1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,640
She looks like she stinks.

2
00:00:02,380 --> 00:00:03,600
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:03,740 --> 00:00:04,220
Dvorak.

4
00:00:04,340 --> 00:00:06,600
Next Thursday, April 10th, 2025, this is your

5
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,460
award-winning Cuba Nation Media Assassination Episode 1754.

6
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,400
This is no agenda.

7
00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:16,060
What goes up must come down.

8
00:00:16,220 --> 00:00:18,660
And we're broadcasting live from the heart of

9
00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:20,780
the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region

10
00:00:20,780 --> 00:00:21,000
No.

11
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:21,520
6.

12
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,000
Good morning, everybody.

13
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:24,020
I'm Adam Curry.

14
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:27,460
And from northern Silicon Valley, we're all watching

15
00:00:27,460 --> 00:00:28,940
the cabinet meeting.

16
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:29,640
I'm John C.

17
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:30,160
Dvorak.

18
00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:32,280
Black blood and buzzkill.

19
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:33,480
In the morning.

20
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:36,540
You're not supposed to be watching television during

21
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:37,000
the show.

22
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,000
Is it the cabinet meeting or is it

23
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,900
another episode of The Apprentice?

24
00:00:44,980 --> 00:00:45,540
Oh, boy.

25
00:00:45,540 --> 00:00:46,300
Did you see any of this?

26
00:00:46,420 --> 00:00:47,500
Yeah, I saw some of it.

27
00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:49,600
What about it?

28
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:52,280
What about it?

29
00:00:52,820 --> 00:00:53,940
Well, a couple of things.

30
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:55,540
One is The Apprentice.

31
00:00:56,340 --> 00:00:57,020
Yeah.

32
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,920
And it's like all it is is a

33
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,239
bunch of cabinet members telling Trump what a

34
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:06,440
great job he's doing and how everybody's great

35
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,140
on the cabinet.

36
00:01:08,020 --> 00:01:10,500
And we all love each other.

37
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,680
And it's unfortunate, or fortunately or unfortunately, I

38
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,240
think it's setting a precedent where now every

39
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,860
president who comes after Trump is going to

40
00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:24,740
have to do these live events.

41
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:27,800
We've got to do an Instagram live, baby.

42
00:01:28,540 --> 00:01:29,360
Of course.

43
00:01:30,020 --> 00:01:32,400
Well, that's the most transparent government in history.

44
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:33,960
It's tedious.

45
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,800
And, you know, everybody's, it was just, I

46
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,060
don't know, I found the thing to be

47
00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:41,540
so staged and phony that it was like,

48
00:01:42,140 --> 00:01:43,400
it was an eye roller.

49
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,720
Well, throughout the past few days, I just

50
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,900
kept getting this feeling and seeing what people

51
00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:54,540
are emailing me and hearing people around me.

52
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,940
And, of course, it's all coming from the

53
00:01:56,940 --> 00:01:57,720
M5M.

54
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,400
Everything's, we got charts, we got numbers, we

55
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,180
got red, we got green, we got up,

56
00:02:02,260 --> 00:02:03,780
we got down, we got panic, we got,

57
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,440
oh, yeah.

58
00:02:07,139 --> 00:02:10,039
It reminds me of COVID.

59
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,020
People are being psyoped.

60
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:13,980
They are upset.

61
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,420
They're being spun up.

62
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,760
They don't know what's going on.

63
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,860
They don't understand it.

64
00:02:18,140 --> 00:02:20,600
All the experts are contradicting each other.

65
00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:23,700
In fact, it's showing up in reports, including

66
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:26,060
this one little ditty which keeps coming back

67
00:02:26,060 --> 00:02:26,940
time and again.

68
00:02:27,540 --> 00:02:30,500
Consumer confidence dropped sharply this week following steep

69
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:32,820
drops on Wall Street amid President Trump's historic

70
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:33,260
tariffs.

71
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Today, Trump announced that 90-day pause on

72
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,220
some of the tariffs, but tariffs on Chinese

73
00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:40,860
products now stand at 125%.

74
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:43,040
Bottom line, everyday items are expected to cost

75
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,780
more within weeks or months.

76
00:02:44,940 --> 00:02:46,260
Take iPhones, for example.

77
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:49,120
Tech analysts predict they would triple in price

78
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,240
if Apple moved its manufacturing operations to the

79
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,360
U.S., which is one intended purpose of

80
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:55,880
the tariffs.

81
00:02:55,940 --> 00:02:57,340
Our Nydia Han joining us now live in

82
00:02:57,340 --> 00:02:58,520
studio with a look at how the threat

83
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,480
of higher prices is prompting shoppers to stock

84
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,020
up now.

85
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,280
Nydia.

86
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,920
Yeah, people are really concerned.

87
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:06,060
We asked our friends on Facebook about tariffs.

88
00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:06,420
Friends on Facebook!

89
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,020
And received about 500 comments.

90
00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:10,180
Many people say.

91
00:03:10,380 --> 00:03:12,440
The news has now resorted to.

92
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,520
Wow, there's reporting.

93
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,600
The news has now resorted to asking their

94
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,100
friends.

95
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:18,240
We asked our friends on Facebook.

96
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,380
Facebook friends tell us what to do.

97
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,840
And received about 500 comments.

98
00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:25,660
Many people say they aren't changing their behavior,

99
00:03:25,820 --> 00:03:27,840
but some tell us they are so concerned

100
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,700
about possible price increases they are now resorting

101
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:31,820
to panic buying.

102
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:32,820
We're scared to death.

103
00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:33,600
We're retired.

104
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,440
We're watching our savings going down the tube.

105
00:03:36,740 --> 00:03:38,300
We don't know what to expect next.

106
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:38,620
Down the tube!

107
00:03:38,620 --> 00:03:39,440
It's confusing.

108
00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:42,440
Confusing and leading some to stock up or

109
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,880
even panic buy.

110
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:44,180
Panic buy!

111
00:03:44,180 --> 00:03:46,760
I just bought a ton of coffee yesterday.

112
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,660
It has chicory in it, which helps the

113
00:03:48,660 --> 00:03:51,000
acid in the coffee not affect my stomach.

114
00:03:51,260 --> 00:03:53,320
So yeah, I just ordered six more cans

115
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:53,800
yesterday.

116
00:03:54,260 --> 00:03:56,440
Viewers on Facebook tell us they've ordered an

117
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,920
iPhone and French wine.

118
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,340
Can we stop the clip for a second?

119
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:02,360
I just had to throw in a little...

120
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,140
Color.

121
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,000
Color commentary.

122
00:04:04,260 --> 00:04:04,960
Color commentary.

123
00:04:05,220 --> 00:04:05,620
Factoid.

124
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,660
Chicory is put in coffee.

125
00:04:07,940 --> 00:04:10,040
I knew you would focus on the chicory.

126
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:11,180
Yeah.

127
00:04:11,620 --> 00:04:12,220
Of course.

128
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:12,960
Of course.

129
00:04:13,060 --> 00:04:13,660
You're JCD.

130
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:14,520
Of course you do.

131
00:04:14,980 --> 00:04:16,019
Tell us about the chicory.

132
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:21,019
Chicory is put in coffee into lousy, non

133
00:04:21,019 --> 00:04:25,160
-robust, like the Robusto, the crappy beans to

134
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,140
make the coffee palatable.

135
00:04:27,140 --> 00:04:29,680
It's got nothing to do with stomach acids

136
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,080
or anything like that.

137
00:04:31,620 --> 00:04:33,620
It might have an effect like that, but

138
00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:37,700
chicory is a way to take cheap, crappy

139
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:39,780
-tasting coffee and make it palatable.

140
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,860
That's the reason you use it.

141
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,880
And sometimes, yeah, okay, I like the taste

142
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,140
of chicory, so I use it.

143
00:04:45,580 --> 00:04:46,660
I mean, I don't personally.

144
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,580
You could put salt in it.

145
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,620
You'd get the same effect.

146
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:51,220
There's a bunch of things you can do.

147
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,860
But this lady had one lame eye.

148
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,040
She was perfect.

149
00:04:55,180 --> 00:04:56,280
One eye was kind of droopy.

150
00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:58,220
One eye going off in the wrong direction.

151
00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,220
Yeah, well, that's always good for a laugh.

152
00:04:59,220 --> 00:05:01,220
But there's a common theme in these reports.

153
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,880
Ordered six more cans yesterday.

154
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,500
Viewers on Facebook tell us they've ordered an

155
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:09,000
iPhone and French wines, chocolate chips and cocoa

156
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,360
powder, as well as car parts and new

157
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:11,800
tires.

158
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,240
I feel like I'm back in COVID again.

159
00:05:14,340 --> 00:05:16,620
Nobody knows what's going on, what's going to

160
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:16,940
happen.

161
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,600
That's exactly it.

162
00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:20,720
Now, we have not gone to panic buying

163
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,280
toilet paper, but it seems for some reason

164
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:24,480
I didn't have.

165
00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:25,820
Yes, it's coming.

166
00:05:25,820 --> 00:05:29,160
Well, the way the media is playing this,

167
00:05:29,260 --> 00:05:32,800
but they cannot help themselves with this one

168
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,660
example over and over and over again.

169
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,960
Could Americans soon be paying several thousand dollars

170
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,100
for a new iPhone?

171
00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:44,140
Apple's landmark smartphone is set to be impacted

172
00:05:44,140 --> 00:05:45,480
by Donald Trump's tariffs.

173
00:05:45,740 --> 00:05:48,020
I mean, everyone has this example.

174
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,860
Your iPhone's going to cost $3,500.

175
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,740
Guess what?

176
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,700
We'll buy an Android.

177
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:56,540
I think the news media are worried about

178
00:05:56,540 --> 00:05:57,260
their iPhone.

179
00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:00,580
If I don't have the newest iPhone, then

180
00:06:00,580 --> 00:06:02,300
I won't be cool, and I can't have

181
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:02,980
a green bubble.

182
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:03,960
I've got to have a blue bubble.

183
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:04,960
I've got to have an iPhone.

184
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:07,980
Oh, Trump, you're ruining my iPhone purchase.

185
00:06:08,060 --> 00:06:09,780
As most are assembled in China.

186
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,820
Hold on a second.

187
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,720
You're exactly right.

188
00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:14,700
In fact, a lot of the Android phones

189
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:16,040
are built in Korea.

190
00:06:16,820 --> 00:06:17,200
Thank you.

191
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,260
And I have one that costs $75, which

192
00:06:20,260 --> 00:06:22,320
looks just fine as a smartphone.

193
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:23,080
You got gypped.

194
00:06:23,180 --> 00:06:24,000
You paid too much.

195
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:27,980
And so everyone's all bent out of shape

196
00:06:27,980 --> 00:06:28,940
because of the iPhone.

197
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:29,860
Keep listening.

198
00:06:30,420 --> 00:06:32,980
We're now subject to an entire report about

199
00:06:32,980 --> 00:06:33,580
the iPhone.

200
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:35,880
104% import duty.

201
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,760
Some analysts say Apple's costs could rise as

202
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,240
much as 43%.

203
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,620
If that's passed on to the consumer, the

204
00:06:42,620 --> 00:06:45,060
top-of-the-line iPhone 16 Pro Max

205
00:06:45,060 --> 00:06:47,620
would go from a $1,600 retail price

206
00:06:47,620 --> 00:06:49,200
to nearly $2,300.

207
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,820
I would not pay $2,300 for an

208
00:06:51,820 --> 00:06:53,800
iPhone for any reason.

209
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:54,720
For an iPhone?

210
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:55,160
Never.

211
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:56,620
No.

212
00:06:57,020 --> 00:06:58,840
Apple's top supplier in China.

213
00:06:58,940 --> 00:07:00,220
All right, now here's another report.

214
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:02,800
Well, China has actually from the start mentioned

215
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,620
negotiations or talking with the Americans from the

216
00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:06,880
start.

217
00:07:06,940 --> 00:07:08,680
But right now they are demanding a bit

218
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,960
of respect first.

219
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,460
So at this stage, no breakthrough on the

220
00:07:12,460 --> 00:07:12,860
horizon.

221
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,680
Tensions are extremely high.

222
00:07:14,780 --> 00:07:17,500
Neither side backing down in numbers.

223
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:20,080
Beijing has escalated as much as the U

224
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,700
.S., responding in kind to their tariffs, you

225
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:25,280
know, 34% and now 50% so

226
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:25,620
far.

227
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,440
The United States, though, insists that the playing

228
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,820
field was vastly skewered in the first place

229
00:07:30,820 --> 00:07:32,940
because of that trade deficit they have.

230
00:07:33,460 --> 00:07:35,720
Without a breakthrough, though, we are heading towards

231
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,280
a much nastier trade war than anything we've

232
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,020
seen before.

233
00:07:39,140 --> 00:07:41,040
It's really difficult to see the end of

234
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:41,440
the tunnel.

235
00:07:41,580 --> 00:07:44,600
Donald Trump's way of speaking is certainly not

236
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,740
considered to be very diplomatic in the eyes

237
00:07:46,740 --> 00:07:47,680
of the Chinese.

238
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,880
Beijing has now announced travel advisories to its

239
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,340
citizens visiting the U.S. as well as

240
00:07:54,340 --> 00:08:02,200
telling overseas students there to conduct safety risk

241
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,000
assessments.

242
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:05,200
All this talk, everything, all this talk.

243
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:05,800
What's the result?

244
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,760
Deciding whether or not they should continue studying

245
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,340
in the U.S. China is arguably the

246
00:08:10,340 --> 00:08:12,220
only country that can really hold its ground

247
00:08:12,220 --> 00:08:14,520
when it comes to dealing with the humiliating

248
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,640
rhetoric coming from Washington rather than the smaller

249
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,700
economies who are having to sign up to

250
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:22,320
strike deals with Donald Trump.

251
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,420
Beijing is standing firm for now, so diplomatic

252
00:08:25,420 --> 00:08:27,220
tensions have escalated.

253
00:08:27,980 --> 00:08:30,020
But, of course, it's neither in the U

254
00:08:30,020 --> 00:08:32,539
.S. nor in China's interest to let this

255
00:08:32,539 --> 00:08:34,840
situation get out of hand any further.

256
00:08:34,980 --> 00:08:37,140
U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods will ultimately

257
00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:38,820
hurt U.S. consumers.

258
00:08:38,820 --> 00:08:40,799
Just think of the price of the iPhone

259
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,140
that will inevitably rise as for China.

260
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,300
I mean, what is this?

261
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,880
Is that the only thing that's going to

262
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,400
be affected?

263
00:08:47,540 --> 00:08:49,580
Is that truly the problem?

264
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,800
And every hoi polloi rich money person, although

265
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,600
not necessarily hoi polloi or rich, but Andrew

266
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,620
Horowitz, they all say the same thing.

267
00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:01,180
Well, I like the tariffs.

268
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,920
I don't like how he's doing it.

269
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,100
I don't like how he's doing it.

270
00:09:05,580 --> 00:09:06,920
He could have done it a little more

271
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:07,320
subtle.

272
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,780
I don't like how he's doing it.

273
00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:10,100
He's not a nice man.

274
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,820
He's not showing respect.

275
00:09:13,140 --> 00:09:14,400
I'm sick of it.

276
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,540
And then here's the new one.

277
00:09:16,940 --> 00:09:17,900
This is the new one.

278
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,500
Oh, boy.

279
00:09:19,660 --> 00:09:21,540
You heard Horowitz's feelings.

280
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,280
I heard him.

281
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:24,200
He wouldn't even.

282
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,720
He is so mad when you did the

283
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,400
typical plug for no agenda.

284
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,040
He didn't throw in the Sunday and Thursday.

285
00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:32,140
That's true.

286
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:32,740
Good point.

287
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,060
I listened to the show.

288
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:35,100
He's steaming mad.

289
00:09:35,620 --> 00:09:36,220
He's mad.

290
00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:36,960
Trump.

291
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:37,640
Trump.

292
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,320
Well, look, let's stop for a second.

293
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:41,660
I got to defend him.

294
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,440
I love Andrew, but still.

295
00:09:46,060 --> 00:09:47,060
Here's the deal.

296
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,760
He has to take nothing but grief.

297
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,580
You know, grief.

298
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,940
24 hour a day grief.

299
00:09:54,220 --> 00:09:55,720
What happened to my portfolio?

300
00:09:56,020 --> 00:09:56,880
You fucked me.

301
00:09:57,060 --> 00:09:58,040
It's your fault.

302
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,400
You should have told me to sell.

303
00:09:59,540 --> 00:09:59,880
It's your.

304
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,400
Where is my money?

305
00:10:02,820 --> 00:10:05,040
Basically the worst job in the world.

306
00:10:05,420 --> 00:10:07,600
If you have a situation like this.

307
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:08,440
So he's angry.

308
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:09,200
Listen to this.

309
00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:12,140
So Tina put her retirement money with Horowitz

310
00:10:12,140 --> 00:10:12,980
years ago.

311
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:15,920
And so she said, oh, I got a

312
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:16,820
note from Andrew.

313
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:18,980
It was like a letter to all his

314
00:10:18,980 --> 00:10:19,460
clients.

315
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,780
And it was that I just deleted.

316
00:10:21,940 --> 00:10:22,860
I don't want to see it.

317
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:23,540
I don't care.

318
00:10:23,940 --> 00:10:26,900
She's like, yeah, he's I understand.

319
00:10:27,140 --> 00:10:28,420
It's not easy for him.

320
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,720
It's not easy.

321
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,660
But it seems like the only people who

322
00:10:31,660 --> 00:10:34,320
are mad are people who can afford iPhones.

323
00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:36,720
And people who have portfolios.

324
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,680
And this is the latest.

325
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,460
This is a good point.

326
00:10:40,660 --> 00:10:42,220
Well, that's what's going on.

327
00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:44,420
This is Wall Street versus Main Street.

328
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,200
And the president has chosen for Main Street.

329
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,560
But Wall Street is trying to make Main

330
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:51,100
Street super afraid.

331
00:10:51,420 --> 00:10:52,920
The COVID is going to get you.

332
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:54,460
It's going to kill granny.

333
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,420
You won't have any toilet paper.

334
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,780
This is what's happening again.

335
00:10:58,780 --> 00:11:00,340
And I'm sick of it.

336
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:03,240
Here's Ari Melbourne from MSNBC.

337
00:11:03,580 --> 00:11:05,320
This is another thing they're doing now.

338
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:07,740
There isn't a red or blue America when

339
00:11:07,740 --> 00:11:10,240
a president's policies wipe out what you see

340
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:10,740
here.

341
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,260
Part of the $6 trillion losses in days.

342
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,060
And losses.

343
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,340
No one understands losses.

344
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,400
It's not like, oh, I just dropped $6

345
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,380
trillion and someone rode over it with a

346
00:11:24,380 --> 00:11:25,500
truck and it's gone.

347
00:11:25,980 --> 00:11:26,440
No.

348
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,820
It's value of paper.

349
00:11:29,420 --> 00:11:30,080
Stop it.

350
00:11:30,180 --> 00:11:30,760
Everyone loses.

351
00:11:31,340 --> 00:11:32,300
Everyone loses.

352
00:11:32,620 --> 00:11:33,240
My iPhone.

353
00:11:33,460 --> 00:11:36,060
New evidence right now showing the backlash to

354
00:11:36,060 --> 00:11:37,720
Trump's flailing trade war.

355
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,320
That backlash is broad.

356
00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:41,840
From the bankers and CEOs I mentioned, quoted

357
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,340
some here at the top of the show.

358
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,400
To political leaders in both parties.

359
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,400
Now then there are still many people who,

360
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,220
of course, avoid traditional or credentialed press.

361
00:11:50,340 --> 00:11:51,980
Yeah, people who are smart, who don't want

362
00:11:51,980 --> 00:11:53,080
to listen to your blather.

363
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,900
This is what CNBC looks like if you

364
00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:56,600
turn it on, on the screen here.

365
00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:58,440
But people may not see that kind of

366
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,880
news coverage of the tanking markets.

367
00:12:00,140 --> 00:12:02,320
There are people who consume alternative, younger media.

368
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:03,640
This is a cultural matter.

369
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,480
No, it's not a cultural matter.

370
00:12:05,620 --> 00:12:08,660
It's because M5M, you, Ari Melbourne, suck.

371
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,300
People have gone to alternative media, not just

372
00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:12,160
a cultural matter.

373
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,440
No, we don't want to watch MSNBC.

374
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,920
That's for the elites with $3,500 future

375
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,380
iPhones.

376
00:12:17,380 --> 00:12:18,980
Or what you've heard about, some of these

377
00:12:18,980 --> 00:12:22,320
MAGA-friendly podcasts and streaming shows.

378
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,040
Oh, MAGA-friendly podcasts and streaming shows, uh

379
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:26,240
-oh.

380
00:12:26,380 --> 00:12:29,340
And a different set of voices rules.

381
00:12:29,540 --> 00:12:31,700
Let's be clear, many of them speak to

382
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:34,940
their audience in an unfiltered, authentic way in

383
00:12:34,940 --> 00:12:35,560
real time.

384
00:12:35,740 --> 00:12:37,420
That's part of what draws their audience.

385
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,080
Now they have MAGA credentials.

386
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,240
It should tell you something.

387
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,160
What's a MAGA credential?

388
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,440
Well, let me get my wallet out.

389
00:12:44,460 --> 00:12:45,880
I want my pass.

390
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,680
Where's my MAGA credential?

391
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:48,980
I want some MAGA.

392
00:12:48,980 --> 00:12:52,380
It's next to your boomer Zionist shill diploma.

393
00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:53,800
Believe me, it's there.

394
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,960
I'm sure you have this past talk about

395
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,120
supporting Trump's promise for the country.

396
00:12:59,740 --> 00:13:01,780
But many of them are now sharing with

397
00:13:01,780 --> 00:13:03,900
their huge audiences, which can number in the

398
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:05,860
millions or tens of millions in the case

399
00:13:05,860 --> 00:13:07,860
of Rogan, who I showed earlier.

400
00:13:08,340 --> 00:13:09,680
Well, many of the ones you're about to

401
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:12,060
see, they're sharing concern, panic.

402
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:12,800
Panic.

403
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,660
Confusion and even disgust.

404
00:13:14,660 --> 00:13:15,220
Oh, no.

405
00:13:15,460 --> 00:13:18,380
Over the cost of Trump flailing trade war.

406
00:13:18,460 --> 00:13:19,820
So let's hear some examples.

407
00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:21,180
Everyone used the same ones.

408
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,780
And it's interesting that they all try to

409
00:13:22,780 --> 00:13:23,940
shoehorn Rogan in there.

410
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,080
But Rogan has actually not said anything about

411
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,720
this at all so far.

412
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,900
But here's an actual news report from Europe.

413
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,360
During the presidential campaign, they were considered crucial

414
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,220
in helping Donald Trump win votes among young

415
00:13:37,220 --> 00:13:37,640
men.

416
00:13:37,820 --> 00:13:38,580
They're turning on him.

417
00:13:38,580 --> 00:13:42,180
Conservative podcasters are joining some of the president's

418
00:13:42,180 --> 00:13:45,320
billionaire backers in voicing doubts over his tariff

419
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:45,920
policies.

420
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,460
Well, yeah, these guys are rich.

421
00:13:47,620 --> 00:13:49,600
These conservative MAGA credential podcasters.

422
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:50,740
No wonder.

423
00:13:51,140 --> 00:13:54,020
Ben Shapiro, who has seven million subscribers on

424
00:13:54,020 --> 00:13:54,420
YouTube.

425
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,480
Hold on.

426
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:56,540
Stop the presses.

427
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:03,020
Ben Shapiro has traditionally been a never Trumper.

428
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,280
He's hated the guy since day one.

429
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,660
He had to kind of come over to

430
00:14:08,660 --> 00:14:10,940
the Trump side because of the popularity.

431
00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:14,500
But Ben Shapiro has never been a Trumper.

432
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,660
He's hated Trump from the get go.

433
00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:22,720
You are not in service of France Vincatra.

434
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,300
You are not the one getting the clips.

435
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,420
All you need is one clip to prove

436
00:14:27,420 --> 00:14:27,860
the point.

437
00:14:28,260 --> 00:14:31,020
Shapiro, who has seven million subscribers on YouTube

438
00:14:31,020 --> 00:14:33,760
and lended his support to Trump, said he

439
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,180
wasn't against import taxes as a way to

440
00:14:36,180 --> 00:14:37,340
leverage other countries.

441
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,400
But he did take issue with the mixed

442
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,640
messaging about the tariffs and gold.

443
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,820
And this is the possibility that is retailed

444
00:14:43,820 --> 00:14:45,360
by President Trump and many other members of

445
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:45,900
the administration.

446
00:14:46,180 --> 00:14:47,580
And that is the idea that tariffs are

447
00:14:47,580 --> 00:14:47,900
good.

448
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,660
Trade wars are good and easy to win.

449
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,180
Tariffs themselves are good and make us rich.

450
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,780
The idea that this is inherently good and

451
00:14:53,780 --> 00:14:55,980
makes the American economy strong is wrongheaded.

452
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:56,980
It's wrongheaded.

453
00:14:57,540 --> 00:15:00,360
Dave Portnoy is another media figure who's unhappy

454
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,980
with how the measures have played out.

455
00:15:01,980 --> 00:15:05,080
The owner of Barstool Sports, which counts 1

456
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,220
.8 million YouTube subscribers, endorsed Trump in 2016

457
00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:11,340
and interviewed him at the White House in

458
00:15:11,340 --> 00:15:11,920
2020.

459
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:15,660
On Monday, he lamented losing an estimated $20

460
00:15:15,660 --> 00:15:17,840
million from his investment portfolio.

461
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:20,820
I don't know, poor baby.

462
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,200
10, 15 percent of my net worth, poof.

463
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,320
But I'm still here.

464
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,280
Well, hold on, stop.

465
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,100
Do you do the math on this?

466
00:15:27,140 --> 00:15:28,480
This guy's got $200 million.

467
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,080
Exactly.

468
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,520
On Monday, he lamented losing an estimated $20

469
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,140
million from his investment portfolio.

470
00:15:36,380 --> 00:15:38,520
I don't know, like 10, 15 percent of

471
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,560
my net worth, poof.

472
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:40,880
But I'm still here.

473
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,000
That's the game.

474
00:15:42,180 --> 00:15:43,040
I'm still standing.

475
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,020
I've got $180 million left.

476
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:45,740
I'm here, people.

477
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:46,740
Don't worry about it.

478
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,220
I'm not going to go down without a

479
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:48,540
fight.

480
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,260
Like, do I like it?

481
00:15:50,340 --> 00:15:50,620
No.

482
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:51,780
Am I crying?

483
00:15:51,980 --> 00:15:53,640
Am I like, oh, woe is me.

484
00:15:53,740 --> 00:15:55,180
I wish I voted for Kamala.

485
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:55,640
No.

486
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,820
Do I wish this didn't go down like

487
00:15:57,820 --> 00:15:58,060
this?

488
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:58,500
Yes.

489
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:02,400
Meanwhile, Joe Rogan, who boasts 16.4 million

490
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,260
subscribers on YouTube, said in March that Trump's

491
00:16:05,260 --> 00:16:07,380
trade feud with Canada was stupid.

492
00:16:07,980 --> 00:16:10,540
While he was campaigning last year, Trump appeared

493
00:16:10,540 --> 00:16:13,040
on Rogan's podcast for a nearly three-hour

494
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,800
interview, and Rogan endorsed the Republican on the

495
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:16,740
eve of the election.

496
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,840
But in January, the UFC commentator said he

497
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,620
was not affiliated with a political party, and

498
00:16:22,620 --> 00:16:26,200
more recently, he criticized the Trump administration's deportations

499
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,820
of alleged gang members when one turned out

500
00:16:28,820 --> 00:16:30,940
to be a gay Venezuelan makeup artist.

501
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,420
I thought it was a hairdresser.

502
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,820
So they don't even have anything.

503
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,480
Now he's a gay—now he's a makeup artist.

504
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:39,400
So they don't even have a current clip

505
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,040
from Rogan.

506
00:16:40,140 --> 00:16:43,040
But they're just pulling everything out, everything they

507
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:43,440
can.

508
00:16:44,180 --> 00:16:44,340
Yeah.

509
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,780
And they're putting fear into people and telling

510
00:16:48,780 --> 00:16:50,500
them to go panic buy with the one

511
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:52,540
-eyed, droopy-eyed lady, like, oh, I have

512
00:16:52,540 --> 00:16:54,020
to get more chicory coffee.

513
00:16:54,020 --> 00:16:56,820
These are minor things.

514
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,960
And now we need to get some analysis.

515
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,260
I know that you're the much smarter person

516
00:17:02,260 --> 00:17:04,520
than this, so I have question number one

517
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,599
with a very short clip.

518
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,319
Because this was, I think, you know, we

519
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:11,760
discussed back in March, hey, maybe he's trying

520
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,520
to drive the bond market down so that

521
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,720
he'll be able to refi the country at

522
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,900
a cheaper rate, which is $9 trillion that

523
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:21,420
has to be refi'd this year, including $2

524
00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:23,220
trillion, I believe, this month.

525
00:17:23,220 --> 00:17:24,680
And then this happens.

526
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,180
U.S. government bonds are traditionally seen as

527
00:17:27,180 --> 00:17:28,960
a safe haven in times of turmoil.

528
00:17:29,260 --> 00:17:31,280
But this sell-off is shaking that view.

529
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,660
Investors are dumping longer-dated treasuries, and even

530
00:17:34,660 --> 00:17:36,920
the benchmark 10-year bond is getting hit.

531
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,920
Market participants say that hedge funds are at

532
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:40,900
the heart of the purge.

533
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:43,100
They need to cover losses on some of

534
00:17:43,100 --> 00:17:44,400
their highly leveraged bets.

535
00:17:44,740 --> 00:17:46,760
But there could be other more fundamental triggers

536
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:47,220
at play.

537
00:17:47,820 --> 00:17:50,600
Concerns that tariffs will drive inflation and prevent

538
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,020
the Fed from cutting interest rates.

539
00:17:52,020 --> 00:17:54,560
And that foreign investors will dump U.S.

540
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,680
treasuries in retaliation for tariffs.

541
00:17:56,780 --> 00:17:58,260
So the bond market all of a sudden

542
00:17:58,260 --> 00:17:59,260
skyrocketed.

543
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,020
That was not supposed to happen when the

544
00:18:01,020 --> 00:18:01,860
market tanks.

545
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:03,540
What happened?

546
00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:08,130
What do you mean by skyrocket?

547
00:18:08,230 --> 00:18:09,890
The interest rates going up or down or

548
00:18:09,890 --> 00:18:10,890
the bond prices going up or down?

549
00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:12,670
No, the bond prices went down, but the

550
00:18:12,670 --> 00:18:13,690
interest rates went up.

551
00:18:14,350 --> 00:18:14,590
Yeah.

552
00:18:14,910 --> 00:18:18,030
That was not part of the theory.

553
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:22,780
What theory?

554
00:18:23,020 --> 00:18:25,280
The theory that Trump was doing all this

555
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,280
to refinance at lower rates.

556
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:27,760
Oh, yeah.

557
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,840
No, that's because this probably wasn't the case.

558
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,200
You may be closer to the reality with

559
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,680
the trillion-dollar coin.

560
00:18:38,660 --> 00:18:42,780
Well, so I think about the surprise that

561
00:18:42,780 --> 00:18:45,220
I had when I heard this.

562
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,220
Let me see.

563
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:50,400
Because I had not heard this term.

564
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:53,040
Let's see.

565
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:53,660
Where is it?

566
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,920
Well, we talked about it on the show

567
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,820
maybe a couple months ago.

568
00:18:59,380 --> 00:19:01,620
And all of a sudden, Nicole Wallace, of

569
00:19:01,620 --> 00:19:06,100
all people, which is hard to watch, had…

570
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:08,100
She looks like she's about to break into

571
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:09,140
tears all the time.

572
00:19:09,580 --> 00:19:12,100
She's got that droopy look, and she's just

573
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:13,140
– I can't watch her.

574
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:15,460
She looks like she's not showered, you know?

575
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,620
She's kind of a…

576
00:19:16,620 --> 00:19:17,700
Oh, definitely.

577
00:19:18,460 --> 00:19:20,100
She looks like she stinks.

578
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:23,400
Now, now, John.

579
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,540
No, I mean, that's what she looks like.

580
00:19:25,620 --> 00:19:25,900
Yeah, she does.

581
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:26,460
It does.

582
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:27,740
She looks stanky.

583
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,780
So she had Charlotte Howard of The Economist

584
00:19:31,780 --> 00:19:34,780
on, and I was surprised to hear Charlotte

585
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,440
from The Economist all of a sudden mimicking

586
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,920
a podcaster like us.

587
00:19:41,060 --> 00:19:43,160
What are the theories that folks from the

588
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,980
business community have about why Trump is doing

589
00:19:44,980 --> 00:19:45,220
this?

590
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,280
Doug said that there's no explanation.

591
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:48,280
There's no rationale.

592
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,180
Trump hasn't articulated a goal, and without a

593
00:19:52,180 --> 00:19:53,640
goal, there's no way of knowing when it's

594
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,900
going to achieve, to know when it will

595
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:55,220
end.

596
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,360
Why do business people think he's doing this?

597
00:19:58,860 --> 00:20:00,120
Well, I think it depends on the business

598
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:00,640
person, right?

599
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,800
But there's one theory that has been bouncing

600
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,600
around now for some time, which has to

601
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:05,740
do with this idea of a Mar-a

602
00:20:05,740 --> 00:20:06,700
-Lago accord, right?

603
00:20:06,740 --> 00:20:08,900
So a purposeful devaluing of the dollar.

604
00:20:09,940 --> 00:20:11,180
And so if you squint at it, it's

605
00:20:11,180 --> 00:20:12,980
kind of like looking at a pile of

606
00:20:12,980 --> 00:20:14,180
dirt and trying to see a Picasso.

607
00:20:14,180 --> 00:20:17,680
So the strategy there would be that you

608
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,400
impose steep tariffs.

609
00:20:19,940 --> 00:20:22,520
The dollar is devalued in trade negotiations.

610
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,880
That makes American exports more competitive.

611
00:20:25,660 --> 00:20:28,280
And you also squeeze China, because China holds

612
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:28,940
a lot of debt.

613
00:20:29,380 --> 00:20:32,960
As the dollar becomes cheaper, you're exerting pressure

614
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:33,520
on China.

615
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,420
Now, I don't think that would work at

616
00:20:36,420 --> 00:20:36,640
all.

617
00:20:36,780 --> 00:20:38,300
Very few economists think it would work.

618
00:20:38,660 --> 00:20:41,440
And what are the side effects or the

619
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,100
grave knock-on effects?

620
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:47,460
You have huge inflation for American consumers.

621
00:20:48,060 --> 00:20:49,680
You have a declining dollar.

622
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,500
You have declining American influence within the broader

623
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:53,360
global economy.

624
00:20:53,540 --> 00:20:56,420
So it's just a giant misplaced bet.

625
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,160
But if you try to understand an underlying

626
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,840
rationale, that might be one guess.

627
00:21:02,020 --> 00:21:04,140
I don't think it's a good strategy, but

628
00:21:04,140 --> 00:21:05,320
it's one way of looking at it.

629
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,520
So I think she actually convinced me this

630
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,260
is the way to go.

631
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,840
We need to devalue the daughter, or whatever

632
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:11,340
she said.

633
00:21:13,220 --> 00:21:14,280
Devalue the daughter.

634
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,920
It's like we've been talking about Mar-a

635
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,080
-Lago Accords, i.e. a new Bretton Woods.

636
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,400
If you are the reserve currency of the

637
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,720
world, unless you can roll out those stable

638
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,040
coins, which would have to come next, what

639
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,720
you call the trillion-dollar coin.

640
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,940
The basis behind the stable coin is better

641
00:21:34,940 --> 00:21:36,240
than anything she said.

642
00:21:36,580 --> 00:21:39,440
Right, but it could be a Mar-a

643
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:39,980
-Lago Accord.

644
00:21:39,980 --> 00:21:41,580
Or devalue the dollar to an extreme.

645
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,560
No, but down a little bit would be

646
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,380
okay, wouldn't it?

647
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,660
Yeah, well, it goes up and down.

648
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:47,500
It's been as low.

649
00:21:47,620 --> 00:21:49,640
Right now, I think it's $1.09 or

650
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,460
$1.10. No, it's one.

651
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:52,360
Oh, euros.

652
00:21:52,540 --> 00:21:55,400
Yeah, I'm just talking about the— Well, versus

653
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,560
the euro is really what the benchmark is

654
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,780
for devaluing the dollar.

655
00:21:59,340 --> 00:21:59,760
Oh, really?

656
00:21:59,860 --> 00:22:01,080
Not against anything else?

657
00:22:01,140 --> 00:22:01,700
Just the euro?

658
00:22:01,940 --> 00:22:03,380
The euro would be the benchmark.

659
00:22:03,580 --> 00:22:04,700
Well, that's $1.12 today.

660
00:22:05,660 --> 00:22:07,300
Okay, well, then it's been as high as

661
00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:08,640
$1.20 in the past.

662
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,240
So, the DXY is at $100.

663
00:22:10,380 --> 00:22:12,040
That's the lowest I've seen it in months.

664
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,420
So, the devaluation is happening.

665
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,660
I mean, just a little bit.

666
00:22:18,860 --> 00:22:20,940
And Scott Besant, we have to remember, this

667
00:22:20,940 --> 00:22:23,480
was—he did notice this on the DHM Plug

668
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,660
Show, where Boris tried to trick me as

669
00:22:27,660 --> 00:22:28,600
if I didn't know this.

670
00:22:28,620 --> 00:22:30,960
Oh, I heard you just waiting for him

671
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:31,500
to say it.

672
00:22:31,540 --> 00:22:32,240
Waiting, waiting.

673
00:22:32,500 --> 00:22:34,420
Because all—it was like Glenn Beck.

674
00:22:34,420 --> 00:22:36,480
He's like, well, you know who you work

675
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,280
for, don't you?

676
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,480
Yeah, yeah, of course, Soros.

677
00:22:40,620 --> 00:22:41,860
I think we talked about it on this

678
00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:42,120
show.

679
00:22:42,260 --> 00:22:42,780
Yes, yes.

680
00:22:43,460 --> 00:22:46,960
Yes, he's an acolyte, is the right word.

681
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,480
It's proof that Horowitz no longer listens to

682
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:49,600
us.

683
00:22:49,660 --> 00:22:50,660
He can't stand it.

684
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,400
He can't stand us anymore.

685
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,000
Wow, you're probably right.

686
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,600
Yes, he's been an acolyte of Soros, but

687
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,120
not politically, not like a political ally, which

688
00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:06,940
is we always have to— Loyalist, loyalist, loyalist.

689
00:23:07,380 --> 00:23:10,360
A guy who knows how to manipulate currency.

690
00:23:10,540 --> 00:23:11,880
And that's the guy you want.

691
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:12,460
And take advantage of it.

692
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,540
Yeah, that's the guy you want.

693
00:23:13,620 --> 00:23:17,020
Here's a 30-second clip of, said Scott

694
00:23:17,020 --> 00:23:17,480
Besant.

695
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,780
The successful negotiating strategy that President Trump implemented

696
00:23:21,780 --> 00:23:25,240
a week ago today, it has brought more

697
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,520
than 75 countries forward to negotiate.

698
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,280
It took great courage, great courage, for him

699
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,360
to stay the course until this moment.

700
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,720
These are complicated negotiations.

701
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,160
These are imbalances that have taken decades to

702
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:38,620
create.

703
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:44,260
But I think having seen the maximum level

704
00:23:44,260 --> 00:23:46,520
that Donald Trump is willing to go to,

705
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,360
President Trump has created this negotiating leverage.

706
00:23:50,980 --> 00:23:53,460
I mean, I have friends who have small

707
00:23:53,460 --> 00:23:57,980
businesses, and they email me, We don't—this guy's

708
00:23:57,980 --> 00:23:58,660
no good.

709
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,280
We don't need a game show host as

710
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:01,700
a president.

711
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,460
We need leadership.

712
00:24:03,220 --> 00:24:04,800
Where is the Epstein file?

713
00:24:06,660 --> 00:24:07,880
I swear to God.

714
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:10,300
Well, I have to be on that side

715
00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:11,020
of the argument, too.

716
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,080
I'm in agreement, but it's like, is that

717
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,960
the— So you have a small business, you're

718
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,560
worried about what's happening, but the first thing

719
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,400
you talk about is the Epstein and JFK

720
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:18,800
files.

721
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:19,480
Okay.

722
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,020
So people are being spun up, and I

723
00:24:22,020 --> 00:24:27,580
think it is our job— during COVID—to calm

724
00:24:27,580 --> 00:24:28,940
people down.

725
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:33,240
It's just the media, M5M, is going nuts,

726
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,620
and that includes a lot of wealthy podcasters,

727
00:24:36,860 --> 00:24:40,900
you know, because— Well, I don't even—are they

728
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:41,780
going that nuts?

729
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:42,400
I don't know.

730
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,840
Well— I'm talking about the podcasters.

731
00:24:45,740 --> 00:24:46,160
Yeah.

732
00:24:46,180 --> 00:24:48,560
I mean, the fact that Portnoy—I mean, for

733
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,980
one thing, if you're a podcast— Portnoy, to

734
00:24:51,980 --> 00:24:53,900
say he lost $20 million and it's 10

735
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:56,900
% of his portfolio, it's just like, why

736
00:24:56,900 --> 00:24:59,960
would you—this is like—look how much money I

737
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:00,360
got.

738
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,460
I mean, it's just not—it's gauche.

739
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,380
It's very—gauche is the correct word.

740
00:25:06,660 --> 00:25:06,940
Gauche.

741
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,680
And by the way, Rogan's not in that

742
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:08,900
camp.

743
00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:11,040
They just drag him in, although he said

744
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:11,980
nothing of the sort.

745
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:15,560
Oh, well, Rogan didn't like the gay hairdresser.

746
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:15,980
Okay.

747
00:25:16,940 --> 00:25:17,540
No, no.

748
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:18,380
Makeup artist.

749
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,000
I'm sorry.

750
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:20,260
Makeup— He's changed.

751
00:25:20,260 --> 00:25:22,320
Now I'm confused if it's a gay— He's

752
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:22,780
a gay man.

753
00:25:22,780 --> 00:25:23,300
He's gay.

754
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,760
Why don't we just say the gay?

755
00:25:24,980 --> 00:25:26,140
That he deported the gay.

756
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:27,820
It doesn't matter what— The gay.

757
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,180
I mean— So let's go to some—I've got

758
00:25:30,180 --> 00:25:30,800
some clips.

759
00:25:30,940 --> 00:25:31,260
Yes.

760
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,480
Let's get some analysis.

761
00:25:32,620 --> 00:25:33,480
Let's get some analysis.

762
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,220
Do tell me.

763
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,580
And this is from, guess where?

764
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,880
Ladies and gentlemen, live from London, we bring

765
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,180
you more clips on the No Agenda show

766
00:25:43,180 --> 00:25:44,520
than you'd ever want to hear.

767
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,260
That's right.

768
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,280
The BBC World Service gives you the correct

769
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,420
analysis of what is happening in your world.

770
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,820
Expertly clipped for your convenience by John C.

771
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,240
Moorock on the No Agenda show.

772
00:26:01,590 --> 00:26:02,630
Okay, we're ready.

773
00:26:02,770 --> 00:26:04,690
You know, I think it's—besides that being a

774
00:26:04,690 --> 00:26:06,270
bit long— It's a little long.

775
00:26:06,830 --> 00:26:09,090
I would say the thing, the little kicker

776
00:26:09,090 --> 00:26:11,410
in there that people don't appreciate, I do,

777
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:14,390
is the beep, beep, beep, because that's what

778
00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:14,830
they have.

779
00:26:14,990 --> 00:26:15,370
Classic.

780
00:26:15,370 --> 00:26:16,490
It's classic.

781
00:26:16,530 --> 00:26:18,850
I'm Scotty, and they beep, beep, beep.

782
00:26:18,910 --> 00:26:19,990
They're the stupid beeping.

783
00:26:20,170 --> 00:26:21,010
I can shorten it.

784
00:26:21,070 --> 00:26:22,530
I just like filling it up on the

785
00:26:22,530 --> 00:26:22,810
fly.

786
00:26:22,910 --> 00:26:24,330
It makes me feel like a disco jockey.

787
00:26:25,190 --> 00:26:26,510
Yeah, a disco jockey.

788
00:26:26,550 --> 00:26:26,810
Yes.

789
00:26:27,070 --> 00:26:28,790
So let's start with just the basic news

790
00:26:28,790 --> 00:26:29,110
stories.

791
00:26:29,250 --> 00:26:30,330
This is the Tariff War BBC.

792
00:26:30,910 --> 00:26:31,770
Oh, okay.

793
00:26:31,930 --> 00:26:33,050
Tariff War BBC.

794
00:26:33,310 --> 00:26:33,950
Here we go.

795
00:26:34,210 --> 00:26:36,170
If you ever needed proof that President Trump

796
00:26:36,170 --> 00:26:38,590
can suddenly change his mind on the big

797
00:26:38,590 --> 00:26:42,450
issues, take today's decision on his landmark economic

798
00:26:42,450 --> 00:26:43,790
policy tariffs.

799
00:26:44,010 --> 00:26:46,750
Having effectively declared a trade war on most

800
00:26:46,750 --> 00:26:48,750
of the rest of the world and wiped

801
00:26:48,750 --> 00:26:51,750
several trillion off share values on the international

802
00:26:51,750 --> 00:26:54,850
markets, Donald Trump took to social media two

803
00:26:54,850 --> 00:26:56,910
and a half hours ago to announce a

804
00:26:56,910 --> 00:26:59,510
90-day pause on all tariffs over and

805
00:26:59,510 --> 00:27:01,310
above his 10% baseline.

806
00:27:01,850 --> 00:27:04,430
So all the individually applied extra tariffs are

807
00:27:04,430 --> 00:27:06,590
on hold, except those on China.

808
00:27:07,250 --> 00:27:10,210
That other global economic superpower is the big

809
00:27:10,210 --> 00:27:11,110
exception now.

810
00:27:11,570 --> 00:27:13,770
President Trump has raised the rate on goods

811
00:27:13,770 --> 00:27:17,830
from China to 125%, effective immediately.

812
00:27:18,390 --> 00:27:20,190
A short time ago, the president spoke to

813
00:27:20,190 --> 00:27:21,870
the media, and he was asked to explain

814
00:27:21,870 --> 00:27:24,310
the thinking behind his 90-day pause.

815
00:27:25,090 --> 00:27:28,210
Well, I thought that people were jumping a

816
00:27:28,210 --> 00:27:29,710
little bit out of line.

817
00:27:29,810 --> 00:27:31,870
They were getting yippy, you know.

818
00:27:31,990 --> 00:27:34,090
They were getting a little bit yippy, afraid,

819
00:27:34,930 --> 00:27:35,930
unlike these champions.

820
00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:38,270
Because we have a big job to do.

821
00:27:38,350 --> 00:27:39,950
No other president would have done what I

822
00:27:39,950 --> 00:27:40,150
did.

823
00:27:40,230 --> 00:27:40,910
No other president.

824
00:27:40,970 --> 00:27:41,770
I know the presidents.

825
00:27:41,950 --> 00:27:42,670
They wouldn't have done it.

826
00:27:43,090 --> 00:27:44,170
And it had to be done.

827
00:27:44,270 --> 00:27:47,290
What was happening to us on trade, not

828
00:27:47,290 --> 00:27:49,290
only with, you know, if you look at

829
00:27:49,290 --> 00:27:51,530
it, not only with China, but China was

830
00:27:51,530 --> 00:27:54,710
by far the biggest abuser in history and

831
00:27:54,710 --> 00:27:55,750
others also.

832
00:27:55,990 --> 00:27:58,130
But somebody had to do it.

833
00:27:58,170 --> 00:27:59,370
They had to stop because it was not

834
00:27:59,370 --> 00:27:59,930
sustainable.

835
00:28:00,510 --> 00:28:04,830
Last year, China made $1 trillion off trade

836
00:28:04,830 --> 00:28:05,870
with the United States.

837
00:28:05,950 --> 00:28:07,090
That's not right.

838
00:28:07,770 --> 00:28:08,930
And now I've reversed it.

839
00:28:09,010 --> 00:28:10,910
It's for a short period of time, but

840
00:28:10,910 --> 00:28:12,930
we made $2 billion.

841
00:28:13,310 --> 00:28:15,250
We're making now $2 billion a day.

842
00:28:17,490 --> 00:28:19,150
And somebody had to do it.

843
00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:20,790
They got a little bit yippy.

844
00:28:22,070 --> 00:28:22,290
Yippy.

845
00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:22,950
Yeah, let's go.

846
00:28:23,230 --> 00:28:24,890
Might as well explain that term.

847
00:28:24,950 --> 00:28:26,130
Is that the golf term?

848
00:28:26,930 --> 00:28:29,030
No, it's well, yeah, it's a golf term.

849
00:28:29,030 --> 00:28:31,770
But it's also, gymnastics uses it a lot.

850
00:28:32,350 --> 00:28:32,890
The yips.

851
00:28:33,030 --> 00:28:33,650
You got the yips.

852
00:28:33,890 --> 00:28:36,470
You get the yips, which means you all

853
00:28:36,470 --> 00:28:38,270
of a sudden start thinking about the fact

854
00:28:38,270 --> 00:28:40,370
that you're flying in the air and you're

855
00:28:40,370 --> 00:28:42,590
out of control and you can kill yourself.

856
00:28:44,150 --> 00:28:45,290
Yeah, on that bar.

857
00:28:46,210 --> 00:28:48,950
And so you decide, you get nervous and

858
00:28:48,950 --> 00:28:51,170
you start thinking about what you're doing instead

859
00:28:51,170 --> 00:28:51,770
of just doing it.

860
00:28:51,850 --> 00:28:53,170
Yeah, that's what Michelle was.

861
00:28:53,750 --> 00:28:55,810
I think he was talking in front of

862
00:28:55,810 --> 00:28:58,090
the LA Dodgers when he was giving this

863
00:28:58,090 --> 00:28:58,770
press conference.

864
00:28:58,770 --> 00:29:00,270
Ah, okay, that makes sense.

865
00:29:00,270 --> 00:29:01,770
Like the idea of using some technicalities.

866
00:29:02,790 --> 00:29:03,790
Sports analogy, yes.

867
00:29:03,990 --> 00:29:04,970
Some sports stuff.

868
00:29:05,070 --> 00:29:06,090
Some sports stuff, yes.

869
00:29:08,070 --> 00:29:11,070
But what's interesting about this 90-day pause

870
00:29:11,070 --> 00:29:12,810
is that that was the rumor, I think,

871
00:29:12,870 --> 00:29:15,570
the day or the day before that, that

872
00:29:15,570 --> 00:29:18,150
jacked the market up 1,500 points at

873
00:29:18,150 --> 00:29:18,690
the opening.

874
00:29:18,830 --> 00:29:19,770
It says, oh, he's going to give a

875
00:29:19,770 --> 00:29:21,790
90-day pause and jacked way up.

876
00:29:21,870 --> 00:29:23,290
And then they had to come out with

877
00:29:23,290 --> 00:29:25,350
this comment, no, no, no, we're not, no,

878
00:29:25,490 --> 00:29:26,690
in fact, we're going to do this and

879
00:29:26,690 --> 00:29:26,970
that.

880
00:29:27,670 --> 00:29:29,770
Caroline Leavitt had to say something.

881
00:29:30,130 --> 00:29:31,790
And it sunk the market.

882
00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:33,870
So this was in play.

883
00:29:34,150 --> 00:29:36,350
So this rumor that came out a couple

884
00:29:36,350 --> 00:29:39,330
of days early was already, this was all

885
00:29:39,330 --> 00:29:40,050
schemed.

886
00:29:40,230 --> 00:29:42,090
In fact, the clip that I don't have.

887
00:29:42,530 --> 00:29:43,310
I have a question.

888
00:29:43,930 --> 00:29:46,890
Was Horowitz in on the gambit?

889
00:29:47,050 --> 00:29:49,290
Did he buy when it skyrocketed?

890
00:29:49,330 --> 00:29:51,310
Did he go short when it tanked?

891
00:29:51,830 --> 00:29:53,530
No, he's too busy complaining.

892
00:29:56,970 --> 00:29:57,930
I'm going to get a call.

893
00:29:58,350 --> 00:29:59,310
Yeah, maybe.

894
00:29:59,570 --> 00:30:00,350
I'm going to get a call.

895
00:30:00,770 --> 00:30:01,130
Maybe.

896
00:30:01,270 --> 00:30:04,170
Well, I think you're justified in the commentary

897
00:30:04,170 --> 00:30:05,670
that he didn't plug the show.

898
00:30:06,450 --> 00:30:06,930
Exactly.

899
00:30:07,790 --> 00:30:10,250
To plug the show or your ass is

900
00:30:10,250 --> 00:30:11,090
grass, Horowitz.

901
00:30:11,910 --> 00:30:15,610
So the point is that, and I don't

902
00:30:15,610 --> 00:30:17,770
have the clip, and you probably don't have

903
00:30:17,770 --> 00:30:17,870
it.

904
00:30:17,910 --> 00:30:19,310
I wish we had it, which is that

905
00:30:19,310 --> 00:30:23,570
Scott Besant's commentary that this whole thing was

906
00:30:23,570 --> 00:30:24,810
a grand scheme.

907
00:30:25,410 --> 00:30:25,830
It was planned.

908
00:30:25,830 --> 00:30:26,350
It was planned, yes.

909
00:30:26,530 --> 00:30:27,110
I don't have it.

910
00:30:27,310 --> 00:30:28,230
It was planned, and I think it was

911
00:30:28,230 --> 00:30:29,930
because of the fact that a couple of

912
00:30:29,930 --> 00:30:32,170
days earlier, it jacked the market up, and

913
00:30:32,170 --> 00:30:34,290
then it disappeared because somebody leaked it.

914
00:30:34,890 --> 00:30:37,350
But the whole thing was a scheme to

915
00:30:37,350 --> 00:30:39,770
trap, and Besant said to use the word

916
00:30:39,770 --> 00:30:40,370
trap.

917
00:30:40,730 --> 00:30:42,570
The Chinese trapped them.

918
00:30:42,710 --> 00:30:43,790
It was a bear trap.

919
00:30:45,170 --> 00:30:47,370
No, bear trap is specific to the market.

920
00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:48,150
Yeah, that's what he said.

921
00:30:48,810 --> 00:30:51,350
It was just to trap them into a

922
00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:53,450
situation where they look like the bad guys.

923
00:30:53,450 --> 00:30:56,130
And I think it worked, and I think

924
00:30:56,130 --> 00:30:57,790
it's going to work out that way.

925
00:30:58,210 --> 00:31:00,790
But as we get through these BBC clips

926
00:31:00,790 --> 00:31:04,810
where there's analysis coming up from, again, this

927
00:31:04,810 --> 00:31:08,210
is interesting, again, from an economist person.

928
00:31:08,430 --> 00:31:08,770
Oh, interesting.

929
00:31:09,430 --> 00:31:10,730
From the magazine.

930
00:31:11,550 --> 00:31:13,550
And as soon as they announced this, oh,

931
00:31:13,590 --> 00:31:14,930
this is going to be some good anti

932
00:31:14,930 --> 00:31:15,550
-Trump stuff.

933
00:31:15,630 --> 00:31:17,090
But no, it wasn't, it turns out.

934
00:31:17,150 --> 00:31:18,450
But let's listen to this part two of

935
00:31:18,450 --> 00:31:20,210
the basic overview.

936
00:31:20,210 --> 00:31:22,930
Mr. Trump gave more details on how this

937
00:31:22,930 --> 00:31:25,510
latest decision would affect different countries.

938
00:31:26,210 --> 00:31:27,750
I did a 90-day pause for the

939
00:31:27,750 --> 00:31:30,550
people that didn't retaliate, because I told them

940
00:31:30,550 --> 00:31:32,310
if you retaliate, we're going to double it.

941
00:31:33,030 --> 00:31:34,730
And that's what I did with China, because

942
00:31:34,730 --> 00:31:35,220
they did retaliate.

943
00:31:36,430 --> 00:31:38,130
So we'll see how it all works out.

944
00:31:38,170 --> 00:31:39,430
I think it's going to work out amazing.

945
00:31:39,610 --> 00:31:40,790
I think that our country is going to

946
00:31:40,790 --> 00:31:43,430
be at the end of a year or

947
00:31:43,430 --> 00:31:44,730
shorter, but I think we're going to have

948
00:31:44,730 --> 00:31:47,370
something that nobody would have dreamt possible.

949
00:31:47,870 --> 00:31:50,250
He was asked whether chaos on the bond

950
00:31:50,250 --> 00:31:52,350
markets had influenced his thinking.

951
00:31:52,690 --> 00:31:54,310
The bond market is very tricky.

952
00:31:54,470 --> 00:31:55,830
I was watching it, but if you look

953
00:31:55,830 --> 00:31:58,710
at it now, it's beautiful.

954
00:31:59,090 --> 00:32:01,010
The bond market right now is beautiful.

955
00:32:01,190 --> 00:32:01,350
Beautiful.

956
00:32:01,790 --> 00:32:04,270
But, yeah, I saw last night where people

957
00:32:04,270 --> 00:32:05,330
were getting a little queasy.

958
00:32:05,950 --> 00:32:07,430
Well, the big move wasn't what I did

959
00:32:07,430 --> 00:32:07,710
today.

960
00:32:07,830 --> 00:32:09,490
The big move was what I did on

961
00:32:09,490 --> 00:32:10,270
Liberation Day.

962
00:32:10,790 --> 00:32:12,410
We had Liberation Day in America.

963
00:32:12,570 --> 00:32:14,830
We were liberated from all of the horrible

964
00:32:14,830 --> 00:32:15,710
deals that were made.

965
00:32:15,710 --> 00:32:18,770
So countries around the world are suddenly having

966
00:32:18,770 --> 00:32:21,490
to rethink their responses to what had been

967
00:32:21,490 --> 00:32:23,990
and probably what still is being threatened.

968
00:32:24,330 --> 00:32:27,110
There is more time to negotiate, but was

969
00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:31,210
this a climb-down or a deliberate strategy?

970
00:32:31,770 --> 00:32:33,510
And how is it being perceived in Washington?

971
00:32:33,690 --> 00:32:36,350
I talked to Jake Kwan, who's the BBC's

972
00:32:36,350 --> 00:32:38,630
North America correspondent in the US Capitol.

973
00:32:39,390 --> 00:32:41,210
Well, the White House would certainly love to

974
00:32:41,210 --> 00:32:44,970
present this as a masterful stroke that it

975
00:32:44,970 --> 00:32:46,190
is not a capitulation.

976
00:32:46,490 --> 00:32:49,850
There has been growing calls by the industry

977
00:32:49,850 --> 00:32:52,870
leaders and financial investors and even some of

978
00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:55,530
the Republican congressmen and women who have been

979
00:32:55,530 --> 00:32:58,610
voicing their concern at this tariff and the

980
00:32:58,610 --> 00:32:59,710
trade war that's happening.

981
00:33:00,390 --> 00:33:02,330
But the White House's message is that all

982
00:33:02,330 --> 00:33:04,570
the world, the 75 countries around the world,

983
00:33:04,790 --> 00:33:07,290
are crawling to the White House, crawling to

984
00:33:07,290 --> 00:33:09,310
Mr. Trump, trying to get a better deal,

985
00:33:09,630 --> 00:33:12,390
something that will be advantageous to the US,

986
00:33:12,390 --> 00:33:14,890
and that he is a master negotiator and

987
00:33:14,890 --> 00:33:17,690
these tariffs has been the plan all along

988
00:33:17,690 --> 00:33:19,150
to get a deal for the US.

989
00:33:19,610 --> 00:33:22,330
And of course, all this is a response

990
00:33:22,330 --> 00:33:24,510
to the allies coming to the US with

991
00:33:24,510 --> 00:33:25,070
a goodwill.

992
00:33:25,670 --> 00:33:28,150
Before you continue with the analysis, may I

993
00:33:28,150 --> 00:33:30,650
just play a short classic clip since the

994
00:33:30,650 --> 00:33:32,950
president keeps saying that he's the only one,

995
00:33:33,490 --> 00:33:34,670
he's the only one who had the guts,

996
00:33:35,190 --> 00:33:37,110
which is arguably true.

997
00:33:38,710 --> 00:33:40,350
I'm just going to say, before you play

998
00:33:40,350 --> 00:33:41,550
that, I want to say something about this

999
00:33:41,550 --> 00:33:42,130
last clip.

1000
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,400
This is what bothers me about the mainstream

1001
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:47,940
media.

1002
00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:50,080
They're not paying attention.

1003
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,140
When Trump says, well, we just did the

1004
00:33:52,140 --> 00:33:54,100
90-day thing to see who is going

1005
00:33:54,100 --> 00:33:55,920
to retaliate, we're going to jack it up

1006
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,600
on them, they're going to screw over anyone

1007
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,320
who tries to retaliate, and then the Chinese,

1008
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:00,440
of course, retaliated.

1009
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,660
What's never mentioned is that the Europeans retaliated

1010
00:34:03,660 --> 00:34:03,940
too.

1011
00:34:03,940 --> 00:34:08,480
But why isn't he doing it to them

1012
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,659
too, if what he says is true?

1013
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,380
They're always trying to catch him in a

1014
00:34:13,380 --> 00:34:15,460
lie or something, and there is a wide

1015
00:34:15,460 --> 00:34:17,659
open one right here, right down the middle

1016
00:34:17,659 --> 00:34:20,340
of the plate, to use a sports analogy,

1017
00:34:20,500 --> 00:34:22,179
and nobody says anything about it.

1018
00:34:22,380 --> 00:34:28,940
So the Europeans retaliated to the initial...

1019
00:34:30,460 --> 00:34:32,719
I have a clip on it, if you

1020
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,639
want to pause before the analysis.

1021
00:34:34,780 --> 00:34:36,400
I can wait until after your BBC stuff,

1022
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:37,139
whatever you want to do.

1023
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:39,060
No, no, you play your clips.

1024
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,820
This is a very awkward situation for the

1025
00:34:41,820 --> 00:34:42,440
European Union.

1026
00:34:42,620 --> 00:34:45,540
President Trump said the reason he was pausing

1027
00:34:45,540 --> 00:34:48,520
the extra tariffs, the tariffs beyond 10%

1028
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,400
for all of the 60 naughty countries except

1029
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,860
China, was because no one retaliated except China.

1030
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,380
The problem is the EU did retaliate.

1031
00:34:57,380 --> 00:35:00,960
Just yesterday, national governments took a vote approving

1032
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,180
retaliatory tariffs against 20 billion euros worth of

1033
00:35:05,180 --> 00:35:07,580
U.S. imports, and those are supposed to

1034
00:35:07,580 --> 00:35:08,780
take effect on Tuesday.

1035
00:35:08,780 --> 00:35:08,880
Where's this from?

1036
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,340
This is France 24.

1037
00:35:11,140 --> 00:35:13,080
You see, American media did not pick this

1038
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:13,360
up.

1039
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:14,340
No, of course not.

1040
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,380
But it's funny when you hear what actually

1041
00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:16,760
happened.

1042
00:35:17,020 --> 00:35:21,480
Approving retaliatory tariffs against 20 billion euros worth

1043
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,920
of U.S. imports, and those are supposed

1044
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,560
to take effect on Tuesday.

1045
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:30,120
However, those retaliatory tariffs are not for the

1046
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,160
20% Liberation Day tariffs that Trump unveiled

1047
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:33,660
last week.

1048
00:35:33,780 --> 00:35:37,060
It's a delayed reaction to the 25%

1049
00:35:37,060 --> 00:35:40,020
tariff on steel and aluminum that Trump had

1050
00:35:40,020 --> 00:35:41,540
put in place in February.

1051
00:35:42,020 --> 00:35:44,160
Essentially, it's just kind of a coincidence that

1052
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,760
the vote took place yesterday.

1053
00:35:46,260 --> 00:35:47,280
Did you see what happened there?

1054
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,640
Yeah, that's a good bit.

1055
00:35:49,820 --> 00:35:49,960
Yeah.

1056
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,060
Okay.

1057
00:35:55,500 --> 00:35:56,960
It's their way out.

1058
00:35:57,180 --> 00:35:57,620
Good one.

1059
00:35:58,340 --> 00:35:58,800
Well, yeah.

1060
00:36:00,420 --> 00:36:02,500
They have lots of problems, but let's go

1061
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:03,880
back to your BBC, and I'll play other

1062
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:04,340
stuff later.

1063
00:36:04,460 --> 00:36:06,760
I want to hear your analysis clips because

1064
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,340
this is anal stuff.

1065
00:36:08,380 --> 00:36:10,040
Yeah, so they bring this guy in from

1066
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,600
the— This is actually pretty good because I

1067
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:18,200
think all these three clips here, the joke

1068
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,280
is, of course, they do bring the Apple

1069
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,260
thing back.

1070
00:36:21,260 --> 00:36:21,940
Of course.

1071
00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:23,960
Your iPhone's going to go up.

1072
00:36:24,140 --> 00:36:25,260
Hey, how about this?

1073
00:36:25,540 --> 00:36:29,500
How about Apple just takes half the profits?

1074
00:36:29,820 --> 00:36:30,380
Oh, boy.

1075
00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:33,700
Yeah, because their margins are ridiculous as it

1076
00:36:33,700 --> 00:36:34,020
is.

1077
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,880
Yes, because they have slave labor in China.

1078
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:36,940
Yeah.

1079
00:36:37,020 --> 00:36:38,660
Yeah, pay your fair share, elites.

1080
00:36:39,620 --> 00:36:40,940
Actually, there's four clips here.

1081
00:36:40,980 --> 00:36:41,960
They're short, but here we go.

1082
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:42,900
One of them is long.

1083
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:43,780
Here we go.

1084
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,960
There might be a reprieve on tariffs for

1085
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,700
other sovereign nations, but for China, things have

1086
00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:51,420
got worse, with the U.S. import charge

1087
00:36:51,420 --> 00:36:54,360
raised immediately to 125%.

1088
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,040
I asked David Rennie in Washington how Beijing

1089
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,300
would react to being singled out in such

1090
00:37:00,300 --> 00:37:01,360
a dramatic fashion.

1091
00:37:01,820 --> 00:37:05,380
He's geopolitics editor at The Economist magazine, and

1092
00:37:05,380 --> 00:37:07,340
he was in the Chinese capital last week

1093
00:37:07,340 --> 00:37:09,400
talking to scholars and government officials.

1094
00:37:10,140 --> 00:37:12,260
I think there is a political logic to

1095
00:37:12,260 --> 00:37:14,940
this, that Donald Trump came to office believing

1096
00:37:14,940 --> 00:37:18,180
that globalization has been a terrible deal for

1097
00:37:18,180 --> 00:37:20,540
America going back decades, and by far the

1098
00:37:20,540 --> 00:37:23,120
biggest offender is China, and that's been a

1099
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,720
consistent position of his.

1100
00:37:25,180 --> 00:37:26,620
So I don't think this should surprise us,

1101
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,160
and I think it certainly doesn't surprise the

1102
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:28,620
Chinese.

1103
00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:32,300
But why should China plan any specific policy

1104
00:37:32,300 --> 00:37:35,220
in response when it's now clear that President

1105
00:37:35,220 --> 00:37:36,960
Trump could change his mind in the next

1106
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:37,320
hour?

1107
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,600
So Chinese officials and Chinese scholars say that

1108
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,400
that is the hardest thing for their system

1109
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:42,940
to deal with.

1110
00:37:42,940 --> 00:37:45,020
China likes to plan, it likes five-year

1111
00:37:45,020 --> 00:37:47,140
plans, and it finds it very hard to

1112
00:37:47,140 --> 00:37:50,200
deal with this mercurial, transactional American president.

1113
00:37:50,580 --> 00:37:52,780
That said, they had plenty of warning that

1114
00:37:52,780 --> 00:37:54,220
he might well be back in the White

1115
00:37:54,220 --> 00:37:57,420
House, and that he was campaigning on threats

1116
00:37:57,420 --> 00:37:59,120
of imposing big tariffs on China.

1117
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:02,260
So they've been preparing really carefully for a

1118
00:38:02,260 --> 00:38:02,780
long time.

1119
00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:04,200
I believe that to be true.

1120
00:38:05,260 --> 00:38:05,700
Yes.

1121
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,300
Yeah, they knew what was going on.

1122
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,820
But you're right, the media wants to make,

1123
00:38:09,820 --> 00:38:12,320
and it's working because people I know and

1124
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,340
respect are saying, he's just a game show

1125
00:38:14,340 --> 00:38:15,780
host, he's just doing what, he doesn't know

1126
00:38:15,780 --> 00:38:17,680
what he's doing, he's just making stuff up

1127
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,160
and pulling it off and doing it.

1128
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:20,940
It's so much more sophisticated.

1129
00:38:24,830 --> 00:38:30,950
Oh yeah, by far, it's beyond immediate comprehension.

1130
00:38:31,930 --> 00:38:33,450
The guy's no slouch.

1131
00:38:33,470 --> 00:38:34,930
You have to be brilliant.

1132
00:38:36,470 --> 00:38:37,790
You've got to have a big brain.

1133
00:38:40,460 --> 00:38:40,820
Next.

1134
00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:44,020
They've been doing short-term America-specific defensive

1135
00:38:44,020 --> 00:38:47,700
kind of preparations, and some longer-term sort

1136
00:38:47,700 --> 00:38:50,000
of attempts to reshape and rebalance their entire

1137
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,760
economy, away from this incredibly high dependence on

1138
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:54,340
exports.

1139
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,060
So if you look at the short-term

1140
00:38:56,060 --> 00:38:58,640
America defenses, they've been sort of getting ready.

1141
00:38:58,820 --> 00:39:00,120
When I was in Beijing, we were told

1142
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,480
that nine different government ministries and agencies had

1143
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,000
been looking, if we need to hit back

1144
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,420
at an American tariff, what can we target

1145
00:39:07,420 --> 00:39:10,060
that is going to hurt Trump voters and

1146
00:39:10,060 --> 00:39:11,160
get Trump's attention?

1147
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,440
And we can buy that stuff from somewhere

1148
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:14,620
else.

1149
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,900
So they chose soybeans as a classic example.

1150
00:39:17,220 --> 00:39:19,340
It's grown in farm states in the Midwest

1151
00:39:19,340 --> 00:39:21,460
of America, full of Trump voters.

1152
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:23,720
And in fact, you know, China used to

1153
00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:25,140
buy a lot of American soybeans, but they

1154
00:39:25,140 --> 00:39:26,740
can get them from Brazil, they can get

1155
00:39:26,740 --> 00:39:28,040
from Argentina.

1156
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,700
As it happens, the tariffs came in at

1157
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:34,220
such a high level that actually China's response

1158
00:39:34,220 --> 00:39:37,220
has been pretty much across the board retaliatory

1159
00:39:37,220 --> 00:39:40,400
tariffs on American goods and some pretty tough

1160
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,340
shots across the bows of some American companies

1161
00:39:43,340 --> 00:39:46,560
that are now being investigated by Chinese regulators.

1162
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,280
Once you start going down that path, you

1163
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,340
realize that China can actually impose really serious

1164
00:39:52,340 --> 00:39:54,220
pain on some of the most important companies

1165
00:39:54,220 --> 00:39:55,000
in America.

1166
00:39:55,100 --> 00:39:58,460
Take Apple, which is incredibly dependent on China

1167
00:39:58,460 --> 00:40:00,160
as a place to make things like iPhones,

1168
00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:01,620
but also as an important market.

1169
00:40:01,740 --> 00:40:03,820
They haven't gone after Apple yet, but everyone

1170
00:40:03,820 --> 00:40:05,880
knows that that's the kind of thing China

1171
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,800
could do if this gets really rough.

1172
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,680
I got to tell you, I really don't

1173
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:12,700
care about Apple.

1174
00:40:13,900 --> 00:40:16,160
It's like they've been riding high for so

1175
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:16,640
long.

1176
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,480
They're hoity-toity.

1177
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,040
They think their poop don't stink.

1178
00:40:21,340 --> 00:40:24,040
I really, I mean, sorry for the people

1179
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:29,200
who are there for their options, but come

1180
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:29,680
on.

1181
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,940
They're printing money in Cupertino, printing it.

1182
00:40:34,220 --> 00:40:35,800
Take one for the team, Apple.

1183
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,880
Well, Dell is another company that's highly invested

1184
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:40,800
in China.

1185
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,540
I think a lot of their laptops and

1186
00:40:43,540 --> 00:40:44,940
other products are made there.

1187
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,200
I think HP, this stuff comes out of

1188
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:48,980
China, of course.

1189
00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:50,560
Well, buy a Gateway.

1190
00:40:51,540 --> 00:40:52,060
Who owns those?

1191
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,220
They're not even in business that I know

1192
00:40:54,220 --> 00:40:54,320
of.

1193
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,120
Remember the cow computer, Gateway.

1194
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,080
And then who else is there?

1195
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,300
Tesla's got a big factory there.

1196
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,740
They can get rid of them.

1197
00:41:03,140 --> 00:41:04,180
Of course, UIDs.

1198
00:41:04,180 --> 00:41:06,920
They have Walmart.

1199
00:41:08,020 --> 00:41:11,620
They've got big, big outfits there in Wuhan.

1200
00:41:14,470 --> 00:41:16,890
The Chinese have got us over a barrel

1201
00:41:16,890 --> 00:41:20,490
if they wanted to really do some damage.

1202
00:41:20,750 --> 00:41:26,230
But as this guy continues, there's some geopolitical

1203
00:41:26,230 --> 00:41:28,450
issues that China must be aware of.

1204
00:41:28,590 --> 00:41:29,570
At least he thinks so.

1205
00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:32,190
So there's a lot left in their arsenal

1206
00:41:32,190 --> 00:41:34,490
in terms of how they could hit the

1207
00:41:34,490 --> 00:41:35,450
U.S. economically.

1208
00:41:35,450 --> 00:41:36,750
What about rare earths?

1209
00:41:36,790 --> 00:41:38,570
They have a near global monopoly on some

1210
00:41:38,570 --> 00:41:39,050
of those.

1211
00:41:39,730 --> 00:41:41,930
Yes, so China has a near monopoly on

1212
00:41:41,930 --> 00:41:44,090
the processing of rare earths.

1213
00:41:44,150 --> 00:41:45,650
And some of those are incredibly important in

1214
00:41:45,650 --> 00:41:48,390
not just green tech, but also satellites, high

1215
00:41:48,390 --> 00:41:48,970
-end electronics.

1216
00:41:49,610 --> 00:41:51,810
All kinds of modern technologies need those rare

1217
00:41:51,810 --> 00:41:51,950
earths.

1218
00:41:52,050 --> 00:41:53,450
So that's a real threat.

1219
00:41:53,930 --> 00:41:55,870
So those are all the defensive measures that

1220
00:41:55,870 --> 00:41:57,890
China is willing to make if it has

1221
00:41:57,890 --> 00:41:59,010
to against America.

1222
00:41:59,110 --> 00:42:00,210
And the other thing we've seen from the

1223
00:42:00,210 --> 00:42:04,130
Chinese is a really strong propaganda push internally

1224
00:42:04,130 --> 00:42:06,890
that China need not be terrified of this,

1225
00:42:07,010 --> 00:42:08,610
that the sky won't fall.

1226
00:42:08,710 --> 00:42:10,750
That was the language you saw from the

1227
00:42:10,750 --> 00:42:13,310
most important Communist Party mouthpiece, the People's Daily

1228
00:42:13,310 --> 00:42:13,750
newspaper.

1229
00:42:14,190 --> 00:42:17,070
And their argument is, after years of decoupling,

1230
00:42:17,150 --> 00:42:19,830
going back to the first Trump administration, America's

1231
00:42:19,830 --> 00:42:22,710
an important market for Chinese exports, but it's

1232
00:42:22,710 --> 00:42:24,790
not nearly as important as it was.

1233
00:42:24,810 --> 00:42:27,390
It's now below 15% of Chinese exports.

1234
00:42:27,710 --> 00:42:29,630
So we have no real way of knowing

1235
00:42:29,630 --> 00:42:32,610
how far President Trump will take this big

1236
00:42:32,610 --> 00:42:34,050
fight with China.

1237
00:42:34,230 --> 00:42:37,070
Should we take Beijing at its word when

1238
00:42:37,070 --> 00:42:38,930
it says it will fight to the end?

1239
00:42:39,190 --> 00:42:41,090
I think actually the strange thing is that

1240
00:42:41,090 --> 00:42:43,530
although the tariffs are unbelievably high and the

1241
00:42:43,530 --> 00:42:46,830
rhetoric is extremely fierce, I don't think we

1242
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:49,210
should exclude the possibility that the two countries

1243
00:42:49,210 --> 00:42:51,350
end up trying to cut some sort of

1244
00:42:51,350 --> 00:42:51,490
deal.

1245
00:42:51,590 --> 00:42:53,710
Remember, we saw them cutting a deal.

1246
00:42:53,770 --> 00:42:55,250
It didn't really work out in the end

1247
00:42:55,250 --> 00:42:56,410
in the first Trump administration.

1248
00:42:56,730 --> 00:42:59,450
But I think that beneath the bluster and

1249
00:42:59,450 --> 00:43:03,430
beneath the domestic politics, both countries do have

1250
00:43:03,430 --> 00:43:05,890
an interest in climbing down from this.

1251
00:43:06,430 --> 00:43:06,950
Of course.

1252
00:43:07,970 --> 00:43:08,450
Of course.

1253
00:43:08,610 --> 00:43:11,470
And all the Chinese have is, you're not

1254
00:43:11,470 --> 00:43:12,110
respectful.

1255
00:43:12,290 --> 00:43:14,310
You're not speaking respectful to us.

1256
00:43:14,650 --> 00:43:16,310
We're not going to talk to you, you

1257
00:43:16,310 --> 00:43:16,530
bully.

1258
00:43:17,330 --> 00:43:18,370
That's all they're saying.

1259
00:43:19,350 --> 00:43:21,250
Trump has made it clear that they're going

1260
00:43:21,250 --> 00:43:21,730
to talk.

1261
00:43:21,910 --> 00:43:22,710
Of course.

1262
00:43:23,350 --> 00:43:23,970
Of course.

1263
00:43:25,890 --> 00:43:28,110
Which will be important to a lot of

1264
00:43:29,570 --> 00:43:30,410
iPhone owners.

1265
00:43:34,070 --> 00:43:35,770
It's all about the iPhone, man.

1266
00:43:35,830 --> 00:43:37,010
It's all anyone talks about.

1267
00:43:37,190 --> 00:43:38,490
I don't get it.

1268
00:43:39,850 --> 00:43:42,150
Because that's the only thing they can do.

1269
00:43:42,370 --> 00:43:44,870
I mean, the fact is, start looking at

1270
00:43:44,870 --> 00:43:46,030
the products around you.

1271
00:43:47,630 --> 00:43:48,110
No, you're right.

1272
00:43:48,310 --> 00:43:49,990
It's not the iPhone that's the issue, believe

1273
00:43:49,990 --> 00:43:50,410
me.

1274
00:43:50,590 --> 00:43:52,990
No, but the iPhone is the one thing.

1275
00:43:53,390 --> 00:43:54,690
This is the way I read it.

1276
00:43:55,470 --> 00:43:57,350
People who have an iPhone, and let's face

1277
00:43:57,350 --> 00:43:58,650
it, a lot of Americans have an iPhone.

1278
00:43:58,850 --> 00:44:00,010
It's a status symbol.

1279
00:44:00,250 --> 00:44:01,230
It's something you need to have.

1280
00:44:01,810 --> 00:44:03,710
It's an overpriced status symbol.

1281
00:44:03,790 --> 00:44:03,910
Yes.

1282
00:44:04,630 --> 00:44:07,630
And the minute you say you won't be

1283
00:44:07,630 --> 00:44:10,130
able to afford it, people care about that.

1284
00:44:10,190 --> 00:44:13,050
I think people would rather buy an iPhone

1285
00:44:13,050 --> 00:44:14,130
than toilet paper.

1286
00:44:14,350 --> 00:44:15,130
I'm telling you.

1287
00:44:16,130 --> 00:44:18,550
That's because, yeah, you take a look around

1288
00:44:18,550 --> 00:44:18,790
you.

1289
00:44:18,870 --> 00:44:19,350
Yeah, sure.

1290
00:44:19,590 --> 00:44:21,750
Okay, so I can't have a new big

1291
00:44:21,750 --> 00:44:22,830
flat screen TV.

1292
00:44:22,830 --> 00:44:25,810
So I can't have some cheap clothes that

1293
00:44:25,810 --> 00:44:26,370
are toxic.

1294
00:44:27,030 --> 00:44:29,610
I don't hear anyone talking about the stuff

1295
00:44:29,610 --> 00:44:31,570
that, oh, what am I going to do

1296
00:44:31,570 --> 00:44:32,430
without that?

1297
00:44:35,700 --> 00:44:36,580
Your computer.

1298
00:44:37,220 --> 00:44:38,160
Who needs it?

1299
00:44:38,420 --> 00:44:39,040
Who needs it?

1300
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:39,920
I don't need a computer.

1301
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:43,780
The keyboard is made in China.

1302
00:44:43,780 --> 00:44:45,580
The point is, I have a computer.

1303
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,280
The mouse is in China.

1304
00:44:47,300 --> 00:44:47,460
It's good.

1305
00:44:47,460 --> 00:44:49,220
Yeah, when you need to replace the keyboard,

1306
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:50,840
you're going to pay $300 for it.

1307
00:44:51,380 --> 00:44:52,120
Oh, really?

1308
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:52,780
$300?

1309
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,080
I don't think so.

1310
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,460
It's not going to be $300.

1311
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,560
Your point is made, but it's like, okay,

1312
00:44:58,660 --> 00:45:00,480
so we'll just buy less crap from China.

1313
00:45:00,660 --> 00:45:01,880
I just don't see it.

1314
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:07,300
We've gotten hooked on Chinese plastic opioids.

1315
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,460
But you've gotten hooked on China.

1316
00:45:11,660 --> 00:45:11,940
Yes.

1317
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,320
The iPhone is just one small element.

1318
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,020
But here's the interesting clip.

1319
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:21,080
This is, I think, kind of a kicker

1320
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,260
here, which will result in some deal being

1321
00:45:24,260 --> 00:45:24,560
done.

1322
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,500
And China also has the additional problem that

1323
00:45:27,500 --> 00:45:30,100
if America really stays closed off to Chinese

1324
00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:32,940
exports, those exports are going to have to

1325
00:45:32,940 --> 00:45:33,840
go somewhere else.

1326
00:45:34,020 --> 00:45:36,760
And China is already very concerned, I was

1327
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,560
told in Beijing, by the idea that they

1328
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,280
could end up really alienating and aggravating places

1329
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,200
like Europe, even partners in Latin America, the

1330
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,000
Global South, because if a tidal wave of

1331
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,040
Chinese exports ends up swamping those markets and

1332
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,820
damaging employment and jobs in lots of countries

1333
00:45:53,820 --> 00:45:55,880
around the world because it can't be sold

1334
00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:00,000
in America, that's a massive diplomatic and geopolitical

1335
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,360
headache for the Chinese leadership.

1336
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,020
Ah, we don't coordinate these things, but the

1337
00:46:05,020 --> 00:46:07,480
clip I have lined up is exactly that.

1338
00:46:07,700 --> 00:46:10,520
Yesterday we had a phone call between EU

1339
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,620
President Ursula von der Leyen and the Chinese

1340
00:46:12,620 --> 00:46:16,120
premier specifically about how to avoid dumping of

1341
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,120
products from China.

1342
00:46:17,260 --> 00:46:18,960
So that would be products that China was

1343
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,420
intending, to Chinese companies, were intending to export

1344
00:46:22,420 --> 00:46:23,140
to the United States.

1345
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,400
Many will now be diverted and a lot

1346
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:26,740
will come here to the European Union.

1347
00:46:27,060 --> 00:46:28,380
And if they all get dumped onto the

1348
00:46:28,380 --> 00:46:29,680
market, that could be a major problem.

1349
00:46:29,780 --> 00:46:31,940
So the Commission is setting up emergency measures

1350
00:46:31,940 --> 00:46:33,420
right now to watch for that dumping.

1351
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:35,180
And if they see it happening with certain

1352
00:46:35,180 --> 00:46:37,900
products, they'll put in policies to stop the

1353
00:46:37,900 --> 00:46:38,680
flow of those products.

1354
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,800
But they want to work with China on

1355
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,100
preventing that from happening.

1356
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,840
So tell me, tell me about this dumping.

1357
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,520
What happens, first of all, so China has

1358
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,240
product, they can't send it to the US,

1359
00:46:49,240 --> 00:46:51,300
so they send it cheap to the EU.

1360
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:52,960
What exactly happens in this scenario?

1361
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:53,800
Yeah, there you go.

1362
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:54,600
You just nailed it.

1363
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:55,820
That's exactly what happens.

1364
00:46:56,100 --> 00:46:57,880
And then what happens, what happens in the

1365
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:57,980
EU?

1366
00:46:57,980 --> 00:46:59,960
Then they swamp the EU, businesses go out

1367
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:02,660
because the EU is protectionist in a different

1368
00:47:02,660 --> 00:47:03,560
way than we are.

1369
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:05,940
And they, you know, they got labor unions

1370
00:47:05,940 --> 00:47:07,740
that are different than ours and they have

1371
00:47:07,740 --> 00:47:10,060
different kind of complaining and they could get

1372
00:47:10,060 --> 00:47:10,700
a revolution.

1373
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,180
I mean, they could have all hell break

1374
00:47:13,180 --> 00:47:13,280
loose in Europe.

1375
00:47:13,780 --> 00:47:14,420
Explain it.

1376
00:47:14,540 --> 00:47:15,360
Explain what happens.

1377
00:47:15,460 --> 00:47:16,500
So you dump the products.

1378
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:18,540
Take me all the way through what happens

1379
00:47:18,540 --> 00:47:20,340
in Europe when that takes place.

1380
00:47:21,020 --> 00:47:22,400
Well, you say you dump a bunch of,

1381
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:27,020
for example, Chinese porcelain.

1382
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,640
The whole Europeans make, you know, Limoges and

1383
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,460
all these guys make different kinds of porcelain

1384
00:47:32,460 --> 00:47:33,980
products and the Chinese all of a sudden

1385
00:47:33,980 --> 00:47:38,260
dump dishes, dishware, into France because they got

1386
00:47:38,260 --> 00:47:39,280
to get rid of it somewhere.

1387
00:47:39,700 --> 00:47:41,440
And it just puts these little guys out

1388
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,560
of business and it causes a disruption in

1389
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,700
the ecosystem of the government.

1390
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,540
And it's a relation to the businesses.

1391
00:47:48,540 --> 00:47:50,980
I mean, it just causes, it's just not

1392
00:47:50,980 --> 00:47:52,140
good, it's bad.

1393
00:47:52,500 --> 00:47:55,780
So that's a backdoor little gotcha that is

1394
00:47:55,780 --> 00:47:57,320
taking place because of this.

1395
00:47:57,740 --> 00:47:58,220
Yeah.

1396
00:47:58,940 --> 00:48:00,000
You're aware of it.

1397
00:48:00,140 --> 00:48:02,960
Obviously, the economics, the guy from The Economist

1398
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:03,700
is aware of it.

1399
00:48:04,100 --> 00:48:05,820
The Chinese, because he says he got this

1400
00:48:05,820 --> 00:48:08,840
information from Beijing because they're the professors and

1401
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:13,080
whoever the ministers are that are just talking

1402
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:13,520
to him.

1403
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,060
They're all, everyone's aware of this problem and

1404
00:48:16,060 --> 00:48:17,820
you have the clip to even back that

1405
00:48:17,820 --> 00:48:18,080
up.

1406
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:19,820
Because Vandaline's aware of it.

1407
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,120
This is not, this is not acceptable.

1408
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,360
So they're going to, this forces the Chinese.

1409
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:24,820
So they have to put tariffs.

1410
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,760
They have to, the only respite they have.

1411
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:28,680
Well, yeah, but you would have to drop,

1412
00:48:28,980 --> 00:48:32,040
they would just stop, you also stop importation.

1413
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:32,560
Stop importation.

1414
00:48:32,580 --> 00:48:32,760
Just say no.

1415
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:35,880
No, you can't send that here.

1416
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:36,780
This is good.

1417
00:48:37,220 --> 00:48:37,920
This is good.

1418
00:48:37,980 --> 00:48:38,800
I like this.

1419
00:48:39,240 --> 00:48:40,240
It's getting complicated.

1420
00:48:40,380 --> 00:48:41,540
And so this means that they're going to

1421
00:48:41,540 --> 00:48:43,180
have to do a deal because we are

1422
00:48:43,180 --> 00:48:45,340
the big giant market that can suck all

1423
00:48:45,340 --> 00:48:48,060
this, as you put it, Chinese junk up.

1424
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,520
Like there's no tomorrow because we're just consumers.

1425
00:48:51,820 --> 00:48:54,840
I'm glad, I'm glad you used the suck

1426
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,300
word because that is exactly the clip, a

1427
00:48:58,300 --> 00:48:59,780
classic clip I have.

1428
00:49:00,220 --> 00:49:01,200
They're from Ross Perot.

1429
00:49:01,540 --> 00:49:01,900
That's right.

1430
00:49:02,020 --> 00:49:02,680
Ross Perot.

1431
00:49:02,860 --> 00:49:04,760
He was the guy who said he was

1432
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:06,700
going to do what President Trump is doing

1433
00:49:06,700 --> 00:49:09,380
right now and they threatened to kill him.

1434
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:10,500
And that's why he dropped out.

1435
00:49:10,580 --> 00:49:11,960
I think that's universally known.

1436
00:49:12,300 --> 00:49:13,640
They threatened to kill his family.

1437
00:49:13,660 --> 00:49:14,940
I thought they were threatening to kill his

1438
00:49:14,940 --> 00:49:15,880
family or something.

1439
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:17,420
His family, his dog, everything.

1440
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:18,840
Yeah, they sent pictures.

1441
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,440
Yeah, he dropped out of the race because

1442
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,720
it was believed to be the CIA, but

1443
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:25,220
it could have been anybody.

1444
00:49:25,220 --> 00:49:28,460
Well, he's standing there in this three-way

1445
00:49:28,460 --> 00:49:30,660
debate, which was incredible at the time that

1446
00:49:30,660 --> 00:49:33,040
an independent had so many votes that he

1447
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,880
could disrupt either party's election.

1448
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,440
He's there with Bill Clinton and George Bush

1449
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,360
Sr. And this is what he said.

1450
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:41,920
If you just want to get out and

1451
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,600
buy his tax, first thing you ought to

1452
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:44,920
do is get all these folks who've got

1453
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:46,900
these one-way trade agreements that we've negotiated

1454
00:49:46,900 --> 00:49:49,040
over the years and say, fellas, we'll take

1455
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:50,220
the same deal we gave you.

1456
00:49:51,180 --> 00:49:53,460
And they'll gridlock right at that point because,

1457
00:49:53,980 --> 00:49:56,940
for example, we've got international competitors who simply

1458
00:49:56,940 --> 00:49:59,100
could not unload their cars off the ships

1459
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,180
if they had to comply.

1460
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:02,540
You see, if it was a two-way

1461
00:50:02,540 --> 00:50:04,200
street, just couldn't do it.

1462
00:50:04,720 --> 00:50:07,660
We have got to stop sending jobs overseas.

1463
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,160
To those of you in the audience who

1464
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,640
are business people, pretty simple.

1465
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,500
If you're paying $12, $13, $14 an hour

1466
00:50:15,500 --> 00:50:17,960
for factory workers, and you can move your

1467
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,020
factory south of the border, pay $1 an

1468
00:50:20,020 --> 00:50:21,700
hour for labor, hire a young 25...

1469
00:50:21,700 --> 00:50:23,120
Let's assume you've been in business for a

1470
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:23,540
long time.

1471
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:24,520
You've got a mature workforce.

1472
00:50:25,020 --> 00:50:26,520
Pay $1 an hour for your labor.

1473
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:28,720
Have no health care.

1474
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:30,940
That's the most expensive single element, making a

1475
00:50:30,940 --> 00:50:31,220
car.

1476
00:50:31,620 --> 00:50:35,100
Have no environmental controls, no pollution controls, and

1477
00:50:35,100 --> 00:50:35,720
no retirement.

1478
00:50:36,980 --> 00:50:39,300
And you don't care about anything but making

1479
00:50:39,300 --> 00:50:41,940
money, there will be a giant sucking sound

1480
00:50:41,940 --> 00:50:42,700
going south.

1481
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,540
So, if the people send me to Washington,

1482
00:50:46,620 --> 00:50:48,120
the first thing I'll do is study that

1483
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,360
2,000-page agreement and make sure it's

1484
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:51,160
a two-way street.

1485
00:50:51,380 --> 00:50:53,020
That was NAFTA, of course, that he was

1486
00:50:53,020 --> 00:50:54,200
referring to, and he was right.

1487
00:50:54,780 --> 00:50:55,580
He was right.

1488
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,520
It was very destructive to our manufacturing base.

1489
00:50:58,780 --> 00:51:00,800
Yeah, it took Maytag out of the country.

1490
00:51:01,580 --> 00:51:03,380
But now we have a president who was

1491
00:51:03,380 --> 00:51:05,240
willing to do this, and I'm sure that

1492
00:51:05,240 --> 00:51:06,840
there's been a lot of threats to his

1493
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,840
family and his life for doing this because

1494
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:09,680
that's what they do.

1495
00:51:10,060 --> 00:51:10,700
It's what they do.

1496
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:16,820
And he was at this GOP fundraiser, I

1497
00:51:16,820 --> 00:51:18,720
think it was last night, and he had

1498
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:20,320
a couple of good zingers, but he said,

1499
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,160
this is the difference, this is what he

1500
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:22,360
is.

1501
00:51:22,420 --> 00:51:24,000
I'm proud to be the president for the

1502
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,140
workers, not the outsourcers, the president who stands

1503
00:51:27,140 --> 00:51:30,020
up for Main Street, not Wall Street, who

1504
00:51:30,020 --> 00:51:32,900
protects the middle class, not the political class,

1505
00:51:33,060 --> 00:51:36,100
and who defends America, not trade cheaters all

1506
00:51:36,100 --> 00:51:36,800
over the globe.

1507
00:51:36,900 --> 00:51:37,980
They're trade cheaters.

1508
00:51:38,140 --> 00:51:39,180
They cheated on us.

1509
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:41,300
They cheated with tariffs on us.

1510
00:51:42,220 --> 00:51:44,760
They stole our money, they stole our jobs.

1511
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:46,500
Yeah, there you go.

1512
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,820
He had another, so the real problem here,

1513
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:54,420
because that's part of the plan, is the

1514
00:51:54,420 --> 00:51:56,160
tax, the tax bill.

1515
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,660
And this has become an issue because he

1516
00:51:59,660 --> 00:52:02,880
has to pass this, A, to stop this

1517
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,900
incredible, these tax cuts which have a sunset,

1518
00:52:06,100 --> 00:52:07,860
which will raise everybody's tax, is going to

1519
00:52:07,860 --> 00:52:08,620
screw everybody.

1520
00:52:08,620 --> 00:52:10,100
Not just the wealthy.

1521
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,980
Hello, Main Street media and Democrats, everybody, including

1522
00:52:14,980 --> 00:52:17,260
little bitty podcasters, John and Adam.

1523
00:52:18,420 --> 00:52:21,260
But he also has in there, it's a

1524
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:21,960
perfect balance.

1525
00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:24,720
No tax on social security, no tax on

1526
00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:25,080
tips.

1527
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,120
You get to deduct the interest on your

1528
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,280
car if it's an American-made car, and

1529
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,160
the state and local taxes, including your mortgage

1530
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:34,440
deduction, will go up.

1531
00:52:34,860 --> 00:52:35,920
You'll be able to deduct more.

1532
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,160
That's a critical piece of it because, of

1533
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,000
course, you will have some inflation, some, I

1534
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,400
think, real economists say, eh, half a point,

1535
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:44,140
maybe a point.

1536
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:45,360
It's not going to be so terrible.

1537
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,980
And you have these, what he calls grandstanders.

1538
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,320
He's looking specifically at Rand Paul and also,

1539
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,260
disappointingly, Chip Roy of Texas.

1540
00:52:56,580 --> 00:52:59,020
But, you know, to get there, first he's

1541
00:52:59,020 --> 00:52:59,860
got to make some jokes.

1542
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,060
I'm telling you, these countries are calling us

1543
00:53:02,060 --> 00:53:03,960
up, kissing my ass.

1544
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,180
They are dying to make it to you.

1545
00:53:07,180 --> 00:53:09,000
Please, please, sir, make it to you.

1546
00:53:09,060 --> 00:53:09,840
I'll do anything.

1547
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,080
I'll do anything, sir.

1548
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,560
And then I'll see some rebel Republican, some

1549
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,040
guy that wants to grandstand, say, I think

1550
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,220
that Congress should take over negotiations.

1551
00:53:20,460 --> 00:53:22,120
Let me tell you, you don't negotiate like

1552
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:22,860
I negotiate.

1553
00:53:23,500 --> 00:53:26,280
Congress takes over negotiating.

1554
00:53:27,220 --> 00:53:29,500
Sell America fast because you're going to go

1555
00:53:29,500 --> 00:53:29,880
busted.

1556
00:53:30,940 --> 00:53:32,100
You're going to go busted?

1557
00:53:32,820 --> 00:53:36,200
Yeah, that's Rand Paul who's waffling about.

1558
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,960
Well, it's a tax and only Congress can

1559
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:40,460
do tax.

1560
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,680
I actually looked at the legality of it.

1561
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,660
He's not incorrect.

1562
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:49,320
But once the president declares an emergency, economic

1563
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,360
emergency, then the president can do what he

1564
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,420
wants to do for a maximum of four

1565
00:53:54,420 --> 00:53:54,860
years.

1566
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,080
I looked it all up so he can

1567
00:53:59,080 --> 00:53:59,640
do this.

1568
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,420
And so what Rand Paul is trying to

1569
00:54:01,420 --> 00:54:04,000
do is say, well, we need to pass

1570
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:05,340
a bill against the emergency.

1571
00:54:05,340 --> 00:54:06,560
Well, good luck with that.

1572
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,860
I don't think Congress can override the president

1573
00:54:09,860 --> 00:54:12,580
when he invokes an emergency, which is exactly

1574
00:54:12,580 --> 00:54:15,840
why this language is always used, economic emergency,

1575
00:54:16,460 --> 00:54:18,000
national security emergency.

1576
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,380
That's why we still have the Patriot Act

1577
00:54:20,380 --> 00:54:23,280
because of national security emergency.

1578
00:54:24,940 --> 00:54:26,680
And then there was still more fun to

1579
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,400
be had at the expense of Adam Schiff.

1580
00:54:28,720 --> 00:54:31,420
And that's with all of the difficulties and

1581
00:54:31,420 --> 00:54:35,220
all of the fake investigations and Adam Schiff.

1582
00:54:35,620 --> 00:54:37,280
Can you believe this guy?

1583
00:54:38,380 --> 00:54:40,660
He's got the smallest neck I've ever seen.

1584
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,680
And the biggest head, we called him Watermelon

1585
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:44,880
Head.

1586
00:54:45,220 --> 00:54:47,160
Hold on, that is John Kerry.

1587
00:54:47,340 --> 00:54:48,820
That's the wrong name, the wrong guy.

1588
00:54:49,240 --> 00:54:51,520
I found it to be just as offensive.

1589
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:52,420
Very offensive.

1590
00:54:52,540 --> 00:54:54,520
That's our gag and it's the wrong guy.

1591
00:54:54,740 --> 00:54:56,580
It's our gag, wrong guy.

1592
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:57,180
Wrong guy.

1593
00:54:57,460 --> 00:54:58,760
The biggest head, we called him Watermelon Head.

1594
00:54:58,780 --> 00:54:59,840
Pumpkin Head would be funnier.

1595
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:01,120
What, what, Pumpkin Head?

1596
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,400
Yeah, he's got a pumpkin head.

1597
00:55:04,740 --> 00:55:06,400
Kerry has the watermelon head.

1598
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:08,500
You're right, Schiff has a pumpkin head.

1599
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,260
And the biggest head, we called him Watermelon

1600
00:55:10,260 --> 00:55:10,520
Head.

1601
00:55:10,860 --> 00:55:13,540
I say, how could that big fat face

1602
00:55:13,540 --> 00:55:15,920
stand on a neck that looked like this

1603
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:16,280
finger?

1604
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:17,400
How can it?

1605
00:55:18,020 --> 00:55:19,060
It was the weirdest thing.

1606
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:23,520
It's a mystery, nobody can understand it.

1607
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,100
But he's one of the most dishonest human

1608
00:55:26,100 --> 00:55:27,920
beings I've ever seen.

1609
00:55:28,140 --> 00:55:30,800
And you know how we can allow people

1610
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,560
like that to run an office, it's a

1611
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:33,740
shame, but we did.

1612
00:55:34,020 --> 00:55:35,760
But this really is the problem.

1613
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,720
And I'm disappointed in Chip Roy.

1614
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,740
I mean, is he so simple?

1615
00:55:40,180 --> 00:55:42,400
He's our representative here.

1616
00:55:42,620 --> 00:55:44,400
Are you so simple, Chip Roy?

1617
00:55:44,980 --> 00:55:46,720
You know, is he part of the, what

1618
00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:49,960
is the caucus, the super conservative?

1619
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,780
Oh, yeah, I'm there with the caucus.

1620
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,620
Chip Roy kept with the program.

1621
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,600
With his iron grip on the Republican Party,

1622
00:55:57,700 --> 00:55:59,940
it's long seemed that Donald Trump could do

1623
00:55:59,940 --> 00:56:01,820
no wrong in the eyes of the party's

1624
00:56:01,820 --> 00:56:02,880
elected representatives.

1625
00:56:03,180 --> 00:56:05,120
But now he may be going too far

1626
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,220
for some, like Senator Rand Paul.

1627
00:56:07,420 --> 00:56:09,980
Last week, he backed a Democratic Senate resolution

1628
00:56:09,980 --> 00:56:13,340
against the emergency powers Trump used to impose

1629
00:56:13,340 --> 00:56:14,400
tariffs on Canada.

1630
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:16,500
This is a tax, plain and simple.

1631
00:56:16,940 --> 00:56:19,420
Taxes should not be enacted by one person.

1632
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:21,500
So I will vote today to end the

1633
00:56:21,500 --> 00:56:22,040
emergency.

1634
00:56:22,380 --> 00:56:24,960
I will vote today to try to reclaim

1635
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,920
the power of taxation, the power of the

1636
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:28,340
tariff.

1637
00:56:28,460 --> 00:56:31,200
He was joined by three other Republican dissenters,

1638
00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:34,480
former Senate leader Mitch McConnell and Lisa Murkowski

1639
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,180
and Susan Collins, who represent states on the

1640
00:56:37,180 --> 00:56:38,000
border with Canada.

1641
00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:40,000
That's a nice bunch to be in there,

1642
00:56:40,100 --> 00:56:40,460
Rand Paul.

1643
00:56:40,540 --> 00:56:43,560
Several other Republican senators say they intend to

1644
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,400
back a bipartisan bill that would put restrictions

1645
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,120
on Trump's ability to impose tariffs with a

1646
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:49,960
sweep of the pen.

1647
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:50,600
Ugh.

1648
00:56:52,140 --> 00:56:52,680
Traitors!

1649
00:56:55,420 --> 00:56:57,900
Exactly the kind of Republican some people we

1650
00:56:57,900 --> 00:56:59,740
know are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's stop

1651
00:56:59,740 --> 00:56:59,980
this.

1652
00:57:00,180 --> 00:57:01,900
Get that pen out of his hand.

1653
00:57:01,940 --> 00:57:02,520
It's no good.

1654
00:57:04,240 --> 00:57:04,640
Ugh.

1655
00:57:05,620 --> 00:57:07,480
Bloomberg actually had...

1656
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,780
Well, you know, just to stop it for

1657
00:57:09,780 --> 00:57:13,100
a second, Susan Collins, who's had a stroke,

1658
00:57:14,340 --> 00:57:16,320
probably has never been all there for a

1659
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:16,500
while.

1660
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:17,660
I don't know what her problem is.

1661
00:57:17,860 --> 00:57:20,580
Murkowski, I can always understand her because she

1662
00:57:20,580 --> 00:57:22,820
was, they tried to prime, the Republican Party

1663
00:57:22,820 --> 00:57:25,500
tried to primary her and get rid of

1664
00:57:25,500 --> 00:57:27,360
her and she's very resentful.

1665
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:28,140
She's mad.

1666
00:57:28,380 --> 00:57:28,780
Okay.

1667
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,540
She's just a resentful person and she's like

1668
00:57:31,540 --> 00:57:32,940
going to vote no on everything.

1669
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,740
And Mitch McConnell is turning to the fart

1670
00:57:36,740 --> 00:57:39,460
that he's always kind of a senile, frozen

1671
00:57:39,460 --> 00:57:42,280
in time guy who hates Trump, he just

1672
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:43,640
hates Trump, so he's going to vote against

1673
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:43,760
everything.

1674
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:47,360
But Trump even gave Rand Paul, he gave

1675
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,980
him a gift because, you know, the European

1676
00:57:49,980 --> 00:57:52,520
Union's, oh, we're going to we're going to

1677
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,680
put high tariffs on Kentucky bourbon, which of

1678
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,200
course is Rand Paul's state.

1679
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,140
And so Trump said, oh, okay, 200%

1680
00:58:01,140 --> 00:58:02,760
tax on your wine and your champagne.

1681
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:06,980
And they dropped the tariff on the bourbon.

1682
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:08,980
There's something else going on with Rand Paul,

1683
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:09,620
obviously.

1684
00:58:09,900 --> 00:58:11,940
You don't, I mean, I have the same...

1685
00:58:11,940 --> 00:58:12,040
Corruption.

1686
00:58:12,100 --> 00:58:12,980
It's got to be corruption.

1687
00:58:13,260 --> 00:58:14,900
What's that in your mouth level stuff?

1688
00:58:16,980 --> 00:58:17,460
Maybe.

1689
00:58:17,460 --> 00:58:17,620
Maybe?

1690
00:58:17,980 --> 00:58:19,320
I mean, he is a little fruity.

1691
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,300
Excuse the word, but he is.

1692
00:58:24,620 --> 00:58:25,640
Yeah, there's something going on.

1693
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:26,720
I don't get it.

1694
00:58:28,060 --> 00:58:29,680
Like, and why is he going after the,

1695
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:33,280
he knows that's that makes no sense.

1696
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,360
He knows he's not going to get that.

1697
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,620
No one's going to vote for, doesn't make

1698
00:58:39,620 --> 00:58:40,080
any sense.

1699
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,280
The Bloomberg guy, I think, had a good

1700
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:43,840
point here.

1701
00:58:43,940 --> 00:58:45,640
This morning we have a warning as well

1702
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,340
from Ray Dalio for investors who may, Ray

1703
00:58:48,340 --> 00:58:51,940
Dalio, Bloomberg guy, whatever, be too fixated on

1704
00:58:51,940 --> 00:58:52,520
tariffs.

1705
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,920
Let's get the details on that from Bloomberg's

1706
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:55,800
Lisa Mateo.

1707
00:58:56,180 --> 00:58:57,900
In a post on X, the billionaire founder

1708
00:58:57,900 --> 00:59:00,800
of Bridgewater Associates said investors are not paying

1709
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,740
attention to underlying conditions, the breakdown in major

1710
00:59:03,740 --> 00:59:06,900
monetary, political, and geopolitical orders, and that failing

1711
00:59:06,900 --> 00:59:09,020
to do so may blindside them to the

1712
00:59:09,020 --> 00:59:11,160
biggest disruptions that are still to come.

1713
00:59:11,540 --> 00:59:14,360
Dalio explained how Trump's tariff policies are driven

1714
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,680
by too much existing debt and the rate

1715
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,100
at which new borrowing is added.

1716
00:59:18,380 --> 00:59:19,800
He said the U.S. is hooked on

1717
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,260
using debt to finance excessive spending, while creditor

1718
00:59:23,260 --> 00:59:25,860
countries like China sell goods to debtor nations

1719
00:59:25,860 --> 00:59:27,560
like the U.S., and that will lead

1720
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:29,500
to a correction of these imbalances and a

1721
00:59:29,500 --> 00:59:31,180
change in the monetary order.

1722
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,540
Dalio also notes that gaps in education, opportunity,

1723
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:36,980
and values are contributing to a breakdown of

1724
00:59:36,980 --> 00:59:39,660
the democratic system and the rise of autocratic

1725
00:59:39,660 --> 00:59:42,020
leaders, while the U.S. is shifting from

1726
00:59:42,020 --> 00:59:44,940
a multilateral to a unilateral approach in the

1727
00:59:44,940 --> 00:59:45,920
geopolitical arena.

1728
01:00:11,260 --> 01:00:11,420
...

1729
01:00:11,420 --> 01:00:12,180
...

1730
01:00:14,830 --> 01:00:16,160
...

1731
01:00:21,300 --> 01:00:23,960
...

1732
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:24,160
...

1733
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:25,600
...

1734
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,400
...

1735
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,480
...

1736
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:32,580
...

1737
01:00:32,580 --> 01:00:32,680
...

1738
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:33,760
...

1739
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:41,290
...

1740
01:00:41,290 --> 01:00:42,450
...

1741
01:00:42,450 --> 01:00:43,490
...

1742
01:00:51,210 --> 01:00:53,530
...

1743
01:00:53,530 --> 01:00:56,150
...

1744
01:00:56,150 --> 01:00:56,710
...

1745
01:00:56,710 --> 01:00:57,450
...

1746
01:00:57,450 --> 01:00:57,630
...

1747
01:00:57,630 --> 01:00:58,110
...

1748
01:00:58,310 --> 01:00:59,470
...

1749
01:00:59,470 --> 01:01:01,130
...

1750
01:01:01,130 --> 01:01:02,850
...

1751
01:01:02,850 --> 01:01:03,470
Exactly right.

1752
01:01:03,530 --> 01:01:05,390
I think there was this concern among some

1753
01:01:05,390 --> 01:01:07,170
folks that Donald Trump would come in for

1754
01:01:07,170 --> 01:01:08,490
a second term and kind of be a

1755
01:01:08,490 --> 01:01:09,010
lame duck.

1756
01:01:09,370 --> 01:01:10,430
He ain't no lame duck.

1757
01:01:10,490 --> 01:01:11,890
If anything, he's a soaring eagle.

1758
01:01:12,070 --> 01:01:13,190
What am I talking about here?

1759
01:01:13,370 --> 01:01:15,850
Let's talk about Trump executive orders in 2025.

1760
01:01:16,290 --> 01:01:18,930
He's already signed 111 so far.

1761
01:01:19,330 --> 01:01:21,430
That is the most at this point in

1762
01:01:21,430 --> 01:01:24,590
a presidency in at least a hundred years.

1763
01:01:24,690 --> 01:01:26,550
In fact, it's the most in any single

1764
01:01:26,550 --> 01:01:29,030
year, more only in April since Harry S.

1765
01:01:29,150 --> 01:01:31,750
Truman in the early 1950s.

1766
01:01:31,890 --> 01:01:33,790
The bottom line is whether you like Trump

1767
01:01:33,790 --> 01:01:36,030
or you don't like him, you can't say

1768
01:01:36,030 --> 01:01:38,450
that he's coming and not try to deliver

1769
01:01:38,450 --> 01:01:40,870
on what he at least believes was his

1770
01:01:40,870 --> 01:01:43,410
promises on the campaign trail, and he's doing

1771
01:01:43,410 --> 01:01:45,310
so in historic fashion.

1772
01:01:45,410 --> 01:01:46,850
He's the soaring eagle.

1773
01:01:47,250 --> 01:01:47,590
Yeah.

1774
01:01:48,550 --> 01:01:51,370
But the guy who tops it all, who

1775
01:01:51,370 --> 01:01:53,610
is, I mean, this is truly just a

1776
01:01:53,610 --> 01:01:55,490
guy, as far as I'm concerned, who's on

1777
01:01:55,490 --> 01:01:58,690
a game show known as Shark Tank, is

1778
01:01:58,690 --> 01:02:02,330
Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O'Leary, who one day

1779
01:02:02,330 --> 01:02:04,530
he's like, oh yeah, I'm investing a trillion

1780
01:02:04,530 --> 01:02:06,090
dollars in data centers.

1781
01:02:06,310 --> 01:02:07,910
I don't see that noise anymore.

1782
01:02:08,410 --> 01:02:09,610
Yeah, we've already got the land.

1783
01:02:09,730 --> 01:02:10,690
We've already got the power.

1784
01:02:10,810 --> 01:02:12,010
No, he's got none of that.

1785
01:02:12,470 --> 01:02:14,350
This guy likes to be on TV.

1786
01:02:14,750 --> 01:02:17,430
104% tariffs in China are not enough.

1787
01:02:17,430 --> 01:02:19,390
I'm advocating 400%.

1788
01:02:19,390 --> 01:02:20,970
I do business in China.

1789
01:02:21,910 --> 01:02:22,950
They don't play by the rules.

1790
01:02:23,090 --> 01:02:24,590
They've been in the WTO for decades.

1791
01:02:25,070 --> 01:02:26,910
They have never abided by any of the

1792
01:02:26,910 --> 01:02:28,350
rules they agreed to when they came in

1793
01:02:28,350 --> 01:02:29,210
for decades.

1794
01:02:29,410 --> 01:02:30,030
They cheat.

1795
01:02:30,230 --> 01:02:30,670
They steal.

1796
01:02:30,790 --> 01:02:31,490
They steal IP.

1797
01:02:31,670 --> 01:02:32,930
I can't litigate in their courts.

1798
01:02:33,410 --> 01:02:35,350
They take product technology.

1799
01:02:35,790 --> 01:02:36,930
They steal it.

1800
01:02:37,030 --> 01:02:38,950
They manufacture it and sell it back here.

1801
01:02:40,210 --> 01:02:41,610
Never has an administrator...

1802
01:02:41,610 --> 01:02:43,210
Can the United States stand 400% tariffs?

1803
01:02:43,290 --> 01:02:44,190
What would that look like?

1804
01:02:44,270 --> 01:02:47,110
I want Xi on an airplane to Washington

1805
01:02:47,110 --> 01:02:49,050
to level the playing field.

1806
01:02:49,210 --> 01:02:50,990
This is not about tariffs anymore.

1807
01:02:51,790 --> 01:02:54,130
Nobody has taken on China yet, not the

1808
01:02:54,130 --> 01:02:56,750
Europeans, no administration for decades.

1809
01:02:57,230 --> 01:03:00,050
As someone who actually does business there, I've

1810
01:03:00,050 --> 01:03:00,550
had enough.

1811
01:03:00,670 --> 01:03:03,090
I speak for millions of Americans who have

1812
01:03:03,090 --> 01:03:05,970
IP that have been stolen by the Chinese.

1813
01:03:05,970 --> 01:03:09,450
I have nothing against the Chinese people.

1814
01:03:09,570 --> 01:03:14,450
They brought great literacy, art, restaurants, and tech

1815
01:03:14,450 --> 01:03:15,050
to the world.

1816
01:03:15,450 --> 01:03:18,390
The government cheats and steals.

1817
01:03:18,710 --> 01:03:21,430
And finally, an administration, you may not like

1818
01:03:21,430 --> 01:03:21,770
Trump.

1819
01:03:21,930 --> 01:03:23,450
You may not like his style or his

1820
01:03:23,450 --> 01:03:23,710
rhetoric.

1821
01:03:24,290 --> 01:03:28,530
Finally, an administration that puts up and says

1822
01:03:28,530 --> 01:03:32,190
enough, 400% tariffs tomorrow morning.

1823
01:03:33,210 --> 01:03:34,050
He'll tell you why.

1824
01:03:34,490 --> 01:03:37,770
Xi can only stay the leader if people

1825
01:03:37,770 --> 01:03:38,570
are employed.

1826
01:03:38,870 --> 01:03:41,670
If we wipe out any business there, because

1827
01:03:41,670 --> 01:03:44,890
we are still 39% of all consumables

1828
01:03:44,890 --> 01:03:47,250
on earth and 25% of the world's

1829
01:03:47,250 --> 01:03:50,290
GDP, America is the number one economy on

1830
01:03:50,290 --> 01:03:51,470
earth with all the cards.

1831
01:03:51,550 --> 01:03:52,550
We will not have that forever.

1832
01:03:52,810 --> 01:03:55,650
It's time to squeeze Chinese heads into the

1833
01:03:55,650 --> 01:03:56,950
wall now.

1834
01:03:59,270 --> 01:04:00,610
That's a great picture.

1835
01:04:01,250 --> 01:04:02,810
You got that clip.

1836
01:04:02,910 --> 01:04:04,570
I saw it and I didn't clip it.

1837
01:04:04,570 --> 01:04:07,570
Squeeze the Chinese heads into the wall now.

1838
01:04:08,550 --> 01:04:11,510
He's interesting because he does talk a big

1839
01:04:11,510 --> 01:04:15,850
game now that situations changed somewhat.

1840
01:04:16,630 --> 01:04:17,790
He's a fun guy.

1841
01:04:17,950 --> 01:04:18,430
He's fun.

1842
01:04:20,310 --> 01:04:21,910
I got another one here.

1843
01:04:22,530 --> 01:04:24,950
If you just want to know what regular

1844
01:04:24,950 --> 01:04:29,570
folk watch on the conservative side, although again,

1845
01:04:29,730 --> 01:04:31,610
I see a lot of conservatives freaking out

1846
01:04:31,610 --> 01:04:33,930
about this, about this stupid president, what's he

1847
01:04:33,930 --> 01:04:34,230
doing?

1848
01:04:34,430 --> 01:04:38,110
Because they're watching, watching financial news.

1849
01:04:38,250 --> 01:04:41,530
They're watching your guy over there, Charles Barkley.

1850
01:04:41,710 --> 01:04:42,210
What's his name?

1851
01:04:43,650 --> 01:04:44,450
Charles Payne?

1852
01:04:44,530 --> 01:04:45,430
Yeah, Charles Payne.

1853
01:04:45,770 --> 01:04:46,590
Charles Payne.

1854
01:04:46,890 --> 01:04:47,630
Charles Barkley.

1855
01:04:47,790 --> 01:04:48,750
Might as well have a show.

1856
01:04:49,470 --> 01:04:51,090
On Fox Business.

1857
01:04:51,950 --> 01:04:54,210
And they're like, oh, this is wrong.

1858
01:04:54,350 --> 01:04:55,050
What are we doing?

1859
01:04:55,090 --> 01:04:56,050
It's disrupting everything.

1860
01:04:56,130 --> 01:04:56,790
My iPhone.

1861
01:04:57,870 --> 01:05:00,570
But you really want to get your economic

1862
01:05:00,570 --> 01:05:02,610
analysis from Judge Janine.

1863
01:05:02,770 --> 01:05:04,430
China was always the end game.

1864
01:05:04,930 --> 01:05:05,690
Trump won.

1865
01:05:06,190 --> 01:05:08,230
He's doing exactly what he said he would

1866
01:05:08,230 --> 01:05:08,470
do.

1867
01:05:08,650 --> 01:05:10,710
He said there would be short term pain

1868
01:05:10,710 --> 01:05:12,430
for long term gain.

1869
01:05:12,830 --> 01:05:15,990
He literally got everybody in the world to

1870
01:05:15,990 --> 01:05:18,330
come to the table or they're trying.

1871
01:05:18,530 --> 01:05:19,150
They're calling.

1872
01:05:19,330 --> 01:05:20,330
They're flying in.

1873
01:05:20,510 --> 01:05:21,970
They're trying to make a deal.

1874
01:05:22,230 --> 01:05:24,210
And he sent a message to those countries

1875
01:05:24,210 --> 01:05:25,750
that were willing to make a deal with

1876
01:05:25,750 --> 01:05:26,690
the United States.

1877
01:05:27,030 --> 01:05:30,510
Let's do something mutually beneficial for both of

1878
01:05:30,510 --> 01:05:30,790
us.

1879
01:05:30,990 --> 01:05:34,030
Right now, his timing was right to the

1880
01:05:34,030 --> 01:05:36,530
edge and it was a business decision to

1881
01:05:36,530 --> 01:05:38,850
get everyone to the table so everyone can

1882
01:05:38,850 --> 01:05:39,210
win.

1883
01:05:39,550 --> 01:05:42,090
If there's a standoff, nobody wins.

1884
01:05:42,290 --> 01:05:45,310
But now this is the biggest win for

1885
01:05:45,310 --> 01:05:47,750
America because we've got a level playing field.

1886
01:05:48,150 --> 01:05:50,870
We are no longer a doormat for other

1887
01:05:50,870 --> 01:05:50,990
countries.

1888
01:05:51,470 --> 01:05:54,230
We've got a president who has the capacity,

1889
01:05:54,830 --> 01:05:57,930
the ability and the stamina to fight to

1890
01:05:57,930 --> 01:06:00,550
make sure that we are at least a

1891
01:06:00,550 --> 01:06:01,670
manufacturing country.

1892
01:06:01,850 --> 01:06:03,770
Again, you say the United States doesn't want

1893
01:06:03,770 --> 01:06:05,710
to be a manufacturing company, a country.

1894
01:06:06,210 --> 01:06:08,970
We lost ninety thousand manufacturing businesses.

1895
01:06:09,510 --> 01:06:10,190
We want to be.

1896
01:06:10,750 --> 01:06:11,810
Let me finish.

1897
01:06:11,930 --> 01:06:13,990
I didn't interrupt you.

1898
01:06:14,370 --> 01:06:14,790
All right.

1899
01:06:14,810 --> 01:06:18,470
What we want is we want everyone who

1900
01:06:18,470 --> 01:06:20,930
needs us to, number one, be able to

1901
01:06:20,930 --> 01:06:22,630
rely on us and we need to be

1902
01:06:22,630 --> 01:06:23,830
able to work with them.

1903
01:06:24,090 --> 01:06:25,910
In fact, I would say bomb them, bomb

1904
01:06:25,910 --> 01:06:27,130
them and then bomb them again.

1905
01:06:28,950 --> 01:06:31,090
So my my take on this whole thing

1906
01:06:31,090 --> 01:06:32,990
was that from the get go, I kind

1907
01:06:32,990 --> 01:06:35,110
of agree with Besant, who said this whole

1908
01:06:35,110 --> 01:06:35,870
thing was a setup.

1909
01:06:36,350 --> 01:06:38,310
But the one thing I think he left

1910
01:06:38,310 --> 01:06:40,570
out, I think the entire thing is that

1911
01:06:40,570 --> 01:06:43,610
when he did his Independence Day thing, the

1912
01:06:43,610 --> 01:06:47,210
whole scheme was to create a cross the

1913
01:06:47,210 --> 01:06:50,830
board 10 percent tariff on everything from everyone,

1914
01:06:51,050 --> 01:06:51,810
which makes sense.

1915
01:06:52,770 --> 01:06:54,750
And yes, in fact, even with the trillion

1916
01:06:54,750 --> 01:06:57,150
dollars, the excess that the Chinese have been

1917
01:06:57,150 --> 01:06:59,590
shipping us, that's 100 billion dollars in tariffs,

1918
01:06:59,750 --> 01:07:01,650
even though it's only 10 percent.

1919
01:07:01,690 --> 01:07:02,310
It's not that much.

1920
01:07:02,390 --> 01:07:04,310
We can everyone will gladly pay an extra

1921
01:07:04,310 --> 01:07:08,270
10 percent for Chinese products or anybody's products.

1922
01:07:08,330 --> 01:07:09,070
It's only 10 percent.

1923
01:07:09,130 --> 01:07:10,050
It's not that big of a deal.

1924
01:07:10,170 --> 01:07:13,070
And so that would be a lot of

1925
01:07:13,070 --> 01:07:14,750
money considering if you take a look at

1926
01:07:14,750 --> 01:07:15,310
the totals.

1927
01:07:15,990 --> 01:07:19,110
But he didn't like incentives just coming out

1928
01:07:19,110 --> 01:07:21,450
on Independence Day, as he calls it, and

1929
01:07:21,450 --> 01:07:22,790
saying we're going to do a 10 percent

1930
01:07:22,790 --> 01:07:23,990
across the board deal.

1931
01:07:24,110 --> 01:07:26,210
He comes out with this crazy chart where

1932
01:07:26,210 --> 01:07:30,510
he's taxing the Penguin Island and 50, 70,

1933
01:07:30,650 --> 01:07:31,250
80 percent.

1934
01:07:31,410 --> 01:07:32,890
And he makes a big fuss about it,

1935
01:07:32,970 --> 01:07:33,950
crashes the market.

1936
01:07:35,130 --> 01:07:37,950
But if the giveaway was the underlying, no

1937
01:07:37,950 --> 01:07:39,670
matter who it was, had a minimum of

1938
01:07:39,670 --> 01:07:40,250
10 percent.

1939
01:07:40,250 --> 01:07:42,590
Everybody had 10 percent, at least.

1940
01:07:42,810 --> 01:07:44,030
Yeah, it was 10 percent plus.

1941
01:07:44,170 --> 01:07:44,590
That's right.

1942
01:07:45,350 --> 01:07:46,670
Yeah, it was 10 percent plus.

1943
01:07:46,830 --> 01:07:48,550
But the lowest was always 10 percent.

1944
01:07:48,610 --> 01:07:50,590
There was nobody that got less than 10

1945
01:07:50,590 --> 01:07:53,150
percent, even if they had weren't.

1946
01:07:53,350 --> 01:07:54,450
They had no tariff.

1947
01:07:55,270 --> 01:07:58,250
So the 10 percent was given away when

1948
01:07:58,250 --> 01:07:59,150
he did that chart.

1949
01:07:59,590 --> 01:08:01,390
And so then he does this new deal,

1950
01:08:01,530 --> 01:08:03,310
goes off the 90 day, backs off.

1951
01:08:03,350 --> 01:08:04,730
But he keeps the 10 percent.

1952
01:08:05,070 --> 01:08:07,150
The whole thing was about 10 percent.

1953
01:08:07,450 --> 01:08:09,210
But he didn't want to start that way

1954
01:08:09,210 --> 01:08:11,910
because that would be his negotiating posture from

1955
01:08:11,910 --> 01:08:12,510
the get go.

1956
01:08:12,590 --> 01:08:13,890
And he'd have to back off on it.

1957
01:08:14,150 --> 01:08:16,430
So he negotiates by putting these.

1958
01:08:16,729 --> 01:08:18,090
It was ridiculous.

1959
01:08:18,870 --> 01:08:20,770
Then everybody got all bent out of shape.

1960
01:08:21,350 --> 01:08:23,250
And but the real goal was this 10

1961
01:08:23,250 --> 01:08:25,590
percent, which I think will be enough.

1962
01:08:25,609 --> 01:08:26,590
Which will be enough.

1963
01:08:26,729 --> 01:08:27,689
It'll be enough for us.

1964
01:08:27,710 --> 01:08:28,189
It'll be more.

1965
01:08:28,290 --> 01:08:30,109
Yes, it'll be enough for starters.

1966
01:08:30,229 --> 01:08:32,750
They'll get some manufacturing to come back.

1967
01:08:34,010 --> 01:08:35,790
It's, you know, I mean, Honda makes cars

1968
01:08:35,790 --> 01:08:36,750
here already.

1969
01:08:37,180 --> 01:08:38,910
Well, that's the hard part.

1970
01:08:39,250 --> 01:08:41,729
That's the hard part is building up the

1971
01:08:41,729 --> 01:08:44,149
manufacturing base, which is his ultimate goal.

1972
01:08:44,649 --> 01:08:45,950
And I've heard I don't I don't think

1973
01:08:45,950 --> 01:08:47,550
I have any clips of it, but I've

1974
01:08:47,550 --> 01:08:51,550
heard certainly pundits on the CNN and MSNBC

1975
01:08:51,550 --> 01:08:54,590
and CNBC saying, well, this is the mistake

1976
01:08:54,590 --> 01:08:57,330
he's making because Americans are stupid.

1977
01:08:57,609 --> 01:09:00,850
They can't read above fifth grade level and

1978
01:09:00,850 --> 01:09:02,550
they're lazy and they don't want to work.

1979
01:09:03,370 --> 01:09:05,590
And I think that that is a very

1980
01:09:05,590 --> 01:09:07,350
elitist view of the American people.

1981
01:09:08,149 --> 01:09:08,529
Completely.

1982
01:09:08,870 --> 01:09:12,270
I think that we we are all three

1983
01:09:12,270 --> 01:09:15,970
of our daughters at some point are busing

1984
01:09:15,970 --> 01:09:19,029
tables or tending bar and they like it.

1985
01:09:19,390 --> 01:09:20,569
They like the money.

1986
01:09:20,729 --> 01:09:21,510
They like the tips.

1987
01:09:21,630 --> 01:09:22,689
They like the hours.

1988
01:09:22,870 --> 01:09:24,630
They like they don't have to take any

1989
01:09:24,630 --> 01:09:27,330
any any work home with them.

1990
01:09:28,090 --> 01:09:30,170
They don't have to get work on their

1991
01:09:30,170 --> 01:09:31,490
iPhone all the time.

1992
01:09:32,590 --> 01:09:36,330
So I think that's the iPhone again.

1993
01:09:36,910 --> 01:09:39,689
Well, if I were a younger man today,

1994
01:09:39,990 --> 01:09:41,590
if let's say I was 30 back in

1995
01:09:41,590 --> 01:09:44,210
my heyday, I would be making an American

1996
01:09:44,210 --> 01:09:46,750
phone to rival the iPhone.

1997
01:09:46,890 --> 01:09:48,529
It would be made of a cigar box,

1998
01:09:48,609 --> 01:09:50,810
but I would be making an American phone.

1999
01:09:51,609 --> 01:09:53,650
This is a golden opportunity.

2000
01:09:53,790 --> 01:09:54,970
That's what people need to see.

2001
01:09:55,070 --> 01:09:55,810
Now you can start.

2002
01:09:56,130 --> 01:09:57,730
We have style problems.

2003
01:09:58,410 --> 01:10:00,410
You know, we don't make the coolest looking

2004
01:10:00,410 --> 01:10:00,790
cars.

2005
01:10:00,890 --> 01:10:03,750
They basically all look like military stuff or

2006
01:10:03,750 --> 01:10:04,630
just gay.

2007
01:10:05,230 --> 01:10:07,050
I mean, that's kind of the two models

2008
01:10:07,050 --> 01:10:07,690
we have.

2009
01:10:09,150 --> 01:10:10,570
But that's true.

2010
01:10:11,110 --> 01:10:14,590
But you know, but this is the time.

2011
01:10:14,670 --> 01:10:16,530
This is a golden opportunity.

2012
01:10:16,670 --> 01:10:19,530
And instead, everyone's fretting about the iPhone.

2013
01:10:20,030 --> 01:10:20,990
Come on.

2014
01:10:21,690 --> 01:10:23,770
You can make a cool phone with open

2015
01:10:23,770 --> 01:10:25,370
Android stock build.

2016
01:10:25,490 --> 01:10:26,150
You can do it.

2017
01:10:26,730 --> 01:10:27,770
You can do it.

2018
01:10:29,030 --> 01:10:29,870
I know we can.

2019
01:10:30,990 --> 01:10:32,630
We do we still do we make plastic

2020
01:10:32,630 --> 01:10:32,890
here.

2021
01:10:32,990 --> 01:10:33,690
We got plastics.

2022
01:10:34,790 --> 01:10:37,050
The best plastic makers are all in Taiwan.

2023
01:10:37,310 --> 01:10:38,090
Well, that's good, too.

2024
01:10:38,170 --> 01:10:38,890
We can do it.

2025
01:10:39,130 --> 01:10:40,330
We're OK with Taiwan.

2026
01:10:40,570 --> 01:10:42,030
We can do a deal with Taiwan.

2027
01:10:43,490 --> 01:10:45,730
It's time that people get knocked off their

2028
01:10:45,730 --> 01:10:46,390
high horse.

2029
01:10:47,150 --> 01:10:49,590
And yes, Apple is top of the bill

2030
01:10:49,590 --> 01:10:50,850
because they're arrogant.

2031
01:10:51,450 --> 01:10:55,690
There's overpriced and they've psyoped everybody into thinking

2032
01:10:55,690 --> 01:10:57,090
that you have to have this phone.

2033
01:10:57,170 --> 01:10:58,930
It's only about the iPhone, this whole thing.

2034
01:10:59,410 --> 01:11:00,390
It's only about the iPhone.

2035
01:11:00,510 --> 01:11:01,730
That's all anybody can talk about.

2036
01:11:02,010 --> 01:11:04,030
It's all anybody seems to care about.

2037
01:11:04,430 --> 01:11:09,090
iPhone, which brings us if we're done with

2038
01:11:09,090 --> 01:11:09,690
these tariffs.

2039
01:11:09,870 --> 01:11:13,090
Yes, it brings us to another round, another

2040
01:11:13,090 --> 01:11:18,450
round of smartphone discussion on NPR, which I've

2041
01:11:18,450 --> 01:11:21,730
concluded because we had those clips in the

2042
01:11:21,730 --> 01:11:22,990
last show from NPR.

2043
01:11:23,250 --> 01:11:26,070
Oh, this is something going on at NPR.

2044
01:11:26,650 --> 01:11:27,990
Is this Scott?

2045
01:11:28,130 --> 01:11:28,790
Is this Scott?

2046
01:11:29,110 --> 01:11:30,570
No, no, it's not Scott.

2047
01:11:30,710 --> 01:11:31,710
This is one of the you got to

2048
01:11:31,710 --> 01:11:32,250
warn me.

2049
01:11:32,370 --> 01:11:33,050
All right.

2050
01:11:33,270 --> 01:11:35,490
I don't think I have Scott on today's

2051
01:11:35,490 --> 01:11:35,730
show.

2052
01:11:35,930 --> 01:11:37,310
That's too bad because he's a staple.

2053
01:11:37,390 --> 01:11:39,690
But somebody requested the Scott jingle for the

2054
01:11:39,690 --> 01:11:40,930
I saw that coming up.

2055
01:11:40,950 --> 01:11:43,810
It'll be in the show for a jingle

2056
01:11:43,810 --> 01:11:45,110
for the donation segment.

2057
01:11:45,450 --> 01:11:45,790
Yes.

2058
01:11:45,950 --> 01:11:47,750
I'm telling you, Scott's a winner.

2059
01:11:47,750 --> 01:11:48,950
It's a winner for the show.

2060
01:11:50,010 --> 01:11:50,450
Sure.

2061
01:11:50,670 --> 01:11:51,310
So what is this?

2062
01:11:51,470 --> 01:11:52,950
What is what is the deal with the

2063
01:11:52,950 --> 01:11:53,310
phones?

2064
01:11:53,390 --> 01:11:53,990
What do they have?

2065
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:55,510
I don't know.

2066
01:11:55,550 --> 01:11:56,370
Where's these clips?

2067
01:11:56,510 --> 01:11:58,150
Cell phone BS number one.

2068
01:11:59,070 --> 01:12:00,670
That would be a yes.

2069
01:12:00,850 --> 01:12:03,190
This review study from last year on phone

2070
01:12:03,190 --> 01:12:06,070
addiction, and it found that we're interrupted by

2071
01:12:06,070 --> 01:12:09,270
our smartphones every 13 minutes of our time

2072
01:12:09,270 --> 01:12:09,670
awake.

2073
01:12:10,030 --> 01:12:10,610
Now, let's stop.

2074
01:12:10,610 --> 01:12:11,490
What would it be like?

2075
01:12:11,510 --> 01:12:12,350
And I got to do it.

2076
01:12:13,090 --> 01:12:15,150
You have to remember, we just did a

2077
01:12:15,150 --> 01:12:18,330
series of clips from NPR where they're spreading

2078
01:12:18,330 --> 01:12:21,410
about the five and a half hours a

2079
01:12:21,410 --> 01:12:24,190
day that people are spending on their phone,

2080
01:12:24,330 --> 01:12:26,750
especially the host of whatever the show was.

2081
01:12:26,810 --> 01:12:26,970
Yeah.

2082
01:12:27,470 --> 01:12:30,310
Complaining to himself about it, being addicted to

2083
01:12:30,310 --> 01:12:30,850
this phone.

2084
01:12:31,030 --> 01:12:32,950
And so now they're they can't get off

2085
01:12:32,950 --> 01:12:33,610
this topic.

2086
01:12:33,770 --> 01:12:35,590
And so this is a whole new presentation.

2087
01:12:35,950 --> 01:12:38,470
And I'm thinking they really have some problems

2088
01:12:38,470 --> 01:12:39,110
at NPR.

2089
01:12:39,330 --> 01:12:41,370
They must be just on the phone all

2090
01:12:41,370 --> 01:12:41,990
the time.

2091
01:12:42,350 --> 01:12:44,670
And it found that we're interrupted by our

2092
01:12:44,670 --> 01:12:48,050
smartphones every 13 minutes of our time awake.

2093
01:12:48,750 --> 01:12:50,530
So what would it be like to just

2094
01:12:50,530 --> 01:12:51,310
give it up?

2095
01:12:51,950 --> 01:12:54,590
August Lamb is an artist, an influencer, and

2096
01:12:54,590 --> 01:12:55,230
an activist.

2097
01:12:55,650 --> 01:12:57,530
And she published a couple of op eds

2098
01:12:57,530 --> 01:12:59,050
in the New York Times and the Guardian

2099
01:12:59,050 --> 01:13:01,930
about hitting a breaking point with her smartphone.

2100
01:13:02,470 --> 01:13:05,410
And so she made a bold move.

2101
01:13:05,690 --> 01:13:05,790
Bold.

2102
01:13:06,170 --> 01:13:08,830
She downgraded to a dumb phone.

2103
01:13:09,350 --> 01:13:14,030
My smartphone, it represented my social life and

2104
01:13:14,030 --> 01:13:15,410
also represented my work.

2105
01:13:15,590 --> 01:13:16,990
And so it felt a bit like I

2106
01:13:16,990 --> 01:13:19,410
was carrying around the office with me all

2107
01:13:19,410 --> 01:13:19,750
day.

2108
01:13:19,890 --> 01:13:21,750
And then the pressure to keep that up

2109
01:13:21,750 --> 01:13:23,510
and to keep the attention on me in

2110
01:13:23,510 --> 01:13:27,170
order to make money was ultimately too much

2111
01:13:27,170 --> 01:13:27,950
for me to handle.

2112
01:13:28,130 --> 01:13:29,850
And I just reached a breaking point.

2113
01:13:30,350 --> 01:13:32,290
So going back to when you first made

2114
01:13:32,290 --> 01:13:34,070
this switch, what were some of the things

2115
01:13:34,070 --> 01:13:35,330
that surprised you the most?

2116
01:13:35,770 --> 01:13:36,970
It was really psychological.

2117
01:13:37,370 --> 01:13:39,670
That's what surprised me is that there was

2118
01:13:39,670 --> 01:13:43,490
the barrier of being bored and not knowing

2119
01:13:43,490 --> 01:13:44,650
how to entertain myself.

2120
01:13:45,090 --> 01:13:46,310
It wasn't about hobbies.

2121
01:13:46,430 --> 01:13:47,990
It was about being in my own mind.

2122
01:13:48,710 --> 01:13:50,770
And at that point, my thoughts were not

2123
01:13:50,770 --> 01:13:53,010
very stimulating because I wasn't used to having

2124
01:13:53,010 --> 01:13:53,270
them.

2125
01:13:53,870 --> 01:13:53,990
Absolutely.

2126
01:13:54,310 --> 01:13:54,810
She's right.

2127
01:13:55,690 --> 01:13:56,230
She's right.

2128
01:13:57,010 --> 01:13:58,630
Now, this is what irks me about this

2129
01:13:58,630 --> 01:14:01,510
presentation is I'm now two years into keeping

2130
01:14:01,510 --> 01:14:01,970
the...

2131
01:14:01,970 --> 01:14:03,110
I've gone beyond this.

2132
01:14:03,170 --> 01:14:04,750
I don't think it's a smartphone that's the

2133
01:14:04,750 --> 01:14:06,470
issue or a dumb phone like a flip

2134
01:14:06,470 --> 01:14:06,790
phone.

2135
01:14:06,930 --> 01:14:07,810
You still have the phone.

2136
01:14:08,010 --> 01:14:09,930
It's the apps and the notifications the apps

2137
01:14:09,930 --> 01:14:10,430
give you.

2138
01:14:11,990 --> 01:14:13,970
If you have the phone in a drawer,

2139
01:14:14,530 --> 01:14:18,070
which mine currently is, and it's in the

2140
01:14:18,070 --> 01:14:20,130
drawer, I probably take it out.

2141
01:14:20,370 --> 01:14:22,710
Like if I have to do something recently,

2142
01:14:22,810 --> 01:14:24,150
I had to go and use an Uber.

2143
01:14:24,310 --> 01:14:25,210
So what am I going to do?

2144
01:14:25,270 --> 01:14:27,170
There's no way of getting an Uber without

2145
01:14:27,170 --> 01:14:28,130
this damn phone.

2146
01:14:28,770 --> 01:14:30,370
And so I took the phone out of

2147
01:14:30,370 --> 01:14:31,910
the drawer, use it to get the Uber,

2148
01:14:32,070 --> 01:14:33,590
use it to get back, and then I'd

2149
01:14:33,590 --> 01:14:35,010
put the phone back in the drawer where

2150
01:14:35,010 --> 01:14:35,530
it belongs.

2151
01:14:38,890 --> 01:14:41,270
But I have to refer back to when

2152
01:14:41,270 --> 01:14:42,750
I first did this.

2153
01:14:42,990 --> 01:14:44,690
I talked about this on Horowitz a little

2154
01:14:44,690 --> 01:14:44,970
bit.

2155
01:14:46,070 --> 01:14:49,450
And for one thing, I've been phone-less.

2156
01:14:49,750 --> 01:14:50,470
I don't call it that.

2157
01:14:50,530 --> 01:14:50,990
Phone-less.

2158
01:14:51,050 --> 01:14:52,930
I don't take the phone as a navigator.

2159
01:14:53,110 --> 01:14:53,210
Phone-less.

2160
01:14:53,210 --> 01:14:53,370
Yes.

2161
01:14:53,450 --> 01:14:54,670
I don't take the phone and put it

2162
01:14:54,670 --> 01:14:54,930
in the car.

2163
01:14:54,950 --> 01:14:56,110
I don't drive around with the phone.

2164
01:14:56,650 --> 01:14:58,270
I've been phone-less for two years.

2165
01:14:58,410 --> 01:14:59,990
I could have written these editorials.

2166
01:15:00,130 --> 01:15:03,330
She's writing an unknown woman is writing an

2167
01:15:03,330 --> 01:15:04,790
editorial for the New York Times and the

2168
01:15:04,790 --> 01:15:06,470
Guardian about this, and all she's done is

2169
01:15:06,470 --> 01:15:07,870
downgrade to a flip phone.

2170
01:15:08,090 --> 01:15:08,230
Okay.

2171
01:15:08,790 --> 01:15:10,770
That's not going all the way the way

2172
01:15:10,770 --> 01:15:11,290
I see it.

2173
01:15:11,650 --> 01:15:15,430
But this happened to me, because what happened,

2174
01:15:15,510 --> 01:15:16,110
I had a phone.

2175
01:15:16,190 --> 01:15:17,950
I was using it like a normal person

2176
01:15:17,950 --> 01:15:19,670
or abnormal person.

2177
01:15:19,670 --> 01:15:19,770
Oh, wait.

2178
01:15:19,830 --> 01:15:21,530
We're hearing the genesis of the drawer.

2179
01:15:22,590 --> 01:15:22,810
Yeah.

2180
01:15:23,030 --> 01:15:23,330
Okay.

2181
01:15:23,670 --> 01:15:23,910
All right.

2182
01:15:23,970 --> 01:15:25,110
The genesis of the drawer.

2183
01:15:26,070 --> 01:15:27,690
Another Dvorak anecdote.

2184
01:15:31,210 --> 01:15:33,190
The genesis of the drawer.

2185
01:15:34,190 --> 01:15:37,130
I was using the cheap $30-a-month

2186
01:15:37,130 --> 01:15:38,210
T-Mobile plan.

2187
01:15:39,390 --> 01:15:41,730
Which is- Because even before I went

2188
01:15:41,730 --> 01:15:43,730
to the drawer, I was always on a

2189
01:15:43,730 --> 01:15:45,250
cheap plan, as cheap as I could get.

2190
01:15:45,330 --> 01:15:46,850
And if I needed extra data or something,

2191
01:15:46,890 --> 01:15:48,070
I could buy it on the fly.

2192
01:15:48,590 --> 01:15:50,490
And so I found this cheap plan that

2193
01:15:50,490 --> 01:15:52,170
T-Mobile had for 30 bucks.

2194
01:15:52,510 --> 01:15:54,950
And by the way, the current phone I

2195
01:15:54,950 --> 01:15:57,550
now use, which is in the drawer, is

2196
01:15:57,550 --> 01:15:57,670
a T-Mobile.

2197
01:15:58,150 --> 01:16:01,770
And the max price is $15 a month.

2198
01:16:02,130 --> 01:16:02,850
There you go.

2199
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,470
Nice.

2200
01:16:03,810 --> 01:16:06,430
But I had the $30 plan for T

2201
01:16:06,430 --> 01:16:08,190
-Mobile, and it died on me, and I

2202
01:16:08,190 --> 01:16:09,790
couldn't renew it for some reason on the

2203
01:16:09,790 --> 01:16:10,010
phone.

2204
01:16:10,090 --> 01:16:12,250
So I went to the T-Mobile store.

2205
01:16:13,050 --> 01:16:14,330
So I go to the T-Mobile store,

2206
01:16:14,450 --> 01:16:15,750
and they got this idiot.

2207
01:16:16,050 --> 01:16:16,530
He sets me up.

2208
01:16:16,570 --> 01:16:17,850
He said, well, yeah, $30.

2209
01:16:18,310 --> 01:16:19,730
Here, we give you this plan.

2210
01:16:19,770 --> 01:16:20,470
He set me up.

2211
01:16:20,810 --> 01:16:22,310
And it turned out that when I got

2212
01:16:22,310 --> 01:16:26,110
home, it was a data-only plan, which

2213
01:16:26,110 --> 01:16:27,530
I didn't even know existed.

2214
01:16:27,670 --> 01:16:29,570
So you couldn't make a call or text?

2215
01:16:29,570 --> 01:16:30,270
I couldn't make a call.

2216
01:16:30,470 --> 01:16:31,390
So this was a data-only.

2217
01:16:31,530 --> 01:16:32,910
So I called T-Mobile, and they said,

2218
01:16:33,030 --> 01:16:34,810
oh, well, yeah, well, you can come in

2219
01:16:34,810 --> 01:16:36,530
for 45 bucks or something.

2220
01:16:36,910 --> 01:16:39,110
And I got so pissed off, I said,

2221
01:16:39,190 --> 01:16:40,350
screw these guys.

2222
01:16:40,730 --> 01:16:42,330
I'm going to find some other system.

2223
01:16:42,830 --> 01:16:44,670
And I decided I was going to move

2224
01:16:44,670 --> 01:16:46,930
back to track phone or something super cheap.

2225
01:16:46,950 --> 01:16:47,870
And metro cellular.

2226
01:16:47,890 --> 01:16:49,190
But I put the drawer in the phone,

2227
01:16:51,030 --> 01:16:53,270
and I never took it out.

2228
01:16:53,470 --> 01:16:55,250
I never did any of this other stuff

2229
01:16:55,250 --> 01:16:59,390
except to eventually get a track phone account

2230
01:16:59,390 --> 01:17:02,810
for the Uber at 15 bucks.

2231
01:17:03,650 --> 01:17:05,610
And so it was T-Mobile that actually

2232
01:17:05,610 --> 01:17:06,310
triggered this.

2233
01:17:06,450 --> 01:17:08,390
And once I got the phone in the

2234
01:17:08,390 --> 01:17:10,450
drawer, and I'd go to the store, and

2235
01:17:10,450 --> 01:17:11,710
I didn't have the phone after a while.

2236
01:17:11,970 --> 01:17:14,030
It takes about a week or two.

2237
01:17:14,130 --> 01:17:16,350
It takes about two weeks before you realize

2238
01:17:16,350 --> 01:17:19,570
that you don't need the time.

2239
01:17:20,170 --> 01:17:22,090
And in situations where you do need a

2240
01:17:22,090 --> 01:17:23,990
phone, somebody's got one.

2241
01:17:24,370 --> 01:17:25,730
And you can have them do the work

2242
01:17:25,730 --> 01:17:26,010
for you.

2243
01:17:26,070 --> 01:17:28,190
I mean, this was the dinner table conversations

2244
01:17:28,190 --> 01:17:31,030
used to be, everyone had their phone, and

2245
01:17:31,030 --> 01:17:32,130
somebody wanted to look something up.

2246
01:17:32,210 --> 01:17:33,850
I'd just tell, hey, look something, look up

2247
01:17:33,850 --> 01:17:35,510
this on your, you got your phone, I

2248
01:17:35,510 --> 01:17:35,990
always said.

2249
01:17:36,270 --> 01:17:38,110
You got your phone right there, look it

2250
01:17:38,110 --> 01:17:38,390
up.

2251
01:17:39,050 --> 01:17:41,610
And so people would always, you know, scatter

2252
01:17:41,610 --> 01:17:43,470
to their phones and look stuff up and

2253
01:17:43,470 --> 01:17:43,850
do that.

2254
01:17:44,090 --> 01:17:46,430
I realized I didn't need this stupid phone

2255
01:17:46,430 --> 01:17:46,950
with me.

2256
01:17:46,950 --> 01:17:49,590
Well, but you, okay, but there is one

2257
01:17:49,590 --> 01:17:51,510
small point you're overlooking.

2258
01:17:52,130 --> 01:17:54,250
You, yes, you go to, you go out,

2259
01:17:54,370 --> 01:17:56,310
you go places, but you're not like most

2260
01:17:56,310 --> 01:17:59,550
people who are out all day long and

2261
01:17:59,550 --> 01:18:00,610
need the phone.

2262
01:18:01,190 --> 01:18:02,110
What do you need it for?

2263
01:18:02,550 --> 01:18:05,810
For, to be interrupted every 13 minutes, apparently.

2264
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:09,530
The thing, so here, and Apple is a

2265
01:18:09,530 --> 01:18:10,410
big part of the problem.

2266
01:18:11,210 --> 01:18:13,070
This texting used to be great.

2267
01:18:13,170 --> 01:18:15,810
The BlackBerry, for me, was the ultimate phone.

2268
01:18:15,930 --> 01:18:17,410
It was a texting machine.

2269
01:18:18,270 --> 01:18:20,330
You could text with two thumbs.

2270
01:18:20,510 --> 01:18:21,170
It had a tactile.

2271
01:18:21,350 --> 01:18:22,410
This is how you, this is when you

2272
01:18:22,410 --> 01:18:23,330
first got addicted.

2273
01:18:23,470 --> 01:18:23,930
I want to say.

2274
01:18:23,950 --> 01:18:25,590
No, no, no, no, no, stop.

2275
01:18:25,990 --> 01:18:26,750
Okay, go ahead.

2276
01:18:26,870 --> 01:18:27,990
I want to go ahead, Kara.

2277
01:18:28,210 --> 01:18:29,150
One more story.

2278
01:18:30,210 --> 01:18:32,730
I used to, I remember the BlackBerry era,

2279
01:18:33,170 --> 01:18:34,430
and there were all these guys with their

2280
01:18:34,430 --> 01:18:36,330
BlackBerry, and they're always texting on it.

2281
01:18:36,350 --> 01:18:37,350
They're constantly on it.

2282
01:18:37,610 --> 01:18:38,950
So I'm on a plane with a friend

2283
01:18:38,950 --> 01:18:40,450
of mine who's a BlackBerry nut.

2284
01:18:40,530 --> 01:18:41,650
He's got this thing constantly.

2285
01:18:41,790 --> 01:18:43,890
He's looking, it's not the same as today's

2286
01:18:43,890 --> 01:18:45,430
phone, where people are walking down the street.

2287
01:18:45,490 --> 01:18:47,590
I saw a guy yesterday walking his dog,

2288
01:18:47,870 --> 01:18:49,210
looking at the phone, and the guy's going

2289
01:18:49,210 --> 01:18:52,010
to kill himself, walking, wandering around with the

2290
01:18:52,010 --> 01:18:54,370
dogs, pulling wherever he wants, because the guy's

2291
01:18:54,370 --> 01:18:55,610
not even seeing where he's walking.

2292
01:18:56,350 --> 01:18:58,470
So the BlackBerry guy, so the guy, we

2293
01:18:58,470 --> 01:19:01,230
flew, and it was, the BlackBerry had to

2294
01:19:01,230 --> 01:19:02,930
be off on the flight, and this guy

2295
01:19:02,930 --> 01:19:06,110
got, it was a three or four hour

2296
01:19:06,110 --> 01:19:08,750
flight, and as the flight continued, you could

2297
01:19:08,750 --> 01:19:10,870
see him getting more and more and more

2298
01:19:10,870 --> 01:19:13,670
nervous, and getting jittery.

2299
01:19:14,030 --> 01:19:16,630
And so when we finally landed, he jumped

2300
01:19:16,630 --> 01:19:18,930
on that BlackBerry so fast, it was like

2301
01:19:18,930 --> 01:19:20,550
to see what the hell was going on,

2302
01:19:20,570 --> 01:19:22,750
because it was so important, but he wasn't

2303
01:19:22,750 --> 01:19:23,930
a doctor on call.

2304
01:19:24,030 --> 01:19:25,330
I mean, I don't get it.

2305
01:19:25,530 --> 01:19:27,410
And so I, and from then on, I've

2306
01:19:27,410 --> 01:19:29,670
always been very skeptical of these devices.

2307
01:19:31,130 --> 01:19:32,870
This is true, what you're saying.

2308
01:19:32,950 --> 01:19:34,850
That's why they call it the CrackBerry, and

2309
01:19:34,850 --> 01:19:36,850
that probably did start a lot of the

2310
01:19:36,850 --> 01:19:37,370
addiction.

2311
01:19:38,610 --> 01:19:41,230
But today, I find the only thing you

2312
01:19:41,230 --> 01:19:44,370
really need is the ability to text somebody.

2313
01:19:45,150 --> 01:19:47,350
I like being able to take a picture,

2314
01:19:47,950 --> 01:19:50,010
and I like being able to listen to

2315
01:19:50,010 --> 01:19:50,590
podcasts.

2316
01:19:50,790 --> 01:19:53,930
And I think it's handy to have some

2317
01:19:53,930 --> 01:19:57,030
kind of GPS-like functionality, because I am

2318
01:19:57,030 --> 01:19:57,570
challenged.

2319
01:19:57,930 --> 01:19:59,430
Above a thousand feet, I'm good.

2320
01:19:59,630 --> 01:20:01,850
I'm just, I just don't have this gene.

2321
01:20:01,990 --> 01:20:02,790
I don't know what it is.

2322
01:20:03,090 --> 01:20:05,330
Tina scoffs at me for it.

2323
01:20:05,390 --> 01:20:06,850
I just can't, I'm not good at it.

2324
01:20:07,250 --> 01:20:08,570
You can't find your way around.

2325
01:20:08,710 --> 01:20:09,690
I can't find my way around.

2326
01:20:11,030 --> 01:20:13,430
But for, now, I'm not talking about today's

2327
01:20:13,430 --> 01:20:13,790
texting.

2328
01:20:13,850 --> 01:20:16,530
I'm talking about just sending a message, not

2329
01:20:16,530 --> 01:20:20,250
these long threads with people in groups and

2330
01:20:20,250 --> 01:20:20,610
sending links.

2331
01:20:20,610 --> 01:20:21,370
Well, hold on a second.

2332
01:20:21,590 --> 01:20:23,050
I'm going to have to stop you.

2333
01:20:23,430 --> 01:20:24,930
Did you find your way around when you're

2334
01:20:24,930 --> 01:20:25,610
a little kid?

2335
01:20:25,750 --> 01:20:27,390
No, but I got hopelessly lost.

2336
01:20:27,510 --> 01:20:28,530
They had to come get me at the,

2337
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:29,850
I had to, like.

2338
01:20:30,210 --> 01:20:30,950
Okay, so it's always.

2339
01:20:31,750 --> 01:20:34,570
Could Adam's parents please come to the checkout?

2340
01:20:34,890 --> 01:20:35,650
He's lost.

2341
01:20:35,870 --> 01:20:36,410
That was me.

2342
01:20:37,350 --> 01:20:37,850
Oh, okay.

2343
01:20:37,950 --> 01:20:39,770
Well, because I think a lot of people

2344
01:20:39,770 --> 01:20:42,090
are losing their sense of being able to

2345
01:20:42,090 --> 01:20:42,670
find their way around.

2346
01:20:42,670 --> 01:20:43,870
It doesn't get any better.

2347
01:20:43,970 --> 01:20:44,490
Of course not.

2348
01:20:44,590 --> 01:20:45,570
There's no practice.

2349
01:20:45,730 --> 01:20:47,610
You don't, of course, that's obvious.

2350
01:20:47,810 --> 01:20:50,430
But I'm a 21st century man, so I

2351
01:20:50,430 --> 01:20:52,070
need to have some kind of direction.

2352
01:20:52,170 --> 01:20:54,070
But I'm fine with whatever's in my car.

2353
01:20:54,930 --> 01:20:55,590
You know, I'm okay.

2354
01:20:55,770 --> 01:20:56,950
It works fine enough.

2355
01:20:59,230 --> 01:21:02,710
So, I am very, I have one in

2356
01:21:02,710 --> 01:21:04,230
order, the Light Phone 3.

2357
01:21:04,410 --> 01:21:05,770
I've tried the Light Phone 2.

2358
01:21:06,990 --> 01:21:09,530
It had the right idea, but you couldn't

2359
01:21:09,530 --> 01:21:10,510
really text.

2360
01:21:10,550 --> 01:21:11,430
I just want to be able to send

2361
01:21:11,430 --> 01:21:11,810
a text.

2362
01:21:12,090 --> 01:21:13,710
And if someone sends me a link in

2363
01:21:13,710 --> 01:21:14,990
a text, I'm not going to get it.

2364
01:21:15,830 --> 01:21:17,830
It'll say, there's a link to this.

2365
01:21:17,890 --> 01:21:19,450
You can get that later on your computer.

2366
01:21:20,490 --> 01:21:22,190
I think you are able to send a

2367
01:21:22,190 --> 01:21:23,090
picture to somebody.

2368
01:21:23,090 --> 01:21:25,570
But the limitation is important.

2369
01:21:26,030 --> 01:21:27,090
It's important.

2370
01:21:27,210 --> 01:21:28,830
That's why there's only 20 cigarettes in a

2371
01:21:28,830 --> 01:21:29,090
pack.

2372
01:21:30,150 --> 01:21:31,910
You got to be out of them at

2373
01:21:31,910 --> 01:21:32,890
a certain point.

2374
01:21:33,850 --> 01:21:37,390
But it is a health crisis.

2375
01:21:38,030 --> 01:21:40,470
And I'm happy that the people who are

2376
01:21:40,470 --> 01:21:44,970
mainly responsible for all of this nonsense, Apple,

2377
01:21:45,170 --> 01:21:47,130
that they're going to get dinged.

2378
01:21:48,170 --> 01:21:50,890
And, you know, just, yes, I'm all for

2379
01:21:50,890 --> 01:21:53,170
just a simple phone with text and phone

2380
01:21:53,170 --> 01:21:56,210
and some, you know, I like to take

2381
01:21:56,210 --> 01:21:56,670
a picture.

2382
01:21:57,170 --> 01:21:59,330
And if it has a hotspot, that's even

2383
01:21:59,330 --> 01:21:59,610
better.

2384
01:21:59,730 --> 01:22:01,650
So, if I really needed to hook up

2385
01:22:01,650 --> 01:22:03,030
a computer, I can hook up a computer.

2386
01:22:03,390 --> 01:22:04,910
Let's listen to the second of this clip

2387
01:22:04,910 --> 01:22:07,550
because we're only through the first one in

2388
01:22:07,550 --> 01:22:08,110
the series.

2389
01:22:08,990 --> 01:22:09,990
It can only get better.

2390
01:22:09,990 --> 01:22:12,590
So, a lot of people go their whole

2391
01:22:12,590 --> 01:22:15,050
day without ever having a moment to just

2392
01:22:15,050 --> 01:22:15,410
think.

2393
01:22:15,570 --> 01:22:18,450
It's constant media, whether you're listening to music

2394
01:22:18,450 --> 01:22:20,810
or podcasts or audiobooks.

2395
01:22:21,170 --> 01:22:22,690
So, then when you actually give yourself space

2396
01:22:22,690 --> 01:22:24,350
to think, you're not used to it.

2397
01:22:24,390 --> 01:22:26,190
You're sort of out of practice and your

2398
01:22:26,190 --> 01:22:31,150
thoughts are pretty quiet or alternatively, they're frightening

2399
01:22:31,150 --> 01:22:32,750
because you haven't thought them for so long.

2400
01:22:32,770 --> 01:22:34,070
You haven't dealt with any of your emotions.

2401
01:22:34,310 --> 01:22:36,250
So, it was an uncomfortable experience for me

2402
01:22:36,250 --> 01:22:37,890
just being in my own mind.

2403
01:22:38,010 --> 01:22:40,350
And then as time went on, my thoughts

2404
01:22:40,350 --> 01:22:42,650
became a lot more interesting and stimulating.

2405
01:22:42,650 --> 01:22:46,350
And now I'll happily walk around for hours

2406
01:22:46,350 --> 01:22:47,730
without headphones and just think.

2407
01:22:48,670 --> 01:22:51,710
Was there a period in there, though, before

2408
01:22:51,710 --> 01:22:53,670
that where you were really tempted to go

2409
01:22:53,670 --> 01:22:53,990
back?

2410
01:22:54,770 --> 01:22:55,590
Oh, absolutely.

2411
01:22:55,850 --> 01:22:58,230
I had a lot of stumbling blocks along

2412
01:22:58,230 --> 01:22:58,590
the way.

2413
01:22:59,270 --> 01:23:01,270
I was infuriated.

2414
01:23:01,270 --> 01:23:03,210
I felt like I was in solitary confinement

2415
01:23:03,210 --> 01:23:04,230
in my own mind.

2416
01:23:04,790 --> 01:23:06,850
And I'm really glad that I pushed through

2417
01:23:06,850 --> 01:23:07,170
that.

2418
01:23:07,410 --> 01:23:09,290
I did also try an iPod for a

2419
01:23:09,290 --> 01:23:09,610
while.

2420
01:23:09,910 --> 01:23:11,750
I got an old iPod, but I don't

2421
01:23:11,750 --> 01:23:12,550
need that anymore.

2422
01:23:13,590 --> 01:23:16,150
So, how has giving up your smartphone impacted

2423
01:23:16,150 --> 01:23:17,110
your relationships?

2424
01:23:17,710 --> 01:23:20,010
My relationships are stronger because when I'm actually

2425
01:23:20,010 --> 01:23:22,330
spending time with these people in person, I'm

2426
01:23:22,330 --> 01:23:25,190
fully present and I'm fully listening and I'm

2427
01:23:25,190 --> 01:23:26,890
not waiting for the interaction to end so

2428
01:23:26,890 --> 01:23:28,350
I can check my email again.

2429
01:23:29,310 --> 01:23:31,870
When you think about the current news environment,

2430
01:23:32,270 --> 01:23:35,570
some people may feel anxious reading the news

2431
01:23:35,570 --> 01:23:37,690
and knowing what's going on, but many people

2432
01:23:37,690 --> 01:23:40,250
may feel anxious not knowing what's happening or

2433
01:23:40,250 --> 01:23:41,910
a responsibility to stay informed.

2434
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:44,070
What would you say to someone who is

2435
01:23:44,070 --> 01:23:47,350
maybe feeling cut off from what's happening around

2436
01:23:47,350 --> 01:23:48,330
them without a smartphone?

2437
01:23:48,870 --> 01:23:52,350
I think there's a health and a simplicity

2438
01:23:52,350 --> 01:23:58,710
to reading things that are collected and presented

2439
01:23:58,710 --> 01:24:02,890
once in a while, not constantly, and not

2440
01:24:02,890 --> 01:24:05,230
hearing about news the moment it happens before

2441
01:24:05,230 --> 01:24:07,390
the questions are answered and before things are

2442
01:24:07,390 --> 01:24:08,050
clarified.

2443
01:24:11,260 --> 01:24:12,560
It's a health crisis.

2444
01:24:13,460 --> 01:24:14,580
Where's Bobby the Op?

2445
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,620
It's a health crisis, these phones.

2446
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:20,720
Yeah, that's going to be low on the

2447
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:21,080
list.

2448
01:24:21,620 --> 01:24:21,900
Yeah.

2449
01:24:22,340 --> 01:24:23,420
Well, fluoride first.

2450
01:24:23,500 --> 01:24:24,200
He's doing that.

2451
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:25,940
And then...

2452
01:24:25,940 --> 01:24:27,040
That's about time.

2453
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:28,420
Talk about overdue.

2454
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:29,540
Yeah, yeah.

2455
01:24:29,660 --> 01:24:30,500
All right, last clip.

2456
01:24:30,780 --> 01:24:32,980
It's a feeling of civic duty to check

2457
01:24:32,980 --> 01:24:35,580
the news and that can be a great

2458
01:24:35,580 --> 01:24:39,280
excuse when you, deep down, just want entertainment

2459
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:40,700
and you don't want to be in reality.

2460
01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:44,720
You want to be away from the problems

2461
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:46,260
of your own life or from the boredom

2462
01:24:46,260 --> 01:24:46,620
of it.

2463
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,500
So I would just suggest...

2464
01:24:49,500 --> 01:24:51,820
By the way, you could replace phone here

2465
01:24:51,820 --> 01:24:56,440
for cigarettes, crack, meth, alcohol.

2466
01:24:57,320 --> 01:24:58,500
All of those apply.

2467
01:24:58,620 --> 01:25:01,920
This is pure addiction and it's tailored for

2468
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:02,300
addiction.

2469
01:25:02,780 --> 01:25:03,360
We know this.

2470
01:25:03,420 --> 01:25:04,200
This is no secret.

2471
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:07,180
So, you know, what is NPR's problem?

2472
01:25:07,440 --> 01:25:09,400
You want to be away from the problems

2473
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:10,940
of your own life or from the boredom

2474
01:25:10,940 --> 01:25:11,300
of it.

2475
01:25:11,860 --> 01:25:14,820
So I would just suggest getting the newspaper

2476
01:25:14,820 --> 01:25:16,220
or if you have to do it digitally,

2477
01:25:16,480 --> 01:25:20,020
you know, getting one digital update, but not

2478
01:25:20,020 --> 01:25:24,700
this endless scroll, not these sort of belligerent

2479
01:25:24,700 --> 01:25:28,540
notifications about the news, because it just makes

2480
01:25:28,540 --> 01:25:30,280
it so you're never in one place.

2481
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:32,620
You're never in the place of reading the

2482
01:25:32,620 --> 01:25:33,800
news and you're never in the place of

2483
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,000
your actual circumstances.

2484
01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:36,880
You're always in between.

2485
01:25:38,220 --> 01:25:39,160
That's August Lamb.

2486
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:41,720
She's an artist, writer, and activist who recently

2487
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:43,840
published pieces in The Guardian and New York

2488
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:45,360
Times about giving up her smartphone.

2489
01:25:45,620 --> 01:25:47,160
August, thank you so much for talking to

2490
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:47,460
me today.

2491
01:25:47,740 --> 01:25:48,800
Yeah, thanks for having me.

2492
01:25:48,820 --> 01:25:50,820
So I think what's going on here is

2493
01:25:50,820 --> 01:25:53,500
you're just mad that they're getting this woman,

2494
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:57,780
this artist and activist when they really should

2495
01:25:57,780 --> 01:25:59,320
have been interviewing you.

2496
01:25:59,820 --> 01:26:00,460
Well, you know what?

2497
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:01,380
Have you written this up?

2498
01:26:01,380 --> 01:26:02,880
I'm a tech guy that doesn't use a

2499
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:03,540
smartphone.

2500
01:26:03,740 --> 01:26:04,640
How does that work?

2501
01:26:04,700 --> 01:26:05,280
I mean, no, no.

2502
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:07,820
It's much more interesting than some artist activist.

2503
01:26:08,060 --> 01:26:10,100
I have told you what you're doing wrong.

2504
01:26:10,100 --> 01:26:12,340
If you now is the time.

2505
01:26:12,980 --> 01:26:15,100
This is an exit strategy for you and

2506
01:26:15,100 --> 01:26:15,720
for you only.

2507
01:26:15,860 --> 01:26:16,720
And I would support it.

2508
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,320
You need to become the tech grouch again.

2509
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,500
Once you're the tech grouch, everybody will want

2510
01:26:22,500 --> 01:26:23,580
to interview you.

2511
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:25,160
And then, of course, you've got to schlep

2512
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:26,880
around that outfit all over the place.

2513
01:26:27,140 --> 01:26:28,620
And you've got to keep the voice going.

2514
01:26:29,220 --> 01:26:30,380
iPhone, smartphone.

2515
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:32,040
I got a Bakelite phone.

2516
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:32,820
It's fine.

2517
01:26:33,220 --> 01:26:34,500
People will love you.

2518
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:36,380
They will glom on to the tech grouch.

2519
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:37,200
I'm working on it.

2520
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:39,200
I'm getting the green screen this week.

2521
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,240
There will be chicks in college with T

2522
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:41,420
-shirts.

2523
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,900
I love the tech grouch.

2524
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:46,100
Yes, yes.

2525
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:48,200
This is the direction you need to go.

2526
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:52,340
This is your third breath of life.

2527
01:26:53,300 --> 01:26:53,940
Let's face it.

2528
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:55,760
Podcasting is played, man.

2529
01:26:55,780 --> 01:26:56,800
You got to go back to being the

2530
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:57,420
tech grouch.

2531
01:26:57,800 --> 01:26:59,160
That was sexy.

2532
01:26:59,320 --> 01:26:59,820
That was hot.

2533
01:26:59,920 --> 01:27:00,800
People loved it.

2534
01:27:02,460 --> 01:27:03,780
Well, the time is now.

2535
01:27:03,980 --> 01:27:04,960
The time is right.

2536
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:05,620
Time is right.

2537
01:27:05,620 --> 01:27:08,880
While we're on technology, by the way, I

2538
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:10,460
saw another CNBC.

2539
01:27:11,020 --> 01:27:11,460
Quantum!

2540
01:27:12,020 --> 01:27:12,420
Quantum!

2541
01:27:12,820 --> 01:27:13,480
It's all quantum!

2542
01:27:14,580 --> 01:27:16,780
Somebody was in the EU going on and

2543
01:27:16,780 --> 01:27:17,760
on about one thing or another.

2544
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:19,000
And as soon as they dropped the word

2545
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,240
quantum, yeah, once we get to AI and

2546
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:21,920
then quantum.

2547
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:22,820
It's all quantum.

2548
01:27:22,980 --> 01:27:24,180
You know that they don't know what they're

2549
01:27:24,180 --> 01:27:24,400
doing.

2550
01:27:24,620 --> 01:27:25,840
They're idiots.

2551
01:27:26,220 --> 01:27:27,240
It's all quantum.

2552
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:28,820
It's all quantum.

2553
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:34,240
And so Amazon, arguably a very successful technology

2554
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,420
company with their Amazon Web Services, AWS.

2555
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,240
And, you know, every startup uses them.

2556
01:27:40,440 --> 01:27:42,760
So they finally come out with their new

2557
01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:44,880
NovaSonic.

2558
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:46,920
Amazon's NovaSonic.

2559
01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:48,820
This is AI.

2560
01:27:49,260 --> 01:27:50,580
It's AI for voice.

2561
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:51,300
It's AI.

2562
01:27:51,820 --> 01:27:53,760
Well, they only really have one demo and

2563
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:54,720
one application.

2564
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:57,560
And I'm going to play it in real

2565
01:27:57,560 --> 01:27:57,900
time.

2566
01:27:57,980 --> 01:27:59,360
I could have cut out the pauses, but

2567
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:02,020
that doesn't give you the full experience of

2568
01:28:02,020 --> 01:28:04,820
the only thing AI so far is going

2569
01:28:04,820 --> 01:28:06,240
to be good for, and I think it

2570
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:09,880
sucks, is call centers and help desks.

2571
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:13,620
Here is the big Amazon NovaSonic demo.

2572
01:28:13,820 --> 01:28:16,940
Hi, is this Anytelco customer support?

2573
01:28:18,980 --> 01:28:19,960
Hello, yes.

2574
01:28:20,300 --> 01:28:22,400
This is Anytelco's customer support.

2575
01:28:22,860 --> 01:28:24,860
Can you please provide your phone number so

2576
01:28:24,860 --> 01:28:26,400
I can look up your account information?

2577
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:28,400
Um, sure.

2578
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:32,240
Yeah, it's 510-123-4567.

2579
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:34,000
Listen to the pause in between.

2580
01:28:35,020 --> 01:28:36,380
Thank you for providing your phone number.

2581
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:38,560
I've retrieved your account information.

2582
01:28:38,980 --> 01:28:40,140
How can I assist you today?

2583
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:42,760
Why is my bill this high?

2584
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:43,580
It's ridiculous.

2585
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:44,940
How are you charging me this much?

2586
01:28:46,970 --> 01:28:49,490
I understand your concern about the high bill.

2587
01:28:49,990 --> 01:28:51,030
Let's look into it.

2588
01:28:51,250 --> 01:28:52,170
Your current bill...

2589
01:28:52,170 --> 01:28:54,390
At this point, don't you just want to

2590
01:28:54,390 --> 01:28:56,370
rip your head off when you're talking?

2591
01:28:56,550 --> 01:28:59,530
You're like, what kind of human being can

2592
01:28:59,530 --> 01:29:01,030
interact with this this way?

2593
01:29:02,890 --> 01:29:06,350
This is actually one of the better examples.

2594
01:29:07,150 --> 01:29:09,010
AT&T uses the system.

2595
01:29:09,090 --> 01:29:10,090
And they have the do do do do

2596
01:29:10,090 --> 01:29:10,290
do do do do do do do do

2597
01:29:10,290 --> 01:29:10,390
do do do do do do do do

2598
01:29:10,390 --> 01:29:10,490
do do do do do...

2599
01:29:10,490 --> 01:29:11,310
in between when it's thinking.

2600
01:29:11,570 --> 01:29:12,370
Do do do do do do do do

2601
01:29:12,370 --> 01:29:12,530

01:29:12,530 --> 01:29:12,910

2604
01:29:13,410 --> 01:29:13,510
do do...

2605
01:29:13,510 --> 01:29:15,650
No, no, it's just I'm going to have

2606
01:29:15,650 --> 01:29:16,030
to record.

2607
01:29:16,170 --> 01:29:18,610
You know, I've been told to do this.

2608
01:29:18,650 --> 01:29:19,810
I'm going to have to get off the

2609
01:29:19,810 --> 01:29:21,850
stick and do it, which has rigged some

2610
01:29:21,850 --> 01:29:23,150
of these phones of mine up.

2611
01:29:23,150 --> 01:29:24,730
The landline!

2612
01:29:25,130 --> 01:29:25,950
The landline!

2613
01:29:26,410 --> 01:29:27,850
I had to rig these phones up so

2614
01:29:27,850 --> 01:29:29,950
I can record these calls because some of

2615
01:29:29,950 --> 01:29:33,730
these automated systems are so lame.

2616
01:29:34,290 --> 01:29:39,110
It's like, you can't afford some dollar-an

2617
01:29:39,110 --> 01:29:41,690
-hour person in India, I mean, who can

2618
01:29:41,690 --> 01:29:43,990
barely speak English, that would be better than

2619
01:29:43,990 --> 01:29:44,370
this.

2620
01:29:44,490 --> 01:29:45,450
Yeah, the true AI.

2621
01:29:45,670 --> 01:29:47,310
Anonymous Indian, that's what we need.

2622
01:29:50,210 --> 01:29:52,030
Always name Steve.

2623
01:29:57,010 --> 01:30:00,210
Actually, I got an interesting, what was this,

2624
01:30:01,630 --> 01:30:06,010
where was it, there was a TikTok ad.

2625
01:30:06,790 --> 01:30:08,390
TikTok, I have a couple of TikToks.

2626
01:30:08,550 --> 01:30:09,870
Yeah, good, I'm going to set you up.

2627
01:30:10,010 --> 01:30:10,990
First, I'm going to play the clip, then

2628
01:30:10,990 --> 01:30:11,830
I have something to read.

2629
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,360
TikTok literally helped Dan O's grow from a

2630
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:20,920
one-man show to 45 team members in

2631
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:21,580
Louisville, Kentucky.

2632
01:30:22,780 --> 01:30:24,340
There's no way I'd be able to support

2633
01:30:24,340 --> 01:30:26,140
this building or any of my employees without

2634
01:30:26,140 --> 01:30:26,700
TikTok.

2635
01:30:27,060 --> 01:30:28,140
It's not just about me anymore.

2636
01:30:29,700 --> 01:30:32,380
TikTok brings in so much foot traffic.

2637
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:35,060
To be able to have 28 employees and

2638
01:30:35,060 --> 01:30:37,920
everybody's paid well, it's just a blessing.

2639
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:42,200
It's a blessing, it's a blessing.

2640
01:30:42,480 --> 01:30:44,520
So there's more than a few of those

2641
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:45,840
ads out there, I've seen a bunch of

2642
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:45,940
them.

2643
01:30:45,940 --> 01:30:48,720
We have a number of producers who are

2644
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:52,820
inside the TikTok ecosystem and they received an

2645
01:30:52,820 --> 01:30:58,280
email from TikTok, a subject line, this plays

2646
01:30:58,280 --> 01:30:59,680
on something we talked about on the last

2647
01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:03,440
show, important de minimis announcement for TikTok shop.

2648
01:31:04,140 --> 01:31:04,640
What?

2649
01:31:04,900 --> 01:31:05,580
De minimis?

2650
01:31:05,740 --> 01:31:06,660
De minimis, yes.

2651
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:09,540
You know, it will explain de minimis.

2652
01:31:09,740 --> 01:31:12,280
I don't know the explanation, it's just a

2653
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:14,320
dumb phrase that's used for some reason or

2654
01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:14,520
other.

2655
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:18,140
Well, de minimis is the under $800 packages

2656
01:31:18,140 --> 01:31:19,360
that now...

2657
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:19,940
Oh, that's right.

2658
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:21,620
It was talked about that Trump dropped these

2659
01:31:21,620 --> 01:31:22,140
de minimis.

2660
01:31:22,140 --> 01:31:22,380
Yes.

2661
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:26,100
Hello TikTok shop sellers, we want to ensure

2662
01:31:26,100 --> 01:31:28,120
you're informed of the changes to the de

2663
01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:32,340
minimis exemption for goods originating from certain countries.

2664
01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:34,820
What is the de minimis exception?

2665
01:31:35,300 --> 01:31:35,720
Exemption.

2666
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:37,360
And then it has a link.

2667
01:31:38,960 --> 01:31:42,100
Currently exempt shipments valued at or under $800

2668
01:31:42,100 --> 01:31:43,780
USD from tariffs.

2669
01:31:43,900 --> 01:31:44,380
What changed?

2670
01:31:44,740 --> 01:31:46,540
The U.S. government announced plans to remove

2671
01:31:46,540 --> 01:31:50,460
de minimis treatment for products from China, including

2672
01:31:50,460 --> 01:31:52,880
Hong Kong effective May 2nd, 2025.

2673
01:31:53,100 --> 01:31:53,920
What does this mean?

2674
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:56,260
Well, when the de minimis exemption is removed

2675
01:31:56,260 --> 01:31:57,940
from a country's goods, duties will be applicable

2676
01:31:57,940 --> 01:32:00,380
to all impacted shipments regardless of value and

2677
01:32:00,380 --> 01:32:03,220
additional supporting documentation may be required to import

2678
01:32:03,220 --> 01:32:05,860
previously exempt goods into the U.S. What

2679
01:32:05,860 --> 01:32:06,600
happens now?

2680
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:09,220
Sellers should continue to ensure they are familiar

2681
01:32:09,220 --> 01:32:11,600
with all requirements for importing goods into the

2682
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:13,540
U.S. We are actively monitoring these developments.

2683
01:32:13,900 --> 01:32:15,160
We'll keep you informed.

2684
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:19,220
So there they got problems.

2685
01:32:19,580 --> 01:32:22,480
This whole operation was based on that.

2686
01:32:22,620 --> 01:32:27,600
And I saw this morning that Andrew, the

2687
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:30,360
Andrew New York Times character was interviewing the

2688
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:31,480
CEO of Amazon.

2689
01:32:32,060 --> 01:32:33,400
I wish I'd clipped it.

2690
01:32:33,740 --> 01:32:35,120
He said, so how about your bid for

2691
01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:35,480
TikTok?

2692
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:37,160
And he says, we never said we bid

2693
01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:37,620
for TikTok.

2694
01:32:37,860 --> 01:32:39,000
He said, well, it was reported, said that

2695
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:39,620
was reported.

2696
01:32:39,980 --> 01:32:41,520
So he's pretending like they didn't bid on

2697
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:43,580
it now, which I thought was interesting.

2698
01:32:44,100 --> 01:32:45,320
Well, they're bailing out.

2699
01:32:45,580 --> 01:32:45,960
Might be.

2700
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:47,280
Might be.

2701
01:32:47,440 --> 01:32:49,400
Yeah, this de minimis thing may be the

2702
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:53,500
besides being a $50 minimum, which really screws

2703
01:32:53,500 --> 01:32:55,520
up because before you just buy something for

2704
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:56,880
eight bucks and show up in the mail

2705
01:32:56,880 --> 01:32:58,060
in three or four days.

2706
01:32:58,180 --> 01:32:58,400
Yeah.

2707
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:01,060
Yeah, this is huge.

2708
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:03,540
Amazon is their big deal is we're going

2709
01:33:03,540 --> 01:33:04,700
to sell you drugs.

2710
01:33:06,140 --> 01:33:06,540
Pharmacy.

2711
01:33:06,900 --> 01:33:07,980
Pharmacy is what it's all about.

2712
01:33:07,980 --> 01:33:09,320
That's the last place I want to get

2713
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:09,440
it.

2714
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:09,780
No.

2715
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:13,500
Hey, if the CEO said if you're not

2716
01:33:13,500 --> 01:33:15,280
feeling well, it's great to get your medicine,

2717
01:33:15,500 --> 01:33:17,020
your meds within a few hours.

2718
01:33:17,980 --> 01:33:19,120
You don't want to have to go to

2719
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:20,720
Walmart or CVS.

2720
01:33:21,300 --> 01:33:22,800
You want to get it delivered to your

2721
01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:23,080
home.

2722
01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:25,380
You sick person.

2723
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:29,260
So I've run into I don't have I

2724
01:33:29,260 --> 01:33:32,120
only have two clips from TikTok, but they

2725
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:33,520
are they're short.

2726
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:34,800
One is only 10 seconds.

2727
01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:37,840
I have one, but I'll wait until yours

2728
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:38,160
are done.

2729
01:33:38,540 --> 01:33:39,700
Minor thematic.

2730
01:33:39,820 --> 01:33:42,160
These are women with grievances.

2731
01:33:42,740 --> 01:33:43,520
Oh, OK.

2732
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:44,920
Toward everybody.

2733
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:47,060
It seems to me they're just it's just

2734
01:33:47,060 --> 01:33:50,100
women with things just against men.

2735
01:33:50,260 --> 01:33:53,200
It's like I see the lesbians in got

2736
01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:56,280
in some sort of guise or I'm not

2737
01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:58,260
absolutely sure what what's causing this.

2738
01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:01,520
But the first one is, is the dinner

2739
01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:01,800
one.

2740
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:02,460
Let's play that.

2741
01:34:02,660 --> 01:34:03,700
Let me just go ahead and get this

2742
01:34:03,700 --> 01:34:04,500
out there right now.

2743
01:34:04,580 --> 01:34:05,760
If a man ever looks at me and

2744
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:07,020
says, hey, babe, what's for dinner?

2745
01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:10,120
And like means it like assumes I'm in

2746
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:10,920
charge of dinner.

2747
01:34:11,020 --> 01:34:11,800
What's for dinner?

2748
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:12,380
Divorce.

2749
01:34:12,500 --> 01:34:13,160
That's what's for dinner.

2750
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,300
That's just engagement farming.

2751
01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:21,040
She she's not going to divorce anybody.

2752
01:34:21,500 --> 01:34:22,800
She's not going to get married.

2753
01:34:23,580 --> 01:34:24,820
Not if she doesn't cook.

2754
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:26,480
And here's another one.

2755
01:34:26,540 --> 01:34:28,300
This is a single mom with a bunch

2756
01:34:28,300 --> 01:34:31,360
of kids who is now putting demands on

2757
01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:32,640
who she's going to date.

2758
01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:35,000
These are the requirements that you need to

2759
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:37,020
have in order to take me a single

2760
01:34:37,020 --> 01:34:37,920
mom of three kids.

2761
01:34:38,480 --> 01:34:40,760
Number one is that you need to be

2762
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:42,920
making at least one hundred thirty K a

2763
01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:44,740
year and you need to have at least

2764
01:34:44,740 --> 01:34:45,620
two side hustles.

2765
01:34:45,820 --> 01:34:47,300
If you cannot make one hundred thirty K

2766
01:34:47,300 --> 01:34:49,320
or more, then you are out of my

2767
01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:49,800
fucking league.

2768
01:34:50,140 --> 01:34:51,660
How do you expect to give me money

2769
01:34:51,660 --> 01:34:53,680
for my kids if you only make fifty

2770
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:54,160
K a year?

2771
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:56,520
Second is I don't date men that are

2772
01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:58,920
younger than me because for obvious reasons.

2773
01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:01,220
So if you are twenty six and over,

2774
01:35:01,360 --> 01:35:02,620
then you qualify.

2775
01:35:02,900 --> 01:35:04,460
Twenty six to thirty five is the age

2776
01:35:04,460 --> 01:35:04,680
limit.

2777
01:35:04,740 --> 01:35:06,260
OK, I feel like thirty five is pushing

2778
01:35:06,260 --> 01:35:07,960
it because they look old as fuck already.

2779
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:09,000
I'm twenty six.

2780
01:35:09,380 --> 01:35:09,980
I'm a baby.

2781
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:12,840
So, yeah, you have to have at least

2782
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:14,660
three cars under your name.

2783
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:17,320
Your second car has to have eight seats

2784
01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:18,500
because I have three kids.

2785
01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:20,240
Oh, I want them to be comfortable whenever

2786
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:21,800
we go with you on a trip or

2787
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:22,080
something.

2788
01:35:22,180 --> 01:35:22,900
You want me to come with you?

2789
01:35:22,940 --> 01:35:24,820
I'm going to bring my kids and you

2790
01:35:24,820 --> 01:35:26,560
need to have enough space for my kids.

2791
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:28,120
So that's why I require you to have

2792
01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:29,980
an SUV and a vehicle of your own

2793
01:35:29,980 --> 01:35:30,960
if you're going to be dating me.

2794
01:35:31,140 --> 01:35:33,080
Another requirement is that you have to have

2795
01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:35,720
a property under your and you have to

2796
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:37,560
be looking into getting your second property, have

2797
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:39,680
to get a home that has six rooms

2798
01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:42,280
because each of my kids have to be

2799
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:43,180
in their own room.

2800
01:35:43,340 --> 01:35:44,640
So you have to be considerate.

2801
01:35:44,860 --> 01:35:46,440
Purchase a house that has six rooms because

2802
01:35:46,440 --> 01:35:49,000
that's only common sense.

2803
01:35:49,540 --> 01:35:51,540
And if you cannot meet those requirements, then

2804
01:35:51,540 --> 01:35:52,500
you're not the fucking one.

2805
01:35:52,780 --> 01:35:54,860
Last requirement is that it has to be

2806
01:35:54,860 --> 01:35:55,140
pink.

2807
01:35:55,460 --> 01:35:56,180
It's not pink.

2808
01:35:56,980 --> 01:35:59,380
No, pink and brown go together.

2809
01:35:59,640 --> 01:36:00,160
Pink and brown.

2810
01:36:00,440 --> 01:36:02,100
Like what do I mean?

2811
01:36:02,100 --> 01:36:02,620
You know?

2812
01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:05,360
Well, this is very sad.

2813
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:08,660
This is what happens with women like this.

2814
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:09,840
And it happens with men, too.

2815
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:11,800
But with women like this, they are they're

2816
01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,880
on the tick tock and they're constantly getting

2817
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:17,040
barraged with DMS. Hey, baby.

2818
01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:19,280
Hey, baby, let's hook up because that is

2819
01:36:19,280 --> 01:36:22,220
the entire culture of the phone and social

2820
01:36:22,220 --> 01:36:22,560
media.

2821
01:36:22,980 --> 01:36:26,120
And she's now she thinks that that's real

2822
01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:28,160
and that these people don't just want to

2823
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:32,300
hook up with her and reenact some OnlyFans

2824
01:36:32,300 --> 01:36:32,940
fantasy.

2825
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:36,240
So she thinks that she's now popular and

2826
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:37,900
that she can make these demands and that

2827
01:36:37,900 --> 01:36:39,360
that's actually going to work out for her.

2828
01:36:39,820 --> 01:36:40,680
This is very sad.

2829
01:36:40,740 --> 01:36:42,320
It's a very sad state of affairs.

2830
01:36:43,200 --> 01:36:45,940
And I heard yesterday that 80 million, I

2831
01:36:45,940 --> 01:36:48,360
know it was like 68 million men in

2832
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:52,720
America have an OnlyFans account, which I don't

2833
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:54,320
think includes you because your phone's in the

2834
01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:54,560
drawer.

2835
01:36:56,420 --> 01:36:56,560
Yeah.

2836
01:36:57,440 --> 01:36:58,920
But this doesn't include.

2837
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:00,680
But this is a plague.

2838
01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:01,460
This is a plague.

2839
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:02,800
Wait, I got another stat.

2840
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:06,460
Supposedly, I heard this just the other day.

2841
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:12,000
10% of all women between the ages

2842
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:14,980
of 18 and 25 are OnlyFans women.

2843
01:37:15,140 --> 01:37:15,980
There's millions of them.

2844
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:16,900
Yeah, I believe it.

2845
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:17,740
I believe it.

2846
01:37:18,260 --> 01:37:20,140
So 10% of the women out there

2847
01:37:20,140 --> 01:37:25,060
are on OnlyFans stripping and then you have

2848
01:37:25,060 --> 01:37:27,000
all these guys that are with these accounts.

2849
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:29,160
Yeah, this is not healthy.

2850
01:37:29,540 --> 01:37:31,600
Why are we wasting our time podcasting?

2851
01:37:31,900 --> 01:37:34,340
You could be telling the tech grouch to

2852
01:37:34,340 --> 01:37:35,280
take his pants off.

2853
01:37:35,440 --> 01:37:36,660
This is this is this is your edges.

2854
01:37:38,220 --> 01:37:38,660
Yeah.

2855
01:37:38,940 --> 01:37:39,500
All right.

2856
01:37:39,540 --> 01:37:42,220
I have a tick tock clip, which is

2857
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:46,580
this is baffling, baffling.

2858
01:37:46,720 --> 01:37:49,300
But this is under my heading of delusional

2859
01:37:49,300 --> 01:37:49,880
Dems.

2860
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:51,380
Well, there are rumblings all over the media

2861
01:37:51,380 --> 01:37:53,800
now that on April 20th, Trump will declare

2862
01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:56,480
martial law, which effectively means the military takes

2863
01:37:56,480 --> 01:37:57,360
over for the police.

2864
01:37:57,840 --> 01:37:59,180
Free speech becomes illegal.

2865
01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:00,600
Protests become illegal.

2866
01:38:00,980 --> 01:38:02,740
You have to have the permission of the

2867
01:38:02,740 --> 01:38:03,960
military to do anything.

2868
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:06,160
And worse than that, the commander in chief,

2869
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:10,820
Trump, can do basically anything he wants, literally.

2870
01:38:11,660 --> 01:38:13,720
OK, we may be looking at the end

2871
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:15,960
of American democracy and we have 13 days

2872
01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:16,220
left.

2873
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:17,400
OK, here's my point.

2874
01:38:17,960 --> 01:38:20,120
Please prepare your family for the worst.

2875
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:22,000
The other rumor is that they're going to

2876
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:22,740
seize all the guns.

2877
01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:23,780
So if you have a gun, you want

2878
01:38:23,780 --> 01:38:24,780
to keep it, you might want to bury

2879
01:38:24,780 --> 01:38:25,520
it in your backyard.

2880
01:38:26,020 --> 01:38:27,100
Stock up on food.

2881
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:29,220
Please stop spending money you don't have to

2882
01:38:29,220 --> 01:38:29,560
spend.

2883
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:30,920
You may need it.

2884
01:38:31,220 --> 01:38:33,720
OK, if he shuts everything down, you're going

2885
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:34,500
to need some cash.

2886
01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:35,300
You're going to need something.

2887
01:38:35,540 --> 01:38:38,600
OK, please prepare your family for the worst

2888
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:39,600
and hope for the best.

2889
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:43,540
So this is the first I heard of

2890
01:38:43,540 --> 01:38:45,200
it, but I guess the rumors out there.

2891
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:48,000
But what was crazy is here in the

2892
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:50,220
hill country, in Little Fredericksburg, all of a

2893
01:38:50,220 --> 01:38:52,560
sudden we got the we got the phones

2894
01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:53,140
blowing up.

2895
01:38:53,260 --> 01:38:54,280
Everybody's going crazy.

2896
01:38:54,420 --> 01:38:55,980
Oh, have you heard about this?

2897
01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:59,240
The Muslims are coming in 400 acres of

2898
01:38:59,240 --> 01:39:00,080
beautiful scenery.

2899
01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:02,140
Welcome to the future of living.

2900
01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:04,220
Welcome to Epic City.

2901
01:39:05,020 --> 01:39:07,620
In promotional videos, Epic City is a collection

2902
01:39:07,620 --> 01:39:10,800
of single and multifamily homes and commercial developments

2903
01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:12,920
surrounding a mosque and school.

2904
01:39:13,440 --> 01:39:16,180
Epic City is more than just a neighborhood.

2905
01:39:17,180 --> 01:39:18,280
It's a way of life.

2906
01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:21,200
But last month, online Governor Abbott raised the

2907
01:39:21,200 --> 01:39:23,440
rumor of Sharia law playing a part.

2908
01:39:24,020 --> 01:39:25,860
State Rep Jeff Leach wrote a letter asking

2909
01:39:25,860 --> 01:39:29,240
the attorney general to investigate, and Epic responded

2910
01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:32,120
to the governor online, saying our vision is

2911
01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:35,120
to build a diverse, safe and inclusive community

2912
01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:37,980
and will follow all local, state and federal

2913
01:39:37,980 --> 01:39:38,400
laws.

2914
01:39:39,060 --> 01:39:42,140
And the resident scholar at Epic acknowledged the

2915
01:39:42,140 --> 01:39:42,500
noise.

2916
01:39:42,500 --> 01:39:45,740
You're probably aware that on social media, there's

2917
01:39:45,740 --> 01:39:49,700
a lot of negative campaigns against our particular

2918
01:39:49,700 --> 01:39:52,440
masjid, Epic, because of our project, Epic City,

2919
01:39:52,660 --> 01:39:52,900
right?

2920
01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:55,040
And a lot of the far right are

2921
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:56,460
riling up hatred.

2922
01:39:56,780 --> 01:39:59,320
Now this week, Abbott and Paxton announced a

2923
01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:02,580
dozen state agencies are investigating the proposed development,

2924
01:40:03,020 --> 01:40:05,280
alleging serious legal issues.

2925
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:07,980
The Texas Funeral Commission sent a cease and

2926
01:40:07,980 --> 01:40:11,440
desist letter alleging illegal funeral services at the

2927
01:40:11,440 --> 01:40:14,300
East Plano Islamic Center and the governor on

2928
01:40:14,300 --> 01:40:14,960
X writing.

2929
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:16,860
This is the tip of the iceberg.

2930
01:40:17,060 --> 01:40:19,840
The proposed community will never see the light

2931
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:20,400
of day.

2932
01:40:21,300 --> 01:40:23,580
Representatives for Epic City could not be reached

2933
01:40:23,580 --> 01:40:26,520
for comment on Thursday, but last month invited

2934
01:40:26,520 --> 01:40:28,540
the governor to see the site and maybe

2935
01:40:28,540 --> 01:40:31,580
some barbecue to learn more about the project.

2936
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:33,780
So I'm baffled by this.

2937
01:40:34,040 --> 01:40:35,480
Barbecue is a lot of pork.

2938
01:40:35,480 --> 01:40:39,080
Yeah, I'm baffled by this because this epic

2939
01:40:39,080 --> 01:40:42,320
community, which is 74 homes built near a

2940
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:45,000
big mosque, I will add that has been

2941
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:46,660
there for 12 years.

2942
01:40:46,780 --> 01:40:50,080
This is nothing new, but the mosque there,

2943
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:51,360
the mosque is there.

2944
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:53,140
They have a video.

2945
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:54,440
They have a video.

2946
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:56,320
Oh, it's epic.

2947
01:40:56,500 --> 01:40:58,360
We're going to build this great Sharia law,

2948
01:40:58,540 --> 01:41:00,820
which they don't say in their video, but

2949
01:41:00,820 --> 01:41:01,800
that's what's being said.

2950
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:04,040
But I think what's happening here is you

2951
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:04,460
have...

2952
01:41:04,460 --> 01:41:04,880
Where is this?

2953
01:41:05,060 --> 01:41:05,420
Hold on.

2954
01:41:05,540 --> 01:41:09,100
Plano, Plano, Plano, Plano, Texas.

2955
01:41:09,980 --> 01:41:10,900
Oh, that's north of Dallas.

2956
01:41:11,060 --> 01:41:12,360
That's nowhere near you.

2957
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:13,800
No, of course not.

2958
01:41:15,120 --> 01:41:17,800
But it was all said, but that's where

2959
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:19,400
Ross Perot used to be in Plano.

2960
01:41:19,580 --> 01:41:19,760
Yeah.

2961
01:41:20,500 --> 01:41:23,080
They're all upset, but it's like, I think

2962
01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:27,620
Ken Paxton, he is now launching his senatorial

2963
01:41:27,620 --> 01:41:28,100
race.

2964
01:41:28,860 --> 01:41:31,240
And I think, is Abbott up for reelection?

2965
01:41:32,540 --> 01:41:33,300
I don't know.

2966
01:41:33,560 --> 01:41:35,900
This reeks of nonsense.

2967
01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:37,620
Oh, I see.

2968
01:41:37,660 --> 01:41:38,500
You think it's just political.

2969
01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:39,560
Yeah, yeah.

2970
01:41:39,780 --> 01:41:40,420
That makes sense.

2971
01:41:40,540 --> 01:41:42,220
It is, but it's like all of a

2972
01:41:42,220 --> 01:41:44,200
sudden this storm, like we have nothing.

2973
01:41:44,480 --> 01:41:45,800
Look at your own town.

2974
01:41:46,700 --> 01:41:47,900
We got a lot of stuff going on

2975
01:41:47,900 --> 01:41:48,320
here.

2976
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:49,980
Don't worry about Plano.

2977
01:41:50,060 --> 01:41:51,500
Let Plano worry about Plano.

2978
01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:53,800
Well, it's going to be Sharia law.

2979
01:41:54,320 --> 01:41:54,620
So?

2980
01:41:55,240 --> 01:41:56,040
Sharia law.

2981
01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:58,700
That doesn't supersede U.S. law.

2982
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:01,180
If they want to do certain things based

2983
01:42:01,180 --> 01:42:03,720
on their religion, then do whatever they want.

2984
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:05,240
As long as they don't stone anybody.

2985
01:42:05,340 --> 01:42:07,440
Yeah, and don't break the law, that's fine.

2986
01:42:07,940 --> 01:42:09,580
But everyone's all upset about it.

2987
01:42:10,020 --> 01:42:11,040
It's the phones, man.

2988
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:11,780
It's the phones.

2989
01:42:11,900 --> 01:42:12,560
They're no good.

2990
01:42:14,300 --> 01:42:16,620
Yeah, I'm very anti-phone.

2991
01:42:17,740 --> 01:42:19,700
I ran into an oddball clip.

2992
01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:21,920
This is from Tucker.

2993
01:42:22,980 --> 01:42:24,980
He's had some interesting people on recently.

2994
01:42:25,740 --> 01:42:27,020
Yeah, he's getting some screen.

2995
01:42:27,060 --> 01:42:28,440
He's got a new booker or something.

2996
01:42:28,540 --> 01:42:29,280
He's getting all kinds.

2997
01:42:30,060 --> 01:42:30,900
Yeah, I'm waiting.

2998
01:42:30,940 --> 01:42:31,900
I'm waiting for my call.

2999
01:42:31,980 --> 01:42:33,040
I think I should be on Tucker.

3000
01:42:34,380 --> 01:42:35,200
I don't know.

3001
01:42:35,620 --> 01:42:38,560
Yes, I'm the inventor of podcasting.

3002
01:42:38,740 --> 01:42:40,980
Yeah, you are, but I don't know if...

3003
01:42:40,980 --> 01:42:43,280
I just don't see you and Tucker, actually.

3004
01:42:43,380 --> 01:42:44,820
You know, I can see you and Beck

3005
01:42:44,820 --> 01:42:46,000
getting along famously.

3006
01:42:46,180 --> 01:42:47,620
In fact, Beck thinks you're his brother.

3007
01:42:50,180 --> 01:42:51,900
Until I didn't want to work on Fridays

3008
01:42:51,900 --> 01:42:53,240
for him, then all of a sudden...

3009
01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:55,260
He'll get you back on if you actually

3010
01:42:55,260 --> 01:42:56,280
wanted to go on.

3011
01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:58,680
And then I can see you and Rogan,

3012
01:42:58,740 --> 01:43:01,380
because Rogan's kind of a, you know, you

3013
01:43:01,380 --> 01:43:02,580
and him, I can see that.

3014
01:43:03,380 --> 01:43:05,260
Tucker and I, we got Jesus in common,

3015
01:43:05,380 --> 01:43:05,580
man.

3016
01:43:05,660 --> 01:43:06,460
I don't see why.

3017
01:43:06,580 --> 01:43:07,740
There's a connection right there.

3018
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:10,940
I don't think it's the same Jesus.

3019
01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:12,880
Is it a different Jesus?

3020
01:43:13,440 --> 01:43:17,320
Well, it could be in Tucker's case.

3021
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:17,660
Okay.

3022
01:43:18,420 --> 01:43:20,660
So Tucker brought on the guy who is

3023
01:43:20,660 --> 01:43:22,520
one of the executives at Budweiser, and the

3024
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:24,540
whole thing, a very good interview, because the

3025
01:43:24,540 --> 01:43:26,260
guy has nothing but stories to tell.

3026
01:43:26,260 --> 01:43:28,700
Oh, this is about the woke stuff and

3027
01:43:28,700 --> 01:43:29,160
how they...

3028
01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:30,540
About the woke stuff and all the rest

3029
01:43:30,540 --> 01:43:30,760
of it.

3030
01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:33,460
But, and they're talking about Dylan Mulvaney and

3031
01:43:33,460 --> 01:43:34,540
how they screwed that up.

3032
01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:37,060
And the guy who runs the Budweiser division,

3033
01:43:37,540 --> 01:43:40,280
they talk about him a little bit, and

3034
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:42,020
the fact that nobody got fired over the

3035
01:43:42,020 --> 01:43:44,520
Dylan Mulvaney thing and the huge billions of

3036
01:43:44,520 --> 01:43:46,200
dollars in losses, and they haven't been able

3037
01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:46,700
to recover.

3038
01:43:46,820 --> 01:43:47,740
They still haven't.

3039
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:51,620
But then Tucker discusses the guy who is

3040
01:43:51,620 --> 01:43:57,300
the division CEO of Anheuser-Busch, this ex

3041
01:43:57,300 --> 01:44:00,740
-CIA guy, and he makes some generalities about

3042
01:44:00,740 --> 01:44:03,740
CEOs that I thought was...

3043
01:44:03,740 --> 01:44:06,300
I never heard this before from him or

3044
01:44:06,300 --> 01:44:09,060
anybody else, but now that he mentions it,

3045
01:44:09,060 --> 01:44:10,920
I thought this was a pretty good analysis.

3046
01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:12,980
And it starts off with the other guy

3047
01:44:12,980 --> 01:44:14,920
talking a little bit about how the situation

3048
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:15,640
fell apart.

3049
01:44:16,180 --> 01:44:19,240
And then Tucker goes into his little diatribe.

3050
01:44:19,660 --> 01:44:20,900
And so all of a sudden, the company

3051
01:44:20,900 --> 01:44:22,620
actually, its sales declined even more.

3052
01:44:23,140 --> 01:44:24,200
And funny enough...

3053
01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:24,960
Is he still there?

3054
01:44:25,220 --> 01:44:26,040
He's still there, which is crazy.

3055
01:44:26,140 --> 01:44:26,700
Everyone is still there.

3056
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:29,080
There's been zero accountability for this, despite the

3057
01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:29,500
fact...

3058
01:44:29,500 --> 01:44:32,000
I don't know the guy.

3059
01:44:32,180 --> 01:44:33,900
I've met him and talked to him, former

3060
01:44:33,900 --> 01:44:34,760
CIA guy.

3061
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:36,180
He told me, right?

3062
01:44:37,540 --> 01:44:38,880
Extremely physically fit.

3063
01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:40,620
Big, big, big CrossFit guy.

3064
01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:43,600
Most CEOs I've met, and particularly the more

3065
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:47,480
disconnected from manufacturing they are, the more finance

3066
01:44:47,480 --> 01:44:49,720
-oriented they are, the better physical condition they're

3067
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:49,940
in.

3068
01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:51,580
Just cut jawlines.

3069
01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:53,020
They all played lacrosse at Middlebury.

3070
01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:53,660
They're always on...

3071
01:44:53,660 --> 01:44:54,680
The guy looks like G.I. Joe.

3072
01:44:54,880 --> 01:44:55,460
A hundred percent.

3073
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:56,760
I'm not against physical fitness.

3074
01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:58,140
I could use a little more myself.

3075
01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:01,580
But that doesn't seem like a relevant criterion

3076
01:45:01,580 --> 01:45:04,760
if you're choosing a CEO, and yet every...

3077
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:06,240
Larry Fink is kind of budgy, so I'm

3078
01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:06,960
on his side for that.

3079
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:10,080
But it feels like whoever's doing the hiring

3080
01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:11,560
here is doing it based on appearance.

3081
01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:13,240
And these are white people mostly, so it's

3082
01:45:13,240 --> 01:45:16,640
not DEI exactly, but it is a form

3083
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:17,060
of DEI.

3084
01:45:17,200 --> 01:45:18,240
Like why...

3085
01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:21,660
That guy seemed like every other CEO I've

3086
01:45:21,660 --> 01:45:22,660
met in the last 10 years.

3087
01:45:23,540 --> 01:45:26,560
Vapid, afraid, completely terrified.

3088
01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:28,040
You could smell the fear on the guy.

3089
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:33,380
Obsessed with his physical appearance, and totally lacking

3090
01:45:33,380 --> 01:45:33,940
creativity.

3091
01:45:34,380 --> 01:45:35,440
Are those fair descriptions?

3092
01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:38,100
That was just my reaction from spending an

3093
01:45:38,100 --> 01:45:38,760
evening with him.

3094
01:45:39,140 --> 01:45:39,780
That's amazing.

3095
01:45:39,920 --> 01:45:41,280
I mean, you spent one evening with him.

3096
01:45:41,300 --> 01:45:42,760
I spent, I don't know, I've known Brendan

3097
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:43,620
for 10 years, 15 years.

3098
01:45:43,620 --> 01:45:44,800
I'm not saying he's like a terrible person.

3099
01:45:45,020 --> 01:45:47,340
I'm sure, you know, I don't know that,

3100
01:45:47,460 --> 01:45:48,920
but he is definitely...

3101
01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:50,360
And I hate to single him out, though.

3102
01:45:50,380 --> 01:45:52,520
He's a former CIA guy, which should be

3103
01:45:52,520 --> 01:45:54,040
disqualifying right there, but...

3104
01:45:54,040 --> 01:45:55,120
Oh, I'm sorry.

3105
01:45:55,500 --> 01:45:59,540
But he seemed emblematic of an entire class

3106
01:45:59,540 --> 01:46:02,160
of people who, in my pretty extensive experience

3107
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:05,180
around them, are deeply unimpressive.

3108
01:46:07,400 --> 01:46:10,520
The reason this kind of got my attention

3109
01:46:10,520 --> 01:46:11,920
is because I know some people that are

3110
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:16,180
high-end individuals that have made the same

3111
01:46:16,180 --> 01:46:18,940
observation about especially the fear thing.

3112
01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:21,780
He says a lot of companies are run

3113
01:46:21,780 --> 01:46:24,120
by guys who are just, everything is based

3114
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:24,900
on fear.

3115
01:46:26,300 --> 01:46:28,840
And everything, you know, it's not, they're not

3116
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:29,700
positive people.

3117
01:46:30,100 --> 01:46:31,160
They're reactive.

3118
01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:37,060
And the CEO's class of America seems to

3119
01:46:37,060 --> 01:46:39,840
be people, which what Carlson says, he's run

3120
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:40,980
into a bunch of them, I'm sure he

3121
01:46:40,980 --> 01:46:45,400
has, that are just this fear-based, lousy,

3122
01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:49,180
uncreative group of people that are running the

3123
01:46:49,180 --> 01:46:49,680
country.

3124
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:50,820
Yes.

3125
01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:53,640
Well, I just thought it was an interesting

3126
01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:54,440
observation.

3127
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:58,600
I would say that's correct.

3128
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:00,400
No argument for me.

3129
01:47:01,540 --> 01:47:02,580
What happened?

3130
01:47:04,120 --> 01:47:05,860
Well, I don't know what happened.

3131
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:08,160
You know, all these...

3132
01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:10,960
What happened is cheap stuff from China is

3133
01:47:10,960 --> 01:47:11,440
what happened.

3134
01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:13,580
And so we get all these big mega

3135
01:47:13,580 --> 01:47:17,770
companies with a lot of middle management.

3136
01:47:18,270 --> 01:47:18,810
I don't know.

3137
01:47:20,190 --> 01:47:22,730
I want to go back to simpler times,

3138
01:47:22,870 --> 01:47:23,050
John.

3139
01:47:23,590 --> 01:47:27,190
I found it depressing that this observation of

3140
01:47:27,190 --> 01:47:27,590
Puckers.

3141
01:47:28,930 --> 01:47:30,470
Yeah, I think he's not wrong.

3142
01:47:31,850 --> 01:47:34,570
But everyone should just be podcasting and cleaning

3143
01:47:34,570 --> 01:47:35,930
each other's house and be great.

3144
01:47:36,190 --> 01:47:36,810
We'll have a good time.

3145
01:47:37,690 --> 01:47:40,950
So this was a very disturbing report, not

3146
01:47:40,950 --> 01:47:43,030
just for the nurses involved, but for the

3147
01:47:43,030 --> 01:47:46,410
total lack of awareness of what's happened in

3148
01:47:46,410 --> 01:47:48,810
our world, particularly in the last five years.

3149
01:47:49,050 --> 01:47:51,750
She's a longtime nurse at Newton Wellesley Hospital

3150
01:47:51,750 --> 01:47:53,710
who didn't want to reveal her identity.

3151
01:47:54,150 --> 01:47:56,770
But she's speaking out after being diagnosed with

3152
01:47:56,770 --> 01:47:59,090
a brain tumor and says she's not alone

3153
01:47:59,090 --> 01:48:00,650
among her nursing colleagues.

3154
01:48:00,930 --> 01:48:02,730
It's getting to the point where the number

3155
01:48:02,730 --> 01:48:06,050
just increases and you start saying, am I

3156
01:48:06,050 --> 01:48:07,070
crazy thinking this?

3157
01:48:07,330 --> 01:48:08,970
Like I can't, this can't just be a

3158
01:48:08,970 --> 01:48:09,290
coincidence.

3159
01:48:09,670 --> 01:48:11,990
She claims as many as 10 nurses who

3160
01:48:11,990 --> 01:48:14,570
all work on the fifth floor maternal care

3161
01:48:14,570 --> 01:48:17,470
ward have been diagnosed with different brain tumors

3162
01:48:17,470 --> 01:48:18,890
over the last few years.

3163
01:48:19,210 --> 01:48:20,530
Some cancerous, some not.

3164
01:48:21,010 --> 01:48:23,730
Three, she says, have had surgery and believes

3165
01:48:23,730 --> 01:48:26,050
the hospital has not been supportive enough.

3166
01:48:26,350 --> 01:48:28,790
We want reassurance because this has been a

3167
01:48:28,790 --> 01:48:30,790
not reassuring past few months for a lot

3168
01:48:30,790 --> 01:48:31,650
of staff members.

3169
01:48:32,330 --> 01:48:34,690
And we just want to feel safe the

3170
01:48:34,690 --> 01:48:36,170
same way we want to make our patients

3171
01:48:36,170 --> 01:48:36,850
feel safe.

3172
01:48:37,150 --> 01:48:40,130
The hospital confirms it has been investigating since

3173
01:48:40,130 --> 01:48:43,430
December and has interviewed 10 nurses, six of

3174
01:48:43,430 --> 01:48:45,470
whom it says have differing brain tumors.

3175
01:48:45,910 --> 01:48:48,290
But the hospital also says no risk factors

3176
01:48:48,290 --> 01:48:50,650
have been found linking these cases to that

3177
01:48:50,650 --> 01:48:51,250
fifth floor.

3178
01:48:51,670 --> 01:48:54,230
In a statement, the hospital says it conducted

3179
01:48:54,230 --> 01:48:57,570
a CDC-guided investigation and shared the results.

3180
01:48:58,070 --> 01:49:01,530
The investigation found no environmental risks which could

3181
01:49:01,530 --> 01:49:03,430
be linked to the development of a brain

3182
01:49:03,430 --> 01:49:03,730
tumor.

3183
01:49:04,210 --> 01:49:06,290
The State Department of Public Health says it

3184
01:49:06,290 --> 01:49:08,730
is also looking into the cases while nurses

3185
01:49:08,730 --> 01:49:11,030
are calling for an independent investigation.

3186
01:49:11,470 --> 01:49:12,850
Yes, I think the concern is we don't

3187
01:49:12,850 --> 01:49:13,650
know what it is.

3188
01:49:14,270 --> 01:49:16,550
And nurses are, you know, scared, they're worried.

3189
01:49:17,210 --> 01:49:18,450
And they want to make sure they're not

3190
01:49:18,450 --> 01:49:20,230
working, you know, in an unsafe place.

3191
01:49:20,430 --> 01:49:21,750
I think the nurses should be the first

3192
01:49:21,750 --> 01:49:23,430
people because we were the ones that brought

3193
01:49:23,430 --> 01:49:25,390
it to their attention to be told.

3194
01:49:26,050 --> 01:49:27,810
And we feel like we've been the last

3195
01:49:27,810 --> 01:49:29,890
to be informed on anything.

3196
01:49:30,250 --> 01:49:32,510
If there is a connection here, their search

3197
01:49:32,510 --> 01:49:34,350
for answers is far from over.

3198
01:49:35,750 --> 01:49:37,210
So sad about this.

3199
01:49:37,490 --> 01:49:38,930
Yeah, this is a great story.

3200
01:49:39,110 --> 01:49:40,970
It's been floating around and they can't, they

3201
01:49:40,970 --> 01:49:41,850
haven't got a clue.

3202
01:49:42,090 --> 01:49:43,930
No idea what could have happened.

3203
01:49:44,530 --> 01:49:46,670
And they're like, well, could it be environmental

3204
01:49:46,670 --> 01:49:47,830
on the fifth floor?

3205
01:49:47,970 --> 01:49:48,890
Could it just be that?

3206
01:49:49,030 --> 01:49:50,290
Is it something in the walls?

3207
01:49:50,570 --> 01:49:53,490
But no one points out the obvious.

3208
01:49:54,990 --> 01:49:56,790
Safe and effective is what I want to

3209
01:49:56,790 --> 01:49:57,290
point out.

3210
01:49:57,410 --> 01:49:59,130
It's just, you know, I was thinking that

3211
01:49:59,130 --> 01:50:00,190
might be frustrating.

3212
01:50:00,450 --> 01:50:02,690
Why would it just be this one ward?

3213
01:50:02,830 --> 01:50:04,630
I mean, if it would that be hospital

3214
01:50:04,630 --> 01:50:05,210
wide.

3215
01:50:05,490 --> 01:50:08,070
Oh, I think it's because they just happen

3216
01:50:08,070 --> 01:50:11,250
to have this one one ward and they're

3217
01:50:11,250 --> 01:50:12,770
just focusing everybody on it.

3218
01:50:12,930 --> 01:50:13,930
Don't look over here.

3219
01:50:14,050 --> 01:50:15,110
Look at the fifth floor.

3220
01:50:15,450 --> 01:50:18,430
I don't trust any of this reporting.

3221
01:50:18,670 --> 01:50:20,370
So you think the reporting is flawed?

3222
01:50:20,490 --> 01:50:20,870
Of course.

3223
01:50:22,490 --> 01:50:24,110
Then we go to then we go to

3224
01:50:24,110 --> 01:50:26,990
CBS, who had a fascinating report, which is

3225
01:50:26,990 --> 01:50:28,570
surprising for a number of reasons.

3226
01:50:28,570 --> 01:50:31,250
This is Five years ago today, at the

3227
01:50:31,250 --> 01:50:34,190
beginning of the pandemic, Johns Hopkins reported that

3228
01:50:34,190 --> 01:50:36,170
more than 400,000 people in the U

3229
01:50:36,170 --> 01:50:38,790
.S. had come down with COVID and nearly

3230
01:50:38,790 --> 01:50:40,590
15,000 had died.

3231
01:50:41,090 --> 01:50:43,130
Two months later, our Dr. John LaPook was

3232
01:50:43,130 --> 01:50:44,930
among the first to report that COVID is

3233
01:50:44,930 --> 01:50:46,330
spread through the air.

3234
01:50:46,910 --> 01:50:49,350
In tonight's Eye on America, Dr. LaPook introduces

3235
01:50:49,350 --> 01:50:51,590
you to a new weapon against airborne diseases,

3236
01:50:52,110 --> 01:50:54,130
COVID, bird flu and many more.

3237
01:50:54,850 --> 01:50:57,930
Oh, we've got a bird flu has rocked

3238
01:50:57,930 --> 01:51:00,810
the dairy industry and infected 70 people in

3239
01:51:00,810 --> 01:51:01,690
the United States.

3240
01:51:02,150 --> 01:51:05,230
But there's a bigger concern, a pandemic in

3241
01:51:05,230 --> 01:51:05,830
humans.

3242
01:51:06,430 --> 01:51:08,530
As we have human infections with these avian

3243
01:51:08,530 --> 01:51:12,070
viruses, a random mutation might emerge that is

3244
01:51:12,070 --> 01:51:12,990
more fit in a human.

3245
01:51:13,450 --> 01:51:14,050
So there you go.

3246
01:51:14,270 --> 01:51:17,310
University of Pennsylvania researcher Scott Hensley has been

3247
01:51:17,310 --> 01:51:19,510
studying bird flu for 15 years.

3248
01:51:19,730 --> 01:51:22,330
And if that mutation would arise, then we

3249
01:51:22,330 --> 01:51:24,210
fear the virus might be able to transmit

3250
01:51:24,210 --> 01:51:26,570
human to human through the air, through the

3251
01:51:26,570 --> 01:51:26,790
air.

3252
01:51:26,910 --> 01:51:28,550
Yeah, that's the fear.

3253
01:51:29,290 --> 01:51:30,730
As far as we know, that has not

3254
01:51:30,730 --> 01:51:31,410
happened yet.

3255
01:51:31,610 --> 01:51:34,350
But if it does, a new technology is

3256
01:51:34,350 --> 01:51:35,390
waiting in the wings.

3257
01:51:35,670 --> 01:51:39,930
It's called far UVC, far UVC.

3258
01:51:40,750 --> 01:51:44,660
Does that sound familiar to you?

3259
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:47,080
Well, not to me, but it will.

3260
01:51:47,220 --> 01:51:49,080
It will play another clip.

3261
01:51:49,220 --> 01:51:51,040
See these far UVC lamps.

3262
01:51:51,160 --> 01:51:53,120
They emit a type of light that can

3263
01:51:53,120 --> 01:51:55,660
kill microscopic germs floating in the air.

3264
01:51:56,140 --> 01:51:59,800
Columbia University physicist David Brenner explained these lights

3265
01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:02,880
work by damaging the genes of disease causing

3266
01:52:02,880 --> 01:52:03,460
microbes.

3267
01:52:03,920 --> 01:52:06,680
Brenner's initial main target has been seasonal flu.

3268
01:52:07,060 --> 01:52:08,340
But that could change.

3269
01:52:08,660 --> 01:52:11,100
UV light really doesn't care about the details

3270
01:52:11,100 --> 01:52:12,800
of whether it's a bacteria or a virus.

3271
01:52:13,220 --> 01:52:14,620
It can kill all of them, essentially.

3272
01:52:15,480 --> 01:52:18,700
Conventional UVC is used to sanitize surfaces in

3273
01:52:18,700 --> 01:52:19,940
places such as hospitals.

3274
01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:22,740
But it's not shine directly at people because

3275
01:52:22,740 --> 01:52:24,480
it can harm the eyes and skin.

3276
01:52:25,220 --> 01:52:28,480
In contrast, the shorter wavelength far UVC is

3277
01:52:28,480 --> 01:52:31,240
safer because it can't penetrate the tear layer

3278
01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:33,440
of the eye or the top layers of

3279
01:52:33,440 --> 01:52:33,760
skin.

3280
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:37,280
The CDC says far UVC is promising, but

3281
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:38,440
more research is needed.

3282
01:52:38,860 --> 01:52:41,620
One reason David Brenner, an advisor to a

3283
01:52:41,620 --> 01:52:45,120
manufacturer of UVC lamps, set up a UVC

3284
01:52:45,120 --> 01:52:45,720
laboratory.

3285
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:48,740
This is an experimental room that simulates real

3286
01:52:48,740 --> 01:52:49,120
life.

3287
01:52:49,120 --> 01:52:51,240
That's a far UVC lamp.

3288
01:52:51,420 --> 01:52:53,760
They can control all sorts of conditions here,

3289
01:52:53,840 --> 01:52:54,720
humidity, airflow.

3290
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:56,740
They can also measure the amount of virus

3291
01:52:56,740 --> 01:52:58,560
in the air before and after they turn

3292
01:52:58,560 --> 01:53:00,640
on the far UVC lamp.

3293
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:02,920
I'd say the development has been slow and

3294
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:03,180
steady.

3295
01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:08,480
So these journalists and doctors, all of them

3296
01:53:08,480 --> 01:53:12,960
have somehow forgotten how in 2020, President Trump

3297
01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:15,760
was mocked endlessly for this.

3298
01:53:15,900 --> 01:53:18,060
A question that probably some of you are

3299
01:53:18,060 --> 01:53:20,600
thinking of if you're totally into that world,

3300
01:53:20,680 --> 01:53:22,080
which I find to be very interesting.

3301
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:26,140
So supposing we hit the body with a

3302
01:53:26,140 --> 01:53:30,140
tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful

3303
01:53:30,140 --> 01:53:30,500
light.

3304
01:53:31,720 --> 01:53:34,080
And I think you said that hasn't been

3305
01:53:34,080 --> 01:53:35,200
checked, but you're going to test it.

3306
01:53:35,600 --> 01:53:37,300
And then I said, supposing you brought the

3307
01:53:37,300 --> 01:53:39,240
light inside the body, which you can do

3308
01:53:39,240 --> 01:53:42,260
either through the skin or in some other

3309
01:53:42,260 --> 01:53:42,580
way.

3310
01:53:43,440 --> 01:53:44,780
And I think you said you're going to

3311
01:53:44,780 --> 01:53:45,560
test that too.

3312
01:53:45,700 --> 01:53:46,600
Sounds interesting.

3313
01:53:47,020 --> 01:53:49,540
Do you remember how they laughed and laughed

3314
01:53:49,540 --> 01:53:50,180
and laughed?

3315
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:53,040
Oh, crazy Trump with his UV lamp.

3316
01:53:53,320 --> 01:53:55,020
Oh, that was so silly.

3317
01:53:55,100 --> 01:53:56,040
That's so crazy.

3318
01:53:57,980 --> 01:53:59,660
Somehow they forgot to report that.

3319
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:00,480
Yeah.

3320
01:54:00,620 --> 01:54:00,740
Yeah.

3321
01:54:02,820 --> 01:54:03,020
Yeah.

3322
01:54:03,060 --> 01:54:04,820
I'm just, I just, you know, but I

3323
01:54:04,820 --> 01:54:06,960
have a, I have a long memory of

3324
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:07,480
these things.

3325
01:54:08,740 --> 01:54:10,340
And so now they're doing the same.

3326
01:54:10,500 --> 01:54:12,140
They're getting bleached.

3327
01:54:12,240 --> 01:54:12,860
We'll be up next.

3328
01:54:13,020 --> 01:54:13,240
Yeah.

3329
01:54:14,060 --> 01:54:14,380
Bleach.

3330
01:54:14,500 --> 01:54:15,840
If you drink bleach, it's always going to

3331
01:54:15,840 --> 01:54:16,100
be good.

3332
01:54:16,260 --> 01:54:17,240
Hey, with that, I want to thank you

3333
01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:18,860
for your courage in the morning to you,

3334
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:20,400
the man who put the C in the

3335
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:21,280
UVC lamp.

3336
01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:22,660
Say hello to my friend on the other

3337
01:54:22,660 --> 01:54:22,820
end.

3338
01:54:22,880 --> 01:54:24,940
The one, the only Mr. for cell phone

3339
01:54:24,940 --> 01:54:25,500
in a drawer.

3340
01:54:26,040 --> 01:54:26,860
John C.

3341
01:54:29,640 --> 01:54:29,960
Yeah.

3342
01:54:30,200 --> 01:54:31,600
Well, in the morning, it was Ann Curry

3343
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:31,940
in the morning.

3344
01:54:32,020 --> 01:54:33,140
I should have seen boots on the ground,

3345
01:54:33,160 --> 01:54:34,300
feet in the air, subs in the water.

3346
01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:38,140
In the morning to the trolls in the

3347
01:54:38,140 --> 01:54:38,600
troll room.

3348
01:54:38,700 --> 01:54:39,600
Stop moving around.

3349
01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:40,500
Let me count you for a second.

3350
01:54:43,420 --> 01:54:46,200
It's kind of the new normal 1907, 1907

3351
01:54:46,200 --> 01:54:48,580
trolls listening along to the no agenda show,

3352
01:54:48,660 --> 01:54:51,280
listening live, which is better than most studio

3353
01:54:51,280 --> 01:54:51,840
audiences.

3354
01:54:51,980 --> 01:54:53,940
Let me tell you that because of course

3355
01:54:53,940 --> 01:54:55,820
we've been doing this for more than 17

3356
01:54:55,820 --> 01:55:00,660
years and we've seen it all people more

3357
01:55:00,660 --> 01:55:01,220
than once.

3358
01:55:01,380 --> 01:55:01,820
Yes.

3359
01:55:02,260 --> 01:55:03,980
Did we, did we even have, when we

3360
01:55:03,980 --> 01:55:09,220
started the show, there was barely smartphones, but

3361
01:55:09,220 --> 01:55:11,540
I think we just had the iPhone one.

3362
01:55:12,040 --> 01:55:13,820
If I'm, if I'm like, no, we, when

3363
01:55:13,820 --> 01:55:15,000
did, what was the year that we started

3364
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:15,840
in 2007?

3365
01:55:16,900 --> 01:55:18,120
Well, that would be iPhone.

3366
01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:18,540
Yes.

3367
01:55:18,780 --> 01:55:22,980
I remember because I remember that, uh, Chris

3368
01:55:22,980 --> 01:55:24,960
Jacob bought one for me in San Francisco

3369
01:55:24,960 --> 01:55:26,280
and I took it back to the UK

3370
01:55:26,280 --> 01:55:28,360
and I was, and I was like, Oh,

3371
01:55:28,420 --> 01:55:29,040
what is that?

3372
01:55:29,280 --> 01:55:31,360
And I had the iPhone on that iPhone.

3373
01:55:31,520 --> 01:55:32,860
You couldn't copy or paste.

3374
01:55:32,960 --> 01:55:34,020
That was the funniest thing.

3375
01:55:34,660 --> 01:55:36,240
And then I had had it only three

3376
01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:38,260
days and I dropped it in the toilet.

3377
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:40,120
Oh, I remember the toilet story.

3378
01:55:40,780 --> 01:55:41,220
Yeah.

3379
01:55:41,220 --> 01:55:43,340
You bent over to flush the toilet and

3380
01:55:43,340 --> 01:55:44,780
it came out of your pocket or something

3381
01:55:44,780 --> 01:55:46,180
and fell in and you dug it out.

3382
01:55:46,320 --> 01:55:46,620
Yes.

3383
01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:48,560
And then I put it into kitty litter.

3384
01:55:48,860 --> 01:55:50,620
I tried all kinds of things and it

3385
01:55:50,620 --> 01:55:51,960
never came back to life.

3386
01:55:52,500 --> 01:55:55,760
It was, it was, it was a sad

3387
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:57,040
day in techno world.

3388
01:56:00,300 --> 01:56:00,600
Yeah.

3389
01:56:00,780 --> 01:56:02,660
So I've never owned an iPhone.

3390
01:56:03,520 --> 01:56:03,680
No.

3391
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:06,340
And I'll never own one that I'm, I've,

3392
01:56:06,400 --> 01:56:09,580
I've sworn off all Apple products because you

3393
01:56:09,580 --> 01:56:10,360
can't trust them.

3394
01:56:11,240 --> 01:56:12,320
Can't trust them.

3395
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:14,320
They can't, not for any use that is

3396
01:56:14,320 --> 01:56:16,500
to me useful to me like USB.

3397
01:56:16,900 --> 01:56:18,580
Like you can't trust them with USB.

3398
01:56:18,720 --> 01:56:20,820
Those guys, it doesn't matter.

3399
01:56:20,940 --> 01:56:21,700
That's my problem.

3400
01:56:21,960 --> 01:56:22,120
Oh.

3401
01:56:22,180 --> 01:56:24,280
And by the way, please, please.

3402
01:56:24,500 --> 01:56:26,560
Every single time we talk about Linux and

3403
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:27,760
I say, I can't use it for my

3404
01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:29,820
professional audio set up there.

3405
01:56:30,920 --> 01:56:31,320
No.

3406
01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:32,320
Yeah, you can.

3407
01:56:32,460 --> 01:56:34,140
Did you try wine?

3408
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:36,640
Did you, did you try this?

3409
01:56:36,760 --> 01:56:37,520
Did you try that?

3410
01:56:37,620 --> 01:56:40,020
Hey man, Jack, you can use Jack and

3411
01:56:40,020 --> 01:56:41,100
you can route it all.

3412
01:56:41,280 --> 01:56:41,960
And then it worked.

3413
01:56:42,160 --> 01:56:43,540
No, it doesn't work.

3414
01:56:43,620 --> 01:56:44,840
It doesn't work.

3415
01:56:45,400 --> 01:56:46,400
Stop it, please.

3416
01:56:46,900 --> 01:56:48,780
And I'll say, no, no, I've tried it.

3417
01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:50,740
I'm looking like, no man, you could set

3418
01:56:50,740 --> 01:56:50,920
it up.

3419
01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:52,380
You can, you could hire some guys to

3420
01:56:52,380 --> 01:56:52,740
do it.

3421
01:56:53,120 --> 01:56:53,520
Okay.

3422
01:56:54,180 --> 01:56:55,920
How about I just use a crappy windows

3423
01:56:55,920 --> 01:56:56,300
box?

3424
01:56:56,420 --> 01:56:57,040
It just works.

3425
01:56:57,540 --> 01:56:59,380
I use Linux mid for all my other

3426
01:56:59,380 --> 01:56:59,680
stuff.

3427
01:57:00,300 --> 01:57:02,200
It's not a question of the Linux, but

3428
01:57:02,200 --> 01:57:03,040
it's the drivers.

3429
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:04,020
It's always the drivers.

3430
01:57:04,480 --> 01:57:07,920
Anyway, this is a, a delight to do

3431
01:57:07,920 --> 01:57:09,400
this show, to do it live.

3432
01:57:09,480 --> 01:57:10,180
We stream it live.

3433
01:57:10,340 --> 01:57:12,600
Troll room.io is where you can join

3434
01:57:12,600 --> 01:57:12,840
in.

3435
01:57:12,940 --> 01:57:14,360
If you want to troll along and listen

3436
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:16,320
live, or you can use a modern podcast

3437
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:16,600
app.

3438
01:57:16,640 --> 01:57:19,520
Many of them receive the bat signal alerts

3439
01:57:19,520 --> 01:57:19,680
you.

3440
01:57:19,740 --> 01:57:21,180
Oh, there's yet another alert you need on

3441
01:57:21,180 --> 01:57:22,440
your phone, but you need it for this.

3442
01:57:23,040 --> 01:57:24,540
You need to know when we're going live.

3443
01:57:24,700 --> 01:57:25,700
And then, and there's no video.

3444
01:57:25,860 --> 01:57:26,400
You just listen.

3445
01:57:26,720 --> 01:57:27,960
Just, you can do other things.

3446
01:57:28,120 --> 01:57:30,180
You can be smiling, laughing out loud.

3447
01:57:30,340 --> 01:57:31,800
People think you're just having a good time

3448
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:32,220
at work.

3449
01:57:32,280 --> 01:57:33,440
And we all know you're not.

3450
01:57:33,860 --> 01:57:35,580
And you listen to the no agenda show.

3451
01:57:35,740 --> 01:57:38,320
And, and with that modern podcast app, you

3452
01:57:38,320 --> 01:57:40,000
get all kinds of extra features like the

3453
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:40,340
artwork.

3454
01:57:40,900 --> 01:57:43,840
We have chapters with artwork that Dreb Scott

3455
01:57:43,840 --> 01:57:44,980
puts together for us.

3456
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:48,120
And we are blessed by an entire community

3457
01:57:48,120 --> 01:57:50,080
of artists who is a part of our

3458
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:52,940
value for value model are happy to contribute

3459
01:57:52,940 --> 01:57:54,960
some time and talent of the three T's,

3460
01:57:55,040 --> 01:57:57,780
which includes treasure to help support the show,

3461
01:57:57,920 --> 01:57:59,240
to make it look good.

3462
01:57:59,320 --> 01:58:00,900
So we always have some fresh art.

3463
01:58:01,040 --> 01:58:02,600
It's good in the podcast app.

3464
01:58:02,680 --> 01:58:04,640
It looks great when we promote the show.

3465
01:58:04,680 --> 01:58:06,740
It's great for the newsletter and it's, and

3466
01:58:06,740 --> 01:58:08,640
there's just more fun to be had looking

3467
01:58:08,640 --> 01:58:10,460
at those chapters, even in the car, they,

3468
01:58:10,520 --> 01:58:12,960
they, they change per topic and it gives

3469
01:58:12,960 --> 01:58:14,220
you an extra jolt of humor.

3470
01:58:15,300 --> 01:58:17,160
And, uh, we're going to thank the artists

3471
01:58:17,160 --> 01:58:19,520
for episode 1753.

3472
01:58:19,820 --> 01:58:22,000
We called that one local Jamoche.

3473
01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:26,420
Um, it was not easy choosing a piece.

3474
01:58:26,860 --> 01:58:28,700
Uh, this was a bad, this was a

3475
01:58:28,700 --> 01:58:29,900
bad, uh, series.

3476
01:58:30,260 --> 01:58:32,380
I, again, of course I blamed the show.

3477
01:58:32,500 --> 01:58:32,660
Yeah.

3478
01:58:32,680 --> 01:58:33,660
It's always our fault.

3479
01:58:33,840 --> 01:58:35,620
It is our fault because if we don't

3480
01:58:35,620 --> 01:58:40,260
have something that triggers, uh, artists, uh, to

3481
01:58:40,260 --> 01:58:42,600
come up with ideas, if there's no triggering

3482
01:58:42,600 --> 01:58:44,920
mechanism, then they can't come up with ideas.

3483
01:58:45,200 --> 01:58:46,760
And then, then whose fault is that?

3484
01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:47,480
It's our fault.

3485
01:58:47,540 --> 01:58:48,120
It's our fault.

3486
01:58:48,260 --> 01:58:48,480
Yes.

3487
01:58:48,940 --> 01:58:51,420
Uh, but Nessworks did a yeoman's job and

3488
01:58:51,420 --> 01:58:52,800
he came up with a can of dirt,

3489
01:58:53,260 --> 01:58:54,660
organic dirt, eat dirt.

3490
01:58:54,840 --> 01:58:56,260
It's all you can afford.

3491
01:58:57,340 --> 01:59:00,600
Uh, and we appreciate that Nessworks and that

3492
01:59:00,600 --> 01:59:01,380
is not AI.

3493
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:03,480
I guarantee you there's less and less AI.

3494
01:59:03,700 --> 01:59:06,820
Interestingly, it seems to me, you know, it

3495
01:59:06,820 --> 01:59:09,200
seems like the AI has gotten really good.

3496
01:59:09,200 --> 01:59:09,980
Maybe.

3497
01:59:10,320 --> 01:59:11,140
I don't think so.

3498
01:59:11,240 --> 01:59:11,780
Let's see what else.

3499
01:59:12,140 --> 01:59:14,340
There was another dirt that we looked at.

3500
01:59:14,520 --> 01:59:17,900
There was, um, Tonto Neal's dirt, imported dirt

3501
01:59:17,900 --> 01:59:19,140
for poor people.

3502
01:59:19,800 --> 01:59:21,200
It was, for me, it was close between

3503
01:59:21,200 --> 01:59:21,840
those two.

3504
01:59:22,720 --> 01:59:24,900
I liked the tariffs on penguins piece, but

3505
01:59:24,900 --> 01:59:26,500
you hated it to such an extreme.

3506
01:59:26,560 --> 01:59:27,920
It didn't even get into the play.

3507
01:59:28,060 --> 01:59:30,000
I wouldn't say I hated anything.

3508
01:59:30,140 --> 01:59:30,460
Oh yeah.

3509
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:31,000
Oh yeah.

3510
01:59:31,640 --> 01:59:33,980
Well, this was a piece.

3511
01:59:34,700 --> 01:59:36,340
It just looked washed out.

3512
01:59:36,480 --> 01:59:38,300
And when you, when you embiggened it, the

3513
01:59:38,300 --> 01:59:40,320
no agenda letters were just kind of floating.

3514
01:59:40,480 --> 01:59:42,700
They weren't even on the, on the penguin,

3515
01:59:42,820 --> 01:59:45,140
uh, you know, piece of ice that they

3516
01:59:45,140 --> 01:59:45,780
were on.

3517
01:59:45,800 --> 01:59:47,380
It looked washed out.

3518
01:59:48,340 --> 01:59:49,220
Yeah, it does.

3519
01:59:49,300 --> 01:59:50,440
It was a little washed out.

3520
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:51,360
It was washed out.

3521
01:59:51,480 --> 01:59:51,780
Let me see.

3522
01:59:51,920 --> 01:59:52,980
Oh yeah.

3523
01:59:53,320 --> 01:59:55,080
Um, D of NC.

3524
01:59:55,800 --> 01:59:58,380
Uh, we didn't think the Ku Klux Klan

3525
01:59:58,380 --> 02:00:01,040
with burning Tesla cross was going to work.

3526
02:00:01,260 --> 02:00:03,100
So we just, we, we thought that might

3527
02:00:03,100 --> 02:00:03,880
be taking it.

3528
02:00:04,040 --> 02:00:05,220
That was not a good one.

3529
02:00:05,680 --> 02:00:06,040
No.

3530
02:00:06,200 --> 02:00:07,660
And we weren't, it's the same as the

3531
02:00:07,660 --> 02:00:08,540
gummy Jesus.

3532
02:00:08,780 --> 02:00:09,520
We weren't going to do that.

3533
02:00:09,820 --> 02:00:11,060
But if you did that just to make

3534
02:00:11,060 --> 02:00:11,600
us laugh.

3535
02:00:11,600 --> 02:00:11,880
Okay.

3536
02:00:11,880 --> 02:00:13,720
I personally liked, I don't know why I

3537
02:00:13,720 --> 02:00:15,620
like scare manga, save the bees.

3538
02:00:15,700 --> 02:00:17,180
That just, I thought it was a cute

3539
02:00:17,180 --> 02:00:19,400
piece and you hated it with a vengeance.

3540
02:00:19,520 --> 02:00:20,920
You just, I didn't hate it with a

3541
02:00:20,920 --> 02:00:21,260
vengeance.

3542
02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:23,100
I just thought it was boring.

3543
02:00:23,340 --> 02:00:23,640
Yeah.

3544
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:24,200
I'm boring.

3545
02:00:24,460 --> 02:00:26,560
And the Hey, Hey, Ho Ho, uh, MAGA

3546
02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:26,840
hat.

3547
02:00:26,860 --> 02:00:28,020
I thought that was kind of cute.

3548
02:00:28,780 --> 02:00:31,760
Um, yeah, again, it was not, it was

3549
02:00:31,760 --> 02:00:32,660
just too plain.

3550
02:00:32,980 --> 02:00:35,400
Everybody loved the idea of the, of the

3551
02:00:35,400 --> 02:00:36,640
book that helps you get rid of your

3552
02:00:36,640 --> 02:00:38,380
phone addiction as a hollow book and you

3553
02:00:38,380 --> 02:00:39,300
put your phone in it.

3554
02:00:40,060 --> 02:00:42,400
Uh, and a number of artists came up

3555
02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:44,780
with some concepts, but I also got people

3556
02:00:44,780 --> 02:00:47,560
sending me links to manufacturers who make these

3557
02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:50,000
kinds of things that I forwarded to you.

3558
02:00:50,460 --> 02:00:50,920
Yeah, I know.

3559
02:00:50,920 --> 02:00:51,340
I got it.

3560
02:00:51,360 --> 02:00:52,900
Napko, whatever the company has you.

3561
02:00:52,960 --> 02:00:54,140
Have you ordered anything yet?

3562
02:00:54,140 --> 02:00:56,160
I haven't ordered anything.

3563
02:00:56,160 --> 02:00:58,140
I'm looking at their, I'm going to get

3564
02:00:58,140 --> 02:00:59,200
a hold of them and see if they

3565
02:00:59,200 --> 02:01:00,180
can even do that.

3566
02:01:00,380 --> 02:01:01,400
Yeah, I ordered stuff.

3567
02:01:01,520 --> 02:01:04,620
We order what they don't make hollow books,

3568
02:01:04,780 --> 02:01:07,020
but there's the possibility that they can.

3569
02:01:07,600 --> 02:01:09,500
It's another great idea.

3570
02:01:10,120 --> 02:01:11,840
I mean, I've come up with ideas.

3571
02:01:11,980 --> 02:01:13,640
We get the podfather awards.

3572
02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:15,180
I'm the idea man.

3573
02:01:15,240 --> 02:01:16,780
And you're the execution man.

3574
02:01:17,340 --> 02:01:17,600
Yeah.

3575
02:01:17,700 --> 02:01:21,320
Which means I execute most of these ideas.

3576
02:01:22,740 --> 02:01:25,720
Ah, people, we're just going to be, we're

3577
02:01:25,720 --> 02:01:26,440
going to wind up dying.

3578
02:01:26,440 --> 02:01:28,840
I like the morning coffee one with the

3579
02:01:28,840 --> 02:01:30,080
dog at the microphone.

3580
02:01:30,440 --> 02:01:31,260
It was all right.

3581
02:01:31,320 --> 02:01:31,980
It was all right.

3582
02:01:32,120 --> 02:01:32,640
It was all right.

3583
02:01:32,680 --> 02:01:35,500
It's just something funny about a dog podcasting.

3584
02:01:35,860 --> 02:01:38,260
We, uh, we love the value for value

3585
02:01:38,260 --> 02:01:40,880
model, uh, for so many different reasons, uh,

3586
02:01:40,880 --> 02:01:42,820
mainly because we don't have to have meetings

3587
02:01:42,820 --> 02:01:43,660
with advertisers.

3588
02:01:43,900 --> 02:01:46,480
That was the original impetus for not doing

3589
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:46,760
that.

3590
02:01:46,860 --> 02:01:49,000
But also, um, you get to value the

3591
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:50,820
podcast at the amount that you think it's

3592
02:01:50,820 --> 02:01:51,140
worth.

3593
02:01:51,200 --> 02:01:53,800
And that, that is, that's a very fair

3594
02:01:53,800 --> 02:01:54,220
system.

3595
02:01:54,500 --> 02:01:56,820

02:02:42,980 --> 02:02:44,380
people from the no agenda.

3620
02:02:44,800 --> 02:02:46,700
Did you forget that on the last show?

3621
02:02:47,160 --> 02:02:48,760
No, I thank most of them, but I

3622
02:02:48,760 --> 02:02:53,140
didn't thank violet that the little baby, the

3626
02:02:59,920 --> 02:03:01,500
She's a, I don't know about you, but

02:03:06,800 --> 02:03:07,280
Yes.

02:03:07,400 --> 02:03:09,180
Five and a half, four and a half,

3632
02:03:09,280 --> 02:03:09,860

Not very nice piece.

3640
02:03:28,100 --> 02:03:29,420
She comes over with a little bag and

3641
02:03:29,420 --> 02:03:31,140
gives it your mom.

3642
02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:32,280
You're a sucker.

3643
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:34,220
You're a sucker for kids, aren't you?

3644
02:03:34,240 --> 02:03:35,620
You just love the toddlers.

3645
02:03:35,980 --> 02:03:36,420
Kids are great.

3646
02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:39,120
And so the other one, the other person

3647
02:03:39,120 --> 02:03:39,980
I wanted to thank was sir.

3648
02:03:39,980 --> 02:03:41,220
Lawrence of dystopia.

3649
02:03:41,300 --> 02:03:42,240
I forgot to thank him.

3650
02:03:42,620 --> 02:03:45,840
He did donate money, but he also gave

3651
02:03:45,840 --> 02:03:46,660
me a gift.

3652
02:03:47,580 --> 02:03:51,260
And so, and then, and the gift was,

3653
02:03:51,340 --> 02:03:56,140
it was the wildest bottle of, uh, uh,

3654
02:03:56,180 --> 02:03:58,840
Johnny Walker blue that I've ever seen.

3655
02:03:58,920 --> 02:04:01,520
It was the bottle itself has been that's

3656
02:04:01,520 --> 02:04:02,560
completely redone.

3657
02:04:02,880 --> 02:04:03,860
That's top-notch stuff.

3658
02:04:04,020 --> 02:04:05,240
It's the best product.

3659
02:04:06,300 --> 02:04:06,800
Wow.

3660
02:04:07,220 --> 02:04:08,760
Uh, and it came in a, in a

3661
02:04:08,760 --> 02:04:11,200
package that was like a purse of some

3662
02:04:11,200 --> 02:04:11,480
sort.

3663
02:04:11,540 --> 02:04:13,600
It was like a, like a, a puffy

3664
02:04:13,600 --> 02:04:15,940
jacket made out of that material that it

3665
02:04:15,940 --> 02:04:17,520
could be turned inside out in the head.

3666
02:04:18,280 --> 02:04:19,800
It's so ridiculous.

3667
02:04:20,240 --> 02:04:22,400
I don't know what this comes from.

3668
02:04:22,460 --> 02:04:24,060
The bottle itself has been changed.

3669
02:04:25,120 --> 02:04:27,920
It's stuff printed all over the bottle.

3670
02:04:28,520 --> 02:04:30,000
It's such a collectible.

3671
02:04:30,120 --> 02:04:31,440
I'm not sure what to do with it.

3672
02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:34,120
And I'm not sure what it drink it,

3673
02:04:34,220 --> 02:04:35,100
drink it on the show.

3674
02:04:37,380 --> 02:04:39,040
I don't drink when I'm doing the show.

3675
02:04:39,620 --> 02:04:42,960
Uh, but it's such a collectible.

3676
02:04:43,060 --> 02:04:45,140
I'd like to know the backstory on this

3677
02:04:45,140 --> 02:04:46,580
particular package.

3678
02:04:46,720 --> 02:04:48,280
That is a nice gift.

3679
02:04:48,280 --> 02:04:49,280
And how are you going to send me

3680
02:04:49,280 --> 02:04:50,220
my half of that?

3681
02:04:51,100 --> 02:04:53,140
I'm going to pour off half of it

3682
02:04:53,140 --> 02:04:54,020
into a flash.

3683
02:04:54,200 --> 02:04:54,300
I'm sorry.

3684
02:04:54,420 --> 02:04:55,100
It was a birthday gift.

3685
02:04:55,160 --> 02:04:55,500
I forgot.

3686
02:04:55,640 --> 02:04:56,260
No, that's valid.

3687
02:04:56,380 --> 02:04:56,960
It's a birthday gift.

3688
02:04:57,120 --> 02:04:58,360
I'll send you half anyway.

3689
02:04:58,600 --> 02:05:01,360
No, it'll be in a port of flask

3690
02:05:01,360 --> 02:05:04,060
and I'll put the flask in the mail

3691
02:05:04,060 --> 02:05:06,900
and you'll get it, uh, probably within the

3692
02:05:06,900 --> 02:05:07,700
next couple of years.

3693
02:05:07,720 --> 02:05:08,040
Okay.

3694
02:05:08,280 --> 02:05:08,540

Excellent.

3696
02:05:09,040 --> 02:05:09,920

3697
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:10,320
Or later.

3698
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:10,960
Yeah.

3699
02:05:11,900 --> 02:05:15,340
But I, I'm just stunned by this product,

3700
02:05:15,500 --> 02:05:17,780
the packaging itself, the presentation.

3701
02:05:17,780 --> 02:05:18,960
I'd like to know more.

3702
02:05:18,960 --> 02:05:20,500
That's the point I'm making.

3703
02:05:21,060 --> 02:05:21,620
All right.

3704
02:05:21,720 --> 02:05:22,080

It gets rid of crepe neck.

It's true.

Yeah.

3828
02:09:33,220 --> 02:09:33,340

He's got a whole, he's got a whole

3834
02:09:44,240 --> 02:09:44,860
thing going on.

3835
02:09:44,960 --> 02:09:46,520
He's the hog father stick.

3836
02:09:46,820 --> 02:09:47,220
Yeah.

3837
02:09:47,240 --> 02:09:48,120

Charles is a good guy.

3840

He comes through from time to time.

02:09:54,460 --> 02:09:57,080
Uh, Matt Snyder's next three 33 dot 33,

dear Adam and John on one of the

3843
02:09:58,680 --> 02:09:59,320
first episodes.

3844
02:09:59,320 --> 02:10:02,160
I listened to John recommended Jacques Ellul's book

3845
02:10:02,160 --> 02:10:05,420
on propaganda is one of my many ways.

3846
02:10:05,580 --> 02:10:06,980
This has been one of the many ways

3847
02:10:06,980 --> 02:10:09,040
this show has added value to my life.

3848
02:10:09,160 --> 02:10:10,660
Happy to give some of it back.

3849
02:10:10,740 --> 02:10:13,120
No jingles, just double up karma for no

3850
02:10:13,120 --> 02:10:13,860
agenda nation.

3851
02:10:13,960 --> 02:10:14,960
Well, we're happy to do that.

3852
02:10:15,040 --> 02:10:15,860
Thank you, Matt Snyder.

3853
02:10:15,880 --> 02:10:23,880
You've got karma in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

3854
02:10:23,880 --> 02:10:26,660
comes in at $310 and says simply, thank

3855
02:10:26,660 --> 02:10:26,900
you.

3856
02:10:27,320 --> 02:10:30,420
Please play the Scott Simon jingle.

3857
02:10:30,540 --> 02:10:38,590
Simon, it's a winner.

3858
02:10:39,390 --> 02:10:40,330
Thank you.

3859
02:10:40,430 --> 02:10:42,070
I didn't notice it before, but he does

3860
02:10:42,070 --> 02:10:42,490
say this.

3861
02:10:43,030 --> 02:10:44,850
Yeah, it's cute.

3862
02:10:45,050 --> 02:10:45,390
It's hilarious.

3863
02:10:46,030 --> 02:10:48,530
Uh, Darth Penguin comes up next from Lockport,

3864
02:10:48,690 --> 02:10:49,610
Illinois with $300.

3865
02:10:49,950 --> 02:10:53,090
This is a switcheroo for totally not serial

3866
02:10:53,090 --> 02:10:54,050
killer Kate.

3867
02:10:54,050 --> 02:10:58,710
Yeah, I know her wife of Sir Tony

3868
02:10:58,710 --> 02:11:00,730
of Chicago as a belated birthday gift.

3869
02:11:01,170 --> 02:11:02,170
Kate hit me in the mouth a few

3870
02:11:02,170 --> 02:11:04,130
months ago, and I found your deconstruction of

3871
02:11:04,130 --> 02:11:06,990
M5M at all informing and hilarious.

3872
02:11:07,690 --> 02:11:09,970
I'd love some job karma for Kate and

3873
02:11:09,970 --> 02:11:11,030
a de-douching for me.

3874
02:11:12,570 --> 02:11:14,430
You've been de-douched.

3875
02:11:14,930 --> 02:11:18,590
Sincerely, Darth Penguin of Lock Tucky behind enemy

3876
02:11:18,590 --> 02:11:20,790
lines in the Democratic Republic of Illinois.

3877
02:11:21,170 --> 02:11:22,970
Keep up the amazing work, gentlemen.

3878
02:11:23,230 --> 02:11:26,510
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

3879
02:11:26,590 --> 02:11:28,190
Let's vote for jobs.

3880
02:11:33,510 --> 02:11:36,630
So the story behind totally not serial killer

3881
02:11:36,630 --> 02:11:39,710
Kate is she would be under a different

3882
02:11:39,710 --> 02:11:42,310
name, would be sending me messages on telegram.

3883
02:11:43,470 --> 02:11:45,210
And then all of a sudden she somehow

3884
02:11:45,210 --> 02:11:46,630
was sending Tina messages.

3885
02:11:46,750 --> 02:11:48,110
And I said, she says, do you know

3886
02:11:48,110 --> 02:11:48,550
this person?

3887
02:11:48,670 --> 02:11:49,990
I don't know, but it could be a

3888
02:11:49,990 --> 02:11:50,630
serial killer.

3889
02:11:50,790 --> 02:11:52,010
So be careful what you answer.

3890
02:11:53,050 --> 02:11:55,310
And it turns out she's totally not a

3891
02:11:55,310 --> 02:11:55,930
serial killer.

3892
02:11:56,190 --> 02:11:56,770
So that's good.

3893
02:11:57,990 --> 02:11:59,170
Well, that's good to know.

3894
02:11:59,350 --> 02:11:59,610
That's good.

3895
02:11:59,750 --> 02:12:00,770
We're happy about that.

3896
02:12:01,310 --> 02:12:03,570
Glenn Bukowski in Orlando, Florida is not one

3897
02:12:03,570 --> 02:12:03,770
either.

3898
02:12:03,870 --> 02:12:06,490
He's $300 in some months ago.

3899
02:12:06,590 --> 02:12:10,290
He writes, Chris, Sir Valera.

3900
02:12:11,770 --> 02:12:13,810
Sir Valera sounds right.

3901
02:12:14,250 --> 02:12:14,450
Yeah.

3902
02:12:14,810 --> 02:12:17,490
Call me out on an executive producer note

3903
02:12:17,490 --> 02:12:19,330
for not donating in a while.

3904
02:12:19,490 --> 02:12:20,650
Please deduce me.

3905
02:12:22,510 --> 02:12:26,550
Also, give me some baby making karma.

3906
02:12:27,050 --> 02:12:30,990
Chris and his smoking hot girlfriend to them.

3907
02:12:31,750 --> 02:12:35,790
His smoking hot girlfriend, Alexandria, who are expecting

3908
02:12:35,790 --> 02:12:37,290
their first human resource.

3909
02:12:37,850 --> 02:12:41,390
I hope this little seller comes out in

3910
02:12:41,390 --> 02:12:44,170
perfect health and gets all his looks from

3911
02:12:44,170 --> 02:12:44,730
his mother.

3912
02:12:45,410 --> 02:12:46,950
A little flirting going on.

3913
02:12:47,650 --> 02:12:51,210
In addition to the baby karma, please give

3914
02:12:51,210 --> 02:12:54,230
some Trump jobs karma to all those in

3915
02:12:54,230 --> 02:12:55,550
the no agenda nation.

3916
02:12:55,770 --> 02:13:00,150
Sincerely, Glenn Bukowski from Orlando, Florida.

3917
02:13:00,290 --> 02:13:03,030
Jobs, jobs, jobs.

3918
02:13:04,590 --> 02:13:07,350
You've got karma.

3919
02:13:10,650 --> 02:13:14,350
And coming in as our first associate executive

3920
02:13:14,350 --> 02:13:17,970
producer with 27272, it is old friend of

3921
02:13:17,970 --> 02:13:21,110
the show, Sir Cal of LavenderBlossoms.org from

3922
02:13:21,110 --> 02:13:21,910
Northville, Michigan.

3923
02:13:22,030 --> 02:13:24,010
He says, ITM friends, I've got a great

3924
02:13:24,010 --> 02:13:24,710
tip of the day.

3925
02:13:25,150 --> 02:13:28,830
Use my salves for burn relief, not some

3926
02:13:28,830 --> 02:13:32,210
Chinese goo that who knows what it contains.

3927
02:13:32,630 --> 02:13:36,350
Especially try my Cal's Cannabis line made with

3928
02:13:36,350 --> 02:13:39,730
full spectrum cannabis oil from my own organics.

3929
02:13:40,250 --> 02:13:43,810
That's with love from Sir Cal of LavenderBlossoms

3930
02:13:43,810 --> 02:13:44,390
.org.

3931
02:13:44,470 --> 02:13:45,250
Thank you, Sir Cal.

3932
02:13:45,730 --> 02:13:47,490
That is a good tip of the day.

3933
02:13:48,470 --> 02:13:51,850
Morgan Palace in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, 22222.

3934
02:13:51,930 --> 02:13:52,590
It's a row of ducks.

3935
02:13:53,670 --> 02:13:57,070
Morgan Palace pronounced like Dallas, but with a

3936
02:13:57,070 --> 02:13:57,930
P Palace.

3937
02:13:58,150 --> 02:13:59,110
And I got that right.

3938
02:13:59,910 --> 02:14:03,790
Of M Palace Studios here, a longtime listener,

3939
02:14:03,950 --> 02:14:04,790
first time donation.

3940
02:14:04,930 --> 02:14:05,690
Please deduce me.

3941
02:14:07,230 --> 02:14:09,030
You've been deduced.

3942
02:14:10,870 --> 02:14:14,430
My husband received a monetary birthday gift and

3943
02:14:14,430 --> 02:14:17,510
we both thought of nothing better to do

3944
02:14:18,050 --> 02:14:20,650
than to donate to the best podcast in

3945
02:14:20,650 --> 02:14:21,170
the universe.

3946
02:14:21,550 --> 02:14:21,690
Wow.

3947
02:14:22,010 --> 02:14:22,510
Thank you.

3948
02:14:23,290 --> 02:14:25,650
Thanks to Sir Gearist for hitting me in

3949
02:14:25,650 --> 02:14:26,030
the mouth.

3950
02:14:26,130 --> 02:14:29,330
I am a traditional watercolor artist who blends

3951
02:14:29,330 --> 02:14:32,890
my imagination with realism with a focus on

3952
02:14:32,890 --> 02:14:33,630
the beauty of NASA.

3953
02:14:33,630 --> 02:14:34,990
Send a link to your website.

3954
02:14:35,170 --> 02:14:37,870
I see what you got down there.

3955
02:14:37,950 --> 02:14:39,650
I want to take a traditional water, blah,

3956
02:14:39,690 --> 02:14:40,030
blah, blah.

3957
02:14:40,150 --> 02:14:42,170
Beauty of nature and the magic of things.

3958
02:14:42,410 --> 02:14:43,610
It holds magic.

3959
02:14:43,750 --> 02:14:44,050
It holds.

3960
02:14:44,170 --> 02:14:46,950
I am looking to build a self-sustaining

3961
02:14:46,950 --> 02:14:48,610
business with my creative abilities.

3962
02:14:48,770 --> 02:14:51,590
I travel to find art shows to show

3963
02:14:51,590 --> 02:14:54,190
my original watercolor paintings and reproduction that also

3964
02:14:54,190 --> 02:14:58,710
bring to life commissioned portraits, event flyers or

3965
02:14:58,710 --> 02:15:00,350
whatever my clients have in mind.

3966
02:15:00,350 --> 02:15:04,290
Please check out my Shopify website and share

3967
02:15:04,290 --> 02:15:05,770
with the class.

3968
02:15:06,210 --> 02:15:10,310
And that's M Pala P.A.L.L

3969
02:15:10,310 --> 02:15:13,490
.A.S. Studios with those MPP.

com.

3973
02:15:21,010 --> 02:15:23,650
I paint with the hopes that my creativity

3974
02:15:23,650 --> 02:15:25,770
inspires creativity in you.

3975
02:15:26,030 --> 02:15:27,530
Thank you for your courage.

3976
02:15:27,690 --> 02:15:31,050
And remember to surround yourself with magic over

3977
02:15:31,050 --> 02:15:32,730
the walls with art.

3978
02:15:33,630 --> 02:15:35,810
Morgan from Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

3979
02:15:36,050 --> 02:15:37,710
I'm looking at M Pala P.A.L

3980
02:15:37,710 --> 02:15:38,030
.L.A.S. S.T.U.D.I

3981

.O. dot my Shopify dot com.

3982
02:15:39,850 --> 02:15:41,710
And she has phone cases, John, one for

3983
02:15:41,710 --> 02:15:42,830
you, a phone case.

3984
02:15:43,790 --> 02:15:46,910
Go in the drawer for thirty three dollars.

3985
02:15:47,030 --> 02:15:47,930
I like the pricing.

3986
02:15:48,490 --> 02:15:50,430
That's a no agenda pricing right there.

3987
02:15:50,510 --> 02:15:51,790
Thank you very much, Morgan.

3988
02:15:52,410 --> 02:15:54,710
Hey, there's Dame Astrid coming in from Tokyo,

3989
02:15:54,870 --> 02:15:56,430
Japan, who does not know her.

3990
02:15:56,890 --> 02:16:00,890
Our grand duchess, archduchess, I should say, with

3991
02:16:00,890 --> 02:16:02,430
a row of ducks to to to to

3992
02:16:02,430 --> 02:16:04,590
to please give a hearty happy birthday shout

3993
02:16:04,590 --> 02:16:06,830
out to Sir Mark, Archduke of Japan, who

3994
02:16:06,830 --> 02:16:08,870
is celebrating with his daughter Mila and son

3995
02:16:08,870 --> 02:16:12,190
Max and his sister Annabelle's estate in the

3996
02:16:12,190 --> 02:16:12,810
sunny UK.

3997
02:16:13,050 --> 02:16:14,950
Oh, they've got the Range Rovers out, John,

3998
02:16:14,990 --> 02:16:17,310
and the wellies that are on the estate.

3999
02:16:18,210 --> 02:16:19,950
That's so kind of you, Dame Astrid.

4000
02:16:20,070 --> 02:16:20,970
You must miss him.

4001
02:16:21,330 --> 02:16:24,710
The the shop must miss Sir Mark, but

4002
02:16:24,710 --> 02:16:26,650
he's having a good time celebrating his 60th

4003
02:16:26,650 --> 02:16:26,950
birthday.

4004
02:16:27,270 --> 02:16:28,150
Congratulations, brother.

4005
02:16:28,430 --> 02:16:30,230
That is from Dame Astrid, who says loving

4006
02:16:30,230 --> 02:16:31,450
you all so very much.

4007
02:16:32,010 --> 02:16:34,450
Archduchess of Japan and all the disputed islands

4008
02:16:34,450 --> 02:16:35,750
in the Japan Sea.

4009
02:16:37,350 --> 02:16:40,830
We have Sir Craig, Greg Bircher Dentite from

4010
02:16:40,830 --> 02:16:44,610
Port Angeles, Washington, 200 bucks, who writes in.

4011
02:16:45,030 --> 02:16:46,709
We haven't heard from him for a while.

4012
02:16:46,709 --> 02:16:52,170
Thank you for helping negotiate the empathocracy.

4013
02:16:53,910 --> 02:16:56,309
He sent me a note about this, like

4014
02:16:56,309 --> 02:16:58,570
you almost the word is empathocracy.

4015
02:16:58,930 --> 02:17:01,969
I guess that's what we're living under in

4016
02:17:01,969 --> 02:17:02,350
America.

4017
02:17:02,650 --> 02:17:03,209
Empathocracy.

4018
02:17:03,990 --> 02:17:08,070
Lastly, I have a vintage 1963 Mini Cooper

4019
02:17:08,070 --> 02:17:08,570
race car.

4020
02:17:08,570 --> 02:17:11,209
I've driven that car with no agenda as

4021
02:17:11,209 --> 02:17:12,290
part of its livery.

4022
02:17:12,930 --> 02:17:13,889
We do rides.

4023
02:17:14,110 --> 02:17:16,850
Karma for my daughter's move, please.

4024
02:17:17,030 --> 02:17:17,190
Really?

4025
02:17:17,410 --> 02:17:18,090
I'd love to see it.

4026
02:17:18,150 --> 02:17:20,250
Is it racing green, this Mini Cooper?

4027
02:17:20,430 --> 02:17:21,870
I think it might be green if I'm

4028
02:17:21,870 --> 02:17:22,389
not mistaken.

4029
02:17:22,430 --> 02:17:23,790
Mini Coopers are cool, man.

4030
02:17:23,830 --> 02:17:25,290
The old school ones are very cool.

4031
02:17:25,290 --> 02:17:25,990
Yes, the original.

4032
02:17:26,790 --> 02:17:26,890
Karma.

4033
02:17:29,230 --> 02:17:30,870
They let me drive it around.

4034
02:17:31,190 --> 02:17:31,709
That's nice.

4035
02:17:32,410 --> 02:17:33,570
Send a picture, Greg.

4036
02:17:34,490 --> 02:17:37,150
Wrapping it up with $200, there she is

4037
02:17:37,150 --> 02:17:37,709
once again.

4038
02:17:37,809 --> 02:17:39,570
Every single show, she comes in to support

4039
02:17:39,570 --> 02:17:41,350
the program and her business.

4040
02:17:41,590 --> 02:17:42,650
She is Linda Lou Patkins.

4041
02:17:42,730 --> 02:17:45,170
She's from Lakewood, Colorado, and she asks for

4042
02:17:45,170 --> 02:17:46,410
nothing more than jobs.

4043
02:17:46,530 --> 02:17:49,129
Karma, she says no tariff or taxes, just

4044
02:17:49,129 --> 02:17:51,010
a resume that gets results.

4045
02:17:51,490 --> 02:17:53,690
Go to imagemakersinc.com for all of your

4046
02:17:53,690 --> 02:17:55,610
executive resume and job search needs.

4047
02:17:55,750 --> 02:17:58,610
That's imagemakersinc with a K and work with

4048
02:17:58,610 --> 02:17:59,170
Linda Lou.

4049
02:17:59,309 --> 02:18:01,309
She is the Duchess of Jobs and the

4050
02:18:01,309 --> 02:18:02,209
writer of resumes.

4051
02:18:02,209 --> 02:18:05,850
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4052
02:18:05,969 --> 02:18:07,549
Let's vote for jobs.

4053
02:18:09,270 --> 02:18:09,709
Beautiful.

4054
02:18:11,010 --> 02:18:12,049
Nice little list there.

4055
02:18:12,150 --> 02:18:14,309
Thank you very much, Executive and Associate Executive

4056
02:18:14,309 --> 02:18:16,370
Producers for episode 1754.

4057
02:18:16,809 --> 02:18:19,070
That you can now, that title you can

4058
02:18:19,070 --> 02:18:21,690
use proudly anywhere where you want to on

4059
02:18:21,690 --> 02:18:23,450
your social media, your LinkedIn.

4060
02:18:23,690 --> 02:18:24,830
That'll always get you some hits.

4061
02:18:25,049 --> 02:18:26,230
And of course, you can, if you don't

4062
02:18:26,230 --> 02:18:27,530
have one already, you can open up an

4063
02:18:27,530 --> 02:18:29,750
account at imdb.com because these are credits

4064
02:18:29,750 --> 02:18:33,150
that are recognized internationally by show business people.

4065
02:18:33,650 --> 02:18:35,209
Thank you all for supporting us.

4066
02:18:35,270 --> 02:18:37,610
We'll be thanking $50 and above in our

4067
02:18:37,610 --> 02:18:38,309
second segment.

4068
02:18:38,770 --> 02:18:40,170
And of course, you can always go to

4069
02:18:40,170 --> 02:18:42,250
noagendadonations.com at any time.

4070
02:18:42,309 --> 02:18:43,430
You don't have to wait for the newsletter,

4071
02:18:43,549 --> 02:18:44,469
any special promotions.

4072
02:18:44,650 --> 02:18:46,629
You can set up a recurring donation, which

4073
02:18:46,629 --> 02:18:47,930
helps in the slower periods.

4074
02:18:48,030 --> 02:18:49,570
It is value for value after all.

4075
02:18:49,870 --> 02:18:52,950
Any amount, any frequency, noagendadonations.com.

4076
02:18:53,090 --> 02:18:54,830
Thank you again to these Executive and Associate

4077
02:18:54,830 --> 02:18:55,889
Executive Producers.

4078
02:18:55,889 --> 02:18:57,250
Our formula is this.

4079
02:18:59,330 --> 02:19:00,570
We hit people in the mouth.

4080
02:19:15,629 --> 02:19:16,190
Okay.

4081
02:19:19,430 --> 02:19:21,030
Well, there's a couple other things we should

4082
02:19:21,030 --> 02:19:22,030
probably talk about.

4083
02:19:24,590 --> 02:19:26,530
The, let me see.

4084
02:19:27,230 --> 02:19:32,950
Yeah, on this drill baby drill, you know,

4085
02:19:32,969 --> 02:19:34,770
the oil baron was already saying this is

4086
02:19:34,770 --> 02:19:35,629
not happening.

4087
02:19:36,530 --> 02:19:39,350
And now Reuters is writing reports about it.

4088
02:19:39,450 --> 02:19:42,129
US oil producers face new challenges as top

4089
02:19:42,129 --> 02:19:44,049
oil field flags.

4090
02:19:44,750 --> 02:19:46,670
They're not getting the oil out that they

4091
02:19:46,670 --> 02:19:47,170
used to.

4092
02:19:48,670 --> 02:19:51,230
You know, remember peak oil was a joke.

4093
02:19:51,230 --> 02:19:53,070
It seems like they're kind of getting there.

4094
02:19:53,510 --> 02:19:56,090
Like they're now only getting 65 or 70

4095
02:19:56,090 --> 02:19:58,550
% of the oil out of these shale

4096
02:19:58,550 --> 02:19:59,230
drills.

4097
02:20:00,190 --> 02:20:02,510
The Permian Basin is not pumping what it

4098
02:20:02,510 --> 02:20:03,090
used to.

4099
02:20:03,950 --> 02:20:05,970
Six and a half million barrels per day.

4100
02:20:06,850 --> 02:20:09,070
Nearly half the all-time high of 13

4101
02:20:09,070 --> 02:20:12,530
.5. And they are not drilling new wells.

4102
02:20:12,710 --> 02:20:13,470
They're just not.

4103
02:20:15,740 --> 02:20:18,420
Well, after everybody brings, OPEC brings their prices

4104
02:20:18,420 --> 02:20:21,100
down to nothing, down below 60.

4105
02:20:21,100 --> 02:20:21,700
Yeah.

4106
02:20:22,480 --> 02:20:23,220
Who cares?

4107
02:20:23,380 --> 02:20:23,880
Well, we do.

4108
02:20:24,000 --> 02:20:24,280
We do.

4109
02:20:24,400 --> 02:20:26,380
Keep talking in the mic because you're drifting.

4110
02:20:27,280 --> 02:20:28,380
I haven't changed anything.

4111
02:20:28,540 --> 02:20:29,140
I'm fine.

4112
02:20:29,460 --> 02:20:30,220
Check my volumes.

4113
02:20:30,380 --> 02:20:31,080
Check my levels.

4114
02:20:31,220 --> 02:20:32,180
Your levels are low.

4115
02:20:32,260 --> 02:20:32,860
Potted me up.

4116
02:20:32,980 --> 02:20:34,600
Your levels are low, man.

4117
02:20:35,240 --> 02:20:37,340
But of course, we have solutions to our

4118
02:20:37,340 --> 02:20:37,700
energy.

4119
02:20:37,920 --> 02:20:40,400
And that comes in the form of beautiful,

4120
02:20:40,600 --> 02:20:41,120
clean coal.

4121
02:20:41,300 --> 02:20:42,780
I call it beautiful, clean coal.

4122
02:20:42,880 --> 02:20:44,460
I tell my people never use the word

4123
02:20:44,460 --> 02:20:47,600
coal unless you put beautiful, clean before it.

4124
02:20:47,600 --> 02:20:48,560
Right, Doc?

4125
02:20:49,300 --> 02:20:51,160
So we call it beautiful, clean coal.

4126
02:20:51,760 --> 02:20:53,200
Beautiful, clean coal.

4127
02:20:55,510 --> 02:20:57,490
So today, thank you.

4128
02:20:58,110 --> 02:21:01,230
Today, we're taking historic action to help American

4129
02:21:01,230 --> 02:21:03,510
workers, miners, families and consumers.

4130
02:21:03,870 --> 02:21:06,790
We're ending Joe Biden's war on beautiful, clean

4131
02:21:06,790 --> 02:21:08,330
coal once and for all.

4132
02:21:08,390 --> 02:21:09,710
And it wasn't just Biden.

4133
02:21:09,850 --> 02:21:12,570
It was Obama and others.

4134
02:21:13,030 --> 02:21:15,930
But we're doing the exact opposite.

4135
02:21:16,430 --> 02:21:18,810
Actually, there were a couple of executive orders

4136
02:21:18,810 --> 02:21:19,210
he signed.

4137
02:21:19,290 --> 02:21:20,230
Just keeps on going.

4138
02:21:20,350 --> 02:21:22,190
There's a short rundown of them as he

4139
02:21:22,190 --> 02:21:22,970
was signing them.

4140
02:21:23,110 --> 02:21:25,430
We have four items prepared for your signature

4141
02:21:25,430 --> 02:21:26,510
this afternoon, sir.

4142
02:21:26,830 --> 02:21:29,670
The first of these executive orders is, it

4143
02:21:29,670 --> 02:21:31,770
may be one of the most significant executive

4144
02:21:31,770 --> 02:21:33,830
orders of your administration thus far.

4145
02:21:34,270 --> 02:21:37,510
This directs all departments and agencies of the

4146
02:21:37,510 --> 02:21:42,950
federal government to end all discriminatory policies against

4147
02:21:42,950 --> 02:21:43,850
the coal industry.

4148
02:21:43,850 --> 02:21:47,610
This ends the leasing moratorium that prevents new

4149
02:21:47,610 --> 02:21:49,350
coal projects on federal land.

4150
02:21:49,410 --> 02:21:51,930
And it's going to accelerate all permitting and

4151
02:21:51,930 --> 02:21:54,770
funding for new coal projects to allow the

4152
02:21:54,770 --> 02:21:56,770
coal industry to flourish under your leadership.

4153
02:21:57,370 --> 02:22:00,350
Sir, there are currently dozens of coal plants

4154
02:22:00,350 --> 02:22:02,990
in America that are in imminent danger of

4155
02:22:02,990 --> 02:22:06,370
being forced to close based on unscientific and

4156
02:22:06,370 --> 02:22:10,590
unrealistic policies enacted by the Biden administration.

4157
02:22:10,590 --> 02:22:13,670
What we're going to do is essentially impose

4158
02:22:13,670 --> 02:22:16,770
a moratorium on those policies taking effect to

4159
02:22:16,770 --> 02:22:19,310
protect coal plants that are currently operating, to

4160
02:22:19,310 --> 02:22:21,850
ensure that they're able to continue producing power

4161
02:22:21,850 --> 02:22:24,590
and continue providing jobs to Americans in the

4162
02:22:24,590 --> 02:22:25,090
coal industry.

4163
02:22:25,790 --> 02:22:29,770
Sir, you've made grid reliability and security a

4164
02:22:29,770 --> 02:22:31,590
key focus of this administration.

4165
02:22:32,090 --> 02:22:34,750
This executive order is going to promote grid

4166
02:22:34,750 --> 02:22:38,470
security and reliability by ensuring in part that

4167
02:22:38,470 --> 02:22:41,910
our grid policies are focused on secure and

4168
02:22:41,910 --> 02:22:46,430
effective energy production and energy transmission as opposed

4169
02:22:46,430 --> 02:22:50,650
to woke policies that discriminate against secure sources

4170
02:22:50,650 --> 02:22:53,510
of power like coal and other fossil fuels.

4171
02:22:53,810 --> 02:22:55,190
So the coal is going to help.

4172
02:22:55,390 --> 02:22:56,510
I mean, that's good, isn't it?

4173
02:22:56,530 --> 02:22:59,470
That should bring down energy prices in general.

4174
02:23:00,630 --> 02:23:01,450
Yeah, I think so.

4175
02:23:01,610 --> 02:23:04,850
Yeah, coal works and it's clean and it's

4176
02:23:04,850 --> 02:23:05,270
beautiful.

4177
02:23:05,270 --> 02:23:06,170
It's good.

4178
02:23:06,990 --> 02:23:07,950
It's beautiful.

4179
02:23:08,130 --> 02:23:10,070
Oh, it looks like a helicopter went down

4180
02:23:10,070 --> 02:23:11,770
in New York City in the river.

4181
02:23:12,650 --> 02:23:13,510
In the river.

4182
02:23:13,630 --> 02:23:15,270
Well, this didn't happen downtown.

4183
02:23:15,450 --> 02:23:16,030
Well, they're dead.

4184
02:23:17,090 --> 02:23:17,950
That's not good.

4185
02:23:18,470 --> 02:23:20,710
He had signed one other executive order for

4186
02:23:20,710 --> 02:23:22,910
the new ambassador of Israel and made quite

4187
02:23:22,910 --> 02:23:23,730
a funny remark.

4188
02:23:23,830 --> 02:23:26,590
So the Senate confirmed Governor Huckabee to be

4189
02:23:26,590 --> 02:23:28,770
your next ambassador to Israel earlier today.

4190
02:23:29,610 --> 02:23:32,070
That's his commission as ambassador.

4191
02:23:32,070 --> 02:23:35,210
And then we also have a transmittal letter

4192
02:23:35,210 --> 02:23:38,470
to the president of Israel requesting that he

4193
02:23:38,470 --> 02:23:41,750
accept Governor Huckabee's or excuse me, Ambassador Huckabee's

4194
02:23:41,750 --> 02:23:42,150
credentials.

4195
02:23:42,550 --> 02:23:43,650
He's going to be fantastic.

4196
02:23:44,130 --> 02:23:46,610
He's going to bring home the bacon, even

4197
02:23:46,610 --> 02:23:48,270
though bacon isn't too big in Israel.

4198
02:23:50,630 --> 02:23:52,210
I had to clear that up.

4199
02:23:54,650 --> 02:23:55,870
He caught himself.

4200
02:23:56,090 --> 02:23:56,510
He did.

4201
02:23:57,570 --> 02:23:59,550
Before the news media makes fun of me,

4202
02:23:59,630 --> 02:24:00,730
I might as well do it myself.

4203
02:24:00,730 --> 02:24:01,970
Yeah, that was good.

4204
02:24:02,070 --> 02:24:03,230
That was good.

4205
02:24:04,490 --> 02:24:04,950
Funny.

4206
02:24:05,390 --> 02:24:06,890
I like a funny president.

4207
02:24:08,770 --> 02:24:11,530
Did you hear about the, remember that nut

4208
02:24:11,530 --> 02:24:14,670
job who tried to assassinate the president at

4209
02:24:14,670 --> 02:24:15,190
Mar-a-Lago?

4210
02:24:16,070 --> 02:24:16,770
Yeah, that guy.

4211
02:24:17,170 --> 02:24:19,970
So, you know, we don't hear anything about

4212
02:24:19,970 --> 02:24:20,650
any of these.

4213
02:24:20,850 --> 02:24:23,110
I don't know, what is Pam Bondi doing?

4214
02:24:23,230 --> 02:24:27,430
Oh, we got $500 billion worth of drugs

4215
02:24:27,430 --> 02:24:29,530
and she's running around with cash.

4216
02:24:29,530 --> 02:24:32,410
But I'd still like to know more about

4217
02:24:32,410 --> 02:24:34,950
these assassination attempts and where does that really

4218
02:24:34,950 --> 02:24:35,450
come from?

4219
02:24:35,490 --> 02:24:38,470
And this is that crazy guy who also

4220
02:24:38,470 --> 02:24:43,350
showed up in Ukraine, helping out the Ukrainians.

4221
02:24:43,530 --> 02:24:45,030
And this is a new report.

4222
02:24:45,330 --> 02:24:47,910
Ryan Wesley Ruth, the man arrested for trying

4223
02:24:47,910 --> 02:24:50,670
to assassinate President Trump at his Mar-a

4224
02:24:50,670 --> 02:24:53,330
-Lago golf course in September, tried to buy

4225
02:24:53,330 --> 02:24:57,010
a rocket launcher from a Ukrainian contact with

4226
02:24:57,010 --> 02:25:00,390
Trump's plane being his intended target, according to

4227
02:25:00,390 --> 02:25:01,850
a new DOJ filing.

4228
02:25:02,150 --> 02:25:05,050
The court documents revealed Ruth sent a photo

4229
02:25:05,050 --> 02:25:08,270
of Trump's plane to a Ukrainian associate and

4230
02:25:08,270 --> 02:25:11,250
wrote in a message, Trump's plane, he gets

4231
02:25:11,250 --> 02:25:12,630
on and off daily.

4232
02:25:12,890 --> 02:25:15,290
In messages sent just one month before his

4233
02:25:15,290 --> 02:25:18,090
arrest at Mar-a-Lago, Ruth said, send

4234
02:25:18,090 --> 02:25:21,950
me an RPG rocket propelled grenade or stinger

4235
02:25:21,950 --> 02:25:24,230
and I will see what we can do.

4236
02:25:24,230 --> 02:25:27,090
Trump is not good for Ukraine.

4237
02:25:27,610 --> 02:25:30,890
Ruth allegedly asked the associate about the price

4238
02:25:30,890 --> 02:25:32,530
of the weapon and if it can be

4239
02:25:32,530 --> 02:25:35,750
shipped and said, I need equipment so that

4240
02:25:35,750 --> 02:25:39,430
Trump cannot get elected, according to prosecutors.

4241
02:25:40,070 --> 02:25:42,750
He also said of the rocket, those items

4242
02:25:42,750 --> 02:25:46,990
lost and destroyed daily and one missing would

4243
02:25:46,990 --> 02:25:48,130
not be noticed.

4244
02:25:48,650 --> 02:25:51,930
The DOJ says Ruth also discussed the assassination

4245
02:25:51,930 --> 02:25:55,110
attempt at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, to

4246
02:25:55,110 --> 02:25:58,490
which Ruth allegedly said, I wish, through an

4247
02:25:58,490 --> 02:25:59,870
encrypted messaging app.

4248
02:26:00,230 --> 02:26:03,810
In the DOJ's filing, prosecutors say, attempting to

4249
02:26:03,810 --> 02:26:06,950
purchase a destructive device to blow up President

4250
02:26:06,950 --> 02:26:10,270
Trump's airplane lies squarely within the realm of

4251
02:26:10,270 --> 02:26:11,510
an attempt on his life.

4252
02:26:11,630 --> 02:26:14,490
And Ruth's statements about the purpose of the

4253
02:26:14,490 --> 02:26:17,490
purchase, that he needs equipment so that Trump

4254
02:26:17,490 --> 02:26:20,930
cannot get elected, drives home his intent.

4255
02:26:21,210 --> 02:26:22,690
I wonder if that was part of that.

4256
02:26:23,230 --> 02:26:26,090
Remember there was a couple of news reports

4257
02:26:26,090 --> 02:26:29,750
like, oh, ISIS or they have stingers, they're

4258
02:26:29,750 --> 02:26:30,870
going to shoot the plane out of the

4259
02:26:30,870 --> 02:26:31,090
sky.

4260
02:26:31,190 --> 02:26:34,870
Do you remember that during the campaigning process?

4261
02:26:35,070 --> 02:26:36,590
That doesn't come to mind, but I'm sure

4262
02:26:36,590 --> 02:26:37,950
it was, could have been.

4263
02:26:39,050 --> 02:26:39,350
Yeah.

4264
02:26:39,630 --> 02:26:41,510
This guy was a complete lunatic.

4265
02:26:41,770 --> 02:26:42,390
Yeah, I guess.

4266
02:26:42,390 --> 02:26:47,020
But I think the other stories, even the

4267
02:26:47,020 --> 02:26:50,420
other guy, that guy that looks like Elizabeth

4268
02:26:50,420 --> 02:26:54,640
Warren, the guy who tried to shoot Trump

4269
02:26:54,640 --> 02:26:58,480
in Butler, Pennsylvania, is the more interesting story.

4270
02:26:58,580 --> 02:27:00,420
We don't know anything about that group.

4271
02:27:01,120 --> 02:27:05,700
But the family, the eight cell phones or

4272
02:27:05,700 --> 02:27:07,260
all these cell phones he had.

4273
02:27:08,480 --> 02:27:10,180
I think Ruth had a bunch of cell

4274
02:27:10,180 --> 02:27:10,720
phones too.

4275
02:27:10,720 --> 02:27:14,780
I don't understand why we can't, what's going

4276
02:27:14,780 --> 02:27:16,580
on here that they can't tell us more.

4277
02:27:16,900 --> 02:27:18,880
No, we need to know basis.

4278
02:27:19,200 --> 02:27:22,360
No, instead we get important stories, John, very

4279
02:27:22,360 --> 02:27:23,360
important stories.

4280
02:27:24,480 --> 02:27:26,100
Important stories like this one.

4281
02:27:26,640 --> 02:27:29,120
Michelle Obama is putting to bed rumors that

4282
02:27:29,120 --> 02:27:31,460
she and the former president are divorcing.

4283
02:27:31,680 --> 02:27:33,540
Now is the time for me to start

4284
02:27:33,540 --> 02:27:37,160
asking myself these hard questions of who do

4285
02:27:37,160 --> 02:27:39,820
I truly want to be every day?

4286
02:27:39,820 --> 02:27:43,760
Speaking on actress Sophia Bush's podcast, Mrs. Obama,

4287
02:27:43,960 --> 02:27:47,040
now 61, spoke about her newfound independence.

4288
02:27:47,660 --> 02:27:50,340
The speculation about her marriage grew in January

4289
02:27:50,340 --> 02:27:53,280
when former President Obama showed up solo to

4290
02:27:53,280 --> 02:27:56,620
President Trump's inauguration and to Jimmy Carter's funeral.

4291
02:27:56,960 --> 02:28:00,300
We start actually finally like going, what am

4292
02:28:00,300 --> 02:28:01,300
I, what am I doing?

4293
02:28:01,580 --> 02:28:03,540
You know, who am I doing this for?

4294
02:28:04,580 --> 02:28:05,020
Yeah.

4295
02:28:05,020 --> 02:28:07,760
And if it doesn't fit into the sort

4296
02:28:07,760 --> 02:28:10,600
of stereotype of what people think we should

4297
02:28:10,600 --> 02:28:13,860
do, then it gets labeled as something negative

4298
02:28:13,860 --> 02:28:14,680
and horrible.

4299
02:28:15,080 --> 02:28:17,620
She was in Hawaii on vacation during Carter's

4300
02:28:17,620 --> 02:28:19,900
funeral, and she says she chose not to

4301
02:28:19,900 --> 02:28:21,360
attend the Trump inauguration.

4302
02:28:21,860 --> 02:28:24,220
She says not being tied to political life

4303
02:28:24,220 --> 02:28:26,540
and with her daughters now grown, she has

4304
02:28:26,540 --> 02:28:27,960
more time for herself.

4305
02:28:28,300 --> 02:28:30,500
They couldn't even fathom that I was making

4306
02:28:30,500 --> 02:28:32,560
a choice for myself, that they had to

4307
02:28:32,560 --> 02:28:35,620
assume that my husband and I are divorcing.

4308
02:28:37,120 --> 02:28:40,620
You know, this couldn't be a grown woman

4309
02:28:40,620 --> 02:28:43,580
just making a set of decisions for herself.

4310
02:28:43,800 --> 02:28:46,380
You know, I've been married three times.

4311
02:28:46,540 --> 02:28:49,120
I've gone through two divorces, and I can

4312
02:28:49,120 --> 02:28:50,440
tell you she's getting divorced.

4313
02:28:50,720 --> 02:28:51,320
This is obvious.

4314
02:28:52,300 --> 02:28:53,540
This is exactly what you say.

4315
02:28:54,840 --> 02:28:56,200
Well, you know, the funny thing in the

4316
02:28:56,200 --> 02:29:00,060
giveaway, the latest of this, of these events

4317
02:29:00,060 --> 02:29:04,360
is Obama showed up at some restaurant by

4318
02:29:04,360 --> 02:29:06,600
himself and Secret Service guys that he had

4319
02:29:06,600 --> 02:29:07,240
dinner with.

4320
02:29:08,420 --> 02:29:09,480
That was a while ago.

4321
02:29:09,720 --> 02:29:11,020
In other words, he went out to dinner

4322
02:29:11,020 --> 02:29:12,000
by himself.

4323
02:29:12,820 --> 02:29:13,880
Yeah, it's what you do.

4324
02:29:14,300 --> 02:29:15,560
You go sit there alone.

4325
02:29:16,620 --> 02:29:17,840
That's what you do.

4326
02:29:17,940 --> 02:29:19,040
By the way, did I tell you something?

4327
02:29:19,120 --> 02:29:21,260
I mean, I have eaten dinner by myself

4328
02:29:21,260 --> 02:29:23,420
when I've been on the road, and I

4329
02:29:23,420 --> 02:29:25,820
usually just go to the bar and have,

4330
02:29:25,960 --> 02:29:27,480
because I want to eat something or just

4331
02:29:27,480 --> 02:29:28,060
some restaurant.

4332
02:29:28,160 --> 02:29:28,900
Like I was in Atlanta.

4333
02:29:29,080 --> 02:29:30,800
I remember one time there was this famous

4334
02:29:30,800 --> 02:29:32,820
place, and I, you know, usually I can

4335
02:29:32,820 --> 02:29:34,480
get a PR woman or somebody to go

4336
02:29:34,480 --> 02:29:34,740
out.

4337
02:29:35,660 --> 02:29:36,380
Wait a minute.

4338
02:29:36,680 --> 02:29:39,400
You have a Rolodex, like, hey, PR lady,

4339
02:29:39,500 --> 02:29:40,340
take me out to dinner.

4340
02:29:40,960 --> 02:29:42,380
Yeah, I used to do that all the

4341
02:29:42,380 --> 02:29:42,500
time.

4342
02:29:42,640 --> 02:29:44,340
And I was extremely popular.

4343
02:29:44,580 --> 02:29:45,140
Yeah, I'll bet.

4344
02:29:45,720 --> 02:29:47,500
Because I would always go to these high

4345
02:29:47,500 --> 02:29:49,800
-end restaurants, and they would stick the client

4346
02:29:49,800 --> 02:29:50,520
with the bill.

4347
02:29:51,620 --> 02:29:52,620
And so I...

4348
02:29:52,620 --> 02:29:53,380
Wait, who's the client?

4349
02:29:53,660 --> 02:29:54,100
Who's the client?

4350
02:29:54,100 --> 02:29:55,760
Like a tech company?

4351
02:29:56,220 --> 02:29:57,520
It'd be some big company.

4352
02:29:58,160 --> 02:29:59,720
And so I knew all these people.

4353
02:29:59,800 --> 02:30:02,040
And I said, hey, what about dinner tonight?

4354
02:30:02,680 --> 02:30:04,240
I mean, Atlanta or whatever.

4355
02:30:05,280 --> 02:30:06,480
Yeah, definitely.

4356
02:30:07,260 --> 02:30:08,520
And it wasn't Fringal.

4357
02:30:08,620 --> 02:30:10,020
It was more like, you know, Florida Lee.

4358
02:30:10,240 --> 02:30:12,560
And so it was always high-end.

4359
02:30:12,680 --> 02:30:13,980
And so I was very popular.

4360
02:30:14,380 --> 02:30:14,900
I'll bet.

4361
02:30:15,420 --> 02:30:18,020
As a guy that, because I just know

4362
02:30:18,020 --> 02:30:18,540
how it went.

4363
02:30:18,620 --> 02:30:20,620
It went like the women would say to

4364
02:30:20,620 --> 02:30:22,060
the client, oh, jeez, this is an awfully

4365
02:30:22,060 --> 02:30:23,180
expensive dinner.

4366
02:30:23,620 --> 02:30:24,140
You know?

4367
02:30:24,240 --> 02:30:25,900
Yeah, but it's the tech grouch.

4368
02:30:26,060 --> 02:30:26,340
Hello?

4369
02:30:26,680 --> 02:30:28,260
It's like, yeah, I know.

4370
02:30:28,340 --> 02:30:29,800
But I didn't want to do it.

4371
02:30:29,920 --> 02:30:31,460
But he was so insisting.

4372
02:30:31,580 --> 02:30:32,760
And so what am I supposed to say?

4373
02:30:32,880 --> 02:30:35,280
I can't, you know, I tried to get

4374
02:30:35,280 --> 02:30:37,020
to a cheaper place, but he wouldn't do

4375
02:30:37,020 --> 02:30:37,220
it.

4376
02:30:37,560 --> 02:30:40,200
I can't just imagine the excuses.

4377
02:30:40,480 --> 02:30:42,160
I mean, anybody, you know, if you can

4378
02:30:42,160 --> 02:30:44,680
get a meal on somebody else's dime, that's

4379
02:30:44,680 --> 02:30:45,580
high-end.

4380
02:30:45,800 --> 02:30:46,200
Yeah.

4381
02:30:46,880 --> 02:30:47,320
You do it.

4382
02:30:47,540 --> 02:30:48,860
Did I tell you that I found a

4383
02:30:48,860 --> 02:30:50,940
Chinese restaurant in Fredericksburg?

4384
02:30:53,020 --> 02:30:55,760
I mean, man, there's about 10 jokes that

4385
02:30:55,760 --> 02:30:56,760
are just coming and going.

4386
02:30:56,940 --> 02:30:57,160
I can't.

4387
02:30:57,560 --> 02:30:59,800
Well, I mean, I always- So much

4388
02:30:59,800 --> 02:31:00,560
for my timing.

4389
02:31:00,780 --> 02:31:01,600
I'm driving by.

4390
02:31:01,660 --> 02:31:04,420
I'm like, there's a Panda Express in Fredericksburg.

4391
02:31:04,420 --> 02:31:05,280
Oh, Panda Express.

4392
02:31:05,280 --> 02:31:06,480
Not a Chinese restaurant.

4393
02:31:06,560 --> 02:31:08,200
But wait, that's what I thought.

4394
02:31:08,280 --> 02:31:09,460
It's not Panda Express.

4395
02:31:09,620 --> 02:31:11,540
It's a Chinese restaurant called Panda.

4396
02:31:12,060 --> 02:31:13,080
And Tina was out of town.

4397
02:31:13,160 --> 02:31:14,340
I'm like, I'm going to go get some

4398
02:31:14,340 --> 02:31:16,240
sweet and sour chicken.

4399
02:31:16,340 --> 02:31:17,940
I just feel like, and I could even

4400
02:31:17,940 --> 02:31:18,940
handle Panda Express.

4401
02:31:19,080 --> 02:31:22,000
I walk in, it's a real Chinese restaurant

4402
02:31:22,000 --> 02:31:25,580
with real Chinese in Fredericksburg.

4403
02:31:25,780 --> 02:31:27,580
And I'm like, and I'm sure they had

4404
02:31:27,580 --> 02:31:29,760
heard this before because I said, I thought

4405
02:31:29,760 --> 02:31:30,940
this was a Panda Express.

4406
02:31:31,680 --> 02:31:33,620
This is locally owned business, sir.

4407
02:31:33,700 --> 02:31:34,220
Oh, okay.

4408
02:31:34,480 --> 02:31:35,580
So I chill out, chill out.

4409
02:31:35,620 --> 02:31:36,140
It's not Panda.

4410
02:31:36,460 --> 02:31:37,660
Yeah, it's going to drive them nuts.

4411
02:31:39,000 --> 02:31:40,160
This is not Panda Express.

4412
02:31:40,300 --> 02:31:42,220
This is 14-year locally owned business.

4413
02:31:42,940 --> 02:31:43,580
Oh, wow.

4414
02:31:43,820 --> 02:31:45,080
And it was great.

4415
02:31:45,740 --> 02:31:47,420
Yeah, they gave me the Sapporo with a

4416
02:31:47,420 --> 02:31:48,300
chilled glass.

4417
02:31:48,420 --> 02:31:50,320
I mean, the whole thing, I was blown

4418
02:31:50,320 --> 02:31:50,640
away.

4419
02:31:51,780 --> 02:31:52,500
In Fredericksburg.

4420
02:31:53,140 --> 02:31:55,040
Thank you very much for coming, y'all.

4421
02:31:55,340 --> 02:31:57,680
You know, they're doing their little Texas thing.

4422
02:31:58,000 --> 02:31:58,660
It was great.

4423
02:31:59,660 --> 02:32:00,360
It was really cool.

4424
02:32:03,310 --> 02:32:05,210
Of course, I just was just eating alone.

4425
02:32:05,390 --> 02:32:06,150
Where was Tina?

4426
02:32:06,250 --> 02:32:08,670
Yes, no, she was in Florida visiting her

4427
02:32:08,670 --> 02:32:08,930
friend.

4428
02:32:09,030 --> 02:32:09,670
Yeah, no, I ate alone.

4429
02:32:09,810 --> 02:32:11,570
So you were just a sad sack eating

4430
02:32:11,570 --> 02:32:12,670
by yourself at a dinner?

4431
02:32:12,810 --> 02:32:16,170
At 5.30. Wow, even worse.

4432
02:32:16,490 --> 02:32:17,490
In a Chinese restaurant.

4433
02:32:17,990 --> 02:32:19,370
Yeah, you get that fortune cookie.

4434
02:32:19,470 --> 02:32:20,570
Like, I don't want to look at it.

4435
02:32:20,590 --> 02:32:21,270
This is no good.

4436
02:32:21,310 --> 02:32:22,110
I'm here with myself.

4437
02:32:22,110 --> 02:32:24,570
You'll be eating alone from work.

4438
02:32:26,830 --> 02:32:27,590
That's right.

4439
02:32:27,690 --> 02:32:29,630
Just a sad sack podcaster.

4440
02:32:30,690 --> 02:32:32,270
What do you do for work?

4441
02:32:32,470 --> 02:32:32,890
Podcaster.

4442
02:32:33,110 --> 02:32:34,090
Oh, okay, never mind.

4443
02:32:34,090 --> 02:32:35,070
Sorry, I asked.

4444
02:32:35,070 --> 02:32:36,610
I'm so sorry for you, podcaster.

4445
02:32:37,650 --> 02:32:39,710
So here's a clip, but this is the

4446
02:32:39,710 --> 02:32:40,810
Poland Scammer.

4447
02:32:41,270 --> 02:32:42,310
Oh, all right.

4448
02:32:42,550 --> 02:32:44,730
I once came across an author who used

4449
02:32:44,730 --> 02:32:47,310
to write a book and then using a

4450
02:32:47,310 --> 02:32:50,370
pen name offer reviews of his own book

4451
02:32:50,370 --> 02:32:52,870
to the book editors at the newspapers.

4452
02:32:53,430 --> 02:32:56,450
Well, one of the presidential candidates in Poland,

4453
02:32:56,890 --> 02:32:59,970
Karol Norowski, has done something rather similar.

4454
02:33:00,450 --> 02:33:02,670
He wrote a book under a pen name,

4455
02:33:03,310 --> 02:33:06,310
then appeared on TV as the author, so

4456
02:33:06,310 --> 02:33:08,750
he was wearing a disguise, and then went

4457
02:33:08,750 --> 02:33:11,090
on to praise his real self as the

4458
02:33:11,090 --> 02:33:15,390
genius inspiration behind the book, self-promotion on

4459
02:33:15,390 --> 02:33:15,970
steroids.

4460
02:33:15,970 --> 02:33:19,750
Well, the Polish journalist Bartosz Wilinski has been

4461
02:33:19,750 --> 02:33:20,490
telling me more.

4462
02:33:21,050 --> 02:33:22,250
Well, this is ridiculous.

4463
02:33:22,690 --> 02:33:25,110
He's a, well, right-ish historian.

4464
02:33:25,370 --> 02:33:26,290
He used to be a historian.

4465
02:33:26,810 --> 02:33:28,930
Now he has been appointed as a candidate

4466
02:33:28,930 --> 02:33:32,770
of a populist national party called Law and

4467
02:33:32,770 --> 02:33:33,130
Justice.

4468
02:33:33,410 --> 02:33:34,570
The abbreviation is BIS.

4469
02:33:34,950 --> 02:33:37,310
And they struggle to get into the second

4470
02:33:37,310 --> 02:33:38,410
round of presidential election.

4471
02:33:38,610 --> 02:33:40,810
He's being chased by the real far-right

4472
02:33:40,810 --> 02:33:42,570
politician, Sławomir Mensyn.

4473
02:33:42,870 --> 02:33:45,250
But the problem with this person is that

4474
02:33:45,250 --> 02:33:47,890
apparently he hasn't been vetted good enough.

4475
02:33:48,170 --> 02:33:50,850
Some, you know, shabby fragments of his past

4476
02:33:50,850 --> 02:33:52,290
has been revealed by the media.

4477
02:33:52,430 --> 02:33:55,470
His contacts to the neo-Nazis seen in

4478
02:33:55,470 --> 02:33:58,250
northern Poland, some of people he was, well,

4479
02:33:58,370 --> 02:34:01,570
he knew personally were active members of the

4480
02:34:01,570 --> 02:34:02,750
neo-Nazi groupings in Poland.

4481
02:34:02,950 --> 02:34:05,390
His contacts to the people dealing with organized

4482
02:34:05,390 --> 02:34:06,950
crimes were also revealed.

4483
02:34:07,170 --> 02:34:08,930
And this book is, you know, the cherry

4484
02:34:08,930 --> 02:34:09,610
at the top.

4485
02:34:09,610 --> 02:34:10,430
Hmm.

4486
02:34:13,340 --> 02:34:16,560
So I'm reminded and they're just deteriorating into

4487
02:34:16,560 --> 02:34:19,180
discussions about how Trump used to pull stunts

4488
02:34:19,180 --> 02:34:20,480
like this when he was younger.

4489
02:34:21,500 --> 02:34:22,960
Oh, yeah, he would, he would.

4490
02:34:23,140 --> 02:34:23,340
Remember that?

4491
02:34:23,640 --> 02:34:24,020
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

4492
02:34:24,040 --> 02:34:25,000
He would call up.

4493
02:34:26,280 --> 02:34:28,840
Claiming to be a public relations person or

4494
02:34:28,840 --> 02:34:31,560
somebody else and condemn you.

4495
02:34:31,600 --> 02:34:33,740
I forgot what the backstory of somebody must

4496
02:34:33,740 --> 02:34:33,880
have.

4497
02:34:33,940 --> 02:34:35,080
We've had clips of it.

4498
02:34:35,180 --> 02:34:37,060
Yeah, I'm actually looking for it right now.

4499
02:34:37,120 --> 02:34:39,280
I remember that quite distinctly.

4500
02:34:39,520 --> 02:34:41,300
Here's another screwball story.

4501
02:34:41,300 --> 02:34:43,900
Since we're on these stories, let's go to

4502
02:34:43,900 --> 02:34:46,120
a professor arrested in Thailand.

4503
02:34:46,880 --> 02:34:48,000
Oh, that's never good.

4504
02:34:48,180 --> 02:34:50,920
An American academic living in Thailand is under

4505
02:34:50,920 --> 02:34:53,160
arrest on a charge of insulting the monarchy.

4506
02:34:53,720 --> 02:34:55,780
Thailand has a strict less majestic law.

4507
02:34:56,200 --> 02:34:58,260
A single offense can land the guilty party

4508
02:34:58,260 --> 02:35:00,340
with a prison sentence of up to 15

4509
02:35:00,340 --> 02:35:00,840
years.

4510
02:35:01,300 --> 02:35:04,140
Paul Chambers is a lecturer at Naresorn University

4511
02:35:04,140 --> 02:35:05,380
in Northern Thailand.

4512
02:35:05,800 --> 02:35:08,020
His lawyers say he was denied bail and

4513
02:35:08,020 --> 02:35:09,760
taken into custody on Tuesday.

4514
02:35:10,280 --> 02:35:12,380
They added in a statement that the charge

4515
02:35:12,380 --> 02:35:15,060
stems from a webinar invitation published on the

4516
02:35:15,060 --> 02:35:17,720
website of a Singapore think tank in October.

4517
02:35:18,500 --> 02:35:20,360
A blurb in the invitation refers to the

4518
02:35:20,360 --> 02:35:22,900
appointment of high ranking generals in the military

4519
02:35:22,900 --> 02:35:24,420
and the role of the monarchy.

4520
02:35:25,200 --> 02:35:27,840
Chambers' lawyers say he had no involvement in

4521
02:35:27,840 --> 02:35:29,100
the blurb on the website.

4522
02:35:29,700 --> 02:35:31,380
The U.S. State Department released a statement

4523
02:35:31,380 --> 02:35:33,600
saying it is closely monitoring the situation.

4524
02:35:34,660 --> 02:35:37,360
Less majestic prosecutions in Thailand have spiked in

4525
02:35:37,360 --> 02:35:39,880
recent years, with a rise of protests demanding

4526
02:35:39,880 --> 02:35:41,480
that the monarchy be reformed.

4527
02:35:42,480 --> 02:35:44,260
Yeah, you got to be careful with that

4528
02:35:44,260 --> 02:35:45,140
kind of stuff.

4529
02:35:45,660 --> 02:35:47,360
Yeah, this is a very screwy story.

4530
02:35:47,360 --> 02:35:48,720
But it's well known in Thailand.

4531
02:35:48,940 --> 02:35:51,060
You do not insult the royal family.

4532
02:35:51,180 --> 02:35:51,660
It's done.

4533
02:35:52,440 --> 02:35:54,120
It was that way when I was there

4534
02:35:54,120 --> 02:35:54,820
in 1990.

4535
02:35:55,060 --> 02:35:55,900
Just don't do it.

4536
02:35:56,640 --> 02:35:59,980
The story is actually screwier because everybody who

4537
02:35:59,980 --> 02:36:03,140
talks about it has a different why, what

4538
02:36:03,140 --> 02:36:03,960
was the insult.

4539
02:36:04,140 --> 02:36:06,480
And this one claims it was based on

4540
02:36:06,480 --> 02:36:07,640
some blurb in a website.

4541
02:36:08,260 --> 02:36:10,480
For a seminar in Singapore.

4542
02:36:10,820 --> 02:36:12,900
And then the other one, CBS, I believe

4543
02:36:12,900 --> 02:36:14,460
it was said that it was because he

4544
02:36:14,460 --> 02:36:17,640
went to the seminar and did the Q

4545
02:36:17,640 --> 02:36:18,000
&A.

4546
02:36:18,140 --> 02:36:19,600
And during the Q&A, he asked to

4547
02:36:19,600 --> 02:36:23,060
answer some question and he insulted the monarchy

4548
02:36:23,060 --> 02:36:23,980
by accident.

4549
02:36:24,440 --> 02:36:26,220
And so it's hard to say what happened

4550
02:36:26,220 --> 02:36:26,460
here.

4551
02:36:26,560 --> 02:36:27,940
But yeah, you don't say anything.

4552
02:36:28,380 --> 02:36:30,860
But why is there a monarchy in Thailand?

4553
02:36:32,280 --> 02:36:34,380
Well, it's ceremonial, John.

4554
02:36:34,560 --> 02:36:35,760
It's like all monarchies.

4555
02:36:35,780 --> 02:36:36,920
It's just ceremonial.

4556
02:36:37,440 --> 02:36:39,960
Yeah, if it's so ceremonial, then why do

4557
02:36:39,960 --> 02:36:41,680
people get so bent out of shape about

4558
02:36:41,680 --> 02:36:42,060
anything?

4559
02:36:42,600 --> 02:36:45,200
Well, I'm glad we live in America because

4560
02:36:45,200 --> 02:36:47,720
in America, you can say whatever you want.

4561
02:36:48,300 --> 02:36:51,420
And that's exactly what Senator Kennedy did regarding

4562
02:36:51,420 --> 02:36:53,520
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

4563
02:36:53,540 --> 02:36:54,380
This is a great.

4564
02:36:54,400 --> 02:36:57,020
It's too bad that that Hannity rolls the

4565
02:36:57,020 --> 02:36:58,580
bumper music underneath him.

4566
02:36:58,580 --> 02:36:59,620
But it was still pretty funny.

4567
02:37:00,320 --> 02:37:01,480
What do you think of the new leadership?

4568
02:37:01,680 --> 02:37:03,440
Jasmine AOC and Bernie?

4569
02:37:04,070 --> 02:37:07,980
I consider Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez to be the

4570
02:37:07,980 --> 02:37:09,320
leader of the Democratic Party.

4571
02:37:09,800 --> 02:37:11,620
She's entitled to her opinion.

4572
02:37:12,180 --> 02:37:13,220
I'm entitled to mine.

4573
02:37:13,980 --> 02:37:15,960
As I've said about her before, I think

4574
02:37:15,960 --> 02:37:19,060
she's the reason there are directions on a

4575
02:37:19,060 --> 02:37:19,840
shampoo bottle.

4576
02:37:22,540 --> 02:37:28,580
Our plan for dealing with her is called

4577
02:37:28,580 --> 02:37:30,280
Operation Let Her Speak.

4578
02:37:31,780 --> 02:37:34,540
Now, contrast that with the UK, who are

4579
02:37:34,540 --> 02:37:35,640
proposing a new law.

4580
02:37:35,760 --> 02:37:38,680
This is from GBN, the Great Britain News

4581
02:37:38,680 --> 02:37:39,120
Network.

4582
02:37:39,780 --> 02:37:40,960
And listen to this.

4583
02:37:41,100 --> 02:37:42,960
Welcome back to GBN Tonight with me, Martin

4584
02:37:42,960 --> 02:37:43,380
Dornley.

4585
02:37:43,780 --> 02:37:46,620
Now, the Labour-ran Rushmore Borough Council has

4586
02:37:46,620 --> 02:37:50,720
sparked outrage by proposing a sweeping injunction that

4587
02:37:50,720 --> 02:37:53,000
could see Christian street preachers in prison for

4588
02:37:53,000 --> 02:37:56,140
up to two years if the injunction is

4589
02:37:56,140 --> 02:37:56,720
breached.

4590
02:37:56,780 --> 02:37:59,940
Now, over claims of causing offense or distress.

4591
02:37:59,940 --> 02:38:02,400
Now, under the proposed terms, Christians will be

4592
02:38:02,400 --> 02:38:05,840
banned from praying for individuals, handing out religious

4593
02:38:05,840 --> 02:38:09,200
leaflets or Bibles by hand, and laying hands

4594
02:38:09,200 --> 02:38:11,800
on people in prayer, even with their permission.

4595
02:38:12,820 --> 02:38:14,320
Who's running the UK?

4596
02:38:16,360 --> 02:38:16,940
Satanists.

4597
02:38:17,940 --> 02:38:19,160
What is going on there?

4598
02:38:19,160 --> 02:38:19,940
What else could it be?

4599
02:38:20,000 --> 02:38:23,460
If you listen to that report closely, you

4600
02:38:23,460 --> 02:38:25,820
can't touch anybody if you're, you know, the

4601
02:38:25,820 --> 02:38:28,380
healer, you're supposed to lay hands on somebody

4602
02:38:28,380 --> 02:38:29,100
who's supposed to heal them.

4603
02:38:29,840 --> 02:38:31,760
Or you can't pray for anybody.

4604
02:38:31,760 --> 02:38:33,620
If you pray for somebody, this is like

4605
02:38:33,620 --> 02:38:35,300
a violation.

4606
02:38:35,660 --> 02:38:35,900
What?

4607
02:38:36,040 --> 02:38:37,380
You can't hand them a Bible.

4608
02:38:37,980 --> 02:38:39,520
Can't hand somebody a Bible?

4609
02:38:39,720 --> 02:38:42,100
Because that could hurt someone's feelings, I guess.

4610
02:38:43,440 --> 02:38:43,700
Yeah.

4611
02:38:44,720 --> 02:38:47,680
You know, Germany, I was really thinking about

4612
02:38:47,680 --> 02:38:48,040
this.

4613
02:38:48,900 --> 02:38:52,620
Germany, I mean, they are so clamped down,

4614
02:38:52,700 --> 02:38:54,540
so locked up, the German people.

4615
02:38:55,440 --> 02:38:57,480
And when you hear this, I only have

4616
02:38:57,480 --> 02:38:59,560
German clips, so it doesn't really work for

4617
02:38:59,560 --> 02:38:59,980
the show.

4618
02:39:00,400 --> 02:39:03,560
But they're talking about when this war comes.

4619
02:39:03,700 --> 02:39:07,360
They're so hyped up about war, and it's

4620
02:39:07,360 --> 02:39:07,620
all...

4621
02:39:08,080 --> 02:39:09,040
Gee, the Germans?

4622
02:39:09,440 --> 02:39:10,860
Well, yeah, that's my point.

4623
02:39:10,900 --> 02:39:11,420
That's a shocker.

4624
02:39:11,460 --> 02:39:12,140
That's my point.

4625
02:39:12,240 --> 02:39:14,100
World War I, who started it?

4626
02:39:17,150 --> 02:39:17,810
Who started it?

4627
02:39:17,830 --> 02:39:21,910
Germany was responsible for the thing getting out

4628
02:39:21,910 --> 02:39:23,050
of control, that's for sure.

4629
02:39:23,110 --> 02:39:23,950
World War II.

4630
02:39:24,850 --> 02:39:26,450
Well, that was obviously Germans.

4631
02:39:27,750 --> 02:39:29,710
And who was it always against?

4632
02:39:29,810 --> 02:39:30,090
The French.

4633
02:39:30,090 --> 02:39:31,910
What about the Hundred Years' War?

4634
02:39:32,090 --> 02:39:32,750
There's all kinds of...

4635
02:39:32,750 --> 02:39:33,930
It goes way back in time.

4636
02:39:34,290 --> 02:39:34,650
But why?

4637
02:39:34,950 --> 02:39:37,090
I mean, it's, you know, speaking of...

4638
02:39:37,090 --> 02:39:37,870
They like to fight.

4639
02:39:38,270 --> 02:39:39,150
But I don't think it's the people.

4640
02:39:39,150 --> 02:39:41,790
But there's not that many good German boxers.

4641
02:39:41,870 --> 02:39:43,070
I mean, what kind of fighting are they?

4642
02:39:43,070 --> 02:39:44,470
It's not the people.

4643
02:39:44,530 --> 02:39:46,070
The governments there are nuts.

4644
02:39:46,270 --> 02:39:48,350
It's like something in the water over there,

4645
02:39:48,450 --> 02:39:50,590
and the German government goes crazy.

4646
02:39:51,330 --> 02:39:52,870
And, you know, now they're borrowing all this

4647
02:39:52,870 --> 02:39:54,850
money to build their own war machine.

4648
02:39:57,070 --> 02:39:58,430
Well, it's just a matter of time.

4649
02:39:58,650 --> 02:39:59,750
Yes, you know what?

4650
02:39:59,750 --> 02:40:01,790
Yes, it's just a matter of time.

4651
02:40:01,910 --> 02:40:02,950
And I don't get it.

4652
02:40:02,970 --> 02:40:05,610
I don't understand how can that happen time

4653
02:40:05,610 --> 02:40:06,430
and time again?

4654
02:40:07,550 --> 02:40:09,690
And it's going to be against France again.

4655
02:40:10,270 --> 02:40:11,150
Yeah, obviously.

4656
02:40:12,110 --> 02:40:14,410
I don't know why, but it's always against

4657
02:40:14,410 --> 02:40:14,790
France.

4658
02:40:14,950 --> 02:40:16,090
Leave the French alone.

4659
02:40:17,810 --> 02:40:20,150
The French have had their issues too.

4660
02:40:20,610 --> 02:40:21,230
Well, sure.

4661
02:40:21,610 --> 02:40:23,790
But still, it's just like, I don't understand.

4662
02:40:25,950 --> 02:40:26,810
Let's see.

4663
02:40:27,390 --> 02:40:28,970
Mark Rutte was in Japan.

4664
02:40:29,290 --> 02:40:30,150
Here we go.

4665
02:40:30,190 --> 02:40:30,650
Yeah, all right.

4666
02:40:30,710 --> 02:40:33,150
Okay, Mark, sell us some more weapons.

4667
02:40:33,950 --> 02:40:37,710
First of all, let's acknowledge that the United

4668
02:40:37,710 --> 02:40:41,030
States having to take care not only of

4669
02:40:41,030 --> 02:40:45,250
the Euro-Atlantic area, but also of the

4670
02:40:45,250 --> 02:40:46,670
Indo-Pacific and, of course, the Middle East,

4671
02:40:47,210 --> 02:40:49,530
has to focus attention to more than one,

4672
02:40:49,610 --> 02:40:51,890
what is so-called theater at the same

4673
02:40:51,890 --> 02:40:52,150
time.

4674
02:40:52,250 --> 02:40:53,050
So it is totally...

4675
02:40:53,050 --> 02:40:54,610
Yeah, it's real theater, all right.

4676
02:40:55,070 --> 02:40:56,390
Logical that they try.

4677
02:40:56,470 --> 02:40:58,770
And this is happening now since 2010, basically.

4678
02:40:58,770 --> 02:41:01,670
And President Trump clearly stated that he wants

4679
02:41:01,670 --> 02:41:03,610
to continue with the policy and maybe even

4680
02:41:03,610 --> 02:41:04,050
speed it up.

4681
02:41:04,070 --> 02:41:04,890
Stop the clip.

4682
02:41:05,970 --> 02:41:07,650
I have to say, this is the only

4683
02:41:07,650 --> 02:41:08,590
time this has happened.

4684
02:41:09,170 --> 02:41:12,310
But it's gotten to the point where you

4685
02:41:12,310 --> 02:41:15,050
and him sound so close together.

4686
02:41:15,190 --> 02:41:16,450
You don't even recognize it.

4687
02:41:16,690 --> 02:41:18,130
I can't tell who's talking.

4688
02:41:19,770 --> 02:41:21,950
So you could be slipping stuff in.

4689
02:41:22,030 --> 02:41:22,750
I was.

4690
02:41:22,830 --> 02:41:23,510
These clips.

4691
02:41:23,850 --> 02:41:24,790
Yeah, I think you did.

4692
02:41:24,870 --> 02:41:25,350
I don't know.

4693
02:41:25,590 --> 02:41:26,350
I can't tell.

4694
02:41:26,490 --> 02:41:28,150
You've got this guy nailed.

4695
02:41:28,150 --> 02:41:31,310
You have the same vocal intonations.

4696
02:41:31,510 --> 02:41:32,170
It's very funny.

4697
02:41:32,590 --> 02:41:35,910
President Trump, he has already said that we

4698
02:41:35,910 --> 02:41:37,190
must go to the 5%.

4699
02:41:37,190 --> 02:41:39,870
Clearly stated that he wants to continue with

4700
02:41:39,870 --> 02:41:41,570
the policy and maybe even speed it up.

4701
02:41:41,790 --> 02:41:42,250
Speed it up.

4702
02:41:42,250 --> 02:41:43,390
More towards Asia.

4703
02:41:43,550 --> 02:41:44,370
That's totally logical.

4704
02:41:44,610 --> 02:41:45,730
And pivot towards Asia.

4705
02:41:45,910 --> 02:41:46,330
There we go.

4706
02:41:46,610 --> 02:41:49,330
And also that they want the European and

4707
02:41:49,330 --> 02:41:53,050
Canadian NATO allies to take more of a

4708
02:41:53,050 --> 02:41:54,450
burden, share the burden.

4709
02:41:54,490 --> 02:41:55,110
Share the burden.

4710
02:41:55,170 --> 02:41:56,870
In a more equal, in a fairer way.

4711
02:41:56,870 --> 02:41:58,290
By paying more.

4712
02:41:58,990 --> 02:42:00,530
It's only logical that where the US is

4713
02:42:00,530 --> 02:42:02,710
spending 3.4, 3.5% of GDP

4714
02:42:02,710 --> 02:42:05,810
on defense that they want for Europe to

4715
02:42:05,810 --> 02:42:08,890
equalize with what the US is spending.

4716
02:42:09,030 --> 02:42:09,290
Five.

4717
02:42:09,470 --> 02:42:11,210
And by the way, not because the US

4718
02:42:11,210 --> 02:42:12,010
is asking this.

4719
02:42:12,170 --> 02:42:13,970
But NATO as a whole, if it would

4720
02:42:13,970 --> 02:42:17,790
stick with the original 2% goal, we

4721
02:42:17,790 --> 02:42:22,310
cannot defend ourselves going forward in three to

4722
02:42:22,310 --> 02:42:23,490
five years against the Russians.

4723
02:42:23,630 --> 02:42:24,330
It is that simple.

4724
02:42:24,470 --> 02:42:26,330
What is this three to five years against

4725
02:42:26,330 --> 02:42:26,810
the Russians?

4726
02:42:26,810 --> 02:42:27,770
Are the Russians coming?

4727
02:42:28,090 --> 02:42:28,990
And luckily we are.

4728
02:42:29,190 --> 02:42:32,350
So the spending is ramping up.

4729
02:42:32,490 --> 02:42:34,930
And then to the question, it means that

4730
02:42:34,930 --> 02:42:36,210
we have, it is an end-to-end

4731
02:42:36,210 --> 02:42:36,610
policy.

4732
02:42:36,790 --> 02:42:38,630
We have to spend more on the European

4733
02:42:38,630 --> 02:42:39,750
Canadian side of NATO.

4734
02:42:39,930 --> 02:42:40,130
Yes.

4735
02:42:40,230 --> 02:42:42,210
But why are you in Japan, Mr. Rutte?

4736
02:42:42,310 --> 02:42:43,810
You are a member of NATO.

4737
02:42:44,110 --> 02:42:45,330
So why are you in Japan?

4738
02:42:46,410 --> 02:42:48,970
The US will over time pivot more towards

4739
02:42:48,970 --> 02:42:49,410
Asia.

4740
02:42:49,550 --> 02:42:50,550
This is happening already.

4741
02:42:50,810 --> 02:42:51,810
And that will continue.

4742
02:42:51,930 --> 02:42:52,710
This is only logical.

4743
02:42:53,130 --> 02:42:54,070
It's logical.

4744
02:42:55,430 --> 02:42:56,310
What is this?

4745
02:42:56,470 --> 02:42:56,910
It's logical.

4746
02:42:57,130 --> 02:42:59,130
It's only logical because, you know, we have

4747
02:42:59,130 --> 02:43:02,610
to get in the Pacific to screw around

4748
02:43:02,610 --> 02:43:03,450
with the Chinese.

4749
02:43:04,410 --> 02:43:06,450
And at the same time, the president made

4750
02:43:06,450 --> 02:43:07,950
it very clear in my meeting with him

4751
02:43:07,950 --> 02:43:11,090
now a month ago that it is important

4752
02:43:11,090 --> 02:43:12,990
for NATO to be also involved here.

4753
02:43:13,190 --> 02:43:15,030
What in the Pacific is NATO?

4754
02:43:15,230 --> 02:43:15,970
Is that the Pacific?

4755
02:43:17,430 --> 02:43:18,530
Through the IP4.

4756
02:43:18,810 --> 02:43:20,470
So that is the Republic of Korea, Australia,

4757
02:43:20,630 --> 02:43:21,030
New Zealand.

4758
02:43:21,250 --> 02:43:22,090
And of course...

4759
02:43:22,090 --> 02:43:23,550
They're on IPV4 there.

4760
02:43:23,550 --> 02:43:24,450
What's the IP4?

4761
02:43:26,970 --> 02:43:28,570
Indo-Pacific four agreement?

4762
02:43:28,730 --> 02:43:29,550
I have no idea.

4763
02:43:30,390 --> 02:43:30,810
IP4.

4764
02:43:31,530 --> 02:43:32,330
What is that?

4765
02:43:32,350 --> 02:43:33,670
By the way, the only thing you're doing

4766
02:43:33,670 --> 02:43:37,050
that you're not nailing is this stutter.

4767
02:43:37,610 --> 02:43:38,410
Yeah, it's hard.

4768
02:43:38,950 --> 02:43:42,470
He always says that a lot.

4769
02:43:42,770 --> 02:43:45,710
The only thing that is missed is logical.

4770
02:43:45,810 --> 02:43:46,450
Yeah, I like that.

4771
02:43:46,650 --> 02:43:46,930
It's logical.

4772
02:43:47,630 --> 02:43:48,490
You can work on that.

4773
02:43:48,590 --> 02:43:48,810
You'll know.

4774
02:43:49,070 --> 02:43:49,630
Here it is.

4775
02:43:49,630 --> 02:43:52,870
NATO is strengthening a dialogue and cooperation with

4776
02:43:52,870 --> 02:43:55,410
its partners in the Indo-Pacific region, Australia,

4777
02:43:55,570 --> 02:43:57,830
Japan and Republic of Korea and New Zealand.

4778
02:43:58,290 --> 02:44:00,450
This is a very complex security environment, you

4779
02:44:00,450 --> 02:44:00,570
see.

4780
02:44:00,870 --> 02:44:03,950
Our the biggest economy in IP4 and the

4781
02:44:03,950 --> 02:44:06,370
only G7 economy, not in NATO, and that

4782
02:44:06,370 --> 02:44:07,270
is Japan.

4783
02:44:07,430 --> 02:44:07,650
Japan.

4784
02:44:07,930 --> 02:44:08,990
And that's exactly why I'm here.

4785
02:44:09,190 --> 02:44:10,430
Yes, to get you in.

4786
02:44:10,510 --> 02:44:11,130
You get your money.

4787
02:44:12,030 --> 02:44:13,870
You get to spend the money.

4788
02:44:14,410 --> 02:44:16,150
And that's exactly why I'm here to discuss

4789
02:44:16,150 --> 02:44:18,850
defense industrial production, innovation, space.

4790
02:44:20,130 --> 02:44:23,210
Japan already is participating in many NATO activities.

4791
02:44:23,570 --> 02:44:25,970
This is not about extending Article 5 to

4792
02:44:25,970 --> 02:44:26,990
the Indo-Pacific.

4793
02:44:27,130 --> 02:44:28,350
No, not about that.

4794
02:44:28,430 --> 02:44:29,270
Just getting your money.

4795
02:44:29,390 --> 02:44:30,710
No, this is the collective defense clause.

4796
02:44:30,770 --> 02:44:31,510
That will not happen.

4797
02:44:32,030 --> 02:44:34,550
But to have a more integrated way of

4798
02:44:34,550 --> 02:44:38,730
working together, to really have this, to acknowledge

4799
02:44:38,730 --> 02:44:41,070
that these two areas, the Indo-Pacific and

4800
02:44:41,070 --> 02:44:42,830
the Euro-Atlantic, cannot be seen as separate.

4801
02:44:43,370 --> 02:44:44,470
This is exactly why I'm here.

4802
02:44:44,970 --> 02:44:46,950
Okay, he's shaking you down.

4803
02:44:46,950 --> 02:44:49,730
Where he goes, he goes to this long,

4804
02:44:49,970 --> 02:44:51,990
crazy talk.

4805
02:44:52,090 --> 02:44:53,770
And this is exactly why I'm here.

4806
02:44:53,770 --> 02:44:55,330
If you know exactly about it.

4807
02:44:55,370 --> 02:44:56,450
He's shaking him down, man.

4808
02:44:56,510 --> 02:44:56,830
He's there.

4809
02:44:56,970 --> 02:44:58,210
It's a shakedown.

4810
02:44:58,470 --> 02:44:59,830
This is what it sounds like.

4811
02:44:59,990 --> 02:45:01,590
It's amazing, this guy.

4812
02:45:01,730 --> 02:45:04,130
I mean, it would be, it's just, it's

4813
02:45:04,130 --> 02:45:06,690
so funny because he's such a twerp, a

4814
02:45:06,690 --> 02:45:08,370
nerd, a loser, a dork.

4815
02:45:08,950 --> 02:45:09,890
Everybody knows it.

4816
02:45:09,950 --> 02:45:11,390
Now he's like big man on campus.

4817
02:45:11,550 --> 02:45:12,570
Oh, Mark Rutte is coming.

4818
02:45:13,890 --> 02:45:17,090
For any Dutchman in the past 12 years

4819
02:45:17,090 --> 02:45:19,090
who's been in Holland at all, it's just

4820
02:45:19,090 --> 02:45:21,910
like, we can't believe this guy is the

4821
02:45:21,910 --> 02:45:22,970
top NATO dog.

4822
02:45:23,890 --> 02:45:24,810
It's hilarious.

4823
02:45:25,130 --> 02:45:25,850
It's crazy.

4824
02:45:26,090 --> 02:45:27,290
Well, it's good for the show since we

4825
02:45:27,290 --> 02:45:29,210
have a clone of him sitting there on

4826
02:45:29,210 --> 02:45:29,870
the other mic.

4827
02:45:29,990 --> 02:45:30,270
Yes.

4828
02:45:32,310 --> 02:45:35,430
The only thing is we need to ramp

4829
02:45:35,430 --> 02:45:37,450
it up to 5%.

4830
02:45:37,450 --> 02:45:38,490
That's it.

4831
02:45:38,910 --> 02:45:39,830
We have to equalize.

4832
02:45:39,830 --> 02:45:41,670
Not because the U.S. wants this, but

4833
02:45:41,670 --> 02:45:43,370
because it is only fair that we share

4834
02:45:43,370 --> 02:45:43,790
the burden.

4835
02:45:43,990 --> 02:45:44,650
Share the burden.

4836
02:45:47,150 --> 02:45:48,090
I'm getting there.

4837
02:45:50,270 --> 02:45:54,470
Meanwhile, back home at the ranch, that nut

4838
02:45:54,470 --> 02:46:00,430
job professor from Princeton University, Eddie Glaude, you

4839
02:46:00,430 --> 02:46:00,870
know the guy?

4840
02:46:01,890 --> 02:46:02,250
No.

4841
02:46:02,430 --> 02:46:03,490
When you hear him, you will.

4842
02:46:03,850 --> 02:46:05,110
He hasn't gotten the memo.

4843
02:46:05,110 --> 02:46:07,710
It's like, don't you know that we've already

4844
02:46:07,710 --> 02:46:09,510
moved way beyond this?

4845
02:46:09,890 --> 02:46:11,590
There's different things to talk about.

4846
02:46:11,670 --> 02:46:12,590
We've got tariffs.

4847
02:46:12,630 --> 02:46:13,430
We got trade.

4848
02:46:13,590 --> 02:46:14,870
We got all kinds of things.

4849
02:46:14,970 --> 02:46:18,490
But no, he's still, Trump is racist.

4850
02:46:18,730 --> 02:46:21,490
Have to grapple with it because it's the

4851
02:46:21,490 --> 02:46:21,810
snake.

4852
02:46:21,990 --> 02:46:25,710
It's the beast coiled up in the heart,

4853
02:46:25,930 --> 02:46:27,770
the bosom of the country, as Frederick Douglass

4854
02:46:27,770 --> 02:46:28,090
said.

4855
02:46:28,430 --> 02:46:29,910
And the fact that they are doubling down

4856
02:46:29,910 --> 02:46:31,870
on this shows you what kind of human

4857
02:46:31,870 --> 02:46:32,950
beings they actually are.

4858
02:46:33,210 --> 02:46:33,510
Say more.

4859
02:46:34,250 --> 02:46:35,190
Say more.

4860
02:46:35,490 --> 02:46:39,950
We chose a felon who is more interested

4861
02:46:39,950 --> 02:46:44,730
in loyalty, who's more interested in retribution, who's

4862
02:46:44,730 --> 02:46:47,750
more interested in grift than in democracy.

4863
02:46:48,630 --> 02:46:51,410
And we chose a felon because we didn't

4864
02:46:51,410 --> 02:46:52,570
want to elect a black woman.

4865
02:46:54,310 --> 02:46:57,410
So to read that- Yeah, this guy's

4866
02:46:57,410 --> 02:46:57,890
a lunatic.

4867
02:46:57,890 --> 02:47:01,950
That is to say we would rather destroy

4868
02:47:01,950 --> 02:47:05,610
the republic than for that to have happened.

4869
02:47:06,510 --> 02:47:08,390
And until we grapple with it, there's no

4870
02:47:08,390 --> 02:47:10,270
amount of protesting I could do.

4871
02:47:10,950 --> 02:47:13,870
There's no amount of resistance that could come

4872
02:47:13,870 --> 02:47:17,470
into play to actually force 78 million people

4873
02:47:17,470 --> 02:47:19,870
to grapple with what motivated them to put

4874
02:47:19,870 --> 02:47:21,850
themselves in this position.

4875
02:47:22,890 --> 02:47:24,550
This guy, does he have tenure?

4876
02:47:24,710 --> 02:47:25,530
He must have tenure.

4877
02:47:26,450 --> 02:47:28,170
I can't believe he's a professor.

4878
02:47:28,330 --> 02:47:30,670
He just seems like a dumb, a huge

4879
02:47:30,670 --> 02:47:32,110
dummy, racist.

4880
02:47:32,310 --> 02:47:32,890
Yeah, yes.

4881
02:47:32,990 --> 02:47:33,990
He's super racist.

4882
02:47:34,330 --> 02:47:34,650
He's unbelievable.

4883
02:47:35,770 --> 02:47:38,390
And then Nicole Wallace, say more.

4884
02:47:38,830 --> 02:47:39,830
Say more, please.

4885
02:47:39,910 --> 02:47:40,390
It's great.

4886
02:47:40,530 --> 02:47:41,070
Say more.

4887
02:47:42,270 --> 02:47:43,290
I don't know what to do with these

4888
02:47:43,290 --> 02:47:43,590
people.

4889
02:47:44,190 --> 02:47:45,410
All right, John, give us one more.

4890
02:47:45,550 --> 02:47:46,490
Give them some good.

4891
02:47:46,650 --> 02:47:48,650
Let's do some stuff on Trump's health.

4892
02:47:48,770 --> 02:47:49,630
This was from NPR.

4893
02:47:49,810 --> 02:47:52,130
They talk about his health because now we're

4894
02:47:52,130 --> 02:47:54,390
going to slowly move toward that in that

4895
02:47:54,390 --> 02:47:56,250
direction because, you know, we know that he's

4896
02:47:56,250 --> 02:47:56,630
nuts.

4897
02:47:57,070 --> 02:47:57,830
Oh, I see.

4898
02:47:57,970 --> 02:47:59,050
Yeah, we got to do that.

4899
02:47:59,130 --> 02:47:59,850
That makes sense.

4900
02:48:00,670 --> 02:48:03,130
At 78 years old, Trump is the oldest

4901
02:48:03,130 --> 02:48:05,470
president to start his second term.

4902
02:48:05,910 --> 02:48:08,630
He follows former President Biden, who visibly slowed

4903
02:48:08,630 --> 02:48:10,090
down while in office.

4904
02:48:10,490 --> 02:48:13,270
NPR senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith reports.

4905
02:48:13,990 --> 02:48:16,070
When he first ran for office in 2015,

4906
02:48:16,510 --> 02:48:19,010
then candidate Trump's doctor put out a statement

4907
02:48:19,010 --> 02:48:22,810
that described his lab results as astonishingly excellent

4908
02:48:22,810 --> 02:48:25,770
and concluded he would be the healthiest individual

4909
02:48:25,770 --> 02:48:27,530
ever elected to the presidency.

4910
02:48:27,910 --> 02:48:30,870
The doctor later said Trump had dictated it

4911
02:48:30,870 --> 02:48:31,350
to him.

4912
02:48:31,670 --> 02:48:33,690
Then came Dr. Ronny Jackson.

4913
02:48:34,070 --> 02:48:35,970
It's some people have, you know, just great

4914
02:48:35,970 --> 02:48:36,230
genes.

4915
02:48:36,590 --> 02:48:38,170
You know, I told the president that if

4916
02:48:38,170 --> 02:48:39,590
he had a healthier diet over the last

4917
02:48:39,590 --> 02:48:40,990
20 years, he might live to be 200

4918
02:48:40,990 --> 02:48:41,470
years old.

4919
02:48:41,530 --> 02:48:41,890
I don't know.

4920
02:48:42,250 --> 02:48:44,750
Trump is known for his love of McDonald's

4921
02:48:44,750 --> 02:48:46,630
and isn't a fan of exercise.

4922
02:48:47,390 --> 02:48:49,510
Jackson was Trump's first White House physician.

4923
02:48:49,510 --> 02:48:52,410
In January 2018, he held court in the

4924
02:48:52,410 --> 02:48:55,410
briefing room, answering questions at length about the

4925
02:48:55,410 --> 02:48:58,250
president's health, including his cognitive health.

4926
02:48:58,630 --> 02:48:59,690
I was not going to do a cognitive

4927
02:48:59,690 --> 02:49:00,030
exam.

4928
02:49:00,170 --> 02:49:01,190
I had no intention of doing one.

4929
02:49:01,410 --> 02:49:03,930
The reason that we did the cognitive assessment

4930
02:49:03,930 --> 02:49:06,110
is plain and simple because the president asked

4931
02:49:06,110 --> 02:49:06,630
me to do it.

4932
02:49:06,830 --> 02:49:09,150
Jackson said Trump scored a 30 out of

4933
02:49:09,150 --> 02:49:09,530
30.

4934
02:49:09,830 --> 02:49:12,130
Years later, in a Fox News interview, Trump

4935
02:49:12,130 --> 02:49:13,390
described the test.

4936
02:49:13,390 --> 02:49:20,210
Like, you'll go person, woman, man, camera, TV.

4937
02:49:20,510 --> 02:49:23,430
It's a very basic assessment that includes remembering

4938
02:49:23,430 --> 02:49:26,030
a short series of unrelated words.

4939
02:49:26,270 --> 02:49:31,150
Person, woman, man, camera, TV.

4940
02:49:31,650 --> 02:49:34,010
They say, that's amazing.

4941
02:49:34,210 --> 02:49:35,370
How did you do that?

4942
02:49:35,910 --> 02:49:37,910
I do it because I have a good

4943
02:49:37,910 --> 02:49:40,970
memory, because I'm cognitively there.

4944
02:49:40,970 --> 02:49:43,470
Since the end of his first term, Trump

4945
02:49:43,470 --> 02:49:46,670
has released very little health information, just a

4946
02:49:46,670 --> 02:49:50,310
2023 doctor's letter, without any data, saying he'd

4947
02:49:50,310 --> 02:49:53,290
lost weight and, quote, his cognitive exams were

4948
02:49:53,290 --> 02:49:53,890
exceptional.

4949
02:49:54,230 --> 02:49:55,890
You know, you're right.

4950
02:49:56,030 --> 02:49:59,230
This is the rotation, the Trump rotation.

4951
02:49:59,730 --> 02:50:01,510
You know what's coming next after the health

4952
02:50:01,510 --> 02:50:01,670
thing.

4953
02:50:01,690 --> 02:50:03,550
It's going to be another woman.

4954
02:50:03,850 --> 02:50:04,910
Like, he raped me.

4955
02:50:05,170 --> 02:50:05,610
Scandal.

4956
02:50:05,790 --> 02:50:06,610
He groped me.

4957
02:50:07,310 --> 02:50:09,050
You can just wait because they really want

4958
02:50:09,050 --> 02:50:09,790
to hurt Melania.

4959
02:50:10,250 --> 02:50:12,530
That's what they like the most, because they

4960
02:50:12,530 --> 02:50:13,570
know that gets to them.

4961
02:50:15,150 --> 02:50:17,510
I think you can just mark it.

4962
02:50:20,070 --> 02:50:21,070
They always do it.

4963
02:50:22,890 --> 02:50:24,670
This is just a setup for something.

4964
02:50:24,810 --> 02:50:26,130
They're going to work on it for the

4965
02:50:26,130 --> 02:50:26,330
future.

4966
02:50:26,410 --> 02:50:28,550
This is why this operation, the NPR and

4967
02:50:28,550 --> 02:50:32,050
PBS bullshit, they don't deserve any government money

4968
02:50:32,050 --> 02:50:32,590
whatsoever.

4969
02:50:33,090 --> 02:50:35,190
I'm reminded, by the way, I didn't get

4970
02:50:35,190 --> 02:50:35,990
to talk about this.

4971
02:50:36,470 --> 02:50:37,690
There's a second part to this.

4972
02:50:37,690 --> 02:50:40,170
But I'm reminded of the taking the money

4973
02:50:40,170 --> 02:50:41,270
away from the Voice of America.

4974
02:50:41,290 --> 02:50:42,630
So I went over to the website and

4975
02:50:42,630 --> 02:50:43,210
looked around.

4976
02:50:44,950 --> 02:50:48,710
And it's all anti-Republican, anti-Trump propaganda.

4977
02:50:49,410 --> 02:50:51,710
I mean, there was one piece on the

4978
02:50:51,710 --> 02:50:55,030
Voice of America website that was just nothing

4979
02:50:55,030 --> 02:50:58,630
more than condemning Trump's whole approach to terrorists.

4980
02:50:58,910 --> 02:51:01,490
I thought the offices were emptied out.

4981
02:51:01,710 --> 02:51:02,890
There's still people posting.

4982
02:51:02,910 --> 02:51:04,970
No, the offices are empty, but the website's

4983
02:51:04,970 --> 02:51:05,970
still there, still up.

4984
02:51:06,510 --> 02:51:08,750
And yeah, I couldn't get any recording.

4985
02:51:08,850 --> 02:51:09,990
That's why I didn't bring it into the

4986
02:51:09,990 --> 02:51:11,950
show, because I couldn't get any new recordings

4987
02:51:11,950 --> 02:51:14,870
because they stopped going out on the air

4988
02:51:14,870 --> 02:51:15,490
with anything.

4989
02:51:15,630 --> 02:51:17,250
But they still had it on the website.

4990
02:51:17,370 --> 02:51:18,630
You could tell what they were doing.

4991
02:51:18,870 --> 02:51:18,970
Yeah.

4992
02:51:19,130 --> 02:51:23,230
And yeah, it's anti-Republican propaganda operation.

4993
02:51:23,450 --> 02:51:26,650
It shouldn't be getting American money, but taxpayer

4994
02:51:26,650 --> 02:51:27,610
money, I should say.

4995
02:51:28,030 --> 02:51:29,270
All right, it's part two of this.

4996
02:51:29,270 --> 02:51:30,150
There's more to this?

4997
02:51:30,250 --> 02:51:32,170
Oh my, how much more can they do?

4998
02:51:32,170 --> 02:51:35,530
Last year, President Biden's doctors chose not to

4999
02:51:35,530 --> 02:51:38,490
give him a cognitive exam, something Press Secretary

5000
02:51:38,490 --> 02:51:41,830
Karine Jean-Pierre was forced to defend repeatedly.

5001
02:51:42,230 --> 02:51:44,350
The president himself, he said it today.

5002
02:51:44,510 --> 02:51:45,970
He said it multiple times.

5003
02:51:46,730 --> 02:51:48,010
And the doctor has said this.

5004
02:51:48,390 --> 02:51:50,210
Everything that he does day in and day

5005
02:51:50,210 --> 02:51:51,750
out as it relates to delivering for the

5006
02:51:51,750 --> 02:51:53,570
American people is a cognitive test.

5007
02:51:53,890 --> 02:51:56,130
Even after Biden dropped out of the race,

5008
02:51:56,310 --> 02:51:59,210
Trump leaned in on cognitive testing as a

5009
02:51:59,210 --> 02:52:00,110
campaign issue.

5010
02:52:00,110 --> 02:52:02,970
We should have cognitive tests for anybody that

5011
02:52:02,970 --> 02:52:06,510
runs for president and vice president.

5012
02:52:07,090 --> 02:52:09,530
Trump has been known to jumble words and

5013
02:52:09,530 --> 02:52:12,350
during the campaign wobbled like he might fall

5014
02:52:12,350 --> 02:52:14,070
when getting into a garbage truck.

5015
02:52:14,630 --> 02:52:17,190
And he is acutely aware that some have

5016
02:52:17,190 --> 02:52:18,870
raised questions about his fitness.

5017
02:52:19,450 --> 02:52:21,110
Take this from a rally in October.

5018
02:52:21,550 --> 02:52:22,910
I'll be a little thing and I'll say

5019
02:52:22,910 --> 02:52:27,070
something a little bit like, I'll say, they'll

5020
02:52:27,070 --> 02:52:29,010
say he's cognitively impaired.

5021
02:52:30,310 --> 02:52:32,050
No, I'll let you know what I will

5022
02:52:32,050 --> 02:52:32,230
be.

5023
02:52:32,290 --> 02:52:33,210
I will be someday.

5024
02:52:33,350 --> 02:52:35,350
We all will be someday, but I'll be

5025
02:52:35,350 --> 02:52:36,530
the first to let you know.

5026
02:52:37,030 --> 02:52:39,390
SJ Olshansky is a professor of public health

5027
02:52:39,390 --> 02:52:41,750
at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who

5028
02:52:41,750 --> 02:52:43,590
has studied the health of presidents.

5029
02:52:44,190 --> 02:52:47,010
He says there are many armchair neurologists, but

5030
02:52:47,010 --> 02:52:49,550
a president's doctor is the only one who

5031
02:52:49,550 --> 02:52:52,130
truly has all the necessary context.

5032
02:52:52,330 --> 02:52:54,590
But keep in mind, medical records are private.

5033
02:52:55,150 --> 02:52:57,550
Presidents do not have to reveal their medical

5034
02:52:57,550 --> 02:52:58,110
records.

5035
02:52:58,390 --> 02:53:00,390
And in fact, there is a long history

5036
02:53:00,390 --> 02:53:02,970
of presidents concealing their health challenges.

5037
02:53:03,630 --> 02:53:05,730
Jeff Cullman was a physician in the Clinton,

5038
02:53:06,070 --> 02:53:07,650
Bush and Obama White Houses.

5039
02:53:08,210 --> 02:53:10,510
He points to what happened when President Woodrow

5040
02:53:10,510 --> 02:53:12,030
Wilson had a stroke.

5041
02:53:12,350 --> 02:53:15,450
His second wife and his physician, a young

5042
02:53:15,450 --> 02:53:18,650
Navy doctor, they covered up for him for

5043
02:53:18,650 --> 02:53:21,970
several months and they were not truthful with

5044
02:53:21,970 --> 02:53:22,950
the American people.

5045
02:53:22,950 --> 02:53:26,030
Cullman says there's no requirement for a presidential

5046
02:53:26,030 --> 02:53:29,090
physical, but the public and media expect them

5047
02:53:29,090 --> 02:53:29,450
now.

5048
02:53:29,750 --> 02:53:32,350
To me, the purpose of the physical for

5049
02:53:32,350 --> 02:53:35,970
the president is to give him honest feedback

5050
02:53:36,550 --> 02:53:39,850
about here's how your heart's doing, here's how

5051
02:53:39,850 --> 02:53:41,110
your brain function's doing.

5052
02:53:41,490 --> 02:53:44,150
Whether that honest feedback is also shared with

5053
02:53:44,150 --> 02:53:46,750
the public is another question entirely.

5054
02:53:48,070 --> 02:53:50,890
Yeah, the rotation's in play.

5055
02:53:50,970 --> 02:53:52,090
Where is our rotation?

5056
02:53:52,090 --> 02:53:54,510
We should do the Trump rotation.

5057
02:53:54,710 --> 02:53:55,610
It's online somewhere.

5058
02:53:55,710 --> 02:53:56,230
No, we have it.

5059
02:53:56,270 --> 02:53:57,250
We have the...

5060
02:53:57,250 --> 02:53:57,650
Here we go.

5061
02:53:57,690 --> 02:53:58,450
Trump rotation.

5062
02:53:58,650 --> 02:53:58,990
Here it is.

5063
02:53:59,130 --> 02:54:00,730
I have my list and you might want

5064
02:54:00,730 --> 02:54:02,070
to see if there's anything I left out.

5065
02:54:02,190 --> 02:54:04,150
This is the Trump rotation and there's two

5066
02:54:04,150 --> 02:54:04,650
categories.

5067
02:54:04,850 --> 02:54:06,350
There's the regular and then there's the criminal.

5068
02:54:06,610 --> 02:54:07,210
But here we go.

5069
02:54:07,290 --> 02:54:07,390
Ready?

5070
02:54:07,830 --> 02:54:08,010
Yeah.

5071
02:54:08,970 --> 02:54:13,910
Liar, incompetent, unhinged, illegitimate president, white supremacist, racist,

5072
02:54:14,290 --> 02:54:19,890
bully, immature, Russian agent, narcissist, mean, long ties,

5073
02:54:20,250 --> 02:54:23,970
insane, tweets too much, small hands, small penis,

5074
02:54:24,150 --> 02:54:30,430
big red butt, criminal, mean, racist, immature, thin

5075
02:54:30,430 --> 02:54:34,690
skin, runs the mob, has no money, unstable,

5076
02:54:35,030 --> 02:54:39,810
fatter than 239 pounds, bankrupt, 25th amendment should

5077
02:54:39,810 --> 02:54:43,930
be instituted, he hates women, misogynist, holds grudges

5078
02:54:43,930 --> 02:54:47,550
forever, plays golf a lot, obstruction of justice,

5079
02:54:47,810 --> 02:54:49,910
money laundering, and clown.

5080
02:54:50,830 --> 02:54:51,310
John.

5081
02:54:52,330 --> 02:54:53,150
There we go.

5082
02:54:53,510 --> 02:54:55,790
No wonder we're making America white again.

5083
02:54:56,470 --> 02:54:56,990
There you go.

5084
02:54:57,410 --> 02:54:58,710
That's the Trump rotation.

5085
02:54:59,310 --> 02:55:01,090
The one clip I've been looking at all

5086
02:55:01,090 --> 02:55:02,410
show and I've been waiting for you to

5087
02:55:02,410 --> 02:55:03,510
play it, and that could be our last

5088
02:55:03,510 --> 02:55:06,370
one, is the vacuum phone NPR that just

5089
02:55:06,370 --> 02:55:07,630
looks so enticing to me.

5090
02:55:08,030 --> 02:55:08,970
Yeah, this was a good clip.

5091
02:55:09,190 --> 02:55:12,110
This would have been a good follow-up

5092
02:55:12,110 --> 02:55:15,850
for my phone material, but this was a

5093
02:55:15,850 --> 02:55:16,670
new idea.

5094
02:55:16,670 --> 02:55:22,890
This also refers back to Tucker Carlson's vapidity,

5095
02:55:23,170 --> 02:55:25,490
vapidness of the CEO class.

5096
02:55:26,370 --> 02:55:28,930
And this is just an eye-roller of

5097
02:55:28,930 --> 02:55:31,470
a clip about what Samsung thinks might sell

5098
02:55:31,470 --> 02:55:31,850
here.

5099
02:55:32,290 --> 02:55:34,750
Samsung has a new vacuum with an unexpected

5100
02:55:34,750 --> 02:55:35,430
feature.

5101
02:55:35,810 --> 02:55:37,770
It can alert you to incoming calls and

5102
02:55:37,770 --> 02:55:38,150
texts.

5103
02:55:38,670 --> 02:55:40,730
The company's new washer and dryer can also

5104
02:55:40,730 --> 02:55:41,630
make phone calls.

5105
02:55:41,630 --> 02:55:43,930
The appliances are part of a new AI

5106
02:55:43,930 --> 02:55:46,730
product line, and Samsung isn't alone.

5107
02:55:47,190 --> 02:55:50,210
LG, GE, and others are also pushing AI

5108
02:55:50,210 --> 02:55:51,350
in their home devices.

5109
02:55:51,870 --> 02:55:54,370
But do consumers want AI in a vacuum

5110
02:55:54,370 --> 02:55:54,750
cleaner?

5111
02:55:55,310 --> 02:55:58,210
Online reviews have been skeptical, suggesting the features

5112
02:55:58,210 --> 02:56:01,230
aren't worth the premium price, and only 15

5113
02:56:01,230 --> 02:56:03,910
% of households own a smart, large appliance.

5114
02:56:04,550 --> 02:56:06,790
Some experts say companies are just throwing out

5115
02:56:06,790 --> 02:56:08,250
ideas to see what works.

5116
02:56:08,390 --> 02:56:09,770
That is so true.

5117
02:56:10,610 --> 02:56:12,430
We went looking for a new...

5118
02:56:12,430 --> 02:56:15,790
Tina's always hated this refrigerator that came with

5119
02:56:15,790 --> 02:56:17,670
the house, and we went looking for one

5120
02:56:17,670 --> 02:56:18,210
at Costco.

5121
02:56:19,210 --> 02:56:22,190
It's almost impossible to buy a refrigerator that

5122
02:56:22,190 --> 02:56:24,950
isn't a smart fridge, that doesn't have a

5123
02:56:24,950 --> 02:56:29,650
screen, that isn't connected to some system, and

5124
02:56:29,650 --> 02:56:32,670
that gives you recipes and great tips.

5125
02:56:33,870 --> 02:56:37,190
I mean, you're right, they're just throwing ideas

5126
02:56:37,190 --> 02:56:37,770
at the wall.

5127
02:56:38,390 --> 02:56:39,930
More stuff we don't need.

5128
02:56:41,960 --> 02:56:43,560
I want stuff that works.

5129
02:56:43,740 --> 02:56:44,580
There you go.

5130
02:56:57,520 --> 02:56:59,720
We do have a number of producers to

5131
02:56:59,720 --> 02:57:01,040
thank, $50 and above.

5132
02:57:01,200 --> 02:57:03,580
We love the producers who support us monetarily.

5133
02:57:03,720 --> 02:57:06,240
It is time, talent, and treasure for our

5134
02:57:06,240 --> 02:57:07,200
value for value model.

5135
02:57:07,200 --> 02:57:10,760
Also, John's very valued tip of the day

5136
02:57:10,760 --> 02:57:12,520
is coming up, and to show mixes, and

5137
02:57:12,520 --> 02:57:14,320
we have some meetup reports, including the meetup

5138
02:57:14,320 --> 02:57:16,520
report from your birthday extravaganza.

5139
02:57:16,760 --> 02:57:18,760
So, take it away, John.

5140
02:57:19,140 --> 02:57:20,260
Yeah, let's start with Beth.

5141
02:57:20,780 --> 02:57:21,280
Okay.

5142
02:57:21,380 --> 02:57:22,620
Beth Elliott, she's at the top of the

5143
02:57:22,620 --> 02:57:22,940
list.

5144
02:57:23,440 --> 02:57:27,140
Corryton, Tennessee, 13369.

5145
02:57:27,900 --> 02:57:32,120
Stephan, uh, Trockels, Trockels in Sust?

5146
02:57:32,600 --> 02:57:33,000
Sust.

5147
02:57:33,840 --> 02:57:34,240
Sust.

5148
02:57:35,380 --> 02:57:36,180
Sust is not...

5149
02:57:36,180 --> 02:57:36,880
13324.

5150
02:57:37,200 --> 02:57:38,300
Sust is not Deutschland.

5151
02:57:39,120 --> 02:57:40,220
Sust is the Netherlands.

5152
02:57:40,780 --> 02:57:42,080
No, it says Deutschland here.

5153
02:57:42,300 --> 02:57:43,580
That doesn't seem right.

5154
02:57:44,620 --> 02:57:46,920
Trockels sounds Dutch, or Dutch, and it sounds

5155
02:57:46,920 --> 02:57:47,360
Deutsch.

5156
02:57:48,720 --> 02:57:49,460
Just saying.

5157
02:57:49,540 --> 02:57:50,760
Well, Christopher, whatever.

5158
02:57:51,300 --> 02:57:52,020
There could be a...

5159
02:57:52,020 --> 02:57:53,440
I mean, look how many Albanies there are

5160
02:57:53,440 --> 02:57:54,220
in the United States.

5161
02:57:55,620 --> 02:57:59,080
Christopher Ebert in Spartanburg, South Carolina, 10535.

5162
02:57:59,860 --> 02:58:06,160
Scott Merrill in Calabasas, California, 9176.

5163
02:58:08,260 --> 02:58:14,360
Uh, Patrick Stasiak in Saginaw, Michigan, 8810.

5164
02:58:15,000 --> 02:58:19,680
It's actually Patrick Stasiak, Stasiak.

5165
02:58:19,960 --> 02:58:20,280
Okay.

5166
02:58:21,100 --> 02:58:23,240
Uh, and this is 8810.

5167
02:58:23,320 --> 02:58:27,680
This is double nipples on the dime, brother.

5168
02:58:28,320 --> 02:58:28,420
Okay.

5169
02:58:29,300 --> 02:58:31,380
Well, it's better than...

5170
02:58:31,380 --> 02:58:31,620
Okay.

5171
02:58:32,300 --> 02:58:35,860
Kevin McLaughlin's was just a straight 8008 boobs

5172
02:58:35,860 --> 02:58:36,340
donation.

5173
02:58:36,340 --> 02:58:38,360
He's the Archduke of Luna, lover of America,

5174
02:58:38,520 --> 02:58:39,980
lover of boobs.

5175
02:58:41,100 --> 02:58:44,220
Eric Mintz in Allegan, Allegian.

5176
02:58:44,640 --> 02:58:47,240
Allegan or Allegian, one of the two, 8008,

5177
02:58:47,380 --> 02:58:47,680
Michigan.

5178
02:58:48,200 --> 02:58:49,640
Thank you for your courage and all your

5179
02:58:49,640 --> 02:58:50,320
hard work.

5180
02:58:50,420 --> 02:58:51,180
Four more years.

5181
02:58:51,400 --> 02:58:51,680
Yes.

5182
02:58:52,860 --> 02:58:56,080
Black Knight Laurie, L-A-U-R-I,

5183
02:58:56,240 --> 02:58:58,360
in Helsinki, Florida, Florida.

5184
02:58:58,580 --> 02:59:01,720
Helsinki, Finland, 76...

5185
02:59:01,720 --> 02:59:03,060
We haven't heard from him in a long

5186
02:59:03,060 --> 02:59:03,440
time.

5187
02:59:04,100 --> 02:59:05,800
No, 7643.

5188
02:59:06,580 --> 02:59:08,880
He is a Black Knight.

5189
02:59:09,100 --> 02:59:10,500
Black Knight from Helsinki.

5190
02:59:10,640 --> 02:59:11,120
That's right.

5191
02:59:11,300 --> 02:59:11,840
Interesting.

5192
02:59:12,160 --> 02:59:12,800
Welcome back.

5193
02:59:12,900 --> 02:59:13,940
Welcome back, Black Knight.

5194
02:59:14,900 --> 02:59:18,040
John Speer, Yardley, Pennsylvania, 7643.

5195
02:59:18,560 --> 02:59:19,480
No longer a douchebag.

5196
02:59:19,540 --> 02:59:20,320
Give him a de-douching.

5197
02:59:22,520 --> 02:59:24,200
You've been de-douched.

5198
02:59:25,140 --> 02:59:27,100
He shares the April 5th birthday.

5199
02:59:27,360 --> 02:59:27,880
Good for him.

5200
02:59:28,640 --> 02:59:33,520
Uh, Johnny Shogun in South Golden Beach, Australia.

5201
02:59:33,520 --> 02:59:36,800
Another happy birthday called 7643.

5202
02:59:40,130 --> 02:59:46,830
Syrant, Syrant, Syrant in Arlington, Washington, 7643.

5203
02:59:46,910 --> 02:59:48,690
There's another happy birthday fellow, Boomer.

5204
02:59:49,670 --> 02:59:51,650
We need a Boomer donation, so see how

5205
02:59:51,650 --> 02:59:53,430
many Boomers support the show.

5206
02:59:54,230 --> 02:59:54,390
Yeah.

5207
02:59:54,730 --> 02:59:58,590
Maybe 6446 to represent Born Before 64, but

5208
02:59:58,590 --> 02:59:59,830
not before 46.

5209
03:00:00,830 --> 03:00:01,390
Yes.

5210
03:00:01,990 --> 03:00:03,070
I'm liking that one.

5211
03:00:03,630 --> 03:00:05,950
I'm sure Adam would argue the date range.

5212
03:00:06,170 --> 03:00:08,150
No, I would not because I was born

5213
03:00:08,150 --> 03:00:10,450
in 64, so I'm all in on this

5214
03:00:10,450 --> 03:00:11,150
date range.

5215
03:00:12,270 --> 03:00:13,770
64 is the cutoff.

5216
03:00:13,990 --> 03:00:15,770
But it says Born Before 64.

5217
03:00:16,570 --> 03:00:16,670
Yeah.

5218
03:00:16,910 --> 03:00:18,070
I like 6446.

5219
03:00:18,070 --> 03:00:18,850
I think that's great.

5220
03:00:18,970 --> 03:00:20,830
I think the Boomer donation is on.

5221
03:00:20,970 --> 03:00:21,910
Is Boomer donation is go?

5222
03:00:21,910 --> 03:00:22,950

03:00:22,990 --> 03:00:23,450
It's go.

5224
03:00:23,650 --> 03:00:24,490

Okay, Boomer.

5243
03:01:01,450 --> 03:01:02,610
You got to be a Boomer if you're

03:01:02,610 --> 03:01:03,150

5245
03:01:03,310 --> 03:01:03,670

He's up in Westminster, Colorado.

03:05:19,910 --> 03:05:20,670
Hold on, let me read this.

5362
03:05:20,790 --> 03:05:21,850
He's got a long note.

5363
03:05:21,850 --> 03:05:24,970
This is not Gerald, but Grand Wazoo.

5364
03:05:25,130 --> 03:05:26,130
He says, in the morning...

5365
03:05:26,130 --> 03:05:27,290
I said Gerald.

5366
03:05:27,490 --> 03:05:27,990
Yes, you did.

5367
03:05:28,970 --> 03:05:29,770
Grand Wazoo.

5368
03:05:30,370 --> 03:05:31,850
In the morning, John, I just want to

5369
03:05:31,850 --> 03:05:33,390
thank you for mentioning the light phone.

5370
03:05:33,510 --> 03:05:35,570
There it is on episode 1753.

5371
03:05:35,710 --> 03:05:37,470
My son is 12 and biking to and

5372
03:05:37,470 --> 03:05:39,070
from school three and a half miles away.

5373
03:05:39,170 --> 03:05:39,870
No big deal.

5374
03:05:39,930 --> 03:05:41,810
But in today's world, I'd like a more

5375
03:05:41,810 --> 03:05:44,350
reliable communication source with him other than the

5376
03:05:44,350 --> 03:05:46,670
walkie-talkies, which have gotten us this far.

5377
03:05:46,990 --> 03:05:48,210
Three and a half miles is quite a

5378
03:05:48,210 --> 03:05:48,450
distance.

5379
03:05:48,550 --> 03:05:49,570
We're all on the same page.

5380
03:05:49,830 --> 03:05:51,350
The light phone seems to be perfect.

5381
03:05:51,350 --> 03:05:54,070
Offering all he needs and eliminating everything I

5382
03:05:54,070 --> 03:05:54,670
despise.

5383
03:05:54,770 --> 03:05:56,470
You guys really are an invaluable resource.

5384
03:05:56,570 --> 03:05:57,750
No exit strategy for you.

5385
03:05:57,890 --> 03:05:58,350
Much love.

5386
03:05:58,510 --> 03:05:59,110
Grand Wazoo.

5387
03:05:59,350 --> 03:05:59,690
That's right.

5388
03:05:59,790 --> 03:06:00,430
The light phone three.

5389
03:06:00,630 --> 03:06:01,630
That's the one you want.

5390
03:06:01,850 --> 03:06:02,010
Yep.

5391
03:06:02,270 --> 03:06:05,070
Stephen Schumach in Zinnia, Ohio.

5392
03:06:05,250 --> 03:06:05,610
Dame.

5393
03:06:05,830 --> 03:06:06,590
Code Red.

5394
03:06:06,710 --> 03:06:08,930
Code Red in Huntsville, Arkansas.

5395
03:06:12,230 --> 03:06:15,830
David Asari in West Hollywood, California.

5396
03:06:15,830 --> 03:06:18,810
And last on our list is good old

5397
03:06:18,810 --> 03:06:19,310
Jason.

5398
03:06:19,450 --> 03:06:22,470
Sir Jason Deluzio in Miami Beach, Florida.

5399
03:06:22,690 --> 03:06:23,850
I want to thank these people for making

5400
03:06:23,850 --> 03:06:27,850
show 1754 the good show that it became.

5401
03:06:27,970 --> 03:06:28,410
Indeed.

5402
03:06:28,650 --> 03:06:30,630
And we appreciate everybody who came in under

5403
03:06:30,630 --> 03:06:30,970
$50.

5404
03:06:31,370 --> 03:06:33,050
We never read names there for reasons of

5405
03:06:33,050 --> 03:06:33,550
anonymity.

5406
03:06:33,630 --> 03:06:34,590
People still like that.

5407
03:06:34,870 --> 03:06:36,710
And also, we have those recurring donations.

5408
03:06:36,870 --> 03:06:39,090
Go to noagendadonations.com.

5409
03:06:39,190 --> 03:06:39,690
You can fill out.

5410
03:06:39,870 --> 03:06:42,770
I like that these numbers, the numerology is

5411
03:06:42,770 --> 03:06:44,470
coming back with the Boomer donation.

5412
03:06:45,090 --> 03:06:46,290
And that was the other one.

5413
03:06:46,430 --> 03:06:47,850
The 6161.

5414
03:06:47,990 --> 03:06:48,510
What was that?

5415
03:06:50,310 --> 03:06:51,010
Hold on a second.

5416
03:06:51,110 --> 03:06:51,490
What was it?

5417
03:06:51,690 --> 03:06:51,990
61.

5418
03:06:52,330 --> 03:06:53,810
Oh, on Gigi.

5419
03:06:55,530 --> 03:06:57,150
We used to do a lot more of

5420
03:06:57,150 --> 03:06:57,290
this.

5421
03:06:57,370 --> 03:06:59,290
So bring back those numerology donations.

5422
03:06:59,430 --> 03:06:59,930
We love them.

5423
03:06:59,990 --> 03:07:01,250
We love trying to figure them out.

5424
03:07:01,670 --> 03:07:04,270
And again, the sustaining donations, any amount, any

5425
03:07:04,270 --> 03:07:04,790
frequency.

5426
03:07:04,790 --> 03:07:05,690
It's all up to you.

5427
03:07:05,750 --> 03:07:06,690
It is value for value.

5428
03:07:06,830 --> 03:07:10,990
Go to noagendadonations.com.

5429
03:07:14,610 --> 03:07:16,450
I'm so much happier.

5430
03:07:16,690 --> 03:07:18,970
John Speer celebrated on April 5th.

5431
03:07:18,990 --> 03:07:19,770
Darth Penguin.

5432
03:07:20,050 --> 03:07:22,350
Happy birthday, he says, to totally not serial

5433
03:07:22,350 --> 03:07:23,070
killer Kate.

5434
03:07:23,470 --> 03:07:24,870
Dame Astrid, as we heard earlier.

5435
03:07:25,010 --> 03:07:26,990
Happy birthday to Sir Mark Jeff Gibbs.

5436
03:07:27,270 --> 03:07:29,050
Happy birthday to his brother, Rick Gibbs.

5437
03:07:29,230 --> 03:07:31,490
And John Bye, as in B-Y-E,

5438
03:07:31,550 --> 03:07:33,690
Bye Bye, is 56 today.

5439
03:07:33,830 --> 03:07:35,330
Happy birthday to all of you from the

5440
03:07:35,330 --> 03:07:37,030
best podcast in the universe.

5441
03:07:38,810 --> 03:07:41,430
So we have no knights, no dames, no

5442
03:07:41,430 --> 03:07:42,130
title changes.

5443
03:07:42,130 --> 03:07:43,590
But we do have one Commodore.

5444
03:07:43,590 --> 03:07:45,450
We are very proud to welcome our brand

5445
03:07:45,450 --> 03:07:46,110
new Commodore.

5446
03:07:46,310 --> 03:07:48,710
Do we say Commodore Center Light?

5447
03:07:49,390 --> 03:07:49,790
Congratulations.

5448
03:07:50,730 --> 03:07:51,530
Commodore arriving.

5449
03:07:52,630 --> 03:07:55,270
Go to noagenderings.com, brand new Commodore.

5450
03:07:55,450 --> 03:07:56,630
And let us know what name you want

5451
03:07:56,630 --> 03:07:57,290
on your certificate.

5452
03:07:57,710 --> 03:07:58,690
It is a beautiful piece.

5453
03:07:58,770 --> 03:07:59,670
It's suitable for hanging.

5454
03:07:59,850 --> 03:08:01,990
It is a beautiful title that you will

5455
03:08:01,990 --> 03:08:02,510
like to have.

5456
03:08:02,570 --> 03:08:03,810
And give us an address where to send

5457
03:08:03,810 --> 03:08:04,230
it to.

5458
03:08:05,210 --> 03:08:05,610
Commodoreship.

5459
03:08:05,810 --> 03:08:07,610
And we thank you for your courage.

5460
03:08:07,750 --> 03:08:09,050
Now let's take a look at those meetups.

5461
03:08:16,210 --> 03:08:18,490
All right, two full-on meetup reports.

5462
03:08:18,650 --> 03:08:20,650
The first one is from the John C.

5463
03:08:20,730 --> 03:08:23,050
Dvorak birthday bash extravaganza.

5464
03:08:23,970 --> 03:08:24,390
Oh, yeah.

5465
03:08:24,750 --> 03:08:27,010
They went all crazy and started editing it.

5466
03:08:27,070 --> 03:08:28,810
So here is the report for you.

5467
03:08:30,070 --> 03:08:32,230
This is Sir Rick Halstead and Crazy Steve

5468
03:08:32,230 --> 03:08:32,570
II.

5469
03:08:32,630 --> 03:08:35,950
We're here at John's B-Day birthday extravaganza.

5470
03:08:36,070 --> 03:08:37,790
And we're about to sing him happy birthday.

5471
03:08:37,790 --> 03:08:41,150
Happy birthday to you.

5472
03:08:42,350 --> 03:08:44,990
Happy birthday to you.

5473
03:08:46,030 --> 03:08:49,170
Happy birthday, dear John.

5474
03:08:53,330 --> 03:08:55,510
What'd you wish for, John?

5475
03:08:55,630 --> 03:08:56,990
That you wouldn't have sung this song.

5476
03:09:01,450 --> 03:09:04,610
Wow, that sounds like a rowdy bunch over

5477
03:09:04,610 --> 03:09:06,610
there at the birthday bash.

5478
03:09:07,470 --> 03:09:09,990
Almost as rowdy as the kids in New

5479
03:09:09,990 --> 03:09:10,670
York City.

5480
03:09:10,850 --> 03:09:12,070
What a hootenanny they have.

5481
03:09:12,150 --> 03:09:14,710
In the morning, winter has come and gone,

5482
03:09:14,790 --> 03:09:15,710
and spring has sprung.

5483
03:09:16,090 --> 03:09:17,890
This is Dan Franco, host of the Manhattan

5484
03:09:17,890 --> 03:09:20,030
No Agenda Meetup at the Perfect Pint West.

5485
03:09:20,510 --> 03:09:22,570
Thursday, April 3rd, 2025.

5486
03:09:23,030 --> 03:09:25,530
There are eight producers here, three of which

5487
03:09:25,530 --> 03:09:26,070
are sirs.

5488
03:09:26,670 --> 03:09:28,970
Again, thank you all for attending the meetup.

5489
03:09:29,230 --> 03:09:32,530
Hey, this is Sir Spoonmaker from the Manhattan

5490
03:09:32,530 --> 03:09:33,130
Meetup.

5491
03:09:33,190 --> 03:09:34,470
Connection is protection.

5492
03:09:34,830 --> 03:09:36,290
Train's good, plane's bad.

5493
03:09:36,890 --> 03:09:37,310
Woohoo!

5494
03:09:37,570 --> 03:09:39,430
In the morning, here from New York City.

5495
03:09:39,630 --> 03:09:40,250
Sir Chancey.

5496
03:09:40,410 --> 03:09:42,750
Hey, in the morning, it's Sir Michael Anthony,

5497
03:09:42,890 --> 03:09:44,290
also known as the mayor.

5498
03:09:44,650 --> 03:09:46,590
You know, by the way, y'all heard,

5499
03:09:46,710 --> 03:09:47,570
I'm off the hook.

5500
03:09:48,210 --> 03:09:49,450
But y'all knew that already.

5501
03:09:50,010 --> 03:09:51,390
Hey, it's MK Ultramark.

5502
03:09:51,570 --> 03:09:54,610
I'm enjoying the meetup tonight with all the

5503
03:09:54,610 --> 03:09:55,090
boys.

5504
03:09:55,270 --> 03:09:56,410
We're having a good time.

5505
03:09:56,590 --> 03:09:58,810
And shout out to all the slaves and

5506
03:09:58,810 --> 03:09:59,830
the trolls out there.

5507
03:09:59,970 --> 03:10:01,510
Love you, Adam and John C.

5508
03:10:01,670 --> 03:10:03,030
Hello, this is Dan Pagam.

5509
03:10:03,310 --> 03:10:05,130
My pronouns are I-T-M.

5510
03:10:05,130 --> 03:10:06,550
I'm in the heart of New York City

5511
03:10:06,550 --> 03:10:08,970
with beautiful meetup folks, and there may or

5512
03:10:08,970 --> 03:10:10,270
may not be DMT here.

5513
03:10:10,490 --> 03:10:13,710
Hey, hear the Caribbean guy telling everybody to

5514
03:10:13,710 --> 03:10:16,470
do the thing that enlightens them into a

5515
03:10:16,470 --> 03:10:17,630
greater state of being.

5516
03:10:19,810 --> 03:10:20,330
DMT.

5517
03:10:20,650 --> 03:10:23,110
This is Jen, and I'm at the meetup

5518
03:10:23,110 --> 03:10:25,690
at the perfect height in New York City,

5519
03:10:25,850 --> 03:10:27,830
having a great time with the No Agenda

5520
03:10:27,830 --> 03:10:28,310
folks.

5521
03:10:28,570 --> 03:10:32,030
My name's Connor from Wicklow, Ireland, and I'm

5522
03:10:32,030 --> 03:10:34,850
serving the No Agenda show, and they're being

5523
03:10:34,850 --> 03:10:37,930
great tippers tonight in Wharton.

5524
03:10:38,430 --> 03:10:42,870
Ah, love it.

5525
03:10:42,910 --> 03:10:45,270
You got your server in there, clearly operating

5526
03:10:45,270 --> 03:10:47,390
illegally in the country, but that's okay.

5527
03:10:47,770 --> 03:10:49,430
And it sounds like there were some drugs

5528
03:10:49,430 --> 03:10:50,870
at that particular meetup.

5529
03:10:50,930 --> 03:10:53,330
We do not necessarily condone that here at

5530
03:10:53,330 --> 03:10:55,370
the No Agenda show, but connection is protection.

5531
03:10:55,490 --> 03:10:55,990
That's true.

5532
03:10:56,290 --> 03:10:57,770
You get it whenever you go to a

5533
03:10:57,770 --> 03:10:59,710
No Agenda meetup, and you can go to

5534
03:10:59,710 --> 03:11:03,210
the Outer Swamp meetup right now, actually, at

5535
03:11:03,210 --> 03:11:07,050
the Dogfish Head Ale House in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

5536
03:11:07,190 --> 03:11:09,130
I think that's a new location, so hopefully

5537
03:11:09,130 --> 03:11:10,430
everybody got notified in time.

5538
03:11:10,770 --> 03:11:15,030

03:11:53,970 --> 03:11:56,310
We have the 14th Northwest Houston No Agenda

03:11:56,310 --> 03:11:58,270
Meetup, seven o'clock at Wakefield Crow Bar

5557
03:11:58,270 --> 03:11:59,170
in Houston, Texas.

03:12:00,130 --> 03:12:02,890
Your Sir Economic Hitman organizing that for you.

5559
03:12:02,990 --> 03:12:04,170
And on the next show day, a couple

5560
03:12:04,170 --> 03:12:04,610

That's always 100 people there at Indianapolis, Indiana.

5567
03:12:19,690 --> 03:12:22,050
That's Mark and Maria of the Greenwood who

5568
03:12:22,050 --> 03:12:22,670
are hosting that.

5569
03:12:22,730 --> 03:12:25,570
And finally, the TooManyEggs.com Keen New Hampshire

5570
03:12:25,570 --> 03:12:25,950
Meetup.

5571
03:12:25,950 --> 03:12:29,210
It's their 11th gathering, 3.33 at Margarita's

5572
03:12:29,210 --> 03:12:31,770
Mexican Restaurant in Keen, New Hampshire.

5573
03:12:31,950 --> 03:12:33,950
Just a sampling of the meetups that are

5574
03:12:33,950 --> 03:12:35,950
taking place all around Gitmo Nation.

5575
03:12:36,410 --> 03:12:38,350
They are taking place all around the world.

5576
03:12:38,470 --> 03:12:40,230
You can go to noagendameetups.com.

5577
03:12:40,410 --> 03:12:41,830
You can list your meetup there.

5578
03:12:41,890 --> 03:12:42,650
You can find them.

5579
03:12:42,690 --> 03:12:43,790
You can find them by calendar.

5580
03:12:43,910 --> 03:12:44,930
You can find them by name.

5581
03:12:45,090 --> 03:12:45,890
Just look at the list.

5582
03:12:45,970 --> 03:12:46,730
It's a long one.

5583
03:12:47,090 --> 03:12:48,710
And as always, if you can't find one

5584
03:12:48,710 --> 03:12:50,110
near you, start one yourself.

5585
03:12:50,170 --> 03:12:50,690
It's easy.

5586
03:12:51,730 --> 03:12:52,450
noagendameetups.com.

5587
03:13:12,050 --> 03:13:13,610
It's always like a party.

5588
03:13:13,710 --> 03:13:14,970
That's what's so great about it.

5589
03:13:15,070 --> 03:13:16,490
It's always like a party.

5590
03:13:16,570 --> 03:13:17,410
It's always like a party.

5591
03:13:17,470 --> 03:13:19,050
There's going to be another Fredericksburg meetup, I

5592
03:13:19,050 --> 03:13:19,610
think, in May.

5593
03:13:19,710 --> 03:13:20,210
I'm excited.

5594
03:13:20,210 --> 03:13:23,250
Another one hanging out here at the 1776.

5595
03:13:23,250 --> 03:13:25,950
Where Kelsen and Steve wants to bring one

5596
03:13:25,950 --> 03:13:26,110
there.

5597
03:13:26,530 --> 03:13:30,330
Well, there's Matt Long and his beautiful wife,

5598
03:13:30,450 --> 03:13:30,610
Gail.

5599
03:13:30,690 --> 03:13:32,070
They're going to do it with Jenny over

5600
03:13:32,070 --> 03:13:33,310
there at 1776.

5601
03:13:33,510 --> 03:13:34,730
Again, all the J6ers.

5602
03:13:34,730 --> 03:13:36,430
So maybe make it, yeah.

5603
03:13:36,690 --> 03:13:37,810
All the J6ers hang out there.

5604
03:13:37,830 --> 03:13:38,710
I got nothing to do with it.

5605
03:13:41,130 --> 03:13:42,770
Okay, well, here we go.

5606
03:13:42,910 --> 03:13:44,470
This is the moment that we all dread.

5607
03:13:44,470 --> 03:13:44,790
Here we go.

5608
03:13:44,910 --> 03:13:46,270
Here's where you get depressed.

5609
03:13:46,590 --> 03:13:47,270
I do.

5610
03:13:47,430 --> 03:13:48,170
I get very depressed.

5611
03:13:48,170 --> 03:13:49,050
More of the AI.

5612
03:13:49,510 --> 03:13:51,390
Yeah, more of your AI nonsense.

5613
03:13:51,770 --> 03:13:56,770
I have two ISOs.

5614
03:13:56,830 --> 03:13:58,950
They're real ISOs, not fake like John's.

5615
03:13:58,970 --> 03:13:59,550
Here's the first one.

5616
03:13:59,550 --> 03:14:00,190
I have a real one.

5617
03:14:00,370 --> 03:14:01,510
Here's my first one.

5618
03:14:01,990 --> 03:14:03,390
I just have one word for this.

5619
03:14:03,970 --> 03:14:04,370
Perfect.

5620
03:14:05,970 --> 03:14:06,150
Hmm?

5621
03:14:06,470 --> 03:14:08,150
It wasn't so echoey.

5622
03:14:09,170 --> 03:14:10,510
Well, how about this one then?

5623
03:14:10,690 --> 03:14:12,210
Yo, yo, yo, what up?

5624
03:14:14,990 --> 03:14:16,170
Come on, come on.

5625
03:14:16,190 --> 03:14:17,590
Yo, yo, yo, what up?

5626
03:14:17,590 --> 03:14:18,350
That's not bad.

5627
03:14:18,530 --> 03:14:20,150
It's not great, but it's not bad.

5628
03:14:20,470 --> 03:14:21,330
Who sent you that?

5629
03:14:21,470 --> 03:14:21,790
I don't know.

5630
03:14:22,170 --> 03:14:23,630
Yeah, of course someone sent it to me.

5631
03:14:23,830 --> 03:14:25,170
Yo, yo, yo, what up?

5632
03:14:27,430 --> 03:14:28,230
Very white.

5633
03:14:28,350 --> 03:14:29,390
Yo, yo, yo, what up?

5634
03:14:29,470 --> 03:14:30,070
But we'll take it.

5635
03:14:30,330 --> 03:14:30,730
Very white.

5636
03:14:30,730 --> 03:14:31,850
We'll take it.

5637
03:14:32,790 --> 03:14:33,850
All right, what you got?

5638
03:14:34,390 --> 03:14:36,190
Okay, we got, here's the real one.

5639
03:14:36,250 --> 03:14:37,190
This is prophecy.

5640
03:14:37,990 --> 03:14:39,450
The prophecy has been completed.

5641
03:14:41,310 --> 03:14:42,330
Somebody sent that in.

5642
03:14:42,410 --> 03:14:43,550
Yeah, yeah, I can tell.

5643
03:14:43,750 --> 03:14:44,490
Poor woman.

5644
03:14:44,490 --> 03:14:45,030
Yeah.

5645
03:14:47,210 --> 03:14:49,310
Uh, okay, we can do, uh, can I

5646
03:14:49,310 --> 03:14:49,710
do better?

5647
03:14:49,990 --> 03:14:52,150
You can't do better than that if you

5648
03:14:52,150 --> 03:14:52,750
tried.

5649
03:14:56,490 --> 03:14:58,130
I recognize that guy.

5650
03:14:58,350 --> 03:14:58,510
Yeah.

5651
03:14:58,650 --> 03:14:59,370
Yeah, it's Caleb.

5652
03:14:59,690 --> 03:15:00,850
Yeah, that's right.

5653
03:15:00,910 --> 03:15:02,690
It's Caleb from 11 lives.

5654
03:15:02,810 --> 03:15:03,170
Yes.

5655
03:15:03,530 --> 03:15:05,090
And then your final one.

5656
03:15:06,270 --> 03:15:07,010
So good.

5657
03:15:07,310 --> 03:15:08,870
That show was so good.

5658
03:15:09,770 --> 03:15:10,850
I don't know, man.

5659
03:15:10,930 --> 03:15:12,310
Yo, yo, yo, what up?

5660
03:15:12,390 --> 03:15:13,190
I think my- Use it.

5661
03:15:13,290 --> 03:15:14,610
Use yo, yo, yo.

5662
03:15:14,630 --> 03:15:15,090
It's better.

5663
03:15:15,090 --> 03:15:15,950
Thank you very much.

5664
03:15:15,990 --> 03:15:17,350
And now it's time for the moment you've

5665
03:15:17,350 --> 03:15:18,090
all been waiting for.

5666
03:15:18,230 --> 03:15:18,530
John C.

5667
03:15:18,670 --> 03:15:19,770
DuBorac's tip of the day.

5668
03:15:26,530 --> 03:15:31,390
Well, you had your tip of the day

5669
03:15:31,390 --> 03:15:31,890
for today.

5670
03:15:32,830 --> 03:15:34,010
Uh, I did?

5671
03:15:34,990 --> 03:15:37,010
Oh, brother, you teased it last show.

5672
03:15:37,310 --> 03:15:38,750
Uh, I forgot what it was.

5673
03:15:39,770 --> 03:15:40,530
Wow, okay.

5674
03:15:40,690 --> 03:15:41,550
You don't have a tip?

5675
03:15:41,950 --> 03:15:42,870
No, I do have a tip.

5676
03:15:43,250 --> 03:15:44,130
Oh, thank goodness.

5677
03:15:44,130 --> 03:15:44,770
I'm sorry.

5678
03:15:44,850 --> 03:15:46,150
I completely spaced on that.

5679
03:15:46,250 --> 03:15:47,170
That's my, my mistake.

5680
03:15:47,350 --> 03:15:47,910
My mistake.

5681
03:15:48,010 --> 03:15:48,250
Okay.

5682
03:15:48,250 --> 03:15:50,150
Now this was suggested by one of the

5683
03:15:50,150 --> 03:15:52,810
producers and I said, yeah, you know, the

5684
03:15:52,810 --> 03:15:56,670
problem was here's the tip and everyone should

5685
03:15:56,670 --> 03:15:58,250
have one or two of these.

5686
03:15:58,250 --> 03:15:59,970
And I did have some thoughts about it.

5687
03:16:00,250 --> 03:16:04,550
And this is the window breaking tool that

5688
03:16:04,550 --> 03:16:05,770
you should have in your car.

5689
03:16:05,770 --> 03:16:07,050
That's got a diamond tip.

5690
03:16:07,070 --> 03:16:09,570
It's usually called an emergency seat belt cutter

5691
03:16:09,570 --> 03:16:11,290
and window hammer.

5692
03:16:13,190 --> 03:16:15,410
Everybody's got a blade on it because what

5693
03:16:15,410 --> 03:16:17,110
happens, you get into a wreck, especially in

5694
03:16:17,110 --> 03:16:18,810
one of these electric cars and the power

5695
03:16:18,810 --> 03:16:19,210
goes out.

5696
03:16:19,270 --> 03:16:20,490
You can't get out of the seat belt.

5697
03:16:20,590 --> 03:16:21,530
You cut the seat belt.

5698
03:16:21,950 --> 03:16:23,110
Then you take the little hammer and you

5699
03:16:23,110 --> 03:16:23,530
tap.

5700
03:16:23,750 --> 03:16:25,470
Doesn't take much because it's got a diamond

5701
03:16:25,470 --> 03:16:27,730
tip or it's carbide, whatever tip it has.

5702
03:16:28,050 --> 03:16:30,250
You snap it against a window, shatters, you

5703
03:16:30,250 --> 03:16:31,230
can get out of there.

5704
03:16:31,610 --> 03:16:33,430
Uh, as opposed to not being able to

5705
03:16:33,430 --> 03:16:34,570
roll it down if it's electric.

5706
03:16:35,750 --> 03:16:38,550
So the, the, the producer said, well, you

5707
03:16:38,550 --> 03:16:40,250
know, I, what's the best of these?

5708
03:16:40,250 --> 03:16:41,110
That's the question.

5709
03:16:41,250 --> 03:16:42,430
This is why it's a tip of the

5710
03:16:42,430 --> 03:16:42,570
day.

5711
03:16:42,650 --> 03:16:44,390
We want the absolute best.

5712
03:16:44,770 --> 03:16:47,310
Well, I don't, you can't determine the absolute

5713
03:16:47,310 --> 03:16:49,650
best without busting your car window.

5714
03:16:50,590 --> 03:16:52,910
So are going to a junkyard and saying,

5715
03:16:52,970 --> 03:16:54,390
can I test a bunch of these things

5716
03:16:54,390 --> 03:16:55,110
on your cars?

5717
03:16:55,210 --> 03:16:56,910
You'll see which one breaks the window best.

5718
03:16:57,190 --> 03:17:01,830
Now I would suggest simply put going to

5719
03:17:01,830 --> 03:17:05,310
Amazon and getting the $9.95. Do you

5720
03:17:05,310 --> 03:17:06,050
get two of them?

5721
03:17:06,650 --> 03:17:08,690
Uh, and it's a two pack and it's

5722
03:17:08,690 --> 03:17:12,270
got 27,000 reviews that average two, four

5723
03:17:12,270 --> 03:17:13,090
and a half stars.

5724
03:17:13,090 --> 03:17:14,670
And I think that's probably going to work.

5725
03:17:14,870 --> 03:17:16,730
The little ones that got a motor in

5726
03:17:16,730 --> 03:17:16,830
them.

5727
03:17:16,890 --> 03:17:18,470
The ones that pop the thing, a motor,

5728
03:17:18,570 --> 03:17:19,430
a motor.

5729
03:17:19,670 --> 03:17:20,510
Got a little thing.

5730
03:17:20,550 --> 03:17:23,530
It's a spring loaded, but it supposedly breaks

5731
03:17:23,530 --> 03:17:23,810
the window.

5732
03:17:23,890 --> 03:17:24,870
No, you want a hammer.

5733
03:17:25,030 --> 03:17:25,130
Yeah.

5734
03:17:25,150 --> 03:17:27,050
You want a hammer so you can bash

5735
03:17:27,050 --> 03:17:27,170
it.

5736
03:17:27,210 --> 03:17:28,290
And then you can look at these.

5737
03:17:28,390 --> 03:17:29,890
There's a bunch of different ones and it

5738
03:17:29,890 --> 03:17:30,550
has to have a cutter.

5739
03:17:30,630 --> 03:17:31,490
Now here's what I was.

5740
03:17:31,910 --> 03:17:33,190
Here's the real issue.

5741
03:17:33,190 --> 03:17:34,270
That's not discussed.

5742
03:17:34,270 --> 03:17:36,270
And it's probably really the more important part

5743
03:17:36,270 --> 03:17:36,710
of the tip.

5744
03:17:38,410 --> 03:17:39,890
So you're in the car.

5745
03:17:40,010 --> 03:17:40,810
You got the thing.

5746
03:17:40,990 --> 03:17:44,510
Usually you keep it in the little side

5747
03:17:44,510 --> 03:17:48,190
pocket of the, of the driver's seat and

5748
03:17:48,190 --> 03:17:49,290
you reach in there and you can grab

5749
03:17:49,290 --> 03:17:50,830
it and you can cut the seatbelt and

5750
03:17:50,830 --> 03:17:51,690
bang the window.

5751
03:17:52,190 --> 03:17:54,290
What happens if you're in a rollover?

5752
03:17:54,610 --> 03:17:56,930
The thing comes out of the side pocket,

5753
03:17:57,490 --> 03:17:58,770
bounces around the car.

5754
03:17:59,050 --> 03:18:00,610
You're stuck with the seatbelt on you.

5755
03:18:00,670 --> 03:18:01,770
It's out of reach.

5756
03:18:02,130 --> 03:18:02,410
Oh no.

5757
03:18:03,350 --> 03:18:04,250
What do you do?

5758
03:18:04,270 --> 03:18:05,610
What do you do?

5759
03:18:05,790 --> 03:18:07,250
Oh, well, you should have it on a,

5760
03:18:07,570 --> 03:18:08,890
around your neck on a string.

5761
03:18:09,590 --> 03:18:11,030
Whenever you look like an idiot.

5762
03:18:11,050 --> 03:18:11,550
Whenever you drive.

5763
03:18:12,310 --> 03:18:13,810
You have to, what you have to do

5764
03:18:13,810 --> 03:18:15,390
is you have to secure it somehow.

5765
03:18:15,590 --> 03:18:17,250
You either glue it or it should be

5766
03:18:17,250 --> 03:18:20,250
secured or put a string around it and

5767
03:18:20,250 --> 03:18:21,210
tie it to something.

5768
03:18:21,390 --> 03:18:21,590
Yeah.

5769
03:18:21,770 --> 03:18:25,170
So, so it doesn't get too far away.

5770
03:18:25,270 --> 03:18:27,630
If you have, you have a horrible situation

5771
03:18:27,630 --> 03:18:30,690
and even just a collision, it could jar

5772
03:18:30,690 --> 03:18:32,050
it loose and move it into the back

5773
03:18:32,050 --> 03:18:32,250
seat.

5774
03:18:32,250 --> 03:18:35,970
Like a leg holster, like a calf holster

5775
03:18:35,970 --> 03:18:37,270
and always have it in there when you're

5776
03:18:37,270 --> 03:18:37,650
driving.

5777
03:18:37,950 --> 03:18:38,690
Just in case.

5778
03:18:39,790 --> 03:18:42,190
But this is a situation that people should

5779
03:18:42,190 --> 03:18:42,910
think about.

5780
03:18:42,990 --> 03:18:43,570
A lanyard.

5781
03:18:43,670 --> 03:18:44,490
How about a lanyard?

5782
03:18:45,690 --> 03:18:49,210
Well, I'm just saying anything, but just think

5783
03:18:49,210 --> 03:18:50,050
about what happens.

5784
03:18:50,050 --> 03:18:51,910
How about don't drive an electric vehicle?

5785
03:18:52,050 --> 03:18:52,870
You got more chances.

5786
03:18:52,870 --> 03:18:55,090
Well, no, even in a regular car, you

5787
03:18:55,090 --> 03:18:56,670
drive into the lake.

5788
03:18:57,710 --> 03:18:59,930
I mean, there's a million, you don't want

5789
03:18:59,930 --> 03:19:00,890
to use these things.

5790
03:19:00,890 --> 03:19:02,430
You just have to, you should have them

5791
03:19:02,430 --> 03:19:04,750
though, just in case, because you don't want

5792
03:19:04,750 --> 03:19:05,750
to get stuck in the car.

5793
03:19:07,150 --> 03:19:09,310
But you have to consider the fact that

5794
03:19:09,310 --> 03:19:11,530
it'll get jostled and moved around in the

5795
03:19:11,530 --> 03:19:13,970
vehicle if the car flips or rolls over,

5796
03:19:14,090 --> 03:19:14,630
does anything.

5797
03:19:15,190 --> 03:19:18,730
And so you'd have to secure it somehow.

5798
03:19:18,870 --> 03:19:19,910
So just think about that.

5799
03:19:20,090 --> 03:19:21,630
But everyone should have one of these things.

5800
03:19:21,850 --> 03:19:23,390
Stop the hammering!

5801
03:19:23,490 --> 03:19:24,290
That's right, everybody.

5802
03:19:24,370 --> 03:19:25,130
Everyone needs one.

5803
03:19:25,210 --> 03:19:28,150
Tipoftheday.net, noagendafund.com for John's Tip of

5804
03:19:28,150 --> 03:19:28,530
the Day.

5805
03:19:35,170 --> 03:19:38,450
And sometimes, Adam, created by Dana Brunetti.

5806
03:19:38,590 --> 03:19:40,850
Wow, your tips are great.

5807
03:19:42,770 --> 03:19:45,030
Kind of morbid, but they're great.

5808
03:19:45,210 --> 03:19:46,150
Well, that one is.

5809
03:19:46,550 --> 03:19:47,410
Yeah, kind of morbid.

5810
03:19:47,410 --> 03:19:48,590
But it's a safety tip.

5811
03:19:48,710 --> 03:19:51,550
I understand it's a safety tip, but still,

5812
03:19:51,690 --> 03:19:52,850
it's like morbid, man.

5813
03:19:52,930 --> 03:19:54,610
It's like death, death, death, death.

5814
03:19:55,030 --> 03:19:56,330
There's no death if you have it.

5815
03:19:56,370 --> 03:19:57,730
No, not if you have it on a

5816
03:19:57,730 --> 03:19:58,070
lanyard.

5817
03:19:59,030 --> 03:20:00,930
Coming up, we got end-of-show mixes

5818
03:20:00,930 --> 03:20:03,990
from Leo LaPuke, Neil Jones, and Tom Starkweather.

5819
03:20:04,830 --> 03:20:06,230
A lot of money involved.

5820
03:20:07,470 --> 03:20:09,910
Up next on the No Agenda stream, TrollRoom

5821
03:20:09,910 --> 03:20:12,390
.io and your modern podcast app, we have

5822
03:20:12,390 --> 03:20:14,110
Our Big Dumb Mouth.

5823
03:20:14,470 --> 03:20:15,090
Oh, it's good.

5824
03:20:15,330 --> 03:20:15,930
They're back.

5825
03:20:17,330 --> 03:20:19,770
They were on some kind of hiatus.

5826
03:20:19,910 --> 03:20:20,910
People are a little concerned.

5827
03:20:21,050 --> 03:20:22,170
I'm glad they're back on the stream.

5828
03:20:22,270 --> 03:20:23,130
Good to see you guys.

5829
03:20:23,590 --> 03:20:24,650
Good for you, kids.

5830
03:20:25,810 --> 03:20:28,570
And we will return on Sunday with more

5831
03:20:28,570 --> 03:20:29,970
of your media deconstruction.

5832
03:20:30,110 --> 03:20:31,910
I wonder what there will be to talk

5833
03:20:31,910 --> 03:20:32,150
about.

5834
03:20:32,310 --> 03:20:34,190
I'm sure there's something we can pull apart

5835
03:20:34,190 --> 03:20:34,470
for you.

5836
03:20:34,490 --> 03:20:35,610
In the meantime, don't worry.

5837
03:20:35,710 --> 03:20:36,530
It's just like COVID.

5838
03:20:36,630 --> 03:20:37,630
It's all going to be OK.

5839
03:20:37,750 --> 03:20:38,690
You're not going to die.

5840
03:20:39,070 --> 03:20:41,030
But your iPhone, yeah, you might have to

5841
03:20:41,030 --> 03:20:42,030
trade that one in.

5842
03:20:42,790 --> 03:20:43,890
Coming to you from the heart of the

5843
03:20:43,890 --> 03:20:46,190
Texas Hill Country here in Fredericksburg in the

5844
03:20:46,190 --> 03:20:47,690
morning, everybody, I'm Adam Currie.

5845
03:20:48,030 --> 03:20:50,230
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain,

5846
03:20:50,410 --> 03:20:50,990
I'm John C.

5847
03:20:51,030 --> 03:20:51,370
Dvorak.

5848
03:20:51,410 --> 03:20:52,390
We return on Sunday.

5849
03:20:52,390 --> 03:20:55,070
Please remember us at noagendadonations.com.

5850
03:20:55,190 --> 03:20:59,050
Until then, adios, mofos, a hui hui, and

5851
03:20:59,050 --> 03:20:59,590
such.

5852
03:21:22,630 --> 03:21:24,710
Or whatever the fuck it's called to get

5853
03:21:24,710 --> 03:21:25,690
tested and get treated.

5854
03:21:26,190 --> 03:21:27,110
Poor, whatever the track.

5855
03:21:27,250 --> 03:21:29,090
They don't fucking have that money.

5856
03:21:29,390 --> 03:21:30,130
The fuck?

5857
03:21:30,770 --> 03:21:31,270
Look at it.

5858
03:21:43,670 --> 03:21:44,930
It's party time.

5859
03:21:49,390 --> 03:21:50,830
I want my check.

5860
03:21:52,230 --> 03:21:53,390
The risk is to the money.

5861
03:21:57,850 --> 03:21:59,590
And not to the person.

5862
03:22:00,930 --> 03:22:01,790
To the money.

5863
03:22:07,850 --> 03:22:10,030
The risk is to the money.

5864
03:22:10,370 --> 03:22:15,650
Not to the person.

5865
03:22:17,790 --> 03:22:18,870
To the money.

5866
03:22:21,190 --> 03:22:24,010
And the risk is not to the person.

5867
03:22:25,970 --> 03:22:28,030
The risk is to the money.

5868
03:22:36,590 --> 03:22:38,890
I don't think this entire line of questioning

5869
03:22:38,890 --> 03:22:41,710
is meant to be real questions, and so

5870
03:22:41,710 --> 03:22:42,610
I will not reply.

5871
03:22:42,990 --> 03:22:45,170
How can you spoil a system that is

5872
03:22:45,170 --> 03:22:45,790
already broken?

5873
03:22:46,170 --> 03:22:48,510
I don't know why Speaker Pelosi and everybody

5874
03:22:48,510 --> 03:22:51,430
else would be saying, oh, here, we're sorry,

5875
03:22:51,570 --> 03:22:52,710
we don't want to upset you, we'll give

5876
03:22:52,710 --> 03:22:53,330
you more money.

5877
03:22:53,490 --> 03:22:54,230
I did great.

5878
03:22:54,390 --> 03:22:55,270
I made a lot of money.

5879
03:22:55,410 --> 03:22:56,470
Any collusion?

5880
03:22:56,470 --> 03:22:59,670
You know, the Russia collusion, delusion, absolutely no

5881
03:22:59,670 --> 03:23:01,990
collusion between Trump and the Russia.

5882
03:23:02,190 --> 03:23:04,670
I reserve the right to my time.

5883
03:23:04,930 --> 03:23:06,330
It is not right.

5884
03:23:06,430 --> 03:23:07,430
That was not a question.

5885
03:23:07,690 --> 03:23:09,390
You have to reprogram the money.

5886
03:23:09,530 --> 03:23:11,490
The media at this point is parsing words

5887
03:23:11,490 --> 03:23:13,130
in a way that the average Virginians aren't.

5888
03:23:13,230 --> 03:23:14,870
No agenda in the morning.

5889
03:23:19,250 --> 03:23:22,250
The best podcast in the universe.

5890
03:23:23,210 --> 03:23:24,250
Adios, mofo.

5891
03:23:27,470 --> 03:23:30,030
Yo, yo, yo, what up?
