This is Deep State Radio, coming to you direct from our super secret studio in the third

sub-basement of the Ministry of Snark in Washington, D.C., and from other undisclosed locations

across America and around the world.

Hello and welcome to DSR's Words Matter.

I'm David Rothkopfier, host, who's here basically to elicit bits of wisdom

and to help coax out whatever is necessary in the way of anger and expiation from the Oracle of of Washington, D.C. Norm Ornstein, here on this Aeref Memorial Day,

But I'm thrilled that we could introduce to our audience the word expiation.

You know, part of the value added that we can bring is words that are not used very commonly.

And so people can now ask Siri or Google expiation.

Exactly. I talk to Siri all the time. Yeah.

Other than you, she is my only friend. It's not exactly true.

No, there's also chat GPT. You have a plethora of friends. Because sometimes I said there was Siri, chatty, Claude. We have a little, you know,

exchange. It's fantastic. What's nice about Siri is that if you call Syria a name or use a

profanity, Siri does respond in saying things like, that's not appropriate.

You know, my wife who, you know, speaks seven languages, I think, has been working on her Chinese for years, that she feels she really needs to practice it.

And she practices Chinese with chat GPT.

And, you know, she can do it while she's driving in the car and she'll say chat GPT, let's have a conversation in Chinese. And if I make

a mistake, correct me. And off she goes. And she'll do a half an hour conversation in Chinese with

chat GPT and it makes up interesting stuff and it corrects her.
