Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong
and Getty and He Armstrong and Eddy not speaking that Sweet,
(00:25):
I'm making from Republican.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Who was.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Very she's a registered Republican. Oh now, I love her head?
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
As Sidney Sweet, you'd be surprised at how many people
are Republicans. That's what I wouldn't have known. But I'm
glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a
registered Republican, I think her head is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Trump understands that better than anybody.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
He understands sound bites, so he'll like, he gets information
like that and he thinks, Okay, here's the sound bite
Sydney's Sweeney being a ra I.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Mean he repeats.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
That's one of the reasons he repeats things, so that
there is the sound bite for everybody to grab on
whatever topic.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's very clever.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
But yeah, well, it's surprising any young actresses is a Republican.
Surprising a young person really is, But she is? And
when when whatever the name of this Jean's American Eagle
or whatever they are, Jeans contacted her agent and said,
would she like to do a Gene ad? We'll pay her.
(01:34):
What do you suppose she made doing that? Just a
guess half million dollars too much, probably less at least,
oh at least that. Oh really, I don't have any
I don't have any idea, but okay, So the Jeans
people call her up and say, we'll give you two
million dollars to be a represented for the gene school.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Where do we sign?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And she goes and she does the shoot probably took
two hours, with.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Makeup, the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
She had no idea that this is going to turn
her life upside down maybe forever. She might not get
roles in TV shows and movies because of this, because
it's too controversial now, especially now that she's it's known
that she's a registered Republican. Uh in fact, not probably guaranteed.
(02:20):
There are shows that she would have liked to have
been on Netflix, series or whatever that she won't get
because it's not worth stepping in it.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
For the liberal left. I wonder she has no idea.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That that that was going to happen when she decided
to do a Genes commercial, which generally you never hear
about well, you.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Know, this is an interesting question that I want to
consider for just a second. The reaction among like every
sane person in America has been this so called backlash
is stupid and nobody thinks like that, and the left
or just be clowning themselves better than ever. But you
think that the hardcore left in Hollywood will still think, Yeah,
(03:03):
but she's tainted now by your association.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Absolutely, they just said, just be a We've got two
attractive blonds could do this role roughly the same.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Why the headache? Why take on the headache? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I don't think so. I think she's bigger than that.
I think it comes the other it comes out the
other way.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
But I hope so, because it would suck for her
to have her career affected by this in any way.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I mean, the controversy is ridiculous to start with, but
then like attaching.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It to her is even dumber.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Oh yeah, anyway, So a number of people made comparisons
last week to an appearance jd Vance made on a
podcast and the appearance that Kamala Harris made on The
Colbert Show. I was watching Mark Alprin's video cast over
the weekend in which they thought he is nonpartisan and
(03:54):
then he has a Republican and a Democrat as sidekicks.
All three of them thought Kamala was horrible on Colbert
in a way that I didn't quite pick up on
the time. Specifically, she's had six months to figure out
how to answer a couple of things, and she still
seemed to be like you could see your wheels spinning
figuring out how.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
To answer what what?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
You don't have a practice to answer for politics today,
or you're rolling in or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
It seemed like.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Anyway, Jad, that was like, you know, back on the view,
what would you do differently than Biden? Oh h gosh,
well you really pinned me down on the die.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I hadn't anticipated that question.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, she was like that on Colbert after six months
of probably thinking about running for president anyway, j d
vance completely different level of talent, and by the way,
on Mark Alpert's podcast with the Republican Democrat and Halpern
all think he is far and away the most likely
nominee for the Republicans and likely the next president that
(05:00):
because he is so good in getting better. Here's him
talking about to Sidney Sweeney situation on a podcast over
the weekend.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
My political advice to the Democrats is continue to tell
everybody who thinks Sidney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
That appears to be their actual strategy.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
And I mean it actually reveals something pretty interesting about
the Dems, though, which is that you have like a normal,
all American, beautiful girl during doing like a normal genes ad. Right,
they're trying to sell, you know, sell jeans to kids
in America, and they have managed to so unhinge themselves
over this thing. And it's like, you, guys, did you
(05:36):
learn nothing from the November twenty twenty four election. Like
I actually thought that one of the lessons they might
take is we're going to be less crazy. The lesson
they have apparently taken is we're going to attack people
as Nazis for thinking Sidney Sweeney is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Great strategy, guys, That's how you're going to learn the
mid terms.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
How much more comfortable is he in his own skin?
The person who is most comfortable in their own skin
is a person who genly wins elections. I don't think
his opponent's going to be Kamala Harris. I don't think
you'll even get to Iowa. But he is he is
pretty good. I was thinking about.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
This the other day.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I was listening to some fellows discuss Kamala Harris's prospects
going forward, and they are miserable. They don't exist, they're
they're terrible. Nobody is impressed by her. She's a loser
and a dope, But you're a dope.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
That's talk.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
She is continually cited as a favorite. She topped the
recent completely meaningless name recognition Democrat poll. And it occurred
to me, as I was strolling along listening to this,
that there is there, and nobody ever talked about this.
There is a designation in the political world of a
person who must be taken seriously. And it doesn't matter
(06:48):
if in Kamala Harris's case, for instance, if she was
an appointed this Willie Brown's girlfriend anointed the attorney general
in a one party state, a DEI higher for vice
president after she washed out completely of the primaries. I mean,
it was a humiliating defeat. But in spite of all
that losing, because Joe Biden plucked her to be the veep,
(07:10):
she is a person who should be taken seriously. In
the defiance of all logic, she's nothing, she will do nothing.
She has gone forget her back.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
To the Blue gene ad and what Jade Vance was
talking about, their lesson seems to have been that they
learned is let's go further in wolkness.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I would put it. Meanwhile, back at the third Reich.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Bill Maher on his show Friday Night said, and an
other uncomfortable racial news, sad news. We found out this
week that Sidney Sweeney is a Nazi, and of course
everybody laughed, No, she's not. But if you've seen the
ad we're showing it now, she's dressed like Jay Leno.
That's just a good point, which I thought was funny.
And then he recites the line about the blue eyes
(07:49):
and I have good jeens and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
He said.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It also doesn't help that her bras Eyze is thirty
six KKK.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
That's a funny lie.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
And that the name that she gave her boo is
the Proud Boys.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Wow, that's some good riffing, he said.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It's also like, it's pretty funny that all the online
social justice girls are like, it's racist, there's no such
thing as good jeans. And then you go on Tinder
and swipe left on every bald guy, which is hurtful
to me.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Of course that's true.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
So any comment on jeans as white supremacy, bad jeans,
bad jeans, bad jeans, as he swiped through all the guys,
that is pretty funny. By the way, American Eagle stock
rose more than ten percent last week.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Sidney Sweeney has not made a comment at all, although
somebody did get out that voting information, which I don't
think does her life any favors. Joe doesn't think it'll
hurt her. I hope it doesn't. How she votes shouldn't
make any difference anybody. And Donald Trump has another truth
out today about this topic. Sidney Sweeney, a registered Republican,
has the hottest in all caps add out there. It's
(08:55):
for American Eagle and the jeans are flying off the
shelves in all caps. Go get them, Sidney. On the
other side of the Ledger, jaguared in a stupid and
seriously woke advertisement that is a disaster. The CEO just
resigned and the companies in turmoil. And he goes through
a number of other examples with bud Light and that
sort of stuff. So right, Trump, recognizing where you know,
(09:16):
there's a little fire that he can jump into and
make some hay with.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
All right, here's my favorite comment comes from this journalist
by the name of Charlie Wartzell, who was writing in
the Atlantic. And just as a little background, Warzel used
to work at the New York Times, where he sobbed
like a little girl during the emergency staff meeting, remember
the mallet excuse me, maoist struggle session over whether the
(09:43):
paper should publish that op ed by Tom Cotton.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You remember how that caused that.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Just a uproar within the paper that a sitting US
senator would write an editorial in which he turned out
to be completely correct, But it just tore their woke
newsroom apart. But anyway, during the meeting over that, Wartzell
is crying like a baby.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Baby.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Wartzell was upset because quote, none of my friends want
to talk to me anymore because I worked for this horrible,
evil newspaper. So anyway, here's this, this you need new friends,
This half a man child now writing for the Atlantic.
Let's see, he was attempting to write, I'm going to
quote Andrew Styles now of the Free Beacon. He was
(10:32):
attempting to write a cerebral lamentation about how quote the
discourse is broken or whatever, while insisting the criticism of
the ad campaign makes sense because of, you know, all
the racism out there. Wartzel's rhetoric really shines when analyzing
the political implications of hiring Swedey to sell jeans.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Quote.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Her image has been co opted by the right, accurately
or not, in part because of where she's from, the
Mountain West, and some of her hobbies fixing cars.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Even her knew any of this, none of it, and
don't care.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Even her figure has become a cultural stand in for
the idea published and pushed by conservative commentators that Americans
should be free to love boobs.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
What I know.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I know, even her figure has become a cultural stand
in for the idea pushed by conservative commentators that Americans
should be free to love boobs.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
So that's kind of interesting that to kind of go
with like being curvy as a right wing thing. Because
the New York Times had an op ed piece I
was going to get to later why the right is
obsessed with thinness when diet culture meets conservative morality. That
is one of the dumbest things I've ever read.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
In my life.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
It's as if they're using some sort of AI powered
random fake aggrievement headline generator.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Are you people serious?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I know what's it like to live your life like that,
constantly looking for some excuse to bellow about somebody else
being you know, unenlightened.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
We will get to that later.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
How the right is obsessed with thinness and it's somehow
white supremacy or awful or something when Obestie's one of
the biggest problems we've got in America. But what did
you say we're doing? We got something.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
This campus madness update coming, oh so much madness, oh goodness.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And a bunch of other stuff. Stay here, armstrong.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
The World Swimming Championships, the US saved it's best for last.
The women's four by one hundred med League team broke
its own world record in today's final race in Singapore.
Reagan Smith, Kate Douglas, Gretchen Walsh and Tory Husk bested
the old mark by twenty nine hundredths of a second.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
And getting ready for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles
next summer, I think, so, sach right, Yeah, maybe I'll
look at that number, dear, I'll look that that's why Americans.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Don't care about global warming. If the oceans cover of
the Earth, we're the best swimmers. It's fine.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Speaking of the world of sports, maybe an hour four
we'll get to a lawyer believes Caitlin Clark has a
serious civil rights case against the WNBA if she wants
to make it.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I doubt she does.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
But that's interesting because she's getting the hell beat out
of her night after night, and they hit us with
some of the statistics, and it's undeniable and it's almost
never called. And it's because of race, and if not race,
sexuality or both.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
So anyway, Summer Olympics in Los Angeles are in twenty
twenty eight. Oh, we got a compangners the Summer Olympics.
I peaked too.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Early in my training. I thought it was next year.
Dang it.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
So speaking of swimming, Oh, we don't have much time.
We're talking about this sort of person who actually tries
to get offended by the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad and
talks about eugenics and the rest of it and what
they're like. Katie had this headline like a week ago.
I was intrigued enough that I dug into it. Yes,
(14:00):
ful World, Mermaiding gains popularity in DC area.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And it's all about these.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Gals mostly and a couple of guys who get together
once a week or more.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
And they like in the don mermaid tales.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Some of them like really expensive dotted with sequins, lined
with seashells and waddle into the water and splash around
and pretend to be mermaids.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I like the headline in stressful Times mermaiding a new
verb helps calm people down.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Okay, Yeah, living here is fast. Everything is fast. There's traffic.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
There's so many people that feel suffocating sometimes.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Children. You all need to have children. You'd be busy
raising your kids. You wouldn't have time for this crap.
Have a job in children takes care of so many problems.
You don't worry about all these extraneous bs things if
you have.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
A job in children.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Wow, says the fascist Mermaiding is luring attract is attracting
murfolk who are either looking for a unique form of exercise,
a deep sense of community, or something to take them
out of their everyday live.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Did you say murpholk. That's correct. Yes.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Although there is no official census, the Mermaids of the
Washington area estimate, they have the second highest population in
the country beyond Florida.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
In fact, jack two years ago.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Their community was featured heavily in the Netflix docuseries Myrrh People,
which focused on several aspiring mermaids volatile journeys to earn
admittance into elite pods, such as the circin Circus Siren
Mermaid Pod in Laurel, Maryland, which is one of the
most exclusive mermaid pods.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
And there's a lot here. We could do a whole
podcast on this.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
It's just creating a safe space for people to have fun.
A lot of people who need a place to feel accepted.
Blah blah blah. Is there a single person doing this
who is ever in their life voted Republican?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Of course?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Not Pretending to be a mermaid in your free time
is a certain sort of person.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
You meet a woman.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I'm from Ohio, I like wine tasting, I have two sisters.
I dress as a mermaid on weekends. You what, now,
what was that last part?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
For a few hours a week they slip on their
mirsna take some shelfies with friends.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
So it seems like one of the main parts of
dressing as a Mermaid is puns that seems to be.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Might be more important than the water. It's certainly an
important part of it. But these people are very normal Jack.
For instance, this dance costume designer who changed your name
to Targarian after the family from the Game of Thrones
and has purple hair and more piercings than a pin cushion,
(16:53):
get a job having a kid. She goes by the
name Mermaid Montara. Oh my god, Yeah, I know, I know.
It takes all kinds.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I guess Mark Zuckerberg's willing to pay somebody a billion
dollars if he can put him in first place with AI.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That's a pretty good job. Among other things on the way.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Armstrong and Getty's mom the American Eagle website.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I'm gonna get me some of them Nazi jeans before
they sell out. Coming up, chat, GPT lied to me
for the first time ever, like really misled me. It
damaged It damaged our relationship. I'm not pretty gunshy. Wow,
So that coming up. And also Zuckerbird's willing to throw
a billion dollar salary at somebody if they can put
(17:40):
him in first place. Throwing around money for a half
that yeah, okay, big AI update. First though, it's a
campus madness update.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Oh what madness? Oh that's the madness part. He's not
digging it. I can't remember. Is there more of that? Okay, here.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Handful of headlines for you, Jack, And we could really
spend a significant amount of time on any one of these,
but it definitely goes to the fact that crusaders against
the rot on our college campuses and actually our primary
and secondary educational systems too. We are not cherry picking.
It's more like we're standing in the midst of a
cherry orchard and you're accusing us of cherry picking. That's
(18:32):
I mean, we're surrounded by cherries. Anyway, I'm going to
start with this, which is a little different than the
other headlines. But it was The New York Times doing
a story on how the federal policy changes changed on
pell grants and the Big Beautiful Bill and higher education
grants and federal loan caps and the rest of it.
And what was interesting to me about this, and I'm
(18:55):
sure you'll appreciate this too, Jack, is that they mentioned
that the reason this discussion is so important is that
the average cost of public higher education in the the
United States has adjusted for inflation more than doubled since
nineteen eighty, and they don't spend a single word no less,
(19:20):
I'm sorry, certainly not a sentence or a paragraph in
asking why doubles that.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Right, doubled since nineteen eighty sounds low to me by
a lot. The only thing they.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Talk about is why government is not doing more to
hand people money to pay for it because it's more
than doubled.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
It's way more than doubled.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Absolutely nuts, Yeah, yeah, this is public colleges who right anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
But like I know a couple of specific examples of
it's doubled since people I know went in the nineties.
Well right, right.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
But the point obviously is that the New York Times
doesn't even have the question, just a question of government
grants to talk about a different mindset.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
A bunch of headlines here, this is something else.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
As it reloads three to one and we're back. The
largest teachers union in America is pushing Holocaust education that
erases Jews. The NEA now describes the Holocaust as having
twelve million victims from different faiths, without mentioning the attempted
extermination of the Jewish.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Pele wow as mostly Jews, as we all know as
a chunk of Catholics and Gypsies and other people too,
but it's mostly Jews.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
But so they're just going with different faiths. Okay, Yes,
in fact, that was the plan all along. You may
have heard of Hitler. He wrote a book about it
in which he expelled he spelled out exactly what he's
going to do, but not to the NEA. Speaking of
the NEA, they just scrubbed their twenty twenty five handbook
(20:58):
from their website. But the internet is forever, and various
school choice advocates have preserved all of it for all
of us, and the ENEA this is this year's handbook
says educators must acknowledge the existence of white supremacy culture
as a primary root cause of institutional racism, structural racism,
(21:20):
and white privilege. And educators must work to prohibit institutionally
racist systems and to bring them down. And it's a
chapter in verse of the whole DEI critical race theory stuff.
But the biggest teachers union in America says that needs
(21:41):
to be the top priority of teachers is to dismantle
white supremacy in our schools and our country.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Our public school system is completely broken. Yeah, Its long
is how long will it take? Can it be fixed?
Will just so many people have to pull out and
home school or private school I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, and school choice that Republicans are pushing right now.
Will so many people will.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Leave the government schools in favor of these schools that
educate children, that the system will collapse and ensure it
has to Your number.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
One priority should have been the entire time and should
always be for all eternity teaching, math, science, and reading.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
The end, the NEEA will push strategies fostering the eradication
of institutional racism and white privilege perpetuated by white supremacy.
Culture and school districts must provide training and cultural competence,
implicit bias, restorative practices and techniques, and racial justice. More
on this another time, but let's click on a few
more headlines. We didn't mention this and it was an oversight.
(22:55):
We just got really busy that UCLA, who were absolutely
himmering for their treatment of Jewish students, including the establishment
of a jew exclusion zone. UCLA agreed last week to
pay more than six million dollars to settle a lawsuit
brought by Jewish students who said, the university a lot
(23:16):
of antisemitic demonstrations. I'm sorry discrimination during the Spring twenty
twenty four encampments, the anti Israel encampments, good for them,
just absolutely hammered UCLA, which is deserving of everything it
gets George Mason University. On the other side of the country,
the president, facing an array of federal discrimination probes, is
(23:38):
tapped the ex Maryland Attorney General as his personal attorney
as an act of self preservation. This guy, Gregory Washington,
is adi woke crusader and has sanctioned and demanded racial
discrimination in practically everything George Mason University does. And if
you're not familiar with George Mason, it is an enormous
(24:01):
university in the Washington, DC area. It is the biggest
university in the University of Virginia system, so coast to coast,
all over the place, medical schools quietly maintain affirmative action.
According to Jason Riley in The Wall Street Journal, some
still use race to make admissions decisions, even though the Supreme.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Court said it's illegal.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
I just heard a story yesterday of somebody who's apparently
some sort of medical school star who has a whole
bunch of options to go to different colleges for medical school,
and interview has interviewed it's a couple where the first
question was what's your pronouns? And this person does not
(24:46):
swing that way politically, and thought, I'm not going to
this school.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Question number one to decide.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
If you want this star student to be in your
medical school, what are your pronouns?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
How crazy is that?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Prioritizing that a higher the prioritizing that at all, having
it be part of it at all is crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
But making that like the top thing.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Are you are kind of people? Rather than whether or
not you'd be a good doctor, right?
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I mean if it was like some sort of plumbers college,
I would be thinking, well, that's stupid, because like there'll
be leaks and bad plumbing if you make that a priority.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
This is like heart surgeons. Yeah, oh my god, it's obscene.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Do No Harm, A watchdog group that opposes racial preferences
analyze the last year's admissions data from twenty three public
medical schools. It found that at twenty two of the
twenty three Asian and white applicants who were accepted had
higher medical college admission test scores than their black peers,
and the data showed that at more than half of
the schools, the average MCAT that's the big test score
(25:51):
of Asian and white applicants who were rejected was higher
than that of the mcat's score of black applicants who
were accepted. And that there's a name for it, racism. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
The Trump administration has launched a probe of the Duke
Law Journal and warns their medical school is up next,
(26:12):
as they are promoting racial preferences and racial standards for
who gets to publish, who gets to be on the staff,
who gets to earn the accolades. No white people need apply,
honest to God, this is Duke University, but the law
and medical schools. And then finally, that's a story in
the Wall Street Journal by a film by the name
(26:33):
of Colin Wright who was excluded at Cornell University from
a job for which he was eminently qualified, maybe the
most qualified guy in the country. They eliminated purely because
he was a white man. And behind the scenes memos
which were issued or found during the discovery process for
this suit said yeah, no, we're not going to hire
(26:55):
a white guy. Absolutely overt racism. Ricka's Universities coast to coast,
Minnesota to Miami. It's unbelievable. It needs to take it apart,
be taken apart. It's campus madness.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Oh my god, what happened? Then? I love that little
exclamation for he stepped on a nail or something. Oh
she saw the madness around here, you fool? Okay, wake
up man.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
If you got the AI skills, Elon Zuckerberg what's his name?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
At Google?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Those people want you and they're willing to throw crazy
money at you. Got that in the fact that Chad
GBT lied to me for the first time. We're uh,
we're estranged right now on the way, stay.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Here, armstrong, he Getty, Morning Jennifer, morning her? He calls,
no messages, no bail. How about lunch, no lunch, busy? Okay,
how about later in my place? You are married her.
I'm Mandy Travis, the new Programmed record. Sorry, got a meeting.
We'll talk later. Did you last that long? One of
(28:08):
the best? Would you like to see? The big guy,
the big guy, the skipper, the chief, the head, han choke,
the jerk who runs his place.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Lonnie Anderson died yesterday and she was a big deal
for ten fifteen years. As a hatty tabloid star. So
there you are a toxic max masculinity on display there
in a way that would not be accepted in the
modern world.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Oh, indeed, disgusting. Is anyone worth a billion dollars?
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Well, Mark Zuckerberg thinks this woman, Mira Murretti, is worth
a billion dollars if she take the job, but she's
not going to it looks like because she's got other
offers or wants to start her own thing.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
She's one of your top AI experts. And right now.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
The leaders in AI that'd be open Ai, that's Chad
gp tis Anthropic, which I'm not as familiar with. Google
and Zuckerberg are all in competition for the best AI
researchers in the world. And it's like being a star
quarterback or a power forward or you know, a long
(29:17):
hitting third basement. You can make that kind of money,
well more than that kind of money. No, Yeah, nobody's
gotten a billion dollars before. Miretti is the former top
person in open AI, and she has a startup that's
worth a whole bunch of money and all kinds of
stuff like that. But anyway, according to The Wall Street Journal,
Zuckerberg tried to hire other people from that company. They
(29:39):
all declined to jump ship. He went after the top person,
offered more than a billion dollar pay package.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
That's a lot.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yeah, I'd say others have found Zuckerberg's offers too big
to pass up. A twenty four year old researcher named
Matt Deepkey said yes to a salary of two one
hundred and fifty million over four years. WHOA, and I
assume that's guaranteed money. It's not like you know some
of your sports contracts. And again, this is not the
(30:12):
number for the acquisition of a company. It's the acquisition
for a single employee. There are rumors out there, according
to the Wall Street Journal, of much higher salary offers that.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Have been thrown out there. Wow for these people.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
So you're saying a lot correctly that some of the
hype here around AI is coming from companies that stand
to benefit from it. True, But Zuckerberg and Elon and
Google aren't throwing these kind of salaries at people just
out of trying to pump up the look of AI.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Oh no, that's straight out of the don't worry about
what they say, watch what they do department. What they're
doing is offering a gal a billion dollars to come
work for them instead of her own company.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
That's a pretty strong statement.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
I was reading that the percentage of the growth in
our economy that's like just AI is a little shock. Yes,
it is, because there are zillions of dollars being poured
into that right now. But this looks like in five years.
I wish I knew. I hope to be around to
find out.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Like I use chat GPT all the time, as I
have said now, I don't google, I chat GPT, but
I didn't get lied to over the weekend, which was troubling,
really troubling. As I've mentioned, I'm attempting for the twentieth
time into my life to read Ulysses by James Joyce,
and I'm sticking with it this time, and I'm well
through chapter two, which is further than I've ever gotten
(31:38):
in my life. But I had a question about something,
and I've been going to chat GPT and it's been very,
very helpful. But it gave me an answer on one
of the characters, and I thought, wow, I am really lost.
I thought we were reading the inner dialogue of a
completely different person. How did I miss that? I went
(32:00):
back through the to the first chapter and try to
pick up where I got lost, Like, this is a
major point. I can't I can't read the book and
be this far off of reading an entire chapter of
inner dialogue.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
And I got the wrong character. I was right, it
was wrong. It just got it wrong, and very confidently
got it wrong. Leopold Bloom. The main character was not
who was being discussed at this point. It was someone else.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
And I thought, Okay, how often has this happened already
when I didn't catch it, or how often would it
happen the future where I don't catch it? That's troubling.
I mean, like, man, how did it make a mistake
that big?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Yeah, reminds me the whole when they write about your
industry and the newspaper, you realize, wow, that's totally inaccurate.
But I'm sure everything else they write about is accurate.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yeah, I should have argued with it, like smart people do.
Maybe I can go back and still do that, pick
up in the conversation and say, hey, hey, hey, chat
GPT or Fred or whatever I'm supposed to call it.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
You realize you got that completely wrong? Right? That character
doesn't show up until chapter two, and see how it reacts.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
If it argues with me, it says my bad, Or
do it now? What did this information cost you? Is
what I would say to chat GPT. He paid nothing
for this? What do you expect?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, yeah, no kidding, what are you on for nothing?
Speaker 3 (33:27):
But you know, we've talked about the law cases where
a lawyer's cruising along getting great info from chat GPT,
You use a piece and then in court somebody challenges
it and turns out to be completely funny.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
It's a problem case that never existed. Ye yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Indeed, another thing I was writing about AI the big
consulting companies are they're getting ready for a massive earthquake
under them. This article is about McKinsey, which is a
legendary business consulting group. But as they point out, the
elite armies, the alert firms, armies of consultant have helped
(34:06):
generations of CEOs blah blah blah. Artificial intelligence can increasingly
do the work done by the firm's highly paid consultants,
often within minutes. So it can like analyze all of
the business data the structure of your business, churn out
(34:30):
a power point and a deck of suggestions, and all
in seconds.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
So what do they do anymore?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
And interestingly the answer was, well, they're now rapidly deploying
thousands of AI agents. Those bots now assist consultants in
building PowerPoint texts.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
And I'm like, attacks an AI agent.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
And so I had to click on that link and
go read about what an AI agent is exactly, And
as far as they can tell, it's kind of like
an app, but I need to keep reading.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
You would think there'd be more people that have the skills,
that it wouldn't be a one human worth a billion dollars,
but you know, apparently that's the case at least currently.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Get into an openhe Oppenheimer or you know, Thomas Edison. Yeah,
if you're young man, learn how to do AI or not.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
If you miss an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and
Getty on demand
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong
and Getty and He Armstrong and Eddy not speaking that Sweet,
(00:25):
I'm making from Republican.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Who was.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Very she's a registered Republican. Oh now, I love her head?
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
As Sidney Sweet, you'd be surprised at how many people
are Republicans. That's what I wouldn't have known. But I'm
glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a
registered Republican, I think her head is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Trump understands that better than anybody.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
He understands sound bites, so he'll like, he gets information
like that and he thinks, Okay, here's the sound bite
Sydney's Sweeney being a ra I.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Mean he repeats.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
That's one of the reasons he repeats things, so that
there is the sound bite for everybody to grab on
whatever topic.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's very clever.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
But yeah, well, it's surprising any young actresses is a Republican.
Surprising a young person really is, But she is? And
when when whatever the name of this Jean's American Eagle
or whatever they are, Jeans contacted her agent and said,
would she like to do a Gene ad? We'll pay her.
(01:34):
What do you suppose she made doing that? Just a
guess half million dollars too much, probably less at least,
oh at least that. Oh really, I don't have any
I don't have any idea, but okay, So the Jeans
people call her up and say, we'll give you two
million dollars to be a represented for the gene school.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Where do we sign?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And she goes and she does the shoot probably took
two hours, with.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Makeup, the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
She had no idea that this is going to turn
her life upside down maybe forever. She might not get
roles in TV shows and movies because of this, because
it's too controversial now, especially now that she's it's known
that she's a registered Republican. Uh in fact, not probably guaranteed.
(02:20):
There are shows that she would have liked to have
been on Netflix, series or whatever that she won't get
because it's not worth stepping in it.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
For the liberal left. I wonder she has no idea.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That that that was going to happen when she decided
to do a Genes commercial, which generally you never hear
about well, you.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Know, this is an interesting question that I want to
consider for just a second. The reaction among like every
sane person in America has been this so called backlash
is stupid and nobody thinks like that, and the left
or just be clowning themselves better than ever. But you
think that the hardcore left in Hollywood will still think, Yeah,
(03:03):
but she's tainted now by your association.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Absolutely, they just said, just be a We've got two
attractive blonds could do this role roughly the same.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Why the headache? Why take on the headache? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I don't think so. I think she's bigger than that.
I think it comes the other it comes out the
other way.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
But I hope so, because it would suck for her
to have her career affected by this in any way.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I mean, the controversy is ridiculous to start with, but
then like attaching.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It to her is even dumber.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Oh yeah, anyway, So a number of people made comparisons
last week to an appearance jd Vance made on a
podcast and the appearance that Kamala Harris made on The
Colbert Show. I was watching Mark Alprin's video cast over
the weekend in which they thought he is nonpartisan and
(03:54):
then he has a Republican and a Democrat as sidekicks.
All three of them thought Kamala was horrible on Colbert
in a way that I didn't quite pick up on
the time. Specifically, she's had six months to figure out
how to answer a couple of things, and she still
seemed to be like you could see your wheels spinning
figuring out how.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
To answer what what?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
You don't have a practice to answer for politics today,
or you're rolling in or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
It seemed like.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Anyway, Jad, that was like, you know, back on the view,
what would you do differently than Biden? Oh h gosh,
well you really pinned me down on the die.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I hadn't anticipated that question.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, she was like that on Colbert after six months
of probably thinking about running for president anyway, j d
vance completely different level of talent, and by the way,
on Mark Alpert's podcast with the Republican Democrat and Halpern
all think he is far and away the most likely
nominee for the Republicans and likely the next president that
(05:00):
because he is so good in getting better. Here's him
talking about to Sidney Sweeney situation on a podcast over
the weekend.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
My political advice to the Democrats is continue to tell
everybody who thinks Sidney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
That appears to be their actual strategy.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
And I mean it actually reveals something pretty interesting about
the Dems, though, which is that you have like a normal,
all American, beautiful girl during doing like a normal genes ad. Right,
they're trying to sell, you know, sell jeans to kids
in America, and they have managed to so unhinge themselves
over this thing. And it's like, you, guys, did you
(05:36):
learn nothing from the November twenty twenty four election. Like
I actually thought that one of the lessons they might
take is we're going to be less crazy. The lesson
they have apparently taken is we're going to attack people
as Nazis for thinking Sidney Sweeney is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Great strategy, guys, That's how you're going to learn the
mid terms.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
How much more comfortable is he in his own skin?
The person who is most comfortable in their own skin
is a person who genly wins elections. I don't think
his opponent's going to be Kamala Harris. I don't think
you'll even get to Iowa. But he is he is
pretty good. I was thinking about.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
This the other day.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I was listening to some fellows discuss Kamala Harris's prospects
going forward, and they are miserable. They don't exist, they're
they're terrible. Nobody is impressed by her. She's a loser
and a dope, But you're a dope.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
That's talk.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
She is continually cited as a favorite. She topped the
recent completely meaningless name recognition Democrat poll. And it occurred
to me, as I was strolling along listening to this,
that there is there, and nobody ever talked about this.
There is a designation in the political world of a
person who must be taken seriously. And it doesn't matter
(06:48):
if in Kamala Harris's case, for instance, if she was
an appointed this Willie Brown's girlfriend anointed the attorney general
in a one party state, a DEI higher for vice
president after she washed out completely of the primaries. I mean,
it was a humiliating defeat. But in spite of all
that losing, because Joe Biden plucked her to be the veep,
(07:10):
she is a person who should be taken seriously. In
the defiance of all logic, she's nothing, she will do nothing.
She has gone forget her back.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
To the Blue gene ad and what Jade Vance was
talking about, their lesson seems to have been that they
learned is let's go further in wolkness.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I would put it. Meanwhile, back at the third Reich.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Bill Maher on his show Friday Night said, and an
other uncomfortable racial news, sad news. We found out this
week that Sidney Sweeney is a Nazi, and of course
everybody laughed, No, she's not. But if you've seen the
ad we're showing it now, she's dressed like Jay Leno.
That's just a good point, which I thought was funny.
And then he recites the line about the blue eyes
(07:49):
and I have good jeens and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
He said.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It also doesn't help that her bras Eyze is thirty
six KKK.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
That's a funny lie.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
And that the name that she gave her boo is
the Proud Boys.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Wow, that's some good riffing, he said.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It's also like, it's pretty funny that all the online
social justice girls are like, it's racist, there's no such
thing as good jeans. And then you go on Tinder
and swipe left on every bald guy, which is hurtful
to me.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Of course that's true.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
So any comment on jeans as white supremacy, bad jeans,
bad jeans, bad jeans, as he swiped through all the guys,
that is pretty funny. By the way, American Eagle stock
rose more than ten percent last week.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Sidney Sweeney has not made a comment at all, although
somebody did get out that voting information, which I don't
think does her life any favors. Joe doesn't think it'll
hurt her. I hope it doesn't. How she votes shouldn't
make any difference anybody. And Donald Trump has another truth
out today about this topic. Sidney Sweeney, a registered Republican,
has the hottest in all caps add out there. It's
(08:55):
for American Eagle and the jeans are flying off the
shelves in all caps. Go get them, Sidney. On the
other side of the Ledger, jaguared in a stupid and
seriously woke advertisement that is a disaster. The CEO just
resigned and the companies in turmoil. And he goes through
a number of other examples with bud Light and that
sort of stuff. So right, Trump, recognizing where you know,
(09:16):
there's a little fire that he can jump into and
make some hay with.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
All right, here's my favorite comment comes from this journalist
by the name of Charlie Wartzell, who was writing in
the Atlantic. And just as a little background, Warzel used
to work at the New York Times, where he sobbed
like a little girl during the emergency staff meeting, remember
the mallet excuse me, maoist struggle session over whether the
(09:43):
paper should publish that op ed by Tom Cotton.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You remember how that caused that.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Just a uproar within the paper that a sitting US
senator would write an editorial in which he turned out
to be completely correct, But it just tore their woke
newsroom apart. But anyway, during the meeting over that, Wartzell
is crying like a baby.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Baby.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Wartzell was upset because quote, none of my friends want
to talk to me anymore because I worked for this horrible,
evil newspaper. So anyway, here's this, this you need new friends,
This half a man child now writing for the Atlantic.
Let's see, he was attempting to write, I'm going to
quote Andrew Styles now of the Free Beacon. He was
(10:32):
attempting to write a cerebral lamentation about how quote the
discourse is broken or whatever, while insisting the criticism of
the ad campaign makes sense because of, you know, all
the racism out there. Wartzel's rhetoric really shines when analyzing
the political implications of hiring Swedey to sell jeans.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Quote.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Her image has been co opted by the right, accurately
or not, in part because of where she's from, the
Mountain West, and some of her hobbies fixing cars.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Even her knew any of this, none of it, and
don't care.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Even her figure has become a cultural stand in for
the idea published and pushed by conservative commentators that Americans
should be free to love boobs.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
What I know.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I know, even her figure has become a cultural stand
in for the idea pushed by conservative commentators that Americans
should be free to love boobs.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
So that's kind of interesting that to kind of go
with like being curvy as a right wing thing. Because
the New York Times had an op ed piece I
was going to get to later why the right is
obsessed with thinness when diet culture meets conservative morality. That
is one of the dumbest things I've ever read.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
In my life.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
It's as if they're using some sort of AI powered
random fake aggrievement headline generator.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Are you people serious?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I know what's it like to live your life like that,
constantly looking for some excuse to bellow about somebody else
being you know, unenlightened.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
We will get to that later.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
How the right is obsessed with thinness and it's somehow
white supremacy or awful or something when Obestie's one of
the biggest problems we've got in America. But what did
you say we're doing? We got something.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
This campus madness update coming, oh so much madness, oh goodness.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And a bunch of other stuff. Stay here, armstrong.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
The World Swimming Championships, the US saved it's best for last.
The women's four by one hundred med League team broke
its own world record in today's final race in Singapore.
Reagan Smith, Kate Douglas, Gretchen Walsh and Tory Husk bested
the old mark by twenty nine hundredths of a second.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
And getting ready for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles
next summer, I think, so, sach right, Yeah, maybe I'll
look at that number, dear, I'll look that that's why Americans.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Don't care about global warming. If the oceans cover of
the Earth, we're the best swimmers. It's fine.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Speaking of the world of sports, maybe an hour four
we'll get to a lawyer believes Caitlin Clark has a
serious civil rights case against the WNBA if she wants
to make it.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I doubt she does.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
But that's interesting because she's getting the hell beat out
of her night after night, and they hit us with
some of the statistics, and it's undeniable and it's almost
never called. And it's because of race, and if not race,
sexuality or both.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
So anyway, Summer Olympics in Los Angeles are in twenty
twenty eight. Oh, we got a compangners the Summer Olympics.
I peaked too.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Early in my training. I thought it was next year.
Dang it.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
So speaking of swimming, Oh, we don't have much time.
We're talking about this sort of person who actually tries
to get offended by the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad and
talks about eugenics and the rest of it and what
they're like. Katie had this headline like a week ago.
I was intrigued enough that I dug into it. Yes,
(14:00):
ful World, Mermaiding gains popularity in DC area.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And it's all about these.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Gals mostly and a couple of guys who get together
once a week or more.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
And they like in the don mermaid tales.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Some of them like really expensive dotted with sequins, lined
with seashells and waddle into the water and splash around
and pretend to be mermaids.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I like the headline in stressful Times mermaiding a new
verb helps calm people down.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Okay, Yeah, living here is fast. Everything is fast. There's traffic.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
There's so many people that feel suffocating sometimes.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Children. You all need to have children. You'd be busy
raising your kids. You wouldn't have time for this crap.
Have a job in children takes care of so many problems.
You don't worry about all these extraneous bs things if
you have.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
A job in children.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Wow, says the fascist Mermaiding is luring attract is attracting
murfolk who are either looking for a unique form of exercise,
a deep sense of community, or something to take them
out of their everyday live.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Did you say murpholk. That's correct. Yes.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Although there is no official census, the Mermaids of the
Washington area estimate, they have the second highest population in
the country beyond Florida.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
In fact, jack two years ago.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Their community was featured heavily in the Netflix docuseries Myrrh People,
which focused on several aspiring mermaids volatile journeys to earn
admittance into elite pods, such as the circin Circus Siren
Mermaid Pod in Laurel, Maryland, which is one of the
most exclusive mermaid pods.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
And there's a lot here. We could do a whole
podcast on this.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
It's just creating a safe space for people to have fun.
A lot of people who need a place to feel accepted.
Blah blah blah. Is there a single person doing this
who is ever in their life voted Republican?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Of course?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Not Pretending to be a mermaid in your free time
is a certain sort of person.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
You meet a woman.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I'm from Ohio, I like wine tasting, I have two sisters.
I dress as a mermaid on weekends. You what, now,
what was that last part?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
For a few hours a week they slip on their
mirsna take some shelfies with friends.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
So it seems like one of the main parts of
dressing as a Mermaid is puns that seems to be.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Might be more important than the water. It's certainly an
important part of it. But these people are very normal Jack.
For instance, this dance costume designer who changed your name
to Targarian after the family from the Game of Thrones
and has purple hair and more piercings than a pin cushion,
(16:53):
get a job having a kid. She goes by the
name Mermaid Montara. Oh my god, Yeah, I know, I know.
It takes all kinds.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I guess Mark Zuckerberg's willing to pay somebody a billion
dollars if he can put him in first place with AI.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That's a pretty good job. Among other things on the way.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Armstrong and Getty's mom the American Eagle website.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I'm gonna get me some of them Nazi jeans before
they sell out. Coming up, chat, GPT lied to me
for the first time ever, like really misled me. It
damaged It damaged our relationship. I'm not pretty gunshy. Wow,
So that coming up. And also Zuckerbird's willing to throw
a billion dollar salary at somebody if they can put
(17:40):
him in first place. Throwing around money for a half
that yeah, okay, big AI update. First though, it's a
campus madness update.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Oh what madness? Oh that's the madness part. He's not
digging it. I can't remember. Is there more of that? Okay, here.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Handful of headlines for you, Jack, And we could really
spend a significant amount of time on any one of these,
but it definitely goes to the fact that crusaders against
the rot on our college campuses and actually our primary
and secondary educational systems too. We are not cherry picking.
It's more like we're standing in the midst of a
cherry orchard and you're accusing us of cherry picking. That's
(18:32):
I mean, we're surrounded by cherries. Anyway, I'm going to
start with this, which is a little different than the
other headlines. But it was The New York Times doing
a story on how the federal policy changes changed on
pell grants and the Big Beautiful Bill and higher education
grants and federal loan caps and the rest of it.
And what was interesting to me about this, and I'm
(18:55):
sure you'll appreciate this too, Jack, is that they mentioned
that the reason this discussion is so important is that
the average cost of public higher education in the the
United States has adjusted for inflation more than doubled since
nineteen eighty, and they don't spend a single word no less,
(19:20):
I'm sorry, certainly not a sentence or a paragraph in
asking why doubles that.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Right, doubled since nineteen eighty sounds low to me by
a lot. The only thing they.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Talk about is why government is not doing more to
hand people money to pay for it because it's more
than doubled.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
It's way more than doubled.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Absolutely nuts, Yeah, yeah, this is public colleges who right anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
But like I know a couple of specific examples of
it's doubled since people I know went in the nineties.
Well right, right.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
But the point obviously is that the New York Times
doesn't even have the question, just a question of government
grants to talk about a different mindset.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
A bunch of headlines here, this is something else.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
As it reloads three to one and we're back. The
largest teachers union in America is pushing Holocaust education that
erases Jews. The NEA now describes the Holocaust as having
twelve million victims from different faiths, without mentioning the attempted
extermination of the Jewish.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Pele wow as mostly Jews, as we all know as
a chunk of Catholics and Gypsies and other people too,
but it's mostly Jews.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
But so they're just going with different faiths. Okay, Yes,
in fact, that was the plan all along. You may
have heard of Hitler. He wrote a book about it
in which he expelled he spelled out exactly what he's
going to do, but not to the NEA. Speaking of
the NEA, they just scrubbed their twenty twenty five handbook
(20:58):
from their website. But the internet is forever, and various
school choice advocates have preserved all of it for all
of us, and the ENEA this is this year's handbook
says educators must acknowledge the existence of white supremacy culture
as a primary root cause of institutional racism, structural racism,
(21:20):
and white privilege. And educators must work to prohibit institutionally
racist systems and to bring them down. And it's a
chapter in verse of the whole DEI critical race theory stuff.
But the biggest teachers union in America says that needs
(21:41):
to be the top priority of teachers is to dismantle
white supremacy in our schools and our country.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Our public school system is completely broken. Yeah, Its long
is how long will it take? Can it be fixed?
Will just so many people have to pull out and
home school or private school I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, and school choice that Republicans are pushing right now.
Will so many people will.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Leave the government schools in favor of these schools that
educate children, that the system will collapse and ensure it
has to Your number.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
One priority should have been the entire time and should
always be for all eternity teaching, math, science, and reading.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
The end, the NEEA will push strategies fostering the eradication
of institutional racism and white privilege perpetuated by white supremacy.
Culture and school districts must provide training and cultural competence,
implicit bias, restorative practices and techniques, and racial justice. More
on this another time, but let's click on a few
more headlines. We didn't mention this and it was an oversight.
(22:55):
We just got really busy that UCLA, who were absolutely
himmering for their treatment of Jewish students, including the establishment
of a jew exclusion zone. UCLA agreed last week to
pay more than six million dollars to settle a lawsuit
brought by Jewish students who said, the university a lot
(23:16):
of antisemitic demonstrations. I'm sorry discrimination during the Spring twenty
twenty four encampments, the anti Israel encampments, good for them,
just absolutely hammered UCLA, which is deserving of everything it
gets George Mason University. On the other side of the country,
the president, facing an array of federal discrimination probes, is
(23:38):
tapped the ex Maryland Attorney General as his personal attorney
as an act of self preservation. This guy, Gregory Washington,
is adi woke crusader and has sanctioned and demanded racial
discrimination in practically everything George Mason University does. And if
you're not familiar with George Mason, it is an enormous
(24:01):
university in the Washington, DC area. It is the biggest
university in the University of Virginia system, so coast to coast,
all over the place, medical schools quietly maintain affirmative action.
According to Jason Riley in The Wall Street Journal, some
still use race to make admissions decisions, even though the Supreme.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Court said it's illegal.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
I just heard a story yesterday of somebody who's apparently
some sort of medical school star who has a whole
bunch of options to go to different colleges for medical school,
and interview has interviewed it's a couple where the first
question was what's your pronouns? And this person does not
(24:46):
swing that way politically, and thought, I'm not going to
this school.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Question number one to decide.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
If you want this star student to be in your
medical school, what are your pronouns?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
How crazy is that?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Prioritizing that a higher the prioritizing that at all, having
it be part of it at all is crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
But making that like the top thing.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Are you are kind of people? Rather than whether or
not you'd be a good doctor, right?
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I mean if it was like some sort of plumbers college,
I would be thinking, well, that's stupid, because like there'll
be leaks and bad plumbing if you make that a priority.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
This is like heart surgeons. Yeah, oh my god, it's obscene.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Do No Harm, A watchdog group that opposes racial preferences
analyze the last year's admissions data from twenty three public
medical schools. It found that at twenty two of the
twenty three Asian and white applicants who were accepted had
higher medical college admission test scores than their black peers,
and the data showed that at more than half of
the schools, the average MCAT that's the big test score
(25:51):
of Asian and white applicants who were rejected was higher
than that of the mcat's score of black applicants who
were accepted. And that there's a name for it, racism. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
The Trump administration has launched a probe of the Duke
Law Journal and warns their medical school is up next,
(26:12):
as they are promoting racial preferences and racial standards for
who gets to publish, who gets to be on the staff,
who gets to earn the accolades. No white people need apply,
honest to God, this is Duke University, but the law
and medical schools. And then finally, that's a story in
the Wall Street Journal by a film by the name
(26:33):
of Colin Wright who was excluded at Cornell University from
a job for which he was eminently qualified, maybe the
most qualified guy in the country. They eliminated purely because
he was a white man. And behind the scenes memos
which were issued or found during the discovery process for
this suit said yeah, no, we're not going to hire
(26:55):
a white guy. Absolutely overt racism. Ricka's Universities coast to coast,
Minnesota to Miami. It's unbelievable. It needs to take it apart,
be taken apart. It's campus madness.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Oh my god, what happened? Then? I love that little
exclamation for he stepped on a nail or something. Oh
she saw the madness around here, you fool? Okay, wake
up man.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
If you got the AI skills, Elon Zuckerberg what's his name?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
At Google?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Those people want you and they're willing to throw crazy
money at you. Got that in the fact that Chad
GBT lied to me for the first time. We're uh,
we're estranged right now on the way, stay.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Here, armstrong, he Getty, Morning Jennifer, morning her? He calls,
no messages, no bail. How about lunch, no lunch, busy? Okay,
how about later in my place? You are married her.
I'm Mandy Travis, the new Programmed record. Sorry, got a meeting.
We'll talk later. Did you last that long? One of
(28:08):
the best? Would you like to see? The big guy,
the big guy, the skipper, the chief, the head, han choke,
the jerk who runs his place.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Lonnie Anderson died yesterday and she was a big deal
for ten fifteen years. As a hatty tabloid star. So
there you are a toxic max masculinity on display there
in a way that would not be accepted in the
modern world.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Oh, indeed, disgusting. Is anyone worth a billion dollars?
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Well, Mark Zuckerberg thinks this woman, Mira Murretti, is worth
a billion dollars if she take the job, but she's
not going to it looks like because she's got other
offers or wants to start her own thing.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
She's one of your top AI experts. And right now.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
The leaders in AI that'd be open Ai, that's Chad
gp tis Anthropic, which I'm not as familiar with. Google
and Zuckerberg are all in competition for the best AI
researchers in the world. And it's like being a star
quarterback or a power forward or you know, a long
(29:17):
hitting third basement. You can make that kind of money,
well more than that kind of money. No, Yeah, nobody's
gotten a billion dollars before. Miretti is the former top
person in open AI, and she has a startup that's
worth a whole bunch of money and all kinds of
stuff like that. But anyway, according to The Wall Street Journal,
Zuckerberg tried to hire other people from that company. They
(29:39):
all declined to jump ship. He went after the top person,
offered more than a billion dollar pay package.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
That's a lot.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yeah, I'd say others have found Zuckerberg's offers too big
to pass up. A twenty four year old researcher named
Matt Deepkey said yes to a salary of two one
hundred and fifty million over four years. WHOA, and I
assume that's guaranteed money. It's not like you know some
of your sports contracts. And again, this is not the
(30:12):
number for the acquisition of a company. It's the acquisition
for a single employee. There are rumors out there, according
to the Wall Street Journal, of much higher salary offers that.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Have been thrown out there. Wow for these people.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
So you're saying a lot correctly that some of the
hype here around AI is coming from companies that stand
to benefit from it. True, But Zuckerberg and Elon and
Google aren't throwing these kind of salaries at people just
out of trying to pump up the look of AI.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Oh no, that's straight out of the don't worry about
what they say, watch what they do department. What they're
doing is offering a gal a billion dollars to come
work for them instead of her own company.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
That's a pretty strong statement.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
I was reading that the percentage of the growth in
our economy that's like just AI is a little shock. Yes,
it is, because there are zillions of dollars being poured
into that right now. But this looks like in five years.
I wish I knew. I hope to be around to
find out.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Like I use chat GPT all the time, as I
have said now, I don't google, I chat GPT, but
I didn't get lied to over the weekend, which was troubling,
really troubling. As I've mentioned, I'm attempting for the twentieth
time into my life to read Ulysses by James Joyce,
and I'm sticking with it this time, and I'm well
through chapter two, which is further than I've ever gotten
(31:38):
in my life. But I had a question about something,
and I've been going to chat GPT and it's been very,
very helpful. But it gave me an answer on one
of the characters, and I thought, wow, I am really lost.
I thought we were reading the inner dialogue of a
completely different person. How did I miss that? I went
(32:00):
back through the to the first chapter and try to
pick up where I got lost, Like, this is a
major point. I can't I can't read the book and
be this far off of reading an entire chapter of
inner dialogue.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
And I got the wrong character. I was right, it
was wrong. It just got it wrong, and very confidently
got it wrong. Leopold Bloom. The main character was not
who was being discussed at this point. It was someone else.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
And I thought, Okay, how often has this happened already
when I didn't catch it, or how often would it
happen the future where I don't catch it? That's troubling.
I mean, like, man, how did it make a mistake
that big?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Yeah, reminds me the whole when they write about your
industry and the newspaper, you realize, wow, that's totally inaccurate.
But I'm sure everything else they write about is accurate.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yeah, I should have argued with it, like smart people do.
Maybe I can go back and still do that, pick
up in the conversation and say, hey, hey, hey, chat
GPT or Fred or whatever I'm supposed to call it.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
You realize you got that completely wrong? Right? That character
doesn't show up until chapter two, and see how it reacts.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
If it argues with me, it says my bad, Or
do it now? What did this information cost you? Is
what I would say to chat GPT. He paid nothing
for this? What do you expect?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, yeah, no kidding, what are you on for nothing?
Speaker 3 (33:27):
But you know, we've talked about the law cases where
a lawyer's cruising along getting great info from chat GPT,
You use a piece and then in court somebody challenges
it and turns out to be completely funny.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
It's a problem case that never existed. Ye yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Indeed, another thing I was writing about AI the big
consulting companies are they're getting ready for a massive earthquake
under them. This article is about McKinsey, which is a
legendary business consulting group. But as they point out, the
elite armies, the alert firms, armies of consultant have helped
(34:06):
generations of CEOs blah blah blah. Artificial intelligence can increasingly
do the work done by the firm's highly paid consultants,
often within minutes. So it can like analyze all of
the business data the structure of your business, churn out
(34:30):
a power point and a deck of suggestions, and all
in seconds.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
So what do they do anymore?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
And interestingly the answer was, well, they're now rapidly deploying
thousands of AI agents. Those bots now assist consultants in
building PowerPoint texts.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
And I'm like, attacks an AI agent.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
And so I had to click on that link and
go read about what an AI agent is exactly, And
as far as they can tell, it's kind of like
an app, but I need to keep reading.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
You would think there'd be more people that have the skills,
that it wouldn't be a one human worth a billion dollars,
but you know, apparently that's the case at least currently.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Get into an openhe Oppenheimer or you know, Thomas Edison. Yeah,
if you're young man, learn how to do AI or not.
I don't know.
