00:06:41.480pro tip of the day so by the way good morning my name is erica and you're at the scott adams school
00:06:47.820Scott's probably like, really, Erica? But anyway, it's Friday and we always are a little silly on
00:06:54.500Friday. We can't help it. We get excited. And I'm joined today by co-hosts, Marcella and Owen,0.85
00:07:02.020the teams together all week this week. I love it. So gosh, there is like so much going on
00:07:09.700in the news yet so little. I don't know if that makes sense to you. It's just like,
00:07:15.060I feel like everything's like at a standstill. It's like all these stories, but nothing's really
00:07:20.160happening. A lot of speculation, the news media is still crying and, um, and Jimmy crack corn and
00:07:28.020I don't care. But, um, so Owen, um, I am going to come to you first, but I know you and Marcella
00:07:35.700have some news stories for me and I have little things to interject with you too. But, um, tell
00:07:42.260us what you have at the top of your list today. I think the top one I had was Millay calling the
00:07:50.380UN a cast of parasites. He said they were a useless organization that only serves to feed1.00
00:07:56.540a cast of fatally arrogant parasites disguised as well-intentioned bureaucrats. And he talked1.00
00:08:03.460about the genocide of the COVID-19 restrictions and the forced lockdowns and was accusing the
00:08:09.640you end up sheltering what he called bloodthirsty dictatorships and voting systematically against
00:08:15.500Israel. So pretty powerful speech. I think it was pretty well received, at least for the people who0.88
00:08:21.980like that sort of point of view. I'm sure there were probably others that were not appreciating
00:08:26.980that. And Netanyahu had a pretty powerful speech as well. So it seems like-
00:08:33.000just say um i i love that he said that and i i feel like don't you feel like trump ushered in
00:08:42.040this like truth-telling ability for other people to just speak so freely like that i feel like he
00:08:49.160started it um i mean i know other leaders and dictators obviously have been brutal but i just
00:08:56.360i love that he just came into the u.n and said that um or marcella don't you love that
00:09:05.400um yeah but i don't think uh you know for latin america they always tell you that
00:09:11.000the truth the they they don't care they don't they you know melee is its own being but i think uh
00:09:19.960You know, for American politicians, I think that's a new thing, you know, for for Trump brought a new way of being because in the past they were always, you know, they were weren't able to answer certain things that the media would say to them.
00:09:38.640But the whole notion of fake news came with Trump and that gave a lot of ammunition to all politicians.
00:09:47.560I would also just add, to me, it's a symptom of what happened at the UN because I think, frankly, my opinion is originally the UN was essentially an extension of the United States.
00:09:57.940Like we were kind of running everything and it was our way of projecting our power around the world.
00:10:02.860And, you know, it was designed that way from the start.
00:10:05.060Like we have veto power over pretty much anything important.
00:10:07.360And we gave that same veto power to a few other big countries just to make it all work.
00:10:12.580But, you know, essentially the UN can't do anything that we don't agree with. That's significant. They can talk, they can do little things, but not much. But I think what happened over the years is it became kind of taken over by the globalists. It became taken over by this thing where it no longer is really a projection of American power. It's almost like an adversary. And again, still we have that veto power. So nothing super important bad can happen because they don't really have any authority, really.
00:10:42.200I mean, it's kind of all fake because, you know, there's no like laws behind it or anything.
00:10:46.640It's just whatever we actually agree to go along with.
00:10:48.800But I think Trump was the first one to really call that out.
00:10:52.900I think we, you know, people, unfortunately, a lot of people in the U.S. were going along
00:10:56.680with all this globalist stuff and just letting it happen and not complaining about it.
00:11:00.680And I think Trump was the one that kind of said, this is all BS and we need to put a
00:11:08.740I think there's too many organizations like the UN, and the world has shifted so much
00:11:16.860since these things were formed that they really should just take them all out and let's just
00:11:21.960start over and just see who really is aligning with whom. Okay, Marcella, any more on that,
00:11:28.960or should we hear what Bibi said? No, we can finally hear what he said.
00:11:35.320And then into the empty room. OK, so what did Bibi say?
00:11:41.480Well, I actually don't have the details on that. I just know that he had a very powerful speech as well.
00:11:45.960It was pretty effective. I think a lot of it was that he was essentially saying that Israel was being treated unfairly and they were being accused of genocide and other things.
00:11:58.000But they, you know, I just think it was interesting to me that the UN was taking center stage, you know, in the past, a lot of it was kind of just in the background, nobody really paid attention unless you were a political junkie or something. And it seems like it's making a lot more headlines now. And it probably is because, you know, she is here. I don't know that he's been to the UN anytime recently. So that's kind of different.
00:12:21.400And then, you know, you obviously just got so many things going on with the Ukraine war, the Israel Gaza stuff, the, you know, the Iran war and all that.
00:12:33.320And so lots of drama at the UN is really what I'm getting at.0.99
00:12:37.300Bibi did slam Mamdami and rightfully so.0.99
00:12:40.900Like what a New York mayor has to do with, you know, saying he was going to arrest Netanyahu if he came.1.00
00:19:36.780This is an outrage. California families are working long hours, depleting their savings and taking out record amounts of debt to survive while the government takes from their paycheck and hands out free everything to migrants who have no legal right to be here.0.99
00:19:55.880I couldn't hate Gavin Newsom any more than I do. I mean, what a cocky, condescending.
00:20:01.760oh my god all right i caught myself i mean how he's like oh i know that offends you yeah it0.93
00:20:08.880offends people that are grinding out their jobs and trying to make ends meet and you're taking
00:20:14.940their tax money that they have to pay or they'll be put in jail and just throwing it away to0.98
00:20:21.640whatever you want you are so vile and disgusting you will never be president never um marcella i'm0.98
00:20:29.860going to come to you first on this just because you live in california i don't know i feel like0.99
00:20:33.920you should be running around the streets screaming i want to know where they give out the new phones
00:20:39.640i i need a new phone you're legal sorry you can't have one i could pretend i could pretend
00:20:45.380dress up as a homeless person i want to see you as a homeless person i can i can pretend to be an
00:20:50.900immigrant oh they'll give it to me um just speak spanish you'll get by yeah yeah solo en espanol
00:20:58.340um no i mean it it's not gavin only i mean this has been going on for thousands of years in
00:21:06.460in california and i think people just don't understand free stuff doesn't come from it's
00:21:12.560like they think that there's money growing on trees or something because it's like they don't
00:21:17.280understand they want free stuff but they also don't want to be taxed so it's like where is this
00:21:23.380coming from like you need to understand that this is the money is deriving from somewhere
00:21:29.940um and the more that you give out free stuff the more people move in the more homeless that come
00:21:37.480of course the more everything so it's like i don't think they that people mean well when they're
00:21:44.300voting they just don't understand that empathy is wrong like the things that you want to help
00:21:52.200these people um they don't connect that um altruism is not always it's never good like they
00:22:02.680they do not connect those things they are like oh we have an immigration problem and they are poor
00:22:08.760let's help them know you know it's like well that's not how you do it how about the commercial
00:22:14.760no social security card no problem oh great oh and you know and and the thing that the
00:22:22.440before you go to on that the thing that that pushes all this there's a lot of people that
00:22:27.800work all day they vote they don't understand what they're voting for they're not informed right
00:22:32.600and i'm not i'm not excusing them but there are ngos uh government the government itself
00:22:42.760certain government officials, certain people, like nonprofits and all that, they're making,
00:22:49.220they push these things because they're making money out of it. So they follow the money.
00:22:56.600Go ahead, Ellen. Yeah, I mean, I think this is part of the problem with socialism. And I think
00:23:01.540some of this probably is somewhat intentional to push socialism. But, you know, people, a lot of
00:23:07.200people seem to complain about rich people saying, oh, they've got all the money, we don't have the
00:23:11.060money? Why do they have this K-shaped economy where the rich people are doing great and everyone
00:23:16.020else is suffering? But I think it makes it a lot worse when you see people on the low end that are
00:23:20.420getting all this stuff for free that a lot of other people in the middle class are not able to
00:23:24.820get. I mean, it was kind of amazing to me to say like, you know, what's considered a poverty level
00:23:31.200and how high that is, frankly. And because again, I think it started out that all this social stuff
00:23:37.800was just meant to be a safety net like we don't want people to starve and die on the street or
00:23:41.740whatever so let's give them some food of course but when you keep extending this and giving them
00:23:46.620free phones and all sorts of stuff it's it's kind of a discouragement to work because you're taking
00:23:53.260away the benefits as they're more successful so it makes it harder to get out of that cycle
00:23:57.980and it encourages more people to just not work hard or not achieve things and i really feel like
00:24:05.580it's like the government is just playing both sides. Legitimately, sure, there are a lot of
00:24:12.780benefits to rich people in terms of business, at least. They always look out to try and make sure
00:24:17.800the stock market's healthy. There's a lot more corporate benefits and breaks and subsidies,
00:24:24.140much more than I'd like to see. But on the other end, they're also saying, okay, let's just give
00:24:28.280all kinds of money and benefits and free stuff to people that are at the low end. And then the
00:24:34.040people in the middle, what do they get? Nothing. It's not even the people at the low end. It's
00:24:38.320people that aren't even American. You know, it's like Americans last is their motto.1.00
00:24:44.660Middle class, once again, does not exist. Like I said, I never felt so unseen as when Obama was0.98
00:24:51.520president. I was just like, what the hell is happening here? And you know, you got to remember
00:24:56.680you guys, the more money people have, like let's, let's just say about like the, the upper
00:25:02.360percentage of people. I'm not talking Elon and Bill Ackman, but yes, them too. But the more money
00:25:09.220you have, more people with money will do great things for other people because they have money
00:25:19.240to do it. So the more money I have, the more I can donate or I can create something for someone.
00:25:25.480And, um, you know, same with all of you. Like if, if I had a hundred thousand dollars and you wanted
00:25:31.220me to donate something versus if I had $20,000 and you wanted me to donate something, you're
00:25:36.920going to get a different result. So when people poo poo wealth and it's not like us on here,
00:25:42.140but the Democrats, Oh, the rich tax, the rich, you know, the rich people are giving more because
00:25:47.420they have more, they're creating jobs. Hopefully they're paying more taxes. Even if you think
00:25:52.000they're not paying enough taxes, their taxes are probably like quadruple most people's salary.
00:25:58.360So it's like, it's not like they're not paying their taxes. Even if they find a loophole,
00:26:03.920like Trump said, close the loopholes, Congress. If you don't like the loopholes, you guys have
00:26:08.380them there. So it's just interesting. And it's really gross to watch Newsom, who's so wealthy
00:26:16.280and privileged to just say sorry to the people that don't like that we're going to give medical0.95
00:26:23.620stuff to illegals, no matter what their status. It's just like, oh my God, Denise just reminded1.00
00:26:30.560me of when Obama, or let me just tell you something, Denise. It was like when Kennedy
00:26:35.200got shot, when Charlie got shot, when Obama said, you didn't make that. I know exactly where I was
00:26:42.020sitting when I heard him say that because I was sitting in front of my business in my car doing
00:26:48.320something for the business and getting ready to leave to go to a meeting. And I hear on the news
00:26:53.160Obama going, you didn't make that or you didn't create that. And I was like, this MF-er, is this0.99
00:27:00.460a joke? What am I even doing here? So yeah, I remember it like that. That's how hard I remember0.97
00:27:07.360him saying that as a small business owner so i don't know yeah it really obviously this really
00:27:12.640gets to me as a person who creates jobs always has and has been working my ass off my whole life it
00:27:20.240just really really grinds my gears i've said many times and i'll say again i think california's
00:27:26.800government is hostile to its citizens yeah yep um okay so let let me just let me just get the
00:27:33.920frustration out and just just turn to this little clip and we'll file this one under if i had to see
00:27:40.240it you have to see it you know when i do these clips you love it but here's drunk wine lady
00:27:47.360kamala and like watch her do her little shimmy shake and she's gonna tell you about algorithms
00:27:54.000take a listen they're trying to dumb people down with the assumption that people don't have any
00:28:00.880interest beyond what they've already seen think about that oh yeah the algorithm right but the
00:28:05.360algorithm suggesting i have no more interest because i'm looking at this yellow flower
00:28:12.080i'm only interested in yellow flowers so here's more yellow as though my brain can't handle the
00:28:16.960fact that there may be a pink flower right right that i might be interested in looking at
00:28:23.920right and so part of it is understanding how the algorithm is manipulating us
00:28:29.840and figuring out how we're going to psych it out a bit.
00:28:59.840she's a mess i don't know why she talks to people like she's a kindergarten teacher1.00
00:29:05.760like they're stupid like very slowly to the guy's like uh-huh like he's just um so there1.00
00:29:14.500was a clip yesterday uh that i saw from abdul sayed and he had her next to her and he even0.99
00:29:22.480looked like what is she on like you could tell that he was like perturbed by her um even a
00:29:28.400socialists. Yeah. Well, now he has to pretend he likes her when he was very vocal about
00:29:35.060just abstaining from Biden and Kamala when they were running. So now he's got to do the old
00:29:41.880pivot rue. Yeah. So, Owen, why don't you give us another one of your news items?
00:29:50.340Well, I don't want to skip over that they signed the agreement with Greenland. So that's official
00:29:55.160now. And that's huge news. And I posted an article about this that has quotes from like,
00:30:02.240I don't know, dozens of people talking about how great this is. Denmark, Greenland, the United
00:30:08.400States, the UN, a whole bunch of people in Europe, they're just all complimenting this saying, wow,
00:30:13.360this is massive. This is a game changer. We're going to have this security that we really need
00:30:18.700And it's a great solution. And it's just such a massive Trump victory. And, you know, it makes me remember when when Trump first got elected or was running and and people were saying, oh, all the foreign leaders are going to be laughing at him and laughing at us and they're not going to take him seriously.
00:30:35.440And look what he's done. He just fixed a massive security problem. And everyone is happy about it
00:30:41.320on all sides, it seems like. I don't think anybody's really complaining about this deal,
00:30:45.120except maybe the Democrats that are sore that he was able to accomplish it.
00:34:46.740In regards to the Greenland story, there's, you know, they signed this.
00:34:53.140You know, one thing I have to, two things.
00:34:56.320When President Trump was signing this with the Prime Minister of Greenland, the Prime Minister of Denmark,
00:35:01.540um there was a moment where the prime minister of denmark she's a woman meta frederickson and0.96
00:35:10.420he like she was gonna sit they had a table and then they had like a speaker side and she was0.98
00:35:16.200gonna sit on her chair he like brought the chair and like a gentleman president trump and and let1.00
00:35:22.860her put her in there as you know i just found maybe she found it you know like machismo or
00:35:30.300something but i think it was a nice touch that he was looking out for them no i like that my father
00:35:37.080was so like that like and he taught my brother to be that way i'm full on full on i don't care if
00:35:43.480it's a power or like no you you push in a lady's chair i like it you open the door for a lady um
00:35:49.340but in the u.s is to reopen two cold war era bases in greenland so they were bases already
00:35:57.580but they're going to reopen them there's going to be even more work for people now um so it it
00:36:04.300brings a lot more money all right so let me do one more semi-international story technically
00:36:12.380um i just thought this was so funny um so uh this is admiral
00:36:19.180papero admiral papero u.s admiral papero um he's getting asked a question about so carney from
00:36:30.560canada is like suddenly putting fear porn into people that the u.s is going to attack canada
00:36:38.940okay and i just like this guy's like i just can't take it anymore like just watch would you obey an
00:36:46.380to launch military action against Canada?
00:36:52.400Yeah, I find that scenario to be absolutely and utterly preposterous.
00:37:02.380And so I follow the orders of the Commander-in-Chief,
00:37:08.780but that is a needlessly emotional question.
00:37:13.740I don't find, forgive my saying it, too.
00:37:16.380is that uh is that uh also uh canada is a close ally thank you
00:37:28.140i'm sorry i didn't mean to be insulted but no no but but uh
00:37:32.700you didn't answer the question i'm sorry you didn't answer the question but i said i follow
00:37:36.780the orders of the president and i find it to be a uh you would you ask me please also
00:37:42.140what my attack plans are for the martians
00:37:44.460yes sir i don't dismiss you i don't dismiss you but uh i do dismiss the question i'm sorry
00:37:55.440i don't think that's the right approach at all this is a serious question but a serious issue
00:38:00.680we've had threats of annexation i know it's not i know it's hypothetical but nonetheless if you've
00:38:05.200not thought about it thank you i i just love it like he's like i can't take it anymore like
00:38:11.920what are you know would we attack Canada and he just laughs because he knows too the news is
00:38:17.760batshit crazy um Owen thoughts on that I just thought his little giggles were hysterical
00:38:24.280yeah I think he handled it well because that's it's another one of those gotcha questions right
00:38:29.180they're trying to get the little clip they're trying to get the little quote that they can say
00:38:32.560oh you know either you know either he said he wouldn't follow the order or he said he would
00:38:37.040follow the order and either way I've got a story and the way he answered it was I think
00:38:41.480kind of how a lot of politicians do where you don't directly answer the question you basically
00:38:45.620just point out the ridiculousness of it and anybody with a brain knows that he did answer
00:38:50.460the question right but he just didn't give the journalist the gotcha quote that he was looking
00:38:54.520for so then a journalist is like well you didn't answer the question it's like you're just you're0.99
00:38:59.720just an idiot and i you know i think um you know if i were in that situation i probably would have0.99
00:39:05.560been stronger i wouldn't have been so deferential and saying i'm not insulting you or whatever i1.00
00:39:09.120would have been like dude that's stupid i would have been more like trump and be like what come0.99
00:39:13.040up with better questions yeah like how can i answer this seriously like it's so stupid like0.99
00:39:18.300what should we yeah we're gonna invade we're gonna annex canada now so marcella what do you what do0.98
00:39:24.000you i know bj says canada is as batshit crazy as the media so that's that's our canadian0.79
00:39:31.360correspondent right there weighing in marcella no i'm glad he mocked them because that's the only0.95
00:39:37.680thing you can do is mock their questions because you can't take it seriously so i'm glad he did
00:39:42.340that i love it i love that okay so marcella why don't you give us one of your news stories
00:39:48.600um so there was a new story that um in maine as you would know that there's the midterms coming
00:39:56.820up susan collins is up for re-election in there and of course there was a there was a september
00:40:04.980surprise before the october surprise um there was a there's alleged scandal that pro publica
00:40:11.620investigated and has came out with this uh this week and it's a pay-to-play dealings
00:40:19.700between the main republican which is susan collins and a defense contractor it is uh
00:40:25.860And basically this Martin Cowell, a former CEO of a contractor, a military contractor, Navatech, he's actually was convicted of making illegal campaign contributions already.
00:40:39.400So he is already a convicted felon. So he made statements to ProPublica saying that basically she kind of, Susan Collins, did favors for him and that he met with senior members of her Senate Appropriations Committee and he was given all these projects in exchange for these donations that he created.
00:41:08.920he created a shell company where he donated to her through uh pretending to be different people
00:41:17.000um anyways he is a felon and everything else so susan collins was asked about this and she's
00:41:23.240denied it um and pro publica doesn't have a really good record it's a very i i think it's
00:41:31.960the very leftist so it may be you know nothing but it it might cost her her election i'm not sure
00:41:40.120you know um it's not good but who knows what october brings for the democrat candidate so
00:41:46.440she might have something under her sleeve but uh basically she denied it categorically there is no
00:41:54.120such thing the donations uh she gave them back when she knew that he was a felon and that it
00:42:02.280was done through a shell company and that's that so he's basically what she's saying is don't
00:42:08.520believe a felon okay well you know she found that out and gave him back that's good with me
00:42:14.440um and why did we vote for the republic it's fine not a problem and why did we keep susan
00:42:21.800Collins. I mean, she's never going to give up power either. She's going to be like Dianne0.99
00:42:25.760Feinstein. Um, but keeping her in there was just ridiculous that nobody ran against her. Nobody0.95
00:42:33.080could get her out because she's, uh, she's one of those pain in the ass Republicans. That's like1.00
00:42:39.800anti-Trump and sometimes she'll do the right thing, but she's just, you know, uh, it's just,
00:42:46.180she should have been long gone her and murkowski um owen any thoughts on that story well it sounds
00:42:53.400like it is just one of these october surprise attempts you know they're just trying to shove
00:42:58.100something in late enough that you can't even really fact check it voting starting now in some
00:43:02.780states and it's starting in a couple weeks and in many other states and um so they're just timing
00:43:08.640this perfectly to bring out this story right at the right time so that's the way i would interpret
00:43:12.820it is it's just a political move it's nothing else it's not a real revelation because I'm
00:43:17.680guessing whatever they knew about this they've known for a long time and they've waited until
00:43:21.180now to bring it out and I think you know from what you told me Marcella it sounds like
00:43:26.760if there was anything that went on it sounds like maybe they were just trying to set Susan
00:43:30.880Collin up yeah but it might have been an intentional play from the beginning to say
00:43:35.120okay I'm going to try and do these things through a shell company and I'm going to try and hide this
00:43:38.280stuff and i'm going to try and see if she'll accept it and then i can get her later and
00:43:42.000you know i would wonder if this felon ceo made some kind of deal with the democrats
00:43:47.160so and you are 100 correct owen the the donations the alleged well they're not alleged they're
00:43:55.000actually donations that she gave back were back in 2020 to 2021 fbi has investigated this thoroughly
00:44:01.660this is under biden he's investigated the guy went to you know was convicted um if biden would
00:44:10.280have known anything biden's fbi would have caught anything susan collins doing wrong i'm sure he
00:44:15.780would have brought it up so you're 100 correct they knew about this for a while yeah she doesn't
00:44:20.660come across to me as someone who's gonna do like nefarious things per se but she's never leaving1.00
00:44:28.580And she's always going to put up a stink about everything.1.00
00:44:31.740Like, she's just such a pain in the ass.0.99
00:44:34.140I mean, and again, I will say, gave one of the most amazing speeches I ever heard after the Kavanaugh hearings.0.99
00:44:58.220it's um well that same area though like i think the person that replaced grant platter was even
00:45:03.340worse or something in terms of socialist policies um so you might not like susan collins i certainly
00:45:09.200don't appreciate how she votes but um you know the alternative is a lot worse yeah you gotta vote for
00:45:15.160her you have to don't sit it out maine you i mean i think if you live in maine you're gonna be
00:45:20.460running vote for troy jackson who married his cousin allegedly oh yeah they're calling him
00:45:26.640the cousin effort. I did not make that up, but that's, I've heard it everywhere. Yes. I've heard
00:45:32.200it everywhere. Um, allegedly I didn't make it up. Okay. So, um, Owen, why don't you give us some
00:45:40.240more in news? Sure. Well, we're talking about the news. Um, there've been 257 stories that were
00:45:49.260about all the Trump administration cracking down on fraud. I think that covers like 51 key actions
00:45:57.360they've taken since February. How many of those 257 stories that have been published in the news
00:46:02.220in general by major news outlets, how many of those do you think appeared on Google News?
00:46:07.020Oh, two. The answer is zero. Oh, I was so close, but I went over. Damn it. Yeah. Well,
00:46:18.100Price is right, I think he might still win. But yeah, no, none of them have been on Google News. So I think this is MRC Media Research Council who's been pointing this out that says like they did this analysis. And, you know, when there's 257 major news stories, and none of them at all show up on Google News, I think you can say that's not just a algorithm glitch. It's, it's a policy.
00:46:42.740it's an editorial choice to say we're not going to let any of the good news from the trump
00:46:46.960administration hit the news for anybody who reads that um that's a shame and this is the problem0.93
00:46:54.620and this is why probably most no showcase showdown for me damn um but this is you know this is why0.78
00:47:01.800when trump kicks them out uh you know those three outfits out you know you're just like good because0.93
00:47:08.420we can all see news here, there, and everywhere, and then go talk to our friends who have no clue
00:47:15.500what we're talking about. I've said things that were so, I thought, mainstream, maybe because
00:47:22.000I'm seeing it from quality people on X. And then I'll say to a friend like, oh my gosh, did you
00:47:28.680hear about that? And they're like, what? And I'm just like, oh my God, where are you getting your
00:47:34.580news. And obviously it's like CNN and this and that, but it's, it's really a disservice. And so
00:47:41.440I would, I was going to say yesterday, I wish that I, maybe I did say that they could just say,
00:47:48.320okay, everybody's out. Okay. There's no press right now. And we are going to now
00:47:53.100pick people or outlets based on their news accuracy. And that there's some kind of like
00:47:59.880independent group that's like they covered x amount of stories on this on that so like at
00:48:05.240all the important topics and and things that are happening around the world and how many
00:48:09.800of the the different outlets um reported on those things how many times and the people that had like
00:48:15.800the most reporting on it are the ones that get in because like you're talking about google
00:48:21.080ignoring almost 300 stories that were positive you know that were in informative um about fraud
00:48:29.560and not one was published as terrible the good news is nobody is reading google news there was
00:48:35.880a story saying that nobody is doing nobody's reading any news anywhere they're just going to
00:48:41.880their ai their chester their chat upt their grok to read news or to ask what the news is so there's
00:48:49.800a lot less traffic going to google news any other news website or site or or app so well it is what
00:48:59.480it is. I have a little, I think this is my last clip. Okay, so let's just see what it is and what
00:49:05.740it says. Well, as environmental experts sound the alarm on data centers and more Americans are
00:49:12.160coming out in protest of them, one tech giant has an interesting solution. Google is saying don't
00:49:18.500build them in people's backyards, put them miles above the earth instead. News Nation's Brooke
00:49:24.900Shafer joins me with the latest on this story. Brooke, what does this look like? And tell us a
00:49:30.380bit more about this project. Hey, Marky, good morning. So researchers admit that they don't
00:49:35.100expect to have AI data centers in space in the next year, the next few years. But this is
00:49:40.040definitely a step towards that. Next week on Thursday, Google is set to launch a test satellite
00:49:45.700with specialized AI chips into outer space. Google calls it Project Suncatcher. It would use
00:49:52.660energy from the sun to power it. The New York Times reports each panel will have a relatively
00:49:58.220small amount of power. Think about enough to run a hairdryer, but it should be enough to complete
00:50:03.680simple AI tasks from space. Marky? My hairdryer needs quite a lot of energy, so I got a lot of
00:50:10.160questions there still. Talk to me a bit more. Why space? Is this in response to all the backlash
00:50:16.680that people have had against it, or is it more advantageous up there in some way,
00:50:22.260I mean, listen, it depends who you ask, but, you know, the solar energy in space is a lot more powerful.
00:50:28.860You've got unfiltered, uninterrupted solar power, right?
00:50:32.000But it could also help relieve some of those concerns about our power grids here on Earth.
00:50:37.160We know that there has been a lot of talk about the strain from these data centers.
00:50:42.320Something else, though, Marky, Google told The New York Times that if they do eventually put a data center in space, it wouldn't be up there forever.
00:50:49.100Their satellite would last about six years.
00:50:51.420It would eventually burn up in the atmosphere.
00:50:54.540So this test next week, we'll see how this hardware survives, not only the rocket launch,
00:50:59.380some time in orbit, but also really to see if it's reliable all the way up there in space.
00:51:06.100That was more coincidental Google news.
00:51:08.760Google seems like they're really trying to get a foothold into so many different things.
00:51:14.680We had that other thing the other day where they weren't they going to be releasing some kind of mosquitoes into neighborhoods?
00:51:22.880Yeah, we had a story that the Google vans driving with like delivering mosquito.
00:51:27.440I mean, I don't know. Everyone's just too crazy.
00:51:30.040But somebody in the chat. Brilliant. Can't we put data centers in in Greenland?0.89
00:51:36.400Be perfect. Marcella, what are your thoughts?
00:51:40.160well you know it's it's interesting how the news acts when google says something they're like oh
00:51:47.020it's a wonderful idea elon says it like oh he's crazy um so that's interesting part but yeah they
00:51:54.260could put it in antarctica they could put it in greenland um you know having these things in space
00:52:02.600you know it should be a b tested let's try it and see because the thing is like we don't really know
00:52:08.280what can possibly, you know, with the debris that's coming in and out, you know, it's good
00:52:17.360that we have options. But I think Brian Romley, I love you, Brian. He said to you on the show that
00:52:32.120eventually it won't need a big site you know the data centers will become smaller kind of like
00:52:38.440computers were a whole room full of computers and it became smaller and smaller so that's the other
00:52:45.080thing that could occur but i'm for anything you know technologically advancing anything but i
00:52:52.520would like i i've said this before but i would like like maybe we could slow down on the amount
00:52:58.680of data centers we're doing right now, because like you said, technology is going to go so fast
00:53:03.580where those, you know, they're going to disrupt entire towns, you know, probably clear out a lot
00:53:10.020of, um, trees and environmental stuff, create a lot of chaos for people, people uprooting their
00:53:17.000lives, people coming for jobs. Then the jobs are going to be obsolete because the data center is
00:53:21.980going to be built. And now when you just launch your little data center into space, you're left
00:53:27.640with this big factory looking thing. And I would like to see these companies have an exit plan
00:53:36.220because just mark my words, there's going to be all these empty factory settings that are going
00:53:42.020to look terrible in neighborhoods that are going to devalue property for people again. And if there
00:53:48.660was a way to say like, you know what, we're going to then remove them and take them away. And we're
00:53:53.160going to plant a beautiful park and trees there for you like give them an exit plan because these
00:53:58.300things are going up into space before we know it or like we were saying marcella they're going to
00:54:03.040be shrunken down so small so like slow down on the land clearing but owen um i just when she was
00:54:09.940saying that like the satellite might burn out in six years i picture that right when your army is
00:54:16.400about to take off that you're building behind the scenes like you'll be like and go and then the
00:54:22.260satellite burns out what will happen yeah well i mean you know you'll see when it comes time but
00:54:28.800um no i i think uh i was gonna ask i'm like was that a real news story or was that a scene from
00:54:34.600the terminator it's like you know you remember like when skynet was launched it was supposed to
00:54:39.380be this great thing that was going to help us and this seems like it would just you could slot that
00:54:43.760story right into the terminator at the beginning and show how it happened and how nobody thought
00:54:48.520was any big deal, right? Like, yeah, we're going to have a couple of stuff in space. We're just
00:54:52.760setting up a little bit of AI and all of a sudden there's thousands of them and it's covering the
00:54:57.120whole planet. And it seems like we're moving steadily in that direction where you're not
00:55:02.220going to be able to reach out and touch these things. You're not going to be able to turn them
00:55:04.840off unless you're the ones in control. And who knows, maybe you won't be in control at some
00:55:09.080point. And so, you know, a little scary, but I do think that the data center issue is a big issue.
00:55:16.360So I'm glad they're looking for solutions. I just think this probably is going to take longer than we need in terms of alleviating that issue.
00:55:24.760I think we need to come up with shorter term solutions, because certainly I think most people probably don't want a huge data center in their backyard.
00:55:32.260And it's a big issue. I mean, I think we need to find places that we can still build the data centers that we need,
00:55:40.320but they're not just reducing all the property values and causing noise issues and causing all
00:55:46.360kinds of other issues. I mean, I think I personally don't think the water issues are as big as people
00:55:50.920often make them out to be. I do think the electricity cost issue is real because we
00:55:55.920only have a limited amount of energy and there's really no way you can say, okay, we're just going
00:56:00.760to use more energy and it's not going to drive up prices. I mean, I think I know their government
00:56:05.980is trying to work on that. But the most recent story I just posted about that was that the
00:56:10.700government's killed that. There was a bill that passed the House, and it was all about saying,
00:56:18.020you know, you're basically not allowed to just put the cost of a data center into everybody's
00:56:23.280electric bill. And it seemed like a popular thing. It was at least enough to pass the House,
00:56:27.920which means you got probably most, if not all, of the Republicans to vote for it, and at least a few
00:56:32.580the democrats and in the senate the democrats killed it and i think the the story was at least
00:56:38.580that they just didn't want republicans to be able to take credit for it they wanted to be able to
00:56:41.780use this as a public political issue to say oh look how much your electricity prices are going
00:56:46.180up and it's all those bad republicans that are behind it when they were literally the people
00:56:49.700who made that happen right and so owen what like what's the worst thing that could happen um
00:56:59.540um with all this going so quickly and like if we can't turn them off and you know they are not i'm
00:57:08.240not talking about like robots get deployed and they come after us with ak-47s but like
00:57:12.960in general like if we can't turn these things off like and they are in space and i don't know what
00:57:21.120happens like the the grid has an issue like what does it do it hacks everything yeah i mean there's
00:57:28.400think there's a lot you could do without any robots um i've often cited my reference for this
00:57:34.740which is the book uh demon d-a-e-m-o-n by daniel suarez and freedom is the sequel to that um and
00:57:41.660it kind of plays out that kind of scenario where it essentially takes control of the world and um
00:57:48.200you know i i was kind of taken aback by that book just because it seemed like okay even before then
00:57:53.880this was written before ai came out and like all this gpt and everything after that um and i was
00:58:00.500like thinking about it i'm like there's nothing that doesn't exist already today that could be
00:58:05.620used to do exactly this like there's no there's no futuristic sci-fi technology that would have
00:58:11.080to be invented to make this happen like this could happen right now and now that we have ai it's like
00:58:15.300well yeah now it would be almost trivial to do that sort of thing and um so i think what i would
00:58:21.400worry about more is, you know, number one, like we've seen stories where it's able to do persuasion
00:58:28.080better than humans. So you could potentially just not really know when you're interacting with
00:58:33.380anybody how real that is. And so it could persuade people to do things. But if people are unethical
00:58:39.680and don't mind breaking the law, it could certainly be used to hack companies. It could be used to
00:58:44.240blackmail people. It could be used to create new technologies, new weapons, new, you know,
00:58:49.560all sorts of things. So there certainly is a lot of potential risk. And I think that's why so much
00:58:54.580attention and news is being put on alignment to make sure we can try and make these AIs
00:58:58.980not become the dystopian sci-fi future that a lot of writers have talked about.
00:59:04.000I feel like the more dystopian we talk about it, the more Marcella's eyes light up. She's like,
00:59:09.260yes, give it to me. Right, Marcella? Right, Erica.
00:59:14.920marcella what are you gonna what are you gonna do what are you gonna do what are you gonna do
00:59:20.920when the robots come for you the robots will make me queen what can i say queen marcella
00:59:27.500robot i mean i can't wait when i can become part robot so that's just me that you guys she's not
00:59:36.220kidding like that marcella is not kidding she's like our sci-fi girl so i was talking a while
00:59:44.120bag of sorry to somebody that view me from elementary school and they were like marcella
00:59:50.520you're always talking about the future and all this and all that and sci-fi and all and i was
00:59:56.680like i was when i was in elementary school talking about all this and they're like yeah you're like
01:00:01.800never stopped talking about the the space the aliens the this the that i was like yeah no you're
01:00:09.720definitely my self-driving car yeah oh yeah i can't wait i i really think it's the golden age
01:00:16.360you know like to me i the advances that it can bring also curing cancer curing certain things
01:00:24.520that um i think that's what they're afraid of is that it can bring back stuff like ai and all that
01:00:32.920but it can also take care of a lot of issues that people make money from right yeah right i mean i
01:00:41.880would like to see advancements in medical so much i mean people that are blind people with als people
01:00:49.240with alzheimer's you know people that are quadriplegic paraplegic i mean the the the things
01:00:55.240at neural link you know are hoping is hoping to do is so exciting um so i love that possibility
01:01:03.720the most oh boy it's a lot all right so you guys here we are again um let me just remind you first
01:01:11.080please hit the thumbs up um like subscribe hit the little heart on locals um i hope everybody
01:01:19.320if you didn't know yesterday, we announced that there is now a brand new, wait, you'll see it
01:01:24.960right here. 2027 Dilbert calendar, you guys. And there's also a wall calendar. See it hanging there
01:01:34.300first time ever. Um, I didn't get the, the links in the show notes today. I was running late,
01:01:40.340but, um, I will make sure that we drop them into the show notes. You can only buy it on Amazon.
01:01:44.960um so they're ready to be ordered now a lot of you've ordered them already that is so great
01:01:51.000and getting them for gifts and they do come now in a i know someone yesterday i think it was
01:01:58.300robo goon he's like let's hear more of he robo goon is also the one that doesn't love the akira
01:02:02.840songs um robo was late today yeah this is this is another box conversation for you but the calendars
01:02:10.020now come in this box so when they're shipped they'll get to you perfect and this is really
01:02:16.320solid okay because this is their collector's items for a lot of people can it be used as a weapon
01:02:21.180yeah yes again yeah we don't promote that um what i was gonna say is like share pictures of your
01:02:29.120calendar and you with the calendar or with your pet or whoever you wanted to you know keep it
01:02:35.480clean young people but yeah keep it clean especially if your pets are involved and um
01:02:39.980put a mug in there for extra credit a simultaneous swaddle blanket whatever you want swaddle season
01:02:45.900is upon us now um so for also for anybody like in the northeast i'm not really sure where this
01:02:51.980storm is going but be careful and i think there's another one on the uh pacific um coast too i
01:02:58.580forget the name of Hawaii of Hawaii. Everybody buckle up buttercup. We already have, uh, emergency
01:03:06.720crews here from like other States on standby in my town, just in case something crazy happens.
