1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,080
I don't need the aggravation of ear mold.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,080
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:05,640
Dvorak.

4
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,660
It's the early August 21st, 2025.

5
00:00:08,020 --> 00:00:09,720
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media

6
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,020
Assassination Episode 1792.

7
00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:13,860
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,340
We have a dry latch.

9
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,900
And we're broadcasting live from the heart of

10
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:21,960
the Texas Hill Country, here in FEMA Region

11
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:22,640
Number 6.

12
00:00:22,780 --> 00:00:23,720
Good morning, everybody.

13
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:25,020
I'm Adam Curry.

14
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,900
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we applaud

15
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:29,060
President Trump.

16
00:00:29,060 --> 00:00:30,080
Going on patrol.

17
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:31,520
I'm John C.

18
00:00:31,619 --> 00:00:31,940
Dvorak.

19
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,120
It's Claggott and Buzzkill.

20
00:00:34,340 --> 00:00:35,360
In the morning.

21
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:36,700
And what did I miss?

22
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:37,380
He went on patrol?

23
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:40,280
No, he's going on patrol tonight.

24
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:43,900
Oh, is he doing a ride-along?

25
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:49,640
Yeah, in D.C. That's great.

26
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:50,520
He just came out this morning.

27
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,840
What's great is that people in other cities

28
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,980
are going, hey, hey, hey, President Trump, come

29
00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:55,920
do that in our city.

30
00:00:57,140 --> 00:00:58,300
It's going to catch on.

31
00:00:58,380 --> 00:00:58,740
You watch.

32
00:00:58,740 --> 00:01:01,280
It's going to catch on so far because

33
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,180
he actually has the authority to do it

34
00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:06,120
in D.C. He doesn't have the authority

35
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,520
to do it in San Francisco to this

36
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,100
extreme.

37
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,120
No, but he has.

38
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:12,320
This is about the crime bill.

39
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,720
It's going to be the Trump.

40
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:14,480
Hold on a second.

41
00:01:14,820 --> 00:01:16,880
The Trump Crime Bill, Batman.

42
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,000
That's what it's going to be.

43
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:21,280
And you only got to hope that it

44
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,560
turns out right, because other crime bills in

45
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,960
the past, like that of 1992, it's not

46
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:26,700
such a good deal.

47
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,380
Although now they're kind of, the Democrats are

48
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:33,740
kind of bragging about those old crime bills

49
00:01:33,740 --> 00:01:35,120
by Clinton and Biden.

50
00:01:35,780 --> 00:01:36,280
Yeah.

51
00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:39,480
Well, Trump's not doing anything new.

52
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:42,660
Crime was really reduced because of Clinton.

53
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,700
What?

54
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,300
The 92 Crime Bill, of course, incarcerated over

55
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:50,640
a million black men for smoking weed.

56
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:51,680
Weed.

57
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,260
So the minute you see a kid on

58
00:01:54,260 --> 00:01:58,140
the front of Time Magazine or Time website,

59
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,540
where you're holding an Uzi, smoking a spliff,

60
00:02:03,660 --> 00:02:06,160
then you know that, then you know they're

61
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,460
serious about the crime bill.

62
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:08,900
Because that's what it was.

63
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,340
Lil, what was the kid's name?

64
00:02:11,940 --> 00:02:15,560
From the 90s, oh man, Moe, Moe, Moe,

65
00:02:15,620 --> 00:02:16,640
where are you when I need you?

66
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:20,140
Lil, Lil, what was it?

67
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:20,660
Lil Abby.

68
00:02:20,660 --> 00:02:23,660
No, no, it was not Lil Abner.

69
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:24,160
Lil Billy.

70
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,740
No, it was- Lil Duncan.

71
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,740
No, someone in the troll room should know

72
00:02:27,740 --> 00:02:28,300
by now.

73
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:29,680
I don't even know.

74
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:31,580
Yeah, it was the Lil Yummy.

75
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:32,160
Thank you.

76
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:32,800
Lil Yummy.

77
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,800
It was like a nine-year-old gang

78
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,140
member, Lil Yankee.

79
00:02:37,580 --> 00:02:41,360
Lil Yummy was on the cover of Time

80
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:41,900
Magazine.

81
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,520
And that was the whole impetus.

82
00:02:44,380 --> 00:02:45,900
Yeah, that was when Hillary Clinton was out

83
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:49,140
there saying, you know, um, these, did she

84
00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:50,300
say degenerates?

85
00:02:51,060 --> 00:02:52,940
No, it was- Something like that.

86
00:02:55,260 --> 00:02:56,940
Hey, how good are we?

87
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,720
Two forgetful boomers.

88
00:03:00,740 --> 00:03:02,680
So that was, that was the, it was

89
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,340
the Biden crime bill.

90
00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:07,720
Then, I'm sorry, 90, not 92, 94.

91
00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:09,280
94 Biden crime bill.

92
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,560
What was Clinton's phrase?

93
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:13,880
She used, it was exploit, the term was

94
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,420
a synonym for exploitative.

95
00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:19,660
It was, um, Clinton.

96
00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:20,600
I'd have to ask her.

97
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,160
Well, there's only one way to go.

98
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,660
Yeah, you got your buddy there.

99
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,440
Why don't you ask her?

100
00:03:24,580 --> 00:03:24,780
Okay.

101
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,780
The 1994, uh, Biden crime bill.

102
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:32,600
What did Hillary Clinton call the perpetrators like

103
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,200
Lil Yummy?

104
00:03:36,220 --> 00:03:38,000
Oh, she called them super predators.

105
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,020
There you go, super predators.

106
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:40,860
Thank you.

107
00:03:40,900 --> 00:03:42,800
We don't need to remember anything.

108
00:03:43,380 --> 00:03:44,540
We've got error.

109
00:03:44,860 --> 00:03:46,260
We've got error here.

110
00:03:46,260 --> 00:03:47,700
Super predators.

111
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,300
Error.

112
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,460
Her name's Error.

113
00:03:49,540 --> 00:03:50,720
That's her name now, Error.

114
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,780
Does she make mistakes?

115
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,320
You think?

116
00:03:54,220 --> 00:03:54,740
Error.

117
00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:56,820
Error, error.

118
00:03:57,060 --> 00:03:59,920
Yeah, everyone's publishing articles now.

119
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:01,780
It seems to be the new, new thing

120
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,020
to publish articles about the AI hype being

121
00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:04,380
over.

122
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:06,900
Yeah.

123
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,820
Oh, that means it's not over.

124
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,600
I, I'm in agreement with you when they

125
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,220
say it's, because you know, it's Altman.

126
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,500
Altman is coming out and he's saying, oh,

127
00:04:15,620 --> 00:04:17,019
you know, the LA Times.

128
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,220
Say farewell to the AI bubble.

129
00:04:20,779 --> 00:04:22,360
Get ready for the crash.

130
00:04:22,620 --> 00:04:24,760
Well, he never said say farewell to the

131
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:24,940
bubble.

132
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,420
He just said there is a bubble.

133
00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:28,820
Well, no, this is the headline from the

134
00:04:28,820 --> 00:04:29,780
Los Angeles Times.

135
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:30,740
I didn't, it's not cool.

136
00:04:30,860 --> 00:04:31,680
They're making it up.

137
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,440
It's not in quotation marks.

138
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:35,500
He's just saying it.

139
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,660
He's just saying now.

140
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,540
Well, he's not saying that he's saying it's

141
00:04:38,540 --> 00:04:38,900
a bubble.

142
00:04:38,980 --> 00:04:41,100
He's not saying the bubble's over about the

143
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:41,320
birds.

144
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:41,800
Correct.

145
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:42,200
Correct.

146
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,640
They're the ones saying that.

147
00:04:43,820 --> 00:04:44,820
The thing though.

148
00:04:44,820 --> 00:04:48,060
Um, and if I was a newspaper, I'd

149
00:04:48,060 --> 00:04:49,160
say stuff like that too.

150
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,740
I'm a little conflicted because I got a

151
00:04:53,740 --> 00:04:58,340
report from CBS, which plays right into, I

152
00:04:58,340 --> 00:05:01,380
would hope the Gen Z's that you and

153
00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:04,640
I have raised in these past 18 years,

154
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,320
because we have raised a nation, John.

155
00:05:06,580 --> 00:05:09,040
We have raised a generation of smart thinking

156
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:09,500
kids.

157
00:05:10,380 --> 00:05:12,380
This is where you say, yes, indeed, Adam.

158
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,280
They're fabulous.

159
00:05:14,820 --> 00:05:17,540
And I hope that they have heeded our

160
00:05:17,540 --> 00:05:20,700
advice throughout the years through our complaints about

161
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:24,440
lack of shop and home ec and other

162
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,580
trades and apprenticeships.

163
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,220
And maybe a few, maybe a few have

164
00:05:29,220 --> 00:05:31,980
thought about it because those who have listened

165
00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:35,640
to the boomer show are about to get

166
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,000
rich.

167
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,800
Brandon Fry feels squeezed by two businesses trending

168
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,140
in opposite directions.

169
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:43,760
Data centers, such as this one he manages

170
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,140
outside Chicago, come along with soaring demand.

171
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,060
Everything in here needs servicing.

172
00:05:49,420 --> 00:05:50,660
Everything in here needs service.

173
00:05:50,860 --> 00:05:54,740
Tech support, tech support, HVAC support, electricians.

174
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:57,800
But the supply of technical support he needs

175
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,560
available 24 seven keeps shrinking.

176
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,220
What your customers don't want to hear is

177
00:06:03,220 --> 00:06:04,620
we can't find somebody for them.

178
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,360
That's the last thing they want to hear.

179
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,280
And that will be the last conversation we

180
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:09,620
likely have with them as a customer.

181
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,100
Data centers now compete with factories and manufacturing

182
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:15,260
plants for electricians and plumbers.

183
00:06:17,180 --> 00:06:20,840
As older blue collar workers retire, younger people

184
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:23,580
look at college and white collar jobs.

185
00:06:24,380 --> 00:06:25,620
It's a growing labor crisis.

186
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,820
Roughly 400,000 skilled trade jobs are unfilled

187
00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:30,380
in America.

188
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,920
By 2033, it's estimated that number could hit

189
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,320
close to two million.

190
00:06:36,180 --> 00:06:38,420
Now, listen to the numbers, what kind of

191
00:06:38,420 --> 00:06:40,640
money you can make as a plumber with

192
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,400
your butt crack.

193
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:41,980
It's awesome.

194
00:06:42,180 --> 00:06:43,100
You got to be able to do more

195
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:43,560
with less.

196
00:06:44,060 --> 00:06:46,680
Matt Roseland, an executive for a software company

197
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,760
called IFS.

198
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:48,280
I'm sorry.

199
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,900
First, you got to get some tech guy

200
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:51,800
and shove it in here for no reason

201
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:52,400
in the story.

202
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:55,060
Says new technology is one solution.

203
00:06:55,260 --> 00:06:57,300
And you can see this is changing dynamically.

204
00:06:57,740 --> 00:07:00,600
His company sells this program that helps companies

205
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,540
route and reroute their fleet of technicians.

206
00:07:04,140 --> 00:07:07,200
You can take things like weather, traffic, different

207
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,560
priorities, and add that on top.

208
00:07:10,860 --> 00:07:12,420
When you think about the labor shortages that

209
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:14,220
are out there, and you want to create

210
00:07:14,220 --> 00:07:16,420
more efficiencies and do more with less, this

211
00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:17,300
is how that's going to happen.

212
00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:21,880
Back at the data center, Dan Brown knows

213
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,120
there's a labor crisis.

214
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,100
We're always looking for good people to hire.

215
00:07:25,540 --> 00:07:27,220
But doesn't understand it.

216
00:07:27,660 --> 00:07:30,940
He told us in Chicago, experienced HVAC technicians

217
00:07:30,940 --> 00:07:35,920
make more than $150,000 without student debt.

218
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,620
The trace kind of got neglected.

219
00:07:38,420 --> 00:07:40,940
So now there's a void that needs to

220
00:07:40,940 --> 00:07:41,380
be filled.

221
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,720
And you're busier than ever.

222
00:07:43,020 --> 00:07:43,640
Oh, absolutely.

223
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,240
Across the floor, electrician Kevin Fishback sees hope.

224
00:07:48,660 --> 00:07:52,300
His local union's aggressively recruiting young workers for

225
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:53,580
its apprenticeship program.

226
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:56,180
They come into trades and they got insurance.

227
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:57,360
They got health care.

228
00:07:57,620 --> 00:07:58,400
They got a pension.

229
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,000
That's an update with power for Brandon Frye.

230
00:08:02,020 --> 00:08:03,780
That this career path is out there and

231
00:08:03,780 --> 00:08:05,500
it is a valuable career path to take.

232
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,520
But for now, the data's in and it's

233
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,420
unmistakable.

234
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:11,640
Help wanted.

235
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,300
For Eye on America, I'm Mark Strassman in

236
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:15,620
Chicago.

237
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,060
And of course, we want to thank President

238
00:08:18,060 --> 00:08:20,300
Obama for telling everybody to learn how to

239
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:20,680
code.

240
00:08:20,860 --> 00:08:21,420
Good job.

241
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:22,640
Good job.

242
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,220
Which was the worst advice ever, it looks

243
00:08:25,220 --> 00:08:25,540
like.

244
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,500
Good job, President Obama.

245
00:08:28,060 --> 00:08:28,620
No.

246
00:08:29,020 --> 00:08:30,640
And I think you can still just jump

247
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:31,520
in on an apprenticeship.

248
00:08:31,740 --> 00:08:34,440
I'm sure that there's plumbers and HVAC companies

249
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,799
out there that would love to have a

250
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:37,000
few.

251
00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:39,120
There's not as many as there should be.

252
00:08:39,220 --> 00:08:40,059
That's the real problem.

253
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,880
The idea of apprenticeships has gone out of

254
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,240
favor.

255
00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:46,960
The apprenticeship has sailed?

256
00:08:47,540 --> 00:08:48,860
No, it's gone out of favor.

257
00:08:50,420 --> 00:08:53,780
Well, you know, when they see the demand

258
00:08:53,780 --> 00:08:56,440
for people, I'm pretty sure that they're going

259
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:56,600
to.

260
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,560
Oh, no, it has to come back.

261
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,120
It's always been there.

262
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,620
It's how it works.

263
00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:03,380
You really can't graduate from high school as

264
00:09:03,380 --> 00:09:04,020
a plumber.

265
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:06,900
You can't graduate from college as a plumber.

266
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:07,460
No.

267
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:09,200
You have to be shown how to be

268
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,460
one by someone who knows how to do

269
00:09:11,460 --> 00:09:13,120
it right and professionally.

270
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,620
I'll tell you, if this gig comes to

271
00:09:15,620 --> 00:09:17,120
an end, I'm going into plumbing.

272
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,460
Plumbing 2.0. Well, yes.

273
00:09:29,580 --> 00:09:33,460
Meanwhile, we know that the bubble has to

274
00:09:33,460 --> 00:09:37,220
be kept afloat and inflating at all costs.

275
00:09:37,940 --> 00:09:39,360
The bubble's going to get bigger than a

276
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,560
lot of people like to imagine.

277
00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:43,060
Well, it has to because according to Bloomberg

278
00:09:43,060 --> 00:09:45,140
surveillance, we need it.

279
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,440
How do you think about GDP?

280
00:09:46,860 --> 00:09:49,460
Well, you know, everybody has, I guess, redefined

281
00:09:49,460 --> 00:09:52,500
what reasonable is or what Jay Powell describes

282
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:55,200
as solid when we're barely running the economy

283
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,260
so far this year, barely over a 1

284
00:09:58,260 --> 00:09:59,300
% annual rate.

285
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:00,960
I mean, when I started in the business

286
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,060
in the mid-80s, you got down to

287
00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:05,100
a one handle on real GDP growth and

288
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:06,600
people were talking about reasonable.

289
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,620
People were talking about stall speed and then

290
00:10:08,620 --> 00:10:10,200
asking, when's the recession going to start?

291
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,480
The economy, I think, is sputtering.

292
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:13,720
It's uneven.

293
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:17,300
You know, without the proliferation of AI data

294
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:20,520
centers and all the technology spending related to

295
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,760
generative AI, the economy would actually be in

296
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,740
recession right now.

297
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,500
Yeah, I believe it.

298
00:10:26,980 --> 00:10:28,080
I believe it.

299
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,780
We need all these data centers and everything.

300
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:33,540
Of course, it's unfortunate that people are paying

301
00:10:33,540 --> 00:10:35,500
for it and paying for your stupid chat

302
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:38,980
GPT by your electric bill and utilities doubling.

303
00:10:40,220 --> 00:10:42,680
I wonder when that riot is going to

304
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:43,040
start.

305
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,280
It has to.

306
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,280
It has to.

307
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,500
People aren't going to take it anymore.

308
00:10:51,300 --> 00:10:53,220
Yeah, well, it's easy for you to say.

309
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,520
Yeah, it's easy for me to say because

310
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,300
it's true.

311
00:10:58,420 --> 00:11:00,480
When people, when they're like, I think it

312
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,580
was like in Indiana alone, 80,000 people

313
00:11:03,580 --> 00:11:05,540
got switched off because they couldn't pay their

314
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:06,600
bill, which had doubled.

315
00:11:07,660 --> 00:11:09,600
At a certain point, people get pretty antsy

316
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,400
about that stuff.

317
00:11:11,980 --> 00:11:13,320
Yeah, well, who are they going to take

318
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:13,820
it out on?

319
00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:18,120
Their city council, their mayor, their city manager.

320
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,480
The mayor and city council don't.

321
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:21,520
City manager.

322
00:11:22,020 --> 00:11:22,860
Except in some cities.

323
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:25,640
But generally speaking, they don't determine the rates

324
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,480
of the PG&E, for example, in California,

325
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:30,600
which is who's the head of PG&E

326
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,200
working some woman.

327
00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:37,720
Yeah, well, hey, Luigi, Luigi, Luigi.

328
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,200
This is where we're at in our culture

329
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:41,780
right now.

330
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,540
No, they have to suppress that.

331
00:11:44,020 --> 00:11:46,820
Wow, you are just so positive about everything

332
00:11:46,820 --> 00:11:47,980
going great, aren't you?

333
00:11:48,780 --> 00:11:50,720
I'm just telling you, these things are harder

334
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,200
to do than you think.

335
00:11:52,460 --> 00:11:53,300
Ah, in California.

336
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,280
Like what do people do with their high

337
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,560
gas and electric bill?

338
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,060
They stop using their power.

339
00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:00,820
And then they just say, OK, well, let's

340
00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:01,740
freeze to death.

341
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,200
Buy more sweaters.

342
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,400
All right, buy more sweaters.

343
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,880
Put it in the Red Book.

344
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:07,920
Riot's coming.

345
00:12:08,460 --> 00:12:09,760
Riot's coming, I'm telling you.

346
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:11,940
It has to be that way.

347
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,800
We're Americans, ultimately.

348
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,220
Now, and then what after the riots, what

349
00:12:16,220 --> 00:12:16,960
are they going to do about it?

350
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,140
PG&E can document that fact that because

351
00:12:20,140 --> 00:12:23,940
of their old power lines in the woods

352
00:12:23,940 --> 00:12:26,600
and the fact that they caught a bunch

353
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,740
of places on fire, burned numerous millions of

354
00:12:30,740 --> 00:12:31,780
acres to the ground.

355
00:12:32,340 --> 00:12:35,320
And is it their fault that the line

356
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,500
sparked because of a tree?

357
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,580
Or is it the fault of the California

358
00:12:38,580 --> 00:12:42,280
people that don't do forest management anymore?

359
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,320
They stopped doing it.

360
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,320
Or is it the fault of people like

361
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,140
Gavin Newsom who drained this?

362
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:48,680
He didn't drain the swamp.

363
00:12:48,740 --> 00:12:49,880
He drained the reservoirs.

364
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:52,720
He actually tore down two or three dams.

365
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,600
Whose fault is that?

366
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:54,720
Is that PG&E's fault?

367
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,300
Is that the reason that the race have

368
00:12:57,300 --> 00:12:57,560
gone up?

369
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,580
No, it's Gavin Newsom's fault.

370
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:01,080
And who's riding against him?

371
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,900
The Democrats are supporting him.

372
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:05,920
Well, you're talking about California the whole time.

373
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,380
California is not America.

374
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,720
That's a whole different deal.

375
00:13:09,020 --> 00:13:09,960
California, that's the problem.

376
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:11,340
California is America.

377
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,740
You know, if California was Texas, we'd be

378
00:13:15,740 --> 00:13:16,800
better off.

379
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,540
Although we're trying to be Texas.

380
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,100
Oh, let's do whatever Texas is doing.

381
00:13:21,220 --> 00:13:22,440
Let's copy that.

382
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,560
Oh, Texas is going to gerrymander like we

383
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:27,940
always have done.

384
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,400
So let's do our gerrymandering worse.

385
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,160
Let's make us look like Massachusetts where we

386
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,840
have no Republicans in any office whatsoever, you

387
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,720
know, by cheating.

388
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,920
And then pointing the finger at Texas.

389
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,300
This is bullcrap.

390
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:43,480
Well, let me give you...

391
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,580
That's what I got to say.

392
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:45,500
Let me...

393
00:13:46,380 --> 00:13:47,100
All right.

394
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,140
Well, we'll get off the topic of California.

395
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,160
Allow me to play a few clips here

396
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,260
from what is happening in the United Kingdom,

397
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,000
which has not come to violence yet, but

398
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:58,680
it's brewing.

399
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,640
And I've been around long enough.

400
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,080
I remember those thin British coming down from

401
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,100
the north to London with their pitchforks and

402
00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:06,820
their torches.

403
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,720
It was not a pretty sight.

404
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,260
And it's beginning now with Operation Raise the

405
00:14:13,260 --> 00:14:13,720
Colors.

406
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,680
Have you heard of this?

407
00:14:16,060 --> 00:14:17,620
Okay, you got me on this one.

408
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:18,200
Here we go.

409
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:19,340
This is Marshall...

410
00:14:19,340 --> 00:14:20,180
Winston Marshall.

411
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,520
He's a YouTuber, but he's a professional YouTuber.

412
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,980
Over the weekend, a quiet revolution swept Britain.

413
00:14:27,140 --> 00:14:28,700
And if you only watch the mainstream media,

414
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,060
you might never have known.

415
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,040
It is the Raising the Colors movement.

416
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:35,040
Up and down the country, flags are being

417
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,400
hoisted and our streets are being adorned with

418
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,460
the cross of St. George, the Union flag.

419
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,540
Even roundabouts are being painted.

420
00:14:41,660 --> 00:14:43,440
The good people of the United Kingdom, in

421
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,840
their calm, collected way, standing up.

422
00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:48,000
And of course, those of the establishment and

423
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,020
the regressive left, who are not completely ignoring

424
00:14:51,020 --> 00:14:53,300
this movement, are doing what they can to

425
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:54,000
undermine it.

426
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,640
You get something called Operation Raise the Colors.

427
00:14:57,700 --> 00:14:59,460
That sounds very military.

428
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,580
It sounds very aggressive.

429
00:15:01,860 --> 00:15:03,240
People aren't putting up this flag to celebrate

430
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:03,580
Britain.

431
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,280
They're putting up this flag to remind us

432
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,760
that Britain is white and we shouldn't be

433
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:06,940
here.

434
00:15:06,940 --> 00:15:09,400
When the BBC reported on the roundabout, they

435
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,120
ran the headline roundabouts vandalized to look like

436
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,180
St. George's flags.

437
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,740
Contrast that with rainbow zebra crossings appear in

438
00:15:16,740 --> 00:15:17,180
resort.

439
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,800
This morning, footage of Birmingham council frantically trying

440
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,400
to paint over the St. George's roundabout emerged.

441
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,820
At least two councils are working fast to

442
00:15:26,820 --> 00:15:28,840
take down the flags because they are deemed,

443
00:15:28,980 --> 00:15:31,340
quote unquote, dangerous and to be putting the

444
00:15:31,340 --> 00:15:34,440
lives of motorists and pedestrians at risk.

445
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,480
So the government and the mainstream, everyone's trying

446
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,300
to cover it up.

447
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,840
Don't show those flags, take those flags down.

448
00:15:41,980 --> 00:15:43,300
By the way, you try that in America.

449
00:15:43,540 --> 00:15:46,420
If the city started to take down American

450
00:15:46,420 --> 00:15:51,660
flags, that would not go over.

451
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,700
So listen to where this is happening.

452
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,560
And of course, how it started is kind

453
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,040
of well known.

454
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,780
There's a lot more going on here than

455
00:15:57,780 --> 00:15:58,760
meets the eye.

456
00:15:58,900 --> 00:16:00,760
The British are a people with a tradition

457
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,860
of being subtle with their patriotism.

458
00:16:02,940 --> 00:16:04,140
That seems to be changing.

459
00:16:04,140 --> 00:16:05,680
For good reason, which I'll explain.

460
00:16:05,820 --> 00:16:07,160
But let's have a look at how this

461
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,380
movement came about.

462
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,560
This does not come out of nowhere.

463
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,540
Through July and August, anti-immigration protests have

464
00:16:13,540 --> 00:16:16,780
taken place outside of government-funded migrant hotels

465
00:16:16,780 --> 00:16:18,520
up and down the nation.

466
00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:22,440
London, Warwickshire, Solihull, Altrincham, Bournemouth, Aldershot, Ashfield,

467
00:16:22,580 --> 00:16:26,660
Southampton, Portsmouth, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Liverpool, Newcastle,

468
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:27,060
Norwich.

469
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,200
Criminal incidents by those claiming asylum in local

470
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,440
migrant hotels inspired the local communities to take

471
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,120
the streets.

472
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:36,520
Perhaps most famous of all was at the

473
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,120
Bell Hotel in Epping, where protests were sparked

474
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,580
by the arrest and charging of an asylum

475
00:16:41,580 --> 00:16:44,440
seeker, Hadoush Kabatu, a 41-year-old from

476
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,840
Ethiopia, who was accused of sexually assaulting a

477
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,740
14-year-old girl.

478
00:16:47,820 --> 00:16:50,720
The alleged incident occurred shortly after Kabatu arrived

479
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,760
in the UK via a small boat, and

480
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,600
he was residing at the Bell Hotel in

481
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,760
Epping, Essex, which was being used to house

482
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:57,420
asylum seekers.

483
00:16:57,500 --> 00:17:00,440
The protests began following his court appearance in

484
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:00,740
July.

485
00:17:00,740 --> 00:17:03,319
This, of course, comes after years of pent

486
00:17:03,319 --> 00:17:05,819
-up anguish and frustration felt by British people

487
00:17:05,819 --> 00:17:08,400
because of sexual abuse by legal and illegal

488
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,200
immigrants, asylum seekers, and communities of immigrant heritage.

489
00:17:12,339 --> 00:17:15,200
Most notably, of course, the rape gang scandal.

490
00:17:15,339 --> 00:17:17,900
The 2023 Knowsley Riots, which began because the

491
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:19,880
police failed to deal with advances on a

492
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,760
local girl by a man from a migrant

493
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,480
hotel, were a violent early example of such

494
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,060
protests.

495
00:17:25,220 --> 00:17:27,540
So this is just the UK starting this.

496
00:17:27,540 --> 00:17:29,820
This is starting to bubble under in every

497
00:17:29,820 --> 00:17:32,140
single European Union member state.

498
00:17:33,020 --> 00:17:34,600
Okay, so that's just flags.

499
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,460
But when the grannies come out, this is

500
00:17:39,460 --> 00:17:40,480
when you got to be careful.

501
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,580
The pink ladies are in effect.

502
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,540
As with the grooming gang scandal, it wasn't

503
00:17:44,540 --> 00:17:46,940
just the illegal behavior and sexual misconduct of

504
00:17:46,940 --> 00:17:50,060
the immigrants which inspired the protests, but also

505
00:17:50,060 --> 00:17:52,260
the authorities' mishandling of affairs.

506
00:17:52,460 --> 00:17:54,880
Now, amongst all of these latest protests were

507
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,660
the pink ladies.

508
00:17:56,660 --> 00:17:59,960
British mums uniting to defend their daughters and

509
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:00,380
children.

510
00:18:00,580 --> 00:18:02,520
And this really might be the turning point

511
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:03,020
for Britain.

512
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,880
When the mums get involved, it's serious.

513
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,600
One of the organizers, Lorraine Cavanagh, explained.

514
00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:15,000
We are mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters who wanted

515
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,400
to protect our family.

516
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:19,660
We don't hate these men.

517
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,960
We don't hate these men at all.

518
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:24,120
What we hate is what the government has

519
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:24,440
done.

520
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:30,900
You know, we witness pensioners going up to

521
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:34,600
the local supermarket, getting a basket and looking

522
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,920
for the red stickers for reduced labels to

523
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:37,520
get a bit of meat.

524
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:43,080
And then we witness these guys, 20s, 30s,

525
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,360
getting three meals a day in an unlimited

526
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:50,340
time, four-star hotel in Egyptian streets, you

527
00:18:50,340 --> 00:18:51,700
know, mobile phones.

528
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:53,920
And now I'm understood they get a £500

529
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,060
voucher to get clothing.

530
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:57,620
And it's unfair.

531
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,980
And that's why we were standing up, because

532
00:18:59,980 --> 00:19:00,600
it's unfair.

533
00:19:00,980 --> 00:19:01,920
Not because of the men.

534
00:19:02,220 --> 00:19:05,020
No doubt, half of them would go nowhere

535
00:19:05,020 --> 00:19:05,780
near our children.

536
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,460
But not one of them women are going

537
00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:10,380
to play roulette with their child's life.

538
00:19:10,860 --> 00:19:12,320
You got to watch out when the British

539
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,240
grannies come out.

540
00:19:13,660 --> 00:19:14,380
What are you going to do?

541
00:19:14,540 --> 00:19:15,780
You going to mow them down?

542
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:17,940
Yeah, mow them down.

543
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:18,840
Shoot them?

544
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,160
Spray them with water?

545
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,020
What always remains is that the similarity between,

546
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,060
besides even a drag queen story hour, which

547
00:19:28,060 --> 00:19:31,980
appears in the EU, appears in Great Britain,

548
00:19:32,180 --> 00:19:34,620
or the fact that you have immigrants that

549
00:19:34,620 --> 00:19:37,660
are given cell phones and cash vouchers or

550
00:19:37,660 --> 00:19:41,080
credit cards in the EU, in Great Britain,

551
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,200
and here, what is the connection?

552
00:19:44,340 --> 00:19:46,100
There has to be some sort of international

553
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:49,920
connection, because you don't have these phenomenon in

554
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,420
these discrepant areas, specifically in Western areas, the

555
00:19:54,420 --> 00:19:59,060
United States, the UK, EU, the exact same

556
00:19:59,060 --> 00:20:02,380
phenomenon where migrants are invited in one way

557
00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:06,060
or another, given free cash, given free cell

558
00:20:06,060 --> 00:20:10,700
phones, given free accommodations here and there and

559
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:11,140
everywhere.

560
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,280
Who's coordinating this?

561
00:20:14,420 --> 00:20:16,880
Well, that is coordinated by the globalists.

562
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:17,160
Yes.

563
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,740
But who specifically?

564
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,500
This is ridiculous that nobody, I mean, I'm

565
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:24,400
surprised that people have put up with this

566
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,600
for as long as they have.

567
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,060
Well, it started a long time ago with

568
00:20:30,060 --> 00:20:33,380
political correctness, where people were told to shut

569
00:20:33,380 --> 00:20:36,440
up, don't say anything mean or nasty, and

570
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,860
it just got worse and worse.

571
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,680
And then we threw in some BLM, and

572
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,980
everything with color became an issue, and cheap

573
00:20:44,980 --> 00:20:45,280
labor.

574
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,980
Ultimately, it's cheap labor.

575
00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:50,200
And when I say cheap labor, not just

576
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,760
in some factory, of which there's not that

577
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,360
much left anymore in Europe, but cheap labor

578
00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:58,320
in the kitchen, cheap labor to do your

579
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,480
lawn, cheap labor to wash your car, cheap,

580
00:21:00,540 --> 00:21:01,520
cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap labor.

581
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,000
Keep all of your kids on, it's about

582
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:04,280
money.

583
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,000
Keep all of your kids in debt for

584
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,020
education, you know, jack everything up.

585
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,320
It's about money.

586
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,160
Now, so who is that?

587
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,740
Obviously, the Jewish bankers.

588
00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:19,260
I mean, what answer do you want from

589
00:21:19,260 --> 00:21:19,380
me?

590
00:21:19,420 --> 00:21:20,620
We all know the answer.

591
00:21:20,740 --> 00:21:22,240
First of all, I don't think it's about

592
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,480
money, because half of these guys are on

593
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:27,900
welfare.

594
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,680
It's about breaking the backs of Western civilization.

595
00:21:33,380 --> 00:21:33,900
Right.

596
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,020
It's not about money.

597
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,300
I mean, half these migrants aren't doing the

598
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:42,520
law on anybody's lawn.

599
00:21:42,620 --> 00:21:43,320
That's nonsense.

600
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,900
People can do their own damn lawn.

601
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,100
People can do their own laundry.

602
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,200
All the things that they say, oh, who's

603
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,020
going to clean your toilets?

604
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:50,140
Clean your own damn toilets.

605
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,480
Have you been to the UK recently?

606
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,860
No, I haven't been since 2017.

607
00:21:56,180 --> 00:21:56,440
Okay.

608
00:21:57,380 --> 00:21:59,720
But that's fairly recently, and it was pretty

609
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:00,340
bad then.

610
00:22:00,380 --> 00:22:01,380
It's accelerated.

611
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:02,180
It's accelerated.

612
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,340
Yeah, well, it's accelerated under Biden in this

613
00:22:05,340 --> 00:22:05,700
country.

614
00:22:05,820 --> 00:22:06,140
Yes.

615
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,020
When they let in 20 million immigrants.

616
00:22:08,140 --> 00:22:08,520
Yes.

617
00:22:09,060 --> 00:22:11,780
That didn't do anything but take away apartment

618
00:22:11,780 --> 00:22:12,660
complexes.

619
00:22:12,660 --> 00:22:13,500
All right, stop.

620
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,820
So then it's about political power.

621
00:22:16,020 --> 00:22:17,180
If you want to equate it to what

622
00:22:17,180 --> 00:22:19,040
happened here, we have a first row seat.

623
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,080
It was about redistricting, getting more, in this

624
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,120
case, Democrat seats and illegal voters.

625
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,340
So isn't it ultimately about power?

626
00:22:29,340 --> 00:22:30,840
And isn't power about money?

627
00:22:30,860 --> 00:22:32,060
Or is it just about power?

628
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,300
No, power is about power.

629
00:22:33,420 --> 00:22:34,940
So they can sit there and stroke their

630
00:22:34,940 --> 00:22:37,900
white pussy and go, I control you all,

631
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:38,560
you plebs.

632
00:22:39,260 --> 00:22:39,740
Possibly.

633
00:22:40,220 --> 00:22:41,720
I think it's closer to that.

634
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,720
But then who, who is behind it?

635
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,480
Well, it's definitely socialist Marxists and Democrats.

636
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:48,240
That's it.

637
00:22:48,340 --> 00:22:49,980
And I think that is, I was thinking

638
00:22:49,980 --> 00:22:53,160
about this the other day, that the whole

639
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:59,120
world, even humanity itself, naturally migrates towards socialism

640
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:01,940
and Marxism until it's too late and they

641
00:23:01,940 --> 00:23:04,300
figure out, oops, that wasn't a great idea.

642
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,660
Because the alternative, which is a republic and

643
00:23:08,660 --> 00:23:12,660
freedom, like the United States originally was, is

644
00:23:12,660 --> 00:23:13,940
not comfortable.

645
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,260
It's a little scary.

646
00:23:15,940 --> 00:23:18,440
You know, you might have to get your

647
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,160
hands dirty to make, keep things the way

648
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:21,940
you want it to be.

649
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,740
So I think that it's almost human nature,

650
00:23:24,860 --> 00:23:26,220
like, well, you know, but I just want

651
00:23:26,220 --> 00:23:26,960
someone to take care of me.

652
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,640
And the more that is allowed to happen,

653
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,500
the more people feel comfortable with it until,

654
00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:34,840
you know, you realize you've built a prison

655
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,420
up around you and you can't really get

656
00:23:36,420 --> 00:23:36,880
out of it.

657
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,500
So, yes, it is Marxist.

658
00:23:39,860 --> 00:23:42,520
Marxist is probably the best description because it's

659
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:43,780
cultural Marxism.

660
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:44,960
We went through that, man.

661
00:23:44,980 --> 00:23:48,500
We were talking about that in 2009, even

662
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:49,560
when Obama came in.

663
00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:50,760
It's all cultural Marxism.

664
00:23:50,980 --> 00:23:54,460
And, you know, that is now completely a

665
00:23:54,460 --> 00:23:54,780
thing.

666
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,020
And ultimately the systems.

667
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,560
And just look at our own political, our

668
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,660
own representatives, like California.

669
00:24:03,660 --> 00:24:05,400
I think California is like, hey, man, just

670
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,480
take care of me so I can hang

671
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,180
out, bro.

672
00:24:09,540 --> 00:24:11,060
Isn't that just human nature?

673
00:24:11,420 --> 00:24:13,020
And that was one of the great things

674
00:24:13,020 --> 00:24:15,080
about America is we said, no, we're going

675
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,140
to govern ourselves and you can have a

676
00:24:18,140 --> 00:24:20,800
republic if you can keep it because it's

677
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:21,180
hard.

678
00:24:24,030 --> 00:24:27,550
And then when you have the Marxist socialist

679
00:24:27,550 --> 00:24:32,710
government and system, well, that, you know, that's

680
00:24:32,710 --> 00:24:35,330
great because the people who are chosen as

681
00:24:35,330 --> 00:24:38,330
so-called leaders and representatives, they love it

682
00:24:38,330 --> 00:24:40,230
because it's never a problem for them.

683
00:24:40,810 --> 00:24:43,170
They make sure that they get their salary

684
00:24:43,170 --> 00:24:44,890
and they've got their health care and they've

685
00:24:44,890 --> 00:24:47,150
got their cars and they're taking care of.

686
00:24:47,330 --> 00:24:48,890
Well, this is well and good, but let's

687
00:24:48,890 --> 00:24:51,690
go back to the original question, which is

688
00:24:51,690 --> 00:24:53,270
this is coordinated.

689
00:24:53,690 --> 00:24:57,030
You don't have drag queen story hour in

690
00:24:57,030 --> 00:25:00,250
Sweden and the UK and the United States

691
00:25:00,250 --> 00:25:01,290
out of the blue.

692
00:25:01,290 --> 00:25:04,970
You don't have the same exact formula for

693
00:25:04,970 --> 00:25:06,570
the immigrants come in, they get a credit

694
00:25:06,570 --> 00:25:09,090
card, they get a cell phone, and they

695
00:25:09,090 --> 00:25:10,950
get this, they get that, they get free

696
00:25:10,950 --> 00:25:13,130
housing, like in New York is a classic

697
00:25:13,130 --> 00:25:14,230
example at the Roosevelt.

698
00:25:14,890 --> 00:25:19,490
Somebody, there is a group that's identifiable.

699
00:25:20,490 --> 00:25:21,870
I can't identify them.

700
00:25:21,930 --> 00:25:24,270
I'm just saying they have to be identifiable

701
00:25:24,270 --> 00:25:27,370
that is behind the whole thing somehow has

702
00:25:27,370 --> 00:25:28,770
managed to pull this off.

703
00:25:28,810 --> 00:25:31,590
And I think it's it's obligatory for us

704
00:25:31,590 --> 00:25:33,250
to figure out who these people are and

705
00:25:33,250 --> 00:25:33,810
name them.

706
00:25:34,130 --> 00:25:36,990
OK, well, I hate to say it because

707
00:25:36,990 --> 00:25:38,290
you're not going to like my answer.

708
00:25:38,490 --> 00:25:41,090
But this is the true enemy of the

709
00:25:41,090 --> 00:25:43,730
people in this world is Satan.

710
00:25:44,650 --> 00:25:47,130
And we have a lot of Satanists running

711
00:25:47,130 --> 00:25:49,450
the show, running around, doing all kinds of

712
00:25:49,450 --> 00:25:50,510
satanic things.

713
00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:54,050
Well, I'll get I'll let that slide as

714
00:25:54,050 --> 00:25:56,090
as a distinct possibility.

715
00:25:56,090 --> 00:25:59,010
But there's still actual people.

716
00:25:59,130 --> 00:26:03,090
Yes, that need to be called out, named,

717
00:26:03,270 --> 00:26:06,470
pointed out and strung up literally.

718
00:26:06,750 --> 00:26:09,570
OK, well, we got that far.

719
00:26:09,750 --> 00:26:11,450
Well, just let's just name one.

720
00:26:11,630 --> 00:26:13,430
Let's start with the low hanging fruit.

721
00:26:13,430 --> 00:26:20,570
Macron, Starmer, Queen Ursula, Peepers.

722
00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:22,050
Go with those people.

723
00:26:22,210 --> 00:26:25,850
In fact, I have a clip here which

724
00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:30,210
kind of brings this all together because it's

725
00:26:30,210 --> 00:26:32,250
it's A.I. But it was so it

726
00:26:32,250 --> 00:26:34,310
was so funny and so true at the

727
00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:35,050
same time.

728
00:26:35,870 --> 00:26:38,250
This is President Trump.

729
00:26:39,610 --> 00:26:40,670
Oh, this is a good one.

730
00:26:40,790 --> 00:26:42,370
Yeah, this you've heard of the car.

731
00:26:42,370 --> 00:26:43,450
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

732
00:26:43,550 --> 00:26:44,070
Exactly.

733
00:26:44,630 --> 00:26:47,350
So President Trump is doing a kind of

734
00:26:47,350 --> 00:26:48,050
like an E!

735
00:26:48,190 --> 00:26:51,310
Entertainment Channel red carpet voiceover.

736
00:26:52,050 --> 00:26:53,330
Not President Trump.

737
00:26:53,430 --> 00:26:56,490
Not President Trump, but President Trump, A.I.

738
00:26:56,550 --> 00:27:00,010
version is doing a red carpet voiceover of

739
00:27:00,010 --> 00:27:03,010
the arrival of the European Union leaders to

740
00:27:03,010 --> 00:27:04,590
the White House for the summit.

741
00:27:05,030 --> 00:27:06,870
OK, let's see who arrives now.

742
00:27:06,870 --> 00:27:09,050
This guy, they say, is the president of

743
00:27:09,050 --> 00:27:12,150
Finland, looking like the captain of a cruise

744
00:27:12,150 --> 00:27:12,450
ship.

745
00:27:12,570 --> 00:27:13,990
We need to get him a captain's hat

746
00:27:13,990 --> 00:27:14,570
later on.

747
00:27:15,090 --> 00:27:16,730
OK, who the fuck is this guy?

748
00:27:17,490 --> 00:27:19,350
These Europeans all look like accountants.

749
00:27:20,430 --> 00:27:21,470
Yes, sir.

750
00:27:21,770 --> 00:27:23,370
I come to New York, Texas.

751
00:27:23,790 --> 00:27:24,690
OK, thank you, sir.

752
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:26,650
Ah, the British prime minister.

753
00:27:26,850 --> 00:27:28,170
They say this guy is gay.

754
00:27:28,830 --> 00:27:30,130
I don't know if that's true or not.

755
00:27:30,190 --> 00:27:31,670
I just think he's a dork.

756
00:27:31,670 --> 00:27:34,530
Hey, this guy is definitely gay.

757
00:27:35,030 --> 00:27:36,450
And his wife is a man.

758
00:27:36,650 --> 00:27:37,470
And she beats him.

759
00:27:37,910 --> 00:27:39,690
Mm, well, poor guy.

760
00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:42,610
Ah, Georgia Maloney.

761
00:27:42,950 --> 00:27:43,990
I love her.

762
00:27:44,550 --> 00:27:46,390
I told her and Ilan that if they

763
00:27:46,390 --> 00:27:48,870
ever have a kid, they better name him

764
00:27:48,870 --> 00:27:49,830
Ilone Maloney.

765
00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:53,470
Ursula, I like that she calls me daddy.

766
00:27:53,810 --> 00:27:55,730
They all should when you think about it.

767
00:27:56,750 --> 00:27:57,290
Good day.

768
00:27:57,910 --> 00:27:59,790
I come to see my American daddy.

769
00:28:00,590 --> 00:28:00,950
Yes.

770
00:28:01,110 --> 00:28:02,330
Thank you very much.

771
00:28:02,410 --> 00:28:03,990
There's always truth in humor.

772
00:28:04,490 --> 00:28:08,070
You know, it's true that accountants, cruise ship

773
00:28:08,070 --> 00:28:12,430
captains, losers, weirdos.

774
00:28:13,170 --> 00:28:16,550
You know, how did they get there?

775
00:28:18,070 --> 00:28:20,330
That can only— Yeah, that is actually the

776
00:28:20,330 --> 00:28:21,330
question of the day.

777
00:28:21,430 --> 00:28:23,610
That can only be— How did they get

778
00:28:23,610 --> 00:28:23,930
there?

779
00:28:24,010 --> 00:28:24,930
Corruption in voting.

780
00:28:25,250 --> 00:28:27,070
I think that the fix has been in

781
00:28:27,070 --> 00:28:28,150
so long on that.

782
00:28:28,770 --> 00:28:29,410
Everywhere.

783
00:28:30,090 --> 00:28:32,270
They figured that out a long time ago.

784
00:28:32,970 --> 00:28:33,870
And you know what?

785
00:28:33,890 --> 00:28:34,870
The people deserve it.

786
00:28:35,030 --> 00:28:36,350
We deserve what we got, too.

787
00:28:36,510 --> 00:28:37,670
And now we have President Trump.

788
00:28:37,730 --> 00:28:39,230
And now it's even hard for him to

789
00:28:39,230 --> 00:28:41,230
hold on to anyone supporting him.

790
00:28:41,370 --> 00:28:44,710
Because, you know, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.

791
00:28:46,650 --> 00:28:49,590
Yeah, so that is a question I fear,

792
00:28:49,710 --> 00:28:53,150
unfortunately, will have to remain unanswered.

793
00:28:53,750 --> 00:28:54,190
Satan!

794
00:28:54,570 --> 00:28:55,890
Yes, that's my answer.

795
00:28:56,110 --> 00:28:57,830
That is the enemy of the world.

796
00:28:58,090 --> 00:28:58,550
Yeah, well, that's a nice answer.

797
00:28:58,610 --> 00:28:59,330
It doesn't help.

798
00:29:00,530 --> 00:29:01,410
I'll tell you this.

799
00:29:01,490 --> 00:29:03,890
It does if we all start to pray.

800
00:29:03,890 --> 00:29:04,790
It's not a helpful answer, no.

801
00:29:06,430 --> 00:29:08,270
Not for a lapsed Catholic, no.

802
00:29:08,350 --> 00:29:08,770
But it's okay.

803
00:29:08,850 --> 00:29:09,770
I pray for you, too.

804
00:29:10,230 --> 00:29:11,370
You can pray all you want.

805
00:29:11,410 --> 00:29:12,330
It's not a good answer.

806
00:29:12,470 --> 00:29:14,090
It doesn't solve anything.

807
00:29:14,530 --> 00:29:15,970
Oh, okay, well, say, what are you going

808
00:29:15,970 --> 00:29:16,250
to do?

809
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,880
It doesn't solve anything.

810
00:29:20,020 --> 00:29:21,300
That's the problem I have with it.

811
00:29:21,340 --> 00:29:23,400
The United States of America has a chance

812
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,840
of getting out of some of this nonsense

813
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:26,680
unscathed.

814
00:29:26,820 --> 00:29:27,480
We really do.

815
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,680
That's particularly— Yeah, well, tell that to the

816
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:30,540
Roosevelt Hotel.

817
00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:33,220
I'm telling it to— Tell that to all

818
00:29:33,220 --> 00:29:34,080
the 20 million.

819
00:29:34,340 --> 00:29:36,120
All it took was one guy.

820
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,180
Biden comes in.

821
00:29:37,540 --> 00:29:38,760
It doesn't know what he's doing.

822
00:29:38,980 --> 00:29:41,200
Yes, it only takes one generation to ruin

823
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:41,300
it.

824
00:29:41,300 --> 00:29:41,700
It takes one guy.

825
00:29:41,820 --> 00:29:42,640
Yes, that's right.

826
00:29:42,780 --> 00:29:44,080
One guy, four years.

827
00:29:44,740 --> 00:29:46,800
Well, you got to add Obama to it.

828
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,440
Obama was a big part of it.

829
00:29:49,780 --> 00:29:50,700
He was a big part of it.

830
00:29:50,860 --> 00:29:52,500
It took a generation.

831
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,420
The millennials weren't paying attention.

832
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:55,300
Can't blame them.

833
00:29:56,380 --> 00:29:59,740
They were psyoped into believing— No, they're total

834
00:29:59,740 --> 00:30:00,420
stooges.

835
00:30:00,420 --> 00:30:01,480
They were psyoped.

836
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,480
They were psyoped into believing that you need

837
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,240
a college education in gender studies, and then

838
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,040
you'll come out and you'll make $150,000

839
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,960
a year, learn to code, and meanwhile, butt

840
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,680
-cracked plumbers can do $1.50. Come on!

841
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,200
Learn to code.

842
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,240
It was a psyop.

843
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,280
My favorite.

844
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,580
It was a psyop.

845
00:30:18,900 --> 00:30:23,800
Yeah, we fired all the entire pipeline operations.

846
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:24,560
Shuttered.

847
00:30:24,620 --> 00:30:26,880
You guys should just learn— You pipeline workers

848
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,220
should just learn to code.

849
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,480
Do we have any— Oh, here's Joe Biden.

850
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,320
I come from a family in an area

851
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,840
where there's coal mining in Scranton.

852
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,420
Anybody who can go down 300 to 3

853
00:30:40,420 --> 00:30:42,280
,000 feet in the mine sure as hell

854
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,940
can learn how to program as well.

855
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,140
Hey, man, you can learn how to program.

856
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:51,680
You can learn how to program.

857
00:30:52,020 --> 00:30:53,180
And if you can go down a mine,

858
00:30:53,260 --> 00:30:54,360
you can learn how to program.

859
00:30:54,980 --> 00:30:56,880
Guy can't even program his phone.

860
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,660
Well, let's get into this summit meeting for

861
00:31:02,660 --> 00:31:04,560
a moment because there are a couple of

862
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:04,760
things.

863
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,480
I'll just set it up with unbelievably, unbelievably—

864
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,020
and I'm sure you have clips of this,

865
00:31:11,060 --> 00:31:11,220
right?

866
00:31:11,260 --> 00:31:12,080
You've got an analysis.

867
00:31:12,460 --> 00:31:13,000
Yes, you do.

868
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,160
Bolton, fart-sniffing Bolton.

869
00:31:17,540 --> 00:31:19,720
By the way, my analysis is so off

870
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,660
the wall that you blow out everything you

871
00:31:22,660 --> 00:31:23,940
can before we play it.

872
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:24,520
Oh, okay.

873
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,620
So Bolton, fart-sniffing Bolton.

874
00:31:27,220 --> 00:31:28,820
I'm not saying that flippantly.

875
00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:30,520
Wasn't he in a club where they sniffed

876
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:31,820
each other's farts in New York?

877
00:31:31,980 --> 00:31:34,320
Or was that just a— Hey, this is—what?

878
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Yes, yes.

879
00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:38,200
I'm sure of it.

880
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:39,640
Ah.

881
00:31:40,100 --> 00:31:40,540
Yes.

882
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,440
I mean, I'd like to—that's funny.

883
00:31:42,740 --> 00:31:44,380
We talked about it on the show.

884
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:46,280
No.

885
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,400
Yeah, hold on a second.

886
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,020
Okay, go ahead.

887
00:31:48,060 --> 00:31:50,140
Do your lookup and see if you can

888
00:31:50,140 --> 00:31:50,680
find it.

889
00:31:50,940 --> 00:31:51,360
Okay.

890
00:31:51,780 --> 00:31:54,240
Well, I have—here it is.

891
00:31:54,460 --> 00:31:55,200
National security.

892
00:31:55,900 --> 00:31:56,940
Longest— National security.

893
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:57,600
There we go.

894
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,900
Longest-serving national security advisor.

895
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,280
The question is, who was that?

896
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:02,100
Yeah.

897
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,740
Who's she going to bring on the show

898
00:32:05,740 --> 00:32:06,380
is the point.

899
00:32:06,620 --> 00:32:06,740
Oh.

900
00:32:06,820 --> 00:32:09,100
Who is she to back up all these

901
00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:09,680
claims of hers?

902
00:32:09,820 --> 00:32:11,740
And the fact that Tulsi's a horrible person,

903
00:32:11,820 --> 00:32:12,760
who's she going to bring on?

904
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:13,560
The fart-sniffer.

905
00:32:13,820 --> 00:32:14,640
What's his name?

906
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:16,760
The mustache man.

907
00:32:17,660 --> 00:32:18,040
Boom.

908
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:19,240
What's his name?

909
00:32:19,380 --> 00:32:20,280
Fart-sniffer.

910
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,320
You just called him his fart-sniffer.

911
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,380
Well, listen, listen, listen, so we understand.

912
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,520
There—there was a story that we've discussed that

913
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,080
he would go to some club in New

914
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,740
York where they would sniff each other's farts.

915
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:32,420
Am I— No.

916
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:33,300
Yes.

917
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:34,400
Yes.

918
00:32:34,540 --> 00:32:35,620
I'm going to— I like the idea.

919
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:36,280
It's funny.

920
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,220
But the fact that you're defending it, you

921
00:32:39,220 --> 00:32:43,220
imagine that it's true, is kind of disconcerting.

922
00:32:44,660 --> 00:32:45,140
Ah.

923
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:53,220
It was— Like, there's this opening of the

924
00:32:53,220 --> 00:32:53,500
show.

925
00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:55,540
Yes, there was a weird, perverted club in

926
00:32:55,540 --> 00:32:56,140
New York.

927
00:32:56,660 --> 00:32:57,520
Ah, there you go.

928
00:32:57,660 --> 00:32:58,500
I'll save that one.

929
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,240
Ah, I've got it, Watson.

930
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,340
Uh, Tennessee Williams was a part of this

931
00:33:05,340 --> 00:33:05,660
club.

932
00:33:07,460 --> 00:33:07,940
No.

933
00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:09,400
Okay, no.

934
00:33:09,540 --> 00:33:13,020
Tennessee Williams was part of a necrophiliac club.

935
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,340
Well, that's even worse than fart-sniffing, I'd

936
00:33:16,340 --> 00:33:16,580
say.

937
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,100
Anyway, we don't have to belabor the point

938
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:22,740
of what Bolton does in his spare time.

939
00:33:23,500 --> 00:33:26,480
But he did do something interesting in— Well,

940
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,940
he looks like a guy who sniffs— Precisely.

941
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,540
It's so— That's the reason that the joke

942
00:33:31,540 --> 00:33:32,040
is funny.

943
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:33,200
It's so obvious.

944
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:34,940
But to believe it to be true is,

945
00:33:34,940 --> 00:33:36,680
like, over the top.

946
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:37,100
You know what?

947
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,200
I'm just making it true.

948
00:33:38,580 --> 00:33:39,540
Should we ask Error?

949
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,000
I mean, we can do that.

950
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:41,380
Yeah.

951
00:33:41,500 --> 00:33:42,440
There you go.

952
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:43,700
Ask our buddy Error.

953
00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:44,240
Okay.

954
00:33:44,740 --> 00:33:47,520
Hey, Error, is it true that John Bolton

955
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,920
belonged to a club where people sniffed each

956
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:50,600
other's farts?

957
00:33:54,930 --> 00:33:56,510
Oh, two, three.

958
00:33:56,850 --> 00:33:57,670
Oh, she's digging.

959
00:33:57,670 --> 00:33:58,470
A rumor that seems to have popped up

960
00:33:58,470 --> 00:33:58,990
from nowhere.

961
00:33:59,570 --> 00:34:02,010
There's no evidence or credible reports of John

962
00:34:02,010 --> 00:34:03,750
Bolton being involved in anything like that.

963
00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:04,490
Ah, you suck.

964
00:34:04,590 --> 00:34:05,910
See, AI is wrong again.

965
00:34:06,390 --> 00:34:06,670
Uh-huh.

966
00:34:06,730 --> 00:34:06,830
Again.

967
00:34:06,990 --> 00:34:09,730
She took her— She actually did some digging

968
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:10,409
that way.

969
00:34:10,429 --> 00:34:11,610
No, no, I had the channel closed.

970
00:34:11,969 --> 00:34:14,570
I didn't have her— I didn't have her

971
00:34:14,570 --> 00:34:14,929
open.

972
00:34:15,230 --> 00:34:16,570
Her mic was not open.

973
00:34:17,070 --> 00:34:17,409
Uh-huh.

974
00:34:17,730 --> 00:34:18,070
Anyway.

975
00:34:18,530 --> 00:34:21,130
So here's Bolton, and he does something interesting

976
00:34:21,130 --> 00:34:23,270
for the first time that I can recall

977
00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:25,270
in an interview, and this is NPR.

978
00:34:25,489 --> 00:34:27,850
Putin's pretext for the full-scale invasion of

979
00:34:27,850 --> 00:34:30,510
Ukraine was the possibility of Ukraine's NATO membership.

980
00:34:31,030 --> 00:34:33,070
NATO membership is a security guarantee.

981
00:34:33,650 --> 00:34:35,830
So given that, what indication is there that

982
00:34:35,830 --> 00:34:39,130
any security guarantee—is there any security guarantee that

983
00:34:39,130 --> 00:34:40,270
President Putin would accept?

984
00:34:41,010 --> 00:34:43,290
Well, there's a lot of loose talk in

985
00:34:43,290 --> 00:34:46,190
the West about security guarantees, and many observers

986
00:34:46,190 --> 00:34:48,730
have pointed out we gave Ukraine security guarantees

987
00:34:48,730 --> 00:34:51,270
with the Budapest Memorandum in 1994.

988
00:34:51,270 --> 00:34:53,389
That didn't deter Russia then.

989
00:34:53,949 --> 00:34:57,170
People throw around this talk of an Article

990
00:34:57,170 --> 00:34:58,450
5-like provision.

991
00:34:59,490 --> 00:35:02,630
You know, Article 5 in the Treaty of

992
00:35:02,630 --> 00:35:06,270
Washington that created NATO is famous for the

993
00:35:06,270 --> 00:35:08,050
line that an attack on one will be

994
00:35:08,050 --> 00:35:09,250
deemed an attack on all.

995
00:35:09,390 --> 00:35:12,290
And nobody forgets the line—nobody remembers the line

996
00:35:12,290 --> 00:35:14,230
a little bit further down in Article 5

997
00:35:14,230 --> 00:35:17,210
that says that each party will—and I'm quoting

998
00:35:17,210 --> 00:35:20,530
now—take such action as it deems necessary.

999
00:35:22,490 --> 00:35:23,530
I looked it up.

1000
00:35:23,590 --> 00:35:24,070
That's true.

1001
00:35:24,930 --> 00:35:27,710
We all have taken Article 5 at face

1002
00:35:27,710 --> 00:35:29,490
value for the first line, not for the

1003
00:35:29,490 --> 00:35:33,790
rest, which is, yeah, you know, but we

1004
00:35:33,790 --> 00:35:36,930
got your back if we feel like it.

1005
00:35:37,670 --> 00:35:38,630
Did you know this?

1006
00:35:39,410 --> 00:35:39,670
Yeah.

1007
00:35:39,910 --> 00:35:40,670
I didn't know this.

1008
00:35:40,730 --> 00:35:42,370
I didn't know that it was still optional.

1009
00:35:42,510 --> 00:35:44,230
I thought it was, oh, yeah, you know.

1010
00:35:44,610 --> 00:35:48,350
Well, otherwise, every time a missile accidentally—in fact,

1011
00:35:48,410 --> 00:35:49,750
the latest thing—I don't know if you have

1012
00:35:49,750 --> 00:35:54,070
a clip of it—of the rocket that hit,

1013
00:35:54,130 --> 00:35:55,450
or I guess it was a drone that

1014
00:35:55,450 --> 00:35:58,650
landed in Poland in a cornfield.

1015
00:35:58,830 --> 00:36:00,250
Yeah, but that was— And it was all,

1016
00:36:00,390 --> 00:36:02,290
you know, running with their hair on fire

1017
00:36:02,290 --> 00:36:03,050
over that.

1018
00:36:03,150 --> 00:36:04,790
Yeah, I think that was— Could have triggered

1019
00:36:04,790 --> 00:36:06,470
the whole thing, you know, if it was—

1020
00:36:06,470 --> 00:36:08,190
It could have, but it didn't.

1021
00:36:08,190 --> 00:36:09,510
But it's not going to happen.

1022
00:36:09,510 --> 00:36:11,270
No, that's not—we're not going to have nuclear

1023
00:36:11,270 --> 00:36:11,690
war.

1024
00:36:11,750 --> 00:36:12,810
We're not going to have any of that.

1025
00:36:12,890 --> 00:36:16,330
But as Queen Ursula let out on the

1026
00:36:16,330 --> 00:36:18,370
last episode when she was doing her little

1027
00:36:18,370 --> 00:36:22,190
love fest with Zelensky in Brussels, it's going

1028
00:36:22,190 --> 00:36:23,050
to be the Europeans.

1029
00:36:23,230 --> 00:36:27,230
Now, the question is, what exactly does that

1030
00:36:27,230 --> 00:36:27,570
mean?

1031
00:36:27,710 --> 00:36:31,470
And I think what they all want is

1032
00:36:31,470 --> 00:36:35,210
they want hundreds of thousands of European Union

1033
00:36:35,210 --> 00:36:38,330
troops to be in Ukraine, not on the

1034
00:36:38,330 --> 00:36:38,590
border.

1035
00:36:38,710 --> 00:36:40,170
We'll have a demilitarized zone.

1036
00:36:41,130 --> 00:36:44,610
And the reason for that is they want

1037
00:36:44,610 --> 00:36:46,010
to keep their war economy going.

1038
00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:47,670
And we're going to be perfectly fine with

1039
00:36:47,670 --> 00:36:49,050
that because we're going to be selling them

1040
00:36:49,050 --> 00:36:50,350
all the dumb stuff they're going to be

1041
00:36:50,350 --> 00:36:51,230
using for nothing.

1042
00:36:52,330 --> 00:36:53,970
That makes nothing but sense.

1043
00:36:54,490 --> 00:36:57,270
And then with the promise of EU ascension,

1044
00:36:57,510 --> 00:37:02,250
and we'll have to roust up some corruption,

1045
00:37:02,630 --> 00:37:05,670
which, okay, we'll see.

1046
00:37:08,450 --> 00:37:10,630
Anyway, let's—since you've got an off-the-wall

1047
00:37:10,630 --> 00:37:14,730
analysis, I'll give the—I'll have our buddy Andrew

1048
00:37:14,730 --> 00:37:17,830
Rasoulis with his— Oh, there he is.

1049
00:37:17,830 --> 00:37:19,550
That's the— This is the guy.

1050
00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:20,130
Your buddy.

1051
00:37:20,250 --> 00:37:20,770
This is the guy.

1052
00:37:21,050 --> 00:37:22,450
This is your go-to guy.

1053
00:37:22,570 --> 00:37:22,890
This is my guy.

1054
00:37:22,890 --> 00:37:23,670
People don't notice.

1055
00:37:24,210 --> 00:37:25,790
You're going to be hearing a lot from

1056
00:37:25,790 --> 00:37:27,650
this guy for the next six months.

1057
00:37:27,730 --> 00:37:28,810
That's because we like him.

1058
00:37:28,950 --> 00:37:31,370
We think that he's a former War Department

1059
00:37:31,370 --> 00:37:33,730
guy in Canada, and he knows what he's

1060
00:37:33,730 --> 00:37:34,330
talking about.

1061
00:37:34,530 --> 00:37:36,210
And he has a pretty clear view of

1062
00:37:36,210 --> 00:37:38,070
things, and it seems straight up.

1063
00:37:38,130 --> 00:37:40,030
Good to see you on these key days.

1064
00:37:40,130 --> 00:37:41,530
And this is one, certainly.

1065
00:37:42,110 --> 00:37:44,270
Some of the true social posts I was

1066
00:37:44,270 --> 00:37:46,530
just mentioning, I wouldn't mind beginning there because

1067
00:37:46,530 --> 00:37:48,750
they're the latest we've heard from U.S.

1068
00:37:48,830 --> 00:37:49,550
President Trump.

1069
00:37:49,910 --> 00:37:50,730
Let's look at this.

1070
00:37:50,990 --> 00:37:53,830
The one line he's written, President Zelensky can

1071
00:37:53,830 --> 00:37:56,650
end the war with Russia almost immediately if

1072
00:37:56,650 --> 00:37:57,370
he wants to.

1073
00:37:57,710 --> 00:37:59,890
He seems to be putting the onus entirely

1074
00:37:59,890 --> 00:38:01,610
on Zelensky here, Andrew.

1075
00:38:01,750 --> 00:38:04,110
What is he seeking to accomplish with this

1076
00:38:04,110 --> 00:38:04,550
messaging?

1077
00:38:04,990 --> 00:38:07,490
Well, I think the messaging is that basically

1078
00:38:07,490 --> 00:38:12,030
the overall parameters of a deal are coming

1079
00:38:12,030 --> 00:38:12,590
together.

1080
00:38:12,590 --> 00:38:15,530
Now, that is from Trump's perspective, but he's

1081
00:38:15,530 --> 00:38:17,630
basically saying there's a deal to be made

1082
00:38:17,630 --> 00:38:17,990
here.

1083
00:38:18,290 --> 00:38:21,050
There's going to be concessions on territory, in

1084
00:38:21,050 --> 00:38:23,710
fact, reflections of reality since Ukrainians were not

1085
00:38:23,710 --> 00:38:26,610
going to militarily retake their lost territories.

1086
00:38:27,210 --> 00:38:29,850
And the key thing, your quote from Vitkov

1087
00:38:29,850 --> 00:38:33,410
about the Russians making, for the first time,

1088
00:38:33,470 --> 00:38:37,190
a concession on security guarantees, legal security guarantees

1089
00:38:37,190 --> 00:38:38,150
for Ukraine.

1090
00:38:38,430 --> 00:38:39,110
That's a new one.

1091
00:38:39,130 --> 00:38:40,310
So I think from Trump's point of view,

1092
00:38:40,390 --> 00:38:41,530
he's saying there's the deal.

1093
00:38:41,670 --> 00:38:42,190
You've got it.

1094
00:38:42,190 --> 00:38:43,630
Yeah, there is the deal.

1095
00:38:43,730 --> 00:38:47,130
And the deal includes Crimea and whatever security

1096
00:38:47,130 --> 00:38:49,810
guarantees you want, it will not be NATO.

1097
00:38:50,030 --> 00:38:51,030
OK, well, hold on for a second.

1098
00:38:51,130 --> 00:38:53,150
We'll come back to security guarantees because this

1099
00:38:53,150 --> 00:38:55,990
Truth Social post continues that there will be

1100
00:38:55,990 --> 00:38:56,150
no.

1101
00:38:56,230 --> 00:38:59,270
I just love how that anything on the

1102
00:38:59,270 --> 00:39:01,290
Internet, Truth Social, X, what?

1103
00:39:01,370 --> 00:39:03,610
Because if Zelensky's not posted, that'd be funny

1104
00:39:03,610 --> 00:39:05,230
if Zelensky posted on Truth Social.

1105
00:39:05,450 --> 00:39:05,970
That'd be cool.

1106
00:39:06,610 --> 00:39:08,090
But instead he does it on X.

1107
00:39:09,070 --> 00:39:11,110
So this is now how the news operates.

1108
00:39:11,110 --> 00:39:12,990
And President Trump's very smart with this.

1109
00:39:13,090 --> 00:39:14,430
I'll give you my statement.

1110
00:39:14,570 --> 00:39:16,250
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

1111
00:39:16,590 --> 00:39:18,710
Truth Social post continues that there will be

1112
00:39:18,710 --> 00:39:21,610
no getting back Crimea and in all caps,

1113
00:39:21,770 --> 00:39:24,230
no going into NATO by Ukraine.

1114
00:39:24,390 --> 00:39:27,690
And again, for Ukraine, deciding its future is

1115
00:39:27,690 --> 00:39:28,350
so.

1116
00:39:28,690 --> 00:39:32,110
All caps, it's obvious, no NATO.

1117
00:39:32,550 --> 00:39:34,470
You know, it's so essential to all of

1118
00:39:34,470 --> 00:39:35,110
its demands.

1119
00:39:35,310 --> 00:39:37,050
So again, what do you make of that

1120
00:39:37,050 --> 00:39:39,650
part of Trump's latest social media posting?

1121
00:39:39,650 --> 00:39:41,930
I think it's a reality check here for

1122
00:39:41,930 --> 00:39:44,890
the Ukrainians, because the war started.

1123
00:39:45,250 --> 00:39:47,910
The Russians attacked Ukraine over the issue of

1124
00:39:47,910 --> 00:39:48,810
NATO enlargement.

1125
00:39:49,390 --> 00:39:52,470
Up until right now, the Russian position has

1126
00:39:52,470 --> 00:39:54,970
been that the war will only end when

1127
00:39:54,970 --> 00:39:58,450
Ukraine becomes a neutral country that is completely

1128
00:39:58,450 --> 00:40:02,450
not militarily connected to the West, whether politically

1129
00:40:02,450 --> 00:40:03,110
or militarily.

1130
00:40:03,110 --> 00:40:07,250
Now, the concession, apparently that it covers a

1131
00:40:07,250 --> 00:40:10,630
of a legal guarantee, bilateral, not NATO, but

1132
00:40:10,630 --> 00:40:12,130
NATO style legal guarantee.

1133
00:40:12,350 --> 00:40:13,830
That is a Russian change.

1134
00:40:14,090 --> 00:40:16,770
They're actually saying Ukraine, what's left of it,

1135
00:40:16,830 --> 00:40:19,950
can actually have a legal security guarantee with

1136
00:40:19,950 --> 00:40:21,830
the West, including the United States.

1137
00:40:22,230 --> 00:40:23,890
That's a fundamental shift, actually.

1138
00:40:24,250 --> 00:40:25,030
That is big.

1139
00:40:25,490 --> 00:40:27,230
And that is that's a huge concession.

1140
00:40:28,270 --> 00:40:29,770
And I think that's why President Trump is

1141
00:40:29,770 --> 00:40:31,230
like, well, we got a deal here.

1142
00:40:31,230 --> 00:40:32,770
It can't be NATO.

1143
00:40:33,770 --> 00:40:37,510
And by the way, just to recall, was

1144
00:40:37,510 --> 00:40:40,210
it not Vice President Kamala Harris who went

1145
00:40:40,210 --> 00:40:43,250
to the Munich Security Conference and started all

1146
00:40:43,250 --> 00:40:45,630
this by talking about, yeah, NATO, we should

1147
00:40:45,630 --> 00:40:46,850
put some nukes in Ukraine?

1148
00:40:47,450 --> 00:40:48,090
Wasn't that her?

1149
00:40:50,140 --> 00:40:52,940
I don't remember her saying putting nukes in

1150
00:40:52,940 --> 00:40:53,200
Ukraine.

1151
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:57,160
No, but I think Zelensky came right out

1152
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:57,400
of them.

1153
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,360
If I recall, I think Zelensky came right

1154
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,160
out of the Munich conference and said, well,

1155
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,240
yeah, we should have nukes here.

1156
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:03,860
But she was saying NATO.

1157
00:41:04,060 --> 00:41:06,160
Well, he's always talking about nukes.

1158
00:41:07,060 --> 00:41:10,020
Of course, that's what he does.

1159
00:41:10,140 --> 00:41:10,620
All right.

1160
00:41:11,980 --> 00:41:14,240
Question here, what he thought of the EU

1161
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:14,720
leaders.

1162
00:41:15,020 --> 00:41:18,060
I think Maloney is really interesting to watch

1163
00:41:18,060 --> 00:41:20,340
here because we've already seen a quote from

1164
00:41:20,340 --> 00:41:23,160
her saying that in terms of these security

1165
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,140
guarantees, she's disagreeing with the French President Macron,

1166
00:41:27,940 --> 00:41:32,120
who's constantly talking about bringing French forces, at

1167
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,560
least, or coalition of the willing forces into

1168
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,240
Ukraine after a ceasefire.

1169
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:37,520
Maloney's saying no.

1170
00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:40,560
The Italians are really not opposed to that

1171
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,340
because they're saying there's X amount of Italians

1172
00:41:43,340 --> 00:41:44,860
and there's Y amount of Russians.

1173
00:41:44,900 --> 00:41:46,120
There's a whole bunch more Russians.

1174
00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:48,320
So she doesn't want to get involved in

1175
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,240
a potential war with Russia over Ukraine.

1176
00:41:51,620 --> 00:41:53,860
So security guarantee is one thing, but boots

1177
00:41:53,860 --> 00:41:55,840
on the ground in Ukraine is another thing.

1178
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,460
So Maloney is very interesting that way.

1179
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,000
I think from Starmer and Macron and Mertz,

1180
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:02,820
we're going to get the typical, yeah, we're

1181
00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:03,780
going to boots on the ground.

1182
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,860
You know, Russia can't make a step forward.

1183
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:06,760
The hard line.

1184
00:42:07,220 --> 00:42:09,960
But Maloney is actually the different one here.

1185
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:11,940
Let's listen just for a second so we

1186
00:42:11,940 --> 00:42:13,160
can see if we can recall it from

1187
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,180
this clip from MSNBC about Kamala at the

1188
00:42:16,180 --> 00:42:17,440
Munich Security Conference.

1189
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,160
Lindsay, this speech was real.

1190
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,800
This was the single most significant speech by

1191
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,020
an American leader in the global forum calling

1192
00:42:27,020 --> 00:42:30,780
out Russian aggression and calling out Russia for

1193
00:42:30,780 --> 00:42:35,000
disinformation since 1962, since the Cuban Missile Crisis

1194
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,580
by Adlai Stevenson.

1195
00:42:36,620 --> 00:42:38,600
What we're watching right now with Vice President

1196
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,720
Harris is an American leader essentially telling the

1197
00:42:41,720 --> 00:42:44,640
world we are almost on the brink of

1198
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,840
war and we have to stop that clip.

1199
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,700
What is he talking about in 1962, Adlai

1200
00:42:52,700 --> 00:42:53,460
Stevenson?

1201
00:42:53,620 --> 00:42:54,240
I don't know.

1202
00:42:55,260 --> 00:42:56,060
It's Kennedy.

1203
00:42:57,980 --> 00:42:58,560
Okay.

1204
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,680
Adlai Stevenson had nothing to do with the

1205
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,840
Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

1206
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,260
He was a twice failed presidential candidate in

1207
00:43:07,260 --> 00:43:09,040
52, 52.

1208
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,060
I'm sorry, 62 is when the Missile Crisis

1209
00:43:12,060 --> 00:43:12,560
took place.

1210
00:43:12,820 --> 00:43:14,080
52 is when he ran.

1211
00:43:14,140 --> 00:43:17,820
He ran again four years later in 56.

1212
00:43:17,820 --> 00:43:19,100
Lost both times.

1213
00:43:19,220 --> 00:43:21,080
When the last time the same guy ran

1214
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,900
twice, he had nothing to do with anything

1215
00:43:24,900 --> 00:43:25,560
after that.

1216
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,100
He was an Illinois governor.

1217
00:43:27,340 --> 00:43:29,420
I mean, it was like, what are they

1218
00:43:29,420 --> 00:43:31,040
talking about Adlai Stevenson?

1219
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:32,940
What kind of a report is this?

1220
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,580
What's from MSNBC?

1221
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,840
The more you know in the morning.

1222
00:43:37,300 --> 00:43:40,580
Thank you for correcting MSNBC.

1223
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,020
Surprising that they had something wrong.

1224
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,920
I'm just trying to see if he mentions

1225
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,440
what Harris said.

1226
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,960
Since the Cuban Missile Crisis by Adlai Stevenson.

1227
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,300
What we're watching right now with Vice President

1228
00:43:52,300 --> 00:43:55,420
Harris is an American leader essentially telling the

1229
00:43:55,420 --> 00:43:58,360
world we are almost on the brink of

1230
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,700
war and we have to resist it because

1231
00:44:00,700 --> 00:44:03,300
it will destabilize our entire way of life.

1232
00:44:03,700 --> 00:44:05,700
And that is a powerful message.

1233
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,480
This is not a normal speech.

1234
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,320
This is a serious moment for the United

1235
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:11,200
States and for Europe.

1236
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,900
So Joel, who's that message for?

1237
00:44:13,020 --> 00:44:14,900
Who is Vice President Harris talking to?

1238
00:44:14,900 --> 00:44:17,060
Is she talking to world leaders, the American

1239
00:44:17,060 --> 00:44:18,280
people, Putin himself?

1240
00:44:18,500 --> 00:44:18,700
Putin.

1241
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,720
First and foremost, she's speaking directly at that

1242
00:44:21,720 --> 00:44:23,820
conference to the allies who are looking to

1243
00:44:23,820 --> 00:44:26,380
her and to the United States for leadership

1244
00:44:26,380 --> 00:44:27,180
at this moment.

1245
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:28,520
And she's saying, we have delivered.

1246
00:44:28,900 --> 00:44:29,640
We are with you.

1247
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:30,360
We are unified.

1248
00:44:30,780 --> 00:44:32,000
And that is not always the message.

1249
00:44:32,100 --> 00:44:33,820
And she hinted at this, that the United

1250
00:44:33,820 --> 00:44:36,160
States has been giving certainly during President Trump.

1251
00:44:36,620 --> 00:44:38,980
She's also making it clear to Vladimir Putin.

1252
00:44:39,100 --> 00:44:42,480
And look at this juxtaposition really of the

1253
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,640
entire world, the United States.

1254
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:45,660
I don't know.

1255
00:44:45,780 --> 00:44:48,860
I'll look it up for Sunday show.

1256
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:50,680
Well, you're not going to find it.

1257
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:51,960
OK.

1258
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:53,840
You doubting Thomas?

1259
00:44:54,060 --> 00:44:55,220
You know, she's not going to you're not

1260
00:44:55,220 --> 00:44:56,180
going to find it because she never did.

1261
00:44:56,240 --> 00:44:57,200
We can't do that.

1262
00:44:57,260 --> 00:44:59,900
We can't even suggest such a thing.

1263
00:45:00,580 --> 00:45:03,160
And if she did, she's an OK, I'm

1264
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,160
going to go out on a limb here.

1265
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,240
If she did, she's an idiot.

1266
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,740
Let's play the Poland stuff for a second,

1267
00:45:13,780 --> 00:45:14,560
just as a break.

1268
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,620
OK, the Texas war, hot Poland.

1269
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,320
OK, Texas.

1270
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:21,720
I'm sorry.

1271
00:45:21,900 --> 00:45:24,400
I said Texas because I got a Texas

1272
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:24,660
clip.

1273
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:25,700
I went back to Russia.

1274
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:27,280
Texas.

1275
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,800
You put me in the same category as

1276
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:31,440
Camilla.

1277
00:45:31,860 --> 00:45:34,460
Russia, war, hot, hot Poland.

1278
00:45:35,900 --> 00:45:38,720
At least 14 people are reported injured in

1279
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:41,880
an overnight Russian attack on Ukraine's Sumy region.

1280
00:45:42,100 --> 00:45:44,340
This includes a family with three children.

1281
00:45:44,340 --> 00:45:47,480
Five months, four years and six years old.

1282
00:45:47,700 --> 00:45:50,680
That's according to Ukrainian officials who say Russia

1283
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,160
launched 15 drones in the attack on the

1284
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,460
Sumy region in the early hours of Wednesday.

1285
00:45:56,220 --> 00:46:00,360
Meanwhile, in Ukraine's Odessa region, firefighters were dealing

1286
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,160
with the aftermath of another reported Russian drone

1287
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:03,600
strike.

1288
00:46:03,940 --> 00:46:06,800
Ukrainian officials called it a massive drone strike,

1289
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,200
saying it injured one person and caused a

1290
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:09,900
large fire.

1291
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,200
Over 50 emergency workers battled the flames.

1292
00:46:14,340 --> 00:46:17,940
And in neighboring Poland on Wednesday, a military

1293
00:46:17,940 --> 00:46:20,660
drone fell and exploded in a cornfield in

1294
00:46:20,660 --> 00:46:21,920
the NATO member country.

1295
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:24,380
Polish officials say it may have been a

1296
00:46:24,380 --> 00:46:26,480
Russian version of an Iranian drone.

1297
00:46:28,140 --> 00:46:30,920
Once again, we are dealing with a provocation

1298
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,240
by the Russian Federation with a Russian drone.

1299
00:46:34,780 --> 00:46:36,680
We are dealing with it in a crucial

1300
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,080
moment when discussions about peace are underway.

1301
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,660
Residents in the area where the drone made

1302
00:46:42,660 --> 00:46:45,200
impact recount the moment of the explosion.

1303
00:46:46,460 --> 00:46:49,140
You're sitting there doing something on your computer.

1304
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,040
Your wife's practically asleep.

1305
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,680
And then boom, the entire house shakes.

1306
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,440
An attack on Poland would mean an attack

1307
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,860
on NATO, which could have serious consequences.

1308
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,660
Poland also directly borders Germany, which has the

1309
00:47:02,660 --> 00:47:04,940
highest GDP and is one of the most

1310
00:47:04,940 --> 00:47:06,580
influential countries in Europe.

1311
00:47:06,580 --> 00:47:09,740
Poland's defense minister says Russia's goal is to

1312
00:47:09,740 --> 00:47:11,380
provoke Western allies.

1313
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:12,800
OK.

1314
00:47:14,140 --> 00:47:18,120
Yeah, that drone went off, killed her and

1315
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:19,360
landed in a cornfield.

1316
00:47:19,580 --> 00:47:24,420
It's also somewhat dubious because they determined that

1317
00:47:24,420 --> 00:47:26,600
it was Russian from some fragments.

1318
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,140
And it's also exactly the kind of materiel

1319
00:47:30,140 --> 00:47:33,300
that has been used in Ukraine.

1320
00:47:35,350 --> 00:47:37,450
Yeah, I'm sure it's completely dubious.

1321
00:47:37,450 --> 00:47:39,390
By the way, he did mention Germany and

1322
00:47:39,390 --> 00:47:39,930
in there.

1323
00:47:40,070 --> 00:47:43,770
And did you notice Maloney sitting between Trump

1324
00:47:43,770 --> 00:47:45,330
and Mr. Peepers?

1325
00:47:45,430 --> 00:47:45,750
Oh, yeah.

1326
00:47:46,170 --> 00:47:48,890
Rolling her eyes and just going, you know,

1327
00:47:48,970 --> 00:47:51,730
she did everything short of stinging, sticking her

1328
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:54,910
finger in her mouth and making a puke

1329
00:47:54,910 --> 00:47:55,390
sound.

1330
00:47:55,590 --> 00:47:58,730
According to the Polish army, no airspace violations

1331
00:47:58,730 --> 00:48:01,090
were detected from Ukraine or Belarus.

1332
00:48:01,410 --> 00:48:05,470
Police discovered charred metal and plastic fragments scattered

1333
00:48:05,470 --> 00:48:06,650
across the cornfield.

1334
00:48:07,450 --> 00:48:11,690
According to newspaper Respospolita, the wreckage may be

1335
00:48:11,690 --> 00:48:15,730
from a Russian Shahed 131-36 Kamikaze drone,

1336
00:48:16,010 --> 00:48:18,010
the type commonly used in Ukraine.

1337
00:48:19,070 --> 00:48:23,250
So, you know, not necessarily enough evidence to

1338
00:48:23,250 --> 00:48:26,610
get NATO to invoke Article 5.

1339
00:48:26,950 --> 00:48:28,930
We're not going to invoke Article 5 on

1340
00:48:28,930 --> 00:48:30,290
a cornfield attack.

1341
00:48:30,550 --> 00:48:33,070
Cornfield, they're hurting our cornfields now.

1342
00:48:33,650 --> 00:48:34,670
Here's a part two.

1343
00:48:34,670 --> 00:48:37,310
At a time when President Trump is doing

1344
00:48:37,310 --> 00:48:40,470
everything to bring about this piece, and Ukraine

1345
00:48:40,470 --> 00:48:43,790
is open to concluding this piece, the provocative

1346
00:48:43,790 --> 00:48:46,310
strategy and hybrid war continue.

1347
00:48:46,710 --> 00:48:49,730
So far, Russia hasn't commented on whether Poland

1348
00:48:49,730 --> 00:48:51,190
was the intended target.

1349
00:48:55,170 --> 00:48:55,850
Really?

1350
00:48:56,110 --> 00:48:58,650
Like they're going to comment, hey, you were

1351
00:48:58,650 --> 00:49:00,210
targeting that cornfield.

1352
00:49:00,330 --> 00:49:01,310
Come on, be honest.

1353
00:49:02,150 --> 00:49:04,270
So while the first clip was playing, I

1354
00:49:04,270 --> 00:49:07,630
read through the transcript of what Vice President

1355
00:49:07,630 --> 00:49:12,110
Harris said, and she did not say specifically

1356
00:49:12,110 --> 00:49:14,610
NATO is going to defend Ukraine.

1357
00:49:14,790 --> 00:49:15,950
But it was so implied.

1358
00:49:16,930 --> 00:49:18,210
So but it was enough.

1359
00:49:18,270 --> 00:49:19,230
It was enough at the time.

1360
00:49:19,310 --> 00:49:21,450
Putin said that, you know, hey, it's because

1361
00:49:21,450 --> 00:49:23,090
of your stance that we that we did

1362
00:49:23,090 --> 00:49:25,470
this because you were starting to rattle the

1363
00:49:25,470 --> 00:49:25,870
sword.

1364
00:49:25,990 --> 00:49:28,250
She's just as responsible as anyone.

1365
00:49:28,610 --> 00:49:30,490
Yes, this is this is what I wanted

1366
00:49:30,490 --> 00:49:31,130
to point out.

1367
00:49:31,310 --> 00:49:33,050
Well, you got that part right.

1368
00:49:33,090 --> 00:49:33,590
Her fault.

1369
00:49:33,710 --> 00:49:34,610
It's all her fault.

1370
00:49:34,890 --> 00:49:38,130
Well, she didn't do anything to to stand

1371
00:49:38,130 --> 00:49:39,290
it off, stand it down.

1372
00:49:39,370 --> 00:49:40,030
That's for sure.

1373
00:49:40,250 --> 00:49:40,490
Yeah.

1374
00:49:41,350 --> 00:49:45,490
Let's listen to well, I have I have

1375
00:49:45,490 --> 00:49:48,850
NPR morning edition report of the coalition of

1376
00:49:48,850 --> 00:49:50,990
the morning edition is getting worse.

1377
00:49:51,110 --> 00:49:53,070
Well, that's what we have from Brussels.

1378
00:49:53,170 --> 00:49:54,430
Terry Schultz joins us now to talk about

1379
00:49:54,430 --> 00:49:56,570
the challenges Europe faces with so many factors

1380
00:49:56,570 --> 00:49:58,390
still dependent on Washington.

1381
00:49:58,390 --> 00:50:01,410
So, Terry, how have European leaders been digesting

1382
00:50:01,410 --> 00:50:02,510
the events from DC?

1383
00:50:03,410 --> 00:50:05,350
Well, quickly is the best way I can

1384
00:50:05,350 --> 00:50:06,010
describe it.

1385
00:50:06,110 --> 00:50:09,810
It was less than 24 hours after those

1386
00:50:09,810 --> 00:50:11,710
meetings at the White House that the EU

1387
00:50:11,710 --> 00:50:13,750
leaders who'd been present there were back here

1388
00:50:13,750 --> 00:50:16,090
in virtual sessions debriefing their counterparts.

1389
00:50:16,670 --> 00:50:18,590
And that urgency just goes to show how

1390
00:50:18,590 --> 00:50:19,730
high stakes the situation.

1391
00:50:20,050 --> 00:50:20,570
Stop clip.

1392
00:50:22,230 --> 00:50:23,690
They're the leaders, right?

1393
00:50:24,630 --> 00:50:25,590
They are the leaders.

1394
00:50:25,690 --> 00:50:25,970
Yes.

1395
00:50:26,950 --> 00:50:28,930
Who are their counterparts, then?

1396
00:50:30,930 --> 00:50:32,550
Who would be a counterpart?

1397
00:50:32,690 --> 00:50:34,210
No, that's if you're the if you're the

1398
00:50:34,210 --> 00:50:34,830
president.

1399
00:50:35,410 --> 00:50:35,690
Yeah.

1400
00:50:35,830 --> 00:50:38,850
Do you have a counterpart, another another guy

1401
00:50:38,850 --> 00:50:41,050
above you or even to you?

1402
00:50:41,130 --> 00:50:42,870
I mean, there's 27 member states.

1403
00:50:42,870 --> 00:50:45,270
So maybe the other the other like the

1404
00:50:45,270 --> 00:50:47,410
polls and the Hungarians.

1405
00:50:48,550 --> 00:50:50,430
I'll let it slide a couple of times.

1406
00:50:50,570 --> 00:50:52,790
And that urgency just goes to show how

1407
00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:54,730
high stakes the situation is for Europe.

1408
00:50:54,730 --> 00:50:57,030
They had both a meeting of this coalition

1409
00:50:57,030 --> 00:50:59,110
of the willing that some 30 countries which

1410
00:50:59,110 --> 00:51:01,610
have expressed their readiness to physically help support

1411
00:51:01,610 --> 00:51:02,550
a ceasefire in Ukraine.

1412
00:51:02,890 --> 00:51:04,630
And they had one with just the 27

1413
00:51:04,630 --> 00:51:05,730
EU member countries.

1414
00:51:06,070 --> 00:51:07,850
President Trump has made it pretty clear that

1415
00:51:07,850 --> 00:51:09,830
he wants Europe to take the lead on

1416
00:51:09,830 --> 00:51:10,750
Ukrainian security.

1417
00:51:10,870 --> 00:51:12,050
That's that's our understanding, right?

1418
00:51:12,310 --> 00:51:12,830
That's right.

1419
00:51:12,950 --> 00:51:15,410
And more or less already decided that themselves

1420
00:51:15,410 --> 00:51:17,810
before Trump became more supportive of Ukraine.

1421
00:51:17,990 --> 00:51:19,850
But now the president has confirmed it many

1422
00:51:19,850 --> 00:51:20,410
times over.

1423
00:51:20,790 --> 00:51:22,430
And the good news for the Europeans is

1424
00:51:22,430 --> 00:51:24,190
that Trump is now pledging for the first

1425
00:51:24,190 --> 00:51:26,470
time to help with the security guarantees for

1426
00:51:26,470 --> 00:51:26,850
Ukraine.

1427
00:51:27,370 --> 00:51:29,610
Chairing the meeting of EU leaders, European Council

1428
00:51:29,610 --> 00:51:32,470
President Antonio Costa said Europe is actually now

1429
00:51:32,470 --> 00:51:34,470
working hand in hand with the US.

1430
00:51:34,870 --> 00:51:38,410
Their commitment to participate in the security guarantees

1431
00:51:38,410 --> 00:51:41,910
with the Europeans and other like minded countries

1432
00:51:41,910 --> 00:51:45,710
is a very important step, a very welcome

1433
00:51:45,710 --> 00:51:46,130
step.

1434
00:51:46,550 --> 00:51:48,270
Now, Costa says there's still a difficult road

1435
00:51:48,270 --> 00:51:50,850
ahead, but Europeans are feeling reassured by the

1436
00:51:50,850 --> 00:51:51,710
new US support.

1437
00:51:51,930 --> 00:51:53,670
Of course, we don't really know what it

1438
00:51:53,670 --> 00:51:54,170
means.

1439
00:51:54,170 --> 00:51:55,670
Is it boots in the air?

1440
00:51:55,990 --> 00:51:59,390
Is it and we'll do some flybys, you

1441
00:51:59,390 --> 00:52:01,030
know, maybe we'll drop some supplies.

1442
00:52:01,290 --> 00:52:03,330
It's very it's not clear what we'll get,

1443
00:52:03,390 --> 00:52:04,110
what we're going to do.

1444
00:52:04,310 --> 00:52:06,670
I predict we'll be doing very little other

1445
00:52:06,670 --> 00:52:09,090
than dropping off the orders.

1446
00:52:09,970 --> 00:52:10,750
What did you order?

1447
00:52:10,990 --> 00:52:12,010
He ordered some tanks.

1448
00:52:12,170 --> 00:52:12,650
Here they are.

1449
00:52:12,910 --> 00:52:13,390
What do you got?

1450
00:52:13,470 --> 00:52:14,490
Do you want fries with that?

1451
00:52:14,690 --> 00:52:15,310
We're flying them in.

1452
00:52:15,410 --> 00:52:17,170
How might this look, though, practically?

1453
00:52:17,270 --> 00:52:18,630
I mean, this coalition has been meeting for

1454
00:52:18,630 --> 00:52:20,630
months without the participation of the US.

1455
00:52:20,630 --> 00:52:23,190
Well, and also without even a basic outline

1456
00:52:23,190 --> 00:52:25,070
of what a final peace deal might look

1457
00:52:25,070 --> 00:52:26,230
like between Russia and Ukraine.

1458
00:52:26,650 --> 00:52:28,530
So what would be the rules and protections

1459
00:52:28,530 --> 00:52:30,510
and obligations of such a mission on the

1460
00:52:30,510 --> 00:52:30,830
ground?

1461
00:52:31,170 --> 00:52:33,250
In addition, it's been hamstrung since it was

1462
00:52:33,250 --> 00:52:35,910
created by the US lack of support earlier,

1463
00:52:36,110 --> 00:52:38,270
which is really critical, both in terms of

1464
00:52:38,270 --> 00:52:41,430
capabilities such as intelligence sharing and surveillance where

1465
00:52:41,430 --> 00:52:44,110
the US is dominant, but also the deterrent

1466
00:52:44,110 --> 00:52:46,210
factor, sort of the stick that you have

1467
00:52:46,210 --> 00:52:48,530
with an agreement backed by the US, especially

1468
00:52:48,530 --> 00:52:49,470
in the eyes of the Kremlin.

1469
00:52:49,470 --> 00:52:51,970
So now discussions will take a new, more

1470
00:52:51,970 --> 00:52:52,970
optimistic shape.

1471
00:52:53,270 --> 00:52:55,610
Now, President Trump says no US troops would

1472
00:52:55,610 --> 00:52:56,470
join this mission.

1473
00:52:56,550 --> 00:52:58,890
So how willing are Europeans to send their

1474
00:52:58,890 --> 00:52:59,850
people into Ukraine?

1475
00:53:00,390 --> 00:53:02,590
Well, that's a huge unanswered question because it's

1476
00:53:02,590 --> 00:53:04,450
not clear whether this mission would be to

1477
00:53:04,450 --> 00:53:07,370
sort of monitor a ceasefire or reinforce it

1478
00:53:07,370 --> 00:53:09,110
or defend certain lines.

1479
00:53:09,150 --> 00:53:11,350
And those verbs all mean very different things,

1480
00:53:11,390 --> 00:53:14,010
carrying different levels of danger for those deployed

1481
00:53:14,010 --> 00:53:14,930
in general.

1482
00:53:14,990 --> 00:53:16,730
European countries are going to have to send

1483
00:53:16,730 --> 00:53:17,050
forces.

1484
00:53:17,050 --> 00:53:18,730
And it seems about 10 have committed to

1485
00:53:18,730 --> 00:53:19,490
doing that so far.

1486
00:53:19,810 --> 00:53:21,870
But some options are much less palatable than

1487
00:53:21,870 --> 00:53:22,150
others.

1488
00:53:22,570 --> 00:53:24,310
And if this is a small force that's

1489
00:53:24,310 --> 00:53:27,470
just there to deter Russia reattacking Ukraine, this

1490
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:29,450
is sometimes described as a tripwire force.

1491
00:53:29,630 --> 00:53:31,110
What happens if it is attacked?

1492
00:53:31,170 --> 00:53:32,330
We don't have any answers yet.

1493
00:53:32,330 --> 00:53:33,910
Or are we going to need to see

1494
00:53:33,910 --> 00:53:37,050
hundreds of thousands of European military personnel armed

1495
00:53:37,050 --> 00:53:37,970
to fight back?

1496
00:53:38,050 --> 00:53:39,510
Yes, I think that's pretty unlikely.

1497
00:53:39,810 --> 00:53:41,170
No, I think it's very likely.

1498
00:53:41,430 --> 00:53:42,830
And they have to.

1499
00:53:42,830 --> 00:53:46,890
There is a very high unemployment level in

1500
00:53:46,890 --> 00:53:47,950
the European Union.

1501
00:53:48,710 --> 00:53:49,910
People have no work.

1502
00:53:49,990 --> 00:53:51,850
There's only one thing left to do.

1503
00:53:53,470 --> 00:53:54,790
What's the constriction?

1504
00:53:54,970 --> 00:53:55,710
No, constriction.

1505
00:53:56,830 --> 00:53:57,390
Constriction.

1506
00:53:58,710 --> 00:53:59,270
Conscription.

1507
00:53:59,890 --> 00:54:01,910
I like constriction is the same thing.

1508
00:54:02,290 --> 00:54:02,850
Conscription.

1509
00:54:03,110 --> 00:54:03,630
Thank you.

1510
00:54:04,030 --> 00:54:05,950
Yeah, it has to be a military draft.

1511
00:54:06,030 --> 00:54:08,190
They're already talking about it in Germany and

1512
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:09,110
nobody wants it.

1513
00:54:09,110 --> 00:54:12,890
The German youth do not want to fight

1514
00:54:12,890 --> 00:54:15,090
for Germany or anybody else for that matter.

1515
00:54:15,430 --> 00:54:17,410
It's something like they did a survey.

1516
00:54:17,730 --> 00:54:20,610
So it's like only 20, maybe 30%

1517
00:54:20,610 --> 00:54:23,730
the most would take up arms for Germany.

1518
00:54:23,930 --> 00:54:25,470
So that's how much they hate their own

1519
00:54:25,470 --> 00:54:25,930
country.

1520
00:54:26,210 --> 00:54:28,810
30% will go into the military.

1521
00:54:30,030 --> 00:54:33,410
And 20% will be, well, no, actually

1522
00:54:33,410 --> 00:54:34,150
more than that.

1523
00:54:34,470 --> 00:54:36,630
It'll be 50% women who probably won't

1524
00:54:36,630 --> 00:54:37,250
have to go.

1525
00:54:37,250 --> 00:54:39,150
And the 20% of men who don't

1526
00:54:39,150 --> 00:54:40,290
want to go, they're going to be doing

1527
00:54:40,290 --> 00:54:40,930
podcasts.

1528
00:54:41,110 --> 00:54:43,070
I mean, there's nothing else for them to

1529
00:54:43,070 --> 00:54:43,490
do.

1530
00:54:44,110 --> 00:54:45,310
There's nothing else.

1531
00:54:46,050 --> 00:54:47,310
And that's what you need.

1532
00:54:47,410 --> 00:54:48,470
It's like, hey, do you want to have

1533
00:54:48,470 --> 00:54:48,970
a good pay?

1534
00:54:49,750 --> 00:54:54,290
Go into the Luftwaffe and get in there.

1535
00:54:54,350 --> 00:54:56,050
And it's going to be every single country.

1536
00:54:56,610 --> 00:54:59,710
And it'll be a pretty good gig because

1537
00:54:59,710 --> 00:55:02,110
nothing's going to happen other than some fear

1538
00:55:02,110 --> 00:55:02,610
mongering.

1539
00:55:03,170 --> 00:55:04,570
I think Russia likes it.

1540
00:55:04,570 --> 00:55:06,670
We're probably going to do some great business

1541
00:55:06,670 --> 00:55:07,190
with Russia.

1542
00:55:08,150 --> 00:55:09,570
That's what I think is happening here.

1543
00:55:09,630 --> 00:55:12,650
President Trump, President Putin, like, OK, or whoever

1544
00:55:12,650 --> 00:55:13,410
that is.

1545
00:55:13,830 --> 00:55:18,610
Because man, that guy, the pictures of Putin,

1546
00:55:18,710 --> 00:55:20,870
it just doesn't look like Putin anymore.

1547
00:55:21,690 --> 00:55:23,770
And by the way, somebody pointed out something

1548
00:55:23,770 --> 00:55:24,870
because we have a fake.

1549
00:55:26,010 --> 00:55:28,090
First of all, a little backstory.

1550
00:55:28,670 --> 00:55:30,490
Mimi's working with a guy in Los Angeles

1551
00:55:30,490 --> 00:55:34,070
to produce a book, a memoirs of this

1552
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:34,610
guy's doing.

1553
00:55:34,730 --> 00:55:35,630
I'm not going to say who.

1554
00:55:35,750 --> 00:55:36,530
Oh, another book.

1555
00:55:36,770 --> 00:55:36,950
Is this?

1556
00:55:37,010 --> 00:55:40,270
Well, we got a bunch of Gateway Publishing.

1557
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:42,870
I'm sorry.

1558
00:55:44,810 --> 00:55:46,570
It's a marketing, marketing.

1559
00:55:46,790 --> 00:55:47,790
Yeah, it was a gate view.

1560
00:55:48,110 --> 00:55:48,870
I'll never forget.

1561
00:55:49,050 --> 00:55:49,150
No.

1562
00:55:49,650 --> 00:55:53,710
One of his best friends was Kennedy's double.

1563
00:55:55,490 --> 00:55:55,930
Wow.

1564
00:55:57,690 --> 00:56:01,750
And he was so apparently was incredibly depressed

1565
00:56:01,750 --> 00:56:03,730
when Kennedy was assassinated.

1566
00:56:04,090 --> 00:56:05,110
Yeah, he lost his gig.

1567
00:56:05,210 --> 00:56:06,510
He lost his gig.

1568
00:56:06,930 --> 00:56:09,230
So some one of our producers pointed out

1569
00:56:09,230 --> 00:56:11,990
in an email this morning saying that the

1570
00:56:11,990 --> 00:56:15,630
fake Trump is up and around because the

1571
00:56:15,630 --> 00:56:17,730
fake Trump has it has a tell.

1572
00:56:18,710 --> 00:56:20,710
Yeah, I'm a little dubious about this, but

1573
00:56:20,710 --> 00:56:22,730
I'm just like it.

1574
00:56:22,750 --> 00:56:24,150
I'm not just going to say it.

1575
00:56:24,270 --> 00:56:25,910
People can figure it out for themselves.

1576
00:56:26,490 --> 00:56:28,550
I'm dubious about all the fakes, by the

1577
00:56:28,550 --> 00:56:30,350
way, except for that Hillary, that one with

1578
00:56:30,350 --> 00:56:32,410
the person on the wrong side, short squat

1579
00:56:32,410 --> 00:56:32,690
woman.

1580
00:56:32,970 --> 00:56:34,110
Daddy long legs Biden.

1581
00:56:34,270 --> 00:56:34,550
Come on.

1582
00:56:34,550 --> 00:56:35,630
Oh, and the double Biden.

1583
00:56:35,790 --> 00:56:37,550
Yeah, but at least three bites.

1584
00:56:37,670 --> 00:56:38,990
So that's two out of four now.

1585
00:56:39,130 --> 00:56:39,350
Okay.

1586
00:56:39,870 --> 00:56:42,370
Okay, well, half of them might as well

1587
00:56:42,370 --> 00:56:43,250
just go all the way.

1588
00:56:43,350 --> 00:56:43,850
They're all fakes.

1589
00:56:43,950 --> 00:56:44,050
Yeah.

1590
00:56:44,130 --> 00:56:44,350
Oh, buddy.

1591
00:56:44,390 --> 00:56:49,010
So this Trump says that when he's talking

1592
00:56:49,010 --> 00:56:51,350
in third person, he says the Trump administration,

1593
00:56:51,350 --> 00:56:54,250
he refers to the Trump administration when the

1594
00:56:54,250 --> 00:56:56,570
real Trump always says my administration.

1595
00:56:58,790 --> 00:57:01,110
Yeah, but that's speech written.

1596
00:57:01,350 --> 00:57:03,190
Well, maybe not that.

1597
00:57:03,270 --> 00:57:04,510
Well, it's something to look out for.

1598
00:57:04,610 --> 00:57:06,570
I just say it was an interesting tell.

1599
00:57:06,690 --> 00:57:09,010
If true, it's possible now because, you know,

1600
00:57:09,150 --> 00:57:12,250
Dick Gregory had this back in 2015, 2016

1601
00:57:12,250 --> 00:57:13,250
before he died.

1602
00:57:13,370 --> 00:57:13,750
Oh, yeah.

1603
00:57:13,950 --> 00:57:15,890
He talked about this thesis that there were

1604
00:57:15,890 --> 00:57:17,650
two Trumps and one of them, he says

1605
00:57:17,650 --> 00:57:19,410
the real one always wore the red tie

1606
00:57:19,410 --> 00:57:21,150
and the fake one wore a blue tie.

1607
00:57:21,150 --> 00:57:23,430
And that's when Trump only appeared with those

1608
00:57:23,430 --> 00:57:23,910
two ties.

1609
00:57:24,090 --> 00:57:25,350
Now he wears pink.

1610
00:57:25,530 --> 00:57:26,170
He wears yellow.

1611
00:57:26,350 --> 00:57:27,390
He wears all kinds of ties.

1612
00:57:27,630 --> 00:57:30,530
Allow me to play that clip a few

1613
00:57:30,530 --> 00:57:31,070
weeks.

1614
00:57:31,190 --> 00:57:33,010
First, there's two Trumps.

1615
00:57:33,010 --> 00:57:33,270
Okay.

1616
00:57:33,430 --> 00:57:35,290
The one in the red ties, the real

1617
00:57:35,290 --> 00:57:37,850
one, the one in the blue ties, not

1618
00:57:37,850 --> 00:57:40,010
the one you saw last night after the

1619
00:57:40,010 --> 00:57:41,410
victory was the blue tie.

1620
00:57:42,330 --> 00:57:43,850
Now, if you would punch up.

1621
00:57:45,250 --> 00:57:50,850
Dr. Carson, Ben Carson, when Trump called him

1622
00:57:50,850 --> 00:57:54,270
a pedophile, and the next day he joined

1623
00:57:54,270 --> 00:57:57,310
Trump and the guy asked him, see every

1624
00:57:57,310 --> 00:57:58,770
now and then you slip and say, he

1625
00:57:58,770 --> 00:58:00,070
said, why'd you do that?

1626
00:58:00,130 --> 00:58:01,050
He says, it's two Trumps.

1627
00:58:02,850 --> 00:58:03,970
I was with the good one.

1628
00:58:05,410 --> 00:58:06,030
You see it there.

1629
00:58:07,310 --> 00:58:12,830
Just, just punch up when, when somebody interviewed

1630
00:58:12,830 --> 00:58:15,210
him, he said this to Donald Trump says

1631
00:58:15,210 --> 00:58:16,510
that's easy to pull up.

1632
00:58:17,950 --> 00:58:20,650
You know, there's, I forgot about the Ben

1633
00:58:20,650 --> 00:58:21,590
Carson anecdote.

1634
00:58:21,810 --> 00:58:24,950
Yes, there's a, there's a different theory, which

1635
00:58:24,950 --> 00:58:25,870
I quite like.

1636
00:58:25,870 --> 00:58:27,450
And the only reason I bring it up

1637
00:58:27,450 --> 00:58:29,450
is because this clip kind of, by the

1638
00:58:29,450 --> 00:58:31,970
way, we're the only podcast and the best

1639
00:58:31,970 --> 00:58:32,630
in the universe.

1640
00:58:32,770 --> 00:58:33,090
Of course.

1641
00:58:33,090 --> 00:58:36,690
That talks about body doubles when it's a

1642
00:58:36,690 --> 00:58:38,850
known fact that they're used to an extreme.

1643
00:58:40,450 --> 00:58:44,730
The theory goes that the elites have long

1644
00:58:44,730 --> 00:58:47,950
since perfected the art of cloning ever since

1645
00:58:47,950 --> 00:58:50,970
that stupid sheep, Dolly, Dolly the sheep, just

1646
00:58:50,970 --> 00:58:51,430
a stretch.

1647
00:58:52,070 --> 00:58:52,250
Ever since.

1648
00:58:52,250 --> 00:58:53,110
I met that dog.

1649
00:58:53,690 --> 00:58:55,070
I thought it was a sheep.

1650
00:58:55,930 --> 00:58:58,190
Oh, no, I met the first clone dog.

1651
00:58:58,530 --> 00:58:58,810
Yeah.

1652
00:58:58,970 --> 00:59:00,390
And, and what did he say?

1653
00:59:01,170 --> 00:59:01,650
Hi.

1654
00:59:05,730 --> 00:59:06,210
Okay.

1655
00:59:08,450 --> 00:59:10,690
But I'm just saying, cause the theory keeps

1656
00:59:10,690 --> 00:59:12,750
coming back and people email me this very

1657
00:59:12,750 --> 00:59:13,310
seriously.

1658
00:59:13,310 --> 00:59:16,010
So I take these things seriously because they

1659
00:59:16,010 --> 00:59:18,710
clearly believe that it's, if not possible, that

1660
00:59:18,710 --> 00:59:19,270
it's true.

1661
00:59:19,870 --> 00:59:24,650
And that many celebrities already have their clones

1662
00:59:24,650 --> 00:59:27,090
and they, of course they need to shut

1663
00:59:27,090 --> 00:59:27,290
up.

1664
00:59:27,330 --> 00:59:28,730
Otherwise, you know, they'll have to do all

1665
00:59:28,730 --> 00:59:29,610
the work themselves.

1666
00:59:29,610 --> 00:59:30,670
That would suck.

1667
00:59:30,910 --> 00:59:31,970
Heaven forbid.

1668
00:59:33,830 --> 00:59:35,890
And, and, you know, and that the real

1669
00:59:35,890 --> 00:59:37,710
Putin, this is this, this is a story.

1670
00:59:37,790 --> 00:59:40,190
The real Putin, the OG Putin is dead.

1671
00:59:40,290 --> 00:59:42,310
He died because remember he had cancer.

1672
00:59:42,590 --> 00:59:43,790
He had leukemia.

1673
00:59:44,050 --> 00:59:45,710
They kept trying to kill him and train

1674
00:59:45,710 --> 00:59:46,070
wrecks.

1675
00:59:46,450 --> 00:59:46,730
Yeah.

1676
00:59:46,750 --> 00:59:47,950
They kept trying to blow him up.

1677
00:59:48,010 --> 00:59:48,550
So he was dead.

1678
00:59:48,610 --> 00:59:52,430
But luckily, luckily they had the clone and

1679
00:59:52,430 --> 00:59:56,410
president Trump himself in 2022 kind of alluded

1680
00:59:56,410 --> 00:59:57,030
to this.

1681
00:59:57,170 --> 00:59:58,190
Do you respect Putin?

1682
00:59:59,070 --> 01:00:00,850
Well, he's a different person.

1683
01:00:01,050 --> 01:00:02,050
I'll tell you something.

1684
01:00:02,210 --> 01:00:04,910
I got along with him and look, I

1685
01:00:04,910 --> 01:00:06,950
got along with him loving this country and

1686
01:00:06,950 --> 01:00:09,010
he loves his country.

1687
01:00:09,090 --> 01:00:09,350
Okay.

1688
01:00:09,550 --> 01:00:11,690
But he's a different person than he was.

1689
01:00:11,730 --> 01:00:13,030
He seems to be different.

1690
01:00:13,630 --> 01:00:18,830
He, is he, is he, is he mentally,

1691
01:00:19,770 --> 01:00:23,090
it just doesn't seem to be the same

1692
01:00:23,090 --> 01:00:24,350
person I was dealing with.

1693
01:00:24,470 --> 01:00:25,190
There you go.

1694
01:00:25,370 --> 01:00:26,130
There you go.

1695
01:00:27,190 --> 01:00:28,170
It was a clone.

1696
01:00:28,350 --> 01:00:30,110
Well, that's an interesting clip.

1697
01:00:30,570 --> 01:00:33,470
The problem I have with it is why

1698
01:00:33,470 --> 01:00:36,130
haven't they, if they can make a clone,

1699
01:00:36,290 --> 01:00:37,950
why haven't they perfected it?

1700
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:39,710
I mean, I've heard the reasoning behind it,

1701
01:00:39,990 --> 01:00:42,070
that it kind of actually looks like the

1702
01:00:42,070 --> 01:00:43,390
person is not a clone.

1703
01:00:43,810 --> 01:00:45,690
If he doesn't look like him, if he

1704
01:00:45,690 --> 01:00:47,670
doesn't think like him, if he doesn't act

1705
01:00:47,670 --> 01:00:49,210
like him, it's not a clone.

1706
01:00:51,130 --> 01:00:52,090
It's detectable.

1707
01:00:52,670 --> 01:00:55,450
Well, if you're going to, I can see

1708
01:00:55,450 --> 01:00:57,850
the, I can see somebody coming up with

1709
01:00:57,850 --> 01:00:58,430
reasons.

1710
01:00:58,730 --> 01:01:01,050
I mean, for one thing, the developmental aspects

1711
01:01:01,050 --> 01:01:05,750
of a person, you, you can develop worry

1712
01:01:05,750 --> 01:01:09,810
lines and using aging, just normal process of

1713
01:01:09,810 --> 01:01:10,870
getting older and older.

1714
01:01:11,370 --> 01:01:13,730
You, you know, you might get a bad

1715
01:01:13,730 --> 01:01:16,830
habit that creates a line in your face

1716
01:01:16,830 --> 01:01:19,350
or you ate too much and you're getting

1717
01:01:19,350 --> 01:01:20,050
a chubby face.

1718
01:01:20,050 --> 01:01:21,890
I mean, there's all these variables that you,

1719
01:01:21,950 --> 01:01:24,970
you can't control in terms of making a

1720
01:01:24,970 --> 01:01:25,290
copy.

1721
01:01:25,390 --> 01:01:28,350
So you might have what somebody should ideally

1722
01:01:28,350 --> 01:01:28,970
look like.

1723
01:01:29,330 --> 01:01:31,930
Genetically, they'd look like this if they hadn't,

1724
01:01:31,930 --> 01:01:33,950
you know, chubbed out when they were in

1725
01:01:33,950 --> 01:01:35,750
their thirties and then lost a lot of

1726
01:01:35,750 --> 01:01:35,990
weight.

1727
01:01:36,330 --> 01:01:36,830
Congratulations.

1728
01:01:38,590 --> 01:01:41,550
You have nailed the theory of clone difference

1729
01:01:41,550 --> 01:01:42,290
to the T.

1730
01:01:42,730 --> 01:01:43,810
It's exactly right.

1731
01:01:43,810 --> 01:01:46,270
Because even though you can make the clone

1732
01:01:46,270 --> 01:01:49,550
and you can't control what the clone eats

1733
01:01:49,550 --> 01:01:52,250
and, and the different environment they live in

1734
01:01:52,250 --> 01:01:55,870
versus their original DNA donor.

1735
01:01:56,150 --> 01:01:57,550
That is exactly the theory.

1736
01:01:57,650 --> 01:01:58,410
That's how it goes.

1737
01:01:58,930 --> 01:02:01,070
And who knows if that phone call was

1738
01:02:01,070 --> 01:02:01,690
the real Trump?

1739
01:02:01,770 --> 01:02:02,510
We don't know anything.

1740
01:02:02,650 --> 01:02:03,310
Breaking news.

1741
01:02:03,450 --> 01:02:04,510
Nobody knows anything.

1742
01:02:05,330 --> 01:02:07,130
I don't even know if that's a basic

1743
01:02:07,130 --> 01:02:08,350
thesis of the show.

1744
01:02:08,410 --> 01:02:09,750
I don't even know if you're John C.

1745
01:02:09,790 --> 01:02:10,590
Dvorak anymore.

1746
01:02:10,670 --> 01:02:11,950
I haven't seen you in a couple of

1747
01:02:11,950 --> 01:02:12,230
years.

1748
01:02:12,310 --> 01:02:12,770
I don't know.

1749
01:02:12,770 --> 01:02:13,810
They may have replaced you.

1750
01:02:14,030 --> 01:02:15,430
I could be a clone myself.

1751
01:02:15,870 --> 01:02:18,290
Well, that's why I'm talking like this.

1752
01:02:18,370 --> 01:02:19,950
Well, they nailed it on the attitude.

1753
01:02:20,430 --> 01:02:21,690
So good job, science.

1754
01:02:21,790 --> 01:02:22,510
That's all it takes.

1755
01:02:22,610 --> 01:02:23,350
It's just genetic.

1756
01:02:24,290 --> 01:02:25,330
Nothing you can do about it.

1757
01:02:26,550 --> 01:02:29,550
Anyway, Reuters went to the much more important

1758
01:02:29,550 --> 01:02:31,670
things of the summit meeting.

1759
01:02:32,050 --> 01:02:34,770
Obviously, Reuters, they would take the high road.

1760
01:02:34,910 --> 01:02:37,510
Another talking point from Monday's White House meeting,

1761
01:02:38,110 --> 01:02:39,090
that suit.

1762
01:02:39,410 --> 01:02:42,050
President Zelensky, you look fabulous in that suit.

1763
01:02:43,590 --> 01:02:46,990
Zelensky's black shirt and blazer combo certainly made

1764
01:02:46,990 --> 01:02:50,190
diplomatic waves, as well as keeping Donald Trump

1765
01:02:50,190 --> 01:02:52,310
and journalist Brian Glenn happy.

1766
01:02:52,470 --> 01:02:54,570
He was the one who called out Zelensky

1767
01:02:54,570 --> 01:02:56,010
for his attire in February.

1768
01:02:57,710 --> 01:03:01,690
Behind the new look, Ukrainian designer Viktor Anisimov.

1769
01:03:02,370 --> 01:03:04,830
He told us he didn't tailor the look

1770
01:03:04,830 --> 01:03:06,970
for Trump or anyone else.

1771
01:03:09,170 --> 01:03:12,070
He says a leader should look dignified.

1772
01:03:12,350 --> 01:03:13,290
And that's it.

1773
01:03:13,750 --> 01:03:15,870
And it was all very last minute.

1774
01:03:16,410 --> 01:03:19,270
Anisimov saying that he was working on alterations

1775
01:03:19,270 --> 01:03:22,530
until just before Zelensky flew out to Washington.

1776
01:03:22,830 --> 01:03:24,630
I love that Reuters actually went through the

1777
01:03:24,630 --> 01:03:27,190
trouble of trying to find the designer of

1778
01:03:27,190 --> 01:03:27,810
the suits.

1779
01:03:28,310 --> 01:03:30,850
Well, that's interesting because they tried to at

1780
01:03:30,850 --> 01:03:33,390
least Fox tried to promote it as they

1781
01:03:33,390 --> 01:03:35,710
bought the suit that day at one of

1782
01:03:35,710 --> 01:03:39,090
the clothing stores in New York or in

1783
01:03:39,090 --> 01:03:39,570
Washington.

1784
01:03:39,790 --> 01:03:41,070
Like H&M off the rack.

1785
01:03:41,170 --> 01:03:41,810
That's mean.

1786
01:03:42,170 --> 01:03:43,150
That's just Fox.

1787
01:03:43,330 --> 01:03:44,730
That's just Fox being Fox.

1788
01:03:46,050 --> 01:03:46,310
Yeah.

1789
01:03:48,090 --> 01:03:51,010
Yeah, it doesn't take that long.

1790
01:03:51,390 --> 01:03:53,170
You know, if you're in Asia for people

1791
01:03:53,170 --> 01:03:55,070
out there who if you ever travel to

1792
01:03:55,070 --> 01:03:56,990
anyone out there once it goes to Korea,

1793
01:03:57,150 --> 01:03:59,050
I'd say even Taiwan to a lesser extent.

1794
01:03:59,090 --> 01:04:00,310
But Korea is the main place.

1795
01:04:00,310 --> 01:04:04,290
They have the suit makers in in Itaewon

1796
01:04:04,290 --> 01:04:05,010
district.

1797
01:04:05,290 --> 01:04:06,630
There's a bunch of these clothing places.

1798
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:07,950
I know, John, you used to have your

1799
01:04:07,950 --> 01:04:08,610
shirts made.

1800
01:04:08,750 --> 01:04:09,610
Tell them about the pocket.

1801
01:04:11,210 --> 01:04:11,790
And I would have.

1802
01:04:12,830 --> 01:04:14,450
Well, I wasn't going to talk about the

1803
01:04:14,450 --> 01:04:14,610
shirt.

1804
01:04:14,610 --> 01:04:15,210
You are now.

1805
01:04:15,470 --> 01:04:16,010
You are now.

1806
01:04:16,130 --> 01:04:17,850
OK, I have I used to have custom

1807
01:04:17,850 --> 01:04:19,910
shirts made and I always had a Perry

1808
01:04:19,910 --> 01:04:22,610
Ellis pleat put in the shoulders, which was,

1809
01:04:22,690 --> 01:04:24,450
you know, and also do any place else.

1810
01:04:24,470 --> 01:04:25,650
So what they do in Hong Kong to

1811
01:04:25,650 --> 01:04:27,150
what kind of pleat?

1812
01:04:27,150 --> 01:04:29,390
It's a pleat that's on the shoulders that

1813
01:04:29,390 --> 01:04:29,770
I notice.

1814
01:04:29,870 --> 01:04:31,310
And Perry Ellis shirts used to have.

1815
01:04:31,450 --> 01:04:33,010
I noticed it on a bartender once and

1816
01:04:33,010 --> 01:04:35,010
I asked him because it has a certain

1817
01:04:35,010 --> 01:04:35,850
look to it.

1818
01:04:36,190 --> 01:04:37,530
It's a beautiful look.

1819
01:04:38,190 --> 01:04:40,490
Imperiella is the name of the Perry Ellis.

1820
01:04:40,770 --> 01:04:41,490
Oh, Perry Ellis.

1821
01:04:41,710 --> 01:04:42,510
Perry Ellis.

1822
01:04:42,810 --> 01:04:44,450
The Perry Ellis cleats.

1823
01:04:44,530 --> 01:04:46,110
OK, pleat pleats.

1824
01:04:47,050 --> 01:04:48,390
OK, Perry.

1825
01:04:48,570 --> 01:04:50,190
I'm just trying to get it anyway so

1826
01:04:50,190 --> 01:04:50,950
you can have this done.

1827
01:04:51,010 --> 01:04:52,390
So I have these shirts made with that

1828
01:04:52,390 --> 01:04:55,030
pleat, which is technically illegal.

1829
01:04:55,030 --> 01:04:56,070
Yeah, but the.

1830
01:04:57,210 --> 01:04:59,610
Because it's copyrighted or something.

1831
01:05:00,030 --> 01:05:02,390
But anyway, so I always had my the

1832
01:05:02,390 --> 01:05:04,650
shirt pockets were the exact same size as

1833
01:05:04,650 --> 01:05:05,410
a CD.

1834
01:05:05,830 --> 01:05:07,390
So when you go to a party and

1835
01:05:07,390 --> 01:05:10,070
you want to steal somebody's CDs, you could

1836
01:05:10,070 --> 01:05:11,870
easily slip them in the shirt pocket.

1837
01:05:12,010 --> 01:05:12,810
They go right to the bottom.

1838
01:05:13,110 --> 01:05:13,290
Boom.

1839
01:05:13,390 --> 01:05:14,730
Don't even know you had them.

1840
01:05:16,730 --> 01:05:19,330
How many CDs did you wind up stealing?

1841
01:05:19,410 --> 01:05:20,870
I never stole one.

1842
01:05:20,970 --> 01:05:22,610
I just just in case.

1843
01:05:22,610 --> 01:05:25,090
Just in case you need to need.

1844
01:05:25,330 --> 01:05:27,410
If I had to, I had the I

1845
01:05:27,410 --> 01:05:29,010
had the I had the means.

1846
01:05:29,630 --> 01:05:30,290
Cop a disc.

1847
01:05:32,050 --> 01:05:32,450
Yeah.

1848
01:05:32,550 --> 01:05:33,770
So there's big pockets.

1849
01:05:34,890 --> 01:05:35,930
Pockets are large.

1850
01:05:36,490 --> 01:05:38,250
Now, the question is, was it a five

1851
01:05:38,250 --> 01:05:38,990
inch floppy?

1852
01:05:39,750 --> 01:05:42,330
No, it's a CD with it, with it,

1853
01:05:42,350 --> 01:05:44,030
with the CD jewel case.

1854
01:05:44,090 --> 01:05:44,610
It had to be.

1855
01:05:44,670 --> 01:05:46,670
It was the size of a jewel case

1856
01:05:46,670 --> 01:05:47,030
CD.

1857
01:05:48,110 --> 01:05:50,490
Hey, man, that guy's got some awesome tunes.

1858
01:05:50,490 --> 01:05:52,670
I'm going to steal his CD.

1859
01:05:56,110 --> 01:05:57,170
You're a treasure.

1860
01:05:57,810 --> 01:05:58,210
Oh, yeah.

1861
01:05:58,370 --> 01:05:59,590
And by the way, I would be all

1862
01:05:59,590 --> 01:06:01,770
for clones of us taking over the show.

1863
01:06:02,190 --> 01:06:02,670
I'm good.

1864
01:06:02,870 --> 01:06:04,070
Put me in a tiny home.

1865
01:06:04,710 --> 01:06:05,030
Perfect.

1866
01:06:05,390 --> 01:06:05,950
Let's go.

1867
01:06:06,150 --> 01:06:09,390
With growing doubts about America's willingness to defend

1868
01:06:09,390 --> 01:06:13,430
its allies, especially under President Trump, some lawmakers

1869
01:06:13,430 --> 01:06:17,250
are now discussing hosting, sharing or even developing

1870
01:06:17,250 --> 01:06:18,190
nuclear weapons.

1871
01:06:18,570 --> 01:06:20,150
They just threw that in.

1872
01:06:20,950 --> 01:06:21,390
Wow.

1873
01:06:21,530 --> 01:06:22,510
They just threw that in.

1874
01:06:23,390 --> 01:06:24,850
Oh, they're just asking for trouble.

1875
01:06:24,990 --> 01:06:27,050
OK, well, now we're ready for my three

1876
01:06:27,050 --> 01:06:27,510
clips.

1877
01:06:27,690 --> 01:06:28,330
Yeah, yeah.

1878
01:06:28,430 --> 01:06:29,370
Well, hold on.

1879
01:06:29,630 --> 01:06:31,310
You get any more because you get them

1880
01:06:31,310 --> 01:06:31,690
out of the way.

1881
01:06:31,830 --> 01:06:33,810
Because this is it'll be done after this.

1882
01:06:33,870 --> 01:06:34,070
I know.

1883
01:06:34,190 --> 01:06:36,270
Last one from Reuters about the whole security

1884
01:06:36,270 --> 01:06:36,590
deal.

1885
01:06:36,770 --> 01:06:39,170
President Trump is weighing whether to offer U

1886
01:06:39,170 --> 01:06:43,110
.S. air support, potentially including fighter jets.

1887
01:06:43,170 --> 01:06:44,710
What is up with this is Reuters.

1888
01:06:44,850 --> 01:06:45,790
They're a news agency.

1889
01:06:45,910 --> 01:06:48,090
They're kind of dramatizing everything.

1890
01:06:50,490 --> 01:06:53,450
President Trump is weighing whether to offer U

1891
01:06:53,450 --> 01:06:58,070
.S. air support, potentially including fighter jets to

1892
01:06:58,070 --> 01:07:02,250
guarantee Ukraine's security in any future peace deal

1893
01:07:02,250 --> 01:07:02,930
with Russia.

1894
01:07:03,570 --> 01:07:06,590
Military planners in Washington and Europe are exploring

1895
01:07:06,590 --> 01:07:10,790
options for post-conflict security following Trump's meeting

1896
01:07:10,790 --> 01:07:14,330
with Ukraine's president and EU leaders, which ended

1897
01:07:14,330 --> 01:07:17,490
with plans for direct talks with Russia's Vladimir

1898
01:07:17,490 --> 01:07:17,950
Putin.

1899
01:07:17,950 --> 01:07:20,630
Steve Holland has more on the U.S.

1900
01:07:20,790 --> 01:07:21,330
calculations.

1901
01:07:22,030 --> 01:07:24,790
One of the things they're not considering is

1902
01:07:24,790 --> 01:07:26,850
putting U.S. troops on the ground.

1903
01:07:27,010 --> 01:07:29,190
That idea bubbled up in the last few

1904
01:07:29,190 --> 01:07:32,270
days, and President Trump has basically shot that

1905
01:07:32,270 --> 01:07:32,950
thing down.

1906
01:07:33,290 --> 01:07:35,930
But other ideas that are possible are the

1907
01:07:35,930 --> 01:07:40,810
United States providing air support for whatever peacekeeping

1908
01:07:40,810 --> 01:07:43,630
buffer is there along the border.

1909
01:07:43,630 --> 01:07:47,170
There's also the possibility of supplying air defense

1910
01:07:47,170 --> 01:07:50,890
systems to Ukraine to protect them from these

1911
01:07:50,890 --> 01:07:52,850
drone attacks, missile attacks from Russia.

1912
01:07:53,490 --> 01:07:56,350
Theoretically, if there's a halt to the fighting,

1913
01:07:56,930 --> 01:07:59,590
these people would be there on a peacekeeping

1914
01:07:59,590 --> 01:08:00,190
basis.

1915
01:08:00,690 --> 01:08:03,630
Another option, according to two sources Reuters spoke

1916
01:08:03,630 --> 01:08:07,310
with, is sending European forces to Ukraine but

1917
01:08:07,310 --> 01:08:09,630
putting the U.S. in charge of them.

1918
01:08:10,190 --> 01:08:12,970
Whatever is worked out, President Trump will need

1919
01:08:12,970 --> 01:08:14,870
to allay fears domestically.

1920
01:08:15,310 --> 01:08:18,990
The American public is largely supportive of Ukraine,

1921
01:08:19,130 --> 01:08:23,210
but they're also leery of more foreign entanglements.

1922
01:08:23,830 --> 01:08:26,470
Trump was elected on one of the notions

1923
01:08:26,470 --> 01:08:28,529
that he would not involve the United States

1924
01:08:28,529 --> 01:08:30,149
in overseas conflicts.

1925
01:08:30,649 --> 01:08:33,590
He has stuck to that, and by ruling

1926
01:08:33,590 --> 01:08:35,410
out troops, he's trying to stick to that

1927
01:08:35,410 --> 01:08:35,890
as well.

1928
01:08:35,890 --> 01:08:39,830
But his MAGA base of supporters, they are

1929
01:08:39,830 --> 01:08:41,550
really against this sort of thing.

1930
01:08:41,670 --> 01:08:44,010
So Trump would have to provide them some

1931
01:08:44,010 --> 01:08:47,109
sort of reassurances that the United States is

1932
01:08:47,109 --> 01:08:48,609
not going to get into a hot war

1933
01:08:48,609 --> 01:08:49,290
against Russia.

1934
01:08:49,710 --> 01:08:52,390
Yeah, because otherwise Dave Smith will get angry

1935
01:08:52,390 --> 01:08:54,090
and Scott Horton will freak out.

1936
01:08:55,569 --> 01:08:57,830
How's that Middle East war going against Iran

1937
01:08:57,830 --> 01:08:58,790
that we were going to be in?

1938
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,439
Yeah, those guys are nuts.

1939
01:09:05,020 --> 01:09:06,279
By the way, you took me off the

1940
01:09:06,279 --> 01:09:07,620
track with that shirt story.

1941
01:09:07,620 --> 01:09:09,840
I meant to talk about getting a suit,

1942
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:13,319
tailor made suit in Korea, which is what

1943
01:09:13,319 --> 01:09:14,359
people can do.

1944
01:09:14,500 --> 01:09:15,640
If you go to, and I was saying,

1945
01:09:15,700 --> 01:09:17,260
if you go to Korea, make sure to

1946
01:09:17,260 --> 01:09:18,200
go to this district.

1947
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:20,779
There's a number of stores that do this.

1948
01:09:21,319 --> 01:09:24,200
Shop around because there's about, the price differs

1949
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:25,779
a bit, but you can get a tailor

1950
01:09:25,779 --> 01:09:29,760
made suit for about $200 to $250 and

1951
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:32,359
a tailor made sport coat for $150.

1952
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:35,660
They'll fit you and then do the adjustments

1953
01:09:35,660 --> 01:09:36,540
in the same day.

1954
01:09:36,540 --> 01:09:38,600
You'll have a complete suit the next day.

1955
01:09:38,700 --> 01:09:42,479
It doesn't take forever if they have the

1956
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:43,080
infrastructure.

1957
01:09:44,399 --> 01:09:47,500
So the idea that Zelensky had to go

1958
01:09:47,500 --> 01:09:50,260
for a million, you know, sit down, get

1959
01:09:50,260 --> 01:09:50,680
a jacket.

1960
01:09:51,060 --> 01:09:54,580
But this is haute couture, you know, Ukrainian

1961
01:09:54,580 --> 01:09:55,600
fashion.

1962
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:57,640
You know what?

1963
01:09:58,220 --> 01:10:00,140
I am going to tell you right now

1964
01:10:00,140 --> 01:10:03,880
that in the next Paris fashion shows, I

1965
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:05,400
don't know when they're coming up, fall, maybe

1966
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:06,640
the fall fashion show.

1967
01:10:07,460 --> 01:10:08,620
There will be black on black.

1968
01:10:09,100 --> 01:10:13,180
There will be Zelensky inspired fashion.

1969
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:17,600
It'll be from some previously unknown Ukrainian fashion

1970
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,640
designer and people will love it.

1971
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:22,060
Oh, this is fabulous.

1972
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:23,500
Very much.

1973
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:24,960
Very Zelensky of you.

1974
01:10:25,300 --> 01:10:26,320
Very Zelensky of you.

1975
01:10:28,440 --> 01:10:31,100
By the way, let me just say, trolls.

1976
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:35,240
Dunk, go, oh yeah, dunk on the pro

1977
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:35,780
-peace people.

1978
01:10:35,900 --> 01:10:38,160
We're anti-war and pro-peace too.

1979
01:10:40,630 --> 01:10:42,730
Doesn't mean that some things don't have to

1980
01:10:42,730 --> 01:10:42,870
happen.

1981
01:10:42,870 --> 01:10:45,330
Well, I think the pro-peace people, in

1982
01:10:45,330 --> 01:10:48,450
many instances, as proven by these next three

1983
01:10:48,450 --> 01:10:49,870
clips, may be just stooges.

1984
01:10:50,690 --> 01:10:52,350
And I would say this chat room probably

1985
01:10:52,350 --> 01:10:55,310
has more than a few stooges for China.

1986
01:10:55,630 --> 01:10:58,490
Ah, there you go, because that's what the

1987
01:10:58,490 --> 01:11:01,030
bombing of Iran was about, in my opinion.

1988
01:11:01,030 --> 01:11:05,810
Now, this is an analyst who's in the

1989
01:11:05,810 --> 01:11:07,770
intelligence side of things, so he's a little

1990
01:11:07,770 --> 01:11:10,170
different in his approach to thinking about China.

1991
01:11:10,670 --> 01:11:13,710
But when they're talking about the situation going

1992
01:11:13,710 --> 01:11:16,630
on in Ukraine and you're talking about trilateral,

1993
01:11:17,250 --> 01:11:18,570
what comes to mind?

1994
01:11:20,150 --> 01:11:22,890
When I think about the situation in Ukraine

1995
01:11:22,890 --> 01:11:29,240
and I think about trilateral, this is a

1996
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:30,760
riddle I don't know if I can solve.

1997
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,420
Well, it shouldn't be hard for you to

1998
01:11:33,420 --> 01:11:33,660
say.

1999
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:37,280
It means that the Russians, the Ukrainians, and

2000
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:39,580
Trump are going to get together in a

2001
01:11:39,580 --> 01:11:41,400
trilateral, three-way meeting.

2002
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:42,840
Yes, a threesome.

2003
01:11:42,980 --> 01:11:45,720
That's what everybody thinks trilaterals are all about,

2004
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:46,100
right?

2005
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:49,160
That would be, yes, right, right, right, right,

2006
01:11:49,260 --> 01:11:49,540
right, right.

2007
01:11:49,540 --> 01:11:52,080
You can't end the sentence with right, right?

2008
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:53,020
Right.

2009
01:11:53,140 --> 01:11:53,380
Right.

2010
01:11:54,180 --> 01:11:55,340
You can't, you're right.

2011
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:55,880
Right.

2012
01:11:55,880 --> 01:12:01,000
So not according to this analyst, this guy

2013
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,420
has a different look at things and he

2014
01:12:03,420 --> 01:12:06,840
thinks that this war is designed to drag

2015
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,400
on and he's got his own reasons.

2016
01:12:09,540 --> 01:12:13,700
This is quite an interesting analysis, which nobody

2017
01:12:13,700 --> 01:12:15,760
has even discussed or come close to.

2018
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:18,580
This is the new Russian trilat one.

2019
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:20,920
And joining us now to discuss these latest

2020
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,580
developments is National Security Advisor and China analyst

2021
01:12:23,580 --> 01:12:24,420
Casey Fleming.

2022
01:12:24,420 --> 01:12:26,500
He's the CEO of Black Ops Partners.

2023
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:27,900
Casey, as always, thank you so much for

2024
01:12:27,900 --> 01:12:28,300
joining us.

2025
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,160
Now, all eyes are on how the Russia

2026
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:31,920
-Ukraine conflict is going to end.

2027
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,080
Russia has just indicated it wants a trilateral

2028
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:36,560
with India and China.

2029
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:38,980
What could this mean in terms of Putin

2030
01:12:38,980 --> 01:12:41,520
ending or continuing the war in Ukraine?

2031
01:12:41,580 --> 01:12:43,380
I think what we're looking at, and my

2032
01:12:43,380 --> 01:12:44,900
team thinks that what we're looking at is

2033
01:12:44,900 --> 01:12:47,840
an extended peace negotiation.

2034
01:12:48,580 --> 01:12:49,660
We've got two sides.

2035
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:51,920
We've got the United States and Ukraine who

2036
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:53,560
want an immediate end to the war.

2037
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:55,680
And you've got the other side, which is

2038
01:12:55,680 --> 01:13:00,660
China, Russia and other allies of China and

2039
01:13:00,660 --> 01:13:03,380
Russia who want to keep it extended.

2040
01:13:03,620 --> 01:13:04,780
And they play the long game.

2041
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:06,200
So we want to play the short game

2042
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:09,280
to a quick ceasefire and a quick peace

2043
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:09,600
agreement.

2044
01:13:09,900 --> 01:13:13,560
But the other negotiators, the adversaries, want to

2045
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:14,600
keep it much longer.

2046
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,060
The CCP is the wild card in this

2047
01:13:17,060 --> 01:13:17,280
thing.

2048
01:13:17,340 --> 01:13:18,960
The CCP plays the long game.

2049
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:21,420
They want to keep Russia engaged in Ukraine.

2050
01:13:21,420 --> 01:13:25,140
Therefore, the U.S. engaged in Ukraine to

2051
01:13:25,140 --> 01:13:28,420
keep us distracted, along with the Middle East

2052
01:13:28,420 --> 01:13:31,120
and potentially another war that pops up, either

2053
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:32,420
Taiwan or North Korea.

2054
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,880
So the game for the CCP is to

2055
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:39,860
keep the United States very distracted so they

2056
01:13:39,860 --> 01:13:42,780
can continue their extreme aggression throughout the rest

2057
01:13:42,780 --> 01:13:43,180
of the world.

2058
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:47,440
Oh, this doesn't surprise me that the NTD

2059
01:13:47,440 --> 01:13:49,960
China haters would see this as the angle.

2060
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:51,740
That's not so surprising.

2061
01:13:53,300 --> 01:13:56,820
Well, I agree 100 percent with the NTD

2062
01:13:56,820 --> 01:14:00,780
China haters because they're totally on board.

2063
01:14:01,340 --> 01:14:04,120
China is running away from everywhere.

2064
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,340
I just read that Angola.

2065
01:14:07,340 --> 01:14:09,460
But you maybe have been duped.

2066
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:14,060
What, that 300,000 Chinese are fleeing Angola

2067
01:14:14,060 --> 01:14:16,180
because the Angolans are sick and tired of

2068
01:14:16,180 --> 01:14:17,460
their Belt and Road lies?

2069
01:14:19,610 --> 01:14:20,510
You may be.

2070
01:14:20,670 --> 01:14:21,330
Maybe that's not.

2071
01:14:21,530 --> 01:14:22,890
Maybe you've been duped.

2072
01:14:23,110 --> 01:14:26,550
I mean, I agree that this is NTD

2073
01:14:26,550 --> 01:14:27,410
China.

2074
01:14:27,710 --> 01:14:27,950
The worst.

2075
01:14:28,110 --> 01:14:29,590
This is what that's the reason I have

2076
01:14:29,590 --> 01:14:30,070
these clips.

2077
01:14:30,630 --> 01:14:32,750
This is the worst case analysis.

2078
01:14:32,810 --> 01:14:34,150
It's not like best case.

2079
01:14:34,310 --> 01:14:35,090
OK, OK.

2080
01:14:35,370 --> 01:14:36,010
Well, it's good.

2081
01:14:36,190 --> 01:14:36,850
It's the worst case.

2082
01:14:36,930 --> 01:14:38,750
And I'm looking at China as the bad

2083
01:14:38,750 --> 01:14:41,090
guy in everything you do, everything you see,

2084
01:14:41,170 --> 01:14:43,530
everything you eat, everything you buy is China.

2085
01:14:43,610 --> 01:14:43,830
Best.

2086
01:14:43,950 --> 01:14:45,130
And so it's OK.

2087
01:14:45,210 --> 01:14:47,670
So we're continue with that thesis in mind.

2088
01:14:47,670 --> 01:14:49,930
On that note, both China and India have

2089
01:14:49,930 --> 01:14:51,730
been buying Russian oil, which the U.S.

2090
01:14:51,750 --> 01:14:53,550
says has been helping to fund the conflict,

2091
01:14:53,610 --> 01:14:56,210
although India has been buying less since President

2092
01:14:56,210 --> 01:14:58,830
Trump slashed additional tariffs on Indian exports to

2093
01:14:58,830 --> 01:15:00,090
the U.S. over its Russian oil and

2094
01:15:00,090 --> 01:15:00,770
gas imports.

2095
01:15:01,130 --> 01:15:03,170
But reports note that China is involved with

2096
01:15:03,170 --> 01:15:04,970
more than just economic support.

2097
01:15:05,110 --> 01:15:07,290
Some note the no limits partnership that was

2098
01:15:07,290 --> 01:15:08,790
struck right before the invasion.

2099
01:15:09,250 --> 01:15:11,090
What has been China's role here?

2100
01:15:11,490 --> 01:15:14,110
China's role has been very supportive of Russia.

2101
01:15:14,910 --> 01:15:18,990
You remember that they created a very strong

2102
01:15:18,990 --> 01:15:23,190
alliance and agreement, friends until the end, before

2103
01:15:23,190 --> 01:15:25,990
Russia ever went into Ukraine.

2104
01:15:26,430 --> 01:15:29,930
So there's a strategic partnership there, at least

2105
01:15:29,930 --> 01:15:33,290
for now, where they are aligned against the

2106
01:15:33,290 --> 01:15:37,410
United States and to remove the United States

2107
01:15:37,410 --> 01:15:40,510
as a global superpower and for the CCP's

2108
01:15:40,510 --> 01:15:43,410
eventual rule of the rest of the world.

2109
01:15:43,410 --> 01:15:46,570
So it's a partnership that we cannot ignore.

2110
01:15:47,010 --> 01:15:49,770
The CCP is the wild card in this

2111
01:15:49,770 --> 01:15:50,530
situation.

2112
01:15:51,050 --> 01:15:54,090
They are the grand puppet master with Russia,

2113
01:15:54,310 --> 01:15:57,770
Iran, Pakistan, North Korea underneath that, and to

2114
01:15:57,770 --> 01:16:00,070
a little bit of an extent, India as

2115
01:16:00,070 --> 01:16:00,330
well.

2116
01:16:01,070 --> 01:16:03,030
So China is the wild card.

2117
01:16:03,150 --> 01:16:04,550
They want to keep this war going as

2118
01:16:04,550 --> 01:16:05,930
long as they possibly can.

2119
01:16:06,790 --> 01:16:09,790
And if there is a temporary ceasefire or

2120
01:16:09,790 --> 01:16:13,030
a, quote, temporary peace agreement, it will be

2121
01:16:13,030 --> 01:16:13,570
temporary.

2122
01:16:14,290 --> 01:16:14,590
Okay.

2123
01:16:14,990 --> 01:16:17,590
And does he explain just how China is

2124
01:16:17,590 --> 01:16:20,430
going to keep this war going as long

2125
01:16:20,430 --> 01:16:21,070
as possible?

2126
01:16:21,290 --> 01:16:22,290
I mean, are they going to do that

2127
01:16:22,290 --> 01:16:24,550
through their misinformation?

2128
01:16:25,710 --> 01:16:27,350
But what are they going to, what tools

2129
01:16:27,350 --> 01:16:28,350
do they have for this?

2130
01:16:29,250 --> 01:16:30,130
Tucker Carlson.

2131
01:16:31,430 --> 01:16:33,150
What do you mean, Tucker Carlson?

2132
01:16:33,150 --> 01:16:34,830
Is he a pro-China guy all of

2133
01:16:34,830 --> 01:16:35,190
a sudden?

2134
01:16:35,710 --> 01:16:37,670
I don't think, I think there's a lot

2135
01:16:37,670 --> 01:16:39,970
of unwitting dupes.

2136
01:16:39,970 --> 01:16:42,150
You named a couple of them, the so

2137
01:16:42,150 --> 01:16:44,450
-called peaceniks, the people in the chat room

2138
01:16:44,450 --> 01:16:47,870
that condemn us when in fact we're the

2139
01:16:47,870 --> 01:16:48,570
peaceniks.

2140
01:16:48,810 --> 01:16:49,170
But why?

2141
01:16:49,510 --> 01:16:50,790
Okay, hold on, hold on.

2142
01:16:50,930 --> 01:16:52,090
I'm with you.

2143
01:16:52,170 --> 01:16:54,950
I'm just trying to understand where to look

2144
01:16:54,950 --> 01:16:55,610
for this.

2145
01:16:56,950 --> 01:16:59,230
They're clearly not getting a phone call saying,

2146
01:16:59,550 --> 01:17:02,230
hey, best price, say more Russia, bad.

2147
01:17:02,470 --> 01:17:04,750
I think a good example is Mr. Peepers

2148
01:17:04,750 --> 01:17:07,670
at the sit down with Maloney in the

2149
01:17:07,670 --> 01:17:10,350
middle, rolling your eyes, and he's going on

2150
01:17:10,350 --> 01:17:13,210
and on about how we should demand a

2151
01:17:13,210 --> 01:17:16,810
ceasefire instead of the peace agreement.

2152
01:17:19,790 --> 01:17:22,530
I'm with you on the European Union, Stooges,

2153
01:17:22,590 --> 01:17:23,290
for sure.

2154
01:17:23,850 --> 01:17:26,810
Because we know it just by what we

2155
01:17:26,810 --> 01:17:29,010
know, which is the ceasefire is a non

2156
01:17:29,010 --> 01:17:32,870
-starter for Putin because he knows that all

2157
01:17:32,870 --> 01:17:34,450
that means is just going to be a

2158
01:17:34,450 --> 01:17:38,350
pause so Ukraine can regroup and re-attack.

2159
01:17:38,910 --> 01:17:40,570
And so they can't have that.

2160
01:17:41,070 --> 01:17:43,010
And they're not going to do a ceasefire

2161
01:17:43,010 --> 01:17:44,330
under the circumstances.

2162
01:17:44,330 --> 01:17:46,830
But yet, why is Mr. Peepers pushing it

2163
01:17:46,830 --> 01:17:48,870
out of the blue, knowing full well what

2164
01:17:48,870 --> 01:17:50,630
happened with Trump and Putin?

2165
01:17:50,750 --> 01:17:52,930
But he's yack, yack, yacking it right there

2166
01:17:52,930 --> 01:17:54,550
with Maloney in the middle.

2167
01:17:55,210 --> 01:17:57,970
So I say the Chinese got there, and

2168
01:17:57,970 --> 01:18:00,310
like this guy says, they're puppet masters.

2169
01:18:00,370 --> 01:18:02,910
They got these puppets, and the puppets are

2170
01:18:02,910 --> 01:18:04,490
everywhere, according to him.

2171
01:18:04,870 --> 01:18:06,650
And I think there's some evidence of that.

2172
01:18:06,650 --> 01:18:08,890
First of all, Maloney in the middle just

2173
01:18:08,890 --> 01:18:10,430
sounds like a cool game.

2174
01:18:11,350 --> 01:18:12,950
I mean, it's like, spin the bottle on

2175
01:18:12,950 --> 01:18:13,570
steroids.

2176
01:18:13,710 --> 01:18:14,830
Maloney in the middle.

2177
01:18:17,250 --> 01:18:19,230
Well, I'll ask you the question after you

2178
01:18:19,230 --> 01:18:20,610
set up the last clip of this.

2179
01:18:20,670 --> 01:18:21,790
And I have a question about this.

2180
01:18:23,030 --> 01:18:25,170
And speaking of alliances, Casey, what about the

2181
01:18:25,170 --> 01:18:27,650
North Korean troops fighting alongside the Russians?

2182
01:18:27,770 --> 01:18:28,930
How should we read that?

2183
01:18:29,430 --> 01:18:32,890
The strong alliance, like I mentioned, China is

2184
01:18:32,890 --> 01:18:36,110
the grand puppeteer, the grand master puppeteer.

2185
01:18:36,650 --> 01:18:40,550
With Russia, Iran, Pakistan, and North Korea underneath

2186
01:18:40,550 --> 01:18:41,290
that piece of it.

2187
01:18:41,630 --> 01:18:42,510
And just to add a little bit of

2188
01:18:42,510 --> 01:18:45,130
confusion and a little bit more complexity, underneath

2189
01:18:45,130 --> 01:18:48,410
Iran, you have the terrorist organizations.

2190
01:18:48,990 --> 01:18:50,770
So this is all a master plan by

2191
01:18:50,770 --> 01:18:52,030
the Chinese Communist Party.

2192
01:18:52,510 --> 01:18:54,230
I think we as a government, we as

2193
01:18:54,230 --> 01:18:56,570
a country in the free world underestimate China.

2194
01:18:56,770 --> 01:18:59,930
We all have a long history of underestimating

2195
01:18:59,930 --> 01:19:02,770
the Chinese Communist Party, and it's high time

2196
01:19:02,770 --> 01:19:05,570
that we understand just how critical their role

2197
01:19:05,570 --> 01:19:08,370
is in the future developments of the world.

2198
01:19:08,770 --> 01:19:10,530
Expand on that for us a little bit.

2199
01:19:10,630 --> 01:19:12,490
What is China's goal in terms of the

2200
01:19:12,490 --> 01:19:13,750
Russia-Ukraine war here?

2201
01:19:13,810 --> 01:19:15,590
Is it in the Chinese regime's interest for

2202
01:19:15,590 --> 01:19:16,410
it to continue?

2203
01:19:16,930 --> 01:19:17,370
Absolutely.

2204
01:19:18,030 --> 01:19:22,610
They are supplying Russia with finance, buying Russian

2205
01:19:22,610 --> 01:19:26,070
oil and military armaments, including drones.

2206
01:19:26,330 --> 01:19:28,130
So they're fully engaged.

2207
01:19:28,130 --> 01:19:32,570
Again, they want this war to continue indefinitely.

2208
01:19:33,110 --> 01:19:33,770
Hold on a second.

2209
01:19:33,910 --> 01:19:35,710
That's very interesting, and I'll tell you why.

2210
01:19:35,810 --> 01:19:37,250
Let me hear that first bit.

2211
01:19:37,430 --> 01:19:38,850
Expand on that for us a little bit.

2212
01:19:38,930 --> 01:19:40,830
What is China's goal in terms of the

2213
01:19:40,830 --> 01:19:42,070
Russia-Ukraine war here?

2214
01:19:42,170 --> 01:19:43,930
Is it in the Chinese regime's interest for

2215
01:19:43,930 --> 01:19:44,750
it to continue?

2216
01:19:45,210 --> 01:19:45,690
Absolutely.

2217
01:19:46,370 --> 01:19:50,950
They are supplying Russia with finance, buying Russian

2218
01:19:50,950 --> 01:19:54,450
oil and military armaments, including drones.

2219
01:19:54,950 --> 01:19:55,390
Drones.

2220
01:19:55,390 --> 01:19:57,450
The reason I pick up on that is

2221
01:19:57,450 --> 01:20:00,790
because that is a main, was a main

2222
01:20:00,790 --> 01:20:03,850
talking point by Queen Ursula in her Zelensky

2223
01:20:03,850 --> 01:20:06,910
love fest, where she said, well, you know,

2224
01:20:06,910 --> 01:20:08,770
it looks like there's going to be mainly

2225
01:20:08,770 --> 01:20:10,970
drones that we're going to be building in

2226
01:20:10,970 --> 01:20:11,430
Ukraine.

2227
01:20:13,730 --> 01:20:15,130
So it's a twist.

2228
01:20:15,170 --> 01:20:16,690
It's a twist around to think of it,

2229
01:20:16,790 --> 01:20:20,770
but maybe she's also in on this and

2230
01:20:20,770 --> 01:20:21,910
like, well, you know, there's just going to

2231
01:20:21,910 --> 01:20:23,870
be lots of drones because China's going to

2232
01:20:23,870 --> 01:20:25,270
do drones and we might as well do

2233
01:20:25,270 --> 01:20:26,830
drones and we'll just keep this a drone

2234
01:20:26,830 --> 01:20:28,670
thing because it's a big money maker for

2235
01:20:28,670 --> 01:20:30,390
my overlords in China.

2236
01:20:32,410 --> 01:20:33,210
Does that make any sense?

2237
01:20:33,790 --> 01:20:34,490
Yeah, I guess.

2238
01:20:34,570 --> 01:20:34,890
Could be.

2239
01:20:35,070 --> 01:20:35,210
OK.

2240
01:20:35,510 --> 01:20:37,110
So they're fully engaged.

2241
01:20:37,350 --> 01:20:38,110
Again, they want this.

2242
01:20:38,310 --> 01:20:41,530
They want this war to continue indefinitely.

2243
01:20:41,890 --> 01:20:44,810
So it keeps us distracted, keeps us spread

2244
01:20:44,810 --> 01:20:48,850
very thin from supporting, you know, two, three

2245
01:20:48,850 --> 01:20:51,250
wars around the world.

2246
01:20:51,410 --> 01:20:54,170
So CCP has ultimate designs.

2247
01:20:54,170 --> 01:20:55,330
I think when you have to look at

2248
01:20:55,330 --> 01:20:57,330
it, they they want to rule the world

2249
01:20:57,330 --> 01:21:00,530
completely in their 100 year plan, which ends

2250
01:21:00,530 --> 01:21:03,650
in the year 2049 as Xi Jinping and

2251
01:21:03,650 --> 01:21:05,490
the CCP have been overachievers.

2252
01:21:05,990 --> 01:21:07,810
You might want to forecast that being year

2253
01:21:07,810 --> 01:21:11,150
2035, which is 10 short years away.

2254
01:21:11,910 --> 01:21:13,870
And here's a quote from me.

2255
01:21:14,190 --> 01:21:17,610
The world will be won or lost within

2256
01:21:17,610 --> 01:21:18,670
the next 10 years.

2257
01:21:18,670 --> 01:21:22,110
That's from our analysis of what's been going

2258
01:21:22,110 --> 01:21:22,510
on.

2259
01:21:22,790 --> 01:21:24,370
And we've been in this game quite a

2260
01:21:24,370 --> 01:21:24,910
long time.

2261
01:21:26,350 --> 01:21:29,810
Well, here's my question.

2262
01:21:30,350 --> 01:21:34,250
If we have stooges and I'm not going

2263
01:21:34,250 --> 01:21:37,190
to go for podcasters or trolls in the

2264
01:21:37,190 --> 01:21:41,010
troll room, but let's say peepers, maybe Ursula.

2265
01:21:41,070 --> 01:21:41,790
Ursula is corrupt.

2266
01:21:41,930 --> 01:21:43,790
We know that because just look at the

2267
01:21:43,790 --> 01:21:45,010
text gate with Pfizer.

2268
01:21:45,250 --> 01:21:46,930
She's clear and she's not elected.

2269
01:21:46,930 --> 01:21:49,130
She's just showed up all of a sudden

2270
01:21:49,130 --> 01:21:50,650
from peepers land.

2271
01:21:53,670 --> 01:21:56,450
So what is the incentive for them?

2272
01:21:56,490 --> 01:21:57,670
That has to be money.

2273
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:01,820
You're not telling me that they're in it

2274
01:22:01,820 --> 01:22:02,680
just for the power.

2275
01:22:05,570 --> 01:22:06,510
Well, that's a good question.

2276
01:22:06,590 --> 01:22:08,150
And I don't know the answer to it.

2277
01:22:09,890 --> 01:22:11,890
There is an incentive of some sort.

2278
01:22:12,590 --> 01:22:12,890
Money.

2279
01:22:13,130 --> 01:22:14,310
I mean, don't they just want to have

2280
01:22:14,310 --> 01:22:16,110
lots and lots and lots of money and

2281
01:22:16,110 --> 01:22:17,430
just be, you know?

2282
01:22:17,470 --> 01:22:18,910
Well, I think that they would have that

2283
01:22:18,910 --> 01:22:20,330
type of attitude, I'm sure.

2284
01:22:20,710 --> 01:22:23,170
Because, you know, everyone's always jealous of somebody,

2285
01:22:23,390 --> 01:22:25,670
the billionaires of the United States and China,

2286
01:22:25,790 --> 01:22:27,450
which has just as almost as many.

2287
01:22:28,810 --> 01:22:31,750
And their luxury life, life of luxury.

2288
01:22:31,790 --> 01:22:32,270
Yes.

2289
01:22:32,470 --> 01:22:32,750
Villas.

2290
01:22:32,970 --> 01:22:33,210
Yes.

2291
01:22:33,330 --> 01:22:33,910
Here and there.

2292
01:22:34,190 --> 01:22:34,650
They have them.

2293
01:22:34,730 --> 01:22:36,630
Although our people don't do that so much.

2294
01:22:36,710 --> 01:22:36,990
No, no.

2295
01:22:37,010 --> 01:22:38,910
But they like having their hair done in

2296
01:22:38,910 --> 01:22:40,490
Paris and flying around.

2297
01:22:40,790 --> 01:22:41,470
And flying around.

2298
01:22:41,670 --> 01:22:42,250
Flying around.

2299
01:22:42,370 --> 01:22:43,510
Flying around, basically.

2300
01:22:44,110 --> 01:22:45,530
By the way, a lot of those.

2301
01:22:45,530 --> 01:22:46,370
And being extolled.

2302
01:22:46,970 --> 01:22:47,450
Extolled?

2303
01:22:48,050 --> 01:22:48,530
Extolled.

2304
01:22:48,530 --> 01:22:51,950
Oh, look at who I, you know.

2305
01:22:52,150 --> 01:22:52,310
Yeah.

2306
01:22:52,530 --> 01:22:52,830
Yeah.

2307
01:22:53,010 --> 01:22:53,210
Yeah.

2308
01:22:53,710 --> 01:22:54,190
Worshipped.

2309
01:22:54,390 --> 01:22:54,870
Worshipped.

2310
01:22:54,990 --> 01:22:55,230
Yes.

2311
01:22:56,110 --> 01:22:57,710
Well, there's a plan afoot.

2312
01:22:57,890 --> 01:23:00,610
If it's money, if it's money, then there's

2313
01:23:00,610 --> 01:23:00,970
something.

2314
01:23:01,130 --> 01:23:03,390
There's a plan here that.

2315
01:23:03,610 --> 01:23:04,490
Do you mind if I do a little

2316
01:23:04,490 --> 01:23:05,190
series here?

2317
01:23:07,190 --> 01:23:09,530
I relinquish the floor because I gave you

2318
01:23:09,530 --> 01:23:13,030
my screwball analysis that nobody else has even

2319
01:23:13,030 --> 01:23:13,650
touched.

2320
01:23:13,850 --> 01:23:14,330
It's good.

2321
01:23:14,890 --> 01:23:16,970
And now you can do if you've got

2322
01:23:16,970 --> 01:23:17,650
something else.

2323
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:20,070
And I'll also add to that that.

2324
01:23:20,190 --> 01:23:21,470
If it gets boring, I'll let you know.

2325
01:23:21,590 --> 01:23:22,330
Yeah, I don't care.

2326
01:23:23,550 --> 01:23:24,070
Of course.

2327
01:23:24,210 --> 01:23:25,610
Well, you'll let me know, but it won't

2328
01:23:25,610 --> 01:23:26,110
stop me.

2329
01:23:26,210 --> 01:23:27,910
Yeah, no, it never does make a difference.

2330
01:23:28,550 --> 01:23:29,730
You just get irked.

2331
01:23:29,990 --> 01:23:31,570
I'm not even going to get irked because

2332
01:23:31,570 --> 01:23:32,450
I think you'll like it.

2333
01:23:32,590 --> 01:23:38,390
But we do know that Mark Rutte, Secretary

2334
01:23:38,390 --> 01:23:39,370
General of.

2335
01:23:42,230 --> 01:23:43,750
Don't get too excited.

2336
01:23:44,230 --> 01:23:44,970
Oh, nuts.

2337
01:23:45,710 --> 01:23:46,930
It's not Mark Rutte.

2338
01:23:47,710 --> 01:23:50,370
But he kept saying, well, you know, NATO

2339
01:23:50,370 --> 01:23:53,050
when we say yes, we must, the United

2340
01:23:53,050 --> 01:23:56,390
States must pivot to Asia, to the Pacific,

2341
01:23:56,770 --> 01:23:58,110
must pivot to Pacific.

2342
01:23:58,730 --> 01:24:00,790
So this is not only just Russia now,

2343
01:24:00,870 --> 01:24:01,990
but it must be the Pacific.

2344
01:24:02,390 --> 01:24:04,250
So that is definitely on deck.

2345
01:24:04,630 --> 01:24:07,670
And again, I think our general agreement is

2346
01:24:07,670 --> 01:24:11,650
that the bombing of the Iranian nuclear facilities

2347
01:24:11,650 --> 01:24:13,730
was to send a message to China, and

2348
01:24:13,730 --> 01:24:14,810
it seems to have worked.

2349
01:24:17,070 --> 01:24:21,070
It ended and President Trump even sent the

2350
01:24:21,070 --> 01:24:24,050
Israeli jets back, you know, because I don't

2351
01:24:24,050 --> 01:24:24,830
know who's in charge there.

2352
01:24:24,890 --> 01:24:25,470
You've got to wonder.

2353
01:24:27,190 --> 01:24:30,330
Anyway, so this starts off with Besant, our

2354
01:24:30,330 --> 01:24:33,790
Secretary of the Treasury, who said, oh, no

2355
01:24:33,790 --> 01:24:34,050
way.

2356
01:24:34,110 --> 01:24:35,410
I don't want to be the Fed.

2357
01:24:35,510 --> 01:24:36,650
I don't want President Trump.

2358
01:24:36,710 --> 01:24:38,330
He said, oh, he loves what he's doing.

2359
01:24:38,430 --> 01:24:40,530
He wants to be the he wants he

2360
01:24:40,530 --> 01:24:42,210
wants to be right where he is.

2361
01:24:42,250 --> 01:24:43,410
No, he does not want to be a

2362
01:24:43,410 --> 01:24:43,930
part of the Fed.

2363
01:24:43,930 --> 01:24:45,930
And I think it's pretty clear that President

2364
01:24:45,930 --> 01:24:49,450
Trump has his his sight set clearly on

2365
01:24:49,450 --> 01:24:52,910
the Fed and and the power that they

2366
01:24:52,910 --> 01:24:53,190
have.

2367
01:24:53,210 --> 01:24:55,690
And everybody should be happy that that that's

2368
01:24:55,690 --> 01:24:57,810
being looked at because it sucks.

2369
01:24:58,110 --> 01:25:00,030
It sucks that the Fed has so much

2370
01:25:00,030 --> 01:25:01,530
power over our lives.

2371
01:25:02,190 --> 01:25:06,390
So we start first with this is him

2372
01:25:06,390 --> 01:25:07,190
with Kudlow.

2373
01:25:10,230 --> 01:25:13,070
And this is kind of not really discussed

2374
01:25:13,070 --> 01:25:13,890
that very much.

2375
01:25:13,990 --> 01:25:17,130
But this foreign investment that we keep hearing

2376
01:25:17,130 --> 01:25:19,690
about, oh, you know, 500 billion from these

2377
01:25:19,690 --> 01:25:22,190
guys, 700 billion from these guys, everyone's going

2378
01:25:22,190 --> 01:25:25,050
to be that's not that's not just a

2379
01:25:25,050 --> 01:25:29,130
direct check that they write off to American

2380
01:25:29,130 --> 01:25:29,730
companies.

2381
01:25:29,730 --> 01:25:31,630
This is highly orchestrated.

2382
01:25:31,630 --> 01:25:35,950
We have these agreements in place where the

2383
01:25:35,950 --> 01:25:39,370
Japanese, the Koreans, and to some extent, the

2384
01:25:39,370 --> 01:25:44,650
Europeans will invest in companies and industries that

2385
01:25:44,650 --> 01:25:48,130
we direct them largely at the president's discretion.

2386
01:25:48,570 --> 01:25:49,510
And how does that work?

2387
01:25:49,610 --> 01:25:52,550
I mean, it's almost like an offshore appropriation.

2388
01:25:52,770 --> 01:25:54,530
I'm not sure we've ever had anything like

2389
01:25:54,530 --> 01:25:55,830
that in the States before.

2390
01:25:55,830 --> 01:25:58,550
Have you consulted with, I don't know, the

2391
01:25:58,550 --> 01:26:01,550
Senate Finance Committee or the House Waste and

2392
01:26:01,550 --> 01:26:03,830
Means Committee or or what?

2393
01:26:04,090 --> 01:26:06,810
Well, Larry, I think a good framing of

2394
01:26:06,810 --> 01:26:09,730
that is other countries, in essence, are providing

2395
01:26:09,730 --> 01:26:11,570
us with a sovereign wealth fund.

2396
01:26:11,950 --> 01:26:13,550
So so they're going to buy our goods.

2397
01:26:14,210 --> 01:26:16,250
Well, that's essentially what's going on.

2398
01:26:16,430 --> 01:26:18,170
Well, wait, let me step back.

2399
01:26:18,650 --> 01:26:20,270
They're going to build our factories.

2400
01:26:20,530 --> 01:26:22,370
They're going to help us to build new

2401
01:26:22,370 --> 01:26:24,310
factories, which Mr. Trump loves.

2402
01:26:24,650 --> 01:26:25,090
Exactly.

2403
01:26:25,090 --> 01:26:27,230
So the way to think about it is

2404
01:26:27,230 --> 01:26:30,250
these huge surpluses accumulated offshore.

2405
01:26:30,950 --> 01:26:31,950
Let's take Japan.

2406
01:26:32,090 --> 01:26:35,110
We're going to have 550 billion and they

2407
01:26:35,110 --> 01:26:39,210
will be reinvesting that back into the U

2408
01:26:39,210 --> 01:26:39,870
.S. economy.

2409
01:26:40,310 --> 01:26:42,730
And we will be able to direct them

2410
01:26:42,730 --> 01:26:46,170
as we reshore these critical industries.

2411
01:26:46,550 --> 01:26:48,450
We are trying to de-risk the U

2412
01:26:48,450 --> 01:26:51,110
.S. economy from what we saw during COVID.

2413
01:26:51,390 --> 01:26:53,490
President loves new factories.

2414
01:26:54,050 --> 01:26:56,030
He'll take rehabbed old factories.

2415
01:26:56,150 --> 01:26:57,610
He loves new factories.

2416
01:26:57,910 --> 01:27:00,050
So I thought that was rather interesting that

2417
01:27:00,050 --> 01:27:04,810
basically, I guess the the Treasury is saying,

2418
01:27:04,910 --> 01:27:06,230
OK, here's where you're going to put the

2419
01:27:06,230 --> 01:27:06,450
money.

2420
01:27:06,830 --> 01:27:08,150
This is what you're going to do.

2421
01:27:09,410 --> 01:27:11,810
If true, but it's and I'm sure that

2422
01:27:11,810 --> 01:27:13,650
that's where tariffs and all kinds of other

2423
01:27:13,650 --> 01:27:16,090
stuff comes into play that we're not told

2424
01:27:16,090 --> 01:27:16,490
about.

2425
01:27:16,890 --> 01:27:18,610
It's like, well, you don't want to put

2426
01:27:18,610 --> 01:27:20,390
your money into these companies tariff.

2427
01:27:21,130 --> 01:27:22,290
We're just going to mess with you with

2428
01:27:22,290 --> 01:27:22,670
tariffs.

2429
01:27:23,490 --> 01:27:26,010
So then it come this.

2430
01:27:26,490 --> 01:27:28,770
And thanks to Chris Fisher from Jupiter Broadcasting.

2431
01:27:28,830 --> 01:27:30,450
He did a great series on these.

2432
01:27:30,530 --> 01:27:32,670
And I was I was taken by it.

2433
01:27:33,570 --> 01:27:35,690
And it's from Arthur Hayes.

2434
01:27:36,610 --> 01:27:39,690
He's a former Wall Street guy, Deutsche Bank,

2435
01:27:39,890 --> 01:27:46,250
Citigroup, market maker in ETFs, trader, Citibank in

2436
01:27:46,250 --> 01:27:46,690
Hong Kong.

2437
01:27:46,750 --> 01:27:49,310
He's been around, but he also co-founded

2438
01:27:49,310 --> 01:27:51,890
BitMEX, which is a cryptocurrency exchange.

2439
01:27:51,890 --> 01:27:55,470
And he's widely regarded as someone who's smart.

2440
01:27:56,710 --> 01:28:02,310
And he explains the stable coin gambit under

2441
01:28:02,310 --> 01:28:06,470
Besant and the control it will have over

2442
01:28:06,470 --> 01:28:09,290
the entire world and how it will neuter

2443
01:28:09,290 --> 01:28:10,090
the Fed.

2444
01:28:10,450 --> 01:28:13,690
There's two pools of money, which I think

2445
01:28:13,690 --> 01:28:17,230
Besant via monetary policy and aggressive use of

2446
01:28:17,230 --> 01:28:21,410
terrorizing sanctions can make people on board in

2447
01:28:21,410 --> 01:28:22,030
the stable coins.

2448
01:28:22,170 --> 01:28:23,730
The first is the euro dollar market.

2449
01:28:23,890 --> 01:28:23,990
Right.

2450
01:28:24,050 --> 01:28:27,710
So, you know, 1950s and 60s euro dollar

2451
01:28:27,710 --> 01:28:30,050
market was created because of and just we've

2452
01:28:30,050 --> 01:28:32,050
been through this before, but the euro dollar

2453
01:28:32,050 --> 01:28:34,530
market is nothing more than dollars that are

2454
01:28:34,530 --> 01:28:38,730
not in America, but mainly traded in foreign

2455
01:28:38,730 --> 01:28:39,990
exchange in Europe.

2456
01:28:40,090 --> 01:28:40,930
And there's a lot of them.

2457
01:28:40,950 --> 01:28:43,750
And once they're in a non-American bank,

2458
01:28:44,290 --> 01:28:46,570
you know, there's really not much control we

2459
01:28:46,570 --> 01:28:47,150
have over it.

2460
01:28:47,170 --> 01:28:49,090
So that's the euro dollar, as they call

2461
01:28:49,090 --> 01:28:49,250
it.

2462
01:28:49,750 --> 01:28:52,430
You know, 1950s and 60s euro dollar market

2463
01:28:52,430 --> 01:28:54,830
was created because of all the regulations and

2464
01:28:54,830 --> 01:28:59,010
prohibitions about interest payments and trade flows that

2465
01:28:59,010 --> 01:29:01,190
the U.S. monetary authorities are putting on

2466
01:29:01,190 --> 01:29:01,910
commercial banks.

2467
01:29:02,070 --> 01:29:03,450
And so you have these foreign branches of

2468
01:29:03,450 --> 01:29:05,150
U.S. banks and foreign banks saying, hey,

2469
01:29:05,150 --> 01:29:07,210
I'll take your dollars outside of U.S.

2470
01:29:07,270 --> 01:29:07,650
control.

2471
01:29:08,330 --> 01:29:10,730
And so we have this 10 to 13

2472
01:29:10,730 --> 01:29:13,510
trillion dollar market, which nobody has any control

2473
01:29:13,510 --> 01:29:13,870
over.

2474
01:29:15,550 --> 01:29:18,490
Oftentimes influences Fed and Treasury policy in terms

2475
01:29:18,490 --> 01:29:21,250
of when dollars become expensive and cheap in

2476
01:29:21,250 --> 01:29:22,030
the euro dollar market.

2477
01:29:22,150 --> 01:29:23,770
And you can probably trace almost every financial

2478
01:29:23,770 --> 01:29:26,230
crisis outside of the United States to euro

2479
01:29:26,230 --> 01:29:27,130
dollar market flows.

2480
01:29:28,710 --> 01:29:31,070
And, you know, these flows are not doing

2481
01:29:31,070 --> 01:29:32,210
what Bessett wants them to do.

2482
01:29:32,250 --> 01:29:33,010
He can't control them.

2483
01:29:33,030 --> 01:29:33,850
He doesn't know where they are.

2484
01:29:34,310 --> 01:29:35,510
He can't make them buy what he wants,

2485
01:29:35,710 --> 01:29:36,570
which is Treasury bills.

2486
01:29:37,170 --> 01:29:39,670
So my idea, and maybe he'll do this

2487
01:29:39,670 --> 01:29:41,630
or maybe he won't, I don't know, is

2488
01:29:41,630 --> 01:29:43,470
right now, why do you feel comfortable in

2489
01:29:43,470 --> 01:29:43,970
a euro dollar?

2490
01:29:44,130 --> 01:29:46,850
Because every time your banking institution has gotten

2491
01:29:46,850 --> 01:29:48,810
into trouble, the Fed, the Treasury bills you

2492
01:29:48,810 --> 01:29:50,830
out, even if technically they shouldn't be doing

2493
01:29:50,830 --> 01:29:51,010
it.

2494
01:29:51,090 --> 01:29:52,970
So because you're not a member of the

2495
01:29:52,970 --> 01:29:54,990
discount window, don't follow U.S. regulations.

2496
01:29:54,990 --> 01:29:56,450
But, you know, we can point to many,

2497
01:29:56,570 --> 01:29:59,650
many, even 2008, the Fed secretly bailed out

2498
01:29:59,650 --> 01:30:02,030
all these foreign branches of banks for all

2499
01:30:02,030 --> 01:30:04,630
their bad trading policies to make sure the

2500
01:30:04,630 --> 01:30:06,870
euro dollar depositor was sweet.

2501
01:30:06,870 --> 01:30:10,310
So the idea here is to have stablecoin

2502
01:30:10,310 --> 01:30:12,870
flood the world, but not just floating out

2503
01:30:12,870 --> 01:30:16,890
there as dollar equivalents, but to have complete

2504
01:30:16,890 --> 01:30:18,890
control over the users of it.

2505
01:30:18,950 --> 01:30:22,050
Already 400 million people are using stablecoin throughout

2506
01:30:22,050 --> 01:30:23,030
the rest of the world.

2507
01:30:23,450 --> 01:30:25,890
And this is how Bessett never wants to

2508
01:30:25,890 --> 01:30:27,670
go to leave for the Fed because he

2509
01:30:27,670 --> 01:30:31,230
can actually neuter the Fed and control interest

2510
01:30:31,230 --> 01:30:35,550
rates through the stablecoins backed by short-term

2511
01:30:35,550 --> 01:30:36,490
U.S. Treasuries.

2512
01:30:36,870 --> 01:30:38,890
So the first thing Bessett should do is

2513
01:30:38,890 --> 01:30:39,910
say, hey, guess what?

2514
01:30:40,150 --> 01:30:41,790
If you don't have your money in a

2515
01:30:41,790 --> 01:30:43,670
U.S. branch of a bank or a

2516
01:30:43,670 --> 01:30:45,910
U.S. bank inside of America, you do

2517
01:30:45,910 --> 01:30:47,650
not have a guarantee any longer.

2518
01:30:47,750 --> 01:30:49,190
We will not come and save you anymore.

2519
01:30:49,930 --> 01:30:51,030
So all of a sudden these dollars are

2520
01:30:51,030 --> 01:30:53,110
like, oh, OK, well, there isn't this blanket

2521
01:30:53,110 --> 01:30:54,910
government guarantee from the Fed and the Treasury

2522
01:30:54,910 --> 01:30:56,830
for these trillions of dollars that I have

2523
01:30:56,830 --> 01:30:57,850
deposited on these banks.

2524
01:30:59,150 --> 01:31:01,770
But I could put my money into a

2525
01:31:01,770 --> 01:31:02,450
stablecoin.

2526
01:31:03,010 --> 01:31:05,350
And a stablecoin means that the dollars are

2527
01:31:05,350 --> 01:31:07,550
either a deposit of the U.S. branch

2528
01:31:07,550 --> 01:31:09,890
of a bank in America or they're holding

2529
01:31:09,890 --> 01:31:10,550
Treasury bills.

2530
01:31:11,030 --> 01:31:13,050
So if you don't feel safe in your

2531
01:31:13,050 --> 01:31:16,130
Deutsche Bank account in Switzerland or wherever, just

2532
01:31:16,130 --> 01:31:19,270
talk to your authorized participant and move these

2533
01:31:19,270 --> 01:31:21,350
deposits over to a stablecoin.

2534
01:31:21,750 --> 01:31:23,410
And now you have access to your dollars.

2535
01:31:23,710 --> 01:31:25,930
You have the blanket guarantee of the U

2536
01:31:25,930 --> 01:31:26,350
.S. government.

2537
01:31:26,870 --> 01:31:27,710
And guess what?

2538
01:31:27,730 --> 01:31:28,630
You might earn a bit of a yield

2539
01:31:28,630 --> 01:31:31,270
on your money because you probably don't get

2540
01:31:31,270 --> 01:31:32,850
much of a yield in a euro dollar

2541
01:31:32,850 --> 01:31:34,670
deposit outside of America because the banks don't

2542
01:31:34,670 --> 01:31:35,870
actually need your money and they have to

2543
01:31:35,870 --> 01:31:37,550
pay capital charges for the Basel III and

2544
01:31:37,550 --> 01:31:38,330
blah, blah, blah.

2545
01:31:38,470 --> 01:31:40,570
All the bad things about why banks don't

2546
01:31:40,570 --> 01:31:42,250
like large deposits.

2547
01:31:42,810 --> 01:31:44,190
And so now you have a $10 to

2548
01:31:44,190 --> 01:31:47,610
$13 trillion TAM of money that could flow

2549
01:31:47,610 --> 01:31:50,130
into stablecoins from abroad.

2550
01:31:50,590 --> 01:31:51,570
And what's in a stablecoin?

2551
01:31:51,770 --> 01:31:52,590
Besson has full control.

2552
01:31:52,730 --> 01:31:54,970
He knows where you are, which bank.

2553
01:31:55,610 --> 01:31:57,230
He knows where you're clearing your Treasuries.

2554
01:31:57,930 --> 01:32:00,410
And the best part is he can offer

2555
01:32:00,410 --> 01:32:02,410
you a yield that's lower than Fed funds.

2556
01:32:03,130 --> 01:32:04,650
So if Fed funds is four and a

2557
01:32:04,650 --> 01:32:06,450
half, he can say, oh, guess what?

2558
01:32:06,490 --> 01:32:08,050
I'll give you two on a six-month

2559
01:32:08,050 --> 01:32:08,710
T-bill.

2560
01:32:08,870 --> 01:32:10,370
And you say, well, I can't really do

2561
01:32:10,370 --> 01:32:11,990
anything about that because I'm not going to

2562
01:32:11,990 --> 01:32:13,690
go into a U.S. bank deposit.

2563
01:32:13,830 --> 01:32:15,690
The banks don't even pay you anywhere close

2564
01:32:15,690 --> 01:32:16,250
to Fed funds.

2565
01:32:16,690 --> 01:32:17,250
So fuck it.

2566
01:32:17,310 --> 01:32:18,750
I'll just buy the 2% that Besson

2567
01:32:18,750 --> 01:32:19,090
offers.

2568
01:32:19,950 --> 01:32:21,810
So Besson can, in one fell stroke, completely

2569
01:32:21,810 --> 01:32:24,230
neuter the Fed and no longer does the

2570
01:32:24,230 --> 01:32:25,890
Fed have any control over Fed funds because

2571
01:32:25,890 --> 01:32:27,870
Besson can offer the Treasury bill at whatever

2572
01:32:27,870 --> 01:32:31,070
price he wants, unconstrained by what Powell or

2573
01:32:31,070 --> 01:32:32,890
whoever his successor does.

2574
01:32:33,510 --> 01:32:35,630
So that's the control mechanism.

2575
01:32:35,970 --> 01:32:38,070
Now, how are we going to spread these

2576
01:32:38,070 --> 01:32:40,970
stablecoin around the world and the United States

2577
01:32:40,970 --> 01:32:43,210
so everybody starts using them?

2578
01:32:44,350 --> 01:32:48,590
We hearken back to Elon's Everything app, xMoney,

2579
01:32:48,990 --> 01:32:49,970
and not just him.

2580
01:32:50,590 --> 01:32:57,150
What was that dumb Facebook coin that they

2581
01:32:57,150 --> 01:32:57,890
almost got through?

2582
01:32:57,890 --> 01:32:59,010
I can't remember the name of that thing.

2583
01:32:59,230 --> 01:32:59,750
It was...

2584
01:32:59,750 --> 01:33:00,630
I know who would know.

2585
01:33:03,650 --> 01:33:04,130
Error?

2586
01:33:04,330 --> 01:33:04,690
Error?

2587
01:33:04,830 --> 01:33:05,310
Error?

2588
01:33:05,390 --> 01:33:06,110
Error would know.

2589
01:33:06,210 --> 01:33:06,810
Error would know.

2590
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,630
What was the name of the Facebook money

2591
01:33:09,630 --> 01:33:11,370
that they tried to push through?

2592
01:33:13,930 --> 01:33:16,650
So, about the last bit, the Facebook settlement

2593
01:33:16,650 --> 01:33:18,650
money, payment from the 700...

2594
01:33:18,650 --> 01:33:20,130
No, see, she's stupid.

2595
01:33:20,450 --> 01:33:21,430
Oh, she's dumb.

2596
01:33:21,430 --> 01:33:22,250
She's a dummy.

2597
01:33:22,590 --> 01:33:22,730
Yeah.

2598
01:33:22,830 --> 01:33:25,650
Facebook had a coin they tried to push

2599
01:33:25,650 --> 01:33:26,450
into the market.

2600
01:33:29,460 --> 01:33:32,500
Oh, you mean like the launch coin on

2601
01:33:32,500 --> 01:33:33,300
the Believe platform?

2602
01:33:33,860 --> 01:33:34,480
It's been...

2603
01:33:34,480 --> 01:33:36,460
Okay, has no answer for me.

2604
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:36,920
Stupid.

2605
01:33:37,820 --> 01:33:38,860
Well, she should.

2606
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:41,560
The corpus would have that information.

2607
01:33:41,900 --> 01:33:42,480
Yeah, all right.

2608
01:33:42,740 --> 01:33:44,140
Stableface, whatever it was called.

2609
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:46,820
Someone will eventually come up with it.

2610
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:48,280
Maybe you dreamed it.

2611
01:33:48,540 --> 01:33:49,300
The fart coin.

2612
01:33:50,100 --> 01:33:50,560
Zuckerbucks.

2613
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:51,840
No, none of that.

2614
01:33:52,440 --> 01:33:52,900
Zuckerbucks.

2615
01:33:52,900 --> 01:33:53,680
That's it.

2616
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:54,720
The Libra.

2617
01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:55,380
There it is.

2618
01:33:55,460 --> 01:33:55,900
Thank you.

2619
01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:56,760
Thank you, Weirdo.

2620
01:33:56,880 --> 01:33:57,640
The Libra.

2621
01:33:58,880 --> 01:33:59,800
And everyone was all in.

2622
01:33:59,900 --> 01:34:00,240
Thank you, Weirdo.

2623
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:02,320
The guy's name was Weirdo, is that right?

2624
01:34:02,440 --> 01:34:04,780
W-I-I-R-D-O, Weirdo.

2625
01:34:06,020 --> 01:34:09,120
So, what could you do now to spread

2626
01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:11,080
your stable coin throughout the world?

2627
01:34:11,300 --> 01:34:12,340
The U.S. has ways.

2628
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:16,240
You have a lot of retail around the

2629
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:18,280
world in developed and developing countries.

2630
01:34:18,480 --> 01:34:20,920
I live in Asia, and basically the entire

2631
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:23,100
investment game out here in Asia is how

2632
01:34:23,100 --> 01:34:25,960
do we get local currency into dollars so

2633
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:28,340
that they can buy higher yielding assets and

2634
01:34:28,340 --> 01:34:28,720
equities?

2635
01:34:29,020 --> 01:34:30,620
That's literally all of finance in Asia.

2636
01:34:30,820 --> 01:34:32,820
And then every so often, the regulators come

2637
01:34:32,820 --> 01:34:34,860
after people, and they basically put the young

2638
01:34:34,860 --> 01:34:37,220
guy in jail, and the boss stays sweet,

2639
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:38,160
as they do.

2640
01:34:39,100 --> 01:34:40,740
And that is the game.

2641
01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:42,960
So, best I could say, okay, guess what?

2642
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:46,520
We're going to deputize Elon Musk and Mark

2643
01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:49,120
Zuckerberg and give them protection to go and

2644
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:51,040
offer a stable coin big account.

2645
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:54,720
And we don't care if a foreign regulator,

2646
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:57,240
whether banking or internet regulators says, we don't

2647
01:34:57,240 --> 01:34:57,640
like this.

2648
01:34:57,720 --> 01:34:59,760
We don't like that you're basically giving a

2649
01:34:59,760 --> 01:35:03,600
dollar big account to our entire underclass or

2650
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:05,800
anyone who's not a wealthy individual.

2651
01:35:06,580 --> 01:35:09,220
And they don't care because they're sitting in

2652
01:35:09,220 --> 01:35:12,260
Hawaii and Austin, Texas, and Trump is protecting

2653
01:35:12,260 --> 01:35:12,500
them.

2654
01:35:13,060 --> 01:35:15,040
And if you go and you try to

2655
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:18,080
remove access to Facebook or X, guess what?

2656
01:35:18,420 --> 01:35:18,660
Sanctions.

2657
01:35:18,660 --> 01:35:20,820
Just like what Trump threatened with Europe when

2658
01:35:20,820 --> 01:35:23,040
they had their digital information act or whatever

2659
01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:23,540
it is.

2660
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:25,560
So, that's how they'd spread it around.

2661
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:27,840
I'm told that's of all the things he's

2662
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:29,440
saying, I'm like, that makes a lot of

2663
01:35:29,440 --> 01:35:29,820
sense.

2664
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,140
And looking at the Genius Act, that would

2665
01:35:32,140 --> 01:35:35,440
be possible if they adhere to certain.

2666
01:35:35,540 --> 01:35:37,960
But basically, you have to have $10 billion

2667
01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:39,620
in cash.

2668
01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:40,740
That's possible.

2669
01:35:41,300 --> 01:35:43,400
But now to bring it back around to

2670
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:47,340
the corrupt CCP influenced politicians.

2671
01:35:48,060 --> 01:35:50,360
This is another perfect gambit for it.

2672
01:35:50,620 --> 01:35:53,200
And then furthermore, Besson finally has a sanctions

2673
01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:53,840
weapon, right?

2674
01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:55,420
So, if you're in Asia or a lot

2675
01:35:55,420 --> 01:35:55,520
of.

2676
01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:56,540
Stop.

2677
01:35:57,940 --> 01:36:00,100
And I will, I will say that I

2678
01:36:00,100 --> 01:36:02,640
could call this a boring presentation, but it's

2679
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:05,460
interesting at the same time, which is a

2680
01:36:05,460 --> 01:36:06,920
conundrum.

2681
01:36:06,940 --> 01:36:07,920
But that's not why I'm stopping it.

2682
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:09,040
Who is this guy again?

2683
01:36:10,380 --> 01:36:11,420
Arthur Hayes.

2684
01:36:12,480 --> 01:36:13,720
And what's his background?

2685
01:36:14,700 --> 01:36:15,980
Wall Street banker.

2686
01:36:17,180 --> 01:36:20,680
And the founder of Bitfinex, a big cryptocurrency

2687
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:21,460
exchange.

2688
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:23,760
But he's a long term.

2689
01:36:25,140 --> 01:36:27,560
I think mainly in Hong Kong, Deutsche City.

2690
01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:28,700
He says he's in Asia.

2691
01:36:28,980 --> 01:36:29,180
Yeah.

2692
01:36:31,320 --> 01:36:31,640
Okay.

2693
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:32,140
Okay.

2694
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:33,680
This is the last clip.

2695
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:34,980
So, thank you for hanging in there.

2696
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:37,940
And then furthermore, Besson finally has a sanctions

2697
01:36:37,940 --> 01:36:38,580
weapon, right?

2698
01:36:38,580 --> 01:36:40,120
So, if you're in Asia or a lot

2699
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:42,900
of developing world, all the elites essentially steal

2700
01:36:42,900 --> 01:36:44,660
from their people and put their money in

2701
01:36:44,660 --> 01:36:46,720
US banks in some way, shape or form.

2702
01:36:47,320 --> 01:36:48,140
And so, guess what?

2703
01:36:48,300 --> 01:36:52,460
President or prime minister or parliamentarian, if you

2704
01:36:52,460 --> 01:36:55,340
don't allow Western social media companies to bank

2705
01:36:55,340 --> 01:36:57,740
all of your people with dollars, I'm going

2706
01:36:57,740 --> 01:36:59,140
to sanction you and you're going to lose

2707
01:36:59,140 --> 01:37:00,380
access to the billions of dollars that you

2708
01:37:00,380 --> 01:37:01,060
stole from your people.

2709
01:37:01,540 --> 01:37:02,340
And so, guess what's going to happen?

2710
01:37:02,420 --> 01:37:02,640
Nothing.

2711
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:04,860
And so, I think that is how you're

2712
01:37:04,860 --> 01:37:08,020
going to get sort of like 20, 25

2713
01:37:08,020 --> 01:37:10,960
trillion dollar tam of money that could flow

2714
01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:12,840
into dollar stable coins.

2715
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:14,900
And I think they're hinting at this already

2716
01:37:14,900 --> 01:37:16,900
in terms of you have the major social

2717
01:37:16,900 --> 01:37:19,880
media companies saying, oh, we're investigating stable coins

2718
01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:20,900
and this, that and the other thing.

2719
01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:22,500
And Besson's very pro on them.

2720
01:37:23,200 --> 01:37:24,300
And then basically, what does a stable coin

2721
01:37:24,300 --> 01:37:24,440
do?

2722
01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:25,380
They're going to buy treasury bills.

2723
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:27,380
And they'll buy whatever yield Besson offers.

2724
01:37:27,980 --> 01:37:29,140
They can completely destroy the Fed.

2725
01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:31,280
You can put short term rates wherever he

2726
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:31,700
wants it.

2727
01:37:31,700 --> 01:37:34,620
And now he's got a sink of tens

2728
01:37:34,620 --> 01:37:36,940
of trillions of dollars that he can essentially

2729
01:37:36,940 --> 01:37:39,040
fund the U.S. government with until they

2730
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:40,320
do some sort of yield curve control to

2731
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:41,060
bring down the long end.

2732
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:41,500
Exactly.

2733
01:37:41,900 --> 01:37:44,500
Until it no longer works, which is probably

2734
01:37:44,500 --> 01:37:45,820
10 years or so.

2735
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:47,500
But then it will no longer work.

2736
01:37:47,820 --> 01:37:49,420
I think this is a decent thesis.

2737
01:37:52,210 --> 01:37:54,250
Well, it's a fascinating one, that's for sure.

2738
01:37:54,390 --> 01:37:58,810
And it also could be the, it could

2739
01:37:58,810 --> 01:37:59,650
end the Fed.

2740
01:38:00,670 --> 01:38:03,210
But it could also collapse on itself at

2741
01:38:03,210 --> 01:38:05,170
some point, for some reason unknown.

2742
01:38:05,410 --> 01:38:06,510
Oh, easily, easily.

2743
01:38:06,650 --> 01:38:08,510
And bring the entire world's economy to a

2744
01:38:08,510 --> 01:38:11,610
halt, at least for a while, because you

2745
01:38:11,610 --> 01:38:12,590
can't do it forever.

2746
01:38:12,930 --> 01:38:17,590
But it could become the linchpin of the

2747
01:38:17,590 --> 01:38:20,510
economy, which would be interesting to see.

2748
01:38:20,590 --> 01:38:23,090
But I think the angle that you caught,

2749
01:38:23,610 --> 01:38:25,670
which was the interesting thing that caught my

2750
01:38:25,670 --> 01:38:27,190
attention that made me want to listen to

2751
01:38:27,190 --> 01:38:30,590
the whole thing, which is that, yes, Elon

2752
01:38:30,590 --> 01:38:33,470
Musk has been talking about making X an

2753
01:38:33,470 --> 01:38:36,430
all-in, does-everything-for-you kind of

2754
01:38:36,430 --> 01:38:39,650
monetary market of some sort.

2755
01:38:40,770 --> 01:38:44,130
To compete with, well, stablecoin wants to compete

2756
01:38:44,130 --> 01:38:46,450
with the Fed and with SWIFT.

2757
01:38:48,730 --> 01:38:50,570
Enter Russia, enter Russia.

2758
01:38:50,790 --> 01:38:52,450
Russia comes back into the fold.

2759
01:38:52,610 --> 01:38:54,170
Right, which is what we want.

2760
01:38:54,250 --> 01:38:55,590
We want Russia back in the fold.

2761
01:38:56,050 --> 01:38:59,790
And then you have Elon wanting to compete

2762
01:38:59,790 --> 01:39:03,070
with PayPal, since he never, he always felt

2763
01:39:03,890 --> 01:39:06,650
wronged in some funny way, because they didn't

2764
01:39:06,650 --> 01:39:07,830
do certain things.

2765
01:39:07,830 --> 01:39:08,790
Well, they kicked him out.

2766
01:39:08,850 --> 01:39:10,030
They kicked him out of PayPal.

2767
01:39:10,310 --> 01:39:11,190
That's why he felt wronged.

2768
01:39:11,250 --> 01:39:14,150
That's whenever people connect Peter Thiel to Elon

2769
01:39:14,150 --> 01:39:14,510
Musk.

2770
01:39:14,690 --> 01:39:17,290
Like, there's no love lost between those two.

2771
01:39:18,470 --> 01:39:20,970
And that's why he spent millions of dollars

2772
01:39:20,970 --> 01:39:24,830
getting x.com back, because he always wanted

2773
01:39:24,830 --> 01:39:26,330
PayPal to be called x.

2774
01:39:27,110 --> 01:39:29,090
And they kicked him out, probably because he

2775
01:39:29,090 --> 01:39:31,130
was no good, or at least for not

2776
01:39:31,130 --> 01:39:32,650
what they Or probably because he's annoying.

2777
01:39:32,950 --> 01:39:34,130
I think he is good.

2778
01:39:34,470 --> 01:39:35,650
Just, he's just annoying.

2779
01:39:36,310 --> 01:39:37,550
But he's got to be annoying.

2780
01:39:37,810 --> 01:39:39,650
I mean, even Trump figured that out.

2781
01:39:40,230 --> 01:39:40,490
Yeah.

2782
01:39:41,250 --> 01:39:42,890
And he's been very quiet.

2783
01:39:43,070 --> 01:39:45,230
You know, where's his, where's his new political

2784
01:39:45,230 --> 01:39:45,730
party?

2785
01:39:45,910 --> 01:39:49,310
I think he's been reading, hey, shh, we're

2786
01:39:49,310 --> 01:39:50,250
going to get you, we're going to make

2787
01:39:50,250 --> 01:39:51,470
you the stablecoin queen.

2788
01:39:54,050 --> 01:39:55,310
He's been very quiet.

2789
01:39:57,240 --> 01:39:58,380
Yeah, more or less.

2790
01:39:58,520 --> 01:39:59,900
And he does, and he lets all the

2791
01:39:59,900 --> 01:40:04,160
pro-Trump activism goes right through x, no

2792
01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:06,580
problem, never, you know, doesn't get bumped off

2793
01:40:06,580 --> 01:40:07,200
or anything.

2794
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:13,200
A lot of screwball stuff on x, I

2795
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:13,780
have to say.

2796
01:40:14,060 --> 01:40:14,400
It's fun.

2797
01:40:15,900 --> 01:40:16,660
I know.

2798
01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:17,460
I see you.

2799
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,960
Someone, someone was like, you're always complaining that

2800
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:24,820
you can't get past a hundred thousand followers,

2801
01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:27,880
but you're not growing your account like Dvorak.

2802
01:40:28,480 --> 01:40:29,400
You're not growing.

2803
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:31,260
My account shrunk again.

2804
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:34,260
But just the whole concept of you've got

2805
01:40:34,260 --> 01:40:37,040
to grow your account, man, by posting a

2806
01:40:37,040 --> 01:40:37,200
lot.

2807
01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:38,720
That's how you grow your account.

2808
01:40:39,300 --> 01:40:41,020
And when do I reap the harvest from

2809
01:40:41,020 --> 01:40:41,640
this growth?

2810
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:42,780
When do I get it?

2811
01:40:42,780 --> 01:40:44,460
Well, there's no harvest to be reaped, except

2812
01:40:44,460 --> 01:40:45,420
it's just prestige.

2813
01:40:45,660 --> 01:40:45,820
Yeah.

2814
01:40:45,860 --> 01:40:48,200
I would say that I'm going to subscribe.

2815
01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:50,640
I got a check mark because of my

2816
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:53,580
numbers, but I am going to subscribe to

2817
01:40:53,580 --> 01:40:54,060
x.

2818
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:57,000
And I'll bet you my numbers go up.

2819
01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:00,380
Oh, now there's an interesting if, oh, that's

2820
01:41:00,380 --> 01:41:01,000
very interesting.

2821
01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:01,960
Yeah.

2822
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:03,160
That's what my thesis is.

2823
01:41:03,260 --> 01:41:05,280
I've been waiting on it because when it

2824
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:07,640
stabilizes, I'm going to subscribe.

2825
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:10,200
And then I want to see if my

2826
01:41:10,200 --> 01:41:12,600
numbers, because my numbers should technically go up.

2827
01:41:12,700 --> 01:41:14,460
And this will grow your brand.

2828
01:41:14,940 --> 01:41:16,000
It'll grow the brand.

2829
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:20,220
The fabulous and valuable Dvorak brand.

2830
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:25,600
Yeah, man.

2831
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:27,620
Grow your account and your brand.

2832
01:41:27,860 --> 01:41:28,720
This is beautiful.

2833
01:41:29,120 --> 01:41:30,760
Well, if you can do it and if

2834
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:31,780
it works, I'm all in.

2835
01:41:32,420 --> 01:41:32,660
Yeah.

2836
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:33,400
Well, we'll see.

2837
01:41:33,540 --> 01:41:34,720
It's a test coming up.

2838
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:35,480
Coming up.

2839
01:41:35,620 --> 01:41:36,040
Coming up.

2840
01:41:36,900 --> 01:41:37,940
I'll report back.

2841
01:41:38,060 --> 01:41:39,760
Just to make sure we don't fall asleep.

2842
01:41:47,080 --> 01:41:52,260
Missouri AG Andrew Bailey being brought in for

2843
01:41:52,260 --> 01:41:57,200
the future replacement of FBI Director Cash Patel.

2844
01:41:57,300 --> 01:41:58,460
I just love Alex.

2845
01:41:59,440 --> 01:42:01,120
Breaking exclusive.

2846
01:42:02,460 --> 01:42:02,940
Okay.

2847
01:42:03,140 --> 01:42:03,540
What?

2848
01:42:04,660 --> 01:42:05,100
Oh, yeah.

2849
01:42:05,340 --> 01:42:07,600
Well, first of all, he's deputy director, not

2850
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:08,060
director.

2851
01:42:08,060 --> 01:42:08,600
Yeah.

2852
01:42:08,660 --> 01:42:12,580
They're bringing in two new guys to be

2853
01:42:12,580 --> 01:42:14,140
co-deputy directors.

2854
01:42:14,380 --> 01:42:16,600
Because as you well pointed out, that was

2855
01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:18,320
the breaking exclusive on this show.

2856
01:42:19,220 --> 01:42:19,920
You know.

2857
01:42:20,140 --> 01:42:20,300
Oh, no.

2858
01:42:20,340 --> 01:42:21,620
Actually, Cash Patel is the director.

2859
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:22,060
I'm sorry.

2860
01:42:22,180 --> 01:42:23,020
Yeah, he is the director.

2861
01:42:23,140 --> 01:42:24,020
I know what you're talking about.

2862
01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:24,680
Think of Bongino.

2863
01:42:25,280 --> 01:42:25,720
Bongino.

2864
01:42:26,440 --> 01:42:26,680
Yeah.

2865
01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:27,360
Cash Patel.

2866
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:29,560
I think like Bongino, he wants to pop

2867
01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:29,780
out.

2868
01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:30,560
He's tired of it.

2869
01:42:30,580 --> 01:42:31,220
He didn't like it.

2870
01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:33,920
No, he's got nothing better to do.

2871
01:42:34,780 --> 01:42:35,460
Cash Patel?

2872
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:36,560
Yeah.

2873
01:42:38,340 --> 01:42:39,900
He's got nothing better to do.

2874
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:41,520
He can do podcasts.

2875
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:42,780
No.

2876
01:42:43,060 --> 01:42:43,500
No.

2877
01:42:43,820 --> 01:42:44,260
Yes.

2878
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:45,720
He's no good.

2879
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:47,400
People love podcasts.

2880
01:42:48,140 --> 01:42:50,300
Well, they love podcasts, but you got to

2881
01:42:50,300 --> 01:42:51,640
have some chops.

2882
01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:52,900
By the way, I need to tell you

2883
01:42:52,900 --> 01:42:53,460
my story.

2884
01:42:53,740 --> 01:42:56,160
I went to the podcast movement in Dallas.

2885
01:42:56,520 --> 01:42:57,100
Ah, here we go.

2886
01:42:57,260 --> 01:42:57,500
Yeah.

2887
01:42:57,580 --> 01:42:59,160
I went to the podcast movement in Dallas.

2888
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:01,100
Was it a bowel movement?

2889
01:43:01,860 --> 01:43:02,760
No, no.

2890
01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:05,860
So this is the big podcast industrial complex

2891
01:43:05,860 --> 01:43:08,380
conference.

2892
01:43:09,480 --> 01:43:10,680
Were you around when...

2893
01:43:12,040 --> 01:43:13,800
Yeah, I don't know if you were around

2894
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:13,980
when...

2895
01:43:13,980 --> 01:43:14,800
I'm sure I was around.

2896
01:43:14,860 --> 01:43:17,120
Well, you were around, but you were alive

2897
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:17,880
on this earth.

2898
01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:19,740
The first...

2899
01:43:19,740 --> 01:43:22,980
So we had the New Media Expo, which

2900
01:43:22,980 --> 01:43:26,200
always took place in California.

2901
01:43:27,120 --> 01:43:28,920
What's that place that sounds like a Canadian

2902
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:29,400
place?

2903
01:43:29,540 --> 01:43:30,060
Ontario.

2904
01:43:30,180 --> 01:43:31,380
Ontario, California.

2905
01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:36,600
And the New Media Expo, then those guys

2906
01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:37,380
were very smart.

2907
01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:39,900
And they said, well, you know, this podcasting

2908
01:43:39,900 --> 01:43:40,660
thing has taken off.

2909
01:43:41,020 --> 01:43:43,180
Let's call it the podcast conference.

2910
01:43:43,700 --> 01:43:45,780
And they did their first one in Vegas.

2911
01:43:46,340 --> 01:43:49,440
And we had a pod show at the

2912
01:43:49,440 --> 01:43:49,740
time.

2913
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:52,820
And so I don't know if you were

2914
01:43:52,820 --> 01:43:53,420
there yet.

2915
01:43:54,200 --> 01:43:56,660
And they said to me, hey, Adam, would

2916
01:43:56,660 --> 01:43:58,220
you come and do...

2917
01:43:59,100 --> 01:44:01,120
You've complained about this for a while.

2918
01:44:02,060 --> 01:44:04,440
Well, this upcoming complaint that you're going to

2919
01:44:04,440 --> 01:44:04,820
discuss.

2920
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:07,640
Yes, just to reiterate, come and do the

2921
01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:09,460
keynote.

2922
01:44:09,700 --> 01:44:11,280
I'm like, I don't really like doing keynotes,

2923
01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:12,720
but you invented it.

2924
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:14,360
OK, fine.

2925
01:44:15,460 --> 01:44:17,300
And they said, OK, I'll do the keynote.

2926
01:44:17,460 --> 01:44:19,160
OK, can we put you down for a

2927
01:44:19,160 --> 01:44:19,800
gold sponsorship?

2928
01:44:20,440 --> 01:44:21,260
I'm like, what?

2929
01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:23,920
Well, yeah, if you want the keynote, you

2930
01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:26,580
have to be a gold sponsor, which I

2931
01:44:26,580 --> 01:44:28,260
think was $10,000 or $15,000.

2932
01:44:28,900 --> 01:44:29,960
I'm like, no.

2933
01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:33,080
So in fact, I won't charge you for

2934
01:44:33,080 --> 01:44:35,200
a speaking fee for showing up.

2935
01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:37,040
They got in a huff.

2936
01:44:37,740 --> 01:44:41,080
Like, man, you're not supporting the industry.

2937
01:44:42,180 --> 01:44:44,380
You got all that VC money.

2938
01:44:44,540 --> 01:44:45,080
Now, we did.

2939
01:44:45,220 --> 01:44:45,760
It's true.

2940
01:44:46,660 --> 01:44:48,340
You got all that VC money.

2941
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:50,260
Yeah, you got VC money, but not to

2942
01:44:50,260 --> 01:44:51,140
squander it.

2943
01:44:51,180 --> 01:44:52,820
When you give a keynote, you should be

2944
01:44:52,820 --> 01:44:55,020
paid to do the keynote, not pay them.

2945
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:55,700
Thank you.

2946
01:44:56,440 --> 01:44:58,860
So, man, I'm like, no.

2947
01:44:58,860 --> 01:45:00,460
And it got pretty heated.

2948
01:45:00,500 --> 01:45:02,040
I said, I'll do your keynote.

2949
01:45:02,140 --> 01:45:03,720
We're not going to do a sponsorship.

2950
01:45:04,260 --> 01:45:05,500
Well, then you can't do the keynote.

2951
01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:06,380
Well, fine.

2952
01:45:07,060 --> 01:45:08,260
And what we then did is we took

2953
01:45:08,260 --> 01:45:12,320
our $10,000 and we started an unconference

2954
01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:14,300
in the hotel right next door at the

2955
01:45:14,300 --> 01:45:17,100
pool with chicks and bikinis and drinks.

2956
01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:19,480
I'm sure you would have remembered if you

2957
01:45:19,480 --> 01:45:19,820
were there.

2958
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:21,540
I would have remembered that.

2959
01:45:21,540 --> 01:45:22,620
So I came later.

2960
01:45:22,820 --> 01:45:24,840
And it was the podcast unconference.

2961
01:45:24,940 --> 01:45:26,520
And everybody was hanging out.

2962
01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:29,680
We had the mixed drinks and beer.

2963
01:45:29,980 --> 01:45:32,440
And it did not endear me to the

2964
01:45:32,440 --> 01:45:33,780
podcast industrial complex.

2965
01:45:33,980 --> 01:45:34,860
But we were rebels.

2966
01:45:35,300 --> 01:45:36,340
Rebels, I tell you.

2967
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:38,620
So, of course, I never got invited to

2968
01:45:38,620 --> 01:45:42,360
do anything with any podcast industrial complex conference

2969
01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:45,620
until, gosh, this is now three years ago.

2970
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:50,460
So you were blackballed for being a dick.

2971
01:45:51,140 --> 01:45:51,660
Correct.

2972
01:45:52,140 --> 01:45:53,160
Or not playing the game.

2973
01:45:53,180 --> 01:45:54,320
But I agree with you.

2974
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:57,800
I think you stood on proper grounds.

2975
01:45:57,980 --> 01:45:58,680
You were doing it.

2976
01:45:58,840 --> 01:45:59,620
You were a professional.

2977
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:02,460
You don't pay somebody so you can give

2978
01:46:02,460 --> 01:46:03,000
a speech.

2979
01:46:03,820 --> 01:46:06,200
Well, I know you haven't done any conference

2980
01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:07,920
speeches for a while, but that is now

2981
01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:10,680
pretty much the entire game.

2982
01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:11,680
Yeah.

2983
01:46:11,780 --> 01:46:13,380
Well, that's why one of the reasons I

2984
01:46:13,380 --> 01:46:16,760
probably haven't done any conference speeches in the

2985
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:19,240
last five plus years, at least.

2986
01:46:19,380 --> 01:46:19,800
At least.

2987
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:23,880
If that's the game, I'm not playing the

2988
01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:24,040
game.

2989
01:46:24,040 --> 01:46:25,520
I don't have time for that crap.

2990
01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:25,860
I can.

2991
01:46:26,340 --> 01:46:28,660
I have a podcast to attend to.

2992
01:46:28,980 --> 01:46:30,240
And yes, you do.

2993
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:31,760
You need to grow your brand.

2994
01:46:31,980 --> 01:46:32,420
You're busy.

2995
01:46:32,520 --> 01:46:34,940
I need to grow my brand on Twitter.

2996
01:46:35,160 --> 01:46:37,600
You're busy doing things that are very important.

2997
01:46:37,820 --> 01:46:38,980
Growing your brand.

2998
01:46:43,740 --> 01:46:46,780
So three years ago, because of the out

2999
01:46:46,780 --> 01:46:48,940
of the gate success of the podcast index,

3000
01:46:48,940 --> 01:46:50,720
and there's a lot of noise around podcasting

3001
01:46:50,720 --> 01:46:52,460
2.0 and new apps were coming up.

3002
01:46:52,460 --> 01:46:55,500
They said, well, you know, if you want

3003
01:46:55,500 --> 01:46:58,220
to do a session, you know, we'll make

3004
01:46:58,220 --> 01:46:59,820
something available to you.

3005
01:47:00,340 --> 01:47:02,620
And I said, well, you know, because at

3006
01:47:02,620 --> 01:47:04,380
this point I wanted to just meet a

3007
01:47:04,380 --> 01:47:05,840
lot of these people who've been working on

3008
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:06,420
this project.

3009
01:47:06,460 --> 01:47:08,360
And so we all decided to meet in

3010
01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:08,600
Dallas.

3011
01:47:08,700 --> 01:47:12,120
And they literally put us during lunch in

3012
01:47:12,120 --> 01:47:13,900
a room way in the back on the

3013
01:47:13,900 --> 01:47:14,700
third floor.

3014
01:47:15,180 --> 01:47:18,160
And so with the expected results, it was

3015
01:47:18,160 --> 01:47:20,720
like 20 people there and, you know, no

3016
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:22,080
signage, no promotion.

3017
01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:24,340
So it was quite insulting.

3018
01:47:25,460 --> 01:47:26,300
But that's a good one.

3019
01:47:26,780 --> 01:47:26,920
Yeah.

3020
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:29,300
But it didn't cost money and we got

3021
01:47:29,300 --> 01:47:30,780
to meet everybody and hang out for a

3022
01:47:30,780 --> 01:47:31,180
couple of days.

3023
01:47:31,300 --> 01:47:34,360
So of course, I vowed I would never

3024
01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:35,040
do anything.

3025
01:47:35,500 --> 01:47:37,740
But then one of the participants in podcasting

3026
01:47:37,740 --> 01:47:41,440
2.0 Soundstack, who actually do a lot

3027
01:47:41,440 --> 01:47:43,600
of hosting and a lot of ad stuff

3028
01:47:43,600 --> 01:47:45,640
for other podcast hosting companies.

3029
01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:48,660
And they're most known for Live 365, live

3030
01:47:48,660 --> 01:47:51,600
streaming, which is a big part of podcasting

3031
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:53,400
2.0. Witness people listening to this on

3032
01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:54,440
a modern podcast app.

3033
01:47:55,300 --> 01:47:59,640
Rocky Thomas, she said, hey, Adam, we'll pay

3034
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:01,500
for a booth if you'll come and do,

3035
01:48:01,940 --> 01:48:04,120
you know, just a fireside chat.

3036
01:48:04,540 --> 01:48:06,200
I was like, that sounds like fun.

3037
01:48:06,540 --> 01:48:08,160
And I just and I talked to my

3038
01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:09,660
buddy, Mitch, the periodontist.

3039
01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:10,980
He said, yeah, you can use my plane.

3040
01:48:11,700 --> 01:48:13,080
And so I flew up in the morning

3041
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:14,720
and flew back in the afternoon.

3042
01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:16,260
So I didn't have to stay overnight or

3043
01:48:16,260 --> 01:48:19,780
drive five hours each way or spend seven

3044
01:48:19,780 --> 01:48:21,100
hours getting there by commercial.

3045
01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:24,060
So not too much skin off my bones.

3046
01:48:27,580 --> 01:48:30,080
And the main thing, it was great.

3047
01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:30,620
It was fun.

3048
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:33,460
Talked about no agenda, how awesome we are,

3049
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:36,640
value for value, live stream, all this stuff.

3050
01:48:36,860 --> 01:48:39,000
But what was new, and this is something

3051
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:42,440
new for conferences, which I was convinced would

3052
01:48:42,440 --> 01:48:42,920
suck.

3053
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:45,760
The way they do it now is they

3054
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:48,180
don't have a hundred, you know, all these

3055
01:48:48,180 --> 01:48:50,580
little rooms where, you know, you can you

3056
01:48:50,580 --> 01:48:53,140
can shove 30, 40 people in there.

3057
01:48:53,300 --> 01:48:54,700
And it always smells.

3058
01:48:54,940 --> 01:48:55,400
You know what I mean?

3059
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:58,000
You get like those session rooms and it's

3060
01:48:58,000 --> 01:48:59,520
just as smelly and sweaty.

3061
01:49:00,340 --> 01:49:01,240
Am I right?

3062
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:03,180
I don't know.

3063
01:49:03,220 --> 01:49:05,400
I never noticed the stench because I never

3064
01:49:05,400 --> 01:49:06,720
played a small room.

3065
01:49:06,780 --> 01:49:08,280
Well, remember, these are podcasters.

3066
01:49:08,900 --> 01:49:11,080
So these are people who typically sit in

3067
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:12,580
their basement doing a podcast.

3068
01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:14,520
So it makes sense.

3069
01:49:14,760 --> 01:49:16,480
And then if it's full, you know, you

3070
01:49:16,480 --> 01:49:18,940
people can't stand the back and you can

3071
01:49:18,940 --> 01:49:20,000
barely move.

3072
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:20,680
And so it's no good.

3073
01:49:21,100 --> 01:49:24,100
So they have this giant expo hall at

3074
01:49:24,100 --> 01:49:26,320
the Gaylord in Dallas.

3075
01:49:27,100 --> 01:49:28,660
And first of all, it's carpeted.

3076
01:49:29,020 --> 01:49:30,860
And I got to tell you, when it

3077
01:49:30,860 --> 01:49:33,460
comes to trade shows, carpeting is very important,

3078
01:49:33,580 --> 01:49:36,040
particularly for people who are walking around all

3079
01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:36,480
day.

3080
01:49:37,040 --> 01:49:38,420
Yeah, this is good.

3081
01:49:38,500 --> 01:49:40,300
Very thick, nice carpeting.

3082
01:49:40,380 --> 01:49:42,880
And they had all of these stages completely

3083
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:45,340
open with chairs in front and plenty of

3084
01:49:45,340 --> 01:49:46,840
room for people to stand around.

3085
01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:48,900
And you'd think this would be a nightmare

3086
01:49:48,900 --> 01:49:52,620
with all these different interviews and speeches and

3087
01:49:52,620 --> 01:49:53,800
keynotes going on.

3088
01:49:54,140 --> 01:49:56,640
But no, they have.

3089
01:49:56,760 --> 01:49:57,940
And I guess this is a new a

3090
01:49:57,940 --> 01:49:59,000
new thing with conferences.

3091
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:01,120
You walk into the expo hall.

3092
01:50:01,260 --> 01:50:04,680
Everybody gets a pair of headphones, wireless headphones.

3093
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:07,800
And there's three controls on the headphones on

3094
01:50:07,800 --> 01:50:11,120
off volume button and then a channel selector

3095
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:14,840
and the headphones on the outside turn color

3096
01:50:14,840 --> 01:50:19,620
white, blue, red, green or purple, indicating what

3097
01:50:19,620 --> 01:50:20,820
channel you're listening to.

3098
01:50:21,780 --> 01:50:23,900
So we're sitting on stage.

3099
01:50:24,020 --> 01:50:25,100
We have headphones on.

3100
01:50:25,180 --> 01:50:26,020
We have hand mics.

3101
01:50:26,740 --> 01:50:28,680
And we were on the white channel, which

3102
01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:31,280
I did say was kind of racist.

3103
01:50:32,220 --> 01:50:35,880
And the whole audience packed all had headphones

3104
01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:36,840
on with it.

3105
01:50:36,860 --> 01:50:38,560
You could see if someone wasn't listening, like

3106
01:50:38,560 --> 01:50:39,700
someone's on the red channel.

3107
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:41,060
You could you could rouse them.

3108
01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:41,940
You could call them out.

3109
01:50:41,980 --> 01:50:42,980
But no one was doing that.

3110
01:50:43,360 --> 01:50:44,860
And they all have their headphones on.

3111
01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:46,140
I thought this was going to be the

3112
01:50:46,140 --> 01:50:47,660
stupidest thing in the world.

3113
01:50:47,700 --> 01:50:49,780
Like, how lame is this?

3114
01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:53,080
I got to tell you, it was fantastic.

3115
01:50:53,820 --> 01:50:57,520
It's like doing a podcast where everybody's on

3116
01:50:57,520 --> 01:51:00,200
the podcast, only they don't have mics and

3117
01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:02,600
they're all listening because you're in their head,

3118
01:51:02,820 --> 01:51:03,860
between their ears.

3119
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:05,820
And no one was on their phone.

3120
01:51:05,980 --> 01:51:07,220
No one was looking down.

3121
01:51:07,380 --> 01:51:08,260
No one's looking away.

3122
01:51:08,960 --> 01:51:12,800
It was really revolutionary for the conference business.

3123
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:14,200
I will hand that to them.

3124
01:51:17,450 --> 01:51:18,410
Sounds terrible.

3125
01:51:18,650 --> 01:51:19,590
That's what I thought.

3126
01:51:20,410 --> 01:51:21,250
But it's not.

3127
01:51:21,710 --> 01:51:23,450
So they had all the stages like it's

3128
01:51:23,450 --> 01:51:26,230
like a like an outdoor concert with multiple

3129
01:51:26,230 --> 01:51:27,790
stages in the same room.

3130
01:51:27,970 --> 01:51:28,430
Yes.

3131
01:51:29,370 --> 01:51:30,910
And these guys talking about that.

3132
01:51:31,550 --> 01:51:33,990
And, you know, like I walked past a

3133
01:51:33,990 --> 01:51:36,690
big stage and there was James Cridland was

3134
01:51:36,690 --> 01:51:39,130
interviewing the guy from Coat Hanger or Goal

3135
01:51:39,130 --> 01:51:40,190
Hanger or whatever it's called.

3136
01:51:40,850 --> 01:51:42,290
I like Coat Hanger better.

3137
01:51:43,250 --> 01:51:45,490
And and they're just talking.

3138
01:51:45,630 --> 01:51:47,070
You never would have been able to hear

3139
01:51:47,070 --> 01:51:48,310
them from way in the back.

3140
01:51:48,350 --> 01:51:49,830
But I just put the headphones on, clicked

3141
01:51:49,830 --> 01:51:49,970
on.

3142
01:51:50,290 --> 01:51:52,130
Yeah, well, that that makes sense.

3143
01:51:52,270 --> 01:51:53,150
It was great.

3144
01:51:53,570 --> 01:51:55,370
Instead of, you know, you can't really hear

3145
01:51:55,370 --> 01:51:56,170
people are poorly.

3146
01:51:56,190 --> 01:51:57,830
Mike is not loud enough.

3147
01:51:57,890 --> 01:51:58,690
You got feedback.

3148
01:51:59,150 --> 01:52:02,230
Now, we all could have just stayed at

3149
01:52:02,230 --> 01:52:04,230
home and be on Zoom, to be honest

3150
01:52:04,230 --> 01:52:05,330
about it.

3151
01:52:05,490 --> 01:52:07,590
Well, if you have a good audio engineer

3152
01:52:07,590 --> 01:52:09,390
who knows how to stage speakers.

3153
01:52:09,750 --> 01:52:12,110
So there's a delay between the front speaker

3154
01:52:12,110 --> 01:52:14,210
and the back speaker in such a way

3155
01:52:14,210 --> 01:52:16,390
that the sound sounds like what you sound

3156
01:52:16,390 --> 01:52:18,150
like, the voice of God when you're speaking

3157
01:52:18,150 --> 01:52:18,650
up there.

3158
01:52:18,830 --> 01:52:19,230
I prefer.

3159
01:52:19,410 --> 01:52:21,390
But nobody has those guys anymore.

3160
01:52:21,530 --> 01:52:22,290
I don't know why.

3161
01:52:22,610 --> 01:52:25,170
I guess they learned the code where they

3162
01:52:25,170 --> 01:52:25,510
went.

3163
01:52:25,510 --> 01:52:28,910
Yeah, they learned how to vibe code, man.

3164
01:52:29,250 --> 01:52:31,730
Anyway, it was it was very enjoyable.

3165
01:52:33,890 --> 01:52:35,870
And then and then just a bunch of

3166
01:52:35,870 --> 01:52:36,450
people I knew.

3167
01:52:36,570 --> 01:52:38,770
So everybody's going to have ear infections is

3168
01:52:38,770 --> 01:52:39,490
what you're telling me.

3169
01:52:39,590 --> 01:52:41,050
That was kind of the disgusting part.

3170
01:52:41,130 --> 01:52:43,910
They did not hand out little sanitization kits,

3171
01:52:44,010 --> 01:52:45,710
you know, but you can just wipe down

3172
01:52:45,710 --> 01:52:47,910
the you know, they get sweaty.

3173
01:52:48,430 --> 01:52:49,790
You wouldn't have liked it because, you know,

3174
01:52:49,790 --> 01:52:50,670
you get ear mold.

3175
01:52:50,790 --> 01:52:52,450
You get sweaty ear mold.

3176
01:52:52,450 --> 01:52:55,750
I don't need the aggravation of ear mold.

3177
01:52:58,230 --> 01:52:59,470
So that was the.

3178
01:52:59,870 --> 01:53:01,910
So welcome all those new people who are

3179
01:53:01,910 --> 01:53:02,210
listening.

3180
01:53:02,770 --> 01:53:04,670
Welcome all of the new listeners.

3181
01:53:04,830 --> 01:53:07,550
In fact, since we talked about it, why

3182
01:53:07,550 --> 01:53:09,710
don't we say in the morning to you,

3183
01:53:09,870 --> 01:53:11,970
the man who put the C in copper

3184
01:53:11,970 --> 01:53:12,490
disc.

3185
01:53:13,370 --> 01:53:15,130
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend

3186
01:53:15,130 --> 01:53:15,730
on the other end.

3187
01:53:15,730 --> 01:53:18,390
The one and the only Mr. John C.

3188
01:53:19,730 --> 01:53:20,070
DeVore.

3189
01:53:23,070 --> 01:53:24,830
Yeah, good morning to you, Mr. Curry.

3190
01:53:24,950 --> 01:53:25,350
Good morning, sir.

3191
01:53:25,450 --> 01:53:26,610
Seaboost to the ground, feed in the air,

3192
01:53:27,050 --> 01:53:28,350
subs in the water and the dames and

3193
01:53:28,350 --> 01:53:28,990
knights out there.

3194
01:53:29,070 --> 01:53:30,770
In the morning to the trolls in the

3195
01:53:30,770 --> 01:53:31,290
troll room.

3196
01:53:31,390 --> 01:53:32,510
Let me count you for a second.

3197
01:53:32,630 --> 01:53:33,030
Hold on.

3198
01:53:37,850 --> 01:53:38,190
Well.

3199
01:53:39,730 --> 01:53:41,150
That is what I call an.

3200
01:53:42,910 --> 01:53:44,650
We got 1655.

3201
01:53:44,650 --> 01:53:45,910
It seems we went down.

3202
01:53:48,760 --> 01:53:49,620
Yeah, we should have 18.

3203
01:53:49,740 --> 01:53:51,100
We should have 18 at least.

3204
01:53:51,320 --> 01:53:51,600
Yes.

3205
01:53:52,700 --> 01:53:54,120
OK, well, there you go.

3206
01:53:54,940 --> 01:53:57,060
OK, probably the stable coin discussion.

3207
01:53:59,220 --> 01:54:00,720
No, I don't know.

3208
01:54:00,980 --> 01:54:03,260
No, no, no, because I don't like to

3209
01:54:03,260 --> 01:54:03,980
talk about.

3210
01:54:04,220 --> 01:54:05,600
No, that are that complicated.

3211
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:08,460
No, because one hour and nine minutes ago

3212
01:54:08,460 --> 01:54:10,420
was the peak at 1655.

3213
01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:12,460
So that was that was.

3214
01:54:12,680 --> 01:54:14,980
Well, so well, then we then we still

3215
01:54:14,980 --> 01:54:16,140
have a problem.

3216
01:54:17,220 --> 01:54:19,680
People stop coming because they had a problem

3217
01:54:19,680 --> 01:54:21,080
a couple of weeks ago and they still

3218
01:54:21,080 --> 01:54:23,160
haven't figured out that it's been fixed.

3219
01:54:23,420 --> 01:54:27,480
Yeah, but people there are people have emailed

3220
01:54:27,480 --> 01:54:28,820
me and said, hey, it's working again.

3221
01:54:28,860 --> 01:54:31,200
So we'll have to build that one at

3222
01:54:31,200 --> 01:54:31,720
a time.

3223
01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:33,880
You know what you should when you grow

3224
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:36,780
your brand on X, you should let people

3225
01:54:36,780 --> 01:54:38,460
know bitching about this when I grow my

3226
01:54:38,460 --> 01:54:38,780
brand.

3227
01:54:39,100 --> 01:54:41,120
But only but only when you grow your

3228
01:54:41,120 --> 01:54:41,400
brand.

3229
01:54:41,460 --> 01:54:41,980
Not before.

3230
01:54:42,780 --> 01:54:45,080
And so, yes, many of them are listening

3231
01:54:45,080 --> 01:54:47,320
at troll room dot IO or they may

3232
01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:48,860
be on one of those modern podcast apps,

3233
01:54:48,980 --> 01:54:51,240
which I highlighted at the podcast movement.

3234
01:54:51,380 --> 01:54:53,060
I would have expected all of you were

3235
01:54:53,060 --> 01:54:54,800
using them by now, but there were a

3236
01:54:54,800 --> 01:54:54,980
lot of.

3237
01:54:55,180 --> 01:54:58,580
Oh, and oh, when I told them that,

3238
01:54:58,580 --> 01:55:00,380
you know, when you go live with your

3239
01:55:00,380 --> 01:55:03,520
podcast, your podcast app will alert your audience

3240
01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:05,320
so you can grow your brand.

3241
01:55:06,640 --> 01:55:07,980
Oh, grow your show.

3242
01:55:08,120 --> 01:55:09,180
Oh, that's great.

3243
01:55:09,180 --> 01:55:11,400
And of course, through the magic of pod

3244
01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:14,000
ping technology, when we release the show, since

3245
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:15,980
you didn't have time or couldn't listen live

3246
01:55:15,980 --> 01:55:18,900
within 90 seconds, you'll be notified of that

3247
01:55:19,500 --> 01:55:21,780
and you can get those at podcast apps

3248
01:55:21,780 --> 01:55:23,040
dot com.

3249
01:55:23,660 --> 01:55:25,720
We are also value for value.

3250
01:55:25,780 --> 01:55:31,560
Another topic much discussed, which is is kind

3251
01:55:31,560 --> 01:55:32,880
of a simple concept, really.

3252
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:34,460
It's like we don't want to be interrupted

3253
01:55:34,460 --> 01:55:35,320
by ads.

3254
01:55:35,320 --> 01:55:37,640
We don't want to kowtow to the podcast

3255
01:55:37,640 --> 01:55:38,920
industrial complex.

3256
01:55:39,340 --> 01:55:42,260
By the way, the CPMs for those ads.

3257
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:44,140
What do you think the CPM is for

3258
01:55:44,140 --> 01:55:45,600
an ad that's inserted?

3259
01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:46,780
Dollar?

3260
01:55:47,300 --> 01:55:48,220
Not quite that bad.

3261
01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:48,980
About 350.

3262
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:50,120
Yeah.

3263
01:55:51,320 --> 01:55:51,800
350.

3264
01:55:53,020 --> 01:55:54,880
I mean, and it can only go down.

3265
01:55:56,320 --> 01:55:57,400
It's not going to go up.

3266
01:55:57,520 --> 01:55:59,520
No, no, no.

3267
01:55:59,600 --> 01:56:02,320
Now there's a higher CPM, which is cost

3268
01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:03,940
per thousand for those who are interested.

3269
01:56:04,580 --> 01:56:06,800
If you if you read an ad, a

3270
01:56:06,800 --> 01:56:07,780
host read ad.

3271
01:56:08,180 --> 01:56:09,900
Host read ad, I wish I could give

3272
01:56:09,900 --> 01:56:10,380
you five bucks.

3273
01:56:10,620 --> 01:56:10,980
Where I was.

3274
01:56:11,120 --> 01:56:11,700
No, that can be.

3275
01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:14,400
They say they say up to about 20.

3276
01:56:14,500 --> 01:56:17,840
But after commissions from everybody, probably you're looking

3277
01:56:17,840 --> 01:56:19,960
at 13 to the show.

3278
01:56:20,980 --> 01:56:23,440
And it would go like, you know, John,

3279
01:56:23,560 --> 01:56:25,020
Phoebe's looking so great.

3280
01:56:25,660 --> 01:56:26,020
Really?

3281
01:56:26,140 --> 01:56:27,120
Why, you think?

3282
01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:29,240
Well, I started feeding her this new food.

3283
01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:32,340
Tell me more.

3284
01:56:32,340 --> 01:56:34,180
It's called Farmer's Dog.

3285
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:36,520
Yeah.

3286
01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:39,360
And people would immediately rush and say, wow,

3287
01:56:39,420 --> 01:56:40,860
Adam's dog is looking good.

3288
01:56:40,940 --> 01:56:42,220
I got to get me some of that.

3289
01:56:42,920 --> 01:56:43,900
And that's how it works.

3290
01:56:43,960 --> 01:56:46,980
But instead of being total shills, we just

3291
01:56:46,980 --> 01:56:48,360
ask you to support the show.

3292
01:56:49,140 --> 01:56:49,800
Equal to.

3293
01:56:50,020 --> 01:56:50,220
Directly.

3294
01:56:50,440 --> 01:56:50,960
Directly.

3295
01:56:51,320 --> 01:56:53,980
So all we have is processing fees.

3296
01:56:54,120 --> 01:56:57,480
No middleman here besides the obvious processing fees.

3297
01:56:58,860 --> 01:56:59,380
Yeah.

3298
01:56:59,380 --> 01:57:01,120
The thing is, even when you have the

3299
01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:04,400
middleman, there's you still have the processing fees.

3300
01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:06,300
But if you send a check, which we

3301
01:57:06,300 --> 01:57:09,420
gladly accept, there's a very 15 cents per

3302
01:57:09,420 --> 01:57:09,700
check.

3303
01:57:09,780 --> 01:57:12,240
Or if you send cash like synonymous of

3304
01:57:12,240 --> 01:57:14,920
dog patch, there's zero processing fees.

3305
01:57:15,020 --> 01:57:18,320
Actually, there is a cash fee now.

3306
01:57:18,360 --> 01:57:21,820
No, but they charge you to deposit money

3307
01:57:21,820 --> 01:57:22,820
into the bank.

3308
01:57:22,980 --> 01:57:23,540
Yeah.

3309
01:57:23,880 --> 01:57:25,080
After a certain amount.

3310
01:57:25,360 --> 01:57:26,140
Same thing with checks.

3311
01:57:26,220 --> 01:57:27,500
But there's a certain amount of checks.

3312
01:57:27,500 --> 01:57:28,720
I think it's like a hundred, a couple

3313
01:57:28,720 --> 01:57:30,760
hundred checks you can do for free, which

3314
01:57:30,760 --> 01:57:31,820
is really cheap.

3315
01:57:31,980 --> 01:57:32,860
It's free.

3316
01:57:33,280 --> 01:57:35,340
But then after a certain amount, then it

3317
01:57:35,340 --> 01:57:39,960
goes to the 15 cents per dollar.

3318
01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:43,720
It's 15 cents per whatever.

3319
01:57:44,040 --> 01:57:46,460
It doesn't know it's a flat fee per

3320
01:57:46,460 --> 01:57:46,820
check.

3321
01:57:46,840 --> 01:57:48,900
So if you send in a thousand dollars

3322
01:57:48,900 --> 01:57:51,120
in a check, it's 15 cents.

3323
01:57:51,160 --> 01:57:52,680
If you send in five dollars in a

3324
01:57:52,680 --> 01:57:54,380
check, it's 15 cents.

3325
01:57:54,400 --> 01:57:55,840
If you send a dollar in a check,

3326
01:57:55,940 --> 01:57:57,380
it's 15 cents.

3327
01:57:57,500 --> 01:58:00,460
Unlike, you know, the systems out there from

3328
01:58:00,460 --> 01:58:03,780
everything from Visa, MasterCard, everything is a percentage

3329
01:58:03,780 --> 01:58:07,400
of the total, which is not quite as

3330
01:58:07,400 --> 01:58:09,300
good a deal to be honest about.

3331
01:58:09,360 --> 01:58:11,260
But yes, at some point, I don't know

3332
01:58:11,260 --> 01:58:12,540
what the cutoff is.

3333
01:58:12,580 --> 01:58:14,480
I've never asked, but I do know there's

3334
01:58:14,480 --> 01:58:15,980
a cash acceptance fee.

3335
01:58:16,100 --> 01:58:18,000
I think you get after it gets to

3336
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:19,860
a few thousand bucks, they start charging you.

3337
01:58:20,140 --> 01:58:22,320
Hey, you know what's going to revolutionize this?

3338
01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:24,020
Stablecoin.

3339
01:58:24,180 --> 01:58:24,600
That's right.

3340
01:58:25,440 --> 01:58:26,240
Probably not.

3341
01:58:27,540 --> 01:58:29,140
There's still going to be a fee.

3342
01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:30,860
You think the banks are going to let

3343
01:58:30,860 --> 01:58:32,920
anything like that slide without fees?

3344
01:58:33,840 --> 01:58:34,660
Dream world.

3345
01:58:35,540 --> 01:58:38,000
It'll have to be pretty low, but there

3346
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:38,720
will be no middle.

3347
01:58:38,720 --> 01:58:39,780
How low can it go?

3348
01:58:39,880 --> 01:58:40,820
15 cents?

3349
01:58:41,160 --> 01:58:42,140
It'll be even lower.

3350
01:58:43,180 --> 01:58:46,460
No, no, they're probably hurting themselves at 15

3351
01:58:46,460 --> 01:58:46,880
cents.

3352
01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:48,200
Maybe.

3353
01:58:48,700 --> 01:58:50,040
I'm surprised it's that cheap.

3354
01:58:50,120 --> 01:58:52,720
I think Stripe that we have on the

3355
01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:54,880
website already accepts stablecoin.

3356
01:58:56,480 --> 01:58:58,580
I'd love to see the first person donate

3357
01:58:58,580 --> 01:59:01,460
to the show with USDC because that's what

3358
01:59:01,460 --> 01:59:03,520
they accept on Stripe.

3359
01:59:03,740 --> 01:59:04,920
What's USDC?

3360
01:59:05,200 --> 01:59:06,460
U.S. Digital Currency?

3361
01:59:06,720 --> 01:59:08,760
No, that's the Circle stablecoin.

3362
01:59:08,860 --> 01:59:10,900
You have USDT, which is Tether.

3363
01:59:11,320 --> 01:59:13,460
And of course, you'll have USDX, which will

3364
01:59:13,460 --> 01:59:16,060
be X, and USDF, which will be Facebook.

3365
01:59:17,860 --> 01:59:19,680
Yeah, USDC is already accepted.

3366
01:59:19,840 --> 01:59:20,590
I was looking at the news.

3367
01:59:22,460 --> 01:59:23,940
I was going to say trades, but it

3368
01:59:23,940 --> 01:59:24,600
wasn't in the trades.

3369
01:59:24,600 --> 01:59:26,440
It was in the news, financial news, that

3370
01:59:26,440 --> 01:59:28,200
the Zelle thing has fallen apart.

3371
01:59:28,720 --> 01:59:31,780
Oh, yeah, the banks hate it for a

3372
01:59:31,780 --> 01:59:32,540
couple of reasons.

3373
01:59:33,120 --> 01:59:35,640
Well, the bank that we deal with, the

3374
01:59:35,640 --> 01:59:38,140
two of us, refuse to take it, even

3375
01:59:38,140 --> 01:59:39,540
though it has gone through.

3376
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:42,600
Yeah, because it's basically a wire transfer through

3377
01:59:42,600 --> 01:59:43,680
an intermediary.

3378
01:59:44,180 --> 01:59:46,620
But the banks don't like it because there's

3379
01:59:46,620 --> 01:59:47,860
no takesies-backsies.

3380
01:59:48,320 --> 01:59:49,580
They can't take it back.

3381
01:59:49,700 --> 01:59:52,120
And if so, what happens if someone gets

3382
01:59:52,120 --> 01:59:54,460
a hold of your Zelle and they just

3383
01:59:54,460 --> 01:59:56,820
empty out your bank account, then you have

3384
01:59:56,820 --> 01:59:59,300
a very unhappy, broke customer and there's no

3385
01:59:59,300 --> 02:00:00,380
way to get the money back.

3386
02:00:01,720 --> 02:00:04,080
And it's also cutting into their business.

3387
02:00:04,740 --> 02:00:06,260
Well, that's the main reason.

3388
02:00:06,300 --> 02:00:11,340
They don't care less about your poor problem.

3389
02:00:11,540 --> 02:00:13,160
Yeah, well, there's a lot of things.

3390
02:00:13,300 --> 02:00:15,600
All of these, like Venmo.

3391
02:00:17,680 --> 02:00:21,140
So Venmo uses Plaid middleware.

3392
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:24,600
And what Plaid does is it, in essence,

3393
02:00:24,960 --> 02:00:26,660
you give it your password.

3394
02:00:26,840 --> 02:00:27,840
I mean, you don't actually give it your

3395
02:00:27,840 --> 02:00:30,800
password, but you give it permission to be

3396
02:00:30,800 --> 02:00:34,920
in your account to credit and debit money

3397
02:00:34,920 --> 02:00:36,800
and look at your stuff.

3398
02:00:38,060 --> 02:00:39,900
And so that's the bad part.

3399
02:00:39,980 --> 02:00:41,600
And what the banks have found is that

3400
02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:44,820
Plaid logs into accounts, not just when they're

3401
02:00:44,820 --> 02:00:47,640
paying or receiving money, but like 10 times

3402
02:00:47,640 --> 02:00:48,080
a day.

3403
02:00:48,420 --> 02:00:49,700
Well, let me see what he's doing now.

3404
02:00:49,760 --> 02:00:51,060
What is he spending money on here?

3405
02:00:51,060 --> 02:00:52,040
Look at that.

3406
02:00:52,120 --> 02:00:53,420
Well, maybe we can sell this to an

3407
02:00:53,420 --> 02:00:54,080
advertiser.

3408
02:00:55,160 --> 02:00:55,880
It's sick.

3409
02:00:56,000 --> 02:00:56,980
It's gross, really.

3410
02:00:57,080 --> 02:00:57,700
It's gross.

3411
02:00:58,400 --> 02:00:58,960
And they do that.

3412
02:00:59,040 --> 02:01:00,480
Well, we don't use those systems.

3413
02:01:00,600 --> 02:01:03,980
We use the basic old-fashioned system, the

3414
02:01:03,980 --> 02:01:10,000
bank itself, cash, PayPal and Stripe and now

3415
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:10,660
Strike.

3416
02:01:10,940 --> 02:01:11,780
And that's it.

3417
02:01:11,820 --> 02:01:13,640
We don't have Square.

3418
02:01:13,860 --> 02:01:15,100
We don't do a lot of different ones.

3419
02:01:16,380 --> 02:01:17,800
But they're all out there.

3420
02:01:17,980 --> 02:01:19,300
But, you know, people say, why don't you

3421
02:01:19,300 --> 02:01:19,620
do this?

3422
02:01:19,660 --> 02:01:20,140
Why don't you do that?

3423
02:01:20,140 --> 02:01:21,920
How much more can we do?

3424
02:01:24,320 --> 02:01:24,440
Yeah.

3425
02:01:24,700 --> 02:01:26,400
Don't send blankets or water.

3426
02:01:26,560 --> 02:01:27,580
Just send your cash.

3427
02:01:28,240 --> 02:01:30,360
Anyway, we're a check or check.

3428
02:01:30,480 --> 02:01:31,140
Yeah, it's great.

3429
02:01:33,220 --> 02:01:36,920
So you can send time, talent, treasure.

3430
02:01:37,040 --> 02:01:38,740
You can't actually send time and talent.

3431
02:01:38,900 --> 02:01:40,500
But by the way, the check goes to

3432
02:01:40,500 --> 02:01:45,020
Box 339, El Cerrito, California, 94530.

3433
02:01:45,220 --> 02:01:45,640
There you go.

3434
02:01:45,760 --> 02:01:47,040
And it should be addressed to the No

3435
02:01:47,040 --> 02:01:49,720
Agenda Show or me or both.

3436
02:01:49,860 --> 02:01:50,140
Yes.

3437
02:01:50,900 --> 02:01:54,300
So we love it when people do things

3438
02:01:54,300 --> 02:01:56,560
for the show, boots on the ground, organizing

3439
02:01:56,560 --> 02:01:59,540
meetups, helping out with servers, other types of

3440
02:01:59,540 --> 02:01:59,940
things.

3441
02:02:00,160 --> 02:02:02,440
That's all very valuable to the show because

3442
02:02:02,440 --> 02:02:05,140
it saves us direct money of having to

3443
02:02:05,140 --> 02:02:06,360
pay for those services.

3444
02:02:06,980 --> 02:02:09,340
And even though we, at this point, could

3445
02:02:09,340 --> 02:02:12,180
probably do our own art, I don't think

3446
02:02:12,180 --> 02:02:12,780
we want to.

3447
02:02:13,440 --> 02:02:15,680
Because, you know, just everyone else is doing

3448
02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:19,580
prompting on the AIs to create artwork for

3449
02:02:19,580 --> 02:02:19,720
us.

3450
02:02:19,720 --> 02:02:21,420
Now, obviously, you need to have a good

3451
02:02:21,420 --> 02:02:21,880
idea.

3452
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:22,840
Needs to be fun.

3453
02:02:22,920 --> 02:02:24,400
We like it to be funny, if possible.

3454
02:02:24,840 --> 02:02:27,420
And that's not something artificial intelligence can do.

3455
02:02:27,620 --> 02:02:30,860
So your creativeness is still highly appreciated.

3456
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:34,320
Blue Acorn did the artwork for episode 1791.

3457
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:38,300
We titled that Bolt Muncher, which is a

3458
02:02:38,300 --> 02:02:42,100
slur these days for robots and AI systems.

3459
02:02:42,980 --> 02:02:44,220
And it was all right.

3460
02:02:44,340 --> 02:02:46,160
I mean, if you had listened to the

3461
02:02:46,160 --> 02:02:49,060
show, then you got it and you liked

3462
02:02:49,060 --> 02:02:49,280
it.

3463
02:02:49,720 --> 02:02:54,780
Had a boomer counting out resistors on a

3464
02:02:54,780 --> 02:02:57,360
counter, which I guess is me, since I

3465
02:02:57,360 --> 02:02:58,200
told the story.

3466
02:02:58,760 --> 02:03:01,580
And there's a robot next to it whose

3467
02:03:01,580 --> 02:03:03,420
name is Clanker.

3468
02:03:04,100 --> 02:03:06,480
And it was the best one we had.

3469
02:03:06,580 --> 02:03:07,620
I mean, there were some others.

3470
02:03:08,160 --> 02:03:09,480
But you like Screw Worm.

3471
02:03:09,640 --> 02:03:10,520
I like Screw Worm.

3472
02:03:10,620 --> 02:03:13,140
You thought it hit the gross factor and

3473
02:03:13,140 --> 02:03:15,420
therefore was vetoed by you.

3474
02:03:16,260 --> 02:03:17,000
Yes, indeed.

3475
02:03:17,280 --> 02:03:18,920
Yeah, I have a gross factor thing.

3476
02:03:18,920 --> 02:03:21,140
You were both like Body Double, but that

3477
02:03:21,140 --> 02:03:23,480
was screwed up by Comic Strip Blogger, who

3478
02:03:23,480 --> 02:03:24,660
didn't put the effort in.

3479
02:03:24,780 --> 02:03:27,280
Yeah, if Comic Strip Blogger had used AI

3480
02:03:27,280 --> 02:03:31,200
correctly, AI would have said, oh, your grammar

3481
02:03:31,200 --> 02:03:32,080
is incorrect.

3482
02:03:32,940 --> 02:03:34,320
Because we wanted that art.

3483
02:03:34,400 --> 02:03:35,180
We thought it was great.

3484
02:03:35,280 --> 02:03:37,920
He could have X'd that out in Photoshop

3485
02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:39,940
and put in the right grammar.

3486
02:03:40,480 --> 02:03:41,600
But you're right.

3487
02:03:41,620 --> 02:03:42,280
He was lazy.

3488
02:03:42,760 --> 02:03:44,540
It says, you're Body Double.

3489
02:03:44,900 --> 02:03:47,120
But it should have said, you're a Body

3490
02:03:47,120 --> 02:03:47,480
Double.

3491
02:03:48,220 --> 02:03:50,420
And he didn't do that and was also

3492
02:03:50,420 --> 02:03:52,240
not aligned properly.

3493
02:03:52,700 --> 02:03:53,220
So he was lazy.

3494
02:03:53,500 --> 02:03:54,860
It could have been shifted a little to

3495
02:03:54,860 --> 02:03:55,240
the right.

3496
02:03:55,460 --> 02:03:58,060
He would have had a winner.

3497
02:03:58,240 --> 02:03:59,040
He would have had a winner.

3498
02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:00,640
That was our first choice.

3499
02:04:00,820 --> 02:04:01,140
It was.

3500
02:04:01,400 --> 02:04:01,640
Because it was funny.

3501
02:04:02,220 --> 02:04:02,840
Yeah, yeah.

3502
02:04:02,980 --> 02:04:04,960
Because, yeah, it was very no agenda, very

3503
02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:05,320
funny.

3504
02:04:06,240 --> 02:04:08,400
And he was lazy.

3505
02:04:08,780 --> 02:04:09,580
What can you say?

3506
02:04:10,240 --> 02:04:11,980
By the way, on the Screw Worm thing,

3507
02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:15,160
I got a note from a rancher, Rancher

3508
02:04:15,160 --> 02:04:19,960
Austin is his name, and he said this

3509
02:04:19,960 --> 02:04:23,060
whole Screw Worm thing is a Psy-Op.

3510
02:04:23,500 --> 02:04:26,120
The Psy-Op to raise the price of

3511
02:04:26,120 --> 02:04:26,420
beef.

3512
02:04:29,810 --> 02:04:33,250
And I think he's probably right about that.

3513
02:04:33,490 --> 02:04:33,790
Could be.

3514
02:04:34,410 --> 02:04:36,590
Yeah, the narrative that the Mexican heard is

3515
02:04:36,590 --> 02:04:36,810
over.

3516
02:04:36,810 --> 02:04:38,890
But didn't you get the whole story?

3517
02:04:39,350 --> 02:04:42,330
Not from me and my conspiracy guys, but

3518
02:04:42,330 --> 02:04:45,190
your buddy, the famous Texas Slim?

3519
02:04:45,190 --> 02:04:46,710
Is he being Psy-Oped?

3520
02:04:46,790 --> 02:04:48,510
Is that what you're making the claim?

3521
02:04:48,730 --> 02:04:51,430
No, I'm saying that as we were eating

3522
02:04:51,430 --> 02:04:55,190
beef and drinking wine, I may have misunderstood

3523
02:04:55,190 --> 02:04:58,030
where he said, oh, that whole new world,

3524
02:04:58,230 --> 02:05:00,850
new Screw Worm, that's real.

3525
02:05:01,550 --> 02:05:06,670
And I might have misunderstood his irony.

3526
02:05:08,930 --> 02:05:10,670
That the narrative.

3527
02:05:10,890 --> 02:05:13,210
The way you presented it was possibly ironic.

3528
02:05:13,550 --> 02:05:14,090
No, no.

3529
02:05:14,090 --> 02:05:15,690
That is not the way I presented it.

3530
02:05:15,730 --> 02:05:18,810
But now that this rancher says, hey, this

3531
02:05:18,810 --> 02:05:23,910
is a Psy-Op, I'm like, ah, maybe

3532
02:05:23,910 --> 02:05:25,570
I misunderstood what Slim was saying.

3533
02:05:25,690 --> 02:05:26,890
So I'm going to call him about that

3534
02:05:26,890 --> 02:05:28,310
and then get the full detail.

3535
02:05:28,310 --> 02:05:30,770
Didn't the Texas Slim also say that the

3536
02:05:30,770 --> 02:05:32,770
herd count was down and they were having

3537
02:05:32,770 --> 02:05:33,050
issues?

3538
02:05:33,230 --> 02:05:34,270
Yes, that is true.

3539
02:05:35,050 --> 02:05:35,370
That is true.

3540
02:05:35,370 --> 02:05:38,610
Well, that would increase the price of beef

3541
02:05:38,610 --> 02:05:39,110
for sure.

3542
02:05:39,250 --> 02:05:39,430
Yes.

3543
02:05:39,530 --> 02:05:41,870
Well, that's mainly because we just have commodity

3544
02:05:41,870 --> 02:05:44,410
cowboys and people don't care anymore about ranching

3545
02:05:44,410 --> 02:05:46,050
and all of the young people are selling

3546
02:05:46,050 --> 02:05:49,010
their parents ranch because they don't want to

3547
02:05:49,010 --> 02:05:50,830
pay the inheritance tax.

3548
02:05:51,270 --> 02:05:52,190
And it's a pain in the butt.

3549
02:05:52,250 --> 02:05:53,110
And ranching is hard.

3550
02:05:53,410 --> 02:05:54,950
And they'd rather learn to code.

3551
02:05:55,710 --> 02:05:55,990
Code.

3552
02:05:56,250 --> 02:05:56,470
Code.

3553
02:05:56,590 --> 02:05:57,650
That's the bottom line.

3554
02:05:58,190 --> 02:05:59,250
So other pieces of art.

3555
02:05:59,310 --> 02:05:59,490
Yes.

3556
02:05:59,590 --> 02:06:00,730
I like the Screw Worm.

3557
02:06:00,810 --> 02:06:01,550
That was a no.

3558
02:06:02,490 --> 02:06:03,990
Was there anything else?

3559
02:06:05,530 --> 02:06:07,470
I don't think there was anything else that

3560
02:06:07,470 --> 02:06:08,050
we really...

3561
02:06:08,050 --> 02:06:10,310
You kind of like your new AI girlfriend,

3562
02:06:10,670 --> 02:06:12,630
but it was messy by Nestworks.

3563
02:06:12,630 --> 02:06:14,450
There's a lot of messiness.

3564
02:06:14,910 --> 02:06:15,490
Yeah, it was messy.

3565
02:06:15,490 --> 02:06:16,110
It was messy.

3566
02:06:16,430 --> 02:06:18,110
And then you also like Putin red carpet,

3567
02:06:18,270 --> 02:06:19,490
but I'm like, this is another...

3568
02:06:19,490 --> 02:06:20,910
I did like Putin red carpet because I

3569
02:06:20,910 --> 02:06:26,250
thought the cartooning of Putin, the caricature-ish

3570
02:06:26,250 --> 02:06:28,990
nature of the Putin character walking the red

3571
02:06:28,990 --> 02:06:31,690
carpet was really pretty good.

3572
02:06:31,830 --> 02:06:32,810
It was, but...

3573
02:06:34,310 --> 02:06:35,930
No, you vetoed that.

3574
02:06:36,070 --> 02:06:36,450
I did.

3575
02:06:37,610 --> 02:06:40,170
Anyway, that's pretty much the discussion we have

3576
02:06:40,170 --> 02:06:42,470
every single show day.

3577
02:06:42,470 --> 02:06:44,090
After we're done, after we do the credits,

3578
02:06:44,210 --> 02:06:44,890
after we...

3579
02:06:44,890 --> 02:06:47,890
Yeah, we do the credits, and then we

3580
02:06:47,890 --> 02:06:49,190
select the art, and then we do the

3581
02:06:49,190 --> 02:06:49,430
title.

3582
02:06:49,690 --> 02:06:50,310
That's how it goes.

3583
02:06:50,370 --> 02:06:52,330
And you just heard the whole conversation in

3584
02:06:52,330 --> 02:06:54,770
condensed form, because we really argue and throw

3585
02:06:54,770 --> 02:06:55,590
stuff at each other.

3586
02:06:55,830 --> 02:06:56,150
Yeah.

3587
02:06:56,910 --> 02:06:57,130
Yeah.

3588
02:06:57,310 --> 02:06:59,750
So now we'd like to thank the financial...

3589
02:07:01,310 --> 02:07:04,770
The treasure part of Time, Talents, and Treasure.

3590
02:07:04,890 --> 02:07:06,270
People who supported us financially.

3591
02:07:06,410 --> 02:07:08,390
And we had a new promotion, which you

3592
02:07:08,390 --> 02:07:10,610
launched without even talking to me about it.

3593
02:07:11,630 --> 02:07:13,370
Yeah, I know I've done this a couple

3594
02:07:13,370 --> 02:07:14,010
of times now.

3595
02:07:15,250 --> 02:07:16,530
We had discussed it.

3596
02:07:16,810 --> 02:07:17,790
I have to do that.

3597
02:07:17,910 --> 02:07:21,650
Why don't you explain exactly what the promotion

3598
02:07:21,650 --> 02:07:21,750
is?

3599
02:07:21,750 --> 02:07:23,150
Well, we did talk about it, by the

3600
02:07:23,150 --> 02:07:23,390
way.

3601
02:07:23,530 --> 02:07:25,170
It wasn't like you were completely in the

3602
02:07:25,170 --> 02:07:27,030
dark, because we had discussed on the show

3603
02:07:27,030 --> 02:07:30,430
the idea of naming, giving a no agenda

3604
02:07:30,430 --> 02:07:37,070
secretary generalship out as a kind of a

3605
02:07:37,070 --> 02:07:38,770
token title.

3606
02:07:38,770 --> 02:07:40,810
And you can be secretary...

3607
02:07:40,810 --> 02:07:42,570
And we talked about it after the show

3608
02:07:42,570 --> 02:07:43,990
once too, about how to do it, and

3609
02:07:43,990 --> 02:07:45,530
it should be state by state.

3610
02:07:45,610 --> 02:07:47,830
And I decided that's probably not a good

3611
02:07:47,830 --> 02:07:49,670
idea, because it limits people that are in

3612
02:07:49,670 --> 02:07:50,770
the populous states.

3613
02:07:51,730 --> 02:07:53,530
And so I just said it should be

3614
02:07:53,530 --> 02:07:54,010
open-ended.

3615
02:07:54,150 --> 02:07:56,810
You can make yourself secretary general of anything,

3616
02:07:56,930 --> 02:08:01,010
including the United Nations, under the no agenda

3617
02:08:01,010 --> 02:08:03,330
banner.

3618
02:08:03,690 --> 02:08:08,510
And so the offering is you can become

3619
02:08:08,510 --> 02:08:13,010
secretary general and an executive producer for $500.

3620
02:08:13,530 --> 02:08:16,330
And you get to pick where...

3621
02:08:16,330 --> 02:08:17,570
Secretary general of what?

3622
02:08:17,810 --> 02:08:20,350
And I suggested in the newsletter, Botswana.

3623
02:08:20,430 --> 02:08:22,290
You can be secretary general of the United

3624
02:08:22,290 --> 02:08:22,850
States.

3625
02:08:23,390 --> 02:08:25,990
You can be secretary general of Cincinnati.

3626
02:08:26,470 --> 02:08:27,230
But it doesn't matter.

3627
02:08:27,390 --> 02:08:28,110
How about the Hill Country?

3628
02:08:28,230 --> 02:08:29,650
Secretary general of the Hill Country.

3629
02:08:29,650 --> 02:08:31,970
You could be secretary general of the Hill

3630
02:08:31,970 --> 02:08:32,790
Country.

3631
02:08:33,510 --> 02:08:36,890
And it's just, it puts that title where

3632
02:08:36,890 --> 02:08:37,550
it belongs.

3633
02:08:37,830 --> 02:08:39,330
And now does this come with a certificate

3634
02:08:39,330 --> 02:08:40,050
of authenticity?

3635
02:08:40,290 --> 02:08:41,590
Oh, the certificate, yes.

3636
02:08:41,950 --> 02:08:44,430
Jay is trying to outdo herself.

3637
02:08:46,090 --> 02:08:47,750
So the certificates will probably go out at

3638
02:08:47,750 --> 02:08:50,150
the end of the month, because she now

3639
02:08:50,150 --> 02:08:51,630
wants to...

3640
02:08:51,630 --> 02:08:53,410
the thing, the design is going to be

3641
02:08:53,410 --> 02:08:55,510
slightly different than our other stuff.

3642
02:08:55,630 --> 02:08:57,770
It's always, everyone's been somewhat different.

3643
02:08:57,770 --> 02:08:59,910
But this is going to have a big,

3644
02:08:59,970 --> 02:09:03,030
a giant wax seal at the bottom.

3645
02:09:03,050 --> 02:09:03,950
Oh, nice.

3646
02:09:04,070 --> 02:09:08,610
That has the ITM signet ring thing, but

3647
02:09:08,610 --> 02:09:09,150
bigger.

3648
02:09:09,290 --> 02:09:11,570
She's ordered a giant version.

3649
02:09:12,130 --> 02:09:14,110
Did she order a giant ring to make

3650
02:09:14,110 --> 02:09:14,410
it?

3651
02:09:14,710 --> 02:09:16,110
No, it's just, it's a stamp.

3652
02:09:16,670 --> 02:09:17,190
Cool.

3653
02:09:19,010 --> 02:09:19,530
Stamp.

3654
02:09:19,670 --> 02:09:21,150
I had to get the art from Paul

3655
02:09:21,150 --> 02:09:24,470
Couture to her so she could get this

3656
02:09:24,470 --> 02:09:25,650
thing produced.

3657
02:09:25,650 --> 02:09:26,570
She found a guy.

3658
02:09:26,950 --> 02:09:28,130
First of all, I got into an argument.

3659
02:09:28,270 --> 02:09:29,430
No, I don't think it's not a good

3660
02:09:29,430 --> 02:09:29,670
idea.

3661
02:09:29,770 --> 02:09:31,070
For one thing, who's going to make these

3662
02:09:31,070 --> 02:09:31,470
things?

3663
02:09:31,770 --> 02:09:35,110
And every time we have a discussion with

3664
02:09:35,110 --> 02:09:37,290
her, where I tell her it can't be

3665
02:09:37,290 --> 02:09:41,170
done, within five minutes, she has to vendor.

3666
02:09:42,730 --> 02:09:44,090
I appreciate Jay for this.

3667
02:09:44,090 --> 02:09:44,850
She's on her phone.

3668
02:09:45,890 --> 02:09:46,870
Okay, can't be done.

3669
02:09:46,950 --> 02:09:47,230
Let me see.

3670
02:09:47,410 --> 02:09:49,310
I found a guy who will do it

3671
02:09:49,310 --> 02:09:49,810
for you.

3672
02:09:50,290 --> 02:09:51,630
Now, does she preface it?

3673
02:09:51,790 --> 02:09:53,190
Or does she end it with Boomer?

3674
02:09:53,610 --> 02:09:53,730
Does she?

3675
02:09:53,910 --> 02:09:55,170
Oh, I can get that done.

3676
02:09:55,630 --> 02:09:56,510
She knows better.

3677
02:09:56,830 --> 02:09:58,530
So yes, I'm looking at the troll room.

3678
02:09:58,770 --> 02:10:01,490
Secretary General of Boobs.

3679
02:10:01,630 --> 02:10:02,990
Yes, definitely a possibility.

3680
02:10:03,770 --> 02:10:05,210
Secretary General of Boobs.

3681
02:10:05,430 --> 02:10:06,950
That would be a gem.

3682
02:10:07,290 --> 02:10:09,190
Secretary General of Uranus.

3683
02:10:09,290 --> 02:10:11,430
Yes, all of these are completely valid.

3684
02:10:11,570 --> 02:10:11,910
They're all possibilities.

3685
02:10:12,550 --> 02:10:13,050
They're all valid.

3686
02:10:13,170 --> 02:10:13,610
All valid.

3687
02:10:13,650 --> 02:10:15,770
So Steve Miller came in from Aledo, Texas.

3688
02:10:16,030 --> 02:10:19,270
Steve loves us and he supported us with

3689
02:10:19,270 --> 02:10:25,070
$2,500, not stable coins, actual digital money.

3690
02:10:25,530 --> 02:10:26,710
And here's what he said.

3691
02:10:27,670 --> 02:10:30,490
We love your fantastic insights and commentary.

3692
02:10:31,210 --> 02:10:33,610
Is it possible there's still uncertainty whether your

3693
02:10:33,610 --> 02:10:35,930
three-by-three intro was or wasn't on

3694
02:10:35,930 --> 02:10:36,610
The Dating Game?

3695
02:10:36,910 --> 02:10:38,470
If so, season of reveal.

3696
02:10:38,650 --> 02:10:40,330
Herb Albert, Spanish for you on The Dating

3697
02:10:40,330 --> 02:10:40,550
Game.

3698
02:10:40,590 --> 02:10:42,190
Yes, we did deconstruct that.

3699
02:10:42,230 --> 02:10:43,150
You must have missed that.

3700
02:10:44,050 --> 02:10:45,450
Over the last couple of weeks on my

3701
02:10:45,450 --> 02:10:47,250
drive home from work, I found each of

3702
02:10:47,250 --> 02:10:49,030
you making me laugh out loud.

3703
02:10:49,490 --> 02:10:52,290
With the pathetic donation levels recently, I felt

3704
02:10:52,290 --> 02:10:53,930
like I might be running out of time

3705
02:10:53,930 --> 02:10:55,950
to make things right in our relationship.

3706
02:10:56,510 --> 02:10:57,730
Please de-douche me.

3707
02:10:59,470 --> 02:11:01,330
You've been de-douched.

3708
02:11:01,570 --> 02:11:03,970
And also please de-douche my son, Andrew,

3709
02:11:04,130 --> 02:11:05,530
who hit me in the mouth during COVID.

3710
02:11:07,090 --> 02:11:09,170
You've been de-douched.

3711
02:11:09,370 --> 02:11:12,390
And please split my donation to make us

3712
02:11:12,390 --> 02:11:15,090
both overdue and loyal instantites.

3713
02:11:15,350 --> 02:11:20,150
Names TBD, ITM, Steve Miller from Aledo, Texas.

3714
02:11:22,710 --> 02:11:24,870
Oh, so is he not on the list

3715
02:11:24,870 --> 02:11:26,450
because he's got a TBD there?

3716
02:11:27,390 --> 02:11:29,930
Well, he didn't mention Secretary General.

3717
02:11:30,110 --> 02:11:31,750
Let me just double check.

3718
02:11:35,480 --> 02:11:37,760
It says he came in at the right

3719
02:11:37,760 --> 02:11:38,100
time.

3720
02:11:38,180 --> 02:11:40,220
He can go pick one up later.

3721
02:11:40,980 --> 02:11:42,580
He's not on the list, so he can

3722
02:11:42,580 --> 02:11:43,580
definitely pick one up later.

3723
02:11:43,600 --> 02:11:45,040
OK, so he's got the name.

3724
02:11:45,120 --> 02:11:46,980
OK, we'll knight him when he feels like

3725
02:11:46,980 --> 02:11:47,080
it.

3726
02:11:47,200 --> 02:11:47,320
Yes.

3727
02:11:48,880 --> 02:11:50,180
Peter Fantino's up next.

3728
02:11:50,180 --> 02:11:53,480
He's in Eustis, Florida.

3729
02:11:53,780 --> 02:11:54,580
Eustis, huh?

3730
02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:55,320
Sounds right.

3731
02:11:55,800 --> 02:11:56,680
Came in with a thousand.

3732
02:11:57,440 --> 02:11:57,680
Whoa.

3733
02:11:57,980 --> 02:11:59,140
In the morning, boys.

3734
02:11:59,620 --> 02:12:00,600
First time donation.

3735
02:12:01,920 --> 02:12:03,960
I've been listening since the election and thought

3736
02:12:03,960 --> 02:12:05,700
it was time to pony up.

3737
02:12:07,260 --> 02:12:10,220
My name will be Sir Peter Jockey of

3738
02:12:10,220 --> 02:12:10,820
the Mountains.

3739
02:12:11,720 --> 02:12:13,840
Dinner is Beef Wellington.

3740
02:12:14,000 --> 02:12:15,380
He's just knighting himself.

3741
02:12:15,620 --> 02:12:15,780
Yes.

3742
02:12:15,780 --> 02:12:19,820
He wants Beef Wellington and a shaken dirty

3743
02:12:19,820 --> 02:12:20,460
martini.

3744
02:12:21,460 --> 02:12:22,780
Do you want olives with that?

3745
02:12:22,800 --> 02:12:24,180
So I got chewed out by one of

3746
02:12:24,180 --> 02:12:27,880
our famous, more famous executive producers.

3747
02:12:28,100 --> 02:12:30,560
Oh, executive or associate executive?

3748
02:12:31,020 --> 02:12:32,080
Yeah, that guy.

3749
02:12:32,200 --> 02:12:32,440
Yeah.

3750
02:12:34,800 --> 02:12:36,960
The most, one of our most famous.

3751
02:12:37,460 --> 02:12:40,920
And so he says that he was aghast.

3752
02:12:41,420 --> 02:12:43,200
And so was his wife, as a matter

3753
02:12:43,200 --> 02:12:43,580
of fact.

3754
02:12:43,640 --> 02:12:44,400
Oh, goodness.

3755
02:12:44,400 --> 02:12:46,560
I've never heard of an espresso martini.

3756
02:12:47,140 --> 02:12:48,440
And that was rather odd.

3757
02:12:49,760 --> 02:12:52,900
I don't understand why anyone, why would I

3758
02:12:52,900 --> 02:12:54,940
have heard of such a horrible drink?

3759
02:12:55,180 --> 02:12:56,780
Well, if you get out of the San

3760
02:12:56,780 --> 02:13:00,000
Francisco Bay Area where you have the drink

3761
02:13:00,000 --> 02:13:01,800
you have, I forget, can't even remember the

3762
02:13:01,800 --> 02:13:05,000
name of it, which is this coffee booze

3763
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:07,440
drink that we have in San Francisco.

3764
02:13:07,720 --> 02:13:09,800
Coffee booze, it's called the coffee booze drink.

3765
02:13:09,940 --> 02:13:10,780
The coffee booze drink.

3766
02:13:10,800 --> 02:13:12,860
Also known as an Irish coffee, maybe?

3767
02:13:12,860 --> 02:13:14,180
An Irish coffee.

3768
02:13:14,300 --> 02:13:16,100
This is invented at a place in San

3769
02:13:16,100 --> 02:13:16,500
Francisco.

3770
02:13:16,760 --> 02:13:17,760
You can go there and get them.

3771
02:13:19,760 --> 02:13:22,000
And so that's, to me, was, you know,

3772
02:13:22,080 --> 02:13:24,140
and then there's this espresso martini.

3773
02:13:24,520 --> 02:13:27,180
It's been around for a long time.

3774
02:13:27,860 --> 02:13:29,480
Ask the animal, though.

3775
02:13:29,540 --> 02:13:30,020
I'll ask Ara.

3776
02:13:30,120 --> 02:13:30,780
Hold on a second.

3777
02:13:31,000 --> 02:13:32,380
Ask her when it came out, when it

3778
02:13:32,380 --> 02:13:35,460
was invented and where it was popular.

3779
02:13:35,660 --> 02:13:36,960
The espresso martini.

3780
02:13:39,110 --> 02:13:40,490
Oh, the espresso martini.

3781
02:13:40,770 --> 02:13:41,990
It's such a fun drink.

3782
02:13:41,990 --> 02:13:45,730
Vodka, coffee liqueur, fresh espresso, and a touch

3783
02:13:45,730 --> 02:13:46,490
of simple syrup.

3784
02:13:46,990 --> 02:13:49,410
Shaken until frothy and served with those iconic

3785
02:13:49,410 --> 02:13:50,510
coffee beans on top.

3786
02:13:50,630 --> 02:13:51,030
Here it comes.

3787
02:13:52,870 --> 02:13:54,730
Ah, I interrupted her.

3788
02:13:56,470 --> 02:13:59,630
Fun fact, it was invented in the 1980s

3789
02:13:59,630 --> 02:14:01,850
in London by a bartender for a model

3790
02:14:01,850 --> 02:14:04,510
who wanted something to wake her up and

3791
02:14:04,510 --> 02:14:05,350
mess her up.

3792
02:14:06,350 --> 02:14:07,290
Fun fact.

3793
02:14:08,010 --> 02:14:09,110
Fun fact.

3794
02:14:10,310 --> 02:14:11,850
You haven't been out of the house since

3795
02:14:11,850 --> 02:14:12,370
the 80s.

3796
02:14:12,410 --> 02:14:13,330
It makes total sense.

3797
02:14:17,550 --> 02:14:18,010
Onward.

3798
02:14:18,870 --> 02:14:19,330
Onward.

3799
02:14:20,470 --> 02:14:21,390
Skylar Firestone.

3800
02:14:21,670 --> 02:14:24,050
Ah, that sounds like a DJ name.

3801
02:14:24,230 --> 02:14:26,050
Skylar Firestone in the morning with everybody.

3802
02:14:26,450 --> 02:14:26,910
Z100.

3803
02:14:27,050 --> 02:14:28,290
That's in Texas, Liberty Hill.

3804
02:14:29,990 --> 02:14:30,450
51538.

3805
02:14:30,710 --> 02:14:32,370
I see no note from Skylar.

3806
02:14:32,830 --> 02:14:33,550
So I see nothing.

3807
02:14:33,770 --> 02:14:35,610
So Skylar will get a double up karma.

3808
02:14:36,170 --> 02:14:39,510
You've got karma.

3809
02:14:42,410 --> 02:14:43,490
You can do the next one because I

3810
02:14:43,490 --> 02:14:45,030
have a note for the one after that.

3811
02:14:45,090 --> 02:14:49,070
Yes, Sir Ahab from Mandeville, Louisiana, 500.

3812
02:14:49,290 --> 02:14:50,350
And he's in on the program.

3813
02:14:50,510 --> 02:14:52,050
Hey, guys, it's Sir Ahab, Knight of the

3814
02:14:52,050 --> 02:14:52,630
Seven Seas.

3815
02:14:52,770 --> 02:14:53,630
It's been a spell.

3816
02:14:54,410 --> 02:14:56,390
I'd like to be Secretary General of the

3817
02:14:56,390 --> 02:14:57,270
Pacific Fleet.

3818
02:14:58,110 --> 02:14:59,310
Thanks for all you do.

3819
02:15:00,510 --> 02:15:01,250
That's a good one.

3820
02:15:03,070 --> 02:15:03,650
All right.

3821
02:15:05,430 --> 02:15:06,670
We're going to have to figure out some

3822
02:15:06,670 --> 02:15:08,390
way to announce these things properly.

3823
02:15:08,570 --> 02:15:10,430
We do have the people mentioned, but we

3824
02:15:10,430 --> 02:15:11,990
probably don't have their titles.

3825
02:15:12,450 --> 02:15:14,530
That's going to, I'm not sure how to

3826
02:15:14,530 --> 02:15:14,830
do that.

3827
02:15:14,930 --> 02:15:17,150
But we have, now we have Justine Palmer

3828
02:15:17,150 --> 02:15:18,470
in Bozeman, Montana.

3829
02:15:18,630 --> 02:15:20,110
It came with 33343.

3830
02:15:21,470 --> 02:15:24,670
And this is interesting because I first put

3831
02:15:24,670 --> 02:15:25,410
her name down.

3832
02:15:25,510 --> 02:15:27,030
This is, I have the note and I

3833
02:15:27,030 --> 02:15:28,610
sent it over to Jay.

3834
02:15:29,170 --> 02:15:31,930
I first thought it was Justin.

3835
02:15:32,430 --> 02:15:35,130
And then I went back and looked and

3836
02:15:35,130 --> 02:15:36,690
I said, wait a minute.

3837
02:15:36,830 --> 02:15:40,090
This is not a signature or handwriting of

3838
02:15:40,090 --> 02:15:41,410
any known male.

3839
02:15:42,910 --> 02:15:45,870
And I look, oh, Justine, that makes sense.

3840
02:15:46,150 --> 02:15:46,290
Wow.

3841
02:15:46,650 --> 02:15:47,890
You're such a sleuth.

3842
02:15:48,750 --> 02:15:50,830
Well, the thing is, it brought me to

3843
02:15:50,830 --> 02:15:57,050
this idea that women are more into precision

3844
02:15:57,050 --> 02:15:59,310
than men.

3845
02:16:01,680 --> 02:16:02,160
Okay.

3846
02:16:02,760 --> 02:16:05,040
I just, I'm trying to develop this into

3847
02:16:05,040 --> 02:16:06,840
some sort of thinking, because during World War

3848
02:16:06,840 --> 02:16:10,820
II, when the men were all fighting, the

3849
02:16:10,820 --> 02:16:13,220
factories of the United States were all people

3850
02:16:13,220 --> 02:16:14,380
by women, a lot of them.

3851
02:16:14,720 --> 02:16:17,380
And a lot of them became precision engineers

3852
02:16:17,380 --> 02:16:20,720
and precision mechanics and all this sort of

3853
02:16:20,720 --> 02:16:21,000
thing.

3854
02:16:21,420 --> 02:16:23,220
And it just fascinates me now that I

3855
02:16:23,220 --> 02:16:26,720
start to think about it, because the women

3856
02:16:26,720 --> 02:16:30,480
are not credited with this capability.

3857
02:16:31,700 --> 02:16:32,400
I don't know.

3858
02:16:32,480 --> 02:16:33,320
I found it interesting.

3859
02:16:34,100 --> 02:16:36,240
And the note triggered this, but here's her

3860
02:16:36,240 --> 02:16:36,480
note.

3861
02:16:37,040 --> 02:16:37,719
Donation note.

3862
02:16:37,719 --> 02:16:39,559
Thank you for the best podcast in the

3863
02:16:39,559 --> 02:16:39,959
universe.

3864
02:16:40,299 --> 02:16:41,620
And then she's got a birthday shout out

3865
02:16:41,620 --> 02:16:45,440
for Chris Illuminati, Jensen.

3866
02:16:45,700 --> 02:16:46,700
Separate explanation.

3867
02:16:46,900 --> 02:16:48,040
No need to read, but I'm going to

3868
02:16:48,040 --> 02:16:50,500
read it anyway, because it's about football.

3869
02:16:51,160 --> 02:16:53,260
Previously had mentioned you did not receive any

3870
02:16:53,260 --> 02:16:56,900
clothing commemorating the most recent college football championship

3871
02:16:56,900 --> 02:17:00,280
winners from the FBS or FCS, D2, et

3872
02:17:00,280 --> 02:17:00,780
cetera.

3873
02:17:01,219 --> 02:17:02,500
She knows what all that means.

3874
02:17:02,500 --> 02:17:06,580
Although you have now received Ohio State representation

3875
02:17:06,580 --> 02:17:08,959
and people promised Florida, I never got anything.

3876
02:17:09,680 --> 02:17:13,719
I even closed some Montana State University Bobcats

3877
02:17:13,719 --> 02:17:14,320
apparel.

3878
02:17:15,420 --> 02:17:17,459
Which is a nice piece, by the way.

3879
02:17:18,059 --> 02:17:20,820
After a 15 and 0 season, unfortunately, the

3880
02:17:20,820 --> 02:17:24,400
Bobcats fell short of the 2024 FCS National

3881
02:17:24,400 --> 02:17:27,139
Championship game, but I couldn't pass on the

3882
02:17:27,139 --> 02:17:31,660
opportunity to send some D1 AAA FCS love

3883
02:17:31,660 --> 02:17:32,639
your direction.

3884
02:17:33,879 --> 02:17:34,760
There you go.

3885
02:17:35,040 --> 02:17:35,360
Nice.

3886
02:17:36,459 --> 02:17:39,360
By the way, I concur on precision.

3887
02:17:39,639 --> 02:17:43,200
I know many female pilots, helicopter pilots, especially

3888
02:17:43,200 --> 02:17:44,680
who are extremely good.

3889
02:17:44,780 --> 02:17:45,959
And that's precision work.

3890
02:17:47,200 --> 02:17:47,620
In fact, all.

3891
02:17:47,620 --> 02:17:49,059
Yeah, I just think it's there.

3892
02:17:49,139 --> 02:17:51,559
I think it just dawned on me looking

3893
02:17:51,559 --> 02:17:54,860
at her handwriting that it was, it's an

3894
02:17:54,860 --> 02:17:57,719
underrated characteristic of women in general.

3895
02:17:58,219 --> 02:17:58,700
Underrated.

3896
02:17:59,020 --> 02:17:59,480
That's right.

3897
02:17:59,480 --> 02:18:00,360
Is Mimi still there?

3898
02:18:00,480 --> 02:18:02,680
Can you, can you compliment her on her

3899
02:18:02,680 --> 02:18:03,120
precision?

3900
02:18:03,440 --> 02:18:05,059
No, she crashed a car into a tree.

3901
02:18:05,299 --> 02:18:07,280
No, I'm kidding.

3902
02:18:09,100 --> 02:18:10,200
Are you though?

3903
02:18:13,379 --> 02:18:15,100
She's an L.A. She's a good driver.

3904
02:18:15,780 --> 02:18:17,020
She's an excellent driver.

3905
02:18:17,059 --> 02:18:19,100
Maybe that's the reason that we mock female

3906
02:18:19,100 --> 02:18:20,139
drivers because.

3907
02:18:20,660 --> 02:18:21,799
Because they're so good.

3908
02:18:21,959 --> 02:18:22,400
Because they're so good.

3909
02:18:23,400 --> 02:18:27,459
Because they're a little too precise for a

3910
02:18:27,459 --> 02:18:28,139
male's taste.

3911
02:18:28,700 --> 02:18:29,200
Cut in here.

3912
02:18:29,200 --> 02:18:32,540
No, not cutting in there.

3913
02:18:32,719 --> 02:18:33,100
Come on.

3914
02:18:33,139 --> 02:18:33,620
Cut in.

3915
02:18:33,780 --> 02:18:35,180
There's a ton of raw.

3916
02:18:35,360 --> 02:18:36,200
You blew it.

3917
02:18:38,360 --> 02:18:41,959
Justin Proulx, Proulx, P-R-O-L-X,

3918
02:18:42,059 --> 02:18:43,520
P-R-U-L-X, Proulx.

3919
02:18:43,700 --> 02:18:45,240
I think it's Proulx or something.

3920
02:18:45,400 --> 02:18:45,980
Proulx might be Proulx.

3921
02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:47,580
It's a funny way of pronouncing that.

3922
02:18:47,620 --> 02:18:48,160
I don't have it.

3923
02:18:48,240 --> 02:18:49,500
Well, he's right up the road about an

3924
02:18:49,500 --> 02:18:49,600
hour.

3925
02:18:49,719 --> 02:18:53,080
Canyon Lake, Texas, 333.33. ITM gents, thanks

3926
02:18:53,080 --> 02:18:55,820
for keeping us grounded with amazing M5M analysis

3927
02:18:55,820 --> 02:18:56,620
every week.

3928
02:18:56,620 --> 02:18:58,639
It was time to donate when I received

3929
02:18:58,639 --> 02:19:01,160
my new Delta Reserve Amex.

3930
02:19:01,520 --> 02:19:05,059
Made with 33% metal from a retired

3931
02:19:05,059 --> 02:19:06,459
Boeing 747.

3932
02:19:07,860 --> 02:19:09,520
Well, that sounds like a cool product.

3933
02:19:10,080 --> 02:19:10,959
Yeah, I'd say.

3934
02:19:11,040 --> 02:19:11,820
Take a look at this.

3935
02:19:12,160 --> 02:19:14,860
Unless it's blue, that's kind of lame.

3936
02:19:14,940 --> 02:19:15,280
Let me see.

3937
02:19:16,540 --> 02:19:18,799
Delta Reserve Amex.

3938
02:19:19,379 --> 02:19:20,240
Let me see what it looks like.

3939
02:19:21,240 --> 02:19:22,680
While you're doing that, why don't you give

3940
02:19:22,680 --> 02:19:24,160
him some health karma for the wife.

3941
02:19:24,219 --> 02:19:25,520
Yeah, she has a broken back.

3942
02:19:25,520 --> 02:19:26,860
She has a broken back, definitely.

3943
02:19:27,400 --> 02:19:27,920
Here we go.

3944
02:19:28,400 --> 02:19:31,700
You've got karma.

3945
02:19:32,299 --> 02:19:33,299
It's purple.

3946
02:19:34,160 --> 02:19:35,280
It's purple.

3947
02:19:36,100 --> 02:19:36,520
Purple?

3948
02:19:36,799 --> 02:19:37,700
Yeah, it's purple.

3949
02:19:40,600 --> 02:19:40,700
Okay.

3950
02:19:40,840 --> 02:19:43,320
Up next is Baz, B-A-Z-Z,

3951
02:19:43,420 --> 02:19:44,940
with a capital Z, the first one.

3952
02:19:45,080 --> 02:19:45,740
Anyway, 333.

3953
02:19:46,320 --> 02:19:47,960
Baz from sunny Singapore.

3954
02:19:48,240 --> 02:19:49,320
Woo, look at that.

3955
02:19:49,460 --> 02:19:49,900
Nice.

3956
02:19:50,640 --> 02:19:50,940
Yeah.

3957
02:19:51,500 --> 02:19:52,560
All right, Baz.

3958
02:19:52,580 --> 02:19:54,720
We need more Singaporeans listening to the show.

3959
02:19:54,800 --> 02:19:55,980
They can all speak English.

3960
02:19:55,980 --> 02:19:58,420
That's actually on Tina's bucket list, Singapore.

3961
02:19:58,600 --> 02:20:00,180
She really wants to visit Singapore.

3962
02:20:00,680 --> 02:20:01,840
Oh, I've been there.

3963
02:20:02,140 --> 02:20:02,440
Yes.

3964
02:20:02,920 --> 02:20:05,080
And I would recommend it as a great

3965
02:20:05,080 --> 02:20:06,080
place for a vacation.

3966
02:20:06,340 --> 02:20:08,580
It's extremely safe, super clean.

3967
02:20:09,500 --> 02:20:10,580
It's a fascist state.

3968
02:20:10,620 --> 02:20:11,380
You have to know that.

3969
02:20:11,800 --> 02:20:13,420
You can't spit gum out.

3970
02:20:14,080 --> 02:20:15,240
You can't chew gum.

3971
02:20:15,400 --> 02:20:17,540
You can, I mean, you can, but you

3972
02:20:17,540 --> 02:20:18,540
really can't.

3973
02:20:18,600 --> 02:20:19,540
You have to bit or swallow it.

3974
02:20:21,640 --> 02:20:24,920
But it's got great food, terrific food.

3975
02:20:24,920 --> 02:20:28,760
It's pretty and great markets.

3976
02:20:29,120 --> 02:20:32,520
I would highly recommend Singapore as a vacation

3977
02:20:32,520 --> 02:20:33,440
retreat.

3978
02:20:33,800 --> 02:20:37,420
Is there any, can we get any garments

3979
02:20:37,420 --> 02:20:37,840
there?

3980
02:20:38,780 --> 02:20:39,340
Custom-made garments?

3981
02:20:39,340 --> 02:20:41,340
You know, I never bought any clothes there.

3982
02:20:41,580 --> 02:20:44,080
I don't think it's on the same league

3983
02:20:44,080 --> 02:20:45,560
as Korea or Taiwan.

3984
02:20:46,220 --> 02:20:52,780
Zadock Brown III in Pukalani, Hawaii, 315.85.

3985
02:20:52,780 --> 02:20:54,440
And he says, in the morning, gents.

3986
02:20:54,540 --> 02:20:56,060
And we say in the morning to you,

3987
02:20:56,140 --> 02:20:57,100
Zadock Brown III.

3988
02:20:57,320 --> 02:20:57,880
Thank you.

3989
02:21:00,120 --> 02:21:03,580
Anonymous in Deckerville, Michigan.

3990
02:21:04,560 --> 02:21:08,860
He becomes associate executive producer 26767.

3991
02:21:09,080 --> 02:21:12,440
Anonymous, ITM, Trump only jobs.

3992
02:21:12,620 --> 02:21:13,340
Karma, please.

3993
02:21:13,500 --> 02:21:15,180
Needed for promotion.

3994
02:21:15,540 --> 02:21:16,360
God to bless.

3995
02:21:17,040 --> 02:21:19,720
Jobs, jobs, jobs.

3996
02:21:20,620 --> 02:21:22,200
You've got karma.

3997
02:21:24,200 --> 02:21:26,540
And we're on to our next associate executive

3998
02:21:26,540 --> 02:21:28,700
producer, Kurt Kiefer from Austin, Texas.

3999
02:21:28,900 --> 02:21:31,100
The Texans are really supporting the show lately.

4000
02:21:32,300 --> 02:21:32,780
26322.

4001
02:21:33,980 --> 02:21:37,900
And he says, Kurt Kiefer of Austin, Texas.

4002
02:21:38,100 --> 02:21:39,900
Commodore of smooth Texas highways.

4003
02:21:40,200 --> 02:21:43,360
Gents, my smoking hot, brilliant, free-thinking wife,

4004
02:21:43,480 --> 02:21:43,700
Beth.

4005
02:21:43,720 --> 02:21:45,060
And I love you guys.

4006
02:21:45,740 --> 02:21:47,300
We listen to the show live while we're

4007
02:21:47,300 --> 02:21:48,340
cooking dinner together.

4008
02:21:48,780 --> 02:21:49,760
It's a fun activity.

4009
02:21:49,760 --> 02:21:50,780
Highly recommended.

4010
02:21:50,960 --> 02:21:53,380
Even for those cheap-ass couples who don't

4011
02:21:53,380 --> 02:21:54,560
donate to the show.

4012
02:21:54,960 --> 02:21:55,600
Get a clue.

4013
02:21:56,000 --> 02:21:56,500
Donate.

4014
02:21:57,040 --> 02:21:59,400
Anyway, this donation makes me a knight.

4015
02:21:59,780 --> 02:22:01,780
I'm making it on the day before Beth

4016
02:22:01,780 --> 02:22:04,440
and I embark on a safari to Tanzania.

4017
02:22:05,280 --> 02:22:07,400
Beth suggested that I get my knight donation

4018
02:22:07,400 --> 02:22:09,720
in before leaving, as she thinks the title

4019
02:22:09,720 --> 02:22:12,780
would look cool on my urn, should it

4020
02:22:12,780 --> 02:22:19,740
be trampled by an elephant.

4021
02:22:19,760 --> 02:22:22,160
Or mauled by other big game on our

4022
02:22:22,160 --> 02:22:22,420
trip.

4023
02:22:22,580 --> 02:22:23,620
Yes, I concur.

4024
02:22:24,520 --> 02:22:26,580
How about dubbing me Knight Kurt of the

4025
02:22:26,580 --> 02:22:27,760
Nongorongoro...

4026
02:22:28,960 --> 02:22:29,480
Nongorongoro...

4027
02:22:29,480 --> 02:22:29,660
No.

4028
02:22:30,420 --> 02:22:30,940
Nongorongoro.

4029
02:22:31,120 --> 02:22:31,300
Yes.

4030
02:22:31,860 --> 02:22:33,860
Knight Kurt of the Nongorongoro crater.

4031
02:22:34,360 --> 02:22:36,540
If that doesn't roll off the tongue, perhaps

4032
02:22:36,540 --> 02:22:38,740
Knight Kurt of the Serengeti.

4033
02:22:38,940 --> 02:22:39,580
You guys pick.

4034
02:22:39,660 --> 02:22:42,140
I like the Nongorongoro because it'd be fun

4035
02:22:42,140 --> 02:22:42,720
for me to try.

4036
02:22:43,280 --> 02:22:44,900
Let's keep it simple for the roundtable.

4037
02:22:45,100 --> 02:22:46,160
Zebra schnitzel.

4038
02:22:46,580 --> 02:22:47,560
Hippo hot links.

4039
02:22:47,980 --> 02:22:49,060
A pilsner or two.

4040
02:22:49,060 --> 02:22:49,920
And just one.

4041
02:22:49,980 --> 02:22:50,700
Just one.

4042
02:22:51,040 --> 02:22:52,600
Camel filter cigarette.

4043
02:22:53,240 --> 02:22:57,000
Love you guys, the producers, and boobs, says

4044
02:22:57,000 --> 02:22:57,320
Kurt.

4045
02:22:57,700 --> 02:22:58,480
Great note, Kurt.

4046
02:22:58,880 --> 02:22:59,360
Thank you.

4047
02:23:00,000 --> 02:23:00,820
Camel made...

4048
02:23:02,160 --> 02:23:02,760
Filtered?

4049
02:23:03,060 --> 02:23:03,360
Yeah.

4050
02:23:03,760 --> 02:23:04,420
They're kind of...

4051
02:23:04,420 --> 02:23:05,460
They taste icky.

4052
02:23:05,740 --> 02:23:06,480
What I remember.

4053
02:23:07,500 --> 02:23:08,780
Tastes a bit like a palm oil.

4054
02:23:11,500 --> 02:23:12,700
James Green.

4055
02:23:13,520 --> 02:23:14,160
He's in...

4056
02:23:15,540 --> 02:23:16,080
Bethland.

4057
02:23:16,520 --> 02:23:17,880
Bethland, North Carolina.

4058
02:23:18,020 --> 02:23:18,600
Bethland.

4059
02:23:19,540 --> 02:23:20,580
F-land.

4060
02:23:20,680 --> 02:23:21,880
F-U-F-land.

4061
02:23:22,400 --> 02:23:23,360
North Carolina.

4062
02:23:23,880 --> 02:23:27,760
$233.99. Adam and John say, I'm a

4063
02:23:27,760 --> 02:23:30,460
plumber with 25 mass communications...

4064
02:23:30,460 --> 02:23:32,860
With 25 mass communication degree.

4065
02:23:33,520 --> 02:23:34,240
Go figure.

4066
02:23:34,780 --> 02:23:36,720
Dirty work for a living and I love

4067
02:23:36,720 --> 02:23:36,880
it.

4068
02:23:37,300 --> 02:23:38,260
Thanks for supporting...

4069
02:23:39,460 --> 02:23:41,740
Thanks for reporting on the reporters.

4070
02:23:41,940 --> 02:23:43,180
Thanks for reporting on the reporters.

4071
02:23:43,180 --> 02:23:48,800
Does anyone hear Dr. Huckabee in NPR's Alicia

4072
02:23:48,800 --> 02:23:49,740
Roscoe?

4073
02:23:50,760 --> 02:23:51,560
Dr. Huckabee.

4074
02:23:51,740 --> 02:23:52,760
Yeah, the mom.

4075
02:23:53,200 --> 02:23:53,340
Huckstabee.

4076
02:23:53,340 --> 02:23:53,620
Huckstabee.

4077
02:23:53,660 --> 02:23:54,400
Oh, Huckstabee.

4078
02:23:54,500 --> 02:23:55,400
Huckstabee, not Huckabee.

4079
02:23:55,580 --> 02:23:56,060
Oh, she's...

4080
02:23:56,060 --> 02:23:56,440
Oh, yes.

4081
02:23:56,640 --> 02:23:58,740
Huckstabee, the Bill Cosby character.

4082
02:23:58,940 --> 02:23:59,200
His wife.

4083
02:23:59,260 --> 02:24:00,720
In the way Alicia talks.

4084
02:24:00,940 --> 02:24:01,700
Dr. Huckstable.

4085
02:24:01,740 --> 02:24:01,860
Yes.

4086
02:24:02,060 --> 02:24:03,160
No, Dr. Huckstable.

4087
02:24:03,360 --> 02:24:04,800
Wasn't that the wife?

4088
02:24:05,480 --> 02:24:06,600
No, no, Dr. Huckstable.

4089
02:24:06,820 --> 02:24:08,300
That was Cosby, wasn't it?

4090
02:24:08,340 --> 02:24:08,560
Yeah.

4091
02:24:08,660 --> 02:24:10,260
I thought his wife was the doctor.

4092
02:24:10,560 --> 02:24:11,400
Oh, okay.

4093
02:24:11,420 --> 02:24:12,000
Well, I don't know.

4094
02:24:12,120 --> 02:24:12,740
I don't know.

4095
02:24:12,740 --> 02:24:13,280
What do we know?

4096
02:24:14,660 --> 02:24:16,480
Somebody there does know.

4097
02:24:17,900 --> 02:24:19,400
But yeah, there's a sound.

4098
02:24:19,700 --> 02:24:21,500
Alicia Roscoe has...

4099
02:24:22,700 --> 02:24:25,120
I think she just doesn't sound like a

4100
02:24:25,120 --> 02:24:26,000
professional broadcaster.

4101
02:24:26,320 --> 02:24:27,140
Aisha or is it Aisha?

4102
02:24:28,660 --> 02:24:29,220
Aisha.

4103
02:24:29,540 --> 02:24:29,960
Aisha.

4104
02:24:30,220 --> 02:24:30,520
Aisha.

4105
02:24:31,560 --> 02:24:32,280
Yeah, Aisha.

4106
02:24:32,460 --> 02:24:33,060
Okay, Aisha.

4107
02:24:33,560 --> 02:24:36,180
Anyway, suffer and succotash, go Florida ounces.

4108
02:24:36,460 --> 02:24:37,900
Suffer and succotash.

4109
02:24:38,020 --> 02:24:38,580
I'm Scott.

4110
02:24:43,040 --> 02:24:43,600
Simon.

4111
02:24:43,600 --> 02:24:45,880
Sam Trudell is in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

4112
02:24:46,760 --> 02:24:48,140
218.92 ITM.

4113
02:24:48,240 --> 02:24:50,160
He says, I just realized my 33rd birthday

4114
02:24:50,160 --> 02:24:51,080
is on a show day.

4115
02:24:51,440 --> 02:24:52,240
Time to donate.

4116
02:24:52,960 --> 02:24:55,640
Thanks to Adam W in Milwaukee for hitting

4117
02:24:55,640 --> 02:24:56,220
me in the mouth.

4118
02:24:56,340 --> 02:24:57,160
Please deduce.

4119
02:24:58,920 --> 02:25:00,520
You've been deduced.

4120
02:25:01,000 --> 02:25:02,620
And I didn't realize he asked this.

4121
02:25:02,660 --> 02:25:04,940
He says, I request a Sharpton hubris.

4122
02:25:05,760 --> 02:25:07,100
And that's from Sam Trudell.

4123
02:25:07,240 --> 02:25:09,260
I don't, you know, it's part of one

4124
02:25:09,260 --> 02:25:10,020
of these medleys.

4125
02:25:10,100 --> 02:25:11,160
So I hope I got it.

4126
02:25:11,200 --> 02:25:11,520
Let me see.

4127
02:25:11,520 --> 02:25:15,560
Tonight is the measure of whether the country

4128
02:25:15,560 --> 02:25:19,460
begins in the state of Wisconsin, a national

4129
02:25:19,460 --> 02:25:23,140
drive to push back or whether we have

4130
02:25:23,140 --> 02:25:26,140
more to go to build a movement of

4131
02:25:26,140 --> 02:25:26,720
resistance.

4132
02:25:27,000 --> 02:25:28,220
No, that's resist we much.

4133
02:25:28,320 --> 02:25:32,580
I don't remember what, where hubris is.

4134
02:25:32,980 --> 02:25:33,580
Hubris.

4135
02:25:34,500 --> 02:25:35,220
Let me see.

4136
02:25:37,740 --> 02:25:39,500
I like the guy did this.

4137
02:25:39,500 --> 02:25:40,480
Let me just try.

4138
02:25:40,740 --> 02:25:41,600
Let me try this.

4139
02:25:41,680 --> 02:25:42,340
Maybe this one.

4140
02:25:42,840 --> 02:25:45,140
Thanks to you, Ed.

4141
02:25:45,360 --> 02:25:47,740
Is this crown hog day two?

4142
02:25:48,060 --> 02:25:48,920
We are watching.

4143
02:25:49,400 --> 02:25:54,040
That was Attorney General Eric Holder's ABDs about

4144
02:25:54,040 --> 02:25:59,520
some Republicans at home are already beating the

4145
02:25:59,520 --> 02:26:00,340
drums of war.

4146
02:26:00,460 --> 02:26:03,240
Today, the Pentagon refuted that claim.

4147
02:26:03,480 --> 02:26:06,060
And he said the American people do not

4148
02:26:06,060 --> 02:26:08,640
want him to quote dwindling.

4149
02:26:08,940 --> 02:26:11,540
They do not want him dwindling his thoughts.

4150
02:26:11,920 --> 02:26:13,720
You can get a gig as a court

4151
02:26:13,720 --> 02:26:19,180
contortionist, intravenous fluids and pills coated with gelatin.

4152
02:26:20,220 --> 02:26:22,400
OK, I don't I don't know which one

4153
02:26:22,400 --> 02:26:22,640
it is.

4154
02:26:22,660 --> 02:26:23,660
I have to look that one up.

4155
02:26:23,660 --> 02:26:23,920
Sorry.

4156
02:26:24,140 --> 02:26:25,020
But thank you very much.

4157
02:26:26,100 --> 02:26:28,580
Eli, the coffee guy to 0821.

4158
02:26:28,900 --> 02:26:29,580
There he is.

4159
02:26:30,680 --> 02:26:31,880
Nomadic coffee, by the way.

4160
02:26:32,840 --> 02:26:36,300
It's interesting how recent diplomatic efforts by America

4161
02:26:37,030 --> 02:26:41,080
to broker peace have gone unnoticed by the

4162
02:26:41,080 --> 02:26:41,980
M5M.

4163
02:26:43,420 --> 02:26:44,600
It's not that interesting.

4164
02:26:44,800 --> 02:26:47,700
It's it's what you expect, whether as sure

4165
02:26:47,700 --> 02:26:51,600
by John and Armenia to Cambodia and Thailand.

4166
02:26:51,780 --> 02:26:52,620
Did you see?

4167
02:26:52,700 --> 02:26:54,200
But the one thing that wasn't reported, you

4168
02:26:54,200 --> 02:26:58,880
see the 5000 Cambodian Buddhist monks.

4169
02:26:59,200 --> 02:27:00,240
Have you seen this?

4170
02:27:00,600 --> 02:27:00,900
No.

4171
02:27:01,720 --> 02:27:01,940
Yeah.

4172
02:27:01,940 --> 02:27:04,720
A bunch of candidates, like 5000 of them

4173
02:27:04,720 --> 02:27:07,380
or more came out in a giant group.

4174
02:27:07,480 --> 02:27:09,240
They took a picture of it, say we

4175
02:27:09,240 --> 02:27:14,340
we nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

4176
02:27:14,580 --> 02:27:17,180
The really Cambodian Buddhist monks.

4177
02:27:17,740 --> 02:27:17,980
Yeah.

4178
02:27:18,400 --> 02:27:19,880
5000 of them.

4179
02:27:19,960 --> 02:27:20,300
Wow.

4180
02:27:21,100 --> 02:27:22,920
And nobody covered it.

4181
02:27:23,540 --> 02:27:25,440
Look that up while you're reading this note.

4182
02:27:25,640 --> 02:27:26,940
Fox, I think, covered it.

4183
02:27:27,040 --> 02:27:27,680
Well, the.

4184
02:27:29,140 --> 02:27:34,660
Yeah, look up monks, Cambodian monks, promote Trump

4185
02:27:34,660 --> 02:27:37,320
for Nobel and you'll probably find it.

4186
02:27:37,340 --> 02:27:39,920
Or maybe your buddy there in the office.

4187
02:27:40,340 --> 02:27:41,380
I'm tired of her.

4188
02:27:41,820 --> 02:27:42,420
She'll know.

4189
02:27:45,340 --> 02:27:49,420
Anyway, Cambodia, Pakistan, Thailand or India, Pakistan, this

4190
02:27:49,420 --> 02:27:51,020
cynic in me questions.

4191
02:27:51,420 --> 02:27:54,780
Were these brief flare ups of conflict manufactured

4192
02:27:54,780 --> 02:27:57,120
with the purpose of allowing for a U

4193
02:27:57,120 --> 02:27:58,320
.S. brokered resolution?

4194
02:27:58,840 --> 02:27:59,500
Seems unlikely.

4195
02:27:59,600 --> 02:28:00,640
We don't have that much power.

4196
02:28:01,120 --> 02:28:04,020
Or is Trump trying to make peace profitable

4197
02:28:04,020 --> 02:28:04,540
again?

4198
02:28:05,400 --> 02:28:06,780
That seems likely.

4199
02:28:06,980 --> 02:28:07,740
That would be nice.

4200
02:28:08,380 --> 02:28:09,860
One thing is certain.

4201
02:28:10,340 --> 02:28:13,060
Tariffs are increasing the price of coffee imports.

4202
02:28:13,480 --> 02:28:15,700
But a gigawatt coffee roasters dot com.

4203
02:28:15,880 --> 02:28:17,880
We are dedicated to great coffee at a

4204
02:28:17,880 --> 02:28:18,420
great price.

4205
02:28:18,500 --> 02:28:21,760
And remember to use code ITM20 for 20

4206
02:28:21,760 --> 02:28:22,860
% off your first order.

4207
02:28:22,940 --> 02:28:23,580
Stay caffeinated.

4208
02:28:23,680 --> 02:28:24,940
Eli the coffee guy.

4209
02:28:25,000 --> 02:28:26,160
Well, you were wrong.

4210
02:28:26,160 --> 02:28:26,980
Wrong again.

4211
02:28:27,260 --> 02:28:29,000
It was not 5,000 monks.

4212
02:28:30,060 --> 02:28:33,160
It was 70,000 monks.

4213
02:28:33,920 --> 02:28:37,180
70,000 monks just broke their vows of

4214
02:28:37,180 --> 02:28:39,480
silence to nominate Trump for the Nobel.

4215
02:28:41,000 --> 02:28:44,900
Dear Mr. President Trump, we are standing here

4216
02:28:44,900 --> 02:28:48,280
today with hearts full of appreciation.

4217
02:28:48,280 --> 02:28:54,760
Today, 70,000 Cambodian Buddhist monks are wholeheartedly

4218
02:28:54,760 --> 02:29:00,700
supportive of our Cambodian Prime Minister to nominate

4219
02:29:00,700 --> 02:29:02,500
you for the Nobel Peace Prize.

4220
02:29:02,700 --> 02:29:05,840
Please accept, Mr. President.

4221
02:29:06,460 --> 02:29:08,360
70,000 monks can't be wrong.

4222
02:29:10,060 --> 02:29:12,780
So you got 70,000 monks.

4223
02:29:12,880 --> 02:29:15,180
Well, there weren't 70,000 there.

4224
02:29:15,520 --> 02:29:17,160
But no, but there was a lot there.

4225
02:29:17,160 --> 02:29:18,520
It was a lot of monks.

4226
02:29:19,040 --> 02:29:19,640
A lot of monks.

4227
02:29:19,760 --> 02:29:20,720
They're all dressed in red.

4228
02:29:21,240 --> 02:29:23,100
And this got no coverage.

4229
02:29:23,840 --> 02:29:24,100
What?

4230
02:29:24,880 --> 02:29:25,320
Orange.

4231
02:29:25,420 --> 02:29:25,940
Oh, is it orange?

4232
02:29:26,100 --> 02:29:27,420
I don't remember.

4233
02:29:27,480 --> 02:29:28,760
They might have been Hare Krishnas.

4234
02:29:29,000 --> 02:29:29,840
I don't know, man.

4235
02:29:30,020 --> 02:29:31,380
Whatever the case, they're all bald.

4236
02:29:31,580 --> 02:29:32,740
Yeah, they were bald for sure.

4237
02:29:33,040 --> 02:29:37,420
And it was weird enough as news and

4238
02:29:37,420 --> 02:29:39,980
just a visual was screwball enough.

4239
02:29:39,980 --> 02:29:41,060
Good visual, definitely.

4240
02:29:41,240 --> 02:29:43,860
You'd think somebody in the mainstream media in

4241
02:29:43,860 --> 02:29:45,920
New York, anybody would have taken a picture

4242
02:29:45,920 --> 02:29:47,040
and run it in their paper.

4243
02:29:47,200 --> 02:29:51,720
No, nobody except Jesse Waters even mentioned it.

4244
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:52,100
Yeah.

4245
02:29:52,900 --> 02:29:53,940
That's pathetic.

4246
02:29:55,660 --> 02:29:56,180
Certificate.

4247
02:29:56,320 --> 02:29:58,260
We've got a couple more associate executive producers

4248
02:29:58,260 --> 02:29:58,520
here.

4249
02:29:58,880 --> 02:30:01,320
Certificate $200 and 42 cents.

4250
02:30:01,360 --> 02:30:02,600
He says, for some reason, I haven't been

4251
02:30:02,600 --> 02:30:05,740
able to get into politics, including no agenda

4252
02:30:05,740 --> 02:30:06,720
since the election.

4253
02:30:07,060 --> 02:30:09,560
Not that the results aren't what I wanted.

4254
02:30:10,200 --> 02:30:11,320
Burnout, I suppose.

4255
02:30:11,320 --> 02:30:13,840
But with this donation, I think I will

4256
02:30:13,840 --> 02:30:14,960
wade back in.

4257
02:30:15,780 --> 02:30:18,420
No jingles, no karma, says certificate, a.k

4258
02:30:18,420 --> 02:30:20,160
.a. a.k.a. Keith Lawson.

4259
02:30:20,540 --> 02:30:22,000
But we're not all about politics.

4260
02:30:22,920 --> 02:30:24,280
What about all kinds of stuff?

4261
02:30:26,180 --> 02:30:26,340
Huh?

4262
02:30:26,680 --> 02:30:27,200
Yeah, it's true.

4263
02:30:27,420 --> 02:30:28,720
Yeah, we talk about all kinds of things,

4264
02:30:28,760 --> 02:30:31,280
including Linda Lou Patkin, Lakewood, Colorado, and her

4265
02:30:31,280 --> 02:30:34,660
$200 show donation, which happens every show.

4266
02:30:34,720 --> 02:30:38,140
And she always requests jobs karma and makes

4267
02:30:38,140 --> 02:30:41,440
the comment worried about A.I. For a

4268
02:30:41,440 --> 02:30:44,220
resume that gets results and tells you a

4269
02:30:44,220 --> 02:30:47,220
unique story and highlights the value you bring.

4270
02:30:47,420 --> 02:30:48,760
Go to ImageMakersInc.com.

4271
02:30:48,800 --> 02:30:51,040
That's ImageMakersInc with a K.

4272
02:30:51,180 --> 02:30:52,960
And work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs

4273
02:30:52,960 --> 02:30:55,600
and writer of winning resumes.

4274
02:30:56,000 --> 02:30:59,440
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

4275
02:30:59,660 --> 02:31:01,120
Let's vote for jobs.

4276
02:31:01,860 --> 02:31:02,340
Karma.

4277
02:31:03,860 --> 02:31:06,920
And our last associate executive producer is Gordon

4278
02:31:06,920 --> 02:31:07,580
Schroeder.

4279
02:31:07,780 --> 02:31:09,720
We have no location for Gordon.

4280
02:31:09,720 --> 02:31:11,940
We have no note for Gordon.

4281
02:31:12,320 --> 02:31:13,700
Well, that means we have one thing for

4282
02:31:13,700 --> 02:31:15,440
Gordon, which is a double up karma.

4283
02:31:15,560 --> 02:31:16,980
Thank you for your courage.

4284
02:31:16,980 --> 02:31:17,640
You've got.

4285
02:31:19,660 --> 02:31:20,280
Karma.

4286
02:31:20,740 --> 02:31:23,080
And that concludes our executive and associate executive

4287
02:31:23,080 --> 02:31:25,520
producers for episode 1792.

4288
02:31:26,100 --> 02:31:27,020
You know how it works.

4289
02:31:27,240 --> 02:31:29,760
These are real Hollywood style credits.

4290
02:31:29,760 --> 02:31:33,660
It's like a Article 5 style security guarantee.

4291
02:31:34,140 --> 02:31:36,720
And you can use that anywhere that credits

4292
02:31:36,720 --> 02:31:39,020
are especially Hollywood credits are accepted.

4293
02:31:39,020 --> 02:31:41,100
You can go to IMDB.com.

4294
02:31:41,200 --> 02:31:42,820
You can put on your LinkedIn and all

4295
02:31:42,820 --> 02:31:44,220
kinds of fun stuff you can do with

4296
02:31:44,220 --> 02:31:44,320
it.

4297
02:31:44,340 --> 02:31:46,160
And you can always say that you are

4298
02:31:46,160 --> 02:31:48,740
an executive or associate executive producer of the

4299
02:31:48,740 --> 02:31:50,580

02:31:50,760 --> 02:31:53,000

4301
02:31:53,000 --> 02:31:54,160

We encourage that.

4305
02:32:00,160 --> 02:32:01,480
It's a very good activity.

4307

4311

4314
02:32:18,920 --> 02:32:21,440
Congratulations, executive and associate executive producers.

4315
02:32:21,740 --> 02:32:23,040
Our formula is this.

4316
02:32:23,780 --> 02:32:24,560
We go out.

4317
02:32:25,120 --> 02:32:26,380
We hit people in the mouth.

4318
02:32:43,680 --> 02:32:46,940
A little bit of a bit of a

4319
02:32:46,940 --> 02:32:48,320
climate change news.

4320
02:32:49,560 --> 02:32:54,000
Since this is up from Washington State two

4321
02:32:54,000 --> 02:32:55,640
months ago, I don't know if you caught

4322
02:32:55,640 --> 02:32:57,780
this news or maybe Mimi heard about it

4323
02:32:57,780 --> 02:32:58,340
and told you.

4324
02:32:58,660 --> 02:33:01,640
The first hybrid electric ferry is about to

4325
02:33:01,640 --> 02:33:04,520
rejoin the fleet after nearly two years out

4326
02:33:04,520 --> 02:33:05,020
of the water.

4327
02:33:05,020 --> 02:33:07,760
The ferry Wenatchee is undergoing sea trials.

4328
02:33:08,420 --> 02:33:11,960
Vigor Marine says the historic conversion is complete.

4329
02:33:12,260 --> 02:33:15,060
They swapped two diesel generators out for batteries

4330
02:33:15,060 --> 02:33:17,320
and installed a new propulsion system.

4331
02:33:17,780 --> 02:33:19,880
The Wenatchee will rejoin the Seattle Bainbridge run

4332
02:33:19,880 --> 02:33:22,240
and welcome back passengers once sea trials are

4333
02:33:22,240 --> 02:33:22,700
complete.

4334
02:33:23,040 --> 02:33:23,460
All right.

4335
02:33:23,520 --> 02:33:25,860
So we've got a battery powered ferry.

4336
02:33:26,220 --> 02:33:28,860
What could possibly go wrong two months later?

4337
02:33:29,180 --> 02:33:31,940
Washington State Ferries has pulled its newly renovated

4338
02:33:31,940 --> 02:33:35,160
hybrid electric ferry from service less than one

4339
02:33:35,160 --> 02:33:36,980
month since the big renovation.

4340
02:33:37,420 --> 02:33:39,460
We're told the Wenatchee had a mechanical issue

4341
02:33:39,460 --> 02:33:41,880
yesterday while docking at Coleman Dock.

4342
02:33:42,400 --> 02:33:44,940
It's not clear exactly what that issue was

4343
02:33:44,940 --> 02:33:46,660
or how long it'll be out of service.

4344
02:33:46,840 --> 02:33:48,820
The Wenatchee was added to the Seattle Bainbridge

4345
02:33:48,820 --> 02:33:51,680
route in July after its conversion to hybrid

4346
02:33:51,680 --> 02:33:52,660
electric power.

4347
02:33:52,900 --> 02:33:53,640
Yeah, of course.

4348
02:33:54,120 --> 02:33:55,560
What could possibly go wrong?

4349
02:33:55,760 --> 02:33:57,160
Battery powered ferries.

4350
02:33:57,300 --> 02:33:58,640
That's just not a good idea.

4351
02:33:58,640 --> 02:34:02,480
You put up especially those explosive batteries in

4352
02:34:02,480 --> 02:34:04,700
the water, sea water environment.

4353
02:34:04,900 --> 02:34:06,220
Yeah, that's a smart move.

4354
02:34:06,360 --> 02:34:06,460
Yeah.

4355
02:34:06,520 --> 02:34:08,480
What if it's such a bad idea?

4356
02:34:08,880 --> 02:34:10,240
You know, there was a Peter Thiel.

4357
02:34:10,340 --> 02:34:12,920
We talked about him earlier, co-founder.

4358
02:34:13,060 --> 02:34:14,440
He's from the PayPal Mafia.

4359
02:34:15,140 --> 02:34:20,760
And of course, the funder of killing machines

4360
02:34:20,760 --> 02:34:24,420
like Palantir, which although we have a lot

4361
02:34:24,420 --> 02:34:28,640
of testimony to the contrary, people believe that

4362
02:34:28,640 --> 02:34:31,080
Palantir runs the world and is tracking your

4363
02:34:31,080 --> 02:34:31,700
every move.

4364
02:34:32,640 --> 02:34:35,460
They certainly have been successful at some government

4365
02:34:35,460 --> 02:34:39,760
contracts and very unsuccessful at targeting terrorists in

4366
02:34:39,760 --> 02:34:41,500
Palestine because they killed a lot of the

4367
02:34:41,500 --> 02:34:42,080
wrong people.

4368
02:34:42,240 --> 02:34:45,600
But that doesn't matter because Peter Thiel is

4369
02:34:45,600 --> 02:34:46,940
a force to be reckoned with.

4370
02:34:47,380 --> 02:34:51,880
And the New York Times interviewed him about

4371
02:34:51,880 --> 02:34:54,380
a month ago, and I paid no attention

4372
02:34:54,380 --> 02:34:56,480
to what I saw come by my feed.

4373
02:34:56,620 --> 02:34:58,680
But the guy is so annoying to listen

4374
02:34:58,680 --> 02:35:00,680
to because he's like the Sam Altman.

4375
02:35:04,640 --> 02:35:08,300
Yeah, it seems that the entire PayPal Mafia

4376
02:35:08,300 --> 02:35:10,620
talks like Musk is the same way.

4377
02:35:11,060 --> 02:35:13,380
But Altman wasn't part of the PayPal Mafia,

4378
02:35:13,520 --> 02:35:13,660
was he?

4379
02:35:13,660 --> 02:35:14,040
No, I know.

4380
02:35:14,080 --> 02:35:15,920
But this seems like the PayPal Mafia all

4381
02:35:15,920 --> 02:35:16,900
talks that way.

4382
02:35:16,920 --> 02:35:18,720
I think it's a Silicon Valley.

4383
02:35:18,720 --> 02:35:20,560
It could be a million thing.

4384
02:35:21,020 --> 02:35:24,940
Just to sound interesting, I'm deep in thought

4385
02:35:24,940 --> 02:35:26,040
about this.

4386
02:35:30,510 --> 02:35:33,210
And he is a transhumanist, as you will

4387
02:35:33,210 --> 02:35:33,790
hear in a moment.

4388
02:35:35,790 --> 02:35:36,830
He's trans?

4389
02:35:37,650 --> 02:35:38,850
Well, he's gay.

4390
02:35:39,570 --> 02:35:41,850
And you remember his boyfriend fell off the

4391
02:35:41,850 --> 02:35:44,710
balcony and died in Miami a year or

4392
02:35:44,710 --> 02:35:44,810
so ago?

4393
02:35:44,810 --> 02:35:45,290
I don't remember that.

4394
02:35:45,470 --> 02:35:47,230
Yeah, it was kind of a bad, bad

4395
02:35:47,230 --> 02:35:47,610
vibe.

4396
02:35:48,370 --> 02:35:49,870
Yeah, fell off the balcony.

4397
02:35:52,210 --> 02:35:54,510
But the New York Times guy sits down

4398
02:35:54,510 --> 02:35:57,110
with him and he starts asking him about

4399
02:35:57,110 --> 02:36:02,690
transhumanism, approaches it from a very innocuous way,

4400
02:36:02,810 --> 02:36:04,670
really about, you know, do you think the

4401
02:36:04,670 --> 02:36:05,990
human race should survive?

4402
02:36:06,290 --> 02:36:07,830
Or do you think that your machine should

4403
02:36:07,830 --> 02:36:08,430
run everything?

4404
02:36:09,150 --> 02:36:11,370
And it took an unexpected turn.

4405
02:36:11,870 --> 02:36:13,470
You would prefer the human race to endure,

4406
02:36:13,650 --> 02:36:13,970
right?

4407
02:36:14,890 --> 02:36:15,670
You're hesitating.

4408
02:36:16,110 --> 02:36:18,910
Well, and I should mention, I cut out

4409
02:36:18,910 --> 02:36:21,770
a lot of the five second pauses.

4410
02:36:21,770 --> 02:36:23,730
You would prefer the human, the two of

4411
02:36:23,730 --> 02:36:26,210
us both like to brag about our editing

4412
02:36:26,210 --> 02:36:26,850
skills.

4413
02:36:27,090 --> 02:36:28,450
It doesn't take a lot of skill because

4414
02:36:28,450 --> 02:36:29,090
you look at the waveform.

4415
02:36:29,090 --> 02:36:30,270
No, it doesn't take a lot of skill.

4416
02:36:30,410 --> 02:36:32,190
Look at all this white space.

4417
02:36:32,410 --> 02:36:34,170
Just cut it out.

4418
02:36:34,390 --> 02:36:36,090
You would prefer the human race to endure,

4419
02:36:36,310 --> 02:36:36,590
right?

4420
02:36:37,610 --> 02:36:38,470
You're hesitating.

4421
02:36:38,750 --> 02:36:39,650
Well, I, yes.

4422
02:36:39,750 --> 02:36:40,110
I don't know.

4423
02:36:40,190 --> 02:36:42,550
I would, I would.

4424
02:36:43,450 --> 02:36:44,790
This is a long hesitation.

4425
02:36:46,270 --> 02:36:47,450
There's so many questions.

4426
02:36:47,810 --> 02:36:49,350
Should the human race survive?

4427
02:36:51,110 --> 02:36:51,750
Yes.

4428
02:36:52,450 --> 02:36:58,610
But, but I also would, I also would

4429
02:36:58,610 --> 02:37:01,330
like us to, to radically solve these problems.

4430
02:37:01,750 --> 02:37:03,770
And, and so, you know, it's always, I

4431
02:37:03,770 --> 02:37:09,450
don't know, you know, yeah, transhumanism is this,

4432
02:37:09,990 --> 02:37:12,630
you know, the ideal was this radical transformation

4433
02:37:12,630 --> 02:37:17,430
where your human natural body gets transformed into

4434
02:37:17,430 --> 02:37:19,030
an immortal body.

4435
02:37:19,030 --> 02:37:22,930
And there's a critique of, let's say the

4436
02:37:22,930 --> 02:37:25,930
trans people in a sexual context, or I

4437
02:37:25,930 --> 02:37:29,190
don't know, transvestite is someone who changes their

4438
02:37:29,190 --> 02:37:30,770
clothes and cross dresses.

4439
02:37:31,130 --> 02:37:33,930
And a transsexual is someone where you change

4440
02:37:33,930 --> 02:37:36,010
your, I don't know, penis into a vagina.

4441
02:37:36,410 --> 02:37:38,030
And we can then debate how well those

4442
02:37:38,030 --> 02:37:38,850
surgeries work.

4443
02:37:39,350 --> 02:37:40,950
But we want more transsexuals.

4444
02:37:41,050 --> 02:37:42,730
You should have debated that.

4445
02:37:42,850 --> 02:37:45,270
How well do those surgeries work, Peter?

4446
02:37:45,270 --> 02:37:47,410
Where you change your, I don't know, penis

4447
02:37:47,410 --> 02:37:48,290
into a vagina.

4448
02:37:48,790 --> 02:37:50,310
And we can then debate how well those

4449
02:37:50,310 --> 02:37:51,130
surgeries work.

4450
02:37:51,490 --> 02:37:53,990
But we want more transformation than that.

4451
02:37:54,150 --> 02:37:56,310
It's the critique is not that it's weird

4452
02:37:56,310 --> 02:37:56,970
and unnatural.

4453
02:37:57,250 --> 02:37:59,430
It's man, it's so pathetically little.

4454
02:37:59,670 --> 02:38:01,850
And okay, we want more than cross dressing

4455
02:38:01,850 --> 02:38:03,670
or changing your sex organs.

4456
02:38:03,770 --> 02:38:05,410
We want you to be able to change

4457
02:38:05,410 --> 02:38:08,530
your heart and change your mind and change

4458
02:38:08,530 --> 02:38:10,330
your whole, your whole body.

4459
02:38:10,330 --> 02:38:14,010
And then Orthodox Christianity, by the way, the

4460
02:38:14,010 --> 02:38:16,970
critique Orthodox Christianity has of this is these

4461
02:38:16,970 --> 02:38:18,250
things don't go far enough.

4462
02:38:18,750 --> 02:38:21,330
Like the transhumanism is just changing your body.

4463
02:38:21,390 --> 02:38:23,290
But you also need to transform your soul.

4464
02:38:23,610 --> 02:38:25,710
And you need to transform your whole self.

4465
02:38:26,150 --> 02:38:26,710
What?

4466
02:38:28,570 --> 02:38:30,710
I must alert Pastor Jimmy.

4467
02:38:30,870 --> 02:38:32,290
He's not going far enough.

4468
02:38:32,750 --> 02:38:35,930
We need to transform our bodies.

4469
02:38:36,350 --> 02:38:38,050
It's Christianity.

4470
02:38:38,830 --> 02:38:41,410
You can imagine this got my attention.

4471
02:38:41,850 --> 02:38:43,610
And let's dive in, shall we?

4472
02:38:44,110 --> 02:38:48,330
I generally agree with your, what I think

4473
02:38:48,330 --> 02:38:49,130
is your beliefs.

4474
02:38:50,110 --> 02:38:51,150
He agrees?

4475
02:38:51,390 --> 02:38:52,330
With his beliefs?

4476
02:38:52,490 --> 02:38:52,690
Yes.

4477
02:38:52,790 --> 02:38:53,110
Oh, yeah.

4478
02:38:53,230 --> 02:38:54,290
This is the New York Times.

4479
02:38:54,690 --> 02:38:58,390
That religion should be a friend to science

4480
02:38:58,390 --> 02:38:59,990
and ideas of scientific progress.

4481
02:39:00,130 --> 02:39:03,210
I think any idea of divine providence has

4482
02:39:03,210 --> 02:39:05,590
to encompass the fact that we have progressed

4483
02:39:05,590 --> 02:39:08,850
and achieved and done things that would have

4484
02:39:08,850 --> 02:39:09,790
been unimaginable.

4485
02:39:09,810 --> 02:39:10,830
Okay, stop right there.

4486
02:39:10,890 --> 02:39:11,530
This is great.

4487
02:39:12,730 --> 02:39:15,390
First of all, interviewers should not be.

4488
02:39:16,110 --> 02:39:16,590
Agreeing.

4489
02:39:16,990 --> 02:39:19,430
Well, not agreeing or disagreeing.

4490
02:39:19,690 --> 02:39:21,750
But this guy's gone beyond agreeing and disagreeing.

4491
02:39:21,790 --> 02:39:23,670
He is now expressing himself.

4492
02:39:23,990 --> 02:39:25,530
Yes, he's from the sparkle.

4493
02:39:25,670 --> 02:39:26,250
Yack, yack, yack.

4494
02:39:26,350 --> 02:39:29,630
We came to listen to Peter Thiel and

4495
02:39:29,630 --> 02:39:33,310
what he thinks, not what some reporter from

4496
02:39:33,310 --> 02:39:36,050
the New York Times who's, you know, made

4497
02:39:36,050 --> 02:39:37,450
a mess of his life where he wouldn't

4498
02:39:37,450 --> 02:39:39,330
be there for at his age.

4499
02:39:40,770 --> 02:39:41,170
Yeah.

4500
02:39:42,550 --> 02:39:44,290
We don't care what you think.

4501
02:39:44,590 --> 02:39:45,970
Well, this guy, I think, is a member

4502
02:39:45,970 --> 02:39:47,810
of the sparkle clergy because he's like, oh,

4503
02:39:47,890 --> 02:39:49,090
yeah, no, I agree.

4504
02:39:49,250 --> 02:39:49,430
Yeah.

4505
02:39:49,930 --> 02:39:53,870
Anything that we do is God's, I plan.

4506
02:39:54,050 --> 02:39:56,390
Divine providence has to encompass the fact that

4507
02:39:56,390 --> 02:40:00,230
we have progressed and achieved and done things

4508
02:40:00,230 --> 02:40:03,110
that would have been unimaginable to our ancestors.

4509
02:40:03,570 --> 02:40:07,330
But it still also seems like, yeah, the

4510
02:40:07,330 --> 02:40:09,370
promise of Christianity in the end is you

4511
02:40:09,370 --> 02:40:11,730
get, you get the perfected body and the

4512
02:40:11,730 --> 02:40:12,390
perfected soul.

4513
02:40:12,650 --> 02:40:13,670
Oh, shut up.

4514
02:40:14,490 --> 02:40:16,890
He's laying out his Bible smack, man.

4515
02:40:16,970 --> 02:40:18,250
Let him, let him go.

4516
02:40:18,650 --> 02:40:20,270
What you hear Thiel say is better.

4517
02:40:20,390 --> 02:40:21,530
This guy's just there.

4518
02:40:21,730 --> 02:40:23,710
The promise of Christianity in the end is

4519
02:40:23,710 --> 02:40:26,110
you get, you get the perfected body and

4520
02:40:26,110 --> 02:40:28,570
the perfected soul through God's grace.

4521
02:40:29,030 --> 02:40:30,410
And the person who tries to do it

4522
02:40:30,410 --> 02:40:32,270
on their own with a bunch of machines

4523
02:40:32,270 --> 02:40:35,810
is likely to end up as a dystopian

4524
02:40:35,810 --> 02:40:36,310
character.

4525
02:40:36,410 --> 02:40:36,990
In hell.

4526
02:40:38,930 --> 02:40:43,130
Well, it's, let's, let's articulate this.

4527
02:40:43,270 --> 02:40:45,090
And you can have a heretical form of

4528
02:40:45,090 --> 02:40:47,790
Christianity that says something else.

4529
02:40:48,590 --> 02:40:49,970
I, I don't know.

4530
02:40:49,970 --> 02:40:52,650
I think the word nature does not occur

4531
02:40:52,650 --> 02:40:54,030
once in the old Testament.

4532
02:40:57,370 --> 02:40:57,910
Okay.

4533
02:40:58,310 --> 02:41:00,890
The word nature does not appear once in

4534
02:41:00,890 --> 02:41:01,710
the old Testament.

4535
02:41:02,510 --> 02:41:03,050
Okay.

4536
02:41:03,230 --> 02:41:05,790
I guess you could call creation, heavens and

4537
02:41:05,790 --> 02:41:06,490
earth, the world.

4538
02:41:06,570 --> 02:41:07,870
If you don't want to call it nature.

4539
02:41:08,050 --> 02:41:08,430
Okay.

4540
02:41:08,950 --> 02:41:11,250
That's, that's a point of discussion.

4541
02:41:11,530 --> 02:41:13,890
But I think there's a new Testament where

4542
02:41:13,890 --> 02:41:16,710
it appears quite a bit, especially the term

4543
02:41:16,710 --> 02:41:18,110
against nature.

4544
02:41:18,110 --> 02:41:20,430
I think the word nature does not occur

4545
02:41:20,430 --> 02:41:21,770
once in the old Testament.

4546
02:41:22,190 --> 02:41:24,090
And so, uh, you know, if you, if

4547
02:41:24,090 --> 02:41:27,650
you, you know, um, and there is, you

4548
02:41:27,650 --> 02:41:29,510
know, there is a word in which a

4549
02:41:29,510 --> 02:41:32,850
sense in which the way I understand, you

4550
02:41:32,850 --> 02:41:35,970
know, the, you know, the Judeo-Christian inspiration

4551
02:41:35,970 --> 02:41:38,770
is, it is, it is, it is, it

4552
02:41:38,770 --> 02:41:40,250
is about transcending nature.

4553
02:41:40,410 --> 02:41:42,730
It is about, he's almost done.

4554
02:41:43,490 --> 02:41:46,590
The way I understand, you know, the, you

4555
02:41:46,590 --> 02:41:49,730
know, the Judeo-Christian inspiration is, it is,

4556
02:41:49,810 --> 02:41:52,550
it is, it is, it is about transcending

4557
02:41:52,550 --> 02:41:52,930
nature.

4558
02:41:52,930 --> 02:41:54,550
It is about overcoming things.

4559
02:41:54,670 --> 02:41:57,310
And, you know, and the closest thing you

4560
02:41:57,310 --> 02:41:59,690
can say to nature is that people are

4561
02:41:59,690 --> 02:42:00,190
fallen.

4562
02:42:00,690 --> 02:42:03,570
And that that's the natural thing in a

4563
02:42:03,570 --> 02:42:06,770
Christian sense is that, um, you're messed up

4564
02:42:06,770 --> 02:42:08,370
and that's true.

4565
02:42:08,930 --> 02:42:12,290
But, um, you know, there's some ways that,

4566
02:42:12,290 --> 02:42:14,550
uh, you know, with God's help, you are

4567
02:42:14,550 --> 02:42:16,970
supposed to transcend that and overcome that.

4568
02:42:17,470 --> 02:42:19,330
Well, I now link arms with the Peter

4569
02:42:19,330 --> 02:42:20,670
Thiel haters of the world.

4570
02:42:20,770 --> 02:42:22,130
This guy is a ghoul.

4571
02:42:23,130 --> 02:42:26,350
He's a complete, all of his government contracts

4572
02:42:26,350 --> 02:42:27,910
should be ripped up.

4573
02:42:28,630 --> 02:42:29,650
What an idiot.

4574
02:42:30,810 --> 02:42:32,570
And the New York Times guy is not

4575
02:42:32,570 --> 02:42:33,130
much better.

4576
02:42:34,050 --> 02:42:35,570
No, the New York Times guy's worse.

4577
02:42:35,750 --> 02:42:35,970
Yeah.

4578
02:42:36,170 --> 02:42:37,090
It's just unbelievable.

4579
02:42:37,090 --> 02:42:37,670
Oh yeah.

4580
02:42:37,830 --> 02:42:38,230
Oh yeah.

4581
02:42:38,270 --> 02:42:38,610
Sure.

4582
02:42:38,790 --> 02:42:39,110
Okay.

4583
02:42:39,310 --> 02:42:39,470
Yeah.

4584
02:42:39,530 --> 02:42:41,990
Well, nice interpretation, Peter Thiel.

4585
02:42:42,970 --> 02:42:45,370
Well, that was a trip down nowhere.

4586
02:42:45,630 --> 02:42:48,110
Well, I thought it was quite interesting personally.

4587
02:42:48,930 --> 02:42:52,190
Uh, let's go to what Tulsi Gabbard's up

4588
02:42:52,190 --> 02:42:52,450
to.

4589
02:42:52,710 --> 02:42:53,050
Yeah.

4590
02:42:53,070 --> 02:42:54,910
She's doing a couple of things, isn't she?

4591
02:42:54,970 --> 02:42:57,290
I think this, she has to be the

4592
02:42:57,290 --> 02:43:01,390
intelligence communities, at least the bad actors in

4593
02:43:01,390 --> 02:43:02,790
the intelligence community.

4594
02:43:02,810 --> 02:43:03,770
They gotta be worried.

4595
02:43:05,190 --> 02:43:06,070
Worst nightmare.

4596
02:43:06,370 --> 02:43:06,750
Yes.

4597
02:43:07,090 --> 02:43:09,770
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard announces today

4598
02:43:09,770 --> 02:43:12,010
that she's cutting her department by more than

4599
02:43:12,010 --> 02:43:14,230
40% to quote, root out deep state

4600
02:43:14,230 --> 02:43:14,770
actors.

4601
02:43:14,930 --> 02:43:16,530
She says the move will make the department

4602
02:43:16,530 --> 02:43:19,250
more efficient and save taxpayers north of $700

4603
02:43:19,250 --> 02:43:21,150
million per year.

4604
02:43:21,270 --> 02:43:23,890
The news comes just after she wrote security

4605
02:43:23,890 --> 02:43:27,350
clearances for 37 intelligence officials, accusing them of

4606
02:43:27,350 --> 02:43:29,650
politically weaponizing intelligence.

4607
02:43:30,230 --> 02:43:32,770
NTD's Washington correspondent, Jack Bradley has more.

4608
02:43:32,770 --> 02:43:36,730
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard strips security

4609
02:43:36,730 --> 02:43:41,170
clearances from 37 current and former intelligence officials.

4610
02:43:41,750 --> 02:43:44,830
She also terminated any government employment or contracts

4611
02:43:44,830 --> 02:43:45,250
for them.

4612
02:43:45,830 --> 02:43:47,590
Gabbard said that she's doing this at the

4613
02:43:47,590 --> 02:43:48,970
direction of president Trump.

4614
02:43:49,270 --> 02:43:51,470
And she didn't disclose any specific acts that

4615
02:43:51,470 --> 02:43:53,130
led to the losses of clearance for each

4616
02:43:53,130 --> 02:43:55,790
person, but said that more generally, they were

4617
02:43:55,790 --> 02:43:58,490
part of a political weaponization of the intelligence

4618
02:43:58,490 --> 02:44:03,010
community, leaking classified information and bypassing normal procedures,

4619
02:44:03,390 --> 02:44:06,070
particularly in creating a false intelligence report that

4620
02:44:06,070 --> 02:44:09,150
accused Trump of colluding with Russia in the

4621
02:44:09,150 --> 02:44:10,250
2016 election.

4622
02:44:10,710 --> 02:44:12,850
They were not happy with the outcome of

4623
02:44:12,850 --> 02:44:13,450
that election.

4624
02:44:13,610 --> 02:44:16,350
And so they created this politicized, weaponized piece

4625
02:44:16,350 --> 02:44:19,550
of fake intelligence that they aided and abetted

4626
02:44:19,550 --> 02:44:24,810
in this action, this seditious conspiracy that undermined

4627
02:44:24,810 --> 02:44:27,570
our democracy, undermined our republic.

4628
02:44:28,130 --> 02:44:30,250
These are bad actors that have to be

4629
02:44:30,250 --> 02:44:30,950
rooted out.

4630
02:44:32,630 --> 02:44:35,410
Yeah, I think this is pretty good, what

4631
02:44:35,410 --> 02:44:36,190
she's doing here.

4632
02:44:37,030 --> 02:44:38,710
And I think that's why she was hired

4633
02:44:38,710 --> 02:44:39,790
was to do this stuff.

4634
02:44:40,090 --> 02:44:41,170
I think so.

4635
02:44:41,670 --> 02:44:44,690
She has a bad attitude.

4636
02:44:44,950 --> 02:44:47,150
She's not going to put up with anything.

4637
02:44:47,370 --> 02:44:49,670
Well, she's not like a bureaucrat that's in

4638
02:44:49,670 --> 02:44:50,990
it just for the, you know, so she

4639
02:44:50,990 --> 02:44:53,350
can pick up a, pick up a retirement

4640
02:44:53,350 --> 02:44:54,930
check income.

4641
02:44:55,090 --> 02:44:56,070
No, no, she's.

4642
02:44:56,070 --> 02:44:59,430
Yeah, I'm kind of liking this Tulsi business.

4643
02:44:59,810 --> 02:45:01,590
And it's still not being picked up by,

4644
02:45:01,750 --> 02:45:03,050
I'm sorry, it's still not being picked up

4645
02:45:03,050 --> 02:45:03,710
by the mainstream.

4646
02:45:04,450 --> 02:45:06,770
You know, they still keep bringing out people

4647
02:45:06,770 --> 02:45:08,870
like Susan Rice and they bring out these

4648
02:45:08,870 --> 02:45:11,590
other people and people I know around here,

4649
02:45:11,670 --> 02:45:13,730
the Democrats around here that I know that,

4650
02:45:14,210 --> 02:45:16,150
oh, yeah, well, it's a known fact that

4651
02:45:16,150 --> 02:45:17,590
Russia colluded with Trump.

4652
02:45:17,670 --> 02:45:18,770
I don't care what they say.

4653
02:45:20,650 --> 02:45:22,130
Yeah, it's California.

4654
02:45:22,130 --> 02:45:24,590
In announcing the move on X, she said

4655
02:45:24,590 --> 02:45:27,150
that a security clearance is a privilege, not

4656
02:45:27,150 --> 02:45:27,590
a right.

4657
02:45:27,990 --> 02:45:30,050
Those who betray their oath to the Constitution

4658
02:45:30,050 --> 02:45:32,610
and put their own interests before the interests

4659
02:45:32,610 --> 02:45:35,290
of the American people have broken the sacred

4660
02:45:35,290 --> 02:45:37,030
trust they promised to uphold.

4661
02:45:37,510 --> 02:45:39,650
Those who lost their security clearances can no

4662
02:45:39,650 --> 02:45:42,690
longer access classified facilities and information.

4663
02:45:43,310 --> 02:45:45,270
Back in July, Gabbard said that the intelligence

4664
02:45:45,270 --> 02:45:48,270
community did assess that in the months leading

4665
02:45:48,270 --> 02:45:51,290
up to the November 2016 election, Russia was

4666
02:45:51,290 --> 02:45:53,450
trying to interfere in the U.S. presidential

4667
02:45:53,450 --> 02:45:57,230
election by sowing discord and chaos, but repeatedly

4668
02:45:57,230 --> 02:45:59,550
stating that Russia didn't appear to have a

4669
02:45:59,550 --> 02:46:02,670
preference for either candidate and viewed both equally

4670
02:46:02,670 --> 02:46:04,130
bad for Russia's interest.

4671
02:46:04,490 --> 02:46:07,490
She then said that in December 2016, then

4672
02:46:07,490 --> 02:46:11,450
President Obama called for another intelligence assessment to

4673
02:46:11,450 --> 02:46:14,230
contradict it and claim that Russia did interfere

4674
02:46:14,230 --> 02:46:15,530
in Trump's favor.

4675
02:46:15,530 --> 02:46:19,090
There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President

4676
02:46:19,090 --> 02:46:21,990
Obama and his national security team directed the

4677
02:46:21,990 --> 02:46:25,830
creation of an intelligence community assessment that they

4678
02:46:25,830 --> 02:46:27,370
knew was false.

4679
02:46:28,010 --> 02:46:30,910
But Gabbard said that they used substandard intelligence,

4680
02:46:31,290 --> 02:46:34,710
bypassing normal procedures, and used the Steele dossier

4681
02:46:34,710 --> 02:46:36,770
as a source for the newer assessment.

4682
02:46:37,310 --> 02:46:39,590
The Steele dossier is now widely considered to

4683
02:46:39,590 --> 02:46:40,730
have been discredited.

4684
02:46:40,730 --> 02:46:44,410
Yeah, weren't they supposed to start the depositions

4685
02:46:44,410 --> 02:46:45,610
on the 19th?

4686
02:46:46,410 --> 02:46:47,790
I mean, do we even know if that

4687
02:46:47,790 --> 02:46:48,850
started at all?

4688
02:46:49,590 --> 02:46:51,310
You know, nothing's going to come of any

4689
02:46:51,310 --> 02:46:53,210
of this, except the people that lost their

4690
02:46:53,210 --> 02:46:55,730
security clearances are probably going to have to

4691
02:46:55,730 --> 02:46:58,190
go find work someplace else.

4692
02:46:58,430 --> 02:47:00,070
And, you know, who knows where.

4693
02:47:00,910 --> 02:47:02,750
And that's going to be all that's going

4694
02:47:02,750 --> 02:47:03,090
to happen.

4695
02:47:03,230 --> 02:47:03,790
They won't.

4696
02:47:03,890 --> 02:47:07,630
The Republicans are not vindictive enough to actually

4697
02:47:07,630 --> 02:47:08,670
take action.

4698
02:47:10,250 --> 02:47:11,590
No, they're not.

4699
02:47:11,730 --> 02:47:13,550
And by the way, the CIA, and you

4700
02:47:13,550 --> 02:47:16,750
know, an old report has resurfaced, and I

4701
02:47:16,750 --> 02:47:20,950
put it in the show notes, 1957, a

4702
02:47:20,950 --> 02:47:24,450
200-page report proposing that American special forces

4703
02:47:24,450 --> 02:47:29,850
should secretly infiltrate Ukraine, spark uprising, and destabilize

4704
02:47:29,850 --> 02:47:31,610
the Soviet Union from within.

4705
02:47:33,130 --> 02:47:36,950
This has been a plan by the CIA

4706
02:47:36,950 --> 02:47:38,050
and Western.

4707
02:47:38,970 --> 02:47:41,210
There was actually, they did it with the

4708
02:47:41,210 --> 02:47:41,970
Brits.

4709
02:47:43,370 --> 02:47:45,450
And there was an update to this plan

4710
02:47:45,450 --> 02:47:45,910
in 2014.

4711
02:47:46,790 --> 02:47:47,470
I mean, come on.

4712
02:47:47,950 --> 02:47:48,810
It was so obvious.

4713
02:47:49,410 --> 02:47:51,490
The outrage should be that we started all

4714
02:47:51,490 --> 02:47:52,950
this nonsense in Ukraine.

4715
02:47:53,190 --> 02:47:53,790
We don't.

4716
02:47:54,650 --> 02:47:57,570
The reason they just, that's another thing that

4717
02:47:57,570 --> 02:48:00,670
mainstream media will not do, which is.

4718
02:48:00,670 --> 02:48:01,110
No.

4719
02:48:01,650 --> 02:48:03,710
Give us the straight scoop on this stuff.

4720
02:48:03,930 --> 02:48:04,870
They just can't.

4721
02:48:05,370 --> 02:48:07,410
They're working, they're not working for the people.

4722
02:48:08,310 --> 02:48:09,350
Unlike us.

4723
02:48:10,390 --> 02:48:11,730
We work for you.

4724
02:48:12,110 --> 02:48:13,350
We work for the people.

4725
02:48:13,610 --> 02:48:14,130
We do.

4726
02:48:14,450 --> 02:48:15,650
We work for the people.

4727
02:48:16,810 --> 02:48:18,970
NPR did have a, I think I have

4728
02:48:18,970 --> 02:48:21,110
a 56 seconds.

4729
02:48:21,230 --> 02:48:22,470
NPR had this story.

4730
02:48:22,690 --> 02:48:25,710
President Trump's chief spy, Tulsi Gabbard, says she'll

4731
02:48:25,710 --> 02:48:28,770
cut her agency's budget by over 40%

4732
02:48:28,770 --> 02:48:30,510
by the end of 2025.

4733
02:48:31,110 --> 02:48:33,150
Is she the chief spy?

4734
02:48:33,350 --> 02:48:33,850
Is that really?

4735
02:48:34,890 --> 02:48:35,530
Technically.

4736
02:48:36,090 --> 02:48:36,410
Technically?

4737
02:48:37,230 --> 02:48:38,330
NPR's Jenna McLaughlin.

4738
02:48:38,330 --> 02:48:39,010
She's not really a spy.

4739
02:48:39,350 --> 02:48:40,030
You know, that's the thing.

4740
02:48:40,110 --> 02:48:42,350
She's not a spy in the sense of

4741
02:48:42,350 --> 02:48:44,150
what a spy is.

4742
02:48:44,250 --> 02:48:45,010
But it sounds cool.

4743
02:48:45,010 --> 02:48:48,390
She is a bureaucrat that heads up all

4744
02:48:48,390 --> 02:48:50,330
the spies and analysts.

4745
02:48:50,710 --> 02:48:51,830
She's the chief spy.

4746
02:48:52,250 --> 02:48:54,270
NPR's Jenna McLaughlin reports.

4747
02:48:54,270 --> 02:48:56,910
Career intelligence officials say their mission is to

4748
02:48:56,910 --> 02:48:58,110
speak truth to power.

4749
02:48:58,470 --> 02:49:01,150
However, the former Democratic lawmaker turned head of

4750
02:49:01,150 --> 02:49:03,010
the office of the director of national intelligence.

4751
02:49:03,210 --> 02:49:03,850
Wait a minute.

4752
02:49:04,630 --> 02:49:06,170
Since when is that their job?

4753
02:49:06,210 --> 02:49:07,330
Let's listen to that again.

4754
02:49:08,910 --> 02:49:11,370
2025 NPR's Jenna McLaughlin reports.

4755
02:49:11,590 --> 02:49:14,010
Career intelligence officials say their mission is to

4756
02:49:14,010 --> 02:49:15,210
speak truth to power.

4757
02:49:15,430 --> 02:49:16,650
That's bullcrap.

4758
02:49:17,230 --> 02:49:20,090
It's not their mission to speak truth to

4759
02:49:20,090 --> 02:49:20,630
power.

4760
02:49:21,270 --> 02:49:24,030
It's to subvert other powers and other nations

4761
02:49:24,030 --> 02:49:25,070
and other leaders.

4762
02:49:25,190 --> 02:49:26,470
It's not their mission.

4763
02:49:27,210 --> 02:49:29,450
However, the former Democratic lawmaker turned head of

4764
02:49:29,450 --> 02:49:31,490
the office of the director of national intelligence,

4765
02:49:31,610 --> 02:49:34,490
or ODNI, has expressed her commitment to aligning

4766
02:49:34,490 --> 02:49:36,930
the agency with President Trump's policy goals.

4767
02:49:37,330 --> 02:49:39,750
The ODNI was created after the September 11th

4768
02:49:39,750 --> 02:49:42,910
terrorist attacks to foster intelligence sharing between US

4769
02:49:42,910 --> 02:49:43,890
government agencies.

4770
02:49:44,690 --> 02:49:46,930
Gabbard says she'll slash the agency's costs by

4771
02:49:46,930 --> 02:49:49,010
over 40% by the end of September,

4772
02:49:49,210 --> 02:49:51,250
though she didn't identify specific cuts.

4773
02:49:51,830 --> 02:49:53,770
In a statement, the Democratic vice chair of

4774
02:49:53,770 --> 02:49:56,530
the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner of Virginia,

4775
02:49:56,790 --> 02:49:58,770
says he would welcome the chance to review

4776
02:49:58,770 --> 02:50:02,650
Gabbard's plans, but expresses concern, arguing Gabbard has

4777
02:50:02,650 --> 02:50:04,950
a track record of politicizing intelligence.

4778
02:50:05,210 --> 02:50:06,990
And you're listening to NPR.

4779
02:50:07,670 --> 02:50:08,070
But what?

4780
02:50:08,190 --> 02:50:08,410
What?

4781
02:50:08,910 --> 02:50:10,250
What track record?

4782
02:50:10,510 --> 02:50:11,330
Let's listen again.

4783
02:50:11,570 --> 02:50:14,130
Welcome the chance to review Gabbard's plans, but

4784
02:50:14,130 --> 02:50:17,370
expresses concern, arguing Gabbard has a track record

4785
02:50:17,370 --> 02:50:18,890
of politicizing intelligence.

4786
02:50:18,890 --> 02:50:21,190
And you're listening to NPR.

4787
02:50:21,550 --> 02:50:22,910
A track record, I tell you.

4788
02:50:23,090 --> 02:50:23,730
What track record?

4789
02:50:23,790 --> 02:50:25,410
She just got this job recently.

4790
02:50:25,550 --> 02:50:26,890
She's been in office six months.

4791
02:50:26,950 --> 02:50:28,710
A track record assumes you've been doing something

4792
02:50:28,710 --> 02:50:29,790
for years and years.

4793
02:50:30,010 --> 02:50:30,290
Track record, baby.

4794
02:50:30,290 --> 02:50:31,850
When you use it in a political sense,

4795
02:50:31,910 --> 02:50:33,250
when you say track record.

4796
02:50:33,350 --> 02:50:33,930
Track record.

4797
02:50:34,350 --> 02:50:36,370
I'm telling you, track record.

4798
02:50:38,840 --> 02:50:41,480
Well, NPR, just since you mentioned this bull

4799
02:50:41,480 --> 02:50:44,020
crap about truth to power, play this little

4800
02:50:44,020 --> 02:50:44,240
clip.

4801
02:50:44,300 --> 02:50:45,620
This is an off-the-wall clip.

4802
02:50:46,160 --> 02:50:48,560
This is the science clip I have here.

4803
02:50:48,640 --> 02:50:49,300
Where is it?

4804
02:50:52,960 --> 02:50:53,840
Um, defy.

4805
02:50:53,940 --> 02:50:54,580
It says defy.

4806
02:50:54,660 --> 02:50:56,200
This is NPR defy.

4807
02:50:56,300 --> 02:50:58,020
Now, you've got to know if you can

4808
02:50:58,020 --> 02:50:58,940
define science.

4809
02:50:59,020 --> 02:51:00,860
You can ask the robot there that your

4810
02:51:00,860 --> 02:51:01,180
buddy.

4811
02:51:01,400 --> 02:51:03,660
I'm not going to define science.

4812
02:51:03,680 --> 02:51:07,200
But listen to the definition of science from

4813
02:51:07,200 --> 02:51:07,540
NPR.

4814
02:51:07,900 --> 02:51:08,460
Science, mind you.

4815
02:51:08,680 --> 02:51:10,000
Science, science, science.

4816
02:51:10,160 --> 02:51:10,600
Science.

4817
02:51:11,100 --> 02:51:13,780
Shortwave thinks of science as an invisible force

4818
02:51:13,780 --> 02:51:15,660
showing up in your everyday life.

4819
02:51:15,700 --> 02:51:16,800
Wait, start it over.

4820
02:51:20,660 --> 02:51:21,800
Okay, here we go.

4821
02:51:22,900 --> 02:51:25,780
Shortwave thinks of science as an invisible force

4822
02:51:25,780 --> 02:51:29,980
showing up in your everyday life, powering the

4823
02:51:29,980 --> 02:51:32,580
food you eat, the medicine you use, the

4824
02:51:32,580 --> 02:51:33,660
tech in your pocket.

4825
02:51:34,060 --> 02:51:36,440
Science is approachable because it's already part of

4826
02:51:36,440 --> 02:51:36,880
your life.

4827
02:51:38,580 --> 02:51:41,400
Come explore these connections on the shortwave podcast

4828
02:51:41,400 --> 02:51:42,160
from NPR.

4829
02:51:43,060 --> 02:51:45,560
So what exactly did they just say?

4830
02:51:46,140 --> 02:51:48,520
They said science is a force.

4831
02:51:48,960 --> 02:51:49,320
A force.

4832
02:51:50,340 --> 02:51:51,960
Some sort of force that.

4833
02:51:53,680 --> 02:51:54,880
Some sort of force.

4834
02:51:55,100 --> 02:51:56,900
I'm going to read definition of science.

4835
02:51:57,100 --> 02:52:00,040
It's like the systematic study of the structure

4836
02:52:00,040 --> 02:52:02,340
and behavior of the physical and natural world

4837
02:52:02,340 --> 02:52:05,800
through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories

4838
02:52:05,800 --> 02:52:07,360
against the evidence obtained.

4839
02:52:07,400 --> 02:52:07,820
That's it.

4840
02:52:08,260 --> 02:52:09,400
That's what science is.

4841
02:52:09,460 --> 02:52:10,900
It's not a force.

4842
02:52:11,360 --> 02:52:12,820
It's a force to be reckoned with.

4843
02:52:13,000 --> 02:52:14,040
Shut up already.

4844
02:52:14,900 --> 02:52:15,420
Science.

4845
02:52:15,680 --> 02:52:16,500
It's science.

4846
02:52:16,760 --> 02:52:17,100
Yes.

4847
02:52:17,100 --> 02:52:19,820
Let's talk to NPR promoting the idea of

4848
02:52:19,820 --> 02:52:20,140
science.

4849
02:52:20,480 --> 02:52:22,040
This way you believe the science.

4850
02:52:22,540 --> 02:52:23,940
Believe the force, Luke.

4851
02:52:24,080 --> 02:52:25,580
Believe the force.

4852
02:52:25,940 --> 02:52:27,860
Well, let's talk about some science for a

4853
02:52:27,860 --> 02:52:29,360
moment with Dr. Selene Gounder.

4854
02:52:29,600 --> 02:52:31,860
Turning to your health, there's news tonight that

4855
02:52:31,860 --> 02:52:34,220
the maker of Ozempic is cutting the price

4856
02:52:34,220 --> 02:52:36,400
nearly in half for some patients.

4857
02:52:36,820 --> 02:52:38,760
The company had already cut the price of

4858
02:52:38,760 --> 02:52:41,660
Wegovy, a similar medication approved for weight loss.

4859
02:52:42,020 --> 02:52:44,500
Dr. Selene Gounder is here with more on

4860
02:52:44,500 --> 02:52:46,760
the emerging price competition over these drugs.

4861
02:52:46,760 --> 02:52:48,900
What is driving this price war, doctor?

4862
02:52:49,260 --> 02:52:50,900
John, the race is on.

4863
02:52:51,140 --> 02:52:54,140
Novo Nordisk has dominated early on with their

4864
02:52:54,140 --> 02:52:57,300
drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, but now Eli Lilly

4865
02:52:57,300 --> 02:53:00,340
with their drugs Monjaro and ZepBound are catching

4866
02:53:00,340 --> 02:53:03,000
up fast thanks to lower prices and strong

4867
02:53:03,000 --> 02:53:03,620
supply.

4868
02:53:03,900 --> 02:53:07,120
It's really about Novo Nordisk trying to regain

4869
02:53:07,120 --> 02:53:08,360
take-back market share.

4870
02:53:09,140 --> 02:53:11,260
Specifically, Novo has said this is targeted at

4871
02:53:11,260 --> 02:53:14,080
patients with type 2 diabetes who do not

4872
02:53:14,080 --> 02:53:14,960
have insurance.

4873
02:53:14,960 --> 02:53:17,420
Now, I don't know how many patients don't

4874
02:53:17,420 --> 02:53:20,980
have insurance who can afford $500 a month,

4875
02:53:21,100 --> 02:53:22,660
but that is the target audience.

4876
02:53:22,780 --> 02:53:24,600
Yeah, well, we know that it's not about

4877
02:53:24,600 --> 02:53:24,920
that.

4878
02:53:25,020 --> 02:53:27,100
We know that you're being paid to shill

4879
02:53:27,100 --> 02:53:28,720
for weight loss drugs.

4880
02:53:28,860 --> 02:53:31,040
So, and are they competing just on price

4881
02:53:31,040 --> 02:53:32,420
or is there any other thing they compete

4882
02:53:32,420 --> 02:53:32,660
on?

4883
02:53:32,980 --> 02:53:35,020
Well, they also compete on effectiveness.

4884
02:53:35,200 --> 02:53:36,620
So, there was a head-to-head study

4885
02:53:36,620 --> 02:53:38,240
published in the New England Journal of Medicine

4886
02:53:38,240 --> 02:53:42,020
looking these two companies' drugs head-to-head.

4887
02:53:42,360 --> 02:53:46,140
Over 72 weeks, people on the Lilly drug

4888
02:53:46,140 --> 02:53:48,260
lost about 20% of their body weight

4889
02:53:48,260 --> 02:53:52,260
compared to 14% body weight lost with

4890
02:53:52,260 --> 02:53:54,060
those on the Novo Nordisk drug.

4891
02:53:54,300 --> 02:53:55,480
So, there is a difference there.

4892
02:53:55,860 --> 02:53:57,820
And the degree of improvement in blood pressure,

4893
02:53:58,060 --> 02:54:01,900
diabetes, cholesterol was commensurate with proportional to the

4894
02:54:01,900 --> 02:54:02,680
amount of weight loss.

4895
02:54:03,140 --> 02:54:06,500
And we have a new side effect of

4896
02:54:06,500 --> 02:54:06,980
these drugs.

4897
02:54:06,980 --> 02:54:07,920
Yeah, I saw this.

4898
02:54:07,920 --> 02:54:11,760
A new side effect known as ozempic vulva.

4899
02:54:12,500 --> 02:54:13,600
Oh, I don't know about that.

4900
02:54:13,720 --> 02:54:15,260
I thought, you know, I was thinking of

4901
02:54:15,260 --> 02:54:16,800
the positive things going on.

4902
02:54:16,980 --> 02:54:18,940
Well, I'll tell you about this.

4903
02:54:19,100 --> 02:54:23,760
The ozempic vulva is sagging caused by loose

4904
02:54:23,760 --> 02:54:28,140
labia, loose skin in the vaginal area, wrinkles,

4905
02:54:28,140 --> 02:54:30,860
or some combination of all three if you're

4906
02:54:30,860 --> 02:54:31,140
lucky.

4907
02:54:32,720 --> 02:54:33,300
Dude.

4908
02:54:34,140 --> 02:54:35,220
Oh, God.

4909
02:54:35,220 --> 02:54:38,600
Dude, you had positive news from them?

4910
02:54:38,760 --> 02:54:39,180
You had positive news?

4911
02:54:39,180 --> 02:54:41,680
Yeah, apparently it's a cure for baldness.

4912
02:54:42,320 --> 02:54:45,520
Oh, well, good news, ladies.

4913
02:54:45,600 --> 02:54:46,460
You won't go bald.

4914
02:54:46,600 --> 02:54:47,320
Bad news.

4915
02:54:48,080 --> 02:54:48,900
Bad news.

4916
02:54:48,960 --> 02:54:50,140
You'll be dragging on the ground.

4917
02:54:52,440 --> 02:54:54,680
We have an update.

4918
02:54:54,820 --> 02:54:58,140
Of course, we need to discredit our Health

4919
02:54:58,140 --> 02:55:00,720
and Human Services Secretary and everybody that he's

4920
02:55:00,720 --> 02:55:01,060
hired.

4921
02:55:01,060 --> 02:55:03,460
Back to school season often means making sure

4922
02:55:03,460 --> 02:55:05,460
your child is up to date on vaccinations.

4923
02:55:05,700 --> 02:55:06,320
That's what it means.

4924
02:55:06,400 --> 02:55:08,260
You just remember, back to school means get

4925
02:55:08,260 --> 02:55:08,760
your shots.

4926
02:55:08,940 --> 02:55:10,580
That's what back to school means.

4927
02:55:10,860 --> 02:55:12,100
Yeah, it used to be back to school.

4928
02:55:12,200 --> 02:55:13,760
Suddenly means get vaxxed.

4929
02:55:13,840 --> 02:55:15,740
It used to mean, you know, like, get

4930
02:55:15,740 --> 02:55:16,360
your books.

4931
02:55:16,460 --> 02:55:18,700
You got to put covers on your books.

4932
02:55:18,800 --> 02:55:19,980
You got to get your eraser.

4933
02:55:20,640 --> 02:55:21,960
No, no, no, not anymore.

4934
02:55:22,080 --> 02:55:23,080
Not just backpacks.

4935
02:55:23,180 --> 02:55:25,280
Back to school means getting vaxxed.

4936
02:55:25,280 --> 02:55:27,000
And why are we going back to school

4937
02:55:27,000 --> 02:55:27,660
so soon?

4938
02:55:27,760 --> 02:55:29,060
But that's another topic.

4939
02:55:29,060 --> 02:55:31,660
Back to school season often means making sure

4940
02:55:31,660 --> 02:55:33,620
your child is up to date on vaccinations,

4941
02:55:33,920 --> 02:55:36,760
a step most schools require before students can

4942
02:55:36,760 --> 02:55:37,160
attend.

4943
02:55:37,600 --> 02:55:39,380
In the past, parents could rely on a

4944
02:55:39,380 --> 02:55:41,580
single authoritative schedule from the CDC.

4945
02:55:41,600 --> 02:55:42,120
No longer.

4946
02:55:42,360 --> 02:55:44,800
This year, the American Academy of Pediatrics has

4947
02:55:44,800 --> 02:55:47,860
released its own vaccine schedule, and it's different

4948
02:55:47,860 --> 02:55:48,820
from the government's.

4949
02:55:49,100 --> 02:55:51,820
CBS News medical contributor, Dr. Selene Gounder, is

4950
02:55:51,820 --> 02:55:52,520
here to explain.

4951
02:55:52,920 --> 02:55:53,040
Gounder.

4952
02:55:53,440 --> 02:55:54,780
Dr. Gounder, explain.

4953
02:55:54,980 --> 02:55:55,400
What is this?

4954
02:55:55,480 --> 02:55:56,900
What was the laugh tale?

4955
02:55:57,280 --> 02:55:58,980
Oh, did you hear the laugh?

4956
02:55:58,980 --> 02:55:59,880
Let's listen again.

4957
02:56:00,160 --> 02:56:02,900
CBS News medical contributor, Dr. Selene Gounder, is

4958
02:56:02,900 --> 02:56:03,860
here to explain.

4959
02:56:04,800 --> 02:56:05,140
Dr. Gounder.

4960
02:56:05,180 --> 02:56:05,680
Oh, is it before?

4961
02:56:05,820 --> 02:56:06,600
Oh, yeah, here it is.

4962
02:56:06,800 --> 02:56:07,140
Dr. Gounder.

4963
02:56:07,140 --> 02:56:07,580
There it is.

4964
02:56:07,780 --> 02:56:11,080
Oh, he's laugh telling because, you know, he's

4965
02:56:11,080 --> 02:56:15,640
like, the stupid RFK Jr. I mean, we

4966
02:56:15,640 --> 02:56:17,280
can't trust them anymore.

4967
02:56:17,720 --> 02:56:18,840
So what are we going to do?

4968
02:56:19,360 --> 02:56:20,780
Dr. Gounder, explain.

4969
02:56:21,020 --> 02:56:21,480
What is this?

4970
02:56:21,540 --> 02:56:23,580
What's this discrepancy here?

4971
02:56:24,080 --> 02:56:26,300
Yeah, so for the first time in decades,

4972
02:56:26,440 --> 02:56:29,160
pediatricians are putting out their own schedule because

4973
02:56:29,160 --> 02:56:30,780
they no longer trust the government.

4974
02:56:30,780 --> 02:56:31,520
Stop the clip.

4975
02:56:31,560 --> 02:56:32,260
Stopping the clip.

4976
02:56:32,600 --> 02:56:34,840
Because I can I'm going to predict the

4977
02:56:34,840 --> 02:56:36,100
direction of this clip.

4978
02:56:40,110 --> 02:56:42,230
Surely you just, Mr. Dvorak.

4979
02:56:42,670 --> 02:56:44,930
She's going to go on with her assertion.

4980
02:56:45,050 --> 02:56:47,330
And then Dickerson, who is an old pro,

4981
02:56:47,450 --> 02:56:49,610
knows what he's doing is a top journalist

4982
02:56:49,610 --> 02:56:51,950
is going to say, well, isn't it true

4983
02:56:51,950 --> 02:56:54,790
that the pediatricians have a conflict of interest

4984
02:56:54,790 --> 02:56:58,830
because they're paid direct money, direct cash money

4985
02:56:58,830 --> 02:57:01,150
to make sure all their patients have all

4986
02:57:01,150 --> 02:57:02,090
these vaccinations.

4987
02:57:02,090 --> 02:57:04,350
And it's a big, huge bonus and part

4988
02:57:04,350 --> 02:57:05,110
of their income.

4989
02:57:05,210 --> 02:57:06,750
It's very important to them.

4990
02:57:06,850 --> 02:57:08,390
So they're conflicted.

4991
02:57:08,530 --> 02:57:10,790
Don't you agree with that, Dr. Gounder?

4992
02:57:10,930 --> 02:57:11,990
Let's see if you're right.

4993
02:57:12,250 --> 02:57:12,410
Yeah.

4994
02:57:12,490 --> 02:57:15,250
So for the first time in decades, pediatricians

4995
02:57:15,250 --> 02:57:17,450
are putting out their own schedule because they

4996
02:57:17,450 --> 02:57:19,450
no longer trust the government's process.

4997
02:57:19,630 --> 02:57:22,650
So the CDC's Vaccine Advisory Committee, folks may

4998
02:57:22,650 --> 02:57:24,770
remember, was recently overhauled.

4999
02:57:24,770 --> 02:57:26,930
All members were dismissed.

5000
02:57:27,130 --> 02:57:30,490
And almost everyone who replaced those experts is

5001
02:57:30,490 --> 02:57:33,990
somebody who has spread disinformation about vaccines or

5002
02:57:33,990 --> 02:57:36,050
has expressed vaccine skepticism.

5003
02:57:36,610 --> 02:57:39,690
This has never happened under a previous Democratic

5004
02:57:39,690 --> 02:57:42,290
or Republican administration, that the process would be

5005
02:57:42,290 --> 02:57:43,530
politicized in this way.

5006
02:57:43,990 --> 02:57:46,330
And so the American Academy of Pediatrics is

5007
02:57:46,330 --> 02:57:48,050
saying, look, we want to stick to the

5008
02:57:48,050 --> 02:57:48,390
science.

5009
02:57:48,490 --> 02:57:50,290
We don't want to politicize process.

5010
02:57:50,490 --> 02:57:52,750
So now all of a sudden we have

5011
02:57:52,750 --> 02:57:54,230
to stick to that science.

5012
02:57:54,230 --> 02:57:56,770
But from the very same people who have

5013
02:57:56,770 --> 02:57:59,670
given your kids Ritalin, who have told your

5014
02:57:59,670 --> 02:58:01,930
kids that, oh, you know, they've told you,

5015
02:58:02,410 --> 02:58:04,910
well, it's better to have a daughter who's

5016
02:58:04,910 --> 02:58:07,090
alive or son who's alive than a daughter

5017
02:58:07,090 --> 02:58:08,030
who's dead.

5018
02:58:08,730 --> 02:58:10,370
The very same people.

5019
02:58:11,330 --> 02:58:11,950
The Academy.

5020
02:58:12,290 --> 02:58:13,890
Oh, I want to thank the Academy.

5021
02:58:14,570 --> 02:58:16,410
Oh, but what's a parent to do, doctor?

5022
02:58:16,690 --> 02:58:18,350
So if I'm a parent and I want

5023
02:58:18,350 --> 02:58:19,570
to know what to do...

5024
02:58:19,570 --> 02:58:20,150
Wait, wait, stop.

5025
02:58:21,330 --> 02:58:24,010
He didn't ask the question that I surmised?

5026
02:58:25,150 --> 02:58:26,330
No, funny.

5027
02:58:26,550 --> 02:58:29,250
He didn't ask a probing question, a valid

5028
02:58:29,250 --> 02:58:31,370
question that would actually make some sense and

5029
02:58:31,370 --> 02:58:33,910
educate the public that they're trying to serve?

5030
02:58:34,270 --> 02:58:37,110
This is not serving the public.

5031
02:58:37,510 --> 02:58:39,350
This is serving the advertiser.

5032
02:58:39,690 --> 02:58:41,230
So if I'm a parent and I want

5033
02:58:41,230 --> 02:58:43,210
to know what to do, fine, you guys

5034
02:58:43,210 --> 02:58:43,690
squabble.

5035
02:58:43,890 --> 02:58:45,330
What is a parent to do?

5036
02:58:45,730 --> 02:58:47,210
Don't do your own research.

5037
02:58:47,730 --> 02:58:50,710
Yeah, so the main area where the American

5038
02:58:50,710 --> 02:58:53,470
Academy of Pediatrics diverges so far with the

5039
02:58:53,470 --> 02:58:57,530
CDC, the CDC is no longer recommending routine

5040
02:58:57,530 --> 02:58:59,910
COVID vaccinations for healthy children.

5041
02:59:00,590 --> 02:59:03,950
Pediatricians, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, strongly

5042
02:59:03,950 --> 02:59:04,930
disagree with that.

5043
02:59:05,030 --> 02:59:08,070
And they are saying that all infants between

5044
02:59:08,070 --> 02:59:10,970
the ages of six months and two years

5045
02:59:10,970 --> 02:59:13,030
should be receiving a COVID vaccine.

5046
02:59:13,550 --> 02:59:15,750
The bottom line is that the risk in

5047
02:59:15,750 --> 02:59:17,390
infants is quite high.

5048
02:59:17,570 --> 02:59:19,990
And the first encounter with COVID should be

5049
02:59:19,990 --> 02:59:22,190
with the vaccine and not the virus.

5050
02:59:23,290 --> 02:59:26,610
Duh, what are you kidding me?

5051
02:59:26,710 --> 02:59:27,110
Listen to that.

5052
02:59:27,110 --> 02:59:28,170
Listen to that ending again.

5053
02:59:28,230 --> 02:59:29,930
That's very interesting what she says here.

5054
02:59:31,090 --> 02:59:34,190
Bottom line is that the risk in infants

5055
02:59:34,190 --> 02:59:35,250
is quite high.

5056
02:59:35,530 --> 02:59:37,850
And the first encounter with COVID should be

5057
02:59:37,850 --> 02:59:40,070
with the vaccine and not the virus.

5058
02:59:40,230 --> 02:59:43,430
Their first encounter with COVID should be with

5059
02:59:43,430 --> 02:59:44,110
the vaccine.

5060
02:59:44,370 --> 02:59:46,370
What does the vaccine give you COVID?

5061
02:59:46,810 --> 02:59:47,870
Yeah, well, duh.

5062
02:59:48,590 --> 02:59:51,690
But more importantly, why doesn't he ask her

5063
02:59:51,690 --> 02:59:55,530
to clarify when she says, which we know

5064
02:59:55,530 --> 02:59:57,190
not to be true, that the risk for

5065
02:59:57,190 --> 03:00:00,510
infants and kids is high for catching COVID?

5066
03:00:01,630 --> 03:00:05,590
Why doesn't he say, John Dickerson say, what

5067
03:00:05,590 --> 03:00:07,170
exactly is the risk?

5068
03:00:07,550 --> 03:00:08,730
How many times are you going to pose

5069
03:00:08,730 --> 03:00:10,850
this question pretending that you don't know this

5070
03:00:10,850 --> 03:00:12,950
is a bought and paid for advertisement?

5071
03:00:13,110 --> 03:00:13,830
We know this.

5072
03:00:14,090 --> 03:00:14,930
This is obvious.

5073
03:00:15,170 --> 03:00:16,210
He's not a journalist.

5074
03:00:16,210 --> 03:00:17,810
He is a pitch man.

5075
03:00:18,270 --> 03:00:20,210
And they did this same segment.

5076
03:00:20,410 --> 03:00:22,390
That was the evening news.

5077
03:00:22,430 --> 03:00:23,750
They did it on the morning show.

5078
03:00:23,990 --> 03:00:25,850
In this morning's Health Watch, as kids are

5079
03:00:25,850 --> 03:00:28,070
going back to school, there's new guidance from

5080
03:00:28,070 --> 03:00:30,670
the American Academy of Pediatrics recommending that children

5081
03:00:30,670 --> 03:00:32,990
from six months to two years old get

5082
03:00:32,990 --> 03:00:33,610
a COVID shot.

5083
03:00:33,930 --> 03:00:36,410
Now, this contradicts the Centers for Disease Control

5084
03:00:36,410 --> 03:00:38,850
under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

5085
03:00:38,950 --> 03:00:41,710
Kennedy Jr., which does not recommend COVID shots

5086
03:00:41,710 --> 03:00:43,170
for any healthy children.

5087
03:00:43,170 --> 03:00:46,350
CBS News medical contributor Dr. Celine Gounder is

5088
03:00:46,350 --> 03:00:48,410
editor-at-large for Public Health at KFF

5089
03:00:48,410 --> 03:00:49,050
Health News.

5090
03:00:49,150 --> 03:00:49,790
And she joins me now.

5091
03:00:49,850 --> 03:00:50,190
Good morning.

5092
03:00:50,510 --> 03:00:50,650
Morning.

5093
03:00:50,870 --> 03:00:51,150
All right.

5094
03:00:51,230 --> 03:00:54,090
So why has the American Academy of Pediatrics

5095
03:00:54,090 --> 03:00:55,170
made this recommendation?

5096
03:00:55,690 --> 03:00:57,090
I think it's important to note that even

5097
03:00:57,090 --> 03:00:59,770
before the American Academy of Pediatrics made this

5098
03:00:59,770 --> 03:01:01,770
recommendation, there was a group brought together called

5099
03:01:01,770 --> 03:01:04,810
the Vaccine Integrity Project, which includes some of

5100
03:01:04,810 --> 03:01:07,430
the nation's top experts in vaccine science, as

5101
03:01:07,430 --> 03:01:10,430
well as representatives from the professional medical societies.

5102
03:01:10,430 --> 03:01:13,590
They combed through all of the evidence since

5103
03:01:13,590 --> 03:01:16,690
the last CDC review of vaccines to bring

5104
03:01:16,690 --> 03:01:18,170
their recommendations up to date.

5105
03:01:18,650 --> 03:01:21,510
And that review is what informs the American

5106
03:01:21,510 --> 03:01:23,830
Academy of Pediatrics' newest recommendations.

5107
03:01:24,430 --> 03:01:27,330
And that affirms that the vaccines are safe

5108
03:01:27,330 --> 03:01:28,190
and effective.

5109
03:01:28,630 --> 03:01:30,890
Children or infants, really, between the ages.

5110
03:01:30,930 --> 03:01:32,410
Is she talking about the fee schedule?

5111
03:01:33,110 --> 03:01:35,430
Yes, it's safe and effective and profitable.

5112
03:01:35,630 --> 03:01:37,770
Six months and two years are those at

5113
03:01:37,770 --> 03:01:40,710
highest risk for complications from COVID, whether that's

5114
03:01:40,710 --> 03:01:44,310
hospitalization, ICU, because they have smaller airways.

5115
03:01:44,470 --> 03:01:46,690
Their immune systems are not fully developed.

5116
03:01:46,890 --> 03:01:48,270
And by the way, under two, we may

5117
03:01:48,270 --> 03:01:51,530
not even know if they have immunocompromising or

5118
03:01:51,530 --> 03:01:53,950
other underlying medical conditions that put them at

5119
03:01:53,950 --> 03:01:54,050
risk.

5120
03:01:54,050 --> 03:01:54,470
That's right.

5121
03:01:54,590 --> 03:01:54,910
Jab.

5122
03:01:54,990 --> 03:01:56,430
If they're under two, jab them up.

5123
03:01:56,510 --> 03:01:58,730
And the same script comes out again.

5124
03:01:58,850 --> 03:01:59,110
All right.

5125
03:01:59,170 --> 03:02:00,970
So parents are stuck in the middle because

5126
03:02:00,970 --> 03:02:02,910
this guidance conflicts with the CDC's.

5127
03:02:02,950 --> 03:02:04,470
What are you to do as a parent?

5128
03:02:04,550 --> 03:02:05,290
What am I going to do?

5129
03:02:05,490 --> 03:02:06,090
I stopped vaccinating.

5130
03:02:06,330 --> 03:02:07,090
I'm so confused.

5131
03:02:07,130 --> 03:02:08,870
You've confused me, CBS people.

5132
03:02:08,870 --> 03:02:10,050
Children against COVID.

5133
03:02:10,170 --> 03:02:11,590
So who should parents listen to?

5134
03:02:14,110 --> 03:02:15,150
The science.

5135
03:02:15,610 --> 03:02:17,970
I mean, look, the American Academy of Pediatrics

5136
03:02:17,970 --> 03:02:22,110
represents over 67,000 pediatricians across the country.

5137
03:02:22,290 --> 03:02:24,010
These are the people who actually see these

5138
03:02:24,010 --> 03:02:25,310
children every day.

5139
03:02:25,870 --> 03:02:27,090
And cash the checks.

5140
03:02:27,410 --> 03:02:30,250
Unfortunately, the federal guidance has now been shaped

5141
03:02:30,250 --> 03:02:32,010
by politics and ideology.

5142
03:02:32,210 --> 03:02:33,510
Some people will try to wow.

5143
03:02:34,030 --> 03:02:35,090
Wow, lady.

5144
03:02:35,230 --> 03:02:35,770
Wow.

5145
03:02:36,070 --> 03:02:37,870
Politics and ideology.

5146
03:02:37,870 --> 03:02:39,370
What's the ideology here?

5147
03:02:39,970 --> 03:02:40,810
What's the ideology?

5148
03:02:42,150 --> 03:02:44,370
This is this is these people are not

5149
03:02:44,370 --> 03:02:45,130
serving the public.

5150
03:02:45,270 --> 03:02:45,990
You pointed it out.

5151
03:02:46,150 --> 03:02:47,870
And they will say that high quality studies

5152
03:02:47,870 --> 03:02:48,970
are flawed.

5153
03:02:49,490 --> 03:02:51,870
They will call for gold standard science, which

5154
03:02:51,870 --> 03:02:53,690
is in reality, garbage science.

5155
03:02:53,970 --> 03:02:56,130
They will say that this is a commercial

5156
03:02:56,130 --> 03:02:57,970
interest ahead of public health.

5157
03:02:58,110 --> 03:02:58,990
When in fact.

5158
03:02:59,210 --> 03:02:59,670
Wow.

5159
03:03:00,210 --> 03:03:03,790
But you said yourself, this is putting commercial

5160
03:03:03,790 --> 03:03:05,810
interests ahead of public health.

5161
03:03:05,810 --> 03:03:08,130
Yes, exactly what you're doing.

5162
03:03:08,230 --> 03:03:09,690
And they will say that this is about

5163
03:03:09,690 --> 03:03:12,230
putting commercial interests ahead of public health.

5164
03:03:12,650 --> 03:03:14,490
When in fact, this is the first stop,

5165
03:03:14,590 --> 03:03:15,590
stop, stop, stop.

5166
03:03:16,150 --> 03:03:17,690
What specifically?

5167
03:03:18,210 --> 03:03:19,950
I'm sure this guy will ask.

5168
03:03:20,210 --> 03:03:21,730
But what specifically?

5169
03:03:23,110 --> 03:03:29,470
What specifically are the commercial interests that she's

5170
03:03:29,470 --> 03:03:32,730
talking about that they're putting ahead of public

5171
03:03:32,730 --> 03:03:32,950
health?

5172
03:03:33,170 --> 03:03:36,530
Who is who is profiting from that?

5173
03:03:36,570 --> 03:03:40,570
What what commercial interest is profiting from not

5174
03:03:40,570 --> 03:03:42,750
giving a kid a covid shot?

5175
03:03:42,850 --> 03:03:44,810
Well, if you listen, if you listen to

5176
03:03:44,810 --> 03:03:45,170
this.

5177
03:03:46,090 --> 03:03:49,850
She's saying that they are saying, i.e.

5178
03:03:49,910 --> 03:03:52,730
RFK Jr., the way I understood it, RFK

5179
03:03:52,730 --> 03:03:56,890
Jr. is saying you're putting commercial interests ahead

5180
03:03:56,890 --> 03:03:57,670
of health.

5181
03:03:58,310 --> 03:04:00,290
And that would be twofold.

5182
03:04:00,290 --> 03:04:03,130
One, the doctors who are.

5183
03:04:03,210 --> 03:04:04,810
You know, I thought she said that they're

5184
03:04:04,810 --> 03:04:06,450
that's the RFK position.

5185
03:04:06,530 --> 03:04:06,990
Let's listen.

5186
03:04:07,170 --> 03:04:09,510
OK, they will call for gold standard science,

5187
03:04:09,530 --> 03:04:11,490
which is in reality garbage science.

5188
03:04:11,890 --> 03:04:13,290
And they will say that this is about

5189
03:04:13,290 --> 03:04:15,810
putting commercial interests ahead of public health.

5190
03:04:16,250 --> 03:04:18,150
They will say that this is about putting

5191
03:04:18,150 --> 03:04:20,750
commercial interests ahead of public health.

5192
03:04:20,810 --> 03:04:23,730
The commercial interests are the shot guys shot.

5193
03:04:23,890 --> 03:04:27,590
And Celine Gounder with her advertisement for Big

5194
03:04:27,590 --> 03:04:29,350
Pharma right here on CBS.

5195
03:04:29,350 --> 03:04:32,110
When in fact, this is the first administration,

5196
03:04:32,550 --> 03:04:36,250
Republican or Democratic, to have politicized vaccine recommendations

5197
03:04:36,250 --> 03:04:37,390
in this way ever.

5198
03:04:38,330 --> 03:04:38,850
Politicized.

5199
03:04:39,030 --> 03:04:39,470
Politicized.

5200
03:04:39,470 --> 03:04:40,390
What's the point?

5201
03:04:40,570 --> 03:04:42,030
I don't get the politics part.

5202
03:04:42,350 --> 03:04:44,150
Well, she's politicizing it.

5203
03:04:44,210 --> 03:04:45,690
This is all what you say by yourself.

5204
03:04:45,890 --> 03:04:47,230
And there was a third bit here to

5205
03:04:47,230 --> 03:04:49,810
this morning segment that I could not resist

5206
03:04:49,810 --> 03:04:51,330
clipping for us.

5207
03:04:51,430 --> 03:04:55,010
The vaccine advisory committee recently limited use of

5208
03:04:55,010 --> 03:04:56,830
a preservative called thermosol.

5209
03:04:56,830 --> 03:04:59,550
Yeah, it's thimerosol, you dork.

5210
03:05:00,310 --> 03:05:00,910
Thermosol.

5211
03:05:04,710 --> 03:05:05,910
Thermostat, thermosol.

5212
03:05:06,090 --> 03:05:09,570
The vaccine advisory committee recently limited use of

5213
03:05:09,570 --> 03:05:12,830
a preservative called thermosol and is now looking

5214
03:05:12,830 --> 03:05:14,170
at other chemicals and vaccines.

5215
03:05:14,470 --> 03:05:16,330
Why are these part of the vaccine?

5216
03:05:16,470 --> 03:05:17,630
What's their use?

5217
03:05:17,990 --> 03:05:20,110
So thimerosol is a form of mercury.

5218
03:05:20,250 --> 03:05:22,130
Now people hear mercury and they think, oh,

5219
03:05:22,150 --> 03:05:22,830
that's dangerous.

5220
03:05:23,170 --> 03:05:25,490
We're talking about a specific form of mercury,

5221
03:05:25,730 --> 03:05:28,330
ethyl mercury, which is not the dangerous form.

5222
03:05:28,450 --> 03:05:31,230
The dangerous form is methyl mercury with an

5223
03:05:31,230 --> 03:05:31,570
M.

5224
03:05:31,830 --> 03:05:32,270
So MM.

5225
03:05:33,030 --> 03:05:36,350
And routine childhood vaccines have actually been thimerosol

5226
03:05:36,350 --> 03:05:37,830
free for years now.

5227
03:05:37,870 --> 03:05:39,550
So it's not really even an issue.

5228
03:05:39,770 --> 03:05:41,710
Now, what do you think she'll say next?

5229
03:05:42,070 --> 03:05:43,610
What do you think she'll say next?

5230
03:05:44,690 --> 03:05:48,590
By the way, the methylmercury, I have some

5231
03:05:48,590 --> 03:05:49,570
quibbles about that.

5232
03:05:49,870 --> 03:05:51,610
Any mercury salt is bad.

5233
03:05:51,690 --> 03:05:53,110
Please quibble away.

5234
03:05:53,250 --> 03:05:55,570
I want to hear ethylmercury versus methylmercury.

5235
03:05:55,570 --> 03:05:56,930
It's a bad actor.

5236
03:05:57,150 --> 03:06:00,590
But any mercury salt, elemental mercury is not

5237
03:06:00,590 --> 03:06:04,650
bad necessarily, unless it can be metabolized in

5238
03:06:04,650 --> 03:06:06,290
some way, but it generally can't.

5239
03:06:06,970 --> 03:06:09,570
But any salts, the salts are the things

5240
03:06:09,570 --> 03:06:12,230
that the body can absorb and cause poisoning.

5241
03:06:12,610 --> 03:06:15,350
And what is the thimerosol used for?

5242
03:06:16,310 --> 03:06:17,690
It's used for preservatives.

5243
03:06:18,570 --> 03:06:19,750
Yes, preservatives.

5244
03:06:19,850 --> 03:06:20,810
But now wait for it.

5245
03:06:20,990 --> 03:06:22,070
So big picture, if you're going to worry

5246
03:06:22,070 --> 03:06:24,810
about methylmercury, worry about broken thermometers and those

5247
03:06:24,810 --> 03:06:27,070
skin lightening creams, not about the vaccines.

5248
03:06:27,830 --> 03:06:30,810
Now, aluminum is another one Kennedy has also

5249
03:06:30,810 --> 03:06:31,750
been concerned about.

5250
03:06:32,770 --> 03:06:35,170
Aluminum nudges the immune system so that you

5251
03:06:35,170 --> 03:06:38,590
get a longer lasting, more robust immune response

5252
03:06:38,590 --> 03:06:39,830
with fewer doses.

5253
03:06:40,110 --> 03:06:40,890
So that's a bonus.

5254
03:06:40,910 --> 03:06:42,790
And there's no evidence that it's harmful.

5255
03:06:43,090 --> 03:06:43,830
No evidence.

5256
03:06:45,970 --> 03:06:47,830
Aluminum, do you think that's a good thing

5257
03:06:47,830 --> 03:06:48,850
to have in your vaccines?

5258
03:06:49,670 --> 03:06:50,130
No.

5259
03:06:50,130 --> 03:06:53,010
And what she didn't say is it's an

5260
03:06:53,010 --> 03:06:53,630
adjuvant.

5261
03:06:53,950 --> 03:06:55,330
Yeah, she didn't use the term.

5262
03:06:55,570 --> 03:06:58,190
It kind of tickles your immune system, you

5263
03:06:58,190 --> 03:06:59,010
know, to get you going.

5264
03:06:59,130 --> 03:07:00,170
Yeah, because it's toxic.

5265
03:07:00,450 --> 03:07:02,170
Yes, that's exactly why.

5266
03:07:02,810 --> 03:07:03,610
These people.

5267
03:07:04,050 --> 03:07:05,870
Oh man, oh man, oh man.

5268
03:07:06,270 --> 03:07:07,930
Well, you can talk all you want.

5269
03:07:07,970 --> 03:07:08,890
You're blue in the face.

5270
03:07:21,170 --> 03:07:22,450
In the morning.

5271
03:07:22,770 --> 03:07:24,330
Well, even though we don't have their actual

5272
03:07:24,330 --> 03:07:26,750
names, then we hope to have them very

5273
03:07:26,750 --> 03:07:27,050
soon.

5274
03:07:27,090 --> 03:07:30,170
And we'll gladly go back and proclaim them

5275
03:07:30,170 --> 03:07:32,250
properly as secretary generals.

5276
03:07:32,350 --> 03:07:33,710
We do have a couple of those coming

5277
03:07:33,710 --> 03:07:33,930
up.

5278
03:07:33,990 --> 03:07:35,390
Thanks to the donors from today.

5279
03:07:36,070 --> 03:07:38,250
Also, we have our meetup schedule.

5280
03:07:38,350 --> 03:07:39,350
We've got a ton of birthdays.

5281
03:07:39,570 --> 03:07:40,890
We have John's tip of the day.

5282
03:07:41,030 --> 03:07:41,770
A lot of birthdays.

5283
03:07:42,010 --> 03:07:42,650
A lot of birthdays.

5284
03:07:42,810 --> 03:07:44,370
But first, we want to thank all of

5285
03:07:44,370 --> 03:07:48,410
our treasure supporters, $50 and above.

5286
03:07:49,970 --> 03:07:51,530
Yes, Nathan Cochran.

5287
03:07:51,970 --> 03:07:54,830
Well, actually, Nathan, we've got two Nathans, two

5288
03:07:54,830 --> 03:07:55,250
in a row.

5289
03:07:55,770 --> 03:08:00,010
Nathan Treywick in San Antone, $190.

5290
03:08:00,350 --> 03:08:02,730
Just came in under the $200 mark for

5291
03:08:02,730 --> 03:08:03,290
some reason.

5292
03:08:03,890 --> 03:08:05,930
Nathan Cochran, Franklin, Tennessee.

5293
03:08:06,410 --> 03:08:07,670
One, two, three, four, five.

5294
03:08:07,690 --> 03:08:08,570
You know where he's from.

5295
03:08:09,170 --> 03:08:10,390
Yeah, he's from Mercy Me.

5296
03:08:10,510 --> 03:08:11,670
Yes, exactly.

5297
03:08:12,310 --> 03:08:12,790
That's right.

5298
03:08:12,830 --> 03:08:16,110
Yeah, he's one of the many famous people.

5299
03:08:16,330 --> 03:08:16,590
Yes.

5300
03:08:16,590 --> 03:08:18,130
That like to listen to the No Agenda

5301
03:08:18,130 --> 03:08:21,810
Show to give them a leg up in

5302
03:08:21,810 --> 03:08:24,510
any sort of personal debate with anybody in

5303
03:08:24,510 --> 03:08:24,870
the world.

5304
03:08:24,910 --> 03:08:26,810
And the guys, they discuss it on the

5305
03:08:26,810 --> 03:08:27,190
tour bus.

5306
03:08:27,250 --> 03:08:28,970
They discuss the show on the tour bus.

5307
03:08:30,350 --> 03:08:31,010
They do.

5308
03:08:31,330 --> 03:08:32,610
That's how they pass the time.

5309
03:08:32,830 --> 03:08:34,410
Like, did you hear what the boys said?

5310
03:08:35,050 --> 03:08:35,770
What'd they say?

5311
03:08:36,630 --> 03:08:37,730
Yes, that's what they do.

5312
03:08:38,490 --> 03:08:39,530
Dame Rita, there she is.

5313
03:08:39,570 --> 03:08:41,430
She's in Sparks, Nevada, 10821.

5314
03:08:41,570 --> 03:08:42,070
I'll read her notes.

5315
03:08:42,070 --> 03:08:43,570
I'm sorry, I need to interrupt.

5316
03:08:43,570 --> 03:08:47,130
They just recently, we should consider this, they

5317
03:08:47,130 --> 03:08:50,130
did a Mercy Me Alaskan cruise.

5318
03:08:51,770 --> 03:08:52,250
Yeah.

5319
03:08:52,490 --> 03:08:54,650
Where you can join the Alaskan cruise.

5320
03:08:55,250 --> 03:08:55,570
Yeah.

5321
03:08:55,870 --> 03:08:57,190
That sounds like a moneymaker.

5322
03:08:58,090 --> 03:08:58,790
Yeah, it does.

5323
03:08:58,850 --> 03:09:00,530
I've had other people suggest this.

5324
03:09:00,710 --> 03:09:01,710
Do we want to do that?

5325
03:09:02,410 --> 03:09:03,530
We'll talk about it.

5326
03:09:05,990 --> 03:09:07,990
I'm thinking no, but okay.

5327
03:09:08,010 --> 03:09:09,730
I didn't expect you to say we'll talk

5328
03:09:09,730 --> 03:09:10,250
about it.

5329
03:09:10,310 --> 03:09:10,690
All right.

5330
03:09:11,350 --> 03:09:11,790
Onward.

5331
03:09:12,790 --> 03:09:14,890
10821 from Dame Rita.

5332
03:09:15,010 --> 03:09:15,810
I'm going to read her note.

5333
03:09:16,450 --> 03:09:17,990
ITM, John and Adam, thank you for your

5334
03:09:17,990 --> 03:09:22,390
valuable skills in media deconstruction, for exposing unfounded

5335
03:09:22,390 --> 03:09:25,470
claims by opportunistic actors.

5336
03:09:26,090 --> 03:09:27,870
Of course, your great humor always helps.

5337
03:09:28,050 --> 03:09:32,510
Also, happy 64th birthday to my husband, Greg

5338
03:09:32,510 --> 03:09:35,150
Harrington, on August 23rd.

5339
03:09:35,210 --> 03:09:37,010
And he is on the list.

5340
03:09:40,650 --> 03:09:44,890
Rick Justesen, Justesen, Justesen, maybe, in Salt Lake

5341
03:09:44,890 --> 03:09:45,170
City.

5342
03:09:45,610 --> 03:09:46,030
100.

5343
03:09:48,070 --> 03:09:50,230
He's been a five-year-long listener.

5344
03:09:50,550 --> 03:09:52,050
Doug Murray, Douglas Murray.

5345
03:09:52,330 --> 03:09:53,650
Douglas Murray, there you go.

5346
03:09:54,090 --> 03:09:58,930
99.99. Happy birthday to the Cotton Gin.

5347
03:09:59,490 --> 03:10:02,770
All right.

5348
03:10:02,910 --> 03:10:03,610
Oh, brother.

5349
03:10:03,970 --> 03:10:04,910
No, not the.

5350
03:10:04,970 --> 03:10:06,270
Happy birthday, Cotton Gin.

5351
03:10:06,390 --> 03:10:07,010
Cotton Gin?

5352
03:10:07,450 --> 03:10:08,710
Is it Cotton Gin's birthday?

5353
03:10:10,210 --> 03:10:11,450
Well, it's on the list.

5354
03:10:11,570 --> 03:10:13,050
Well, I got to put Cotton Gin on

5355
03:10:13,050 --> 03:10:14,830
the birthday list, then.

5356
03:10:15,210 --> 03:10:16,870
Well, it's probably on there.

5357
03:10:17,030 --> 03:10:17,250
Yeah.

5358
03:10:17,350 --> 03:10:18,250
Oh, it is on there.

5359
03:10:18,310 --> 03:10:18,770
Yes, good.

5360
03:10:18,910 --> 03:10:19,610
Happy birthday.

5361
03:10:19,850 --> 03:10:25,090
Cotton Gin does a lot on the stream.

5362
03:10:25,770 --> 03:10:26,310
Oh, okay.

5363
03:10:26,350 --> 03:10:27,490
Important part of the world.

5364
03:10:28,590 --> 03:10:29,470
Mongasaurus Rex.

5365
03:10:30,550 --> 03:10:31,670
Mongasaurus, I get it now.

5366
03:10:31,830 --> 03:10:35,350
Mongasaurus Rex in Kailua, Hawaii.

5367
03:10:36,430 --> 03:10:36,870
8888.

5368
03:10:36,870 --> 03:10:39,010
That's a birthday call-out to his smoking

5369
03:10:39,010 --> 03:10:39,990
hot wife, Bunny.

5370
03:10:40,450 --> 03:10:40,910
Bunny.

5371
03:10:41,290 --> 03:10:41,710
Bunny.

5372
03:10:43,970 --> 03:10:46,270
Jobs Karma to end for him, if we

5373
03:10:46,270 --> 03:10:46,850
can remember.

5374
03:10:47,550 --> 03:10:51,710
Jacob Van Doysen in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

5375
03:10:52,170 --> 03:10:54,170
That's 8833.

5376
03:10:54,730 --> 03:10:58,990
And that's another call-out for Colby.

5377
03:10:59,410 --> 03:11:00,530
Another birthday call-out.

5378
03:11:00,670 --> 03:11:01,050
Colby.

5379
03:11:02,830 --> 03:11:05,470
Eric Mackey, M-A-K-E-Y, in

5380
03:11:05,470 --> 03:11:08,150
Blainesville, Georgia.

5381
03:11:10,130 --> 03:11:10,570
8087.

5382
03:11:11,930 --> 03:11:14,730
A lot of oddball notes that appear with

5383
03:11:14,730 --> 03:11:16,130
these areas.

5384
03:11:16,270 --> 03:11:17,670
It's funds for our new server.

5385
03:11:17,770 --> 03:11:19,110
He's helping us with the cost of the

5386
03:11:19,110 --> 03:11:19,550
new server.

5387
03:11:19,650 --> 03:11:20,610
Oh, that's how we get...

5388
03:11:20,610 --> 03:11:21,310
Oh, brother.

5389
03:11:21,870 --> 03:11:22,210
I know.

5390
03:11:22,990 --> 03:11:24,770
Kevin McLaughlin, 8008.

5391
03:11:24,850 --> 03:11:27,750
He is the Archduke Luna of Luna.

5392
03:11:28,010 --> 03:11:29,970
Lover of America and lover of melons.

5393
03:11:30,910 --> 03:11:32,950
Chad Hewitt in Folsom, California.

5394
03:11:32,990 --> 03:11:35,150
And he came with 8008, obviously.

5395
03:11:35,810 --> 03:11:37,650
Chad Hewitt in Folsom, California.

5396
03:11:37,810 --> 03:11:38,610
6640.

5397

03:12:21,670 --> 03:12:25,070
Scott Mengel, it could be Mengla, but I

5416
03:12:25,070 --> 03:12:25,670

03:13:23,370 --> 03:13:23,710
things.

In Netherlands.

5479
03:14:53,170 --> 03:14:54,010

Bernhardt Gruten.

5483
03:15:07,510 --> 03:15:11,330
And she's in Switzerland in St. Gallen, which

5484
03:15:11,330 --> 03:15:12,710
I believe is a skiing area.

5485
03:15:13,670 --> 03:15:14,270
I could be wrong.

5486
03:15:15,030 --> 03:15:15,590
Adam G.

5487
03:15:15,710 --> 03:15:16,510
Hurst in...

5488
03:15:16,510 --> 03:15:17,690
We love the Swiss.

5489
03:15:18,110 --> 03:15:18,350

5497
03:15:39,090 --> 03:15:39,410
Boom.

5498
03:15:39,570 --> 03:15:39,870
All right.

5499
03:15:40,870 --> 03:15:43,850

5504
03:15:48,210 --> 03:15:51,290
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

5505
03:15:51,430 --> 03:15:52,950
Let's vote for jobs.

5506
03:15:53,510 --> 03:15:54,950
You've got karma.

5507
03:15:55,010 --> 03:15:56,670
And a reminder that we never read anything

5508
03:15:56,670 --> 03:15:58,650
under 50 for reasons of anonymity, but we

5509
03:15:58,650 --> 03:15:59,890

03:16:58,430 --> 03:17:01,050

Happy birthday to him.

5542
03:17:10,170 --> 03:17:13,070
And not just from Douglas Murray, but from

5543
03:17:13,070 --> 03:17:14,350
myself and John as well.

5544
03:17:14,430 --> 03:17:15,970
Very happy birthday to Cotton Jensen.

5545
03:17:16,270 --> 03:17:18,250
And of course, happy birthday from everybody here.

5546
03:17:18,250 --> 03:17:20,510
The best podcast in the universe.

5547
03:17:22,350 --> 03:17:24,710
Now, I would like the back office to

5548
03:17:24,710 --> 03:17:25,290
take note.

5549
03:17:25,490 --> 03:17:27,530
We have four secretary generals.

5550
03:17:27,750 --> 03:17:29,090
We do not have their names yet.

5551
03:17:29,170 --> 03:17:32,130
So I will put together a special secretary

5552
03:17:32,130 --> 03:17:37,790
general award ceremony, music and effects, etc.

5553
03:17:37,870 --> 03:17:40,010
And we will come back to Steve Miller,

5554
03:17:40,450 --> 03:17:43,690
Peter Fantino, Skylar Firestone and Sir Ahab.

5555
03:17:44,150 --> 03:17:46,130
They might not have even known that they

5556
03:17:46,130 --> 03:17:48,490
were eligible for a secretary general because it

5557
03:17:48,490 --> 03:17:49,070
is $500.

5558
03:17:49,450 --> 03:17:51,230
They came in with $500 or more.

5559
03:17:51,790 --> 03:17:54,510
So we will let you know and or

5560
03:17:54,510 --> 03:17:55,350
you let us know.

5561
03:17:55,510 --> 03:18:00,850
And we will secretary generalize them post the

5562
03:18:00,850 --> 03:18:01,590
actual event.

5563
03:18:01,890 --> 03:18:02,890
Does that sound right?

5564
03:18:02,950 --> 03:18:03,470
I guess so.

5565
03:18:04,490 --> 03:18:05,350
It's going to be fun.

5566
03:18:05,470 --> 03:18:06,530
I think we'll have some really...

5567
03:18:06,530 --> 03:18:07,890
John Dickerson couldn't do better.

5568
03:18:08,250 --> 03:18:10,270
I think we'll have some very funny names

5569
03:18:10,270 --> 03:18:11,990
to be congratulated.

5570
03:18:12,950 --> 03:18:13,970
Tonight's ready to go.

5571
03:18:14,050 --> 03:18:15,290
If you got your blade, we'll bring him

5572
03:18:15,290 --> 03:18:15,950
up on the podium.

5573
03:18:16,770 --> 03:18:17,850
You got it right here.

5574
03:18:17,930 --> 03:18:18,810
Oh, you hit your head.

5575
03:18:21,230 --> 03:18:24,660
Oscar, Peter Fantino.

5576
03:18:24,800 --> 03:18:26,600
Both of you have supported the NOAA General

5577
03:18:26,600 --> 03:18:29,120
Show in enough funds.

5578
03:18:29,320 --> 03:18:31,200
That is $1,000 or more can be

5579
03:18:31,200 --> 03:18:33,140
an aggregate over any amount of time.

5580
03:18:33,560 --> 03:18:35,140
That makes you both Knights of the NOAA

5581
03:18:35,140 --> 03:18:35,780
General Roundtable.

5582
03:18:35,940 --> 03:18:37,600
I'm very happy and proud to pronounce the

5583
03:18:37,600 --> 03:18:41,720
KV as Knight Kurt of the Nongorongoro Crater.

5584
03:18:42,180 --> 03:18:44,200
Sir Peter, Jockey of the Mountains.

5585
03:18:44,380 --> 03:18:46,220
For you gentlemen, we have Hookers of Blue,

5586
03:18:46,220 --> 03:18:48,800
Rent Boys and Chardonnay, Beef Wellington, and a

5587
03:18:48,800 --> 03:18:52,020
Shaken Dirty Martini, Zebra Schnitzel, Hippo Hot Links,

5588
03:18:52,140 --> 03:18:54,280
a Pilsner or two, and one, just one,

5589
03:18:54,380 --> 03:18:56,900
Camel Filter Cigarette, along with that ginger ale

5590
03:18:56,900 --> 03:18:59,020
and gerbils, bong hits and bourbon, breast milk

5591
03:18:59,020 --> 03:19:00,920
and pablum, and of course mutton and meat.

5592
03:19:01,540 --> 03:19:03,980
And you can head on over to noagenderings

5593
03:19:03,980 --> 03:19:04,480
.com.

5594
03:19:04,540 --> 03:19:05,480
Take a look at those rings.

5595
03:19:05,560 --> 03:19:06,400
They are very handsome.

5596
03:19:06,540 --> 03:19:07,280
They are very beautiful.

5597
03:19:07,640 --> 03:19:09,180
And if you give us your ring size

5598
03:19:09,180 --> 03:19:10,920
and address to send them to, we'll send

5599
03:19:10,920 --> 03:19:13,500
it to you with some sticks of wax

5600
03:19:13,500 --> 03:19:15,780
with which you can use to, you know,

5601
03:19:16,600 --> 03:19:17,920
seal your important correspondence.

5602
03:19:18,100 --> 03:19:19,300
They are, after all, Cignet rings.

5603
03:19:19,800 --> 03:19:22,460
And it always comes accompanied with a Certificate

5604
03:19:22,460 --> 03:19:23,180
of Authenticity.

5605
03:19:23,400 --> 03:19:24,420
Congratulations to both of you.

5606
03:19:24,480 --> 03:19:26,200
And welcome to the No Agenda Roundtable.

5607
03:19:27,460 --> 03:19:30,400
No Agenda Meetups!

5608
03:19:36,220 --> 03:19:38,080
Yeah, the No Agenda Meetups, this is where

5609
03:19:38,080 --> 03:19:39,780
you find the connection that always gives you

5610
03:19:39,780 --> 03:19:40,220
protection.

5611
03:19:40,400 --> 03:19:41,740
And of course, it's where you will find

5612
03:19:41,740 --> 03:19:44,240
the first responders in an emergency in your

5613
03:19:44,240 --> 03:19:44,860
community.

5614
03:19:46,040 --> 03:19:48,880
No reports today, no promos, but I can

5615
03:19:48,880 --> 03:19:51,280
tell you that there's a Meetup in Charlotte,

5616
03:19:51,380 --> 03:19:54,140
North Carolina tonight, seven o'clock at Charlotte's

5617
03:19:54,140 --> 03:19:55,140
Thirsty Third Thursday.

5618
03:19:55,340 --> 03:19:56,360
That is at Ed's Tavern.

5619
03:19:56,920 --> 03:19:59,040
The Maastricht Meetup happens tomorrow.

5620
03:19:59,220 --> 03:20:00,890
That's in the Netherlands, seven o'clock at...

5621
03:20:01,980 --> 03:20:04,620
Actually, it's at the Everett Bopp's house.

5622
03:20:04,780 --> 03:20:06,280
So you want to RSVP for that.

5623
03:20:06,360 --> 03:20:08,020
He is the guy from Disaster Tech Labs

5624
03:20:08,020 --> 03:20:10,200
who is here helping out with the flood

5625
03:20:10,200 --> 03:20:11,460
relief in Texas.

5626
03:20:11,460 --> 03:20:15,740
On Saturday, we have the McKinney Media Mockery,

5627
03:20:15,860 --> 03:20:18,360
12.30. That's in McKinney, Texas at the

5628
03:20:18,360 --> 03:20:19,120
Pub in McKinney.

5629
03:20:19,200 --> 03:20:21,100
So that's an early one to get hammered.

5630
03:20:21,520 --> 03:20:23,640
And the Sorry It's Been So Long Meetup

5631
03:20:23,640 --> 03:20:26,400
in Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday at 6.30

5632
03:20:26,400 --> 03:20:29,260
in 56 Kitchen Mayfield Heights.

5633
03:20:29,820 --> 03:20:32,640
And finally, we have the Outback Steakhouse Beef

5634
03:20:32,640 --> 03:20:33,700
Tallow Meetup.

5635
03:20:33,880 --> 03:20:36,260
That's in Indianapolis or in Indiana.

5636
03:20:36,380 --> 03:20:39,780
I'm sorry, Carmel, Indiana at the Outback Steakhouse.

5637
03:20:39,920 --> 03:20:42,240
That'll be at 3.30. I think they

5638
03:20:42,240 --> 03:20:44,420
had only one or two people the last

5639
03:20:44,420 --> 03:20:44,680
time.

5640
03:20:44,820 --> 03:20:47,160
So if you're around Carmel, Indiana, go to

5641
03:20:47,160 --> 03:20:49,400
the Outback Steakhouse on our next show day.

5642
03:20:49,460 --> 03:20:52,160
That is Sunday, 3.30 in Indianapolis.

5643
03:20:52,200 --> 03:20:54,420
Just a few of the No Agenda Meetups

5644
03:20:54,420 --> 03:20:56,480
coming up in this month and the next

5645
03:20:56,480 --> 03:20:56,780
month.

5646
03:20:56,840 --> 03:20:58,780
There's many more to be found, including the

5647
03:20:58,780 --> 03:21:02,740
October 11th Fredericksburg Hill Country Meetup at J6er

5648
03:21:02,740 --> 03:21:04,200
Jenny's Bar, the Half Moon...

5649
03:21:04,960 --> 03:21:06,780
Not the Half Moon, the Full Moon Bed

5650
03:21:06,780 --> 03:21:08,320
and Breakfast at her bar there.

5651
03:21:08,700 --> 03:21:09,700
I will be there.

5652
03:21:09,700 --> 03:21:12,200
I think we'll get the Keeper out there

5653
03:21:12,200 --> 03:21:14,360
and then many more luminaries from the Texas

5654
03:21:14,360 --> 03:21:14,820
area.

5655
03:21:15,220 --> 03:21:17,500
Go to noagendameetups.com to find every single

5656
03:21:17,500 --> 03:21:18,380
thing that is listed.

5657
03:21:18,460 --> 03:21:19,800
And if you can't find one near you,

5658
03:21:20,100 --> 03:21:22,960
start one yourself at noagendameetups.com.

5659
03:21:40,740 --> 03:21:42,180
It's like a party.

5660
03:21:42,840 --> 03:21:44,220
Now, before we get to John's tip of

5661
03:21:44,220 --> 03:21:46,360
the day, we always like to show you

5662
03:21:46,360 --> 03:21:48,260
how the sausage is made in Media Land.

5663
03:21:48,340 --> 03:21:51,120
And we're going to do a little production

5664
03:21:51,120 --> 03:21:53,620
meeting here and we're going to select the

5665
03:21:53,620 --> 03:21:54,660
end of show ISO.

5666
03:21:55,000 --> 03:21:57,060
I actually have a lot of ISOs for

5667
03:21:57,060 --> 03:21:57,440
today.

5668
03:21:58,520 --> 03:22:00,460
So I'm going to roll through all of

5669
03:22:00,460 --> 03:22:02,640
them and then we'll...

5670
03:22:02,640 --> 03:22:03,640
Do you have an ISO at all?

5671
03:22:03,920 --> 03:22:06,460
I have two that are probably...

5672
03:22:06,460 --> 03:22:07,920
If you have a lot, you'll probably have

5673
03:22:07,920 --> 03:22:08,280
a killer.

5674
03:22:08,280 --> 03:22:09,760
Okay, let's see what we have.

5675
03:22:09,880 --> 03:22:11,680
I'm about to lose my mind.

5676
03:22:12,020 --> 03:22:13,200
Okay, all right.

5677
03:22:13,540 --> 03:22:14,020
No.

5678
03:22:14,160 --> 03:22:14,260
No.

5679
03:22:14,260 --> 03:22:14,860
Okay, no.

5680
03:22:15,100 --> 03:22:15,380
Eject.

5681
03:22:15,480 --> 03:22:16,980
This is not a children's program.

5682
03:22:19,280 --> 03:22:20,660
Now we love the voice.

5683
03:22:20,740 --> 03:22:20,900
Yeah.

5684
03:22:21,040 --> 03:22:22,820
This is not My Little Pony.

5685
03:22:24,700 --> 03:22:26,480
I kind of like that one.

5686
03:22:26,840 --> 03:22:27,440
I do too.

5687
03:22:27,920 --> 03:22:29,700
Authenticity and truth.

5688
03:22:30,280 --> 03:22:32,600
A little hollow, but okay.

5689
03:22:32,800 --> 03:22:34,560
These guys are completely natural.

5690
03:22:36,180 --> 03:22:37,760
And here we go with this.

5691
03:22:38,200 --> 03:22:40,820
You know, we get into it deep.

5692
03:22:41,920 --> 03:22:43,580
And then the final one.

5693
03:22:43,720 --> 03:22:45,400
Everyone pretend podcasting isn't boring.

5694
03:22:47,720 --> 03:22:49,000
And that's what I got.

5695
03:22:49,160 --> 03:22:50,820
So I think we both...

5696
03:22:50,820 --> 03:22:51,620
I'll keep it up here.

5697
03:22:51,720 --> 03:22:52,220
I think we...

5698
03:22:52,220 --> 03:22:54,420
No, we're just bumping mine to the next

5699
03:22:54,420 --> 03:22:54,660
show.

5700
03:22:54,840 --> 03:22:55,340
We like these.

5701
03:22:55,360 --> 03:22:57,080
This is not My Little Pony.

5702
03:22:57,260 --> 03:22:58,520
I kind of like that one.

5703
03:22:58,760 --> 03:22:59,300
You're bumping yours.

5704
03:22:59,640 --> 03:23:00,520
We have to go with that.

5705
03:23:00,620 --> 03:23:02,680
Okay, well, you've got a lozenge and we're

5706
03:23:02,680 --> 03:23:05,100
putting your ISOs in a band, which means

5707
03:23:05,100 --> 03:23:05,560
it's time.

5708
03:23:05,580 --> 03:23:07,040
I am in lozenge mode, yes.

5709
03:23:07,040 --> 03:23:09,640
Time everybody for John's tip of the day.

5710
03:23:21,100 --> 03:23:22,060
All right.

5711
03:23:22,860 --> 03:23:24,720
For everybody out there, it should be a

5712
03:23:24,720 --> 03:23:25,080
gardener.

5713
03:23:25,140 --> 03:23:26,700
If they're not, they should have potted plants

5714
03:23:26,700 --> 03:23:28,020
somewhere in their apartment.

5715
03:23:28,160 --> 03:23:30,400
You should be a gardener or just learn

5716
03:23:30,400 --> 03:23:31,020
how to code.

5717
03:23:33,810 --> 03:23:36,650
So the tip of the day are terracotta

5718
03:23:36,650 --> 03:23:38,010
watering spikes.

5719
03:23:39,530 --> 03:23:40,990
You can just Google it.

5720
03:23:43,030 --> 03:23:44,410
Terracotta watering spikes.

5721
03:23:44,530 --> 03:23:45,870
They have them all over the place.

5722
03:23:45,990 --> 03:23:46,390
They sell them there.

5723
03:23:46,470 --> 03:23:48,530
It looks like a giant carrot and you

5724
03:23:48,530 --> 03:23:50,050
fill them with water and they water the

5725
03:23:50,050 --> 03:23:50,270
plant.

5726
03:23:50,330 --> 03:23:52,370
You put a bottle of water in the

5727
03:23:52,370 --> 03:23:57,250
top hole and it'll water plants without you

5728
03:23:57,250 --> 03:23:58,350
having to attend to them.

5729
03:23:58,450 --> 03:23:59,790
In case you're on vacation, you take a

5730
03:23:59,790 --> 03:24:02,410
week off, you go someplace for the weekend,

5731
03:24:02,490 --> 03:24:03,870
you have a plant that needs watering.

5732
03:24:04,430 --> 03:24:05,410
This takes care of it.

5733
03:24:05,430 --> 03:24:06,930
It's a very good tip.

5734
03:24:07,050 --> 03:24:07,890
How does it function?

5735
03:24:09,250 --> 03:24:12,130
Well, it turns out that it leaks.

5736
03:24:13,970 --> 03:24:17,190
There's all these different mechanisms for watering plants.

5737
03:24:17,410 --> 03:24:19,730
So what you don't, because most people get

5738
03:24:19,730 --> 03:24:23,890
on Amazon, they'll buy some internet of things,

5739
03:24:23,890 --> 03:24:26,670
connected watering hose thing.

5740
03:24:26,910 --> 03:24:27,490
You don't want that?

5741
03:24:27,530 --> 03:24:28,590
Why do we not want that?

5742
03:24:29,050 --> 03:24:30,830
Because what happens if the net goes down?

5743
03:24:31,310 --> 03:24:33,350
What happens if you have your rotary boots?

5744
03:24:33,790 --> 03:24:34,450
It's nonsense.

5745
03:24:35,130 --> 03:24:39,670
Just have some simple device, a terracotta, T

5746
03:24:39,670 --> 03:24:41,430
-E-R-R-A-C-O-T-T

5747
03:24:41,430 --> 03:24:43,050
-A, watering spike.

5748
03:24:43,570 --> 03:24:44,770
There's a bunch of people that make them.

5749
03:24:44,830 --> 03:24:45,970
And the ones you want to look like

5750
03:24:45,970 --> 03:24:48,950
a carrot and you can stick up, you

5751
03:24:48,950 --> 03:24:50,750
soak them first and stick them in the

5752
03:24:50,750 --> 03:24:52,930
ground and then stick a water bottle in

5753
03:24:52,930 --> 03:24:53,510
the top.

5754
03:24:54,510 --> 03:24:55,970
Fill with water and it'll drain.

5755
03:24:56,630 --> 03:24:59,990
As the soil gets dry, it'll leak out

5756
03:24:59,990 --> 03:25:02,930
the water very slowly and keep the plant

5757
03:25:02,930 --> 03:25:04,230
from dropping dead.

5758
03:25:04,230 --> 03:25:04,950
Huh.

5759
03:25:05,750 --> 03:25:07,070
That is a very good tip.

5760
03:25:07,150 --> 03:25:07,830
I like that.

5761
03:25:09,310 --> 03:25:10,110
That is cool.

5762
03:25:10,430 --> 03:25:12,210
That's an old school analog.

5763
03:25:12,290 --> 03:25:13,210
How long will it last?

5764
03:25:13,290 --> 03:25:15,550
I mean, how much water do you, how

5765
03:25:15,550 --> 03:25:17,250
long will the water last from the bottle

5766
03:25:17,250 --> 03:25:18,190
that you put into it?

5767
03:25:18,510 --> 03:25:19,070
I don't know.

5768
03:25:19,130 --> 03:25:20,430
I've never run out of water.

5769
03:25:20,810 --> 03:25:22,650
You've never been out of the house for

5770
03:25:22,650 --> 03:25:23,430
more than three hours.

5771
03:25:23,450 --> 03:25:24,570
I don't go out of the house.

5772
03:25:24,730 --> 03:25:25,410
I stay here.

5773
03:25:25,850 --> 03:25:26,610
All right, everybody.

5774
03:25:26,770 --> 03:25:28,470
You can find them all on tipoftheday.net,

5775
03:25:28,650 --> 03:25:29,710
John's Tip of the Day.

5776
03:25:39,050 --> 03:25:40,770
There you go, everybody.

5777
03:25:40,910 --> 03:25:43,790
That does it for another three and a

5778
03:25:43,790 --> 03:25:45,490
half hours of media deconstruction.

5779
03:25:45,590 --> 03:25:47,010
Just for you, for your pleasure.

5780
03:25:47,170 --> 03:25:49,150
We are working for you as a public

5781
03:25:49,150 --> 03:25:53,830
service, not for big pharma, not for some

5782
03:25:53,830 --> 03:25:58,810
ghoulish industry and certainly not for the podcast

5783
03:25:58,810 --> 03:26:00,290
industrial complex.

5784
03:26:00,930 --> 03:26:01,510
No siree.

5785
03:26:02,530 --> 03:26:05,090
Keep it right here on the stream if

5786
03:26:05,090 --> 03:26:06,830
you're listening in the modern podcast app or

5787
03:26:06,830 --> 03:26:12,570
trollroom.io or noagenda.stream. We have Abs

5788
03:26:12,570 --> 03:26:14,450
in a Six Pack coming up next on

5789
03:26:14,450 --> 03:26:14,950
the stream.

5790
03:26:15,410 --> 03:26:17,530
It's always a fun show to listen to.

5791
03:26:18,290 --> 03:26:22,110
And of course, we will return on Sunday

5792
03:26:22,110 --> 03:26:23,790
with more of your media deconstruction.

5793
03:26:23,910 --> 03:26:25,370
End of show isos.

5794
03:26:25,590 --> 03:26:27,230
I mean, end of show mixes.

5795
03:26:27,890 --> 03:26:33,890
Sir Michael Anthony, Neil Jones times two with

5796
03:26:33,890 --> 03:26:35,630
a classic and a brand new one.

5797
03:26:36,210 --> 03:26:37,750
And I am coming to you from the

5798
03:26:37,750 --> 03:26:40,630
heart of the Texas Hill Country in little

5799
03:26:40,630 --> 03:26:42,590
old Fredericksburg, Texas.

5800
03:26:43,130 --> 03:26:43,990
In the morning, everybody.

5801
03:26:44,310 --> 03:26:45,110
I'm Adam Curry.

5802
03:26:45,410 --> 03:26:48,190
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain,

5803
03:26:48,370 --> 03:26:48,970
I'm John C.

5804
03:26:49,050 --> 03:26:49,410
Dvorak.

5805
03:26:49,530 --> 03:26:50,550
We return on Sunday.

5806
03:26:50,690 --> 03:26:51,690
Won't you join us?

5807
03:26:52,290 --> 03:26:53,990
Same time, same bat channel.

5808
03:26:54,150 --> 03:26:56,950
And always remember us at noagendadonations.com.

5809
03:26:56,950 --> 03:27:01,970
Until then, adios, mofos, hui hui, and such.

5810
03:27:29,980 --> 03:27:39,220
This was straight out of Putin's

5811
03:27:39,220 --> 03:27:40,170
playbook.

5812
03:27:43,030 --> 03:27:47,630
Putin's playbook's playbook's playbook's playbook's playbook's playbook's.

5813
03:27:47,950 --> 03:27:49,570
Well, we know this is definitely part of

5814
03:27:49,570 --> 03:27:50,450
the Russian playbook.

5815
03:27:53,230 --> 03:27:56,470
Russian playbook's playbook's playbook's playbook's.

5816
03:27:56,470 --> 03:27:58,990
And the Russian, the Russian philosophy, the Russian

5817
03:27:58,990 --> 03:28:00,170
playbook will not change.

5818
03:28:00,290 --> 03:28:01,730
So I think that is the Russian playbook.

5819
03:28:01,870 --> 03:28:04,330
It is part of the Russian playbook.

5820
03:28:04,490 --> 03:28:05,790
The tactics look familiar.

5821
03:28:06,050 --> 03:28:07,730
Like a page from Russia's playbook.

5822
03:28:07,850 --> 03:28:10,190
Because of what he called Russia's playbook on

5823
03:28:10,190 --> 03:28:11,050
murdering people.

5824
03:28:11,050 --> 03:28:13,870
Clearly Russia benefits the most from this.

5825
03:28:13,970 --> 03:28:16,090
And it does fit the Russian playbook.

5826
03:28:16,870 --> 03:28:17,910
The Russian playbook.

5827
03:28:19,310 --> 03:28:20,250
Russian playbook.

5828
03:28:23,310 --> 03:28:24,750
Russian playbook.

5829
03:28:26,390 --> 03:28:27,690
Russia's playbook.

5830
03:28:29,210 --> 03:28:31,710
But what Putin is doing in Ukraine is

5831
03:28:31,710 --> 03:28:33,790
actually straight out of a Russian military pilot's

5832
03:28:33,790 --> 03:28:34,250
playbook.

5833
03:28:41,230 --> 03:28:46,530
When the Republican Party adopts Russia's authoritarian playbook.

5834
03:28:50,310 --> 03:28:54,590
Distinguished guests, men and women of the finest

5835
03:28:54,590 --> 03:28:55,650
military in the world.

5836
03:28:57,010 --> 03:29:03,690
Most of all, Admiral Mullen, Deborah, Michael and

5837
03:29:03,690 --> 03:29:05,230
I, Michael and I.

5838
03:29:05,230 --> 03:29:10,410
Oh, my gosh.

5839
03:29:15,160 --> 03:29:16,160
She's a what?

5840
03:29:22,080 --> 03:29:22,760
She's a what?

5841
03:29:28,250 --> 03:29:30,710
Michelle is a transgender.

5842
03:29:31,090 --> 03:29:31,890
We all know that.

5843
03:29:31,890 --> 03:29:32,530
Oh, my gosh.

5844
03:29:32,730 --> 03:29:33,770
Oh, my gosh.

5845
03:29:34,190 --> 03:29:34,870
It's okay.

5846
03:29:38,010 --> 03:29:39,290
Oh, my gosh.

5847
03:29:40,750 --> 03:29:42,470
That's a conspiracy theory.

5848
03:29:44,510 --> 03:29:45,810
Oh, my gosh.

5849
03:29:47,450 --> 03:29:49,310
That's a conspiracy theory.

5850
03:29:50,430 --> 03:29:53,210
He's a, he's a, he's a, he's a,

5864
03:30:22,570 --> 03:30:32,220
The best podcast

5865
03:30:32,220 --> 03:30:33,740
in the universe!

5866
03:30:34,500 --> 03:30:35,900
Adios, mofo.

5867
03:30:36,040 --> 03:30:39,420
Dvorak.org slash n-a.

5868
03:30:40,100 --> 03:30:42,460
This is not My Little Pony.
