  Speaker 1: the podcast. If you're a podcast listener, you get an
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: extra show, one extra show every weekend. So this AI
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: battle going on all week, Democrats trying to gin up
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: this big AI fear, get everybody afraid of it, use
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: it as an election issue. The White House said they
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: might impose limited safeguards on AI. There's no mass extinction,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: all of that stuff. Actually, he One of the things
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the White House wants to do is put some things
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: on the data centers. You know, they'll have to supply
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: their own electricity. They'll have to not use a lot
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of water. They figured out how to recycle the water
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: in the data center, so that helps. Prince Charles jumping
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in on the— excuse me, King Charles. I keep forgetting. King
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Charles had the AI leaders there to warn of the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: existential danger— But they all showed up. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: all these guys showed up there. Actually, in Scotland, they
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: gathered in Scotland to have an AI meeting with King Charles.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell he knows about AI,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: but why not? The big UN General Assembly is this week.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Watch for these guys, the UN General Assembly, to try
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to take over the AI stuff. They're plotting this already.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: They want to be the leaders of the AI safeguards
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and guardrails. Now, everybody wants in on this because the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: AI companies have trillions, not billions, trillions of dollars, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: they love to throw money around. They love to buy
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: politicians or whatever they need to buy. So everybody wants in,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the Democrats and the UN. The UN will be all
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: over this looking to be the AI regulator. and have
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: control of it. California, you know, they're always talking about
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that high-speed railroad. Ooh, they're going to make a high speed.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You'll be able to get from LA to San Francisco
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in two seconds. However, you're going to have to wait
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: 500 years for this to ever get built. They never, ever, ever, ever.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: This is Gavin Newsom and all these Democrats. They gave
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: them like zillions of billions of trillions of quadrillions of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: dollars for this high-speed railroad. It's 15 years later. Not
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: one inch of anything has gotten built. But some people
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: looking at this, the high-speed rail consultants have gotten millions,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: literally millions of dollars for trips, trips to a tiki bar,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a gym. It's paying four consulting firms millions of dollars
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: in expenses, even though nothing has gotten done. It's been years.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Not a single thing has been built. Nothing anywhere. So, hey,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you know about those daycare fraud centers? They keep getting them.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: One after the other. Speaking of California, they just busted
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a daycare fraud ring. It was a $ 10 million scheme.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It was people from Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq, Somalia. They've
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: all been arrested. 250 law enforcement, federal, state, local, descended
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: on them Thursday. Arrested 12 defendants. They had search warrants
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: for everything. They were all in San Diego. A completely
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: bogus daycare facility. Attorney General Todd Blanche, congratulations. Defendants raged
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: in age from 20 to 60. Wire fraud charges. Maximum penalty,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: 20 years in prison. $ 500, 000 fines. Some also face money
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: laundering charges. So good. One by one, they're arresting them all.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: One by one. Amazon trying to expand now the drone
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: delivery service. Does anybody want this? I know, it sounds dangerous.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: A drone coming at your house? You really want a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: drone right near your house or landing on your lawn?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but sometimes you see that Amazon guy
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: or gal, the Amazon people, pulling that wagon filled with boxes.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: They're falling all over the place. It looks just as
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: dangerous sometimes. But they want to try it in 500 U.S. cities. Now,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the reason for the drone will be to get Packages immediately. Now,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: when you order an Amazon package, you live in the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: big city, it always comes the next day. Next day,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: there's your package. They want 30-minute delivery for some things.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I would imagine this would be for medicine or something
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you need right away. Something you need right away. So
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it would be 30-minute delivery. The drone can carry packages
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: up to five pounds. Okay, that's not a lot. That's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: not a lot. Seems like a lot of cost flying
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that drone around. or one little package. The goal is
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: not about cutting costs or replacing drivers, but keeping customers happy.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: 30-minute delivery. It comes the next day. If you live
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in a big city, if you live in the suburbs
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: or way out there, sometimes it can be two days.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: But really, is there anything you really have to have
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: in 30 minutes? And I don't know if you know this,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: but you're allowed out of your house. You could actually
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: go to the drugstore and get it. you could actually
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: go to the supermarket and get it. You could actually,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you're allowed to go buy something in real life if
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you want. And we're always talking about these Gen Z, uh, idiots, uh,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: everything that Gen Z does. I just, uh, here's another one.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Apparently they don't believe in car insurance. About 30% of
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Gen Z, uh, admits to owning or driving vehicles with
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: no car insurance. So, uh, Don't get in an accident
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: with any Gen Z person. They don't have car insurance.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Stay the hell away from them. Now, Queen Elizabeth, which
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: was quite the real regal figure. I mean, that's real royalty,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth. President Trump revealing that that's, you know, they
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: asked him, who do you really admire? Like, who was
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: your favorite? Queen Elizabeth, you know, talked about Reagan, but
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: he said, we really admired Queen Elizabeth. And she said
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the same thing when Queen Elizabeth was asked, who's your
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: favorite president? She mentioned Trump as one of her favorite presidents.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: But he said he loved all the royals, but she
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: said Queen Elizabeth was great. They really hit it off.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't picture that. But when they met a couple
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of times, they really, really hit it off. Became very
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: good friends, actually. Same thing happened with Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: But it's interesting the relationship these two had. Speaking of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that royal family, this Harry and Meghan screwing up everything
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and everybody over there. Prince William, Prince Harry's brother, saying
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: he's washed his hands of estranged brother Harry after the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: latest distraction. You remember this Harry and Meghan had this
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: story that made news about they had to take their
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: kids out of school because it was too far. And
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: their security, their caravan of SUVs, Their security found it
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: too dangerous to go that far, to travel that far
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: through that many roads, that many cities. I think the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: idea of this story planted by Harry and Meghan was
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to try to impress you with the fact that there
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: was a caravan, that their security was an entire caravan
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: of SUVs. Now, for two broke, out-of-work idiots, although they
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: made some money on Netflix and all that, but two
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: out-of-work idiots with a caravan of SUVs, And who sends
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: their kid to a school that far away? So Prince
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Harry saying he's washed his hands of these two idiots.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: He said, a school change being played out across the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: front pages. This is precisely the kind of rolling Sussex
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: narrative the royal family has spent years trying to avoid. Yeah,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: he said, I've just washed my hands of them. See,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that's how you talk if you're a royal family member.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Here in America, we'd say, Blank them. Blank them. You
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: just say, I've washed my hands of them. Try it
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: next time you're mad at somebody. When somebody asks you
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: about something, don't say, I've washed my hands of them.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Sounds great. Makes you sound much smarter. San Francisco, you know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: just went all to hell, run by Democrats, shoplifting, everything
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: out of control, businesses leaving, the streets filled with needles
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and feces, homeless camp. The whole thing, they're trying to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: actually clean it up now. They got new leadership there.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: First thing you're cracking down on is car thieves. Every
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: car was broken into. They're cracking down on that. They
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: got car break-ins down 85%. 85%. You see, it's not
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: really that complicated as Rudy Giuliani showed. If you just
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: go to war with the criminals, if you just lock
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: them all up and grab them and send those cops
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: out there, they know how to do it. They'll get
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: all these criminals off the street. It's the same 2,000
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: people over and over again. committing the crime. Giuliani did
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: it in New York. It works. So they're doing it
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in San Francisco. They also cleared out homeless encampments and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: getting rid of all the drug addicts and all that.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: They may actually clean up this city. It's amazing how
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: quickly you can turn it around if you really try.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Speaking of that Gen Z, they're now very big on
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: becoming tradespeople. You know, it used to be you had
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to go to college, you had to get a degree,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you had to study liberal arts or something. And now
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: they're realizing the trade school may be the answer. Yeah,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the trade school. 37% said they prefer learning an actual trade.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: You know, we have a sponsor, Lincoln Tech. It's a
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: great sponsor. school. And this is what they do. They'll
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: teach you a trade. You can become an electrician, a plumber, HVAC,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: all kinds of trades. You go right to work. As
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: soon as you get out, you got a job. And
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: then you can make 100,000 real quick, 100,000-year salary. As
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: opposed to getting a liberal arts degree and living in
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: your parents' basement for the next 20 years and never,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: never doing much of anything. But even a lot of
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Gen Z starting to realize you can make a lot
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: of money doing that and you can do very well.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And skilled workers go right to work. And if you're
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: in the trades, there's always another job. You can always,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: always work. And you know what? In some ways, it's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: more fun. Who wants to sit in a cubicle in
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: an office? Who wants to sit in an office when
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you could be, you know, you're a plumber, you're an electrician.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: You're out there. You're meeting new people all the time.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: And it really is a lot more fun for a
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: lot of people. So, hey, remember those mold people? The
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: sewer would open up and people would come out of
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the sewer or the sewer would open up and people
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: would climb down in there. You hear about this all
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the time, these mold people. And it's the Mamdani administration.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: They don't do much about it. And what are they
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: doing down there? Well, they're criminals. And they go through
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the sewers and they find stuff in there. They find
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: jewelry in there. They find stuff that somehow fell down
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the sewer. I mean, you're picking it up out of
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the most disgusting place you could pick it up. And
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: this is in the criminal world. This has got to
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: be the lowest job in the criminal world, but there's
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: organized gangs. They see, always see three or four of
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: these guys go down into the sewers and they walk
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: around down there for an hour or two, picking up stuff.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: They come up with the stuff in bags and they,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: You see them come out wearing like those miners hats
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: with the light on them and gloves and big bags
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: filled with stuff. I mean, it's really a disgusting, the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: most disgusting job anybody could have. But some people now
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: saying the authority's got to do something about it because,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: because it was like tourists. Here's a tourist from Arizona.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Saw these people going down into the sewer. Shady looking
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: characters going down into the sewer. then coming up, he
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: said he called the police. He thought it was like
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: some kind of 9-11 reconnaissance terrorists plotting something. It really
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: does look like that. So at some point, I know
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the Mamdani administration is not going to do much about anything.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: But at some point, you got to do something about this. Hey,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: if you are worried about living near a data center,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a data center is a big, enormous building with a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: bunch of computers in it. It's nothing dangerous. Although data
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: centers make a lot of noise. There's so many computers.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: that the whole thing heats up. And to cool it,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: they got to use these big turbines that are noisy.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: But here's an expert that actually wrote about this. It's
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: not dangerous. We actually have, believe it or not, we
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: have 19 data centers in New York City. He said
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the worst thing you can live next to is a
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: dry cleaners because the chemicals they use can cause diseases.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: They're in the air. I can't even pronounce all these
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: chemical names, but they use them in dry cleaners. Now,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: If you're in the middle of Manhattan, there's a dry
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: cleaner in your building. In most cases, it's just a
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: place where they get the clothes. They're not doing the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: dry cleaning there. It's sent to a dry cleaning plant somewhere.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: So if you live anywhere near the dry cleaning plant, far,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: far more dangerous than a data center. Hey, this has
• 13:28
