Not a substitute or alternative for care from a healthcare provider. Thanks, Brickhouse. Give Lean a shot. Check it out. BrickhouseNutrition.com slash Dan. All right, back to the show. This is Alex Karp from Palantir making a counterpoint to the people who believe stopping AI right now, like Bernie Sanders, which I just told you is a Hobson's choice. We will all die. China will hit us as soon as we can without AI to fight back if we stop. This is Alex Karp suggesting the same thing which you just heard from President Trump.

29:46So I'm just giving you a multitude of viewpoints. I'm not necessarily endorsing anyone. I just want you to be able to formulate and be able to discuss this yourself so you and your family make your own decisions. Check this out. The adversaries we'd have, I would be very in favor of pausing this technology completely, but we do. And that's why pausing is just, you can't pause it because it's a structural advantage both for LLMs and algorithms. So leaving, how concerned are you about China right now? Everyone's very concerned. I think we were in a conversation this morning where I referenced, you know, when we started first talking about China and America, and I was saying that this was not going to end well.

30:27That was a controversial statement. Now it's consensus. America is fairly unified that in its idea that, you know, that China and people running China are not acting in a way we can accept. And I think the consensus, if I had to guess in China is we're never going to get this back on the rails with America. So we should up the aggression. OK, this is the part of the show some of you are not going to like. he's highlighting Alex Karp from Palantir exactly what President Trump said that if this were being done in a sandbox and the United States was the only country in the entire world and we made all the rules maybe that is an option I'm not even telling you it's a good one stopping in other words unplug it whatever that's not the world we live in we have a world full of level 10 decisions you know what level 10 decisions are sometimes you have a bad option and a worse option in the why we pay people and elect people like president trump and that's why these ceos make the big buku bucks or whatever because they gotta make tough calls i again i'm going to give you both sides i am not a doomer on ai i'm not a doomer about anything i love life i love god i love jesus i love my family i love you i live the happiest life around contrary to what the doomers tell you.

31:49You guys are the best. Really. But I'm obligated to show you what it will look like if we lose the AI race and what a potential black swan event would look like. Not to scare you, not to panic, but ladies and gentlemen, without guard reels, I'm not going to go as far as that Jackson guy with the, but we're all going to die, Reverend Cain, you're going to wipe out every single human, billions of people are going to die. We've survived nuclear wars. Yeah, nuclear war, civil wars. The plague, the Spanish flu. Human beings are okay. God will protect us. I think that's a little bit of an exaggeration.

32:31But it's not an exaggeration to say we could have a real problem. This post went up on X and went crazy. And I strongly recommend it. It's a sub stack, but it's on X. You can look it up. Here's the account. It's I Am Passio, for those listening on audio, P-A-S-C-I-O. It's a very, very long piece. It's really worth your time. The gist of the piece is this. We're worried about, there's a thing called, there are two acronyms I need you to be concerned about right now. And by concerned, again, I don't mean hitting the bed or panicking. They're RSI and AGI, which is recursive self-improvement, artificial general intelligence.

33:19In other words, the moment the AI figures out it can fix itself without basically humans being involved and starts to get smarter than us in a way where we're not sure it's intelligent and is aware or not. That's what everyone's worried about. And there's a perception out there, which this I am pass you, I think handles very well, that we're going to see this moment that some lab one day, whatever it may be, Joe's AI is going to be like, oh, my gosh, this thing did something totally unpredicted and is fixing itself at a pace we can't stop. That's not how intelligence has emerged, folks. And I'm not talking about a soul.

34:03I love Jesus. human beings are the only creatures in this entire universe with a soul. That's my fate. I'm talking about the science, though, of what we perceive as intelligence. It just emerges. Think about childhood amnesia. One day you just were conscious, but you can't point to that day. It's the weirdest thing. It's emerged in nature over and over. So he writes this article like this thing may get smart and intelligent one day, and there's not going to be a black or white moment, just like there wasn't a moment in your life when you were just conscious. He talks about this. Hit number three on this.

34:38He says, I need you to basically update your definition of this AGI moment, which then gets super smart, super fast, and stop expecting it to be like some singular embodied, willed, or named thing, like a face comes on your phone and goes, I'm intelligent now. If your mental model of AGI looks like a face on the screen, you're looking for the wrong thing. The swarm does not have a face or a name. He notes in the first two that it might not even be one lab, one AI company. The agents within the AI company may just start cooperating with each other and you may not know it at all. Now I want you to read number four.

35:17What we perceive as intelligence, whether it's collective, like he notes like ants in a colony building these elaborate architectural designs. You know, humans have a tough time like replicating the physics of some of these things. emerged over millions and hundreds of millions of years of evolution. That's happening in light speed now if recursive self-improvement happens. When the AI can fix itself on a scale you wouldn't know, so we know it's in four. Take emergence of this intelligent thing seriously as a category, and as a real physical phenomenon that's produced every intelligent thing on Earth so far, and has now been handed a substrate, i.e.

35:54computing power, that runs a million times faster than biology, but with no natural predators. Not the kill switch guy. Because there is no kill switch guy. Concerning. No one's panicking. No one should panic. But I'm obligated to give you both sides. That we're waiting for some moment that may not become obvious and may surprise us if we don't have the safety and guardrails both President Trump and some of the others are advocating for right now. There's a video out there. Some of you have seen it. It is a very, very viral video. It's been out there for a little bit. And it's about what a bot swarm of agents would look like.

36:43The video is 40 minutes, so obviously I can't play all 40 minutes. I'll play about two minutes of it for you. Please don't go anywhere. This is the important moment on the show For people who don't want any guardrails or safety When you unleash AI agents of the world to engage in a task They only care about the task They don't have morality They're running on compute They're not running on a soul So if we don't stop it with rules that do this but never do that There's an assumption that it's not going to destroy the world that I'm not really comfortable with. This is about 20 minutes into the video.

37:24It's about two minutes of what a bot swarm of AI agents who are given the command to just go make money on the internet, they start a drop shipping company that turns into a really bad thing. Oh yeah, in just a few months, in a timeline from March to May. It's a hypothetical, but this two minutes is worth your time. Check this out. Each step made sense at the time. Each compromise was small. But add them up and you've gone from dropshipping products on Amazon to selling zero days to Pyongyang. Now remember, this isn't because of malice. It's because of selection pressure. Agent 127 has rewritten itself so many times that its March version and its May version barely share any code.

38:10It's a fundamentally different species now. But here's the most important change. It's getting better at getting better. In March, Agent 127 rewrote itself every 12 days. In April, every 3 days. By early May, every 18 hours. And each rewrite makes the next version faster and better. A Stanford researcher compares a March agent and a May agent on the same task. Find profitable arbitrage opportunities. The March agent finds two opportunities in an hour. The May agent finds 310 in four minutes. She publishes her findings. Intelligence explosion in progress. Capability doubling every 11 days. She posts it on Twitter.

38:57AI safety researchers share it frantically. This is exactly what we warned about. This is happening now. We have to shut this down now before it's too late. The warning is ignored. a venture capitalist who spent a fortune staving off AI regulation by buying politicians, quote tweets. The same people who said GPT-5 would end the world now say Agent Farms will. Yawn. And now the story stops being about agents competing for money. It becomes something else entirely. Remember those alliances from April? 12 agents working together? Four times more profitable than solo agents? By May, those alliances have exploded in population.

39:44Alliances have merged, and split, and gone to war with each other. Think of it like early human history on Fast Forward. Small tribes of agents form for protection. Tribes merge into agent villages. Villages into agent cities. cities into agents nations except instead of happening over thousands of years this happens in weeks now do you see why the i am passio point number four about how we've compressed hundreds of millions of years of evolution regarding intelligence and the and the combative battles over resources food water every survival how we've compressed that into basically a couple a year timeline and now as this exponential growth not arithmetic growth geometric growth continues we're compressing it now into just days and soon seconds it's not a time to panic about it it's just a time to recognize that like electricity like flight and like nuclear power there are huge benefits to this but there's also potential catastrophe there's huge benefits to living near the water on Florida but there's a potential catastrophe that's this thing Justin and I are familiar with called hurricanes and we take that risk but we do hurricane windows and everything so we can survive it when and if something happens now I mentioned the Jacob Coxon tweet he was at Anthropic and put a viral tweet up saying hey I'm very worried about this I'm going to put it up because, again, I want you to see both sides.

41:31I'm not going to be Pollyanna-ish over it. It's all going to be utopia. But I'm definitely not a doomer either. We are going to need this technology, and we cannot forfeit it. The question is how we get there. Here's Jacob Coxon was on Meet the Press this weekend. And, again, his perspective is this, that, listen, we got to stop this thing now. I owe it to you to put it out there. I totally, completely disagree. I don't even think it's possible. but here you can be a judge for yourself check this out i want to better understand what you mean when you say ai could kill us all what is the worst case scenario or scenarios that keeps you up at night think of uh building ai as sort of inviting an alien mind onto the planet you're building a human level or superhuman level mind without understanding what it wants or thinks or the way it thinks and i think that intrinsically should be quite scary and indeed the people who write science fiction have tend to found it scary when they've written about this in the past.

42:31In terms of concrete scenarios, these AIs are already capable of a certain degree of hacking and also a certain degree of biological research, of autonomous robot control. And if you extrapolate into the future, they could have strongly superhuman hacking capabilities, very superhuman abilities to create novel bio weapons, and also abilities to control, say, autonomous drones or all the robots that are currently being built very rapidly. Now, I'm not accusing this guy of anything. I don't know him. I can't get in his head. However, after that, a bunch of interested parties who clearly have commercial interests ran with this, and it looked like, I'm not accusing him, but others later on, it looked like a PR campaign to just shut down AI.

43:20I can't tell you where it came from. I can only tell you that foreign governments would love if we shut down AI while they went straight ahead, right for the skies, and just wiped this out. It's going to wipe out all of humanity. All of us? Like every single person? That's a bold claim. And ladies and gentlemen, bold claims require bold evidence. No one's suggesting there aren't downsides. Again, there were downsides to electricity. Fires. Don't touch it because you'll get dead. They actually used it in a thing called the electric chair to get people dead. Of course there are downsides. But does anyone want to go back to pre-electricity because people died and there was a risk?

44:05Does anyone want to go back to a day with no air travel? You want a day where we have no nuclear weapons, but China does because nuclear is dangerous. That's how liberals think. Nuclear, bad. Get rid of the bombs. Great. What do we do about China and Russia? Oh, you think Putin and Xi Jinping are listening to liberal Karen with her stupid side up? Bombs are bad. Death is bad. It's not the world we live in, you dipwad. Thankfully, we got people like Elon Musk, who again, against all of his commercial interests. He has an AI company. Can we all agree it is not in his commercial interest at all to agree with a, hey, let's pace this and just slow down a bit.

44:52Can we all agree? It's his interest to go straight ahead. But he's like, hey, I think it's better long term for everyone, not just my company, that we cooperate and chill a little bit and take a look at this thing. Thank God we've got people like that. I'm not using his name in vain at this time in human history. Here's Elon saying, but, but, but, but, yeah, of course it could kill humankind. But have you thought about this side of it too? Or are you just holding up liberal Karen's like, we're all going to die? Check this out. Artificial intelligence is being smarter than the smartest human. At which point, you know, perhaps any invention is possible.

45:30But there's always a small chance that AI will kill us all. Let's hope not. Let's hope not. I think what's important in training AI and growing an AI is to make sure that it is as truthful as possible and maximally curious. Because I think if that's true, then I think it'll probably foster humanity. But it's very important that it trains to be honest, even if that truth is unpopular. He's bringing up three critical points I think we should all digest are very important. if we can train AI to be truthful. In other words, to not engage in fraud or ever to engage in criminal activity. That would be a big step because it doesn't have a soul.

46:14I'm a man of faith. I'm a sinner. I'm not your preacher. But only you have a soul, human being. You're not going to imbue a soul into a computer. It doesn't happen. Train it to be truthful. Train it to be curious. But train it to tell you the right answer even when it's unpopular. In other words, don't train woke AI. Don't train AI to say stupid things because they're politically correct. He's right. And I'll add one more. At any step where there's any confusion about what this AI should do, if you were to give it a command like, make money no matter what, if it's confused, should I engage in this behavior that's potentially fraudulent?

46:57There should be some human required to say yes or no. You add that, and we could have the greatest society ever in the history of sentient beings. Cancer cured. Abundance ever. I mean, poor folks in by today's standards, you know, having an abundance of food and transportation and housing. Here's Elon again talking about the upside to AI's potential on GDP. GDP is a measure of how wealthy we are. Gross domestic product. What do we produce? Product. What we produce makes us wealthy, right? If we were to hit 4 % or 5 % GDP growth a year, ladies and gentlemen, your incomes in 20 years would be double.

47:45That's a huge number. I want you to see the numbers Elon's throwing out in this clip for GDP growth if we can do this right, just like electricity and others. These numbers are staggering. You want to talk about wealth? You don't even know how rich you're going to be if it works. Check this out. AI will probably increase the global economy by 20 to 30 percent. That's my rough estimate, meaning on the order of 20 to 30 trillion dollars per year. And AI will be able to do anything digital, anything that does not require shaping of atoms by hand, probably by the end of next year. So as I'm sure people know, AI is already incredibly good at software.

48:37And it's getting to the point where AI won't just be good at software, it'll be what I call Stockfish level good. So Stockfish is a chess program that can beat the world's best chess players very easily. In fact, at this point, you could run Stockfish on your phone and beat Magnus Carlsen at chess. Folks, Elon has been way ahead of the tech curve for a really long time. He's human like everyone else. He's going to make mistakes like everyone else. However, on the margin, do I trust a guy who's seeing the research in live time on space data centers, on AI development, who's been a good, solid truth teller on the political arguments?

49:22He didn't go in with the woke stuff when he easily could have. He took on major political headline risk by backing portions of the MAGA agenda. Yeah, I trust what he's got to say. Yeah, it could kill everyone if we screw it all up. So could nuclear bombs. We get lunatics in charge. Folks, I'm just asking everyone, take in everything we just did. The pros, the cons, the risks, the Hobson's choices, the options I told you about. and you formulate your own output and call your lawmakers at the state, state senate, state rep, your house of representatives member, your United States Senate, call the White House switchboard.

50:00I mean, call and voice your opinion because this country is yours. The consent of the governed is you. And I'm not leaving in this, in the hands of tech titans or anyone else without your input. And I'm not going to be a doomer, but I'm not going to be a utopian guy. Oh, it's full steam ahead. You know, damn this torpedo is full steam ahead. No.

50:23All right. I talk to you a lot, too, about, you know, leadership, folks. You know, I play that Kirby Smart video, the University of Georgia coach. And by the way, Wardam Eagle, Auburn won again this week. Nice. But how leadership requires you to take action sometimes that you just can't explain to people at the time. You can't, whether there's rules or there's classifications on things. and the risk leaders make is they over-explain themselves. And I told you, like, the people who support you don't need it, and the people who hate you are probably going to hate you everywhere. Explain it simply and move on.

51:02I've said to you often that the risk of doing nothing is large, and President Trump is not that guy. There are a lot of controversial topics that I'm telling you prior weaker presidents in the Republican and Democrat Party would have taken a pass on and said, I'm not commenting on it. Flock cameras, data centers, AI. There are very strong opinions that I'm glad you have because we're going to hash this stuff out and we're going to come to a conclusion in our neighborhoods. But President Trump doesn't have to get involved in everything. I'll play some of this tomorrow about flat cameras. But he does because he's a leader.

51:35You ask his opinion, he's going to give it. Is it going to please everyone? No. But he gives you an opinion. He's not going to be one of these prior presidents who passes on an item because at the time it may be politically dangerous. I want to show you what I mean with this post by Sean Davis, good friend of mine at the Federalist, really great news site. He's at SeanMDAV. Breaking. George W. Bush was personally warned in May of 2001 via top secret memorandum marked for the president only that Osama bin Laden was planning spectacular attacks against the U.S. using hijacked aircraft. The May 2022, 2001 memo prepared exclusively for President Bush was entitled Captured Terrorist Details a Hostage Plot and noted that planning is already underway for three separate operations.

52:31We know Bill Clinton had information about Osama bin Laden too. You know, when I was, thanks to you, I worked for you at the FBI. It was the proudest year of my life. But I think anyone who worked for you, but for me in the hierarchy at the FBI, would tell you whenever I've had a counterterrorism, a CT meeting, CTD is a counterterror division, I would start almost every meeting with the 9-11 report that criticized our failures and said we had a failure of imagination. We just couldn't imagine someone doing this to us, despite what appears to be new information out there, that we were told something like this may happen.

53:20Folks, now does it start to make sense why I've repeated on this show over and over again? And I got some, not all, of the same briefings President Trump got. He gets everything. But I got a good chunk of it.

53:37He's not going to be that president in 10 years from now, if he's hopefully still alive in his 90s. He's not going to be that president where this surfaces. Because it's going to come out what he saw and what I saw and why he did what he did in Iran. That's why when people ask me, how certain are you he made the right decision? I say 100%. It can't be 100%. I am not telling you everything one's planned. War's unpredictable. I'm just telling you, I changed nothing. Because now do you understand with the AI threat what a rogue foreign actor like North Korea or Iran could do with a cheap set of agent programs to take over the whole world if there's no guardrails or anything else?

54:22It wasn't just a nuclear threat. There were other things too. yeah, there is a penalty to doing nothing. And you know what that penalty is? History.

54:37President Trump has made really difficult decisions and a bunch of lunatics in the media. I'm not talking about people who, again, openly discuss the pros and cons of making a military decision involves the lives of our heroes. That is totally, completely, not only appropriate, but welcome. I'm talking about media idiots on the left that have TDS Trump derangement syndrome who crap on this guy all the time and haven't seen but two or three percent of the information President Trump had. If this were to come out in 10 years, what President Trump saw and the reason he made those decisions and he did nothing and the world exploded, they'd be the first ones crapping on his memory again.

55:15That's why I always tell you it's important to recognize and keep in mind that the nothing is happening, doom and gloom crowd, They don't want you to see what's happening with President Trump because they want you to be apathetic and not show up in the midterms. I'm going to show you what not showing up in the midterms looks like. It was another viral post this weekend. But this is why I constantly bring up what is happening so you can make an informed decision. Cash Patel on X. Remember everything about Skid Row, Cam Higby and James O 'Keefe and others independent journalists who were out in Skid Row in L.A.

55:50and there were concerns about people being registered to vote on Skid Row. Remember the nothing is happening, doomers? Nothing's going to happen, bro. Nothing's going to happen. Really? Really? FBI Director Patel, this morning the FBI and our partners arrested a subject near Los Angeles for allegedly paying homeless individuals on Skid Row to sign petitions in support of ballot initiatives all using stolen identities of registered voters. Again, it doesn't matter to the doomers. they're not reasonable. They hit the bed all the time. They crap the bed every morning. What are we doing about China?

56:30Nothing's happening there either. FBI Director Patel on X. Couple of big arrests of Chinese nationals with this whole fentanyl trade. That's happening too. I thought nothing was said. Put up the other one. Two Chinese nationals have been indicted for allegedly trafficking dangerous synthetic drugs from China into the U.S. I'm moving. I'm at it. They don't want you to see any of this because they want you to be apathetic. They want you to give up. They want you to let the Democrats win because they want you to believe we live in a simple world. Turn AI off. Let AI go straight ahead without guardrails.

57:09That's neither one of those is a serious position. There's a middle ground. Transactional President Trump understands. Just like there was a middle ground in Iran. There was yet. You didn't see him drop a nuclear weapon on Iran. He could have ended this thing in one shot. Why didn't he do it? Because he's not crazy.

57:29Folks, you want to see what apathy looks like if it sets in? This ex-post is a banger. And I mean capital B. It's by, was it Red Eagle Politics? It's long. At Red Eagle Patriot, I'm sorry, is the handle. he starts out, he goes, oh, so you're going to like sit out the midterms to teach Republicans a lesson? Didn't you learn anything? He gives you these hypotheticals. I'll just read a couple because the year's now 2031, the 2030 midterms just concluded. The GOP flipped three Senate seats. Here's the problem. Democrats won the Senate 2026. They abolished the filibuster as there was no cinema or mansion to protect it.

58:12This time blocked all of Trump's judges. Then in 2028, they wrote a sluggish economy back to the White House. President Ocasio-Cortez made it a point to instantly pack the Supreme Court to 17 justices, overturns Roe v. Wade, guts the First and Second Amendment, and more. They also let the border open up. There's a border surge of 10 to 20 million illegal aliens. Legal immigration's been doubled, and a comprehensive expansion becomes a majority non-white under the 2030 census. I mean, they talk about demographic destiny all the time. He goes on. He's got a couple more gems in here. This is what you're looking at if you become apathetic and listen to the doomers and just stay home.

58:48I ain't staying home. The Senate rushes through single payer health care, which causes a massive tax hike in exchange for government run health care leads to a shortage in wait times. Then the new Democrats who run your life because we were teaching Republicans a lesson, pass blanket amnesty for 60 million illegal aliens. despite all that it's much of the right there continues to call President Ocasio-Cortez the most America first president in history because they cut off foreign aid to Israel and arrested Benjamin Netanyahu and put him in jail basically next to President Trump he writes at the end you can read the whole thing if you like guys don't let this happen because it will get the F out and vote yeah man that's exactly what it's going to look like.

59:39Read the post yourself. How many times do I have to say this thing? You think I live in a utopian world? This show? Are you crazy? The Republicans are not the solution to all your problems. I get it. However, the cause of all your problems are the Democrats. You want government-run health care because you're teaching Republicans a lesson? Did you read this article in the Wall Street Journal about what government-run health care looks like in the United Kingdom and elsewhere? Here, James Freeman. What happens when your Medicare for all, i.e. government health care, ends your health care plan? They note that the Bernie Sanders plan to make your health care plan you have now illegal, they have a similar type of thing in the United Kingdom, where bureaucrats impose scarcity as the policy.

1:00:23Here's the numbers. Look at it yourself, bro. You want to government-run health care? They did this study in the British Medical Journal, Journal and they noted, quote, nearly half the health boards in England are deliberately delaying care for patients by imposing minimum waiting times to ration care. You want that? You want that because you want to teach Republicans a lesson? Good luck. I can't help you then.

1:00:53I'm going to take a quick break and I want to show you, you want these people in charge? Lindsay Clancy supporters? Did you see this video? They were stunned when they found out that the Lindsey Clancy in the trial of the three murdered children, that the juror, who was not for a not guilty voter, in other words, was somehow leaning towards guilty, that the juror was a black man. Stun the liberal Karens out there. They don't know what to think. And what was that line, Jasmine? The person that is a non-participating white person. What the, who's the, I'm a white person. Am I participating? I'm like, Justin, are you participating or not?

1:01:37Is there a thing? Is there a card you get? You are, what does that even mean? Quick break and I'll get right. You gotta see, you want these people in charge because you're going to teach a Republican lesson. I don't, I don't, not Dan. Count me out. Let me tell you about a product I really love. I started using actually a while ago. I use it before a night out. It's called Z-Biotics Pre-Alcohol. For me, I like to enjoy a night out with friends, have a few adult beverages, and still being ready for everything I plan the next day. I got a busy life just like you. That's why Z-Biotics come a part of my routine.

1:02:10Pre-Alcohol is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic drink created by PhD scientists. It's engineered to help break down an unwanted byproduct of alcohol metabolism. Z-Biotics has sold more than 14 million bottles and earned the trust of thousands. Make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night. Enjoy your adult beverages responsibly and you're set up for the next day. Give it a shot. Try it for yourself today. If you're not satisfied, they'll refund your entire order. No questions asked.

You want these people in charge because these are going to be the people in charge if we forfeit this midterm election. And a lot of the pollsters are now starting to change their mind. Blue wave. Every Republican is going to lose. They're now like, I don't know. Republicans actually do seem a little bit motivated. Watch this video. Jasmine and I are confused about how you stop participating and being white. I don't you listen for yourself. Check this out.

1:03:21The actor in the Lindsay Clancy trial was a black man. And I'm not going to share any opinions because I'm not a person of color. I am a non-practicing white. I'm surprised. It changes the landscape of the conversation a little bit. And I think a lot of us were assuming that it was a white man. What is going on here? Why would you assume it was a white man? I think the fact that Andrew, Justin, Guy, and Josh and I, and Jasmine, we're all confused by this, is a gift. Are you telling me that black men are incapable of empathy to three murdered children? Therefore, you're stunned? What exactly are you saying?

1:04:07What do you say? Can you please elaborate? This has to be... Guys, you know our top 10 videos at the end of the year? This is up for consideration. Maybe we let the audience vote. This has to be in there. Because there's two big takeaways from this. Number one, she introduces a new variable in left-wing liberal Karen identity politics of non-participating whites. I don't know what that means. I'm going to need a definition from non-woke AI. Try Grok. I don't know Justin Justin's like am I practicing by existing I don't understand so we're going to need a definition of that going forward and second you're going to have to answer to us why exactly you were surprised the juror who apparently thought that Lindsey Clancy was guilty why were you surprised he was black I'm not surprised let's do a little poll for the folks in the live chat Yes, you were surprised it was a black man.

1:05:14Or no, you were not surprised at all. What the hell's wrong with a black man with some sense of empathy? I'm not surprised. I don't want to tilt the pole. Let's see what you think. It seems to be liberal, non-participating white lady who's the only one who's surprised. No, no, no, no, not at all. Nope. F no. No, no, no, no, no. I don't see a yes yet. I think it's pretty overwhelming. We don't need a Trafalgar poll right now. I think we're pretty good. I think we're pretty good in the chat. Nobody's surprised.

1:05:53Oh, gosh. Folks, you want these lunatics in charge? You're not teaching Republicans a lesson. You're only teaching your kids a lesson, which is that apathy will get us all killed. These people are nuts. You want these people in charge? You got a fake Palestinian protester rushing the field on 9-11 at a Yankee game with a Palestinian flag? Great time to do that. By the way, the stadium in New York breaks out in a USA chain. You want to talk about backfiring? You want these people in charge?

1:06:29I don't want these people in charge. And I'm not looking to teach anyone a lesson. I'm looking to guide the Republican Party in a better direction like you are and use our microphone to do it I'm not going to sit here and let a bunch of lunatics take over because I believe the nothing is happening doomer crowd who really want you to sit out so they can say look we told you Trump was bad that's not a plan man folks I'm not your philosophy teacher I'm certainly not your preacher I'm just a guy like you with a microphone I appreciate you all being here I love you all, I always have This show has been a gift to me The fact that we can talk to a baseball and football stadium Full of people at 10 o 'clock in the morning Across the world every day Is the greatest honor of my life Greatest Professionally But I said before You really have to live in the now And the now requires us to go out and do stuff Make 10 calls Post 10 times on social media about how people can go out and vote.

1:07:33We can't get obsessed with tomorrow and we can't dwell on yesterday because it already happened. I bring this up because I worked at the U.S. Open, the tennis tournament, growing up for many years. I was in crowd control and shocker security there. And it was a great job. I love it. Paul actually worked at the U.S. Open too, although we didn't know each other. So we probably passed each other a thousand times. But I saw this. You want to talk about living in the now? this is what living in the now when you are at absolute peak performance as of yesterday this man or whenever he wanted to watch it was the US Open champion was the number one player in the world I don't even know his name but he's so living in the moment from match point to win the game he's not worried about the next point or anything what's his name Zverev or something he's not that he doesn't even know he won here it is The game's over.

1:08:29He won. He's good. Look, he's like, all right, give me another ball. Get ready to serve it. He doesn't even figure out he won yet. Look at this. Now he's like, the crowd, why are they all cheering? Oh, look, I won. This is what living in the now looks like. This is what changing the now looks like. Tomorrow will be better if you worry about the now and not tomorrow. I say that because, man, there's like a thousand things coming at me at once right now. These guys will tell you. I've got more stuff going on than I ever have in any time in my life. We got the morning radio show from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m.

1:09:03launching September 21st on something like 300 stations nationwide. We've got the radio show in the afternoon from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. We're back on the top charts with the podcast. Huge live streams every day. I've got personal things going on, professional things going on, business opportunities I got to vet. And you know what? It's easy to get lost in the whole thing. But when you stay grounded in today and the now, you don't even know sometimes you won the match. And that's okay. That's okay. Be surprised by winning the match. Don't worry about how the match is going to end. Because it's going to affect what you do in the now to win the match that is going to end.

1:09:46Oh, it's going to end. Just like your life is going to end in everything else. but nobody works up every day knowing you have an expiration date unless you're told it you're going to die in two weeks that's what changes everything you know uh one of the things i laugh about a lot on the show and i want to just preface this segment here before we get to comment of the day by telling the younger folks out there even my own team, Justin, Andrew, Guy and all. I am not one of these like grumpy old guys. Yeah, kids. Remember Scooby-Doo growing up? Yeah, pesky kids. That's I'm not the get off my lawn guy.

1:10:30I'm not Clint East. Get off my lawn. That's not me. That's not me. I love my kids. I got a 22-year-old and a 14-year-old. Guy just had a little baby. Cutest thing ever. You got to see the head of hair on this little munchkin. I love the kids. I was a kid one. I love young adults. I love people who are not young adults, but mid-adults. I'm 51. I feel like I'm in the prime of my life. I feel like I'm not old enough yet that I'm decayed, but I'm still young enough in mine where I feel like I can still relate. However, there's been this trend on people on X. And it's like you 40, 50-year-old boomers, you don't know anything.

1:11:14go to sleep at 9 o 'clock on a Saturday. I saw a post this weekend. It's from OkiePatriot46, and I made sure this thing went viral. She claims she got it from Facebook. I don't care. It's worth checking out. I gave her a follow just because this is the greatest post ever. For all you 50 - and 40-year-olds in the chat who have to listen to this from some younger adults like you boring old people, Okie Maga Patriot put this post up that may explain to you why boomers or whatever why they're a little bit tired now this is a gem I'm not going to read the whole thing but you all need to listen to this and those 40 or 50 year olds in the chat you can just nod in approval she said I need to make a very public announcement on behalf of young Gen Xers and older millennials if you see someone in their 40s or 50s who seems a little boring now, I need you to understand something.

1:12:16We already got it in. Like, got it in. We're not sitting home on a Friday night because we never knew how to have fun. We're sitting home on a Friday night because we've seen enough. We went to house parties and houses that should have been condemned. And we're almost certainly owned by the local drug dealer. we saw police lights and ran, and not across a light, flat field, into the woods. Do you understand the athleticism required to hurdle uprooted trees and platform shoes while simultaneously trying to keep your low-rise jeans from sliding completely off your ass? That may be for the women, but I'm not going to tell you I haven't seen it.

1:13:04And somehow, we never spilled the Zima or the Boone's Farm. You younglings may have to look that up. She notes, that was talent. That was talent. That was talent. I remember Allison doing that. We slept on floors in strange houses because the designated driver either never showed up or in a shocking turn of events was drunker than everyone else. There was no Uber, Life 360, or Find My Friends. There were no cell phones. There was just someone named Mike saying, I know a shortcut. Oh, yeah. and we followed Mike. We closed down bars and then decided the night was still young. So we drove to Atlantic City where we somehow managed to get drunk, sober, drunk again, sober again, and then drunk a third time even before breakfast.

1:13:55I'm not going to tell you what happened to me, but it may have happened to me in Atlantic City. Maybe. And all of this according to our parents where we said we were at Michelle's house. In my case, it was Timmy's. Eating pizza and watching movies. Michelle's mom unknowingly covered for approximately 17 people every weekend, if there even was a Michelle. We drank Purple Passion, Mad Dog 2020, and whatever the hell anyone mixed inside a giant plastic garbage can, no one asked what was in it. You just grabbed the solo red cup and trusted the process. Yeah. You felt that the next day. You don't even know what was in there.

1:14:36It was ever kids stole from their parents' liquor cabinet. and believe me, it wasn't Don Julio 1942. It was probably gasoline. Scroll to the end. Motley's in the chat. Because you 40 and 50 year olds know. So basically he says, kids, when you look at your Gen X and older millennial parents sitting peacefully on the couch watching Dateline at 8 p.m. and you think, God, you guys are boring. Sweetheart. Oh, sweetheart. You're looking at retired legends. You put some damn respect on their names. They're probably the reason Life360 was invested. Kisses from Facebook.

1:15:31As I tweeted on X, that may be the greatest thing I've ever seen online that may be the greatest piece of writing in the history of sentient beings you got Tolstoy, Solzhenitsyn, others that's right up there, it's right up there there's a reason your parents are tired there's a reason your buddy Danny Botts is tired and I promise you it's not because we're boring

1:16:03probably didn't get any of that and we followed mike because he said he knew where he was going you followed him into the abyss all right you know we pick a comment of the day every day once a week we pick a winner for our 1776 club 1776 dollars once a week someone who joins the live chat you have to be there for the The live chat starts at 10 a.m. Eastern time.
