  Speaker 3: All right, here we go the aired Out podcast live
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: from a snowy North Main Street, Berry, Vermont. Have you
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: explored the all new Mazda inventory over at Montpelier Masta.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: You are not going to believe your eyes if you
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: have not been on their site Montpieliamazda dot com. You
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: got to check it out. Every model, every color imaginable,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: every style that you could possibly dream of. All you
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: gotta do is get on the website or stop in,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: better yet to Montpilia Masta and schedule a test drive.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Very good morning to Linda, to Chris, to Glenn, to Stacy,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: and to the rest of you that are tuned in
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: this morning, whether you're live on YouTube or Facebook, we
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: appreciate your eyes, your ears. I'm Jade Green. You got
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: the aired Out podcast from Flying the Wall Productions. We
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: have a winter weather advisory until seven o'clock tonight. For
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: many of us. We have a sleet that is pengin'
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: off the wind shield or maybe your skylights at the house,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: but you can hear it. Yeah, it was. It was
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: bouncing off off my windshield this morning drive and it
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: was a at times, I want to say the whole time,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: but at times there were maybe some white knuckles this
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: morning getting in here for this old guy running a
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: few minutes behind as a result. But you know what
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna do right now. I am going to take
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: the time with you to do this. Not always do
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I do the black coffee, but this morning, that's what
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I'm doing. Yeah. Winter weather advisory until seven o'clock for
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: mixed precipitation snow and sleet anywhere from two to six
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: two to six inches ice, accumulation of a light glaze
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: to around one tenth of an inch before I forget
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: the Exit five north Field exit ramp if you're getting
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: off the Inner State. If you're on eighty nine South
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: and you want to get off at Northfield, that's fine.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: That is open. It was closed earlier, but it's open now.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: So this is pretty much all of us in northern
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: New York and central and northeast and northwest and southern Vermont.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Can the National Weather Service just say all of Vermont? No, No,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: that would be too easy. But again till seven o'clock tonight.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: So roads, especially bridges and overpasses, going to be very
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: slick and hazardous today. I've heard from a motorist who
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: traveled in from eighty nine to from Burlington on eighty
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: nine to Montpellier and said, for the most part, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: this was this was a couple of hours ago. For
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: the most part, the interstate wasn't that bad. But when
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: you get off at some of these ramps, some of
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: that transition, you go from you know, roads that have
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: been and the temperature is good for the salt, because
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: the salt's kind of working. But you go from you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: relatively kind of clean roads into some slushy stuff and
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: you can get a surprise on you. So just be
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: careful in the morning commute today, no matter where you are,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: all right, So again sleep pockets of freezing rain gonna
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: be coming into the picture by mid afternoon today. So
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: if you have if you have travel plans by mid afternoon,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: like say two to three o'clock, don't hold me to that,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: but just you know, keep that in mind. If you
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: can skip out early, it might be best to try
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: to you know, get get back home or wherever you're
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: going at a safe time. So thirty five degrees, little
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: heat wave, with all this fun weather from mother Nature,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: it looks like a twelve tonight, cloudy skies, and I
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: know I've got a I've got a friend in Florida
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: that's listening this morning. He knows who he is, and
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I know what he's thinking and saying right now. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: can't believe twelve degrees after all that shit coming down. Yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: twelve tonight and then tomorrow Friday, mix the sun clouds
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: in the morning, followed by mostly cloudy sky's, gusty winds
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: during the afternoon, and hies around twenty for the daytime
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: high tomorrow, but the winds occasionally gusting well over forty
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: miles an hour. What's that mean, Well, it could mean that,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: you know, we could get some some power outages, could
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: be isolated, could be widespread. I don't know. This time
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: of year, it is great to have a woodstove. It's
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: great to have a generator, but not everybody does. So
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: with that said, if you have neighbors that are disabled,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: or elderly, or in any other way, might constitute a
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: little check in, Throw them some love, give him a
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: phone call, check in with him, send them a text.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Just make sure you know heats on and they're okay,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: all right? This weekend, another system coming in Saturday, more snowshowers,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: and Sunday. And I'm watching this thing Sunday right alongside you. Okay,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: good morning, Joe Clayton Marion. We got a lot of
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: people tuned in this morning. I'm watching that weather system
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: on Sunday too. Yes, what am I saying? What is
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: the National Weather saying? National Weather Service saying, hey, Jim,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: first time listener, Good morning buddy, nice to meet you.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Welcome to the aired out family. Sunday. Let's see, chance
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: is snow one eight to twelve inches? Eight to twelve
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: inches so a potential winter storm? Or are we just
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: saying a winter storm?
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I was having fun with the National Weather Service, I
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: think yesterday or the day before saying what constitutes a
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: winter storm? It is one to three inches? Is that
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: a winter storm? And many for honors are saying no,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: that's just called snowshowers. But eight to twelve, what say
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: you post comment here, Jim, Donna Zach eight to twelve
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: would you say that that is a winter storm? I'm
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: leaning toward a resounding yes on that. M just drive
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: carefully and man, especially you know Sunday and the Monday,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: if you don't have plans, just stay put. Calling my buddy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Uh Zach here this morning. Zach, you're live.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Hey, how are you?
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I'm doing all right? Man, listen you top of the
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: morning to you. You You sent me uh a text
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: last night and I did what wow about Bill Frasier.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: You were watching, uh, you were watching this this city
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: council meeting happening live. Tell me what you what? You
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: what you caught? What's your what you experienced?
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: So my experience was that they came out of what's
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: called executive session.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: They've been in executive city Council. I'd been in the
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: executive session.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: I'd come on, uh near the tail end of that
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: executive session while everybody was waiting, and then they.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: Came back on.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: And a couple of motion, motion was made to come
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: out of executive session. And then.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: Exactly how I said it.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: In the text, the motion was made to I don't
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: have in front of me, but I try to say it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Motion was made to instruct the mayor to well, motion
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: was made not to renew Bill Fraser's contract, and to
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: instruct the mayor to come up draw up a separation
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: agreement and that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: There would be separance and June thirtieth would be Bill's
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: last day.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: How surprised. Do you think Bill Freezer, Montpelier City manager,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: was about at all last night.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: I don't think he was surprised.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: He had ended, he had written a I guess he
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: had written a letter to city staff earlier in the day.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: Because February fifth, their last.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Meeting, they had asked for legal counsel during renewal during
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: a routine evaluation of Bill's contract. Bill's contracts should have
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: gone through the March of twenty twenty six, and part
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: of this contract required the council to decide whether to
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: renew it by March first of this year, you know,
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: and they, from what I could see, they took kind
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: of a different action though, because he's going Bill's going
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: to be ending his work on June thirtieth, and there
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: will be severance, which is going to cost money.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: So you know, yeah, wow, uh, Bill has I think?
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't live in Montpellier, you do. Yeah,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: But my my experiences with Bill have been somewhat limited
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: over the years, but my general takeaway is that he's
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: he's a great guy, and he's.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: Done a wonderful guy.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: He's done an outstanding job. I mean, he's been at
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: that post, Zach since nineteen ninety five.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: But thirty years, thirty years unbelievable.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Huh yeah, really is do we know, like you know,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: some of the some of the reasoning behind.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: This, don't have any real concrete information. I can only speculate.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Maybe there's just some unhappiness somewhere. We know that Jack
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: McColl has said that he thought the the decision was
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: miss guided, uh, the mayor. He said that on the
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: on the council tape last night. So you know, I
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: think that there is frustration. I believe there's just frustration
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: uh somewhere because you know, the city's having to make
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: some dramatic cuts this year because of you know, lot money,
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: money situation finances.
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Everybody is everyone yeah, yeah.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: And in the uncertainty, we just don't know what's going
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: to come down the road.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Do we have you heard anything about what what happens
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: next here? Will there be uh? You know, are we
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: already do we already have some some folks that are
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: that are sniffing the seat here and and might want
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: to get in on this and become the next city manager.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Well, I would believe there would be a search that
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: would happen at some point. Do a search, and I
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: believe Bill is committed to a transition. I cannot imagine
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: what he is going through, and I can't even imagine
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: his dedications still do the job. I would be pretty frustrated,
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: you know. I have to say to the I understand
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: the critics. I get it, but man, you know they say,
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: you know, they say that. Bill always said in his
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: yearly reports. It's easy to make fun of the you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: government officials, but we had some hardworking people out there,
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: and one of them was Bill. I mean, I don't know,
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: I just was I just was shocked. I actually reacted
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: on my Facebook. People thought I wasn't okay or something.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: I said, No, it wasn't like that. But I'm shocked,
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and just you know, this wasn't this will
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: be you know, there was another attempt for Bill's job.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: You know, the council almost terminated Bill. I think it
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: was in twenty sixteen. Yes, yeah, and and so this
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: but this I knew something was up. On February fifth,
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: I really, you know, felt like there was going to
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: be some up and I think Bill felt that too.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: That's why he wrote that letter a few hours before
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: to city staff, indicating that he fully expected to not
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: have his contract renewed.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've since since you and I were chatting a
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: little bit last night, I have chatted with one other
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: person who has kind of resonated the same sentiment there
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: at them they could they could feel it in the air.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: So wow.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but we don't know the reasoning, you know, yet
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: and I'm not sure. Yeah, what's interesting is we have
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: a new city council that's going to come down in March,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: so people you know who are leaving aren't really going
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: to feel any repercussions of this.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Listen, this is Zach, this is small town Vermont. I'll
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm going to reach
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: out to Bill and extend an invite for him to
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: hop on the air with me here at some point, if, if,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: and when, And I say both if first of all,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: and when he would ever want to And maybe it'll
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: be the summer, maybe it'll be never. But it's not
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: easy for you know, when you live in a small town,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: it's it's not easy to sometimes get on a microphone
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: in the media and kind of h be you know,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: super transparent builds, a class builds a classy guy. He
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: will probably respectfully decline and just to take the high road,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: which of course that's what I'm expecting, all right, But
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: I'm still going to invite him to come on the
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: air here and just you know, yeah, just chat.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Just a really spectacular guy thirty years you know, I
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: think that he's if he looks at it in the
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: positive like he has been looking at it, that's a
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: good thing because I mean he's done a lot, right,
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: I think people it's easy to criticize.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: I get it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: We have that freedom still, we have that freedom to
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: do that, damn right. So and it's important to question
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: your government. There's not there's no I'm not saying don't
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: do that. I'm just saying he's a very spectacular guy. Yeah,
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: so you know, definitely push him the.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Best great insight there Man and and well very well said, yeah,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: you know, Bill, Bill Fraser has been through he has
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: been driving his city through two catastrophic floods. Yeah, in
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: a year's time. I mean that's not easy for any
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: city manager in any so anywhere.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: In fact, you know, before the flood in twenty twenty three,
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: just a few months before, we kind of were joking
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: about it, I said nineteen ninety two.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: I was around for that.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he said he wasn't and he wasn't the manager
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: at the time, and we made kind of a laugh.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: And then a few months later we get this one.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, so right, yeah, you know, listen, man, I hope,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I hope you hop in here sometime.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: I plan on hopping in and we'll talk again in
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: the future. Yeah, and again I'm gonna wish Bill the
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: absolute best and give him my best support.

  Speaker 3: like this when things happen, okay, And I'll give you
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: an example. My snowbrush the scraper broke off. There may
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: or may not have been some language when that happened.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: But if stuff happens on a morning like this, and you're,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: you know, frustrated. I went down yesterday, slipped on the ice,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: came down, It was okay, but the whole side of
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: my jeans were so con weet seemingly for the rest
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: of the day. Frustrated. Oh Yeah, tweaked the knee just
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: a little bit. Not bad. If I had gone to
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Nelson's and got some rock salt like I had been
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: meaning to, and I put that to it probably wouldn't
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: have happened. Just saying will I be getting over there
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: and getting a new snowbrush for the car? Yes, with
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: a decent scraper on there. Yes, I will be doing that.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I know that punk Satani Phil said six more weeks
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: of winter, and somebody should get a shot off on
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: that thing. I'm a little tired of Phil coming out
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: of the hole every year and saying six more weeks.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: But yes, we have more winter ahead of us. However,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: if you walk through the doors over it nelson is Hardware,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: you will find hope and inspiration for warmer weather. They've
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: got the Scots lawn products that are already lined up.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: They've got Ortho home defense, they've got stuff for the
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: patchy lawn that you need to fix up. That's hope
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: right there. When you walk into Nelson Hardware and you
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: see grass seed, turf builder stuff like that means green
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: weather is coming. Summer's come. And speaking of green almost
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: forgot Thank god, the shamrock shake is back out. I've
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: been waiting, as you know, I've been telling you I've
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: been waiting for a long time. South Berry's McDonald's has
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: the Shamrock Shake. I will be talking about this over
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: the next week or two. I know some of you
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: are like Jay. Every single year that I talk about
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: the Shamrock Shake, I get the same thing from the
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: same people. JD. Do you have any idea how bad
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: that is for you? Do you know what the chemicals
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: are in there? Do you know what any of that
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: stuff is? And you're consuming that, you're you're drinking that
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: it's disgusting. I wouldn't I wouldn't put that on my lawn.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I hear that from people, do not drink one of those,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: and they even tell me some of the chemicals that
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: are in there. Then I have the others that are
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: shamrocks shake freaks like me. Wouldn't put one down. They'd
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: put three down if they had the opportunity to with
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: extra whipped cream. Those are my people, like Glenn Brummer,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: who was the first person to tell me that south
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Berry McDonald's had the Shamrock Shake. So, by God, I'm
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: going to get over there and I'm going to get
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: at least one for me and Glenn, if not two each,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to get over to his house and
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: we are going to pound these things back. Might even
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: stream live. I'm just glancing here at I'll be real
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: honest with you. I'm glancing here at stuff that's going
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: on in the world, and I'm seeing it all and
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: some of it is kind of freaking me out. Oh JD,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: don't let's start with the whole fear mongering thing. No,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: I'm not. Some of it really concerns me, and some
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: of it, you know, I just have to look look
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: away from and kind of giggle. Joe, Good morning, buddy,
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: how are you?
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Good morning?
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I'm doing all right. Did you see this AI robot
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: who had five thousand dollars to work with and got
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: involved with the stock market and was able to flip
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: that five grand in a week's time, Joe to thirty
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: eight thousand dollars.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: That one Jania have not yet, but I'm not surprised,
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: you know. I heard really interested.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: I heard this last night, and I'm like, man, I
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: gotta tell Joe about this. He probably already knows about it.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: But thirty no, so I don't know what the algorithms
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: are I don't know what the hell's going on here,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: But when we've got an AI robot, which is really
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: come on, let's be honest, it's it's really is. Can
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: we say this? Is it true to say that it's
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: really just a computer.
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but it's something that is programmed. You can find stuff.
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: The interesting thing that I've seen everywhere and I haven't
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: seen the situation, but yesterday I saw another very alarming situation.
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: I was actually gonna see if you saw it, I
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: second to you. It was AI chap bought talking about
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: some history stuff and they get going back and forth.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: And this is with a.
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: College student, right if I remember, I think it's a
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: Penn State student. That it was asking questions of going
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: back and forth and back and forth and back and forth,
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: and at the very end it was basically like humans
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: are worthless. You need to die, you know what I mean?
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: In essence, And you guys can go google that. It's
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: been on top of a bunch of news agencies that
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: are releasing it.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: You know, AI scary man. And right now I.
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: Talk to you guys who develop it, who say it's
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: really stupid. You know what I mean, It's not very
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: smart and that was kind of the the premise, and
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: they could hold it down. But you know, you even
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: see people like Elon and you know CEOs of Google
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: and things like that who have stepped aside and said, hey,
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: this is this is dangerous, this is bad. In two
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: years time read you know, the IQ of AI will
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: be greater than a human.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: So if you don't think that it's scavenging the internet,
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: because all it is a scavenger, right, So it goes
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: in the internet scavengers everything, finds a model that you
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: know you're looking at. And again it is programmable, right,
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: so we set the parameters.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Now the scary part.
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: Is in a couple of years is they are starting
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: to rewrite their own programs, right, yeah, so they're getting
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: caught rewrite program chat GTT, chat chat GPT. The first
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: generation was caught copying itself because it knew it was
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: going to get shut down, so it copied itself and
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: hit itself and then it lied about it, you know
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: what I mean.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately I had a great if I could think
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: of the quote, it was a really good quote. It
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: was you know the problem that where it sources its information.
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: Right now, when we go online and we as people
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: start talking bad about things, being mean to people, saying
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: that people are the devil or the kids or this
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: or this or this or whatever's bad the chat GPT
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: or whatever AI program's reading all this right right now?
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: If the bad out weighs the good, what do you
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: think that the what do you think the answer that
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: that machine's going to come up with for you?
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: And then now they're powering everything with it, your cars,
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: your everything.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: So what happens when one day.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: Doesn't want to work for you, you know what I mean,
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: or respond to you, or it realizes that you know,
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: we're the problem, you know, like I have.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: I have a little girl who's ten, and you have
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: a little boy who is what what is he? Twelve?
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Twelve?
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Do you do you wonder like I do every hour
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: of every day, what the life is going to be
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: like of our kids when they are thirty, forty fifty
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: years old.
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: The biggest thing I worry about, even beyond that, is
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: that there's going to be a world left for our
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: kids ten years.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: This is why. Yeah, this is the way I look
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: at it, right, and then I don't think I left
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: people are are talking about this, and in some.
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: Circles people are right, but it's you know, we don't
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: want to alarm people, right, so we don't want to
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: talk about the potential issues.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: But dude, think about this.
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: They're saying, in what two years time, it's going to
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: be way smarter than us. Right, we're making it so
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: it can self right its own programs now in a
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: few models, which is scary.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: So now we're taking the.
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: Human aspect and that what we consider the current watchdog
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: out of that program, and we're gonna.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Trust this thing to write its own programs. Now.
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: My biggest fear, and I think this should be everybody's
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: biggest fear as we're cheering on AI is think about it,
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: j D.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Four years from now, you don't.
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: Have a job.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: I don't have a job. No artist has a job.
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: They're already catching guys with chat bought these tragedy puts
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: who are making millions of dollars making songs by artists
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: that look like artists, but they don't exist like on Spotify.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: It's being a big Thing's.
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: A guy out there that's facing millions of dollars of
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: lawsuits and fines because of this.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: But The problem is is in.
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: Five years, four years, when we all wake up and
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: Chad GPT is kind of duror whatever, AI is taking
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: over everything, what are you going to do for a job?
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Got to comment here saying great conversations. It's important to
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: appreciate the AI test that they discovered where it was
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: copying itself and hiding was in the container where they
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: test things and then fix them. So while it's important
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: to test and fix those sort of things gets resolved,
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: it's what they don't discover. Then maybe we want to
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: be careful of being a fan of AI also a
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: fan of paying close attention to the concerns.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: Here, right, so you know four years from that will
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: be twenty thirty.
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: Right roughly right now, if anybody's paid attention to anybody who's.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Been talking about AI robotics.
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: This is where it gets even scarier. So Musk currently
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: has said there's gonna be twenty billion.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Robots by twenty thirty.
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: That's his own robots, not including anybody else's robots you
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: see out there.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: So we have what eight billion.
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: People on the planet right now, so the we're gonna
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: be out number two to one, all right, And now
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: they're already, you're already putting these robots in dealership manufacturers,
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: in food. McDonald's has an automated robot now, or an
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: automated kitchen now that serves food on the daals, right, pizza, pizza. Now,
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: what happens when everything goes automated, gets gets done by
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: a robot and or AI smarter than you, so they
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: don't need your for a job.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you, there's gonna be a world of people
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: out of a job.
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: And then if we don't have a backup, because everyone's like, oh,
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: you know, we're just gonna do We're just gonna make money, Well,
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: who the fuck's gonna pay us? Then the robots gonna
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: see us as a waste of money and they're not
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: gonna pay us. And then we're gonna all be starving
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: on the streets. And you think the looting was bad
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: a few years ago, it's gonna be.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm scared of.
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: Just I just I'm afraid of all these people get
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: good out of a job, designers, code writers, anything to
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: do with the arts. And now, if you if you
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: really read into all this AI, it was never even
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: supposed to get into the arts.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: It was never supposed to take over like it did.
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: People used the tool and utilized it in those fashions. Right,
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: So and again three years JD. What happens when aired
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: out is automated. Look at the radio right now, people
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: don't realize radio is AI.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: It's it's automic, it's automated.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: So many people don't realize there's no more DJs anymore. Today,
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: by the way, today is National Radio Day today.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, happy radio Day.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: You know well, I mean listen, I was in radio
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: for thirty three years. You were in radio for probably
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: at least that. Yeah, we have we've lived the changes,
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: the transitions that that industry he has has experienced. And yeah,
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: I mean now.
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: We're welcome to which is the craziest thing, right, These
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: radio stations are welcome to you know why because.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: The owners of these raio stations are fucking greedy. People
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: are greedy. That's the only way you get rich. Right,
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: If you're a.
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: Fuck a millionaire in this day and age, you've stolen
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: something from somebody and you're greedy.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: There's no other way that you can.
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: Tell me that the millionaire deserves to be a millionaire
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: because he's not fucking somebody over, right, now when we're
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: talk about billionaires, you know, pay taxes, cut your prices down,
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: make it more affordable for people who live. You know,
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: we have all these issues of you know, natural disasters
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: where people are gouging. But these are the same people
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: that we are expecting to give us tax breaks and
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean, look out for our best interest. No,
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: so they're going to replace all of us with robots
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: so they can become more efficient. A robot will work
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: twenty four hours a day. A robot costs what one
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: year's salary of most of these an executive costs, right,
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: or somebody who have a good talent that is being
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: paid for their talent.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Right right now, comment here, respectfully, AI fear and scare
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: is not much different when they said personal computers should exist,
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: and the same about the Internet and phones in everyone's pocket.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's that's a I agree.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but yeah, you know what, at that point when
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: those computers came out, we were in control.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: We controlled it. We opened up the world for us
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: to understand and learn more.
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: AI is not opening up the world for us to
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: learn more as people.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: It's opening it up, right. I remember, we need to
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: do all of our jobs now.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: I remember, Joe, when I was a kid, early eighties
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: and the Compact disc came in the CD, and I
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: remember there was a conversation of like, someday, I know, man,
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: I'm sounding like such an old bastard right now, but.
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: It's a hard it's a hard place delivery now because
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: we don't know, right.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, I remember, I remember when when people were like,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: someday there's going to be CD players in cars and
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: you know what that means. That means no one will
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: be listening to the radio anymore. I remember those days, Joe.
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, we have generations of people that are are
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: are kids now.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: They live on their phones, right, they don't even socializing
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: a child now is one of the hardest things to
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: do unless dedicate parents cheers, parents who control their kids
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: computer time, who watch what they do, who take them
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: out and take them hunting and play basketball, or have
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: them in sports, or have.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Them you know, learning still being a human. Right. So yeah, uh,
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: there was a movie years ago, right, I'm trying to
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: remember the name of the movie, A little Robot dude
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: that you.
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: Know, in the whole world, these guys are flying around
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: the planes because the world was doing its own thing right,
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: and then we didn't have to feel ourselves. We don't
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: have to get up, we don't have to go.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: To work anymore.
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: No, imagine that day like and if you listen, they're
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: telling you this like this. I'm not making this up,
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: I'm just listening.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: Right, So we can choose to not listen to people's opinions.
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: Even with politics, right, Like anybody knows me. I don't
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: shy away from anybody. I do have an opinion like
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: everybody else does. But we have to be open minded
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: enough to see what the other side could possibly bring.
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: And how do we stop gap that. You know, I
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: spent the night with a good friend of mine the
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: other night who is an AI programmer, who's continually telling
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: me that these things are dumb.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: These things are dumb, They're not very smart. I program
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: my program, my program.
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: But what happens when the bad people in the world, right,
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: like I.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: Use this this you know disassociation the other day? Guns?
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: Right, you know, we all we're hearing fromont We are
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: a pro gun state, right, but we also take the.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: Time to educate our kids about it, right.
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: But that same gun can fall into somebody else's hands
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: who do not have good intentions and to try to
• 39:01
  Speaker 8: destroy the world, like you know, how many people do
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: we know who are literally actively trying to destroy the world.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: What happens if isis kids. What happens if.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Be careful, because be careful because Mark is listening right now,
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: and if we if we have more of this conversation,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: I could be shut down as as I have been
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: in the past, shut down because I was talking about
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: the big event going on up at the Barry Auditorium, which.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: Uh oh yes, yes, yes, big, the.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Big show up there that just happened last weekend. But
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: I got to comment here it says, no, the job
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: will be taking care of the robots for a time.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: It won't be bagging groceries. It will be basic robotics
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: to take care of the robot backing groceries, changing our baseline.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: And then Josh also saying school will be robotic and
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: coding instead of check books and basic math. Basic math
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: will be basic math will be the uh the kindergarten
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: set list.
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: Awesome, and I hope that happens and that is part
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: of that equation. But again, it's just like terrorists and
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: all these things, like we do we do not have
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: systems in place to handle what that's going to bring. Now,
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: you're gonna tell me that bagger that you just said
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: lost their job is going to go become a computer programmer.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: No, you know what I mean? Like, let's be real here, Like,
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: and I appreciate the I want.
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: To talk to John and these guys because you know,
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: as we get so excited for things that they're going
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: to replace people, and we get it, but this is
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: not on a small scale. This is going to be
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: on a global scale, right, this is every business. Everybody
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: is going to be using it.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: Yes, the computers help, yes, but they just help.
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: You become a more efficient person in learning and running
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: and controlling things. Right, that didn't replace you know, ninety
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: percent of jobs out there. Are there going to be programmers? Yes,
• 41:05
  Speaker 8: but JD they are already programming these things to rewrite
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: their own programs.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: So at that point do we need anybody to do that.
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: They are already found robots using plastic printers and metal
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: printers to build other robots that they control, you know
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: what I mean.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so these things are happening.
• 41:19
  Speaker 8: It's again we can go back to that same word
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: that we're not supposed to say, and in the wrong
• 41:24
  Speaker 8: hands it becomes a weapon, and in the right hands
• 41:27
  Speaker 8: it becomes safety.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: So, Joe, have you seen have you seen yesterday the
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: photo of President Trump sitting behind his desk, golden curtains
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: behind him, and Elon's standing there with a ball cap
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: on with this with his fingers like this.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that.
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: You want to know what I see going on there?
• 41:51
  Speaker 8: I see people covering their tracks. I see people erasing
• 41:55
  Speaker 8: their receipts. I see people who.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: Are are taking care of the government.
• 41:58
  Speaker 8: I just posted a thing, literally, as you recalled me,
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: about how much our government pays one said unofficial official
• 42:05
  Speaker 8: who leads an unofficial watchdog. They fired several investigators, right,
• 42:12
  Speaker 8: you know, investigators the try to remember the name.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: You caught me way off guard this morning, inspector generals.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: So they're like, if you take a step back, and
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: I hate to say this, but because you know, I
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: don't want to, I'm not trying to be an asshole.
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: I'm not one way or the other. I don't care
• 42:28
  Speaker 8: for any party. I believe we need major reform in
• 42:31
  Speaker 8: this country, but we're going after the wrong people.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: You know, if you.
• 42:35
  Speaker 8: Step back and look at what's going on where we
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: are firing and taking out programs that are holding these
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: said people accountable for certain things that they have done.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Who have been finding these people for many things that
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: they have done. Now, if we want to.
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: Fix our government in that aspect, why are we not
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: going to the top and looking at the corporations and
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: all these things and realizing how they can help balance
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: out these things or help do better. No, we're a
• 42:59
  Speaker 8: race in our kids. We're rasing the Department of Education.
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: We're racing all these protections that we have as as
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: people to what so the billionaires cannot have rules anymore
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: and they can do whatever they want and they're just
• 43:12
  Speaker 8: making money off us.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen anybody go after a.
• 43:15
  Speaker 8: Billionaire in this current administration yet, or taxes or anything
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: that they're doing. Right, it's just all these little programs that,
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: oh they're mismanaged. You know what, there's mismanagement everywhere in
• 43:25
  Speaker 8: every business, right, And you don't go fire the whole
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: company because somebody's mismanaging when the guy who wrote the
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: law to that company is the guy who's firing everybody.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: You know, it's silly to me, But with.
• 43:38
  Speaker 8: AI, I really I'm scared, right, and then once we
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: get AI implemented in.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: The robots, how do we stop it? Is there a
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: plug that we can pull?
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: You seen have you seen the and if you haven't,
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: encourage you to google it. Have you seen the the
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: video of the robot that looks exactly like.
• 43:59
  Speaker 8: Elon oh Man. Well, then now you can buy sex robots.
• 44:03
  Speaker 8: You don't think that's going to cause an issue in
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: the world. You can buy this dog robot that when
• 44:07
  Speaker 8: nothing you know, they can turn the switch to attacking,
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: or they can turn the switch off to shut the
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: thing down right by again when it falls into the
• 44:15
  Speaker 8: wrong hands, which globally we see this.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: Right, What if the Ukraine gets a bunch of robots.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: You think they're gonna have them doing house charge for them. No,
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: they're gonna come on the front line, go to war.
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: How do you stop this?
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: Now?
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: We can't stop as people.
• 44:28
  Speaker 8: So now the other side is it gets their robots,
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: and now we have wars with robots and we're sitting
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: in the little terminator and we're wondering what we're gonna do.
• 44:36
  Speaker 8: Now again, we'll use that for a great example. What
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: happens when they replace.
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: All of our soldiers with robots.
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: Sure, you know, I have a bunch of guys in
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: the military that are defending this you know robots because
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: to the point now that we are in society, it's
• 44:50
  Speaker 8: helped us it it hasn't been something that can think
• 44:53
  Speaker 8: on its own.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I got another great comment here from Jim It says,
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: and this is brings great perspective in in the eighties,
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: I was a computer programmer who had to go around
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: to schools to explain we can benefit with all kids
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: needing programming or without I'm sorry, without all kids needing programming.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Balance our concerns against benefits teaching how to use the
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: new innovation, not how to be the engineer that works
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: on the innovation.
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: But when we have twenty billion robots by one company,
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: and that's not including Google, and if you see Google
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: has several you know options of robots. Now that we'll
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: take over the workplace, our auto manufacturing companies.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: Are not going to be robotic again.
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, what happens next year when these guys say, you know,
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: screw people, because again people are horrible. They're stealing from me,
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: their their are their their ips?
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: Anything.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Now it's going to be controlled by the globalists.
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: Now do we want to see China with with twenty
• 45:56
  Speaker 8: billion robots?
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: What good is that gonna do?
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: We're gonna put people out of work and at an extent,
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: at a huge rate, because that's what the plan is.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: Right. Uh Again, I.
• 46:10
  Speaker 8: Fall back to listen to a lot of these guys
• 46:12
  Speaker 8: talk about AI and the concerns, like, you know, AI
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: looks beautiful in one standpoint.
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: Right, robots look beautiful one standpoint. Hey, we can get.
• 46:19
  Speaker 8: Guys that are gonna go work for us, but what
• 46:21
  Speaker 8: happens to the people that we displaced? They're just gonna
• 46:23
  Speaker 8: go into robotic engineering and and you know, writing code
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: for these things.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: But again, I'm comfortable to that point. But where I'm
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: not comfortable is we're seeing it right now in today's
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: day and age, that these.
• 46:37
  Speaker 8: Not very smart programs are very smart robots are are
• 46:41
  Speaker 8: manipulating us because we're manipulated people. They're learning from everything
• 46:45
  Speaker 8: that we write down, right, everything that goes on the internet,
• 46:48
  Speaker 8: every insult, every every because you know there's two there's
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: three sides to every story. Let's say that right, there's
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: there's the left side, there's the right side, and there's
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: a truth.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: And I'm gonna use left and right just because of
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: the current state of the situation and the world we're in.
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: Right, because we're too busy bickering about literally the same
• 47:03
  Speaker 8: fucking thing.
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: JD.
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I get messages every day.
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: I haven't been I'm never quiet about politics when it's shitty.
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: And you know, the worst thing that we can do
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: right now is compare what we're in right now to
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: something that happened before.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: That is the worst thing we can do.
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: It's like saying, you know, it's like blaming Obama for
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: something that's happening right now.
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: It's like, wait, he was a president how many terms ago?
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Like, did he make some
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: fucked up shit?
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: Sure, But at the end of the day, our politics
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: are being driven by corporations.
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: We can argue about this all day long, but when
• 47:35
  Speaker 8: the powers that be that make all the money, the
• 47:37
  Speaker 8: black rocks, the vanguards or whatever, they are the control.
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: And our administrations are.
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: Puppets in my opinion, right, and they're designed to stay
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: there to divide. And you know, as you've seen and
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: I'm sure people will agree, the last ten twenty years
• 47:52
  Speaker 8: of our administration, we're blocking so many great things because
• 47:55
  Speaker 8: we just we can't let the other team win. You know,
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: Rex was out of your show a few weeks go
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: talking about teams, and it was a great, great, great
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: way to compare it, right, like, you know, yeah, the right,
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: the right sides my team, the left sides my team
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: when we're talking about the same exact situations. We we
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: still can't see that relationship, right.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: So you know, I've spent days literally.
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: Texting people people that I totally respect them, do not
• 48:21
  Speaker 8: agree with a lot of my my views of it.
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: I just try to take a realistic view about things, right,
• 48:27
  Speaker 8: because there's going to be a promocn to everything. Right,
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: there's a pendulum that shifts right, So even with the terrorists, right, So.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: Can we bring back manufacturing to America? Yes?
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: We can?
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: Is that bad thing? No? But think about what it's
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: going to do for Americans and without.
• 48:41
  Speaker 8: Talking about AI or robots, right, it is going to
• 48:45
  Speaker 8: to raise prices. It's going to put people back to work.
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: But we don't have the warehouse and we don't have
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: the manufacturer.
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: We don't have the companies here, right, And and then
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: we have to talk about the bigger picture. Why they
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: leave here?
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: Oh, because labor was way cheaper somewhere they didn't have
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: the oversight or all these rules to protect said people
• 49:05
  Speaker 8: and or governments or whatever.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: Right, so they have a restriction. So they go, hey,
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: I can build this cheaper in China. Right, it's cheaper
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: for me. It's cheaper for us to send.
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: Chicken to China to get main like let's say manufactured.
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: Or write process or whatever process and then sent back
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: to it to us.
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: Unreal.
• 49:23
  Speaker 8: Right, But we as people, we don't see this and
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: we don't care because our chickens two dollars cheaper a pound. Right,
• 49:28
  Speaker 8: But now when we give we bring that manufacturing back
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: to America. That guy that's in America who has a union,
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: who wants to get paid thirty dollars an hour for
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: assembling whatever. Right now you're looking at that thirty dollars
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: an hour guy, I was paying a guy thirty cents
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: in another country.
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: You know that.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: Well, we don't have. We don't have the unions protecting us.
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: We don't. And then we got a factor in the
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: corporate greed and inflation. I mean that's corporate greed, literally,
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: corporate greed. Do they have does Excellon have to record
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: record making years five years in a row? No, and
• 50:02
  Speaker 8: then they're gonna blame it on administration.
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: It's just a point and blame game. Everybody wants to
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: point somebody else.
• 50:07
  Speaker 8: And and and and deflect right, instead of taking care
• 50:10
  Speaker 8: of the situation in front.
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: But we gotta look at it like that JD. So
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: like that that.
• 50:14
  Speaker 8: That uh that you know that five five dollars whatever
• 50:18
  Speaker 8: you bought will now have to be fifteen.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: It's like food, right.
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: I tell this to people all the time, like me
• 50:24
  Speaker 8: as a I managed restaurants and businesses and shops and
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: things like that.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: And no one's gonna complain about this.
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: A guy the other day was complaining about paying sixteen
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: dollars for breakfast at McDonald's and he was pissed off
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: at McDonald's. But what you don't realize is that everybody
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: in the chain of from start to finish, of whatever
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: product you are buying has gotten a raise.
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: We put a bunch of raises out there. But again,
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: I don't disagree with paying people more money. But the
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: more money we pay somebody, the more money that product
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: has to be. The more money we pay somebody, the
• 50:55
  Speaker 8: more that prodcasts to be. These guys work on guidelines
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: and now you know, it's like the tariffs, Oh will
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: obs horrible. We pay the tariffs in this country. American
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: companies are paying teriffs. The company the country set in US,
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: whatever product is not paying anything more. Now, the hopes
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: of that is to deflect us from buying products, right
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: because it's gonna be more money. They're gonna lose sales,
• 51:14
  Speaker 8: They're gonna pull out. That's not, dude, with the world
• 51:17
  Speaker 8: the side it is, it's that should be. That's only
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: gonna be an issue, right, it is it is we're
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: paying the price. Now, you're gonna tell me that the
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: shippers and these large see these large companies who are
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: already gouging the American.
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: People, aren't going to continue to gauge them.
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: They're going to absorb a twenty five percent spiking their goods.
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: That's twenty five percent eighty that's a quarter, you know
• 51:40
  Speaker 8: what I mean?
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: I hear you, man, And there is there is God,
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: there's just some We're pretty much out of time here.
• 51:51
