  Speaker 5: irrespective of any other issues that might be left unresolved.
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: I will tell you what went on last night. I
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: will give you my analysis of saying but I want
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: to hear how it is impacting you where you are.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: And all you have to do is dial in four
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: three four eight eight two four two one seven. Gulf
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: shores all around the Gulf of America, from Beaumont all
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: the way around to Largo and Sarasota, Saint Pete. Love
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: and live in life. We need to and please let's
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: not forget. Literally two days after the mullet toss took place,
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: I thought maybe we should go down for the mullet toss.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: I even have an old Moleson beer with a label
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: that says nice mullet on. It never opened. It don't
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: want to now as we gather, there's more of his
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: primary day. Our friends listening, KM, E, T and Kahi,
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: you're hours away from getting ready to vote. Many of
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: you have voted already. I have seen some of the numbers
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: saying early voting has been there. My buddy Drew Allen,
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: co conspirator at Daily Signal dot com on their YouTube channel.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: Go to YouTube and a Daily Signal Drew's comments from yesterday,
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: and I swear to goodness we were on a conference call.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: He must have recorded this right after the conference call,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: because this is exactly what he was wearing during our
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: conference call. But his point on the primary, especially as
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: it relates to the governor's race, bears some fruit here.
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: Let's just look at the latest polls, and I'm being
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: fair here naming every one of them so you know
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: exactly where we stand. Emerson College poll just days ago,
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: May twenty seven, twenty eight Xavier Besserra at twenty eight percent,
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: Tom Stier at twenty two percent, Steve Hilton at twenty
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: one percent, Chad Bianco at twelve percent. Another poll UC
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: Berkeley igs Besara twenty five percent, Hilton twenty one percent,
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: Stire nineteen percent. Bianco in the eleven to thirteen percent range.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: One more PPIIC survey from mid May a little older
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: Besara twenty three percent, Hilton twenty percent, Styre fifteen percent,
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: Bianco thirteen percent. So Bessara is locked in for first.
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: The fight for that second spot is a knife fight
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: inside the margin of air. Now Here is the comfortable,
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: merciless math of California's jungle primary. Top to advance, no
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: matter the party. Republicans are only about twenty five percent
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: of registered voters. The total conservative leaning vote Republicans plus
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: some independence who are sick of this mess adds up
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: to roughly twenty two to twenty five percent. If that
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: vote consolidates behind Steve Hilton, he cruises into the top
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: two and you get a real choice in November. But
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: because of the splits, Hilton stuck at twenty to twenty
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: one percent, Bianco draining eleven to thirteen percent, and suddenly
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: Tom Steyer slips ride into second with nineteen to twenty
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: two percent. Boom two Democrats advanced Besarah and Stier. No
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: Republican on the November ballot, No opposition, just a liberal coronation.
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: Game over for any hope of real change.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: So you find up Daily Signal dot Com as as
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: you do. I he is for California what I do
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: for Virginia. There in great work there Daily Signal dot
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Com and all the state correspondents. We've got Georgia, now
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Texas and all Ohio. So but please go there and
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: check it out. But I think he lays it out
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: in a nutshell. Not that Chad Bianco is going to
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: step out this morning and say, yeah, everyone should for
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: But it is a tough bit of math. Our first
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: things this morning. Court ruling flying in the face of
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: a Trump administration executive order barring transgender soldiers from military service.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: A divided ruling from the Federal Appeals Court in the
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: District of Columbia upholding a lower court's ruling from Washington
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: that the executive order excluding transgender soldiers from military service
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: likely violated their constitutional rights. It's funny how ruling can
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: say likely. Usually they have to be a little bit
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: more definitive. Senate Republicans are going to meet today to
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: talk about their steps after the Justice Department said it
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: would comply with a court order pausing the implementation of
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: the Weaponization Fund. The one point seven seven six billion
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: dollar settlement that President Trump negotiated with the IRS after
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: they released his private documents. Iran has suspended negotiations with
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Washington over Israel's push towards Beirut in Lebanon. Meanwhile, President
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Trump called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nette Yahoo and said
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: needs to stop. He said to the followers on social media,
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: they are not going to be Beirut and they have
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: already turned back. Iranian former President Masud Prazikian apparently resigned
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: over the weekend, sending his letter to the office of
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: the Supreme Leader, as more people question whether the civilian
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: authority has any rule over the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Court,
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: the militia that has taken over many of the regions
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: of the country. Other states having primaries besides California and
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Los Angeles, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: And it is the Democratic Party in court trying to
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: appeal a judge's ruling that President Trump's executive order can
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: go into effect blocking mail in ballots going to anyone
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: except those who have made it onto the approved ballot
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: list of mail in ballot recipients. Up next, AI, we
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: talk about artificial intelligence with Keith Ablow to find out
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: the latest going to walls.
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: It was Medishare that came through for us, and there
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: was no hassles, there was no problem.
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: of such an incredible ministry.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Meta Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: share each other's medical expenses.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years old,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and members have shared over eight billion dollars of each
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: other's medical bills.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: You can focus on on supporting other people.
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: Meta Share is affordable.
• 7:45
  Speaker 10: Medishare is biblical.
• 7:46
  Speaker 11: Medishare is family.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: your healthcare and support your family when you need it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Call eight five five share forty eight five five share forty.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: That's eight five five share forty.
• 8:04
  Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 3: Hiryboddy, I'm Jack. It's always a boy.
• 10:01
  Speaker 13: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
• 10:06
  Speaker 13: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
• 10:08
  Speaker 13: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
• 10:11
  Speaker 13: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 10:14
  Speaker 13: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
• 10:17
  Speaker 13: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
• 10:20
  Speaker 13: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 10:23
  Speaker 13: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 10:25
  Speaker 13: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 10:29
  Speaker 13: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 13: they also perform life saving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 13: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
• 10:39
  Speaker 13: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
• 10:42
  Speaker 13: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
• 10:44
  Speaker 13: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
• 10:47
  Speaker 13: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

  Speaker 5: KHMO love our affiliate Hannibal Mo.

  Speaker 18: If I could, I'd have you meet me, but I
• 13:40
  Speaker 18: don't see how I can. I don't have enough to
• 13:44
  Speaker 18: pay your fair. There's a factory in Columbus hiring now
• 13:50
  Speaker 18: I understand, and they're looking for able.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: Body in man Hey. We're celebrating Pride Month with us
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: in our own way here on first thing today. We
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: didn't talk a lot about this outside of laying out
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: the scene earlier in the program of several stories involving
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: artificial intelligence. Today, Anthropic has filed with the SEC looking
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: at a nine hundred and sixty five billin a billion
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: dollar public offering, and then also the open AI suit.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Florida has filed lawsuit against Open AI, but mostly Sam Altman,
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: not for fanciful AI generated stuff, but for the old
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: mundane thing about lying and committing fraud against the taxpayers.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: To talk about morality and AI, because it's been my
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: contention for some time that generally speaking, an inanimate object
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: like a firearm, and it's only going to do what
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: the humans tell it to is Keith Ablow, psychiatrist, psychologist Keith,
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: I appreciate taking some time out with us to dig
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: in into the definitional issue of this uh time of
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: our lives, which is, what do we do now that
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: the artificial intelligence is out of the box? How are
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: you doing this morning?
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: And I'm doing oka jo?
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: How are you doing? Excellent?
• 15:16
  Speaker 9: Excellent for a psychiatrist to ask you that, you know,
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: you get a psychiatrist on the line saying how are you?
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: Should I lay down the thing? Let me let me
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: tell you about my mom, so you know is shot
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: and freud you're thinking about, you know, bad things happening
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: to your mom. I don't know, uh, but this old
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: psychiatrist jokes now this morning, so talk about this? Is uh?
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: Your columnists for town Hall. I wrote read your piece
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: on on town hall dot com about the core of
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: self and who we are first, And it's always been
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: my contention, like John Adams said, this country is only
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: going to work if we're a moral society, and AI
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: will be immoral if we're immoral, and we tell it
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: what to do immorally, How do we put guardrails on
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: that if we don't do it to ourselves first, Well, I'm.
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: Not sure that we're going to put guardrails on it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: And it's essential to do it for ourselves because the
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: self's under assault. I mean, I have people come to
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: my life coaching practice, for instance, saying already that, hey,
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: this is making it much tougher for me to feel
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: well like me.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Why is that?
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: Well, we're being channeled into like a collective mind, and
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: so people who use AI, and well, all of us
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: are going to end up doing that. It's hard not
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: to use it at all. But you know, if you're
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: a writer, if you're a communicator, if you're a consultant,
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: whatever it might be. It has become almost like an addiction,
• 16:59
  Speaker 9: so that people have to think to themselves, am I
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: being crazy to spend an hour on this project using
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: my mind? Why don't I just use the collective mind
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: of AI? Give it a few prompts, it'll generate the
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: material and I send it off. Well, that's an argument
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: that's being made by millions and millions of people who
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: are using AI and flipping these things back and forth,
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: generated by AI. But the truth is you're not exercising
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: your mind at that point, you're absent. You are being
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: essentially absorbed by the technology and replaced by it. And
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: the idea that we cannot use our minds and have
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: no consequence for that is sheer folly. So what's required
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: is to say, well, I better take opposite action, equal
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: or more than equal opposite action. I'd better find the
• 17:59
  Speaker 9: core of myself. If I didn't know myself before, I
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: better reinforce it. Okay, I better get back in my
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: body and start exercising. I better do these essentially antidote
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: moves because AI is going to absorb people and render
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: them feeling listless, perhaps depressed, anxious. Well, why because you're
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: being emptied out?
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: So there are physical manifestations of an AI addiction.
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: Well, there are definitely physical and mental manifestations of AI addiction.
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: And really, if you think, well, folks who would say
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: I don't know that I have an AI addiction? If
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: you said, well, do you feel that if you don't
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: use it you're getting behind in life? Do you feel
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: as though you're not really as capable as it is?
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: Do you feel drawn to review most things you write
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: or produce to review, have AI review it, and hone it.
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: I would argue, that's an addiction. I would argue, that's
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: like if it were a person and you were calling
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: a person all the time's age joke? Do you mind
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: reviewing this? And you're like, Keith, you call me on
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: every single thing. It's like you have no self confidence.
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: Where has yourself esteem gone? Don't you know you're creative guy?
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: Well that's where we all are headed to relying on
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: this oracle literally or figuratively, to rely on this oracle
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: as though it is better than we are, and that
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: becomes addictive. That's like donating too much psychic blood every
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: day and you get anemic.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Well, Keith, let me let me ask you then. You know,
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: obviously you seem to be sympatico with my belief. If
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: we're moral people, we will not ask AI to do
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: immoral things like all of our work for us and
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: that kind of thing. Is this supplanting? Because I have
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: friends who talk about Bible verse and and and you
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: know they can type in, hey, I'm feeling down. What
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: does the Bible say about, you know, feeling depressed? And
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: it'll minister almost to them, And I worry about that
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: kind of use. I know that AI's chief use right
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: now is research behind friends of mine who are not
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: law clerks paralegals, and they're very afraid for their jobs
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: because their job is generally being the researcher for the attorney.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: And nowadays it looks like AI is better, especially the
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: fact that it doesn't have to go home at night
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: and sleep. Those kind of things, you know, can you know,
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: can be changes. But just like the Industrial Revolution changed
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: everyone from an agrarian society to a manufacturing society, and
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: we had to grasp with that. Is that what we're
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: kind of going through here.
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: I think we're going through that. Yes, it's an extension
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: of that, but it's exponential, as these things often are.
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: You know, we get in our cars and we say
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: I'm going sixty miles an hour. Well kinda, well you are,
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: but the car is doing that and it's transporting you
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: sixty miles an hour. Or you use your GPS system
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: and you say, I you know I got to this destination.
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: Well yeah you did, but you didn't use what we
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: used to have called a sense of direction. You don't
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: need that anymore.

  Speaker 5: because I hate this, it's training. You want to talk
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: about droid drains? Me is how much what we discussed
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: winds up in the hands of somebody in the government.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: And I know that there are hearings, and I know
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: that there are opinions, and I know that there are
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: presidential actions and all that kind of thing. What if
• 29:29

• 29:57
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm not a friend of big government regulation. So
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: do I think they should make AI illegal or try
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: to strip the you know, the core of it from
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: the technology.
• 30:12
  Speaker 19: No.
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: I think really what we have to do is empower individuals.
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: So I would say, listen, let's treat this as a
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: public health issue. It's not like we're going to outlaws cigarettes.
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: We shouldn't do that. But what we should do is
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: look at it from every possible perspective and inform people
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: about the risks of this because we're going to have
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: an epidemic we already do of like depression and panic disorder.
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: What are people going to do if there's rampant unemployment.
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: That's one thing, but that's not even the thing. The
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: thing is, this is a psychological pandemic. This is going
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: to empty out untold tens of millions of their sense
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: that they're active people, that they can reason, that they
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: can use their brains. Because we've got this super brain
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: you can tap into. Why use your own? That is
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: a prescription for disaster Because autonomy, Joe goes out the door.
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: Autonomy is in some ways everything. So we have to
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: defend it.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: So years ago, and unfortunately I have enough miles on
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: my odometer to remember when you know, computers first showed
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: up in the radio stations I was working at, and
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: they said, Hey, we're going to get you this thing.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: It's called an email address, and then we're going to
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: put the radio station on this thing called a web stream.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: So I mean, I go back to AOL, the little
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: disks that used to come in the mail or Netscape,
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: and I remember, you know, the boom being driven by
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: people talking about how much free time we were going
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: to have. And I wasn't a political commentator. I wasn't
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: doing that, but I was the morning show guys. So
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: I felt like I had a role to play in
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: people's days. And I always asked the awkward question, Okay,
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: if I have all this free time, who's paying me
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: for it? You know what?
• 32:12
  Speaker 12: You Yeah?
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: And that was what happened as we went through the
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: tech boom of the nineties, and then that bubble popped
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: and and people started to have unemployment again, and and
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: automation was doing more and more at physical jobs like
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: like like, uh, managing assembly lines and things like that.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: It sounds to me either like it's you know, what
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: do they say about history, It doesn't repeat itself. But
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: at rhymes are we going through the same thing now
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: with AI where the machines that gave us all that
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: unpaid but free time are going to do it again?
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: And and to another segment of population, is that you're concerned.
• 32:57
  Speaker 9: Well, that's part of the concern that will happen. But
• 33:00
  Speaker 9: here's the bigger concern. They're already talking about universal basic
• 33:04
  Speaker 9: income that once this causes, you know, such terrible unemployment
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: that the government should then step in and pay people
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: to not work, like to not farm.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: But then we're all farmers being paid not to farm.
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: What does that mean? It means that you're entirely at
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: that point dependent on government for everything, and that, unfortunately
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: is connected to this. So I think it's important to
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: stop deifying to the extent that they might be the
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: Elon Musks, et cetera. What a brilliant guy, you know,
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: founder of Google.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Brilliant?
• 33:41
  Speaker 9: He's not, but the founder of Google is brilliant too.
• 33:44
  Speaker 9: But you could say, yes, but misguided. We were worse
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: because the end result, like we all have to decide
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: about the things that we're going to get involved in
• 33:58
  Speaker 9: and So you know, if if you're creating a drug
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: that's worse than coke and you're distributing it to everyone
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: in North America and around the world, you're not really
• 34:10
  Speaker 9: doing good. I mean, we shouldn't be thinking how heroic. Wow,
• 34:14
  Speaker 9: he's going to be a trillionaire around must sure, but
• 34:17
  Speaker 9: he's participating in emptying out hundreds of millions of people
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: from their self esteem and their core strength. So what
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: do you do when faced with the fact that this
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: is happening. There's no way it's not going to happen.
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: You can't put the genie back in the bottle. You
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: must have a plan to strengthen the self. It's your
• 34:39
  Speaker 9: only defense. It's as though there's a pandemic and someone said,
• 34:42
  Speaker 9: how about taking some supplements to increase your immune system? Yeah,
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: give me them. Okay, what are the supplements. You got
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: to get to the gym, You got to go to
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: the mind gym. And what does that look like? Well,
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: to some extent, it looks like knowing yourself inside and
• 34:59
  Speaker 9: a really not running away from yourself in any way
• 35:04
  Speaker 9: and becoming more grounded in you than ever.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: Well, considering the last pandemic that the government came up
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: with a quote solution for I don't trust them to
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: come up with a solution for this kind of a pandemic.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: But but but beyond that, I mean, it's you mentioned,
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: it is a thing and it is not going to
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: go away. So when you when you talk about strengthening yourself,
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know this is not new stuff. We're
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: not inventing a new wheel. We're going back to what
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: happened after the first tech boom and people started saying, Okay,
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: what can I do? Is isn't that the most important
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: part of you know, we talk about this a lot.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: We have a day we celebrate people who know what
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: it is God has gifted them to do what their
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: gifts and talents are. And if you know what you're
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: gifted to do, you know what you would do no
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: matter what, You're great at it, and you go and
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: you do it for a grateful community that rewards you.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: You don't have to worry about what the haters say,
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: or you know what somebody on social media says. These
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: are the people who are pardon the torturing of the
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: metaphor vaccinated against that kind of feeling of like, oh
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: the world's against me and everything because you know what
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: you're good at, you know what you're gifted to do.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: It sounds like that is a big step towards this,
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: Keith is knowing who you are, what you can do,
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: and then going finding a way and place to apply.
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: It exactly right, knowing who you are, what you can do,
• 36:38
  Speaker 9: what are your gifts, what are your true goals, and
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: going for it. Yes, also knowing what have I been,
• 36:45
  Speaker 9: if anything, on the run from.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: And most of us are.
• 36:49
  Speaker 9: You know, It's a wonderful thing. And that's what I
• 36:53
  Speaker 9: do with people is I get down to examining their
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: life stories and saying, you know, here's something that may
• 37:00
  Speaker 9: have defined patterns for you that are less than strong.
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: You haven't looked at these things that happened way back
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: when or even more recently. Let's make you not on
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: not have to run from anything, look at the tough
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: stuff in your life and integrated into who you are.
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: And that is essentially like inoculating yourself to some extent
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: from AI because you're saying, well, okay, I'm going to
• 37:27
  Speaker 9: become stronger as a person. Right, I know I am
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: what I've been through and you might discover by the way, Hey,
• 37:34
  Speaker 9: and I never exercised this gift of up of mine.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because I was afraid to do it right. And
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: and maybe, just maybe you can use the technology to

• 41:08
  Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 14: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 14: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 41:24
  Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:33
  Speaker 14: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

  Speaker 5: you know, our brokerage with ourselves and I was you know,
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: And again thanks to Keith A. Ablow, author of The
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: Seven Wonders Times bestseller and and a couple of email
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: and text message reactions to this. Gary for note, I
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: think picks up on the theme I was painting and
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: maybe I didn't do it well enough or what Gary,
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: Maybe you weren't listening to me, you were just listening
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: to Keith. But Gary writes, I take issue with the
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: AI analysis. I'm currently creating a handheld reporting system for
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: railroad track inspectors. With the help of AI. It has
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: been like having tech experts guiding me and teaching me
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: software tricks that would have taken me months to research.
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: I feel fully gratified using AI and a lot more
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: tech savvy. AI is all in how you use it,
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: and I agree with you. I confessed some time ago
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: to longtime listeners of the program that one of the
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: things that has always been a problem for me is
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: I'll have some remarkably visual idea about something in my head,
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: and I have no artistic ability whatsoever. Aside for the
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: people who think this is art. Okay, I have this,
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: but I can't draw, I can't illustrate, I can't paint.
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: But I can take those ideas. Now, for example, on
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: a very obscure kind of snarky thing, as I for
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: some reason decided Gavin Newsom was reminding me a lot
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: of Beavis from the cartoon Beavis and butt Head. So
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: I asked chat GTP to make a depiction of Gavin
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: Newsom as Beavis. And it was brilliant and it was
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: everything I would have wished I could have drawn. So, yeah,
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: does it make me, you know, a little bit better
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: at turning those ideas into something. But again, it has
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: to come from us. If the AI is telling you
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: what to do, that's one thing. But if you're saying, hey, AI,
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: I want to use Java script, just going to use
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: the most basic I think most people know what JavaScript is,
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: even if it's not used in web developing anymore. But
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: it was. It was a language, and I did that.
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: I had to create a website from scratch. This was
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: before WordPress existed in all of these template businesses, maybe
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: they did exist. This is about two thousand and six
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: and I was unemployed. I lost the radio station I
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: was running, and I was looking for work, and I
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: figured a website would be a great way to do it.
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: Have a website and then you can just answer people's
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: email saying go check me out on my website, like
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: in the case of now we have Joe Thomas in
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: the morning dot com Sully think. I think that's what
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: it was called. Then too evolved Joe much so, but
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: I had to create it from scratch. And I'm sitting
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: there absolutely daunted at the eye idea of writing JavaScript.
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: I even got one of those yellow, yellow, and black
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: books JavaScript for Dummies. I was not qualified to read
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: that book, and so but I figured it out and
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: I got the side up and I was just thinking,
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: this is this is brilliant. I can do all this
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: and make this and move this around. And I mean,
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: there were things I had to figure out, but I
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: see what you're saying. It took me a long time
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: just to figure out how to make the website. And
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: then once the website was worthy of somebody looking at it,
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: that's when I started responding to job openings with it.
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: But it needs to it needs to be at our control.
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: It needs to be at our command. If it's not,
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: then you know, we're exactly everything that Keith was warning about,
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: because then we're working for the computer. Does it make
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: automobiles better that an assembly line is automated. Yes. There
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: used to be an expression when I was a kid
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: that you didn't want a car that was manufactured on
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: Monday or Friday. You wanted a Wednesday car, kids, Just
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: look it up. I'm sure Google has something about Wednesday car.
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: You wanted that Wednesday car because people were kind of
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: in their work week. They were in the zone. You
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: were doing this riveting and welding and doing these things.
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: And there's a reasonable question. Henry Ford himself started the
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: assembly line under the idea that these men could put
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: together an automobile faster than anyone else could, and by
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: breaking up the salaries that were required, we could make
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: more cars, sell more for less, and then they would
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: be able to afford the vehicles that they were manufacturing.
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: We've lost that, but we didn't lose that because of technology.
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: In some ways, technology is the fruit of what we've become.
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: And I will harken back to Ron Paul in twenty
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: twelve when he chastened Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Mitt
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: Romney and the moderators from I think it was CNN.
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: They were all. This was right after the suicides at
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: the iPad factory in China, and all three of the
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: other ones were just we're going to force Apple to
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: bring those jobs back to the United States, and everyone
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: rounds of applause. Yay, you know that's the punchline. That's
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: the applause line. I'm going to force Apple to bring
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: those jobs back to America. Ron Paul walks out from
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: behind the lectern and says, I don't think and I
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: forget exactly what the price, but it was like a
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: thousand dollars at the time was a lot for a computer.
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: Maybe it was five thousand dollars, but whatever, whatever the
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: iPad was costing in twenty twelve, he multiplied it by
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: ten and said, I don't think an iPad at this point,
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: at this price helps the American economy. And his point
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: being that a lot of businesses were able to start
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: up because they were able to buy a laptop, an iPad,
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: a smartphone, and they could operate their business without having
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: all these things that used to go into operating a
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: business because you had the technology to do it, just
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: like you're saying, Ray. So there was wealth created by
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: the wealth creation. We were talking about this at dinner
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: last night. Just because Steve Jobs became wealthy, how many
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: other people became wealthy because of the inventions of a
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: Steve Wozniak or a Steve Jobs. That's the question you
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: have to ask about the impact of some of these
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: technologies and that sort of evolution. Anyway, it's time for
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: us to roll until tomorrow morning, five Eastern. I am
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: Joe Thomas, So long and thanks for all the fish.
