1
00:00:00,220 --> 00:00:02,600
Hey man, tell Joe, tell Joe, tell Joe!

2
00:00:02,940 --> 00:00:04,560
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:05,120
Dvorak.

4
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,700
This Wednesday, January 30th, 2025, this is your

5
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:10,080
award-winning give-on-Asian-media-assassination episode

6
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,480
1734.

7
00:00:11,780 --> 00:00:13,360
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,560
Parsing the prescriptives and broadcasting live from the

9
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,360
heart of the Texas Hill Country right here

10
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:21,500
in FEMA Region No.

11
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:22,100
6.

12
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,360
In the morning, everybody.

13
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:24,540
I'm Adam Curry.

14
00:00:24,540 --> 00:00:27,560
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I've determined

15
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,740
that Vogue magazine is an outlet of the

16
00:00:29,740 --> 00:00:30,900
American Communist Party.

17
00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:31,500
I'm John C.

18
00:00:31,619 --> 00:00:31,960
Dvorak.

19
00:00:32,420 --> 00:00:35,330
In the morning.

20
00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:36,850
What magazine now?

21
00:00:38,270 --> 00:00:38,790
Vogue.

22
00:00:39,130 --> 00:00:39,730
Oh, Vogue?

23
00:00:39,910 --> 00:00:41,370
Vogue is a commie rag?

24
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:42,170
Is that what you're saying?

25
00:00:42,710 --> 00:00:44,910
Well, I, you didn't, you know, when they

26
00:00:44,910 --> 00:00:48,090
did this slam of poor Melania Trump's official

27
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:48,710
portrait.

28
00:00:48,930 --> 00:00:50,930
Oh, have they done that again?

29
00:00:51,210 --> 00:00:52,190
Did they publish it?

30
00:00:52,190 --> 00:00:53,770
Last time they said she looks like a

31
00:00:53,770 --> 00:00:56,350
freelance magician with that outfit on.

32
00:00:56,750 --> 00:00:57,710
That's a good line.

33
00:00:58,290 --> 00:00:58,950
It's funny.

34
00:01:00,130 --> 00:01:03,150
But, but then it harkens back to the

35
00:01:03,150 --> 00:01:05,130
Teen Vogue article on Marxism.

36
00:01:05,230 --> 00:01:06,370
But this is about three or four years

37
00:01:06,370 --> 00:01:06,630
ago.

38
00:01:06,730 --> 00:01:07,870
We talked about it on the show.

39
00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:11,410
They did not only an article on like

40
00:01:11,410 --> 00:01:15,050
how Marxism works, but they were advocating for

41
00:01:15,050 --> 00:01:15,550
it.

42
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:16,210
Wow.

43
00:01:16,410 --> 00:01:17,810
For Teen, in Teen Vogue.

44
00:01:18,030 --> 00:01:20,930
Oh, no, Teen Vogue is a complete Marxist

45
00:01:20,930 --> 00:01:21,590
magazine.

46
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:23,650
But Teen Vogue is part of Vogue.

47
00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:26,570
And the whole operation is run by Advanced

48
00:01:26,570 --> 00:01:29,710
Publications, which bought Condé Nast some years ago.

49
00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:31,570
And I think they're now suspect.

50
00:01:32,070 --> 00:01:32,610
Oh, totally.

51
00:01:32,830 --> 00:01:37,210
My, my youngest stepdaughter sometimes does production for

52
00:01:37,210 --> 00:01:37,950
some of their shoots.

53
00:01:38,090 --> 00:01:40,470
Totally, totally Marxist.

54
00:01:41,570 --> 00:01:42,550
Which is fine.

55
00:01:43,110 --> 00:01:43,910
That's fine.

56
00:01:44,190 --> 00:01:45,570
Yeah, but I think people should know.

57
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:49,810
Before the show started, we were discussing the

58
00:01:49,810 --> 00:01:52,950
origin of mind your P's and Q's.

59
00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:54,550
As I said to John, I think you

60
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:56,350
should mind your P's and Q's, son.

61
00:01:56,450 --> 00:01:59,570
Yes, and I was condemning him for drinking

62
00:01:59,570 --> 00:02:00,770
too much coffee in the morning.

63
00:02:00,970 --> 00:02:02,950
Mind your P's and Q's is an English

64
00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:05,970
language expression meaning mind your manners, mind your

65
00:02:05,970 --> 00:02:08,509
language, be on your best behavior, or watch

66
00:02:08,509 --> 00:02:09,250
what you're doing.

67
00:02:09,850 --> 00:02:10,110
Yeah.

68
00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:13,710
One explanation favored in Letters to the Editors

69
00:02:13,710 --> 00:02:17,310
of Notes and Queries, dated from 1851, is

70
00:02:17,310 --> 00:02:20,630
a literal interpretation of the saying regarding possible

71
00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:23,810
confusion between the lowercase letters P and Q

72
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:26,470
in schoolwork or typesetting.

73
00:02:27,290 --> 00:02:28,350
So you were right.

74
00:02:28,410 --> 00:02:29,810
You were very close to being correct.

75
00:02:30,610 --> 00:02:31,430
I was correct.

76
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:32,210
Story of your life.

77
00:02:32,330 --> 00:02:33,330
Story of your life.

78
00:02:33,610 --> 00:02:35,130
Very close to being correct.

79
00:02:35,210 --> 00:02:35,870
Very close.

80
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:38,670
I was close enough is the way it

81
00:02:38,670 --> 00:02:38,810
goes.

82
00:02:39,010 --> 00:02:39,850
Close enough.

83
00:02:39,850 --> 00:02:44,190
Unlike the close enough mishap that took place,

84
00:02:44,310 --> 00:02:45,510
which you have to discuss.

85
00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:46,970
I do.

86
00:02:47,490 --> 00:02:51,530
And it's always interesting how it went really

87
00:02:51,530 --> 00:02:52,470
fast this time.

88
00:02:52,670 --> 00:02:54,070
Like, oh, it was remote control.

89
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:55,470
Oh, come on.

90
00:02:55,710 --> 00:02:58,210
The stuff that came in is ridiculous.

91
00:02:58,610 --> 00:02:58,850
It is.

92
00:02:58,950 --> 00:03:01,330
And there's two things that bother me.

93
00:03:01,450 --> 00:03:05,430
One is the lack of information, of which,

94
00:03:05,650 --> 00:03:07,350
of course, there's not going to be that

95
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:07,610
much.

96
00:03:07,610 --> 00:03:09,310
The second one was the fact that it

97
00:03:09,310 --> 00:03:11,710
took up all the airwaves on all the

98
00:03:11,710 --> 00:03:14,850
networks for hours on end, and there was

99
00:03:14,850 --> 00:03:17,850
nothing to show or see except the one

100
00:03:17,850 --> 00:03:20,870
little looped video plus a million.

101
00:03:21,050 --> 00:03:22,350
I don't know how many police there are

102
00:03:22,350 --> 00:03:23,830
in that area, but there must be 10

103
00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:24,330
,000.

104
00:03:25,070 --> 00:03:26,890
And they just kept showing this one shot,

105
00:03:27,130 --> 00:03:28,710
and they had nothing to talk about.

106
00:03:28,870 --> 00:03:30,290
Why do they do this?

107
00:03:30,370 --> 00:03:31,250
What is the point?

108
00:03:31,370 --> 00:03:32,990
Oh, I can answer that question.

109
00:03:33,510 --> 00:03:36,770
Many of these news models are in Washington,

110
00:03:36,990 --> 00:03:40,530
D.C., or commute into Washington, D.C.,

111
00:03:40,530 --> 00:03:43,630
have been in Washington, D.C., regularly to

112
00:03:43,630 --> 00:03:46,750
get their marching orders, to talk to their

113
00:03:46,750 --> 00:03:49,690
inside sources and people familiar with the president's

114
00:03:49,690 --> 00:03:49,970
thinking.

115
00:03:50,410 --> 00:03:51,590
And they love this airport.

116
00:03:52,150 --> 00:03:53,730
So they're like, oh, man, that could have

117
00:03:53,730 --> 00:03:54,030
been me.

118
00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:55,630
Let's do some more story on it.

119
00:03:55,870 --> 00:03:56,730
It's all about them.

120
00:03:57,530 --> 00:04:01,730
Well, that actually brought Swalwell on, of all

121
00:04:01,730 --> 00:04:02,790
people from California.

122
00:04:02,970 --> 00:04:04,730
But he flew in like two or three

123
00:04:04,730 --> 00:04:06,070
planes before the crash.

124
00:04:06,370 --> 00:04:07,650
And it was the same thing.

125
00:04:07,870 --> 00:04:08,870
It could have been me.

126
00:04:09,170 --> 00:04:10,150
Yeah, of course.

127
00:04:10,270 --> 00:04:11,490
As always, it could have been me.

128
00:04:11,570 --> 00:04:17,110
Well, that's how it works with air disasters.

129
00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:18,890
Of course, everyone knows it could have been

130
00:04:18,890 --> 00:04:19,149
me.

131
00:04:20,209 --> 00:04:23,790
I am somewhat uniquely qualified because I am

132
00:04:23,790 --> 00:04:25,830
both a helicopter pilot and a fixed-wing

133
00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:26,150
pilot.

134
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:32,450
And this seems quite obvious to me what

135
00:04:32,450 --> 00:04:33,070
happened here.

136
00:04:33,330 --> 00:04:35,750
This is actually Sky News, I think, in

137
00:04:35,750 --> 00:04:36,610
Australia.

138
00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:39,290
This guy came pretty close to what was

139
00:04:39,290 --> 00:04:40,170
going on, I think.

140
00:04:40,170 --> 00:04:41,370
I understand, though.

141
00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:44,810
Very shortly before this accident, the aircraft in

142
00:04:44,810 --> 00:04:48,810
question, the Bombardier CR7, was actually cleared, asked

143
00:04:48,810 --> 00:04:51,730
to operate off a shorter runway, runway 33.

144
00:04:52,530 --> 00:04:55,030
So the fact that they changed the runways,

145
00:04:55,290 --> 00:04:57,890
I mean, that presumably is relatively common, is

146
00:04:57,890 --> 00:04:58,190
it not?

147
00:04:58,530 --> 00:04:59,550
It is relatively common.

148
00:04:59,710 --> 00:05:01,970
The challenge, though, of course, is that it

149
00:05:01,970 --> 00:05:03,990
means for aircraft departing, that's fine.

150
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:06,010
But for an aircraft that's already set up

151
00:05:06,010 --> 00:05:08,450
to land on a main runway, he's now

152
00:05:08,450 --> 00:05:10,610
got to fly an S-curve to actually

153
00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:13,070
reposition himself to come on a straight approach

154
00:05:13,070 --> 00:05:14,550
down on runway 33.

155
00:05:14,850 --> 00:05:16,570
That means that he's actually in a different

156
00:05:16,570 --> 00:05:16,970
position.

157
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:18,490
He's now over the Potomac.

158
00:05:18,770 --> 00:05:19,650
Why is this important?

159
00:05:19,790 --> 00:05:23,290
Because for the military helicopter pilot, his brain,

160
00:05:23,390 --> 00:05:26,050
which they call situational awareness, but you've got

161
00:05:26,050 --> 00:05:28,270
a brain map of where everything is, you'll

162
00:05:28,270 --> 00:05:30,350
have assumed everything is on approach to the

163
00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:32,150
main runway or departing the main runway.

164
00:05:32,330 --> 00:05:33,630
You won't have factored in.

165
00:05:33,630 --> 00:05:36,050
This one aircraft that's now coming in, doing

166
00:05:36,050 --> 00:05:37,510
a descent over the Potomac.

167
00:05:38,090 --> 00:05:39,290
He's pretty close.

168
00:05:39,390 --> 00:05:41,210
It is a situational awareness issue.

169
00:05:41,650 --> 00:05:43,890
And this is a known procedure to divert

170
00:05:43,890 --> 00:05:45,990
because it's a very busy airspace.

171
00:05:46,050 --> 00:05:49,010
Probably too busy because everyone loves it so

172
00:05:49,010 --> 00:05:50,990
much and want to go into DCA instead

173
00:05:50,990 --> 00:05:51,770
of the alternative.

174
00:05:51,770 --> 00:05:52,630
It's just closer.

175
00:05:52,930 --> 00:05:54,610
Well, yeah, the big difference is about an

176
00:05:54,610 --> 00:05:59,070
hour because DCA is right downtown and Dulles

177
00:05:59,070 --> 00:06:01,450
is a million miles away.

178
00:06:01,670 --> 00:06:01,910
Yeah.

179
00:06:02,850 --> 00:06:05,810
It's like Midway and O'Hare.

180
00:06:06,250 --> 00:06:09,170
So, the military are on a different frequency.

181
00:06:09,370 --> 00:06:12,150
So, he wasn't necessarily monitoring what was going,

182
00:06:12,250 --> 00:06:12,810
the pilot.

183
00:06:13,170 --> 00:06:15,990
And this was an annual, well, they call

184
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:18,370
it a re-inspection flight, which is kind

185
00:06:18,370 --> 00:06:20,330
of an, all pilots go through it, an

186
00:06:20,330 --> 00:06:21,070
annual inspection.

187
00:06:21,630 --> 00:06:22,710
You fly with instructors.

188
00:06:23,310 --> 00:06:24,970
In this case, a crew of three.

189
00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:29,290
So, they may not have completely been aware

190
00:06:29,290 --> 00:06:31,030
of the change that was made for that

191
00:06:31,030 --> 00:06:31,370
flight.

192
00:06:32,210 --> 00:06:35,090
And having flown at night, and this is

193
00:06:35,090 --> 00:06:36,870
the same thing with the drones over New

194
00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:37,250
Jersey.

195
00:06:38,050 --> 00:06:40,210
It's not easy to see things.

196
00:06:40,290 --> 00:06:41,210
It's not easy.

197
00:06:41,330 --> 00:06:45,270
He probably was looking at, or what they

198
00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:49,090
thought they were looking at was American Airlines

199
00:06:49,090 --> 00:06:53,790
3130, which was somewhat behind the aircraft that

200
00:06:53,790 --> 00:06:54,270
got hit.

201
00:06:54,930 --> 00:06:57,490
And they may have even had all eyes

202
00:06:57,490 --> 00:06:59,470
inside the cockpit.

203
00:06:59,890 --> 00:07:01,130
You know, this happens sometimes.

204
00:07:01,410 --> 00:07:04,030
It just happens where no one is looking

205
00:07:04,030 --> 00:07:04,550
outside.

206
00:07:04,830 --> 00:07:06,190
You're doing your procedures.

207
00:07:07,130 --> 00:07:08,690
You're looking at the instruments.

208
00:07:08,890 --> 00:07:09,630
It's a night flight.

209
00:07:09,750 --> 00:07:12,230
The whole point is to, you know, is

210
00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:13,050
flying at night.

211
00:07:13,150 --> 00:07:15,050
And it's just not easy to see things.

212
00:07:15,130 --> 00:07:16,650
And from what I could tell, I actually

213
00:07:16,650 --> 00:07:19,110
have a little bit of the audio because

214
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:21,830
you hear, the tower hears, you can hear

215
00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:23,370
the collision alert in the tower.

216
00:07:23,370 --> 00:07:25,290
And it's just seconds before it happens.

217
00:07:26,170 --> 00:07:27,530
That's the collision alert.

218
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:39,190
So, the helicopter says aircraft in sight, visual

219
00:07:39,190 --> 00:07:39,730
separation.

220
00:07:40,090 --> 00:07:41,770
He could not have been looking at that.

221
00:07:41,810 --> 00:07:43,130
And he's looking at it from the side.

222
00:07:43,650 --> 00:07:44,990
He must have been looking at a different

223
00:07:44,990 --> 00:07:45,470
aircraft.

224
00:07:45,870 --> 00:07:49,830
It's so easy when you're, I mean, it's

225
00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:50,670
happened so often.

226
00:07:50,670 --> 00:07:53,770
I've even, in the U.K., I was

227
00:07:53,770 --> 00:07:56,330
setting up for an approach, and it turns

228
00:07:56,330 --> 00:07:57,830
out I was looking at the wrong airport.

229
00:07:58,870 --> 00:08:01,550
I mean, at night, things are very different.

230
00:08:01,630 --> 00:08:04,290
This is why planes sometimes land on the

231
00:08:04,290 --> 00:08:04,930
taxiway.

232
00:08:05,210 --> 00:08:07,670
It's just, it's not easy to fly at

233
00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:07,950
night.

234
00:08:08,130 --> 00:08:08,970
And then here, of course.

235
00:08:14,030 --> 00:08:15,230
There it is, boom.

236
00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:17,250
He says visual, and then just seconds later,

237
00:08:17,370 --> 00:08:18,270
it crashes right into it.

238
00:08:18,270 --> 00:08:20,170
But there's nothing more, nothing less than a

239
00:08:20,170 --> 00:08:21,470
very bad day.

240
00:08:22,190 --> 00:08:25,910
Now, the president went out and talked to

241
00:08:25,910 --> 00:08:28,030
the press this morning, and I watched most

242
00:08:28,030 --> 00:08:28,530
of that.

243
00:08:29,690 --> 00:08:31,470
He said, we're going to get to the

244
00:08:31,470 --> 00:08:32,010
bottom of it.

245
00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:32,770
Mistakes were made.

246
00:08:32,830 --> 00:08:36,470
I mean, seriously, I think mistakes were made

247
00:08:36,470 --> 00:08:39,610
because when you have this helicopter at basically

248
00:08:39,610 --> 00:08:42,330
the same altitude within, you know, 50 feet

249
00:08:42,330 --> 00:08:45,570
of the incoming regional jet.

250
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:48,390
I mean, it would have been very easy

251
00:08:48,390 --> 00:08:51,270
for the controller to say, okay, I mean,

252
00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:52,670
you can do a lot with the helicopter.

253
00:08:52,890 --> 00:08:55,010
You can turn on a dime.

254
00:08:55,130 --> 00:08:55,530
You can do a lot.

255
00:08:55,630 --> 00:08:57,190
I don't know exactly how fast they're going,

256
00:08:57,230 --> 00:08:58,290
but you can do a lot of different

257
00:08:58,290 --> 00:08:58,770
things.

258
00:08:59,990 --> 00:09:03,610
And the controller took it for, I'm not

259
00:09:03,610 --> 00:09:05,690
blaming the controller or anybody really, took for

260
00:09:05,690 --> 00:09:09,310
granted that when the pilot said visual, that

261
00:09:09,310 --> 00:09:10,810
he saw it, and that it was visual.

262
00:09:11,330 --> 00:09:13,330
But they were already kind of, I mean,

263
00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:17,250
you know, when you, when you're flying and

264
00:09:17,250 --> 00:09:19,430
you see another plane, you know that you're

265
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:20,970
on a collision course when it looks like

266
00:09:20,970 --> 00:09:22,630
the other plane is not moving.

267
00:09:23,770 --> 00:09:25,710
So, and that's what you train for.

268
00:09:25,770 --> 00:09:27,190
It's like, I'm looking at this aircraft.

269
00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:28,350
It's not moving.

270
00:09:28,450 --> 00:09:30,530
That means I'm on a direct collision course

271
00:09:30,530 --> 00:09:32,950
with it, if you're at the same altitude.

272
00:09:33,570 --> 00:09:35,430
So, they just didn't see it.

273
00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:37,530
And then there's all this talk of night

274
00:09:37,530 --> 00:09:38,270
vision goggles.

275
00:09:38,690 --> 00:09:40,270
You know, you're not going to, it's going

276
00:09:40,270 --> 00:09:41,990
to be even worse with night vision goggles,

277
00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:43,610
all those lights of DC.

278
00:09:43,610 --> 00:09:45,190
That's going to bleed everything out.

279
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:47,830
So, it's just a horrible situation.

280
00:09:49,630 --> 00:09:52,710
And it's maybe not even necessarily anybody's fault

281
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:55,910
other than, you know, President Trump took it

282
00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:56,630
to DEI.

283
00:09:56,750 --> 00:09:57,690
He actually went there.

284
00:09:58,030 --> 00:10:00,870
Yeah, you know, that was going to be

285
00:10:00,870 --> 00:10:01,410
expected.

286
00:10:01,870 --> 00:10:02,130
Yeah.

287
00:10:02,330 --> 00:10:03,930
And he was, it was a light touch

288
00:10:03,930 --> 00:10:04,350
on it.

289
00:10:04,490 --> 00:10:07,350
But, so, this is just a bad day.

290
00:10:07,630 --> 00:10:09,470
And, you know, stuff happens.

291
00:10:10,050 --> 00:10:12,910
Lots of people die in traffic accidents all

292
00:10:12,910 --> 00:10:13,630
day long.

293
00:10:14,750 --> 00:10:15,610
30,000 a year.

294
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:16,190
Yeah.

295
00:10:16,290 --> 00:10:17,950
You don't hear about it.

296
00:10:19,390 --> 00:10:21,670
And this is just, it's a crappy one

297
00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:25,150
because people fly and everyone feels that pain.

298
00:10:25,570 --> 00:10:28,570
So, but the conspiracy, oh, it was runway

299
00:10:28,570 --> 00:10:29,110
33.

300
00:10:29,270 --> 00:10:31,050
Do you know how many runway 33's there

301
00:10:31,050 --> 00:10:31,390
are?

302
00:10:31,870 --> 00:10:33,930
It's a very typical runway heading.

303
00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:37,310
So, no conspiracy, just a bad day.

304
00:10:37,310 --> 00:10:39,370
Well, here's something for you to do.

305
00:10:40,350 --> 00:10:41,370
Explain why.

306
00:10:41,510 --> 00:10:44,490
There's not 33 runways at DCA.

307
00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:45,010
There's not.

308
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:46,690
There's about four.

309
00:10:46,970 --> 00:10:49,010
No, that's a compass direction.

310
00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:51,130
33 degrees?

311
00:10:51,510 --> 00:10:52,190
Yes, 33.

312
00:10:52,290 --> 00:10:53,990
Well, 330 degrees, yes.

313
00:10:54,450 --> 00:10:57,910
So, when you hear runway one, that's basically

314
00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:58,830
10.

315
00:10:59,890 --> 00:11:00,870
So, 10 degrees.

316
00:11:01,090 --> 00:11:02,610
It'll be the, or 100 degrees.

317
00:11:02,650 --> 00:11:05,810
It'll be the exact opposite of the 33.

318
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:06,570
No, I'm sorry.

319
00:11:06,650 --> 00:11:07,230
That's not true.

320
00:11:09,070 --> 00:11:11,070
I mean, so the typical headings you have

321
00:11:11,070 --> 00:11:15,310
on runways will be 27, 22, 33.

322
00:11:15,410 --> 00:11:17,030
It all has to do with the typical

323
00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:22,230
wind direction that is, that happens at that

324
00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:23,290
particular airfield.

325
00:11:24,230 --> 00:11:27,710
And there's a lot of 33 runway headings.

326
00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:30,270
So, you know, but then it's like, oh,

327
00:11:30,350 --> 00:11:32,590
33 runway heading and three people on the

328
00:11:32,590 --> 00:11:32,870
plane.

329
00:11:32,990 --> 00:11:33,370
Oh, yeah.

330
00:11:34,210 --> 00:11:36,770
Clearly remote control to kill who was on

331
00:11:36,770 --> 00:11:37,350
the plane.

332
00:11:37,510 --> 00:11:39,810
Well, it's sadly a bunch of figure skaters.

333
00:11:40,370 --> 00:11:41,890
Yeah, that was kind of tragic.

334
00:11:42,210 --> 00:11:43,350
It's always tragic.

335
00:11:43,450 --> 00:11:44,810
These things are always tragic.

336
00:11:45,750 --> 00:11:47,570
And what was on a continuity of government

337
00:11:47,570 --> 00:11:47,950
flight?

338
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:50,550
It was a training flight.

339
00:11:51,530 --> 00:11:51,750
Wow.

340
00:11:52,070 --> 00:11:53,850
No, there's been a lot of this sort

341
00:11:53,850 --> 00:11:54,130
of thing.

342
00:11:54,210 --> 00:11:54,770
It's annoying.

343
00:11:54,990 --> 00:11:55,850
I find it annoying.

344
00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:58,250
It's to be expected.

345
00:11:59,710 --> 00:12:01,250
It's to be expected.

346
00:12:01,250 --> 00:12:03,430
But it's just bad.

347
00:12:03,570 --> 00:12:04,150
It's just a bad day.

348
00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:06,390
And then the social media, there's a whole

349
00:12:06,390 --> 00:12:09,430
line of tweets I ran into with these

350
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:11,070
guys carping at each other.

351
00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:13,790
I'm a chopper pilot from the Vietnam War

352
00:12:13,790 --> 00:12:14,890
and blah, blah, blah.

353
00:12:14,990 --> 00:12:16,530
Oh, no, you're full of shit.

354
00:12:16,630 --> 00:12:18,150
You can't turn that thing off.

355
00:12:18,190 --> 00:12:20,250
You can't turn off the transponder.

356
00:12:20,970 --> 00:12:21,590
Yeah, you can.

357
00:12:21,650 --> 00:12:22,450
No, you can't.

358
00:12:22,710 --> 00:12:25,310
And it just goes on forever.

359
00:12:25,690 --> 00:12:26,510
I will mention that.

360
00:12:26,510 --> 00:12:29,650
So you have something called TCAS, Traffic Collision

361
00:12:29,650 --> 00:12:30,470
Alert System.

362
00:12:31,330 --> 00:12:34,490
And it's pretty much useless below 1,000

363
00:12:34,490 --> 00:12:36,450
feet because it's going to be going off

364
00:12:36,450 --> 00:12:37,210
all the time.

365
00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:40,490
And it also doesn't give a – below

366
00:12:40,490 --> 00:12:41,870
1,000 feet, it's not going to tell

367
00:12:41,870 --> 00:12:43,310
you to go up or go down.

368
00:12:43,390 --> 00:12:45,270
It's just going to say traffic, traffic.

369
00:12:45,850 --> 00:12:48,510
And in busy airspace, you'll hear that thing

370
00:12:48,510 --> 00:12:51,170
a lot because it's thousands of feet separation.

371
00:12:51,730 --> 00:12:53,450
So you're just going to hear this.

372
00:12:53,450 --> 00:12:55,370
And you just want to hope that no

373
00:12:55,370 --> 00:12:56,790
one's on the same – at the same

374
00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:57,250
altitude.

375
00:12:58,350 --> 00:13:02,170
But this, again, it's military and civilian sharing

376
00:13:02,170 --> 00:13:07,770
the same airspace, different frequencies, bad day.

377
00:13:07,930 --> 00:13:09,330
Day wrecker for everybody.

378
00:13:09,970 --> 00:13:10,470
That's it.

379
00:13:11,510 --> 00:13:14,330
There's nothing more to give you on that.

380
00:13:14,610 --> 00:13:16,210
And there will be a report, and we'll

381
00:13:16,210 --> 00:13:18,790
hear something, and I'm sure somebody will give

382
00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:18,890
it.

383
00:13:18,890 --> 00:13:20,210
Everyone got to get up and speak.

384
00:13:20,210 --> 00:13:21,790
You know, this was the first time for

385
00:13:21,790 --> 00:13:23,410
Pete Hegseth to speak.

386
00:13:25,970 --> 00:13:28,190
J.D. Vance, our vice president, came out

387
00:13:28,190 --> 00:13:28,530
and spoke.

388
00:13:28,630 --> 00:13:30,870
Everybody was all in on this because it

389
00:13:30,870 --> 00:13:31,250
was bad.

390
00:13:31,370 --> 00:13:33,450
And, of course, you want to keep the

391
00:13:33,450 --> 00:13:35,210
– I'll just be cynical about it.

392
00:13:35,230 --> 00:13:37,350
You want to keep the attention away from

393
00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:42,250
the televised hearings, which is what it definitely

394
00:13:42,250 --> 00:13:45,150
did, which – I don't even know if

395
00:13:45,150 --> 00:13:46,970
anyone cares about these anymore.

396
00:13:46,970 --> 00:13:51,650
They're so performative and everybody trying to get

397
00:13:51,650 --> 00:13:53,210
their sound bite in.

398
00:13:53,390 --> 00:13:55,270
And, you know, it's a yes or no

399
00:13:55,270 --> 00:13:55,870
question.

400
00:13:56,590 --> 00:13:58,970
I love the yes or no thing.

401
00:13:59,050 --> 00:14:00,830
It's just – I'll take that as a

402
00:14:00,830 --> 00:14:01,130
no.

403
00:14:01,310 --> 00:14:01,510
Yeah.

404
00:14:02,570 --> 00:14:04,230
I'll take that as a yes.

405
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:06,470
It really doesn't work anymore as far as

406
00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:07,130
I'm concerned.

407
00:14:07,330 --> 00:14:08,250
It just doesn't work.

408
00:14:08,330 --> 00:14:10,050
Yeah, but I think it does work.

409
00:14:10,290 --> 00:14:10,830
For who?

410
00:14:12,270 --> 00:14:14,430
We've been watching this yes or no thing.

411
00:14:14,430 --> 00:14:17,810
It works for the guy who's running for

412
00:14:17,810 --> 00:14:18,470
re-election.

413
00:14:18,690 --> 00:14:19,050
Yeah, okay.

414
00:14:19,290 --> 00:14:20,090
Good point.

415
00:14:20,190 --> 00:14:23,170
It's not working for the hearings because everyone

416
00:14:23,170 --> 00:14:24,530
knows they're all full of crap.

417
00:14:24,770 --> 00:14:26,210
And, in fact, Kennedy himself – I have

418
00:14:26,210 --> 00:14:27,530
a bunch of Kennedy clips, obviously.

419
00:14:27,690 --> 00:14:28,110
Yeah, that's good.

420
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:31,290
And Kennedy himself – I don't have this

421
00:14:31,290 --> 00:14:33,070
clip, but he says, you know, you guys

422
00:14:33,070 --> 00:14:36,010
used to all be my friends, all you

423
00:14:36,010 --> 00:14:36,550
Democrats.

424
00:14:37,810 --> 00:14:39,710
And I know what you're doing.

425
00:14:39,890 --> 00:14:41,610
And it's like this is what you have

426
00:14:41,610 --> 00:14:42,050
to do.

427
00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:43,610
And he goes on and on.

428
00:14:43,610 --> 00:14:44,890
Because he does.

429
00:14:45,010 --> 00:14:45,830
He's not an idiot.

430
00:14:47,650 --> 00:14:50,210
But to listen to these guys widen –

431
00:14:50,210 --> 00:14:53,390
and then the thing that I like the

432
00:14:53,390 --> 00:14:56,170
most is that every one of these guys

433
00:14:56,170 --> 00:14:58,030
who slammed on Kennedy – because there's a

434
00:14:58,030 --> 00:15:00,350
real strong movement to get him in here.

435
00:15:01,210 --> 00:15:05,650
All these TikTokers and Twitters and Tweeters and

436
00:15:05,650 --> 00:15:07,550
all the rest of them are coming out

437
00:15:07,550 --> 00:15:09,750
with, well, I can see why Elizabeth Warren

438
00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:09,910
didn't.

439
00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:13,350
She took $1.2 million from Big Pharma,

440
00:15:13,510 --> 00:15:16,110
$1.1 million from her, this and that,

441
00:15:16,170 --> 00:15:17,970
and they're just going after these people.

442
00:15:18,510 --> 00:15:21,570
Well, I just wanted to say on Elizabeth

443
00:15:21,570 --> 00:15:24,990
Warren, we know from firsthand sources that she

444
00:15:24,990 --> 00:15:31,090
took significant amounts of money from Bose to

445
00:15:31,090 --> 00:15:32,510
get this hearing aid scam.

446
00:15:32,510 --> 00:15:33,550
Right, the hearing aid thing.

447
00:15:33,550 --> 00:15:34,730
This is one of your pet peeves.

448
00:15:34,730 --> 00:15:37,190
Well, it is because Bose – and by

449
00:15:37,190 --> 00:15:38,430
the way, it failed for them – but

450
00:15:38,430 --> 00:15:42,710
Bose had hearing devices which you can get

451
00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:43,710
over the counter.

452
00:15:44,490 --> 00:15:47,010
And they were called amplifiers or hearing –

453
00:15:47,010 --> 00:15:49,050
no, I think it was hearing amplifiers.

454
00:15:49,290 --> 00:15:49,910
Enhancers, I think.

455
00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:52,210
They couldn't call it hearing aids.

456
00:15:52,830 --> 00:15:55,770
She took the money, and she got everyone

457
00:15:55,770 --> 00:15:58,130
together, and then Apple was a part of

458
00:15:58,130 --> 00:15:58,610
this too.

459
00:15:58,910 --> 00:16:01,470
So they could call either their software or

460
00:16:01,470 --> 00:16:02,650
their hardware devices.

461
00:16:02,650 --> 00:16:05,150
They could call them hearing aids, and you

462
00:16:05,150 --> 00:16:07,910
can get them without assistance from an audiologist,

463
00:16:08,070 --> 00:16:10,930
which is just – it's stupid.

464
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:15,450
If you really care, if you're going deaf

465
00:16:15,450 --> 00:16:17,930
because you've been – if you don't care

466
00:16:17,930 --> 00:16:19,790
about your hearing, just want to amp it

467
00:16:19,790 --> 00:16:22,230
up and you don't want to hear Fidelity

468
00:16:22,230 --> 00:16:24,450
and be able to fine-tune it, okay,

469
00:16:24,530 --> 00:16:26,490
don't go to an audiologist.

470
00:16:26,730 --> 00:16:29,470
But from my own personal experience, having an

471
00:16:29,470 --> 00:16:31,830
audiologist is a good thing.

472
00:16:31,830 --> 00:16:35,370
Because you may not know exactly what you

473
00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:38,270
should be hearing, and these devices that shoot

474
00:16:38,270 --> 00:16:40,910
tones into your ear, and then AI discovers

475
00:16:40,910 --> 00:16:42,110
the exact frequency.

476
00:16:42,290 --> 00:16:44,290
No, no, it's just not true.

477
00:16:44,510 --> 00:16:45,350
It's like glasses.

478
00:16:46,070 --> 00:16:48,730
You have to have the guy going, okay,

479
00:16:48,910 --> 00:16:49,590
how about this?

480
00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:50,290
How about that?

481
00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:51,910
And you're going, I don't know.

482
00:16:52,110 --> 00:16:53,050
Go back again.

483
00:16:53,530 --> 00:16:55,010
That's just how it is.

484
00:16:55,190 --> 00:16:55,950
A or B.

485
00:16:56,430 --> 00:16:57,630
A, back again.

486
00:16:57,670 --> 00:16:58,490
A or B.

487
00:16:58,610 --> 00:16:59,790
This one or that one.

488
00:16:59,890 --> 00:17:00,230
Okay.

489
00:17:00,470 --> 00:17:01,230
Let's try this.

490
00:17:01,230 --> 00:17:02,210
Oh, you can't see at all?

491
00:17:02,290 --> 00:17:02,390
No.

492
00:17:02,430 --> 00:17:02,570
Okay.

493
00:17:04,150 --> 00:17:05,089
Okay, how about now?

494
00:17:05,650 --> 00:17:06,950
It's just – that is how you –

495
00:17:06,950 --> 00:17:08,450
it's not an exact science.

496
00:17:09,310 --> 00:17:10,790
So she took money for that.

497
00:17:10,890 --> 00:17:12,890
There's a whole – No, she is a

498
00:17:12,890 --> 00:17:13,569
corrupt woman.

499
00:17:13,710 --> 00:17:13,829
Yeah.

500
00:17:14,990 --> 00:17:16,569
I mean – And she is like –

501
00:17:16,569 --> 00:17:17,609
it's an embarrassment.

502
00:17:18,250 --> 00:17:21,210
And – but Wyden was even worse.

503
00:17:21,310 --> 00:17:23,069
I mean he's opened it up with a

504
00:17:23,069 --> 00:17:24,450
real – let me play a clip.

505
00:17:24,470 --> 00:17:24,790
Let me see.

506
00:17:24,869 --> 00:17:26,990
I think I have the list, I think.

507
00:17:26,990 --> 00:17:29,290
I got the list of a lot of

508
00:17:29,290 --> 00:17:31,010
these people and what they took from Big

509
00:17:31,010 --> 00:17:31,430
Pharma.

510
00:17:31,670 --> 00:17:32,450
And you're right.

511
00:17:32,790 --> 00:17:35,050
Now that we all know how it works

512
00:17:35,050 --> 00:17:38,150
and I think a lot of people –

513
00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:38,510
and you're right.

514
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:40,950
This is where social media of course does

515
00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:45,550
a reasonably good job of saying, hey, this

516
00:17:45,550 --> 00:17:47,870
guy is defending this or this lady is

517
00:17:47,870 --> 00:17:50,870
defending this because this is who they represent.

518
00:17:51,030 --> 00:17:52,530
They don't represent people.

519
00:17:52,530 --> 00:17:58,150
They represent big interests, pharmaceutical interests being one

520
00:17:58,150 --> 00:17:58,430
of them.

521
00:17:59,490 --> 00:18:01,810
And this is what D.C. is full

522
00:18:01,810 --> 00:18:04,910
of, is dinners and lunches and hangouts.

523
00:18:05,110 --> 00:18:07,390
And I think a lot of them believe

524
00:18:07,390 --> 00:18:07,570
it.

525
00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:07,990
I mean graft.

526
00:18:08,270 --> 00:18:09,490
Let's use the right word.

527
00:18:09,910 --> 00:18:10,750
Graft or grift.

528
00:18:10,850 --> 00:18:11,590
Which one is it?

529
00:18:12,190 --> 00:18:12,630
Graft.

530
00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:13,270
Yeah.

531
00:18:13,490 --> 00:18:15,730
And I think a lot of people believe

532
00:18:15,730 --> 00:18:15,830
it.

533
00:18:17,150 --> 00:18:20,570
Here's the 40 studies that say that –

534
00:18:20,570 --> 00:18:24,490
who was that horrible witch woman?

535
00:18:24,570 --> 00:18:24,890
No, no.

536
00:18:25,010 --> 00:18:25,610
It was some woman.

537
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:26,090
Oh, Smith?

538
00:18:26,470 --> 00:18:27,650
No, no.

539
00:18:27,950 --> 00:18:30,390
It was about – I don't even remember

540
00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:30,890
what it was about.

541
00:18:31,230 --> 00:18:32,650
They just brought up – it was like

542
00:18:32,650 --> 00:18:35,070
bring your kitchen sink and dump it on

543
00:18:35,070 --> 00:18:37,110
Kennedy's head because this is going to be

544
00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:37,910
fun, people.

545
00:18:38,630 --> 00:18:39,410
That's what it was.

546
00:18:39,470 --> 00:18:39,690
All right.

547
00:18:39,770 --> 00:18:40,930
Why don't you go ahead and start with

548
00:18:40,930 --> 00:18:42,170
some of these because we might as well

549
00:18:42,170 --> 00:18:43,410
get some of them out of the way.

550
00:18:44,090 --> 00:18:45,590
Yeah, and I do want to say I

551
00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:47,650
don't have the clip and you might –

552
00:18:47,650 --> 00:18:48,610
I don't know if you have it or

553
00:18:48,610 --> 00:18:48,710
not.

554
00:18:48,790 --> 00:18:49,090
I have a couple.

555
00:18:49,390 --> 00:18:50,470
I know, but do you have the clip

556
00:18:50,470 --> 00:18:51,210
of Shanahan?

557
00:18:51,730 --> 00:18:53,030
No, don't have Shanahan.

558
00:18:53,550 --> 00:18:54,970
What was – I missed the Shanahan.

559
00:18:55,070 --> 00:18:59,010
Shanahan, the vice president for Kennedy's campaign, the

560
00:18:59,010 --> 00:19:00,070
billionaire girl.

561
00:19:00,170 --> 00:19:01,530
Yeah, yes.

562
00:19:01,710 --> 00:19:03,530
She came – I got to get this

563
00:19:03,530 --> 00:19:03,690
clip.

564
00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:04,810
Maybe I'll run it on Sunday.

565
00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:09,930
She threatened, literally threatened everybody who votes no

566
00:19:09,930 --> 00:19:11,950
on Kennedy with – she's going to take

567
00:19:11,950 --> 00:19:14,190
her resources, and she's got plenty of them,

568
00:19:14,570 --> 00:19:18,930
to go primary these people, and she named

569
00:19:18,930 --> 00:19:19,290
names.

570
00:19:19,290 --> 00:19:19,870
Oh, here it is.

571
00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:20,370
Here it is.

572
00:19:20,770 --> 00:19:21,210
Yes, please.

573
00:19:21,250 --> 00:19:21,690
Hey, everyone.

574
00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:24,490
Tomorrow is a pivotal moment in our nation's

575
00:19:24,490 --> 00:19:24,750
history.

576
00:19:24,890 --> 00:19:26,990
At 10 a.m. Eastern time, RFK will

577
00:19:26,990 --> 00:19:29,330
sit in front of the Senate Finance Committee

578
00:19:29,330 --> 00:19:32,090
for his confirmation hearing to be our nation's

579
00:19:32,090 --> 00:19:34,430
next secretary of health and human services.

580
00:19:34,430 --> 00:19:37,190
I urge everyone to call their U.S.

581
00:19:37,270 --> 00:19:39,330
senators over the following days and demand they

582
00:19:39,330 --> 00:19:41,270
vote yes on Bobby's nomination.

583
00:19:41,870 --> 00:19:43,070
He is more than qualified.

584
00:19:43,330 --> 00:19:46,090
He's proven, principled, and prepared to lead.

585
00:19:46,510 --> 00:19:48,450
I'll list – I'll share a list below

586
00:19:48,450 --> 00:19:49,630
of key senators.

587
00:19:50,290 --> 00:19:52,350
If they represent your state, they need to

588
00:19:52,350 --> 00:19:53,030
hear from you.

589
00:19:53,970 --> 00:19:56,470
If they don't, please call your own senator

590
00:19:56,470 --> 00:19:57,850
and ask them to vote yes.

591
00:19:58,030 --> 00:19:59,970
We need as many votes as we can

592
00:19:59,970 --> 00:20:00,190
get.

593
00:20:01,110 --> 00:20:03,810
So, this hasn't been widely reported, but in

594
00:20:03,810 --> 00:20:06,310
2020, I cut large checks to Chuck Schumer

595
00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:09,270
to help Democrats flip two Senate seats in

596
00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:10,770
Georgia from red to blue.

597
00:20:11,570 --> 00:20:15,310
The two candidates I helped elect, Senator Raphael

598
00:20:15,310 --> 00:20:19,530
Warnock and Senator Jon Ossoff, please know I

599
00:20:19,530 --> 00:20:21,630
will be watching your votes very closely.

600
00:20:22,170 --> 00:20:24,070
I will make it my personal mission that

601
00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:25,690
you lose your seats in the Senate if

602
00:20:25,690 --> 00:20:28,250
you vote against the future health of America's

603
00:20:28,250 --> 00:20:28,550
children.

604
00:20:29,550 --> 00:20:32,090
And more than that, I also want to

605
00:20:32,090 --> 00:20:35,430
say to Senators Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Lisa

606
00:20:35,430 --> 00:20:39,210
Markofsky, Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Tom Tillis, James

607
00:20:39,210 --> 00:20:43,090
Lankford, Cory Booker, John Fetterman, Bernie Sanders, and

608
00:20:43,090 --> 00:20:46,530
Catherine Cortez Masto, this is a bipartisan message,

609
00:20:46,850 --> 00:20:48,450
and it comes directly from me.

610
00:20:48,650 --> 00:20:50,730
While Bobby may be willing to play nice,

611
00:20:50,910 --> 00:20:51,450
I won't.

612
00:20:51,450 --> 00:20:53,570
If you vote against him, I will personally

613
00:20:53,570 --> 00:20:56,830
fund challengers to primary you in your next

614
00:20:56,830 --> 00:20:59,770
election, and I will enlist hundreds of thousands

615
00:20:59,770 --> 00:21:00,570
to join me.

616
00:21:00,990 --> 00:21:01,710
Yes, call me!

617
00:21:01,970 --> 00:21:03,930
Big Pharma and Big Ag have exploited us

618
00:21:03,930 --> 00:21:05,230
for far too long.

619
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:05,990
It ends now.

620
00:21:06,690 --> 00:21:08,850
You're either on the side of transparency and

621
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:11,250
accountability, or you are standing in the way.

622
00:21:11,790 --> 00:21:12,510
The choice is yours.

623
00:21:12,710 --> 00:21:13,650
Please choose wisely.

624
00:21:14,970 --> 00:21:17,650
I thought this was a bit much.

625
00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:20,590
Well, that's how it goes, you know.

626
00:21:20,590 --> 00:21:23,350
It could be going that way because, you

627
00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:25,370
know, Musk is still irked about his one

628
00:21:25,370 --> 00:21:26,350
kid transitioning.

629
00:21:27,230 --> 00:21:29,450
But she took it to the level that

630
00:21:29,450 --> 00:21:30,570
I've never seen anyone do.

631
00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:32,230
This is open threats.

632
00:21:32,610 --> 00:21:33,610
Well, what's wrong with that?

633
00:21:34,690 --> 00:21:35,950
Well, that's the question.

634
00:21:36,170 --> 00:21:39,530
I mean, until now, it's always been considered

635
00:21:39,530 --> 00:21:40,310
bad form.

636
00:21:40,510 --> 00:21:42,070
I mean, you do what Soros did.

637
00:21:42,330 --> 00:21:45,370
You create the open society and then go

638
00:21:45,370 --> 00:21:46,010
behind the...

639
00:21:46,010 --> 00:21:47,670
No, no, that spell is broken.

640
00:21:47,790 --> 00:21:48,490
It's long gone.

641
00:21:48,770 --> 00:21:50,170
It's balls to the wall.

642
00:21:50,290 --> 00:21:50,870
We're to the mat.

643
00:21:50,910 --> 00:21:51,850
Have you seen our president?

644
00:21:52,490 --> 00:21:53,130
No, no, no.

645
00:21:53,470 --> 00:21:55,070
Hey, hey, you don't want to take these

646
00:21:55,070 --> 00:21:55,990
people.

647
00:21:56,130 --> 00:21:57,290
We're sending back tariffs.

648
00:21:58,270 --> 00:21:59,630
Next week, double tariffs.

649
00:21:59,910 --> 00:22:01,370
Oh, now you want to do it.

650
00:22:01,570 --> 00:22:02,610
No, this is just...

651
00:22:02,610 --> 00:22:03,170
it's threats.

652
00:22:03,410 --> 00:22:03,890
It's threats.

653
00:22:04,010 --> 00:22:05,130
This is who we are.

654
00:22:05,510 --> 00:22:07,510
That's who we are now.

655
00:22:09,030 --> 00:22:11,870
So we open up with Kennedy and here's

656
00:22:11,870 --> 00:22:12,330
Wyden.

657
00:22:13,610 --> 00:22:17,330
This is a very short clip of him.

658
00:22:17,790 --> 00:22:20,930
He went on for five, six minutes slamming

659
00:22:20,930 --> 00:22:21,210
Kennedy.

660
00:22:21,350 --> 00:22:22,930
Now, Wyden, of course, took a lot of

661
00:22:22,930 --> 00:22:23,970
money from Big Pharma.

662
00:22:24,230 --> 00:22:25,870
So there's a good reason for him to

663
00:22:25,870 --> 00:22:26,010
be...

664
00:22:26,010 --> 00:22:28,310
and he is the co-chairman of the

665
00:22:28,310 --> 00:22:29,510
finance committee.

666
00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:32,870
So he got to speak and yak away

667
00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:33,510
all he wanted.

668
00:22:33,710 --> 00:22:34,090
And here we...

669
00:22:34,090 --> 00:22:35,330
this is the best part, I think.

670
00:22:35,330 --> 00:22:38,810
Committee staff have examined thousands of pages.

671
00:22:39,010 --> 00:22:40,350
I forgot how he talks.

672
00:22:40,750 --> 00:22:41,590
That's great.

673
00:22:41,710 --> 00:22:43,910
Yeah, he talks like a...

674
00:22:43,910 --> 00:22:44,970
it's not even...

675
00:22:44,970 --> 00:22:46,750
I don't know how to explain it.

676
00:22:46,790 --> 00:22:48,030
It's Jason Calacanis.

677
00:22:49,070 --> 00:22:53,290
Committee staff have examined thousands of pages of

678
00:22:53,290 --> 00:22:56,530
statements, books and podcast transcripts.

679
00:22:57,130 --> 00:22:57,630
Podcasts?

680
00:22:57,630 --> 00:22:59,610
In a review of his record.

681
00:22:59,790 --> 00:23:00,530
I just need to...

682
00:23:00,530 --> 00:23:01,730
I just need to stop for a second.

683
00:23:01,930 --> 00:23:03,910
Podcasts have come quite a way, haven't they,

684
00:23:03,930 --> 00:23:04,150
John?

685
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:07,110
Podcasts have come quite a way.

686
00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:08,550
They're right in their media now.

687
00:23:09,270 --> 00:23:10,310
It's mainstream, baby.

688
00:23:11,110 --> 00:23:11,950
It's mainstream.

689
00:23:12,150 --> 00:23:12,910
No, it's mainstream.

690
00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:13,810
Podcasts is...

691
00:23:13,810 --> 00:23:14,710
It is mainstream.

692
00:23:14,930 --> 00:23:15,490
Yeah, it is.

693
00:23:15,570 --> 00:23:16,890
And people joke about...

694
00:23:16,890 --> 00:23:18,170
I was watching one of these, you know,

695
00:23:18,210 --> 00:23:19,430
the Fox shows where they talk about, oh,

696
00:23:19,770 --> 00:23:20,830
I guess she's going to quit.

697
00:23:20,970 --> 00:23:23,330
Or, you know, they're talking about Acosta for

698
00:23:23,330 --> 00:23:25,410
one guy who's going to do a podcast.

699
00:23:27,450 --> 00:23:29,070
And somebody says he's going to do a

700
00:23:29,070 --> 00:23:31,250
podcast and a person did the joke.

701
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:32,850
I've done it a million times, which is,

702
00:23:32,990 --> 00:23:34,010
well, who isn't?

703
00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:34,330
Yeah.

704
00:23:34,390 --> 00:23:36,950
You know, I mean, it's become such a...

705
00:23:36,950 --> 00:23:38,310
it's like a trope.

706
00:23:38,790 --> 00:23:40,250
I have thoughts about that for later.

707
00:23:40,870 --> 00:23:44,810
The receipts show that Mr. Kennedy has embraced

708
00:23:44,810 --> 00:23:49,750
conspiracy theories, quacks, charlatans, especially when it comes

709
00:23:49,750 --> 00:23:53,170
to the safety and efficacy of vaccines.

710
00:23:53,170 --> 00:23:56,390
He has made it his life's work to

711
00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:59,930
sow doubt and discourage parents from getting their

712
00:23:59,930 --> 00:24:02,550
kids life-saving vaccines.

713
00:24:02,850 --> 00:24:05,770
It has been lucrative for him and put

714
00:24:05,770 --> 00:24:07,970
him on the verge of immense power.

715
00:24:08,150 --> 00:24:11,050
This is the profile of someone who chases

716
00:24:11,050 --> 00:24:16,630
money and influence wherever they lead, even if

717
00:24:16,630 --> 00:24:19,290
that may mean the tragic deaths of children

718
00:24:19,290 --> 00:24:21,550
and other vulnerable people.

719
00:24:21,550 --> 00:24:23,990
See, I don't think this works anymore.

720
00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:25,950
First of all, it's a blatant lie because

721
00:24:25,950 --> 00:24:30,330
he's been very clear about safe and tested

722
00:24:30,330 --> 00:24:30,990
vaccines.

723
00:24:31,190 --> 00:24:32,610
He's been very clear about that.

724
00:24:33,770 --> 00:24:35,550
And I'm sure that Wyden knows it.

725
00:24:35,570 --> 00:24:36,810
They keep lying and lying and lying because

726
00:24:36,810 --> 00:24:38,610
they don't want this guy in.

727
00:24:39,030 --> 00:24:44,850
No, but the whole world knows, even the...

728
00:24:44,850 --> 00:24:47,010
I like the way you're so cavalier with

729
00:24:47,010 --> 00:24:48,430
this statement you just made.

730
00:24:49,470 --> 00:24:49,810
What?

731
00:24:49,810 --> 00:24:51,830
The whole world knows what?

732
00:24:52,130 --> 00:24:53,530
Well, I'm about to finish the statement.

733
00:24:53,650 --> 00:24:55,830
You interrupted my statement and said I was

734
00:24:55,830 --> 00:24:57,610
cavalier before I even finished it.

735
00:24:57,630 --> 00:25:00,070
Because the premise, I'm already disagreeing with whatever

736
00:25:00,070 --> 00:25:00,670
you're going to say.

737
00:25:01,370 --> 00:25:05,070
I believe that the entire world knows that

738
00:25:05,070 --> 00:25:06,750
maybe I'm not.

739
00:25:06,850 --> 00:25:08,070
Maybe you're right.

740
00:25:08,170 --> 00:25:09,030
Maybe I'm cavalier.

741
00:25:09,330 --> 00:25:11,970
A large percentage of the world knows that

742
00:25:11,970 --> 00:25:12,470
the COVID...

743
00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:13,490
Uh-oh, you changed it.

744
00:25:13,730 --> 00:25:15,170
Yes, I said maybe you're right.

745
00:25:15,250 --> 00:25:15,670
It's OK.

746
00:25:15,770 --> 00:25:17,010
Would you like a medal, a little star

747
00:25:17,010 --> 00:25:17,570
on your forehead?

748
00:25:17,590 --> 00:25:18,770
Yes, I would, actually.

749
00:25:18,770 --> 00:25:21,310
You're a good doobie.

750
00:25:21,710 --> 00:25:25,850
A large percentage of the population realizes that

751
00:25:25,850 --> 00:25:29,610
the vaccine for COVID was not effective.

752
00:25:29,890 --> 00:25:31,550
It did not prevent transmission.

753
00:25:31,830 --> 00:25:33,810
It did not prevent you from getting COVID.

754
00:25:34,390 --> 00:25:37,150
And I think a portion of that knows

755
00:25:37,150 --> 00:25:39,350
it was probably not safe and effective.

756
00:25:39,950 --> 00:25:42,070
And they're wondering why they keep getting sick.

757
00:25:42,850 --> 00:25:45,670
So, you know, people are not all in

758
00:25:45,670 --> 00:25:46,890
on vaccines anymore.

759
00:25:46,890 --> 00:25:49,830
And the more people hear about the...

760
00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:51,430
And I think this is a small percentage

761
00:25:51,430 --> 00:25:54,030
who realize that in the United States that

762
00:25:54,030 --> 00:25:55,690
there's immunity.

763
00:25:56,370 --> 00:25:58,630
As in you can't get sued if your

764
00:25:58,630 --> 00:25:59,790
product is defective.

765
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:01,710
So, this is...

766
00:26:01,710 --> 00:26:02,610
It's just...

767
00:26:02,610 --> 00:26:05,710
I don't know how many people are buying

768
00:26:05,710 --> 00:26:05,850
it.

769
00:26:05,870 --> 00:26:07,770
But that doesn't matter because it comes down

770
00:26:07,770 --> 00:26:08,790
to the vote, ultimately.

771
00:26:09,530 --> 00:26:11,330
No one's going to call up their senator.

772
00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:12,590
Who does that anymore?

773
00:26:12,970 --> 00:26:13,870
Can I text him?

774
00:26:13,950 --> 00:26:14,910
Can I send him a tweet?

775
00:26:15,270 --> 00:26:16,330
Can I do a TikTok?

776
00:26:16,690 --> 00:26:18,030
This is passive politics.

777
00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:19,290
I'm going to get on TikTok.

778
00:26:19,530 --> 00:26:21,390
I'm going to give Wyden a piece of

779
00:26:21,390 --> 00:26:22,050
my mind.

780
00:26:22,190 --> 00:26:23,050
No one cares.

781
00:26:23,770 --> 00:26:24,550
No one cares.

782
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:27,100
All right.

783
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,020
Back to you, Bob.

784
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:29,900
Did you...

785
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:30,820
Was that the end of the clip?

786
00:26:31,020 --> 00:26:31,380
That was...

787
00:26:31,380 --> 00:26:31,540
Yes.

788
00:26:31,620 --> 00:26:32,580
And the end of my rant.

789
00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:36,260
Well...

790
00:26:36,260 --> 00:26:38,400
Not much of a rant, Curry.

791
00:26:38,820 --> 00:26:39,220
Whatever.

792
00:26:39,980 --> 00:26:41,200
Whatever, he says.

793
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:41,600
Okay.

794
00:26:42,180 --> 00:26:42,960
Gloves are off.

795
00:26:43,180 --> 00:26:44,260
Yeah, I'm like a woman now.

796
00:26:44,300 --> 00:26:45,220
Gloves are off.

797
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:48,520
Okay.

798
00:26:48,620 --> 00:26:50,300
What would you like to play next?

799
00:26:50,420 --> 00:26:51,520
I have Kennedy clips.

800
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,240
I've got a bunch of them here.

801
00:26:52,380 --> 00:26:53,400
Let's go with...

802
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,680
One of my favorites was Bennett.

803
00:26:54,860 --> 00:26:57,380
This Colorado senator comes up and he's another

804
00:26:57,380 --> 00:26:58,120
stooge.

805
00:26:58,620 --> 00:27:01,840
And he's the guy who was the most...

806
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:02,700
Yes, no.

807
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:03,280
Yes, no.

808
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:04,020
It's just yes or no.

809
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:04,860
It's a yes or no question.

810
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:06,480
I take that as a yes.

811
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,200
Say that it targets black and white people

812
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,580
but spared Ashkenazi...

813
00:27:10,580 --> 00:27:12,040
I quoted a study...

814
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,200
I quoted an NIH study that showed that...

815
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,280
I take that as a yes.

816
00:27:16,380 --> 00:27:17,360
I have to move on.

817
00:27:17,820 --> 00:27:18,760
I have to move on.

818
00:27:18,940 --> 00:27:19,040
Yeah.

819
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,840
Did you say that Lyme disease is highly

820
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,400
likely a materially engineered bioweapon?

821
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,980
I made sure I put in the highly

822
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:29,460
likely.

823
00:27:29,860 --> 00:27:32,000
Did you say Lyme disease is a highly

824
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,340
likely militarily engineered bioweapon?

825
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,620
I probably did say that.

826
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:38,900
Did you say that...

827
00:27:39,460 --> 00:27:39,940
Okay.

828
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,520
I want all of our colleagues to hear

829
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,460
it, Mr. Kennedy.

830
00:27:43,620 --> 00:27:45,080
I want them to hear it.

831
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:45,900
You said yes.

832
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,660
Did you say that exposure to pesticides causes

833
00:27:49,660 --> 00:27:51,860
children to become transgender?

834
00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:53,720
No, I never said that.

835
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:54,020
Okay.

836
00:27:54,140 --> 00:27:55,800
I have the record that I'll give to

837
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,700
the chairman and he can make his judgment

838
00:27:57,700 --> 00:27:58,820
about what you said.

839
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:00,120
Yeah.

840
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,240
Oh, that's...

841
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,480
Which is a fungicide, I believe.

842
00:28:03,540 --> 00:28:05,800
It's not a pesticide that causes the frogs

843
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,320
to go gay.

844
00:28:06,420 --> 00:28:06,560
Yeah.

845
00:28:06,660 --> 00:28:07,260
It's the...

846
00:28:07,260 --> 00:28:08,300
You know what it's called.

847
00:28:08,380 --> 00:28:08,820
What's it called?

848
00:28:09,140 --> 00:28:10,180
You know, it's funny.

849
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,980
I can't remember because I played a whole

850
00:28:11,980 --> 00:28:14,140
presentation on this about six years ago.

851
00:28:14,140 --> 00:28:15,300
You have something to say about me.

852
00:28:15,540 --> 00:28:17,140
And the professor at Cal who studied this

853
00:28:17,140 --> 00:28:17,600
to death.

854
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:20,380
Yes.

855
00:28:21,940 --> 00:28:24,900
And it's possible that is part of...

856
00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:26,620
And this guy is going nuts.

857
00:28:26,820 --> 00:28:29,580
But the Lyme disease thing, which doesn't crop

858
00:28:29,580 --> 00:28:31,420
up much, but it does.

859
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:32,000
Plum Island.

860
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,640
That's the Plum Island story in New York.

861
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,360
Yeah, Plum Island.

862
00:28:35,460 --> 00:28:35,860
Exactly.

863
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:36,940
I'm glad you remembered that.

864
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:37,500
Yeah, exactly.

865
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:39,400
Yeah, the Plum Island, which is where Lyme

866
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,360
disease seemed to have originated from.

867
00:28:41,420 --> 00:28:42,020
Originated from, yeah.

868
00:28:42,020 --> 00:28:46,740
And it was a military bioweapons lab.

869
00:28:47,340 --> 00:28:49,340
And all of a sudden, from this area,

870
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,300
this new disease, Lyme disease, appears.

871
00:28:53,260 --> 00:28:53,980
And so this...

872
00:28:53,980 --> 00:28:54,300
Yeah.

873
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,060
And so this Bennett guy is an asshole,

874
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,180
typical Colorado guy.

875
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:00,080
Well...

876
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:00,420
All right.

877
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,340
Yeah, exactly.

878
00:29:01,540 --> 00:29:01,880
Colorado.

879
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:02,320
I'm sorry.

880
00:29:02,460 --> 00:29:03,340
Sorry, sorry, Colorado.

881
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:06,240
Now, White House was given five minutes, so

882
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,220
he bitched about that.

883
00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:08,840
And so he decided not to ask any

884
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,320
questions, but just reamed Kennedy.

885
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,080
And I just want to play the beginning

886
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,120
of how he prefaced this.

887
00:29:15,460 --> 00:29:17,300
I'm looking for White House.

888
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,000
It should be Kennedy.

889
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:19,660
Oh, I got him.

890
00:29:19,660 --> 00:29:19,760
I got him.

891
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:20,160
I got him.

892
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,060
Senator Whitehouse.

893
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,040
Thank you, Chairman.

894
00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:26,440
Mr. Kennedy, I only have five minutes with

895
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:26,700
you.

896
00:29:26,980 --> 00:29:27,480
So...

897
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,980
And I've got a lot of experience with

898
00:29:29,980 --> 00:29:32,660
CMS.  So you're just going to have to

899
00:29:32,660 --> 00:29:33,120
listen.

900
00:29:33,580 --> 00:29:34,920
Now, this is another thing.

901
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:39,680
People are no longer interested in your soundbites

902
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,700
and your, I only have five minutes.

903
00:29:41,900 --> 00:29:44,700
People have become used to the Joe Rogan

904
00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:45,520
three hours.

905
00:29:46,420 --> 00:29:48,120
They're like, what is this?

906
00:29:48,460 --> 00:29:49,400
What is this nonsense?

907
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:50,180
Talk.

908
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,900
Give the guy some time.

909
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,620
Talk about whatever it is.

910
00:29:54,420 --> 00:29:58,760
The whole thing is outdated, wrong, antiquated, and

911
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,860
an arachnonism, and something like that.

912
00:30:02,140 --> 00:30:02,820
Arachnonism.

913
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:03,760
Arachnonism.

914
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:06,940
Anachronism.

915
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:08,000
Anachronism.

916
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:08,920
The word is anachronism.

917
00:30:10,060 --> 00:30:10,900
The secret word is anachronism.

918
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:12,120
I like arachnonism.

919
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,800
It's like some sort of bug or something.

920
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,820
The secret word is anachronism.

921
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:16,440
Mm-hmm.

922
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:17,360
All right.

923
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,120
So here's Warren.

924
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,300
She does a two-parter.

925
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:22,200
Oh, my favorite.

926
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,080
She was by far my favorite.

927
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,420
I only have a couple of parts of

928
00:30:24,420 --> 00:30:24,520
it.

929
00:30:24,540 --> 00:30:25,440
I don't believe me.

930
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,080
I've cut this.

931
00:30:26,740 --> 00:30:28,880
This is the shortest presentation I could do.

932
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,780
So she starts off with a softball, and

933
00:30:33,780 --> 00:30:35,280
this is Warren 1.

934
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,400
So here's an easy question.

935
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,620
Will you commit that when you leave this

936
00:30:39,620 --> 00:30:42,000
job, you will not accept compensation from a

937
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,360
drug company, a medical device company, a hospital

938
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,400
system, or a health insurer for at least

939
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,000
four years, including as a lobbyist or a

940
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:51,500
board member?

941
00:30:51,980 --> 00:30:54,420
Can you just repeat the last part of

942
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:54,820
the question?

943
00:30:54,980 --> 00:30:55,820
Can I commit to what?

944
00:30:55,820 --> 00:30:57,180
You're not going to take money from drug

945
00:30:57,180 --> 00:30:58,880
companies in any way, shape, or form.

946
00:30:58,880 --> 00:30:59,060
Who?

947
00:30:59,060 --> 00:30:59,840
Me?

948
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,180
Yes, you.

949
00:31:01,220 --> 00:31:01,460
Oh.

950
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:04,440
I'm happy to commit to that.

951
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:04,920
Good.

952
00:31:05,020 --> 00:31:05,860
That's what I figured.

953
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,300
I said it's an easy question to start

954
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:08,580
with.

955
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,420
You know what was most offensive about her

956
00:31:10,420 --> 00:31:13,980
presentation is when she put her fingers together

957
00:31:13,980 --> 00:31:15,940
like showing money, like her thumb and her

958
00:31:15,940 --> 00:31:18,680
fingers, getting money, getting money, because that just

959
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,380
shows you.

960
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:21,940
It's her own projection of that.

961
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,640
Getting money, getting money.

962
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,720
She and Wyden and a number of other

963
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,360
of these guys and that other guy screaming

964
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:35,280
about yes or no, they were visibly shaking.

965
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:36,160
Yes.

966
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:36,940
All of them.

967
00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:39,140
They're so mad because they must have threats.

968
00:31:39,580 --> 00:31:39,980
Threats.

969
00:31:40,340 --> 00:31:41,260
Threats on the back side.

970
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:41,900
I think they have.

971
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,160
I believe that might be it.

972
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,040
They may have threats.

973
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,020
They were visibly shaking.

974
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,300
She was just shaking like a leaf.

975
00:31:49,420 --> 00:31:50,940
Do you think that Shanahan is a threat?

976
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,380
What do you think about the farmer rep

977
00:31:52,380 --> 00:31:54,160
who drops by and says, if you don't

978
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,080
make sure this Kennedy guy doesn't get in,

979
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,700
if you don't discredit him, I'm going to

980
00:31:57,700 --> 00:31:58,400
primary you.

981
00:31:58,860 --> 00:32:00,880
You don't think that conversation happened?

982
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,560
Yeah, not in public though.

983
00:32:04,060 --> 00:32:04,540
No.

984
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:06,960
I'm sure he has.

985
00:32:07,340 --> 00:32:08,060
Yeah, of course.

986
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:09,980
Well, this is good.

987
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:10,720
Let's shake him out.

988
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:11,760
Let's smoke him out.

989
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:12,660
I don't know.

990
00:32:13,460 --> 00:32:14,940
It's not good, actually.

991
00:32:16,820 --> 00:32:19,800
An N can be put to this in

992
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,540
one quick executive order.

993
00:32:22,980 --> 00:32:24,100
And what would that order be?

994
00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:26,540
Television drug advertising.

995
00:32:26,540 --> 00:32:28,660
It takes the money out of the, it

996
00:32:28,660 --> 00:32:30,600
takes all these ridiculous profits out of these

997
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,540
stupid drugs that have all these side effects.

998
00:32:32,540 --> 00:32:34,520
And it takes the money away from the

999
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,300
media who's been banking on this drug money

1000
00:32:38,300 --> 00:32:41,320
since day one, since it began and they've

1001
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,780
like kind of leaned on it.

1002
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,640
And that will hurt the media big time.

1003
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,600
I don't think the president has the balls

1004
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,600
to do it because he knows that then

1005
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,100
his entire base will get primaried.

1006
00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:00,080
It will be an all-out war if

1007
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,560
he does that.

1008
00:33:00,660 --> 00:33:01,640
Well, there's going to be an all-out

1009
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,380
war anyway, if Kennedy doesn't get in.

1010
00:33:04,180 --> 00:33:07,380
Now here's where she starts to get mean

1011
00:33:07,380 --> 00:33:09,240
and she starts to go after him because

1012
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,020
he's a lawyer that's been suing pharma companies.

1013
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:12,540
This is great.

1014
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,000
This is a good clip.

1015
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,600
You could change vaccine labeling.

1016
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,260
You could change vaccine information rules.

1017
00:33:18,260 --> 00:33:22,440
You can change which claims are compensated in

1018
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,260
the vaccine injury compensation program.

1019
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,400
There's a lot of ways that you can

1020
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:32,640
influence those future lawsuits and pending lawsuits while

1021
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,510
you are secretary of HHS.

1022
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,720
And I'm asking you to commit right now

1023
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,280
that you will not take a financial stake

1024
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,180
in every one of those lawsuits so that

1025
00:33:44,180 --> 00:33:47,460
what you do as secretary will also benefit

1026
00:33:47,460 --> 00:33:49,300
you financially down the line.

1027
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,480
I'll comply with all the ethical guidelines.

1028
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:53,780
That's not the question.

1029
00:33:54,020 --> 00:33:56,080
You and I, you have said- Senator,

1030
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,700
you're asking me not to pursue vaccine-

1031
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:01,280
No, I am not.

1032
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,000
Yeah, you are.

1033
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,920
That's exactly what you're doing.

1034
00:34:05,420 --> 00:34:07,840
Look, no one should be fooled here.

1035
00:34:08,219 --> 00:34:12,840
As secretary of HHS, Robert Kennedy will have

1036
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,360
the power to undercut vaccines and vaccine manufacturing

1037
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,620
across our country.

1038
00:34:19,139 --> 00:34:21,780
And for all of his talk about follow

1039
00:34:21,780 --> 00:34:24,420
the science and his promise that he won't

1040
00:34:24,420 --> 00:34:26,139
interfere with those of us who want to

1041
00:34:26,139 --> 00:34:29,560
vaccinate his kids, the bottom line is the

1042
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:29,960
same.

1043
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,880
Kennedy can kill off access to vaccines and

1044
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,400
make millions of dollars while he does it.

1045
00:34:37,060 --> 00:34:40,340
Kids might die, but Robert Kennedy can keep

1046
00:34:40,340 --> 00:34:41,340
cashing in.

1047
00:34:41,340 --> 00:34:42,380
Oh, man.

1048
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,560
She's just not a good person.

1049
00:34:47,020 --> 00:34:49,480
She's been visibly, and she's visibly shaking.

1050
00:34:49,739 --> 00:34:51,560
I think, you know, your comment that the

1051
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,139
drug company guy, the rep coming by saying

1052
00:34:54,139 --> 00:34:55,460
we're going to primary you if you don't

1053
00:34:55,460 --> 00:34:58,720
get this guy killed, I think is dead

1054
00:34:58,720 --> 00:34:59,040
on.

1055
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,320
Because there's no reason to be this nervous.

1056
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,000
She was shaking when she was condemning him.

1057
00:35:05,020 --> 00:35:05,540
Pretty bad.

1058
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:07,540
That was really pretty bad.

1059
00:35:07,540 --> 00:35:09,940
So it went back and forth because the

1060
00:35:09,940 --> 00:35:11,960
Republicans were all amenable, and they were happy

1061
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,140
with it, and they think they can get

1062
00:35:13,140 --> 00:35:16,420
the votes, you know, except for the couple

1063
00:35:16,420 --> 00:35:16,840
of them.

1064
00:35:18,180 --> 00:35:22,240
And so Ron Johnson, who is just a

1065
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:24,940
gentle guy who is really interesting.

1066
00:35:25,900 --> 00:35:28,700
Well, he's held a lot of these side

1067
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:30,000
room conferences about food.

1068
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:30,240
Oh, yeah.

1069
00:35:30,300 --> 00:35:31,700
He's the one who does the, right, right.

1070
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,360
He's the one who does those extra ones

1071
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,450
that are in a bunker someplace that puts

1072
00:35:36,450 --> 00:35:38,910
together what looks like a congressional investigation.

1073
00:35:39,370 --> 00:35:42,070
They throw some skirts over some Ikea tables,

1074
00:35:42,210 --> 00:35:43,990
and it's like, all right, you're in the

1075
00:35:43,990 --> 00:35:45,010
Capitol right now.

1076
00:35:45,330 --> 00:35:45,450
Uh-huh.

1077
00:35:45,670 --> 00:35:46,390
Yeah, that guy.

1078
00:35:46,630 --> 00:35:46,770
Yeah.

1079
00:35:46,890 --> 00:35:49,730
So he let Kennedy talk, and these are

1080
00:35:49,730 --> 00:35:51,170
the last two clips, and this is not

1081
00:35:51,170 --> 00:35:52,470
really about the back and forth.

1082
00:35:52,530 --> 00:35:55,850
This is Kennedy giving his side of the

1083
00:35:55,850 --> 00:35:56,550
story.

1084
00:35:56,690 --> 00:35:59,530
And I think if you listen to this,

1085
00:35:59,550 --> 00:36:02,050
it's pretty hard to not want this guy

1086
00:36:02,050 --> 00:36:02,310
in.

1087
00:36:02,410 --> 00:36:04,210
This is Kennedy to Johnson one.

1088
00:36:04,210 --> 00:36:06,570
When I launched my campaign, it was about

1089
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:08,870
uniting Americans, Democrats and Republicans.

1090
00:36:09,610 --> 00:36:12,710
There's no issue that should unite us more

1091
00:36:12,710 --> 00:36:14,130
than this chronic health epidemic.

1092
00:36:14,750 --> 00:36:17,210
There's no such thing as Republican children or

1093
00:36:17,210 --> 00:36:18,170
Democratic children.

1094
00:36:18,770 --> 00:36:20,070
These are our kids.

1095
00:36:20,770 --> 00:36:22,810
Sixty-six percent of them are damaged.

1096
00:36:23,430 --> 00:36:25,470
I know what a healthy kid looks like

1097
00:36:25,470 --> 00:36:27,470
because I had so many of them in

1098
00:36:27,470 --> 00:36:28,010
my family.

1099
00:36:28,490 --> 00:36:30,770
I didn't know anybody with a food allergy

1100
00:36:30,770 --> 00:36:32,510
growing up, peanut allergy.

1101
00:36:32,510 --> 00:36:35,650
Why do five of my kids have allergies?

1102
00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:39,410
Why are we seeing these explosions in diabetes,

1103
00:36:39,690 --> 00:36:45,490
rheumatoid arthritis, neurological diseases, depression, all these things

1104
00:36:45,490 --> 00:36:47,670
that are related to toxics in the environment?

1105
00:36:48,390 --> 00:36:50,890
Why can't we just agree with each other

1106
00:36:50,890 --> 00:36:55,190
to put differences about so many issues, intractable

1107
00:36:55,190 --> 00:36:59,250
issues aside, and say, we're going to end

1108
00:36:59,250 --> 00:36:59,510
this?

1109
00:36:59,510 --> 00:37:02,730
I don't think anybody is going to be

1110
00:37:02,730 --> 00:37:04,190
able to do this like I have.

1111
00:37:04,810 --> 00:37:06,310
I'm all in with that.

1112
00:37:06,690 --> 00:37:09,930
And it is interesting how there's a decrease

1113
00:37:09,930 --> 00:37:12,910
in people are saying, you know, let's process

1114
00:37:12,910 --> 00:37:13,450
food.

1115
00:37:13,750 --> 00:37:15,470
I mean, the word is seeping out.

1116
00:37:15,490 --> 00:37:16,510
It goes very slow.

1117
00:37:16,650 --> 00:37:19,010
I think it takes years before it goes

1118
00:37:19,010 --> 00:37:19,410
slow.

1119
00:37:19,830 --> 00:37:21,490
Yeah, thanks to McDonald's.

1120
00:37:21,790 --> 00:37:25,050
This has gone faster than most because of,

1121
00:37:25,510 --> 00:37:27,750
you know, no one watches television anymore.

1122
00:37:27,750 --> 00:37:29,430
They're on social media.

1123
00:37:30,250 --> 00:37:33,230
If you look at one video about processed

1124
00:37:33,230 --> 00:37:35,190
food on TikTok, you'll get a thousand of

1125
00:37:35,190 --> 00:37:35,330
them.

1126
00:37:35,950 --> 00:37:37,450
It's interesting.

1127
00:37:38,490 --> 00:37:39,510
It is interesting.

1128
00:37:39,710 --> 00:37:40,290
I have to agree.

1129
00:37:40,570 --> 00:37:42,230
So the second part of this, he goes

1130
00:37:42,230 --> 00:37:44,650
on after another back and forth, and he

1131
00:37:44,650 --> 00:37:48,050
gives this spiel, which to me is the

1132
00:37:48,050 --> 00:37:48,370
kicker.

1133
00:37:48,430 --> 00:37:49,950
This is the reason you want the guy.

1134
00:37:50,330 --> 00:37:54,930
Because of my peculiar experience, because I've litigated

1135
00:37:54,930 --> 00:37:56,050
against these agencies.

1136
00:37:56,050 --> 00:37:57,950
When you litigate against them, you get a

1137
00:37:57,950 --> 00:38:00,650
PhD in corporate capture and how to unravel

1138
00:38:00,650 --> 00:38:00,930
it.

1139
00:38:01,650 --> 00:38:04,550
I've written six books about these agencies.

1140
00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:06,870
I know a lot about them, and I

1141
00:38:06,870 --> 00:38:07,930
know how to fix it.

1142
00:38:08,130 --> 00:38:11,390
And there's nobody who will fix it the

1143
00:38:11,390 --> 00:38:13,330
way that I do because I'm not scared

1144
00:38:13,330 --> 00:38:14,270
of vested interests.

1145
00:38:14,490 --> 00:38:15,270
I don't care.

1146
00:38:15,830 --> 00:38:17,890
I'm not here because I want a position

1147
00:38:17,890 --> 00:38:18,690
or a job.

1148
00:38:18,830 --> 00:38:20,510
I have a very good life and a

1149
00:38:20,510 --> 00:38:21,250
happy family.

1150
00:38:21,810 --> 00:38:23,610
This is something I don't need.

1151
00:38:23,610 --> 00:38:26,470
I want to do this because we're going

1152
00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:26,970
to fix it.

1153
00:38:27,090 --> 00:38:29,350
And the other thing is we are attracting

1154
00:38:29,350 --> 00:38:33,950
now a caliber of people to HHS like

1155
00:38:33,950 --> 00:38:35,110
never before in history.

1156
00:38:35,110 --> 00:38:39,970
And they're entrepreneurs, they're disruptors, they're innovators of

1157
00:38:39,970 --> 00:38:42,310
immense talents that are walking away, many of

1158
00:38:42,310 --> 00:38:43,470
them, from growing concerns.

1159
00:38:43,630 --> 00:38:46,250
They're not coming there for a position.

1160
00:38:46,530 --> 00:38:48,350
They're coming there because they want to save

1161
00:38:48,350 --> 00:38:48,930
our country.

1162
00:38:49,490 --> 00:38:49,630
Yeah.

1163
00:38:50,150 --> 00:38:50,490
Maha.

1164
00:38:51,350 --> 00:38:52,710
Make America healthy again.

1165
00:38:52,710 --> 00:38:53,210
Of course.

1166
00:38:53,790 --> 00:38:54,330
Of course.

1167
00:38:55,230 --> 00:38:57,550
So this vote will be very interesting.

1168
00:38:57,690 --> 00:38:59,950
There's one more hearing today with him, but

1169
00:38:59,950 --> 00:39:00,930
it's not the important hearing.

1170
00:39:01,010 --> 00:39:02,930
The hearing that took place at the Finance

1171
00:39:02,930 --> 00:39:06,050
Committee is, I was told, the hearing that

1172
00:39:06,050 --> 00:39:09,410
really determines whether he's going to go forward.

1173
00:39:09,510 --> 00:39:11,190
And he will because the Republicans are going

1174
00:39:11,190 --> 00:39:11,810
to vote for him.

1175
00:39:12,590 --> 00:39:13,850
And then it goes to the big…

1176
00:39:13,850 --> 00:39:14,390
Are you sure?

1177
00:39:14,510 --> 00:39:15,250
Are you really sure?

1178
00:39:15,610 --> 00:39:17,810
Yeah, I'm pretty sure, yeah, because there's nobody

1179
00:39:17,810 --> 00:39:23,010
on the Finance Committee that is a waffling

1180
00:39:23,010 --> 00:39:23,650
Republican.

1181
00:39:24,290 --> 00:39:26,210
I need to play a few clips here

1182
00:39:26,210 --> 00:39:27,530
before we move off of Kennedy.

1183
00:39:28,350 --> 00:39:30,950
And with this, I will say in 1997

1184
00:39:30,950 --> 00:39:34,790
or 1998, I got a call from Caroline

1185
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:38,370
Kennedy, and she wanted to meet with me

1186
00:39:38,370 --> 00:39:40,570
because I was doing Internet stuff.

1187
00:39:41,010 --> 00:39:44,170
And so I meet with Caroline Kennedy, and

1188
00:39:44,170 --> 00:39:47,250
she said, well, you know, Tom Brokaw said

1189
00:39:47,250 --> 00:39:48,930
I should talk to you about the Internet.

1190
00:39:49,950 --> 00:39:51,530
And so I spoke about the Internet.

1191
00:39:51,590 --> 00:39:53,670
And she did an invitation to Brokaw when

1192
00:39:53,670 --> 00:39:54,170
she did this?

1193
00:39:54,170 --> 00:39:54,810
No, that was me.

1194
00:39:55,470 --> 00:39:58,090
Tom Brokaw, I want to talk about the

1195
00:39:58,090 --> 00:39:58,190
Internet.

1196
00:39:58,530 --> 00:39:59,310
Adam Curry.

1197
00:40:01,330 --> 00:40:03,810
And she was like, oh, I want to

1198
00:40:03,810 --> 00:40:04,990
get the Internet for the – I think

1199
00:40:04,990 --> 00:40:07,170
it was for the Kennedy Library or something.

1200
00:40:07,270 --> 00:40:08,310
She was in charge of that.

1201
00:40:09,390 --> 00:40:12,030
And it became very apparent to me.

1202
00:40:12,030 --> 00:40:14,670
She did not give a – not one

1203
00:40:14,670 --> 00:40:16,270
hoot about the Internet.

1204
00:40:16,390 --> 00:40:17,710
She just wanted a press release.

1205
00:40:17,850 --> 00:40:18,990
That's all she cared about.

1206
00:40:19,510 --> 00:40:21,170
She just wanted to have a press release

1207
00:40:21,170 --> 00:40:24,250
saying we're on the information superhighway.

1208
00:40:24,710 --> 00:40:27,330
We're on an onramp to the information superhighway.

1209
00:40:27,830 --> 00:40:29,830
And she just did not care, and then

1210
00:40:29,830 --> 00:40:32,130
she went away, and then nothing ever happened.

1211
00:40:32,810 --> 00:40:37,090
But what she did to Bobby Jr. here

1212
00:40:37,090 --> 00:40:41,730
is pretty – I mean, again, is she

1213
00:40:41,730 --> 00:40:43,170
just looking for a headline?

1214
00:40:43,410 --> 00:40:45,370
Is she looking for – I don't know

1215
00:40:45,370 --> 00:40:48,690
what she's looking for, but this was from

1216
00:40:48,690 --> 00:40:49,230
your family.

1217
00:40:49,370 --> 00:40:51,730
I mean, all of his family are crazy,

1218
00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:54,530
but she just really took it all with

1219
00:40:54,530 --> 00:40:54,770
this.

1220
00:40:54,830 --> 00:40:56,430
And I think she does this for herself.

1221
00:40:56,510 --> 00:40:58,410
She doesn't even do it to save or

1222
00:40:58,410 --> 00:40:59,150
protect anybody.

1223
00:40:59,250 --> 00:41:00,610
She only cares about herself.

1224
00:41:00,910 --> 00:41:03,450
Now that Bobby has been nominated by President

1225
00:41:03,450 --> 00:41:05,510
Trump to be secretary of health and human

1226
00:41:05,510 --> 00:41:08,530
services, a position that would put him in

1227
00:41:08,530 --> 00:41:11,170
charge of the health of the American people,

1228
00:41:11,830 --> 00:41:13,790
I feel an obligation to speak out.

1229
00:41:14,610 --> 00:41:16,010
I've known Bobby my whole life.

1230
00:41:16,150 --> 00:41:17,030
We grew up together.

1231
00:41:17,730 --> 00:41:20,170
It's no surprise that he keeps birds of

1232
00:41:20,170 --> 00:41:23,370
prey as pets because Bobby himself is a

1233
00:41:23,370 --> 00:41:23,690
predator.

1234
00:41:25,270 --> 00:41:28,830
He's always been charismatic, able to attract others

1235
00:41:28,830 --> 00:41:31,950
through the strength of his personality, his willingness

1236
00:41:31,950 --> 00:41:34,130
to take risks and break the rules.

1237
00:41:34,130 --> 00:41:37,750
I watched his younger brothers and cousins follow

1238
00:41:37,750 --> 00:41:39,350
him down the path of drug addiction.

1239
00:41:40,290 --> 00:41:43,070
His basement, his garage, his dorm room were

1240
00:41:43,070 --> 00:41:45,570
always the center of the action, where drugs

1241
00:41:45,570 --> 00:41:48,450
were available, and he enjoyed showing off how

1242
00:41:48,450 --> 00:41:50,490
he put baby chickens and mice in a

1243
00:41:50,490 --> 00:41:51,850
blender to feed to his hawks.

1244
00:41:52,730 --> 00:41:55,130
It was often a perverse scene of despair

1245
00:41:55,130 --> 00:41:56,190
and violence.

1246
00:41:57,610 --> 00:41:59,730
That was a long time ago, and people

1247
00:41:59,730 --> 00:42:00,490
can change.

1248
00:42:00,490 --> 00:42:03,610
Through his own strength and the many second

1249
00:42:03,610 --> 00:42:06,290
chances he was given by people who felt

1250
00:42:06,290 --> 00:42:08,250
sorry for the boy who lost his father,

1251
00:42:08,990 --> 00:42:10,910
Bobby was able to pull himself out of

1252
00:42:10,910 --> 00:42:11,950
illness and disease.

1253
00:42:12,730 --> 00:42:15,650
I admire the discipline that took and the

1254
00:42:15,650 --> 00:42:17,370
continuing commitment it requires.

1255
00:42:17,570 --> 00:42:21,230
However, but siblings and cousins who Bobby encouraged

1256
00:42:21,230 --> 00:42:24,670
down the path of substance abuse suffered addiction,

1257
00:42:25,270 --> 00:42:26,630
illness, and death.

1258
00:42:27,330 --> 00:42:31,390
While Bobby has gone on to misrepresent, lie,

1259
00:42:31,730 --> 00:42:33,330
and cheat his way through life.

1260
00:42:33,710 --> 00:42:34,130
Nice.

1261
00:42:34,350 --> 00:42:35,430
So nice, Caroline.

1262
00:42:35,630 --> 00:42:36,050
Thank you.

1263
00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:37,970
I want to play a couple of clips

1264
00:42:37,970 --> 00:42:38,150
for you.

1265
00:42:38,330 --> 00:42:39,970
She is a horrible person.

1266
00:42:40,090 --> 00:42:41,210
That's what I said.

1267
00:42:41,290 --> 00:42:43,370
Just from a few years being in the

1268
00:42:43,370 --> 00:42:46,170
Biden administration, she was the ambassador to Australia.

1269
00:42:46,570 --> 00:42:48,590
With no credentials for this, by the way,

1270
00:42:48,610 --> 00:42:49,310
that I could tell.

1271
00:42:49,390 --> 00:42:50,490
She doesn't really do anything.

1272
00:42:50,630 --> 00:42:51,450
She's a nude nick.

1273
00:42:51,550 --> 00:42:54,650
Wasn't she also ambassador to Japan for a

1274
00:42:54,650 --> 00:42:55,810
bit there, if I recall?

1275
00:42:55,810 --> 00:42:56,770
I think she might have been.

1276
00:42:56,970 --> 00:42:57,070
Yeah.

1277
00:42:57,370 --> 00:43:00,290
Again, with no credentials, doesn't speak the language,

1278
00:43:00,510 --> 00:43:01,090
etc.

1279
00:43:01,670 --> 00:43:02,590
No, she doesn't.

1280
00:43:02,830 --> 00:43:07,150
But she looks like she's 50 years older.

1281
00:43:07,550 --> 00:43:09,010
Yeah, she does not look 50.

1282
00:43:09,010 --> 00:43:10,250
From just four years ago.

1283
00:43:10,330 --> 00:43:11,510
She looks like Phil Collins.

1284
00:43:11,730 --> 00:43:12,190
That was bad.

1285
00:43:13,530 --> 00:43:16,450
Let's listen to the elite messaging system, which

1286
00:43:16,450 --> 00:43:17,610
is severely broken.

1287
00:43:17,730 --> 00:43:20,710
But here's NBC picking up the ball and

1288
00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:24,770
approaching the obvious attack vector against RFK Jr.

1289
00:43:24,770 --> 00:43:27,290
Tonight, on the eve of Robert F.

1290
00:43:27,450 --> 00:43:29,890
Kennedy Jr.'s Senate confirmation hearing to lead the

1291
00:43:29,890 --> 00:43:31,890
Department of Health and Human Services.

1292
00:43:32,270 --> 00:43:34,010
Bobby himself is a predator.

1293
00:43:34,410 --> 00:43:36,710
Caroline Kennedy is lashing out at her cousin,

1294
00:43:37,170 --> 00:43:38,110
calling him unqualified.

1295
00:43:38,210 --> 00:43:38,510
What?

1296
00:43:39,550 --> 00:43:41,130
Like a Nat Pop.

1297
00:43:41,530 --> 00:43:44,430
Caroline Kennedy is no, she's only good for

1298
00:43:44,430 --> 00:43:45,030
Nat Pops.

1299
00:43:45,210 --> 00:43:46,870
Bobby himself is a predator.

1300
00:43:46,870 --> 00:43:49,650
Caroline Kennedy is lashing out at her cousin,

1301
00:43:50,090 --> 00:43:53,570
calling him unqualified to oversee critical agencies, including

1302
00:43:53,570 --> 00:43:56,690
the FDA and CDC, pointing in part to

1303
00:43:56,690 --> 00:43:58,450
his stance on vaccines.

1304
00:43:58,630 --> 00:44:01,430
Bobby preys on the desperation of parents of

1305
00:44:01,430 --> 00:44:05,750
sick children, vaccinating his own kids, while building

1306
00:44:05,750 --> 00:44:09,170
a following hypocritically discouraging other parents from vaccinating

1307
00:44:09,170 --> 00:44:09,710
theirs.

1308
00:44:10,330 --> 00:44:11,850
Do you have any response to the letter

1309
00:44:11,850 --> 00:44:13,430
released by Caroline Kennedy?

1310
00:44:14,070 --> 00:44:17,170
RFK Jr. ignored NBC News's questions today.

1311
00:44:17,310 --> 00:44:17,490
Ignored it.

1312
00:44:17,730 --> 00:44:19,550
Oh, no, he ignored NBC.

1313
00:44:20,050 --> 00:44:22,150
His cousin's concern is echoed in- How

1314
00:44:22,150 --> 00:44:23,810
dare he ignore the NBC.

1315
00:44:24,270 --> 00:44:25,330
Franklin, Tennessee.

1316
00:44:25,950 --> 00:44:27,830
It's very scary that that person is going

1317
00:44:27,830 --> 00:44:29,410
to be making- Very scary.

1318
00:44:29,870 --> 00:44:32,970
Public health decisions for our family and the

1319
00:44:32,970 --> 00:44:35,010
country as a whole.

1320
00:44:35,010 --> 00:44:37,570
Jen Fisher's 12-year-old son, Raleigh, was

1321
00:44:37,570 --> 00:44:40,010
born with a congenital heart condition that makes

1322
00:44:40,010 --> 00:44:42,250
him more vulnerable to all types of sickness.

1323
00:44:42,670 --> 00:44:45,390
Her fear now made worse, Jen says, by

1324
00:44:45,390 --> 00:44:47,470
growing vaccines- Hold on a second.

1325
00:44:48,130 --> 00:44:50,730
This is the worst reporting I've ever seen

1326
00:44:50,730 --> 00:44:51,510
for a while.

1327
00:44:51,650 --> 00:44:52,370
It's not a report.

1328
00:44:52,790 --> 00:44:58,010
She is hysterical in the reporting, reportage.

1329
00:44:58,710 --> 00:44:58,990
Yes.

1330
00:44:59,130 --> 00:45:01,010
And she's going, she's ratting it off like

1331
00:45:01,010 --> 00:45:03,010
there's nothing going- She's just a maniac,

1332
00:45:03,270 --> 00:45:04,050
this reporter.

1333
00:45:04,050 --> 00:45:04,550
Aaron.

1334
00:45:04,730 --> 00:45:06,050
Aaron McLaughlin.

1335
00:45:06,630 --> 00:45:08,830
This is a terrible product.

1336
00:45:09,190 --> 00:45:11,450
NBC has lost the plot.

1337
00:45:12,150 --> 00:45:13,770
Well, that's why I call it the broken

1338
00:45:13,770 --> 00:45:15,090
elite messaging system.

1339
00:45:15,310 --> 00:45:16,610
All types of sickness.

1340
00:45:16,950 --> 00:45:19,730
Her fear now made worse, Jen says, by

1341
00:45:19,730 --> 00:45:22,730
growing vaccine skepticism within the Franklin community.

1342
00:45:23,190 --> 00:45:24,170
What does that mean for Raleigh?

1343
00:45:24,450 --> 00:45:26,810
It's a scarier thing to send him out

1344
00:45:26,810 --> 00:45:27,770
the door every morning.

1345
00:45:28,210 --> 00:45:29,490
It's cold and flu season.

1346
00:45:29,770 --> 00:45:31,350
There's a lot of illness going around.

1347
00:45:31,930 --> 00:45:33,590
It's a lot of illness going on.

1348
00:45:33,650 --> 00:45:34,270
It's very scary.

1349
00:45:35,010 --> 00:45:36,570
Well, there's a second part to this.

1350
00:45:36,850 --> 00:45:38,950
Here in Tennessee, according to the CDC, more

1351
00:45:38,950 --> 00:45:41,290
and more parents are choosing not to vaccinate

1352
00:45:41,290 --> 00:45:44,230
their children against preventable diseases such as measles

1353
00:45:44,230 --> 00:45:47,430
and whooping cough, a reality Dr. Daniel McGinley

1354
00:45:47,430 --> 00:45:50,390
says he is increasingly confronting in his practice.

1355
00:45:51,110 --> 00:45:52,650
Do you worry that people are going to

1356
00:45:52,650 --> 00:45:54,270
die because of this skepticism?

1357
00:45:55,330 --> 00:45:56,150
Some will.

1358
00:45:56,890 --> 00:45:58,550
You're confident that that is going to happen?

1359
00:45:58,550 --> 00:46:01,870
If these diseases come back, more people will

1360
00:46:01,870 --> 00:46:02,130
die.

1361
00:46:02,270 --> 00:46:03,150
No, no, no, no.

1362
00:46:03,250 --> 00:46:04,010
People will die.

1363
00:46:04,190 --> 00:46:05,930
Vaccine skepticism is growing across 40 states plus

1364
00:46:05,930 --> 00:46:08,570
Washington, D.C. Last school year, the percentage

1365
00:46:08,570 --> 00:46:11,110
of kindergartners exempted from one or more mandatory

1366
00:46:11,110 --> 00:46:14,790
vaccines was the highest ever recorded, fueled by

1367
00:46:14,790 --> 00:46:17,850
online conspiracies and high profile critics of vaccines

1368
00:46:17,850 --> 00:46:22,330
and vaccine mandates, like RFK Jr. There's no

1369
00:46:22,330 --> 00:46:25,270
vaccine that is safe and effective.

1370
00:46:26,130 --> 00:46:26,430
Wow.

1371
00:46:27,930 --> 00:46:29,170
Isn't that a good one?

1372
00:46:29,870 --> 00:46:32,130
Well, that's taken out of context.

1373
00:46:32,190 --> 00:46:33,370
That's what's so good about it.

1374
00:46:33,370 --> 00:46:34,450
This is terrible.

1375
00:46:34,650 --> 00:46:36,330
This is NBC at its worst.

1376
00:46:36,530 --> 00:46:37,230
This is awesome.

1377
00:46:37,690 --> 00:46:40,710
There's no vaccine that is, you know, safe

1378
00:46:40,710 --> 00:46:41,410
and effective.

1379
00:46:43,690 --> 00:46:50,230
Wait, you and pharma advertising, this stops instantly.

1380
00:46:51,490 --> 00:46:52,090
Yeah.

1381
00:46:53,010 --> 00:46:53,610
Yeah.

1382
00:46:54,010 --> 00:46:55,250
Because, yes, you're correct.

1383
00:46:55,250 --> 00:46:56,690
You are correct, sir.

1384
00:46:57,030 --> 00:47:00,850
There's no vaccine that is safe and effective.

1385
00:47:01,450 --> 00:47:03,670
Since his nomination, he said he's not anti

1386
00:47:03,670 --> 00:47:05,690
-vaccine and he won't take them away.

1387
00:47:06,130 --> 00:47:08,190
But parents like Fisher say they'll be watching

1388
00:47:08,190 --> 00:47:12,050
tomorrow's confirmation hearing closely, knowing that for Raleigh

1389
00:47:12,050 --> 00:47:15,110
and children like him, the stakes are high.

1390
00:47:15,210 --> 00:47:17,410
It's life or death for Raleigh.

1391
00:47:17,530 --> 00:47:18,910
The stakes are high.

1392
00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:21,390
We need to go to the other side

1393
00:47:21,390 --> 00:47:23,170
of the messaging system, to CBS.

1394
00:47:23,170 --> 00:47:25,850
We'll bring in Dr. John LaPook.

1395
00:47:26,730 --> 00:47:27,090
LaPook.

1396
00:47:27,130 --> 00:47:27,950
LaPook is here.

1397
00:47:28,210 --> 00:47:30,010
We are joined now by our chief medical

1398
00:47:30,010 --> 00:47:30,490
correspondent.

1399
00:47:30,630 --> 00:47:33,550
I'm sorry, chief medical correspondent, not just the

1400
00:47:33,550 --> 00:47:33,830
doctor.

1401
00:47:33,930 --> 00:47:35,830
He's a chief medical correspondent.

1402
00:47:36,210 --> 00:47:37,270
Makes you sound official.

1403
00:47:37,450 --> 00:47:40,250
He should be wearing a uniform with braids

1404
00:47:40,250 --> 00:47:42,270
and medals and all kinds of stuff.

1405
00:47:42,390 --> 00:47:44,330
We are joined now by our chief medical

1406
00:47:44,330 --> 00:47:45,790
correspondent, Dr. John LaPook.

1407
00:47:46,070 --> 00:47:48,270
John, start our conversation off by telling us

1408
00:47:48,270 --> 00:47:50,510
what RFK Jr. would oversee.

1409
00:47:50,970 --> 00:47:52,030
Massive department.

1410
00:47:52,030 --> 00:47:53,110
Yeah, you're right, John.

1411
00:47:53,250 --> 00:47:54,610
You know, HHS is huge.

1412
00:47:54,730 --> 00:47:56,230
We've put together something I want to show

1413
00:47:56,230 --> 00:47:56,390
you.

1414
00:47:56,910 --> 00:47:58,690
The annual budget is $1.8 trillion.

1415
00:47:59,330 --> 00:48:02,630
That is 26 cents out of every dollar

1416
00:48:02,630 --> 00:48:04,370
that the government spends every year.

1417
00:48:04,510 --> 00:48:08,230
And it oversees 13 federal agencies, including the

1418
00:48:08,230 --> 00:48:11,370
CDC, the FDA, Medicaid, Medicare, and the NIH,

1419
00:48:11,570 --> 00:48:14,070
which oversees a tremendous amount of medical research.

1420
00:48:14,290 --> 00:48:17,030
So this organization really affects almost all of

1421
00:48:17,030 --> 00:48:17,270
us.

1422
00:48:17,270 --> 00:48:19,670
Wasn't Collins the guy who was running it

1423
00:48:19,670 --> 00:48:20,410
before this?

1424
00:48:21,070 --> 00:48:22,690
That kook with his guitar?

1425
00:48:24,530 --> 00:48:24,990
HHS?

1426
00:48:25,910 --> 00:48:27,010
No, no, no, no, no.

1427
00:48:27,070 --> 00:48:28,390
The whole NIH.

1428
00:48:28,810 --> 00:48:29,590
Yeah, HHS.

1429
00:48:29,810 --> 00:48:30,090
I'm sorry.

1430
00:48:30,510 --> 00:48:32,610
No, HHS was Becerra, I think.

1431
00:48:33,830 --> 00:48:35,350
Oh, well, that guy's even worse.

1432
00:48:35,770 --> 00:48:37,750
No, Becerra's got no creds.

1433
00:48:38,050 --> 00:48:40,550
I mean, he's just a California lawyer.

1434
00:48:41,410 --> 00:48:42,270
We continue.

1435
00:48:42,390 --> 00:48:44,750
What would be his powers as he oversees

1436
00:48:44,750 --> 00:48:45,450
all these agencies?

1437
00:48:45,450 --> 00:48:46,910
He would be very powerful.

1438
00:48:47,250 --> 00:48:48,130
You know, tremendous.

1439
00:48:48,290 --> 00:48:49,070
I'll give you an example.

1440
00:48:49,530 --> 00:48:52,370
The CDC has an advisory committee that recommends

1441
00:48:52,370 --> 00:48:55,650
to the CDC what vaccines to give and

1442
00:48:55,650 --> 00:48:56,310
when to give them.

1443
00:48:56,510 --> 00:48:59,690
Well, the HHA secretary appoints the voting members

1444
00:48:59,690 --> 00:49:01,490
of that advisory committee.

1445
00:49:01,990 --> 00:49:02,750
Laugh Tale.

1446
00:49:03,090 --> 00:49:03,650
Laugh Tale.

1447
00:49:03,890 --> 00:49:06,990
Oh, yeah, that committee, which we know is

1448
00:49:06,990 --> 00:49:07,510
all shills.

1449
00:49:07,890 --> 00:49:09,090
Of that advisory committee.

1450
00:49:09,290 --> 00:49:11,890
Even without official changes, the views of somebody

1451
00:49:11,890 --> 00:49:13,650
at the top of such a powerful organization

1452
00:49:13,650 --> 00:49:15,030
can affect public opinion.

1453
00:49:15,030 --> 00:49:18,390
So if there's doubts, for example, about vaccines,

1454
00:49:18,430 --> 00:49:21,310
that can trickle down and perhaps increase vaccine

1455
00:49:21,310 --> 00:49:21,790
hesitancy.

1456
00:49:22,050 --> 00:49:22,810
Oh, hesitancy.

1457
00:49:22,970 --> 00:49:23,470
Oh, no.

1458
00:49:23,830 --> 00:49:26,210
All I've ever heard Kennedy say is, yeah,

1459
00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:27,570
I just want people to know and I

1460
00:49:27,570 --> 00:49:28,610
don't want to force them.

1461
00:49:28,650 --> 00:49:30,150
I don't want to force their kids to

1462
00:49:30,150 --> 00:49:31,570
take this stuff, which, of course, is very

1463
00:49:31,570 --> 00:49:31,890
bad.

1464
00:49:34,530 --> 00:49:36,530
Dr. LePoucq, you're not just a doctor and

1465
00:49:36,530 --> 00:49:38,730
chief medical officer, but what do your colleagues

1466
00:49:38,730 --> 00:49:39,310
think of this?

1467
00:49:39,470 --> 00:49:41,570
What do your colleagues, what do other doctors

1468
00:49:41,570 --> 00:49:43,670
make of RFK Jr. and if he got

1469
00:49:43,670 --> 00:49:44,110
this job?

1470
00:49:44,110 --> 00:49:46,770
You know, there's agreement and even excitement about

1471
00:49:46,770 --> 00:49:49,570
the idea of making America healthier, decreasing obesity

1472
00:49:49,570 --> 00:49:50,770
and improving our diets.

1473
00:49:50,910 --> 00:49:51,250
Well, here we go.

1474
00:49:51,250 --> 00:49:53,650
Where the concern comes in is there's belief

1475
00:49:53,650 --> 00:49:54,750
and there's evidence.

1476
00:49:55,190 --> 00:49:57,370
And when belief doesn't square with evidence, you

1477
00:49:57,370 --> 00:49:59,510
either change the belief, that's science.

1478
00:49:59,550 --> 00:49:59,850
No evidence.

1479
00:49:59,850 --> 00:50:01,870
Or you change or you cherry pick the

1480
00:50:01,870 --> 00:50:02,190
evidence.

1481
00:50:02,370 --> 00:50:04,930
And there's concern among my colleagues about holding

1482
00:50:04,930 --> 00:50:07,110
on to belief in the face of contradictory

1483
00:50:07,110 --> 00:50:07,830
evidence.

1484
00:50:08,050 --> 00:50:10,330
How concerning is it that people believe these

1485
00:50:10,330 --> 00:50:11,090
things nowadays?

1486
00:50:11,410 --> 00:50:12,410
Loaded question.

1487
00:50:12,410 --> 00:50:13,930
It was once when this was believed to

1488
00:50:13,930 --> 00:50:15,830
be settled fact, right?

1489
00:50:16,070 --> 00:50:16,850
Science fact.

1490
00:50:17,190 --> 00:50:19,330
In the 1950s, the high watermark, you know,

1491
00:50:19,370 --> 00:50:20,850
when polio vaccine.

1492
00:50:21,790 --> 00:50:24,830
Of course, in government vaccines were given for

1493
00:50:24,830 --> 00:50:25,250
polio.

1494
00:50:25,650 --> 00:50:27,390
Like two million people got it at a

1495
00:50:27,390 --> 00:50:29,790
time when people were so terrified about what

1496
00:50:29,790 --> 00:50:31,290
these infections can do.

1497
00:50:31,370 --> 00:50:33,770
But now people don't even remember what the

1498
00:50:33,770 --> 00:50:34,910
measles, mumps, rubella.

1499
00:50:35,050 --> 00:50:36,090
Most people haven't seen it.

1500
00:50:36,230 --> 00:50:37,690
Diphtheria, whooping cough.

1501
00:50:38,070 --> 00:50:39,030
That's one of the problems.

1502
00:50:39,170 --> 00:50:41,530
When public health is working, nothing happens.

1503
00:50:41,530 --> 00:50:43,250
And so people don't appreciate it.

1504
00:50:43,510 --> 00:50:43,730
Yeah.

1505
00:50:43,890 --> 00:50:45,850
Well, don't get us started on the measles,

1506
00:50:46,010 --> 00:50:46,550
Brady Bunch.

1507
00:50:47,070 --> 00:50:49,630
I do want to go to Tina Smith.

1508
00:50:50,490 --> 00:50:50,790
Yeah.

1509
00:50:51,270 --> 00:50:53,570
Tina Smith, the Democrat from Minnesota.

1510
00:50:54,250 --> 00:50:55,050
Who's this?

1511
00:50:55,210 --> 00:50:57,890
Tina Smith, the Democrat from Minnesota.

1512
00:50:58,730 --> 00:51:03,230
And she, her task was to, her attack

1513
00:51:03,230 --> 00:51:07,230
vector was SSRIs and other stuff that science

1514
00:51:07,230 --> 00:51:09,170
can't actually explain how it works.

1515
00:51:09,250 --> 00:51:10,390
But we know it works.

1516
00:51:10,390 --> 00:51:12,850
You just might have to take Relenza or

1517
00:51:12,850 --> 00:51:16,850
Cibolta or some extra thing that increases it.

1518
00:51:16,950 --> 00:51:19,090
And you're on it forever and you feel

1519
00:51:19,090 --> 00:51:19,790
great.

1520
00:51:20,090 --> 00:51:23,210
In an interview in 2023 and again in

1521
00:51:23,210 --> 00:51:26,570
2024, you blamed school shootings on antidepressants.

1522
00:51:27,510 --> 00:51:29,590
You said, and this is a quote, there

1523
00:51:29,590 --> 00:51:32,370
is no time in American history or human

1524
00:51:32,370 --> 00:51:34,630
history that kids were going to shoot schools

1525
00:51:34,630 --> 00:51:36,130
and shooting their classmates.

1526
00:51:36,130 --> 00:51:39,510
It really started happening coterminous with the introduction

1527
00:51:39,510 --> 00:51:42,490
of these drugs, with Prozac and with other

1528
00:51:42,490 --> 00:51:42,890
drugs.

1529
00:51:43,230 --> 00:51:44,930
So do you believe, as you've said, that

1530
00:51:44,930 --> 00:51:46,810
antidepressants cause school shootings?

1531
00:51:47,070 --> 00:51:48,710
This should be a simple question.

1532
00:51:48,830 --> 00:51:50,750
I don't think anybody can answer that question

1533
00:51:50,750 --> 00:51:52,190
and I didn't answer that question.

1534
00:51:52,430 --> 00:51:56,550
I said it should be studied along with

1535
00:51:56,550 --> 00:51:59,990
other potential culprits like social media.

1536
00:52:01,050 --> 00:52:01,150
What?

1537
00:52:02,390 --> 00:52:02,950
Gaming.

1538
00:52:03,250 --> 00:52:03,990
You forgot gaming.

1539
00:52:04,550 --> 00:52:05,550
But I don't know.

1540
00:52:05,550 --> 00:52:08,070
I would never make because there's no science

1541
00:52:08,070 --> 00:52:08,570
on that.

1542
00:52:08,910 --> 00:52:09,810
Well, there is, Senator.

1543
00:52:10,030 --> 00:52:10,750
I mean, excuse me.

1544
00:52:10,810 --> 00:52:12,750
There is, Mr. Kennedy.

1545
00:52:12,990 --> 00:52:13,430
Thank you for the promotion.

1546
00:52:13,550 --> 00:52:16,730
The science shows that there is no link.

1547
00:52:16,930 --> 00:52:17,030
You gave me a joke.

1548
00:52:17,430 --> 00:52:17,650
What?

1549
00:52:18,470 --> 00:52:19,670
You get the line in there.

1550
00:52:19,750 --> 00:52:20,830
Thanks for the promotion.

1551
00:52:21,690 --> 00:52:22,890
This is so good.

1552
00:52:23,430 --> 00:52:24,330
Mr. Kennedy.

1553
00:52:24,550 --> 00:52:25,090
Thank you for the promotion.

1554
00:52:25,190 --> 00:52:28,430
The science shows that there is no link

1555
00:52:28,430 --> 00:52:30,510
between school shootings and antidepressants.

1556
00:52:30,510 --> 00:52:32,310
And in fact, most school shooters were not

1557
00:52:32,310 --> 00:52:34,410
even treated with antidepressants.

1558
00:52:34,490 --> 00:52:36,130
And of those that were, there was no

1559
00:52:36,130 --> 00:52:37,350
evidence of association.

1560
00:52:37,810 --> 00:52:39,890
I don't think you need to say that,

1561
00:52:40,110 --> 00:52:42,550
Senator, because HIPAA rules nobody knows.

1562
00:52:42,730 --> 00:52:44,410
Well, that is Mr. Kennedy.

1563
00:52:44,710 --> 00:52:48,050
Do you think that people who take antidepressants

1564
00:52:48,050 --> 00:52:48,550
are dangerous?

1565
00:52:48,910 --> 00:52:49,590
Yeah, yeah.

1566
00:52:49,770 --> 00:52:51,030
I just went on from there.

1567
00:52:52,170 --> 00:52:54,890
Is my neighbor on antidepressants going to kill

1568
00:52:54,890 --> 00:52:55,210
me?

1569
00:52:55,390 --> 00:52:56,070
Oh, yeah.

1570
00:52:56,250 --> 00:52:58,130
These people are just the worst.

1571
00:52:58,130 --> 00:53:00,830
I thought the funniest was Bernie Sanders.

1572
00:53:01,150 --> 00:53:02,230
Bernie was like...

1573
00:53:02,230 --> 00:53:02,730
This was...

1574
00:53:02,730 --> 00:53:04,570
I'm glad you got these clips, because I

1575
00:53:04,570 --> 00:53:05,930
had to stop at some point.

1576
00:53:06,010 --> 00:53:06,290
Oh, yeah.

1577
00:53:06,370 --> 00:53:06,770
You had to.

1578
00:53:06,950 --> 00:53:07,910
It was too much.

1579
00:53:07,990 --> 00:53:08,310
It was too much.

1580
00:53:08,310 --> 00:53:10,070
But Bernie, this Bernie...

1581
00:53:10,070 --> 00:53:11,810
And this is actually a shock to me,

1582
00:53:11,850 --> 00:53:13,550
because I thought Bernie would be on the

1583
00:53:13,550 --> 00:53:14,410
side of Kennedy.

1584
00:53:14,710 --> 00:53:14,890
Yeah.

1585
00:53:15,070 --> 00:53:17,890
And somebody, like you said, the only thing

1586
00:53:17,890 --> 00:53:19,730
you can assume is somebody bumped up to

1587
00:53:19,730 --> 00:53:20,910
him and said, hey, you know, Bernie.

1588
00:53:21,150 --> 00:53:22,830
Hey, I got to got you, man.

1589
00:53:22,870 --> 00:53:23,690
It's going to look great.

1590
00:53:23,750 --> 00:53:25,510
Your profile is going to be fantastic.

1591
00:53:25,630 --> 00:53:26,050
Yeah, see this?

1592
00:53:26,130 --> 00:53:26,710
Look at this photo.

1593
00:53:26,710 --> 00:53:27,270
Hey, look at this.

1594
00:53:27,330 --> 00:53:28,330
What's that in your mouth, Bernie?

1595
00:53:28,510 --> 00:53:29,950
I think the gist of what you were

1596
00:53:29,950 --> 00:53:33,230
trying to say today is you're really pro

1597
00:53:33,230 --> 00:53:33,990
-vaccine.

1598
00:53:34,110 --> 00:53:35,170
You want to ask questions.

1599
00:53:36,190 --> 00:53:39,050
You have started a group called the Children's

1600
00:53:39,050 --> 00:53:40,350
Health Defense.

1601
00:53:41,110 --> 00:53:42,450
You're the originator.

1602
00:53:42,890 --> 00:53:44,990
Right now, as I understand it, on their

1603
00:53:44,990 --> 00:53:47,570
website, they are selling what's called onesies.

1604
00:53:47,610 --> 00:53:50,350
These are little things, clothing for babies.

1605
00:53:51,190 --> 00:53:54,630
One of them is titled Unfaxed Unafraid.

1606
00:53:55,450 --> 00:53:58,050
Next one, and they're sold for $26 apiece,

1607
00:53:58,110 --> 00:53:58,470
by the way.

1608
00:53:58,990 --> 00:54:02,490
Next one is No Vax, No Problem.

1609
00:54:03,090 --> 00:54:05,370
Now, you're coming before this committee, and you

1610
00:54:05,370 --> 00:54:07,090
say you're pro-vaccine.

1611
00:54:07,270 --> 00:54:08,430
Just want to ask some questions.

1612
00:54:08,730 --> 00:54:12,770
And yet your organization is making money selling

1613
00:54:12,770 --> 00:54:17,570
a child's product to parents for $26, which

1614
00:54:17,570 --> 00:54:21,890
casts fundamental doubt on the usefulness of vaccines.

1615
00:54:21,890 --> 00:54:24,650
Can you tell us now that you will,

1616
00:54:24,970 --> 00:54:28,710
now that you are pro-vaccine, that you're

1617
00:54:28,710 --> 00:54:31,050
going to have your organization take these products

1618
00:54:31,050 --> 00:54:31,850
off the market?

1619
00:54:32,150 --> 00:54:34,170
Senator, I have no power over that organization.

1620
00:54:34,510 --> 00:54:35,370
I'm not a part of it.

1621
00:54:35,430 --> 00:54:36,510
I resigned from the board.

1622
00:54:36,590 --> 00:54:37,850
That was just a few months ago.

1623
00:54:38,190 --> 00:54:39,010
You founded that.

1624
00:54:39,490 --> 00:54:40,830
You certainly have power.

1625
00:54:41,130 --> 00:54:42,350
You can make that power up.

1626
00:54:42,450 --> 00:54:43,630
Are you supportive of this?

1627
00:54:44,130 --> 00:54:45,510
I've had nothing to do with leadership.

1628
00:54:45,510 --> 00:54:47,230
Are you supportive of these onesies?

1629
00:54:47,230 --> 00:54:48,650
I'm supportive of vaccines.

1630
00:54:48,650 --> 00:54:51,870
Can you imagine that someone wrote down in

1631
00:54:51,870 --> 00:54:54,010
his script, you have to say, are you

1632
00:54:54,010 --> 00:54:55,550
supportive of these onesies?

1633
00:54:55,890 --> 00:54:56,770
These onesies.

1634
00:54:56,850 --> 00:54:58,330
These onesies are an outrage.

1635
00:54:59,230 --> 00:55:00,690
That's actually a subclip.

1636
00:55:00,850 --> 00:55:02,750
Are you supportive of these onesies?

1637
00:55:03,150 --> 00:55:05,730
Now, the other thing is his preoccupation with

1638
00:55:05,730 --> 00:55:06,610
this $26.

1639
00:55:07,510 --> 00:55:09,610
Does he think that's a jip or what?

1640
00:55:09,690 --> 00:55:10,650
I mean, what is he so preoccupied?

1641
00:55:10,690 --> 00:55:12,230
Who cares about the price?

1642
00:55:13,190 --> 00:55:15,390
Oh, but the portions are so small.

1643
00:55:19,230 --> 00:55:21,250
Oh, man, I'm sorry he has to go

1644
00:55:21,250 --> 00:55:21,770
through all that.

1645
00:55:21,850 --> 00:55:22,910
I'm sorry for all these people.

1646
00:55:22,990 --> 00:55:24,430
These people are sad and pathetic.

1647
00:55:25,370 --> 00:55:26,190
They really are.

1648
00:55:26,470 --> 00:55:27,590
The onesies.

1649
00:55:27,730 --> 00:55:28,450
The onesies.

1650
00:55:28,630 --> 00:55:30,010
What's my script, Buff?

1651
00:55:31,030 --> 00:55:32,950
You're going to take the onesies, Bernie.

1652
00:55:33,530 --> 00:55:35,610
I want to take the SSRIs.

1653
00:55:35,610 --> 00:55:36,910
Are you supportive of these onesies?

1654
00:55:36,910 --> 00:55:38,470
I want to take the SSRIs.

1655
00:55:38,490 --> 00:55:39,210
I got the onesies.

1656
00:55:39,210 --> 00:55:39,850
What did you get?

1657
00:55:41,150 --> 00:55:44,330
I got MMR.  It's not all that great,

1658
00:55:44,410 --> 00:55:44,650
is it?

1659
00:55:46,970 --> 00:55:48,710
Can we move away from this?

1660
00:55:48,770 --> 00:55:49,290
Do you have any more?

1661
00:55:49,630 --> 00:55:53,090
Yeah, I do have the summary clip from

1662
00:55:53,090 --> 00:55:55,290
NTD, which is kind of, I guess, worth

1663
00:55:55,290 --> 00:55:55,710
playing.

1664
00:55:56,030 --> 00:55:57,810
This is the Kennedy rundown.

1665
00:55:58,150 --> 00:55:58,830
Yeah, it's worth it.

1666
00:55:58,870 --> 00:55:59,310
Robert F.

1667
00:55:59,430 --> 00:56:01,470
Kennedy Jr. spent hours in front of the

1668
00:56:01,470 --> 00:56:05,110
Senate Finance Committee Wednesday making statements and answering

1669
00:56:05,110 --> 00:56:08,370
questions on day one of his nomination hearings.

1670
00:56:09,170 --> 00:56:12,030
There is no single culprit in chronic disease.

1671
00:56:12,030 --> 00:56:15,130
Much as I have criticized certain industries and

1672
00:56:15,130 --> 00:56:19,010
agencies, President Trump and I understand that most

1673
00:56:19,010 --> 00:56:22,270
of their scientists and experts genuinely care about

1674
00:56:22,270 --> 00:56:23,090
American health.

1675
00:56:23,990 --> 00:56:27,430
Therefore, we will bring together all stakeholders in

1676
00:56:27,430 --> 00:56:29,730
pursuit of this unifying goal.

1677
00:56:30,050 --> 00:56:32,810
Kennedy is scheduled for two days of hearings,

1678
00:56:32,910 --> 00:56:34,730
which will be followed by a full Senate

1679
00:56:34,730 --> 00:56:37,270
vote on whether or not to confirm him

1680
00:56:37,270 --> 00:56:40,270
as the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

1681
00:56:40,270 --> 00:56:44,290
Many senators probed Kennedy about his stance on

1682
00:56:44,290 --> 00:56:45,110
vaccines.

1683
00:56:45,350 --> 00:56:48,750
Senator Ron Wayden alleged that Kennedy has embraced

1684
00:56:48,750 --> 00:56:52,830
conspiracy theories, especially on the safety and efficacy

1685
00:56:52,830 --> 00:56:54,270
of vaccines.

1686
00:56:54,530 --> 00:56:57,370
He has made it his life's work to

1687
00:56:57,370 --> 00:57:00,950
sow doubt and discourage parents from getting their

1688
00:57:00,950 --> 00:57:03,670
kids life-saving vaccines.

1689
00:57:03,970 --> 00:57:06,470
But Kennedy pushed back, saying that he's not

1690
00:57:06,470 --> 00:57:09,530
anti-vaccine or anti-industry, but he is

1691
00:57:09,530 --> 00:57:10,370
pro-safety.

1692
00:57:10,750 --> 00:57:13,150
I worked for years to raise awareness about

1693
00:57:13,150 --> 00:57:17,130
the mercury and toxic chemicals in fish, and

1694
00:57:17,130 --> 00:57:18,890
nobody called me any fish.

1695
00:57:20,350 --> 00:57:23,050
You know what a guy like Kennedy really

1696
00:57:23,050 --> 00:57:23,350
needs?

1697
00:57:23,450 --> 00:57:25,470
And not just because I can do it,

1698
00:57:25,510 --> 00:57:27,130
but someone like me who can sit there

1699
00:57:27,130 --> 00:57:30,330
with the vast array of no-agenda clips

1700
00:57:30,330 --> 00:57:32,090
in our archive and just go, oh yeah,

1701
00:57:32,250 --> 00:57:33,990
here's what he really said, boom, hit the

1702
00:57:33,990 --> 00:57:34,250
clip.

1703
00:57:34,250 --> 00:57:36,510
You know, that's what he needs, because it's

1704
00:57:36,510 --> 00:57:38,890
all, they're just lying, all of them.

1705
00:57:39,710 --> 00:57:40,290
They lie.

1706
00:57:41,370 --> 00:57:44,110
And they twist it, and they make different

1707
00:57:44,110 --> 00:57:44,490
terms out of it.

1708
00:57:44,490 --> 00:57:45,770
Well, that's because they have an agenda.

1709
00:57:46,210 --> 00:57:48,130
Yeah, but that's why the no agenda has

1710
00:57:48,130 --> 00:57:48,570
to be there.

1711
00:57:48,650 --> 00:57:52,670
Speaking of which, we have our debutante who

1712
00:57:52,670 --> 00:57:54,290
came out this week.

1713
00:57:56,370 --> 00:58:00,750
Her name is Press Secretary Leavitt.

1714
00:58:01,370 --> 00:58:02,850
Leave it to Beaver?

1715
00:58:02,890 --> 00:58:03,610
Leave it to Beaver.

1716
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:04,290
Leave it.

1717
00:58:04,510 --> 00:58:04,850
Caroline?

1718
00:58:05,050 --> 00:58:05,990
Is it Caroline?

1719
00:58:06,170 --> 00:58:06,790
Caroline, I think.

1720
00:58:07,210 --> 00:58:09,570
Caroline Leavitt, who is 27.

1721
00:58:10,350 --> 00:58:12,490
Yes, the youngest press secretary in history.

1722
00:58:12,670 --> 00:58:15,430
I can't imagine any of our daughters doing

1723
00:58:15,430 --> 00:58:16,030
this job.

1724
00:58:16,290 --> 00:58:21,510
And she's, I mean, she's getting her sea

1725
00:58:21,510 --> 00:58:21,930
legs.

1726
00:58:22,450 --> 00:58:25,130
But this was something that everybody had to

1727
00:58:25,130 --> 00:58:26,030
send me an email about.

1728
00:58:26,170 --> 00:58:28,250
This White House believes strongly in the First

1729
00:58:28,250 --> 00:58:30,830
Amendment, so it's why our team will work

1730
00:58:30,830 --> 00:58:33,410
diligently to restore the press passes of the

1731
00:58:33,410 --> 00:58:37,370
440 journalists whose passes were wrongly revoked by

1732
00:58:37,370 --> 00:58:38,570
the previous administration.

1733
00:58:39,370 --> 00:58:41,530
We're also opening up this briefing room to

1734
00:58:41,530 --> 00:58:44,890
new media voices who produce news-related content

1735
00:58:44,890 --> 00:58:47,830
and whose outlet is not already represented by

1736
00:58:47,830 --> 00:58:49,310
one of the seats in this room.

1737
00:58:49,770 --> 00:58:54,490
We welcome independent journalists, podcasters, social media influencers,

1738
00:58:54,490 --> 00:58:57,970
and content creators to apply for credentials to

1739
00:58:57,970 --> 00:58:59,650
cover this White House.

1740
00:58:59,750 --> 00:59:02,190
Again, podcasting has come a long way.

1741
00:59:02,570 --> 00:59:04,390
I don't know if you got any.

1742
00:59:04,530 --> 00:59:05,530
No, probably you get nothing.

1743
00:59:05,990 --> 00:59:06,730
I got a couple.

1744
00:59:06,950 --> 00:59:08,830
You know, like, are you going to apply

1745
00:59:08,830 --> 00:59:09,810
for credentials?

1746
00:59:10,910 --> 00:59:11,430
No.

1747
00:59:12,090 --> 00:59:13,330
Why in the world?

1748
00:59:13,490 --> 00:59:15,170
We cover media.

1749
00:59:15,710 --> 00:59:16,830
We deconstruct media.

1750
00:59:16,910 --> 00:59:18,470
We don't want to be the media.

1751
00:59:19,310 --> 00:59:19,890
That's true.

1752
00:59:20,010 --> 00:59:21,810
And the second thing that should be noted,

1753
00:59:21,810 --> 00:59:26,110
by the way, 7,200 podcasters have applied.

1754
00:59:27,570 --> 00:59:28,290
How do you know?

1755
00:59:28,450 --> 00:59:29,310
I didn't hear about that.

1756
00:59:29,410 --> 00:59:31,230
It was a news report that came out.

1757
00:59:31,310 --> 00:59:33,050
Somebody, I think, came out of the White

1758
00:59:33,050 --> 00:59:33,230
House.

1759
00:59:33,290 --> 00:59:33,790
That's a lot.

1760
00:59:33,930 --> 00:59:34,870
That's more than I expected.

1761
00:59:35,970 --> 00:59:38,590
And they said the thing was that it

1762
00:59:38,590 --> 00:59:43,090
has to be a daily publication, which eliminates

1763
00:59:43,090 --> 00:59:43,910
us immediately.

1764
00:59:44,130 --> 00:59:44,810
Oh, we're out.

1765
00:59:44,950 --> 00:59:45,430
We're done.

1766
00:59:46,210 --> 00:59:48,030
The thing is, if you go to the

1767
00:59:48,030 --> 00:59:52,250
website, whitehouse.gov slash new media, you get

1768
00:59:52,250 --> 00:59:55,850
a landing page, which is iopra.my.site

1769
00:59:55,850 --> 01:00:00,390
.com, which is in a frame of the

1770
01:00:00,390 --> 01:00:02,410
White House, and says, interested in joining a

1771
01:00:02,410 --> 01:00:03,810
future White House press briefing?

1772
01:00:04,250 --> 01:00:05,650
Share your information below.

1773
01:00:05,770 --> 01:00:08,050
And then there's a button that says Siguiente,

1774
01:00:08,910 --> 01:00:11,270
which I think is Spanish for enter?

1775
01:00:11,650 --> 01:00:13,310
What does Siguiente mean?

1776
01:00:14,830 --> 01:00:16,530
I don't know.

1777
01:00:16,690 --> 01:00:17,190
Let's look it up.

1778
01:00:17,690 --> 01:00:18,790
It probably does mean enter.

1779
01:00:19,310 --> 01:00:19,930
Siguiente.

1780
01:00:20,550 --> 01:00:22,050
Or go home.

1781
01:00:22,370 --> 01:00:23,290
Go away.

1782
01:00:25,310 --> 01:00:26,290
Let me see.

1783
01:00:26,450 --> 01:00:32,410
This means next.

1784
01:00:32,530 --> 01:00:33,010
Oh, next.

1785
01:00:33,110 --> 01:00:34,270
It means next, I guess.

1786
01:00:34,890 --> 01:00:35,430
Oh, next.

1787
01:00:36,650 --> 01:00:37,270
Sequente.

1788
01:00:37,510 --> 01:00:38,990
That would be sequence.

1789
01:00:39,670 --> 01:00:42,230
From the root sequence.

1790
01:00:42,230 --> 01:00:43,670
So I hit next.

1791
01:00:44,210 --> 01:00:45,570
And then it has first name.

1792
01:00:45,630 --> 01:00:46,510
What is your first name?

1793
01:00:47,690 --> 01:00:50,230
Introduza hasta 200 caracteres.

1794
01:00:51,470 --> 01:00:53,230
So this thing is in Spanish.

1795
01:00:54,690 --> 01:00:56,350
It's the craziest thing.

1796
01:00:57,230 --> 01:00:58,670
Maybe you just have the Spanish.

1797
01:00:58,850 --> 01:01:00,230
You're in the Spanish track.

1798
01:01:01,210 --> 01:01:01,890
No, it's all.

1799
01:01:02,150 --> 01:01:03,390
I've tried the VPN.

1800
01:01:03,870 --> 01:01:04,430
It's all.

1801
01:01:05,250 --> 01:01:06,830
Are you on a VPN?

1802
01:01:07,510 --> 01:01:08,570
I've tried it on.

1803
01:01:08,670 --> 01:01:10,330
I'm not on a VPN now, but I've

1804
01:01:10,330 --> 01:01:11,950
tried it on VPN for different countries.

1805
01:01:11,950 --> 01:01:12,430
I keep getting.

1806
01:01:12,530 --> 01:01:13,030
It's the same.

1807
01:01:13,090 --> 01:01:14,350
I get the same form.

1808
01:01:15,190 --> 01:01:15,630
Interesting.

1809
01:01:15,970 --> 01:01:20,110
Well, no, it's unprofessional is what it is.

1810
01:01:20,130 --> 01:01:20,470
Well.

1811
01:01:20,770 --> 01:01:21,150
It's lame.

1812
01:01:21,530 --> 01:01:23,210
Like how come the podcasters have to all

1813
01:01:23,210 --> 01:01:23,830
speak Spanish?

1814
01:01:23,910 --> 01:01:24,790
And what are you doing?

1815
01:01:25,590 --> 01:01:26,010
Anyway.

1816
01:01:26,990 --> 01:01:29,050
So no, we are not going to apply

1817
01:01:29,050 --> 01:01:30,330
for press credentials.

1818
01:01:31,810 --> 01:01:34,610
And I guess we don't even qualify.

1819
01:01:35,350 --> 01:01:36,510
But we're not going to do that.

1820
01:01:36,790 --> 01:01:37,830
We are the media.

1821
01:01:38,370 --> 01:01:39,770
Podcasts are now the media.

1822
01:01:39,770 --> 01:01:42,830
We will have to deconstruct podcasts, which is

1823
01:01:42,830 --> 01:01:43,190
okay.

1824
01:01:43,490 --> 01:01:44,570
We're starting to do that.

1825
01:01:45,130 --> 01:01:47,390
And this is I'll just give my mini

1826
01:01:47,390 --> 01:01:48,430
spiel here.

1827
01:01:48,530 --> 01:01:50,990
This is why we need people starting hyper

1828
01:01:50,990 --> 01:01:51,910
local podcasts.

1829
01:01:52,250 --> 01:01:55,650
Because there's no way that any human being

1830
01:01:55,650 --> 01:01:59,470
can go through Rogan and Megan Kelly and

1831
01:01:59,470 --> 01:02:02,650
Victor Davis Hanson and Tucker Carlson and call

1832
01:02:02,650 --> 01:02:03,270
her daddy.

1833
01:02:03,270 --> 01:02:06,630
And you need people in your community who

1834
01:02:06,630 --> 01:02:08,770
are doing that distilling it down so that

1835
01:02:08,770 --> 01:02:10,190
when you're walking down the street, you can

1836
01:02:10,190 --> 01:02:13,230
say, hey, I heard you were talking about

1837
01:02:13,230 --> 01:02:13,390
that.

1838
01:02:13,430 --> 01:02:14,110
What's going on?

1839
01:02:14,650 --> 01:02:16,890
Hyper local podcast dot com.

1840
01:02:17,010 --> 01:02:17,870
It'll get you started.

1841
01:02:18,210 --> 01:02:18,930
It'll get you started.

1842
01:02:19,270 --> 01:02:21,470
The people are very interested in doing this.

1843
01:02:21,930 --> 01:02:22,230
They really.

1844
01:02:22,350 --> 01:02:23,230
And also, what is it?

1845
01:02:23,270 --> 01:02:24,950
What does it mean to your community?

1846
01:02:25,250 --> 01:02:25,910
Pot Angeles.

1847
01:02:27,150 --> 01:02:28,350
Yes, exactly.

1848
01:02:28,530 --> 01:02:29,810
Mimi's got the right idea.

1849
01:02:30,470 --> 01:02:30,570
Now.

1850
01:02:30,610 --> 01:02:31,170
She does.

1851
01:02:31,170 --> 01:02:33,230
We are anachronism.

1852
01:02:33,510 --> 01:02:36,230
So I'm trying to use my new word.

1853
01:02:36,810 --> 01:02:37,810
Yeah, you got it.

1854
01:02:37,890 --> 01:02:38,430
You nailed it.

1855
01:02:38,710 --> 01:02:41,610
So that is why, you know, people still

1856
01:02:41,610 --> 01:02:43,250
tune in to us because we now are

1857
01:02:43,250 --> 01:02:44,030
hyper local.

1858
01:02:44,650 --> 01:02:47,270
We're hyper local community of interest.

1859
01:02:47,730 --> 01:02:49,530
And we've been around long enough in our

1860
01:02:49,530 --> 01:02:50,310
18th year.

1861
01:02:50,770 --> 01:02:53,410
But essentially, we're doing the same thing.

1862
01:02:54,350 --> 01:02:55,330
You know, come to us.

1863
01:02:55,370 --> 01:02:56,250
We'll distill it down.

1864
01:02:56,330 --> 01:02:57,210
We'll give you some ideas.

1865
01:02:57,290 --> 01:02:58,190
We'll play some clips.

1866
01:02:58,190 --> 01:03:01,670
Except we can't talk about your specific neighborhood.

1867
01:03:02,250 --> 01:03:04,530
And we certainly never talk about Canada.

1868
01:03:05,930 --> 01:03:08,670
Now, along these lines, I would like to

1869
01:03:08,670 --> 01:03:11,570
promote Dvorak dot substack dot com.

1870
01:03:14,490 --> 01:03:16,930
Where, you know, you don't promote that enough.

1871
01:03:17,010 --> 01:03:19,470
I heard you promote it on DH Unplugged.

1872
01:03:19,990 --> 01:03:20,430
Yeah.

1873
01:03:20,530 --> 01:03:21,950
You should promote that more often.

1874
01:03:22,410 --> 01:03:23,150
I should.

1875
01:03:23,290 --> 01:03:25,230
You know, I'm not good at promotion.

1876
01:03:25,410 --> 01:03:26,210
It's pretty apparent.

1877
01:03:26,210 --> 01:03:29,390
D-V-O-R-A-K.

1878
01:03:30,230 --> 01:03:30,750
Dvorak.

1879
01:03:31,110 --> 01:03:31,210
Dvorak.

1880
01:03:31,770 --> 01:03:34,210
We need somebody to do a jingle with

1881
01:03:34,210 --> 01:03:35,170
spelling my name.

1882
01:03:35,290 --> 01:03:35,630
Oh, yeah.

1883
01:03:35,730 --> 01:03:38,490
We'll do that right after Dvorak dot org

1884
01:03:38,490 --> 01:03:39,810
slash N-A.

1885
01:03:40,030 --> 01:03:42,070
Which I'm sure you've already made the forward

1886
01:03:42,070 --> 01:03:44,010
to knowagentthedonations.com.

1887
01:03:44,090 --> 01:03:47,130
Which Tina asked me about every other day.

1888
01:03:47,250 --> 01:03:48,050
No, she doesn't.

1889
01:03:48,190 --> 01:03:48,930
Yes, she does.

1890
01:03:49,070 --> 01:03:51,150
No, you're acting like NBC.

1891
01:03:51,570 --> 01:03:53,150
No, she comes every other.

1892
01:03:53,330 --> 01:03:55,810
She says, oh, how's that microphone company coming?

1893
01:03:55,810 --> 01:03:57,690
About as good as the vinegar book.

1894
01:03:58,050 --> 01:03:59,510
About as good as the vinegar book.

1895
01:03:59,930 --> 01:04:01,410
And then she'll say, oh, how about the

1896
01:04:01,410 --> 01:04:02,470
donation page?

1897
01:04:02,870 --> 01:04:03,710
Yeah, that's okay.

1898
01:04:03,810 --> 01:04:04,610
Hey, it's all right.

1899
01:04:04,670 --> 01:04:05,850
I love you regardless.

1900
01:04:06,170 --> 01:04:06,750
It's okay.

1901
01:04:07,430 --> 01:04:08,890
I don't need another company.

1902
01:04:08,890 --> 01:04:09,870
Get to work, Dvorak.

1903
01:04:11,590 --> 01:04:12,490
Somebody should love me.

1904
01:04:12,710 --> 01:04:13,610
Get to work.

1905
01:04:14,070 --> 01:04:15,470
Newsletter didn't pay off.

1906
01:04:15,830 --> 01:04:17,610
Lousy donations, thanks to you.

1907
01:04:17,930 --> 01:04:19,110
Oh, excuse me.

1908
01:04:19,270 --> 01:04:20,630
You're like, donations are great.

1909
01:04:20,670 --> 01:04:21,430
It was the newsletter.

1910
01:04:21,670 --> 01:04:22,850
Yeah, okay, fine.

1911
01:04:22,910 --> 01:04:24,170
You want to take that side of the

1912
01:04:24,170 --> 01:04:24,330
coin.

1913
01:04:24,330 --> 01:04:27,050
It doesn't matter because I think there's a

1914
01:04:27,050 --> 01:04:28,230
big future for you.

1915
01:04:28,350 --> 01:04:34,050
By the way, Spam Assassin is out to

1916
01:04:34,050 --> 01:04:34,470
get us.

1917
01:04:34,730 --> 01:04:36,450
Spam Assassin is the reason a lot of

1918
01:04:36,450 --> 01:04:37,470
people don't get the newsletter.

1919
01:04:37,710 --> 01:04:39,510
If you have anything to do with Spam

1920
01:04:39,510 --> 01:04:42,630
Assassin, that's a lousy operation because they have

1921
01:04:42,630 --> 01:04:44,730
blocked us and make our newsletter.

1922
01:04:44,830 --> 01:04:46,670
People subscribe to this newsletter.

1923
01:04:46,870 --> 01:04:48,250
It's not spam.

1924
01:04:48,850 --> 01:04:52,290
I think there's a way to unblock ourselves

1925
01:04:52,290 --> 01:04:53,330
from Spam Assassin.

1926
01:04:54,450 --> 01:04:57,090
You can go into Spam Assassin and say,

1927
01:04:57,190 --> 01:04:58,010
no, this is good.

1928
01:04:58,310 --> 01:05:00,810
What happens is the way these things get

1929
01:05:00,810 --> 01:05:04,750
on the block list is some jabroni hits

1930
01:05:04,750 --> 01:05:05,330
block.

1931
01:05:07,170 --> 01:05:10,070
The whole email is broken, just like everything.

1932
01:05:10,170 --> 01:05:11,790
The only thing that still works is podcasts,

1933
01:05:11,970 --> 01:05:13,910
and this is where I was leading up

1934
01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:17,110
to, since you have a sub stack, you

1935
01:05:17,110 --> 01:05:18,710
should do a sub stack live.

1936
01:05:19,590 --> 01:05:20,590
Sub stack live.

1937
01:05:20,690 --> 01:05:22,190
Look, even Jim Acosta is doing it.

1938
01:05:24,310 --> 01:05:25,110
Hey, guys.

1939
01:05:25,230 --> 01:05:25,330
Hey, guys.

1940
01:05:25,510 --> 01:05:27,170
He's going to make a lot of money,

1941
01:05:27,250 --> 01:05:27,790
that guy.

1942
01:05:27,950 --> 01:05:28,610
Hey, guys.

1943
01:05:28,770 --> 01:05:29,290
Hey, guys.

1944
01:05:29,470 --> 01:05:29,770
You know what?

1945
01:05:29,870 --> 01:05:31,670
Before you play this, which I'm glad you

1946
01:05:31,670 --> 01:05:33,830
got, and by the way, it is sub

1947
01:05:33,830 --> 01:05:36,530
stack, Dvorak.substack.com.

1948
01:05:36,610 --> 01:05:37,030
You can read.

1949
01:05:37,530 --> 01:05:39,750
Adam was trying to promote there was the

1950
01:05:39,750 --> 01:05:46,330
freak show column I just wrote describing the

1951
01:05:46,330 --> 01:05:48,610
freak show that we're literally getting from the

1952
01:05:48,610 --> 01:05:49,110
Democrats.

1953
01:05:49,510 --> 01:05:49,890
Yes.

1954
01:05:50,010 --> 01:05:51,370
You know, people with the blue hair and

1955
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:54,290
the nose rings and the gauged ears and

1956
01:05:54,290 --> 01:05:54,810
the whole thing.

1957
01:05:54,870 --> 01:05:55,570
They're all Democrats.

1958
01:05:56,030 --> 01:05:58,770
It was a groovy old man post.

1959
01:06:00,170 --> 01:06:01,490
It was something.

1960
01:06:02,810 --> 01:06:04,570
A lot of people like this structure.

1961
01:06:04,930 --> 01:06:07,730
No, it's a classic Dvorak structure.

1962
01:06:07,990 --> 01:06:08,250
Classic.

1963
01:06:08,350 --> 01:06:09,990
That's why I bring it up.

1964
01:06:10,190 --> 01:06:11,270
Well, I'm glad you did, by the way.

1965
01:06:11,270 --> 01:06:13,550
And I think you should get your phone,

1966
01:06:14,110 --> 01:06:15,690
and it has a camera.

1967
01:06:15,750 --> 01:06:16,890
I know it has a camera, and you

1968
01:06:16,890 --> 01:06:17,610
should do a sub stack.

1969
01:06:17,610 --> 01:06:18,050
No.

1970
01:06:18,390 --> 01:06:19,690
I think you got the wrong idea.

1971
01:06:20,010 --> 01:06:20,910
Sub stack live.

1972
01:06:21,030 --> 01:06:21,450
Here he is.

1973
01:06:21,510 --> 01:06:22,070
Hi, guys.

1974
01:06:22,250 --> 01:06:23,150
It's Dvorak here.

1975
01:06:23,350 --> 01:06:23,450
No.

1976
01:06:23,550 --> 01:06:23,650
No.

1977
01:06:23,810 --> 01:06:27,130
I've got, as you noted in the tip

1978
01:06:27,130 --> 01:06:29,650
of the day, I have the three-way,

1979
01:06:29,970 --> 01:06:32,230
the three-channel car cam.

1980
01:06:32,550 --> 01:06:33,030
Do it from your car.

1981
01:06:33,130 --> 01:06:33,950
Do it from your car.

1982
01:06:34,010 --> 01:06:34,730
And I have that.

1983
01:06:34,810 --> 01:06:36,170
I can point the camera at me in

1984
01:06:36,170 --> 01:06:37,930
the driver's seat, and I can do my

1985
01:06:37,930 --> 01:06:40,150
podcast from the car like a pro.

1986
01:06:40,230 --> 01:06:40,730
Let me tell you.

1987
01:06:40,790 --> 01:06:43,510
I would pay good money to see you

1988
01:06:43,510 --> 01:06:45,630
do a sub stack live from the Lexus.

1989
01:06:45,770 --> 01:06:46,970
You have no idea.

1990
01:06:46,970 --> 01:06:48,630
Let me be your manager for a moment.

1991
01:06:50,550 --> 01:06:51,510
Instant classic.

1992
01:06:51,670 --> 01:06:52,790
No, instant bestseller.

1993
01:06:54,090 --> 01:06:55,930
We'll put a gold star on it.

1994
01:06:56,270 --> 01:06:58,670
Instant bestseller if you do sub stack live.

1995
01:06:58,790 --> 01:07:00,890
And here is your example.

1996
01:07:01,170 --> 01:07:02,790
This is your leader, Jim Acosta.

1997
01:07:02,910 --> 01:07:03,430
Hey, guys.

1998
01:07:03,770 --> 01:07:04,470
It's Jim.

1999
01:07:05,210 --> 01:07:06,450
And let me just say this.

2000
01:07:06,490 --> 01:07:07,530
I've had quite the day.

2001
01:07:07,630 --> 01:07:09,910
But as you could see earlier today, this

2002
01:07:09,910 --> 01:07:12,150
was my last day at CNN.

2003
01:07:12,150 --> 01:07:14,770
And I did want to jump on sub

2004
01:07:14,770 --> 01:07:16,510
stack live here for a moment and say,

2005
01:07:16,570 --> 01:07:18,050
welcome to my new venture.

2006
01:07:18,150 --> 01:07:20,330
I'm going independent, at least for now.

2007
01:07:20,890 --> 01:07:22,150
This is just the beginning.

2008
01:07:22,150 --> 01:07:24,410
But I wanted to invite you to join

2009
01:07:24,410 --> 01:07:26,590
me here on this platform as we talk

2010
01:07:26,590 --> 01:07:28,750
about the day's news, talk about politics, and

2011
01:07:28,750 --> 01:07:29,130
so on.

2012
01:07:29,210 --> 01:07:31,250
I do want to, just in case, just

2013
01:07:31,250 --> 01:07:33,950
in case you missed my closing message earlier

2014
01:07:33,950 --> 01:07:36,790
in the day, don't give in to the

2015
01:07:36,790 --> 01:07:37,170
lies.

2016
01:07:38,010 --> 01:07:39,210
Don't give in to fear.

2017
01:07:40,230 --> 01:07:41,290
Hold on to the truth.

2018
01:07:42,110 --> 01:07:42,830
And hope.

2019
01:07:43,590 --> 01:07:45,070
And keep this conversation going.

2020
01:07:45,690 --> 01:07:46,590
Great to see all of you here.

2021
01:07:47,070 --> 01:07:47,930
We'll talk some more soon.

2022
01:07:48,070 --> 01:07:49,450
And I think you should sign off like

2023
01:07:49,450 --> 01:07:49,630
that.

2024
01:07:49,750 --> 01:07:50,850
Don't give in to the fear.

2025
01:07:52,010 --> 01:07:53,430
Keep your hope alive.

2026
01:07:53,970 --> 01:07:54,750
And I'll see you soon.

2027
01:07:54,850 --> 01:07:56,490
We'll keep the conversation going.

2028
01:07:56,750 --> 01:07:58,390
That is how you do it.

2029
01:07:58,850 --> 01:08:02,650
That is your example for Dvorak alive from

2030
01:08:02,650 --> 01:08:03,910
the Lexus, ladies and gentlemen.

2031
01:08:04,110 --> 01:08:07,030
I'm telling you, it's an instant topper, chart

2032
01:08:07,030 --> 01:08:07,830
topper, winner.

2033
01:08:08,730 --> 01:08:10,330
iTunes is ready to put you on top.

2034
01:08:11,550 --> 01:08:13,490
I'm all in, but I think it's going

2035
01:08:13,490 --> 01:08:15,229
to come off as the tech grouch.

2036
01:08:15,649 --> 01:08:16,930
Well, then wear the beard.

2037
01:08:17,010 --> 01:08:17,470
It's fine.

2038
01:08:17,590 --> 01:08:18,029
Do the tech grouch.

2039
01:08:18,029 --> 01:08:18,830
I've got the beard.

2040
01:08:18,950 --> 01:08:19,890
I still have the costume.

2041
01:08:20,310 --> 01:08:20,490
Yeah.

2042
01:08:20,630 --> 01:08:22,790
And then just do straight up news.

2043
01:08:23,430 --> 01:08:23,850
Grouch.

2044
01:08:25,890 --> 01:08:26,590
Straight up.

2045
01:08:26,590 --> 01:08:27,149
Tech grouch.

2046
01:08:27,590 --> 01:08:27,770
Yeah.

2047
01:08:29,529 --> 01:08:32,229
Speaking of mainstream, of course, we have a

2048
01:08:32,229 --> 01:08:33,510
new FCC chair.

2049
01:08:33,750 --> 01:08:34,750
And wouldn't you know it.

2050
01:08:34,850 --> 01:08:38,430
The FCC has reinstated complaints against CBS, ABC,

2051
01:08:38,750 --> 01:08:41,910
and NBC regarding last fall's presidential election.

2052
01:08:42,290 --> 01:08:44,850
New Republican Chairman Brendan Carr brought back these

2053
01:08:44,850 --> 01:08:47,029
cases after they were dismissed in the final

2054
01:08:47,029 --> 01:08:49,090
days of the Biden administration.

2055
01:08:49,770 --> 01:08:52,310
Notably, a complaint against Fox News will not

2056
01:08:52,310 --> 01:08:53,290
be reinstated.

2057
01:08:53,590 --> 01:08:56,010
The CBS complaint accuses the network 60 Minutes

2058
01:08:56,010 --> 01:08:58,229
of editing an interview with Kamala Harris, claiming

2059
01:08:58,229 --> 01:09:00,750
it distorted news to benefit her campaign.

2060
01:09:01,029 --> 01:09:03,770
ABC faces a complaint for alleged bias during

2061
01:09:03,770 --> 01:09:06,210
Harris's debate with Donald Trump, where moderators were

2062
01:09:06,210 --> 01:09:07,950
accused of favored treatment.

2063
01:09:07,950 --> 01:09:10,470
NBC is under fire for a Saturday Night

2064
01:09:10,470 --> 01:09:13,149
Live episode that featured Harris without a similar

2065
01:09:13,149 --> 01:09:14,450
opportunity for Trump.

2066
01:09:14,750 --> 01:09:18,330
Former FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel dismissed all four

2067
01:09:18,330 --> 01:09:20,210
complaints just before leaving office.

2068
01:09:20,670 --> 01:09:22,510
Carr, who has been vocal in support of

2069
01:09:22,510 --> 01:09:25,310
Trump, promises to address these issues as FCC

2070
01:09:25,310 --> 01:09:25,790
chair.

2071
01:09:26,029 --> 01:09:28,470
The reinstatements may signal a shift in oversight

2072
01:09:28,470 --> 01:09:29,890
of broadcast media.

2073
01:09:30,069 --> 01:09:30,870
Yeah, baby.

2074
01:09:31,109 --> 01:09:31,930
This is good.

2075
01:09:32,290 --> 01:09:32,830
This is good.

2076
01:09:33,189 --> 01:09:34,229
This is going after him.

2077
01:09:34,250 --> 01:09:34,770
I like it.

2078
01:09:34,930 --> 01:09:36,250
We have an associated clip.

2079
01:09:36,330 --> 01:09:36,890
All right.

2080
01:09:36,890 --> 01:09:38,350
Which is the.

2081
01:09:38,689 --> 01:09:39,970
Where is it?

2082
01:09:40,050 --> 01:09:40,990
I don't know.

2083
01:09:41,149 --> 01:09:41,710
It's the May.

2084
01:09:41,830 --> 01:09:44,170
It's a meta meta lawsuit paid.

2085
01:09:44,350 --> 01:09:44,930
Oh, yes.

2086
01:09:45,109 --> 01:09:45,450
Yes.

2087
01:09:46,670 --> 01:09:48,890
Is this the mega clips?

2088
01:09:49,810 --> 01:09:50,529
No, no.

2089
01:09:50,670 --> 01:09:51,090
Meta.

2090
01:09:51,210 --> 01:09:51,649
Meta.

2091
01:09:51,750 --> 01:09:52,189
I was going to.

2092
01:09:52,229 --> 01:09:52,990
Well, you never know.

2093
01:09:53,410 --> 01:09:55,210
You know, the mega clips are coming.

2094
01:09:55,350 --> 01:09:56,010
You never know.

2095
01:09:56,190 --> 01:09:58,810
Facebook parent meta is agreeing to pay 25

2096
01:09:58,810 --> 01:10:01,610
million dollars to settle a lawsuit filed by

2097
01:10:01,610 --> 01:10:04,410
President Trump against the company after it suspended

2098
01:10:04,410 --> 01:10:06,830
his accounts following the January six attack on

2099
01:10:06,830 --> 01:10:07,450
the Capitol.

2100
01:10:07,750 --> 01:10:09,730
Just the latest settling of litigation with the

2101
01:10:09,730 --> 01:10:11,850
president who threatened retribution on his critics and

2102
01:10:11,850 --> 01:10:12,410
rivals.

2103
01:10:12,870 --> 01:10:15,370
Meted and CEO Mark Zuckerberg among the billionaires

2104
01:10:15,370 --> 01:10:17,890
who sought to ingratiate themselves with Trump since

2105
01:10:17,890 --> 01:10:18,550
he won reelection.

2106
01:10:19,190 --> 01:10:19,510
Oh, I have.

2107
01:10:19,730 --> 01:10:21,490
I think I have a little better clip

2108
01:10:21,490 --> 01:10:22,130
because it has.

2109
01:10:22,470 --> 01:10:23,190
I hope so.

2110
01:10:23,350 --> 01:10:23,670
Yeah.

2111
01:10:23,890 --> 01:10:25,370
Because let me see if I hear.

2112
01:10:26,790 --> 01:10:27,630
Here we go.

2113
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:29,390
This is.

2114
01:10:29,790 --> 01:10:30,650
Where's this from?

2115
01:10:30,750 --> 01:10:32,050
This is from NBC.

2116
01:10:32,190 --> 01:10:33,670
Of course, NBC is going to be great.

2117
01:10:33,670 --> 01:10:35,390
Let's give you some breaking news into the

2118
01:10:35,390 --> 01:10:35,850
White House.

2119
01:10:36,850 --> 01:10:37,370
Valley.

2120
01:10:37,530 --> 01:10:39,970
President Trump, we've learned, has signed an agreement

2121
01:10:39,970 --> 01:10:42,810
with Meta to settle a lawsuit that he

2122
01:10:42,810 --> 01:10:45,550
filed against the company for suspending his account

2123
01:10:45,550 --> 01:10:47,450
after the attack on the Capitol on January

2124
01:10:47,450 --> 01:10:48,690
6th, four years ago.

2125
01:10:48,990 --> 01:10:51,330
The settlement, we understand, to be 25 million

2126
01:10:51,330 --> 01:10:54,550
dollars, most of which is going towards his

2127
01:10:54,550 --> 01:10:55,830
future presidential library.

2128
01:10:56,510 --> 01:10:58,490
This story first was reported by The Wall

2129
01:10:58,490 --> 01:10:58,930
Street Journal.

2130
01:10:59,050 --> 01:11:00,670
Meta says it has no comment on that,

2131
01:11:00,730 --> 01:11:01,890
but says they can confirm that they have

2132
01:11:01,890 --> 01:11:04,150
a 22 million dollar number to the Trump

2133
01:11:04,150 --> 01:11:04,550
library.

2134
01:11:04,690 --> 01:11:05,830
Garrett Haake is at the White House.

2135
01:11:05,850 --> 01:11:08,710
Garrett, this is so interesting for a lot

2136
01:11:08,710 --> 01:11:09,350
of reasons here.

2137
01:11:09,510 --> 01:11:11,190
And I know you've just confirmed this with

2138
01:11:11,190 --> 01:11:12,830
some of your sources here.

2139
01:11:12,910 --> 01:11:14,290
Your sources are great, Garrett.

2140
01:11:14,470 --> 01:11:16,610
There is a fascinating detail in the initial

2141
01:11:16,610 --> 01:11:18,230
Wall Street Journal article that I should note

2142
01:11:18,230 --> 01:11:19,470
NBC News has not confirmed.

2143
01:11:19,690 --> 01:11:22,230
It's not confirmed, but it's fascinating and it's

2144
01:11:22,230 --> 01:11:22,650
a detail.

2145
01:11:22,810 --> 01:11:24,050
So let's go to the White House.

2146
01:11:24,250 --> 01:11:25,550
He's standing in front of the White House.

2147
01:11:25,710 --> 01:11:26,350
It's so official.

2148
01:11:26,650 --> 01:11:27,690
For the end of the November dinner.

2149
01:11:27,690 --> 01:11:29,050
So this is a dinner that we've reported

2150
01:11:29,050 --> 01:11:31,450
on, or at least a visit to Mar

2151
01:11:31,450 --> 01:11:33,530
-a-Lago by Mark Zuckerberg, went down after

2152
01:11:33,530 --> 01:11:34,910
Donald Trump won the election.

2153
01:11:34,990 --> 01:11:35,570
Why are they talking?

2154
01:11:35,850 --> 01:11:36,850
Hold on a second.

2155
01:11:37,390 --> 01:11:40,610
Why are these women reporters for NBC, this

2156
01:11:40,610 --> 01:11:41,790
is the second one, this is a different

2157
01:11:41,790 --> 01:11:44,330
woman, talk so fast?

2158
01:11:44,730 --> 01:11:47,910
Oh, the new shipment of snow came in,

2159
01:11:47,990 --> 01:11:49,050
if you know what I'm saying.

2160
01:11:49,950 --> 01:11:50,930
I'm just saying.

2161
01:11:51,630 --> 01:11:53,450
Soon to be President Trump raised the matter

2162
01:11:53,450 --> 01:11:54,770
of the lawsuit, the people said.

2163
01:11:54,770 --> 01:11:57,010
The president signaled that the litigation had to

2164
01:11:57,010 --> 01:11:59,630
be resolved before Zuckerberg could be, quote-unquote,

2165
01:11:59,810 --> 01:12:01,710
brought into the tent, according to one of

2166
01:12:01,710 --> 01:12:03,530
these sources speaking with the Wall Street Journal,

2167
01:12:03,650 --> 01:12:03,830
Garrett.

2168
01:12:04,290 --> 01:12:06,550
He can be brought into the tent.

2169
01:12:06,790 --> 01:12:08,710
There's no evidence this was said.

2170
01:12:09,170 --> 01:12:10,210
There's no evidence.

2171
01:12:10,690 --> 01:12:12,750
But they go on and on about, oh,

2172
01:12:12,870 --> 01:12:15,290
Trump said, well, you can't be brought into

2173
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:15,990
the tent.

2174
01:12:16,510 --> 01:12:18,070
Into the tent, my brother.

2175
01:12:19,010 --> 01:12:21,130
I mean, does that even sound like Trump?

2176
01:12:21,610 --> 01:12:22,650
No, not at all.

2177
01:12:22,650 --> 01:12:24,610
Can't bring you into the tent, Zuck.

2178
01:12:25,310 --> 01:12:29,190
Meanwhile, wow, another opportunity.

2179
01:12:29,910 --> 01:12:31,030
Another one for you.

2180
01:12:31,150 --> 01:12:32,410
I'm excited about this.

2181
01:12:32,610 --> 01:12:34,930
You really need to get the Lexus mobile

2182
01:12:34,930 --> 01:12:38,770
cranked up, the 2006 Lexus, with your three.

2183
01:12:39,370 --> 01:12:39,970
2005.

2184
01:12:40,670 --> 01:12:40,930
Whoa.

2185
01:12:41,650 --> 01:12:43,670
I'm sorry, don't want to insult you.

2186
01:12:44,210 --> 01:12:47,150
With your three-way camera or whatever it

2187
01:12:47,150 --> 01:12:49,930
is, your tech grouch beard because there's instant

2188
01:12:49,930 --> 01:12:51,330
guaranteed cash.

2189
01:12:51,330 --> 01:12:53,730
Meta is making a bold play to attract

2190
01:12:53,730 --> 01:12:56,690
TikTok creators by offering up to $5,000

2191
01:12:56,690 --> 01:12:59,430
to influencers who join Facebook and Instagram.

2192
01:13:00,150 --> 01:13:02,350
With TikTok's future in the U.S. uncertain,

2193
01:13:02,810 --> 01:13:05,970
this breakthrough bonus program is a tempting opportunity

2194
01:13:05,970 --> 01:13:06,690
for creators.

2195
01:13:07,330 --> 01:13:09,290
To qualify, you need to post at least

2196
01:13:09,290 --> 01:13:11,850
20 reels on Facebook and 10 on Instagram

2197
01:13:11,850 --> 01:13:12,750
every month.

2198
01:13:13,250 --> 01:13:14,390
All original content.

2199
01:13:14,890 --> 01:13:15,910
But here's the catch.

2200
01:13:16,170 --> 01:13:18,570
It's only for those who've never posted on

2201
01:13:18,570 --> 01:13:19,690
either platform before.

2202
01:13:19,690 --> 01:13:23,670
Plus, accepted creators get perks like a free

2203
01:13:23,670 --> 01:13:24,850
verification subscription.

2204
01:13:25,510 --> 01:13:26,570
Meta isn't stopping there.

2205
01:13:26,850 --> 01:13:29,530
They've launched edits, a CapCut-like app, and

2206
01:13:29,530 --> 01:13:31,950
revamped Instagram's layout to mimic TikTok.

2207
01:13:32,590 --> 01:13:34,990
While some users are frustrated with these changes,

2208
01:13:35,590 --> 01:13:38,270
it's clear Meta is serious about dominating the

2209
01:13:38,270 --> 01:13:39,610
short-form video space.

2210
01:13:40,110 --> 01:13:42,130
I mean, this is great.

2211
01:13:43,130 --> 01:13:44,150
To five grand.

2212
01:13:45,330 --> 01:13:46,870
Top that with a newsletter.

2213
01:13:47,010 --> 01:13:47,990
This is good stuff.

2214
01:13:47,990 --> 01:13:50,490
This is cash money money in the bank.

2215
01:13:50,790 --> 01:13:53,050
Okay, I want to just stick with this

2216
01:13:53,050 --> 01:13:55,470
in this area for a second because this

2217
01:13:55,470 --> 01:13:58,490
is probably the best truth wants to come

2218
01:13:58,490 --> 01:14:00,630
out clip I've heard this year.

2219
01:14:00,710 --> 01:14:02,590
I know we're only a couple weeks into

2220
01:14:02,590 --> 01:14:05,710
it, but it's the best, best this year.

2221
01:14:06,410 --> 01:14:09,270
So Vivek Ramaswamy.

2222
01:14:09,610 --> 01:14:10,070
Vivek.

2223
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:11,010
Vivek Ramaswamy.

2224
01:14:11,230 --> 01:14:11,670
Vivek is an ache.

2225
01:14:11,790 --> 01:14:13,770
All of a sudden he drops out of

2226
01:14:13,770 --> 01:14:16,590
the Department of Governmental Efficiency.

2227
01:14:16,590 --> 01:14:19,550
You know, it's very shady.

2228
01:14:19,710 --> 01:14:20,770
I mean, he walked in.

2229
01:14:20,890 --> 01:14:22,990
He walked in as part of the cabinet

2230
01:14:22,990 --> 01:14:25,890
during the inauguration, and then he's kind of

2231
01:14:25,890 --> 01:14:26,130
out.

2232
01:14:26,190 --> 01:14:27,090
He's like, oh, no, no.

2233
01:14:27,390 --> 01:14:29,490
He can't really talk about it, but he's

2234
01:14:29,490 --> 01:14:31,350
probably going to run for the Ohio Senate

2235
01:14:31,350 --> 01:14:32,090
seat and everything.

2236
01:14:32,990 --> 01:14:36,250
But the truth came out in his discussion

2237
01:14:36,250 --> 01:14:39,610
with Jesse Watters, and you'll love it.

2238
01:14:40,830 --> 01:14:44,270
So we're hearing you're leaving Doge after like

2239
01:14:44,270 --> 01:14:45,670
three scaramoochies.

2240
01:14:46,150 --> 01:14:46,950
What happened?

2241
01:14:47,170 --> 01:14:49,090
Well, the reality is I'm pursuing elected office

2242
01:14:49,090 --> 01:14:49,630
very shortly.

2243
01:14:49,810 --> 01:14:50,770
We'll have an announcement soon.

2244
01:14:50,870 --> 01:14:52,010
But, Jesse, things are off to a great

2245
01:14:52,010 --> 01:14:52,370
start.

2246
01:14:52,530 --> 01:14:53,870
I think President Trump has proven.

2247
01:14:54,330 --> 01:14:55,350
Look at the actions that he took in

2248
01:14:55,350 --> 01:14:56,050
that first week.

2249
01:14:56,270 --> 01:14:58,410
The most pro-merit president I think we've

2250
01:14:58,410 --> 01:14:59,230
had in a long time.

2251
01:14:59,690 --> 01:15:01,530
And as for my vision grounded in constitutional

2252
01:15:01,530 --> 01:15:03,650
law and the future of the country, I

2253
01:15:03,650 --> 01:15:05,830
think it's best pursued through elected office, and

2254
01:15:05,830 --> 01:15:07,570
I'm confident that they're going to succeed in

2255
01:15:07,570 --> 01:15:09,630
slashing and burning that federal bureaucracy.

2256
01:15:09,830 --> 01:15:11,370
People are saying you didn't get along with

2257
01:15:11,370 --> 01:15:11,870
Musk.

2258
01:15:12,050 --> 01:15:12,850
What happened there?

2259
01:15:13,030 --> 01:15:14,070
I think that's incorrect.

2260
01:15:14,070 --> 01:15:15,250
But what I would say is we had

2261
01:15:15,250 --> 01:15:16,950
different and complementary approaches.

2262
01:15:17,290 --> 01:15:19,750
I focused more on a constitutional law, legislative

2263
01:15:19,750 --> 01:15:20,550
-based approach.

2264
01:15:20,950 --> 01:15:22,590
He focused more on a technology approach, which

2265
01:15:22,590 --> 01:15:23,550
is the future approach.

2266
01:15:23,850 --> 01:15:25,290
No better person to lead that technology.

2267
01:15:26,150 --> 01:15:27,010
Did you hear it?

2268
01:15:27,710 --> 01:15:28,070
No.

2269
01:15:28,570 --> 01:15:29,050
Broge.

2270
01:15:29,750 --> 01:15:32,650
He said broge instead of doge because, of

2271
01:15:32,650 --> 01:15:34,930
course, that is what he's saying behind closed

2272
01:15:34,930 --> 01:15:35,290
doors.

2273
01:15:35,630 --> 01:15:37,130
This is just broge, man.

2274
01:15:37,190 --> 01:15:38,230
It's just the tech bros.

2275
01:15:38,330 --> 01:15:40,470
The tech bros have broge.

2276
01:15:40,470 --> 01:15:42,270
Play it again so I can hear it

2277
01:15:42,270 --> 01:15:44,370
because I was listening as hard as I

2278
01:15:44,370 --> 01:15:46,290
could for the truthfulness to come out, but

2279
01:15:46,290 --> 01:15:46,870
I missed.

2280
01:15:47,510 --> 01:15:50,070
I knew that he said broge before because

2281
01:15:50,070 --> 01:15:50,830
I'd read about it.

2282
01:15:50,850 --> 01:15:52,170
I never heard him say it, but here

2283
01:15:52,170 --> 01:15:52,430
it is.

2284
01:15:52,490 --> 01:15:53,670
No, I read about it.

2285
01:15:53,670 --> 01:15:54,650
I never heard him say it.

2286
01:15:54,710 --> 01:15:55,690
I just read about it.

2287
01:15:56,170 --> 01:15:58,210
Constitutional law, legislative-based approach.

2288
01:15:58,590 --> 01:16:00,250
He focused more on a technology approach, which

2289
01:16:00,250 --> 01:16:01,230
is the future approach.

2290
01:16:01,570 --> 01:16:02,530
No better person to lead.

2291
01:16:02,850 --> 01:16:03,250
Broge.

2292
01:16:03,650 --> 01:16:04,490
Come on.

2293
01:16:05,410 --> 01:16:06,210
Come on.

2294
01:16:06,270 --> 01:16:07,210
It's the broge.

2295
01:16:07,210 --> 01:16:09,150
Oh, you know what I heard?

2296
01:16:10,270 --> 01:16:12,610
I heard it was the future approach.

2297
01:16:13,030 --> 01:16:14,730
No, future of broge.

2298
01:16:14,830 --> 01:16:15,850
He said broge.

2299
01:16:16,650 --> 01:16:16,850
Yeah.

2300
01:16:17,290 --> 01:16:19,130
I didn't hear it because I heard something

2301
01:16:19,130 --> 01:16:19,370
else.

2302
01:16:19,610 --> 01:16:21,750
Well, speaking of the future of broge, well,

2303
01:16:21,850 --> 01:16:23,150
breaking news, CNBC.

2304
01:16:23,410 --> 01:16:24,490
Breaking, breaking, breaking.

2305
01:16:24,770 --> 01:16:26,450
X is striking a deal with Visa to

2306
01:16:26,450 --> 01:16:28,750
be the first partner for what it is

2307
01:16:28,750 --> 01:16:30,050
calling the X money account.

2308
01:16:30,050 --> 01:16:32,770
Since buying Twitter in 2022, Elon Musk has

2309
01:16:32,770 --> 01:16:34,770
talked about turning the social media site into

2310
01:16:34,770 --> 01:16:37,050
a quote everything app where users can send

2311
01:16:37,050 --> 01:16:38,250
payments and store cash.

2312
01:16:38,390 --> 01:16:40,450
By using the payment rails of Visa, the

2313
01:16:40,450 --> 01:16:42,770
world's biggest credit card network, X users can

2314
01:16:42,770 --> 01:16:44,930
move funds between traditional bank accounts and the

2315
01:16:44,930 --> 01:16:45,710
X money account.

2316
01:16:46,130 --> 01:16:47,590
They can store funds there and also make

2317
01:16:47,590 --> 01:16:49,370
instant peer-to-peer payments with other X

2318
01:16:49,370 --> 01:16:51,710
users like with Zell or Venmo, I'm told.

2319
01:16:52,350 --> 01:16:54,110
The X money service is expected to launch

2320
01:16:54,110 --> 01:16:55,550
in the first quarter and deals with more

2321
01:16:55,550 --> 01:16:58,690
financial partners are likely, said one person with

2322
01:16:58,690 --> 01:16:59,570
knowledge of the matter.

2323
01:16:59,570 --> 01:17:01,330
One of the first use cases for X

2324
01:17:01,330 --> 01:17:02,970
money is so that creators on the site

2325
01:17:02,970 --> 01:17:05,390
can accept payments and store funds without using

2326
01:17:05,390 --> 01:17:06,310
external banks.

2327
01:17:06,530 --> 01:17:06,830
I'm told.

2328
01:17:07,470 --> 01:17:10,150
Minutes ago, X Corp CEO said in a

2329
01:17:10,150 --> 01:17:12,030
post that it is, quote, first of many

2330
01:17:12,030 --> 01:17:14,270
big announcements about X money this year.

2331
01:17:14,490 --> 01:17:17,650
Hugh, I have a question about regulation with

2332
01:17:17,650 --> 01:17:18,670
regard to social media.

2333
01:17:18,950 --> 01:17:21,390
Is it different for a partnership like this

2334
01:17:21,390 --> 01:17:23,750
than it would be, say, for more traditional

2335
01:17:23,750 --> 01:17:26,810
interchanges with financial partners?

2336
01:17:26,810 --> 01:17:29,070
Yeah, Leslie, it's a fascinating question because, you

2337
01:17:29,070 --> 01:17:32,410
know, X money, Twitter has been accumulating money

2338
01:17:32,410 --> 01:17:33,450
transmitter licenses.

2339
01:17:34,050 --> 01:17:35,950
Listening to this guy, I think you're right

2340
01:17:35,950 --> 01:17:40,030
about the delivery of the snowballs or whatever

2341
01:17:40,030 --> 01:17:41,510
you, however you put it.

2342
01:17:41,750 --> 01:17:42,810
The snowstorm.

2343
01:17:42,930 --> 01:17:44,790
That's a guy yakking away like a maniac.

2344
01:17:45,270 --> 01:17:47,490
Interchanges with financial partners.

2345
01:17:47,490 --> 01:17:49,770
Yeah, Leslie, it's a fascinating question because, you

2346
01:17:49,770 --> 01:17:53,110
know, X money, Twitter has been accumulating money

2347
01:17:53,110 --> 01:17:56,250
transmitter licenses in more than 30 states over

2348
01:17:56,250 --> 01:17:56,830
the past year.

2349
01:17:56,930 --> 01:17:58,770
So they're going to be what's more like

2350
01:17:58,770 --> 01:18:02,470
Stripe or other fintech intermediaries where they're going

2351
01:18:02,470 --> 01:18:04,190
to be able to provide banking like services

2352
01:18:04,190 --> 01:18:06,750
without really going to the work of being

2353
01:18:06,750 --> 01:18:07,990
a regulated bank.

2354
01:18:08,030 --> 01:18:09,390
And so I would think that there is

2355
01:18:09,390 --> 01:18:10,830
some elements of the banking universe.

2356
01:18:11,090 --> 01:18:13,470
Think community banks, think smaller banks, which are

2357
01:18:13,470 --> 01:18:16,630
going to potentially protest this incursion by technology.

2358
01:18:17,190 --> 01:18:18,730
Yeah, we'll see.

2359
01:18:19,410 --> 01:18:20,510
I don't know, man.

2360
01:18:20,550 --> 01:18:22,630
I don't know if people will trust their

2361
01:18:22,630 --> 01:18:24,650
Twitter account with their money.

2362
01:18:26,210 --> 01:18:27,350
I'm not so sure.

2363
01:18:27,570 --> 01:18:29,650
Well, bringing Visa in is probably a smart

2364
01:18:29,650 --> 01:18:31,730
idea because they have a brand name.

2365
01:18:31,790 --> 01:18:32,590
He's doing that.

2366
01:18:32,670 --> 01:18:34,470
Well, I think he's doing that because of

2367
01:18:34,470 --> 01:18:34,810
Plaid.

2368
01:18:34,970 --> 01:18:35,810
Visa owns Plaid.

2369
01:18:35,910 --> 01:18:36,750
I think they own Plaid.

2370
01:18:36,950 --> 01:18:38,350
I think they acquired Plaid.

2371
01:18:38,530 --> 01:18:39,630
And Plaid is the connector.

2372
01:18:40,190 --> 01:18:41,450
That's how Venmo does it.

2373
01:18:41,510 --> 01:18:42,970
That's how Cash App does it.

2374
01:18:45,270 --> 01:18:47,590
That's maybe for the streets, but I don't

2375
01:18:47,590 --> 01:18:47,830
know.

2376
01:18:48,450 --> 01:18:50,430
I don't know how that's going to work,

2377
01:18:51,250 --> 01:18:54,310
which brings us to the contentious conversation we

2378
01:18:54,310 --> 01:18:54,910
need to have.

2379
01:18:54,990 --> 01:18:57,350
But I actually think we're both on the

2380
01:18:57,350 --> 01:18:59,530
same side of this, but maybe approach it

2381
01:18:59,530 --> 01:19:02,770
from slightly different vectors.

2382
01:19:03,070 --> 01:19:03,530
I like this.

2383
01:19:03,590 --> 01:19:04,770
It's my new word today, vectors.

2384
01:19:05,150 --> 01:19:05,630
Vectors.

2385
01:19:05,830 --> 01:19:06,290
Vectors.

2386
01:19:06,530 --> 01:19:07,990
Today's word is vector.

2387
01:19:08,290 --> 01:19:09,510
No, it's anachronism.

2388
01:19:10,030 --> 01:19:11,430
That's the secret word.

2389
01:19:11,430 --> 01:19:14,430
We go to NPR for some in-depth

2390
01:19:14,430 --> 01:19:16,890
reporting on DeepSeek.

2391
01:19:17,090 --> 01:19:19,610
Tech stocks have plummeted around the world over

2392
01:19:19,610 --> 01:19:22,370
the past day as Investors Digest reports that

2393
01:19:22,370 --> 01:19:25,610
a Chinese company developed a competitive AI model

2394
01:19:25,610 --> 01:19:26,270
on the cheap.

2395
01:19:26,570 --> 01:19:29,090
The company is called DeepSeek and it even

2396
01:19:29,090 --> 01:19:30,170
caught President Trump's eye.

2397
01:19:30,470 --> 01:19:32,470
The release of DeepSeek.

2398
01:19:32,630 --> 01:19:35,550
By the way, there's something with the president's

2399
01:19:35,550 --> 01:19:36,310
voice here.

2400
01:19:37,230 --> 01:19:39,390
And by the way, CheapSeek is the way

2401
01:19:39,390 --> 01:19:40,210
of what I call it.

2402
01:19:40,210 --> 01:19:41,550
I heard it.

2403
01:19:41,610 --> 01:19:42,370
It was funny.

2404
01:19:42,530 --> 01:19:44,550
But you already used it on DH Unplugged

2405
01:19:44,550 --> 01:19:45,070
as a title.

2406
01:19:45,270 --> 01:19:46,630
So I can't use it again.

2407
01:19:46,710 --> 01:19:48,090
It's not even funny.

2408
01:19:48,210 --> 01:19:49,510
I already heard it's not even funny anymore.

2409
01:19:49,650 --> 01:19:50,050
CheapSeek.

2410
01:19:50,630 --> 01:19:53,730
The president's voice is very weak here and

2411
01:19:53,730 --> 01:19:55,210
it's uncharacteristic.

2412
01:19:55,730 --> 01:19:56,530
I don't know.

2413
01:19:56,610 --> 01:19:58,470
Competitive AI model on the cheap.

2414
01:19:58,750 --> 01:20:01,270
The company is called DeepSeek and it even

2415
01:20:01,270 --> 01:20:02,330
caught President Trump's eye.

2416
01:20:02,330 --> 01:20:06,990
The release of DeepSeek AI from a Chinese

2417
01:20:06,990 --> 01:20:09,110
company should be a wake up call for

2418
01:20:09,110 --> 01:20:11,290
our industries that we need to be laser

2419
01:20:11,290 --> 01:20:13,450
focused on competing to win.

2420
01:20:13,810 --> 01:20:15,110
And PR's John Rewich is on the line

2421
01:20:15,110 --> 01:20:16,690
now from China to help make sense of

2422
01:20:16,690 --> 01:20:18,610
how big a deal this actually is.

2423
01:20:18,790 --> 01:20:19,770
We've got a guy in China.

2424
01:20:19,990 --> 01:20:20,110
Hi there.

2425
01:20:20,350 --> 01:20:22,030
So first of all, tell us about this

2426
01:20:22,030 --> 01:20:25,690
company that many people, including me, just heard

2427
01:20:25,690 --> 01:20:26,410
of now.

2428
01:20:27,210 --> 01:20:29,490
Yeah, DeepSeek is a spinoff from a Chinese

2429
01:20:29,490 --> 01:20:30,290
hedge fund.

2430
01:20:30,290 --> 01:20:32,330
It was established just two years ago in

2431
01:20:32,330 --> 01:20:35,170
2023 and it's based in the eastern city

2432
01:20:35,170 --> 01:20:36,710
of Hangzhou, which is sort of a tech

2433
01:20:36,710 --> 01:20:37,610
hub here in China.

2434
01:20:38,450 --> 01:20:39,850
And in a nutshell, what they did was

2435
01:20:39,850 --> 01:20:42,010
hire a bunch of top notch engineers and

2436
01:20:42,010 --> 01:20:45,150
develop new algorithms, basically more efficient ways of

2437
01:20:45,150 --> 01:20:47,870
training and running artificial intelligence with less computational

2438
01:20:47,870 --> 01:20:48,290
power.

2439
01:20:48,510 --> 01:20:49,810
And what's the significance of that?

2440
01:20:50,530 --> 01:20:53,250
Well, the product is said to rival tools

2441
01:20:53,250 --> 01:20:55,730
from competitors like OpenAI and Google in terms

2442
01:20:55,730 --> 01:20:56,730
of what it can do.

2443
01:20:56,830 --> 01:20:59,790
Things like analyzing data and solving complex problems.

2444
01:21:00,010 --> 01:21:01,510
It's impressed a lot of people.

2445
01:21:01,690 --> 01:21:02,790
It rattled markets.

2446
01:21:03,270 --> 01:21:04,930
And what rattled the markets is the narrative,

2447
01:21:05,090 --> 01:21:07,890
which comes with some caveats that DeepSeek basically

2448
01:21:07,890 --> 01:21:10,030
did it all cheaper, quicker and with less

2449
01:21:10,030 --> 01:21:12,170
powerful microprocessors than its big competitors.

2450
01:21:12,790 --> 01:21:15,250
It's no surprise this comes out of Hangzhou

2451
01:21:15,250 --> 01:21:18,030
because it's a very Hangzhou type of company.

2452
01:21:18,030 --> 01:21:19,750
I couldn't resist.

2453
01:21:20,850 --> 01:21:22,930
Well, one more clip and then we'll discuss.

2454
01:21:23,210 --> 01:21:24,750
OK, so tell us more about those caveats.

2455
01:21:25,690 --> 01:21:26,210
Sure.

2456
01:21:26,290 --> 01:21:28,150
The first one is around cost.

2457
01:21:28,570 --> 01:21:30,670
DeepSeek says that it spent under six million

2458
01:21:30,670 --> 01:21:31,990
dollars to make this thing.

2459
01:21:32,530 --> 01:21:35,050
That's tiny relative to the hundreds of millions

2460
01:21:35,050 --> 01:21:37,250
of dollars that others are investing, even billions.

2461
01:21:37,730 --> 01:21:39,570
But analysts say that that low figure is

2462
01:21:39,570 --> 01:21:41,570
easy to misinterpret because it doesn't include, for

2463
01:21:41,570 --> 01:21:45,290
instance, the cost of developing various versions from

2464
01:21:45,290 --> 01:21:47,250
which this latest version was distilled.

2465
01:21:47,250 --> 01:21:47,790
OK.

2466
01:21:48,130 --> 01:21:50,170
So we really don't know what the total

2467
01:21:50,170 --> 01:21:52,790
development cost was, how inexpensive it was.

2468
01:21:52,890 --> 01:21:54,810
The second caveat has to do with the

2469
01:21:54,810 --> 01:21:56,170
hardware, has to do with the chips that

2470
01:21:56,170 --> 01:21:57,550
are critical to developing AI.

2471
01:21:57,670 --> 01:21:58,730
OK, tell us more about that.

2472
01:21:58,850 --> 01:22:02,310
The Biden administration banned the best AI microprocessors

2473
01:22:02,310 --> 01:22:03,850
from being sold to China.

2474
01:22:04,090 --> 01:22:05,310
Were they able to get around it?

2475
01:22:06,130 --> 01:22:06,910
It's tricky.

2476
01:22:07,010 --> 01:22:08,890
You know, the chips that really matter for

2477
01:22:08,890 --> 01:22:11,150
AI are made by NVIDIA, which, by the

2478
01:22:11,150 --> 01:22:12,810
way, took a massive tumble on the stock

2479
01:22:12,810 --> 01:22:14,570
market after the DeepSeek news.

2480
01:22:14,570 --> 01:22:17,330
Back in 2022, NVIDIA were told they couldn't

2481
01:22:17,330 --> 01:22:18,970
sell their best product to China.

2482
01:22:19,450 --> 01:22:20,790
Of course, some of those were already those

2483
01:22:20,790 --> 01:22:21,550
chips were already there.

2484
01:22:21,670 --> 01:22:23,250
Some may have leaked in, but they made

2485
01:22:23,250 --> 01:22:25,050
a slightly downgraded version at the time that

2486
01:22:25,050 --> 01:22:26,590
they could sell to China legally.

2487
01:22:26,750 --> 01:22:29,250
That's what DeepSeek says it used to train

2488
01:22:29,250 --> 01:22:30,070
its latest model.

2489
01:22:30,890 --> 01:22:33,570
The Biden administration subsequently decided that those chips

2490
01:22:33,570 --> 01:22:34,590
were actually too powerful.

2491
01:22:34,710 --> 01:22:36,950
They banned those ones from being sold to

2492
01:22:36,950 --> 01:22:37,570
China, too.

2493
01:22:38,090 --> 01:22:38,790
That was in 2023.

2494
01:22:39,150 --> 01:22:39,970
A year had passed.

2495
01:22:40,110 --> 01:22:41,070
The horse was sort of out of the

2496
01:22:41,070 --> 01:22:41,330
barn.

2497
01:22:41,330 --> 01:22:44,150
Here's Gregory Allen, the director of the Wadwani

2498
01:22:44,150 --> 01:22:46,170
AI Center at the Center for Strategic and

2499
01:22:46,170 --> 01:22:47,550
International Studies in Washington.

2500
01:22:47,870 --> 01:22:50,710
We are currently living through the era of

2501
01:22:50,710 --> 01:22:55,170
the lagging impact of the Biden administration's misfire

2502
01:22:55,170 --> 01:22:59,050
in that first batch of AI export controls.

2503
01:22:59,470 --> 01:22:59,770
All right.

2504
01:22:59,790 --> 01:23:01,270
So you've you've looked at this.

2505
01:23:01,390 --> 01:23:03,630
You I heard some of your conversation.

2506
01:23:04,090 --> 01:23:05,750
I have some thoughts as well.

2507
01:23:05,830 --> 01:23:08,250
I'd love to hear what your take is

2508
01:23:08,250 --> 01:23:09,150
on cheap seek.

2509
01:23:11,130 --> 01:23:12,590
Well, a couple of things.

2510
01:23:12,670 --> 01:23:14,430
This was discussed and people should go back

2511
01:23:14,430 --> 01:23:16,430
and listen to DH unplugged, which we don't.

2512
01:23:16,710 --> 01:23:19,490
Which is on Wednesdays, Wednesday night.

2513
01:23:19,610 --> 01:23:20,390
You do it live.

2514
01:23:20,630 --> 01:23:21,730
And there's a podcast.

2515
01:23:22,410 --> 01:23:23,210
Listen to it.

2516
01:23:23,250 --> 01:23:23,970
It's very good.

2517
01:23:24,290 --> 01:23:26,290
Although Andrew is getting a little he's getting

2518
01:23:26,290 --> 01:23:27,590
a little uppity.

2519
01:23:28,830 --> 01:23:30,590
I think I think he lost money.

2520
01:23:30,710 --> 01:23:32,390
I think he lost money on this somehow.

2521
01:23:32,530 --> 01:23:33,950
I don't think he did, which is not

2522
01:23:33,950 --> 01:23:36,630
good because Tina has her retirement fund with

2523
01:23:36,630 --> 01:23:36,850
him.

2524
01:23:36,850 --> 01:23:39,710
I think he lost money big, bigly somehow.

2525
01:23:39,970 --> 01:23:41,530
He's really done.

2526
01:23:41,650 --> 01:23:43,030
He seems pretty chipper to me.

2527
01:23:43,130 --> 01:23:43,890
I don't know what you think.

2528
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:44,850
He's here.

2529
01:23:44,990 --> 01:23:45,690
He sounded uppity.

2530
01:23:46,030 --> 01:23:48,770
You know, like he was choppy and you

2531
01:23:48,770 --> 01:23:49,490
know, like slice.

2532
01:23:49,630 --> 01:23:50,850
Well, he was he was made.

2533
01:23:51,610 --> 01:23:54,170
Well, he does maybe subscribe to the bull

2534
01:23:54,170 --> 01:23:54,410
crap.

2535
01:23:54,530 --> 01:23:56,790
But you don't you think that all AI

2536
01:23:56,790 --> 01:23:57,290
is crap.

2537
01:23:57,290 --> 01:24:01,130
So, so, so this so that that's a

2538
01:24:01,130 --> 01:24:02,270
little different than what I think.

2539
01:24:02,270 --> 01:24:04,330
And I think that what CheapSeek is doing

2540
01:24:04,330 --> 01:24:06,850
here is doing things best price, which is

2541
01:24:06,850 --> 01:24:09,350
to look because I the reason I'm going

2542
01:24:09,350 --> 01:24:11,350
to say this is because I ran a

2543
01:24:11,350 --> 01:24:12,710
what is the no agenda show.

2544
01:24:12,830 --> 01:24:14,850
Somebody sent me a link to it to

2545
01:24:14,850 --> 01:24:18,550
a CheapSeek results on what's the no agenda

2546
01:24:18,550 --> 01:24:18,850
show.

2547
01:24:18,910 --> 01:24:20,470
And it was a rundown of the show.

2548
01:24:20,530 --> 01:24:21,430
And it was pretty accurate.

2549
01:24:21,510 --> 01:24:22,470
And I said, this is pretty good.

2550
01:24:22,870 --> 01:24:24,470
And so I decided to do the same

2551
01:24:24,470 --> 01:24:30,190
search on perplexity and grok and chat GPT.

2552
01:24:30,190 --> 01:24:32,370
And they all had the same elements within

2553
01:24:32,370 --> 01:24:34,310
them, although they weren't summarized as well.

2554
01:24:34,410 --> 01:24:38,210
And I'm getting the impression that CheapSeek is

2555
01:24:38,210 --> 01:24:41,690
using probably distributed system to go into the

2556
01:24:41,690 --> 01:24:44,470
other systems, take their stuff and use the

2557
01:24:44,470 --> 01:24:49,410
AI mechanism to take that stuff as the

2558
01:24:49,410 --> 01:24:51,190
as the language model that they want to

2559
01:24:51,190 --> 01:24:51,370
use.

2560
01:24:51,470 --> 01:24:53,610
And then just shrink it down a little

2561
01:24:53,610 --> 01:24:54,970
more and give it back to you.

2562
01:24:54,970 --> 01:24:57,170
I just don't think they're doing anything from

2563
01:24:57,170 --> 01:25:00,090
an original from a point of originality.

2564
01:25:00,630 --> 01:25:01,570
I think they're derivative.

2565
01:25:01,770 --> 01:25:03,750
I think this is something of a scam.

2566
01:25:06,350 --> 01:25:08,930
So I download because the results were basically

2567
01:25:08,930 --> 01:25:09,770
the same.

2568
01:25:09,890 --> 01:25:10,210
Sure.

2569
01:25:10,530 --> 01:25:12,550
Well, as the other guys, only it wasn't

2570
01:25:12,550 --> 01:25:13,330
as much of it.

2571
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,110
They just shortened it.

2572
01:25:14,290 --> 01:25:16,210
I have a slightly different take.

2573
01:25:16,250 --> 01:25:20,770
I downloaded the the R1 V3 model and

2574
01:25:20,770 --> 01:25:21,930
some of the other ones.

2575
01:25:21,930 --> 01:25:23,710
And I run that here locally, which is

2576
01:25:23,710 --> 01:25:25,110
that's kind of to me.

2577
01:25:25,150 --> 01:25:26,970
The story is it's all open source.

2578
01:25:27,170 --> 01:25:29,230
And, you know, it'll just come down to

2579
01:25:29,230 --> 01:25:29,630
compute.

2580
01:25:29,750 --> 01:25:31,470
How much compute do you have to run

2581
01:25:31,470 --> 01:25:34,430
it fast for for, you know, millions of

2582
01:25:34,430 --> 01:25:35,010
users?

2583
01:25:36,030 --> 01:25:38,270
I just saw your little beelinks.

2584
01:25:38,850 --> 01:25:40,310
That's how my start nine.

2585
01:25:40,490 --> 01:25:42,590
But equivalent, equivalent.

2586
01:25:44,690 --> 01:25:48,770
And I disconnected network access so it could

2587
01:25:48,770 --> 01:25:50,970
not go out and cheat.

2588
01:25:50,970 --> 01:25:52,110
It couldn't go out and cheat.

2589
01:25:52,290 --> 01:25:54,210
So it's I think it's what they call

2590
01:25:54,210 --> 01:25:57,250
a, you know, a model distillation.

2591
01:25:59,150 --> 01:26:02,850
And and really the thing is, these are

2592
01:26:02,850 --> 01:26:03,670
not benchmarks.

2593
01:26:03,810 --> 01:26:05,530
You know, tell me about the no agenda

2594
01:26:05,530 --> 01:26:05,850
show.

2595
01:26:05,970 --> 01:26:06,570
So what?

2596
01:26:06,950 --> 01:26:07,930
I mean, go to Wikipedia.

2597
01:26:08,230 --> 01:26:09,470
I mean, that's where it's getting it from.

2598
01:26:10,030 --> 01:26:11,850
But I think that what I'm happy about

2599
01:26:11,850 --> 01:26:12,630
is not.

2600
01:26:13,230 --> 01:26:15,550
Well, what I'm happy about is that this

2601
01:26:15,550 --> 01:26:17,390
will only accelerate the entropy.

2602
01:26:17,770 --> 01:26:19,770
There's just more crap that's going to come

2603
01:26:19,770 --> 01:26:20,010
out.

2604
01:26:20,010 --> 01:26:20,850
They're done.

2605
01:26:21,090 --> 01:26:22,930
No one has any more data to scrape.

2606
01:26:23,150 --> 01:26:25,810
So this model, you know, Sam Altman apparently

2607
01:26:25,810 --> 01:26:27,770
is already saying they stole our data.

2608
01:26:27,890 --> 01:26:29,130
Well, you stole it from us in the

2609
01:26:29,130 --> 01:26:29,690
first place.

2610
01:26:29,730 --> 01:26:30,170
You douche.

2611
01:26:30,530 --> 01:26:31,570
You're stealing everything.

2612
01:26:31,890 --> 01:26:32,370
Everything.

2613
01:26:32,610 --> 01:26:35,190
It's it's it has to degrade sooner or

2614
01:26:35,190 --> 01:26:35,510
later.

2615
01:26:36,030 --> 01:26:37,610
And it's still if you lock it down.

2616
01:26:37,730 --> 01:26:40,630
It's still not really impressive.

2617
01:26:41,270 --> 01:26:41,850
You know.

2618
01:26:41,970 --> 01:26:42,250
Yeah.

2619
01:26:42,310 --> 01:26:43,370
It can write an email.

2620
01:26:43,590 --> 01:26:43,850
Yeah.

2621
01:26:43,990 --> 01:26:44,370
It can.

2622
01:26:44,730 --> 01:26:46,030
I use it for Bible scripture.

2623
01:26:46,030 --> 01:26:46,950
Oh, good.

2624
01:26:47,070 --> 01:26:47,290
Jeez.

2625
01:26:47,770 --> 01:26:50,630
It ingested every single word of the Bible.

2626
01:26:51,130 --> 01:26:51,790
Every translation.

2627
01:26:52,870 --> 01:26:54,190
What do you mean you use it for

2628
01:26:54,190 --> 01:26:54,950
Bible scripture?

2629
01:26:54,990 --> 01:26:56,090
You're writing tracks.

2630
01:26:56,270 --> 01:26:57,090
Are you doing some.

2631
01:26:57,850 --> 01:26:59,890
So what are you using for Bible scripture

2632
01:26:59,890 --> 01:27:00,330
for?

2633
01:27:00,690 --> 01:27:04,030
If I want to find a Bible passage

2634
01:27:04,030 --> 01:27:06,550
about a certain situation, it can usually come

2635
01:27:06,550 --> 01:27:07,130
up with something.

2636
01:27:07,410 --> 01:27:09,290
You still use one of those Bible search

2637
01:27:09,290 --> 01:27:09,650
engines.

2638
01:27:09,750 --> 01:27:10,930
There's a bunch of them and they have

2639
01:27:10,930 --> 01:27:12,650
they have all the different versions of the

2640
01:27:12,650 --> 01:27:12,870
Bible.

2641
01:27:13,230 --> 01:27:13,590
That's that.

2642
01:27:13,830 --> 01:27:15,190
So they've ingested that.

2643
01:27:15,190 --> 01:27:18,450
So the inference is I want a scripture

2644
01:27:18,450 --> 01:27:21,330
that talks about this and then you can

2645
01:27:21,330 --> 01:27:23,250
say, and by the way, answer me as

2646
01:27:23,250 --> 01:27:24,650
a Southern Baptist pastor.

2647
01:27:24,870 --> 01:27:25,530
It's hilarious.

2648
01:27:26,230 --> 01:27:27,590
Let me tell you, my friend.

2649
01:27:29,290 --> 01:27:32,030
No, it's so it does that kind of

2650
01:27:32,030 --> 01:27:32,430
stuff.

2651
01:27:33,190 --> 01:27:36,130
I think it's really good for repetitive tasks.

2652
01:27:36,130 --> 01:27:38,130
If you can train your own model, which

2653
01:27:38,130 --> 01:27:39,570
which eventually will be coming.

2654
01:27:40,070 --> 01:27:42,090
But it's it's just none of it's really

2655
01:27:42,090 --> 01:27:42,410
impressive.

2656
01:27:42,570 --> 01:27:44,270
Really test this.

2657
01:27:44,270 --> 01:27:45,730
It's not impressive.

2658
01:27:45,890 --> 01:27:47,270
There's a note of detestation.

2659
01:27:47,910 --> 01:27:49,270
Well, yes, there is.

2660
01:27:49,350 --> 01:27:50,350
I wanted to die.

2661
01:27:50,670 --> 01:27:52,610
I wanted to die a horrible death.

2662
01:27:52,730 --> 01:27:53,750
I love that.

2663
01:27:54,150 --> 01:27:54,250
Why?

2664
01:27:54,590 --> 01:27:55,610
Because it's annoying.

2665
01:27:56,230 --> 01:27:56,930
It's annoying.

2666
01:27:57,210 --> 01:27:58,490
What's annoying about it?

2667
01:27:58,570 --> 01:28:01,150
What's annoying to me is that everywhere I

2668
01:28:01,150 --> 01:28:02,370
turn, there's AI.

2669
01:28:02,770 --> 01:28:05,350
I mean, so now France, France comes out

2670
01:28:05,350 --> 01:28:07,830
with an AI chat bot that they were

2671
01:28:07,830 --> 01:28:11,370
going to put into the schools and the

2672
01:28:11,370 --> 01:28:13,270
don't find this hilarious.

2673
01:28:13,270 --> 01:28:15,470
I mean, I think it's good for the

2674
01:28:15,470 --> 01:28:17,550
show, but then I go.

2675
01:28:17,690 --> 01:28:19,010
Someone sends me a report.

2676
01:28:19,090 --> 01:28:22,110
It's a crappy AI voice reading a report

2677
01:28:22,110 --> 01:28:22,870
about AI.

2678
01:28:23,270 --> 01:28:24,890
Welcome to generative AI news.

2679
01:28:24,970 --> 01:28:27,130
Today, we delve into the story of Lucy,

2680
01:28:27,470 --> 01:28:30,050
France's ambitious AI chat bot that recently made

2681
01:28:30,050 --> 01:28:31,890
headlines for all the wrong reasons.

2682
01:28:32,330 --> 01:28:34,450
Launched with high hopes and national pride.

2683
01:28:34,870 --> 01:28:37,530
Lucy was designed to embody European values and

2684
01:28:37,530 --> 01:28:39,850
challenge the dominance of English language AI tools

2685
01:28:39,850 --> 01:28:42,470
backed by President Macron and public funds.

2686
01:28:42,470 --> 01:28:44,950
It aimed to promote cultural diversity and digital

2687
01:28:44,950 --> 01:28:45,410
sovereignty.

2688
01:28:45,910 --> 01:28:48,950
However, just days after its launch, Lucy faced

2689
01:28:48,950 --> 01:28:52,710
widespread criticism for providing inaccurate and nonsensical responses.

2690
01:28:53,310 --> 01:28:55,450
Users reported that the chat bot made historical

2691
01:28:55,450 --> 01:28:57,990
inaccuracies, such as stating that Herod the Great

2692
01:28:57,990 --> 01:28:59,950
played a role in developing the atomic bomb

2693
01:28:59,950 --> 01:29:02,350
and bizarre claims like cow's eggs being a

2694
01:29:02,350 --> 01:29:03,190
healthy food source.

2695
01:29:03,530 --> 01:29:06,270
These errors led to mockery and concern, especially

2696
01:29:06,270 --> 01:29:07,990
when it was revealed that Lucy was intended

2697
01:29:07,990 --> 01:29:09,250
for use in French schools.

2698
01:29:09,250 --> 01:29:12,610
In response to the backlash, Linagora, the French

2699
01:29:12,610 --> 01:29:15,510
open source software firm leading the project, temporarily

2700
01:29:15,510 --> 01:29:16,470
suspended Lucy.

2701
01:29:16,890 --> 01:29:18,710
They acknowledged that the chat bot was an

2702
01:29:18,710 --> 01:29:21,550
academic research project in its early stages and

2703
01:29:21,550 --> 01:29:22,910
admitted that the launch was premature.

2704
01:29:23,510 --> 01:29:26,410
The firm expressed regret, stating, we got carried

2705
01:29:26,410 --> 01:29:27,750
away by our own enthusiasm.

2706
01:29:28,230 --> 01:29:30,950
This incident highlights the challenges and complexities of

2707
01:29:30,950 --> 01:29:33,330
developing AI tools that are both accurate and

2708
01:29:33,330 --> 01:29:34,130
culturally relevant.

2709
01:29:34,130 --> 01:29:37,210
So I guess maybe I'm trying to, I

2710
01:29:37,210 --> 01:29:38,930
love that story.

2711
01:29:38,950 --> 01:29:40,030
I mean, come on.

2712
01:29:40,110 --> 01:29:42,270
No, I'm trying to, I'm trying to examine

2713
01:29:42,270 --> 01:29:43,930
where my disdain comes from.

2714
01:29:44,050 --> 01:29:47,350
And I think it comes from this promise.

2715
01:29:47,450 --> 01:29:48,990
And I have friends who are, I mean,

2716
01:29:49,090 --> 01:29:51,010
it's the same friend who tells me he

2717
01:29:51,010 --> 01:29:52,910
can't wait to pull up with his flying

2718
01:29:52,910 --> 01:29:55,010
car and park it in my front yard.

2719
01:29:55,010 --> 01:29:56,510
I'm like, Vic, it's not going to happen.

2720
01:29:56,830 --> 01:29:58,570
He's going to bring some cow eggs over.

2721
01:29:58,570 --> 01:30:02,450
Now he's also selling AI into, where it

2722
01:30:02,450 --> 01:30:04,850
works is like telemarketing, you know, that kind

2723
01:30:04,850 --> 01:30:05,210
of stuff.

2724
01:30:05,630 --> 01:30:07,830
But I think, you know, humans, it's go

2725
01:30:07,830 --> 01:30:08,230
humans.

2726
01:30:08,310 --> 01:30:09,610
We're going to have to come back to

2727
01:30:09,610 --> 01:30:11,990
humans because it's like the hoverboard.

2728
01:30:12,050 --> 01:30:14,130
It's never really going to pay off.

2729
01:30:14,210 --> 01:30:17,190
They made a huge mistake by releasing chat

2730
01:30:17,190 --> 01:30:19,650
GPT and, you know, and they did it

2731
01:30:19,650 --> 01:30:20,270
all for greed.

2732
01:30:20,290 --> 01:30:21,190
It's all for money.

2733
01:30:21,290 --> 01:30:23,590
Sam Altman drives a $4 million EV.

2734
01:30:24,050 --> 01:30:24,350
I know.

2735
01:30:24,350 --> 01:30:27,170
It's it's disdain for brooch.

2736
01:30:27,310 --> 01:30:29,730
It's just disdain for Silicon Valley.

2737
01:30:29,950 --> 01:30:33,410
It's disdain for the wasted energy and just

2738
01:30:33,410 --> 01:30:34,270
nonsense.

2739
01:30:34,630 --> 01:30:37,450
And it's eventually it's, you know, we saw

2740
01:30:37,450 --> 01:30:37,990
what happened.

2741
01:30:38,110 --> 01:30:40,990
One little blip and, you know, 600 billion

2742
01:30:40,990 --> 01:30:43,990
child of Silicon Valley, which you are, whether

2743
01:30:43,990 --> 01:30:45,170
you like it or not.

2744
01:30:45,690 --> 01:30:46,510
This is unbelievable.

2745
01:30:47,050 --> 01:30:47,970
Listen to this.

2746
01:30:48,130 --> 01:30:51,270
I am the antithesis to Silicon Valley.

2747
01:30:51,270 --> 01:30:52,490
The antithesis.

2748
01:30:52,650 --> 01:30:55,550
You've gone out and done your Silicon Valley.

2749
01:30:55,690 --> 01:30:56,790
And I hated it.

2750
01:30:57,070 --> 01:30:57,950
And I hated it.

2751
01:30:57,970 --> 01:30:59,390
That doesn't mean anything.

2752
01:30:59,510 --> 01:31:00,330
You hated it.

2753
01:31:00,370 --> 01:31:01,210
Because it sucks.

2754
01:31:01,350 --> 01:31:02,090
It's horrible.

2755
01:31:02,430 --> 01:31:05,910
It's not an efficient way to to progress

2756
01:31:05,910 --> 01:31:06,690
technology.

2757
01:31:06,970 --> 01:31:08,790
I like the open source stuff, but no

2758
01:31:08,790 --> 01:31:09,090
one is.

2759
01:31:09,250 --> 01:31:10,430
It's all part of the tricks.

2760
01:31:11,070 --> 01:31:12,070
Nothing is impressive.

2761
01:31:12,590 --> 01:31:13,850
Nothing is without error.

2762
01:31:13,850 --> 01:31:16,410
And, you know, the only thing that this

2763
01:31:16,410 --> 01:31:20,170
may show is that by running smaller language

2764
01:31:20,170 --> 01:31:22,750
models, you'll get mistakes cheaper.

2765
01:31:24,170 --> 01:31:26,150
And what is it?

2766
01:31:26,210 --> 01:31:27,330
You see that coming.

2767
01:31:27,510 --> 01:31:28,930
What is it really telling me?

2768
01:31:28,990 --> 01:31:30,770
But oh, no, no, we've got to we've

2769
01:31:30,770 --> 01:31:32,050
got to get it into government.

2770
01:31:32,350 --> 01:31:35,250
OpenAI has launched ChatGBT Gov, a new platform

2771
01:31:35,250 --> 01:31:37,830
specifically designed for U.S. government use, which

2772
01:31:37,830 --> 01:31:40,670
builds upon the security features of ChatGBT Enterprise.

2773
01:31:40,670 --> 01:31:43,510
This new product enables government agencies to implement

2774
01:31:43,510 --> 01:31:46,790
sensitive, non-public data into OpenAI's models while

2775
01:31:46,790 --> 01:31:49,330
maintaining the security of their own hosting environments.

2776
01:31:49,690 --> 01:31:51,990
Since the start of 2024, over 90,000

2777
01:31:51,990 --> 01:31:55,450
government employees at various levels have utilized ChatGBT

2778
01:31:55,450 --> 01:31:58,010
to generate over 18 million prompts for tasks

2779
01:31:58,010 --> 01:32:01,490
such as document translation and summarization, policy memo

2780
01:32:01,490 --> 01:32:04,590
drafting, code generation and application development.

2781
01:32:05,710 --> 01:32:08,490
I mean, it says something when Apple stock

2782
01:32:08,490 --> 01:32:11,810
goes up because they have been very cautious.

2783
01:32:12,570 --> 01:32:14,850
And, you know, we're not really we're not

2784
01:32:14,850 --> 01:32:15,530
really putting much.

2785
01:32:15,630 --> 01:32:17,110
We're going to brand it a little bit

2786
01:32:17,110 --> 01:32:17,650
kind of.

2787
01:32:17,750 --> 01:32:21,090
But there really has been no no innovation

2788
01:32:21,090 --> 01:32:24,210
in technology since the smartphone.

2789
01:32:24,370 --> 01:32:27,870
I mean, has there really been anything exciting

2790
01:32:27,870 --> 01:32:28,610
and new?

2791
01:32:28,750 --> 01:32:31,010
And now it's already all it's Chinese.

2792
01:32:31,250 --> 01:32:32,130
You can't run this.

2793
01:32:32,170 --> 01:32:33,090
They're spying on you.

2794
01:32:33,090 --> 01:32:34,790
Oh, I'm so tired of it.

2795
01:32:35,390 --> 01:32:36,590
I'm just tired.

2796
01:32:36,690 --> 01:32:37,990
It's funny for the show.

2797
01:32:38,090 --> 01:32:38,570
It's funny.

2798
01:32:38,770 --> 01:32:39,750
I don't mind that.

2799
01:32:40,670 --> 01:32:42,450
Let's just show me something.

2800
01:32:42,730 --> 01:32:43,990
Give me my hoverboard.

2801
01:32:44,950 --> 01:32:48,110
You know, this constant and hundreds of billions

2802
01:32:48,110 --> 01:32:48,930
of dollars.

2803
01:32:49,070 --> 01:32:51,070
Just send it to us for the show.

2804
01:32:52,650 --> 01:32:53,170
Stop.

2805
01:32:55,550 --> 01:32:57,950
You don't understand my my complaint.

2806
01:33:00,470 --> 01:33:03,010
No, no, no.

2807
01:33:03,090 --> 01:33:03,950
It doesn't understand.

2808
01:33:04,050 --> 01:33:04,250
Okay.

2809
01:33:06,090 --> 01:33:08,890
It's but I admire it because you're consistent.

2810
01:33:09,410 --> 01:33:09,510
Yeah.

2811
01:33:09,590 --> 01:33:11,210
I mean, do you you don't vary?

2812
01:33:11,390 --> 01:33:12,270
You're not wavering.

2813
01:33:12,450 --> 01:33:16,050
Do you use AI or chat GPT in

2814
01:33:16,050 --> 01:33:17,870
your daily life regularly?

2815
01:33:17,890 --> 01:33:19,810
And do you find it efficient?

2816
01:33:20,590 --> 01:33:20,790
Yeah.

2817
01:33:21,070 --> 01:33:22,290
Tell me what you use it for.

2818
01:33:22,330 --> 01:33:23,370
I told you the one thing I use

2819
01:33:23,370 --> 01:33:24,490
instead of search engines.

2820
01:33:24,490 --> 01:33:26,210
I'll use perplexity or something.

2821
01:33:26,570 --> 01:33:29,530
By the way, when they make mistakes, which

2822
01:33:29,530 --> 01:33:32,550
they do, it's obvious because it's just so

2823
01:33:32,550 --> 01:33:33,730
you said, what is this?

2824
01:33:33,750 --> 01:33:34,470
This is bull crap.

2825
01:33:34,570 --> 01:33:36,190
This is not even close to anything that

2826
01:33:36,190 --> 01:33:37,450
I am interested in.

2827
01:33:38,950 --> 01:33:39,430
Right.

2828
01:33:40,190 --> 01:33:41,430
Or it's just office.

2829
01:33:41,690 --> 01:33:43,430
This is these numbers aren't accurate.

2830
01:33:43,530 --> 01:33:45,290
Then you can go double check them using

2831
01:33:45,290 --> 01:33:46,310
a regular search engine.

2832
01:33:46,770 --> 01:33:48,910
So you just basically spent the wasted time

2833
01:33:48,910 --> 01:33:50,790
and went back and had to do extra

2834
01:33:50,790 --> 01:33:51,530
work here.

2835
01:33:51,830 --> 01:33:53,390
Now, if I was going to complain about

2836
01:33:53,390 --> 01:33:55,030
it, I would say it's the same thing

2837
01:33:55,030 --> 01:33:57,770
as the as the the problem you have

2838
01:33:57,770 --> 01:34:01,270
with with hand calculator in schools.

2839
01:34:01,970 --> 01:34:04,930
Kids don't can't do math in their heads.

2840
01:34:05,250 --> 01:34:07,010
And so you go to a grocery store

2841
01:34:07,010 --> 01:34:10,150
and you give somebody a two dollar bill

2842
01:34:10,150 --> 01:34:13,150
for a buck fifty item and they give

2843
01:34:13,150 --> 01:34:15,690
you twenty one dollars and fifty cents in

2844
01:34:15,690 --> 01:34:19,510
change because they put it into the machine.

2845
01:34:20,090 --> 01:34:20,610
Right.

2846
01:34:21,010 --> 01:34:23,550
And so the machine tells them you just

2847
01:34:23,550 --> 01:34:25,130
you just gave him two bucks and the

2848
01:34:25,130 --> 01:34:27,090
machine tells him to give you twenty one

2849
01:34:27,090 --> 01:34:29,870
dollars back and they see that number and

2850
01:34:29,870 --> 01:34:31,250
that's what they pull right out of the

2851
01:34:31,250 --> 01:34:31,430
till.

2852
01:34:31,510 --> 01:34:33,190
This has happened to me more than once.

2853
01:34:34,350 --> 01:34:37,910
And this is because nobody's aware of anything.

2854
01:34:38,090 --> 01:34:39,390
There's just a lack of awareness.

2855
01:34:39,590 --> 01:34:42,210
And I'm fearful that because of the lack

2856
01:34:42,210 --> 01:34:45,750
of awareness of reality, at some point, a

2857
01:34:45,750 --> 01:34:48,030
certain the next generation coming up with a

2858
01:34:48,030 --> 01:34:51,290
disease or whoever comes after them will start

2859
01:34:51,290 --> 01:34:55,390
to see this stuff as they'll be unable

2860
01:34:55,390 --> 01:34:57,590
to look at a result and say, no,

2861
01:34:57,650 --> 01:34:58,830
no, no, this can't be right.

2862
01:34:59,510 --> 01:34:59,910
Right.

2863
01:35:00,250 --> 01:35:01,290
Which is what you would do at the

2864
01:35:01,290 --> 01:35:01,970
cash register.

2865
01:35:02,090 --> 01:35:03,290
But that's already that's done.

2866
01:35:03,450 --> 01:35:03,630
Everyone.

2867
01:35:03,790 --> 01:35:04,330
No one can do it.

2868
01:35:04,390 --> 01:35:04,950
They can't.

2869
01:35:04,970 --> 01:35:07,030
As I mentioned this on the show before,

2870
01:35:07,370 --> 01:35:09,510
I'm at the store and some one kid

2871
01:35:09,510 --> 01:35:11,870
who's walking past and he and he says,

2872
01:35:11,930 --> 01:35:12,530
oh, it's three o'clock.

2873
01:35:12,610 --> 01:35:13,590
We got to get out of here.

2874
01:35:13,690 --> 01:35:15,670
And the other kid says to him, oh,

2875
01:35:15,710 --> 01:35:17,250
you can read clock.

2876
01:35:19,630 --> 01:35:21,270
You can read clock.

2877
01:35:21,570 --> 01:35:22,690
It's like Chinese.

2878
01:35:22,850 --> 01:35:23,810
You can read Chinese.

2879
01:35:23,930 --> 01:35:25,030
You can read clock.

2880
01:35:26,150 --> 01:35:28,110
So the kid says, you can read clock.

2881
01:35:28,110 --> 01:35:28,670
He says, yeah.

2882
01:35:29,090 --> 01:35:30,210
And he said, oh, wow.

2883
01:35:30,310 --> 01:35:32,490
And then they leave this on their way.

2884
01:35:32,630 --> 01:35:35,030
But when I heard that phrase, I said,

2885
01:35:35,090 --> 01:35:37,390
oh, my God, this is not good.

2886
01:35:37,470 --> 01:35:39,450
And this is like, you know, people can't

2887
01:35:39,450 --> 01:35:40,310
read cursive.

2888
01:35:40,570 --> 01:35:41,830
They can't read clock.

2889
01:35:42,010 --> 01:35:43,670
And they won't be able to see that

2890
01:35:43,670 --> 01:35:46,050
a perplexity result is bull crap.

2891
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:49,680
So that's what my concern is.

2892
01:35:49,820 --> 01:35:49,920
Right.

2893
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:52,460
Well, that kind of your your your theory

2894
01:35:52,460 --> 01:35:54,840
is that because it's going to deteriorate to

2895
01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:57,220
such an extreme that we will get to

2896
01:35:57,220 --> 01:35:58,020
my fear.

2897
01:35:58,540 --> 01:35:58,960
No.

2898
01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:01,440
Well, my hope my hope is that it

2899
01:36:01,440 --> 01:36:03,040
deteriorates to an extreme.

2900
01:36:04,500 --> 01:36:08,160
So, for instance, so I use chat GPT

2901
01:36:08,160 --> 01:36:10,060
because you you question this.

2902
01:36:10,100 --> 01:36:11,940
And I said, here was my question.

2903
01:36:12,500 --> 01:36:15,140
Find Bible scripture when I'm annoyed by an

2904
01:36:15,140 --> 01:36:16,020
older colleague.

2905
01:36:17,900 --> 01:36:20,240
And it sends it's very good.

2906
01:36:20,420 --> 01:36:22,960
It sends back Leviticus 1932.

2907
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:25,420
Leviticus, the worst.

2908
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:27,760
Stand up in the presence of the aged

2909
01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:30,500
show respect for the elderly and revere your

2910
01:36:30,500 --> 01:36:30,860
God.

2911
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:31,740
I am the Lord.

2912
01:36:31,820 --> 01:36:32,440
There you go.

2913
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:34,580
So that's what Mimi says.

2914
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:37,520
Mimi said that she Adams acting a lot

2915
01:36:37,520 --> 01:36:38,420
nicer towards you.

2916
01:36:38,480 --> 01:36:39,060
I wonder why.

2917
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:41,080
And I guess because he's become born again.

2918
01:36:41,180 --> 01:36:41,600
That's right.

2919
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:42,940
He says, no, that can't be.

2920
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:45,200
But now you have just actually confirmed what

2921
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:46,400
I my theory was.

2922
01:36:46,440 --> 01:36:47,060
It is again.

2923
01:36:47,220 --> 01:36:48,100
I'm right on the money.

2924
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:48,340
Yeah.

2925
01:36:48,440 --> 01:36:50,320
And I didn't need chat GPT to tell

2926
01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:51,200
you you are right.

2927
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:51,920
Absolutely.

2928
01:36:52,220 --> 01:36:53,080
Be quick to listen.

2929
01:36:53,260 --> 01:36:53,980
Slow to speak.

2930
01:36:53,980 --> 01:36:55,240
Even slower to get angry.

2931
01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:57,220
Yes, that's correct.

2932
01:36:58,980 --> 01:37:00,500
I know you get a kick out of

2933
01:37:00,500 --> 01:37:00,860
it.

2934
01:37:01,420 --> 01:37:03,460
Well, the funny thing is, I actually believe

2935
01:37:03,460 --> 01:37:04,340
you did this.

2936
01:37:04,580 --> 01:37:04,880
Look up.

2937
01:37:05,380 --> 01:37:06,400
Yeah, of course I did.

2938
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:06,920
Of course.

2939
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:07,280
Yeah.

2940
01:37:07,420 --> 01:37:07,720
Yeah.

2941
01:37:07,940 --> 01:37:08,160
Yeah.

2942
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:08,920
No, I did.

2943
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:10,200
Yeah.

2944
01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:10,620
Thanks.

2945
01:37:10,700 --> 01:37:10,920
Yeah.

2946
01:37:11,140 --> 01:37:12,100
It's good for that.

2947
01:37:12,660 --> 01:37:14,900
Let's talk about getting fired because I have

2948
01:37:14,900 --> 01:37:15,780
several boots on.

2949
01:37:16,100 --> 01:37:18,380
And we have several boots on the ground

2950
01:37:18,380 --> 01:37:21,560
reports, which I think are interesting because they

2951
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:23,340
from our audience, because they go a little

2952
01:37:23,340 --> 01:37:24,340
bit against the narrative.

2953
01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:26,620
We go back to mislead.

2954
01:37:27,240 --> 01:37:31,880
It's to beaver regarding the mass federal employee

2955
01:37:31,880 --> 01:37:32,820
buyout.

2956
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:34,940
We want to start with the administration's offer

2957
01:37:34,940 --> 01:37:37,220
to buy with a mass buyout to federal

2958
01:37:37,220 --> 01:37:38,200
employees out there.

2959
01:37:38,380 --> 01:37:40,340
How many do you hope will take it?

2960
01:37:40,440 --> 01:37:42,500
And by what percentage of the president want

2961
01:37:42,500 --> 01:37:43,820
to downside the federal workforce?

2962
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:46,000
Well, good morning, Michael.

2963
01:37:46,060 --> 01:37:46,940
It's great to see you.

2964
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:48,540
Thanks for having me on the program.

2965
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:50,840
This is another promise made and kept by

2966
01:37:50,840 --> 01:37:51,520
President Trump.

2967
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:53,860
He told the American people on the campaign

2968
01:37:53,860 --> 01:37:55,500
trail that he was going to make our

2969
01:37:55,500 --> 01:37:58,380
federal government more efficient and productive.

2970
01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:00,780
And it is a fact that only 6

2971
01:38:00,780 --> 01:38:03,300
% of the federal workforce here in Washington,

2972
01:38:03,460 --> 01:38:05,960
DC actually shows up to the office.

2973
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:07,720
That is completely unacceptable.

2974
01:38:08,740 --> 01:38:11,780
Middle-class Americans, our teachers, our nurses, our

2975
01:38:11,780 --> 01:38:14,520
law enforcement officers who keep this economy working,

2976
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:17,340
show up to the office every single day.

2977
01:38:17,460 --> 01:38:19,700
And president Trump expects that federal employees do

2978
01:38:19,700 --> 01:38:20,120
the same.

2979
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:23,240
So his order, as presented in that memo

2980
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:26,280
last night, directs federal agencies to come up

2981
01:38:26,280 --> 01:38:28,960
with a return to work policy for their

2982
01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:29,500
agencies.

2983
01:38:30,040 --> 01:38:31,760
And if the federal bureaucrats in this city

2984
01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:33,300
don't like that, well, guess what?

2985
01:38:33,340 --> 01:38:35,220
They can resign from their positions and this

2986
01:38:35,220 --> 01:38:38,160
administration is offering them eight months of pay.

2987
01:38:38,220 --> 01:38:40,700
They will be paid through September just to

2988
01:38:40,700 --> 01:38:42,120
simply resign from their positions.

2989
01:38:42,380 --> 01:38:44,420
Now, what I thought was interesting is that

2990
01:38:44,420 --> 01:38:47,340
when, when this this order came out kind

2991
01:38:47,340 --> 01:38:49,640
of the same day, I kept receiving emails

2992
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:51,300
from people saying, keep me anonymous.

2993
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:52,820
This is going around.

2994
01:38:52,940 --> 01:38:53,060
Yeah.

2995
01:38:53,060 --> 01:38:56,280
I took the memo that you, you had

2996
01:38:56,280 --> 01:38:56,700
it too.

2997
01:38:56,820 --> 01:38:57,100
Yeah.

2998
01:38:57,860 --> 01:38:59,400
Somebody sent us the entire memo.

2999
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:01,620
I cut and pasted the appropriate part and

3000
01:39:01,620 --> 01:39:03,660
put it in the last newsletter that a

3001
01:39:03,660 --> 01:39:05,400
lot of people didn't get because they're not

3002
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:08,800
complaining to spam assassin that the newsletter is

3003
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:10,100
not showing up, but it was in there.

3004
01:39:10,140 --> 01:39:12,280
You could read it yourself if you were.

3005
01:39:12,420 --> 01:39:12,580
Yeah.

3006
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:14,920
But my, my point here is that it

3007
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:16,320
was, it was policy.

3008
01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:18,580
It wasn't like some secret thing, but this

3009
01:39:18,580 --> 01:39:21,020
is, this is kind of how broken the

3010
01:39:21,020 --> 01:39:22,700
whole system is.

3011
01:39:22,780 --> 01:39:23,160
I agree.

3012
01:39:23,820 --> 01:39:25,000
So here's boots on the ground.

3013
01:39:25,220 --> 01:39:25,800
Adam, I have to wait.

3014
01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:26,920
Memo is out there.

3015
01:39:26,980 --> 01:39:27,320
I mean, what?

3016
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:28,720
Anonymous.

3017
01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:29,140
Okay.

3018
01:39:29,220 --> 01:39:30,300
I have to weigh in on all this

3019
01:39:30,300 --> 01:39:32,260
stuff happening with Trump and the federal workforce,

3020
01:39:32,420 --> 01:39:34,700
mostly because this is complete bullcrap fork in

3021
01:39:34,700 --> 01:39:35,140
the road.

3022
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:36,620
That was the title of the email fork

3023
01:39:36,620 --> 01:39:37,140
in the road.

3024
01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:37,540
Okay.

3025
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:39,000
Here it is.

3026
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:41,860
I work, I work from home and I

3027
01:39:41,860 --> 01:39:43,480
work my ass off and a lot of

3028
01:39:43,480 --> 01:39:43,900
us do.

3029
01:39:43,900 --> 01:39:47,140
I'm a team lead HR specialist for CBP

3030
01:39:47,140 --> 01:39:48,240
customs, border patrol.

3031
01:39:48,500 --> 01:39:50,440
I don't mind going to work every day

3032
01:39:50,440 --> 01:39:51,940
in person, but can we have a little

3033
01:39:51,940 --> 01:39:52,420
respect?

3034
01:39:52,900 --> 01:39:54,920
There's a ton of waste systems that don't

3035
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:56,680
work lazy and overpaid people.

3036
01:39:56,840 --> 01:39:59,100
Things need to change, but getting people to

3037
01:39:59,100 --> 01:40:01,240
quit isn't actually going to fix the problem.

3038
01:40:01,340 --> 01:40:03,580
It's literally just a publicity stunt.

3039
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:05,620
I cut down the federal government.

3040
01:40:05,740 --> 01:40:07,360
No, you got a bunch of people quit

3041
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:08,920
because you didn't fix anything.

3042
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:11,120
We're just going to hire everyone back.

3043
01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:13,580
I guess I'm really frustrated because they just

3044
01:40:13,580 --> 01:40:16,440
introduced a new HR payroll system at CBP.

3045
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:17,720
That's a complete failure.

3046
01:40:18,380 --> 01:40:19,720
We have to go with the new system

3047
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:21,480
because we spent too much already.

3048
01:40:22,020 --> 01:40:22,680
Pay gets delayed.

3049
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:24,980
Our hands are tied due to system glitches.

3050
01:40:25,380 --> 01:40:26,880
No one is going to be held accountable.

3051
01:40:27,020 --> 01:40:28,100
It's all bull crap.

3052
01:40:28,280 --> 01:40:30,360
And we on the lowest, on the lower

3053
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:32,280
level are left to take the blame for

3054
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:34,400
leadership and programmers bad work.

3055
01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:36,660
So as much as I don't regret voting

3056
01:40:36,660 --> 01:40:38,920
for Trump, don't talk to me about forks

3057
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:41,000
in the road and the self-righteous bull

3058
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:41,300
crap.

3059
01:40:41,620 --> 01:40:42,720
It's a publicity stunt.

3060
01:40:42,820 --> 01:40:44,160
I lived through the VAX mandate.

3061
01:40:44,300 --> 01:40:46,580
I'll live through this because people still need

3062
01:40:46,580 --> 01:40:48,120
to get paid and someone needs to sort

3063
01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:50,640
through people's mistakes, mistakes made by the higher

3064
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:52,860
ups that we got blamed for draining the

3065
01:40:52,860 --> 01:40:53,940
swamp, my ass.

3066
01:40:54,200 --> 01:40:55,700
It should be steady and meticulous.

3067
01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:56,900
I see waste every day.

3068
01:40:56,980 --> 01:40:59,120
Maybe they should ask me, but insulting your

3069
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:01,080
whole workforce and getting people to quit won't

3070
01:41:01,080 --> 01:41:01,740
change anything.

3071
01:41:01,780 --> 01:41:02,520
It's a scam.

3072
01:41:05,730 --> 01:41:07,610
I think we need doge, doge to the

3073
01:41:07,610 --> 01:41:07,930
rescue.

3074
01:41:08,490 --> 01:41:08,970
Wow.

3075
01:41:10,030 --> 01:41:12,070
That's a guy's on a roll, but there

3076
01:41:12,070 --> 01:41:12,670
is a girl.

3077
01:41:12,790 --> 01:41:15,250
Actually, this is, um, well, she's good.

3078
01:41:15,570 --> 01:41:17,150
Well, I think she makes a good point.

3079
01:41:17,150 --> 01:41:18,490
It's like what you need.

3080
01:41:18,730 --> 01:41:19,430
You need it.

3081
01:41:19,450 --> 01:41:21,850
You need a suggestion box.

3082
01:41:22,170 --> 01:41:23,950
She likes working at home.

3083
01:41:24,130 --> 01:41:26,730
And I, I, I was waiting for your,

3084
01:41:26,910 --> 01:41:29,990
for your, uh, analysis of this.

3085
01:41:30,130 --> 01:41:32,690
She likes working at home and now she's

3086
01:41:32,690 --> 01:41:35,690
irked because it was, it's been going on

3087
01:41:35,690 --> 01:41:36,630
for years now.

3088
01:41:36,650 --> 01:41:38,670
And it's like, if you can't, I know

3089
01:41:38,670 --> 01:41:41,030
again, talking about, you mentioned earlier, the substat

3090
01:41:41,030 --> 01:41:43,310
columns, you go to dvorak.substack.com.

3091
01:41:43,390 --> 01:41:44,270
There's an old column.

3092
01:41:44,450 --> 01:41:46,150
I wrote about a year or two ago

3093
01:41:46,150 --> 01:41:48,070
about how working at home is not what

3094
01:41:48,070 --> 01:41:49,030
it's cracked up to be.

3095
01:41:49,430 --> 01:41:50,850
Cause I've been doing it most of my

3096
01:41:50,850 --> 01:41:52,510
life and I know how it works and

3097
01:41:52,510 --> 01:41:54,330
I know why, why it works and why

3098
01:41:54,330 --> 01:41:55,690
it doesn't work and why some people can

3099
01:41:55,690 --> 01:41:57,410
do it and some people can't.

3100
01:41:57,410 --> 01:41:58,690
And it's overrated.

3101
01:41:58,950 --> 01:42:02,410
And so you still wake up grumpy, whether

3102
01:42:02,410 --> 01:42:03,850
you're working from home or not.

3103
01:42:04,710 --> 01:42:06,950
So the point, but I can see her

3104
01:42:06,950 --> 01:42:07,450
position.

3105
01:42:07,710 --> 01:42:10,430
She's like, you know, she's got it all

3106
01:42:10,430 --> 01:42:11,130
worked out.

3107
01:42:11,230 --> 01:42:12,310
She's doing a good job.

3108
01:42:12,410 --> 01:42:13,990
But a lot of people, I mean, most

3109
01:42:13,990 --> 01:42:16,550
public relations people nowadays work from home and

3110
01:42:16,550 --> 01:42:18,270
they don't have the big offices anymore.

3111
01:42:18,570 --> 01:42:20,570
And in some, it's a good way to

3112
01:42:20,570 --> 01:42:22,550
save money cause you don't have to offices.

3113
01:42:22,770 --> 01:42:23,890
You have to, you know, people have to,

3114
01:42:24,690 --> 01:42:26,510
you know, they don't have a coffee machine.

3115
01:42:26,610 --> 01:42:27,670
They have coffee at the house.

3116
01:42:28,310 --> 01:42:30,350
Uh, there's a lot of benefits to it,

3117
01:42:30,350 --> 01:42:32,510
but at the same time, uh, and I

3118
01:42:32,510 --> 01:42:34,330
think a publicity stunt idea is not bad.

3119
01:42:34,330 --> 01:42:38,310
I have two clips, one which goes beyond

3120
01:42:38,310 --> 01:42:40,790
the publicity stunt, but I want you to

3121
01:42:40,790 --> 01:42:41,450
play your rap.

3122
01:42:42,050 --> 01:42:43,710
This, if you got more before I play

3123
01:42:43,710 --> 01:42:44,230
these two.

3124
01:42:44,790 --> 01:42:46,510
No, I want to come back to your

3125
01:42:46,510 --> 01:42:48,370
working at home and your grumpiness, but I'll

3126
01:42:48,370 --> 01:42:49,370
do that after your clips.

3127
01:42:49,490 --> 01:42:50,010
That'll be fine.

3128
01:42:50,930 --> 01:42:52,690
Well, the first is just the general clip,

3129
01:42:52,730 --> 01:42:54,550
which I thought was the classic, you know,

3130
01:42:55,110 --> 01:42:57,610
background or, and this is the worker buyouts

3131
01:42:57,610 --> 01:42:59,430
NTD clip.

3132
01:42:59,530 --> 01:43:02,850
The Trump administration is offering substantial buyouts to

3133
01:43:02,850 --> 01:43:04,810
federal workers as part of a plan to

3134
01:43:04,810 --> 01:43:06,690
drastically shrink the government.

3135
01:43:06,930 --> 01:43:09,010
And it is Daniel Monahan has for on

3136
01:43:09,010 --> 01:43:11,710
the so-called deferred resignation program.

3137
01:43:12,410 --> 01:43:15,390
The program allows federal employees to stay on

3138
01:43:15,390 --> 01:43:18,410
the payroll until September 30th without having to

3139
01:43:18,410 --> 01:43:18,730
work.

3140
01:43:19,150 --> 01:43:21,470
A mass email was sent to federal workers,

3141
01:43:21,810 --> 01:43:24,350
giving them until February 6th to decide whether

3142
01:43:24,350 --> 01:43:25,150
to participate.

3143
01:43:25,630 --> 01:43:29,430
The unprecedented message instructed those interested to simply

3144
01:43:29,430 --> 01:43:31,370
reply with the word resign.

3145
01:43:31,370 --> 01:43:35,370
The offer applies to most civilian employees, excluding

3146
01:43:35,370 --> 01:43:38,530
those in immigration, national security, and the postal

3147
01:43:38,530 --> 01:43:39,170
service.

3148
01:43:39,670 --> 01:43:42,190
The government currently employs around 2.3 million

3149
01:43:42,190 --> 01:43:45,090
civilian workers, not counting postal employees.

3150
01:43:45,590 --> 01:43:48,170
The email warns that those who decline the

3151
01:43:48,170 --> 01:43:50,670
offer should expect a shift toward a more

3152
01:43:50,670 --> 01:43:54,830
streamlined workforce based on four key pillars, return

3153
01:43:54,830 --> 01:43:59,110
to office, ending remote work, performance culture, implementing

3154
01:43:59,110 --> 01:44:03,190
updated standards to reward top performers while addressing

3155
01:44:03,190 --> 01:44:07,030
those who fail to meet expectations, more streamlined

3156
01:44:07,030 --> 01:44:11,750
and flexible workforce, downsizing federal agencies through restructuring,

3157
01:44:11,910 --> 01:44:15,690
realignments and layoffs, and enhanced standards of conduct,

3158
01:44:16,070 --> 01:44:17,610
tightening workplace rules.

3159
01:44:17,750 --> 01:44:21,530
Now that I'm thinking about this, wouldn't it

3160
01:44:21,530 --> 01:44:24,190
be better instead of complaining to a podcast,

3161
01:44:24,430 --> 01:44:27,750
which I appreciate, by the way, to take

3162
01:44:27,750 --> 01:44:30,510
the buyout and then go public about these

3163
01:44:30,510 --> 01:44:31,610
horrible systems?

3164
01:44:32,090 --> 01:44:33,570
Say, you know, I have something good to

3165
01:44:33,570 --> 01:44:37,210
get on TikTok and say, you know, there's

3166
01:44:37,210 --> 01:44:38,730
a problem with what's going on.

3167
01:44:38,810 --> 01:44:41,050
I mean, it's a good rant, but you

3168
01:44:41,050 --> 01:44:42,750
should just take the money and then be

3169
01:44:42,750 --> 01:44:43,310
a whistleblower.

3170
01:44:44,110 --> 01:44:45,190
I mean, I guess you can do that

3171
01:44:45,190 --> 01:44:45,950
or maybe not.

3172
01:44:45,990 --> 01:44:46,450
I don't know.

3173
01:44:46,730 --> 01:44:47,350
I think you can.

3174
01:44:47,390 --> 01:44:48,830
I don't think they're giving you a non

3175
01:44:48,830 --> 01:44:50,270
-disparagement clause to sign.

3176
01:44:50,450 --> 01:44:52,730
But I think people should go public with

3177
01:44:52,730 --> 01:44:52,910
this.

3178
01:44:53,230 --> 01:44:54,810
What she said is important.

3179
01:44:54,810 --> 01:44:57,610
If there's a payroll problem, then we got

3180
01:44:57,610 --> 01:44:58,270
to fix that.

3181
01:44:59,490 --> 01:45:01,690
It's possible she won't get her money.

3182
01:45:02,270 --> 01:45:03,250
Here's the deal.

3183
01:45:03,610 --> 01:45:05,830
Now, this is a local report from WAMU,

3184
01:45:07,030 --> 01:45:10,030
which I think is American University, public radio

3185
01:45:10,030 --> 01:45:12,750
station in D.C., and they bring in

3186
01:45:12,750 --> 01:45:15,890
that maniac, Tim Kaine, who has a whole

3187
01:45:15,890 --> 01:45:18,750
theory about this, which I've not heard anyplace

3188
01:45:18,750 --> 01:45:20,810
else yet, but I think it could catch

3189
01:45:20,810 --> 01:45:21,130
on.

3190
01:45:21,230 --> 01:45:23,350
This is the Trump layoff scheme.

3191
01:45:23,350 --> 01:45:26,430
The pressure from President Donald Trump is mounting

3192
01:45:26,430 --> 01:45:28,790
on federal workers to return to the office

3193
01:45:28,790 --> 01:45:30,070
full-time or quit.

3194
01:45:30,650 --> 01:45:33,450
Last night, the Office of Personnel Management circulated

3195
01:45:33,450 --> 01:45:35,010
a letter to federal workers.

3196
01:45:35,630 --> 01:45:38,950
The letter offered, quote, deferred resignation to any

3197
01:45:38,950 --> 01:45:41,330
federal worker who would take the offer by

3198
01:45:41,330 --> 01:45:42,610
February 6th.

3199
01:45:42,830 --> 01:45:45,610
The offer would allow workers to continue receiving

3200
01:45:45,610 --> 01:45:48,830
their full benefits and pay through September 30th.

3201
01:45:49,110 --> 01:45:52,050
An OPM spokesperson says employees that accept the

3202
01:45:52,050 --> 01:45:55,050
deferred resignation would be put on administrative leave

3203
01:45:55,050 --> 01:45:55,970
until they depart.

3204
01:45:56,530 --> 01:45:58,910
Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, speaking on the Senate

3205
01:45:58,910 --> 01:46:01,190
floor, called it a classic move in the

3206
01:46:01,190 --> 01:46:02,690
president's business playbook.

3207
01:46:03,150 --> 01:46:05,370
Yeah, the president has tried to terrorize you

3208
01:46:05,370 --> 01:46:06,890
for about a week and then gives you

3209
01:46:06,890 --> 01:46:08,190
a little sweetheart offer.

3210
01:46:08,530 --> 01:46:10,450
If you resign in the next week, we're

3211
01:46:10,450 --> 01:46:11,930
just going to pay you for doing nothing

3212
01:46:11,930 --> 01:46:13,150
for the next seven months.

3213
01:46:13,670 --> 01:46:14,850
Don't be fooled.

3214
01:46:15,350 --> 01:46:18,210
He's tricked hundreds of people with that offer.

3215
01:46:18,690 --> 01:46:21,230
If you accept that offer and resign, he'll

3216
01:46:21,230 --> 01:46:23,350
stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors.

3217
01:46:23,790 --> 01:46:25,850
You don't have any authority to do this.

3218
01:46:26,190 --> 01:46:28,350
Kaine added that Congress has not approved a

3219
01:46:28,350 --> 01:46:30,250
budget item for such a move.

3220
01:46:30,450 --> 01:46:30,810
Oh.

3221
01:46:32,090 --> 01:46:32,570
Whoa.

3222
01:46:33,170 --> 01:46:34,070
A little twist.

3223
01:46:34,310 --> 01:46:34,990
Well, yeah.

3224
01:46:35,770 --> 01:46:38,090
That seems like that would be a bad

3225
01:46:38,090 --> 01:46:39,270
look if he did that.

3226
01:46:39,370 --> 01:46:40,490
I don't think this is good.

3227
01:46:40,510 --> 01:46:41,150
Yeah, I agree.

3228
01:46:41,350 --> 01:46:41,830
Bad look.

3229
01:46:41,830 --> 01:46:43,110
Tim Kaine is nuts.

3230
01:46:44,050 --> 01:46:46,430
But I liked him throwing it in.

3231
01:46:46,470 --> 01:46:47,550
If you want to throw a wrench in

3232
01:46:47,550 --> 01:46:49,990
the works and you want to create fear

3233
01:46:49,990 --> 01:46:53,330
and doubt, you throw something like that out.

3234
01:46:53,610 --> 01:46:58,950
I have a procedural issue I'd like to

3235
01:46:58,950 --> 01:47:02,430
discuss, just briefly, since we both work from

3236
01:47:02,430 --> 01:47:04,290
home and I don't have an HR department

3237
01:47:04,290 --> 01:47:08,530
to complain to, although you do our payroll,

3238
01:47:08,750 --> 01:47:09,330
which I appreciate.

3239
01:47:10,470 --> 01:47:13,910
When I forward an email to you, I

3240
01:47:13,910 --> 01:47:15,630
forward an email to you.

3241
01:47:15,630 --> 01:47:16,210
Yeah.

3242
01:47:16,950 --> 01:47:18,490
You have this habit.

3243
01:47:18,490 --> 01:47:20,530
It's happened three times.

3244
01:47:21,190 --> 01:47:22,950
I know exactly what you're going to complain

3245
01:47:22,950 --> 01:47:23,290
about.

3246
01:47:23,890 --> 01:47:25,950
And then you will reply to me and

3247
01:47:25,950 --> 01:47:30,370
cc the original person with my comment to

3248
01:47:30,370 --> 01:47:30,610
you.

3249
01:47:30,730 --> 01:47:33,110
That is a total breach of netiquette and

3250
01:47:33,110 --> 01:47:33,710
protocol.

3251
01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:44,300
That's your response?

3252
01:47:49,990 --> 01:47:51,190
I'm not...

3253
01:47:51,190 --> 01:47:52,790
Is that what you expected me to say?

3254
01:47:52,810 --> 01:47:53,290
No, no.

3255
01:47:54,130 --> 01:47:56,630
I knew that I'd been doing this, but

3256
01:47:56,630 --> 01:47:59,550
I don't know that I didn't know, and

3257
01:47:59,550 --> 01:48:03,410
I apologize for this, that I'm including your

3258
01:48:03,410 --> 01:48:06,870
little one-on-one gripe, because that's a

3259
01:48:06,870 --> 01:48:08,190
back channel the way I see it.

3260
01:48:08,230 --> 01:48:08,630
Yes.

3261
01:48:09,130 --> 01:48:11,090
And I should not be putting that in

3262
01:48:11,090 --> 01:48:11,350
there.

3263
01:48:11,410 --> 01:48:12,430
It should have been taken out.

3264
01:48:12,550 --> 01:48:13,970
But most of the time it goes like

3265
01:48:13,970 --> 01:48:14,370
this.

3266
01:48:14,850 --> 01:48:16,550
You do something and you send it to

3267
01:48:16,550 --> 01:48:17,250
me and then I'll send a note.

3268
01:48:17,270 --> 01:48:18,570
I'm sorry, my time is limited.

3269
01:48:18,730 --> 01:48:19,790
It's a yes or no answer.

3270
01:48:24,710 --> 01:48:26,530
That is the end of that.

3271
01:48:26,790 --> 01:48:29,830
I will be careful in the future, because

3272
01:48:29,830 --> 01:48:31,850
that is a huge mistake on my part.

3273
01:48:32,270 --> 01:48:34,010
But you took the time to copy and

3274
01:48:34,010 --> 01:48:34,110
paste.

3275
01:48:34,110 --> 01:48:35,290
I don't think you had to be made

3276
01:48:35,290 --> 01:48:38,630
public that I'm a doofus, but okay, thank

3277
01:48:38,630 --> 01:48:38,850
you.

3278
01:48:38,870 --> 01:48:40,770
Thank you for pointing this out in public.

3279
01:48:41,050 --> 01:48:43,050
You take the time to copy and paste

3280
01:48:43,050 --> 01:48:44,790
and then berate the person.

3281
01:48:46,370 --> 01:48:49,010
And it was a simple meme, because you

3282
01:48:49,010 --> 01:48:49,490
were grumpy.

3283
01:48:49,690 --> 01:48:52,150
You did end with, I woke up grumpy.

3284
01:48:52,670 --> 01:48:54,930
And I said, hey, maybe something for the

3285
01:48:54,930 --> 01:48:55,310
newsletter.

3286
01:48:55,470 --> 01:48:58,990
And then you wrote this substack-length email

3287
01:48:58,990 --> 01:49:01,030
about why this meme was no good.

3288
01:49:01,430 --> 01:49:02,970
So it wasn't a huge problem.

3289
01:49:03,650 --> 01:49:06,110
But yeah, I found it interesting.

3290
01:49:06,270 --> 01:49:07,710
No one has ever done that to me

3291
01:49:07,710 --> 01:49:08,130
but you.

3292
01:49:09,230 --> 01:49:10,190
So it's okay.

3293
01:49:10,990 --> 01:49:14,610
Okay, now I know to which specific email

3294
01:49:14,610 --> 01:49:15,490
you're referring to.

3295
01:49:15,490 --> 01:49:17,910
I did not think that this may be

3296
01:49:17,910 --> 01:49:21,090
a good, for the newsletter comment, was a

3297
01:49:21,090 --> 01:49:24,950
back-channel comment that was so secretive that

3298
01:49:24,950 --> 01:49:26,410
I couldn't leave it in there.

3299
01:49:26,650 --> 01:49:28,530
No, I'm using that example.

3300
01:49:28,630 --> 01:49:29,730
The other ones are irrelevant.

3301
01:49:30,250 --> 01:49:31,870
But it just makes me weird.

3302
01:49:31,990 --> 01:49:33,910
But okay, noted.

3303
01:49:36,170 --> 01:49:38,730
Wow, you might just say, F you, it's

3304
01:49:38,730 --> 01:49:39,010
noted.

3305
01:49:40,330 --> 01:49:42,250
You have taught me well, Dvorak.

3306
01:49:42,290 --> 01:49:44,210
I know all the tricks, I really do.

3307
01:49:44,210 --> 01:49:45,390
I really do.

3308
01:49:45,890 --> 01:49:48,490
No, I just, anyway, we're done.

3309
01:49:48,910 --> 01:49:50,330
Apology accepted, it's no problem.

3310
01:49:50,450 --> 01:49:51,890
But you know, I am kind of your

3311
01:49:51,890 --> 01:49:52,390
secretary.

3312
01:49:52,590 --> 01:49:53,530
You know, it's like I get all the

3313
01:49:53,530 --> 01:49:54,290
emails for you.

3314
01:49:54,730 --> 01:49:57,710
You know, Johnson, Johnson, Johnson, Johnson.

3315
01:49:57,710 --> 01:49:58,750
Would you please email John?

3316
01:49:58,750 --> 01:50:00,670
I like the last, you got one recently,

3317
01:50:00,870 --> 01:50:03,650
you forwarded, it said, I'm writing this to

3318
01:50:03,650 --> 01:50:06,650
you because I can't spell Dvorak's name.

3319
01:50:07,430 --> 01:50:09,450
It's on the website.

3320
01:50:09,910 --> 01:50:12,030
It's on every album art.

3321
01:50:12,030 --> 01:50:15,970
It says Dvorak and Curry, every single album

3322
01:50:15,970 --> 01:50:17,330
art's got my name spelled.

3323
01:50:17,770 --> 01:50:21,230
It was the same as the sub stack

3324
01:50:21,230 --> 01:50:24,690
from our Wall Street guy, Angel of Smyrna.

3325
01:50:25,170 --> 01:50:27,690
And I spelled it five times in the

3326
01:50:27,690 --> 01:50:29,570
podcast during the donation segment.

3327
01:50:30,210 --> 01:50:32,250
And people like, eh, I went to bingo

3328
01:50:32,250 --> 01:50:34,290
.io and I couldn't find it.

3329
01:50:34,410 --> 01:50:35,410
Like, no, you didn't.

3330
01:50:35,470 --> 01:50:37,910
You're just lazy, you want me to look

3331
01:50:37,910 --> 01:50:38,970
up a link for you.

3332
01:50:39,410 --> 01:50:40,410
That's what it is.

3333
01:50:40,970 --> 01:50:41,770
It's all right.

3334
01:50:41,830 --> 01:50:42,970
We do it as a public service.

3335
01:50:43,030 --> 01:50:44,310
We do all of this as a public

3336
01:50:44,310 --> 01:50:45,610
service and we're happy to.

3337
01:50:46,210 --> 01:50:48,430
We're happy to because I would, I could

3338
01:50:48,430 --> 01:50:50,930
not imagine doing anything different or with anyone

3339
01:50:50,930 --> 01:50:51,610
else, John.

3340
01:50:51,750 --> 01:50:54,210
So just so you know, I love doing

3341
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:54,470
this.

3342
01:50:54,490 --> 01:50:56,290
Did that come out of the biblical thing

3343
01:50:56,290 --> 01:50:56,470
too?

3344
01:50:56,770 --> 01:50:57,290
It sure did.

3345
01:50:58,490 --> 01:51:01,230
Approach everyone with kindness, gentleness, and love.

3346
01:51:01,330 --> 01:51:01,810
There you go.

3347
01:51:01,870 --> 01:51:02,910
And with that, I want to thank you

3348
01:51:02,910 --> 01:51:04,370
for your courage saying the morning to you,

3349
01:51:04,430 --> 01:51:05,650
the man who put the sea in the

3350
01:51:05,650 --> 01:51:06,430
cow eggs.

3351
01:51:06,770 --> 01:51:08,290
Say hello to my friend on the other

3352
01:51:08,290 --> 01:51:10,790
end, the one, the only, Mr. John C.

3353
01:51:11,010 --> 01:51:11,290
DeVore!

3354
01:51:14,870 --> 01:51:16,370
Yeah, well, in the morning to you, Mr.

3355
01:51:16,430 --> 01:51:17,670
Abercrombie, we're going to ship sea boots on

3356
01:51:17,670 --> 01:51:18,650
the ground, feed in the air subs, and

3357
01:51:18,650 --> 01:51:19,830
we're one of the names of nights out

3358
01:51:19,830 --> 01:51:20,050
there.

3359
01:51:20,170 --> 01:51:21,490
In the morning to the patrols in the

3360
01:51:21,490 --> 01:51:21,970
patrol room.

3361
01:51:22,050 --> 01:51:23,190
Let me count you all for a second.

3362
01:51:23,390 --> 01:51:23,630
There we go.

3363
01:51:25,230 --> 01:51:29,510
Now, just because it's our, we do it

3364
01:51:29,510 --> 01:51:31,290
every single, every single show.

3365
01:51:31,550 --> 01:51:33,290
What is normal for a Thursday?

3366
01:51:34,070 --> 01:51:34,970
Is it 1800?

3367
01:51:36,530 --> 01:51:37,470
Thursday, 1800, yeah.

3368
01:51:37,470 --> 01:51:39,130
Okay, 2298.

3369
01:51:40,050 --> 01:51:40,690
Yeah, that's good.

3370
01:51:40,770 --> 01:51:42,110
That's like a low Sunday number.

3371
01:51:42,230 --> 01:51:42,910
But you know why?

3372
01:51:43,870 --> 01:51:45,370
I wonder what they're going to say about

3373
01:51:45,370 --> 01:51:46,190
Runway 33.

3374
01:51:46,970 --> 01:51:48,090
Yeah, Runway 33.

3375
01:51:48,490 --> 01:51:49,990
Which should be the title of the show.

3376
01:51:50,710 --> 01:51:51,430
Runway 33.

3377
01:51:51,530 --> 01:51:51,970
Runway 33.

3378
01:51:52,390 --> 01:51:54,610
It's kind of, kind of gruesome, and maybe

3379
01:51:54,610 --> 01:51:55,990
a little bit too early.

3380
01:51:55,990 --> 01:51:56,310
Not necessarily.

3381
01:51:56,590 --> 01:51:58,050
A little bit too early for it.

3382
01:51:58,450 --> 01:52:00,030
But that is, that is kind of true,

3383
01:52:00,070 --> 01:52:00,170
though.

3384
01:52:00,230 --> 01:52:01,530
You know, people are so used to the

3385
01:52:01,530 --> 01:52:02,550
algo chasers.

3386
01:52:03,410 --> 01:52:04,890
You know, it's like, oh, I got to

3387
01:52:04,890 --> 01:52:06,070
check in and see what those guys are

3388
01:52:06,070 --> 01:52:06,550
saying about it.

3389
01:52:06,550 --> 01:52:07,510
Oh, I got to go to the YouTube

3390
01:52:07,510 --> 01:52:08,570
and see what Tim Pool's saying.

3391
01:52:08,650 --> 01:52:10,250
Oh, what does Megyn Kelly say about it?

3392
01:52:11,490 --> 01:52:13,610
By the way, did you see, notice that

3393
01:52:13,610 --> 01:52:16,490
Megyn Kelly was at the Kennedy hearing sitting

3394
01:52:16,490 --> 01:52:18,230
right behind Sheryl Hines?

3395
01:52:18,490 --> 01:52:19,430
No, I didn't see that.

3396
01:52:19,530 --> 01:52:20,130
I saw Sheryl.

3397
01:52:20,230 --> 01:52:21,630
I didn't see, Megyn was there?

3398
01:52:22,430 --> 01:52:24,230
Yes, she was sitting right in the row,

3399
01:52:24,330 --> 01:52:24,990
right behind her.

3400
01:52:25,090 --> 01:52:27,010
And it was only from, I forgot which

3401
01:52:27,010 --> 01:52:27,970
feed I got this from.

3402
01:52:27,990 --> 01:52:29,610
Because the feed that you saw on C

3403
01:52:29,610 --> 01:52:30,750
-SPAN didn't show it.

3404
01:52:31,150 --> 01:52:33,110
But if you went to NBC or somebody

3405
01:52:33,110 --> 01:52:34,070
else, you could see her.

3406
01:52:34,070 --> 01:52:35,970
She was sitting right there.

3407
01:52:36,430 --> 01:52:38,270
And the way the shot was done, it

3408
01:52:38,270 --> 01:52:40,010
was like, might as well have been a

3409
01:52:40,010 --> 01:52:40,890
shot of Megyn Kelly.

3410
01:52:41,450 --> 01:52:41,550
Interesting.

3411
01:52:41,710 --> 01:52:42,530
So she was there.

3412
01:52:43,570 --> 01:52:43,890
Hmm.

3413
01:52:44,610 --> 01:52:44,970
Meanwhile.

3414
01:52:45,210 --> 01:52:46,010
Yeah, I thought that was interesting.

3415
01:52:46,010 --> 01:52:48,290
All she's talking about is the Ryan Reynolds

3416
01:52:48,290 --> 01:52:51,230
wife and that actor dude who she did

3417
01:52:51,230 --> 01:52:53,250
the movie with, that they're suing or whatever,

3418
01:52:53,390 --> 01:52:54,530
and all kinds of nonsense.

3419
01:52:54,930 --> 01:52:56,470
You're talking about Blake Lively?

3420
01:52:56,730 --> 01:52:58,750
Yes, Blake, you know about this.

3421
01:52:58,770 --> 01:52:59,030
Who cares?

3422
01:53:00,670 --> 01:53:02,130
You know, I was going to do a

3423
01:53:02,130 --> 01:53:04,170
series of clips for today's show, actually.

3424
01:53:05,370 --> 01:53:06,290
Who cares?

3425
01:53:06,810 --> 01:53:08,250
But I was going to do, I went

3426
01:53:08,250 --> 01:53:10,570
to page six of the post, and they

3427
01:53:10,570 --> 01:53:12,710
have this video feed that goes on and

3428
01:53:12,710 --> 01:53:14,710
on, and they're talking about this person and

3429
01:53:14,710 --> 01:53:15,190
that person.

3430
01:53:15,450 --> 01:53:17,570
And I was going to just start clipping

3431
01:53:17,570 --> 01:53:20,330
it, because I know you were going to

3432
01:53:20,330 --> 01:53:20,710
do the same.

3433
01:53:20,830 --> 01:53:23,370
I have never heard of any of these

3434
01:53:23,370 --> 01:53:23,790
people.

3435
01:53:23,890 --> 01:53:25,230
Well, I saw the movie.

3436
01:53:26,130 --> 01:53:27,870
It's quite a good movie, actually.

3437
01:53:28,410 --> 01:53:31,070
And Blake Lively is married to Ryan Reynolds.

3438
01:53:31,070 --> 01:53:34,350
And by the way, Candace Owens is all,

3439
01:53:34,450 --> 01:53:36,670
I mean, it's like, look at the world

3440
01:53:36,670 --> 01:53:37,410
around you.

3441
01:53:38,450 --> 01:53:41,070
It's like, well, but they're digging, you know

3442
01:53:41,070 --> 01:53:41,250
what?

3443
01:53:41,330 --> 01:53:42,010
It's their niche.

3444
01:53:42,110 --> 01:53:42,590
Let them go.

3445
01:53:43,010 --> 01:53:43,670
It's good.

3446
01:53:44,050 --> 01:53:44,910
Let them do that.

3447
01:53:45,730 --> 01:53:49,350
So they're not cruising around in our lane.

3448
01:53:49,570 --> 01:53:50,270
Get out of here.

3449
01:53:50,850 --> 01:53:51,730
Get out of here, Megan.

3450
01:53:52,470 --> 01:53:53,170
She's a lawyer.

3451
01:53:53,790 --> 01:53:54,710
She loves this stuff.

3452
01:53:55,490 --> 01:53:56,310
A family lawyer.

3453
01:53:56,790 --> 01:53:58,030
Yeah, it's hard not to.

3454
01:53:58,110 --> 01:53:59,170
Yeah, she loves this stuff.

3455
01:54:01,250 --> 01:54:02,730
Thank you, Trolls, for being here.

3456
01:54:02,810 --> 01:54:05,410
Trollroom.io and, of course, the modern podcast

3457
01:54:05,410 --> 01:54:05,890
apps.

3458
01:54:05,990 --> 01:54:11,110
Go to podcastapps.com with an S and

3459
01:54:11,110 --> 01:54:13,190
get one of those, because it has a

3460
01:54:13,190 --> 01:54:15,270
lot of benefits, including the live stream when

3461
01:54:15,270 --> 01:54:16,830
we go live, which, you know, you can

3462
01:54:16,830 --> 01:54:19,690
stick your earbuds in and listen at the

3463
01:54:19,690 --> 01:54:19,990
office.

3464
01:54:20,090 --> 01:54:20,570
Oh, I'm sorry.

3465
01:54:20,610 --> 01:54:21,430
You're working from home.

3466
01:54:21,510 --> 01:54:22,050
Even better.

3467
01:54:22,630 --> 01:54:24,370
Why don't you just, sorry, I can't work

3468
01:54:24,370 --> 01:54:24,650
right now.

3469
01:54:24,670 --> 01:54:26,150
I'm listening to the boys, hearing what they're

3470
01:54:26,150 --> 01:54:27,290
saying about Runway 33.

3471
01:54:27,650 --> 01:54:28,670
It's very important stuff.

3472
01:54:29,230 --> 01:54:31,870
Of course, it has all of the fabulous

3473
01:54:31,870 --> 01:54:34,510
chapters with art, which Dreb sets up for

3474
01:54:34,510 --> 01:54:34,630
us.

3475
01:54:34,670 --> 01:54:36,210
You can actually skip around the topics.

3476
01:54:36,430 --> 01:54:37,750
Like, yeah, remember they're talking, you want to

3477
01:54:37,750 --> 01:54:39,210
play something for someone.

3478
01:54:39,330 --> 01:54:39,830
Here, here, here.

3479
01:54:39,970 --> 01:54:40,450
This here.

3480
01:54:40,530 --> 01:54:40,690
Boom.

3481
01:54:40,790 --> 01:54:41,290
Click on it.

3482
01:54:41,310 --> 01:54:41,470
Done.

3483
01:54:41,490 --> 01:54:41,830
It's good.

3484
01:54:42,170 --> 01:54:44,810
I think in this segment, we might as

3485
01:54:44,810 --> 01:54:46,230
well read the note from Nestworks.

3486
01:54:46,750 --> 01:54:48,110
Yeah, I was going to get to that.

3487
01:54:49,050 --> 01:54:51,350
Nestworks won the, and so we're going to,

3488
01:54:51,350 --> 01:54:53,110
you jumped the gun a little bit, because

3489
01:54:53,110 --> 01:54:54,650
I need to say the words value for

3490
01:54:54,650 --> 01:54:58,390
value, because that's how we, how we function

3491
01:54:58,390 --> 01:54:58,770
here.

3492
01:54:59,510 --> 01:55:01,530
We have no HR department to complain to,

3493
01:55:01,610 --> 01:55:03,750
because, you know, it's all value for value.

3494
01:55:03,850 --> 01:55:05,710
It's just John, Adam, a little bit of

3495
01:55:05,710 --> 01:55:07,530
Mimi, a little bit of Jay, a little

3496
01:55:07,530 --> 01:55:08,030
bit of Tina.

3497
01:55:08,390 --> 01:55:09,830
Jay is sick, by the way.

3498
01:55:09,950 --> 01:55:10,330
We should.

3499
01:55:10,490 --> 01:55:11,250
Oh, what's wrong?

3500
01:55:11,390 --> 01:55:12,270
Have some, I don't know.

3501
01:55:12,290 --> 01:55:14,070
She's got some horrible cold or something.

3502
01:55:14,170 --> 01:55:14,970
She can barely talk.

3503
01:55:15,090 --> 01:55:16,190
Is it, is she coughing?

3504
01:55:16,370 --> 01:55:17,550
Is it her, is it in the chest?

3505
01:55:17,630 --> 01:55:18,330
Because there's a lot of.

3506
01:55:18,490 --> 01:55:18,910
A little coughing.

3507
01:55:19,070 --> 01:55:19,170
Yeah.

3508
01:55:19,230 --> 01:55:19,890
Everyone's coughing.

3509
01:55:20,130 --> 01:55:21,110
Mimi had something to.

3510
01:55:21,330 --> 01:55:22,090
Could be tuberculosis.

3511
01:55:22,310 --> 01:55:23,130
You know, there's a lot of that going

3512
01:55:23,130 --> 01:55:23,410
around.

3513
01:55:23,410 --> 01:55:24,970
That's only in what?

3514
01:55:25,490 --> 01:55:26,930
In Kansas, I think.

3515
01:55:27,150 --> 01:55:27,530
Is it Kansas?

3516
01:55:27,910 --> 01:55:28,090
All right.

3517
01:55:28,130 --> 01:55:28,450
Well, good.

3518
01:55:28,530 --> 01:55:29,110
Well, I'm sorry.

3519
01:55:29,730 --> 01:55:30,210
I'm sorry.

3520
01:55:30,390 --> 01:55:31,270
Feel better, Jay.

3521
01:55:31,370 --> 01:55:32,710
She didn't mention it.

3522
01:55:32,790 --> 01:55:34,330
She just sent me the spreadsheet and went.

3523
01:55:34,330 --> 01:55:34,890
No, she doesn't.

3524
01:55:34,990 --> 01:55:35,970
She's not a complainer.

3525
01:55:36,090 --> 01:55:37,470
She is not a complainer.

3526
01:55:37,610 --> 01:55:40,810
That, she is the best employee we have,

3527
01:55:40,930 --> 01:55:43,010
which is great, because she's the only employee

3528
01:55:43,010 --> 01:55:43,550
we have.

3529
01:55:43,790 --> 01:55:44,850
Yeah, pretty much.

3530
01:55:45,190 --> 01:55:46,090
Yeah, she's great.

3531
01:55:47,210 --> 01:55:49,470
So, yes, value for value, time, talent, or

3532
01:55:49,470 --> 01:55:51,450
treasure, and the artist, and this kind of

3533
01:55:51,450 --> 01:55:53,750
falls, flows into a lot of different conversations

3534
01:55:53,750 --> 01:55:55,630
we're having, because this was not an AI

3535
01:55:55,630 --> 01:55:59,770
artwork piece that we chose for episode, let

3536
01:55:59,770 --> 01:56:02,830
me go to it, 1733.

3537
01:56:03,110 --> 01:56:04,470
We titled that one Rat Note.

3538
01:56:05,110 --> 01:56:08,650
Rat Note, and this was the code that

3539
01:56:08,650 --> 01:56:10,890
we uncovered, Cute Winter Boots, and it was

3540
01:56:10,890 --> 01:56:13,590
a duck with some cute winter boots, and

3541
01:56:13,590 --> 01:56:16,190
it was just the best piece, and there's

3542
01:56:16,190 --> 01:56:17,150
no doubt about it.

3543
01:56:17,450 --> 01:56:19,490
Before we, I'd read that note from Nestworks,

3544
01:56:19,590 --> 01:56:21,050
because Nestworks is the one who did it.

3545
01:56:21,050 --> 01:56:23,010
Now, was there anything else that we looked

3546
01:56:23,010 --> 01:56:25,490
at that we, that came close for us?

3547
01:56:25,790 --> 01:56:26,950
There were a lot of winter boots.

3548
01:56:27,050 --> 01:56:28,190
A lot of people tried to do cute

3549
01:56:28,190 --> 01:56:28,690
winter boots.

3550
01:56:28,810 --> 01:56:32,050
We kind of liked, Comix or Blogger had

3551
01:56:32,050 --> 01:56:34,850
a piece that reminded us of Mad Magazine,

3552
01:56:35,490 --> 01:56:37,810
which is probably where the original was stolen

3553
01:56:37,810 --> 01:56:39,810
from by AI.

3554
01:56:42,590 --> 01:56:43,730
What else was there?

3555
01:56:43,790 --> 01:56:44,510
Was there anything?

3556
01:56:45,110 --> 01:56:47,270
Season of Reveal from Darren O'Neill was

3557
01:56:47,270 --> 01:56:49,550
cute, but it was like, eh, you know.

3558
01:56:51,150 --> 01:56:54,250
He just takes the same prompt and just

3559
01:56:54,250 --> 01:56:57,910
changes the term, and it kind of pops

3560
01:56:57,910 --> 01:56:58,670
out that way.

3561
01:57:00,210 --> 01:57:01,510
Are you looking at all, or are you

3562
01:57:01,510 --> 01:57:03,250
just letting me talk into space here?

3563
01:57:05,740 --> 01:57:08,140
You've muted yourself, so we can't hear you.

3564
01:57:09,240 --> 01:57:09,940
I'm back.

3565
01:57:10,100 --> 01:57:11,360
It's illegal in many states.

3566
01:57:11,580 --> 01:57:13,660
No, what happens was when I click on

3567
01:57:13,660 --> 01:57:17,680
the art, sometimes if the arrow's in the

3568
01:57:17,680 --> 01:57:21,880
wrong spot, it clicks on the other window,

3569
01:57:23,360 --> 01:57:24,520
the little arrow.

3570
01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:26,600
The little arrow, and you click on the

3571
01:57:26,600 --> 01:57:26,880
window.

3572
01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:29,680
It mutes me, and then I don't know

3573
01:57:29,680 --> 01:57:30,960
until you complain.

3574
01:57:31,140 --> 01:57:33,820
Your hand-eye coordination is interesting.

3575
01:57:35,860 --> 01:57:37,660
Yeah, no, I was talking about Darren.

3576
01:57:38,120 --> 01:57:39,640
Oh, the Season of Reveal, yeah.

3577
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:42,560
Yeah, he's got, I guess, one series of

3578
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:44,460
prompts that developed this particular.

3579
01:57:44,760 --> 01:57:46,940
This started off as a circle, and somehow

3580
01:57:46,940 --> 01:57:47,800
he squared it.

3581
01:57:47,920 --> 01:57:49,400
Yeah, we just said make it a square,

3582
01:57:49,660 --> 01:57:50,000
whatever.

3583
01:57:51,640 --> 01:57:53,860
And most of the AI stuff was typically

3584
01:57:53,860 --> 01:57:54,300
boring.

3585
01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:59,520
And my favorite was Peter Knopfhart, who had

3586
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:04,340
the cheerleader, and the pom-poms are hanging

3587
01:58:04,340 --> 01:58:06,840
in space like they're stuck to her armpit

3588
01:58:06,840 --> 01:58:07,260
hair.

3589
01:58:07,260 --> 01:58:09,820
And her arms are very short, if you

3590
01:58:09,820 --> 01:58:10,380
look objectively.

3591
01:58:10,380 --> 01:58:10,760
Yeah, her arms are short.

3592
01:58:11,020 --> 01:58:13,300
It's the worst possible example of AI.

3593
01:58:14,480 --> 01:58:16,540
The entropy has set in.

3594
01:58:16,680 --> 01:58:17,460
It's obvious.

3595
01:58:18,400 --> 01:58:20,880
Because this originally, of course, was a Scaramanga

3596
01:58:20,880 --> 01:58:22,860
piece, and now it's just making it worse.

3597
01:58:23,380 --> 01:58:24,840
A copy of a copy of a copy

3598
01:58:24,840 --> 01:58:25,420
of a copy.

3599
01:58:27,020 --> 01:58:28,420
A lot of cute winter boots.

3600
01:58:29,340 --> 01:58:31,560
But, yeah, this was good.

3601
01:58:33,220 --> 01:58:35,320
I think we even said, is this AI?

3602
01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:36,060
Do you think it's AI?

3603
01:58:36,180 --> 01:58:36,540
I don't know.

3604
01:58:37,960 --> 01:58:39,720
And I think, if I recall, you said

3605
01:58:39,720 --> 01:58:41,260
there's probably elements of AI.

3606
01:58:41,440 --> 01:58:43,860
However, if we read the note, and this

3607
01:58:43,860 --> 01:58:45,820
is a very nice note, and artists will

3608
01:58:45,820 --> 01:58:47,020
feel happy about this.

3609
01:58:48,240 --> 01:58:50,800
But, Devore, just to say, there's a cute

3610
01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:52,360
little thing I didn't notice before, but if

3611
01:58:52,360 --> 01:58:54,780
you notice his no agenda, the no is

3612
01:58:54,780 --> 01:58:55,820
on the duck hat.

3613
01:58:56,380 --> 01:58:56,740
Yes.

3614
01:58:57,120 --> 01:58:58,860
As though it was like a logo on

3615
01:58:58,860 --> 01:58:59,280
the hat.

3616
01:58:59,480 --> 01:58:59,720
Yeah.

3617
01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:01,140
Yeah, it's cute.

3618
01:59:01,340 --> 01:59:02,360
Yeah, because he's a pro.

3619
01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:03,700
Yeah.

3620
01:59:03,700 --> 01:59:05,880
Feels awesome to get back on the board.

3621
01:59:06,040 --> 01:59:07,780
Show 1733 with cute winter boots.

3622
01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:09,180
Just a bit of a back story in

3623
01:59:09,180 --> 01:59:09,480
the piece.

3624
01:59:09,540 --> 01:59:11,380
I'd originally worked on this duck piece a

3625
01:59:11,380 --> 01:59:13,020
couple years ago, pre-AI.

3626
01:59:13,520 --> 01:59:16,480
There was a backlash regarding security with DuckDuckGo,

3627
01:59:16,660 --> 01:59:18,580
hence the orange circle theme I was going

3628
01:59:18,580 --> 01:59:20,140
with, and I wanted to title the piece

3629
01:59:20,140 --> 01:59:20,980
DuckDuckNo.

3630
01:59:21,400 --> 01:59:21,680
Funny.

3631
01:59:22,460 --> 01:59:24,540
I was inspired by the classic cartoon clip

3632
01:59:24,540 --> 01:59:26,500
art look and based the piece on a

3633
01:59:26,500 --> 01:59:28,480
mallard duck asset from iStockPhoto.

3634
01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:30,700
The reason I chose the iStock asset was

3635
01:59:30,700 --> 01:59:32,440
because it reminded me of Donald Duck, but

3636
01:59:32,440 --> 01:59:34,280
it wasn't Donald Duck as pertained to copyright,

3637
01:59:34,440 --> 01:59:34,720
et cetera.

3638
01:59:35,140 --> 01:59:37,000
I was working on developing my outline and

3639
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:39,500
brush skills on the iPad in Procreate and

3640
01:59:39,500 --> 01:59:41,700
recreated the main duck graphic.

3641
01:59:42,140 --> 01:59:43,660
The topic did not get covered on the

3642
01:59:43,660 --> 01:59:47,200
show, so I archived the .png graphic I

3643
01:59:47,200 --> 01:59:48,780
created for a possible future use.

3644
01:59:48,840 --> 01:59:50,380
This is what artists do.

3645
01:59:51,260 --> 01:59:52,640
All artists do this.

3646
01:59:52,940 --> 01:59:55,200
A friend of mine was a graphic designer,

3647
01:59:55,440 --> 02:00:00,100
and he had so many cows, smiling cows,

3648
02:00:00,180 --> 02:00:02,620
backed up that if you needed a cow,

3649
02:00:03,240 --> 02:00:05,620
whatever cow you wanted, he had them from

3650
02:00:05,620 --> 02:00:06,340
years ago.

3651
02:00:08,800 --> 02:00:10,220
They archived their work.

3652
02:00:11,320 --> 02:00:13,380
When I heard the topic of cute winter

3653
02:00:13,380 --> 02:00:14,680
boots on Sunday, I thought it would be

3654
02:00:14,680 --> 02:00:16,340
funny to have the duck holding a shotgun,

3655
02:00:16,520 --> 02:00:18,220
sporting a trucker's hat, and wearing a pair

3656
02:00:18,220 --> 02:00:19,620
of oversized Timberlands.

3657
02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:20,800
Cute winter boots.

3658
02:00:21,160 --> 02:00:22,920
Using cute winter boots to try to confuse

3659
02:00:22,920 --> 02:00:23,560
the algorithm.

3660
02:00:23,700 --> 02:00:24,640
You're a quack, LOL.

3661
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:27,660
I modified my original duck graphic in Photoshop,

3662
02:00:27,960 --> 02:00:30,260
adding the shotgun, adding the boots asset, modifying

3663
02:00:30,260 --> 02:00:31,980
the hands on the rifle, and adding the

3664
02:00:31,980 --> 02:00:32,280
text.

3665
02:00:32,760 --> 02:00:35,960
I mainly use Photoshop for graphic asset manipulation,

3666
02:00:36,160 --> 02:00:38,340
layered art design, and occasionally use a custom

3667
02:00:38,340 --> 02:00:39,720
cartoonizer program.

3668
02:00:39,960 --> 02:00:41,120
Oh, fake news!

3669
02:00:41,340 --> 02:00:43,540
To achieve a unique look and draw out

3670
02:00:43,540 --> 02:00:45,140
pieces on my iPad when I have time.

3671
02:00:45,660 --> 02:00:48,100
I have not dove, dove, I think, I

3672
02:00:48,100 --> 02:00:49,700
did not dive into the world of AI

3673
02:00:49,700 --> 02:00:50,560
prompts as of yet.

3674
02:00:50,660 --> 02:00:51,820
I dig some of it.

3675
02:00:52,020 --> 02:00:55,040
I'm always blown away by Darren Francisco's and

3676
02:00:55,040 --> 02:00:56,500
CSB's AI skills.

3677
02:00:56,900 --> 02:00:58,280
I think y'all have nailed it in

3678
02:00:58,280 --> 02:00:58,940
the art segment.

3679
02:00:58,940 --> 02:01:01,440
It still comes down to executing an idea.

3680
02:01:01,620 --> 02:01:04,180
Darren is so funny, talented, and creative, it

3681
02:01:04,180 --> 02:01:05,440
shines through in his pieces.

3682
02:01:05,780 --> 02:01:06,560
Mm-hmm.

3683
02:01:06,740 --> 02:01:10,580
Scaramanga is brilliant for boobs.

3684
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:13,060
It's impressive to me that he is...

3685
02:01:13,060 --> 02:01:13,520
What?

3686
02:01:14,120 --> 02:01:16,880
Yeah, but he's concerned with kind of the

3687
02:01:16,880 --> 02:01:22,340
dimensionality and sound, specifically the...

3688
02:01:22,940 --> 02:01:23,440
Scaramanga?

3689
02:01:23,960 --> 02:01:24,540
Dynamic range.

3690
02:01:24,720 --> 02:01:26,300
Oh, the dynamic range.

3691
02:01:26,300 --> 02:01:28,620
It's impressive to me that he has created

3692
02:01:28,620 --> 02:01:30,880
and cultivated a style, humor, and design look

3693
02:01:30,880 --> 02:01:32,640
that when you see a Scaramanga piece, you

3694
02:01:32,640 --> 02:01:33,920
know it's a Scaramanga piece.

3695
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:34,380
Good point.

3696
02:01:34,900 --> 02:01:36,020
Yeah, tits.

3697
02:01:36,420 --> 02:01:38,880
Capitalist's agenda is amazing, and I admire his

3698
02:01:38,880 --> 02:01:41,120
drawing skills, creativity, and humorous ideas.

3699
02:01:41,540 --> 02:01:43,160
Mike Riley and Roundy, they're gone.

3700
02:01:43,840 --> 02:01:46,020
No, Riley posts sometimes as well, when they

3701
02:01:46,020 --> 02:01:47,420
decide to post on the Art Generator.

3702
02:01:47,520 --> 02:01:48,920
I was initially hit in the mouth approximately

3703
02:01:48,920 --> 02:01:51,040
five years ago by my buddy Serdino, the

3704
02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:52,300
monkey boy with curly hair.

3705
02:01:52,660 --> 02:01:54,400
He gave me some sage advice regarding the

3706
02:01:54,400 --> 02:01:54,960
Art Generator.

3707
02:01:55,440 --> 02:01:56,360
Here it is.

3708
02:01:56,600 --> 02:01:57,280
Sage advice.

3709
02:01:57,680 --> 02:01:59,920
Strive to design a piece around a show

3710
02:01:59,920 --> 02:02:02,600
subject that you might think will best represent

3711
02:02:02,600 --> 02:02:05,240
the show that day, which is exactly what

3712
02:02:05,240 --> 02:02:07,660
I tried to do with AI on the

3713
02:02:07,660 --> 02:02:09,460
last show, and it came up with garbage.

3714
02:02:10,260 --> 02:02:11,820
And he finishes by saying, shout out to

3715
02:02:11,820 --> 02:02:13,480
the No Agenda artists who are talented at

3716
02:02:13,480 --> 02:02:15,620
creating pieces on the fly during show days.

3717
02:02:15,740 --> 02:02:18,740
Tontanil, Kenny Ben, Capitalist's Agenda, Darren O, Scaramanga,

3718
02:02:18,900 --> 02:02:20,920
Corrector Records, CSB, Nick the Rat, and many

3719
02:02:20,920 --> 02:02:21,160
more.

3720
02:02:21,420 --> 02:02:23,760
I enjoy the competition and respect my fellow

3721
02:02:23,760 --> 02:02:24,420
NA artists.

3722
02:02:24,420 --> 02:02:26,720
I take pride in participating in the V

3723
02:02:26,720 --> 02:02:28,280
for V process for the show and always

3724
02:02:28,280 --> 02:02:30,100
feel fortunate when honored with a selection.

3725
02:02:30,440 --> 02:02:32,560
Also, as a No Agenda artist, it's cool

3726
02:02:32,560 --> 02:02:34,980
to check the show chapters in a podcasting

3727
02:02:34,980 --> 02:02:36,860
2.0 app and see if a piece

3728
02:02:36,860 --> 02:02:37,380
is used.

3729
02:02:37,740 --> 02:02:38,980
Hating that y'all have been dealing with

3730
02:02:38,980 --> 02:02:40,960
some negativity in reference to the art segment,

3731
02:02:41,080 --> 02:02:43,740
I wanted to send some positivity your way.

3732
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:44,880
Love you guys.

3733
02:02:45,280 --> 02:02:45,660
Nesswork.

3734
02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:47,140
Yeah, there you go.

3735
02:02:47,240 --> 02:02:48,220
That is a great note.

3736
02:02:48,300 --> 02:02:48,600
That is.

3737
02:02:48,660 --> 02:02:49,860
It sums it up completely.

3738
02:02:49,880 --> 02:02:50,020
A little long.

3739
02:02:50,200 --> 02:02:50,520
A little long.

3740
02:02:50,940 --> 02:02:51,720
It's an artist.

3741
02:02:52,180 --> 02:02:53,160
They're not writers.

3742
02:02:53,980 --> 02:02:55,280
That's just how it is.

3743
02:02:55,980 --> 02:02:57,540
They're not writers, man.

3744
02:02:57,620 --> 02:02:58,300
They're not writers.

3745
02:02:58,660 --> 02:02:59,220
All right.

3746
02:02:59,240 --> 02:03:01,220
Now we go to the treasure portion of

3747
02:03:01,220 --> 02:03:02,820
the Value for Value, and we want to

3748
02:03:02,820 --> 02:03:05,320
thank everybody who supported us with $50 or

3749
02:03:05,320 --> 02:03:05,700
above.

3750
02:03:06,320 --> 02:03:08,740
And in this case, like every single show,

3751
02:03:08,900 --> 02:03:11,820
we stop and give special attention to people

3752
02:03:11,820 --> 02:03:13,480
who donate $200 or more.

3753
02:03:13,620 --> 02:03:15,740
We give them the title of Associate Executive

3754
02:03:15,740 --> 02:03:17,660
Producer, which is a real title.

3755
02:03:17,760 --> 02:03:20,380
You can use it anywhere where these are

3756
02:03:20,380 --> 02:03:25,120
recognized, these are credits, Hollywood credits, such as

3757
02:03:25,120 --> 02:03:26,100
imdb.com.

3758
02:03:26,200 --> 02:03:27,440
So we will read your note as well.

3759
02:03:27,660 --> 02:03:30,380
$300 or above, and you get an Executive

3760
02:03:30,380 --> 02:03:31,160
Producer credit.

3761
02:03:31,380 --> 02:03:32,820
Same hold, same applies.

3762
02:03:33,640 --> 02:03:33,820
Whoa.

3763
02:03:35,060 --> 02:03:36,140
Why did I get a pew?

3764
02:03:37,860 --> 02:03:38,740
Valid everywhere.

3765
02:03:39,560 --> 02:03:40,180
Hold on a second.

3766
02:03:40,620 --> 02:03:41,100
Who is that?

3767
02:03:41,260 --> 02:03:42,300
Studio Two Rocks.

3768
02:03:42,300 --> 02:03:42,600
Okay.

3769
02:03:42,820 --> 02:03:43,780
Let me just mute that.

3770
02:03:43,900 --> 02:03:44,280
There we go.

3771
02:03:45,700 --> 02:03:46,420
And we start off.

3772
02:03:46,520 --> 02:03:47,600
That pew, by the way, is the same

3773
02:03:47,600 --> 02:03:49,680
reason I mute the thing by accident.

3774
02:03:50,340 --> 02:03:53,500
No, the pew comes from something else.

3775
02:03:54,080 --> 02:03:57,040
Hey, we start off with a Rub-A

3776
02:03:57,040 --> 02:03:58,180
-Lizer donation.

3777
02:03:58,480 --> 02:03:59,380
Here we go.

3778
02:03:59,620 --> 02:04:00,080
India.

3779
02:04:00,460 --> 02:04:01,000
Hang out.

3780
02:04:01,200 --> 02:04:01,540
Mike.

3781
02:04:02,300 --> 02:04:03,120
Stand by.

3782
02:04:03,840 --> 02:04:04,440
33.

3783
02:04:04,860 --> 02:04:05,500
33.

3784
02:04:05,920 --> 02:04:06,480
33.

3785
02:04:07,260 --> 02:04:08,880
Rub-A-Lizer out.

3786
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:11,580
And this is from the Archduke of Central

3787
02:04:11,580 --> 02:04:12,100
Florida.

3788
02:04:12,280 --> 02:04:16,060
He says, Rub-A-Lizer donation 333.3.

3789
02:04:16,300 --> 02:04:21,280
Wait, 3333.33. It's a massive, massive support

3790
02:04:21,280 --> 02:04:21,900
for the show.

3791
02:04:22,620 --> 02:04:24,700
Rub-A-Lizer donation from the Archduke of

3792
02:04:24,700 --> 02:04:25,420
Central Florida.

3793
02:04:25,680 --> 02:04:27,900
Sorry, no $2 bills like Seronomous.

3794
02:04:28,320 --> 02:04:30,240
Really appreciate the work you guys put in,

3795
02:04:30,320 --> 02:04:33,020
even working on a holiday like Inauguration Eve.

3796
02:04:33,540 --> 02:04:35,360
Sure, you had some invites to the balls,

3797
02:04:35,420 --> 02:04:36,120
and you didn't go.

3798
02:04:36,300 --> 02:04:36,720
There you go.

3799
02:04:37,280 --> 02:04:39,320
Should be some interesting activity over the next

3800
02:04:39,320 --> 02:04:41,100
couple of years for you to dissect and

3801
02:04:41,100 --> 02:04:41,720
deconstruct.

3802
02:04:41,780 --> 02:04:43,200
We will be looking forward to it.

3803
02:04:43,460 --> 02:04:44,800
No jingles, no karma.

3804
02:04:44,800 --> 02:04:48,420
He says, five more years, Archduke of Central

3805
02:04:48,420 --> 02:04:48,860
Florida.

3806
02:04:49,160 --> 02:04:49,720
All right.

3807
02:04:49,800 --> 02:04:51,340
That's a new one, five more years.

3808
02:04:51,420 --> 02:04:52,260
Thank you very much.

3809
02:04:52,380 --> 02:04:55,120
We appreciate that highly.

3810
02:04:55,860 --> 02:04:56,300
Onward.

3811
02:04:56,540 --> 02:04:57,880
That was very nice, yes.

3812
02:04:58,100 --> 02:04:58,900
Super nice.

3813
02:04:59,640 --> 02:05:06,360
Aaron Cole in Watsonville, California, 1111.77, which

3814
02:05:06,360 --> 02:05:09,120
is $1,000 plus fees, I'm guessing.

3815
02:05:09,400 --> 02:05:10,480
Although that's a lot of fees.

3816
02:05:10,840 --> 02:05:11,780
That's a lot of fees.

3817
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:13,540
No, that's over 10%.

3818
02:05:13,540 --> 02:05:14,980
That's got to be something else.

3819
02:05:16,640 --> 02:05:19,560
Adam and John, listening since 2009, best podcast

3820
02:05:19,560 --> 02:05:21,900
in the universe.

3821
02:05:23,120 --> 02:05:25,520
Finally time to finish my knighthood and come

3822
02:05:25,520 --> 02:05:26,960
in with a big thank you.

3823
02:05:27,140 --> 02:05:29,060
First donation was for the 200 Club.

3824
02:05:29,840 --> 02:05:31,140
Yeah, the old 200 Club.

3825
02:05:31,140 --> 02:05:33,380
Yeah, remember that, the 200 Club, sure.

3826
02:05:33,500 --> 02:05:35,300
That was very successful, by the way.

3827
02:05:36,080 --> 02:05:38,940
This podcast has been a pillar for information

3828
02:05:38,940 --> 02:05:41,420
for years and has been great for me.

3829
02:05:41,420 --> 02:05:44,420
The other douchebags that I've been able to

3830
02:05:44,420 --> 02:05:49,020
drag along, helping center ourselves in chaos, pulls

3831
02:05:49,020 --> 02:05:50,060
immense value.

3832
02:05:51,220 --> 02:05:54,600
I'll have Adam's brisket and some bourbon at

3833
02:05:54,600 --> 02:05:55,520
the round table.

3834
02:05:55,900 --> 02:05:56,600
Do you have any left?

3835
02:05:56,640 --> 02:05:57,520
It was a good brisket.

3836
02:05:57,720 --> 02:05:58,680
Yeah, I got some left.

3837
02:05:58,940 --> 02:06:02,340
Knight name, Sir Aaron Cole of the Strawberry

3838
02:06:02,340 --> 02:06:03,200
Fog.

3839
02:06:04,400 --> 02:06:06,220
Jingle, if it's not too much.

3840
02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:07,680
Well, not with this donation.

3841
02:06:08,320 --> 02:06:12,140
Climate Gate with the violin and birds.

3842
02:06:13,280 --> 02:06:14,580
WTC7 won't go away.

3843
02:06:15,160 --> 02:06:16,440
You're going to die.

3844
02:06:17,440 --> 02:06:20,220
P.S. Heading up to get John out

3845
02:06:20,220 --> 02:06:22,180
of the house meetup this weekend in the

3846
02:06:22,180 --> 02:06:22,540
Bay Area.

3847
02:06:22,720 --> 02:06:23,580
I'll see you there.

3848
02:06:24,100 --> 02:06:25,380
Looking forward to it.

3849
02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:29,000
To the gate, to the gate, to the

3850
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:29,940
climate gate.

3851
02:06:37,700 --> 02:06:40,240
WTC7 won't go away.

3852
02:06:40,640 --> 02:06:41,340
You might die.

3853
02:06:42,060 --> 02:06:42,700
There you go.

3854
02:06:42,940 --> 02:06:43,680
Nice sequence.

3855
02:06:43,820 --> 02:06:44,240
Thank you.

3856
02:06:45,020 --> 02:06:48,780
Earl Christopher is in Marshfield, Wisconsin, and he

3857
02:06:48,780 --> 02:06:53,020
sends in 543.21 plus fees, and his

3858
02:06:53,020 --> 02:06:55,580
note is awesome, no jingles, no karma.

3859
02:06:55,960 --> 02:06:56,900
Thank you very much.

3860
02:06:58,360 --> 02:07:02,120
Speedy Bubble in Cholula, Florida.

3861
02:07:02,540 --> 02:07:03,720
Speedy Bubble, yes.

3862
02:07:03,980 --> 02:07:04,400
Speedy Bubble.

3863
02:07:04,780 --> 02:07:05,280
Speedy Bubble.

3864
02:07:05,460 --> 02:07:07,720
Adam, this is for the 33rd day sobriety

3865
02:07:07,720 --> 02:07:11,360
chip per our email exchange.

3866
02:07:12,560 --> 02:07:13,120
Yes.

3867
02:07:13,220 --> 02:07:13,640
Please.

3868
02:07:14,200 --> 02:07:14,760
Well, yes.

3869
02:07:14,940 --> 02:07:17,560
What he said was he wanted to set

3870
02:07:17,560 --> 02:07:20,660
up a 33-day sobriety chip.

3871
02:07:20,760 --> 02:07:25,060
This is for Nussbaum, our Grand Duke.

3872
02:07:25,660 --> 02:07:26,080
Ah, yes.

3873
02:07:26,080 --> 02:07:28,980
And he said, you know, I want, and

3874
02:07:28,980 --> 02:07:30,760
he didn't put it in his email, but

3875
02:07:30,760 --> 02:07:33,180
I think he is donating for the 33

3876
02:07:33,180 --> 02:07:39,360
sobriety chip for Nussbaum, so there's your chip,

3877
02:07:39,780 --> 02:07:42,200
and you can continue.

3878
02:07:42,200 --> 02:07:42,660
What is he talking about?

3879
02:07:42,880 --> 02:07:45,760
Well, it's a chip from Alcoholics Anonymous, you

3880
02:07:45,760 --> 02:07:46,860
know, the sobriety chip.

3881
02:07:46,880 --> 02:07:47,320
I don't know.

3882
02:07:47,700 --> 02:07:48,500
You wouldn't know.

3883
02:07:48,500 --> 02:07:50,960
Please encourage others to donate in kind.

3884
02:07:51,080 --> 02:07:53,960
I also love the 1911 and own more

3885
02:07:53,960 --> 02:07:54,920
than one of them.

3886
02:07:55,600 --> 02:07:58,180
I'm not familiar with the platypus, but we'll

3887
02:07:58,180 --> 02:07:59,100
be inquiring.

3888
02:07:59,280 --> 02:08:01,020
You cannot have too many guns.

3889
02:08:02,460 --> 02:08:04,520
I can't wait to fire this thing.

3890
02:08:04,820 --> 02:08:06,480
It's quite amazing.

3891
02:08:06,620 --> 02:08:06,820
Yes.

3892
02:08:07,060 --> 02:08:08,400
It was stealth arms.

3893
02:08:08,760 --> 02:08:08,860
Yeah.

3894
02:08:09,040 --> 02:08:09,680
The platypus.

3895
02:08:10,060 --> 02:08:11,120
It's the 380, right?

3896
02:08:11,540 --> 02:08:11,900
No, no.

3897
02:08:11,920 --> 02:08:13,880
It's a 9 mil, and it takes the

3898
02:08:13,880 --> 02:08:14,520
double stack.

3899
02:08:15,040 --> 02:08:17,120
Oh, that's right, because it takes 17 rounds.

3900
02:08:17,900 --> 02:08:18,100
Yeah.

3901
02:08:18,340 --> 02:08:20,080
So you can really do some damage, man.

3902
02:08:21,180 --> 02:08:24,980
Sir Digi is in Indianapolis, Indiana, 35093, from

3903
02:08:24,980 --> 02:08:25,460
Sir Digi.

3904
02:08:25,540 --> 02:08:26,280
Thank you for your courage.

3905
02:08:26,700 --> 02:08:27,900
Adam, I was recently baptized.

3906
02:08:28,120 --> 02:08:29,540
I want to say that hearing your story

3907
02:08:29,540 --> 02:08:31,280
has helped me on my journey to getting

3908
02:08:31,280 --> 02:08:31,960
to know Jesus.

3909
02:08:32,280 --> 02:08:34,260
Thank you for reminding us that his peace

3910
02:08:34,260 --> 02:08:38,400
he left, that his peace he left, reminding

3911
02:08:38,400 --> 02:08:40,380
us of his peace, I guess, that he

3912
02:08:40,380 --> 02:08:40,980
left with us.

3913
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:41,240
Yes.

3914
02:08:41,660 --> 02:08:43,980
And I recommend you look up scriptures on

3915
02:08:43,980 --> 02:08:44,700
ChatGPT.

3916
02:08:45,640 --> 02:08:46,780
It's good for it.

3917
02:08:46,780 --> 02:08:49,340
And ask for the Baptist pastor voice.

3918
02:08:51,060 --> 02:08:54,220
Jay Gordon, Chicago, 333.33. In the morning,

3919
02:08:54,360 --> 02:08:56,780
John and Adam, please accept this humble treasure

3920
02:08:56,780 --> 02:09:00,520
from the mean streets of downtown Chi-town.

3921
02:09:00,620 --> 02:09:01,040
Oh, boy.

3922
02:09:01,480 --> 02:09:03,160
Incredibly grateful for all you do.

3923
02:09:03,260 --> 02:09:04,720
The tips of the day have been almost

3924
02:09:04,720 --> 02:09:06,980
as good as Adam not knowing what day

3925
02:09:06,980 --> 02:09:07,500
it is.

3926
02:09:08,500 --> 02:09:12,040
Adam, being a productive heavy stoner, one of

3927
02:09:12,040 --> 02:09:15,060
my favorite pastimes was to get high and

3928
02:09:15,060 --> 02:09:17,180
listen to the best podcast in the universe.

3929
02:09:17,920 --> 02:09:18,960
You were high.

3930
02:09:19,040 --> 02:09:19,780
I was high.

3931
02:09:19,880 --> 02:09:20,700
It was great.

3932
02:09:21,860 --> 02:09:24,160
When you stopped smoking, I couldn't help but

3933
02:09:24,160 --> 02:09:27,000
be a bit bummed, but got over it

3934
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:29,480
quickly, shortly after I was inspired to quit

3935
02:09:29,480 --> 02:09:31,640
smoking, and it's now been a full year

3936
02:09:31,640 --> 02:09:32,980
since I've taken a puff.

3937
02:09:33,040 --> 02:09:33,580
All right.

3938
02:09:33,960 --> 02:09:34,380
Congratulations.

3939
02:09:35,100 --> 02:09:36,480
You were a big part of that.

3940
02:09:36,640 --> 02:09:37,820
Thank you, Adam.

3941
02:09:37,820 --> 02:09:39,320
Boots on the ground.

3942
02:09:39,500 --> 02:09:41,860
Every night for the past few weeks, there

3943
02:09:41,860 --> 02:09:44,580
have been multiple drones flying back and forth

3944
02:09:44,580 --> 02:09:48,680
across downtown Chicago, and I'm surrounding, in the

3945
02:09:48,680 --> 02:09:49,420
surrounding neighborhood.

3946
02:09:49,580 --> 02:09:52,540
Sometimes I will see four of them flying

3947
02:09:52,540 --> 02:09:54,140
around in the sky at one time.

3948
02:09:54,660 --> 02:09:56,540
I'm writing this email.

3949
02:09:56,760 --> 02:09:58,060
I can see, as I write this email,

3950
02:09:58,120 --> 02:09:58,820
I can see two.

3951
02:09:59,580 --> 02:10:00,380
They're not planes.

3952
02:10:00,520 --> 02:10:03,440
You can watch them fly the same path

3953
02:10:03,440 --> 02:10:05,140
back and forth for hours.

3954
02:10:05,140 --> 02:10:08,560
They likely belong, and then I don't have

3955
02:10:08,560 --> 02:10:09,500
anything after that.

3956
02:10:09,580 --> 02:10:10,260
That's all I have.

3957
02:10:10,320 --> 02:10:11,020
They do.

3958
02:10:11,220 --> 02:10:12,160
They likely belong.

3959
02:10:13,040 --> 02:10:13,500
Agreed.

3960
02:10:13,720 --> 02:10:14,500
They likely belong.

3961
02:10:15,040 --> 02:10:17,660
And since this is the donation segment, the

3962
02:10:17,660 --> 02:10:20,360
secret donation clip is coming your way.

3963
02:10:20,740 --> 02:10:23,000
People who skip over the donation segment miss

3964
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:24,040
all the good stuff.

3965
02:10:24,200 --> 02:10:27,220
The Trump administration's explanation about drones over New

3966
02:10:27,220 --> 02:10:30,140
Jersey were authorized to be flown by the

3967
02:10:30,140 --> 02:10:33,760
FAA for research and various other reasons.

3968
02:10:35,320 --> 02:10:36,860
It was disappointing.

3969
02:10:37,360 --> 02:10:39,040
I had expected a lot more.

3970
02:10:42,800 --> 02:10:45,260
You will see red and green blinking lights.

3971
02:10:45,780 --> 02:10:47,840
When they get over you, that's what's confusing

3972
02:10:47,840 --> 02:10:48,080
people.

3973
02:10:48,180 --> 02:10:49,260
When they get over you, they look like

3974
02:10:49,260 --> 02:10:49,960
a small aircraft.

3975
02:10:50,140 --> 02:10:51,740
They are fixed-wing drones.

3976
02:10:56,920 --> 02:11:00,880
I'm a little bit disappointed in the fact

3977
02:11:00,880 --> 02:11:03,900
that the FAA didn't announce this and caused

3978
02:11:03,900 --> 02:11:08,800
us to exhort a lot of manpower toward

3979
02:11:08,800 --> 02:11:11,180
vetting suspicious activity reports.

3980
02:11:11,360 --> 02:11:11,940
Disappointing.

3981
02:11:11,980 --> 02:11:14,360
I mean, to have a statement, honestly, it

3982
02:11:14,360 --> 02:11:16,440
sounds like it's a cover story because they

3983
02:11:16,440 --> 02:11:17,480
had no cover story.

3984
02:11:17,660 --> 02:11:18,300
It's disappointing.

3985
02:11:18,600 --> 02:11:20,840
It's disappointing when they don't communicate with their

3986
02:11:20,840 --> 02:11:23,860
own Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI, who

3987
02:11:23,860 --> 02:11:27,200
spent hundreds and hundreds of man-hours vetting

3988
02:11:27,200 --> 02:11:29,840
through hundreds of phone calls to the TIPS

3989
02:11:29,840 --> 02:11:30,140
line.

3990
02:11:30,140 --> 02:11:32,600
Mayor Mellum and Monmouth County Sheriff Golden say

3991
02:11:32,600 --> 02:11:35,080
they are less concerned about threat but feel

3992
02:11:35,080 --> 02:11:38,780
more transparency is needed about exactly what's being

3993
02:11:38,780 --> 02:11:39,880
researched and why.

3994
02:11:39,960 --> 02:11:43,480
You're flying around in urban areas and densely

3995
02:11:43,480 --> 02:11:46,520
populated areas only 100 feet above our homes.

3996
02:11:46,700 --> 02:11:49,140
We are concerned, and we deserve to know

3997
02:11:49,140 --> 02:11:50,700
what they're doing up there.

3998
02:11:50,820 --> 02:11:53,100
So that's an example of a crap report.

3999
02:11:53,840 --> 02:11:55,580
Really, really crap.

4000
02:11:55,740 --> 02:11:58,040
Because it sounds like these people are disappointed

4001
02:11:58,040 --> 02:12:00,540
that, oh, they're not flying saucers, they're not

4002
02:12:00,540 --> 02:12:01,440
UFOs.

4003
02:12:01,740 --> 02:12:04,000
Here's what the White House press secretary actually

4004
02:12:04,000 --> 02:12:04,720
said, short.

4005
02:12:05,140 --> 02:12:07,280
And before I turn to questions, I do

4006
02:12:07,280 --> 02:12:09,400
have news directly from the president of the

4007
02:12:09,400 --> 02:12:11,620
United States that was just shared with me

4008
02:12:11,620 --> 02:12:15,040
in the Oval Office from President Trump directly,

4009
02:12:15,460 --> 02:12:17,180
an update on the New Jersey drones.

4010
02:12:17,820 --> 02:12:20,580
After research and study, the drones that were

4011
02:12:20,580 --> 02:12:22,940
flying over New Jersey in large numbers were

4012
02:12:22,940 --> 02:12:26,460
authorized to be flown by the FAA for

4013
02:12:26,460 --> 02:12:28,880
research and various other reasons.

4014
02:12:29,520 --> 02:12:32,980
Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational,

4015
02:12:33,340 --> 02:12:36,040
and private individuals that enjoy flying drones.

4016
02:12:36,640 --> 02:12:40,140
In time, it got worse due to curiosity.

4017
02:12:40,800 --> 02:12:42,320
This was not the enemy.

4018
02:12:42,580 --> 02:12:44,960
Yes, everyone was excited and flying their drone,

4019
02:12:45,180 --> 02:12:47,020
exactly as we posited.

4020
02:12:47,780 --> 02:12:51,620
And the research, yeah, there's a base there.

4021
02:12:51,860 --> 02:12:54,780
They're flying their fixed-wing drones and doing

4022
02:12:54,780 --> 02:12:55,260
stuff.

4023
02:12:57,320 --> 02:12:59,980
How crazy was everyone over those drones for

4024
02:12:59,980 --> 02:13:00,640
about a week?

4025
02:13:02,040 --> 02:13:03,740
They were nuts over it.

4026
02:13:03,920 --> 02:13:05,480
Listen to no agenda, people.

4027
02:13:06,280 --> 02:13:07,300
We'll calm you down.

4028
02:13:08,220 --> 02:13:13,420
Sean Dietrich, Invergrove Heights, Minnesota, 333.33, that's

4029
02:13:13,420 --> 02:13:14,200
St. Paul.

4030
02:13:14,200 --> 02:13:16,020
Belated birthday donation.

4031
02:13:16,140 --> 02:13:18,240
I turned 33 on the 28th.

4032
02:13:18,280 --> 02:13:20,040
It seemed like the right time to donate.

4033
02:13:20,220 --> 02:13:22,120
Long overdue for a de-douching.

4034
02:13:23,780 --> 02:13:25,360
You've been de-douched.

4035
02:13:25,560 --> 02:13:28,640
And any 33 drop would be much appreciated.

4036
02:13:28,820 --> 02:13:30,700
Thank you, Adam and John, from Sean Dietrich.

4037
02:13:31,400 --> 02:13:33,860
33, that's the magic number.

4038
02:13:34,560 --> 02:13:37,820
Yes, it's the magic number.

4039
02:13:40,460 --> 02:13:43,960
Nelson Ariza, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, 333.

4040
02:13:44,700 --> 02:13:47,140
I appreciate what you guys do.

4041
02:13:47,340 --> 02:13:47,800
Thank you.

4042
02:13:48,220 --> 02:13:50,060
Can I get some Trump Jobs Karma?

4043
02:13:50,460 --> 02:13:52,020
And I love my truck.

4044
02:13:53,580 --> 02:13:54,880
I'm waiting for your truck.

4045
02:13:55,620 --> 02:13:57,180
It's on the other desk.

4046
02:13:57,260 --> 02:13:58,040
I have to go get it.

4047
02:13:58,120 --> 02:13:59,720
Okay, I'll do the Karma, and you run

4048
02:13:59,720 --> 02:14:00,640
like the wind.

4049
02:14:01,100 --> 02:14:03,680
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.

4050
02:14:05,360 --> 02:14:07,060
You've got Karma.

4051
02:14:14,160 --> 02:14:16,280
The timing is uncanny.

4052
02:14:17,160 --> 02:14:18,780
Can you find it?

4053
02:14:20,060 --> 02:14:22,180
I love my truck, and I love what

4054
02:14:22,180 --> 02:14:22,640
I do.

4055
02:14:22,760 --> 02:14:23,140
Cool.

4056
02:14:23,880 --> 02:14:24,860
Yeah, I moved it to the right.

4057
02:14:24,940 --> 02:14:25,620
Beautiful timing.

4058
02:14:26,080 --> 02:14:26,580
It got moved.

4059
02:14:26,700 --> 02:14:28,200
It ain't no use to cook it if

4060
02:14:28,200 --> 02:14:29,780
you don't use fresh vegetables.

4061
02:14:30,520 --> 02:14:34,640
JD is in Elkhorn, Nebraska, 234.56. Nice

4062
02:14:34,640 --> 02:14:35,560
sequential number.

4063
02:14:35,700 --> 02:14:37,480
With the help of Linda Liu, listen to

4064
02:14:37,480 --> 02:14:40,140
this, I started a new job in December.

4065
02:14:40,260 --> 02:14:40,900
Wouldn't you know it?

4066
02:14:41,140 --> 02:14:43,740
My corner office is Building 33.

4067
02:14:44,580 --> 02:14:44,760
Woo!

4068
02:14:45,000 --> 02:14:46,880
And this donation takes me to knighthood.

4069
02:14:47,220 --> 02:14:50,280
I will be known as Sarcastic the Nomad,

4070
02:14:50,360 --> 02:14:52,300
henceforth, given that I can't seem to stay

4071
02:14:52,300 --> 02:14:53,280
in one place for long.

4072
02:14:53,960 --> 02:14:55,280
Tam-do, Tam-do?

4073
02:14:55,440 --> 02:14:56,080
Is it Tam-do?

4074
02:14:56,320 --> 02:14:58,620
12-year and lamb chops at the round

4075
02:14:58,620 --> 02:14:58,840
table.

4076
02:14:58,960 --> 02:14:59,440
Tam-do?

4077
02:14:59,520 --> 02:15:00,320
Does that sound right?

4078
02:15:00,920 --> 02:15:01,320
I don't know.

4079
02:15:01,840 --> 02:15:03,500
I've never heard of Tam-do.

4080
02:15:03,820 --> 02:15:05,900
Tam-do sounds like a scotch.

4081
02:15:06,340 --> 02:15:06,800
Yes.

4082
02:15:06,800 --> 02:15:09,160
A single malt, probably.

4083
02:15:09,840 --> 02:15:10,640
Well, that wouldn't be legit.

4084
02:15:11,200 --> 02:15:17,020
Jobs, karma, and a stay safe to christen

4085
02:15:17,020 --> 02:15:17,720
the occasion.

4086
02:15:17,980 --> 02:15:20,340
JD, formerly of Elkhorn, Nebraska.

4087
02:15:20,780 --> 02:15:24,220
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4088
02:15:24,420 --> 02:15:25,880
Let's vote for jobs.

4089
02:15:25,940 --> 02:15:26,300
Yeah!

4090
02:15:28,410 --> 02:15:29,950
You've got karma.

4091
02:15:32,330 --> 02:15:35,710
Daniel Williams in Mount Shasta, California, right up

4092
02:15:35,710 --> 02:15:36,610
the road.

4093
02:15:36,610 --> 02:15:39,770
Two-two, which is, yeah, nice area.

4094
02:15:40,330 --> 02:15:41,410
Two-two-two-dot-two-two.

4095
02:15:41,810 --> 02:15:43,890
Row of ducks for some travel karma for

4096
02:15:43,890 --> 02:15:44,610
the...

4097
02:15:46,710 --> 02:15:47,750
The Karnowskis?

4098
02:15:48,090 --> 02:15:50,170
Karnowskis, Jeans, Williams, and...

4099
02:15:50,170 --> 02:15:50,810
Jerrys.

4100
02:15:50,830 --> 02:15:52,670
...and Bailey's on the go over the next

4101
02:15:52,670 --> 02:15:53,190
few days.

4102
02:15:53,290 --> 02:15:56,970
I think it's Karnowkis, Jerrys, Williams, and Bailey's.

4103
02:15:58,150 --> 02:15:59,290
Karnowkis, something like that.

4104
02:15:59,350 --> 02:16:00,970
All right, here's travel karma for you.

4105
02:16:01,310 --> 02:16:02,190
Stay safe.

4106
02:16:02,530 --> 02:16:04,070
You've got karma.

4107
02:16:04,890 --> 02:16:07,590
And that's an Associate Executive Producer credit for

4108
02:16:07,590 --> 02:16:10,130
you, as well for Sir Bates from Bloomington,

4109
02:16:10,250 --> 02:16:10,570
Minnesota.

4110
02:16:10,730 --> 02:16:11,710
A lot of Minnesota today.

4111
02:16:12,110 --> 02:16:14,170
$219.04 is his donation.

4112
02:16:14,290 --> 02:16:17,110
He says, no jingles, no karma, no note.

4113
02:16:17,630 --> 02:16:18,130
Beautiful.

4114
02:16:18,750 --> 02:16:19,450
Good man.

4115
02:16:19,770 --> 02:16:23,010
Eli the Coffee Guy in Bensonville, Illinois, $201

4116
02:16:23,010 --> 02:16:26,550
.30. You're familiar with his work.

4117
02:16:27,310 --> 02:16:28,730
I'm excited for the...

4118
02:16:28,730 --> 02:16:29,210
I am.

4119
02:16:30,250 --> 02:16:33,270
...Chicagoland No Agenda Meetup at Reggie's in the

4120
02:16:33,270 --> 02:16:36,889
South Loop on Saturday, February 1st.

4121
02:16:36,950 --> 02:16:37,389
Oh, good.

4122
02:16:38,209 --> 02:16:39,650
I've been to a bunch of meetups over

4123
02:16:39,650 --> 02:16:41,910
the years, and will affirm that connection is

4124
02:16:41,910 --> 02:16:42,309
protection.

4125
02:16:43,049 --> 02:16:44,850
I can't wait to hang out with some

4126
02:16:44,850 --> 02:16:45,650
awesome people.

4127
02:16:45,790 --> 02:16:46,110
Can I...

4128
02:16:46,110 --> 02:16:48,150
Bring some bags of coffee and...

4129
02:16:48,330 --> 02:16:49,270
...and raffle them off.

4130
02:16:49,350 --> 02:16:49,850
There you go.

4131
02:16:50,690 --> 02:16:51,469
Raffle them off.

4132
02:16:51,930 --> 02:16:53,430
Can I get a goat karma for...

4133
02:16:53,430 --> 02:16:54,830
Yeah, that's a good idea.

4134
02:16:55,170 --> 02:16:56,510
Can I get a goat karma for good

4135
02:16:56,510 --> 02:16:56,930
measure?

4136
02:16:56,930 --> 02:16:58,750
And if you haven't tried our coffee, by

4137
02:16:58,750 --> 02:17:01,690
the way, visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com.

4138
02:17:01,750 --> 02:17:02,969
You'll be happy you did.

4139
02:17:03,170 --> 02:17:04,730
The code ITM for 20% off your

4140
02:17:04,730 --> 02:17:04,969
order.

4141
02:17:05,070 --> 02:17:05,809
Stay caffeinated.

4142
02:17:06,270 --> 02:17:07,450
Eli the Coffee Guy.

4143
02:17:07,950 --> 02:17:10,170
Code ITM20 for 20% off your order.

4144
02:17:10,170 --> 02:17:10,969
What did I say?

4145
02:17:11,090 --> 02:17:12,389
You said code ITM.

4146
02:17:12,730 --> 02:17:14,049
It's code Bongino.

4147
02:17:14,309 --> 02:17:15,629
Code Bongino is the go-to.

4148
02:17:15,629 --> 02:17:16,150
No good, no good.

4149
02:17:16,350 --> 02:17:18,049
And he wants some goat karma.

4150
02:17:18,230 --> 02:17:19,370
Of course we got that for you, Eli.

4151
02:17:19,570 --> 02:17:21,389
You've got...

4152
02:17:21,990 --> 02:17:24,690
...karma. And there she is with $200 helping

4153
02:17:24,690 --> 02:17:25,850
people get jobs.

4154
02:17:25,850 --> 02:17:26,870
We just heard about it.

4155
02:17:26,930 --> 02:17:28,570
Linda Lopatkin, Lakewood, Colorado.

4156
02:17:29,190 --> 02:17:31,010
And she asked for jobs karma and says,

4157
02:17:31,190 --> 02:17:33,270
for a winning resume and a faster job

4158
02:17:33,270 --> 02:17:35,770
search, go to imagemakersinc.com.

4159
02:17:35,889 --> 02:17:37,610
That's imagemakersinc with a K.

4160
02:17:38,010 --> 02:17:40,389
And work with Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs

4161
02:17:40,389 --> 02:17:41,469
and writer of resumes.

4162
02:17:41,690 --> 02:17:43,850
Your go-to for all of your executive

4163
02:17:43,850 --> 02:17:45,990
resume and job search needs.

4164
02:17:46,290 --> 02:17:49,469
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4165
02:17:49,629 --> 02:17:51,170
Let's vote for jobs.

4166
02:17:51,510 --> 02:17:53,070
You've got karma.

4167
02:17:55,469 --> 02:17:58,690
Brian Antoniotti in Pembroke, Massachusetts.

4168
02:17:59,809 --> 02:18:00,330
$200.

4169
02:18:00,790 --> 02:18:03,370
I put my father onto the show about

4170
02:18:03,370 --> 02:18:05,150
a year ago, and he still loves it.

4171
02:18:06,010 --> 02:18:07,930
I'm donating on his behalf and would like

4172
02:18:07,930 --> 02:18:09,110
to credit this donation.

4173
02:18:09,350 --> 02:18:10,190
This is a switcheroo.

4174
02:18:10,389 --> 02:18:11,410
Yep, switcheroo.

4175
02:18:11,450 --> 02:18:13,469
To my grandmother Lorraine.

4176
02:18:14,030 --> 02:18:15,230
Please de-douche her.

4177
02:18:16,990 --> 02:18:18,670
You've been de-douched.

4178
02:18:19,490 --> 02:18:21,290
She's new to this show, and she's been

4179
02:18:21,290 --> 02:18:22,750
enjoying it very much.

4180
02:18:22,750 --> 02:18:26,110
I could use a proving the random number

4181
02:18:26,110 --> 02:18:26,610
theory.

4182
02:18:26,809 --> 02:18:27,330
There it is.

4183
02:18:27,950 --> 02:18:29,750
I love my truck jingle.

4184
02:18:29,930 --> 02:18:32,650
Give it up for four more years.

4185
02:18:36,309 --> 02:18:39,010
I love my truck, and I love what

4186
02:18:39,010 --> 02:18:39,469
I do.

4187
02:18:39,790 --> 02:18:42,770
And our final associate executive producer, Sir Tim

4188
02:18:42,770 --> 02:18:44,070
from Overland Park, Kansas.

4189
02:18:44,230 --> 02:18:44,590
$200.

4190
02:18:44,950 --> 02:18:46,490
And he says, Adam keeps talking about a

4191
02:18:46,490 --> 02:18:47,350
universal ID.

4192
02:18:47,950 --> 02:18:49,250
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that

4193
02:18:49,250 --> 02:18:50,670
what real ID is?

4194
02:18:51,190 --> 02:18:53,969
No, it's universal digital ID.

4195
02:18:55,070 --> 02:18:56,230
He goes on to say, there are two

4196
02:18:56,230 --> 02:18:58,190
alphanumeric sequences on the bottom of my real

4197
02:18:58,190 --> 02:19:00,389
ID driver's license that weren't on my old

4198
02:19:00,389 --> 02:19:02,230
DL, and I have no idea what they're

4199
02:19:02,230 --> 02:19:02,469
for.

4200
02:19:02,570 --> 02:19:03,889
It's to target you with a drone.

4201
02:19:04,430 --> 02:19:06,209
Also, when I worked as a contractor for

4202
02:19:06,209 --> 02:19:08,790
the RTC Savings and Loan bailout in the

4203
02:19:08,790 --> 02:19:10,809
early to mid-90s, when contracts came up

4204
02:19:10,809 --> 02:19:13,110
to be bid on only minority-owned companies

4205
02:19:13,110 --> 02:19:14,969
were allowed to bid, and that was 35

4206
02:19:14,969 --> 02:19:15,590
years ago.

4207
02:19:15,830 --> 02:19:18,049
So large companies just formed a joint venture

4208
02:19:18,049 --> 02:19:20,030
with some minority-owned company and bid on

4209
02:19:20,030 --> 02:19:21,610
the contracts using the loophole.

4210
02:19:22,070 --> 02:19:23,950
I don't think anything has changed in 35

4211
02:19:23,950 --> 02:19:24,750
years, Sir Tim.

4212
02:19:25,309 --> 02:19:25,969
That's clear.

4213
02:19:26,070 --> 02:19:27,910
And thank you very much for supporting the

4214
02:19:27,910 --> 02:19:28,650
show with your treasure.

02:19:28,770 --> 02:19:31,410

And of course, we'll be thanking everybody who

02:19:37,150 --> 02:19:38,750
comes in over $50.

4219
02:19:39,330 --> 02:19:41,250
Looking forward to that in our second segment.

02:19:41,370 --> 02:19:44,049

I love my job, and I love what

4232
02:19:59,510 --> 02:19:59,850
I do.

4233
02:20:00,130 --> 02:20:01,470
Our formula is this.

4234
02:20:02,190 --> 02:20:04,590
We go out, we hit people in the

4235
02:20:04,590 --> 02:20:04,810
mouth.

4236
02:20:09,930 --> 02:20:10,370
Order!

4237
02:20:11,990 --> 02:20:12,430
Order!

4238
02:20:12,670 --> 02:20:13,350
Stay safe!

4239
02:20:15,690 --> 02:20:17,090
Shut up, Steve.

4240
02:20:18,050 --> 02:20:19,650
I know you don't like it when I

4241
02:20:19,650 --> 02:20:22,790
do this, but you filled up the intro

4242
02:20:22,790 --> 02:20:24,450
of that jingle with I love my truck

4243
02:20:24,450 --> 02:20:25,010
perfectly.

4244
02:20:25,190 --> 02:20:25,790
It was tight.

4245
02:20:25,990 --> 02:20:28,370
I mean, there are radio professionals around the

4246
02:20:28,370 --> 02:20:30,510
world right now going, wow, how do those

4247
02:20:30,510 --> 02:20:31,190
guys do it?

4248
02:20:33,310 --> 02:20:33,730
You're right.

4249
02:20:33,850 --> 02:20:34,630
It was awesome.

4250
02:20:35,730 --> 02:20:37,250
That was really good.

4251
02:20:38,050 --> 02:20:39,310
I just have to say.

4252
02:20:39,490 --> 02:20:41,510
I had it at the ready, waiting for

4253
02:20:41,510 --> 02:20:42,030
the moment.

4254
02:20:42,670 --> 02:20:43,030
You're right.

4255
02:20:43,170 --> 02:20:46,190
Okay, it was planned, perfectly planned.

4256
02:20:46,750 --> 02:20:49,050
So I do have some clips that are

4257
02:20:49,050 --> 02:20:51,570
unreported in the mainstream media I want to

4258
02:20:51,570 --> 02:20:52,870
play because I'll bet you don't.

4259
02:20:52,990 --> 02:20:54,010
You know about Mega?

4260
02:20:54,270 --> 02:20:57,570
Is that the big guy from New Zealand's

4261
02:20:57,570 --> 02:20:58,170
place, Mega?

4262
02:20:59,410 --> 02:21:00,370
The Megacorp?

4263
02:21:00,930 --> 02:21:01,590
What's his name?

4264
02:21:01,810 --> 02:21:02,310
What's the guy?

4265
02:21:02,630 --> 02:21:03,470
The German guy?

4266
02:21:04,030 --> 02:21:04,950
Yeah, Kim.

4267
02:21:05,050 --> 02:21:05,750
Kim.com.

4268
02:21:05,870 --> 02:21:06,370
Yeah, that guy.

4269
02:21:07,110 --> 02:21:07,410
Nope.

4270
02:21:07,690 --> 02:21:07,850
Oh.

4271
02:21:08,670 --> 02:21:09,150
No.

4272
02:21:09,650 --> 02:21:11,030
I'm not aware.

4273
02:21:11,470 --> 02:21:14,370
This Mega, when I heard the story, I

4274
02:21:14,370 --> 02:21:17,930
said, this is like literally not being reported

4275
02:21:17,930 --> 02:21:19,970
anywhere as though it's not even happening, but

4276
02:21:19,970 --> 02:21:20,430
it is.

4277
02:21:21,170 --> 02:21:23,250
You'll find out all about it by Unreported

4278
02:21:23,250 --> 02:21:23,850
Mega 1.

4279
02:21:24,250 --> 02:21:27,250
Conservative movements and politicians rallied in Brussels for

4280
02:21:27,250 --> 02:21:29,190
a Make Europe Great Again meeting.

4281
02:21:29,410 --> 02:21:31,970
It talked about how European countries could follow

4282
02:21:31,970 --> 02:21:34,850
the example of the new Trump administration and

4283
02:21:34,850 --> 02:21:35,950
some of its policies.

4284
02:21:36,290 --> 02:21:39,870
NTD's international correspondent, David Vives, reports from Brussels.

4285
02:21:40,410 --> 02:21:43,490
More than 50 politicians across Europe, mostly members

4286
02:21:43,490 --> 02:21:47,110
of parliament, state officials, former ministers, have gathered

4287
02:21:47,110 --> 02:21:48,130
today in Brussels.

4288
02:21:48,570 --> 02:21:50,990
They rallied under the slogan Make Europe Great

4289
02:21:50,990 --> 02:21:51,470
Again.

4290
02:21:52,070 --> 02:21:54,890
They said that Trump's victory has empowered conservative

4291
02:21:54,890 --> 02:21:57,770
movement across Europe and are envisioning a future

4292
02:21:57,770 --> 02:22:00,970
where European policies could follow the path set

4293
02:22:00,970 --> 02:22:02,170
by the US president.

4294
02:22:02,770 --> 02:22:05,430
Speakers said the Trump administration set an example

4295
02:22:05,430 --> 02:22:06,090
to follow.

4296
02:22:06,490 --> 02:22:08,850
Up until now, the people have been told,

4297
02:22:08,990 --> 02:22:10,450
well, we can't protect our borders.

4298
02:22:10,730 --> 02:22:12,070
We can't close our borders.

4299
02:22:12,070 --> 02:22:12,850
It's impossible.

4300
02:22:13,230 --> 02:22:14,470
We simply can't do it.

4301
02:22:14,590 --> 02:22:16,330
Even if we wanted to, it's impossible.

4302
02:22:17,150 --> 02:22:19,450
And now, Donald Trump is just, guess what,

4303
02:22:19,470 --> 02:22:20,270
I'm just doing it.

4304
02:22:20,550 --> 02:22:21,210
So, of course.

4305
02:22:21,510 --> 02:22:22,850
And then people will say, well, wait a

4306
02:22:22,850 --> 02:22:22,970
minute.

4307
02:22:23,390 --> 02:22:25,030
It is possible to do that.

4308
02:22:25,270 --> 02:22:26,330
Of course it's possible.

4309
02:22:26,690 --> 02:22:27,810
Oh, that's Christine.

4310
02:22:29,210 --> 02:22:30,010
Christine Anderson.

4311
02:22:30,310 --> 02:22:31,130
Christine, what's her name?

4312
02:22:31,310 --> 02:22:32,550
Yeah, I can't remember her name.

4313
02:22:32,790 --> 02:22:35,390
Yeah, she's a heavy hitter.

4314
02:22:35,510 --> 02:22:36,570
So, Mega, that's interesting.

4315
02:22:37,370 --> 02:22:39,070
Yeah, this is not, of course, who wants

4316
02:22:39,070 --> 02:22:39,730
to report this?

4317
02:22:39,810 --> 02:22:41,290
Because we have to be told, the American

4318
02:22:41,290 --> 02:22:44,670
public has to think that Trump is an

4319
02:22:44,670 --> 02:22:46,510
international divisive figure.

4320
02:22:47,170 --> 02:22:48,450
Do they have red hats?

4321
02:22:49,690 --> 02:22:52,890
I didn't see it.

4322
02:22:53,010 --> 02:22:55,390
Well, here's an opportunity, people.

4323
02:22:55,630 --> 02:22:57,910
This is a noagendashop.com.

4324
02:22:57,970 --> 02:22:59,790
Here is a marketing opportunity.

4325
02:23:00,470 --> 02:23:01,470
I'm just saying.

4326
02:23:01,590 --> 02:23:02,710
Make Europe great again.

4327
02:23:02,810 --> 02:23:04,130
Here's clip two of this.

4328
02:23:04,370 --> 02:23:06,530
They also say European countries should work to

4329
02:23:06,530 --> 02:23:08,270
defend their values and identities.

4330
02:23:08,270 --> 02:23:13,450
We need to defend our European civilization, which

4331
02:23:13,450 --> 02:23:15,570
is something quite different from just the current

4332
02:23:15,570 --> 02:23:16,390
globalist trend.

4333
02:23:16,750 --> 02:23:18,750
I want to refer to a very specific

4334
02:23:18,750 --> 02:23:23,210
historical, cultural and spiritual identity, and which today

4335
02:23:23,210 --> 02:23:26,150
is seriously threatened both by the threat posed

4336
02:23:26,150 --> 02:23:27,270
by woke ideology.

4337
02:23:27,730 --> 02:23:30,670
We need to find back faith, tradition, also

4338
02:23:30,670 --> 02:23:31,730
belief in God.

4339
02:23:32,130 --> 02:23:34,670
Trump's diplomacy toward Europe seems to have taken

4340
02:23:34,670 --> 02:23:36,630
a different turn from his first term.

4341
02:23:36,630 --> 02:23:39,710
Top EU diplomat Kaja Kallas said she invited

4342
02:23:39,710 --> 02:23:42,350
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to a

4343
02:23:42,350 --> 02:23:45,090
foreign ministers' meeting to strengthen ties, but was

4344
02:23:45,090 --> 02:23:46,210
offered no answer.

4345
02:23:46,310 --> 02:23:49,090
According to an article published by Politico, President

4346
02:23:49,090 --> 02:23:51,930
Donald Trump may prefer to deal directly with

4347
02:23:51,930 --> 02:23:54,630
individual state members rather than EU officials.

4348
02:23:55,270 --> 02:23:58,630
This potential strain in relations may benefit European

4349
02:23:58,630 --> 02:24:01,410
leaders who align their policies on Donald Trump's

4350
02:24:01,410 --> 02:24:01,810
approach.

4351
02:24:02,610 --> 02:24:04,610
According to President of the Italian think tank

4352
02:24:04,610 --> 02:24:08,510
Nazione Futura Francesco Jubilee, EU top officials have

4353
02:24:08,510 --> 02:24:11,230
distanced themselves from Trump in the past, which

4354
02:24:11,230 --> 02:24:12,510
may explain the situation.

4355
02:24:13,690 --> 02:24:14,210
Hmm.

4356
02:24:14,450 --> 02:24:18,130
You know what I'm noticing in a lot

4357
02:24:18,130 --> 02:24:18,550
of these clips?

4358
02:24:18,650 --> 02:24:19,850
God seems to be trending.

4359
02:24:20,670 --> 02:24:22,910
Well, God's trending every now and again, but

4360
02:24:22,910 --> 02:24:23,670
it was overdue.

4361
02:24:24,450 --> 02:24:26,170
Now, there's a couple of other things that

4362
02:24:26,170 --> 02:24:26,450
was...

4363
02:24:26,450 --> 02:24:27,450
You mean the Third Awakening?

4364
02:24:28,270 --> 02:24:29,310
It comes and goes.

4365
02:24:31,870 --> 02:24:32,370
They...

4366
02:24:33,130 --> 02:24:35,510
I want to mention something else before we

4367
02:24:35,510 --> 02:24:38,210
play the last clip, which is that even

4368
02:24:38,210 --> 02:24:40,610
though they're not part of Make Europe Great

4369
02:24:40,610 --> 02:24:43,010
Again, is that I was thinking about this

4370
02:24:43,010 --> 02:24:44,390
because you had me...

4371
02:24:44,390 --> 02:24:46,850
You got me watching The Diplomat, which is

4372
02:24:46,850 --> 02:24:49,910
a very kind of a woke-ish, but

4373
02:24:49,910 --> 02:24:50,310
interesting...

4374
02:24:51,070 --> 02:24:52,010
Well-done show.

4375
02:24:52,710 --> 02:24:53,190
Very...

4376
02:24:53,190 --> 02:24:55,650
The structure of the story is terrific.

4377
02:24:55,670 --> 02:24:57,090
I think this is the first time I've

4378
02:24:57,090 --> 02:24:58,930
actually got you to watch a show and

4379
02:24:58,930 --> 02:25:00,310
stick with it.

4380
02:25:01,090 --> 02:25:03,290
It's because it's one of the best-written

4381
02:25:03,290 --> 02:25:04,170
shows on television.

4382
02:25:04,370 --> 02:25:05,390
Have you seen Landman?

4383
02:25:06,490 --> 02:25:08,850
I'm not going to watch Landman or anything

4384
02:25:08,850 --> 02:25:09,750
to do with Yellowstone.

4385
02:25:10,170 --> 02:25:10,950
It's just too much.

4386
02:25:11,110 --> 02:25:13,110
It has nothing to do with Yellowstone.

4387
02:25:14,250 --> 02:25:16,550
I'll check Landman out some other time.

4388
02:25:17,330 --> 02:25:19,710
But I'm going back to...

4389
02:25:19,710 --> 02:25:20,730
That's not the point I'm trying to make.

4390
02:25:20,850 --> 02:25:23,010
I'm Diplomat, and then there's this other show,

4391
02:25:23,270 --> 02:25:25,630
which is Black Dove, which I, by the

4392
02:25:25,630 --> 02:25:26,830
way, had to stop watching it.

4393
02:25:26,830 --> 02:25:27,570
We stopped.

4394
02:25:27,710 --> 02:25:29,230
We could not last.

4395
02:25:29,230 --> 02:25:30,130
No, it's unwatchable.

4396
02:25:30,170 --> 02:25:31,330
It is unwatchable.

4397
02:25:32,950 --> 02:25:35,010
Only because what's-their-face is in it

4398
02:25:35,010 --> 02:25:36,930
that we watched at least two episodes?

4399
02:25:37,490 --> 02:25:38,310
Keira Knightley.

4400
02:25:38,490 --> 02:25:39,170
Keira Knightley.

4401
02:25:39,410 --> 02:25:40,850
But, oh, no, it's horrible.

4402
02:25:41,190 --> 02:25:42,170
It's a terrible show.

4403
02:25:42,490 --> 02:25:44,710
And then there's The Agency.

4404
02:25:45,390 --> 02:25:45,770
Yes.

4405
02:25:46,150 --> 02:25:48,050
Now, what do these three shows have in

4406
02:25:48,050 --> 02:25:48,350
common?

4407
02:25:48,650 --> 02:25:49,170
Spooks.

4408
02:25:50,430 --> 02:25:52,130
What else do they have in common?

4409
02:25:52,910 --> 02:25:53,750
Gay sex.

4410
02:25:56,610 --> 02:25:57,810
I'm just...

4411
02:25:57,810 --> 02:25:58,810
Okay, I'm not going to go on and

4412
02:25:58,810 --> 02:25:59,030
on.

4413
02:25:59,110 --> 02:26:01,030
But what they really have in common is

4414
02:26:01,030 --> 02:26:03,790
a kind of a...

4415
02:26:03,790 --> 02:26:08,610
I'd say a presentation of the British Empire

4416
02:26:08,610 --> 02:26:11,270
as a bunch of screwed-up a-holes.

4417
02:26:11,510 --> 02:26:11,830
Yes.

4418
02:26:12,490 --> 02:26:16,510
All three shows are about how screwed up

4419
02:26:16,510 --> 02:26:18,310
and how crummy the Brits are.

4420
02:26:18,330 --> 02:26:19,050
That's a good point.

4421
02:26:19,230 --> 02:26:22,590
And this fits right in with Elon Musk

4422
02:26:22,590 --> 02:26:23,730
being the hitman for the British Empire.

4423
02:26:23,730 --> 02:26:28,150
For Trump going after Keir Starmer, Starmer, Sturmer,

4424
02:26:28,150 --> 02:26:28,970
whatever his name is.

4425
02:26:29,270 --> 02:26:30,570
The Prime Minister of England.

4426
02:26:31,270 --> 02:26:33,950
I think you've identified an important trend here.

4427
02:26:34,290 --> 02:26:35,730
This trend is huge.

4428
02:26:36,550 --> 02:26:38,130
And what they're doing is they were cutting

4429
02:26:38,130 --> 02:26:39,350
off England because...

4430
02:26:39,350 --> 02:26:40,610
And I think it's...

4431
02:26:40,610 --> 02:26:43,650
These storylines were started long before Trump showed

4432
02:26:43,650 --> 02:26:44,410
up and won.

4433
02:26:44,890 --> 02:26:47,070
But these storylines began some time ago.

4434
02:26:47,170 --> 02:26:48,210
This hatred of England.

4435
02:26:48,370 --> 02:26:51,170
We're turning on England for some reason.

4436
02:26:51,170 --> 02:26:52,490
I'm not sure exactly what it is.

4437
02:26:52,610 --> 02:26:56,530
How about that they stand for everything perpendicularly

4438
02:26:56,530 --> 02:26:57,730
opposite to America?

4439
02:26:58,090 --> 02:26:58,710
Like freedom of speech.

4440
02:26:58,710 --> 02:26:59,930
They're against free speech.

4441
02:27:00,310 --> 02:27:02,730
They have all kinds of issues going on

4442
02:27:02,730 --> 02:27:03,010
over there.

4443
02:27:03,250 --> 02:27:06,370
They're threatening us by saying we're going to

4444
02:27:06,370 --> 02:27:09,310
extradite anybody who says anything that we don't

4445
02:27:09,310 --> 02:27:09,690
like.

4446
02:27:09,810 --> 02:27:10,010
Yep.

4447
02:27:10,410 --> 02:27:10,510
Yep.

4448
02:27:10,770 --> 02:27:13,490
And Starmer is a creep.

4449
02:27:13,850 --> 02:27:15,770
And the fact that he sent people over

4450
02:27:15,770 --> 02:27:19,870
to campaign for Kamala Harris is not sitting

4451
02:27:19,870 --> 02:27:20,250
well.

4452
02:27:20,250 --> 02:27:22,410
And these three shows and I think there's

4453
02:27:22,410 --> 02:27:24,650
other shows too that are showing up are

4454
02:27:24,650 --> 02:27:26,230
so anti-English.

4455
02:27:26,410 --> 02:27:29,470
There is a major movement going on that's

4456
02:27:29,470 --> 02:27:30,590
anti-England.

4457
02:27:31,130 --> 02:27:32,430
And we should be aware of it.

4458
02:27:32,570 --> 02:27:33,930
Well, come to think of it, when's the

4459
02:27:33,930 --> 02:27:36,810
last time you saw UK on a spreadsheet?

4460
02:27:40,060 --> 02:27:40,840
I haven't seen UK.

4461
02:27:40,840 --> 02:27:41,860
They're not donating.

4462
02:27:42,540 --> 02:27:43,800
They've left the building.

4463
02:27:44,220 --> 02:27:45,100
Oh, that's a good...

4464
02:27:46,480 --> 02:27:47,300
You're right.

4465
02:27:48,040 --> 02:27:49,380
We've probably been cut off.

4466
02:27:49,380 --> 02:27:51,460
We probably can't get our message into the

4467
02:27:51,460 --> 02:27:51,840
country.

4468
02:27:53,560 --> 02:27:55,880
Hey, get some thumb drives and drop them

4469
02:27:55,880 --> 02:27:56,680
off in the UK.

4470
02:27:56,900 --> 02:27:57,860
These people need help.

4471
02:27:57,960 --> 02:27:59,180
They need help from us.

4472
02:28:00,180 --> 02:28:02,880
It's so hard to cover the...

4473
02:28:02,880 --> 02:28:04,280
Actually, I have a...

4474
02:28:04,280 --> 02:28:05,340
Funny you bring this up.

4475
02:28:05,480 --> 02:28:07,940
I have a Prime Minister Question Time clip.

4476
02:28:08,760 --> 02:28:10,400
Let's play that right after we get out

4477
02:28:10,400 --> 02:28:10,740
of the...

4478
02:28:10,740 --> 02:28:11,480
Okay, number three.

4479
02:28:11,580 --> 02:28:12,020
Here we go.

4480
02:28:12,180 --> 02:28:14,700
The position of the European Union in the

4481
02:28:14,700 --> 02:28:18,160
last few years was a position totally against

4482
02:28:18,160 --> 02:28:20,780
the Republican Party and a position totally against

4483
02:28:20,780 --> 02:28:21,580
Donald Trump.

4484
02:28:21,920 --> 02:28:24,160
But now we must have a real politic.

4485
02:28:24,660 --> 02:28:27,540
Donald Trump, also if maybe Ursula von der

4486
02:28:27,540 --> 02:28:29,140
Leyen or some other people in the European

4487
02:28:29,140 --> 02:28:31,540
Union they don't like him, but right now

4488
02:28:31,540 --> 02:28:32,860
he's the President of the United States.

4489
02:28:33,100 --> 02:28:35,160
So we must talk with him.

4490
02:28:35,420 --> 02:28:38,120
He believes Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who

4491
02:28:38,120 --> 02:28:40,240
was the only European head of state invited

4492
02:28:40,240 --> 02:28:42,960
to Donald Trump's inauguration, could be a leading

4493
02:28:42,960 --> 02:28:43,980
figure for Europe.

4494
02:28:43,980 --> 02:28:47,180
And having a Prime Minister which can talk

4495
02:28:47,180 --> 02:28:50,380
with him in a good relationship like Giorgia

4496
02:28:50,380 --> 02:28:52,680
Meloni can be something good for all the

4497
02:28:52,680 --> 02:28:53,260
European Union.

4498
02:28:53,660 --> 02:28:54,520
Was she there?

4499
02:28:54,700 --> 02:28:56,000
Was she at the inauguration?

4500
02:28:56,080 --> 02:28:56,500
Did she go?

4501
02:28:56,500 --> 02:28:56,880
I don't know.

4502
02:28:56,960 --> 02:28:57,480
I think so.

4503
02:28:57,580 --> 02:28:58,180
She might have been.

4504
02:28:58,260 --> 02:28:59,120
She should have been invited.

4505
02:28:59,300 --> 02:29:00,660
She should have been Elon's date.

4506
02:29:01,220 --> 02:29:02,780
I'm surprised he didn't walk in.

4507
02:29:03,060 --> 02:29:05,640
Or Obama's date for that matter.

4508
02:29:05,760 --> 02:29:06,960
She could have been anybody's date.

4509
02:29:08,380 --> 02:29:10,540
This is a very interesting trend.

4510
02:29:10,640 --> 02:29:11,880
Thank you for identifying this.

4511
02:29:11,880 --> 02:29:13,540
This is a very...

4512
02:29:13,540 --> 02:29:16,820
Particularly with the Hollywood stuff, because it's all

4513
02:29:16,820 --> 02:29:17,180
Hollywood.

4514
02:29:17,460 --> 02:29:18,680
It's Netflix really.

4515
02:29:18,820 --> 02:29:20,100
Isn't most of this Netflix?

4516
02:29:21,400 --> 02:29:23,440
The agency is Showtime.

4517
02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:24,140
OK.

4518
02:29:24,300 --> 02:29:25,120
Black Doves.

4519
02:29:26,220 --> 02:29:28,640
Black Dove and The Diplomat are both Netflix.

4520
02:29:29,980 --> 02:29:33,100
Well here's the Prime Minister's question time.

4521
02:29:33,280 --> 02:29:35,260
Turning now to the United States.

4522
02:29:35,960 --> 02:29:39,280
Can the Prime Minister guarantee that he will

4523
02:29:39,280 --> 02:29:43,140
not sell out Britain's fantastic farmers to Donald

4524
02:29:43,140 --> 02:29:45,620
Trump in a trade deal that undermines our

4525
02:29:45,620 --> 02:29:49,360
high food and animal welfare standards in the

4526
02:29:49,360 --> 02:29:52,660
way that the Conservatives sold them out in

4527
02:29:52,660 --> 02:29:54,520
the Australia and New Zealand deals?

4528
02:29:55,460 --> 02:29:56,240
Can I do it, sir?

4529
02:29:56,940 --> 02:30:00,160
Mr. Speaker, we will work with the US.

4530
02:30:00,320 --> 02:30:01,980
We will work with other countries, but we

4531
02:30:01,980 --> 02:30:03,540
will never lower our standards.

4532
02:30:03,940 --> 02:30:05,640
Yeah, we don't want you.

4533
02:30:06,520 --> 02:30:08,040
You can have our government cheese.

4534
02:30:09,180 --> 02:30:11,260
Yeah, we've got to be anti-England now.

4535
02:30:11,340 --> 02:30:12,040
This is interesting.

4536
02:30:13,960 --> 02:30:15,820
I know that Ursula...

4537
02:30:15,820 --> 02:30:17,120
Once you spot this trend, I think we're

4538
02:30:17,120 --> 02:30:18,300
going to start seeing a lot of it.

4539
02:30:18,540 --> 02:30:19,780
Well, Ursula has been...

4540
02:30:19,780 --> 02:30:25,060
Queen Ursula has really been trying to step

4541
02:30:25,060 --> 02:30:25,460
up.

4542
02:30:25,780 --> 02:30:28,580
She's like, we're going to reboot everything, but

4543
02:30:28,580 --> 02:30:29,660
we're still going to be green.

4544
02:30:31,260 --> 02:30:32,940
I was looking at her like, I don't

4545
02:30:32,940 --> 02:30:33,380
think so.

4546
02:30:33,740 --> 02:30:38,800
And of course, we're also stopping all the...

4547
02:30:38,800 --> 02:30:40,600
I so agree with this.

4548
02:30:41,540 --> 02:30:46,460
Of course, we need to quickly reinstate things

4549
02:30:46,460 --> 02:30:50,180
that are killing people, but the withholding all

4550
02:30:50,180 --> 02:30:52,160
foreign aid is kind of cool.

4551
02:30:53,040 --> 02:30:54,520
It's like, let's just stop for a second

4552
02:30:54,520 --> 02:30:56,600
and see what everybody thinks when we shut

4553
02:30:56,600 --> 02:31:00,660
down, which hopefully, well actually, it brings us

4554
02:31:00,660 --> 02:31:02,540
a rare Africa news clip.

4555
02:31:02,760 --> 02:31:05,560
Hundreds of aid programs are on edge after

4556
02:31:05,560 --> 02:31:08,440
U.S. President Donald Trump paused trillions of

4557
02:31:08,440 --> 02:31:11,280
dollars in federal spending, domestic and foreign.

4558
02:31:11,900 --> 02:31:14,240
The global impact of U.S. foreign aid

4559
02:31:14,240 --> 02:31:15,060
is massive.

4560
02:31:15,460 --> 02:31:18,620
It funds programs fighting disease, malnutrition and human

4561
02:31:18,620 --> 02:31:22,220
trafficking, security programs and aid for pregnant women

4562
02:31:22,220 --> 02:31:22,900
and babies.

4563
02:31:23,520 --> 02:31:26,400
Three million lives a year are saved just

4564
02:31:26,400 --> 02:31:29,220
from U.S. aid funded immunization programs.

4565
02:31:29,900 --> 02:31:31,980
The White House says Trump ordered the freeze

4566
02:31:31,980 --> 02:31:34,740
to root out any funding that isn't consistent

4567
02:31:34,740 --> 02:31:35,860
with his agenda.

4568
02:31:36,600 --> 02:31:37,940
So what does this pause mean?

4569
02:31:38,240 --> 02:31:40,380
It means no more funding for illegal DEI

4570
02:31:40,380 --> 02:31:40,940
programs.

4571
02:31:41,300 --> 02:31:43,340
It means no more funding for the green

4572
02:31:43,340 --> 02:31:46,820
new scam that has cost American taxpayers tens

4573
02:31:46,820 --> 02:31:48,380
of billions of dollars.

4574
02:31:48,520 --> 02:31:51,640
It means no more funding for transgenderism and

4575
02:31:51,640 --> 02:31:54,760
wokeness across our federal bureaucracy and agencies.

4576
02:31:55,360 --> 02:31:59,120
Initially, only emergency food programs and military aid

4577
02:31:59,120 --> 02:32:01,600
to Israel and Egypt were exempt from the

4578
02:32:01,600 --> 02:32:02,680
foreign aid pause.

4579
02:32:03,200 --> 02:32:06,440
But after international uproar, Secretary of State Marco

4580
02:32:06,440 --> 02:32:09,680
Rubio granted a waiver to continue funding humanitarian

4581
02:32:09,680 --> 02:32:13,720
programs that provide life-saving medicine, medical services,

4582
02:32:14,140 --> 02:32:16,880
food, shelter and subsistence assistance.

4583
02:32:17,500 --> 02:32:21,080
Still, many organizations are unclear whether they are

4584
02:32:21,080 --> 02:32:24,340
allowed to operate and worry about losing staff

4585
02:32:24,340 --> 02:32:25,320
and infrastructure.

4586
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:28,480
Trump's order is being challenged in U.S.

4587
02:32:28,480 --> 02:32:32,020
courts, and Tuesday, a judge temporarily blocked the

4588
02:32:32,020 --> 02:32:32,420
directive.

4589
02:32:32,900 --> 02:32:34,920
The White House says it will defend the

4590
02:32:34,920 --> 02:32:37,360
funding freeze, and this fight is likely to

4591
02:32:37,360 --> 02:32:39,260
go all the way to the Supreme Court.

4592
02:32:39,540 --> 02:32:42,000
This is how a businessman thinks, like, okay,

4593
02:32:42,060 --> 02:32:43,660
let me shut it all off, let's see

4594
02:32:43,660 --> 02:32:46,400
who comes crying first, and we'll evaluate on

4595
02:32:46,400 --> 02:32:48,500
a first-come, first-served basis.

4596
02:32:49,800 --> 02:32:52,260
It's, I mean, it sounds cruel, but it

4597
02:32:52,260 --> 02:32:52,900
is our money.

4598
02:32:55,250 --> 02:32:57,070
Yeah, I think the clip I have, which

4599
02:32:57,070 --> 02:32:59,230
includes this screwy one, this is the one

4600
02:32:59,230 --> 02:33:02,250
that's unfortunately, it's smudged, but it's the one

4601
02:33:02,250 --> 02:33:05,630
that has condom bombs in the title.

4602
02:33:06,190 --> 02:33:06,290
Yeah.

4603
02:33:07,550 --> 02:33:08,770
Yes, I have it here.

4604
02:33:08,930 --> 02:33:10,970
And during the signing ceremony today, President Trump

4605
02:33:10,970 --> 02:33:13,930
also announced a new order to send up

4606
02:33:13,930 --> 02:33:16,330
to 30,000 illegal immigrants, or what he

4607
02:33:16,330 --> 02:33:19,890
calls worst of the worst, to Guantanamo Bay.

4608
02:33:20,390 --> 02:33:22,830
And President Trump's borders are Tom Homan, talking

4609
02:33:22,830 --> 02:33:24,630
to us on the White House campus this

4610
02:33:24,630 --> 02:33:28,410
afternoon, told us that that's already actually expanding

4611
02:33:28,410 --> 02:33:31,190
an existing migrant center at Guantanamo.

4612
02:33:32,190 --> 02:33:35,330
Detained the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the

4613
02:33:35,330 --> 02:33:36,110
American people.

4614
02:33:36,230 --> 02:33:37,470
Some of them are so bad, we don't

4615
02:33:37,470 --> 02:33:39,150
even trust the countries to hold them.

4616
02:33:39,490 --> 02:33:41,730
The significant public safety threats, we can fight.

4617
02:33:42,410 --> 02:33:43,050
We're doing it.

4618
02:33:43,270 --> 02:33:44,070
We're already doing it.

4619
02:33:44,150 --> 02:33:48,650
We identified and stopped $50 million being sent

4620
02:33:48,650 --> 02:33:53,070
to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas.

4621
02:33:53,070 --> 02:33:54,270
$50 million.

4622
02:33:55,090 --> 02:33:56,850
And you know what's happened to them?

4623
02:33:57,050 --> 02:33:59,650
They've used them as a method of making

4624
02:33:59,650 --> 02:34:00,250
bombs.

4625
02:34:00,570 --> 02:34:01,030
What?

4626
02:34:02,030 --> 02:34:03,010
You haven't heard this?

4627
02:34:03,230 --> 02:34:03,450
No.

4628
02:34:03,650 --> 02:34:05,490
They make bombs out of condoms?

4629
02:34:06,070 --> 02:34:08,210
They use the bombs as some sort of

4630
02:34:08,210 --> 02:34:11,750
like a balloon, and then they hang some,

4631
02:34:11,870 --> 02:34:14,310
you know, explosive off a bunch of them,

4632
02:34:14,390 --> 02:34:15,490
and then they fly them over.

4633
02:34:16,190 --> 02:34:17,290
That's what they say.

4634
02:34:17,430 --> 02:34:19,170
I mean, it just is news to me

4635
02:34:19,170 --> 02:34:20,030
of condom bombs.

4636
02:34:20,050 --> 02:34:22,070
If it's condoms, that's a lot of rubber

4637
02:34:22,070 --> 02:34:24,110
that you're sending over there, $50 million.

4638
02:34:24,330 --> 02:34:25,290
I don't know what they cost.

4639
02:34:25,450 --> 02:34:26,190
It's been a while.

4640
02:34:27,010 --> 02:34:29,190
Well, that number changes from $50 million to,

4641
02:34:29,390 --> 02:34:31,390
and I've heard, $15 million, so I don't

4642
02:34:31,390 --> 02:34:31,590
know.

4643
02:34:31,870 --> 02:34:34,490
Well, Christy Noem is our new secretary of

4644
02:34:34,490 --> 02:34:36,330
the Department of Homeland Security.

4645
02:34:37,090 --> 02:34:39,570
Before you discuss this, if you listen to

4646
02:34:39,570 --> 02:34:42,170
that last clip when they're talking about opening

4647
02:34:42,170 --> 02:34:44,350
up Gitmo for $30,000 and sending people

4648
02:34:44,350 --> 02:34:48,750
there, she said, very subtly, and I caught

4649
02:34:48,750 --> 02:34:50,050
it, she says, we already are.

4650
02:34:51,030 --> 02:34:52,150
Oh, sending people to Gitmo?

4651
02:34:52,990 --> 02:34:55,350
Yeah, I think that's a secret that she

4652
02:34:55,350 --> 02:34:56,030
dropped.

4653
02:34:57,270 --> 02:34:58,630
But anyway, go on.

4654
02:34:59,010 --> 02:35:01,750
Well, I very much enjoyed her talking about

4655
02:35:01,750 --> 02:35:06,470
my favorite topic, which is the NGOs, which

4656
02:35:06,470 --> 02:35:09,750
is, and she actually explains how she, whether

4657
02:35:09,750 --> 02:35:11,850
it's true or not, incorrectly thought, you know,

4658
02:35:11,890 --> 02:35:14,190
NGOs are doing good things, you know, it's

4659
02:35:14,190 --> 02:35:17,790
nonprofit, it's good for people, and these are,

4660
02:35:17,970 --> 02:35:22,030
of course, in some cases, billion-dollar organizations

4661
02:35:23,470 --> 02:35:27,170
run, sadly, run by many faith-based organizations,

4662
02:35:27,390 --> 02:35:31,090
like the Catholic Bishops Conference, which, I don't

4663
02:35:31,090 --> 02:35:32,510
know if there's a Catholic or a bishop

4664
02:35:32,510 --> 02:35:36,810
actually in the organization, but it's a money

4665
02:35:36,810 --> 02:35:39,170
-making scheme, and it's hundreds of millions, if

4666
02:35:39,170 --> 02:35:42,070
not billions of dollars, and she lays it

4667
02:35:42,070 --> 02:35:43,610
out as we've cut it all off.

4668
02:35:43,650 --> 02:35:45,690
Madam Secretary, I don't think people fully understand

4669
02:35:45,690 --> 02:35:48,770
the role that NGOs play, many NGOs play,

4670
02:35:48,870 --> 02:35:50,490
in facilitating illegal immigration.

4671
02:35:50,650 --> 02:35:51,810
I just want to share these numbers with

4672
02:35:51,810 --> 02:35:53,210
everybody up on the screen.

4673
02:35:53,590 --> 02:35:56,050
We spend over $380 million, did in 2024,

4674
02:35:56,450 --> 02:35:59,250
for sheltering and service programs for illegal immigrants.

4675
02:36:00,870 --> 02:36:05,330
But the vast network of NGOs that help

4676
02:36:05,330 --> 02:36:08,950
facilitate it through Panama, through Mexico, and make

4677
02:36:08,950 --> 02:36:10,350
it a landing spot here in the United

4678
02:36:10,350 --> 02:36:13,510
States is a massive contributor here to illegal

4679
02:36:13,510 --> 02:36:13,910
immigration.

4680
02:36:14,030 --> 02:36:15,530
So what you're telling us today is that

4681
02:36:15,530 --> 02:36:16,190
now stops?

4682
02:36:16,390 --> 02:36:18,270
At least the federal funding of that stops?

4683
02:36:18,850 --> 02:36:20,730
Yes, through the Department of Homeland Security, we

4684
02:36:20,730 --> 02:36:23,010
have stopped spending those dollars to fund those

4685
02:36:23,010 --> 02:36:26,350
NGOs, and well, what's been so revealing is

4686
02:36:26,350 --> 02:36:29,190
that many of these NGOs actually have infrastructure

4687
02:36:29,190 --> 02:36:32,970
and operations set up in Mexico, on that

4688
02:36:32,970 --> 02:36:35,650
side of the border that are telling those

4689
02:36:35,650 --> 02:36:37,750
illegal immigrants to come to them, and they

4690
02:36:37,750 --> 02:36:39,010
will get them across the border.

4691
02:36:39,070 --> 02:36:40,690
So they're not just operating in the United

4692
02:36:40,690 --> 02:36:43,490
States, they're operating outside of the United States

4693
02:36:43,490 --> 02:36:45,170
to help make it easier for those who

4694
02:36:45,170 --> 02:36:46,050
want to break our laws.

4695
02:36:46,350 --> 02:36:47,890
And while I was one of those Americans

4696
02:36:47,890 --> 02:36:50,310
that years ago, when somebody said NGO to

4697
02:36:50,310 --> 02:36:51,910
me, I thought, oh, that's amazing.

4698
02:36:52,090 --> 02:36:54,490
That's a non-profit that's out there telling

4699
02:36:54,490 --> 02:36:58,190
somebody about Jesus, or spreading faith and salvation,

4700
02:36:58,410 --> 02:37:00,570
or doing good work and charitable work, helping

4701
02:37:00,570 --> 02:37:02,470
people that are less fortunate, and then I

4702
02:37:02,470 --> 02:37:06,430
realized over the years it's been perverted into

4703
02:37:06,430 --> 02:37:08,030
this shadow government.

4704
02:37:08,030 --> 02:37:11,250
An NGO is sometimes an operation that does

4705
02:37:11,250 --> 02:37:14,450
things that the government cannot do, can't legally

4706
02:37:14,450 --> 02:37:16,810
do, so they create an entity to use

4707
02:37:16,810 --> 02:37:20,290
government dollars, taxpayer dollars, to do something that

4708
02:37:20,290 --> 02:37:23,090
the federal government isn't allowed to do, to

4709
02:37:23,090 --> 02:37:26,510
do a shadow government operation that really has

4710
02:37:26,510 --> 02:37:28,950
been used recently to undermine our country's national

4711
02:37:28,950 --> 02:37:29,470
security.

4712
02:37:30,270 --> 02:37:30,690
Yeah.

4713
02:37:31,870 --> 02:37:34,170
This is, I mean, wow, how long have

4714
02:37:34,170 --> 02:37:36,450
we been talking about this since Obama days?

4715
02:37:36,450 --> 02:37:37,970
Since Obama days.

4716
02:37:38,570 --> 02:37:41,110
And of course, with the president, new president,

4717
02:37:41,170 --> 02:37:44,150
we have to set the doomsday clock again.

4718
02:37:45,050 --> 02:37:47,650
We've been tracking the doomsday clock for many

4719
02:37:47,650 --> 02:37:49,350
years, and of course I keep track of

4720
02:37:49,350 --> 02:37:49,670
these clips.

4721
02:37:49,750 --> 02:37:53,130
This is the doomsday clock in Trump 1.

4722
02:37:53,270 --> 02:37:55,770
The board concludes in no uncertain terms that

4723
02:37:55,770 --> 02:37:58,690
words matter in ensuring the safety and security

4724
02:37:58,690 --> 02:37:59,430
of our planet.

4725
02:37:59,670 --> 02:38:01,770
They are not the same as actions, but

4726
02:38:01,770 --> 02:38:04,070
they matter a lot, especially when the risks

4727
02:38:04,070 --> 02:38:07,130
of accident and miscalculation are so high.

4728
02:38:07,450 --> 02:38:09,870
The first has been the cavalier and reckless

4729
02:38:09,870 --> 02:38:13,070
language used across the globe, especially in the

4730
02:38:13,070 --> 02:38:15,830
United States during the presidential election and after,

4731
02:38:16,290 --> 02:38:18,370
around nuclear weapons and nuclear threats.

4732
02:38:18,830 --> 02:38:21,210
And the second is a growing disregard of

4733
02:38:21,210 --> 02:38:25,190
scientific expertise, expertise that is needed when it

4734
02:38:25,190 --> 02:38:28,370
comes to responding to pressing global challenges, including

4735
02:38:28,370 --> 02:38:29,230
climate change.

4736
02:38:29,450 --> 02:38:32,610
The board takes the unprecedented step, the first

4737
02:38:32,610 --> 02:38:34,410
time in our four-minute history of moving

4738
02:38:34,410 --> 02:38:37,270
the clock hand 30 seconds closer to midnight.

4739
02:38:37,750 --> 02:38:40,090
Today we move the clock a half minute

4740
02:38:40,090 --> 02:38:40,910
closer to midnight.

4741
02:38:41,330 --> 02:38:43,570
It is now two and a half minutes

4742
02:38:43,570 --> 02:38:44,330
to midnight.

4743
02:38:44,550 --> 02:38:47,130
So that was, sorry about that channel loss

4744
02:38:47,130 --> 02:38:48,730
there, two and a half minutes to midnight

4745
02:38:48,730 --> 02:38:49,850
in 2017.

4746
02:38:50,330 --> 02:38:52,790
We go back to the last time we

4747
02:38:52,790 --> 02:38:56,710
honestly pulled the clip, the doomsday clock in

4748
02:38:56,710 --> 02:38:57,790
2023.

4749
02:38:58,490 --> 02:39:00,810
Now they call it the doomsday clock and

4750
02:39:00,810 --> 02:39:03,490
it symbolizes just how close humanity is to

4751
02:39:03,490 --> 02:39:04,570
self-annihilation.

4752
02:39:05,170 --> 02:39:06,890
The closer the clock gets to midnight the

4753
02:39:06,890 --> 02:39:08,490
more danger we're all in.

4754
02:39:09,190 --> 02:39:11,390
Well the sad news is that a couple

4755
02:39:11,390 --> 02:39:13,830
of factors have resulted in that doomsday clock

4756
02:39:13,830 --> 02:39:17,410
advancing by 10 seconds, meaning we're now just

4757
02:39:17,410 --> 02:39:19,290
90 seconds to midnight.

4758
02:39:19,670 --> 02:39:21,730
So we went from two and a half

4759
02:39:21,730 --> 02:39:27,810
minutes through Trump and Biden somehow to 90

4760
02:39:27,810 --> 02:39:29,290
seconds in 2023.

4761
02:39:30,350 --> 02:39:33,210
And boy, here is today's announcement.

4762
02:39:33,530 --> 02:39:34,410
It's a shocker.

4763
02:39:34,570 --> 02:39:36,550
It is the determination of the Science and

4764
02:39:36,550 --> 02:39:38,830
Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic

4765
02:39:38,830 --> 02:39:42,650
Scientists that the world has not made sufficient

4766
02:39:42,650 --> 02:39:47,370
progress on existential risks threatening all of humanity.

4767
02:39:47,730 --> 02:39:50,310
We thus move the clock forward.

4768
02:39:50,950 --> 02:39:53,070
Any move towards midnight should be taken as

4769
02:39:53,070 --> 02:39:56,890
an indication of extreme danger and an unmistakable

4770
02:39:56,890 --> 02:39:57,310
warning.

4771
02:39:57,650 --> 02:40:00,150
This is the closest the world has ever

4772
02:40:00,150 --> 02:40:01,810
been to midnight.

4773
02:40:02,250 --> 02:40:03,790
So what do you think they moved it

4774
02:40:03,790 --> 02:40:03,950
to?

4775
02:40:04,030 --> 02:40:07,190
It was 90 seconds to midnight in 2023.

4776
02:40:07,410 --> 02:40:08,370
What do you think they moved it to?

4777
02:40:08,770 --> 02:40:10,250
I know what they moved it to but

4778
02:40:10,250 --> 02:40:12,570
the question in my mind is where are

4779
02:40:12,570 --> 02:40:16,530
all these intermediate steps between the 2017?

4780
02:40:17,110 --> 02:40:18,390
We must be missing clips.

4781
02:40:18,570 --> 02:40:19,310
No, no.

4782
02:40:19,370 --> 02:40:20,890
I don't think they've I don't think they

4783
02:40:20,890 --> 02:40:22,010
did it in those years.

4784
02:40:22,670 --> 02:40:23,290
During Biden?

4785
02:40:23,470 --> 02:40:23,730
No.

4786
02:40:23,730 --> 02:40:25,890
I mean, I looked at all our clips.

4787
02:40:25,890 --> 02:40:27,650
The thing is, the photo, I think it's

4788
02:40:27,650 --> 02:40:28,450
8 seconds now.

4789
02:40:28,510 --> 02:40:28,770
No, no.

4790
02:40:29,110 --> 02:40:32,310
They moved it one second to 89 seconds.

4791
02:40:32,510 --> 02:40:33,170
Oh, is it 89?

4792
02:40:33,370 --> 02:40:34,770
One second.

4793
02:40:35,970 --> 02:40:38,350
They show a picture of the clock and

4794
02:40:38,350 --> 02:40:42,330
these two scientists and these two scientists, especially

4795
02:40:42,330 --> 02:40:44,090
the guy on the right, if anyone can

4796
02:40:44,090 --> 02:40:44,870
find this photo.

4797
02:40:45,350 --> 02:40:48,510
He looks like just a depressed sad sack

4798
02:40:48,510 --> 02:40:49,210
character.

4799
02:40:50,030 --> 02:40:51,490
It's like you look at it and say

4800
02:40:51,490 --> 02:40:53,310
this guy, they're not going to make the

4801
02:40:53,310 --> 02:40:54,070
90 seconds.

4802
02:40:54,290 --> 02:40:54,910
I mean, this is pathetic.

4803
02:40:55,170 --> 02:40:58,410
What's so odd is that these guys are

4804
02:40:58,410 --> 02:41:03,790
the organization of nuclear or atomic scientists and

4805
02:41:03,790 --> 02:41:06,030
you heard in that 2017 clip oh, it's

4806
02:41:06,030 --> 02:41:07,130
about...

4807
02:41:07,130 --> 02:41:07,890
Climate change.

4808
02:41:08,050 --> 02:41:09,510
It's all about climate change.

4809
02:41:09,630 --> 02:41:10,250
Listen to the rest.

4810
02:41:10,610 --> 02:41:13,270
Arms control treaties are in tatters and there

4811
02:41:13,270 --> 02:41:15,950
are active conflicts involving nuclear powers.

4812
02:41:16,290 --> 02:41:18,330
The world's attempts to deal with climate change

4813
02:41:18,330 --> 02:41:19,350
remain inadequate.

4814
02:41:19,350 --> 02:41:22,210
In nuclear powers and climate change.

4815
02:41:22,350 --> 02:41:24,570
As most governments fail to enact the financing

4816
02:41:24,570 --> 02:41:28,210
and policy initiatives necessary to halt global warming.

4817
02:41:28,550 --> 02:41:29,150
Financing.

4818
02:41:29,310 --> 02:41:29,690
You bet.

4819
02:41:30,070 --> 02:41:33,330
Advances in an array of disruptive technologies, including

4820
02:41:33,330 --> 02:41:38,410
biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and in space have far

4821
02:41:38,410 --> 02:41:42,670
outpaced policy, regulation, and a thorough understanding of

4822
02:41:42,670 --> 02:41:43,430
their consequences.

4823
02:41:43,870 --> 02:41:46,850
All of these dangers are greatly exacerbated by

4824
02:41:46,850 --> 02:41:48,670
a potent threat multiplier.

4825
02:41:49,050 --> 02:41:51,070
Yeah, to take it one second closer to

4826
02:41:51,070 --> 02:41:51,370
midnight.

4827
02:41:51,570 --> 02:41:52,250
Please.

4828
02:41:52,830 --> 02:41:57,070
The spread of misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories

4829
02:41:57,070 --> 02:42:01,210
that degrade the communication ecosystem and increasingly blur

4830
02:42:01,210 --> 02:42:03,950
the line between truth and falsehood.

4831
02:42:04,190 --> 02:42:06,770
Yes, we've broken the messaging system.

4832
02:42:07,130 --> 02:42:09,910
The only effective response is for nations to

4833
02:42:09,910 --> 02:42:10,750
work together.

4834
02:42:11,550 --> 02:42:12,670
Ah, globalism.

4835
02:42:12,890 --> 02:42:15,270
Which is why it is so alarming that

4836
02:42:15,270 --> 02:42:19,310
President Trump has signaled his intention to withdraw

4837
02:42:19,310 --> 02:42:21,450
from the Paris Agreement.

4838
02:42:21,950 --> 02:42:25,070
In this crucial year for climate action, we

4839
02:42:25,070 --> 02:42:29,530
urge all other signatories to double down and

4840
02:42:29,530 --> 02:42:34,490
reaffirm their commitment to meeting the Paris goals.

4841
02:42:35,010 --> 02:42:37,990
So, that only lost us one second?

4842
02:42:38,730 --> 02:42:39,150
Eh.

4843
02:42:40,050 --> 02:42:41,970
It doesn't seem so bad.

4844
02:42:43,270 --> 02:42:45,730
I mean, considering it was two and a

4845
02:42:45,730 --> 02:42:47,770
half minutes in 2017.

4846
02:42:48,250 --> 02:42:48,850
Well, there's time.

4847
02:42:49,050 --> 02:42:52,950
You know, 2017 to today, there's a lot

4848
02:42:52,950 --> 02:42:53,350
more time.

4849
02:42:53,430 --> 02:42:55,770
I mean, this clock doesn't make any sense.

4850
02:42:56,110 --> 02:42:56,390
No.

4851
02:42:56,870 --> 02:42:57,210
No.

4852
02:42:57,370 --> 02:42:57,990
No kidding.

4853
02:42:59,310 --> 02:42:59,890
No kidding.

4854
02:43:00,950 --> 02:43:02,750
This is such a stupid thing.

4855
02:43:03,010 --> 02:43:03,130
Climate.

4856
02:43:03,610 --> 02:43:04,950
I'm so sick of it.

4857
02:43:05,070 --> 02:43:06,270
Is everyone else sick of this?

4858
02:43:06,350 --> 02:43:07,150
Is anyone sick?

4859
02:43:07,590 --> 02:43:07,690
No.

4860
02:43:08,610 --> 02:43:12,970
I think you've taken this optimistic attitude about

4861
02:43:12,970 --> 02:43:14,510
being sick of stuff.

4862
02:43:14,770 --> 02:43:14,870
Yeah.

4863
02:43:15,170 --> 02:43:16,370
And fed up.

4864
02:43:16,650 --> 02:43:18,030
And everybody knows.

4865
02:43:18,150 --> 02:43:18,950
And all this other stuff.

4866
02:43:19,150 --> 02:43:20,510
Which is, it's a joke.

4867
02:43:23,330 --> 02:43:23,850
What?

4868
02:43:23,930 --> 02:43:24,870
Climate change is a joke?

4869
02:43:25,050 --> 02:43:25,150
Or?

4870
02:43:25,270 --> 02:43:25,510
No.

4871
02:43:25,690 --> 02:43:25,830
No.

4872
02:43:25,950 --> 02:43:28,870
Your attitude, as if this is like everyone's

4873
02:43:28,870 --> 02:43:30,490
noticing, is not.

4874
02:43:30,730 --> 02:43:31,570
You're inaccurate.

4875
02:43:32,770 --> 02:43:34,030
Nobody is picking.

4876
02:43:34,250 --> 02:43:38,170
I mean, we're a small niche of people

4877
02:43:38,170 --> 02:43:39,070
that have a clue.

4878
02:43:39,290 --> 02:43:42,130
All the listeners, the producers of this show,

4879
02:43:42,290 --> 02:43:44,290
I'd say we have a clue, but they're

4880
02:43:44,290 --> 02:43:47,050
all susceptible to being pulled away from it

4881
02:43:47,050 --> 02:43:50,830
by the mainstream media, which is still lying

4882
02:43:50,830 --> 02:43:51,250
to them.

4883
02:43:51,250 --> 02:43:51,350
No.

4884
02:43:51,410 --> 02:43:53,010
I think the mainstream media is over.

4885
02:43:53,170 --> 02:43:53,550
It's done.

4886
02:43:53,650 --> 02:43:54,170
It's toast.

4887
02:43:54,330 --> 02:43:54,930
It's no more.

4888
02:43:54,930 --> 02:43:56,130
You can say that all you want.

4889
02:43:56,570 --> 02:43:57,150
I will.

4890
02:43:57,450 --> 02:43:59,130
And I want, and I will continue to

4891
02:43:59,130 --> 02:43:59,550
say it.

4892
02:43:59,930 --> 02:44:00,570
Yes, you will.

4893
02:44:01,170 --> 02:44:01,990
Because it's true.

4894
02:44:02,430 --> 02:44:03,270
It's Joe Rogan.

4895
02:44:04,410 --> 02:44:05,070
That's it.

4896
02:44:05,530 --> 02:44:06,130
It's all we need.

4897
02:44:06,790 --> 02:44:08,490
It's all Joe Rogan.

4898
02:44:08,630 --> 02:44:10,190
I'm going to shut down the whole podcasting

4899
02:44:10,190 --> 02:44:10,290
business.

4900
02:44:10,290 --> 02:44:11,030
I think you're going to be on the

4901
02:44:11,030 --> 02:44:12,270
Rogan show pretty soon.

4902
02:44:12,430 --> 02:44:14,210
Again, after a two-year hiatus.

4903
02:44:14,630 --> 02:44:16,070
I wasn't going to mention anything.

4904
02:44:16,970 --> 02:44:18,070
Oh, I'm sorry I did.

4905
02:44:18,270 --> 02:44:19,310
Was it going to be a surprise?

4906
02:44:20,010 --> 02:44:21,610
Yeah, I wanted everyone to be astounded.

4907
02:44:22,630 --> 02:44:24,750
The reason why I wasn't going to say

4908
02:44:24,750 --> 02:44:26,790
anything is because of the TJs.

4909
02:44:27,910 --> 02:44:28,690
What's that?

4910
02:44:28,970 --> 02:44:30,250
The Tell Joes.

4911
02:44:31,250 --> 02:44:31,730
Oh.

4912
02:44:33,130 --> 02:44:35,970
Hey man, tell Joe, tell Joe that Bitcoin

4913
02:44:35,970 --> 02:44:36,710
is the way to go.

4914
02:44:36,810 --> 02:44:38,690
Hey man, tell Joe he's got to get

4915
02:44:38,690 --> 02:44:39,270
in with Jesus.

4916
02:44:39,450 --> 02:44:41,930
Hey man, tell Joe, tell Joe, tell Joe.

4917
02:44:42,870 --> 02:44:44,250
I get a lot of that.

4918
02:44:45,650 --> 02:44:45,890
But thanks.

4919
02:44:46,090 --> 02:44:47,770
I'm going to send a message out to

4920
02:44:47,770 --> 02:44:48,050
everybody.

4921
02:44:48,190 --> 02:44:51,990
Do not send Adam any suggestions as to

4922
02:44:51,990 --> 02:44:53,330
what to tell Joe.

4923
02:44:53,530 --> 02:44:54,970
You want to tell Joe something?

4924
02:44:55,350 --> 02:44:57,950
He's got an ex-Twitter account.

4925
02:44:58,110 --> 02:44:59,190
He's got his name Joe Rogan.

4926
02:44:59,450 --> 02:45:01,810
Just send him a note right there on

4927
02:45:01,810 --> 02:45:02,250
the Twitter.

4928
02:45:03,130 --> 02:45:04,330
Tell him yourself.

4929
02:45:05,050 --> 02:45:05,830
Tell Joe.

4930
02:45:08,150 --> 02:45:09,470
It's really amazing.

4931
02:45:09,730 --> 02:45:10,730
People are excited.

4932
02:45:10,930 --> 02:45:11,630
I understand.

4933
02:45:11,850 --> 02:45:12,750
People are just excited.

4934
02:45:13,110 --> 02:45:15,490
One of our own is going on.

4935
02:45:16,850 --> 02:45:17,050
Yes.

4936
02:45:17,990 --> 02:45:19,390
It's been on before two or three times.

4937
02:45:19,610 --> 02:45:20,370
You're like a regular.

4938
02:45:20,570 --> 02:45:21,810
This will be my fifth time.

4939
02:45:23,150 --> 02:45:24,290
But it's been two years.

4940
02:45:24,370 --> 02:45:25,470
It's been a very long time.

4941
02:45:28,330 --> 02:45:29,470
So it's not really regular.

4942
02:45:30,770 --> 02:45:31,990
It's regular enough.

4943
02:45:31,990 --> 02:45:35,630
I keep getting bummed for Trump, Vance, Musk.

4944
02:45:38,550 --> 02:45:40,570
I'm sure there was no one available.

4945
02:45:41,310 --> 02:45:46,630
You are at best the reliable substitute.

4946
02:45:47,090 --> 02:45:50,250
Tony Randall, Regis Philbin.

4947
02:45:50,390 --> 02:45:50,690
Exactly.

4948
02:45:51,070 --> 02:45:51,810
I'm perfect.

4949
02:45:52,010 --> 02:45:52,790
The Joan Rivers.

4950
02:45:53,790 --> 02:45:54,650
There he comes.

4951
02:45:55,630 --> 02:45:56,530
Who didn't show up?

4952
02:45:56,690 --> 02:45:57,610
Oh God, call Adam.

4953
02:45:59,910 --> 02:46:03,110
As we I guess are in the season

4954
02:46:03,110 --> 02:46:03,750
of reveal.

4955
02:46:04,570 --> 02:46:07,470
The CIA has come out with some.

4956
02:46:07,890 --> 02:46:11,390
I didn't clip this.

4957
02:46:11,650 --> 02:46:15,110
I got it from CBS because we need

4958
02:46:15,110 --> 02:46:17,750
to take a medical approach to this story

4959
02:46:17,750 --> 02:46:19,430
with Dr. Celine Gounder.

4960
02:46:22,290 --> 02:46:24,650
Wasn't Dr. Celine the one who lost her

4961
02:46:24,650 --> 02:46:28,390
husband, who died during the sporting event, died

4962
02:46:28,390 --> 02:46:28,850
suddenly?

4963
02:46:29,110 --> 02:46:30,150
I think she is.

4964
02:46:31,490 --> 02:46:32,810
Well, we don't know.

4965
02:46:33,070 --> 02:46:35,910
China said today that it's quote extremely unlikely

4966
02:46:35,910 --> 02:46:37,690
that COVID-19 came from one of its

4967
02:46:37,690 --> 02:46:41,290
laboratories two days after the CIA said the

4968
02:46:41,290 --> 02:46:43,110
virus may have begun to spread after an

4969
02:46:43,110 --> 02:46:45,450
accidental leak from a research facility.

4970
02:46:46,030 --> 02:46:47,790
The agency's finding is not the result of

4971
02:46:47,790 --> 02:46:48,750
any new intelligence.

4972
02:46:48,870 --> 02:46:51,270
The report was done during the Biden administration

4973
02:46:51,270 --> 02:46:54,430
and then declassified and released Saturday on the

4974
02:46:54,430 --> 02:46:57,110
orders of new CIA director John Ratcliffe.

4975
02:46:57,210 --> 02:47:00,250
The CIA does however acknowledge it has quote

4976
02:47:00,250 --> 02:47:02,890
low confidence in its own conclusion.

4977
02:47:03,490 --> 02:47:05,230
Dr. Celine Gounder is here with me now

4978
02:47:05,230 --> 02:47:06,130
in Studio 57.

4979
02:47:06,350 --> 02:47:08,110
She's a CBS News medical contributor and editor

4980
02:47:08,110 --> 02:47:09,970
-at-large for public health at KFF Health

4981
02:47:09,970 --> 02:47:10,370
News.

4982
02:47:10,550 --> 02:47:10,850
Editor-at-large!

4983
02:47:10,970 --> 02:47:13,270
So why has the CIA shifted its stance

4984
02:47:13,270 --> 02:47:14,010
toward this?

4985
02:47:14,050 --> 02:47:16,590
And remind us what the other possibilities were.

4986
02:47:16,710 --> 02:47:18,570
I mean, I remember only a few years

4987
02:47:18,570 --> 02:47:20,210
ago, the wet market in Wuhan.

4988
02:47:20,450 --> 02:47:23,170
Why that maybe isn't the prevailing theory anymore

4989
02:47:23,170 --> 02:47:23,710
for the CIA?

4990
02:47:24,610 --> 02:47:26,510
She doesn't even remind us, you just did

4991
02:47:26,510 --> 02:47:26,690
it.

4992
02:47:27,010 --> 02:47:28,810
John Ratcliffe, who's the new head of the

4993
02:47:28,810 --> 02:47:31,410
CIA, has long thought that COVID was the

4994
02:47:31,410 --> 02:47:32,550
result of a lab leak.

4995
02:47:32,790 --> 02:47:34,150
Again, this is not the result of any

4996
02:47:34,150 --> 02:47:36,650
new intelligence per se, but really how people

4997
02:47:36,650 --> 02:47:40,050
synthesize, analyze, and weigh the existing evidence.

4998
02:47:40,550 --> 02:47:42,190
But I think it's also important to emphasize

4999
02:47:42,190 --> 02:47:44,710
that the confidence that the FDA, or excuse

5000
02:47:44,710 --> 02:47:47,830
me, the CIA has in this assessment is

5001
02:47:47,830 --> 02:47:48,650
low confidence.

5002
02:47:49,370 --> 02:47:51,870
And so I think, big picture, we still

5003
02:47:51,870 --> 02:47:53,690
really don't know and we may never really

5004
02:47:53,690 --> 02:47:55,530
know where COVID emerged from.

5005
02:47:55,930 --> 02:47:58,090
What kind of analysis is she giving?

5006
02:47:58,370 --> 02:47:58,750
What?

5007
02:47:59,110 --> 02:48:00,690
We may never know.

5008
02:48:01,210 --> 02:48:02,310
We may never know.

5009
02:48:02,370 --> 02:48:03,810
Well, let's talk about the theories.

5010
02:48:04,010 --> 02:48:05,530
What is the lab leak theory?

5011
02:48:05,630 --> 02:48:06,610
Again, just catch us up to speed.

5012
02:48:06,850 --> 02:48:08,390
The idea being that there may have been

5013
02:48:08,390 --> 02:48:10,850
an accident in a lab where scientists were

5014
02:48:10,850 --> 02:48:14,010
working on COVID or COVID-like viruses, perhaps

5015
02:48:14,010 --> 02:48:16,270
mutated at some point to become COVID.

5016
02:48:16,910 --> 02:48:18,550
And in fact, there are different theories about

5017
02:48:18,550 --> 02:48:19,590
even which lab.

5018
02:48:19,670 --> 02:48:21,190
You have the Department of Energy that thinks

5019
02:48:21,190 --> 02:48:23,090
it was from the Wuhan Center for Disease

5020
02:48:23,090 --> 02:48:23,610
Control.

5021
02:48:23,870 --> 02:48:26,870
You have the FBI, which has said with

5022
02:48:26,870 --> 02:48:29,150
moderate confidence that they think it comes from

5023
02:48:29,150 --> 02:48:31,550
the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

5024
02:48:31,790 --> 02:48:34,090
The CIA has not said which lab they

5025
02:48:34,090 --> 02:48:35,390
think it came from, but they think it

5026
02:48:35,390 --> 02:48:36,490
might have come from a lab.

5027
02:48:37,030 --> 02:48:38,390
So there's a lot of still, even within

5028
02:48:38,390 --> 02:48:41,470
the intelligence community, conflicting opinions about where this

5029
02:48:41,470 --> 02:48:41,790
came from.

5030
02:48:41,790 --> 02:48:43,590
And Wuhan being where the first cases were

5031
02:48:43,590 --> 02:48:44,090
discovered.

5032
02:48:44,330 --> 02:48:44,690
Exactly.

5033
02:48:44,950 --> 02:48:46,590
She's such a stooge, man.

5034
02:48:46,670 --> 02:48:48,150
What a stooge.

5035
02:48:48,150 --> 02:48:49,490
A stooge for who?

5036
02:48:49,710 --> 02:48:50,570
Well, let's listen.

5037
02:48:50,610 --> 02:48:51,770
What does it tell you that these agencies

5038
02:48:51,770 --> 02:48:52,390
don't even agree?

5039
02:48:53,270 --> 02:48:55,750
Well, you know, there's also disagreement with the

5040
02:48:55,750 --> 02:48:58,410
medical and public health and scientific community.

5041
02:48:58,530 --> 02:48:59,710
I think some of this is a result

5042
02:48:59,710 --> 02:49:02,150
of, we focus on different kinds of information.

5043
02:49:02,310 --> 02:49:05,010
So intelligence agents are going to focus on

5044
02:49:05,010 --> 02:49:08,170
what are emails and telephone calls that they

5045
02:49:08,170 --> 02:49:12,430
can intercept satellite imagery, those kinds of information.

5046
02:49:12,630 --> 02:49:15,310
Whereas we as scientists will look at the

5047
02:49:15,310 --> 02:49:17,650
genomics of the virus, how it's mutating, at

5048
02:49:17,650 --> 02:49:18,710
what pace over time.

5049
02:49:18,830 --> 02:49:21,310
Can you find a bat that has a

5050
02:49:21,310 --> 02:49:22,850
close ancestor of COVID?

5051
02:49:23,050 --> 02:49:25,390
Can you find direct evidence in the lab

5052
02:49:25,390 --> 02:49:28,110
that they were tinkering with the genetics of

5053
02:49:28,110 --> 02:49:29,150
similar viruses?

5054
02:49:29,590 --> 02:49:29,690
Yes.

5055
02:49:29,850 --> 02:49:31,930
So we just weigh these things slightly differently

5056
02:49:31,930 --> 02:49:33,650
and have a different perspective as a result.

5057
02:49:33,790 --> 02:49:36,270
So your question is, you know, stooge for

5058
02:49:36,270 --> 02:49:36,490
who?

5059
02:49:36,490 --> 02:49:39,030
Well, maybe this clip will answer.

5060
02:49:39,210 --> 02:49:39,890
It's the last one.

5061
02:49:40,050 --> 02:49:41,670
Does it make you worry that if we

5062
02:49:41,670 --> 02:49:42,470
may never know?

5063
02:49:42,590 --> 02:49:43,010
Are you worried?

5064
02:49:43,170 --> 02:49:44,410
How are we going to prevent the next

5065
02:49:44,410 --> 02:49:44,530
one?

5066
02:49:44,590 --> 02:49:45,670
I mean, yes, it is important to be

5067
02:49:45,670 --> 02:49:46,050
prepared.

5068
02:49:46,550 --> 02:49:48,390
We know that we need more PPE stocked

5069
02:49:48,390 --> 02:49:49,550
up just in case something happens.

5070
02:49:49,670 --> 02:49:51,890
But the ultimate goal for finding the origin

5071
02:49:51,890 --> 02:49:53,750
is to make sure we never have to

5072
02:49:53,750 --> 02:49:55,970
live in times where refrigerated morgues are parked

5073
02:49:55,970 --> 02:49:56,430
on the street.

5074
02:49:56,970 --> 02:49:57,530
Well, I think it depends.

5075
02:49:59,390 --> 02:50:01,170
Refrigerated morgues are parked on the street.

5076
02:50:01,930 --> 02:50:02,990
You remember that?

5077
02:50:03,430 --> 02:50:05,550
Oh, yeah, because yeah, well, and she's laughing

5078
02:50:05,550 --> 02:50:07,870
about it because she knows it's a scam.

5079
02:50:08,170 --> 02:50:08,270
Yes.

5080
02:50:08,470 --> 02:50:10,370
Finding the origin is to make sure we

5081
02:50:10,370 --> 02:50:12,570
never have to live in times where refrigerated

5082
02:50:12,570 --> 02:50:13,650
morgues are parked on the street.

5083
02:50:13,970 --> 02:50:14,830
Well, I think it depends.

5084
02:50:14,990 --> 02:50:16,790
I think for some people, it's important to

5085
02:50:16,790 --> 02:50:19,490
know how it emerged because they want retribution.

5086
02:50:19,950 --> 02:50:21,870
They want to maybe revenge.

5087
02:50:22,230 --> 02:50:23,570
And, you know, I think it depends on

5088
02:50:23,570 --> 02:50:24,130
your perspective.

5089
02:50:24,530 --> 02:50:24,870
Accountability.

5090
02:50:25,470 --> 02:50:25,570
Code.

5091
02:50:26,250 --> 02:50:27,290
Code for Trump.

5092
02:50:27,510 --> 02:50:27,830
Yes.

5093
02:50:27,990 --> 02:50:30,610
The scientific community, public health community, we just

5094
02:50:30,610 --> 02:50:32,030
want to prevent the next big one.

5095
02:50:32,030 --> 02:50:33,590
We're not really focused on the past.

5096
02:50:33,730 --> 02:50:35,050
We're more about, okay, how do we prevent

5097
02:50:35,050 --> 02:50:35,830
this in the future?

5098
02:50:36,410 --> 02:50:39,150
And I did have a conversation recently with

5099
02:50:39,150 --> 02:50:40,630
Admiral Brett Giroir around this.

5100
02:50:40,950 --> 02:50:43,990
As many may remember, Giroir was the COVID

5101
02:50:43,990 --> 02:50:46,690
testing czar under Trump in 2020, and we

5102
02:50:46,690 --> 02:50:48,650
talked a bit about how do you prevent

5103
02:50:48,650 --> 02:50:50,030
something like this from happening again?

5104
02:50:50,630 --> 02:50:53,990
Is wastewater that kind of early warning system

5105
02:50:53,990 --> 02:50:56,410
that might alert us that there has been

5106
02:50:56,410 --> 02:50:58,410
a lab leak from one of these BSL

5107
02:50:58,410 --> 02:50:58,750
-4 labs?

5108
02:50:58,750 --> 02:50:59,390
Yeah, absolutely.

5109
02:51:00,210 --> 02:51:06,130
Wastewater monitoring is an outstanding way to monitor

5110
02:51:06,130 --> 02:51:10,110
any geography at a given time for the

5111
02:51:10,110 --> 02:51:11,650
organisms of your choice.

5112
02:51:12,210 --> 02:51:13,990
And so it certainly could be used as

5113
02:51:13,990 --> 02:51:17,870
an early warning system for a lab leak

5114
02:51:17,870 --> 02:51:19,930
or a natural epidemic.

5115
02:51:20,370 --> 02:51:22,870
So we want to be preventing, whether it's

5116
02:51:22,870 --> 02:51:24,810
a lab leak or it's a wet market

5117
02:51:24,810 --> 02:51:26,590
in Wuhan, we want to be preventing these

5118
02:51:26,590 --> 02:51:27,590
things from happening again.

5119
02:51:28,230 --> 02:51:29,730
And what we talked about was could you

5120
02:51:29,730 --> 02:51:32,570
use wastewater testing, for example, right outside one

5121
02:51:32,570 --> 02:51:34,670
of these high-tech BSL-4 labs that

5122
02:51:34,670 --> 02:51:36,390
work with dangerous pathogens?

5123
02:51:36,850 --> 02:51:38,310
If you have a lab leak, you would

5124
02:51:38,310 --> 02:51:39,050
see it in the wastewater.

5125
02:51:39,250 --> 02:51:40,610
If you have a lab leak outside of

5126
02:51:40,610 --> 02:51:42,070
a wet market, you would see it in

5127
02:51:42,070 --> 02:51:42,390
the wastewater.

5128
02:51:42,590 --> 02:51:44,150
So can we be more targeted in that

5129
02:51:44,150 --> 02:51:44,370
way?

5130
02:51:44,610 --> 02:51:44,830
Interesting.

5131
02:51:45,670 --> 02:51:48,190
Just stick a dipstick in my septic and

5132
02:51:48,190 --> 02:51:49,810
let me know what's in my wastewater.

5133
02:51:50,550 --> 02:51:52,590
I should mention, by the way, we have

5134
02:51:53,530 --> 02:51:54,990
wet markets around here.

5135
02:51:55,050 --> 02:51:56,590
We have them in San Francisco, Chinatown.

5136
02:51:56,710 --> 02:51:58,730
Yeah, and they're all Trump voters now, I

5137
02:51:58,730 --> 02:51:58,970
hear.

5138
02:51:59,850 --> 02:52:00,550
It could be.

5139
02:52:00,750 --> 02:52:02,910
But the wet market, I want to explain

5140
02:52:02,910 --> 02:52:04,890
to people what a wet market is in

5141
02:52:04,890 --> 02:52:07,370
so far as Chinatown is concerned because there's

5142
02:52:07,370 --> 02:52:08,270
been a big scandal.

5143
02:52:08,610 --> 02:52:09,970
Oh, they're a wet market.

5144
02:52:10,810 --> 02:52:13,190
They have a wet market and it's like

5145
02:52:13,190 --> 02:52:16,090
ground zero, the next virus coming from San

5146
02:52:16,090 --> 02:52:17,050
Francisco wet market.

5147
02:52:17,510 --> 02:52:17,910
What is it?

5148
02:52:18,050 --> 02:52:18,710
Do you know what?

5149
02:52:18,810 --> 02:52:20,230
I'm going to explain what a wet market

5150
02:52:20,230 --> 02:52:21,850
is, but do you have any idea what

5151
02:52:21,850 --> 02:52:24,550
a technically a wet market is?

5152
02:52:24,690 --> 02:52:28,310
Yes, that's where you have greasy, grimy, dead,

5153
02:52:28,830 --> 02:52:31,630
pussy bats that people sell to other people

5154
02:52:31,630 --> 02:52:33,150
to eat in Chinatown.

5155
02:52:33,870 --> 02:52:34,070
Yeah.

5156
02:52:34,970 --> 02:52:37,290
So a wet market in Chinatown, which is

5157
02:52:37,290 --> 02:52:38,970
quite kind of a funny thing to visit,

5158
02:52:39,590 --> 02:52:44,050
is a it's like a store and inside

5159
02:52:44,050 --> 02:52:47,890
they have tanks and tanks and tanks of

5160
02:52:47,890 --> 02:52:51,130
live fish, live lobsters, live everything wet.

5161
02:52:51,130 --> 02:52:55,030
They're living beings and so you have this

5162
02:52:55,030 --> 02:52:57,350
whole place that's just filled with wet it's

5163
02:52:57,350 --> 02:52:57,810
wet.

5164
02:52:58,230 --> 02:53:00,170
Why is it called a wet market?

5165
02:53:00,270 --> 02:53:01,330
No one ever explains this.

5166
02:53:01,390 --> 02:53:01,990
Because of water.

5167
02:53:02,830 --> 02:53:05,250
Because of water and so you go in

5168
02:53:05,250 --> 02:53:06,950
there and the thing that happens, they're getting

5169
02:53:06,950 --> 02:53:08,430
bent out of shape about this, but I

5170
02:53:08,430 --> 02:53:10,710
remember when I was in college or even

5171
02:53:10,710 --> 02:53:13,090
in high school that this was going on.

5172
02:53:13,650 --> 02:53:16,410
You go into the wet market in Chinatown

5173
02:53:16,410 --> 02:53:19,850
and you go in and there's a big

5174
02:53:19,850 --> 02:53:22,610
giant tank full of fish.

5175
02:53:23,190 --> 02:53:24,570
Whatever fish it is.

5176
02:53:25,070 --> 02:53:26,050
Catfish, let's say.

5177
02:53:26,850 --> 02:53:27,870
And you see a fish and you say,

5178
02:53:27,950 --> 02:53:28,670
I want that fish.

5179
02:53:28,790 --> 02:53:31,750
And by the way, there is a the

5180
02:53:31,750 --> 02:53:34,410
equivalent of a similar wet market, only it's

5181
02:53:34,410 --> 02:53:37,150
not wet, of poultry that's run by a

5182
02:53:37,150 --> 02:53:39,290
Muslim group in Oakland and you do the

5183
02:53:39,290 --> 02:53:40,050
same thing there.

5184
02:53:40,590 --> 02:53:42,510
You see the live fish, you point at

5185
02:53:42,510 --> 02:53:45,130
it and they say, okay, and this is

5186
02:53:45,130 --> 02:53:46,850
how you get fresh fish.

5187
02:53:46,850 --> 02:53:48,970
They pull it out of the tank and

5188
02:53:48,970 --> 02:53:51,090
then club it in front of you as

5189
02:53:51,090 --> 02:53:52,950
the fish is flopping around, they're clubbing it

5190
02:53:52,950 --> 02:53:54,090
with a big club.

5191
02:53:54,530 --> 02:53:56,650
And the fish sometimes falls on the ground

5192
02:53:56,650 --> 02:54:00,130
and they're clubbing away and it's nightmarish.

5193
02:54:01,610 --> 02:54:04,770
And so that's a wet market.

5194
02:54:05,230 --> 02:54:08,210
Now they and you witness this, you get

5195
02:54:08,210 --> 02:54:09,710
to see these guys clubbing away.

5196
02:54:09,730 --> 02:54:12,130
And how hungry are you after that, for

5197
02:54:12,130 --> 02:54:14,850
eating this fish after you've seen it clubbed

5198
02:54:14,850 --> 02:54:15,950
like a baby seal?

5199
02:54:16,750 --> 02:54:18,790
This is the damnedest thing you've ever seen,

5200
02:54:18,930 --> 02:54:19,250
by the way.

5201
02:54:19,710 --> 02:54:21,870
Oh, this is cruelty, and so they made

5202
02:54:21,870 --> 02:54:23,450
a big fuss about the wet market.

5203
02:54:24,150 --> 02:54:25,450
And so I don't know how many of

5204
02:54:25,450 --> 02:54:27,310
these are left but in Oakland they've got

5205
02:54:27,310 --> 02:54:30,250
this Muslim thing, Butler and I both Oh,

5206
02:54:30,430 --> 02:54:31,970
you still see Butler?

5207
02:54:32,350 --> 02:54:34,030
No, I know, it just goes back because

5208
02:54:34,030 --> 02:54:37,610
Butler started using this place almost exclusively for

5209
02:54:37,610 --> 02:54:38,170
his poultry.

5210
02:54:38,590 --> 02:54:40,170
And it depends on the time of the

5211
02:54:40,170 --> 02:54:41,630
year, but they have turkeys, they got ducks,

5212
02:54:41,730 --> 02:54:43,090
they got geese, depends.

5213
02:54:43,430 --> 02:54:45,730
Sometimes they have geese, which is really excellent.

5214
02:54:46,710 --> 02:54:48,850
You go in there, there's all these cages,

5215
02:54:49,030 --> 02:54:50,850
tons of cages, all these animals, and you

5216
02:54:50,850 --> 02:54:54,850
point one out and some guy sticks his

5217
02:54:54,850 --> 02:54:56,250
hand in there, grabs him by the neck,

5218
02:54:56,430 --> 02:54:58,110
takes him, they don't club him in front

5219
02:54:58,110 --> 02:54:59,450
of you, they take him into the back,

5220
02:54:59,970 --> 02:55:02,390
chops their head off and dress him, and

5221
02:55:02,390 --> 02:55:05,010
you come out with a perfectly dressed you

5222
02:55:05,010 --> 02:55:07,490
know, goose or a duck or a chicken.

5223
02:55:08,290 --> 02:55:09,890
I'm still kind of hung up on the

5224
02:55:09,890 --> 02:55:10,930
clubbing of the fish.

5225
02:55:11,230 --> 02:55:12,670
Yeah, the clubbing of the fish.

5226
02:55:12,850 --> 02:55:14,850
It's quite the sight, believe me.

5227
02:55:14,910 --> 02:55:16,510
Can they just chop his head off or

5228
02:55:16,510 --> 02:55:16,930
shoot him?

5229
02:55:16,950 --> 02:55:18,230
No, they club him.

5230
02:55:18,470 --> 02:55:19,010
Shoot him.

5231
02:55:19,350 --> 02:55:20,410
They don't shoot him either.

5232
02:55:20,530 --> 02:55:21,950
No, they club him, and it's the damnedest

5233
02:55:21,950 --> 02:55:22,590
thing you've ever seen.

5234
02:55:22,590 --> 02:55:24,250
But what is the benefit to clubbing?

5235
02:55:24,530 --> 02:55:26,950
Does that, uh, does that, I mean...

5236
02:55:26,950 --> 02:55:28,010
It stuns them.

5237
02:55:28,130 --> 02:55:30,470
I don't know, it's cheap, low, best price.

5238
02:55:30,770 --> 02:55:32,250
I mean, it's the easiest way to do

5239
02:55:32,250 --> 02:55:32,930
it, I don't know.

5240
02:55:33,130 --> 02:55:35,450
The things I even learn on this show,

5241
02:55:35,590 --> 02:55:36,390
it is amazing.

5242
02:55:36,550 --> 02:55:37,150
I can't wait.

5243
02:55:37,230 --> 02:55:40,190
Hey, kids, guess where this fish was an

5244
02:55:40,190 --> 02:55:41,030
hour ago.

5245
02:55:41,330 --> 02:55:43,490
Swimming happily in this tank until I had

5246
02:55:43,490 --> 02:55:44,230
him clubbed.

5247
02:55:44,990 --> 02:55:45,270
Nice.

5248
02:55:46,630 --> 02:55:47,070
Yeah.

5249
02:55:47,070 --> 02:55:48,670
Um, just one more big farmer thing.

5250
02:55:48,730 --> 02:55:50,970
Did you see, this was making the rounds,

5251
02:55:51,070 --> 02:55:52,750
I thought it was probably important to play

5252
02:55:52,750 --> 02:55:56,690
this TikTok video from a singer named Avery?

5253
02:55:58,190 --> 02:55:59,490
Oh yes, poor Avery.

5254
02:55:59,670 --> 02:56:01,190
Yeah, with the pink hair.

5255
02:56:01,310 --> 02:56:02,550
Yeah, do we know Avery?

5256
02:56:02,750 --> 02:56:03,510
Do we know any person?

5257
02:56:03,510 --> 02:56:04,930
I've never heard of her, but she sure

5258
02:56:04,930 --> 02:56:06,110
is mournful.

5259
02:56:06,330 --> 02:56:07,910
Hold on, let me see Avery.

5260
02:56:08,430 --> 02:56:09,850
Music, one more second.

5261
02:56:09,970 --> 02:56:11,330
She's British, I believe.

5262
02:56:11,650 --> 02:56:12,850
No, I don't think so.

5263
02:56:13,130 --> 02:56:14,210
Well, I know she doesn't have a British

5264
02:56:14,210 --> 02:56:16,090
accent, but I think she's maybe popular.

5265
02:56:16,090 --> 02:56:18,470
Is her name Avery Anna?

5266
02:56:19,630 --> 02:56:21,450
Let me see, music.

5267
02:56:21,750 --> 02:56:23,890
Somebody in the troll room should know.

5268
02:56:23,890 --> 02:56:25,530
No, no one in the troll room knows

5269
02:56:25,530 --> 02:56:25,650
her.

5270
02:56:25,830 --> 02:56:27,850
Avery, let's see, Avery.

5271
02:56:29,850 --> 02:56:31,950
I can't even find something.

5272
02:56:32,090 --> 02:56:33,650
Anyway, Avery.

5273
02:56:34,290 --> 02:56:37,370
So here she is with a very, very

5274
02:56:37,370 --> 02:56:37,990
sad story.

5275
02:56:38,070 --> 02:56:39,490
I just left the doctor's office.

5276
02:56:40,130 --> 02:56:42,590
I went to get a checkup because I've

5277
02:56:42,590 --> 02:56:44,350
been off of Ozempic for two months now

5278
02:56:44,350 --> 02:56:46,690
and I just wanted to see if my

5279
02:56:46,690 --> 02:56:48,490
body was in better condition, if there were

5280
02:56:48,490 --> 02:56:50,230
any permanent damages.

5281
02:56:50,890 --> 02:56:52,890
Kind of in shock right now because I

5282
02:56:52,890 --> 02:56:58,050
wasn't expecting this, but I guess Ozempic can

5283
02:56:58,050 --> 02:57:01,710
cause bone density loss and I didn't think

5284
02:57:01,710 --> 02:57:04,450
that that would happen to me because I

5285
02:57:04,450 --> 02:57:07,750
was only on it for a year, but

5286
02:57:07,750 --> 02:57:09,250
I have significant bone loss.

5287
02:57:09,610 --> 02:57:14,090
I have osteoporosis and osteopenia.

5288
02:57:14,290 --> 02:57:16,070
I don't know, there's like several of them

5289
02:57:16,070 --> 02:57:16,610
that I have.

5290
02:57:17,110 --> 02:57:21,210
I wasn't expecting that, but that's what happens

5291
02:57:21,210 --> 02:57:26,630
if you use Ozempic for weight loss and

5292
02:57:26,630 --> 02:57:27,570
you lose too much weight.

5293
02:57:28,270 --> 02:57:29,150
This is horrible.

5294
02:57:29,310 --> 02:57:32,030
I have a song by Avery.

5295
02:57:32,270 --> 02:57:33,450
Let's see, let's get to the hook.

5296
02:57:35,830 --> 02:57:36,090
Okay.

5297
02:57:36,370 --> 02:57:37,490
No, don't need to hear that.

5298
02:57:38,410 --> 02:57:39,570
That's very sad.

5299
02:57:39,930 --> 02:57:41,150
Don't talk about that.

5300
02:57:43,440 --> 02:57:48,600
That was the only Ozempic information I got

5301
02:57:48,600 --> 02:57:50,060
this week and it was from Avery and

5302
02:57:50,060 --> 02:57:51,220
that was just very sad.

5303
02:57:51,780 --> 02:57:53,120
I think it's probably been taken down.

5304
02:57:53,980 --> 02:57:55,800
President Trump announced the Iron Dome.

5305
02:57:55,900 --> 02:57:56,980
Very excited about that.

5306
02:57:57,080 --> 02:57:57,660
Very excited.

5307
02:57:57,760 --> 02:57:58,500
We're going to be safe.

5308
02:57:59,520 --> 02:58:02,680
We're going to be very safe from hypersonic

5309
02:58:02,680 --> 02:58:04,860
missiles, anything that Russia can throw at us.

5310
02:58:05,080 --> 02:58:06,740
Too bad for those Europeans, though.

5311
02:58:08,760 --> 02:58:09,800
They're not...

5312
02:58:09,800 --> 02:58:13,320
Mark was out trying to get people to

5313
02:58:13,320 --> 02:58:15,320
pony up again, spreading fear.

5314
02:58:15,460 --> 02:58:16,600
Mr. NATO, Rutte.

5315
02:58:16,820 --> 02:58:20,080
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned Russia was

5316
02:58:20,080 --> 02:58:23,300
trying to destabilize countries in the alliance as

5317
02:58:23,300 --> 02:58:25,740
he called on members to increase defense spending.

5318
02:58:26,180 --> 02:58:28,840
Rutte spoke at a joint briefing alongside Portuguese

5319
02:58:28,840 --> 02:58:32,140
Prime Minister Luis Montenegro as he visited Lisbon

5320
02:58:32,140 --> 02:58:32,760
on Monday.

5321
02:58:33,280 --> 02:58:35,900
We also know that the goal of 2

5322
02:58:35,900 --> 02:58:38,920
% now set a decade ago will not

5323
02:58:38,920 --> 02:58:41,120
be enough to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

5324
02:58:41,380 --> 02:58:41,720
Not enough.

5325
02:58:41,840 --> 02:58:44,660
The threat from Russia may seem distant, but

5326
02:58:44,660 --> 02:58:46,540
let me assure you, it is not.

5327
02:58:47,060 --> 02:58:50,420
Russian ships and long-range bombers menace the

5328
02:58:50,420 --> 02:58:51,160
Portuguese coast.

5329
02:58:51,780 --> 02:58:55,820
Portugal's vital undersea infrastructure is squarely in Russia's

5330
02:58:55,820 --> 02:58:56,060
sights.

5331
02:58:56,540 --> 02:58:59,840
During the press conference, Rutte also addressed recent

5332
02:58:59,840 --> 02:59:02,640
cable ruptures in the Baltic Sea, saying NATO

5333
02:59:02,640 --> 02:59:05,700
was operating alongside allies to enable a fast

5334
02:59:05,700 --> 02:59:07,440
and coordinated response.

5335
02:59:07,640 --> 02:59:08,320
Yeah, OK.

5336
02:59:08,520 --> 02:59:08,920
Bombers.

5337
02:59:09,080 --> 02:59:10,340
The bombers, they've got bombers.

5338
02:59:10,560 --> 02:59:12,060
They're getting your cables.

5339
02:59:13,240 --> 02:59:14,380
So very, very scary.

5340
02:59:15,400 --> 02:59:16,720
It is so scary.

5341
02:59:16,920 --> 02:59:17,940
So scary, so scary.

5342
02:59:18,180 --> 02:59:20,000
Do you have any thoughts on the Federal

5343
02:59:20,000 --> 02:59:22,500
Reserve not cutting rates while the European Central

5344
02:59:22,500 --> 02:59:24,920
Bank did cut rates by 20 or 25

5345
02:59:24,920 --> 02:59:25,960
basis points?

5346
02:59:27,720 --> 02:59:30,500
The market didn't like it, but no, I

5347
02:59:30,500 --> 02:59:31,360
have no thoughts on it.

5348
02:59:31,620 --> 02:59:34,360
It should raise rates the way that the

5349
02:59:34,360 --> 02:59:35,540
economy's doing so well.

5350
02:59:35,660 --> 02:59:37,460
Well, that's not what the President wants.

5351
02:59:37,620 --> 02:59:38,200
He's mad.

5352
02:59:38,220 --> 02:59:39,980
No, of course not, because you jack up

5353
02:59:39,980 --> 02:59:41,420
everything if you lower the rates.

5354
02:59:41,760 --> 02:59:42,320
He's mad.

5355
02:59:43,100 --> 02:59:43,500
Overheat.

5356
02:59:43,640 --> 02:59:45,440
No, no, he wants the rates to go

5357
02:59:45,440 --> 02:59:45,880
down.

5358
02:59:46,320 --> 02:59:47,800
Yeah, I know he does, because it makes

5359
02:59:47,800 --> 02:59:48,500
him look good.

5360
02:59:48,820 --> 02:59:49,380
Oh, OK.

5361
02:59:51,000 --> 02:59:51,780
There's that.

5362
02:59:53,120 --> 02:59:55,280
I have the Trump legal update, but that's

5363
02:59:55,280 --> 02:59:55,980
kind of boring.

5364
02:59:56,600 --> 03:00:00,500
I do have Robert Menendez, I guess, was

5365
03:00:00,500 --> 03:00:01,560
thrown in the slammer.

5366
03:00:01,640 --> 03:00:02,380
Eleven years.

5367
03:00:03,200 --> 03:00:03,920
Eleven years.

5368
03:00:04,360 --> 03:00:05,260
That guy was so corrupt.

5369
03:00:06,060 --> 03:00:08,280
But I do have an idiot on TikTok,

5370
03:00:08,660 --> 03:00:10,020
which I think is the book I want

5371
03:00:10,020 --> 03:00:10,120
to play.

5372
03:00:10,120 --> 03:00:10,900
I was looking for a way to get

5373
03:00:10,900 --> 03:00:11,340
out of here.

5374
03:00:11,480 --> 03:00:11,720
OK.

5375
03:00:11,900 --> 03:00:13,040
Idiot on TikTok.

5376
03:00:13,760 --> 03:00:14,500
TikTok idiot.

5377
03:00:14,760 --> 03:00:15,340
Talk idiot.

5378
03:00:15,680 --> 03:00:17,480
I think it's really funny that I have

5379
03:00:17,480 --> 03:00:22,520
to explain political vendettas and retribution to you,

5380
03:00:22,620 --> 03:00:25,060
because it's all I've been hearing about for

5381
03:00:25,060 --> 03:00:28,400
the last eight years, is how your guy,

5382
03:00:28,660 --> 03:00:30,660
everyone else has it out for him.

5383
03:00:31,400 --> 03:00:36,940
But unlike your guy, who thinks that everybody

5384
03:00:36,940 --> 03:00:41,740
has it out for him, he absolutely has

5385
03:00:41,740 --> 03:00:42,920
it out for other people.

5386
03:00:43,100 --> 03:00:44,500
We're going to have to pay double for

5387
03:00:44,500 --> 03:00:47,100
coffee, because he's pissed at the president of

5388
03:00:47,100 --> 03:00:49,880
Colombia because he didn't want to take Mexicans

5389
03:00:49,880 --> 03:00:51,880
that he wanted to deport to Colombia because

5390
03:00:51,880 --> 03:00:52,840
they were brown.

5391
03:00:53,480 --> 03:00:56,240
Your guy specializes in vendettas.

5392
03:00:56,680 --> 03:01:01,220
So yes, Biden pardoned his loved ones because

5393
03:01:01,220 --> 03:01:02,780
he doesn't want to see them drugged through

5394
03:01:02,780 --> 03:01:04,080
the mud by a sociopath.

5395
03:01:05,260 --> 03:01:05,680
Dad.

5396
03:01:06,640 --> 03:01:09,080
Man, I'm surprised you didn't get the Selena

5397
03:01:09,080 --> 03:01:09,560
Gomez.

5398
03:01:11,480 --> 03:01:12,780
I don't understand her.

5399
03:01:12,860 --> 03:01:14,620
She's crying and bawling over what?

5400
03:01:15,280 --> 03:01:15,980
Her people.

5401
03:01:18,060 --> 03:01:18,900
She's Italian.

5402
03:01:21,280 --> 03:01:22,280
She's Italian?

5403
03:01:22,800 --> 03:01:25,140
Her mom's Italian and her dad, I think,

5404
03:01:25,280 --> 03:01:25,460
is Mexican.

5405
03:01:25,460 --> 03:01:27,020
She's from Texas.

5406
03:01:27,420 --> 03:01:28,820
She's from Texas, yeah.

5407
03:01:30,780 --> 03:01:33,600
She got nothing but grief.

5408
03:01:34,180 --> 03:01:35,420
She had to take it down.

5409
03:01:35,500 --> 03:01:36,580
She took the post down.

5410
03:01:36,920 --> 03:01:39,240
And she's going to eat it for that.

5411
03:01:39,320 --> 03:01:40,320
She's a billionaire.

5412
03:01:40,940 --> 03:01:41,780
She's on the list.

5413
03:01:42,000 --> 03:01:43,660
Do you really think she's a billionaire?

5414
03:01:44,040 --> 03:01:44,620
No, I don't.

5415
03:01:44,820 --> 03:01:45,920
But she's on the list.

5416
03:01:46,500 --> 03:01:49,080
She's not starving to death, that's for sure.

5417
03:02:01,920 --> 03:02:02,440
Perfect.

5418
03:02:04,460 --> 03:02:06,080
Guess who's also not a billionaire?

03:02:07,660 --> 03:02:10,040
However, we do have people who like what

5421
03:02:10,040 --> 03:02:10,400
we do.

5422
03:02:10,580 --> 03:02:12,200
They like the value they get from the

5423
03:02:12,200 --> 03:02:14,260
show, and they like sending value back to

5424
03:02:14,260 --> 03:02:15,520
us, and we appreciate it.

5425
03:02:15,800 --> 03:02:20,060

Our good old Harry.

5434
03:02:46,180 --> 03:02:47,240
He's been around for a while.

Flower Mound's a burial site.

5446
03:03:15,680 --> 03:03:17,120
I didn't know this.

5447
03:03:17,580 --> 03:03:18,920
Actually, I did know.

5448
03:03:19,000 --> 03:03:19,880
I think I've seen it.

5449
03:03:20,800 --> 03:03:21,700
Yeah, it's a big mound.

5450
03:03:22,640 --> 03:03:23,360
It's like, what's that?

It's a burial site.

He's gotta be moved up from Archduke by

03:04:51,680 --> 03:04:52,040
now.

5497
03:04:52,700 --> 03:04:54,820
What is above Archduke?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yes, Grand Duke.

5501
03:04:58,620 --> 03:05:00,180
Then we'd have to have a jingle.

5502
03:05:01,920 --> 03:05:03,420
Someone's gonna have to do the math on

5503
03:05:03,420 --> 03:05:03,720
this.

5504
03:05:04,420 --> 03:05:07,600
Jorge Alvarez in Ponte Verde Beach, Florida.

That is sometimes pronounced George.

5507
03:05:13,100 --> 03:05:13,700

Which is a chip.

5511
03:05:24,220 --> 03:05:26,100
I'm the only one who can say it.

5512
03:05:26,680 --> 03:05:29,200
Nobody wants to donate 6502.

5513
03:05:29,260 --> 03:05:30,480
No one cares about your chip.

5514
03:05:31,320 --> 03:05:33,720

6354.

5521
03:05:48,800 --> 03:05:50,700
33, I'm gonna read the note then.

5522
03:05:50,700 --> 03:05:52,340
33 is the magic number.

5523
03:05:52,420 --> 03:05:53,980
My smoking hot husband and I just bought

5524
03:05:53,980 --> 03:05:56,580
a house and I based the house purchase

5525
03:05:56,580 --> 03:05:58,580
price on the 33 theory and it worked.

5526
03:06:00,480 --> 03:06:01,660
Well, here it is.

5527
03:06:01,840 --> 03:06:02,740
Keep reading.

5528
03:06:03,620 --> 03:06:05,820
Here's the 5333 pounds.

5529
03:06:07,480 --> 03:06:10,060
No, she says, I promised to myself that

5530
03:06:10,060 --> 03:06:11,800
if we bought the house, I would donate.

5531
03:06:13,440 --> 03:06:14,860
Not quite sure how that works.

5532
03:06:14,860 --> 03:06:15,740
Yeah, she wrote that right there.

5533
03:06:15,800 --> 03:06:16,380
I left it out.

5534
03:06:17,220 --> 03:06:18,300
She's in Scotland.

5535
03:06:18,300 --> 03:06:19,100
Scotland.

5536
03:06:19,100 --> 03:06:20,520

Says, it's noteworthy how many dudes named Ben

03:06:59,670 --> 03:07:01,130
attend these events.

5554
03:07:01,410 --> 03:07:02,150
Of course.

03:07:06,690 --> 03:07:09,270
that's near Spooksville.

5556
03:07:10,410 --> 03:07:10,990

03:07:40,890 --> 03:07:42,890
No, she loves the newsletter.

5570
03:07:43,230 --> 03:07:44,770
She loves the newsletter.

5571
03:07:45,170 --> 03:07:48,110
And she says it brings your readers joy.

5572
03:07:49,370 --> 03:07:51,170
Tom, it's because of the memes.

5573
03:07:53,030 --> 03:07:54,950
Which, another thing Adam hates.

5574
03:07:55,270 --> 03:07:56,610
I don't hate them.

5575
03:07:56,710 --> 03:07:58,730
I hate bad, oh, okay, fine.

You're right, I hate them all.

5578
03:08:02,530 --> 03:08:03,390
There you go.

5579
03:08:03,470 --> 03:08:04,930
Now you're being honest with yourself.

5580
03:08:05,890 --> 03:08:06,730
Look it up.

This guy's been with us forever.

03:08:24,910 --> 03:08:25,190
No.

5592
03:08:26,090 --> 03:08:26,750
Richard, I think.

5593
03:08:26,910 --> 03:08:27,630
Oh no, yeah, Richard.

5594
03:08:28,290 --> 03:08:29,170
Andrew Richard?

5595
03:08:29,370 --> 03:08:29,710
I'm not sure.

5596
03:08:29,710 --> 03:08:30,150
He might be.

5597
03:08:32,610 --> 03:08:35,250
Aaron Weisgerber in Bend, Oregon.

5598
03:08:35,390 --> 03:08:37,370
John Taylor in Florissant, Colorado.

5599
03:08:37,670 --> 03:08:41,330
Bobby Bowe in Bluegrass, Iowa.

5600
03:08:41,950 --> 03:08:44,270
Leif Thompson in Meridian, Idaho.

5601
03:08:45,330 --> 03:08:49,450
David Asari in West Hollywood, California.

5602
03:08:50,550 --> 03:08:54,550
Josh Kwa in St. Catherine's, Ontario, Canada.

5603
03:08:55,530 --> 03:08:57,450
Do you see if there's anything in there

5604
03:08:57,450 --> 03:08:57,610
we need?

5605
03:08:57,610 --> 03:08:59,270
Yeah, I'll read it because it was a

5606
03:08:59,270 --> 03:09:00,730
$75 Canadian.

5607
03:09:01,070 --> 03:09:02,370
Listen to that math, huh?

5608
03:09:03,150 --> 03:09:04,970
I'm only able to send you a small

5609
03:09:04,970 --> 03:09:05,410
donation.

5610
03:09:05,530 --> 03:09:06,790
I'm hoping you guys will wish my brother

5611
03:09:06,790 --> 03:09:09,010
Nicholas a happy 24th birthday at some point

5612
03:09:09,010 --> 03:09:10,590
on the Thursday, January 30 show.

5613
03:09:10,850 --> 03:09:12,310
To say he's been an avid fan of

5614
03:09:12,310 --> 03:09:13,570
yours is an understatement.

5615
03:09:13,650 --> 03:09:16,210
He's been a dedicated listener, rarely missing an

5616
03:09:16,210 --> 03:09:17,830
episode since the early COVID days.

5617
03:09:18,070 --> 03:09:19,690
He got me into the show several months

5618
03:09:19,690 --> 03:09:21,710
ago, and I myself become a huge fan.

5619
03:09:23,490 --> 03:09:24,070
Excuse me.

5620
03:09:24,130 --> 03:09:25,070
I should have hit the cough button.

5621
03:09:25,630 --> 03:09:27,030
He's the best brother a guy can ask

5622
03:09:27,030 --> 03:09:28,430
for, even though he's younger by age.

5623
03:09:28,490 --> 03:09:29,750
I find myself looking up to him often.

5624
03:09:29,890 --> 03:09:31,670
Keep on rocking our socks off twice a

5625
03:09:31,670 --> 03:09:33,450
week, Adam and John, and happy birthday, Nick.

5626
03:09:37,400 --> 03:09:40,720
Onward with Joshua Johnson in Omaha, Nebraska, and

5627
03:09:40,720 --> 03:09:43,200
last on our list is good old Dame

5628
03:09:43,200 --> 03:09:43,580
Rita.

5629
03:09:43,700 --> 03:09:47,180
She's always there from Sparks just outside of

5630
03:09:47,180 --> 03:09:47,820
Reno, Nevada.

5631
03:09:48,620 --> 03:09:51,960
$50, and that concludes our list of producers,

5632
03:09:52,120 --> 03:09:54,820
well-wishers, and people we have to thank

5633
03:09:54,820 --> 03:09:57,760
for show 1734 because they've done a good

5634
03:09:57,760 --> 03:09:58,920
job of keeping us going.

5635
03:09:59,140 --> 03:09:59,680
Yes, they have.

5636
03:09:59,760 --> 03:10:00,960
We appreciate you so much.

5637
03:10:01,020 --> 03:10:02,960
Thanks to everybody who came in under $50

5638
03:10:02,960 --> 03:10:05,280
for reasons of anonymity, because we will not

5639
03:10:05,280 --> 03:10:07,380
read any of those, and several of those,

5640
03:10:07,460 --> 03:10:08,840
of course, are sustaining donations.

5641
03:10:09,020 --> 03:10:11,040
Consider doing that no matter what you donate.

5642
03:10:11,460 --> 03:10:13,440
Any amount, any frequency, it's all up to

5643
03:10:13,440 --> 03:10:13,540
you.

5644
03:10:13,620 --> 03:10:14,900
It is all value for value.

5645
03:10:15,580 --> 03:10:20,740
NoahJennerDonations.com It's your birthday, birthday of Noah

5646
03:10:20,740 --> 03:10:23,800
Jenner Sean Dietrich turned 33 on the 28th.

5647
03:10:23,800 --> 03:10:24,920
We say happy birthday to him.

5648
03:10:25,300 --> 03:10:28,260
Renegade6 wishes sparkles of chaos a happy one

5649
03:10:28,260 --> 03:10:29,020
for today.

5650
03:10:29,420 --> 03:10:32,860
Kurt Binney is celebrating today, and my buddy

5651
03:10:32,860 --> 03:10:35,440
Jimmy Pruitt here in Fredericksburg, also celebrating his

5652
03:10:35,440 --> 03:10:35,760
birthday.

5653
03:10:36,180 --> 03:10:38,460
Sir Scott and Dame Elizabeth wish their brother

5654
03:10:38,460 --> 03:10:40,640
Ken a happy one, turned 61 on the

5655
03:10:40,640 --> 03:10:41,000
30th.

5656
03:10:41,200 --> 03:10:44,360
Happy birthday to Dr. Ken and Sammy celebrating

5657
03:10:44,360 --> 03:10:47,500
their 60th anniversary today, and they never had

5658
03:10:47,500 --> 03:10:47,960
a fight.

5659
03:10:48,340 --> 03:10:51,160
And finally, Joshua Kwa wishes his brother Nicholas

5660
03:10:51,160 --> 03:10:51,900
a happy birthday.

5661
03:10:52,020 --> 03:10:54,220
He turns 24 today as well.

5662
03:10:54,300 --> 03:10:56,080
Happy birthday for everybody here at the Best

5663
03:10:56,080 --> 03:10:57,620
Podcast in the Universe.

5664
03:10:57,620 --> 03:10:59,440
It's your birthday, yeah!

5665
03:10:59,800 --> 03:11:01,400
Two knights to bring up on stage, on

5666
03:11:01,400 --> 03:11:03,580
the podium here, so I will bring out

5667
03:11:03,580 --> 03:11:06,200
my double-knighting blade, if you've got something.

5668
03:11:06,340 --> 03:11:06,540
Here you go.

5669
03:11:06,740 --> 03:11:07,500
Very nice one.

5670
03:11:08,220 --> 03:11:11,140
That's the Mother of Pearl handle.

5671
03:11:11,300 --> 03:11:11,840
I like that.

5672
03:11:12,340 --> 03:11:14,420
Aaron Cole and J.D. step on up.

5673
03:11:14,520 --> 03:11:15,580
Both of you are about to come knight

5674
03:11:15,580 --> 03:11:16,760
to the Noah Jenner Roundtable.

5675
03:11:16,900 --> 03:11:18,420
I am very proud to pronounce the K

5676
03:11:18,420 --> 03:11:21,400
.D. as Sir Aaron Cole of the Strawberry

5677
03:11:21,400 --> 03:11:24,820
Fog and Sarcastic the Nomad.

5678
03:11:24,920 --> 03:11:27,080
You asked for specifics at the Roundtable.

5679
03:11:27,200 --> 03:11:27,980
I have them here for you.

5680
03:11:28,080 --> 03:11:29,100
Brisket and some bourbon.

5681
03:11:29,520 --> 03:11:31,420
Tam-do 12-year-old and lamb chops.

5682
03:11:31,520 --> 03:11:32,640
In case you want it, we've got hookers

5683
03:11:32,640 --> 03:11:34,060
and blow-ring boys and Chardonnay.

5684
03:11:34,180 --> 03:11:36,080
We also have cowgirls and coffin varnished.

5685
03:11:36,660 --> 03:11:39,060
Rubenesque women and rosé, geishas and saké, vodka,

5686
03:11:39,160 --> 03:11:41,340
vanilla, bonhits and bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts,

5687
03:11:41,520 --> 03:11:42,680
ginger ale and gerbils.

5688
03:11:42,760 --> 03:11:43,320
This is a favorite.

5689
03:11:43,780 --> 03:11:47,380
Best milk and pabulum or the mutton and

5690
03:11:47,380 --> 03:11:47,700
the meat.

5691
03:11:47,760 --> 03:11:49,780
It's always here for all of our knights.

5692
03:11:49,900 --> 03:11:51,460
Thank you very much for supporting us.

5693
03:11:51,580 --> 03:11:52,740
The amount's aggregate.

5694
03:11:53,240 --> 03:11:54,560
Doesn't matter how long it takes you.

5695
03:11:54,760 --> 03:11:56,100
Once you get there, you get that beautiful

5696
03:11:56,100 --> 03:11:56,340
ring.

5697
03:11:56,440 --> 03:11:58,540
Go to NoAgendaRings.com You can see them

5698
03:11:58,540 --> 03:11:59,140
for yourself.

5699
03:11:59,740 --> 03:12:01,820
And please send us your ring size, the

5700
03:12:01,820 --> 03:12:03,280
address where you want it sent to.

5701
03:12:03,620 --> 03:12:05,320
And of course that always comes with wax,

5702
03:12:05,540 --> 03:12:07,100
which you can use the rings, the Signet

5703
03:12:07,100 --> 03:12:09,600
ring, to seal your important correspondence and a

5704
03:12:09,600 --> 03:12:10,700
certificate of authenticity.

5705
03:12:10,980 --> 03:12:13,680
Once again, welcome to the Roundtable, our two

5706
03:12:13,680 --> 03:12:14,800
brand new knights.

5707
03:12:15,120 --> 03:12:17,780
No Agenda Meetup!

5708
03:12:22,520 --> 03:12:23,260
That's right.

5709
03:12:23,380 --> 03:12:24,380
Connection is protection.

5710
03:12:24,600 --> 03:12:26,160
If you go with an attitude of gratitude,

5711
03:12:26,160 --> 03:12:28,080
you will find out that the people at

5712
03:12:28,080 --> 03:12:30,200
the meetups are your first responders in an

5713
03:12:30,200 --> 03:12:30,600
emergency.

5714
03:12:30,780 --> 03:12:33,120
They are producer-organized and you can find

5715
03:12:33,120 --> 03:12:36,420
all of them at NoAgendaMeetups.com This is

5716
03:12:36,420 --> 03:12:38,980
where we see that today the North Georgia

5717
03:12:38,980 --> 03:12:41,000
Monthly Meetup takes place at 6 o'clock

5718
03:12:41,000 --> 03:12:43,800

5719
03:12:44,620 --> 03:12:46,620

5722
03:12:48,880 --> 03:12:49,460
That's a good one.

5723
03:12:49,800 --> 03:12:50,800
And we do want reports.

5724
03:12:50,920 --> 03:12:52,420
We didn't get any reports for today's show,

5725
03:12:52,520 --> 03:12:53,500
which is kind of disappointing.

5726
03:12:53,920 --> 03:12:56,340
Then on Saturday, oh, it's the Get John

5727
03:12:56,340 --> 03:12:58,740

Mallard, Albany, California.

5730
03:13:04,260 --> 03:13:05,780
It's a home game for you, John.

5731
03:13:05,860 --> 03:13:07,880
Everybody will be expecting you to show up.

5732
03:13:08,300 --> 03:13:08,940
Oh yeah.

5733
03:13:09,060 --> 03:13:10,000
And bring your kids.

5734
03:13:11,100 --> 03:13:11,980
They may or may not.

5735
03:13:12,080 --> 03:13:13,760
They're probably still going to be sick.

5736
03:13:14,400 --> 03:13:14,680
No.

5737
03:13:14,680 --> 03:13:14,780
No.

5738
03:13:15,700 --> 03:13:16,880
Yeah, that's no good.

5739
03:13:17,040 --> 03:13:17,600
Is Mimi coming?

5740
03:13:17,640 --> 03:13:18,520
No, Mimi's not there.

5741
03:13:18,720 --> 03:13:20,720
She's up in North right now.

5742
03:13:21,220 --> 03:13:23,180
Also on Saturday, in case you're not in

5743
03:13:23,180 --> 03:13:26,780
Northern Silicon Valley, Dayton, Ohio, search for the

5744
03:13:26,780 --> 03:13:29,880
actual tinfoil Meetup 5.30 in Dublin Pub,

5745
03:13:30,040 --> 03:13:30,720
Dayton, Ohio.

5746
03:13:31,220 --> 03:13:33,480
And on our next show day, Sunday, Too

5747
03:13:33,480 --> 03:13:34,740
Many Kegs!

5748
03:13:34,800 --> 03:13:35,960
I see what you did there.

5749
03:13:36,040 --> 03:13:39,180
3.30 at McGillin's Old Ale House in

5750
03:13:39,180 --> 03:13:40,700
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

5751
03:13:41,160 --> 03:13:42,860
Organized by your local 76.

5752
03:13:42,860 --> 03:13:44,500
These are just a few of the meetups

5753
03:13:44,500 --> 03:13:46,460
that are available at knowagendameetups.com.

5754
03:13:46,520 --> 03:13:47,800
I'm looking down the list if we have

5755
03:13:47,800 --> 03:13:48,760
any international.

5756
03:13:50,040 --> 03:13:52,900
We have Ottawa on the 22nd of February.

5757
03:13:53,640 --> 03:13:55,780
Safenim in the Netherlands, March 29th.

5758
03:13:56,200 --> 03:13:57,540
There's too many to mention.

5759
03:13:57,700 --> 03:13:59,180
Go to knowagendameetups.com.

5760
03:13:59,260 --> 03:14:00,380
That's where you can find all of them.

5761
03:14:00,500 --> 03:14:02,080
If you can't find one near you, start

5762
03:14:02,080 --> 03:14:02,660
one yourself.

5763
03:14:02,740 --> 03:14:04,140
It's easy and always a party.

5764
03:14:42,840 --> 03:14:44,280
Goodness gracious.

5765
03:14:44,660 --> 03:14:45,640
Goodness gracious.

5766
03:14:46,100 --> 03:14:47,340
That's right.

5767
03:14:48,380 --> 03:14:50,360
Do I have another one?

5768
03:14:50,440 --> 03:14:51,300
Yes, this one here.

5769
03:14:51,720 --> 03:14:53,000
That was really cool.

5770
03:14:53,980 --> 03:14:55,640
Come on, those are all good.

5771
03:14:56,180 --> 03:14:57,920
I think only one of them is good,

5772
03:14:58,020 --> 03:14:59,140
and that was goodness gracious.

5773
03:14:59,780 --> 03:15:02,220
The other two were negative about the show.

5774
03:15:02,380 --> 03:15:03,080
I didn't like that.

5775
03:15:03,920 --> 03:15:05,040
I only have two.

5776
03:15:06,020 --> 03:15:07,780
And they're very positive.

5777
03:15:08,060 --> 03:15:09,780
One is more than good.

5778
03:15:09,780 --> 03:15:11,780
More than good for a podcast.

5779
03:15:12,860 --> 03:15:14,060
You're killing me with these.

5780
03:15:14,120 --> 03:15:14,960
These are so good.

5781
03:15:15,080 --> 03:15:16,700
This is more than good as an ISO.

5782
03:15:17,360 --> 03:15:17,900
For a podcast.

5783
03:15:19,400 --> 03:15:20,940
And then the best.

5784
03:15:21,200 --> 03:15:23,300
This is simply the best anyone can do.

5785
03:15:24,020 --> 03:15:25,600
More than good for a podcast.

5786
03:15:26,300 --> 03:15:27,700
You just win with that.

5787
03:15:28,480 --> 03:15:29,080
Yeah, it's a winner.

5788
03:15:29,220 --> 03:15:30,340
I can't beat that.

5789
03:15:30,620 --> 03:15:31,780
Here we go, everybody.

5790
03:15:31,900 --> 03:15:33,820
It's time once again for the famous John's

5791
03:15:33,820 --> 03:15:34,540
tip of the day.

5792
03:15:39,780 --> 03:15:40,620
The JCD.

5793
03:15:41,780 --> 03:15:43,360
And sometimes Adam.

5794
03:15:44,060 --> 03:15:45,180
Created by Dana Brunetti.

5795
03:15:45,320 --> 03:15:46,140
Everyone's excited.

5796
03:15:46,300 --> 03:15:48,140
Everyone's excited for John's tip of the day.

5797
03:15:48,360 --> 03:15:50,480
It's an exciting thing.

5798
03:15:51,280 --> 03:15:53,380
This is one of those really great tips

5799
03:15:53,380 --> 03:15:55,480
like the people finder tip.

5800
03:15:55,500 --> 03:15:56,580
That was not a great tip.

5801
03:15:56,660 --> 03:15:57,720
That was a horrible tip.

5802
03:15:58,220 --> 03:15:58,700
Horrible.

5803
03:16:00,420 --> 03:16:02,280
A lot of people found relatives.

5804
03:16:02,600 --> 03:16:03,480
They did a lot of things.

5805
03:16:03,780 --> 03:16:05,380
I know it's for you because you had

5806
03:16:05,380 --> 03:16:06,280
a picture of your house.

5807
03:16:06,280 --> 03:16:07,720
I did not like the tip of the

5808
03:16:07,720 --> 03:16:07,920
day.

5809
03:16:08,640 --> 03:16:10,140
This one's a killer.

5810
03:16:10,900 --> 03:16:12,860
This is a website.

5811
03:16:15,420 --> 03:16:22,840
Temp-mail.org slash E-N for English.

5812
03:16:23,380 --> 03:16:24,180
Temp.

5813
03:16:24,240 --> 03:16:25,000
Say again?

5814
03:16:25,640 --> 03:16:27,880
Temp-mail.

5815
03:16:28,260 --> 03:16:31,080
This is a temporary email.

5816
03:16:31,340 --> 03:16:31,720
Mail?

5817
03:16:32,420 --> 03:16:33,020
Yeah.

5818
03:16:33,220 --> 03:16:36,040
This is a temporary email address generator.

5819
03:16:36,040 --> 03:16:39,200
You can sign up for websites, protect yourself

5820
03:16:39,200 --> 03:16:41,960
from spam, because you sign up with a

5821
03:16:41,960 --> 03:16:45,380
fake email that you can use, and then

5822
03:16:45,380 --> 03:16:46,760
you can confirm, because I always say, well,

5823
03:16:46,800 --> 03:16:47,780
this isn't a joke, confirmation.

5824
03:16:48,780 --> 03:16:50,880
And while you're on the site, you can

5825
03:16:50,880 --> 03:16:52,900
pick up that confirmation right there on the

5826
03:16:52,900 --> 03:16:53,500
spot.

5827
03:16:53,600 --> 03:16:56,280
Yeah, that's me, sign me up.

5828
03:16:56,680 --> 03:16:59,380
And so, now you have a fake email.

5829
03:16:59,680 --> 03:17:03,440
So this is for people who do, I

5830
03:17:03,440 --> 03:17:06,980
say espionage, poison pen letters.

5831
03:17:09,380 --> 03:17:10,500
Bitcoin scams.

5832
03:17:11,100 --> 03:17:14,120
Anything you want, I would say this is

5833
03:17:14,120 --> 03:17:16,420
a bit sketchy in that regard, but at

5834
03:17:16,420 --> 03:17:18,220
the same time, this could come in very

5835
03:17:18,220 --> 03:17:18,760
handy.

5836
03:17:19,960 --> 03:17:21,940
Give that URL again, please.

5837
03:17:22,780 --> 03:17:26,600
temp, T-E-M-P, dash, mail, dot,

5838
03:17:27,380 --> 03:17:30,500
org, slash, E-N for English.

5839
03:17:31,120 --> 03:17:33,520
Very nice, well, you can find that tip

5840
03:17:33,520 --> 03:17:39,000
on noagendatipoftheday.net, or noagendafun.com, and of

5841
03:17:39,000 --> 03:17:40,900
course, we are grateful to Dana Brunetti.

5842
03:17:42,040 --> 03:17:45,480
Created by Dana Brunetti, the No Agenda Tip

5843
03:17:45,480 --> 03:17:46,000
of the Day.

5844
03:17:47,160 --> 03:17:48,640
The No Agenda Tip of the Day, starring

5845
03:17:48,640 --> 03:17:50,160
John C4, Adam Hurd.

5846
03:17:54,640 --> 03:17:56,720
Ah, there you go, that wraps up our

5847
03:17:56,720 --> 03:17:57,580
broadcast day.

5848
03:17:57,680 --> 03:17:59,540
We hope that we have settled your amygdalas

5849
03:17:59,540 --> 03:18:01,420
down to their proper size, and you're feeling

5850
03:18:01,420 --> 03:18:02,980
good about the world once again.

5851
03:18:03,740 --> 03:18:05,960
Do not be worried, everything will be okay.

5852
03:18:06,140 --> 03:18:07,960
You can't add a single hour to your

5853
03:18:07,960 --> 03:18:09,540
life by worrying about anything.

5854
03:18:09,680 --> 03:18:11,580
Just worry about us coming back on Sunday.

5855
03:18:11,700 --> 03:18:13,260
That's all you really need to worry about.

5856
03:18:13,820 --> 03:18:14,820
We hope we'll make it.

5857
03:18:15,120 --> 03:18:16,540
John's got a lot of sick people around

5858
03:18:16,540 --> 03:18:19,440
him, so stay safe, John, stay safe.

5859
03:18:20,060 --> 03:18:23,460
Up next on No Agenda Stream, and of

5860
03:18:23,460 --> 03:18:25,740
course, TrollRoom.io and the Modern Podcast Apps,

5861
03:18:25,820 --> 03:18:27,920
it's the Millennial Media Offensive.

5862
03:18:28,680 --> 03:18:31,660
It's episode 155 for them, The African Itch,

5863
03:18:31,780 --> 03:18:32,800
well worth the listen.

5864
03:18:32,900 --> 03:18:36,580
We have end of show mixes from, let

5865
03:18:36,580 --> 03:18:39,960
me see, we've got David Kekta, we've got

5866
03:18:39,960 --> 03:18:44,420
Matt Lazari with some classics, and why don't

5867
03:18:44,420 --> 03:18:45,720
we know who this one is from, the

5868
03:18:45,720 --> 03:18:46,780
6K Dimebag.

5869
03:18:46,880 --> 03:18:47,800
I'll find it and put it in the

5870
03:18:47,800 --> 03:18:48,060
credits.

5871
03:18:48,500 --> 03:18:49,420
Coming to you from the heart of the

5872
03:18:49,420 --> 03:18:52,560
Texas Hill Country in the morning, everybody, I'm

5873
03:18:52,560 --> 03:18:53,220
Adam Currie.

5874
03:18:53,760 --> 03:18:56,600
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's gonna

5875
03:18:56,600 --> 03:18:58,460
finally rain again a little bit, keep us

5876
03:18:58,460 --> 03:18:59,920
from getting any fires, I'm John C.

5877
03:19:00,020 --> 03:19:00,340
Dvorak.

5878
03:19:00,340 --> 03:19:02,440
We return on Sunday with more of your

5879
03:19:02,440 --> 03:19:05,580
media deconstruction, not coming to you from the

5880
03:19:05,580 --> 03:19:08,180
White House press office, press room, because we're

5881
03:19:08,180 --> 03:19:08,880
not gonna do that.

5882
03:19:09,380 --> 03:19:12,440
Remember us at noagendadonations.com until Sunday.

5883
03:19:12,580 --> 03:19:15,520
Adios, mofos, hui hui, and such.

5884
03:19:15,940 --> 03:19:20,840
We're on the process of euthanizing.

5885
03:19:33,460 --> 03:19:34,700
We're gonna die.

5886
03:19:34,920 --> 03:19:35,860
Morbidity and mortality.

5887
03:19:36,940 --> 03:19:39,860
We have 13 recalls telling hospitals how they

5888
03:19:39,860 --> 03:19:41,780
can protect patients and protect their own health

5889
03:19:41,780 --> 03:19:42,180
workers.

5890
03:19:42,840 --> 03:19:45,640
The CDC is warning that raw milk from

5891
03:19:45,640 --> 03:19:48,740
an infected cow, not only just drinking it,

5892
03:19:48,800 --> 03:19:51,380
but potentially even just being splashed in the

5893
03:19:51,380 --> 03:19:52,200
face with it.

5894
03:19:54,040 --> 03:19:56,560
Contact with raw milk from an infected cow

5895
03:19:56,560 --> 03:19:57,760
is one of the ways people can be

5896
03:19:57,760 --> 03:20:01,180
exposed to this emerging epidemic of bird flu.

5897
03:20:06,720 --> 03:20:08,680
This is a huge blunder.

5898
03:20:11,800 --> 03:20:13,920
There's one thing that's interesting that no one's

5899
03:20:13,920 --> 03:20:14,680
picked up on.

5900
03:20:15,900 --> 03:20:17,140
We want you to be safe.

5901
03:20:20,630 --> 03:20:23,890
The Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs

5902
03:20:23,890 --> 03:20:29,050
in the East Rising will be humanely killed.

5903
03:20:30,610 --> 03:20:31,550
Hey, citizens.

5904
03:20:33,010 --> 03:20:34,050
I'm back.

5905
03:20:34,750 --> 03:20:35,910
In the morning.

5906
03:20:38,400 --> 03:20:39,380
Let me ask you about China.

5907
03:20:40,100 --> 03:20:40,880
How could I get to China?

5908
03:20:40,880 --> 03:20:41,660
I dislike China.

5909
03:20:42,180 --> 03:20:43,140
I love China.

5910
03:20:44,160 --> 03:20:44,700
Don't do that.

5911
03:20:44,900 --> 03:20:47,740
You know, you know, I love them.

5912
03:20:48,360 --> 03:20:49,360
I love China.

5913
03:20:50,560 --> 03:20:51,600
Space Force.

5914
03:20:52,240 --> 03:20:55,500
You know, you know, I love them.

5915
03:20:56,160 --> 03:20:57,100
I love China.

5916
03:20:58,360 --> 03:20:59,380
Space Force.

5917
03:20:59,720 --> 03:21:00,200
Don't do that.

5918
03:21:05,240 --> 03:21:05,980
Don't trust China.

5919
03:21:06,480 --> 03:21:07,440
China is asshole.

5920
03:21:13,180 --> 03:21:13,700
Don't trust China.

5921
03:21:14,280 --> 03:21:15,160
China is asshole.

5922
03:21:15,500 --> 03:21:15,600
Don't do that.

5923
03:21:17,320 --> 03:21:17,880
I love China.

5924
03:21:17,880 --> 03:21:18,820
China all the time.

5925
03:21:19,480 --> 03:21:21,020
Papu-Tata-Ching-Ching.

5926
03:21:21,220 --> 03:21:23,020
Ching-Chong-Chong-Ching-Chong.

5927
03:21:23,300 --> 03:21:24,560
Big League China.

5928
03:21:25,300 --> 03:21:26,120
I love China.

5929
03:21:27,160 --> 03:21:28,560
China all the time.

5930
03:21:29,340 --> 03:21:30,100
China now.

5931
03:21:30,520 --> 03:21:31,120
Don't do that.

5932
03:21:31,320 --> 03:21:32,020
Are you talking to me?

5933
03:21:33,100 --> 03:21:33,980
Are you talking to me?

5934
03:21:34,800 --> 03:21:36,020
Let's say China.

5935
03:21:36,260 --> 03:21:36,680
China.

5936
03:21:37,060 --> 03:21:37,540
China.

5937
03:21:38,900 --> 03:21:39,500
China.

5938
03:21:40,720 --> 03:21:41,320
China.

5939
03:21:41,500 --> 03:21:43,620
China now.

5940
03:21:44,840 --> 03:21:45,240
China.

5941
03:21:45,980 --> 03:21:46,600
Don't do that.

5942
03:21:46,880 --> 03:21:49,820
You know, you know, I love them.

5943
03:21:50,520 --> 03:21:51,320
I love China.

5944
03:21:52,480 --> 03:21:53,600
Space Force.

5945
03:21:54,180 --> 03:21:57,560
You know, you know, I love them.

5946
03:21:58,280 --> 03:21:59,060
I love China.

5947
03:22:00,220 --> 03:22:01,340
Space Force.

5948
03:22:01,660 --> 03:22:02,100
Don't do that.

5949
03:22:07,200 --> 03:22:07,920
Don't trust China.

5950
03:22:17,520 --> 03:22:19,120
So don't tell me about China, I know

5951
03:22:19,120 --> 03:22:21,900
China, people from China, they love me, people

5952
03:22:21,900 --> 03:22:23,980
say you don't like China, I like China,

5953
03:22:24,140 --> 03:22:29,720
buy toys from China, Chongqing China, Chongqing China,

5954
03:22:31,740 --> 03:22:34,100
Asshole, don't laugh, I have to have my

5955
03:22:34,100 --> 03:22:37,480

5959
03:22:52,160 --> 03:22:52,320
up.

5960
03:22:52,320 --> 03:22:54,840
I went back and I looked, this is

5961
03:22:54,840 --> 03:22:58,880
cringeworthy, bought a dime bag of drugs on

5962
03:22:58,880 --> 03:23:03,620
Silk Road for 6 Bitcoin, $600,000 I

5963
03:23:03,620 --> 03:23:07,580
lost for the show, for a $10 bag

5964
03:23:07,580 --> 03:23:12,640
of weed or whatever you bought, I remember

5965
03:23:12,640 --> 03:23:14,400
it came through the mail too, and it

5966
03:23:14,400 --> 03:23:15,980
wasn't even all that good, it was stems

5967
03:23:15,980 --> 03:23:21,760
and seeds, horrible, I got chipped, for the

5968
03:23:21,760 --> 03:23:23,780
show man, it's a service we provide to

5969
03:23:23,780 --> 03:23:25,260
the show, what?

5970
03:23:25,360 --> 03:23:28,020
You spent 6 Bitcoin on drugs?

5971
03:23:30,160 --> 03:23:33,000
Exactly, that's how I felt.

5972
03:23:48,300 --> 03:23:48,920
