1
00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:01,300
Boom, boom, crop, boom.

2
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:03,280
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:03,720
Dvorak.

4
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,580
It's Thursday, May 15, 2025.

5
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,300
This is your award-winning Give on Asian

6
00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:10,120
Media assassination episode 1764.

7
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:12,060
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,980
It's been six weeks and we're still broadcasting

9
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:18,620
live from the heart of the Texas hill

10
00:00:18,620 --> 00:00:20,800
country here in FEMA region number six in

11
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:21,780
the morning, everybody.

12
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:22,880
I'm Adam Curry.

13
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,060
I'm from northern Silicon Valley where you've noticed

14
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:26,780
that Trump finally looks tired.

15
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:27,660
I'm John C.

16
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:28,120
Dvorak.

17
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,619
It's crackpot and buzzkill in the morning.

18
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,940
He does look tired, doesn't he?

19
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,440
Well, he's wandering around the guy in Abu

20
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:39,080
Dhabi.

21
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:39,760
Yeah.

22
00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:42,580
And he's just on his last legs.

23
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,560
You could, it just doesn't have, you know,

24
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,400
it's like, uh.

25
00:00:45,540 --> 00:00:47,220
I'm tired just watching the guy.

26
00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:48,720
It doesn't, doesn't surprise me.

27
00:00:48,820 --> 00:00:49,160
I'm like.

28
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:50,960
Pooping every, yeah.

29
00:00:51,380 --> 00:00:53,880
Hey, but before we get anywhere, breaking, breaking,

30
00:00:54,020 --> 00:00:54,620
breaking, breaking.

31
00:00:56,420 --> 00:00:57,460
Ow, Isis.

32
00:01:00,380 --> 00:01:03,900
We will follow them to the gates of

33
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:04,560
hell.

34
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,000
Yeah.

35
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,940
Say goodbye to the old boss.

36
00:01:13,060 --> 00:01:14,340
Say hello to the new boss.

37
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:15,720
Everything remains the same.

38
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,940
Strike one for Kash Patel, who was out

39
00:01:18,940 --> 00:01:22,120
on the social medias this morning touting this.

40
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,180
Oh yeah, we took care of him, boy.

41
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,520
We protect you Americans.

42
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,640
Six weeks cycle, cycle still in full effect.

43
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:30,640
And now it's time for.

44
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:31,280
Sorry.

45
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,200
I was, was so well-timed.

46
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,600
It was so well-timed.

47
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,200
No wonder we're getting no donations.

48
00:01:37,860 --> 00:01:39,360
You're going to blame me now.

49
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,080
Police and the FBI say they have stopped

50
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,540
a planned terror attack at a Metro Detroit

51
00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:45,800
military base.

52
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,740
The accused mastermind, a 19-year-old former

53
00:01:48,740 --> 00:01:51,360
member of the Michigan Army National Guard.

54
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,900
Again, a lot developing here at this hour.

55
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:55,860
Going to bring in Robin Murdoch with our

56
00:01:55,860 --> 00:01:57,060
Fox 2 Detroit team.

57
00:01:57,140 --> 00:01:59,160
Joining us live with what we know and

58
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,060
what is still left to figure out.

59
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:02,120
Good morning, Robin.

60
00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:03,400
Good morning, Josh.

61
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,820
Yeah, what could have happened here is absolutely

62
00:02:05,820 --> 00:02:06,380
frightening.

63
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:08,860
As you just mentioned, a 19-year-old

64
00:02:08,860 --> 00:02:12,180
Melvindale man is behind bars this morning for

65
00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:15,720
allegedly planning a terrorist attack at the TACOM

66
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,020
military facility here in Warren, where we are

67
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:19,800
right now.

68
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,360
He apparently, according to court documents, had been

69
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,140
planning this attack for about a year, and

70
00:02:26,140 --> 00:02:28,460
he was arrested on the day that he

71
00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:30,360
was supposed to carry this out.

72
00:02:30,420 --> 00:02:31,780
So he was arrested on Tuesday.

73
00:02:32,460 --> 00:02:34,880
19-year-old Ammar Syed had allegedly been

74
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,260
taking a couple or talking to a couple

75
00:02:37,260 --> 00:02:40,120
of different undercover officers who were posing as

76
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,140
ISIS supporters.

77
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,820
Now, federal investigators say that he told them

78
00:02:43,820 --> 00:02:47,160
how to make Molotov cocktails, gave them ammunition,

79
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,700
and even flew a drone over the military

80
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:52,660
base here to help plot that attack against

81
00:02:52,660 --> 00:02:53,020
Syed.

82
00:02:53,020 --> 00:02:55,580
Was arrested on the very same day he

83
00:02:55,580 --> 00:02:58,140
was supposed to carry out this mass shooting.

84
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:00,020
Now, neighbors, as you can imagine, they were

85
00:03:00,020 --> 00:03:02,980
just shocked when they saw the FBI raiding

86
00:03:02,980 --> 00:03:04,260
his home in Melvindale.

87
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,620
The allegations are alarming and simply frightening.

88
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:08,800
Yeah, okay.

89
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:10,920
Same as it ever was.

90
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,680
They talked to this poor 18-year-old

91
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,620
kid for a year, hyping him up.

92
00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:18,240
They got pictures of him doing Alawak bar

93
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,320
with the ISIS flag.

94
00:03:19,580 --> 00:03:20,200
Hey, kid.

95
00:03:20,460 --> 00:03:22,140
Hey, fly this drone around.

96
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:24,220
And the minute he gets to go, we

97
00:03:24,220 --> 00:03:24,760
got you.

98
00:03:24,860 --> 00:03:26,240
We're protecting you, America.

99
00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:28,260
Cash in peace, Cash Patel.

100
00:03:28,740 --> 00:03:30,060
That is lame.

101
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:31,840
It would be one thing if he was

102
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,180
like, oh, you know, that was the previous

103
00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:34,580
FBI.

104
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:35,380
But no.

105
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,240
Why would they change the formula that works?

106
00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:39,240
It doesn't work.

107
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,640
Except for you and I.

108
00:03:40,980 --> 00:03:43,420
It's entrapment of children.

109
00:03:43,420 --> 00:03:45,300
The guy always ends up getting off.

110
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,580
Most of these guys end up getting off.

111
00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:48,880
This is a child who was just being

112
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:49,580
jacked up.

113
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,720
And they should have said to him, hey,

114
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:52,440
hey, son, sit down.

115
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,220
A year ago.

116
00:03:53,340 --> 00:03:54,140
Sit down, son.

117
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,720
What is wrong with you?

118
00:03:55,980 --> 00:03:57,220
Let's talk to you about this.

119
00:03:57,380 --> 00:03:58,620
Get your parents in here.

120
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,000
Oh, that's 30 years ago.

121
00:04:01,020 --> 00:04:02,480
Yeah, but this is MAGA.

122
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:03,520
This is America.

123
00:04:03,580 --> 00:04:04,440
This is New America.

124
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,500
This is not Biden's America.

125
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:07,940
What is this nonsense?

126
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:10,440
Bush era did it.

127
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,140
Yeah, well, of course.

128
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,180
Everybody did it.

129
00:04:13,180 --> 00:04:14,400
But this is MAGA time.

130
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,100
The Kash Patel was going to be different.

131
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:16,920
He's going to be different.

132
00:04:17,019 --> 00:04:17,800
I'm going to do everything different.

133
00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:18,320
No.

134
00:04:18,820 --> 00:04:20,100
When's the last time that happened?

135
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,620
Well, I'm just saying that I'm very disappointed.

136
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,000
Very disappointed.

137
00:04:27,340 --> 00:04:29,900
What a, what a loser system.

138
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:31,960
Oh, come on, kid.

139
00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:33,500
Here, I'll show you how to make a

140
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:34,380
Molotov cocktail.

141
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,160
Make your own ammunition.

142
00:04:37,340 --> 00:04:38,780
Like you just can't, like you can't go

143
00:04:38,780 --> 00:04:39,500
out and buy it.

144
00:04:40,060 --> 00:04:41,060
Make your own ammo.

145
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:41,880
I'll show you how to make some ammo.

146
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:42,860
We'll keep you busy.

147
00:04:42,860 --> 00:04:44,520
These guys have been working this for a

148
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,820
year, wasting our money on this nonsense.

149
00:04:46,940 --> 00:04:48,760
Well, that I agree with that part of

150
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:48,940
it.

151
00:04:49,420 --> 00:04:49,900
Nonsense.

152
00:04:50,140 --> 00:04:53,820
No, it's just, it is, it is not

153
00:04:53,820 --> 00:04:54,160
cool.

154
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:55,580
Very disappointing.

155
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,180
He's up there now with A.G. Barbee.

156
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,280
Strike one against, actually, A.G. Barbee has

157
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:04,620
two strikes for Epstein and for JFK.

158
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:07,520
I'm sure she was probably, she's probably out

159
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,120
there today too.

160
00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:10,080
Well, we saved everybody.

161
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,140
I don't know if you're going to go

162
00:05:11,140 --> 00:05:11,260
with that.

163
00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:11,760
Terrorist attack.

164
00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:12,980
The strikes.

165
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:13,880
What about Diddy?

166
00:05:14,660 --> 00:05:15,800
What about Diddy?

167
00:05:16,460 --> 00:05:18,940
Where's the, where's the tapes?

168
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:21,720
Well, the tapes apparently were showed in court.

169
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:25,120
Well, some, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

170
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,640
The freak off tapes here.

171
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,160
Sean Diddy combs in Cassie Ventura on the

172
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,220
red carpet for a movie premiere in March

173
00:05:31,220 --> 00:05:32,080
of 2016.

174
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,440
Jurors shown similar pictures from that night today

175
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,880
in court in the sex trafficking and racketeering

176
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:38,840
trial of Combs.

177
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:41,260
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges

178
00:05:41,260 --> 00:05:41,980
against him.

179
00:05:42,540 --> 00:05:44,320
Ventura and Combs were dating at the time,

180
00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:45,640
but split in 2018.

181
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,080
Taking the stand for a second day, she

182
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,860
told jurors she wore a lot of makeup

183
00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:52,320
and sunglasses that night to cover bruising on

184
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:52,920
her face.

185
00:05:53,260 --> 00:05:56,500
Ventura testifying those bruises were caused by Combs

186
00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:58,640
two days before the premiere during a drug

187
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,840
-fueled sex party he called a freak off.

188
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,500
She told jurors Combs threw a vase of

189
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:05,060
flowers at her when she tried to leave

190
00:06:05,060 --> 00:06:05,660
the hotel.

191
00:06:05,660 --> 00:06:08,440
The jury seeing this image showing shards of

192
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,300
glass on the floor in the hotel hallway.

193
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,000
This video of Combs throwing Ventura to the

194
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,400
ground- The hallway beating.

195
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:14,920
What?

196
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,540
No, no, no, no, no, listen.

197
00:06:16,820 --> 00:06:18,920
And kicking her in that hallway was also

198
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,100
entered into evidence.

199
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,420
Prosecutors showing the jury seven still images from

200
00:06:23,420 --> 00:06:24,840
those videos in court today.

201
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:27,300
Ventura testified when she got home, a friend

202
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:29,500
noticed that injury at her swollen lip and

203
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:30,180
called police.

204
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:32,440
She said she didn't want to name Combs,

205
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,500
so police left.

206
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:36,360
Jurors showed a text message from Ventura to

207
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,480
Combs saying you are sick for thinking it's

208
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,860
okay to do what you've done.

209
00:06:40,220 --> 00:06:42,980
A prosecutor asked how frequently did Sean put

210
00:06:42,980 --> 00:06:44,680
his hands on you during freak offs?

211
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,980
Ventura responded too frequently.

212
00:06:47,460 --> 00:06:47,800
A lot.

213
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,440
The singer testified the freak offs also became

214
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,300
private pornography shoots with Combs setting up video

215
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:57,300
equipment to record that she felt humiliated, testifying

216
00:06:57,300 --> 00:06:59,380
it was just not okay for me and

217
00:06:59,380 --> 00:07:01,040
that she felt like an object without a

218
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,880
choice in whether or not to participate.

219
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,160
Ventura testifying Combs threatened.

220
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,280
I'm sure that this clip said they showed

221
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:08,320
the freak off videos.

222
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:10,180
Hold on her career and family.

223
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,080
Prosecutors showing the jury and only the jury.

224
00:07:13,260 --> 00:07:14,960
Some of those videos in court today.

225
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:15,520
Uh huh.

226
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,300
Told you the defense is arguing Ventura that

227
00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:21,020
tells us that they saw some of the

228
00:07:21,020 --> 00:07:22,260
only the jurors.

229
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,520
Some of the what videos?

230
00:07:23,740 --> 00:07:24,080
Which one?

231
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:24,880
The freak off video.

232
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:25,760
She said it right there.

233
00:07:25,780 --> 00:07:27,720
The freak off videos that were that were

234
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,200
recorded by Combs here saying she feared for

235
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,600
her career and family.

236
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,560
Prosecutors showing the jury and only the jury.

237
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,400
Some of those videos in court today.

238
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,720
Yeah, the freak off videos.

239
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,660
They've shown them some of the freak off

240
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:39,940
video.

241
00:07:40,220 --> 00:07:42,380
So do you keep throwing the word freak

242
00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:43,000
off in there?

243
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:43,940
They said it.

244
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,820
She said they showed the jury some of

245
00:07:46,820 --> 00:07:47,500
the videos.

246
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,120
They didn't say freak off videos.

247
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,780
You play it over and over again and

248
00:07:50,780 --> 00:07:52,240
you're hearing it wrong.

249
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,760
They're talking about the porn pornographic video shot

250
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:56,420
during the freak.

251
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:59,360
Listen, listen, open your ears and listen from

252
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,500
Ventura to Combs.

253
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:02,460
Saying you are sick for thinking it's OK

254
00:08:02,460 --> 00:08:03,580
to do what you've done.

255
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:06,680
A prosecutor asked how frequently did Sean put

256
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,420
his hands on you during freak offs?

257
00:08:08,820 --> 00:08:10,680
Ventura responded too frequently.

258
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:11,560
A lot.

259
00:08:11,740 --> 00:08:14,140
The singer testified the freak offs also became

260
00:08:14,140 --> 00:08:17,020
private pornography shoots with Combs setting up video

261
00:08:17,020 --> 00:08:21,020
equipment to record that she felt humiliated, testifying

262
00:08:21,020 --> 00:08:23,100
it was just not OK for me and

263
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:24,760
that she felt like an object without a

264
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,600
choice in whether or not to participate.

265
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,900
Ventura testifying Combs threatened to release the videos

266
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:32,280
when he was upset about something saying she

267
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,220
feared for her career and family.

268
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,120
Prosecutors showing the jury and only the jury

269
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,000
some of those videos in court today.

270
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:40,720
That's so it's those videos.

271
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,900
That's clear from the report.

272
00:08:43,020 --> 00:08:43,360
You agree?

273
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:44,940
No.

274
00:08:46,220 --> 00:08:48,400
OK, I inferred.

275
00:08:49,220 --> 00:08:50,540
Yes, it's implied.

276
00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:52,820
They're saying the video, the freak off videos

277
00:08:52,820 --> 00:08:55,340
that she was OK, but they don't use

278
00:08:55,340 --> 00:08:55,500
it.

279
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:57,080
They don't present it that way.

280
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,500
OK, I'm going to parse it because that's

281
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:01,040
what they do.

282
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,220
That's what the media does.

283
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,860
They they say one thing and then they

284
00:09:03,860 --> 00:09:05,440
kind of lead you astray and then make

285
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,220
you sound like you're something like something's going

286
00:09:07,220 --> 00:09:07,960
on when it's not.

287
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,560
Unless they said they showed them freak off

288
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:13,740
videos, I'm not.

289
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:14,960
They showed videos.

290
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,540
OK, well, it showed some of those videos.

291
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,500
And OK, whatever you just hear it differently.

292
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:21,180
That's fine.

293
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,060
That's fine.

294
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:22,480
It's fine.

295
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:23,040
You know what?

296
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,860
I spoke to those high school kids here

297
00:09:24,860 --> 00:09:28,020
yesterday morning and it was really that's right.

298
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:28,900
You were a big guy.

299
00:09:28,980 --> 00:09:30,340
You were the you were the.

300
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,980
Superstar speaker to the high school.

301
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:34,860
Yes.

302
00:09:36,140 --> 00:09:39,140
And and I it was actually very good

303
00:09:39,140 --> 00:09:41,580
for me because I realized as I was

304
00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:44,140
sitting there talking about, you know, it was

305
00:09:44,140 --> 00:09:45,380
supposed to be a propaganda.

306
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,800
And, you know, if you look up the

307
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,460
definition of propaganda, it is influencing people through

308
00:09:50,460 --> 00:09:51,220
communications.

309
00:09:51,220 --> 00:09:53,340
Doesn't have to be mass communications can even

310
00:09:53,340 --> 00:09:56,240
be through hairdos or hats or anything like

311
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:03,180
that to work on their on their emotions.

312
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,540
That's exactly what it is.

313
00:10:04,660 --> 00:10:07,880
And, you know, I referred to Edward Bernays,

314
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,240
who wrote the book, and that was all

315
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:09,820
before Hitler.

316
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,520
And that was 1929 when he had the

317
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,600
suffragettes and the torches of freedom.

318
00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:16,940
And this is cigarettes.

319
00:10:16,940 --> 00:10:17,180
Yeah.

320
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,700
And as I'm going through it, I'm like,

321
00:10:18,740 --> 00:10:22,800
you know, every single thing, even stuff you

322
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,200
and I say is all propaganda.

323
00:10:24,780 --> 00:10:26,060
And when I said, who do you think

324
00:10:26,060 --> 00:10:28,260
is the biggest propagandist in America right now?

325
00:10:28,340 --> 00:10:30,060
One kid, Levi, stuck up his hand.

326
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,580
He went, President Donald Trump.

327
00:10:31,660 --> 00:10:33,240
I said, yes, MAGA.

328
00:10:33,580 --> 00:10:34,320
He's got hats.

329
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:35,420
He's got a slogan.

330
00:10:36,020 --> 00:10:38,320
It's just he's not playing on fear necessarily.

331
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,160
And then I just remember.

332
00:10:40,180 --> 00:10:41,380
You don't have to play on fear to

333
00:10:41,380 --> 00:10:41,960
make it propaganda.

334
00:10:42,140 --> 00:10:44,280
No, but fear is much easier to do.

335
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,300
But, you know, all most people have is,

336
00:10:46,820 --> 00:10:47,580
he's Hitler.

337
00:10:48,340 --> 00:10:49,800
He's taking free jets.

338
00:10:54,340 --> 00:10:56,380
Speaking of which, I see you have a

339
00:10:56,380 --> 00:10:57,020
3x3.

340
00:10:57,100 --> 00:10:59,620
I guess the Jones Brothers syndicate has brought

341
00:10:59,620 --> 00:11:01,240
you back into their inner circle.

342
00:11:01,340 --> 00:11:02,600
Am I assuming this correctly?

343
00:11:02,860 --> 00:11:04,780
They chum the water once in a while.

344
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:07,760
And now it's time for 3x3.

345
00:11:07,940 --> 00:11:08,540
Chum the water.

346
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,560
Experiment by JC Dean.

347
00:11:10,580 --> 00:11:11,340
Oh yeah, baby.

348
00:11:11,340 --> 00:11:14,940
Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC.

349
00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:19,840
So before you get into it, I just

350
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,900
want to say that is it possible that

351
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:26,780
someone in the M5M news media will figure

352
00:11:26,780 --> 00:11:29,580
out the algorithm that is President Donald Trump?

353
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,500
Do they not understand by now that this

354
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:37,220
is, to use a term, chum in the

355
00:11:37,220 --> 00:11:39,740
water to look over here while I'm doing

356
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,000
something over there?

357
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,800
Because if you even try to figure out

358
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,220
where did this story come from about the

359
00:11:46,220 --> 00:11:46,480
jet?

360
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,140
Where did it come from?

361
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:51,960
It came from the Trump administration themselves.

362
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:54,040
They planted this.

363
00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:55,020
They launched it.

364
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,540
And everybody, everyone, everyone went for it.

365
00:12:00,580 --> 00:12:02,840
It is baffling how...

366
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,680
He's the master troller.

367
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,720
Everybody knows this.

368
00:12:05,940 --> 00:12:07,060
He's a master propagandist.

369
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,180
It was fantastic.

370
00:12:08,180 --> 00:12:10,000
He played right into them.

371
00:12:11,060 --> 00:12:12,440
No, they played right into him.

372
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:15,740
Yes, they played right into him.

373
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:18,340
And I'm just like the BBC is doing

374
00:12:18,340 --> 00:12:20,400
a better job at reporting these days than

375
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,540
anything we have.

376
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:23,840
And oh man, they even have it.

377
00:12:23,980 --> 00:12:25,300
What was the name they have now for

378
00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:25,480
it?

379
00:12:27,420 --> 00:12:28,420
What was it?

380
00:12:28,420 --> 00:12:29,580
I saw the rising.

381
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,720
What is the rising?

382
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,040
Had something, the rising.

383
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,620
The rising.

384
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,020
Oh yeah, listen to this.

385
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,680
Bride Force One controversy.

386
00:12:38,060 --> 00:12:39,440
Bride Force One.

387
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,680
Oh, we have a name for it.

388
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,200
Oh yes, it's a controversy.

389
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:44,340
He's taking favors from Qatar.

390
00:12:44,660 --> 00:12:46,360
He can't fly in a jet that might

391
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,660
explode him in air because they've planted bombs

392
00:12:48,660 --> 00:12:49,080
on it.

393
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,280
Or are eavesdropping.

394
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,240
How feeble minded are you people?

395
00:12:55,020 --> 00:12:56,180
Or are they just playing a game?

396
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,520
Do you think they really know it all?

397
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,020
And they're like, okay, we'll play the game.

398
00:12:59,100 --> 00:12:59,820
Is that possible?

399
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:03,300
No, I worked in there.

400
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:05,800
Then we are, you and I are working

401
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,440
amongst people who are below our intelligence level.

402
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:09,640
I don't know if we can do this

403
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:09,980
anymore.

404
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,360
It is so insulting that this just, you

405
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,940
know, the news is filled with it.

406
00:13:16,140 --> 00:13:17,960
Here in the United States, we have no

407
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,360
news.

408
00:13:19,140 --> 00:13:19,700
No news.

409
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,500
It's all entertainment tonight.

410
00:13:23,380 --> 00:13:25,120
It reminds me, you know, I was watching

411
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:25,700
CBS.

412
00:13:25,980 --> 00:13:27,360
I didn't get any clips from the show,

413
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:30,340
but CBS with John Dickerson and this other

414
00:13:30,340 --> 00:13:32,840
character whose name I can never remember is

415
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:33,420
French.

416
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:39,320
And they're trying to recreate the Chet Huntley,

417
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:41,440
David Brinkley combo.

418
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,320
Two guys yakking with each other.

419
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,560
And it's just not working.

420
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:48,360
You can tell that both these guys, the

421
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,400
one guy's big.

422
00:13:49,540 --> 00:13:51,960
He's a big dark skinned guy with a

423
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:52,540
French name.

424
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,660
He's maybe black and maybe Spanish.

425
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,420
I can't tell.

426
00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:59,640
And John Dickerson, who's, you know, white as

427
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:00,460
you can be.

428
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,680
And Beta, you know, he's very soft spoken.

429
00:14:06,380 --> 00:14:09,380
And these two guys are like, just like

430
00:14:09,380 --> 00:14:11,380
water and oil.

431
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:13,580
I mean, they don't, you can tell they

432
00:14:13,580 --> 00:14:16,080
don't like each other because Huntley and Brinkley,

433
00:14:16,420 --> 00:14:17,500
people don't remember them.

434
00:14:17,860 --> 00:14:18,980
I'm old enough to.

435
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:21,740
They were cordial.

436
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,920
They liked each other.

437
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:23,780
They'd hang out.

438
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,180
You could just tell it was a good

439
00:14:25,180 --> 00:14:25,680
team.

440
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,660
You watch these two guys.

441
00:14:27,660 --> 00:14:30,280
It's like watching, you know, a couple that

442
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,500
just hates each other.

443
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:35,200
Here's another thing I realized in preparation for

444
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,140
my big speech for the high school.

445
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,340
These kids, why would they listen to this

446
00:14:42,340 --> 00:14:42,560
show?

447
00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:45,040
The next generation is not interested in what

448
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:45,480
we're doing.

449
00:14:46,420 --> 00:14:49,680
They don't watch television at all, at all,

450
00:14:49,740 --> 00:14:50,660
at all, at all.

451
00:14:50,860 --> 00:14:51,260
Zero.

452
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:53,160
They don't watch PBS.

453
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,920
They don't listen to NPR.

454
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,520
None of this.

455
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,820
It's, it's, you know, we're, we're.

456
00:15:01,260 --> 00:15:02,800
You brought this up.

457
00:15:03,620 --> 00:15:05,820
And it reminds me, as I have seen

458
00:15:05,820 --> 00:15:08,560
some notes from some of these, this group.

459
00:15:08,660 --> 00:15:10,320
There are some kids who do, but it's

460
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:10,640
rare.

461
00:15:10,860 --> 00:15:11,540
A few, a few.

462
00:15:11,660 --> 00:15:11,840
Sure.

463
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,340
But I've seen notes to this effect, what

464
00:15:15,340 --> 00:15:19,600
you just said, condemning the show because who

465
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,880
cares about what CBS said?

466
00:15:21,940 --> 00:15:23,640
I mean, it's not the fact that CBS

467
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,920
still has millions and millions of viewers.

468
00:15:27,660 --> 00:15:30,160
And it does affect the public and it

469
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,640
definitely affects Washington more than anything.

470
00:15:33,380 --> 00:15:37,100
Because the people in Washington, our leaders all

471
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:38,360
watch these networks.

472
00:15:38,540 --> 00:15:41,700
Our leaders all read the New York Times,

473
00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:43,400
etc.

474
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,720
And so there's some reason to do this,

475
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:47,980
but.

476
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:48,860
Not much.

477
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:53,780
Basically, basically condemning us for being, what difference

478
00:15:53,780 --> 00:15:54,400
does it make?

479
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,240
We need to be screaming and yelling about

480
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,280
other podcasters.

481
00:15:57,660 --> 00:15:59,280
Here was my test.

482
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,320
Anyone hear about the President Trump jet controversy?

483
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:04,460
Three hands.

484
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:06,200
Three, three hands.

485
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:09,760
This has been blanketing our media for a

486
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:09,900
week.

487
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:10,960
Three, three hands.

488
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,900
How many kids were there?

489
00:16:12,940 --> 00:16:13,260
A hundred?

490
00:16:13,940 --> 00:16:14,820
No, less than that.

491
00:16:15,020 --> 00:16:16,520
And I say, how many of you have

492
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:17,840
heard about the TikTok ban?

493
00:16:17,940 --> 00:16:19,720
Boom, all hands up.

494
00:16:20,420 --> 00:16:21,520
What was it about?

495
00:16:21,860 --> 00:16:23,140
China's tracking us.

496
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,280
Of course, I dispelled that for them.

497
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,620
But that's, that's, that's the whole point.

498
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,920
It's like you actually, I've been withholding you

499
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,040
from the right direction from the show.

500
00:16:34,340 --> 00:16:36,040
We just need to do wall-to-wall

501
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,060
TikTok clips, man.

502
00:16:37,860 --> 00:16:38,120
Wall-to-wall.

503
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:38,980
Don't forget some today.

504
00:16:39,140 --> 00:16:40,980
Yeah, I just need to do wall-to

505
00:16:40,980 --> 00:16:41,980
-wall TikTok clops.

506
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:42,740
TikTok clops.

507
00:16:43,060 --> 00:16:44,360
Tick-tick-tock-tock clops.

508
00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:47,320
And we just got to be commenting on

509
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:47,500
them.

510
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:48,920
And we got to be talking about Megyn

511
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:49,240
Kelly.

512
00:16:49,540 --> 00:16:51,460
And we got to be talking about Dave

513
00:16:51,460 --> 00:16:52,900
Smith on Tucker Carlson.

514
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,420
And about all these people.

515
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,280
That's, that's, that is the future of the

516
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:57,480
show.

517
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,620
Otherwise, we're riding our audience into the pearly

518
00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:00,840
gates.

519
00:17:01,820 --> 00:17:03,099
Into the pearly gates.

520
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:04,859
There's something to be said for that.

521
00:17:05,180 --> 00:17:07,119
And I think others would agree.

522
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,240
Now, I do have a Dave Smith clip

523
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,160
I want to play later.

524
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,980
Which reiterates, the reason I caught this.

525
00:17:16,260 --> 00:17:17,420
It's a real good one too.

526
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:18,640
You'll get a kick out of it.

527
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,380
I don't think most people caught it.

528
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:24,599
But it reiterates something else that we've, in

529
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:26,000
the background, have discussed.

530
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,339
Well, do you want to do the three

531
00:17:27,339 --> 00:17:28,060
-by-three first?

532
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:28,480
Or do you want to go?

533
00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:29,340
I'm sorry.

534
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:31,320
You already introduced the three-by-three.

535
00:17:31,460 --> 00:17:34,300
We've got three clips about the stupid jet.

536
00:17:34,540 --> 00:17:37,340
Three clips from stations you kids don't watch.

537
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,420
The kids don't care about.

538
00:17:39,540 --> 00:17:40,460
But I'll tell you this.

539
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,220
This is not an emolument situation as far

540
00:17:45,220 --> 00:17:45,880
as I can tell.

541
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,940
You have to remember that we receive, we

542
00:17:47,940 --> 00:17:50,180
receive gifts from foreign countries all the time.

543
00:17:50,180 --> 00:17:50,580
We do?

544
00:17:52,180 --> 00:17:53,580
The Statue of Liberty?

545
00:17:53,820 --> 00:17:55,080
Oh no, I thought you and me, like

546
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:55,560
the show.

547
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:56,600
I'm like, what?

548
00:17:56,940 --> 00:17:57,320
Oh, I wish.

549
00:17:58,500 --> 00:17:59,400
Send me a jet.

550
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:01,660
We get a box of candy once in

551
00:18:01,660 --> 00:18:01,980
a while.

552
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:03,260
From out of state.

553
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:03,580
Yeah.

554
00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:07,500
Yes.

555
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:09,180
I do get some sweatshirts and hoodies.

556
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:11,520
Yeah, but your point is well made.

557
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,560
Of course, there's all kinds of gifts.

558
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:16,480
But you know, the whole idea here is,

559
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,680
let's start some noise that makes it look

560
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,620
like Trump is trying to benefit from his

561
00:18:22,620 --> 00:18:23,860
kids.

562
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,340
You know, they're doing hotels in Qatar.

563
00:18:26,820 --> 00:18:29,000
And this is all, this is a grift.

564
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,000
It's a grift, man.

565
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,000
It's a bunch of grifters.

566
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:32,860
That's the implication.

567
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,260
So let's start with, let's start with the

568
00:18:38,260 --> 00:18:40,900
CIA, the CBS.

569
00:18:41,980 --> 00:18:45,380
Air Force One, an undeniable representation of American

570
00:18:45,380 --> 00:18:47,780
power, ferried President Trump to the Middle East

571
00:18:47,780 --> 00:18:48,140
today.

572
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:50,400
But three months ago, the president toured an

573
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,240
opulent Boeing 747, described as a flying palace

574
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,180
with a master bedroom, elegant bathrooms and staircase,

575
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,380
offered to the U.S. government free of

576
00:18:59,380 --> 00:19:01,440
charge by the royal family of Qatar.

577
00:19:01,900 --> 00:19:03,960
Trump seems all in.

578
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,140
And I could be a stupid person and

579
00:19:06,140 --> 00:19:08,500
say, no, we don't want a free, very

580
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:09,580
expensive airplane.

581
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,120
But it was, I thought it was a

582
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:12,680
great gesture.

583
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,860
Frank Kendall served as Air Force Secretary in

584
00:19:14,860 --> 00:19:17,760
the Biden administration and says this idea shouldn't

585
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:18,240
fly.

586
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:19,620
It's a symbol of the presidency.

587
00:19:19,860 --> 00:19:21,020
It's a symbol of the American people.

588
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:23,600
And it's just frankly wrong for the president

589
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,240
to be flying an airplane, which when anyone

590
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,340
sees it will be seen as a gift

591
00:19:27,340 --> 00:19:27,720
from Qatar.

592
00:19:27,980 --> 00:19:30,020
The Qatari plane is built by Boeing in

593
00:19:30,020 --> 00:19:31,520
the U.S., but it would have to

594
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,020
be scrubbed for spyware.

595
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:34,680
And it lacks at least a billion dollars

596
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,680
worth of presidential parts, a flying situation room,

597
00:19:37,820 --> 00:19:40,440
a medical clinic and top secret technology.

598
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,580
Air Force One is a flying White House.

599
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,820
It is equipped with everything the president needs

600
00:19:44,820 --> 00:19:46,960
that you can get into a 747 so

601
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,660
he can do his job while he's traveling.

602
00:19:49,140 --> 00:19:50,900
This aircraft will not have those things.

603
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,400
So how much is it going to cost

604
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,560
to retrofit a palace into the White House?

605
00:19:55,420 --> 00:19:57,380
It would take years and it would be

606
00:19:57,380 --> 00:19:58,280
very expensive.

607
00:19:58,980 --> 00:20:01,500
But Kendall says the commander in chief has

608
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:03,620
the power to fly on any aircraft he

609
00:20:03,620 --> 00:20:04,100
wants.

610
00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:05,800
And he can say, I don't care about

611
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:06,720
any of those things.

612
00:20:06,820 --> 00:20:08,840
All I want is a luxurious airplane that

613
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,780
I can fly around on.

614
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:13,820
And is our other lawmakers in Washington OK

615
00:20:13,820 --> 00:20:14,540
with this gift?

616
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:15,340
No.

617
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,980
Oh, there's bipartisan condemnation of this.

618
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:19,620
Democrats are saying they're going to block Justice

619
00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:22,540
Department nominees because officials there have signed off

620
00:20:22,540 --> 00:20:23,120
on this agreement.

621
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,560
The president himself, back in his first term,

622
00:20:25,660 --> 00:20:27,980
accused Qatar of being a funder of terrorism.

623
00:20:27,980 --> 00:20:29,860
But for now, he says he wants the

624
00:20:29,860 --> 00:20:30,100
plane.

625
00:20:30,860 --> 00:20:32,420
You know, the thing that I don't think

626
00:20:32,420 --> 00:20:34,500
anyone mentioned might be in your three by

627
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:38,460
threes, not a single person, news person or

628
00:20:38,460 --> 00:20:42,420
not, mentioned that the term Air Force One

629
00:20:42,420 --> 00:20:45,040
is any if the president decides to get

630
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,360
into a Cessna 172 and fly around, that

631
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:50,680
is then Air Force One.

632
00:20:53,170 --> 00:20:54,990
So just a small point.

633
00:20:55,110 --> 00:20:56,630
But they didn't even make that.

634
00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:58,970
They don't make any points that said this

635
00:20:58,970 --> 00:20:59,630
is all bad.

636
00:20:59,850 --> 00:21:01,090
By the way, that's interesting.

637
00:21:01,170 --> 00:21:03,130
These not the guys on the networks, but

638
00:21:03,130 --> 00:21:05,190
all these people, these spokespeople, I'm starting to

639
00:21:05,190 --> 00:21:06,150
hear this more and more.

640
00:21:06,650 --> 00:21:09,390
People are pronouncing, you know, Qatar's been pronounced.

641
00:21:10,290 --> 00:21:10,690
Gutter.

642
00:21:11,150 --> 00:21:11,430
Gutter.

643
00:21:11,510 --> 00:21:11,890
Gutter.

644
00:21:12,070 --> 00:21:13,010
You noticed it, too.

645
00:21:13,090 --> 00:21:13,410
Oh, yeah.

646
00:21:13,610 --> 00:21:13,930
Gutter.

647
00:21:14,870 --> 00:21:15,550
It's gutter.

648
00:21:15,890 --> 00:21:16,290
It's.

649
00:21:16,910 --> 00:21:17,310
Cutter.

650
00:21:17,370 --> 00:21:18,710
You could say cutter or Qatar.

651
00:21:18,990 --> 00:21:20,690
I always I like Qatar better.

652
00:21:20,970 --> 00:21:21,370
Qatar's.

653
00:21:21,470 --> 00:21:22,110
I like Qatar better.

654
00:21:22,390 --> 00:21:23,170
Sounds like a guitar.

655
00:21:23,370 --> 00:21:24,310
You know, yeah, guitar.

656
00:21:24,510 --> 00:21:26,890
I play my guitar in Qatar and my

657
00:21:26,890 --> 00:21:27,590
chicks for free.

658
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,200
So, yes, I've noticed this gutter thing myself.

659
00:21:32,340 --> 00:21:34,180
Well, I'm sure the subliminal gutter.

660
00:21:34,380 --> 00:21:35,180
It's just the gutter.

661
00:21:35,340 --> 00:21:36,460
There's the gutter over there.

662
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:37,560
That's the reason.

663
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,120
There's a reason to say gutter.

664
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:40,460
Well, there's a reason to say Keeve.

665
00:21:42,180 --> 00:21:45,120
So let's go with let's move to I'm

666
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:46,580
going to say let's go to NBC.

667
00:21:47,060 --> 00:21:49,580
The president is defending his decision to accept

668
00:21:49,580 --> 00:21:52,100
a super luxury jumbo jet from the Qatari

669
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:54,220
government for the Pentagon to use as the

670
00:21:54,220 --> 00:21:57,100
new Air Force One amid ongoing delays for

671
00:21:57,100 --> 00:21:58,620
a replacement jet from Boeing.

672
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,360
A White House official confirms these are pictures

673
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:02,260
of its interior.

674
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,960
The president says the jet will be transferred

675
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,900
to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation when he

676
00:22:07,900 --> 00:22:08,600
leaves office.

677
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,180
The White House says legal details are still

678
00:22:11,180 --> 00:22:13,600
being worked out on the proposed gift, while

679
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,400
Qatar says no final agreement has been reached.

680
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,060
I think that was a very nice gesture.

681
00:22:18,180 --> 00:22:20,400
Now, I could be a stupid person and

682
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,640
say, oh, no, we don't want a free

683
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:21,960
plane.

684
00:22:22,180 --> 00:22:23,200
We get free things.

685
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:24,280
We'll take one, too.

686
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:27,120
Aviation experts tell NBC News the jet would

687
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:29,720
likely have to be dismantled part by part

688
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,660
to look for listening devices, then upgraded with

689
00:22:32,660 --> 00:22:33,700
expensive systems.

690
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:34,160
Same story.

691
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,140
And missile defense.

692
00:22:36,540 --> 00:22:39,100
Democrats are blasting the proposed gift as a

693
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:40,680
threat to national security.

694
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:42,520
What people will now see is.

695
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,000
Wait a minute.

696
00:22:43,580 --> 00:22:44,680
Don't they want him dead?

697
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:46,180
Isn't this wouldn't this be great?

698
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:46,860
Yeah.

699
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,420
Get on that plane, man.

700
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,380
Who knows what's going on now?

701
00:22:50,420 --> 00:22:51,900
It's a threat to national security.

702
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:52,560
All of a sudden.

703
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,120
Blasting the proposed gift as a threat to

704
00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:56,080
national security.

705
00:22:56,460 --> 00:22:58,260
What people will now see is the most

706
00:22:58,260 --> 00:23:00,820
powerful man on Earth flying around in a

707
00:23:00,820 --> 00:23:04,100
plane paid for by a foreign government.

708
00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:05,680
It's disgusting.

709
00:23:06,180 --> 00:23:07,780
It's wildly corrupt.

710
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,020
It's corrupt.

711
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:10,500
There you go.

712
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:11,440
It's corrupt.

713
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,800
They all took the chum.

714
00:23:14,460 --> 00:23:16,160
It's like a chew toy.

715
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,620
Like, you know, there's another aspect of my

716
00:23:20,620 --> 00:23:21,080
chew toy.

717
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,820
Another aspect of this is to give the

718
00:23:23,820 --> 00:23:27,200
needle to Boeing for not finishing the jet.

719
00:23:27,260 --> 00:23:28,000
They're supposed to be.

720
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,580
This was taking 10 years and they can't

721
00:23:30,580 --> 00:23:33,920
get this, you know, the 747 presidential upgrade

722
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:34,520
done.

723
00:23:34,620 --> 00:23:36,200
To me, that was the whole point of

724
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:36,740
saying it.

725
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:37,820
That's what I think.

726
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,000
I think it was one of the.

727
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:39,680
Yeah, for sure.

728
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,500
Well, but then he subsequently went and did,

729
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,340
you know, like a hundred billion plus dollar

730
00:23:44,340 --> 00:23:45,300
deal for Boeing.

731
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,360
Like, and he said, get those jets out

732
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:48,900
there, boys.

733
00:23:48,980 --> 00:23:49,640
Come on now.

734
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:50,560
So, yeah.

735
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,280
Can't believe we're discussing this.

736
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,620
But that's exactly what your propagandistic news media

737
00:23:58,620 --> 00:23:59,920
all around the world has done.

738
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,620
And we only have one left.

739
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,180
And this will take it to any reason.

740
00:24:04,340 --> 00:24:05,860
Saving ABC to the end.

741
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,040
I do want to mention that on today's.

742
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,240
It was very interesting on today's The View.

743
00:24:12,340 --> 00:24:15,240
They had the regular team and then they

744
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,160
brought Kelsey Grammer on to talk about his.

745
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:19,780
What does he have?

746
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,780
He has a new movie book, a new

747
00:24:22,780 --> 00:24:23,200
book.

748
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,240
What is it?

749
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,700
Tell all book, because he's been 5 5

750
00:24:26,700 --> 00:24:30,000
about the murder of his sister 50 years

751
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:30,480
ago.

752
00:24:31,980 --> 00:24:34,200
Kelsey Grammer is an interesting dude, man.

753
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,580
So he's got this book.

754
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,640
So they brought him out.

755
00:24:38,980 --> 00:24:39,200
Yeah.

756
00:24:39,460 --> 00:24:42,560
Sonny Hauston and Joy Behar were not on

757
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,460
the set when Kelsey was on the set.

758
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,880
Now, I thought, well, maybe they filmed it

759
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,420
some other time.

760
00:24:48,460 --> 00:24:50,580
But once Kelsey left the set, those two

761
00:24:50,580 --> 00:24:51,380
came back on.

762
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:52,900
I wonder why.

763
00:24:52,900 --> 00:24:55,380
Well, because Kelsey works for Fox and he's

764
00:24:55,380 --> 00:24:55,980
a Republican.

765
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,500
Kelsey Grammer works for Fox?

766
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,040
Yeah, he's on the Fox, whatever that streaming

767
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,360
services doing history lessons.

768
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,100
I missed that.

769
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,220
Yeah, it's a gig.

770
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,040
Well, it is a gig.

771
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,560
But the fact is that those two stiffs

772
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,040
would not.

773
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:18,220
ABC has got to get it together.

774
00:25:18,700 --> 00:25:20,380
They can't put up with this guy.

775
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,640
This is you can't do that.

776
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,780
You can't walk out on a guest because

777
00:25:24,780 --> 00:25:27,220
of politics when they're talking about a book

778
00:25:27,220 --> 00:25:28,420
about a dead sister.

779
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:32,700
Like anyone, like anyone cares what they do

780
00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:33,260
on The View.

781
00:25:33,420 --> 00:25:34,000
Who cares?

782
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,960
Well, I guess the ABC execs sure don't

783
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:37,240
care.

784
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,900
No, no, they don't.

785
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:40,600
But so here we go.

786
00:25:40,660 --> 00:25:42,560
So I save ABC for last because they're

787
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,040
the worst.

788
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:46,660
President Trump today defended the $400 million gift

789
00:25:46,660 --> 00:25:48,700
he wants to accept from the government of

790
00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:53,080
Qatar, a massive 747-8 luxury jet that's

791
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,880
been called a flying palace.

792
00:25:55,260 --> 00:25:57,300
The jet, which is bigger and more luxurious

793
00:25:57,300 --> 00:25:59,880
than Air Force One, would almost certainly be

794
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,180
the most expensive gift ever from a foreign

795
00:26:02,180 --> 00:26:02,640
power.

796
00:26:03,060 --> 00:26:06,020
It has two fully furnished floors, plush carpet,

797
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,200
leather couches and two bedrooms.

798
00:26:08,540 --> 00:26:11,600
Under the entirely unprecedented arrangement, the Qatari royal

799
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,840
family would give the plane to the Pentagon

800
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,480
to be used as Air Force One.

801
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,960
But shortly before Trump leaves office, ownership would

802
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,060
transfer to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation.

803
00:26:22,260 --> 00:26:24,360
I would never be one to turn down

804
00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:26,000
that kind of an offer.

805
00:26:26,180 --> 00:26:27,940
I mean, I could be a stupid person

806
00:26:27,940 --> 00:26:30,000
and say, no, we don't want a free,

807
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,540
very expensive airplane.

808
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,320
Democrats say accepting the Qatari jet would be

809
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,580
clearly illegal, violating the Constitution's ban on gifts

810
00:26:38,580 --> 00:26:39,940
from foreign heads of state.

811
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:43,220
His shameless self-enrichment is without equal in

812
00:26:43,220 --> 00:26:44,120
American history.

813
00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:46,680
Hillary Clinton pointed to the president's comments that

814
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,040
children might have to settle for just two

815
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,480
dolls because of the impact of his tariffs.

816
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:54,940
Clinton posting, so American children should make do

817
00:26:54,940 --> 00:26:57,620
with two dolls while Donald Trump gets a

818
00:26:57,620 --> 00:27:00,380
free sky palace from the Qatari government.

819
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:01,760
Well done, ABC.

820
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:03,220
Oh, well done.

821
00:27:03,340 --> 00:27:03,620
OK.

822
00:27:04,060 --> 00:27:06,200
And the top Democrat on the Armed Services

823
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,160
Committee, Jack Reed, flagged alarming national security concerns,

824
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,580
warning using the Qatari jet as the new

825
00:27:12,580 --> 00:27:16,380
Air Force One would, quote, pose immense counterintelligence

826
00:27:16,380 --> 00:27:20,040
risks by granting a foreign nation potential access

827
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,460
to sensitive systems and communications.

828
00:27:22,820 --> 00:27:25,480
Trump today angrily dismissed the criticism.

829
00:27:25,980 --> 00:27:27,200
They're giving us a free jet.

830
00:27:27,660 --> 00:27:29,300
I could say, no, no, no, don't give

831
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:29,440
us.

832
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,340
I want to pay you a billion or

833
00:27:31,340 --> 00:27:33,340
400 million or whatever it is.

834
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,860
Or I could say, thank you very much.

835
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,780
Attorney General Pam Bondi argues the arrangement with

836
00:27:38,780 --> 00:27:41,860
Qatar is legal, insisting the plane is not

837
00:27:41,860 --> 00:27:44,900
a bribe because the Qatari royal family is

838
00:27:44,900 --> 00:27:46,160
getting nothing in return.

839
00:27:46,780 --> 00:27:48,840
So that was Jonathan Karl, right?

840
00:27:49,380 --> 00:27:49,600
Yep.

841
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:50,340
So then.

842
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,740
So John, did you see Jonathan Karl getting

843
00:27:52,740 --> 00:27:55,900
interviewed about this huge story he's been talking

844
00:27:55,900 --> 00:27:56,260
about?

845
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:57,520
No.

846
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,420
Oh, oh, yes.

847
00:27:59,540 --> 00:28:00,880
In the meantime, we turn to the uproar

848
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,140
over the 400 million dollar gift from the

849
00:28:03,140 --> 00:28:06,680
government of Qatar tonight, a luxury 747 jumbo

850
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,120
jet to be used as Air Force One

851
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:11,200
until the end of Trump's term when the

852
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,060
White House says it would be decommissioned and

853
00:28:13,060 --> 00:28:14,620
donated to the Trump Library.

854
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:16,980
Tonight, President Trump answering questions on this.

855
00:28:17,060 --> 00:28:18,840
And there are many critics asking, is this

856
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:19,220
ethical?

857
00:28:19,220 --> 00:28:19,980
Is it legal?

858
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,780
And how safe is it for an American

859
00:28:21,780 --> 00:28:23,500
president to be flying on a jet given

860
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:24,960
to him by a foreign nation?

861
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,340
President Trump saying he would be a stupid

862
00:28:27,340 --> 00:28:29,240
person to turn the offer down.

863
00:28:29,740 --> 00:28:31,200
Jonathan Karl broke the story.

864
00:28:31,260 --> 00:28:32,460
And John's back on this tonight.

865
00:28:32,460 --> 00:28:34,460
He broke the story.

866
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,080
Not break the story.

867
00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:37,320
He broke it, baby.

868
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,700
Jonathan Karl is the man.

869
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,360
He broke the story.

870
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,880
He had inside sources that, oh, they're giving

871
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,000
Trump a jet.

872
00:28:45,020 --> 00:28:48,220
Someone in the White House called Jonathan Karl

873
00:28:48,220 --> 00:28:52,320
and said, that's why, by the way, that's

874
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,600
why Trump did this.

875
00:28:54,820 --> 00:28:56,500
Mr. President, what do you say to people

876
00:28:56,500 --> 00:28:58,620
who view that luxury jet as a personal

877
00:28:58,620 --> 00:28:59,700
gift to you?

878
00:28:59,820 --> 00:29:00,640
Why not leave it behind?

879
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,020
Your NBC fake news, right?

880
00:29:02,020 --> 00:29:03,740
Only ABC.

881
00:29:03,980 --> 00:29:05,340
Well, a few of you would.

882
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:06,480
Let me tell you.

883
00:29:06,860 --> 00:29:09,700
So he calls out ABC fake news because

884
00:29:09,700 --> 00:29:12,480
he gave the story to ABC to humiliate

885
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:12,680
them.

886
00:29:13,220 --> 00:29:15,420
It's so obvious what's going on here.

887
00:29:15,580 --> 00:29:18,000
And they took the bait and the hook

888
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,360
and the line and the sinker.

889
00:29:20,740 --> 00:29:22,520
But Jonathan Karl, he's a hero.

890
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,780
President Trump today defended the 400.

891
00:29:25,260 --> 00:29:26,480
That's similar to your clip.

892
00:29:26,540 --> 00:29:27,820
I want to get to the Jonathan Karl.

893
00:29:27,940 --> 00:29:28,960
He listens to this.

894
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:30,720
OK.

895
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,740
Trump today angrily dismissed the criticism.

896
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,460
They're giving us a free jet.

897
00:29:35,620 --> 00:29:36,420
We had all that.

898
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:36,940
Maybe this.

899
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,380
OK, John, you broke the story.

900
00:29:38,660 --> 00:29:40,140
All right, John Karl, you broke the story.

901
00:29:40,220 --> 00:29:41,340
John, you laid out there many of the

902
00:29:41,340 --> 00:29:42,560
questions, but there's another one.

903
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,280
And it's a big one.

904
00:29:43,540 --> 00:29:44,900
You know, folks are asking how safe would

905
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:46,200
this be for an American president to be

906
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,260
flying around on a jet given by a

907
00:29:48,260 --> 00:29:48,880
foreign government?

908
00:29:48,980 --> 00:29:51,380
And wouldn't this jet have to be significantly

909
00:29:51,380 --> 00:29:53,260
taken apart to make sure it's secure from

910
00:29:53,260 --> 00:29:54,480
surveillance, from spying?

911
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,960
And how long would that take?

912
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,580
David, it would require extensive modifications.

913
00:29:59,580 --> 00:30:02,960
The Air Force has strict requirements for any

914
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,420
presidential aircraft in terms of the security and

915
00:30:05,420 --> 00:30:06,620
communications features.

916
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,360
A presidential plane must be able to operate

917
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,920
even in the event of a nuclear blast.

918
00:30:12,260 --> 00:30:13,620
And of course, as you mentioned, it would

919
00:30:13,620 --> 00:30:16,460
have to go through a security sweep to

920
00:30:16,460 --> 00:30:18,880
search for listening devices and tracking devices.

921
00:30:19,220 --> 00:30:20,160
How long would it take?

922
00:30:20,540 --> 00:30:22,540
The White House, White House officials have suggested

923
00:30:22,540 --> 00:30:24,280
it could be done by the end of

924
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:24,700
the year.

925
00:30:24,780 --> 00:30:27,140
But many experts say it could actually take

926
00:30:27,140 --> 00:30:29,380
years to accomplish all of that.

927
00:30:29,380 --> 00:30:31,320
John Carl, who broke the story on this

928
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:31,540
week.

929
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:32,300
John, thank you.

930
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:32,600
He broke the story.

931
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,420
He was handed the story so they could

932
00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:36,800
be human.

933
00:30:36,940 --> 00:30:38,520
Trump is in his element here.

934
00:30:38,820 --> 00:30:42,180
And he got everything he wanted, including delusional

935
00:30:42,180 --> 00:30:42,840
Democrats.

936
00:30:43,020 --> 00:30:44,920
And the Democrats are fighting it only because

937
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:45,540
they want to fight.

938
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,140
They have Trump derangement syndrome.

939
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:48,560
You know, if it was somebody else, they

940
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:49,040
wouldn't fight.

941
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:51,200
If you had a normal person, you had

942
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,320
some stiff sitting behind you, they'd be fine.

943
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:56,480
But they have Trump derangement syndrome.

944
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,480
You know, Senator Schumer has become a Palestinian.

945
00:31:00,700 --> 00:31:01,220
Welcome.

946
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,240
I don't know when they're going to give

947
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,500
him the ceremony, whatever the ceremony may be.

948
00:31:06,260 --> 00:31:08,580
It's terrible what's happened to the Democrats.

949
00:31:09,020 --> 00:31:09,160
Yeah.

950
00:31:09,260 --> 00:31:10,720
So he got that extra.

951
00:31:11,300 --> 00:31:14,360
I thought France 24 did a great job

952
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,140
because they pulled in some of his classic

953
00:31:16,140 --> 00:31:17,640
quotes while he was on the road.

954
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,420
Touchdown of Air Force One in Doha for

955
00:31:20,420 --> 00:31:22,420
the second leg of Donald Trump's Middle East

956
00:31:22,420 --> 00:31:22,880
tour.

957
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,120
And the red carpet is rolled out.

958
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,200
Greeted on the tarmac by Qatar's emir, Tamim

959
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,460
bin Hamad Al Fahmy.

960
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,420
The U.S. president was treated to a

961
00:31:33,420 --> 00:31:36,440
traditional sword dance and a procession of camels

962
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,580
for a formal welcome at Qatar's royal court,

963
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,260
where Trump got down to business, signing an

964
00:31:42,260 --> 00:31:45,140
array of deals between Washington and Doha, including

965
00:31:45,140 --> 00:31:47,380
a record order of Boeing planes by Qatar

966
00:31:47,380 --> 00:31:48,060
Airways.

967
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,720
From Boeing, that's the largest order of jets

968
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:51,740
in the history of Boeing.

969
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:52,560
That's pretty good.

970
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,160
Over 200 billion dollars.

971
00:31:55,540 --> 00:31:57,920
Didn't hear anyone on ABC, NBC or CBS

972
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,280
talk about that.

973
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,160
But 160 in terms of the jets.

974
00:32:02,340 --> 00:32:02,960
That's fantastic.

975
00:32:03,180 --> 00:32:06,160
A joint statement on defense cooperation and a

976
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,800
drone deal were also signed.

977
00:32:08,220 --> 00:32:10,260
The lavish welcome also saw a sit down

978
00:32:10,260 --> 00:32:13,120
in the luxurious Al Emiri Palace, where the

979
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,100
U.S. president was full of praise.

980
00:32:15,260 --> 00:32:16,200
You're going to have a look at this.

981
00:32:16,220 --> 00:32:16,960
It's so beautiful.

982
00:32:17,700 --> 00:32:21,040
As a construction person, I'm seeing perfect marble.

983
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,120
This is what they call perfecto.

984
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,180
What a beautiful place.

985
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,940
And we appreciate those camels.

986
00:32:27,100 --> 00:32:28,960
I haven't seen camels in a long time.

987
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:30,440
Best camels ever.

988
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:31,600
I love your camel.

989
00:32:31,740 --> 00:32:32,920
So you got beautiful camels.

990
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,640
Trump also expressed his admiration for the Qatari

991
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,980
emir and Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman,

992
00:32:39,140 --> 00:32:40,860
who he met in Riyadh on Tuesday.

993
00:32:41,300 --> 00:32:42,920
You two guys get along so well and

994
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:43,600
like each other.

995
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,560
You sort of remind me a little bit

996
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:46,660
of each other, if you want to know

997
00:32:46,660 --> 00:32:47,080
the truth.

998
00:32:47,260 --> 00:32:49,800
They're both tall, handsome guys that happen to

999
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:50,500
be very smart.

1000
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,960
A charm offensive in Qatar as Trump comes

1001
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,120
under fire for saying he wanted to accept

1002
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,480
a luxury jet worth $400 million from the

1003
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,200
oil rich Gulf country, arguing that he would

1004
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,720
be stupid to turn down a free gift.

1005
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,520
So, as I said, the BBC, they actually

1006
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,400
were reporting on stuff about this major trade

1007
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:12,740
deal.

1008
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,580
It's, you know, it's reported between 600 billion

1009
00:33:15,580 --> 00:33:17,580
and 1.2 trillion dollars.

1010
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:19,220
I don't know exactly where it comes from,

1011
00:33:19,220 --> 00:33:21,140
but it's impressive numbers.

1012
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,660
And at least they had some some journalistic

1013
00:33:23,660 --> 00:33:24,240
reporting.

1014
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,780
President Trump is continuing his tour of the

1015
00:33:26,780 --> 00:33:27,340
Middle East.

1016
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,280
On Wednesday, he was in Qatar, where he

1017
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,240
signed a series of deals, including a huge

1018
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,080
order for Boeing planes.

1019
00:33:35,580 --> 00:33:37,520
It's the largest order of jets in the

1020
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:38,240
history of Boeing.

1021
00:33:38,340 --> 00:33:39,080
That's pretty good.

1022
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:44,520
It's over 200 billion dollars, but 160 in

1023
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:45,400
terms of the jets.

1024
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,240
That's fantastic.

1025
00:33:46,460 --> 00:33:47,160
So that's a record.

1026
00:33:47,220 --> 00:33:48,140
And congratulations.

1027
00:33:48,140 --> 00:33:48,540
What?

1028
00:33:50,060 --> 00:33:50,540
What?

1029
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,840
Was that error message in the middle of

1030
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,400
that clip?

1031
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:54,520
Was that from your clip?

1032
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,480
He said 160.

1033
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,840
No, no, I'm talking about the window sound.

1034
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,480
No, I didn't hear a window sound.

1035
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:02,900
That's on your end.

1036
00:34:03,860 --> 00:34:05,920
Mr. Boeing, get those planes out there.

1037
00:34:06,540 --> 00:34:09,760
Our North America editor, Sarah Smith, is traveling

1038
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:10,760
with Mr. Trump.

1039
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:12,500
So what sort of welcome?

1040
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,000
Well, was Jonathan Karl traveling with Mr. Trump?

1041
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:16,380
I doubt it.

1042
00:34:16,380 --> 00:34:18,340
Has he had on his tour so far?

1043
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,520
It's been very lavish.

1044
00:34:20,659 --> 00:34:22,780
These Arab states that he's visiting seem to

1045
00:34:22,780 --> 00:34:25,280
be competing with each other to show who

1046
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,460
can put on the more sumptuous welcome for

1047
00:34:28,460 --> 00:34:29,040
Donald Trump.

1048
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,760
So as he came in from the airport

1049
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,199
this afternoon, he was met by a caravan

1050
00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:37,000
of camels and there were dancing men with

1051
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,300
swords along the length of the highway.

1052
00:34:39,820 --> 00:34:42,300
And now he's turning up for a state

1053
00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:44,000
dinner at the Royal Palace.

1054
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,820
And yet again, there is all kinds of

1055
00:34:45,820 --> 00:34:47,620
ceremony to greet him there.

1056
00:34:47,699 --> 00:34:48,800
And he loves it.

1057
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,139
I mean, you can see how much he

1058
00:34:50,139 --> 00:34:52,940
is enjoying this tour of the Middle East,

1059
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,020
where he is being feted by royalty and,

1060
00:34:56,139 --> 00:34:58,440
you know, as he visits some of the

1061
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,040
wealthiest countries in the world.

1062
00:35:00,380 --> 00:35:02,360
And he's able to seal some very lucrative

1063
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,660
deals as he goes around clearly enjoying himself.

1064
00:35:05,980 --> 00:35:07,960
Not just lucrative deals, but of course, there's

1065
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,880
this huge arms deal with Saudi Arabia, which

1066
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,100
is a clear signal to the Iranians like,

1067
00:35:14,460 --> 00:35:16,380
hey, we're not going to do anything, but

1068
00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:17,520
these guys will.

1069
00:35:17,860 --> 00:35:19,000
They don't like you.

1070
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,640
So all I have to do is snap

1071
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,560
my fingers and you guys are in trouble.

1072
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,000
So let's make a deal.

1073
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,860
We begin in Saudi Arabia.

1074
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,400
President Trump has made a raft of significant

1075
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,980
announcements in the Gulf state on the first

1076
00:35:31,980 --> 00:35:33,760
day of his tour of the Middle East.

1077
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:37,420
Speaking after a lavish lunch hosted by the

1078
00:35:37,420 --> 00:35:41,480
kingdom's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, he said

1079
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,380
the two had signed commercial agreements worth more

1080
00:35:44,380 --> 00:35:45,880
than $600 billion.

1081
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,560
The White House said these included the largest

1082
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,740
defense sales deal in history.

1083
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,480
That was a minor detail Jonathan Karl didn't

1084
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:54,960
bring up.

1085
00:35:55,660 --> 00:35:58,300
Mr. Trump spoke at an investment forum in

1086
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:01,740
the Saudi capital Riyadh, heaping praise on his

1087
00:36:01,740 --> 00:36:02,260
hosts.

1088
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,420
I want to thank his royal highness, the

1089
00:36:04,420 --> 00:36:08,320
crown prince, for that incredible introduction.

1090
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,560
He's an incredible man.

1091
00:36:10,060 --> 00:36:11,360
Known him a long time now.

1092
00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:13,440
There's nobody like him.

1093
00:36:13,980 --> 00:36:17,180
I've never forgotten the exceptional hospitality show to

1094
00:36:17,180 --> 00:36:22,100
us by King Salman, who's just, we talk

1095
00:36:22,100 --> 00:36:23,080
about a great man.

1096
00:36:23,180 --> 00:36:24,300
That is a great man.

1097
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,500
That is a great man, a great family.

1098
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,760
President Trump said Iran was the most destructive

1099
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,600
force in the Middle East and contrasted its

1100
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,600
actions with what he deemed as positive developments

1101
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,140
on the Arabian Peninsula.

1102
00:36:39,820 --> 00:36:42,800
In his speech, Mr. Trump urged Tehran to

1103
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,940
make what he called a deal with Washington

1104
00:36:44,940 --> 00:36:47,380
or face devastating consequences.

1105
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,340
I'm here today not merely to condemn the

1106
00:36:50,340 --> 00:36:53,460
past chaos of Iran's leaders, but to offer

1107
00:36:53,460 --> 00:36:56,720
them a new path toward a far better

1108
00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:58,000
and more hopeful future.

1109
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,500
I want to make a deal with Iran.

1110
00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:02,420
If I can make a deal with Iran,

1111
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:03,820
I'll be very happy if we're going to

1112
00:37:03,820 --> 00:37:06,740
make your region and the world a safer

1113
00:37:06,740 --> 00:37:07,200
place.

1114
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,160
But if Iran's leadership rejects this olive branch

1115
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,120
and continues to attack their neighbors, then we

1116
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,760
will have no choice but to inflict massive

1117
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,160
maximum pressure.

1118
00:37:18,700 --> 00:37:18,860
Pressure.

1119
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,600
Drive Iranian oil exports to zero and take

1120
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,180
all action required to stop the regime from

1121
00:37:25,180 --> 00:37:27,960
ever having a nuclear weapon.

1122
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,800
Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.

1123
00:37:30,940 --> 00:37:31,820
This is so good.

1124
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,040
He's in Saudi Arabia and says, I'm here

1125
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,120
to make a deal with Iran.

1126
00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:39,780
This is called the $600 billion deal of

1127
00:37:39,780 --> 00:37:42,860
devastation we will unleash on you if you

1128
00:37:42,860 --> 00:37:43,740
don't do a deal.

1129
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:48,040
It's baffling that no news media puts these

1130
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,360
two little bits together.

1131
00:37:49,860 --> 00:37:51,360
Well, NTD did.

1132
00:37:51,620 --> 00:37:52,620
Wow, NTD.

1133
00:37:53,540 --> 00:37:54,160
NTD.

1134
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,760
I mean, Fox did.

1135
00:37:57,460 --> 00:37:58,880
Not where's your clip?

1136
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,700
Well, I don't have to play those clips.

1137
00:38:01,820 --> 00:38:04,100
But the point is, is that it has

1138
00:38:04,100 --> 00:38:04,880
it was discussed.

1139
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:05,480
But you're right.

1140
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,320
What you're saying is that the big three.

1141
00:38:08,820 --> 00:38:09,020
Yes.

1142
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,680
Said nothing because they were there in the

1143
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,060
bag for the Democrat Party and Chuck Schumer.

1144
00:38:15,300 --> 00:38:15,620
Yes.

1145
00:38:16,380 --> 00:38:17,100
And I agree.

1146
00:38:17,260 --> 00:38:19,880
And then this was underplayed, I felt in

1147
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:20,820
the United States.

1148
00:38:20,820 --> 00:38:24,100
But the meeting with the the new the

1149
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:26,320
new guy in Syria, who's not a new

1150
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:26,700
guy.

1151
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,920
We've known about this guy, but it's OK.

1152
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,020
This is a guy.

1153
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,380
And Trump will go meet him.

1154
00:38:31,580 --> 00:38:33,720
It wasn't expected to be a long meeting.

1155
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,120
Donald Trump had merely said he would say

1156
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,680
hello to the Syrian president, Ahmed al-Shara.

1157
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,900
I'll just say hello to Saudi Arabia.

1158
00:38:43,660 --> 00:38:45,680
But this was the first time in a

1159
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,220
quarter of a century that an American leader

1160
00:38:48,220 --> 00:38:49,840
met their Syrian counterpart.

1161
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,400
And more than that, Mr. al-Shara leads

1162
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,140
a group still listed as a terrorist organization

1163
00:38:55,140 --> 00:38:58,200
by many countries, an offshoot of al-Qaeda.

1164
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,320
But speaking afterwards, President Trump made clear his

1165
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:01,720
name.

1166
00:39:01,860 --> 00:39:04,480
That brief hello is intended to be just

1167
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,060
the start of a new diplomatic era between

1168
00:39:07,060 --> 00:39:07,960
the two countries.

1169
00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:08,420
Brief hello.

1170
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,280
We are currently exploring normalizing relations with Syria's

1171
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,320
new government, as you know, beginning with my

1172
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,680
meeting with President Ahmed al-Shara.

1173
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,980
Secretary Rubio's meeting with the Syrian foreign minister

1174
00:39:23,980 --> 00:39:24,820
in Turkey.

1175
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,200
I am also ordering the cessation of sanctions

1176
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,400
against Syria to give them a fresh start.

1177
00:39:30,620 --> 00:39:31,040
Fresh start.

1178
00:39:31,060 --> 00:39:33,520
And that, of course, represents a major concrete

1179
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,740
development in the new U.S.-Syria diplomacy, a

1180
00:39:36,740 --> 00:39:39,220
concrete step which is not merely of interest

1181
00:39:39,220 --> 00:39:41,020
to businesspeople and economists.

1182
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:44,080
Just listen to these ordinary Syrians welcoming the

1183
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,220
news on the streets of the capital, Damascus.

1184
00:39:48,340 --> 00:39:50,820
The feeling is indescribable.

1185
00:39:51,580 --> 00:39:52,860
Unbelievable happiness.

1186
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,180
Hopefully, God helps this country and it will

1187
00:39:56,180 --> 00:39:57,600
be better for everyone.

1188
00:39:58,260 --> 00:39:59,920
Congratulations to everyone.

1189
00:40:02,620 --> 00:40:05,040
There is incredible happiness for all Syrians.

1190
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,200
It will be great for our country.

1191
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:08,780
Construction will return.

1192
00:40:09,140 --> 00:40:10,220
The refugees will return.

1193
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:11,400
Everyone will return.

1194
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:12,600
The prices will drop.

1195
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,640
There is good to come, God willing.

1196
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,360
It just needs a bit of patience.

1197
00:40:16,660 --> 00:40:18,640
But good things are coming our way.

1198
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:20,360
So you and I would just be like,

1199
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:21,400
OK, well, that's interesting.

1200
00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:22,920
A guy used to be a terrorist.

1201
00:40:23,180 --> 00:40:25,200
And now we're going to wipe the slate

1202
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:25,620
clean.

1203
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,980
It's probably a little jab towards Israel at

1204
00:40:28,980 --> 00:40:29,860
the same time.

1205
00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:32,360
But see, this is where we're doing things

1206
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:32,680
wrong.

1207
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,860
We need to be like Scott Horton.

1208
00:40:36,540 --> 00:40:38,760
We need to go on Judge Knapp show

1209
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,780
and talk about what a horrible dictator.

1210
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,500
And this is no good.

1211
00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:45,880
Before you go on to that clip, since

1212
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,960
you're going and going, I don't want you

1213
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,080
to get too far off the track.

1214
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,180
But I know what you're headed.

1215
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,540
Just as a subtext, I want to mention

1216
00:40:56,540 --> 00:40:59,260
the fact that this show has determined early

1217
00:40:59,260 --> 00:41:02,880
on during the ISIS era that ISIS was

1218
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:03,900
created by us.

1219
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,720
And the one thing that was very noticeable

1220
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:08,640
about ISIS is they never attacked Israel.

1221
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:10,480
They never had anything negative to do with

1222
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:10,880
Israel.

1223
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,640
No, Israel is their handlers.

1224
00:41:12,740 --> 00:41:14,560
I think that's pretty well established now.

1225
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,400
So so when Trump meets with his ex

1226
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:19,800
ISIS guy.

1227
00:41:20,020 --> 00:41:20,520
He's an employee.

1228
00:41:21,780 --> 00:41:22,020
Yeah.

1229
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:23,880
Yeah, exactly.

1230
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,460
But you see, that's not the way to

1231
00:41:26,460 --> 00:41:26,720
go.

1232
00:41:27,260 --> 00:41:29,120
That's not what gets people to listen to

1233
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:29,580
our show.

1234
00:41:30,540 --> 00:41:32,980
I'm just I'm doing media deconstruction on ourselves.

1235
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,260
This is going to be the theme for

1236
00:41:34,260 --> 00:41:34,620
the show.

1237
00:41:34,660 --> 00:41:35,100
It is.

1238
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,240
Don't worry, I've got to.

1239
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:37,540
I got TikTok clips coming.

1240
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:37,820
I know.

1241
00:41:37,820 --> 00:41:38,040
I know.

1242
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,440
You're going to save the day with TikTok

1243
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:40,200
clubs.

1244
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:41,140
I can't say it.

1245
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,180
TikTok, TikTok, Klop Klip Klops.

1246
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:44,440
So, yeah.

1247
00:41:44,820 --> 00:41:47,140
So, of course, Scott Horton, who wrote the

1248
00:41:47,140 --> 00:41:47,380
book.

1249
00:41:47,700 --> 00:41:48,720
He wrote the book on everything.

1250
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,580
He went on Judge Knapp to set the

1251
00:41:50,580 --> 00:41:51,300
record straight.

1252
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,740
According to Max Blumenthal, they are slaughtering Alawites

1253
00:41:55,740 --> 00:41:58,560
and Christians in Syria.

1254
00:41:58,960 --> 00:41:59,620
By the thousands.

1255
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,060
This is the guy that Trump embraced.

1256
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:03,520
This is the guy that Trump praised.

1257
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,420
And this is the guy, the head of

1258
00:42:05,420 --> 00:42:10,680
the government, theoretically, from which Trump removed sanctions.

1259
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,300
This is a guy who, until a month

1260
00:42:12,300 --> 00:42:14,460
ago, Trump's own State Department had a $10

1261
00:42:14,460 --> 00:42:16,400
million bounty on his head.

1262
00:42:17,220 --> 00:42:17,320
Yeah.

1263
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,280
And look, the thing is, I wrote my

1264
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,300
book is called Enough Already, Time to End

1265
00:42:23,300 --> 00:42:24,400
the War on Terrorism.

1266
00:42:24,460 --> 00:42:25,840
And I don't argue in there that there's

1267
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:26,760
no enemies out there.

1268
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,440
There are Bin Ladenites out there.

1269
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,260
And I would never recommend in a million

1270
00:42:30,260 --> 00:42:33,280
years that Trump lead another war against this

1271
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,040
new Bin Ladenite state in Syria.

1272
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,920
Somebody else is going to have to work

1273
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:37,440
that out.

1274
00:42:37,620 --> 00:42:39,740
But for God's sake, we shouldn't be backing

1275
00:42:39,740 --> 00:42:40,040
him.

1276
00:42:40,260 --> 00:42:43,260
So lift the sanctions, yes, but officially normalize

1277
00:42:43,260 --> 00:42:45,080
relations with them.

1278
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:45,840
I don't know why.

1279
00:42:46,140 --> 00:42:47,740
Why can't we lean on the Turks to

1280
00:42:47,740 --> 00:42:52,260
put somebody who's not a former, supposedly, sworn

1281
00:42:52,260 --> 00:42:55,180
blood oath member of Al-Qaeda in charge

1282
00:42:55,180 --> 00:42:55,940
of Damascus?

1283
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:56,500
It's crazy.

1284
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,000
And clearly, it's up to the Turks to

1285
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:58,480
decide.

1286
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,840
They have 100,000 times the state power

1287
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,860
that this new Syrian regime has.

1288
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,940
They can go in there and change things.

1289
00:43:07,060 --> 00:43:08,520
Why does this have to be the status

1290
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:08,760
quo?

1291
00:43:08,820 --> 00:43:09,960
See, this is what we're doing wrong.

1292
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,560
You need to go on Judge Knapp's show,

1293
00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:12,820
and you really need to get out there,

1294
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:13,120
John.

1295
00:43:13,620 --> 00:43:15,080
You need to say, listen, I wrote the

1296
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:15,980
book on vinegar.

1297
00:43:16,700 --> 00:43:18,720
And I know that this is not the

1298
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:19,680
way to go with Syria.

1299
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,040
We can't do this.

1300
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:22,380
This is a murdering butcher.

1301
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:24,000
We can't have any of this happening.

1302
00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:26,000
And Trump is corrupt.

1303
00:43:26,220 --> 00:43:31,060
With respect to Mohammed bin Salman, Trump has

1304
00:43:31,060 --> 00:43:32,040
to cozy up to him.

1305
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,560
Trump's boys are building high-rises in Saudi

1306
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:36,120
Arabia.

1307
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,340
Yeah, Trump's boys.

1308
00:43:40,500 --> 00:43:41,700
I'm not going to talk to you because

1309
00:43:41,700 --> 00:43:44,560
you butchered, I forget the fellow's name, the

1310
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,900
reporter from the Washington Post.

1311
00:43:47,220 --> 00:43:49,300
Khashoggi, I can't remember his name.

1312
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:50,480
Khashoggi's name.

1313
00:43:51,700 --> 00:43:56,260
Yeah, Khashoggi, Crown Prince Bonesaw, we used to

1314
00:43:56,260 --> 00:43:56,880
call him there.

1315
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,280
No, NBC called him that.

1316
00:43:59,580 --> 00:44:01,880
There's still no actual evidence that took place.

1317
00:44:02,300 --> 00:44:03,420
Scott Horton wrote the book.

1318
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,500
I think I might have got Kennedy in

1319
00:44:05,500 --> 00:44:07,440
trouble on Fox Business Channel for calling him

1320
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:07,680
that.

1321
00:44:08,260 --> 00:44:11,740
But yeah, he is a murderer.

1322
00:44:11,940 --> 00:44:13,780
And he's, of course, the butcher of the

1323
00:44:13,780 --> 00:44:16,860
Yemenis from 2015 through 22 as well.

1324
00:44:17,220 --> 00:44:18,900
Mohammed bin Salman is a terrible guy.

1325
00:44:19,260 --> 00:44:21,340
And I don't know the intricacies of Trump's

1326
00:44:21,340 --> 00:44:23,180
son's business relations over there.

1327
00:44:23,460 --> 00:44:24,940
They ought to be able to keep that

1328
00:44:24,940 --> 00:44:26,200
separate, even if they are doing that.

1329
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:27,680
And they should not be doing that while

1330
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:28,420
he is in power.

1331
00:44:28,660 --> 00:44:30,240
But even if they are, they ought to

1332
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:31,140
be able to keep that separate.

1333
00:44:31,140 --> 00:44:33,600
And just like Joe Biden ought to be

1334
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,920
able to say, I'm sorry, your business interests

1335
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,580
don't mean anything compared to the foreign policy

1336
00:44:38,580 --> 00:44:39,960
interests of the United States of America.

1337
00:44:40,140 --> 00:44:41,340
And if we have to play hardball with

1338
00:44:41,340 --> 00:44:43,380
these countries, we're going to.

1339
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:46,680
But yeah, clearly, it's a major disincentive for

1340
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:47,140
doing that.

1341
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:48,420
Yeah, see, this is our problem.

1342
00:44:48,660 --> 00:44:49,740
We're too glib.

1343
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:50,480
We're too cavalier.

1344
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:51,080
We're laughing.

1345
00:44:51,220 --> 00:44:53,140
We're laughing about everything to make people happy

1346
00:44:53,140 --> 00:44:54,740
and to make them not so somber about

1347
00:44:54,740 --> 00:44:55,120
the news.

1348
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,140
We have to be like, well, this is

1349
00:44:57,140 --> 00:44:58,380
serious business, man.

1350
00:44:58,500 --> 00:45:00,340
And they can't accept a jet.

1351
00:45:00,340 --> 00:45:04,280
What is your opinion of this $400 million

1352
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,640
plane as a gift that the Qataris want

1353
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,220
to give to the Defense Department and then

1354
00:45:11,220 --> 00:45:13,000
to Trump's library?

1355
00:45:13,220 --> 00:45:15,000
I mean, do the Qataris give these things

1356
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,640
not expecting a quid pro quo?

1357
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,040
I can't imagine.

1358
00:45:20,900 --> 00:45:23,860
And, you know, it's really a shame.

1359
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,000
I mean, the whole idea is just crazy.

1360
00:45:26,140 --> 00:45:28,620
Trump ought to obviously just turn them down

1361
00:45:28,620 --> 00:45:29,420
and say thank you.

1362
00:45:29,420 --> 00:45:30,260
But no, thank you.

1363
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,420
It's a massive conflict of interest.

1364
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,200
Just that there any foreign state, if it

1365
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,700
was the English or the French or anybody

1366
00:45:36,700 --> 00:45:39,640
else, the Statue of Liberty, anybody, Germans, we

1367
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,500
shouldn't be doing this kind of deal with

1368
00:45:41,500 --> 00:45:42,500
any foreign country.

1369
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,560
And clearly, when it's a monarchy, a royal

1370
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,660
monarchy in the Middle East, it's crazy.

1371
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,660
They were camel drivers, man, not a monarchy.

1372
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,440
They just made them made up some titles

1373
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,680
for themselves that we would have that kind

1374
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,380
of relationship with there.

1375
00:45:58,380 --> 00:46:00,920
And then, yes, of course, just like with

1376
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,200
every foreign expenditure in this country, there's a

1377
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,580
massive conflict of interest, you know, with all

1378
00:46:06,580 --> 00:46:07,560
of the exactly.

1379
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:09,500
And it's you got to take responsibility.

1380
00:46:09,660 --> 00:46:11,540
Don't worry, I'll spare the rest.

1381
00:46:11,540 --> 00:46:13,260
But it gets down to Israel eventually.

1382
00:46:13,540 --> 00:46:15,720
Believe me, we should not be paying for

1383
00:46:15,720 --> 00:46:17,440
Israel to slaughter innocent people.

1384
00:46:18,220 --> 00:46:19,700
That's what it always comes down to with

1385
00:46:19,700 --> 00:46:20,220
these guys.

1386
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,020
Well, there's also there's another thing going on.

1387
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,360
I have a clip that kind of backs

1388
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,360
up that clip again on Judge Knapp.

1389
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,740
Hey, you're fishing in my in my pond.

1390
00:46:31,700 --> 00:46:34,720
Well, this clip has been floating around and

1391
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:36,660
this is Scott Ritter.

1392
00:46:37,940 --> 00:46:41,520
Another fine, another fine, another fine example.

1393
00:46:41,900 --> 00:46:43,100
And I'll say this.

1394
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,620
This is this started once Trump.

1395
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,760
Here's the backstory was written up in the

1396
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:55,200
newsletter about how it's possible that Hexeth was

1397
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:55,940
set up.

1398
00:46:55,940 --> 00:46:56,540
Yes.

1399
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,000
They wanted him out.

1400
00:46:58,180 --> 00:47:02,200
They wanted him out because they want because

1401
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:03,760
Mike Waltz and all that.

1402
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,180
There's still neocons around and people don't like

1403
00:47:06,180 --> 00:47:08,220
using the term anymore because it's I don't

1404
00:47:08,220 --> 00:47:08,680
know why.

1405
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,080
But Mark Levin is part of this.

1406
00:47:12,580 --> 00:47:15,000
And he went after Tucker Carlson on his

1407
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,880
on his radio show and calling him Oswald

1408
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,880
the 30 mocking him for being a kind

1409
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:24,580
of a pretty boy.

1410
00:47:24,580 --> 00:47:27,440
And I went back and listened to the

1411
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,860
Dave Smith thing where Tucker brought up Mark

1412
00:47:29,860 --> 00:47:31,360
Levin and Dave Smith.

1413
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,640
The Dave Smith clip, which is the one

1414
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:36,860
I have is going to do with this

1415
00:47:36,860 --> 00:47:38,320
particular topic.

1416
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,860
But Tucker was very mild about complaining about

1417
00:47:41,860 --> 00:47:42,660
Mark Levin.

1418
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:44,860
He said that Mark Levin is once war

1419
00:47:44,860 --> 00:47:45,380
with Iran.

1420
00:47:45,420 --> 00:47:46,040
And he does.

1421
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,140
If you listen to Mark Levin radio show

1422
00:47:48,140 --> 00:47:51,460
or his TV stuff, he wants war with

1423
00:47:51,460 --> 00:47:51,740
Iran.

1424
00:47:51,820 --> 00:47:53,880
He wants Iran to be bombed to oblivion.

1425
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,900
You know, Israel's the greatest place in the

1426
00:47:55,900 --> 00:47:56,340
world.

1427
00:47:56,660 --> 00:47:58,260
And bomb Iran bomb.

1428
00:47:58,520 --> 00:47:59,980
He's the bomb bomb bomb.

1429
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,880
Yes, bomb Iran McCain.

1430
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:03,000
John McCain.

1431
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:04,120
Yes.

1432
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,320
And Mike Waltz apparently was doing a thing

1433
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:12,360
with Netanyahu and the whole set up to

1434
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,260
get Hex was actually a set up.

1435
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,300
It was kind of a double crossed.

1436
00:48:17,300 --> 00:48:19,700
And the idea was to get rid of

1437
00:48:19,700 --> 00:48:21,980
Mike Waltz because he has been.

1438
00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:26,760
Doing back deals with Netanyahu to bomb Iran.

1439
00:48:27,260 --> 00:48:27,360
Yes.

1440
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,020
And Trump is totally against it.

1441
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:31,820
And but that's one of the reasons he

1442
00:48:31,820 --> 00:48:33,720
went to the Middle East to tell everybody

1443
00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:35,440
there that, look, we'll do it, but we

1444
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:36,180
don't want to.

1445
00:48:36,220 --> 00:48:38,220
No, well, we'll have the Saudis do it.

1446
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:39,060
We don't want to.

1447
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:40,720
But if we have, we don't want anybody

1448
00:48:40,720 --> 00:48:41,880
to do this.

1449
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:42,960
He doesn't want to.

1450
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,360
No, he doesn't want to do anything like

1451
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:45,480
that.

1452
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,620
He's more anti war than Dave Smith and

1453
00:48:47,620 --> 00:48:48,720
Scott Horton combined.

1454
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,880
So you got these guys coming out of

1455
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:52,760
the woodwork.

1456
00:48:54,700 --> 00:48:57,180
And he would include Douglas Murray in that,

1457
00:48:57,260 --> 00:48:59,560
as I discussed in that article in the

1458
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,520
newsletter that people should be subscribed to.

1459
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,760
But here is a Scott Ritter all of

1460
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,580
a sudden turning into a neocon and turning

1461
00:49:09,580 --> 00:49:13,140
on the whole administration, Trump and everybody in

1462
00:49:13,140 --> 00:49:15,140
between in a way that is just like,

1463
00:49:15,180 --> 00:49:17,120
what is wrong with this guy?

1464
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,940
Marco Rubio is a bigger traitor to Donald

1465
00:49:19,940 --> 00:49:22,940
Trump and Donald Trump's policies than Mike Pompeo

1466
00:49:22,940 --> 00:49:23,260
was.

1467
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,020
It is it is Marco Rubio that has

1468
00:49:26,020 --> 00:49:28,680
sunk the Russia policy and he's sinking the

1469
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:29,400
Iran policy.

1470
00:49:29,500 --> 00:49:32,820
He's preventing Trump from achieving the policies.

1471
00:49:32,940 --> 00:49:34,520
When I say prevent Trump, it's because Trump

1472
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:35,680
is ultimately, at the end of the day,

1473
00:49:35,980 --> 00:49:39,160
a very weak and insecure man who doesn't

1474
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,140
have what it takes to stand up, look

1475
00:49:41,140 --> 00:49:43,720
people in the eye and say, you're fired.

1476
00:49:43,980 --> 00:49:45,320
And that's what he needs to do to

1477
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,640
Marco Rubio right now, fire him, terminate his

1478
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:48,060
existence.

1479
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,060
But he took 100 million dollars from Edelman's

1480
00:49:51,060 --> 00:49:51,380
widow.

1481
00:49:51,660 --> 00:49:54,440
And, you know, gosh, he surrounded himself with

1482
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:55,200
the wrong people.

1483
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,260
But Donald Trump, this is why he's failing

1484
00:49:57,260 --> 00:49:59,160
right now because of Marco Rubio.

1485
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,520
And Marco Rubio is behind Mike Walsh being

1486
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:03,400
kicked out.

1487
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:07,120
Does Donald Trump understand what's at stake in

1488
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,220
the special military operation in Ukraine?

1489
00:50:09,740 --> 00:50:11,200
No, I don't think Donald Trump.

1490
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,460
I don't think Donald Trump can spell Russia,

1491
00:50:13,540 --> 00:50:15,600
let alone understand the complexities of Russia.

1492
00:50:15,720 --> 00:50:18,480
He certainly doesn't understand Ukraine because he is

1493
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,060
although he's a schizophrenic when it comes to

1494
00:50:21,060 --> 00:50:21,500
Zelensky.

1495
00:50:21,620 --> 00:50:23,220
One minute he rightly calls him out as

1496
00:50:23,220 --> 00:50:24,460
this irresponsible dictator.

1497
00:50:24,660 --> 00:50:26,480
The next minute he speaks about him as

1498
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,340
if he's the legitimate leader of a viable

1499
00:50:28,340 --> 00:50:29,200
nation state.

1500
00:50:29,500 --> 00:50:31,200
He doesn't know how to deal with NATO

1501
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:31,880
or Europe.

1502
00:50:32,660 --> 00:50:34,160
He's all over the place.

1503
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:35,520
And one of the reasons because of the

1504
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,480
conflicting guidance he's getting from his national security

1505
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,860
team, led by Marco Rubio, who is, you

1506
00:50:41,860 --> 00:50:44,660
know, continues to sell, you know, Europe is

1507
00:50:44,660 --> 00:50:45,740
a viable ally.

1508
00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:47,360
Europe is not our ally.

1509
00:50:48,100 --> 00:50:50,040
This is a very enlightening clip for me.

1510
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,440
The Fred freak out crew has been talking

1511
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,540
this way about Rubio for a couple of

1512
00:50:56,540 --> 00:50:59,560
weeks, which means it's in the it's in

1513
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,740
the it's in the transom is being transmitted.

1514
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:03,600
And we know exactly where that comes from.

1515
00:51:03,980 --> 00:51:04,540
Defense.

1516
00:51:05,420 --> 00:51:07,500
Former defense intelligence people.

1517
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,200
And so Rubio not to be trusted.

1518
00:51:10,540 --> 00:51:11,140
Be careful.

1519
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,320
And and our problem here, John, is that

1520
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,240
we are swimming against the tide.

1521
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,740
And the tide is you've got to be

1522
00:51:20,740 --> 00:51:24,380
against our tax dollars paying for Israel to

1523
00:51:24,380 --> 00:51:25,160
kill people.

1524
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,340
Forget our tax dollars anywhere else, killing people

1525
00:51:28,340 --> 00:51:29,840
in much larger numbers.

1526
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,420
But that is exactly what we are up

1527
00:51:33,420 --> 00:51:33,720
against.

1528
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:34,780
And that's why people like.

1529
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,580
And and I hope you go to the

1530
00:51:39,580 --> 00:51:41,460
Tucker clip next, because I listened to the

1531
00:51:41,460 --> 00:51:42,040
Dave Smith.

1532
00:51:43,900 --> 00:51:46,500
Ball spike show with Tucker.

1533
00:51:48,420 --> 00:51:51,340
And I think it was complete, a complete

1534
00:51:51,340 --> 00:51:54,020
mistake the way they analyze that conversation.

1535
00:51:54,020 --> 00:51:56,060
I'll just reiterate it very shortly.

1536
00:51:56,940 --> 00:51:59,400
Douglas Murray went there and he can't because

1537
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:00,100
Tucker's correct.

1538
00:52:00,180 --> 00:52:04,080
Douglas Murray's like a boarding school kid and

1539
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:05,740
he debates in a certain way and he

1540
00:52:05,740 --> 00:52:07,380
and he says things in a certain way

1541
00:52:07,380 --> 00:52:08,800
in that regard.

1542
00:52:09,620 --> 00:52:11,860
And but what he was saying was.

1543
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,740
We on the right and speaking for him,

1544
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:17,860
not for me, we on the right have

1545
00:52:17,860 --> 00:52:20,540
to be careful what we're saying, because the

1546
00:52:20,540 --> 00:52:22,520
kind of stuff that we're talking about with

1547
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:26,140
Israel leads to Jew hate.

1548
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:27,900
That's what he was trying to say.

1549
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,040
And he just couldn't say it that way

1550
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,100
because he knew that, you know, I'm Jewish,

1551
00:52:33,580 --> 00:52:35,140
you know, everyone, Scott Horton, I'm Jewish.

1552
00:52:35,620 --> 00:52:36,800
That's not the point.

1553
00:52:37,340 --> 00:52:39,820
The point is, that's what's going on.

1554
00:52:40,060 --> 00:52:43,120
That is the narrative, regardless of what our

1555
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,640
tax dollars are doing in every other nook

1556
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,160
and cranny of the world, killing many more

1557
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:48,620
people.

1558
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,900
That's the narrative which is based on the

1559
00:52:51,900 --> 00:52:55,940
whole Whitney Webb conspiracy bull crap that Israel

1560
00:52:55,940 --> 00:52:58,880
has the goods on everybody and that this

1561
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,860
is why we don't have the Epstein papers,

1562
00:53:00,860 --> 00:53:03,200
because we'll find out that the entire Congress

1563
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,320
and Senate and everybody's being blackmailed for for

1564
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:07,200
kiddie fiddling.

1565
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,160
You know, is there some of that?

1566
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:09,800
No doubt.

1567
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:11,320
But is that rampant?

1568
00:53:11,380 --> 00:53:13,380
No, it's the other way around.

1569
00:53:13,380 --> 00:53:17,780
We control Israel, as is witnessed by President

1570
00:53:17,780 --> 00:53:19,280
Trump doing a deal with the Houthis.

1571
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:20,780
Hey, stop bombing our ships.

1572
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:22,260
Do whatever you want to Israel.

1573
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,280
It's the other way around.

1574
00:53:25,340 --> 00:53:27,500
And people are just they can't stand us

1575
00:53:27,500 --> 00:53:28,120
for it, John.

1576
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:29,080
That's the problem.

1577
00:53:29,260 --> 00:53:29,860
That is it.

1578
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:31,640
That's the only thing.

1579
00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:34,160
What else am I going to do?

1580
00:53:35,100 --> 00:53:36,200
What else am I going to do?

1581
00:53:36,500 --> 00:53:39,740
So no, I'm not going to play the

1582
00:53:39,740 --> 00:53:42,240
Dave because the Dave Smith clips are not

1583
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:43,340
about what you just said.

1584
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,000
I think you summarized it beautifully.

1585
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,000
OK, I do have some Trump in the

1586
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,700
Middle East analysis clips that bring in all

1587
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:53,500
kinds of interesting information that nobody discussed.

1588
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,160
And I think it's all good stuff.

1589
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,140
This is NTD, I'm presuming.

1590
00:53:57,860 --> 00:54:00,580
Yes, because I have to say this NTD,

1591
00:54:00,740 --> 00:54:03,180
they bring in these experts and they go

1592
00:54:03,180 --> 00:54:06,520
back and forth with Tiffany and they really

1593
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,660
bring out a lot of stuff that other

1594
00:54:08,660 --> 00:54:11,780
analysts on other shows and Fox and all

1595
00:54:11,780 --> 00:54:14,440
the rest and Fox is really shallow, which

1596
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,340
is what the Dave Smith clips about, by

1597
00:54:16,340 --> 00:54:16,680
the way.

1598
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:18,420
I'm sorry, I have to interject one more

1599
00:54:18,420 --> 00:54:19,980
thing and then I'll be quiet about it

1600
00:54:19,980 --> 00:54:20,220
because.

1601
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,580
No, if you're on a roll on this

1602
00:54:22,580 --> 00:54:23,920
topic, so keep talking.

1603
00:54:24,100 --> 00:54:26,520
OK, so again, I can see in the

1604
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:26,900
troll room.

1605
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,600
OK, so we control Israel by having an

1606
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,720
Israeli handler for every one of our congressmen.

1607
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:32,700
It's AIPAC, man.

1608
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,820
OK, I'll say it to you one more

1609
00:54:34,820 --> 00:54:35,460
time.

1610
00:54:36,060 --> 00:54:37,200
Follow the money.

1611
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:41,040
AIPAC gets its money from the American Israeli

1612
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,680
Education Foundation.

1613
00:54:44,460 --> 00:54:47,200
Yeah, there's some rich Jews and American Jews

1614
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:48,320
who donate to that.

1615
00:54:48,500 --> 00:54:50,580
But the bulk of the money that goes

1616
00:54:50,580 --> 00:54:54,260
to AIPAC is all from military contractors.

1617
00:54:54,980 --> 00:54:56,740
It's Raytheon, it's Boeing.

1618
00:54:57,460 --> 00:55:02,900
AIPAC is a military industrial complex system that

1619
00:55:02,900 --> 00:55:04,820
that's where the money is coming from, not

1620
00:55:04,820 --> 00:55:05,620
from Israel.

1621
00:55:05,860 --> 00:55:08,580
It's coming from our own companies who want

1622
00:55:08,580 --> 00:55:12,480
to are our congressmen and senators controlled by

1623
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:13,980
the military industrial complex.

1624
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:15,500
Hello, Eisenhower.

1625
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,320
Yes, of course they are.

1626
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,840
And the few that go against it.

1627
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,680
I see you guy from Missouri whose wife

1628
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:24,800
died all of a sudden.

1629
00:55:26,240 --> 00:55:29,040
After he told everybody exactly how it worked.

1630
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,140
It is not Israel that's controlling our Congress.

1631
00:55:32,140 --> 00:55:35,840
It is the it is the contractors, the

1632
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,440
big military industrial complex.

1633
00:55:38,620 --> 00:55:39,920
Where does the term come from?

1634
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,380
From the warning President Eisenhower gave to us.

1635
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:45,480
That's the warning.

1636
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,800
He didn't say, watch out for Israel.

1637
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:48,780
They're going to get us.

1638
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:49,900
They're going to control us.

1639
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:53,780
No, you're being fooled by AIPAC nonsense.

1640
00:55:54,500 --> 00:55:55,320
All right, I'm done.

1641
00:55:56,180 --> 00:55:57,740
I got to say, I just got to

1642
00:55:57,740 --> 00:55:58,060
reiterate.

1643
00:55:58,160 --> 00:55:59,720
No, we were wrong before.

1644
00:55:59,820 --> 00:56:01,060
We've said it before.

1645
00:56:02,140 --> 00:56:03,540
And we say it again.

1646
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,560
And I'm sorry, Massey from Kentucky.

1647
00:56:06,740 --> 00:56:07,060
I'm sorry.

1648
00:56:07,180 --> 00:56:07,780
Yeah, Massey.

1649
00:56:07,940 --> 00:56:08,540
Poor Massey.

1650
00:56:09,460 --> 00:56:11,560
And he just keeps, he's oblivious.

1651
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,280
He's a good guy.

1652
00:56:13,420 --> 00:56:16,300
And he said exactly how it works.

1653
00:56:16,660 --> 00:56:18,780
And everyone took that to be Israel's got

1654
00:56:18,780 --> 00:56:19,220
the goods.

1655
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,400
No, they will primary you.

1656
00:56:21,500 --> 00:56:22,500
How do they primary you?

1657
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:23,360
With lots of money.

1658
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:24,460
Where does the money come from?

1659
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:25,740
Follow the money.

1660
00:56:26,100 --> 00:56:28,420
American-Israeli Education Foundation.

1661
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,940
Look at the 10 at the form 990s.

1662
00:56:31,940 --> 00:56:32,660
Look at the money.

1663
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:33,240
It's Boeing.

1664
00:56:33,420 --> 00:56:34,060
It's Raytheon.

1665
00:56:34,220 --> 00:56:36,440
It's the huge military contractors.

1666
00:56:36,700 --> 00:56:38,220
That's the problem.

1667
00:56:42,820 --> 00:56:43,080
Yes.

1668
00:56:43,220 --> 00:56:44,120
Let's do some analysis.

1669
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,780
Let's go to the analysis from NTD.

1670
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,980
Progress report on President Trump's first trip to

1671
00:56:51,980 --> 00:56:52,560
the Middle East.

1672
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,740
Like much of his presidency, it involves a

1673
00:56:54,740 --> 00:56:55,960
lot of deals and surprises.

1674
00:56:56,240 --> 00:56:58,320
One of which was his meeting today with

1675
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,760
Syria's leader, a former member of Al Qaeda,

1676
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,440
urging him to normalize relations with Israel.

1677
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,760
That happened after Trump announced he would lift

1678
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,100
sanctions on Syria.

1679
00:57:07,580 --> 00:57:10,000
His actions are even drawing some support from

1680
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,220
congressional Democrats.

1681
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,180
Joining me now to discuss all of this

1682
00:57:13,180 --> 00:57:15,740
is David Wormser, Middle East Affairs Analyst at

1683
00:57:15,740 --> 00:57:18,100
the Center for Security Policy and Foreign Policy

1684
00:57:18,100 --> 00:57:18,780
Specialist.

1685
00:57:18,860 --> 00:57:20,020
Oh, it sounds like a spook.

1686
00:57:20,140 --> 00:57:21,240
What kind of guy is this?

1687
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:23,300
How come we don't have one of these

1688
00:57:23,300 --> 00:57:23,960
operations?

1689
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,040
The Center for Security Policy.

1690
00:57:27,260 --> 00:57:27,460
Yeah.

1691
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:27,920
Okay.

1692
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:29,600
David, thank you so much for joining us.

1693
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,860
A slew of developments coming out of Trump's

1694
00:57:31,860 --> 00:57:34,180
Middle East trip, as mentioned above, Trump's lifting

1695
00:57:34,180 --> 00:57:36,280
sanctions on Syria and met with the current

1696
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,000
leader who calls himself a reformed terrorist.

1697
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,900
How big of a change in diplomacy is

1698
00:57:41,900 --> 00:57:42,840
this on Trump's part?

1699
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:44,120
What are his goals here?

1700
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:45,940
Well, I think he did it somewhat as

1701
00:57:45,940 --> 00:57:47,300
a favor to the Saudis.

1702
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,100
The Saudis really were pushing for this.

1703
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,860
And there wasn't an overarching reason that he

1704
00:57:53,860 --> 00:57:57,260
saw to completely stiff the Saudis on it.

1705
00:57:57,260 --> 00:58:00,560
So while there's grave reservations, and those are,

1706
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,480
first of all, his terrorist past, Shara, the

1707
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,620
leader of Syria's terrorist past, number one.

1708
00:58:06,660 --> 00:58:08,680
And number two, the fact that Syria is

1709
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:10,700
a divided country, it's not unified.

1710
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,560
So when Trump met Shara, he essentially said,

1711
00:58:14,620 --> 00:58:16,140
listen, I'm willing to work with you.

1712
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,240
He said it in very diplomatic ways, and

1713
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:19,720
it was very kind.

1714
00:58:19,780 --> 00:58:21,220
But he said, listen, I'll work with you,

1715
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:22,560
but you've got to put your country together

1716
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,000
and you're on probation.

1717
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,560
So he did lift the sanctions, but they

1718
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,320
can be reimposed if necessary.

1719
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,820
So I think this was more what he

1720
00:58:31,820 --> 00:58:33,020
was giving the Saudis.

1721
00:58:33,660 --> 00:58:36,160
And he walked into something he may have

1722
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:37,520
realized, he may not have realized.

1723
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:38,240
I'm not sure.

1724
00:58:38,580 --> 00:58:41,940
But it was really a very aggressive power

1725
00:58:41,940 --> 00:58:44,880
play by the Saudis against the Qataris, who

1726
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:46,900
are at strategic odds with each other.

1727
00:58:47,260 --> 00:58:50,240
This was really in the backdrop to this.

1728
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,820
The backstory to this is the Saudis were

1729
00:58:52,820 --> 00:58:55,780
trying to outdance the Qataris.

1730
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:56,880
Wow.

1731
00:58:57,940 --> 00:58:58,300
Yes.

1732
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:00,620
Well, President Trump is genius.

1733
00:59:00,900 --> 00:59:02,700
Hey, I'm going to go get money from

1734
00:59:02,700 --> 00:59:03,580
all these guys.

1735
00:59:03,780 --> 00:59:05,120
Oh, no, this is what you, this is

1736
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:05,500
sales.

1737
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,660
Yeah, it's- They used to, PC Magazine

1738
00:59:07,660 --> 00:59:10,120
sales guys I used to work with, I

1739
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,860
mean, I never got to deals or anything,

1740
00:59:12,980 --> 00:59:14,460
but I used to always take sales training

1741
00:59:14,460 --> 00:59:15,640
and try to see what they were up

1742
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:16,680
to, because it was interesting.

1743
00:59:16,820 --> 00:59:18,680
And one of the publishers said, well, yeah,

1744
00:59:18,740 --> 00:59:19,680
here's what I like to do.

1745
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,340
You got these two computer companies and you

1746
00:59:22,340 --> 00:59:24,660
say, you go into one of them and

1747
00:59:24,660 --> 00:59:27,220
you say, look how much your competition's going

1748
00:59:27,220 --> 00:59:29,500
to spend on advertising this next quarter.

1749
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:30,380
Yes, that's what you do.

1750
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:31,520
Yes.

1751
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,820
You're not going to let them outspend you,

1752
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:34,120
are you?

1753
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:35,160
I forgot to look.

1754
00:59:35,220 --> 00:59:37,300
Was President Trump wearing his brown shoes?

1755
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,260
I don't know, but he wore the purple

1756
00:59:41,260 --> 00:59:44,600
tie, which is very rare in Saudi Arabia.

1757
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:45,680
This is a tip.

1758
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,200
And then he goes to, when he goes

1759
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:52,060
to Qatar, he goes and he compliments the

1760
00:59:52,060 --> 00:59:53,780
two guys and he keeps bringing in Ben

1761
00:59:53,780 --> 00:59:54,520
Salman's name.

1762
00:59:54,940 --> 00:59:57,220
And the thing is that anyone who follows

1763
00:59:57,220 --> 00:59:59,600
this closely, they hate each other.

1764
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:00,400
Yeah, of course.

1765
01:00:01,180 --> 01:00:03,380
And so Trump is playing it, you know,

1766
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,900
and he's just having, he must be amusing

1767
01:00:05,900 --> 01:00:06,940
the hell out of himself.

1768
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,280
But I like this guy's analysis that it

1769
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,420
was Ben Salman that got Trump to, hey,

1770
01:00:11,540 --> 01:00:13,920
I want meet the guy from Syria.

1771
01:00:14,060 --> 01:00:15,940
Maybe you can fix, you know, patch that

1772
01:00:15,940 --> 01:00:17,480
up.

1773
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:19,240
And that's what he did.

1774
01:00:20,420 --> 01:00:22,680
Ben Salman's a more powerful guy than in

1775
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:23,400
this whole picture.

1776
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:27,980
You mean Prince Bonesaw?

1777
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:29,200
Bonesaw.

1778
01:00:29,460 --> 01:00:31,240
Bonesaw's pretty, pretty talented.

1779
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:32,880
I love how they think that that guy,

1780
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:37,120
like Ben Salman himself, saw Saad Khashoggi in

1781
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,280
little bits and pieces.

1782
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:39,280
Yeah, I'm sure.

1783
01:00:39,460 --> 01:00:40,040
I'm sure of it.

1784
01:00:40,500 --> 01:00:42,900
You're following the mainstream narrative, people.

1785
01:00:46,180 --> 01:00:46,940
Yeah, let's go on.

1786
01:00:47,580 --> 01:00:49,080
I have five of these.

1787
01:00:49,220 --> 01:00:50,100
Yeah, OK, we'll move on.

1788
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:50,900
I want to get to that.

1789
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,620
But first, how likely are we to see

1790
01:00:52,620 --> 01:00:55,100
Syria sign on to the Abraham Accords?

1791
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,000
I don't think it's going to be very

1792
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,260
time soon, very soon.

1793
01:01:00,300 --> 01:01:02,780
First of all, Syria, the government only controls

1794
01:01:02,780 --> 01:01:04,120
40 percent of the country.

1795
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:04,920
Number one.

1796
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:05,420
Number two.

1797
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:06,200
Number one.

1798
01:01:06,260 --> 01:01:06,720
Number two.

1799
01:01:06,820 --> 01:01:07,440
Number one.

1800
01:01:07,500 --> 01:01:07,920
Number two.

1801
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:09,500
OK, stop the clip.

1802
01:01:10,700 --> 01:01:11,420
I'm stopping.

1803
01:01:11,620 --> 01:01:13,440
I am sick and tired.

1804
01:01:13,660 --> 01:01:14,720
This started with Biden.

1805
01:01:14,860 --> 01:01:15,620
I'm sick and tired.

1806
01:01:15,700 --> 01:01:17,360
You start to hear it all the time.

1807
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:17,820
Number one.

1808
01:01:17,940 --> 01:01:18,380
Number two.

1809
01:01:18,620 --> 01:01:20,520
Yes, I'm hearing it on Fox.

1810
01:01:20,620 --> 01:01:24,840
I'm hearing it from Emily Campagno.

1811
01:01:25,060 --> 01:01:27,240
I'm hearing it from Gutfeld.

1812
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:27,880
Everybody.

1813
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:29,060
Number one.

1814
01:01:29,180 --> 01:01:29,640
Number two.

1815
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:30,380
Number one.

1816
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:30,960
Number two.

1817
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:31,680
Number one.

1818
01:01:31,780 --> 01:01:32,300
Number two.

1819
01:01:32,540 --> 01:01:33,600
I'm sick of it.

1820
01:01:34,580 --> 01:01:35,440
I'm with you.

1821
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,640
First or well, first of all, there's a

1822
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:40,720
million things you can say.

1823
01:01:40,860 --> 01:01:41,580
They're number one.

1824
01:01:41,660 --> 01:01:42,160
Number two.

1825
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,200
Well, it's because these people all got a

1826
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:45,940
briefing, a memo, and it had little numbers

1827
01:01:45,940 --> 01:01:46,420
next to it.

1828
01:01:46,500 --> 01:01:46,800
One.

1829
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:47,700
Say this.

1830
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:48,100
Two.

1831
01:01:48,220 --> 01:01:48,940
Say that.

1832
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:50,840
OK, that's number one.

1833
01:01:51,020 --> 01:01:51,980
And what was number two?

1834
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:52,920
I got number two.

1835
01:01:53,020 --> 01:01:53,860
Number two was this.

1836
01:01:53,940 --> 01:01:55,180
That's what's happening there.

1837
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:55,880
Number one.

1838
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:56,380
Number two.

1839
01:01:56,500 --> 01:01:57,160
Number one.

1840
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:57,680
Number two.

1841
01:01:57,780 --> 01:01:58,380
Number one.

1842
01:01:58,460 --> 01:01:58,880
Number two.

1843
01:01:58,940 --> 01:02:01,300
The minorities are gravitating toward Israel.

1844
01:02:01,300 --> 01:02:04,440
So there's some tension between Syria and Israel

1845
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:05,740
over the minorities.

1846
01:02:05,980 --> 01:02:08,260
The Israelis are protecting now the Christians to

1847
01:02:08,260 --> 01:02:10,880
some extent, certainly the Druze and some of

1848
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:11,380
the others.

1849
01:02:12,100 --> 01:02:14,220
So I think it's a long time coming

1850
01:02:14,220 --> 01:02:17,980
before Syria is put together and Syria is

1851
01:02:17,980 --> 01:02:20,460
in a comfortable state to deal with Israel.

1852
01:02:20,780 --> 01:02:23,620
Then you have the strategic overlay where Syria

1853
01:02:23,620 --> 01:02:25,700
is part of a larger strategic battle.

1854
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:27,760
And that may be more the key to

1855
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,100
what drives the Abraham Accords in the long

1856
01:02:30,100 --> 01:02:30,240
run.

1857
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,780
But for the moment, Syria is way too

1858
01:02:32,780 --> 01:02:35,440
much of a political football to initiate and

1859
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:37,180
join those accords.

1860
01:02:37,420 --> 01:02:40,740
Where is someone talking about the son-in

1861
01:02:40,740 --> 01:02:43,600
-law, Jared?

1862
01:02:44,100 --> 01:02:45,860
Hasn't anyone brought up Jared yet?

1863
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,020
Jared's been completely out of this.

1864
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:48,820
Jared has.

1865
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,960
Oh, Jared's taken a billion dollars from the

1866
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:51,320
Saudis.

1867
01:02:51,460 --> 01:02:52,680
Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared.

1868
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:53,540
Another Jew.

1869
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:54,420
Jared the Jew.

1870
01:02:58,460 --> 01:03:00,240
Somebody should ask the question, where's Jared?

1871
01:03:02,300 --> 01:03:02,900
Hereby asked.

1872
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:03,760
But nobody does.

1873
01:03:03,860 --> 01:03:04,600
No, of course not.

1874
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,240
With Trump's Middle East trip, how do you

1875
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,060
see this fitting in with his strategy for

1876
01:03:09,060 --> 01:03:10,060
dealing with Iran?

1877
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:12,160
Because, for instance, we heard in Trump's speech

1878
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,280
with the Saudis that he doesn't believe in

1879
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,680
permanent enemies, signaling a softening on Tehran, but

1880
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,760
reiterating that the U.S. will not allow

1881
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:21,060
it to have a nuclear weapon.

1882
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:22,040
How are you reading that?

1883
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:23,540
Yeah, it's a great question.

1884
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:26,020
I think what happened here is that there's

1885
01:03:26,020 --> 01:03:27,720
a number of reasons why he went to

1886
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:28,860
Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

1887
01:03:28,980 --> 01:03:30,780
UAE is kind of with Saudi Arabia.

1888
01:03:31,340 --> 01:03:35,020
So by bringing Qatar and Saudi Arabia into

1889
01:03:35,020 --> 01:03:37,280
this happy family, and again, I think in

1890
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,520
the long run, it's not such a happy

1891
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:39,900
family.

1892
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:41,660
I think Qatar and Saudi Arabia have two

1893
01:03:41,660 --> 01:03:44,660
very different agendas and are not very friendly

1894
01:03:44,660 --> 01:03:45,500
to each other.

1895
01:03:45,900 --> 01:03:48,880
But nevertheless, the strategy here, I think, was

1896
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,460
if you get Qatar and Saudi Arabia, you

1897
01:03:51,460 --> 01:03:53,740
pull them out of the Chinese orbit, which

1898
01:03:53,740 --> 01:03:54,760
is protecting Iran.

1899
01:03:55,260 --> 01:03:58,120
You pull them away from Iran, and you

1900
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:01,140
essentially isolate Iran in the region.

1901
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,500
And when you isolate Iran in the region,

1902
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,340
and then if you impose sanctions, Iran really

1903
01:04:06,340 --> 01:04:08,260
starts facing binary choices.

1904
01:04:08,500 --> 01:04:08,960
You're alone.

1905
01:04:09,420 --> 01:04:10,360
You're sanctioned.

1906
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:11,280
You're blockaded.

1907
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,240
The Chinese can't help you.

1908
01:04:13,540 --> 01:04:15,900
The rest of the region's abandoned you, and

1909
01:04:15,900 --> 01:04:17,760
the Israelis are about to come after you.

1910
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:18,680
So you have a choice.

1911
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,180
Give up your nuclear program and join this

1912
01:04:21,180 --> 01:04:25,820
happy family or pursue that, but then you're

1913
01:04:25,820 --> 01:04:26,920
going to face the consequences.

1914
01:04:27,340 --> 01:04:29,480
So I think that's really the Iran strategy

1915
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:30,620
behind some of this.

1916
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,120
Yes, yeah, of course.

1917
01:04:34,580 --> 01:04:35,380
Give it up, Iran.

1918
01:04:36,140 --> 01:04:37,680
And it's not the Iranian people.

1919
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:39,020
You know, this is another thing.

1920
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,080
I'm so tired.

1921
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:45,080
You know, I was tired of now.

1922
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,120
I was talking to some Fred Freakout people,

1923
01:04:48,020 --> 01:04:54,220
and I'm like, you know, Trump's abandoning Israel.

1924
01:04:54,500 --> 01:04:54,940
What do you mean?

1925
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,100
Well, he's no longer talking to Netanyahu.

1926
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:58,900
Netanyahu is not Israel.

1927
01:04:59,060 --> 01:04:59,780
It's Netanyahu.

1928
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,000
Now, Iran is not all the Iranian people.

1929
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,740
Iran is actually pretty cool looking these days.

1930
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:06,720
It's modern.

1931
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:08,860
People aren't wearing the hijabs anymore.

1932
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,480
Women are walking around in skirts, showing their

1933
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:13,040
ankles.

1934
01:05:13,740 --> 01:05:17,800
You know, Russia, Russia is not, it's Putin.

1935
01:05:18,060 --> 01:05:19,100
You have a problem with Putin.

1936
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,180
This is all dumb.

1937
01:05:21,900 --> 01:05:23,360
It's completely dumb.

1938
01:05:23,620 --> 01:05:27,260
And the people just sit around, go, what

1939
01:05:27,260 --> 01:05:28,200
are they feeding me?

1940
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:29,360
Let me eat it all up.

1941
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,760
The Jews, I got it.

1942
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:35,460
They're running the world, man.

1943
01:05:38,420 --> 01:05:41,040
Yeah, this all started when we got rid

1944
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:42,060
of no agenda social.

1945
01:05:42,060 --> 01:05:43,420
This is when it all started.

1946
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:45,960
This is when we would start on the

1947
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:46,820
downhill slope.

1948
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:49,220
Because we got rid of them.

1949
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,700
You mean when it formed?

1950
01:05:51,420 --> 01:05:52,100
No, no, no.

1951
01:05:52,180 --> 01:05:55,440
When they pulled the plug, that's, I call

1952
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:56,220
that getting rid of them.

1953
01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:57,520
When they pulled the plug, I didn't pull

1954
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:57,960
any plug.

1955
01:05:58,080 --> 01:05:59,980
When they pulled the plug, that's when people

1956
01:05:59,980 --> 01:06:02,140
know those guys, they're all in on Israel.

1957
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:02,980
They're getting checks.

1958
01:06:03,740 --> 01:06:05,760
They know where their bread is buttered.

1959
01:06:06,220 --> 01:06:08,540
We are going against everything we've always gone

1960
01:06:08,540 --> 01:06:08,880
against.

1961
01:06:08,940 --> 01:06:10,800
And we've been right every single time.

1962
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:12,080
Oh, no, we're always right.

1963
01:06:12,620 --> 01:06:14,340
COVID, Ukraine, everything.

1964
01:06:14,820 --> 01:06:16,220
When Ukraine started, we're like, no.

1965
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:17,820
People are like, you're horrible.

1966
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:19,280
Look at my Ukraine flag.

1967
01:06:19,460 --> 01:06:22,020
Oh, we lost a lot of audience because

1968
01:06:22,020 --> 01:06:22,460
of Ukraine.

1969
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:23,920
Yeah, yeah.

1970
01:06:23,940 --> 01:06:24,800
They're all in on this.

1971
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:25,320
But you know what?

1972
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,400
We're not, we don't have that quirky face

1973
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:28,280
like Whitney Webb.

1974
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:29,880
The little face.

1975
01:06:29,940 --> 01:06:30,700
We don't live in Chile.

1976
01:06:30,900 --> 01:06:32,760
And we can't talk about, you know, how

1977
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:33,580
it's the Jews.

1978
01:06:33,820 --> 01:06:36,280
And it goes back to, you know, all

1979
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:37,500
the rich Jews.

1980
01:06:37,860 --> 01:06:42,140
And then Palantir, Palantir and Elon Musk, they're

1981
01:06:42,140 --> 01:06:43,740
all going to control us.

1982
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:50,560
Your Honor, you did get your gigawatt coffee.

1983
01:06:51,380 --> 01:06:51,840
I did.

1984
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:53,860
Yes, I did get the gigawatt coffee.

1985
01:06:54,060 --> 01:06:55,880
And we also got some decaf for Tina,

1986
01:06:55,980 --> 01:06:57,160
which I did not drink.

1987
01:06:58,720 --> 01:06:59,560
That's obvious.

1988
01:07:00,860 --> 01:07:02,600
But this is important stuff.

1989
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,240
Because you and I have other things to

1990
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:06,940
do if people are not going to listen

1991
01:07:06,940 --> 01:07:07,440
to us.

1992
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:10,180
I don't know what, but we'll find something.

1993
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:12,180
We'll find something to do.

1994
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,240
I would normally try to stop you from

1995
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:16,780
this never-ending lament.

1996
01:07:16,940 --> 01:07:17,780
Yeah, but you're not.

1997
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:18,600
But you're not.

1998
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,020
Well, no, it's because I'm reminded of another

1999
01:07:21,020 --> 01:07:26,980
great evangelist, I don't want to call him

2000
01:07:26,980 --> 01:07:31,200
an evangelist, TV guy, TV religious guy, Gene

2001
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:31,860
Scott.

2002
01:07:33,100 --> 01:07:36,080
Gene Scott used to come on and complain

2003
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:37,040
and complain.

2004
01:07:37,660 --> 01:07:40,180
About not getting enough donations.

2005
01:07:40,620 --> 01:07:41,100
Exactly.

2006
01:07:41,580 --> 01:07:42,760
He would stop the show.

2007
01:07:42,940 --> 01:07:44,440
Yeah, I'm stopping this.

2008
01:07:44,540 --> 01:07:45,200
I'm walking away.

2009
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:47,160
He stopped the show.

2010
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:47,660
I'm pulling the plug.

2011
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:49,800
And he'd lower his glasses.

2012
01:07:50,020 --> 01:07:51,600
Sometimes you wear two or three pairs of

2013
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:53,360
glasses on top of each other.

2014
01:07:53,780 --> 01:07:54,560
These glasses.

2015
01:07:54,740 --> 01:07:55,460
I'm wearing them now.

2016
01:07:55,900 --> 01:07:56,620
I'm wearing them now.

2017
01:07:56,780 --> 01:07:57,420
Look, I'm lifting up one.

2018
01:07:57,420 --> 01:07:59,020
And he'd drop his glasses over his nose

2019
01:07:59,020 --> 01:08:01,180
and he looked down over the glasses and

2020
01:08:01,180 --> 01:08:03,260
he said, is this okay?

2021
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:04,660
Is this important to you?

2022
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:05,620
Does this matter?

2023
01:08:06,260 --> 01:08:07,060
You're listening?

2024
01:08:07,060 --> 01:08:07,700
You don't care?

2025
01:08:08,580 --> 01:08:09,280
And he'd go on.

2026
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:10,480
The whole show would be that.

2027
01:08:11,020 --> 01:08:12,400
I don't want the whole show to be

2028
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:13,380
that because I got more clips.

2029
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:14,320
Let's go to clip four.

2030
01:08:14,740 --> 01:08:15,819
And I want to dig into some of

2031
01:08:15,819 --> 01:08:17,680
those deals with the happy family you just

2032
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,439
mentioned, because Trump did strike a deal with

2033
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:21,200
the Saudis.

2034
01:08:21,260 --> 01:08:22,439
That's about $600 billion.

2035
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:26,040
And a $244 billion one with Qatar.

2036
01:08:26,359 --> 01:08:27,500
You just mentioned they're very different.

2037
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,840
But how significant are these two deals?

2038
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:31,700
And how do you see that changing the

2039
01:08:31,700 --> 01:08:32,660
dynamic in that region?

2040
01:08:32,740 --> 01:08:34,660
Maybe pulling away from China, for instance.

2041
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:35,880
Oh, they're very big.

2042
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,399
They really make America the economic focal point

2043
01:08:39,399 --> 01:08:43,240
of these massive economic powers, these oil powers.

2044
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:45,520
We haven't even seen yet what's going to

2045
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,439
be unveiled in the UAE in the next

2046
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:48,120
two days.

2047
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,840
But that will probably add a considerable amount

2048
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:57,779
to the total of purchases, consumption, and investment

2049
01:08:57,779 --> 01:08:59,920
in the West, and specifically in the United

2050
01:08:59,920 --> 01:09:02,540
States, America first, by these countries.

2051
01:09:02,540 --> 01:09:04,000
I think if you add it all up,

2052
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:05,560
at the end of the day, we're talking

2053
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:09,399
close to $2 trillion worth of deals and

2054
01:09:09,399 --> 01:09:12,479
investments and arms sales that will come out

2055
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:12,979
of this trip.

2056
01:09:13,060 --> 01:09:15,640
That's an awful lot of money to infuse

2057
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:16,800
in the American economy.

2058
01:09:17,300 --> 01:09:19,140
And it really helps the president with his

2059
01:09:19,140 --> 01:09:22,859
America first agenda, especially to get through the

2060
01:09:22,859 --> 01:09:26,399
immediate period of offsetting the damage done by

2061
01:09:26,399 --> 01:09:29,840
tariffs until the longer term gains of the

2062
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,760
tariffs would kick in, according to what he

2063
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:32,180
believes.

2064
01:09:32,540 --> 01:09:34,240
Oh, we move quickly to tariffs.

2065
01:09:34,359 --> 01:09:34,960
That's interesting.

2066
01:09:36,180 --> 01:09:39,600
Now, it's interesting to remember something that we,

2067
01:09:39,819 --> 01:09:43,640
because of Biden, for four years as we

2068
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:47,060
did this show, we forgot about, because before

2069
01:09:47,060 --> 01:09:49,740
Biden, we had other presidents that this show

2070
01:09:49,740 --> 01:09:50,540
has been on forever.

2071
01:09:51,279 --> 01:09:53,279
And we've noticed that one of the things

2072
01:09:53,279 --> 01:09:56,920
all the presidents do is that they're ultimately

2073
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:00,440
salesmen for the military industrial complex, and they

2074
01:10:00,440 --> 01:10:01,800
go overseas, if you remember.

2075
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:02,500
Yes.

2076
01:10:03,020 --> 01:10:04,740
All of them would go overseas and do

2077
01:10:04,740 --> 01:10:05,380
deals.

2078
01:10:05,540 --> 01:10:07,220
By the way, that's all, just to remind

2079
01:10:07,220 --> 01:10:09,360
everybody, that's all we really make.

2080
01:10:09,660 --> 01:10:11,360
Have you seen an American car recently?

2081
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:12,160
What does it look like?

2082
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:13,380
They're all militaristic looking.

2083
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:14,940
That's all we know how to make.

2084
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:15,460
War stuff.

2085
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:16,700
We make war stuff.

2086
01:10:18,100 --> 01:10:19,800
It's high margin.

2087
01:10:20,420 --> 01:10:20,640
Yes.

2088
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:22,880
Oh, war stuff is super high margin.

2089
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:23,600
Yeah.

2090
01:10:23,740 --> 01:10:24,940
So, you know, it's a winner.

2091
01:10:25,260 --> 01:10:25,400
Yeah.

2092
01:10:26,860 --> 01:10:29,300
Our presidents would always go over and do

2093
01:10:29,300 --> 01:10:29,680
these deals.

2094
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,420
Biden never did, because he couldn't sell anything.

2095
01:10:32,540 --> 01:10:33,720
This guy was lost.

2096
01:10:33,940 --> 01:10:34,920
He couldn't sell his way out of a

2097
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:35,600
paper bag.

2098
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:40,020
So we go on, and so, but Trump's

2099
01:10:40,020 --> 01:10:41,840
just, yeah, I mean, Trump, as old as

2100
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:45,160
he is, he's still a killer salesman.

2101
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,080
And that's what we have to remember.

2102
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:48,860
And this is what benefits the country.

2103
01:10:49,340 --> 01:10:51,480
It benefits the country beyond belief.

2104
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:53,980
So let's go on, no matter how much

2105
01:10:53,980 --> 01:10:55,060
they hate him.

2106
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:58,200
By the way, the TikTok clip's coming up

2107
01:10:58,200 --> 01:10:58,760
will prove that.

2108
01:10:59,060 --> 01:11:00,280
So let's go to the final clip.

2109
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,120
Zooming out a bit here during Trump's speech

2110
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,440
in Saudi Arabia, he criticized those he called

2111
01:11:05,440 --> 01:11:08,600
neocons and interventionists, saying they messed up Middle

2112
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:09,440
East policy.

2113
01:11:09,820 --> 01:11:11,240
What are your thoughts on all of that?

2114
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,360
Yeah, he's really reacting to the Iraq war

2115
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:17,240
and especially not just knocking Saddam out, which

2116
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,180
had its own strategic issues, but there were

2117
01:11:19,180 --> 01:11:19,980
ways to do it.

2118
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:21,660
What he's really reacting to is that we

2119
01:11:21,660 --> 01:11:25,120
sat there after the war, occupied Iraq and

2120
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:27,580
had sort of a, we had a nation

2121
01:11:27,580 --> 01:11:31,760
building presence trying to rebuild Iraq, which became

2122
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,920
kind of an endless bogged down situation.

2123
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,620
The Iranians and Syrians were taking potshots at

2124
01:11:38,620 --> 01:11:41,160
us there, and we lost four or five

2125
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,960
thousand soldiers doing this, which is a horrific

2126
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:45,660
price.

2127
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:47,660
And I think that's what he's really reacting

2128
01:11:47,660 --> 01:11:47,980
to.

2129
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,100
Even if you have to do something, do

2130
01:11:50,100 --> 01:11:52,320
it like what you did just now in

2131
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:52,940
Yemen.

2132
01:11:52,940 --> 01:11:55,200
You go in, you send a signal, you

2133
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,440
destroy the enemy or you make it clear

2134
01:11:57,440 --> 01:11:59,140
to one there's a huge price to pay

2135
01:11:59,140 --> 01:12:01,600
being in conflict with the United States.

2136
01:12:01,660 --> 01:12:04,160
But don't go in, take over the country,

2137
01:12:04,380 --> 01:12:06,920
have a semi-colonial presence to rebuild it

2138
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,140
and take responsibility for the country.

2139
01:12:09,300 --> 01:12:11,840
It's much more important to let them do

2140
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:13,720
that, let the Iranians do it, let the

2141
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:15,700
Iraqis do it, let the Yemenis do it.

2142
01:12:16,020 --> 01:12:18,160
It's just something America can't do in that

2143
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:18,480
region.

2144
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:20,080
We're not Middle Eastern and we don't play

2145
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:20,820
that game well.

2146
01:12:20,820 --> 01:12:23,040
And we stop playing that game because we

2147
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:27,120
can't motivate a single smart young American person

2148
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,540
to go over there and die for this

2149
01:12:29,540 --> 01:12:30,580
nonsense anymore.

2150
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:31,660
We're not going to do it.

2151
01:12:32,180 --> 01:12:33,900
This is why we have Israel.

2152
01:12:34,580 --> 01:12:35,480
Let them do it.

2153
01:12:35,820 --> 01:12:37,460
This is why we have Saudi Arabia.

2154
01:12:37,900 --> 01:12:39,620
Let them do it and let them pay

2155
01:12:39,620 --> 01:12:41,480
to do it by buying our stuff.

2156
01:12:42,020 --> 01:12:44,400
They have ideological problems.

2157
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,000
That is the region that they live in.

2158
01:12:47,100 --> 01:12:48,900
That's the world they live in.

2159
01:12:50,380 --> 01:12:53,500
Trump's long-winded speech in Saudi Arabia.

2160
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:54,260
It was very interesting.

2161
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:55,380
It was kind of interesting.

2162
01:12:55,900 --> 01:12:56,980
It was a very good speech.

2163
01:12:57,060 --> 01:12:58,920
It got no coverage by the mainstream media,

2164
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:00,000
but it was quite good.

2165
01:13:00,060 --> 01:13:01,140
It was well written.

2166
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,320
It was too long, as usual, because it's

2167
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:05,200
just the way it is.

2168
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:06,280
You put up with it.

2169
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:08,860
By the way, I'm reminded of, I was

2170
01:13:08,860 --> 01:13:10,800
thinking about this because the speech was on

2171
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:11,240
forever.

2172
01:13:11,440 --> 01:13:12,360
It was a long one.

2173
01:13:12,900 --> 01:13:13,500
And I remember.

2174
01:13:14,420 --> 01:13:16,340
When he puts his arm down, he's leaning

2175
01:13:16,340 --> 01:13:18,400
on his elbow, reading the teleprompter, you know,

2176
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:19,780
oh, we're in for a long one.

2177
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:21,360
This is going to be a long speech,

2178
01:13:21,480 --> 01:13:21,820
isn't it?

2179
01:13:21,900 --> 01:13:24,460
And so I'm reminded the first time I

2180
01:13:24,460 --> 01:13:25,160
went to China.

2181
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:28,180
We went to the mainland.

2182
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:30,860
I've been to Taiwan and I've been to

2183
01:13:30,860 --> 01:13:32,340
Hong Kong, but I never was in China

2184
01:13:32,340 --> 01:13:32,720
itself.

2185
01:13:32,780 --> 01:13:35,020
And the first time I went there, the

2186
01:13:35,020 --> 01:13:38,260
government came out and gave us, we're a

2187
01:13:38,260 --> 01:13:41,920
bunch of touring journalists or managers.

2188
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,260
We couldn't put the word journalist on the

2189
01:13:44,260 --> 01:13:46,740
passport because they didn't like that.

2190
01:13:47,380 --> 01:13:49,280
So if you go to China, you're always

2191
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:49,760
a manager.

2192
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:53,860
So there's these guys that would come out

2193
01:13:53,860 --> 01:13:55,240
and start lecturing us.

2194
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:57,960
And it was like a Chinese harangue.

2195
01:13:58,040 --> 01:13:59,540
It was going on forever.

2196
01:13:59,740 --> 01:14:01,240
I mean, it was like you wanted to

2197
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:01,860
shoot yourself.

2198
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:03,380
It's yak, yak, yak, yak.

2199
01:14:03,540 --> 01:14:06,620
And that's what, for some reason, this is

2200
01:14:06,620 --> 01:14:07,680
Trump style.

2201
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:09,260
Oh, interesting.

2202
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,280
You can't take it after a while.

2203
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:12,780
It's like, just end it, man.

2204
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:13,700
But I'm with you.

2205
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:14,560
Where do I sign?

2206
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:16,160
Let me buy that.

2207
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:18,300
It's part of it.

2208
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:19,060
Where do I sign?

2209
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:20,760
You've worn me down, salesman.

2210
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:22,440
You've worn me down.

2211
01:14:23,020 --> 01:14:27,160
Well, actually, interestingly enough, if we can move

2212
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:28,740
away from the Middle East for a second,

2213
01:14:30,500 --> 01:14:36,260
the sales continue in the EU.

2214
01:14:37,380 --> 01:14:41,920
And our boy Mark Rutte, Mark, has paid

2215
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:42,240
off.

2216
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:44,860
Germany has now come out and said, yep,

2217
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:48,080
we're going to push it to 5%

2218
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:49,700
for NATO defense spending.

2219
01:14:51,380 --> 01:14:55,340
That was the ask, continuously, 5%.

2220
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:57,740
And Germany just said, when does this come

2221
01:14:57,740 --> 01:14:58,860
out, this announcement?

2222
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:00,340
I think it came out.

2223
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:01,860
I'm crediting Rutte.

2224
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:04,000
Well, of course, Rutte did it.

2225
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,680
Here, German Foreign Minister Johann Waderspul said the

2226
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:10,140
country was backing US President Donald Trump's call

2227
01:15:10,140 --> 01:15:12,120
to increase the defense spending target of NATO

2228
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:13,500
members to 5%.

2229
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:20,140
Before Trump, before Trump in 2016, they weren't

2230
01:15:20,140 --> 01:15:21,220
even putting up to 2%.

2231
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:22,060
Yep.

2232
01:15:22,420 --> 01:15:24,040
Well, now they got the go-ahead from

2233
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,100
Queen Ursula that they can borrow the money.

2234
01:15:26,580 --> 01:15:28,200
So like, okay, we can borrow the money.

2235
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:28,820
We're good to go.

2236
01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:29,380
Let's do it.

2237
01:15:30,440 --> 01:15:32,740
And just to give him the props, here

2238
01:15:32,740 --> 01:15:34,660
is the obligatory marketer to clip.

2239
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:37,640
I really want to welcome you to Antalya

2240
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:40,260
for this important foreign ministers meeting.

2241
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:43,160
And I want to thank our colleague from

2242
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:43,480
Turkey.

2243
01:15:44,270 --> 01:15:45,060
Really, Hakan.

2244
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:46,740
He can't say.

2245
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:48,760
So in Dutch, it's Turkey.

2246
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,100
But he can't say Turkey for some reason.

2247
01:15:52,220 --> 01:15:52,880
So he says, Turkey.

2248
01:15:53,180 --> 01:15:55,140
Our colleague from Turkey.

2249
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,380
Really, Hakan, thank you so much for making

2250
01:15:58,380 --> 01:16:00,460
this possible and the hospitality.

2251
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:01,480
It is really amazing.

2252
01:16:01,540 --> 01:16:02,960
Oh, it's amazing hospitality.

2253
01:16:03,340 --> 01:16:04,280
It was just great.

2254
01:16:04,380 --> 01:16:05,880
I had cookies in my room.

2255
01:16:06,420 --> 01:16:08,640
We will have a very important meeting today

2256
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,400
in the run-up to the summit in

2257
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:11,940
The Hague.

2258
01:16:11,940 --> 01:16:12,920
Oh, The Hague.

2259
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:14,440
You know what's happening in The Hague.

2260
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:15,800
The Hague is my home country.

2261
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:17,400
This is where we're going to have our

2262
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:18,440
big, big meeting.

2263
01:16:18,580 --> 01:16:19,700
And you know what it's going to be.

2264
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,000
We need to discuss how to make sure

2265
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,960
that NATO will be stronger.

2266
01:16:24,420 --> 01:16:26,300
That means more defence spending.

2267
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:29,280
That means more defence industrial production.

2268
01:16:30,100 --> 01:16:31,980
But also how to make sure that NATO

2269
01:16:31,980 --> 01:16:32,880
is fairer.

2270
01:16:32,900 --> 01:16:37,480
That we equally distribute the burden amongst allies.

2271
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:38,840
And that is only fair.

2272
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:40,820
But also a NATO which is more lethal.

2273
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,380
Not by becoming offences.

2274
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:45,860
We need to be killing machines.

2275
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:50,200
By being so strong that nobody will ever

2276
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:50,860
attack us.

2277
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:51,160
No.

2278
01:16:51,300 --> 01:16:54,100
Because they know if they would, this defensive

2279
01:16:54,100 --> 01:16:56,300
alliance, if we will be attacked, our reaction

2280
01:16:56,300 --> 01:16:57,140
will be devastating.

2281
01:16:57,300 --> 01:16:58,740
That's going to, it's going to cost a

2282
01:16:58,740 --> 01:16:59,300
lot of money.

2283
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:00,920
That's what we will discuss today.

2284
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:02,860
How to make sure that we make a

2285
01:17:02,860 --> 01:17:04,620
success out of the The Hague summit.

2286
01:17:04,740 --> 01:17:05,780
It will be a splash.

2287
01:17:07,020 --> 01:17:08,340
It's a splash.

2288
01:17:08,340 --> 01:17:11,820
Of a NATO which is standing there at

2289
01:17:11,820 --> 01:17:12,720
the world stage.

2290
01:17:13,420 --> 01:17:14,560
Stronger than ever.

2291
01:17:15,260 --> 01:17:16,960
So again, thank you for being here.

2292
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:17,920
And now it is my honour.

2293
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:18,780
This is the best.

2294
01:17:19,060 --> 01:17:22,180
This guy is the most effeminate, weak, girly

2295
01:17:22,180 --> 01:17:22,900
man ever.

2296
01:17:23,060 --> 01:17:25,460
And he's just walking around like a peacock.

2297
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,440
Like, we're the rulers of the world.

2298
01:17:28,740 --> 01:17:30,420
NATO will have all, we're going to make

2299
01:17:30,420 --> 01:17:31,620
a splash on you.

2300
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:32,660
We'll splash you here.

2301
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:34,080
We'll splash you there.

2302
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:36,340
Yeah, don't mess with us.

2303
01:17:36,340 --> 01:17:38,820
Just make sure you pay for it.

2304
01:17:39,340 --> 01:17:40,300
It's amazing.

2305
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:41,540
It's amazing.

2306
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:44,900
That this guy can actually, that he succeeded.

2307
01:17:45,100 --> 01:17:46,900
He got Germany to the 5%.

2308
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,180
And once Germany goes, how can France stay

2309
01:17:50,180 --> 01:17:50,580
behind?

2310
01:17:50,700 --> 01:17:51,980
No, no, everybody has to go.

2311
01:17:52,060 --> 01:17:53,020
Everybody's got to go.

2312
01:17:53,100 --> 01:17:53,840
And he's fantastic.

2313
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:55,320
He's great.

2314
01:17:58,240 --> 01:17:59,220
You know, Rutte was there.

2315
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,280
I mean, Rubio was there.

2316
01:18:01,480 --> 01:18:02,620
Rubio was with Mark.

2317
01:18:03,300 --> 01:18:04,980
Hanging out together.

2318
01:18:04,980 --> 01:18:07,100
Because they're all in Istanbul.

2319
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:09,160
And you want to hear...

2320
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:09,460
That's right.

2321
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:10,580
Yes, for the...

2322
01:18:10,580 --> 01:18:10,820
Yeah.

2323
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:12,140
And so I have a little bit of

2324
01:18:12,140 --> 01:18:12,700
Marko.

2325
01:18:12,740 --> 01:18:14,620
Who, by the way, is not to be

2326
01:18:14,620 --> 01:18:14,960
trusted.

2327
01:18:15,180 --> 01:18:15,740
He's a snake.

2328
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:16,380
He's no good.

2329
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:17,280
Careful with this guy.

2330
01:18:17,480 --> 01:18:17,980
Thank you.

2331
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:19,700
And I think today's meeting sets up what

2332
01:18:19,700 --> 01:18:21,300
I hope will be, I believe will be

2333
01:18:21,300 --> 01:18:23,900
a very successful leaders level meeting coming up

2334
01:18:23,900 --> 01:18:24,380
very shortly.

2335
01:18:25,820 --> 01:18:28,200
NATO has the opportunity to grow even stronger

2336
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:28,900
in the alliance.

2337
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:30,500
You know, the alliance is only as strong

2338
01:18:30,500 --> 01:18:31,400
as its weakest link.

2339
01:18:31,440 --> 01:18:33,080
And we intend and endeavour to have no

2340
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:34,180
weak links in this alliance.

2341
01:18:34,180 --> 01:18:35,300
That's interesting.

2342
01:18:35,420 --> 01:18:37,600
The alliance is only as strong as its

2343
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:38,260
weakest link.

2344
01:18:38,340 --> 01:18:39,980
So if someone doesn't pay up, the 5

2345
01:18:39,980 --> 01:18:41,520
% were weak for some reason.

2346
01:18:41,620 --> 01:18:42,900
This is an interesting analogy.

2347
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:44,420
So it's setting up nicely.

2348
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:45,820
And it's good to see, you know, the

2349
01:18:45,820 --> 01:18:48,120
president has just submitted a budget for a

2350
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,160
trillion dollars of defense spending, which is unheard

2351
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:50,340
of.

2352
01:18:50,420 --> 01:18:51,160
It's unparalleled.

2353
01:18:51,380 --> 01:18:52,680
And it's not just spending money.

2354
01:18:52,740 --> 01:18:54,600
It's spending money on the capabilities that are

2355
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,400
needed for the threats of the 21st century.

2356
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:57,800
It's not just spending money.

2357
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,340
It's spending money for important things.

2358
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:02,960
We need the Golden Dome.

2359
01:19:04,180 --> 01:19:06,160
All kinds of different threats that look different

2360
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:07,320
from the threats in the past.

2361
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,580
And so I think today sets up that

2362
01:19:10,580 --> 01:19:12,100
leaders meeting, which will be very productive.

2363
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:15,120
I also think, obviously, that the big issue

2364
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:17,080
on everyone's mind is what's happening with Russia

2365
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:17,540
and Ukraine.

2366
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,000
The president of the United States has been

2367
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:19,660
abundantly clear.

2368
01:19:19,700 --> 01:19:20,720
He wants the war to end.

2369
01:19:21,380 --> 01:19:23,900
He's open to virtually any mechanism that gets

2370
01:19:23,900 --> 01:19:26,720
us to a just, enduring and lasting peace.

2371
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:28,760
And that's what he wants to see.

2372
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:30,080
He wants to see an end to wars.

2373
01:19:30,180 --> 01:19:31,440
He wants to keep wars from happening.

2374
01:19:31,440 --> 01:19:33,420
The purpose of NATO is to prevent wars

2375
01:19:33,420 --> 01:19:34,740
through its strength.

2376
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:36,580
And that's why, you know, we want to

2377
01:19:36,580 --> 01:19:37,480
see it grow stronger.

2378
01:19:40,380 --> 01:19:41,180
The purpose...

2379
01:19:41,180 --> 01:19:42,180
Let me just hear that again.

2380
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:42,840
I just want...

2381
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:44,260
That should be on his tombstone.

2382
01:19:44,580 --> 01:19:46,940
The purpose of NATO is to stop wars.

2383
01:19:47,620 --> 01:19:48,920
And that's what he wants to see.

2384
01:19:49,060 --> 01:19:50,260
He wants to see an end to wars.

2385
01:19:50,380 --> 01:19:51,620
He wants to keep wars from happening.

2386
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:53,580
The purpose of NATO is to prevent wars.

2387
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:54,320
Okay.

2388
01:19:54,480 --> 01:19:54,700
Okay.

2389
01:19:54,740 --> 01:19:56,040
Can we just write that down?

2390
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:58,360
The purpose of NATO is to prevent wars

2391
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,680
in places like, I don't know, Ukraine.

2392
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:05,240
All the states that we expanded eastward.

2393
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:05,740
Libya.

2394
01:20:06,020 --> 01:20:06,420
Libya.

2395
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:07,840
Prevent wars.

2396
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:09,040
Prevent destruction.

2397
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:10,380
Prevent it through its strength.

2398
01:20:10,940 --> 01:20:12,240
And that's why, you know, we want to

2399
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:13,160
see it grow stronger.

2400
01:20:14,060 --> 01:20:16,380
Spending levels among all partners that allow everyone

2401
01:20:16,380 --> 01:20:17,060
to be stronger.

2402
01:20:17,140 --> 01:20:18,200
It makes the alliance stronger.

2403
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:20,260
And also he wants to end wars.

2404
01:20:20,440 --> 01:20:21,900
And that's the hope with Russia and Ukraine.

2405
01:20:22,140 --> 01:20:23,620
We'll see what happens over the next couple

2406
01:20:23,620 --> 01:20:25,560
of days in that regard.

2407
01:20:25,620 --> 01:20:27,040
But we want to see progress made in

2408
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:27,540
that regard.

2409
01:20:27,540 --> 01:20:30,900
And whatever mechanism is outlined.

2410
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:32,840
Whatever the process is that needs to happen.

2411
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:35,420
I mean, we are open to being constructive

2412
01:20:35,420 --> 01:20:36,880
and helpful in any way we can to

2413
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:37,520
end a conflict.

2414
01:20:38,440 --> 01:20:40,780
No, and end the conflicts by spending more

2415
01:20:40,780 --> 01:20:41,860
money on our stuff.

2416
01:20:41,980 --> 01:20:42,580
It's genius.

2417
01:20:42,860 --> 01:20:43,700
It's just genius.

2418
01:20:44,340 --> 01:20:45,960
There will be wars and rumors of wars.

2419
01:20:46,060 --> 01:20:46,900
It all has to happen.

2420
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:48,420
It's never going to stop.

2421
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:49,840
That is just the world the way it

2422
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:50,040
is.

2423
01:20:50,480 --> 01:20:52,660
There is something much more important playing out

2424
01:20:52,660 --> 01:20:53,240
this Saturday.

2425
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:55,960
Saturday is a big day when it comes

2426
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:56,920
to competing countries.

2427
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:58,060
Are you aware of this?

2428
01:21:01,660 --> 01:21:01,940
Saturday.

2429
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:02,400
Saturday.

2430
01:21:02,480 --> 01:21:04,960
Saturday is a big thing taking place in

2431
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:06,420
Switzerland of all places.

2432
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,080
This is a big meeting of the creative

2433
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:10,720
minds.

2434
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:13,100
It's that time of year again.

2435
01:21:15,740 --> 01:21:17,020
World Economic Forum.

2436
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:17,780
Close.

2437
01:21:17,940 --> 01:21:20,780
To Switzerland, where the first of two Eurovision

2438
01:21:20,780 --> 01:21:23,820
Song Contest semifinals have taken place in the

2439
01:21:23,820 --> 01:21:24,720
city of Basel.

2440
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:29,200
Fifteen countries performed on Tuesday night, including Sweden.

2441
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:30,860
This just took place a couple of months

2442
01:21:30,860 --> 01:21:31,180
ago.

2443
01:21:31,480 --> 01:21:32,380
No, it's once a year.

2444
01:21:32,420 --> 01:21:34,340
That's how fast the time is going.

2445
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:36,060
And for you, it's even worse.

2446
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:37,660
See, I thought it was like maybe half

2447
01:21:37,660 --> 01:21:38,100
a year ago.

2448
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:39,600
You're like, this was last week.

2449
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:41,100
That's what happens when you get older.

2450
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:42,860
Time is accelerating.

2451
01:21:43,300 --> 01:21:46,540
Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Norway and Croatia.

2452
01:21:47,340 --> 01:21:49,980
Among the favorites was Sweden, with a catchy

2453
01:21:49,980 --> 01:21:51,920
tribute to sauna culture.

2454
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:55,020
Ah, Sweden with a catchy tribute to sauna

2455
01:21:55,020 --> 01:21:55,600
culture.

2456
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:59,280
And Dutch singer Claude, with his emotional ballad,

2457
01:21:59,620 --> 01:22:00,220
C'est la vie.

2458
01:22:00,340 --> 01:22:01,560
Ah, the Dutch are in the running.

2459
01:22:02,140 --> 01:22:05,180
In total, 37 countries will compete for a

2460
01:22:05,180 --> 01:22:07,300
place in Saturday's grand final.

2461
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:10,900
I heard more about the first semifinal from

2462
01:22:10,900 --> 01:22:14,080
our correspondent, Charlotte Gallagher, who's in Basel.

2463
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:16,540
She began by telling us how the Swedish

2464
01:22:16,540 --> 01:22:17,680
band got on.

2465
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:19,920
Well, they did really well.

2466
01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:22,720
They are a huge favorite here in Basel.

2467
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,620
They're also currently the bookies' favorite as well,

2468
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:28,740
which is no surprise, really, because if there's

2469
01:22:28,740 --> 01:22:31,600
one thing that Sweden does really well, it's

2470
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:33,280
writing a Eurovision banger.

2471
01:22:33,660 --> 01:22:34,360
They have won it.

2472
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:35,700
A Eurovision banger.

2473
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:37,040
A Eurovision banger.

2474
01:22:37,260 --> 01:22:38,980
John, have you got a new Eurovision banger?

2475
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:40,500
How is this even news?

2476
01:22:41,100 --> 01:22:44,100
It's lightheartedness because they, of course, will make

2477
01:22:44,100 --> 01:22:44,620
it political.

2478
01:22:44,980 --> 01:22:45,560
Really well.

2479
01:22:45,660 --> 01:22:47,660
It's writing a Eurovision banger.

2480
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,800
They have won it so many times.

2481
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:51,900
We were in Malmo last year because they

2482
01:22:51,900 --> 01:22:52,920
won it the year before.

2483
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:55,240
Switzerland obviously won it last year, so that's

2484
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:56,120
why we're in Basel.

2485
01:22:56,480 --> 01:22:58,360
But it could well be going back to

2486
01:22:58,360 --> 01:22:59,960
Sweden next year.

2487
01:23:00,020 --> 01:23:01,500
It's a hugely popular song.

2488
01:23:01,740 --> 01:23:02,920
It's got a great staging.

2489
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:04,800
They're sat in a sauna, so it really

2490
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:05,760
catches the eye.

2491
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:06,660
It's really funny.

2492
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:08,940
I met a lady from Stockholm earlier, Karen.

2493
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:10,660
She was really excited, and I said, but

2494
01:23:10,660 --> 01:23:12,660
what will it mean for the song, you

2495
01:23:12,660 --> 01:23:14,240
know, Eurovision, to come to Sweden again?

2496
01:23:14,300 --> 01:23:16,040
She went, it'll probably mean higher taxes for

2497
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:17,200
us, but I'm still excited.

2498
01:23:18,060 --> 01:23:19,260
This is a big deal.

2499
01:23:19,440 --> 01:23:20,780
We do have a lot of people listening

2500
01:23:20,780 --> 01:23:23,500
in Europe, and all Europeans, believe me, the

2501
01:23:23,500 --> 01:23:25,520
streets are quiet on Saturday night.

2502
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:28,480
Everybody is checking it out, and I need

2503
01:23:28,480 --> 01:23:34,080
your insight and your expertise as a musical,

2504
01:23:36,810 --> 01:23:37,370
what is it?

2505
01:23:37,790 --> 01:23:38,270
Listener.

2506
01:23:39,310 --> 01:23:40,990
Aficionado is what I was going to say.

2507
01:23:41,230 --> 01:23:41,990
That's a good word.

2508
01:23:42,050 --> 01:23:43,630
These are the top three contenders.

2509
01:23:43,790 --> 01:23:46,230
I have about 30 seconds of each, and

2510
01:23:46,230 --> 01:23:48,250
I would like to get your opinion as

2511
01:23:48,250 --> 01:23:50,910
we start off with three entrants.

2512
01:23:50,990 --> 01:23:52,290
Ukraine, of course.

2513
01:23:52,450 --> 01:23:54,190
We still need to have the political angle.

2514
01:23:54,650 --> 01:24:00,290
Ukraine could pull in the top prize because,

2515
01:24:00,410 --> 01:24:01,490
hey, Ukraine, right?

2516
01:24:02,790 --> 01:24:05,470
We have Sweden because they are clearly the

2517
01:24:05,470 --> 01:24:07,850
favorites with their sauna culture, and we have

2518
01:24:07,850 --> 01:24:09,490
the Netherlands with Claude.

2519
01:24:10,010 --> 01:24:13,370
So I give you Zifferblatt, bird of prey

2520
01:24:13,370 --> 01:24:14,070
from Ukraine.

2521
01:24:14,630 --> 01:24:16,250
This person, I don't know if it's a

2522
01:24:16,250 --> 01:24:16,570
dude.

2523
01:24:16,850 --> 01:24:17,930
I don't know if it's a woman.

2524
01:24:18,510 --> 01:24:21,310
The person looks just like Zelensky.

2525
01:24:36,420 --> 01:24:36,920
What do you think?

2526
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:39,640
Journey from the 70s.

2527
01:24:39,780 --> 01:24:40,880
Yes, journey.

2528
01:24:41,740 --> 01:24:43,120
Yes, nailed it.

2529
01:24:49,010 --> 01:24:50,210
All right.

2530
01:24:50,310 --> 01:24:52,090
So you say that's a journey from the

2531
01:24:52,090 --> 01:24:52,810
70s, not bad.

2532
01:24:53,170 --> 01:24:56,190
I think the Netherlands has an interesting entrant.

2533
01:24:56,970 --> 01:24:58,310
Claude with C'est La Vie.

2534
01:24:59,050 --> 01:25:02,110
The song is apparently in French spoken so

2535
01:25:02,110 --> 01:25:03,150
often in the Netherlands.

2536
01:25:04,730 --> 01:25:07,110
But C'est La Vie is a good

2537
01:25:07,110 --> 01:25:10,310
title because everyone knows the term C'est

2538
01:25:10,310 --> 01:25:10,590
La Vie.

2539
01:25:27,090 --> 01:25:29,210
And you complain about our end of show

2540
01:25:29,210 --> 01:25:29,610
mixes.

2541
01:25:33,450 --> 01:25:34,570
All right.

2542
01:25:34,650 --> 01:25:35,650
So that's C'est La Vie.

2543
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:36,550
Cliché on that one.

2544
01:25:36,690 --> 01:25:37,590
What a dog.

2545
01:25:37,830 --> 01:25:41,330
But I think Sweden will win because they

2546
01:25:41,330 --> 01:25:42,190
have...

2547
01:25:42,190 --> 01:25:42,830
It's a banger.

2548
01:25:43,070 --> 01:25:43,630
It's a banger.

2549
01:25:43,830 --> 01:25:44,490
It is...

2550
01:25:44,490 --> 01:25:47,890
Believe me, Europe, particularly the Germanic side and

2551
01:25:47,890 --> 01:25:51,690
the Viking side, they still want drinking songs.

2552
01:25:52,070 --> 01:25:53,190
They still want to go...

2553
01:25:56,090 --> 01:25:57,050
That's what they want.

2554
01:25:58,050 --> 01:25:58,570
And I think...

2555
01:25:58,570 --> 01:25:59,630
Yeah, so they can hold the beer stein.

2556
01:25:59,710 --> 01:26:01,750
Yes, and I think Sweden has it locked

2557
01:26:01,750 --> 01:26:02,070
up.

2558
01:26:27,050 --> 01:26:28,090
See, that's the hook.

2559
01:26:29,730 --> 01:26:31,710
This is an anthem style.

2560
01:26:31,950 --> 01:26:32,950
Yes, exactly.

2561
01:26:33,670 --> 01:26:35,570
Which should catch...

2562
01:26:35,570 --> 01:26:36,450
Could win the award.

2563
01:26:36,490 --> 01:26:37,150
You might be right.

2564
01:26:37,370 --> 01:26:38,210
It goes...

2565
01:26:38,210 --> 01:26:39,390
But it still sucks.

2566
01:26:39,630 --> 01:26:39,930
It's bad.

2567
01:26:40,030 --> 01:26:40,810
It's mediocre.

2568
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,150
Who let the dogs out?

2569
01:26:42,170 --> 01:26:43,010
Why don't you just do that?

2570
01:26:43,590 --> 01:26:44,490
But here's the hook.

2571
01:26:46,470 --> 01:26:46,910
Sauna.

2572
01:26:50,590 --> 01:26:51,030
Sauna.

2573
01:26:51,030 --> 01:26:53,510
See, the whole world will be singing this

2574
01:26:53,510 --> 01:26:53,690
song.

2575
01:26:53,790 --> 01:26:56,690
Holy, holy, holy sauna.

2576
01:26:57,190 --> 01:26:57,630
Sauna.

2577
01:26:58,170 --> 01:26:58,370
Sauna.

2578
01:26:58,490 --> 01:26:58,910
Yes.

2579
01:26:59,430 --> 01:27:00,270
Yes, they win.

2580
01:27:01,110 --> 01:27:02,810
Okay, just to wrap this up.

2581
01:27:02,930 --> 01:27:04,130
It's just code for get naked.

2582
01:27:04,330 --> 01:27:05,330
Yeah, here's...

2583
01:27:06,150 --> 01:27:07,870
And here is the political angle.

2584
01:27:07,890 --> 01:27:09,770
And what's the atmosphere been like there in

2585
01:27:09,770 --> 01:27:10,090
Basel?

2586
01:27:10,250 --> 01:27:11,770
Well, no one likes the Jews.

2587
01:27:11,930 --> 01:27:15,210
It's very different, I'd say, from Malmo last

2588
01:27:15,210 --> 01:27:15,430
year.

2589
01:27:15,510 --> 01:27:17,310
It does seem a bit more relaxed.

2590
01:27:17,310 --> 01:27:21,410
Malmo was quite tense at times because of

2591
01:27:21,410 --> 01:27:23,270
the conflict in Gaza and Israel.

2592
01:27:23,550 --> 01:27:24,570
And you felt that as soon as you

2593
01:27:24,570 --> 01:27:25,430
got into the city.

2594
01:27:25,730 --> 01:27:27,670
We haven't seen that yet in Basel.

2595
01:27:28,010 --> 01:27:30,370
There is a protest, though, tomorrow against Israel's

2596
01:27:30,370 --> 01:27:31,710
inclusion in Eurovision.

2597
01:27:32,010 --> 01:27:34,410
And also when Israel perform in the second

2598
01:27:34,410 --> 01:27:35,810
semifinal on Thursday.

2599
01:27:36,470 --> 01:27:39,050
The contestant says she expects to be booed,

2600
01:27:39,110 --> 01:27:39,470
essentially.

2601
01:27:39,670 --> 01:27:41,450
And people will be allowed to bring Palestinian

2602
01:27:41,450 --> 01:27:42,510
flags into the arena.

2603
01:27:42,590 --> 01:27:44,270
They weren't necessarily allowed to do that in

2604
01:27:44,270 --> 01:27:44,930
Sweden last year.

2605
01:27:45,250 --> 01:27:46,770
People had those flags taken off them.

2606
01:27:46,770 --> 01:27:48,330
This year, they will be allowed to bring

2607
01:27:48,330 --> 01:27:48,610
them in.

2608
01:27:48,970 --> 01:27:50,990
So I think we'll probably see the mood

2609
01:27:50,990 --> 01:27:54,050
towards Israel and the Israeli contestant here in

2610
01:27:54,050 --> 01:27:55,790
Eurovision on Thursday.

2611
01:27:56,170 --> 01:27:58,010
But at the moment in town, in the

2612
01:27:58,010 --> 01:28:00,590
city centre, people seem pretty happy that Eurovision's

2613
01:28:00,590 --> 01:28:00,790
here.

2614
01:28:01,150 --> 01:28:02,870
There's lots of turquoise flags.

2615
01:28:03,050 --> 01:28:03,690
Yeah, blah, blah, blah.

2616
01:28:03,950 --> 01:28:06,850
The only reason they should be against Israel

2617
01:28:06,850 --> 01:28:08,050
is because they're not...

2618
01:28:08,050 --> 01:28:09,530
Why are they part of Eurovision?

2619
01:28:10,630 --> 01:28:11,950
There's nowhere near Euro.

2620
01:28:12,510 --> 01:28:13,950
This is the problem I've had.

2621
01:28:14,550 --> 01:28:16,710
Won't they have a Nigerian candidate?

2622
01:28:17,650 --> 01:28:20,130
They could, if you're a member of Eurovision.

2623
01:28:20,770 --> 01:28:21,790
That's the only reason to pro...

2624
01:28:21,790 --> 01:28:22,350
But oh, no.

2625
01:28:22,470 --> 01:28:23,310
Oh, I've got a protest.

2626
01:28:23,470 --> 01:28:23,930
Oh, whoa.

2627
01:28:24,310 --> 01:28:26,210
Whoa, Israel can't sing songs.

2628
01:28:27,210 --> 01:28:28,250
It's a problem.

2629
01:28:31,910 --> 01:28:32,790
It's rampant.

2630
01:28:33,130 --> 01:28:33,970
And we are...

2631
01:28:33,970 --> 01:28:34,310
What's next?

2632
01:28:34,450 --> 01:28:35,130
What's next?

2633
01:28:35,390 --> 01:28:36,910
We're fighting upstream, John.

2634
01:28:37,030 --> 01:28:37,770
We're upstream.

2635
01:28:44,090 --> 01:28:46,290
All right, time to get real.

2636
01:28:46,650 --> 01:28:47,610
Hey, young people.

2637
01:28:47,730 --> 01:28:48,270
We're hip.

2638
01:28:48,270 --> 01:28:49,490
We're with the in crowd.

2639
01:28:49,670 --> 01:28:51,730
We can do TikTok TikTok clops.

2640
01:28:53,890 --> 01:28:54,830
Well, I got a bunch of them.

2641
01:28:54,930 --> 01:28:58,290
I got actually five TikTok clips that are

2642
01:28:58,290 --> 01:28:59,650
all various...

2643
01:28:59,650 --> 01:29:00,790
They're various styles.

2644
01:29:00,930 --> 01:29:01,990
Oh, let's start with this one.

2645
01:29:02,070 --> 01:29:03,450
Here's a black woman complaining...

2646
01:29:03,450 --> 01:29:04,050
Or not complaining.

2647
01:29:04,110 --> 01:29:06,910
She's trying to educate us about gingers.

2648
01:29:07,310 --> 01:29:08,410
Gingers are no good.

2649
01:29:08,470 --> 01:29:09,210
They have no soul.

2650
01:29:09,450 --> 01:29:10,870
I just need to remind y'all again,

2651
01:29:11,290 --> 01:29:13,930
everyone who is ginger, who has red hair,

2652
01:29:14,070 --> 01:29:15,790
those are black people.

2653
01:29:15,790 --> 01:29:18,470
All gingers are black people.

2654
01:29:18,650 --> 01:29:20,450
If they have red hair, they are black.

2655
01:29:20,890 --> 01:29:22,510
You see a white man with red hair.

2656
01:29:22,690 --> 01:29:23,650
That's a black man.

2657
01:29:23,830 --> 01:29:25,530
You see a white woman with red hair.

2658
01:29:25,670 --> 01:29:26,890
That's a black woman.

2659
01:29:27,790 --> 01:29:29,210
Gingers are black.

2660
01:29:30,070 --> 01:29:31,030
All gingers.

2661
01:29:31,850 --> 01:29:32,330
Wow.

2662
01:29:33,210 --> 01:29:33,690
Wow.

2663
01:29:33,810 --> 01:29:34,150
Okay.

2664
01:29:34,390 --> 01:29:35,370
Well, that's...

2665
01:29:35,370 --> 01:29:36,390
I can write that one down.

2666
01:29:36,430 --> 01:29:37,630
That's a T-shirt, by the way.

2667
01:29:38,550 --> 01:29:39,570
Gingers are black.

2668
01:29:40,310 --> 01:29:40,970
All right.

2669
01:29:42,470 --> 01:29:44,930
I'm loving this insight from TikTok.

2670
01:29:46,390 --> 01:29:49,330
Well, that was a different woman than the

2671
01:29:49,330 --> 01:29:51,110
one that keeps going on about how all

2672
01:29:51,110 --> 01:29:52,570
white people are cannibals.

2673
01:29:52,730 --> 01:29:53,550
Remember that one?

2674
01:29:53,950 --> 01:29:54,810
It's true.

2675
01:29:55,010 --> 01:29:55,750
It's true.

2676
01:29:56,350 --> 01:29:57,110
Everyone knows it.

2677
01:29:57,370 --> 01:29:57,790
It's on TikTok.

2678
01:29:57,910 --> 01:30:01,150
Now, of course, we have the wimpy guy.

2679
01:30:01,770 --> 01:30:05,130
Like, just really a wimpy guy threatening everybody

2680
01:30:05,130 --> 01:30:06,470
because you're MAGA.

2681
01:30:06,790 --> 01:30:07,310
Me, MAGA.

2682
01:30:07,570 --> 01:30:08,150
Peter Thiel.

2683
01:30:08,590 --> 01:30:09,050
Trump.

2684
01:30:09,470 --> 01:30:10,030
JD Banz.

2685
01:30:10,490 --> 01:30:11,170
Elon Musk.

2686
01:30:12,110 --> 01:30:13,230
Fear us.

2687
01:30:13,710 --> 01:30:14,650
We are the masses.

2688
01:30:15,790 --> 01:30:16,790
You are the 1%.

2689
01:30:17,610 --> 01:30:19,150
We are the 99%.

2690
01:30:19,770 --> 01:30:20,770
Think about it.

2691
01:30:21,870 --> 01:30:23,850
Think about it, keyboard warrior.

2692
01:30:25,630 --> 01:30:26,270
You know...

2693
01:30:26,270 --> 01:30:26,910
Think about it.

2694
01:30:26,930 --> 01:30:29,470
It's sad because he's clearly angry.

2695
01:30:30,290 --> 01:30:31,150
You know, this is the...

2696
01:30:31,990 --> 01:30:34,870
He has no other means to show his

2697
01:30:34,870 --> 01:30:37,270
anger other than speaking into the deep void

2698
01:30:37,270 --> 01:30:39,110
on TikTok to people like you.

2699
01:30:39,750 --> 01:30:40,870
So it's...

2700
01:30:40,870 --> 01:30:42,170
I feel for these people.

2701
01:30:42,270 --> 01:30:43,350
I feel bad for this guy.

2702
01:30:43,650 --> 01:30:44,670
I'm in the minority.

2703
01:30:44,670 --> 01:30:46,010
I'm inside the majority.

2704
01:30:46,390 --> 01:30:47,450
You're in the minority on this.

2705
01:30:47,750 --> 01:30:48,070
What do you mean?

2706
01:30:48,190 --> 01:30:49,990
Oh, no, I feel bad for all these

2707
01:30:49,990 --> 01:30:50,310
people.

2708
01:30:50,470 --> 01:30:54,350
I hope all these people, you know, that

2709
01:30:54,350 --> 01:30:56,810
they calm down and they stop out of

2710
01:30:56,810 --> 01:30:57,010
this.

2711
01:30:57,610 --> 01:30:58,370
Eventually it will.

2712
01:30:58,430 --> 01:30:59,090
One day it will.

2713
01:31:00,450 --> 01:31:02,410
So let's go to Department of Education nut.

2714
01:31:03,050 --> 01:31:03,650
Good morning.

2715
01:31:03,970 --> 01:31:04,570
It's Monday.

2716
01:31:05,190 --> 01:31:07,330
I have a question for those that have

2717
01:31:07,330 --> 01:31:08,630
voted for this administration.

2718
01:31:09,690 --> 01:31:12,930
Did you vote for the Department of Education

2719
01:31:12,930 --> 01:31:13,490
be taken out?

2720
01:31:14,050 --> 01:31:15,230
Yeah, let me check.

2721
01:31:15,430 --> 01:31:15,570
Yeah.

2722
01:31:15,570 --> 01:31:16,410
Yeah, I did.

2723
01:31:16,510 --> 01:31:16,790
Yes.

2724
01:31:17,690 --> 01:31:18,130
Dismantled.

2725
01:31:18,310 --> 01:31:18,990
Did you vote for that?

2726
01:31:19,190 --> 01:31:19,390
Yep.

2727
01:31:19,650 --> 01:31:19,870
Yeah.

2728
01:31:20,070 --> 01:31:20,450
I'm just curious.

2729
01:31:20,990 --> 01:31:22,990
I'm sure you wanted them to change things,

2730
01:31:23,150 --> 01:31:25,770
but dismantling a department that helps your children.

2731
01:31:26,850 --> 01:31:29,170
You mean the department that puts those books

2732
01:31:29,170 --> 01:31:30,710
into my children's schools?

2733
01:31:30,930 --> 01:31:32,530
No, I'm pretty sure that I voted against

2734
01:31:32,530 --> 01:31:32,790
that.

2735
01:31:33,370 --> 01:31:35,370
And helps a lot of people.

2736
01:31:35,910 --> 01:31:37,670
Putting it with the states is not the

2737
01:31:37,670 --> 01:31:39,230
answer, especially if the states don't have income

2738
01:31:39,230 --> 01:31:41,650
taxes and if they're going to start taking

2739
01:31:41,650 --> 01:31:42,330
those away too.

2740
01:31:42,970 --> 01:31:43,950
Hold on a second.

2741
01:31:44,130 --> 01:31:46,650
We have a state that doesn't have income

2742
01:31:46,650 --> 01:31:47,110
taxes.

2743
01:31:47,510 --> 01:31:49,430
We have some of the most beautiful roads,

2744
01:31:50,050 --> 01:31:51,890
some of the best infrastructure.

2745
01:31:53,390 --> 01:31:56,430
We get taxed in other ways, for sure.

2746
01:31:56,930 --> 01:31:59,430
But I think you're wrong on this, TikTok

2747
01:31:59,430 --> 01:31:59,810
gal.

2748
01:32:00,550 --> 01:32:02,670
Our children will hurt for this.

2749
01:32:03,150 --> 01:32:04,550
They want to take away abortion.

2750
01:32:07,650 --> 01:32:10,510
This is a great phrase.

2751
01:32:10,610 --> 01:32:12,050
They want to take away abortion.

2752
01:32:13,130 --> 01:32:15,170
Our children will hurt for this.

2753
01:32:15,550 --> 01:32:17,130
They want to take away abortion.

2754
01:32:17,470 --> 01:32:19,070
Well, if you don't take away abortion, that's

2755
01:32:19,070 --> 01:32:20,810
when the children will really hurt for this.

2756
01:32:20,970 --> 01:32:21,970
You know, they get aborted.

2757
01:32:23,110 --> 01:32:25,030
If you have a baby, you got to

2758
01:32:25,030 --> 01:32:25,450
take care of it.

2759
01:32:25,510 --> 01:32:26,170
They don't help you there.

2760
01:32:26,870 --> 01:32:29,610
Then you take away education support.

2761
01:32:30,050 --> 01:32:31,390
I just, I'm curious.

2762
01:32:31,750 --> 01:32:33,170
What's your mastermind thought plan?

2763
01:32:33,470 --> 01:32:35,630
And I wonder if it's good as is,

2764
01:32:35,730 --> 01:32:36,470
then whatever.

2765
01:32:36,690 --> 01:32:37,190
Have a great day.

2766
01:32:38,750 --> 01:32:40,710
But this is just people who are grossly

2767
01:32:40,710 --> 01:32:41,410
misinformed.

2768
01:32:41,490 --> 01:32:42,010
That's all.

2769
01:32:42,330 --> 01:32:45,890
She doesn't even understand how a taxless, income

2770
01:32:45,890 --> 01:32:50,090
taxless state like Texas works or Nevada or

2771
01:32:50,090 --> 01:32:52,670
others just doesn't seem to understand it.

2772
01:32:53,130 --> 01:32:54,650
And she, I don't know if she has

2773
01:32:54,650 --> 01:32:55,170
children.

2774
01:32:55,910 --> 01:32:56,930
If she had children.

2775
01:32:56,930 --> 01:32:58,010
What do you think?

2776
01:32:58,130 --> 01:32:59,150
Probably not.

2777
01:32:59,450 --> 01:33:00,250
Probably not.

2778
01:33:00,350 --> 01:33:02,850
So she's just under-informed and a little

2779
01:33:02,850 --> 01:33:04,070
over-socialized.

2780
01:33:04,290 --> 01:33:05,830
She, you know, again.

2781
01:33:05,950 --> 01:33:07,510
You can make excuses all you want for

2782
01:33:07,510 --> 01:33:07,990
these people.

2783
01:33:08,230 --> 01:33:09,030
I'm not making excuses.

2784
01:33:09,230 --> 01:33:11,430
I have compassion for them because I feel

2785
01:33:11,430 --> 01:33:11,530
bad.

2786
01:33:11,530 --> 01:33:11,850
Yeah, I don't.

2787
01:33:11,850 --> 01:33:12,870
I know you don't.

2788
01:33:12,950 --> 01:33:13,370
Well, it's okay.

2789
01:33:13,490 --> 01:33:14,990
You don't need to shut me down just

2790
01:33:14,990 --> 01:33:15,930
because I have compassion.

2791
01:33:16,230 --> 01:33:20,270
No, this is the toxic empathy is what

2792
01:33:20,270 --> 01:33:20,810
you have.

2793
01:33:20,930 --> 01:33:21,430
Oh no.

2794
01:33:21,590 --> 01:33:22,850
Oh no, there's no empathy.

2795
01:33:23,130 --> 01:33:24,910
Empathy is something completely different.

2796
01:33:25,030 --> 01:33:26,430
There's no empathy here.

2797
01:33:26,750 --> 01:33:27,450
No, sir.

2798
01:33:27,990 --> 01:33:29,710
It is compassion, not empathy.

2799
01:33:29,930 --> 01:33:32,330
Toxic compassion is what you have.

2800
01:33:32,550 --> 01:33:33,650
Toxic compassion.

2801
01:33:34,090 --> 01:33:34,870
Oh, here we go.

2802
01:33:34,970 --> 01:33:36,910
The only one who's toxic is you.

2803
01:33:37,210 --> 01:33:37,630
Which one?

2804
01:33:37,670 --> 01:33:38,210
Here we go.

2805
01:33:38,230 --> 01:33:40,670
Here we go with the idiot leaving the

2806
01:33:40,670 --> 01:33:41,590
United States.

2807
01:33:41,850 --> 01:33:44,290
Okay, so since Trump won the election, we're

2808
01:33:44,290 --> 01:33:44,970
cooked.

2809
01:33:45,170 --> 01:33:45,310
Yup.

2810
01:33:46,930 --> 01:33:48,870
I'm going to be leaving the US and

2811
01:33:48,870 --> 01:33:50,550
I'm going to be moving to Hawaii.

2812
01:33:51,270 --> 01:33:53,150
So we'll see how it goes.

2813
01:33:53,610 --> 01:33:54,690
And I'll update you guys.

2814
01:33:56,930 --> 01:33:59,430
Again, someone who has not been educated and

2815
01:33:59,430 --> 01:34:02,130
completely over-socialized, who does not understand the

2816
01:34:02,130 --> 01:34:03,810
United States includes Hawaii.

2817
01:34:04,590 --> 01:34:06,210
That is a kicker.

2818
01:34:06,330 --> 01:34:07,750
You should have held that one for last

2819
01:34:07,750 --> 01:34:09,510
unless this is the best of the bunch.

2820
01:34:09,790 --> 01:34:10,890
No, they're all good.

2821
01:34:10,890 --> 01:34:12,190
This one, this is not.

2822
01:34:12,850 --> 01:34:14,710
That may have been the best, but we'll

2823
01:34:14,710 --> 01:34:14,970
try this one.

2824
01:34:14,970 --> 01:34:15,550
It was pretty good.

2825
01:34:15,850 --> 01:34:17,010
I just saw this video.

2826
01:34:17,950 --> 01:34:19,730
I mean, I've been seeing a lot of

2827
01:34:19,730 --> 01:34:20,010
videos.

2828
01:34:20,190 --> 01:34:21,030
You need to set this up.

2829
01:34:21,070 --> 01:34:21,870
I don't know what's happening.

2830
01:34:22,030 --> 01:34:22,990
What's going on with this?

2831
01:34:23,090 --> 01:34:25,990
Okay, here's a woman crying and she's letting

2832
01:34:25,990 --> 01:34:27,830
it be known that this is the way

2833
01:34:27,830 --> 01:34:30,090
everyone must be feeling because she is.

2834
01:34:30,350 --> 01:34:32,010
You know, if you're feeling a certain way

2835
01:34:32,010 --> 01:34:36,050
because of Trump, obviously everybody's feeling that way.

2836
01:34:36,050 --> 01:34:40,230
And so she's eliciting kind of like she's

2837
01:34:40,230 --> 01:34:42,450
hoping, I guess, but yeah, yeah, yeah, we

2838
01:34:42,450 --> 01:34:43,630
should overthrow the government.

2839
01:34:43,810 --> 01:34:45,890
I'm not sure what the goal of this

2840
01:34:45,890 --> 01:34:46,050
is.

2841
01:34:46,230 --> 01:34:47,030
Overthrow the government.

2842
01:34:47,210 --> 01:34:49,410
Okay, yeah, I'm all for it.

2843
01:34:49,430 --> 01:34:49,910
Let's do it.

2844
01:34:50,190 --> 01:34:50,690
Let's do it.

2845
01:34:50,750 --> 01:34:51,990
I just saw this video.

2846
01:34:53,030 --> 01:34:54,690
I mean, I've been seeing a lot of

2847
01:34:54,690 --> 01:34:55,030
videos.

2848
01:34:56,810 --> 01:35:00,130
Anyone else having a hard time not just

2849
01:35:00,130 --> 01:35:03,570
breaking down crying several times a day because

2850
01:35:03,570 --> 01:35:07,550
you're just watching the horror happen.

2851
01:35:07,750 --> 01:35:09,930
The horror of so many people around you

2852
01:35:09,930 --> 01:35:13,070
that either have no idea, don't care or

2853
01:35:13,070 --> 01:35:14,270
pretending it's not.

2854
01:35:14,430 --> 01:35:16,090
And like you're crazy and you're just a

2855
01:35:16,090 --> 01:35:18,130
conspiracy theorist and you're just insane and you

2856
01:35:18,130 --> 01:35:19,330
just are too dramatic and you just need

2857
01:35:19,330 --> 01:35:20,150
to calm down and you just need to

2858
01:35:20,150 --> 01:35:20,790
shut the fuck up.

2859
01:35:21,130 --> 01:35:23,410
But you want to help and there's nothing

2860
01:35:23,410 --> 01:35:25,590
you can do because you don't have money.

2861
01:35:25,830 --> 01:35:27,010
You don't have billions of dollars.

2862
01:35:27,430 --> 01:35:29,350
You don't have, I don't have any dollars

2863
01:35:29,350 --> 01:35:30,170
that I can spare.

2864
01:35:30,170 --> 01:35:32,270
Frankly, like truly.

2865
01:35:32,970 --> 01:35:34,870
But that's the only thing that seems to

2866
01:35:34,870 --> 01:35:35,770
kind of make a difference.

2867
01:35:35,950 --> 01:35:36,890
And you can't even do that.

2868
01:35:37,090 --> 01:35:37,830
You can't even do that.

2869
01:35:38,470 --> 01:35:39,370
You can only speak.

2870
01:35:39,610 --> 01:35:40,890
And now we can't even speak.

2871
01:35:41,710 --> 01:35:43,190
So watch and cry.

2872
01:35:43,530 --> 01:35:44,970
It is, I guess.

2873
01:35:46,230 --> 01:35:48,330
You know, the worse it gets, it's not

2874
01:35:48,330 --> 01:35:50,170
like the quieter I want to get.

2875
01:35:50,650 --> 01:35:52,830
It's the angrier I get, the louder I

2876
01:35:52,830 --> 01:35:53,350
want to be.

2877
01:35:54,170 --> 01:35:56,170
I've just been screaming for so long that

2878
01:35:56,170 --> 01:36:00,510
I'm not sure I, who I'm even talking

2879
01:36:00,510 --> 01:36:01,110
to anymore.

2880
01:36:01,770 --> 01:36:02,710
Who's left?

2881
01:36:03,830 --> 01:36:05,330
It's still, what else do you need to

2882
01:36:05,330 --> 01:36:05,590
see?

2883
01:36:05,890 --> 01:36:07,570
Oh no, there's lots of you left.

2884
01:36:07,690 --> 01:36:08,390
There's, there's a lot.

2885
01:36:08,610 --> 01:36:11,230
So I think the reason I have compassion

2886
01:36:11,230 --> 01:36:12,930
for these people, we have a family member

2887
01:36:12,930 --> 01:36:14,070
who does this on TikTok.

2888
01:36:15,230 --> 01:36:16,190
Exactly this.

2889
01:36:17,170 --> 01:36:20,910
And it's, it is, I can tell because

2890
01:36:20,910 --> 01:36:23,110
I know this family member that it is,

2891
01:36:23,350 --> 01:36:27,070
it's an outlet and the feedback is important.

2892
01:36:27,070 --> 01:36:28,750
Yeah, you're right on.

2893
01:36:28,850 --> 01:36:29,530
You're spot on.

2894
01:36:29,630 --> 01:36:30,470
Yes, I'm with you.

2895
01:36:30,590 --> 01:36:31,610
I'm also crying.

2896
01:36:31,810 --> 01:36:32,850
I'm also worried.

2897
01:36:32,950 --> 01:36:33,730
I'm also scared.

2898
01:36:33,930 --> 01:36:38,030
These people are scared because these dark media

2899
01:36:38,030 --> 01:36:41,990
forces have scared them to no end about

2900
01:36:41,990 --> 01:36:42,430
stuff.

2901
01:36:42,870 --> 01:36:44,850
They can't, she did in a minute and

2902
01:36:44,850 --> 01:36:46,770
15, she didn't even say what she's scared

2903
01:36:46,770 --> 01:36:47,090
of.

2904
01:36:47,890 --> 01:36:48,890
It's just scared.

2905
01:36:49,830 --> 01:36:51,030
She's scared of people.

2906
01:36:51,070 --> 01:36:52,430
She's scared, scared.

2907
01:36:54,310 --> 01:36:57,170
So this is just, it's just a, that's

2908
01:36:57,170 --> 01:36:57,490
real.

2909
01:36:57,630 --> 01:36:59,510
That's probably the realest clip that you played

2910
01:36:59,510 --> 01:37:00,150
of the bunch.

2911
01:37:00,910 --> 01:37:02,030
This really happens.

2912
01:37:02,150 --> 01:37:05,390
And people need this feedback because no one

2913
01:37:05,390 --> 01:37:06,770
else in their right mind can have a

2914
01:37:06,770 --> 01:37:07,830
conversation with them.

2915
01:37:08,450 --> 01:37:09,890
So that's for sure.

2916
01:37:10,010 --> 01:37:12,250
Yeah, so, and so the algos put those

2917
01:37:12,250 --> 01:37:14,650
people together and they see more people saying

2918
01:37:14,650 --> 01:37:16,290
this and they believe that the whole world

2919
01:37:16,290 --> 01:37:16,890
is like them.

2920
01:37:16,930 --> 01:37:19,750
That is the, the true genius of TikTok

2921
01:37:19,750 --> 01:37:22,190
is that whatever you're into, you're going to

2922
01:37:22,190 --> 01:37:23,750
get a lot of it all the time.

2923
01:37:23,890 --> 01:37:25,490
It's not just going to switch all of

2924
01:37:25,490 --> 01:37:26,630
a sudden midstream.

2925
01:37:27,250 --> 01:37:30,310
And so in that regard, she needs to

2926
01:37:30,310 --> 01:37:31,030
get off the internet.

2927
01:37:31,370 --> 01:37:33,130
She needs to get off her TikTok for

2928
01:37:33,130 --> 01:37:33,470
sure.

2929
01:37:35,090 --> 01:37:36,790
None of those kids really had phones by

2930
01:37:36,790 --> 01:37:37,750
the way at the high school.

2931
01:37:38,310 --> 01:37:40,470
Three, three had a smartphone.

2932
01:37:41,830 --> 01:37:44,730
Well, that was, that's new information that needed

2933
01:37:44,730 --> 01:37:45,610
to be discussed.

2934
01:37:45,750 --> 01:37:46,070
Oh yeah.

2935
01:37:46,890 --> 01:37:50,970
In fact, the most common phrase heard from

2936
01:37:50,970 --> 01:37:51,710
their parents.

2937
01:37:52,090 --> 01:37:53,170
So they have phones.

2938
01:37:53,350 --> 01:37:55,590
They have like flip phones and other phones,

2939
01:37:55,870 --> 01:37:57,630
but nothing.

2940
01:37:57,770 --> 01:38:00,270
Now they have computers at home and so

2941
01:38:00,270 --> 01:38:01,310
they can go on YouTube.

2942
01:38:01,850 --> 01:38:02,150
Okay.

2943
01:38:03,730 --> 01:38:05,730
The most common phrase heard is you can

2944
01:38:05,730 --> 01:38:07,710
have a smartphone as a wedding present.

2945
01:38:09,590 --> 01:38:11,810
And that's the attitude of the parents here

2946
01:38:11,810 --> 01:38:13,350
in Fredericksburg which I think is a good

2947
01:38:13,350 --> 01:38:13,650
thing.

2948
01:38:14,530 --> 01:38:15,890
And they all wear uniforms.

2949
01:38:16,070 --> 01:38:17,090
It was nice.

2950
01:38:17,410 --> 01:38:18,830
Oh, you went to a school where there

2951
01:38:18,830 --> 01:38:19,490
were uniforms.

2952
01:38:19,750 --> 01:38:21,430
Almost all the schools here have uniforms.

2953
01:38:23,430 --> 01:38:25,550
I think even the public school may have

2954
01:38:25,550 --> 01:38:25,950
a uniform.

2955
01:38:26,330 --> 01:38:26,730
I think.

2956
01:38:27,430 --> 01:38:28,450
Yeah, I'm for that.

2957
01:38:28,530 --> 01:38:29,750
I always liked that when we were in

2958
01:38:29,750 --> 01:38:32,270
England and Christina went to school, uniform.

2959
01:38:32,790 --> 01:38:33,990
You know, it takes away a lot of

2960
01:38:33,990 --> 01:38:34,330
issues.

2961
01:38:35,770 --> 01:38:37,610
You know, you don't have the cooler kicks

2962
01:38:37,610 --> 01:38:38,370
on or whatever.

2963
01:38:39,310 --> 01:38:40,970
Everyone's got the same duds.

2964
01:38:41,090 --> 01:38:41,710
No, I'm for that.

2965
01:38:41,790 --> 01:38:42,370
You against that?

2966
01:38:42,430 --> 01:38:44,470
You don't like uniforms at school?

2967
01:38:44,470 --> 01:38:48,330
Well, I've never gone to a school that

2968
01:38:48,330 --> 01:38:49,250
had uniforms.

2969
01:38:51,570 --> 01:38:52,050
Ever.

2970
01:38:52,810 --> 01:38:54,750
And I don't know anybody who did except

2971
01:38:54,750 --> 01:38:55,110
you.

2972
01:38:57,850 --> 01:38:59,530
So I can't say one way or the

2973
01:38:59,530 --> 01:38:59,670
other.

2974
01:38:59,810 --> 01:39:03,090
I think that theoretically, in some situations, it

2975
01:39:03,090 --> 01:39:04,150
would be a good idea.

2976
01:39:05,130 --> 01:39:07,250
But then again, it's kind of militaristic.

2977
01:39:08,130 --> 01:39:09,110
No, it's not.

2978
01:39:09,230 --> 01:39:10,610
Yeah, it's totally militaristic.

2979
01:39:10,610 --> 01:39:11,370
Hmm.

2980
01:39:12,270 --> 01:39:14,050
So no agenda millennial in the troll room

2981
01:39:14,050 --> 01:39:16,290
says, kids don't have phones, but they have

2982
01:39:16,290 --> 01:39:17,270
Adam Curry speak.

2983
01:39:17,410 --> 01:39:18,910
What the F kind of school is that?

2984
01:39:21,380 --> 01:39:22,740
This is what's happening, John.

2985
01:39:22,820 --> 01:39:23,960
We're alienating everybody.

2986
01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:25,480
Even the no agenda millennials.

2987
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:28,400
What?

2988
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:31,960
I don't think we've alienated any no agenda

2989
01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:32,620
millennials.

2990
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:34,940
Well, the no agenda millennial literally just said

2991
01:39:34,940 --> 01:39:35,220
that.

2992
01:39:35,900 --> 01:39:37,740
Yeah, but that's it still is.

2993
01:39:37,860 --> 01:39:38,340
Did he quit?

2994
01:39:38,440 --> 01:39:38,960
I quit.

2995
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:39,540
I'm off.

2996
01:39:39,700 --> 01:39:41,240
I'm quitting the chat room.

2997
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:42,600
Never hear from me again.

2998
01:39:42,740 --> 01:39:44,320
No, it would never do that.

2999
01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:46,400
Because, you know, that's that's where they get

3000
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:46,980
their feedback.

3001
01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:48,120
That's they need that.

3002
01:39:48,220 --> 01:39:49,400
They need the troll room.

3003
01:39:49,460 --> 01:39:51,200
They need it as part of their DNA.

3004
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:54,040
So here's a tick tock crowd for the

3005
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:54,500
elites.

3006
01:39:56,020 --> 01:39:59,980
Different venue to complain about America and Donald

3007
01:39:59,980 --> 01:40:00,320
Trump.

3008
01:40:00,480 --> 01:40:01,560
And guess where that is?

3009
01:40:01,940 --> 01:40:03,980
Con, baby, in France.

3010
01:40:04,140 --> 01:40:06,880
The 78th Cannes Film Festival opened on Tuesday,

3011
01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:10,020
bringing together the world's most famous cinema personalities

3012
01:40:10,020 --> 01:40:12,280
to celebrate another year of storytelling.

3013
01:40:12,740 --> 01:40:15,080
Day one featured a star studded lineup from

3014
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:18,640
world renowned filmmaker Quentin Tarantino to supermodel Bella

3015
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:19,120
Hadid.

3016
01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:22,520
American actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro,

3017
01:40:22,700 --> 01:40:25,100
who've worked alongside each other on three occasions,

3018
01:40:25,260 --> 01:40:26,840
stole the show on the opening day.

3019
01:40:27,620 --> 01:40:30,500
DiCaprio, who skipped the red carpet, awarded veteran

3020
01:40:30,500 --> 01:40:32,720
81 year old De Niro with an honorary

3021
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:33,500
Palme d'Or.

3022
01:40:34,060 --> 01:40:36,340
But every once in a while, even the

3023
01:40:36,340 --> 01:40:39,280
most private of giants deserves their moment.

3024
01:40:40,020 --> 01:40:42,720
A moment to be acknowledged, not just for

3025
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:46,060
their work, but for the quiet, lasting influence

3026
01:40:46,060 --> 01:40:47,900
they've had on so many lives.

3027
01:40:47,980 --> 01:40:50,120
We are so important, everybody.

3028
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:54,680
We, we, we are important to you.

3029
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:55,760
On my life.

3030
01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:59,020
So without trying to speak for the entire

3031
01:40:59,020 --> 01:41:01,400
world of cinema here tonight, but probably doing

3032
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:04,360
it anyway, there is no one more deserving

3033
01:41:04,360 --> 01:41:07,260
of this Palme d'Or lifetime achievement award.

3034
01:41:07,260 --> 01:41:10,680
Who is no more deserving for this Palme

3035
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:13,140
d'Or lifetime achievement award?

3036
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:15,100
Who is no more deserving?

3037
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:17,800
None of them.

3038
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:19,020
Can you give me a name?

3039
01:41:19,740 --> 01:41:21,200
Well, De Niro got it, didn't he?

3040
01:41:21,220 --> 01:41:23,000
Mr. Robert De Niro.

3041
01:41:24,260 --> 01:41:27,240
De Niro, an outspoken critic of Donald Trump,

3042
01:41:27,380 --> 01:41:29,640
quickly shifted the moment to politics as he

3043
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:32,380
slammed the US president for his administration's attacks

3044
01:41:32,380 --> 01:41:33,440
on arts and culture.

3045
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:39,360
America's Philistine president has had himself appointed head

3046
01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:41,360
of one of our premier cultural institutions.

3047
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:45,360
He has cut funding and support to the

3048
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:47,380
arts, humanities, and education.

3049
01:41:47,820 --> 01:41:50,720
And now he has announced a 100%

3050
01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:53,720
tariff on films produced outside the US.

3051
01:41:54,820 --> 01:41:56,160
Let that sink in for a minute.

3052
01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:57,120
Stop the clip for a second.

3053
01:41:58,180 --> 01:41:59,680
Couple of things to note.

3054
01:41:59,820 --> 01:42:00,840
Philistine was funny.

3055
01:42:03,070 --> 01:42:04,110
Couple of things to note.

3056
01:42:04,810 --> 01:42:07,350
Why is the government supporting the arts?

3057
01:42:07,890 --> 01:42:08,850
It's the government.

3058
01:42:09,210 --> 01:42:11,750
You don't want the government involved, it seems

3059
01:42:11,750 --> 01:42:13,250
to me, because they're going to try to

3060
01:42:13,250 --> 01:42:14,510
influence one way or the other.

3061
01:42:14,690 --> 01:42:15,470
So you don't want that.

3062
01:42:15,490 --> 01:42:16,550
I would say you are correct.

3063
01:42:17,830 --> 01:42:20,610
The second thing is the reason about taxing

3064
01:42:20,610 --> 01:42:24,050
the foreign films was as, which was not

3065
01:42:24,050 --> 01:42:26,450
fully understood by me when I first heard

3066
01:42:26,450 --> 01:42:29,190
about it, is to keep the business in

3067
01:42:29,190 --> 01:42:32,050
the United States and help locals make money,

3068
01:42:32,050 --> 01:42:35,470
the people in Los Angeles, the Angelenos, and

3069
01:42:35,470 --> 01:42:36,790
the people in New York.

3070
01:42:36,890 --> 01:42:38,770
He's got a studio that he built in

3071
01:42:38,770 --> 01:42:40,330
New York City with his buddy.

3072
01:42:40,570 --> 01:42:45,650
They built a giant soundstage, De Niro did,

3073
01:42:45,730 --> 01:42:47,570
and the idea is to keep the business

3074
01:42:47,570 --> 01:42:49,710
there and to keep the business in Hollywood.

3075
01:42:50,070 --> 01:42:52,210
So what's wrong with that exactly?

3076
01:42:53,570 --> 01:42:56,270
What's wrong is what's wrong between the ears

3077
01:42:56,270 --> 01:43:00,110
of Mr. De Niro, who I guess he

3078
01:43:00,110 --> 01:43:02,850
gets accolades for doing this, and he has

3079
01:43:02,850 --> 01:43:05,830
taken every opportunity at every award show for

3080
01:43:05,830 --> 01:43:10,610
the past eight years, maybe longer, to do

3081
01:43:10,610 --> 01:43:11,850
this at award shows.

3082
01:43:11,910 --> 01:43:14,670
Like, I'm going to show him, hold my

3083
01:43:14,670 --> 01:43:15,050
beer.

3084
01:43:15,350 --> 01:43:19,510
If you're the award show guys, I'd have

3085
01:43:19,510 --> 01:43:20,770
to say I'd probably do it.

3086
01:43:21,650 --> 01:43:23,390
Your worst show guy said, well, you know,

3087
01:43:23,430 --> 01:43:25,050
our awards aren't getting any attention.

3088
01:43:25,470 --> 01:43:26,550
What are we going to do?

3089
01:43:27,370 --> 01:43:29,630
No one ever pays attention to the con

3090
01:43:29,630 --> 01:43:30,790
Palme d'Or.

3091
01:43:31,310 --> 01:43:34,090
Well, no one's ever been televised, and I

3092
01:43:34,090 --> 01:43:36,170
know of the Palme d'Or, especially the

3093
01:43:36,170 --> 01:43:38,710
Lifetime Achievement Award, which who knows who got

3094
01:43:38,710 --> 01:43:38,830
it.

3095
01:43:38,910 --> 01:43:40,570
You name one person who's gotten it before,

3096
01:43:40,670 --> 01:43:41,730
I can't think of one.

3097
01:43:41,930 --> 01:43:44,590
But your original point is spot on.

3098
01:43:44,670 --> 01:43:46,770
You don't want, you don't actually want the

3099
01:43:46,770 --> 01:43:50,190
government involved in the arts for the obvious

3100
01:43:50,190 --> 01:43:51,030
reasons.

3101
01:43:51,710 --> 01:43:56,170
But here they are complaining because said the

3102
01:43:56,170 --> 01:43:59,430
millionaire De Niro, well, I'm not making enough

3103
01:43:59,430 --> 01:44:00,790
money now, I guess.

3104
01:44:00,830 --> 01:44:01,730
What else is he saying?

3105
01:44:01,750 --> 01:44:03,230
Because he's saying that they're cutting the money

3106
01:44:03,230 --> 01:44:03,530
off.

3107
01:44:03,610 --> 01:44:04,250
That's no good.

3108
01:44:04,730 --> 01:44:06,930
Or is he saying, because I hear a

3109
01:44:06,930 --> 01:44:08,790
lot of this too, like, so here I

3110
01:44:08,790 --> 01:44:13,010
am rich, rich director, producer, movie star.

3111
01:44:13,130 --> 01:44:13,990
I presume he's rich.

3112
01:44:14,070 --> 01:44:15,130
I have no idea.

3113
01:44:15,290 --> 01:44:16,170
But no, he's got plenty.

3114
01:44:16,190 --> 01:44:17,190
He's got plenty of money.

3115
01:44:17,210 --> 01:44:17,910
You would think he does.

3116
01:44:17,910 --> 01:44:20,510
What he's kind of saying is all those

3117
01:44:20,510 --> 01:44:23,530
little unsuccessful people get no chance like me.

3118
01:44:24,310 --> 01:44:25,130
That's what I mean.

3119
01:44:25,150 --> 01:44:27,450
It's very an elitist position to take.

3120
01:44:27,810 --> 01:44:30,110
It's like, well, all the things that are

3121
01:44:30,110 --> 01:44:32,750
not sponsored, you know, it's almost like the

3122
01:44:32,750 --> 01:44:33,650
music business.

3123
01:44:34,190 --> 01:44:36,250
You know, it's like, ah, the little people,

3124
01:44:36,350 --> 01:44:37,310
they have no chance.

3125
01:44:37,470 --> 01:44:38,550
They can't get on the radio.

3126
01:44:38,970 --> 01:44:40,070
They can't get on Spotify.

3127
01:44:41,910 --> 01:44:43,790
It's an elitist position.

3128
01:44:44,410 --> 01:44:46,250
He happens to be a very good actor.

3129
01:44:46,250 --> 01:44:48,250
And I think a decent director.

3130
01:44:48,510 --> 01:44:50,210
He's produced a lot of things, which means

3131
01:44:50,210 --> 01:44:51,330
he put his money into it.

3132
01:44:51,390 --> 01:44:52,650
I don't know if he's directed anything.

3133
01:44:52,850 --> 01:44:54,070
I think he's directed some things.

3134
01:44:54,850 --> 01:44:57,010
But even that series I watched on, I

3135
01:44:57,010 --> 01:44:58,530
think Netflix was, you know, about him being

3136
01:44:58,530 --> 01:44:59,430
president was good.

3137
01:44:59,610 --> 01:45:01,510
And I watched it because I wanted to

3138
01:45:01,510 --> 01:45:02,770
rid myself of bias.

3139
01:45:02,850 --> 01:45:05,190
And I'm very, I'm very able to separate

3140
01:45:05,190 --> 01:45:09,070
the arts and his art from him, the

3141
01:45:09,070 --> 01:45:09,490
person.

3142
01:45:10,010 --> 01:45:12,570
But remember, this is the guy who literally

3143
01:45:12,570 --> 01:45:16,330
was saying what Robert Kennedy Jr. saying now

3144
01:45:16,330 --> 01:45:19,570
about the MMR vaccine and has a child

3145
01:45:19,570 --> 01:45:20,770
with it and all this stuff.

3146
01:45:20,930 --> 01:45:22,710
It's just dark forces.

3147
01:45:23,690 --> 01:45:25,890
Hollywood must be controlled by Satan.

3148
01:45:26,430 --> 01:45:29,390
And support to the arts, humanities and education.

3149
01:45:29,990 --> 01:45:32,710
And now he has announced a 100%

3150
01:45:32,710 --> 01:45:35,790
tariff on films produced outside the U.S.

3151
01:45:36,630 --> 01:45:38,290
Let that sink in for a minute.

3152
01:45:38,530 --> 01:45:41,470
OK, I'm letting it sink in because he's

3153
01:45:41,470 --> 01:45:43,710
outside the U.S. He's trying to curry

3154
01:45:43,710 --> 01:45:48,490
favor to term to coin a term with

3155
01:45:48,490 --> 01:45:49,670
the foreign audience.

3156
01:45:50,350 --> 01:45:52,110
Fully well knowing that if you want to

3157
01:45:52,110 --> 01:45:54,090
be successful in the film business, you need

3158
01:45:54,090 --> 01:45:55,090
the American audience.

3159
01:45:56,670 --> 01:45:59,630
You can't put a price on creativity, but

3160
01:45:59,630 --> 01:46:01,390
apparently you can put it.

3161
01:46:01,570 --> 01:46:03,170
Well, why don't you work for 10 bucks

3162
01:46:03,170 --> 01:46:03,870
or scale?

3163
01:46:04,010 --> 01:46:04,970
Then it's creativity.

3164
01:46:05,050 --> 01:46:06,190
You can't put a price on it as

3165
01:46:06,190 --> 01:46:07,730
long as it's 10 million dollars a film.

3166
01:46:07,730 --> 01:46:11,330
You can't put a price on creativity, but

3167
01:46:11,330 --> 01:46:14,050
apparently you can put a tariff on it.

3168
01:46:14,810 --> 01:46:17,390
Of course, this is unacceptable.

3169
01:46:18,350 --> 01:46:20,890
All these attacks are unacceptable.

3170
01:46:21,970 --> 01:46:23,990
The opening ceremony concluded.

3171
01:46:24,330 --> 01:46:25,590
Yeah, unacceptable.

3172
01:46:25,930 --> 01:46:26,710
Poor Robert.

3173
01:46:30,070 --> 01:46:31,690
He made a he made a bad deal.

3174
01:46:32,090 --> 01:46:32,670
That's what happened.

3175
01:46:32,730 --> 01:46:35,130
He made a bad, bad deal and he

3176
01:46:35,130 --> 01:46:35,910
can't get out of it.

3177
01:46:36,170 --> 01:46:38,130
He has to stay stuck in that.

3178
01:46:40,970 --> 01:46:43,190
So Jake Tapper is out with his book.

3179
01:46:43,310 --> 01:46:44,290
He's shopping it around.

3180
01:46:44,370 --> 01:46:45,490
Have you had a chance to read his

3181
01:46:45,490 --> 01:46:45,770
book?

3182
01:46:46,670 --> 01:46:47,430
No, I have not.

3183
01:46:47,550 --> 01:46:47,850
Have you?

3184
01:46:48,190 --> 01:46:48,870
Of course not.

3185
01:46:49,110 --> 01:46:49,890
But it's about.

3186
01:46:51,090 --> 01:46:51,930
Of course not.

3187
01:46:52,450 --> 01:46:54,530
They did not send me an advanced copy.

3188
01:46:54,610 --> 01:46:55,710
So how could I read it?

3189
01:46:56,430 --> 01:46:58,350
They didn't ask me to do a blurb.

3190
01:46:58,390 --> 01:46:59,230
So what can I say?

3191
01:46:59,310 --> 01:47:02,130
Otherwise, I would have been like best analysis

3192
01:47:02,130 --> 01:47:04,350
of the Biden presidency ever.

3193
01:47:05,590 --> 01:47:06,130
So here he is.

3194
01:47:06,270 --> 01:47:07,810
Well, I don't have the clips.

3195
01:47:07,810 --> 01:47:09,950
At least as a good.

3196
01:47:10,510 --> 01:47:13,570
But I will say this, that Fox in

3197
01:47:13,570 --> 01:47:16,150
particular are spiking the ball because they were

3198
01:47:16,150 --> 01:47:19,870
under Biden being seen a little fart forever.

3199
01:47:20,450 --> 01:47:21,650
And so they have.

3200
01:47:21,770 --> 01:47:25,210
So they've found every clip from Tapper's past

3201
01:47:25,210 --> 01:47:26,090
that they can.

3202
01:47:26,210 --> 01:47:27,070
I have that one.

3203
01:47:27,750 --> 01:47:29,930
Well, there's the one about with Laura Trump,

3204
01:47:30,030 --> 01:47:33,030
but there's a ton more.

3205
01:47:33,330 --> 01:47:34,170
I have a ton more.

3206
01:47:34,730 --> 01:47:35,610
Well, let's play him.

3207
01:47:35,770 --> 01:47:36,410
Well, you want that?

3208
01:47:36,410 --> 01:47:39,130
You want to hear the the promotion of

3209
01:47:39,130 --> 01:47:39,930
the book first?

3210
01:47:41,030 --> 01:47:43,010
I want to hear the hear the clips

3211
01:47:43,010 --> 01:47:44,570
first, then the promotion of the book.

3212
01:47:44,790 --> 01:47:45,950
How do you think it makes little kids

3213
01:47:45,950 --> 01:47:48,410
with stutters feel when they see you make

3214
01:47:48,410 --> 01:47:49,290
a comment like that?

3215
01:47:49,430 --> 01:47:51,730
It's very clearly a cognitive decline.

3216
01:47:52,010 --> 01:47:53,230
That's what I'm referring to.

3217
01:47:53,290 --> 01:47:54,350
It makes me uncomfortable.

3218
01:47:54,510 --> 01:47:55,630
You have you are no.

3219
01:47:56,570 --> 01:47:57,970
This is so amazing.

3220
01:47:58,130 --> 01:47:59,270
It's so amazing to me that.

3221
01:47:59,550 --> 01:48:01,270
And then try and figure out an answer.

3222
01:48:01,270 --> 01:48:04,390
Cognitive decline of Biden embraces his stutter talking

3223
01:48:04,390 --> 01:48:06,990
about it while Trump mocks it, exaggerates it,

3224
01:48:07,170 --> 01:48:07,590
belittles it.

3225
01:48:07,690 --> 01:48:08,930
He's sharp physically.

3226
01:48:09,130 --> 01:48:10,170
I mean, mentally.

3227
01:48:10,370 --> 01:48:12,430
I think the question is physically right.

3228
01:48:12,550 --> 01:48:12,690
Right.

3229
01:48:12,730 --> 01:48:13,050
Or so.

3230
01:48:13,290 --> 01:48:13,430
Right.

3231
01:48:13,510 --> 01:48:13,650
Right.

3232
01:48:13,690 --> 01:48:15,710
And the guy who's his chief opponent is

3233
01:48:15,710 --> 01:48:17,110
only three or four years younger than me.

3234
01:48:17,250 --> 01:48:19,110
I mean, you have questioned President Biden's age,

3235
01:48:19,190 --> 01:48:22,090
mental fitness, ability to lead of those supporting

3236
01:48:22,090 --> 01:48:22,430
Biden.

3237
01:48:22,610 --> 01:48:23,850
You said, quote, shame on all of you

3238
01:48:23,850 --> 01:48:24,950
pretending everything is OK.

3239
01:48:25,030 --> 01:48:26,570
You're leading us and him into a disaster.

3240
01:48:27,090 --> 01:48:28,670
Do you worry that you damaged him at

3241
01:48:28,670 --> 01:48:28,850
all?

3242
01:48:28,850 --> 01:48:31,090
I don't doubt that you got hugs and

3243
01:48:31,090 --> 01:48:34,670
handshakes behind closed doors today and maybe even

3244
01:48:34,670 --> 01:48:36,890
publicly some of them because they like you

3245
01:48:36,890 --> 01:48:37,350
personally.

3246
01:48:37,910 --> 01:48:40,650
But I've heard a lot of really nasty

3247
01:48:40,650 --> 01:48:42,410
stuff about you from your Democratic colleagues.

3248
01:48:42,650 --> 01:48:44,950
I mean, just like what is he thinking?

3249
01:48:45,490 --> 01:48:47,010
Exercise and narcissism.

3250
01:48:47,130 --> 01:48:48,730
I mean, false claims to The Wall Street

3251
01:48:48,730 --> 01:48:52,570
Journal about President Biden's mental fitness and acuity.

3252
01:48:52,710 --> 01:48:54,690
He's 81 claims and his memory.

3253
01:48:54,830 --> 01:48:56,230
You know, it doesn't seem great.

3254
01:48:56,290 --> 01:48:57,030
It's not horrible.

3255
01:48:57,030 --> 01:49:00,050
But I don't understand the outrage behind closed

3256
01:49:00,050 --> 01:49:00,330
doors.

3257
01:49:00,530 --> 01:49:02,730
Biden's shows signs of slipping.

3258
01:49:03,070 --> 01:49:03,310
Unquote.

3259
01:49:03,490 --> 01:49:04,830
The Wall Street Journal is owned by News

3260
01:49:04,830 --> 01:49:06,590
Corp, which is run by the Murdoch's.

3261
01:49:06,690 --> 01:49:06,910
Oh, yeah.

3262
01:49:07,010 --> 01:49:08,970
Beyond the headline, there is some critical nuance

3263
01:49:08,970 --> 01:49:09,150
here.

3264
01:49:09,230 --> 01:49:11,790
The article is mostly based on observations of

3265
01:49:11,790 --> 01:49:14,290
Republicans with former speaker Kevin McCarthy, the only

3266
01:49:14,290 --> 01:49:16,330
one going on the record.

3267
01:49:16,450 --> 01:49:18,410
They do note in the article that most

3268
01:49:18,410 --> 01:49:20,050
of the criticism comes from Republicans.

3269
01:49:20,070 --> 01:49:23,770
Have you heard any concerns from anyone who

3270
01:49:23,770 --> 01:49:26,250
has met with President Biden about him seeing

3271
01:49:26,250 --> 01:49:27,330
a little slower?

3272
01:49:27,650 --> 01:49:29,810
No, the Russians are trying to do to

3273
01:49:29,810 --> 01:49:32,050
make us and the public not trust the

3274
01:49:32,050 --> 01:49:33,090
our election integrity.

3275
01:49:33,510 --> 01:49:35,670
Joe Biden has dimension, all this stuff.

3276
01:49:35,850 --> 01:49:36,770
It's all crazy.

3277
01:49:36,890 --> 01:49:37,650
It's all crazy.

3278
01:49:37,790 --> 01:49:40,510
Jake Tapper on the defense for years and

3279
01:49:40,510 --> 01:49:42,570
now years and years and years.

3280
01:49:42,650 --> 01:49:43,830
He did this continually.

3281
01:49:44,970 --> 01:49:47,390
Laura Trump is still demanding an apology.

3282
01:49:47,750 --> 01:49:50,230
He brought he's the one who promoted the

3283
01:49:50,230 --> 01:49:51,110
stuttering idea.

3284
01:49:51,190 --> 01:49:53,790
And as somebody pointed out, we've noticed this.

3285
01:49:54,010 --> 01:49:55,130
He never stuttered before.

3286
01:49:55,130 --> 01:49:57,430
Never had a stutter in his maybe when

3287
01:49:57,430 --> 01:50:00,030
he was three, but he never stuttered throughout

3288
01:50:00,030 --> 01:50:02,170
his career as a senator or even the

3289
01:50:02,170 --> 01:50:02,750
vice president.

3290
01:50:02,890 --> 01:50:04,250
Now, all of a sudden, he's a stutterer.

3291
01:50:04,930 --> 01:50:06,990
You know, so Jake Tapper is a big

3292
01:50:06,990 --> 01:50:07,450
phony.

3293
01:50:07,690 --> 01:50:10,010
Well, what's amazing is how Jake Tapper can

3294
01:50:10,010 --> 01:50:11,470
get up in the morning and shave and

3295
01:50:11,470 --> 01:50:13,650
look at himself and think, yeah, I wrote

3296
01:50:13,650 --> 01:50:14,090
a good book.

3297
01:50:14,170 --> 01:50:16,290
A new book is outlining new claims about

3298
01:50:16,290 --> 01:50:19,030
former President Biden's physical and mental health.

3299
01:50:19,130 --> 01:50:22,090
The book Original Sin claims Biden's health had

3300
01:50:22,090 --> 01:50:24,670
become so severe that there were internal discussions

3301
01:50:24,670 --> 01:50:27,190
about putting the president in a wheelchair after

3302
01:50:27,190 --> 01:50:27,790
the election.

3303
01:50:28,050 --> 01:50:30,870
They started putting aids around him as he

3304
01:50:30,870 --> 01:50:33,470
walked to Marine One, the helicopter that was

3305
01:50:33,470 --> 01:50:35,750
to kind of hide from public view how

3306
01:50:35,750 --> 01:50:38,030
bad his gait was, how bad his walking

3307
01:50:38,030 --> 01:50:38,370
was.

3308
01:50:38,430 --> 01:50:40,290
At a fundraiser last year with actor George

3309
01:50:40,290 --> 01:50:43,210
Clooney, the author's claim Biden seemed severely diminished

3310
01:50:43,210 --> 01:50:46,030
and did not recognize Clooney despite Biden knowing

3311
01:50:46,030 --> 01:50:46,910
him for decades.

3312
01:50:47,170 --> 01:50:49,690
According to the book, former President Obama, also

3313
01:50:49,690 --> 01:50:52,370
at that fundraiser, had difficulty making sense of

3314
01:50:52,370 --> 01:50:55,170
Biden's behavior and blamed Biden's busy schedule.

3315
01:50:55,350 --> 01:50:57,310
But the authors say Obama would come to

3316
01:50:57,310 --> 01:51:00,110
realize that scheduling was not the fundamental problem.

3317
01:51:00,430 --> 01:51:02,890
A Biden spokesperson refutes the book, saying, we

3318
01:51:02,890 --> 01:51:05,330
continue to await anything that shows where Joe

3319
01:51:05,330 --> 01:51:07,670
Biden had to make a presidential decision or

3320
01:51:07,670 --> 01:51:10,190
where national security was threatened or where he

3321
01:51:10,190 --> 01:51:11,750
was unable to do his job.

3322
01:51:11,890 --> 01:51:13,930
In fact, the evidence points to the opposite.

3323
01:51:14,190 --> 01:51:15,750
He was a very effective president.

3324
01:51:16,090 --> 01:51:18,090
Last week, Biden and the former first lady

3325
01:51:18,090 --> 01:51:19,990
pushed back against a slate of new books

3326
01:51:19,990 --> 01:51:22,550
claiming he was dealing with cognitive decline at

3327
01:51:22,550 --> 01:51:23,610
the end of his presidency.

3328
01:51:24,130 --> 01:51:24,810
You are wrong.

3329
01:51:25,570 --> 01:51:27,650
There's nothing to sustain that.

3330
01:51:28,010 --> 01:51:30,470
The people who wrote those books were not

3331
01:51:30,470 --> 01:51:32,010
in the White House with us.

3332
01:51:32,190 --> 01:51:35,110
And they didn't see how hard Joe worked

3333
01:51:35,110 --> 01:51:37,490
every single day.

3334
01:51:37,810 --> 01:51:39,970
A Biden spokesperson says the authors did not

3335
01:51:39,970 --> 01:51:41,410
fact check the book with them.

3336
01:51:41,730 --> 01:51:42,910
That's the best part.

3337
01:51:43,530 --> 01:51:44,890
It didn't fact check it, man.

3338
01:51:45,050 --> 01:51:45,790
None of it's true.

3339
01:51:46,270 --> 01:51:48,310
This is, it's just amazing.

3340
01:51:49,750 --> 01:51:52,170
Did ABC Good Morning America call them out

3341
01:51:52,170 --> 01:51:54,890
for like, hey, everyone defended this sharp as

3342
01:51:54,890 --> 01:51:56,330
attack over and over.

3343
01:51:56,470 --> 01:51:57,210
And now, oh, it's a great.

3344
01:51:57,690 --> 01:52:00,050
Does ABC own a publishing company like CBS

3345
01:52:00,050 --> 01:52:00,410
does?

3346
01:52:00,650 --> 01:52:01,410
Is that possible?

3347
01:52:01,610 --> 01:52:02,110
I think they do.

3348
01:52:02,190 --> 01:52:03,590
But I don't think that's the group that

3349
01:52:03,590 --> 01:52:04,430
brought the book out.

3350
01:52:04,770 --> 01:52:05,250
It's, I was.

3351
01:52:06,470 --> 01:52:08,430
So there's a couple of different things here.

3352
01:52:08,730 --> 01:52:11,730
But you continue and I'll, I was going

3353
01:52:11,730 --> 01:52:14,030
to say was they should stop all of

3354
01:52:14,030 --> 01:52:14,210
this.

3355
01:52:14,290 --> 01:52:15,510
It's just elder abuse.

3356
01:52:15,610 --> 01:52:16,550
The guy's over.

3357
01:52:16,710 --> 01:52:17,290
He's done.

3358
01:52:17,290 --> 01:52:19,110
It's like, let him just leave the guy

3359
01:52:19,110 --> 01:52:19,630
be.

3360
01:52:20,030 --> 01:52:20,790
Here's the problem.

3361
01:52:21,010 --> 01:52:22,250
Here's the problem I have.

3362
01:52:23,230 --> 01:52:27,070
The 25th Amendment doesn't work.

3363
01:52:27,390 --> 01:52:28,990
It doesn't do Jack.

3364
01:52:29,230 --> 01:52:30,210
It's pretty obvious.

3365
01:52:30,330 --> 01:52:32,410
It wasn't from the last month of this

3366
01:52:32,410 --> 01:52:33,390
administration.

3367
01:52:33,570 --> 01:52:36,470
We saw it when he's wandering around, going

3368
01:52:36,470 --> 01:52:37,330
into the jungle.

3369
01:52:37,610 --> 01:52:40,410
He's loses his train of thought.

3370
01:52:41,850 --> 01:52:43,990
Constantly losing his train of thought and then

3371
01:52:43,990 --> 01:52:45,150
screaming dignity.

3372
01:52:45,770 --> 01:52:47,230
And one thing or another.

3373
01:52:47,970 --> 01:52:50,050
And obviously other people were running the White

3374
01:52:50,050 --> 01:52:50,270
House.

3375
01:52:50,470 --> 01:52:52,950
And there was the auto pen signing the

3376
01:52:52,950 --> 01:52:53,510
documents.

3377
01:52:53,690 --> 01:52:56,490
The 25th Amendment is a fraud.

3378
01:52:56,790 --> 01:52:57,890
It doesn't work.

3379
01:52:58,050 --> 01:52:59,870
No, it's never going to get executed.

3380
01:53:00,090 --> 01:53:01,150
There has to be a coup.

3381
01:53:02,570 --> 01:53:04,230
Do you, what do you recommend?

3382
01:53:04,870 --> 01:53:05,670
I don't know.

3383
01:53:05,950 --> 01:53:07,690
I think it has to go to Congress

3384
01:53:07,690 --> 01:53:09,790
or somebody or some other form.

3385
01:53:09,870 --> 01:53:12,030
I mean, the Congress could impeach, but that's

3386
01:53:12,030 --> 01:53:14,570
no good because it's pretty almost impossible in

3387
01:53:14,570 --> 01:53:15,190
this day and age.

3388
01:53:15,230 --> 01:53:16,310
We know that doesn't work.

3389
01:53:16,750 --> 01:53:18,490
Well, it won't work because you can't get

3390
01:53:18,490 --> 01:53:20,450
enough people in the Senate because you need

3391
01:53:20,450 --> 01:53:22,670
like 60 or 70 people to say yes.

3392
01:53:23,210 --> 01:53:24,390
And that's not going to happen.

3393
01:53:25,990 --> 01:53:27,290
And I don't know.

3394
01:53:27,410 --> 01:53:28,290
I have no idea.

3395
01:53:28,390 --> 01:53:30,470
All I know is that the 25th Amendment's

3396
01:53:30,470 --> 01:53:31,150
a fraud.

3397
01:53:31,730 --> 01:53:34,010
It was put in place because of Wilson.

3398
01:53:34,690 --> 01:53:37,410
And this situation would have been the one

3399
01:53:37,410 --> 01:53:39,070
where it should have been executed.

3400
01:53:39,370 --> 01:53:41,810
But nobody's going to bring themselves to do

3401
01:53:41,810 --> 01:53:41,970
it.

3402
01:53:41,970 --> 01:53:44,350
Well, government is a fraud in that regard

3403
01:53:44,350 --> 01:53:44,590
then.

3404
01:53:45,390 --> 01:53:47,890
It's a governmental amendment, you know, the Senate

3405
01:53:47,890 --> 01:53:50,910
and the Cabinet, and they can do this.

3406
01:53:51,750 --> 01:53:53,030
But they don't.

3407
01:53:53,790 --> 01:53:57,350
Because they were running the show and they

3408
01:53:57,350 --> 01:53:57,810
loved it.

3409
01:53:58,170 --> 01:53:58,830
Anthony Blinken.

3410
01:53:58,950 --> 01:53:59,950
Where's Anthony, by the way?

3411
01:53:59,990 --> 01:54:00,490
What's he doing?

3412
01:54:02,170 --> 01:54:03,970
Does he have his consulting business up and

3413
01:54:03,970 --> 01:54:04,370
running yet?

3414
01:54:04,390 --> 01:54:06,250
No, he's probably working for some think tank.

3415
01:54:07,030 --> 01:54:07,870
He'll be back.

3416
01:54:07,870 --> 01:54:10,470
So of all the big news that the

3417
01:54:10,470 --> 01:54:13,790
president had, which is, you know, trillions, well,

3418
01:54:13,850 --> 01:54:17,890
no, he had $600 billion in deals, deals

3419
01:54:17,890 --> 01:54:18,710
everywhere, deals.

3420
01:54:19,330 --> 01:54:21,110
Of course, we're going to spend a trillion,

3421
01:54:21,310 --> 01:54:23,730
we heard on defense, which is a good

3422
01:54:23,730 --> 01:54:26,290
100 to 200 billion more than the last,

3423
01:54:26,510 --> 01:54:29,530
the last, the last, the last completely waste

3424
01:54:29,530 --> 01:54:31,370
of money for an operation that can't be

3425
01:54:31,370 --> 01:54:31,730
audited.

3426
01:54:31,930 --> 01:54:33,350
The last big, beautiful bill.

3427
01:54:34,310 --> 01:54:36,870
But I think the, the drug price executive

3428
01:54:36,870 --> 01:54:43,230
order was, was big news because outside, you

3429
01:54:43,230 --> 01:54:49,750
know, Congress is very hesitant to ever do

3430
01:54:49,750 --> 01:54:51,490
anything against insurance companies.

3431
01:54:51,590 --> 01:54:54,430
And of course, the unspoken of middlemen, the

3432
01:54:54,430 --> 01:54:55,910
pharmacy benefit managers.

3433
01:54:56,570 --> 01:55:00,190
And President Trump did just a beautiful job

3434
01:55:00,190 --> 01:55:04,130
of explaining how massive the scam is of

3435
01:55:04,130 --> 01:55:08,010
the overpayment we make in the United States

3436
01:55:08,010 --> 01:55:12,270
with the insurance and the drug companies and

3437
01:55:12,270 --> 01:55:15,690
the pharmacy benefit managers, where your copay is

3438
01:55:15,690 --> 01:55:17,750
basically what every other country in the world

3439
01:55:17,750 --> 01:55:19,070
pays for something.

3440
01:55:19,270 --> 01:55:20,870
But somehow you got screwed.

3441
01:55:21,690 --> 01:55:24,930
And you're still paying premiums for something.

3442
01:55:24,930 --> 01:55:27,410
You have to pay the premiums and you

3443
01:55:27,410 --> 01:55:29,190
have to pay the drug price to the

3444
01:55:29,190 --> 01:55:31,370
premiums just to go into somebody's pocket.

3445
01:55:31,490 --> 01:55:32,770
That's just like stealing.

3446
01:55:33,030 --> 01:55:34,430
It's completely stealing.

3447
01:55:34,550 --> 01:55:36,570
Of course, insurance companies really are nothing more

3448
01:55:36,570 --> 01:55:37,430
or less than banks.

3449
01:55:37,850 --> 01:55:39,930
And that's why everyone's deathly afraid of them.

3450
01:55:40,030 --> 01:55:40,690
They don't do anything.

3451
01:55:41,130 --> 01:55:42,970
But President Trump brought it to the people

3452
01:55:42,970 --> 01:55:45,610
and he explained very well what was going

3453
01:55:45,610 --> 01:55:45,930
on.

3454
01:55:46,030 --> 01:55:47,330
I thought this was probably one of the

3455
01:55:47,330 --> 01:55:49,690
best things he's ever done when it comes

3456
01:55:49,690 --> 01:55:50,950
to explaining the problem.

3457
01:55:51,090 --> 01:55:52,690
I brought it up with the drug companies

3458
01:55:52,690 --> 01:55:54,430
represented by somebody who's very, very.

3459
01:55:54,430 --> 01:55:55,410
I'm sorry, wrong one here.

3460
01:55:55,750 --> 01:55:56,530
I mean, I'll tell you a story.

3461
01:55:56,610 --> 01:56:00,090
A friend of mine who's a businessman, very,

3462
01:56:00,190 --> 01:56:02,110
very, very top guy.

3463
01:56:02,170 --> 01:56:03,370
Most of you would have heard of him.

3464
01:56:03,770 --> 01:56:03,870
Yep.

3465
01:56:04,270 --> 01:56:04,990
Highly neurotic.

3466
01:56:05,410 --> 01:56:05,530
Who?

3467
01:56:05,710 --> 01:56:08,830
What fat neurotic guy do we know that's

3468
01:56:08,830 --> 01:56:09,590
very successful?

3469
01:56:09,730 --> 01:56:10,330
Who could this be?

3470
01:56:10,410 --> 01:56:10,750
Plenty of them.

3471
01:56:10,870 --> 01:56:11,130
Okay.

3472
01:56:11,250 --> 01:56:14,590
Brilliant businessman, seriously overweight.

3473
01:56:15,470 --> 01:56:17,910
And he takes the fat, the fat shot.

3474
01:56:18,030 --> 01:56:18,610
The fat shot.

3475
01:56:21,650 --> 01:56:22,650
Everybody loved this.

3476
01:56:22,750 --> 01:56:24,030
The fat, the fat shot.

3477
01:56:24,030 --> 01:56:25,390
He's taking the fat shot.

3478
01:56:26,310 --> 01:56:27,270
And he called me up.

3479
01:56:27,950 --> 01:56:31,350
And he said, President, he calls me.

3480
01:56:31,470 --> 01:56:32,370
He used to call me Donald.

3481
01:56:32,390 --> 01:56:33,370
Now he calls me president.

3482
01:56:33,510 --> 01:56:34,630
So that's nice respect.

3483
01:56:34,770 --> 01:56:35,430
But he's a rough guy.

3484
01:56:35,510 --> 01:56:36,110
Smart guy.

3485
01:56:36,310 --> 01:56:36,830
Rough guy.

3486
01:56:37,670 --> 01:56:38,470
Very successful.

3487
01:56:38,830 --> 01:56:40,970
I wouldn't even know how we would know

3488
01:56:40,970 --> 01:56:41,250
this.

3489
01:56:41,330 --> 01:56:43,270
But because he's got comments, the president, could

3490
01:56:43,270 --> 01:56:44,110
I ask you a question?

3491
01:56:44,210 --> 01:56:44,410
What?

3492
01:56:44,790 --> 01:56:47,670
I'm in London and I just paid for

3493
01:56:47,670 --> 01:56:49,550
this damn fat drug I take.

3494
01:56:49,750 --> 01:56:50,870
I said, it's not working.

3495
01:56:51,550 --> 01:56:53,230
I love the Trump throws that in.

3496
01:56:53,230 --> 01:56:54,510
It's not working, right?

3497
01:56:54,570 --> 01:56:55,190
Is that the problem?

3498
01:56:55,250 --> 01:56:55,690
It's not working.

3499
01:56:55,750 --> 01:56:56,890
No, man, it's too.

3500
01:56:57,030 --> 01:56:57,770
I'm a billionaire.

3501
01:56:58,030 --> 01:56:58,650
It's too expensive.

3502
01:56:58,750 --> 01:56:59,450
This fat shot.

3503
01:56:59,950 --> 01:57:04,730
He said, he said, I just paid $88.

3504
01:57:05,790 --> 01:57:08,190
And in New York, I pay $1,300.

3505
01:57:08,810 --> 01:57:10,450
What the hell is going on?

3506
01:57:11,270 --> 01:57:12,730
He said, so I checked.

3507
01:57:13,410 --> 01:57:16,110
And it's the same box made in the

3508
01:57:16,110 --> 01:57:19,130
same plant by the same company.

3509
01:57:19,270 --> 01:57:21,630
It's the identical pill that I buy in

3510
01:57:21,630 --> 01:57:22,090
New York.

3511
01:57:22,090 --> 01:57:23,250
Hey, hold on a second.

3512
01:57:25,250 --> 01:57:26,010
It was a shot.

3513
01:57:26,110 --> 01:57:26,830
Now it's a pill.

3514
01:57:27,430 --> 01:57:29,290
Yeah, there's a bunch of people that jumped

3515
01:57:29,290 --> 01:57:29,790
on that.

3516
01:57:29,850 --> 01:57:30,530
That's interesting.

3517
01:57:30,910 --> 01:57:32,550
Do you think that was just an oversight

3518
01:57:32,550 --> 01:57:33,270
on his part?

3519
01:57:33,370 --> 01:57:34,230
He just made a mistake?

3520
01:57:34,870 --> 01:57:37,790
Yeah, he's doing winging it.

3521
01:57:37,810 --> 01:57:38,410
He's doing stick.

3522
01:57:38,770 --> 01:57:39,430
He's doing stick.

3523
01:57:39,430 --> 01:57:40,530
He's doing a stick.

3524
01:57:41,070 --> 01:57:42,470
He just is not rehearsed.

3525
01:57:42,990 --> 01:57:44,850
Most of his material that's funny is just

3526
01:57:44,850 --> 01:57:48,450
off the cuff and he's working it.

3527
01:57:48,610 --> 01:57:48,770
Yeah.

3528
01:57:48,770 --> 01:57:51,510
And it's the same box made in the

3529
01:57:51,510 --> 01:57:54,530
same plant by the same company.

3530
01:57:54,710 --> 01:57:57,050
It's the identical pill that I buy in

3531
01:57:57,050 --> 01:57:57,490
New York.

3532
01:57:58,470 --> 01:58:00,850
And here I'm paying $88 in London.

3533
01:58:01,950 --> 01:58:04,250
In New York, I'm paying $1,300.

3534
01:58:04,790 --> 01:58:05,910
Now this is a great businessman.

3535
01:58:06,290 --> 01:58:08,990
So but he's not familiar with this crazy

3536
01:58:08,990 --> 01:58:10,250
situation that we have.

3537
01:58:10,710 --> 01:58:12,150
But he was stunned.

3538
01:58:12,650 --> 01:58:13,210
Stunned.

3539
01:58:13,290 --> 01:58:13,910
He was stunned.

3540
01:58:14,010 --> 01:58:16,550
And so then what does our president do?

3541
01:58:16,590 --> 01:58:18,330
He goes and talks to the drug companies.

3542
01:58:18,330 --> 01:58:21,470
Hey, drug man, the fat shot.

3543
01:58:21,550 --> 01:58:23,130
Why is it so cheap over there and

3544
01:58:23,130 --> 01:58:24,310
so expensive over here?

3545
01:58:24,410 --> 01:58:26,090
I brought it up with the drug companies

3546
01:58:26,090 --> 01:58:28,230
represented by somebody who's very, very smart.

3547
01:58:28,610 --> 01:58:29,630
Good person too.

3548
01:58:30,590 --> 01:58:32,230
And we argued about it for about half

3549
01:58:32,230 --> 01:58:32,550
hour.

3550
01:58:32,610 --> 01:58:34,650
And then finally, he just said, because they

3551
01:58:34,650 --> 01:58:35,610
can't justify it.

3552
01:58:36,390 --> 01:58:39,170
He just said, look, look, you got me.

3553
01:58:39,350 --> 01:58:39,850
You got me.

3554
01:58:39,950 --> 01:58:40,570
Yeah, you got me.

3555
01:58:40,650 --> 01:58:42,510
Prez, you got me.

3556
01:58:42,690 --> 01:58:43,230
You got me.

3557
01:58:43,490 --> 01:58:45,030
It's like a couple of gangsters are on

3558
01:58:45,030 --> 01:58:45,430
a table.

3559
01:58:45,910 --> 01:58:47,290
Hey, man, how come that vig is so

3560
01:58:47,290 --> 01:58:47,450
high?

3561
01:58:47,450 --> 01:58:49,710
Hey, Mario, you got me.

3562
01:58:49,850 --> 01:58:50,670
You got me.

3563
01:58:50,750 --> 01:58:51,230
You got me.

3564
01:58:51,230 --> 01:58:52,090
I can no longer just.

3565
01:58:52,230 --> 01:58:55,250
They've been justifying this crap for years.

3566
01:58:55,370 --> 01:58:56,970
They said, oh, it's research and development.

3567
01:58:57,090 --> 01:58:58,930
I said, well, research and development.

3568
01:58:59,050 --> 01:59:01,230
Other countries should pay research and development too.

3569
01:59:01,330 --> 01:59:02,130
It's for their benefit.

3570
01:59:02,910 --> 01:59:04,090
It was just one of those things.

3571
01:59:04,330 --> 01:59:06,930
And the other countries would set a price

3572
01:59:06,930 --> 01:59:08,370
and they'd meet the price.

3573
01:59:08,430 --> 01:59:10,570
And they'd say, if you don't meet the

3574
01:59:10,570 --> 01:59:12,110
price, you can't sell it in our country.

3575
01:59:12,970 --> 01:59:14,370
I said, well, then you walk away.

3576
01:59:14,630 --> 01:59:16,110
And, you know, they'll call you back and

3577
01:59:16,110 --> 01:59:17,050
they'll sell it in the country.

3578
01:59:17,050 --> 01:59:18,390
But now they'll have to do that.

3579
01:59:18,990 --> 01:59:20,750
So for the first time in many years,

3580
01:59:20,830 --> 01:59:22,890
we'll slash the cost of prescription drugs.

3581
01:59:23,030 --> 01:59:25,110
And we will bring fairness to America.

3582
01:59:25,290 --> 01:59:29,670
Drug prices will come down by much more,

3583
01:59:29,730 --> 01:59:30,390
really, if you think.

3584
01:59:30,470 --> 01:59:30,830
59.

3585
01:59:30,990 --> 01:59:33,650
If you think of a drug that is

3586
01:59:33,650 --> 01:59:36,990
sometimes 10 times more expensive, it's much more

3587
01:59:36,990 --> 01:59:38,410
than the 59%.

3588
01:59:38,930 --> 01:59:40,070
You know, it depends on the way you

3589
01:59:40,070 --> 01:59:40,950
want to analyze it.

3590
01:59:40,990 --> 01:59:42,550
But in one way, you could analyze it

3591
01:59:42,550 --> 01:59:42,970
that way.

3592
01:59:42,970 --> 01:59:45,890
But between 59 and 80, and I guess

3593
01:59:45,890 --> 01:59:46,410
even 90%.

3594
01:59:48,830 --> 01:59:50,550
So when I worked so hard in the

3595
01:59:50,550 --> 01:59:53,070
first term, and if I got prices down,

3596
01:59:53,190 --> 01:59:54,630
I remember I was the only one to

3597
01:59:54,630 --> 01:59:56,470
ever get prices down for a full year.

3598
01:59:56,910 --> 01:59:58,550
But I'd get them down like 2%.

3599
01:59:58,550 --> 01:59:59,710
And I thought it was like a big

3600
01:59:59,710 --> 01:59:59,970
deal.

3601
02:00:00,070 --> 02:00:03,810
Well, we're getting them down 60, 70, 80,

3602
02:00:03,990 --> 02:00:04,890
90%.

3603
02:00:07,330 --> 02:00:09,790
So have you read the executive order about

3604
02:00:09,790 --> 02:00:10,090
this?

3605
02:00:10,590 --> 02:00:12,210
No, you have it right there, though.

3606
02:00:12,210 --> 02:00:12,970
Of course I do.

3607
02:00:13,570 --> 02:00:14,910
There's a couple of things that are of

3608
02:00:14,910 --> 02:00:18,010
note, and this kind of flows into another

3609
02:00:18,010 --> 02:00:19,830
freak out, not here in Fred, of course.

3610
02:00:20,590 --> 02:00:22,570
Another freak out is about Medicare.

3611
02:00:23,590 --> 02:00:26,130
That, you know, the big, beautiful bill, because

3612
02:00:26,130 --> 02:00:28,370
they never really explained this part.

3613
02:00:29,190 --> 02:00:32,630
The big, beautiful bill will have, you know,

3614
02:00:32,770 --> 02:00:34,670
Medicare steep, steep cuts.

3615
02:00:34,770 --> 02:00:35,510
Here, actually, I'll play this.

3616
02:00:35,570 --> 02:00:37,710
House Speaker Mike Johnson today working to solve

3617
02:00:37,710 --> 02:00:39,150
Republican in-party fighting.

3618
02:00:39,290 --> 02:00:40,590
I think we'll get everybody to yes.

3619
02:00:40,590 --> 02:00:43,210
As their proposed cuts to Medicaid divide the

3620
02:00:43,210 --> 02:00:43,590
party.

3621
02:00:43,810 --> 02:00:45,890
Late Sunday, Johnson unveiling their plan to cut

3622
02:00:45,890 --> 02:00:48,630
hundreds of billions of dollars to Medicaid, fueling

3623
02:00:48,630 --> 02:00:51,010
concerns it would leave millions of low-income

3624
02:00:51,010 --> 02:00:53,270
and disabled Americans without care.

3625
02:00:53,410 --> 02:00:54,110
You're going to die.

3626
02:00:54,310 --> 02:00:56,930
I continue to maintain my position.

3627
02:00:57,070 --> 02:00:58,510
We should not be cutting Medicaid benefits.

3628
02:00:58,710 --> 02:01:01,210
Republican Senator Josh Hawley yesterday with an op

3629
02:01:01,210 --> 02:01:02,910
-ed in the New York Times, writing, if

3630
02:01:02,910 --> 02:01:05,830
Congress cuts funding for Medicaid benefits, Missouri workers

3631
02:01:05,830 --> 02:01:07,770
and their children will lose their health care

3632
02:01:07,770 --> 02:01:09,410
and hospitals will close.

3633
02:01:09,410 --> 02:01:10,570
It's that simple.

3634
02:01:10,850 --> 02:01:13,110
And that pattern will replicate in states across

3635
02:01:13,110 --> 02:01:13,610
the country.

3636
02:01:13,770 --> 02:01:16,410
I love how hospitals will close has nothing

3637
02:01:16,410 --> 02:01:17,490
to do with hospitals.

3638
02:01:17,950 --> 02:01:20,110
But Hawley is jumping on the bandwagon.

3639
02:01:20,230 --> 02:01:21,790
And he's wrong in this case, because the

3640
02:01:21,790 --> 02:01:22,670
numbers add up.

3641
02:01:22,730 --> 02:01:23,930
If you look at what's happening here.

3642
02:01:24,090 --> 02:01:26,550
We are struggling with rural health care coverage.

3643
02:01:27,270 --> 02:01:28,770
And, you know, Republicans, we need to be

3644
02:01:28,770 --> 02:01:30,010
making that better, not worse.

3645
02:01:32,750 --> 02:01:34,670
Protesters today blocking the doors to one of

3646
02:01:34,670 --> 02:01:36,590
the hearings on Capitol Hill, where members of

3647
02:01:36,590 --> 02:01:38,270
Congress dissect the proposed cuts.

3648
02:01:38,270 --> 02:01:40,650
A critical piece of the big, beautiful bill.

3649
02:01:40,710 --> 02:01:42,870
President Trump has been asking for to fund

3650
02:01:42,870 --> 02:01:43,350
his agenda.

3651
02:01:43,690 --> 02:01:46,570
With the one big, beautiful bill, we can

3652
02:01:46,570 --> 02:01:50,210
ignite the second Trump economic boom and improve

3653
02:01:50,210 --> 02:01:52,430
the lives of millions of our neighbors back

3654
02:01:52,430 --> 02:01:52,710
home.

3655
02:01:52,830 --> 02:01:54,730
If the cuts are approved, it would go

3656
02:01:54,730 --> 02:01:56,410
against what Trump said back in February.

3657
02:01:56,790 --> 02:01:59,630
Can you guarantee that Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security

3658
02:01:59,630 --> 02:02:00,810
will not be touched?

3659
02:02:00,930 --> 02:02:02,610
Yeah, I mean, I have said it so

3660
02:02:02,610 --> 02:02:03,210
many times.

3661
02:02:03,290 --> 02:02:04,990
You shouldn't be asking me that question.

3662
02:02:05,710 --> 02:02:08,130
OK, this will not be read my lips.

3663
02:02:08,810 --> 02:02:10,630
It won't be read my lips anymore.

3664
02:02:11,590 --> 02:02:12,790
We're not going to touch it.

3665
02:02:13,030 --> 02:02:15,090
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says the cuts

3666
02:02:15,090 --> 02:02:17,610
would slash Medicaid more than ever before.

3667
02:02:18,010 --> 02:02:18,710
It's cruel.

3668
02:02:19,230 --> 02:02:20,150
It's heartbreaking.

3669
02:02:21,030 --> 02:02:24,050
Senate Democrats will continue to expose this devastating

3670
02:02:24,050 --> 02:02:26,150
plan and fight for American families.

3671
02:02:26,390 --> 02:02:27,070
Blah, blah, blah.

3672
02:02:27,590 --> 02:02:29,950
So the whole point of the executive order,

3673
02:02:30,070 --> 02:02:31,950
which, of course, is an executive order.

3674
02:02:31,950 --> 02:02:34,970
So if it doesn't turn into legislation at

3675
02:02:34,970 --> 02:02:36,130
some point, it goes away.

3676
02:02:36,230 --> 02:02:38,510
But the whole point is you can slash

3677
02:02:38,510 --> 02:02:42,010
money from the Medicaid budget because Medicaid is

3678
02:02:42,010 --> 02:02:45,090
overpaying for all of these drugs.

3679
02:02:45,130 --> 02:02:47,950
Because, of course, Medicaid pays pretty much full

3680
02:02:47,950 --> 02:02:48,590
price.

3681
02:02:49,450 --> 02:02:52,310
What the insurance companies and the pharmacy benefit

3682
02:02:52,310 --> 02:02:54,050
managers have jacked this all up to.

3683
02:02:54,290 --> 02:02:57,950
But President Trump's executive order is to make

3684
02:02:57,950 --> 02:03:00,370
it a most favored nation pricing.

3685
02:03:00,370 --> 02:03:02,230
And there's a whole bunch of existing laws

3686
02:03:02,230 --> 02:03:04,730
on the books, like the Sherman Act and

3687
02:03:04,730 --> 02:03:06,150
all kinds of stuff where this can be

3688
02:03:06,150 --> 02:03:06,430
done.

3689
02:03:06,630 --> 02:03:08,730
So that Medicaid will have to pay a

3690
02:03:08,730 --> 02:03:09,170
lot less.

3691
02:03:09,310 --> 02:03:11,110
No one will actually lose anything.

3692
02:03:11,210 --> 02:03:12,290
That's the theory, at least.

3693
02:03:12,570 --> 02:03:15,090
No one will lose any medicines.

3694
02:03:16,190 --> 02:03:18,190
They will just be cheaper to the United

3695
02:03:18,190 --> 02:03:20,290
States government and the United States people.

3696
02:03:20,410 --> 02:03:23,650
But the real gotcha in here is Section

3697
02:03:23,650 --> 02:03:27,350
4, enabling direct-to-consumer sales to American

3698
02:03:27,350 --> 02:03:30,030
patients at the most favored nation price.

3699
02:03:30,770 --> 02:03:34,030
To the extent consistent with the law, the

3700
02:03:34,030 --> 02:03:36,550
Secretary of Health and Human Services, Bobby Beopp,

3701
02:03:36,950 --> 02:03:40,450
shall facilitate direct-to-consumer purchasing programs for

3702
02:03:40,450 --> 02:03:44,070
pharmaceutical manufacturers that sell their products to American

3703
02:03:44,070 --> 02:03:46,810
patients at the most favored nation price.

3704
02:03:47,190 --> 02:03:49,270
So you will finally be able to buy

3705
02:03:49,270 --> 02:03:52,510
your medication at a normal price, which most

3706
02:03:52,510 --> 02:03:55,010
of you are already doing, from India, from

3707
02:03:55,010 --> 02:03:55,870
any other place.

3708
02:03:56,930 --> 02:03:58,530
That's the big gotcha here.

3709
02:03:59,090 --> 02:04:03,790
You know, if you look for ivermectin, you

3710
02:04:03,790 --> 02:04:07,230
can get 2,000 ivermectin pills for like

3711
02:04:07,230 --> 02:04:08,530
50 bucks from India.

3712
02:04:08,850 --> 02:04:11,410
If you can buy it in America, it's

3713
02:04:11,410 --> 02:04:12,790
going to be hundreds of dollars.

3714
02:04:13,430 --> 02:04:15,970
So he's really put in a bypass here

3715
02:04:15,970 --> 02:04:20,430
that also goes for hospitals and pharmacies, etc.,

3716
02:04:20,430 --> 02:04:22,830
where you can get your stuff at most

3717
02:04:22,830 --> 02:04:25,050
favored nation pricing and go around the system.

3718
02:04:25,170 --> 02:04:26,990
I think it's long overdue.

3719
02:04:30,320 --> 02:04:32,440
And everything else is just bullcrap.

3720
02:04:36,460 --> 02:04:36,720
Okay.

3721
02:04:37,700 --> 02:04:39,640
I don't have anything to add to that.

3722
02:04:39,740 --> 02:04:40,740
No, there's nothing to add.

3723
02:04:41,760 --> 02:04:43,740
Just staying with pharma for one minute.

3724
02:04:44,420 --> 02:04:46,960
I told you it was coming, that the

3725
02:04:46,960 --> 02:04:50,840
Deutsche Lady, she had her commission, the Pfizer

3726
02:04:50,840 --> 02:04:51,420
commission.

3727
02:04:51,700 --> 02:04:55,320
They investigated what happened with Pfizer and Ursula

3728
02:04:55,320 --> 02:04:56,320
and the text messages.

3729
02:04:57,100 --> 02:04:58,980
And they figured it all out.

3730
02:05:00,040 --> 02:05:01,440
And nothing will happen.

3731
02:05:01,440 --> 02:05:04,140
This is a legal and political thunderclap.

3732
02:05:04,340 --> 02:05:06,240
The general court of the European Union has

3733
02:05:06,240 --> 02:05:09,360
condemned the European commission's lack of transparency in

3734
02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:12,280
the negotiations on vaccines during the COVID-19

3735
02:05:12,280 --> 02:05:12,760
pandemic.

3736
02:05:13,080 --> 02:05:15,520
The judges annulled the commission's refusal to disclose

3737
02:05:15,520 --> 02:05:18,420
the text messages exchanged between its president and

3738
02:05:18,420 --> 02:05:19,200
the head of Pfizer.

3739
02:05:19,640 --> 02:05:21,760
These text messages between Ursula von der Leyen

3740
02:05:21,760 --> 02:05:24,620
and the pharmaceutical giant took place during negotiations

3741
02:05:24,620 --> 02:05:27,320
on the purchase of almost 2 billion doses.

3742
02:05:27,780 --> 02:05:29,940
The commission maintains that it does not hold

3743
02:05:29,940 --> 02:05:32,500
these text messages and that their content was

3744
02:05:32,500 --> 02:05:33,300
insubstantial.

3745
02:05:33,520 --> 02:05:35,020
Not a convincing line of defense.

3746
02:05:35,320 --> 02:05:38,060
For the moment, it's still unclear why they

3747
02:05:38,060 --> 02:05:41,880
thought that these messages did not include important

3748
02:05:41,880 --> 02:05:42,520
information.

3749
02:05:42,960 --> 02:05:44,720
So this needs to be clarified.

3750
02:05:45,140 --> 02:05:47,120
And also, in a way, we can see

3751
02:05:47,120 --> 02:05:49,200
that in general, there is still a lot

3752
02:05:49,200 --> 02:05:50,360
of secrecy around this.

3753
02:05:50,460 --> 02:05:51,320
We still don't know.

3754
02:05:51,420 --> 02:05:53,880
It's still unclear if these messages were deleted,

3755
02:05:54,420 --> 02:05:56,520
if, as the courts say, were deleted on

3756
02:05:56,520 --> 02:05:57,680
purpose, automatically.

3757
02:05:57,800 --> 02:05:58,580
What happened there?

3758
02:05:58,580 --> 02:06:01,180
In our opinion, since the beginning, text messages

3759
02:06:01,180 --> 02:06:02,700
should be included.

3760
02:06:03,120 --> 02:06:05,340
The court criticized the commission for failing to

3761
02:06:05,340 --> 02:06:08,300
provide credible evidence to explain why it was

3762
02:06:08,300 --> 02:06:10,760
unable to provide these text messages at the

3763
02:06:10,760 --> 02:06:12,400
request of a journalist from the New York

3764
02:06:12,400 --> 02:06:12,820
Times.

3765
02:06:13,240 --> 02:06:15,880
In addition, the judges considered that the institution

3766
02:06:15,880 --> 02:06:18,780
was unable to clearly specify whether or not

3767
02:06:18,780 --> 02:06:20,380
these text messages had been deleted.

3768
02:06:20,780 --> 02:06:22,960
The commission remains unclear on this issue.

3769
02:06:23,200 --> 02:06:25,800
I didn't say that any messages were deleted.

3770
02:06:25,800 --> 02:06:28,460
What I did say were that, as in

3771
02:06:28,460 --> 02:06:31,620
any access to documents request, what we first

3772
02:06:31,620 --> 02:06:34,500
do is to check, are there any registered

3773
02:06:34,500 --> 02:06:36,420
documents that fall within the scope of the

3774
02:06:36,420 --> 02:06:36,720
request?

3775
02:06:37,020 --> 02:06:38,600
We did that, didn't find any.

3776
02:06:38,940 --> 02:06:41,040
The commission considers that the judgment does not

3777
02:06:41,040 --> 02:06:43,580
call into question the procedures for registering documents,

3778
02:06:43,740 --> 02:06:45,220
but rather a lack of explanation.

3779
02:06:45,660 --> 02:06:48,140
It interprets the court decision as an indication

3780
02:06:48,140 --> 02:06:50,380
that it will have to justify itself better

3781
02:06:50,380 --> 02:06:50,880
in the future.

3782
02:06:51,280 --> 02:06:53,940
Oh, you know, they deleted themselves.

3783
02:06:55,180 --> 02:06:57,120
It's, you know, it's just what happens.

3784
02:06:59,170 --> 02:07:04,070
This, and Ursula just wafts away, no problem.

3785
02:07:05,730 --> 02:07:07,870
She's gonna walk away with no problem anyway.

3786
02:07:08,070 --> 02:07:10,690
Yeah, there is, of course, somewhere there's a

3787
02:07:10,690 --> 02:07:11,990
record of these text messages.

3788
02:07:12,690 --> 02:07:12,990
Yeah.

3789
02:07:13,510 --> 02:07:14,630
The NSA has it.

3790
02:07:16,150 --> 02:07:17,990
I'm sure the NSA does have it.

3791
02:07:17,990 --> 02:07:19,750
I'm sure somebody has it.

3792
02:07:20,290 --> 02:07:22,310
So, well, I'm glad the German lady did

3793
02:07:22,310 --> 02:07:23,910
all that work for nothing.

3794
02:07:24,390 --> 02:07:26,650
Nothing, nothing, nothing comes out of these things.

3795
02:07:26,730 --> 02:07:27,210
They're corrupt.

3796
02:07:28,430 --> 02:07:28,790
Corrupt.

3797
02:07:31,880 --> 02:07:35,060
R.F.K. Jr. Well, I guess I

3798
02:07:35,060 --> 02:07:36,580
got one clip from the hearing.

3799
02:07:36,780 --> 02:07:38,940
They were grilling him left and right.

3800
02:07:39,280 --> 02:07:40,840
R.F.K. Jr. is in front of

3801
02:07:40,840 --> 02:07:42,360
Congress, in front of, first he's in front

3802
02:07:42,360 --> 02:07:44,320
of Congress, then he was in front of

3803
02:07:44,320 --> 02:07:44,720
the Senate.

3804
02:07:45,040 --> 02:07:46,160
What was it all about?

3805
02:07:46,280 --> 02:07:47,460
Was it just to grill him?

3806
02:07:47,640 --> 02:07:49,660
Because he's a bad guy and he's, they're

3807
02:07:49,660 --> 02:07:50,780
trying to get rid of him.

3808
02:07:51,180 --> 02:07:53,800
And so they're trying to embarrass him.

3809
02:07:53,840 --> 02:07:54,660
They can't do it.

3810
02:07:55,280 --> 02:07:56,660
Trying to contradict him.

3811
02:07:56,780 --> 02:08:00,540
That clip that was, what was it, we

3812
02:08:00,540 --> 02:08:03,180
talked about a couple of shows ago of

3813
02:08:03,180 --> 02:08:05,740
the guy, head of one of the committees

3814
02:08:05,740 --> 02:08:07,420
that's supposed to be running Kennedy.

3815
02:08:07,660 --> 02:08:08,660
R.F.K. Jr. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

3816
02:08:08,920 --> 02:08:10,100
I'm in charge of him.

3817
02:08:10,340 --> 02:08:11,540
I own him.

3818
02:08:11,740 --> 02:08:13,400
He has to talk to me every month.

3819
02:08:13,520 --> 02:08:13,840
That guy?

3820
02:08:13,960 --> 02:08:15,060
R.F.K. Jr. Yeah, that guy.

3821
02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:18,000
So he's got a couple of compatriots.

3822
02:08:18,080 --> 02:08:18,760
They're all Democrats.

3823
02:08:19,100 --> 02:08:21,720
These Democrats, I mean, they loved Kennedy until

3824
02:08:21,720 --> 02:08:22,640
he became a Republican.

3825
02:08:22,800 --> 02:08:23,980
This is really simple.

3826
02:08:24,580 --> 02:08:25,960
But let's listen to him go.

3827
02:08:26,120 --> 02:08:27,960
This is it's went on with all of

3828
02:08:27,960 --> 02:08:28,140
them.

3829
02:08:28,320 --> 02:08:30,680
But especially the Democrats, the Republicans were fine.

3830
02:08:30,760 --> 02:08:34,020
But the Democrats kept trying to, you know,

3831
02:08:34,020 --> 02:08:35,380
they're pushing vaccines.

3832
02:08:35,600 --> 02:08:36,700
Oh, the measles thing.

3833
02:08:36,840 --> 02:08:37,980
You had two dead kids.

3834
02:08:38,200 --> 02:08:39,040
My God.

3835
02:08:39,620 --> 02:08:42,000
And we had 20 shootings in Oakland.

3836
02:08:42,100 --> 02:08:42,620
Doesn't matter.

3837
02:08:42,700 --> 02:08:43,540
But these two dead kids.

3838
02:08:44,020 --> 02:08:45,180
No, they're black.

3839
02:08:45,280 --> 02:08:45,840
It doesn't matter.

3840
02:08:46,100 --> 02:08:46,880
This doesn't matter.

3841
02:08:46,960 --> 02:08:49,480
So so here's one of the back and

3842
02:08:49,480 --> 02:08:50,000
forths.

3843
02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:51,280
Health Secretary Robert F.

3844
02:08:51,400 --> 02:08:54,140
Kennedy Jr. says that reducing dependency on China

3845
02:08:54,140 --> 02:08:56,680
for critical medicines is a priority for him

3846
02:08:56,680 --> 02:08:57,900
and the Trump administration.

3847
02:08:58,560 --> 02:09:01,100
NTT correspondent Jason Blair has more from Kennedy's

3848
02:09:01,100 --> 02:09:02,560
testimony on Capitol Hill.

3849
02:09:03,380 --> 02:09:07,440
They're directly and narrowly focused on creating dominance

3850
02:09:07,440 --> 02:09:08,380
across the globe.

3851
02:09:08,600 --> 02:09:11,620
During a House committee meeting, HHS Secretary Robert

3852
02:09:11,620 --> 02:09:11,860
F.

3853
02:09:11,940 --> 02:09:15,020
Kennedy Jr. agreed when asked if over relying

3854
02:09:15,020 --> 02:09:18,340
on China for critical pharmaceuticals poses a threat.

3855
02:09:18,340 --> 02:09:21,420
We saw the problem with supply chain control

3856
02:09:21,420 --> 02:09:22,860
by the Chinese during COVID.

3857
02:09:23,200 --> 02:09:25,160
And this is a priority for me and

3858
02:09:25,160 --> 02:09:26,220
for this administration.

3859
02:09:26,740 --> 02:09:28,980
RFK Jr. says that they've been working hard

3860
02:09:28,980 --> 02:09:31,660
to bring more medicine production into the US

3861
02:09:31,660 --> 02:09:34,560
and that he's been meeting with pharmaceutical CEOs.

3862
02:09:35,060 --> 02:09:39,200
I've met repeatedly with Eli Lilly, which is

3863
02:09:39,200 --> 02:09:41,920
now building nine facilities, nine factories in this

3864
02:09:41,920 --> 02:09:42,320
country.

3865
02:09:42,600 --> 02:09:45,180
Kennedy says that China also has a program

3866
02:09:45,180 --> 02:09:48,260
called the Thousand Talents Program that is designed

3867
02:09:48,260 --> 02:09:50,940
to steal US IP and technology.

3868
02:09:51,180 --> 02:09:53,700
And we have facilitated that at NIH.

3869
02:09:54,820 --> 02:09:57,880
I funded Chinese scientists with contracts that don't

3870
02:09:58,440 --> 02:10:01,000
require them even to report their science back

3871
02:10:01,000 --> 02:10:01,580
to our country.

3872
02:10:01,660 --> 02:10:03,760
But they give it directly to Chinese military

3873
02:10:03,760 --> 02:10:07,820
scientists on bioweapons research that we gave them

3874
02:10:07,820 --> 02:10:08,800
the technology for.

3875
02:10:08,960 --> 02:10:11,360
After testifying in front of the House Appropriations

3876
02:10:11,360 --> 02:10:14,080
Committee, Kennedy was a witness in a second

3877
02:10:14,080 --> 02:10:15,460
hearing in front of the Senate.

3878
02:10:18,340 --> 02:10:22,060
He was interrupted by protesters during his opening

3879
02:10:22,060 --> 02:10:22,500
statement.

3880
02:10:22,720 --> 02:10:23,720
The witness will suspend.

3881
02:10:23,980 --> 02:10:25,100
The committee will come to order.

3882
02:10:25,820 --> 02:10:28,500
Tina told me that the guy from Ben

3883
02:10:28,500 --> 02:10:29,860
and Jerry's was protesting.

3884
02:10:31,180 --> 02:10:33,260
I don't get the protests at all.

3885
02:10:33,360 --> 02:10:34,960
What are they protesting against?

3886
02:10:35,580 --> 02:10:36,820
I don't get it.

3887
02:10:37,020 --> 02:10:38,380
It seems like a plant to me.

3888
02:10:38,520 --> 02:10:40,800
But then the best clips are these, which

3889
02:10:40,800 --> 02:10:43,660
is Chris Murphy comes on and he starts

3890
02:10:43,660 --> 02:10:46,000
asking Kennedy a bunch of pointed questions.

3891
02:10:46,120 --> 02:10:48,380
And Chris Murphy is a showboater from Connecticut.

3892
02:10:48,680 --> 02:10:50,220
He shows up a lot.

3893
02:10:50,320 --> 02:10:51,720
He's trying to become president.

3894
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:52,700
He sucks.

3895
02:10:52,840 --> 02:10:53,400
He's stupid.

3896
02:10:54,600 --> 02:10:56,420
And here he goes into it.

3897
02:10:56,500 --> 02:10:57,840
This is a Chris Murphy series.

3898
02:10:58,000 --> 02:10:59,200
This is him talking to Kennedy.

3899
02:10:59,560 --> 02:11:00,520
That is not what happened.

3900
02:11:00,640 --> 02:11:01,400
You've done the opposite.

3901
02:11:01,620 --> 02:11:04,760
You canceled $12 billion in grants to the

3902
02:11:04,760 --> 02:11:06,980
states, including my state, that are used to

3903
02:11:06,980 --> 02:11:08,460
administer and track vaccines.

3904
02:11:08,660 --> 02:11:10,560
You promised Chairman Cassidy.

3905
02:11:10,560 --> 02:11:11,580
When did I do that?

3906
02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:13,740
Madam Chair, would you allow me to finish

3907
02:11:13,740 --> 02:11:14,680
my question?

3908
02:11:15,020 --> 02:11:15,840
Keep going with your questions.

3909
02:11:15,840 --> 02:11:16,800
When did I do that?

3910
02:11:16,960 --> 02:11:19,740
Let me, let me, let me finish my

3911
02:11:19,740 --> 02:11:19,920
question.

3912
02:11:20,700 --> 02:11:21,960
Just tell me when I did it so

3913
02:11:21,960 --> 02:11:24,040
I can understand what the question is.

3914
02:11:24,640 --> 02:11:28,080
You have canceled $12 billion in public health

3915
02:11:28,080 --> 02:11:30,740
grants to states, whether you know this or

3916
02:11:30,740 --> 02:11:31,160
not.

3917
02:11:31,220 --> 02:11:33,580
That funding is used by the states in

3918
02:11:33,580 --> 02:11:38,220
part to be able to administer and dispense

3919
02:11:38,220 --> 02:11:39,860
information about vaccines.

3920
02:11:40,780 --> 02:11:41,360
Hmm.

3921
02:11:42,460 --> 02:11:48,180
Why does it take $12 billion to administer

3922
02:11:48,180 --> 02:11:50,100
information about vaccines?

3923
02:11:50,580 --> 02:11:53,020
Hey, I'll take $1 billion and talk about

3924
02:11:53,020 --> 02:11:54,800
it three hours long, twice a week.

3925
02:11:56,360 --> 02:11:57,460
It's unbelievable.

3926
02:11:57,820 --> 02:11:59,180
That's just scam, obviously.

3927
02:11:59,260 --> 02:12:00,120
For one state.

3928
02:12:00,440 --> 02:12:02,280
But could he answer the question about it?

3929
02:12:02,340 --> 02:12:04,300
Did he even know why it had been

3930
02:12:04,300 --> 02:12:04,520
canceled?

3931
02:12:04,520 --> 02:12:07,120
Well, it continues pretty much in order.

3932
02:12:07,260 --> 02:12:08,000
So here he comes.

3933
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:10,920
Let me give you, Mr. Secretary, let me

3934
02:12:10,920 --> 02:12:12,200
give you, let me, let me give you

3935
02:12:12,200 --> 02:12:17,440
the full panoply of the things you said

3936
02:12:17,440 --> 02:12:19,140
before this committee that didn't turn out to

3937
02:12:19,140 --> 02:12:19,540
be true.

3938
02:12:19,880 --> 02:12:23,040
You also promised Chairman Cassidy that the FDA

3939
02:12:23,040 --> 02:12:26,620
would not change vaccine standards from, quote, historical

3940
02:12:26,620 --> 02:12:27,200
norms.

3941
02:12:27,540 --> 02:12:29,420
But what happened as soon as you were

3942
02:12:29,420 --> 02:12:29,880
sworn in?

3943
02:12:29,940 --> 02:12:33,200
You announced new standards for vaccine approvals that

3944
02:12:33,200 --> 02:12:35,480
you proudly referred to in your own press

3945
02:12:35,480 --> 02:12:39,220
release as a radical departure from current practice.

3946
02:12:39,340 --> 02:12:41,840
And experts say that that departure will delay

3947
02:12:41,840 --> 02:12:42,980
approvals.

3948
02:12:43,440 --> 02:12:45,500
You also said specific to the measles vaccine

3949
02:12:45,500 --> 02:12:47,420
that you support the measles vaccine.

3950
02:12:47,720 --> 02:12:51,200
But you have consistently been undermining the measles

3951
02:12:51,200 --> 02:12:51,640
vaccine.

3952
02:12:51,740 --> 02:12:53,760
You told the public that the vaccine wanes

3953
02:12:53,760 --> 02:12:54,580
very quickly.

3954
02:12:54,820 --> 02:12:56,720
You went on the Dr. Phil show and

3955
02:12:56,720 --> 02:12:58,540
said that the measles vaccine was never fully

3956
02:12:58,540 --> 02:12:59,520
tested for safety.

3957
02:12:59,900 --> 02:13:02,740
You said there's fetal debris in the measles

3958
02:13:02,740 --> 02:13:03,180
vaccine.

3959
02:13:03,180 --> 02:13:05,220
And this morning- All true, all true.

3960
02:13:05,500 --> 02:13:06,580
This morning in front of- Do you

3961
02:13:06,580 --> 02:13:07,840
want me to lie to the public?

3962
02:13:08,040 --> 02:13:09,340
That's not, none of that is true.

3963
02:13:09,420 --> 02:13:09,700
None of that is true.

3964
02:13:09,700 --> 02:13:10,640
Of course it's true.

3965
02:13:10,780 --> 02:13:11,000
That is true.

3966
02:13:11,200 --> 02:13:12,460
Of course it's true.

3967
02:13:12,720 --> 02:13:13,540
I'm sorry, Mr. Secretary, that is true.

3968
02:13:13,540 --> 02:13:15,020
You've got your senator begging your property.

3969
02:13:15,020 --> 02:13:15,940
And I will submit- You do not

3970
02:13:15,940 --> 02:13:17,080
know what you're talking about.

3971
02:13:17,380 --> 02:13:17,900
For the record.

3972
02:13:18,380 --> 02:13:20,200
Let's have a little bit of order so

3973
02:13:20,200 --> 02:13:22,100
that you can get your question and he

3974
02:13:22,100 --> 02:13:22,420
can get his.

3975
02:13:22,420 --> 02:13:24,540
I didn't ask, I didn't ask for a

3976
02:13:24,540 --> 02:13:25,100
response yet.

3977
02:13:25,260 --> 02:13:25,580
I understand that.

3978
02:13:25,580 --> 02:13:26,720
I'd like to lay out the predicate of

3979
02:13:26,720 --> 02:13:28,500
my question before I'm interrupted by the witness.

3980
02:13:28,660 --> 02:13:30,080
He should have some respect for this committee.

3981
02:13:31,520 --> 02:13:35,540
By the way, the Ben and Jerry's guy,

3982
02:13:35,780 --> 02:13:39,260
Ben, Ben Cohen, he was kicked out of

3983
02:13:39,260 --> 02:13:41,980
the hearing with Robert Kennedy Jr. for protesting

3984
02:13:41,980 --> 02:13:45,740
Congress's funding of the Israeli military.

3985
02:13:46,680 --> 02:13:49,360
He went to the wrong hearing somehow.

3986
02:13:49,780 --> 02:13:50,560
Oh, that's funny.

3987
02:13:51,460 --> 02:13:53,760
It's just like, uh, no.

3988
02:13:54,100 --> 02:13:55,420
It's like a Woody Allen movie.

3989
02:13:57,180 --> 02:13:57,740
Exactly.

3990
02:13:58,880 --> 02:14:00,740
So we wrap it with this one.

3991
02:14:00,920 --> 02:14:02,240
Just this morning in front of the House

3992
02:14:02,240 --> 02:14:04,820
of Representatives, you also said that you, in

3993
02:14:04,820 --> 02:14:07,380
fact, would not recommend that kids get vaccinated

3994
02:14:07,380 --> 02:14:07,940
for measles.

3995
02:14:08,040 --> 02:14:10,040
You said you would just lay out the

3996
02:14:10,040 --> 02:14:11,860
pros and cons.

3997
02:14:12,480 --> 02:14:15,660
Okay, so this is the summation of everything

3998
02:14:15,660 --> 02:14:19,060
that you have said to compromise people's faith

3999
02:14:19,060 --> 02:14:22,540
in the measles vaccine in particular is contrary

4000
02:14:22,540 --> 02:14:24,140
to what you said before this committee.

4001
02:14:24,140 --> 02:14:26,000
You said you support the measles vaccine.

4002
02:14:26,000 --> 02:14:28,280
But then you have laid out a set

4003
02:14:28,280 --> 02:14:29,680
of facts that are contested.

4004
02:14:29,700 --> 02:14:31,300
And I will submit information for the record

4005
02:14:31,300 --> 02:14:34,300
from experts who contest what you've said about

4006
02:14:34,300 --> 02:14:34,860
the vaccine.

4007
02:14:35,260 --> 02:14:37,320
And the result is to undermine faith in

4008
02:14:37,320 --> 02:14:37,680
the vaccine.

4009
02:14:37,740 --> 02:14:39,480
It's kind of like saying, listen, I think

4010
02:14:39,480 --> 02:14:40,580
you should swim in that lake.

4011
02:14:41,260 --> 02:14:43,200
But, you know, the lake is probably toxic

4012
02:14:43,200 --> 02:14:44,440
and there's probably a ton of snakes and

4013
02:14:44,440 --> 02:14:45,680
alligators in that lake.

4014
02:14:45,700 --> 02:14:46,720
But I think you should swim in it.

4015
02:14:47,020 --> 02:14:48,240
Nobody's going to swim in that lake if

4016
02:14:48,240 --> 02:14:48,940
that's what you say.

4017
02:14:49,540 --> 02:14:51,620
And so I want you to acknowledge that

4018
02:14:51,620 --> 02:14:53,840
when you say you support the measles vaccine

4019
02:14:53,840 --> 02:14:56,760
and then go out and repeatedly undermine the

4020
02:14:56,760 --> 02:14:59,640
vaccine with information that is contested by public

4021
02:14:59,640 --> 02:15:03,260
health experts, that is not supporting the vaccine.

4022
02:15:03,860 --> 02:15:05,100
And so I guess I have two simple

4023
02:15:05,100 --> 02:15:06,060
questions for you.

4024
02:15:06,800 --> 02:15:09,460
One is, can you clarify what you said

4025
02:15:09,460 --> 02:15:10,320
in the House this morning?

4026
02:15:10,500 --> 02:15:13,660
Are you or are you not recommending that

4027
02:15:13,660 --> 02:15:15,660
families get their children vaccinated?

4028
02:15:15,760 --> 02:15:18,740
Or are you just giving people the pros

4029
02:15:18,740 --> 02:15:19,360
and cons?

4030
02:15:19,720 --> 02:15:22,020
And do you understand that when you say

4031
02:15:22,020 --> 02:15:24,820
these things about the measles vaccine, what ends

4032
02:15:24,820 --> 02:15:26,840
up happening is less people get the vaccine?

4033
02:15:26,920 --> 02:15:28,040
That may be what you want.

4034
02:15:28,560 --> 02:15:30,920
But do you understand that the result of

4035
02:15:30,920 --> 02:15:33,600
constantly questioning the efficacy or safety of the

4036
02:15:33,600 --> 02:15:36,520
vaccine results in less people getting the vaccine?

4037
02:15:36,520 --> 02:15:38,560
So I don't necessarily want to spend the

4038
02:15:38,560 --> 02:15:40,920
remaining 20 seconds in an argument over the

4039
02:15:40,920 --> 02:15:43,600
science, but you at least understand that that's

4040
02:15:43,600 --> 02:15:45,040
the consequence of what you're saying.

4041
02:15:45,160 --> 02:15:47,880
And are you actually still recommending people get

4042
02:15:47,880 --> 02:15:49,040
the vaccine or are you not?

4043
02:15:49,580 --> 02:15:51,540
Senator, if I advise you to swim in

4044
02:15:51,540 --> 02:15:53,020
a lake, then I knew there to be

4045
02:15:53,020 --> 02:15:53,580
alligators.

4046
02:15:53,840 --> 02:15:55,100
And wouldn't you want me to tell you

4047
02:15:55,100 --> 02:15:56,280
there were alligators in it?

4048
02:15:56,540 --> 02:15:59,380
So are you recommending the measles vaccine or

4049
02:15:59,380 --> 02:15:59,640
not?

4050
02:15:59,980 --> 02:16:02,440
What I've said and what I said-

4051
02:16:02,440 --> 02:16:04,560
Doesn't sound like you are, if that's-

4052
02:16:04,560 --> 02:16:05,800
Are you going to let me answer?

4053
02:16:06,080 --> 02:16:07,020
Are you going to keep it or are

4054
02:16:07,020 --> 02:16:07,580
you not?

4055
02:16:08,320 --> 02:16:09,420
Are you going to let me answer?

4056
02:16:10,320 --> 02:16:13,040
What I pledged before this committee during my

4057
02:16:13,040 --> 02:16:14,860
confirmation is that I would tell the truth,

4058
02:16:14,980 --> 02:16:16,600
that I would have radical transparency.

4059
02:16:17,240 --> 02:16:19,240
I'm going to tell the truth about everything

4060
02:16:19,240 --> 02:16:21,160
we know and we don't know about vaccines.

4061
02:16:21,160 --> 02:16:22,820
Are you recommending the measles vaccine or not?

4062
02:16:22,820 --> 02:16:24,260
I am not going to just tell people

4063
02:16:24,260 --> 02:16:26,660
everything is safe and effective if I know

4064
02:16:26,660 --> 02:16:27,460
that there's issues.

4065
02:16:27,900 --> 02:16:29,980
I need to respect people's intelligence.

4066
02:16:30,100 --> 02:16:30,940
Thank you for answering the question.

4067
02:16:31,200 --> 02:16:33,139
Wow, I don't think I saw that clip

4068
02:16:33,139 --> 02:16:34,400
on mainstream news.

4069
02:16:35,959 --> 02:16:37,500
I wonder why.

4070
02:16:38,360 --> 02:16:41,420
I have a lot of really good clips

4071
02:16:41,420 --> 02:16:44,260
about big pharma because outside of the military

4072
02:16:44,260 --> 02:16:48,100
industrial complex, which runs a lot, that is

4073
02:16:48,100 --> 02:16:49,100
probably number two.

4074
02:16:49,219 --> 02:16:50,280
They certainly run the media.

4075
02:16:50,860 --> 02:16:54,040
But before we do that, I'd like to

4076
02:16:54,040 --> 02:16:55,480
thank you for your courage to say in

4077
02:16:55,480 --> 02:16:56,740
the morning to you, the man who put

4078
02:16:56,740 --> 02:16:58,820
the C's in the caravan of camels, say

4079
02:16:58,820 --> 02:17:00,340
hello to my friend on the other end,

4080
02:17:00,400 --> 02:17:02,980
the one, the only, Mr. John C.

4081
02:17:03,260 --> 02:17:03,580
DeWaar.

4082
02:17:05,660 --> 02:17:07,059
Yeah, well, in the morning to you, Mr.

4083
02:17:07,100 --> 02:17:07,480
Adam Crane.

4084
02:17:07,600 --> 02:17:08,480
Morning to you, Mr. Steve Woodson.

4085
02:17:08,559 --> 02:17:09,100
Raffy in the air.

4086
02:17:09,160 --> 02:17:09,580
Sub's DeWaar.

4087
02:17:09,660 --> 02:17:10,459
Name's nice out there.

4088
02:17:10,600 --> 02:17:11,980
And in the morning to the trolls in

4089
02:17:11,980 --> 02:17:12,520
the troll room.

4090
02:17:12,620 --> 02:17:13,440
Hello there, trolls.

4091
02:17:13,559 --> 02:17:14,020
How you doing?

4092
02:17:14,020 --> 02:17:14,780
How you rocking?

4093
02:17:14,959 --> 02:17:15,440
How you rolling?

4094
02:17:15,700 --> 02:17:15,900
Hello.

4095
02:17:16,940 --> 02:17:18,680
Oh, we don't have a peak troll count

4096
02:17:18,680 --> 02:17:19,440
for some reason.

4097
02:17:19,620 --> 02:17:20,440
Why is that now?

4098
02:17:21,200 --> 02:17:22,020
Always something.

4099
02:17:23,020 --> 02:17:24,180
It's always something.

4100
02:17:24,360 --> 02:17:29,219
We're around 1500 right now, but usually it's

4101
02:17:29,219 --> 02:17:31,020
probably around 18, 1900.

4102
02:17:32,080 --> 02:17:32,540
Interesting.

4103
02:17:32,840 --> 02:17:33,480
Didn't show up.

4104
02:17:33,799 --> 02:17:34,760
Anyway, the trolls are there.

4105
02:17:34,820 --> 02:17:35,879
The trolls are very cynical.

4106
02:17:36,059 --> 02:17:36,600
I've noticed.

4107
02:17:36,740 --> 02:17:38,100
I've been paying attention to them today.

4108
02:17:38,440 --> 02:17:40,639
They're like, it's all performative.

4109
02:17:41,100 --> 02:17:42,240
No, they don't care.

4110
02:17:42,340 --> 02:17:43,559
These people are no good.

4111
02:17:44,120 --> 02:17:45,200
We're all going to die.

4112
02:17:47,799 --> 02:17:49,260
They have no joy.

4113
02:17:49,420 --> 02:17:51,020
Where's your joy and chaos, trolls?

4114
02:17:51,299 --> 02:17:52,160
It's all good.

4115
02:17:52,440 --> 02:17:53,160
It's all good.

4116
02:17:53,240 --> 02:17:53,780
It really is.

4117
02:17:53,840 --> 02:17:54,840
Everything's going to be fine.

4118
02:17:55,360 --> 02:17:57,020
This is a show put on for your

4119
02:17:57,020 --> 02:17:57,440
benefit.

4120
02:17:58,040 --> 02:17:59,520
It's just a show.

4121
02:18:01,139 --> 02:18:02,440
Bobby the Op is right.

4122
02:18:02,559 --> 02:18:03,799
I'm not going to tell you to swim

4123
02:18:03,799 --> 02:18:05,520
in the lake if there's alligators in that.

4124
02:18:05,600 --> 02:18:06,540
I'm not going to do that.

4125
02:18:06,680 --> 02:18:07,000
No.

4126
02:18:10,000 --> 02:18:12,379
So the trolls are in the troll room,

4127
02:18:12,500 --> 02:18:14,360
trollroom.io. If you want to go in

4128
02:18:14,360 --> 02:18:15,900
there and be beaten around like you're in

4129
02:18:15,900 --> 02:18:17,820
a bouncy ball, fill, you know, one of

4130
02:18:17,820 --> 02:18:19,580
those ball bins with kids.

4131
02:18:19,700 --> 02:18:20,860
Yeah, that's a good place to go.

4132
02:18:21,400 --> 02:18:22,780
And of course, you can listen to the

4133
02:18:22,780 --> 02:18:24,799
live stream or use a modern podcast app.

4134
02:18:24,980 --> 02:18:26,120
Fountain, by the way, is coming out with

4135
02:18:26,120 --> 02:18:30,120
a new version where you can boost with

4136
02:18:30,120 --> 02:18:31,500
dollars right from the app.

4137
02:18:31,820 --> 02:18:32,600
Did I tell you that already?

4138
02:18:33,360 --> 02:18:34,500
Yeah, you did last show.

4139
02:18:34,559 --> 02:18:34,980
Oh, okay.

4140
02:18:35,139 --> 02:18:35,340
Yeah.

4141
02:18:35,400 --> 02:18:36,420
You went on and on about it.

4142
02:18:36,440 --> 02:18:38,520
Yeah, because that's what I've been...

4143
02:18:38,520 --> 02:18:40,480
Ever since Apple made the change where you

4144
02:18:40,480 --> 02:18:42,920
can have an alternative payment method in your

4145
02:18:42,920 --> 02:18:45,400
app, because that was the whole thing, is

4146
02:18:45,400 --> 02:18:46,240
you can't do it now.

4147
02:18:47,059 --> 02:18:49,719
No, they lost that big epic court case

4148
02:18:49,719 --> 02:18:51,799
and the judge excoriated them.

4149
02:18:52,320 --> 02:18:53,160
So they have to.

4150
02:18:53,240 --> 02:18:55,980
They have to allow buttons and links in

4151
02:18:55,980 --> 02:18:59,299
apps that do not use the Apple in

4152
02:18:59,299 --> 02:19:02,080
-app payment system, i.e. Apple gets 30

4153
02:19:02,080 --> 02:19:02,820
% of it.

4154
02:19:03,240 --> 02:19:04,260
So that's good news.

4155
02:19:04,340 --> 02:19:05,799
It's good news for freedom, John.

4156
02:19:06,559 --> 02:19:07,059
For freedom.

4157
02:19:08,240 --> 02:19:09,139
Freedom, baby.

4158
02:19:09,400 --> 02:19:10,420
Screw your freedom.

4159
02:19:11,219 --> 02:19:12,020
That's right.

4160
02:19:12,020 --> 02:19:13,280
It's a good day for freedom.

4161
02:19:13,639 --> 02:19:15,260
And, of course, you also, with those modern

4162
02:19:15,260 --> 02:19:19,860
podcast apps at podcastapps.com, you'll get the

4163
02:19:19,860 --> 02:19:21,100
bat signal when we go live.

4164
02:19:21,200 --> 02:19:23,100
Many of these shows go live, and you'll

4165
02:19:23,100 --> 02:19:24,540
know it because it's all a knowage in

4166
02:19:24,540 --> 02:19:24,980
the stream.

4167
02:19:25,379 --> 02:19:26,299
Everything is all there.

4168
02:19:26,379 --> 02:19:27,139
You get the chapters.

4169
02:19:27,400 --> 02:19:28,740
You get all kinds of groovy stuff.

4170
02:19:28,860 --> 02:19:31,219
And, of course, when we post the show,

4171
02:19:31,360 --> 02:19:33,760
within 90 seconds, these modern apps know about

4172
02:19:33,760 --> 02:19:33,860
it.

4173
02:19:33,959 --> 02:19:36,780
Don't spend hours of your time wasting around

4174
02:19:36,780 --> 02:19:38,059
waiting for Apple to update.

4175
02:19:38,120 --> 02:19:39,280
It's just not worth it.

4176
02:19:40,500 --> 02:19:42,940
Value for value is how we hope to

4177
02:19:42,940 --> 02:19:45,600
continue with this podcast, which means if you

4178
02:19:45,600 --> 02:19:48,820
get anything out of the program, and you

4179
02:19:48,820 --> 02:19:50,820
feel like, you know, I got a good

4180
02:19:50,820 --> 02:19:51,700
stock tip.

4181
02:19:51,860 --> 02:19:53,740
I learned something that I can impress my

4182
02:19:53,740 --> 02:19:54,400
family with.

4183
02:19:54,580 --> 02:19:55,460
I felt better.

4184
02:19:55,960 --> 02:19:57,500
I just felt better because I don't feel

4185
02:19:57,500 --> 02:19:59,780
all spun up about all the nonsense that's

4186
02:19:59,780 --> 02:20:02,520
being thrown at me 24-7 online and

4187
02:20:02,520 --> 02:20:04,840
on cable and over the air, even.

4188
02:20:05,460 --> 02:20:07,300
Well, then just send something back to us.

4189
02:20:07,340 --> 02:20:08,480
Time, talent, or treasure.

4190
02:20:08,480 --> 02:20:10,180
You can do any version of that that

4191
02:20:10,180 --> 02:20:10,640
you want.

4192
02:20:11,160 --> 02:20:13,720
We have artists who love sending us their

4193
02:20:13,720 --> 02:20:16,300
talent and their time by making artwork that

4194
02:20:16,300 --> 02:20:18,440
we can choose right after the show.

4195
02:20:18,520 --> 02:20:20,280
They do it live while we're on the

4196
02:20:20,280 --> 02:20:21,440
air, which is very impressive.

4197
02:20:22,760 --> 02:20:24,580
They use a variety of tools.

4198
02:20:26,420 --> 02:20:29,080
And it's clear that the tool of choice,

4199
02:20:29,280 --> 02:20:34,100
although expertly applied, was artificial intelligence generative AI

4200
02:20:34,100 --> 02:20:37,680
for the episode 1763, which was on Sunday.

4201
02:20:37,680 --> 02:20:39,620
We titled that AI Factory.

4202
02:20:39,880 --> 02:20:43,560
We were contemplating doing A1 Factory to stay

4203
02:20:43,560 --> 02:20:47,660
online with our fine secretary of education, but

4204
02:20:47,660 --> 02:20:49,820
we decided against that because we thought people

4205
02:20:49,820 --> 02:20:50,880
would probably look at it and think that

4206
02:20:50,880 --> 02:20:52,940
we were the dopes and not the secretary

4207
02:20:52,940 --> 02:20:53,040
of education.

4208
02:20:53,040 --> 02:20:55,740
I know, it's a fine line.

4209
02:20:55,740 --> 02:20:57,340
Very fine line, very fine line.

4210
02:20:57,440 --> 02:21:02,620
However, Francisco Scaramanga, I mean, we went way

4211
02:21:02,620 --> 02:21:03,280
off base.

4212
02:21:03,280 --> 02:21:07,640
We're traditionalists when it comes to holidays and

4213
02:21:07,640 --> 02:21:14,220
observances for veterans or for Christmas or Easter,

4214
02:21:14,560 --> 02:21:16,460
and Mother's Day has always been kind of

4215
02:21:16,460 --> 02:21:19,020
sacred for us, and we veered off the

4216
02:21:19,020 --> 02:21:19,360
path.

4217
02:21:20,120 --> 02:21:20,380
No.

4218
02:21:21,000 --> 02:21:22,080
What do you mean, no?

4219
02:21:22,640 --> 02:21:24,540
We went over this and over this and

4220
02:21:24,540 --> 02:21:25,620
over this, and I came...

4221
02:21:26,740 --> 02:21:27,980
You, yes, you.

4222
02:21:28,080 --> 02:21:29,940
I said, I like this piece, and you

4223
02:21:29,940 --> 02:21:32,500
said it was gruesome, which is a rule.

4224
02:21:32,500 --> 02:21:35,760
I said, does it apply to the gruesome

4225
02:21:35,760 --> 02:21:35,960
rule?

4226
02:21:36,080 --> 02:21:38,440
Can we apply that to this piece of

4227
02:21:38,440 --> 02:21:38,540
art?

4228
02:21:38,540 --> 02:21:40,220
The gruesome rule, I think, was in play,

4229
02:21:40,340 --> 02:21:42,280
and so I looked at it, and I

4230
02:21:42,280 --> 02:21:43,640
think it's a hilarious piece.

4231
02:21:43,700 --> 02:21:44,600
It's very funny.

4232
02:21:44,980 --> 02:21:47,240
By the way, I will say this.

4233
02:21:47,440 --> 02:21:49,320
There is a bunch of these AI art

4234
02:21:49,320 --> 02:21:51,280
pieces that come out dingy.

4235
02:21:52,500 --> 02:21:53,460
Yeah, dingy.

4236
02:21:53,480 --> 02:21:55,980
And somebody's got to fix this.

4237
02:21:56,760 --> 02:21:58,400
The art is dingy.

4238
02:21:58,500 --> 02:22:00,240
We had this, the last couple of pieces

4239
02:22:00,240 --> 02:22:01,160
came out dingy.

4240
02:22:01,720 --> 02:22:02,580
There's no white.

4241
02:22:04,660 --> 02:22:07,860
The dynamic range of the piece is minimal.

4242
02:22:08,340 --> 02:22:09,380
So it's muddy looking.

4243
02:22:09,380 --> 02:22:11,560
Because it's a photocopy of something else.

4244
02:22:11,980 --> 02:22:13,120
Who knows what it is.

4245
02:22:13,240 --> 02:22:15,540
But the piece I really liked was Happy

4246
02:22:15,540 --> 02:22:18,160
Mother's Day by Darren O'Neill with the

4247
02:22:18,160 --> 02:22:19,240
flying mom.

4248
02:22:19,520 --> 02:22:20,780
You're not an NPC.

4249
02:22:21,540 --> 02:22:23,440
I was pushing that at the end, but

4250
02:22:23,440 --> 02:22:25,780
then you, because I had first chosen this,

4251
02:22:26,080 --> 02:22:28,740
you had said, No, you're going to eat

4252
02:22:28,740 --> 02:22:28,960
it.

4253
02:22:28,980 --> 02:22:31,180
And this is going to be your fault.

4254
02:22:31,440 --> 02:22:34,080
And you insisted that we take this horrible

4255
02:22:34,080 --> 02:22:35,560
piece by Scaramanga.

4256
02:22:35,580 --> 02:22:37,000
You are turning history around.

4257
02:22:37,080 --> 02:22:38,280
I'm telling you the story.

4258
02:22:38,360 --> 02:22:40,920
The pregnant mom, the kid in a body

4259
02:22:40,920 --> 02:22:43,620
suit, with a package, as you put it.

4260
02:22:43,720 --> 02:22:46,740
And the poor girl with the eyes got

4261
02:22:46,740 --> 02:22:47,200
poked.

4262
02:22:48,220 --> 02:22:51,580
I mean, it's just a tremendously gross piece.

4263
02:22:51,620 --> 02:22:54,340
From now on, I'm taping our conversations about

4264
02:22:54,340 --> 02:22:56,540
art so I can play back the truth.

4265
02:22:56,920 --> 02:22:58,980
You said, I love this piece.

4266
02:22:59,040 --> 02:23:00,120
This is a great piece.

4267
02:23:00,240 --> 02:23:02,740
And I said, I said, no, this is

4268
02:23:02,740 --> 02:23:03,200
horrible.

4269
02:23:03,560 --> 02:23:04,980
And by the way, the kid has a

4270
02:23:04,980 --> 02:23:05,620
huge package.

4271
02:23:05,740 --> 02:23:06,480
This is weird.

4272
02:23:06,740 --> 02:23:07,680
This is not good.

4273
02:23:07,920 --> 02:23:08,580
That's what I said.

4274
02:23:08,660 --> 02:23:09,340
That's what you said.

4275
02:23:09,440 --> 02:23:11,080
Yeah, but you were pushing for this.

4276
02:23:11,180 --> 02:23:12,560
You weren't pushing for anything else.

4277
02:23:12,620 --> 02:23:13,800
She's like, this is the one, man.

4278
02:23:13,860 --> 02:23:14,440
This is it.

4279
02:23:14,840 --> 02:23:15,560
This is the one.

4280
02:23:16,340 --> 02:23:18,880
And you said Francisco Scaramanga is great.

4281
02:23:19,440 --> 02:23:20,400
I heard you say it.

4282
02:23:20,960 --> 02:23:21,720
I heard you say it.

4283
02:23:21,720 --> 02:23:22,220
He is great.

4284
02:23:22,320 --> 02:23:22,840
He's great.

4285
02:23:23,000 --> 02:23:23,880
But so is Darren.

4286
02:23:24,640 --> 02:23:25,780
Darren is very good.

4287
02:23:25,780 --> 02:23:28,200
I actually use the mom with the flying

4288
02:23:28,200 --> 02:23:30,660
mom as a bat signal piece of art.

4289
02:23:30,700 --> 02:23:31,480
I like that as well.

4290
02:23:31,660 --> 02:23:35,240
However, it was Francisco Scaramanga who scores once

4291
02:23:35,240 --> 02:23:37,380
again with his kegger for mom art.

4292
02:23:37,460 --> 02:23:38,420
That's what the title is.

4293
02:23:39,320 --> 02:23:40,960
And I'm just looking to see if there

4294
02:23:40,960 --> 02:23:41,720
was anything.

4295
02:23:41,880 --> 02:23:44,100
I think I pushed maybe for one other

4296
02:23:44,100 --> 02:23:44,980
Mother's Day.

4297
02:23:45,480 --> 02:23:47,520
No, there really wasn't.

4298
02:23:47,860 --> 02:23:49,220
It was weak.

4299
02:23:50,140 --> 02:23:51,580
Yes, and a lot of the art is

4300
02:23:51,580 --> 02:23:52,040
dingy.

4301
02:23:52,380 --> 02:23:52,720
You're right.

4302
02:23:52,980 --> 02:23:54,320
You're so right about that.

4303
02:23:54,380 --> 02:23:55,600
That's an interesting observation.

4304
02:23:55,780 --> 02:23:57,000
A lot of Pope.

4305
02:23:57,140 --> 02:23:58,180
A lot of Pope stuff.

4306
02:23:58,460 --> 02:23:59,440
A lot of raw dogging.

4307
02:23:59,900 --> 02:24:00,560
A lot of raw dogging.

4308
02:24:00,580 --> 02:24:02,360
I probably noticed this more with this, with

4309
02:24:02,360 --> 02:24:04,140
not this piece, but the one, the last

4310
02:24:04,140 --> 02:24:06,260
piece would look good on the art generator.

4311
02:24:06,360 --> 02:24:07,720
But then when it showed up on the,

4312
02:24:07,840 --> 02:24:09,780
it was dingy.

4313
02:24:09,940 --> 02:24:11,320
It didn't have any white.

4314
02:24:11,720 --> 02:24:11,940
Yeah.

4315
02:24:12,280 --> 02:24:12,580
Yeah.

4316
02:24:12,580 --> 02:24:13,100
It's not white.

4317
02:24:13,100 --> 02:24:15,660
The contrast was minimized.

4318
02:24:16,600 --> 02:24:18,860
And they said the Scaramanga piece is probably

4319
02:24:18,860 --> 02:24:20,180
the worst example of this.

4320
02:24:20,340 --> 02:24:22,220
There is no dynamic range.

4321
02:24:22,680 --> 02:24:23,620
No, no.

4322
02:24:23,720 --> 02:24:24,320
But don't worry.

4323
02:24:24,360 --> 02:24:24,940
We'll fix it.

4324
02:24:24,940 --> 02:24:26,240
Once we have more compute.

4325
02:24:28,240 --> 02:24:29,940
Try a different system.

4326
02:24:30,260 --> 02:24:32,160
I had lunch with a new guy in

4327
02:24:32,160 --> 02:24:32,460
town.

4328
02:24:32,620 --> 02:24:33,660
He's a little bit younger than me, which

4329
02:24:33,660 --> 02:24:34,100
was nice.

4330
02:24:34,320 --> 02:24:35,760
Everyone's a little bit older than me.

4331
02:24:36,200 --> 02:24:36,500
Wait, wait.

4332
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:38,240
How did this come about?

4333
02:24:39,120 --> 02:24:40,100
Oh, they moved.

4334
02:24:40,100 --> 02:24:41,320
He's just walking down the street and just

4335
02:24:41,320 --> 02:24:42,420
had lunch with some rando?

4336
02:24:42,600 --> 02:24:46,200
Hey, now he actually does the mixing at

4337
02:24:46,200 --> 02:24:49,440
church for the worship team, which is Christianese

4338
02:24:49,440 --> 02:24:50,000
for band.

4339
02:24:52,220 --> 02:24:53,840
And he's a musician.

4340
02:24:53,840 --> 02:24:56,440
So he plays guitar, but he's doing all

4341
02:24:56,440 --> 02:24:56,800
the mixing.

4342
02:24:57,000 --> 02:24:58,660
And finally, it's starting to sound good.

4343
02:24:58,680 --> 02:24:59,740
It really sounds good.

4344
02:25:00,300 --> 02:25:03,980
And he is a sales guy for the

4345
02:25:03,980 --> 02:25:04,720
hyperscalers.

4346
02:25:05,980 --> 02:25:08,440
And so he said, so I won't mention

4347
02:25:08,440 --> 02:25:10,800
his company, but they sell AI products and

4348
02:25:10,800 --> 02:25:13,480
they sell products where you can select the

4349
02:25:13,480 --> 02:25:14,460
model you want.

4350
02:25:15,100 --> 02:25:16,640
And so I said, oh, this is great.

4351
02:25:16,720 --> 02:25:18,020
So we sit, so I go out to

4352
02:25:18,020 --> 02:25:18,260
lunch.

4353
02:25:18,280 --> 02:25:19,340
We go out to lunch, have a little

4354
02:25:19,340 --> 02:25:19,700
chat.

4355
02:25:20,140 --> 02:25:21,420
And I said, well, what do you think

4356
02:25:21,420 --> 02:25:21,940
of this AI?

4357
02:25:21,940 --> 02:25:24,540
He says, you know, people in the industry

4358
02:25:24,540 --> 02:25:26,340
are saying, this is like jet travel.

4359
02:25:26,420 --> 02:25:27,380
This changes everything.

4360
02:25:27,440 --> 02:25:29,040
He says, this is bull crap.

4361
02:25:29,380 --> 02:25:31,740
He says, it's all still machine learning and

4362
02:25:31,740 --> 02:25:32,640
it's pretty good at it.

4363
02:25:33,140 --> 02:25:34,980
But there's no, like me, he says, there's

4364
02:25:34,980 --> 02:25:37,500
no intelligence in this artificial intelligence.

4365
02:25:37,700 --> 02:25:38,380
Zero, zero.

4366
02:25:38,480 --> 02:25:40,680
He says, we're not even at 0.1

4367
02:25:40,680 --> 02:25:42,240
% of anything intelligent.

4368
02:25:42,760 --> 02:25:45,000
Now, if you give it structured data and

4369
02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:46,720
you want to sift through it and find

4370
02:25:46,720 --> 02:25:48,840
things and categorize, yeah, that's machine learning.

4371
02:25:49,100 --> 02:25:50,180
It's machine learning.

4372
02:25:50,180 --> 02:25:52,640
That's where we were before the AI hype

4373
02:25:52,640 --> 02:25:53,240
took off.

4374
02:25:53,340 --> 02:25:55,600
Then it took off because people like Scaramanga

4375
02:25:55,600 --> 02:25:56,440
can make this stuff.

4376
02:25:56,480 --> 02:25:57,680
And we're like, we're gobsmacked.

4377
02:25:58,000 --> 02:25:59,780
Like, wow, this is great.

4378
02:25:59,800 --> 02:26:00,500
How did you do that?

4379
02:26:00,540 --> 02:26:02,000
Or you can make a country song because

4380
02:26:02,000 --> 02:26:05,160
all the AI generators only make country songs.

4381
02:26:05,980 --> 02:26:06,720
You notice that?

4382
02:26:07,040 --> 02:26:08,680
Oh man, I made a great song with

4383
02:26:08,680 --> 02:26:08,980
AI.

4384
02:26:09,140 --> 02:26:10,120
It's always a country song.

4385
02:26:11,900 --> 02:26:13,600
So that's just, he agrees with me.

4386
02:26:13,620 --> 02:26:14,740
It's just a parlor trick.

4387
02:26:15,500 --> 02:26:17,180
So that made me feel very good.

4388
02:26:17,220 --> 02:26:18,020
I paid for lunch.

4389
02:26:18,600 --> 02:26:19,360
Good to go.

4390
02:26:19,360 --> 02:26:20,060
Wow.

4391
02:26:20,180 --> 02:26:21,100
He got you.

4392
02:26:22,840 --> 02:26:24,800
What else do you want me to say

4393
02:26:24,800 --> 02:26:25,920
that I agree with?

4394
02:26:26,180 --> 02:26:28,880
Hey, a big $49 check at Werner's Cafe.

4395
02:26:29,240 --> 02:26:31,340
I think- 49 bucks for lunch is

4396
02:26:31,340 --> 02:26:31,880
a lot.

4397
02:26:32,060 --> 02:26:33,360
It's Fredericksburg, baby.

4398
02:26:34,280 --> 02:26:35,800
It's better to eat at home here.

4399
02:26:36,360 --> 02:26:37,180
For two people?

4400
02:26:37,940 --> 02:26:40,100
Two sandwiches, two drinks, and pie?

4401
02:26:40,700 --> 02:26:42,440
49 bucks is kind of- What do

4402
02:26:42,440 --> 02:26:44,020
you pay for in California for that?

4403
02:26:46,060 --> 02:26:47,880
$3.50. Okay.

4404
02:26:47,880 --> 02:26:49,240
All right.

4405
02:26:49,440 --> 02:26:50,480
I'm moving to Cali.

4406
02:26:50,800 --> 02:26:52,100
They'll tax you on the back end.

4407
02:26:52,160 --> 02:26:52,500
Don't worry.

4408
02:26:52,580 --> 02:26:53,520
They make it up in volume.

4409
02:26:54,400 --> 02:26:56,280
So thank you very much, Francisco Scaramanga.

4410
02:26:56,340 --> 02:26:58,020
Thank you to all of our artists who

4411
02:26:58,020 --> 02:27:02,380
diligently participate in this wacky contest at noagendaartgenerator

4412
02:27:02,380 --> 02:27:02,940
.com.

4413
02:27:03,040 --> 02:27:05,060
We really do appreciate what you do.

4414
02:27:06,280 --> 02:27:07,380
Now to the donations.

4415
02:27:07,500 --> 02:27:08,420
It'll be a quick list.

4416
02:27:08,800 --> 02:27:11,060
And of course, I've been grousing about this

4417
02:27:11,060 --> 02:27:12,560
because this is the lowest that's been in

4418
02:27:12,560 --> 02:27:13,180
a long time.

4419
02:27:13,200 --> 02:27:15,140
I want to point out that this is

4420
02:27:15,140 --> 02:27:16,560
the only gig we have.

4421
02:27:16,560 --> 02:27:19,440
So, you know, and this is a full

4422
02:27:19,440 --> 02:27:20,160
-time job.

4423
02:27:20,820 --> 02:27:23,180
And it's not so much about, you know,

4424
02:27:23,260 --> 02:27:25,420
executive producers, associate executive producers.

4425
02:27:25,700 --> 02:27:26,660
That's really nice.

4426
02:27:27,160 --> 02:27:28,800
But it's really where are the people who

4427
02:27:28,800 --> 02:27:31,220
just appreciate us and just give us five

4428
02:27:31,220 --> 02:27:31,920
bucks a show?

4429
02:27:32,460 --> 02:27:33,560
That's what I'm missing.

4430
02:27:34,300 --> 02:27:35,880
Well, the over 50s today.

4431
02:27:36,200 --> 02:27:36,500
Yeah.

4432
02:27:36,620 --> 02:27:39,200
In other words, everybody, including associate executive producers

4433
02:27:39,200 --> 02:27:41,520
and people paid over 50, is a grand

4434
02:27:41,520 --> 02:27:43,020
total of 28 people.

4435
02:27:43,620 --> 02:27:44,060
Yeah.

4436
02:27:44,200 --> 02:27:47,200
Since the newsletter is 29,000 something.

4437
02:27:47,360 --> 02:27:50,520
This is less than one person per thousand.

4438
02:27:50,640 --> 02:27:51,340
That's the newsletter.

4439
02:27:51,460 --> 02:27:53,840
And we have about 800,000 to a

4440
02:27:53,840 --> 02:27:54,700
million listeners.

4441
02:27:54,800 --> 02:27:55,800
Well, I'm going to take a look right

4442
02:27:55,800 --> 02:27:56,000
now.

4443
02:27:56,180 --> 02:27:57,080
I'll take a look at that.

4444
02:27:57,400 --> 02:28:01,300
And only 28 people.

4445
02:28:01,860 --> 02:28:03,120
That's telling me something.

4446
02:28:03,240 --> 02:28:03,840
That's telling me.

4447
02:28:03,960 --> 02:28:07,100
It's telling us that they're listening.

4448
02:28:08,100 --> 02:28:10,860
We still have the terabytes that are flowing

4449
02:28:10,860 --> 02:28:12,040
from the server.

4450
02:28:12,140 --> 02:28:12,840
Well, here I have.

4451
02:28:13,400 --> 02:28:18,540
In April, we had down in April.

4452
02:28:18,660 --> 02:28:22,460
We had 743,000 unique listeners.

4453
02:28:24,100 --> 02:28:24,960
That's April.

4454
02:28:25,500 --> 02:28:26,360
That's down.

4455
02:28:26,620 --> 02:28:27,180
That is down.

4456
02:28:27,280 --> 02:28:29,140
It's down from about 800.

4457
02:28:30,320 --> 02:28:31,400
850, 860.

4458
02:28:31,480 --> 02:28:33,200
We used to be up floating around in

4459
02:28:33,200 --> 02:28:33,600
a bump.

4460
02:28:33,700 --> 02:28:34,900
We're on our way down, baby.

4461
02:28:35,100 --> 02:28:36,280
We're on our way out.

4462
02:28:36,420 --> 02:28:36,660
We're old.

4463
02:28:37,100 --> 02:28:37,980
We're yesterday's news.

4464
02:28:38,200 --> 02:28:39,400
We're not enough TikToks.

4465
02:28:39,460 --> 02:28:41,200
Wrap us in fish.

4466
02:28:41,340 --> 02:28:42,160
I mean, that's nothing.

4467
02:28:42,160 --> 02:28:44,320
We're just a whole bunch of old boomers.

4468
02:28:44,400 --> 02:28:45,700
Got to play with boomers.

4469
02:28:45,780 --> 02:28:46,600
Nobody cares.

4470
02:28:46,780 --> 02:28:48,300
So maybe we play TikTok clips.

4471
02:28:48,360 --> 02:28:52,160
Anyway, we do like doing this.

4472
02:28:52,260 --> 02:28:53,460
By the way, I have to say the

4473
02:28:53,460 --> 02:28:55,320
TikTok clips come in bunches.

4474
02:28:55,680 --> 02:28:58,520
Like, you know, you don't see anything.

4475
02:28:58,720 --> 02:29:00,040
Every once in a while, someone will send

4476
02:29:00,040 --> 02:29:00,380
me one.

4477
02:29:00,420 --> 02:29:01,120
Say, look at this one.

4478
02:29:01,520 --> 02:29:02,340
And I catch it.

4479
02:29:02,380 --> 02:29:04,000
And it's just hooked to a bunch of

4480
02:29:04,000 --> 02:29:04,420
other ones.

4481
02:29:04,520 --> 02:29:05,660
Bang, bang, bang, bang.

4482
02:29:05,800 --> 02:29:07,700
They're all, you know, they're nailing it.

4483
02:29:07,800 --> 02:29:09,280
It's called an algo, by the way.

4484
02:29:09,340 --> 02:29:11,480
Yeah, but the algo doesn't trigger right all

4485
02:29:11,480 --> 02:29:12,020
the time.

4486
02:29:12,660 --> 02:29:14,960
Because if, for example, if I'm using Jay's

4487
02:29:14,960 --> 02:29:15,260
phone.

4488
02:29:15,680 --> 02:29:15,860
Yeah.

4489
02:29:16,060 --> 02:29:16,300
Oh, no.

4490
02:29:16,460 --> 02:29:18,460
The algo always drives me to the same.

4491
02:29:18,560 --> 02:29:19,660
But it's a phone.

4492
02:29:19,800 --> 02:29:20,460
It's an app.

4493
02:29:20,540 --> 02:29:22,040
The app is doing all kinds of stuff

4494
02:29:22,040 --> 02:29:23,560
under the hood that you don't see.

4495
02:29:23,720 --> 02:29:24,480
That's why it knows.

4496
02:29:24,600 --> 02:29:25,800
I'll tell you what I get a lot

4497
02:29:25,800 --> 02:29:26,080
of.

4498
02:29:26,540 --> 02:29:28,280
If it's if I'm left on my own,

4499
02:29:28,320 --> 02:29:30,000
if the thing figures who I am and

4500
02:29:30,000 --> 02:29:31,520
they want to give me stuff, I like

4501
02:29:31,520 --> 02:29:33,900
lousy cooking videos.

4502
02:29:34,040 --> 02:29:35,740
People who can't cook.

4503
02:29:35,860 --> 02:29:36,880
Yeah, there's a lot of that.

4504
02:29:37,600 --> 02:29:38,320
And they can.

4505
02:29:38,400 --> 02:29:40,360
And it's like a joke to watch.

4506
02:29:40,420 --> 02:29:41,160
I mean, you can't.

4507
02:29:41,160 --> 02:29:42,820
It's like watching a train wreck.

4508
02:29:43,420 --> 02:29:44,040
You just can't.

4509
02:29:44,240 --> 02:29:46,320
Now, watch what is who would eat this?

4510
02:29:46,900 --> 02:29:47,860
And that's one.

4511
02:29:49,020 --> 02:29:49,480
That's one.

4512
02:29:49,560 --> 02:29:53,580
The other ones are the phony baloney elaborate

4513
02:29:53,580 --> 02:29:55,980
videos that show you that something you could

4514
02:29:55,980 --> 02:29:57,020
do this, that and the other thing.

4515
02:29:57,080 --> 02:30:00,180
And then magically something happens, which is bogus.

4516
02:30:00,700 --> 02:30:01,020
My fate.

4517
02:30:01,140 --> 02:30:02,740
The most recent one I had, there's a

4518
02:30:02,740 --> 02:30:02,900
guy.

4519
02:30:03,000 --> 02:30:05,080
OK, guy takes a he takes a wine

4520
02:30:05,080 --> 02:30:06,880
glass and he wraps the bottom in foil

4521
02:30:06,880 --> 02:30:08,160
and put some foil on the bottom of

4522
02:30:08,160 --> 02:30:08,700
the stem.

4523
02:30:08,800 --> 02:30:10,160
So it's all foil up.

4524
02:30:10,160 --> 02:30:11,940
Then he puts lays it on a on

4525
02:30:11,940 --> 02:30:14,080
a box and the bar and he's got

4526
02:30:14,080 --> 02:30:16,500
the wine glass pointed against the wall and

4527
02:30:16,500 --> 02:30:17,860
he's got all the foil around it.

4528
02:30:18,200 --> 02:30:20,780
And then he takes his phone, turns on

4529
02:30:20,780 --> 02:30:22,740
a video, puts the phone up against a

4530
02:30:22,740 --> 02:30:23,500
foam block.

4531
02:30:23,520 --> 02:30:26,720
So it's so it is being so it's

4532
02:30:26,720 --> 02:30:28,680
up kind of up against the wine glass.

4533
02:30:28,800 --> 02:30:31,820
And suddenly, magically, the image on the phone

4534
02:30:31,820 --> 02:30:33,580
is projected onto the wall.

4535
02:30:33,660 --> 02:30:34,120
Oh, no.

4536
02:30:36,600 --> 02:30:37,620
Yeah, there's a lot.

4537
02:30:37,660 --> 02:30:38,940
It's like dead serious.

4538
02:30:38,940 --> 02:30:40,060
It's bullcrap.

4539
02:30:40,260 --> 02:30:40,460
Well.

4540
02:30:41,280 --> 02:30:44,280
You know, if you just gave up on

4541
02:30:44,280 --> 02:30:46,360
this show and spent your time making tick

4542
02:30:46,360 --> 02:30:48,420
tock videos of you cooking, you would do

4543
02:30:48,420 --> 02:30:48,760
better.

4544
02:30:50,080 --> 02:30:51,920
I guarantee you, you would do better.

4545
02:30:52,000 --> 02:30:52,280
Thank you.

4546
02:30:52,320 --> 02:30:52,720
Cotton gin.

4547
02:30:52,880 --> 02:30:54,920
Eighteen hundred and four was the total.

4548
02:30:55,120 --> 02:30:56,180
The script broke.

4549
02:30:56,300 --> 02:30:56,900
That's all right.

4550
02:30:56,920 --> 02:30:57,480
That's decent.

4551
02:30:58,560 --> 02:30:59,060
But you're right.

4552
02:30:59,660 --> 02:31:02,280
Twenty nine, twenty eight, twenty nine people above

4553
02:31:02,280 --> 02:31:02,740
50.

4554
02:31:03,020 --> 02:31:05,720
And it's and a lot of the executive

4555
02:31:05,720 --> 02:31:08,600
associate executive producers, they figured out, oh, I

4556
02:31:08,600 --> 02:31:11,680
can I can put an ad in here.

4557
02:31:11,680 --> 02:31:13,720
So I'm a little I'm a little down

4558
02:31:13,720 --> 02:31:14,680
on twenty nine.

4559
02:31:14,780 --> 02:31:16,340
But you got to remember the first cell

4560
02:31:16,340 --> 02:31:16,800
is OK.

4561
02:31:16,960 --> 02:31:17,620
It's twenty eight.

4562
02:31:17,980 --> 02:31:20,440
So the bottom line is it's value for

4563
02:31:20,440 --> 02:31:20,880
value.

4564
02:31:21,060 --> 02:31:22,260
And if we don't feel that we get

4565
02:31:22,260 --> 02:31:24,120
the value back, whatever that means to us,

4566
02:31:24,200 --> 02:31:26,140
whatever it means to you, if you don't

4567
02:31:26,140 --> 02:31:28,300
give us anything, then we will find I

4568
02:31:28,300 --> 02:31:29,560
will find something else to do.

4569
02:31:29,580 --> 02:31:30,840
And if I find something else to do,

4570
02:31:30,940 --> 02:31:32,360
John, you have to find something else to

4571
02:31:32,360 --> 02:31:32,480
do.

4572
02:31:32,600 --> 02:31:33,960
You're not going to do the show on

4573
02:31:33,960 --> 02:31:34,580
your own.

4574
02:31:35,480 --> 02:31:36,420
It's not a threat.

4575
02:31:36,420 --> 02:31:38,480
It's a promise of the value for value

4576
02:31:38,480 --> 02:31:42,560
show that now I would watch that I

4577
02:31:42,560 --> 02:31:44,220
would watch the John Tick-Tock show.

4578
02:31:44,540 --> 02:31:46,680
I mean, Tina shows me the cooking videos

4579
02:31:46,680 --> 02:31:47,700
all the time.

4580
02:31:48,660 --> 02:31:49,760
This is one old bag.

4581
02:31:49,820 --> 02:31:52,240
And she and I say that because she

4582
02:31:52,240 --> 02:31:55,280
says about herself and she she's cooking.

4583
02:31:55,380 --> 02:31:56,520
Her son is always there.

4584
02:31:56,700 --> 02:31:58,300
And you were you apologize.

4585
02:31:58,480 --> 02:32:00,020
You were using the term old bag.

4586
02:32:00,300 --> 02:32:02,040
Yeah, I don't want to be mean.

4587
02:32:04,140 --> 02:32:07,140
And and she's thrown like everything is cheese

4588
02:32:07,140 --> 02:32:09,260
and I throw a lot of cheese.

4589
02:32:09,540 --> 02:32:11,800
All these guys, they always top it with

4590
02:32:11,800 --> 02:32:14,660
a bunch of cheese, cheese, cheese, melt the

4591
02:32:14,660 --> 02:32:15,380
cheese on it.

4592
02:32:15,560 --> 02:32:16,580
And she always tastes it.

4593
02:32:16,700 --> 02:32:17,820
Oh, it's delicious.

4594
02:32:19,440 --> 02:32:20,320
There's yes.

4595
02:32:20,420 --> 02:32:21,260
People love that.

4596
02:32:21,320 --> 02:32:22,720
People love cooking stuff.

4597
02:32:22,960 --> 02:32:24,540
It's putting everybody out of business.

4598
02:32:25,220 --> 02:32:26,900
It's Tick-Tock is a scourge.

4599
02:32:27,120 --> 02:32:27,840
We should ban it.

4600
02:32:27,880 --> 02:32:29,840
The Chinese are tracking you with it's no

4601
02:32:29,840 --> 02:32:30,060
good.

4602
02:32:30,060 --> 02:32:32,760
And we do want to thank our Dutch

4603
02:32:32,760 --> 02:32:34,980
producer, who was the top executive producer today

4604
02:32:34,980 --> 02:32:37,260
with five hundred and twenty six thirty six.

4605
02:32:37,540 --> 02:32:40,040
And this is a longtime supporter, Marcel van

4606
02:32:40,040 --> 02:32:43,500
Dongen from Schravenhagen in the Netherlands.

4607
02:32:43,680 --> 02:32:46,520
ITM Gents, he says my first donation was

4608
02:32:46,520 --> 02:32:50,400
a fifteen hundred dollar in double up episode

4609
02:32:50,400 --> 02:32:51,300
fifteen oh one.

4610
02:32:51,360 --> 02:32:53,180
I was announced but not knighted.

4611
02:32:53,360 --> 02:32:53,660
Whoa.

4612
02:32:54,440 --> 02:32:56,140
So I think that makes me a black

4613
02:32:56,140 --> 02:32:57,560
Insta Baron douchebag.

4614
02:32:57,620 --> 02:32:58,500
Well, you're not a douchebag.

4615
02:32:58,560 --> 02:32:59,160
That's for sure.

4616
02:32:59,660 --> 02:33:01,480
I hope I'm not too late for the

4617
02:33:01,480 --> 02:33:02,240
title of Commodore.

4618
02:33:02,340 --> 02:33:03,740
I think we made an exception for him.

4619
02:33:03,800 --> 02:33:04,240
Did we not?

4620
02:33:04,820 --> 02:33:06,440
Yeah, because of this complaint.

4621
02:33:06,780 --> 02:33:08,320
Well, and he's a spot on.

4622
02:33:09,960 --> 02:33:13,460
I'd oh, I hope I'm I says I

4623
02:33:13,460 --> 02:33:14,500
hope I am too late.

4624
02:33:14,600 --> 02:33:15,500
I think it means not too late for

4625
02:33:15,500 --> 02:33:16,200
the title of Commodore.

4626
02:33:16,560 --> 02:33:18,560
I'd rather have a ZX Spectrum title.

4627
02:33:19,220 --> 02:33:21,440
My 60th birthday is coming up this Thursday,

4628
02:33:21,580 --> 02:33:22,340
May 15th.

4629
02:33:22,340 --> 02:33:23,060
So happy birthday.

4630
02:33:23,440 --> 02:33:24,960
Can I have a deducing?

4631
02:33:26,740 --> 02:33:28,520
You've been deduced.

4632
02:33:30,020 --> 02:33:33,920
And for the roundtable, some drop shot and

4633
02:33:33,920 --> 02:33:34,900
stroopwafels.

4634
02:33:35,140 --> 02:33:35,660
Drop shot.

4635
02:33:36,060 --> 02:33:37,040
Okay, you got it.

4636
02:33:37,320 --> 02:33:39,040
And a title change from night of the

4637
02:33:39,040 --> 02:33:39,600
I remember.

4638
02:33:42,300 --> 02:33:43,080
That's he said.

4639
02:33:43,120 --> 02:33:45,700
Try with two bleeds tonight or Baron of

4640
02:33:45,700 --> 02:33:47,940
the Calangela hideout.

4641
02:33:48,400 --> 02:33:50,600
We are planning on building a resort on

4642
02:33:50,600 --> 02:33:52,180
the Calangela Island in.

4643
02:33:52,460 --> 02:33:53,840
Is that pronounced that right?

4644
02:33:53,840 --> 02:33:58,680
Calangela Island in Lake Victoria and thinking how

4645
02:33:58,680 --> 02:34:01,240
to do the V for V model there.

4646
02:34:01,340 --> 02:34:01,720
Don't.

4647
02:34:02,200 --> 02:34:03,420
I advise against it now.

4648
02:34:03,840 --> 02:34:05,240
It won't work.

4649
02:34:05,720 --> 02:34:07,620
Douchebag show up and they'll just take advantage

4650
02:34:07,620 --> 02:34:08,000
of you.

4651
02:34:08,280 --> 02:34:08,800
Any tips?

4652
02:34:08,900 --> 02:34:09,360
Yeah, don't.

4653
02:34:09,700 --> 02:34:10,440
Thank you for your courage.

4654
02:34:10,560 --> 02:34:11,720
Marcel van Dongen.

4655
02:34:11,740 --> 02:34:13,980
Marcel, I don't know if we ordered.

4656
02:34:14,060 --> 02:34:15,220
Let me make sure we get that order

4657
02:34:15,220 --> 02:34:15,700
for you.

4658
02:34:15,980 --> 02:34:17,860
52636 was his donation.

4659
02:34:18,200 --> 02:34:20,140
Yes, and I'm making sure that we have

4660
02:34:20,140 --> 02:34:22,440
your drop shot and the stroopwafels at the

4661
02:34:22,440 --> 02:34:22,900
roundtable.

4662
02:34:23,040 --> 02:34:23,520
You bet, sir.

4663
02:34:23,520 --> 02:34:24,560
Thank you very much, Marcel.

4664
02:34:25,280 --> 02:34:27,560
Kevin Cuneo Cuneo.

4665
02:34:27,700 --> 02:34:30,740
One of the two in San Carlos is

4666
02:34:30,740 --> 02:34:32,600
over here with our anonymous cop, I guess.

4667
02:34:33,300 --> 02:34:34,100
350 93.

4668
02:34:34,340 --> 02:34:36,200
I can John and Adam, please deduce me.

4669
02:34:37,960 --> 02:34:39,580
You've been deduced.

4670
02:34:40,480 --> 02:34:43,440
This donation of 33333, which is what it

4671
02:34:43,440 --> 02:34:45,960
amounts to before the fees, which, by the

4672
02:34:45,960 --> 02:34:47,120
way, are only 15 cents.

4673
02:34:47,140 --> 02:34:47,880
If you use a check.

4674
02:34:48,020 --> 02:34:48,380
That's right.

4675
02:34:48,380 --> 02:34:51,720
May I please request baby making karma and

4676
02:34:51,720 --> 02:34:53,180

Cheers, Casey in San Mateo County.

02:35:00,340 --> 02:35:03,340
You've got karma.

4680
02:35:07,080 --> 02:35:08,020
There you go, Kevin.

4681
02:35:08,740 --> 02:35:11,780
And remember, if it works, you got to

4682
02:35:11,780 --> 02:35:13,220
name your kid after John and Adam.

4683
02:35:14,060 --> 02:35:17,060
Kevin Cuneo, San Carlos, California.

4684
02:35:17,720 --> 02:35:19,200
ITM Adam and John, please deduce.

4685
02:35:19,200 --> 02:35:20,240
Well, there we go.

4686

You've been you're reading the same note.

02:35:24,540 --> 02:35:25,200
Oh, I'm sorry.

4688
02:35:25,320 --> 02:35:26,480
Well, he got a double deducing.

4689
02:35:26,560 --> 02:35:27,440
Sir Brian with an eye.

4690
02:35:27,580 --> 02:35:28,900
That's the one I needed to do.

4691
02:35:29,240 --> 02:35:30,500
Sir Brian with an eye.

4692
02:35:30,580 --> 02:35:32,180
Who does not know Sir Brian with an

4693
02:35:32,180 --> 02:35:32,360
eye?

4694
02:35:32,480 --> 02:35:33,720
He's from Cedar Park, Texas.

4695
02:35:34,320 --> 02:35:35,120
Three thirty three.

4696
02:35:35,680 --> 02:35:37,740
And he says I shall now be gallivanting

4697
02:35:37,740 --> 02:35:39,160
and meetups as a baronet.

4698
02:35:39,840 --> 02:35:41,320
But I request no title changes.

4699
02:35:41,420 --> 02:35:43,720
My current name already carries too much clout.

4700
02:35:43,820 --> 02:35:45,960
And I don't want to confuse my fans.

4701
02:35:45,960 --> 02:35:48,120
And if fans want to meet Sir Brian

4702
02:35:48,120 --> 02:35:49,600
with an eye, he will, of course, be

4703
02:35:49,600 --> 02:35:51,820
at the meetup, the Fredericksburg meetup coming up

4704
02:35:51,820 --> 02:35:52,460
this Saturday.

4705
02:35:52,940 --> 02:35:55,520
It's actually in Lukenbach at the 1776 bar.

4706
02:35:55,660 --> 02:35:56,500
We will all be there.

4707
02:35:56,580 --> 02:35:58,360
Three thirty three p.m. Thank you, Sir

4708
02:35:58,360 --> 02:35:59,080
Brian with an eye.

4709
02:35:59,280 --> 02:36:01,320
And we look forward to you and your

4710
02:36:01,320 --> 02:36:01,940
fans.

4711
02:36:02,620 --> 02:36:04,240
The town is named Lukenbach?

4712
02:36:04,440 --> 02:36:05,200
Lukenbach, yes.

4713
02:36:05,400 --> 02:36:06,240
Very famous town.

4714
02:36:06,480 --> 02:36:06,860
Very fine.

4715
02:36:06,920 --> 02:36:07,540
Very famous.

4716
02:36:07,900 --> 02:36:08,340
Lukenbach.

4717
02:36:08,580 --> 02:36:10,520
That whole area must just have been taken

4718
02:36:10,520 --> 02:36:11,460
over by the Germans.

4719
02:36:11,460 --> 02:36:14,000
Well, yes, it was founded by the Germans

4720
02:36:14,000 --> 02:36:18,080
in, I want to say, 1840 something.

4721
02:36:20,580 --> 02:36:21,860
And supposedly...

4722
02:36:21,860 --> 02:36:23,120
Anybody ever ask why?

4723
02:36:23,240 --> 02:36:25,540
Who were these Germans that went to Texas

4724
02:36:25,540 --> 02:36:26,880
in 1840?

4725
02:36:27,060 --> 02:36:29,720
These were very brave people who were looking

4726
02:36:29,720 --> 02:36:32,240
for a better life than jolly old Deutschland.

4727
02:36:33,000 --> 02:36:36,560
And they settled here and they apparently, the

4728
02:36:36,560 --> 02:36:40,460
Fredericksburgians, made a deal with the Comanche Indians

4729
02:36:40,460 --> 02:36:41,420
that was never broken.

4730
02:36:42,220 --> 02:36:43,280
They treated them right.

4731
02:36:44,860 --> 02:36:45,600
And there you go.

4732
02:36:45,980 --> 02:36:47,560
That's the history of Fredericksburg.

4733
02:36:47,860 --> 02:36:50,500
You might notice the name Fredericksburg.

4734
02:36:50,860 --> 02:36:51,680
You know, name after...

4735
02:36:51,680 --> 02:36:52,820
Oh, yeah, I know that.

4736
02:36:52,980 --> 02:36:53,400
Frederick.

4737
02:36:53,600 --> 02:36:55,280
I didn't know they had a bunch of

4738
02:36:55,280 --> 02:36:58,140
ancillary towns named with German names all over

4739
02:36:58,140 --> 02:36:58,280
it.

4740
02:36:58,320 --> 02:37:01,220
We've got the Schlitterbahn over there an hour

4741
02:37:01,220 --> 02:37:01,700
away.

4742
02:37:01,820 --> 02:37:02,960
Everything is German here.

4743
02:37:03,540 --> 02:37:05,780
And how this went over during World War

4744
02:37:05,780 --> 02:37:06,140
II?

4745
02:37:06,660 --> 02:37:09,060
So a friend of mine of ours, he

4746
02:37:09,060 --> 02:37:13,160
does estate sales, which means you go into

4747
02:37:13,160 --> 02:37:15,340
dead people's homes and you find all the

4748
02:37:15,340 --> 02:37:17,280
gems and you buy them up and then

4749
02:37:17,280 --> 02:37:17,800
you sell them.

4750
02:37:18,260 --> 02:37:22,700
He says, here in Fredericksburg, there's a lot

4751
02:37:22,700 --> 02:37:28,920
of paraphernalia and flags and stuff with swastikas

4752
02:37:28,920 --> 02:37:32,280
on it at the estate sales.

4753
02:37:32,500 --> 02:37:33,960
I don't know if he puts those up

4754
02:37:33,960 --> 02:37:36,380
for sale right away, I find a lot

4755
02:37:36,380 --> 02:37:37,660
of interesting stuff.

4756
02:37:38,580 --> 02:37:39,120
I bet he does.

4757
02:37:39,260 --> 02:37:41,200
Dave Sorensen probably finds interesting stuff.

4758
02:37:41,300 --> 02:37:42,460
He's in Winthrop, Washington.

4759
02:37:42,620 --> 02:37:46,660
It came in with $233.99. Forgive me,

4760
02:37:46,980 --> 02:37:48,760
fathers, for I have sinned.

4761
02:37:49,280 --> 02:37:51,200
It has been 301 days since my last

4762
02:37:51,200 --> 02:37:51,600
donation.

4763
02:37:51,820 --> 02:37:54,900
This row of ducks, I guess it was

4764
02:37:54,900 --> 02:37:56,920
22222 plus the fees.

4765
02:37:57,540 --> 02:37:59,860
It was hardly absolved me, but I do

4766
02:37:59,860 --> 02:38:02,440
appreciate you both so much and still haven't

4767
02:38:02,440 --> 02:38:04,380
missed an episode since the first one I

4768
02:38:04,380 --> 02:38:04,900
listened to.

4769
02:38:04,900 --> 02:38:09,620
An announcement of possible interest for many of

4770
02:38:09,620 --> 02:38:12,220
the Extended No Agenda community, my wife and

4771
02:38:12,220 --> 02:38:15,620
I produce a family-friendly primitive skills gathering

4772
02:38:15,620 --> 02:38:19,120
annually up here in the wild mountains of

4773
02:38:19,120 --> 02:38:20,260
Okanagan County.

4774
02:38:21,400 --> 02:38:23,760
If you have never ever wanted to learn

4775
02:38:23,760 --> 02:38:28,800
how to make buckskin, process your own animals,

4776
02:38:30,220 --> 02:38:35,720
flintknap arrowheads, forge iron and steel tools, weave

4777
02:38:35,720 --> 02:38:43,100
a basket with willow, or have any interest

4778
02:38:43,100 --> 02:38:48,000
in similar ancestral skills, consider attending the Saskatoon

4779
02:38:48,000 --> 02:38:52,120
Circle next month, starting on June 15th.

4780
02:38:52,140 --> 02:38:56,000
More information at saskatooncirclegathering.com.

4781
02:38:56,780 --> 02:38:59,500
And mention this note for a 10%

4782
02:38:59,500 --> 02:39:00,500
discount on tickets.

4783
02:39:01,260 --> 02:39:03,320
Lastly, as I embark on what will hopefully

4784
02:39:03,320 --> 02:39:06,580
be my final career in this lifetime, I

4785
02:39:06,580 --> 02:39:09,460
ask for grass-growing karma.

4786
02:39:11,200 --> 02:39:11,920
ITM.

4787
02:39:14,330 --> 02:39:15,930
You've got karma.

4788
02:39:18,290 --> 02:39:22,230
All right, La Jolla Salt Corporation checks in

4789
02:39:22,230 --> 02:39:26,830
with $210.60 from California, La Jolla.

4790
02:39:27,630 --> 02:39:30,250
For tight copy, apply a red pencil.

4791
02:39:30,710 --> 02:39:34,030
For tight skin, apply a moisturizing sea salt

4792
02:39:34,030 --> 02:39:36,290
scrub from lajollasalt.com.

4793
02:39:36,590 --> 02:39:38,850
Keep it tight and moisturize with American-made

4794
02:39:38,850 --> 02:39:41,790
small-batch artisan-crafted sea salt scrub from

4795
02:39:41,790 --> 02:39:43,730
the village of La Jolla by the sea.

4796
02:39:44,130 --> 02:39:45,050
Ooh, Akbar!

4797
02:39:46,010 --> 02:39:46,910
They learned.

4798
02:39:47,610 --> 02:39:49,390
My complaining paid off.

4799
02:39:49,670 --> 02:39:51,090
Remember they had that long copy?

4800
02:39:51,850 --> 02:39:52,990
Yeah, this is pretty tight.

4801
02:39:53,070 --> 02:39:53,970
This is how you do it.

4802
02:39:54,030 --> 02:39:55,490
And by the way, thank you for the

4803
02:39:55,490 --> 02:39:55,810
product.

4804
02:39:55,890 --> 02:39:56,670
It's very good.

4805
02:39:56,670 --> 02:39:58,550
It's an outstanding product.

4806
02:39:58,690 --> 02:40:00,410
I have never tried any other sea salt

4807
02:40:00,410 --> 02:40:03,070
scrub, but this one, it does the job

4808
02:40:03,070 --> 02:40:05,210
as you prognosticate.

4809
02:40:06,010 --> 02:40:07,670
Linda Lou Patkins up here.

4810
02:40:07,830 --> 02:40:10,330
She's from Lakewood, Colorado and wants jobs, Carmen.

4811
02:40:10,470 --> 02:40:13,650
Says for a faster job search with a

4812
02:40:13,650 --> 02:40:16,350
resume that gets results, go to imagemakersinc.com

4813
02:40:16,350 --> 02:40:19,070
for your executive resume and job search needs.

4814
02:40:19,790 --> 02:40:24,570
That's imagemakersinc.com and work with Linda Lou,

4815
02:40:24,690 --> 02:40:26,530
Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes.

4816
02:40:27,530 --> 02:40:30,090
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4817
02:40:30,210 --> 02:40:31,790
Let's vote for jobs.

4818
02:40:35,110 --> 02:40:36,970
Now we have a note from the Dale

4819
02:40:36,970 --> 02:40:37,490
family.

4820
02:40:37,710 --> 02:40:40,910
It's our last associate executive producer title and

4821
02:40:40,910 --> 02:40:43,350
it is written, uh, it looks like, uh,

4822
02:40:43,350 --> 02:40:46,350
written, this is, it's very 3D.

4823
02:40:47,190 --> 02:40:49,210
Uh, it was written with pen and ink

4824
02:40:49,210 --> 02:40:51,410
or one of those really fat, uh, nubs.

4825
02:40:51,770 --> 02:40:51,990
Nub?

4826
02:40:52,090 --> 02:40:52,550
Is it a nub?

4827
02:40:52,630 --> 02:40:52,890
A nib?

4828
02:40:52,930 --> 02:40:53,250
A nub?

4829
02:40:53,290 --> 02:40:53,870
What do you call that?

4830
02:40:54,550 --> 02:40:54,970
I don't know.

4831
02:40:55,690 --> 02:40:55,970
Nib.

4832
02:40:56,150 --> 02:40:56,950
Nib, yes.

4833
02:40:57,050 --> 02:40:59,450
ITM John Adam, until now we have only

4834
02:40:59,450 --> 02:41:01,790
made small token donations, but I'm afraid it

4835
02:41:01,790 --> 02:41:02,970
wasn't enough to de-douche.

4836
02:41:03,030 --> 02:41:05,610
So please de-douche our team post haste.

4837
02:41:07,090 --> 02:41:08,870
You've been de-douched.

4838
02:41:09,290 --> 02:41:11,150
Over the years, the Noah Jenner Show has

4839
02:41:11,150 --> 02:41:14,350
filled an important modern events and critical thinking

4840
02:41:14,350 --> 02:41:15,870
component in our home school.

4841
02:41:16,130 --> 02:41:17,470
Ah, I love this.

4842
02:41:18,070 --> 02:41:18,630
That's right.

4843
02:41:18,910 --> 02:41:20,190
By the way, hello to all the kids

4844
02:41:20,190 --> 02:41:22,490
from heritage school listening, all three of you.

4845
02:41:23,010 --> 02:41:24,550
This is not a school though.

4846
02:41:24,550 --> 02:41:27,410
It's a family education project and we wrote

4847
02:41:27,410 --> 02:41:28,450
a book about it.

4848
02:41:28,710 --> 02:41:31,690
We didn't go through a publishing house.

4849
02:41:32,290 --> 02:41:34,190
This book did not have to be approved

4850
02:41:34,190 --> 02:41:35,410
by a corporate editor.

4851
02:41:35,990 --> 02:41:37,650
It told the story as best we could

4852
02:41:37,650 --> 02:41:40,710
of our 19 year home education journey and

4853
02:41:40,710 --> 02:41:44,390
the educational pedagogy we developed that led to

4854
02:41:44,390 --> 02:41:47,450
our daughter getting a 1460 on the SAT.

4855
02:41:47,870 --> 02:41:48,170
Whoa.

4856
02:41:49,270 --> 02:41:51,110
Among other amazing accomplishments.

4857
02:41:51,110 --> 02:41:53,710
Boost this value for value audio book on

4858
02:41:53,710 --> 02:41:56,870
podcastindex.org now by searching.

4859
02:41:56,990 --> 02:41:58,710
This is not a school.

4860
02:41:59,350 --> 02:42:00,810
So you can get that a modern podcast

4861
02:42:00,810 --> 02:42:03,690
to look for it in fountain or podcast

4862
02:42:03,690 --> 02:42:03,970
guru.

4863
02:42:04,050 --> 02:42:04,450
I like that.

4864
02:42:04,550 --> 02:42:08,050
Thank you, John Adam, Albie, fountain and the

4865
02:42:08,050 --> 02:42:08,490
Noah Jenner.

4866
02:42:08,490 --> 02:42:09,250
I was thinking fountain.

4867
02:42:09,450 --> 02:42:11,370
And the Noah Jenner Nation for helping us

4868
02:42:11,370 --> 02:42:13,730
navigate the value for value model and giving

4869
02:42:13,730 --> 02:42:16,130
us an opportunity to work outside the system

4870
02:42:16,130 --> 02:42:18,410
to tell our story our way.

4871
02:42:18,410 --> 02:42:20,210
Keep up the great work.

4872
02:42:20,750 --> 02:42:21,190
Jingles.

4873
02:42:21,930 --> 02:42:22,790
Resist we much.

4874
02:42:24,150 --> 02:42:25,030
R2D2 karma.

4875
02:42:26,470 --> 02:42:27,350
And ants.

4876
02:42:27,810 --> 02:42:28,930
And oh, and a you might die.

4877
02:42:29,070 --> 02:42:29,350
I'm sorry.

4878
02:42:29,470 --> 02:42:32,460
I didn't get my you might die.

4879
02:42:32,680 --> 02:42:33,020
Hold on.

4880
02:42:34,660 --> 02:42:35,540
Might die.

4881
02:42:35,960 --> 02:42:36,700
Yes, of course.

4882
02:42:36,780 --> 02:42:37,920
We always have that handy.

4883
02:42:38,780 --> 02:42:39,080
Okay.

4884
02:42:39,820 --> 02:42:41,080
Oh, it's the Dale family.

4885
02:42:41,260 --> 02:42:43,880
John, Jessica, Caitlin, Casey and Kayla.

4886
02:42:44,280 --> 02:42:46,260
And John has been working on this for

4887
02:42:46,260 --> 02:42:47,940
a long time in this project.

4888
02:42:47,940 --> 02:42:49,840
I've helped him from time to time.

4889
02:42:49,980 --> 02:42:50,940
He had questions.

4890
02:42:51,260 --> 02:42:52,820
You know, they were doing the RSS feed

4891
02:42:52,820 --> 02:42:55,300
by themselves, but they did what most people

4892
02:42:55,300 --> 02:42:57,680
don't do is actually reach out to someone

4893
02:42:57,680 --> 02:42:59,240
who knows how to do this stuff.

4894
02:42:59,720 --> 02:43:00,500
So that was a double.

4895
02:43:00,920 --> 02:43:04,960
I know what what they ask for advice

4896
02:43:04,960 --> 02:43:05,540
and help.

4897
02:43:05,620 --> 02:43:07,040
So I get a lot of emails from

4898
02:43:07,040 --> 02:43:07,360
John.

4899
02:43:07,460 --> 02:43:09,220
And so go boost those kids.

4900
02:43:09,240 --> 02:43:10,500
They are pretty cool.

4901
02:43:10,820 --> 02:43:12,740
But resist we much.

4902
02:43:13,260 --> 02:43:18,360
We must and we will much about that.

4903
02:43:19,000 --> 02:43:19,600
Be committed.

4904
02:43:19,880 --> 02:43:20,780
You might die.

4905
02:43:21,380 --> 02:43:22,380
All right, everybody.

4906
02:43:22,560 --> 02:43:23,120
Stand by.

4907
02:43:23,200 --> 02:43:25,200
Here comes a little bit of John's ant

4908
02:43:25,200 --> 02:43:25,660
song.

4909
02:43:43,920 --> 02:43:47,280
And that concludes our executive and associate executive

4910
02:43:47,280 --> 02:43:50,000
producers for episode 1764.

4911
02:43:50,320 --> 02:43:52,540
It still is the best podcast in the

4912
02:43:52,540 --> 02:43:52,800
universe.

4913
02:43:52,900 --> 02:43:54,340
And I love getting notes like that.

4914
02:43:54,400 --> 02:43:55,500
That really does make my day.

4915
02:43:55,520 --> 02:43:57,540
And when you say that, that it helped

4916
02:43:57,540 --> 02:43:59,420
in your homeschooling project.

4917
02:43:59,960 --> 02:44:02,500
Not a homeschool, but your schooling project at

4918
02:44:02,500 --> 02:44:02,720
home.

4919
02:44:02,940 --> 02:44:04,280
That gives me hope.

4920
02:44:04,280 --> 02:44:05,320
Hope for humanity.

4921
02:44:05,600 --> 02:44:06,680
Hope for America.

4922
02:44:07,340 --> 02:44:08,700
Yes, I salute you.

4923
02:44:09,280 --> 02:44:13,260
Of course, all of these titles are real

4924
02:44:13,260 --> 02:44:13,580
ones.

4925
02:44:13,640 --> 02:44:15,320
They can be used even in con.

4926
02:44:15,400 --> 02:44:16,460
If you happen to be there, you can

4927
02:44:16,460 --> 02:44:18,300
walk around and say, hey, Bobby, Bobby DeNiro.

4928
02:44:18,420 --> 02:44:19,560
I'm an executive producer.

4929
02:44:19,700 --> 02:44:20,320
Did you know that?

4930
02:44:20,360 --> 02:44:20,580
Oh, yeah.

4931
02:44:20,580 --> 02:44:21,820
What up with the no agenda show?

4932
02:44:21,900 --> 02:44:22,340
Oh, really?

4933
02:44:22,480 --> 02:44:22,880
Excellent.

4934
02:44:23,560 --> 02:44:25,300
Same for associate executive producer.

4935
02:44:25,340 --> 02:44:26,560
That's how those things work.

4936
02:44:26,580 --> 02:44:27,560
And you can use them anywhere.

4937
02:44:28,040 --> 02:44:31,320
These real show business credits are recognized, including

4938
02:44:31,320 --> 02:44:33,000
imdb.com.

4939
02:44:33,000 --> 02:44:34,840
And we recommend you open up an account

4940
02:44:34,840 --> 02:44:35,040
there.

4941
02:44:35,120 --> 02:44:36,180
If you don't have one yet, you'll see

4942
02:44:36,180 --> 02:44:38,840
thousands of other no agenda producers there.

4943
02:44:38,920 --> 02:44:40,200
We love to flood the zone.

4944
02:44:40,300 --> 02:44:42,260
Thank you very much for supporting us here

4945
02:44:42,260 --> 02:44:44,720
for episode 1764.

4946
02:44:44,940 --> 02:44:46,240
Our formula is this.

4947
02:44:47,020 --> 02:44:47,740
We go out.

4948
02:44:48,200 --> 02:44:49,580
We hit people in the mouth.

4949
02:45:05,040 --> 02:45:07,120
Before we continue on our merry way, I

4950
02:45:07,120 --> 02:45:09,160
do want to play this Dave Smith.

4951
02:45:10,320 --> 02:45:12,420
OK, get closer to the microphone, though, so

4952
02:45:12,420 --> 02:45:13,180
we can all hear you.

4953
02:45:13,360 --> 02:45:14,200
I'll try to.

4954
02:45:14,420 --> 02:45:14,580
OK.

4955
02:45:15,060 --> 02:45:16,800
If there's any closer, I'd be behind it.

4956
02:45:16,880 --> 02:45:18,360
Yeah, well, that way it might work.

4957
02:45:18,800 --> 02:45:21,620
So he was on Tucker.

4958
02:45:21,900 --> 02:45:25,220
Talked bitching and moaning about Douglas Murray and

4959
02:45:25,220 --> 02:45:26,840
they went on Murray.

4960
02:45:27,420 --> 02:45:28,560
They went on and on.

4961
02:45:28,660 --> 02:45:30,440
But a couple of things came out of

4962
02:45:30,440 --> 02:45:31,640
that had nothing to do with that.

4963
02:45:31,640 --> 02:45:35,340
One was the the comment by Tucker that

4964
02:45:35,340 --> 02:45:37,720
it's possible that they're going to because there's

4965
02:45:37,720 --> 02:45:39,880
the way Smith saw it.

4966
02:45:39,940 --> 02:45:41,480
And I think Tucker, to some extent, they

4967
02:45:41,480 --> 02:45:43,780
saw the future as podcasting.

4968
02:45:46,040 --> 02:45:47,000
No kidding.

4969
02:45:47,840 --> 02:45:48,580
Wait, wait.

4970
02:45:48,600 --> 02:45:51,620
Did they say that that Adam Curry had

4971
02:45:51,620 --> 02:45:52,500
something to do with that?

4972
02:45:53,060 --> 02:45:54,820
They didn't mention your name, of course.

4973
02:45:54,960 --> 02:45:55,140
No.

4974
02:45:55,380 --> 02:45:56,000
Why would they?

4975
02:45:56,180 --> 02:45:56,340
No.

4976
02:45:56,340 --> 02:45:58,140
But the point is, is that they talked

4977
02:45:58,140 --> 02:46:01,580
about how media has when a new guy

4978
02:46:01,580 --> 02:46:04,820
comes along and exploits the media presidential candidate,

4979
02:46:04,960 --> 02:46:08,560
for example, like Roosevelt exploited radio before anybody

4980
02:46:08,560 --> 02:46:09,160
else did.

4981
02:46:09,420 --> 02:46:12,480
Kennedy did television, did the fire fireside chat.

4982
02:46:12,600 --> 02:46:13,780
Kennedy did television.

4983
02:46:14,180 --> 02:46:15,460
Trump did social media.

4984
02:46:15,460 --> 02:46:17,420
And then he got on the podcasting thing,

4985
02:46:17,500 --> 02:46:18,580
did the three hour podcast.

4986
02:46:18,660 --> 02:46:19,400
They talked about that.

4987
02:46:19,600 --> 02:46:19,860
That's right.

4988
02:46:19,980 --> 02:46:22,160
And Tucker said, oh, I think they're going

4989
02:46:22,160 --> 02:46:23,220
to crack down.

4990
02:46:23,220 --> 02:46:28,620
And I said what I think, which I

4991
02:46:28,620 --> 02:46:30,440
said to myself, what I think is I

4992
02:46:30,440 --> 02:46:32,440
still think that someday down the road to

4993
02:46:32,440 --> 02:46:34,760
be licensing or something like that, because they

4994
02:46:34,760 --> 02:46:36,280
can't let this thing go crazy.

4995
02:46:36,560 --> 02:46:38,480
Well, we have the only but the most

4996
02:46:38,480 --> 02:46:41,260
thing I thought mostly about you and podcasting

4997
02:46:41,260 --> 02:46:43,440
2.0, which means they can't crack down.

4998
02:46:43,500 --> 02:46:43,720
Correct.

4999
02:46:44,740 --> 02:46:48,320
So so to give you kudos, that's, you

5000
02:46:48,320 --> 02:46:50,940
know, minor compared to the one I thought

5001
02:46:50,940 --> 02:46:53,360
when I got this clip where they brought

5002
02:46:53,360 --> 02:46:55,780
up the fact that Smith was, you know,

5003
02:46:55,840 --> 02:46:58,680
they were maybe giving him a gig on

5004
02:46:58,680 --> 02:47:00,160
Fox as a contributor.

5005
02:47:00,440 --> 02:47:01,840
He did mention the amount of money they

5006
02:47:01,840 --> 02:47:02,240
get paid.

5007
02:47:02,360 --> 02:47:04,920
This is rando contributors on Fox make a

5008
02:47:04,920 --> 02:47:05,840
hundred K a year.

5009
02:47:05,980 --> 02:47:07,820
Whoa, that's not bad.

5010
02:47:07,960 --> 02:47:08,280
No.

5011
02:47:08,960 --> 02:47:11,060
And so they just show up and do

5012
02:47:11,060 --> 02:47:12,980
a comment, you know, there's a slow.

5013
02:47:13,100 --> 02:47:15,100
It's all the same as usual suspects.

5014
02:47:15,640 --> 02:47:18,200
But they brought this little ditty up, which

5015
02:47:18,200 --> 02:47:20,880
is something you've been asserting since day one

5016
02:47:20,880 --> 02:47:21,840
about Fox.

5017
02:47:21,920 --> 02:47:23,260
And I let it play.

5018
02:47:23,680 --> 02:47:26,820
Greg Gutfeld and Tom Shalhoub, who was hosting

5019
02:47:26,820 --> 02:47:28,380
Red Eye at the time, they started using

5020
02:47:28,380 --> 02:47:29,520
me on their Fox News shows.

5021
02:47:29,920 --> 02:47:30,840
And so it was like the first time

5022
02:47:30,840 --> 02:47:32,180
in my career I'd like started getting on

5023
02:47:32,180 --> 02:47:32,400
TV.

5024
02:47:32,880 --> 02:47:35,240
And I remember a few people at Fox

5025
02:47:35,240 --> 02:47:37,460
had told me that they were like, hey,

5026
02:47:37,620 --> 02:47:40,400
there's like some people in management are like

5027
02:47:40,400 --> 02:47:43,400
interested in you like they're they're taking, you

5028
02:47:43,400 --> 02:47:44,440
know, some interest in you.

5029
02:47:45,120 --> 02:47:46,660
And then it was kind of explains me

5030
02:47:46,660 --> 02:47:48,600
not like ever directly, but it was like,

5031
02:47:48,620 --> 02:47:50,400
you know, you're you're a little out there.

5032
02:47:50,480 --> 02:47:51,720
For Fox News.

5033
02:47:51,900 --> 02:47:54,340
And I remember at the time I was

5034
02:47:54,340 --> 02:47:55,320
broke.

5035
02:47:55,780 --> 02:47:56,960
I mean, dead broke.

5036
02:47:57,100 --> 02:47:59,000
Only on just to put a finer point

5037
02:47:59,000 --> 02:47:59,240
in that.

5038
02:47:59,300 --> 02:47:59,800
What do they mean?

5039
02:47:59,860 --> 02:48:01,680
Not in your personal life, your personal.

5040
02:48:01,720 --> 02:48:02,220
Oh, no, no, no.

5041
02:48:02,340 --> 02:48:04,020
More buttoned down than most people who are

5042
02:48:04,020 --> 02:48:04,440
at the time.

5043
02:48:04,460 --> 02:48:04,760
It wasn't.

5044
02:48:04,820 --> 02:48:05,980
This is before I was married and had

5045
02:48:05,980 --> 02:48:06,540
kids and stuff.

5046
02:48:06,640 --> 02:48:08,560
But that's what they don't care.

5047
02:48:08,660 --> 02:48:11,840
I found out pretty quickly by just doing

5048
02:48:11,840 --> 02:48:13,200
shows at Fox News and then going to

5049
02:48:13,200 --> 02:48:14,880
the bar afterward with some of the people

5050
02:48:14,880 --> 02:48:15,060
there.

5051
02:48:15,100 --> 02:48:17,120
You're like, oh, conservatism, Inc.

5052
02:48:17,140 --> 02:48:18,400
Is not exactly what you thought.

5053
02:48:18,400 --> 02:48:21,840
They're actually pretty liberal to the bar hang

5054
02:48:21,840 --> 02:48:23,260
after the show, I would say.

5055
02:48:23,460 --> 02:48:27,060
But vindicated once again, vindicated.

5056
02:48:28,000 --> 02:48:28,940
Yes, of course.

5057
02:48:29,200 --> 02:48:31,000
They're a bunch of Democrats running Fox News.

5058
02:48:31,080 --> 02:48:31,640
We know that.

5059
02:48:32,240 --> 02:48:32,480
Yeah.

5060
02:48:33,120 --> 02:48:33,560
Yeah.

5061
02:48:33,720 --> 02:48:35,540
But it is confirmed with that clip.

5062
02:48:35,600 --> 02:48:38,840
And of course, Tucker said, yeah, yeah, they're

5063
02:48:38,840 --> 02:48:40,080
a bunch of what you get.

5064
02:48:40,280 --> 02:48:41,600
Go to the bar and you'll find out

5065
02:48:41,600 --> 02:48:42,360
what they're really thinking.

5066
02:48:42,740 --> 02:48:45,240
Well, I since you brought up podcasting, I

5067
02:48:45,240 --> 02:48:46,040
have a question for you.

5068
02:48:46,040 --> 02:48:48,620
This is a industry wide question.

5069
02:48:49,380 --> 02:48:53,240
It is it is rampant throughout the PIC,

5070
02:48:53,560 --> 02:48:56,700
the podcast industrial complex, which is basically people

5071
02:48:56,700 --> 02:48:57,820
who do advertising.

5072
02:48:58,580 --> 02:49:00,480
By the way, we could switch to advertising

5073
02:49:00,480 --> 02:49:01,340
and do pretty well.

5074
02:49:01,400 --> 02:49:03,400
I'm just telling you, even with our, you

5075
02:49:03,400 --> 02:49:05,220
know, because we have a million downloads a

5076
02:49:05,220 --> 02:49:05,420
month.

5077
02:49:05,440 --> 02:49:09,920
That's a thousand CPMs.  That's not bad.

5078
02:49:11,460 --> 02:49:12,500
We could do OK.

5079
02:49:12,580 --> 02:49:13,120
I'm just saying.

5080
02:49:13,800 --> 02:49:15,340
Yeah, we don't want to do that, people.

5081
02:49:15,340 --> 02:49:16,560
No, of course I don't want to do

5082
02:49:16,560 --> 02:49:16,820
that.

5083
02:49:17,140 --> 02:49:17,960
I'd rather give up.

5084
02:49:18,080 --> 02:49:19,100
I'd rather rage quit.

5085
02:49:19,740 --> 02:49:20,440
Would you be cool?

5086
02:49:21,000 --> 02:49:22,380
Adam Curry rage quits.

5087
02:49:22,560 --> 02:49:25,240
Anyway, Adam Curry rage quits.

5088
02:49:25,500 --> 02:49:29,980
So because aging co-partner in the lurch,

5089
02:49:30,400 --> 02:49:33,880
we have a picture of you in a

5090
02:49:33,880 --> 02:49:37,900
rocking chair like he left me.

5091
02:49:37,960 --> 02:49:38,900
He stranded me.

5092
02:49:39,000 --> 02:49:40,020
I got nothing to do.

5093
02:49:40,140 --> 02:49:41,860
No one visits me nowhere to go.

5094
02:49:42,120 --> 02:49:44,660
Anyway, this is a good question for you.

5095
02:49:45,340 --> 02:49:48,300
Because of the nature of how podcast advertising

5096
02:49:48,300 --> 02:49:49,860
works, which I will say right off the

5097
02:49:49,860 --> 02:49:52,840
bat is a scam because it is.

5098
02:49:52,840 --> 02:49:56,220
It's based upon downloads and you can buy

5099
02:49:56,220 --> 02:49:56,880
downloads.

5100
02:49:57,020 --> 02:49:59,020
You can create bots that do downloads.

5101
02:49:59,140 --> 02:49:59,440
Yeah.

5102
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:01,960
You know, most of the hosting companies, they

5103
02:50:01,960 --> 02:50:05,280
all adhere to the IAB standards and they're

5104
02:50:05,280 --> 02:50:09,180
they've been verified, which cost them $50,000

5105
02:50:09,180 --> 02:50:12,000
or some crazy amount because, you know, in

5106
02:50:12,000 --> 02:50:14,200
order to be verified, which means they came,

5107
02:50:14,260 --> 02:50:15,420
we checked your logs.

5108
02:50:15,540 --> 02:50:17,020
There's no fake downloads here.

5109
02:50:17,200 --> 02:50:17,580
Whatever.

5110
02:50:18,220 --> 02:50:20,460
Of course, when Apple decided they weren't going

5111
02:50:20,460 --> 02:50:24,200
to have past episodes download automatically, everything went

5112
02:50:24,200 --> 02:50:26,000
down 20% and people had to pay

5113
02:50:26,000 --> 02:50:27,720
millions of dollars and make goods.

5114
02:50:27,820 --> 02:50:28,900
We'll just leave that by the side.

5115
02:50:29,240 --> 02:50:30,620
Downloads, not a scam, people.

5116
02:50:30,940 --> 02:50:31,040
Okay.

5117
02:50:32,480 --> 02:50:36,260
But the nature of the measurement is iffy

5118
02:50:36,260 --> 02:50:36,820
at best.

5119
02:50:37,460 --> 02:50:40,340
So what happened is and so podcasting is

5120
02:50:40,340 --> 02:50:43,180
under attack, not podcasting 2.0, but podcasting

5121
02:50:43,180 --> 02:50:47,700
itself is under attack because YouTube in particular

5122
02:50:47,700 --> 02:50:50,380
came in and said, oh, no, we're the

5123
02:50:50,380 --> 02:50:53,600
number one podcasting platform in the universe.

5124
02:50:54,320 --> 02:50:55,420
Have you heard this?

5125
02:50:55,460 --> 02:50:56,280
Have you seen the numbers?

5126
02:50:56,380 --> 02:50:57,480
Have you seen the press releases?

5127
02:50:57,740 --> 02:50:59,440
They barrage the market.

5128
02:50:59,580 --> 02:51:00,400
I'm about to find out.

5129
02:51:00,640 --> 02:51:02,500
Well, they barrage the market.

5130
02:51:03,800 --> 02:51:05,520
We have the most podcast.

5131
02:51:05,520 --> 02:51:07,880
Now, of course, they're not a podcast platform

5132
02:51:07,880 --> 02:51:11,420
because, yes, you can give them your RSS

5133
02:51:11,420 --> 02:51:13,700
feed, but they just use it to slurp

5134
02:51:13,700 --> 02:51:16,000
in your videos and that's it.

5135
02:51:16,040 --> 02:51:17,140
Or even your podcast.

5136
02:51:17,440 --> 02:51:20,600
You can't change your feed or take something

5137
02:51:20,600 --> 02:51:21,080
out.

5138
02:51:21,300 --> 02:51:22,360
You know, no, it's ingested.

5139
02:51:22,500 --> 02:51:22,840
It's done.

5140
02:51:23,060 --> 02:51:25,380
And you can mark your YouTube channel as

5141
02:51:25,380 --> 02:51:26,060
a podcast.

5142
02:51:27,740 --> 02:51:30,980
Now, advertisers love this because, oh, I can

5143
02:51:30,980 --> 02:51:34,060
advertise on podcasts and I can get real

5144
02:51:34,060 --> 02:51:34,560
numbers.

5145
02:51:35,220 --> 02:51:39,020
Of course, YouTube has very detailed statistics and

5146
02:51:39,020 --> 02:51:40,800
they can say, well, you got a million

5147
02:51:40,800 --> 02:51:41,480
plays.

5148
02:51:41,980 --> 02:51:42,600
What is a play?

5149
02:51:42,740 --> 02:51:44,280
Well, it's 60 seconds.

5150
02:51:44,640 --> 02:51:47,000
It's not even it's like 20 seconds of

5151
02:51:47,000 --> 02:51:47,720
someone watching.

5152
02:51:47,840 --> 02:51:48,720
But OK, that's fine.

5153
02:51:48,980 --> 02:51:50,640
That's a view or that's a play.

5154
02:51:51,420 --> 02:51:55,780
So the advertising industrial complex for podcasting started

5155
02:51:55,780 --> 02:51:58,900
to call videos on YouTube podcasts.

5156
02:52:00,320 --> 02:52:01,520
Do you see the problem here?

5157
02:52:04,950 --> 02:52:07,410
Well, the problem is every the whole thing

5158
02:52:07,410 --> 02:52:08,090
is a scam.

5159
02:52:08,510 --> 02:52:09,070
Right.

5160
02:52:09,190 --> 02:52:11,610
But so when you don't have to me,

5161
02:52:12,170 --> 02:52:13,570
you have an RSS feed.

5162
02:52:13,850 --> 02:52:14,730
That's a podcast.

5163
02:52:14,990 --> 02:52:17,510
You host it at a hosting company or

5164
02:52:17,510 --> 02:52:18,930
we happen to have void zero.

5165
02:52:19,390 --> 02:52:20,410
We hosted ourselves.

5166
02:52:20,750 --> 02:52:21,710
We're in control.

5167
02:52:22,110 --> 02:52:26,510
YouTube can't you can even upload audio with

5168
02:52:26,510 --> 02:52:27,850
a picture on it or whatever.

5169
02:52:28,090 --> 02:52:29,290
But that's not a podcast.

5170
02:52:29,370 --> 02:52:30,910
A podcast is independent.

5171
02:52:31,470 --> 02:52:33,110
It's just it's decentralized.

5172
02:52:33,110 --> 02:52:34,110
It's distributed.

5173
02:52:34,870 --> 02:52:37,970
No government, no Silicon Valley company can take

5174
02:52:37,970 --> 02:52:40,710
you down even if Apple decides, which they've

5175
02:52:40,710 --> 02:52:41,410
done in the past.

5176
02:52:41,710 --> 02:52:43,410
They don't want your podcast on the on

5177
02:52:43,410 --> 02:52:44,630
the Apple podcast apps.

5178
02:52:44,670 --> 02:52:45,650
They do it all the time.

5179
02:52:46,510 --> 02:52:48,930
Spotify deletes episodes all the time.

5180
02:52:50,530 --> 02:52:51,770
That can't happen.

5181
02:52:51,870 --> 02:52:53,250
And that to me is a podcast.

5182
02:52:53,530 --> 02:52:55,930
You have your RSS feed and it's an

5183
02:52:55,930 --> 02:52:56,910
independent thing.

5184
02:52:57,770 --> 02:52:59,810
Do you do you have an opinion on

5185
02:52:59,810 --> 02:53:00,030
this?

5186
02:53:00,110 --> 02:53:02,610
Can you tell me what is a podcast?

5187
02:53:02,610 --> 02:53:06,090
If someone said what's a podcast, how does

5188
02:53:06,090 --> 02:53:06,550
John C.

5189
02:53:06,630 --> 02:53:07,730
Dvorak define that?

5190
02:53:08,790 --> 02:53:10,850
I would say a podcast is an independently

5191
02:53:10,850 --> 02:53:16,330
produced audio product that might have a video

5192
02:53:16,330 --> 02:53:18,970
component, but it's basically an audio product that's

5193
02:53:18,970 --> 02:53:22,750
distributed through RSS to various mechanisms.

5194
02:53:23,150 --> 02:53:25,470
And it can be anything from A to

5195
02:53:25,470 --> 02:53:27,930
Z in terms of how it's structured or

5196
02:53:27,930 --> 02:53:30,390
how it exists or what it's about.

5197
02:53:30,390 --> 02:53:31,830
Thank you.

5198
02:53:33,350 --> 02:53:34,430
I'm with you on that.

5199
02:53:35,330 --> 02:53:38,310
Let's listen to Bill O'Reilly's definition of

5200
02:53:38,310 --> 02:53:39,770
what a podcast is.

5201
02:53:40,250 --> 02:53:41,390
I drives me crazy.

5202
02:53:42,030 --> 02:53:43,810
People go, oh, I watch your podcast on

5203
02:53:43,810 --> 02:53:44,390
a podcast.

5204
02:53:45,230 --> 02:53:47,910
Look, if you guy has tattoos and dirty

5205
02:53:47,910 --> 02:53:49,410
sneakers, it's a podcast.

5206
02:53:49,590 --> 02:53:52,990
If he's dressed as dapper as I dress,

5207
02:53:53,410 --> 02:53:54,390
it's a broadcast.

5208
02:53:55,970 --> 02:53:56,930
There you go.

5209
02:53:57,410 --> 02:53:59,270
If you have dirty, if you have dirty

5210
02:53:59,270 --> 02:54:01,510
sneakers and tattoos, then it's a podcast.

5211
02:54:02,630 --> 02:54:04,970
If you're dressed like Bill O'Reilly, it's

5212
02:54:04,970 --> 02:54:05,550
a broadcast.

5213
02:54:08,060 --> 02:54:10,180
He says this on his podcast.

5214
02:54:10,780 --> 02:54:12,580
No, it's he refuses.

5215
02:54:12,940 --> 02:54:15,200
He's moving to netcast next, I hear.

5216
02:54:15,220 --> 02:54:17,720
Yeah, I'm surprised he doesn't do netcast, which

5217
02:54:17,720 --> 02:54:21,220
was another denial.

5218
02:54:21,980 --> 02:54:22,480
All right.

5219
02:54:22,660 --> 02:54:24,000
Hey, the saga continues.

5220
02:54:24,220 --> 02:54:25,840
So that was a shaggy dog story.

5221
02:54:26,060 --> 02:54:27,220
It was a shaggy dog story.

5222
02:54:27,380 --> 02:54:28,060
It was indeed.

5223
02:54:28,560 --> 02:54:30,380
But I'm glad that you have a better

5224
02:54:30,380 --> 02:54:32,360
definition of what a podcast is than Bill

5225
02:54:32,360 --> 02:54:32,880
O'Reilly.

5226
02:54:33,220 --> 02:54:34,360
Well, anybody would.

5227
02:54:34,580 --> 02:54:35,440
Anybody would, yes.

5228
02:54:36,200 --> 02:54:37,460
So the scam continues.

5229
02:54:37,940 --> 02:54:41,440
They continue to scam the American public and

5230
02:54:41,440 --> 02:54:43,420
everyone's in on it.

5231
02:54:43,480 --> 02:54:45,920
Oh, man, it's falling apart.

5232
02:54:46,020 --> 02:54:46,940
It's dangerous to fly.

5233
02:54:47,120 --> 02:54:48,300
Don't go to New Jersey.

5234
02:54:48,720 --> 02:54:51,300
Happening today, the FAA will continue discussions with

5235
02:54:51,300 --> 02:54:54,140
six major airlines about the ongoing delays at

5236
02:54:54,140 --> 02:54:55,920
Newark Liberty International Airport.

5237
02:54:55,920 --> 02:54:57,820
The agency wants to reduce the number of

5238
02:54:57,820 --> 02:54:59,680
flights at the airport in North Jersey.

5239
02:54:59,980 --> 02:55:02,280
Meanwhile, we're learning new information about the two

5240
02:55:02,280 --> 02:55:04,400
radar outages in the last two and a

5241
02:55:04,400 --> 02:55:06,700
half weeks at a Philadelphia facility that manages

5242
02:55:06,700 --> 02:55:07,700
flights for Newark.

5243
02:55:08,060 --> 02:55:10,340
During that time, air traffic control could not

5244
02:55:10,340 --> 02:55:11,860
see or talk with planes.

5245
02:55:12,300 --> 02:55:14,720
The FAA explained on Capitol Hill yesterday that

5246
02:55:14,720 --> 02:55:17,260
the primary and backup lines both failed.

5247
02:55:17,720 --> 02:55:19,500
The agency says it is now working to

5248
02:55:19,500 --> 02:55:20,780
add a third line.

5249
02:55:22,320 --> 02:55:25,720
Again, our air traffic controllers who are in

5250
02:55:25,720 --> 02:55:29,880
this grand Gitmo nation all say that happens

5251
02:55:29,880 --> 02:55:30,480
all the time.

5252
02:55:31,560 --> 02:55:34,080
And adding another one of these lines to

5253
02:55:34,080 --> 02:55:35,840
communicate with the radios is not going to

5254
02:55:35,840 --> 02:55:35,960
help.

5255
02:55:36,060 --> 02:55:37,620
We just need a whole different system.

5256
02:55:37,740 --> 02:55:38,800
But they're really going to go out.

5257
02:55:38,860 --> 02:55:40,700
It's going to be billions and it will

5258
02:55:40,700 --> 02:55:41,840
take forever to implement.

5259
02:55:42,140 --> 02:55:44,480
And this is just like the drone story

5260
02:55:44,480 --> 02:55:47,400
or just like any other story that hypes

5261
02:55:47,400 --> 02:55:48,940
the media and scares everybody.

5262
02:55:48,940 --> 02:55:50,540
Oh, they can't see us on the radar.

5263
02:55:50,680 --> 02:55:51,320
We're all going to die.

5264
02:55:51,440 --> 02:55:52,200
Hasn't happened yet.

5265
02:55:53,740 --> 02:55:56,820
And as predicted, the blame goes to the

5266
02:55:56,820 --> 02:55:59,440
previous administration, specifically Pete Buttigieg.

5267
02:55:59,620 --> 02:56:02,060
So I was all set before we had

5268
02:56:02,060 --> 02:56:04,420
the rigged election to give out a brand

5269
02:56:04,420 --> 02:56:07,480
new gorgeous system to one company that was

5270
02:56:07,480 --> 02:56:08,640
going to do it all thing.

5271
02:56:08,700 --> 02:56:10,060
One of the best companies in the world

5272
02:56:10,060 --> 02:56:10,940
that you know very well.

5273
02:56:10,960 --> 02:56:12,060
You know, there are three or four of

5274
02:56:12,060 --> 02:56:12,640
them that do it.

5275
02:56:13,440 --> 02:56:17,100
And when they took over, Buttigieg has no

5276
02:56:17,100 --> 02:56:17,460
clue.

5277
02:56:17,460 --> 02:56:18,980
You know, he drives to work on his

5278
02:56:18,980 --> 02:56:21,420
bicycle with his with his in all fairness

5279
02:56:21,420 --> 02:56:22,960
with his husband on the back, which is

5280
02:56:22,960 --> 02:56:24,300
a nice loving relationship.

5281
02:56:25,240 --> 02:56:26,980
But he didn't have a clue.

5282
02:56:27,320 --> 02:56:29,040
This guy didn't have a clue.

5283
02:56:29,080 --> 02:56:31,300
As predicted, blame it on Buttigieg.

5284
02:56:31,960 --> 02:56:33,720
I'm glad you got that clip because I

5285
02:56:33,720 --> 02:56:34,760
saw that clip.

5286
02:56:35,080 --> 02:56:35,700
It's old.

5287
02:56:35,920 --> 02:56:36,480
It's great.

5288
02:56:36,760 --> 02:56:37,560
It's great.

5289
02:56:37,700 --> 02:56:38,700
But it's so funny.

5290
02:56:38,780 --> 02:56:41,680
This is his bicycle with his husband.

5291
02:56:41,900 --> 02:56:42,460
It's hilarious.

5292
02:56:42,680 --> 02:56:43,280
It's hilarious.

5293
02:56:44,940 --> 02:56:46,440
He never stops.

5294
02:56:46,540 --> 02:56:47,020
He doesn't.

5295
02:56:47,640 --> 02:56:52,500
Back to the kind of the medical industry.

5296
02:56:52,620 --> 02:56:53,880
Another huge controversy.

5297
02:56:54,200 --> 02:56:56,020
This is the controversy that we've been tracking

5298
02:56:56,020 --> 02:56:57,820
with Casey Means.

5299
02:56:58,140 --> 02:56:59,700
You know, we can't have her as Surgeon

5300
02:56:59,700 --> 02:57:00,060
General.

5301
02:57:00,160 --> 02:57:01,320
The meaningless post.

5302
02:57:02,120 --> 02:57:02,720
But OK.

5303
02:57:02,860 --> 02:57:05,040
Oh, no, we can't have her because she's

5304
02:57:05,040 --> 02:57:07,020
a shill for big pharma with her brother.

5305
02:57:07,180 --> 02:57:07,960
And it's no good.

5306
02:57:08,040 --> 02:57:09,500
And NPR investigated.

5307
02:57:09,820 --> 02:57:12,000
President Trump has a new pick for U

5308
02:57:12,000 --> 02:57:12,900
.S. Surgeon General.

5309
02:57:13,160 --> 02:57:16,560
He's tapped wellness influencer Dr. Casey Means.

5310
02:57:16,560 --> 02:57:18,820
That's in place of his original.

5311
02:57:19,000 --> 02:57:20,780
We need to be wellness influencers.

5312
02:57:20,940 --> 02:57:22,140
Maybe that's a gig for us.

5313
02:57:22,200 --> 02:57:22,600
What do you think?

5314
02:57:22,760 --> 02:57:24,540
Well, I mean, you're living a long time.

5315
02:57:25,260 --> 02:57:27,180
We just say, well, this is how we

5316
02:57:27,180 --> 02:57:27,400
live.

5317
02:57:27,460 --> 02:57:29,360
This is how we've stayed alive so long.

5318
02:57:29,400 --> 02:57:30,560
Don't you think that's a good gig?

5319
02:57:30,660 --> 02:57:31,680
Wellness influencer?

5320
02:57:32,120 --> 02:57:33,340
Yeah, and wine reviewer.

5321
02:57:33,660 --> 02:57:34,020
Choice.

5322
02:57:34,300 --> 02:57:37,380
Former Fox News contributor Dr. Jeanette Neshwat.

5323
02:57:38,000 --> 02:57:40,460
NPR's Will Stone is here with the details.

5324
02:57:40,640 --> 02:57:41,080
Hi, Will.

5325
02:57:41,520 --> 02:57:42,080
Hey there.

5326
02:57:42,340 --> 02:57:42,760
Hey there.

5327
02:57:42,820 --> 02:57:45,140
Why did Trump drop his first pick for

5328
02:57:45,140 --> 02:57:45,780
Surgeon General?

5329
02:57:46,560 --> 02:57:48,940
So no official statement from Trump or the

5330
02:57:48,940 --> 02:57:49,900
White House on that.

5331
02:57:50,000 --> 02:57:51,780
But it seems there may have been a

5332
02:57:51,780 --> 02:57:53,240
few issues at play here.

5333
02:57:53,380 --> 02:57:56,420
So first, Neshwat had come under scrutiny recently

5334
02:57:56,420 --> 02:58:00,200
for misrepresenting her medical credentials, including where she

5335
02:58:00,200 --> 02:58:01,280
went to medical school.

5336
02:58:01,460 --> 02:58:03,960
This was revealed by an independent reporter, Anthony

5337
02:58:03,960 --> 02:58:06,060
Clark, and has been matched by other outlets,

5338
02:58:06,380 --> 02:58:09,140
though NPR has not independently confirmed the reporting.

5339
02:58:09,700 --> 02:58:11,740
At the same time, Neshwat was also facing

5340
02:58:11,740 --> 02:58:14,340
some strong opposition from those on the right.

5341
02:58:14,340 --> 02:58:16,060
And in Secretary Robert F.

5342
02:58:16,160 --> 02:58:19,560
Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again or Maha

5343
02:58:19,560 --> 02:58:22,800
movement, one reason was her support for COVID

5344
02:58:22,800 --> 02:58:24,980
policies like masking and vaccines.

5345
02:58:25,480 --> 02:58:27,660
So whatever the rationale, Trump took to social

5346
02:58:27,660 --> 02:58:30,440
media this week and announced he tapped Dr.

5347
02:58:30,640 --> 02:58:34,220
Casey Means instead, saying she has, quote, impeccable

5348
02:58:34,220 --> 02:58:35,300
Maha credentials.

5349
02:58:36,320 --> 02:58:38,720
Well, we're about to find out about those.

5350
02:58:38,800 --> 02:58:41,060
By the way, the three stooges were far

5351
02:58:41,060 --> 02:58:42,440
ahead of their time with Maha.

5352
02:58:42,440 --> 02:58:43,320
Maha.

5353
02:58:45,220 --> 02:58:46,660
Yeah, we continue.

5354
02:58:46,740 --> 02:58:48,800
Well, tell us more about Casey Means.

5355
02:58:48,920 --> 02:58:49,520
Who is she?

5356
02:58:50,240 --> 02:58:53,680
Yeah, she's a wellness influencer, author, and entrepreneur.

5357
02:58:53,980 --> 02:58:56,720
She has a company that sells glucose monitoring

5358
02:58:56,720 --> 02:58:57,980
devices to consumers.

5359
02:58:58,560 --> 02:59:00,060
Her background is in medicine.

5360
02:59:00,220 --> 02:59:02,140
She went to Stanford Medical School and went

5361
02:59:02,140 --> 02:59:04,720
on to surgical residency, but she dropped out

5362
02:59:04,720 --> 02:59:06,180
pretty far along in the program.

5363
02:59:06,640 --> 02:59:08,600
Her book is kind of a self-help

5364
02:59:08,600 --> 02:59:09,560
diet type of book.

5365
02:59:09,560 --> 02:59:12,520
It really catapulted her into the online wellness

5366
02:59:12,520 --> 02:59:12,880
space.

5367
02:59:13,360 --> 02:59:14,700
She's been on big podcasts.

5368
02:59:15,400 --> 02:59:18,100
She appeared at a highly publicized congressional roundtable

5369
02:59:18,100 --> 02:59:21,220
on nutrition last year that featured Secretary Kennedy

5370
02:59:21,220 --> 02:59:23,480
and other big names in the Maha world.

5371
02:59:24,040 --> 02:59:26,480
But her resume is definitely a problem for

5372
02:59:26,480 --> 02:59:28,380
many in medicine and public health.

5373
02:59:28,920 --> 02:59:30,780
She did have a practice in Oregon, but

5374
02:59:30,780 --> 02:59:33,740
again, never completed her residency, and she doesn't

5375
02:59:33,740 --> 02:59:35,720
have an active medical license right now.

5376
02:59:36,100 --> 02:59:38,120
I called up Dr. Richard Carmona to get

5377
02:59:38,120 --> 02:59:39,060
his take on this.

5378
02:59:39,060 --> 02:59:41,400
Carmona was the surgeon general under George W.

5379
02:59:41,480 --> 02:59:41,720
Bush.

5380
02:59:42,240 --> 02:59:45,140
Every previous surgeon general, when you look, they've

5381
02:59:45,140 --> 02:59:45,980
got the license.

5382
02:59:46,160 --> 02:59:47,160
They've got the residency.

5383
02:59:47,400 --> 02:59:50,160
They have had at least some leadership ability

5384
02:59:50,160 --> 02:59:52,340
that's scalable, and we don't see any of

5385
02:59:52,340 --> 02:59:52,780
that here.

5386
02:59:52,920 --> 02:59:55,360
I think that our nation deserves better.

5387
02:59:56,800 --> 02:59:58,520
I think this is so great.

5388
02:59:58,920 --> 03:00:02,800
Can you name three former surgeon generals?

5389
03:00:03,620 --> 03:00:04,560
I can name Coop.

5390
03:00:04,820 --> 03:00:05,460
That's one.

5391
03:00:06,060 --> 03:00:06,840
The bearded guy.

5392
03:00:06,840 --> 03:00:08,880
I can add this last guy.

5393
03:00:09,020 --> 03:00:11,180
The weird Indian character.

5394
03:00:11,180 --> 03:00:11,860
You can't name him.

5395
03:00:12,000 --> 03:00:12,700
You can't name him.

5396
03:00:13,000 --> 03:00:15,060
Navish Shreem Shreem.

5397
03:00:15,400 --> 03:00:16,340
Navish Navidat.

5398
03:00:18,300 --> 03:00:20,860
No, you can't, because they're not.

5399
03:00:20,960 --> 03:00:22,540
They're not just not that important.

5400
03:00:22,860 --> 03:00:24,100
Sorry to say.

5401
03:00:25,440 --> 03:00:27,200
And Coop said, don't smoke.

5402
03:00:27,480 --> 03:00:28,560
And it didn't stop me.

5403
03:00:29,080 --> 03:00:32,400
How are her supporters responding to this?

5404
03:00:33,260 --> 03:00:35,540
Well, Secretary Kennedy is doubling down on his

5405
03:00:35,540 --> 03:00:35,920
support.

5406
03:00:35,920 --> 03:00:38,100
He's claiming Dr. Means will be the greatest

5407
03:00:38,100 --> 03:00:40,100
surgeon general in American history.

5408
03:00:40,500 --> 03:00:43,440
It's also worth noting her brother, Callie Means,

5409
03:00:43,540 --> 03:00:47,300
is a prominent advisor

5410
03:00:47,300 --> 03:00:57,700
to

5411
03:00:57,700 --> 03:00:58,040
Kennedy.

5412
03:00:58,600 --> 03:01:00,620
A lot of her messaging aligns with the

5413
03:01:00,620 --> 03:01:01,000
secretary.

5414
03:01:01,260 --> 03:01:03,760
She rails against the health care industry, big

5415
03:01:03,760 --> 03:01:04,960
food and big pharma.

5416
03:01:04,960 --> 03:01:07,560
Talks a lot about nutrition and lifestyle.

5417
03:01:07,740 --> 03:01:10,280
Here's what Kennedy said on Fox News just

5418
03:01:10,280 --> 03:01:11,100
the other day.

5419
03:01:11,460 --> 03:01:14,040
Casey Means, we felt, was the best person

5420
03:01:14,040 --> 03:01:17,400
to really bring the vision of Maha to

5421
03:01:17,400 --> 03:01:18,460
the American public.

5422
03:01:18,640 --> 03:01:21,680
She has a unique capacity to articulate it.

5423
03:01:22,020 --> 03:01:25,220
Now, Casey Means has made statements casting doubt

5424
03:01:25,220 --> 03:01:27,580
on the safety of certain vaccines and the

5425
03:01:27,580 --> 03:01:28,320
vaccine schedule.

5426
03:01:28,740 --> 03:01:30,900
She's also endorsed things like raw milk, similar

5427
03:01:30,900 --> 03:01:31,240
to Kennedy.

5428
03:01:31,240 --> 03:01:34,500
All of this is concerning to experts in

5429
03:01:34,500 --> 03:01:35,120
public health.

5430
03:01:35,440 --> 03:01:38,660
But some in the Kennedy coalition are not

5431
03:01:38,660 --> 03:01:39,540
happy with the pick.

5432
03:01:39,940 --> 03:01:42,760
For example, Kennedy's former running mate, Nicole Shanahan,

5433
03:01:42,920 --> 03:01:45,780
has criticized the choice heavily, as have others.

5434
03:01:45,900 --> 03:01:47,480
And some of the pushback has to do

5435
03:01:47,480 --> 03:01:49,920
with her vaccine stance, that she has not

5436
03:01:49,920 --> 03:01:53,380
come out strongly enough against vaccines, especially the

5437
03:01:53,380 --> 03:01:54,060
COVID shots.

5438
03:01:54,580 --> 03:01:57,500
So this choice is revealing, I'd say, some

5439
03:01:57,500 --> 03:01:59,380
fractures in the Maha coalition.

5440
03:01:59,380 --> 03:02:02,500
And that, plus concerns about her lack of

5441
03:02:02,500 --> 03:02:05,120
experience, could derail her nomination.

5442
03:02:05,300 --> 03:02:05,700
We'll see.

5443
03:02:06,340 --> 03:02:07,840
That's NPR's Will Stone.

5444
03:02:07,980 --> 03:02:09,520
Thank you so much for talking with us.

5445
03:02:09,820 --> 03:02:10,200
Thank you.

5446
03:02:10,380 --> 03:02:12,860
Glad that NPR finally got the story.

5447
03:02:13,000 --> 03:02:13,360
Yes.

5448
03:02:13,640 --> 03:02:15,260
Yes, there's a lot of problem because she

5449
03:02:15,260 --> 03:02:18,200
has not come out strongly enough against the

5450
03:02:18,200 --> 03:02:19,180
COVID shot.

5451
03:02:20,140 --> 03:02:21,060
And this is the criticism.

5452
03:02:21,060 --> 03:02:23,220
And of course, I think Kelly, the last

5453
03:02:23,220 --> 03:02:24,300
show we played, Kelly.

5454
03:02:27,480 --> 03:02:27,900
That's right.

5455
03:02:27,900 --> 03:02:31,380
Megyn Kelly's clip where she, I think, you

5456
03:02:31,380 --> 03:02:33,540
know, does a reasonable job of defending the

5457
03:02:33,540 --> 03:02:35,980
woman and says that you can't come out

5458
03:02:35,980 --> 03:02:38,340
as a big anti-COVID shot person and

5459
03:02:38,340 --> 03:02:39,640
expect to get.

5460
03:02:39,740 --> 03:02:39,960
No.

5461
03:02:40,560 --> 03:02:41,040
Confirmed.

5462
03:02:41,140 --> 03:02:43,440
But because the half of Congress is bought

5463
03:02:43,440 --> 03:02:45,320
and paid for by the pharma companies, and

5464
03:02:45,320 --> 03:02:48,120
they don't want to, they could, as far

5465
03:02:48,120 --> 03:02:50,140
as they're concerned, fax is the way to

5466
03:02:50,140 --> 03:02:50,320
go.

5467
03:02:50,600 --> 03:02:52,060
Get vaccinated for everything.

5468
03:02:52,160 --> 03:02:53,740
Get 86 when you're a little baby.

5469
03:02:54,120 --> 03:02:56,320
But this has been going on for a

5470
03:02:56,320 --> 03:02:56,780
long time.

5471
03:02:56,780 --> 03:02:59,020
Before she was even in play for Surgeon

5472
03:02:59,020 --> 03:03:01,680
General, she and her brother had been accused

5473
03:03:01,680 --> 03:03:03,840
of being shills coming out of nowhere.

5474
03:03:03,980 --> 03:03:05,980
All of a sudden, they're on all the

5475
03:03:05,980 --> 03:03:07,080
big podcasts.

5476
03:03:07,340 --> 03:03:09,120
I don't think you're anything until you've come

5477
03:03:09,120 --> 03:03:10,020
on the No Agenda Show.

5478
03:03:10,080 --> 03:03:10,960
Oh, wait, we don't have any guests.

5479
03:03:13,640 --> 03:03:17,060
And they would not denounce the COVID vaccine.

5480
03:03:17,440 --> 03:03:18,340
And that is the problem.

5481
03:03:18,500 --> 03:03:23,020
And Maha is going uh-uh to her.

5482
03:03:23,540 --> 03:03:25,460
So it'll be interesting to see how this

5483
03:03:25,460 --> 03:03:26,500
confirmation goes.

5484
03:03:27,200 --> 03:03:30,420
In the meantime, this was very peculiar this

5485
03:03:30,420 --> 03:03:32,300
morning that I saw on Fox News when

5486
03:03:32,300 --> 03:03:33,620
it comes to vaccinations.

5487
03:03:34,300 --> 03:03:37,140
And they brought out Tucker Carlson's old doctor

5488
03:03:37,140 --> 03:03:37,420
pal.

5489
03:03:37,580 --> 03:03:38,140
Remember that guy?

5490
03:03:38,580 --> 03:03:39,280
The old dude?

5491
03:03:40,720 --> 03:03:43,240
Whenever Tucker was on Fox, yeah, he had

5492
03:03:43,240 --> 03:03:44,240
this one doctor.

5493
03:03:44,560 --> 03:03:46,200
And it was the same guy over and

5494
03:03:46,200 --> 03:03:46,400
over.

5495
03:03:46,460 --> 03:03:47,440
We always made fun of him.

5496
03:03:47,480 --> 03:03:48,100
Usual suspects.

5497
03:03:48,340 --> 03:03:48,780
That's what they do.

5498
03:03:48,800 --> 03:03:49,640
Usual suspects.

5499
03:03:49,900 --> 03:03:50,600
And here's the news.

5500
03:03:50,840 --> 03:03:54,480
HHS Secretary R.F.K. Jr. $500 million

5501
03:03:54,480 --> 03:03:57,180
from COVID-19 projects with the goal of

5502
03:03:57,180 --> 03:04:00,220
a universal vaccine to protect against multiple strains

5503
03:04:00,220 --> 03:04:01,800
of a virus at once.

5504
03:04:01,880 --> 03:04:04,100
Fox News Senior Medical Analyst Dr. Mark Siegel

5505
03:04:04,100 --> 03:04:05,540
is here to tell us all about this.

5506
03:04:05,860 --> 03:04:08,460
This would be getting one shot for the

5507
03:04:08,460 --> 03:04:10,220
flu that could maybe last 10 years.

5508
03:04:10,500 --> 03:04:12,280
How long have we heard this story?

5509
03:04:12,800 --> 03:04:13,480
One shot.

5510
03:04:13,620 --> 03:04:14,940
Only one.

5511
03:04:15,040 --> 03:04:15,660
One and done.

5512
03:04:15,800 --> 03:04:17,180
It's good to go for the flu.

5513
03:04:17,280 --> 03:04:18,800
Never get another one for the rest of

5514
03:04:18,800 --> 03:04:19,300
your life.

5515
03:04:19,300 --> 03:04:21,960
I'm surprised we haven't got clips on this

5516
03:04:21,960 --> 03:04:23,360
from 10 years ago.

5517
03:04:23,460 --> 03:04:24,140
We probably do.

5518
03:04:24,180 --> 03:04:25,380
I think it's going to start with the

5519
03:04:25,380 --> 03:04:25,640
flu.

5520
03:04:25,880 --> 03:04:27,140
And if we get there with the flu,

5521
03:04:27,240 --> 03:04:28,900
maybe we can broaden it to more shots.

5522
03:04:29,000 --> 03:04:30,840
The whole idea is that you get a

5523
03:04:30,840 --> 03:04:32,260
different flu shot every year.

5524
03:04:32,300 --> 03:04:32,540
Right.

5525
03:04:32,640 --> 03:04:33,920
Or we did that with COVID.

5526
03:04:34,080 --> 03:04:36,360
So it's because we look at the virus

5527
03:04:36,360 --> 03:04:37,540
that enters the cell.

5528
03:04:37,620 --> 03:04:38,600
Only that protein.

5529
03:04:38,820 --> 03:04:40,500
Just that protein that gets it into the

5530
03:04:40,500 --> 03:04:40,780
cell.

5531
03:04:40,960 --> 03:04:42,780
And it causes a lot of problems and

5532
03:04:42,780 --> 03:04:43,480
a lot of changes.

5533
03:04:43,580 --> 03:04:44,840
And you have to change the shot all

5534
03:04:44,840 --> 03:04:45,100
the time.

5535
03:04:45,120 --> 03:04:46,460
And it doesn't always work with flu.

5536
03:04:46,460 --> 03:04:49,900
So now, President Trump and RFK are bringing

5537
03:04:49,900 --> 03:04:53,140
into place Jeffrey Taubenberger, who's the number one

5538
03:04:53,140 --> 03:04:55,380
flu researcher in the world, in my opinion.

5539
03:04:55,580 --> 03:04:58,020
Very excited about this guy, Taubenberger.

5540
03:04:58,160 --> 03:05:00,020
He's now the head of the National Institute

5541
03:05:00,020 --> 03:05:02,400
of Allergy Infectious Diseases, which is the job

5542
03:05:02,400 --> 03:05:03,640
that Fauci had.

5543
03:05:03,860 --> 03:05:04,980
And you know who this guy is?

5544
03:05:05,140 --> 03:05:08,180
He went into the tundra in Alaska and

5545
03:05:08,180 --> 03:05:09,560
discovered the Spanish flu.

5546
03:05:09,840 --> 03:05:11,440
That's how amazing he is.

5547
03:05:11,640 --> 03:05:11,820
Amazing.

5548
03:05:11,820 --> 03:05:13,440
And he's been working on flu vaccines for

5549
03:05:13,440 --> 03:05:14,220
a really long time.

5550
03:05:14,220 --> 03:05:16,060
You already nailed it, which is you try

5551
03:05:16,060 --> 03:05:18,720
to get into the shot different proteins.

5552
03:05:18,920 --> 03:05:21,260
So you get one response that will work

5553
03:05:21,260 --> 03:05:22,260
for all flu.

5554
03:05:22,400 --> 03:05:23,480
We got to get there.

5555
03:05:23,560 --> 03:05:24,280
We got to get great.

5556
03:05:24,380 --> 03:05:25,140
Then you don't have to get a shot

5557
03:05:25,140 --> 03:05:25,720
every year.

5558
03:05:25,820 --> 03:05:26,200
Absolutely.

5559
03:05:26,360 --> 03:05:26,700
Absolutely.

5560
03:05:26,800 --> 03:05:26,980
Great.

5561
03:05:27,060 --> 03:05:27,620
Great program.

5562
03:05:27,860 --> 03:05:28,540
Great program.

5563
03:05:30,810 --> 03:05:32,130
I'm not for this.

5564
03:05:32,610 --> 03:05:34,510
I don't think this is a good idea.

5565
03:05:34,550 --> 03:05:36,330
Well, the vaccine companies aren't for it either.

5566
03:05:36,550 --> 03:05:38,490
Obviously, that's why it's never going to happen.

5567
03:05:38,670 --> 03:05:39,130
That's true.

5568
03:05:39,290 --> 03:05:39,750
That's not good.

5569
03:05:39,750 --> 03:05:41,430
Why would you want that when you can

5570
03:05:41,430 --> 03:05:43,870
give a shot every year, every year?

5571
03:05:43,870 --> 03:05:45,930
Could be dog crap in this shot.

5572
03:05:45,990 --> 03:05:46,530
Who cares?

5573
03:05:47,130 --> 03:05:49,070
You're not liable for anything.

5574
03:05:49,210 --> 03:05:52,350
So you just manufacture could be distilled water.

5575
03:05:52,490 --> 03:05:53,950
Shot, shot, shot, shot.

5576
03:05:54,090 --> 03:05:56,190
Do you think this is free here at

5577
03:05:56,190 --> 03:05:56,710
the pharmacy?

5578
03:05:57,010 --> 03:06:00,850
Do you think this is Robert Kennedy Jr.?

5579
03:06:00,850 --> 03:06:03,330
You think he's just like, go over here,

5580
03:06:03,410 --> 03:06:04,430
work on that for a while?

5581
03:06:04,510 --> 03:06:05,390
Is that what this is?

5582
03:06:05,910 --> 03:06:06,430
Could be.

5583
03:06:06,670 --> 03:06:07,290
Yeah, possible.

5584
03:06:07,450 --> 03:06:07,570
All right.

5585
03:06:07,570 --> 03:06:09,350
Last thing I have is about fluoride.

5586
03:06:10,170 --> 03:06:12,530
Because, of course, and this is, I think,

5587
03:06:12,550 --> 03:06:13,410
a very good thing.

5588
03:06:14,370 --> 03:06:17,270
Bobby has said, we've got to stop this.

5589
03:06:17,310 --> 03:06:19,670
States everywhere are stopping fluoridating their water.

5590
03:06:19,770 --> 03:06:21,270
Should have happened decades ago.

5591
03:06:21,770 --> 03:06:23,930
But the pharma industry is not taking this

5592
03:06:23,930 --> 03:06:27,510
lightly because, oh, no, it's bad.

5593
03:06:27,570 --> 03:06:28,070
It's really bad.

5594
03:06:28,190 --> 03:06:28,490
And what?

5595
03:06:28,750 --> 03:06:29,230
Fluoride tablets?

5596
03:06:29,310 --> 03:06:29,910
No, it's bad.

5597
03:06:30,210 --> 03:06:32,210
In today's health watch, the FDA is getting

5598
03:06:32,210 --> 03:06:34,910
ready to take prescription fluoride drops and tablets

5599
03:06:34,910 --> 03:06:36,210
for kids off the market.

5600
03:06:36,770 --> 03:06:38,970
So this comes as Health Secretary Robert F.

5601
03:06:39,050 --> 03:06:41,550
Kennedy fights to remove fluoride from our drinking

5602
03:06:41,550 --> 03:06:41,890
water.

5603
03:06:41,890 --> 03:06:43,990
Let's bring in CBS News medical contributor.

5604
03:06:44,250 --> 03:06:45,270
That's Dr. Selene Gounder.

5605
03:06:45,630 --> 03:06:45,810
Yes.

5606
03:06:46,110 --> 03:06:47,610
Editor-at-large for public health at KFF

5607
03:06:47,610 --> 03:06:49,390
Health News has sorted it out for us.

5608
03:06:50,010 --> 03:06:51,270
Good to see you, Dr. Selene.

5609
03:06:51,970 --> 03:06:54,310
KFF Health News, by the way, as far

5610
03:06:54,310 --> 03:06:55,930
as I know, a bought-and-paid-for

5611
03:06:55,930 --> 03:06:56,710
publication.

5612
03:06:57,050 --> 03:06:58,670
It's like one of these, oh, we do

5613
03:06:58,670 --> 03:06:59,290
health news.

5614
03:06:59,510 --> 03:06:59,770
OK.

5615
03:07:00,390 --> 03:07:03,130
No, KFF is the Kaiser Family Foundation.

5616
03:07:03,550 --> 03:07:04,090
Yes, exactly.

5617
03:07:04,550 --> 03:07:06,190
Yeah, they're just a Kaiser shill.

5618
03:07:06,290 --> 03:07:07,150
Yes, exactly.

5619
03:07:07,310 --> 03:07:08,270
They sorted it out for us.

5620
03:07:08,890 --> 03:07:10,290
But they sorted it out for us.

5621
03:07:10,350 --> 03:07:11,450
Good to see you, Dr. Selene.

5622
03:07:11,450 --> 03:07:13,170
So how big a deal is this move

5623
03:07:13,170 --> 03:07:13,810
from the FDA?

5624
03:07:14,530 --> 03:07:18,010
So FDA Commissioner Marty Macri announced yesterday that

5625
03:07:18,010 --> 03:07:21,130
they are considering or planning to phase out

5626
03:07:21,130 --> 03:07:24,350
fluoride supplements such as tablets and drops for

5627
03:07:24,350 --> 03:07:24,710
kids.

5628
03:07:24,970 --> 03:07:27,670
And what we know is that fluoride supplements

5629
03:07:27,670 --> 03:07:30,310
really do still make a difference despite fluoride

5630
03:07:30,310 --> 03:07:30,770
in the water.

5631
03:07:30,930 --> 03:07:32,490
In some places, you don't have fluoride in

5632
03:07:32,490 --> 03:07:32,750
the water.

5633
03:07:32,950 --> 03:07:35,430
And many kids don't actually brush their teeth

5634
03:07:35,430 --> 03:07:37,290
regularly with fluoridated toothpaste.

5635
03:07:37,710 --> 03:07:39,490
They don't all make it to the dentist

5636
03:07:39,490 --> 03:07:40,430
on a regular basis.

5637
03:07:40,430 --> 03:07:43,910
And so we know that fluoride in general

5638
03:07:43,910 --> 03:07:46,130
can reduce the rate of cavities by about

5639
03:07:46,130 --> 03:07:49,750
25 percent, despite having other layers of protection.

5640
03:07:50,130 --> 03:07:53,690
So, OK, so what she's saying here is

5641
03:07:53,690 --> 03:07:57,070
for kids who don't brush their teeth and

5642
03:07:57,070 --> 03:07:59,990
don't get regular checkups, I can understand that,

5643
03:08:00,050 --> 03:08:01,590
but they don't brush, you don't brush your

5644
03:08:01,590 --> 03:08:01,810
teeth.

5645
03:08:02,130 --> 03:08:03,170
Fluoride can help.

5646
03:08:03,230 --> 03:08:06,870
No, you can't have gunk in your teeth

5647
03:08:06,870 --> 03:08:07,270
all day.

5648
03:08:07,270 --> 03:08:08,390
I know a lot about teeth.

5649
03:08:08,390 --> 03:08:10,550
You cannot have gunk in your teeth and

5650
03:08:10,550 --> 03:08:12,810
think that a fluoride tablet is going to

5651
03:08:12,810 --> 03:08:13,370
solve that.

5652
03:08:13,710 --> 03:08:16,150
But she, Selene Gounder, is on the sales

5653
03:08:16,150 --> 03:08:16,510
path.

5654
03:08:16,650 --> 03:08:18,910
Is there any evidence of kids getting access

5655
03:08:18,910 --> 03:08:21,050
to these drops and overusing them or any

5656
03:08:21,050 --> 03:08:21,910
kind of negative effects?

5657
03:08:22,090 --> 03:08:23,190
Oh, we need access to it.

5658
03:08:23,370 --> 03:08:24,770
Well, it's interesting that you ask that, Tony.

5659
03:08:24,930 --> 03:08:26,650
So the attorney general of Texas.

5660
03:08:27,850 --> 03:08:29,870
Interesting you ask that because it was in

5661
03:08:29,870 --> 03:08:30,530
your prompter.

5662
03:08:30,650 --> 03:08:31,550
The script was there.

5663
03:08:31,590 --> 03:08:32,850
It's interesting that you ask that, Tony.

5664
03:08:32,850 --> 03:08:36,190
So the attorney general of Texas is suing

5665
03:08:36,190 --> 03:08:40,430
Colgate and Procter and Gamble over flavored kid

5666
03:08:40,430 --> 03:08:41,090
friendly toothpaste.

5667
03:08:41,470 --> 03:08:44,630
We do know that, for example, with tobacco

5668
03:08:44,630 --> 03:08:48,330
or vapes, flavoring can encourage more use.

5669
03:08:48,490 --> 03:08:50,430
And the argument here is it could encourage

5670
03:08:50,430 --> 03:08:52,910
overuse of toothpaste if they're flavored for kids.

5671
03:08:53,150 --> 03:08:55,610
That'll be the day kids are eating the

5672
03:08:55,610 --> 03:08:56,410
toothpaste.

5673
03:08:56,950 --> 03:08:58,470
Give me a break.

5674
03:08:59,030 --> 03:09:01,490
Mommy, can I brush my teeth another 10

5675
03:09:01,490 --> 03:09:02,230
times today?

5676
03:09:02,330 --> 03:09:04,410
Because the toothpaste is so tasty.

5677
03:09:04,830 --> 03:09:05,130
All right.

5678
03:09:05,130 --> 03:09:07,410
So fluoride is banned from water and fluoride

5679
03:09:07,410 --> 03:09:07,950
supplements.

5680
03:09:08,210 --> 03:09:09,230
What are parents to do?

5681
03:09:09,790 --> 03:09:11,830
Well, at least for now, you still have

5682
03:09:11,830 --> 03:09:15,190
the toothpaste, the mouthwashes, the dental applied dentist

5683
03:09:15,190 --> 03:09:16,210
applied varnishes.

5684
03:09:16,690 --> 03:09:18,650
But as I mentioned, in Texas, they're actually

5685
03:09:18,650 --> 03:09:20,670
going after some of the toothpastes.

5686
03:09:21,950 --> 03:09:25,150
So, you know, the big concern here is

5687
03:09:25,150 --> 03:09:27,290
that you have 70 million Americans who do

5688
03:09:27,290 --> 03:09:28,430
not have dental insurance.

5689
03:09:28,630 --> 03:09:31,710
We know that kids, low income kids have

5690
03:09:31,710 --> 03:09:34,850
three times the risk of dental cavities that

5691
03:09:34,850 --> 03:09:36,250
go untreated to other kids.

5692
03:09:36,370 --> 03:09:38,950
And so we know that certain populations are

5693
03:09:38,950 --> 03:09:40,090
really going to go.

5694
03:09:40,390 --> 03:09:41,050
What did she say?

5695
03:09:41,090 --> 03:09:43,250
They go untreated to other kids make it

5696
03:09:43,250 --> 03:09:44,690
sound like it's infectious somehow.

5697
03:09:44,830 --> 03:09:45,770
I have dental insurance.

5698
03:09:46,010 --> 03:09:49,070
We know that kids, low income kids have

5699
03:09:49,070 --> 03:09:52,210
three times the risk of dental cavities that

5700
03:09:52,210 --> 03:09:53,610
go untreated to other kids.

5701
03:09:53,610 --> 03:09:56,290
And so we know that certain populations are

5702
03:09:56,290 --> 03:09:58,930
really going to see a surge in cavities.

5703
03:09:59,370 --> 03:10:00,770
Surge that was always raised.

5704
03:10:00,850 --> 03:10:01,230
Fluoride.

5705
03:10:01,290 --> 03:10:02,110
Good, good, good.

5706
03:10:02,190 --> 03:10:03,890
Now this stuff is so confusing to all

5707
03:10:03,890 --> 03:10:04,330
about good.

5708
03:10:04,590 --> 03:10:04,790
Yes.

5709
03:10:04,950 --> 03:10:05,670
OK, got it.

5710
03:10:05,730 --> 03:10:05,990
Got it.

5711
03:10:06,010 --> 03:10:06,370
Thank you.

5712
03:10:06,470 --> 03:10:06,730
Thank you.

5713
03:10:06,850 --> 03:10:07,370
All right.

5714
03:10:07,410 --> 03:10:08,190
Good, good, good.

5715
03:10:08,310 --> 03:10:09,290
Good, good, good.

5716
03:10:09,350 --> 03:10:11,390
It is that they mentioned throughout these reports

5717
03:10:11,390 --> 03:10:13,230
that the dentist can put a coating of

5718
03:10:13,230 --> 03:10:14,650
fluoride on your teeth, which is the way

5719
03:10:14,650 --> 03:10:15,590
it's supposed to be done.

5720
03:10:15,930 --> 03:10:17,450
Direct contact with the enamel.

5721
03:10:17,530 --> 03:10:19,430
She said the fluoride tray.

5722
03:10:19,550 --> 03:10:20,830
Yes, she did mention that briefly.

5723
03:10:23,610 --> 03:10:26,470
But the issue is the true issue is

5724
03:10:26,470 --> 03:10:28,030
we need to have better dental care.

5725
03:10:28,190 --> 03:10:29,990
People need more education on dental care.

5726
03:10:30,070 --> 03:10:30,650
It's very important.

5727
03:10:30,770 --> 03:10:32,410
Take it from a person who has a

5728
03:10:32,410 --> 03:10:33,770
small car in his mouth.

5729
03:10:35,270 --> 03:10:37,030
And it's a set us back quite a

5730
03:10:37,030 --> 03:10:37,270
bit.

5731
03:10:37,690 --> 03:10:38,890
And it was so that I would be

5732
03:10:38,890 --> 03:10:42,090
able to still speak and not have dentures.

5733
03:10:43,390 --> 03:10:46,050
So and that's because it's not because I

5734
03:10:46,050 --> 03:10:47,050
didn't brush with fluoride.

5735
03:10:47,190 --> 03:10:47,690
Believe me.

5736
03:10:52,360 --> 03:10:52,700
All right.

5737
03:10:52,740 --> 03:10:53,460
Well, that went nowhere.

5738
03:10:53,780 --> 03:10:54,740
Now, what do you mean?

5739
03:10:54,740 --> 03:10:55,500
Nowhere.

5740
03:10:55,620 --> 03:10:56,820
It's important information.

5741
03:10:58,460 --> 03:11:01,180
Man, you're supposed to say man, man.

5742
03:11:01,520 --> 03:11:02,080
All right.

5743
03:11:02,120 --> 03:11:02,640
Take us out.

5744
03:11:02,720 --> 03:11:03,600
You get one more shot.

5745
03:11:04,260 --> 03:11:05,560
I got one shot.

5746
03:11:05,820 --> 03:11:06,420
One shot.

5747
03:11:06,560 --> 03:11:07,420
You got one shot.

5748
03:11:07,640 --> 03:11:08,460
I got a screw.

5749
03:11:08,560 --> 03:11:10,800
Well, let's do the Trump in the judiciary

5750
03:11:10,800 --> 03:11:13,780
because that that's going on as we speak.

5751
03:11:13,840 --> 03:11:15,200
This is a big deal going on in

5752
03:11:15,200 --> 03:11:17,940
the Supreme Court right now about all the

5753
03:11:17,940 --> 03:11:19,720
crap that's being thrown at Trump by these

5754
03:11:19,720 --> 03:11:21,560
just rando judges.

5755
03:11:21,660 --> 03:11:23,000
So let's play these two clips.

5756
03:11:23,000 --> 03:11:25,240
A legal fight over one of America's oldest

5757
03:11:25,240 --> 03:11:27,340
national security laws is heating up.

5758
03:11:27,540 --> 03:11:29,580
The Trump administration just won a federal judge

5759
03:11:29,580 --> 03:11:32,060
in Pennsylvania has ruled that President Trump can

5760
03:11:32,060 --> 03:11:34,940
invoke the Alien Enemies Act, an 18th century

5761
03:11:34,940 --> 03:11:38,180
wartime statute to deport migrants suspected of gang

5762
03:11:38,180 --> 03:11:38,640
ties.

5763
03:11:39,320 --> 03:11:41,660
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Stephanie

5764
03:11:41,660 --> 03:11:44,460
Haines marks the first judicial support for Trump's

5765
03:11:44,460 --> 03:11:46,360
use of the law, putting her at odds

5766
03:11:46,360 --> 03:11:48,980
with three other federal judges in Texas, Colorado

5767
03:11:48,980 --> 03:11:49,780
and New York.

5768
03:11:50,420 --> 03:11:52,940
Trump invoked the law in March targeting members

5769
03:11:52,940 --> 03:11:55,920
of Tren de Aragua, or TDA, a Venezuelan

5770
03:11:55,920 --> 03:11:58,020
gang he labeled a foreign terrorist group.

5771
03:11:58,020 --> 03:11:59,140
Clip was supposed to go.

5772
03:11:59,240 --> 03:12:00,260
This has been misclipped.

5773
03:12:01,180 --> 03:12:02,720
I'm playing your clip.

5774
03:12:03,540 --> 03:12:04,040
All right.

5775
03:12:04,060 --> 03:12:04,740
Well, pull it.

5776
03:12:05,200 --> 03:12:05,820
Pull it.

5777
03:12:06,120 --> 03:12:06,980
I pulled it.

5778
03:12:07,100 --> 03:12:07,320
Pull it.

5779
03:12:07,380 --> 03:12:07,700
Oh, no.

5780
03:12:07,760 --> 03:12:09,000
There goes building seven.

5781
03:12:11,460 --> 03:12:12,480
I'll give you one up.

5782
03:12:12,560 --> 03:12:13,300
One more shot.

5783
03:12:13,520 --> 03:12:14,000
Not on this.

5784
03:12:14,100 --> 03:12:14,360
All right.

5785
03:12:14,360 --> 03:12:15,600
This time we're going to go back to

5786
03:12:15,600 --> 03:12:17,340
the public complaining about something.

5787
03:12:17,340 --> 03:12:20,220
This is a complaint of mine, too, which

5788
03:12:20,220 --> 03:12:23,400
has been about EULAs and licensing and all

5789
03:12:23,400 --> 03:12:26,880
the whole background that started with WordStar, where

5790
03:12:26,880 --> 03:12:29,020
you never really bought their software product.

5791
03:12:29,220 --> 03:12:31,380
This stems back in the early days of

5792
03:12:31,380 --> 03:12:31,980
mainframes.

5793
03:12:32,340 --> 03:12:33,640
You never bought the software product.

5794
03:12:33,680 --> 03:12:35,080
You bought a license to use it.

5795
03:12:35,580 --> 03:12:38,960
Now Nintendo's making poor kids buying a game.

5796
03:12:39,420 --> 03:12:41,860
Nintendo's making poor kids buying a game.

5797
03:12:42,260 --> 03:12:43,760
Now you don't own the game anymore.

5798
03:12:44,060 --> 03:12:45,940
You get the license to use it.

5799
03:12:45,940 --> 03:12:48,780
Nintendo are updating our user agreement for the

5800
03:12:48,780 --> 03:12:49,340
Switch 2.

5801
03:12:49,460 --> 03:12:52,520
If you make any unauthorized modifications to your

5802
03:12:52,520 --> 03:12:55,780
Switch 2, we will remotely deactivate your console

5803
03:12:55,780 --> 03:12:57,820
so that you cannot play any more games.

5804
03:12:57,940 --> 03:12:58,360
Whoa.

5805
03:12:58,580 --> 03:13:01,780
I understand deactivating online play and the store

5806
03:13:01,780 --> 03:13:05,500
with mods installed, but deactivating the console itself?

5807
03:13:05,800 --> 03:13:08,180
People will own the Nintendo Switch 2.

5808
03:13:08,300 --> 03:13:10,000
They should have rights to do what they

5809
03:13:10,000 --> 03:13:10,640
want with it.

5810
03:13:10,700 --> 03:13:13,080
Actually, they will not own the Switch 2.

5811
03:13:13,080 --> 03:13:15,540
They will own the license to play the

5812
03:13:15,540 --> 03:13:17,780
Switch 2, and that license can be revoked

5813
03:13:17,780 --> 03:13:18,600
at any moment.

5814
03:13:18,760 --> 03:13:18,980
What?

5815
03:13:19,220 --> 03:13:21,640
You sound like the big brother of gaming.

5816
03:13:21,800 --> 03:13:23,700
In addition to this, physical games will no

5817
03:13:23,700 --> 03:13:25,840
longer be installed on the game cartridge.

5818
03:13:26,040 --> 03:13:28,220
The game cartridge will only contain a key

5819
03:13:28,220 --> 03:13:30,200
to install the game over the internet.

5820
03:13:30,420 --> 03:13:31,780
Then what's the point of physical?

5821
03:13:32,000 --> 03:13:34,280
And why are you charging another $10 for

5822
03:13:34,280 --> 03:13:34,440
it?

5823
03:13:34,560 --> 03:13:36,880
People will be paying $80 for a key?

5824
03:13:37,020 --> 03:13:37,780
Yes, exactly.

5825
03:13:37,960 --> 03:13:40,300
A key to access the license to the

5826
03:13:40,300 --> 03:13:40,520
game.

5827
03:13:40,520 --> 03:13:42,940
So we won't own anything.

5828
03:13:43,380 --> 03:13:44,460
This is insane.

5829
03:13:44,580 --> 03:13:45,560
You know what else is insane?

5830
03:13:45,760 --> 03:13:47,980
Selling out Switch 2 pre-orders within an

5831
03:13:47,980 --> 03:13:48,300
hour.

5832
03:13:50,820 --> 03:13:52,080
Do you know my car?

5833
03:13:52,240 --> 03:13:54,580
I have a console with like, you know,

5834
03:13:54,600 --> 03:13:55,120
a screen.

5835
03:13:55,720 --> 03:13:57,540
It popped up a EULA the other day.

5836
03:13:58,980 --> 03:13:59,940
Oh no.

5837
03:14:00,120 --> 03:14:00,540
Oh yeah.

5838
03:14:00,840 --> 03:14:02,920
One of these days, it's like the insurance

5839
03:14:02,920 --> 03:14:04,420
company taking over everything.

5840
03:14:04,560 --> 03:14:06,700
They took over the medicine business.

5841
03:14:06,840 --> 03:14:08,560
They took over, you know, they're trying to

5842
03:14:08,560 --> 03:14:10,040
take over car repair business.

5843
03:14:10,040 --> 03:14:12,580
They're trying to take over home appliance business.

5844
03:14:12,760 --> 03:14:14,420
The insurances create these middlemen.

5845
03:14:14,520 --> 03:14:17,180
The other big scam going on, it's never

5846
03:14:17,180 --> 03:14:19,560
going to end, is the idea of licensing

5847
03:14:19,560 --> 03:14:20,520
the car.

5848
03:14:20,920 --> 03:14:21,880
In other words, you're not going to buy

5849
03:14:21,880 --> 03:14:23,860
a car, but you don't really own the

5850
03:14:23,860 --> 03:14:24,000
car.

5851
03:14:24,120 --> 03:14:27,020
You bought a license, $20,000, $30,000,

5852
03:14:27,220 --> 03:14:29,560
$40,000, $50,000 for a license to

5853
03:14:29,560 --> 03:14:30,720
use the car.

5854
03:14:30,940 --> 03:14:31,920
That's where it's headed.

5855
03:14:32,120 --> 03:14:32,820
That's what's coming.

5856
03:14:33,060 --> 03:14:35,740
And if you don't agree to the license,

5857
03:14:35,840 --> 03:14:37,020
they turn your car off.

5858
03:14:37,720 --> 03:14:39,020
You know who's going to do that first?

5859
03:14:39,260 --> 03:14:39,520
Elon.

5860
03:14:40,360 --> 03:14:42,620
I guarantee you Tesla will be the first.

5861
03:14:42,740 --> 03:14:44,860
They already do it, basically.

5862
03:14:46,640 --> 03:14:47,120
Yeah.

5863
03:14:48,080 --> 03:14:50,020
This is, you don't, you won't own anything

5864
03:14:50,020 --> 03:14:50,740
and be happy.

5865
03:14:50,840 --> 03:14:52,120
This is what it stems from.

5866
03:14:52,860 --> 03:14:54,760
I'm going to show my support by donating

5867
03:14:54,760 --> 03:14:55,660
to No Agenda.

5868
03:14:55,820 --> 03:14:57,720
Imagine all the people who could do that.

5869
03:14:57,920 --> 03:14:58,940
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.

5870
03:15:00,020 --> 03:15:05,620
Yeah, on No Agenda, in the morning.

5871
03:15:06,220 --> 03:15:08,600
At New Rules starting Sunday, we're going to

5872
03:15:08,600 --> 03:15:09,580
make shorter shows.

5873
03:15:10,340 --> 03:15:11,120
We're crazy.

5874
03:15:11,200 --> 03:15:11,760
What are we doing?

5875
03:15:12,780 --> 03:15:14,320
We were way over today.

5876
03:15:14,400 --> 03:15:14,980
It's my fault.

5877
03:15:15,120 --> 03:15:16,740
Oh, not over again.

5878
03:15:17,020 --> 03:15:19,160
Well, let's start with getting these people out

5879
03:15:19,160 --> 03:15:19,840
of the way here.

5880
03:15:20,000 --> 03:15:20,840
Let's move them out.

5881
03:15:20,920 --> 03:15:21,720
All right, move them out.

5882
03:15:21,840 --> 03:15:24,360
Lucas Williams in Roswell, New Mexico, our buddy

5883
03:15:24,360 --> 03:15:25,960
there in the old space area.

5884
03:15:26,680 --> 03:15:28,420
An alien Roswell, $100.

5885
03:15:29,620 --> 03:15:31,580
Boom, right at the top, Kevin McLaughlin.

5886
03:15:32,560 --> 03:15:33,940
Shows you how dire it is.

5887
03:15:34,420 --> 03:15:35,040
Conquer North Carolina.

5888
03:15:35,080 --> 03:15:38,020
He should be like 10 deep.

5889
03:15:38,340 --> 03:15:39,220
Yes, he should be.

5890
03:15:39,220 --> 03:15:41,580
8008, he's the Arstuk Aluna lover of America,

5891
03:15:41,840 --> 03:15:42,340
lover of boobs.

5892
03:15:42,960 --> 03:15:47,260
We have another 8008 from Al, I don't

5893
03:15:47,260 --> 03:15:51,500
know, Gonsulin in Missouri City, Texas.

5894
03:15:52,020 --> 03:15:52,420
Let me see.

5895
03:15:52,920 --> 03:15:53,860
Missouri City.

5896
03:15:55,640 --> 03:15:56,240
8008.

5897
03:15:56,380 --> 03:15:57,160
Yeah, Gonsulin.

5898
03:15:57,300 --> 03:15:58,720
He's a gigawatt coffee lover.

5899
03:15:58,980 --> 03:15:59,940
Oh, aren't we all?

5900
03:16:00,680 --> 03:16:05,220
The Last Fast Eddie in Alameda, 8008.

5901
03:16:05,220 --> 03:16:07,020
He's got some 8008s in.

5902
03:16:09,360 --> 03:16:10,280
Urine Snellders.

5903
03:16:10,420 --> 03:16:10,880
Urine.

5904
03:16:11,200 --> 03:16:11,600
Urine.

5905
03:16:11,900 --> 03:16:12,360
Urine.

5906
03:16:12,860 --> 03:16:13,320
Urine.

5907
03:16:16,440 --> 03:16:19,520
Urine Snellders in Ennis, Texas, 75.

5908
03:16:21,080 --> 03:16:22,780
He's got a call out to his friend,

5909
03:16:22,880 --> 03:16:23,320
Veronica.

5910
03:16:26,000 --> 03:16:26,840
Dame Toni.

5911
03:16:27,520 --> 03:16:29,160
Oh, no, Dame Toni Helps.

5912
03:16:29,440 --> 03:16:30,680
Haven't heard from her for a while.

5913
03:16:31,600 --> 03:16:33,480
She's been here the last couple of times

5914
03:16:33,480 --> 03:16:34,860
with the On Gigi donation.

5915
03:16:35,220 --> 03:16:37,060
She's in Oklahoma City.

5916
03:16:37,600 --> 03:16:40,240
And she wants the full On Gigi.

5917
03:16:40,400 --> 03:16:40,880
Here it comes.

5918
03:16:43,210 --> 03:16:45,190
I'll just have an apple in my room.

5919
03:16:46,430 --> 03:16:50,590
Adam Herbert, South Windsor, Connecticut, 6161, which should

5920
03:16:50,590 --> 03:16:51,030
be an...

5921
03:16:51,030 --> 03:16:52,270
Give her another On Gigi.

5922
03:16:52,350 --> 03:16:54,250
That's On Gigi, 6161.

5923
03:16:55,890 --> 03:16:57,750
I'll just have an apple in my room.

5924
03:16:58,430 --> 03:17:01,070
Christopher Dechter, 5678.

5925
03:17:01,870 --> 03:17:05,370

03:17:06,090 --> 03:17:06,730
He's in Belgium.

5927
03:17:07,370 --> 03:17:07,850
5272.

5929
03:17:18,290 --> 03:17:21,050
Sur Economic Hitman in Tombill, Texas, 5001.

5930
03:17:21,290 --> 03:17:22,770
And boom, we're already at the 50s.

5931
03:17:22,990 --> 03:17:24,210
And there's not that many of them, but

5932
03:17:24,210 --> 03:17:24,690
there's a few.

5933
03:17:25,330 --> 03:17:28,070
Name and location, starting with Gary Ma in

5934
03:17:28,070 --> 03:17:29,370
Woodland Hills, California.

5935
03:17:29,610 --> 03:17:32,550
Dame Patricia Worthington, our friend in Miami, Florida.

5936
03:17:32,810 --> 03:17:33,750
She hasn't given up.

5937
03:17:34,390 --> 03:17:37,470
Brandon Savoie, another one in Port Orchard, Washington.

5938
03:17:37,650 --> 03:17:38,350
What's his title?

5939
03:17:38,550 --> 03:17:39,470
Get a title.

5940
03:17:43,310 --> 03:17:44,430
Kennel Petalia.

5941
03:17:44,630 --> 03:17:45,070
What do you think?

5942
03:17:45,130 --> 03:17:46,990
Petalia in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

5943
03:17:47,330 --> 03:17:49,290
Kevin Dills in Huntersville, North Carolina.

5944

Diane Schwannenbeck in Johnsburg, Illinois.

Easy Landscapes in North Stonington, Connecticut.

5946
03:17:56,630 --> 03:17:57,610

Chris Lewinsky in Sherwood Park, Alberta.

5949
03:18:04,110 --> 03:18:06,550
And last on a very, very, very, very

5950
03:18:06,550 --> 03:18:15,050
short list, Robert Dreykosen in Oshkosh, Bogosh, Wisconsin.

5951
03:18:15,710 --> 03:18:18,510
And we thank these donors, $50 and over

5952
03:18:18,510 --> 03:18:19,550
for their contribution.

5953
03:18:19,650 --> 03:18:21,070
It is very much appreciated.

5954
03:18:21,390 --> 03:18:23,530
We know you like the value you get

5955
03:18:23,530 --> 03:18:24,350
and you send it back.

5956
03:18:24,350 --> 03:18:26,490
We'd like to see more people doing that,

5957
03:18:26,610 --> 03:18:26,770
please.

5958
03:18:26,930 --> 03:18:28,190
Even at these levels, it's great.

5959
03:18:28,310 --> 03:18:29,230
We appreciate it all.

5960
03:18:29,470 --> 03:18:31,570
Of the amount of people who are...

5961
03:18:31,570 --> 03:18:32,050
What is that?

5962
03:18:32,130 --> 03:18:32,790
What is...

5963
03:18:32,790 --> 03:18:33,470
What am I hearing?

5964
03:18:33,710 --> 03:18:34,430
What is going on?

5965
03:18:36,430 --> 03:18:37,090
That's weird.

5966
03:18:37,250 --> 03:18:38,950
It's like some kind of earthquake happening.

5967
03:18:39,530 --> 03:18:40,450
So maybe you got an earthquake.

5968
03:18:40,670 --> 03:18:41,310
No, maybe not.

5969
03:18:42,190 --> 03:18:45,410
Anyway, the point being, we appreciate anybody who

5970
03:18:45,410 --> 03:18:46,130
supports the show.

5971
03:18:46,210 --> 03:18:47,630
And we'd love to see more people step

5972
03:18:47,630 --> 03:18:48,310
up, please.

5973
03:18:48,890 --> 03:18:50,950
And of course, thanks everyone under $50 for

5974
03:18:50,950 --> 03:18:51,810
reasons of anonymity.

5975
03:18:51,890 --> 03:18:54,030
We will not mention these, but we see

5976
03:18:54,030 --> 03:18:54,190
you.

5977
03:18:54,250 --> 03:18:55,170
We appreciate you.

5978
03:18:55,170 --> 03:18:57,350
And you can always support us with a

5979
03:18:57,350 --> 03:18:59,850
donation of any amount, any frequency.

5980
03:18:59,870 --> 03:19:02,330
That is a do-it-yourself sustaining donation.

5981
03:19:02,470 --> 03:19:03,670
We need a lot more of those.

5982
03:19:04,050 --> 03:19:06,910
Go to noagendadonations.com and support the show.

5983
03:19:06,970 --> 03:19:08,430
If you get any value out of it,

5984
03:19:08,490 --> 03:19:09,470
send that value back.

5985
03:19:10,350 --> 03:19:18,810
noagendadonations.com Short list, but Marcel van Dongen

5986
03:19:18,810 --> 03:19:20,290
turned 60 years old today.

5987
03:19:20,370 --> 03:19:21,710
We say happy birthday to him.

5988
03:19:21,710 --> 03:19:24,670
And Eric wishes Lauren Palo Oda a very

5989
03:19:24,670 --> 03:19:25,150
happy one.

5990
03:19:25,430 --> 03:19:26,830
She is also celebrating today.

5991
03:19:26,950 --> 03:19:28,110
And she turns 30.

5992
03:19:28,210 --> 03:19:29,470
Happy birthday from everybody here.

5993
03:19:29,530 --> 03:19:31,750
The best podcast day in the universe.

5994
03:19:42,110 --> 03:19:43,650
Two title upgrades.

5995
03:19:43,850 --> 03:19:45,630
One for Sir Marcel van Dongen.

5996
03:19:45,770 --> 03:19:47,370
He is the knight of the Iver...

5997
03:19:47,950 --> 03:19:50,370
And he now becomes Sir Marcel van Dongen.

5998
03:19:50,370 --> 03:19:52,170
Baron of Calag...

5999
03:19:52,170 --> 03:19:54,130
Calangala Hideout.

6000
03:19:54,270 --> 03:19:56,110
The Baron of the Calangala Hideout.

6001
03:19:56,230 --> 03:19:57,270
I'll practice that.

6002
03:19:57,370 --> 03:19:59,450
And of course, our very own Sir Brian

6003
03:19:59,450 --> 03:19:59,870
with an I.

6004
03:19:59,970 --> 03:20:02,490
Now becomes Baron at Sir Brian with an

6005
03:20:02,490 --> 03:20:02,630
I.

6006
03:20:02,690 --> 03:20:04,230
And he will be touting that at the

6007
03:20:04,230 --> 03:20:04,530
meetup.

6008
03:20:04,590 --> 03:20:05,670
I guarantee you.

6009
03:20:05,930 --> 03:20:08,150
We have a Commodore as promised.

6010
03:20:08,370 --> 03:20:10,690
He came in late, but he deserves it.

6011
03:20:10,770 --> 03:20:13,050
And we are very proud to welcome the

6012
03:20:13,050 --> 03:20:14,270
brand new Commodore.

6013
03:20:14,510 --> 03:20:17,910
He is Commodore Marcel van Dongen.

6014
03:20:19,290 --> 03:20:20,170
Commodore arriving.

6015
03:20:21,670 --> 03:20:24,250
We have a gifted knight note from Sir

6016
03:20:24,250 --> 03:20:26,990
Mike of the Mountain on the previous episode.

6017
03:20:27,570 --> 03:20:29,850
His son gifted him the knighthood that he

6018
03:20:29,850 --> 03:20:30,350
had earned.

6019
03:20:30,750 --> 03:20:32,010
The knight name Sir Mike of the Mountain

6020
03:20:32,010 --> 03:20:32,890
is perfectly fine.

6021
03:20:32,990 --> 03:20:34,910
I would like to request though, Escargot at

6022
03:20:34,910 --> 03:20:35,670
the round table.

6023
03:20:36,210 --> 03:20:37,710
He got into you guys through me because

6024
03:20:37,710 --> 03:20:39,310
I started listening to you guys around episode

6025
03:20:39,310 --> 03:20:40,070
100.

6026
03:20:40,630 --> 03:20:42,530
Although I disagree with some of the assertions

6027
03:20:42,530 --> 03:20:44,050
you guys have made over the years.

6028
03:20:44,150 --> 03:20:45,030
Which is fine.

6029
03:20:45,670 --> 03:20:47,970
You are still a valuable source of news

6030
03:20:47,970 --> 03:20:49,290
in a world of propaganda.

6031
03:20:50,030 --> 03:20:50,850
Thank you.

6032
03:20:51,310 --> 03:20:53,510
And he ends with a Gandhi quote.

6033
03:20:54,110 --> 03:20:56,250
Be the change you want to be and

6034
03:20:56,250 --> 03:20:57,590
want to see in the world.

6035
03:20:58,410 --> 03:20:59,610
I think we adhere to that.

6036
03:21:00,330 --> 03:21:01,290
Thank you very much.

6037
03:21:01,390 --> 03:21:03,230
Go to noagendarings.com.

6038
03:21:03,310 --> 03:21:05,010

6039
03:21:05,010 --> 03:21:06,970
ship for Marcel van Dongen Commodore.

6040
03:21:07,290 --> 03:21:09,770
And I've ordered the Escargots just for you.

6041
03:21:09,890 --> 03:21:11,250
Thank you very much Sir Mike of the

6042
03:21:11,250 --> 03:21:11,450
Mountain.

6043
03:21:21,730 --> 03:21:24,110
It was actually a lawnmower coming by.

6044
03:21:24,370 --> 03:21:26,130
I thought it was an earthquake the way

6045
03:21:26,130 --> 03:21:26,610
it sounded.

6046
03:21:27,510 --> 03:21:29,270

noagendameetups.com.

6106
03:23:27,730 --> 03:23:28,610
Always a party.

6107
03:23:40,790 --> 03:23:44,110
You wanna be where everybody feels the same.

6108
03:23:46,450 --> 03:23:47,890
It's like a party.

6109
03:23:48,230 --> 03:23:48,790
All right.

6110
03:23:48,850 --> 03:23:50,550
We still have some pretty good end of

6111
03:23:50,550 --> 03:23:51,590
show mixes coming up.

6112
03:23:51,610 --> 03:23:53,610
Even though what John says and I like

6113
03:23:53,610 --> 03:23:53,730
them.

6114
03:23:54,390 --> 03:23:56,270
We have a tip of the day with

6115
03:23:56,270 --> 03:23:58,570
a complaint that came in about the tips

6116
03:23:58,570 --> 03:23:59,030
of the day.

6117
03:23:59,130 --> 03:24:00,370
And we'll have to take care of that.

6118
03:24:00,430 --> 03:24:01,550
But the tips of the day are very

6119
03:24:01,550 --> 03:24:02,010
valuable.

6120
03:24:02,310 --> 03:24:04,130
And right now we'd like to look at

6121
03:24:04,130 --> 03:24:06,590
the ISO clips that we will be using

6122
03:24:06,590 --> 03:24:08,570
to end the show with.

6123
03:24:09,410 --> 03:24:11,290
John, have you done more AI work?

6124
03:24:11,390 --> 03:24:13,350
Is that what you've been been at?

6125
03:24:13,510 --> 03:24:15,970
Up to some this and that and the

6126
03:24:15,970 --> 03:24:16,170
other.

6127
03:24:16,310 --> 03:24:19,530
I didn't get the sentient AI back yet,

6128
03:24:19,590 --> 03:24:21,450
but give her a rest.

6129
03:24:22,590 --> 03:24:23,570
Why don't you do yours?

6130
03:24:23,610 --> 03:24:24,410
I have only one.

6131
03:24:24,510 --> 03:24:25,850
I think it may be a winner and

6132
03:24:25,850 --> 03:24:27,550
specifically for this show.

6133
03:24:27,730 --> 03:24:29,210
So I'd like to go last.

6134
03:24:29,330 --> 03:24:30,570
Oh, it's just complaining.

6135
03:24:30,770 --> 03:24:31,370
Yes, of course.

6136
03:24:32,530 --> 03:24:36,370
We'll start with Bear Monkey.

6137
03:24:36,370 --> 03:24:38,770
That was better than a bear fighting a

6138
03:24:38,770 --> 03:24:39,010
monkey.

6139
03:24:42,050 --> 03:24:42,630
Okay.

6140
03:24:43,910 --> 03:24:44,790
All right.

6141
03:24:45,010 --> 03:24:45,760
I'll take it.

6142
03:24:47,190 --> 03:24:48,170
Do we have scared?

6143
03:24:48,850 --> 03:24:50,190
I was scared out of my mind.

6144
03:24:50,750 --> 03:24:52,410
Nah, it's too much background noise.

6145
03:24:54,010 --> 03:24:54,890
Then while best.

6146
03:24:55,210 --> 03:24:55,750
Wow.

6147
03:24:56,010 --> 03:24:57,770
Best three hours you'll ever spend.

6148
03:24:59,530 --> 03:25:00,630
That's pretty good.

6149
03:25:01,070 --> 03:25:01,590
Here's mine.

6150
03:25:01,830 --> 03:25:02,710
It's a no AI.

6151
03:25:03,030 --> 03:25:04,790
Bye bye and donate.

6152
03:25:05,330 --> 03:25:05,750
Nah.

6153
03:25:08,500 --> 03:25:09,960
You gotta admit that's pretty good.

6154
03:25:10,240 --> 03:25:12,400
I like it because it has the donate

6155
03:25:12,400 --> 03:25:13,000
promotion.

6156
03:25:13,260 --> 03:25:14,660
Yes, I knew you would like it because

6157
03:25:14,660 --> 03:25:15,300
it has the donate.

6158
03:25:15,600 --> 03:25:21,280
It's a little bit under modulated, but you

6159
03:25:21,280 --> 03:25:22,480
can probably boost it a bit.

6160
03:25:22,540 --> 03:25:23,260
Yeah, let's use that.

6161
03:25:23,600 --> 03:25:24,420
I'm going to pass.

6162
03:25:24,680 --> 03:25:26,140
I'm going to keep my two, though, because

6163
03:25:26,140 --> 03:25:27,300
I like them so much.

6164
03:25:27,420 --> 03:25:28,840
Yes, they are so dynamite.

6165
03:25:29,080 --> 03:25:30,200
I'm going to bump them.

6166
03:25:30,280 --> 03:25:31,000
You're going to bump them.

6167
03:25:31,200 --> 03:25:31,880
They've been bumped.

6168
03:25:31,960 --> 03:25:34,200
And now, everybody, we will never bump this.

6169
03:25:34,280 --> 03:25:36,060
It is John's tip of the day.

6170
03:25:38,380 --> 03:25:41,060
You and me, just the two of us

6171
03:25:41,060 --> 03:25:42,640
with JCD.

6172
03:25:43,240 --> 03:25:44,900
And sometimes Adam.

6173
03:25:45,620 --> 03:25:46,680
Created by Dana Brunetti.

6174
03:25:46,720 --> 03:25:47,480
We have a complaint.

6175
03:25:47,740 --> 03:25:48,460
We have a complaint.

6176
03:25:48,660 --> 03:25:49,660
I want to hear the complaint.

6177
03:25:49,820 --> 03:25:51,000
We always get a complaint.

6178
03:25:51,160 --> 03:25:54,500
The complaint comes from Dana Brunetti, creator of

6179
03:25:54,500 --> 03:25:55,300
the tip of the day.

6180
03:25:56,860 --> 03:26:01,040
And he says, vid angel question marks.

6181
03:26:01,820 --> 03:26:03,860
Tip of the day has turned into my

6182
03:26:03,860 --> 03:26:04,960
Frankenstein.

6183
03:26:05,840 --> 03:26:08,420
First, the tip about the Chinese crap app,

6184
03:26:08,520 --> 03:26:11,880
Timu, and now the censorship app vid angel.

6185
03:26:12,400 --> 03:26:14,960
It's a horrible product and shouldn't be used,

6186
03:26:15,060 --> 03:26:17,400
much less paid $10 a month for.

6187
03:26:17,620 --> 03:26:19,720
I use it, use it on the No

6188
03:26:19,720 --> 03:26:21,720
Agenda podcast, and it reduced it down to

6189
03:26:21,720 --> 03:26:22,580
30 seconds.

6190
03:26:23,180 --> 03:26:26,040
Please let the listeners know of my disgust

6191
03:26:26,040 --> 03:26:28,060
and disapproval of this censorship.

6192
03:26:28,060 --> 03:26:29,700
You are promoting John C.

6193
03:26:29,740 --> 03:26:30,200
Dvorak.

6194
03:26:30,400 --> 03:26:32,660
People who use this should be better parents

6195
03:26:32,660 --> 03:26:34,980
and look at the ratings before watching something

6196
03:26:34,980 --> 03:26:35,660
with their children.

6197
03:26:36,060 --> 03:26:37,720
Don't expose them to censorship.

6198
03:26:38,280 --> 03:26:40,700
Maybe vid angels should pivot and work only

6199
03:26:40,700 --> 03:26:43,420
to remove all the woke propaganda in film

6200
03:26:43,420 --> 03:26:43,960
and TV.

6201
03:26:44,420 --> 03:26:47,580
Actually, even that censorship, I couldn't get behind.

6202
03:26:47,960 --> 03:26:49,060
Thumbs down.

6203
03:26:50,780 --> 03:26:52,480
I have to kind of agree with him.

6204
03:26:53,800 --> 03:26:55,300
Yeah, I have to agree with it.

6205
03:26:55,360 --> 03:26:56,320
I think Dana Brunetti's honest.

6206
03:26:56,340 --> 03:26:57,480
I disagree with you both.

6207
03:26:57,860 --> 03:27:00,120
And the thing is, you sound like him

6208
03:27:00,120 --> 03:27:00,720
when you do that.

6209
03:27:00,720 --> 03:27:01,620
I know, it's pretty good, right?

6210
03:27:01,620 --> 03:27:03,440
He never sent me that note, of course.

6211
03:27:06,260 --> 03:27:08,500
And I'm surprised that when you said his

6212
03:27:08,500 --> 03:27:11,540
complaint by Dana Brunetti, I figured that the

6213
03:27:11,540 --> 03:27:13,820
complaint was his name wasn't pushed toward the

6214
03:27:13,820 --> 03:27:17,300
front of the credits.

6215
03:27:17,740 --> 03:27:19,780
No, he cares for humans and he cares

6216
03:27:19,780 --> 03:27:20,440
for art.

6217
03:27:21,500 --> 03:27:21,860
Oh, yeah.

6218
03:27:22,060 --> 03:27:24,160
Well, him and De Niro should get together.

6219
03:27:24,360 --> 03:27:25,780
Yeah, they should hang out together.

6220
03:27:25,940 --> 03:27:26,400
I agree.

6221
03:27:26,840 --> 03:27:27,920
And be a fine pair.

6222
03:27:28,540 --> 03:27:30,360
Okay, so this tip of the day is

6223
03:27:30,360 --> 03:27:31,020
for...

6224
03:27:31,020 --> 03:27:32,160
I thought I had it.

6225
03:27:32,240 --> 03:27:33,240
I thought I've given it.

6226
03:27:33,260 --> 03:27:34,540
I think I mentioned it on the show.

6227
03:27:34,620 --> 03:27:35,780
I never gave it as a tip of

6228
03:27:35,780 --> 03:27:36,080
the day.

6229
03:27:36,140 --> 03:27:37,380
And I went back and looked in the

6230
03:27:37,380 --> 03:27:40,420
DojaIntoFun.com and then searched the whole site,

6231
03:27:40,540 --> 03:27:41,160
couldn't find it.

6232
03:27:41,220 --> 03:27:42,320
So I figured, oh, you know, I should

6233
03:27:42,320 --> 03:27:43,220
give this tip of the day.

6234
03:27:43,280 --> 03:27:44,540
It's a fabulous product.

6235
03:27:44,980 --> 03:27:47,220
It's a freeware product called IrfanView.

6236
03:27:47,880 --> 03:27:48,540
You've heard of it?

6237
03:27:49,300 --> 03:27:50,000
IrfanView, what?

6238
03:27:50,800 --> 03:27:52,080
I guess you haven't heard of it.

6239
03:27:52,200 --> 03:27:52,480
No.

6240
03:27:53,400 --> 03:27:55,260
It's I-R-F-A-N-V-I

6241
03:27:55,260 --> 03:27:55,680
-E-W.

6242
03:27:55,680 --> 03:27:59,620
It is an image software package that's for

6243
03:27:59,620 --> 03:28:03,340
quick viewing of images, also quick converting of

6244
03:28:03,340 --> 03:28:03,680
images.

6245
03:28:03,880 --> 03:28:08,440
For example, the horrible image format W-E

6246
03:28:08,440 --> 03:28:10,420
-B-P.

6247
03:28:10,620 --> 03:28:12,640
What's that iPhone format?

6248
03:28:13,080 --> 03:28:16,240
Like, they have iPhone sometimes send it.

6249
03:28:16,900 --> 03:28:19,240
There's a bunch of these horrible formats that

6250
03:28:19,240 --> 03:28:20,680
nobody uses.

6251
03:28:21,420 --> 03:28:23,340
But this will read them if you get...

6252
03:28:23,340 --> 03:28:26,280
Or also put in the plugin package.

6253
03:28:26,680 --> 03:28:27,820
But this will read anything.

6254
03:28:27,980 --> 03:28:30,760
It reads KDC files, which is like the

6255
03:28:30,760 --> 03:28:33,080
early, early digital format from Kodak.

6256
03:28:33,380 --> 03:28:34,060
H-E-I-C.

6257
03:28:34,200 --> 03:28:35,700
That's what Apple phones send.

6258
03:28:35,940 --> 03:28:36,060
H-E-I-C.

6259
03:28:36,240 --> 03:28:37,140
It'll read it.

6260
03:28:37,340 --> 03:28:37,860
It's horrible.

6261
03:28:38,680 --> 03:28:40,300
But as soon as it loads it in

6262
03:28:40,300 --> 03:28:41,260
and you want to save it, you go

6263
03:28:41,260 --> 03:28:43,100
save as, it'll save it as a JPEG.

6264
03:28:43,160 --> 03:28:44,220
It'll save it as a PNG.

6265
03:28:44,300 --> 03:28:45,100
It'll do anything you want.

6266
03:28:45,160 --> 03:28:45,920
And can you convert sizes?

6267
03:28:47,080 --> 03:28:48,380
Yeah, you can do that too.

6268
03:28:48,780 --> 03:28:50,340
Well, I should use that because I'm always

6269
03:28:50,340 --> 03:28:52,200
converting sizes for the Noagen Art.

6270
03:28:52,200 --> 03:28:54,300
I will take your tip and I will

6271
03:28:54,300 --> 03:28:55,540
let you know how I get on with

6272
03:28:55,540 --> 03:28:55,840
it.

6273
03:28:55,940 --> 03:28:56,480
That's a good idea.

6274
03:28:56,680 --> 03:28:58,700
And it does minor editing.

6275
03:28:58,940 --> 03:29:01,660
It's really good for a fast crop.

6276
03:29:02,440 --> 03:29:04,260
For a fat boom, boom, crop, boom.

6277
03:29:04,380 --> 03:29:04,720
You're there.

6278
03:29:06,640 --> 03:29:07,840
It'll do a fast crop.

6279
03:29:07,900 --> 03:29:09,820
It'll do a sharpened image.

6280
03:29:09,940 --> 03:29:12,100
It'll do a couple of quick and dirty

6281
03:29:12,100 --> 03:29:14,120
kind of contrast changes and some other.

6282
03:29:14,480 --> 03:29:16,580
Very simple, super fast.

6283
03:29:16,640 --> 03:29:17,980
So when you hit the image, it loads

6284
03:29:17,980 --> 03:29:18,440
it right away.

6285
03:29:18,440 --> 03:29:21,900
It also plays movies faster than the Microsoft

6286
03:29:21,900 --> 03:29:22,500
products.

6287
03:29:22,580 --> 03:29:25,880
The Microsoft player is slow and the Microsoft

6288
03:29:25,880 --> 03:29:27,380
photo stinks.

6289
03:29:28,140 --> 03:29:29,240
And get rid of those things.

6290
03:29:29,340 --> 03:29:30,960
But the problem I have to say, there's

6291
03:29:30,960 --> 03:29:32,180
just as an add-on here.

6292
03:29:32,760 --> 03:29:34,280
You can't, it doesn't, you know, in the

6293
03:29:34,280 --> 03:29:36,660
olden days, when you're loaded Earth Fan View

6294
03:29:36,660 --> 03:29:37,840
and say, would you like it to do

6295
03:29:37,840 --> 03:29:38,720
all these things?

6296
03:29:38,760 --> 03:29:40,420
And say, they have a list of GIF

6297
03:29:40,420 --> 03:29:43,520
and AVI and all these different formats.

6298
03:29:43,520 --> 03:29:45,440
It'll read and you just click yes for

6299
03:29:45,440 --> 03:29:45,900
all of them.

6300
03:29:45,900 --> 03:29:48,040
No, now you have to go into the

6301
03:29:48,040 --> 03:29:48,520
settings.

6302
03:29:48,740 --> 03:29:50,240
I think, which I think is illegal.

6303
03:29:50,700 --> 03:29:52,120
You have to go into the settings and

6304
03:29:52,120 --> 03:29:56,260
hand change all the defaults to Earth Fan

6305
03:29:56,260 --> 03:29:56,500
View.

6306
03:29:56,580 --> 03:29:57,780
But once you do that, you're good to

6307
03:29:57,780 --> 03:29:58,000
go.

6308
03:29:58,820 --> 03:30:00,000
I think this is a good tip.

6309
03:30:00,100 --> 03:30:01,540
And this is now, again, this is a

6310
03:30:01,540 --> 03:30:04,960
freeware, shareware, or is it open source?

6311
03:30:06,000 --> 03:30:07,360
It's shareware freeware.

6312
03:30:07,460 --> 03:30:08,160
It's not open source.

6313
03:30:08,440 --> 03:30:11,720
So you can donate to the creator of

6314
03:30:11,720 --> 03:30:12,480
this product?

6315
03:30:12,880 --> 03:30:14,220
Yeah, this has a donate button.

6316
03:30:14,300 --> 03:30:15,360
Okay, buy him a coffee.

6317
03:30:15,360 --> 03:30:17,160
I like paying for my software.

6318
03:30:17,260 --> 03:30:18,300
Excellent tip, everybody.

6319
03:30:18,440 --> 03:30:18,820
John C.

6320
03:30:18,860 --> 03:30:20,960
Dvorak comes through once again, and you cannot

6321
03:30:20,960 --> 03:30:22,680
criticize him for this tip of the day.

6322
03:30:29,400 --> 03:30:35,320
Well, you could, of course, criticize him, but

6323
03:30:35,320 --> 03:30:38,520
we will reject your criticism because that was

6324
03:30:38,520 --> 03:30:39,660
a good tip of the day.

6325
03:30:40,660 --> 03:30:42,320
Oh, there she is on time.

6326
03:30:42,320 --> 03:30:47,100
Tina the Keeper enters the studio, meaning I

6327
03:30:47,100 --> 03:30:48,180
got to get dressed for dinner.

6328
03:30:48,380 --> 03:30:49,840
So that means, yes, it does.

6329
03:30:50,380 --> 03:30:52,000
That's it for our broadcast day.

6330
03:30:52,100 --> 03:30:53,700
We would really like you to consider supporting

6331
03:30:53,700 --> 03:30:54,060
the show.

6332
03:30:54,180 --> 03:30:57,880
Go to noagendadonations.com Coming up next, we

6333
03:30:57,880 --> 03:31:01,280
have another fine podcast product, a real one.

6334
03:31:01,380 --> 03:31:03,120
And these guys don't have tats or doodly

6335
03:31:03,120 --> 03:31:03,460
sneakers.

6336
03:31:03,680 --> 03:31:04,760
It's random thoughts.

6337
03:31:05,420 --> 03:31:07,600
And this is episode 322, and they are

6338
03:31:07,600 --> 03:31:08,560
vibe coding.

6339
03:31:09,280 --> 03:31:11,120
Oh boy, I know what that is.

6340
03:31:11,120 --> 03:31:12,840
It's painful vibe coding.

6341
03:31:13,400 --> 03:31:13,800
End of show.

6342
03:31:13,860 --> 03:31:17,020
Mixing from Nautilus K, James Bosworth, and David

6343
03:31:17,020 --> 03:31:17,520
Kecta.

6344
03:31:17,900 --> 03:31:19,560
All bringing it home for you.

6345
03:31:19,720 --> 03:31:22,860
We will return on Sunday with another shorter

6346
03:31:22,860 --> 03:31:25,060
show, but we will bring you the media

6347
03:31:25,060 --> 03:31:27,340
deconstruction you need to stay sane.

6348
03:31:27,400 --> 03:31:28,900
Unless you're one of those people on TikTok.

6349
03:31:29,700 --> 03:31:30,900
Coming to you from the heart of the

6350
03:31:30,900 --> 03:31:32,620
Texas Hill Country, where we have a meetup

6351
03:31:32,620 --> 03:31:33,440
coming up tomorrow.

6352
03:31:33,880 --> 03:31:34,880
In the morning, everybody.

6353
03:31:35,200 --> 03:31:36,100
I'm Adam Curry.

6354
03:31:36,420 --> 03:31:38,480
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I am

6355
03:31:38,480 --> 03:31:38,980
out of here.

6356
03:31:39,500 --> 03:31:40,780
Oh, my head.

6357
03:31:40,780 --> 03:31:41,460
I'm John C.

6358
03:31:41,540 --> 03:31:41,920
Dvorak.

6359
03:31:42,020 --> 03:31:43,140
See you on Sunday, everybody.

6360
03:31:43,320 --> 03:31:46,140
Remember us at noagendadonations.com.

6361
03:31:46,200 --> 03:31:50,880
Until then, adios, mofos, hui, hui, and such.

6362
03:32:10,900 --> 03:32:13,840
A-1 teaching, you know, every year starting

6363
03:32:13,840 --> 03:32:15,460
that far down in the grades.

6364
03:32:15,620 --> 03:32:17,660
And that's just a, that's a wonderful thing.

6365
03:32:18,160 --> 03:32:20,920
A-1 teaching, A-A-A-A-1

6366
03:32:20,920 --> 03:32:25,220
teaching, A-1 teaching, A-A-A-A

6367
03:32:25,220 --> 03:32:25,840
-1 teaching.

6368
03:32:27,140 --> 03:32:29,200
There's a school system that's going to start

6369
03:32:29,200 --> 03:32:32,820
making sure that first graders, or even pre

6370
03:32:32,820 --> 03:32:35,720
-Ks, have A-1 teaching, you know, every

6371
03:32:35,720 --> 03:32:38,100
year starting that far down in the grades.

6372
03:32:38,240 --> 03:32:40,280
And that's just a, that's a wonderful thing.

6373
03:32:56,080 --> 03:33:00,350
We're going to have internet in our school.

6374
03:33:01,570 --> 03:33:03,110
A series of tools.

6375
03:33:03,370 --> 03:33:04,870
We're going to have internet in our school.

6376
03:33:06,410 --> 03:33:07,530
Artificial intelligence.

6377
03:33:07,830 --> 03:33:09,390
We're going to have internet in our school.

6378
03:33:10,710 --> 03:33:12,170
A series of tools.

6379
03:33:12,430 --> 03:33:13,910
We're going to have internet in our school.

6380
03:33:15,470 --> 03:33:16,590
Artificial intelligence.

6381
03:33:18,370 --> 03:33:22,450
A-1 teaching.

6382
03:33:33,110 --> 03:33:33,510
A-1 teaching.

6383
03:33:33,850 --> 03:33:34,070
A-1.

6384
03:33:34,170 --> 03:33:34,950
Kids are sponges.

6385
03:33:35,210 --> 03:33:36,550
We're going to have internet in our school.

6386
03:33:37,110 --> 03:33:37,770
A-1.

6387
03:33:39,720 --> 03:33:40,480
Artificial intelligence.

6388
03:33:41,880 --> 03:33:42,760
Artificial intelligence.

6389
03:33:42,820 --> 03:33:44,260
You talking about A-I?

6390
03:33:44,380 --> 03:33:45,600
We're going to have internet in our school.

6391
03:33:46,180 --> 03:33:47,360
A-1 teaching.

6392
03:33:48,640 --> 03:33:49,520
Artificial intelligence.

6393
03:33:53,070 --> 03:33:53,270
What?

6394
03:33:53,290 --> 03:33:54,670
We're going to have internet in our school.

6395
03:33:55,070 --> 03:33:56,710
And a couple of people got their tit

6396
03:33:56,710 --> 03:33:57,970
in the ring over your newsletter.

6397
03:33:58,570 --> 03:33:59,910
I felt bad about it.

6398
03:34:00,650 --> 03:34:01,730
A rare apology.

6399
03:34:02,190 --> 03:34:02,970
Well done, though.

6400
03:34:02,970 --> 03:34:06,070
You're like saying, I was wrong, Mea culpa.

6401
03:34:06,230 --> 03:34:08,450
The past month has been nothing but Honest

6402
03:34:08,450 --> 03:34:08,870
John.

6403
03:34:09,390 --> 03:34:11,330
Honest John, it's always been Honest John.

6404
03:34:11,930 --> 03:34:12,570
Honest John.

6405
03:34:14,090 --> 03:34:17,050
Wow, who are you, Honest John?

6406
03:34:18,290 --> 03:34:19,830
What, who are you?

6407
03:34:19,930 --> 03:34:20,530
Honest John.

6408
03:34:22,090 --> 03:34:24,210
Who are you, Honest John?

6409
03:34:25,190 --> 03:34:26,890
Wow, what, who are you?

6410
03:34:27,150 --> 03:34:27,430
Pfft.

6411
03:34:28,690 --> 03:34:28,970
Pfft.

6412
03:34:29,070 --> 03:34:29,170
Pfft.

6413
03:34:29,410 --> 03:34:30,450
Who are you?

6414
03:34:30,690 --> 03:34:32,410
Honest John, it's always been Honest John.

6415
03:34:32,410 --> 03:34:33,590
It's my old nickname.

6416
03:34:33,710 --> 03:34:34,630
They used to call me that in high

6417
03:34:34,630 --> 03:34:34,890
school.

6418
03:34:35,570 --> 03:34:36,070
Sure.

6419
03:34:37,830 --> 03:34:38,350
Sure.

6420
03:34:39,890 --> 03:34:40,410
Wow.

6421
03:34:40,650 --> 03:34:41,010
What are you?

6422
03:34:41,090 --> 03:34:41,750
Who are you?

6423
03:34:43,310 --> 03:34:43,970
Honest John.

6424
03:34:44,070 --> 03:34:45,110
It's always been Honest John.

6425
03:34:46,290 --> 03:34:47,690
They used to call me that in high

6426
03:34:47,690 --> 03:34:47,970
school.

6427
03:35:02,410 --> 03:35:03,970
I felt bad about it.

6428
03:35:04,130 --> 03:35:06,050
I thought it would make up for the

6429
03:35:06,050 --> 03:35:06,570
clip.

6430
03:35:07,250 --> 03:35:08,290
Not at all.

6431
03:35:14,910 --> 03:35:15,970
But hold on.

6432
03:35:16,370 --> 03:35:19,690
Your No Agenda show has actual people who

6433
03:35:19,690 --> 03:35:21,930
work in the places where the bullcrap is

6434
03:35:21,930 --> 03:35:22,650
taking place.

6435
03:36:02,390 --> 03:36:03,810
You're not tech billionaires.

6436
03:36:04,050 --> 03:36:06,130
What tech billionaire owns major media?

6437
03:36:08,710 --> 03:36:09,990
It's all a lie.

6438
03:36:12,290 --> 03:36:13,770
You're not tech billionaires.

6439
03:36:14,670 --> 03:36:15,950
No, no, that's not true.

6440
03:36:16,070 --> 03:36:17,050
It's all a lie.

6441
03:36:18,550 --> 03:36:19,750
You're not tech billionaires.

6442
03:36:20,570 --> 03:36:21,930
No, no, that's not true.
