Trevor Highlights Arizona's Ultra-MAGA Governor Candidate Kari Lake | Mira Murati & Ralph Macchio

McDonald's legend is saying goodbye. We expose the truth behind recycling. And do you want to know what Trump in a dress looks like? Well, stay tunes are find out, So let's do these people. Let's jup straight into today's headlines. Right before we get into the big story, let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world, starting with some fashion news. Added As has officially ended its partnership with Kanye West off the public outcast, or

there is news anti Semitic remarks. But good news, good news. You can still get a pair of Yeasys. You just have to take a normal pair of sneakers and microwave them for thirty minutes. In Environmental News and You studied by Green Piece, USA has declared plastic recycling as a failed concept, saying that only five percent of plastic waste was actually recycled last year. Yeah, and I can't wait to tell this to those people who would getting mad at me from not putting my plastic in the recycling

And you didn't unscrew a thing. It didn't actually, yeah, this is why I didn't do it. I mean I didn't know that at the time. I was just being lazy. But this is why I did it. For the future. But you realize what the solution is here, right? We need to stop using single use plastic. We just need to stop using it a lot of people. It needs to be banned from the top. No more, nore plastic water bottles. We all do it. I do it, you'd

we all do it no more. We need to be drinking out of materials that are easier to reuse, like glass or tin, or the skulls of our enemies. Our ancestors knew what they were doing. I have first bring me the skull of Jehosa fact, unless my my garfield is the goldfield McLean. No, then bring me the skull of Jehosa hearts and in fast food news, McDonald's has announced that they once again bringing back the mac rib, but this time they claim it could be the last

time ever, which is shocking to me. I never thought people who eat the mac rib would out lost in the mac rib. Wow, you learned something every day. All right, let's turn to the big news of the day. It's about the mid term elections. You know that all important day in November where you vote for a senator or a congressman and then a bunch of positions you're not even really sure are real. But this November, this November, there's one governor's race that could change things, not just

for their state, but for everyone. And I'm talking about Arizona. It's the state for people who like Texas but wish you had more scorpions and old people. Right now, in Arizona, Republican Carry Lake is in a neck and neck race against Democrat Katie Hobbs, and if Lake wins, it could change the course of American democracy itself. So let's get

to know her better. In our latest installments of Fringe Watching, meets Carry Lake, candidate for Arizona governor and boss who's gonna send you back to Starbucks until you learn the difference between a flat white and allat tell you moron. All the newcomers to mega politics, Carry Lake is making the biggest waves. She defeated a mainstream Republican in the primaries.

She's endorsed by Donald Trump himself, right, and she insists on saying Merry Christmas, even in July, and every time she opens her mouth, every single time she speaks, you

can see why the Trump crowd loves her. As governor, I will issue a declaration and invasion finished President Trump's wall, blow up the cartel's drug tunnels and surveillance drones, and deploy the Arizona National Guard to stop illegals from entering between anti American history that's being taught inappropriate sex education and the racist critical race theory, or as I like to refer to it, all woke curriculum. It is teaching our children hatred. It's time to take a sledge hammer

to the mainstream media's lies and propaganda. During Pride Month, they tweeted they kicked God out of schools and welcomed the drag queens. They took down our flank and replaced it with the rainbow. Katie Hobbs thinks there are different genders. Why don't you go out and try to milk a ball and tell me how that goes. GOP strategists say she's taking Trump's message and morphing it into her own. You can call me Trump in address any day. No, no, why didn't she say that? Now I'm picturing a Trump

in address. I didn't want that image in my head. I can see it now. The balls are just dangling in the breeze. They looked like two tiny mandarins. Uh oh, and each one has a comb over. Why did she say that? Why? But yeah, as you can see, Carrie Lake is full on megarific. She hates illegal immigrants, drag queens, and the mainstream media. I mean, did you see how she just smashed the ship out of those TVs, which, for some reason, all from thirty years ago already? Why

are why are those TVs are old? What is her whole campaign just an excuse to clean out her garage? Big government? It's just like these. There's lawnmower that I no longer need. Here Also, for the record, if you disagree with what you see on one channel. You don't have to sledge hammer the whole TV. You can just change the channel to something different. We have that technology now.

It's the future. Now. If you've only been following her for this election, you might think she's your standard right wing Republican. You know Maga, this hang, Mike Pence, that normal stuff. But what makes Carry lake story fascinating is not who she is, but who she used to be. Carry Lake used to be known in Arizona as a charismatic newscaster. He's a lion, hear him roar, a staple on Phoenix TVs for more than two decades. Just over

a decade ago, she was an Obama donor. Her friends described her as liberal, and yet you saw her shipped slowly and gradual over the last decade. In several of her friends would say she found Trump to be funny and defended his craftness. She began spreading internet conspiracy theories you can take the hydro hydroxychlora quinn as a preventative. Although Lake has criticized drag queens, she was friends with a popular local drag queen for twenty years and often

went to his drag shows. Yeah believe it or not. Carry Lake went from being a popular local newscast to hating the media. She was personal friends with a drag queen, and now she says that there were dangerous to children. Plus she was a donut to Barack Obama's campaign Adonna, and now she rolls with the guy who thinks Obama isn't even American. Like I've heard of people being open to change, but this is this is almost not the

same person. Like I wouldn't be sure if we found out that the real Carry Lake is locked up in a basement somewhere while this maga alien pretends to be her, because because this is a bigger transformation than the drag queens that she suddenly hates, which, by the way, it's particularly shitty. It's already horrible to turn on any friend, but betraying the one who taught you how to get

your contouring on point that is unforgivable. And you know, over the past few years, over the past few years, this seems to have happened to a lot of people,

Like everywhere, everyone has a story about this. They used to be normal, living a chilled life, but then they clicked on the wrong Facebook post and they got sucked in by a few YouTube videos, and the next thing you know, they believe the care Bears are actually a democratic sex cult that's going to penetrate your children with rainbows and and and While she sounds just like Trump on most issues, there's one thing carry Lake has in common with Trump that is especially dangerous. And I'm not

talking about a friendship bracelet with Kim Jong. No, no, no, I'm talking about her refusal to take an election. L anybody who was involved in that corrupt, shady, shoddy election of lock them up, no more stolen election. We have this illegitimate president Biden. We will no longer accept rigged elections. Who's with me on that? You've said that you think Trump won Arizona? Do you still believe that? I believe Biden is the president just like o J is innocent.

The system is corrupt in Arizona. The Republican candidate for governor is refusing to say whether she'll accept the results of the upcoming election if she loses. Will you accept the results of your election in November. I'm going to win the election, and I will accept that result. If you lose, Will you accept that I'm gonna win the election, and I will accept that result. I'm gonna win the election, and I will accept that results. I'm gonna win the

election election, and I will accept that results. You realize, thanks to Trump, every Republican running for office now is just like a winy little kid who refuses to lose a board game. All Right. They used to be like, we are the Party of Personal Responsibility, and it was like, well, it looks like you you lost the election. Do you take responsibility for that? It's not my fault. It was stolen.

I'm your governor. And by the way, by the way, it's ridiculous to compare Trump's election lost to o J's murders, right, I mean, for one thing, o J had a much better legal team, and also that was the system doing its thing. But maybe maybe you think carry Lake's election denials don't concern you. You know, maybe you're thinking, hey, I don't live in Arizona, travel the only issue that

affects me there is whether they teach stage. But you'd be wrong, because you see, Arizona isn't just where your aunt gets all her turquoise jewelry. No, it's also a key swing states that helped push Joe Biden over the top in and if Carrie Lake becomes governor, she could have the final say over who wins it. And it doesn't sound like she's going to be shy about getting the result that she wants. In the last twenty four hours,

you said election was stolen. Would you have certified Arizona's results? Hell? No? Would you be willing to put the country into position potentially of a constitutional crisis by not certifying Arizona's results if you're a governor that come down? I think? Let me ask you, Van, would you certify a crooked, corrupt election? Would you certify a crooked corrupt election just to make peace? Yes? No,

that's not how I operate. You know, things aren't looking good when the future of your democracy is being decided in the home depot parking lots. But just think about it. Think about what carry Lake is saying. She's saying that if the election in is stolen for Biden the same way the last election was stolen for Biden, then she's not going to approve the results, and that would be chaos. I could throw America into a constitutional crisis like it's

never seen before. Who knows, maybe even another civil war. Which is bullshit. Think about it. Some local newscasts that gets way into too into Trump fan fiction, and now I've got to grow out mutton chops. I mean, can I pull it off? Yeah, but it's gonna be for the right reasons. And I know you might be saying all relaxed. Trump tried to do a cool last time and it didn't work. Yeah. The only reason it didn't work is because they were various Republicans in key positions

who didn't go along with it. But if those people get replaced by people like carry Lake, it's a whole different story, because you see, you don't need to storm the capitol when your friends have the keys. All right, that's it for the headlines. But before we go, let's check it on the traffic without very old right with Junior everybody. Yea, yeah, I'm looking at it right now. Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. But like free beer, free beer all over the freeway, just at that all ramp.

Just it's free bear. Yeah, take the truck, get as much of it's bud light. But we'll still drinking ship. If not, we're flipping. Yeah that we can make a lot of money. Hey, let me red, Hey, what's going on? Man? Are you a traffic It looks like you're. Yeah, you're telling your friends to go and get beer from a truck that well, no, to rescue the bear. The beer need to be rescued. I was listening to you know, I was still listening with your talking about me. You're

talking about the car and Karen Lake. Yeah no, no, no no card carried not Karen. She still got a caring haircut. It's still still all right. Let's go into the traffic. I'm gonna get to the trapper. Also, the McRib, the mcgrib. You said, the mcgrib is gone this there's a last ride. Cancel the McRib. I don't, I don't. I don't think what did the McRib do did it didn't say something about Jewish people or something that I thought the mcgribb. The McRib is an ally. The McRib has been an

ally for years and years. We all know why McDonald's canceled the snack rob We know what the snack rap said that made perfect No, I don't know what did the snack raps. I'm not gonna repeat that on television. Also, you can't cancel the McRib. The McRib it's about recycling. The McRib is friendly. It's echo, echo echo, it's good for the environment. The mcgrib, they were, mcgrib is recycling. Did you know every McRib this year it's just an unsold mcgrib from last year. That's how they do to

the grib. Always guess how even when they get riding, when the mcgrib, when the mcgrib season and they put him in storage in the warehouse in Indiana like Christmas decoration, they just put up in the attic. No, I don't want to think of that as the mcgrib man. Look, I don't know how how what your relationship is with seasonal food. But but the mcgrib come around every year,

and that's joy. That's joy. The mcgrib, the mcgre get up with McRib is the mcgrib is that uncle that show up once a year and you have a good ass time with that uncle. The uncle teach you how to fish, you literally sitting this lap behind the wheel so you can blow in that tube so it's car starting teach you about cocaine. This is a good uncle. I can teach you all the rocks. And then he just disappears and you miss him. But but you know, deep down in your life is probably better off without him.

You won't do the traffic. If anything, You know what McDonald's need to get rid of. They need to get rid of all that. Damn that damn shamrocks. That's what they need to get rid of. Why are we gonna get shape? Damn? Who's it? Looked like some sewage? It is sipping on sewage. They're not. They're getting rid of Max.

I just don't think it's right. Man. If you want to get rid of something and get rid of all the mother mystery meats, you're talking about the mcgrib, or you get rid of the mother mystery meat beyond meat, beyond what did it beyond? Oh? It was an impossible burger. If it's impossible, then how to eat? How to eat the burger? If it's impossible, that's stupid. I don't know beyond neat. I don't know where impossible burger come from. But I know where did mcgrib come from? The rib.

I know that half the time the sauce do have to work anyway in the McRib, that it could be a dish bunge. Hell, I don't know. You want some traffic though, right, Yeah, yeah, because it's gone. It's gone now, Roy, So yeah, that's let's do the traffic. Look, I'm gonna be real with you, bro, I'm not worried about this. I'm not worried about that. I'm is Nor'm gonna stay positive. I'm gonna stay positive because you know, all the greats take a break, then they come back. All the greats

take a break, they come back. Jay Z took a break to time, came back. Jordan took a break for time, came back. Jesus left came back. So the mcgrib is up there with the greats. The mcgrib better come back. In fact, let me just talk to mc I can't talk to you. I talk to McDonald's right and McDonald's and talked to Ronald. Ronald, how you doing, Ronald? Is me? Roy Wood, junior customer the month McDonald's Birmingham and five

points West. Look, if you dare as an organization to certify the cancelation of the McRib, I will not accept those results. I'm gonna get a group of people together and we're gonna travel and we're gonna march down the McDonald's headquarters. We're going to McDonald's the first week in January to start to get off with the band. You went me on that man, you want to get with We're gonna store on the McDonald's office March in January. That sounds from that's a familiar road. Don't know this.

This is a whole brand new plan. We go hang Grimmace look and I know he ain't got no lit but I'm gonna figure something out. Man, you come in with I am not coming. I think we should cut this off. Let's just cut this off. What I'm talking about the media. As soon as you start talking about something, the media shocked mode to take the roll. Just try to let up. Just fine, we're gonna take a frick breaking out that we're gonna be talking about how AI

is gonna change off forever. It's not talking about t J show. Over over the past few months, you've probably seen the Internet has been a buzz with original arts or realistic images that are completely generated by AI. So now things that only exist in your imagination, like a banana hitchhiking on the side of the road, or or a Knicks player holding a trophy, you can just type

it in and a few seconds later there it is. Anyway, we wanted to find out more about this technology, which is why my first guest is the chief technology officer of open Ai, the company behind Dali, to the artificial intelligence system that can generate images from text. Please welcome Miramarati, Mirramuratti, Welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you for having me. UM. So many people have seen the images that Dally creates. Many people may even think they understand it. But but

let's let's get into it. Like, how doesn't AI create an image because it's not caught being the image. It's not, you know, taking from something else. It is creating an image from nothing. How is it doing this? Exactly? It's it's an original image never seen before. And UM, you know, we have been making images since the beginning of time, and we simply took a great deal of these images and we fed them into this AI system. UM, and it learned this relationship between the description of the image

and the image itself. UM. It learned these patterns and eventually it was generating images that were original. They were not copies of what it had seen before. UM. And basically, the way that it learns the magic is just understanding the patterns and analyzing the patterns between a lot of information, a lot of training data that we have fed into this system. There are people who are terrified about this.

I mean, for instance, there was an art competition and the winner in the art competition you a version of this kind of software. Whether it was Dally or not, I don't remember, but they used a version of this kind of software to create an art piece that won the competition. Artists were lived, you know, they were like, well,

this is not art. It was created but and not to said no, the same way you use a brush, I use a computer and that's how I designed this in in creating AI, are you constantly grappling with how it will affect people's jobs and what people even consider a job. Yeah, that's that's a great question. It's um. You know, the technology that we're building has such a huge effect on society, but also the society can and should shape it. And there are a ton of questions

that we're wrestling with every day. Um. With with the technologies that we have today, like GPD three and DALLY. UM, we see them as tool, so an extension of our creativity or our writing abilities. It's a tool and you know there isn't anything particularly new about having human helper um. You know, even the ancient Greeks had this concept of human helpers. You know that when you give something, uh, you know, infinite powers of knowledge or strength or someone, Um,

maybe you had to be wary of the vulnerabilities. And so these concepts of extending the human abilities and also being aware of the vulnerabilities are timeless and um in a sense, we're continuing this conversation by building AI technologist today. Um. Well it might it might be frightening because some people go, oh, the world is going to end because of this technology, But in the meantime it's very fun. I'm not gonna lie. Um No, it's because because it's like you know, Daly

for instance, doesn't just create an image from text. You know, you you've you've also gotten to the point now where as a company, you've designed it so that it can imagine what an image would be. So for instance, there's that there's that famous image. You know, it's it's the girl with the pearl earring, and it's a it's a famous image, right. But what Dally can do is you've got the famous image and then Dally can expand that that's all of the use everything you've seen, they never existed.

So day is like, well, this is what I think it would look like if there was more to this image. It can it can assume, it can create, it can it can inspire? Yeah, it can inspire, and it makes this beautiful, sometimes touching, sometimes funny images, and it's really just an extension of your imagination. There isn't even a chemist or the boundaries of paper are not there anymore.

How do you safeguard then? You know, someone might look at this technology and go, well, then you know, you could type in a politician was caught doing something here, and now I've got the image. You know, you you've got and now all the politicians that's not that's not me. It was made by that fake program. We we can very quickly find ourselves in a world where nothing is real and everything that's real isn't and we question it. How do you prevent or can you even prevent that completely? Yeah?

You know its information and societal impact of our technologies. These are very important and difficult questions, and um, I think it's very important to be able to bring the public along, bring these technologies in the public consciousness. But in a way that's responsible and safe, and that's why we have chosen to make dally available, but with certain guard rails and with certain constraints, because we do want people to understand what AI is capable of, and we

want people in various fields to think about what it means. UM. But right now, you know, we don't feel very comfortable around the mitigations um on on misinformation, and so we do have some guard rails. For example, we do not allow generation of public figures. So we will go in the data set and we will eliminate if you type something in you can't pull up, it can't create a politician for you. It won't be a picture of that person.

So so that's that's the first step at the training of the model itself, just looking at the data and auditing it, making interventions in the data sets to avoid certain outcomes. And then later in the deployment stage, we will look at filters, applying filters so that when you put in a prompt it won't generate things that contain violence or hate um and make it more in line with our content policy. Wow, so so let me ask

you this. Then you don't obviously part of your team has to think about the ethical ramifications of the technology that you're creating. Do your team also then think about the greater meaning of of work or life or the purpose that humans have because you know, most of us define ourselves by what we do, i e. Our jobs. As AI slowly takes away what people's jobs are, will find the growing class of people who don't have that

same purpose anymore. Do you then also have to think about that and wonder like, what does it mean to be human if it's not my job? And can you tell me what that is? You know, we we have philosophers and ethicist that open Aye, And but I really think these are big societal questions that UM, you know, shouldn't even be in the hands of technologists alone. We're certainly thinking about them. And uh, I, you know, the tools that we see today, they're not the tools that

are automating certain aspects of our jobs. That really UM tools extending our capabilities are inherent abilities and making them far better. UM. But it could be that in for our future, you know, we have these systems that UM can automate a lot of a lot of different jobs. I do think that, as with other revolutions, that we've we've we've gone through. There will be new jobs and some jobs will be low. Some jobs will will will be new, and there will be some retraining required as well.

But I'm optimistic. It's it's it's interesting. It's scary because change always is. But you know, as as long as we have blessed you, as long as we have UM, as long as we have Koala's writing bicycles, I think UM, I think we had in the right direction. Thank you so much for joining me on the show. I appreciate un because when we come back to the Karate Kid himself, Ralph Maceo re joining me right, yeah, you don't want to MESSI thank you very much. Welcome back to day show.

My next guest tonight is an actor and producer, you know from films like The Karate Kid, My Cousin Vinnie, and the hit Netflix series Cobra Kai. He's here to talk about his memoir Waxing on The Karate Kid and Me, which is available now. Please welcome Ralph Macco the Karate Kid himself. How are you, I'm right, Welcome to the Dinner Show. Thank you, thanks for having me. Great to see everyone here. You are you are somebody who has

defined a generation. You are somebody who now is in the next phase of defining a new generation on streaming on Netflix. Your face became synonymous with a move. You've got that on the book, and you wrote a story that I'm gonna tell you is one of the more honest accounts of anybody's life. I would love to know why you chose to go into the depth that you went into, because you could have you could have kept it safe, but you you tell everything. You know, it's

very specific. I walked in the shoes of this character that that has been so impactful and so inspirational, aspirational. UM wish for filling for decades. Um. You know, I was the lucky guy that got the part, but I so I wanted to be honest about what that journey has been. UM. It's never gone away for me. It's always been a part of me. UM. The fans give

so much back. UM for the thirty eight years. Yes, I said it out loud, but UM, but there's such a it's such a two way street of inspiration and now at the Cobra Kai show exploding the way it

has and and opening up for the next generation. I mean I have twelve year old kids that know who Mr Miyaki is, right, you know, you think of this this legendaractor, and you go, he was always Mr mia And yet you talk about how when Pat came in for the audition, everyone before he auditioned, everyone was like, I don't know if this guy will well, they didn't want him for some of the studio and the producer and want him for the role because they were looking

more like to Shire Ramafune, some of these Kira Kawasawa, the seventh Samurai writers and and um and so Pat was and he was Arnold from Happy Days for me as well. I was part of my was Tuesday Nights. I mean Arnold, you know, so I was. You know, we all kind of questioned the depth and breadth of of his his chops he came in there. We I can only explain it as soulful magic, which is what

I titled his chapter. And it was instantaneous. It was a give and take, um a great deal and goes to the writing, but it was elevated by the two guys. They were meant to play those parts. And that's what I love about how you told the stories that I can't imagine another one. I can't imagine Mr Miyagi being like this buff. What made him so special was he he was surprised a human Yoda exactly. That's exactly what

it is, exactly a form you. You're also really vulnerable in the book, which which I appreci sheet because, as you said, many people looked at your life and went, man, this guy is lucky. And in many ways you were. You were the karate Kid. It was a massive blockbuster. It was all over the world. And then because of that, your career was essentially done. You talk about how you couldn't get another job because people said, well, you're the karate kid, you can't be anybody else. It started to

had I had two things working for and against me. One, I was associated with a role that was, you know, famous for being an iconic character right away. And two I decided to age very slowly. Thank you very much, Thank you for than before you actually do so, so now I wasn't able to graduate sort of out of it and um, and then I had missed opportunities because

I was locked into a three picture contract. So that made it when there were certain other projects I wanted to to to be involved with I couldn't you know what. The thing that I've been able to do is, and I write to this in the book, I've always kept one foot in and one foot out of it, and therein lies for me the balance. There you go, that's a nagasm, but it is. There are lessons in life from that film that that I use in my own life and and share with people. So it's with readers.

It's about how to navigate through that and keep it, keep your focus, and uh and so and stuff came back around. Always through those dry times, I kept myself creative. I jumped back to writing screenplays, shooting films, doing guest

spots here and there. And then somehow the universe has me on Netflix on a big TV show, to be successful TV show, people loving you, a whole, new generations loving you, and and and can I just say, if I don't know who's working in in like ad agencies for like anti aging queens and all these other if they do not design a line around you and they call it wax on, wax off, they're wasting their Money's you were the face of it. Congratulations on everything you,

thank you, thank you for everything we did. Fall about what's on. It's available now. It's a fascinating but right again. I we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back after this. Thank you so much. I'll talk tonight, but before we go, Before we go, Before we go, I just wanted to remind you that peaceful protesters in Iran are risking their lives to be heard right now. The Center for Human Rights in Iran is helping to bring their voices to the international stage, and it provides

legal aid for political prisoners and victims of violence. So if you want to help them in this important work, then please follow the link below. Until next time, stay safe out there, and remember to tell the mac ribbon your life that you love it, because you never know when it will be gone.
