
In a phone conversation, President Trump told Robert Costa the
Washington Post he's moving forward with his presidency today and
totally focused on policy matters not Musk shrugged off the feud,
brought up the economy, which he cast in a positive light.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
That's all I focus on. No mention of a phone call.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I don't know where you got that political I think
you pulled it out of your buttocks.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Hmmmmm, fascinating. Don't pull stories out of your buttocks.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I think technically speaking, you well, anyway, you can figure
out the rest.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
All right, all right, what do we got coming up?
I'm looking forward to this. I don't have it. I
don't want to ruin it.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
I will say this the aforementioned, probably too often. Elon
Musk at a Twitter poll asking whether Americans thought we
need a new political party for the eighty percent in
the middle. The result was it overwhelming? Yes, I Joe
Getty have begun forming that political party. It is called
the f Y'allickins, and a significant progress has been made.
(17:44):
That's a good name organizing the party. Yeah, and the
y'all and and y'all get this, y'all.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
The other y'all.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
The y'alls that were effing is those who profit from
government and pretend their public servants.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Do we have We're cut the crap. We're not falling
for your scam anymore. Do we have a T shirt
for the the Olicans working on because I will end
jack an anthem, I will oh, I will wear the
T shirt.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I will sing the anthem. So all that all the way,
stay tuned, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Okay, this is moments ago Steve Bannon, who helped get
Trump elected the first time around, on how he should
handle the Elon thing.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
President Trump tonight should sign an executive order calling for
the Defensive Production Act to be called in SpaceX and
seize SpaceX tonight before midnight.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Trump should seize SpaceX before midnight tonight.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
If anybody, first of all, had any doubt whatsoever as
to what Steve Bannon is right, all right, Okay, so
what we're done with that? Yes, Jack, Jack is attempting
to jab me with sharp stick through the cage like
some sort of I don't know. The cruelly displayed ape
in nineteen ten to get me to rage in front
(19:05):
of the people paying a dime each to see me
rage is a poke, poke, exactly exactly as I am
trying to get started our new political party, the f Yoliicans,
because I just you know, the longer I do this job,
the closer I look at Washington, d C.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
The more I have, the less I have any hope
that either party is going to do what's they need
to do. So ef y'all, the f Yoliican Party, the
People's Party.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Well if that sounded kind of communists, can I have
a second take on it? Anyway? So we are working
very hard.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
The reaction to the idea of the f Yoliican Party
has been fantastic, and we are busily designing the T shirts.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
They may be available by the end of the day today.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
I will be wearing them proudly immediately, and Jack two
has pledged to do some absolutely And I don't wear
political t shirts, mostly because I talk about politics for
a living. I generally avoid it in my real life
unless somebody really wants to. But I will wear that
T shirt and importantly enough and this is this is
a major step forward. That would have taken weeks and
(20:17):
many dollars effort, but now it took twenty seconds. Let's see,
this is from Jared. Guys, if you're going to start
a political movement, you need a catchy theme song. I
hired a team of thirteen people to get this put together.
The first time I ever heard you say f Yollickin.
This totally isn't AI. Oh, and I've included album cover
(20:37):
art as well, which also is not AI at all.
That's Jared the actor stuntman who will soon be replaced
by AI. And we have a couple of options. This
one is entitled f Yollickin's Rise.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Up Llilliki Galla break.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Gallic gall.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Why close? But no, no, why not? It doesn't work?
Why is Weezer so mad at our current state of government?
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Yeah, it's now there's too much like dissonance in there.
Now it's gotta be uplifting, uplifting. Let's try this. This
one's entitled The Third Way.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
It's kind of an island feeling like that we're on
side of the same old game.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
They play red team, blue team, same lines every day.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
They promise change, but nothing never.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Moves while we keep picking sides like we got some
to prove the smoke.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
See the show. They run the whole.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Flow, different movement of people who know how to be
gent to the cars Yalli cans we're making free from the.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Stains on what beds tell us we should be Yalli cans?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Which is away not.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Then not by we make got on the Yalli CANSO.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Okay, never mind, We're still looking for an anthem.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
It originally had a bit of a YA feel forgot
to mention that Kanye did tweet out last night, bros.
Please no, we love you both so much. Thank you
Ya for weighing in.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
So Yay, having moved on from jew baiting and wearing
client robes, is now trying to heal the wounds of
our country. Well okay, right in the hood probably, oh,
which reminds me, at the risk of turning this very
very serious, we got another note from somebody who who
saw the report that the Egyptian Jihati Islamo supremacist scumbag
(22:55):
who tried to set fire to a.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Bunch of Jews.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Yes, his attorney is making the rounds saying trying to
deport the family is really reminiscent in Nazi Germany.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Right, No, your clients set fire to Jews. That's the
intent of Nazi you know. Okay, you don't follow.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Maybe we do need to take a second look at
the First Amendment just for saying something.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
That egregiously, horrifically stupid Nazi germanidation.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
So I would, well, uh, I would wear a T
shirt with your party name on it because it's kind
of funny. But the whole political T shirt thing, as
you mentioned, I don't normally wear.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
But I'm all for see.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I don't know what would be an example of a
political T shirt that I might wear or I think
is okay, But a lot of them, I see. You're
basically walking around challenging people. Are you going to say
something about it? Are you going to say something about it?
Or are you just gonna keep your mouth shut?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Who wants to do that with their lives? It's I
want to fight, I want to convince. Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah,
which I get we're all in that mood sometimes I
just I don't think you ought to go around in
that mood all the time, because you know, if you
drop that pretense a little bit and you actually talk
to people and ask them questions, you might be able
to change their mind, I would say, and I said
this with great confidence. I understand. You know, it's funny.
(24:13):
Something just popped into my hand. Long time ago, Jack
and I were talking to a radio executive and this
was I think we were just on one station. This
is years and years and years ago, and we said,
we're looking for a deal where you syndicate us. And
he said, everybody thinks they should be syndicated, and we
both sat there thinking, yeah, but we're right. Well, it's funny.
(24:35):
This is exactly the same sort of thing. Everybody sits
around thinking their political ideas are good. But I'm telling
you fiscal responsibility, protecting individual rights, protecting our borders, understanding
that the United States is a force for good not evil,
those are better ideas.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And so if you.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Maybe take a little less light in putting your thumb
in a lib's eye and drinking their delicious tears, just
being a little bit patient, we have truths on our
side well on a lot of important issues in.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
The particular point of we're going broke.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
That's not even just a good that's a good idea,
like breathing's a good idea. You can't spend more than
you take in. There's an end to that. If you
stop breathing, eventually you turn blue and parish.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Right right, Yeah, I would agree anyway, the Faolikins will
be in favor of all the things I just said.
And the singer boy said not left, not right, or no,
that's not the idea at all. It's and I used
to say this all the time, the great animating battle
of our time is not our versus D. It's P
(25:50):
versus G. It's the people versus the government. And I'm
not talking about forming some milician drilling in the woods.
I'm talking about the people recognizing that every single warning
I hope somebody's transcribing this, this could be one of
my greatest hips. Every single warning the founding fathers gave
us about how power would grow and be abused, and
(26:13):
that the people would end up serving the government instead
of vice versa, all of that is coming true, and
it's getting damn.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Close to the tipping point where there's nothing we can.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Do about it. Less power for the federal government.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
In the screen I retweeted this from some funny person.
The funniest possible outcome is definitely Trump deporting him.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
That would be something sending him back to I checked
his papers.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I only got three hours sleep last night, so I've
got the opportunity to go off on a rant that
makes Elon and Trump seem like Adams and Jefferson. Yes,
in terms of conversation. So I'm hoping for that at
some point when I crack. But we do have more
on the way. I hope you can stay here.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
And finally, two hikers in New York's Adirondack Mountains were
rescued recently after they allegedly called nine to one one
to report that.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Their friend died on the hike.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
But we're actually on hallucinogenic mushrooms and did not have
a third hiker.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
They also didn't.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Have a phone, but we're able to borrow one from
a talking bear.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Is that first part true? It sounded true? Is that really?
Oh God, good dick, you got a dig for that story.
That's fantastic. Wow, that's fantastic. Nuts you took too many shrooms?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Is this fantastic? If you're a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. It
looks like Aaron Rodgers has signed a one year deal
with the Steelers to go take his what take his
old body over there, and surely not to play quarterback.
Be an MVP presence in the locker room or something.
Maybe make sure everybody gets their COVID vaccinations. I don't
know what he's doing there.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I kind of doubt that.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Oh, as long as we're talking about sports, give me
a minute here, because in defending my love of playoff hockey,
I disparaged the NBA and yesterday and I would like to,
by way of apology, play clip fifteen.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
This is the end of a game one of the
NBA Finals last night.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
An upset Pacers, little chance to win it, final seconds,
no fouls to Halliburton, looking, Halliburton driving, holds up jump shot,
bitska quick three cuts with a second roverating time out. Okay,
see Tyres Halliburton does it again.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, just Indiana is ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
They can be down seventy five points and they're still
in the game, upsetting Oklahoma City in Oklahoma City. So
and I was graping about how in basketball you might
as well not even watch the first three quarters, and
because the entire game's fourth quarter blah blah blah, whereas hockey,
you know, the entire game could turn at any moment
in the game.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
So it's very much an edge of your seat experience.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
But I was thinking about Indiana and comebacks because I
used to be a huge basketball fan, including college basketball,
and the thing.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
About basketball is.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Tension builds and can subside and then builds again, and
it builds and builds and builds as comebacks happen. It's
a game of runs, yeah, exactly, and it's I would
actually like to see brain scans of basketball fans and
hockey fans as the game unfolds. It's a different sort
(29:29):
of plot in basketball, but it is very enjoyable. Yeah,
you have to be into the plot to enjoy. It's
like yeah and yeah, yeah, anyway, I agree with you.
So how do you pronounce the guy who runs Google
Sundar Pakai pitchai?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Anyway?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I listened to a long podcast with him. He is
on Lex Friedman's podcast for like three hours yesterday talking
about all kinds of different things, including Ai. So I
got one thing that they brought up. But first, this
from someone who texted me They were in a meeting
yesterday where there was a a University of California student
(30:06):
there talking about how they all use AI to finish
their papers and said specifically, they do a rough draft
then run it through AI to polish it up because
and this is what the person said in the meeting,
Otherwise they would have to look things up and do
multiple drafts and check the sentences were well written.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
And this just saves time. So you do.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Everybody does a rough draft, runs it through AI to
do the hard part. The rough drafts the easy part.
You run it through AI to do the hard part
because you know it would take a lot of time,
and that's just what everybody does.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah, so that doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
No, No, And in a weird way, totally understandable.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
It's probably not great, but it's understandable. In a weird way.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
It might be preparing you for the workplace, because that's
what everything's going to be. I think, Yeah, we're watching
this unfold in real time anyway, Sundar and Lax. If
you've never listened to Lex Friedman's podcast, he has all
these brainiacs on all the time because he's a brainiac
MIT guy, and they always talk for four hours whatever
they do. Pe doom, which I've come across a couple
(31:13):
of times, and he asked, what is your pe doom?
That is the percentage of doom? Where are you on
the doom scale of this technology is going to destroy mankind?
And some people are like ten percent, and there's a
lot of people that are at one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
I'm not sure I'm going to trust Sundar pitch Eie's answer,
but I'm curious to hear it.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Well.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
What I found more most interesting is that he brought
up the pe doom around a number of other things.
It is possible that AI destroys mankind in a number
of different ways, but it's also very possible, in fact likely,
that it stops us from destroying ourselves in some other ways.
(31:57):
And he used the example of like, h a COVID
that could kill off.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
The planet AI.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
The p doom on that on a COVID, but it's
got the death rate of Obola.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
The p doom on that is one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
But AI could figure out the vaccine or how to
contain it right away in the way that human beings
never could.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
That's some really.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Good spin slash logic, Sundar, he didn't get to where
he is accidentally.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That's a great point.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
No, he got into the lowers the pea doom on
maybe fans.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Sorry, before we move on.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
We're helped on the COVID thing by the fact that
Anthony Fauci is increasingly elderly, so he's.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Unlikely real do his greatest hits. Sorry back to you, A.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I will lower the P doom on famines by being
able to come up with, you know, genetically modified crops
and that sort of thing, that this, that and that whatever.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Sure, whatever blight attacks the wheat in Bulgaria, they'll come
up with an.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Antident and maybe even on nuclear spreading, the spreading of
nuclear weapons in a variety way of being able to
keep tracking that.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
So I thought that's kind of interesting.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
While it might kill us off on its own, it
lowers the chances of the P doom, the percentage of
doom on a number of other things.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
I think it's safe to assume that there's already a
rapper named P Doom, and that name has been copyrighted
because it's really really good. Interesting, you should bring this up.
I just saw that Google is throwing millions and millions.
What's the figure. I like to give specific and just
set instead of saying a zillion billion. I think particular
(33:31):
numbers are more interesting. Can't find it, But Google is
investing many millions of dollars in movies Hollywood, movies that
show AI in a more positive vein, show the possibilities
of it, how it can help people find love and happiness.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
That ain't no accident rock.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
No, that's not sunder Pitchi's particular artistic tastes at work.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Yeah, that's something. Uh huh, there's another point. I wonder
what was that just and it was in my mouth.
I was going to say it next and it flitted
out because I'm old and I slept three hours last night.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
That's the other part.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yes, that's bad for your AI ending the world? Is
it going to Google? Little pop back into my head
at some of that? Okay, I already apologize for bad mouthing.
Basket Paul Oh.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Oh Oh, Next Hour a group of stories about Islamism
on the March. It's funny how human beings can is
the is whistled past the graveyard the correct expression they
can or ignore the elephant in the room. This enormous
(34:45):
challenge to modernity, to individual freedom, to Western civilization, that
is Islamic supremism.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It's moved. They are moving forward. Yeah, I want to
talk about that.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yep, I remembered what it was Sundar regular, he says
to himself when things aren't quite what he thought they
would be yet on a number of things, and he
says to other people, I always got to remember that
whatever you're doing with AI, this is the worst it
will ever be right now. It's only going to get better,
which is an interesting way to look at it.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, yeah, that is.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
And it has exponentially gotten better faster than he and
almost anybody predicted. They thought things that were ten years
out have turned out to be one year out so far.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
On a lot of you know, the stuff that we
use to make songs or anything else. So who knows.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Nobody really knows at what point there might be that
might hit a wall of it. It doesn't keep increasing
