So I would say on the net, uh, the, the economic benefit, the productivity boom, um, the, the vast societal change for the positive from the internet has far outweighed some of these social indicators of too much social media use and other things that I think could also be, uh, there could be some intervention at the family and societal level on that as well that I don't think would call for any slowdown in any-- of any of those technologies, similarly to how I don't think there should be a call for a slowdown of AI based on, uh, broader societal concerns.
12:08
concerns.Uh, uh, excellent points.
12:11
Um, uh, I'll, I'll, I'll try to address them in turn, and then I have, uh, one big question for you, uh, if I could.
12:16
So let me, let, let, let me address them, uh, in reverse.
12:19
Uh, c- completely agree that there are things that families can do.
12:22
Uh, we have, we, we have two boys, uh, ourselves, and so we contend with this all the time.
12:27
Uh, you know, how much technology do we allow to intrude, uh, into their lives? Um, and so that's something that every parent faces, and, and, and just in the spirit of full disclosure, we are on the side of a lot less than most other parents.

But I would be curious to hear more about what you think on that front, how you think that that belief of, you know, the people who run Anthropic or the engineers behind Anthropic, their beliefs about their product, how that actually creates malicious intent within the model, and whether that is something that competition and the com-competitive environment in the US will not be able to address.

I mean, the professional sports, they're having their own identity crises, and some women, Wimbayama, is certainly a phenom.
5:26
Yeah, yeah.
5:27
Well, I don't think there's any question but that football, real football and baseball are going to remain atop the American sports pyramid pretty much forever.
5:37
And I've been very glad, actually, in the past two to three seasons to see Major League Baseball really come back in popularity and engagement.
5:44
And much to my surprise, I have to credit the pitch clock for a lot of that.
5:48
Setting that aside, there is this second tier of sports, NHL, NBA, being, I guess, at the top of the second.
5:56
But then you have these other sports, and this is not a disparagement of them at all, but one of them is Major League Soccer.

17:08
Well,
6:15
Let's start with Mexico.
6:15
Mexico.Mexico, as you note correctly, is, is the most difficult one for the United States, uh, you know, for, for obvious reasons.
6:22
It's the largest country by population in Latin America, uh, and also the one that borders on us.
6:27
Uh, so you can walk from, from my home state of Texas, uh, to Mexico and, and, uh, and, and that goes two ways.
6:33
Mexico is a difficult one, uh, for, for those reasons.
6:37
Uh, the, the, the current Mexican regime has a longstanding partnership with a variety of its cartels throughout the country, and what, uh, uh, now that now, now the previous president who served from 2018 to '24, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, was, was nakedly anti-American.
6:52
Uh, the current president, Claudia Sheinbaum, is, is much more savvy, much more canny.

17:46
But as you say, the major disasters are perhaps because of a kind of democratic utopianism...... rather than hard-nosed realpolitik?
7:09
Do you feel that what's happened today is a new beginning, a new beginning in many senses of the emergence, Joshua, of the United States as the true leader of the global superpower of the West and the liberal West? simply abandoned their core mission of supporting the United States and helping out a key ally in Israel?
7:33
I think the United States, and look, as an American, I'm biased, but I do think the United States, certainly in the past century, has been the indispensable nation for liberty around the world.
7:41
That has been true in generations past.
7:43
It's true now.
7:45
And I would encourage our European friends who ought to share in that mission to take a step back and reflect on what's happened today.
7:54
When you look at Macron, when you look at any of the European powers, all of this happened.
7:58
This peace has been achieved despite their efforts in contravention to what they urged the Israelis to do, in contravention of what they urged the Palestinians to do.
8:36
What about you?
17:42
Of course, that could be a very limited description.
17:44
Indeed it could, yeah.
17:46
Yeah, that's right, that's right.
17:47
No, but unfortunately, they really are cooperating and selling her and her regime as a genuine partner, which they're not.
17:53
First of all, the Mexican state is in partnership with its cartels.
17:57
There is a Mexican state cartel alliance.
17:59
It has existed for years, and what changed in 2018 with the arrival of the current Mexican regime under the Morena party is that it rose from becoming sort of an opportunistic partnership to one that really was essential to the advancement of this leftist Venezuela-style ideology that Morena is using to transform Mexican society.
19:32
(dramatic music) On a March 2025 Fox News op-ed, you wrote that the Mexican state, quote, "establishes Morena party cells throughout the United States and activates them when desired." What does that mean?
