So coming up this hour, there are people who online and otherwise our targeting insurance companies in California for abuse over dropping a bunch of homeowners. That is the wrong target, friends, the wrong target of your animosity. It is government policy, which we will explain. Also some of the more ridiculous and hilarious examples of Facebook's fact checking while they were in that field.

Of course you've probably heard that.

Of course you've probably heard that.

Recently, Mark Zuckerberg has announced they're not in that business anymore because he cares about free speech, all right. I think he may actually, but they are browbeaten out of doing that and hired a bunch of lofty, lefty jackasses through their quote unquote fact checking. But anyways, that is to come, so we occasionally do. I'd like to do more of them, but by Gully we work a lot very tired Armstrong and Getty extra Large podcasts where we do a long form interview, and again I would like to do more of those. But we did one with the Ian Bremmer, the founder and CEO of Your Asia Group, which does analysis of risks for corporations and governments around the world, and every year they put out their global risk list, the top ten risks and then a couple of super bonus ones, and we went through a good bit of that list. Now, if you would like to hear the entire interview, it's available as Armstrong, Getty extra Large, and Hanson just to save you the trouble, also included it in the subscription Armstrong and Getty on Demand, so you'll get it automatically. Downloaded anyway, So why don't we Michael will go with ninety two covers a fair amount of ground, and part of the reason I asked the question in the way I did is a couple of the risks that Ian and his folks cite have to do with uncertainty about Trump and the way he's going to serve as president, and sometimes the threats or promises he's been made.

So we'll just go from there.

So we'll just go from there.

Not only am I one of the great prognosticators of our time or any other Ian, I'm also willing to offer my services to go abroad and explain Trump's negotiating style, because.

I see on your list of risks several.

I see on your list of risks several.

Of them are related to Trump's governing style, whether the checks and balances of the American system will hold, whether our alliances will hold. And you know, I look back to his first term and he has said some outrageous things about NATO that bothered me. I don't particularly appreciate his negotiating style, but the threats to like disband NATO or let anybody attack him or whatever, I found wildly inappropriate. But the net result was a stronger, more responsible NATO in terms of self funding.

Absolutely, and when he said that Mexico was going to build a wall and pay for it, they paid for absolutely nothing on the border. But they did strengthen their own border security in the south, which led to far fewer illegal immigrants going through Mexico into the United States under the Trump administration.

Couldn't agree with you more.

That clip is supposed to be four minutes and thirty five seconds long.

That clip is supposed to be four minutes and thirty five seconds long.

That's disappointing. It went by quickly. Yeah, yeah, okay, the like to whisper in her ears and tell us what they.

Okay, we're talking about China a little bit next clip. You know, anybody who predicts the imminent downfall of the Chinese Communist Party as a fool, but they do have unbelievable headwinds, including demographics. How bearish are you on China and xesiin Ping in the medium for long term?

Okay, we're talking about China a little bit next clip. You know, anybody who predicts the imminent downfall of the Chinese Communist Party as a fool, but they do have unbelievable headwinds, including demographics. How bearish are you on China and xesiin Ping in the medium for long term?

Well, I mean in a sense.

Well, I mean in a sense.

The fact that Xijian Ping reached out to India, had a two hour plus summit, and and pulled back Chinese troops from their contested border shows that China knows they've got big headwinds and they don't want a big crisis with India.

They reached out to Japan and asked for a summit.

Usually it's the other way around, and they offered to start buying Japanese seafood with just a few months ago they said, you can't sell here because it's all radioactive because of Fukushaba.

I've seen them do a lot of this around the world now.

I've seen them do a lot of this around the world now.

Some of this is because they're worried about Trump and the uncertainty coming from the US that they don't think they can manage. But some of it is a recognition that they're in a bad position, and so frankly, it behooves them.

Do I think they're about to fall? No, But I mean they're demographics.

They're at what one point four billion people right now, and expectations for twenty one hundred, when you know you and I are going to be pretty pretty geezerly is that they're going to be down to five hundred million to.

Seven hundred and fifty million.

Seven hundred and fifty million.

So I mean a significant I mean the biggest contraction of a population that you would ever see in an economy outside of like war or famine. So it's peacetime in China, and they're just saying, we just don't want to have any kids, and there's nothing the Chinese government can do about it. This is not a five year a ten year problem. Their retirement age for men is fifty five. They can extend that for five or ten years. They're not very urbanized. They can move more people into cities, they can make agriculture more efficient, they can lean into AI. There's a lot of things they can do that can give them a ten year buffer, but they don't have a generational solution here.

So long term, I think they're in very big trouble.

Which is good news.

It is if they're you know, global dominating, expansionist lusts are abated for a while, it's good for everybody.

Yeah. I did ask Ian about AI because that was one of his risks a couple of years ago. And I asked him, you know, are they further ahead then you thought they would be, or further behind? And he said further ahead, which I thought was interesting. And we mentioned the Consumer Electronics Show unveiled the most recent that's going on right now in Las Vegas, unveiled the most recent. Uh, what term doo want I use? Because I don't want to prejudice the conversation. Lifelike companion robots. Companion robots, Yeah, and they tend to be women because of the way guys brains work, I guess.

Extremely attractive female forms.

Extremely attractive female forms.

Yeah, that look a lot like human beings, like like a really hot, like twenty five year old, is what this robot looks like. And I mentioned when I went to the Sphere in Las Vegas. This is a couple of years ago. I didn't see the most recent version. Now, they had a robot, like a human robot out there talking to people, and it just stood there and talked to people and had conversations with everybody. Where are you from? And the person would say, I'm from Minnesota, Oh, Minnesota, how do you like it there? It's awful cold? Which part of Minnesota? And they'd say say, oh, that it's not as bad there as it is up involvement. I mean, they'd have conversations and it was disturbing Henry. It weirded Henry my son out so much that he didn't he said, when we go back to the Sphere to the Eagles concert, we got to go around that. He said, I can't handle it. It keeps me up at night. It bothered him so much, the robot thingy. But anyway, that's a couple of years ago. The technology of it holding a conversation now it's you know, exponentially better. And they put it into this hot chick body that they've got on display at the cees down in alv Now. I don't, I honestly don't know where we're going as a species with this. Don't you think, I mean, honestly, God, not not far fetched sci fi anything. Don't you think, honest to God, we're just a couple of years away from a significant enough portion of the in cell population having one of these for a girlfriend. Yes, yeah, I think so.

I would like it not to be true, but it's heading in that direction in a big hurry.

I would like it not to be true, but it's heading in that direction in a big hurry.

I would say, combine on a conversation I had the other day, you know, get the podcast earlier. I won't tell the whole story, but a bunch of people telling a friend of mine. These were guys telling a friend of mine that they are really into the chat GPT girlfriend experience of just having somebody to talk to when they get home from work, and how you know, pleasing their voices, And they had the nice conversations they have and everything like that, they talk about their day and so I mean, if you're getting that from just a voice coming out of the computer, you combine it with this body and its ability to actually have sex with you. I don't know what percentage, Well, you tell me what percentage of guys do you think are susceptible to be in a relationship with a robot? Do you think it's a good tenth of one or more like twenty percent?

Honestly, if I had to guess, it'd be somewhere between those two figures. I don't know because I haven't fully experienced the thing, and I did not grow up with the experience of never having a girlfriend.

Honestly, if I had to guess, it'd be somewhere between those two figures. I don't know because I haven't fully experienced the thing, and I did not grow up with the experience of never having a girlfriend.

Right, I'm concerned it could easily be double digits. Ten percent of dudes have robots girl friends within five years?

Right, I'm concerned it could easily be double digits. Ten percent of dudes have robots girl friends within five years?

Yeah, I would agree. Wow, And it's on both ends of the scale. Not only you know, guys who lack the gumption or the social skills or are getting candy that fills their belly instead of the meal that is an actual human relationship. And also you know, angry radical women, young women. We've received more emails than I could count from guys saying dudes I agree with you on all of this stuff, but I try to date women and they're nuts and they're angry, and if you even express political moderation, they want nothing to do with you, a notion that is so foreign to both of our life experience way back in the day, the hazy days of the nineteen nineties, you know.

However, handsOn post a link to that New York Post article so people can see these pictures, and I'll tweet it out just so you can see what the current AI robots look like. And yeah, older gentlemen, lonely gentleman, your wife left you. It's you know, you're too busy and broke to find to get to have a real relationship.

I can see this having an appeal for a lot of people.

I can see this having an appeal for a lot of people.

And widows widowers, Oh, I could see that, you know. And in some cases I would think, you know, I was gonna say, that's okay, but it's just so sad because it's not a real human relationship. But I don't want to go too far down the world it is, because it's inunbelievably depressing, is it.

Are we jumping to a conclusion we shouldn't jump to that. It's said does it fulfill all.

Are we jumping to a conclusion we shouldn't jump to that. It's said does it fulfill all.

You don't think it'll become socially acceptable at some point where somebody comes up and says, this is my girlfriend and it's a robot, and you're forced to interact with the robot.

You don't think it'll become socially acceptable at some point where somebody comes up and says, this is my girlfriend and it's a robot, and you're forced to interact with the robot.

I ain't doing that, no, sir, going there. I ain't talking to your robot unless it was just like to check to see how you know far along AI technology is and how good it is it talking to me? But I ain't sitting there having a conversation with your hot robot girlfriend.

I ain't doing that, no, sir, going there. I ain't talking to your robot unless it was just like to check to see how you know far along AI technology is and how good it is it talking to me? But I ain't sitting there having a conversation with your hot robot girlfriend.

Not calling a man in a dress a woman, not calling a robot a human, Thank you very much. What bothered your son is? And I just became aware of this term the uncanny valley and going back to Rod Serling, they knew this or even before that, the silent movies of the nineteen twenties and thirties. The uncanny valley. It's the unsettling feeling you experienced when you encounter something that looks.

Huh yeah, we're more free, doubt by something that's almost human then something that's clearly not.

Huh yeah, we're more free, doubt by something that's almost human then something that's clearly not.

Wow, you're right, Michael, when it crosses the line that there's social pressure to treat the dude at the Christmas party with his robot girlfriend like he's got a relationship. Oh we've been you've got together for three years. Oh that's fantastic. Glad things are working up.

So as you can say, do you have devastations from blocks and blocks and then you have a million dollar homes all intact, rows and rows of them, and there's really no way to police this area effectively right.

So as you can say, do you have devastations from blocks and blocks and then you have a million dollar homes all intact, rows and rows of them, and there's really no way to police this area effectively right.

Now, Why are the penalties not just so high for looting that you would never want to do it? Is there a reason?

Now, Why are the penalties not just so high for looting that you would never want to do it? Is there a reason?

I guess a lack of agreement among the political class that that's appropriate looting? It back a man, Yeah, I would like it to be draconian. So one of the hell you like, troubling to the conscience.

I guess a lack of agreement among the political class that that's appropriate looting? It back a man, Yeah, I would like it to be draconian. So one of the hell you like, troubling to the conscience.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, pushes the uh pushes the you know, rights against extreme punishment, like clear up to the edge to make people stop. I mean, that's horrific. We got some more stuff coming up about the whole insurance situation, insurance companies dropping homeowners' policies right before the fire, if you have anything ever happened, and how that whole thing works, and now it's a policy decision in California and really needs to be understood. New York Times went big on that story today. Is it's interesting for everybody. But the other headline that's getting a fair amount of attention is the whole Trump sentencing thing in the Stormy Daniel's hush money trial. Like every word and phrase I use is yeah, dripping with spin or needs explanation. The main goal of the judge and the people pushing this whole thing was to be able to say, as I see the headline on CNN, it will be the first former felon to enter the White House as president. That was the goal, right, That's what they wanted to do. There is no penalty involved with this. It's a dischargement or whatever they call it, So no jail time, no fines, no nothing, there's just no penalty whatsoever. But he has officially got thirty four felonies so that people can say that, and I guess that makes them feel better other than the legal fee's spent.

As I predicted before. It's wild that that continued now. So it went to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court could have gotten involved, but for whatever reason they didn't. Five to four decision by the Ultramga out of control needs to be shut down extremists. Supreme Court, my poor decision to light Kavana. You will reap the whirlwind. You won't know what hit you.

Yeah, So anyway, so that's that. If you see that headline, it's nothing that nobody will ever remember it. No, it's of no significance to anybody, including Trump. Correct.

Yeah, it's amazing how much is made out of that, but you know, all things Trump.

Of course, one more thing I wanted to mention with Shane what I don't have time to say it. Okay, everybody should be aware of the realities of why the insurance companies have bailed on California.

Of course, one more thing I wanted to mention with Shane what I don't have time to say it. Okay, everybody should be aware of the realities of why the insurance companies have bailed on California.

Absolutely so, and any anger directed at the insurance companies is misplaced. I'm telling you, and I'm no slacky for insurance companies. There's one state in the Union that has a particular policy, and it's California.

No, I feel like I've been screwed by many an insurance company. I don't want to stand up with them, but we should all know the facts on this, so we'll stay tuned. Armstrong and Getty.

I can't kick David Muir enough, but he's not the topic of the segment. Just thought it was worth pointing out that we're no great fans of the big insurance companies. I mean, they're practices. We've all been there. You pay you in for years and years and years, than you've finally have a claim, they say, yeah, we're dropping you, or here's your check, get out.

We've all been there. You pay you in for years and years and years, than you've finally have a claim, they say, yeah, we're dropping you, or here's your check, get out.

Or it doesn't count in this circumstance because the wind came from the north, so we don't cover roofs and when it comes from the north or something right, there are various hygiens that we could criticize them for, but part of the reason they've become more or less customer friendly is because of their mounting losses. Now, I thought this was a very good and balanced opening from the Wall Street Journal editorial board. They point out the politicians are blaming each other for the losses in the horrific Los Angeles area wildfires, and the truth is mother nature can be merciless. We need to.

Sort out the stories about water shortages and what happened with the higher hydrants. But they point out it's not too soon to note that California's politicians have fueled a five alarm insurance market crisis that will hurt homeowners and taxpayers across the state once the fires have died out, and I would point out across the country too, for reasons I'll explain the second A five alarm crisis.

Are they aware that they use a fire related metaphor for the story? I think they probably are.

And they go into the heavy rain for a couple of years than the drought free year, which means heavy but dry vegetation, and the storms with the incredible winds, and that is absolutely a factor in what's happening. But there's a fair amount of anger being directed toward insurance companies for dropping quite a number of the homeowners whose homes just burnt down several weeks a few to several weeks ago, having warned the state that they were going to do that. Insurers had I'm jumping back now to the and that's driven a lot of people to the undercapitalized state insure of last resort, which is called fair of course, because everything has to have a sunny sounding acronym. But insurers had already scrapped hundreds of thousands of policies and limited coverage and wildfire prone areas. We know, that's why I don't have my cabin in the woods anymore. A Democrats, that's blame climate change, which has become an all purposes excuse for any disaster early failure. But the real insurance problem is that state regulators have barred insurers from charging premiums that fully reflect risks and costs.

California is the only state.

California is the only state.

That hair to four has not allowed insurers to incorporate the cost of reinsurance in premiums. Until this year, it also prohibited insurance. I could explain what reinsurance is. It's insurance for insurance companies in case of a cataclysmic loss. Part of their loss is taken on by these and these reinsurance companies anyway.

But here's the main point.

But here's the main point.

Until this year, California had also prohibited insurers from adjusting premiums by using the standard industry practice of catastrophe modeling to predict the property's future risk. Insurers could only assess premiums based on historical losses, no matter what has happened to constructions an inflation in the interim. You can't say, hey, look the price of a two by four is eighty percent more than it used to be, and that's that's a for instance, I don't have that in front of me. You cannot say that in only one state in the Union, California, as an insurance company.

And so as a result, it's crazy. You don't have to basically insane too, you have to be a genius being counter to understand that everything is so much more expensive. So when did this happen? When did they make that rule in California? Because obviously with inflation, the timing is particularly bad.

Yeah, I don't remember when that passed. Honestly, I could probably find out how much.

More expensive it is it is it to put a new roof on a house now versus twenty eighteen. Oh my god.

Well, and can you imagine in any setting, in a business setting, you know, sir, I think we ought to add on to the plant. Historically the square footage it will cost two hundred dollars. There's a square foot all right, let's do it. Ignoring the fact that it's now three hundred and fifty dollars a square foot. You'd be fired immediately. Hey, honey, I'm thinking of upgrading to a new F one fifty. Historically they cost forty three thousand dollars.

That would be an insane thing to do. It's like me going to the closet and grabbing the medium shirt. What do you think historically that would have fit? Yeah, oh, that one hit a little close to home. So getting back to the journal.

As the result, insurers are paying out a dollar nine in expenses and claims for every dollar they collect in premiums. This is financially unsustainable, which is many of why many have paired coverage in areas with high fire risk and expensive homes. State Farm dropped nearly seventy percent of policy holders in one Pacific Palisades neighborhood. And just to get to give you an idea of how well Gavin Newsom is running California, that fair government sponsored insure of last resort thing is for people who can't.

Its exposure has ballooned to four hundred and fifty eight billion dollars as of last September, from a much lower figure with six billion dollars exposure in Pacific Palisades alone, six billion dollars. It has seven hundred million dollars on hand to pay claims. They have six billion dollars in exposure. They have seven hundred million dollars to pay claims. That's because state regulators have required Fair to cover higher priced homes while rejecting its proposals for rate increases to account for rising risks for liabilities. Because the pandering politicians, including Gavin Newsom have found these these ways to have completely unrealistic regulations.

I think the latest number is the overall cost for the fires in LA. They expect to be ten billion dollars, most expensive, worst tragedy in LA history. I'm sure that number is going to go up. Well, be interesting to see how this pans out. But yeah, the point of this segment was you can't blame the insurance companies. You really can't.

Right, you don't have to love them, but you can't blame them for dropping people in California. By the way, speaking of Gavy, the California Globe reporting that having listened to an interview he did with NPR where he was explaining how we're carefully taking care of the forests. He talked about how many acres had been cleared and tended and all. He exaggerated the actual number by six hundred and ninety percent.

Wow. Yeah, he's a congenital liar. Kevin Newsom, we were on the question earlier of how do you run out of water when you're next to an ocean? Why can't you use salt water as a system, and they do in San Francisco to a great extent. We got a long text from somebody in the know when San Francisco about the way they do it. The system has been in place for years. It's a proven system. It can be done. It's kind of expensive and you got to you know, you got to put in the infrastructure. But in the Bay Area they've been doing it for a long time. So that's a reasonable question. Is to hey, specific palicides right by an ocean, why would we ever run out of water?

Avowed Marxist Karen Bass. The mayor of la has preferred to spend the money on bums and junkies and illegal immigrants. So there's no money for, for instance, the fire department, which has had its budget cut by almost eighteen million dollars. Yeah, coming up much more amusing and believia it is some particularly egregious examples of Facebook's fat checks. Well, they were in that business prior to the recent announcement.

Hoping State tute you say it's funnier than insurance liability talk. I don't know. I'll be the judge of that. Stay tuned. Just to straighten this out, Notre Dames beat Penn State, they will play the winner of Ohio State Texas for the college football Final. That's Ohio State's the eight of versus a five, and that was a seven versus a six. So good job and picking who are the four best teams to be in the playoffs.

Yeah, well over mine dead bunny. Well it happened anyway. If you don't get it, grab it later via podcast subscribed to Armstrong you get on demand. It's a trust me when I say it's really interesting. Mark Zuckerbridge just announced the other day that he's rediscovered his love of free speech and Facebook is going to get out of the fact checking business. A number of learned commentators have commented on this, including ourselves, good folks at the good folks at Breitbart, compiling a list of six absolutely despicable acts of censorship that Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook foisted upon the world. Run through those really quickly, then we'll get to the funny stuff. Number one, hiding the story on Hunter Biden's laptop from hell.

All right, I'll though all those current and former intelligence officials ought to be shouted out on the street for lying like they did two creating the leftist fact checker industry in the first place, Meta infamously deployed third party fact checkers to both Facebook and Instagram, putting users content visibility in the hands of people who flagg post based on their opinions rather than any facts. The vast majority of these fact checkers displayed extreme lefty bias, lying Zuckerberg's platforms to diminish the reach of stories often based on astenine or completely incorrect fact checks, including many many things that turned out to be very true. They dropped Donald Trump's engagement by forty five percent in twenty eighteen because he was a Russian stooge.

We believe the public has the right to the broadest possible access to political speech, even controversial speech. But we believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great. I believe in Trump until February twenty three.

They unpersoned regular people for misinformation. Shortly after banning Trump, Facebook turns its focus on to his followers, regular Facebook users. Zuckerberg's company vowed to ban anyone caught spreading content deemed misinformation, despite the social media giant and its army of opinionated leftist facts checkers struggling with the definition of that word. And then they killed the reach of political content just in the name of something or other because politics is too scary or controversial or something, and so they just quashed it in general, although again there was favoritism moving along SWI. The good folks at the Free Beacon pointed out that they were corrected several times by Zuckerberg's fact checkers as checkers. In one case, the ex meta leader FactCheck dot Org said, we falsely accused Joe Biden of having issues with a teleprompter. That was the quote because a White House press official said the octagenarians incoherent nonsense was intentional, so the fact that he had issues with the teleprompter was.

In another case, Alan Duke, who was the head of one of the fact checking organizations, a former CNN producer who's donated thousands of dollars to Democrats exclusively called our reporting on the Biden administration plans to fund crack pipes partially false because the administration backpedaled after we published our piece. At best, many of these fact checks offered an alternative opinion. At worst, they facilitated the spread of disinformation my government officials and aided their efforts to discredit and silence the handful of news outlets actually interested in holding them accountable. They will not be missed, and we hope they enjoy learning to code.

So you said earlier you think Mark Zuckerberg might be an actual free speech warrior. So you think that maybe he just was just a business decision. The federal government was making noises that they were going to make life hard for him if he did this, So he did that.
