David Pakman (1:30)

Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Weekly Roundup. Maybe you missed a few episodes or you want to relive the week's best highlights. We've got it all lined up right here. If you want to support independent media, keep the show viewer funded. Join us at Join Pakman Dotcom. American President Donald Trump gave a speech to the United Nations General Assembly. He announced that the name is being changed. It is no longer artificial intelligence. It is going to be super intelligence because calling it artificial makes it sound fake.

And we don't want fake. It's very real. So here is Donald Trump again, really thinking he's on to something brilliant, telling us there is a new name I hereby declare. Take a look.

Donald Trump (2:12)

From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the worlds will be changed to use the much more accurate term super as opposed to artificial. So it's super intelligence.

In other words, welcome to the new world of super intelligence dash SI.

SI. Let's see if that goes. It sounds much better. It is much better and it's much more accurate. Let's see if I have any power. Maybe I do and maybe I don't want to find out pretty soon.

David Pakman (2:45)

We we truly live in idiocracy at this point and this explanation, the word artificial makes artificial intelligence sound fake is the conclusion someone can come to only if they believe themselves to be much more clever than they really are.

Of course, the artificial in artificial intelligence doesn't mean fake. Artificial means created or produced by humans rather than occurring naturally. But now let's start with Trump kind of reflecting on the United Nations speech that he gave earlier in the day, which we just looked at. And Trump starts talking about how people loved it and he got high marks. But what does that even really mean?

Donald Trump (3:30)

So I just want to thank everybody for being here. Very special.

Had a good time making a nice speech today. I've gotten actually very good marks. They gave me good marks. I don't know what that means. That's, hello, Mr. Prime Minister. How are you? Everything good? Look at, look at you people.

David Pakman (3:45)

Who is they? Like what? What are the marks? Who is the they?

And if you don't know what it means, why are you telling everybody about it? Chinese president Xi Jinping arrives in the United States and Trump literally rolls out the red carpet for him.

Rolling out a red carpet. And then you've got, after the Plainlands, Chinese officials looking on as workers are smoothing out the red carpet for President Xi. Now, some of this is just protocol. You know, countries receive foreign leaders, there's diplomacy and ceremony. But this whole spectacle is insane when you remember how Trump treats America's democratic allies. We then get more praise from Trump of Mom Donnie, who says, Listen, you're off to a great start here.

Donald Trump (4:52)

Any remarks?

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Mayor. I've been at Gracie Manchin. We were discussing quite a few times over the years a lot, and it sort of feels like a home and it's a special place, a very special, a beautiful place when you go inside. And I've seen it with numerous different mayors. And I said some great ones and some not so great ones. So hopefully you're going to be a great one. I'll be able to say you're going to be a great one. And you're up to a start. So I just want to thank the mayor for the invitation. I'm in New York to do the United Nations tomorrow. I have a lot of meetings right now today. Very important meetings with.
