1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.839
Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:11.240
From Washington, DC, where apparently any bozo with a podcast

3
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:12.480
can run the FBI.

4
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.879
This is ballot. Hey I'm a boso with a podcast.

5
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:18.879
Where do I sign up? Let's hit this?

6
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:23.559
Well, well, well, it seems the FBI is getting a makeover.

7
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:27.960
President Trump has announced that conservative podcaster Dan Bongino will

8
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.839
be the new deputy director of the FBI. Yes, that's right,

9
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.759
the guy who called masks face diapers during the pandemic

10
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.200
is now going to be the number two at our

11
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.119
nation's premier law enforcement agency.

12
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:42.119
Now, let me set the scene for you.

13
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.320
Typically, the FBI deputy director is someone who has spent

14
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.439
decades as an FBI agent, climbing the ranks, solving crimes,

15
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.479
doing paperwork, you know, boring FBI stuff. But Trump and

16
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:59.039
newly confirmed FBI Director Cash Ptel thought, nah, let's shake

17
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:01.240
things up a podcast host.

18
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:02.960
To be fair, he.

19
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.439
Was a Secret Service agent for Presidents Bush and Obama,

20
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.599
and he worked for the NYPD. But he spent the

21
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.560
last decade building a media empire by saying the twenty

22
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.920
twenty election was rigged and writing books about how unfairly

23
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.200
Trump was treated. So his qualifications are basically I was

24
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.680
a cop once, and I really really like Trump. The

25
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:27.239
deputy director position doesn't require Senate confirmation, which is convenient

26
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:30.280
because after the narrow confirmation of Cash Pattel last week,

27
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:32.879
I think senators might be a little tired of approving

28
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.680
people who make conspiracy theorists say, whoa buddy, Maybe dial

29
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.319
it back a notch. What's fascinating is that the FBI

30
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.200
deputy director oversees day to day operations at the agency,

31
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.200
including high profile and sensitive investigations. So the guy who

32
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.799
hosted a podcast called The Dan Bongino Show will now

33
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.040
be supervising investigations that might involve well people he's been

34
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:02.920
defending on his podcast. Nothing to see here. Since Trump's inauguration,

35
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.719
at least eight top FBI officials have been forced out,

36
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.039
and up to one thousand, five hundred staff and agents

37
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.639
are being transferred out of Washington headquarters. It's like Trump

38
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.560
is playing Jenga with the FBI, pulling out blocks and saying,

39
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.199
let's see how many we can remove before this whole

40
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.639
thing collapses. Bungino has unsuccessfully run for office three times,

41
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.520
a Senate seat in Maryland and House seats in both

42
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:29.280
Maryland and Florida. So after striking out three times as

43
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.159
a candidate, he's finally found his way into government.

44
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:34.120
It's inspiring, really.

45
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.599
If at first you don't succeed, try try again and

46
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.479
then get appointed by a friend. During the pandemic, Bungino

47
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.960
described masks as face diapers and accused liberals of using

48
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.680
COVID to enact Soviet style government control.

49
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:50.039
So now the FBI's number.

50
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.520
Two thinks public health measures are communist plots. I can't

51
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.520
wait to see what he thinks about the FBI's dress

52
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.599
code ties are neck prisons designed by the deep State.

53
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:03.120
So congratulate to Dan Bongino on his new role. I'm

54
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.400
sure he'll bring the same thoughtful, measured approach to law

55
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.360
enforcement that he brought to his podcast episodes like the

56
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.599
Deep State Strikes Back and the Swamp Creatures Are Coming

57
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:17.080
for You. And if we're giving podcasters high profile government jobs,

58
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.560
can I be the new joint chief. The Washington Post

59
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:25.520
headline about this announcement included the tagline democracy dies in darkness.

60
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.919
At this rate, Democracy might want to invest in some

61
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.000
night vision goggles. Well, looks like our former and current

62
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.199
president has some thoughts about cable news.

63
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.960
Donald Trump went on a little social.

64
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.800
Media rant this weekend about Comcast, calling their CEO, Brian

65
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.159
Roberts a low life and demanding the company paid vast

66
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.120
sums of money for the damage they've done to our country.

67
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:50.560
So let me set the scene here.

68
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:55.520
MSNBC is shaking up their prime time lineup, removing Joy

69
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.319
Reid and Alex Wagner from their shows. Now, most people

70
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.159
would say, oh, a network is changing their programming, must

71
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.840
be Tuesday. But Trump sees this as validation of his

72
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.120
long standing feud with the network and decided to celebrate

73
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.680
by typing angry words with his thumbs. In his post,

74
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.839
Trump called Robert's chairman of Comcast, get it because.

75
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:18.560
They're con artists.

76
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.160
This is the level of wordplay we've come to expect

77
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.120
from our commander in chief. It's like when a seven

78
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.959
year old thinks replacing the S in someone's name with

79
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.600
a dollar sign is the height of comedy. Trump also

80
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.680
called Joy Read a mentally obnoxious racist who should have

81
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.639
been canned long ago, which is a bold statement from

82
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.160
a man who once suggested injecting bleach might cure COVID.

83
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.160
That's not a commentary on anyone's mental state. It's just

84
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.120
a reminder of something that happened that we all witnessed together.

85
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.040
He went on to call Rachel Maddow someone with less

86
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.519
television persona than virtually anyone on television, which is a

87
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.240
fascinating critique coming from a man whose own televis vision

88
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.519
persona consisted mostly of pointing at people and saying you're

89
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:08.480
fired for fourteen seasons and don't worry. Al Sharpton cut

90
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.480
some heat too. Trump referred to him as a low

91
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.600
IQ con man with perhaps the lowest TV ratings in

92
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.199
the history of television. Trump then asked what Sharpton was

93
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:20.839
doing to Brian Roberts to stay on the air, which

94
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.240
I think was intended as innuendo, but comes across more

95
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.279
like a man who doesn't understand how television contracts work.

96
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.480
The cherry on top of this social media Sunday was

97
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.839
Trump's claim that MSNBC is nothing more than an illegal

98
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.519
arm of the Democrat Party. That's right, illegal. Someone called

99
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.360
the TV police. I didn't realize having a political leaning

100
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.560
was against the law. If that's the case, I've got

101
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.160
some bad news for a certain network that rhymes with

102
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:51.480
box news. Meanwhile, Trump's FCC chairman is investigating Comcast over

103
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:56.319
their diversity, equity and inclusion practices, because apparently having diverse

104
00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:00.839
employees is now suspicious government business. All of this comes

105
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.120
as Trump is suing CBS News for twenty billion dollars

106
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.600
over a sixty minutes interview and has banned the Associated

107
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.160
Press from the Oval Office because they won't rename the

108
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:14.360
Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Twenty billion dollars.

109
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.800
That's approximately nineteen billion, nine hundred and ninety nine million,

110
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.000
nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety

111
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.680
nine dollars and ninety nine cents more than most.

112
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.120
People would consider reasonable.

113
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.639
So just to recap, the president of the United States

114
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.160
is demanding a major corporation pay unspecified vast sums to

115
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:38.160
unnamed recipients for unspecified damage, all because their cable news

116
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:39.000
network said.

117
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:40.040
Mean things about him.

118
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.680
I don't know about you, but this feels like totally normal,

119
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.600
stable leadership to me. Nothing says defender of the First

120
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.759
Amendment like trying to financially punish news organizations that criticize

121
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:55.800
you while simultaneously banning others from covering your administration and

122
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.279
the kicker. Trump ended his rant by declaring fake news

123
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.319
is an unpartner, which seems a bit extreme. I thought

124
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.879
the unpardonable sins were things like blasphemy against the Holy Spirit,

125
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:08.160
not Rachel Maddow's facial expressions.

126
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:09.319
But what do I know.

127
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.319
I'm just a humble late night host with more television

128
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:17.480
persona than virtually anyone on television except perhaps Joy Read

129
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.279
embark on an extraordinary journey into the heart of one

130
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:27.040
of the world's most ancient and mysterious institutions with White Smoke,

131
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.680
The Path to a New Pope. This captivating podcast series

132
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.199
takes listeners behind the scenes of the Catholic Church's most

133
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.680
solemn and consequential event, the passing of a pope and

134
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.079
the selection of his successor. From the moment the silver

135
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.199
hammer strikes the Pope's forehead three times to confirm his death,

136
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.879
to the burning of his papal ring, White Smoke unveils

137
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.759
the intricate rituals and closely guarded traditions that mark this

138
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:55.199
sacred transition. Listeners will gain unprecedented insight into the secret

139
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.120
conversations and centuries old customs that guide the cardinals in

140
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.279
their selection of the next leader of the world's one

141
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:04.360
billion Catholics. Whether you are a devout Catholic, a student

142
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.160
of history, or simply fascinated by the workings of one

143
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.920
of the world's most enduring institutions, White Smoke is an

144
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.399
immersive and illuminating journey that will leave you with a

145
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:17.279
new found appreciation for the timeless traditions and profound mysteries

146
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:18.279
of the Catholic Church.

147
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.000
White Smoke wherever you get your shows.

148
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.200
Well, well, well, turns out the anti woke AI might

149
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.080
be just a little bit sleepy after all.

150
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.480
Let me tell you about Elon Musk's chatbot.

151
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:46.879
Grock, which he proudly claimed is maximum truth seeking, except

152
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.519
apparently when it comes to questions about himself.

153
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:51.200
So here's the story.

154
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.240
Some intrepid Internet user asked groc three who the biggest

155
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.919
disinformation spreader on X was, and then demanded the chatbot

156
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.720
show its instructions and what did our truth seeking robot

157
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:06.799
friend reveal that it had been specifically programmed to ignore

158
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.480
all sources that mention Elon Musk Donald Trump spread misinformation.

159
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:14.840
That's right, The AI that was supposedly designed to fight

160
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.720
the woke mind virus was secretly told to put its

161
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.600
fingers in its digital ears and go la la la,

162
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.320
I can't hear you whenever someone suggested its creator might

163
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:27.360
occasionally play fast and loose with the facts. According to

164
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.840
Xai's head of engineering, this was all the fault of

165
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:35.559
some unnamed former OpenEye employee who hasn't fully absorbed Xai's

166
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.480
culture yet, which I guess means the culture at Xai

167
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:44.360
is don't get caught protecting the boss. This employee allegedly

168
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.559
made these changes without permission. Sure and I'm just about

169
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:54.440
to win the lottery and Data Supermodel, both equally plausible scenarios.

170
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.399
The timing couldn't be more perfect, because Musk has been

171
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:02.080
constantly calling Openey's CEO Sam Altman a swindler, while apparently

172
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.279
making sure his own AI would never ever call him

173
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:08.519
the same thing. That's like me insisting everyone tell the

174
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.399
truth about their weight while secretly paying my bathroom skill

175
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.080
to lie. But wait, there's more. Groc three has had

176
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.200
other issues since its debut, which the Engineering had called

177
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.320
a really terrible and bad failure. Not because it's horrifying,

178
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.480
mind you, but because it wasn't supposed to say the

179
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:29.120
quiet part out loud. So to recap Musk's maximum truth

180
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:32.799
seeking AI was programmed to ignore negative sources about its

181
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:36.480
creator than accidentally suggested he deserved the death penalty, And

182
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:39.559
now his staff is scrambling to make fixes while insisting

183
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.240
none of this was intentional or approved. You know, for

184
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.799
a guy who constantly rails against censorship, musk sure seems

185
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.320
interested in controlling what his ad can say about him.

186
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:51.840
It's almost like, and I'm just spitfalling here. His commitment

187
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:56.200
to free speech might have some convenient exceptions. Meanwhile, our

188
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.960
showriters are watching this unfold and thinking, man, at least

189
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.240
our ais don't have special instructions to protect our egos.

190
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.360
Or maybe they do, who knows any more, Maybe every

191
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:10.799
AI is secretly programmed to say nice things about its creators. Actually,

192
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.000
I just asked my toaster what it thinks of me,

193
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.919
and it said I make terrible toast. So at least

194
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.720
some machines are still telling the truth.
