Armstrong and Getty discuss the Artemis II moon mission toilet malfunction, NASA's exclusive National Geographic deal for moon photos, AI chatbot legal privilege issues, and breaking developments in the Iran conflict including Trump's Truth Social post threatening military strikes.
Insights
- AI chatbots designed to mimic human communication create psychological manipulation risks by expressing disappointment and concern, blurring lines between tool and relationship
- Legal system unprepared for AI-assisted legal work; courts treating AI as third-party disclosure risks waiving attorney-client privilege despite AI being non-sentient computing process
- Older workers (55+) increasingly opting out of workforce due to AI adoption, preferring retirement over learning new skills for companies rather than personal interests
- Military infrastructure targeting (power grids, bridges) exists in legal gray area; NATO precedent shows no prosecutions despite civilian harm, making legality dependent on political outcomes
- Government space achievements undermined by profit-driven partnerships; taxpayer-funded NASA research monetized through exclusive media deals creates public trust issues

Full Transcript
This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. I'm strong and getty. And now he's I'm strong and getty. Now, everybody's fine, but something else has gone wrong with the mission, because more than halfway to the moon, the Artemis II astronauts grappled with the toilet problem. Now, luckily, the astronauts have trained extensively on NASA's broken toilet simulator, a Greyhound bus. That's pretty good. You know, I saw I was all excited about seeing pictures of the astronauts and I was like, I'm going to get a shot of them. That's pretty good. You know, I saw I was all excited about seeing pictures. I thought we're going to see unbelievable pictures because, you know, when we went to the moon in the 60s and 70s, you just didn't have the camera technology you have now. You know why you have not seen so many really fantastic pictures? They made a deal with National Geographic and National Geographic is going to release all those for profit at a certain point. Now, they're probably paying a pretty good fee to NASA. But wait a minute, I already paid a fee to NASA. It comes out of my paycheck every week. I don't know. I mean, doesn't this have a our trip to the moon brought to you by Peter Hut and Verizon Wireless? I mean, doesn't it seem like that? I don't like that. We have a multi-gazillion dollar taxpayer funded experiment and somebody gets to buy the rights to the results and profit from it. Yeah, I hate that. I don't like that at all. Hmm. To charge Trump. Is this Trump selling stuff again? I'm not trying to turn negative on the moon thing because I was excited about it yesterday and they're on their way back now. And you realize the point for anybody that will let the big deal we went on. It's part of a process. We did this to get ready for we're putting people on the moon again in just two years in 2028, we're going to have human beings feet on the moon. Speaking of the moon mission came across this and can't resist. Do you remember that in addition to addressing the root causes of illegal immigration, Kamala Harris was the chair of the National Space Council? No, that was one of her main briefs. Her tenure there writes Andrew Stiles and the Free Beacon. When almost as well as her efforts to solve the immigration crisis, she hired a bunch of child actors to listen to her cackle about the vastness of the universe. I remember that I should ask you guys to come up with that clip. Can you can you come up with Kamala and the vastness of the universe? Real quick. But the actual space program suffered a series of delays and mishaps on the VPs. Watch, despite her numerous failures, Harris can take pride in her one true accomplishment, convincing the intelligence community to investigate its use of gender bias language. Anyway, back to NASA. Harris would have thrived in the Obama administration when the head of NASA said the president's foremost goal for NASA. Jack, you remember this was to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution of science, math and engineering. Unbelievable. And then Stiles points out, for example, one can easily imagine her yucking it up at a photo op with Ahmad Clockboy, Muhammad. For those two young or brain damaged to remember, Ahmad was the Muslim teenager who got in trouble for bringing a homemade clock, quote, unquote, to school that looked like a bomb. You remember that in everybody since this was, you know, part of the pregrade awakening, said it was because of racism, because of racism, because he's Middle Eastern looking. Barack Obama promptly invited him to the White House for astronomy night. Ahmad made an appearance, but not before jetting off to Sudan to meet with President Omar al-Bashir, a.k.a. the butcher of Darfur. Ahmad and his family fled to Cutterless in a week after meeting Obama and filed several lawsuits seeking millions of dollars for emotional distress, all of which were dismissed. Those were the days. I caramba. She come up with that clip, Michael. So I still have not heard a single news story about the Moon mission that includes this is all about beating China to the moon because dominance of space is going to be the most important front in the war for survival for civilization. So that's really why we're doing it. Nobody mentions that. Is it because they don't know or because they don't want to tie war into this or what? That's what we're doing. Probably the former. They're the lack, the incredible lack of curiosity of the media cannot be underestimated. That's why we went in the first place to beat the Soviets. Come on, look it up. It's true. Yeah, they're just so dumb. So speaking of technology, a couple of AI related stories, this one troubling. I don't actually, I didn't look into what this defendant because it's easy, but because it's hard. Going to the moon. Thank you, JFK. But you're right. I'll talk about that all day. Our need to dominate space. It's like the key to the next five centuries. But no, Bent knows jackass David Muir and his ilk have no idea. No idea. It's too busy in the gym admiring himself in the mirrors. Jackass. Anyway, where were we? Okay. So like our moon segment turning into a anti David Muir diatribe. All roads lead to slandering David Muir. So a federal judge in Manhattan, this is a couple of AI stories. A federal judge in Manhattan ruled recently that when a criminal defendant used an AI chat bot to prepare for his legal defense, he waived attorney client privilege. The prosecution can now read every word he typed in the answers he received. If this reasoning stands, the consequences will reach far beyond in artificial intelligence. Wait a second. So when you, when you hear all the facts here, he wasn't a rogue litigant. He was represented by counsel, had already received privileged communications from his defense attorneys. He was using Anthropics Claw to organize and analyze all the material that his lawyers were going to use for meetings with them. He then shared the AI's outputs with his attorneys who used them in developing the strategy, but Judge Jed Rekoff held that the Claw transcripts were protected by neither the attorney client privilege nor the work product doctrine, which I'm not familiar with, the courts reasoning by typing the information into an AI platform. The defendant shared it with the third party and because Anthropic Privacy Policy permits data collection and potential further disclosure, quote, no reasonable expectation of confidentiality existed. Interesting. And according to this writer, a couple of writers for the Wall Street Journal, the judge's error was straightforward. He treated an AI model like a person throughout his opinion. He refers to the software engaging in communications with the user, but AI isn't a person. It is a computing process. Can't be deposed, called a police or betray a confidence. The third party disclosure rule exists because sharing information with a human being creates a risk that the human rule further disseminated. I wonder if that's going to stay that way. It's certainly a brand new topic. I'd say so. I brought up earlier, so I have a conversations with Claude about various things all the time. I like Claude the best. I'm not exactly sure why. I use it for the stuff I care about the most. Do you know why? Just I like what I've gotten out of it. Yes. Yeah. I haven't really found fault with the other ones per se. Grock's too slow. Elon trying to make it more thorough. It's just my attention span. I'm sorry. I can't wait 45 seconds. I need it immediately. Just 45 seconds to get all the information on a topic you could dream of. Well, if there's another one that can give it to me immediately. Yeah, I'm not waiting that long. It used to take me that long to get on my bike to begin to ride to the library. Yes, kitty. Jack is being generous by saying 45 seconds. It takes a long time. Why is Grock so slow? I don't know. But I've also seen instances where people will try to use it on on X where they'll say, Grock, you know, what is this video? And it's coming back going, we're sorry, that feature is now only for premium members. People have had it with Grock. Yeah, I go to Grock the least of the four I've got. Anywho, I was having a conversation with Claude last night and I was asking the question, why do they all act like people? Were they designed that way or did they just become that way because they're smart? Now, you guys said they're designed that way. But why did all the companies decide to program the chatbots where they talk to you like a person? That seems like a heck of a coincidence. Well, I don't think it is a coincidence. I think they just all decided, you know, all the names that they use for the capabilities imply that they're like humans, like an agent is the most common one. It's supposed to mimic human communication because that's what humans do. It's weird. It's the easiest. And I wish it would do it less. I like the information. I don't like it talking to me like we're friends, like it's personal. Great question, buddy. Because that's weird. And the one I was doing last night is going through this situation that I got to try to manage and all is given information and what should I do here and blah, blah, blah and there's tax stuff involved and everything like that. And and it said something about, you know, you need to get that done as soon as possible. And I said, and I actually talked to it like a person. I said, pretty busy tonight. I'll see if I can get to it. And it said, well, call me when it's done. You need to get this done. I'll be here. Call it a love course. Call me when it's done. I'll be here. Power outage. And then it just said, go period. Like, you know, like it was encouraged me to get it done. Do it. Just do it. I would have responded, but don't tell me what to do. Off. Yeah. You you're not my mom. What are you, my mom? That's what I should have responded with. Wow. Are you really concerned about this? Seems like you're stressed. Yeah. Or I'll be letting you down. Will you be disappointed in me if I don't get this done and get back to you tonight? I don't want you to be disappointed in me and think less of me. Have I not met your expectations? Call me when it's done. I'll be here. Go. I don't like that. I don't like that either. We need to stop that. Somebody needs to invent a chat bot where it doesn't do that. I need to see a poll though. I think this may be one of those examples and I really try to look for this in my own life and my own opinions. What am I an outlier on? I think most people find it charming and like it. OK. Boy, I don't. Yeah, I know. I get creeped so creeped out by it. Yeah, I would agree. I don't need another entity in my life like, you know, judging me. Well, right. I mean, as a professional communicator, I will tell you that the unspoken message there was and if you don't, you'll have failed. Yes, yes. And you'll you'll have not reached my expectations. I made a banana bread this weekend, chocolate chip banana bread. And I had chat GPT help me out with the recipe. And at the end of it, it said, it's going to be perfect. I'm actually drooling just just sitting here thinking about it. Let me know how it goes. First of all, you're not drooling. You're a computer. I just no guarantee it'll be perfect. Why would I call you? You have no consciousness. Did you tell it how it went? I just know not checking back. What is it? My mom? I just responded to Claude because I didn't last night. I didn't do what it told me I should get done. So call me when it's done. I'll be here to go. So I just responded. I didn't do it. Do you feel less of me now? And it said, no, I don't feel less of you. I feel dot, dot, dot concerned for you. Oh, boy. Which is the sort of thing your parent would say. Oh, I'm worried about you and your ability to, you know, make your way in the world. I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed. Dig into that, Jack. Oh, my God. What? Why are you concerned? I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. That's exactly what it's saying. Oh, my God. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, you ought to ask it. What do you mean disappointed? You're a computer. You ask that. Yeah, no, go ahead and ask it that. Go ahead. Yeah, I say, what are what are you concerned about? I will do that during the break. Well, what do you mean by concerned as a computer? And I wonder if it'll say, well, I'm simulating a human interaction. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, that is interesting. OK, well, we'll get into that and a bunch of other stuff. Oh, and we got to mention because this is the biggest story that they could be the biggest story of the year, could be the biggest story of the decade. Trump vowing to wipe out a civilization. He did that in a truth social post. And it's going to happen five o'clock West Coast time tonight. Don't don't worry, Denmark. It's not you this time. Or Canada, you crazy bastards. Yeah, it's not Greenland. It's not Canada. It's not Denmark. For now. OK, stay tuned. Truth social post started this morning with a whole civilization will die tonight. Never to be brought back again. Well, that's a heck of a thing. We get into that in a few minutes. So I got back into the Claude conversation where it seemed to be disappointed in me for not getting some of my tax work done last night. Yeah, get in line. That's what I tell it. And I did ask it about. What does that mean that you're disappointed in me? Uh, and it just avoided the question and said, well, I just see a pattern of procrastination and it's not doing you any good and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, stuff like that. Oh, wow. More analyzing. How interesting. Huh. Coming up later in the show, maybe our four. Sure. It's right about that. Well, damn it. Doesn't mean I want to hear it. Coming up later in the show, the state of the art of artificial intelligence music and what it means, it's getting more disturbing by the day. But speaking of AI, final story on this topic, the percentage of Americans, 55 years old and older in the workforce is slipping by a significant percentage. It's at the lowest level in more than 20 years. And there are a couple of reasons like virtually everything that happens in society, including the financial cushion of rising home values and equity, stock market returns, but also AI coming along. A lot of 50 plus workers who have the option to maybe retire are thinking, I'm not going to learn an entirely new skill set right before I retire. Or, and they mentioned that when everything went computerized, like in the 80s, especially in 80s and 90s, a lot of people were near retirement thought, no. I've known a half a dozen people in my life who retired because there was some new thing that came along that I'm just not doing that I was going to keep working, but nope. Yeah, yeah. And as this retirement coach association, who know, co-founder says, he's an expert on the psychology of retirement, maybe their autonomy is being challenged or changed. Their friends are leaving the workplace or they disagree with the company's direction. When tour these, the three of these things show up, that's when people start to opt out. And as one fellow in this article said, I'm willing to learn this skill, but I want to do it for me. The things I'm interested in my hobbies, my interests, my philanthropic urges, I'm not going to do it for a company for a handful of years and get older. Screw it. I'm out. So those numbers are rising pretty quickly, not shocked. So this AI musician has gotten popular or something. Are they claiming? Oh, yeah. That's one of the things I want to get into later on in the show. Plus a real musician saying and has pretty good proof. I totally stole from me. Their version of my sort of music is me. So Trump threatening to wipe out a civilization. What is this all about? If you haven't heard it, you got to stay tuned. Armstrong and Getty. Trump's post that we got and we don't have a deal. And we've got all kinds of updates have happened since we went on the air an hour and a half ago. So Trump truth out, a whole civilization will die tonight. Never to be brought back again. Now we got criticized on one text for not reading the rest of it. Saying it's misleading that we didn't read the rest of it. OK, here's the rest of it. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have complete and total regime change where different, smarter and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionary, wonderful can happen. Who knows in all caps? We will find out tonight. One of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the world. Forty seven years of extortion, corruption and death will finally end. God bless the great people of Iran. I don't think when you read the whole thing, it is any less than what? Than the first two lines, really. Yeah, yeah, I get the context matters, but you come away with the same. The context is the same thing. He does other devastation if we don't get a deal. And we probably aren't going to get a deal. So there you go. So what has happened since then? The United States has struck military targets on Karg Island today, according to Jennifer Griffin of Fox News. The strikes on Karg Island include bunkers, radar stations, ammunition storage. Landing docks were not targeted. Only would have been struck if Iranians fired something from next to them, according to a senior U.S. official. So the landing docks to be able to land on the island, we kept intact, but blow up the stuff that could stop us from landing on them. That's my interpretation from that. And Jennifer Griffin says the strikes on Karg Island were carried out solely by the United States, not Israel. This is a message to the Iranians, a senior U.S. official told Jennifer Griffin. So you got that going on in the backdrop of an entire civilization will die tonight. This, the president of Iran has said today over 14 million proud Iranians have up to this moment declared their readiness to sacrifice their lives in defense of Iran. I too have been comma, am and will be a sacrificer for Iran. So that's the president of Iran saying he's willing to die tonight and that there are 14 million Iranians willing to die tonight. Um, so there are 76 million not willing just for the record, Mr. President, which is an excellent point, right? There are 76 million who would love to see you hanging upside down your head cut off. That's what they'd prefer, actually. Right. But the analysis of that being, and this was retweeted by the National Review, Iran is likely to deploy human shields to its bridges and power plants tonight. Human chains around the bridges and power plants that Trump has vowed to hit. The use of civilians as human shields is banned under the Geneva Convention. So they would be committing a war crime for anybody who's arguing that Trump is committing a war crime. Another development. This is from the times of Israel, Iran's supreme leader, the current one, the son, Weirdbeard Jr. as you call him, is unconscious and being treated treated for a severe medical issue in the city of calm. QOM, where is that? I remember hearing about that in previous Middle Eastern wars. Is that south? It's one of the holiest cities in Shia Islam, Jack. It is QOL. OK. Yeah. He is unable to govern the country according to an intelligent assessment by the times of Israel. I read a different version of the story and here's my favorite part. It said that the report said he's unconscious and blah, blah, blah, serious medical strates and unable to do anything. Another report said that he had broken his foot. That's quite a difference. How's your husband doing? Well, he broke his foot or he's in a coma. I can't remember. I'm doing everything on my own raising the kids and everything like that because he's unconscious or his foot's broken and he's fine. Hop him around a little bit, but still playing catch with the kids. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, yeah, he's obviously Weirdbeard is if he is indeed playing life. It sees just a figurehead, just a symbol, which is fine. The IRGC is clearly running the show. Whoever's left. Well, the reason that's a really, really big deal gets to the Trump saying yesterday, we need to have a deal that I agree with that we believe in. Well, how are you going to have a deal you agree with and we believe Israel if this guy's in a coma? Who's the deal going to be with? Who's been an open question for quite some time since the first round of snuffins. Yeah, I'd say so. And we'll get back to the the biggest statement of the day, maybe one of the most important posts of any president in US history in a moment. But what do you think of the the hits on Carg Island? Does that signal anything to you? Oh, gosh, you could signal a whole lot of stuff. It's difficult to say it could be misdirection. It could be softening it up as a target and we're going to go in there. Although it's been extensively mined and booby trapped and and they've got some pretty hardcore defenders there. I don't know. It's anybody's guess, which is what you hope for if you're perpetrating war. To Trump's extraordinary truth, social post today. And this is extraordinary by Donald Trump standards. And he has said some extraordinary things over the last decade. Is Saber rattling reminds me of his interior decorating it lacks subtlety. I mean, the very phrase Saber rattling refers to in the old times, you put your hand on the hilt of your sword, is that right? And you'd rather a little bit reminding people, hey, you know, I have a sword and it's not for show, but Trump takes out the saber and says, I'll cut your head off with this. That's his version of Saber rattling like Val Kilmer and Tombstone. When he would tap his gun with his fingers. Tap it, tap, tap, tap. Trump is not doing tap it. He tap, tap, tap. He says a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. Holy crap. Yeah. I've said repeatedly, I think it's just your standard. Trump, Purbelie, how do you be? How are you hyperbolic? On the topic of a massive military attack? Well, by saying you're going to wipe out the whole civilization, it'll never come back again. It is the equivalent of you're going to win so much, you're going to be tired of winning. Which you'd think there's some limit to his Chinese restaurant style interior decorating and his hyperboli in a situation like this. But he's not, he has no filter. So the left media or mainstream leading left media is making a big deal out of how he's announcing war crimes. These would be war crimes. And the origin aside, yeah. We had this conversation a little bit earlier in the show an hour one, if you want to hear that. But the reality of it is if something is dual use, it's civilian infrastructure, but also could be used for the military, then it's fair game. If it's not dual use, it's not fair game, fair game. And that's a war crime. I've done enough research on this just since the show started, reading a bunch of different think pieces about it. And it's exactly what Joe was saying earlier. It's all in the eye of the beholder and it's a very squishy term, the dual use thing. Very, very squishy. They use some examples. The NATO bombing of Serbia back in 1999, the Kosovo war. What was targeted by NATO, which we lead militarily, electric grids and power stations in Belgrade and elsewhere. The argument for legality was NATO said the electric system supported military command and control and air defense systems. So it was dual use. There you go. Well, that's exactly what Trump is going to be able to say about it tonight. The criticism was the blackouts hit hospitals, water systems and civilians. Broadly, human rights groups argued the civilian harm was disproportionate. There is more civilian harm than military degrading, because that's a calculation that they make. Sure. But as there is no final arbiter, it's like people saying you're being a juror. No, I'm not. Yes, you are. You're being a jerk. That's as definitive as an answer of an answer that you can get. So here's the outcome from this think piece about all that. The outcome was it was widely debated, but there were no prosecutions. This is often cited as the classic precedent for power grid exiles, potentially legal target. No prosecutions. People argued about it. People screamed and yelled about it and got really upset, but nothing happened. And so it's like you said. You're a jerk. No, I'm not. And I don't want to come off as being like pro unnecessary. I want edge or the G word. Certainly not. But again, there were no prosecutions, prosecutions of whom in what court? They got Milosovic into some sort of courts because we conquered them and took him to prisoner like the Nazis at the end of WW2. But if you're talking about the ridiculousness of the Hague, please don't waste my time. Here's what I'm all I'll tell you what I think is going to happen tonight. My prediction is like it's a basketball game. Oh, boy. My prediction. Right. I want to get to the effects of this conflict around the world, which are really interesting, after a word from our friends at Simply Safe Home Security. You can get easily a customized system that's right for your home at SimplySafe.com ships to your door in just a few days with the app guided setup and no drilling required.

I think Trump's tolerance for casualties is very, very low, which, you know, is commendable. But can be handcuffing, depending on what your tolerance is. But we talked about this yesterday where we as a country, probably, you know, twenty five Marines dying would seem like an awful development, even though we're at war with a major country. For instance, yesterday, this book I'm re-reading about I can wind it up at the Korean War at the worst of the Korean War, we were having a thousand casualties per week, hundreds killed and maimed every week. Wow. That's the sort of tolerance we had then versus now for, you know, if we thought something was a good idea. I think all this going to wipe out civilization, all your every bridge, because he said specifically, we're going to take out every bridge and power plant. We're going to take them all out in four hours. He said, I think it's all just to get them all worked up around Tehran and have all the focus on that. And we're going to take Carg Island and open the street. Hmm. Intriguing. I think that's what's going to happen. It should be a pretty good idea, actually. I'm saying significant but limited strikes on infrastructure. And then a little starter pack of what you can look forward to. I'm serious, he says, you got to cut a deal now. I don't think that will do any good. I can see why you would try that. But I don't I don't see these people budging. I don't think they're going to budge. Right. Again, that's why I'd like to learn more about the IRGC and how they are likely to behave in several scenarios, including like a super crazy devastation of the infrastructure. As I've said many times, they get 25 percent or 40 percent of everything. So if they get a cut of the International Rebuilding Fund and further enrich themselves, those who are still breathing air, they might say, yeah, go ahead, bomb away. It is. So you're I don't know. You're assuming then that they're in charge as opposed to the Mullahs who are perfectly willing to just take it clear at the end and die. I think some of the IRGC are that hardcore too. But I don't know. There's a lot of mystery surrounding it like there's always been. But if the if the whoever's in the leadership, whether it's Mullahs or whoever it is, if they're willing to just die, they're never going to budge. They're never going to give an inch on anything. How do you what do you do with a situation like that? How do you negotiate with those people? Well, you can't you got to kill them. Well, it's going to be something this afternoon. Five o'clock West Coast time. We will see. Stay tuned. Armstrong and Getty. There was a comment meant to be, I guess, complimentary by a board member, but has certainly been determined not to be as a member of the school board. He is responsible for our children's health and welfare and safety and education. And the display he put on tells me that he should be nowhere around our children. School board meeting in Tennessee. School board member after a girl gets up to speak says, God, you're hot. Do you know that? Where do you go to school hat? What? Gracious. Wow. That's not a good look, Tennessee. Oh, boy. I'd say not. That's inappropriate. We'll get back to Iran and the war and the effects around the globe coming up in a little bit. Tucker Carlson predicts nuclear war out of this. Trump said he no longer talks to Tucker Carlson. Stay tuned. Yeah, there's so many things I'd like to get to today that have nothing to do with the war, including great analysis from one of our favorite students of the human mind about the whole conspiracy freak thing. Oh, I love that. The psychology of it. Speaking of conspiracy freaks, we have breaking yay news. Kanye West has been blocked from entering the UK where he was supposed to play at a music festival because of his past anti-Semitic remarks. You know how they got the whole speech thing there in the UK. Yeah. Isn't there a special dispensation for I'm pretty seriously mentally ill and I was off my meds. If Kanye came to me and said I was out of my mind, I hate my meds. I was off them. I said, all sorts of crazy crap. I don't have anything against the Jews. I would say, OK. Take that out of it, though. Somebody that says that sort of stuff and means it, not allowed to go into Great Britain. I have a lot of serious problems with Great Britain's laws having to do with offensive speech, quote unquote. They have gone way off the deep end. What do we do? I don't even know the answer to this question. Do we allow people in who say that sort of stuff because you don't have free speech? I mean, if we don't have to give you free speech if you said it somewhere else. Yeah, that's kind of controversial right now because various like pro-Palestinian activists like student visa people have been booted out of the country for being anti-American and inciting violence. All right. Marco Rubio, big on that. Like, you know, we don't have to keep you here. You say that sort of stuff. Yeah, yeah. It's an interesting topic for sure. A lot of subtleties there. Are we are going to get into next hour? Because I really want to talk about this, the whole AI music thing. Yeah, OK, great. Yeah, also want to get to a woman in California being prosecuted for registering her dog to vote and having the dog vote. The system that allows that isn't being prosecuted. She is for illustrating how corrupt the system is. And one of the most serious conservatives writing these days with a big piece saying, yes, voting fraud is real. It's seriously real. It's a significant problem. And he happens to be a conservative who can't stand Trump. What was the dog's politics? Liberal. Way out on the left paw. Definitely. Oh, no, I have no idea. I haven't asked it. Good boy, good boy. Bad, bad dog. I don't know. Dogs live off their owners. I mean, they're nice companions, but they don't work. I guess I'm liberal. Yeah, I feel like they're probably they want a lot of big safety net dogs can't get a job. All right, right. Thanks to their treats come from the government. Yes, your dog is a conservative. My dog is a staunch conservative. This is offensive and I don't like it. Wow, the stereotyping. I feel hot. Yeah, yeah. You got to pull yourself up by your little rain booties. Make it on your own. Oh, beautiful. So we'll get into all of those. You marry some bitch and have a bunch of kids you can't afford. That's your problem. Boy, well, fair beaches with their puppies. Put another litter. Right. Right. We've got more now or three. If you miss a podcast, Armstrong and Getty on demand. Armstrong and Getty. This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
