Latest / Wicked Radio with Bill Adams / Wicked Radio 4-21: Save America Act Has A Thune Problem, Kash Sues Fake News, & Apple's Big Change
Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Well, it appears as though we've got a big problem
- 0:06Speaker 1: with the Save Act, but people are still fighting for it,
- 0:10Speaker 1: and that's the good news on that. But there's a
- 0:11Speaker 1: big problem. And the big problem is, as President Trump
- 0:14Speaker 1: has even said himself, the biggest problem in passing the
- 0:17Speaker 1: Save America Act is the guy who's in charge of
- 0:19Speaker 1: the Senate. What's the next move? I don't know, but
- 0:23Speaker 1: all this came from Anna Pauline a Luna, one of
- 0:24Speaker 1: the people. I gotta tell you, it's turned out to
- 0:26Speaker 1: be awesome in fighting for this thing, truly awesome. We'll
- 0:29Speaker 1: get into that as well. The most satisfying thing that
- 0:31Speaker 1: came out of yesterday's news was Cash Battel, as everybody
- 0:35Speaker 1: could see what's gonna happen. Has dropped a two hundred
- 0:37Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars hammer on the fake news. Remember
- 0:40Speaker 1: that big article that The Atlantic came out about him.
- 0:43Speaker 1: He's he's a drunk. His aides couldn't wake him up.
- 0:46Speaker 1: He parties too much. Yeah, he just may end that
- 0:51Speaker 1: last dying gasp of a fake news propaganda outlet. Because
- 0:55Speaker 1: this is a massive lawsuit. And what you know about
- 0:58Speaker 1: Cash Betel so far. Maybe you don't like the way
- 0:59Speaker 1: the FBI is going. Maybe you don't think there's enough
- 1:02Speaker 1: for rests being made. Do you think that's a guy
- 1:03Speaker 1: that's gonna give up on a personal attack on him?
- 1:06Speaker 1: I don't think so, not at all. And we got
- 1:09Speaker 1: one more sneaky, sneaky big story. I call it a
- 1:11Speaker 1: sneaky big story because there's a big change of the
- 1:13Speaker 1: head of Apple and you're thinking, I don't have any
- 1:16Speaker 1: Apple stock, Why does it matter to me? All right, fine,
- 1:18Speaker 1: that's fine, But I bet you have one of these
- 1:21Speaker 1: or somebody in your family does, because the tech experts
- 1:24Speaker 1: say about sixty percent of us have iPhones. But you
- 1:27Speaker 1: know what Apple's not doing recently? They are so far
- 1:30Speaker 1: behind on AI. We always hear about AI. It's taking
- 1:32Speaker 1: over the world. When's the last time you used Siri
- 1:35Speaker 1: for anything on your Apple phone? Probably not recently. This
- 1:40Speaker 1: is a sneaky big change that's happening there with a
- 1:42Speaker 1: new CEO coming in. Anyway, we'll get to all this stuff.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Extra hanging out with me as always. I appreciate you
- 1:46Speaker 1: as always. Wicked Radio livestream Moudey if you're Friday, aightm
- 1:50Speaker 1: Eastern time on x and YouTube and Facebook and the
- 1:53Speaker 1: replay and then the audio podcast. Let's get right to
- 1:55Speaker 1: it first and foremost. This is satisfying as hell, and
- 1:57Speaker 1: we could all see who was coming. Remember The Atlantic,
- 2:00Speaker 1: I think it was Friday, maybe Saturday Friday, published this
- 2:03Speaker 1: hit piece on cash pateld FBI director. He's a drunk,
- 2:06Speaker 1: Nobody likes him, his staff can't wake him up. He's
- 2:09Speaker 1: an effective, he's corrupt, he's a partier, he's incompetent. Everything
- 2:12Speaker 1: you could possibly name. Now ask yourself why they did that.
- 2:16Speaker 1: And we talked about this yesterday, because he appears to
- 2:18Speaker 1: be over the target. They never put out hit pieces
- 2:21Speaker 1: on anybody that's ineffective, because that's serving the purpose. Right,
- 2:25Speaker 1: The fake news loves those people. They used to love it. Well,
- 2:28Speaker 1: why are there so many hit pieces these days? Because
- 2:30Speaker 1: you have more people in government right now in this
- 2:32Speaker 1: administration that are over the target and busting up corruption
- 2:36Speaker 1: and illegal activity in the halls of Congress and people
- 2:42Speaker 1: who want to interfere in elections. That's why. So that
- 2:44Speaker 1: hit piece came out. But now he's dropped a fit
- 2:47Speaker 1: two D and fifty million dollar lawsuit. Will he ever
- 2:50Speaker 1: get that? No, But it's enough to put that disgusting
- 2:53Speaker 1: propaganda outlet out of business. This is him talking to
- 2:56Speaker 1: him to Maria Bartiromo in that interview over the weekend
- 2:59Speaker 1: about all the allegations and exactly what he's going to do.
- 3:02Speaker 1: We could all see it's coming. You know that this
- 3:04Speaker 1: guy was going to fight back.
- 3:05Speaker 2: In hegazine, the Atlantic magazine director is alleging that you
- 3:11Speaker 2: have a drinking problem, that it is getting in the
- 3:14Speaker 2: way of your work running the FBI. What is your
- 3:16Speaker 2: response this morning to this article.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Look, Maria, you and I have been at this together
- 3:20Speaker 3: for a long time, whether I was leading the investigation
- 3:22Speaker 3: on Russia Gate back in the House or my time
- 3:25Speaker 3: in the Trump admin one and now, and the results,
- 3:27Speaker 3: I say speak for themselves. If the fake news mafia
- 3:30Speaker 3: isn't hitting you personally with baseless information in Washington, DC,
- 3:34Speaker 3: then you're not doing your job. And it's louder than
- 3:36Speaker 3: ever because this FBI, under President Trump's brilliant leadership and
- 3:40Speaker 3: backing the blue and backing law enforcement, this FBI has
- 3:43Speaker 3: the most prolific year in crime reduction in the United
- 3:46Speaker 3: States history, a twenty point percent reduction in a homicide rate,
- 3:50Speaker 3: a twenty.
- 3:51Speaker 1: And then he went onto the resume of wins, which
- 3:53Speaker 1: is his right to do. And he's exactly right. And
- 3:55Speaker 1: you may be thinking, well, it's not enough. I want
- 3:57Speaker 1: to rest day one, you know the whole Pam bondid
- 4:00Speaker 1: that to herself. Let's face it, the Epstein files are
- 4:02Speaker 1: sitting on my desk right now, and then nothing happened.
- 4:05Speaker 1: That was just that's bad pr on her part. But
- 4:08Speaker 1: think about who is getting most targeted, who has the
- 4:11Speaker 1: most attacks against them through the fake news media right now?
- 4:16Speaker 1: Him Cash Battel and Kelsey Gabbert, director of National Intelligence.
- 4:21Speaker 1: What if they both most recently revealed that they're on
- 4:24Speaker 1: top of think about it, election interference in both twenty
- 4:31Speaker 1: sixteen and twenty twenty, all of a sudden, all the
- 4:34Speaker 1: hit pieces are coming out against them. Isn't that something?
- 4:37Speaker 1: Isn't that something? I can't wait for this? I can't wait.
- 4:39Speaker 4: Oh.
- 4:39Speaker 1: In The Atlantic's response yesterday, we stand by our reporting.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Oh but do they because automatically what they did was
- 4:45Speaker 1: the article about cash Battel and dropping that hammer on
- 4:48Speaker 1: him where they try to disparage him with all kinds
- 4:51Speaker 1: of unnamed sources and allegations on all this other crap.
- 4:54Speaker 1: They changed the headline already. Oh, that's another thing with
- 4:58Speaker 1: online media. You can easily edit things, can't you standing
- 5:02Speaker 1: by that's real, standing by your reporting as you've already
- 5:04Speaker 1: changed the headline. So I can't wait for this. I
- 5:06Speaker 1: think it's great. You know why I think it's great.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Here's another reason why we never used to see this true.
- 5:11Speaker 1: We never used to see these kinds of fake news attacks.
- 5:14Speaker 1: It's always been fake news. Obviously, it's always been run
- 5:16Speaker 1: by you know, propagandists on you know which side, But
- 5:20Speaker 1: it's never been so bad. But also again, I always
- 5:23Speaker 1: try to get all of us to look at the
- 5:25Speaker 1: positive in this, look for the wins, because there's a
- 5:27Speaker 1: lot of wins. The fight back is the win. You
- 5:30Speaker 1: never used to have people fighting back like cash bettel Is.
- 5:33Speaker 1: This was a rarity until hate to say it, and
- 5:35Speaker 1: maybe you don't want to hear it, until Trump came
- 5:37Speaker 1: along and he started suing fake news outlets like the
- 5:39Speaker 1: BBC and one to the tune of close to one
- 5:42Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. There's no basis whatsoever, and what the
- 5:47Speaker 1: Atlantic published, what leg do they have to stand on.
- 5:50Speaker 1: We're standing by your reporting, even though we changed the
- 5:52Speaker 1: headline already. They're going to get destroyed, and then some
- 5:55Speaker 1: other fake news out it will pop up, and then
- 5:57Speaker 1: another one and another one, and you'll fight back and
- 5:59Speaker 1: they'll go away and until they're beaten down into irrelevance.
- 6:03Speaker 1: And that's what's happening. So good for him for fighting back. Yes,
- 6:06Speaker 1: it's disgusting that this kind of fake news still exists,
- 6:08Speaker 1: but again you got to look for the good news.
- 6:11Speaker 1: The fight back is happening, and that's great. I can't
- 6:13Speaker 1: wait for discovery what they find with this whole thing.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I can't wait. All right, this was the disturbing thing
- 6:17Speaker 1: that came out yesterday, but again, at least people are
- 6:20Speaker 1: aware of it. I don't know what the next move
- 6:21Speaker 1: is going to be from President Trump, but he's well aware,
- 6:24Speaker 1: and in fact, he's said it publicly that his biggest
- 6:26Speaker 1: enemy in getting the Save America Act passed securing our
- 6:30Speaker 1: elections voter I d you know, no more days after
- 6:34Speaker 1: election day mail in ballots, coming in, all of that
- 6:37Speaker 1: crap to secure our elections. The biggest threat to that
- 6:41Speaker 1: is the guy that's leading the Senate right now, John Thune.
- 6:43Speaker 1: We've known it, he's known it, everybody's known it, but
- 6:46Speaker 1: pretty much not completely totally confirmed until yesterday. It was
- 6:49Speaker 1: disturbing when a post came out on x from Representative
- 6:53Speaker 1: Anna Paulina Luna who said, to just so America knows,
- 6:57Speaker 1: after two weeks in recess, John Thune is no longer
- 7:00Speaker 1: considering the Save America Act. What uh, I'm sorry? Huh.
- 7:06Speaker 1: So that's got everybody all upset. But sometimes this has
- 7:09Speaker 1: to come out, and you've got to understand exactly who
- 7:12Speaker 1: the players are and exactly who the bad players are,
- 7:16Speaker 1: like Thune, to realize what's happening. We said it yesterday
- 7:18Speaker 1: as they played that clip for you from Tim Burchett
- 7:21Speaker 1: from Tennessee Congress. From Tim Burchett that his biggest obstacles
- 7:26Speaker 1: in this aren't the Democrats. Are America's biggest obstacles, Believe
- 7:30Speaker 1: it or not in passing the Save America Act. Aren't
- 7:32Speaker 1: the Democrats. You know exactly what they're going to do,
- 7:34Speaker 1: you know exactly where they're coming from. That you can't
- 7:36Speaker 1: count on their vote to secure elections because that's how
- 7:39Speaker 1: they win elections. The biggest threat are these useless, absolutely
- 7:44Speaker 1: obstructionist rhinos in the Senate and some in the House too.
- 7:48Speaker 1: But the House already passed it twice. Why we said
- 7:51Speaker 1: it yesterday. Because they benefit from the status quo. They
- 7:55Speaker 1: want to go back to the way things were, where
- 7:56Speaker 1: they would constantly lose and they would get they would
- 7:59Speaker 1: just you know, they would just acquiesce for the Democrats
- 8:04Speaker 1: and they would give them everything they wanted because then
- 8:05Speaker 1: they would go back to their home districts and say, oh,
- 8:08Speaker 1: you know, we got to stop these Democrats, We got
- 8:10Speaker 1: to stop the opposition. You have to put me back
- 8:12Speaker 1: in office. And then they do it again, and then
- 8:14Speaker 1: they more years in Congress and they go back to
- 8:16Speaker 1: their home district again and they say, oh, they're doing
- 8:19Speaker 1: it to us again. You got to put me back
- 8:20Speaker 1: in office. And this endless cycle of crap that happens,
- 8:23Speaker 1: and that's how we get a swamp where nothing absolutely happens.
- 8:27Speaker 1: That's why they want the status quo. They make more
- 8:31Speaker 1: useless politicians, make more money and gain more power by losing.
- 8:36Speaker 1: I know that makes no sense, but that's exactly what's
- 8:39Speaker 1: happening here. And that's why we have a swamp. Not
- 8:41Speaker 1: a swamp, we have a cesspool. That's what's going on. Well,
- 8:44Speaker 1: there's good people in the Senate who are trying to
- 8:46Speaker 1: get this thing done, like Mike Lee. He was all
- 8:48Speaker 1: twisted off about it. He's the Senator from Utah who's
- 8:50Speaker 1: been pushing this along with many others. He's upset about it.
- 8:53Speaker 1: As you can imagine.
- 8:54Speaker 5: The American people want the Save American Act. The swamp
- 8:58Speaker 5: wants five as seven oh two reoffer without any meaningful reforms.
- 9:02Speaker 5: The Senate is doing it exactly backwards. We've got to
- 9:05Speaker 5: get back on the Save America Act. We've got to
- 9:07Speaker 5: get it passed, and one's going to take precedence over
- 9:10Speaker 5: the other. It's sure as heck shouldn't be the one
- 9:13Speaker 5: that Americans hate and the DC swamp wants. Let's get
- 9:17Speaker 5: back to work on the Save America Act. That's what
- 9:20Speaker 5: the American people want.
- 9:21Speaker 1: That's the maddest I've seen him. I guess you know
- 9:23Speaker 1: they can imagine what he's saying behind closed doors, as
- 9:25Speaker 1: he should be, and that's good news. But back to
- 9:27Speaker 1: Anna Paulina Luna for a second. She just did very
- 9:29Speaker 1: recently talking about this with Catherine Herriage Great now former
- 9:33Speaker 1: of formerly of CBS, but now an independent reporter. She
- 9:36Speaker 1: sat down with her and she talked about what they're
- 9:38Speaker 1: trying to do and to separate their voting on FISA
- 9:43Speaker 1: to separate the Save America Act from that, and then
- 9:45Speaker 1: the plan is from Thune and others. This is a
- 9:47Speaker 1: slow walk the Save America Act until it's too late
- 9:51Speaker 1: to be effective in the midterms. That's the thing. So
- 9:52Speaker 1: they can all come back and say we passed it,
- 9:54Speaker 1: we did this, we got this done. It'll be too
- 9:56Speaker 1: late for the midterms. It'll be absolutely useless. So, like
- 9:59Speaker 1: we just said, you can go back to the status quo,
- 10:02Speaker 1: keep losing elections, keep losing powers. You can go back
- 10:04Speaker 1: to your home district and ask for more money and
- 10:06Speaker 1: get back into office. That's the problem. This is exactly
- 10:09Speaker 1: what she just outlined. I gotta tell you, like I said,
- 10:11Speaker 1: she's been one of the true fighters.
- 10:12Speaker 6: In all the Let's take that a step further. I mean,
- 10:14Speaker 6: Republicans control the House and the Senate. Why can't they
- 10:17Speaker 6: get the Save America Act, which requires evidence that you're
- 10:22Speaker 6: an American and ID to vote.
- 10:24Speaker 4: Jonathan is a problem. I do not like what he's
- 10:28Speaker 4: done because he has every ability and really it's him
- 10:32Speaker 4: that's blocking voter ID. He has every ability to embrace
- 10:35Speaker 4: the standing filibuster or remove the filbuster. Democrats are going
- 10:38Speaker 4: to do it anyways, and by the way, the current
- 10:40Speaker 4: form of the filibuster is a perversion of what it
- 10:42Speaker 4: initially was. But there's this position in the Senate that
- 10:47Speaker 4: people are they need to protect the institution. I get
- 10:51Speaker 4: protecting the institution, but like, let's also talk about what
- 10:53Speaker 4: the institution's become.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Is John thu named Thune, you know by name. That's
- 10:58Speaker 1: another rarity that ever used to happen. He's the problem,
- 11:01Speaker 1: that's her quote, He's the problem blocking this thing. She
- 11:05Speaker 1: hinted it exactly what the plan is to slow walk
- 11:07Speaker 1: that so that they can claim victory but actually do nothing,
- 11:09Speaker 1: so go back to the status quo. That's the problem.
- 11:12Speaker 1: She also hinted there that President Trump knows exactly what
- 11:14Speaker 1: the game is. So here's our question, what's President Trump's
- 11:17Speaker 1: next move? What are you gonna do? You know what's happening.
- 11:20Speaker 1: You know what's going on. He has said publicly so
- 11:24Speaker 1: many times and for so many months, nuke the filibuster,
- 11:27Speaker 1: get this thing done to secure our elections so you
- 11:30Speaker 1: can win the midterms or Democrats are going to take
- 11:33Speaker 1: power again. But here's the problem again, and it always
- 11:35Speaker 1: goes back to this, You've got these useless handful of
- 11:38Speaker 1: rhino senators some in the House too, that want that
- 11:42Speaker 1: to happen. It's hard to believe, but it's true. They
- 11:46Speaker 1: want to lose so they can stay in power, not
- 11:50Speaker 1: control of the House or Senate, but they're in their
- 11:53Speaker 1: own personal power to get re elected to office again.
- 11:55Speaker 1: And I'll say it again because this is the key
- 11:57Speaker 1: to the whole thing, so that you can go back
- 11:58Speaker 1: to your home district fundraise and you say, oh, help
- 12:02Speaker 1: me stop these democrats. They're in power again, help me
- 12:04Speaker 1: reelect me. They get reelected, they lose again, go back
- 12:08Speaker 1: to their home office, their home district, and they say, oh,
- 12:11Speaker 1: you got to put me in office again. That's the
- 12:13Speaker 1: whole freaking disgusting game. That's the problem. So I don't
- 12:19Speaker 1: know what the next thing is going to be. If
- 12:20Speaker 1: you want to look as disturbing as this is, Fune
- 12:22Speaker 1: and others slow walk in this to be completely ineffective
- 12:26Speaker 1: for the mid terms. At least more people than ever
- 12:29Speaker 1: are aware of what the game is. We know exactly
- 12:31Speaker 1: what the game is, We know exactly what they're doing,
- 12:33Speaker 1: and I would being well into bed, and we don't
- 12:35Speaker 1: know yet that Trump has something up his sleeve to
- 12:39Speaker 1: get this done. And maybe it's exactly what Telsey Gabbard
- 12:42Speaker 1: and Cash Bettel have been looking at. Maybe they announced
- 12:45Speaker 1: something massive about the recent election cycles that have been
- 12:47Speaker 1: happening in these Rhinos home districts. Maybe they do that, Hey,
- 12:51Speaker 1: your election was your elections were fraudulent too, What are
- 12:54Speaker 1: you gonna do about that? And then maybe that'll force them,
- 12:56Speaker 1: that'll browbeat them in this Passing to Save America Act.
- 12:58Speaker 1: I don't know. You have to figure there's something else coming.
- 13:02Speaker 1: You gotta hope, but at least we're all aware of
- 13:05Speaker 1: what this game is. Right now by Thune and others useless,
- 13:08Speaker 1: absolutely beyond useless. They're destructive because they're standing right in
- 13:13Speaker 1: the way of getting that the most simple, common sense
- 13:16Speaker 1: legislation to secure our elections and therefore our future done.
- 13:20Speaker 1: It's all right before them, But what also is right
- 13:22Speaker 1: before them is their game plan. They don't want it
- 13:25Speaker 1: to happen because they want the status quo. It's amazing time.
- 13:28Speaker 1: It's it's complicated by design, but once you break it
- 13:31Speaker 1: all down, it's easy to see what the game is
- 13:33Speaker 1: and they're rigging it. So let's let's hope this. Let's
- 13:35Speaker 1: hope there's another move coming. We shall see. What's the
- 13:38Speaker 1: recent poll. Eighty percent of the country. It's Democrats, Republicans, Independence,
- 13:42Speaker 1: Want to Save America Act passed and they can't do it. Yeah,
- 13:47Speaker 1: that's on the up and up. Sure it is all right.
- 13:50Speaker 1: I'm gonna call this a very uh quietly sneaky big story.
- 13:54Speaker 1: It was. It's because it comes from the business world,
- 13:57Speaker 1: right Tim Cook, Remember Trump called him at a press
- 14:01Speaker 1: conference during the first term. Tim Apple, Tim Cook, CEO,
- 14:05Speaker 1: He's been there a long time of Apple is stepping aside.
- 14:09Speaker 1: He's not stepping down. He's going to be an advisor.
- 14:11Speaker 1: He's on the board and whatever. They're shoeing him off
- 14:13Speaker 1: to the to the to the sidelines in favor of
- 14:18Speaker 1: a new guy that comes from engineering. Now. Tim Cook
- 14:20Speaker 1: is a numbers guy, he's a finance guy. Apparently reportedly
- 14:23Speaker 1: the guy that's going to be in charge of Apple
- 14:25Speaker 1: now is an engineering guy. That means a tech guy. Sneakily,
- 14:29Speaker 1: I think this is a big deal. And you're saying,
- 14:32Speaker 1: I don't have any Apple stock, What the hell do
- 14:34Speaker 1: I care? Okay, bet you got one of these or
- 14:37Speaker 1: or somebody in your family has one of these, So
- 14:40Speaker 1: you know somebody that has one of those. Anyways, the
- 14:42Speaker 1: tech people tell us they think the estimate is sixty
- 14:45Speaker 1: percent of the country has an iPhone. Next up in
- 14:49Speaker 1: line is an Android. Obviously, whoever is in charge of
- 14:53Speaker 1: Apple is really in charge of how much information? You see?
- 14:58Speaker 1: Why do I say that because almost all of us now,
- 15:02Speaker 1: sad or not, it's just a fact for the matter. Again,
- 15:05Speaker 1: most of our information, most of our entertainment, most of
- 15:08Speaker 1: our hinterpersonal communication, most of everything news too, from this thing.
- 15:15Speaker 1: So what's it mean? Wouldn't you assume then that the
- 15:17Speaker 1: guy in charge of Apple, it's a pretty big deal.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Let's go first to the news story about this thing
- 15:24Speaker 1: and exactly what it's all about. Here are some of
- 15:26Speaker 1: the details. This is a Silicon Valley news outlet. It's
- 15:29Speaker 1: just giving you some of the details.
- 15:30Speaker 7: The company says. CEO Tim Cook is stepping down and
- 15:33Speaker 7: moving into the role of chairman. Apple says John Turnus,
- 15:37Speaker 7: the senior vice president of hardware Engineering, will take over
- 15:40Speaker 7: as CEO. Cook, of course, has led Apple since twenty eleven,
- 15:44Speaker 7: when Steve Jobs steps aside shortly before his death.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Right now, Apple twenty Since twenty that's a long time,
- 15:51Speaker 1: really long time. He's been in charge I mean Tim
- 15:53Speaker 1: Cook has been around forever and that matters. Here's what
- 15:57Speaker 1: else has happened with Apple. Now we all hear about
- 15:59Speaker 1: AI these days. There's so much fear mongering about AI,
- 16:01Speaker 1: and it's true. It is going to take a lot
- 16:03Speaker 1: of jobs. I think artificial intelligence is going to take
- 16:06Speaker 1: out a lot of jobs. Elon must says this too,
- 16:09Speaker 1: or anybody that programs right, that's consultants too, or programmers
- 16:13Speaker 1: or even consultants. A lot of those jobs within five
- 16:17Speaker 1: years are going to be going away. It's just a
- 16:18Speaker 1: factor the matter. You can call it progress or not whatever,
- 16:21Speaker 1: it's the way it is. AI is here. It's massive.
- 16:25Speaker 1: It's really important. Now going back to another thing that
- 16:27Speaker 1: Elon says is that the good people win the AI race.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Now you hear a lot about anthropic open AI, Elon's
- 16:39Speaker 1: own Grock. You know, with everything going on there, it's
- 16:41Speaker 1: really important to figure out who's going to win this
- 16:44Speaker 1: AI race and which companies do as well. Apple has
- 16:48Speaker 1: been so far behind in AI for a long time now,
- 16:53Speaker 1: like years, they're like running last in the pack, which
- 16:56Speaker 1: is weird to hear because technology wise, because of Steve
- 16:59Speaker 1: Jobs inventions, they were so far ahead of everything except
- 17:04Speaker 1: for AI. Example, how often do you use Siri? And
- 17:08Speaker 1: hopefully I didn't just set off your phone? That's their
- 17:11Speaker 1: AI like thing. It's slow, it's often inaccurate, it doesn't
- 17:15Speaker 1: work Apple for some reason. Well, I think I know
- 17:18Speaker 1: the reason has been so far behind in the AI game,
- 17:21Speaker 1: and that's what I think I think is behind this move.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Tim Cook is an older guy. That's fine, still a
- 17:27Speaker 1: smart guy. That's not really the main issue. Here's the difference.
- 17:31Speaker 1: He's a he's a numbers finance guy. He's an analytics guy.
- 17:35Speaker 1: This guy coming in as the new CEO is an engineer.
- 17:39Speaker 1: He's a tech guy. That may mean all the difference.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Here's one of the tech bros. There's all kinds of
- 17:43Speaker 1: Like in podcast to stand, there's all kinds of tech
- 17:46Speaker 1: you know, podcasters, and actually some of them are really good.
- 17:49Speaker 1: But this guy does a really good breakdown of what
- 17:51Speaker 1: this new guy's all about.
- 17:52Speaker 8: Big breaking news out of Apple. Tim Kirk is stepping
- 17:56Speaker 8: down as CEO after fifteen years in the row join
- 18:00Speaker 8: Apple in nineteen ninety eight, but he's not leaving. He
- 18:03Speaker 8: joins the board as executive chair. Taking over a CEO
- 18:07Speaker 8: is John Turnus. Apple's longtime head of hardware engineering. This
- 18:11Speaker 8: is a big deal because Turnis is not a financer
- 18:13Speaker 8: and operations guy. He's a hardware and engineering guy. He's
- 18:17Speaker 8: a products builder. He's behind the iPhone, the Mac, and
- 18:20Speaker 8: iPad and has been for years. So what does this mean?
- 18:23Speaker 8: Apple is signaling a shift under Cook. It became an
- 18:28Speaker 8: incredible operations, massive growth, massive growth in services story. Under turnus,
- 18:33Speaker 8: we're really expecting you're a new focus on products, chips
- 18:36Speaker 8: and on the Vice AI. This is the biggest leadership
- 18:40Speaker 8: transition Apple since twenty eleven when Tim Cook took over
- 18:44Speaker 8: from Steve Jobs. But this time he.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Said it right there, exactly it. They're going from an
- 18:51Speaker 1: analytics numbers driven company to one that goes back to innovation.
- 18:56Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that will tell you
- 18:57Speaker 1: this iPhone right here, I have the Air one of
- 19:00Speaker 1: the new ones. It's not that much different than the
- 19:03Speaker 1: designs that Steve Jobs had way back when before he died.
- 19:06Speaker 1: He's been gone a long time. They haven't innovated anything.
- 19:10Speaker 1: They haven't they cameras, maybe the Android cameras are way
- 19:15Speaker 1: better than Apple still to this day, and like I said,
- 19:17Speaker 1: AI is so far behind that may change again. Why
- 19:22Speaker 1: does it matter to you and me because most of
- 19:25Speaker 1: us have one of these things. Depending on what kind
- 19:27Speaker 1: of AI and who's programming AI, and how efficiently it's
- 19:31Speaker 1: designed with the AI information you get and how quickly
- 19:34Speaker 1: you process your information, that determines how we go. This
- 19:38Speaker 1: is a sneaky, sneaky big story. If they have a
- 19:40Speaker 1: guy and hopefully this new you know, head of Apple
- 19:44Speaker 1: uh has his heart in the right place, as may
- 19:48Speaker 1: determine really how people get their information coming in the future.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Sneaky big move and I think a good one. I think,
- 19:54Speaker 1: I hope, I don't know, all right. The takeaway you
- 19:56Speaker 1: gotta fight, fight like cash Betel hopefully fingers crossed. Realistically,
- 20:01Speaker 1: none of us are gonna have to sue a fake
- 20:03Speaker 1: news outlet, right, But that's a large example of how
- 20:05Speaker 1: you gotta treat anything you have to fight these days.
- 20:07Speaker 1: We are just like with the Apple story, we're in
- 20:09Speaker 1: the information age. When you come out with fake news
- 20:13Speaker 1: and personal hit pieces against you, you gotta fight like
- 20:18Speaker 1: he is and you knew that was coming. A two
- 20:19Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollar lawsuit against the Atlantic. Good
- 20:22Speaker 1: good for him, and keep an eye in this Savac story,
- 20:25Speaker 1: I don't know what the next move is, Troy, I
- 20:27Speaker 1: cannot I can't imagine Trump doesn't have a second guard
- 20:32Speaker 1: up his leave on this one. If John Thune is
- 20:33Speaker 1: slow walking this thing or trying to not get it past,
- 20:36Speaker 1: something's gonna happen. Who knows what. Maybe by tomorrow we'll
- 20:39Speaker 1: be talking about it. Who knows. But in the meantime,
