For 200 years, the idea of job security in America has been nothing more than a dream. There has always been one constant. Progress disrupts. Electricity replaced the steam engine and remade factories. Assembly lines rendered skilled craftsmen and workers unnecessary. Computers eliminated clerks and typists. The internet wiped out malls and department stores.
Video rentals, printed encyclopedias, and film cameras, gone. And now it's AI. This disruption feels different. This disruption can draft contracts, write code, analyze medical scans, generate marketing campaigns, and tutor students. This time for a change, white-collar jobs are at risk. For all the jobs lost, America must, at all costs, lead the entire world in AI.

Are you still afraid to fly? I'm getting better. I told you my trick. What? Yogurt. Yogurt? Yeah, yogurt. So before a flight, the morning of a flight, I eat yogurt and I feel fine and I'm calm and I'm relaxed and I carry on and it's no big deal. Is there a gummy in that yogurt or something? No, just yogurt.
I like read somewhere that, you know, if you get an upset stomach, eat yogurt because it has the bacteria and it helps your digestive system.
Chapter 3: How is AI disrupting white-collar jobs today?
And it just got in my brain, like it was implanted in my brain. Eat yogurt, you can fly. So everything's fine now? It's weird.
Now, when you get on the plane, do you ever worry about if you don't turn on airplane mode that the plane is going to crash?
I don't think it's going to crash, but I do think if I don't turn on airplane mode, it may mess with the communications. Okay. Here's the trivia question we're going to start with.
How many planes almost crash because of passenger cell phone signals?
Chapter 4: What examples illustrate the risks AI poses to employment?
A, three confirmed. B, 12 suspected. C, over 50 reported, or D, zero? First of all, 50 plane crashes? No, reported. These are like they almost crashed. Okay. So you got three confirmed, 12 suspected, over 50 reported, or zero? Zero. I'll go with zero.
Chapter 5: How can America lead in AI despite job losses?
Zero?
Yeah. Really? Yeah. Are you sure? Positive. 100%? 1,000%. Okay. Okay. Are you sure? Do you want me to change my answer so that she can play the buzzer back there?
I'm not saying anything. I'm just trying to help you out. I want to make sure that this is truly, truly, truly, as they say in game show land, your final answer.
This is my final answer. D, zero. You are correct.
Oh.
There's never been a documented case of a cell phone interfering with airplane navigation. So why do they do that? They want you to pay attention. To what? To the safety briefing.
I'm too busy paying attention to the person across the aisle from me that took their shoes off and put them in the middle of the aisle and they're wearing pajamas while the person sitting next to them is eating a whole turkey and lingerie. I'm not paying attention to the safety directions no matter what. What airline are you traveling on? Southwest. Southwest?
Speaking of Southwest, I'll never forget years ago, took Southwest Airlines, obviously many, many, many years ago. And we landed in Phoenix. When you land in Phoenix in the summer with the big thermals, you just don't have like this smooth landing. It like goes up and down and up and down. Then you finally like land on the ground. You're like...

Chapter 6: What are the implications of free online services for user privacy?
Yes. We didn't die. Okay. And the flight attendant came on and said, you know, ladies and gentlemen, you know, welcome to Phoenix Sky Harbor. And we apologize for that awful landing. It wasn't the captain's fault. It wasn't my fault. It was the asphalt.
I just thought that was so funny. But I'll never fly Southwest again. Why? Because they switched to select a seat. And the prices are all the same. What does that mean, select a seat? Because it used to be you would get in a boarding group and you'd sit wherever you wanted.
Chapter 7: How does ExpressVPN enhance online privacy?
The A's went on first, pick their seats. B's went on next, pick their seats. Now it's just you buy your own seat. It's just like every other airline. So I'm going to fly the nicer ones now. I remember I took my mom on Southwest once. And I think it was like she had number like 53. Wait, hold on. Before you tell this story. You didn't know how Southwest boarded airlines? No.
How much is a gallon of milk?
I just bought a little 12 ounce bottle of milk because we don't drink milk. Just to use inside of a recipe. And it was $1.99 for 12 ounces.
That's way too much. But okay. I can't believe you didn't know how Southwest Airlines worked. I don't fly Southwest.
I mean, it's been probably, I bet you I haven't flown Southwest for 30 years. Okay. It's a long time. I mean, it's a long time. But then I, but I was telling, as I was saying, like my, so I took my mom on Southwest and she got to the, um, she got to like the, the door to get on the plane. And she looks at me and she says, we're seat 53. And I said, oh, you shouldn't ask the flight attendant.
No.
