  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac Studios, Mark Simone. Well, Ann Coulter,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the best-selling author, the great columnist. Make sure you follow
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: her on Twitter. Ann Coulter is very good on Twitter.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: And even better is her Substack. You've got videos and
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: podcasts and columns and interviews. AnnCoulter.Substack.com. Then she's got a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Rumble channel. You can watch her on Rumble. There's a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: lot of good stuff up there. Ann Coulter, how are
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you doing? Fantastic.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: How are you, Mark Simone?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. I don't like this fall coming
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: in so fast. Do you hear that? They were talking
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: about Halloween and the Christmas trees coming to Rockefeller Center,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and this is going way too fast, isn't it?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's fantastic. We can go see the tree together again.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I love the tree.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: It's the same tree every year. You've seen it a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: hundred times.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I know. Yes, it's the same Christmas decorations, and it's
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: so pretty. I love New York City at Christmastime. Oh,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you're such a curmudgeon.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, hey, what's going on in Florida? This governor's
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: race is Byron Donalds. He should have been a shoo-in.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Now he's battling and fighting. What's going to happen down there?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I assume a Republican will win. I mean, DeSantis,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: not necessarily because of, although Byron is fine. But DeSantis
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: has just worked miracles in that state. He has turned
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: it from purple to trending blue to really pretty solid
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: red now. And it's hard for me to believe that
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: his opponent is going to win.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: He's not the best.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think any Democrat can win. Maybe I'm wrong
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: about that, and I've put too much stock in DeSantis.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, the sad thing is, even thinking about it,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it's just heartbreaking that DeSantis can't run for another term.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I will remind you, I have always been against term limits.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I know Republicans tend to think, maybe Democrats do too,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: that it's like this silver bullet solution to avoid corruption. No,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it really isn't. States that have term limits are about
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the same as states that don't, or surprisingly don't. The
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: senators you remember are the ones who are long-serving, but
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: there does tend to be a lot of turnover. But
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the main thing is, once you get a really great
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: senator or a really great governor, you want to keep them.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I wish we could have kept Bloomberg as mayor of
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: New York. Think how wonderful that would have been.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but what you're talking about is like one
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: out of 5,000 politicians that you want to keep.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: The ones that aren't that great, the turnover is much,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I don't have it off the top of my head.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I have looked this up before. But the average number
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: of years in the Senate for all senators and the
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: average number of years in the House is not that long.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: You'd be surprised because you forget the names of the
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: guys who only serve a term. I work for a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: senator who served a term. Nobody remembers his name.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Hey, I found this fascinating, the AI
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: meeting yesterday. They assembled the 12 most brilliant human beings
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in the history of the world, the greatest geniuses ever,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: what to do about AI. Do you know what they
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: came up with at the end? They're going to have
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a committee and then have a panel. This is what
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: they came up with? We could have thought of that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: No, I actually, you will be pleased to hear this, Mr. Simone.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: You know, I do voice my criticisms of the president
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: when I have them. This is something he has been
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: absolutely fantastic on and so much better than many, many,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: many other Republicans. So much better than, for example, Fox
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: News and other conservative alleged spokesmen. And that is on
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: this AI business. Trump is right. The populists are wrong.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: And what a real leader does is tell them they're
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: wrong and explain to them why they're wrong. Right. I
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: get sick of politicians and pundits who just stick their
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: finger in the air, figure out which way the wind
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: is blowing. No, this isn't the job of the average
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: man on the street who has other things to do,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: like his job. Your job is to understand things and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to explain why this is a terrible idea to have regulation.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: as I have done in my last two columns on this,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: which you can see at my sub-sack, AnnCoulter.sub-sack.com, and AnnCoulter.com.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Regulation is just a way for the oligopolists to maintain
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: their monopoly. The big guys love regulation. It's the little
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: upstarts who might be able to beat them. The competition...
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: That's what regulation is about. And this is utterly, completely preposterous,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: this idea that, oh, AI, it could kill us all.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: The guy from Anthropica was going around saying that, Jacob Cochran,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: all over the news. He was like, I don't know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the new, what was the name of that guy who
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: went to prison and the Democrats wanted to run for
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: president against Trump?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, Avenatti, Avenatti.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the new Michael Avenatti for every channel. He's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: even on the cartoon channel. AI is going to kill
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: us all. And, you know, he kept bragging about how
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: he resigned from Anthropocene. He has no equity. He has
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: nothing to gain from going around saying this is dangerous, dangerous. But, no,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: before that he worked for OpenAI, and he does have
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: stock in OpenAI. You drive the stock prices up by
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: acting like this technology is so incredibly powerful that it
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: could destroy the world. Oh, my gosh, you've got to
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: invest in that. Who knew this was more powerful than
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: a nuclear bomb? Well, as I wrote in my column
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: last week, not the first column explaining the regulation point,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I just went through a bunch of questions I've asked.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: of Google AI and the absurd politically correct answers and refusal,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: refusal to punctuate a column, just absurd answers you get
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: from them, as you probably know. All these AI systems
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: have been asked year after year after year to predict
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: what will happen in the Kentucky Derby. Now, maybe not
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: just the winner, but you get like the top five
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: questions and they they are they put in all the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: data that is what they are supposed to be so
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: great at they they they pour through they can analyze
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: just gobs and gobs of information that would have taken
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: miles of computers to analyze before, and all these different
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: news organizations ask them to look at track conditions, predictions, training,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: you know, pedigree of the horse, everything you can possibly
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: look at. And every year, not only are the AL
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: predictions wrong, they're shockingly confident and detailed. And, you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: at this pole, this horse will pull a head, and
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: then the other one will really kick in. and they
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: have been spectacularly wrong. I think I told you last
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: week about the Chevrolet dealership that used ChatGPT for help
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: with customer service. Can't they just explain how the car works?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And all these ChatGPTs at Chevrolet dealerships around the country,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: they started selling $ 76, 000 cars for $ 1. That's how great
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: it's working. So that's why they want people and potential
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: investors to think, whoa, this is so powerful, it could
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: kill us all. No, it can't kill us all. So
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Trump is right, and good for him. This is what
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: a leader is supposed to do.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, Ann Coulter, did you see the Bruce Blakeman tax plan?
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It's a phenomenal tax plan. No tax, people under $ 50, 000,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: married couples, nobody under $ 100, 000 pays any tax. Amazing tax rates,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: cut $ 20 billion out of it. Isn't that what all
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the Republicans are supposed to be doing, pitching stuff like that?
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Well, I kind of disagree with you on that. I
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: think everybody should have some skin in the game. That's
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: my complaint. It's one of my many complaints. I have
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: so many complaints with George Bush that this probably wouldn't
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: be in the top 50. But his big tax cut,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: remember he was bragging about how he's going to knock 20%
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: of taxpayers. They don't have to pay any taxes. Well, okay.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And by the way, he gets no credit from the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: New York Times for that. Zero. Zilch. uh... but he's
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: just taken away one of republicans best issues when half
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: of americans art paying taxes they're not voting to lower
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: taxes so everybody get the poor people people at the
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: lower end of the airport making fifty thousand dollars they're
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: doing fine uh... but but but the lower half and
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: particularly poor people, get a lot more in government services
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: than the ones who are paying for those government services.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I think everybody needs to have skin in the game.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I'm against completely throwing everyone off.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: That's a very good point. That's an excellent answer.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Tax rolls.
• 9:31
