Latest / Profits & Politics / AOC makes a big mistake. And will Trump keep us alive so he can money off AI?
Transcript
- 0:15SPEAKER_02: Hey morning, everybody.
- 0:16SPEAKER_02: Welcome to the Morning Call Show.
- 0:18SPEAKER_02: I'm Bob Sellers here with Jerry Burke.
- 0:20SPEAKER_02: Couple news guys trying to find the right and wrong in between the right and left.
- 0:23SPEAKER_02: Because frankly, folks, look, if you watch Newsmax, you watch Fox, you see one side.
- 0:33SPEAKER_02: We're in the middle.
- 0:34SPEAKER_02: We kind of see right and uh wrong on both.
- 0:38SPEAKER_02: So that's what we try to do here.
- 0:40SPEAKER_02: So uh Jerry, what'd you what do we start with today?
- 0:44SPEAKER_03: Well, you had some very interesting video of AOC from uh the 9-11 festivities or ceremonies.
- 0:52SPEAKER_02: I think they said they talk about how this is four seconds of video.
- 0:57SPEAKER_02: See if I can find it.
- 0:58SPEAKER_02: Uh it's this is 12 seconds, but it's four seconds that uh uh that really matter.
- 1:04SPEAKER_02: Uh take a look at this, folks, and how this is going to not serve AOC well now.
- 1:08SPEAKER_01: Andrew Lecourt, Carol Ann Leplance, Jeffrey G.
- 1:14SPEAKER_02: Latouche, Catherine L.
- 1:17SPEAKER_01: Labore, Amarneth Lachman, Ganesh K.
- 1:22SPEAKER_01: Ladcut, James Patrick Ladley.
- 1:27SPEAKER_03: Nothing.
- 1:28SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they're they're yucking it up.
- 1:31SPEAKER_03: And you know what's heartbreaking is just a shot or two before we get to her, you see that man just with his head bowed weeping.
- 1:40unknown: Yeah.
- 1:40SPEAKER_03: You know, it's like, come on, get a clue.
- 1:43SPEAKER_02: And when you think of the camera person or the director, you and I have been in uh the booth uh when these things happen.
- 1:51SPEAKER_02: A director is looking for shots, queuing up shots.
- 1:53SPEAKER_02: And there's no question you always have a camera on the mayor or on some of the other dignitaries, right?
- 1:59SPEAKER_02: Because you have more than one camera.
- 2:00SPEAKER_02: It's not like somebody's just going this way.
- 2:02SPEAKER_02: So you know and you want to show the poignancy of the moment.
- 2:06SPEAKER_02: You have these poor kids who have lost somebody and they're reading the names, and this person literally crying, and you properly cut to a dignitary.
- 2:16SPEAKER_02: And we see them laughing.
- 2:18SPEAKER_03: And their belly, it's not even just a chuckle, it's a belly laugh.
- 2:21SPEAKER_03: They're really enjoying themselves.
- 2:24SPEAKER_02: Now, there are ways to greet people pleasantly, uh a solemn remembrance, commemoration.
- 2:31SPEAKER_02: That ain't it.
- 2:32SPEAKER_03: No, it just reminded me of Biden checking his watch every couple of minutes, you know, as he was watching the coffins be unloaded from overseas.
- 2:41SPEAKER_03: That was just terrible.
- 2:43SPEAKER_03: You know, really, really just thoughtless.
- 2:46SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 2:46SPEAKER_03: Um, but uh anyway, do you want to show a little bit of that commercial?
- 2:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah, hang on a second though.
- 2:53SPEAKER_02: Just just so folks know, we uh I mentioned at the top that we try to look at both sides.
- 2:58SPEAKER_02: This was Trump at different stages during the 9-11 ceremony, uh, purportedly asleep.
- 3:05SPEAKER_02: And people felt like that was disrespectful.
- 3:08SPEAKER_02: So we're not saying that anybody has the the moral high ground here, um, although the 9-11 families do.
- 3:15SPEAKER_02: And that's a situation in which uh look, we the it's going, it's not gonna cost Trump.
- 3:22SPEAKER_02: People are dealing with Trump, whatever.
- 3:25SPEAKER_02: But AOC, this is something that's that could have some legs that actually could cost her politically.
- 3:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah, there is a video that I may not show all two minutes.
- 3:35SPEAKER_02: It it's uh from the governor, uh gubernatorial candidate from the Republicans in New York running against Kathy Hokel, who notably recently was wearing hijab at an event.
- 3:49SPEAKER_02: I'll just show you the first part of this to give you a feel for how people may respond to what's happening with nine eleven.
- 4:45SPEAKER_02: I think the point is made.
- 4:47SPEAKER_02: Uh it goes on from there that this person, this woman, uh ends up voting for the Republican for Blakeman when she goes into a polling place.
- 4:56SPEAKER_02: Um we don't want to take sides in an election, but we do want to observe that there are a lot of people that feel like 9-11 this year really hit hard.
- 5:07SPEAKER_02: And you can't help but be struck by the fact that there's uh a Muslim mayor, whereas what was it, uh 19 Muslims uh flew into the World Trade Center, Pentagon, uh Shanksville, Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
- 5:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 5:25SPEAKER_02: And that the Democrats have a Muslim issue, if you will.
- 5:29SPEAKER_02: You and I have worked with people of uh uh of Islam, and they are some wonderful people.
- 5:36SPEAKER_02: So this isn't to categorize, but you can't ignore that there are many people that are bothered uh by what some Muslims are doing right now.
- 5:46SPEAKER_03: Well, I also have to I want to say that there are radical elements in Islam that are, you know, they're smart, and they are using the Democrat Party as a Trojan horse to come into America, influence elections, influence society, you know, and they're openly talking about Sharia law.
- 6:06SPEAKER_03: They're building mosques all over the country.
- 6:09SPEAKER_03: It this is a new wave.
- 6:12SPEAKER_03: This is a new invasion.
- 6:13SPEAKER_03: You see what's happening in Europe, you know.
- 6:17SPEAKER_03: It's been an issue in Europe.
- 6:19SPEAKER_03: It's not happening quietly, it's happening right out in front.
- 6:22SPEAKER_02: And I think that's one of the concerns that people have is uh that politicians like Hochel, Mom Donny, um are really ignoring what a lot of people feel.
- 6:35SPEAKER_02: Now, Blakeman, once you get outside New York, it's pretty conservative.
- 6:38SPEAKER_02: He may do well with those, but he's trying to get it to people in New York who have elected Republicans before, by the way.
- 6:44SPEAKER_02: And so he's trying to get them to give him a chance and remind them this is not going the right direction.
- 6:50SPEAKER_02: And I would return to uh uh the idea that the Democrats do have a Muslim issue.
- 6:57SPEAKER_02: I'm not saying all Muslims are radical.
- 6:59SPEAKER_02: I am saying that the the Democrats seem to be a home for them.
- 7:03SPEAKER_02: You're saying that some would would theorize that, yeah, that's their Trojan horse.
- 7:08SPEAKER_02: Pretty scary idea, but nothing to be ignored.
- 7:11SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 7:12SPEAKER_03: Um I have a I saw a lot of stories over the weekend about data centers and AI.
- 7:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 7:18SPEAKER_03: Uh a new poll, and the Democrats are going to use this as a talking point for the midterms as well.
- 7:24SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 7:24SPEAKER_03: They the do new poll shows that 75% of Americans now oppose building more data centers.
- 7:31SPEAKER_02: And I think that's a majority of uh of all parties.
- 7:34unknown: Yeah.
- 7:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 7:35SPEAKER_03: I think yeah, I think there's a fear of the unknown.
- 7:38SPEAKER_03: Like, what is AI?
- 7:40SPEAKER_03: Now, also a bunch of stories this weekend that AI is gonna rise up and kill us all.
- 7:45SPEAKER_03: How?
- 7:45SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 7:46SPEAKER_03: How?
- 7:47SPEAKER_02: Well, you know what's interesting about AI to me is I think all of us use it now.
- 7:53SPEAKER_02: Almost everybody uses it in some fashion, or as long as you're not you don't have your head in the sand.
- 7:59SPEAKER_02: However, we keep hearing these uh extreme stories, these scary scenarios from the people most involved with it, right?
- 8:11SPEAKER_02: So then you gotta ask, is there something in it for them to try to get their competitors to stand down?
- 8:16SPEAKER_02: Maybe they're afraid they're not advancing enough.
- 8:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 8:19SPEAKER_02: Um what's in it for them?
- 8:21SPEAKER_02: Why would they say that?
- 8:22SPEAKER_02: Why would they try to scare us unless they truly believe it's a danger?
- 8:27SPEAKER_02: And if it's truly a danger, why aren't you controlling it?
- 8:30SPEAKER_02: Or why don't you educate us on what needs to be done?
- 8:33SPEAKER_02: Um, just telling us we're all gonna die.
- 8:36SPEAKER_02: I mean, that's not good enough.
- 8:39SPEAKER_03: No.
- 8:39SPEAKER_03: No, it's not.
- 8:40SPEAKER_03: And there, you know, there's also these anecdotal stories about hit how like one AI program was secretly talking to another AI program on like 10 different sites around the world to avoid and escape the supervision of its human handler.
- 9:00SPEAKER_02: And to break break laws, yeah.
- 9:03SPEAKER_02: And um these are the kinds of things that need to be addressed.
- 9:07SPEAKER_02: Now, yeah, the interesting thing, is it a big deal for the midterms?
- 9:12SPEAKER_02: The Republicans are in a funny position because they understand that most people are opposing they're opposing data centers.
- 9:19SPEAKER_02: So I guess we need to make the link.
- 9:22SPEAKER_02: Well, how are the two together?
- 9:23SPEAKER_02: Well, AI uses a lot of data processing, a lot crunching a lot of numbers.
- 9:29SPEAKER_02: And so the data centers provide that.
- 9:32SPEAKER_02: And so we can talk about data centers separately, but what's interesting about AI is this puts Republicans in a funny position because they have a president, the head of the party, who will come after them, and we've seen that, who's okay with it, who makes the argument well, you're either with us or you're with China, because one of us is going to develop us, and if we don't win that, we lose.
- 9:55SPEAKER_02: And it's like, well, you don't want to say, Oh, I'm on China's side.
- 9:59SPEAKER_02: And so he puts you in an unwinnable situation.
- 10:02SPEAKER_02: However, I would make this argument that if it's a threat to humanity, it's a threat to China too.
- 10:08SPEAKER_02: So we need to be talking about things to deal with it, not for our countries, but for all of us as humans.
- 10:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 10:18SPEAKER_02: Um, and then I also wonder, Jerry, uh, Trump was against crypto in the first term.
- 10:25SPEAKER_02: Then he became pro-crypto and he's made his son's made billions of dollars.
- 10:29SPEAKER_02: What's he seeing AI that says he's going to make a lot of money?
- 10:32SPEAKER_02: Because I I'm sorry, I just don't see anything other than uh Well, here's another headline.
- 10:39SPEAKER_03: The data center boom accelerates, and the three top AI stocks have zoomed up 300% in growth.
- 10:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, it's kind of like the dot-coms, except they're actually making money, right?
- 10:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 10:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but like in the world.
- 10:56SPEAKER_02: There's so much money in it.
- 10:57SPEAKER_02: We put so much of our economy into it.
- 11:00SPEAKER_02: The fear is what happens when that goes away?
- 11:02SPEAKER_02: What if it's successful and everybody loses their job?
- 11:05SPEAKER_02: Or um what happens if all the money that's borrowed to be put into it, they're reaching, you know, most things have cycles, right?
- 11:16SPEAKER_02: Uh, you get the pioneers, the early adapters, and then you get the growth and you get general support, and then people are like, Well, we have enough of this, or we don't need more.
- 11:26SPEAKER_02: And then what happens if the demand for AI or demand for data centers for that much suddenly starts uh rolling over?
- 11:38SPEAKER_03: I'm not a dumb uh I'm not a dumb guy, but I just think that AI and even data centers are in this black box, and no one can adequately explain to me what the hell it is.
- 11:50SPEAKER_03: You know, it's concerning.
- 11:52SPEAKER_02: They don't do a good job of doing that.
- 11:54SPEAKER_02: I mean, I've been out, I've tried to request to go into a couple data centers and haven't gotten into them in Lamb County.
- 12:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 12:01SPEAKER_02: Been outside them.
- 12:02SPEAKER_02: I have seen pictures from inside, but um I will get in eventually.
- 12:08SPEAKER_02: But I I have this feeling.
- 12:11SPEAKER_02: Um people need to stop when you hear the argument that you're poor or or and backwards if you're not supported data centers.
- 12:20SPEAKER_02: Stop.
- 12:21SPEAKER_02: No.
- 12:22SPEAKER_02: Loudoun County is the richest county in the country by medium family income, and it has had data center centers, I think, since 2007.
- 12:30SPEAKER_02: It makes over a billion dollars a year in tax revenue from them.
- 12:33SPEAKER_02: And they are saying, hold on.
- 12:36SPEAKER_02: And one of the reasons they're apocalyptic, they you got all these big boxes.
- 12:40SPEAKER_02: I mean, I was out there yesterday, I drove drove out there, and there's like a section of the county that looks like another world because there are all these data centers.
- 12:49SPEAKER_02: They provide jobs when they're built, after that, not as many.
- 12:54SPEAKER_02: Drive through these neighborhoods, it's kind of interesting because there are no restaurants, there are no gas stations, there there are no workout, you know, there's no gyms.
- 13:06SPEAKER_02: They're in another section of town, I'll give you that.
- 13:09SPEAKER_02: But you drive through these and it's like you're on another planet, you know.
- 13:13SPEAKER_02: Maybe they should be off planet.
- 13:15SPEAKER_02: But um people are starting to say our electricity rates are going up and we shouldn't have to pay for that.
- 13:22SPEAKER_02: And that's one of the issues.
- 13:23SPEAKER_02: I think even Trump has addressed that.
- 13:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he did.
- 13:26SPEAKER_03: He's making them build their own power plants.
- 13:28SPEAKER_02: Theoretically, but I haven't seen anything in legislation.
- 13:31SPEAKER_02: So here's what's gonna happen, I think, Jerry, in the the midterms.
- 13:36SPEAKER_02: It's going to be a big issue, but it's gonna depend on your district.
- 13:40SPEAKER_02: So I they're not gonna pass anything, or if they do, it won't be meaningful.
- 13:44SPEAKER_02: And so they won't pass legislation, but everybody in their community will be on board with however those people are seeing it.
- 13:50SPEAKER_02: And it's gonna be a challenge for a lot of Republicans because Trump seems to be pro-data centers, pro-AI, and a public isn't either.
- 13:59SPEAKER_03: Well, the the this headline over the weekend, Trump, uh, this was on Air Force One coming back from Ireland over the weekend.
- 14:06SPEAKER_03: Trump brushes off AI doom predictions as quote, things that won't happen.
- 14:12SPEAKER_02: Well, if they do, we're all dead and it won't matter.
- 14:14SPEAKER_02: I mean, I would agree with him to the extent that we have a pretty good track record of stopping things before the worst case scenario because we were all going to destroy ourselves with a nuclear bomb.
- 14:25SPEAKER_02: So far, we haven't.
- 14:27SPEAKER_02: Um, doesn't mean it couldn't happen tomorrow or today.
- 14:31SPEAKER_02: Um, and so I hope that we'll be able to address this, but we need, here's what bothers me is we don't have leadership, Trump, saying, let's have some responsible conversations about this.
- 14:44SPEAKER_02: He he's just, I'm in it.
- 14:46SPEAKER_02: Either you're for us or you're for China.
- 14:48SPEAKER_02: No, let's let's have big boy pants conversations.
- 14:51SPEAKER_02: No, he doesn't want to have those.
- 14:53SPEAKER_02: Uh so you're either with him or you're not, and I have a feeling he wants to make some money off of it.
- 14:59SPEAKER_02: I I don't know how yet, but yeah.
- 15:03SPEAKER_03: He'll figure it out.
- 15:04SPEAKER_03: Um, that's all the stories I have today, Bob.
- 15:06SPEAKER_03: Do you have anything?
- 15:08SPEAKER_02: I do.
- 15:08SPEAKER_02: Um I'm concerned about the Kennedy Center.
- 15:12SPEAKER_02: Um the Kennedy Center, according to um Trump, is falling down.
- 15:17SPEAKER_02: Is this it?
- 15:18SPEAKER_02: Um yeah, they're gonna go bankrupt.
- 15:21SPEAKER_02: Jerry, get this.
- 15:24SPEAKER_02: It is going to go bankrupt unless Trump's name is put on the building.
- 15:31SPEAKER_03: Oh.
- 15:34SPEAKER_03: How does that how does that compute?
- 15:36SPEAKER_03: What does one have to do with the other?
- 15:38SPEAKER_02: There aren't many things that get more Trumpy than that.
- 15:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 15:42SPEAKER_02: What the suggestion is, is he won't care.
- 15:45SPEAKER_02: He won't raise money for it unless you put his name up.
- 15:49SPEAKER_02: You put his name on it, he'll come over and say, okay, everybody, as if he hadn't tried that already, by the way.
- 15:54SPEAKER_02: The Kennedy Center has been around since 1971.
- 15:59SPEAKER_02: The idea sprang in 1958.
- 16:02SPEAKER_02: I was here when it opened in 71.
- 16:05SPEAKER_02: And Kennedy himself raised money for it originally.
- 16:09SPEAKER_02: It wasn't a Kennedy Center at that point.
- 16:12SPEAKER_02: Um, and so almost every president puts in millions of dollars of development and renovation uh of the different uh concert venues inside and some outside.
- 16:24SPEAKER_02: I could make a list.
- 16:25SPEAKER_02: In fact, I did see a list.
- 16:27SPEAKER_02: There are billions that go in and have for years, almost every year.
- 16:30SPEAKER_02: And Trump is making it like nobody's ever looked at this, and it's really run down, it's a horrible facility.
- 16:37SPEAKER_02: And we but oh, well, if you put my name on it, then it's fine.
- 16:42SPEAKER_02: I mean, come on, you can't have it both ways.
- 16:44SPEAKER_02: Uh let me show you a little bit of um, let's see.
- 16:48SPEAKER_02: This is when you go in the Kennedy Center.
- 16:51SPEAKER_02: This is uh from inside.
- 16:53SPEAKER_02: I've I've been there.
- 16:55SPEAKER_02: Um it's beautiful.
- 16:57SPEAKER_02: This is when my wife and I went to see Hamilton there.
- 17:00SPEAKER_02: That's uh the John Kennedy to the left.
- 17:03SPEAKER_02: Um that that's him.
- 17:06SPEAKER_02: Let's see what else we have.
- 17:07SPEAKER_02: Um, they have a really cool chandelier.
- 17:10SPEAKER_02: Oh there's uh shot.
- 17:14SPEAKER_02: Okay, let me show you a little video to give you a pan of this.
- 17:18SPEAKER_02: It's 10 seconds.
- 17:29SPEAKER_03: Wow.
- 17:31SPEAKER_02: So it's a beautiful place, and the idea that you want to kill it just seems ridiculous.
- 17:40SPEAKER_02: Um and that there doesn't get much more trumpy than to say, oh, I'm gonna let it go under unless you put my name on it.
- 17:48SPEAKER_02: Um, this was supposed to be a national center for the arts, uh, a cultural institution, which is how it was developed in 1958.
- 17:58SPEAKER_02: And they decided to put Kennedy's name on it after he was killed.
- 18:02SPEAKER_02: And he had raised a lot of money for it.
- 18:04SPEAKER_02: So do donors matter?
- 18:05SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 18:06SPEAKER_02: But it's funny how when when Trump got involved, the donors dried up, the artists pulled out, and suddenly nobody's going.
- 18:13unknown: Yeah.
- 18:14SPEAKER_02: You also should have known your audience.
- 18:16SPEAKER_02: I got news for you.
- 18:17SPEAKER_02: People around Washington, DC are not quite as Trumpy as they are other places.
- 18:21SPEAKER_02: So the idea that you're gonna get regular um attendees to not respond when you insult them, insult the programming, and say you're bringing great premise, and then nobody wants to play there, and nobody's going there.
- 18:39SPEAKER_03: Uh also, this just then, yeah, uh, the Barack Hussein Obama Presidential Center, you know, his library, yeah, recently opened this summer, and it held its very first wedding over the weekend.
- 18:55SPEAKER_03: The first wedding ever held at the Obama Center, and it was a Muslim wedding.
- 19:00SPEAKER_02: Interesting.
- 19:02SPEAKER_02: Interesting.
- 19:03SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, and that's in Chicago, right?
- 19:05SPEAKER_02: Or in Illinois somewhere.
- 19:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 19:07SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 19:08SPEAKER_02: Um, I yeah, it takes us back full circle that I think the Democrats don't understand.
- 19:14SPEAKER_02: Um again, they need to address it's kind of like uh the the men playing sports with women.
- 19:24SPEAKER_02: It's not that most Democrats support that, but that's what the Republicans are gonna run against.
- 19:30SPEAKER_02: So if you don't deal with it, you're going to lose elections.
- 19:33SPEAKER_02: Now, this go around Trump may be so unpopular that assuming it's a fair election, he you know, the midterms may change uh what's in Congress.
- 19:43SPEAKER_02: But if Democrats don't deal with that so-called Muslim issue, I'll call it, um they they really are not resonating with a lot of Americans.
- 19:52SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, no, they're most in the boat.
- 19:55SPEAKER_03: They're they're kind of grasping for topics that they think they can run on, like, you know, the data centers and AI.
- 20:01SPEAKER_03: People don't give a shit about that kind of stuff, you know.
- 20:04SPEAKER_03: They want to talk about prices, the economy, jobs, you know?
- 20:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely is the economy stupid?
- 20:12SPEAKER_02: I mean, I I think that's absolutely true.
- 20:13SPEAKER_02: I I think um I think Democrats are running against Trump and running against the economy.
- 20:19SPEAKER_02: And if they do well, that's why they'll win.
- 20:21SPEAKER_02: It'll be on nothing else, really.
- 20:23SPEAKER_02: And the idea look, I've always argued uh if you're going to be um uh extreme left, who else are you gonna vote for?
- 20:33SPEAKER_02: Now the question is who turns out the vote?
- 20:35SPEAKER_02: And that's why um conservatives try to get you all crazy to get you to go vote.
- 20:41SPEAKER_02: Not because they're trying to change people's minds in the middle, but they know they got a certain conservative following and they try to turn them out.
- 20:48SPEAKER_02: Same on the left.
- 20:49SPEAKER_02: They try to turn them out.
- 20:50SPEAKER_02: Well, Trump's gonna do this or the conservatives are gonna do that if you don't come out and vote.
- 20:55SPEAKER_02: So as we get closer to the election, we're gonna see more of that effort to turn out the the their vote.
- 21:03SPEAKER_02: Okay, the final thing I wanted to talk about, Jerry, is 60 Minutes last night.
- 21:09SPEAKER_02: It's the first one um that kind of is the new season under Barry Weiss, who's the conservative person that came in and changed it and got rid of a lot of people who are not happy with the direction of 60 Minutes.
- 21:22SPEAKER_02: And I wanted to show you the what's called the last minute.
- 21:26SPEAKER_02: And I wanted to get your thoughts because I certainly had some.
- 21:29SPEAKER_00: I'm Ross Dowthit, one of the new faces you'll see on 60 Minutes.
- 21:34SPEAKER_00: We'll be chasing a lot of stories this season, but right now, no story looms larger than the latest developments in artificial intelligence.
- 21:43SPEAKER_00: An AI system solved a math problem in 88 hours that human beings had struggled with for almost a hundred years.
- 21:51SPEAKER_00: Other AI hacked into companies on their own.
- 21:54SPEAKER_00: And this past week, a researcher quit a major AI firm, warning that if artificial Artificial intelligence gets out of control, it could wipe out the human race.
- 22:04SPEAKER_00: You don't have to believe that prophecy, but you should believe this.
- 22:09SPEAKER_00: We may have a narrow window, this year, not the next 10, to make artificial intelligence safe for humanity.
- 22:17SPEAKER_00: That clock is ticking, and so is ours.
- 22:20SPEAKER_00: For almost 60 years, it has meant the same thing.
- 22:23SPEAKER_00: Journalism you can trust.
- 22:25SPEAKER_00: Where we're headed, we're going to need it.
- 22:28SPEAKER_00: We'll see you next Sunday with another edition of 60 Minutes.
- 22:34SPEAKER_03: Well, that guy's got a face for radio.
- 22:37SPEAKER_02: Well, I will say this.
- 22:38SPEAKER_02: That is, in my opinion, I've watched 60 Minutes for years.
- 22:41SPEAKER_02: It's been on almost my whole life, right?
- 22:43SPEAKER_02: So I've seen not every episode by any means, but I've seen it over decades.
- 22:49SPEAKER_02: That may be the worst commentary I've ever seen.
- 22:51SPEAKER_02: Because it said nothing.
- 22:54SPEAKER_03: It was all it said nothing, yeah.
- 22:56SPEAKER_02: It said nothing.
- 22:58SPEAKER_02: The only thing it said was, we may only have a year, not ten years.
- 23:02SPEAKER_02: It's like give me a break.
- 23:04SPEAKER_02: Now I understand a minute is limiting.
- 23:06SPEAKER_02: You and I know that.
- 23:07SPEAKER_02: We TV, a minute in TV, you can do a certain amount of work, and then you have to get to the point.
- 23:13SPEAKER_02: He said nothing and then had that uh uh tie into the clock is ticking just like it has here with great.
- 23:22SPEAKER_02: We didn't need that little part, Barry Weiss, where you threw in how great the journalism has been and always will be.
- 23:29SPEAKER_02: No, even that right there was bad journalism.
- 23:32SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry, but that was the worst commentation, the commentator, uh or at least the worst last minute I've ever seen, because there was nothing to it.
- 23:41SPEAKER_03: What happened to the good old days with point counterpoint where Jane, you ignorant slut or Andy Rooney?
- 23:49SPEAKER_02: I don't know why.
- 23:50SPEAKER_02: I like blue, I know it's a good collar.
- 23:53SPEAKER_03: I mean my loafer's pinch in the ring.
- 23:56SPEAKER_02: Why do they sell those?
- 23:58SPEAKER_02: Um so but but that actually, when you think about it, that was the homey, homespun kind of thing that a lot of people related to.
- 24:08SPEAKER_02: And then what you described was a takeoff on SNL, where they used to have baits.
- 24:14SPEAKER_02: This said nothing.
- 24:15SPEAKER_02: That was my problem with it.
- 24:16SPEAKER_02: It said nothing.
- 24:17SPEAKER_02: Even if he were to say, we need to address the issues associated with AI that's out of control.
- 24:23SPEAKER_02: Because the first thing he said, it solved the problem in 88 minutes that man has been wrestling with a hundred years.
- 24:30SPEAKER_02: Well, maybe that's a good thing.
- 24:31SPEAKER_02: You know, at one point we figured out how to fly.
- 24:34SPEAKER_02: I think that was good.
- 24:36SPEAKER_02: So I don't necessarily think that's bad.
- 24:39SPEAKER_02: He said nothing, it was a vapid commentary, and I can't believe that that's what they think.
- 24:45SPEAKER_02: This is their premier show under Barry Wise, and that's what they think is really good.
- 24:49SPEAKER_03: Well, I'm still stuck on the fact he's like the least photogenic person I've ever seen on 60 Minutes.
- 24:55SPEAKER_02: Well, I don't I don't like to pick on how people look.
- 24:59SPEAKER_02: I'm just uh I I don't see people's appearance, Jerry.
- 25:02SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 25:03SPEAKER_03: You don't you don't like to ugly shame.
- 25:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't want to ugly shame, fat shame, or any of that.
- 25:10SPEAKER_02: But um I I will say this you would expect more thoughtful commentary, right?
- 25:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 25:18SPEAKER_03: No, I agree.
- 25:19SPEAKER_03: We ex do better 60 minutes.
- 25:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 25:23SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 25:23SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 25:24SPEAKER_03: Well, that that was the show.
- 25:26SPEAKER_03: And remember, breaking news changes everything.
- 25:28SPEAKER_03: All right.
