- 0:34Speaker 1: ambush yesterday? This is the exact reason why they're not
- 0:40Speaker 1: gonna learn. It's not gonna get better. A golden opportunity.
- 0:43Speaker 1: There is a wide open business model for media outlets,
- 0:47Speaker 1: for for traditional news outlets to go mainstream and just
- 0:50Speaker 1: report the facts. Golden opportunity. People are starving for it,
- 0:54Speaker 1: and they won't and they just won't do it. They're
- 0:56Speaker 1: just gonna lie their way and propaganda their way into
- 0:59Speaker 1: obscurity and complete failure because their reaction to the Trump incident.
- 1:06Speaker 1: The ambush is the word they're using now of the
- 1:09Speaker 1: South African president at the White House yesterday. It's incredible.
- 1:11Speaker 1: They caused all this. This is why they're the target
- 1:14Speaker 1: of my ire that. This is why, because they're lying
- 1:17Speaker 1: to us, that's why. But it's okay, that's all right,
- 1:21Speaker 1: we know better Now there's a lot of other media
- 1:23Speaker 1: news sources. We'll get to the real deal on that
- 1:24Speaker 1: whole thing. We will talk about That was quite an
- 1:26Speaker 1: incident yesterday at the White House. We'll talk about that
- 1:29Speaker 1: as Trump turned down the lights a little audio visual
- 1:31Speaker 1: show for the South African president, but he turned up
- 1:34Speaker 1: the light and exposed what's actually happening in that country
- 1:37Speaker 1: that once again the media is not talking about. Unfortunately,
- 1:40Speaker 1: we have another international now international violent incident to talk
- 1:46Speaker 1: about with the Israeli embassy last night in Washington, DC.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Absolutely horrific, but things changed at everything changed with this
- 1:52Speaker 1: free Palestine chant last night. Now it's directly tied to murder.
- 1:56Speaker 1: We'll get into that, but it's not all going to
- 1:58Speaker 1: be bad news and horrific stuff. We'll wrap it up
- 2:00Speaker 1: today with something that's going on at Pace University and
- 2:04Speaker 1: will will I guarantee you be happening at a university
- 2:07Speaker 1: near you. AI generated voice commencement addresses not addresses reading
- 2:13Speaker 1: of the names that's what it should be. I think
- 2:16Speaker 1: I'm completely alone in the universe on this, I really do.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Everybody seems to be just not only against it, like
- 2:23Speaker 1: horrified by it. I can see the best. I actually
- 2:26Speaker 1: think it's kind of cool. Anyway, we'll get into that too.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Thanks for finding me. I appreciate it so much. Big
- 2:31Speaker 1: response to the live stream yesterday and growing and growing,
- 2:34Speaker 1: and I really appreciate that. The audio podcast too, which

- 2:39Speaker 1: Don't forget. Wicked Radio is the livestream portion of Wicked
- 2:42Speaker 1: Wisdom with Bill Adams, with some extended content on all
- 2:45Speaker 1: the other social media platforms like follow, blah blah blah.
- 2:49Speaker 1: You know the deal. Let's get right to it. So
- 2:51Speaker 1: horrific and I hate starting off the show like this,
- 2:54Speaker 1: but you got to talk about what's going on in
- 2:56Speaker 1: the news, what's the world telling us? More importantly, how
- 2:59Speaker 1: can we process it and reframed this whole thing and
- 3:01Speaker 1: get to the truth. Well, here's the incident shooting last night.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Let me go to the exact story. It was in Washington,
- 3:07Speaker 1: DC last night, a shooting incident, and it was horrific.
- 3:10Speaker 1: It didn't end up in murders. Oh, it's awful to
- 3:12Speaker 1: talk about two Israeli embassy staff members, and that's important
- 3:15Speaker 1: to the story. Two Israeli embassy staff members were shot
- 3:20Speaker 1: and killed by a suspect. We'll get to here in
- 3:23Speaker 1: a second. I hate to even mention his name. Outside
- 3:25Speaker 1: the Capitol Jewish Museum in DC. Occurred as the couple
- 3:29Speaker 1: was leaving an event, Let's go to Washington, d C.
- 3:33Speaker 1: This was the overnight press conference of their public spokesperson
- 3:36Speaker 1: talking about the details.
- 3:37Speaker 2: The suspect chanted free, Free Palestine, all while in custody. Really,
- 3:43Speaker 2: the suspect has been tentatively identified as thirty year old
- 3:48Speaker 2: Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, Illinois. Our MPD case detectives are
- 3:55Speaker 2: leading this investigation.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Did you say Illinois anyway? She also said chanted what
- 4:01Speaker 1: while in custody? The tentative By the way, side, note,
- 4:07Speaker 1: that was a lot more information than what they usually
- 4:09Speaker 1: give in press conferences like this with a suspect in custody,
- 4:12Speaker 1: where they give out a name immediately. That was a
- 4:13Speaker 1: little different. Did that catch your attention? That was a
- 4:15Speaker 1: little bit different that she has to say tentatively identified.
- 4:19Speaker 1: I get that it's all alleged it's all reported. I
- 4:22Speaker 1: understand that for legal purposes, but usually we don't hear
- 4:25Speaker 1: about a name until sometimes two days after it happens,
- 4:28Speaker 1: and the internet sleuths find it out on their own.
- 4:31Speaker 1: But now, what did you hold on? What did she say?
- 4:34Speaker 1: What was it? What was he chanting in custody? Now
- 4:37Speaker 1: that's the important part of the story. Well, let's go
- 4:39Speaker 1: to that scene, because of course there were cell phone
- 4:42Speaker 1: cameras there and reporters there. Uh, here's the thirty year
- 4:47Speaker 1: old suspect as they arrested. Interesting, while you're paying this
- 5:00Speaker 1: is literally well, they're handcuffing them. If you saw the video,
- 5:03Speaker 1: you know what I mean, handcuffing them, grabbing them, opening
- 5:06Speaker 1: the door, putting him in, and then he's walking down
- 5:08Speaker 1: the hall to I don't know whatever, holding tank they
- 5:10Speaker 1: put him in. He's still chanting that. Well, things just change,
- 5:14Speaker 1: my friends, because I'm sorry if you fell for it.
- 5:18Speaker 1: If when they originally told us, we're going back, oh jeez,
- 5:22Speaker 1: year and a half ago. Now, let's go back to
- 5:24Speaker 1: the college campus riots as I called them. What were
- 5:28Speaker 1: we told at the very beginning with the free Palestine
- 5:31Speaker 1: chants and the blocking of roads in the incidents, and
- 5:34Speaker 1: the tearing down of Israeli hostage posters in New York, DC, Chicago.
- 5:39Speaker 1: So I saw in LA two. What were they telling us?
- 5:42Speaker 1: They just kids, They're just kids. All they want is peace.
- 5:47Speaker 1: They just want the war to end. And most of us,
- 5:49Speaker 1: common sense, free thinking individuals said, well, yeah, I get that.
- 5:52Speaker 1: You know, we all just we just want not picking
- 5:54Speaker 1: a side here. We're Americans, but we want bloodshed to stop.
- 5:56Speaker 1: We just don't we don't want to get involved. We
- 5:58Speaker 1: want war to end. Right, We all said that, And
- 6:00Speaker 1: then he continued, they just want peace. They're just a
- 6:03Speaker 1: peaceful group of people. They're just students. They just want
- 6:07Speaker 1: free Palestine. Well, then it became kind of different. Last
- 6:10Speaker 1: year went on those college campuses. It wasn't just free
- 6:13Speaker 1: Palestine anymore. It was pro Hamas. Then it became pro terror. Huh,
- 6:20Speaker 1: well that's interesting, that's a little bit different. And then
- 6:22Speaker 1: still the media and still those organizations tried to tell
- 6:25Speaker 1: us no, they don't mean that, No, no, no, those
- 6:28Speaker 1: campus organizers. No, they just want peace and they want
- 6:31Speaker 1: the killing to stif Huh. Well, now look where we
- 6:33Speaker 1: are now after all that, because they kept feeding this
- 6:36Speaker 1: message and the media kept feeding it. To us, and
- 6:39Speaker 1: they bought it, hook line and sacre, and they pushed it.
- 6:41Speaker 1: What do we have now now forever, We've got that
- 6:45Speaker 1: phrase in that chant that free Palestine directly directly forever,
- 6:49Speaker 1: now tied to an international murder That's where we are.
- 6:56Speaker 1: We bought it. This is what they told us. This
- 6:58Speaker 1: is why you can't that kind of propaganda when they say,
- 7:01Speaker 1: when you see it with your own eyes. We all
- 7:03Speaker 1: saw the news video. We all saw Jewish kids in
- 7:06Speaker 1: Ivy League campuses and others blocked out of their college campus,
- 7:09Speaker 1: out of their classes. We said, well, they're just trying
- 7:12Speaker 1: to draw attention to their cause, to help out what's
- 7:15Speaker 1: going on in Gaza. And if you bought that, I'm
- 7:17Speaker 1: sorry because you are willing to do that, You're willing
- 7:22Speaker 1: to go a step further and to now tie it
- 7:26Speaker 1: to murder an international incident that's tied forever. And I'm
- 7:29Speaker 1: sorry that chance that you heard there from that creeper
- 7:33Speaker 1: right there, for that Cretan that's now directly tied to
- 7:36Speaker 1: an international murderous event forever. That's what it is. Sad said,
- 7:42Speaker 1: horrifying story. And I hate talking about stuff like that,
- 7:44Speaker 1: but it is what matters to you and me is
- 7:47Speaker 1: what's this information that's been fed to us. Let's reframe
- 7:50Speaker 1: this and send it back out. Yeah, we don't get
- 7:52Speaker 1: fooled again. Sorry, it's not gonna happen. So whee. When
- 7:55Speaker 1: you see things like something as extreme as taking over
- 7:59Speaker 1: college capi buildings and government buildings that happened too in
- 8:02Speaker 1: smaller communities and locking other students out of their classes
- 8:05Speaker 1: that they pay for and threatening them at violence on
- 8:07Speaker 1: campus and things like that, completely be aware that. Ask yourself,
- 8:12Speaker 1: I wonder, what's the next step on this? What are
- 8:14Speaker 1: they capable of? If they're willing to do that and
- 8:16Speaker 1: they're completely covered and protected by local organizations, those schools,
- 8:21Speaker 1: the media, city officials, what are they capable of? Here's
- 8:26Speaker 1: your answer. Murder. That's what happened and now an international incident.
- 8:32Speaker 1: The takeaway and the lesson is just keep your eyes
- 8:35Speaker 1: and ears open for that kind of stuff. You see
- 8:37Speaker 1: that kind of violence percolating, it doesn't usually stop. And
- 8:40Speaker 1: now here we are, everything just changed with that incident
- 8:43Speaker 1: last night. It's just terrible you feel for those two. Anyway,
- 8:46Speaker 1: here's what else changed last night. The whole world is
- 8:49Speaker 1: looking at South Africa a lot differently now and we've
- 8:52Speaker 1: all heard the stories of genocide African farmers. Was it
- 8:55Speaker 1: last week? I think it was the week before last.
- 8:56Speaker 1: We had all of the uh about fifty or sixty
- 9:00Speaker 1: of them, I think South African refugees, and they were
- 9:02Speaker 1: welcomed to the country and they're a patriot, they're waving
- 9:04Speaker 1: American flags, that were happy to be there. And of course,
- 9:06Speaker 1: what were we told by the media. We were told that, oh,
- 9:09Speaker 1: Trump has no problem with white immigrants. Well, it's a
- 9:12Speaker 1: little different because a lot of the people crossing the
- 9:15Speaker 1: southern warder weren't hunted in their homes. That's a little
- 9:18Speaker 1: bit different of a story. So as it goes yesterday,
- 9:21Speaker 1: and I know you saw this story because it was
- 9:23Speaker 1: top trending in the world, worldwide press, not just in
- 9:26Speaker 1: the States. Trump welcomed the South African delegation, the leadership
- 9:31Speaker 1: there into the White House. Apparently they thought it was
- 9:34Speaker 1: going to be a nice, huggy, huggy friendly, warm and
- 9:38Speaker 1: fuzzy kind of meeting, and it didn't turn out to
- 9:40Speaker 1: be like that at all. I don't know why they
- 9:41Speaker 1: didn't pay attention to the Zelensky meeting, remember that where
- 9:44Speaker 1: Trump just sat him down and like spanked him. For
- 9:46Speaker 1: God's sake. I don't know why they didn't think that
- 9:49Speaker 1: they were going to get the same treatment. But in
- 9:51Speaker 1: the middle of it, Trump turns to the entire delegation,
- 9:55Speaker 1: but specifically the South African president and he says, what's
- 9:58Speaker 1: going on. It's unacceptable, It unbelievable. What's happening. We've all
- 10:01Speaker 1: seen the reports. It's terrible. South African farmers to being killed,
- 10:04Speaker 1: it's being hunted, is terrible. And he turns and he goes,
- 10:07Speaker 1: do me a bit, turn down the lights and let's
- 10:09Speaker 1: show a news report. Now, what was on this video?
- 10:13Speaker 1: The South African president himself video clips of him saying
- 10:17Speaker 1: we are going to take your land, even though he
- 10:19Speaker 1: protested it in the office, and he said, we're against that.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Then he showed rallies, stadium rallies of not elected government officials,
- 10:28Speaker 1: but big movements stadiums saying kill the farmers, kill the boar.
- 10:35Speaker 1: That's what happened. And Trump showed it directly in his face.
- 10:38Speaker 1: And if you saw this, pay attention to the South
- 10:40Speaker 1: African president and his reaction. He literally at one point
- 10:43Speaker 1: put his head in his hands because he knew where
- 10:45Speaker 1: it was going. With this. So here's Trump turning the
- 10:48Speaker 1: lights down, yet shining a light on those atrocities happening
- 10:52Speaker 1: in that country.
- 10:53Speaker 3: Turn the lights down, turn the lights down, and just
- 10:57Speaker 3: put this on this right behind you.
- 11:03Speaker 1: We thought you from you, from the present, from okay.
- 11:12Speaker 1: So you imagine you're the South African president. You see this.
- 11:16Speaker 1: You didn't expect an audio visual show of the atrocities
- 11:19Speaker 1: being shown that's happening in your country in the Oval
- 11:22Speaker 1: Office meeting. You weren't prepared for it. Apparently that's part
- 11:25Speaker 1: of the ambush, says the media. We'll get to that
- 11:27Speaker 1: in a second. So you protest against it, and you
- 11:29Speaker 1: come on, you say, we are completely against that. That's
- 11:31Speaker 1: not our official policy. And he went so far as
- 11:33Speaker 1: to say, and those people you showed in the video,
- 11:35Speaker 1: they're not elected officials. Trump comes back with exactly what
- 11:38Speaker 1: he wanted to say. He said, but you're not doing
- 11:41Speaker 1: anything about it. Here was Trump's response, This is what
- 11:46Speaker 1: this is what really made the point.
- 11:48Speaker 4: And we we are you're taking you're taking people's land.
- 11:52Speaker 4: We wait, and those people, in many cases are being executed.
- 11:58Speaker 4: They're being executed and happened to be white, and most
- 12:02Speaker 4: of them happened to be farmers, and that's a tough situation.
- 12:05Speaker 4: I don't know how you explained that. How do you
- 12:07Speaker 4: explain that they're taking people's land away, and in many
- 12:12Speaker 4: cases those people are being executed, and in many cases
- 12:15Speaker 4: it's not the government that's people kill them and then
- 12:18Speaker 4: take their land.
- 12:19Speaker 1: And I don't know, if you're another world leader and
- 12:23Speaker 1: you're faced with that, how you even come back. I mean,
- 12:25Speaker 1: he should have just picked up and left, and he
- 12:27Speaker 1: was leaving. They're putting him in the limo after the
- 12:29Speaker 1: fact and they're asking them, Ah, how'd you think that went?
- 12:31Speaker 4: Oh?
- 12:31Speaker 1: It went well, right? Sure, went great for you. Sure,
- 12:34Speaker 1: because now the whole world is aware of this issue.
- 12:36Speaker 1: That's what Trump does. This could have been though. This
- 12:38Speaker 1: has been percolating and getting worse for the past I
- 12:42Speaker 1: think thirty years is where it's really been bad. It
- 12:44Speaker 1: goes further than that. Obviously, this is the counter reaction
- 12:47Speaker 1: to apartheid, and you know now it's different and it's true.
- 12:50Speaker 1: It's absolutely happening, despite what the media says. Apparently because
- 12:54Speaker 1: they're white farmers, this isn't allowed to be talked about
- 12:56Speaker 1: in the world press. I guess is that their reasoning.
- 12:59Speaker 1: I don't know. I know for a fact I think
- 13:01Speaker 1: I told you guys this story before. I had a neighbor.
- 13:04Speaker 1: They just recently moved. But when he moved into our
- 13:06Speaker 1: house next door, their South African family got to know
- 13:09Speaker 1: him and his great guy. And after a couple of conversations,
- 13:12Speaker 1: and he was talking to me about South Africa. And
- 13:14Speaker 1: this is before I knew anything. This was about ten
- 13:16Speaker 1: years ago, and he was talking about his homeland here
- 13:21Speaker 1: and how he happened to love the States. I said,
- 13:23Speaker 1: what how come you guys moved here? Was it business?
- 13:25Speaker 1: Whatever it was? You know what his response was to
- 13:27Speaker 1: me was he said to me directly, well, we didn't
- 13:29Speaker 1: want to be murdered. That gets your attention. As I have, like,
- 13:33Speaker 1: you know, a bag full of leaves. I'm like, what
- 13:36Speaker 1: you know, thinking it's going to be a casual conversation.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Went on to tell me, and I had no reason
- 13:41Speaker 1: to doubt the guy's story exactly what was happening there,
- 13:43Speaker 1: and that was that was years ago. This has been
- 13:45Speaker 1: building up, they told me directly. So when you hear
- 13:48Speaker 1: something like that and a neighbor tell you about atrocity,
- 13:52Speaker 1: he's a homeland, you tend to look it up and
- 13:53Speaker 1: understand the issue. It's absolutely horrific. It's horrific, and this
- 13:58Speaker 1: is something that any American president for the past three
- 14:03Speaker 1: administrations could have done to address and done the exact
- 14:07Speaker 1: same thing Trump did by simply, ironically by turning the
- 14:11Speaker 1: lights down and showing a videotape shining a light on
- 14:15Speaker 1: exactly what those atrocities are. But what's the reaction now,
- 14:19Speaker 1: what we were lied to about this for decades? Did
- 14:22Speaker 1: you think that was going to stop yesterday? No? No,
- 14:25Speaker 1: of course not. Of course they're not going to stop that.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Because if you paid any attention to this coverage yesterday
- 14:30Speaker 1: on the traditional we call them the mainstream news outlets,
- 14:35Speaker 1: what was the one word you heard over and over
- 14:37Speaker 1: and read and over and over and over again. Ambush, ambush.
- 14:44Speaker 1: It was just yesterday, probably about this time during the
- 14:47Speaker 1: live stream. Remember I was talking about this, You and
- 14:49Speaker 1: I were talking about one of the telltale signs of
- 14:52Speaker 1: picking up propaganda is when all of these media outlets
- 14:55Speaker 1: coordinated with the politicians used the same word or phrasing,
- 14:59Speaker 1: exact same word phrasing. That's when you know it's propaganda
- 15:03Speaker 1: and they're trying to have an issue and control the narrative. Well,
- 15:07Speaker 1: ambush was the word yesterday? Would you like some proof?
- 15:10Speaker 1: Would you? Okay? Well, here you go, here's just And
- 15:15Speaker 1: this could go on for two minutes straight of television media,
- 15:18Speaker 1: television news, mainstream corporate news telling you that this was
- 15:21Speaker 1: an ambush yesterday. Well was it really.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Part of the dramatic scene in the Oval Office today?
- 15:27Speaker 1: The tense confrontation President Trump ambushing the President of South Africa.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Next another Oval office meltdown, President Trump ambushing the President
- 15:35Speaker 1: of South Africa.
- 15:36Speaker 5: President Trump is being accused of conducting something of a
- 15:39Speaker 5: diplomatic ambush a South Africa's president in the Oval Office.
- 15:42Speaker 1: To be with you, I'm Katie, sir, President Trump orchestrated
- 15:44Speaker 1: another Oval office ambush. I've got a minute and a
- 15:49Speaker 1: half left to play of that, but I'm not gonna
- 15:50Speaker 1: bore you. These are office clips all put together of
- 15:54Speaker 1: the same word, the same propaganda being pushed by the
- 15:57Speaker 1: by different media Outlet's all the same ones. But now
- 16:01Speaker 1: it's okay though, Right when you start to hear this
- 16:03Speaker 1: stuff and you become aware of it, it's scary at first,
- 16:07Speaker 1: because then you start to realize and you come out
- 16:08Speaker 1: of that news bubble. You're like, oh my god, that
- 16:10Speaker 1: actually he's right, that actually happens, that they really actually
- 16:14Speaker 1: do that. Well, of course they do that, and that's
- 16:15Speaker 1: scary and it's depressing it first, but then there's this
- 16:17Speaker 1: imp You get this feeling of empowerment. Once you can
- 16:20Speaker 1: see it. It's like you have a superpower. You can
- 16:22Speaker 1: see through all the propaganda and how they work. Now
- 16:24Speaker 1: you start to understand. But then you start to pick
- 16:26Speaker 1: it up, and then you start to realize how often
- 16:29Speaker 1: this actually happens. When you can read it, when you
- 16:31Speaker 1: can see it, you can't unsee it. You get a
- 16:34Speaker 1: sense for how they actually control the narrative that way,
- 16:36Speaker 1: and it's all just crap. Like I said in the introduction,
- 16:39Speaker 1: I think there's my answer. If you ever thought that
- 16:43Speaker 1: these news organizations, we're gonna take advantage of this golden opening,
- 16:47Speaker 1: this great opening to just do straight news or report
- 16:49Speaker 1: the facts, which is all people want these days. Nope,
- 16:52Speaker 1: they won't do it. They're too corrupt. They're not gonna
- 16:55Speaker 1: get better. They're just gonna lie and propaganda their way
- 16:58Speaker 1: into obscurity. And that's okay, And that's all right because
- 17:02Speaker 1: now so many of us are aware of it. So
- 17:04Speaker 1: that's a good thing. Ambush, unbelievable, all right, been a
- 17:08Speaker 1: lot of dark stories in the live stream today, But
- 17:10Speaker 1: we don't control the news. We just process it and
- 17:13Speaker 1: decide how we feel about it. But how do you
- 17:15Speaker 1: feel about this one? What's graduation season? Congratulations all you grads.
- 17:19Speaker 1: I see all the graduation signs in my neighborhood. This
- 17:22Speaker 1: one's going to FSU, this one's going to embry riddle,
- 17:24Speaker 1: this one's going to stand for a lot of Apparently,
- 17:26Speaker 1: we have a lot of smart kids in my neighborhood,
- 17:27Speaker 1: which is great, good, good for you. So when you
- 17:31Speaker 1: graduate out of college and you get to that point,
- 17:34Speaker 1: a big deal is the graduation ceremony. I've done a
- 17:36Speaker 1: couple of them in the crowd. I gotta tell you,
- 17:40Speaker 1: as a parent, let's be honest. Here's the truth. You
- 17:44Speaker 1: go to a graduation ceremony, you're interested in one thing,
- 17:47Speaker 1: hearing your kid's name. And if you my daughter went
- 17:50Speaker 1: to a massive university where it was it was thousands
- 17:55Speaker 1: of names we listen to, but you only care about yours.
- 17:58Speaker 1: And they drag on and they're long in there, you know,
- 18:00Speaker 1: but still a proud moment. You gotta go well, let's
- 18:03Speaker 1: go to Pace University in Upstate New York. They're doing
- 18:07Speaker 1: something a little different. And I'm telling you, I think
- 18:09Speaker 1: I'm maybe the only one who actually think this is
- 18:12Speaker 1: a good idea. I think I'm completely alone in the
- 18:14Speaker 1: universe on this. But I don't know. Maybe you're right
- 18:16Speaker 1: and I'm wrong. First of all, here's an announcement a
- 18:21Speaker 1: recent post from Pace. This week, we celebrated more than
- 18:25Speaker 1: thirty two hundred remarkable graduates in front of a crowd
- 18:28Speaker 1: of nearly twenty thousand at the USTA Billy Jean King
- 18:32Speaker 1: National Tennis Center. Check out the press release and then
- 18:34Speaker 1: they have all their video and this is where the
- 18:35Speaker 1: world find out about it. Because Pace is doing something
- 18:38Speaker 1: a little different this year. It's a lot of people
- 18:40Speaker 1: to get through. That's a big crowd. And well, Pace
- 18:43Speaker 1: has decided to go with artificial intelligence name announcements. That's right.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Here's how it works. So they pre enter their information.
- 18:53Speaker 1: All the kids have phones that they take worth their
- 18:55Speaker 1: phones with them in the line and they hold like
- 18:59Speaker 1: you're checking out, you're going out to a plane, like
- 19:01Speaker 1: with your boarding pass, and they go up to the
- 19:04Speaker 1: I think it's the Dean directly and he scans it
- 19:07Speaker 1: with a little with a little scan gun like the
- 19:10Speaker 1: little QR code and the end and the AI generated
- 19:14Speaker 1: voice reads the kid's name, and it's fast and it's efficient,
- 19:18Speaker 1: and it sounds like this.
- 19:20Speaker 5: Kelly Danko, Sophia Cicero, Emily up Coastade like screen, Sabrina Alley.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Okay, now the voice. First of all, here's a little
- 19:38Speaker 1: side note. How good do they have the artificial intelligence voices?
- 19:42Speaker 1: Now that's all fake. That's that sounds like big voice
- 19:46Speaker 1: stadium anouncer guy. That's wow. Boy, they come a long
- 19:50Speaker 1: way in that. But that's what they did. So it
- 19:53Speaker 1: was fast, it was efficient. They got through their thirty
- 19:56Speaker 1: two hundred kids with no problem. But oh three, let
- 20:01Speaker 1: me read some of these to you. To the reaction
- 20:03Speaker 1: to this, one student said, it's AI. We were directly told,
- 20:09Speaker 1: so we gave it a website spelling it. It gave
- 20:11Speaker 1: us the audio they're getting read at graduation. I'm getting
- 20:16Speaker 1: the ick at my own graduation. Another post said it's preposterous.
- 20:21Speaker 1: Parents are chiming in saying they're horrified that this is
- 20:25Speaker 1: this is such an impersonal treatment of their students that
- 20:28Speaker 1: tried so hard and they paid so much money. I
- 20:33Speaker 1: hate to be the contrarian on this, but I've sat
- 20:36Speaker 1: through some of these graduation ceremonies. I think it's kind
- 20:39Speaker 1: of awesome. Here's the first reason why it was quick
- 20:42Speaker 1: and efficient is how it did it. It sounded great
- 20:45Speaker 1: and you know what else, how many times you've been
- 20:47Speaker 1: to a graduation and the dean just massacres a kid's name.
- 20:51Speaker 1: It was none of that with AI. It was all
- 20:53Speaker 1: perfect and it worked great, and it was quick, and
- 20:55Speaker 1: nobody was waiting. What's the better option, waiting until day
- 21:00Speaker 1: or a mix up in line and they can't pronounce
- 21:02Speaker 1: your name. I don't see what the problem is. And
- 21:05Speaker 1: let me tell you something. You can protest all you want.
- 21:07Speaker 1: I think this is coming to college campuses and graduation
- 21:10Speaker 1: ceremonies all over the country. I'd be totally fine with it.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Just get us in and out of there quickly. Now
- 21:16Speaker 1: there is one drawback because you know it's AI generated
- 21:21Speaker 1: and they're scanning off a phone, right and it's all
- 21:24Speaker 1: approved by the college. How soon before some college kid.
- 21:29Speaker 1: This is the only thing that may stop it before
- 21:31Speaker 1: some smart ass college kid hacks the system. Here and
- 21:35Speaker 1: you scan the name and the AI voice says Harry Balls.
- 21:41Speaker 1: Harry Balls, fill mccreken from everyone put it like a
- 21:47Speaker 1: Bart Simpson on it, So that may be the only
- 21:50Speaker 1: thing to stop it. But AI graduation ceremonies are here,
- 21:53Speaker 1: and they're probably here to stay. I don't know whatever.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Thanks for fighting me. I appreciate it so much. I'm
- 21:57Speaker 1: out of material. I get it. I got out of here,
- 21:59Speaker 1: and I know you do too. So we're motoring towards
- 22:02Speaker 1: the weekend. Tomorrow's Friday. We'll have all kinds of Memorial
- 22:04Speaker 1: Day stuff to talk about. For sure, looks like gas
- 22:06Speaker 1: prices are down across the country. Huh, nobody's talking about that.
- 22:10Speaker 1: I noticed. But the takeaways from today, like always, this
- 22:14Speaker 1: is a constant when it like proof positive with the
- 22:17Speaker 1: ambush word from today, anytime you hear the same word
- 22:22Speaker 1: or the same exact phrases come from media outlets or politicians,
- 22:27Speaker 1: that's when you know it's generated propaganda. For sure, that's
- 22:29Speaker 1: the main takeaway. But we all know that, and it's
- 22:31Speaker 1: a good thing that we all recognize that now. And
- 22:33Speaker 1: the other thing whenever you see a movement starting like
- 22:36Speaker 1: free Free Palestine, and it starts violent and you think
- 22:39Speaker 1: it's going to stop there. It never does. Now you
- 22:41Speaker 1: got that international incident on your hands. It was very sad.
- 22:44Speaker 1: But that's the other takeaway and get ready for ai
- 22:47Speaker 1: commitsment addresses unbelievable. All right, thanks for finding me. I
- 22:50Speaker 1: appreciate it. Don't forget about the audio podcast as soon
- 22:52Speaker 1: as we wrap up here, it posts about a half
- 22:54Speaker 1: hour after the fact wherever you happen to be in

- 23:14Speaker 1: wicked awesome Thursday. We'll take a crap from anybody. We'll
