1
00:00:00,190 --> 00:00:02,890
You guys have absolutely been cracking me up.

2
00:00:03,470 --> 00:00:04,770
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:04,930 --> 00:00:05,190
DeVora.

4
00:00:05,410 --> 00:00:07,270
It's Thursday, January 9th, 2025.

5
00:00:07,690 --> 00:00:09,090
This is your award-winning give-on-Asian

6
00:00:09,090 --> 00:00:11,630
-media assassination episode 1728.

7
00:00:11,950 --> 00:00:13,590
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:14,750 --> 00:00:18,090
Battling the blaze here and broadcasting live from

9
00:00:18,090 --> 00:00:19,530
the heart of the Texas Silicon Valley.

10
00:00:19,890 --> 00:00:21,550
Here in FEMA region number six.

11
00:00:22,010 --> 00:00:24,090
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

12
00:00:24,670 --> 00:00:27,130
And from northern Silicon Valley, we're working on

13
00:00:27,130 --> 00:00:30,890
changing the state motto to, quote, zero containment.

14
00:00:31,330 --> 00:00:31,950
I'm John C.

15
00:00:32,010 --> 00:00:32,230
DeVora.

16
00:00:32,890 --> 00:00:34,590
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.

17
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:35,770
In the morning.

18
00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:39,490
So whenever I don't get your full batch

19
00:00:39,490 --> 00:00:41,230
of clips in the morning, it's very disturbing

20
00:00:41,230 --> 00:00:41,870
to me.

21
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,280
Why?

22
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,380
Well, because then I don't know what I

23
00:00:47,380 --> 00:00:48,440
should be clipping or not.

24
00:00:48,980 --> 00:00:50,600
Well, it doesn't happen that often and I

25
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:51,840
send them right to you when you didn't

26
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:52,220
get them.

27
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,440
Oh, two hours ago, I sent you an

28
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:57,740
email.

29
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:58,800
Oh.

30
00:00:59,100 --> 00:00:59,280
Yeah.

31
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:00,640
Well, I just opened my email.

32
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,820
Well, as soon as I opened my email,

33
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:03,920
I saw the thing.

34
00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:05,300
I said, wow, let me send those.

35
00:01:05,740 --> 00:01:07,040
Let me send those off.

36
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:09,080
No, the reason why is because I mean,

37
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,240
I figured you'd have fire clips.

38
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:12,900
And you could call me.

39
00:01:14,890 --> 00:01:20,670
You know, Dana Brunetti, super producer to the

40
00:01:20,670 --> 00:01:24,150
stars, sent me a screenshot of him calling

41
00:01:24,150 --> 00:01:24,530
you.

42
00:01:25,610 --> 00:01:27,790
And it said, user busy.

43
00:01:29,930 --> 00:01:32,310
You do not even have call waiting, do

44
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:32,490
you?

45
00:01:34,090 --> 00:01:35,330
Oh, God, no.

46
00:01:37,250 --> 00:01:39,270
We thought that was very old school of

47
00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:39,510
you.

48
00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:43,390
When's the last time you called somebody and

49
00:01:43,390 --> 00:01:44,110
you got a busy?

50
00:01:44,290 --> 00:01:45,750
I don't even know what a busy tone

51
00:01:45,750 --> 00:01:46,870
sounds like anymore.

52
00:01:50,530 --> 00:01:52,370
So yeah, I could have called.

53
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:53,070
What am I supposed to do?

54
00:01:53,090 --> 00:01:55,010
Just be here so everyone can just call

55
00:01:55,010 --> 00:01:55,550
over and over.

56
00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:58,370
But everyone should disable.

57
00:01:58,490 --> 00:01:59,630
This should be a tip of the day.

58
00:01:59,710 --> 00:02:01,330
Get rid of call waiting.

59
00:02:04,390 --> 00:02:04,990
Hold on.

60
00:02:05,050 --> 00:02:05,350
Hold on.

61
00:02:05,370 --> 00:02:05,710
Hold on.

62
00:02:05,750 --> 00:02:06,590
I got this other call.

63
00:02:06,770 --> 00:02:07,250
Hold on.

64
00:02:07,389 --> 00:02:10,770
You stay there while the other person interrupts

65
00:02:10,770 --> 00:02:11,530
our phone call.

66
00:02:11,870 --> 00:02:12,910
I'll go talk to them.

67
00:02:13,010 --> 00:02:13,770
You just hang on.

68
00:02:13,850 --> 00:02:14,190
Hang on.

69
00:02:14,270 --> 00:02:14,830
Hang on.

70
00:02:15,130 --> 00:02:16,390
Bigger name on the other line.

71
00:02:16,450 --> 00:02:17,090
What can I tell you?

72
00:02:17,150 --> 00:02:17,910
Stand back.

73
00:02:18,450 --> 00:02:20,710
Well, since you have since you, of course,

74
00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:22,850
have the rundown, you being in California, far

75
00:02:22,850 --> 00:02:25,710
away from the the the licking flames of

76
00:02:25,710 --> 00:02:28,790
danger, I will just give us two short

77
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:32,090
clips, a little vibe for what the media

78
00:02:32,090 --> 00:02:34,850
has been like here in these United States.

79
00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:37,190
Listen to the music.

80
00:02:38,450 --> 00:02:39,190
The demure.

81
00:02:40,310 --> 00:02:41,210
And good evening.

82
00:02:41,330 --> 00:02:42,730
As you can see, we are covering one

83
00:02:42,730 --> 00:02:46,390
of the most destructive fires in California history.

84
00:02:46,970 --> 00:02:48,830
I'm Nora O'Donnell with Tony DiCoppo, who is

85
00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:50,610
on the ground in Los Angeles on the

86
00:02:50,610 --> 00:02:52,530
ground with our team of reporters.

87
00:02:52,750 --> 00:02:54,590
And we thank you for joining us as

88
00:02:54,590 --> 00:02:58,130
we dedicate tonight's entire broadcast to those historic

89
00:02:58,130 --> 00:03:01,190
and devastating fires in Southern California.

90
00:03:01,510 --> 00:03:03,550
The entire broadcast is dedicated to it.

91
00:03:03,650 --> 00:03:04,590
And good morning, America.

92
00:03:05,150 --> 00:03:05,630
Oh, no.

93
00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:09,690
Dramatic music right now on.

94
00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:10,510
Good morning, America.

95
00:03:10,670 --> 00:03:12,510
First look fire emergency.

96
00:03:15,250 --> 00:03:17,930
Multiple fires raging out of control in Southern

97
00:03:17,930 --> 00:03:21,150
California overnight, by the worst windstorm the region

98
00:03:21,150 --> 00:03:22,750
has seen in over a decade.

99
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:24,370
All right, then.

100
00:03:25,150 --> 00:03:26,770
Yeah, let's get out of here.

101
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:29,810
Homes burning, thousands fleeing, forced to leave their

102
00:03:29,810 --> 00:03:31,290
cars behind and run.

103
00:03:31,530 --> 00:03:33,850
Winds up to 100 miles per hour.

104
00:03:34,150 --> 00:03:36,130
Witnesses calling it simply terrifying.

105
00:03:36,610 --> 00:03:37,910
This is Sunset Boulevard.

106
00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:39,810
You can see the fire just engulfing the

107
00:03:39,810 --> 00:03:40,330
hillside.

108
00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:43,030
Motors have to get out and run to

109
00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:43,350
safety.

110
00:03:43,630 --> 00:03:45,570
New reports of injuries coming in.

111
00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:48,150
Our reporters across the region right now on

112
00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:50,150
a special edition of Good Morning America.

113
00:03:50,270 --> 00:03:51,050
First look.

114
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:53,130
Well, there you go.

115
00:03:53,130 --> 00:03:55,210
I'm tired just listening to him.

116
00:03:55,370 --> 00:03:55,890
Wow.

117
00:03:56,090 --> 00:03:56,610
Yeah.

118
00:03:57,770 --> 00:04:00,510
You just by accident said demure.

119
00:04:00,690 --> 00:04:02,450
And I was thinking David Muir.

120
00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:02,890
D.

121
00:04:03,130 --> 00:04:03,510
Muir.

122
00:04:03,530 --> 00:04:03,870
D.

123
00:04:03,970 --> 00:04:04,290
Muir.

124
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:05,010
There you go.

125
00:04:05,590 --> 00:04:05,910
Wow.

126
00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:09,570
Do you know that Joe Rogan discussed this

127
00:04:09,570 --> 00:04:11,690
very issue happening?

128
00:04:12,330 --> 00:04:12,930
With Trump.

129
00:04:13,650 --> 00:04:14,630
No, it wasn't with Trump.

130
00:04:15,010 --> 00:04:16,089
He did with Trump, too.

131
00:04:16,490 --> 00:04:19,149
Oh, he did this thing that he had.

132
00:04:20,050 --> 00:04:21,350
What's the Pulp Fiction director?

133
00:04:21,690 --> 00:04:22,810
What's his what's his name again?

134
00:04:23,950 --> 00:04:24,270
Tarantino.

135
00:04:24,470 --> 00:04:25,750
Yeah, Tarantino.

136
00:04:25,890 --> 00:04:27,030
Yeah, it's a short clip.

137
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:28,690
Yeah, when I was filming Fear Factor, I

138
00:04:28,690 --> 00:04:29,310
talked to this guy.

139
00:04:29,370 --> 00:04:31,250
I was a fire guy for the fire

140
00:04:31,250 --> 00:04:31,550
department.

141
00:04:31,630 --> 00:04:32,770
He said, it's just going to be a

142
00:04:32,770 --> 00:04:33,410
matter of time.

143
00:04:33,750 --> 00:04:35,270
There's going to be one day where a

144
00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:37,890
fire hits L.A. and the wind is

145
00:04:37,890 --> 00:04:39,410
the right way and we're not going to

146
00:04:39,410 --> 00:04:40,050
be able to stop it.

147
00:04:40,090 --> 00:04:41,330
It's just going to burn right through to

148
00:04:41,330 --> 00:04:41,770
the ocean.

149
00:04:42,030 --> 00:04:43,250
He goes, it's just a matter of time.

150
00:04:43,290 --> 00:04:43,910
We all know it.

151
00:04:44,490 --> 00:04:45,890
I was like, what the dude?

152
00:04:46,010 --> 00:04:47,730
I go, the whole city goes the whole

153
00:04:47,730 --> 00:04:48,050
city.

154
00:04:48,530 --> 00:04:50,450
He goes, when those big fires get going,

155
00:04:50,610 --> 00:04:51,770
there's not a damn thing.

156
00:04:51,770 --> 00:04:53,430
Like what happened in Malibu a few years

157
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:53,670
back.

158
00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:56,670
So is this incompetence?

159
00:04:56,750 --> 00:04:58,030
Is it just Los Angeles?

160
00:04:58,910 --> 00:05:00,650
It is time for me to read one

161
00:05:00,650 --> 00:05:04,350
of my favorite passages from Up and Down

162
00:05:04,350 --> 00:05:07,150
California, the journal of William H.

163
00:05:07,370 --> 00:05:07,710
Brewer.

164
00:05:08,630 --> 00:05:09,170
Oh, yes.

165
00:05:09,330 --> 00:05:11,870
This, by the way, should be read every

166
00:05:11,870 --> 00:05:12,270
year.

167
00:05:12,290 --> 00:05:12,590
Yep.

168
00:05:12,690 --> 00:05:12,950
Yep.

169
00:05:13,550 --> 00:05:16,470
For the obvious reasons to be well before.

170
00:05:16,690 --> 00:05:17,690
Wait, wait.

171
00:05:17,890 --> 00:05:18,850
I want you to read.

172
00:05:18,990 --> 00:05:19,090
Yeah.

173
00:05:19,090 --> 00:05:19,790
OK, I'm waiting.

174
00:05:19,790 --> 00:05:21,050
But before you read that.

175
00:05:22,510 --> 00:05:24,150
I'm surprised this didn't happen more often.

176
00:05:24,290 --> 00:05:25,570
But of course, NPR.

177
00:05:26,510 --> 00:05:27,690
I do have the clip.

178
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:30,510
This is fire.

179
00:05:30,770 --> 00:05:31,590
I've got so many fire.

180
00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:32,390
I've got a lot of fire.

181
00:05:32,410 --> 00:05:33,850
Fire by climate.

182
00:05:34,110 --> 00:05:34,630
NPR.

183
00:05:36,090 --> 00:05:39,010
The powerful Santa Ana winds continue to fuel

184
00:05:39,010 --> 00:05:40,630
those fast moving wildfires.

185
00:05:40,770 --> 00:05:43,790
NPR's Windsor Johnston reports wind gusts have reached

186
00:05:43,790 --> 00:05:45,810
100 miles per hour.

187
00:05:45,930 --> 00:05:47,490
The strongest hit the region in more than

188
00:05:47,490 --> 00:05:47,950
a decade.

189
00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:51,650
Professor Sylvia Dee focuses on climate science and

190
00:05:51,650 --> 00:05:53,770
extreme weather at Rice University.

191
00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:57,290
She says the geography of Los Angeles County,

192
00:05:57,570 --> 00:06:01,210
combined with extremely dry conditions, are contributing to

193
00:06:01,210 --> 00:06:03,290
the severity of these wildfires.

194
00:06:03,450 --> 00:06:05,390
We're taking a leaf blower to a campfire

195
00:06:05,390 --> 00:06:08,630
that already has decades of climate change, lighter

196
00:06:08,630 --> 00:06:10,130
fluid all over it.

197
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:10,570
Wow.

198
00:06:10,970 --> 00:06:12,610
Climate change, lighter fluid.

199
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:14,410
It's surrounding by mountains.

200
00:06:14,410 --> 00:06:16,710
And then that warm ocean water to the

201
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:18,750
west is contributing to what we're seeing happen

202
00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:20,430
over the last couple of days.

203
00:06:20,610 --> 00:06:23,810
Dee says the intensity and frequency of wind

204
00:06:23,810 --> 00:06:27,290
driven wildfires are clear indicators of a changing

205
00:06:27,290 --> 00:06:27,910
climate.

206
00:06:28,170 --> 00:06:29,470
Due to climate change.

207
00:06:29,730 --> 00:06:30,850
Yes, of course.

208
00:06:31,670 --> 00:06:33,490
And now I shall read from the Up

209
00:06:33,490 --> 00:06:37,650
and Down California diary written between 1860 and

210
00:06:37,650 --> 00:06:40,510
1864 in the journal of William H.

211
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:45,050
Brewer, who detailed his extensive travels across California,

212
00:06:45,210 --> 00:06:47,510
documenting various natural phenomena.

213
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:52,890
Quote, I have witnessed torrential rains that turned

214
00:06:52,890 --> 00:06:55,950
the Central Valley into a vast whitecaps lake.

215
00:06:56,730 --> 00:06:59,590
Intolerable heat waves that made the fats of

216
00:06:59,590 --> 00:07:02,810
our meats run away in spontaneous gravy.

217
00:07:03,410 --> 00:07:06,830
Violent earthquakes and fires I could only describe

218
00:07:06,830 --> 00:07:10,450
as great sheets of flame extending over acres.

219
00:07:12,530 --> 00:07:12,970
1860.

220
00:07:14,450 --> 00:07:14,890
So.

221
00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:18,290
You know, even their commentary that this is

222
00:07:18,290 --> 00:07:20,210
the worst windstorm for a decade.

223
00:07:20,610 --> 00:07:21,830
That's 10 years ago.

224
00:07:22,050 --> 00:07:22,190
Yeah.

225
00:07:22,290 --> 00:07:24,110
They have these hundred mile an hour winds

226
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:25,050
all the time.

227
00:07:25,590 --> 00:07:25,950
Yes.

228
00:07:27,170 --> 00:07:28,650
The Santa Ana winds.

229
00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:30,110
When I was a little kid, they used

230
00:07:30,110 --> 00:07:31,670
to talk about the Santa Ana winds.

231
00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:32,770
Oh yeah, here they come.

232
00:07:32,970 --> 00:07:34,890
We've talked about the Santa Ana winds on

233
00:07:34,890 --> 00:07:35,330
this show.

234
00:07:35,470 --> 00:07:37,370
I can recall it at least five, six

235
00:07:37,370 --> 00:07:37,810
times.

236
00:07:38,530 --> 00:07:38,730
Sure.

237
00:07:38,730 --> 00:07:39,270
Yeah.

238
00:07:39,370 --> 00:07:41,910
So this is nothing new other than possibly

239
00:07:41,910 --> 00:07:45,930
some brush management did not take place, but

240
00:07:45,930 --> 00:07:49,030
it did give everybody an opportunity to try

241
00:07:49,030 --> 00:07:50,130
out their new uniforms.

242
00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:53,250
Did you see the new uniforms, the yellow

243
00:07:53,250 --> 00:07:54,290
coat and the goggles?

244
00:07:55,870 --> 00:07:57,670
You mean by the reporters?

245
00:07:57,750 --> 00:07:58,150
Yes.

246
00:07:58,210 --> 00:07:58,450
Yes.

247
00:07:58,470 --> 00:07:59,590
That's their new uniform.

248
00:07:59,710 --> 00:08:00,770
I get them to get my yellow coat

249
00:08:00,770 --> 00:08:02,550
on and my goggles and my mask.

250
00:08:03,190 --> 00:08:04,590
And of course, we don't want to make

251
00:08:04,590 --> 00:08:06,430
light of the of the destruction.

252
00:08:06,890 --> 00:08:07,770
No, it's a mess.

253
00:08:07,770 --> 00:08:09,110
Because this is horrible.

254
00:08:09,130 --> 00:08:10,590
I used to live in the Hollywood Hills,

255
00:08:10,770 --> 00:08:13,550
not far from Runyon Canyon, which there's a

256
00:08:13,550 --> 00:08:14,810
fire there as well.

257
00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:19,010
And I can imagine it's quite frightening.

258
00:08:19,550 --> 00:08:24,290
It's just, it's amazing that this has happened

259
00:08:24,290 --> 00:08:25,590
to so many celebrities.

260
00:08:27,130 --> 00:08:28,330
Who, by the way, are not- Pacific

261
00:08:28,330 --> 00:08:30,210
Palisades is loaded with celebrities.

262
00:08:30,470 --> 00:08:31,610
Oh yeah, but it's all the way to

263
00:08:31,610 --> 00:08:32,390
Calabasas.

264
00:08:32,490 --> 00:08:33,909
It's parts of Malibu.

265
00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:37,770
And I haven't heard many celebrities say climate

266
00:08:37,770 --> 00:08:38,789
change, honestly.

267
00:08:38,909 --> 00:08:40,190
I haven't heard much of that.

268
00:08:40,950 --> 00:08:44,510
But I will play one celebrity, Adam Carolla,

269
00:08:45,090 --> 00:08:49,250
who fulfills the prophecy of Mo Facts, which

270
00:08:49,250 --> 00:08:51,470
is blame it on the black women.

271
00:08:51,730 --> 00:08:53,870
We keep putting these people in this position.

272
00:08:54,750 --> 00:08:56,510
And what do you expect?

273
00:08:56,970 --> 00:08:57,970
What are we looking for?

274
00:08:58,290 --> 00:09:01,190
You people are all sitting around, all you

275
00:09:01,190 --> 00:09:04,910
dickheads who live in the Palisades, who voted

276
00:09:04,910 --> 00:09:07,310
for Karen Bass and never stopped patting yourself

277
00:09:07,310 --> 00:09:09,330
on the back because we go, we have

278
00:09:09,330 --> 00:09:12,690
the first African American female as a-

279
00:09:12,690 --> 00:09:12,870
Right.

280
00:09:13,230 --> 00:09:16,830
She's in Africa, collecting beads, and your fucking

281
00:09:16,830 --> 00:09:17,990
house is burning down.

282
00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:19,850
And you want to know what's going on.

283
00:09:20,230 --> 00:09:20,750
Oh, man.

284
00:09:21,090 --> 00:09:22,350
You don't know what's going on?

285
00:09:22,450 --> 00:09:24,790
You elect incompetent people, you pat yourself in

286
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:27,250
the back, you look at his progress, and

287
00:09:27,250 --> 00:09:28,170
then we get fucked.

288
00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:32,150
So, again- It's not safe for work.

289
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:33,150
It could be a vice president.

290
00:09:33,490 --> 00:09:33,590
Sorry.

291
00:09:33,890 --> 00:09:35,890
It could be the mayor of Los Angeles.

292
00:09:36,090 --> 00:09:38,970
It could be the deputy police inspector of

293
00:09:38,970 --> 00:09:39,510
New Orleans.

294
00:09:39,730 --> 00:09:42,470
It could be the fire chief of Los

295
00:09:42,470 --> 00:09:42,770
Angeles.

296
00:09:42,830 --> 00:09:46,190
These are pretty important jobs, pretty highfalutin jobs.

297
00:09:46,690 --> 00:09:50,370
And I would not care if every single

298
00:09:50,370 --> 00:09:52,950
one of them was manned by a black

299
00:09:52,950 --> 00:09:53,330
lesbian.

300
00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:56,230
I would not have any problem with that

301
00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:57,170
whatsoever.

302
00:09:58,270 --> 00:10:00,770
Just as long as none of that factored

303
00:10:00,770 --> 00:10:02,490
in to them getting the job.

304
00:10:02,830 --> 00:10:05,290
But if they got pushed up ahead of

305
00:10:05,290 --> 00:10:07,890
other people because of that, and that seems

306
00:10:07,890 --> 00:10:09,450
to be what's happening because you guys never

307
00:10:09,450 --> 00:10:13,390
stopped celebrating that, then no, I do not

308
00:10:13,390 --> 00:10:13,930
want that.

309
00:10:14,650 --> 00:10:17,550
And I know you're doing it because you

310
00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:18,410
celebrate it.

311
00:10:18,490 --> 00:10:20,110
You always go, oh, she's the first.

312
00:10:20,250 --> 00:10:21,830
What's that have to do with fire safety?

313
00:10:22,450 --> 00:10:24,950
What the fuck does being a lesbian have

314
00:10:24,950 --> 00:10:25,950
to do with fire safety?

315
00:10:25,950 --> 00:10:28,070
I would argue they know less about fire

316
00:10:28,070 --> 00:10:29,750
safety because their hair is so short.

317
00:10:30,530 --> 00:10:31,130
Okay.

318
00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:32,910
Sorry.

319
00:10:33,050 --> 00:10:36,490
I should have warned about the family on

320
00:10:36,490 --> 00:10:36,750
safety.

321
00:10:37,210 --> 00:10:41,210
And of course, the NBC Los Angeles news

322
00:10:41,210 --> 00:10:44,010
pieces start to surface and it's all very

323
00:10:44,010 --> 00:10:44,570
unfortunate.

324
00:10:45,050 --> 00:10:46,790
I'm super inspired.

325
00:10:47,150 --> 00:10:48,990
She took time out of her already busy

326
00:10:48,990 --> 00:10:51,010
schedule to tell us about her vision for

327
00:10:51,010 --> 00:10:52,170
the department's future.

328
00:10:52,510 --> 00:10:55,050
One that includes a three-year strategic plan

329
00:10:55,050 --> 00:10:56,390
to increase diversity.

330
00:10:56,650 --> 00:10:58,250
People ask me, well, what number are you

331
00:10:58,250 --> 00:10:58,670
looking for?

332
00:10:58,750 --> 00:10:59,730
So I'm not looking for a number.

333
00:11:00,030 --> 00:11:00,830
It's never enough.

334
00:11:01,010 --> 00:11:04,250
Out of 3,300 city firefighters, only 115

335
00:11:04,250 --> 00:11:06,010
are women right now.

336
00:11:06,250 --> 00:11:08,270
She's already looking at ways to change that.

337
00:11:08,610 --> 00:11:10,350
She's quick to point out that doing so

338
00:11:10,350 --> 00:11:13,030
has a greater purpose, attracting the best and

339
00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:14,190
brightest for the job.

340
00:11:14,290 --> 00:11:16,850
They feel included, they feel valued, and they

341
00:11:16,850 --> 00:11:18,370
feel part of a cohesive team.

342
00:11:18,370 --> 00:11:20,690
The chief also checks another box when it

343
00:11:20,690 --> 00:11:23,670
comes to inclusivity and diversity at this department.

344
00:11:23,830 --> 00:11:27,110
She's a proud member of the LGBTQ community.

345
00:11:27,770 --> 00:11:29,410
That just kind of opens the door of

346
00:11:29,410 --> 00:11:31,150
people that thought, wow, I didn't even know

347
00:11:31,150 --> 00:11:33,190
that that was an opportunity for me.

348
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:35,070
Ah, there you go.

349
00:11:35,270 --> 00:11:36,110
So that's the narrative.

350
00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:38,570
Yeah, that clip's incorporated in a couple of

351
00:11:38,570 --> 00:11:38,950
my clips too.

352
00:11:38,950 --> 00:11:40,130
Well, that's the narrative.

353
00:11:40,270 --> 00:11:41,090
That is the narrative.

354
00:11:41,310 --> 00:11:42,390
It's all DEI.

355
00:11:42,510 --> 00:11:43,930
I don't think that's true.

356
00:11:43,930 --> 00:11:46,370
I think it's just poor management, as we've

357
00:11:46,370 --> 00:11:51,370
seen in previous California fires, forest floor management.

358
00:11:51,950 --> 00:11:53,030
There isn't any.

359
00:11:53,630 --> 00:11:54,850
Yeah, that would be poor.

360
00:11:55,590 --> 00:12:01,110
I'll preface this when I was with the

361
00:12:01,110 --> 00:12:03,290
air pollution district in the 70s.

362
00:12:04,450 --> 00:12:07,390
There were controlled burns constantly.

363
00:12:08,650 --> 00:12:09,190
Constantly.

364
00:12:09,790 --> 00:12:10,490
In the 70s?

365
00:12:10,490 --> 00:12:12,350
Did it end in the 80s, the 90s?

366
00:12:12,350 --> 00:12:13,370
Do you know when it ended?

367
00:12:13,370 --> 00:12:15,650
I think it ended in the 80s when

368
00:12:15,650 --> 00:12:17,590
people started complaining about it.

369
00:12:17,690 --> 00:12:19,450
Hey, we don't like that fire.

370
00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:20,670
We don't like that fire.

371
00:12:20,890 --> 00:12:21,030
Why?

372
00:12:21,410 --> 00:12:23,890
The Democrats, well, it's causing pollution.

373
00:12:24,890 --> 00:12:26,970
You know, we used to have, besides having

374
00:12:26,970 --> 00:12:32,470
controlled burns constantly, constantly, we also had a

375
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:34,050
group called Ducks Unlimited.

376
00:12:34,610 --> 00:12:35,850
Ducks Unlimited?

377
00:12:36,630 --> 00:12:37,230
Yeah.

378
00:12:37,510 --> 00:12:38,730
This sounds like a...

379
00:12:38,730 --> 00:12:39,910
I'm surprised you...

380
00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:40,990
I've not heard of it.

381
00:12:40,990 --> 00:12:42,810
Actually, even more shocked that you don't remember

382
00:12:42,810 --> 00:12:43,410
this group.

383
00:12:44,850 --> 00:12:47,490
Ducks Unlimited, and I think they still exist,

384
00:12:47,790 --> 00:12:51,590
but in California, Ducks Unlimited were duck hunters

385
00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:54,770
who were responsible for doing controlled burns of

386
00:12:54,770 --> 00:12:58,010
tule fields and other areas where ducks like

387
00:12:58,010 --> 00:12:59,490
to come in so they could hunt them

388
00:12:59,490 --> 00:13:00,390
and shoot them dead.

389
00:13:01,730 --> 00:13:04,690
And so Ducks Unlimited, they were allowed to

390
00:13:04,690 --> 00:13:07,010
have controlled burns themselves, it'd be a Ducks

391
00:13:07,010 --> 00:13:07,830
Unlimited burn.

392
00:13:07,830 --> 00:13:10,290
And they would burn off a whole area

393
00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:16,030
of fire prone vegetation and also making it

394
00:13:16,030 --> 00:13:17,810
possible for the ducks to come in.

395
00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:21,150
And I don't know what happened to Ducks

396
00:13:21,150 --> 00:13:23,450
Unlimited, but that's over.

397
00:13:24,650 --> 00:13:26,990
And I remember when I was in high

398
00:13:26,990 --> 00:13:29,050
school and even in grammar school where they

399
00:13:29,050 --> 00:13:31,730
used to talk about fire management in school

400
00:13:31,730 --> 00:13:35,290
and go on and on about fire breaks

401
00:13:35,290 --> 00:13:37,310
and how they were so important and they

402
00:13:37,310 --> 00:13:39,930
would knock all these trees and they'd show

403
00:13:39,930 --> 00:13:43,250
pictures where there'd be a giant big lane

404
00:13:43,250 --> 00:13:45,910
that was empty of trees so you couldn't

405
00:13:45,910 --> 00:13:47,410
get these giant fires.

406
00:13:47,550 --> 00:13:49,430
Anyway, this has all been dropped.

407
00:13:49,610 --> 00:13:52,430
I'm happy to report that Ducks Unlimited still

408
00:13:52,430 --> 00:13:54,810
is around today and they have the coveted

409
00:13:54,810 --> 00:13:56,530
domain ducks.org.

410
00:13:57,290 --> 00:13:59,050
They got ducks.org.

411
00:13:59,170 --> 00:13:59,730
They did.

412
00:14:00,350 --> 00:14:03,570
Yeah, see how DU has conserved more than

413
00:14:03,570 --> 00:14:06,390
18 million acres of habitat across America.

414
00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:09,850
Yes, they did good work.

415
00:14:10,210 --> 00:14:11,350
And they used to be around here, but

416
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:14,150
the whole thing fell apart.

417
00:14:14,250 --> 00:14:16,050
Now, I have a series of different, I

418
00:14:16,050 --> 00:14:17,510
got some clips to play.

419
00:14:17,730 --> 00:14:20,910
Yes, since you are in California, we expected

420
00:14:20,910 --> 00:14:21,310
no less.

421
00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:23,430
I would say, I would like to, I

422
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:24,730
don't know if, I want to start with

423
00:14:24,730 --> 00:14:26,870
the best clips, which is the Jesse Waters

424
00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:27,510
rundown.

425
00:14:29,210 --> 00:14:32,030
I mean, it's just because I saw him.

426
00:14:32,210 --> 00:14:33,550
It was on The Five and he was

427
00:14:33,550 --> 00:14:35,490
working on, you know, The Five, if anyone

428
00:14:35,490 --> 00:14:38,230
watches Fox, they'll notice The Five is really

429
00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:39,070
woodshedding.

430
00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:41,370
They're just working on material for their own

431
00:14:41,370 --> 00:14:42,710
shows later in the day.

432
00:14:42,930 --> 00:14:46,710
Oh, it's like comedians who go into a

433
00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:48,590
little club to test out the material.

434
00:14:48,810 --> 00:14:49,790
Yes, exactly.

435
00:14:49,930 --> 00:14:50,950
It's practicing.

436
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:53,610
And so Waters had a really good bit

437
00:14:53,610 --> 00:14:54,070
on The Five.

438
00:14:54,070 --> 00:14:55,850
I said, I should record this.

439
00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:57,170
And then he did it on a show

440
00:14:57,170 --> 00:14:58,250
and he added to it.

441
00:14:58,670 --> 00:15:00,650
Now, I had to cut this way back.

442
00:15:00,790 --> 00:15:02,370
I guess five short clips.

443
00:15:02,370 --> 00:15:04,670
Well, of course, they dedicated their entire channel

444
00:15:04,670 --> 00:15:05,050
to it.

445
00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:06,090
The whole network like this.

446
00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:09,190
By the way, no more news about exploding

447
00:15:09,190 --> 00:15:10,010
cyber trucks.

448
00:15:11,530 --> 00:15:14,690
No, or more dead people in New Orleans.

449
00:15:14,870 --> 00:15:16,570
No, let's just move that away.

450
00:15:18,290 --> 00:15:19,150
Yeah, definitely.

451
00:15:20,130 --> 00:15:22,670
So Waters had, I had to cut this

452
00:15:22,670 --> 00:15:23,650
back for two reasons.

453
00:15:23,650 --> 00:15:26,230
One, I thought it was poorly produced.

454
00:15:26,910 --> 00:15:29,830
And Waters has the best producers on Fox

455
00:15:29,830 --> 00:15:31,450
because it's got the best time slot.

456
00:15:32,030 --> 00:15:34,290
But they had clips that needed to be

457
00:15:34,290 --> 00:15:35,550
sweet and they were terrible.

458
00:15:35,690 --> 00:15:36,690
I had to pull them all out.

459
00:15:36,830 --> 00:15:37,090
Oh, no.

460
00:15:37,330 --> 00:15:39,470
And Waters has this tendency to do, even

461
00:15:39,470 --> 00:15:41,190
though I thought Fox did a pretty decent

462
00:15:41,190 --> 00:15:43,810
job of not being political and they're reporting

463
00:15:43,810 --> 00:15:44,490
on the fires.

464
00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:45,970
Yeah, they all did it.

465
00:15:46,830 --> 00:15:50,010
Well, I thought that was pretty good.

466
00:15:50,010 --> 00:15:52,870
But the guys who are meant to be

467
00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:57,490
political, like Waters, was political.

468
00:15:57,770 --> 00:16:00,490
But he also has this tendency to drop

469
00:16:00,490 --> 00:16:02,330
in snide asides.

470
00:16:02,610 --> 00:16:03,130
Yes, snide.

471
00:16:03,230 --> 00:16:03,890
Snide-ism.

472
00:16:04,050 --> 00:16:04,690
Snide-ism.

473
00:16:06,690 --> 00:16:09,730
I pulled most of those out, too, because

474
00:16:09,730 --> 00:16:11,350
I find them to be distracting.

475
00:16:12,310 --> 00:16:13,970
Because the presentation is good.

476
00:16:14,050 --> 00:16:15,790
What are you throwing this stuff in there

477
00:16:15,790 --> 00:16:15,990
for?

478
00:16:16,150 --> 00:16:18,510
I mean, it's just poor form.

479
00:16:18,510 --> 00:16:19,730
So here we go.

480
00:16:20,010 --> 00:16:22,130
What he does is he goes through a

481
00:16:22,130 --> 00:16:25,770
rundown of all the stupid crap that California

482
00:16:25,770 --> 00:16:30,210
has done under Democrat leadership, including the one

483
00:16:30,210 --> 00:16:33,950
that really is just mind-boggling, which is

484
00:16:33,950 --> 00:16:37,370
taking out the four good dams we had,

485
00:16:37,450 --> 00:16:40,910
which used to be used for both conservation.

486
00:16:41,490 --> 00:16:43,830
It was used for water resources.

487
00:16:44,110 --> 00:16:46,470
They were used for power generation.

488
00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:50,250
And Newsom took all four of them out

489
00:16:50,250 --> 00:16:51,050
of the state.

490
00:16:51,290 --> 00:16:52,350
He took them out and just blew them

491
00:16:52,350 --> 00:16:52,590
up.

492
00:16:53,530 --> 00:16:54,590
And it's just ludicrous.

493
00:16:54,690 --> 00:16:55,290
But here we go.

494
00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:56,410
Waters won.

495
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,390
Apocalyptic.

496
00:16:58,090 --> 00:17:00,090
This is Los Angeles County.

497
00:17:00,450 --> 00:17:02,070
Entire neighborhoods are burning.

498
00:17:02,670 --> 00:17:05,490
Over 10,000 acres in Pacific Palisades alone.

499
00:17:06,210 --> 00:17:08,470
And the smoke everyone's breathing is being described

500
00:17:08,470 --> 00:17:09,890
as a toxic soup.

501
00:17:10,510 --> 00:17:12,010
Five people already dead.

502
00:17:12,369 --> 00:17:13,349
They were burned alive.

503
00:17:13,990 --> 00:17:15,710
Hundreds of homes have been scorched.

504
00:17:15,710 --> 00:17:17,849
This is the most destructive fire in LA

505
00:17:17,849 --> 00:17:18,550
County history.

506
00:17:18,690 --> 00:17:20,210
And it's still raging.

507
00:17:20,770 --> 00:17:22,730
Zero percent of the fire has been contained.

508
00:17:23,050 --> 00:17:23,810
Zero percent.

509
00:17:24,690 --> 00:17:26,710
Winds are whipping up to 100 miles an

510
00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:29,030
hour, breathing more and more life into the

511
00:17:29,030 --> 00:17:29,430
inferno.

512
00:17:30,010 --> 00:17:32,750
And over 1,400 firefighters are battling the

513
00:17:32,750 --> 00:17:34,730
blaze on the front lines, and they haven't

514
00:17:34,730 --> 00:17:35,110
slept.

515
00:17:35,770 --> 00:17:37,830
One says, I'm living proof that you can

516
00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:39,310
stay up for 96 hours.

517
00:17:39,730 --> 00:17:41,830
But they're outmanned and out-equipped.

518
00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:44,450
The chief says she doesn't have enough firefighters.

519
00:17:45,230 --> 00:17:48,410
Just months ago, LA Mayor Karen Bass cut

520
00:17:48,410 --> 00:17:51,370
funding from the fire department by around $20

521
00:17:51,370 --> 00:17:51,930
billion.

522
00:17:52,550 --> 00:17:54,870
And before that, the LA Fire Department sent

523
00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:56,230
their extra equipment to Ukraine.

524
00:17:56,730 --> 00:17:58,530
They probably could use some of that equipment

525
00:17:58,530 --> 00:17:58,890
now.

526
00:17:59,490 --> 00:18:00,850
And this is even worse.

527
00:18:01,270 --> 00:18:02,810
The fire hydrants are dry.

528
00:18:03,290 --> 00:18:03,810
Wait a minute.

529
00:18:03,890 --> 00:18:04,890
20 billion?

530
00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:06,550
Does he mean million or billion?

531
00:18:06,730 --> 00:18:08,410
He said, he said million.

532
00:18:08,790 --> 00:18:09,790
I thought he said...

533
00:18:09,790 --> 00:18:10,570
I thought he said billion.

534
00:18:10,930 --> 00:18:12,590
He said he kind of...

535
00:18:12,590 --> 00:18:14,670
He wanted to say billion, but he said

536
00:18:14,670 --> 00:18:15,070
million.

537
00:18:15,530 --> 00:18:17,330
But 20 million for the fire department is

538
00:18:17,330 --> 00:18:17,670
quite a bit.

539
00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:19,030
And they sent stuff to Ukraine?

540
00:18:19,170 --> 00:18:19,770
Is that true?

541
00:18:19,950 --> 00:18:21,050
That's a little...

542
00:18:21,050 --> 00:18:21,370
Yeah.

543
00:18:21,710 --> 00:18:21,950
Yeah.

544
00:18:22,050 --> 00:18:24,270
They had some excess gear, so they shipped

545
00:18:24,270 --> 00:18:26,010
it to do some...

546
00:18:27,170 --> 00:18:27,650
Training.

547
00:18:27,730 --> 00:18:28,530
Virtue signaling.

548
00:18:28,730 --> 00:18:30,010
They sent stuff to Ukraine.

549
00:18:30,370 --> 00:18:31,450
Can you believe that?

550
00:18:31,610 --> 00:18:31,950
Yes.

551
00:18:32,110 --> 00:18:33,070
Unfortunately, yes.

552
00:18:34,070 --> 00:18:37,510
I can believe anything these days.

553
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:39,730
Except for the UAPs.

554
00:18:39,950 --> 00:18:41,130
Otherwise, I mean...

555
00:18:42,210 --> 00:18:45,170
Okay, let's go on with even more disaster

556
00:18:45,170 --> 00:18:45,850
reporting.

557
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:47,970
Why isn't there any water coming out of

558
00:18:47,970 --> 00:18:48,790
the fire hydrants?

559
00:18:49,850 --> 00:18:52,090
Los Angeles has had two years of record

560
00:18:52,090 --> 00:18:52,570
rainfall.

561
00:18:52,990 --> 00:18:55,050
It hasn't rained this much year to year

562
00:18:55,050 --> 00:18:56,370
since the 1800s.

563
00:18:56,710 --> 00:18:57,370
Well, guess what?

564
00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:59,930
All the rain just washes into the ocean.

565
00:19:00,790 --> 00:19:03,950
A decade ago, California voted to spend billions

566
00:19:03,950 --> 00:19:06,390
on water storage and reservoirs.

567
00:19:06,690 --> 00:19:10,550
Today, Governor Newsom hasn't finished building a single

568
00:19:10,550 --> 00:19:10,830
one.

569
00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:13,310
They've done nothing to store water in a

570
00:19:13,310 --> 00:19:13,630
decade.

571
00:19:14,450 --> 00:19:16,710
Trump was just in California this fall and

572
00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:18,390
told Gavin he needed to get it together.

573
00:19:19,410 --> 00:19:21,250
You have so much water, and all those

574
00:19:21,250 --> 00:19:23,430
fields that are right now barren, the farmers

575
00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:25,430
would have all the water they needed.

576
00:19:25,770 --> 00:19:27,850
And you could revert water up into the

577
00:19:27,850 --> 00:19:29,670
hills where you have all the dead forests,

578
00:19:29,810 --> 00:19:31,130
where the forests are so brittle.

579
00:19:31,310 --> 00:19:33,150
Because no places like California...

580
00:19:33,150 --> 00:19:33,850
I go to Austria.

581
00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:36,570
The head of Austria tells me, you know,

582
00:19:36,650 --> 00:19:39,430
we have trees that are much more flammable

583
00:19:39,430 --> 00:19:40,790
than what you have in California.

584
00:19:40,790 --> 00:19:42,690
We never have forest fires because they maintain

585
00:19:42,690 --> 00:19:43,770
their forests.

586
00:19:44,170 --> 00:19:46,410
Is it true that it hasn't rained this

587
00:19:46,410 --> 00:19:49,090
much since the 1800s, since the days of

588
00:19:49,090 --> 00:19:49,650
William H.

589
00:19:49,770 --> 00:19:49,930
Brewer?

590
00:19:50,770 --> 00:19:54,250
The last two years in L.A. were

591
00:19:54,250 --> 00:19:55,570
very rain...

592
00:19:55,570 --> 00:19:56,510
Yes, there was...

593
00:19:57,030 --> 00:19:58,350
Yeah, I don't know if it was from

594
00:19:58,350 --> 00:20:01,250
the 1800s, but it was a big blast

595
00:20:01,250 --> 00:20:01,750
of rain.

596
00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:05,810
And it was 2014 where we passed in

597
00:20:05,810 --> 00:20:11,850
California state bill number one to allocate billions

598
00:20:11,850 --> 00:20:14,510
of dollars to build new reservoirs for Southern

599
00:20:14,510 --> 00:20:15,090
California.

600
00:20:15,250 --> 00:20:16,270
That's 10 years ago.

601
00:20:16,370 --> 00:20:17,370
Nothing was built.

602
00:20:17,870 --> 00:20:18,730
And in the case...

603
00:20:18,730 --> 00:20:19,730
I don't know if he brings it up

604
00:20:19,730 --> 00:20:22,190
too much, but they have reservoirs down there.

605
00:20:22,390 --> 00:20:24,770
But this last year when they were getting

606
00:20:24,770 --> 00:20:27,930
the runoff, they didn't refill them completely.

607
00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:32,090
So we have no reservoir, new reservoirs, no

608
00:20:32,090 --> 00:20:33,950
new reservoirs, and the ones they had weren't

609
00:20:33,950 --> 00:20:34,630
completely filled.

610
00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:36,090
And so the hydrants went dead.

611
00:20:37,870 --> 00:20:39,910
You know, this is like some people have...

612
00:20:39,910 --> 00:20:42,090
Now, let me ask you a question, since

613
00:20:42,090 --> 00:20:44,010
you are a civil engineer and all kinds

614
00:20:44,010 --> 00:20:44,710
of important things.

615
00:20:44,810 --> 00:20:47,830
Yes, I only on podcasts.

616
00:20:49,530 --> 00:20:52,550
Even if you had enough water, fire hydrants

617
00:20:52,550 --> 00:20:53,970
seems like...

618
00:20:53,970 --> 00:20:56,690
I mean, it just doesn't seem sufficient for

619
00:20:56,690 --> 00:20:57,910
the type of devastation that we have.

620
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,930
I don't think you can do much with

621
00:20:59,930 --> 00:21:01,850
a couple of fire hydrants that have constant

622
00:21:01,850 --> 00:21:02,670
water, can you?

623
00:21:03,050 --> 00:21:05,330
You can stop a couple of fires.

624
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:06,970
You might save a house.

625
00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:09,110
I mean, you can do something.

626
00:21:09,310 --> 00:21:11,290
It's better than just letting the thing burn

627
00:21:11,290 --> 00:21:11,750
out.

628
00:21:14,010 --> 00:21:17,090
The point is that some people have speculated

629
00:21:17,090 --> 00:21:18,750
this is exactly what they wanted.

630
00:21:19,470 --> 00:21:21,190
Yeah, I've been hearing this too.

631
00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:24,490
Great reset of California, basically.

632
00:21:25,350 --> 00:21:27,690
It gets rid of some of these properties

633
00:21:27,690 --> 00:21:29,130
and start rebuilding.

634
00:21:29,650 --> 00:21:30,790
The lots will be cheaper.

635
00:21:31,490 --> 00:21:33,310
You let new people in to invest in

636
00:21:33,310 --> 00:21:34,030
these things.

637
00:21:35,730 --> 00:21:37,170
They're letting this burn out.

638
00:21:37,390 --> 00:21:38,710
I have a boots on the ground from

639
00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:40,710
a California firefighter, if you want to hear

640
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:40,930
it.

641
00:21:41,530 --> 00:21:41,910
Sure.

642
00:21:42,330 --> 00:21:44,530
I have been a professional firefighter in California

643
00:21:44,530 --> 00:21:45,890
for 20 years.

644
00:21:46,130 --> 00:21:49,350
Currently, I oversee a vegetation management program to

645
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:51,310
reduce fire risks to communities.

646
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:54,570
We have money, resources, and are ready to

647
00:21:54,570 --> 00:21:54,850
work.

648
00:21:55,570 --> 00:21:58,970
The environmental regulations, however, take years to navigate

649
00:21:58,970 --> 00:22:01,390
and comply with and consume a large portion

650
00:22:01,390 --> 00:22:03,010
of the funds available for this work.

651
00:22:03,490 --> 00:22:06,850
California's entire fire problem is a direct result

652
00:22:06,850 --> 00:22:08,030
of foolish policies.

653
00:22:08,710 --> 00:22:12,170
It goes back to the USFS suppressing naturally

654
00:22:12,170 --> 00:22:15,510
occurring fire for over 100 years, resulting in

655
00:22:15,510 --> 00:22:17,790
excessive fuels in our wild lands.

656
00:22:18,350 --> 00:22:20,310
Now the state of California is tying the

657
00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:22,990
hands of local communities in repairing the damage

658
00:22:22,990 --> 00:22:27,410
through nonsensical environmental regulations that prioritize red-legged

659
00:22:27,410 --> 00:22:30,870
frogs or spotted owl habitat that hasn't seen

660
00:22:30,870 --> 00:22:33,650
a spotted owl since the 80s over human

661
00:22:33,650 --> 00:22:34,530
lives and property.

662
00:22:35,010 --> 00:22:36,990
The government will blame everything and everyone except

663
00:22:36,990 --> 00:22:38,650
for their own policies, which are the real

664
00:22:38,650 --> 00:22:39,050
culprit.

665
00:22:39,530 --> 00:22:41,510
The incentives are so screwed up that no

666
00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:43,650
one is really interested in actually fixing the

667
00:22:43,650 --> 00:22:46,490
issue because everyone is grifting off the system.

668
00:22:46,490 --> 00:22:49,890
Fires are big money for both private contractors

669
00:22:49,890 --> 00:22:54,070
and government employees as is environmental compliance consulting.

670
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,020
Sounds about right to me.

671
00:22:58,660 --> 00:22:58,820
Yeah.

672
00:22:59,340 --> 00:23:00,300
Yeah, that's what you do.

673
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:00,860
Big money.

674
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:02,360
All right, onward with clip three.

675
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,880
Before Donald Trump left office, he signed an

676
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,240
order that would funnel more water from Northern

677
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,980
California into Southern California.

678
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,360
Newsom, instead of saying thank you, filed a

679
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:15,000
lawsuit to stop it saying it would kill

680
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:15,500
the smell.

681
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,980
If you don't know what a smell is,

682
00:23:18,180 --> 00:23:19,020
neither did we.

683
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,480
It's a fish the size of your pinky.

684
00:23:22,380 --> 00:23:24,540
California can't get enough water to fight fires

685
00:23:24,540 --> 00:23:25,700
because of a stupid fish.

686
00:23:26,060 --> 00:23:28,020
We're saving fish instead of people.

687
00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:30,880
Saving smell, big business.

688
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:33,380
If anything happens to the smell, people lose

689
00:23:33,380 --> 00:23:34,020
a lot of money.

690
00:23:34,740 --> 00:23:36,900
We're paying people to feel like heroes for

691
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:38,380
protecting a fish no one eats.

692
00:23:39,140 --> 00:23:40,260
But it gets worse.

693
00:23:40,980 --> 00:23:43,040
Gavin's been tearing down dams.

694
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,080
Why?

695
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,620
Because the Indians wanted some of their river

696
00:23:46,620 --> 00:23:48,160
back so they could catch salmon.

697
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,140
Gavin didn't just knock down one dam for

698
00:23:51,140 --> 00:23:51,560
the Indians.

699
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,080
He knocked down all four.

700
00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:56,100
And these dams were a go-to source

701
00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:58,200
for firefighters to pull water from to fight

702
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,060
fires up north.

703
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,020
Gavin's literally tearing down Western civilization for fish

704
00:24:03,020 --> 00:24:03,480
and Indians.

705
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:04,680
Nothing against the Indians.

706
00:24:04,820 --> 00:24:05,700
I love the Indians.

707
00:24:06,180 --> 00:24:06,840
But really?

708
00:24:07,820 --> 00:24:08,900
LA is out of water.

709
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,200
And the governor's staring at the fire with

710
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,320
his hands in his pockets.

711
00:24:12,580 --> 00:24:13,460
People are trapped.

712
00:24:13,460 --> 00:24:15,420
Homes and schools are gone.

713
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,440
And Newsom hasn't contained a single acre.

714
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,220
The governor waited 24 hours to send in

715
00:24:21,220 --> 00:24:22,020
the National Guard.

716
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,780
Water management, forest management.

717
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,300
Gavin doesn't know what he's doing.

718
00:24:26,820 --> 00:24:30,040
Again, Trump warned him about this years ago.

719
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,760
Newsom, after the election, called an emergency special

720
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,340
session in California to Trump-proof the state.

721
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,320
Not fire-proof it, Trump-proof it.

722
00:24:37,420 --> 00:24:38,320
Whatever that means.

723
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,940
Oh, Jesse.

724
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:43,040
Oh, Jesse.

725
00:24:43,380 --> 00:24:43,700
Yes.

726
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:44,660
Well, he keeps going.

727
00:24:44,740 --> 00:24:45,740
Let's go to clip four.

728
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,760
Where are the emergency escape roads that were

729
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:48,820
supposed to have been built?

730
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:50,960
People had to abandon their cars in the

731
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,740
middle of the road and run away from

732
00:24:52,740 --> 00:24:53,200
the flames.

733
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,120
Because there's only one way in and one

734
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:55,560
way out.

735
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,140
Why weren't the forest beds treated?

736
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,540
Why are we running out of water?

737
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:02,720
Joe Biden hasn't helped at all.

738
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,300
In October, the Biden administration canceled crucial controlled

739
00:25:06,300 --> 00:25:07,300
burns in California.

740
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,080
These are critical to forest management.

741
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:10,800
Cancel them.

742
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,340
Today, Biden happened to be in town because

743
00:25:13,340 --> 00:25:15,620
he was supposed to designate another national forest.

744
00:25:15,980 --> 00:25:18,220
Decided that this was the right time to

745
00:25:18,220 --> 00:25:19,280
congratulate himself.

746
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,000
So Hunter's now a grandfather and Joe's a

747
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:22,660
great-grandfather.

748
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,720
I'm sure everybody who lost their homes is

749
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:25,780
excited to hear the news.

750
00:25:26,580 --> 00:25:29,160
Trump reacted to the fires today saying, no

751
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,020
water in the fire hydrants, no money in

752
00:25:31,020 --> 00:25:31,300
FEMA.

753
00:25:31,620 --> 00:25:33,300
This is what Joe Biden is leaving me.

754
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:34,320
Thanks, Joe.

755
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,080
Meanwhile, the mayor of LA has been out

756
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,160
of the country the whole time.

757
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,680
Mayor Karen Bass has been in Africa for

758
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,520
the inauguration of the president of Ghana.

759
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:45,900
What the heck's an American politician doing attending

760
00:25:45,900 --> 00:25:47,280
inaugurations in other countries?

761
00:25:48,460 --> 00:25:50,720
Karen Bass isn't going to her own president's

762
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,960
inauguration, but she's going to the president of

763
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:53,400
Ghana's?

764
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:54,120
Why?

765
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,940
And didn't make it back home until late

766
00:25:56,940 --> 00:25:57,580
this afternoon.

767
00:25:58,220 --> 00:26:00,680
A reporter caught up with her at LAX.

768
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,020
Listen.

769
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,440
This is an apology for being absent while

770
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,280
their homes were burning.

771
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:07,840
Do you regret cutting the fire department budget

772
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,560
by millions of dollars, Madam Mayor?

773
00:26:11,540 --> 00:26:13,220
Have you nothing to say today?

774
00:26:15,180 --> 00:26:17,500
Have you absolutely nothing to say to the

775
00:26:17,500 --> 00:26:18,220
citizens today?

776
00:26:19,140 --> 00:26:19,480
Nothing.

777
00:26:20,180 --> 00:26:22,800
Biden was considering Bass for VP.

778
00:26:25,340 --> 00:26:26,760
Oh, boy, oh, boy.

779
00:26:26,860 --> 00:26:29,840
Yeah, it's very political at this point already.

780
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,800
Yeah, well, you might as well be.

781
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,100
This is a rare opportunity to really do

782
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:34,260
it.

783
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,720
Let's wrap with this last clip.

784
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,340
So who else is running things?

785
00:26:38,980 --> 00:26:40,180
This right here.

786
00:26:40,500 --> 00:26:42,460
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the leadership of

787
00:26:42,460 --> 00:26:43,480
the L.A. Fire Department.

788
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,360
I sure hope they know what they're doing.

789
00:26:45,860 --> 00:26:46,940
Here's the fire chief.

790
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,960
She took time out of her already busy

791
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,000
schedule to tell us about her vision for

792
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,700
the department's future, one that includes a three

793
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:57,380
year strategic plan to increase diversity.

794
00:26:57,700 --> 00:26:59,220
People ask me, well, what what number are

795
00:26:59,220 --> 00:26:59,700
you looking for?

796
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:00,760
So I'm not looking for a number.

797
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:01,820
It's never enough.

798
00:27:01,820 --> 00:27:06,000
Out of 3300 city firefighters, only 115 are

799
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,000
women right now.

800
00:27:07,220 --> 00:27:09,280
She's already looking at ways to change that.

801
00:27:09,460 --> 00:27:11,380
The chief also checks another box when it

802
00:27:11,380 --> 00:27:14,300
comes to inclusivity and diversity at this department.

803
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,780
She's a proud member of the LGBTQ community.

804
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,080
That just kind of opens the door of

805
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,300
people that thought, I didn't even know that

806
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:23,920
that was an opportunity for me.

807
00:27:24,420 --> 00:27:27,100
So while her department was sending equipment to

808
00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:29,560
Ukraine, the chief was marching in pride parades,

809
00:27:29,620 --> 00:27:30,360
which is fine.

810
00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:31,680
Have all the pride you want.

811
00:27:31,980 --> 00:27:33,340
But you better make sure you're ready to

812
00:27:33,340 --> 00:27:34,460
do your job when it counts.

813
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,740
L.A. County Fire Department fired a ton

814
00:27:37,740 --> 00:27:39,440
of men who refused to get vaccinated.

815
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:40,520
There it is.

816
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,840
They could have used those men today.

817
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:42,590
There it is.

818
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,660
Well, KCRA in Sacramento decided to do a

819
00:27:47,660 --> 00:27:48,360
fact check.

820
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,380
Fact check false.

821
00:27:49,620 --> 00:27:52,000
Fact check on Trump's political statements.

822
00:27:52,140 --> 00:27:53,480
Trump, Trump, Trump.

823
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:54,240
Fact check.

824
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:54,880
Fact check.

825
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,580
So here's a look at the next claim.

826
00:27:56,580 --> 00:27:59,840
Quote, he wanted to protect and he's referencing

827
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:00,480
Newsom.

828
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,580
He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish

829
00:28:03,580 --> 00:28:06,080
called a smelt by giving it less water.

830
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,340
And then in parentheses, he wrote, it didn't

831
00:28:08,340 --> 00:28:08,720
work.

832
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,420
Now, this is mostly true, but it's not

833
00:28:11,420 --> 00:28:14,100
clear what exactly the incoming president is talking

834
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:14,400
about.

835
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:16,840
Newsom is a supporter of the controversial Delta

836
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,560
Conveyance Project, which is meant to protect smelt

837
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,540
populations in the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta.

838
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,320
Separately from that, it's not clear if Trump

839
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,700
is referring to the plan that his own

840
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:30,280
administration proposed toward the end of his first

841
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,880
term, which would have exported more water from

842
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,500
the Delta to farmers and cities.

843
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,580
According to CalMatters, California officials and environmentalists opposed

844
00:28:39,580 --> 00:28:41,860
Trump's plan, saying it would have increased the

845
00:28:41,860 --> 00:28:44,700
chances that salmon, smelt and steelhead would have

846
00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:45,440
gone extinct.

847
00:28:45,820 --> 00:28:47,520
OK, so that wasn't a very good fact

848
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:47,780
check.

849
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,700
I see I played them out of order.

850
00:28:49,820 --> 00:28:51,380
Here's how it opened with a fact check.

851
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,680
The fires have also turned political.

852
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,020
President-elect Donald Trump sounding off on the

853
00:28:56,020 --> 00:28:57,980
wildfires in Southern California.

854
00:28:58,140 --> 00:28:59,800
Yeah, as our state's dealing with those who

855
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,660
made a series of social media posts to

856
00:29:01,660 --> 00:29:03,560
criticize California and the governor.

857
00:29:04,060 --> 00:29:06,940
KCRA 3's Capitol correspondent, Ashley Zavala, come through

858
00:29:06,940 --> 00:29:08,780
his claims and she gets the facts.

859
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:09,400
All right, facts.

860
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,180
As those wildfires raged, President-elect Donald Trump

861
00:29:12,180 --> 00:29:14,260
took to Truth Social on Wednesday to basically

862
00:29:14,260 --> 00:29:16,940
blame Governor Gavin Newsom for what's unfolding in

863
00:29:16,940 --> 00:29:18,000
the Los Angeles area.

864
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,960
So let's take a look at Trump's claims.

865
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,440
Here's the first one.

866
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,760
Quote, Governor Gavin Newsom refused to sign the

867
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,520
water restoration declaration put before him that would

868
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,280
have allowed millions of gallons of water from

869
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,800
excess rain and snow melt from the north

870
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,580
to flow daily into many parts of California,

871
00:29:35,780 --> 00:29:37,840
including the areas that are currently burning in

872
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,720
a virtually apocalyptic way.

873
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,800
Now, this claim is false.

874
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,280
State officials, along with Republican sources in California's

875
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,380
legislature, told us today there was never a

876
00:29:48,380 --> 00:29:50,980
water restoration declaration for Newsom to sign.

877
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,280
Since Newsom has been in office, there has

878
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,700
not been legislation that would do what Trump

879
00:29:55,700 --> 00:29:56,400
is describing.

880
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,040
Maybe they're being technical about it, but I

881
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,700
think that's exactly what you just said there

882
00:30:00,700 --> 00:30:02,580
was 10 years ago.

883
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,200
I think, well, that was, no, the thing

884
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,840
that happened 10 years ago was it was

885
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,120
a bill that passed 10 years ago to

886
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,300
build more reservoirs.

887
00:30:17,300 --> 00:30:18,760
But that wasn't the Trump thing.

888
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,500
Trump had a notion to send some of

889
00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:25,700
the water that was being flushed out to

890
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:27,980
the San Francisco Bay and into the ocean

891
00:30:27,980 --> 00:30:29,940
to Southern California.

892
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,820
And it wasn't something that Newsom could sign.

893
00:30:34,940 --> 00:30:37,560
So this is misleading, because it said that

894
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,280
waters himself had it pretty well defined.

895
00:30:40,740 --> 00:30:44,040
It was that Newsom sued against it.

896
00:30:44,260 --> 00:30:46,060
That's not the same as signing something.

897
00:30:46,060 --> 00:30:47,280
There you go, of course.

898
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,100
Well, it's a fact check false.

899
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,900
And here's the final one.

900
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,500
And Trump's next claim, quote, on top of

901
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:56,280
it all, no water for fire hydrants, not

902
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,460
firefighting planes.

903
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,640
So this is somewhat true.

904
00:30:59,820 --> 00:31:02,500
Several LA news outlets reported that because of

905
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:04,700
the extreme demand, because of those wildfires.

906
00:31:04,700 --> 00:31:06,860
This fact check is going nowhere, lady.

907
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,640
Fire hydrants ran dry in some areas and

908
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,940
water storage tanks did go dry in the

909
00:31:11,940 --> 00:31:12,880
Palisades area.

910
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,940
Local leaders expressed serious concerns about this.

911
00:31:16,460 --> 00:31:19,060
But in terms of actual water supply, Southern

912
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:20,380
California has plenty.

913
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,760
CalMatters reported water suppliers have said because of

914
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,980
back-to-back years of plenty of precipitation,

915
00:31:26,620 --> 00:31:29,220
their reservoirs and groundwater basins are brimming.

916
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,900
So on the firefighting planes claim, that is

917
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:33,260
false.

918
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,680
California has the largest civil aerial firefighting fleet

919
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:37,420
in the world.

920
00:31:37,860 --> 00:31:41,180
The aircrafts were grounded Tuesday night because of

921
00:31:41,180 --> 00:31:42,080
extreme wind.

922
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,860
Now, since these claims, Trump has posted on

923
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:46,320
Truth Social a few more times.

924
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,600
He said in terms of dollar amount, the

925
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,300
damage in LA could end up being the

926
00:31:50,300 --> 00:31:52,440
most expensive in the history of our country

927
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,500
and doubts that insurance companies will have enough

928
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:56,960
money to pay for the catastrophe.

929
00:31:57,420 --> 00:31:59,780
We can't quite fact check that yet because

930
00:31:59,780 --> 00:32:01,440
all of that is to be seen.

931
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:03,780
Oh, I could be wrong.

932
00:32:03,860 --> 00:32:05,340
It could be a fact check we can

933
00:32:05,340 --> 00:32:05,620
do.

934
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,560
What kind of reporting is this?

935
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,600
So on the insurance thing, there's a lot

936
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,760
of different reporting about insurance companies that pulled

937
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,400
out weeks or months before this fire and

938
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,240
said, we're no longer insuring you.

939
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:20,900
I don't.

940
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,120
State Farm being the biggest.

941
00:32:24,460 --> 00:32:27,220
The Reed lady had Adam Schiff on.

942
00:32:27,260 --> 00:32:28,780
He had a little twist on it.

943
00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:31,740
These fires obviously are impacting everyone, whether you're

944
00:32:31,740 --> 00:32:34,120
a Democrat or Republican, independent, doesn't matter.

945
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,520
All of us are in this together.

946
00:32:36,620 --> 00:32:39,160
But I would hope that the incoming president

947
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,480
realizes that this affects his supporters as well

948
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,380
as anyone else.

949
00:32:44,260 --> 00:32:47,160
We're all equally devastated by this.

950
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,620
And the federal government is going to need

951
00:32:49,620 --> 00:32:49,840
help.

952
00:32:49,980 --> 00:32:51,180
And I'll add one other part of the

953
00:32:51,180 --> 00:32:53,440
devastation, which we don't know yet.

954
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,360
But in talking to the mayor of Pasadena,

955
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,920
he was saying that some of the residents,

956
00:32:59,140 --> 00:33:00,940
maybe a lot of the residents in the

957
00:33:00,940 --> 00:33:05,860
Eaton fire area were having trouble insuring their

958
00:33:05,860 --> 00:33:06,240
homes.

959
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,680
Some couldn't get their homes insured.

960
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,360
Others, the insurance premiums went up so high.

961
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,400
They decided not to continue to to carry

962
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,640
the insurance because they couldn't afford it.

963
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,240
Sounds sketchy.

964
00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:21,980
You can't have a mortgage without insurance.

965
00:33:23,060 --> 00:33:25,440
The mortgage company will not allow that.

966
00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:26,240
Right.

967
00:33:26,300 --> 00:33:29,580
The banks, they will get your insurance and

968
00:33:29,580 --> 00:33:30,020
charge you.

969
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:30,340
Yeah.

970
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,480
So maybe you'll see people going after state

971
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,140
farm executives now instead of just pharma executives.

972
00:33:39,140 --> 00:33:43,320
People are not recommending anything.

973
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,380
Well, the way the way it was brought

974
00:33:45,380 --> 00:33:48,140
to Steve Hilton had I didn't have any

975
00:33:48,140 --> 00:33:48,320
more.

976
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,460
I could have got more rants if I

977
00:33:50,460 --> 00:33:51,860
recorded stuff this morning.

978
00:33:52,220 --> 00:33:54,900
But the one was it was about the

979
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:58,720
problem with the insurance companies have is that

980
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,540
the state capped what you can charge.

981
00:34:01,580 --> 00:34:03,140
And they said, oh, we don't like that.

982
00:34:03,860 --> 00:34:06,300
And then they said they said also because

983
00:34:06,300 --> 00:34:10,620
of regulations in California, which is an overregulated

984
00:34:10,620 --> 00:34:12,980
state, someone was designed to run businesses out

985
00:34:12,980 --> 00:34:15,320
of the state because of regulations.

986
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:18,139
The cost of rebuilding is so high in

987
00:34:18,139 --> 00:34:19,960
California compared to any place else in the

988
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,659
country that it makes it impossible to insure

989
00:34:23,659 --> 00:34:26,739
people because to rebuild a two million dollar

990
00:34:26,739 --> 00:34:28,199
house might cost three million.

991
00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:31,420
I mean, they just got fed up with

992
00:34:31,420 --> 00:34:31,580
it.

993
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,199
It's not like, you know, well, we're leaving

994
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:35,560
because there might be a fire.

995
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,940
I think the insurance companies are being wrongly

996
00:34:37,940 --> 00:34:38,820
accused here.

997
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,020
No, where's the fun in that?

998
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,460
Well, I'm just trying to be a little

999
00:34:44,460 --> 00:34:44,980
objective.

1000
00:34:45,340 --> 00:34:47,480
No, we we have to blame it on

1001
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:52,960
insurance companies, black people, lesbians and Gavin Newscombe.

1002
00:34:53,139 --> 00:34:55,460
That's well, there's also a couple other elements

1003
00:34:55,460 --> 00:34:57,920
at play that have that are starting to

1004
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,100
crop up, which is how did these fires

1005
00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:00,700
get started?

1006
00:35:00,700 --> 00:35:01,900
A lot of people think it may be

1007
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:03,440
homeless encampments.

1008
00:35:05,700 --> 00:35:07,780
Homeless encampments, because when the winds start blowing,

1009
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,340
they get cold and they light fires to

1010
00:35:09,340 --> 00:35:11,360
warm up burn barrels.

1011
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,180
That's one possibility, which is interesting.

1012
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,780
And then there's a report that that it

1013
00:35:16,780 --> 00:35:19,280
wasn't the wind so much that kept the

1014
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,980
tankers from dumping crap on the fires as

1015
00:35:23,980 --> 00:35:25,460
a fact that there was a no fly

1016
00:35:25,460 --> 00:35:28,480
zone because Biden flew in right during the

1017
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,760
fires and they put up a no fly.

1018
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,560
Yeah, they put up a no time for

1019
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,580
quite a long time.

1020
00:35:33,660 --> 00:35:37,040
But I'm not sure that that excludes firefighting

1021
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:37,460
planes.

1022
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:38,820
I'm not convinced.

1023
00:35:38,860 --> 00:35:40,000
You have to look into it.

1024
00:35:40,100 --> 00:35:40,520
I did.

1025
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,020
But there was a report.

1026
00:35:42,260 --> 00:35:44,340
I have not confirmed this, but there was

1027
00:35:44,340 --> 00:35:46,040
a report on one of the radio stations.

1028
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:47,580
Mimi told me about it.

1029
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,240
And she was all pissed off.

1030
00:35:49,260 --> 00:35:50,780
And she says, yeah, I was listening to

1031
00:35:50,780 --> 00:35:51,040
the radio.

1032
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,360
And they were saying, I said, no, I

1033
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,180
said the same thing you just said doesn't

1034
00:35:55,180 --> 00:35:56,580
sound right to me.

1035
00:35:56,580 --> 00:35:58,680
And I have not been able to prove

1036
00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:58,820
it.

1037
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,500
Well, I saw the no time and and

1038
00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:02,560
notice to airmen.

1039
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,220
I mean, there's there's always going to be

1040
00:36:04,220 --> 00:36:05,720
exclusions to that.

1041
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,440
And the no fly zone was for VIP

1042
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:08,180
movement.

1043
00:36:08,820 --> 00:36:11,900
And but still, I'm pretty sure that there's

1044
00:36:11,900 --> 00:36:12,420
precedence.

1045
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,800
You can if you if you're military.

1046
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,540
Yeah, you're pretty sure we have to go.

1047
00:36:16,860 --> 00:36:17,020
Yeah.

1048
00:36:17,140 --> 00:36:19,020
I mean, that's I'm pretty sure that's not

1049
00:36:19,020 --> 00:36:19,320
a problem.

1050
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:20,000
Look into it.

1051
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:20,360
Yeah.

1052
00:36:22,530 --> 00:36:23,350
Well, there it is.

1053
00:36:23,350 --> 00:36:25,750
Do we want to dedicate the entire broadcast

1054
00:36:25,750 --> 00:36:26,410
to this, John?

1055
00:36:26,490 --> 00:36:27,730
Or can we move on?

1056
00:36:28,690 --> 00:36:30,930
Do I have any other good clips?

1057
00:36:32,390 --> 00:36:34,030
Because, you know, that's what everyone else is

1058
00:36:34,030 --> 00:36:34,310
doing.

1059
00:36:35,010 --> 00:36:36,130
Yeah, that's what you do.

1060
00:36:37,610 --> 00:36:39,570
It's an old rule of.

1061
00:36:39,890 --> 00:36:41,370
Broadcasting broadcast news.

1062
00:36:41,530 --> 00:36:44,530
Yeah, it's what everyone's talking about.

1063
00:36:44,610 --> 00:36:45,670
Why aren't you talking about it?

1064
00:36:46,530 --> 00:36:48,670
I do have two BS clips.

1065
00:36:48,750 --> 00:36:50,470
I got them noted as BS.

1066
00:36:50,710 --> 00:36:51,790
So that's got to be interesting.

1067
00:36:51,930 --> 00:36:52,470
That's always.

1068
00:36:52,470 --> 00:36:54,430
This is fire BS, the museum.

1069
00:36:55,430 --> 00:36:55,910
Museum.

1070
00:36:56,370 --> 00:36:58,410
What is gone now?

1071
00:36:58,510 --> 00:36:59,970
Or what is still in danger at the

1072
00:36:59,970 --> 00:37:00,210
moment?

1073
00:37:00,710 --> 00:37:03,290
Well, as well, this is a two minute,

1074
00:37:03,490 --> 00:37:04,590
45 second clip.

1075
00:37:05,230 --> 00:37:06,390
Is that the intent?

1076
00:37:07,110 --> 00:37:09,010
I think it might be the other clip

1077
00:37:09,010 --> 00:37:09,510
included.

1078
00:37:09,690 --> 00:37:10,710
You're going to have to interrupt.

1079
00:37:10,870 --> 00:37:11,730
That's all right.

1080
00:37:11,770 --> 00:37:14,310
You well know, Elsa, Los Angeles is huge.

1081
00:37:14,430 --> 00:37:16,870
And most places listeners might be familiar with,

1082
00:37:16,870 --> 00:37:19,150
with Hollywood Walk of Fame, for example.

1083
00:37:19,450 --> 00:37:21,230
Those are quite far from the fires.

1084
00:37:21,230 --> 00:37:24,410
But there's a beloved place, Will Rogers State

1085
00:37:24,410 --> 00:37:25,370
Historic Park.

1086
00:37:25,650 --> 00:37:27,890
It has the Actors Ranch House, a lot

1087
00:37:27,890 --> 00:37:28,910
of Western memorabilia.

1088
00:37:29,070 --> 00:37:30,630
It's on the U.S. National Register of

1089
00:37:30,630 --> 00:37:31,330
Historic Places.

1090
00:37:31,570 --> 00:37:34,090
That's right in the Palisades fire zone.

1091
00:37:34,490 --> 00:37:36,530
And the fire has burned the ranch house

1092
00:37:36,530 --> 00:37:39,930
basically to the ground and has impacted the

1093
00:37:39,930 --> 00:37:40,690
surrounding property.

1094
00:37:40,910 --> 00:37:42,610
And officials are out there assessing the full

1095
00:37:42,610 --> 00:37:43,550
extent of the damage.

1096
00:37:43,830 --> 00:37:44,790
I mean, when I heard that news, I

1097
00:37:44,790 --> 00:37:46,650
was devastated because I always peeked through the

1098
00:37:46,650 --> 00:37:49,090
windows when I hike around that area, imagining

1099
00:37:49,090 --> 00:37:50,190
what it would have been like to live

1100
00:37:50,190 --> 00:37:50,510
there.

1101
00:37:50,510 --> 00:37:51,410
That's right.

1102
00:37:51,490 --> 00:37:52,630
It's just awful news.

1103
00:37:52,850 --> 00:37:55,270
The fire also destroyed parts of Topanga State

1104
00:37:55,270 --> 00:37:58,470
Park, including the historic Topanga Ranch Motel, which

1105
00:37:58,470 --> 00:38:00,610
was once owned by William Randolph Hearst.

1106
00:38:01,070 --> 00:38:03,450
And meanwhile, the Getty Villa has had a

1107
00:38:03,450 --> 00:38:04,130
close call.

1108
00:38:04,330 --> 00:38:06,810
It's an estate with important Greek and Roman

1109
00:38:06,810 --> 00:38:07,950
sculpture and other artifacts.

1110
00:38:08,070 --> 00:38:10,270
It's also located in the Palisades fire zone.

1111
00:38:10,710 --> 00:38:12,790
And trees and brush were burning there yesterday.

1112
00:38:13,230 --> 00:38:14,930
Are all the staff members safe at the

1113
00:38:14,930 --> 00:38:15,130
moment?

1114
00:38:15,310 --> 00:38:17,750
And what about the buildings and the art

1115
00:38:17,750 --> 00:38:18,030
there?

1116
00:38:18,030 --> 00:38:21,190
So far, staff buildings and collections at the

1117
00:38:21,190 --> 00:38:21,830
Villa are safe.

1118
00:38:21,930 --> 00:38:23,030
I spoke with Michael Rogers.

1119
00:38:23,130 --> 00:38:24,790
He's the Getty's director of facilities.

1120
00:38:25,210 --> 00:38:27,790
We have a strong culture of safety within

1121
00:38:27,790 --> 00:38:28,730
the institution.

1122
00:38:29,550 --> 00:38:33,370
We think about emergencies and preparedness constantly.

1123
00:38:33,830 --> 00:38:36,170
What has the Getty been doing specifically to

1124
00:38:36,170 --> 00:38:37,370
keep fires at bay?

1125
00:38:37,950 --> 00:38:39,570
Rogers says as soon as they saw the

1126
00:38:39,570 --> 00:38:41,930
warnings, they made sure they were properly staffed

1127
00:38:41,930 --> 00:38:44,270
and the emergency services had clear places to

1128
00:38:44,270 --> 00:38:45,170
do their work on site.

1129
00:38:45,170 --> 00:38:47,950
And throughout the year, they've been preparing and

1130
00:38:47,950 --> 00:38:50,150
planning for these kinds of emergencies, for example,

1131
00:38:50,190 --> 00:38:53,030
cutting back vegetation, doing fuel reduction around the

1132
00:38:53,030 --> 00:38:54,290
site and its borders.

1133
00:38:54,950 --> 00:38:56,850
So should a fire come on like it

1134
00:38:56,850 --> 00:38:59,470
did, it doesn't have as much energy in

1135
00:38:59,470 --> 00:39:02,810
it to effectively damage your buildings and your

1136
00:39:02,810 --> 00:39:03,330
surroundings.

1137
00:39:03,870 --> 00:39:05,350
Where is this from?

1138
00:39:07,050 --> 00:39:07,570
What?

1139
00:39:08,430 --> 00:39:09,230
The report?

1140
00:39:09,450 --> 00:39:10,430
Yeah, where is it from?

1141
00:39:10,930 --> 00:39:11,690
Well, I don't know.

1142
00:39:11,790 --> 00:39:12,290
Let me think.

1143
00:39:12,290 --> 00:39:13,190
Is it NPR?

1144
00:39:13,530 --> 00:39:14,170
Is it NPR?

1145
00:39:15,590 --> 00:39:16,370
What do you think?

1146
00:39:16,870 --> 00:39:19,090
So let me ask you.

1147
00:39:20,190 --> 00:39:21,790
So we know the narrative.

1148
00:39:21,990 --> 00:39:23,290
The narrative has been set.

1149
00:39:23,410 --> 00:39:26,770
The narrative is firmly planted in everybody's mind.

1150
00:39:27,110 --> 00:39:27,910
It's government.

1151
00:39:28,310 --> 00:39:29,350
It's grift.

1152
00:39:29,510 --> 00:39:30,850
It's insurance companies.

1153
00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:32,790
It's incompetence.

1154
00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:33,950
It's California.

1155
00:39:34,930 --> 00:39:38,570
Will the counter narrative be climate change?

1156
00:39:39,770 --> 00:39:42,090
I mean, well, I'm wondering how they're going

1157
00:39:42,090 --> 00:39:42,530
to see it.

1158
00:39:42,610 --> 00:39:44,230
We had that one clip that doesn't mention

1159
00:39:44,230 --> 00:39:46,390
climate change, although you always like to bring

1160
00:39:46,390 --> 00:39:49,870
up that 1880 material, which is like really

1161
00:39:49,870 --> 00:39:52,190
rebutts, rebutts, rebutts.

1162
00:39:52,230 --> 00:39:52,770
We've been doing that.

1163
00:39:53,050 --> 00:39:55,250
Rebutts it, I think, as well as anything.

1164
00:39:55,370 --> 00:39:56,650
We've been doing that for over a decade.

1165
00:39:56,970 --> 00:39:58,990
California is notorious for these things.

1166
00:39:59,390 --> 00:40:02,050
That's why since that period, that's why they

1167
00:40:02,050 --> 00:40:03,990
went through so much trouble over the years

1168
00:40:03,990 --> 00:40:06,330
when I was a kid doing the control

1169
00:40:06,330 --> 00:40:08,910
burns and doing the fire breaks and just

1170
00:40:08,910 --> 00:40:10,570
having forestry.

1171
00:40:10,770 --> 00:40:13,070
You know, there's a whole college of forestry

1172
00:40:13,070 --> 00:40:14,270
at the University of California.

1173
00:40:14,450 --> 00:40:16,490
It's all they do is work on the

1174
00:40:16,490 --> 00:40:18,910
whole, build dams, do water control.

1175
00:40:19,090 --> 00:40:21,370
Everything was done for the purpose of not

1176
00:40:21,370 --> 00:40:22,510
letting this happen.

1177
00:40:23,390 --> 00:40:24,990
And, but it's like one of those things

1178
00:40:24,990 --> 00:40:27,130
I always like to, it's always like the

1179
00:40:27,130 --> 00:40:31,430
rules that people put in place, like you'll

1180
00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:33,170
have a stock market collapse.

1181
00:40:33,310 --> 00:40:34,810
And so they'll put all these rules.

1182
00:40:34,930 --> 00:40:36,470
They'll say, okay, we can't do this anymore.

1183
00:40:36,830 --> 00:40:37,810
We can't do that anymore.

1184
00:40:37,950 --> 00:40:38,170
We can't.

1185
00:40:38,290 --> 00:40:39,810
So let's put these rules in place.

1186
00:40:39,890 --> 00:40:41,810
And then 20 of 30 years go by

1187
00:40:41,810 --> 00:40:43,810
and people look around saying, why do we

1188
00:40:43,810 --> 00:40:45,030
have these stupid rules?

1189
00:40:45,270 --> 00:40:46,470
Nothing's going on.

1190
00:40:47,150 --> 00:40:48,850
Let's take the rules out.

1191
00:40:49,350 --> 00:40:50,130
Yeah, yeah.

1192
00:40:51,050 --> 00:40:52,890
You know, that's like the banking rules where

1193
00:40:52,890 --> 00:40:55,290
you can't have investment banks with the, that

1194
00:40:55,290 --> 00:40:57,150
are also just commercial banks.

1195
00:40:57,290 --> 00:40:59,110
You can't, you can't do all this kind

1196
00:40:59,110 --> 00:41:00,630
of thing, which was all part of the

1197
00:41:00,630 --> 00:41:01,610
29 crash.

1198
00:41:01,790 --> 00:41:02,670
The Chinese wall.

1199
00:41:03,390 --> 00:41:05,790
And so you created all these rules that

1200
00:41:05,790 --> 00:41:07,330
stop it from happening.

1201
00:41:07,930 --> 00:41:10,030
And then after a period of time, since

1202
00:41:10,030 --> 00:41:12,090
never happens, why do we have these rules?

1203
00:41:12,170 --> 00:41:13,110
This never happens.

1204
00:41:13,410 --> 00:41:14,290
Glass-Steagall, right?

1205
00:41:14,470 --> 00:41:15,470
Glass-Steagall where investment.

1206
00:41:15,470 --> 00:41:17,290
Glass-Steagall is a good example, but this

1207
00:41:17,290 --> 00:41:18,610
is just on and on.

1208
00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:20,770
And so California, just idiot.

1209
00:41:21,730 --> 00:41:23,350
Why do we have these dams?

1210
00:41:23,370 --> 00:41:24,010
I don't know.

1211
00:41:24,570 --> 00:41:27,270
This is keeping the salmon from being fished

1212
00:41:27,270 --> 00:41:27,930
by the Indians.

1213
00:41:28,070 --> 00:41:29,210
Let's take the dams out.

1214
00:41:29,410 --> 00:41:30,790
It's unbelievable.

1215
00:41:31,250 --> 00:41:34,590
But this is just a cycle of stupidity.

1216
00:41:34,590 --> 00:41:37,970
Well, what I thought was rather, rather humorous,

1217
00:41:38,070 --> 00:41:40,070
you know, Trump is out trolling every single

1218
00:41:40,070 --> 00:41:41,130
country in the world.

1219
00:41:41,190 --> 00:41:43,530
It seems he's trolling everybody.

1220
00:41:44,610 --> 00:41:47,990
And a, the leader of the green party

1221
00:41:47,990 --> 00:41:50,350
in Canada had a rebuttal.

1222
00:41:50,430 --> 00:41:52,770
And I'm, I'm kind of thinking, yeah, go

1223
00:41:52,770 --> 00:41:53,310
for it.

1224
00:41:53,370 --> 00:41:55,750
Hey Donald, have we got a deal for

1225
00:41:55,750 --> 00:41:56,210
you?

1226
00:41:56,390 --> 00:41:58,310
You think we want to be the 51st

1227
00:41:58,310 --> 00:41:58,590
state?

1228
00:41:58,730 --> 00:42:01,010
Nah, but maybe California would like to be

1229
00:42:01,010 --> 00:42:01,870
the 11th province.

1230
00:42:02,170 --> 00:42:02,390
Yes.

1231
00:42:02,610 --> 00:42:03,310
How about it?

1232
00:42:03,310 --> 00:42:05,570
California, Oregon.

1233
00:42:05,930 --> 00:42:06,210
Yes.

1234
00:42:06,490 --> 00:42:07,010
Washington.

1235
00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:07,750
Yes.

1236
00:42:07,930 --> 00:42:10,010
You're, you've got geography in common, but not

1237
00:42:10,010 --> 00:42:12,410
only that, we've already got a carbon trading

1238
00:42:12,410 --> 00:42:14,750
system between California and Quebec.

1239
00:42:15,230 --> 00:42:18,670
We've got some strong alliances on our West

1240
00:42:18,670 --> 00:42:19,810
coast from British Columbia.

1241
00:42:19,990 --> 00:42:21,910
There's been a lot of academic papers on

1242
00:42:21,910 --> 00:42:23,090
the idea of Cascadia.

1243
00:42:23,350 --> 00:42:28,390
So California, Governor Newsom and Washington state Jay

1244
00:42:28,390 --> 00:42:31,550
Inslee and newly elected governor of Oregon, Tina

1245
00:42:31,550 --> 00:42:32,010
Kotick.

1246
00:42:32,070 --> 00:42:32,590
How about it?

1247
00:42:32,590 --> 00:42:32,950
Yeah.

1248
00:42:33,070 --> 00:42:34,410
I think this is a great idea.

1249
00:42:34,670 --> 00:42:35,790
I, I am all for it.

1250
00:42:35,810 --> 00:42:38,470
We should give California, Oregon and Washington state

1251
00:42:38,470 --> 00:42:39,990
all to Canada.

1252
00:42:40,490 --> 00:42:42,870
Make them the 11th, 12th and 13th provinces.

1253
00:42:43,070 --> 00:42:43,790
This is now.

1254
00:42:44,110 --> 00:42:45,390
No, no, they're all three would be one

1255
00:42:45,390 --> 00:42:45,690
problem.

1256
00:42:45,790 --> 00:42:46,550
Just one big problem.

1257
00:42:47,230 --> 00:42:47,590
Yeah.

1258
00:42:47,590 --> 00:42:48,330
One big province.

1259
00:42:48,390 --> 00:42:49,630
I think this is a great idea.

1260
00:42:50,130 --> 00:42:51,710
You know, you could, you could start saying

1261
00:42:51,710 --> 00:42:52,170
a boot.

1262
00:42:52,890 --> 00:42:53,870
I can say a boot.

1263
00:42:53,930 --> 00:42:55,050
I can talk like a Canadian.

1264
00:42:55,330 --> 00:42:57,110
It doesn't take a lot of talent.

1265
00:43:00,110 --> 00:43:01,690
And I'd be glad to do it.

1266
00:43:01,690 --> 00:43:03,730
And wow.

1267
00:43:04,270 --> 00:43:05,870
I never thought this would happen.

1268
00:43:07,610 --> 00:43:10,070
John Fetterman agrees with you.

1269
00:43:11,610 --> 00:43:13,710
John Fetterman is all in with you.

1270
00:43:14,330 --> 00:43:14,690
Yeah.

1271
00:43:14,910 --> 00:43:16,710
When it comes to Greenland, there's a lot

1272
00:43:16,710 --> 00:43:18,230
of talk about Greenland, for example.

1273
00:43:18,790 --> 00:43:20,110
And I know a lot of, there's a

1274
00:43:20,110 --> 00:43:21,250
lot of freak outs, you know?

1275
00:43:21,270 --> 00:43:22,910
And of course I would never support taking

1276
00:43:22,910 --> 00:43:24,730
it by force, but I do think it's,

1277
00:43:24,830 --> 00:43:26,870
I, I do think it's a responsible conversation

1278
00:43:26,870 --> 00:43:29,710
if they were open to acquiring it and,

1279
00:43:29,770 --> 00:43:31,470
you know, whether just buying it outright.

1280
00:43:31,910 --> 00:43:33,650
I mean, if anyone think that's bonkers, it's

1281
00:43:33,650 --> 00:43:36,270
like, well, remember the Louisiana purchase?

1282
00:43:36,610 --> 00:43:38,950
I think Alaska was pretty, pretty a great

1283
00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:40,070
deal to $50 million.

1284
00:43:40,390 --> 00:43:41,930
I think it was, it was record.

1285
00:43:42,030 --> 00:43:44,570
It was, it was referred to as Seward's

1286
00:43:44,570 --> 00:43:44,870
Folly.

1287
00:43:45,370 --> 00:43:46,770
And now that was Alaska now.

1288
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:48,650
So, I mean, you know, open to having

1289
00:43:48,650 --> 00:43:51,590
all kinds of conversations as well.

1290
00:43:51,730 --> 00:43:53,910
And now I don't think we, it's not

1291
00:43:53,910 --> 00:43:54,910
helpful to freak out.

1292
00:43:55,950 --> 00:43:57,690
But some things might work out.

1293
00:43:57,770 --> 00:43:58,510
Some may not.

1294
00:43:58,510 --> 00:44:00,210
But that's part of ongoing dialogue.

1295
00:44:01,950 --> 00:44:02,770
Ongoing dialogue.

1296
00:44:03,370 --> 00:44:04,990
Well, this would be the third attempt to

1297
00:44:04,990 --> 00:44:06,550
get Greenland.

1298
00:44:06,590 --> 00:44:09,170
This happened in 1867 with Johnson.

1299
00:44:09,770 --> 00:44:12,470
I actually have a good backgrounder, which surprisingly

1300
00:44:12,470 --> 00:44:15,170
came from Turkish radio and television, which is

1301
00:44:15,170 --> 00:44:18,150
kind of runs down the whole gamut of

1302
00:44:18,150 --> 00:44:20,350
what it is, why it's important, the history

1303
00:44:20,350 --> 00:44:20,710
of it.

1304
00:44:20,750 --> 00:44:21,110
It's good.

1305
00:44:21,330 --> 00:44:23,750
Many Americans might struggle to point out Greenland

1306
00:44:23,750 --> 00:44:24,290
on a map.

1307
00:44:24,470 --> 00:44:26,450
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

1308
00:44:26,610 --> 00:44:27,550
Easy does it, Turk.

1309
00:44:27,550 --> 00:44:30,710
But anyone interested in U.S. security will

1310
00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:32,250
likely have known for some time.

1311
00:44:32,850 --> 00:44:35,130
The world's largest islands may have the sort

1312
00:44:35,130 --> 00:44:38,250
of resources Washington needs to protect critical industries,

1313
00:44:38,810 --> 00:44:40,930
including technology and defense.

1314
00:44:41,410 --> 00:44:44,090
The island is an autonomous territory of Denmark

1315
00:44:44,090 --> 00:44:47,230
and home to just 56,000 people.

1316
00:44:47,450 --> 00:44:49,890
But it covers an area of 2.1

1317
00:44:49,890 --> 00:44:51,410
million square kilometers.

1318
00:44:51,770 --> 00:44:54,390
That's larger than the combined sizes of France,

1319
00:44:54,630 --> 00:44:58,230
Germany, Spain, the UK, Italy, and other smaller

1320
00:44:58,230 --> 00:44:59,290
European countries.

1321
00:44:59,710 --> 00:45:01,870
Its capital, Nuuk, is closer to New York

1322
00:45:01,870 --> 00:45:03,090
than it is to Copenhagen.

1323
00:45:03,570 --> 00:45:05,970
And this location makes it hugely valuable to

1324
00:45:05,970 --> 00:45:08,490
the U.S. Situated uniquely between North America

1325
00:45:08,490 --> 00:45:10,630
and Europe, it's long been thought of as

1326
00:45:10,630 --> 00:45:12,590
key to defending the U.S. from missile

1327
00:45:12,590 --> 00:45:13,050
attacks.

1328
00:45:13,510 --> 00:45:15,290
So much so, the U.S. has an

1329
00:45:15,290 --> 00:45:17,570
air defense base in the island's northwest called

1330
00:45:17,570 --> 00:45:20,250
Pacific Space Base, which has a missile warning

1331
00:45:20,250 --> 00:45:20,550
system.

1332
00:45:21,050 --> 00:45:23,710
It's also hugely significant for international trade.

1333
00:45:23,710 --> 00:45:26,650
The Northwest Passage shipping lane runs along its

1334
00:45:26,650 --> 00:45:28,970
coastline and is part of the Greenland-Iceland

1335
00:45:28,970 --> 00:45:31,430
-UK gap, a key strategic route.

1336
00:45:32,070 --> 00:45:34,850
Perhaps most significant, however, Greenland is thought to

1337
00:45:34,850 --> 00:45:37,370
contain deposits of rare earth minerals, as well

1338
00:45:37,370 --> 00:45:38,270
as oil and gas.

1339
00:45:38,810 --> 00:45:40,570
The minerals are in high demand as they're

1340
00:45:40,570 --> 00:45:42,850
used in things like electric cars, as well

1341
00:45:42,850 --> 00:45:45,210
as green energy tech, not to mention other

1342
00:45:45,210 --> 00:45:46,390
tech, including military.

1343
00:45:47,470 --> 00:45:49,890
Climate change and melting polar ice could make

1344
00:45:49,890 --> 00:45:52,850
these natural resources more accessible and cheaper to

1345
00:45:52,850 --> 00:45:53,410
get hold of.

1346
00:45:53,410 --> 00:45:55,730
As well as opening up more shipping routes.

1347
00:45:56,810 --> 00:45:58,590
Donald Trump isn't the first U.S. president

1348
00:45:58,590 --> 00:46:00,490
to put Greenland on his shopping list either.

1349
00:46:01,050 --> 00:46:03,590
President Andrew Johnson considered buying the island in

1350
00:46:03,590 --> 00:46:06,770
1867 when the American government purchased Alaska.

1351
00:46:07,350 --> 00:46:09,910
After the Second World War, Harry Truman tried

1352
00:46:09,910 --> 00:46:12,970
again, offering Denmark $100 million for it.

1353
00:46:13,550 --> 00:46:16,410
Greenland currently relies on a $500 million annual

1354
00:46:16,410 --> 00:46:18,290
grant from Denmark, which is a key reason

1355
00:46:18,290 --> 00:46:20,270
it has refrained from declaring independence.

1356
00:46:20,750 --> 00:46:22,970
It is, though, trying to boost business and

1357
00:46:22,970 --> 00:46:24,190
rely less on fishing.

1358
00:46:24,850 --> 00:46:29,310
Yeah, I think Greenland is making waves about

1359
00:46:29,310 --> 00:46:29,590
this.

1360
00:46:29,890 --> 00:46:32,130
Imagine there's 56,000 people.

1361
00:46:33,190 --> 00:46:34,970
Like, we could all make a bundle on

1362
00:46:34,970 --> 00:46:35,270
this.

1363
00:46:35,990 --> 00:46:37,570
Well, Don Jr.'s there.

1364
00:46:37,830 --> 00:46:39,010
No, he's already back.

1365
00:46:39,770 --> 00:46:40,190
Oh, he is.

1366
00:46:40,570 --> 00:46:41,930
Well, he supposedly went...

1367
00:46:41,930 --> 00:46:43,670
Well, I saw him when he went, and

1368
00:46:43,670 --> 00:46:46,110
I didn't see him personally, but he was

1369
00:46:46,110 --> 00:46:48,370
there, and it seems that the Greenlanders like

1370
00:46:48,370 --> 00:46:50,730
to see him, and you may be right.

1371
00:46:50,730 --> 00:46:53,170
I mean, Denmark's not too pleased about this,

1372
00:46:53,210 --> 00:46:54,990
but they can get some serious money.

1373
00:46:55,950 --> 00:46:56,910
I have a clip.

1374
00:46:57,050 --> 00:46:57,530
I have a clip.

1375
00:46:57,830 --> 00:46:59,490
Greenland is not for sale.

1376
00:46:59,590 --> 00:47:01,270
This is what said both the Danish prime

1377
00:47:01,270 --> 00:47:03,570
minister and Greenland's prime minister.

1378
00:47:04,070 --> 00:47:06,850
Clearly, Donald Trump's interest in the Arctic territory

1379
00:47:06,850 --> 00:47:09,630
has generated a lot of talks here in

1380
00:47:09,630 --> 00:47:12,090
Denmark and has made headlines, but the Danish

1381
00:47:12,090 --> 00:47:13,970
prime minister is calling for calm.

1382
00:47:14,390 --> 00:47:17,210
Mette Frederiksen has said that she does not

1383
00:47:17,210 --> 00:47:19,310
believe that Donald Trump's interest in Greenland would

1384
00:47:19,310 --> 00:47:22,490
actually result in any action, and she stressed

1385
00:47:22,490 --> 00:47:25,630
that Greenland belongs to the Greenlandic people and

1386
00:47:25,630 --> 00:47:28,850
that any conversation about Greenland should start and

1387
00:47:28,850 --> 00:47:31,490
end in Nuuk, not in Florida, not in

1388
00:47:31,490 --> 00:47:33,790
Washington, and not even in Copenhagen.

1389
00:47:34,270 --> 00:47:37,670
This is also what said a Greenlandic member

1390
00:47:37,670 --> 00:47:39,310
of the Danish parliament yesterday.

1391
00:47:39,750 --> 00:47:41,690
She said that it is not up to

1392
00:47:41,690 --> 00:47:43,670
the United States to decide what the future

1393
00:47:43,670 --> 00:47:46,110
of Greenland is, but this is up to

1394
00:47:46,110 --> 00:47:47,610
the people in Greenland.

1395
00:47:47,910 --> 00:47:50,110
On social media as well, people have largely

1396
00:47:50,110 --> 00:47:52,770
condemned what Donald Trump has said, but some

1397
00:47:52,770 --> 00:47:55,410
in Greenland have actually welcomed the U.S.

1398
00:47:55,570 --> 00:47:58,930
interest in the region, saying that this should

1399
00:47:58,930 --> 00:48:01,010
be a wake-up call for Denmark and

1400
00:48:01,010 --> 00:48:04,070
that this could actually speed up efforts towards

1401
00:48:04,070 --> 00:48:05,730
an independence from Denmark.

1402
00:48:06,110 --> 00:48:08,190
Oh, this is what we call the catbird

1403
00:48:08,190 --> 00:48:08,510
seat.

1404
00:48:08,630 --> 00:48:08,810
Hey.

1405
00:48:09,090 --> 00:48:11,190
I think this is going to happen.

1406
00:48:11,710 --> 00:48:12,730
I'm with you.

1407
00:48:12,930 --> 00:48:13,930
Why wouldn't it?

1408
00:48:14,990 --> 00:48:16,170
What's Denmark gonna do?

1409
00:48:17,270 --> 00:48:18,730
Well, they're not gonna, I mean...

1410
00:48:18,730 --> 00:48:19,610
They'll get some money.

1411
00:48:19,950 --> 00:48:21,490
They'll send an invoice.

1412
00:48:21,790 --> 00:48:24,430
They just said, they just said, I think

1413
00:48:24,430 --> 00:48:27,290
this is the key, it's up to the

1414
00:48:27,290 --> 00:48:28,190
Greenlanders.

1415
00:48:28,410 --> 00:48:28,670
Yeah.

1416
00:48:29,790 --> 00:48:31,090
Well, they're screwed.

1417
00:48:31,310 --> 00:48:32,290
I mean, if you're gonna have a choice,

1418
00:48:32,310 --> 00:48:33,570
you wanna be part of Denmark, you wanna

1419
00:48:33,570 --> 00:48:36,050
be part of the United States, and we're

1420
00:48:36,050 --> 00:48:38,910
gonna probably, you know, besides protecting you from

1421
00:48:38,910 --> 00:48:40,890
all kinds of stuff, we're gonna bribe you.

1422
00:48:41,050 --> 00:48:41,350
Yeah.

1423
00:48:41,890 --> 00:48:43,150
The way we love to do.

1424
00:48:43,270 --> 00:48:45,490
You're gonna have nothing but, you know, you're

1425
00:48:45,490 --> 00:48:47,930
gonna eat a lot better, rebuild, you're gonna

1426
00:48:47,930 --> 00:48:48,570
build bigger.

1427
00:48:49,410 --> 00:48:50,190
Who knows?

1428
00:48:50,350 --> 00:48:52,190
But whatever the case, it just sounds like

1429
00:48:52,190 --> 00:48:53,910
something that's just...

1430
00:48:54,470 --> 00:48:56,110
And I don't know what all these pundits

1431
00:48:56,110 --> 00:48:57,510
are gonna do about it, because they've all

1432
00:48:57,510 --> 00:49:00,050
been poo-pooing the idea and thinking Trump's

1433
00:49:00,050 --> 00:49:00,550
nuts.

1434
00:49:01,010 --> 00:49:03,670
They have a very short view of history.

1435
00:49:04,030 --> 00:49:05,890
I mean, it wasn't that long ago that

1436
00:49:05,890 --> 00:49:08,010
we purchased Alaska and Hawaii.

1437
00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:12,190
We never, we kind of, we never purchased

1438
00:49:12,190 --> 00:49:12,750
Hawaii.

1439
00:49:13,290 --> 00:49:14,490
No, we kind of...

1440
00:49:14,490 --> 00:49:14,970
Took it.

1441
00:49:15,090 --> 00:49:15,410
Took it.

1442
00:49:16,470 --> 00:49:17,750
We kind of said, it's ours.

1443
00:49:17,830 --> 00:49:18,810
It's like Puerto Rico.

1444
00:49:18,970 --> 00:49:20,670
We never purchased Puerto Rico.

1445
00:49:21,110 --> 00:49:22,310
Just said, this is ours.

1446
00:49:23,310 --> 00:49:25,030
It's like, you know, we're gonna use this

1447
00:49:25,030 --> 00:49:25,990
as a base here.

1448
00:49:25,990 --> 00:49:28,530
I mean, we come across as big bullies,

1449
00:49:28,670 --> 00:49:29,850
which is okay.

1450
00:49:30,330 --> 00:49:31,570
I mean, we need to shake up.

1451
00:49:31,630 --> 00:49:33,050
I think that a global shake-up is

1452
00:49:33,050 --> 00:49:33,290
good.

1453
00:49:33,370 --> 00:49:34,510
Put everybody on notice.

1454
00:49:35,370 --> 00:49:37,790
But at the same time, it's brought humor

1455
00:49:37,790 --> 00:49:38,870
back into politics.

1456
00:49:39,170 --> 00:49:40,570
I'm kind of digging it.

1457
00:49:41,090 --> 00:49:44,430
So, you know, here's, this is ABC.

1458
00:49:44,430 --> 00:49:48,270
Oh, Trump, he's got all these crazy ideas.

1459
00:49:48,370 --> 00:49:51,070
This morning, President-elect Trump doubling down on

1460
00:49:51,070 --> 00:49:52,870
his push to take over Greenland and the

1461
00:49:52,870 --> 00:49:55,490
Panama Canal, refusing to rule out using the

1462
00:49:55,490 --> 00:49:56,550
military to do it.

1463
00:49:56,650 --> 00:49:59,650
Can you assure the world that as you

1464
00:49:59,650 --> 00:50:03,790
try to get control of these areas, you

1465
00:50:03,790 --> 00:50:06,110
are not going to use military or economic

1466
00:50:06,110 --> 00:50:06,790
coercion?

1467
00:50:07,070 --> 00:50:08,850
No, no, I can't assure you on either

1468
00:50:08,850 --> 00:50:09,490
of those two.

1469
00:50:09,990 --> 00:50:11,670
But I can say this.

1470
00:50:12,220 --> 00:50:14,530
We need them for economic security.

1471
00:50:14,630 --> 00:50:17,170
Trump has suggested buying Greenland in the past,

1472
00:50:17,310 --> 00:50:19,470
but the prime minister of Denmark says it's

1473
00:50:19,470 --> 00:50:20,270
not for sale.

1474
00:50:20,510 --> 00:50:23,030
Donald Trump Jr. visited the territory yesterday, but

1475
00:50:23,030 --> 00:50:24,770
did not meet with government officials.

1476
00:50:25,350 --> 00:50:27,390
Critics say the president-elect should be focused

1477
00:50:27,390 --> 00:50:29,790
on more pressing issues like grocery prices.

1478
00:50:30,070 --> 00:50:34,710
As for the Panama Canal, Panama's foreign affairs

1479
00:50:34,710 --> 00:50:37,590
secretary saying the sovereignty of our canal is

1480
00:50:37,590 --> 00:50:38,530
non-negotiable.

1481
00:50:38,790 --> 00:50:41,130
Trump also floating the idea of renaming the

1482
00:50:41,130 --> 00:50:41,850
Gulf of Mexico.

1483
00:50:42,190 --> 00:50:44,350
The Gulf of America, what a beautiful name,

1484
00:50:44,650 --> 00:50:45,370
and it's appropriate.

1485
00:50:45,670 --> 00:50:47,550
Changing the Gulf of Mexico's name in American

1486
00:50:47,550 --> 00:50:50,990
documentation is technically possible, but there's no guarantee

1487
00:50:50,990 --> 00:50:53,410
other countries would go along with the rebrand.

1488
00:50:53,990 --> 00:50:56,210
The rebrand, it's a rebranding.

1489
00:50:56,370 --> 00:50:58,110
You know, the funny thing is about the

1490
00:50:58,110 --> 00:51:01,710
Gulf of America, it's not taking anything away

1491
00:51:01,710 --> 00:51:03,790
from Mexico or anyone else because it's not

1492
00:51:03,790 --> 00:51:05,910
the Gulf of the United States.

1493
00:51:06,010 --> 00:51:08,270
No, Gulf of America, which is- America,

1494
00:51:08,510 --> 00:51:10,790
which everyone's over the years, well, wait a

1495
00:51:10,790 --> 00:51:13,410
minute, we're in, we're Canadians, we're in America

1496
00:51:13,410 --> 00:51:15,030
because America's everything.

1497
00:51:15,330 --> 00:51:15,910
Excellent point.

1498
00:51:15,910 --> 00:51:17,710
They like to say, well, it's Central America,

1499
00:51:18,230 --> 00:51:19,410
Latin America.

1500
00:51:19,690 --> 00:51:21,670
North America, South America, it's America.

1501
00:51:21,830 --> 00:51:23,570
Gulf of America, it's much more appropriate.

1502
00:51:24,030 --> 00:51:29,710
But I like Scheinbaum, the Mexican president, because

1503
00:51:29,710 --> 00:51:32,570
she got into it and she had a

1504
00:51:32,570 --> 00:51:34,470
little attempt at humor herself.

1505
00:51:34,630 --> 00:51:37,390
After Donald Trump declared he'd rename the Gulf

1506
00:51:37,390 --> 00:51:41,070
of Mexico, President Claudia Scheinbaum showed off her

1507
00:51:41,070 --> 00:51:41,750
sense of humor.

1508
00:51:42,310 --> 00:51:44,390
The Gulf of Mexico is, of course, the

1509
00:51:44,390 --> 00:51:46,570
name that's recognized by the United Nations.

1510
00:51:47,070 --> 00:51:49,170
But why don't we call the United States

1511
00:51:50,510 --> 00:51:51,690
Mexican America?

1512
00:51:51,970 --> 00:51:53,690
It sounds nice, doesn't it?

1513
00:51:54,370 --> 00:51:57,290
A sarcastic response to the president-elect's comment,

1514
00:51:57,910 --> 00:52:00,790
which came along with other declarations, such as

1515
00:52:00,790 --> 00:52:03,550
his ambition to claim control of Greenland and

1516
00:52:03,550 --> 00:52:04,510
the Panama Canal.

1517
00:52:04,830 --> 00:52:07,590
So we're going to be changing the name

1518
00:52:07,590 --> 00:52:10,390
of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf

1519
00:52:10,390 --> 00:52:12,890
of America, which has a beautiful ring that

1520
00:52:12,890 --> 00:52:14,510
covers a lot of territory.

1521
00:52:14,650 --> 00:52:16,630
The Gulf of America, what a beautiful name.

1522
00:52:16,950 --> 00:52:17,770
And it's appropriate.

1523
00:52:18,170 --> 00:52:18,950
It's appropriate.

1524
00:52:20,330 --> 00:52:22,650
Trump and Scheinbaum have been trading jibes in

1525
00:52:22,650 --> 00:52:24,150
the weeks running up to the U.S.

1526
00:52:24,290 --> 00:52:27,090
president's return to office, notably on the matters

1527
00:52:27,090 --> 00:52:28,910
of tariffs and of migration.

1528
00:52:29,550 --> 00:52:31,870
Despite the taunts, left-wing Scheinbaum said she

1529
00:52:31,870 --> 00:52:35,150
believes a positive partnership is possible with Donald

1530
00:52:35,150 --> 00:52:35,450
Trump.

1531
00:52:35,630 --> 00:52:39,210
We must wait for him, Donald Trump, to

1532
00:52:39,210 --> 00:52:39,810
take office.

1533
00:52:40,050 --> 00:52:42,670
And in any case, there's international law.

1534
00:52:42,950 --> 00:52:44,510
I still think there will be good relations

1535
00:52:44,510 --> 00:52:45,530
with President Trump.

1536
00:52:45,870 --> 00:52:46,170
Why?

1537
00:52:46,670 --> 00:52:48,250
Because there will be good relations with our

1538
00:52:48,250 --> 00:52:49,950
former president, López Obrador.

1539
00:52:51,490 --> 00:52:53,570
Trump will be sworn into office on the

1540
00:52:53,570 --> 00:52:56,870
20th of January as the 47th president of,

1541
00:52:57,510 --> 00:52:58,890
perhaps, Mexican America.

1542
00:52:59,750 --> 00:53:00,950
All right, frog.

1543
00:53:02,090 --> 00:53:03,230
I like it.

1544
00:53:03,350 --> 00:53:05,710
It brings back humor into international politics.

1545
00:53:05,850 --> 00:53:07,370
This used to go on all the time.

1546
00:53:07,890 --> 00:53:09,290
They make little jokes.

1547
00:53:10,030 --> 00:53:10,530
It's good.

1548
00:53:10,650 --> 00:53:11,010
It's good.

1549
00:53:11,090 --> 00:53:12,230
It shakes things up.

1550
00:53:12,330 --> 00:53:12,770
It's good.

1551
00:53:14,030 --> 00:53:15,130
I think it's good.

1552
00:53:15,570 --> 00:53:16,690
I like it.

1553
00:53:17,250 --> 00:53:20,890
Meanwhile, Trump is also gearing up for China.

1554
00:53:22,130 --> 00:53:22,670
Oh, man.

1555
00:53:23,150 --> 00:53:24,070
Sir Mark Hall.

1556
00:53:24,270 --> 00:53:25,930
Remember, he was born in Panama.

1557
00:53:26,130 --> 00:53:27,290
Still has a place down there.

1558
00:53:27,650 --> 00:53:30,070
He is mad about this Panama talk.

1559
00:53:30,650 --> 00:53:31,490
He is.

1560
00:53:31,550 --> 00:53:32,450
It's an outrage.

1561
00:53:32,450 --> 00:53:34,850
Trump had poisoned eggnog.

1562
00:53:35,170 --> 00:53:36,550
Trump is no good.

1563
00:53:38,790 --> 00:53:40,290
Yeah, not liking it.

1564
00:53:40,570 --> 00:53:41,470
Not liking it at all.

1565
00:53:41,470 --> 00:53:43,470
So you prefer the Chinese to run the

1566
00:53:43,470 --> 00:53:43,970
Panama Canal?

1567
00:53:44,130 --> 00:53:44,730
Is that what he says?

1568
00:53:45,350 --> 00:53:46,210
Let me see.

1569
00:53:46,370 --> 00:53:46,630
I have...

1570
00:53:47,730 --> 00:53:48,250
Here.

1571
00:53:48,570 --> 00:53:49,210
I went back...

1572
00:53:49,210 --> 00:53:49,710
Well, let me see.

1573
00:53:51,750 --> 00:53:54,130
Trump not backing off his Panama rants.

1574
00:53:54,170 --> 00:53:55,530
Did you hear his news conference?

1575
00:53:55,870 --> 00:53:57,110
Where is he getting his info?

1576
00:53:57,630 --> 00:53:59,330
Bolton with the porn stash?

1577
00:53:59,910 --> 00:54:01,530
He's suffering from bad eggnog.

1578
00:54:02,090 --> 00:54:04,150
Went back and listened to yesterday's Trump press

1579
00:54:04,150 --> 00:54:04,510
conference.

1580
00:54:04,630 --> 00:54:06,770
His statements on Panama were all inaccurate.

1581
00:54:07,770 --> 00:54:10,010
The canal is the most expensive infrastructure in

1582
00:54:10,010 --> 00:54:10,330
the world?

1583
00:54:10,950 --> 00:54:12,330
China running the canal?

1584
00:54:12,570 --> 00:54:13,850
Where is he getting this crap?

1585
00:54:14,490 --> 00:54:16,430
He's trying to use the two ports on

1586
00:54:16,430 --> 00:54:17,990
either end of the canal to trigger the

1587
00:54:17,990 --> 00:54:21,090
protection clause of the neutrality agreement to legally

1588
00:54:21,090 --> 00:54:24,070
justify a military occupation of the canal, it

1589
00:54:24,070 --> 00:54:24,490
appears.

1590
00:54:25,790 --> 00:54:28,570
Possibly, and I hope, he's putting extreme pressure

1591
00:54:28,570 --> 00:54:30,670
on the president of Panama to unwind the

1592
00:54:30,670 --> 00:54:32,010
BRI agreements.

1593
00:54:32,770 --> 00:54:34,370
That's the Belt and Road Initiative.

1594
00:54:35,110 --> 00:54:37,270
That would be hard since China has invested

1595
00:54:37,270 --> 00:54:39,610
over $2.5 billion since 2017.

1596
00:54:40,350 --> 00:54:42,070
And U.S. foreign aid has been about

1597
00:54:42,070 --> 00:54:44,590
$300 million, much of it for migration assistance.

1598
00:54:44,770 --> 00:54:46,110
Oh, so it's all about the money.

1599
00:54:46,350 --> 00:54:46,550
Yep.

1600
00:54:48,270 --> 00:54:48,670
Well, yeah.

1601
00:54:48,830 --> 00:54:50,950
Well, we have a history with the region.

1602
00:54:52,150 --> 00:54:54,430
Yeah, in fact, Panama wasn't even a country.

1603
00:54:54,650 --> 00:54:55,990
Yeah, well, all right.

1604
00:54:57,090 --> 00:54:58,470
It's johnatdvorak.org.

1605
00:54:58,510 --> 00:54:59,450
He can email you.

1606
00:54:59,730 --> 00:55:01,690
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just

1607
00:55:01,690 --> 00:55:02,430
reporting that.

1608
00:55:02,630 --> 00:55:03,190
You're his buddy.

1609
00:55:03,350 --> 00:55:04,450
You can deal with him.

1610
00:55:04,470 --> 00:55:05,790
Yes, we're friends, of course.

1611
00:55:06,310 --> 00:55:08,670
Of course, he gets Ivermectin for me from

1612
00:55:08,670 --> 00:55:10,250
Panama, smuggles it in the country.

1613
00:55:10,770 --> 00:55:12,670
I don't want to ruin my supplier.

1614
00:55:13,350 --> 00:55:14,230
It's important.

1615
00:55:15,110 --> 00:55:16,590
Ivermectin is obtainable.

1616
00:55:16,870 --> 00:55:18,130
Yeah, very expensive.

1617
00:55:20,410 --> 00:55:21,990
We used to, we used to have a

1618
00:55:21,990 --> 00:55:22,930
connection in Thailand.

1619
00:55:23,330 --> 00:55:26,370
Now, Thailand doesn't take PayPal anymore.

1620
00:55:28,150 --> 00:55:30,490
We'll use, use one of the, use Stripe.

1621
00:55:30,670 --> 00:55:30,890
Nope.

1622
00:55:31,210 --> 00:55:33,170
You have to use Bank Wire.

1623
00:55:34,370 --> 00:55:35,970
Oh, well, that's overhead.

1624
00:55:36,310 --> 00:55:37,370
No, it's horrible.

1625
00:55:38,650 --> 00:55:41,350
But Trump is getting ready for, for China,

1626
00:55:41,550 --> 00:55:42,510
as predicted.

1627
00:55:43,170 --> 00:55:44,190
What have I been saying?

1628
00:55:44,790 --> 00:55:45,170
It's good.

1629
00:55:45,270 --> 00:55:46,950
What you've been saying is that they, it's

1630
00:55:46,950 --> 00:55:47,770
about the boats.

1631
00:55:47,910 --> 00:55:48,790
It's about the ships.

1632
00:55:48,870 --> 00:55:50,110
It's the big, beautiful ships.

1633
00:55:50,570 --> 00:55:50,930
Boats.

1634
00:55:51,710 --> 00:55:53,010
I want to talk to you about the

1635
00:55:53,010 --> 00:55:53,310
Navy.

1636
00:55:53,650 --> 00:55:55,890
The greatest president of the 20th century, Teddy

1637
00:55:55,890 --> 00:55:58,330
Roosevelt, FDR, and Reagan all built the Navy.

1638
00:55:58,550 --> 00:56:00,090
Do you intend to rebuild the Navy?

1639
00:56:01,150 --> 00:56:01,490
I do.

1640
00:56:01,670 --> 00:56:04,350
We have a great gentleman that, you know,

1641
00:56:04,450 --> 00:56:06,490
as you know, perhaps you'll get him on

1642
00:56:06,490 --> 00:56:06,890
your show.

1643
00:56:07,410 --> 00:56:08,170
He's fantastic.

1644
00:56:08,350 --> 00:56:09,290
John is fantastic.

1645
00:56:09,530 --> 00:56:10,910
Very, very successful business person.

1646
00:56:10,910 --> 00:56:11,950
Is that the Trump or a fake Trump?

1647
00:56:12,110 --> 00:56:12,750
No, that's Trump.

1648
00:56:12,850 --> 00:56:15,210
He just sounds a little, little, yeah, it's

1649
00:56:15,210 --> 00:56:15,410
Trump.

1650
00:56:15,470 --> 00:56:17,170
I think there's a couple of Trumps out

1651
00:56:17,170 --> 00:56:17,890
there, but go on.

1652
00:56:18,570 --> 00:56:20,910
Only the real Trump could speak like this.

1653
00:56:21,010 --> 00:56:21,270
Fantastic.

1654
00:56:21,450 --> 00:56:23,370
Very, very successful business person.

1655
00:56:23,530 --> 00:56:24,370
Very successful.

1656
00:56:24,530 --> 00:56:24,770
Top.

1657
00:56:25,950 --> 00:56:27,750
And he's in charge of it.

1658
00:56:27,830 --> 00:56:29,970
And we're going to do something with ships.

1659
00:56:30,090 --> 00:56:30,730
We need ships.

1660
00:56:30,970 --> 00:56:32,490
And we may have to go a different

1661
00:56:32,490 --> 00:56:33,810
route than you would normally go.

1662
00:56:33,930 --> 00:56:35,290
That's, you know, starting to build.

1663
00:56:35,370 --> 00:56:35,950
We haven't.

1664
00:56:36,070 --> 00:56:37,510
We don't build ships anymore.

1665
00:56:37,650 --> 00:56:39,050
We used to build a ship a day.

1666
00:56:39,350 --> 00:56:40,810
We don't build ships anymore.

1667
00:56:40,930 --> 00:56:42,130
We want to get that started.

1668
00:56:42,750 --> 00:56:46,330
And maybe we'll use allies also in terms

1669
00:56:46,330 --> 00:56:47,050
of building ships.

1670
00:56:47,050 --> 00:56:47,970
We might have to.

1671
00:56:48,090 --> 00:56:48,950
We need ships.

1672
00:56:49,370 --> 00:56:53,010
China's building, from what I'm hearing, every four

1673
00:56:53,010 --> 00:56:55,270
days, they're knocking out a ship.

1674
00:56:55,710 --> 00:56:57,050
And we're sitting back watching.

1675
00:56:57,510 --> 00:57:00,890
We've suffered tremendously during the Biden administration.

1676
00:57:01,090 --> 00:57:02,410
All he knew about was the Green New

1677
00:57:02,410 --> 00:57:06,650
Deal, building nonsense, giving money away, putting windmills

1678
00:57:06,650 --> 00:57:07,470
all over the place.

1679
00:57:07,530 --> 00:57:11,830
I gave out a great contract for essentially

1680
00:57:11,830 --> 00:57:12,650
destroyers.

1681
00:57:12,770 --> 00:57:13,150
Beautiful.

1682
00:57:13,350 --> 00:57:13,970
They were beautiful.

1683
00:57:14,190 --> 00:57:15,630
I even had something to do.

1684
00:57:15,710 --> 00:57:18,050
I'm a person that believes in the beauty

1685
00:57:18,050 --> 00:57:18,490
of a ship.

1686
00:57:18,610 --> 00:57:19,930
It doesn't cost any more to have the

1687
00:57:19,930 --> 00:57:20,530
right angles.

1688
00:57:21,090 --> 00:57:22,750
And it was really beautiful.

1689
00:57:22,750 --> 00:57:23,950
Yes, very beautiful.

1690
00:57:24,010 --> 00:57:24,790
Beautiful ships.

1691
00:57:25,450 --> 00:57:27,950
I also got boots on the ground.

1692
00:57:29,970 --> 00:57:31,470
Oh, I got something in my throat.

1693
00:57:31,610 --> 00:57:31,770
Hold on.

1694
00:57:33,230 --> 00:57:33,950
ITM.

1695
00:57:34,410 --> 00:57:37,710
I'm here at the federal FHWA.

1696
00:57:37,930 --> 00:57:38,210
What's that?

1697
00:57:38,250 --> 00:57:41,270
The Federal Highway Administration.

1698
00:57:41,930 --> 00:57:46,230
Transportation Research Board annual meeting in DC.

1699
00:57:46,910 --> 00:57:50,430
Sitting in at the Department of Defense asphalt

1700
00:57:50,430 --> 00:57:53,790
and concrete pavement meetings.

1701
00:57:54,390 --> 00:57:56,270
Each of these are four hours long.

1702
00:57:56,450 --> 00:57:56,770
Oh, yeah.

1703
00:57:57,290 --> 00:58:00,290
DoD isn't focused on building runways in Europe.

1704
00:58:00,810 --> 00:58:03,850
Major paving projects planned throughout the Pacific.

1705
00:58:04,530 --> 00:58:07,030
Your prediction seems to align with where we're

1706
00:58:07,030 --> 00:58:09,750
going to be laying asphalt and concrete runways

1707
00:58:09,750 --> 00:58:11,730
over the next several years.

1708
00:58:12,670 --> 00:58:14,010
Please don't use my real name.

1709
00:58:14,130 --> 00:58:16,850
Please refer to me as Commodore of the

1710
00:58:16,850 --> 00:58:18,230
Smooth Texas Highways.

1711
00:58:19,270 --> 00:58:20,490
So there it is.

1712
00:58:21,150 --> 00:58:22,450
The islands, the islands.

1713
00:58:22,550 --> 00:58:23,290
There's no agenda.

1714
00:58:23,470 --> 00:58:24,650
Commodore checking in.

1715
00:58:24,730 --> 00:58:25,170
That's right.

1716
00:58:25,870 --> 00:58:27,070
They check in, man.

1717
00:58:27,190 --> 00:58:29,270
And they tell us what's going on.

1718
00:58:29,370 --> 00:58:30,210
Yeah, that's good.

1719
00:58:30,250 --> 00:58:31,410
There's meetings everywhere.

1720
00:58:31,630 --> 00:58:31,990
It's good.

1721
00:58:32,030 --> 00:58:32,730
Good meeting.

1722
00:58:32,810 --> 00:58:33,450
Good meetings.

1723
00:58:33,610 --> 00:58:34,550
It's very good meetings.

1724
00:58:35,370 --> 00:58:36,090
I love it.

1725
00:58:37,770 --> 00:58:41,510
Boots on the ground from the Netherlands regarding

1726
00:58:41,510 --> 00:58:43,170
Trump's election influence.

1727
00:58:43,950 --> 00:58:45,990
I work in one of the main consultancy

1728
00:58:45,990 --> 00:58:48,110
firms in the Netherlands doing projects for all

1729
00:58:48,110 --> 00:58:49,250
the ministries here.

1730
00:58:49,730 --> 00:58:52,950
That would be the government ministries, not the

1731
00:58:52,950 --> 00:58:53,270
churches.

1732
00:58:53,690 --> 00:58:56,990
Working on everything from the Dutch DOD, CDC,

1733
00:58:57,470 --> 00:59:00,090
which is known as the RIVM, housing projects,

1734
00:59:00,230 --> 00:59:03,330
environment stuff, municipality, education, etc, etc.

1735
00:59:03,330 --> 00:59:04,210
Basically everything.

1736
00:59:04,490 --> 00:59:06,150
Then that's all the Netherlands is these days,

1737
00:59:06,230 --> 00:59:10,370
is consultancies, accounting firms and banks.

1738
00:59:10,690 --> 00:59:12,250
That's where all the Russians put their money.

1739
00:59:12,850 --> 00:59:15,550
Since the election, there's been a 180 degree

1740
00:59:15,550 --> 00:59:16,770
turn at our meetings.

1741
00:59:16,770 --> 00:59:21,010
Practically all ESG themes, which were fundamental up

1742
00:59:21,010 --> 00:59:24,190
until the moment in the organization, were completely

1743
00:59:24,190 --> 00:59:24,810
scrapped.

1744
00:59:25,450 --> 00:59:28,010
From an extreme focus on all woke themes,

1745
00:59:28,090 --> 00:59:30,430
from inclusion to climate change and everything in

1746
00:59:30,430 --> 00:59:33,430
between, we went totally the other direction, focusing

1747
00:59:33,430 --> 00:59:37,250
on security for immigration, economy and other real

1748
00:59:37,250 --> 00:59:37,710
issues.

1749
00:59:38,030 --> 00:59:39,970
It's a huge relief for me personally, but

1750
00:59:39,970 --> 00:59:42,630
also slightly disturbing that the election on the

1751
00:59:42,630 --> 00:59:44,590
other side of the Atlantic directly has such

1752
00:59:44,590 --> 00:59:45,750
a fundamental change.

1753
00:59:45,750 --> 00:59:48,470
We didn't vote, and still the whole world

1754
00:59:48,470 --> 00:59:50,390
seems to have been turned upside down.

1755
00:59:51,010 --> 00:59:53,290
The same change, by the way, can be

1756
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:55,870
seen in daily conversations in and outside of

1757
00:59:55,870 --> 00:59:56,330
the workplace.

1758
00:59:56,850 --> 00:59:59,150
Even the extremely woke media here seems to

1759
00:59:59,150 --> 01:00:01,950
be changing, ever so slightly, back to some

1760
01:00:01,950 --> 01:00:02,890
form of sanity.

1761
01:00:03,590 --> 01:00:04,390
Well, how about that?

1762
01:00:07,830 --> 01:00:10,470
They're all changing their tune.

1763
01:00:11,170 --> 01:00:13,750
Well, we'll see how long that lasts.

1764
01:00:13,750 --> 01:00:17,910
Well, when it comes to changing your tune,

1765
01:00:18,690 --> 01:00:21,650
the biggest change of tune would be Mark

1766
01:00:21,650 --> 01:00:24,670
Zuckerberg with his meta announcement.

1767
01:00:24,830 --> 01:00:27,590
The fallout tonight after meta's mega move to

1768
01:00:27,590 --> 01:00:29,710
eliminate traditional fact-checking.

1769
01:00:29,890 --> 01:00:30,550
Mega move.

1770
01:00:30,630 --> 01:00:33,010
On the world's biggest social media platform.

1771
01:00:33,290 --> 01:00:34,890
We've reached a point where it's just too

1772
01:00:34,890 --> 01:00:36,830
many mistakes and too much censorship.

1773
01:00:37,330 --> 01:00:39,270
The fact-checkers have just been too politically

1774
01:00:39,270 --> 01:00:41,990
biased and have destroyed more trust than they've

1775
01:00:41,990 --> 01:00:43,330
created, especially in the US.

1776
01:00:43,330 --> 01:00:45,730
It's a significant shift from the fact-checking

1777
01:00:45,730 --> 01:00:47,950
put in place after Donald Trump's first win.

1778
01:00:48,330 --> 01:00:51,010
Instead, meta will now rely on community notes.

1779
01:00:51,190 --> 01:00:53,710
In other words, user input, similar to what

1780
01:00:53,710 --> 01:00:56,350
Elon Musk's X platform does as part of

1781
01:00:56,350 --> 01:00:58,250
a broader move to loosen up how meta

1782
01:00:58,250 --> 01:00:59,190
moderates content.

1783
01:00:59,670 --> 01:01:02,170
The company will also lift restrictions on hot

1784
01:01:02,170 --> 01:01:05,450
-button topics like gender identity and immigration, allow

1785
01:01:05,450 --> 01:01:08,590
more politics into people's feeds, and move its

1786
01:01:08,590 --> 01:01:11,810
trust and safety team from liberal California to

1787
01:01:11,810 --> 01:01:12,930
ruby red Texas.

1788
01:01:13,330 --> 01:01:15,670
Oh, ruby red to Boston.

1789
01:01:16,790 --> 01:01:19,610
The recent elections also feel like a cultural

1790
01:01:19,610 --> 01:01:22,410
tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech.

1791
01:01:22,870 --> 01:01:25,490
It's a political evolution for meta, four years

1792
01:01:25,490 --> 01:01:28,010
after Facebook suspended Mr. Trump's account in the

1793
01:01:28,010 --> 01:01:30,350
wake of January 6th, and just months after

1794
01:01:30,350 --> 01:01:33,010
the president-elect accused Zuckerberg of plotting against

1795
01:01:33,010 --> 01:01:35,650
him in 2020, calling for life in prison

1796
01:01:35,650 --> 01:01:36,990
if Zuckerberg did it again.

1797
01:01:37,430 --> 01:01:40,390
But after Mr. Trump's win, Zuckerberg traveled to

1798
01:01:40,390 --> 01:01:40,890
Mar-a-Lago.

1799
01:01:41,290 --> 01:01:43,310
His company donated a million dollars to the

1800
01:01:43,310 --> 01:01:46,290
Trump Inaugural Fund, and now close Trump ally

1801
01:01:46,290 --> 01:01:48,870
and UFC head Dana White is joining meta's

1802
01:01:48,870 --> 01:01:49,230
board.

1803
01:01:50,090 --> 01:01:50,570
Meta.

1804
01:01:50,570 --> 01:01:50,950
Facebook.

1805
01:01:51,210 --> 01:01:52,370
I think they've come a long way.

1806
01:01:52,450 --> 01:01:54,110
Do you think he's directly responding to the

1807
01:01:54,110 --> 01:01:55,330
threats that you have made to him in

1808
01:01:55,330 --> 01:01:55,710
the past?

1809
01:01:56,490 --> 01:01:58,250
Some critics concerned.

1810
01:01:58,670 --> 01:02:00,350
Fact-checking is not censorship.

1811
01:02:00,730 --> 01:02:02,950
What do you see as the Trump factor,

1812
01:02:03,110 --> 01:02:03,850
if you will, here?

1813
01:02:04,230 --> 01:02:06,590
This is very obviously a political decision.

1814
01:02:07,050 --> 01:02:07,530
Yeah.

1815
01:02:08,190 --> 01:02:08,890
It's great.

1816
01:02:09,350 --> 01:02:10,130
And he got a perm.

1817
01:02:10,150 --> 01:02:12,810
Well, the irony still is that whatever fact

1818
01:02:12,810 --> 01:02:14,410
-checkers they're going to have, they're moving to

1819
01:02:14,410 --> 01:02:14,990
Austin.

1820
01:02:16,030 --> 01:02:18,330
It's worse there than it is in California,

1821
01:02:18,550 --> 01:02:19,550
generally speaking.

1822
01:02:19,790 --> 01:02:21,250
Yeah, but that's not the fact.

1823
01:02:21,250 --> 01:02:23,430
Because they're all Californians that have moved there.

1824
01:02:23,530 --> 01:02:24,170
That's not the fact.

1825
01:02:24,210 --> 01:02:25,990
It's the trust and safety team.

1826
01:02:26,170 --> 01:02:27,710
It's not the same as fact-checkers.

1827
01:02:29,890 --> 01:02:32,090
I kind of enjoy the community notes.

1828
01:02:32,230 --> 01:02:33,290
I didn't know what to think of it

1829
01:02:33,290 --> 01:02:34,230
at first, but...

1830
01:02:34,230 --> 01:02:35,690
I liked it from the get-go.

1831
01:02:35,770 --> 01:02:36,290
Yeah, I see.

1832
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:38,570
Because people will email me something.

1833
01:02:39,330 --> 01:02:40,110
Look at this.

1834
01:02:40,430 --> 01:02:40,830
Look at this.

1835
01:02:40,830 --> 01:02:43,030
This guy's got an egg with nuclear energy

1836
01:02:43,030 --> 01:02:43,530
in it.

1837
01:02:44,650 --> 01:02:45,650
The Enron egg.

1838
01:02:45,650 --> 01:02:46,370
The Enron egg.

1839
01:02:46,650 --> 01:02:47,870
You click on the link, and I don't

1840
01:02:47,870 --> 01:02:49,390
even have to look at the video, which

1841
01:02:49,390 --> 01:02:50,850
is four and a half minutes long, because

1842
01:02:50,850 --> 01:02:52,190
right there is a community note.

1843
01:02:52,330 --> 01:02:53,870
I'm like, oh, OK, that makes sense.

1844
01:02:55,430 --> 01:02:56,810
This report continues.

1845
01:02:57,130 --> 01:02:58,970
Over the next four years, the Trump administration

1846
01:02:58,970 --> 01:03:01,490
will set key policy on critical tech topics

1847
01:03:01,490 --> 01:03:03,150
like antitrust and AI.

1848
01:03:03,390 --> 01:03:05,270
And as meta has pushed into the world

1849
01:03:05,270 --> 01:03:08,530
of artificial intelligence, new tonight, NBC News has

1850
01:03:08,530 --> 01:03:12,170
found user-generated AI chatbots that seemingly violated

1851
01:03:12,170 --> 01:03:15,210
meta's policies against creating characters based on religious

1852
01:03:15,210 --> 01:03:16,670
or real-life figures.

1853
01:03:17,030 --> 01:03:19,050
An NBC News review found some two dozen

1854
01:03:19,050 --> 01:03:22,830
chatbots ranging from Hitler and Jesus Christ to

1855
01:03:22,830 --> 01:03:25,230
Taylor Swift and Captain Jack Sparrow.

1856
01:03:25,790 --> 01:03:28,070
Meta took down those individual accounts after our

1857
01:03:28,070 --> 01:03:30,130
team reached out and in a statement says

1858
01:03:30,130 --> 01:03:33,050
they are continuously improving their detection measures.

1859
01:03:33,250 --> 01:03:34,630
You narcs at NBC.

1860
01:03:35,650 --> 01:03:37,450
Narc Broadcast Corporation.

1861
01:03:37,630 --> 01:03:38,550
Where are you going to take down the

1862
01:03:38,550 --> 01:03:39,130
fun stuff?

1863
01:03:39,130 --> 01:03:41,350
Oh, oh, that's against your policy.

1864
01:03:41,810 --> 01:03:42,450
Oh, Jack Sparrow.

1865
01:03:42,790 --> 01:03:44,190
That's a fake.

1866
01:03:44,450 --> 01:03:44,790
Really?

1867
01:03:45,990 --> 01:03:46,930
The European Union.

1868
01:03:46,930 --> 01:03:48,410
No one will figure that one out.

1869
01:03:48,670 --> 01:03:49,670
The European Union.

1870
01:03:49,870 --> 01:03:51,990
Not so happy with Mr. Zuckerberg.

1871
01:03:52,390 --> 01:03:54,970
The EU absolutely refutes claims of censorship.

1872
01:03:55,490 --> 01:03:57,610
That's according to a spokesperson for the European

1873
01:03:57,610 --> 01:03:58,170
Commission.

1874
01:03:58,530 --> 01:03:59,290
Listen to this guy.

1875
01:03:59,390 --> 01:04:02,230
So he's going to say we do not

1876
01:04:02,230 --> 01:04:04,270
force these companies to censor anything.

1877
01:04:04,270 --> 01:04:05,470
But listen how he says it.

1878
01:04:05,770 --> 01:04:08,230
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of social media giant

1879
01:04:08,230 --> 01:04:10,750
Meta, accused the bloc of passing laws which

1880
01:04:10,750 --> 01:04:13,230
institutionalize a suppression of free speech.

1881
01:04:13,730 --> 01:04:15,550
He made the comments during a video message

1882
01:04:15,550 --> 01:04:17,770
announcing the company would get rid of independent

1883
01:04:17,770 --> 01:04:19,650
fact checkers in the United States.

1884
01:04:20,170 --> 01:04:21,990
Meta said the decision was to make freedom

1885
01:04:21,990 --> 01:04:23,350
of expression a priority.

1886
01:04:23,630 --> 01:04:25,650
The EU says it does that.

1887
01:04:26,230 --> 01:04:29,710
We don't ask any platform to remove any

1888
01:04:29,710 --> 01:04:30,610
lawful content.

1889
01:04:31,010 --> 01:04:31,910
Lawful content?

1890
01:04:32,110 --> 01:04:33,770
Just need to make the difference between illegal

1891
01:04:33,770 --> 01:04:36,710
content and then content that is potentially harmful.

1892
01:04:36,910 --> 01:04:38,250
This is an in-between category.

1893
01:04:38,250 --> 01:04:41,430
Harmful for minors, harmful for our democracies.

1894
01:04:41,810 --> 01:04:44,530
We ask just platforms to take appropriate risk

1895
01:04:44,530 --> 01:04:45,350
mitigation measures.

1896
01:04:45,550 --> 01:04:46,390
Let me see.

1897
01:04:46,770 --> 01:04:48,150
The in-between categories.

1898
01:04:48,330 --> 01:04:50,230
Don't you think that there's probably some free

1899
01:04:50,230 --> 01:04:51,870
speech in there that people just want to

1900
01:04:51,870 --> 01:04:54,850
show their discontent, which you're calling danger to

1901
01:04:54,850 --> 01:04:55,630
democracies?

1902
01:04:56,490 --> 01:04:58,930
Meta has sent a risk assessment report to

1903
01:04:58,930 --> 01:05:00,670
the bloc on how the changes to its

1904
01:05:00,670 --> 01:05:02,570
fact checking system would work if they were

1905
01:05:02,570 --> 01:05:03,950
to be introduced in Europe.

1906
01:05:04,390 --> 01:05:06,770
Such research is required under EU law.

1907
01:05:07,330 --> 01:05:10,770
Working with such independent fact checkers can be

1908
01:05:10,770 --> 01:05:13,970
considered as an effective way to mitigate systemic

1909
01:05:13,970 --> 01:05:17,310
risks stemming from very large online platform services.

1910
01:05:17,650 --> 01:05:21,750
For example, risks relating to disinformation, risks relating

1911
01:05:21,750 --> 01:05:24,130
to electoral processes or civic discourse.

1912
01:05:24,310 --> 01:05:24,550
Oh man.

1913
01:05:24,670 --> 01:05:26,510
The tech giant plans to replace its fact

1914
01:05:26,510 --> 01:05:28,310
checkers with a community note system.

1915
01:05:28,830 --> 01:05:31,810
Users will moderate content themselves, but some experts

1916
01:05:31,810 --> 01:05:33,670
warn this will remove safeguards.

1917
01:05:34,050 --> 01:05:36,770
Meta, by doing this, are retreating from fact.

1918
01:05:36,950 --> 01:05:38,210
They're retreating from truth.

1919
01:05:38,570 --> 01:05:42,090
And by switching to a community notes model,

1920
01:05:42,250 --> 01:05:45,030
they're effectively trying to capture tidal waves in

1921
01:05:45,030 --> 01:05:46,730
a bucket and it's not going to work.

1922
01:05:47,130 --> 01:05:48,590
They are beside themselves.

1923
01:05:48,910 --> 01:05:50,210
They don't know what to make of it.

1924
01:05:52,390 --> 01:05:54,350
EU is so screwed up.

1925
01:05:54,810 --> 01:05:55,470
Oh yeah.

1926
01:05:55,870 --> 01:05:58,710
And Elon, or as they say in Europe,

1927
01:05:58,870 --> 01:06:01,550
Elon, for some reason, I mean the whole

1928
01:06:01,550 --> 01:06:03,490
world says Elon Musk, but in Europe you

1929
01:06:03,490 --> 01:06:04,150
got to say Elon.

1930
01:06:04,150 --> 01:06:06,330
I don't know why.

1931
01:06:07,650 --> 01:06:08,950
We'll say Londras.

1932
01:06:09,070 --> 01:06:09,850
Elon, Elon.

1933
01:06:10,230 --> 01:06:12,550
Now they're, now they're, because he's doing all

1934
01:06:12,550 --> 01:06:14,390
kinds of stuff that they don't like.

1935
01:06:15,070 --> 01:06:17,630
He's doing all kinds of stuff that's just

1936
01:06:17,630 --> 01:06:18,690
getting their goat.

1937
01:06:18,930 --> 01:06:21,590
Elon Musk has become meddler in chief.

1938
01:06:21,950 --> 01:06:23,770
You name it, and the richest man in

1939
01:06:23,770 --> 01:06:25,450
the world has commented on it.

1940
01:06:25,550 --> 01:06:28,410
From pumping millions of dollars into President-elect

1941
01:06:28,410 --> 01:06:31,270
Trump's campaign in the US election, he's now

1942
01:06:31,270 --> 01:06:34,170
focused his sights across the pond ahead of

1943
01:06:34,170 --> 01:06:36,290
a crucial year for EU countries.

1944
01:06:36,650 --> 01:06:38,790
The international ultra right that we've been opposing

1945
01:06:38,790 --> 01:06:40,650
in Spain for years, led in this case

1946
01:06:40,650 --> 01:06:43,110
by the richest man on the planet, openly

1947
01:06:43,110 --> 01:06:47,010
attacks our institutions, incites hatred, and openly supports

1948
01:06:47,010 --> 01:06:49,510
the heirs of Nazism in Germany in the

1949
01:06:49,510 --> 01:06:51,250
next elections to be held in the most

1950
01:06:51,250 --> 01:06:53,730
important country in the European economy.

1951
01:06:54,470 --> 01:06:57,870
Foreign intervention in a country's domestic politics is

1952
01:06:57,870 --> 01:07:00,090
rarely greeted with welcoming applause.

1953
01:07:00,090 --> 01:07:03,090
And when the interference comes from the person

1954
01:07:03,090 --> 01:07:05,530
in control of one of the most dominant

1955
01:07:05,530 --> 01:07:08,690
social media platforms, it can have consequences.

1956
01:07:09,270 --> 01:07:13,170
Amid Germany's election campaign season, it's bolstering the

1957
01:07:13,170 --> 01:07:13,870
far right.

1958
01:07:14,330 --> 01:07:17,430
His latest target is the United Kingdom, calling

1959
01:07:17,430 --> 01:07:20,090
on the king to dissolve parliament, and accusing

1960
01:07:20,090 --> 01:07:23,270
the prime minister, Keir Starmer, of being complicit

1961
01:07:23,270 --> 01:07:24,510
in the rape of Britain.

1962
01:07:25,170 --> 01:07:27,530
A cabinet minister was also in Musk's line

1963
01:07:27,530 --> 01:07:30,390
of fire, who has dismissed the billionaire's comments

1964
01:07:30,390 --> 01:07:31,150
for now.

1965
01:07:33,290 --> 01:07:34,850
Elon Musk is going to Elon Musk.

1966
01:07:35,250 --> 01:07:37,950
His live stream on X invitation to German

1967
01:07:37,950 --> 01:07:41,470
far right leader, Alice Weidel, is sparking fury

1968
01:07:41,470 --> 01:07:44,770
over unfair exposure ahead of Germany's election.

1969
01:07:45,410 --> 01:07:48,510
European leaders say he's gone too far, while

1970
01:07:48,510 --> 01:07:50,870
Brussels has been urged to use its digital

1971
01:07:50,870 --> 01:07:53,030
legal might to rein him in.

1972
01:07:53,350 --> 01:07:56,650
Pursuing action against a major tech tycoon would

1973
01:07:56,650 --> 01:07:57,690
be tricky enough.

1974
01:07:57,690 --> 01:08:00,330
But more to the point, like it or

1975
01:08:00,330 --> 01:08:02,690
not, in just a few days time, Musk

1976
01:08:02,690 --> 01:08:05,590
will become part of the United States administration.

1977
01:08:06,150 --> 01:08:09,490
Meaning a spat with Musk is tantamount to

1978
01:08:09,490 --> 01:08:11,390
a confrontation with Washington.

1979
01:08:12,690 --> 01:08:13,790
No, I have.

1980
01:08:14,170 --> 01:08:15,029
Yeah, well gone.

1981
01:08:15,170 --> 01:08:16,930
I was gonna say, still not a fan

1982
01:08:16,930 --> 01:08:19,850
of Elon Musk, but as a move on

1983
01:08:19,850 --> 01:08:21,490
Trump's part, brilliant.

1984
01:08:22,609 --> 01:08:25,450
I've come to the conclusion that Musk has

1985
01:08:25,450 --> 01:08:28,649
decided, and I think with the cooperation, or

1986
01:08:28,649 --> 01:08:32,210
with probably the encouragement of Trump, to become

1987
01:08:32,210 --> 01:08:33,170
his hatchet man.

1988
01:08:33,450 --> 01:08:35,170
Yeah, that's what he is, clearly.

1989
01:08:35,529 --> 01:08:39,990
And I think the best example is the

1990
01:08:39,990 --> 01:08:41,850
Keir Starmer thing, where he- Yes.

1991
01:08:42,490 --> 01:08:45,990
Because Starmer and his boys in the Labor

1992
01:08:45,990 --> 01:08:49,210
Party sent a bunch of people, volunteers, to

1993
01:08:49,210 --> 01:08:52,729
interfere with the American elections by sending volunteers

1994
01:08:52,729 --> 01:08:54,729
over here from Britain- From the Labor

1995
01:08:54,729 --> 01:08:55,109
Party.

1996
01:08:55,109 --> 01:08:58,630
To knock on doors, to tell people to

1997
01:08:58,630 --> 01:08:59,609
vote for Kamala.

1998
01:09:00,229 --> 01:09:01,890
And this is not good.

1999
01:09:02,149 --> 01:09:05,370
And so, okay, you wanna play that game?

2000
01:09:05,450 --> 01:09:08,510
We're gonna send our hatchet man, Elon Musk,

2001
01:09:08,810 --> 01:09:10,710
who can really stir up some stuff.

2002
01:09:10,830 --> 01:09:13,390
And he's done a fabulous job, I think,

2003
01:09:13,990 --> 01:09:16,609
of really putting the pressure on Starmer and

2004
01:09:16,609 --> 01:09:16,910
these guys.

2005
01:09:16,990 --> 01:09:18,830
In fact, I have two clips from England's

2006
01:09:18,830 --> 01:09:19,490
parliament.

2007
01:09:19,870 --> 01:09:20,450
Oh, good.

2008
01:09:20,950 --> 01:09:22,510
Good, good, good.

2009
01:09:22,590 --> 01:09:24,069
I have clips from this.

2010
01:09:24,069 --> 01:09:26,670
Maybe if I play my CBC clips, they

2011
01:09:26,670 --> 01:09:28,870
don't really have the parliament stuff.

2012
01:09:28,970 --> 01:09:30,330
If you have the parliament stuff, that's good.

2013
01:09:30,630 --> 01:09:34,529
My parliament stuff's just about the kind of

2014
01:09:34,529 --> 01:09:36,170
stuff going on, because I have some commentary.

2015
01:09:36,590 --> 01:09:39,350
So whatever you're playing is different.

2016
01:09:39,930 --> 01:09:41,390
But my point I was trying to make

2017
01:09:41,390 --> 01:09:44,290
there was that Musk looks like...

2018
01:09:44,290 --> 01:09:46,870
And I think it's kind of an interesting

2019
01:09:46,870 --> 01:09:49,210
thing to want to be a hatchet man.

2020
01:09:50,069 --> 01:09:53,350
You know, the enforcer, the guy who goes

2021
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,510
out there and stirs up stuff on behalf

2022
01:09:55,510 --> 01:09:56,230
of the boss.

2023
01:09:56,450 --> 01:09:59,010
Well, just look at what he posts about

2024
01:09:59,010 --> 01:09:59,310
himself.

2025
01:09:59,550 --> 01:10:00,390
Look at the memes.

2026
01:10:01,070 --> 01:10:02,410
You know, Tony Stark.

2027
01:10:02,670 --> 01:10:04,250
I've got my Halloween costume.

2028
01:10:04,430 --> 01:10:05,350
I look like a badass.

2029
01:10:05,830 --> 01:10:08,890
This is exactly what a nerdy kid with

2030
01:10:08,890 --> 01:10:09,950
hair plugs would do.

2031
01:10:10,810 --> 01:10:11,610
Give him a big...

2032
01:10:11,610 --> 01:10:12,270
He's enjoying himself.

2033
01:10:12,510 --> 01:10:13,210
Yes, he is.

2034
01:10:13,330 --> 01:10:14,970
Give him a big keychain.

2035
01:10:15,070 --> 01:10:16,330
I got big keychain.

2036
01:10:16,530 --> 01:10:17,530
I'm in charge here.

2037
01:10:18,230 --> 01:10:18,510
That's...

2038
01:10:18,510 --> 01:10:19,270
He's a hall monitor.

2039
01:10:19,410 --> 01:10:20,170
Hall monitor.

2040
01:10:20,350 --> 01:10:20,910
There it is.

2041
01:10:20,910 --> 01:10:23,090
Elon Musk, the hall monitor.

2042
01:10:23,670 --> 01:10:24,490
He loves that.

2043
01:10:25,530 --> 01:10:26,850
Shall I play these Starmer clips?

2044
01:10:26,970 --> 01:10:27,970
He want to do Parliament first.

2045
01:10:28,770 --> 01:10:29,830
No, play Starmer first.

2046
01:10:29,910 --> 01:10:30,610
So we can get him out of the

2047
01:10:30,610 --> 01:10:30,730
way.

2048
01:10:30,730 --> 01:10:31,110
CBC.

2049
01:10:31,370 --> 01:10:34,290
Here Starmer wanted to focus on improving British

2050
01:10:34,290 --> 01:10:36,310
health care, but there was no way for

2051
01:10:36,310 --> 01:10:39,910
him to avoid addressing Elon Musk's latest broadside.

2052
01:10:40,130 --> 01:10:42,570
In a social media post, the world's richest

2053
01:10:42,570 --> 01:10:46,170
man and a key Donald Trump confidant questioned

2054
01:10:46,170 --> 01:10:49,010
whether it was time for America to liberate

2055
01:10:49,010 --> 01:10:51,570
Britons from their tyrannical government.

2056
01:10:51,830 --> 01:10:55,290
We've seen this playbook many times, whipping up

2057
01:10:55,290 --> 01:10:59,650
of intimidation and threats of violence, hoping that

2058
01:10:59,650 --> 01:11:01,150
the media will amplify it.

2059
01:11:01,410 --> 01:11:04,850
Starmer appeared to be referencing Musk's ongoing smears

2060
01:11:04,850 --> 01:11:07,970
against him and his cabinet minister, Jess Phillips.

2061
01:11:08,370 --> 01:11:11,610
Before he was PM, Starmer headed the UK's

2062
01:11:11,610 --> 01:11:15,830
public prosecution service, during which time several thousand

2063
01:11:15,830 --> 01:11:19,410
girls were victimized by mostly British Pakistani gangs

2064
01:11:19,410 --> 01:11:21,210
and sexually exploited.

2065
01:11:21,910 --> 01:11:25,990
Subsequent inquiries determined local authorities often failed to

2066
01:11:25,990 --> 01:11:29,010
properly investigate, partially out of fear of being

2067
01:11:29,010 --> 01:11:30,190
seen as racist.

2068
01:11:30,610 --> 01:11:33,530
After Phillips, the current minister for women's safety

2069
01:11:33,530 --> 01:11:36,050
rejected calls for a new inquiry.

2070
01:11:36,490 --> 01:11:37,570
Musk weighed in.

2071
01:11:37,990 --> 01:11:41,170
He called her a rape genocide apologist who

2072
01:11:41,170 --> 01:11:43,490
should be in jail alongside Starmer.

2073
01:11:43,670 --> 01:11:45,510
This is incredible.

2074
01:11:46,730 --> 01:11:50,690
Yeah, you know, some girls, like 200, 250

2075
01:11:50,690 --> 01:11:52,690
,000 young girls.

2076
01:11:52,870 --> 01:11:54,030
Oh, it's outrageous.

2077
01:11:54,310 --> 01:11:57,770
I mean, there's no, if Musk keeps this

2078
01:11:57,770 --> 01:11:58,950
up, this guy's done.

2079
01:11:59,270 --> 01:12:01,690
Starmer defended his own efforts at bringing a

2080
01:12:01,690 --> 01:12:04,290
record number of such cases to trial and

2081
01:12:04,290 --> 01:12:07,290
Phillips for being a dogged advocate for abused

2082
01:12:07,290 --> 01:12:07,630
women.

2083
01:12:07,770 --> 01:12:10,350
When the poison of the far right leads

2084
01:12:10,350 --> 01:12:14,850
to serious threats to Jess Phillips and others.

2085
01:12:14,850 --> 01:12:15,530
Right.

2086
01:12:16,310 --> 01:12:18,670
But in my book, a line has been

2087
01:12:18,670 --> 01:12:19,070
crossed.

2088
01:12:19,170 --> 01:12:21,110
In all my years of following British politics,

2089
01:12:21,330 --> 01:12:23,650
I can't remember an incident like this.

2090
01:12:23,850 --> 01:12:26,750
Political scientist Tim Bale says Musk appears to

2091
01:12:26,750 --> 01:12:28,990
have a hate on for Labour's left of

2092
01:12:28,990 --> 01:12:30,210
centre administration.

2093
01:12:30,590 --> 01:12:33,390
He's trying to disrupt the so-called special

2094
01:12:33,390 --> 01:12:35,690
relationship, if you like, between the UK or

2095
01:12:35,690 --> 01:12:37,810
at least this government of the UK and

2096
01:12:37,810 --> 01:12:39,330
the incoming Trump administration.

2097
01:12:39,710 --> 01:12:43,590
Today, without directly mentioning Musk's name, France's President

2098
01:12:43,590 --> 01:12:46,630
Emmanuel Macron urged democracies to be vigilant.

2099
01:12:46,970 --> 01:12:49,710
He accused Musk of backing a new international

2100
01:12:49,710 --> 01:12:51,370
reactionary movement.

2101
01:12:51,870 --> 01:12:54,870
For Starmer, criticising Musk comes with risks.

2102
01:12:55,310 --> 01:12:57,710
With Trump poised to take over and with

2103
01:12:57,710 --> 01:13:00,510
Musk as one of his most influential advisers,

2104
01:13:00,950 --> 01:13:03,650
the worry is offending him could turn the

2105
01:13:03,650 --> 01:13:06,810
incoming US president against Britain as well.

2106
01:13:06,970 --> 01:13:09,570
Notice they no longer use the term loyalist

2107
01:13:09,570 --> 01:13:10,850
with Musk.

2108
01:13:10,850 --> 01:13:11,870
No, no.

2109
01:13:11,990 --> 01:13:14,250
He's an ally, advisor.

2110
01:13:16,030 --> 01:13:18,770
No, he is definitely shaking things up.

2111
01:13:19,310 --> 01:13:26,050
Well, just to reiterate the fact that Starmer

2112
01:13:27,610 --> 01:13:32,010
involved himself in the United States election by

2113
01:13:32,010 --> 01:13:34,610
backing Kamala Harris and sending people over here

2114
01:13:34,610 --> 01:13:35,570
to knock on doors.

2115
01:13:35,710 --> 01:13:36,130
That's right.

2116
01:13:36,450 --> 01:13:38,570
That was, he's not going to, they're not

2117
01:13:38,570 --> 01:13:39,970
going to have a good relationship with the

2118
01:13:39,970 --> 01:13:41,550
UK until this is straightened out.

2119
01:13:41,650 --> 01:13:43,910
And the only guy that's going to force

2120
01:13:43,910 --> 01:13:44,830
the issue is Musk.

2121
01:13:45,830 --> 01:13:49,630
So talking about Starmer wanting to fix the

2122
01:13:49,630 --> 01:13:52,090
health service and NHS.

2123
01:13:53,190 --> 01:13:56,110
So I found a source for all, for

2124
01:13:56,110 --> 01:13:58,230
parliament online.

2125
01:13:58,870 --> 01:14:00,590
And people should look at and try to

2126
01:14:00,590 --> 01:14:01,310
get me some clips.

2127
01:14:01,490 --> 01:14:06,130
It's called parliamentlive.tv and they have both

2128
01:14:06,130 --> 01:14:08,630
the House of Commons and the House of

2129
01:14:08,630 --> 01:14:10,090
Lords, which I've never witnessed.

2130
01:14:10,910 --> 01:14:13,150
The House of Lords is, and the contrast

2131
01:14:13,150 --> 01:14:15,150
between watching the two, for one thing, the

2132
01:14:15,150 --> 01:14:18,650
House of Lords has red leather seating and

2133
01:14:18,650 --> 01:14:20,870
the House of Parliament has green.

2134
01:14:21,710 --> 01:14:25,150
And the House of Lords, I would say

2135
01:14:25,150 --> 01:14:28,430
75% of the members of the House

2136
01:14:28,430 --> 01:14:31,030
of Lords are masked up.

2137
01:14:33,010 --> 01:14:33,110
Really?

2138
01:14:34,250 --> 01:14:36,170
It's like, it's like you look at and

2139
01:14:36,170 --> 01:14:38,830
go, why are all these people masked up?

2140
01:14:39,650 --> 01:14:40,890
First I looked at it and I said,

2141
01:14:41,150 --> 01:14:43,130
oh, this must be an old tape or

2142
01:14:43,130 --> 01:14:43,270
something.

2143
01:14:43,810 --> 01:14:44,210
No.

2144
01:14:45,490 --> 01:14:45,890
Wow.

2145
01:14:46,090 --> 01:14:46,410
No.

2146
01:14:47,730 --> 01:14:49,790
And no, they're just masked up and they're

2147
01:14:49,790 --> 01:14:50,350
all worried.

2148
01:14:50,610 --> 01:14:51,290
I don't know.

2149
01:14:51,350 --> 01:14:52,790
It's the dumbest thing you've ever seen.

2150
01:14:53,430 --> 01:14:55,390
But parliament, no, they're not masked up at

2151
01:14:55,390 --> 01:14:55,550
all.

2152
01:14:55,990 --> 01:14:57,070
But I want to play a couple of

2153
01:14:57,070 --> 01:14:57,330
these clips.

2154
01:14:57,390 --> 01:14:58,250
This is the House of Lords.

2155
01:14:58,410 --> 01:15:01,510
This is just a very short clip talking

2156
01:15:01,510 --> 01:15:02,230
about NHS.

2157
01:15:02,990 --> 01:15:07,830
A woman is complaining about what Starmer's trying

2158
01:15:07,830 --> 01:15:09,770
to fix or what they're not going to

2159
01:15:09,770 --> 01:15:09,970
fix.

2160
01:15:10,030 --> 01:15:10,970
If you listen to this.

2161
01:15:11,390 --> 01:15:13,770
The pandemic added a huge strain to the

2162
01:15:13,770 --> 01:15:14,130
NHS.

2163
01:15:14,570 --> 01:15:17,610
Resources were redeployed away from elective care and

2164
01:15:17,610 --> 01:15:20,350
much elective care was postponed to reduce the

2165
01:15:20,350 --> 01:15:21,190
spread of COVID.

2166
01:15:22,450 --> 01:15:27,070
For example, before the pandemic, 54 women had

2167
01:15:27,070 --> 01:15:28,770
been waiting more than 12 months for a

2168
01:15:28,770 --> 01:15:29,930
gynecological appointment.

2169
01:15:30,750 --> 01:15:33,250
By the time the pandemic was over, that

2170
01:15:33,250 --> 01:15:37,270
number had gone from 54 to 40,000.

2171
01:15:38,410 --> 01:15:38,850
Whoa.

2172
01:15:39,930 --> 01:15:42,970
So you have to wait 12 months for

2173
01:15:42,970 --> 01:15:45,030
a gynecological exam?

2174
01:15:45,510 --> 01:15:45,750
Yeah.

2175
01:15:46,170 --> 01:15:48,250
40,000 people are on the waiting list

2176
01:15:48,250 --> 01:15:49,170
to wait 12 months.

2177
01:15:49,250 --> 01:15:51,070
What kind of operation are they running there?

2178
01:15:51,090 --> 01:15:54,650
I mean, we have people in no agenda

2179
01:15:54,650 --> 01:15:56,090
nation who will do that for you.

2180
01:15:58,210 --> 01:15:59,370
Yeah, I'm sure of that.

2181
01:16:00,110 --> 01:16:02,510
So we go to the House of Commons

2182
01:16:02,510 --> 01:16:06,330
and they just reopened after New Year's.

2183
01:16:06,330 --> 01:16:07,410
This is their first session.

2184
01:16:07,410 --> 01:16:11,210
And I just thought this was somewhat ironic

2185
01:16:11,690 --> 01:16:15,270
because they start off with the speaker going

2186
01:16:15,270 --> 01:16:16,210
on and on about this.

2187
01:16:16,550 --> 01:16:17,450
Welcome back.

2188
01:16:17,510 --> 01:16:18,170
Happy New Year.

2189
01:16:18,310 --> 01:16:23,010
And we're going to look forward for a

2190
01:16:23,010 --> 01:16:23,510
peaceful.

2191
01:16:23,850 --> 01:16:25,630
We're going to look for years of peace.

2192
01:16:25,790 --> 01:16:27,510
And what is the first thing that actually

2193
01:16:27,510 --> 01:16:27,990
happens?

2194
01:16:28,450 --> 01:16:29,610
Take a listen to this.

2195
01:16:30,030 --> 01:16:30,770
Order, order.

2196
01:16:31,350 --> 01:16:33,350
First of all, wish everybody a happy new

2197
01:16:33,350 --> 01:16:35,210
year and let's hope for a peaceful one.

2198
01:16:35,210 --> 01:16:36,650
Right, we start with questions.

2199
01:16:36,890 --> 01:16:39,110
Secretary of State for Defence, Aubrey Apple.

2200
01:16:39,530 --> 01:16:42,050
Happy New Year, Mr Speaker, and everybody here

2201
01:16:42,050 --> 01:16:42,290
today.

2202
01:16:42,410 --> 01:16:43,410
Question number one, please.

2203
01:16:44,490 --> 01:16:45,750
Secretary of State.

2204
01:16:46,270 --> 01:16:50,190
Mr Speaker, this day is day 1049 of

2205
01:16:50,190 --> 01:16:53,570
Russia's brutal, illegal, full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

2206
01:16:53,990 --> 01:16:57,050
And this year, 2025, will be the critical

2207
01:16:57,050 --> 01:16:58,130
year in the conflict.

2208
01:16:58,690 --> 01:17:01,890
My job as Defence Secretary is to put

2209
01:17:01,890 --> 01:17:04,670
Ukrainians in the strongest possible position on the

2210
01:17:04,670 --> 01:17:07,590
battlefield and at any negotiating table.

2211
01:17:08,150 --> 01:17:11,430
So throughout 2025, we will develop UK training.

2212
01:17:12,050 --> 01:17:14,270
We will strengthen Defence Industrial Corporation.

2213
01:17:14,810 --> 01:17:17,950
We will increase pressure with allies on Russia.

2214
01:17:18,230 --> 01:17:20,130
And we will step up and speed up

2215
01:17:20,130 --> 01:17:21,690
military aid to Ukraine.

2216
01:17:22,290 --> 01:17:23,750
It's all about peace.

2217
01:17:24,290 --> 01:17:25,710
So this peaceful year.

2218
01:17:25,890 --> 01:17:28,310
Now, I didn't get any more clips because

2219
01:17:29,110 --> 01:17:32,250
person everyone after that for the next 10

2220
01:17:32,250 --> 01:17:33,550
questions of this guy.

2221
01:17:33,550 --> 01:17:36,690
Are we sure that Ukraine will get more

2222
01:17:36,690 --> 01:17:37,470
of our money?

2223
01:17:37,910 --> 01:17:39,310
It was just went on and on.

2224
01:17:39,390 --> 01:17:40,950
It was like, what kind of peace are

2225
01:17:40,950 --> 01:17:42,330
we talking about here in the UK?

2226
01:17:42,450 --> 01:17:44,510
These people are insane.

2227
01:17:44,910 --> 01:17:47,690
Well, they're probably also all part of the

2228
01:17:47,690 --> 01:17:51,290
new to be built military industrial base.

2229
01:17:52,230 --> 01:17:54,190
The war mindset of NATO.

2230
01:17:55,530 --> 01:17:57,550
And that's what our buddy Mark Rutte said.

2231
01:17:57,730 --> 01:17:59,390
We have to, we must have a war

2232
01:17:59,390 --> 01:18:01,210
mindset about all this.

2233
01:18:01,330 --> 01:18:01,950
It's very good.

2234
01:18:02,750 --> 01:18:04,490
War mindset is good.

2235
01:18:06,590 --> 01:18:08,990
All right, let me shift gears for a

2236
01:18:08,990 --> 01:18:12,210
second here to ISIS in America, because we

2237
01:18:12,210 --> 01:18:12,970
should be very afraid.

2238
01:18:13,050 --> 01:18:14,330
I know we've forgotten about it.

2239
01:18:14,570 --> 01:18:18,190
The fire has distracted us, but we still

2240
01:18:18,190 --> 01:18:20,910
have potential for ISIS in America.

2241
01:18:21,630 --> 01:18:26,090
But we start first with the exploding cyber

2242
01:18:26,090 --> 01:18:29,070
truck outside of Trump Hotel.

2243
01:18:29,350 --> 01:18:30,310
We have a new twist.

2244
01:18:30,310 --> 01:18:32,750
Well, now to major developments in the investigation.

2245
01:18:32,950 --> 01:18:34,170
I'm sorry, a major development.

2246
01:18:34,490 --> 01:18:36,950
Into the Colorado Springs man linked to last

2247
01:18:36,950 --> 01:18:39,130
week's cyber truck explosion in Las Vegas.

2248
01:18:39,690 --> 01:18:42,850
Authorities say Matthew Livalsberger, an active duty US

2249
01:18:42,850 --> 01:18:46,530
Army Green Beret, used artificial intelligence to plan

2250
01:18:46,530 --> 01:18:47,150
the blast.

2251
01:18:47,310 --> 01:18:50,050
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reports that

2252
01:18:50,050 --> 01:18:54,470
Matthew Livalsberger used chat GPT to gather information

2253
01:18:54,470 --> 01:18:55,310
for his plot.

2254
01:18:55,310 --> 01:18:58,790
Officials did not indicate what results chat GPT

2255
01:18:58,790 --> 01:19:01,110
gave the suspect in response to his searches

2256
01:19:01,110 --> 01:19:03,210
about explosives and firearms.

2257
01:19:03,450 --> 01:19:06,730
Video shows Livalsberger pouring racing fuel in the

2258
01:19:06,730 --> 01:19:09,370
back of a cyber truck, where investigators said

2259
01:19:09,370 --> 01:19:11,690
there was more than 60 pounds of explosive

2260
01:19:11,690 --> 01:19:12,270
material.

2261
01:19:12,890 --> 01:19:15,350
Officials also finding a six page manifesto on

2262
01:19:15,350 --> 01:19:18,970
Livalsberger's cell phone, outlining numerous political and social

2263
01:19:18,970 --> 01:19:19,670
grievances.

2264
01:19:19,870 --> 01:19:21,910
And speaking about his intent to quote, make

2265
01:19:21,910 --> 01:19:23,690
this as public as possible.

2266
01:19:23,690 --> 01:19:26,070
So AI is good, good.

2267
01:19:26,170 --> 01:19:28,230
We bring in some AI for some, you

2268
01:19:28,230 --> 01:19:30,570
know, some discussions about how dangerous it is.

2269
01:19:31,110 --> 01:19:32,470
And not to be left out.

2270
01:19:32,550 --> 01:19:33,390
No, no, no, no.

2271
01:19:33,470 --> 01:19:35,670
More tech companies need to be involved in

2272
01:19:35,670 --> 01:19:37,090
these attacks who go to New Orleans.

2273
01:19:37,390 --> 01:19:40,650
Well, this as investigators have uncovered video taken

2274
01:19:40,650 --> 01:19:44,350
by the suspect using meta smart glasses.

2275
01:19:45,670 --> 01:19:49,050
Shamsudeen Jabbar recorded scenes while he rode a

2276
01:19:49,050 --> 01:19:50,470
bike around the French Quarter.

2277
01:19:50,470 --> 01:19:54,370
Surveillance video shows Jabbar with what investigators say

2278
01:19:54,370 --> 01:19:57,430
are two explosives inside of coolers.

2279
01:19:57,790 --> 01:20:01,510
They say he planned those in the area,

2280
01:20:01,790 --> 01:20:03,670
planted them right before the attack.

2281
01:20:04,030 --> 01:20:06,270
The explosives never detonated.

2282
01:20:07,030 --> 01:20:07,890
Meta glasses.

2283
01:20:09,050 --> 01:20:09,550
Beautiful.

2284
01:20:10,490 --> 01:20:11,550
Tech is great.

2285
01:20:13,310 --> 01:20:16,010
And then we have our guy was supposed

2286
01:20:16,010 --> 01:20:16,910
to be broken.

2287
01:20:17,150 --> 01:20:19,130
All the rest of the body glasses.

2288
01:20:19,130 --> 01:20:20,410
He had meta glasses.

2289
01:20:20,690 --> 01:20:23,470
Well, it's obvious his intent was not to

2290
01:20:23,470 --> 01:20:24,350
mow people down.

2291
01:20:24,430 --> 01:20:25,770
It was to detonate bombs.

2292
01:20:26,510 --> 01:20:27,950
And he had a transmitter.

2293
01:20:28,070 --> 01:20:29,350
He had a transmitter, but he didn't get

2294
01:20:29,350 --> 01:20:31,230
a chance to hit the transmitter for some

2295
01:20:31,230 --> 01:20:31,410
reason.

2296
01:20:31,470 --> 01:20:32,790
Or maybe he was and it was a

2297
01:20:32,790 --> 01:20:35,490
bogus transmitter given to him by an undercover

2298
01:20:35,490 --> 01:20:38,510
FBI agent, which seems to be the typical.

2299
01:20:38,810 --> 01:20:40,470
Well, that's what exactly what it was.

2300
01:20:40,570 --> 01:20:42,410
That's what usually happens with these things.

2301
01:20:43,050 --> 01:20:46,770
Um, someone sent me, um, the definition of

2302
01:20:46,770 --> 01:20:47,890
a targeting officer.

2303
01:20:47,930 --> 01:20:49,850
We're talking about Sarah Adams here for a

2304
01:20:49,850 --> 01:20:50,090
moment.

2305
01:20:50,390 --> 01:20:52,090
It's interesting that, you know, a lot of

2306
01:20:52,090 --> 01:20:53,830
people were kind of upset.

2307
01:20:54,030 --> 01:20:55,530
Oh, I wouldn't say super upset.

2308
01:20:55,670 --> 01:20:57,210
Some even said, I'm saying this with a

2309
01:20:57,210 --> 01:20:57,770
kind voice.

2310
01:20:57,850 --> 01:20:58,830
Please don't do my voice.

2311
01:20:59,910 --> 01:21:02,650
Um, you know, they, they all think that,

2312
01:21:02,730 --> 01:21:05,810
um, gosh, the programming is so deep.

2313
01:21:06,770 --> 01:21:10,530
Um, that all of these, uh, ex-military

2314
01:21:10,530 --> 01:21:11,530
podcasters.

2315
01:21:11,530 --> 01:21:12,190
Oh yeah.

2316
01:21:12,310 --> 01:21:12,770
That guy.

2317
01:21:12,970 --> 01:21:15,190
They're really, I mean, they're really just, you

2318
01:21:15,190 --> 01:21:17,350
know, they're upset because they fought all their,

2319
01:21:17,570 --> 01:21:19,690
you know, their careers fighting ISIS.

2320
01:21:19,710 --> 01:21:22,350
And now, you know, they're inside the country

2321
01:21:22,350 --> 01:21:24,190
and they're going to attack us, which is

2322
01:21:24,190 --> 01:21:26,250
supposedly is revenge for bin Laden.

2323
01:21:26,390 --> 01:21:28,330
I don't know why they waited for Trump.

2324
01:21:29,550 --> 01:21:32,550
Um, and yeah, Biden was an easier, softer

2325
01:21:32,550 --> 01:21:33,110
target.

2326
01:21:33,230 --> 01:21:33,510
Yeah.

2327
01:21:33,570 --> 01:21:36,450
So Biden is more closely connected to the

2328
01:21:36,450 --> 01:21:38,610
bin Laden, uh, murder and, you know, and

2329
01:21:38,610 --> 01:21:39,130
then Hello.

2330
01:21:39,730 --> 01:21:40,170
Yes.

2331
01:21:40,370 --> 01:21:40,570
Hello.

2332
01:21:40,730 --> 01:21:42,410
And they bring up, uh, you know, the

2333
01:21:42,410 --> 01:21:45,790
Chinese buying up farmlands, the Chinese men of

2334
01:21:45,790 --> 01:21:46,170
military.

2335
01:21:46,410 --> 01:21:49,090
This is all psychological operation.

2336
01:21:49,230 --> 01:21:51,730
I mean, it's just, it's just to get

2337
01:21:51,730 --> 01:21:54,970
everybody on edge and then to start to

2338
01:21:54,970 --> 01:21:55,970
form a narrative.

2339
01:21:55,970 --> 01:21:59,990
So here's the, you can actually, um, USA

2340
01:21:59,990 --> 01:22:03,210
jobs.gov has a job available as a

2341
01:22:03,210 --> 01:22:04,510
CIA targeting officer.

2342
01:22:04,510 --> 01:22:07,410
And, uh, let's just see what the details

2343
01:22:07,410 --> 01:22:11,010
are as a targeting officer at CIA.

2344
01:22:11,290 --> 01:22:14,790
You will identify the people relationships and organizations

2345
01:22:14,790 --> 01:22:18,010
having access to the information needed to address

2346
01:22:18,010 --> 01:22:21,850
the most critical us foreign intelligence requirements and

2347
01:22:21,850 --> 01:22:26,010
find opportunities to disrupt terrorist attacks, illegal arms

2348
01:22:26,010 --> 01:22:30,090
trade, dark drug networks, cyber threats, and counterintelligence

2349
01:22:30,090 --> 01:22:30,550
threats.

2350
01:22:31,210 --> 01:22:33,450
As a targeting officer at CIA, you will

2351
01:22:33,450 --> 01:22:40,110
identify the people, uh, and organizations having access

2352
01:22:40,110 --> 01:22:42,490
to the information needed to address these most

2353
01:22:42,490 --> 01:22:45,450
critical us foreign intelligence requirements.

2354
01:22:46,190 --> 01:22:48,390
Targeting officers are integral to the planning and

2355
01:22:48,390 --> 01:22:53,530
implementation implementation of directorate of operations, foreign

2356
01:22:53,530 --> 01:22:57,390
intelligence collection, counterintelligence, and covert action operations.

2357
01:22:57,950 --> 01:23:02,010
You'll combine specialized training, utilize advanced analytic skills

2358
01:23:02,010 --> 01:23:04,330
and tools and in-depth knowledge and experience

2359
01:23:04,330 --> 01:23:09,110
in the directorate of operations, operational trade craft

2360
01:23:09,110 --> 01:23:12,950
to identify new opportunities for DO activities and

2361
01:23:12,950 --> 01:23:14,610
enhance ongoing operations.

2362
01:23:15,110 --> 01:23:17,010
Well, it seems like someone who, where did

2363
01:23:17,010 --> 01:23:18,470
that ad come from?

2364
01:23:18,570 --> 01:23:22,990
USA jobs.gov. That is a screwy as

2365
01:23:22,990 --> 01:23:23,250
ad.

2366
01:23:23,330 --> 01:23:25,170
You wouldn't advertise like that.

2367
01:23:25,170 --> 01:23:28,030
Well, I think that Sarah Adams is doing

2368
01:23:28,030 --> 01:23:30,110
her job quite well, although she's billed as

2369
01:23:30,110 --> 01:23:31,690
a former targeting officer.

2370
01:23:31,910 --> 01:23:34,350
She's, she's done exactly what she needs to

2371
01:23:34,350 --> 01:23:34,470
do.

2372
01:23:34,550 --> 01:23:36,210
She's infiltrated these podcasts.

2373
01:23:36,450 --> 01:23:38,190
She's treated like royalty.

2374
01:23:38,370 --> 01:23:40,590
Oh no, she's legit because she wrote a

2375
01:23:40,590 --> 01:23:41,510
book on Benghazi.

2376
01:23:41,650 --> 01:23:42,550
Was she in Benghazi?

2377
01:23:42,730 --> 01:23:43,030
No.

2378
01:23:43,710 --> 01:23:44,170
Okay.

2379
01:23:45,030 --> 01:23:48,050
And it's already seeped through to Fox news.

2380
01:23:48,810 --> 01:23:52,470
This is, um, Emily who co-hosts, uh,

2381
01:23:52,470 --> 01:23:53,830
outnumbered on Fox.

2382
01:23:54,710 --> 01:23:57,850
Campagna, the ex-chairleader for the Oakland Raiders.

2383
01:23:59,030 --> 01:23:59,150
Yeah.

2384
01:23:59,390 --> 01:24:01,730
University of California, another university of California person.

2385
01:24:02,210 --> 01:24:03,010
Here we go.

2386
01:24:03,230 --> 01:24:04,990
And the broader picture too, as we all

2387
01:24:04,990 --> 01:24:06,930
head down the pike of 2025 is that

2388
01:24:06,930 --> 01:24:08,790
we need to steward intelligence appropriately.

2389
01:24:09,270 --> 01:24:11,370
Sarah Adams and her incredible intelligence group.

2390
01:24:11,470 --> 01:24:13,630
She was a former CIA targeter, has talked

2391
01:24:13,630 --> 01:24:16,470
at length about what to expect in 2025,

2392
01:24:16,690 --> 01:24:17,030
2025.

2393
01:24:17,530 --> 01:24:19,170
And there are two things to note.

2394
01:24:19,250 --> 01:24:21,470
Number one, that those terrorist groups who are

2395
01:24:21,470 --> 01:24:23,530
acting in concert with each other have great

2396
01:24:23,530 --> 01:24:26,190
plans for the United States and Europe and

2397
01:24:26,190 --> 01:24:27,050
parts of the Middle East.

2398
01:24:27,150 --> 01:24:28,610
And those come in the forms of surges

2399
01:24:28,610 --> 01:24:30,970
and waves and expecting in terms of large

2400
01:24:30,970 --> 01:24:34,930
group, uh, activities and sports events, embassies, train

2401
01:24:34,930 --> 01:24:35,910
stations and the like.

2402
01:24:35,950 --> 01:24:38,650
And also their advancements in technology, which include

2403
01:24:38,650 --> 01:24:41,230
invisible suicide vests and certain weapons that can

2404
01:24:41,230 --> 01:24:42,950
make, Oh, it's, it's gone from invisible.

2405
01:24:43,170 --> 01:24:46,390
It's gone from invisible bombs to invisible suicide

2406
01:24:46,390 --> 01:24:46,990
vests.

2407
01:24:47,070 --> 01:24:48,510
Now this is a step up from where

2408
01:24:48,510 --> 01:24:48,930
we were.

2409
01:24:49,050 --> 01:24:51,590
To include invisible suicide vests and certain weapons

2410
01:24:51,590 --> 01:24:53,430
that can make it through those, those metal

2411
01:24:53,430 --> 01:24:54,350
detectors and more.

2412
01:24:54,730 --> 01:24:56,330
All of this is coming down the pike,

2413
01:24:56,410 --> 01:24:57,870
but means nothing to the American people.

2414
01:24:57,950 --> 01:24:59,990
If our Southern border and Northern are so

2415
01:24:59,990 --> 01:25:02,150
porous that they can get these, these machines

2416
01:25:02,150 --> 01:25:03,990
and people through, and then we don't steer

2417
01:25:03,990 --> 01:25:06,090
these resources appropriately so they can run rampant

2418
01:25:06,090 --> 01:25:06,490
through the city.

2419
01:25:06,570 --> 01:25:07,910
Now I know this person has been identified

2420
01:25:07,910 --> 01:25:09,990
as a lone wolf, but the point is

2421
01:25:09,990 --> 01:25:11,270
that the risk is great.

2422
01:25:11,730 --> 01:25:13,050
And this kind of stuff is not a

2423
01:25:13,050 --> 01:25:14,750
one step myopic approach.

2424
01:25:14,890 --> 01:25:16,790
We need to have a longterm view and

2425
01:25:16,790 --> 01:25:19,490
a longterm collection of these, these assets and

2426
01:25:19,490 --> 01:25:21,610
this, this intelligence so that we do the

2427
01:25:21,610 --> 01:25:22,630
right things with it.

2428
01:25:22,710 --> 01:25:23,090
I have faith.

2429
01:25:23,130 --> 01:25:25,490
It'll start happening after January 20th.

2430
01:25:25,650 --> 01:25:27,410
This is, I mean, she's, I don't think

2431
01:25:27,410 --> 01:25:29,290
she's an analyst on this stuff, so she's

2432
01:25:29,290 --> 01:25:30,930
being told what to say, or maybe she's

2433
01:25:30,930 --> 01:25:33,130
reading off the prompter, but it became a

2434
01:25:33,130 --> 01:25:36,370
little more clear with this NPR interview with

2435
01:25:36,370 --> 01:25:40,030
a professor of Islamic history from Dartmouth university.

2436
01:25:40,610 --> 01:25:43,050
And he makes it very clear that we

2437
01:25:43,050 --> 01:25:44,150
gotta be very careful.

2438
01:25:44,310 --> 01:25:46,530
We have some confirmation hearings coming up.

2439
01:25:46,530 --> 01:25:49,470
I keep to my original thesis and just

2440
01:25:49,470 --> 01:25:51,150
to be clear, you're saying the FBI on

2441
01:25:51,150 --> 01:25:53,510
a weekly basis is breaking up attacks here

2442
01:25:53,510 --> 01:25:55,910
on us soil on a weekly basis.

2443
01:25:56,030 --> 01:25:56,250
No, no.

2444
01:25:56,350 --> 01:25:57,610
Six weekly basis.

2445
01:25:57,970 --> 01:25:58,890
That is correct.

2446
01:25:59,050 --> 01:25:59,150
Yeah.

2447
01:25:59,270 --> 01:25:59,430
Yeah.

2448
01:25:59,590 --> 01:26:03,370
I follow the FBI's arrest of ISIS operatives

2449
01:26:03,370 --> 01:26:06,190
on a daily basis and hardly a week

2450
01:26:06,190 --> 01:26:08,950
goes by where they are not just disrupting

2451
01:26:08,950 --> 01:26:12,230
their job is to deter, disrupt, and, and

2452
01:26:12,230 --> 01:26:13,750
in some ways, prevent new attacks.

2453
01:26:14,430 --> 01:26:16,110
And they are being so vigilant, you know,

2454
01:26:16,110 --> 01:26:17,450
but they can't make one mistake.

2455
01:26:17,530 --> 01:26:19,390
They can't miss one because they do.

2456
01:26:19,510 --> 01:26:21,890
We might have another bourbon street style massacre.

2457
01:26:22,510 --> 01:26:24,010
So, you know, they really have a lot

2458
01:26:24,010 --> 01:26:24,350
of fun.

2459
01:26:24,750 --> 01:26:24,970
What?

2460
01:26:25,650 --> 01:26:27,650
Wait, if they miss that, if they miss

2461
01:26:27,650 --> 01:26:29,270
even one, they're going to have another bourbon.

2462
01:26:29,410 --> 01:26:29,910
Wait a minute.

2463
01:26:29,970 --> 01:26:31,230
They missed that one.

2464
01:26:31,370 --> 01:26:31,550
Yeah.

2465
01:26:31,890 --> 01:26:34,770
I know this guy, he's clear what his

2466
01:26:34,770 --> 01:26:35,590
job is.

2467
01:26:36,130 --> 01:26:39,910
His job is to tell NPR that these

2468
01:26:39,910 --> 01:26:41,570
new people coming in Tulsi.

2469
01:26:41,570 --> 01:26:42,230
No good.

2470
01:26:42,410 --> 01:26:42,610
Yeah.

2471
01:26:42,670 --> 01:26:43,130
No good.

2472
01:26:43,330 --> 01:26:43,770
No good.

2473
01:26:43,950 --> 01:26:46,010
We don't want to cash Patel for sure.

2474
01:26:46,110 --> 01:26:47,030
I'm glad you mentioned it.

2475
01:26:47,230 --> 01:26:49,370
We might have another bourbon street style massacre.

2476
01:26:50,010 --> 01:26:51,430
So, you know, they really have a lot

2477
01:26:51,430 --> 01:26:52,170
of pressure on them.

2478
01:26:52,230 --> 01:26:54,570
And I fear that when Donald Trump comes

2479
01:26:54,570 --> 01:26:56,950
in and announces that he's the disruptor in

2480
01:26:56,950 --> 01:26:59,790
chief, he is going to disrupt the FBI

2481
01:26:59,790 --> 01:27:01,790
by putting someone like cash Patel.

2482
01:27:02,050 --> 01:27:04,650
I've heard nothing from the Trump administration or

2483
01:27:04,650 --> 01:27:06,930
from cash Patel, who Trump has nominated to

2484
01:27:06,930 --> 01:27:10,010
be the head of the FBI about using

2485
01:27:10,010 --> 01:27:12,190
the FBI to protect American lives.

2486
01:27:12,510 --> 01:27:14,290
Well, well, and we want to weaponize it

2487
01:27:14,290 --> 01:27:15,430
to go after political opponents.

2488
01:27:15,690 --> 01:27:18,470
Well, and we know that cash Patel, Trump's

2489
01:27:18,470 --> 01:27:21,210
FBI director nominee calls the FBI the deep

2490
01:27:21,210 --> 01:27:23,470
state because the agency investigated Trump.

2491
01:27:23,610 --> 01:27:26,830
So a political opponent in his eyes.

2492
01:27:26,930 --> 01:27:27,710
Oh, OK.

2493
01:27:27,930 --> 01:27:29,070
We know that way.

2494
01:27:29,130 --> 01:27:31,410
And NPR, we know it's just because we

2495
01:27:31,410 --> 01:27:32,890
know that we know that hates him.

2496
01:27:32,890 --> 01:27:35,510
But we mentioned that they mentioned the bogus

2497
01:27:35,510 --> 01:27:40,170
FISA warrants or the spying at the Trump

2498
01:27:40,170 --> 01:27:40,630
Tower.

2499
01:27:41,090 --> 01:27:42,050
No, no.

2500
01:27:42,250 --> 01:27:44,290
And wiretaps, illegal wiretaps.

2501
01:27:44,430 --> 01:27:45,350
They mentioned any of that stuff.

2502
01:27:45,470 --> 01:27:47,350
No, Trump is going to put us all

2503
01:27:47,350 --> 01:27:49,610
in peril with his serious strategy.

2504
01:27:49,910 --> 01:27:51,810
So, yes, that concern.

2505
01:27:52,230 --> 01:27:55,250
Are you also concerned about President Trump bringing

2506
01:27:55,250 --> 01:27:56,810
troops out of Syria?

2507
01:27:56,850 --> 01:27:59,650
Because we know in Syria, we've got the

2508
01:27:59,650 --> 01:28:01,590
pro-American Kurds running a third of the

2509
01:28:01,590 --> 01:28:03,370
country, the other part of the country is

2510
01:28:03,370 --> 01:28:05,550
running is being run by fighters who had

2511
01:28:05,550 --> 01:28:06,430
ties to ISIS.

2512
01:28:06,890 --> 01:28:09,050
The Kurds are holding ISIS fighters in these

2513
01:28:09,050 --> 01:28:11,450
open air prisons that are only fomenting.

2514
01:28:11,690 --> 01:28:12,210
Let them go.

2515
01:28:12,310 --> 01:28:14,450
More support for ISIS.

2516
01:28:14,810 --> 01:28:17,190
And Donald Trump is talking about withdrawing all

2517
01:28:17,190 --> 01:28:18,470
the 2000 U.S. troops.

2518
01:28:19,250 --> 01:28:22,110
Are you worried about the Kurds being overrun,

2519
01:28:22,210 --> 01:28:23,810
those ISIS fighters being unleashed?

2520
01:28:23,930 --> 01:28:25,910
I mean, what are your thoughts about Syria?

2521
01:28:25,910 --> 01:28:29,110
No, I spent time on the ground there

2522
01:28:29,110 --> 01:28:33,430
with those brave pro-women's rights, pro-Christian,

2523
01:28:33,950 --> 01:28:35,910
pro-American Democratic Kurds.

2524
01:28:36,350 --> 01:28:38,290
But then along comes Trump, and he gets

2525
01:28:38,290 --> 01:28:39,430
bored of the wars.

2526
01:28:39,630 --> 01:28:41,390
And he decides he's gonna just yank all

2527
01:28:41,390 --> 01:28:41,970
- He's bored.

2528
01:28:42,010 --> 01:28:43,990
He's bored of the wars because the rest

2529
01:28:43,990 --> 01:28:45,330
of America wants them.

2530
01:28:45,430 --> 01:28:47,650
Then along comes Trump, and he gets bored

2531
01:28:47,650 --> 01:28:48,330
of the wars.

2532
01:28:48,470 --> 01:28:50,350
And he decides he's gonna just yank all

2533
01:28:50,350 --> 01:28:52,490
of our troops out without any discussion with

2534
01:28:52,490 --> 01:28:56,070
the Pentagon, who's waging this counterinsurgency to stop

2535
01:28:56,070 --> 01:28:59,330
ISIS, which has not 100% been defeated,

2536
01:28:59,630 --> 01:29:01,290
as Trump falsely proclaims.

2537
01:29:01,390 --> 01:29:03,510
That is a very, very dangerous lie.

2538
01:29:04,030 --> 01:29:05,450
ISIS has not been defeated.

2539
01:29:05,830 --> 01:29:06,750
They have regrouped.

2540
01:29:06,870 --> 01:29:07,550
They are resilient.

2541
01:29:07,990 --> 01:29:11,810
They are waging a timeless war of attrition.

2542
01:29:12,030 --> 01:29:13,070
They call Nakia.

2543
01:29:13,370 --> 01:29:15,570
Nakia means outlasting the enemy, as we saw

2544
01:29:15,570 --> 01:29:17,250
the Taliban do in Afghanistan.

2545
01:29:17,490 --> 01:29:18,370
That's right, Nakia.

2546
01:29:18,490 --> 01:29:19,150
It's Nakia.

2547
01:29:19,150 --> 01:29:20,630
Nakia in America.

2548
01:29:35,190 --> 01:29:39,710
One of our producers put together a website,

2549
01:29:39,870 --> 01:29:44,310
which is borderline good taste.

2550
01:29:45,370 --> 01:29:46,450
I know it.

2551
01:29:48,930 --> 01:29:49,810
Isisflags.com.

2552
01:29:50,170 --> 01:29:50,970
Just take a look.

2553
01:29:51,030 --> 01:29:51,650
It's pretty funny.

2554
01:29:52,530 --> 01:29:53,950
Planning your next terrorist attack?

2555
01:29:54,290 --> 01:29:55,150
The pressure is on.

2556
01:29:55,310 --> 01:29:56,810
Every six weeks, a new story.

2557
01:29:57,230 --> 01:29:58,730
Every six weeks, a mention on the No

2558
01:29:58,730 --> 01:29:59,390
Agenda Show.

2559
01:29:59,810 --> 01:30:01,670
While you are scheming to create a scenario

2560
01:30:01,670 --> 01:30:03,590
that fits the narrative, why not buy your

2561
01:30:03,590 --> 01:30:05,970
ISIS flags right here and support the best

2562
01:30:05,970 --> 01:30:07,330
podcast in the universe?

2563
01:30:07,730 --> 01:30:08,690
Oh, geez.

2564
01:30:10,670 --> 01:30:11,750
Knock on the door.

2565
01:30:13,090 --> 01:30:14,390
It's very humorous.

2566
01:30:14,470 --> 01:30:15,890
What is the six-week cycle?

2567
01:30:15,890 --> 01:30:19,310
Yeah, what is value for value?

2568
01:30:19,530 --> 01:30:20,670
I mean, all of it is good.

2569
01:30:22,690 --> 01:30:24,210
Some work was put into it.

2570
01:30:24,270 --> 01:30:25,170
I appreciate it.

2571
01:30:25,630 --> 01:30:27,590
But this is what they're doing.

2572
01:30:28,350 --> 01:30:30,910
And I'm just sad because I think good

2573
01:30:30,910 --> 01:30:33,370
guys, I think Sean Ryan's a good guy.

2574
01:30:34,530 --> 01:30:36,810
They're just being psyoped into this.

2575
01:30:37,270 --> 01:30:40,450
It's like, this is not necessary.

2576
01:30:42,030 --> 01:30:43,850
But it is necessary.

2577
01:30:43,850 --> 01:30:48,030
Well, from their perspective, it's very necessary.

2578
01:30:48,350 --> 01:30:48,690
I agree.

2579
01:30:48,830 --> 01:30:49,630
I agree with you there.

2580
01:30:50,950 --> 01:30:51,370
I agree.

2581
01:30:54,450 --> 01:30:55,950
Let me see.

2582
01:30:56,510 --> 01:30:59,430
By the way, I was thinking, just back

2583
01:30:59,430 --> 01:31:00,310
to Musk for a second.

2584
01:31:01,590 --> 01:31:06,250
Depending on what happens with TikTok, wouldn't that

2585
01:31:06,250 --> 01:31:08,390
be perfect for Musk to take over TikTok?

2586
01:31:10,830 --> 01:31:12,130
I'm sure he'd love to.

2587
01:31:12,370 --> 01:31:12,670
Yeah.

2588
01:31:12,670 --> 01:31:14,410
Well, why wouldn't he make it happen?

2589
01:31:14,990 --> 01:31:19,770
By the way, and this is not meant

2590
01:31:19,770 --> 01:31:23,470
to usurp, but meant to encourage you.

2591
01:31:24,190 --> 01:31:25,830
I can't believe I'm saying that.

2592
01:31:26,730 --> 01:31:31,070
I have a single TikTok clip of a

2593
01:31:31,070 --> 01:31:31,870
Doolooloo girl.

2594
01:31:33,430 --> 01:31:35,070
Oh, is it one of my Doolooloo girls

2595
01:31:35,070 --> 01:31:36,210
you think is the one I have?

2596
01:31:36,310 --> 01:31:37,030
I don't know.

2597
01:31:37,170 --> 01:31:38,210
Oh, maybe it is.

2598
01:31:39,050 --> 01:31:39,530
Let me see.

2599
01:31:39,530 --> 01:31:40,690
I'll start it.

2600
01:31:40,750 --> 01:31:42,250
And if it's her, you'll tell me to

2601
01:31:42,250 --> 01:31:42,510
stop.

2602
01:31:42,550 --> 01:31:43,550
And then I'll let you do your clips.

2603
01:31:43,630 --> 01:31:44,170
Here we go.

2604
01:31:46,510 --> 01:31:47,010
That's her.

2605
01:31:47,210 --> 01:31:47,850
I got that one.

2606
01:31:47,990 --> 01:31:48,570
Okay, do it.

2607
01:31:48,850 --> 01:31:49,930
I can tell already.

2608
01:31:50,110 --> 01:31:50,610
You do it.

2609
01:31:50,970 --> 01:31:52,330
Do your Doolooloo girls.

2610
01:31:52,430 --> 01:31:54,810
Because this, I did some research into this.

2611
01:31:54,850 --> 01:31:55,910
This is very interesting.

2612
01:31:58,050 --> 01:31:59,850
Well, will they tell me more?

2613
01:32:00,110 --> 01:32:00,490
Well, no.

2614
01:32:00,670 --> 01:32:02,010
Let's do the clips first.

2615
01:32:02,590 --> 01:32:03,270
You got to have the clips.

2616
01:32:03,910 --> 01:32:04,550
That's the law girl.

2617
01:32:04,570 --> 01:32:06,490
Well, the one, I think this is the

2618
01:32:06,490 --> 01:32:08,130
one that you have, which is the law

2619
01:32:08,130 --> 01:32:08,470
girl.

2620
01:32:08,550 --> 01:32:08,890
Yes.

2621
01:32:08,890 --> 01:32:10,590
This is Doolooloo 4.

2622
01:32:10,790 --> 01:32:11,950
Yeah, exact same link.

2623
01:32:12,190 --> 01:32:14,770
And she cites some law, which has nothing

2624
01:32:14,770 --> 01:32:15,570
to do with anything.

2625
01:32:15,730 --> 01:32:16,750
I looked at this law.

2626
01:32:17,030 --> 01:32:17,710
Yeah, I did the same.

2627
01:32:17,730 --> 01:32:20,610
And it just says, you know, you can't

2628
01:32:20,610 --> 01:32:21,690
rig an election.

2629
01:32:22,990 --> 01:32:26,610
Well, I tried to get into it to

2630
01:32:26,610 --> 01:32:28,610
understand why she thinks that.

2631
01:32:28,630 --> 01:32:30,410
Well, let's play the clip and that'll make

2632
01:32:30,410 --> 01:32:31,110
it a little more clear.

2633
01:32:34,020 --> 01:32:35,460
That right there, it should be.

2634
01:32:35,660 --> 01:32:36,580
Do you ISO that?

2635
01:32:36,700 --> 01:32:38,640
Because that's the ISO of the year.

2636
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:40,800
It's definitely ISO material.

2637
01:32:41,580 --> 01:32:45,280
Because honey, what I need is law.

2638
01:32:45,620 --> 01:32:47,820
And that is the law.

2639
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:51,680
And maybe listen, when I read that, when

2640
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:57,320
I read that, I hollered, oh, because I

2641
01:32:57,320 --> 01:33:00,360
knew it had to exist somewhere, but I

2642
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:01,240
didn't know where to look.

2643
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:02,860
I didn't know how to find it.

2644
01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:06,200
I just had to trust that it existed.

2645
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:08,980
And this is the part that I really

2646
01:33:08,980 --> 01:33:09,740
trusted in.

2647
01:33:09,860 --> 01:33:13,100
You've got a woman who has fought for

2648
01:33:13,100 --> 01:33:16,520
her career to ascend to these levels that

2649
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:18,940
she's gotten to for her entire career.

2650
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:20,880
She's been about public service.

2651
01:33:21,380 --> 01:33:25,540
She served in three levels of public service

2652
01:33:25,540 --> 01:33:26,900
in the law.

2653
01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:28,480
She is a prosecutor.

2654
01:33:28,900 --> 01:33:31,260
Of course, she knows this stuff.

2655
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:32,540
And you know what else?

2656
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:35,880
The Obamas produced a movie about this.

2657
01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:38,200
They laid out the whole plan for us.

2658
01:33:38,380 --> 01:33:39,700
And at the end of that movie, I

2659
01:33:39,700 --> 01:33:41,380
already told you about it in a couple

2660
01:33:41,380 --> 01:33:42,700
of videos back.

2661
01:33:43,180 --> 01:33:45,880
At the end of the movie, the girl

2662
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:50,640
is in the bunker eating snacks, watching friends,

2663
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:51,560
listening.

2664
01:33:52,820 --> 01:33:55,320
That is what I needed.

2665
01:33:55,980 --> 01:33:57,320
That gave me air.

2666
01:34:02,750 --> 01:34:05,350
Baby, let the clown show begin.

2667
01:34:06,590 --> 01:34:07,250
It started.

2668
01:34:07,250 --> 01:34:08,050
It just started.

2669
01:34:16,750 --> 01:34:19,410
That was good news for my day.

2670
01:34:20,710 --> 01:34:22,010
My goodness.

2671
01:34:23,170 --> 01:34:24,730
She's going to be very disappointed.

2672
01:34:25,750 --> 01:34:32,770
So she refers to a what it was

2673
01:34:32,770 --> 01:34:36,610
a term she had like a legal rule

2674
01:34:36,610 --> 01:34:37,230
or something.

2675
01:34:37,830 --> 01:34:41,330
But she refers to 9-85.300, non

2676
01:34:41,330 --> 01:34:45,370
-interference in elections when conducting federal criminal investigations

2677
01:34:45,370 --> 01:34:46,310
and ballot fraud.

2678
01:34:47,950 --> 01:34:50,250
And so they say that the department has

2679
01:34:50,250 --> 01:34:52,830
a limited role in the process of investigating

2680
01:34:52,830 --> 01:34:57,950
ballot fraud and should generally avoid interfering or

2681
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:02,050
appear to interfere with election administration, tabulation, validation,

2682
01:35:02,210 --> 01:35:03,150
or certification.

2683
01:35:04,110 --> 01:35:07,690
And therefore, the Department of Justice should not

2684
01:35:07,690 --> 01:35:11,110
engage in any overt criminal investigative measures in

2685
01:35:11,110 --> 01:35:13,790
matters involving alleged ballot fraud until the election

2686
01:35:13,790 --> 01:35:17,050
in question has been concluded, its results certified

2687
01:35:17,050 --> 01:35:20,190
and all recounts and election contests concluded.

2688
01:35:20,830 --> 01:35:24,030
So I think what she is saying is

2689
01:35:24,030 --> 01:35:27,190
that there was some massive ballot fraud, which

2690
01:35:27,190 --> 01:35:30,490
I think is true because somehow 15 million

2691
01:35:30,490 --> 01:35:32,090
Democrat ballots disappeared.

2692
01:35:32,710 --> 01:35:35,070
I think Trump took those or Elon might

2693
01:35:35,070 --> 01:35:36,690
have taken them up to Starlink.

2694
01:35:38,710 --> 01:35:43,810
And therefore, therefore, therefore, this will be declared

2695
01:35:43,810 --> 01:35:44,710
null and void.

2696
01:35:44,890 --> 01:35:47,290
And Kamala Harris will be seated on her

2697
01:35:47,290 --> 01:35:49,590
throne as the president of the United States.

2698
01:35:50,290 --> 01:35:52,430
I think that must be the interpretation.

2699
01:35:53,430 --> 01:35:55,910
And because I have a couple more clips

2700
01:35:55,910 --> 01:35:59,330
of dudes, dudes that say that kind of

2701
01:35:59,330 --> 01:36:01,390
because they've been black women mostly, but these

2702
01:36:01,390 --> 01:36:03,090
dudes are saying the same thing and what

2703
01:36:03,090 --> 01:36:05,350
they're and the argument is now the current

2704
01:36:05,350 --> 01:36:07,970
argument is, well, they have to.

2705
01:36:08,450 --> 01:36:10,150
The reason that Kamala went up and they

2706
01:36:10,150 --> 01:36:14,010
confirm the election, the results of the election,

2707
01:36:14,110 --> 01:36:18,250
they had to do that in advance of

2708
01:36:18,250 --> 01:36:22,070
them being able to put the charges together.

2709
01:36:22,730 --> 01:36:24,790
OK, because if you had if you don't

2710
01:36:24,790 --> 01:36:28,650
make the election official, then then you haven't

2711
01:36:28,650 --> 01:36:29,750
committed the crime yet.

2712
01:36:30,030 --> 01:36:30,910
Oh, oh, it has to.

2713
01:36:31,010 --> 01:36:32,170
The crime has to be committed.

2714
01:36:32,270 --> 01:36:33,210
So which one is this?

2715
01:36:33,650 --> 01:36:34,030
Duluth?

2716
01:36:34,370 --> 01:36:34,710
Well, I don't know.

2717
01:36:34,770 --> 01:36:36,190
I think both these guys kind of say

2718
01:36:36,190 --> 01:36:36,770
something the same.

2719
01:36:36,830 --> 01:36:37,390
I got two of them.

2720
01:36:37,390 --> 01:36:38,990
Let's start with dude number three.

2721
01:36:39,430 --> 01:36:40,490
Everyone doing today.

2722
01:36:40,710 --> 01:36:43,110
The election results were technically certified.

2723
01:36:44,690 --> 01:36:45,970
Harris swore them in.

2724
01:36:46,230 --> 01:36:47,770
Did he have a nose ring, John?

2725
01:36:47,830 --> 01:36:48,470
Did he have a.

2726
01:36:48,630 --> 01:36:50,230
They always have nose rings.

2727
01:36:50,610 --> 01:36:51,410
I do.

2728
01:36:51,530 --> 01:36:53,170
I have some discussion of those things from

2729
01:36:53,170 --> 01:36:55,270
a nose ring guy who's one of our

2730
01:36:55,270 --> 01:36:59,310
producers pissed off about my assertion that the

2731
01:36:59,310 --> 01:37:00,850
nose rings are a cry for help.

2732
01:37:02,330 --> 01:37:04,130
And people want to be led around by

2733
01:37:04,130 --> 01:37:04,730
the nose.

2734
01:37:04,850 --> 01:37:06,410
That's where the nose ring is very symbolic.

2735
01:37:07,110 --> 01:37:08,670
And he has some comments about that I

2736
01:37:08,670 --> 01:37:10,110
can talk about after these clips.

2737
01:37:10,290 --> 01:37:11,230
Whatever she does.

2738
01:37:11,750 --> 01:37:14,170
And I'm checking in on my blue Delulu

2739
01:37:14,170 --> 01:37:15,970
family.

2740
01:37:17,150 --> 01:37:19,290
So now at this point, the crime has

2741
01:37:19,290 --> 01:37:21,430
officially been committed.

2742
01:37:21,430 --> 01:37:25,710
And did anyone see that after the whole

2743
01:37:25,710 --> 01:37:29,690
Electoral College vote was counted, that those privileged

2744
01:37:29,690 --> 01:37:32,470
resolutions were entered on the books for tomorrow?

2745
01:37:33,150 --> 01:37:34,710
Something is happening, you guys.

2746
01:37:35,210 --> 01:37:37,090
And I know I always sound like a

2747
01:37:37,090 --> 01:37:37,930
conspiracy theorist.

2748
01:37:38,090 --> 01:37:39,950
I've said this for weeks and months, and

2749
01:37:39,950 --> 01:37:43,870
it feels like years, but it's all going

2750
01:37:43,870 --> 01:37:44,250
to happen.

2751
01:37:44,510 --> 01:37:45,310
It's happening.

2752
01:37:45,510 --> 01:37:46,550
It's coming to a head.

2753
01:37:47,250 --> 01:37:49,810
The executive orders that Biden has been passing

2754
01:37:49,810 --> 01:37:53,470
over the last four to five days, the

2755
01:37:53,470 --> 01:37:58,250
vote today, these resolutions, something is going on.

2756
01:37:58,610 --> 01:38:00,270
OMG, not to mention, did you guys see

2757
01:38:00,270 --> 01:38:01,430
JD Vance the whole time?

2758
01:38:02,350 --> 01:38:04,870
Angry and uncomfortable the entire time.

2759
01:38:05,310 --> 01:38:09,070
You ever seen someone who, one, be so

2760
01:38:09,070 --> 01:38:09,570
upset?

2761
01:38:10,170 --> 01:38:14,330
Meanwhile, Trump has been putting out truth social

2762
01:38:14,330 --> 01:38:16,230
posts after truth social posts today.

2763
01:38:16,230 --> 01:38:19,270
And not a single thing about any of

2764
01:38:19,270 --> 01:38:21,110
the government stuff that's going on today.

2765
01:38:21,410 --> 01:38:22,210
I'm just saying.

2766
01:38:23,190 --> 01:38:23,310
Okay.

2767
01:38:23,690 --> 01:38:25,910
Well, there's clear evidence that something is up.

2768
01:38:27,390 --> 01:38:29,250
Yes, because nothing's happening.

2769
01:38:29,430 --> 01:38:30,210
There's proof.

2770
01:38:30,470 --> 01:38:32,550
This is, it's still, I have to say,

2771
01:38:32,590 --> 01:38:36,010
when it comes to Democrat voters and Republican

2772
01:38:36,010 --> 01:38:39,410
voters, I thought the quantum dots was better.

2773
01:38:40,690 --> 01:38:42,430
This is, this is just, they're trying to

2774
01:38:42,430 --> 01:38:44,550
do lawfare where no lawfare exists.

2775
01:38:44,630 --> 01:38:45,570
It's a little disappointing.

2776
01:38:47,890 --> 01:38:51,430
Uh, quantum dots is pretty damn good.

2777
01:38:51,530 --> 01:38:51,990
It's good.

2778
01:38:53,390 --> 01:38:53,910
It's good.

2779
01:38:54,150 --> 01:38:57,410
I mean, you had Steve Pchenik on Alex

2780
01:38:57,410 --> 01:39:00,430
Jones show with Alex laughing in his face.

2781
01:39:02,150 --> 01:39:03,110
After the fact.

2782
01:39:03,210 --> 01:39:03,470
Yes.

2783
01:39:04,050 --> 01:39:05,310
But no, it was before.

2784
01:39:05,870 --> 01:39:06,070
Yeah.

2785
01:39:06,110 --> 01:39:08,130
Well, I thought Alex was always after the,

2786
01:39:08,210 --> 01:39:09,030
it was after the election.

2787
01:39:09,130 --> 01:39:09,310
Yeah.

2788
01:39:09,430 --> 01:39:11,190
But Alex was convinced.

2789
01:39:11,470 --> 01:39:11,690
Yeah.

2790
01:39:12,130 --> 01:39:13,910
The timing was, was awkward.

2791
01:39:14,110 --> 01:39:14,310
Yeah.

2792
01:39:14,410 --> 01:39:15,410
So let's go with this.

2793
01:39:15,410 --> 01:39:16,910
Here's another guy, another dude.

2794
01:39:17,410 --> 01:39:19,910
Trump coming out and calling for a rally

2795
01:39:19,910 --> 01:39:24,770
with his supporters, January 19th, one day before

2796
01:39:24,770 --> 01:39:25,710
the inauguration.

2797
01:39:26,310 --> 01:39:28,970
Why would you need to do that the

2798
01:39:28,970 --> 01:39:33,590
day before you are supposedly being inaugurated the

2799
01:39:33,590 --> 01:39:34,570
47th president?

2800
01:39:34,870 --> 01:39:37,730
He wants those people here in town for

2801
01:39:37,730 --> 01:39:40,390
when it becomes even more evident than it

2802
01:39:40,390 --> 01:39:43,950
already is that under 14th amendment, section three,

2803
01:39:44,150 --> 01:39:46,050
he cannot be sworn in.

2804
01:39:46,370 --> 01:39:47,130
He's done.

2805
01:39:47,590 --> 01:39:48,410
He knows it.

2806
01:39:48,470 --> 01:39:49,790
He's known it for a while.

2807
01:39:50,490 --> 01:39:53,010
Only thing is they're ready for you this

2808
01:39:53,010 --> 01:39:53,590
time, dude.

2809
01:39:57,210 --> 01:39:58,590
Dude, that was great.

2810
01:39:59,130 --> 01:39:59,750
This is it.

2811
01:39:59,770 --> 01:40:00,790
Well, do you want, do you have another

2812
01:40:00,790 --> 01:40:01,290
one or?

2813
01:40:01,890 --> 01:40:03,750
Yeah, this is just a deluded woman.

2814
01:40:03,750 --> 01:40:06,330
That's just rambling about God knows what, but

2815
01:40:06,330 --> 01:40:07,630
it's similar kind of thing.

2816
01:40:07,670 --> 01:40:08,870
And I might as well get rid of

2817
01:40:08,870 --> 01:40:09,210
it.

2818
01:40:09,210 --> 01:40:10,950
I am shook, shaken and stirred right now.

2819
01:40:11,030 --> 01:40:11,930
I had to get out of bed.

2820
01:40:12,130 --> 01:40:15,950
Did you see Kamala Harris's end of the

2821
01:40:15,950 --> 01:40:17,150
year slash new year post?

2822
01:40:17,750 --> 01:40:19,830
Why was it what there's there has to

2823
01:40:19,830 --> 01:40:22,450
be a reason it was that extra because

2824
01:40:22,450 --> 01:40:23,310
that was unnecessary.

2825
01:40:23,730 --> 01:40:26,370
I feel like this is it's coded.

2826
01:40:26,950 --> 01:40:27,850
It's coded.

2827
01:40:29,130 --> 01:40:31,550
I don't know what it means, but it

2828
01:40:31,550 --> 01:40:32,250
means something.

2829
01:40:32,930 --> 01:40:34,230
She's not going anywhere.

2830
01:40:34,510 --> 01:40:36,990
I think that's very clear from this video.

2831
01:40:37,740 --> 01:40:39,250
She ain't going nowhere.

2832
01:40:40,110 --> 01:40:43,090
Also, another reason why I think this video

2833
01:40:43,090 --> 01:40:48,810
is important is that Biden is not featured

2834
01:40:48,810 --> 01:40:50,450
at all.

2835
01:40:51,250 --> 01:40:54,070
Not even one frame.

2836
01:40:54,730 --> 01:40:56,330
I feel like that's strange.

2837
01:40:56,630 --> 01:40:58,430
I feel like that's a little strange.

2838
01:40:58,710 --> 01:40:58,950
He's dead.

2839
01:40:59,230 --> 01:41:01,290
Remember the things that she keeps repeating.

2840
01:41:01,750 --> 01:41:04,210
We are not going to throw up our

2841
01:41:04,210 --> 01:41:04,690
hands.

2842
01:41:04,790 --> 01:41:06,690
We're going to roll up our sleeves.

2843
01:41:06,990 --> 01:41:08,870
Time to get to work.

2844
01:41:09,250 --> 01:41:10,170
Oh, goodness.

2845
01:41:10,690 --> 01:41:13,310
So a lot of people emailed me about

2846
01:41:13,310 --> 01:41:14,290
narcissism.

2847
01:41:14,470 --> 01:41:16,350
These are clear examples of it.

2848
01:41:16,950 --> 01:41:21,470
And Marxism, the how Marxism and narcissism go

2849
01:41:21,470 --> 01:41:21,810
together.

2850
01:41:21,930 --> 01:41:23,690
And it was actually Sir Benrose who I

2851
01:41:23,690 --> 01:41:25,050
thought had a good take.

2852
01:41:26,330 --> 01:41:27,530
Which I will recite.

2853
01:41:28,950 --> 01:41:31,230
So this is, you know, I'm still forming

2854
01:41:31,230 --> 01:41:34,150
this this thesis, but people are in strong

2855
01:41:34,150 --> 01:41:36,130
agreement and everyone has different ways of looking

2856
01:41:36,130 --> 01:41:36,510
at it.

2857
01:41:36,510 --> 01:41:39,890
The Marxist religion teaches people to look outside

2858
01:41:39,890 --> 01:41:42,070
themselves for the source of their problems.

2859
01:41:42,770 --> 01:41:45,450
All strife is rooted in power dynamics.

2860
01:41:45,890 --> 01:41:50,430
Evil corporations, the wealthy, politicians, white people, cisgenders,

2861
01:41:50,590 --> 01:41:52,410
ableists with all of their arms and legs

2862
01:41:52,410 --> 01:41:52,810
working.

2863
01:41:53,210 --> 01:41:55,330
Your problems can always be traced to everyone

2864
01:41:55,330 --> 01:41:55,850
but you.

2865
01:41:56,510 --> 01:41:59,190
In order to avoid cognitive dissonance, this requires

2866
01:41:59,190 --> 01:42:02,590
an exceptional degree of othering to dehumanize other

2867
01:42:02,590 --> 01:42:04,590
people and disregard their feelings and needs.

2868
01:42:04,590 --> 01:42:06,050
This is not easy for people with a

2869
01:42:06,050 --> 01:42:06,370
conscience.

2870
01:42:06,570 --> 01:42:08,550
After all, it's much harder to dump all

2871
01:42:08,550 --> 01:42:10,530
your problems on someone after you look at

2872
01:42:10,530 --> 01:42:11,690
things from their point of view.

2873
01:42:12,110 --> 01:42:15,050
On the other hand, this othering comes naturally

2874
01:42:15,050 --> 01:42:18,430
to narcissists and sociopaths who, being incapable or

2875
01:42:18,430 --> 01:42:20,970
unwilling to consider someone else's thoughts and feelings,

2876
01:42:21,390 --> 01:42:23,270
will other people as a matter of reflex.

2877
01:42:23,950 --> 01:42:26,990
Hence why narcissists and sociopaths are a natural

2878
01:42:26,990 --> 01:42:30,310
fit for Marxism, as it reinforces their psychosis.

2879
01:42:30,310 --> 01:42:33,270
After all, what could be better for a

2880
01:42:33,270 --> 01:42:36,190
narcissist than being reaffirmed by a religion that

2881
01:42:36,190 --> 01:42:39,270
makes everything about you the victim mentality and

2882
01:42:39,270 --> 01:42:41,270
puts all of your problems on the other?

2883
01:42:41,830 --> 01:42:43,470
I think that's pretty close.

2884
01:42:45,660 --> 01:42:47,960
Yeah, it's got some points there.

2885
01:42:48,660 --> 01:42:55,940
I think probably a well-versed socialist can

2886
01:42:55,940 --> 01:42:57,660
break it down even better.

2887
01:42:58,740 --> 01:43:00,780
There's definitely something to it.

2888
01:43:00,780 --> 01:43:01,740
Here's Robert.

2889
01:43:01,820 --> 01:43:03,720
He did five bullet points.

2890
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:04,520
I'm a narcissist.

2891
01:43:04,820 --> 01:43:05,820
I think I'm the best.

2892
01:43:06,500 --> 01:43:08,400
Some people are clearly doing better than me.

2893
01:43:09,020 --> 01:43:10,160
It's not my fault, though.

2894
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:10,880
It's the system.

2895
01:43:11,020 --> 01:43:12,080
The system is capitalist.

2896
01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:13,420
I'm a Marxist now.

2897
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:14,900
I thought that was kind of good.

2898
01:43:15,460 --> 01:43:18,000
That's actually pretty close to it, because there

2899
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:20,640
is a lot of blaming capitalism for your

2900
01:43:20,640 --> 01:43:22,300
own personal problems.

2901
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:26,220
Oh, it's because socialism wouldn't make it, you

2902
01:43:26,220 --> 01:43:28,560
know, again, it gives you free stuff.

2903
01:43:29,420 --> 01:43:30,340
Supposedly, it should.

2904
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:32,440
And that's what you want.

2905
01:43:33,140 --> 01:43:34,560
You deserve it.

2906
01:43:34,820 --> 01:43:36,040
The one that I wanted to ask you

2907
01:43:36,040 --> 01:43:38,480
about, because you are much more a student

2908
01:43:38,480 --> 01:43:40,240
of Marshall McLuhan than I am.

2909
01:43:42,470 --> 01:43:43,990
Yes, I've read all his material.

2910
01:43:44,290 --> 01:43:45,250
I knew one of his relatives.

2911
01:43:46,190 --> 01:43:50,450
Yes, and I went through Cal using some

2912
01:43:50,450 --> 01:43:52,830
McLuhan ideas to get some high grades in

2913
01:43:52,830 --> 01:43:53,490
certain classes.

2914
01:43:53,610 --> 01:43:54,410
Let's try this out.

2915
01:43:54,690 --> 01:43:58,130
In chapter four of Understanding Media, McLuhan explains

2916
01:43:58,130 --> 01:44:01,790
how technology acts as extensions of ourselves, often

2917
01:44:01,790 --> 01:44:04,230
numbing us to its transformative effects.

2918
01:44:04,870 --> 01:44:07,510
Using the myth of Narcissus, he describes how

2919
01:44:07,510 --> 01:44:11,530
we have become captivated by technological reflections, unaware

2920
01:44:11,530 --> 01:44:12,410
of their impact.

2921
01:44:13,110 --> 01:44:16,170
McLuhan introduces auto-amputation, which I think is

2922
01:44:16,170 --> 01:44:19,530
a great word, as a survival mechanism, likening

2923
01:44:19,530 --> 01:44:21,910
technology to idols that shape us in their

2924
01:44:21,910 --> 01:44:22,330
image.

2925
01:44:23,010 --> 01:44:25,830
Social media amplifies this effect, creating a global

2926
01:44:25,830 --> 01:44:28,110
forum where our voices resonate endlessly.

2927
01:44:28,730 --> 01:44:31,830
Technology, like Thor's hammer, grants us divine power,

2928
01:44:32,190 --> 01:44:34,550
yet distracts us from its profound influence on

2929
01:44:34,550 --> 01:44:35,930
society and human behavior.

2930
01:44:36,570 --> 01:44:39,310
With the arrival of electric technology, McLuhan wrote,

2931
01:44:39,530 --> 01:44:42,650
man extended or set outside himself a live

2932
01:44:42,650 --> 01:44:45,050
model of the central nervous system itself.

2933
01:44:45,410 --> 01:44:47,550
To the degree that this is so, it

2934
01:44:47,550 --> 01:44:50,230
is a development that suggests a desperate and

2935
01:44:50,230 --> 01:44:53,350
suicidal auto- amputation, as if the central

2936
01:44:53,350 --> 01:44:55,890
nervous system could no longer depend on the

2937
01:44:55,890 --> 01:44:58,510
physical organs to be protective buffers against the

2938
01:44:58,510 --> 01:45:00,990
slings and arrows of an outrageous mechanism.

2939
01:45:02,430 --> 01:45:03,490
That's heady stuff.

2940
01:45:04,130 --> 01:45:05,230
A couple of things to note.

2941
01:45:07,030 --> 01:45:08,970
My version of that, of course, is the

2942
01:45:08,970 --> 01:45:10,070
phone in the drawer.

2943
01:45:12,310 --> 01:45:14,650
Yes, that's why you're so sane and not

2944
01:45:14,650 --> 01:45:15,290
a Marxist.

2945
01:45:15,510 --> 01:45:16,910
Certified not a Marxist.

2946
01:45:18,050 --> 01:45:22,570
Is that all of McLuhan's theses were all

2947
01:45:22,570 --> 01:45:23,810
done before the internet.

2948
01:45:23,890 --> 01:45:25,570
He was, I think, died before the internet.

2949
01:45:25,650 --> 01:45:26,030
Oh, yeah.

2950
01:45:26,030 --> 01:45:28,170
It's all pre-internet ideas.

2951
01:45:28,450 --> 01:45:31,050
And actually, in some regards, it's pre-personal

2952
01:45:31,050 --> 01:45:31,610
computers.

2953
01:45:33,270 --> 01:45:36,530
So he was very, so if you start

2954
01:45:36,530 --> 01:45:39,330
reading him now and think about the internet

2955
01:45:39,330 --> 01:45:44,430
and personal computers and the phone, of course,

2956
01:45:45,010 --> 01:45:49,650
the little 2000, the smartphone, smartphone, internet, personal

2957
01:45:49,650 --> 01:45:52,530
computers, put those aside and then read him

2958
01:45:52,530 --> 01:45:54,430
and think about those three items and you

2959
01:45:54,430 --> 01:45:57,510
go, holy, this is nailing it.

2960
01:45:57,730 --> 01:45:58,830
In other words, good job.

2961
01:45:59,170 --> 01:46:01,690
Auto amputation is a kind of survival mechanism

2962
01:46:01,690 --> 01:46:03,510
by which the body tries to cope with

2963
01:46:03,510 --> 01:46:07,710
a technical technological change currently transforming the environment.

2964
01:46:08,110 --> 01:46:10,810
But the form this attempt at survival takes

2965
01:46:10,810 --> 01:46:12,390
is the construction of idols.

2966
01:46:12,590 --> 01:46:13,550
There's many of them.

2967
01:46:14,510 --> 01:46:16,950
In fact, any use of technology is likened

2968
01:46:16,950 --> 01:46:18,810
by McLuhan to the beholding of idols.

2969
01:46:20,210 --> 01:46:21,930
I think that's so true.

2970
01:46:22,450 --> 01:46:24,590
Yeah, I see people worshiping the phone all

2971
01:46:24,590 --> 01:46:24,770
day.

2972
01:46:24,930 --> 01:46:26,230
Yeah, that goes back to my rosary.

2973
01:46:26,990 --> 01:46:28,750
The phone has rosary beads.

2974
01:46:29,930 --> 01:46:31,090
This is not good.

2975
01:46:32,750 --> 01:46:36,090
I think we've determined that some years back.

2976
01:46:36,130 --> 01:46:37,570
But there's also no way, I don't see

2977
01:46:37,570 --> 01:46:39,210
any way out of it other than self

2978
01:46:39,210 --> 01:46:39,830
-awareness.

2979
01:46:40,050 --> 01:46:41,490
And some people have to get voted off

2980
01:46:41,490 --> 01:46:41,750
the island.

2981
01:46:42,170 --> 01:46:42,550
Put the phone in the drawer.

2982
01:46:42,710 --> 01:46:43,570
That's one way out.

2983
01:46:43,630 --> 01:46:44,030
It helps.

2984
01:46:44,390 --> 01:46:46,570
Well, I have to say my Cat S22

2985
01:46:46,570 --> 01:46:48,390
has done very well for me.

2986
01:46:48,890 --> 01:46:50,650
It is so unattractive to use.

2987
01:46:50,650 --> 01:46:52,050
It is such a pain in the butt.

2988
01:46:52,890 --> 01:46:54,550
And I only use it for texting because

2989
01:46:54,550 --> 01:46:55,910
everything else just sucks.

2990
01:46:56,390 --> 01:46:57,050
It's slow.

2991
01:46:57,770 --> 01:46:59,290
You can't even make a phone call on

2992
01:46:59,290 --> 01:46:59,410
it?

2993
01:47:00,250 --> 01:47:03,230
You know, I think I've received maybe two

2994
01:47:03,230 --> 01:47:04,550
calls on this since I've had it.

2995
01:47:04,570 --> 01:47:06,630
Nobody calls anybody anymore.

2996
01:47:06,770 --> 01:47:07,250
You know why?

2997
01:47:07,290 --> 01:47:09,030
Because you're constantly busy.

2998
01:47:09,630 --> 01:47:11,330
You get a busy tone when they call

2999
01:47:11,330 --> 01:47:11,570
you.

3000
01:47:12,090 --> 01:47:12,730
There's people calling you.

3001
01:47:12,730 --> 01:47:13,230
Well, me, it's different.

3002
01:47:13,290 --> 01:47:13,810
I'm different.

3003
01:47:14,490 --> 01:47:15,930
I'm sure they don't call each other.

3004
01:47:16,030 --> 01:47:17,410
I'd like to thank you for your courage.

3005
01:47:17,510 --> 01:47:18,610
Say in the morning to you the man

3006
01:47:18,610 --> 01:47:19,370
who put the sea in.

3007
01:47:19,430 --> 01:47:20,030
Call waiting.

3008
01:47:20,030 --> 01:47:21,470
Say hello to my friend on the other

3009
01:47:21,470 --> 01:47:21,670
end.

3010
01:47:21,810 --> 01:47:24,170
The one, the only Mr. John C.

3011
01:47:24,790 --> 01:47:25,150
Devorah.

3012
01:47:26,870 --> 01:47:27,950
Well, in the morning, you're going to say,

3013
01:47:27,970 --> 01:47:28,350
I'm Korean.

3014
01:47:28,370 --> 01:47:29,430
I'm going to ship the sea boots on

3015
01:47:29,430 --> 01:47:29,690
the ground.

3016
01:47:29,830 --> 01:47:30,890
Feet in the air, subs in the water.

3017
01:47:30,970 --> 01:47:31,750
Demons and knights out there.

3018
01:47:31,770 --> 01:47:33,170
In the morning to the trolls in the

3019
01:47:33,170 --> 01:47:33,690
troll room.

3020
01:47:33,810 --> 01:47:34,530
Hold on a second.

3021
01:47:34,790 --> 01:47:40,330
You want to take a guess?

3022
01:47:41,550 --> 01:47:43,650
Today is Thursday.

3023
01:47:44,270 --> 01:47:46,550
So it should be normally 18.

3024
01:47:46,610 --> 01:47:47,710
I'd say 1950.

3025
01:47:48,730 --> 01:47:49,090
2183.

3026
01:47:50,130 --> 01:47:51,290
Yeah, the fires.

3027
01:47:51,530 --> 01:47:51,990
The fires.

3028
01:47:52,170 --> 01:47:52,670
Yeah, that's right.

3029
01:47:52,730 --> 01:47:53,890
Let me see what the boys have to

3030
01:47:53,890 --> 01:47:54,770
say about the fires.

3031
01:47:55,530 --> 01:47:56,870
I'm sure they have a take on it.

3032
01:47:57,230 --> 01:47:59,290
Did you notice that the blue trash can

3033
01:47:59,290 --> 01:48:00,010
did not burn?

3034
01:48:00,130 --> 01:48:00,810
I'm just saying.

3035
01:48:02,150 --> 01:48:03,250
I'm just saying.

3036
01:48:03,610 --> 01:48:04,670
Yeah, that's how it goes.

3037
01:48:05,490 --> 01:48:06,990
Yeah, we're joking about it, but of course,

3038
01:48:07,050 --> 01:48:07,710
it's very sad.

3039
01:48:08,410 --> 01:48:09,110
Oh, it's terrible.

3040
01:48:09,790 --> 01:48:13,410
Fire is, I just can't imagine having, I

3041
01:48:13,410 --> 01:48:15,090
mean, just you lose all your stuff.

3042
01:48:16,150 --> 01:48:17,890
I mean, think about a James Woods.

3043
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:19,070
What do you think he has in his

3044
01:48:19,070 --> 01:48:19,390
house?

3045
01:48:20,110 --> 01:48:23,170
Oh, he had memorabilia that's priceless.

3046
01:48:23,450 --> 01:48:24,090
Billy Crystal.

3047
01:48:24,310 --> 01:48:26,090
He was in that house since 1979.

3048
01:48:26,970 --> 01:48:27,110
Yeah.

3049
01:48:27,170 --> 01:48:28,690
Can you imagine the stuff he lost?

3050
01:48:29,030 --> 01:48:31,370
Oh, man, that is really, it makes you

3051
01:48:31,370 --> 01:48:33,010
want to get a big fireproof safe.

3052
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:35,430
And just, well, that's not going to help

3053
01:48:35,430 --> 01:48:36,130
in a firestorm.

3054
01:48:36,470 --> 01:48:38,050
I had Michael Rogers.

3055
01:48:38,270 --> 01:48:40,450
It was a novelist that lived.

3056
01:48:40,570 --> 01:48:42,070
I know he used to be in the

3057
01:48:42,070 --> 01:48:42,430
Bay Area.

3058
01:48:42,510 --> 01:48:43,570
Used to live in the Oakland Hills when

3059
01:48:43,570 --> 01:48:44,830
they had the Oakland Hills fire.

3060
01:48:45,350 --> 01:48:47,350
And he had a fireproof safe.

3061
01:48:47,350 --> 01:48:51,070
But since it was a firestorm, the temperatures

3062
01:48:51,070 --> 01:48:54,930
increased beyond the capabilities of the fireproof safe.

3063
01:48:54,930 --> 01:48:57,490
He had his manuscripts in the fireproof safe.

3064
01:48:57,930 --> 01:48:58,870
No, no.

3065
01:48:59,170 --> 01:48:59,330
Ashes.

3066
01:48:59,670 --> 01:49:00,570
Oh, no.

3067
01:49:01,590 --> 01:49:04,390
You have to digitize everything and put it.

3068
01:49:04,550 --> 01:49:06,690
I hate to tell you this because it's

3069
01:49:06,690 --> 01:49:07,110
pathetic.

3070
01:49:07,590 --> 01:49:08,950
You have to get this stuff in the

3071
01:49:08,950 --> 01:49:13,090
cloud or backed up someplace outside your own

3072
01:49:13,090 --> 01:49:13,690
environment.

3073
01:49:13,910 --> 01:49:14,910
Yeah, yeah.

3074
01:49:15,470 --> 01:49:17,990
Yeah, that is pretty pathetic to suggest the

3075
01:49:17,990 --> 01:49:18,350
cloud.

3076
01:49:19,570 --> 01:49:19,990
I know.

3077
01:49:20,250 --> 01:49:21,810
It's totally the cloud.

3078
01:49:21,950 --> 01:49:25,530
But yeah, you get a free terabyte for

3079
01:49:25,530 --> 01:49:26,110
Microsoft.

3080
01:49:26,450 --> 01:49:26,750
Yeah.

3081
01:49:26,910 --> 01:49:27,350
Oh, yeah.

3082
01:49:28,110 --> 01:49:31,810
And actually, since Microsoft, I hate to plug

3083
01:49:31,810 --> 01:49:35,130
this product, but Microsoft Office that is, I

3084
01:49:35,130 --> 01:49:39,290
think, $99 a year gives you five accounts.

3085
01:49:39,670 --> 01:49:41,190
You get five people get to use it.

3086
01:49:41,270 --> 01:49:41,370
Yeah.

3087
01:49:41,530 --> 01:49:43,050
And each one has a terabyte.

3088
01:49:43,150 --> 01:49:44,550
That's five terabytes total.

3089
01:49:44,910 --> 01:49:47,390
You could give them the word and you

3090
01:49:47,390 --> 01:49:48,490
keep their terabytes.

3091
01:49:48,850 --> 01:49:48,950
Yeah.

3092
01:49:49,090 --> 01:49:50,330
And this is a good backup.

3093
01:49:50,610 --> 01:49:50,730
Yeah.

3094
01:49:51,730 --> 01:49:53,330
Or how about just— Five terabytes is a

3095
01:49:53,330 --> 01:49:53,470
lot.

3096
01:49:53,630 --> 01:49:55,590
How about just making backups on disks and

3097
01:49:55,590 --> 01:49:56,890
then sending them to your friends?

3098
01:49:57,130 --> 01:49:57,970
You could do that, too.

3099
01:49:58,030 --> 01:49:58,550
That works.

3100
01:49:58,710 --> 01:50:00,650
Like I send you from time to time

3101
01:50:00,650 --> 01:50:03,610
a backup of our no agenda one terabyte

3102
01:50:03,610 --> 01:50:05,310
drive, which has everything on it.

3103
01:50:05,870 --> 01:50:06,090
Yep.

3104
01:50:06,410 --> 01:50:07,210
And that's a great idea.

3105
01:50:07,330 --> 01:50:10,030
And it's not in the cloud, I will

3106
01:50:10,030 --> 01:50:10,270
say.

3107
01:50:10,390 --> 01:50:11,190
It's not in the cloud.

3108
01:50:11,710 --> 01:50:12,610
I just send it to you.

3109
01:50:13,130 --> 01:50:16,090
Well, it's probably safe with the two locations.

3110
01:50:16,310 --> 01:50:19,910
And I always travel with two drives in

3111
01:50:19,910 --> 01:50:21,750
two different bags.

3112
01:50:23,130 --> 01:50:24,690
Because, I mean, as long as I have

3113
01:50:24,690 --> 01:50:26,670
that hard drive, I can make a show.

3114
01:50:27,210 --> 01:50:28,930
If I don't have the hard drive, it's

3115
01:50:28,930 --> 01:50:29,770
going to be pretty bad.

3116
01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:33,980
You know, I could make a show with

3117
01:50:33,980 --> 01:50:38,100
a palm pilot.

3118
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:39,580
As long as I have that drive, I

3119
01:50:39,580 --> 01:50:40,020
can do it.

3120
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:44,500
The trolls, who we just counted, of which

3121
01:50:44,500 --> 01:50:46,740
there are many today, welcome trolls, they're listening

3122
01:50:46,740 --> 01:50:48,960
in through trollroom.io. That's where they can

3123
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:50,720
also jump into the troll room itself and

3124
01:50:50,720 --> 01:50:51,180
troll along.

3125
01:50:51,240 --> 01:50:53,700
They've been actually quite calm today.

3126
01:50:53,780 --> 01:50:56,740
Although someone did ask, how come I didn't

3127
01:50:56,740 --> 01:50:59,020
say the Jews set the fire in California?

3128
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:00,280
That was always interesting.

3129
01:51:02,260 --> 01:51:06,240
Mostly, especially, you know, Pacific Palisades was actually

3130
01:51:06,240 --> 01:51:08,580
a Jewish refugee community.

3131
01:51:08,580 --> 01:51:09,020
Yeah, there it is.

3132
01:51:09,140 --> 01:51:09,780
There it is.

3133
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:11,240
And they wouldn't have set the fire?

3134
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:13,320
They wouldn't have done anything but set.

3135
01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:15,420
Yeah, I'm surprised that the fire even burned

3136
01:51:15,420 --> 01:51:16,680
their places, if you're going to go with

3137
01:51:16,680 --> 01:51:17,020
that.

3138
01:51:18,560 --> 01:51:20,880
Yeah, of course, they may also be listening

3139
01:51:20,880 --> 01:51:22,820
on a modern podcast app, which you can

3140
01:51:22,820 --> 01:51:25,540
get at podcastapps.com, plural.

3141
01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:27,360
There's many to choose from.

3142
01:51:27,420 --> 01:51:29,420
And they have lots of handy whiz-bang

3143
01:51:29,420 --> 01:51:34,260
features, including chapters with images that rotate, that's

3144
01:51:34,260 --> 01:51:35,080
cool to watch.

3145
01:51:35,220 --> 01:51:36,860
Dreb Scott puts that together for us.

3146
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:38,720
We've got transcripts.

3147
01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:40,800
And I'd say the best feature is you

3148
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:42,240
get notified when we go live.

3149
01:51:42,320 --> 01:51:44,660
You can listen to the live stream on

3150
01:51:44,660 --> 01:51:45,540
your podcast app.

3151
01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:46,280
Take that, Apple.

3152
01:51:46,380 --> 01:51:47,040
I haven't seen that.

3153
01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:48,580
Or Spotify, haven't seen that from you.

3154
01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:50,500
And when we release the show, if you

3155
01:51:50,500 --> 01:51:51,960
weren't able to listen live, you get notified

3156
01:51:51,960 --> 01:51:52,840
within 90 seconds.

3157
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:53,620
It's a good deal.

3158
01:51:53,780 --> 01:51:55,360
And most of these are free.

3159
01:51:55,500 --> 01:51:58,140
Please support your software app developers with a

3160
01:51:58,140 --> 01:51:58,740
little donation.

3161
01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:01,380
And Void Zero just texted me and said,

3162
01:52:01,780 --> 01:52:03,540
if you guys are serious about this, let

3163
01:52:03,540 --> 01:52:04,820
me run a backup for you.

3164
01:52:05,620 --> 01:52:06,840
That's probably a good idea.

3165
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:10,240
Void Zero has good practices.

3166
01:52:11,420 --> 01:52:11,640
Yes.

3167
01:52:11,880 --> 01:52:12,560
Yes, he does.

3168
01:52:12,680 --> 01:52:13,640
I think that would be the right guy

3169
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:14,000
to do.

3170
01:52:14,480 --> 01:52:17,120
Don't ask him to upgrade stuff on show

3171
01:52:17,120 --> 01:52:17,380
day.

3172
01:52:18,080 --> 01:52:19,600
He sent me a nice card.

3173
01:52:19,720 --> 01:52:20,580
I want to thank him for that.

3174
01:52:20,580 --> 01:52:20,960
Yeah, yeah.

3175
01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:21,820
With a pen.

3176
01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:23,460
Did you get the pen?

3177
01:52:23,660 --> 01:52:24,400
A Void Zero pen.

3178
01:52:24,500 --> 01:52:25,300
A Void Zero pen.

3179
01:52:25,380 --> 01:52:26,280
Yes, it was very cool.

3180
01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:29,680
I also, from- Can't have enough pens,

3181
01:52:29,720 --> 01:52:30,180
the way I see it.

3182
01:52:30,180 --> 01:52:31,140
Pens are always good.

3183
01:52:31,340 --> 01:52:33,840
Zach Metzinger sent me not one, but two

3184
01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:35,500
luggage scales.

3185
01:52:35,620 --> 01:52:36,640
Thank you very much, Zach.

3186
01:52:36,640 --> 01:52:37,540
Appreciate that.

3187
01:52:37,640 --> 01:52:39,000
One for Tina, one for me.

3188
01:52:40,160 --> 01:52:43,060
And- Maybe one should have gone to

3189
01:52:43,060 --> 01:52:43,400
me.

3190
01:52:44,240 --> 01:52:45,240
Well, I'll send it to you.

3191
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:46,420
No, it's okay.

3192
01:52:48,940 --> 01:52:50,920
When would you need a luggage scale?

3193
01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:52,760
Please, when's the last time you got on

3194
01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:53,160
an airplane?

3195
01:52:53,220 --> 01:52:54,700
I'm trying to avoid it.

3196
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:56,780
I'm doing a pretty damn good job.

3197
01:52:56,880 --> 01:52:58,100
It's like the phone in the drawer.

3198
01:52:58,320 --> 01:52:59,620
When is the last time you got on

3199
01:52:59,620 --> 01:53:00,040
an airplane?

3200
01:53:00,220 --> 01:53:01,240
It's been years.

3201
01:53:01,740 --> 01:53:02,740
Yeah, because of COVID.

3202
01:53:04,140 --> 01:53:06,160
So, oh, wait, you're afraid to travel?

3203
01:53:06,160 --> 01:53:08,140
Don't you have a mask if you want

3204
01:53:08,140 --> 01:53:08,540
to travel?

3205
01:53:09,440 --> 01:53:10,420
Maybe because of COVID.

3206
01:53:11,420 --> 01:53:12,280
It's because of COVID.

3207
01:53:13,300 --> 01:53:14,360
I don't understand.

3208
01:53:15,100 --> 01:53:17,380
No, ever since COVID, it got me out

3209
01:53:17,380 --> 01:53:18,940
of the habit of traveling so much.

3210
01:53:19,440 --> 01:53:22,220
And I realized that I enjoy not traveling.

3211
01:53:23,900 --> 01:53:24,680
It's enjoyable.

3212
01:53:24,680 --> 01:53:25,520
I don't know about you, but- See,

3213
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:27,400
I'm- Believe me.

3214
01:53:28,260 --> 01:53:30,220
Tina's like, let's go somewhere.

3215
01:53:31,780 --> 01:53:32,300
Really?

3216
01:53:33,820 --> 01:53:35,540
Well, at least she's not demanding you go

3217
01:53:35,540 --> 01:53:36,640
horseback riding.

3218
01:53:37,500 --> 01:53:37,860
No.

3219
01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:40,880
I don't know where you came up with

3220
01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:41,820
that one, but no.

3221
01:53:41,960 --> 01:53:42,600
Luckily, no.

3222
01:53:42,700 --> 01:53:44,780
There's no horseback riding or skiing.

3223
01:53:45,020 --> 01:53:46,120
I don't do that anymore, either.

3224
01:53:49,160 --> 01:53:50,560
The trolls, yeah, I did the troll.

3225
01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:51,400
Oh, yes, of course.

3226
01:53:51,480 --> 01:53:52,140
Value for value.

3227
01:53:52,340 --> 01:53:52,560
What's that?

3228
01:53:52,580 --> 01:53:54,560
That is an excellent example of value for

3229
01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:54,840
value.

3230
01:53:54,920 --> 01:53:55,920
I appreciate that, Zach.

3231
01:53:56,160 --> 01:53:58,880
You made me feel valuable that you sent

3232
01:53:58,880 --> 01:53:59,480
that to me.

3233
01:53:59,500 --> 01:54:00,580
And I'm sure you did it because you

3234
01:54:00,580 --> 01:54:02,000
value what we do here on the show.

3235
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:05,360
And you can do many different things for

3236
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:05,700
the show.

3237
01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:06,980
Help out in many ways.

3238
01:54:07,140 --> 01:54:09,860
We always appreciate the artists who go to

3239
01:54:09,860 --> 01:54:13,580
noagendaartgenerator.com during the show, during the live

3240
01:54:13,580 --> 01:54:13,960
stream.

3241
01:54:14,260 --> 01:54:17,400
Sometimes a little late, and it just doesn't

3242
01:54:17,400 --> 01:54:18,000
quite make it.

3243
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:20,280
But again, these pieces of art get used

3244
01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:24,900
in many different scenarios, including the chapters, the

3245
01:54:24,900 --> 01:54:26,900
newsletter, bat signals.

3246
01:54:27,140 --> 01:54:28,680
It's beautiful to have.

3247
01:54:28,740 --> 01:54:30,220
And it's always something people go, hey, wait

3248
01:54:30,220 --> 01:54:30,460
a minute.

3249
01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:33,440
It was like we had for the bat

3250
01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:34,240
signal this morning.

3251
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:36,140
It was done by Comicstripblogger.

3252
01:54:36,340 --> 01:54:40,520
He had a noagenda square image of the

3253
01:54:40,520 --> 01:54:41,660
Hollywood sign burning.

3254
01:54:42,700 --> 01:54:43,700
That's topical.

3255
01:54:44,620 --> 01:54:46,520
And that makes people want to listen.

3256
01:54:46,660 --> 01:54:47,220
So it's good.

3257
01:54:47,720 --> 01:54:48,280
It's handy.

3258
01:54:49,180 --> 01:54:50,840
And we always like to thank our artists.

3259
01:54:51,060 --> 01:54:56,120
For 1727, the artwork was Francisco Scaramanga.

3260
01:54:57,760 --> 01:55:00,620
And we didn't have much discussion about this.

3261
01:55:00,620 --> 01:55:05,180
He had the cheesecake, cheesecakey, semi-cheesecake.

3262
01:55:05,720 --> 01:55:07,220
It's actually meta-cheesecake.

3263
01:55:07,440 --> 01:55:10,520
Yes, multi-city pom-pom tour, multi-coordinated

3264
01:55:10,520 --> 01:55:11,700
by Curry and Dvorak.

3265
01:55:11,760 --> 01:55:15,940
That, of course, was in regard to our

3266
01:55:15,940 --> 01:55:17,480
conversation about Sarah Adams.

3267
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:19,040
And you said she could not even be

3268
01:55:19,040 --> 01:55:20,020
a pom-pom girl.

3269
01:55:22,760 --> 01:55:24,540
And he took it to heart.

3270
01:55:25,220 --> 01:55:28,100
And of course, it created an opportunity for

3271
01:55:28,100 --> 01:55:29,280
the noagenda shop.

3272
01:55:29,480 --> 01:55:30,240
Yes, it did.

3273
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:31,720
Yes, it did.

3274
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:33,200
That would be a great t-shirt.

3275
01:55:33,420 --> 01:55:34,500
That's a great t-shirt for the noagenda

3276
01:55:34,500 --> 01:55:36,140
shop, noagendashop.com.

3277
01:55:36,860 --> 01:55:38,740
So let's take a look and see, because

3278
01:55:38,740 --> 01:55:41,140
there was definitely a lot of AI.

3279
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:42,760
Well, I like the solid one that was

3280
01:55:42,760 --> 01:55:44,480
below it, but you hated it.

3281
01:55:44,580 --> 01:55:46,620
And I don't think you could actually see

3282
01:55:46,620 --> 01:55:46,720
it.

3283
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:48,320
No, it wasn't that I hated it.

3284
01:55:48,440 --> 01:55:49,760
I could not see it.

3285
01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:50,540
I just couldn't.

3286
01:55:50,540 --> 01:55:52,020
Yeah, we have to remember that Adam has

3287
01:55:52,020 --> 01:55:52,800
color blindness.

3288
01:55:53,300 --> 01:55:54,600
And if I can't see it, what good

3289
01:55:54,600 --> 01:55:54,980
is it?

3290
01:55:55,140 --> 01:55:57,340
If we're not entertaining ourselves, why bother?

3291
01:55:57,920 --> 01:56:00,940
Uh, well, you have accepted certain sometimes I've

3292
01:56:00,940 --> 01:56:02,420
overridden your color blindness.

3293
01:56:02,620 --> 01:56:04,100
Yes, but you didn't press it.

3294
01:56:04,180 --> 01:56:05,280
You didn't press it on this one.

3295
01:56:05,360 --> 01:56:06,880
That was no, because of the pom-pom

3296
01:56:06,880 --> 01:56:07,360
tour one.

3297
01:56:07,540 --> 01:56:08,960
I mean, I'm going with that one, too.

3298
01:56:09,060 --> 01:56:09,840
It's a beauty.

3299
01:56:10,160 --> 01:56:11,880
And I didn't, I didn't push back at

3300
01:56:11,880 --> 01:56:12,140
all.

3301
01:56:13,380 --> 01:56:14,420
Um, let me see.

3302
01:56:14,500 --> 01:56:14,860
What else?

3303
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:17,900
There was, uh, Darren did a Superman getting

3304
01:56:17,900 --> 01:56:18,460
a vax.

3305
01:56:18,520 --> 01:56:19,080
I'm not quite sure.

3306
01:56:19,160 --> 01:56:25,160
So Peter Knopfhart did, uh, quaddemic, a bunch

3307
01:56:25,160 --> 01:56:27,800
of, uh, we should mention that the newer

3308
01:56:27,800 --> 01:56:30,540
artists that have come on board, the spike

3309
01:56:30,540 --> 01:56:34,140
protein art is nonverbal, nonstarter.

3310
01:56:34,460 --> 01:56:35,280
Oh, man.

3311
01:56:35,420 --> 01:56:38,800
For the quaddemic, they are now showing four

3312
01:56:38,800 --> 01:56:42,200
pictures of spike protein balls, all different colors.

3313
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:46,880
So somehow norovirus is now also a ball

3314
01:56:46,880 --> 01:56:47,540
with spikes.

3315
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:49,380
Yeah, it seems unlikely.

3316
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:50,680
I would say so.

3317
01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:55,300
Um, what else was there that we do?

3318
01:56:55,300 --> 01:56:56,600
Is there anything else we discussed?

3319
01:56:58,200 --> 01:57:03,740
Um, yeah, I think you're right.

3320
01:57:04,100 --> 01:57:05,940
Uh, some government cheese stuff.

3321
01:57:06,040 --> 01:57:07,260
No, that wasn't the previous one.

3322
01:57:08,060 --> 01:57:09,900
So, uh, congratulations, Scaramanga.

3323
01:57:10,020 --> 01:57:10,640
Thank you.

3324
01:57:11,200 --> 01:57:12,900
Scaramanga always, he gets all jitty when he

3325
01:57:12,900 --> 01:57:13,480
gets chosen.

3326
01:57:14,040 --> 01:57:15,980
Yeah, I'm, I'm surprised because I know he

3327
01:57:15,980 --> 01:57:17,440
really, he hates the show.

3328
01:57:17,540 --> 01:57:18,940
I think he hates the show and he

3329
01:57:18,940 --> 01:57:19,800
hates the two of us.

3330
01:57:19,860 --> 01:57:20,240
I don't know.

3331
01:57:20,300 --> 01:57:21,100
You in particular.

3332
01:57:21,460 --> 01:57:22,960
No, I think you and me in particular,

3333
01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:23,700
you're in particular.

3334
01:57:23,700 --> 01:57:25,720
And then the minute we choose him for

3335
01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:27,460
art and then he's posting all over X,

3336
01:57:27,500 --> 01:57:28,940
like this is the best podcast in the

3337
01:57:28,940 --> 01:57:29,300
universe.

3338
01:57:29,520 --> 01:57:30,720
You should listen to this.

3339
01:57:30,780 --> 01:57:32,780
There's no reason you should listen to anything

3340
01:57:32,780 --> 01:57:33,140
else.

3341
01:57:33,820 --> 01:57:35,580
So it's, it's kind of, it has a

3342
01:57:35,580 --> 01:57:37,960
double, uh, a double function choosing him.

3343
01:57:38,200 --> 01:57:41,900
We get fun, good art and promotion, promotion,

3344
01:57:42,060 --> 01:57:42,440
promotion.

3345
01:57:43,320 --> 01:57:45,400
So that's the talent of the three T's

3346
01:57:45,400 --> 01:57:46,640
time, talent, and treasure.

3347
01:57:46,800 --> 01:57:48,700
We always want to thank our executive and

3348
01:57:48,700 --> 01:57:50,440
associate executive producers.

3349
01:57:50,440 --> 01:57:53,200
And this portion of the show, we thank

3350
01:57:53,200 --> 01:57:56,100
everybody who sends in a $50 or more,

3351
01:57:56,120 --> 01:57:58,300
and we'll give you the name and your

3352
01:57:58,300 --> 01:57:59,640
location and the amount.

3353
01:57:59,900 --> 01:58:02,420
And for the associate executive producers, that's $200

3354
01:58:02,420 --> 01:58:03,060
and above.

3355
01:58:03,180 --> 01:58:04,620
We will give you that title, which is

3356
01:58:04,620 --> 01:58:05,400
forever title.

3357
01:58:05,660 --> 01:58:07,600
You can use it anywhere titles are recognized

3358
01:58:07,600 --> 01:58:09,960
and accepted, particularly of the show business variety.

3359
01:58:10,580 --> 01:58:12,500
And that will be imdb.com would be

3360
01:58:12,500 --> 01:58:13,720
one of the main places for that.

3361
01:58:13,760 --> 01:58:15,140
You can use it on your LinkedIn, any

3362
01:58:15,140 --> 01:58:16,560
other social media profile.

3363
01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:18,980
And we read your note and then $300

3364
01:58:18,980 --> 01:58:19,640
or above.

3365
01:58:19,640 --> 01:58:20,740
You're an executive producer.

3366
01:58:20,900 --> 01:58:23,440
Same rules apply for that title forever credit.

3367
01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:24,920
And we read your note and we kick

3368
01:58:24,920 --> 01:58:29,340
it off with M plain old M from

3369
01:58:29,340 --> 01:58:32,360
North Tonawanda, New York with $400.

3370
01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:34,740
It's not, that's not a very common amount.

3371
01:58:35,820 --> 01:58:36,940
No, it's odd.

3372
01:58:37,200 --> 01:58:39,880
And it says me guys, keep up the

3373
01:58:39,880 --> 01:58:40,340
good work.

3374
01:58:41,020 --> 01:58:42,260
That is a good note.

3375
01:58:42,380 --> 01:58:43,680
And thank you very much.

3376
01:58:43,900 --> 01:58:45,900
Actually, the note is in the, in the

3377
01:58:45,900 --> 01:58:46,900
PDF.

3378
01:58:47,160 --> 01:58:49,080
It's actually high guys.

3379
01:58:49,080 --> 01:58:50,540
Oh, it says me guys here.

3380
01:58:50,740 --> 01:58:52,420
I know I'm looking at it.

3381
01:58:52,460 --> 01:58:53,420
It looks like an M.

3382
01:58:53,700 --> 01:58:54,300
Oh, okay.

3383
01:58:54,400 --> 01:58:55,000
I didn't read it.

3384
01:58:55,000 --> 01:58:56,320
I can also see what he says.

3385
01:58:56,420 --> 01:58:57,220
Hi guys.

3386
01:58:57,380 --> 01:58:57,800
Let me see.

3387
01:58:57,880 --> 01:58:58,280
Where's this?

3388
01:58:58,520 --> 01:58:59,320
Keep up the good work.

3389
01:58:59,380 --> 01:59:00,460
So we're at the very bottom.

3390
01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:04,900
Oh, from the St. Jude children's research hospital.

3391
01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:05,060
Yeah.

3392
01:59:05,060 --> 01:59:06,900
He's using the free stationery.

3393
01:59:07,140 --> 01:59:08,600
St. Jude sends everyone.

3394
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:09,260
Yeah.

3395
01:59:09,520 --> 01:59:10,000
Oh, good.

3396
01:59:10,180 --> 01:59:10,660
It's right.

3397
01:59:10,760 --> 01:59:11,500
It says, hi guys.

3398
01:59:11,600 --> 01:59:12,340
Keep up the good work.

3399
01:59:12,580 --> 01:59:12,760
M.

3400
01:59:12,900 --> 01:59:13,480
Thank you very much.

3401
01:59:13,540 --> 01:59:13,720
M.

3402
01:59:13,840 --> 01:59:14,580
Appreciate that.

3403
01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:18,780
And go back to the spreadsheet here.

3404
01:59:18,780 --> 01:59:20,120
You got next is sir.

3405
01:59:20,140 --> 01:59:21,720
Tyler in Anchorage, Alaska.

3406
01:59:22,660 --> 01:59:23,960
Another note from sir.

3407
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:26,880
Tyler in Alaska from Tyler at Tyler systems.

3408
01:59:27,820 --> 01:59:31,060
The Tyler at Tyler systems.com.

3409
01:59:31,240 --> 01:59:31,700
Thanks.

3410
01:59:32,140 --> 01:59:33,880
Did not receive note.

3411
01:59:33,900 --> 01:59:35,200
It says on here, he came in with

3412
01:59:35,200 --> 01:59:35,720
370.

3413
01:59:36,520 --> 01:59:39,060
It's $343 and 75 cents.

3414
01:59:39,120 --> 01:59:40,800
And I don't have a Tyler note.

3415
01:59:41,240 --> 01:59:42,180
I don't have one either.

3416
01:59:42,700 --> 01:59:44,420
So this is not the first time his

3417
01:59:44,420 --> 01:59:45,120
note has gone.

3418
01:59:45,360 --> 01:59:48,180
A no, but Tyler at Tyler systems.com.

3419
01:59:48,180 --> 01:59:49,920
Value for value AI stuff.

3420
01:59:50,040 --> 01:59:50,300
Is it not?

3421
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:51,380
He's the AI guy.

3422
01:59:52,340 --> 01:59:53,520
Get ahold of them.

3423
01:59:53,620 --> 01:59:53,740
Yeah.

3424
01:59:53,820 --> 01:59:55,020
Tyler systems.com.

3425
01:59:55,040 --> 01:59:55,880
We'll read his note the next time.

01:59:56,680 --> 01:59:57,200

343 75.

3430
02:00:01,660 --> 02:00:05,160
Hashtag stealth donation via Liptonite.

3431
02:00:05,600 --> 02:00:07,060
What is Liptonite?

3432
02:00:07,960 --> 02:00:09,220
I have no idea.

3433
02:00:09,560 --> 02:00:11,140
Maybe Liptonite did the donation.

3434
02:00:12,200 --> 02:00:13,300

3436
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:15,280
Okay.

02:00:15,560 --> 02:00:16,060
Done.

3438
02:00:16,280 --> 02:00:17,080
Thank you very much.

3439
02:00:18,180 --> 02:00:18,480
Yeah.

3440
02:00:18,520 --> 02:00:19,460
You're going to read the next one too,

3441
02:00:19,520 --> 02:00:20,700
because it blows on my spreadsheet.

3442
02:00:21,320 --> 02:00:22,360
Quirino Martin.

3443
02:00:24,420 --> 02:00:27,340
In Erika, the Netherlands.

3444
02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:29,580
I do not familiar with this place, but

3445
02:00:29,580 --> 02:00:30,480
it's blue.

3446
02:00:30,600 --> 02:00:32,240
That means we have something going on here.

3447
02:00:32,300 --> 02:00:35,320
ITM gents after being in hiding in douche

3448
02:00:35,320 --> 02:00:36,980
baggy stand for some time.

3449
02:00:37,120 --> 02:00:37,860
It's here.

3450
02:00:38,140 --> 02:00:39,540
Finally, night status.

3451
02:00:40,180 --> 02:00:42,000
I would like to be known as Celtic

3452
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:44,720
night of the flatter lands like the Netherlands,

3453
02:00:44,980 --> 02:00:46,400
but flat like everything is.

3454
02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:48,520
And for the round table, I would like

3455
02:00:48,520 --> 02:00:52,100
to add Kassambalon, which is a bitter ball

3456
02:00:52,100 --> 02:00:53,780
with cheese and sambal.

3457
02:00:54,380 --> 02:00:56,040
Is sambal the same in English?

3458
02:00:56,260 --> 02:00:56,640
Sambal.

3459
02:00:56,860 --> 02:00:57,220
Sambal.

3460
02:00:57,480 --> 02:00:57,840
I don't know.

3461
02:00:58,680 --> 02:00:59,640
Indonesian spice.

3462
02:00:59,900 --> 02:01:04,740
It comes in a very small little bottle,

3463
02:01:04,980 --> 02:01:06,540
and you open it up, and it's red.

3464
02:01:06,680 --> 02:01:08,200
And it's kind of like hot chili type

3465
02:01:08,200 --> 02:01:08,500
stuff.

3466
02:01:08,620 --> 02:01:11,320
But if you had Indonesian rice toffle, you

3467
02:01:11,320 --> 02:01:13,120
probably had it and just didn't know it.

3468
02:01:14,740 --> 02:01:15,620
By the way.

3469
02:01:15,620 --> 02:01:16,060
Okay.

3470
02:01:16,300 --> 02:01:20,380
On Dutch food, stroopwafel is now an official

3471
02:01:20,380 --> 02:01:22,740
word in the Oxford English dictionary.

3472
02:01:24,260 --> 02:01:26,480
That little waffle, the candy thing?

3473
02:01:26,700 --> 02:01:28,000
Well, it's not supposed to be little.

3474
02:01:28,140 --> 02:01:29,360
It's supposed to be big enough.

3475
02:01:29,500 --> 02:01:30,060
Yeah, it's big.

3476
02:01:30,140 --> 02:01:30,500
It's a big.

3477
02:01:30,660 --> 02:01:31,780
It's a fist sized.

3478
02:01:31,980 --> 02:01:33,520
Yeah, it's supposed to fit on top of

3479
02:01:33,520 --> 02:01:35,420
your cup of tea so it can soften

3480
02:01:35,420 --> 02:01:35,700
up.

3481
02:01:35,760 --> 02:01:35,960
Yes.

3482
02:01:37,060 --> 02:01:38,720
Oh, I didn't know anything about that.

3483
02:01:39,120 --> 02:01:40,420
Oh, okay.

3484
02:01:40,880 --> 02:01:43,980
So you can get these little stroopwafels, or

3485
02:01:43,980 --> 02:01:45,900
as people in America would say, stroopwafels.

3486
02:01:46,200 --> 02:01:47,380
No, stroopwafels.

3487
02:01:48,080 --> 02:01:49,740
And the little itty bitty ones.

3488
02:01:50,040 --> 02:01:50,820
That's no good.

3489
02:01:51,140 --> 02:01:51,840
Reject those.

3490
02:01:52,320 --> 02:01:54,180
You want a nice big size, which is

3491
02:01:54,180 --> 02:01:56,160
about the size, a little bit smaller than

3492
02:01:56,160 --> 02:01:56,660
a CD.

3493
02:01:58,080 --> 02:02:00,300
Yeah, it's about five inches.

3494
02:02:00,580 --> 02:02:01,920
Yeah, so the size of a CD.

3495
02:02:03,100 --> 02:02:06,020
And you can do with coffee, but typically

3496
02:02:06,020 --> 02:02:08,060
you have your cup of tea, and you

3497
02:02:08,060 --> 02:02:09,840
place it on top of your cup of

3498
02:02:09,840 --> 02:02:11,780
tea to let it soften up and get

3499
02:02:11,780 --> 02:02:12,780
all nice and gooey.

3500
02:02:13,480 --> 02:02:15,520
That is the official way of eating a

3501
02:02:15,520 --> 02:02:16,200
stroopwafel.

3502
02:02:16,460 --> 02:02:17,640
Well, this is news to me.

3503
02:02:17,720 --> 02:02:19,200
Well, now you're informed.

3504
02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:21,520
They don't put any instructions on the package.

3505
02:02:23,180 --> 02:02:24,920
I know, it's an outrage.

3506
02:02:25,580 --> 02:02:28,700
I continue with Quirano's note.

3507
02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:32,020
I want to greet my Celtic brothers and

3508
02:02:32,020 --> 02:02:34,980
sisters of the new Celtic order and all

3509
02:02:34,980 --> 02:02:37,580
the Germanches who are douchebags, except for one,

3510
02:02:37,660 --> 02:02:38,000
Hendrik.

3511
02:02:38,080 --> 02:02:39,020
He is also a producer.

3512
02:02:39,800 --> 02:02:43,040
And for the Dutchies, check out Net Neat

3513
02:02:43,040 --> 02:02:46,140
Live, Net Neat Live, which means not quite

3514
02:02:46,140 --> 02:02:47,040
live, on YouTube.

3515
02:02:47,580 --> 02:02:50,160
Once a month, the Celts, Mickey and Joost,

3516
02:02:51,320 --> 02:02:53,580
review the news and do it live with

3517
02:02:53,580 --> 02:02:54,760
a chat, like the Troll Room.

3518
02:02:55,300 --> 02:02:58,560
Episode 252 is coming up, always, the last

3519
02:02:58,560 --> 02:02:59,480
Saturday of the month.

3520
02:02:59,780 --> 02:03:01,460
They've also been around for a while, only

3521
02:03:01,460 --> 02:03:03,580
on audio for a long time, until YouTube

3522
02:03:03,580 --> 02:03:04,300
came along.

3523
02:03:04,680 --> 02:03:06,720
Maybe some karma would be nice for sure.

3524
02:03:06,720 --> 02:03:10,440
China is asshole and due to climate change.

3525
02:03:10,520 --> 02:03:12,580
OK, we've got both of those for you.

3526
02:03:12,980 --> 02:03:16,920
Greetings, Quirano Martin Utirica, Celtic Knight of the

3527
02:03:16,920 --> 02:03:17,720
Flatterlands.

3528
02:03:17,820 --> 02:03:19,160
Donald Trump don't trust China.

3529
02:03:19,360 --> 02:03:20,440
China is asshole.

3530
02:03:20,700 --> 02:03:22,000
Due to climate change.

3531
02:03:23,280 --> 02:03:24,880
You've got karma.

3532
02:03:26,080 --> 02:03:26,500
All right.

3533
02:03:26,620 --> 02:03:27,620
You will be knighted later.

3534
02:03:28,220 --> 02:03:28,780
Thank you for the note.

3535
02:03:28,940 --> 02:03:30,580
Turbo and Massey, um...

3536
02:03:30,580 --> 02:03:32,420
By the way, he don't...

3537
02:03:32,420 --> 02:03:33,720
Did I say 343.75?

3538
02:03:33,980 --> 02:03:34,600
Yeah, I think I did.

3539
02:03:34,700 --> 02:03:35,260
OK, yes.

3540
02:03:36,120 --> 02:03:36,400
Turbo.

3541
02:03:36,400 --> 02:03:40,540
Turbo and Massey, Michigan, 333.33. They call

3542
02:03:40,540 --> 02:03:41,160
me Turbo.

3543
02:03:41,500 --> 02:03:43,580
In the morning, John and Adam, and higher

3544
02:03:43,580 --> 02:03:46,040
-minded thinking into 2025.

3545
02:03:47,900 --> 02:03:51,100
You guys have absolutely been cracking me up

3546
02:03:51,100 --> 02:03:53,380
these past couple episodes.

3547
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:57,380
My wife and I were making soup.

3548
02:04:01,900 --> 02:04:04,940
Some details not needed in your donation note,

3549
02:04:05,080 --> 02:04:05,420
but OK.

3550
02:04:06,540 --> 02:04:11,320
Listening to episode 1726 and right at 104

3551
02:04:11,320 --> 02:04:14,960
.04, either you or John ripped a huge

3552
02:04:14,960 --> 02:04:15,380
fart.

3553
02:04:15,840 --> 02:04:18,140
No, this is not true.

3554
02:04:22,260 --> 02:04:24,480
For one thing, these mics that both of

3555
02:04:24,480 --> 02:04:26,340
us use are highly directional in a sense.

3556
02:04:26,580 --> 02:04:28,200
Seems unlikely you're going to pick up that.

3557
02:04:28,960 --> 02:04:30,700
But we're going to fart while we're sitting

3558
02:04:30,700 --> 02:04:31,320
here anyway.

3559
02:04:31,580 --> 02:04:32,100
Well...

3560
02:04:32,100 --> 02:04:33,300
A huge fart.

3561
02:04:33,440 --> 02:04:34,120
You have been suspecting...

3562
02:04:34,120 --> 02:04:35,280
Let me finish this note.

3563
02:04:35,280 --> 02:04:36,660
A huge fart.

3564
02:04:37,280 --> 02:04:39,480
And my wife and I looked at each

3565
02:04:39,480 --> 02:04:41,340
other like, was that you?

3566
02:04:42,200 --> 02:04:44,060
Oh, one of those two did it.

3567
02:04:44,440 --> 02:04:46,900
When I looked at the oven, it read

3568
02:04:46,900 --> 02:04:48,660
333 on the dot.

3569
02:04:49,720 --> 02:04:52,480
God whispers and farts quietly, and I knew

3570
02:04:52,480 --> 02:04:54,040
it was time to donate again.

3571
02:04:54,920 --> 02:04:56,560
It has been a year since I first

3572
02:04:56,560 --> 02:04:59,040
donated to the show and sent you and

3573
02:04:59,040 --> 02:05:01,040
John a Spark Plug keychain.

3574
02:05:01,140 --> 02:05:01,860
I still have it.

3575
02:05:01,920 --> 02:05:04,000
I never got the Spark Plug keychain.

3576
02:05:04,180 --> 02:05:04,820
It sounds cool.

3577
02:05:05,920 --> 02:05:08,480
Yeah, that he was smelling.

3578
02:05:08,640 --> 02:05:09,940
I was smelling the Spark Plug.

3579
02:05:10,020 --> 02:05:10,740
Yeah, I mentioned it.

3580
02:05:11,740 --> 02:05:14,000
I'm donating 333 and I'm starting...

3581
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:15,460
By the way, you want to send something

3582
02:05:15,460 --> 02:05:17,680
to Adam, ask him for his address and

3583
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:18,560
he'll give it to you.

3584
02:05:18,760 --> 02:05:19,720
Yes, I will.

3585
02:05:20,060 --> 02:05:20,500
Gladly.

3586
02:05:21,080 --> 02:05:23,580
I'm not a remailing service here.

3587
02:05:24,860 --> 02:05:26,240
California, to say the least.

3588
02:05:26,860 --> 02:05:28,920
You get stuff eventually, but come on.

3589
02:05:29,720 --> 02:05:33,040
I'm starting my recurring donation based on diesel,

3590
02:05:33,160 --> 02:05:37,820
electric, heavy equipment, hydraulic services, turbos, truck and

3591
02:05:37,820 --> 02:05:38,580
trailer repair.

3592
02:05:39,620 --> 02:05:41,380
I don't sell you on a dream.

3593
02:05:41,600 --> 02:05:43,760
I clearly diagnose and inform you on what

3594
02:05:43,760 --> 02:05:44,440
you need.

3595
02:05:44,920 --> 02:05:48,080
I'm offering to anyone who mentions ITM will

3596
02:05:48,080 --> 02:05:49,940
get a discount of 33%.

3597
02:05:49,940 --> 02:05:50,640
This is a big deal.

3598
02:05:51,320 --> 02:05:54,000
33% off my services and we'll be

3599
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:56,000
donating it directly to the show.

3600
02:05:56,380 --> 02:05:57,340
Oh, excellent.

3601
02:05:57,340 --> 02:06:00,540
Email me at TTTpayable at Outlook.com.

3602
02:06:00,660 --> 02:06:01,740
TTT payable.

3603
02:06:02,240 --> 02:06:02,480
Nice.

3604
02:06:03,020 --> 02:06:04,420
At Outlook.com.

3605
02:06:04,520 --> 02:06:06,020
Okay, we'll go with that.

3606
02:06:06,080 --> 02:06:06,880
We'll push that.

3607
02:06:07,040 --> 02:06:07,300
All right.

3608
02:06:07,320 --> 02:06:11,680
Now I have the episode 1776 at 103

3609
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:12,820
.50. Let's listen.

3610
02:06:12,820 --> 02:06:14,320
Oh, that digital euro is coming.

3611
02:06:14,480 --> 02:06:15,380
I'd believe that.

3612
02:06:15,540 --> 02:06:16,860
I fully believe that's happening.

3613
02:06:16,880 --> 02:06:17,460
They're going to try.

3614
02:06:17,640 --> 02:06:18,840
Everyone wants to do these things.

3615
02:06:18,840 --> 02:06:19,980
Fully believe that's happening.

3616
02:06:20,100 --> 02:06:20,840
Fully believe it.

3617
02:06:21,020 --> 02:06:24,700
Of course, we have our own fun here

3618
02:06:24,700 --> 02:06:25,600
in the United States.

3619
02:06:25,600 --> 02:06:27,880
We've been tracking this for over a decade

3620
02:06:27,880 --> 02:06:28,480
on the show.

3621
02:06:28,520 --> 02:06:29,960
Let's start with some of these new tracks.

3622
02:06:30,100 --> 02:06:31,060
No fart heard here.

3623
02:06:31,780 --> 02:06:32,760
No, I didn't hear anything.

3624
02:06:32,940 --> 02:06:33,960
One of those two did it.

3625
02:06:34,080 --> 02:06:34,720
It's his wife.

3626
02:06:35,020 --> 02:06:35,420
You know it.

3627
02:06:35,560 --> 02:06:36,880
Pointing the finger at each other.

3628
02:06:36,960 --> 02:06:37,220
That's right.

3629
02:06:37,280 --> 02:06:37,880
It's his wife.

3630
02:06:37,980 --> 02:06:39,640
I guarantee you his wife did it.

3631
02:06:39,960 --> 02:06:40,800
Women do that.

3632
02:06:41,340 --> 02:06:41,700
Oh, no.

3633
02:06:41,760 --> 02:06:42,440
It's John and Adam.

3634
02:06:45,540 --> 02:06:46,420
All right.

3635
02:06:47,060 --> 02:06:48,920
John Kelber, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

3636
02:06:49,240 --> 02:06:50,920
333.33. Blue.

3637
02:06:51,080 --> 02:06:52,440
That means something's happening here.

3638
02:06:52,440 --> 02:06:53,420
ITM, gentlemen.

3639
02:06:53,900 --> 02:06:55,860
It's been a long journey from believing the

3640
02:06:55,860 --> 02:06:59,420
official messages of the M5M to questioning everything,

3641
02:06:59,520 --> 02:07:00,640
no matter how foundational.

3642
02:07:01,080 --> 02:07:03,440
Since hearing Adam on the higher side chats

3643
02:07:03,440 --> 02:07:05,740
with host Greg Carlwood, who I believe is

3644
02:07:05,740 --> 02:07:08,200
a knight already, Noah Jen has been an

3645
02:07:08,200 --> 02:07:10,240
important part of my pod journey.

3646
02:07:11,220 --> 02:07:12,660
That's a knife to the heart.

3647
02:07:13,340 --> 02:07:15,220
Now I have a human resource on the

3648
02:07:15,220 --> 02:07:16,900
way who I'm excited to bring along for

3649
02:07:16,900 --> 02:07:17,300
the ride.

3650
02:07:17,600 --> 02:07:19,960
They're going to love hearing about aliens and

3651
02:07:19,960 --> 02:07:21,720
the black cube and the true shape of

3652
02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:22,100
the earth.

3653
02:07:22,440 --> 02:07:23,580
It's a hot dog.

3654
02:07:24,220 --> 02:07:25,940
And, of course, your media deconstruction.

3655
02:07:27,360 --> 02:07:31,020
If available, please knight me Sir 10 of

3656
02:07:31,020 --> 02:07:31,460
nothing.

3657
02:07:32,040 --> 02:07:35,080
Could you order lakefront eastside dark lager and

3658
02:07:35,080 --> 02:07:36,920
cheese curds for the roundtable?

3659
02:07:37,480 --> 02:07:38,320
Why, yes, of course.

3660
02:07:38,660 --> 02:07:41,140
Lastly, I'd like to hear the Starman flat

3661
02:07:41,140 --> 02:07:44,520
earth jingle that I heard on bingit.io.

3662
02:07:44,960 --> 02:07:46,420
Well, you betcha, John Kelber.

3663
02:07:46,460 --> 02:07:47,640
And we'll see you at the roundtable.

3664
02:08:18,640 --> 02:08:21,240
I think that's Sir Chris.

3665
02:08:21,300 --> 02:08:21,640
Sir Chris.

3666
02:08:21,640 --> 02:08:23,180
Yeah, it sounds more like him than that

3667
02:08:23,180 --> 02:08:25,860
other clip, because in this case, he did

3668
02:08:25,860 --> 02:08:27,900
his normal off-key singing, which is what

3669
02:08:27,900 --> 02:08:28,320
he does.

3670
02:08:29,240 --> 02:08:31,680
I'm always stunned when he doesn't do that.

3671
02:08:35,400 --> 02:08:42,820
Anonymous, meanwhile, in Marinette, Wisconsin, three, three, three

3672
02:08:42,820 --> 02:08:43,820
dot three, three.

3673
02:08:44,820 --> 02:08:47,740
That intelligence analyst guy was hilarious.

3674
02:08:48,280 --> 02:08:51,320
He clearly wanted to sound mysterious with his

3675
02:08:51,320 --> 02:08:51,920
terminology.

3676
02:08:52,560 --> 02:08:54,160
So he just sounds like a fool.

3677
02:08:54,640 --> 02:08:57,880
Reminds me of a new troop of a

3678
02:08:57,880 --> 02:09:01,080
new troop talking to his family at Christmas,

3679
02:09:01,280 --> 02:09:03,040
fresh out of Intel School.

3680
02:09:03,280 --> 02:09:03,480
Yeah.

3681
02:09:04,160 --> 02:09:09,340
This anonymous guy is telling us something about

3682
02:09:09,340 --> 02:09:10,080
his business.

3683
02:09:10,160 --> 02:09:10,440
Yep.

3684
02:09:11,700 --> 02:09:14,560
You know, Dame Girl Kyle and Sir Jackie

3685
02:09:14,560 --> 02:09:15,020
Green.

3686
02:09:15,180 --> 02:09:16,940
I didn't know that they were an item.

3687
02:09:16,940 --> 02:09:18,140
Were you aware of this?

3688
02:09:18,820 --> 02:09:20,880
I was unaware of this, but now I'm

3689
02:09:20,880 --> 02:09:21,480
aware of it.

3690
02:09:21,960 --> 02:09:24,600
333 dot 33 with a handwritten note.

3691
02:09:24,860 --> 02:09:28,080
Oh, actually, it's I guess it looks like

3692
02:09:28,080 --> 02:09:29,020
they have kids together.

3693
02:09:29,380 --> 02:09:31,260
Either that or it's them as kids.

3694
02:09:31,480 --> 02:09:32,400
It could be on the other side.

3695
02:09:32,440 --> 02:09:33,880
Unfortunately, I don't think that Jay sent a

3696
02:09:33,880 --> 02:09:35,960
copy, but there's a picture of them and

3697
02:09:35,960 --> 02:09:37,160
the kids and the whole thing.

3698
02:09:37,200 --> 02:09:39,260
It's a really very, very sweet.

3699
02:09:39,380 --> 02:09:40,800
Well, Happy New Year, John and Adam.

3700
02:09:40,980 --> 02:09:42,000
333 dot 33.

3701
02:09:42,140 --> 02:09:43,860
Thank you for your courage in 2024.

3702
02:09:44,380 --> 02:09:46,380
Wishing you and your family and all of

3703
02:09:46,380 --> 02:09:47,160
knowage in the nation.

3704
02:09:47,240 --> 02:09:49,280
Lots of love, health and happiness in 2025.

3705
02:09:49,600 --> 02:09:52,260
Dame Girl Kyle, not Kylie and Sir Jackie

3706
02:09:52,260 --> 02:09:52,740
Green.

3707
02:09:53,040 --> 02:09:53,380
Beautiful.

3708
02:09:53,580 --> 02:09:54,160
Thank you both.

3709
02:09:57,180 --> 02:09:57,660
Ken.

3710
02:09:58,380 --> 02:09:58,860
Okay.

3711
02:09:59,180 --> 02:10:00,220
I looked it up.

3712
02:10:01,440 --> 02:10:01,840
Oh, good.

3713
02:10:01,980 --> 02:10:03,620
Well, how do you pronounce his last name?

3714
02:10:03,800 --> 02:10:04,280
Ariskog.

3715
02:10:05,160 --> 02:10:06,800
That's what I've always been saying.

3716
02:10:07,060 --> 02:10:07,540
Ariskog.

3717
02:10:07,840 --> 02:10:08,800
No, not Aris.

3718
02:10:09,260 --> 02:10:09,740
Ariskog.

3719
02:10:10,900 --> 02:10:11,380
Ariskog.

3720
02:10:11,620 --> 02:10:13,120
Yeah, I think I'm pricing air.

3721
02:10:13,700 --> 02:10:14,220
Oh, yeah.

3722
02:10:14,220 --> 02:10:15,260
Ariskog.

3723
02:10:15,380 --> 02:10:17,280
Listen, I got the pronunciation thingy.

3724
02:10:17,320 --> 02:10:17,800
Here we go.

3725
02:10:18,220 --> 02:10:18,560
Ariskog.

3726
02:10:18,960 --> 02:10:19,480
Ariskog.

3727
02:10:19,680 --> 02:10:20,200
Ariskog.

3728
02:10:20,320 --> 02:10:20,820
Ariskog.

3729
02:10:21,140 --> 02:10:21,400
Ariskog.

3730
02:10:21,520 --> 02:10:22,040
Ariskog.

3731
02:10:22,380 --> 02:10:22,900
Ariskog.

3732
02:10:24,700 --> 02:10:25,220
Okay.

3733
02:10:25,360 --> 02:10:28,160
Well, Ariskog wrote in a note and he

3734
02:10:28,160 --> 02:10:32,700
says, since 33333, and he writes in a

3735
02:10:32,700 --> 02:10:35,360
nasty note saying, now do try to do

3736
02:10:35,360 --> 02:10:37,460
the voice that he has normally.

3737
02:10:37,960 --> 02:10:40,500
Since you got my sons wrong all the

3738
02:10:40,500 --> 02:10:41,020
time.

3739
02:10:41,780 --> 02:10:43,760
Since you got my sons wrong all the

3740
02:10:43,760 --> 02:10:43,880
time.

3741
02:10:43,880 --> 02:10:45,160
I have no idea what that means.

3742
02:10:45,160 --> 02:10:46,620
I think son's name, I think is what

3743
02:10:46,620 --> 02:10:46,940
he means.

3744
02:10:47,040 --> 02:10:47,900
He doesn't say that.

3745
02:10:47,940 --> 02:10:48,620
It says sons.

3746
02:10:48,820 --> 02:10:50,620
Well, he got something wrong, then serves him

3747
02:10:50,620 --> 02:10:50,900
right.

3748
02:10:51,480 --> 02:10:53,140
And then he has the link to the

3749
02:10:53,140 --> 02:10:54,100
how to pronounce it.

3750
02:10:54,660 --> 02:10:57,320
And he says he's been listening with guilt.

3751
02:10:58,420 --> 02:11:00,860
So I guess the sons are donating.

3752
02:11:01,040 --> 02:11:01,780
He's not.

3753
02:11:01,940 --> 02:11:03,220
That's the only thing I can imagine.

3754
02:11:04,660 --> 02:11:05,440
Regards, Ken.

3755
02:11:06,100 --> 02:11:07,200
Well, thank you very much, Ken.

3756
02:11:08,320 --> 02:11:10,920
Mike checks in from Pennsylvania, 331.

3757
02:11:10,920 --> 02:11:13,460
And this donation, he says, is in loving

3758
02:11:13,460 --> 02:11:15,500
memory of my dear mother, Carol Ann.

3759
02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:17,760
You'll never know how much I love you.

3760
02:11:18,300 --> 02:11:18,780
You know what?

3761
02:11:18,880 --> 02:11:20,700
I guarantee you, Mike, she does.

3762
02:11:21,260 --> 02:11:23,080
Could I please have some health karma for

3763
02:11:23,080 --> 02:11:24,280
my father-in-law, Steve?

3764
02:11:24,760 --> 02:11:26,120
John and Adam, thank you for all you

3765
02:11:26,120 --> 02:11:26,300
do.

3766
02:11:26,380 --> 02:11:28,720
And for always being there for us.

3767
02:11:29,180 --> 02:11:30,300
Sincerely, Mike.

3768
02:11:30,480 --> 02:11:31,080
You bet, Mike.

3769
02:11:31,180 --> 02:11:31,600
Absolutely.

3770
02:11:32,600 --> 02:11:34,160
You've got karma.

3771
02:11:35,220 --> 02:11:37,620
I think what he means is that we

3772
02:11:37,620 --> 02:11:40,620
do shows during the periods of time when

3773
02:11:40,620 --> 02:11:42,120
most people take the days off.

3774
02:11:42,260 --> 02:11:43,960
No, I think he means that we are

3775
02:11:43,960 --> 02:11:46,460
there when everyone's all spun up and all

3776
02:11:46,460 --> 02:11:47,860
psyched out about stuff.

3777
02:11:47,900 --> 02:11:49,880
And we're always there to catch them as

3778
02:11:49,880 --> 02:11:50,400
they're falling.

3779
02:11:52,420 --> 02:11:53,040
Could be.

3780
02:11:53,760 --> 02:11:56,720
But meanwhile, Annie Williams, or Ann, could be

3781
02:11:56,720 --> 02:11:57,460
Ann, probably Ann.

3782
02:11:57,460 --> 02:11:58,080
I'm pretty sure it's Ann.

3783
02:11:58,420 --> 02:12:02,540
Ann Williams in Pagewood, New South Wales, it

3784
02:12:02,540 --> 02:12:02,820
says.

3785
02:12:02,980 --> 02:12:04,740
But it says U.S., so I don't

3786
02:12:04,740 --> 02:12:05,480
know, NSW.

3787
02:12:06,640 --> 02:12:09,120
So she lives in NSW somewhere.

3788
02:12:09,120 --> 02:12:10,200
Yes, you'd think.

3789
02:12:10,560 --> 02:12:13,960
She came with 220-222 and no note,

3790
02:12:14,040 --> 02:12:14,540
no nothing.

3791
02:12:14,780 --> 02:12:16,580
It came in through Stripe.

3792
02:12:16,800 --> 02:12:18,760
And so she gets to double up karma.

3793
02:12:19,000 --> 02:12:19,800
She sure does.

3794
02:12:20,520 --> 02:12:23,760
You've got karma.

3795
02:12:25,540 --> 02:12:28,560
And she is our first Associate Executive Producer.

3796
02:12:28,700 --> 02:12:29,880
Our second is C.

3797
02:12:30,060 --> 02:12:33,900
Steele from Urbandale, Iowa, 210-60.

3798
02:12:34,580 --> 02:12:35,420
And C.

3799
02:12:35,500 --> 02:12:37,660
Steele says, thank you for creating this show.

3800
02:12:38,640 --> 02:12:40,300
Well, I thought it was created by Dana

3801
02:12:40,300 --> 02:12:40,740
Brunetti.

3802
02:12:41,960 --> 02:12:44,160
No, Dana Brunetti, let's get it straight.

3803
02:12:44,380 --> 02:12:46,680
He came up with tip of the day.

3804
02:12:46,860 --> 02:12:47,460
Yeah, I know.

3805
02:12:48,080 --> 02:12:49,520
And then he grouses a lot.

3806
02:12:50,340 --> 02:12:52,020
Yeah, because he can't get you on the

3807
02:12:52,020 --> 02:12:52,280
phone.

3808
02:12:52,720 --> 02:12:55,020
He's calling you like a teenage girl.

3809
02:12:55,140 --> 02:12:55,960
Wow, callback.

3810
02:12:56,060 --> 02:12:57,220
You're getting pretty good at that.

3811
02:12:57,260 --> 02:12:58,900
I can't get John on the phone.

3812
02:12:59,020 --> 02:13:02,420
His line is busy, like a teenage girl.

3813
02:13:03,100 --> 02:13:05,380
I was introduced to the show, says C.

3814
02:13:05,480 --> 02:13:06,800
Steele, a few years ago.

3815
02:13:06,800 --> 02:13:08,820
And I do believe your ability to relay

3816
02:13:08,820 --> 02:13:10,920
all information in a fun matter is what

3817
02:13:10,920 --> 02:13:12,280
makes this show so great.

3818
02:13:12,920 --> 02:13:15,560
Adam, like you, I am also a follower

3819
02:13:15,560 --> 02:13:17,240
of Christ and have been working to walk

3820
02:13:17,240 --> 02:13:19,180
as close to Christ as I possibly can.

3821
02:13:19,600 --> 02:13:22,140
In 2018, my oldest daughter was diagnosed with

3822
02:13:22,140 --> 02:13:25,320
a very rare heart condition called pulmonary vein

3823
02:13:25,320 --> 02:13:25,920
stenosis.

3824
02:13:26,440 --> 02:13:28,360
It was a life-changing moment for my

3825
02:13:28,360 --> 02:13:29,280
entire family.

3826
02:13:29,480 --> 02:13:31,860
Instead of blaming God and being angry, we

3827
02:13:31,860 --> 02:13:33,500
have given our lives to Christ and placed

3828
02:13:33,500 --> 02:13:34,380
it all in his hands.

3829
02:13:34,620 --> 02:13:35,980
God is great through all things.

3830
02:13:35,980 --> 02:13:38,180
I encourage everyone to seek God, especially if

3831
02:13:38,180 --> 02:13:40,480
you are struggling to get through something difficult,

3832
02:13:40,680 --> 02:13:42,380
like a fire in Los Angeles.

3833
02:13:42,900 --> 02:13:44,940
We have seen miracles happen with our own

3834
02:13:44,940 --> 02:13:46,920
daughter, and we know he isn't finished yet.

3835
02:13:47,220 --> 02:13:49,440
I donate today to bring awareness for this

3836
02:13:49,440 --> 02:13:51,920
devastating condition and to share my family's story

3837
02:13:51,920 --> 02:13:53,660
of faith working through dark times.

3838
02:13:54,140 --> 02:13:56,500
Anyone interested can find our story by searching

3839
02:13:56,500 --> 02:14:02,360
Viola Marie's Heart Journey on GoFundMe.

3840
02:14:02,360 --> 02:14:05,220
Her journey is far from over, but God's

3841
02:14:05,220 --> 02:14:06,360
grace will see us through it.

3842
02:14:06,920 --> 02:14:08,380
Side note, we use GoFundMe as the way

3843
02:14:08,380 --> 02:14:09,740
to share the story because that's where my

3844
02:14:09,740 --> 02:14:11,660
lovely wife first started tracking everything.

3845
02:14:12,360 --> 02:14:13,520
Thank you again, C.

3846
02:14:13,620 --> 02:14:13,900
Steele.

3847
02:14:14,000 --> 02:14:14,560
Well, thank you.

3848
02:14:14,640 --> 02:14:15,240
God bless you, brother.

3849
02:14:18,120 --> 02:14:21,960
Uh, and now we go to the Eli

3850
02:14:21,960 --> 02:14:22,840
the Coffee guy.

3851
02:14:22,980 --> 02:14:23,360
Is that right?

3852
02:14:23,520 --> 02:14:23,780
Am I right?

3853
02:14:23,780 --> 02:14:23,960
That's right.

3854
02:14:24,040 --> 02:14:24,900
Eli is up next.

3855
02:14:24,940 --> 02:14:25,280
You're right.

3856
02:14:25,360 --> 02:14:29,060
Yeah, he's in Bensonville, Illinois, 201.

3857
02:14:29,060 --> 02:14:33,080
I'm starting to use some of his blends

3858
02:14:33,080 --> 02:14:36,500
instead of just a single one.

3859
02:14:36,520 --> 02:14:38,860
I want to thank Eli once again for

3860
02:14:38,860 --> 02:14:39,980
sending coffee.

3861
02:14:40,420 --> 02:14:44,580
We received a package for him, and he

3862
02:14:44,580 --> 02:14:47,700
always includes decaffeinated for Tina, which he highly

3863
02:14:47,700 --> 02:14:48,440
appreciates.

3864
02:14:50,810 --> 02:14:52,630
She can't drink caffeinated coffee?

3865
02:14:52,930 --> 02:14:53,510
Not anymore.

3866
02:14:54,150 --> 02:14:54,490
Why?

3867
02:14:54,750 --> 02:14:55,670
The thyroid thing.

3868
02:14:56,610 --> 02:14:58,010
Oh, well, who needs that?

3869
02:14:58,010 --> 02:14:58,670
Okay.

3870
02:14:59,110 --> 02:15:01,190
Well, anyway, Eli came in with 20109.

3871
02:15:01,310 --> 02:15:04,070
In 2025, he writes his promises starting to

3872
02:15:04,070 --> 02:15:04,850
get interesting.

3873
02:15:05,610 --> 02:15:07,730
Taiwanese internet cables cut by China.

3874
02:15:08,570 --> 02:15:11,690
The media completely ignoring the story about American

3875
02:15:11,690 --> 02:15:16,430
and Ukrainian mercenaries being captured in Venezuela from

3876
02:15:16,430 --> 02:15:19,810
plotting attacks to destabilize the country's leadership and

3877
02:15:19,810 --> 02:15:21,210
bird flu and raw milk.

3878
02:15:23,210 --> 02:15:25,510
With today's chaos, it's always good to have

3879
02:15:25,510 --> 02:15:29,870
a preparedness plan, and that preparedness plan should

3880
02:15:29,870 --> 02:15:30,850
include coffee.

3881
02:15:31,590 --> 02:15:34,570
That's why you should visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com.

3882
02:15:34,630 --> 02:15:36,310
Use code ITM to stock up today.

3883
02:15:36,410 --> 02:15:37,030
Just kidding.

3884
02:15:37,410 --> 02:15:40,690
No need to panic, but having extra coffee

3885
02:15:40,690 --> 02:15:41,270
never hurts.

3886
02:15:41,450 --> 02:15:43,230
They caffeinated Eli, the coffee guy.

3887
02:15:43,350 --> 02:15:43,770
This is true.

3888
02:15:44,030 --> 02:15:46,570
I mean, in an emergency, we want coffee.

3889
02:15:46,670 --> 02:15:47,330
That's for sure.

3890
02:15:47,870 --> 02:15:50,070
And then we have another Dutchie checking in

3891
02:15:50,070 --> 02:15:51,470
from Amersfoort, the Netherlands.

3892
02:15:51,630 --> 02:15:51,970
$200.

3893
02:15:52,430 --> 02:15:53,330
Jeroen Broers.

3894
02:15:53,490 --> 02:15:58,010
And he says, which I will translate.

3895
02:15:59,370 --> 02:16:01,610
You're doing a good job, you goat knitters.

3896
02:16:03,430 --> 02:16:04,650
Is that a phrase?

3897
02:16:05,610 --> 02:16:06,130
Yes.

3898
02:16:06,710 --> 02:16:08,970
Is someone who knits out of goat.

3899
02:16:10,510 --> 02:16:12,570
They make like a goat sweater, for example.

3900
02:16:12,570 --> 02:16:16,650
Yes, I didn't know goats had that much

3901
02:16:16,650 --> 02:16:20,070
knittable stuff on them, but yes.

3902
02:16:20,330 --> 02:16:22,570
Some goats are like, isn't the Merino wool

3903
02:16:22,570 --> 02:16:23,110
goat?

3904
02:16:24,170 --> 02:16:24,810
I don't know.

3905
02:16:24,850 --> 02:16:25,190
Is it?

3906
02:16:25,350 --> 02:16:26,690
I think there's some, I think there is,

3907
02:16:26,850 --> 02:16:28,530
or wait, there is one goat.

3908
02:16:28,770 --> 02:16:31,350
Somebody in the chat room knows what this

3909
02:16:31,350 --> 02:16:31,610
is.

3910
02:16:31,629 --> 02:16:33,850
There's a goat that's used, this fleece is

3911
02:16:33,850 --> 02:16:35,850
used to make fabric.

3912
02:16:37,129 --> 02:16:38,590
I don't know if it's the Merino or

3913
02:16:38,590 --> 02:16:38,830
not.

3914
02:16:38,889 --> 02:16:40,049
I mean, I could be wrong about that.

3915
02:16:40,070 --> 02:16:40,670
Let me see.

3916
02:16:42,969 --> 02:16:43,969
So goat knit.

3917
02:16:44,070 --> 02:16:45,190
Yeah, it would make sense.

3918
02:16:45,430 --> 02:16:47,330
Let me see what, I actually don't really

3919
02:16:47,330 --> 02:16:48,730
know where that comes from.

3920
02:16:49,570 --> 02:16:51,090
The Gijtenbrijers Dutchism.

3921
02:16:51,570 --> 02:16:52,309
Someone needs to explain.

3922
02:16:52,590 --> 02:16:55,830
I mean, basically, if you're a Gijtenbrijer, you're

3923
02:16:55,830 --> 02:16:57,270
kind of like a doofus.

3924
02:17:00,990 --> 02:17:01,389
Doofus.

3925
02:17:01,690 --> 02:17:02,510
You're a doofus.

3926
02:17:02,750 --> 02:17:04,870
Yeah, that's what a Gijtenbrijers.

3927
02:17:05,670 --> 02:17:07,410
So, but it's, it can be a term

3928
02:17:07,410 --> 02:17:08,830
of endearment if you say it the way

3929
02:17:08,830 --> 02:17:09,150
he did.

3930
02:17:09,230 --> 02:17:11,070
It's an Angora goat.

3931
02:17:11,209 --> 02:17:12,330
Maybe I'm thinking Angora.

3932
02:17:12,330 --> 02:17:14,389
Yes, Angora goat.

3933
02:17:14,530 --> 02:17:15,090
You were correct.

3934
02:17:15,510 --> 02:17:15,910
You are correct.

3935
02:17:16,270 --> 02:17:16,530
Angora.

3936
02:17:16,530 --> 02:17:17,090
That's a goat.

3937
02:17:17,270 --> 02:17:17,910
That's cashmere.

3938
02:17:18,090 --> 02:17:20,170
So we're, we're high-end goats.

3939
02:17:21,209 --> 02:17:22,090
We're high-end.

3940
02:17:23,650 --> 02:17:24,490
We're high-end.

3941
02:17:24,490 --> 02:17:25,690
Oh, there it is.

3942
02:17:27,930 --> 02:17:29,350
Uh, that, oh, that was it?

3943
02:17:29,570 --> 02:17:30,290
Yeah, that was it.

3944
02:17:30,730 --> 02:17:32,709
Oh, then it takes us to Linda Lupatkin.

3945
02:17:32,830 --> 02:17:33,969
I'd get Linded today.

3946
02:17:34,629 --> 02:17:36,730
She's in Lakewood, Colorado for anyone who wants

3947
02:17:36,730 --> 02:17:37,629
to track her down.

3948
02:17:38,670 --> 02:17:40,930
She is asking for jobs, Carmen.

3949
02:17:40,930 --> 02:17:42,889
She wants to say for a resume that

3950
02:17:42,889 --> 02:17:46,670
gets results, visit ImageMakersInc.com for your go

3951
02:17:46,670 --> 02:17:49,670

3952
02:17:49,670 --> 02:17:50,889
job search needs.

3953
02:17:51,030 --> 02:17:52,190
That's ImageMakersInc with a K.

3954
02:17:52,610 --> 02:17:54,530
Work with Linda Lu, Duchess of Jobs and

3955
02:17:54,530 --> 02:17:55,230
writer of resumes.

3956
02:17:55,530 --> 02:17:58,910
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

3957
02:17:59,129 --> 02:18:00,570
Let's vote for jobs.

3958
02:18:01,370 --> 02:18:01,969
Nikos.

3959
02:18:02,170 --> 02:18:02,690
Karma.

3960
02:18:03,010 --> 02:18:06,889
And then our final, our final associate executive

3961
02:18:06,889 --> 02:18:09,230
producer is Paul from Knoxville, Tennessee.

3962
02:18:09,850 --> 02:18:11,770
And, uh, what did, uh, what did Paul

3963
02:18:11,770 --> 02:18:12,370
come in with?

3964
02:18:12,490 --> 02:18:14,790
Paul came in with, uh, 200.

3965
02:18:15,389 --> 02:18:16,770
And he has a blue note.

3966
02:18:16,950 --> 02:18:17,450
That's good.

3967
02:18:17,549 --> 02:18:19,629
In the morning, John Adam enclosed $200 donation,

3968
02:18:19,670 --> 02:18:22,090
which according to my flawless accounting, finally brings

3969
02:18:22,090 --> 02:18:23,250
me to night status.

3970
02:18:23,430 --> 02:18:24,930
I would like to be given the title

3971
02:18:24,930 --> 02:18:27,889
as Super Apple of the Tennessee Hills.

3972
02:18:28,209 --> 02:18:32,610
I also request, uh, that the round table

3973
02:18:32,610 --> 02:18:35,730
be replete with high-quality tequila and tacos

3974
02:18:35,730 --> 02:18:38,350
of any meat-laden variety.

3975
02:18:38,350 --> 02:18:39,389
You got it.

3976
02:18:39,990 --> 02:18:41,290
I would also like to take this moment

3977
02:18:41,290 --> 02:18:42,549
to thank you all for what you do,

3978
02:18:42,830 --> 02:18:44,549
exposing the mainstream media for what it is,

3979
02:18:44,830 --> 02:18:47,969
an overflowing Port of John at an Indian

3980
02:18:47,969 --> 02:18:48,870
food festival.

3981
02:18:49,830 --> 02:18:50,629
Nice visual.

3982
02:18:51,549 --> 02:18:52,170
And to John.

3983
02:18:53,070 --> 02:18:53,870
To John.

3984
02:18:54,430 --> 02:18:56,190
Oh, I think he's got it mixed up.

3985
02:18:56,309 --> 02:18:57,549
I like it better this way.

3986
02:18:57,629 --> 02:18:58,270
And to John.

3987
02:18:58,430 --> 02:19:00,870
I've enjoyed hearing about your faith journey, and

3988
02:19:00,870 --> 02:19:02,549
I hope that it continues to be fruitful

3989
02:19:02,549 --> 02:19:04,850
and as a positive influence on Knowage and

3990
02:19:04,850 --> 02:19:05,230
the nation.

3991
02:19:05,330 --> 02:19:06,570
What are you doing when I'm not talking

3992
02:19:06,570 --> 02:19:07,129
to you, John?

3993
02:19:07,129 --> 02:19:09,090
Especially those who may be on the— Catholics

3994
02:19:09,090 --> 02:19:10,770
don't have faith journeys, so you got to

3995
02:19:10,770 --> 02:19:11,730
be a little more charismatic.

3996
02:19:13,790 --> 02:19:15,370
Catholics don't have faith journeys?

3997
02:19:16,030 --> 02:19:16,670
Not really.

3998
02:19:16,690 --> 02:19:17,750
What, they just pop out of the womb

3999
02:19:17,750 --> 02:19:17,950
like that?

4000
02:19:17,950 --> 02:19:19,110
None of the same sort.

4001
02:19:19,309 --> 02:19:20,290
None of that variety.

4002
02:19:20,450 --> 02:19:21,750
Of the charismatics.

4003
02:19:23,270 --> 02:19:23,930
Careful now.

4004
02:19:24,170 --> 02:19:25,490
I'm going to start speaking in tongues.

4005
02:19:25,770 --> 02:19:27,570
Especially those who may be on their own

4006
02:19:27,570 --> 02:19:28,450
road to Christianity.

4007
02:19:28,570 --> 02:19:29,610
Well, I certainly hope so.

4008
02:19:29,730 --> 02:19:31,930
Lastly, I would like to request some jobs,

4009
02:19:32,070 --> 02:19:33,709
Karma, and a few of my favorites.

4010
02:19:34,430 --> 02:19:34,790
Okay.

4011
02:19:34,790 --> 02:19:36,410
Little girl, yay.

4012
02:19:36,709 --> 02:19:38,450
I'd like a Sharpton montage.

4013
02:19:38,770 --> 02:19:40,330
I got a little Sharpton for you.

4014
02:19:40,889 --> 02:19:42,010
And the noodle gun.

4015
02:19:42,110 --> 02:19:43,870
Well, you really are asking for a lot,

4016
02:19:43,950 --> 02:19:44,990
but we can do it for you.

4017
02:19:45,330 --> 02:19:46,870
And we will see you at the round

4018
02:19:46,870 --> 02:19:47,230
table.

4019
02:19:47,350 --> 02:19:49,810
He concludes by saying, May 2025 be a

4020
02:19:49,810 --> 02:19:51,490
year of blessings for you and your families,

4021
02:19:51,590 --> 02:19:53,750
as well as for all of Knowage and

4022
02:19:53,750 --> 02:19:54,170
the nation.

4023
02:19:56,050 --> 02:19:58,050
Thanks to you, Ed.

4024
02:19:58,250 --> 02:20:00,630
Is this crown hog day two?

4025
02:20:00,630 --> 02:20:01,790
We are watching.

4026
02:20:02,010 --> 02:20:05,290
That was Attorney General Eric Holder.

4027
02:20:05,730 --> 02:20:11,670
ABDs about some Republicans at home are already

4028
02:20:11,670 --> 02:20:13,230
beating the drums of war.

4029
02:20:13,350 --> 02:20:16,110
Today, the Pentagon refuted that claim.

4030
02:20:16,390 --> 02:20:18,930
And he said the American people do not

4031
02:20:18,930 --> 02:20:21,510
want him to quote, dwindling.

4032
02:20:21,810 --> 02:20:24,370
They do not want him dwindling his thumb.

4033
02:20:32,770 --> 02:20:36,890
I got my pasta glock locked and loaded.

4034
02:20:37,030 --> 02:20:40,430
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4035
02:20:40,610 --> 02:20:42,130
Let's vote for jobs.

4036
02:20:42,710 --> 02:20:48,330
Yes, I am reliably informed Catholics have pilgrimage,

4037
02:20:49,030 --> 02:20:49,550
pilgrimages.

4038
02:20:49,890 --> 02:20:50,910
You don't have journeys.

4039
02:20:51,150 --> 02:20:51,950
You pilgrimages.

4040
02:20:52,390 --> 02:20:55,530
So we so Sharpton is still working for

4041
02:20:55,530 --> 02:20:58,390
MSNBC after taking that $500,000 bribe from

4042
02:20:58,390 --> 02:21:00,730
Kamala to do a softball interview with her.

4043
02:21:01,130 --> 02:21:03,330
That's a good question, because I did notice

4044
02:21:03,330 --> 02:21:05,190
she have an article here.

4045
02:21:05,550 --> 02:21:06,470
Let me see.

4046
02:21:08,370 --> 02:21:10,430
Let's see who is left mainstream.

4047
02:21:12,790 --> 02:21:15,710
Coda, Hoda, Hoda, Hoda is leaving the Today

4048
02:21:15,710 --> 02:21:15,990
Show.

4049
02:21:16,830 --> 02:21:17,450
You know that?

4050
02:21:17,530 --> 02:21:18,190
Do you know she's leaving?

4051
02:21:18,270 --> 02:21:18,470
Oh, yeah.

4052
02:21:18,470 --> 02:21:19,950
She talks about it on the other.

4053
02:21:20,310 --> 02:21:21,470
Nora O'Donnell.

4054
02:21:21,630 --> 02:21:22,210
You were right.

4055
02:21:22,470 --> 02:21:25,430
Leaving CBS Evening News took forever.

4056
02:21:25,550 --> 02:21:26,530
Well, she'll be doing her.

4057
02:21:26,530 --> 02:21:28,890
She's taking on a special correspondent.

4058
02:21:29,210 --> 02:21:29,990
Oh, yeah, that's what you do.

4059
02:21:30,130 --> 02:21:31,550
That's how they fire you out.

4060
02:21:31,930 --> 02:21:32,690
Fired, fired.

4061
02:21:33,130 --> 02:21:34,190
Jeff Glor.

4062
02:21:35,930 --> 02:21:37,810
He was kicked out in September.

4063
02:21:38,710 --> 02:21:40,630
I thought Jeff Glor always did good work.

4064
02:21:40,750 --> 02:21:43,250
And it's really weird to me that he

4065
02:21:43,250 --> 02:21:44,550
lost his job.

4066
02:21:45,610 --> 02:21:49,270
Of course, Chris Wallace bid farewell to CNN.

4067
02:21:49,350 --> 02:21:50,670
Of course, he's going to be the next

4068
02:21:50,670 --> 02:21:51,550
Joe Rogan.

4069
02:21:51,630 --> 02:21:52,790
He's going to do a podcast.

4070
02:21:53,650 --> 02:21:54,270
Chris Wallace.

4071
02:21:54,610 --> 02:21:55,550
Yes, he left.

4072
02:21:55,550 --> 02:21:56,650
Yeah, he's doing podcast.

4073
02:21:56,870 --> 02:21:58,350
I thought he left a while ago.

4074
02:21:58,550 --> 02:21:58,650
Okay.

4075
02:21:58,810 --> 02:21:59,750
Well, this is.

4076
02:22:00,510 --> 02:22:01,290
Podcast Chris Wallace.

4077
02:22:03,170 --> 02:22:05,790
There's no Joe Rogan in Chris Wallace.

4078
02:22:05,990 --> 02:22:07,090
The Wallace pod.

4079
02:22:08,230 --> 02:22:11,050
Allison Camerota, Neil Cavuto.

4080
02:22:12,810 --> 02:22:13,910
Cavuto has been ill.

4081
02:22:14,730 --> 02:22:15,450
He's been ill?

4082
02:22:15,770 --> 02:22:16,370
I didn't know that.

4083
02:22:16,490 --> 02:22:16,830
He's been ill.

4084
02:22:17,070 --> 02:22:18,470
He's dying, basically.

4085
02:22:18,570 --> 02:22:18,830
Really?

4086
02:22:18,950 --> 02:22:19,570
What does he have?

4087
02:22:19,650 --> 02:22:20,130
That's horrible.

4088
02:22:20,290 --> 02:22:21,770
He's got some sort of horrible condition.

4089
02:22:22,190 --> 02:22:24,110
Oh, I didn't know that.

4090
02:22:24,670 --> 02:22:25,870
You know who I still miss?

4091
02:22:26,070 --> 02:22:26,310
Our guy.

4092
02:22:26,430 --> 02:22:27,190
Who was our guy?

4093
02:22:27,530 --> 02:22:30,390
Charles Krauthammer.

4094
02:22:30,950 --> 02:22:31,350
Krauthammer.

4095
02:22:32,090 --> 02:22:32,970
Well, he's dead.

4096
02:22:33,090 --> 02:22:33,510
I know.

4097
02:22:34,030 --> 02:22:34,430
Hello.

4098
02:22:34,990 --> 02:22:35,830
Yes, he's dead.

4099
02:22:35,930 --> 02:22:36,570
But I miss him.

4100
02:22:36,790 --> 02:22:37,870
He was he was a great.

4101
02:22:38,150 --> 02:22:39,630
And the other guy, our Russia guy.

4102
02:22:39,730 --> 02:22:40,530
I miss him, too.

4103
02:22:40,850 --> 02:22:41,830
Oh, the Russia guy.

4104
02:22:41,950 --> 02:22:43,490
I mean, I kind of miss him.

4105
02:22:43,690 --> 02:22:44,190
What was his name?

4106
02:22:44,450 --> 02:22:44,850
Yes, Stephen.

4107
02:22:45,070 --> 02:22:46,550
Stephen was a cone or.

4108
02:22:47,370 --> 02:22:48,130
Yes, Stephen Cone.

4109
02:22:48,190 --> 02:22:48,830
I think you're right.

4110
02:22:49,050 --> 02:22:49,270
Yeah.

4111
02:22:50,690 --> 02:22:52,990
Anyway, as long as we don't have to

4112
02:22:52,990 --> 02:22:54,330
miss each other, as long as we're still

4113
02:22:54,330 --> 02:22:55,490
here, it's all good.

4114
02:22:55,670 --> 02:22:57,090
And with that, we want to thank our

4115
02:22:57,090 --> 02:23:01,010
executive and associate executive producers of episode 1728.

4116
02:23:01,190 --> 02:23:02,530
Thank you for making it a reality.

4117
02:23:02,710 --> 02:23:04,110
And of course, we look forward to thanking

4118
02:23:04,110 --> 02:23:07,310
everybody who came in over $50 in our

4119
02:23:07,310 --> 02:23:07,890
second segment.

4120
02:23:08,130 --> 02:23:10,370
Once again, those credits are for a lifetime.

4121
02:23:10,530 --> 02:23:12,570
You all become a producer today.

4122
02:23:12,810 --> 02:23:14,090
Our formula is this.

4123
02:23:14,890 --> 02:23:17,190
We go out, we hit people in the

4124
02:23:17,190 --> 02:23:17,390
mouth.

4125
02:23:24,510 --> 02:23:25,010
Order.

4126
02:23:30,330 --> 02:23:30,830
Misfire.

4127
02:23:31,250 --> 02:23:31,750
Misfire.

4128
02:23:31,850 --> 02:23:33,210
Donald Trump, don't trust China.

4129
02:23:33,430 --> 02:23:34,330
China is asshole.

4130
02:23:34,690 --> 02:23:36,030
That's what was supposed to be in there.

4131
02:23:36,230 --> 02:23:36,730
Misfire.

4132
02:23:36,930 --> 02:23:37,370
Misfire.

4133
02:23:38,170 --> 02:23:39,870
I have a clip that I'd like to

4134
02:23:39,870 --> 02:23:40,190
play.

4135
02:23:40,370 --> 02:23:40,730
OK.

4136
02:23:41,350 --> 02:23:42,590
Because I don't know what it is.

4137
02:23:42,870 --> 02:23:44,290
No, that's always fun.

4138
02:23:44,430 --> 02:23:45,750
This is like a potluck.

4139
02:23:46,410 --> 02:23:47,830
It's total potluck.

4140
02:23:48,510 --> 02:23:51,090
This is the OSP good news clip.

4141
02:23:51,850 --> 02:23:52,310
Hmm.

4142
02:23:53,130 --> 02:23:54,470
The good news is that there is no

4143
02:23:54,470 --> 02:23:55,370
more bad news.

4144
02:23:55,730 --> 02:23:56,050
Goodbye.

4145
02:23:57,010 --> 02:23:58,890
That was probably meant to be an ISO,

4146
02:23:59,050 --> 02:24:00,010
but you mistook it.

4147
02:24:00,250 --> 02:24:00,970
That's what it was.

4148
02:24:01,230 --> 02:24:01,610
OSP.

4149
02:24:01,850 --> 02:24:03,090
It's just like ISO.

4150
02:24:03,450 --> 02:24:04,330
I-S-O.

4151
02:24:04,470 --> 02:24:05,930
I is next to the O.

4152
02:24:06,410 --> 02:24:07,110
You got the S.

4153
02:24:07,110 --> 02:24:07,780
Yeah, it was...

4154
02:24:08,350 --> 02:24:09,890
Touch typing doesn't work.

4155
02:24:10,030 --> 02:24:12,710
Literally, I, O, and P are all together

4156
02:24:12,710 --> 02:24:13,490
on the keyboard.

4157
02:24:14,370 --> 02:24:14,470
Wow.

4158
02:24:14,750 --> 02:24:15,210
Wow.

4159
02:24:15,550 --> 02:24:15,890
Wow.

4160
02:24:15,970 --> 02:24:17,130
Now it makes sense.

4161
02:24:17,290 --> 02:24:18,990
I was looking at my ISOs.

4162
02:24:19,010 --> 02:24:20,710
I thought I had three ISOs.

4163
02:24:22,010 --> 02:24:23,190
That's really bad.

4164
02:24:23,210 --> 02:24:23,770
There it is.

4165
02:24:23,930 --> 02:24:24,790
That's really bad.

4166
02:24:24,930 --> 02:24:26,330
Hey, we need to do a little update

4167
02:24:26,330 --> 02:24:30,630
because, as you know, the quaddemic is upon

4168
02:24:30,630 --> 02:24:31,090
us.

4169
02:24:31,470 --> 02:24:33,410
We've got everything going.

4170
02:24:33,850 --> 02:24:37,010
The quaddemic is a growing concern in much

4171
02:24:37,010 --> 02:24:39,030
of the country here in Southern California.

4172
02:24:39,270 --> 02:24:42,350
The mask mandate at most hospitals never went

4173
02:24:42,350 --> 02:24:46,230
away after the pandemic, but more mandates are

4174
02:24:46,230 --> 02:24:50,090
returning due to a surge in respiratory illnesses.

4175
02:24:50,090 --> 02:24:53,030
Medical experts had predicted it due to the

4176
02:24:53,030 --> 02:24:56,770
holiday season, with millions of Americans mixing and

4177
02:24:56,770 --> 02:24:59,670
mingling at airports and family gatherings.

4178
02:24:59,990 --> 02:25:03,530
And now further spread is expected as millions

4179
02:25:03,530 --> 02:25:05,350
head back to work and school.

4180
02:25:05,870 --> 02:25:08,990
Hospitalizations are up sharply in major cities, including

4181
02:25:08,990 --> 02:25:11,410
Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago.

4182
02:25:11,950 --> 02:25:15,650
Health officials are advising the immunocompromised to mask

4183
02:25:15,650 --> 02:25:17,710
in public to prevent illness.

4184
02:25:17,710 --> 02:25:21,130
In Wisconsin, a major health care group is

4185
02:25:21,130 --> 02:25:24,830
reinstating a mask mandate beginning next week.

4186
02:25:25,210 --> 02:25:29,090
The quaddemic means the threat of flu, COVID,

4187
02:25:29,510 --> 02:25:33,330
RSV, and neurovirus, which is commonly known as

4188
02:25:33,330 --> 02:25:34,030
stomach flu.

4189
02:25:34,270 --> 02:25:36,510
That's been rampant in many communities.

4190
02:25:36,710 --> 02:25:39,390
And for most, stomach flu means a very

4191
02:25:39,390 --> 02:25:41,250
unpleasant 48 hours.

4192
02:25:41,270 --> 02:25:42,150
Did she say neuro?

4193
02:25:42,290 --> 02:25:42,630
Let me hear.

4194
02:25:42,830 --> 02:25:45,230
Mask mandate beginning next week.

4195
02:25:45,230 --> 02:25:49,570
The quaddemic means the threat of flu, COVID,

4196
02:25:49,930 --> 02:25:51,890
RSV, and neurovirus.

4197
02:25:52,510 --> 02:25:53,710
What a dope.

4198
02:25:54,290 --> 02:25:55,430
It's noro.

4199
02:25:56,290 --> 02:25:56,550
Yeah.

4200
02:25:57,010 --> 02:25:58,270
Commonly known as neuro.

4201
02:25:58,790 --> 02:25:58,970
Neuro.

4202
02:25:59,710 --> 02:26:00,550
That's good.

4203
02:26:01,330 --> 02:26:01,930
Of course.

4204
02:26:01,970 --> 02:26:03,390
Well, they haven't slipped that other one and

4205
02:26:03,390 --> 02:26:04,650
they don't know what to do.

4206
02:26:05,030 --> 02:26:05,530
Which one?

4207
02:26:06,110 --> 02:26:10,250
That one that knew that phony baloney pneumonia.

4208
02:26:10,710 --> 02:26:11,270
HMPV.

4209
02:26:11,850 --> 02:26:12,110
That one.

4210
02:26:12,130 --> 02:26:12,550
Yeah, that one.

4211
02:26:12,550 --> 02:26:14,730
But I will tell you, there are young

4212
02:26:14,730 --> 02:26:17,710
people who are in the hospital with severe

4213
02:26:17,710 --> 02:26:18,210
pneumonia.

4214
02:26:19,450 --> 02:26:20,570
It's probably from that.

4215
02:26:21,150 --> 02:26:21,630
I'm sorry?

4216
02:26:22,190 --> 02:26:23,290
It's probably from that.

4217
02:26:24,890 --> 02:26:25,770
From HMPV?

4218
02:26:25,870 --> 02:26:26,390
It could be.

4219
02:26:26,650 --> 02:26:27,090
It could be.

4220
02:26:28,630 --> 02:26:29,870
It's not good.

4221
02:26:30,090 --> 02:26:31,250
It's really, it's not good.

4222
02:26:32,090 --> 02:26:33,070
What do I have here?

4223
02:26:33,130 --> 02:26:33,410
I had...

4224
02:26:35,170 --> 02:26:38,390
I have a funny virus, a vax clip.

4225
02:26:38,530 --> 02:26:39,470
Well, I got a bird flu.

4226
02:26:39,590 --> 02:26:40,330
I got a bird flu.

4227
02:26:40,390 --> 02:26:41,250
We got to do bird flu.

4228
02:26:41,250 --> 02:26:44,430
Because, you know, we've had the first death

4229
02:26:44,430 --> 02:26:45,350
from the bird flu.

4230
02:26:45,530 --> 02:26:48,190
There's some growing concerns over bird flu this

4231
02:26:48,190 --> 02:26:48,410
morning.

4232
02:26:48,510 --> 02:26:52,110
Health officials in Louisiana now reporting the first

4233
02:26:52,110 --> 02:26:54,450
known human death from that virus.

4234
02:26:55,650 --> 02:26:57,650
Let's bring in NBC News medical contributor, Dr.

4235
02:26:57,750 --> 02:26:58,190
John Torres.

4236
02:26:58,830 --> 02:27:01,550
Dr. John, let's talk about this specific case

4237
02:27:01,550 --> 02:27:02,570
down in Louisiana.

4238
02:27:02,710 --> 02:27:03,610
What more do we know about it?

4239
02:27:03,630 --> 02:27:04,810
And that's a concerning thing is the first

4240
02:27:04,810 --> 02:27:06,410
human death here in the United States from

4241
02:27:06,410 --> 02:27:06,810
bird flu.

4242
02:27:07,050 --> 02:27:08,690
He was over the age of 65, had

4243
02:27:08,690 --> 02:27:12,570
other underlying medical conditions, which is one of

4244
02:27:12,570 --> 02:27:13,570
those things that we look at when we

4245
02:27:13,570 --> 02:27:14,870
look at other conditions as well.

4246
02:27:15,250 --> 02:27:16,390
And on top of that, he had severe

4247
02:27:16,390 --> 02:27:18,270
respiratory illness, had been in the hospital since

4248
02:27:18,270 --> 02:27:18,710
December.

4249
02:27:18,850 --> 02:27:20,670
And unfortunately, he passed away at this point.

4250
02:27:20,790 --> 02:27:22,010
Talk about the trajectory.

4251
02:27:22,270 --> 02:27:24,330
I mean, this is something that officials are

4252
02:27:24,330 --> 02:27:26,750
watching very closely, but we haven't crossed that

4253
02:27:26,750 --> 02:27:28,810
threshold of human to human.

4254
02:27:28,970 --> 02:27:30,330
Well, it's multiple stages.

4255
02:27:30,430 --> 02:27:31,650
You see, it's a trajectory.

4256
02:27:31,950 --> 02:27:32,970
We haven't quite...

4257
02:27:32,970 --> 02:27:35,590
Unfortunately, we still don't have human to human.

4258
02:27:35,630 --> 02:27:36,850
We really want it.

4259
02:27:36,910 --> 02:27:37,570
What are the steps?

4260
02:27:37,850 --> 02:27:39,210
How do we get there, doctor?

4261
02:27:40,050 --> 02:27:40,450
Contagion.

4262
02:27:40,450 --> 02:27:40,890
Exactly.

4263
02:27:40,990 --> 02:27:42,490
And there's four stages, basically, if you think

4264
02:27:42,490 --> 02:27:42,750
about it.

4265
02:27:42,810 --> 02:27:44,150
There's bird to bird, which is stage one.

4266
02:27:44,210 --> 02:27:45,750
Stage two is bird to other animals.

4267
02:27:46,090 --> 02:27:47,070
Dairy cows, for example.

4268
02:27:47,470 --> 02:27:49,630
Stage three is animals to humans.

4269
02:27:49,730 --> 02:27:51,010
And that's where we are right now in

4270
02:27:51,010 --> 02:27:52,930
those 66 cases here in the United States.

4271
02:27:52,950 --> 02:27:53,430
We're excited.

4272
02:27:53,590 --> 02:27:54,690
In cases worldwide as well.

4273
02:27:55,090 --> 02:27:56,210
And the one we get concerned with is

4274
02:27:56,210 --> 02:27:57,930
when it starts going animal to human.

4275
02:27:57,990 --> 02:27:58,650
That's stage four.

4276
02:27:58,870 --> 02:27:59,870
I mean, sorry, human to human.

4277
02:28:00,150 --> 02:28:00,410
Stage four.

4278
02:28:00,570 --> 02:28:01,990
We haven't gotten to that stage yet.

4279
02:28:02,130 --> 02:28:03,650
And that's the stage you're keeping a close

4280
02:28:03,650 --> 02:28:03,870
eye.

4281
02:28:04,150 --> 02:28:06,550
Although there were mutations in this patient here,

4282
02:28:06,550 --> 02:28:09,210
that could make it more susceptible to human

4283
02:28:09,210 --> 02:28:10,130
to human transmission.

4284
02:28:10,470 --> 02:28:11,610
But we haven't seen that yet.

4285
02:28:11,830 --> 02:28:12,830
We have mutations.

4286
02:28:13,030 --> 02:28:13,810
We have mutations.

4287
02:28:14,010 --> 02:28:16,510
Now, what is always the follow up question

4288
02:28:16,510 --> 02:28:17,490
to these reports?

4289
02:28:18,830 --> 02:28:19,550
Well, it should be.

4290
02:28:19,670 --> 02:28:20,830
Will a vax help?

4291
02:28:21,070 --> 02:28:21,270
No.

4292
02:28:21,830 --> 02:28:23,790
Is there any vax on the horizon?

4293
02:28:24,050 --> 02:28:24,570
No, no.

4294
02:28:24,670 --> 02:28:25,770
That's not the follow up.

4295
02:28:25,830 --> 02:28:28,310
The follow up question is always, should we

4296
02:28:28,310 --> 02:28:28,990
be concerned?

4297
02:28:29,710 --> 02:28:31,070
Should we be afraid?

4298
02:28:31,610 --> 02:28:32,770
Should we be worried?

4299
02:28:33,110 --> 02:28:34,710
Well, I thought that wasn't even a question.

4300
02:28:34,830 --> 02:28:35,710
It's something that's assumed.

4301
02:28:35,710 --> 02:28:37,230
We should be right.

4302
02:28:37,430 --> 02:28:39,230
We should be scared out of our wits.

4303
02:28:40,470 --> 02:28:42,510
People are watching this and thinking, oh, I'm

4304
02:28:42,510 --> 02:28:43,550
a little afraid of that.

4305
02:28:43,690 --> 02:28:44,390
Should they be?

4306
02:28:44,550 --> 02:28:46,370
And number two, like, what are the symptoms

4307
02:28:46,370 --> 02:28:47,110
for bird flow?

4308
02:28:47,210 --> 02:28:48,970
And right now, the risk is low, according

4309
02:28:48,970 --> 02:28:50,870
to the CDC, the World Health Organization, all

4310
02:28:50,870 --> 02:28:51,390
the experts.

4311
02:28:51,490 --> 02:28:52,190
And so it is low.

4312
02:28:52,230 --> 02:28:53,250
But you do want to be concerned.

4313
02:28:53,550 --> 02:28:56,050
This person in Louisiana got it from backyard

4314
02:28:56,050 --> 02:28:58,430
poultry, backyard, backyard wild birds.

4315
02:28:58,430 --> 02:28:59,690
He came in contact with us.

4316
02:28:59,690 --> 02:29:00,370
You want to be careful.

4317
02:29:00,630 --> 02:29:02,630
Anytime you're around dead animals, do not handle

4318
02:29:02,630 --> 02:29:02,890
them.

4319
02:29:03,070 --> 02:29:04,370
If they're sick, do not handle them.

4320
02:29:04,370 --> 02:29:05,870
That's somebody who knows what they're doing.

4321
02:29:06,170 --> 02:29:08,850
Make sure you have safe food practices, eggs,

4322
02:29:08,970 --> 02:29:09,990
meat, those types of things.

4323
02:29:10,490 --> 02:29:12,230
Don't drink unpasteurized dairy products.

4324
02:29:12,370 --> 02:29:13,310
I know there's some people that are very

4325
02:29:13,310 --> 02:29:15,050
big fans of that, but don't drink because

4326
02:29:15,050 --> 02:29:15,570
of bird flu.

4327
02:29:15,990 --> 02:29:17,010
And then make sure you get your flu

4328
02:29:17,010 --> 02:29:18,810
shot, because if you get a combination of

4329
02:29:18,810 --> 02:29:20,610
human flu and bird flu at the same

4330
02:29:20,610 --> 02:29:22,190
time, that makes it more likely it could

4331
02:29:22,190 --> 02:29:24,030
mutate into that human to human transmission.

4332
02:29:24,490 --> 02:29:25,350
Don't want that to happen.

4333
02:29:25,550 --> 02:29:25,910
Really?

4334
02:29:26,070 --> 02:29:27,490
What kind of science is this?

4335
02:29:27,510 --> 02:29:30,130
If you get human flu and bird flu,

4336
02:29:30,490 --> 02:29:33,330
that could mutate in your body.

4337
02:29:33,330 --> 02:29:35,110
And then you become Mary.

4338
02:29:35,650 --> 02:29:41,410
These people, it's just wasting airtime, valuable airtime

4339
02:29:41,410 --> 02:29:42,890
on nonsense.

4340
02:29:43,110 --> 02:29:46,350
But wait, what does bird flu cause?

4341
02:29:46,410 --> 02:29:47,570
What do you get with bird flu?

4342
02:29:48,090 --> 02:29:50,670
You get not enough eggs.com.

4343
02:29:50,730 --> 02:29:53,870
This morning, shoppers are scrambling to find store

4344
02:29:53,870 --> 02:29:55,850
shelves stocked with eggs.

4345
02:29:55,930 --> 02:29:58,190
Rising cases of the bird flu are forcing

4346
02:29:58,190 --> 02:30:02,370
egg suppliers to cut production, causing shortages nationwide

4347
02:30:02,370 --> 02:30:04,690
and skyrocketing prices.

4348
02:30:04,750 --> 02:30:07,110
Government data shows egg prices are up nearly

4349
02:30:07,110 --> 02:30:09,270
38% in the past year.

4350
02:30:09,610 --> 02:30:12,330
Prices spiking 8% just in November ahead

4351
02:30:12,330 --> 02:30:14,610
of the high demand holiday baking season.

4352
02:30:14,790 --> 02:30:16,950
On average, a dozen eggs will cost you

4353
02:30:16,950 --> 02:30:21,270
$3.65 now compared to $2.14 one

4354
02:30:21,270 --> 02:30:23,790
year ago, with prices cheapest in the South

4355
02:30:23,790 --> 02:30:27,150
averaging $3.40 and most expensive on the

4356
02:30:27,150 --> 02:30:30,650
West Coast at $4.20. For retailers buying

4357
02:30:30,650 --> 02:30:34,190
eggs wholesale in California, a carton is nearly

4358
02:30:34,190 --> 02:30:34,670
$9.

4359
02:30:35,750 --> 02:30:38,790
Now we get cartons of 18.

4360
02:30:39,170 --> 02:30:41,390
What are the eggs cost with you in

4361
02:30:41,390 --> 02:30:42,210
California there?

4362
02:30:42,950 --> 02:30:44,070
It depends on where you get them.

4363
02:30:44,110 --> 02:30:45,670
You go to Costco and you want the

4364
02:30:45,670 --> 02:30:47,070
high-end eggs or you get the regular

4365
02:30:47,070 --> 02:30:49,990
eggs or you want crappy eggs.

4366
02:30:50,290 --> 02:30:51,910
No, we want good eggs.

4367
02:30:52,410 --> 02:30:54,710
A good egg is $8 a carton for

4368
02:30:54,710 --> 02:30:55,090
12.

4369
02:30:55,190 --> 02:30:56,850
Oh, we have $8 for 18.

4370
02:30:58,650 --> 02:30:59,390
It's expensive.

4371
02:30:59,410 --> 02:31:00,770
Okay, you get six extra eggs.

4372
02:31:01,190 --> 02:31:01,790
That's right.

4373
02:31:02,970 --> 02:31:03,690
Well, it's typical.

4374
02:31:03,870 --> 02:31:05,530
We get ripped off out here for some

4375
02:31:05,530 --> 02:31:10,330
reason, even though we're the agricultural state, California.

4376
02:31:10,910 --> 02:31:12,410
We got birds and chickens.

4377
02:31:12,530 --> 02:31:13,750
We get the Petaluma chickens.

4378
02:31:13,970 --> 02:31:16,950
We gross everything, but for some reason, everything

4379
02:31:16,950 --> 02:31:18,710
costs more here because of regulations.

4380
02:31:19,510 --> 02:31:20,430
I get my eggs.

4381
02:31:20,610 --> 02:31:22,270
What I pay for the highest quality eggs

4382
02:31:22,270 --> 02:31:22,990
is nothing.

4383
02:31:23,350 --> 02:31:24,610
Jay has a bunch of chickens.

4384
02:31:24,750 --> 02:31:24,990
Right.

4385
02:31:24,990 --> 02:31:27,350
They can't keep up with eating these eggs.

4386
02:31:27,470 --> 02:31:28,210
They have to give them away.

4387
02:31:28,330 --> 02:31:29,590
So I get like a half a dozen

4388
02:31:29,590 --> 02:31:31,130
eggs for free every week.

4389
02:31:31,470 --> 02:31:31,610
Wait a minute.

4390
02:31:31,730 --> 02:31:33,030
She has too many eggs.

4391
02:31:33,290 --> 02:31:35,910
Have you considered giving her the gift of

4392
02:31:35,910 --> 02:31:37,630
too many eggs.com?

4393
02:31:38,030 --> 02:31:40,110
Just saying, it's a great book if she

4394
02:31:40,110 --> 02:31:41,630
has too many eggs.

4395
02:31:41,810 --> 02:31:42,250
That's right.

4396
02:31:42,830 --> 02:31:44,230
And she has to be careful.

4397
02:31:44,750 --> 02:31:46,090
They are backyard flock.

4398
02:31:46,510 --> 02:31:48,290
So if one dies, do not pet it.

4399
02:31:49,610 --> 02:31:51,730
You know, the thing is talking about plugs,

4400
02:31:51,810 --> 02:31:52,790
I have to do this.

4401
02:31:54,470 --> 02:31:57,350
Horowitz says to me, you know, our numbers

4402
02:31:57,350 --> 02:31:57,950
are down.

4403
02:31:58,050 --> 02:31:59,610
Can you plug DHM plug?

4404
02:31:59,750 --> 02:32:02,470
Because we're always plugging the no agenda show,

4405
02:32:02,650 --> 02:32:03,050
as you know.

4406
02:32:03,250 --> 02:32:03,470
That's right.

4407
02:32:03,570 --> 02:32:03,950
That's true.

4408
02:32:04,010 --> 02:32:06,530
Every single DHM plug show has a plug

4409
02:32:06,530 --> 02:32:07,250
for no agenda.

4410
02:32:07,910 --> 02:32:09,590
So DHM plug, which is a stock market

4411
02:32:09,590 --> 02:32:11,950
show, which we have great tips, even though

4412
02:32:11,950 --> 02:32:15,530
they're illegal, you know, they're not meant to

4413
02:32:15,530 --> 02:32:16,530
be tips, but they are.

4414
02:32:16,690 --> 02:32:17,350
What do you mean?

4415
02:32:17,430 --> 02:32:18,050
They're illegal.

4416
02:32:18,330 --> 02:32:20,770
You can't go off telling people what stocks

4417
02:32:20,770 --> 02:32:21,170
to buy.

4418
02:32:21,210 --> 02:32:22,190
You never say that.

4419
02:32:22,850 --> 02:32:24,930
Yeah, there's a disclaimer at the very end.

4420
02:32:25,010 --> 02:32:26,090
You actually did one of them.

4421
02:32:26,210 --> 02:32:27,750
We don't use yours, but we use that.

4422
02:32:28,290 --> 02:32:30,890
No, mine is on the Disciplined Investor podcast,

4423
02:32:31,170 --> 02:32:33,450
which is another great podcast that Horowitz does.

4424
02:32:34,270 --> 02:32:37,310
Yeah, well, he uses another disclaimer on this

4425
02:32:37,310 --> 02:32:37,630
podcast.

4426
02:32:38,190 --> 02:32:38,310
Yeah.

4427
02:32:38,410 --> 02:32:40,870
And then yeah, his Disciplined Investor podcast has

4428
02:32:40,870 --> 02:32:43,490
been around as long as podcasting has existed.

4429
02:32:43,590 --> 02:32:44,490
He's been doing that.

4430
02:32:44,790 --> 02:32:46,510
It's he has been around for a long

4431
02:32:46,510 --> 02:32:46,730
time.

4432
02:32:47,210 --> 02:32:48,490
It's a very good show.

4433
02:32:48,530 --> 02:32:49,630
It's very entertaining.

4434
02:32:51,010 --> 02:32:53,330
It's John in a very different mode.

4435
02:32:54,190 --> 02:32:54,750
You're very different.

4436
02:32:54,810 --> 02:32:56,070
You're very different on that show.

4437
02:32:58,930 --> 02:32:59,990
You realize I'm not funny.

4438
02:33:00,250 --> 02:33:01,070
Is that what you're telling me?

4439
02:33:01,430 --> 02:33:05,110
No, no, like you're funny on this show.

4440
02:33:05,470 --> 02:33:07,090
Please come on.

4441
02:33:08,030 --> 02:33:12,290
I had a thought about that Surgeon General

4442
02:33:12,290 --> 02:33:12,710
report.

4443
02:33:13,490 --> 02:33:14,830
DHMplug.com, everybody.

4444
02:33:15,270 --> 02:33:16,050
DHMplug.com.

4445
02:33:16,710 --> 02:33:18,170
Before you do that, let's play the Vax

4446
02:33:18,170 --> 02:33:18,510
clip.

4447
02:33:18,670 --> 02:33:19,670
Oh, you got a Vax clip?

4448
02:33:19,670 --> 02:33:21,310
Yeah, this is Vax efficacy.

4449
02:33:21,650 --> 02:33:23,130
This is a bull crap clip.

4450
02:33:23,490 --> 02:33:25,530
This is part of the, in fact, the

4451
02:33:25,530 --> 02:33:28,030
clips you played also about the prices of

4452
02:33:28,030 --> 02:33:29,470
eggs is trying to down.

4453
02:33:29,710 --> 02:33:31,910
I think this whole egg shortage thing is

4454
02:33:31,910 --> 02:33:34,450
just another attempt to downplay the fact that

4455
02:33:34,450 --> 02:33:37,130
all these prices increased under the Biden administration.

4456
02:33:37,250 --> 02:33:38,290
They're looking for any reason.

4457
02:33:39,010 --> 02:33:41,470
Yeah, but Costco literally is out of eggs

4458
02:33:41,470 --> 02:33:42,530
in San Antonio.

4459
02:33:42,790 --> 02:33:43,410
No eggs.

4460
02:33:43,710 --> 02:33:44,410
They got no eggs.

4461
02:33:44,410 --> 02:33:45,730
I went to Costco the other day and

4462
02:33:45,730 --> 02:33:47,810
they had eggs, but they didn't have the

4463
02:33:47,810 --> 02:33:48,430
good eggs.

4464
02:33:48,430 --> 02:33:52,270
Well, Tina couldn't find any eggs at Costco.

4465
02:33:52,450 --> 02:33:53,990
Well, Costco's got to get it together.

4466
02:33:54,530 --> 02:33:57,250
The COVID and flu vaccine lasts for months

4467
02:33:57,250 --> 02:34:00,570
while others like the measles vaccine offer protection

4468
02:34:00,570 --> 02:34:01,570
for life.

4469
02:34:02,110 --> 02:34:02,410
Why?

4470
02:34:02,850 --> 02:34:03,110
Why?

4471
02:34:03,410 --> 02:34:03,870
Why?

4472
02:34:04,510 --> 02:34:06,930
What is this?

4473
02:34:07,050 --> 02:34:08,450
Why is everybody doing that?

4474
02:34:08,530 --> 02:34:08,830
Why?

4475
02:34:09,830 --> 02:34:10,890
I'm serious.

4476
02:34:11,390 --> 02:34:11,790
This is.

4477
02:34:11,850 --> 02:34:12,590
I don't know.

4478
02:34:12,750 --> 02:34:14,530
Horowitz does it too, I might add.

4479
02:34:15,410 --> 02:34:17,150
It's a, it's a plague.

4480
02:34:18,050 --> 02:34:19,870
This is the why plague.

4481
02:34:20,130 --> 02:34:21,190
This is something new.

4482
02:34:21,330 --> 02:34:23,210
This is something new where people are just,

4483
02:34:23,670 --> 02:34:24,630
they just, why?

4484
02:34:25,070 --> 02:34:26,870
And they answer their own question.

4485
02:34:27,010 --> 02:34:30,770
In fact, I think what people should do

4486
02:34:30,770 --> 02:34:32,870
now is say, here, I'll let me listen

4487
02:34:32,870 --> 02:34:33,330
to this guy here.

4488
02:34:33,390 --> 02:34:36,210
The COVID and flu vaccine lasts for months

4489
02:34:36,210 --> 02:34:39,490
while others like the measles vaccine offer protection

4490
02:34:39,490 --> 02:34:40,510
for life.

4491
02:34:40,950 --> 02:34:41,150
Why?

4492
02:34:41,990 --> 02:34:43,190
And then you should follow it up by

4493
02:34:43,190 --> 02:34:44,810
saying, that's a great question.

4494
02:34:45,530 --> 02:34:45,830
Haha.

4495
02:34:47,290 --> 02:34:48,750
I want people to start.

4496
02:34:48,890 --> 02:34:49,190
Why?

4497
02:34:49,330 --> 02:34:50,210
That's a great question.

4498
02:34:50,490 --> 02:34:52,490
That would actually fit in with the, with

4499
02:34:52,490 --> 02:34:52,930
the model.

4500
02:34:53,030 --> 02:34:53,690
You could do that.

4501
02:34:53,810 --> 02:34:54,170
Why?

4502
02:34:54,350 --> 02:34:55,430
Because it's a great question.

4503
02:34:55,670 --> 02:34:56,090
Great question.

4504
02:34:56,350 --> 02:34:58,530
Measles vaccine offer protection for life.

4505
02:34:59,090 --> 02:34:59,390
Why?

4506
02:34:59,830 --> 02:35:00,110
Why?

4507
02:35:00,530 --> 02:35:00,830
Why?

4508
02:35:01,130 --> 02:35:03,110
NPR's Emily Kwong reports on a new discovery

4509
02:35:03,110 --> 02:35:06,030
that shed light, shed light on vaccine durability.

4510
02:35:06,270 --> 02:35:08,770
Vaccines are powerful because they train your immune

4511
02:35:08,770 --> 02:35:10,370
system for viral battle.

4512
02:35:10,370 --> 02:35:13,550
That includes encouraging the creation of antibodies, which

4513
02:35:13,550 --> 02:35:16,010
act like security guards to recognize and fight

4514
02:35:16,010 --> 02:35:16,350
germs.

4515
02:35:16,890 --> 02:35:19,250
Now, scientists at Stanford Medicine have found an

4516
02:35:19,250 --> 02:35:20,190
ally in that fight.

4517
02:35:20,650 --> 02:35:21,190
Megakaryocytes.

4518
02:35:21,630 --> 02:35:24,410
Found in bone marrow, more active megakaryocytes appear

4519
02:35:24,410 --> 02:35:26,370
to create a more nurturing environment for those

4520
02:35:26,370 --> 02:35:26,710
antibodies.

4521
02:35:27,430 --> 02:35:30,730
So, vaccines which activate megakaryocytes may confer longer

4522
02:35:30,730 --> 02:35:31,290
immunity.

4523
02:35:31,930 --> 02:35:34,030
Bali Palendran was lead author on the paper

4524
02:35:34,030 --> 02:35:36,670
in Nature Immunology, and he says this discovery

4525
02:35:36,670 --> 02:35:37,750
is important because.

4526
02:35:37,750 --> 02:35:40,030
It's not a question of if the next

4527
02:35:40,030 --> 02:35:42,710
pandemic will emerge, it's a question of when.

4528
02:35:43,050 --> 02:35:44,170
It's a question of when.

4529
02:35:44,290 --> 02:35:46,850
It's a question of when the next pandemic

4530
02:35:46,850 --> 02:35:47,810
is going to emerge.

4531
02:35:48,090 --> 02:35:50,810
And Palendran wants this basic research to lead

4532
02:35:50,810 --> 02:35:52,890
to better, longer lasting vaccines.

4533
02:35:53,510 --> 02:35:55,210
For NPR News, I'm Emily Kwong.

4534
02:35:57,970 --> 02:35:59,630
This also doesn't make sense.

4535
02:35:59,790 --> 02:36:02,430
They say that the measles vaccine lasts a

4536
02:36:02,430 --> 02:36:02,790
lifetime.

4537
02:36:02,950 --> 02:36:03,750
That's not true.

4538
02:36:04,770 --> 02:36:06,550
They're always telling people to get a top

4539
02:36:06,550 --> 02:36:06,790
up.

4540
02:36:08,170 --> 02:36:10,390
Well, you mean a booster, top down.

4541
02:36:10,950 --> 02:36:12,530
Nobody calls it a top up.

4542
02:36:12,710 --> 02:36:13,090
I do.

4543
02:36:13,210 --> 02:36:14,310
I call it a top up.

4544
02:36:14,430 --> 02:36:14,870
I like that.

4545
02:36:14,950 --> 02:36:16,970
But here's what I have to ask.

4546
02:36:17,730 --> 02:36:19,510
So, this research comes out and it's like,

4547
02:36:19,590 --> 02:36:20,150
well, why?

4548
02:36:20,390 --> 02:36:22,870
In other words, this starts with the premise,

4549
02:36:23,190 --> 02:36:24,810
why don't these vaccines work?

4550
02:36:25,150 --> 02:36:25,270
Yeah.

4551
02:36:26,290 --> 02:36:27,670
You know, you get the shot and three

4552
02:36:27,670 --> 02:36:28,790
months later, you need a booster.

4553
02:36:29,090 --> 02:36:30,290
Yeah, because they're not vaccines.

4554
02:36:30,290 --> 02:36:33,330
So, they come up with this cockamamie bull

4555
02:36:33,330 --> 02:36:35,590
crap, I think is bull crap, because when

4556
02:36:35,590 --> 02:36:36,590
was the first vaccine?

4557
02:36:36,590 --> 02:36:39,970
Can you come close to the date of

4558
02:36:39,970 --> 02:36:41,070
the original vaccine?

4559
02:36:42,270 --> 02:36:43,190
What year it was?

4560
02:36:43,530 --> 02:36:44,810
This was.

4561
02:36:45,190 --> 02:36:45,970
Don't look it up.

4562
02:36:46,010 --> 02:36:46,910
No, I'm not looking it up.

4563
02:36:47,050 --> 02:36:49,470
I want to say it was like 1790

4564
02:36:49,470 --> 02:36:50,150
or something.

4565
02:36:51,230 --> 02:36:51,630
1796.

4566
02:36:52,410 --> 02:36:53,890
No, I did not look it up.

4567
02:36:54,030 --> 02:36:55,130
I don't want to accuse me.

4568
02:36:55,450 --> 02:36:55,770
Well, you nailed it.

4569
02:36:56,450 --> 02:36:56,850
1796.

4570
02:36:57,430 --> 02:37:07,410
So, in 1796, till today, this

4571
02:37:07,410 --> 02:37:10,550
little tidbit of information has been undiscovered.

4572
02:37:10,650 --> 02:37:11,410
Bull crap.

4573
02:37:13,150 --> 02:37:14,630
All of a sudden we got something new.

4574
02:37:15,690 --> 02:37:19,150
Well, that's like to the surgeon general warned

4575
02:37:19,150 --> 02:37:22,270
us that any alcohol use will cause cancer.

4576
02:37:22,910 --> 02:37:23,290
Any.

4577
02:37:23,910 --> 02:37:25,870
There's no such thing as moderation.

4578
02:37:26,420 --> 02:37:26,790
Any.

4579
02:37:27,750 --> 02:37:29,090
You know what I think is going to

4580
02:37:29,090 --> 02:37:29,350
happen?

4581
02:37:29,950 --> 02:37:30,990
Two things.

4582
02:37:31,250 --> 02:37:35,150
One, a report is going to drop coming

4583
02:37:35,150 --> 02:37:35,890
up soon.

4584
02:37:36,590 --> 02:37:38,710
Massive skyrocketing cancer.

4585
02:37:40,330 --> 02:37:42,610
Yeah, there's a lot of evidence that that

4586
02:37:42,610 --> 02:37:43,210
could happen.

4587
02:37:44,130 --> 02:37:46,310
Two, the cure.

4588
02:37:47,650 --> 02:37:49,090
What is the cure?

4589
02:37:51,130 --> 02:37:51,870
Abstinence.

4590
02:37:53,090 --> 02:37:55,690
What helps you abstain?

4591
02:37:58,070 --> 02:37:58,530
Ozempic.

4592
02:37:58,770 --> 02:37:59,530
That's correct.

4593
02:38:01,310 --> 02:38:02,500
Put it in the Red Book.

4594
02:38:03,930 --> 02:38:05,890
You already put it in there, I think.

4595
02:38:06,990 --> 02:38:08,670
Well, but I'm connecting these two for the

4596
02:38:08,670 --> 02:38:09,290
first time.

4597
02:38:10,390 --> 02:38:11,290
They're going to come out.

4598
02:38:11,330 --> 02:38:12,230
It's all connected.

4599
02:38:12,370 --> 02:38:13,950
They do a pretty good job of trying

4600
02:38:13,950 --> 02:38:17,150
to, you know, the people they have, the

4601
02:38:17,150 --> 02:38:19,850
number of people in the State Department and

4602
02:38:19,850 --> 02:38:23,570
at CIA and elsewhere, the number of public

4603
02:38:23,570 --> 02:38:28,190
relations specialists in these organizations is in the

4604
02:38:28,190 --> 02:38:28,950
thousands.

4605
02:38:30,210 --> 02:38:32,430
And they put them together and they write

4606
02:38:32,430 --> 02:38:33,350
books for people.

4607
02:38:33,750 --> 02:38:36,010
They sit down, they strategize.

4608
02:38:36,330 --> 02:38:37,970
They do all the stuff that PR people

4609
02:38:37,970 --> 02:38:38,650
normally do.

4610
02:38:38,750 --> 02:38:40,250
Only they have so many of them.

4611
02:38:40,310 --> 02:38:42,650
They can come up with these grand schemes.

4612
02:38:43,130 --> 02:38:45,030
And that's obviously already been strategized.

4613
02:38:45,170 --> 02:38:49,190
All you're doing is just stating the obvious.

4614
02:38:50,040 --> 02:38:51,870
Well, we know one thing for sure.

4615
02:38:53,190 --> 02:38:56,810
Vaccines do not, repeat, do not cause autism.

4616
02:39:19,190 --> 02:39:21,790
with autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy.

4617
02:39:22,410 --> 02:39:24,350
In a study published in the journal Nature

4618
02:39:24,350 --> 02:39:28,390
Molecular Psychiatry, doctors say this discovery points them

4619
02:39:28,390 --> 02:39:31,570
toward developing treatments to alleviate symptoms of both

4620
02:39:31,570 --> 02:39:34,370
conditions, which can often occur together.

4621
02:39:34,950 --> 02:39:37,650
Previous research has identified the role of Neuropilin

4622
02:39:37,650 --> 02:39:40,670
2, but until now, researchers were not able

4623
02:39:40,670 --> 02:39:43,490
to determine how and why it altered behavior.

4624
02:39:43,670 --> 02:39:45,750
I smell more mRNA coming.

4625
02:39:46,550 --> 02:39:47,270
Yeah.

4626
02:39:47,270 --> 02:39:50,090
Yeah, that and probably, yeah.

4627
02:39:50,210 --> 02:39:52,130
Some gene altering stuff is going to save

4628
02:39:52,130 --> 02:39:52,590
your children.

4629
02:39:53,430 --> 02:39:55,790
And then something that we've been talking about

4630
02:39:55,790 --> 02:39:58,770
since the beginning of this show, ever since

4631
02:39:58,770 --> 02:40:01,410
I read in the book, Legacy of Ashes

4632
02:40:01,410 --> 02:40:05,110
and Uncle Don confirmed it, that the CIA

4633
02:40:05,110 --> 02:40:09,090
or covert operations would put fluoride into an

4634
02:40:09,090 --> 02:40:13,490
enemy's camp water supply to make them docile

4635
02:40:13,490 --> 02:40:15,110
and compliant.

4636
02:40:15,710 --> 02:40:18,770
We've talked about fluoride in our water being

4637
02:40:18,770 --> 02:40:20,830
an undesirable product.

4638
02:40:21,510 --> 02:40:23,070
But of course, we know that this is

4639
02:40:23,070 --> 02:40:26,330
part from, comes, I think, initially from Alcoa.

4640
02:40:26,790 --> 02:40:30,690
It's a byproduct from aluminum production, and they

4641
02:40:30,690 --> 02:40:31,990
needed to do something with it.

4642
02:40:32,090 --> 02:40:33,350
Might as well just put it in the

4643
02:40:33,350 --> 02:40:34,930
water so those slaves can be stupid.

4644
02:40:34,930 --> 02:40:36,010
Yeah, that's where they dilute it.

4645
02:40:36,230 --> 02:40:37,250
And there's new research.

4646
02:40:37,430 --> 02:40:40,210
Tonight, growing questions about whether fluoride in drinking

4647
02:40:40,210 --> 02:40:42,530
water is doing more harm than good.

4648
02:40:42,610 --> 02:40:42,890
No way.

4649
02:40:42,890 --> 02:40:45,750
A report published today in JAMA Pediatrics concludes

4650
02:40:45,750 --> 02:40:49,910
there is a statistically significant association between higher

4651
02:40:49,910 --> 02:40:53,550
fluoride exposure and lower IQ scores in children.

4652
02:40:53,890 --> 02:40:56,090
The study, funded by the National Institutes of

4653
02:40:56,090 --> 02:40:59,930
Health, analyzed existing research conducted outside the United

4654
02:40:59,930 --> 02:41:00,350
States.

4655
02:41:00,710 --> 02:41:03,050
The lead author telling NBC News there is

4656
02:41:03,050 --> 02:41:05,750
concern that pregnant women and children are getting

4657
02:41:05,750 --> 02:41:08,990
fluoride from many sources, including drinking water, and

4658
02:41:08,990 --> 02:41:11,850
that their total fluoride exposure is too high.

4659
02:41:11,850 --> 02:41:14,230
The research is being criticized by many in

4660
02:41:14,230 --> 02:41:15,330
the public health community.

4661
02:41:15,670 --> 02:41:18,090
52 of the 74 studies it looked at

4662
02:41:18,090 --> 02:41:20,610
are rated low quality, according to the authors

4663
02:41:20,610 --> 02:41:21,170
themselves.

4664
02:41:21,550 --> 02:41:24,430
The conclusions, based on fluoride levels, more than

4665
02:41:24,430 --> 02:41:26,950
double what's recommended for drinking water in the

4666
02:41:26,950 --> 02:41:29,890
U.S. The ongoing benefits of community water

4667
02:41:29,890 --> 02:41:33,890
fluoridation at this time strongly outweigh the flawed

4668
02:41:33,890 --> 02:41:37,650
analyses that are presented in this paper that's

4669
02:41:37,650 --> 02:41:38,730
just being published.

4670
02:41:39,050 --> 02:41:40,330
Mr. Roboto.

4671
02:41:40,330 --> 02:41:43,030
So your kids, good news.

4672
02:41:43,170 --> 02:41:45,430
Your kids will have healthy, strong teeth, but

4673
02:41:45,430 --> 02:41:46,530
they'll be retarded.

4674
02:41:46,910 --> 02:41:47,090
Yay!

4675
02:41:47,730 --> 02:41:48,910
Good news, everybody.

4676
02:41:49,090 --> 02:41:50,670
Superior fluoride toothpaste.

4677
02:41:51,110 --> 02:41:52,790
Fluoride has been added to U.S. drinking

4678
02:41:52,790 --> 02:41:53,910
water since the 40s.

4679
02:41:54,050 --> 02:41:56,030
More than 70 percent of Americans get it

4680
02:41:56,030 --> 02:41:56,650
in their taps.

4681
02:41:57,090 --> 02:42:00,490
The CDC, American Dental Association, and American Academy

4682
02:42:00,490 --> 02:42:04,790
of Pediatrics support fluoridating water, citing studies it

4683
02:42:04,790 --> 02:42:07,290
reduces tooth decay by 25 percent.

4684
02:42:07,290 --> 02:42:11,450
Cavities can obviously cause pain and suffering.

4685
02:42:11,810 --> 02:42:13,830
People can get very bad infections.

4686
02:42:14,370 --> 02:42:17,070
Also, many people miss time from school, from

4687
02:42:17,070 --> 02:42:17,670
work.

4688
02:42:18,210 --> 02:42:20,150
The issue is getting growing attention because of

4689
02:42:20,150 --> 02:42:23,070
new research and recent public comments by RFK

4690
02:42:23,070 --> 02:42:26,050
Jr., Donald Trump's choice to lead HHS.

4691
02:42:26,230 --> 02:42:29,970
The Trump White House will advise all U

4692
02:42:29,970 --> 02:42:32,730
.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public

4693
02:42:32,730 --> 02:42:33,090
water.

4694
02:42:33,090 --> 02:42:36,430
In an editorial in JAMA Pediatrics, Dr. Bruce

4695
02:42:36,430 --> 02:42:39,130
Lanphier says today's study shows it is time

4696
02:42:39,130 --> 02:42:41,550
to reassess fluoride in drinking water.

4697
02:42:42,070 --> 02:42:45,970
The conclusions are sufficient to raise serious questions

4698
02:42:46,530 --> 02:42:49,650
about fluoride's toxicity to the developing brain.

4699
02:42:50,090 --> 02:42:51,990
That means we need to pause.

4700
02:42:52,470 --> 02:42:55,430
We need to give ourselves a chance to

4701
02:42:55,430 --> 02:42:57,430
look at this evidence fresh.

4702
02:42:57,430 --> 02:43:01,050
The best part of waking up is fluoride

4703
02:43:01,050 --> 02:43:02,090
in my cup.

4704
02:43:02,390 --> 02:43:02,870
That's right.

4705
02:43:03,870 --> 02:43:05,250
It's the best part of waking up.

4706
02:43:05,730 --> 02:43:08,450
You don't think fluoride could have anything to

4707
02:43:08,450 --> 02:43:09,510
do with autism, do you?

4708
02:43:09,790 --> 02:43:11,290
Since it alters your brain.

4709
02:43:12,630 --> 02:43:14,830
They're going to find out if they can

4710
02:43:14,830 --> 02:43:15,830
get Kennedy in.

4711
02:43:16,490 --> 02:43:17,150
I think.

4712
02:43:18,170 --> 02:43:20,390
Although he could just be a foil.

4713
02:43:21,330 --> 02:43:23,930
Aren't those things supposed to start soon?

4714
02:43:24,090 --> 02:43:24,450
The confirmation hearing?

4715
02:43:24,450 --> 02:43:26,130
Yeah, they're starting I think this next week.

4716
02:43:26,130 --> 02:43:29,070
And I think they claim that Hegseth is

4717
02:43:29,070 --> 02:43:29,470
in.

4718
02:43:30,010 --> 02:43:31,910
They claim that Kennedy is in.

4719
02:43:32,990 --> 02:43:33,430
Oh, really?

4720
02:43:33,870 --> 02:43:35,510
Who's the current thought is?

4721
02:43:35,610 --> 02:43:37,270
Who is the they?

4722
02:43:37,450 --> 02:43:39,850
Who is the people within the people in

4723
02:43:39,850 --> 02:43:42,790
Congress that keep tabs on this stuff?

4724
02:43:43,750 --> 02:43:44,630
I think Ash Patel.

4725
02:43:44,770 --> 02:43:45,410
I don't know.

4726
02:43:45,670 --> 02:43:46,750
And I think the one they're going to

4727
02:43:46,750 --> 02:43:48,050
push back on is Tulsi.

4728
02:43:48,250 --> 02:43:50,290
Yeah, that's oh, nobody wants Tulsi.

4729
02:43:50,410 --> 02:43:51,150
She's bad.

4730
02:43:51,230 --> 02:43:51,830
She's bad.

4731
02:43:51,930 --> 02:43:52,910
She's a Russian spy.

4732
02:43:52,990 --> 02:43:53,790
Didn't you know that?

4733
02:43:54,510 --> 02:43:55,590
That's what I heard.

4734
02:43:55,590 --> 02:43:57,650
She hung out with dictators like Assad.

4735
02:43:57,770 --> 02:43:58,410
She's bad.

4736
02:43:58,590 --> 02:44:00,470
And she's got a weird purple thing in

4737
02:44:00,470 --> 02:44:00,790
her hair.

4738
02:44:00,850 --> 02:44:01,550
She's bad.

4739
02:44:02,670 --> 02:44:04,810
She'd be the best thing for the intelligence

4740
02:44:04,810 --> 02:44:05,390
community.

4741
02:44:05,930 --> 02:44:08,470
Do you know who our current director of

4742
02:44:08,470 --> 02:44:09,750
national intelligence is?

4743
02:44:11,770 --> 02:44:13,450
I can't remember his name.

4744
02:44:13,530 --> 02:44:13,930
I know.

4745
02:44:14,030 --> 02:44:15,750
No, it's not even it's not even a

4746
02:44:15,750 --> 02:44:16,030
he.

4747
02:44:16,510 --> 02:44:17,210
It's a she.

4748
02:44:17,890 --> 02:44:18,810
Avril Haines.

4749
02:44:19,310 --> 02:44:21,130
Oh, yes, I do know this Avril.

4750
02:44:21,130 --> 02:44:27,950
And she was national security director of national

4751
02:44:27,950 --> 02:44:31,130
intelligence under, I think, under Obama.

4752
02:44:33,280 --> 02:44:35,260
And again, under Biden.

4753
02:44:36,380 --> 02:44:38,520
Yeah, Avril Haines.

4754
02:44:38,540 --> 02:44:40,640
And she looks like a dork.

4755
02:44:42,260 --> 02:44:43,920
You should look at her wiki page.

4756
02:44:44,360 --> 02:44:45,360
Yeah, I'm looking at it.

4757
02:44:45,560 --> 02:44:47,700
She's like, what is this woman?

4758
02:44:49,100 --> 02:44:50,720
And Tulsi's no good.

4759
02:44:51,400 --> 02:44:51,900
Of course.

4760
02:44:52,020 --> 02:44:52,340
Oh, yeah.

4761
02:44:52,500 --> 02:44:54,500
Avril Haines looks like she looks like another

4762
02:44:54,500 --> 02:44:55,480
pom-pom girl.

4763
02:44:55,700 --> 02:44:56,180
Wannabe.

4764
02:44:57,800 --> 02:44:58,280
Yeah.

4765
02:44:58,440 --> 02:44:58,820
Wannabe.

4766
02:44:59,080 --> 02:44:59,260
Yeah.

4767
02:44:59,320 --> 02:45:01,380
What's her what is her history?

4768
02:45:01,620 --> 02:45:02,480
Goofball looking.

4769
02:45:02,940 --> 02:45:03,420
Goofball.

4770
02:45:03,540 --> 02:45:04,040
That's it.

4771
02:45:04,200 --> 02:45:04,680
Goofball.

4772
02:45:04,980 --> 02:45:06,460
She's a goofball looking girl.

4773
02:45:06,680 --> 02:45:07,800
Let me see where he's worked.

4774
02:45:07,920 --> 02:45:08,920
It was born in New York.

4775
02:45:09,160 --> 02:45:09,340
Okay.

4776
02:45:09,380 --> 02:45:10,100
What is that?

4777
02:45:10,360 --> 02:45:10,700
Yeah.

4778
02:45:10,820 --> 02:45:12,800
Rutgers grew up Upper West Side.

4779
02:45:12,960 --> 02:45:13,100
Yeah.

4780
02:45:13,900 --> 02:45:14,860
Wait a minute.

4781
02:45:14,880 --> 02:45:16,240
When is she Jewish?

4782
02:45:17,140 --> 02:45:18,380
Oh, that says enough.

4783
02:45:19,280 --> 02:45:21,660
She took up flying lessons in New Jersey.

4784
02:45:22,900 --> 02:45:23,700
She's a pilot.

4785
02:45:23,920 --> 02:45:25,800
Where she met her future husband.

4786
02:45:26,100 --> 02:45:28,560
She went to Hunter College High.

4787
02:45:29,260 --> 02:45:29,640
Yeah.

4788
02:45:29,780 --> 02:45:30,160
Moved to Japan.

4789
02:45:30,160 --> 02:45:30,820
Oh, here we go.

4790
02:45:31,200 --> 02:45:31,880
Starts off.

4791
02:45:32,360 --> 02:45:35,260
Moved to Japan for some unknown reason for

4792
02:45:35,260 --> 02:45:35,620
a year.

4793
02:45:35,760 --> 02:45:36,500
That'll do it.

4794
02:45:36,800 --> 02:45:39,100
Where she was at the Kodokan, an elite

4795
02:45:39,100 --> 02:45:40,780
judo institute.

4796
02:45:41,080 --> 02:45:42,440
Oh, she's a judoka.

4797
02:45:42,440 --> 02:45:44,120
Then she went from there to the University

4798
02:45:44,120 --> 02:45:45,980
of Chicago where she studied physics.

4799
02:45:46,200 --> 02:45:47,500
So she is a nerd.

4800
02:45:48,380 --> 02:45:51,340
She started repairing car engines at a mechanic

4801
02:45:51,340 --> 02:45:52,620
shop in Hyde Park.

4802
02:45:52,820 --> 02:45:54,500
She took up flying lessons in New Jersey.

4803
02:45:54,840 --> 02:45:55,620
She's a tomboy.

4804
02:45:56,300 --> 02:45:57,820
B.S. in physics.

4805
02:45:57,980 --> 02:45:58,700
She's a physicist.

4806
02:45:59,300 --> 02:45:59,900
It's interesting.

4807
02:46:00,340 --> 02:46:01,240
That's a good sign.

4808
02:46:01,540 --> 02:46:04,100
She was also appointed by President Barack Obama

4809
02:46:04,100 --> 02:46:06,860
to be deputy director of the CIA.

4810
02:46:07,320 --> 02:46:08,040
Moved to Baltimore.

4811
02:46:08,300 --> 02:46:10,880
Enrolled in a doctoral student program in physics

4812
02:46:10,880 --> 02:46:13,640
at Johns Hopkins.

4813
02:46:14,160 --> 02:46:16,580
Well, that's a spook city.

4814
02:46:17,980 --> 02:46:18,740
Spook city.

4815
02:46:18,740 --> 02:46:20,420
So that's where she became a spook.

4816
02:46:22,240 --> 02:46:23,320
What else?

4817
02:46:23,820 --> 02:46:24,220
Anyway.

4818
02:46:25,180 --> 02:46:25,560
Yes.

4819
02:46:25,660 --> 02:46:27,260
No, she was the deputy director of the

4820
02:46:27,260 --> 02:46:28,820
CIA by Obama.

4821
02:46:29,140 --> 02:46:33,180
I think because we try to be a

4822
02:46:33,180 --> 02:46:38,860
show for the Gulf of America, we have

4823
02:46:38,860 --> 02:46:41,020
not really covered this well.

4824
02:46:41,320 --> 02:46:43,300
And it comes at the end of another

4825
02:46:43,300 --> 02:46:44,260
broadcast day.

4826
02:46:44,260 --> 02:46:45,640
I think we just need to have a

4827
02:46:45,640 --> 02:46:48,540
quick discussion about Justin Trudeau.

4828
02:46:48,940 --> 02:46:52,260
Tonight, deeply unpopular at home because of soaring

4829
02:46:52,260 --> 02:46:56,120
prices and ridiculed by President-elect Trump, Canada's

4830
02:46:56,120 --> 02:46:58,520
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bowing out.

4831
02:46:58,740 --> 02:47:02,120
I intend to resign as party leader, as

4832
02:47:02,120 --> 02:47:06,420
Prime Minister, after the party selects its next

4833
02:47:06,420 --> 02:47:11,500
leader through a robust nationwide competitive process.

4834
02:47:11,500 --> 02:47:14,220
The son of a popular Prime Minister, Trudeau's

4835
02:47:14,220 --> 02:47:16,840
movie star looks and photogenic young family made

4836
02:47:16,840 --> 02:47:18,360
him an international star.

4837
02:47:18,740 --> 02:47:21,240
In recent years, he was criticized for inflation

4838
02:47:21,240 --> 02:47:21,960
and immigration.

4839
02:47:22,540 --> 02:47:24,860
Three weeks ago, his closest advisor, the deputy

4840
02:47:24,860 --> 02:47:26,280
Prime Minister, resigned.

4841
02:47:26,420 --> 02:47:28,640
And it has become clear to me that

4842
02:47:28,640 --> 02:47:32,460
if I'm having to fight internal battles, I

4843
02:47:32,460 --> 02:47:35,700
cannot be the best option in that election.

4844
02:47:36,220 --> 02:47:38,780
A final blow, tension with President-elect Trump,

4845
02:47:38,780 --> 02:47:41,740
who's threatened Canada with 25 percent tariffs.

4846
02:47:42,340 --> 02:47:44,420
Despite Trudeau rushing to Mar-a-Lago to

4847
02:47:44,420 --> 02:47:47,780
appease him, Trump blamed Canada for fentanyl and

4848
02:47:47,780 --> 02:47:51,640
undocumented immigrants crossing the border, and Canada's trade

4849
02:47:51,640 --> 02:47:54,340
advantage with the U.S., mocking him on

4850
02:47:54,340 --> 02:47:55,940
Truth Social as a governor.

4851
02:47:56,400 --> 02:47:59,180
Posting today, many people in Canada love being

4852
02:47:59,180 --> 02:48:00,440
the 51st state.

4853
02:48:00,820 --> 02:48:03,040
What's the impact of having a leadership crisis

4854
02:48:03,040 --> 02:48:03,600
in Canada?

4855
02:48:03,900 --> 02:48:06,640
I actually think it probably smooths the relationship,

4856
02:48:06,640 --> 02:48:10,760
since clearly Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau were

4857
02:48:10,760 --> 02:48:12,480
not on the same page.

4858
02:48:12,680 --> 02:48:14,680
Trudeau will still be Prime Minister for a

4859
02:48:14,680 --> 02:48:17,520
few months of Trump's presidency, while Canada decides

4860
02:48:17,520 --> 02:48:18,520
how to replace him.

4861
02:48:18,780 --> 02:48:21,760
This is the old Canadian switcheroo.

4862
02:48:21,980 --> 02:48:24,160
Everyone's all happy, like, oh, Trudeau's gone.

4863
02:48:24,260 --> 02:48:25,680
No, no, no, no.

4864
02:48:26,020 --> 02:48:26,940
He's not gone.

4865
02:48:27,020 --> 02:48:27,800
He's not gone.

4866
02:48:28,120 --> 02:48:30,380
The parliament is prorogued.

4867
02:48:31,080 --> 02:48:32,040
Is that the term?

4868
02:48:35,000 --> 02:48:36,180
I've never heard this term.

4869
02:48:36,180 --> 02:48:36,780
Yes.

4870
02:48:37,260 --> 02:48:38,600
That's, yes, we have.

4871
02:48:38,880 --> 02:48:39,320
Prorogued.

4872
02:48:39,380 --> 02:48:40,400
That's the suspension.

4873
02:48:41,000 --> 02:48:42,940
That means they can't do much.

4874
02:48:44,860 --> 02:48:45,260
Prorogued.

4875
02:48:45,280 --> 02:48:46,700
They haven't been able to do much anyway.

4876
02:48:46,940 --> 02:48:48,220
We had that in the UK, too.

4877
02:48:48,660 --> 02:48:50,280
Parliament is prorogued.

4878
02:48:50,660 --> 02:48:52,500
Order is prorogued.

4879
02:48:52,740 --> 02:48:54,660
Until March, end of March.

4880
02:48:55,100 --> 02:48:58,160
And they're going to elect an internal leader.

4881
02:48:59,560 --> 02:49:02,220
So it's not like they get elections.

4882
02:49:02,820 --> 02:49:04,300
They just get another doofus.

4883
02:49:04,360 --> 02:49:05,300
Who do you think they'll choose?

4884
02:49:08,140 --> 02:49:09,580
Well, from the looks of things, they're going

4885
02:49:09,580 --> 02:49:11,380
to have to choose somebody outside of the

4886
02:49:11,380 --> 02:49:12,040
Labour Party.

4887
02:49:12,860 --> 02:49:13,240
No.

4888
02:49:14,460 --> 02:49:16,140
No, you don't do that as a Labour.

4889
02:49:16,140 --> 02:49:17,520
You never do that as a Labour.

4890
02:49:17,620 --> 02:49:19,880
Labour Party's going to choose from inside their

4891
02:49:19,880 --> 02:49:20,360
ranks.

4892
02:49:20,960 --> 02:49:21,920
No, not on Canada.

4893
02:49:22,140 --> 02:49:24,960
Canada's Labour Party's down to hardly anybody.

4894
02:49:25,120 --> 02:49:26,300
It's going to be a dead party.

4895
02:49:26,640 --> 02:49:29,600
Can't, well, it's not like the British Labour

4896
02:49:29,600 --> 02:49:30,060
Party.

4897
02:49:30,120 --> 02:49:31,900
Can't they bring Freeland back?

4898
02:49:33,460 --> 02:49:34,740
I don't know what they're going to do.

4899
02:49:35,500 --> 02:49:36,420
Who can tell?

4900
02:49:36,420 --> 02:49:38,800
And that concludes our discussion on Canada.

4901
02:49:39,820 --> 02:49:40,180
Doug Ford.

4902
02:49:40,420 --> 02:49:40,680
That's it.

4903
02:49:41,680 --> 02:49:42,080
That's all.

4904
02:49:42,200 --> 02:49:43,180
I don't know what he's doing.

4905
02:49:43,560 --> 02:49:43,680
I don't know.

4906
02:49:44,980 --> 02:49:46,640
We're just waiting for him to become the

4907
02:49:46,640 --> 02:49:47,360
next province.

4908
02:49:47,520 --> 02:49:49,120
Let's see what the CBC says.

4909
02:49:49,680 --> 02:49:51,860
As you all know, I am a fighter.

4910
02:49:52,380 --> 02:49:54,260
And I am not someone who backs away

4911
02:49:54,260 --> 02:49:56,100
from a fight, particularly on a...

4912
02:49:56,100 --> 02:49:56,620
Liberal.

4913
02:49:56,900 --> 02:49:58,600
It's Liberal Party, not Labour.

4914
02:49:58,740 --> 02:49:59,780
The Liberal Party.

4915
02:49:59,920 --> 02:50:00,140
Thank you.

4916
02:50:00,240 --> 02:50:00,620
Oh, I'm sorry.

4917
02:50:00,700 --> 02:50:01,000
You're right.

4918
02:50:01,220 --> 02:50:01,400
You're right.

4919
02:50:01,760 --> 02:50:03,740
A fight is as important as this one

4920
02:50:03,740 --> 02:50:04,040
is.

4921
02:50:04,040 --> 02:50:07,780
For Justin Trudeau, who for months resisted calls

4922
02:50:07,780 --> 02:50:10,040
from his own MPs that he step down

4923
02:50:10,040 --> 02:50:12,020
for the good of their party, the realization

4924
02:50:12,020 --> 02:50:13,540
finally set in.

4925
02:50:13,940 --> 02:50:15,920
This was a fight he could not win.

4926
02:50:16,080 --> 02:50:18,540
This country deserves a real choice in the

4927
02:50:18,540 --> 02:50:19,240
next election.

4928
02:50:19,760 --> 02:50:22,260
And it has become clear to me that

4929
02:50:22,260 --> 02:50:26,080
if I'm having to fight internal battles, I

4930
02:50:26,080 --> 02:50:29,360
cannot be the best option in that election.

4931
02:50:29,760 --> 02:50:31,940
Trudeau appeared today outside his home at Rideau

4932
02:50:31,940 --> 02:50:34,560
Cottage, where he held daily briefings during the

4933
02:50:34,560 --> 02:50:37,040
COVID pandemic to announce the end of a

4934
02:50:37,040 --> 02:50:37,820
political era.

4935
02:50:38,180 --> 02:50:41,120
After nearly a decade as prime minister, he's

4936
02:50:41,120 --> 02:50:41,760
stepping down.

4937
02:50:41,880 --> 02:50:45,200
I intend to resign as party leader, as

4938
02:50:45,200 --> 02:50:49,480
prime minister, after the party selects its next

4939
02:50:49,480 --> 02:50:54,580
leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process.

4940
02:50:54,980 --> 02:50:57,400
Asked about his legacy, Trudeau says he's proud

4941
02:50:57,400 --> 02:51:00,100
of his government's work on reconciliation and helping

4942
02:51:00,100 --> 02:51:00,900
the middle class.

4943
02:51:00,900 --> 02:51:03,920
His greatest regret, breaking his promise to bring

4944
02:51:03,920 --> 02:51:05,160
in electoral reform.

4945
02:51:05,320 --> 02:51:07,620
For now, Trudeau says he's asked the governor

4946
02:51:07,620 --> 02:51:10,780
general to prorogue Parliament until March 24th.

4947
02:51:11,040 --> 02:51:13,460
That will give the Liberals time, though not

4948
02:51:13,460 --> 02:51:15,400
much, to pick a new leader, but it

4949
02:51:15,400 --> 02:51:17,900
will also be, Trudeau says, a much needed

4950
02:51:17,900 --> 02:51:18,420
break.

4951
02:51:18,520 --> 02:51:23,680
Parliament has been entirely seized by obstruction and

4952
02:51:23,680 --> 02:51:27,160
filibustering and a total lack of productivity.

4953
02:51:27,860 --> 02:51:29,140
And it's time for a reset.

4954
02:51:29,940 --> 02:51:32,420
So the suggestions from the troll room are

4955
02:51:32,420 --> 02:51:39,420
the McKenzie brothers, Wayne Gretzky, and, you know,

4956
02:51:39,500 --> 02:51:41,640
I was listening, Jordan Peterson, good one.

4957
02:51:42,440 --> 02:51:44,760
I was listening to a pod, to the

4958
02:51:44,760 --> 02:51:45,800
Truanon podcast.

4959
02:51:46,040 --> 02:51:47,460
You ever heard of the Truanon podcast?

4960
02:51:48,140 --> 02:51:48,260
No.

4961
02:51:49,120 --> 02:51:52,440
And they claim that Trudeau, that Elon Musk

4962
02:51:52,440 --> 02:51:53,500
is actually Canadian.

4963
02:51:53,880 --> 02:51:55,380
He's not Australian at all.

4964
02:51:56,260 --> 02:51:57,460
He's never been Australian.

4965
02:51:57,660 --> 02:51:59,040
He's a South African.

4966
02:51:59,040 --> 02:52:00,220
I'm sorry, South African.

4967
02:52:00,880 --> 02:52:02,120
That he's Canadian.

4968
02:52:02,740 --> 02:52:03,680
No, he's not.

4969
02:52:04,100 --> 02:52:05,020
I'm just telling you.

4970
02:52:06,500 --> 02:52:08,180
Maybe he could be the prime minister.

4971
02:52:08,320 --> 02:52:10,520
He could be the governor of Canada.

4972
02:52:11,440 --> 02:52:12,820
Is that actually possible?

4973
02:52:13,020 --> 02:52:14,040
Could we do that?

4974
02:52:14,100 --> 02:52:15,940
Could we make Canada a 51st state?

4975
02:52:16,120 --> 02:52:16,780
Could we buy them?

4976
02:52:17,440 --> 02:52:18,180
Too much work.

4977
02:52:18,640 --> 02:52:20,320
And I've thought about this.

4978
02:52:20,660 --> 02:52:23,580
You don't want Canada to be the 51st

4979
02:52:23,580 --> 02:52:25,420
or 51st and 52nd state.

4980
02:52:26,160 --> 02:52:29,240
Canada's basis for existing is so much different

4981
02:52:29,240 --> 02:52:29,760
than ours.

4982
02:52:29,940 --> 02:52:31,680
Ours, we fought a revolution.

4983
02:52:31,920 --> 02:52:33,060
We shot the bad guys.

4984
02:52:33,160 --> 02:52:35,280
We ran the place, ran them out of

4985
02:52:35,280 --> 02:52:36,520
town, and we're tough guys.

4986
02:52:37,020 --> 02:52:41,780
Canada accomplished the same thing, but they did

4987
02:52:41,780 --> 02:52:42,280
it differently.

4988
02:52:42,500 --> 02:52:44,880
Their whole mechanism for getting where they got

4989
02:52:44,880 --> 02:52:46,380
is by complaining.

4990
02:52:46,860 --> 02:52:50,000
The Canadians complain and complain and complain about

4991
02:52:50,000 --> 02:52:50,340
everything.

4992
02:52:50,680 --> 02:52:52,600
Who needs that aggravation?

4993
02:52:53,400 --> 02:52:55,360
I'm going to show my support by donating

4994
02:52:55,360 --> 02:52:56,260
to No Agenda.

4995
02:52:56,380 --> 02:52:58,320
Imagine all the people who could do that.

4996
02:52:58,520 --> 02:52:59,540
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.

4997
02:53:06,020 --> 02:53:09,560
You have successfully cured me of any thoughts

4998
02:53:09,560 --> 02:53:11,980
of having Canada as a member of our

4999
02:53:11,980 --> 02:53:12,300
union.

5000
02:53:12,700 --> 02:53:14,380
We don't want the complainers.

5001
02:53:15,780 --> 02:53:16,900
You're absolutely right.

5002
02:53:16,900 --> 02:53:17,500
It would be miserable.

5003
02:53:17,860 --> 02:53:18,560
It'd be horrible.

5004
02:53:19,300 --> 02:53:22,080
And now it is time to thank the

5005
02:53:22,080 --> 02:53:25,760
rest of our donors for episode 1728.

5006
02:53:25,960 --> 02:53:28,120
These are producers who have done their duty

5007
02:53:28,120 --> 02:53:30,380
and have produced by sending us one of

5008
02:53:30,380 --> 02:53:32,300
the three Ts, time, talent, treasure.

5009
02:53:32,580 --> 02:53:34,040
You can do lots of things to help

5010
02:53:34,040 --> 02:53:34,700
this show out.

5011
02:53:34,960 --> 02:53:38,960
Lots of things to save costs by creating

5012
02:53:38,960 --> 02:53:40,640
things that we desperately need.

5013
02:53:40,780 --> 02:53:41,680
See void zero.

5014
02:53:42,100 --> 02:53:44,040
But then there's always the treasure part of

5015
02:53:44,040 --> 02:53:44,600
the three Ts.

5016
02:53:44,680 --> 02:53:45,760
And John is going to take us through

5017
02:53:45,760 --> 02:53:47,220
the 50s right now.

5018
02:53:47,220 --> 02:53:49,420
Yeah, starting with Sir Mark of the Big

5019
02:53:49,420 --> 02:53:52,020
Kielbasa in Warsaw, Poland.

5020
02:53:52,980 --> 02:53:53,680
Hey, kurwa.

5021
02:53:54,460 --> 02:53:55,960
One, two, three, four, five.

5022
02:53:56,940 --> 02:53:57,820
Favorite donation.

5023
02:53:59,100 --> 02:54:02,980
Stephen Belode in Lafayette, Louisiana, 100.

5024
02:54:06,020 --> 02:54:07,880
He has some, he's going to become a

5025
02:54:07,880 --> 02:54:08,760
podcaster, I guess.

5026
02:54:08,980 --> 02:54:10,340
What does he say?

5027
02:54:12,280 --> 02:54:14,140
See if there's anything we need to discuss.

5028
02:54:14,340 --> 02:54:15,860
But I'm going to continue as you look

5029
02:54:15,860 --> 02:54:16,200
at that.

5030
02:54:16,840 --> 02:54:19,280
Zachary Vickers in Lincoln, Nebraska, 100.

5031
02:54:21,320 --> 02:54:23,780
I'm not anywhere near the fires for people

5032
02:54:23,780 --> 02:54:24,440
who want to know.

5033
02:54:25,960 --> 02:54:27,920
I'm 440 miles away.

5034
02:54:28,480 --> 02:54:30,020
Quite, quite some distance.

5035
02:54:30,640 --> 02:54:30,840
Yeah.

5036
02:54:31,440 --> 02:54:34,180
Zachary Vickers in Lincoln, Nebraska has came in

5037
02:54:34,180 --> 02:54:34,540
again.

5038
02:54:34,840 --> 02:54:37,780
No, wait, well, shouldn't he be an associate

5039
02:54:37,780 --> 02:54:38,060
exec?

5040
02:54:38,940 --> 02:54:40,140
Yeah, I guess we'll move him up.

5041
02:54:40,240 --> 02:54:41,600
But he came in another 100 and he

5042
02:54:41,600 --> 02:54:43,920
says apology donation for the first donation.

5043
02:54:44,600 --> 02:54:46,760
Sorry about the bad joke about Dvorak and

5044
02:54:46,760 --> 02:54:47,220
the fires.

5045
02:54:48,120 --> 02:54:49,060
Well, that's a double.

5046
02:54:49,360 --> 02:54:51,000
He's, I'm putting him in right now.

5047
02:54:51,120 --> 02:54:52,720
You are an associate executive producer.

5048
02:54:52,860 --> 02:54:54,260
I'm glad we always check these.

5049
02:54:54,440 --> 02:54:54,720
Very good.

5050
02:54:54,880 --> 02:54:56,280
Again, and, you know, I'm nowhere near the

5051
02:54:56,280 --> 02:54:56,520
fires.

5052
02:54:56,660 --> 02:54:59,320
And so the joke was lost, just lost,

5053
02:54:59,480 --> 02:55:00,840
just lost to the void.

5054
02:55:01,740 --> 02:55:05,160
Tan Hawk Lai, 100 dollars.

5055
02:55:05,440 --> 02:55:08,000
Tan Hawk Lai for good karma to my

5056
02:55:08,000 --> 02:55:10,260
daughter currently in an exchange program in Michigan.

5057
02:55:10,680 --> 02:55:11,160
All right.

5058
02:55:12,580 --> 02:55:14,860
Some, somebody seems to be some connection to

5059
02:55:14,860 --> 02:55:15,600
Singapore here.

5060
02:55:16,140 --> 02:55:16,680
Ah, there we go.

5061
02:55:16,920 --> 02:55:20,600
8008 from Kevin McLaughlin, the boob donation.

03:01:59,540 --> 03:01:59,860
Hampshire.

5241
03:02:00,320 --> 03:02:02,400
And finally, on our next show day, Sunday,

5242
03:02:02,660 --> 03:02:05,220
the Second Mountains and Rivers Meetup, 3.33

5243
03:02:05,220 --> 03:02:07,240
at The Dam Restaurant and Bar.

5244
03:02:07,440 --> 03:02:11,020
You'll find that in South Slocan, Slocan, British

5245
03:02:11,020 --> 03:02:12,560
Columbia, Candanavia.

5246
03:02:13,360 --> 03:02:15,000
Looking forward to meetup reports.

5247
03:02:15,000 --> 03:02:17,240
Please send them to me, adamandcurry.com.

5248
03:02:17,300 --> 03:02:19,500
That is your No Agenda Meetups for the

5249
03:02:19,500 --> 03:02:20,220
next few days.

5250
03:02:20,300 --> 03:02:22,040
Remember that there are many more listed at

5251
03:02:22,040 --> 03:02:23,240
noagendameetups.com.

5252
03:02:23,280 --> 03:02:25,040
If you can't find one near you, start

5253
03:02:25,040 --> 03:02:25,660
one yourself.

5254
03:02:25,740 --> 03:02:27,720
It's easy and always a party.

5255
03:02:45,860 --> 03:02:50,880
I would like to tell all the producers

5256
03:02:50,880 --> 03:02:52,300
out there who love trying to help me

5257
03:02:52,300 --> 03:02:54,500
out, sending me ISOs, end of show ISOs,

5258
03:02:54,500 --> 03:02:55,540
and I do have a number today.

5259
03:02:55,540 --> 03:02:58,920
Um, please note that we are never looking

5260
03:02:58,920 --> 03:03:00,580
for an ISO of ourselves.

5261
03:03:01,380 --> 03:03:02,820
That is not the idea.

5262
03:03:03,700 --> 03:03:06,080
And ISOs of someone saying in the morning

5263
03:03:06,080 --> 03:03:07,980
also will never fly.

5264
03:03:08,800 --> 03:03:10,460
I just need to say that because people

5265
03:03:10,460 --> 03:03:12,420
keeps, oh, this guy said in the morning.

5266
03:03:13,640 --> 03:03:16,080
No, no, we're not looking for that.

5267
03:03:17,280 --> 03:03:18,840
Um, here's a couple that I have.

5268
03:03:18,920 --> 03:03:20,360
I'll start off since I have one, two,

5269
03:03:20,420 --> 03:03:21,480
three, five of them.

5270
03:03:21,580 --> 03:03:22,780
I hate to say this, but it feels

5271
03:03:22,780 --> 03:03:24,440
like 2020 all over again.

5272
03:03:26,960 --> 03:03:27,520
How about this one?

5273
03:03:27,720 --> 03:03:28,680
It's so cool.

5274
03:03:31,760 --> 03:03:32,580
It's a little muddy.

5275
03:03:32,980 --> 03:03:33,620
Look at that thing.

5276
03:03:33,740 --> 03:03:34,880
It's so big.

5277
03:03:36,520 --> 03:03:38,240
It's a little, a little lewd.

5278
03:03:38,320 --> 03:03:38,880
How about this one?

5279
03:03:38,960 --> 03:03:39,760
So refreshing.

5280
03:03:41,100 --> 03:03:41,900
So refreshing.

5281
03:03:42,240 --> 03:03:43,660
Actually, I can go for that one.

5282
03:03:43,760 --> 03:03:45,100
Or trolling Canada.

5283
03:03:46,060 --> 03:03:46,840
Trolling Canada.

5284
03:03:46,960 --> 03:03:48,200
I think so refreshing is.

5285
03:03:48,340 --> 03:03:49,200
So refreshing.

5286
03:03:49,740 --> 03:03:51,060
Yeah, I kind of like so refreshing.

5287
03:03:51,360 --> 03:03:51,700
I do.

5288
03:03:51,800 --> 03:03:52,480
I like that too.

5289
03:03:52,880 --> 03:03:53,400
What do you have?

5290
03:03:53,960 --> 03:03:54,560
That could win.

5291
03:03:54,620 --> 03:03:55,300
So I got three.

5292
03:03:55,700 --> 03:03:56,760
I got this one.

5293
03:03:56,880 --> 03:03:58,200
We played early OSP.

5294
03:03:58,320 --> 03:03:58,940
Good news.

5295
03:04:01,380 --> 03:04:03,140
The good news is that there is no

5296
03:04:03,140 --> 03:04:04,020
more bad news.

5297
03:04:04,420 --> 03:04:04,820
Goodbye.

5298
03:04:06,080 --> 03:04:09,460
A little on the long side, but I

5299
03:04:09,460 --> 03:04:09,760
like it.

5300
03:04:09,960 --> 03:04:11,300
I could live with it.

5301
03:04:12,420 --> 03:04:13,340
And let's try.

5302
03:04:13,640 --> 03:04:15,300
Stay safe, please.

5303
03:04:15,540 --> 03:04:16,520
Stay safe, please.

5304
03:04:17,420 --> 03:04:18,980
Now we have much better.

5305
03:04:19,080 --> 03:04:20,080
Stay safe than that.

5306
03:04:20,980 --> 03:04:21,880
And then guys.

5307
03:04:21,880 --> 03:04:23,560
These guys know what they are doing.

5308
03:04:23,780 --> 03:04:24,400
There it is.

5309
03:04:24,560 --> 03:04:25,140
There it is.

5310
03:04:25,220 --> 03:04:25,840
That's the one.

5311
03:04:25,920 --> 03:04:26,920
Because that's the truth.

5312
03:04:26,980 --> 03:04:28,300
These guys know what they are doing.

5313
03:04:28,400 --> 03:04:29,480
We know what we are doing.

5314
03:04:29,660 --> 03:04:32,140
And we also have John's tip of the

5315
03:04:32,140 --> 03:04:33,100
day to prove it.

5316
03:04:41,860 --> 03:04:42,740
I'm excited.

5317
03:04:43,040 --> 03:04:43,560
The highlight.

5318
03:04:43,920 --> 03:04:44,380
Oops, sorry.

5319
03:04:44,480 --> 03:04:46,360
The highlight of every single show is, of

5320
03:04:46,360 --> 03:04:48,180
course, John's tip of the day.

5321
03:04:48,560 --> 03:04:50,080
This is a process tip.

5322
03:04:50,520 --> 03:04:51,340
Process tip.

5323
03:04:52,140 --> 03:04:53,100
Yeah, process.

5324
03:04:53,360 --> 03:04:54,440
A process you go through.

5325
03:04:54,920 --> 03:04:55,160
Okay.

5326
03:04:56,320 --> 03:04:58,580
So if anyone wants to listen to something

5327
03:04:58,580 --> 03:05:00,300
interesting, you should listen to, I think it's

5328
03:05:00,300 --> 03:05:04,200
a recent Scott Adams diatribe complaining about the

5329
03:05:04,200 --> 03:05:06,000
fact that he's been ripped off by Amazon.

5330
03:05:06,740 --> 03:05:07,480
For his book?

5331
03:05:08,060 --> 03:05:10,180
His book and his calendar in particular.

5332
03:05:10,620 --> 03:05:12,100
How did he get ripped off?

5333
03:05:12,640 --> 03:05:14,920
Well, the calendar only has one official place

5334
03:05:14,920 --> 03:05:15,580
that sells it.

5335
03:05:15,620 --> 03:05:17,920
He says that the counterfeit versions are for

5336
03:05:17,920 --> 03:05:18,800
sale on Amazon.

5337
03:05:18,960 --> 03:05:19,980
And he can't get them off?

5338
03:05:20,620 --> 03:05:21,100
No.

5339
03:05:21,420 --> 03:05:21,720
Wow.

5340
03:05:21,720 --> 03:05:22,960
He tried to get him off.

5341
03:05:23,040 --> 03:05:23,780
It's a rigmarole.

5342
03:05:23,960 --> 03:05:25,700
He says as far as he's concerned, they're

5343
03:05:25,700 --> 03:05:26,960
making money off of them.

5344
03:05:27,660 --> 03:05:27,760
Wow.

5345
03:05:28,340 --> 03:05:29,660
Is he going to sue them?

5346
03:05:29,740 --> 03:05:30,400
Is he going to sue them?

5347
03:05:31,520 --> 03:05:33,640
This is the thing that bugs me about

5348
03:05:33,640 --> 03:05:34,900
this diatribe.

5349
03:05:35,000 --> 03:05:37,320
And a lot of people have sent it

5350
03:05:37,320 --> 03:05:37,800
in to me.

5351
03:05:38,580 --> 03:05:39,980
It says he's not going to sue them.

5352
03:05:41,100 --> 03:05:43,420
And it's a lawsuit for copyright violation.

5353
03:05:43,560 --> 03:05:44,540
He could easily do it.

5354
03:05:45,300 --> 03:05:47,960
But he doesn't want to hurt his sales

5355
03:05:47,960 --> 03:05:49,380
of his other books that he knows are

5356
03:05:49,380 --> 03:05:51,860
legit that are going through the system.

5357
03:05:51,980 --> 03:05:53,180
Even though he's probably getting ripped off.

5358
03:05:53,280 --> 03:05:53,660
What kind of weenie is that?

5359
03:05:53,780 --> 03:05:54,820
He's a weenie.

5360
03:05:55,100 --> 03:05:57,180
He's very much of a weenie when it

5361
03:05:57,180 --> 03:05:57,740
comes to this.

5362
03:05:58,720 --> 03:06:00,060
But the thing that the tip of the

5363
03:06:00,060 --> 03:06:03,060
day is the fact that Jay or me,

5364
03:06:03,100 --> 03:06:04,720
we actually bought a couple of memory cards

5365
03:06:04,720 --> 03:06:06,080
recently that were from Amazon.

5366
03:06:06,220 --> 03:06:06,840
And they were bad.

5367
03:06:07,400 --> 03:06:07,680
Oh, no.

5368
03:06:08,480 --> 03:06:09,340
They were counterfeits.

5369
03:06:10,120 --> 03:06:11,960
Did they have one K on them instead

5370
03:06:11,960 --> 03:06:12,680
of one gig?

5371
03:06:13,020 --> 03:06:14,220
They didn't even work.

5372
03:06:16,640 --> 03:06:19,260
And I will say I don't run into

5373
03:06:19,260 --> 03:06:19,820
that so much.

5374
03:06:20,260 --> 03:06:25,420
But if you go to use AliExpress, almost

5375
03:06:25,420 --> 03:06:27,140
all the memory there you buy from them

5376
03:06:27,140 --> 03:06:27,780
is no good.

5377
03:06:28,040 --> 03:06:29,100
It's just fake.

5378
03:06:29,500 --> 03:06:31,980
They have the right packaging, kind of.

5379
03:06:32,060 --> 03:06:33,940
But then it looks a little fishy, a

5380
03:06:33,940 --> 03:06:34,220
little shady.

5381
03:06:34,240 --> 03:06:36,540
It's basically just a piece of plastic you're

5382
03:06:36,540 --> 03:06:37,620
jamming into your computer.

5383
03:06:37,740 --> 03:06:38,140
That's it?

5384
03:06:38,760 --> 03:06:40,740
Well, there's sometimes, like you said, there's one

5385
03:06:40,740 --> 03:06:43,580
K, but it registers as full.

5386
03:06:43,860 --> 03:06:44,900
But it's bullcrap.

5387
03:06:45,020 --> 03:06:46,820
They said they've messed with the headers and

5388
03:06:46,820 --> 03:06:48,180
they make it look like bigger than it

5389
03:06:48,180 --> 03:06:48,320
is.

5390
03:06:48,320 --> 03:06:49,840
These Chinese are no good.

5391
03:06:50,860 --> 03:06:53,540
But with Amazon, this has been going on

5392
03:06:53,540 --> 03:06:55,320
for a long time because I noticed this

5393
03:06:55,320 --> 03:06:56,300
years ago.

5394
03:06:57,180 --> 03:06:59,400
And Amazon, because they could use outside vendors

5395
03:06:59,400 --> 03:07:00,540
and these vendors are crooked.

5396
03:07:02,300 --> 03:07:04,220
With Amazon, the tip of the day is

5397
03:07:04,220 --> 03:07:07,400
look at the one star reviews of all

5398
03:07:07,400 --> 03:07:10,620
the products you buy at Amazon because it

5399
03:07:10,620 --> 03:07:13,340
will be revealed because it is the season

5400
03:07:13,340 --> 03:07:13,880
of reveal.

5401
03:07:13,880 --> 03:07:16,560
It will be revealed in the one star

5402
03:07:16,560 --> 03:07:20,620
reviews that these cards, these chips, these thumb

5403
03:07:20,620 --> 03:07:22,420
drives are bullcrap.

5404
03:07:22,900 --> 03:07:23,740
It's always in there.

5405
03:07:23,900 --> 03:07:25,520
Amazon has no product because they just let

5406
03:07:25,520 --> 03:07:27,200
the stuff, you know, people send us the

5407
03:07:27,200 --> 03:07:29,640
complaints in and they stay there and they

5408
03:07:29,640 --> 03:07:30,200
get posted.

5409
03:07:30,700 --> 03:07:32,180
So it's very easy to spot.

5410
03:07:32,380 --> 03:07:34,280
It's not like, you know, if you don't

5411
03:07:34,280 --> 03:07:35,800
do any work at all and don't even

5412
03:07:35,800 --> 03:07:37,900
try or see if there's a one star

5413
03:07:37,900 --> 03:07:41,640
review or even two star review, you're making

5414
03:07:41,640 --> 03:07:42,380
a huge mistake.

5415
03:07:42,380 --> 03:07:43,920
You're going to be buying faulty product.

5416
03:07:44,120 --> 03:07:46,260
That's, you know, Tina is a big review

5417
03:07:46,260 --> 03:07:46,700
person.

5418
03:07:47,120 --> 03:07:49,100
She, first of all, she will review things,

5419
03:07:49,180 --> 03:07:51,060
but she always looks at the reviews for

5420
03:07:51,060 --> 03:07:51,560
everything.

5421
03:07:51,820 --> 03:07:54,740
And she winds up buying nothing because there's

5422
03:07:54,740 --> 03:07:57,500
always a bunch of people going like, this

5423
03:07:57,500 --> 03:07:58,520
thing's no good.

5424
03:07:58,600 --> 03:07:59,260
It sucks.

5425
03:07:59,340 --> 03:08:00,180
It was bogus.

5426
03:08:00,300 --> 03:08:01,480
I hated this place.

5427
03:08:01,520 --> 03:08:02,620
The restaurant's no good.

5428
03:08:02,640 --> 03:08:03,560
I got food poisoning.

5429
03:08:04,580 --> 03:08:06,420
There's always one star reviews.

5430
03:08:06,520 --> 03:08:07,240
You got to be careful.

5431
03:08:07,240 --> 03:08:11,420
I believe most reviews are either bogus from

5432
03:08:11,420 --> 03:08:13,460
the company themself or from competitors.

5433
03:08:13,960 --> 03:08:15,120
And also I agree with that.

5434
03:08:15,200 --> 03:08:16,540
But I will say that if you look

5435
03:08:16,540 --> 03:08:18,680
at the one star reviews on we're talking,

5436
03:08:18,800 --> 03:08:21,360
this is specific to memory products.

5437
03:08:21,460 --> 03:08:21,900
Okay.

5438
03:08:22,200 --> 03:08:23,240
I'm with you on that.

5439
03:08:23,280 --> 03:08:25,660
The memory products, there'll be somebody saying this

5440
03:08:25,660 --> 03:08:27,840
is a fake product that doesn't have their

5441
03:08:27,840 --> 03:08:28,620
amount of memory.

5442
03:08:28,720 --> 03:08:30,940
And that's usually not some from this, some

5443
03:08:30,940 --> 03:08:34,040
disgruntled competitor with memory people.

5444
03:08:34,040 --> 03:08:35,580
They don't do that to each other.

5445
03:08:36,000 --> 03:08:38,620
There's a code of conduct amongst the memory

5446
03:08:38,620 --> 03:08:39,060
people.

5447
03:08:39,460 --> 03:08:39,760
Apparently.

5448
03:08:40,700 --> 03:08:41,980
I would think there would be.

5449
03:08:41,980 --> 03:08:42,980
So that's your tip of the day.

5450
03:08:43,100 --> 03:08:43,440
All right.

5451
03:08:43,500 --> 03:08:43,840
There it is.

5452
03:08:43,900 --> 03:08:45,500
Ladies and gentlemen, go to tipoftheday.net or

5453
03:08:45,500 --> 03:08:48,260
noagendafund.com for more of John's tip of

5454
03:08:48,260 --> 03:08:48,800
the day.

5455
03:08:59,260 --> 03:08:59,860
That's right.

5456
03:09:00,000 --> 03:09:01,920
Created by Danny Brunetti, who cannot get ahold

5457
03:09:01,920 --> 03:09:03,280
of you because your line is busy.

5458
03:09:06,180 --> 03:09:07,720
Phone's off the hook at the moment.

5459
03:09:07,920 --> 03:09:08,220
Course.

5460
03:09:08,640 --> 03:09:09,380
Oh, good.

5461
03:09:09,880 --> 03:09:10,540
Very good.

5462
03:09:11,220 --> 03:09:13,020
That's not always been the case throughout the

5463
03:09:13,020 --> 03:09:14,120
show.

5464
03:09:14,420 --> 03:09:15,980
The history of the show, but it's off

5465
03:09:15,980 --> 03:09:16,500
the hook now.

5466
03:09:17,580 --> 03:09:20,860
And this concludes our broadcast day of media

5467
03:09:20,860 --> 03:09:22,300
deconstruction for you.

5468
03:09:22,440 --> 03:09:25,500
Our thoughts and indeed, my prayers are with

5469
03:09:25,500 --> 03:09:26,500
all in Los Angeles.

5470
03:09:27,620 --> 03:09:30,880
And coming up next on No Agenda Stream,

5471
03:09:31,160 --> 03:09:33,960
which is trollroom.io. Feel free to troll

5472
03:09:33,960 --> 03:09:34,260
along.

5473
03:09:34,260 --> 03:09:36,300
Who are these broadcasters?

5474
03:09:38,400 --> 03:09:41,620
Subtitle Nikki's Globes and a Demure New Year.

5475
03:09:43,280 --> 03:09:45,180
And if you're listening on a modern podcast

5476
03:09:45,180 --> 03:09:46,640
app, you'll hear it there as well.

5477
03:09:46,840 --> 03:09:47,680
End of show.

5478
03:09:48,480 --> 03:09:50,520
Mixes from Leo LaPuke.

5479
03:09:50,660 --> 03:09:51,360
Brand new for him.

5480
03:09:51,580 --> 03:09:52,840
And from David Cacta.

5481
03:09:52,980 --> 03:09:54,060
Two dynamite mixes.

5482
03:09:54,200 --> 03:09:55,000
We thank them for that.

5483
03:09:55,460 --> 03:09:57,000
And I am coming to you from a

5484
03:09:57,000 --> 03:10:00,760
very wet and quite chilly Fredericksburg here in

5485
03:10:00,760 --> 03:10:02,260
the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

5486
03:10:02,680 --> 03:10:03,800
In the morning, everybody.

5487
03:10:03,800 --> 03:10:04,880
I'm Adam Curry.

5488
03:10:05,300 --> 03:10:07,800
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's seasonably

5489
03:10:07,800 --> 03:10:08,300
warm.

5490
03:10:08,500 --> 03:10:09,160
I'm John C.

5491
03:10:09,240 --> 03:10:09,620
Dvorak.

5492
03:10:09,700 --> 03:10:10,880
We return on Sunday.

5493
03:10:11,020 --> 03:10:12,380
Please join us, won't you?

5494
03:10:12,740 --> 03:10:14,100
We'll be here to do it all over

5495
03:10:14,100 --> 03:10:14,740
again for you.

5496
03:10:14,820 --> 03:10:16,960
Remember us at noagendadonations.com.

5497
03:10:17,000 --> 03:10:21,300
Until then, adios mofos, a hooey hooey, and

5498
03:10:21,300 --> 03:10:22,040
such.

5499
03:10:23,940 --> 03:10:25,420
Madam Mayor, do you think you should have

5500
03:10:25,420 --> 03:10:26,680
been visiting Gano?

5501
03:10:27,780 --> 03:10:29,920
Do you owe citizens an apology for being

5502
03:10:29,920 --> 03:10:31,320
absent while their homes were burning?

5503
03:10:32,880 --> 03:10:35,420
Do you regret cutting the fire department budget

5504
03:10:35,420 --> 03:10:37,160
by millions of dollars, Madam Mayor?

5505
03:10:38,860 --> 03:10:41,660
Elon Musk says that you're utterly incompetent.

5506
03:10:41,720 --> 03:10:43,000
Are you considering your position?

5507
03:10:45,620 --> 03:10:47,500
Madam Mayor, have you absolutely nothing to say

5508
03:10:47,500 --> 03:10:48,600
to the citizens today?

5509
03:10:48,880 --> 03:10:50,380
You're dealing with this disaster.

5510
03:10:51,620 --> 03:10:53,000
No apology for them.

5511
03:10:54,740 --> 03:10:57,120
Have you absolutely nothing to say to the

5512
03:10:57,120 --> 03:10:57,780
citizens today?

5513
03:10:57,780 --> 03:11:02,740
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning,

5514
03:11:06,340 --> 03:11:07,580
who's in command?

5515
03:11:13,720 --> 03:11:16,360
The inferno engulfing Los Angeles.

5516
03:11:16,560 --> 03:11:20,620
Democrat mismanagement with misplaced environmentalism had stood up

5517
03:11:20,620 --> 03:11:24,660
with a heady mix of DEI-inspired incompetence.

5518
03:11:24,800 --> 03:11:27,240
Right now, if you need help, emergency information,

5519
03:11:27,420 --> 03:11:29,940
all of this can be found at URL.

5520
03:11:30,360 --> 03:11:34,220
We must not be afraid to define our

5521
03:11:34,220 --> 03:11:34,760
enemy.

5522
03:11:35,720 --> 03:11:40,380
It is Islamic extremist terrorism.

5523
03:11:45,580 --> 03:11:48,200
On that deadly attack in New Orleans in

5524
03:11:48,200 --> 03:11:50,880
the French Quarter tonight, the FBI has put

5525
03:11:50,880 --> 03:11:53,180
out new images of the suspect just hours

5526
03:11:53,180 --> 03:11:54,280
before the attack.

5527
03:11:54,620 --> 03:11:58,200
He is seen placing coolers containing explosive devices

5528
03:11:58,200 --> 03:11:59,600
along Bourbon Street.

5529
03:12:02,140 --> 03:12:04,600
The soldier who took his life outside of

5530
03:12:04,600 --> 03:12:06,680
the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas said he

5531
03:12:06,680 --> 03:12:08,900
was trying to draw attention to the country's

5532
03:12:08,900 --> 03:12:09,400
problems.

5533
03:12:14,040 --> 03:12:17,160
You said that you guys think that they've

5534
03:12:17,160 --> 03:12:18,760
sent at least 15, Al-Qaeda alone has

5535
03:12:18,760 --> 03:12:20,120
sent at least 1,500 people into the

5536
03:12:20,120 --> 03:12:20,580
United States.

5537
03:12:20,840 --> 03:12:21,140
Correct.

5538
03:12:21,280 --> 03:12:22,320
What do they plan on doing with them?

5539
03:12:22,320 --> 03:12:26,760
They have a 2025 multi-coordinated, multi-city

5540
03:12:26,760 --> 03:12:30,120
plot to avenge the death of Osama Bin

5541
03:12:30,120 --> 03:12:30,380
Laden.

5542
03:12:31,300 --> 03:12:36,280
We've been warning about what's happening for damn

5543
03:12:36,280 --> 03:12:37,380
near a year now.

5544
03:12:37,860 --> 03:12:39,240
We have these invisible bombs.

5545
03:12:39,380 --> 03:12:40,600
Do you know about the invisible bombs?

5546
03:12:40,780 --> 03:12:41,420
Oh no!

5547
03:12:42,020 --> 03:12:43,580
The invisible bombs?

5548
03:12:44,260 --> 03:12:46,200
John, do you know about the invisible bombs?

5549
03:12:46,560 --> 03:12:48,300
No, but I'm about to find out.

5550
03:12:55,820 --> 03:12:57,320
Adios, mofo.

5551
03:12:57,400 --> 03:13:00,780
Dvorak.org slash N-A.

5552
03:13:01,280 --> 03:13:03,240
These guys know what they are doing.
